Top 5 Facebook Moments Of The Week | 8 Jul – 14 Jul I’d like to call this a typical week on our Facebook page but it wasn’t really. Lots of comments and lots of trolling were a feature of this week and that’s pretty cool. A lot of that is down to an all-new Cavism making use of fresh source material i.e. Caveshen’s new profile picture. It made us laugh and if you don’t then you have no soul. There I said it. Okay, this week’s Facebook 5, here it is. 3 — Ladders Are So Three Centuries Ago I wouldn’t call Ezio a hipster but he certainly does exude this impossibly cool aura and did add milk and sugar to coffee before it was cool. He also deemed ladders outdated or just too mainstream for his liking. 2 — Don’t Fuck With Liam Neeson So, this post lists a whole lot of things about Liam Neeson and long story short, don’t fuck with him and certainly don’t mess with his family. You definitely don’t want to be kidnapping his daughter for a second time either because he’s got a very particular set of skill… you know where this is going. 1 — Girls & Sport Girls aren’t generally big fans of sport and it easily bores them although surely they’d get excited by all the men running up and down. Although, the large, sweaty black men may bring back repressed memories of that one time they were locked up.

1. Introduction =============== Some rare malignant tumors present clinical characteristics and bone marrow aspirate or biopsy morphology similar to that of acute leukemia. Ewing sarcoma (ES),^\[[@R1],[@R2]\]^ medulloblastoma,^\[[@R3]\]^ neuroblastoma,^\[[@R4]\]^ anaplastic oligodendroglioma,^\[[@R5]\]^ rhabdomyosarcoma, ^\[[@R6]\]^ and neuroendocrine tumors have been reported to exhibit acute leukemia-like morphology in bone marrow aspirate samples after metastasizing to the bone marrow. Among these tumors, ES is the second most common primary malignant tumor of the bone, which mainly affects young patients of 5 to 20 years of age.^\[[@R7]\]^ ES is a highly aggressive small round blue cell tumor that generally has extremely poor prognosis; the most common primary tumor sites are the pelvis, femur, and rib, yet 25% of tumors occur in soft tissue rather than bone.^\[[@R8]\]^ It is characterized by the proliferation of small round cells, and the most common symptoms of ES are tumor mass formation, induration, pain, swelling, venous dilation, and hyperemia. Radiographic signs of ES are permeative and infiltrative destruction of the affected bone, accompanied by periosteal reaction, such as onion skin-like appearance and Codman triangle, or calcified spicule.^\[[@R9]\]^ Clinically, approximately 25% of patients show evidence of metastasis at diagnosis, whereby the ES has usually migrated and disseminated to other organs predominantly via the blood, and where the most common sites of metastases are lungs, bones, and bone marrow.^\[[@R8],[@R10]\]^ However, advances in management techniques have resulted in significantly improved rates of survival in patients with ES. Meanwhile, second malignant tumor arising after bone treated at chemotherapy in patients with ES has been paid more attention.^\[[@R11]\]^ Herein, we report an unusual case of a child diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) arising after treatment of ES. In this case, abnormal blast-like cells were observed in a bone marrow sample and peripheral blood by ordinary optical microscopy. Because the morphology of blast-like tumor cells is similar to the small round tumor cells with little cytoplasm, it is easily misdiagnosed as bone marrow metastasis of ES. 2. Case report ============== A 5-year-old boy was admitted to our hospital in December 2014 because of pains in his left leg without obvious inducement and lameness worsening with walking over a 2-month period. General examination was undertaken and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan revealed chronic suppurative osteomyelitis in both legs (Fig. [1](#F1){ref-type="fig"}). Subsequently, the patient underwent chronic osteomyelitis debridement and catheter drainage of his left tibia in January 2015. Pathological examination of the debridement sample indicated left tibia ash black tissue at a size of 1.0 × 0.8 × 0.2 cm, and microscopic examination showed uniform small round cells with scanty cytoplasm (Fig. [2](#F2){ref-type="fig"}). Furthermore, Ki-67 expression was approximately 80%. Immunohistochemical examination revealed that tumor cells were positive for Fli-1, CD99 and CD34, and were negative for CD1a, CD3, CD10, CD15, CD19, CD20, CD56, CD57, CD79a, CD117, D2, MPO, CgA, and Syn, which allowed us to determine that his condition was primarily ES. Subsequently, this patient underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy with 2 cycles of VAC (vincristine 1 mg/m^2^, adriamycin 50 mg/m^2^, cyclophosphamide 800 mg/m^2^) and 2 cycles of IE (ifosfamide 1.2 g/m^2^, etoposide 70 mg/m^2^, mesna 1.2 g/m^2^) regimens up to April 2015. After chemotherapy, the pain in the left leg disappeared and the patient was discharged from the hospital without further treatment. {#F1} {#F2} When the patient came back to the hospital 1 year later for re-examination, he seemed to be in good spirits, eating regularly, and without significant changes in body weight other than normal growth for a child. Complete blood count results were as follows: white blood cell counts of 4.11 × 10^9^/L, red blood cell counts of 4.18 × 10^12^/L, hemoglobin decreased to 92.3 g/L, and platelet counts decreased to 78.10 × 10^9^/L with 24% blast-like cells found in a peripheral blood smear (Fig. [3](#F3){ref-type="fig"}A). This suggested that the patient should undergo bone marrow aspiration and biopsy. The bone marrow aspirate results showed 97.5% blast-like cells, which were small in size with 1 to 3 nucleoli in the nucleus. Minimal cytoplasm, vacuolation, irregular microspikes, or pseudopodia at the edge of the cytoplasm were observed, similar to that observed in cases of ES (Fig. [3](#F3){ref-type="fig"}B). These cells were negative for peroxidase. Periodic acid-Schiff staining showed strongly positive granular (Fig. [3](#F3){ref-type="fig"}C). The bone marrow biopsy (easily aspirated) revealed nucleated cells with marked proliferation and activity, and 90% blast-like cells (Fig. [4](#F4){ref-type="fig"}A). Ki-67 expression was approximately 50%. Immunohistochemistry of the bone marrow biopsy revealed that the blast-like cells were positive for CD10, CD34, and CD99 (Fig. [4](#F4){ref-type="fig"}B), and were negative for CD2, CD3, CD20, CD38, CD117, and CD138. In our case, the initial diagnosis was bone marrow metastasis of ES; however, further immunohistochemistry revealed positive staining for TdT (Fig. [4](#F4){ref-type="fig"}C) and PAX5 and negative for NSE. Therefore, we could exclude the possibility of bone marrow metastasis of ES, and a diagnosis of ALL arising after treatment of ES was established. The patient\'s mother signed informed consent and this study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University. {#F3} {#F4} 3. Discussion ============= Advances in treatment have resulted in more and more long-time survivor of ES during the decades. Recently, large cohort studies of treated patients with ES have shown an increased risk of second malignancies.^\[[@R11],[@R12]\]^ Paulussen et al^\[[@R12]\]^ reported that 6 of 690 patients with ES have developed second cancer, including solid tumours and haematopoietic neoplasms. Bacci et al^\[[@R11]\]^ also expressed that 14 of 597 patients with ES developed second malignancies. These second malignancies comprised 8 radiation-induced osteosarcomas, 3 acute leukemias, and 3 carcinomas.^\[[@R11]\]^ It has been demonstrated that secondary haematopoietic neoplasms were closely related to chemotherapy, especially the use of alkylating agents, topoisomerase II inhibitors.^\[[@R13]\]^ In our case, the patient underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy with 2 cycles of VAC and 2 cycles of IE regimens after the initial diagnosis of ES. Sixteen months later, when bone marrow is invaded, not only bone marrow metastasis of ES, but second malignancy arising after treatment of ES should be also considered. Both ALL and ES are small round cell tumors; it is difficult to differential diagnose them because of overlapping clinical, radiographic, histologic, and immunophenotypic features. Currently, flow cytometry is used to detect tumor cells for bone marrow involvement of ES patients' blood and bone marrow because of the CD99^+^ CD45^-^ profile. Other tumors, such as ALL and lymphoma, also express high levels of surface CD99,^\[[@R14],[@R15]\]^ which express CD45 at the same time, thereby contributing to differentiate ES from other malignancies.^\[[@R16]\]^ Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) has also been used to detect tumor cells for bone marrow involvement of ES patients' blood and bone marrow. This often reveals specific chromosomal translocations including t (11;22)(q24;q12) translocation resulting in the *EWS-FLI1* fusion gene, which is not expressed in normal cells.^\[[@R17],[@R18]\]^ While these methods have contributed to expedited diagnoses, they may actually delay diagnosis because of inconclusive results, even in experienced medical centers. Because of this, an open biopsy is still considered the gold standard for diagnosis of sarcoma in many specialized sarcoma centers. In the present case, the morphology of abnormal blast-like cells of ALL in peripheral blood and bone marrow is similar to that observed in cases of bone marrow metastasis of ES, as previous literature by Worcester and Vasef.^\[[@R19]\]^ ALL arising after the treatment of ES is easily misdiagnosed as bone marrow metastasis of ES, thus it is critical to differentiate ALL from ES. Furthermore, both ALL and ES tumor cells contain abundant glycogen levels, and periodic acid-Schiff-positive granules are observed in their cytoplasm. Immunohistochemistry is a reliable method to differentiate the 2 diseases, but incomplete immunohistochemical markers can induce pathological doctors to misdiagnose. Preliminary immunohistochemistry of the bone marrow biopsy revealed that the blast-like cells were positive for CD10, CD34, and CD99, and were negative for CD2, CD3, CD20, CD38, CD117, and CD138. Lucas et al^\[[@R20]\]^ have reported that all lymphomas and leukemias were positive for TdT compared with none of the ES; and none of the ES expressed other lymphocytic markers, such as PAX5. In our case, the initial diagnosis was bone marrow metastasis of ES, whereas additional immunohistochemistry revealed positive staining for PAX5 and TdT and negative for NSE. Consequently, the definite diagnosis of the disease is ALL arising after treatment of ES instead of bone marrow metastasis of ES. In summary, our case presented with ALL arising after treatment of ES. Accordingly, in clinical practice, we should pay attentions to discovering abnormal cells in peripheral blood smears when there is an abnormality in peripheral blood. If blast-like cells are observed in bone marrow samples, we cannot immediately diagnose bone marrow metastasis of ES. The final diagnosis should depend on bone marrow aspiration smear, bone marrow biopsy, immunohistochemistry, and analysis of the medical history. When necessary, it is needed to do cytogenetic and molecular analysis for differential diagnosis. We express our gratitude to the patient\'s mother, who kindly agreed for this case to be presented in this paper.

