The objective of this study was to understand the usage patterns of dietary supplements among professional athletes in Saudi Arabia. The survey consisted of sixteen questions divided into four categories: use of supplements, reason for consumption of supplements, personal beliefs about supplements, and behavior. The questionnaires were given to the three teams residing in Riyadh: Al Hilal, Al Nasr, and Al-Shabab. Out of the 105 athletes surveyed, we found that only 98 are currently taking dietary supplements and the mean age and standard deviation were . The survey results showed a high percentage of athletes (93.3%; ) using different dietary supplements throughout the season, 43.8% () reported using supplements for performance, and 32.6% () believed in health benefits as a reason for using dietary supplements. Our results showed that a total of 87 (88.7%), 81 (82.6%), and 51 (52.0%) athletes are consuming sports drinks, vitamin C, and multivitamins, respectively. Meanwhile, those supplements ranking among the least used included omega 6 (18.6%), creatine (16.3%), and Ginkgo biloba (10.2%). A majority of athletes indicated that their use of supplements was for the purpose of improving their health and performance.

HMS was (was...why?) great (with few pains) because it has option to capture all events as well as errors. With HMS developers has to design the UI for viewing the log information but with ELMAH, you just need to hit a URL to view log information.

Re: Why pressure won't get to Luke Brooks in 2018
Too hard to predict which halves are going to gel before comp starts. Any of those combos have the ability to fire if the players around them perform well. I wouldnt be righting any pairings off yet.happy tiger wrote: ↑Fri 19 Jan, 2018 12:09 pmYet a fair few of those sides will finish above us .......what gives I wonderWestsBenTigers wrote: ↑Fri 19 Jan, 2018 11:29 amI think Storm, Broncos, Manly, Parra, Rabbitohs and Titans are also worse off than us.Tacky wrote: ↑Thu 18 Jan, 2018 5:08 pmWorse halves combos than Brooks-Reynolds:
Foran-Frawley(Bulldogs), Austin-Sezer(Raiders), Green-Johnson(Warriors), Moylan-Townsend(Sharks). So, I have 4 teams with worse halves combos than us.
The players around them I guess , penetrating back rowers and quality 1,3,4 and 9's
What we all must remember is that we have good depth this year in the halves...no more JLJ or Jordan Rankin to fill the void when injuries strike..if need be Tui can come in as well as Benji,much more quality than previous..
You may see me struggle...but you will never see me quit...

The Globes are back in a partying mood
Studios, nets planning fetes after year offThe Golden Globes are out to party like it's 2007 this weekend as studios and networks try to get the festivities circuit back on track after last year's awards show was party-pooped by the WGA strike.
This year, the shindigs are back but not at all at full force, and some longtime players on the film side are noticeably absent.
Come Sunday night, NBC/Universal/Focus is back with a rooftop bash co-sponsored by Cartier. InStyle and Warner Bros. are back in their usual haunt at the Oasis Courtyard -- with a live band. And HBO is hunkering down at its traditional poolside perch, Circa 55.
New on the scene will be AMC, which is throwing a viewing party in the Stardust Room.
One of the great appeals of the Globes parties used to be that everyone partied under essentially one roof -- the Beverly Hilton, scene of the awards show -- with the hotel lobby acting as party central. But this year, more off-site bashes are ready to go.
Showtime is unveiling for the first time a viewing party and after-party in the Verandah Room at the nearby Peninsula Hotel, turning it into a giant living room with big flat-screens throughout. And Fox Searchlight is hosting a small dinner during the show at Century City restaurant Craft.
Not throwing bashes are the Weinstein Co. -- which perennially threw one of THE parties to get into at Trader Vic's -- and Paramount.
But in keeping with the economic times, and to not appear like a French aristocracy sipping champagne before the peasantry, some party hosts are trying to tone things down and not boast about how many bottles are being uncorked.
In order to keep costs down, for example, the InStyle/Warners party is re-incorporating some of last year's unused decor featuring a French theme and described as Hollywood meets boho chic. (But don't worry -- there will still be the Godiva Chocolate Lounge with its eye-catching chocolate look.)
Out of economic interests and environmental concerns, HBO's Billy Butchkavitz-designed 1960s sexy-themed party is reusing decor from other HBO and charity events, including staging, sets and even carpeting. The decor will then be donated to groups such as the Salvation Army and Out of the Closet.
Also throwing a party Sunday night is CAA, with a late-night whopper at the Sunset Tower Hotel.
Saturday's festivities include the BAFTA Tea Party, held in the afternoon at the Beverly Hills Hotel, and evening parties hosted by Disney and Miramax at the Beverly Wilshire, LA Confidential at Skybar and a dinner thrown by Paramount Vantage.

