Species: Rattus norvegicus
An enzyme has been partially purified from rat liver that oxidizes (R)-lactaldehyde to methylglyoxal using NAD+ as the elctrons acceptor [Ting65]. The enzyme is specific to the D-isomer of lactaldehyde and to NADH, and catalyzes a reversible reaction. Enzymatic activity was found in all tissues tested (muscle, brain, kidney, heart, liver, spleen, lung), but was strongest in skeletal muscle and weakest in lung.
This mammalian enzyme differs from methylglyoxal reductase (NADPH-dependent) (EC 18.104.22.1683) in using NADH rather than NADPH. In addition, 188.8.131.523 catalyzes a unidirectional reduction of methylglyoxal to (R)-lactaldehyde, while the mammalian enzyme catalyzes a reversible reaction.
Created 16-Jan-2007 by Caspi R , SRI International
Enzymatic reaction of: methylglyoxal reductase (NADH-dependent)
EC Number: 18.104.22.168
(R)-lactaldehyde + NAD+ <=> methylglyoxal + NADH + H+
The reaction direction shown, that is, A + B ↔ C + D versus C + D ↔ A + B, is in accordance with the direction of enzyme catalysis.
This reaction is reversible.
Alternative Substrates for (R)-lactaldehyde: D-glyceraldehyde [Ting65 ]
In Pathways: methylglyoxal degradation VI
Inhibitors (Other): p-chloromercuribenzoate [Ting65] , iodoacetate [Ting65] , N-ethylmaleimide [Ting65]
Kinetic Parameters:

Preseason poll shows just how tough Utes football schedule will be
We've been through those familiar preseason football rituals: spring camp, award watch lists, media days. Now, with preseason national rankings, we've reached perhaps the most anticipated ritual of all. And it spells out just how tough the road will be for Utah football this year.
The Amway coaches' poll was revealed Thursday morning, and the Pac-12 has a whopping six top-25 teams: No. 4 Oregon, No. 7 UCLA, No. 11 Stanford, No. 15 USC, No. 18 Arizona State and No. 25 Washington.
Here's a thought for Utah fans: Not only do the Utes play five of those teams, they play the five highest-ranked ones in a conference play stretch from Oct. 4 to Nov. 15, with only a road game at Oregon State breaking up all those top-25 squads. Three of those games are on the road, including at UCLA and at Stanford.
This is probably what ESPN had in mind when it ranked the Utes' schedule as the toughest in the country last week.
It's worth bringing up that it seems unlikely that six ranked teams in the conference will all make it to the finish line in the top 25.
The bottom three teams in particular could be vulnerable, each for their own reasons. USC has about 65 players on scholarship, giving them a razor-thin margin for injuries as they face Fresno State, Stanford and Boston College in their first three games. Arizona State kicks off with a load of new starters on defense and will likely have to rely on its overpowering attack. Washington lost many of its explosive playmakers from last fall and is adjusting to a new coaching staff.
Oregon, UCLA and Stanford, however, are poised to remain in the top 25 barring collapse, and it seems likely that one of those three will vie for a spot in the college football playoff. As always, the league's greatest hurdle to get to the playoff is its own depth: Each of those three plays each other this year. UCLA gets the advantage of getting both the Ducks and the Cardinal at the Rose Bowl, but its conceivable that each of the elite powers takes a loss between those three games.
It's not news that the Utes will have to be a spoiler this year to even make it to a bowl, but seeing the rankings laid out plainly emphasizes the challenge they face. Without at least one win over the five ranked teams, their chances of getting to six wins look ... rough.

Thanks, Paula!

Comments about Concealer Brush:
I received my replacement brush (see below). Paula's return/replacement policy is both generous and impeccable.I love this brush and disagree with an earlier review about its lack of precision. When I wash it in a mild cleanser after use and gently squeeze water out, the tip dries in a flat point and mostly stays that way when I use it the next day. It's great for spider veins around the base of the nose.Thanks for such a fantastic brush, Paula!

Great Brush, But...
I love Paula's products and love this brush, which I've had for years. It's very accurate and durable. My "but" is that the handle soon began peeling paint and continues to do so. I hope this problem has been solved, because I'm thinking I'll have to bite the bullet and replace it.
Customer Service Response: Thanks for your review! Some amonut of wear-and-tear can be expected with any makeup brush, but what you've experienced isn't typical. Please contact us so that we may send you a replacement.
Not for precision application
By Stacy
This brush is fairly wide, so it'll work for larger areas, but it does not work well to conceal spots, which is what I bought it for. The bristles spread too much, making precise application impossible. I'll have to keep looking for a brush with stiffer bristles.
Customer Service Response: Thank you for your comments, we will be sure to share your experience with the product to Paula and her Product Development Manager and pass along your suggestions. We will credit you for this product in the meantime and please contact customer care with any questions.

Too good!
By Carolann
I had been wanting a new concealer brush and bought this one on a whim to put me over for free shipping. I am soooop glad I got it. I am a huge makeup junkie and this is the best concealer brush I've seen or used. It is comfortable in my hand. The bristles are longer, but soft around delicate skin around the eyes, yet firm enough for super precision. I am really happy with this brush. I'm so glad I bought it!
not perfect
By Rachael S.
I think it's much too large for concealer. It is quite wide, nearly a 1/4 inch. Not usable for precision application, however, it is nice for cream shadows, so it is not a waste now that I have it. Luckily.
Awesome Brush
By Sandra
I received this brush yesterday, and couldn't wait to check it out this morning. Incredibly soft and because of the shape of the bristles it can get in all those hard to reach areas around the eye. My search for a concealer brush that I like is over.
It's superb!
By Diana T.
I have a number of concealer brushes and have discovered that none of the others dare to compare. This one has a long handle and brisles that are so soft, reach anywhere and blend beautifully.

Be the first to ask us a question about this product.
What makes this product unique? Concealer Brush is a soft, expertly tapered nylon brush that is perfectly sized for precision application of concealer under the eyes. The shape of the brush allows you to use the flat side for larger areas (such as covering undereye circles) or use the tip for pinpoint application to blemishes or small areas of discoloration. Designed to work with all types of concealer, Concealer Brush can also be used to apply cream or cream-to-powder eyeshadows or liquid highlighters.
Measures 6 inches from handle to brush head.
Who is this product for? The Concealer Brush is recommended for anyone who uses concealer.
DIRECTIONS: For cream concealers in a pot or jar or stick concealers, gently stroke the flat side of the Concealer Brush over the concealer to pick up an even layer of product. Apply to the undereye area, beginning at the inner corner of the eye and blending out under the entire lower lash line. Use the brush tip to reach the inside corner of the eye near the tear duct. It is best to use a "dab and blend" method to ensure smooth, even coverage. Simply dab the concealer over dark areas and then use the side of the brush without concealer to blend and soften any hard edges. If desired, set concealer with a light dusting of loose or pressed powder. For wand-style or liquid concealers, first dab the product onto the back of your free hand. Use the full, flat side of the Concealer Brush to pick up an even layer of product, and apply as directed above. Because these types of concealers usually have a thin consistency, you may need to layer product to achieve desired level of coverage. For concealing minor discolorations and blemishes, use the tip of the Concealer Brush and gently dab concealer directly on the discolored area. Flip the brush to the "clean" side and use this to carefully feather out the edges of concealer, being sure not to remove concealer from the epicenter of the discoloration or blemish. Let dry, and set with loose or pressed powder.
How many brushes do I need?
When should I replace my brushes?