Fun fact: 76% of people skip the opening blurb on the top of mock drafts and skim down till they find their favorite team. 87% of writers choose a safe option so they can seem knowledgeable, advance their careers, and rack up a comfortable 401k. For the writer, the upside is simple. It keeps their partner happy (notice how I didn’t say wife cause I’m progressive), keeps dinner on the table, and once they inevitably kick the bucket they’ll have $ in their dusty pockets for their children to steal. It’s a simple life, but ultimately, in the end… they’re forgotten. Because they refused to take risks in their mock drafts, and refused to let it fly. Well my fellow readers, I refuse to succumb to conformity’s filthy grasp. I’ve had enough of these safe mocks, it’s time to roll the dice and add more synonyms for “roll the dice”. So enough of the foreplay, let’s just get to the full penetration. 2020 NFL MOCK: Picks 1-16 Bengals: Team Needs (QB, fuck the rest) Joe Burrow, QB, LSU Oh was pouring a decade into a league average QB a mistake? Was chaining your entire franchise to Marvin Lewis a mistake? Fear not, this pick should be unmistakable. Joe smokes cigars and tosses 6pt bombs. Enjoy Cinci, your scarlet haired mistake is out the door. Joe fucks Skinheads: Team Needs (OL, WR, TE, CB, EDGE, a new name+logo) Chase Young, EDGE, Ohio State. Possible they trade this pick and select Okudah later. Chase is straight up a God who can sack the Corona virus if he wanted to. If anyone reads this years down the line that reference will seem dated, so here’s one that’s timeless. Chase Young could sack Joe Exotic harder than Travis ever could. There, that’ll age like fine wine. Chase gets bonus points cause he’s adorable Lions: Team Needs (CB, DL, OL, RB, Calvin Johnson) Jeff Okudahhhhh, CB, Ohio State. This pick will be made later in the draft but I’m not gonna waste time predicting trades. This man is the next Revis, you heard it here first. If he turns out as a bust I will name my firstborn Rumpleredskin. Fun fact: this was the first time on the internet that word was ever typed. A little history for ya. Jeff out here looking like a fetus NY Football Giants: Team Needs (OT, Edge, S, WR, QB 🙂 Tristan Wirfs, OL, Iowa. Best o lineman in the draft. Maybe they’ll be safe and do Simmons, but at that point just take Devin Bush in 2019 and Tua in 2020. Giants are a strange team to be honest, after last year’s draft predicting what they’ll do is a waste of time but here we are. It’s time for Giants fans to whipe the shame of Ereck Flowers off their Big Blue balls and roll with the safest pick in the draft. Look he can make his muscles look bigger by flexing them. Find me someone else who can do that. Sidenote, I’m dissapointed the word “that” couldn’t fit on the top line so I added this. Dolphins: Team Needs (QB, rest don’t matter for now) Justin Herbert, QB, Oregon. A team (Chargers or Raiders) is gonna trade ahead and take Tua, and Phins fans will forever wonder why they didn’t use their treasure trove of picks to trade up for the Alabamian. Confirmation bias will distort their feeble minds into thinking it was the right move. They will tout Tua’s bad health and Herbert’s stellar statistics. They will ignore Justin’s lack of competition and absolute trash performances when he faced NFL level defensive pressure. But it’s okay cause they have 14 picks. Have you heard they have 14 picks? I don’t think it’s been said enough by Dolphins fans how wonderful it is that they have 14 picks. Herbert’s rookie year line: 2,752 passing yards, 15 tds, 5 wins, Ryan Fitzpatrick breathing down his neck, and 14 picks. Justin and Dolphins fans being sad that I roasted them. The truth is I’m a jealous Jets fan scared that your future is brighter than ours. And that this man will be the next Tom Brady who torments me for the next 20 years. But you will never see it because it’s in the caption for a picture Chargers: Team Needs (QB, OT) Tua, QB, Alabama. Gives Tyrod a year to start and let Tua heal, and builds trade value for when the Steelers ship a 3rd and 5th for him in 2021. Dolphins are idiots Tua is a bit slow so he has to wear this helmet when he does interviews Panthers: Team Needs (DL, OL, CB) Derrick Brown, DL, Auburn. Most obvious pick in the draft after #1 Derrick Brown (#5) with friend (#43) riding his coattails and being included in a picture he will inevitably be photo-shopped out of. Including him here because I respect the hustle. Cardinals: Team Needs (CB, OL, EDGE) Jedrick Willis, OL, Alabama. So before you get too upset, someone is gonna trade up for Simmons here, if not already. Cards should protect Murray and pair with Humphries on the line. Maybe they just go BPA and take Simmons, but O-Line is premium. For Kliff and the Arizona faithful, their entire future rests on a talented, scrambling, and undersized athlete who probably should have played baseball for the sake of his life expectancy. Insert Jedrick Willis to help fix that issue and hopefully give Mr. Murray a few more years to push the grandkids on the swings. Okay this is getting dark, I love the Cardinals this year, 10-6. Try not to get too aroused Jags: Team Needs (CB, DL, EDGE, a time machine to go back in time and untrade Calais) CJ Henderson, CB, Florida. Another trade back selection, but welcome to the new NFL. Ramsey and AJ Bouye are out the door, you think Rashaad Melvin is gonna solve that? Child please This was High School CJ. Back when he was voted most likely to be selected #9 by the Jacksonville Jaguars. Poor kid. Browns: Team Needs (OL, S, LB, DL) Isaiah Simmons, LB/S, Clemson. Okay so he’s not gonna be here, it’s gonna happen earlier with another team. But if he did fall??? Jesus christ what a perfect fit. Instead, they’ll take Becton and protect their narcissistic false prophet for a Quarterback and continue down the sunk hole fallacy until reality bites them in the face and they stop settling for sizzle over substance. Run on sentence, ask me if I care. Will he be asked to join the Head and Shoulder’s franchise as their new young and hip spokesperson to pair with Mahomes and Polamalu? Nope, probably not. Jets: Team Needs (WR, EDGE, OT, CB) Mekhi Becton, OL, Louisville. Was tempted to put Kinlaw because the Jets have a “defensive line BPA till I die” mindset that is deprived of an ounce of cognitive capacity in their skulls. As a Jet fan I can say this, you can’t. Alas, I digress. Joe Douglas knows O-Lineman, and he should know Sam Darnold is our future. Protect it and let’s add our next D’Brickashaw. And yes that is correct spelling. He would probably stop sweating if he took his sweatshirt off. What is he hiding under there? Raiders: Team Needs (WR, QB, CB) Jordan Love, QB, Utah. And the crowd goes wild… Okay fine I’ll explain. Raiders are gonna trade back, but at some point Love is gonna be on this team. Gruden is weird as fuck, so are the Raiders. He’s on a 10 year deal, you think he’s not gonna pick his own QB? Look, Carr is good, at times great. But he’s not Gruden’s, these men have egos and want credit for every win they get. Love will do that, even if he never will be better than Carr. And listen to me when I say this, Love will NEVER be as good as Carr. He’s gonna throw 20+ ints in his first year as a starter, Gruden will be fired until the next savior can be chosen. Should’ve waited another year Chucky. Kevin Love’s grandfather 49ers: Team Needs (WR, OL, S, QB 🙂 Jerry Jeudy, WR, Alabama. Yup the team that just went to the Super Bowl gets a bonafide WR1 on day one. This one is obvious, so allow me to just say Jimmy G is a waste of time and as long as he’s the 49ers QB they will never win a superbowl. That’s right, they’re gonna waste an elite defense, run game, and Jerry Jeudy’s youth trotting out a pretty boy who Bill knew couldn’t hold Brady’s jockstrap. Jeudy went on to drop both of these cleats. Sad. Tampa Brady Bunch: Team Needs (OT, RB, DL) Andrew Thomas, OL, Georgia. Look, Tom Brady is old as dirt. 43 years old, back in 1977 when Gerald Ford was frolicking around being a terrible president little Tommy was still in diapers. When Tom was 7, the Seat Belt Law was passed mandating drivers to wear flimsy straps that buckled into a plastic holster. A wild concept at the time for some reason. Well, here we are in 2020. Tom Brady had grown up during a time in the NFL where concussions were headaches and fractures were bruises, but no longer can that stand. Like the Seat Belt legislation in 1984, it’s time to evolve, it’s time to protect. Andrew Thomas is gonna be a 6’5 320 pile of blubber that protects Tom from his next collision. Ladies and Gentleman, it’s time to pass the Andrew Thomas act of 2020 so Tom Brady can finally pass again. He could probably eat me if he wanted. The real question is, what would it take for us to reach that level? Would it take a plane crash on a deserted island with no food? If I was covered in schezwan sauce? If I compared him to a seat belt? Denver Broncos: Team Needs (WR, OL, a Pulse) CeeDee Lamb, WR, Oklahoma The Denver Broncos are boring. It’s sad to say, as the years of Tebow, Recieving icons, Godtier Defenses, and Peyton Frickin Manning have faded, so too has my interest in the Denver Broncos. Knowshon Moreno is not walking through that door folks, Rolls Royce Freeman ain’t no pre ACL tear Boobie Miles. Broncos offense is anemic, iron deficient, and anorexic as hell. CeeDee Lamb can change all of this, John Elway has been gifted a lollypop breadbasket dime in the endzone with this selection. Unlike every other Bronco receiver last season, let’s see if Elway actually catches it. And yes I’m aware Courtland Sutton exists, but this isn’t fantasy football. Empty stats don’t win football games. Forewarning: I forgot about Courtland Sutton while writing the monologue above. I tried to mention him at the end to sound cool, but now I feel like an idiot. Here’s CeeDee running to distract you from my hapless gaff. Atlanta Falcons: Team Needs (DB, LB, DL) Jayvon Kinlaw, DT, South Carolina Don’t be too upset Kinlaw, he may have slid far steeper than most predict, but at least he gets sexy uniforms, a dome stadium, and a competent organization. Dan Quinn, for those with dementia, was the defensive coordinator for the Legion of Boom era Seattle Seahawks. And yes, during those years everyone clamored over the Sherman, Chancellor, and Thomas contingent. Some even fawned over the Bobby Wagner, KJ Wright, and Malcolm Smiths of the world. You wanna know why those men succeeded? Why teams still passed and lobbed interceptions left and right against these trash talking gladiators and ivy leaguers? It’s because of 6-7 Tony McDaniel and 6-1, 310 lb Butterball Brandon Mebane. Teams could NOT RUN THE BALL against this defensive tackle duo, and no one cared to talk about it. It just happened, and Skip Bayless and Stephen A Smith distracted you from it. And you ate it up, don’t even deny it ya jabroni. Jayvon Kinlaw is like if you combined the best bits of Tony McDaniel’s size and Brandon Mebane’s force, stole a vile of Aaron Donald’s pass rushing DNA, and injected this ill fated creature with steroids and swagger. You wanna fix the Falcons? Start with Kinlaw. You seeing this Tristan??? You ain’t special.

15 Comments lowlyJanuary 31, 2012 Why is there a gun in the background? Ole douche pulled a Gingrich and dumped his gun related advertisers for the Fox contract. One of those “Yeah, we grew with y0u, but we don’t need you anymore. So, don’t let the door hit you in the ass.” deals. I personally hate it when Burt starts yelling “We rollin’! Blahbitty blahbitty”. If you’ve trained all your life to fight and you’re not ready, 30 seconds of this guy screamin’ ain’t gonna get you there. He should at least ask if you want yellin’ or no yellin’. oooo damn! that booty WAS pretty impressive. let’s see…trying to recall, the guys (Randy and Jon) seemed nervous. I’ve seen and heard tape and commentary from both plenty of times, and they’re always smooth. During the live broadcast on FOX, I noticed Jon especially was stuttering and tripping over his words a lot. They must have realized what a big deal it was. What else….Bisping is becoming a top notch fighter in my eyes. I not only feel like he won his fight and got totally robbed, but he didn’t even act like a douche about it. Good for him. It took BJ a long time to grow out of that phase, but once he did, he was not only a better fighter but a better person. Oh, and Rashad! I was so impressed. He looked awesome. Before this fight, I kinda felt like his thunder might have been stolen. But, now it would seem the Jones fight isn’t as cut and dry as it might initially appear. I realize Jones will come in as a heavy favorite, and will likely be my pick, but Shad just might have somethin for him. Since the Machida fight we learned Rashad is far from invincible, but he has shown excellent game planning in every fight since then. Being humbled can do wonders.

In vitro study of LDL transport under pressurized (convective) conditions. It is difficult to assess the transport pathways that carry low-density lipoprotein (LDL) into the artery wall in vivo, and there has been no previous in vitro study that has examined transendothelial transport under physiologically relevant pressurized (convective) conditions. Therefore, we measured water, albumin, and LDL fluxes across bovine aortic endothelial cell (BAEC) monolayers in vitro and determined the relative contributions of vesicles, paracellular transport through "breaks" in the tight junction, and "leaky" junctions associated with dying or dividing cells. Our results show that leaky junctions are the dominant pathway for LDL transport (>90%) under convective conditions and that albumin also has a significant component of transport through leaky junctions (44%). Transcellular transport of LDL by receptor-mediated processes makes a minor contribution (<10%) to overall transport under convective conditions.

Musée d'Art Juif The Musée d'Art Juif was a private museum of Jewish art located at 42, rue des Saules, in the 18th arrondissement of Paris, France. The nearest Paris Métro station is Lamarck – Caulaincourt on Line 12. The museum was established in 1948 in the Montmartre district of Paris as an homage to the Jewish culture destroyed by the Holocaust. Its first collections were religious objects donated in 1951 by the Jewish Restitution Successor Organization, and subsequently a document collection focusing on European synagogue architecture. Marie Chabchay, the museum's first curator, embarked on building up a collection of graphic works by Russian, German, and Parisian artists. The museum contains twelve rooms with collections including a reconstructed synagogue and synagogue models, ethnological objects, paintings, sculptures, and tomb stones from Prague. In 1998, major portions of its collection were moved to the new Musée d'Art et d'Histoire du Judaïsme in the 3rd arrondissement of Paris.

RZA- Robert Fitzgerald Diggs, better known by his stage name RZA , is a top American rapper, record producer, musician, actor, filmmaker and author. RZA is a prominent figure in hip hop and the de facto leader of the Wu-Tang Clan. He has produced almost all of Wu-Tang Clan’s albums as well as many Wu-Tang solo and affiliate projects. (Wikileaks) RZA praised Trump in a recent interview and admitted he’s a FOX News fan. The black conservatives are coming out of the closet. The Pitchfork reported: Wu-Tang Clan’s RZA and Interpol’s Paul Banks have a new collaborative project called Banks & Steelz. Last month, they released their debut album, Anything But Words. Earlier today, Pitchfork Radio aired a conversation between the two recorded last week for a Talkhouse Music Podcast. And it was… something. During the course of a half-hour-long chat, RZA did the following: ** Praised a Donald Trump speech and said he “respects” Trump’s personality. (“To me, I don’t hear the ego. I’m like, ‘That’s New York, man.’ You could go to any pizzeria and talk to a guy like that, and you’re going to get the same thing!“) ** Said he liked watching Fox News (“they keep it gully!”) ** Appeared to defend Rodrigo Duterte, the President of the Philippines, for ordering suspects of drug crimes killed before trial (though he was not happy about Duterte calling President Obama a “son of a whore,” threatening, “Don’t you ever get the gall in your mouth and heart to call the President of The United States the son of a whore. Don’t never do that, kid. Come to my neighborhood, come to Staten Island with that.”) ** Discussed how much he likes Jessica Alba ** Revealed that he’s writing a new movie featuring a “racist redneck” character. TRENDING: Unhinged Quebec Woman Pascale Ferrier Identified as Suspect in Case of Ricin Letter Sent to Trump White House Mike Cernovich predicted this.

