Bump My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark (Remix), the latest cut from Fall Out Boy which features 2 Chainz on the assist. It dropped on Wednesday, April 3rd, 2013. Fall Out Boy's horizons are broadening with each new release, and My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark (Remix) is no exception. It's a worthy addition to a catalogue that has seen much growth since Fall Out Boy stepped foot in the rap game. We're looking forward to hearing more.

Quotable Lyrics
"Be careful making wishes in the dark
Can't be sure when they've hit their mark
And besides, in the mean, meantime
I'm just dreaming of tearing you apart
I'm in the details with the devil
No, the world can never get me on my level
I just got to get you out the cage
I'm a young lover's rage"

Photo of the Day: Yosemite Valley from Clouds Rest by kenkogler
Today's awesome Photo of the Day highlights what I think is one of the coolest views in Yosemite.
Today's awesome Photo of the Day highlights what I think is one of the coolest views in Yosemite.
A deal that may expand Yosemite by almost 800 acres making it the size of John Muir's original proposal for the park has stalled due to opposition from local Congressman Tom McClintock.
The national park service has finished a much needed upgrade and a new and redesigned entrance stations at the south entrance along Highway 41 from Fresno that should make getting into Yosemite that much easier.
Did you know that Tenaya Lake is a grate place to just sit and soak up some sun? There are rocks and beaches galore, perfect for drinking in a little sunshine.
Aaron Muir caught this great shot of this beautiful 1950s classic Ferrari in Yosemite. Man, THAT'S how you do Yosemite.
Check out the latest installment from the fine folks at Yosemite Nature Notes.
Check out this beautiful shot from our friend Tony Immoos. Be sure to read the story behind the shot.

A four-person United Nations rights panel has released a report citing evidence of war crimes by both sides in Syria. The report comes at a critical moment when the United States and Russia are working to determine the best course of action in Syria.
The report was created by the Commission of Inquiry, which was expanded last fall and is led by Paulo Pinheiro of Brazil. The report is to be presented to the United Nations Human Rights Council on Monday. It relies mostly on interviews with refugees and defectors, as the panel has not been allowed to enter Syria. The data in the report also comes from photographs, video and satellite imagery, and forensic and medical records analyzed by investigators, including former UN war crimes prosecutor Carla del Ponte.
The report is the result of months of investigations that began after the panel issued warnings in February that both sides were committing war crimes and that the violence was worsening as a result of increasing sectarianism and the influence of foreign fighters. At the time the warning was issued, the panel encouraged the United Nations Security Council to refer those responsible for the war crimes to the International Criminal Court.
According to the data cited by the rights panel, both the Assad regime and the anti-Assad rebels are guilty of murder, torture, rape, and indiscriminate attacks on civilians.
The accusations against both sides in the report should come as no surprise, as atrocities at the hands of the Assad regime have been documented for years, and despite media-driven propaganda, the anti-Assad rebels have been proven to have connections to al-Qaeda and have even claimed blame for monstrous crimes, such as eating body parts of its enemies.
In August 2012, Reuters wrote, "Recent news reports from the region have suggested that the influence and numbers of Islamist militants, some of them connected to al Qaeda or its affiliates, have been growing among Assad's opponents."

Film, Sheet and Paper Thickness Profile
SCAN_LASER 2010 – Micrometer Over Roller
Click here to download the data sheet.
SCAN_LASER 2010 provides on-line measurement of:
- Thickness / Gauge / Caliper Profile
- Cross and machine direction profiles
- Width
- Temperature profile (optional)
- Other process parameters such as line speed and plant status
The system can also provide feedback control for dies / haul off / calendar rolls / coating blades.
Materials Measured:
Scan_Laser 2010 can be used to measure any flexible material as it travels over a roller. Typical materials include:
|Coated fabric
|Plastic sheet and films
|Paper sheet - all grades
|Non woven fabrics
|Extruded glue
|Rubber sheet
|Packing materials
|Extruded sealant
|Safety flooring
|Tape products
|Foam sheet
Measurement Principle:
Dual-Sensor systems with eddy current and laser thru-beam: the eddy current sensor supplies a reference signal with respect to the roller which goes into the calculation of the actual thickness signal from the laser micrometer.
The systems use the principle of 'laser thru-beam' to measure the thickness of the material as it travels over the roller. This technique is independent of surface finish and can therefore be used for any type of material from clear films through to fabrics.
The thickness profile is provided by scanning the micrometer across the entire width of the product. An infra red sensor can also be added to the head for temperature profile measurement.
The thickness is measured relative to the roller. There are two measurement head options:
- Micrometer only: For applications that require an accuracy no greater than 20 microns, the use of an accurate roll (TIR Better than 10 microns) combined with a reference scan of the roller is the proposed solution.
- Combined micrometer and eddy sensor: See panel for description of operation.
This technique can be used for measurement resolution of <1 micron and
is therefore used for films and other very thin material.
Measurement Technical Data:
SCAN_LASER 2010 is supplied with one of two measurement heads.
|SL2500 – Micrometer Only
|Up to 30mm
|Better than 20 microns
|Better than 2 microns
|Option to add infra red sensor
|Option via encoder
|SL2600E – Micrometer and Eddy Sensor
|Up to 10mm
|Better than 5 microns
|Better than 1 microns
|Must be insulator
|Option to add infra red sensor
|Option via encoder
Sensor Head and Installation:
measurement head is mounted on a linear guide that is controlled via either a
stepper motor or AC motor depending on the application.
In normal operation the head scans back and forth across the material and provides a thickness profile. There is an option for the head to remain stationary for a period of time and measure the thickness at a single location as the material moves down the production line. This enables the investigation of effects along the length of the product.
The system can be installed on either an existing roller – if there is sufficient clearance as the material passes over the roller – or on a new dedicated roller.
Software and Systems:
SCAN_LASER is based on standard PCs with a touch screen and traffic light
annunciators. The software is configurable for the different types of measurement
and control. A typical user interface screen is shown below.
SCAN_LASER software provides:
- Real-time profile displays
- Traffic light annunciation for alarms including warnings prior to full alarms
- Database covering measurement tolerances for each product – for fast configuration when the product changes
- Logging across batch / shift / day as required
- SPC Charts
- Standard control algorithms

A little bit of the Bookcliffs fell off Friday morning.
If you saw a cloud of dust go up north of the airport around 9:30 a.m., it wasn't your imagination.
People in the area who saw the rockslide called us about it.
They say it wasn't a big slide but that there was a lot of dust in the air for a few minutes.
There are no reports of damage because of the rockfall.
It happened on BLM land north of the airport and west of Mount Garfield.