Like all fashion trends, hair trends generally come, go, and eventually come back. Infrequently, though, there is the odd hairstyle that appears to have had its time, only to soon reappear, though thoroughly evolved.
The bob and fringe (bangs) is one such hairstyle.
Surging to popularity in 2008 before fading out at the tail end of 2009, I didn't think that less than a year later a come back may be on the cards. And yet here it is, spurred on largely by model Abbey Lee Kershaw, as a part of 2011's hair trends.
Bob hairstyle on Abbey Lee Kershaw
Read on to find out more about the comeback of the bob with fringe hairstyle and how it differs from the style worn by so many through 2008 and 2009. And don't forget: if you'd like to keep up to date with all the latest hair trends, along with 2011 fashion trends, be sure to subscribe to Fashionising.com's newsletter or our RSS feed.
Bob with bangs / fringe: difference in '11?
When it was last a hairstyle trend the bob with bangs / bob with fringe was all about razor sharpness – after all, it's origins were lay in the popularity of Victoria Beckham's razor sharp 'pob' hairstyle. Thus in 2008 the bob that was favoured had an edgy appeal and was often bluntly cut to chin length. By 2009 the bob had softened a little: fringes were growing out and messy layers were taking over from blunt lines.
In 2011, the bob with bangs / fringe hairstyle continues its evolution. Like so many of the year's clothing trends, the bob with bangs / fringe is going retro. The trend towards sophisticated 1970s dressing sees the bob evolve into something slightly longer and become a hairstyle that is neatly blow-waved under with a straight (but not too harsh) edge.

The same long bob can, in 2011, also be styled with a 1960s twist: back-combed for volume with the ends flicked out, or with a softer folk influence and unfussy styling (think Jane Birkin and Francoise Hardy).
Sixties long bob with long fringe: Francoise Hardy
About the fringe / bangs
By no means is the fringe mandatory to create a retro-inspired bob; you'll note that Keira Knightley is sans fringe in the inspiration link below. A fringe with a bob is, regardless, a part of the bob hairstyle trend in 2011.
The thickness and cut of the fringe hasn't changed all that much over the past few years; with fashion favouring thick fringes with blunt-cut lines. Wispy or layered fringes are still to be avoided. What you can play with is the length, with a shorter fringe (like the one seen on Abbey Lee Kershaw, below) another option.
Abbey Lee Kershaw with short bangs / fringe
Finally, one more way to mix up the fringe in 2011 – round down the corners to add a mod face-framing effect. This can be very subtle, or more dramatic depending on your preference.
Hair colours suited to the bob with fringe
All and any. There's no real restriction to colour when it comes to the new bob, but we would suggest keeping it to a natural, block colour.

Back in 2008 and 2009
As discussed above, the bob with fringe / bangs hairstyle in 2008 / 2009 emerged from the much shorter style of the pob. It was, however, also influenced by the fact that the pixie crop was on-trend. Thus a short bob was a great alternative for those who wanted to be on-trend but saw the pixie crop as too extreme. As a result, though, the short bob wasn't as standout but it was still a hairstyle that could be owned.

In the mid-1950s, Dickie Goodman was a struggling song writer working with song publisher Bill Buchanan, when the two men came up with the idea of a fake radio program interrupted by a UFO attack (similar to the hoax Orson Welles broadcast of War of the Worlds), except in this case, the aliens spoke the language of rock 'n' roll.

the truth is.. hovering over skegness
For the first time since closing its dedicated UFO desk in December, the Ministry of Defence today released online records of all recorded UK UFO sightings between 1994 and 2000. It should be noted that the MOD itself remains sceptical at best, despite frequent recorded sightings of a mysterious blue police box.

Roswell Redux
We all know the UFO Festival is coming, but with it just a week away also comes fresh news of the crash itself. Walter Haut, the former PR man at Roswell Army Airfield, filled out an affidavit in 1993 detailing his experience with the crash. But nine years later Haut secretly filled out another, much more detailed, affidavit that was to be sealed until after his death. One with much heavier implications. Seeing as how this information was first released in book form, are we looking at a postmortem fame grab or a genuinely guilty conscience?

LOOK UP! (or down, if you happen to be reading from one of these. The annual "Amazing Roswell UFO Festival" happens this weekend, and it looks like
people - er, visitors - are coming from all over! Who knew back in 1947 that this little incident would be the start of an entire sub-culture? Well, for me the fascination started with two of the the greatest UFO movies ever. For my grandparents, it started with one of the greatest radio broadcasts ever. But hey, there's no need to rely on fiction when we have one of the most insanely great UFO videos of all time provided by none other than the Mexican Government! Seen anything strange in the sky yourself lately? If so, you'd better report it here.

Introducing: Metal Rubber. "Twist it, stretch it double, fry it to 200°C, douse it with jet fuel—the stuff survives. After the torment, it snaps like rubber back to its original shape, all the while conducting electricity like solid metal." Sounds familiar, no? Here's the son of the Roswell air field's intel officer, describing the debris he says he saw in 1947: "It was possible to flex this stuff back and forth, even to wrinkle it, but you could not put a crease in it that would stay, nor could you dent it at all. I would almost have to describe it as a metal with plastic properties." The UFO freaks are already all over the "back engineering" of Roswell crash debris. Meanwhile, there's something unusual in the sky over Minnesota right now.

Rabbit, My Way
Coniglio alla Moda Mia
Wild game dishes are very popular in Italy. In this recipe wild rabbit is marinated overnight in lemon juice and water to take away some of the "gamey" taste. If you like a stronger flavor or are using domestic rabbit, eliminate the marinating.
3 pounds wild or domestic rabbit, cut up
Juice of 1 lemon
1/4 cup Filippo Berio Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
2/3 cup diced pancetta or prosciutto
1 medium white onion, peeled and thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 1/2 cups peeled, seeded, and crushed plum tomatoes
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons minced fresh sage
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
Place the rabbit in a noncorrosive dish, pour in the lemon juice, and add enough cold water to come to the top of the dish. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator overnight. Drain rabbit and pat dry.
Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
In a heavy ovenproof skillet, heat the olive oil, add the pancetta or prosciutto, and the rabbit pieces, and brown quickly on all sides. Remove rabbit and pancetta to a dish.
Add the onion to the skillet and sauté until soft. Add the garlic and also sauté until soft. Add the vinegar, tomatoes, and wine, mix well, then simmer the mixture for 5 minutes.
Add the sage, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Return the rabbit and pancetta to the pan, cover pan with foil, and bake for 35 to 45 minutes or until the rabbit is easily pierced with a fork. Serve with the sauce poured over the rabbit.
Note: Serve this dish with polenta and pour some of the sauce over the slices.
This recipe is from NELLA CUCINA by Mary Ann Esposito, published by William Morrow and Company Inc., in 1993.