Reflection seismology finds use in geophysics, for example, to estimate properties of subsurface formations. As an example, reflection seismology may provide seismic data representing waves of elastic energy (e.g., as transmitted by P-waves and S-waves, in a frequency range of approximately 1 Hz to approximately 100 Hz). Seismic data may be processed and interpreted, for example, to understand better composition, fluid content, extent and geometry of subsurface rocks.

Is getting a programmable robotic arm worth it? I figure it would be a good hobby. I have a strong background in hydraulics/electronics, so would the programming part be hard to pick up?>also general robot thread >>7641118Not him but I program robotic welding arms which would be pretty similar to your pic. It has its own software which makes it really easy to create automated task, even moving it freely is like using a gamepad. >>7641100There's a dude over in >>>/diy/ (although I haven't been there for a while so things might have changed) who bought one for about $300, made some minor repairs to it and was using it to construct a sexbot with fleshlight and dildo attatchments it wasn't a small robot arm either, it was a big industrial 3-phase powered heavy duty one, and everyone was saying it's only a matter of time before it kills him somehow (those things can do serious damage if you get hit by one since they move deceptively fast and weigh a lot) >>7641100Do you have something specific in mind for it? Programming them isn't hard but cheap hobby ones can be shit and prone to breaking and retarded sensitivity. I've used cheapo ones that act a bit like a retard janking around, so if you wouldn't trust the task to a five year old then maybe the cheap arms aren't for you.

The huge selection of sexually explicit and breathtaking teen / young VR porn . Adorable, barely legal babe Cindy Shine looked amazing in her crop top and tight shorts as she sat and chatted with this guy while having some morning coffee. Cindy wanted to start his day with a smile, so she bent over and pulled her shorts down, letting him grab that tight ass then the fully shaved hottie pulled his shorts off and rubbed her smooth, bald pussy against his leg. With him holding her ass, she eased her fingers into her wet, tight pussy and gave him one hell of a hot show as she came hard while straddling him.

They should just do the event after all the major problems are fixed.

The present invention relates to a color display device for and a color display method of implementing a color image generation that is time-division driven. Color display devices, which implement a color display with an additive mixture of color stimuli according to a time difference color mixture, i.e., a time division driving system within a single dot, have recently received attention. In such color display devices, because one pixel becomes one picture element, there is an advantage in that a threefold resolution can be obtained compared to color display devices that implement a color mixture juxtaposition. One of the color display devices of the time division driving system such as described above, is known as a DMD projector which displays a color image by irradiating colored lights of R (Red), G (Green), and B (Blue) that are generated by a light from a white color light source being passed through a rotating color filter disk onto an array of a digital micro-mirror device arrays (DMD: e.g., a device developed by the Texas Instruments Incorporated. Ltd.) in a time sequence and by projecting the colored lights modulated/reflected with this DMD array onto a screen. Further, other than the above, there is a color liquid crystal display device and the likes in which the color light source for generating the colored lights of R, G, B source is arranged behind the liquid crystal panel that implements a black and white display.

Post navigation The EU Army What you will have with an EU army, if you get to the bones of it, is an army with the combined military power of Italy, France and Germany, to name the main players but including 20 odd others extra. It is not needed due to NATO, so you have to look at why the cunts want it. The Germans rule the eu. The Germans will be in control of this army. It will be an enormous structure to rival the US military in time. It will have laws enabling its deployment at short notice, or it would be useless. So what you have in essence is a huge military force in Central Europe, controlled by the Germans and yet under an EU flag and so isn’t answerable to German Parliament. This can be deployed by unelected EU officials on paper, so the people have no control. By Germany having financial control over the EU, they now have bought the loyalty of the rest of the EU. They have conquered Europe by financial means. The EU would like to expand fully into Russian territory. Hence the mess in Ukraine. Germany-expanding into Russia. Ring any bells? Take your seats for round 3. Just think about the republic army in the shit 2000’s Star Wars trilogy. Turned into storm troopers didn’t they? 28 thoughts on “The EU Army” They want an army because Juncker et. al. are bricking it that the penny will drop to the other EU countries who realise that the EU is just a bag of shite which exists purely to keep the greedy former bankers at the top and the pointless MEPs dipped in gravy on the way to a federal state that no one wants. So they need an army to defend themselves when the masses descend Bastille style on their ivory tower in Brussels. If it had just remained as the EEC and was all about trade no one would’ve given a fuck and remaining wouldn’t have been an issue but once some unelected quango cunts start to lord it over sovereign states, well it’s time for the gloves to come off. The fundimental problem with an EU army would be that if governed by the EU they would be very inefective off its own soil, think of the EU directives on right to life ect, be very difficult to operate under those terms, even harsh words could be banned. There was some EU cunt on the news the other day, he was something to do with immigration and was saying what a great success the EU immigration policy was. Obviously a delusional cunt. Anyway, what really struck me about the interview was when he was asked about Yugoslavia’s rejection of the immigrant quota. He said words to the effect that Europe had seen the results of nationalism in the past and we should learn those lessons from history. He went onto say that Europe could either become more united or else war would break out. Firstly, that is a false choice. War is not the inevitable outcome of the EU not becoming a supranational dictatorship. Secondly it tells of an EU ellite who will use an army to impose its will on any member state which refuses to comply with their edicts and use the excuse of fighting nationalism which they will conflate with facism. But we aren’t out are we, May and the EU are just stalling with all this ‘hard Brext’ ‘Soft Brexit’ fucking bullshit, they will just string it along until ‘I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here’ starts and the retdarded mind-controlled public will forget all about it. We have already seen the BBC pushing all these ‘Marmitegate’ stories and apocalyptic stories about rising food and drink prices, Typical stalling and fear based bullshit to get the plebs to beg to stay in the EU. The population is growing, with all these cunts coming in and all you old cunts still hanging around. So they have to expand Heathrow or some other Airport, now next time your taking off think of the poor cunts under you having to listen to your fucking Plane flying over their £300,000 + houses whilst having their Foie Gras on toast. Yeah your all excited going on holiday aren’t you, yet you don’t care about the people underneath you, so this is a cunting for the whinging rich cunts who live under the flight path, the cunts on the planes and the cunts who are expanding the Airport(s). Ps Gatwick is a fucking shithole. The whole thing is a cunt. Sometimes evil cunts slip through our net on account of receiving insufficient publicity for their cuntitude. Hopefully I can prevent a particularly nasty cunt from getting away with it with my nomination of Montana County District Judge John McKeon. A 40 year old defendant admitted raping his 12 year old daughter multiple times and his scumbag lawyers managed to negotiate a plea agreement of 25 years in prison in exchange for their client’s guilty plea. Now the judge could have ignored this and still imposed the minimum sentence for incestuous rape (100 years PLUS a fine of $50,000). However, this being Judge John McKeon, a cunt of unparalleled magnitude, he did indeed choose to ignore the 25 year sentence of the plea agreement, instead sentencing the rapist scum to… sixty days. Yup, sixty days. Not sixty years, sixty DAYS (of which the rapist cunt will serve just 43). At the very least, both judge and defendant should be stripped of their trousers and pants and immediately dropped into whichever maximum security unit houses America’s most dangerous sex offenders. Alfred Robens, aka Lord Robens, Baron Robens of Woldingham is a dead cunt and for all that is still a cunt. The bloody Mancunian died of pneumonia in Surrey (“To Chertsey my noble Lord!”). He should have been buried in slag heap slurry like the 116 children and 28 adults at Pantglas primary school in Aberfan. Not forgotten. Cunt. The BBC are still cunts. Never mind the ‘so called’ Isis shit, every time these scum are named. In case using ‘Islamic’ offends – hence the ‘so called’ bit. But the pits was yesterday on the Today programme. Some moslem cunt was wheeled out to explain why the governments anti radicalisation policy was oppressive or whatever. (we are being victimised) Humphreys was interviewing so I looked forward to a good old Humphries kebabing of the cunt when he made the usual claims – moslems not terrorists, killing of MP was terrorism, moslems peace loving, nothing to do with us, terrorists take many forms etc etc. – You know the words by heart now. And every one a self serving lie. But no. Humphries was strangely compliant with this barrage of untruthful shit. Failed to challenge in his usual combative style. I can only conclude that there is a BBC directive to bend over backwards to give a platform to this rubbish and that serious challenges are deemed Islamophobic. We are continuing to nurture the viper in our midst when we should be recognising it for what it is and our public broadcaster should be warning of the dangers. The BBC are a set of trendy cunts. They should make Corbyn Director General and be done with. Hopefully the ordinary folk of the residual EU states (who let’s face it couldn’t give a shit about the EU either – with possible exception of Belgium who have a lot to gain by this nouveau fascist state in terms of employment, etc.) decide to have a bit of uncivil unrest. The only cunts you see spouting off about the EU, immigration, etc., are the politicos or the joe public fucktard snowflakes which extol that mantra courtesy of the EU meejah collaborators such as the Al-Be-Be-Cerah. When you look at news channels hosted on YouTube (where free speech still has a modicum of exposure), when those teams interview French, German, Italian and Greek bods you get the odd one being in favour of the EU but the vast majority despise the cunts and are as concerned as we are (especially the Germans and Swedes) about the amount of power the EU has, immigration and Frau Merkels betrayal of her own people (and EU nations in general). That view is diametrically opposed to the view presented by the EU collaborator meejah where *everyone* loves the EU. Tell you now, if they held an EU wide vote on in or out I bet the cunts would get the shock of their lives – hence why they need an EU army and an EU Stasi to make sure dissenters are suppressed. And as a product of East Germany I’m sure Frau Merkel knows how to put a good Stasi together! So when ordinary folk’s views are being suppressed/oppressed will the likes of the Byron Burger SJW cunts and Lily Allen be campaigning on their behalf? No because they will be the EU pandering trustee ilk with a special armband who, with a mere point of a finger, can have some cunt frog marched off the street never to be seen again. That’s where this EU army is heading, to silence dissenters, and fuck all to do with keeping peace or protecting borders. Utter EU cunts! Protecting borders? The combined navies effort in the med, which was supposed to be putting an end to people trafficking, is operating as a free ferry service to any cunt who can float ten yards from Libya. Part of the problem, not the solution. The eu army would probably recruit heavily from the flotsam, as they wouldn’t give a rats arse about shooting dissenting Europeans…… Only one nation has been asked if they want in or out and they voted out. The worlds media react like people are delusional or racist for wanting out , yet nobody is asking the José bloggs or the Jan Smiths of Europe what way they would vote. In pretty sure the results would be the same throughout Europe, but i wouldn’t bet on the powers that be letting the racist little plebs votes count. All we need is a Europe where no one goes to war against each other coz no cuntry will be interfering in another cuntries way of life ,and just have an aagreement that we’re all chums without unelected super cunts swanning around like Caesar, ready to bash anyone who stands up for themselves. Being pro exit ( brexit is a shit word made up media cunts) should not make us pariahs ,this is our world , and as long as we don’t hurt or hold back good people , we should all be free to do what we want. Wasn’t that what Chuck Yeager saved us for……. It must seem obvious to anybody that wants to see that the krauts have had two goes at european domination by force. That didn’t work so they turned to economic means. Lo and behold the EU comes along and they grab their chance of jumping into the drivers seat and pointing it in the direction they want to go. I have been saying this for 30 years but am always met with a smile and “oh , you just don’t like foreigners” . Look at the facts of history you cunts. It’s happening. The krauts have an inbuilt need to be in control by whatever means. If anybody thinks the EU army is going to be anything but jerry controlled they are living in dreamland. Leave these cunts behind at the first opportunity. Invoke Article 50 today before we are dragged into this fuck up in the making. I’d like to give a fucking cunting to cancer tonight after finding and my friend and father in law has terminal cancer. Another of my great grumpy miserable cunts who are gonna be taken away from me. Sorry fellow cunts for the heavy subject but cancer is a good, especially when it happens to people who don’t deserve it, people with common sense fews and like a good cunting. I’m gonna get pist now, good health all fellow grumpy cunts, keep up the cunting!! The last time someone tried for a big European army was in the late 1930s and they really fucked it up. Could you imagine an army led by the likes of cunts Juncker, Merkel, Tusk and co. We the first thing they would do is invade the UK so the divisions from eastern europe (poland, romania etc) could all sign on for their unemployment cheque and free healthcare and then try to attack Russia but end up attacking pissy italy instead because its closer and the french cunts are all cunting cowards. They are all a bunch of pointless parasitic cunts who should have been drowned at birth.

