It's possible I'm not going to win the Father of the Year Award anytime soon.
Or ever.
Actually it's not just possible, it's pretty much a mortal lock.
It's not because I call my daughter "The Evil Spawn" in a moderately well-read blog (although that certainly doesn't help my cause).
It's because I coach her basketball team.
One would think this would put me in the finals for the Father of the Year competition.
Actually coaching 3rd grade girls in anything should at least get me in the Fast Past line to Heaven (this would be a Walt Disney World/Religious reference… so it's painfully obvious I'm so not a good person).
I'm trying to do the right thing. I spend time with the Spawn. I've taught her how to dribble. I've taught her how to shoot. She's even scored several baskets (always followed by a slightly creepy celebratory dance she evidently learned from her mother's side of the family).
I don't mean to brag, but we've won most of our games (4-1 baby!!!).
It seems to me things are going pretty well.
Except there's one small problem.
Or maybe it's a big problem. I'm really not fit to decide at this point.
When I coach her, I only see her mistakes.
And there are lots of them.
Again, I'm not really fit to decide this either (in fact, I really shouldn't be around children).
I could write an entire blog about her inability to fight through a screen or be in good rebounding position, but then I would really look like an idiot (if you've never coached basketball please disregard this sentence as it probably makes absolute no sense… other than I'm an idiot part).
I expect her to play basketball like she's taking a spelling test (stay with me… I have a point here). I expect her to play an entire game and not make any mistakes. None. Zip. Nadda. And whatever the Spanish word for Zero is.
In my mind she should get everything correct just like I want her to do on a spelling test (I didn't say it was a good point, I just said I had a point).
On the other hand, I recognize when her teammates make mistakes. And that's okay because they are trying.
As long as they try and do their best, what more can I ask?
Her? Different story.
I'm not sure, but this may be a little something I like to call a "Double-Standard".
By now, you are probably on board with my theory about not winning Father of the Year.
That's okay because you would be right. And just so my readers feel good about themselves, I'm about to reinforce this theory.
At our last game, we started the 4th quarter down by 6 points. That's not a big deficit unless you've seen 3rd grade girls play basketball. Then you would realize it's like being behind by 427 points.
Occasionally, our team struggles with "scoring" (as all 3rd graders do).
Basically the game was over.
But as luck would have it, our team battled back (in spite of my daughter… again, I only see her mistakes… I may have some issues and be in dire need of counseling).
With 37 seconds left we were down by 2 points, but we got the ball back.
I called a timeout.
This was the perfect opportunity to put all of my years of coaching knowledge to work.
I could diagram a play and we would win the game.
Too bad the girls were so excited they wanted to talk instead of listen. Turns out during a timeout with 3rd grade girls, everybody has a story. Or they are thirsty. Or they need their shoes tied. Or ponytails fixed. Or they want to wave at mom and dad. Or they need to use the restroom (who can't hold it for 37 seconds???).
They want to do anything but listen to my ingenious explanation of the play that will win the game.
But this didn't stop me. I set up a play (or at least some controlled mayhem…).
There were two girls I was comfortable taking the last shot. Both are not related to me (the Evil Spawn is so writing a paper in high school titled "Bad Dad").
So what happens?
The play doesn't work (who's surprised?… not me).
But something odd happened.
The Evil Spawn evidently stay calmed and used her head (maybe we aren't related???).
The Spawn scored to tie the game and send it to overtime (which we win!!!).
The crowd goes crazy.
A creepy dance ensues.
And I don't remember any of it.
I didn't even know she hit the last shot. I have no recollection of it. I thought another girl made the basket.
I was so focused on her not making a mistake.
It was only after the game when I realized she did something wonderful. It occurred to me when other parents (no doubt better people than me) where high-fiving and congratulating her on the big shot at the buzzer.
Oh, it gets worse.
I not only missed the game-tying shot, I missed all of the shots she made.
Evidently, she was our leading scorer. I had no idea.
I guess I don't remember anything. Except her mistakes.
I haven't read the book "Good Dad/Bad Dad" (pictured above), but I probably should.

Occupy Wall Street protester Malcolm Harris is not alone in having his tweets subpoenaed: according to Twitter's semi-annual first semi-annual report, the company said it has produced information in 75 percent of the 679 requests it has received so far in 2012 from U.S. government agencies, and fulfilled 75 percent of those requests.
Unsurprisingly, the United States, where Twitter is based, represents the lion's share of requests for user information.
But expect other nations to catch up.
Jeremy Kessel, manager for Twitter's legal policy, writes, "We've received more government requests in the first half of 2012, as outlined in this initial dataset, than in the entirety of 2011."
Twitter receives far, far more copyright complaints, reporting 3,378 takedown requests under the Digital Millenium Copyright Act.
(The company joins other tech firms by forwarding such requests to the website Chilling Effects.) But the company only fulfilled 38 percent of requests to take down content under copyright complaints.

