Korean Adventure (May 2, 2003 Chautauqua)
So far, in my quest for something to do with my free time, I have considered hacking up defenseless bamboo with a sword, and playing with dolls. I now turn to a more passive form of recreation, that unique Korean creation, the DVD room.
I think I have informed you before of the PC room, where young Korean males go to play violent computer games, and smoke their brains out. Adjacent to many of them are DVD rooms, where they take their girlfriends to enjoy... a movie.
They are found on the upper floors of any average office building. Instead of a single space, the area is divided up into a number of (nearly) soundproof cubicles. The fee for the movie rental is about $5.00. There are snacks available, including popcorn.
Customers can view their selection on a flat screen that takes up one entire wall, while relaxing in huge comfy chairs or sofas. There is a central area with all the choices, and a desk where the attendant keeps an eye on all the players for the various rooms.
One of the attractions of the
DVD is it makes it possible to view Korean films.
They only have English subtitles, but some Korean films are well worth it. They
alternate between "art house films" and other, more mainstream,
The former are described as "fairly realistic films about ordinary people's lives." The latter genre includes comedies, romances, and (above all in recent times) gangster films.
Korean gangster films differ from what westerners are used to in such features as "The Godfather" or "Goodfellas." Korean gangsters are seen as "less educated," and so "it's easy to make fun of them," says fan Anna Park, a
student. The typical offering is more of a "madcap screwball comedy,"
than a gritty depiction of the violent predator of the western versions. Seoul University
One aspect of the
DVD room should be kept in mind, though. They are
generally associated with, in popular imagination, activities that go beyond
simply watching movies. According to the Pusan Pop Culture Guide
(www.pusanweb.com), "video rooms are notorious in as a
place where young couples go to have sex." Korea
I am always careful about where my eyes are when I go from the lobby to my room. The possibility of being confronted with an embarrassing situation is only a small drawback once the movie has started. Big comfy chair, Dolby surround sound, and a huge screen to see it all. What more could any male couch potato want?
Stay tuned...

1. Abstract
This memo defines a new access-type for message/external-body MIME
parts for Uniform Resource Locators (URLs). URLs provide schemes to
access external objects via a growing number of protocols, including
HTTP, Gopher, and TELNET. An initial set of URL schemes are defined
in RFC 1738.
2. Introduction
The Multipurpose Internet Message Extensions (MIME) define a facility
whereby an object can contain a reference or pointer to some form of
data rather than the actual data itself. This facility is embodied in
the message/external-body media type defined in RFC 1521. Use of
this facility is growing as a means of conserving bandwidth when
large objects are sent to large mailing lists.
Each message/external-body reference must specify a mechanism whereby
the actual data can be retrieved. These mechanisms are called access
types, and RFC 1521 defines an initial set of access types: "FTP",
"ANON-FTP", "TFTP", "LOCAL-FILE", and "MAIL-SERVER".
Uniform Resource Locators, or URLs, also provide a means by which
remote data can be retrieved automatically. Each URL string begins
with a scheme specification, which in turn specifies how the
remaining string is to be used in conjunction with some protocol to
retrieve the data. However, URL schemes exist for protocol operations
that have no corresponding MIME message/external-body access type.
Registering an access type for URLs therefore provides
message/external-body with access to the retrieval mechanisms of URLs
that are not currently available as access types. It also provides
access to any future mechanisms for which URL schemes are developed.
This access type is only intended for use with URLs that actually
retreive something. Other URL mechans...

