These are reviews of Hoa Viet from 2006 and earlier. For more current reviews, visit the entry.
The pho is pretty good although the broth is a bit oniony. The spring rolls aren't that great. Still, if pho is what you came for, then you should be pretty satisfied. The price for a large bowl is about $6, which is a good deal considering the serving sizes are ginormous. Good place for some dinner with a friend. Also, the #52 (with chicken, beef, or shrimp) is a delicious, very filling noodle dish. The chicken one comes with lots of char-broiled chicken, two egg rolls, and a few shrimpies. The pork spareribs are sub-par, unless you like gnawing rubbery flesh off of a rotting bone.
If you are going to eat pho, ask for the wide noodles (chow fun noodles) in place of the regular. It costs a dollar more, but it is well worth it. Very Very delicious. -_
Hoa Viet is under new ownership and has undergone some renovation, including reconfiguring the space in the back. I spoke to one of their wait staff tonight (2006-06-02), and was told that the new owner had made changes to make sure the place was cleaner, including renovating the bathrooms. The new owner is hands on, and actually bussed our table. The pho tasted as excellent as usual.
The pho is pretty good, and comes in big bowls, as noted above. Good chinese-influenced Vietnamese dishes, too; I've found that Americans find those more familiar than the straight-up Vietnamese dishes. For great Vietnamese Sandwiches, check out Sunrise Restaurant - EricNguyen
i did not like the pho, but that is not because it wasnt good, but rather because i am not a soup person. however i went back a second time and got their vietnamese grilled chicken on rice noodles, it comes with fish sauce on the side, and it was very good. thus, you will like this place whether you like pho or not. MattHh
it's pretty good. obviously if you've been to oakland chinatown before and had a taste of the real good stuff, this place doesnt even compare in quality. but we are talking about davis for this restaurant, so yeah, the food is pretty good. - PatrickSing
doesn't compare to East San Jose pho (with ESJ's enormous vietnamese population), but it's still pretty good. - GiladGurantz
2005-09-15 01:37:21 I used to eat at Noodle House at Madison and Manzanita in Sacramento all the time. They set the bar for me for American Vietnamese cuisine. I've also dined extensively at Bobo kitchen in Sacramento, but Hoa Viet is my new favorite. The pho is superb, the accoutrements are fresh, and the portions are enormous. I tend towards the beef balls, but the "rare steak" is exemplary. For those fearful, "rare steak" simply means they slice sandwich-thin slices of beef and add them to the hot soup, where they are completely cooked by the time they arrive at your table. The "traditional BBQ dishes" are tremendously flavorful, and the usual side dish of vinagered fish sauce is very tempered towards western palates. Great quality, tons of flavor, and very cheap. —ChrisLambertus
2005-09-15 why is my negative, but factual critique, moved down to the comments section, while the positive fawning gets to remain in the main body? Is someone here on the Hoa Viet payroll? stumpy
2005-10-09 09:40:50 We are new to the area and tried this place last night. It was pretty good, though I do have to say their chow mein is relatively better to other chow mein than their pho is relative to other pho. —DaveNguyen122
2005-10-27 23:21:17 I use to work there and to tell you the truth, their kitchen is horrible. Theres massive water on the flow where if you aren't wearing the proper shoes, you can slip and cause serious damage. They do not redo your order if they mess up. They take out the wrong serving with their bare hand(unwash) and place the new order in. I recently came back to order number 92 and was food posioned. Threw everything up in a couple hours. Never going here again. —ToddPhan
2006-01-30 01:04:18 the pho here is mediocre at best, and the rice plats are pretty bad. but if you're craving for pho this place is probably your best bet. don't try the chinese food here either. —EddieLim
2006-02-20 02:54:38 The pho is tasty and comes in a huge bowl, though I can't vouch for it's cleanliness. Face it, if you're going to buy pho, you're probably not going to get it from a pristine kitchen. The charbroiled pork over rice has been consistently good for about $7. Don't forget to try their strawberry and avocado shakes. —CurtisLim
2006-03-19 18:10:58 I actually really like the spring rolls. The charbroiled pork dishes and noodle soups are great but everything else leaves something to be desired. —KevinRollins
2006-03-29 10:38:31 I dislike the gristle meat they use in their pho. It's horribly inaccurate to true pho, and my mom says, it's the kind of meat they use for bacon (the belly meat of the pig). It's a cheap workaround to what they're supposed to put in. And I don't think the management gives full tips to the waitstaff, but skims a bit of it. —QuynhNhuNguyen
2006-04-03 12:03:16 Went there on a recommendation, to go, and the food took forever. A good thing that was, I got a chance to observe the grubby atmostphere and the questionable looking staff (e.g., workers walking outside the front door to puff on smoke, people emerging from the kitchen area eating, and otherwise shady looking folk; except for the waiter). But more than that the place just looked darn unclean. And so I left. —AnnieSirrah
2006-06-04 15:44:18 One time when I went there, the staff was airing out the bathrooms because of a clog, so the place smelled like feces and pee. Interestingly, there were people who still decided to sit and eat there . . . including me —PattyLouieJunior
2006-06-16 07:01:45 I agree with ToddPhan, AnnieSirrah this restaurant is unclean. I went here last night. I requested an empty so I can split half of my Pho for my friend. Waiter brought out an empty bowl with residue stick to inside the bowl. I mean you can visually see it. So, I told him I want another clean bowl because this one too dirty. He took it back in I guess he cleaned this bowl inside the kitchen because I see those dirty spots. So, once more time. I put a current dirty bowl on the side, then I asked waiter to give me another empty bowl. He brought out another one. It looked dirty as the first one. In addition, I came from southern california, so I know what Pho tasted like. Pho at this place taste so plain and it has a lot msg. If you can to how cleaness they are, just ask for an empty bowl next time you come. For me, I would not come back here again!!! —ConnieTorres
2006-07-05 15:12:08 I've been a 'Little Saigon' girl all my life down in SoCal so I've eaten alot of better and cheaper Phos compared to the one at Hoa Viet. Nonetheless, it's not too bad seeing how it's the only Pho restaurant in Davis. I recommend coming here if you're feeling nostalgic for Vietnamese Cusine. —KristyDai
2006-07-26 00:31:16 Whenever I eat here, I almost always get #52. It sounded good on the menu, and it sure was! They seem to run out of the components for their tapioca pearl smoothies quite often, which makes you wonder why they don't order more. :( —KarlMogel
- mmmm... #52 I get it wherever I go
2006-08-22 11:30:03 this place is all about quantity and not quality. I only eat there if I'm really hungry or strapped for time. You can get an X-large bowl for about 50 cents more than the large. However, their soup is bland and doesn't even compare to the stuff you can get in sacramento which is only about 20 minutes away. Bean sprouts are always brown and old. —PorkFoo
2006-09-21 17:50:28 the Pho is pretty average, the service there is terrible though. The waiters are actually Vietnamese Communists. —ChrisNgo
2006-10-08 15:44:56 The pho is pretty mediocre comparitive to all the Pho places i've been to up and down California, but i have to admit i like their chow fun the most —JasonKong
2006-10-09 16:36:42 I like Sunrise better. This place has just okay food. My favorite is #51. —KiwiSelina
2006-10-16 22:56:52 Every time I come here I want to have one of their yummy tapioca pearl drinks. However, for the last year or so, they have never had the ingredients to make them. Not even the pearls. I almost feel like grabbing the bag of tapioca pearls I have at home and slapping it down on the table and saying, "I want a Mocha Pearl!" Don't bother ordering them 'cause they ain't got 'em. —KarlMogel
2006-10-17 14:47:32 I love the salty lemonade! Ymmmmm!!! —AlphaDog
2006-10-28 17:22:46 I'm really sad. I went in there a few times at the end of the summer, and everything went downhill. The new ownership is great, but pretty new paint doesn't make the good food come back. I think in the ownership switch, they changed cooks. They used to have, by far, the best Veggie Chow Fun...ever...and the last two or three times I had it, it was completely bland and uninspired—and heavily MSG'd (I'm mildly allergic). Sadness. —JulieEickhof
2006-11-06 22:36:19 Pho can be ranked precisely with the Los Angeles Neighbourhood Scale, where "Little Saigon/Westminster" is the pinnacle and "Westwood" the nadir. For me, Hoa Viet's #1 combination pho was a solid-if-not-spectacular "Koreatown", making it one of the better ethnic meals in Davis. —SimonChan
2006-11-08 20:38:45 one of the dirtiest and nastiest pho I have ever had. The pho tasted like it was just some noodles with boiling water. hardly any beef flavor, and barely resembled anything like pho. I could just boil some rice noodles and buy some beef broth and it would taste better than this. —AnnThiNguyen
2006-12-09 20:38:45 I agree with the above. I was especially pissed off by the 40-ish waiter who seems to think he's a rockstar. I wrote down $0.01 for the tip but somehow it was changed to $5.00 on the debit card. The food sucks, try Stockton Blvd. in Sacramento for better Vietnamese selection. —TerencePhan
2006-12-28 23:47:38 This place is dirty. Food is terrible. Once, when we went up to pay, we stood there for a few minutes to wait for someone to take our money. —JohnWong