Friday night supper with Monsieur P. Gramercy Tavern is our go-to restaurant when it's just the two of us and we crave something more upscale than our affair with Otto, but nothing fancy.
We often take advantage of the $38 three-course dinner, offered every evening after 5:30pm, but this time around I went the a la carte route while Monsieur P did the three-course menu.
I started with an appetizer of Sweetbreads (pictured at top), served with summer squash, shishito peppers on a base of creamy, earthy mushroom purée and then had the Mushroom Lasagna as my entree. Do you remember the very first time I had this pasta? April 2008! The dish, most thankfully, has not changed at all. A classic.
The three-course menu gives you a pick from three appetizers, three entrees and anything off the dessert menu. Lamb Pappardelle is our favourite of the appetizers and seems to always be one of the three options. The pasta is made in-house, wide, supple ribbons tossed with a lamb ragu, black olives, lemon confit and swiss chard.
The Roasted Hanger Steak is also a mainstay as one of the entree options. Accompaniments to the steak change with season, and for the fall it comes with fingerling potatoes, red Russian kale and killer bourbon sauce that we proceeded to wipe clean with the bread.
And for dessert? Though there were pumpkin sweets on the menu, I can never pass on Nancy Olson's Apple Pie, a generous wedge of tender apples neatly tucked into the buttery crust. I like to chip off the entire crust edge first, spoon some cinnamon sour cream ice cream over the crust, and get it all in one big bite. Oh, the pleasure! And yes, that goes for the base of candied walnuts as well ;)
There were a few minor service mishaps (the waitress forgot what we ordered – multiple times throughout the meal), and the kitchen graciously sent out the Chef's Selection of Farmstead Cheeses. From left to right, Cremont, beautiful and perfectly ripe, all oozy right beneath the rind, a goat and cow's milk from Websterville, Vermont; Maidenhead, a raw cow's milk from Lawrenceville, New Jersey; and on the right Ewe's Blue, a sheep milk cheese from Old Chatham, New York. Monsieur P was too full by this point, so I gladly had all the cheese, almonds & honey, and bread on my own.
Then. Close to midnight, it was back out into the cold and wind after an incredibly satisfying meal. A 10-minute search for a cab before diving under the covers at home, hot tea on the nightstand and heater on high. It feels like winter already!

As temperatures reached the exotic heights of 31C across the country this week, sunbathers could be in for more than a tan as horse flies appear to be terrorising the nation.
Horseflies, or clegs as they are commonly known, are bloodsucking insects commonly found in Britain and can grow up to 1-1/4 inches in length.
Peak time for the insect in the UK is between May and September and one Wildlife Trust warned that this year the UK is seeing populations more like you would expect in the Mediterranean, due to the warmer weather.
Bloodsucking females
Whilst the male horsefly feeds off nectar, the female horsefly feeds off animals, including humans, by sucking their blood so she can produce eggs.
The female will lay around 25 to 1,000 eggs in damp wetland areas and also in grassy woodland areas.
It's their jagged, razor sharp teeth that cause the damage though – and even just one bite from the bloody thirsty bug could leave unsuspecting victims in a great deal of pain.
Painful, infected bites
"A bite from a horsefly can be very painful and the bitten area of skin will usually be red and raised," NHS Choices says.
"Horsefly bites can take a while to heal and can become infected. See your GP if you have symptoms of an infection, such as pus or increasing pain, redness and swelling."
According to the NHS symptoms of horsefly bites include a larger red, raised rash, dizziness, weakness and wheezing. A part of the body may also become puffy and swollen.
In rare occasions an allergic reaction to the fly can prove fatal and in 2013 a father of four died suddenly after being bitten by the fly.
If you're bitten by a horsefly, keep the wound clean and apply ice to minimise the itching.

More motherhood whitewash
If Jesse James got pregnant, carried a baby around inside him, and then birthed it on national television, they'd probably forgive him. Because Motherhood whitewashes everything. It whitewashed Tori Spelling's infidelity and it is now whitewashing Eric Dane and Rebecca Gayheart of their drug scandal.
Wasn't even a year ago they made headlines for some sex tape and cocaine report. Click here for a refresher. A few weeks ago they had a baby girl. Suddenly it's all happiness and perfection, on the cover of Us Weekly, posing with their "miracle", gushing about the transformative power of little Billie.
Put your lighters in the air, and all the mommas say yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah
Suddenly the MiniVan is all over it. Motherhood, fatherhood, parenthood: it's the all purpose fix for every asshole.