What do I need to have an astrological consultation?
You need your Birth Date, Birth Time, Location or Place of Birth, and where you live now. You schedule an appointment. If you do not have an accurate birth time, a consultation can take place with limited predictive work. Your birth time can be obtained by requesting the long form or vault copy from the county clerk where you were born, by checking in your baby book or with relatives. Let me know the source of your birth data when you book your appointment.
What happens in an astrology consultation?
The purpose of an astrological consultation is to provide information that enhances your understanding of the phases and cycles in your life. I will cover the energies you are currently experiencing, including the difficult ones. Often people seek out an astrological perspective while going through a period of life changes. Astrology helps you view the changes in your life from the perspective of your purpose for being here.
Astrologers can tell you WHO (the planet or situations) you will be working with, WHAT the energy or situations will feel like, WHERE in your life you will be experiencing the energy, and WHEN the period of energy will be completed. My favorite part is HOW! What is the point of knowing all Who, What, Where, or When if you can't DO anything about it? HOW is where this particular astrologer can offer various techniques and strategies to work effectively with the energy.
What will be covered in a consultation?
It depends on what you want. You are completely in charge of how we spend your time. I suggest you review the services section of my website to select what type of services you are interested in.
At the beginning of the session, I will ask you if there are any specific areas that you want to cover. I will have a good idea of where the action is happening in your life by looking at your chart before we meet. Your astrological chart is a map of your cosmic energy. You know how the energy is showing up in your life. I can read your cosmic energy map.
Our consultation involves ME describing the energy and how it is behaving and YOU applying it to your life's situation. It involves both of us looking at and working with your unique chart. You can 1) tell me what is going on or 2) be completely silent and let me talk for the entire time or 3) share what and when you want. WE can work together to figure out times and strategies for dealing with the energy showing up in your life. After the consultation is finished, YOU take the information, keep what you like, throw out what you do not like and go off to live your life.
What if you see something "bad" ~ will you tell me?
Maybe but lets talk about what your definition of "bad" is. If there are areas of your life that you do not want me to go poking around in, say so.
That said, no dire or firm predictions will be made about death or fatal illnesses due to ethical considerations as well as the impact of medical intervention (for example, dog bites don't kill us any more because we have antibiotics). If you seek that type of astrology, referrals can be made to professional astrologers who do that type of work.
Can I bring other people's charts for you to look at?
Yes, but ~ your chart will accurately reflect ALL the information needed for your reading. The "other people" will be vibrantly shown dancing in your very own chart. That said, sometimes your job is to help the "other person" deal with a situation so it makes sense to look at the other person's chart. As the astrologer, I always reserve the right to NOT discuss or disclose areas of another person's chart. We will focus on the places your charts interact and where you can act.
What if your predictions do not "happen"?My particular interpretation of the energy might not have happened but something did! First, we will check that your birth data, particularly your birth time is correct. If the time is wrong, the energy will have appeared elsewhere in your life (a different Where). Second, we will revisit how I interpreted the symbols! As everything under the sun and in your life is found some where in your chart, I might have picked the wrong version of the symbol.
For example, one client had amazing Venus (beauty, love and money) aspects combined with lots of intense time spent with a very handsome and virile Mars (male) energy. I predicted a great love entering her life during a specific period. Instead, the client spent oodles of money and time in a dental chair with her very handsome dentist. He worked on her, making her mouth beautiful. Oops! Mars rules surgery as well as men! Venus and Mars DID show up in her life but I had mislabeled HOW.
Are you going to talk in astrology words or regular words?
Whichever words you would prefer. I am fluent in both languages. If you are unfamiliar with astrological words, we can work completely in English. Make sure to ask questions if you do not understand what I am talking about!
I do not understand all the words in your columns on your site which makes me think I won't understand what you say.
My weekly weather columns include technical astrological terms because I started by writing for an astrology internet site. The writings are geared towards people who are already interested in astrology and want a slightly deeper level of information than a sun sign column provides. I hope to include enough English or imagery so that you understand what I am talking about. If you are a complete newbie to astrology, we can talk completely in English during your reading. And, consider signing up for my email list to receive my free monthly newsletter. It is designed for my clients and very English oriented.
Are you psychic?
Probably. It is a skill that develops with exercise! However, everything I say will be IN YOUR chart (and I will be able to point it out to you) ~ all the whos, whats, wheres, whens, hows and whys are part of your life and your cosmic map. I have trained in how to interpret cosmic maps. You can learn to read cosmic maps if you decide to study astrology.
What if I already go to another astrologer?
Great! I go to other astrologers too! Additionally, I talk to many astrologers all the time about what the planets are doing in the sky. Every astrologer brings his or her own unique chart and training to look at your unique chart. You can have more than one astrologer! Besides, astrologers have specialties, focuses and areas of interest. Astrologers are just people who read cosmic maps and share their understanding out loud of the symbols with you. You can learn to read cosmic maps too.
I make referrals to other astrologers when my clients need a different kind of astrology than the kind I like or am good at. Other astrologers make referrals to me. Different perspectives from different astrologers give you additional information to understand what is going on in your life. Astrology is NOT therapy where if you go to another therapist you are avoiding dealing with something or being "resistant". It is your life. You get to do what you want, including having 1, 2, 30 or 73 astrologers in your cell phone! The more the merrier!
How often do I come back?
Again, it is up to you. Some people come only once. Some people come yearly for annual updates. Some people come quarterly, monthly or every few weeks if or when they are going through a difficult period or desire additional astrological support. Some people decide to take private lessons or attend my classes. I am fairly flexible.
I do reserve the right to refuse to spend your money if nothing is going to change in your chart for a while. Think of the energies as changes coming into your life. You cannot make a baby by having 40 people get pregnant for a week each ~ it takes ONE person 40 weeks or 10 long lunar months to make a baby. That said, I can and will support you, astrologically, while you are going through your changes into a new life. You also have all the other people in your world that you can turn to for support.
My base rate is $179 per hour. You can schedule partial hours in phone sessions. If you want to come to my apartment for your consultation, the minimum time is an hour and a half, as I have to vacuum or dust before you come! I do not recommend spending more than 2 hours as your brain just will not be able to take it in.

Dog's skin disease: HELP
The problem is that this time I'm having problems with my male dog that developed a rash and it is spreading. It started in the leg where he lost some hair and now his belly is covered with rashes.
He has been linking himself a lot and I'm using all I'm discovering. I'm stressed now and I fear searching for a vet for I don't trust them and after researching reading numerous testimonies of people who took their pets to numerous vets and they prescribed lots of medicines - antibiotics, anti-histamines - and they didn't work.
I'm using gentian violet and a talcum powder with boric acid and salicylic acid after having used the flea controlling stuffs.
It is outrageous that we cannot trust physicians anymore and something simple is not healed because numerous people have to profit.
Missing the sight of a good scratch!
I'm so happy!
I did passed the antiseptic talcum powder in all the areas of the skin that had the rashes - the belly was terrible and even had blisters of pus - and the gentian violet twice a day.
It is funny that he opened his legs to help the whole process.
After a week I did bath him with an antiseptic soap and kept doing the treatment.
His belly is so beautiful again! The fur that was lost in some tiny areas are back.
There are no fleas anymore in the house I'm not sure they were the cause.
I got this treatment from a comment in a blog where a woman said that after going to numerous vets and using numerous medicines this is how she healed her dog.
It seems to me that gentian violet is not available in US over the counter.
If so, this is sad because I paid US$ 2,00 for it and the talcum powder and the soap costed US$ 5,00.
It took me US$ 7,00 to treat my dog and he didn't take any of these medicines that have a lot of side effects.
I'm so happy!

