Conversion Field
this wiki
A Conversion Field is a moderately powerful gravitic energy shield that surrounds the user who wears a Conversion Field emitter as a form of personal protection. The field's effect is to convert the kinetic energy of an impact into harmless light. When the field stops a shot, a blinding flash of light is produced as the energetic conversion occurs. The Conversion Field is normally used by important members of the Ecclesiarchy, Administratum or powerful Imperial Guard general officers as a last line of protection, particularly against assassination. The most infamous person in Imperial history who made use of a Conversion Field was the mad Ecclesiarch and High Lord of the Administratum, Goge Vandire, who used a Conversion Field to trick the Daughters of the Emperor (now known as the Sisters of Battle) into believing that he was the embodiment of the Emperor's divine will. Vandire ordered his bodyguards to shoot him, to prove he was blessed by the Emperor's holy protection and they reluctantly agreed. Unknown to both the Daughters of the Emperor and the bodyguard was that Vandire was wearing a Conversion Field and the field absorbed the laser shots that might very well have stolen Vandire's life.

Denmark plays an important part at the international life science scene, and it is of utmost importance to the Danish welfare structure that Denmark fosters academic and pharmaceutical research and development activities in the life science field on a continued and foresighted base.
Denmark's Life Science Cluster, was established in 2005 as part of the Danish Governmental supported Cluster Excellence Denmark Programme – an initiative to strengthen innovation in Denmark through collaboration and networking initiatives. A number of network organisations in various industry sectors have since then been financed by the Ministry of Higher Education and Science.
Biopeople constitutes of a secretariat located at the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen. Biopeople is a membership organization with approx. 160 members and other committed cluster participants in the Danish life science community. Membership is free of charge.
Strong research tradition paved the way
Biopeople's unique focus on biotech and pharma within life sciences fits very well into Denmark's stronghold and historical tradition in pharmaceutical research and development, which is mainly due to the strong research tradition of the universities. More than 100 years ago they paved the way for the development of the Danish based international pharmaceutical companies such as the Novo Group, H. Lundbeck and LEO Pharma. This tradition is the basis of many new small Danish life science companies, which has formed the Danish life science cluster, as it is today, where the Danish pharmaceutical export significantly contributes to GDP and jobs.
Targeted treatment
The life science environment took a giant leap by the decoding of the human genome about 15 years ago. Today we more deeply understand the fundamental molecular principles of disease, and this knowledge transforms the development of medicine, and consequently the health care system. In the future doctors will apply new diagnostic methods to choose the right medication and treatment. Biomarkers will provide increasingly detailed information as to which therapy, under what circumstances, at what point in time and in what dosage achieves a positive outcome.
The four P's
These expanding treatment opportunities is a key driver of the total paradigm shift in public health care, where the so-called "Four Ps" form the basic building blocks of future medicine, treatment principles and preventive actions: anticipating (Predictive) and preventing (Pre-emptive) disease in the future will involve highly precise, personalized diagnosis and corresponding treatment (Personalized). Furthermore, patients will gradually play a more active decision-making role in their own health care (Participatory).
At the same time the increasing health care pressure as people grow older and the increasing treatment costs forms a societal and economic challenge for every society. Health care costs and the paradigm shift in health care have national as well as international focus. The obvious need for the development of targeted new and better medicines combined with the use of companion diagnostics to enhance efficiency is the key to the shift in treatment modalities.
Public-private partnerships instrumental
Public-private partnerships are instrumental in this development. The regulatory and funding environments need to cope with the challenges of the paradigm shift in health care. Academic research is in the forefront of using new technologies and the pharmaceutical companies constantly need to develop their pipelines. Partnerships between academia, small new companies and/or big pharma companies might be the most successful way to add new medical product development projects to the pipelines. And not to forget the end-users of the health care system and new medicines – the patients – are increasingly looked upon as important sparring partners in the total health care environment.
This is where Biopeople increasingly plays an important role having adapted this important focus and having strengthened its efforts to facilitate the development by being active partners in projects that are important for the Danish involvement in the global health care development.
Biopeople is financed by a base state grant for the Cluster Excellence Denmark programme of 12 million DKK for 2014-2018. Additionally, the organization supplements with project grants and service contracts from EU, Danish regions, the ministry and other relevant stakeholders priorities in the coming years.

How Much Do We Know About Medical Marijuana for Pets?
The Colorado Board of Health recently voted against adding post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) to the list of conditions eligible for treatment with medical marijuana. According to the Denver Post, "Currently allowed uses of marijuana include pain (93 percent of recommendations), cancer, epilepsy, glaucoma, muscles spasms, multiple sclerosis, severe nausea and wasting disease (cachexia)." Members of the Board of Health cited a lack of scientific evidence for marijuana's effectiveness in treating PTSD as the primary reason for their decision.
But a lack of scientific evidence doesn't seem to be stopping pet owners from giving medicinal pot to their pets. If you do a quick Google search for "medical marijuana" and "pets" you'll find lots of stories about owners who have given marijuana to their often chronically ill/dying pets. Anecdotally, they've seen some fairly remarkable improvements in their pets' quality of life, at least in the short term.
Owners are most often hoping that pot will help relieve their pet's pain and/or work as an appetite stimulant. Marijuana has also been used in the treatment of anxiety, nausea, and seizures, primarily in dogs. But here's the rub: even in the pot-friendly state of Colorado, medical marijuana is only legal when a physician recommends it for a human patient. Veterinarians cannot prescribe marijuana for pets.
Recreational marijuana is widely available, but I worry when I hear of owners giving it to their sick pets. Today's varieties have a much higher percentage of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and are therefore MUCH stronger than what used to be available a few decades back. In fact, a friend's dog recently suffered through what could only be described as a "bad trip" after ingesting a tiny amount of marijuana off the sidewalk in their neighborhood. The dog recovered, but the outcome could have been different if he was already critically ill.
Another option that is available to interested owners is cannabidiol (CBD), which is derived from hemp plants (hemp is basically marijuana that doesn't make much THC). CBD has recently garnered a lot of attention duet to its apparent ability to control seizure activity in people. According to a paper that explored its potential usefulness in human medicine, CBD "displays a plethora of actions including anticonvulsive, sedative, hypnotic, antipsychotic, antiinflammatory and neuroprotective properties."
Unfortunately, research into the potential usefulness of CBD in pets is lacking. The only studies I have seen found that CBD is very poorly absorbed after oral administration in dogs. "In three of the six dogs studied, CBD could not be detected in the plasma after oral administration. In the other three, the oral bioavailability ranged from 13 to 19%."
So, while CBD is available to pet owners (some companies are even making CBD dog treats!), it's hard for me to recommend its use. I doubt CBD supplements are dangerous, however. I suspect the biggest risk is to your wallet.
Have you treated a sick pet with marijuana or CBD? What's your experience?