Gnosomai Emauton wrote:[
Nuit is above us and in us. Her naked splendour is the gemmèd azure above. She is infinite space, and the infinite stars thereof, the omnipresent continuity of existence, the blue-lidded daughter of sunset, the naked brilliance of the voluptuous night-sky.
We are all of her, and She is everything and No Thing.
8=3 is a human grade of attainment.
Gnosomai Emauton wrote:
Nor am I particularly interested in parsing the words of a few lines in Liber Tzaddi that you believe are a call to Nietzsche the (****) out of all the oddballs and weirdos of society.
Should we not rather breed humanity for quality by killing off any tainted stock, as we do with other cattle? And exterminating the vermin which infect it, especially Jews and Protestant Christians? -Crowley in The Law Is for All, p. 37
Mercurius wrote:I sense a butt hurt in the force? No one wanted to read the article and have a discussion?
gerry456 wrote:Gnosomai, Nietzsche is actually unique amongst philosophers due to his total reevaluation of European philosophy. Anything Socratic and post-Socratic in fact so your attempt to keep on lumping him in with the others is totally missing it.
I'm talking about a thread where if i'm not mistaken Jim explained that Nuit is the ultimate identity or attainment.
Well yes Tzaddi is Crowley at his most Nietszchean.
He wrote, elsewhere if i'm not mistaken that Nietzsche was "almost an avatar of Thoth".
Gnosomai Emauton wrote:You're welcome to hold that opinion if it suits you, but you seem to be reading past what I said in order to put Nietzsche up on that pedestal. My comment was in response to you claiming that Crowley is Nietzschean. I was critiquing that bit of reduction by making the analogy "If Crowley can be reduced to Nietzsche, then Nietzsche can be reduced to Schopenhauer," both of which are obvious over-generalizations. Some of Crowley's writing can be seen to have derived from Nietzsche (or Burton, or Eckartshausen, or Swinburn, or Rabelais) in much the same way that some of Nietzsche's can be see to have derived from Schopenhauer (or Wagner, or Hegel, or Kant, or whomever you please, all the way back to Socrates if you like); but some of it most certainly does not. Reducing him with the label "Nietzschean" glosses over this in a most unhelpful way.
Gnosomai Emauton wrote:As I've demonstrated above, She is the ultimate, though I might not use the word "identity". I'd have to see the actual wording to know what you (or he) mean by ultimate attainment. I would presume he's speaking of the ultimate unification of the individual with the All which is Not: i.e. the Union of Hadit and Nuit.
Gnosomai Emauton wrote:]Well yes Tzaddi is Crowley at his most Nietszchean.
Gnosomai Emauton wrote:Yes, in his Confessions. He also wrote that Eckenstein was an Ipsissimus, that Agustus John was a "supreme genus", that Burton was his "hero", etc. etc... None of these do anything to define the man, in toto. They are all notes in the symphony, some louder at times than at others.
Hitting one note over and over doesn't make for very interesting music.
gerry456 wrote:Anyway "seek me only" 1:32 and "to me to me" 1:62 to 1:65 alludes to the Hierophantic task and means work to scale yourself up the sephirothic grades, that was my point.
gerry456 wrote:Yeah the statement "Crowley is Nietzschean" is limiting but , as I keep saying, he doesn't repeatedly refer to Eckenstein et al in The Old and New Comment but he does namecheck Nietzsche a fair bit. The Liber Al commentaries is where Thelema is defined. The Confessions were just a general hagiography so y'see this isn't one of mu hobby horses, i'm looking at it in The Liber Al comments. It's there for all to see.
Gnosomai Emauton wrote:[
Huh... I wouldn't have connected either of those verses to the Hierophantic task or the sephirothic grades. Where do you see that connection?
Gnosomai Emauton wrote:[My copy of the Old and New Comment only namechecks him twice (II.21 & III.57). I'll grant you that in the first of those he specifically says "There is a good deal of the Nietzschean standpoint in this verse," but he doesn't extend that viewpoint beyond the verse to the other 219 of the book. Nor did he ever waver in his claim that Aiwass wrote the book, not him.
gerry456 wrote:When I say Nietzschean this includes harsh critiques of Christianity.
Ok I appreciate that you're criticising my logical expression and reductionism in defining A as B i.e. Crowley as Nietzchean I..e in the great span of the aeons these are merely two modern thinkers and nothing under the sun is original however, once again you're not appreciating the revolutionary impact of Nietzsche's work.
Gnosomai Emauton wrote:gerry456 wrote:When I say Nietzschean this includes harsh critiques of Christianity.
So, when you said "he does namecheck Nietzsche a fair bit," what you meant was not that he actually references Nietzsche but that he's regularly anti-Christian and occasionally chauvinist? OK, if that's what you and the alt-right hack are calling "pedantic", I'll take it. To me, clarifying that level of over-generalization is just the basic critical thinking necessary for rational discourse.

The lady in red.
My summer of volunteer in Spiti leads me to a nunnery in the Morang village of the valley, in the backdrop of snow-hooded Himalayas and on the shore of the Spiti River. To conceptualize a new volunteer program for Ecosphere, the organization I'm volunteering with, I'm spending an evening with a nun to learn about her life. I'm a little anxious; the closest I've been to a nunnery is in the wanderings of my curious mind, and the last thing I want to do is cross the thin line into insensitivity.