Rapper: I want to help young artists
Newnan youths looking for some relief from the summer heat (and boredom) might want to consider looking up Mizzle Enterprise on Macedonia Road.
The Urban Dictionary defines mizzle as "a type of weather between mist and drizzle; very fine, almost cloud-like rain." Kendall Mack of Newnan has his own definition.
The young man, a Newnan High School graduate, said he sees a lot of talent in Coweta County and he wants to use his experience to help other young people get the same kinds of opportunities he had.
"I got to go overseas, I got to go to Japan and Sweden. I got to be on BET. I had my share. Now I want to give back to the community and give others those same kinds of opportunities," he said. "You don't have to go anywhere else. You can be right here in Newnan and still be successful."
He said the Internet gives today's aspiring artists a platform and networking opportunities that their hip hop forebears in the 1980s and early '90s could only dream about. From the time he was 9 years old Mack used the Internet to release his songs and videos. Other Coweta rappers are doing the same thing.
"I just want to help other artists out," said Mack. Currently he is helping to shepherd the new careers of several local rappers as well as his own brother, Marquez Mack, performing under the name "Quez."
"I want to write songs about life," said the younger Mack, an NHS student. "My friends at school like the songs I've done. I've just got to keep doing it and never give up. My brother has helped me a lot."
Mack said he relished his time as a young opening act for artists like Nelly, T.I., Roscoe Dash, Travis Porter, Waka Flocka, Gucci Mane, Shawty Lo, Fabo, Chris Brown and others. He also flew to New York to be a guest speaker on BET's 106 and Park. But he said that now he wants to step back and work "behind the scenes" to "help other artists out."
"You can't really go by what your friends or family say is good or not," he said. "It's basically all about getting that one hit record. If you don't have that hit record, it doesn't matter what your beats are or your lyrics. You aren't going to get any attention or feedback from a record label. You have to be lyrical, and you have to be versatile, and you have to really deliver something on the track."
Mack said he developed a small niche because he didn't believe in cursing and rapping about drugs and violence on his records.
"That's just who I am," he said. "I was trying to make a change in the industry. But most of all I just had to be myself. Nothing negative, all positive."
While major record companies and producers charge aspiring talent exorbitant fees to evaluate new material, Mack says that's not what his new undertaking is all about.
"Some companies will charge you 25 or even 100 dollars, and then you may not even hear back from them," he said. "I'm not like that. I will take a look at those songs for free. We will take a listen and see what the next step needs to be."
He said he is also looking for opening acts for his brother as he performs locally and at Atlanta venues. "I think there's a real movement going on here, a real scene developing," he said.
Mack said he continues to stay positive even though his own major label record deal fell through due to "management terms and agreements."
"You cannot make it without faith," he said. "Of course none of us are perfect, but we can move in that direction. That is why I am going to stay positive and encourage everyone else to stay positive, too."

Haha, I like the fact that I am the Savatage authority here.
Well it's more of a question of personal preference than anything else.
In my opinion there are four "essential" Savatage albums:
Streets, Edge of Thorns, Handful of Rain, and Gutter Ballet. Regardless of whether you're a fan of the earlier stuff or the later stuff, those albums are must-hear stuff.
What kind of songs have you been listening to?
If you're into the heavy Jon Oliva stuff, Hall of the Mountain King and Power of the Night are the two seminal albums of that stuff. If you're into the more experimental stuff, Streets and Gutter Ballet for sure. If you're into Zak's stuff, all 4 albums are worth checking out. It's a complex beast to tackle because they've released a lot of amazing material throughout 11 studio albums, there's a lot of stuff to get to.
Let me know what you've heard thus far and I'll tell you where I suggest you go.
To Bloodcurse: Were you actually at this show? I'm assuming.

Any interesting gear under the tree for you this year? Or something you gave your S.O.? Or perhaps you got some gear for yourself? Just curious what's being given and gotten, so post up.
I asked for the gnar hoody and some gortex socks.
Got gear for myself. No one really knows exactly what my kit needs but me, so why not?Got myself a Borah Gear down vest and a pair of silnylon rain pants. They are being made now and I plan on doing a full report on my blog once they get here, and intend on really putting them to use and writing a long term review too. I am very excited about this order. I should also give credit where credit is due to the customer service from John at BG. He has been very friendly, informative, and patient in our many emails back and forth, and got back to me pretty quickly too. I will apparently have the very first down vest produced for sale from BG. :)EDIT - typo
Edited by PrimeZombie on 12/25/2013 02:33:44 MST.
Don't really do x-mas but did order a very nice light base layer with hoody and thumb loops, the As Tucas Zilindro Hoody. Was made in a couple of days and sent off to Japan, curious to give the Schoeller fabric a go.
Not my two front teeth. My gear costs much more than that!I generally buy my own gear but this year I held out on the Patagonia R1.My wife got me the R1 hoody and I was happy, but lurking under the hoody was a pair of LL Bean house slippers.She did good as usual. And those shoes will be very comfy whilst setting and ready BPL over the holidays.In truth I really believe she gives the best gift all through the year. NOT asking what was in that delivery, did you really need that, I thought you already had one of those. Yep she is a patient woman!
My wife an I built our own Wild Things hoodies. Came exactly as ordered. Sized true to expectations. Look like good quality.
Edited by BER on 12/25/2013 06:22:12 MST.
Mrs. Claus and the elves outdid themselves this year. Benchmade 940, BD Mega Light, and a flask which may or may not come in handy at the GGG this year.
Wow, a wife that will give her husband a butch knife. I can only imagine what that must be like.
Seeing that I laid out a bread crumb trail, drew pictures, and even composed a haiku, I think it was more to shut me up than anything else. The Mega Light was a complete surprise and I can't wait to go play in the snow with it.
My wife had a Gossamer Gear Minimalist Ultralight Daypack under the tree for me. This is our first Christmas, and I'd say she's a keeper. :-)
Got the wife a Locus Gear Khufu sil made this year. She did not like the available colors so I purchased a bunch of pretty sky blue fabric from Lightheart and convinced Jotaro to do me a solid and make one of his shelters out of the fabric I provided. Christmas will run a bit late for the wife this year, should arrive in a couple of weeks.As for me, I buy gear all year round for myself so see christmas presents as a little unnecessary. Love giving gifts though :)
I had a Grand Trunk skeeter beater pro under the tree for my wife and son - he (scout) got a new headlamp and a lighter sleeping bag REI Lumen 25 to replace his 3 plus pound alps bag (great bag but big and heavyish).I've not tried a hammock so the Granf Trunk seems like a good compromise of price features and weight. It will need some mods as the suspension is supposed to be so so at best but worst case some straps and I'm hanging (might go all in with whoopies).... And a tarp but that is doable.
Santa gave me a Lite Trail cook set. 2.9 0z.: )
Edited by leadfoot on 12/25/2013 13:16:19 MST.
I'm upgrading the in-laws and wife on flashlights. Not to a UL level, but taking them from the old incandescent lights to current LED options. That means taking the in-laws from a 3-D-cell Maglite to a 4-AA Dorcy LED flashlight of lighter weight, greater life and greater lumens. Win, win, and win.My wife likes a 3-D-cell in case the people by the side of the road in apparent need of medical care cause a fuss. Then the billy-club style and weight is nice to have. But with LEDs and lithium batteries, it is lighter, can be swung faster and (importantly) works well to -40F.