Until there are scientific studies showing benefits to Fido/Fluffy, I'll go with what the doctor prescribed. I can't imagine giving something to my critters without knowing what to expect.
As a child I witnessed someone blow a "shotgun" to an older puppy for "fun". The dog acted strange. Lacking normal coordination he spilled water stepping in his bowl. When a sponge mop was used to sop it up he was terrified of it. Maybe a coincidence but he never seemed to recover from it. I wouldn't recommend marijuana treatment for a dog. At least not a younger one.
I have been using CBD supplements for one of my dogs for about a year now. I began using because she was really stiff and would periodically limp. I've seen a definite improvement in her mobility since using the product. I do believe the MJ and CBD are a real treatment for many medical issues but you have to use common sense. To use on pet you have to be extremely careful since they can not communicate with you. Unfortunately most people are idiots (my self included at times) - a little goes a long way!
What's The Colorado Board of Health smoking? "Members of the Board of Health cited a lack of scientific evidence for marijuana's effectiveness in treating PTSD as the primary reason for their decision."
And yet 6 million people die every year from cigarette smoke and Colorado is happy to collect taxes on cigarettes something I'm sure the Colorado Board of Health is aware of.
To put things in perspective it's okay to sell cigarettes in Colorado a product that causes 6 million deaths a year. Conversely not one death has been reported as a direct result of marijuana use since the beginning of time.
this is all about the prescription drug industry both human and veterinary reacting to the fact that medical marijuana does in fact treat many illnesses in both humans and animals better prescription drugs for far less money
Medical marijuana can be offered to both humans and animals in forms that do not get them "high" that treat the built-in cannibal receptors all our bodies contain
why not ask the animals what they like?
Thanks for the information Dr. Coates. My dog Leo will be 12 years old in November. He's been diagnosed with arthritis, and it's clear at times that he is in pain. Our vet also noticed that there were times when Leo (normally extremely bright and intelligent) would have a blank look on his face, and just stare into space. She thinks he's starting to show signs of senility. This was all very upsetting and, like most pet parents, I would do anything for him. I've been giving him a supplement called Dasuquin ( 1 1/2 tablets per day) for the arthritis and pain. I wasn't sure if it was doing anything, so I started giving him pet treats from http://www.treatibles.com/#!shop/c237h. I read their website and liked what I saw. Their treats have no THC in them (so pets do not get high). They get the healing benefit from the hemp-derived CBD rich food, without the THC that would turn them into stoners! Anyway, what's interesting is that Leo's pain does seem to have decreased (although I'm not sure if it's the Dasuquin or the Treatibles or both). However, his moments of senility have decreased tremendously (only after adding the treatibles to the mix!). I did call Leo's vet, and they did say the same thing as Dr. Coates - there isn't enough data for them to endorse the treatibles, but they are not harmful either.

Vibrators play a starring role in Sarah Ruhl's In the Next Room
Sarah Ruhl's In the Next Room (or The Vibrator Play) is about orgasms -- but it's neither titillating nor smutty. Ruhl has been called one of our most brilliantly imaginative playwrights, and locals have seen her luminous work before at the Denver Center, Curious Theatre Company and the Boulder Ensemble Theatre Company.
Now Equinox has managed to grab In the Next Room, which was both a Pulitzer finalist and a Tony nominee, and is staging the Denver premiere at the Bug Theatre.
At its most obvious level, the play deals with attitudes toward women and their sexuality in Victorian times, when doctors believed that hysteria was the culprit in almost all the ailments women suffered, and the root of hysteria (as of the word itself) was the uterus. The remedy was stimulation to orgasm.
Director Deb Flomberg says she devoured the script when it first fell into her hands and was determined to produce it. "It speaks to so many issues that are still very relevant: women's sexuality, repression, homosexuality, liberation, finding yourself," she says, "and yet it's told in this funny, light-hearted, poignant way."

Equinox is a small company, and Ruhl's plays tend to require sophisticated and beautiful visual effects. "We've had to look at it from a creative perspective," notes Flomberg, "asking ourselves how we can make it work with the resources we have. You really get to experiment and play. And sometimes you're just banging your head against the wall.
"If I had unlimited budget, I would have hundreds of amazing things happening on stage. But we do things on a budget, and there are limitations working out of the Bug Theatre -- no catwalks, nowhere to hang anything, no wing space. But we love the place. The Bug has its own following. It brings in the younger, more artsy, independent arts patron."
Putting her creativity to work, Flomberg not only found a robotics engineer, Evan Spitler, to design the large vibrator needed for the on-set doctor's office, but she poked around antique shops and discovered a couple of antique vibrators to display in the lobby, one dated 1915 -- "with all the pieces, beautifully intact" -- and a second from 1950. And, of course, there's a modern vibrator to show how vibrators have evolved over the years.
And then Flomberg plunged into historical research. She brought in an expert on women's history to talk to the cast and help everyone "get over the giggles," she remembers. "The historian just talked about the history of hysteria and manual stimulation. They thought that a woman's uterus moved around her body. So if a woman had a headache, it meant her uterus had wandered, and they'd have to massage it back down where it belonged."
Needing actors who were "vulnerable, courageous, and willing to let go," Flomberg says, she had those who auditioned perform the play's first orgasm scene, telling them: "The woman having this orgasm would have little idea what was happening to her. They didn't know that orgasms were sexual in any way. You've never seen porn; you don't know what you're supposed to sound like or look like. This release should be whatever feels natural to you."
The role was eventually given to Aimee Nelson, who "takes the scene to a beautiful place," Flomberg says.
Flomberg stresses that In The Next Room is not just a show for a girls' night out, but contains plenty to interest men. "The play lets you laugh at things -- orgasms are kind of hysterical, and it's okay to laugh," she says. "But there's another side that's sad and beautiful and deals with love in all its forms: between man and wife, woman and child, woman and God, man and his creative passion."
In the Next Room opens Friday, May 25 and runs Fridays and Saturdays through June 16 at the Bug Theatre, 3654 Navajo Street. For more information, call 720-984-0781 or go to www.equinoxtheatredenver.com.