Let $n \ge 2$ be some positive integer. Given a norm $p : \mathbb{R}^n \to \mathbb{R}$, one can inquire about the structure and properties of its isometry group, i.e. the group of all bijections $F:\mathbb{R}^{n}\to\mathbb{R}^{n}$ such that $p\left(v\right)=p\left(F\left(v\right)\right)$ for all $v \in \mathbb{R}^n$. By the Mazur-Ulam theorem, the isometries of $p$ are affine transformations, so the subgroup $Iso_{0}\left(p\right)$ of all isometries which fix the origin, consists of linear transformations, and is therefore a closed subgroup of $GL_n (\mathbb{R})$. Essentially, $Iso_{0}\left(p\right)$ is what we get after modding out the obvious distance-preserving functions (the translations), which have no relation to $p$ whatsoever.
For some norms, $Iso_{0}\left(p\right)$ is a very small group. For instance, if $p$ is either the $\ell^\infty$ norm or the $\ell^1$ norm, then the group of $Iso_{0}\left(p\right)$ is finite, and this seems to be the case for all $\ell^q$ norms other than $q=2$. On the other hand, for the euclidean norm ($p = \ell^2$), $Iso_{0}\left(p\right)$ is quite a rich group: it is a Lie group of positive dimension (which increases significantly with $n$) - the orthogonal group $O(n)$.
Obviously, a significant difference between this norm and other possible norms is that it arises from an inner product on $\mathbb{R}^n$. Since there is only one inner product structure on $\mathbb{R}^n$ (up to conjugacy) this essentially gives us just one example of a norm with a rich group of linear isometries. So my questions are:
- Are there any other norms (not induced by an inner product) on $\mathbb{R}^n$ which have a rich group of linear isometries? Here let me define "rich" as having positive dimension as a Lie subgroup of $GL_n (\mathbb{R})$ (every closed linear group is canonically a submanifold of $GL_n (\mathbb{R})$ compatible with the group structure).
- If not, why is the property of being induced from an inner product the "right" condition for having many symmetries? That is, from a geometric point of view, why does this property make the norm especially "symmetric" or "smooth"?

Late Monday night, baseball fans in New York City and Arlington probably felt like the Grinch just stole their biggest present while fans in the City of Brotherly Love caught Santa dropping off a gift that was beyond their wildest dreams in the form of a 6'3" fireballing left hander.
In a shocking move, Texas Rangers pitcher Cliff Lee turned down the Yankees and Rangers and will return to his former team, the Philadelphia Phillies, according to reports from ESPN.
A Rangers front office source told Richard Durret of ESPNDallas.com that Lee had reached an agreement with the Phillies. According to other sources, Lee's deal is for five years and $120 million with an option for a sixth year.
The signing ends the race for the biggest name free agent pitcher on the market and gives the Phillies an excellent opportunity to reach the National League Championship Series for the third year in a row.
"We're disappointed but now we can move on and look at other ways to improve the team," Rangers G.M. Jon Daniels said. "We still have every expectation to win this year. It's hard to take fault with Cliff's decision when he chooses a spot that he and his family are comfortable, have a chance to win. He was a part of the most successful team in club history, to this point, and we thank him for his role here."
The Rangers offered the former Cy Young winner a six-year deal with a possible option for a seventh while the Yankees also presented the 32-year-old all star with a six-year, $132 million deal with an optional seventh year.
Lee came to the Phillies in a 2009 trade from the Cleveland Indians, but was later moved to the Seattle Mariners. The Phillies then made a deal to pick up Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Roy Halladay before the 2010 season.
Though Lee was traded away from Philly, multiple reports suggest that he developed a strong bond to his teammates and the city and was open to returning if the team could put together a competetive offer.
The Phillies will now sport a rotation featuring Lee, Halladay, Cole Hamels and Roy Oswalt. The foursome went a combined 58-43 in 2010 and will match up well against the World Series-winning San Francisco Giants who have an equally intimidating front line with Tim Lincecum, Matt Cain, Madison Bumgarner, and Jonathan Sanchez.
Lee, whose career record is 102-61 with a 3.85 ERA, is known for his post-season prowess. He carries a 7-2 playoff record with a 2.31 ERA over the last two seasons and was unbeaten in October until losing consecutive starts to the Giants in the World Series.

