Bret Michaels bares all on the cover of Billboard's 'Maximum Exposure 2010' issue.
The "Maximum Exposure" issue lists the 100 best ways to get music seen & heard.
"I said, 'Listen, I have two requests—good lighting and a warm room. That's all I'm asking for," 47-year-old Brett tells E! News.
His prep work for tne shot? "I didn't eat for a day and I did about 2,000 sit-ups," he says.
Meanwhile, be sure to look for Bret tonight as he headlines the Land Shark Tailgate Stage before Monday Night Football (Miami Dolphins vs. New England Patriots). "It's the ultimate high," Michaels says. "My whole rock-jock dream has come true….I get to go into the stadium, get to throw some football and I get to play music. That, for me, is a dream come true."

PHYSICOCHEMICAL PARAMETERS AND FATTY ACID COMPOSITION OF CASHEW NUT (Anacardium occidentale) OIL.
A.S. Abitogun and F.B. Borokini
Keywords: Cashew nut, extraction, oil, physicochemical, unsaturated fatty acid.
The cashew tree (Anacardium occidentale) is native to Brazil and lower Amazons. This cashew has been introduced and is a valuable cash crop in the Americas, the West Indies, Madagascar, India and Malaysia (Frankel,1991). Cashew tree will tolerate a wide range of conditions including drought and poor soil, but cannot withstand cold frost. The major producing countries of cashew are Tanzania, India, Mozambique, Srilanka, Kenya, Madagascar, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Nigeria, Senegal, Malawi and Angola. World Bank data estimate that 97% of production is from wild trees and only 3% is from established plantation (Rosengarten,1984). Cashew is a highly valued edible nut, and yields two 'oils'- one of these, found between the seed coat (or pericarp) and the nuts, is called the cashew nut shell liquid. It is not a triglyceride and contains a high proportion of phenolic compound. It is used in the industries as a raw material for brake lining compounds, water proofing agent, preservatives, manufacturing of paints and plastics. However, the oil is toxic and corrosive to the skin.
The other oil, which is the edible oil, can be extracted from the nuts, it contains triglyceride but no evidence of commercial processing has been found. Cashew apples are sometimes made locally into fruit juices, wine and pickles. The apples are very sour and stringent until fully ripe, and become edible. A number of processes have now been developed for converting the cashew apple into various products such as formulated juice, jam, syrup, chutney and beverages
(Winterhalter et al,1991). Cashew nut oil is completely neutral when is unprocessed and is the best for human health. It is especially rich in unsaturated fatty acids and is least damaging to heart and arteries. In fact, it constitutes about 47% of the total weight of the nut. Nut often produces oil half their weight, the oil is referred to as 'good fat' and the ratio of saturated to monounsaturated to polyunsaturated fatty acid is 1:2:1 which is ideal for human consumption. According to Achal (2005) the relative abundance of monounsaturated fatty acids in cashew nut oil is conducive to promotion of good health and poses no nutritional risk.
There are studies on the nutritional composition of the seed and the physicochemical properties of the shell nut liquid but little information has so far been provided on properties of the oil. This paper is aimed at a presentation on extracting and assessing the physicochemical parameters and fatty acid composition of crude cashew nut oil.
hexane as solvent. The crude cashew nut oil samples obtained were assessed for physicochemical parameters and fatty acid composition. The moisture contents, specific gravity, were determined according to official standard method AOAC, (1990).
The refractive index was determined by Abbe Refractometer while colour was determined using Lovibond Tintometer in one inch cell. The colour which was in units was calculated based on (5R+Y-B) where R is red pigment, Y is yellow pigment and B is blue pigment (Carson,1991). The smoke, flash, fire points were measured by American Society of Testing Materials ASTM, (1985). Turbidity was determined using Palm Test Turbidity Tube (ASTM,1985). The chemical properties of the oil sample such as free fatty acid, acid value, saponification value, peroxide value, and iodine value were determined by standard method AOAC, (1990). Analytical test method for fatty acid methylesters was carried out using Agilant 6890 series Gas chromatography filled with enhanced integrator. Nitrogen gas was used as carrier gas, the column initial temperature was 2300C rising at 100Cper minute to a final temperature of 2750C while the injection and detector were maintained at 2300C and 2750C respectively. A polar capillary column of 30 meters in length and 0.32 millimeters diameter was used to separate the esters. The peaks were identified by compares with standard fatty acid methyesters ASTM, (1985).
Table 2: Fatty acid composition of crude cashew Nut (anacardium accidentale) oil.
These characteristics that are necessary for the confirmation of identity and edibility of oil were free fatty acid and acid alne (Benerdini,1973). The value obtained for free fatty acid and acid value were 4.52 (% oleic acid) and 9.04% oleic acid respectively. These values were indication that the oil can be refined to edible vegetable oil, and apart from this, it implies that the oil may stimulate oxidative deterioration which can result to formation of off–flavour component. However, the acid value was close to 9.04% oleic acid reported by Akinhanmi et al,(2008). The result of the peroxide value was 7.73 meq peroxide/kg. The peroxide value is again an indication that the oil would be susceptible to oxidative rancidity. The saponification value was 145.0 mg K0H/g oil, which is lower than the values for some common edible vegetable oils such as palm oil (196-205 mg K0H/g) and soy beans oil (190-210 mg K0H/g oil) reported by Salunkhe et al,(1992). However, the saporification value was within the same range of some edible vegetable oils as reported by Eromosele et al, (1994). The iodine value was 37.35 mg iodine/100g.The unsaturated glyceride of oil is the ability to absorb a definite amount of iodine (Benerdini, 1973). This gave an insight to presume that the oil contain high unsaturated hydrocarbon and it will not be stable at ordinary temperature.
Table 2 depict the fatty acid composition of crude cashew nut oil. The fatty acid detected were myristic acid 0.16%, palmitic acid 13.77%, palmitoleic acid 0.68%, stearic acid 1.34%, oleic acid 47.79%, linoleic acid 29.67%, linolenic acid 0.01%, Arachidic acid 4.07%,behenic acid 2.27%, and lignoceric acid 0.31%.Also detected were caprylic acid, cupric acid, lauric acid, and erucic acid but the values were infinitesimal. The fatty acid detected in this sample could be compared with the fatty acid detected in other edible vegetable oils as reported by Guy, (2000). The summary of the fatty acids in the oil were as follows; total saturated fatty acids was 21.60%, while the total unsaturated fatty acid was 78.14%, 0.26% were the percentage of fatty acid undetected. This might be as a result of impurities present in the crude oil. Oleic acid dominates the fatty acid present in the oil. Since unsaturated fatty acids have the highest
percentage, it implies that the oil may not congeal at ordinary temperature.

