Today's Platter Talk Recipe is graciously provided to us by Dr. Shreyashi Ganguly, the cat loving Bengali physician who cooks and writes. Be sure to visit her wonderful food site, And Cakes Too.
Perfect One-Pan Creamy Leek Capellini – My one-pan creamy leek capellini marries aromatic leek, savoury olives, chilli flakes and a flavourful chicken stock balanced in a yummy cream sauce.; the very definition of comfort food. Confession time. This post almost didn't make it through to being published. The problem started when I made this Perfect One-Pan Creamy Leek Capellini the first time last Friday. It was delicious and filling and the very definition of everything that is good in the world. Becoming agog with my own "brilliance" I obviously wanted to share it with you guys. So I made the creamy leek capellini again on Saturday. Naturally!
But alas, before I could finish taking the pictures, soon as I was done shooting the video, Manish had swooped in and devoured most of it. And to be fair, I followed suit promptly. Running in to this weird dilemma of cooking yet not being able to present, I decided that I will make the dish one final time for Monday's bagged lunch. And that is how I finally managed to get this post together. Phew!
This recipe is very easy. Just get your cast iron skillet out and cook it in a few minutes. Adjust the final seasoning, pour in some olive oil or sprinkle grated parmesan on top to make it even more special and you are done.
I absolutely adore leeks. Yes they look weird (more like aliens from Men In Black) and they are a fuss to clean but they taste so good. I will eat just about anything with leeks. Specially leeks and mushroom. Leeks and cream. Leeks and potatoes. Oh I digress!
It couldn't be simpler my friend.
- Just trim the roots and discard.
- Next trim the super green leafy bits at the other end. [ Don't throw them away though. They are awesome in stocks. Check my BASS method for making ordinary stocks better.]
- Now cut the leeks in half lengthwise.
- Run each half under water in a sink and clean it off of any grubby bits.
- Slice the clean leek crosswise and use in any dish calling for it.
So now that the leek is ready for our creamy leek capellini, what are we waiting for? Oh yes, the olives.
When you buy olives in jars, please buy them whole with the pits still inside. If you want you can do a side-by-side taste test (like I did) and you will be surprised how wonderful olives can taste, when the god-awful brine doesn't permeate all of it's flesh. Gordon Ramsay certainly concurs with the same and urges people to try the whole thing.
From the view point of a hurried cook, I understand the concern many of you have. Sliced olives are so easy to toss in to things. Yes of course they are. But when did convenience become synonymous with delicious? And why would you think whole olives with their pits intact are difficult to work with.
- Use the blade of chef's knife to crush the olive (like you do with cloves of garlic).
- The pit of the olive should simply come out.
- Now you chop up the olive and voila!
And whole olives are also my favourite snacks.
So on to the recipe today. Serve it with a side salad and cherry tomatoes. And if you are so inclined with a glass of your favourite white wine and let the culinary musings begin. Don't forget to come back Thursday when I bring you a fruit-y creation that is as versatile as it is addictive.