SICK, Inc: Positioning sensor
SICK's Inspector P30 Positioning Sensor offers a flexible method for part location and provides a precise positioning point of a known target.
The Inspector P series also adds functions for giving position information of irregular shaped objects, known as blob detection. The sensor's part positioning tool set reports the X, Y and rotation angle of the taught part over TCP/IP Ethernet communication or via 4 digital switching outputs. When working with known objects, the user can add in "grip regions" to verify that a part is unobstructed and can easily be picked by an automated picking system (robot). The "blob tool" allows users to work with objects that are less repeatable in shape, such as food picked from a belt. The user defines the criteria of the blob, including pixel intensity, area, number of blobs (min/max) and rotation angle. The P30 can then report the details of the blob to the user via TCP/IP. It is also possible to set a "pass region," meaning that a digital I/O signal can be triggered when a blob is in the correct position.

After editing inventory.crk in notepad, do I just run cracker.exe in the same folder as this hereticp.exe or do I have to pass it something in the command line?

There's also a key to suspend flight IIRC. Can be very useful given how short that powerup lasts.
entryway said:
If you use already cracked exe you need Undo changes, then edit inventory.crk as you want and Crack. If you want to apply it to hereticp.exe, then you need to rename it to heretic.exe or edit inventory.crk (HERETIC.EXE -> HERETICP.EXE)

One more question: if I record a demo with a cracked .exe, will it play back correctly on the uncracked version?
myk said:
Yes. The demo just records the functions used, it doesn't care exactly what keys are hit. Otherwise, demos would depend on our key configs.
Creaphis said:
Doesn't this powerup's timer keep ticking down to zero while flight is flight is suspended?
Gez said:
No, and that's the point.

First timer needs help
Help for alcohol abuse addiction alcoholics who want to stay sober
reply to first timer
I am in the same boat ... I need help and support. I'm too embarrassed to go to a meeting yet. Does this forum help??
The forum, just like anything else is only a tool. Tools only work and only help when we use the tool. We take the tools that are laid out in front of us and use them to help ourselves and to help others. It's kind of like working on a broken motor of a car. The difference is ... none of us are mechanics and none of us work on each other and none of us work on the other guys car. We simply show someone else what we did to fix our problem and then it's up to them if they want to try what we did to fix their problem we can show them how we did it. There's a lot of talk about AA being a "support group." I don't believe that it is. We learn to be self-supporting and support ourselves with our efforts. By being self-supporting it helps others who are trying to help themselves to become self-supporting.
I wish I would have had this forum when I was newly sober. It would have helped me.

Hi there,
New people often mention that they are too embarrased to go to a meeting. Remember everyone else there is at a meeting of alcoholics anonymous. They probably felt a bit embarrased too.
They are alcoholics too, and have to help each other (and you) to stay sober themselves.
I was the last to find out that I was alcoholic, seems my friends and family already knew!!!! Who'd have thought?

SarahSue wrote:I am ready to begin the steps and looking for support. Can someone please share some steps for a first timer? Thank you.
I was nervous ( we all were) as an out house mouse my first couple of meetings and sat near the exit door just in case. I got a Big Book and they sent a newcomers package around the room with names of the male members of the group to use as "temporary" sponsors. I prayed a lot which helped me tremendously because I couldn't stop by myself. They told me to go to 90 meetings in 90 days (I objected to this since it wasn't in the Big Book) but either was no relationship in the 1st year. They (older members) of the group said no major decisions in the first year as well. I listened to the members share to find a good sponsor who had what I wanted. I didn't know what I would want other than be peaceful and somewhat happy without drinking. They told me what they have is in the Big Book with all the promises in the BB.
I found a sponsor that I knew from before I got sober this time that stressed the steps. He was just what I needed. We got on our knees and did steps 1,2,& 3 right off the bat and told me to start my 4th at once. Then we did my 5th step together. Right from there we kneeled and did steps 6th & 7. I got my 8th step from the 4th step inventory and went to town making amends (With my sponsor's guidance). Today I work steps 10,11, & 12 and I'm available for newcomers, treasurer of my home group and try to help wherever I can. What a great life I have now. Thank God and the program of AA.
Good luck to you.

Another successful approach would be to start with "The Doctor's Opinion", and continue through the first 164 pages, and then page 181. I was instructed to read this through 10 times. Some of us are sicker than others.
New to this site
Hi, my name is Paul. I recently found this site and love it. I've been to about 10 meetings and really liked them. I stopped going and now i'm ready to give this another shot. A lot of what i've read so far really stuck out and related to me. However, one thing in particular and that was somebody mentioning how, "every time they start getting healthy again, they forget how unmanageable there life was and revert back to square one".. Thats exactly what happens with me. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Las Vegas, NV (KTNV) -- Local school leaders were given a VIP tour of the College of Southern Nevada's Cheyenne Campus on Friday.
North Las Vegas Mayor John Lee showed several high school principals around the campus.
The tour was an extension of an earlier School Board Trustee meeting with the Chamber of Commerce. That's where Lee expressed the importance of higher education available to local students.
The CSN Cheyenne Campus has more than 12,000 students and offers more than 1,100 courses.

