Lung Cancer Treatment • Treatment Lung tumors can press on a major blood vessel, the superior vena cava, creating a medical emergency. Symptoms of this condition include swelling in the neck and face, difficulty breathing, and coughing. Bending forward or lying down may make symptoms worse. Lung cancer that has spread to other organs can create medical emergencies, for example, by compressing the spinal cord or blocking the bowels. Symptoms of spinal cord compression include back pain and tenderness that feels worse when lying on the back and a tingling sensation in the back or legs. A spinal cord compression can cause weakness in the legs, and ultimately paralysis. It can also cause incontinence. If you experience abdominal pain and vomiting, you could be experiencing the side effects of chemotherapy, or you could have a bowel obstruction. Consult your doctor or go to the emergency room for any of these problems. Get prompt medical attention if you have a change in cough or breathing, or if

Monday, August 10, 2009 Good News, Bad News First the bad news. For the next month, I will be working an hour extra every day. So instead of an 8 hour day, I'll have a 9 hour day. Bleah. Why am I so blessed? The good news, G20 summit is coming to the 'Burgh and working downtown will be WAY too difficult. The options given to our IT department were work from home risking a dropped connection, take personal time, or do make up hours for the three days and take the days off. I opted for the last one. With my cousin getting married that Saturday and my crazy aunts (you know who you are :) ) coming in, it seemed like the best option. Just this time? Can you please give me a better Danny's hoagie heads up? Tomorrow I'm going to try for pictures. Tonight seems risky as the lights are already flickering. 1 comment: DPUTiger said...

Skip directly to content T.I. vs EMIN?M Shady_2's picture on January 10, 2011 - 5:53am It's hard to compare. Eminem is talented beyond many but T.I. is just the same.

Shouldn't you have sorted this out already? Look Pro(phetic): Muck Around with Your Seatpost by brett / Feb 19 2012 / 153 posts I have a friend who is borderline OCD. He’ll sometimes wash his hands dozens of times a day, doesn’t like sticky stuff, cats drive him to antihistamine hell and there is a place for everything, with everything in its place. This can be annoying, not only for those around him, but especially for himself. It’s not a great place to be. The upside is his bikes are always meticulously maintained, fully Rule compliant, or they are in a state of tear-down having last week’s grease freshened up and each ball bearing individually polished. He’s gotten it under control quite admirably these days, and while a chip in the duco of his beautiful steel frame will still understandably piss him off, there’s not the slightest hint of sending it back to Italy to be re-sprayed by the 78 year old artisan who originally painted it, who inconveniently happened to retire in 1984.

John Garrett: Why so serious? Thursday, 14.05.2009 / 12:59 PM / Features By John Garrett It was a pleasure covering the Canucks this season. They had a new energy and positive team attitude that was refreshing and very enjoyable personally as a fan and professionally. They believed in themselves at the start of the year when few people did and built on that belief to get off to a good start and a tremendous regular season finish. That is why it is so disappointing to have the season end the way it did. The team that for 82 games of the regular season and the first four of the playoffs looked so poised and so disciplined fell apart against the Hawks. You can say they were three minutes away from taking a 3-1 lead in the series and you would be right but you can also say they had a lead in all six games and three leads in their final game and you know how it ended. You can say all that but it still doesn't change the outcome and the too-early summer. Despite all the media what ifs and analysis of what went

Plants Of The Quran: Pomegranate plants fruit quran pomegranate The princely pomegranate, ar-Rumm in Arabic, is mentioned in the Qur’an as one of the many delicious rewards awaiting in Paradise. Its numerous uses in cooking and medicine, as well as its beautiful structure, make the fruit a wonder for Muslims who believe that each pomegranate seed is a sign of the sustainer. Pomegranates are mentioned three times in the Qur’an: As one of the fruits that will be found in paradise: “In both of them [gardens] are two springs, spouting [...]In both of them are fruit and palm trees and pomegranates. So which of the favors of your Lord would you deny?” (Quran, 55:66-69) As a reminder of God’s sustenance on earth, “And He it is who produces gardens (of vine), trellised and untrellised, and palms and seed-produce of which the fruits are of various sorts, and olives and pomegranates, like and unlike; eat of its fruit when it bears fruit, and pay the due of it on the day of its reaping, and do not act extravagantl

Friday, January 14, 2011 [By Barry Rubin, crossposted from The Rubin Report.] "In 1886 all the people revolted, Even Poles in Dolhinov revolted, They were eating bread, drinking vodka and beating and strangling Jews The Jews were suffering for the boy, Stanislav. They put him in a barrel and were rocking him, Let's beat Jews in revenge for Christian blood!" Sound familiar? Thank you for this. Such simple, unbeguiling, straigh-forward accounts and contrasts are extraordinarily refreshing, given the current "reportage" and political/media climate in general. The following may be the most tragically telling condensation in this account: "This is progress! From illiterate Byelorussian peasants to the United Nations in just a bit over a century!" Why do Jews get so worked up over Holocaust denial?