Zap2it dropped in on Wendy Williams right after we attended a taping of her show in New York City. She changed from the very lady-like bob she was sporting on-air and into what she called her "street wig" and that's how we knew she was ready to dish…
Every morning on the show, Williams goes over the day's hot topics with very little abandon. So, we wondered if she had ever gotten any backlash for things she had said about some celebrities.
"Celebrities these days realize what they sign up for when they become celebrities," she tells us. "We're not the only show that's talking about what's going on in pop culture."
Of course, the hot topic at Zap2it is why Bristol Palin is still "Dancing with the Stars," so we asked Williams what she thought of the rumored republican conspiracy to keep Palin in the competition.
"After seeing the phenomenal numbers Sarah Palin did on her TLC show – five-million viewers," she emphasizes. "The republicans might have something to do with why she's staying around for so long."
When it comes to the winner, though, Williams has her money on Jennifer Grey. Why?
"She's got the sympathy vote," Williams says.

I love a good pitchers' duel. Really, pitching is my jam. But, like, every game, every day gets a bit old. Right now, here's what we have going down in baseball:
Maybe a little offense would be nice? Some happy medium between 1999 and today?
Nick Groke of the Denver Post reports that the Rockies agreed to a $200 million, 30-year lease with the Metropolitan Baseball Stadium District, which is the state division that owns Coors Field. As part of the deal, the Rockies will lease and develop a plot of land south of the stadium, which will cost the team $125 million for 99 years.
As Groke points out, had the Rockies not reached a deal by Thursday, March 30, the lease would have rolled over for five more years.
Rockies owner Dick Monfort issued a statement, saying, "We are proud that Coors Field will continue to be a vital part of a vibrant city, drawing fans from near and far and making our Colorado residents proud."
The Rockies moved into Coors Field in 1995. It is the National League's third oldest stadium. In that span of time, the Rockies have made the playoffs three times, the last coming in 2009 when they lost in the NLDS to the Phillies. The Rockies were swept in the 2007 World Series by the Red Sox.
Marlins outfielder Ichiro Suzuki is entering his 25th season as a professional baseball player and his 17th in the major leagues. The 43-year-old is potentially under contract through the 2018 season if the Marlins choose to pick up his club option.
Few players are able to continue their careers into their mid-40's. No surprise, Suzuki is the oldest position player in baseball. Only Braves pitcher Bartolo Colon, is older, and only by 51 days. Suzuki, however, wants to play until he's 50 years old, Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald reports.
"I'm not joking when I say it," Suzuki said. He continued, "Nobody knows what the future holds. But the way I feel, how I'm thinking, I feel like nothing can stop me from doing it. When you retire from baseball, you have until the day you die to rest."
When asked about what will happen when Suzuki finally does decide to retire, Suzuki responded, "I think I'll just die."
Last season, Suzuki showed he still has plenty left in the tank. He hit .291/.354/.376 with 21 extra-base hits, 48 runs scored, and 10 stolen bases in 365 plate appearances. If the Marlins' outfielders stay healthy, Suzuki won't be starting many games in 2017. He started in right field frequently during the second half last year, filling in for the injured Giancarlo Stanton.

Life After Gluten

Ikea Love
I'm new to Ikea. Denver doesn't have one yet, and we just discovered one near our new home in Texas. It reminds me of the 30 Rock episode where Liz tells her ex-boyfirend that they will never have an Ikea in Cleveland. "You can't deny the good people of Cleveland an Ikea!" Denver will have one in the next couple of years though, so no worries.
But I digress...
I was elated to discover that Ikea sells a bundle of almond torts that are naturally gluten free! They start at about $4.50 and go up near $5. They have flavors that include a raspberry cheesecake torte, blueberry torte, milk chocolate, dark chocolate and Daim. This last one is my favorite by a long shot, and it has Daim Swedish toffee bits in it . I think it's pretty similar to a Heath Bar. It totally rocks.
Not all of the flavors are that great. I didn't like the buttercream in one of the torts that they sold in the cafe. I didn't see it for sale in the Swedish Market section, but they had it available by the slice in the restaurant, and it was a simple almond cake with yellow buttercream. It was quite bland. The strawberry and blueberry are about middle ground for me, but I definitely enjoyed all of the chocolate ones!
A word of caution--check the boxes for "Gluten Free", as a select few of their cakes and torts are not GF.
I'll be keeping this in mind for our next party, and I won't have to make so many desserts!

New Triumph Dining Book!
Have you heard about the new
Triumph Dining
Restaurant Guide that just came out? They are on their 5th edition now, and I consider it a must-have when trying to navigate gluten free dining. It has saved me many-a-time while traveling. Plus, now that we have moved to Texas, I have had to start all over in finding safe places to eat. Back in Denver, a lot of places were very aware and friendly about making sure they had something that could accommodate a GF eater. In the DFW area, well, not so much. I can't say enough good things about this book!
Triumph Dining
Gluten-Free Restaurant Guide is set up by state, so if you are in a new area (or an old area), you can find all sorts of places that will accommodate you. They have chain restaurants and small hole-in-the-wall places. This edition has added 1,511 more restaurants! There are now over 120 gluten-free menus from the nation's most popular chain restaurants, a 50% increase from last year. This includes Wendy's, Chili's, Panera, and 117 other gluten free lists in the new guide as well.
As a sponsor,
Triumph Dining
has sent me a discount code for free shipping on your book, so if you want to check it out, you can get free shipping! Just enter coupon code
in the shopping cart area.
This code expires August 25th, so jump on it!