Red Bull may "give you wings", but at what cost? To some, energy beverages are dangerous elixirs, while others consider them cure-alls of vitality? The reality about how they affect your body is not so black and white.
Are Energy Drinks Good for You Health or Not?
To get to the bottom of this caffeine-packed can, we talked to Kamal Patel, the Director of Examine.com. Right off the bat, Patel describes that understanding energy beverages and their ingredients is complicated:
Part of the factor there are so many mistaken beliefs is that the umbrella classification "energy beverages" is more heterogeneous than practically any other classification. Often it's simply caffeine plus some kooky active ingredients that don't do anything, often it's high levels of active ingredients, and in some cases they overlap with ergogenic helps targeted at professional athletes.
It would be difficult to cover each and every single drink out there that declares to be an "energy drink," however popular brands like Red Bull, Monster, Rockstar, and 5-Hour Energy all have a lot in common when it pertains to their special "energy mix". For the functions of this article, we'll focus on those. But as constantly, inspect the active ingredients list yourself and see how your drink of option stacks up.
Popular Energy Drink Serving Sizes
|1/2 cup (4 fl oz)
|1 cup (8 fl oz)
|1 bottle (12 fl oz)
Common Energy Drink Ingredients (and What They Do)
Before we can discuss how energy drinks affect your body, you have to know what they're made from. Here are some of the most common supplements found in popular energy drinks, and what they do:
Taurine is a naturally occurring amino acid that plays numerous fundamental biological functions. If you're a moderately healthy individual, you likely produce the taurine your body requires by yourself. According to Katherine Zeratsky, R.D., L.D., at Mayo Clinic, an average energy drink will have about 1,000 milligrams of taurine per 8-ounce serving, which is considered safe by medical scientists. Zeratsky suggests that taurine might help with mental and physical performance, but there's little proof to support it. It may, nevertheless, assist your eyes if you take a look at a screen all the time, inning accordance with Patel. One study, led by M. Zhang and released in Amino Acids, suggests that regular taurine supplementation helps in reducing and relieve visual fatigue typically connected with visual screen terminals.
Guarana is really a plant that grows in the Amazon, and is commonly discovered in Brazil. It's not the plant itself that you're ingesting, however, it's the seeds; which have been used by native individuals of the Amazon to increase their energy and awareness for centuries. Inning accordance with Erica Bub and Karla Shelnutt, PhD, RD, at the University of Florida, the chemical component of guarana that offers you energy is really simply naturally occurring caffeine. In fact, guarana has the greatest caffeine material of other plant out there. That suggests it's effect on you is basically the same as caffeine's. Still, as Patel discusses, there's been a lot of research to see if guarana has any extra impacts on individuals aside from its caffeine content. A current study, released in the Journal of Negative Results in Biomedicine, recommends that industrial items containing guarana have no major impact on your mood, stress and anxiety, or psychological well-being. Essentially, it's equivalent to ingesting caffeine, which can be great if you respond well to caffeine, however we'll review that major supplement more in the future.
Ginseng is a medical herb that has actually long been believed to improve physical efficiency, focus, and memory (particularly when taken in mix with another herb, ginkgo biloba). Patel says there is no frustrating proof of ginseng being hazardous for many people, particularly in the short term. In fact, Patel explains that there may be some possible advantages beyond getting energy fast:
- A current meta-analysis presented preliminary proof that Ginseng, a popular active ingredient in energy drinks, might potentially have a positive effect (though modest) on fasting blood sugar levels in both people with and without type 2 diabetes. Two randomized controlled trials, which were released a year after the meta-analysis, provided additional proof in assistance of ginseng and its prospective role in improving blood sugar policy in individuals with impaired glucose tolerance or type 2 diabetes.
That being said, the United States National Library of Medicine suggests that long-term use (more than 6 months of regular ingestion) may cause insomnia, and possibly disrupt proper drug action of particular medications such as insulin, oral hypoglycemic representatives, blood slimmers, and diuretics. But this might be moot, due to the fact that according to Bub and Shelnutt, the amount of ginseng frequently found in energy beverages is less than the amount generally considered to be advantageous anyhow. We do not actually understand enough about ginseng yet to state whether it's good or bad, but if your only source of it is the occasional energy drink (rather than everyday supplement tablets), you're most likely great.
In basic, you'll most likely find at least 4 B vitamins listed on your energy drink's nutritional facts; including vitamin B3 (niacin), vitamin B6 (pyridoxine), vitamin B12 (cobalamin), and vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid). Medical research reveals that a deficiency in some B vitamins can lead to feeling tired out, however inning accordance with the National Institutes of Health, providing your body with more vitamin B than needed does not provide "extra energy." When you ingest more vitamin B than your body requirements, it merely gets lost in your urine. In fact, you most likely currently get most of the B vitamins your body needs from your diet, so the B vitamins in energy beverages are most likely entering and out of you in no time. The NIH recommends that B vitamins are safe for usage, even when your body does not require them, however excessive vitamin B6 can be harmful. Luckily, you 'd have to take in nearly 50 servings of energy beverages to reach any unsafe numbers.
These aren't the only active ingredients you'll find in energy drinks, naturally. Besides a mix of other supplements in extremely small dosages, there are two more significant players when it pertains to energy drink components: sugar and caffeine. Sugar isn't really constantly bad for you, but in high amounts, it's really unhealthy. It's especially unsafe in drink from because you can keep consuming it without your body acknowledging your sugar consumption, meaning you'll stay starving. Unless you opt for a sugar-free variation, the majority of energy drinks have around 30 grams of sugar per serving, and, depending upon the size of the drink itself, you might be ingesting a little meal's worth of calories without providing your body with any important nutrients. The artificial sweeteners used for the sugar-free variations of most energy drinks is a completely various can of worms. These alternatives assist provide the very same previous active ingredients without the refined sugar hit, however there has actually been a great deal of debate over how they may impact your body. In general, there's no clear evidence that sweetening agents are associated with cancer risk in people, however there's a lot left to learn more about them.
Caffeine, on the other hand, is the most popular ingredient in any energy drink, and it's most likely what's giving you any sensation of increased energy. Caffeine enhances your motivation and focus by increasing catecholamine signaling, but this impact can be dampened in time as your body develops a caffeine tolerance. Patel says that as soon as you've developed adequate tolerance, just the wakefulness effects will still be present. So essentially, you will not be able to go to sleep, however you will not feel like you have any extra "energy" either.
How Energy Drinks May Affect Your Body In the Long Term
None of that sounds too bad, right? Patel recommends that the occasional energy drink is probably alright when you're having one of those long days, but regular consumption (daily, for instance) might have unfavorable health effects:.
The majority of research studies on this subject seem associations so causality can not be figured out, however stimulants in big amounts are a cause for issue, specifically on mental health (stimulants required to avoid sleep) and cardiovascular health. The quantities of sugar in some of these can also be a health concern simply based on overall calories, however also from an intestinal viewpoint if they are taken alone and there are complicating elements (e.g. pre-diabetic) … The reason is that energy beverages typically have a great deal of different active ingredients, so it's a crapshoot regarding how they'll impact your health in the long term. In reality, I can picture a House MD type situation where the perpetrator is some strange energy drink that the patient felt they needed to survive every day.
Basically, it's hard to understand specifically what could fail, however there is a great deal of concern over the topic. In truth, just this year an otherwise healthy 26-year old man suffered a heart attack that physicians say may have been triggered by his energy drink practice. Of course, he was likewise stated to have actually downed eight to ten energy drinks a day, making a cardiovascular disease at that age not sound too bizarre. Typically, there isn't a lot of research focused on energy drink use in time, but as Patel discusses, there is one popular active ingredient in which scientists do know the long term impacts: caffeine.
As the majority of caffeine drinkers already understand, habitual caffeine consumption can perhaps result in reliance in some individuals. Withdrawal symptoms, such as headache or tiredness, are somewhat common after short-term consumption of 600 mg or greater each day. In truth, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-5) has formally acknowledged caffeine withdrawal, in addition to caffeine intoxication (the criteria which includes 5 or more symptoms, such as anxiety, uneasyness, tachycardia and intestinal disturbance, that take place right after ingesting an excess of 250mg of caffeine) which can occur at large, intense dosages.
So while we have no idea how some energy drink active ingredients can impact you in the long term, we do know about the most prevalent ingredient. Caffeine is "Generally Recognized as Safe" by the FDA, however there's still reason to be wary of it. In fact, there's a great deal of the issue intended towards energy "shots," like the popular 5-Hour Energy brand name, since of their concealed caffeine material. According to laboratory test commissioned by Forbes, these tiny bottles can have anywhere from 150 to 210mg of caffeine jammed within. Consumer Reports found 5-Hour Energy Extra Strength to have almost 250mg of caffeine, the greatest of any energy drink they checked. In truth, that's no more than a large cup of coffee at Starbucks, but it's all loaded into a small bottle that doesn't say how much caffeine is within. It can be troubling due to the fact that these energy supplements are marketed as more secure, much healthier alternatives to other types of energy drink, when there isn't really a whole lot of distinctions between them. 5-Hour Energy is sugar-free, and contains hardly any calories, however you're still downing the very same high levels of B vitamins and other supplements you 'd find in other energy beverages.
Overall, the FDA cautions customers over energy beverages and "shots," and keeps in mind that consuming them is not an appropriate option to rest or sleep. Moreover, the FDA has actually examined numerous cases of people experiencing unfavorable effects after taking in energy drinks, including a few deaths that may perhaps be linked to them too. Before you spit Rockstar all over your screen, however, keep in mind there just isn't really adequate research to show that energy drinks are safe or hazardous in the long term. Be moderate about your energy drink usage, keep your caffeine intake within reason, and you'll probably be alright.
The Bottom Line
All in all, after scanning around 10 of the most popular energy drink brands, Patel states there is absolutely nothing that's totally unsafe in the dosages present. So, if you definitely need to have an energy drink, we've created a couple of tips in collaboration with Patel for picking a good energy drink:.
- Consider sticking with energy drinks that have a nutrition facts label, so you can see what you're ingesting. As Ruth Litchfield, associate teacher at Iowa State University, explains, energy drink business can market their items as dietary supplements and bypass the FDA approval procedure with a "supplement facts label" that offers you much less details.
- Search for one with a modest amount of caffeine; somewhere around 100mg, which is about the same as a cup of coffee.
- Keep your eye on each energy drink's sugar content. Red Bull, for example, is popular, however also really high in sugar content if you do not grab the sugar-free.
- Make certain to take a look at the actual servings noted on an energy drink's can. A standard serving size for many energy beverages is 8 fluid ounces, but many energy drinks like Monster and Rockstar are available in 16 or 24 fluid ounce cans, so keep that in mind as you consider your alternatives.
- With all of that in mind, nevertheless, Patel still suggests you approach energy beverages with caution:.
That being said, energy beverages are the ultimate band-aid service that can cover actual health issues (like thyroid health, fatigue syndrome, etc). So I don't like the idea of them. My individual technique to energy drinks: the biggest issue might not be the risk of individual active ingredients, but rather that energy drinks could mask health concerns. While it might sound cliche, nobody needs an energy drink.
There are a lot of other methods to wake yourself up and keep energized, number one being getting a great night's rest to begin with. If that's not a choice, grab a nap if you have a long time. Even a cup of coffee is probably a much better option because you're not adding a bunch of other supplements to your caffeine intake. In the meantime, there's inadequate proof to definitively say whether energy beverages are bad for you. In the short term they might be simply fine, however they are absolutely not something you wish to depend on. As with many things, moderation is key.