Subject: File No. S7-25-06 From: Steven J Guillaudeu January 27, 2007 Although I am a beginning, small investor mainly focused on stocks and mutual funds, I feel the proposed changes to the rule regarding a minimum net worth for access to hedge funds are unacceptable. Some day, I hope to have the level of sophistication to understand hedge funds and use them to further my net worth, but I do not feel that my net worth will determine that level of sophistication. It seems, in principle, that restricting access to hedge funds based on net worth is wholly unfair to most Americans. Net worth does not determine if someone is intellectually prepared to analyze the risks associated with dangerous sports, alcohol consumption, or even driving a car. Plenty of rich people have lost their fortunes through unsophisticated money management. If there is a requirement for investor sophistication to enable investing in hedge funds, it should be based on a test, much like driving a car. As it stands, risky investments are a

So I'll try again: 1. ppc prices are set by what people are willing to pay; and 2. there is an endless stream of overly optimistic starter uppers willing to outbid competition to gain traffic; then are the ppc facilitators simply churning through the overly optimistic as they, one after another, burn through their advertising budgets and leave the market - only to be replaced by the next overly optimistic buyer? If so, would the market of soon to go broke ppc advertisers be the most lucrative one for ppc facilitators?

Preferred frame From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search In theoretical physics, a preferred or privileged frame is usually a special hypothetical frame of reference in which the laws of physics might appear to be identifiably different (simpler) from those in other frames. In theories that apply the principle of relativity to inertial motion, physics is the same in all inertial frames, and is even the same in all frames under the general principle of relativity. Preferred frame in aether theory[edit] In theories that presume that light travels at a fixed speed relative to an unmodifiable and detectable luminiferous aether, a preferred frame would be a frame in which this aether would be stationary. In 1887, Michelson and Morley tried to identify the state of motion of the aether. To do so, they assumed Galilean Relativity to be satisfied by clocks and rulers; that is, that the length of rulers and periods of clocks are invariant under any Galilean frame change.

It may be blasphemy to even consider alternatives to our beloved bacon, but if you're looking to avoid the calories and fat that come with a few strips in your next dish, consider baking some prosciutto instead. CHOW notes that baked prosciutto packs a lot of flavor into a small amount, so you won't need to use as much, and its much less fatty than bacon is. Another benefit to using prosciutto is that it works well in pasta dishes, in salads, on sandwiches, or any other normally-bacon application that would call for a lot of fried or baked bacon in it. You can get away with a slice or two of prosciutto where three or four strips of bacon would normally be called for. The down-side to the substitution, however, is that you're trading one cured meat for another, so the health benefits probably aren't that great, and there's definitely a flavor difference, so if you want a crispy strip of bacon, a baked slice of prosciutto may not hit the same notes. Plus, prosciutto is usually pricier than bacon by the pound,

BOMB 125/Fall 2013 BOMB 125/Fall 2013 cover Jace Clayton by Alan Gilbert Web Only/Posted Apr 2010, MUSIC Jace Clayton aka DJ /rupture. Photo by Stefano Giovaninni. Jace Clayton is an artist of various talents and genres. He first gained international attention as DJ /rupture with his self-released 2001 mixtape, Gold Teeth Thief. It strikingly combined hip-hop, reggae, dancehall, breakbeat, and breakcore in a way that had never quite been done before. I first heard a slice of it on a late-night WFMU radio program, the station where, fittingly enough, Clayton currently hosts a show of his own. Originally distributed for free online, Gold Teeth Thief became an underground hit. Its sound was raw and jarring, yet beautiful, smart, and intuitive in the materials it chose to brush against each other. Over the past decade, Clayton as DJ /rupture has released a number of mixes, as well as collections of original solo and collaborative material. His most recent “official” release, Uproot (2008), is more dubby-amb

 Learn how to lose weight on MedicineNet.com Weightloss: 8 Ways to Stop Obsessing About Weight (cont.) If you need a little motivation for giving up your scale, keep in mind that often minor weight fluctuations aren't as real as the numbers would have you believe. "Quick weight loss is rarely fat loss that stays off but rather a loss that is a mixture of water weight, lean protein mass, and some fat," says Susan Mitchell, PhD, a registered dietitian working with a program to help promote the dietary intake of fruits and vegetables. Eat Based on Nutritional Value Instead of Calories "Portion size determines total calorie intake, but if all the calories are from marshmallow peeps, your body will not run like the fine- tuned machine it is designed to be," says Mitchell. "You may lose weight but you may also lose hair, have dry skin, awful nails, and that's just what you see on the outside."