Well in my never ending quest to keep my wife warm when colder weather backpacking, I recently got and gave her a 0 degree wide quilt from E.E.I didn't get anything. But since I was required to work 8 hrs yesterday and I'm required to work 8 hrs today, think I may get myself something later since both days are time and a half plus regular pay. Would like to get a cuben pyramid tent.
I got my myself some way too expensive Rossignol Alltrack 120 ski boots. I can't bring myself to buy too many backpacking items during ski season, and also can't buy too many ski gear items during backpacking season. Horrible strategy for finding good deals.
My wife ordered me a Hexamid solo tarp and SMD Serenity Net Tent for X-mas. Woohoo!
Got my parents a Sawyer Mini, and the siblings got them a Gigipower stove. Not much to get them since last year they got new packs, a new tent, new pads and they already have down bags. Got little brother a Cold Steel Voyager knife. That is a nice piece! Need to get one for myself at some point. Little sisters are so great to shop for! Amazon.com and Starbucks gift cards are all they want (at least from a brother with no sense of fashion).
Edited by jpovs on 06/15/2014 14:15:58 MDT.
Box arrived yesterday with 4 quilts from Tim at EE. Woot!
Montane Resolute smock and 45Nrth WÖLVHAMMER winter cycling shoes for me.Orvis Zip-Back Fleece Vest for the pup.
Bought a bag, Marmot Plasma 30, with some Xmas gift cards, after months of struggling over what to get. Also received some new hiking poles. Nothing fancy, just BD Ergo Corks. Lighter than my cheapies that finally busted though.
Mom had asked me a few weeks back what I wanted, said I was ok. Then this last week have been looking at a winter quilt, so told mom what I needed and how much. Got a Christmas card with some folding currency with a few zeroes at the ends. :)Duane
So, after nearly depleting my stash of 4 oz. Snow Peak fuel canisters during my cold weather stove tests, the elves suggested that I contact Mountain Gear for another case. I went with the MSR Isopro, as I didn't see any Snow Peak on their site. Right after they sent it out, I got nervous--were they really the 4 oz. version, or did I have brain lock and buy the 8 oz. canisters? I called Mountain Gear and had a great chat with the guy. I told him that I had bought the last case of Snow Peak fuel from them, as they are about the only vendor that will actually sell and ship cases of canister fuel (hazmat hassles). He assured me that they sent out the 4 oz. canisters, and he said they also sell the Snow Peak ones. Damn, somehow I'd missed seeing that on their site. Snow Peaks weigh 7.1 oz. full, and the MSRs weigh 7.5 oz. Being gram weenies yourselves, I'm sure y'all find this quite interesting so far. No? Really?Well, this plot thickens. I decided to pull the trigger on another case of canisters, this time the Snow Peak ones. They're on their way now. When they get here, I'll have a full lifetime supply of 4 oz. fuel canisters. This is where it gets quite interesting, folks. I mean, will I actually live long enough to ever have to buy another case of stove fuel? But a man can't have too many fuel canisters, can he? Or tents, or bags, or packs, or stoves, or....?I find this whole gear addiction thing interesting.I hope each one of you had a nice day today, and that your New Year is a prosperous one. I've enjoyed sharing the forums with you over the past year--you're a special bunch of folks.
I got lots of new reading material, a sawyer mini, exped air pillow, toaks 550 pot, esbit wing stove, fire steel, and Swiss army mini. Quite the motherlode.
I got a few amazon gift cards that I blew on random gear (sawyer mini, Toaks ti pot, a new headlamp.....), I also got an REI flash 4 - which is actually 50l since it is a Large. The Flash was on sale for $63, and I had a a $25 rei gift card from coworkers. I also got the Helinox chair. I had never seen one, and thought it would be a good addition to my bike touring/kayak set up - but it was a little more bulky than I had imagined so I sent it back. I now have $80 credit at Moosejaw.My wife also got me a new brooks saddle for my touring bike I built up last year. I just couldn't get over my old brown brooks on a new black surly. So she got me a black flyer. Now come the joys of breaking in a brooks saddle - but it is worth it.

Nothing for me but a pair of Red Ryder BB guns for the kids.
Time spent teaching those kids to use and safely handle those RR's will be much better than any gift you could have hoped to receive. You are blessed.
Wondering how soon some of this gear is going to end up on swap
"Time spent teaching those kids to use and safely handle those RR's will be much better than any gift you could have hoped to receive."Teach them? I suppose I should've read the instructions first.The dog runs and hides when she hears one get cocked, there are four dead sparrows in our yard, one of the neighbors' windows is broken, and I've got a bloody welt on my neck.:)
"The dog runs and hides when she hears one get cocked, there are four dead sparrows in our yard, one of the neighbors' windows is broken, and I've got a bloody welt on my neck."I guess it's a good thing someone hasn't lost an eye....
I didn't get any fancy cottage gear, but I did get a few things from my wish list. I got my wife a pair of Salomon Speedcross 3's.Adrien
A family friend just got his 9 year old girl a pink Red Rider. When she asked for it we asked her what she wanted it for "Because when I grow up I want to join the army and have a pink rifle. When I shoot a bad guy I'll yell 'You've been pinkified, Sucker!'"I told him that was so cute I'd buy it myself if he couldn't afford it!Craig do I need to fly out too CA and teach your kids how too shoot? "Rule #1 Don't shoot the dog...

Best Christmas ever. The 22nd was our 30th anniversary and under the tree we had a new 9 tray Excalibur Dehydrator and tickets to Patagonia in March. Let the adventure begin.
Edited by RogerDodger on 07/06/2015 12:01:29 MDT.
"This statement is not directed at or intended to pick on Craig."There's the possibility that humor was involved and that it was not to be taken seriously. But again, there's the possibility that he wasn't joking and if so, that must have been one hell of a Christmas morning.
> a new 9 tray Excalibur Dehydrator and tickets to Patagonia in March.As the OP, I hereby award you the best gift of thread! The next step is for you to pretend to feel guilty for the less fortunate, and to insist that other people redistribute their wealth or donate their funds to charity. You can't take a trip to Patagonia toting your newly dried foods without some sort of public show of morality. But once you've completed the necessary exculpatory steps, I hope you enjoy the heck out of yourselves.
http://www.2qzqhammockhanger.com/hammockaccessories.htmlA breathable ripstop coyote brown under-quilt protector from 2QZQ. It should be in the high 20's and misty here pretty soon so I can give it a try. Then I'll give it another test when we get some cold with wind. I'm hoping it will help extend the range of my hammock setup* a little.* WBBB DBL 1.7, Hammock Gear 20* Incubator Under Quilt, WB Mamba 3 season top quilt, WB MambaJamba tarp
Let's go bikepacking!I also got a gift from Wool & Prince, the kickstarter who fielded for testers. They're having me use a few of their shirts for a while and report back (which I'll do here for those interested as well).
I received 3 new pairs of Smartwool socks (which double as my everyday socks) and 3 yards of Zpacks insect netting to make a bug sock for the Grand Trunk Nano. My mom even went out in the cold and laid in the Hammock so I could make adjustments. She's a good woman!I gave out Sawyer minis to everyone. Happy Holidays!
Max,Which manufacturer did you go with for that bag? At the moment, I'm leaning towards Bolder Bikepacking for my 29er. http://bolderbikepacking.wordpress.com/
proper bike lights for this early-sunset time of year. light + motion "urban 700" commuter pack. would like a proper strobe for daytime, but the form factor, brightness, and USB charging is all good.
Prepping for the AT, so gear was all I had on my wishlist. Made out pretty well.Gnar hoodie, Houdini, 20 L OR drysack, Snow Peak LiteMax stove, a mylar blanket, a leatherman, a compass thermometer, and the AT Guide (2013 version, unfortunately)Also, one sister gave me a ton of dehydrated goodies for the trail.
I got some smartwool hiking socks and a pair of kahtoola KTS Steel crampons. I gave her a Patagonia cap 4 zip neck shirt and a patagonia R3 jacket. The rest is all about the kids..
Pair of Smartwool PhD running socks. Bottle of J&B scotch.
A sheet of Carbon fibre and matching epoxy
I got my gf a replacement MHW Scrambler pack after hers was stolen. Upgraded her to the ULT version in hopes of dragging her on some backpack trips (she'll camp, she'll climb, she'll hike...but the "backpacking" part is still out of reach). She got me/us a pair of the costco snow shovels in prep for some winter camping.I had a pack stolen stolen on Halloween that was ready for a weekend trip so I took advantage of black Friday to start gearing up again. GG Mariposa, WM UL20, REI Flash 45, Rab element solo tarp, Cap 4 Hoodie. I also took advantage of the season to get some MB synth insulated pants and a rab neutrino plus in prep for some winter summits!
> A sheet of Carbon fibre and matching epoxyDarn, that's what I meant to ask for...!
Delmar,Mea culpa,mea culpa, mea maxima culpa. Did I forget to mention that I'm also retiring at the end of the month? I will, however, supply an in depth trip report when we get back.
Oh yeah, forgot to mention, Aclima woolnet zip neck top and woolnet bottoms. Love this stuff. Thanks to Danny Milks for letting me know about Nordic Outdoors! Easy to deal with.
My present to myself arrived today. Got me a caldera cone inferno package with 1.3l vargo titanium pot. Look for my CC snow peak setup on gear swap soon.
Rab Myriad Neoshell jacket from my wife and a Golite Crestone Neoshell Bib and First Ascent Peak XV Down Parka from Santa (myself) :-)
Got my wife an REI Flash pack and used WM bag so she could join me on trips in the future.I got a new stove.
I may have mentioned it in a few threads already, but I got Mrs. pitsy a hat from Kat_P because she goes to work at 4am and our little VW doesn't heat up before she gets to work.She got me some Dickies coveralls for when I work on the car. Now I won't ruin my regular clothes and I'll be a bit warmer when I'm laying under the car.
So many goodies! Thanks all for sharing.My son and I use HMG Porter packs, and we didn't want my wife to be left out, so we got her the HMG tote bag. Now we need to take her to the beach, which is rather appealing in snowy Montana right now.My favorite gift may have been a Smartwool beanie hat. It has stripes and color and a tassle, so it has some character! It's a refreshing departure from BLACK ULTRALIGHT FLEECE...and only weighs an ounce more ;)
I got exactly what I asked for - a GG Mariposa :D
My GF bought me a new Arc Blast with goodies: shoulder pocket, load lifters, trekking pole holders and lumbar pad. Winter needs to shove off so I can put it to good use.I also got a Spyderco Delica 4 and a Fenix PD35, both of which I love so far.
Edited by BasqueJ88 on 01/06/2014 19:24:01 MST.
The important people in my life got MountainGoat Hats -- Thanks, Kat!My wife also got 4 titanium straws for the camper.I got no gear, because I don't need any new stuff.
My wife got me a new snowboard (and I quickly updated my bindings and helmet to go with. Got only two days in, and am back in Cali praying for rain, I mean snow. I also scored from the kindness of friends, some fine wool Filson shirts, that could make it on a BP trip some day, but will likely look more at home around town (you know hard to pair with neon, sale priced wind pants/jackets. I also got a tiny thumb operated pepper mill, which might actually make it out on shorter trips where whole birds or T-bones tag along. Not sure, but I know my mother-in-law was thinking of my BP pursuits when she put it in my stocking. More importantly, and all-in-all everyone had a great year and remain blessed with health, family, and companionship. We are/feel very lucky and grateful.
After several years of stirring, I bought my partner a Sheewee extreme.She's still not talking to me, but I'm sure in time she will grow to love it, lol.