When I was 12 my family moved to South Carolina, my mother's hometown. For the first time in my life I got to see my aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents and other extended family almost every day instead of just on the holidays. I loooved it. But even at the age of 12 I knew my time in South Carolina was temporary. I didn't like the slow-moving, country lifestyle. Sure, it's fun for vacation, but long-term.... not my thing. So I worked hard and went to college in DC, traveled across the US during the summer (Chicago, Philly, LA, New Orleans, Minneapolis, etc), and then moved to Los Angeles when I graduated. (Before landing right back in DC).
What does this mean? That everyone in a busy metropolis could find happiness if they left the urban sprawl? Not exactly. Anyone that knows me (or reads my blog) knows I love it here and have no plans of heading anywhere further South, especially not South Carolina. But living in DC and traveling to other cities/countries, is what makes me happy. I can't project that onto others.

When he reached it, he found nothing but leaves, because it was not the season for figs. 14 Then he said to the tree, "May no one ever eat fruit from you again."

Continuing our series on those one-of-a-kind lightbulb moments where businesses are born, this week we're featuring Happy Days Publishing. Founded by Gillian Hesketh, the business produces creative resources for organisations that support people going through difficult times.
Gillian has always had a love of creative processes, and a yearning to become a writer. Her journey towards Happy Days Publishing began when she signed up for a degree and then a Masters degree in English language, literature and writing, alongside caring for her sons, her mother and volunteering too!
During her Masters degree, she studied how creative writing and drawing can help people that are going through traumatic times to access and understand their emotions. Gillian excelled in this area, and found it was something she was passionate about, so she threw herself into research.
A little while later, she was invited to a bereavement workshop to share some of her findings with practitioners working in the field. "From my research, I developed some carefully themed, softly coloured worksheets and activity pages to help young people write, draw and express their emotions." Gillian explained. The practitioners were impressed with her work, and requested samples.
But it wasn't until five years later that Gillian's real Eureka Moment struck. During a voluntary editing post for a children's hospice, the CEO of a carers' support centre happened to see her bereavement worksheets. "She immediately commissioned me to write a worksheet programme for their team of support workers." Gillian said. "This is when I realised my work could be used to really help people who may be experiencing difficulties in life." Eureka!
Since Gillian's lightbulb moment, Happy Days Publishing has gone from strength to strength. Her resources have grown into full programmes of activity pages that help people understand and cope with their feelings through drawing and writing. They cover topics like dementia, bullying, self-harm, motivation and many more.
But as with all start-ups, Gillian faced her fair share of teething problems: "When my work started to become more well-known, promotional costs began to increase. I needed help, but there was no money for staff."
Gillian realised she needed to be more resourceful: "I turned my study into an office. I keep expenses low at all times. I attend fairs and low-key exhibitions to meet frontline workers who can see, touch and talk about the range of materials and take my product catalogue back to their care homes, hospitals and schools."
A near catastrophe at the manufacturing stage helped Gillian learn the importance of being diligent: "I was so excited about the first print run that I didn't edit the proof correctly and had to pay for a total reprint. But I explained the situation to the printers and they kindly offered to do it for 50% of the cost." Disaster averted!
Gillian would advise any other would-be start-ups to keep the customer in mind at all times: "I found it highly important to really listen to my clients to ensure I provide a product that's exactly what they want and above their expectations. Be professional, friendly and approachable – roll up your sleeves to get to the basis of client needs and requirements."
What an incredible journey Gillian has been on. Despite the ups and downs, she's managed to set-up a successful business that she's passionate about (and that helps people going through difficult times too).

[On Thursday, April 14, Open Space and Art Practical hosted the second of three conversations organized loosely around issues and themes raised by Stephanie Syjuco's multiartist project Shadowshop, on view now. Today we present three responses to that evening. Do join us for the last evening of discussion on Thursday, May 12. Please welcome poet and critic Jasper Bernes.]
The second Shoptalk seemed to run aground, rather quickly, on the question of whether Shadowshop "devalued" art and artists by asking them to submit to various mercantile (and mercenary) constraints. People in the room espoused what seemed to me a surprisingly expansive sense of the artist's vocation, and were quick to produce hoary notions about the specialness or freedom of art. Which is fine, I guess. Except that this freedom turned out to mean not freedom from mercenary concerns but participation in a very special market — the gallery system — whose chief distinguishing feature is that it allows ev...

Health Insurance Quotes
Consumers shouldn't be blue over Blues consolidation, study says
Although a market that favors consolidation may cause the number of Blue Cross and Blue Shield plans to dwindle from today's high of 47 down to 20 or 25 over the next five years, consumers shouldn't be alarmed, according to a Conning & Co. study.
|The Blues overall generated a "paltry" 0.8 percent profit margin in 1999, compared to the 2.5 percent profit margin of the Blues that were publicly traded.
The study, published March 13, 2001, reports that many of the Blue Cross and Blue Shield plans, known as the Blues, lack adequate access to capital to compete with their bigger non-Blue rivals. These mostly nonprofit Blues will be forced to merge with other Blues plans or become publicly traded stock companies to even the market's playing field that currently favors large for-profit insurers.
For example, the for-profit Anthem has merged with Blue Cross and Blue Shield HMOs in Connecticut, Indiana, Kentucky, and Ohio, and is currently exploring conversion from a mutual insurance company to a publicly traded stock company.
"There will likely be a knee-jerk reaction that the Blues are selling out to become for-profit entities, especially since they've historically been nonprofits," says Conning Vice President Samuel Levitt, the study's author. "But the economic realities of health care leave them no choice. Having a competitive market is good for the consumer in the long run."
"Though this trusted brand attracts consumers who are uneasy with managed care, increasing enrollments appear to have not been enough to offset the meager profit margins among the Blues overall," Levitt says. "To remain competitive, the Blues will need to restructure and consolidate and many will test the public markets." The result, says Levitt, will likely bode well for consumers if these moves improve the Blues' overall financial strength.
But consumer advocacy groups warn that studies like these are self-serving to the insurance industry and that the consolidation trend will ultimately spell disaster for consumers. "Studies like these drive the parade [of consumers] to the wolf," says Jamie Court, a spokesperson with the Foundation of Taxpayer & Consumer Rights. "All the pernicious problems of managed care can be traced back to health insurers becoming for-profits. Nonprofits can compete if they don't join the race for the bottom with the for-profits that slash costs and don't maintain quality. Consumers will pay more for a higher-quality product."
Vicious cycle
The study concludes that meager profits have created a "vicious cycle" that will be increasingly difficult for the Blues to overcome. According to Levitt, low profit margins:
- Make it more costly for the Blues to obtain the new capital they need to plow back into their businesses.
- Are further reduced because a lion's share of any surplus is held back to satisfy the insurance industry's reserve requirements.
- Make it difficult to compete with companies with larger profit margins because these companies have used their advantage to obtain capital to invest heavily in targeted acquisitions, product development, and new technologies to improve efficiency and customer service. "In today's market, scale and efficiency matter," Levitt says.
Conning & Co. located in Hartford, Conn., is a subsidiary of Conning Corp., which provides asset management services and research to insurance companies.