Freedom of choice or labour-saving device? There's been some concern in certain quarters that some players in the peer-to-peer (P2P) business lending sector of crowdfunding will no longer allow investors on their platforms to choose which specific companies they want to lend money to.
Leading commentator David Prosser, who profiled our CEO in Forbes a little whole ago, states the alternative might work: "Instead, the platform[s] will automatically spread investors' cash across a group of businesses looking for funds – much as a professional collective fund manager in any other asset class chooses investments on behalf of its investors."
The article continues that this move has led to "concerns in some quarters about the way in which the peer-to-peer lending market is maturing – particularly the way in which many platforms are now being used by pension funds and other institutional investors to get exposure to the sector. The launch of the Innovative Finance Individual Savings Account (Isa) last year, which enables investors to use their annual tax-free Isa allowance to invest in peer-to-peer, is also moving the sector away from its roots, attracting a much broader church of mainstream investors, in addition to peer-to-peer enthusiasts. This is partly why regulators have begun looking at the sector in greater detail in recent months.
For individual lenders the fund-management-type product might seem to be a labour-saving device. But what if a would-be lender has a predilection for a certain type of – possibly riskier, higher-yielding – company? The negative impact on freedom of choice is obvious, as is the potential restriction of funds for would-be borrower companies seeking funds.
The Forbes article continues: "For businesses raising money, both now and in the future, the debate is finely balanced. It's certainly good news that significantly more money is now flowing into peer-to-peer, since this will increase the funding available to the small business sector – useful at a time when banks show no signs of wanting to increase their exposure to entrepreneurs. On the other hand, the pooled approach prevents lenders and businesses enjoying a direct relationship, which many entrepreneurs have valued. There are also fears that the leading peer-to-peer companies are now beginning to operate as quasi-banks themselves, choosing which businesses get funding and which don't in the same style as a traditional lender."
Our position at Money&Co. remains unchanged. We are determined to keep the crowd in crowdfunding: "We will continue to bring individuals looking for good returns on capital together with carefully vetted small businesses seeking funds for growth," says Money&Co. CEO, Nicola Horlick. "We happen to have fund-management permissions from the FCA, so we can offer a managed-portfolio service to individuals investing £100,00 or more, but we remain committed to the idea of choice and keeping the crowd in crowdfunding."
As we write this article the two current loan offerings stand as follows; The A-rated GBP 300,000 telephony-company loan of 60 months duration with an indicative interest rate of 8 per cent is 22 per cent subscribed. The A-rated GBP 50,000 36-month loan offered with a fixed interest rate of 9 per cent is 68 per cent subscribed.

August 11th, 2017 5:56 AM by Jackie A. Graves, President
you bought a house with a down payment of less than 20 percent, your lender
required you to buy mortgage insurance. The same goes if you refinanced with
less than 20 percent equity.
Private mortgage insurance is
expensive, and you can remove it after you have met some conditions.
To remove PMI, or private mortgage insurance, you must have at
least 20 percent equity in the home. You may ask the lender to cancel PMI when
you have paid down the mortgage balance to 80 percent of the home's original
appraised value. When the balance drops to 78 percent, the mortgage servicer is
required to eliminate PMI.
Although you can cancel private
mortgage insurance, you cannot cancel Federal Housing Administration insurance.
You can get rid of FHA insurance by refinancing into a non-FHA-insured loan.
Here are steps you can take to
cancel mortgage insurance sooner or strengthen your negotiating position: Refinance: If
your home value has increased enough, the new lender won't require mortgage
mortgage rates are low, as they are now, refinancing can allow you not only to
get rid of PMI, but to reduce your monthly interest payments. It's a
double-whammy of savings.
refinancing tactic works if your home has gained substantial value since the
last time you got a mortgage. For example, if you bought your house four years
ago with a 10 percent down payment, and the home's value has gone up 15 percent
over that time, you now owe less than 80 percent of what the home is worth.
Under these circumstances, you can refinance into a new loan without having to
pay for PMI.
loans have a "seasoning requirement" that requires you to wait at
least two years before you can refinance to get rid of PMI. So if your loan is
less than 2 years old, you can ask for a PMI-canceling refi, but you're not
guaranteed to get approval.
insurance reimburses the lender if you default on your home loan. You, the
borrower, pay the premiums. When sold by a company, it's known as private
mortgage insurance, or PMI. The Federal Housing Administration, a government
agency, sells mortgage insurance, too.
law, your lender must tell you at closing how many years and months it will
take you to pay down your loan sufficiently to cancel mortgage insurance.
servicers must give borrowers an annual statement that shows whom to call for
information about canceling mortgage insurance.
down to 80% or 78%
To calculate whether your loan balance has fallen to 80 percent or
78 percent of original value, divide the current loan balance (the amount you
still owe) by the original appraised value (most likely, that's the same as the
purchase price).
Formula: Current loan balance / Original
appraised value
Example: Dale owes $171,600 on a house that cost $220,000 several
years ago.
$171,600 / $220,000 = 0.78.
That equals 78 percent, so it's time for Dale's mortgage insurance
to be canceled.
a fuller explanation of the above formula, read this article about figuring the loan-to-value ratio to remove PMI.
to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, you have to meet certain
requirements to remove PMI:
can impose stricter rules for high-risk borrowers. You may fall into this
high-risk category if you have missed mortgage payments, so make sure your
payments are up to date before asking your lender to drop mortgage insurance.
Lenders may require a higher equity percentage if the property has been
converted to rental use.