Upside-Down Stuffed Peppers
Peperoni Ripieni Sottosopra
This is one of the most magical dishes of southern Italy, especially from around the province of Avellino, in Campania. I have often grown sweet bell peppers in my garden, but the sweetness of those I have had from Campania far outshines anything I have ever tasted here. It is the variety, the intensity of the Mediterranean sun, and the long growing season that accounts for this. Or maybe it is the proximity of grumpy Mount Vesuvius that has lent richness to the soil over the centuries.
Whatever the reasons, these delicious peppers and the variety of seasonings and stuffings they encase are a favorite of many. My mother makes hers with ground beef, ground pork, and ground veal and keeps this meat mixture moist by baking the stuffed peppers upside down. They can be baked a day ahead and are even better as leftovers. They make a great entree for a party. Serve a salad and crusty bread and let the party begin!
4 tablespoons Filippo Berio Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
1 medium onion, peeled and minced
3 pounds boneless pork butt, cut into 1-inch chunks
1/2 pound sweet Italian sausage
2 large cloves garlic, minced
2 (28-ounce) cans crushed tomatoes
1 (28-ounce) can tomato puree
2 teaspoons fine sea salt
1/2 teaspoon coarse black pepper
5 or 6 leaves fresh basil, shredded
9 large sweet bell peppers, washed and dried
1 pound ground sirloin
1 pound ground pork
1 pound ground veal
2 cups cooked rice
1 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
1 large onion, peeled and minced
4 eggs
2 tablespoons minced parsley
3 teaspoons sea salt
1 teaspoon coarse black pepper
7 cups of tomato sauce
To make the sauce, in a sauce pot heat the olive oil and cook the onion until it softens. Stir in the pork butt chunks and Italian sausage and brown on all sides. Stir in the garlic and cook until the garlic softens. Lower the heat and stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato puree, salt and pepper. Cover and simmer the sauce for about 1 hour. Stir in the basil. The sauce is now ready to use. The meat is usually removed from the sauce and served as an entree; it gives the sauce its' great flavor as it simmers.
Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
Cut 1/4 -inch off the tops of the peppers. Carefully remove the seeds with a spoon, then rinse the peppers and set them aside.
In a large bowl, combine the sirloin, pork, veal, rice, cheese, onions, eggs, parsley, salt and pepper. Mix gently with your hands. Fill the cavities of the peppers with some of the mixture, being careful not to overpack them or they will split in the oven while baking.
Ladle 1 1/2 cups of tomato sauce in each of 2 large baking pans. Arrange the peppers upside down in the pans. Ladle 2 cups of the sauce over each pan of peppers. Cover the pans tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the peppers are soft. Remove the pans from the oven, remove the foil, and carefully turn the peppers right-side up. Serve the peppers immediately with additional sauce on the side.

Diagnostic Medical Sonography
What's New!
- Pre-Requisite Changes!!! Effective January 2015
- BIOL 221/221L No longer a pre-requisite after Fall 2014
- Application Deadline is April 1st
- Orientation - for program information and acquire application forms
- TEAS V (HOBET) testing - one attempt per year
Associate Degree of Applied Science
Certificate of Completion
Diagnostic Medical Sonography (Ultrasound) is a medical imaging field that utilizes sound waves to obtain information and produce images of internal structures/functions of the body.
The program is approximately 17 months in length and is designed to provide students with the academic coursework and clinical internship experience necessary to apply for national certification examinations in the specialty areas of Abdominal and OB/Gyn Sonography.
There are 2 pathways to qualify for this program; depending on your educational background:
- Certificate Program pathway is for those applicants who have either a 2-year allied health degree (such as radiologic technology) OR a bachelor's degree in a medically-related science (see prerequisite and admission requirements for specific content).
- Associate of Applied Science pathway is for those applicants whose background does not qualify them for the certificate track. This requires students to complete a minimum of 11 pre-requisite courses (see prerequisite and admission requirements for specific content).
The prerequisite courses must be completed by the time of application to the program and the student must have maintained at least a 3.0 overall college GPA with no more than one "C" in the prerequisite courses. This program is a full time program and all sonography core courses relate to each other and are only offered once during the program and therefore cannot be taken out of sequence. Students must maintain a grade of "C" in all sonography core coursework and clinical internships to remain in the program. Students must take and pass "End of Program Mock Registry Examinations" in order to graduate regardless of their academic standing in the program. Completion of the entire program is required for a student to be eligible to apply for the national registry examinations through the American Registry of Diagnostic Medical Sonography (ARDMS) or the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT).
All students will be required to have personal health insurance to attend clinicals.