Twitter Will Know Where You Are... Soon
Yesterday I wrote about how Twitter and other social networking tools could really change the world. One tool that should help spur that along is geotagged Tweets that place people's comments in geographic context. Now more details on geoTweeting has emerged.
Geolocation could really be Twitter's killer feature...and it was supposed to launch yesterday at the Twitter conference currently underway in L.A. It didn't surface, due to finalization of a few details, but over at Smarterwear Gina Trapani's gathered lots of data on the tech that was revealed by Twitter's platform lead Ryan Sarver.
It's a precise latitude and longitude system only—so if you choose to geotag your Tweets you'll not be able to say you're "somewhere" in New York. Twitter may chose to display the location as something like district/city rather than precise "corner of 4th and so-and-so" but your exact geolocation is behind this, and will be stored at Twitter.
The big take-away is that Twitter's really really concerned with user privacy. Though it will store your location data, it's an opt-in service via Twitter's homepage account settings screen only. And your geoTweets will only be stored for 14 days—after that time they are physically deleted from Twitter's servers. This is both to protect your security (we're thinking for situations like cyber-stalking), and to prevent Twitter from being the target of subpoenas for user data. Eventually it will keep the information permanently, since it'll certainly represent a valuable data pool for market research (and, indeed, academic research). But for the same privacy reasons it'll be made fuzzy in some way—perhaps by being anonymized, or degrading the exactitude of coordinates.

@Arun---mentioned trendsmap yesterday :) Doesn't it only use your single-location home base as included on your Twitter home page?
@Aly-Khan. I think that's why Twitter's being super-careful with the data. And remember--it's opt-in only: You have to choose to geographically locate your Tweets. And you can do so on a tweet-by-tweet basis too.
@Erik. Sounds like the same kind of questions "and people want to read my 140-character thoughts on blah why?" or "I want to e-befriend my old school mates and play virtual scrabble with them why?" that faced Facebook and Twitter in their entirety. Geotagged Tweets will definitely become important--and most likely for emerging trends that we can't quite imagine yet.
and I want people to know exactly where I am all the time why?
I did try to respond to your piece from yesterday but I got Twistaged. I think your Article was spot on about the revolutionairy nature of both Twitter and other Uber Platforms. They are very recent Phenomena and very disjunctive. In particular, they are dynamically re calibrating the relationship between those who exercise Power and those on whose behalf they exercise it. Gullivers Travels is for me the best example. The Citizen was like the Lilliputians, single fragmented Voices and powerless in the face of the State that was Gulliver. These Platforms have allowed lone Voices to conjoin and in many ways Roar. The Platforms have yet to fully flex their muscles.
Your Piece today is entirely interesting but surely the risk is that A government that is not friendly to some of its Citizens will be easily able to track down those it does not care for. I think in that regard, Twitter need to be very careful because anything damaging on that side will impair the Franchise.

Internet in Business mentor Jakob Nielsen responds:
Eventually that will happen, although in the immediate future, privacy concerns will keep people skeptical about using the Internet. Over the long term, a site's reputation will be based on how well it treats its users, not on how well marketed it is. In my opinion, that will happen with the rise of independent online verification bureaus, or what I call "reputation managers." These will be independent, Web-based "Better Business Bureaus" that evaluate Web sites based on the experiences of customers who use them. Once that happens, e-commerce will have a lot more credibility than it does today.

I'm a little late to the party but here's the latest on the injury-riddled Wolves:
The Minnesota Timberwolves have agreed to terms with free-agent forward Josh Howard, according to league sources.
Howard will add depth to the injury-ravaged Wolves, who lost Chase Budinger to injury earlier this week. Forward Kevin Love, guards Ricky Rubio,J.J. Barea and Brandon Roy also are sidelined with injuries.
Howard, a nine-year veteran, will receive a one-year deal for the veteran's minimum. He is expected to fly to Minnesota for his physical Thursday.
In order to make room for the move, the Wolves had to waive guard Will Conroy. Conroy appeared in four games this season, only hitting one free throw for his only point of the season.
Back to the Howard move, it was certainly much-needed. The injury bug has bitten so badly, the depth at small forward and the front court have suffered. At one point in last night's game against the Charlotte Bobcats, Adelman trotted a lineup of Conroy-Lee-Shved-Cunningham-Amundson. Yikes. And without Budinger now, Kirilenko has been forced to play in long stretches, which adds up quickly (He's played 42, 44, and 44 minutes the last three games). If healthy — a big "IF" — Howard can provide Kirilenko rest more than anything. He's not a fantastic shooter, he's definitely lost a stop with age. All he needs to do is fill the void that Budinger left to a certain degree so that Lee or Shved don't have to play the small forward spot ever again. Ever.