Treaty of Copenhagen (1670) The Treaty of Copenhagen or Treaty of 1670 was a treaty of commerce and alliance signed on 11 July 1670, between King Christian V of Denmark and of Norway and King Charles II of England and of Scots. It was written in Latin. It was expanded the next day, 12 July 1670, with the Third Article concerning contraband amended and clarified by a declaration in French signed at Copenhagen on 4 July 1780. The terms of the treaty were later reaffirmed by the Treaty of Kiel, following the defeat of Denmark-Norway during the Napoleonic Wars. Among the treaty's principal effects was the security it provided for the resumption of the Danish colony on Saint Thomas in the Virgin Islands, which had previously been dispersed following repeated assaults by English privateers.

Y’all are the shit and a bitch shall join you to Blog for Choice post travel rant! Moving forward to vent about the travel-based bullshit this bitch caught whilst attempting to fly home from the NAPW Summit… A bitch arrived at Atlanta’s massive airport-like complex with bags properly packed and papers in order (Lawd, my ass thought I was in Casablanca for a wee second). The plane was late, but a bitch wasn’t worried because I have a two hour layover in Milwaukee (fantabulous cheese to be scored at the airport there, by the way). Anyhoo, the plane finally arrived and this bitch prepared to board. Oh but wait…hold on…Delta has overbooked the flight! Mercy, what evah will they do? Why, they’ll make an announcement promising Delta rewards (as if) and hotel vouchers (fuck that, a bitch has a sorta-beagle waiting at home) and all manner of “please allow us to bump you because we overbook every fucking flight out of Atlanta like it’s a commandment from a wrathful travel Gawd”. Now keep in mind that the plane was already late…and was only made later while the gate attendant begged someone to give up their seat because airlines can get away with the kind of shit other bitnesses can’t…like falsely advertising that they have a produce (the fucking seat) when they are already out of it. This begging went on and on and was joined by other gate-based begging because…well, over-booking is a commandment from the Delta travel Gawd. Blink. Finally the chorus of begging stopped…the begged for people stepped up and the travel Gawd was pleased with the quality of the sacrifice thus the masses were allowed to board! The flight was uneventful…a bitch caught a nap…and then woke up, checked my watch and realized that we were really pushing it for me to make my connection. Mercy…but what can you do? This bitch isn’t one to fuss about the unavoidable…even though most of the delay would have been avoidable if Delta were such a greedy little shit. We landed at 6:50 pm…my plane was scheduled to take off at 7:05 pm just two gates down…we deplaned at 7pm…and the gate was closed, though the plane to St. Louis was still there to mock a bitch. And I mean CLOSED…not a soul in sight…no gate attendants to be found…SHUT THE FUCK DOWN. A bitch was calling C-Money to have her check on available flights when a rancid heifer from the dark belly of hell (an American Airlines gate attendant) came forth with. “You missed your flight!” Oh no she didn’t?! A bitch looked at her like she had lost her motherfucking mind and replied… “Because Delta’s greedy ass overbooked and we were delayed and…look, is there another flight?” And she…listen to this shit…she waved her and at me and said that I had to go over to Delta and have them take care of it. Oh, yes! I ain’t lying! Heifer didn’t even lift her eyes to address me like the paying motherfucking customer I am!Lawd, a bitch was hot… “Thanks for nothing!” I sang as I hobbled back to Delta. The gate keeper there was decent…she hooked a bitch up with a 5:40 am flight in the morning. Fuck it all to hell and back! This bitch spent a shitty night in Milwaukee (great town, but raw circumstances) and arrived at the airport at 3:40 am…since the airlines clearly will fuck you over if you’re late and my ass wanted to get the fuck home. I went to American Airlines and approached the ticket counter when it opened at 4 am only to be greeted with… “What am I supposed to do with that?” …when I produced my Delta originated paper voucher thing. “Is there a problem?” I replied. “Just give it to me and I’ll call Delta. You wouldn’t understand.” She tossed back. Pause. Blink. Hit play. A bitch offered in return…“Ms., I’ve already been fucked over and treated like shit by two airlines, so you don’t have to help them reach their quote of inadequate customer service this morning. Why don’t you tell me what the problem is and we can move on from there?” She told me, after she regained her composure, that I needed a ticket rather than an itinerary. How hard is that shit to understand? Heifer!I headed over to the Delta counter to get the paper ticket I should have been given last night…where no one was there…and no one showed up...ever. Finally, I called the 1-800 number, where they confused me with some other Gold Member status woman named AngryBlackBitch and put me through to the phone service the better people get. Trust that I told them I have never been so frustrated in my life…Delta is on crack and I’m glad they can’t make a profit…and this bitch is not at all satisfied. Lawd! Top it off with this bitch being selected for a full pat down high risk security search because of the one way ticket forced on me by The Man’s ineptitude! girl, I had the same shit happening to me!!! i didn't get home until almost 3 in the morning and I was supposed to be home at 9pm!!!!! I got the feel up too--it's nice that they incorporated free health care into our security system. Delta is awful. I mean, all airlines, as you point out, can get away with insane crap in this country, but I had so many bad experiences with Delta that I just refuse to fly with them, no matter how low the fare. There was one night spent in the rattiest possible hotel near D.C., where a party was going on until 3am, because they screwed up one of my connections. They gave me a puny packet of toiletries to "make up" for holding my luggage hostage overnight--and then wanted me to tip the shuttle driver they hired to get me back to the airport. Y'all have got to be kidding! Delta has been massively overselling and under-serving for years, many of their reps are seriously rude as hell, and their planes are almost always very, very late. I don't feel in the least bit sorry for them in their current financial crisis--it's the kind of thing that ought to happen to people who run their businesses so poorly! My last flight, returning to Alaska while still weak after surgery, they canceled my flight the first day and I had to call my friend to come get me again and then the next day they ran me around the airport (pulling my carry-on luggage) to try to iron out a problem they were having and the plane didn't board until two hours after it was scheduled to take off. And then the Alaska Airlines flight from Sacramento to Seattle being late, caused me to miss my connection -- the connecting fligt was still there and the person who guards the door was still there, but my seat had been given to someone else when I didn't show, although they knew I was on the flight that was landing when it happened and that I could, in all probability, make it. I had been sent, still dragging my carry on and walking with a cane, on a 15 minute hike to get to this door because my original flight told me that the plane was still boarding and they had called to tell them I was coming. Then, when I stood stunned in front of the person who told me I was out of luck and blurted out, "For this shit I purchased a first class ticket?" I got sent back to the gate I had deplaned at and had to wait six hours for the next flight to Juneau. Which meant I had to call my son to please go feed my cats and the friend who was coming to the airport to pick me up and ask if he could make it at 3 a.m., since I didn't think I could manage to stagger to a cab at that point. And, I got patted down both in Sacramento and Seattle because I'm a fat woman in her 60s and obviously must be patted down so no terrorist will think they are profiling.

Whistling tunelessly he crosses the street hands in the pockets of his black leather jacket. Jogging the last few steps before the light changes his pinkish-orange hair bobbing. The sky above is dark and starless, heavy and low where it isn’t lost in the streetlight glare. The little corner parking lot is crammed with a half-dozen food carts shoulder-to-shoulder with signs that say El Brasero and Potato Champion and Whiffies Fried Pies. He squeezes between a couple careful of power cords and a water line wrapped in insulating foam and knocks on the back door of a silvery cart trimmed in purple and green and gold. The cart lurches. “Fuck off,” calls someone from inside. He knocks again. The door’s wrenched open enough for a man to peer out. “It’s five o’clock in the fucking,” he says. “Jesus, Ray.” Wrapped in a shapeless brown corduroy coat. Tuft of beard leaning sideways off his chin. “I don’t do breakfast. You know that.” “Like I could pay if you did.” “Don’t do charity neither,” says the man in the corduroy coat. “Relax.” The man in the black leather jacket pulls his other hand from a pocket. “Just need some water and a pot.” He’s holding three eggs still speckled with bits of feather and chicken shit. Three eggs in fizzing water in a red saucepot on a bluely glowing propane stovetop next to the big empty griddle. Ray in his black leather jacket leans back against a wall papered with lists and recipes scrawled on index cards, grimy menus, a photo of the man in the corduroy coat wearing a bowling shirt and dark glasses, smiling, thumbs up by the sunlit cart. He’s up in the narrow nose pouring coffee from an orange thermos into white paper cups. Leans over to hand one back steam billowing in the sharp light of the electric lamp hung over the griddle. “Oh, hey,” says Ray. “Thanks.” “I’m a cheap sonofabitch and an uncharitable bastard,” says the man in the corduroy coat. “I ain’t inhumane.” Ray sips his coffee, the sets it on the griddle and pulls a green glass bottle from his jacket. He pours a slug of something colorless into the cup. “Jesus, Ray,” says the man in the corduroy coat. “Ain’t neither of us slept yet,” says Ray, “so it’s still way the hell after noon.” He takes another, slower sip. “And the essences of juniper and coriander really bring out the floral notes of a good arabica blend. How’s tricks?” “Can’t complain,” says the man in the corduroy coat, yawning hugely. “Drunk people need their fried starches, but damn. I get stuck cleaning up till the crack of fucking hell. You?” “Ah, you know,” says Ray. He takes the bubbling pot off the lit eye, sets it on the griddle, slaps a lid on. “No job. No prospects. Stealing eggs from somebody’s backyard coop. Still haven’t kicked a cat, though. So I got a ways to fall yet.” Ray leaves the cart with a brown paper sack and a covered white cup. He darts across the empty street against the light and runs more quickly across the intersection with the yellow light, waving at a bus lumbering down the dark street toward the corner. He pulls a handful of paper slips, bus transfers in muted reds and oranges and greens, and rifles through them one-handed till he finds a short one, greyish yellow. The bus snorts to a stop and he flashes it at the driver, then heads for the back, past the only other passengers: a man in a powder blue tuxedo, his collar open, his bow tie unclipped, and a figure anonymous in a bulky black parka and a green meshback cap pulled low that says PC-815 over the bill. The bus climbs slowly past apartments and restaurants a hardware store and a wine shop, a bakery, a comic book store, a tented farmer’s market and a woman setting out signs that say Open, Blood Oranges, Two Ninety-nine. Crowning the hill a funeral home behind a majestic sweep of lawn. Down the other side the street falls through thickening blocks of two- and three-storey buildings that push right up to lightening sidewalks through a welter of power lines and phone lines. Stoplights click and change over empty intersections. Maybe thirty blocks away the street climbs again up to the colonnaded porch of a big yellow house its windows dark in the lap of a much larger tree-shadowed hill. Off away behind it all, orange light’s leaking through cracks in the soft grey ceiling of clouds. Someone pulls the cord and the bus shudders to a stop by a dark movie theater with a big sign that says Bagdad in ornamented letters. The man in the tuxedo gets up and carefully hands on the backs of the seats makes his way off. Morgan Stewart’s Coming Home, says the unlit marquee. Adventures in Babysitti. Barbarella 1100. Maybe ten blocks shy of that big yellow house up on the hill the bus turns off the street, and Ray yanks the cord. He gets off at a corner stop by an empty parking lot. The sign above it says F.O.E. East Portland Ærie No. 3256. His footsteps echo as he heads back to the street and continues up it past the last of the two-storey blocks. A barista’s setting out a sign that says Albina Press. Up past blocks of one- and two-storey houses now, still dark behind hedges, under skeletal trees. When the steepening street reaches that big yellow house with its colonnaded porch and a sign out front that says Western Seminary it doglegs around it and up and up past more dark houses until it ends finally in a great grass berm, blocks long to either side. Ray climbs it up a narrow flight of cracked concrete steps to a low stone wall topped by an arrow-tipped wrought-iron fence. Past the fence under buzzing streetlights an enormous open reservoir half-filled with black water untouched by the orange glow that’s still threatening somewhere away behind the hill. Across the reservoir a crenellated pump-house like a tower without its castle. Beyond it the hill continues to rise, the houses left behind now, dark trees rooted in black shadows all about. Another flight of concrete steps much longer and much steeper than the last. At the bottom of it Ray drains his paper cup of coffee and chucks it into a garbage can. Paper bag in hand, shoulders set, head down, he starts up that second flight, slowing, huffing as he nears the top. There’s another low stone wall, another wrought-iron fence, another crenellated pump-house, oval instead of blocky. Another open reservoir, inky and vast. Ray stoops there at the top of the steps, hands on his knees, hair flopping over into his eyes. The buzz of the streetlights cuts out, and he is left alone in the gloom, his breath loud and rough in the silence. He straightens, turns, looks back. Past the dizzying fall of steps past the squared-off reservoir below past the trees and houses the street stretches away stoplights winking yellow to red, flanked on either side by more streets, more blocks fixing the gentle rumple of the land with streetlights and porch lights, storefronts and signs, the straight-lined grid in turn gentled by dark-shadowed clusters and thickets of trees, all of it lipped by a low ridge maybe thirty blocks away. Past that ridge shreds of fog lick up lighter than the clouds above, the unseen river bracketed north and south by the great arch of one bridge, the sweep of another, the cars so far away just crawling white lights and red lights. Past that rippled curtain then the towers of downtown and a thousand thousand windows filling with an uncertain light, yellowish blue without a hint of green, and the corners and edges and frames of those windows have all of them caught hesitant sparks of orange. Ray sits on the top step and pulls three eggs from the paper bag. He rolls one between his knee and the palm of his hand, crushing the shell, and peels it, watching the city before him tip over into daylight. The light in all that glass firms up into a softly greyish white just brighter than the lightening clouds above, still touched with blue and yellow blushing about those smoldering orange edges and corners. He eats his egg and begins to peel a second. One of the towers stands alone, away from the others off to the north, its reddish amber glass framed by dark pink stone still dim, untouched by lightening day. Digging in his pockets Ray pulls out a paper packet that says Salt and rips it open, pouring it out in a pile on his palm, sprinkling a pinch of it over the peeled egg. That lone tower glimmers and suddenly every pane of glass in the building flares with smoldering orange light that grows and spreads as he lifts the egg to his mouth and somewhere up behind him the clouds break open and the morning light rolls down over the city, the wave of it washing out all those little lights down the street and up the ridge, the shreds of fog between the bridges tattering, melting away, the cloudy light filling those thousands upon thousands of windows in the towers blown out by orange and yellow and red. And the lone tower’s glass is filled with all those colors and more, golds and roses, purples, pearly whites, even clean pure lines of the greens and blues that only shine at sunrise and sunset, and its dark pink stone gleams now as behind him the sun mounts and the morning takes hold. He climbs to his feet one hand shading his eyes against the glory. “I knew it,” he says. He laughs and spins around once on the top step. “I knew it!” Backing up a couple of half-dancing steps he drops a shoulder and cocks his arm and spinning around once more and again he hurls the third egg away off the hill toward that burning tower, that blaring slice of sunrise cut into the dark hills away across the river. It spins from his hand a tiny shadow lost in all the dazzle and never comes back down. I was wondering what all the intense imagery was building up to. I was almost losing my grasp on it, but it came together at the end. I’m excited to (maybe) learn more about Ray. Also, kudos on the description of boiled egg eating. I can taste them. Actually, now I kind of want one.