Popular Teas from international house of teaSee All 12 Teas
Recent Tasting Notes
My experience of sitting outside listening to the trees as they sway in the wind is more enjoyable than this tea… but that is because I am outside apply for more jobs and it takes my mind off of it. Something about closing my eyes right now and just embracing the bit of serenity that I can conjure up is quite nice.
This is a nice oolong with resteep potential. I have drank over 40 ounces of it at this point and I am still going so that is a good sign. While it may be enjoyable, it is a bit dry. Overall a decent oolong.
My first gyokuro! This is a very savoury, vegetal green tea. The steeped leaves are bright green and smell like cooked spinach. I think I can taste notes of corn, green beans, cooked greens… there's some bitterness developing as I reach the bottom of the cup.
My first time trying international house of tea! A got a small amount from my husband's cousin who is no longer drinking teas with caffeine. This tea is really nice and smooth and "pure tasting". I have to watch it with oolong teas due to my sensitive stomach so I probably will just use this tea up and not repurchase, but I definitely recommend it for those who like oolongs!
I took the remainder of this from the GCTTB3 box when I had it, and there was only a smidgen of leaf in the bag anyway, so I decided to make it iced. Coldbrewed for about 10 hrs or so. I also added a spoonful of sugar into the whole mix.
The liquor is a beautiful pale yellow, but I think it absorbed smells and flavours from other teas in the box, as it tastes more floral than fruity. Luckily, there was no astringency.
One more tea down.
GCTTB Rd 3:
This tea is really nice. It's creamy for sure and has an amazing caramel sweetness that pairs perfectly with the smooth base. I am really enjoying this cup and am almost tempted to steal the rest from the box but I feel others should get a chance to enjoy it too. Thank you Calla for sharing :)
This one didn't appear to be in the steepster database, so I added it. I am hoping it wasn't somewhere else under a different name.
I quite like ginger peach teas. I don't think I have ever had a white blend before though. This one was pretty decent. Definitely a nice ginger peach flavour. The ginger was just spicey enough but not too powerful, a bit sweet. The peach was juicy and sweet, like candy. The white tea worked well with the flavouring. I was a bit surprised because the white tea was a bit bitter like dandelion greens. But it worked with the tea.
Sipdown! I've been struggling with tea lately so i decided today needed to be at least one sipdown. I actually have very much enjoyed this one though it always feels like there's some sort of flavouring in it when i drink it. Sad to see the last of this go, but happy it might mean an order in the future lol
Also one of my morning teas! I wanted to try it with GOOD water and it's still a tasty brew for me. I may need to try and place an order from this company when i can do that just to try out a few more teas since i've enjoyed the couple that i've now tried. Thanks boxermama!
183 in case anyone's paying attention as my verdant blends club teas finally arrived. Still though, only 33 away from my black friday goal and there are 32 days left until then and I'm a master of weekend sipdowns heh. No orders incoming either AND even if Terri sends the BBB Box my way, it won't get here until mid to end of november and should only include 4 teas or so :)
I still haven't mailed it!
Although I have put teas in there for you & TB, I also want to include some extra things, if you know what I mean :)
I admit, it sucks, but it is what it is. Mainly I'm sad that I didn't get my part of the TeaVivre order, but hopefully someone somewhere is enjoying my teas, or who knows, maybe it will eventually show up…still hoping…
Thank you boxermama! For this addition to the BBB box. I brought this one with me because I thought it would be a good one for mornings and afternoons. Also, I still hadn't managed to try it and the box will be on its way again soon. I'm doing y best to try and get through the teas sent to me before the next round arrives, though if think this time I won't manage it. This is a nice malty and sweet tea At the same time. I'm curious as to how it will taste once I get home since the water here. Is uh….interesting lol
Sipdown! I finally got the chance to try this as a latte and man it is deeeeelicious! Nothing says good morning awful friday which had me up late last night testing, like this. It's like drinking a piece of liquid tiramisu. Yep. I am loving this as a latte. I'm guessing with a teeeeny bit of sweetner it would bring the flavours out even more. woot! thanks boxermama!
I really need to try this as a latte. I like this a bunch, though i wouldn't want it every day. :) I like that this doesn't hide the puerh taste but still reminds me of tiramisu. Thanks again for sharing this with us as part of the BBB Box, Boxermama!
this is from the BBB Box… and from the elusive boxermama. need to dash to bed, but i drank thing tonight and it was tasty. better tasting note next time but for now i need my beauty sleep! training session tomorrow for our sales guys…"how to use our demo effectively" haha
BoxerMama's 2nd offering to the BBBB.
Due to my milk allergy, I've never had Tiramisu. That's probably a good thing, because I'd be making it all the time & weighing in at 300 lbs in no time. Luckily, there are teas that taste like decadent desserts, & although I shun most of them because of artificial flavors, there are a few exceptions. So this tea has a decent puerh base, free of funky odors & tastes. The prominent taste is coffee, with an unsweetened cocoa powder backdrop. It's actually a little bitter, & pretty satisfying to me right now. If I added sweetener that would probably bring out more creamy cakey flavors & it would be more dessert-like…or not. I might try adding a little maple on the resteep, just to see how it turns out…& maybe some of that left over coconut whipped cream…hmmmmm….hopefully it won't ruin it!
Sipdown! 204
I think I've made it one of my goals today to get down to 200 teas.
Why not?
Of course, that is just one of my goals. The other goals include 3 hours minimum of practice time, & a couple of hours of writing on my nanowrimo project (I'm miserably behind so far…sigh…).
I brought my bag of teas from the BBB Box (the 3B Box…the Triple B Box?) to Tony's. I figured we'll be eating a decadent brekkie, sitting around in PJs all day, watching Baseball from noon on (Cardinals vs Cincinnati Reds), & hopefully I'll post a blog entry (I'm a terrible blogger, it takes me forever to create a post).
So, this tea is from BoxerMama! I couldn't resist starting with it because the name "Scottish Breakfast" is, at least in my mind, synonymous with the word "bold". And it is! It's a well rounded cup, with a nice dark chocolate liquor low end, a malty middle, & the high end as fairly bright, my least favorite feature, but it doesn't ruin the overall cup. I steeped a rounded tsp for 3 min. It's a little on the astringent side, but definitely lives up to it's name! Thanks BoxerMama!
Tea number 3 out of the BBBB, this one from Boxermama. My mom really liked this one. Me, not so much. I don't love tiramisu or coffee flavored teas, but my mom loves all of that so I made this when she came over to watch my kids just so I could have a sip and then let her enjoy the rest. The puerh, while definitely present, doesn't overwhelm the flavors. I can imagine it's actually pretty tasty if you like tiramisu flavor and it resteeps really well. My mom took the rest of my sample home with her. I'm slowly converting her to tea. One mug at a time. Thanks for helping with me with the cause Boxermama!
Wow! I'm not a huge flavored puer person, although I love my Sichuan Caravan, & brioche or cinnamon toast or whatever that one was that I tried, but I admit, this sounds awesome!
Yeah, this one has a nice flavor to it. Cinnamon swirl bread is the ultimate in flavored puerhs for me. Brioche is just a plain old flavored black tea. It's that good and bready without puerh! It's probably my favorite flavored black, that or caramel vanilla assam. Yum, I haven't had that in awhile, I think I'm due for some.