Although I'm getting happier with my productions, they still don't sound quite right to me. It is definately something to do with the mixing/mastering stage of production. For a while I've been pretty much ignoring these things called 'compressors'. Part of the reason for doing this is because I'm still not fully sure about what a compressor actually does. I've watched tutorials and read some articles and I think I'm finally understanding what a compressor is.
According to tuts, an online music production magazine "Compression is the process of lessening the dynamic range between the loudest and quietest parts of an audio signal." I quite like this definition because it's one of the few that I've seen that is not filled with jargon that's unknown to me. I would call it "balancing the loud bit and the quiet bits of a track to make it sound cleaner"… But that's just me.
I think my problem with learing compression is partly because I struggle to hear any real difference in sound when one is applied unless the gain and threshold sliders are drastically changed. One thing I've picked up whilst producing is that it's very easy to over-do effects.
When I have previously applied compressors to my sounds they have only been applied to an instrument each, mostly a kick drum or a clap. However today I watched this tutorial (below) which not only gave me some pointers on the general mixdown of my tracks, but also some compression techniques to try.
Buss Compression:
Like most terms in music production this is an overly confusing piece of jargon designed to slow the learning process and annoy many people. A 'Buss' refers to a group of sounds, for example the drums.
My own groups tend to follow the structure below.
DRUMS – Kicks, Snares, Hi Hats & everything else you hit with drums sticks
AMBIENCE – Spooky noises, white noises, just wierd noises in general
SYNTHS – Synthesised Pianos, Guitars, Brass instruments and loads of electronical sounds.
BASS – The lowest frequency sounds that I include in my tracks
So the 'DRUMS' group would be refered to as a 'Buss'. Buss compresssion is when you apply a compressor to this collection of sounds instead of just one sound. I am going to experiment with this form of compression during the next couple of days and see what effect this has on my mixdowns. Hopefully this will glue certain elements of my tracks together and result in a tighter sound overall.