By Dr. Mercola
Sensible sun exposure is an important component for optimal health, for a number of reasons. Vitamin D production is one, of course, but of equal importance is the production of cholesterol sulfate.
Dr. Stephanie Seneff, a senior research scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), is an expert on sulfate, and in my recent interview with her we discuss the various ways sunlight contributes to health.
The cholesterol produced in your skin in response to sun exposure is actually a substrate-forming vitamin D. Unfortunately, virtually no one, aside from Dr. Seneff, is talking about cholesterol sulfate.
"I identified it as an important molecule many years ago," she says. "Ever since then I've been combing the literature to learn everything I can about cholesterol sulfate...
Most people are just not paying attention to this molecule. Mostly what you'll see is, 'Oh, yeah, there's always cholesterol sulfate in the blood, and we don't know what it's for.'"
Cholesterol Sulfate May Be Essential for Health of All Cells
What is widely known is that red blood cells produce cholesterol sulfate and that this molecule protects the red blood cells from falling apart. If a red blood cell can't produce enough cholesterol sulfate, it will spill its contents out into the blood (a condition called hemolysis).
In short, the red blood cells need the cholesterol sulfate to stay healthy and to function properly.
"It's a very elegant concept that they need sunlight to make sulfate," Dr. Seneff notes. "I came upon this as an idea when thinking about the skin. The skin makes a huge amount of cholesterol sulfate. It's the main producer.
Your skin is exposed to sunlight and produces [both cholesterol sulfate and] vitamin D sulfate at the same time. The vitamin D that's produced in the skin is transported in the sulfated form....
When you sulfate the cholesterol, you turn it into a water-soluble and a fat-soluble molecule. It can get just about anywhere on its own. It doesn't have to be packaged up inside a low-density lipoprotein (LDL) particle, for example.
The LDL particles have a high association with heart disease, and they're giving everybody a statin drug to try to knock it down, which is a very bad idea.
The cholesterol sulfate serves the really important role of distributing both cholesterol and sulfate to all tissues. I think that's one of the really important things that it does. It's incredibly important because the cholesterol and the sulfate are absolutely essential to the well-being of all the cells."
Sulfate Appears to Play an Important Regulatory Role in Your Blood
The molecule in your red blood cells which Dr. Seneff believes is responsible for making cholesterol sulfate is called endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), which has been very well studied.
There are thousands of papers on eNOS, and the general understanding is that it makes nitric oxide (NO). It also makes superoxide, which is considered to be pathogenic.
However, according to Dr. Seneff, this may be an erroneous conclusion, because superoxide is actually needed to oxidize sulfur to make sulfate. Again, while these molecules are complex, and we still do not completely understand how they work, it's clear that sulfate plays a very important role in your blood.
"For example, in the endothelial wall lining the blood vessels, sulfated sugar molecules control what gets in and what doesn't... A lot of important signaling molecules are attached to these sulfated sugar molecules before they go in, and then there's all this regulation that takes place.
When the artery wall is depleted in sulfate, it doesn't work properly. That's when you get cascades that end up producing things like cardiovascular plaque, because there's not enough sulfate in the artery wall. That's what causes the plaque to build," she explains.
Glyphosate Disrupts Vitamin D Activation and Sulfate Production
One therapeutic recommendation to reduce your cardiovascular health risks is to increase your sulfate, which is related to boosting your sulfur level. Sun exposure is one way. In terms of food sources, garlic is an excellent source of sulfur, perhaps one of the best.
Unfortunately, you may still have problems if you're eating processed foods because processed foods are loaded with glyphosate—the herbicide chemical used on most conventional and genetically engineered food crops.
According to Dr. Seneff, glyphosate is a major problem in our food supply because it interferes with a number of biological mechanisms, including enzymes responsible for activating vitamin D in your liver and kidneys. She explains:
"Glyphosate disrupts cytochrome p450 enzymes. There are lots of them in the liver [where they] activate vitamin D. We have a vitamin D deficiency epidemic right now. I think a lot of it might be due to the fact that it's not getting activated in the liver because of the disruption from the glyphosate."
The eNOS, which is responsible for making cholesterol sulfate,1 is also a cytochrome p450enzyme. Therefore, it too is disrupted by glyphosate. One of the first things that happen when you ingest excessive amounts of glyphosate is something called disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), which means that the red blood cells coagulate your blood.
The red blood cells fall apart from the exposure to glyphosate as a result of losing their cholesterol sulfate. All around the world, people are using glyphosate to commit suicide, as it's a very potent toxin.
"Small amounts don't cause anything that dramatic, but they interfere with the red blood cells' ability to supply cholesterol sulfate to your tissues, and your heart. I think heart failure is a direct consequence of insufficient cholesterol and insufficient sulfate delivery to the heart," Dr. Seneff says.
The eNOS Molecule Helps Regulate and Balance Your Blood
To clarify further, eNOS is a dual-purpose enzyme. When it's attached to the cell membrane, it makes sulfate. When it's detached from the membrane and in the cytoplasm, it makes nitric oxide, which eventually becomes nitrate. So it oxidizes both sulfur and nitrogen, and there's an intricate control mechanism that allows every single eNOS molecule to switch back and forth between those two options.
"It's important that it's one molecule controlling both the sulfate and the nitrate [oxidation] because these two molecules have very opposite effects on the blood. Sulfate gels the blood and nitrate turns it into water. It's called kosmotropes and chaotropes in chemical terms. They have opposite effects. And your body is always negotiating, 'Which way? Maybe the blood is too thick—let's put out some nitric oxide. Or maybe it's too thin—let's put some sulfate in.' It's able to titrate between the two very nicely with that one molecule [eNOS]."
Most scientists are still unfamiliar with this, and cannot understand why eNOS is always found on the membrane of red blood cells. "Articles are written where they're puzzling over why is it that red blood cells have eNOS, because there's no reason they would want to make nitric oxide," Dr. Seneff notes. "It's like carbon monoxide—it would poison the hemoglobin. They think, 'Oh, well, maybe it's vestigial.'"
The reason they don't understand it is because they're discounting the cholesterol sulfate component. They're only considering the nitric oxide, ignoring the fact that eNOS can switch back and forth and make both, thereby maintaining balance in your blood and ensuring that it's not too thick or too thin...
Why Sun Exposure Is the Ideal Way to Optimize Your Vitamin D Level
Dr. Seneff is against using high-dose oral vitamin D supplements, because doing so might fool your body into thinking the sulfate system is working when in reality it's not. Essentially, the process begins in your skin: When sunshine or UVB light strikes your skin, vitamin D sulfate is produced. The vitamin D transports this sulfate to your liver, where the vitamin D gets oxidized by the CYP enzyme, thus becoming activated. Next, it's transported to your kidney where it gets activated with another cytochrome p450 enzyme. You now have double-activated vitamin D.
"The signal that the vitamin D provides is a message that all those things are working," Dr. Seneff explains. "But if you take huge amounts of vitamin D supplements, you're fooling the system because you've got so much more vitamin D that some of it gets activated... You've got enough to fool your body into thinking the cytochrome p450 enzymes are working properly. That's why I think the answer is not to take huge amounts of vitamin D supplements."
Based on this chain of events, I really believe that optimizing your vitamin D level through sun exposure is the ideal strategy. Interestingly, the cholesterol sulfate also makes gelled water around the cell. I've previously interviewed Dr. Gerald Pollack, a biophysicist with the University of Washington, who is an expert on water. He calls this gel-like water EZ water (H2O3), which stands for exclusion zone. It's basically structured water, which is the type of water your cells are made of.
Electrons end up inside the structured water, and they become mobile. When an oxygen gas molecule comes in, it will get hit by one of those electrons. When you add that to a sulfur molecule, you end up with sulfate. This is basically what eNOS does. It has a zinc atom inside, which has a positive charge. The zinc is an important catalyst in this process, so if you're zinc deficient, your sulfate pathway is also disrupted. Here, again, glyphosate exposure is a factor, as glyphosate causes zinc deficiency by chelating it out.
Glyphosate May Be Related to Increase in Skin Cancer
In addition to all its other functions, the sulfate synthesis actually protects your body from the adverse effects of sun exposure. Unfortunately, many sunscreens contain aluminum nanoparticles – zinc oxide and titanium dioxide—and when you add aluminum to your skin, it interferes with the functioning of eNOS.
"It gets into the eNOS and ruins it, because the aluminum will displace the iron in the heme group, which will make the eNOS not work," Dr. Seneff says. "Of course, that's going to cause trouble in the liver, too, because the heme is part of the cytochrome p450 enzymes, which have this heme group that contains iron inside this porphyrin ring. The aluminum messes that up."
According to Dr. Seneff, exposure to glyphosate increases your risk of skin cancer via this mechanism. In a nutshell, there's a strong positive correlation between sunscreen usage and the rise in skin cancer, and Dr. Seneff believes this may be because the aluminum in the sunscreen in combination with glyphosate exposure through the food supply effectively prevents your body from detoxing. Again, both aluminum and glyphosate disrupt eNOS, albeit in different ways. Adding insult to injury, the retinoic acid in sunscreen also suppresses cholesterol sulfate synthesis.
Tying It All Together
While these issues are clearly complex, the take-home message is that cholesterol and sulfur are closely interrelated, and both are dependent on the vitamin D synthesized in your skin as a result of sun exposure. Taking high-dose vitamin D supplements will not have the identical effect, as it does not allow your body to make sulfate. That is why it is nearly always best to get your vitamin D from sensible sun exposure on large areas of your skin. I personally have not swallowed any oral vitamin D for five years.
Cholesterol sulfate is produced in sun-exposed skin by a cytochrome p450 enzyme called eNOS. When you are deficient in cholesterol sulfate from lack of sun exposure, your body employs another mechanism to increase it, as it is essential for optimal heart- and brain function. It does this by taking damaged LDL and turning it into plaque. Cholesterol is being stashed inside the plaque, awaiting a supply of sulfate so that it can be shipped out as cholesterol sulfate. This plaque causes the unfortunate side effect of increasing your risk of cardiovascular disease... In addition to promoting cardiovascular health, cholesterol sulfate is also necessary for the health of your red blood cells.
In short, the ideal way to raise your vitamin D and sulfate level, while simultaneously lowering your LDL cholesterol is to get appropriate amounts of sunlight exposure on your skin. To summarize the function and importance of eNOS, which creates the cholesterol sulfate, it's important to remember that eNOS is a dual-purpose enzyme that makes both sulfate and nitric oxide (NO).
Since eNOS is a cytochrome p450enzyme, it is disrupted by glyphosate. Aluminum, such as the aluminum nanoparticles found in sunscreens, also disrupts the function of eNOS—thereby preventing sulfate production. According to Dr. Seneff, the evidence suggests that the combination of glyphosate exposure and use of aluminum-based sunscreens may be responsible for the rise in skin cancer, despite the fact that people are massively avoiding sunlight. From my perspective, all of this supports two very basic health recommendations:
- Get an appropriate amount of sun exposure, without the use of sunscreen, to optimize your vitamin D and sulfate levels
- Swap out processed foods for organic whole foods to avoid glyphosate exposure

WEEDS have taken over a town'slargeroundabout and the councillors are not happy.
Denbigh Town councillors will be urging the county council to get its gardening contractors in order after members complained the Myddleton Park Roundabout flower beds have been completely taken over by weeds.
During their meeting on Monday, councillors described the state of the roundabout as a disgrace, and whereas by now it should be a riot of colour,itis just an overgrown mess.
Coun Ray Bartley said: "That roundabout is the gateway to our town from the south and it's an absolute disgrace it's just completely covered by weeds."
Councillors also mentioned that they were not consulted about the sign bearing their council's name on it, which has been put on the roundabout.
Coun Colin L Hughes said: "That reflects directly on us, people will see our name on that roundabout and associate the state of it with us."
Peter Glynne, mayor of Denbigh, added: "We've been let down very badly, we put our trust in the hands of professionals who were supposed to maintain it and we've been let down."
At the meeting, councillors formally received a letter fro m Mike Hall, the county's senior grounds maintenance and cemeteries officer, saying that Denbighshire will be carrying out a number of projects in the town, including sprucing up the Lower Park area by removing old and dead shrubs at the back of the bowling green, putting in a new fence and replanting and mulching the flower beds there.
The brick wall at Denbigh Cemetery will also be repaired and the shrub beds at Townsend, Vale Street, Temple Bar, and the Colomendy roundabout will be replanted as well.
Councillors were also asked to recommend any other areas for additional flower beds or tubs and Coun Glynne pointed out: "Perhaps he could put some flowers on the roundabout."