the cat....has turned into the devil. man, what an attitude this guy has. last night, i get off the computer and walk in the kitchen. my wife is there wiping some blood off her foot....that cat bit her!! lol...it's not funny, but... anyways, he's just laying on the kitchen floor watching like nothing happened. if he wasn't so intriguing, i'd be pissed. anyways, he has started this thing about attacking her and my son...but...he doesn't do it with me. with me...he's a gentle little kitten...but with the two of them...he's constantly harassing them...like he knows he's breaking their balls. so...i keep an eye on him. this devil will sit on the floor and stare at my wife while she's on the couch...i mean stare at her like he's pissed...lol. then, he'll try to sneak around and jump up there...when he does...he perches himself on the back of the couch and stares even more....kinda freaky...but he's just the opposite with me. as i'm typing this, i can hear my son yelling at the cat because he's in there bugging him...same thing...stares then tries to make a move to attack. they feed him and he's like a little kitten when it comes time to eat...he purrs and rubs against them...but any other time...it's like they're his targets. but, the wife doesn't hold it against him..nor my son...so he's safe for now. he's getting neutered soon so maybe that will cure him. animals certainly can sense things about people....but, like i said, he never bothers me and is always nice with me..even lays next to me and sleeps. maybe he's gay? lol...or maybe he just wants me to himself...however, if i pay attention to him, the dog gets jealous and runs over and chases the cat away.....sheesh....animals....dealing with their psychological issues is just as bad as dealing with human's issues. You know what you need, mga? Another kitten! OR get a catnip scratcher...they've got them at Wal-mart..pretty cheap, too. My cats love theirs...they'll actually lay on it and go from being kind of testy to very calm. Find some catnip in a pot and keep it inside, if you can. I grow it in a bed outdoors during the summer, and I often find one or two of my cats rolling around in it. They love it. I love these stories you're telling us about this kitten. Keep them coming.

The owner should initiate play periods and can try to anticipate and redirect the "attack" to a toy (e.g. carry a ball to toss). The owner should avoid giving any type of reward for the play aggression – running and screaming may only encourage the behavior. The owner should not deliver any direct interactive punishment (e.g. hit the cat) for the behavior as it may induce fear or defensive aggression. The owners can interrupt inappropriate play behavior with remote punishment (squirt bottle, alarm) or exit the room if cat instigates inappropriate play. Adding another cat of a similar age and energy level is a treatment option. thanks, again, catherine. as i stated, the cat and i get along well...never a problem. he comes over, allows me to pet him and when i stop...he comes for more. my wife and son, on the other hand, don't seem to have that relationship with him...except when they feed him. god...he turns into the lovable little cat you read about in story books...lol sheesh...what a politician he's become. but....he has many good points that far out weigh his bad. he's learned to open doors with his paws..and he knows which ones swing which way. lately, i noticed he's been watching the lever to flush the toilets...and i was wondering if he's going to figure that one out because he's fascinated with the water swirling....of all things...lol he's learned what NO means...it means to back off...the wife taught him that. and the dog has taught him that when the micro wave chimes...there might be food available....they both come running into the kitchen now...probably because one thinks the other is going to get something. it's funny that jealousy is a psychological trait in dogs...or, at least in mine. if she sees me petting the cat..she comes over and nudges the cat away. and he's learned when the dog barks, someone is at the door and he gets into his alert status too. Our next door neighbors are the type who have lots of animals and pay very little attention to them. One of their cats had kittens a couple of months ago. They kept two out of the litter. They are very friendly and fearless. They aren't even afraid of my grandchildren!!! One of them decided he likes our yard, and started spending most of his time there. Soon he was trying to get into our house everytime we opened the door. Finally, we gave up and let him in. Now, he comes over every day, plays with our cat's toys, then goes home at night. He finds toys our cats lost years ago, and bats them all over the house. I don't think he has any toys at home. Our cat Mikey even plays with him now. He eats our cat's food if they leave any in the bowl, but he adopted us well before he ever got anything to eat at our house. His mommy still lives next door. I'm sure that is the only reason he goes home at night. I have to say I stopped by and saw this thread. Very funny! I don't think the kitten looks evil! He looks very sweet.......like it wouldn't hurt a fly. I've never owned a cat, but lived with one for awhile. I was the only person that could pet the cat and it would sleep with me. Even though I have no desire for a cat, can't stand the fur, I sure do enjoy hearing about their antics! Thanks for sharing the stories, they really make me laugh. mga...your cat is the twin of Saber, one of the two black cats I have....those golden eyes, that playful stance, just ready to pounce! Hey, your cat is going to do fine. Saber is great, although I did not own him as a kitten. He showed up on my back deck in 2004. He knew where to come for love and care! NINA! Good to see you! Stop by more often and get back into the frays that often happen around here. We've missed you.

That's all there is to it."~Harry S. Truman well, it's been a couple of weeks now and "the cat" is getting bigger and, surprisingly, mellowing out some. however, i've noticed he flinches when i go to pet him....obviously someone must have wacked him a few times...probably young kids and the parents decided to get rid of him. anyways, he's still fascinated with water and on thursday he's going to be...gulp...neutered. poor guy...lol but, he doesn't take any crap from the dog and shows no fear of anything. i'm still studying him to see what personality traits he is going to develop. he has learned from the dog tho. he knws when someone is at the door from the dog's bark...which is interesting. then again, who else does he have to learn from? the dog, however, has a jealous streak. when the cat jumps on the couch and wants me to pet him...the dog runs over and tries to nudge him away. amazing that dogs would have this emotion. but the cat, simply paws at the dog enough to back her off....so, i have to sit there and, like two kids, pay equal attention to both....sheesh. talk about animals with issues...lol but, that damn dog is very posessive of her food....she lets the cat know well in advance that food is NOT some thing she's willing to share. now this dog will eat anything...and i do mean anything! all from all fruits to vegetables, to any meat (of course) and the only thing she refuses to eat are rice cakes. other than that...it's in her mouth. we buy clemintine oranges...i love those...and so does the dog. it's impossible for me to sneak any past her. i truly believe that dogs are the only animal that would eat themselves to death if given the chance.

Air New Zealand Our team completed floor coating work at Air New Zealand in the engineering workshops and main hangar areas during August 2009. The Resene Aquapoxy Silver Sand colour system was applied in the metal, composite and mechanical areas, which included safety walkways (total area 2,200m²). Hangar 2 North Bay had previously been coated by Topcoat six years ago, with the Carboline 1340/890 system. During the shutdown period, the Centre Bay and part of the South Bay were diamond ground and extensive floor repairs were completed before the application of the Polyline Epoxy system. Special yellow/red hatch walkways were also applied to ensure that the high safety standards of the facility were maintained. The coating required a non slip texture, and had to resist Skydrol oil and other engineering contaminants (total area 4,320m²). The size and scope of this work required staff to work day/night shifts to meet the 12 day shutdown deadline, and the results are outstanding.

Illinois Route 1 Illinois Route 1 (IL 1) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Illinois. Running parallel to the Indiana border, it is also the longest state road, starting at the free ferry crossing to Kentucky at Cave-in-Rock on the Ohio River and running north to the south side of Chicago as Halsted Street at an intersection with Interstate 57. This is a distance of . Route description Cave-in-Rock to Birds IL 1 begins at the ferry dock for the Cave-in-Rock Ferry in the eponymous village of Cave-in-Rock along the Ohio River. A continuation of Kentucky Route 91 (KY 91), IL 1 begins its journey in the Shawnee National Forest, leaving the village of Cave-in-Rock for the hamlet of Loves Crossing, where it meets the eastern terminus of IL 146. For the next , IL 1 winds north through the forest, reaching a junction with IL 13, which connects to Equality and Shawneetown. Further north, IL 1 remains a two-lane road when it junctions with IL 141 at the Gallatin–White county line.

The one-way pair ends at a junction with Elliot Street, where IL 1 and US 150 leave downtown Paris. The routes leave Paris and pass through the community of Wetzel at the Edgar County Airport. The two routes cross a junction with US 36, which marks the entrance to the village of Chrisman. In Chrisman, IL 1 and US 150 wind northeast as Pennsylvania Street, quickly departing the village. IL 1 and US 150, the roads cross into Vermilion County. In Vermilion County, the routes continue due north through the villages of Ridge Farm and Georgetown. Paralleling railroad tracks, they soon reach the city of Tilton, where IL 1 and US 150 gain the moniker of Georgetown Road. Just north of West 14th Street, the routes meet an interchange with I-74 (exit 215). The routes cross through South Danville until the Middle Fork of the Vermilion River. After the river, the routes enter the city of Danville, becoming North Gilbert Street. IL 1 and US 150 continue north along Gilbert until the junction with West Fairchild Street.