Ana, think about the negative (bad) stories you have heard. Would you hear of good stories? I think the angry have much more motive to tell their story , rather than someone who was helped (by genuine science).
You might have to put a dog collar-cone on the dog to prevent him from licking himself. It looks like a megaphone. If you put a lotion on the skin you also have to put a cone on him to stop him from licking the lotion.
Only you can decide when the problem is out of control and you have to ask for help from a specialist. Good luck from Mark.

The collar's name is Elizabethan collar.
He is getting better!
I'm so happy I did this research and insisted on this treatment!
Yesterday I gave him a bath with the soap that has the same stuffs the powder has and sulfur.
When later I turned his belly to pass the powder and the gentian violet it was so much better!
Today morning I did the same and he is almost healed!
I'll only update the post when things reach an end.
We have enough reasons not to trust physicians Mark.
Skin problems is extremely difficult to heal and I'm sure he would be on many drugs that it would only make things worse.
It got worse when I gave him antibiotics.
I always try first all I can. He was not getting worse so...
And the female didn't catch anything so I knew it was not contagious.
The thing about Kim, it is his name, is that he is a problematic kid, you know? lol
He fears everything. He fears going out, baths... he came to me like that at the age of two months.
I have to work on that.
Bonnie, the female, is not like this and is quite bold.
But we know that fear overcomes.
I would have to work with him a lot and I'm researching to find some strategies.
Rule number one: don't hold him and pet him when he is showing he's scared.
A lot to learn...
So, the skin problem can also be psychological...
Not sure.
Thank you for dropping by.
I'm not online lately.

Recently I was asked to do a design that had a touch of everything in it...
The property owner had made requests for:
- a pool with a water feature
- enough patio space to allow for a chiminea and sun lounge chairs
- deck space for dinning and BBQ area
- a covered hot tub space
- the cabana house with a small bar area incorporated in it
- privacy
- grass or lawn space to allow for kids to play and possibly have an ice rink in winter
- storage areas
- and last but not least....gardens!!!
The end result.... a cool looking backyard that will provide hours of entertainment that would extend into the winter months with the addition of the skating rink, the chiminea spot and the hot tub!!!

Marketing through email is a very economical and efficient way of communicating with potential and current customers and clients. When it is properly done, it can help you create brand identification and dependability.
Email marketing is a great bargain compared to traditional 'direct mail' marketing strategies. Furthermore, email marketing has a strong response rate with a range from 5 to 35 percent, depending on the industry type and format.
One advantage of email marketing is the amount of information that clients volunteer to you when they register for a subscription email. When you receive such specific information about your customers such as their gender, age, income range and especially their special interests, you can target your emails to explicitly accommodate those interests.
Advantages of Email Marketing:
1. You are bringing in an interested and receptive audience. Your offers can reach potential clients that have already shown an interest to you.
2. It is cost effective. Compared to other methods of direct marketing, email is considerably less expensive.
3. It is fast and effective. Conventional methods, like direct mail, take more time and money to execute than email and the response time is much slower for direct mail, which slows down the evaluation of results to determine success. With permission or opt-in email lists, promotions can be implemented quickly with an outcome traceable in real time, providing you with instant feedback as your marketing campaign or promotion is still in its early stages.
4. Responses are high. Generally, permission or opt in email campaigns bring higher, faster response rates as compared to traditional direct ad promotion and even other types of online advertising.
Unlike a website, where the visitor has to memorize the web address and remember to visit the site, an email publication such as an e-zine or a newsletter regularly appears at certain intervals with no effort from the client. After a while, it strengthens your image, educates your recipients regarding their demand for your service, then makes you their choice of provider when your recipients choose that its time to employ someone.
Downloadable pieces such as eBooks are instantly accessible to customers. For example, when you are offering potential clients an eBook with helpful, informative content, by just visiting your website- they click on your "landing page" and fill out their personal details and in just a few minutes, the eBook is downloaded.
5. Email can perform task automatically. Autoresponders are a practical and inexpensive tool that can be tuned to "auto pilot" to send specific information and reports to your recipients through email.
An auto responder will send emails in reply automatically to whomever sent you an email regarding information or products and services you offer.
Now your prospects can get information that they are requesting regarding your business, your services and products almost instantly and they can get it 24/7 without an individual follow up on each lead.
Disadvantages of Email Marketing:
1. These days, spam is everywhere and people are cautious, so email can be a rough environment to work with.
This means that potential clients are only scanning their inbox for particular messages from family, friends and colleagues and ban or delete all else. There are many anti spam programs and email servers filter spam messages to a special folder. Often times this means that emails can get filtered to the spam folder without permission from the recipient.
2. Email messages need to be short.
Prospects want quick and to the point information, therefore long or complicated messages or offers are out, but so are supporting arguments and facts.
3. Email restrains your creativity.
Text is boring and when considering email, text is the most important part. And you cannot let your creativity thrive as recipients wants quick, informative advertisements and reports.
Many small businesses assume that the internet isn't a valuable resource for them since they don't believe their goods or services are easily sold online. However, they just have not discovered the quick benefits, easier communication and customer service and the power of cost-effective information processing as well as e-mail and other electronic media.
Anybody can promote their website, advertise their product and get their ideas out simply by using email as the means of delivering and making their message known to the world.