Create a custom Node.js application
Many users run a Bitnami stack as a development environment for their own projects (as opposed to running third-party applications). To create a custom Node.js application from scratch, follow the steps below. These steps assume that your application will live in the /opt/bitnami/apps/myapp/ directory:
Run the following commands to create the directories:
$ sudo mkdir -p /opt/bitnami/apps/myapp $ sudo mkdir /opt/bitnami/apps/myapp/conf $ sudo mkdir /opt/bitnami/apps/myapp/htdocs
Create and edit the /opt/bitnami/apps/myapp/conf/httpd-prefix.conf file and add the line below to it:
Include "/opt/bitnami/apps/myapp/conf/httpd-app.conf"
Create and edit the /opt/bitnami/apps/myapp/conf/httpd-app.conf file and add the content below to it. This is the main configuration file for your application, so modify it further depending on your application's requirements.
ProxyPass / http://127.0.0.1:3000/ ProxyPassReverse / http://127.0.0.1:3000/
NOTE: 3000 is the default port for the Express server. If you have customized your application to use a different port, change it here as well.
Once you have created the files and directories above, add the following line to the end of the main Apache configuration file at /opt/bitnami/apache2/conf/bitnami/bitnami-apps-prefix.conf, as shown below:
Include "/opt/bitnami/apps/myapp/conf/httpd-prefix.conf"
Restart the Apache server:
$ sudo /opt/bitnami/ctlscript.sh restart apache
Start the Express server:
$ cd /opt/bitnami/apps/myapp/htdocs $ ./bin/www
Alternatively, use the following command to start the server and keep it running even after your server session ends. Replace FILE with the correct filename for your application.
$ forever start FILE.js
Although your application is now available, you may not be able to access it immediately. This is because the Express server runs on port 3000 by default, and Bitnami stacks on some platforms have this port closed for security reasons. To access the application, you will need to create an SSH tunnel to the port.

|Common Name:
|Brazilian Red and White
|Year of Discovery:
|Tarantula World:
|New World
Their Natural Habitat:
|Subtropical humid forests and savannahs of Paraguay and Brazil. These are a burrowing species that becomes bolder with size/age.
|Please note that individuals can vary in temperament widely. This species is noted for being particularly aggressive and defensive, readily throwing a threat display and flicking its particularly irritating urticating hairs. In my experience, I have found these and Nhandus in general to be highly skittish and panicky, scampering for cover if they can find it. I have also found that they DO calm down with some work, and my last big girl would snuggle down in my palm to sleep.
|I have found these to grow quite fast. They are tiny slings at 3/8at 2nd instar. My first big girl grew to close to 7 diagonal leg span within two years. 5.5 to 6 is the normal size they attain.
Experience Level:
|These are an intermediate level tarantula as they are particularly defensive, fiesty, or skittish. They readily throw up threat poses and kick hairs. Their hairs are particularly irritating as well.
|These subtropical spiders do well with warmer temps. 78-82oF during the day, 68-72oF at night.
|70-80% humidity during most of the year. They have a dry season in their native lands of around 60%.
|As a larger terrestrial species, these do well with some space. 5-10-gallon tanks should be adequate, with 10-gallon better. A fall from even a short distance could be fatal, so keep the distance from the top of the enclosure to the substrate no more than 1.5 times the diagonal leg span of the spider (9 inches).
|Eco Earth (coconut husk). You may make a mix of Vermiculite and Eco Earth (75/25). From my experience, Peat Moss does cultivate molds very easily, and thus would not be recommended for this species. Avoid any Evergreen woods (Cypress, Reptile Bark) inside of the enclosure. Evergreen woods contain natural insecticidal oils that can harm your tarantula if exposed long enough. Isopods (rolly-polies, or pill bugs) are agood cleaner to keep in the substrate that will help reduce the risk of mold. Molds can also be inhibited by allowing the substrate to dryout completely (just keep the water dish filled). But isopods require moist environments, so do not dry it out if you keep them in the tank.
Nhandu chromatus will like to move dirt around from time to time. Spiderlings and juveniles will do more burrowing than adults.
|Crickets, meal worms, wax worms, superworms, Blaptica dubia or Blatta lateralis roaches. Please do not offer wild caught prey, as it may contain pesticides (and potential parasites) which can harm or kill your tarantula. Also never feed your tarantula kingworms (giant mealworms) as these are mealworms that have been fed juvenile growth hormones to prevent them from maturing so they grow bigger. JGH are a common insecticide and would not be good for your invertebrate tarantula! (I received this from a personal conversation with a cricket/worm breeder near me). Furthermore, online information often recommends feeding larger tarantulas an occasional baby mouse (i.e. pinky); this is not recommended here on the grounds that the extra calcium can be harmful to their exoskeletons.
Nhandu chromatus is a voracious feeder and fun to watch eat. If given the opportunity, they will try to stuff as many crickets into their fangs as they can. They seem to love to eat. Yet my experience (and that of others here) are that their appetites drop off once they mature.
|Make sure to offer a water bowl, the size should be half the size of the spider. Do not use any sponges, cotton balls or paper towel (as these are breeding grounds for bacteria) or water crystals inside of water bowl, just clean water. Small rocks may be added. Clean the water bowl once a week or when you feel it is necessary. Crickets or roaches may end up dead in the water, in which case you should clean it right away. Spiderlings are too small to have a water bowl, misting one side of the enclosure wall 1-2 times aweek, should be plenty enough. Your tarantula may often fill the dish with substrate, or even poop in it, but continue to provide clean water. Also I periodically wet the substrate, allowing that to dry out completely to prevent mold growth.
Maturity female:
|Females may take 2-4 years to mature, and live for up to 15 years. Increasing temperature and/ or feeding schedule can shorten these times.
Maturity male/ Tibial Apophysis:
|Yes, males have tibial apophysis. They may take 1.5-3 years to mature and live less than a year after maturing. Increasing temperature and/or feeding schedule can shorten these times.
Communal Setup:
|No. These are not communal at all. Do not attempt to house these together unless breeding a male and female, and then, keep a close eye on them as she can be particularly aggressive towards him initially.
Color Markings:
|A most striking spider with a velvety black base, white stripes down the knees and tibia, blond or pale carapace that darkens with age, and bright red highlight setae on the abdomen.
Special Note:
|The Nhandu chromatus is a very hardy and inexpensive, yet entertaining and strikingly beautiful tarantula. As they are one of the most prolific reproducing tarantluas in the hobby (with sacs from up to 1,500 spiderlings) their supply is rarely lacking in the hobby, so they are one of the less expensive species on the market.
Make sure never to keep a Tarantula enclosure directly in the sun. No light is necessary for your Tarantulas habitat. Natural lighting is perfectly fine. Nhandus seem particularly panicky in direct sunlight, seeking shade as fast as they can find it.
Read more about them on our fan club page:
CITES List
|These are not on the CITES II list (as far as I can see), but captive-bred specimens are available.