By Christopher's Original Formulas6 Reviews
Expiration Date:?Oct 2019
Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.
Shipping Weight:?0.5 lbs (0.23 kg)
Shipping Weight
The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

Wine Tasting and Painting Perfect Match
Wine Tasting-Painting Parties have officially come to Ventura!
Have you wanted to try painting, but fear not knowing what to do first or think you want to learn but not sure where to start? The girls at Red Brick Gallery have broken the ice for over 50 first time artists in the past month with their new Wine Tasting-Painting Parties at Red Brick Gallery in Downtown Ventura. You will get back in touch with your creative side, like when you were a kid and loved to finger paint, but now as a grown up you can add a little wine for a fun adventure in art.
Join the girls at Red Brick Gallery for a new and unique social event with an artistic twist, Wine Tasting-Painting Parties on the first and third Friday of every month from 6-8:30pm. You'll enjoy "uncorking" your creative spirits as the pleasurable combinations of wine, painting and fun come together to create an incredible evening you will want to repeat over and over again.
Come alone or invite your friends. Wine, paint, canvas, aprons and brushes all provided all for only $39. This entertaining night out provides an upbeat, casual yet creative atmosphere where Red Brick Gallery's experienced and enthusiastic resident artists will guide you step by step through the process of recreating the party's featured painting.
Wine is catered by a variety of Central California Coast Wineries, including Labyrinth Winery a new addition to Downtown Ventura along with a variety of other known wines. http://www.labyrinthwine.com/
This party isn't about creating the perfect piece of art nor is it a serious art lesson, it is about exploring your imagination and having a fun-filled evening as you enjoy fine wine and get a peek into your inner creative artist.

Myoffeine is the ultimate supplement that they claim could be the strongest fat burner for men. Reportedly, Myoffeine will finally help you to burn more fat, build more muscle, boost natural testosterone for health and the look of it, and with Myoffeine, you will get the best fat burner for men ever created.
So how does product work?
Myoffeine plays a huge part in just about everything. It has powerful testosterone boosters, automatically making it one of the most powerful fat burners for men if they use them right. They also have powerful fat burners, and ultimately speaking, Myoffeine actually has the right stuff to be one of the best fat burners for men by giving you a complete approach.
Tribulus terrestis-tribulus terrestis has been known as one of the most powerful natural testosterone boosters on the market. It has been known to burn fat, build muscle, and provide many of the other generalized benefits of testosterone levels. So obviously, it's a clear choice for use in the best diet pill for men.
L-glutamine-a natural amino acid, this has been used to feed muscles, but not build them or promote weight loss
L-arginine-a natural amino acid, this has been used to feed muscles, but not build them or promote weight loss
Catuaba-can contain yohimbine. It's a sexual stimulant, some have said it increases testosterone. But yohimbine even in extremely small amounts has been known to cause heart attacks, stroke, renal failure, and kidney damage.
Caffeine anhydrous-a powerful form of caffeine, anhydrous means without water. It has been shown to produce a powerful thermogenic effect in the body if used in the right amounts. However, it also comes with the classic side effects of caffeine.
Citrus aurantium-a formula including the active ingredient known as synephrine, this has been pushed as the alternative to ephedra. However, in this diluted form, you don't necessarily get the powerful effects you are looking for. It would depend in part on the concentration of synephrine actually in the ingredient listing
Cinnamon-a natural blood sugar regulator, it does not promote weight loss.
Myoffeine Side Effects
Myoffeine side effects include headaches, jitteriness, nervousness, irritability, insomnia, and an elevated heartbeat. To learn more about Myoffeine go to www.Myoffeine.com.