At the junction with West 159th Street in Harvey, IL 1 meets US 6. The route soon turns northwest and crosses the Metra Electric Division railroad tracks before reaching IL 83 at Sibley Boulevard (147th Street). IL 1 crosses over the Little Calumet River twice, passing through Riverdale and Dolton between the two crossings. Continuing along South Halsted, IL 1 passes east of the West Pullman Metra station near 122nd Street. At 99th Street, IL 1 ends at an interchange with I-57 (exit 357). History The northern portion of the Vincennes Trace or Vincennes Trail, an Indian trail which ran some to Vincennes, Indiana, was called Hubbard's Trace or Hubbard's Trail since it connected Fort Dearborn in Chicago with Gurdon Saltonstall Hubbard's more southerly trading outposts. It took on the name State Road after some state-funded improvements. Vincennes Avenue, one of Chicago's rare diagonal streets, is a vestige of the Vincennes Trace, and further south the trail eventually became IL 1. In its early days, State Road was unpaved and known for having mud so deep it was jokingly said that it could suck down a horse and buggy. The Hubbard Trace was a wagon trail laid out by Gurdon Saltonstall Hubbard after he opened a trading post in Danville in 1828, located east of a former Kickapoo village. The trail went north through Hoopeston (Chicago Road) to Watseka, named after Hubbard's Potawatomi wife Watch–e–kee. From there the trail led to Hubbard and Noel La Vasseur's fur warehouse and trading post in Momence, named for Potawatomi chief Momenza. It then went north to Beecher and Blue Island, eventually becoming Vincennes Avenue and State Street to Fort Dearborn south of the Chicago River. IL 1 was commissioned in 1918 as SBI Route 1. The original route had extended further along the northern end into Chicago along Vincennes Avenue and Michigan Avenue, and on the southern end from Norris City to Metropolis. When US 45 was established from Norris City to Metropolis, IL 1 shifted east to Cave-In-Rock. Kentucky Route 91 continues across the Ohio River. In 1937, IL 1 was shifted southeast away from Albion to directly connect Mount Carmel and Grayville. Eventually, IL 15 and IL 130 replaced IL 1 to Albion. In the 1950s, a freeway, then known as the Calumet Expressway, was constructed south from Chicago. This was designated IL 1, while the old highway along Halsted Street was signed Alternate IL 1 (Alt. IL 1). By 1964, IL 1 was restored to its old alignment, and IL 394 was applied to the expressway south of the portion designated as I-94 (the I-94 portion now being known as the Bishop Ford Freeway). At this time, IL 1 was discontinued north of I-57. Dixie Highway Most of IL 1 north of Danville was part of the western division of the Dixie Highway, which goes through downstate Illinois and enters the Chicago area as it passes through Beecher. From here it follows the Vincennes Trail north and splits into the Bishop Ford Freeway (formerly the Calumet Expressway) and Chicago Road (one of the original roads into Chicago from the south). The Dixie Highway follows Chicago Road through Crete (where it is known as Main Street), Steger and South Chicago Heights (where it shares a junction with Sauk Trail). As IL 1 continues north, it has a junction with Lincoln Highway (US 30) in Chicago Heights. This is sometimes known as the "Crossroads of the Nation", because it is the intersection of two major auto trails. This intersection helped cities such as Chicago Heights thrive in its early days. Approximately two blocks after this intersection, Dixie Highway splits from Chicago Road and continues north through Flossmoor and Homewood. At the north end of Homewood's downtown, the road turns and goes under the Illinois Central Railroad tracks, which now carries both the Metra Electric Line and Amtrak trains. The road continues north through East Hazel Crest and past the Markham Rail Yards and under the Tri-State Tollway. Past the tollway, the road enters Hazel Crest, Markham and then Harvey. As the road continues, creating a border between the towns of Dixmoor and Posen, its name changes to Western Avenue. When the road enters Blue Island, it splits into two streets, (Western and Gregory), and realigns itself into one when it reaches Burr Oak Avenue. The road then enters the city of Chicago. Through Chicago, Western Avenue is a major boulevard, which continues north through the city to the town of Evanston (where it is named Asbury Street), which is where the Dixie Highway ends.

Sodium glycocholate transport across Caco-2 cell monolayers, and the enhancement of mannitol transport relative to transepithelial electrical resistance. Ideally, the amount of enhancer remaining at the donor side during an in vitro transport study should be known, in order to know the true enhancer concentration during a permeability study. The purpose of the present study is to estimate the flux of the enhancer, sodium glycocholate (GC), through Caco-2 cell monolayers, and to study the effect of various enhancer concentrations on the permeability of GC itself, the permeability of mannitol and the transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER). Apical to basolateral permeability was measured with various concentrations 0.50% (10.2mM), 0.75% (15.5mM) and 1.00% (20.5mM) of GC. The GC permeabilities (Papp) were 4.7+/-1.1, 12.8+/-2.8 and 25.8+/-4.3 (x10(-7)cms(-1)), respectively. Mannitol transport changed accordingly with the Papp; 8.5+/-0.8, 9.9+/-2.7, 20.4+/-2.8 and 31.0+/-4.9 (x10(-7)cms(-1)) for GR, 0.50, 0.75 and 1.00% GC, respectively, with a TEER after 120min, relative to initial, of 86+/-6, 77+/-10, 61+/-11 and 49+/-7%. In conclusion a low and concentration-dependent permeability was found for GC across the Caco-2 cells. Mannitol transport increased and TEER decreased accordingly with increasing GC concentrations. TEER decreased in less than 10min to a certain level, without further reduction in a 120min period, indicating that the enhancer effect is momentarily, rather than time-dependent. The apical GC concentration and enhancer effect may be considered well defined during the experiment, due to the observed low permeability of GC.

Pennsylvania Hall (Gettysburg, Pennsylvania) Pennsylvania Hall (Penn Hall, Old Dorm) is the Gettysburg College central administrative building and the college's oldest building. Designed in 1835 by John Cresson Trautwine, it was built in 1838 as a "temple-style edifice with four columns in the portico". During the Battle of Gettysburg in July 1863, Pennsylvania Hall was used as a hospital for wounded troops of the Union and Confederate Armies. The building is also used for the convocation and commencement traditions of entering and departing the college via building. History The 1832 "Pennsylvania College of Gettysburg" (now Gettysburg College) initially shared the Gettysburg Academy building on High Street with the Gettysburg Theological Seminary. The college purchased from Thaddeus Stevens for $528, and the hall with four stories and was built with a portico on the south side and a . The hall was the only academic building until the 1847 Linnæan Hall was dedicated as a museum of Natural History (later becoming the chemistry lab then the 2nd academic gymnasium). In the early years of its existence, Pennsylvania Hall contained the students' living quarters, as well as several offices and recitation rooms. At the time of the battle of Gettysburg, the building was the largest building in town. The interior of the hall was renovated in 1869-70. Battle of Gettysburg During the American Civil War, Union signal officers used the Old Dorm cupola on June 30, 1863. On July 1, Michael Jacobs, the chemistry and mathematics professor at the college led Union officers to the cupola to observe the battlefield. Battle casualties were treated in Pennsylvania Hall through about July 29 and totaled nearly 700—many of whom died in the building and on surrounding property. Soldiers of both armies were treated in Pennsylvania Hall, as control of the College shifted from Union to Confederate forces on the evening of July 1. Nearby burials of Union soldiers were reinterred in the Gettysburg National Cemetery in the autumn and winter, and Confederate burials were reinterred in the southern cemeteries, primarily in Hollywood Cemetery (Richmond, Virginia). Pennsylvania College resumed classes on September 24, 1863. Bullets, bones, human remains and bloody books were found in and around the building for many years after the end of the battle. Post-war The Pennsylvania Hall interior was again renovated in 1889 and in 1928, and a United States tablet was erected in Old Dorm in 1932 (the "white-painted Gettysburg College building" was the "base hospital" for the 1938 Gettysburg reunion.) A structural renovation of Pennsylvania Hall began January, 1969, to maintain the stability of the exterior walls, roof, and cupola with steel columns, girders and 5 concrete reinforced slabs (1 for each floor, including the attic). During the renovation, numerous artifacts of historical significance were recovered from behind walls and under floors. Pennsylvania Hall was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. Current use Today, Pennsylvania Hall contains the main administrative offices of Gettysburg College. The offices of the college's president and provost are located in the building, as well as the human resources and financial services departments. Further reading Glatfelter, Charles H. (1970; 2007).

Taxing Tories As even Tory councils support increased taxation to pay for social care, Kent Barker asks if the last vestiges of Thatcherism are finally being laid to rest A creaking infrastructure, a demoralised underfunded NHS and a social care service that is fit for no one. Tory voters rail against potholes in their roads but can’t see seen the obvious logical flaw. If you slash government spending to councils you get worse service – or no services at all. The recent debate over the NHS has been slightly more encouraging. Even this doctrinaire government appears to be considering the possibility of raising additional revenue for the health service by taxation. They may call it increased National Insurance or some other form of hypothecated tax, but they are beginning to realise that spending a smaller percentage of our GDP on healthcare than all but one of the G7 leading industrialised countries is bad for business – the business of being re-elected. There is clearly a long way to go. The Jacob Rees Moggs of this world won’t stop arguing for further cuts in taxation – even though they could clearly afford to pay vastly higher amounts.And there’s the rub. Higher taxes tend to most disadvantage those least able to afford them.Which is why you won’t hear Jeremy Corbyn publicly proclaiming a policy that he must privately espouse. But the Lib Dems and the Greens have argued for it – though that may partially account for their relative electoral unpopularity. What Britain needs is a thorough reassessment of the morality of taxation. We must begin to consider what we, as a nation, could achieve. They probably don’t like paying their high rates of tax in Sweden or the other Scandinavian countries but they are justifiably proud of their welfare state. We could and should also push for a high tax, high benefit social system that really looks after its old, vulnerable, sick and disadvantaged. It’s something we too could be proud of.But first we have to bury Thatcherism once and for all. And there may just be the first tiny chink of light with the Tory councils now arguing for social care to be funded by increased national taxation. We hope you have enjoyed reading this article. The future of our volunteer led, non-profit publication would be far more secure with the aid of a small donation. It only takes a minute and we would be very grateful. 1 Comment Already As ever, this is the old argument between the virtue of individual self-reliance on one hand and state-supported cradle-to-grave support on the other. Neither side will convince the other because both arguments are triggered by emotion more than logic. ‘Twas ever thus. That said, it’s not difficult to find articles about the collapse of the Swedish welfare system; time to stop peddling that line… But Barker’s argument is confusing: he states that higher taxes hurt the poor, then insists that we “really” must push for high taxes. Dreamy stuff! Which is it? As for the standard leftist defence of the egregious Corbyn – the instinct this columnist shows to portray his leader’s refusal to mention higher taxes as evidence of a profound sympathy for the oppressed is laughable; higher taxes = no votes. Derrr.

List of National Football League seasons This is a list of seasons of the National Football League, including the ten regular seasons of the American Football League, which merged into the National Football League in 1970. Future seasons Listed below is the current schedule of division match-ups for the next few upcoming regular seasons, based on the three-year intra-conference and four-year inter-conference rotations in place since 2002. In each year, all four teams in each division listed at the top will play one game against all four teams in both of the divisions to which it has been assigned — one from the AFC, the other from the NFC. This table also lists the sites of the regular season games that are planned to be held outside the United States as part of the NFL International Series, as well as the sites and US TV networks of the corresponding Super Bowls. Current listing of International Series games are based on extant contracts. The league stated in 2017 that it was using "inventory management" to wait until current agreements expire before potentially expanding the series, particularly into Germany. The current agreement with Mexico City expires in 2021; the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium deal runs through 2027.

Day after day, I tell myself you never meant the words that you said, Night after night I lie here alone, Can't get you out of my head, Like a fool I let our love slip away, Left me here what more can I say Missed my chance I lost my turn, My ship sank, I crashed and burned Broke your heart then I let myself down Lost the fight I lost the game, Now there's only me to blame, If you wonder where I am check the Lost and found Time after time I fell short of the man you needed me to be, Lie after lie I left you no choice But to pack your clothes and leave, I've got too much pride to beg you to stay, But before you go just let me say Missed my chance I lost my turn, My ship sank, I crashed and burned Broke your heart then I let myself down Lost the fight I lost the game, Now there's only me left to blame, If you wonder where I am check the Lost and found My ship sank, I crashed and burned, Broke your heart then I let my self down, Lost the fight I lost the game, Now there's only me left to blame, If you wonder where I am check the lost and found. If you want to find me