International Resolution Calls For An End To Primate Research
Animal Protection Groups, Scientists Call for End Use of Chimpanzees and other Primates in Research
It was the first step toward convincing governments, scientists, industry, funders, and regulators to find alternatives to the tens of thousands of non-humans primates used in research and testing annually.
Representatives of The HSUS, the German Animal Welfare Federation, and the Eurogroup for Animal Welfare presented the resolution on August 22 at the Fifth World Congress on Alternatives and Animal Use in the Life Sciences in Berlin. They were joined by renowned primatologist, Dr. Jane Goodall, who was the first of many attendees at the Congress to sign the resolution. The resolution had been adopted unanimously at a meeting of animal protection groups prior to the Congress.
"The unanimous adoption of the resolution by animal protection organizations from around the world demonstrates the importance these organizations attach to the cause of ending research on nonhuman primates," said Martin Stephens, HSUS vice president for Animal Research Issues, who spoke at the press conference announcing the resolution.
The HSUS and others chose the Fifth World Congress to present their resolution because the Congress' mission is to facilitate the advancement of the replacement, reduction and refinement of animals used in research and testing, or the "Three R's," as this field of research has been named. The resolution is intended, in part, to help make the replacement of primates used in research an urgent priority of the Three Rs community.
The urgency of this call became even more obvious after the September 1 issue of Nature hit newsstands. The key journal article in this issue (Nature, 437, 69-87: 2005), which detailed the small differences between chimpanzee and human genomes, actually underscored the striking similarities between these animals and humans. "Chimpanzee intelligence, complex social relationships, tool use, and ability to experience emotions such as pleasure and pain were already well known," The HSUS's Stephens said recently. "Now we learn of the overwhelming genomic similarity. What more evidence do we need to face up to our ethical obligation to stop using these beings as tools in biomedical research and testing?"
Citing that non-human primates naturally develop social relationships, experience a wide range of emotions, have memory capabilities, have long life-spans, and the capacity to experience pain and distress, the resolution itself calls for "an end to the use of non-human primates in biomedical research and testing. We urge governments, regulators, industry, scientists and research funders worldwide to accept the need to end primate use as a legitimate and essential goal; to make achieving this goal a high priority; and to work together to facilitate this. In particular, we believe there must be an immediate, internationally coordinated effort to define a strategy to bring all non-human primate experiments to an end."
Why We Need a Resolution
Tens of thousands of non-human primates are used annually in biomedical research and testing throughout the world, some in countries where there are no laws to either govern their care and use in the laboratory or prevent their capture from the wild and subsequent exportation to other countries for use in research.
Whether captured from the wild or born in captivity, most of these animals endure pain and distress caused either directly by experiments or indirectly by inappropriate transport, housing (such as social isolation), and care. All the natural activities of non-human primates—foraging for food, grooming one another, raising offspring—are severely restricted by a laboratory existence. Primates in laboratories can be forced to live alone in small metal cages, be subjected to handling by humans, and endure various procedures, such as multiple surgeries, food and water deprivation, and infection with deadly pathogens.
As a result, many live in a constant state of anxiety, remembering what has happened to them or their companions and anticipating what may happen next. Aberrant behaviors can result from these stressors, including self-mutilation, stereotypical movement, and hair-pulling. Some chimpanzees will be sent to a sanctuary system under the CHIMP Act, but most primates in laboratories are typically reused for various protocols, die, or are euthanized as a result of the research protocol for which they were used.
"The very reason that researchers use to argue in favor of using non-human primates as 'models' for their experiments—that they are so much like us in terms of biology, physiology, behavior, social structure, and intelligence—is the very same reason that makes it imperative that we develop an urgent plan to end their use," said Kathleen Conlee, director of Program Management for the Animal Research Issues section of The HSUS. "The primate resolution is the beginning of the process."
Non-Human Primate Use in the U.S.
There is only one law that governs the use of non-human primates (and other animals) in research in the United States, namely the Animal Welfare Act (and its corresponding regulations), as well as one policy, the Public Health Service Policy on Humane Care and Use of Laboratory Animals.
This one law and one policy are supposed to guide the care and handling of thousands of non-human primates in U.S. facilities. In 2004, the number of primates used in the United States was 54,998, housed at more than 200 facilities. (This figure does not include those primates not being used, but still living in laboratories, such as those used for breeding). The chimpanzee is the only great ape being used in research in the United States, and the number is estimated to be between 1,300 and 1,400, the majority of whom are housed at seven facilities.
Chimpanzees are used primarily for hepatitis and HIV research; monkeys are mostly used for HIV, vaccine, and drug testing as well as malaria, infectious disease, and neurology research. Monkey species commonly used include various species of macaques (e.g. rhesus, long-tailed, and pig-tailed) and baboons, as well as squirrel monkeys, marmosets, and tamarins. According to an analysis conducted by The HSUS, approximately 77% of the federally funded research studies conducted with monkeys in 2002-2004 were invasive—that is, involved surgery, biopsy, or inoculation with an infectious agent, for example.
In Britain, where animal research is more tightly regulated than in the United States, officials do not grant licenses to conduct research on great apes. According to a recent article in the News Telegraph, marmosets and macaques were used in 4,760 "procedures" in 2003 in Britain, or about 0.17% of the roughly 2.8 million animals used overall in Britain for that year. The majority of these primates are used in toxicology procedures. The Netherlands, New Zealand, and Sweden formally prohibit research on great ape species.
Ending research on non-human primates altogether will not happen overnight.
"The first phase must be the recognition and acceptance by all stakeholders of the ethical importance of the effort," said The HSUS's Stephens. "The second phase will involve the development of an international strategy coordinated by all of the stakeholders, including determination of priorities and timelines. The resolution is only the first of many steps in ultimately ending the use of non-human primates in biomedical research and testing—but it is an important one."