The mesoscale configurations are analysed associated withthesplitting process of convective cells responsible for severe weather phenomena in the south-eastern part of Romania. The analysis was performed using products from the S-band Doppler weather radar located in Medgidia. The cases studied were chosen to cover various synoptic configurations when the cell splitting process occurs. To detect the presence and intensity of the tropospheric jet, the Doppler velocity field and vertical wind profiles derived from radar algorithms were used. The relative Doppler velocity field was used to study relative flow associated with convective cells. Trajectories and rotational characteristics associated with convective cells were obtained from reflectivity and relative Doppler velocity fields at various elevations. This analysis highlights the main dynamic features associated with the splitting process of convective cells: the tropospheric jet and vertical moisture flow associated with the configuration of the flow relative to the convective cells for the lower and upper tropospheric layers. These dynamic characteristics seen in the Doppler based velocity field and in the relative Doppler velocity field to the storm can indicate further evolution of convective developments, with direct implications to very short range forecast (nowcasting).
1. Introduction
In south-eastern Romania, in the convective season (from May to September), severe weather phenomena develop frequently and evolve [1–5], sometimes leading to significant damages. Analysis of severe convective events and their structure, at least for certain classes of phenomena (isolated convective cells), taking into account the mesoscale configuration can improve the nowcasting procedures. Using an S-band Doppler radar (10 cm wavelength), we see that the mesoscale phenomena (supercellular thunderstorms) have certain features during their dynamic evolution. Of great importance in understanding the evolution of supercells is the splitting process (separation of the convective cells in two other ones rotating opposite to one another, namely, cyclonic and anticyclonic), a process that takes place during the evolution of convective developments and is closely linked to the state of mesoscale dynamic configuration, especially vertical wind shear [6, 7]. This process has been studied both qualitatively [8–18] and by numeric analysis [19–21], highlighting the interaction between horizontal vorticity from the vertical profile of horizontal wind and the updraft.
Depending on the curvature of the hodograph, the development of convective cells is favoured when the propagation is either to the right, or to the left oftroposphericshear; both cells may be favoured as well, when the hodograph is linear. Along with this particular interaction, there may also exist secondary ones [22] that lead to the diminishing of the cell that propagates to the left of shear vector, in the Northern Hemisphere. Observations of the split process when the Doppler radar is used [23–32] highlight the cyclonic and anticyclonic rotation, within the field of Doppler velocity, associated with convective cells compatible with vertical shear.
The above studies also showed the asymmetry between the cells that propagate to the right and those that propagate to the left of the tropospheric shear vector in the Northern Hemisphere, the latter generally has a shorter lifespan than the former, but is associated with severe hail.
In some cases the inflow at low levels and the outflow at upper levels [33] to and from the storm were seen with the aid of the Doppler relative velocity field; these two flows are in direct correlation with the intensity of updraft.
In this paper, several cases are analysed which featured the splitting process of strongly convective cells (supercells). The basic criteria in choosing these cases are the different mesoscale configuration (various directions of the tropospheric flow). The study focused on the analysis from fields and products of the meteorological Doppler radar that can provide relevant data on the severity of convective phenomena.
This paper is structured as follows. The first part contains the radar data that were used during the analysis of splitting processes, and the methodology thereof. At the second part, several case studies are presented that emphasize certain characteristics of the mentioned process. The paper ends with conclusions derived from these case studies, namely, mesoscale dynamic features and some particularities of convective cells trajectories. Since most of the convective cells appearing in the radar fields featured supercell traits, the common elements that were identified could be used in nowcasting.
2. Data and Methods
For the dynamic mesoscale analysis and that of the splitting process, the WSR-98D Doppler radar in S band (10 cm) was used, located in Medgidia (south-eastern Romania) (Figure 1). The range of the radar is shown in Figure 1.
The splitting process was analyzed in the fields of radar reflectivity, Doppler base velocity, and that of Doppler relative velocity at different scan elevations, in order to see the formation of cyclonic and anticyclonic vortices. The Doppler relative velocity field is obtained from the Doppler base velocity field minus the average velocity of all detected storms and represents Doppler velocity field of the reference storm [34]. The Principal Users Processor (PUP) software (METSTAR WSR-98D PUP version 10.8.R) was used. The study of Doppler velocity field at various elevations, in parallel with the Vertical Azimuth Display (VAD) Wind Velocity product resulted in information about the vertical shear of horizontal velocities and tropospheric jets. The VAD Wind Velocity is a Doppler weather radar product which gives the vertical profile of horizontal wind vectors above radar station [34–36]. Strong shear in the wind field assumes the existence of tropospheric low-level jet (LLJ) or upper-level jet (ULJ). Also the Doppler relative velocity field gave information about the low and upper relative flow associated to the storms in radar field. The presence of relative low-level flow was analysed (arrow-shaped tube, in the lower part of Figures 2(a) and 2(b)) and the relative upper-level flow (arrow-shaped tube, at top of Figures 2(a) and 2(b)). For the first three analysed cases, vertical vorticity profiles were made, further to be compared with circular movement associated with supercells (horizontal circles with cyclonic and anticyclonic vorticity, in Figure 2).
The evolution of convective cells was observed in the reflectivity field at elevations of 0.5 and 1.5 degrees, also in the Doppler radial velocities field and in the Doppler relative velocity field at elevations of 0.5, 1.5, 2.4, and 3.4 degrees.
The evolution in time and space of each convective cell that was characterised by the splitting process was also observed. Identification of splitting was done by tracking both reflectivity and cyclonic or anticyclone rotation, as seen in Figures 3(a) and 3(b). Figure 3(c) shows how the vertical vorticity of rotational movements was calculated.
Thus, for each rotational motion, maximum inbound and outbound velocities were identified in the Doppler relative velocity field at elevation where rotational movement had maximum intensity. The PUP application was used. For the actual calculation, radar algorithm is dividing the difference between the maximum inbound velocity and the maximum outbound velocity, by the distance between the two (mesocyclone diameter in Figure 3(c)).
Trajectories of convective cells in each case were obtained using polar coordinates, relative to the radar position, of the cells before and after the splitting. For the three cases studied in detail, the result was a map showing the individual characteristics of convective developments, taking into account the stage before splitting and the after-splitting stage (which is associated with the cyclonic and anticyclone rotation). Vertical variation of the horizontal velocity (vertical shear) was derived from the VAD Wind Profile algorithm and vertical profiles were then constructed from wind shear at particular moments, representative of the evolution of vertical shear during the life of the convective cell. The vertical domain associated with the -coordinate was separated into a domain with directional shear (in the lower tropospheric layer) and a domain with nondirectional shear (in the middle tropospheric level). This division was possible because the dynamic configuration near the radar site, at least in the three cases studied, has a nondirectional shear above 1800 m associated with an ULJ, and directional shear below 1800 m. In the first three cases, this dynamic configuration is qualitatively compatible with Doppler velocity field at 3.4-degree elevation.
To analyse the presence of the cell splitting process of convective cells in south-eastern Romania and its role in supercell evolution, cases of severe weather were analysed where this process was shown clearly in the radar fields. For the first three cases, in the reflectivity field the convective cells were identified that split, and those that resulted from the split. Using the Doppler base velocity field at 3.4-degree elevation one can tell if there is a quality equivalence between the vertical profile of horizontal velocity near the radar station and the mesoscale flow. Trajectories of split cells were rebuilt, to identify some of their peculiarities. The trajectories were compared with the precipitation field, as obtained from WSR-98D S-band radar precipitation algorithm (Precipitation Processing System, PPS [37]).
The vertical profiles associated with horizontal vorticity were compared with vertical vorticities specific to cyclonic or anticyclonic rotation. In the last two cases, the presence of an upper-level jet was analysed, and the intensity of relative flow was examined.
3. Results and Discussions
3.1. The First Studied Case, May 28, 2008
A cyclone located in north-east Romania contributed to the instability conditions present in the Doppler radar area of the Medgidia site. Starting at 1130 UTC, on an NW-SE intense tropospheric circulation, convective cells developed in SE Romania that were split and became supercells. The most severe supercells were the ones with cyclonic rotation, such as those having the V shape in reflectivity field. Besides these, multicells systems were present in the radar field, with a lower degree of severity.
The temporal evolution of mesoscale flow is represented in Figure 4, between 1406 UTC and 1506 UTC, as seen in the VAD Wind Profile product and in the base Doppler velocities field. The vertical wind profile was characterized by intense mesoscale flow from the north west to south east, above 1800 m (6 KFT) (Figure 4(a), in the white box). Below this level, from the VAD Wind Profile and base Doppler velocities, one can notice the anticyclonic rotation of velocity vector (Figure 4(a), in the yellow box).
At the 5000 m level, Figure 4(a), the values of velocity reach 35 m s−1 growing to 40–45 m s−1 at 35 KFT (10500 m). The colour for the wind vectors represents the level of confidence in the VAD Wind Velocity data; the level of confidence is larger in the lower troposphere (green, dispersion of 0–2 m s−1) and in the upper troposphere (yellow, dispersion of 2–4 m s−1). A larger dispersion of velocity is recorded in the lower layers (red, dispersion of 4–6 m s−1), which can be associated with different gust fronts caused by convective developments. In the same figure, both the anticyclonic rotation of the velocity vector in the lower two km and the upper tropospheric jet are consistent with the warm sector of the cyclone located north east of Romania. This vertical configuration of the horizontal velocity is also associated with increased thermodynamic instability in the troposphere below approximately 500 hPa; the main factor for the increase in conditional instability is moisture advection in the lower layers. However, the presence of a vertically expanded upper tropospheric jet is associated with ageostrophic velocities, which are the result of horizontal variation of the geostrophic velocities that lead to changes in the thermal gradient within the middle troposphere [18].
Vertical wind profile configurations of the mesoscale flow can be seen in the Doppler velocity field at 3.4-degree elevation (Figure 4(b)), and they are qualitatively equivalent with the vertical wind profile given by the VAD Wind Profile product. This equivalence is the result of the zero isodope analysis [34] in the Doppler velocity field. The zero isodope represents the area where the Doppler velocities are zero (gray colours, in Figure 4(b)). Near the radar site (in the boundary layer) the isodope is S shaped, compatible with the velocities profile (within the yellow box, in Figure 4(a)). Going away from the radar (increasing the height), this has a linear shape on the NE-SW direction and is compatible with the upper tropospheric jet direction (Figure 4(a)). The intensity of the jet stream is obtained by measuring the Doppler velocities at 90 degrees from the isodope, having the same height (same distance from the radar in the Doppler velocity field).
The dynamic field of the Doppler velocities was maintained over the interval with the mentioned convective phenomena (a few hours). In Figure 5(a) the reflectivity field is shown at 1500 UTC at 1.5-degree elevation, and in Figure 5(b) the Doppler relative velocity field is shown at 2.4-degree elevation at 1500 UTC. The reflectivity field at each elevation has a 1 km2 resolution with a coverage area of 230 km radius around the radar site and the corresponding product is built every 6 minutes. The angle of the radar azimuth beam is about 0.97 degrees, so that 366 azimuths are needed to cover the entire radar area. At 1.5-degree elevation (Figure 5(a)), as the height of the radar echo increases along with the distance to the site at 230 km from the site the height is 9.6 km. In Figure 5(a), the Doppler velocities field relative to the storm is at 2.4-degree elevation, and at the 230 km the height is 13.2 km.
In the reflectivity field, six convective cells can be seen, resulting from three convective cells that had split, and in the relative Doppler velocity field the rotation can be seen, associated with resulted convective cells. A fundamental feature is the relative jet at 100–1000 m with velocities of up to 29 m s−1. This relative jet is the storm input flow and can only be observed in the storm's reference frame; it may be associated with the moisture inflow. Above 6000 m there is a relative flow with velocities up to 11 m s−1.
Trajectories of convective cells that had split during evolution present symmetry to the mean shear in the 1800–6000 m layer (blue arrow), with cells characterised by cyclonic rotation left of the vector and anticyclone rotation right of it (Figure 6(a)). In Figure 6(a), advection of convective cells by the tropospheric circulation is on the NW-SE direction. In this case, because the flow is parallel wih the shear vector on the mean troposhere, the convective cells with cyclonic rotation (red) deviate to the right and the ones with anticyclonic rotation (blue) to the left of this direction. Following the cell evolution, the intensity of the cyclonic rotation is larger than that of anticyclonic rotation. The cause for this difference can be associated with directional shear in the 300–1800 m layer and is favoured by advection of vorticity, whose vector is parallel to the wind relative to the storm [17, 18].
The splitting process may occur several times in the cells following from a previous split. For multiple splits, cells are favoured whose movement occurs on the left of the mean tropospheric shear. One possible explanation is that these cells draw more vorticity from their surroundings, vorticity which is perpendicular to the relative storm flow [18].
Cumulative rainfall in the evolution area, associated to the convective cells, is presented in Figure 6(b). The maximums are associated with convective cells, appearing as lines with symmetrical shear. Trajectories associated with more precipitation are to the right of shear in the 1800–6000 m layer. The amount of precipitation is amplified by the intersection of convective cells paths (cells with cyclonic rotation intersect those with anticyclonic rotation); indeed, in Figure 6(a), these intersections are more likely to the right of the mean shear vector.
Vertical wind variation associated with VAD Wind Profile, Figure 4(a), is represented for 6 times in Figure 7. Note the presence of the tropospheric jet in the 1800–9000 m layer, with values of about 40 m s−1 at 9000 m. The vertical profile of horizontal vorticity versus vertical vorticity associated with cell rotation is given in Figure 8; here, vorticity was calculated every 305 m on the -axis. One can see several maximum values of vorticity. The highest values are found in the 2000–4000 m layer. The horizontal vorticity of the environment (Figure 8, blue chart) was superimposed over cyclonic or anticyclonic vertical vorticity associated with mesocyclones (Figure 8, vertical lines) in the radar area. The parallel lines with vertical axes signify the vorticity of mesocyclones calculated with the radar algorithm in Figure 3(c). Vorticity was plotted both with a plus and minus sign for symmetry, to be more easily compared with the horizontal vorticity of the environment.
3.2. The Second Studied Case, June 25, 2009
The presence of a stationary cyclone in the SE of Romania modulated the mesosynoptic configuration in which severe convective cells developed. These cells had supercellular attributes and had an SE-NE direction in the S-band WSR-98D radar area (located in Medgidia). In the first stage, convection had an isolated character and formed near the radar site. Afterwards, the majority of cells split and became supercells. In the end, the cells with cyclonic rotation formed a convective system. Similarly to the previous case, the vertical velocity profile is characterized by an intense mesoscale flow above 1800 m (6 KFT) (Figure 9(a), the white box). Below this level, between 1113 UTC and 1215 UTC, in the same figure one can see the rotation of velocity vector along the -axis (this rotation may be associated with directional shear) (the yellow box, in Figure 9(a)).
Above 1800 m, there is strong intensification of wind, associated with the presence of a ULJ from south east; this ULJ reaches 35 m s−1 at 5000 m. The dynamic field that can be viewed in the Doppler velocities, Figure 9(b), retained its structure between 1030 UTC and 1800 UTC.
Radar reflectivities show four secondary convective cells that are resulted from the splitting of two initial cells (Figure 10(a)). Three of them are supercells, and one is nonsevere. In the field of relative Doppler velocities a relative jet is present whose speed is up to 16 m s−1 at 1000 m, while above 5000 m intense circulation is present, with up to 16 m s−1, (Figure 10(b)). The refletivity field and the relative velocity characteristics are the same as in the pevious case.
Severe storms moving towards the left of mean shear (anticyclonic rotation) were characterized by high intensity and shorter lifespan and were associated with the presence of Three-Body Scatter Spike (TBSS) radar artifact (Figures 10(c) and 10(d)). This artifact is a radar signature in reflectivity field, generally a 10–30 km long, aligned radially downrange from a strong echo region in reflectivity field (>60 dBZ) associated with a severe storm. It is caused by non-Rayleigh radar microwave scattering or Mie scattering and is asociated with high probability of large hail [38–40].
In Figure 11 three vertical velocity profiles are presented, at certain times representative for this case. Here, the tropospheric ULJ has 35–40 m s−1 at 6000 m. The vorticity profile is shown in Figure 12 (blue chart).
The mesocyclone vorticities associated with convective cells that splited are represented by parallel lines with the vertical axes (Figure 12). Note that most values of vorticity lie between −0.005 s−1 to −0.015 s−1 and 0.005 s−1 to 0.015 s−1. There is also rotation with values of shear around 0.04 s−1. In a first approximation, the vorticities of the vertical wind profile are comparable with those of the mesocyclone.
Trajectories of convective cells resulted from the split, present symmetry to the mean shear on the 1800–6000 m layer, with cells characterized by cyclonic rotation to the left of the vector and cells with anticyclonic rotation to the right (Figure 13(a)).
The evolution of these cells shows that the intensity of cyclonic rotation is greater than that of anticyclonic rotation. The precipitation distribution function, by shear in the 1800–5000 m layer is represented in Figures 13(b), 13(c), and 13(d). Grouping in three-hour intervals was made in order to highlight the symmetry of precipitation distributions from shear vector. Large amounts were recorded at the intersection of several trajectories caused by several splits and also to the right of shear.
3.3. The Third Studied Case, August 11, 2003
In this case, starting at 1300 UTC, in SE Romania and NE Bulgaria, during the fast evolution of a trough which moved from W to E, convective cells have developed with supercell characteristics, visible in the radar-swept area.
About this event it can be readily said that, depending on the wind distribution, vertical shear, and time of day, two dynamic behaviors are distinguishable. As such, in the interval 0400 UTC–1115 UTC, the vertical velocity profile is characterized by a moderate mesoscale flow above 1500 m (Figure 14(a)). The radar reflectivity at 1.5-degree elevation is in echoes with a strip form, perhaps associated with conditional symmetric instability [41, 42] or with an internal-gravitational wave [18] (Figure 14(b)). Here, no splitting process occurred.
As it can be seen in Figure 15, wind velocities have a maximum at 20 m s−1 at 2000 m. The vorticity distribution, shown in Figure 16, has a pronounced maximum of 0.04 s−1 at 1000 m.
Between 1328 UTC and 1432 UTC, the mesoscale dynamic state changes, a ULJ being present in the high troposphere, that can be seen in the vertical profile of horizontal wind (Figure 17(a)). Between 304 and 1500 m, neither the measurements of wind nor the VAD Wind Profile are reliable. Here, the influence of convective phenomena that can generate gust fronts is present. In Figure 18 the presence of the tropospheric jet is shown by velocities of 37 to 40 m s−1 at 6700 m. Due to the tropospheric jet, the reflectivity field has changed, emphasizing now the splitting process both in radar reflectivities and Doppler relative velocities (Figures 17(b) and 17(c)).
Mesocyclone vorticities associated with convective cells that split are represented by parallel lines with the vertical axes (Figure 19). Note that most of vorticity values lie between −0.001 s−1 and −0.009 s−1, and between 0.001 s−1 and 0.009 s−1. The maximum vorticity here had a value around 0.011 s−1.
The Doppler relative velocities to the elevation of 1.5 degrees, Figures 20(a) and 20(b), show a relative jet in the low levels, whose speed is up to 23 ms−1 at 500 m, while the relative flow at higher levels (above 6000 m) gets to 18 m s−1. Spatial distribution of convective cell trajectories before and after splitting is shown in Figure 21(a). There is overlapping of the mean tropospheric shear vector on the 1500–6700 m layer. Symmetric trajectories to the mean shear are seen. In the precipitation field (Figure 21(b)), cells having higher water amounts are to the right side of the mean shear.
3.4. Other Cases (September 27, 2004; June 23, 2009)
In the first case, a quasi-stationary trough of a big amplitude was present to the west of Romania. The first severe convective cells were seen by the radar at 1020 UTC in Bulgaria and were advected in Romania by the tropospheric circulation. The convective cells which later split were initiated nearby the radar site at 1220 UTC. In this case, the convective cells with anticyclonic rotation had a bigger life time and a greater severity as well.
In the second case, the mesosynoptic configuration was modulated by the cyclone west of Romania. The circulation due to this cyclone was southern over the south east of Romania in the boundary layer as well as at higher altitude. In the first part of the day, the Doppler radar caught a mesoconvective system with supercells. After the convective system dissipated, other new convective cells have been initiated and split; the most severe ones of them have cyclonic rotation.
As in the cases above, for these two other cases the main feature associated with the mesoscale configuration was the ULJ, whose speed exceeded 33 m s−1. In the first case (September 27, 2004), intense flow is visible at lower levels in the field of Doppler relative velocity, and in upper layers at approximately 11–15 m s−1, as visible in Figure 22(b).
The convective cells in Romania that evolved to the left of tropospheric shear were associated with nonnegligible probability of hail as indicated by the presence of Three-Body Scatter Spike (Figure 22(d)). Cyclonic shear at low levels (Figure 22(a)) can be a direct indication of the severity of convective cells that propagate to the left of the shear vector. The cells in Bulgaria show strong propagation to the right of the tropospheric shear and also showing the Three-Body Scatter Spike (Figure 22(c)). For these, the splitting process was not seen. In the second case (June 23, 2009), intense flow is not present at lower levels in the field of Doppler velocity relatively, but a relatively high speed of flow of about 15 m s−1 is seen at upper levels (Figure 23(b)). The radar reflectivity field at 1.5-degree elevation (Figures 22(c) and 23(c)) highlights the splitting process; the secondary cells evolve to the right (cyclonic rotation) and to the left (anticyclone rotation) of the shear vector S in the 1800–6000 m layer.
4. Conclusions
This study shows the splitting process in SE Romania, linked to convective developments which can be seen using the S-band Doppler radar. This process is important as a dynamic one, because it can modulate the energy transfer between the synoptic scale and the mesoscale. The main mesosynoptic conditions associated with the generation of this dynamic process can be distinguished, and also its evolution. Information about all of these can be used as an additional tool in nowcasting.
From the analysis of convective cells resulted from the split it can be said that the splitting process of convective cells observed in radar fields indicates a corresponding severe weather event. As a fundamental condition, splitting of convective cells occurred when an upper level jet (30 m s−1–40 m s−1) was detected in the high troposphere (above 6000 m). In the first stages of the convective cells, the presence of the jet stream in the upper troposphere and especially its vertical extent lead them to be strongly advected by the flow. Also, the presence at lower levels of a directional variation in the horizontal wind vector leads to a stronger relative flow. In the case of a tropospheric configuration that favours the splitting process, the lower relative flow has a high intensity and is opposite to the upper relative flow; this configuration is seen in the relative Doppler velocities field at different elevations. In all the three detailed cases, below 1800 m the horizontal wind vector had a rotation associated to the asymmetry of the splitting process, and also to the strong relative flow between 100 and 1000 m, providing a powerful moisture flow through updraft and strong vorticity advection.
All the analysed cases have shown the independence of the splitting process to the atmosphere circulation. This is characteristic to baroclinic waves with a west-to-east evolution, and also to cyclones near Romania: north-west circulation for May 1–28, 2008, south-east circulation for June 2–25, 2009, west circulation for August 3–11, 2003, south-south-east circulation for September 27, 2004, and south circulation for June 23, 2009.
The largest amounts of precipitation are related to cell cross-trajectories associated with the splitting process and lie to the right of shear in 1800–6000 m layer (Figures 6, 13, and 21). The splitting process may lead to a mesoscale convective system. If this happens the secondary cells interact constructively afterwards; this will happen to the right side of the mean tropospheric shear.
The local maxima of vertical vorticity (Figures 9, 13, and 21) are most positive (to the right side of the 0,0 coordinate). Keeping the same sign of horizontal vorticity is essential in formation of cyclonic and anticyclonic vortices, confirmed by Figure 1. The magnitude of the horizontal vorticity associated with vertical wind profiles and that of vertical vorticity for cyclonic and anticyclonic rotation are comparable; the majority of values is lying in the 0.001 s−1–0.009 s−1 interval (in a first approximation, these magnitudes verify the dynamic process associated to the formation of cyclonic and anticyclonic vortices).
Both the June 25, 2009 and in the September 27, 2004 cases highlight the TBSS associated with convective cells (anticyclonic rotation) with a motion to the left of the shear vector in the mean troposphere, which means that these cells have attributes that indicate the presence of severe hail. An explanation could be the fact that the convective cells with motion left to the mean shear are more isolated than those with motion to the right of it. The former cells are moving to the zone where the values of geopotential and temperature are falling. Here, the thermal gradient is perpendicular to the shear vector (thermal wind relation), something that can accelerate the increase in thermodynamic instability.
To have a good image of the splitting process, in the next studies observational data from meteorological stations and soundings would have to be used.