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner
So I bet you are just chomping at the bit wondering who won the giveaway, huh? Well I suppose I can tell you now :)
First off, since Olivia tried to cheat by adding another comment (haha), I had to take it out of the drawing. I made sure that everyone who had told me they are following me got 2 entries, and those who did not say they are following me got one entry. By my calculations, this totaled 20 entries. The winner is...
He said "We would probably use the $60 toward the purchase of a nice vacuum sealer for food, etc. We could buy food in bulk quantity and vacuum seal it for later consumption. Not only would we save money in the long run - but have fun too."
Well congratulations, and I hope you have fun with your new vacuum sealer :) Please contact me at meglutenfree (at) gmail (dot) com so that I can send you your gift certificate! Hooray!

Professional Baker With Celiac
I was recently asked by a fellow Celiac baker if it is OK to bake with gluten as long as she stands at an arms distance from the mixer and washes her hands thoroughly afterwards.
I get asked this question very frequently, and I think it's a question that a lot of people have. I have spent a long time thinking about and researching the subject, and I think I have an answer.
I have learned that it supposedly not possible to absorb gluten through your skin. It's OK to touch something with gluten, however, once you touch your face, you are at a high risk for contamination. I myself don't like to risk it. I prefer to use latex gloves while working with gluten (I really try to avoid the situation at all costs though), and I throw them away once I've finished working.
Secondly, flour particles go airborne very easily. We have all experienced the explosion of flour when turning the mixer on too fast, or when patting our hands together and the flour puffs up in your face. It is so easy to breathe in gluten particles and get sick from them. If you must work with gluten, then I would recommend wearing a surgical-style mask. Nevermind looking good in the kitchen, right?! Ha!
So there you go! What do
think about this?

Homemade Chewy Spiced Chocolate Chip Cookies
The other day, I
blogged about
a boxed chocolate chip cookie that I spiced up with some cinnamon and Marx Foods Organic Aji Amarillo Peruvian Chile powder . I was thinking that it would be fun to develop my own perfect chewy chocolate chip cookie from scratch. Not only did I finally make the perfect cookie, but I spiced it up again! I am really excited about the final product. Hopefully you are, too!
These cookies are thin, chewy, and soft! We made them last night, and they are still soft today!
Homemade Chewy Spiced Chocolate Chip Cookies
Yield: approx (45) 3" cookies
8 oz unsalted butter, very soft
1/4 cup Sugar
1 1/4 cup Brown Sugar (preferably homemade, recipe follows)
2 Eggs
2 Tbsp Milk
2 Cups Rice Flour
1/4 cup Cornstarch
2 tbsp Potato Starch
1 tsp Xanthan Gum
1 tsp Baking Soda
1 tsp Marx Foods
Organic Aji Amarillo Peruvian
Chile powder, or to taste
(directions for making chile powder can be found
3/4 tbsp Cinnamon, or to taste
pinch of Salt
1 1/2 cups Chocolate Chips
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Cream butter and sugars together until the mixture is thick and pale, and the sugar is dissolved. Add the egg one at a time, incorporating one before adding the 2nd. Add the milk. Whisk all of the dry ingredients together in a bowl, and add them into the butter mixture slowly. Once the dough is cohesive, add the chocolate chips. Taste the dough to determine of you would like to add more spice.
Spoon the dough onto baking sheets and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until slightly browned. Allow the cookies to cool on a cooling rack.
If you prefer to omit the spices to have a more traditional cookie, replace them with about 2 tsp of vanilla.
***Please note that pregnant women or the elderly should avoid tasting the raw dough, as it contains raw egg.***
*Homemade brown sugar is really easy to make! Pour about 4 cups of sugar into a food processor, add approx 1 1/2 tbsp blackstrap molasses and buzz the food processor for about 3 minutes, or until all of the sugar is coated and turns brown. Please feel free to add more or less molasses, depending on how dark or strong you want it.