Sat, 02 Apr 2016 13:58:10 -0700
New York Yankees C Carlos Corporan was traded to the Tampa Bays on Saturday, April 2, for cash considerations.
Fantasy Tip: Corporan will most likely service minor-league depth behind Hank Conger and Curt Casali. The 32-year-old journeyman is a career .218 hitter, so he would remain well off the fantasy radar even if Conger and Casali were sidelined.

|Yankees | Yanks have battle for backup catcher job
Sun, 28 Feb 2016 08:03:12 -0800
New York Yankees Cs Austin Romine, Gary Sanchez and Carlos Corporan will battle for the backup catcher position during spring training, according to manager Joe Girardi. "I don't care to come into camp and say, 'This person has no chance.' That's not fair to the player, and then I think you're narrow-minded," Girardi said. "You have to keep your eyes open."
Fantasy Tip: Whoever emerges as the winner of this competition won't see much playing time behind Brian McCann, who started 119 games last season. Sanchez and Romine may have a slight edge over Corporan because they are both on the 40-man roster and have had more experience working with the team's pitchers.

|Rangers | Two Texas catchers have surgery
Fri, 16 Oct 2015 14:45:42 -0700
Texas Rangers Cs Chris Gimenez (shoulder) and Carlos Corporan (thumb) each underwent minor surgeries. Giminez had cleanup shoulder sergery, and Corporan had surgery on his left thumb.
Fantasy Tip: Gimenez finished the season strong with a .490 slugging percentage in the second half, and he was excellent against lefties with a 1.095 OPS. He could be a late-round flier in deep mixed and AL-only leagues next spring. Corporan isn't a fantasy-worthy option outside of AL-only leagues, and even there, he is a desperation start.

|Rangers | Carlos Corporan set to return
Mon, 31 Aug 2015 18:22:08 -0700
The Texas Rangers will activate C Carlos Corporan (thumb) from the 15-day disabled list Tuesday, Sept. 1. He hasn't played since July 13 due to a bruised left thumb. He will likely be used as a third catcher behind Cs Chris Gimenez and Bobby Wilson.
Fantasy Tip: Corporan ($1,800, 3.6% of cap) is only worth a look in FantasyScore when he is in the starting lineup, as he does have a little power potential for such a low price tag.

There is an outside chance that Texas Rangers C Carlos Corporan (thumb) will be activated from the disabled list Tuesday, Sept. 1, when rosters are expanded.
Fantasy Tip: Corporan ($1,800, 3.6% of cap) recently moved his minor league rehab assignment from Class AA Frisco to Class AAA Round Rock. He could be useful for owners in AL-only or two-catcher fantasy leagues once he returns to action.

Texas Rangers C Carlos Corporan (thumb) will begin his rehab assignment with Class AA Frisco Wednesday, Aug. 26.
Fantasy Tip: Corporan ($1,800, 3.6% of cap) should be useful down the stretch in AL-only and two-catcher leagues, since he'll likely play frequently when he returns to Texas. Check to see if he was cut by his previous owner.

Texas Rangers C Carlos Corporan (thumb) has started to play catch in Arlington, as he makes his way back from a bruised left thumb.

Texas Rangers Cs Robinson Chirinos (shoulder) and Carlos Corporan (thumb) are both making slow progress from their injuries, and general manager Jon Daniels said the two are playing catch. Chirinos has taken swings off a tee but has yet to take batting practice.
Fantasy Tip: There remains no timetable for a return for either Chirinos or Corporan. In the meantime, Chris Gimenez ($1,800, 3.6% of cap) is seeing most of the starts behind home plate, and he's an option to add in AL-only leagues if you're hurting at catcher in the short term.

Texas Rangers C Tomas Telis was recalled from Class AAA Round Rock Friday, July 17. The team also placed C Carlos Corporan (thumb) on the 15-day disabled list because of a sprained thumb.
Fantasy Tip: Telis is one of the team's better prospects and could share time with Robinson Chirinos while he is up with the team. Telis is hitting .291 with five RBI and 25 RBI this season with Round Rock. Owners on AL-only and two-catcher leagues can consider adding him to their roster. Owners in dynasty leagues should also have interest in Telis if he is available.

NDSU program specializes in American Indian health
FARGO, N.D. (AP) — A North Dakota State University program is offering an advanced degree for students looking to improve the health of American Indians, and school officials are touting it as the only specialization of its kind in the country.
NDSU earlier this year instituted a master of public health degree with a curriculum designed to prepare graduates to work with Native American health systems. Students have been studying health-related issues such as substance abuse, diabetes, smoking, suicide, post-traumatic stress disorder, poverty and historical trauma.
The program could be a "game-changer," North Dakota Indian Affairs Commissioner Scott Davis said.
"I think in two or three years you are going to see those graduates go back and help their respective tribes," Davis said. "We have all been taught to go away and get our education and come back and help our people. That hasn't changed for decades."
The program is the brainchild of Dr. Donald Warne, a Kyle, S.D., native and enrolled member of the Oglala Lakota Tribe who received his bachelor's degree from Arizona State University and medical degree from Stanford. He later earned a master of public health degree from Harvard.
Warne said there's "an incredible lack of understanding" about American Indian health issues, and felt his view was verified while attending school at Harvard.
"I was impressed by how much my instructors knew about urban public health, or global health," Warne said. "They had no clue what was happening in Indian country when it comes to health disparities."
Warne, 47, who has worked on tribal lands as a primary care doctor, health consultant and researcher, said he decided to start a program rather than complain about it.
"It actually feels like I am working further upstream than I have at any time in my career," said Warne, who last year was nominated by two American Indian groups to become the next U.S. surgeon general. "The quality of students we are bringing in are remarkable. This is something I find very gratifying."
Students say they were drawn to the program partly because they are learning from health care experts who are Native Americans. Warne is one of three American Indian teachers in the program, along with Donna Grandbois, assistant professor of nursing, and Linda Frizzell, American Indian data coordinator.
"As a Native American tribal member, nurse and health educator, I have seen firsthand the devastating results of the grave health disparities and inequities that continue to exist among Native people, both urban and those living on reservations," Grandbois said.
Statistics from the Indian Health Service show that American Indians and Alaska Natives have a life expectancy that is more than four years fewer than the rest of U.S. citizens. A Census Bureau survey last year showed that those two groups have the highest national poverty rate at 27 percent, which Warne said creates further challenges to improving overall health of the population.
Warne came from one of the poorest tribes in the country on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation.
"Indian Health Service is terribly underfunded," Warne said. "There's a saying in Indian health: Don't get sick after June. The reason is we run out of money. That is the fault of Congress. We have a lot of things stacked against us in terms of poverty and politics."
There are 18 core credit hours in the program, including classes on American Indian health policy, health disparities, cultural competence, research and case studies. Students are required to take one elective course and complete a practicum and masters paper. The program is open to anyone in the country through distance education.
One of the students turned her focus toward indigenous food systems and has helped to maintain five community gardens in the Fargo area that are used by about 130 families. Another student has elected to study American Indian elder care.
Jacob Davis, 33, is an enrolled member of the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa in North Dakota, where he spent several years working on a genetics research program. He earned a bachelor's degree from Minot State and is pursuing the master's degree specialization because he wants to work for a nonprofit and develop proposals for Native communities based on their needs.
"You need to start at a young age and develop programs where we interact with the Native American children and help them grow up healthy, and help them realize what's good and what's bad," Davis said.