so, i'm sitting here and thinking about different things. sometime this week , I want to go get an icecream, since its going to be warmer this week. But i'm currently in two minds about that.
Part of me wants to go, because, I know its not good for me to rely on people the way I do, and a bit of me doesn't want to go, because its scary to do that. I know I shouldn't feel that way, but my head isn't thinking right really.
I'm trying to think every negative thing and swapp it with something possitive. For example, I was thinking before, what if the cab I travel in crashes? Well, realistically, that could happen in any car i'm travelling in, not just that one.
What if they forget where my house is?
Well, there's GPS for a reason, i guess.
What if I panic and its so strong that I can't get through it?
Well, i've got through lots of panic attacks before, and panic attacks don't mean death, even though they may feel that way at the time, they always pass, then I feel calmer afterwards.
And, if I do this, I will feel happy that i've achieved it. I always feel really good when I achieve things :).??

In a fit of artistic madness I went and made something that might not be entirely without meaning.
Thanks to Zyn, Kalinin, and SoullessSinglularity for the feedback, and telling me that I had to finish it.
note, since people seem confused by my use of the less popular alternate definition: The term "anartist" is here used as "anarchistic artist" and reserved for the most misguided members of AWCY, to differentiate them from serious anomalous artists.
For those still having trouble reconciling this with their headcanon, I suggest comparing the term "spelunker". The dictionary definition is "cave explorer". Anyone using the term around an experienced "caver" will discover, as I did, that it really means "inexperienced, destructive thrill-seekers who irreparably damage caves and endanger the experienced cavers on the rescue crews who inevitably have to save them when they drop their plastic flashlight and break their legs bumbling around in the dark."

Follow Up System In A Box Introduction & Instructions
Congratulations for purchasing the Follow Up System In A Box. You are well on your way to increasing the profits that you experience as an online business owner.
This short introduction is meant to familiarize you with some of the workings of these messages and how you can use them most effectively.
As you noticed, you received 10 word documents with your purchase. Each of these documents is loaded with 10 messages that you can arrange into a follow up sequence based on the action of your prospects.
You'll notice that you have follow up campaigns for subscribers, customers, affiliates, etc which covers the entire spectrum of online business.
It's incredibly essential that you follow up with all of the people who show interest in your business or product offering to make sure that you gain maximum profit potential from all of them.
If you just let people sit dormant on a subscriber list but never mail them, you are in for a world of hurt when it comes to trying to sell to them in the future.
You might be asking yourself the question "Are you saying that mailing my subscribers more will actually keep them more active and responsive?"
And the answer to that is 100% YES!
You see, if someone subscribes to your list and then they don't hear from you for months you run the risk of them not remembering you and just deleting all of your messages or even worse, reporting it as Spam!
That's the whole point of follow up! You build a relationship with your customers, subscribers and affiliates so that they listen and trust what you have to say in the future.
Until now this has been a true pain in the rear and has required tons of writing an maintenance but the good news is that all the work has been done for you in Follow Up System In A Box!
You just plug in the messages for whatever area of your business that you need messages for and you're ready to go!
A quick note on using the messages…
In each of the 10 word documents that you received, you probably noticed that there are a bunch of weird codes at the beginning of each document.
These are called "Tokens"
A token is simply a part of the messaged that requires your attention and customization.
The beginning of each of the 10 documents lists all of the tokens you will find throughout the messages and explains what each is briefly.
All you have to do is go through, insert your personal information and product information where these tokens are and your messages are 100% customized to you!
Sure, we could have just written generic messages that didn't require tokens; it would have been easier for us to do that.
The reason that we didn't do that was because people that get a generic message will actually be more turned off by it than anything and will probably start deleting all of your messages!
That's why we took a considerable amount of extra time and expenditure to create messages that allow you to quickly and easily customize them to your business 100%.
You don't want someone saying "Hey, this guy (or gal) has the same messages as so and so" now do you? That's what these tokens do for you; they give you 100% customization.
I recommend that you read each of the tokens that beginning of each of the word documents so that you can get familiar with the type of information that you are going to need to provide to fill in all of your messages.
The information that you need to provide is pretty easy to put together and really something that can likely be done on the fly as you put the messages into your auto responder.