Robots also tried to replace the president in Ben 10, but I don't think they actually succeeded. And there's a robot president at the World's Fair in the Firesign Theater album I Think We're All Bozos On This Bus, but I'm not clear on whether it's meant to be the real president. At least nobody would question the experience, leadership or courage of our benevolent President Executron:
Also, John Quincy Adding Machine became the first robot president, winning by exactly one vote according to Futurama. Voters were won over by his campaign pledge not to go on a killing spree, but like most politicians, he couldn't keep all his promises. And then there's this guy:
Mutant Presidents: Captain America didn't just punch out Richard Nixon, he also battled a hideously mutated Ronald Reagan. Viper and the evil Serpent Society put a chemical into the Washington D.C. water supply that would mutate anyone who drank it into a snake monster. Captain America finally put a stop to this scheme, but first he had to battle the mutant snake version of President Reagan. Just another example of business as usual in Washington. There's also Leo Barnett, the two-term president in George R.R. Martin's Wildcards universe. There are odd hints that Barnett may actually be a mutant. You could argue that Sylar, who became president in an evil alternate future in Heroes, is a mutant rather than a plain old human. So which of these upstanding leaders would you prefer to lead America through the challenges of the early 21st century?

Movie Review: "Limelight"Published by Clay Cane on Thursday, December 1, 2011 at 8:30 am.
Once upon a time — actually, about 15 years ago — tourists would travel to New York not just for Broadway or shopping in SoHo, but for the Big Apple's famous clubs. Black, white, Latino, gay, straight — there was a club for everyone in the concrete jungle. Today, New York City has been 100% gentrified. There are no clubs — unless you consider a bar coined as a "lounge" with a DJ stuffed in a corner who presses play on his iPod.
From the '70s to the '90s, New York City clubs were massive spectacles: several floors, a maze of rooms, celebrity attendees and the most popular DJs in the world would spin the music. The king of the clubs was Peter Gatien, who owned three of New York's most profitable hot spots: Limelight, Tunnel and Palladium. The Limelight was a former church built in 1844. The Tunnel was once a warehouse for subway cars (Tunnel was famously known for its hip hop nights. The doc includes rare footage of 50 Cent, Jay-Z and Lil' Wayne). The Palladium was once a concert hall that had a 5,500 capacity. Gatien helped make all of these clubs a multi-million dollar success.
Directed by Billy Corben, Limelight chronicles the journey of Peter Gatien but, more interesting, the annihilation of nightlife in New York City under former Mayor Giuliani. Clubs were stereotyped as environments for drugs and promiscuity and a few isolated incidents resulted in a battle between Gatien and the city of New York. Allegedly, Gatien was framed with drug busts — from informants who were also criminals — and eventually nailed for tax evasion. Corben's look at the viciousness of when Gotham City wants you to vanish was well told, more balanced than imbalanced and heavy on nostalgia — especially if you remember the vibrancy of New York's club scene.
Corben tells an engaging story which includes corruption, murder, drugs, violence and the right to party. That said, if you are not a New Yorker or remember the good old days of New York City's nightlife, the film may not resonate. However, Limelight is still an important documentary on a historic time in New York City.

Two of the most talked about pop-culture famers have consummated their way into parenthood, and why not? Kim and Kanye have experienced their fair share of hate, but have parlayed their magnetic talent into mega-brands for them both. Attention whoring has become a HUGE business and Kayne's talent matched with Kim Kardash's PR skills will grow this baby's fame to immeasurable exponents. It's important to understand that Kanye has loved Kim through a number of relationships as a friend, and will serve as a great support to her during this time…he's proven resilency, love and consistency.
She needs someone that understands her and sees her through the eyes of LOVE and adoration. My bet: This is going to be a great pregnancy for her, though talked about on an ongoing basis. I think Kim will make a great mother, and Kanye a great father. She's been searching for "true" love for so long, and certainly deserves this.
Very happy for her! And to all the haters, go hate on another bitch, like your mom!

Monthly Newsletter of the
Olympia Amateur Radio Society
P.O. Box 2861, Olympia, WA 98507
--back to OARS
home page
Four members of OARS car pooled to the Radio Club of Tacoma's first monthly meeting, which occurs on the second Wednesday of each month. Their second meeting occurs on the 4th Wednesday of the month, at exactly the same time as ours. This is an unfortunate problem I wasn't aware of, because the RCT had an excellent program, and will have another at the same time we're having ours. For those of us who are ham club meeting junkies, it'd be nice if we didn't overlap them, so we could more easily work with them to the benefit of both of us. If, for example, they had a great presenter and we met the next, or previous, night, we could get the presenter here, too.
The RCT meeting started at 7:30 the same as ours, with introductions -- but they had about 70 people present. They had coffee, sold raffle tickets, and had a great presentation on the Kure Island DXpedition, with slides, by someone who'd been on the trip. The show took until 9:30; they drew the prizes, and went home happy. I was impressed.Apparently they have 260 members, and I saw several Olympia people there. In conversation it turns out they choose RCT over us because of the 2 meetings a month and the schedule conflict!
Our upcoming meeting will be a DVD of the 2002 World RadioSport Championship competition, held in Finland. Many of you will remember the 1996 competition, held in the San Francisco bay area. The participants were treated to a lunch at Tumwater's Heritage Park. That was a great time. We met a lot of luminaries in this tremendous hobby, and broke bread with them, and traded pins and stories. I wish this event would return here again!As last month, we're meeting in the South Bay Fire Station; this time in the fire truck area as, for this month only, there's something going on in the meeting room. I'll be bringing the projector, PA system, DVD player, and screen. I'm hoping to see you all there -- we'll get to look in the fire trucks and think about getting radios for the fire department.So, BCNU at this event! 73!

Enthusiasm and anticipation have been building within the DX community this week as the radio window is about to open once again on the Andaman and Nicobar Islands (VU4). The National Institute of Amateur Radio (NIAR) in Hyderabad, India, will sponsor a first-of-its-kind event, "Hamfest - (VU4) India - 2006," April 18-20 in Port Blair on South Andaman Island. Dozens of VU4 stations are expected on the air.
India's telecommunication authorities have issued a number of short-term licenses to both nationals and foreigners, and operations reportedly will extend beyond the three-day festival to April 26. The most recent VU4 DXpedition, led by Bharathi Prasad, VU2RBI, in December 2004, turned into a disaster communication operation after the devastating South Asia earthquake and tsunami. Prasad and others involved in the 2004 VU4 DXpedition are expected to be active during the Andamans hamfest activity.
All call signs for this event will bear the VU4AN prefix followed by an India mainland call sign. There will be no operation from Nicobar Island and, so far, no operation on 30 meters.According to The DX Magazine's 2005 survey of DXers Andaman and Nicobar Islands was the 10th most-wanted DXCC entity. There's more information on the NIAR Web site http://www.niar.org.

We went to the movie the other night. I sat in an aisle seat as I usually do, because it feels a little roomier. Just as the feature was about to start, a baby boomer from the center of the row got up and started working her way out. "Excuse me, sorry, oops, excuse me, pardon me, gotta hurry, oops, excuse me."
By the time she tot to me, I was trying to look around her and I was a little impatient, so I said "Couldn't you have done this a little earlier?" "No!!" she said in a loud whisper. "The TURN OFF YOUR CELL PHONE PLEASE message just flashed up on the screen, and mine is out in the car."