A call for action: improving decision-making in the commissioning of health services
27 Oct, 16 | by BMJ Clinical Evidence
By Siân Jones and Alison Turner
While evidence based medicine (EBM) has been promoted for over 20 years and has influenced other disciplines like nursing, little attention has been paid to decision-making in NHS clinical commissioning: the planning and purchasing of services to meet the healthcare needs of the local population. Where EBM supports clinical decisions on an individual patient basis, there is no equivalent philosophy for commissioning, where decisions are made that can affect hundreds of thousands of people. more…

The bees arrived at the post office yesterday afternoon, and Al went and picked them up. Sue and I were quite surprised to see them in the garage, in 3 boxes hooked together, buzzing very loudly!! I don't know how I thought they were going to come in the mail. You can see the Sue and Al taking the boxes apart. After lunch today, we put them in their new homes.
The queen is in her own little box with a screen on one side so that her people can feed her. There was also a can of food...some mixture of sugar and water for the trip. Once the can was pulled out of the box, the bees wee dumped into their respective hives. We made up a batch of sugar water for them so they have some munchies while they get settled.
This is Sue and Al dumping the bees into the hive
Earlier this week I took a photo of our mini tulips that we are loving...the squirls didn't get too many. The special treat this week, is the intoduction of two more of the scary baby family. Clearly they are loving it here in the garden by the pond.
Sue and I spent time on Sat am cleaning out the green house and planting seeds. The greenhouse looked like this for less than 5 minutes... They are popping up already, and we are all keeping our fingers crossed for rain this weekend. Every thing is so dry!
Well, tonight is a dinner party for Sue's mom's 80th birthday, and my sis is madly working on our fancy press kits that we wanted to have done 2 months ago for Starr...so I should go back to work!
Wednesday, April 12, 2006
Well, Al and I made it to the quilt show in Chicago and back and had a great time. It was wonderful to around stitchers who "got" our product. Our "make and takes" went well, we met new wonderful people, bought a few great beads, and I have to admit I bought another bag...I really try not to, but I just couldn't help it!!
My sister was tied to the "cash register" area, because I was too lame to add and figure tax without my brain freezing. It is a sad situation, but that is just how it is. She is great at it, and I appreciated it very much. I did my best to be the restocker person and chat with customers.
We were very tired when we got home, but had to jump right back into the Artgirlz business mode...production...had to get the Dada kits to the National Gallery...phone calls, data entry, emails, shipping, ordering, planning, whirling magazine project ideas around...I bought these roses at the grocery store when we got back. They are so beautiful, I was carrying them around so that I could see them all day.
The garden is getting very exciting. The daffies are blooming, including some very sweet miniatures. The miniature tulips are also starting to bloom...the ones that have survived squirrel attacks...will get photo's tomorrow. The pulsatilla's are also starting to bloom...the purple variety seems to pop out earlier than the white...
I also want to introduce our scary baby collection. The first one that you will see has been sun bathing all winter next to the pond, and is now gazing into the pool and watching the fish...the ones that weren't consumed by the great blue heron. There seem to be four fish out of fifteen. The good news is that we didn't buy the very expensive koi last fall!!
Happy to be home to my house, my girl, the garden and moving forward with the nation!

It feels like the right day to do the baked milk challenge. I am worried my two year old will fail this challenge however I have optimistic hope that he'll pass.
I personally won't be having milk ever again. I don't think it's normal to drink a cow's breastmilk, intended to make calves grow into cows, and I don't believe that the human body needs it. It's just not for us.
However it would be nice if my son isn't allergic to all baked goods. It means that maybe he can have a piece of the birthday cake going around at his friend's parties and that I won't have to worry quite as much when he goes to playgroup or Grandpa's house. It means he can decide what he thinks of dairy later on in his own life.
Isn't it crazy how one muffin can contain so many common allergens. The thought of giving my child with allergies a traditional muffin would not have even crossed my mind until we were asked to do the challenge by our allergy specialist.
So I went shopping for cow's milk! It was weird, such a novel experience. There has never been milk in this fridge before.
Here it is, like a foreign alien.
Then I decided well, let's go all out and pretend like he's eating a muffin from the bakery. So in the pantry, hanging out amoung the buckwheat, quinoa, cacao and flaxseed… there is a big old bag of white flour.
(My son has no allergy to wheat or gluten but we don't really eat it).
Chocolate Chip Muffins
Chocolate chips are dark chocolate and dairy free… It felt necessary.
Made a batter from nearly 2 cups flour, 2 eggs, 1.5 cup milk and chocolate chips.
Baked for 20min or until done.
I am giving one to my son before his midday nap. Hopefully he'll sleep then we'll wake up and have a normal afternoon. Today we're going to the water park accross town.
Fingers crossed!!!!!
Pass or Fail? Johnny was so excited, he was like "ooo!! What is that??" Then squealed and said "Yum yum, cake". He loved the taste, even without added sugar (sweetness from the choc chips though).
12.30 : One muffin eaten
12.45 : Asleep
1.30 : Normal
2.30 : Normal. Yay! Two hours, no physical reaction observed. Very whingy, clingy but this can happen just because he's a two year old.
Jump for joy, jump for joy.
Johnny says, "silly Mummy" and laughs, tries to jump.
Cool, he passed!!!
Now what?
Current research suggests that to help build up the body to grow out of allergies, we should be ingesting exactly as much of the allergen as the body can handle on a regular basis (but if you can't handle any, don't eat any). So I would like to give my son a couple of muffins a week with baked egg, baked milk and some almond meal in order to help him outgrow his multiple allergies. I see those pictures of other kids around online who are able to eat their first boiled egg at age 12 or climb the milk ladder and it gives me hope that that'll be my son one day. We go through so much heartache with our babies watching them have allergic reactions that it's nice to stop and reflect on how far we come – even if it's just in terms of knowledge built – and visualize a happy future.

2013 Ford Focus ST: The Overboosted Ecoboost
December 02, 2012
Glad to see that Ford put a little effort (very little) into making this engine look special, it deserves it. Not only does this turbocharged 2.0-liter put out just over 250 horsepower, it does it in a way that makes it usable in almost any gear.
No need to wind it by the intake manifold to get it going. Peak torque arrives at around 3,000rpm and uh stays peaked. This is due to an overboost feature that cranks up the turbo boost for up to 15 seconds to keep the torque curve flat. It sounds gimmicky, but it works and works well.
Lots of turbocharged four cylinder engines have been claiming to deliver V6 power with four-cylinder mileage. So far, I'd say this engine delivers on that promise better than anything else I've driven.

American Exceptionalism
June 17, 2011
"But the factory owners refused to pay 62 cents per hour, or $5 per day, as a measure unanimously passed by the Haitian Parliament in June 2009 would have mandated. And they had the vigorous backing of the US Agency for International Development and the US Embassy when they took that stand.
To resolve the impasse between the factory owners and Parliament, the State Department urged quick intervention by then Haitian President René Préval.
'A more visible and active engagement by Préval may be critical to resolving the issue of the minimum wage and its protest 'spin-off'—or risk the political environment spiraling out of control,' argued US Ambassador Janet Sanderson in a June 10, 2009, cable back to Washington.
Two months later Préval negotiated a deal with Parliament to create a two-tiered minimum wage increase—one for the textile industry at about $3 per day and one for all other industrial and commercial sectors at about $5 per day.
Still the US Embassy wasn't pleased. A deputy chief of mission, David E. Lindwall, said the $5 per day minimum 'did not take economic reality into account' but was a populist measure aimed at appealing to 'the unemployed and underpaid masses.'
Haitian advocates of the minimum wage argued that it was necessary to keep pace with inflation and alleviate the rising cost of living. As it is, Haiti is the poorest country in the hemisphere and the World Food Program estimates that as many as 3.3 million people in Haiti, a third of the population, are food insecure. In April 2008 Haiti was rocked by the so-called Clorox food riots, named after hunger so painful that it felt like bleach in your stomach.
According to a 2008 Worker Rights Consortium study, a family of one working member and two dependents needed at least 550 Haitian gourdes, or $12.50, per day to meet normal living expenses."