At Methodlabs India, we are in the process of designing a democratic organization. This note outlines our current thinking on the Democratic principles we seek to follow. This note does not discuss our positioning, strategy or business plan.
To learn more about organizational democracy, please visit the worldblu.org website . If you have read Ricardo Semler's books Maverick! and The Seven Day Weekend , you would better understand what we are trying to do. The difference between Ricardo Semler's path breaking work at SEMCO and us is that SEMCO was an existing industrial group, but we are starting from scratch, now designing, later growing. This we believe gives us advantages as well as disadvantages but isn't that true of any choice situation?
To start with let us describe the 10 principles of Organizational Democracy listed by worldblu.org and how Methodlabs India proposes to follow these principles.
1 :: Purpose and Vision
"A democratic organization is clear about why it exists (its purpose) and where it is headed and what it hopes to achieve (its vision). These act as its true North, offering guidance and discipline to the organization's direction."– worldblu.org
We do not make any vision or mission statements because as our team expands our vision would expand. However to explain what we do: Methodlabs India works to offer Knowledge services to its clients and hopes to set high standards of quality, integrity and efficiency in the Industry. We start with three business units providing
- Marketing research data and analytic services called MarketLab
- Social and Developmental research data and analytic services called PeopleLab
- Test bed and Hatchery for New and creative knowledge services called" HatchLab" that would initially also serve as a central coordination unit for what is traditionally called "marketing", "administration" and "HR" functions
As we expand and recruit more partners and teams, our existing units may decide to split into specialized service units or form new units. The first two units will start earning profits from their first few contracts and the third lab would always be a cost center for designing, testing, incubating and developing new knowledge services besides central coordination tasks.
2 :: Transparency
"Say goodbye to the "secret society" mentality. Democratic organizations are transparent and open with employees about the financial health, strategy, and agenda of the organization."-Worldblu.org
Methodlabs India at the moment is a proprietorship. One person owns the company and there are 4 other employees. As we take on more leaders and teams the company will be registered as a privately held company (one year from the first business activity and income) with shareholders from:
- The investors
- The partners – heads of the business units, leaders- an employee could also grow to make partner
- The teams – A negotiated percentage of the profits will be distributed to all people in the company as A: profits made by/attributed to their lab B. Profits of the entire company (besides a fixed salary)
All shares would be held in trust by a suitable system. Quitting Investors, partners, employees would only get the value (suitably calculated) of the shares and not carry the shares away when they go away. Particularly sons, daughters and relatives will not get any undeserved role in the company because recruitment itself would be a democratic process.
The company accounts including the salaries and profits made by all the three shareholder types will be open to all employees and employees who do not understand the numbers would be guided to understand the accounts. If a senior person including the founder or a partner or a highly skilled employee feels uncomfortable about drawing an obscene income and wishes to keep it a secret, he would be an undemocratic person and not suitable to work in a democratic organization. This is not radical or socialist. We respect Individualism and Individual abilities and skills. We are only asking high worth employees or partners to be open and proud about their incomes and not hide it from the employees. Disclosing the income levels to the public of course would be discretionary and subject to the laws of the land.
We do not even believe that quotation of prices to clients are confidential. We are not comfortable with competitive financial-only bidding for knowledge services because a compromise on the pricing means compromise on the inputs that we would never agree. Will we survive in business? we think we will and there is always a market for people like us.
3 :: Dialogue + Listening + decisions
"Instead of the top-down monologue or dysfunctional silence that characterizes most workplaces, democratic organizations are committed to having conversations that bring out new levels of meaning and connection." – wroldblu.org
Not just conversations: Within each methodlab as well as across the company we would evolve bottom-up decision making mechanisms and not just have conversations but also allow the units and teams to take their own de-centralised decisions based on discussion and debate and voting where required. yes these conversations take a long time and sometimes never get resolved but that will not hold up any implementation because status quo or an ad-hoc decision would be always in place for critical processes till a democratic process improves the ad-hoc decision or status-quo process. In fact democratic teams are known to implement work processes faster because they have the power to apply common sense and not refer upwards or read huge manuals. The only manual in the organization would be a small cartoon filled booklet as implemented by SEMCO in brazil outlining the organizations principles.
4 :: Fairness + Dignity
"Democratic organizations are committed to fairness and dignity, not treating some people like "somebodies" and other people like "nobodies." – worldblu.org
Knowledge services, particularly research services use a large number of contract employees on a project to project basis. Even supervisors employed by the largest and most respected research agencies are paid daily wages with no job security. Quite often these people are the lowest paid and most often have low self esteem and are prone to minor misdeeds even research frauds, or accounting jugglery. At methodlabs we hope to change the working conditions of the least paid employees over time and when we have regular business in a geographic area, offer secure employment to the contract employees. Meanwhile our teams and partners would be trained to respect and accord dignity to all categories of humans working for the company including contract employees, consultants. Also the contract employees working on a project would have full access to all the information about the project within the limits of client confidentiality. This means that there will be no unnecessary "need to know -basis" restrictions that are in practice in the knowledge industry. The last worker would be encouraged to grow intellectually and understand why he collects a certain piece of data? or why a question is worded in a certain way? and even why he is paid what he is paid?.
A lot of talk is on in the country about affirmative action and here at methodlabs we would practice it and lead the private sector. Women still face a glass ceiling elsewhere and we are working to shatter that(true, this is not particularly difficult in the knowledge services Industry). Other ceilings for neglected sections of the society would not be allowed to form. If we find that our employee profile after two years of operations are skewed unfavourably despite our affirmative action towards disadvantaged sections of the society, we would not hesitate to introduce "reverse discrimination" or "reservations" as they are called in this country. Fairness and Dignity to all humans will be an uncompromising attitude of the company.
The research subjects would also be provided fairness and dignity and there are well documented ethical guidelines that only need to be understood and followed.
5 :: Accountability
"Democratic organizations point fingers, not in a blaming way but in a liberating way. They are crystal clear about who is accountable to whom and for what." – worldblu.org
Accountability is ensured easily when a strong democracy is in practise. Employees whose incomes / profit shares will be affected would not hesitate to correct mistakes, leakages and problems.
6 :: Individual + Collective
"In democratic organizations, the individual is just as important as the whole, meaning employees are valued for their individual contribution as well as for what they do to help achieve the collective goals of the organization."-worldblu.org
Our system of two types of profit sharing as well as the power given to the teams to decide how the profit would be shared or recruiting new employees and leaders (yes a leader or "manager/supervisor" as they are traditionally called would have to face interviews from the employees before she/he is selected) as well as the incentive of growth in salaries, promotions up to the highest levels would help in providing this importance.
We also would have a "Rotation policy" where all the partners as well as employees would have to work for other labs within methodlabs after a certain period (period will be decided jointly and severally). We believe that nobody is irreplaceable and people need not be restricted to a specialization. For example, a social researcher need not be restricted to social research projects but may have to supervise construction of a green building project of our " GreenLab". This policy has many advantages. for instance this would help evoke an interest among all employees in all the activities of the entire company. This would also prevent territorial domination or personal fiefdoms as Ricardo Semler calls it.
7 :: Choice
"Democratic organizations thrive on giving employees meaningful choices."
Methodlabs believes that all employees are adults and individuals first and employees and team members later. Flexitime, work from home or another place of choice, open office systems, choice to remodel the workplaces would all be team choices so that productivity is not affected. Dresscodes, vacations, transfers to other units (within rotation policy), use of personal time to work even for competitors (without affecting company interests of course) or decision to take sabbaticals or any other personal choices such as sexual orientation or love affairs would all be personal choices. Any deviations would not be punished but allowed to be corrected by peer pressure.
When employees grow and want to be a partner or start their own business even in competition to methodlabs, we would facilitate the process and encourage the effort.
8 :: Integrity
"Integrity is the name of the game, and democratic companies have a lot of it. They understand that freedom takes discipline and also doing what is morally and ethically right."-worldblu.org
The power of democracy we believe would ensure integrity at all levels particularly at the highest levels in the company. The company would not however encourage anonymous complaints and there wont be any need for a "company secret service" or whistleblower protection program" in a democracy where the minority wrongdoers would naturally fear the majority.
There is a need for some training and interventions to ensure work ethics and integrity and all employees would be made to understand that honest work will be the foundation of a long term success in the industry even if sometimes honesty affects the short term profitability of a project or unit.
Again, interventions when deviations happen would be only to the extent of protecting company interests and rest left to the democratic peer pressures to effect control. Decisions such as retrenchment or dismissal or other punishments would be a long and difficult democratic process. 'Long' because, over a longer period of time emotions will disappear and objectivity would set in. However the interests of the client and the project will not be compromised with in any manner.
Integrity will be maintained not just by employees in their implementation but by the entire company in business generation as well as implementation. To Methodalbs, money and short term growth is not more important than integrity, honesty and corruption free work.
9 :: Decentralization
"Democratic organizations make sure power is appropriately shared and distributed among people throughout the organization." – worldblu.org
The units we call "labs" would not be allowed to grow beyond a reasonable size and businesses would be split across more specialised units as we grow. Decision making would be at a project team level first followed by unit level and much later company level. Even within a project level if there are large teams, no team would be more than 7 members (why 7?- long explanation) and the smallest team or even the units would not have "Managers" or "sultans" or any bureaucratic hierarchies. There would be team members and coordinators and partners and if there is a need for a role differentiation, suitable terminology would be evolved by the individuals and teams.
10 :: Reflection + Evaluation
"Democratic organizations are committed to continuous feedback and development and are willing to learn from the past and apply lessons to improve the future." -worldblu.org
Methodlabs would never hesitate to accept a mistake, even to the outside world and not just to the clients. Every mistake will be documented in more detail for internal knowledge and later reflection.
There would be bi-annual evaluations and coordinators , partners and the working investors would be subject to reverse evaluation by their team members at all levels for their performance as well as democratic attitude.