I have a long-standing fondness for folk music such that I would have been happy to watch a feature-length version of the Greenwich Village section of I'm Not There, so I'm curious to see how the Joel and Ethan Coen's movie about the same period, Inside Llewyn Davis, tracking the career of fictional folksinger of the same name, looks in its entirety:
Watching this trailer, I was particularly struck by Carey Mulligan's character, who maybe is Davis' girlfriend, current or former, but at minimum is a frustrated truth-teller who is acutely aware of Davis's weaknesses. This clip reminded me of something Emily Nussbaum wrote earlier this year about "a time when the legendary wildness of male New York intellectuals and artists was made possible by middle-class girlfriends who paid the rent and absorbed hipness from the kitchen. As Joyce Johnson, Jack Kerouac's onetime girlfriend, observed in her scathing memoir Minor Characters, an account of kohl-eyed Barnard coeds fleeing to Greenwich Village, 'Even a very young woman can achieve old-ladyhood, become the mainstay of someone else's self-destructive genius.'"
Elizabeth Olsen is playing another character like this in Kill Your Darlings, the account of Allen Ginsberg's friendship with Lucien Carr at Columbia, leading up to the period when Carr killed David Kammerer. She's Edie Parker, who eventually married Jack Kerouac, also a character in the movie, for a brief period while he was imprisoned. And while she's less angry than Mulligan's character appears to be, she embodies the awfulness of standing by while people who think they're geniuses self-indulge and self-destruct. It's irritating to constantly put women in the position of having to be the in-text reminders to the audience that what male characters think is badass is not necessarily so. But better that, I suppose, than a straight-forward lionization of self-absorption. And at least Mulligan's character gets to be an artist, too.