Dustin Johnson continued his top run as he maintained his one-shot lead at the 144th Open Championship before the play was suspended due to rain on the second day at St. Andrews.
World number four Johnson is 10-under after 13 holes, while England's clubhouse leader Danny Willett carded a three-under 69 for nine under overall, the BBC reported.
The action was halted just a few minutes into the second round when the Old Course was weather-beaten by torrential rain, causing a lengthy delay of more than three hours as the ground-staff battled hard to get the course playable.
Grand Slam-chasing Jordan Spieth is tied for 15th on five under after 13, while former number one Tiger Woods is five over after 11 and is set to miss only his second cut in 19 Open appearances overall.

The cute and cuddly phrase "nasty little habit" is just more junkie thinking. Such soft fuzzy words are used to self-minimize the hard cold reality of being a nicotine addict. It's much easier to tell ourselves that all we have is just have a "nasty little habit." The warmth of the phrase is akin to that found in word "slip," a painless substitute for the word relapse.
Failing to use turn signals while driving is a "nasty little habit" and so is using cuss words too often, cracking your knuckles or even losing your temper. But, no one experiences physical withdrawal symptoms when they begin using turn signals, or stop swearing, cracking their knuckles or learn to control their temper. Physical addictions do create drug feeding patterns that ensure regular drug delivery, patterns that are correctly termed "habits." But the addiction fathered the habits (feeding cues), not the other way around! We wouldn't have developed a habit of sucking smoke into our lungs while talking on the telephone or after a meal unless something inside prior cigarettes had created the need to do so. Within 20 to 30 minutes of our last dose of nicotine, our blood nicotine level would fall to a point where we'd feel the need to replace it. That is not a habit but true chemical dependency!
It didn't matter what we were doing at the time. If we were on the phone and we had not topped off our nicotine tank in the past 30 minutes, it would happen while on the phone. If our meal lasted for more than 30 minutes then the command for nicotine would come! If we took an hour drive, spent an hour being romantic, an hour in class, an hour drinking or if we'd been awake for an hour, it was time for another fix. Yes, we developed habits but not just for the sake of having habits. We had no choice if we wanted to avoid full blown nicotine withdrawal.
I wish this was just a "nasty little habit" as this forum would not be here and many of us would be involved with other causes. But just one puff of nicotine and up to 50% of our brain's a4b2-type acetylcholine receptors would become occupied by nicotine within 8-10 seconds, creating a dopamine "aaah" sensation that would soon have it wanting, plotting to obtain or even begging for more. My name is John Polito and I'm a recovered nicotine addict. I comfortably remain just one powerful puff away from three packs a day!
John (Gold x9)

The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) plans to conduct controlled burns this spring on parts of three wildlife areas in the northeast and southcentral areas of the state to reduce wildfire risks and enhance wildlife habitat.
Controlled burns could begin as early as late March on at least 300 acres of the Sinlahekin Wildlife Area in Okanogan County and 200 acres of the Sherman Creek Wildlife area in Ferry County, depending on weather conditions and approval from the state Department of Natural Resources.
Areas of the Oak Creek Wildlife Area in Yakima County may also be treated later this spring if conditions allow.
The project areas range from grasslands to ponderosa pine stands that contain logging debris and slash.
Matt Eberlein, WDFW prescribed fire manager, said controlled burns are monitored constantly until they are out. Signs will be posted to alert area residents, travelers and recreationists about the burns.
"We will be working to minimize smoke impacts," Eberlein said. "Smoke could make its way into the town of Kettle Falls, for example, or temporarily cut visibility on highways at night or early morning. Motorists should use caution and watch for personnel, fire equipment, and smoke on roads in the vicinity of the burns."
Eberlein said recent wildfires in eastern Washington demonstrate the importance of conducting controlled burns. Burning brush, debris, and other fuels reduces the risk of high-intensity wildfires that can destroy wildlife habitat.
"It's not a question of whether we'll have fires on these lands, but rather the degree to which we can reduce the damage they cause," Eberelin said.
Eberlein said WDFW is coordinating with other agencies in the area to provide assistance with the burn, and is using private contractors with bulldozers and other equipment from local communities.

What's your Wine of Choice?
Even if you don't drink wine very often, you probably have a type that you prefer. For me, I really enjoy white Pinot Grigio, and I can't stand most varieties of red. Rose is kind of my middle ground. I like that it's sweet, but I don't like the fact that it has such a low alcohol content. Which wine do you prefer? Vote after the jump!
If you don't drink wine, try cooking with it! It can fancy-up almost any meal, from steaks to chicken to pasta. Here are some fun dishes with wine included:
Wine Flatbread – This is a tasty appetizer for a sophisticated dinner party.
Red Wine Crockpot Roast – This is an elegant beef dish flavored with rosemary and onion soup mix.
White Wine Cake – The suprise ingredient of white wine adds a unique flavor to this dessert.

Reply to: Roy A. Giles, Jr. Property Control Section Telephone: (919) 733-7408 FAX: (919) 733-2947 email@example.com
March 14, 2001
Honorable Wayne Goodwin Representative, N. C. General Assembly Room 502 Legislative Office Building Raleigh, North Carolina 27601
Dear Representative Goodwin:
Pursuant to the Older Americans Act (42 U.S.C. 3000, et seq.), the State of North Carolina has named the Division of Aging as the state's sole agency for aging programs. The Division has established regional programs, among them the Pee Dee COG, to serve aging persons across the state. The Division made a subgrant to the Pee Dee COG, which was used in part, to buy equipment for use in the aging program. The funds used to purchase the equipment in question were awarded to the Division of Aging pursuant to Subchapter III of the Older Americans Act (42 USC 3021, et seq.) You have requested our opinion concerning the disposition of surplus state property in the possession of the Pee Dee COG now that the Pee Dee COG is being dissolved and no longer has need for the property.
We have reviewed both the federal and state statutes and regulations which apply to the property at the Pee Dee COG.
45 CFR Part 92 is the federal regulation which ensures uniform administration of grants and cooperative agreements entered into by state governments and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (USDHHS). 45 CFR 92.32 controls the use, management, and disposition of equipment purchased with grant money awarded to the Division by USDHHS. With regard to equipment acquired under a grant to a State, 45 CFR 92.32(b) provides in relevant part:
States. A state will use, manage, and dispose of equipment acquired under a grant by the State in accordance with State law Representative Wayne Goodwin March 14, 2001 page 2
and procedures. Other grantees and subgrantees will follow paragraphs (c) through (e) of this section. 45 CFR 92.32(b) (Emphasis added.)
45 CFR 92.32 (e)(1) provides as follows:
Disposition. When original or replacement equipment acquired under a grant or subgrant is no longer needed for the original project or program or for other activities currently or previously supported by a Federal agency, disposition of the property will be made as follows: ... (1) Items of equipment with a current per-unit fair market value of less than $5,000 may be retained, sold or otherwise disposed of with no further obligation to the awarding agency. (Emphasis added.)
The Division of Aging contends that the disposition instructions of 45 CFR 92.32(b) apply and that the property should be disposed of in accordance with state law and procedure. The Executive Director of Pee Dee contends that the disposition instructions of 45 CFR 92.32(e)(1) apply, and therefore the Pee Dee COG should be allowed to buy the equipment from the Division of Aging. In the instant situation, a grant was made by the USDHHS to the State ( the Division of Aging). Because the federal grant was made to the State and the State made its own award to Pee Dee, we are of the opinion that the state surplus property rules apply pursuant to 45 CFR 92.32(b).
Even if 45 CFR 92.32(e)(1) did apply to this equipment, it appears the predicate for disposition of property under this regulation is missing. This disposition instruction only applies when the equipment is "no longer needed for the original project or program or for other activities currently or previously supported by a Federal agency." In other words, the disposition instruction applies only where there is no eligible agency with a need for the equipment.
In this case, the Division of Aging has indicated a need for the property. Assuming the Division does need the property, the predicate for Pee Dee COG retaining the property would not exist. It is noted that even if the aging program did not need the equipment, a determination would have to be made as to whether or not there are other state or local programs currently or previously supported by federal money that could make use of the equipment.
Representative Wayne Goodwin March 14, 2001 page 3
We express no opinion as to whether the equipment is needed for any other Federal programs or as to the value of the equipment in question.
Very truly yours,
Reginald L. Watkins
Senior Deputy Attorney General
Roy A. Giles, Jr.
Special Deputy Attorney General
Richard Slipsky

As a pioneer in the technology preparing space, we need to facilitate the agony of those progressions and moves for our customers. That is the reason we're continually considering approaches to make preparing more available and simpler to devour. One approach is another on-request preparing position: Digital Learning. This is vital on the grounds that we aren't delivering a huge amount of substance just to mirror what's as of now in the market. Rather, we're attempting to create connecting with substance in topical regions where we see a hole in the market. This permits organizations to have the choice of preparing points in whichever conveyance arrange you esteem ideal for the specific group and occurrence.
Eventually, Digital Learning is about delivering the best item to help organizations take their workers from great to incredible.