In April my challenge, set by the lovely Gemma, was to paint a Mona Lisa self-portrait. Oh wow, this was hard. I struggled until I realised that the challenge wasn't to paint as well as Da Vinci (phew) but to inject a bit of our individual personality into a Mona Lisa style portrait. So I tried for a whimsical, doodley, cartoon like feel that matched my crazy imagination. The scan doesn't show the range of colours and layers that the original has and similarly, unfortunately, nor do the prints. But hopefully Gemma will enjoy the original and forgive my lack of portrait skills!

Kimono patterns can be divided into two, the woven patterns and the dyed patterns. In terms of formality, the dyed patterns are more formal than the woven ones. Let's start with the woven patterns.
Woven patterns are symmetric and often also geometric, such as the stripes, checks and the splash pattern known as kasuri.
Kasuri is a tie-dye technique that originated in India. It is an ikat technique in which the warp threads can been dyed or solid color and the weft threads are tie-dyed in specific pattern and dyed with indigo to create a pattern once the fabric has been woven. Basic kasuri patterns are cross and parallel cross designs. The more complex are the pictorial kasuri, where pines, bamboo, plum blossoms, cranes, tortoises and so on are woven into the design.
|Kasuri fabric by hillesondesigns.com
Reeled silk known as meisen. Meisen has that "wind swept" look in the pattern. Meisen was first produced in the later part of the meiji period (1868-1910) through to around 1955. It's hight was in the Taisho period (1910-1926) throught to the early 1940's. They were inexpensive and first "off-the-rack" ready to wear kimono and haori. Meisen is a technique for producing kasuri (ikat) fabric cheaper, faster and in larger quantities than the traditional method allowed.
For more information and beautiful pictures, please see the Meisen Kimonos Exhibition.
|Meisen silk by marcusonandhall.com
Heavy crepe silk known as omeshi. Kimono.fraise.net calls this weave the "fuzzy weave" and I have to agree on it, it does look fuzzy. Omeshi, also, is created with kasuri technique. Omeshi is a heavy crepe silk fabric with strongly twisted threads and firmer in it's texture than chirimen. Traditionally omeshi ranks highest of the woven fabrics in formality.
|Omeshi silk by kimono.fraise.net
Spun silk known as tsumugi. Tsumugi originates from the farmers who wished to make use of the cocoons left over after they had shipped the best ones into the markets. They collected the floss from the left over cocoons and spin (tsumugu) it into kimonos for themselves and their families. Tsumugi as a fabric is one of the oldest, still used weaving techniques. It has a soft, but uneven texture and superficially resembles cotton.
|Tsumugi silk bolt by petitjapon.com
Silk gauze known as sha. The loose weave of this fabric makes it a see-through material.
|Sha kimono by KyotoAntique.
Leno weave gauze known as ro. Just as sha, ro is very light fabric an distinguishable by the horizontal "stripes" that the weave creates on the surface of the fabric.
|Ro kimono bolt by KyotoAntique.
Stripe pattern is called shima.
|Shima yukata by shop-kimono.com
The check or lattice pattern called koushi.
|Koshi kimono by narablog.com
Linen is known as the joufu in terms of patterns, which corrects my statement that I was not sure if I have ever seen a linen kimono. Now I have.
|Linen joufu patterned kimono by narablog.com
Crepe silks known as the chirimen and kinsha. They have textured surface, similar to crepe, which is achieved by twisting the threads during weaving. Chirimen is heavier and stronger than kinsha. It's also a plain weave silks and drapes exceptionally well. Kinsha is a fine weaved, light crepe like silk.
|Chirimen silk by nifwlseirff in Flickr.
|Kinsha silk by nifwlseirff.hubpages.com
Rinzu silk is brocade like fabric with intricate pattern. Creating this pattern requires great skill and expertise and these silks are, as you might have guessed, one of the most expensive silks in Japan. The use of different types of warp and weft threads creates a contrast in the foreground and background adding luster and texture to the fabric. Rinzu fabrics can also have a dyed pattern on top of the woven pattern. These fabrics are soft to the touch and can vary in weight from the very light into the heavy wedding kimono.
|Rinzu silk by Rakuten.
Urushi silks are created by weaving lacquered threads into the pattern creating an embroidery like pattern.

I feel that this is a lot of swelling to be nothing because it is actually quiet severe and I have the discomfort of my stomach stretching out in a small time frame of a few minutes. The doctor tells me it is just gas, but I have a hard time believing that because I have had gas before and this only started a few years ago. Sometimes it will last 3 or 4 days and other times only a few hours. I have some pain along with this but it is not really severe pain. When my stomach swells I cannot wear my clothes that I normally do, or even look down and see my feet. It is most certainly enough to worry me and I would like to find some answers.Reply Follow This Thread Stop Following This Thread Flag this Discussion