Top 50 Northern Irish Songs Of AU's Lifetime
Five-and-a-bit years and 49 issues ago, AU launched with a mission to bring you the best, most exciting music and generally cool stuff from Northern Ireland and beyond, with the emphasis on celebrating the local on an equal footing with the international. And while the mag has grown physically – this month marking the first 100- page issue – and metaphorically, with circulation throughout Ireland and further afield, what drives us to produce the bundle of paper you are now holding has not changed.?For our 50th issue, we decided to do something a bit special and celebrate the Northern Irish music that has soundtracked our lives and yours since we started. Polling a host of notables – bands, promoters, journalists, industry insiders – and more importantly you, the fans, we've arrived at a glorious celebration of the journey Northern Irish music has made in a few short years. Enjoy it, and here's to the next 50.
No. 45 - ASIWYFA - "I Capture Castles."
How about this for an introduction to a band? The first track on ASIWYFA's stellar mini-album 'This Is Our Machine And Nothing Can Stop It' captures the post rock four-piece doing what they do best – sucking you in with a pretty guitar figure before repeatedly blowing you away with the majesty of the riffs and the seismic rhythm section. A true epic, and one of many in the band's extraordinary arsenal. CJ
N0.42 - Jetplane Landing - "Why Do They Never Play Les Savy Fav On The Radio?"
Jetplane Landing raised everybody's eyebrows when they dropped their third record 'Backlash Cop'. Essentially a funk concept album, it marked a change in direction that was beyond prediction. This highlight marries a rapinflected vocal hook, RATM style-rockingness and verses in the style of Joni Mitchell to create a track that sounds insane on paper yet works brilliantly. Totally inspired. JT
No.41 - ASIWYFA - "THESEriotsAREjustTHEbeginning"
Think of "These Riots Are Just The Beginning" as an instrumental mindbender of monumental proportions. Unfurling wave after wave of accomplished rhythms, it smothers the listener in complex arrangements and unfeasibly tough chord progressions. A singer is unnecessary when the overarching voice of the music alone speaks so persuasively of angst and determination, of melancholy and joy and most of all, of musical individuality. KMcC
"For me, "These Riots Are Just The Beginning" is a perfect example of how And So I Watch You From Afar have demolished the conventions of instrumental music. It's a short, sharp, shock to the system. Every second explodes with the sheer urgency of being alive! Like their phenomenal live shows, 'These Riots...' rages like a forest fire, burning with euphoria and melancholy – a soundtrack of the brightest hope in the darkest times!"?Stephen McCauley,?Presenter of Electric Mainline, BBC Radio Foyle
No.31 - Jetplane Landing - "Brave Gravity "
Sounding a bit like a child's nursery rhyme (albeit recited by Bruce Dickinson), "Brave Gravity" is probably Jetplane Landing's poppiest moment in a career that has spanned almost a decade. Fusing a catchy melody with swirling guitars, the tune is a forgotten gem by an often overlooked band, and pulls off the trick of sounding aggressive and gentle all at the same time with Paul Daniels-like ease. EMcF
No.30 - Fighting With Wire - "Strength In Numbers"
Packing more punch than a Rocky boxset, Derry's Fighting With Wire have had a dream 2008 so far. Long the trio's call to arms in the live arena, this track's melodic verses and massive, stop-start central riff made it a firm favourite with their burgeoning fanbase. A definitive recording of "Strength In Numbers" was finally nailed on this year's splendid debut opus, 'Man Vs Monster', which has seen the band touring frantically and being picked up by the mighty Atlantic Records. Next stop: America, which will no doubt see the FWW evangelists boost their congregation further. Strength in numbers, indeed. LG
No.29 - Fighting With Wire - "After The Show"
Not appearing on the UK version of 'Man Vs. Monster', and only occasionally making it into the FWW live set, the fact that this song featured in this list is testament to just how hooky it is. Its appearancecan also possibly be attributed to the fact that it was one of the songs recorded as a live session track for BBC Radio Ulster's Across The Line show. The songs from this session made it into circulation in CD form, getting passed around like nobody's business and becoming many people's favourite tracks in the process. God bless the BBC. JT
No.26 - Jeptplane Landing - "Calculate The Risk"
'Zero For Conduct' may have introduced Jetplane to the world, but it was second full-length 'Once Like A Spark' which truly made everyone sit up and take notice. Tighter, more fully realised and much, much louder, it remains many fans' favourite to this day. Album highlight "Calculate The Risk" is a perfect example of the band's power and grasp of dynamics; it's an angry, serrated beast of a track, but several sweet, melodic breakdowns serve to make the stunning, Fugazi-esque posthardcore grooves and strident vocals hit all the harder. LG
"It's hard to believe that five years have passed since Jetplane Landing released "Calculate the Risk", the first single from their second album. The album itself ('Once Like a Spark') is without a doubt one of my favourites ever, and that's not just locally. 'Calculate the Risk' definitely has to be one of the stand-out tracks from OLAS, mostly due to the energy generated from just one song which is not only unreal, but very exciting. 'Calculate The Risk' is full of pure aggression and as soon as the chorus kicks in... bang - game over. It's like taking a full-on punch in the face. Last year, they released their latest album, Backlash Cop which I thoroughly enjoyed, but I don't think they will ever top the riffs, melody, noise and power of Once Like a Spark and the unbelievable 'Calculate the Risk'."?Jonny 'Goatboy' Reid, JPL Superfan
No.10 - ASIWYFA - "The Voiceless"
The deeply resonant highlight of the north coast instrumentalists' breakthrough EP commences with a lone guitar picking out a lyrical, echoing figure, which becomes the anchor for the first half of the track. As it rolls by, the drums pick up a martial beat, some melodic bass creeps in and the second guitar begins to soar as the song grows in intensity. Then everything drops away to leave just the original guitar, which has changed direction to allow for the slow, spiralling build towards a climax that never actually arrives. This unrealised tension is the real genius here; what could have ended in post-rock cliché actually becomes a work of rare, honest beauty. There's even better to come from this exciting group, but "The Voiceless" marks the beginning of something special. LG
No.8 - Fighting With Wire - "Everyone Needs A Nemesis"
The sonic tour de force that is "Everyone Needs A Nemesis" is Fighting With Wire's signature track. The song, which is as catchy as chlamydia during Freshers' Week, features a gaggle of hooks that we're sure Dave Grohl would sell his granny for, and has also won them an army of celebrity admirers including Zane Lowe and Steve Lamacq. 'Nemesis' is a masterclass in riffology and rocks out with the best of them over the course of three minutes. Possibly FWW's most incendiary moment to date, the anthemic track looks set to join Stiff Little Finger's "Suspect Device" and Therapy?'s "Screamager" as one of the greatest songs of the blank generation. EMcF
No.5 - Oppenheimer - "Saturday Looks Bad To Me"
It's a shock to be reminded that this song is a mere 2:45 long. In Oppenheimer world, that counts as 'epic'. "Saturday Looks Bad To Me" throws the kitchen sink at the idea of a perfect indie-pop set-closer, and it does it with all the wide-eyed wonder, energy and enthusiasm Rocky and Shaun can muster. For the avoidance of doubt, that's a hell of a lot more than just about any other band you care to mention. Any time it is played live, the room is filled with grins as wide as the Lagan, but then that's what happens when an irresistible melody, killer chorus and hedonistic lyric rub up against a vocoder, 'ba ba bada' backing vocals, handclap breakdown and, yes, guitar solo. It's ridiculous, it probably shouldn't work, but it's carried off with aplomb. But that's Oppenheimer for you. CJ
No.2 - Oppenheimer - "Breakfast In NYC"
Much of Oppenheimer's success can be traced back to the popularity of "Breakfast In NYC". Its distinctive, chiming intro is instantly recognisable, and guaranteed to work a crowd into a frenzy. Fat synths and a simple, direct beat join Shaun's vocals for the verse before the blissful harmonies kick in for that wide-eyed, ecstatic chorus. Pure pop perfection, it's one of those songs you can't help but sing from start to finish. Norn Iron has a long and distinguished history of producing great electro-indie pop acts. Actually, no it doesn't, but Oppenheimer have blazed a trail that others are sure to follow. With two fantastic albums under their belts, a growing worldwide fanbase and an enviable record for sneaking tracks on to hit US TV shows like Ugly Betty and Gossip Girl, their star is firmly in the ascendant. LG
"Oppenheimer are an absolute breath of fresh air– somehow managing to establish a reputation for credibility to match any of their peers whilst crafting songs of infuriating catchiness. It's great to see a 'leftfield indie' band that doesn't view pop as a dirty word and who realize that dedication, hard work and professionalism are essential to establishing an international career in this business. 'Breakfast In NYC' is a gem – lyrically, melodically and structurally. When you combine this with Rocky O'Reilly's innate ear for studio production – you get a little bit of pure magic. US TV music synch specialists have already recognized Oppenheimer's worth – it's about time UK radio woke up and smelt the coffee."?Ross Graham, CEO, NIMIC
No.1 - LaFaro - "Tuppenny Nudger"
For a long time, the only LaFaro songs that anyone had heard in recorded form were live favourites "Scott" and "Climate". They were long, awkward beasts, with time changes, build and release and some utterly crushing riffs, invoking immediate comparisons to the likes of Shellac and The Jesus Lizard. Then, in 2006, new songs were introduced into the band's live set that would form the basis of their self-titled debut EP. Something had changed; they were more direct than before. The band was going for your throat and from the outset, one in particular stood out. We didn't yet know its name, but that bludgeoning, almost comically simple riff would stick in your head for days, even weeks, after the gig. It was as if the spirit of Motörhead had entered frontman Jonny Black – no messing, LaFaro was now a balls-out rock band, and "Tuppenny Nudger" remains their crowning glory.
The song ended up as the lead track on the EP, released late in 2006, and it has been a fixture of the live set ever since, as well as racking up over 21,000 plays on MySpace and even being remixed by Skibunny DJs. When they headlined the Club AU at Lavery's in Belfast in September, the first few bars of the song were greeted by delighted whoops, cheers and an outbreak of moshing, while that apparently nonsensical chorus was roared along to by the faithful.
"It's named after a place in Portstewart, Caesar's Amusement Arcade," recalls Jonny when we grab him afterwards. "It's something an old bastard used to say to us. We were just hanging around, smoking fags and waiting to score hash, and he'd shout at us: 'No pay, no play. No play, no stay.'"
So now you know. As it turns out, the song was a bit of an accident, as words from a song in Jonny's acoustic repertoire ended up being introduced to something he knocked out on the guitar in an idle moment in the studio.
"I'm not going to lie to you, it was written in 10 minutes,"he laughs."We went in to record some other songs, and we did a couple that didn't turn out too good, but it was pretty much done there and then. The words, I'd played acoustically for a wee bit before that – they'd been written as another song, and they just kind of fitted well. It's just two riffs! That's it."
It sounds so simple put like that, but then so much of the best music is. And it might seem insane that this band who have released the sum total of one EP, one split single and a track on a compilation in over four years together have topped this poll, but it just goes to show the esteem in whichLaFaro are held. They are now stalwarts of the local scene, acting as mentors to young bucks like And So I Watch You From Afar and Panama Kings. And with a reinvigorated line-up since founding bassist Anna Fitzsimmons was replaced by Herb Magee and second guitarist Dave Magee was added, it seems that those years of occasional bouts of gigging and precious few recordings may finally give way to bigger things. If they do, you can bet that "Tuppenny Nudger" will continue to be the band's calling card. Which is fine by Jonny.
"It's catchy, like! I'm really happy that people actually dig it, because it was written as kind of a joke."And will you ever get sick of playing it? "No, it's fun! It's complete cheese. I'll never get sick of it." Chris Jones