Để đạt được mục tiêu của mình trong việc tạo ra sản phẩm tốt nhất, chúng tôi đã đầu tư một lượng đáng kể năng lượng làm việc với những người khởi tạo tài liệu giảng dạy về các bài tập trước khi tạo ra thay vì chỉ đơn giản là chuyển sang giai đoạn phát triển.
For instance, while voice-over slides may help you take in a solitary idea at a point in time, we've learned through research and client meets that our clients regularly want something beyond crucial information on subjects. That is the reason we put such a great amount of time in pre-creation.
Realizing that a learner's close to home life, temperament, inspirations, or even everyday occupation obligations can assume a part in the amount they hold, he sees magnificence in permitting somebody the chance to prepare when they are prepared to devour the current data. "On the off chance that you learn a little bit at a time and join your learning into your work life (or examination!), that learning turns out to be a piece of your experience and the other way around. You know why you are learning what you are learning, and you can without much of a stretch fit the new pieces with what you definitely know.
Genuine learning and expertise improvement are what any administrator and understudy crave. Remaining dormant will not the slightest bit help your clients or colleagues develop. We're right now dealing with digital preparing portfolios particular to Microsoft and Application Development, however we additionally have other extensive themes on the guide that scale territories like cloud and cybersecurity.

Summaries for TMEM43 Gene
This gene belongs to the TMEM43 family. Defects in this gene are the cause of familial arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia type 5 (ARVD5), also known as arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy type 5 (ARVC5). Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia is an inherited disorder, often involving both ventricles, and is characterized by ventricular tachycardia, heart failure, sudden cardiac death, and fibrofatty replacement of cardiomyocytes. This gene contains a response element for PPAR gamma (an adipogenic transcription factor), which may explain the fibrofatty replacement of the myocardium, a characteristic pathological finding in ARVC.

Home > For Parents > Advocating for Public Ed.
BC teachers are reaching out to parents and concerned members of the public to support public education in every community in the province. We invite you to join with us in striving to maintain quality public schools and securing a bright future for our students.
Teachers are very concerned about school closures, overcrowded classes, and the lack of support for children with special needs. Years ago, the government promised to reduce class-size and class-composition problems, but students are still waiting for the support they need.
As parents, you may be wondering why the BCTF is involved in advocating for adequately funded public education. Our decision to make education a priority stems from our commitment to public education. Inherent in this commitment are the principles and ideals of the
Charter of Public Education. Foremost among these is that everyone has the right to a free, quality public education.
Teachers are also very concerned about the impact of the excessive focus on testing, data collection, measuring and ranking. The brochure "
Talking about teaching and learning" may help to begin a discussion of these issues.
Since 2002, more than 200 public schools in BC have closed. The number of closures in such a narrow space of time is unprecedented in our province's public school history.
The BCTF has compiled and made public a comprehensive accounting of the
closures in BC school districts since the BC Liberals were elected in 2001. Go to our
school closures page for more information about the impact of cuts in communities.

GENEVA (Reuters) - George Clooney has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for U.S. presidential candidate Barack Obama by headlining an exclusive event for Americans in Geneva, one of the world's most affluent cities.
Some 170 contributors have paid $1,000 a head to attend a cocktail party with Clooney at a museum in Geneva's Old Town on Tuesday evening.
And 75 high-rolling supporters have spent $10,000 each to attend "an intimate seated dinner" with the 47-year-old star which follows at the organizer's nearby apartment, according to the American lawyer who organized the twin "private" events.

Talk:Oxford/Cyclox map 2009
There's been no activity on this page since March, so I've had a bit of a clearout. Anyone out there?--RichardMann 15:00, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
There's quite a lot of features on the OSM cycle map in the Oxford area, but it's all gone a bit quiet. Certain features don't have agreed ways of recording them, yet.
- Distinguishing between good and bad cycleways (lack of dropped kerbs, too narrow, cycle barriers). Can't agree whether to call bad ones "footways" or "cycleways".
- Showing cycle lanes on one side of the road only
- Other things that it would be nice to do if that had been sorted (eg indicating the pinchpoints on the main roads, such as under the railway bridge and Woodstock Road from Beech Croft Road to Leckford Road)
This means that we may have to expand the project to include creating our own electronic scalable map. Some of the features of the existing OSM cycle map may be quite hard to reproduce (such as the marking of cycle routes, and hill-shading), so this may cause as many problems as it solves.
Looking ahead a little... Imagine everything's mapped and we're happy with how OCM is showing it, what's next? Is there going to be a printed version? --Khickman 09:27, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
Fix(es) Required
It's too far for me to come over and check, but it looks like there's a cycleway that needs joining to Parker Road, South Hinksey... http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/3366485 --Khickman 14:10, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
While casting around for examples of separate ways on bridges I couldn't help thinking Donnington Bridge "looks wrong" with the cycleway having it's own bridge. Having chewed over what to do with the A40 cycleways as they approach Wolvercote I can see the reasoning for doing that way - but it still "looks wrong". I see there's a proposed relation that might take care of it, can that be implemented now? --Khickman 14:10, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
Local Cycle Network Routes
Most "quiet" routes have now (18th Feb 2009) appeared on the Oxford map. Quite a few cycle lanes have now been added on main roads, but not where there are only cycle lanes on one side of the road.--RichardMann 19:08, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
- The routes aim to show good quiet ways of getting around the city avoiding the traffic. This is a sort of distillation of local knowledge (which is why in OSM terms they can be justified as "mapping what's on the ground", even though most routes will only (so far) have intermittent signs, if any).--RichardMann 22:58, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
- Numbers have been added. Separately, we are hoping to get the County to improve the labelling on these routes.--RichardMann 15:00, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
Pedestrian Crossings
The way to code these changed (it used to use the UK-specific bird/animal names). Now they should be:
Crossings at traffic lights
Crossings mid-block
It is useful to add these - especially cycle_barriers. They should be placed a little way back from the junction, if they only affect one path. If there's a gate but it's almost always open, or locked (with access round the side), then maybe barrier=entrance is a better bet if the route is unobstructed, barrier=cycle_barrier if you have to slow down.