Critic Reviews for Ivan's Childhood (Ivanovo detstvo)
All Critics (21) | Top Critics (4) | Fresh (21) | Rotten (0) | DVD (6)
No other director is simultaneously so precise and so otherworldly.
Director Andrei Tarkovsky has mixed daring with poetry in making this film: he shows the Soviet hero as an individual troubled with the doubts and complexities of other humans.
While the emotional weight of Ivan is clear from the first frames -- Tarkovsky doesn't stray from making us feel the pain of Ivan's world -- there is that sense of music the director is so intent on conveying.
Beauty, poetry and sadness are certainly lodged in its brief dramatic span, to be seized and embraced by anybody who will give a compassionate mind to it.
The surrealism of Solaris, the spatial experimentation of Stalker, the psychological insight of Mirror, these are all visible if not fully developed in Ivan's Childhood.
No one paints a stark landscape like Tarkovsky, but we're not just talking surface beauty; the director shows a rare understanding of the consequences of combat.
Audience Reviews for Ivan's Childhood (Ivanovo detstvo)
Tarkovsky's first major film is this wonderful drama about the loss of innocence and the horrors of war as seen through the eyes of a Russian orphan boy, and each shot is beautifully crafted, leading to a most poignant, devastating ending.
Super Reviewer
Ivan's Childhood is a fine, well crafted picture that showcases the subtlety of Andrei Tarkovsky's work. The film is brilliantly crafted with a simple, yet terrific story and it shows that you can pull off something truly wonderful with using the simplest ideas and putting them to a phenomenal style of filmmaking that elevates the film to art. Beautifully done, Tarkovsky crafts another stunning drama that resonates due to its strong characters, powerful story and breathtaking direction. I've said many times before that Tarkovsky was a master of his art, and here, he crafts something that delivers an impressive hour and a half of brilliant entertaining. Here the cast deliver some thoroughly powerful performances. This is another standout picture from a director who clearly is able to push the cinematic medium into new territory that has elevated films significantly. What I loved about the film the most was the idea behind the story, and the way it unfolds. Tarkovsky yet again delivers a stunning work and it's a well crafted work that is exciting, engaging and delivers a dramatic story well worth your time. The film is shot in beautiful black and white and it adds so much to the tone, atmosphere and feel of the movie. This is a stunning piece of cinema that ranks among the finest foreign films ever made, and it is captivating from the first frame onwards. I heavily recommend this film to anyone looking for a truly outstanding piece of cinema, and it's a movie that resonates with its message, and to me it was the loss of innocence due to a tragic occurrence of the main character, and Andrei Tarkovsky captures everything through his lens and in turn creates a stunning and haunting, yet beautiful portrait.
Super Reviewer
without question one of the most beautifully shot films in history. realizing that this is tarkovsky's debut only adds to its lure, first time directors just arent supposed to make masterpieces like this. every shot seems so carefully planned, from the trees gleaming off the lake, to the scene in the birch forest, to the various landscapes and even the indoor shots, everything is perfect.

Seeing freezing rain on the first day or two of the new year is still a bit up in the air, but one thing is for sure... we will be wet, regardless
Although models are wavering a bit on whether or not freezing rain will happen in NWA, they are certainly in agreement that everyone will see rain at some point tomorrow or Friday.
As always, surface temperatures will be pivotal in determining whether or not our rain freezes, so we'll be watching it for you closely.
We will have team coverage tomorrow and into Friday morning - keeping you up to date with the changing weather and the impact it might have on your travel plans for the weekend.

Grassland is the major resource to sustain the living of about one billion people worldwide. In industrialized Europe, grassland covers some 30 % of the agricultural area and forms the basis of a strong ruminant livestock sector. Grassland also provides a broad range of services that are beneficial for man. In addition to the production of herbage for livestock, grassland plays a major role in, for example, the maintenance of biodiversity, carbon sequestration into soils, clean surface and ground water, and the provision of an attractive environment for recreation and leisure activities. The way grassland provides these services is increasingly being affected by large scale processes that are commonly summarized as "global change". Grassland farming, the intensity of management and utilization, and the production of goods and environmental services at a given site are strongly affected by global markets for tradable goods, by international societal developments, by worldwide and realtime information exchange, and, most importantly, by climate change. These factors are seriously challenging the functioning of grassland and there is a great uncertainty as to how grassland will maintain its importance. Grassland researchers have realized this challenge and they have responded with in depth research in the various aspects of grassland farming and global change.
This was the background for the organizers of the EGF 2010 General Meeting to select 'Grassland in a Changing World' as the general topic of the conference. It is the first time that this topic has been addressed as the major theme for an EGF conference. Within this theme, five sections have been identified, ranging from 'grassland, climate and socio-economic change', over 'the future of grassland production systems', 'from grass to milk and meat', 'grassland ecosystem services', to 'pastoral systems'. Peer reviewed papers have been included in the present conference proceedings that are published in the EGF book series 'Grassland Science in Europe' as volume 15. Each section is introduced by a pair of review-papers from experienced scientists, followed by a set of voluntary submissions that had been presented at the conference as either oral or paper contributions. 23rd EGF General Meeting on "Grassland in a Changing World" is an excellent source for up-to-date research in the field of grassland science and global change.

A team of mathematicians at Black Hills State University {...} decided to investigate what the effects of including historical modules in college algebra might be in regards to students' understanding and mathematical communication.
The result - 'Over the last three years at BHSU, great strides have been made in improving student outcomes in College Algebra with the inclusion of history in the course.':
1. increase in following enrolling (triagonometry) - 5 students in 2003 and 2004 to 20 students in 2007
2. significant improvement on test problems where mathematical vocabulary and notation have created difficulty for students in the past.
3. 10% increase in the College Algebra passing rate since 2005 has come since the addition of the historical modules
The faculty feels that including historical development of mathematics is of key importance and believe that the full benefits of history inclusion have yet to be reached.

Modeling with Itô Stochastic Differential Equations
Part of the Mathematical Modelling: Theory and Applications book series (MMTA, volume 22)
Part of the Mathematical Modelling: Theory and Applications book series (MMTA, volume 22)
Dynamical systems with random influences occur throughout the physical, biological, and social sciences. By carefully studying a randomly varying system over a small time interval, a discrete stochastic process model can be constructed. Next, letting the time interval shrink to zero, an Ito stochastic differential equation model for the dynamical system is obtained.
This modeling procedure is thoroughly explained and illustrated for randomly varying systems in population biology, chemistry, physics, engineering, and finance. Introductory chapters present the fundamental concepts of random variables, stochastic processes, stochastic integration, and stochastic differential equations. These concepts are explained in a Hilbert space setting which unifies and simplifies the presentation. Computer programs, given throughout the text, are useful in solving representative stochastic problems. Analytical and computational exercises are provided in each chapter that complement the material in the text.
Modeling with Itô Stochastic Differential Equations is useful for researchers and graduate students. As a textbook for a graduate course, prerequisites include probability theory, differential equations, intermediate analysis, and some knowledge of scientific programming.