text: Home > Medical > Diseases Updated 19 May 2015 Hair loss for men Alopecia is a condition affecting hair follicles, resulting in discrete areas of hair loss. 0 What is alopecia?The average person sheds more than a hundred hairs per day. This is no real cause for concern, as long as your body is replenishing these losses. When hair loss begins to exceed these thresholds, then it is time to worry. Alopecia is a chronic inflammatory condition affecting hair follicles, resulting in discrete areas of hair loss. The separate areas may coalesce to form larger areas. The most commonly affected site is the scalp, but in rare cases the whole body, including pubic hair, may be affected. This is called alopecia universalis.Alopecia occurs in approximately one per 1000 persons, affecting men and women equally. Most patients are below the age of 30 at the outset. The majority of cases resolve spontaneously, though recurrence is common.Male pattern baldness, the most common form of alopecia, has been the source of emotional distress for men over the centuries.Man's obsession with hair dates back to 3500 BC. From ancient biblical times to the Roman period, the specter of male pattern baldness has reared its ugly head. Julius Caesar was preoccupied with his hair loss and grew his hair long in the back and combed it all forward. He also wore laurel wreaths to camouflage his baldness.Hippocrates, the father of Medicine made a potion for hair loss consisting of opium, horseradish, pigeon droppings, beetroot; spices and many other exotic ingredients (it didn't work).He observed that eunuchs (sexually immature men) never became bald. 2400 years later, researchers at Duke's University showed the association between the male hormone testosterone and male pattern baldness.Baldness affects the scalp in a "horse shoe" pattern on the top of the head. In the majority of cases, the sides of the head is never lost. In approximately 1-2% of cases, the condition is spread to the entire scalp (called alopecia totalis). What causes baldness?There is no single definite-known cause for alopecia, but the most accepted explanation is that it is an auto-immune condition. Antibodies to hair follicles are frequently present in affected persons: these attack and temporarily damage the follicles, preventing further hair growth.There is an association with other auto-immune diseases, such as thryoiditis, vitiligo and pernicious anaemia.Up to 20% of patients have a family history of alopecia, which suggests a genetic predisposition. You may even have this tendency despite the fact that your parents have full heads of hair - this is due to a process known as spontaneous mutation, whereby the genetic information changes at conception.Regardless of the genetic or auto-immune status, it is possible that a triggering event is required to initiate the episode of alopecia. Trigger factors which have been proposed include: drugsvaccinationinfectionsburnsradiation therapysurgeryHow is it diagnosed?The diagnosis is primarily clinical, that is, based on findings at examining the patient. The hairless patches are typically painless, smooth and circular, with short broken hairs around the edges. The nails may also be involved, with roughening and pitting. Rarely, the eye may be affected. Biopsy of affected sites is rarely needed. Blood tests may be done to establish whether there are any underlying auto-immune conditions that may have precipitated alopecia and which might need to be treated.How is it treated? Most patients do not require treatment, as up to 80 percent who have limited alopecia will have spontaneous hair regrowth over several months. A minority may take several years to return to normal, and in some patients the hair never regrows. The prognosis is worse for patients with large areas of hair loss. Many patients will also experience relapses.Myths regarding male pattern balding such as a decrease in blood flow, or a tight scalp, clogged or blocked pores, protein build-up, wearing of caps and hats no longer hold any truth.Because male pattern baldness is not due to a decrease in blood flow, advertising claiming to increase blood flow in the scalp by expensive laser therapy cannot be effective.MedicationProducts that claim to stop hair loss have been around almost as long as concern about hair loss. Only two medical treatments have FDA-approval:Finasteride 1mg oral tablet (brand name Finpecia) Finasteride is an oral tablet, available only with a prescription, and is taken once daily. Its mode of action is well understood thanks to research that documented the hormonal cause of hair loss in androgenetic alopecia. Finasteride inhibits the enzyme that converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in the follicle.Finasteride has proven to be highly effective in clinical trials and in medical practice for slowing hair loss in almost all men and for reversing hair miniturisation in some men. It can be used alone or in conjunction with other hair loss treatments, including surgery.AdvantagesConvenient pill form administration - one pill taken once a day.Effective in most men - the vast majority of men using finasteride experience some benefit from its use.Stops hair loss from progressing.Beneficial side effects such as the shrinking of the prostate gland in men susceptible to an enlarged prostate.DisadvantagesFinasteride is not a cure for hair loss. It will only work over the long term if you continue taking it. If you stop taking finasteride, you will likely lose any hair you have gained within 12 months of stopping treatments.Finasteride is not approved for use by women.May cause sexual side effects such as decreased sexual desire(less than 0.5% decrease).Finasteride is only available by prescription.Minoxidil (brand name Regaine®)Minoxidil is available over-the-counter and applied topically to the scalp skin in areas of hair loss. Minoxidil is available in SA in only the 2% strength. The 5% strength, which is only available when made up by a pharmacist to a doctor's prescription, has been shown to be more effective in both men and women in slowing hair loss and promoting new hair growth.... unfortunately the 5% solution also has a significantly higher incidence of side-effects(such as contact dermatitus and other allergic reactions). Results of minoxidil's effectiveness in slowing or halting hair loss to some degree in men have ranged from 50% to 80% of men treated.Only about 20% of patients have reported new hair growth. Minoxidil is ineffective for some men and women who continue to lose hair.While it is available without prescription it is used most effectively in a physician-guided program of hair restoration, after the cause of hair loss has been diagnosed. Minoxidil's mode of action is not completely understood. It appears to prolong the anagen (growth) phase of the hair follicle.SurgeryHair transplantation surgery involves the relocation of individual micro and mini follicular units from the sides of the head (donor area), which are not affected by the hair-loss process, into the area of bald skin (the recipient site).The hair taken from the donor area will continue to grow and not fall out as a result of pattern baldness because this hair in this area is not sensitive to the male hormone DHT.Today's hair transplantation owes its success to the fact that the transplanted hair follicles (roots moved from their original location to another area) behave in the same way as they did in their original site. For example, even in the most advanced cases of male pattern baldness, a horseshoe-shaped fringe of hair persists. Hair follicles moved from this hairy fringe to the bald area on your scalp will take root and grow. "Lateral" slit technologyTo best understand this concept one needs to look at the way in which hair grows in nature. It can be seen that rather than being arranged in random fashion, the follicular units are arranged in one of several patterns. Similarly the individual follicles within a follicular unit frequently are in set patterns. The follicles appear to be lined up alongside of one another in a plane perpendicular to the direction of hair growth.This arrangement enhances the area of scalp covered by the follicles as opposed to being arranged in random fashion or one follicle behind the other. In practice there are many other advantages to the Lateral Slit technique.The follicular units often grow in lines perpendicular to the direction of hair growth. This optimises scalp coverage and avoids redundancy of coverage, which will occur if the follicular units were arranged randomly or in a plane parallel to the direction of hair growth. Other advantages of the Lateral Slit Technique include precise control of graft angulations relative to underlying scalp tissue. It also only requires local anaesthesia.The incisions made by the Lateral Slit Technique are shallower than other incisions, thereby reducing trauma to the critical blood vessels deeper in the scalp. When grafts are placed in recipient sites in a sagital fashion, the outward pressure exerted by each follicular unit and the pressures exerted by neighbouring follicular units are cumulative. This build-up of pressure within the scalp limits the number of follicular units that can be safely placed in a given area without risking compression or popping.When the grafts are placed in lateral slits, there is free transmission of pressure to the outer surface of the scalp and the pressures of neighbouring follicular units is not cumulative.Through extensive research and state-of-the-art developments in technique and instrumentation, hair transplantation has become a highly sophisticated, yet relatively simple procedure. Three to four months later the transplanted follicles begin to grow. This hair will need to be cut, washed and styled. It will never fall out since it originates from the donor area on the sides of the scalp.Bear in mind that hair loss is a lifelong process and further procedures may be necessary to fill in ongoing hair loss. The transplanted hair, however, will never fall out.