Established in 2011 and located in Wilmington, North Carolina, Freaker USA quickly grew to be the global leader of preventing moist handshakes and sweaty beverages with high quality American-made products. They aren't just selling you their fit-everything product, they're giving you an invitation to their party - a starter kit for a new lifestyle. The Freaker isn't a strike-at-the-wind attempt to get rich, it's the background music to a never-ending journey. Infusing life, style and functionality into a drink insulator.
Freaker USA all started with a Kickstarter campaign in 2011, which raised $62,770 with the help of 2,416 backers. With that money, founder Zach Crain was able to do two life changing things:
1.Start production on a handful of Freaker designs in the grand ol' state of North Carolina!
2.Convert a box truck into a traveling neon-party-house, complete with a deck-stage and a guaranteed smile. Not willing to settle for standard marketing techniques, Zach and 2 co-founders travelled the country for four months, from coast to coast, breaking bread with the masses by throwing free grilled cheese parties and making it rain Freakers. You know. Like ya do. With every stop, the Freaker Family got just a little bigger. Every summer since that original adventure, the boxtruck has been making rounds across the country, spreading joy and freaking everyone.
Freaker USA returned to Kickstarter in 2015 to launch a colorful line of 100% American-made socks. Freaker Feet raised $255,264 with the help of 4,948 backers! The Freakerteam also starred in a feature length, critically appraised documentary about the crowdfunding revolution called Capital C! If you're in the mood for a Netflix & Chill, give it a peek!
Fast forward to present day, and you'll find that Freaker USA is a thriving little company filled with joyous little bunny workers headquartered in an old One Tree Hill set in Wilmington, North Carolina.
And the American Dream lived happily ever after.