Unit Sony will finish the production before March 31, 2019.
We already wrote that Sony ceases production consoles PS Vita in Spain. Now there appeared the information that the company intends to cease production of games on physical media.
This writes with reference to .
According to Kotaku, the American and European divisions of Sony will finish the production of media with games to 31 March 2019, that is, to the finale of the current financial year. The company reported this to the developers in a letter, setting as deadline for projects February 15, 2019.
The company will continue to sell digital Vita games in the PlayStation Network, but this clearly will not last long. After all, Sony already from March next year will cease to include games on the PS3 and Vita in the list of free subscription to PlayStation Plus.
One of the main factors for the low popularity have become expensive PS Vita memory card with games for the device. Because of this handheld console gained popularity in Western countries. In addition, American and European division of Sony is also not too popularized the PS Vita even immediately after its launch in 2012. So the console remains essentially Japanese exclusive and are unable to compete with the 3DS from Nintendo.Finally, the popularity of mobile games has set bold cross on the revival of interest in a specialized gaming device.
As a consequence, in spite of good exclusive indie projects for PS Vita, almost bought on memory cards, because the company decided to abandon physical media.

To Our Valued Geomangear Customers,
Geomangear temporarily has stopped selling Magicshine lightsets due to our concerns regarding the safety, quality, and performance of Magicshine's lithium-ion battery packs sold by Geomangear between July 2009 and November 2010. We have determined that these Magicshine battery packs do not meet Geomangear's high expectations regarding product safety, quality, and performance. We have notified both the manufacturer of Magicshine lightsets and the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission that Geomangear intends to voluntarily recall all Magicshine battery packs sold by Geomangear.
We are actively working with the Safety Commission, outside engineering consultants, and a new battery pack supplier to evaluate product recall options for our customers. Geomangear will provide recall information and instructions directly to our affected customers after our final corrective action plan has been approved by the Safety Commission.

I love World Cup years! I love the fact that there is football, tennis, F1, all packed into one very small time frame. Sorry for those of you who don't like football but the World Cup is the biggest sporting event in the world AND I LOVE IT. I have been glued to pretty much all the group phase games...particularly for my beloved countries GHANA and ENGLAND! My nation of birth and my heritage; I just have to rep both to the fullest!
6 opinionated people have something to say:
- Sankofa said...
I call this summer a "perfect storm of sport". Screw those who don't like Wimbledon and the World Cup. NOTHING gets better than this in sport. Go Blackstars! Go England! Go Federer! (even though he's had me worried in his matches so far) Go Serena!
Isner and Mahut deserve a special award for being the marathon men of tennis. How can people tennis is boring?!

- Last Born Child said...
I felt the same way you did watching the matches yesterday. Football has never stressed me aout before but yesterday, I was beside myself. Thankfully it all came good in the end for both teams.
I thought I'd watch the tennis afterwards to destress and then that turned into all kinds of world-breaking.

- Afrocentric said...
Football was amazing yesterday!! Trust me, since the world cup began, I haven't been doing much work.
Like you, Nsro, I had given up on England. I thought it was an absolute joke that they still expected to win, but then Defoe defied defeat! yay!!
Ghana too also did us proud. They may not have scored a goal but they sure did put up a fight. May God bless them and grant them the strength to beat USA!

- Nsoromma...Child of the Heavens said...
I'm still in disbelief about yesterday. I have that wierd anti-climax you get when for you there has been a sysmic shift in the universe but for most other people nothing much has happened.
And that tennis match, jheeeze! I cannot quite believe that it's really happening...this is tennis and someone has to win. But this is a DRAW to me!
- 24 June 2010 at 14:36
I thought for sure I was going to get a heart attack yesterday. I was just too scared to watch the match...so I didn't but that didn't help. I actually fell ill yesterday, lol. Glad Ghana was able to advance. Thank God, I hope he sees us through the other matches, Amen.
- 24 June 2010 at 15:05
- Nsoromma...Child of the Heavens said...
I can relate to feeling ill Nana Yaa, it was almost to much! Soooo proud of our boys!

This War of Mine Discussion
Trainer Tools and Resources
New trainer just posted, but also a patch just hit steam that may have messed with things. I wasn't able to test the latest trainer with the June 1st version of the game, but as of now.
Num 1 Works
Num 2 - 3 Works
Num 4 works
Num 5 - Does not work, my backpack size didn't change
Num 6 I didn't test
Num 7 works, but the game has a different item ID table now so old codes don't always work
Num 8 I didn't test
game has patched over and over and over the last 48 hours. please use the trainer as-is.. likely all that is not working right now is the backpack option. however, we are going to let this game settle down a bit from all the problems it has from this DLC.. we will re-evaluate the trainer in a few days unless 90% of the options stop working.
I cannot get the mega backpack (Num 5) to work with the v2.2 (06.02.2016). When night comes, and I have chosen who is to go on the scavenge run, I hit the Num 5 key, and get the 'activated' message. But when I click on 'prepare' to choose items for the run, I have the normal limited slots available for the character. When on the scavenge run, the slots do not 'open up' to 100 when I choose items to loot. I recall it working (100 slots) in the original game with the v2.1 trainer.
Am I doing something wrong? Thanks.
the game must have patched.. already.. will check it out
Yeah, only the 'Num 5' backpack wasn't working. Even the codes are working using the list on page 20 with 'Num 7' Custom Craft.
No biggie, I thought it may have been the way I was implementing the trainer. Thanks for the update to 2.2, will wait for the game to stabilize for the next trainer update.
[Edited by alexstyleto, 6/5/2016 8:53:57 AM]
Thanks again, I really appreciate it.
Might happen with other items, as of right now I can't tell. Will Edit and update.
EDIT: Any items that are consumed on the spot and not picked up into Inventory can be depleted by leaving to the main menu and continuing the story again. All is good!