Everyone has one band that turns them onto a scene and become more aware of what's going on. Back in the 90's, Nirvana turned more than half of America onto the grunge scene in Seattle. However, it doesn't always have to be the biggest band in the world. It could be a smaller band that has a big sound. The Tits were one of those bands. I never knew shit about the Nashville music scene until I heard them. And damn, were they one hell of an introduction.
Their debut and only CD "Jesus Says Relax" was sleazy garage rock at it's finest. I remember hearing that they came up with the album title in a dream in which Jesus told them to tell everyone to "relax." The story's cool, but skepticism is almost a reflex when someone names their band something like the Tits. If the music doesn't rule, that name could go south easily. See below for a perfect example.
Yeah, that shit will send shivers up your spine. Luckily for the other Tits, the album is hit city. They made the rare achievement of making really heavy riffs that make you want to move. It makes it feel like you're taking a shot of whiskey each song. So in under 20 minutes, the Tits will fuck you up.
I never found out why the band broke up shortly after releasing this album. Seeing as how it was a real quiet break-up, I guess we could assume problems within the band, but I'm not gonna speculate that shit. The band's done either way, which is a shame, cause they were one of few bands in this city that gave the town a much needed punch in the balls. No idea what happened to the guitarist/vocalist Chris Rigdon but at least the drummer Matt Hearn and bassist/vocalist Dave McCowen went on to do cool shit with Turbo Fruits.
When this puppy came out, they were giving away copies at shows and on their website. Luckily, you can still listen to it/download it on their still function bandcamp. It's short (and anything but sweet), so it's not like you can't take a minute to listen to a couple of tracks. For a good laugh, check out their still active myspace. That blog they wrote was fucking hilarious.

I recall some time back seeing an article on trig point spotting. I can't remember it's correct name, or the website where you log your finds. Anyone know?
I recall some time back seeing an article on trig point spotting. I can't remember it's correct name, or the website where you log your finds. Anyone know?
This will probably help. Try the links at the bottom. I'm afraid to say 'trigpointing' sounds a bit anorak-ish to me (sorry)! Though I did used to climb up every one I could when I was a kid...
Just use 'em as a handy reference point really i.e "Oh good, now I'm at the summit of..."
Did I read the same article, wanting people to 'adopt' them, as the OS no longer needs them for accurate surveying?
Probably makes more sense to adopt a chimp or a llama or something...
Except that many trig points are not at the summit of anything.
The only thing I've ever adopted is an attitude of some kind or another.
....and here's a few more
.......and even a history of triangulation mapping
Adoption took place in the 90s (Mine was 1994 - Hill Fort in the Wareham Forest, Dorset)
No idea if the schemes still going, but I expect there's quite a few in the less popular spots just waiting for a foster parent
Kate- no otherside of B'mth - why?
As far as I could tell, the trig points on both Helvellyn and Scafell Pike are not on the actual summits.
What is the logic of this?
"Kate- no otherside of B'mth - why?"
cos I grew up in Dorchester. But if you're the 'wrong' side of Bournemouth it's another matter ;-)
I went "trig" spotting a while ago, but I am not very good at it, so I have to enlist the help of the dogs to find them.
Now where's that Trig point ????
Thanks, I knew I wasn't imagining things.
yep -that's the one I was thinking about as well

New research furthers scientists' understanding of chronic pain.
Researchers from the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) and the University of Queensland in Brisbane, Australia, conducted the study.
For the research, the scientists isolated a toxin called WaTx from the venom of the Australian Black Rock scorpion.
They discovered this toxin when they were researching animal venom compounds that could target the wasabi receptor, which is present throughout the human body in sensory nerve cells.
The findings of the study appear in the journal Cell.
How scorpion toxins affect nerves
The scientists' goal in isolating compounds in venom was ultimately to study the wasabi receptor, a sensory receptor that is also called TRPA1.
Upon activation, this receptor opens up and allows ions to flow into the cell, which triggers pain and inflammation.
"Think of TRPA1 as the body's 'fire alarm' for chemical irritants in the environment," says John Lin King, a doctoral student in UCSF's neuroscience graduate program and lead author of the study.
"When this receptor encounters a potentially harmful compound — specifically, a class of chemicals known as 'reactive electrophiles,' which can cause significant damage to cells — it is activated to let you know you're being exposed to something dangerous that you need to remove yourself from."
Other electrophile-containing substances that can trigger TRPA1 include cigarette smoke and environmental pollutants.
These irritants produce a response in the surface cells of the airways, which can lead to inflammation and cause coughing fits and breathing issues.
Chemicals in specific foods, such as wasabi, mustard, ginger, garlic, and onions, can also generate a response in nerve cells by targetting this receptor.
How the wasabi receptor toxin is different
Although the scorpion toxin triggers the wasabi receptor in the same way as these other substances, using the same sites on the receptor, it activates it in a different way. This mechanism was previously unknown.
The team found that WaTx contains a particular sequence of amino acids that enables it to pass directly through the membrane of a cell into its interior. This is an unusual feat, of which few other proteins are capable.
By forcing itself into the cell in this manner, WaTx bypasses the typical route that restricts what can enter.
After passing through the cell membrane, WaTx attaches to the same site on TRPA1 that compounds from wasabi and other irritants target, but the researchers say that is "where the similarities end."
While WaTx triggered only pain, the other compounds triggered both pain and inflammation.
Potential for studying chronic pain
The researchers feel that their study could help further the understanding of acute pain, as well as clarifying the link between chronic pain and inflammation.
Prior to this study, the researchers believed that there was no way to distinguish between chronic pain and inflammation within a laboratory setting, but this research has shown this assumption to be untrue.
"It was surprising to find a toxin that can pass directly through membranes. This is unusual for peptide toxins," says Lin King.
"But it's also exciting because if you understand how these peptides get across the membrane, you might be able to use them to carry things — drugs, for example — into the cell that can't normally get across membranes."
John Lin King
On that note, Lin King explains that this discovery could lead to the development of new, nonopioid medications to treat chronic pain.

What Racist Al Gore Hates: Antiretroviral Drugs Add Millions of Human "Life Years"

What Racist Al Gore Hates: Antiretroviral Drugs Add Millions of Human "Life Years"

May 22 (LPAC)--An estimated two million life years have been added worldwide since 2002 in low- and middle-income countries, by the expanding provision of antiretroviral drug treatment to people with HIV and AIDS, the World Health Organization and UNAIDS reported in their latest AIDS Epidemic Update, issued in December 2006.

Nearly 800,000 of these life years were gained in sub-Sahara Africa, the epicenter of the global epidemic. the "vast majority" of those years gained in "the past two years of antiretroviral treatment scale-up," they report. In Ibero-America, where wide-scale treatment provision began earlier, an estimated 834,000 life years have been gained since 2002.

Imagine the numbers of human lives we could save, by crushing the financier genocide lobby represented by Al Gore and his pharmaceutical companies buddies! As former Congressman Billy Tauzin who now heads Pharma, the pharmaceuticals lobby, said today--money and "intellectual property rights" are more important than people.