Do piggies like weekends away? (10 Posts) OhIDoLikeToBeBeside Sat 16-Feb-13 20:33:24 I would really love to get a couple of piggies. They would be indoor pigs in a C&C cage in the living room. I have had a hamster and lots of ratties in the past (as well as a dog and fish), but want something that my DS (3 yrs) can interact with. I have found all the info on here really helpful, but have a question I hope you experienced piggie keepers can answer. We have a static caravan and try to go every other weekend in spring/summer/autumn. It is roughly a 2 1/2 hour trip by car. Could we realistically take them with us? They would need smallish sleeping quarters, but could have full run of the 'living area' when we are there, and even a run out on the grass (we don't have grass at home, so I'm sure they would love this). So, is this a totally mad idea? All the other animals we have had have travelled easily, and I don't want to get them if we would have to leave them so often. Also, are the gender differences simil

Aphrodisiacs of the Middle East: Pomegranate This time of year, Mediterranean landscapes display the ripening fruits of the fall harvest season. Few are as impressive as the grand dame of them all, the pomegranate. Native to Persia, endemic to the Middle East, and a central symbol to the Jewish New Year, pomegranates embody the essence of mythological and religious lore. They are also a potentially potent aphrodisiac, a delicious and elegant addition to those who want to eat well and make love sustainably. Symbolic Food Few fruits besides the pomegranate have made such a lasting impression as a symbol of hope and eternal life. Jews recognize this ruby jewel as one of the first fruits of the autumn harvest season, and eat it during the high holidays.  In Greek mythology, Hades, the god of the underworld is said to have seduced the goddess of fertility, Persephone, with pomegranate seeds.

Rev limiter From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search A rev. limiter is a device fitted to an internal combustion engine to restrict its maximum rotational speed. This is usually carried out to prevent damage to the engine, however sometimes these devices are fitted to prevent an engine reaching the point at which it develops maximum power. This may be useful in a driving school car or similar, or utilised in systems preventing valet parking operatives from joy-riding in high-performance vehicles placed in their charge. When fitted to racing or modified street cars these adjustable devices provide more precise control than the original components built in by the manufacturer. Limiters can be used in conjunction with a shift light, which illuminates when the desired RPM is reached, indicating to the driver that a gear change is required. This allows the driver to keep his eye on the road and not have to glance repeatedly at the tachometer to monitor the engine speed. Limiters preven

While certain local populations of animals have become extirpated, there is only one species that has become extinct entirely: Steller’s sea cow (Hydrodamalis gigas).                 Steller’s sea cow was an aquatic herbivorous mammal that grew to a size of around 30 feet and a weight of eight to ten tons. It was an enormous but docile relative of modern day manatees and dugongs and is considered one of the largest mammals in modern history outside of the great whales (Marsh, et al, 2012). Due to its tremendous size,  slow and docile nature, and inability to completely submerge, Steller’s sea cow was an easily hunted and exploited target  for both Aleut and 18th century promyshlenniki –Ru

Does a Better Memory Equal Greater PTSD Risk? Strong recall may be genetically associated with heightened flashbacks of trauma and pain, according to new research. • Share • Read Later Getty Images A good memory is typically seen as a powerful advantage, an aid to intelligence and socializing.  But when experience is traumatic, this asset may become a serious liability, according to new research on survivors of the Rwandan genocide. Researchers at the University of Basel in Switzerland studied a gene for a protein called PKCA, which is known to be involved in the encoding of emotional memories.  In healthy Swiss adults, a variant called rs4790904 was found to be associated with visual memory. There are three versions of rs4790904:  AA, AG and GG.  In one experiment including over 700 healthy adults from Switzerland, people with the AA variant had better recall of happy or otherwise emotionally positive and neutral images.  A brain imaging experiment including nearly 400 Swiss adults also linked the A

[Video] Emotional Jamie Foxx, Kerry Washington & Harry Belafonte Accept NAACP Image Awards Sun, Feb 03 2013 by Necole Bitchie Filed Under: Celebrity News The NAACP Image Awards prides itself on honoring and celebrating outstanding people of color and it never fails to deliver key moments of inspiration each and every year.   This year’s show was no different as it honored the likes of legendary actor Harry Belafonte,  Kerry Washington  (three awards) and Jamie Foxx who delivered powerful, inspirational speeches. While accepting the Spingarn Medal for outstanding achievement, Harry Belafonte used the platform to address the country’s huge issue with gun violence and control: In the gun game, we are the most hunted. The river of blood that washes the streets of our nation flows mostly from the bodies of our black children. Where is the raised voice of black America? Why are we mute?

Idea Guild > Sagely Advice Rowdy Tavern Song - The Kobold's Tail I'm working on a rowdy tavern song packed with innuendo (inurendo!) and I would like some input and ideas. I'm also looking for collaborators on this little project, in case you've missed it,6375.0.html. Okay, so these fragments are what makes up the ditty so far. The tune goes like this; Da-Da-Da | Da-Dee- Da | Da-Dee-Da-Dee-Dee-Da | Da-Da-Da-Da | Da-Dee-Da-Dee-Da-Da. And these are the fragmented lyrics I've got so far(nothing is final). Friends gather round for a tale tall and true, regaling a kobold, who's endowed and shrewd. While he may seem short, and not very dapper. He still vited gets, behind red door and clapper. A kobold's tail may be gnarly and short, it still finds its uses, every lock needs a key. And his tongue may be split and his scales are still thicker, but the ladies still vouch for this little shticker. The women still grab at his bag of holding.