Review: Symphony triumphs during night of Wagner, verdi
Opera at the symphony has become more and more infrequent with the passing years, which made Friday night's tribute to Richard Wagner and Giuseppe Verdi particularly welcome.
Christopher Hahn, Pittsburgh Opera's general director, was the host for the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra's concert at Heinz Hall conducted by music director Manfred Honeck and provided commentary that was witty and informative.
The first half of the concert was devoted to Wagner, starting with the stirring Prelude to Act III of "Lohengrin." Music director Manfred Honeck led an exhilarating performance.
Later in the first half, the orchestra was outstanding in Siegfried's Funeral March from "Die Gotterdammerung." Honeck paced the opening of this famous orchestral excerpt quite slowly, with timpanist Edward Stephan laying the music out with perfect clarity and point. Honeck called on him to take a well-deserved slow bow at the end of the piece. The brasses were tremendous again, with layers of horn sound, beautifully integrated low brass sonorities.
Soprano Simona Saturova sang Elsa's Dream from "Lohengrin" with artistry in nuance of line and the course of emotions.
The Mendelssohn Choir sang Elsa's Procession with deeply voiced dignity, while by contrast the Chorus of Norwegian Sailors from "Der fliegende Hollander" was very extroverted.
Baritone Gregg Baker, a big man with a big voice, gave a commanding performance of the Song to the Evening Star from "Tannhauser" with gorgeous legato yet also ample emphasis.
The Wagnerian repertoire concluded with the Entrance of the Guests, also from "Tannhauser," in which the sweeping sounds of chorus and orchestra on stage were complemented by fabulous trumpet fanfares played from the box closest to the stage on the right side.
Four selections from "La Traviata" launched the Verdi repertoire. Honeck led a rather slow version of the Prelude to Act I. The tempo also felt slow for the introduction to "Sempre Libre," but the tempo for the aria felt right for Saturova's articulation.
By contrast the Chorus of the Ghypsies and Matadors was at a wonderfully quick tempo which serves the differing characters of the musical ideas.
Baker concluded the "Traviata" numbers with a grand performance of "Di Provenza il mar."
After two more arias, big choruses from "Aida" and "Il Trovatore," the latter a sing-along in English, concluded the concert.
This concert will be repeated at 8 p.m. Saturday and 2:30 p.m. Sunday at Heinz Hall, Downtown. Admission is $20 to $93. Details: 412-392-4900 or www.pittsburghsymphony.org.
Mark Kanny is classical music critic for Trib Total Media. He can be reached at 412-320-7877 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Baiting Hollow Farm Vineyard
- Private Events
- Live Entertainment
As a young boy in Brooklyn in the 1930's, Sam Rubin already knew that he needed to work the land. But all around him was concrete, and the post-Depression years swallowed dreams and childish thoughts.
After WWII, Sam, an army veteran, soon met and wed Rhoda. Together they set about raising a family. After many hard years working as a driver for the New York City newspapers, he finally followed his dream and purchased his first farm in Cochecton, New York.
Throughout the years Sam still worked in the city during the week and farmed on the weekends while maintaining various properties at different times in New York State and in Vermont. An avid naturalist for many decades, he pursued schooling on all aspects of agriculture while growing produce organically. In those days, when life was simple and clothes were hand me downs, he never sold his crops to anyone. Rather, he would have a food route giving out his produce to those he loved and cared about.
They moved to Suffolk County in 1961 and ultimately had five children: one son and four daughters. While Rhoda was building her reputation as a pioneer and successful entrepreneur in Weight Watchers, Sam continued to farm on various acquired properties. Eventually, he found a beautiful parcel of land on the North Fork of Long Island. It couldn't have come at a more perfect time; the traveling had made him weary and he wanted to spend more time with his family. He bought it and named it, "Baiting Hollow Farm".
A few years later, he tried his hand at planting a small section of grapevines since it interested him and was a crop that was rapidly expanding in an area that was proving itself to be climatically similar to key growing regions in France. He loved to work the vineyard and help the grapes grow. He decided that he wanted to try his hand at expanding his output. So with Rhoda's blessings, and the help of his son Richard, the former executive VP of Weight Watchers of Suffolk and a successful business entrepreneur, Sam acquired additional acreage adjacent to his property. After several years of continuing to nurture the soil and vines, Richard's sound business plan created a team to oversee and supervise wine making production and vineyard management. Baiting Hollow Farm became Baiting Hollow Farm Vineyard®, and has established itself as a grower of distinction producing many varietals of high quality wine.
Since Sam's passing in May, 2014, The Rubin Family continues to run BHFV in typical fashion and wonderful spirit as a tribute to their Father, Grandfather, Great-Grandfather and Founder.
Some things never change.

Every year, between one and two million Americans work as interns. They famously shuttle coffee in a thousand newsrooms, congressional offices, and Hollywood studios, but they also deliver aid in Afghanistan, build the human genome, and pick up garbage. They are increasingly of all ages, and their numbers are growing fast—from 17 percent of college graduates in 1992 to 50 percent in 2008. A huge and increasing number of internships are illegal under the Fair Labor Standards Act, and this mass exploitation saves firms more than $600 million each year. Interns enjoy no workplace protections and no standing in courts of law—let alone benefits like health care.
Ross Perlin has written the first exposé of this world of drudgery and aspiration. In this witty, astonishing, and serious investigative work, Perlin takes the reader inside both boutique nonprofits and megacorporations such as Disney (which employs 8,000 interns at Disney World alone). He profiles fellow interns, talks to academics and professionals about what unleashed this phenomenon, and explains why the intern boom is perverting workplace practices in locations all around the world.