|Drug: Enfuvirtide-intensified HAART
|Not Applicable
While an HIV infected patient is taking highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), drug-resistant HIV may emerge; however, it has been observed that HIV viral loads while on HAART are usually lower than baseline levels. Expansion of the T cell population during early HAART may explain this phenomenon. It is hoped that a short but aggressive HAART regimen to treatment-experienced patients who have drug-resistant virus will produce immune cells that will better control drug-resistant virus. This study will determine if a 6-month HAART regimen intensified by enfuvirtide (T-20) is effective in eliciting a stronger immune response against drug-resistant virus.
This study will last 48 weeks. All participants will receive T-20 as part of a HAART intensification regimen; HAART other than T-20 will not be provided by the study. There will be 17 study visits. Prior to beginning treatment intensification, participants will have weekly study visits for three weeks. Once treatment intensification has started, participants will be followed weekly for four weeks, then weekly for four weeks after treatment intensification, then monthly thereafter. Blood collection will occur at each visit.

Conference: Global Implications of U.S. Self-Sufficiency in Oil and Gas

On December 6, 2013, the Center for Global Business Studies held a conference to study the global implications of U.S. self-sufficiency in oil and gas. Though the United States has always been a resource-abundant country, it still was dependent on oil from other countries and the dependence had grown over time, as the nation was unable to produce as much as its people consumed. Thanks to advancements in technology and a regulatory permissive environment that has allowed the country to exploit unconventional drilling, however, the U.S. has recently witnessed rapid, unprecedented growth in shale oil and gas production. As a result, by the close of this decade, the United States is expected to be a net exporter in gas. Additionally, the country expects to see a large decrease in its oil imports.
Predictably this change will certainly affect the United States, but will it have ramifications on a global scale? As discussed during the Dec. 6 conference, the short answer is yes. Inherently, though, the full answer is much more complex. It's at first vital to note the numerous geopolitical implications of an energy self-sufficient United States. Historically, the United States has relied on the Middle East as its energy source. Because of this position, the region's stability has been a large concern for the United States and the country's own allies. Previously, the country has thus tried to police the region, securing trade routes and monitoring politics and relations to ensure inexpensive access to production sites' reserves. With the shifting dynamic, however, instability in the region might economically behoove the United States because the country could then position itself as the cheap provider of energy. Additionally, if the United States pulls out as policeman by changing its foreign policy, then other countries, such as China, Japan, and Korea, will be challenged to become more involved.
Although the United States will eventually be a gas exporter, this change won't come cheaply. Because it's incredibly expensive to liquify and to transport gas, the process will be expensive and complicated, requiring U.S. companies to invest in new technologies and equipment. Nonetheless, due to the substantial gas price difference — as gas, unlike oil, is expensive and difficult to transport — the U.S. will make the investment. The U.S.' logical export markets will be Europe and the far east, though demand will likely come from European countries given their present situation. Currently, Europe relies heavily on Russian gas, but historically negotiations have not been easy. By seeking U.S. gas, Europe will garner a more secure position in the world.
In addition to changing gas trade patterns, the United States' gas self-sufficiency will also affect the manufacturing industry. Because the price of gas is significantly cheaper in the U.S. (for reference, prices are a third of what they are in Europe and a sixth of what they are in China and Japan), industries that use gas to manufacture their products will increasingly turn to the U.S., with its expansion and new production facilities, for development.
While it's expected that the United States will become a net exporter in gas, the future expected North American self-sufficiency in oil production will also have impacts on a global scale. As oil consumption in the United States continues to decrease, it's foreseeable that the country will use its refineries to export refined products to consuming nations in South America.
Regardless, the United States must be cautious in the way it proceeds in this shifting energy landscape. "It's a good news story [for the U.S.], but we have to do something smart about it," said Sarah Ladislaw, who was the conference's keynote speaker. "One of the greatest dangers that we have is to try to overplay our hand."
Managing Director of Research at ClearView Energy Partners LLC Kevin Book, President and Interim Director at the Center for Sustainable Shale Development Andrew Place, and a specialist in Energy Policy at the Congressional Research Service Michael Ratner joined Ladislaw, Co-Director and Senior Fellow of the Energy and Security Program for Strategic and International Studies, to share their knowledge on U.S. energy self-sufficiency. During the later portion of the conference, the speakers also addressed the possible environmental impacts of this increased unconventional production. Advisor to the Governor of Ohio and Former Vice Chairman of Ernst & Young Jim Boland and Center Founding Director Fariborz Ghadar moderated the conference.