Gallstones are hardened deposits of digestive fluid that form in your gallbladder, an organ underneath the liver that is responsible for storing bile – liquid that helps the body digest fats.
Bile ducts are tiny tubes that carry bile from the liver to the gallbladder then into the digestive system.
Some people with gallstones experience no symptoms, but if they start to block the gallbladder they can cause nausea and pain and lead to fatal infection.
Moreover, they can stop the flow of bile out of the liver and gallbladder which in turns cause jaundice.
Lai Chiu Nan is a Chinese doctor which found out an amazing natural recipe that helps to remove gallstones quickly, easily, and permanently.
So, if you consider that you have gallstones, Dr. Lai recommends this method in order to remove the gallstones.
The treatment lasts 7 days. The first 5 days, you should drink 4 glasses of apple juice a day, or eat 4-5 apples, it depends on you. Apple juice has the ability to soften the gallstones. During these 5 days, you need to eat normally.
On the sixth day, you should not eat dinner. On this day, at 6 pm you should take 1 teaspoon of Epsom salts with a glass of warm water. At 8 pm, repeat the same procedure.
Epsom salt can open the failure of bile. At 10 pm, you should take half a cup of olive or sesame oil with half cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice. Make sure to mix well and drink it immediately. The oil has the ability to lubricate the stones and facilitate their passage.
On the seventh day, you will find green stones in your stool. In most cases, they float. You can also count them. Nan Chiu says that there are people who found 40, 50, or even up to 100 stones.
You can also try this natural therapy even if you do not have any symptoms of gallstones. Dr. Nan Chiu says that it is always good to have your gallbladder clean.