Radio access networks (RANs) provide for radio communication links to be arranged within the system between a plurality of user terminals. Such user terminals may be mobile and may be known as ‘mobile stations’ or ‘subscriber units.’ At least one other terminal, e.g. used in conjunction with subscriber units, may be a fixed terminal, e.g. a control terminal, base station, eNodeB, repeater, and/or access point. Such a RAN typically includes a system infrastructure which generally includes a network of various fixed terminals, which are in direct radio communication with the subscriber units. Each of the fixed terminals operating in the RAN may have one or more transceivers which may, for example, serve subscriber units in a given local region or area, known as a ‘cell’ or ‘site’, by radio frequency (RF) communication. The subscriber units that are in direct communication with a particular fixed terminal are said to be served by the fixed terminal. In one example, all radio communications to and from each subscriber unit within the RAN are made via respective serving fixed terminals. Sites of neighboring fixed terminals may be offset from one another or may be non-overlapping or partially or fully overlapping. RANs may operate as a proprietary overlay application, or may operate according to an industry standard protocol such as, for example, the Project 25 (P25) standard defined by the Association of Public Safety Communications Officials International (APCO), or other radio protocols, such as the terrestrial trunked radio (TETRA) standard defined by the European Telecommunication Standards Institute (ETSI), the Digital Mobile Radio (DMR) standard also defined by the ETSI, an open media alliance (OMA) push to talk (PTT) over cellular (OMA-PoC) standard, a voice over IP (VoIP) standard, or a PTT over IP (PoIP) standard. Typically, P25, TETRA, and DMR networks are narrowband managed networks while PoC, VoIP, and PoIP are implemented over broadband networks including third generation and fourth generation networks such as third generation partnership project (3GPP) Long Term Evolution (LTE) networks. Within the narrowband managed networks, P25 and TETRA based RANs are generally recognized as land mobile radio (LMR) networks, and may be more preferred or less preferred by network owners/operators and subscribers compared to other narrowband managed networks such as DMR networks. Within the broadband category, public safety LTE systems (pLTE) may approach or exceed the reliability and performance levels of LMR, while commercial LTE services, over which PoC, VoIP, and PoIP services are provided, may be considered equivalent or lower performing compared to DMR. Communications in accordance with any one or more of these standards, or other standards, may take place over physical channels in accordance with one or more of a TDMA (time division multiple access), FDMA (frequency divisional multiple access), OFDMA (orthogonal frequency division multiplexing access), or CDMA (code division multiple access) protocols. Subscriber units in RANs such as those set forth above send user communicated speech and data, herein referred to collectively as ‘traffic information’, in accordance with the designated protocol. Many public safety RANs provide for group-based radio communications amongst a plurality of subscriber units such that one member of a designated group can transmit once and have that transmission received by all other members of the group substantially simultaneously. Groups are conventionally assigned based on function. For example, all members of a particular local police force may be assigned to a same group so that all members of the particular local police force can stay in contact with one another, while avoiding the random transmissions of radio users outside of the local police force. When an event or incident occurs, such as a fire or accident, numerous different groups may respond to the incident, including for example, direct first responders such as police, fire, and medical groups and supporting responders such as utility, traffic control, crowd control groups, among others. Each of these groups may attempt to, and may actually secure, resources on one or more of the RANs available at the incident location. Given the limited availability of RF resources on any one RAN available at the incident location, however, subscriber units that are members of either of the direct first responders groups and the supporting responders groups may be unable to secure RF resources on the same RAN or on a preferred RAN, resulting in an inability of some members of each group to communicate with other members of the group on the same or on other RANs, and/or resulting in lower priority groups such as supporting responders groups obtaining RF resources at the expense of higher priority groups such as direct first responders groups. One RAN may be preferred over another RAN for a number of reasons. For example, subscriber units operating on a managed public safety narrowband RAN are normally granted elevated quality of service (QoS) levels that may not be granted, or may not be granted to the same extent, when operating on commercial LTE RANs, or other types of RANs. To the extent that subscriber units that are members of supporting responders groups secure RF resources on the managed public safety narrowband RANs at the expense of subscriber units that are members of direct first responders groups, the direct first responders groups may experience reduced services, features, and/or reliability. For example, as shown in FIG. 1, a conventional incident scene 100 may have an incident center 102 and may have an incident boundary 104 manually or automatically defined surrounding the incident center 102, thereby defining a particular geographic area within the boundary 104 that is associated with the incident. Various incident responders (each of which may be a member of a corresponding incident response group) may already be on scene or within the incident boundary 104 at the time of the incident, including for example, a traffic control responder SU 114 and a utility responder SU 110. Each of these incident responder SUs may, in one example, already be actively using RF resources of a preferred RAN, such as a LMR RAN providing coverage substantially across the particular geographic area (e.g., within the incident boundary 104). However, as new incident response groups or as additional members of already existing incident response groups arrive within the incident boundary 104 and attempt to secure additional RF resources from the more preferred LMR RAN, including for example additional utility incident responder SU 112 moving from position 112A to 112B and finally to 112C within the incident boundary 104 and additional traffic control incident responder SU 116 moving from position 116A to 116B and finally to 116C within the incident boundary 104, all available RF resources at the more preferred LMR RAN may become used such that no additional (or insufficient) RF resources are available for subsequent incident responders or incident response groups. For example, subsequently arriving fire incident responder 120 (moving from position 120A to position 120B and finally to position 120C within the incident boundary 104) and subsequently arriving police incident responder 122 (moving from position 122A to position 122B and finally to position 122C within the incident boundary 104) may be unable to secure RF resources at the more preferred LMR RAN, and as a result, may be relegated to a less preferred (in one example) DMR or LTE based RAN for their group communications that may or may not provide sufficient coverage across the particular geographic area associated with the incident. Accordingly, there is a need for a solution that would allow a controlling entity to determine the RANs that provide sufficient coverage in a particular geographic area associated with an incident, and to reassign members of various incident response groups to the determined available RANs based on one or more of the types of RANs determined available, the RF resources available at the determined available RANs, the communications abilities of the members of the various incident response groups, the assigned priorities of the determined available RANs, the assigned priorities of the incident response groups, the type of incident, and the location of the incident, among other factors.

Casein kinase 1 gamma couples Wnt receptor activation to cytoplasmic signal transduction. Signalling by Wnt proteins (Wingless in Drosophila) has diverse roles during embryonic development and in adults, and is implicated in human diseases, including cancer. LDL-receptor-related proteins 5 and 6 (LRP5 and LRP6; Arrow in Drosophila) are key receptors required for transmission of Wnt/beta-catenin signalling in metazoa. Although the role of these receptors in Wnt signalling is well established, their coupling with the cytoplasmic signalling apparatus remains poorly defined. Using a protein modification screen for regulators of LRP6, we describe the identification of Xenopus Casein kinase 1 gamma (CK1gamma), a membrane-bound member of the CK1 family. Gain-of-function and loss-of-function experiments show that CK1gamma is both necessary and sufficient to transduce LRP6 signalling in vertebrates and Drosophila cells. In Xenopus embryos, CK1gamma is required during anterio-posterior patterning to promote posteriorizing Wnt/beta-catenin signalling. CK1gamma is associated with LRP6, which has multiple, modular CK1 phosphorylation sites. Wnt treatment induces the rapid CK1gamma-mediated phosphorylation of these sites within LRP6, which, in turn, promotes the recruitment of the scaffold protein Axin. Our results reveal an evolutionarily conserved mechanism that couples Wnt receptor activation to the cytoplasmic signal transduction apparatus.

Girls creator says she is ‘dismayed’ by interpretation of childhood behaviour, described in her memoir, as abuse Lena Dunham, the creator of the hit television series Girls, has issued an apology after being attacked in the US for passages in her recently released memoir which critics have said amount to the sexual abuse of her younger sister. Dunham, 28, who this week cancelled a planned appearance at book events in Antwerp and Berlin, initially struck a defiant tone after parts of the book, Not That Kind of Girl, were highlighted by the right-wing press. The passages cited include one that describes an incident when Dunham was seven and her sister was one and playing on the driveway. Dunham writes that “curiosity got the best” of her and she opened her sister’s vagina only to call for her mother when she found the toddler had “six or seven pebbles in there”. “My mother didn’t bother asking why I had opened Grace’s vagina,” Dunham wrote. “This was within the spectrum of things that I did.” Lena Dunham: 'I can't even understand what the alt-right is saying' Read more In another passage that has attracted critics she describes trying to persuade her sister to “kiss her on the lips for five seconds” by offering gifts of sweets or coins. “Basically, anything a sexual predator might do to woo a small suburban girl, I was trying,” wrote Dunham. The website Truth Revolt, which says its mission is to “unmask leftists in the media for who they are” wrote that the book sees Dunham describe “using her little sister at times essentially as a sexual outlet”. Kevin Williamson in National Review wrote that there is “no non-horrific interpretation” of the episode with the stones. Dunham’s parents, he said, “were, in their daughter’s telling, enablers of some very disturbing behaviour that would be considered child abuse in many jurisdictions”. Dunham initially took to Twitter in what she described as a “rage spiral”. “The right-wing news story that I molested my little sister isn’t just LOL – it’s really fucking upsetting and disgusting. And by the way, if you were a little kid and never looked at another little kid’s vagina, well, congrats to you,” she wrote. “Usually this is stuff I can ignore but don’t demean sufferers, don’t twist my words, back the fuck up bros. I told a story about being a weird seven-year-old. I bet you have some too, old men, that I’d rather not hear … Sometimes I get so mad I burn right up.” But Dunham has now released a more conciliatory statement, in which she says she is “dismayed over the recent interpretation of events described in my book Not That Kind of Girl”. “First and foremost, I want to be very clear that I do not condone any kind of abuse under any circumstances,” wrote Dunham. “Childhood sexual abuse is a life-shattering event for so many, and I have been vocal about the rights of survivors. If the situations described in my book have been painful or triggering for people to read, I am sorry, as that was never my intention.” She added she was “also aware that the comic use of the term ‘sexual predator’ was insensitive, and I’m sorry for that as well”. “As for my sibling, Grace, she is my best friend, and anything I have written about her has been published with her approval,” concluded the statement. Dunham’s lawyers have also written to Truth Revolt demanding an apology and threatening legal action. The letter, obtained by the Hollywood Reporter, sees Dunham’s lawyer write that the article “is false, fabricated, and has the obvious tendency to subject my client to ridicule, and to injure her in her occupation”. Truth Revolt’s Ben Shapiro, editor-in-chief, wrote that “we refuse to withdraw our story or apologise for running it, because quoting a woman’s book does not constitute a ‘false’ story, even if she is a prominent actress and leftwing activist. Lena Dunham may not like our interpretation of her book, but unfortunately for her and her attorneys, she wrote that book – and the First Amendment covers a good deal of material she may not like.” Dunham tweeted at the weekend: “I wish my sister wasn’t laughing so hard” about the situation. Grace Dunham has also now defended her sister. She tweeted: “Heteronormativity deems certain behaviours harmful, and others ‘normal’; the state and media are always invested in maintaining that … As a queer person: I’m committed to people narrating their own experiences, determining for themselves what has and has not been harmful,” and that “2day, like every other day, is a good day to think about how we police the sexualities of young women, queer, and trans people”. Fellow writers have also come to Dunham’s defence. The author Emily Gould wrote on Salon that “Williamson fixated on a few details in the book that, divorced from context and from any understanding of how humour and writing work, made it possible for many well-meaning people to take seriously Williamson’s claim that Dunham had ‘sexually abused’ her younger sister Grace”. “Imputing predatory motives to a seven-year-old girl and assigning a role of victim to her sister, who apparently doesn’t feel victimised in the slightest … seems more predatory and abusive than anything that Dunham describes in the book, which also includes descriptions of masturbating in bed next to her sleeping sister (who hasn’t?) and bribing her with candy for kisses (come on),” wrote Gould, advising: “If you’re on the fence about whether Dunham is an ‘abuser’, you should probably read her book, and not a right-wing blogger’s cherry-picked version of its contents.”. Author and Guardian columnist Roxane Gay, meanwhile, blogged: “There is a great distance between thinking LENA DUNHAM IS A CHILD MOLESTER and thinking, yeah, inspecting her sister’s vagina seems like an awesome choice. “There are multiple places within that distance,” she continued, “and I stand in that place where I think the shit is weird, it makes me uncomfortable, but I understand why the information was disclosed in the memoir, and it did not diminish my experience of reading the book or my opinion of Dunham as a talented but flawed young woman,” wrote Gay, adding that the Truth Revolt blog and Williamson on National Review “were using Dunham’s words, but they were doing so utterly without context and here, context very much matters”. “People want Dunham to perform acts of contrition but I am not at all clear on what those acts of contrition should look like. I don’t feel like Dunham owes me or anyone outside of her circle of family and friends, anything,” wrote Gay. “I don’t understand the assumption that Dunham published this memoir without her sister’s consent. That simply didn’t happen. If Grace is okay with these disclosures, that’s good enough for me.”