On the morning of Oct. 13, 1993, Dean M. Lyles welcomed an agent from the Mutual Life Insurance Co. of New York (MONY) to his catering office on Brookville Road, in Silver Spring, with the intention of doing two things:
a) Applying for $730,900 in life insurance.
b) Telling, for reasons of love or money, the lie of his life.
"Your health?" asked the MONY insurance agent, Steven Gruber, that day.
"Fine," said Lyles, who knew better.
He was beginning to die of AIDS-related causes. But he told Gruber he'd had no illnesses in years, and specifically that he'd never been treated for AIDS or HIV infection.


text: Mambo Kings 199 #101 Posted April 8, 2017 From An outside perspective. It would seem valuable for PHRF committee members to race in the PHRF fleets. Rather than another rating rule division. Do those fleets even race on the same circles at major regattas? In our fleet, the majority of the ratings committee not only race on PHRF boats, they sell PHRF boats, make sails for PHRF boats, and recommend upgrades for PHRF boats. Some are even world class sailors in their own right. Guess which PHRF boats tend to do really well in PHRF? What on earth does doing really well in PHRF mean? Is there some way of scoring who had more fun than who. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I kinda spilled today's quota of those beans
in chris_is_cool's 'Second year at university' fred.

A Famous Fourth!
Challenge #6: What makes Famous Dave's All-American barbeque the perfect way to celebrate our country this 4th of July season?
The Fourth of July is a celebration of greatness. America is a great nation, first, because of its glorious history. The colonial underdogs overcame extraordinary circumstances to eventually become a world-wide leader in both humanitarian and technological endeavors. Famous Dave's humble beginnings are a testament to the American spirit. Dave Anderson, himself, overcame two bankruptcies, as well as his own personal demons, to become the founder of one of the "Hottest Concepts in America". Persistence and perseverence define America and Famous Dave's. They should be celebrated together.
Another reason America is a great nation is its rich diversity. My youth group is a microcosm of this greatness. Every week, I have the privilege of standing before no less than six distinct ethnic groups. I think of it as a cultural buffet. As they say, variety is the spice of life. People have asked me if I think I might get sick of Famous Dave's if I won free food for a year. Not with a menu that gives you so many choices! The BBQ is a cross country trip in itself. One visit may take me to Texas for melt-in-your-mouth brisket, the next one sends me to the deep south for some scrumptious chopped pork. Add one of five different sauces to give your travels a different feel. Then you can mix it up with an array of incredible sides or go after one of the best burgers you'll ever eat, the Ultimate BBQ Burger. You've got catfish, chicken tenders, smoked salmon, onion strings, chicken wings, nachos … we don't have the time. About the only thing more diverse than a Famous Dave's menu is … America itself!
You see, it only makes sense. Glorious history. Rich diversity. There's no better way to celebrate the Fourth of July than with Famous Dave's!
6 comments so far
I believe that there is a plethora of good answers for this challenge so I have decided to change the question to…
What doesn't make Famous Dave's All American BBQ the perfect way to celebrate this Fourth of July Season? NOTHING!!!
I loved the ethnicity of our youth group. 🙂

The eye can be taken a look at with relative ease as to both its function and its structure. A functional assessment includes the capability to relocate the orbit and the response of the pupil to light and lodging.
The function of the eye may be evaluated in numerous ways. The patient might be asked to identify illuminated letter or items of differing sizes on what is called the Snellen chart.
Conversely, the evaluation of the structural part of the eye might be made in several methods. Stress within the eyeball is determined by a "tonometer." In certain diseases, particularly in glaucoma, the stress in the eyeball is increased considerably.
However, it must be well remembered that a client with an eye issue may have other issues as well. Typically other physical conditions are primary and affect the eye as a effect. The look of the eye can notify the patient and the physician to difficulties in some disturbances of other parts of the body even before other signs provide themselves.
Subsequently, one's reliance on sight is emphasized when one deals with a possible or short-term irreversible loss of this important sense. When corrective procedures are looked for, certain forms of vision correction such as contact lenses or eyeglasses are recommended.
On the other hand, some people are troubled with that they have some framed lenses or contact lenses in front of their eyes.
For this factor, advanced surgical operations were established to encourage decreased usage of contact lenses or glasses. One of which is the now popular LASIK eye surgery.
Essentially, LASIK eye surgery is the brief term for "Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis." Like its tangible equivalent, LASIK eye surgical treatment is another form of vision correction. The only difference is that with this kind of surgical treatment, one's vision is remedied permanently.
With LASIK eye surgical treatment, the refractive mistakes in the cornea are permanently changed. This can be done using an "excimer laser."
The main purpose of this surgery is to produce a threadlike, rounded "flap" in the cornea using a blade understood as "microkeratome." In a series of unfolding and laser processing, the cornea is finally reformed, enabling better the eye to direct more light into the retina.
Appeal vs. Disadvantages
Amidst the growing popularity of LASIK eye surgery, there are still disadvantages that individuals must know. Probably, the main reason that this type of eye surgery has ended up being well accepted is since many of its cases had actually achieved success.
However, in spite of its success, there are still some downsides. Here is the list:
1. It is an operation used to the most delicate part of the eye
Since LASIK eye surgical treatment involves the operation of the retina, which is one of the most sensitive portions of the eye, the majority of people say that the operation can be extremely risky.
To puts it simply, a simple mistake could practically cause an person's lifetime loss of sight. It is important to consider numerous aspects prior to choosing whether LASIK eye surgical treatment is the right restorative procedure one has to undergo.
2. It is not a ideal treatment
LASIK eye surgical treatment might fix your vision but it does not always mean that it can provide you a best vision. Even if analytical reports reveal that 70% of the patients may have 20/20 vision, this does not always suggest they have perfect vision also.
Offered all these things, it can be deduced that, in spite of the popularity of the operation, LASIK might not constantly be the ideal eye surgical treatment the way find out here the majority of people see it
Conversely, the evaluation of the structural part of the eye might be made in several ways. It should be well kept in mind that a patient with an eye problem might have other problems. Often other physical conditions are main and affect the learn the facts here now eye as a consequence. The appearance of the eye can signal the patient and the doctor to difficulties in some disturbances of other parts of the body even prior to other symptoms provide themselves.
Like its concrete equivalent, LASIK eye surgery is another form of vision correction.
2 Considerations You Do Not Have Information Regarding LASIK Eye Surgical Procedure
The eye can be taken a look at with relative ease as to both its function and its structure. A functional assessment includes the capability to relocate the orbit and the response of the pupil to light and lodging.