Winning Mega Millions Red Bud store hopes lottery luck strikes twice 7:30 AM, Nov 28, 2012   |    comments • Share • Print • - A A A + Red Bud, Ill (KSDK) -- Can a big jackpot be hit a second time in Red Bud, Illinois? The Red Bud, Illinois MotoMart store that sold one of the three $656-million winning Mega Millions ticket earlier this year has a sign outside that says "lightning can strike twice."  It was a record jackpot for Mega Millions. The Powerball jackpot for Wednesday night's drawing is $500-million, which is also a record amount. If you really want to win the Powerball jackpot, there's a way to increase your odds and even guarantee a win. You would have to come up with every possible combination of numbers you would need to buy more than 195-million tickets at $2 a piece.  That means you would have to spend $390-million. You would have to take the annuity and collect the $500-million in order to make a profit, and you'd have to hope you were the only winner. Theoretically, if someone h

Police Investigate Fatal Accident on Morgan Avenue - KiiiTV3.com South Texas, Corpus Christi, Coastal Bend Police Investigate Fatal Accident on Morgan Avenue Posted: Updated: Police are continuing to investigate the fatal accident Thursday that claimed the life of a 13-year old boy. At this point, police are still going through witness statements and evidence. They said they will decide later whether any charges will be filed as a result. "Once we determine with 100-percent certainty who is at fault, the driver will probably be cited for causing the accident," said Sr. Officer Robert Nunez of the Corpus Christi Police Department. "Other charges may follow, but that will come at the conclusion more than likely of the investigation." The accident happened just before 6 p.m. Thursday, at the intersection of Morgan and Santa Fe. Police said the driver of a Honda ran a red light and was t-boned. The impact sent it into another vehicle that was sitting at the light. The 13-year old boy, John Chapa, was eject

We have cloned a novel human autoimmune antigen in a patient suffering from rheumatoid arthritis with high levels of antibodies to the nucleolus organizer regions. Initially the human autoimmune serum was used to select a cDNA of 317 amino acids from a hamster expression library. Using the hamster DNA as a probe, we isolated the human homologous cDNA of 320 amino acids. Human and hamster polypeptides share a 95% amino acid homology. The deduced 36-kDa protein contains a putative amino-terminal NLS signal, nine cysteine-X-X-cysteine motifs highly conserved, and a carboxyl-te

Paul's Rules of Makefiles A somewhat tongue-in-cheek title, but this page lists a few very important rules you should always keep in mind when creating makefiles. Following these rules will allow your makefiles to be both pithy and beautiful. And they will make maintaining and modifying them, and thus your entire life, a much more pleasant experience. 1. Use GNU make. Don't hassle with writing portable makefiles, use a portable make instead! 2. Every non-.PHONY rule must update a file with the exact name of its target. Make sure every command script touches the file "$@"-- not "../$@", or "$(notdir $@)", but exactly $@. That way you and GNU make always agree. 3. Life is simplest if the targets are built in the current working directory. Use VPATH to locate the sources from the objects directory, not to locate the objects from the sources directory. 4. Follow the Principle of Least Repetition. Try to never write a filename more than once. Do this through a combination of make v

Don't be so quick to blame Fredi for Braves' late collapse Furman Bisher Furman Bisher Stand back just a moment or two before you start piling on Fredi Gonzalez and pinning a tail on your chosen victim for the crash of the Braves. Let's look a little closer at some of the circumstances over which he had no control. Let's start with the first of September, when the Braves checked in with a record of 81-55. Tim Hudson and even Derek Lowe had just pitched and won. In Lowe's case, that was significant. He never won again, and the year before some of our poetical laureates had labeled him our "September boy." Back up to early August -- Aug. 6 to be exact. Our Heroes lost to the New York Mets, 11-7, and the losing pitcher was Tommy Hanson. That was Hanson's last decision of the season. Move on down the calendar to Aug. 30, the day of which the Braves lost to the Nationals. Losing pitcher: Jair Jurrjens. That was his last decision of the year. He, too, never pitched again. By the stage of his demise, Hanson

Printed from Toshiba vows no "craplets" on Windows 7 notebooks updated 03:20 pm EDT, Wed October 14, 2009 Toshiba unveils Win 7 PCs with no clutter Toshiba on Wednesday updated its notebooks with Windows 7 and a rare promise among Windows PC makers. The company promises that all of its systems running the new OS, including its touchscreen models, will go without any icons on the desktop except for the default Recycle Bin. System performance should get a boost as the PCs will run as little software in the background as possible, in many cases only running anti-virus tools. The gesture is a rare one in the industry and hints at a more pronounced backlash against excessive amounts of preinstalled software on Windows systems. PC vendors have been routinely criticized for loading trial software and unnecessary utilities in a bid to discount the cost of the system through marketing deals. Most opponents point to systems not only running slower but taking longer to boot and often facing intrusive pop-ups. The i