SAG Awards 2009 Articles
2009 SAG Awards hilights, gossip, photos, and video.
SAG Worst: Eva Longoria
What is the point of Eva Longoria? What is the reason for Eva Longoria? Is there a reason for Eva Longoria? I don't understand. Like, this dress. This dress, the colour, this colour is for food. Some food colours don't belong on a dress. This food colour doesn't belong on this dress. Full Story
Best SAG: Evan Rachel Wood
Colour, cut, fit, shoes (SHOEs!!!)…without question, last night belonged to Evan Rachel Wood. Marilyn Manson clouds are receding… Evan Rachel Wood is re-emerging. And how. She has been perfect all awards season. Cannot wait for Oscar. As for those of you who still won't forgive her for Dita homewreckage – I'll argue for her: She was a child with lofty ideals and naïve underdog sympathies. Full Story
SAG Robo Why?
Katie Holmes presenting Best Actor? Why? Because she's married to the Gay Midget Dwarf? Because her Little Sci is Hollywood's most popular baby? Because the MiniVan Majority wants it to be? Yes, yes, and yes. At the very least then, Katie knew her role. She did not walk the carpet. But of course not. Full Story
SAG Don't Bother: The Brange
They were noticeably more chatty last night, right? They worked the press line separately and even stopped for E! because there was no Seacrest… not that Guiliana DeSh-ts didn't do her best to annoy them: - Have you become a better woman/man since being with Brad Pitt/the Jolie?- What have you learned from falling for him/her? … the f-ck? Both soured. Full Story
SAG Best Couple: Sean Penn
Forget Robin's saggy sateeny dress. It's unflattering yes. But they look great together. Whatever holds it together. And it's HIM. Sean Penn is all sex. There was never a question as to why he's the love of Madonna's life. Of course he was. The danger. The attitude. The artist. Full Story
SAG Saving Up: Penelope Cruz
Is she in a hair rut? I feel like she's in a hair rut. And a dress rut too. Like, enough with the flared bottom mermaid business. It's tired. And while black is never bad, and of course she doesn't look bad, she also looks boring. Seen it a thousand times, almost as though she didn't care. Full Story
SAG Ladies and Ralph: Meryl, Susan, Kristin
Awards season means the likes of Lauren Conrad are shoved to the side…have you noticed? It's time for real stars, real celebrity, so f-ck off reality twats because Meryl Streep has just won a SAG. Wearing a pantsuit. Heh. Love that Meryl is never super appreciative. That she doesn't have to be. Full Story
SAG Prom: Freida Pinto
Please. Find her a stylist. Or sack the existing one. It's a crime this girl, as gorgeous as she is, cannot live up to her true potential on a big night. Because at every major carpet this season, Freida Pinto is wearing a prom dress. SAG was no exception. It's the colour. Gross. It's the old lady weaving in the chest area that screams Arlene's Dress Shoppe – for all your fancy occasions! Brutal. Full Story
Best SAG Reese Witherspoon: Tina Fey
Two years ago at the Golden Globes, ready to emerge from her divorce, Reese Witherspoon showed up at the Globes wearing a bright yellow strapless cocktail length Nina Ricci in one of the freshest looks of the season. It's a different colour and obviously not exactly the same, but something about Tina Fey reminded me of Reese last night. Full Story
Worst SAG White: Teri Hatcher
Desperate Housewives is still bringing big ratings. This explains why they're still invited. But really…it's not 2004 anymore. People may care about the show, but no one cares about the actors. So far all intents and purposes, it's like they're CSI, you know what I mean? This must be why they insist on slapping us in the face on the carpet for fear we won't notice. Full Story
Worst SAG neutral: American Ferrera
Washed her out. Badly. She has such beautiful skin. Normally it pops. The taupe stopped the pop. The taupe killed the pop. Duana took issue with the chest area. The way the tulle is pinned - it's a mess. And look closely. See if you can zoom in to where the bodice meets the skirt. The exposed stitching…it's WHITE. Full Story

Kenyon Martin seeks new representation as he preps for free agency
Longtime Nuggets forward Kenyon Martin will enter NBA free agency –- whenever that'll be –- without his longtime agent. Martin confirmed via text message that he's parted ways with Brian Dyke, the passionate agent who had been with the power forward since the early days in New Jersey.
Martin confirmed he is seeking new representation as he prepares for what could be the last big contract of his career. The 2010-11 season was the last on that seven-year, $90-plus million contract, which had been the topic of conversation – and, to some, consternation – for years here in Denver. Before last season began, Martin had expressed desire to get an extension, but that didn't happen.