65% of people say that cheating on your income tax is worse than cheating on your spouse. The other 35% were women. -- Jay Leno.
Intaxication: Euphoria at getting a tax refund, which lasts until you realize it was your money to start with.
Here is your chance to operate one of the "new" digital modes that has a lot of history behind it.
For the past six or seven years I've enjoyed the leisurely pace of Hellschreiber, a digital mode that prints across your computer screen a bit like a fax, which is why it is sometimes dubbed the "fuzzy mode."
Feld-Hell chugs along at 25 wpm, and some software allows you to print simple pictures like smiley faces and stars. Mostly you'll find US operators who like to rag chew, but I've had some European DX contacts as well.
A RICH HISTORY There is a rich history to this mode, which was originally patented in 1929 by Rudolf Hell and used extensively in portable field operations during WWII. It eventually was employed by some news services and remained in use as recently as 1980. Unlike teleprinters, Hellschreiber machines had only two moving parts and so were mobile and dependable.
Today you don't need a Hellschreiber machine because of software by IZ8BLY, MultiPSK or the commercial MixW.
ANYBODY OUT THERE? Until recently, Hellschreiber enthusiasts were sometimes frustrated by the low level of activity in the mode. Then in March a Feld-Hell club was formed which has stimulated new interest in the old fuzzy mode. Membership is free and there are some achievement awards, links to a cluster that spots digital stations, a club newsletter and a weekly 20-meter net.
You can learn about the Hellschreiber mode, join the club and get links to software at http://www.feldhellclub.co.uk/ .

Gifts from generous donors will help the ARRL Education and Technology Program (ETP -- also known as "The Big Project") to expand the number of Teachers Institutes (TIs) it's offering this year. Now in their third year, the free, week-long workshops provide educators with hands-on experience in electronics and wireless technology. ETP Coordinator Mark Spencer, WA8SME, says the five Teachers Institutes will expand upon what he learned during the 2004 and 2005 sessions.
"It was hands-on before," Spencer says. "I'm just going to make it even more hands-on." Those participating in this year's TIs will get to use various pieces of test equipment and electronic devices early in the class session. In past years, students first built the project boards from kits, then used them in experiments.
"They still will leave the institute with the boards in kit form," Spencer explained. "I think it's important for the teachers to smell rosin smoke in their faces. They need to build the boards." That do-it-yourself aspect, he said, "is a basic part of learning about electronics, but they already will have used the completed boards in the classroom."
The 2006 classes also will place a greater emphasis on space-related technology including Amateur Radio satellites. "My slant on that is you don't need to have thousands of dollars of sophisticated equipment to operate the satellites today," Spencer said. "You can use the current generation of satellites with some very simple equipment." The curriculum also includes material on weather satellites.
Two of the 2006 Teachers Institutes will be held at ARRL Headquarters. The other three will take place in New Jersey and California (see schedule below). The program hopes to serve 60 educators this year, about twice as many as in 2005.
The 12 seats available for each institute are filled on a first come, first served basis. The ETP TI scholarship grant includes travel, room and board, and a modest per diem stipend to help out with incidentals. Attendees also leave with instructional resources for the electronics, microcontroller and robotics segments and a resource library of relevant ARRL publications.
ARRL Chief Development Officer Mary Hobart, K1MMH, says the Teachers Institutes have been beneficiaries of the Brandenburg Life Foundation established by David Brandenburg, K5RQ, and his wife Diana. Other donor partners wish to remain anonymous. For 2006, appeals went out to additional donors to fund the added course sessions.
"The TI program has become a keystone of ARRL's invigorated commitment to education," said Hobart. "These have been universally well-received, and there's been a lot of positive feedback from the teachers who attended."
Hobart and Spencer point out that the impact of the sessions on each teacher ultimately will touch thousands of their students. "It's an ooze," Spencer described the process. He says his experience has shown that teachers who attend the TIs don't necessarily start applying what they learned until well after the institutes have adjourned.
"Because there's a lot of material, it takes them a good nine months to see where it fits and start feeding it into the curriculum," he said, "but it's happening."
The deadline to apply for an Education and Technology Program Teachers Institute grant is May 15, 2006. Contact ETP Coordinator Mark Spencer, WA8SME, 530-495-9150 (Pacific Time zone) or via e-mail email@example.com for more information.

After her son fell into the pond yet again and came home with his good school clothes dripping wet, the exasperated mother sent him to his room and washed and dried his clothes.
A little later, she heard a commotion in the back yard and called out, "Are you out there wetting your pants again?" There was dead silence for a moment. Then a deep, masculine voice answered meekly, "No, ma'am, I'm just reading the meter."

The live recording of Africa's first ever Comedy Central Roast – The Roast of Steve Hofmeyr – on Tuesday night at the Gold Reef City Casino's Lyric Theatre in Johannesburg has attracted a mixed crowd reaction; with some people commenting it was a job well done, while others see it as a joke gone really bad.
With a no holds-barred attitude, the Comedy Central Roast involves a bunch of celebrities sacrificing themselves on the altar of extreme comedy all in the name of fun and spicing up their careers. But for the local entertainer Kuli Roberts, the consequences of her involvement may have seemed harsher than she expected. Roberts isn't the one feeling let down. So are a few other observers such as singer and social activist, Simphiwe Dana are feeling it too.
According to our source, Dana was so appalled that she even shed a tear when speaking to Roberts on the phone after the show.
"Simphiwe thinks that Kuli's attacks were way too personal and a bit more racially charged. She didn't like the fact that she was being attacked by almost every one," she said. This would explain why Dana took to Twitter. "@ComedyCentral roast of Steve Hofmyr. Only roast I witnessed was of Kuli Roberts. It didn't sit well with me. I don't know."
When approached for comment yesterday Roberts was overwhelmed with emotion and couldn't speak. Dana was elusive. She couldn't deny nor confirm the reports, except to say "call me in 30, 20 minutes", every time we called.
But for roaster David Kau the show wasn't all doom and gloom. "It was awesome. Everyone delivered. We made fun of each other and lived up to what the roast is expected to be," he said. About Roberts' supposed attacks, Kau said: "It's a coincidence that most of us chose to go for Kuli. Besides, she is always out there in the public eye. Someone as carefree and outspoken as her would certainly make perfect material for many of us."
Responding to the complaints, publicist Alison Reid said: "All the panellists got roasted and no one escaped, but the title of the TV show is the Comedy Central Roast of Steve Hofmeyr and the TV episode on September 24 will definitely reflect this.
"The editorial content of the show is entirely at Comedy Central's discretion and we will decide what goes in and what goes out."
» Chaos Theory, tweeted: "?@Shooo.... The Comedy Central Roast of Steve Hofmeyr was incredibly funny last night. "
» Metro FM's Melanie Bala said: "Trevor is going in on Kuli Robterts 'I don't know what's blacker, your lips or your liver?' #RoastZA."
» Singer Chris Chameleon wrote: "The problem with this @steve_hofmeyr roast is it's going to pose a huge dilemma to those who feel the need to hate him."

My wife has taken correctol, the brand name, bisacodyl 5 mg. IT is no longer made by correctol. I bought the Bisacodyl through Amazon and so far they have been working, she says. She had tried other, Cvs, walmart,dollar general etc. and they did not work.I will be ordering them from you again, hopefully. Please email me a link to order them when I need to. Thank you Morton Wolfson
These work well for constipation. Normally, they take between 30 to 45 minutes to be really effective when I use them. Bisacodyl stimulates the colon muscles, and it's important to wait long enough to give it a chance to work. Although the instructions say the suppositories work in as little as 15 minutes, you probably should plan on waiting at least 20 to 30 minutes after insertion before going to the toilet.

I used the Picture Frame Square in alternate rows of Pink and Vanilla to make a baby blanket for my boss's new baby girl. It turnd out quite nice. Everybody loved the pattern and It got me a comission to make another baby blanket for a little baby boy. I will have to find a different square more suited to a boy.