The security of your code is of paramount importance to us. As software vendors and experienced practitioners ourselves, we understand the need for ensuring isolation and security for multiple reasons; to secure your codebase and also to ensure a uniform quality of service to all our customers. The seriousness with which we take steps to protect your code are the same as we would take to protect our own code from unauthorized access. The following document should help you understand the steps and measures we take to secure your resources in our ecosystem.
Access to GitHub
There are two reasons we would access GitHub on your behalf.
- Authenticate you when you visit our website. This communication happens over HTTPS and is secured by the mechanisms of that protocol. We do not ever acquire your GitHub credentials, merely the right to access data on your behalf.
- Fetch code changes into our system when we are notified of changes. We pull the code from GitHub over ssh using secure keys we automatically generate and upload for you when you initially provision the build. Thus, all your code is brought into our environment securely.
The authentication protocol we use is OAuth. OAuth scopes let us specify what access we need from GitHub. Specifically, we ask for user (read/write access to user profile info only) and repo (read/write access to public and private repos and organizations) access. This does not let us delete the repositories.
At any point in time, you may login to GitHub and revoke all rights you have granted to Snap CI. This includes the certificates that Snap has uploaded to facilitate the pulling of code.
Your code on our service
Our service runs on Amazon AWS. Your project ecosystem consists of
- - a build server
- - one or more build agents
Our aim is to provide your project ecosystem a high degree of isolation for both security and stability reasons. To this end, the server, agent(s) and the worker all live in isolated virtual environments (commonly referred to as containers). Each of these self-contained project specific environments is in its own Virtual LAN and serves to isolate your processes, memory, file-system and network from all other environments and other areas of the host system.
In addition to isolating individual projects from each other, our entire service lives inside a virtual private cloud inside Amazon's AWS. All the servers on which we provision your- and other builds- are isolated into this private cloud, and inaccessible from other machines and services hosted on AWS. Firewall configurations restrict traffic in and out of our private cloud.
When you initially setup a build (and subsequently, on every change we get notified of), we will pull your code and store it on the project specific environment we set up for your project.
A copy of your code will exist on the build server and build agent(s) for as long as you have a build configured with us. We destroy your entire project ecosystem (and all clones of your code, along with that) as soon as you stop using our service. Build artifacts such as archived logs might take a little longer to get deleted, but they are also deleted, so you can be confident that none of your project information is retained for longer than a few minutes to a few hours after you stop using our service.
We also regularly update and apply all critical security patches and updates to all our servers and ensure that known vulnerabilities are mitigated or eliminated.
Lastly, we will never attempt to access your code inside the production environment, unless it is with your explicit consent, and only to help you with a bug or issue you are having with our service.
In addition to us providing security at the level of our service, you can also refer to Amazon's AWS security policy around their infrastructure provisioning here: http://aws.amazon.com/security.
Access to our website
Your access to our website will happen over a secure channel and any communication between your browser and the dashboard will be secure.
We will, by default, transmit build related notifications over the most secure option available, and in the event that there are multiple options, all of which are not equally secure, we will provide you an option to pick the option(s) you would like to enable for your team.