By now, most wine lovers know Chile as a source for excellent Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon Blanc. Those paying closer attention also realize that there is terrific Pinot Noir and Chardonnay reaching our shores from Chile. That, however, is just the entrée into the remarkable diversity and quality that Chile offers, often at outstanding price-points that will make you take note. Among the reasons that so many diverse grapes flourish in Chile is the regional diversity. Whether we're talking about valley floors, mountain ranges or vineyards influenced by ocean breezes, Chile has them all — and more.
One of the things that particularly struck me when I was down in Chile was the number of aromatic white wines being produced by some wineries. Sometimes, they were small production items for larger wineries; in other cases, part of their main line of wines. The bottom line is that there are many wines in this general category worth both the time and money of interested wine lovers. With that in mind, I sat down and tasted some offerings that fit the grouping, and selected three standouts to look at.
First up is the Cono Sur 2012 Bicicleta Viognier. This wine was produced using hand-harvested fruit from the Colchagua region of Chile. It is a 100 percent varietal wine. Fermentation was accomplished in stainless steel tanks followed by eight months of aging. This wine most often sells for right around $10. Apricots, Lychee fruit and hints of white pepper all but explode from the nose of this Viognier. Peach and apricot star on the light palate that practically bounces on the tongue with enticing fruity goodness. Lemon zest, minerals and continues spice make up the finish, which has nice length. This is a crisp and refreshing wine that is vibrant and alive; if it could speak it would scream summer. I taste a lot of wine every week and there are those that — even though I like them a lot — I can put down easily. This Viognier from Cono Sur was not one of those. It is so mellifluous and engaging that I was compelled to keep drinking it
The Meli 2011 Riesling was produced entirely from fruit sourced in the Maule region. The fruit for this wine is 100 percent Riesling and was entirely hand-harvested. Fermentation took place over two weeks in stainless steel tanks. This offering most often sells for right around $12. White flower and stone fruit aromas abound on the nose of this Riesling. The palate is gentle and layered with continued stone fruit joined by spice and almond characteristics. The finish shows off tiny touches of mesquite honey and petrol. This is a perfectly dry, remarkably crisp wine that's delicious on its own, and also paired with lighter foods.
Finally, we have the Anakena 2011 ONA White Blend. This offering combines Riesling (43 percent), Chardonnay (42 percent), and Viognier (15 percent). The fruit was sourced at the winery's Las Brisas Vineyard in Leyda Valley. After fermentation, this wine was barrel-aged for approximately nine months. This wine most often sells for right around $15. Golden delicious apple, lemon and Lychee fruit aromas are present on the nose of this blend from Anakena. The palate is loaded with flavors that are simultaneously diverse and harmonious in their cohesion. Peach, apricot, bits of lemon zest and hints of orchard fruit are all present, along with spices galore. Bits of Granny Smith apple and green herb emerge on the finish, which is crisp, clean and pleasing. This wine grabs you and makes you reach back for sip after delicious sip.
With the warm weather months here I find myself reaching for white wine more often than not. In fact, I generally always have a few bottles chilled, whether it's to pair with the lighter foods of summer or simply to sip on my deck. There is something about the warmth of the season that brings out my desire to drink whites far more often than at other times of the year. These three wines from Chile are perfectly suited for drinking all summer. They're aromatic, refreshing and loaded with character. Each of them also represents an excellent value. I heartily recommend them and hope they're a jumping off point for the exploration of the bounty that Chile offers in diverse, well-made, fantastically priced, aromatic white wines. There is no end to the diversity that Chile offers; even these wines are from three unique regions. The more of Chile you taste, the more impressed you're bound to be.

Our RiskRating system helps you quickly identify the upside & downside risk for any stock. By assessing the annualised price volatility we can classify stocks into 5 categories:
There is much evidence that small caps, on average, outperform large caps over the long term, though in recent decades this has become more disputed. Many academic papers have shown that micro-caps, the very smallest companies, tend to be priced like 'Lottery Tickets' and have negative aggregate returns. As small caps and large caps can outperform at different times, diversification across size groups is often highly recommended.
Based on the same algorithms used to create our StockRank™; the StockRank Style goes a step further to categorise stocks based on their strengths in weaknesses in 3 areas. Quality, Value & Momentum - the 3 driving forces behind historically excellent returns.
We classify the market into 10 defined Sectors: Financials, Basic Materials, Energy, Consumer Defensive, Consumer Cyclical, Telecoms, Utilities, Healthcare, Industrials and Technology. These each belong to 1 of 3 Super Sectors we call Cyclicals, Defensives and Sensitives.