NEW YORK (AP) — No. 1 LSU and No. 2 Alabama have locked in their spots for the biggest regular-season game in Southeastern Conference history.
AP Top 25: OSU #3, OU #11 in new poll
The Tigers and Crimson Tide held the first two spots in The Associated Press Top 25 released Sunday after huge victories a day earlier. With both heading into an off week, LSU and Alabama are virtually assured of meeting on Nov. 5 in Tuscaloosa as the top two teams in the country.
It'll be the second 1 vs. 2 matchup involving SEC teams, but the first time came in the conference championship game.
Oklahoma, the preseason No. 1, dropped eight spots to No. 11 after its first loss of the season. The Sooners fell 41-38 to Texas Tech on Saturday night, snapping a 39-game home winning streak. The Red Raiders moved into the ranking for the first time this season at No. 19.
Wisconsin also dropped eight spots after its first loss of the season, falling to No. 12 following a 37-31 loss to Michigan State on the final play of the game. The Spartans moved up six spots to No. 9.
LSU received 49 first-place votes from the media panel. Alabama got nine and No. 5 Boise State had one.
Oklahoma State is No. 3, followed by fellow unbeatens Stanford, Boise State and Clemson. The Cowboys have their best ranking since Nov. 19, 1984, when they were also No. 3.
No. 6 Clemson has its highest ranking since 2000, when the Tigers spent four weeks at No. 5.
No. 7 Oregon, Michigan State, Arkansas and undefeated Kansas State round out the top 10.