Chandler legislator pushing for law that allows businesses to discriminate against homosexuals, other groups - East Valley Tribune: Capitol Media Services Font Size: Default font size Larger font size Posted: Wednesday, January 15, 2014 2:00 pm | Updated: 6:23 pm, Tue Mar 11, 2014. A veteran state lawmaker is pushing legislation that would allow businesses to discriminate against gays — and maybe even women and Jews — as long as they were acting on sincerely held religious beliefs. SB 1062 would allow those sued in civil cases to claim that they have a legal right to decide not to provide their services to any individual or group because it would “substantially burden” their freedom of religion. That specifically means doing something that the person feels is contrary to their religious teachings. Sen. Steve Yarbrough, R-Chandler, said the measure is aimed specifically at preventing what happened in New Mexico where courts there said a gay couple could sue a wedding photographer who turned away their re

Revolutionary Girl Utena: The Adolescence of Utena Revolutionary Girl Utena (both the manga and anime) focuses on Utena, a strong, dynamic heroine who’s vowed to become a prince; charging into battle and rescuing those in need. The Utena story centers around her adventures at her new and very mysterious school where students are fighting secret duels over a “prize,” a girl named Anthy. The Utena story takes many of the familiar manga tropes-è powerful girls, secret power struggles, and complicated romance– to a rather dark and mysterious place. It can also be very confusing, because the reader (or viewer) never quite gets a complete picture of what is going on or why. This particular manga is a one-shot based on the Utena movie (cleverly named Revolutionary Girl Utena: The Movie). The movie, aimed at a slightly older audience, is separate from both the original anime and manga. The movie is also rather strange. Stranger, in fact, than the anime and that’s saying a lot. A lot.

Communication is a Two-Way Street Business leaders consistently list being able to communicate effectively as a major key to success. Industrial psychologists have documented that effective communication is the lifeblood of good relationships with business associates, customers, vendors and investors. Yet, the American Management Association reports that 90% of all problems in an organization is a direct result of poor communication. Marriage and family counselors also point to poor communication as a common reason for interpersonal conflicts. Why is there such a failure to communicate? One reason is that people fail to keep in mind that effective communication does not occur merely because a message has been presented. More important than what is said is how others perceive and respond to what is said. The greatest obstacle to good communication is the assumption that communication has taken place when it hasn't. The dictionary defines communication as a process by which information is exchanged between

Not simply because these two are now working together, but because it was revealed how Katherine entered Mason's life at least a year earlier. So many questions from this surprise and directions it can go in... Elena: Most definitely Mason's alliance with Katherine. There's nobody who can say they saw that coming.

The Google Nexus S is space-worthy, after surviving a trip into near space - which is presumably not quite as good as outer space (we wanted to say innerspace but apart from being inaccurate it might be confused with the classic 80s sci-fi movie). The reason the phone was sent, apart from the subsequent press coverage that such a stunt would receive, was to test the various sensors on the phone. These include GPS, gyroscope, accelorometer and magnetometer - to our knowledge the phone is still lacking any warp capabilities. All went well, and the Google S managed to stay functioning in temperatures as low as minus 50 degrees Celsius at a height of 100,000 feet.

Lighter Side January 10th, 2000 The Calendar Dog by Al Campbell Have you ever noticed those outdoor calendars that feature sportsmen and their trusty dogs engaged in their favorite sports together? It melts your heart, doesn't it? I'm rather fond of sporting dogs and I own a camera, so I decided to try to get a picture fit for a calendar with my dog, (Buford), as the main entry. Life can be pretty unfair at times. Although Buford is usually willing to go along with my hair-brained schemes, some sports proved to be too much for him. You see, Buford is a basset hound with a heart as big as a horse, but short legs that put him closer to the ground than most dogs care to stand. My first try for a calendar dog picture involved Buford retrieving a duck from a local pond. It didn't take long to discover why good retrievers have long legs. It took Buford nearly half an hour to swim to the duck. When he did get there, he was too tired to drag the duck and himself back to shore. Have you ever noticed how cold the

Global Dispersions of Humans (ARCA2636) During pre-history humans colonized every landmass other than Antarctica. Archaeological and genetic evidence shows multiple expansions of hominids out of Africa over the last two million years, with humans spreading across the globe in the final migration lasting more than 100,000 years.

 Why my parents don't use Android | ZDNet Why my parents don't use Android Summary: Last week, my parents needed to buy new cell phones. Guess which phone I told them to get? This week, my colleague James Kendrick completely annihilated ZDNet Editor- in-Chief Larry Dignan in the Great Debate over Android growth. This gave me a great deal of satisfaction, as this vindicates many of the things I have said in the past about Android. Although I won the popular vote over Matt Miller in our previous iPhone 5 (cough) debate, TechRepublic Editor in Chief Jason Hiner gave the nod in that battle to Miller. I felt like I was robbed. Hiner believes that regardless of how much Android's market grows, the iPhone and iOS platform is just too compelling for many users who are invested in the system to bail from. No matter how strong an argument I presented against the iPhone 4S, millions of people are going to continue to buy iPhones in droves. Personally I agree with Kendrick that Android's momentum is too great to

Britney Spears was forced to return to the studio last week to rerecord a song from her new album after some radio stations banned the track for a coded obscene message, said the London Sun. The chorus to “If You Seek Amy” contains the lines, “All of the boys and all of the girls are beggin’ to, if you seek Amy.” The last four words serve as a pun on the spelling of a common obscenity, and it dates back at least to James Joyce’s Ulysses, which includes a poem with the lines “If you see kay / Tell him he may.” In the new version of the song, Spears sings, “If you see Amy.”