Under / below / beneath
A question from Cindy in Taiwan:
Hello, I am Cindy Wang from Taiwan. I searched your archive and did not find a comparison between prepositions 'under', 'below' and 'beneath'.
Could you kindly explain?
Catherine Walter answers:
Hello Cindy. This is a good question and I'm sure that a lot of people have asked themselves this question. I can give you a general answer because vocabulary tends to be a bit fuzzy around the edges, but here goes.
First of all, to make the difference between 'under' and 'below'. Both of these words can mean 'in a lower position than', so there's a sense in which they mean the same thing. But we use them sometimes in different circumstances, for example, if you're talking about something being covered by something, we use 'under'. So, 'I hid the key under a rock'. Or, 'officials said there was nothing under President Bush's jacket'.
You use 'below' when you're talking about something that's not physically immediately under, or not necessarily immediately under. So you say, 'below the surface of the water'. That might be anywhere below the surface of the water, not necessarily just touching it. Or, 'twenty miles below the earth's surface', definitely not immediately under it. And, by extension, we say things like, 'below the poverty line'.
We also use 'under' when we're talking about 'younger than' or 'less than'. So, 'under a dozen times', 'under the age of ten'. Whereas we use 'below', if we're visualising a kind of vertical scale. So, 'below sea level', 'below average', 'an IQ below 80', 'radio waves below 22 kHz'.
There are a number of fixed expressions, so, for example, a lot of expressions about what's happening while something else is going on, or because of certain conditions, or controlled by something or someone. So we say, 'under construction', 'under fire', 'under attack', 'under arrest', 'under these conditions', 'under scrutiny', 'under pressure', 'under the Ceausescu regime'. All of those form a kind of a family.
So what about 'beneath'? Well, 'beneath' is basically more literal, or formal, and we use it in many of the same senses. But there are lots of fixed phrases, and so what you want to do is just read a lot and note when one is used and when the other is used. I hope those will give you some general guide lines, and that you'll enjoy keeping learning about these three fascinating words.

Wolves In The Throne Room - Diadem Of 12 Stars
Anyone else here into this album or this band? Really great stuff. Kind of like dark folk infused with epic black metal, quite lengthy songs.
Chiaroscuro's a fan
I like the name but haven't listened yet. I'll bookmark it for laters.
Ive ordered their recent album
but fucking postal strikes. They were one of the "hot acts" on last.fm a couple of weeks ago which was very odd.
Joey told me about this thread the other night! Yeah that album was one of my favourites of last year (or was it the year before?). The new album, Two Hunters may be even better. I'd give an opinion if my sound card wasn't fucked.

Although the disciples spent significant time with Jesus before and after His resurrection, they were slow to understand the true purpose of His kingdom. Alistair Begg explains that the mission of Christ was neither centered on politics nor marked by an attitude of escapism. The truth of the Gospel should motivate us to make Christ known in every generation.
1When the day of Pentecost arrived, they were all together in one place. 2And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. 3And divided tongues as of fire appeared to them and rested1 on each one of them. 4And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance.
5Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men from every nation under heaven. 6And at this sound the multitude came together, and they were bewildered, because each one was hearing them speak in his own language. 7And they were amazed and astonished, saying, "Are not all these who are speaking Galileans? 8And how is it that we hear, each of us in his own native language? 9Parthians and Medes and Elamites and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, 10Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya belonging to Cyrene, and visitors from Rome, 11both Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabians—we hear them telling in our own tongues the mighty works of God." 12And all were amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, "What does this mean?" 13But others mocking said, "They are filled with new wine."
14But Peter, standing with the eleven, lifted up his voice and addressed them: "Men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and give ear to my words. 15For these people are not drunk, as you suppose, since it is only the third hour of the day.2 16But this is what was uttered through the prophet Joel:
17"'And in the last days it shall be, God declares,
that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh,
and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
and your young men shall see visions,
and your old men shall dream dreams;
18even on my male servants3 and female servants
in those days I will pour out my Spirit, and they shall prophesy.
19And I will show wonders in the heavens above
and signs on the earth below,
blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke;
20the sun shall be turned to darkness
and the moon to blood,
before the day of the Lord comes, the great and magnificent day.
21And it shall come to pass that everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.'
Contemporary churchgoers may find themselves considering the early days of the Christian church with fond nostalgia. However, in reading through Luke's account in Acts, we find that the early Church was not a group of elite Christians. Instead, they wrestled with the very same challenges that face the twenty-first century Church today.
In this series, Alistair Begg traces a line from the first century Church to the twenty-first century Church by examining issues such as our alienation from God, our tendency to present a cheapened Gospel, the juxtaposition of divine predestination and human free will, our culture's obsession with idolatry, and God's ultimate power to save. We learn that the early Christians devoted themselves to the teaching of God's Word and the spreading of the Gospel by depending on the Holy Spirit, and we are encouraged to hold firmly to the truth of Christ's saving work as we engage our communities.