ADUR and Worthing councils are seeking to remove the travellers who have set up camp on Southwick Green today (May 22).
The authorities were made aware of the 'unauthorised encampment' on the green shortly before 1pm this afternoon.
So far witnesses have reported seeing about a dozen vehicles, including caravans, on the open space.
Responding to the incident, a spokesman for Adur and Worthing councils said: "We are currently liaising with our colleagues in West Sussex County Council and Sussex Police, and are liaising with the police on the use of their Section 62 powers to direct the group to the West Sussex Transit Site just outside Chichester."

Faces in Things is a rather unusual page. The Twitter account is dedicated to blogging pictures from around the the world of inanimate objects that appear to have faces. From a smiling bench to a terrified-looking bottle opener, the pictures are quite funny and delightful to look at. There are houses, faucets, bricks, drains and even flowers with odd monkey face designs. Any object you can imagine has be placed on Faces in Things at least once.
Randomly seeing faces in inanimate objects is not a new phenomenon, but this Twitter page serves as a great medium for individuals to share their pictures and stories and otherwise have a good laugh with each other. Faces and Things is a great place to go for unusual, but amusing laughs when you need them.

This year, not only have I needed to plan and prepare my own exhibit, but as Chairman of West Forest Potters I have been co-ordinating the whole event. This has taken more time than I had anticipated, but perhaps this is because it is the first time I have been co-ordinating this event, hopefully next year will be easier. Anyway, fingers crossed that it all runs smoothly and that we have lots of visitors and sales.
I had thought that I would struggle to have enough work to exhibit this year, largely due to puppy distractions! However, when I came to collect everything together I was relieved to find that I have more than enough, so will be able to re-stock if I am successful with any sales. My intial display will look something like this...
The only really 'fresh from the kiln' piece of work in my display is this weird abstract piece on a beautiful piece of yew that Meir gave me about 3 years ago.
|smoked abstract on yew - height~30cm
The first was one of my eternity pieces (Rauiri in Maori)
It started life having green slip applied before burnishing. For some reason I fired this to stoneware temperature which did give the piece the shine without the need for wax polishing, but reduced the porosity for smoking which was my next step.
Needless to say, smoking was not successful!
Back into the kiln to burn off this mess.
This all took place back in December 2012, since then the work has sat on one of my shelves feeling a little sorry for itself.
I finally got around to trying to glaze the piece. I applied vellum off white then added 'splodges' of marble green. The piece came out of the kiln looking like a green and cream dalmation! (sorry no photo) More marble green glaze and firing no.5 has produced the piece below, which I now feel happy with (at last!).

As far as health-consciousness goes, I have very little (read: none). I'm the kind of person who fully embraces the fact that my organs don't hate me yet – my liver is ready and willing to put up with even more of the Nati Ice and Popov vodka it was forced to filter during college, and my stomach still accepts meals of Extra Flaming Hot Cheetos and ranch dressing as legitimate sources of nutrition. Since I've continually treated my body this way for the last six or so years, without much repercussion – save for a handful of bad hangovers and a few regrettable bouts of food poisoning – I've always figured I'd just stop when I a) grew morbidly obese, b) discovered some sort of tumor, or c) died.
My wake-up call was, thankfully, not one of the above outcomes, but instead involved my consumption of an entire batch of Pillsbury Grands biscuits – like, literally, one whole can of that refrigerated, squishy biscuit dough goo was baked in my oven until golden brown and flaky, and then shoved down my throat with a Yoo-Hoo or a Corona or whatever to wash it down. The worst part was, I didn't even realize what I was doing until there were nothing but crumbs left on the cookie sheet (who needs plates?). But boy, would I feel it later. Those partially-hydrogenated lumps of butter-flavored cement sat in my stomach like a bad date sits next to you on a broken ferris wheel ride where you're stuck at the top – I knew the sheer agony I was about to experience, and I couldn't do a damn thing to get away from it.
Once the doughy balls of titanium finally digested, and I could once again fit into my non mu-muu clothing a few days later, I knew something needed to change. After some consideration (and a few more episodes of Barefoot Contessa), I thought about how I'd recently seen a perky girl at work hold up a plastic bottle of some foul, brown colored liquid, claiming she was "juice fasting" for three days, and gush about how fantastic a diet of vegetal sludge material made her feel. It was a total detox, a cleanse from all the preservatives and artificial flavorings and processed crap that's jam-packed in all of the food we eat. The added bonus was, she said, losing five pounds in the process, and since it's officially bathing suit season, girls, we needed all the help we could get. Ignoring the last part, I thought about how that sounded totally stupid and super easy and how I could definitely do that for three – no, five – days, no sweat. After all, this was not my first time to the liquid-diet rodeo, if you catch my drift.
So, I began to research all things juice, and realized my best bet (and the only way I could avoid spending $100+ on squashed veg from a hipster juicery with biodegradable straws) was to make my own. Equipped with a power juicer my father had purchased while on a spur-of-the-moment fitness kick (and which he promptly discarded onto a garage shelf a few months later), and a small farmer's market-sized array of produce, I began a-juicin'. Juicing rules basically read that the tastier/sweeter your juice, the more off-limits it is, and that you pretty much should be adding spinach, celery, and/or beet to everything in order to make it the most nutritious; I wanted to (prove to everyone that I could) do it right, so I put together bizarre-yet-exceedingly-healthy combinations such as granny smith apples, green bell peppers, spinach, garlic, ginger, and an orange or two. By the end of the three hours I spent carefully prepping the veggies, figuring out how to place them in the juicer, and cleaning bits of pulp and fiber off the kitchen walls when I failed to do that, I had two liters of homemade, brown toxic waste of my own! I excitedly bottled most of it to take to work the next day, and then proceeded to eat three-cheese fries and drink two glasses of red wine as a well-deserved "last meal."
I wish I could adequately describe how horrific the first day of the fast was. Each minute of my morning commute without a soy vanilla latte, half pump, extra foam, was pure torture. Lunch hour felt like three, mainly because I did not have a lunch to eat. I thought I was going to pass out, convinced that I was already malnourished and wasting away at 3pm, from the extreme exhaustion and hunger I felt at that moment. And the worst part was, each sip of juice tasted more like putrid, watery alphabet soup than the one before it, except for I was then desperately craving the associated pieces of disintegrating pasta, potatoes and canned green beans. Not to mention, I really wanted a chocolate chip cookie. Sandwiched between two buttered pieces of sourdough bread. Like, real bad. Somehow I stayed strong, though, and made it to day two without any major fallout – save for the weak moment when I saw a girl unwrap and wolf down a king size Rice Krispies treat in her car, and visibly screamed at her from my own vehicle because she wasn't properly savoring it. (I blame the juice.)
Days two and three were largely similar, hallmarked by extreme mood-swings, sugar highs when I decided to cheat and reward myself with orange-pineapple-strawberry juice that actually tasted like something a normal person would consume, and at least ten trips to the bathroom per day to pee out all the juice. Though my kidneys were working overtime to remove toxins, and I felt so miserable that the cleanse must be doing its job, right?, I was disappointed that I hadn't reached some level of spiritual enlightenment or seen a big, flashing neon sign welcoming me to Healthville, like so many fasters I read about had claimed to have experienced. I was simply hangry, tired, unfocused, and daydreaming excessively about the meal of butternut squash ravioli and sage brown-butter sauce I would eat to break the fast – down to the sprig of thyme I would use to garnish the plate.
Motivated solely by the fact that my fridge contained nothing but juice and a three pound bag of spinach, I had no choice but to see the fast through for the remaining two days. The end was so close, I could taste it (actually, I could only taste the beet-grapefruit-carrot juice I had a few hours before)! Ultimately, I drank and peed and sugar-crashed my way to Friday afternoon. I left work that day triumphant, knowing I was in for something that was not juice, and instead full of fat and cheese and carbs and all the other things that made my food world go 'round. As I walked from the parking garage to my apartment, I felt like a marathon runner sprinting the last hundred yards to the finish line, willing myself to grow another two arms so I could sauté and stir and chop and serve simultaneously.
As my beautiful pièce de résistance sat, steaming on a plate, the six yellowed pieces of ravioli swimming in divine pools of salted, browned butter, lemon, and fragrant herbs, I experienced something that I can only describe as culinary impotence. I could not bring myself to eat the little pillows of joy, knowing in fear that solid food – and especially, food this rich and deliciously hedonistic— would bring an end to my fast and I had worked so hard to maintain my discipline and oh no, how could I stop now, the pain was so good. I had trained myself to feel a different kind of hunger, one that could not be satiated by food, and deal with it by drinking juice or ignoring it outright. It was Stockholm syndrome of the worst kind, a reverse-Pavlovian response that I never thought I'd acquire. It felt like cheating to even think about eating a spinach salad or a piece of cantaloupe, highly classified and dangerously healthy substances by the standards of my former diet (which mainly consisted of beer, cheese, and the red-blue gummy worms).
The feeling passed, and I ultimately assembled the aforementioned salad, first appreciating the unfamiliar sensation of chewing, and feeling perfectly, contentedly full after I finished the bowl. As I (thankfully) did not feel ill after consuming foods that did not resemble something one would feed a Gerber baby, I thought about the changes to my outlook brought on by this fast. As silly and unimpressive as it sounds, I was proudest of myself for wanting, and even enjoying, salad – without the pieces of gorgonzola and dried cranberries and candied walnuts that usually make salads so good. I wanted to actively do something good for my body, of my own accord, rather than eking by and allowing my gastrointestinal system to do all the heavy lifting. Regardless of whether the change was just for that evening (I had chilaquiles and three mimosas at brunch the next day, made with orange juice from concentrate, thankyouverymuch), I was finally getting focused on giving my body the nourishment – and frankly, respect – it deserves. It's a long road ahead, but at least I'm no longer on the detour.
I can safely say that juice fasts are not for me, and I'm not exactly desirous of doing another one anytime soon. I believe it is something that only my perky co-worker and that guy from "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead" can accomplish repeatedly, while still retaining some vestige of sanity…and my moody side effects were very certainly the opposite of sane (read: I was a hangry betch). Also, I'm too hungry for that sh*t. However, all in all, the extremity of the fast imparted two, very important lessons that I will carry with me always: 1)I may one day have the metabolism of a sloth, so I better prepare early and stop carpe diem-ing with sh*tty food, and 2) I can never reach such a dietary low that I have to scare myself straight with a juice fast, ever again. Oh and also, 3) kale juice is sick.