Nevat is a very unique, soft-ripened sheep’s milk cheese invented and produced by Josep of Can Pujol. From the heart of the mountains near Barcelona, he makes the cheese using only his and neighboring herders’ fresh same-day milk. Nevat’s rind is treated with a penicillin mold, enabling a beautiful bloomy white rind that transforms the curd. As it matures, it softens from a semisoft texture. Delicate and sweet with a slight tang, Nevat means snowed in Catalan. This sheep’s milk version is exclusive to Forever Cheese. 2/5# (preorder only) Click for Nutritional Info

Orange-Ricotta Pancakes • Stephie1 Posted: 01/28/09 Worthy of a Special Occasion Very fluffy and melt-in-your mouth. They had a good flavor and the recipe uses no fat or oils. However, they didn't really fill me up, so you need some protein or fruit to make them a complete breakfast. Good use of leftover ricotta. Make sure to stir after each batch because the heavier batter sinks to the bottom and the last pancakes were flat. • ccchef Posted: 04/04/10 Worthy of a Special Occasion The batter was very thick. My pancakes were very tall and dark brown on the outside, but the middles were still uncooked. The first ones I did somewhere between medium and medium high heat.

The coalition of PSD and CDS won the elections but failed to win a majority in parliament. The ruling coalition received 38.34% against 32.38% for the Socialists.

5 game franchises that deserve the MMO treatment [Continued] Page 6 1) Grand Theft Auto  C'mon now, you must've known this was coming. Rockstar Games basically invented the "sandbox" style of video games with their classic series of crime thrillers, but the one aspect that's always been missing is a Liberty City teeming with actual players. The formula seems so simple to me. Players start off running petty missions for local thugs, before eventually earning a spot in one of the game's many crime syndicates, all entirely run by fellow players.  Maybe you'll be able to prove yourself as the best wheelman in town, a skilled assassin, or even a business genius who knows the right way to unload some illicit cargo. The only barrier to success is your own criminal cunning. Make the right friends and you could earn yourself a major role in the operations, or even become head of the family. Screw up enough missions, or make the wrong enemies, and you may find a player has put a hit out on your head. Honestly

YOU ARE HERE: LAT HomeCollectionsOscars Doing the new Oscar math Films that were long shots for best picture glory now might make the Academy Awards cut. June 25, 2009|Ben Fritz Doubling the number of best picture nominees completely changes the calculus for predicting which movies will have a shot at the top Oscar. It's tough to say how academy members will think about their expanded voting opportunities. Will they select more of the oh-so-serious adult dramas that have dominated the Oscars for the past few years, or will they expand their horizons to include more celebrated indies, mainstream tent poles and even -- dare we say it -- comedies? We know it's too early to make predictions, but with that in mind, here are five films that have just seen their chances at a best picture nomination go from "good" to "great," five independent or quirky films whose odds just got better and five crowd-friendly movies that might have a shot now: Leading contenders "The Informant" Steven Soderbergh directs Matt D

Mitt Romney has surged to a 4-percentage-point lead in 12 crucial swing states, largely because he has erased President Obama's lead among women voters, according to a USA Today/Gallup poll released Monday. The battle for women has been a major focus of both campaigns, and is expected to figure prominently in their closing arguments in Tuesday night's debate and in TV ads during the last three weeks before election day. As a group, women tend to wait longer than men to choose their candidates, which makes them — especially blue-collar "waitress moms" hit hard by the economy's troubles — a key swing vote. Women overwhelmingly backed Obama throughout the campaign, so why are they suddenly warming to Romney? Here, five theories: 1. Romney showed them he's not crazy Romney's "humor and authority" in the first presidential debate changed everything, says Tim Stanley at Britain's Telegraph.

Is there any special formula to calculate wheel diameter? share|improve this question 3 Answers 3 up vote 5 down vote accepted You could calculate the effective diameter by measuring rollout and dividing that number by pi. To measure the rollout start with your valve stem in the lowest possible position and make a mark on the floor next to the valve stem. Ride the bike one revolution until the valve stem is at the bottom of it's rotation again and make another mark on the floor. Measure the distance between the two marks to find the effective circumference. share|improve this answer Way to provide the physical/math answer and satisfy my math jones (see bicycles.stackexchange.com/questions/1549/…) –  Gary.Ray May 3 '11 at 19:50 This is actually the only accurate way to know.