Rebuilding after two big disappointments earlier this decade, China opened with a 15-10, 15-5, 15-7 victory over the Netherlands.
China was led by Sun Yue with 17 kills.
The Chinese used key blocks to neutralize Holland's power hitter, Henriette Weersing, who had a match-high 21 kills in 55 attempts.
Bronze medalists in Seoul in 1988, the Chinese finished seventh among eight teams in Barcelona, then were eighth in the '94 World Cup. Lang Ping, star of the Chinese team that won the women's gold in Los Angeles in 1984, was called in and her regrouped team finished third in the '95 World Cup to qualify for Atlanta.
In other women's matches, Russia, playing under that team name for the first time in the Olympics, beat Germany, 15-5, 15-10, 15-7, to avenge a loss in the European Zone qualifying tournament. Also, Brazil crushed Peru, 15-7, 15-1, 15-5; defending gold medalist Cuba beat Canada, 15-8, 15-8, 15-5; and South Korea defeated Japan, 15-10, 15-12, 15-10.

Amateur Radio
I was first licensed in April 2010 after a friend introduced me to Amateur (Ham) radio. My first callsign was VK2FWWD, but have changed it to VK2FMIA which is a little easier to say, especially while contesting. I will get around to an upgrade one day.
I have always had an interest in radio, listening to broadcasts on an old HMV shortwave radio.
I purchased an Icom 7000 as my first transceiver. Combined with a Terlin 880 Outbakka multi-tap whip for HF and a LDG Z100+ tuner, all installed in my Nissan Patrol. I also use a 1/4 wave endfed wire for 40 meters, a quick and easy antenna while portable.
I enjoy working mobile or portable, using various antennas. Mainly using a ZS6BKW at my QTH, but have also put up a 40 meter MOXON and 40 & 80 Dipoles. Just recently I have been making VHF & UHF antennas, a QFH ( Quadrifilar Helix ) for weather satellites, 144 mhz twin Moxon and various Yagi`s. All my antennas are homebrew, something that I enjoy doing, usually finding bits and pieces lying around, putting them together and seeing how they work.
Recently I have been involved in the World Wide Flora & Fauna program for Amateur Radio. This involves working portable from a National Park and trying to log calls from home stations & other National Parks. More information on this on the WWFF & VKFF page, with links to various organisations that are involved.
Enjoy Contesting, usually as part of the VK2BOZ team but also as an single operator. More info on the Contesting page.
For more information on Amateur Radio or information on how to obtain an Amateur Radio license, checkout the Wireless Institute of Australia`s website at www.wia.org.au or your countries Association.

Men's and women's basketball comes to an end
Photo courtesy of The Chaparral
COD men's and women's basketball teams are at their last shot for a win with their last game on Feb. 15 at home against Palomar and Women's basketball Feb. 16 at home against San Bernardino Valley.
Although both teams will not be competing in the playoffs due to their poor records, men 1-21 and women 2-20, both teams will be fighting to the finish to conclude a rough season.
Assistant Men's Coach, Ken Simonds made mention that although the team has had a tough season, the players have managed to stick together as a committed team and continue to work hard. "I want to see them finish strong for the last two games and our sophomores be able to hopefully [have] somewhere to play." Simonds pointed out that the team's lack of concentration with executing their game plays, has been a setback as well as their lack of experience at the collegiate level."Hopefully we can find a consistent energy level to be better prepared for next year."
Freshman guard, Andre Allen added that the team needs a more consistent energy level when it comes time to execute for a win. "Sometimes we can get down or we can be [up] and sporadic with our energy, so hopefully we can find a consistent energy level to be better prepared for next year."
Men's basketball has had many close games this season such as a game against Mira Costa ending at 81-79 and a 40-point drop by Allen in play.
Aside from Allen who has been noticed for his excellence on the court, making 42 percent points per game and 4 out of five free throws on average. Sophomore guard, Philippe Salawa is another player who has had considerable attention.
Salawa was congratulated Honorable Mention All-Pacific Coast Athletic Conference at the end of the 2016-2017 season and is currently the team's highest scorer and rebounder with 16 points and 6 rebounds per game.
Their last win was against Imperial Valley, 92-88 with only a negative 4-point turnout, however the team still remains to be on a 11-game losing streak.
Women's basketballs last win against San Diego Mesa was a close game, 51-46 with a negative 5-point turnout and is on a 7-game losing streak.
Even with numerous losses, men's and women's basketball at COD will fight to win, as their season concludes. Salawa added, "no matter what we go through, no matter what adversity we face, I just want to make sure at the end of the day everybody went through and we came out as brothers and we came out united."