According to the WHO/UNAIDS report, despite a ten-fold increase in people in sub-Saharan Africa receiving antiretrovirals since December 2003, less than one quarter (23%) of the estimated 4.6 million people in that region who need them, receive treatment.

Antiretroviral drugs depress the amount of HIV virus in the people infected, by inhibiting the mechanisms by which the virus reproduces. This not only extends the life spans of the individuals who receive them, but it slows down the spread of the epidemic generally.

What do you do before an exam at school? For some, it's shooting a winning picture of a meteor on a 50-mm lens. See the winning and shortlisted images for the 2018 Young category of Insight Investment Astronomy Photographer of the year.
With a painterly style and beautiful composition this photograph has a quality that is beyond the years of the photographer. The softness of the shadows cast by the Moon's delicate light alongside the majesty of the mountains as they interact with our galaxy make this a truly fine piece of art.
Ed Robinson; Award-winning photographer, creative director, visual consultant and founder of OneRedEye Visual Communications
Winner - Great autumn morning
Vibrant in colour and precise in detail; this is a superb image that astrophotographers of all ages and experience would be proud to have captured.
Ed Robinson; Award-winning photographer, creative director, visual consultant and founder of OneRedEye Visual Communications
Runner-up - The Eta Carinae Nebula
The apparent simplicity of this image masks the tremendous amount of skill which is required to carry it off correctly. H-alpha filters are notorious for introducing gradients in images which the photographer has dealt with superbly here. A lovely and well presented view of our nearest star - the Sun.
Pete Lawrence; World-class astrophotographer, presenter on the BBC's The Sky at Night programme and writer for BBC Sky at Night Magazine
Highly commended - Inverted Sun
This is a fantastic photograph that is testament to the tenacity and ingenuity of the photographer determined to get a detailed shot of the moon. I really like the fact this was shot on an iPad through the telescope and am astounded that the photographer was only 8 years old when it was taken.
Sarah Pickering; Award-winning artist and Teaching Fellow at the Slade School of Fine Art
Highly commended - First Impressions
A great shot of the Moon taken by a star of the future. the Vallis Alpes featuring so strongly in the composition is a very distinctive feature.
Jon Culshaw; Comedian, impersonator and regular guest on The Sky at Night

Use the shinto rasp, Luke
Posted by Laszlo on Jun 12, 2005
The fine side leaves a very nice surface on the foam and it gives you great control without dust flying everywhere. Lee is right about the concave surfaces being a challenge, but with a little care they can be well approximated with short, angled cuts. That's what I did when I was shaping the wooden part of the coaming and there's no reason why it wouldn't work on the foam, too.
That rasp has been the single most useful hand tools for this project so far. It's a shame it came along after the CLC video. A lot of the grinder and sander steps they show there go a lot faster/neater/quieter with that rasp.

A - Synthesis and biofunctionalization of probes and nanomaterials
Coordinator: Markus Haase
Research field A aims at the provision of a broad spectrum of probes with tailored physical and biological properties for spectroscopic and microscopic investigations of cellular microcompartments. The following nanoprobes and reporters are of particular interest in this respect
- organic fluorescent dyes and luminescent nanoparticles with tailored photo-physical properties and biological functionality
- spin probes for labeling of proteins in complex cellular environments including complete cells
- photoactivatable/photosynthesizable lipids and reagents.
Bifunctional lipid technology for the identification of lipid-protein interactions using the example of ceramides as baid lipid (Haberkant et al., Angew. Chem., 2013).

Tunable generation of light using nonlinear niobate nanocrystals (unpublished results)
Imlau lab, Physics
Ultrafast physics - Femtosecond photo-physics of nonlinear optical nanomaterials
The Imlau research group focuses on the photo-physical, nonlinear optical properties of nanophotonic probes with respect to high-resolution imaging and photomanipulation in cells. We study energy transfer mechanisms within luminescent or harmonic nanoparticles, but also to biomolecules at the interface and to the direct physiological environment with femtosecond temporal resolution. This allows for a precise, stepwise modeling and understanding of the processes involved. The results are particularly important for the further, targeted design of nonlinear optical nanoprobes.
Specific binding of nanoparticles (red) to target proteins (green) on mitochondria and single particle trajectories (Liße et al., Angew. Chem. 2011)
Piehler lab, Biology
Signal propagation across biological membranes - Biofunctionalization of nanoparticles for site-specific labeling
The Piehler group develops strategies for the biofunctionalization of nanoparticles for a site-specific, stoichiometrically defined conjugation with target proteins in living cells. Next to luminescent inorganic nanoparticles (quantum dots, upconversion nanoparticles), we use protein cages such as ferritin as scaffolds for nanoparticles. These can be efficiently doped with fluorescent dyes, but also loaded with a magnetic core for noninvasive manipulation by magnetic field gradients. By functionalization with highly selective biochemical recognition units, efficient targeting to proteins in the cellular context is achieved.
Schematic architecture and conformational organization of nucleic acid duplex structures anchored within an artificial lipid bilayer (Werz & Rosemeyer, Beilstein J Org Chem 2014)
Rosemeyer lab, Chemistry
Synthesis of lipo-oligonucleotides and their interaction with artificial lipid membranes
The group develops nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) which are 5'-hydrophobized by incorporation of lipophilic phosphoramidite building blocks. Duplex formation between such lipophilized probe nucleic acids and complementary DNA- or siRNA sequences is studied in artificial lipid bilayer membranes. Here, both their immobilization rates and stability within the bilayer as well as their transfection across artificial membranes or the human Stratum corneum are of interest. The goal is the optimization of their pharmacological applicability as tnRNS's.
Normalized EPR spectra of different Gd-doped nanoparticles (Komban et al., Angew. Chem. 2013)
Steinhoff lab, Physics
Makromolecule Structure - EPR spectroscopy of nanomaterials
The Steinhoff group uses ferromagnetic resonance and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy to characterize the magnetic properties of nanomaterials and thin films. Distance distributions between paramagnetic centers are utilized to determine long-range order and growth mechanisms. Studied subjects are, e.g., lanthanide-doped nanocrystals and spin labeled proteins tethered to nanostructured surfaces.