The blog will probably not go private May 1. I still intend to do that but before I do I want to find a way to merge the MOI Med List blog with this one and right now I don't feel well enough to figure out anything. But it will go private so watch here for updates. Maybe the new goal should be June 1, just to keep that easy to remember?
So a lot has changed. I talked to Dr Brain and because I needed something immediate and I can't afford even a week of Latuda (it would be about $200 for 7 days) that's not going to work right now. So she increased my Seroquel to 1500 mg, an incredibly high dose. However she says I can stay on it that way for some time if I need to. I'm also back on valium pills because she thought maybe the alcohol base for the liquid was causing problems.
So far I've gotten between 5 and 8 hours of sleep each day. It's never been consecutive but usually I wake up for a while and then take a nap. I'm much less sedated than I expected which is probably how strong the mania is.
IT is working somewhat. The better sleep is really good and really important. Dr Brain said that's the thing to worry about right now. Tonight is a bad night and hopefully soon I'll be calm enough for my 2nd dose of valium. Last night I didn't need the 2nd dose at all. The voices are quieter now although my thoughts are still racing terribly. I usually wake up feeling quite depressed and by afternoon am manic and it increases until I pass out.
I was completely off Emsam for 3 days. I put 1/3rd of my usual dose on tonight and will wear it 12 hours then it will be off 12. We're doing that very cautiously as I don't need added agitation but I don't need to crash into depression.
Right now I'm safe from the hospital if I keep improving. That is very good. I was pretty scared that was coming.
It's still really hard. This is the worst I've felt in a long time. It's so hard to function at all like this. But I am getting some sleep and am not totally knocked out so that's good.

Re: [QF-Test] Using the char "b" on SWT application activates theRecord Components feature
Hi Gadi, Yossi, the Component hotkey is intended to be configured to a function key, because its treatment of modifier keys is special: An additional (or missing) modifier makes the component recording mode "sticky", so you can record more than a single component. Why did you change it from F11 to Alt-B in the first place? You can modify the setting anytime in the global options under Record->Components. Just click on the field and press the desired key combination (and use something without a plain letter).

Twenty Years Later…
My high school reunion came, and then it went. I did not attend.
It wasn't as though I were oblivious to the occasion. Plans were underway for quite some time, I knew about them, and I'll admit that for the briefest of moments I did consider going.
I have a friend who couldn't believe I was even entertaining the thought of skipping out on my 20th high school reunion.
"How could you do that?" she asked incredulously. "You have to go! You'll have so much fun!"
I gave serious thought to her words for about five minutes. They were coming from someone whose high school experience greatly differed from my own. Her senior class had fewer than 50 kids. She lives in the same tightly-knit town she grew up in, the same one where most of the people she went to school with also still reside, and whose kids now attend the same school alongside her own—and mine. Everybody runs into each other all the time at the gas station minimart or while they're stopped at the only stoplight in the center of town.
My high school? It had just under 250 seniors. Many of them—myself, included—fled from the city as soon as they were able, so 1994 Woodrow Wilson graduates have been spread across the country like seeds on the wind. Fourteen years, a marriage and two kids later, I finally settled down about 20 miles from where I grew up, but most of my closest friends from high school live nowhere near our hometown.
None of them are the type of people who would attend a high school reunion, anyway. That probably speaks volumes for the company I keep.
"But you have to go! It only happens once and you'll regret it forever if you don't!"
I heard those same words right around the time of my senior prom. I went to my prom because I didn't want to look back one day in the distant future and regret not going. My boyfriend at the time took me to the only high school dance I ever attended but I don't think he really wanted to be there, either. The deejay was terrible, the food was mediocre and definitely not worth the price of admission. At the end of the evening when we left—early—to go and shoot some pool at a friend's house, I realized that prom was nothing but hype. Legend. A romanticized ideal perpetuated by teen movies and cautionary tales which reiterate a notion that one day we'll regret the decision not to attend.
Prom was a waste of two hours of my life that I'll never get back, so I decided that I wasn't going to fooled by that advice a second time. The world would not end if I didn't attend my 20th high school reunion and I certainly wouldn't be missed.
Well, I'm pretty certain, at any rate. I did some online sleuthing out of curiosity but Facebook was oddly quiet after the event last fall; no one posted anything about it. For all I know, the plans fizzled out and nobody went.
Maybe we all had the same idea.
Thanks to decent genetics, I haven't changed much in 20 years. My hair is different now. My breasts grew a couple sizes bigger after having kids but Gravity hasn't had her wicked way with them yet; they look fantastic. Even better than when I was in high school, if I do say so myself. I marvel at them in the mirror sometimes. Seriously. They are incredible and they're the source of all my power.
More importantly, I didn't go to my reunion because I don't feel the need to compare and contrast or compete with who's got the most interesting life now. That seems to be the real reason that people attend these things, right? Not to catch up with one another, no matter how much we might convince ourselves of that noble goal, but to see who's done exceedingly well for themselves, who's turned into a raging alcoholic, who's living in a cardboard box under a bridge. I don't see the point. We're all making our way through this world the best we can. What more is there to say about it?
Truth be told, I was also a little afraid to go because of a real possibility that no one there would even remember me. I was one of those "sweet" girls who got along with everybody, belonged to no cliques, didn't do any extracurricular activities aside from working backstage for the drama department during my senior year. I was very plain. I didn't stand out. I was entirely forgettable.
I'm left to wonder whether that isn't a small part of the reason I dye my hair bright colors. People might not remember my name or my face, but they'll remember seeing that chick with the pink hair, spotted only for an instant before being lost among the crowd.
That small aspect of myself has become one of the biggest parts of my identity. It's also why, twenty years later, no one I attended school with would be likely to recognize me now. That's probably for the best, I think. I don't need to relive those "glory days" because they weren't glorious. They were just… days.

There are three bands that go by the name of Giant.
1) An American aor/hard rock band that was formed in 1987 by brothers Dann and David Huff. The band had one hit single with its power ballad I'll See You In My Dreams. They disbanded in the early 90's after two studio albums. Dann Huff revived the Giant name in 2001 with the album entitled, "III". Dann is a high-demand session player and producer in Nashville who has worked with many artists from Faith Hill to Megadeth.
2) (Current) An experimental doom metal band in the vein of Isis, Pelican and Neurosis hailing from North Carolina. They have released a EP (Song) as well as a split with past tour mates Tides. Giant blend innovative instrumentation, including strings and organ, with their heavy, towering, yet melodic sound. They uphold strong anti-capitalist, vegan, straightedge ideals, and both intellectual and deeply passionate elements can found in their music and lyrics. Giant has released music through Southern Empire records and Level Plane and recently signed to The End records.
The band have now changed their name to Brave Young.

(Cheer up Jon, today's gonna be a bright, bright, sun-shiny day!")
Jon Jones is not a good person. It's something that he's demonstrated at nearly every turn — first when he decided to drive drunk and subsequently total his car with two passengers onboard, then when he decided to…drive drunk and/or stoned and subsequently total his car by smashing it into a pregnant woman. Did I mention that he fled the scene in that second instance?
But Jon Jones does happen to be a GREAT fighter, and that's all the UFC really cares about. I don't mean to say that as if they shouldn't. Here's an organization that re-hired Thiago Silva after he battered his wife and had an armed standoff with police, glossed over the facts of Anthony Johnson's domestic abuse case(s), and unflinchingly booked Reza Madadi a fight the moment he was released from prison for his role in an aggravated burglary. If Charles Barkley doesn't have to be a role model to play basketball, then Jon Jones sure as Hell doesn't have to pass basic decency standards to bash someone's head in.
As such, the UFC has decided in their infinite wisdom that today, just 6 months after Jones was involved in said hit-and-run and just a third of the way into the 18-month probation he was sentenced to, would be a great day to officially end his suspension.
Details after the jump.
"We've made it clear to Jon that this new opportunity to compete in UFC is a privilege and not a right, and that there are significant expectations we have regarding his conduct moving forward," said Lorenzo Fertitta. "We're happy to read and see reports that he has embraced the terms of his plea agreement and is using this experience to grow and develop as a person."
I mean, what was the UFC brass supposed to do, book new champ Daniel Cormier against Ryan Bader?!! Ew, you guys. Just ew. The 205 pound division needs its champion, we need its champion, and we don't give a sh*t how many times he commits a heinous act, or whether or not the victims of his heinous acts are still nursing their wounds. HE IS A GREAT FIGHTER, and thusly, he deserves to fight for our entertainment at any cost.
It's called separating the person from the professional, which is why Woody Allen gets to keep making as many films as he wants no matter how many children he diddles. Or why we've all grown so fond of convicted rapist Mike Tyson. Grow up, you guys. Any attempts to call Jones out for being a reprehensible asshole who has screwed up too many times to receive forgiveness/UFC employment will be met with a firm noogie.
Glad that's settled. Now let's hear what the champ has to say (via Jones' Facebook):
I am grateful for the opportunity to resume my career and I am excited to show how much I've grown as a person outside of the octagon. It took me losing almost everything I had worked for to realize how much I had. I am blessed and humbled by the continued support of the MMA community and I can't thank my fans enough for their unwavering support through my ups and downs. This marks the beginning of a new chapter in my life and my career and let me assure you, the best is yet to come.
"The best is yet to come."
Oh my God. Jon Jones is going to KILL SOMEONE the next time he gets behind the wheel.