Dear Einstein,
I live outside where it's cold, cold, cold. Some nice people moved into my old house after my humans left me behind. I now have a dog house with straw on the floor. They even put out dry cat food and water for me. So it could be worse. But in the winter, the water gets solid, and I can't drink it.
There's a green pool under the car in the driveway, but the dog down the street drank from it, and I haven't seen him since. The neighborhood birds who pause to refresh don't come back either.
I'm really Frosty
Hey Thirsty,
Congrats on finding a family to help you out a bit. Hopefully, they'll soon step up and bring you inside where you belong. In the meantime, water in cold weather is a problem for animals in areas north of the South. Actually, this winter, no place is exempt.
Don't drink that green (or blue) stuff dripping underneath the car. Humans put antifreeze/coolant in their vehicles to keep the engine water from freezing or boiling away.
Ethylene glycol, the active ingredient in most antifreeze, has been saving car radiators but killing cats and other living things since 1927. That's when Prestone first sold pure ethylene glycol to Model T and Studebaker owners. Unlike homemade alternatives of the day (honey, sugar, molasses and the most popular, methyl alcohol), ethylene glycol wouldn't boil away, and it was odorless … as well as deadly. Parents of four-leggers and tiny two-leggers have long complained that the "sweet" taste of the killer liquid made kids and pets want to drink it.
So a couple of years ago some fat cats got together and agreed to voluntarily add the nasty-tasting anti-nail-biting chemical denatonium benzoate to antifreeze manufactured in the U.S. Now antifreeze/coolants made by Prestone, Old World, Valvoline, Chevron, Shell, Recochem, Safety Kleen and Exxon/Mobil all include the bittering agent.
But just because these coolants now taste worse than 100-year-old eggs doesn't mean humans can stop biting their nails over their outside kitties' safety. According to a 2005 study, "the cat lacks the receptor likely necessary for detection of sweet stimuli." In that research, we house kitties, as well as some of our big cousins like tigers and cheetahs, showed no preference between sugar water and unflavored water, as opposed to dogs and humans, who were sweet on sweet stuff. Bottom line, we kitties aren't attracted to sweets.
Experts now think outside animals may drink from antifreeze puddles in extremely cold or hot weather cuz the green stuff is likely the only drinkable liquid available.
According to National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, it only takes one teaspoon of ethylene glycol to ice a kitty. (Kittens take even less.) Dogs and kids may have to drink a couple of ounces for the same catastrophic end. Cats can become poisoned just by walking through antifreeze and absorbing it through the skin.
The first sign that you've drunk from the wrong well, is that you act, well, drunk. Only 30 minutes after first lapping ethylene glycol, you'll appear lethargic, disorientated or uncoordinated, and you may show off your third eyelid. You may drink and pee more than usual, and you'll begin to vomit. Ulcers will appear around your mouth or on your tongue. Your kidneys will go on strike and shut down. Your heart will race and you'll develop breathing problems. After that you'll likely slip into a coma and die.
Your humans should watch for odd behavior. This is also the first symptom of a legion of other health concerns. If they think you may have sipped antifreeze, go to the vet — immediately. Getting medical attention as soon as they notice something is amiss could mean the difference in you staying earthbound and singing with the Choir Invisible. Animals who receive prompt veterinary treatment can recover — but every wasted minute decreases your chances.
In one nationwide survey, two out of three veterinarians said they treat at least one case of antifreeze poisoning each year.
Hopefully your new humans will equip your cat house with a pet-safe heating pad or a Snuggle Safe. Until they come to their senses and bring you inside, think warm thoughts and avoid green puddles.
Einstein received help from Prestone Products Corporation, Humane Society Legislative Fund and Pet Poison Helpline (800-213-6680).
Learn more about your cat with Catster:
Einstein's assistant, Dusty Rainbolt ACCBC, is the vice president of the Cat Writers' Association, editor-in-chief of AdoptAShelter.com and a member of the International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants. She's the award-winning author of eight fiction and non-fiction books including her most recent paranormal mystery, Death Under the Crescent Moon.
Got a question for he who knows everything feline? Just Ask Einstein in the comments below and you might be featured in an upcoming column. (Letters don't have to be written from the cat's point of view.) Remember, any change in your cat's behavior or activities could be a symptom of disease and should be investigated by your vet, even if it unfortunately involves glass tubes and cat posteriors.

As everyone who has been involved in running an online business or website knows, if you don't get the right keywords to correctly signpost your site, you won't get any traffic diverting to your corner of the web.
Figuring out the right keywords to optimize your site is a tricky science, involving a balance between putting yourself in the shoes of your potential consumer to figure out what phrases they're likely to use to search for your products, and researching the frequency of keyword usage with tools like Google Keyword to see which are best to push through the competition to the top of the rankings.
But when it comes to deciding on the best keywords in other languages, the whole game changes. Different languages and cultures will approach the expression of their desires in different ways.
Simply taking your English keywords and then looking up their dictionary translations in each of your target languages won't yield effective results. Indeed, the most effective keyword for a product or service could be anything from a direct translation of the term into the target language, to a colloquialism, a synonym, or an adopted term from English or another language.
As an example, let's say that you're selling weekend holidays and want to start a French language website. The direct dictionary translation of your keyword "weekend holiday," as Google Translate would have it, is "week-end de vacance," but this doesn't show up on a keyword search in Google Keyword. However, "holiday rental" (a.k.a., "location vacance") gets more than 4 million hits, while other high ranking keywords for the French market include "maison vacance," "séjour," "sejour" (without the accent) and "vacance piscine."
Therefore, you need a three-pronged approach when working out your keywords for foreign markets.
The first step is to get your English keywords translated into their target language — but don't just use a dictionary or Google Translate. To really get the proper literal translation of a term in the particular idiom of your market, you'll need the assistance of a professional translator who lives in the country you're targeting, who'll be up to date with the shifts in language and cultural references.
This same translator can then help with stage two, and use their specific in-country knowledge to brainstorm other terms that their fellow citizens would be likely to use to search for your product. For instance, sticking with the "weekend holiday" example, a French company employing a British translator to brainstorm synonyms for "location vacance" into English would be told that "city-break" and "weekend getaway" are another two popular terms that express the same idea.
The last stage is to thoroughly research your new list of keywords with a detailed data analysis of search trends in your target market. This should involve analyzing the keywords being used by your competitors — which ones are working and which ones aren't — as well as checking the data on usage for all your keywords and their variants.
The aim is to get a balance of the most popular keywords and the long-tail ones. Your super popular keywords are the most likely to be used, but there'll also be a lot more competition for rankings, while your long-tail keywords — phrases consisting of three or more words — will be searched for less often, but will be more likely to lead searchers directly to your site (e.g., "weekend holiday" is short tail, while "budget cottage holidays Britain" is long tail).
Employing a good mix of thoroughly thought-out and researched short- and long-tail keywords throughout your foreign language sites and PPC campaigns will mean you're ready to tackle any market, because you've been inside the minds of your foreign customers.

Working on a longer post for later, but I wanted to be sure to share the following links of note:
If you've read this blog for any length of time, or know me, you know that the first book I ever sold was FLASH BURNOUT by LK Madigan, which went on to win the Morris Award for best debut novel released in 2009.
I loved that book, and I loved Lisa, and she was taken from us all too soon. But! She wrote a companion book to FLASH before she died. It's called PROJECT: BOY NEXT DOOR, and it's awesome. Her family has had it edited and indie-published it, and I'm so glad the world gets to read more of Lisa's wonderful words. Here's more about the book -- support it, won't you? You can purchase on Amazon or BN. Happy reading.
A great post on What To Expect at BEA, perfect for first-timers. Especially important, I think: Don't be greedy, and for crying out loud WEAR COMFORTABLE SHOES! :-)
You've probably seen it already, but if not, this is important: Maureen Johnson and the Coverflip. What happens when books by male authors are given "female" covers, and vice-versa? This would be funny if it weren't so bloody depressing.
Looking for a funny YA book rec? There's a flowchart for that.
I'm on the list of the "Top 20 Picture Book Agents" in very good company! Though, actually, this list is somewhat flawed because the sales are self-reporting, so some very good agents who simply don't report every sale are not listed. Still. Awesome.
Finally, in non-book related (but VERY IMPORTANT) news: I baked home-made Sriracha Cheez-Its today. They came out delicious. I used gouda, very sharp cheddar and parmesan, and quite a bit of extra hot sauce. But I didn't roll them thin enough so they were more like cheese puffs. STILL.