Prayer in its purest form can be a precious thing — the whole of human longing boiled down to a cherished hope, a desperate plea, or a grateful psalm. In "Prayer," a sound installation by South African artist James Webb, the uniqueness of prayer is inverted. Each faith community, from Bahá'í to Indigenous, melts into a noisy din.
At the Art Institute of Chicago, Webb has fit the sound of Chicago's religious devotion into one room. The city's religious life spouts from speakers fixed to the floor. Museumgoers shuffle across the expanse of red carpet, pausing over one mushroom shaped speaker and then another — like bees gathering pollen, intent on producing cultural understanding and greater empathy.
Webb created the first iteration of "Prayer" in Cape Town in 2000 as a response to his home country's fractured post-apartheid state. He has installed nine "Prayers" since then in places including the United Kingdom and Sweden. Each version follows the same formula: Prayers from local religious groups, a red carpet, and tides of sound. The Chicago installation, like its predecessors, is simple in aim and elegant in construction. Though it is far broader in scope — around 250 people participated in the recording process, the most so far.
Listeners are free to engage as they wish, but many find the best posture is kneeling on the floor with one ear poised over a voice. It's a familiar pose of supplication and a clear metaphor: Participants appear to pray as they absorb the prayers of others.
A polite sign asks me to remove my shoes before I step onto the carpet.
Out of the melee of sounds, voices emerge …
"Life itself is communion with the divine."
"You are welcome just as you are. There are no conditions here."
"O Lord, have mercy."
It has been my experience, that prayer is neither simple nor elegant. The beauty that exists is derived from its history — the idea that faithful people have been praying the same prayer for generations. Under the guise of what the Art Institute has mistakenly called "minimalism," Webb has created an environment where prayers have been plucked from their context.
Minimalism, the art movement of the 1960s, reduces an element to its most basic components. The visual result of the subtraction is rudimentary. People struggle with minimalism for this reason, seeing it as an art form built around shortcuts. When looking at the work of an artist like Ellsworth Kelly, it's not difficult to see why. Kelly's paintings explore color and shape by using a severely reduced color palette and amorphous forms.
Kelly was fundamentally interested in the essence of things. Like Webb's audio, Kelly's paintings and drawings function as Rorschach tests. With Webb and Kelly, people hear what they like and see what they like, respectively. Here though, is an important difference: Kelly's shapes are an oasis for the eyes and stand proudly against the extravagance of contemporary visual culture. "Prayer," for all its ambition, offers no respite.
In the exhibition, voice serves as a proxy for cultural heritage, religious rites, and the people who perform them. Unfortunately, religion is not composed solely of sound and fury. Religion is also about what people do. Tying to reduce the entire scope of a ritual or tradition is difficult, if not nearly impossible.
Dutch sculptor Folkert de Jong said, "Reduction and silence in times of chaos gives people time to breathe and think about what is essential." At the time, he was referring to artists like Constantin Brancusi and Hans Arp, who built spare, almost skeletal sculptures amidst the horrors of World War I. De Jong couldn't understand why Arp and Brancusi wouldn't subscribe to overtly political forms of art making until he realized that the simple sculptures were the response.
Unfortunately, Webb offers no such relief from the chaos. There is no reprieve from constant motion and sound. I hear someone invoke "the ancient name of God" before my attention is pulled elsewhere.
Each faith community that participated received a copy of their recording. But why not place the recording in its corresponding house of worship and show a visual of it playing there? Some prayers are not in English. Could a translation be provided? Many prayers are in English. Could translations in other languages be provided? At the very least, a map explaining where to find the prayers of each tradition would help to reconfigure the space as a place where religious beliefs are honored and not simply conflated.
Perhaps Webb could play just one voice at a time instead of releasing a flood of sound. But it seems the last alteration would expose something this exhibit is trying very hard to cover up — that wanting the same things from God doesn't change the fact that people have very different ideas of who God might be. Far from intimidating, this gap is what makes interfaith dialogue so rich — similarity and difference go hand in hand.
Ultimately, Webb's project reads more as a sociological experiment than a metaphysical one. For the sterile sanctuary that is the Art Institute, sociology is a noble enough goal. However, if moral relativism could make us kinder, we would already be so.
As I write this, almost a week after the election and a few days after yet another mass shooting, inundated with news media, I wonder if what we need is less an aural collage and more a carefully curated celebration of difference. More silence, less noise. It is a more complicated endeavor, but I suspect Webb, should his interests ever run in that direction, is more than up to the task.
For all the perceived missed opportunity and cacophony, there's nothing quite like kneeling in a field of prayers.
"Prayer" is on exhibit at the Art Institute of Chicago until December 31, 2018.

Having a dog is great but have you thought about where they're going to live? Well, you may say 'with me of course' but having a dog house is very important especially if the breed of your dog isn't all cute and cuddly.
Nevertheless, irrespective of its breed, all dogs need a dog house. It's like giving them privacy to lick their butts without you having to deal with that. It's serenity. Now that we've gotten you thinking about dog houses, let's give you little mock-up plans so that you know what you're going for, and the best part is, you can do it yourself .
- Ranch style
This is perfect if you live in the ranch. Nevertheless it would fit perfectly in any background. There's enough room for your four legged family member to be comfortable in.
2. Little and cute
If your dog is average or small sized, you may need to consider this design. The roofing is really sturdy and your dog can have fun during the day.
3. Chill
Your dog will feel like a trophy in this crib. He has everything he could need. A good view, a ladder and enough room to be awesome in.
4. Palette style
This is pretty simple and it's insulated as well. Keeping your dog chill on a hot day and hot on a cold one. It's really the way to go.
Happy Dog Video➡ Watch the Best Video of Army Trained Dogs🐶
5. The A-team
This dog house is really stylish. It's really cosy and has a home feeling. Your dog will look forward to coming home.
6. Gabled roof
A gabled roof never hurt anyone, and it certainly won't hurt your dog. Let him have fun in this little hut.
7. Crooked
We all love a little crooked house, especially when it belongs to your furry friend. It's silly and cosy and your dog will most definitely appreciate it. You can hang up his name like so.
8. Nice and easy
This dog house is particularly easy to build. The thing with dog houses is that you can paint it however you want to. Take this for example.
9. Containers
Who said dog houses have to be made of wood? Take a look at this beautiful container house and you may just be looking at your dog's new home.
10. French inspired
This French inspired dog house definitely wins the price for the easiest dog house to build. It looks like it's made of cardboard paper, but make no mistake it's really strong for your dog.
Get your best animal friend his very own crib and pimp it however you would want to. These dog plans are just so you have an idea of what to go for, they're relatively easy to build and they're all DIY. Good luck.