Lee Stempniak scored the winner and goalie Ondrej Pavelec made 33 stops as the Jets continued their work to solidify a playoff position with a 4-1 victory over the Edmonton Oilers on Monday.
Drew Stafford, Tyler Myers and Michael Frolik also scored for Winnipeg (38-23-12), which has won five in a row and gained important points in the Western Conference playoff race.
"We want to continue to keep this thing rolling," Stafford said. "We're not looking any further than tomorrow night against a desperate Vancouver team. They need the points as much as we do, the race is tight, so we're going to make sure we're trying to take care of our job and stay focused on the task at hand."
Added Jets head coach Paul Maurice: "Based on the two games we played prior with Edmonton, I'm happy with the way we played. It wasn't perfect, we're scratching and clawing right now."
Ryan Nugent-Hopkins responded for the Oilers (20-40-13), who have lost nine of their last 11 games.
"I don't think we played a bad game," Nugent-Hopkins said. "We out-shot them, and for a lot of time out-played them. We just couldn't find a way to score and gave them a few too many good chances.
Winnipeg got on the board first, six-and-a-half minutes in, as Stafford picked off an Oscar Klefbom pass and blazed into the Oilers zone before beating goalie Ben Scrivens with a wrist shot for his fourth goal and eighth point in his last six games.
Both teams lost players in the opening period as Edmonton defenceman Andrew Ference left with an upper body injury and forward Boyd Gordon went out with a bad back.
"They were missed tonight," said Oiler forward Matt Hendricks. "Guys had to play extra minutes and in different position than they are used to. Subsequently, it was kind of a chase all night."
Winnipeg lost winger Blake Wheeler after he took a deflected puck to the face, however he was able to return for the start of the third.
The Jets made it 2-0 five minutes into the second period as Stempniak was able to smack home a rebound during a scramble in front of the Edmonton net.
Winnipeg took a three-goal lead with four minutes remaining in the middle period as Myers ripped a shot off the post and in during a two-man advantage.
Pavelec kept the lead intact with a kick save on a late short-handed chance by Benoit Pouliot.
However, Nugent-Hopkins got the Oilers on the scoreboard just over a minute into the third with a wrist shot from the slot that beat Pavelec on the short-side.
Winnipeg got that goal back on the power play with just under eight minutes to play in the third as a big rebound came back to Frolik and he lifted his 17th of the season over Scrivens.
The Jets return to action on Tuesday in Vancouver. Edmonton next plays host to the Colorado Avalanche on Wednesday.
Notes: It was the final of three games this season between the two teams, with the Jets winning both the previous encounters in Winnipeg… Oiler forwards Jordan Eberle and Nugent-Hopkins each came into the game with 14 points apiece in their last seven games… Scrivens made his 15th start in Edmonton's last 16 games.

Today's word prompt, "denial" makes me sad. I spent most of my life living in denial and now that I am walking in the Blessing and God is doing amazing things, there are times like today that I find myself feeling challenged to deny how wonderful it feels and how incredible it is to know that I am loved so much, and if not deny, then at least minimize. I have not had anyone confront me on the joy that wants to explode out of me, but the enemy is constantly reminding me that nobody wants to hear how everything is always great. And it's not that I don't have hard things to deal with. Everyone does and I am no exception. I paid a high price to pass through the wilderness into where I am actually walking out my calling. The pain of what I had to walk away from can be relentless and I am not in denial about that. But I also can't deny that the fullness of joy that is only found in the presence of the Lord is so worth it! It causes living waters to want to rush out of me as if a dam just burst.
But the biggest reason it makes me sad is because there are so many people who are in denial about Christ. The cost of the cross has been on my mind heavily lately and it breaks my heart that people deny Jesus as their Lord and Savior. I wish everyone could experience what I am experiencing today but the truth is that it takes work and commitment. It takes sacrifice and denial of self and sadly there are people who will never willingly surrender while on this earth.
Regardless, God sent His Son to die on the cross and Jesus walked through being mocked, beat, spit on, having His beard plucked out, having a crown of thorns pushed down on His head, and more. Yet, He willingly went to the cross because of love. Perfect love never fails and Christ is perfect love. So when people deny Him, it hurts Him and that hurts me. And it hurts my heart to know that they are missing out on a personal relationship with a Savior that loves them extravagantly.
Worse than that, is that the people who are in denial about needing a Savior are going to Hell. They are and there is no use in pretending they aren't. People that you and I know, people we love deeply will spend eternity burning in Hell if they do not come out of denial, confess their sins, and accept Jesus Christ as their personal Savior. People need the Lord and the Lord needs His people to rise up and declare the glory of God.
How can I be a light on a hill, how I can bring light into the darkness if I minimize how amazing it is to be a child of God? I cannot deny that there is a joy in my soul that is bubbling up out of me. I know we will have problems until Jesus returns (which is going to be soon) but until He does, I think I will just have to be bubbly. I can't minimize what God is doing in my life. It would be very unfair and selfish because He is not a respecter of persons, everything that He is doing for me, He will do for you too! You are never more than one step away from surrender.
1 Peter 2:9 But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.
I say rise up! Let your light shine! Let people see Christ in you!