I seriously doubt we can make it to election day 2016 without a collapse if we do not have Debt Cancellation. I could be wrong. We might last until 2017. We need to arrest the Bankers and seize their assets before they destroy the world. We can use the money they stole from us to liquidate all the Unpayable Debts they created through fraud.
The alternative is that we let the Bankers starve a few billion people to death and issue a cashless digital currency that would give them the Divine Right of Kings to rule over us. Let me close with something I have not said for awhile.
The Fundamental Fact of Your Existence as a modern man or woman is that the bankers of New York and London want to reduce you to Debt Slavery. Accept that fact and move on to the solution.
On the eve of the Syrian 'Peace Talks' the Obama Administration threatens escalation across the Mideast ~ link ~
Underlying the bitter disputes over who will attend the so-called peace talks are the sharply divergent interests of the US, which, together with its regional allies, has backed the Islamist militias with arms and funding in a bid to topple the Assad government, and Russia, which counts this government as its principal ally in the Middle East. For its part, Turkey, while claiming to oppose ISIS, is principally concerned with overthrowing Assad and quelling the rise of a Kurdish territory on its southern border.
The Obama administration is determined to use the talks as an instrument for furthering its goal of regime change in Syria and, more broadly, the assertion of US imperialist hegemony throughout the Middle East. It insists that any political transition must include the speedy removal of Assad.

Rampage 3 Gene Review
I have just received the latest motherboard from ASUS Australia, the Rampage 3 Gene. This little board is packing the punch of its big brother the Rampage 3 Extreme but at a cut down price.
This motherboard is capable of SLI / Crossfire with 2 full 16x pci-e lanes and capable of addressing 24GB of ram. Offering the features we have come to love from ASUS including ROG connect, Extreme digi power phase, crash free bios, sata 3, and on board X-Fi SupremeFX sound. I was lucky enough to premier the launch of this board at the RFLAN in Perth making its first public appearance in Australia, where we put this board to the test pushing it with an i7-980x processor to above 6ghz using liquid nitrogen cooling. This board remained rock solid and provided great memory clocking. OVERVIEW Accessories included: 1 x ROG Connect cable, 1 x SLI Cable, 1 x 2 in 1 ASUS Q-Connector Kit, 3 x 2-in-1 SATA signal cables, 1 x 2-in-1 SATA 6G cables, 1 x I/O Shield, 1 x Cable Ties Pack, 1 x 12-in-1 ROG Cable Label, 1 x ROG theme label, 1 x User's Manual. ASUS have included everything you will need to get this motherboard up and running in no time. As you can see here it is packing a large heatsink on the North bridge, ASUS have really put some time into designing this little board to maximize its performance and keep a very compact unit. While using this motherboard temperatures on the Northbridge never exceeded 60 degrees while pushing the board to max overclocks proving they have addressed the issue people were facing with the Rampage 2 Gene and Rampage 2 Extreme. As you will see ASUS have continued with their new ram slots making installation easy and fast with a single clip securing the ram in place. I had great fun playing with memory on this board, it was more than capable of pushing my Corsair 2000 C7 Dominators to 2200 mhz c7-8-7-20 1T stable as a rock. ASUS are offering 8 channel audio via the X-Fi SupremeFX sound controller on board which packs a great punch saving you money on buying an aftermarket sound card. You will see the vertical USB slot next to the ROG button for flashing you bios crash free or connecting another PC too for ROG connect. You will notice delivering the cpu power is an 8 pin connector, unlike its big brother that provides 2x 8 pin connectors we found no issue with not getting enough power on the Rampage 3 Gene. This little board was more than capable of pushing our i7-980x to above 6ghz. You can clearly see here the solder points to monitor voltages for everything with a digital multimeter so you can easily check if you have suspicions of unstable or incorrect voltage reading via software. Sitting just above the solder points you will see 4 tiny LED's these are your boot sequence posts, you will see it jump from cpu - dram- vga and final boot cycle so you can easily see if there is an error it will hang on the LED you have an issue with. You will also notice that Asus have made the cmos battery holder vertical like they did with the Rampage 2 Gene. While you will see the South Bridge heatsink is rather small i did not find any issue with it overheating at all it remained warm to touch but defiantly nothing to cause concern. Next to the start and reset button you will see the ASUS GO button that you can program in bios to a set profile so you can at any time boot from those saved settings. The Rampage 3 Gene has 6x Sata 3 ports and 2x 6gb/s ports for raid configuration setups. The Rampage 3 Gene has 2 full 16x SLI/Crossfire lanes and 1x pci-e 4x slot and a single pci 1x slot. You will notice it does not have dual bios chips like the Rampage 3 Extreme but still remains a completely crash free bios. As you might notice they have incorporated a jumper to enable QPI Load Line Calibration so you can get solid voltages when pushing the Rampage 3 Gene to the max. The I/O panel is offering 1 x PS/2 Keyboard, 1 x S/PDIF Out (Optical), 1 x IEEE 1394a, 1 x LAN(RJ45) port, 8 -Channel Audio I/O, 1 x Clr CMOS switch, 1 x ROG Connect On/Off switch, 2 x USB 3.0/2.0 ports (Blue), 7 x USB 2.0/1.1 ports & the vertical USB port for ROG connect. |