Roach: Balance risk and benefit with all meds
Dear Dr. Roach: I am a 76-year-old woman with diabetes. My body, as I have been told, is bad with arthritis, for which I have been prescribed Celebrex. I have been taking this medication a few months now, and am definitely moving around with a lot less pain than I previously had. I recently watched a program that devoted the entire hour to Celebrex. The program scared me out of my wits upon hearing the side effects of the medicine. I am asking your advice about whether to stop taking the Celebrex.
Dear S.A.: All medicines have risks, and in order to decide whether you should keep taking the medicine, you need to really understand what the risks are and balance them against the benefits you feel in your ability to move around more easily.
In the case of Celebrex, we have a pretty good idea of what the risks are. Like all related drugs (including ibuprofen and naproxen), celecoxib (Celebrex) can damage the kidneys, so it isn't recommended for people with existing kidney disease. There also can be allergic reactions, which may be related to allergies to sulfa drugs. A few people have had vision changes. However, the most concerning risk is heart disease — both heart attacks and heart failure. These risks definitely are increased among users of celecoxib. However, the absolute risk is small: There were about two extra cases of all heart events, including heart attack and heart failure, per thousand people taking 400 mg once daily, and six extra events in people taking 400 mg twice daily. Those risks probably are higher if you are at increased risk for heart disease (which you probably are, because of your diabetes), but it still means less than 1 percent of people per year. If the medicine isn't helping, the risk certainly isn't worth it. However, only you can decide if the risk is worth the benefit.
Drug companies get into big trouble when they try to hide the risks of their medications, and honesty demands that we admit that all drugs and supplements have risks. Only you can make that decision, but I think it's up to us as doctors to have a frank discussion, especially about medications intended to be taken long-term.
Dear Dr. Roach: My mother lives in Florida. Her major discomfort is fatigue and no energy. I have asked her doctor to please give her a vitamin B-12 injection, even though her B-12, thyroid function, vitamin D and blood count are all in the normal range. Her doctor does not believe in B-12 injections. Do you think it might help?
Dear J.L.: Vitamin B-12 is necessary for proper function in many tissues, but it is critical for blood cell production and neurologic function. B-12 deficiency causes an unmistakable anemia (called megaloblastic anemia) and can cause neurologic and psychiatric disturbances even in some people with no anemia. The blood test for B-12 is quite reliable. The major cause of B-12 deficiency is an autoimmune disease that prevents the stomach from making intrinsic factor, which is necessary for efficient absorption of B-12. B-12 can be absorbed orally by people with pernicious anemia by taking very high doses, such as 1 mg. This gives as good a replacement as injection.
It was common 50 years ago to give B-12 injections as a "tonic." It offers no advantages for people with normal B-12 levels beyond the placebo response. As I have noted many times, the placebo response can be very powerful, and 1 mg of B-12 orally is very safe.

Creating a coursework? Useful tips for college students. Factor 1
Creating a coursework? Useful tips for college students. Factor 1
"Just be seated at the typewriter and bleed," reported E. Hemingway, when he was wanted to know how to make a terrific copy. In order to really write a brilliant training, it is far from essential to splash our blood. But the truth is, for reasons unknown, for lots of students the word "training" themselves origins terrible feelings. Our company is persuaded the fact that this is totally in vain, and present you our strategy for generating this type of student's perform the job.
Advantages. Make your formality of txt
The rigid official regulations towards training concept for starters drives students far from even . Really, the aforementioned, at first glance, unexpected quality of formatting are conditioned by its ordinary common sense and details of the project customwritings review again (essay, degree or diploma, thesis, etc.). As for instance, the quit standard bank can be at least 2 cm (it actually is important only that like step-by-step directions differ at various levels) to enable the school succeed far more convenient to stitch. The "imposed" design inside the sms is a obligatory the introduction in the primacy important, the item in addition to the subject matter is penned in order to really help us not go missing in our have background work, know what we ought to start with along with what things to conclude.
Writing articles a course function, which firmly comes after each and every traditional protocols, is an assurance to receive a impressive examination. Though, you will find professors to whom the actual existence of great blog posts and ideas in the office is absolutely not a warning sign. Nevertheless, if in accomplish the task there is no cut in the right spot or even the primary portion of units contains greater than the actual 2nd a particular (really needs to be even), then individual even are unable to expect to have an "A". Writing articles a frank nonsense, but thoroughly handled the look and kept on protect with confidence, responding to the questions – voila, carry your "very good".
Technique: with care follow the benchmarks of article writing the coursework supplied by the educator. In the event you change into notable scientist, then you can definitely stipulate your own special regulations. For the present time, we have to recall within the scholarship.
Step One: Construct a program associated with a training
The prerequisites are totally researched, the title is published in line with the most suitable tradition around the guide book, but Statement confirms a frightening "post: 1 of 1", what you should do next?
What happens to come so next is the most quite interesting. You must go with a theme and build a choose. But engaging in it is not very easy. The ideal option is to select a topic which is in reality engaging really for your requirements. A pragmatic option is to buy a subject for which you may easily find out a great deal of information. If at all possible-realistic version – relate to the topic with which you have presently did the trick (you might have personally own articles, old curriculums, abstracts which they can use).
The program need to comply with the mostly supported arrangement:
- launch;
- the foremost step (a minimum of 3 segments with models in accordance with the process of fundamental to chosen, by way of example: the historical past of the growth of practices within the declare – Department 1, the theory with the point out – Segment 2, finely detailed attention of theological way of thinking and some examples – Section 3; for pupils 1 and two instructional classes 2 chapters are plenty);
- final thoughts;
- software programs (even when you are fast paced in humanities, you should not ignore this a part; graphs, diagrams, furniture, studies will certainly make your training many more easy to undestand and abundant);
- set of assets preferred (more than 20 assets; first rate, if around some of them have been in an international vocabulary, this will heighten the state of work; you can con a bit to get translations inside the vital quotes with your indigenous terminology and catalog them for their classic language).