Saturday, June 23, 2007 Why David Cameron Must Campaign FOR a Referendum and not AGAINST Europe Never one to undersell a story, EU Referendum's Richard North reckons that the result of the EU Summit is a coup d'etat in the making. His evidence is complicated but compelling. He concludes... In this presidency conclusion, however, the European Union – as represented by the European Council – is seeking to dictate to the member states what it shall (and shall not) include in a treaty (the text of which it has defined), effectively barring it from discussing anything else. If the member states accept this, they are effectively conceding that they are subordinate to the European Union, thereby acknowledging that the Union is the supreme power.This would represent a fundamental change in the relationship between the member states and the European Union, one not brought about by treaty, but by an informal de facto arrangement emanating from the European Council- setting an extremely dangerous precedent.Thus, Gordo

Friday, February 23, 2007 Make It Rain, But No Refunds By now, you've heard about Pacman Jones' adventures in a Las Vegas strip club this past weekend. I read this article over and over trying to sort out this bizarre story because it just made absolutely no sense. One sentence jumped out at me: Why were strippers fighting over money in the club? A strip club is not a lawless place. There are rules. There is code. Dancers do their work and collect their payment in orderly fashion. Something else must have jumped off for the environment in that club to get to that point. There was more to the wire story than met the eye. Pacman Jones is lying. So I convened a small panel of strip club "experts" and sources that were actually in Clubb Minxx at the time of the incident. There is an important back story that was not conveyed in the news stories. Let me break it down for you. Hopefully, this is less confusing than the wire stories.

The most recent incident had occurred on September 27, 2002, and was a close range daylight observation by his wife. The man said that he thought that I should be made aware of what was happening, but he strongly expressed that the identities of those involved, as well as the actual location of the sighting not be made public. I asked permission to come out to the sighting location to interview those involved, and search the area for evidence. I packed up my gear, and my wife Debbie and I responded immediately to the area. The incidents took place in Derry Township in Westmoreland County. It took some time to reach the location which was remote, and was made up of many acres of dense woods.

Tuesday, 20 December 2011 Dear Urban Outfitters... Dear Urban Outfitters, Lauren (or 'XL' to you) 1. I can confirm that Urban Outfitters sizing is just as skewed for the XS portion of the world. I speak from having bought a lovely polka dot dress in my wardrobe which I got without trying on due to assuming that my size would, y'know, fit. Alas it is £50 of unworn material, as it doesn't zip up at the front. It's just odd. The sizing across the high street has absolutely no relevance to girls in the real world. Don't even get me started on jeans and leggings, where every size 8 girl is assumed to have skinny giraffe legs. Drives me bonkers. 2. Maybe I'm cynical but I think this is a conscious decision by Urban Outfitters, American Apparel, Topshop and the other stores that do the same. They don't want fat girls wearing their clothes. That's what it comes down to. They want their brands associated with the most chic, hip, stylish women - and in our culture that means thin. You're righ

Reseña de álbum With guitarist Domenic Troiano out of the picture, the post-Joe Walsh James Gang was able to take their career off life support temporarily by adding guitarist Tommy Bolin beginning with this 1973 release. Having just dissolved his short-lived fusion band Energy, Bolin's creative playing injects a little Miles and Mahavishnu into the usually rocking Gang, most noticeably on "From Another Time." Staccato guitar lines and congas begin the song, an old-style James Gang boogie fills the middle, and then a sound effect explosion abruptly brings it all to a jarring, nonsensical close. It's all of the album's problems in a nutshell since the knotty and the normal are at odds throughout, although there are many moments to remember. Even if

How Much Too Feed Of Different Meats?

If not what else can I add that can be cheaply found at supermarket? I'd prefer something with a good meat/bone ratio so that I don't have to worry about following with something more meaty or boney.

With plenty of humorous moments, a delightful art style and satisfying battle system, Dream Team will quench anyone's thirst for a charming RPG to play on the go. by Travis Sokolowski Spending fifty hours playing an RPG on the 3DS was something I never anticipated on doing. Using up such a large amount of time is usually restricted to console gaming for me, but that was until I played Mario & Luigi: Dream Team. The length of Mario and Luigi's latest adventure allows you take in most of the main content but it also creates the game's biggest downfall in the process.

Friday, September 02, 2011 Obama must realize he's in real trouble; he's made the enviroweenies mad at him: The White House announced Friday that it is shelving a major planned Environmental Protection Agency regulation that would have tightened smog standards, dealing a huge blow to environmentalists that had pushed the Obama administration to resist industry pressure to abandon the regulation. In a statement, President Obama said that the rule is being shelved because he is wary of imposing regulatory burdens during the economic recovery. Translation: a bunch of states like Texas looked at what this rule would do to power generation and the costs it would impose- which would include dead bodies in heat and cold waves- and raised three levels of bloody hell. And a bunch of Democrats in those states probably pointed out "You let this go through and you're through." One of the pieces of bullshit in this was the EPA claiming 'health benefits' would pay for the costs: While EPA estimated that the strictest s