I wanted to like this car, but it's no Trans Am.
Babied, would it get 7 mpg? Try 1 city / 2 highway. There are no seat belts.
There are some nobs but nothing works. The cabin smells of half-burnt gasoline. And unburnt gasoline. Also, dust.
The engine is loud and annoying.
Air conditioning is basically a hole in the floor. Ford's 390 block was borrowed from their pickup line and you can tell. All the wheels do is spin, spin, spin. It should have low profile tires. The tires get very hot. Everything gets very hot. The exterior is made out of metal. Very wasteful.
The brakes do not work like you think they would. This car has three gears but only tries to use one or two.
Seven people can fit comfortably outside the vehicle.
251 were made. Obvious why.

Dogs are omnivores. They are members of the carnivore group, but anyone who has ever been in the same room with one knows beyond a shadow of a doubt they will eat just about anything that falls onto their radar. If you think dogs don't like corn, peas or grains, just let a toddler dribble the contents of his creamed veggies onto the floor and watch your dog go to town. Dogs are omnivores, and as such, they can eat just about anything humans can.
What Vegetables & Fruits Are Good to Feed My Dog?
Skin and Coat
Any vegetables and fruits that are good for you are good for your dog and for the same reasons. The folate found in carrots, apricots and pumpkin is good for you because it helps aid in tissue growth and cell production in humans. It does so in dogs as well. Likewise, green leafy vegetables provide red blood cell production and maintenance of skin and coat. The riboflavin in the leafy greens, as well as the vitamin B2, is healthy for both dogs and people.
Immune System
Fruits and vegetables high in vitamin C, or ascorbic acid, aid in the proper functioning of the immune system. Citrus fruits, berries, cauliflower, tomatoes, green peppers and certain kinds of lettuce are all good sources of vitamin C. Your dog might not like oranges, grapefruit and tangerines, but it won't hurt him to eat it. Dogs with joint and musculoskeletal disorders can benefit from vitamin supplements as well as fresh fruit and vegetables that contain these ingredients. The canine body can manufacture its own vitamin C but not in enough quantities to suffice.
Pumpkin, Apples, Peas, Carrots and Oranges
Canned pumpkin is an excellent addition for your dog's diet, according to The Daily Puppy. Pumpkin not only adds beta-carotene, an immune booster and cancer fighter in humans (although not definitively proved in studies with dogs), but high fiber as well. Apples can be given in moderation, though the seeds should be avoided as they contain cyanide, which carries oxygen from the blood. Peas provide calcium, potassium and magnesium, as well as other nutrients.
Absolute Do Not Feed
Perhaps a discussion of what fruits and vegetables that can be fed to a dog is simpler if the list is reduced to those items that should not be fed to a dog. Virtually every fruit or vegetable a human being can eat, with the exception of the following, can and should be fed to a dog for a well-balanced diet. Items that dogs should never eat include: grapes, chocolate, caffeine, raisins, onions, garlic, mushrooms and certain items with the artificial sugar substitute Xylitol. Onion and garlic powder or salts are suitable for addition to homemade dog biscuits, however, because it is in such a small amount.

MacBook Pro intermittent recharging
Hi guys,
Recently my MB started to recharge intermittently. When i connect my laptop to the power supply the led randomly change from orange to green while the screen changes its brightness and, as a consequence of this, my battery gets recharged intermittently. I thought that it was due to the cable of the magsafe power supply but there aren't any damages along it.
However the problem is visible when the device is used, because when it's off or in standby mode the led is orange until the battery is full charged, then it normally turns green.
I tried to reset the SMC and i disconnected the battery but nothing changed
Battery is at 90% of its health (according to battery health) and it has 835 cycles and it is 5.1 years old
OSX El Capitan 10.11.4
Is this a good question?

Japan's Nikkei share average edged up to hover near two-year highs on Tuesday morning as a weaker yen helped exporters rise, while financial stocks rebounded from Monday's declines. The Nikkei gained 0.4 percent to 20,233.23 in midmorning trade after hitting as high as 20,250.10 earlier. The index hovers last week's high of 20,318.11, the highest level since August 2015. The dollar stood tall on Tuesday, pushing to more than a one-month high against the yen as investors waited to see if Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen would stick to her positive economic outlook at an event later in the global session. The dollar was at 112.03 yen, the highest since May 24.
Traders said that volume may be subdued with few major catalysts from both the domestic and overseas markets. On Monday, volume on the Tokyo Stock Exchange's First Section was 1.396 billion shares, the lowest level in nearly a month. "The fundamental mood is not bad, but it's hard for investors to find a direction on a day where there is no other major catalysts other than a weak yen," said Hikaru Sato, a senior technical analyst at Daiwa Securities.
Exporters gained ground, with Toyota Motor Corp rising 0.7 percent, Panasonic Corp soaring 1.5 percent and Canon Inc advancing 0.7 percent. Financial stocks rose, with banks and insurers rising 0.9 percent and 0.8 percent, respectively. Mizuho Financial Group rose 0.6 percent, Dai-ichi Life Holdings added 1.0 percent and T&D Holdings surged 1.5 percent.
Troubled air bag inflator maker Takata Corp, which filed for bankruptcy protection in the United States and Japan on Monday, was untraded with a glut of sell orders and was marked down at 110 yen, a daily limit low. The broader Topix rose 0.4 percent to 1,618.93 and the JPX-Nikkei Index 400 advanced 0.5 percent to 14,398.53.

ATHENS, Ohio (AP) -- A former southeastern Ohio police chief has pleaded guilty to permitting drug abuse and will surrender his badge as part of a plea agreement.
The Columbus Dispatch reports (http://bit.ly/IrcqF2) former Buchtel (BOOK'-tuhl) police chief Kelsie Lanning pleaded guilty Thursday to a felony charge of permitting drug abuse. The 33-year-old was arrested in February after police said he gave his girlfriend money he knew was being used to illegally buy prescription medication.
A plea agreement includes no jail time but 80 hours of community service. Lanning also can no longer be a police officer under the deal. He had also held a part-time job with New Straitsville Police.
The newspaper reports Lanning's girlfriend faces multiple drug-related felonies from the Feb. 15 arrest.
Lanning's attorney did not immediately return a message Thursday.

This morning, gem of all gems, Betty White, told Meredith Vieira on "Today" that she plans to sing, act, dance, and even show us a little bit of skin when she hosts "Saturday Night Live" this Saturday. But not too much, because she's classy and she has to be as professional as Jay-Z (the musical guest). But still, lesson learned, everyone: after seven decades in entertainment Betty is still keen on proving she's not above the rest of 'em.