miguel vallinas fashions animals in apparel to reflect their human nature
(above) 'retrato número 57′
all images courtesy of miguel vallinas
humans can assume a panorama of personalities within our reach, whether imposed or adopted based on environmental context. through photography, artist miguel vallinas documents these varied personas and the intimate internal characters we take on, based on the circumstances surrounding.
as a follow up to the series 'skins', where he captured portraits of the same man doing different kinds of work, vallinas continues with 'second skins', which similarly reflects individual choices, but uses animals, rather than humans as the project's protagonists. the fashionably dressed animals present their personalities through the clothing they choose to wear. each of the species' digitally crafted wardrobes reflect their identity and charm, and affect the way the viewer perceives their character — a majestic horse dons an elegant blazer and scarf; a sweet-faced lamb cozies up in a knitted sweater; and a fiery cheetah wears a lively patterned top. 'while the name used as the collection title specifies the order in the series, in reality it is more than an answer to a sequence,' vallinas says. 'it is word game – second skins suggests options, possibilities and ultimately choices.'

Planning to buy a laptop? You could get one without burning a hole in your pocket. A no-frills mini-laptop now starts at Rs 14,700 while a fully-loaded one is available for Rs 19,500.
"The laptop prices have come down by about 20% in the past six months due to technology innovation and cut-throat competition," Sarabjeet Kaur, director of Arrows Computers, a computer store chain told HT. The rising popularity of the iPad and other tablet computers has also added to the competition, say dealers.
"Technology is changing so fast that what was new six months ago is old now. Manufacturers won't just throw away old models, but will sell them at reduced prices," says Gambhir Singh, who runs a multi-brand laptop outlet in Pragati House, Nehru Place.
For instance, an HP netbook that used to cost Rs 19,500 six months ago now costs Rs 15,700.
Experts say competition could intensify when Google launches its $300 Chromebook in India, though its launch date is not know. Google India spokesperson Paroma Roy Chowdhary said, "I can't comment on future launches."
Some experts feel the popularity of tablet computers has nothing to do with falling laptop prices.
CyberMedia Research lead analyst Sumanta Mukherjee said, "The decline in personal computer prices in the past few quarters may be attributed to a general long term trend of decline in average sales values."
So, what is the price outlook six months from now? Down. Definitely!

To quote myself "You show me an RTS without micro and I'll show you a game you are playing wrong.
If I attack you on 4 fronts and you can't manage them all advantage me.
Multi-front attacks aren't micro. They're macro. Broad strokes, even if in multiple areas at the same time. SupCom lets you do coordinated attacks without requiring you to have micro skills.
Micro would be things like spreading marines against banelings (a classic SC thing), or individually casting abilities for each unit you have.
a RTS with battles that auto-resolve could have no micro
unit strategy is really choosing which engagements to have. not actually fiddling with units to decide the outcome
I'm of the (possibly unpopular) opinion that I'd even throw grenades out of the window... I wouldn't mind my riflemen being intelligent enough to throw grenades as required, instead of them waiting for the commander's permission to use them. Likewise for a lot of active abilities. Ever since Warcraft 3, it seems like it's pretty much obligatory that most if not all units need at least one active ability.
Am I alone longing for units that could use all of their weapons without my constant interference? Age of Empires wasn't in any way diminished from not having archers with a "Power Shot" ability.
In CoH taking the grenades manual usage out would just make the infantry OP. Part of the gameplay is using infantry to take out tanks using cover and getting them close enough to do so. If they can just do that themselves, then the tanks are pretty screwed because you can just send a group of troops near a tank safe with the knowledge that one of them will tag it.
I'm with you 100%. That said, I suspect the "every unit must have an active ability" thing is so that we have something to do with our hands while we watch battles unfold. Of course, CoH gives you at most a dozen units to handle at any one time, because they're conveniently grouped up into squads of three to six men. SC2 makes you micro every last goddamn soldier on the ground, and steadfastly refuses to allow you to bandbox more than a dozen at a time.
Well, were infantry more self-sufficient, the devs would likely just make tanks harder to kill.
Well yeah, but then you just have two groups fighting with no input from you at all.
Atleast Command & Conquer had a button for telling infantry to spread out incase of tank trying to squish em. I miss that game.
I think this is key. RTSs are always going to give the advantage to the player who can do more stuff in a shorter time frame, so decent APM will always be an advantage. What the designers can do is make that stuff more interesting. In SC2 those clicks are best spent keeping your worker production and building perfectly timed, and microing heavily in combat. In CoH the clicks are about cover, flanks, and managing multiple parts of the battle simultaneously. I like the manual grenades in this case, since they draw on your resource pool. Throwing a grenade means putting off an upgrade or a global ability, so you can't use it too often, and it has to count.
I don't see why "macro" would only concern economy, otherwise we'd just use economy, right?Quote:

Elfen Lied is, by far, one of the most difficult anime I can think of in terms of describing it as a whole. At first it seems like a tragic tale of a girl who has been caged up her whole life and had finally cracked, where then she goes on a bloodthirsty rampage, killing anybody in the way of her escape. However as you progress through it a little more you slowly start to see an underlying story of a heartbroken girl who felt betrayed, yet at the same time has harbored an enormous amount of guilt almost her entire life. Lucy, the main protagonist of Elfen Lied, has had a tough life, Growing up in what appeared to be a childrens home surrounded by sadistic children out to pick on her because she wasn't "Normal", until one day she kills 3 children from that home and runs off on her own. She then killed more and more people, living in the homes of the victims until the police showed up, where then she would just kill more and keep moving. This aspect of her life really hit me hard because what I saw was a lonely girl, afraid of making any contact with any other living thing for fear of attachment and betrayal. I felt that this fact was portrayed very well, however I could also see the sadistic side of her as well, I could see that a part of her wasn't affected by the killing she was doing and, in fact, it seemed as if she enjoyed it. I do not know if that is what they had intended but that is what I had felt as I watched this show.
Continuing on in this story you find out that there are more than one of Lucy's kind in the world, but a majority of them have been kept away and locked up by the same company she has escaped from. A large portion of them had also been killed so as to not spread the "Disease", I felt that this aspect was well suited to this show and it also helped shed some light on just how horrible the company was in their pursuit of the "Next Evolution of Mankind". As I was shown more and more of the Diclonius (This is what Lucy's kind was called) I began to feel another slew of emotions, Nana was probably my favorite out of all of them as she was portrayed as a kind Diclonius who had never used her Vector to harm human beings. This fact alone was enough to sprout feelings of hope for the end of this show, so much so that the ending itself has actually left a permanent scar and I do not believe I will ever forget this series.
As you near the end of the show they start putting the pieces together for you so as to shed light on any gaps or questions you may have had throughout the series. The scene where Kouhta's sister was ripped in half by Lucy really shocked me and yet at the same time didn't shock me as I had already put 2 & 2 together and deciphered that Lucy had done that to her in the past. I had shed a tear many times in this series but when I heard her say "No, Big brother, Don't hate me" followed up by her being ripped in two I don't think I have ever actually "Cried" that much during a series. It packed such a punch of emotion that it has stuck with me and I even saw that same scene in my dreams that night.
Overall this series kept me entertained, kept me wondering what was going to happen at the end of each episode, and was well worth watching. I guess now I'll explain my ratings that I chose above:
Story: The reason I gave the story a 9.5 should be pretty obvious, Elfen Lied kept me thoroughly entertained each episode and made me want to watch episode after episode, so much so that I finished the entire series in one night. I would strongly recommend this series to anybody who doesn't have a weak stomach or a fear of blood.
Animation: I gave the animation a 9 because I haven't seen another series go this in depth for death animations and it shocked yet pleased me how far they went with this.
Sound: I gave this a 9 pretty much for the same reason as the Animation, they went all out (I thought) for this entire series.
Characters: I gave the Characters a 7.5 because of my mixed emotions throughout this series, I didn't know if they wanted me to love or hate Lucy, some of them made me feel like I was watching a cardboard cutout act out a play and at other times I couldn't even tell if somebody was being serious or joking around.
Overall: I gave Elfen Lied an 8.5 overall, this series was great and I would watch it again and again.

Subject | [jira] Commented: (LUCENE-2878) Allow Scorer to expose positions and payloads aka. nuke spans |
Date | Tue, 01 Feb 2011 20:31:29 GMT |
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2878?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12989374#comment-12989374 ] Michael McCandless commented on LUCENE-2878: -------------------------------------------- This patch looks awesome (and, enormous)! Finally we are making progress merging Span* into their corresponding non-positional queries :) I like how you added payloads to the BulkPostings API, and how someone is finally testing the bulk positions code. So now I can run any Query, and ask it to enumerate its positions (PositionInterval iterator), but not paying any price if I don't want positions. And it's finally single source... caller must say up-front (when pulling the scorer) if it will want positions (and, separately, also payloads -- great). It's great that you can just emulate spans on the new api with SpanScorerWrapper/MockSpanQuery, and use PositionFilterQuery to filter positions from a query, eg to turn a BooleanQuery into whatever SpanQuery is needed -- very nice! How does/should scoring work? EG do the SpanQueries score according to the details of which position intervals match? The part I'm wondering about is what API we should use for communicating positions of the sub scorers in a BooleanQuery to consumers like position filters (for matching) or eg Highlighter (which really should be a core functionality that works w/ any query). Multiplying out ("denormalizing") all combinations (into a flat stream of PositionIntervals) is going to be too costly in general, I think? Maybe, instead of the denormalized stream, we could present a UnionPositionsIntervalIterator, which has multiple subs, where each sub is its own PositionIntervalIterator? This way eg a NEAR query could filter these subs in parallel (like a merge sort) looking for a match, and (I think) then presenting its own union iterator to whoever consumes it? Ie it'd only let through those positions of each sub that satisfied the NEAR constraint. > Allow Scorer to expose positions and payloads aka. nuke spans > -------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: LUCENE-2878 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2878 > Project: Lucene - Java > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Search > Affects Versions: Bulk Postings branch > Reporter: Simon Willnauer > Assignee: Simon Willnauer > Attachments: LUCENE-2878.patch, LUCENE-2878.patch, LUCENE-2878.patch, LUCENE-2878.patch > > > Currently we have two somewhat separate types of queries, the one which can make use of positions (mainly spans) and payloads (spans). Yet Span*Query doesn't really do scoring comparable to what other queries do and at the end of the day they are duplicating lot of code all over lucene. Span*Queries are also limited to other Span*Query instances such that you can not use a TermQuery or a BooleanQuery with SpanNear or anthing like that. > Beside of the Span*Query limitation other queries lacking a quiet interesting feature since they can not score based on term proximity since scores doesn't expose any positional information. All those problems bugged me for a while now so I stared working on that using the bulkpostings API. I would have done that first cut on trunk but TermScorer is working on BlockReader that do not expose positions while the one in this branch does. I started adding a new Positions class which users can pull from a scorer, to prevent unnecessary positions enums I added ScorerContext#needsPositions and eventually Scorere#needsPayloads to create the corresponding enum on demand. Yet, currently only TermQuery / TermScorer implements this API and other simply return null instead. > To show that the API really works and our BulkPostings work fine too with positions I cut over TermSpanQuery to use a TermScorer under the hood and nuked TermSpans entirely. A nice sideeffect of this was that the Position BulkReading implementation got some exercise which now :) work all with positions while Payloads for bulkreading are kind of experimental in the patch and those only work with Standard codec. > So all spans now work on top of TermScorer ( I truly hate spans since today ) including the ones that need Payloads (StandardCodec ONLY)!! I didn't bother to implement the other codecs yet since I want to get feedback on the API and on this first cut before I go one with it. I will upload the corresponding patch in a minute. > I also had to cut over SpanQuery.getSpans(IR) to SpanQuery.getSpans(AtomicReaderContext) which I should probably do on trunk first but after that pain today I need a break first :). > The patch passes all core tests (org.apache.lucene.search.highlight.HighlighterTest still fails but I didn't look into the MemoryIndex BulkPostings API yet) -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com | |