WishBone Medical is a company that knows its customer and listens to their needs. Understanding user needs is key to providing the appropriate product necessary to solve the problem. Our customer, the pediatric orthopedic surgeon is the best-trained and most experienced doctor to properly diagnose, treat, and manage children's musculoskeletal problems in a child who is still growing. This includes newborn babies through young adults (ages 0-21).
Children continue to receive inappropriate, adult orthopedic products that were not originally intended for them. At best, an adult orthopedic device was altered and made smaller, without regard for the fundamental physiological elements that differentiate pediatric anatomy from that of an adult. Pediatric orthopedic implants must grow and morph with the child. Our company will develop a broad product portfolio to address the variety of conditions that pediatric orthopedic surgeons treat on a daily basis.
The Company has isolated six primary categories for product development:
Fracture Management
Sports Medicine
Total Joints
Braces & Splints
Deformity Correction
Today, WishBone Medical is continuing what Nick Deeter, our CEO and Chairman of the Board, started over a decade ago developing new, innovative products that will address the needs of our customer. Products will be shipped in sterile, single use disposable kits, reducing infection potential in the patient. These kits will be sold to hospitals and clinics, without the need for sales representation in every operating room.

Weld County (Colo.) Sheriff's Deputy Sam Brownlee was fatally shot by a suspect deputies pulled over south of Greeley, reports the Denver Post.
The incident began when a Morgan County Sheriff's deputy and Wiggins police officer spotted a car Ruben Reyes, 20, had stolen from a woman he knew.
Reyes headed into Greeley and began driving south. The Colorado State Patrol used Stop Stick tire deflation devices to end the pursuit.
Two Weld County Sheriff's deputies, including Brownlee, and an Evans police officer who had taken over the pursuit approached the damaged vehicle after it came to rest in a residential neighborhood.
Reyes killed Brownlee, and was then fatally shot by another officer.

As your votes keep rolling in for our crowning title of Southport's Greatest, Visiter reporter Steven Craddock has spoken to the principal of a resort college to see who they think should win.
Principal of Southport College, John Clarke, supported our poll by sponsoring it and has outlined a number of people who he believes should be recognised.
Mr Clarke joined Southport College two and a half years ago after moving from Burnley College, where he worked for six years.
He said: "I'm not from Southport myself, so I'd consider myself a relative newcomer.
"However, what struck me is the number of people that have had a connection with the college and an affiliation with Southport that goes back quite a long way.
"It's not just the top 100 people that make a town, it has to go far beyond that.
"To some extent the list probably doesn't include a lot of people that are worthy of mention but are perhaps not eminent in their own right and have contributed to the town.
"A name that leapt out for me was AJP Taylor - an eminent historian who was born and brought up in Birkdale.
"He is probably one of the top historians of the 20th century, I studied him when I was at university.
"I was then looking at people from the arts including Miranda Richardson, Anthony Quayle, Jean Alexander.
"Marc Almond, who is still performing and writing, has had an interesting career.
"The third area I looked at was sport but the one which struck me was Jimmy Rimmer who played the bulk of his career for Manchester United and Arsenal.
"I suppose the other sporting person you'd choose is Ginger McCain.
"In terms of politics, a name that stuck me was Brendan Barber, the general secretary of the TUC, I suppose because of the position that he achieved.
"The final group of people that I looked at were people who have actually made some significant contribution to Southport as it is now.
"There's a lot of effort that goes into charity work and I don't think she's from Southport, but a name that springs out to me is Karen Groves, from Queenscourt Hospice.
"It's difficult to compare, there are different types of contribution.
"I've been struck by the number of people who have a connection to the college and many of them have been successful in their own right.
"From that we've got to thinking about whether we should set up some sort of alumni as a way of doing two things.
"Reconnecting people to the college because I think that might be interesting for them to come and have a look at it as it is now compared to when they were here.
"More importantly to see if we can use some of their expertise and skills and some of their experience which they have gained subsequently and feed that back to the students in some shape or form.
"The other example from the college is Marcus Wareing, who studied at the college and went off and became a top chef - you can see how he might come back to the college and inspire students.
"Our college governors are very keen on this and we were thinking of launching the association towards the end of this academic year, so over the next two or three months.
"It is important to be proud of where you're from and this list reinforces that.
"There's nothing wrong with celebrating achievement either and this is about celebrating different forms of achievement.
"It also makes you a little bit more aware of your history and who has contributed to the make-up of a place."

After one loyal customer stepped up and took on a dare, a cafe in Sydney, Australia is now offering free coffee for life to customers. But a little bit more than a loyalty card is needed in this caseto benefit from the offer; customers have to get a tattoo – of the cafe's logo.
The cafe in question is The Hub House Diner in the city, and they came up with what some might consider the crazy idea early in March. It all started when local resident Telly Tsimbas, a regular customer since the diner first opened, was joking with barista Nick Papas. Nick said to him: "If you get a tattoo, I'll give you free coffee for a lifetime."
Telly had several tattoos already and figured another small one would not make much difference, so off he went to the tattoo shop. Ten minutes later, he had 'the hub HOUSE' tattooed on the inside of his upper armand a guaranteed lifetime of free coffee from his favourite cafe. He reckoned the offer was too good to miss, saying,"I live around the corner and was going everyday regardless, so it's a good opportunity for me and I am saving money."

The cafe has now opened the offer to anyone else who gets the cafe's logo tattooed on their body. As yet, nobody else has taken them up on their offer, but it has certainly generated a lot of interest on their Facebook page.
So does Mr Tsimbas have any regrets? Only one: "I should have told them to bring back their chilli chicken burger and throw that in for free too."