Contested Legacies
"Contested Legacies" began as a project to reflect on both the work of thinkers and artists forced to flee Hitler's Germany and on fifty years of scholarship in "exile studies." The title refers to the claims and counterclaims of the emigrants about the intellectual legacies they brought with them into exile. Additionally, "Contested Legacies" was about the debates generated by the emigrés' rich and diverse achievements, continuously contested within the emigré cohort itself and then among succeeding generations of their followers and detractors.
The project consisted of a conference assembling an international, interdisciplinary, and intergenerational group of participants consisting of almost forty scholars. The three-day conference took place in the context of the 2002 Bard Music Festival's exploration of Gustav Mahler and His World—another contested legacy. The "Contested Legacies" Conference was prepared at "No Happy End," a workshop in February 2001, which defined the terms of the common project.
The record of the 2001 workshop is available here in a pdf, file of the 64-page brochure containing a preliminary summary of the project and a prospectus of the conference, as well as seventeen brief articles by Peter Baehr (Lingnan University), Jonathan Bordo (Trent University), Peter Breiner (SUNY Albany), Christian Fleck (University of Graz), Larry Friedman (Indiana University), Lydia Goehr
(Columbia University), Daniel Herwitz (Durban University), Claudia Honegger (Bern University), Laurent Jeanpierre (École des hautes études en sciences sociales) , David Kettler (Bard College), Claus-Dieter Krohn (Lünenburg University), John McCormick (Yale University), Ernst Osterkamp (Humboldt University), Hanna Papanek (Independent Scholar), Suzanne Vromen (Bard College), Anna Wessely (Eötvös Loránd University), and Jerry Zaslove (Simon Fraser
University). The brochure has also appeared in a small edition for libraries published by Galda and Winch.
One selection of articles from the 2002 Conference appeared in a dedicated issue of the European Journal of Political Theory in 2004, and another was published by Palgrave Press in 2005. See Publications for details.
In 2005, the "Contested Legacies" project was extended to comprehend comparative studies of twentieth-century intellectual exiles. The first publication of that broadened direction was a dedicated issue of the Journal of the Interdisciplinary Crossroads. See Project Sequel for downloadable complete text.

Home Improvement Company - Roof MaintenancePosted by ariya at 22:10
One of the areas of homes that tends to get damaged the most but repaired the least is, unsurprisingly, one of the areas that is seen the least - the roof. However, even though it often gets taken for granted, the roof is a crucial part of every home. It provides protection against rain, wind, and sun, and can take a significant beating if it is ignored for an extended period of time. Checking the roof a couple times a year is generally enough to assess the damage, but this article can provide you with a few tips for making roof maintenance less of a hassle, as well as how a home improvement company can help make maintaining the roof a lot easier.
One of the first things you will want to do, typically even before the home improvement company visits, is clear the roof of debris. This generally consists of leaves, pine needles, fallen branches, and other organic debris, but things like this tend to do a great job of soaking up water and helping it dig into your roof. After clearing the roof a repair company can help you check the roof for any signs of damaged or missing flashings, which are long, thin metal strips that protect seams in wood and metal from water and guide it into gutters.
Another important part of roof maintenance is, if you have a shingled roof, checking for cracked or broken shingles. A single damaged shingle can allow water to soak in underneath and damage the layer below, or even spur the growth of algae and mold. However, you should always be careful when walking on a shingle roof, as a single wrong step could break even more shingles. A home improvement company likely has a few roofing specialists on hand that are trained to deal with shingled roofs, and can help you assess and repair damage of this sort.
One of the most dangerous types of roof damage is on painted surfaces and asphalt shingles, when water soaks in through some damage on the roof and causes blistering. Blisters are indicative of water having gotten between the layer of paint or shingling and the one beneath it, holding it there but allowing it to damage both. If you find any blistered areas on your roof, absolutely do not puncture them. Calling a home improvement company will get a professional to deal with these problems in the right way.

Phase II Study of Bevacizumab and Doxil in the Treatment of Platinum-Resistant or Refractory Ovarian Cancer
Avastin is a humanized monoclonal antibody (a type of protein that is normally made by the
immune system to help defend the body from infection and cancer). Avastin has been approved
for the treatment of colorectal cancer and lung cancer. Avastin is investigational for the
treatment of ovarian cancer and has not been approved by the United States Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) for this use.
Avastin is thought to work by attaching to a protein called vascular endothelial growth
factor (VEGF) to block its action. VEGF plays a role in the formation of both normal and
abnormal blood vessels. It is present in normal tissues, but is produced in excess by most
solid cancers (tumors). In cancer, VEGF helps blood vessels bring nutrients to tumor cells,
allowing the tumor cells to grow. In laboratory studies with human cancer cells grown in
animals, Avastin has been shown to prevent or slow the growth of different types of cancer
cells by blocking the effects of VEGF.
Doxorubicin is a type of antibiotic that is only used in cancer chemotherapy. It slows or
stops the growth of cancer. Doxorubicin has been approved by the FDA to treat cancers of
the head, neck, cervix, vagina, testes, prostate, uterus and Ewing's tumor.

Helen Krohn, daughter of Shirley and Iva Hickman, died Saturday, June 10, 2006, in Carrollton, Texas, at the age of 90, due to Alzheimer's disease.
Helen Rhodes-Krohn was born February 24, 1916, in central Illinois. She graduated from Cissna Park High School in 1932, then attended Huntington College in Indiana. Her advanced training was at Illinois Normal College and the University of Illinois. She taught elementary school in Elkhart and Mishawaka. Helen met and married Charles Sprague. They lived for a time in Banning, California, and later returned to Mishawaka where their son Charles was born. Following Mr. Sprague's death, Helen married Ed Rhodes. They adopted seven children. In 1969 Helen and Ed moved to Fort Smith, Arkansas. Ed died in 1980. Several years later, Helen married Otto Krohn, who later succumbed to cancer. Helen moved to Carrollton, Texas, in 2002 to be near her daughter, Stephanie Buck.
Helen was preceded in death by her parents, Shirley and Iva Hickman; her sister, Imogene Beeks; three husbands, Charles Sprague, Edwin Rhodes and Otto Krohn; and two children, Mary Lisa and Thomas Rhodes.