10 Reasons Why Homeowners Have an Edge on Renters businesswoman holding a mini... ShutterstockThe homeownership rate remains relatively low. By Kimberly Palmer Homebuying has earned a bad rap in recent years: The subprime mortgage crisis and ensuing economic meltdown left many homeowners underwater, unable to pay their mortgage and even facing foreclosure. Homeownership rates fell throughout the recession and got down to about 65 percent, compared with almost 70 percent before the recession, according to the Census Bureau. While record low interest rates helped entice homebuyers, the bureau reports that the homeownership rate remains relatively low, at 65.2 percent in the fourth quarter of 2013. If you're among those struggling to decide whether to buy versus rent, consider these 10 reasons to take the plunge into homeownership: 1. You can ramp up energy efficiency. Energy-efficient improvements, from adding insulation to upgrading your air-conditioning unit, can reduce your monthly utility bill, says Jan

Take the 2-minute tour × In Romans 7:19, Paul says this: Is Paul talking about "doing evil" in his present, converted state, or in his past, unconverted state, or is this verse to be interpreted in some other way? share|improve this question add comment 4 Answers General Context The answer to this depends on understanding the flow of argument of Romans. Too often I think we approach Romans with a hermeneutic governed by the section breaks, but the flow is extremely important. Paul is talking about sin in his present state. In chapter 6, he has discussed the death of sin (e.g. verse 1); in early 7, he has used the metaphor of marriage to describe being dead to it (vv. 1-6); in 8, he discusses living by the power of the Holy Spirit, which is the solution to the distress of 7. Chapters 7 and 8 are actually simultaneous (an aspect of the paradox theologians call the "already/but not yet"); they are two sides of the same coin which result from 5 and 6. To conclude that 7 is about his former sin is to damag

A shot clock in high school basketball would speed up the game Email the author on March 08, 2010 at 10:55 AM, updated March 08, 2010 at 4:31 PM Joseph Giangiobbe and Nick PappasNotre Dame's Joe Giangiobbe goes against Northern Lehigh's Nick Pappas during play in the Colonial League Boy's basketball Championships at Freedom High School. Without a shot clock, each possession becomes invaluable in the four-minute overtime periods. Teams generally tend to hold the ball for long periods unless they get a wide open layup. This slows the game down and, to some extent, becomes boring. Here's a compromise. How about enforcing some sort of shot clock (even if its 60 seconds, although 30 would be better) for the last four minutes of regulation and any ensuing overtime periods? This would increase the tempo of the game and make it more exciting for the fans. One last thing to remember, though: it takes a skilled team with good ball-handlers to be able to hold the ball against good pressure. This is something that o

Take the tour × I am looking for a formula for the maximal order of an element in GL(n,p), where p is prime. I recall seeing such a formula in a paper from the mid- or early 20th century, but could not find again this reference. I will be grateful for any hint. share|improve this question add comment 1 Answer Well, by Hamilton--Cayley, each matrix $A\in {\rm GL}(n,p)$ generates an at most $n$-dimensional subalgebra ${\mathbb F}_p[A]\subseteq M(n,p)$ thus containing at most $p^n-1$ nonzero elements. Hence the order of $A$ cannot exceed $p^n-1$. On the other hand, consider a degree $n$ monic polynomial $P_n$ whose root is a generator $\xi$ of ${\mathbb F}_{p^n}^*$. Then a matrix with $P_n$ as its characteristic polynomial has order at least $p^n-1$ since $\xi$ is its eigenvalue. ADDENDUM. if you wish the order to be the power of $p$, then the answer is $d=p^{\lceil \log_p n\rceil}$. Since the order of $A$ is divisible by the multiplicative orders of its eigenvalues, all the eigenvalues should be $1$. Hen

Mike Tyson's new show on Animal Planet, Taking On Tyson, revolves around the former boxer's introduction to the sport of racing homing pigeons. Viewers get a glimpse of a fascinating world, in which birds are treated like athletes — carefully trained, fed only the best birdseed and vitamins, prized for their performance. There's definitely something different about people who like birds. Bird people can't (usually?) cuddle or snuggle with their pet at night like dog people and cat people. There's no moving-together-as-one-powerful-being experience, like horse people have. Birds — whether they be sparrows or eagles — are delicate. And most of them do what people, cats, dogs and horses cannot: Fly. Bird people tend to have their eyes on the sky. There are many different racing clubs in the New York area, but Tyson is a newcomer to the competition. That said, his involvement with birds has been almost life-long. As a kid growing up in Brooklyn, he was impoverished, bullied incessantly and surrounded by drugs an

Paul Nevins Paul Nevins Boston, Massachusetts, USA October 29 Paul Nevins is the author of "The Politics of Selfishness: How John Locke’s Legacy Is Paralyzing America "(Greenwood /Praeger/ABC-CLIO). The book examines American culture from the perspective of political theory. The questions asked include: Are the political and legal systems of this country on the verge of implosion? Why can’t self-regulation of the market economy work? Why are American labor unions and employees virtually powerless to effect change in the workplace? Why has economic inequality continued to grow and poverty become intractable in the United States? Why do lobbyists and special interests now exercise disproportionate influence over public policy? Why is America’s public education system dysfunctional and why does it fail to educate our citizens in contrast to Western Europe? Why is lawlessness so pervasive in this country? The "Politics of Selfishness" directly addresses a number of the questions these questions. The book attempt