Epstein Was a Known Sex Offender. Bezos, Musk and Brin Dined with Him Anyway - smacktoward https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/peteraldhous/jeffrey-epstein-bezos-musk-billionaires-dinner ====== codeddesign Who cares. As long as they weren’t engaging in illegal sex activities and were all there conducting business then how is this even news. It seems more like random character assassination. Unless Buzzfeed is trying say that all sex offenders should not be allowed to work, eat, or associate which anyone regardless of the circumstance and likewise you should never associate with a sex offender regardless of the circumstance whether you knew they were a sex offender or not. This is all complete rubbish. Shame on you Buzzfeed. ~~~ DoctorOetker we're not talking about a random sex offender, he blackmailed people, and he associated with our tech leaders. so he potentially blackmailed same tech leaders. this is a different observation than some random non-blackmailing sex offender sitting 2 spots away in the bus. When Epstein was in prison, Alfredo Rodriguez tried selling Epstein's black book for $50k. Until he was arrested for obstruction of justice. The government had a list of all the victims (and in all likelihood the clients / targets). [https://vault.fbi.gov/alfredo- rodriguez/Alfredo%20Rodriguez%...](https://vault.fbi.gov/alfredo- rodriguez/Alfredo%20Rodriguez%20Part%2001%20of%2001/view) speaking of character assassination, remember when Musk was calling one of the cave divers a pedophile? (he saving kids stuck in a cave, and provided feedback that Musk's device was useless) why wine and dine with Epstein, but then call a cave diver who actually saves children a pedophile? why did Musk dare insinuate the diver was a pedophile, but did he not dare or care to say the same about Epstein? this Epstein creep was really intelligent in his blackmail targets: he seems to have focused on people with stable positions of power like tech leaders (also business, academia?), as opposed to politicial leaders or party affiliated people as dumber blackmailers usually try: blackmailing partisan people is guaranteed to backfire sooner or later since roles switch by election every term or two. ~~~ jobigoud > as opposed to politicial leaders or party affiliated people It blew up in the news because of his ties with Donald Trump, Bill Clinton and Prince Andrew. There is a famous quote: "I’ve known Jeff for 15 years. Terrific guy… He’s a lot of fun to be with. He likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side." \-- Donald Trump. ~~~ DoctorOetker 1) To be clear I was not intrinsically trying to redirect attention to apolitical leaders, only trying to connect the dots to what _Epstein seems to have focussed on_ , and _therefore_ direct my attention towards apolitical leaders, not intrinsically. 2) Prince Andrew is not elected, princes don't have terms where new princes get rotated every term. 3) The fact that that 2 out of 3 _were political leaders_ only seems to prove my point, and Trump, Clinton (and possibly others) would have been Epstein's "mistakes" from the perspective of the strategy. (I upvoted your comment, because it adds to my interpretation) ------ scohesc What a good headline. It totally doesn't make it look like these billionaires or billionaires-to-be knowingly went to this dinner even though Epstein was there, despite how the article a few paragraphs down says "they didn't know he was there" or "don't remember". Outstanding journalism from a company known for their top 10 cat picture you _just can't resist!_ ~~~ DoctorOetker who cares if they didn't know on the way? I'm not proposing it be illegal to stay upon learning Epstein is there, but similarily most of us don't understand why you would _want_ to stay? most of us _would go home_ and feel disturbed for the rest of the day. if you are at a party, and some partypooper is present, do you actually stay? ~~~ datapunk These people are not like you. Where you would be uncomfortable and leave. They were extremely focused on why they were there and not let the presence of someone else ruin the entire night. ~~~ DoctorOetker I would not necessarily leave, typically in a situation where theres an annoying person present, me and my friends would try to get rid of the annoying person, and if that keeps failing, leave for home... ------ morelisp Since the "how could we know!" bullshit is already out full-force in this thread: The dinner was organized by John Brockman, literary agent for many of the figures who bragged about his ties to Epstein to his clients (e.g. [https://newrepublic.com/article/154826/jeffrey-epsteins- inte...](https://newrepublic.com/article/154826/jeffrey-epsteins-intellectual- enabler)). Brockman organized the dinners as part of his running the Edge Foundation, a foundation funded substantially (reportedly some years entirely) by Epstein. > As Brockman himself put it after one such dinner in 2004, “last year we > tried ‘The Science Dinner’. Everyone yawned. So this year, it’s back to the > money-sex-power thing with ‘The Billionaires’ Dinner’.” [https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/sep/07/jeffre...](https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/sep/07/jeffrey- epstein-mit-funding-tech-intellectuals) "How could they know" he was there? Because this was _Epstein's dinner_. ------ howeyc So what? Even if they did know, this is retarded. As soon as you know someone is "ex-communicated" from society you must go out of your way to never ever possibly see or interact with them forever for life? Get real. I'm not turning around to go home every time I see an "ex- communicated" individual. Who keeps track of this list of individuals, where do I go to get an updated list so I can immediately vacate when one arrives? What happens if someone is added to the list after I have met them?? Am I on the list by association?? This is bonkers. ~~~ zaphod4prez If I went to a party, and saw a guy there who was well-known as a convicted sex offender and convicted pedophile (Florida convicted him of soliciting an underage prostitute), I would leave. I believe that the list of individuals is available online in real time, it's called the sex offender registry. ------ Udik There's a lot of fuss about which institutions accepted money from Epstein, and who dined one evening at the same table with him. There is much less interest, it seems, on the big picture: we're talking about someone who had been convicted for sexual abuse of minors and sex trafficking, with about 34 minors involved; convicted for just one case, allowed to benefit from a non-prosecution agreement, given a joke sentence and let go. The judge who allowed this said "I was told he belonged to intelligence and he was above my pay grade". I had a hunch this judge might have died later in mysterious circumstances, so I googled him. He's not dead: he became the US Secretary of Labour with Trump. So Epstein was free to fly around with his private jet full of underage sex slaves, to and from his private island, and to keep meeting and forming ties with powerful people from all over the world- industrialists, politicians, presidents, royals. In his safe they found money, diamonds, and a fake passport with stamps from many countries. The other day I was reading a random conversation on the internet from a couple of months ago. One person was recapping these facts, another was replying: "if this is true, Epstein's life in prison will be very short". A few days later he was dead. The guards were not watching and the cameras were not working. The picture that is forming is that of someone managing a high end prostitution ring, for many years, probably with the intent of collecting blackmail material, and probably working for some foreign intelligence. That Elon Musk, Minsky or anyone else might have met him at a dinner table should be absolutely the last of our concerns. ------ datapunk 'Epstein did business in America, the world demands why America didn't stop him!' See, I can do that too ------ paulddraper There's got to be a better news source than this. ------ AndrewBissell Look, how could Bezos have secured those contracts for Amazon from the CIA if he refused to dine with one of their best assets? ------ nikolay Well, all these rich assholes were fascinated by the opportunities he opened to them... If the Clintons were on the Lolita Express bandwagon, why can't they ride it as well?! ------ heyitsguay I know it's against the rules to post inflammatory stuff and i want to be civil, but @dang, do you really feel ok representing a community where the prevailing opinion seems to be it's no big deal to have dealings with a known child sex trafficker, it's just societal shaming, etc? It's so disappointing that this is apparently how the minds work for prominent voices on this hub for the tech community. ~~~ hgoel On the contrary, do you really feel okay peddling this obvious attempt at a hit piece relying on guilt by association as evidence that all these other rich people were involved in some manner? No one's saying that what Epstein did wasn't wrong, everyone's saying that people who interacted with him weren't necessarily involved, nor was it their responsibility to cause a ruckus about it. ~~~ nullc You should edit your post because you meant "what Epstein did wasn't wrong". (and maybe no one _here_ because I'm sure in some awful corner of the internet there is a conspiracy theory that makes a hero of him...) ~~~ hgoel Ah yes, you're right. That's a pretty big typo on my side. The app I'm using doesn't seem to let me edit though. ~~~ dang We've edited it for you.

CAUSA 586 Lorenzo Part 3 In Part 3, once face up on the CAUSA massage table, we experienced a similar situation to Yuri wherein while face down, everything was engorged and feeling great, but once face up, Lorenzo either became self aware or self conscious or both. After pushing his boundaries further with another round of the slim, silver vibrator, finally, I paused and asked him if everything was okay – did he need to pee again. Lorenzo expressed that everything was cool, and then BAM! Within minutes he sexperienced once of the most sexplosive cumshots I’ve ever captured on video. Similar to that battery bunny, Lorenzo just kept cumming and cumming and cumming… Enjoy!

BrainFuck inspired scheduler successfully replaced the Python GIL - dryicerx http://bugs.python.org/issue7946#msg101612 ====== janzer To clarify a little, this patch does not eliminate the GIL it just schedules the next thread to acquire the GIL using the BFS scheduling algorithm. Also and perhaps more importantly this has not been incorporated into any version of python. It is just a patch on the bug tracker and realistically I doubt it has much chance of being accepted. ~~~ kinghajj If he's fixed the bugs and gotten it to be portable (at least to POSIX), then why shouldn't it get adopted? Just look at those benchmark results! 259ms per loop instead of the next best of 1.25s. If a real app gets improvements from this, it should be a no-brainer. ~~~ sid0 Glancing at the patch, it looks like it should work on both POSIX and Win32. ~~~ JoachimSchipper At least the patch as first proposed suffered from all-the-world-is-Linux (see the discussion of CLOCK_THREAD_CPUTIME_ID)... ~~~ rbanffy You have to start with one platform. You then make it work on the others. If I write something that initially only runs on IRIX and then make it work on other OSs, it would be unfair to attribute it an all-the-world-is-IRIX. It just happens the guy had a Linux box to refine his idea to the point of working, unfortunately using stuff other OSs don't offer in the same way. ------ ash The title is wrong. Brain Fuck scheduler is not related to brainfuck language. ------ mahmud _The scheduler is a simplified implementation of the recent kernel Brain F_ _k Scheduler by the Linux hacker Con Kolivas_ Not as fun now is it? Kolivas is a leader on scheduling, he can attribute his hacks to whatever joke language out there and that wont make them any less stellar. ~~~ dschobel I had totally missed Con's return from self-imposed exile. Very exciting. I loved his previous scheduler work. Glad to see him back at it. ------ viraptor As far as I understand, it just changes the way thread scheduling works, but doesn't make Python "properly multithreaded". That means it's still only one active non-native-extension thread running at any time. Could someone confirm it? Edit: I guess janzer confirmed this at posting at the same time. ~~~ jey No, Python doesn't work like that even with the traditional GIL. The problem is that even when you have multiple OS threads, they all end up competing for the same lock which kills throughput (but not as badly as the fully-serialized scenario you described). By using a scheduler the locking order can at least be controlled a bit more to improve throughput. [As far as I know; been a few years since I dug through CPython.] ~~~ viraptor What do you mean by "not as badly as the fully-serialized scenario"? I thought that Python threads are fully serialized, apart from extensions code which can spawn their own threads and release the GIL during operations that don't affect the python memory (IO mainly). Interpreter still switches Python threads using GIL, but the Python code itself never runs in parallel. Are we talking about the same thing, or is there some other non-serialized scenario? ~~~ jey I'm pretty sure that there's a good chunk of stuff you can do in Python without acquiring the GIL -- the problem is that in practice you end up doing a lot of I/O and stuff that requires at least momentarily acquiring the GIL, leading to contention. So if you stuck to the operations that didn't require locking any GIL-protected data, you could run at full throughput. It's at least not the case that the GIL is held _all_ the time while running a Python thread -- the problem is instead that your threads end up having to acquire it _often_. ~~~ JoachimSchipper Actually, the GIL is needed to execute Python code (well, access Python objects). It is released by I/O- or computation-heavy C code, so e.g. SciPy or reading files allows some level of parallelism, but pure-Python code will be serial. ~~~ jey I stand corrected. And frightened. fork(), here I come! ~~~ cma fork() isn't that great for a lot of situations. If you are thinking of taking advantage of your operating system's copy-on-write paging by loading a large chunk of data to be used read-only, forking a bunch of processes, processing the data each processes, and finally, 'reducing' the results of all of the forks into some sort of output, don't bother. What happens is when you read an object in one process, python increments the reference count, thus touching the memory page, thus copying it, thus screwing you. (however, compacting garbage collection turns out to have more or less the same problem) ------ Snark7 This is related to Python 3.2 only. In other words, this is not noteworthy. ~~~ wisty Python is python. I wouldn't be surprised to see it ported to python 2.7 if it does work. At the moment I doubt it's production ready - lots of testing and validation before it goes live. I thing Guido explicitly said that removing the GIL is the sort of thing he would like to see in Python 2.X. ~~~ apgwoz Actually, though I'm using 2.X in everything I'm doing, I'd rather see it _only_ appear in 3.X. There has to be something that drives people to port stuff to 3.X or it's not going to happen. Dramatic speed improvements such as what this _potentially_ provides would be extremely helpful in that regard. The other hope right now, is of course unladen swallow, which hasn't proved to be very significant yet, as far as I'm concerned. ~~~ sapphirecat 3.X can be pretty awesome, but as long as projects want to maintain compatibility with 2.5 or earlier, it's going to be difficult to get some serious porting momentum going. Once 2.6+ becomes a practical development target, 3.x will be a much easier sell. At least, that's my perspective after watching PHP 5 slowly catch on amongst PHPers, even though it had many more improvements (e.g. objects are no longer value types), and far fewer compatibility breaks. ~~~ jrockway People are lazy. I still hear people wanting Perl 5.8 compatibility for my modules, even though 5.10 is 2 years old and has 100% backwards and forwards compatibility with Perl 5.8. In other words, all your existing code will run unmodified, and any 5.10-specific features you use will cause 5.8 to die at compile time. People confuse me. ~~~ astine I use a lot of Perl 5.8 at the LoC because it's the only dynamic language that comes installed by default on Solaris 10. That, and because it is the primary language of a proprietary product that we have to use. I'd love to use Perl 5.10, but then I'd have to install it on all of the machines on which my code is expected to run. If I had that kind of control, I'd skip Perl and go straight to Python or Ruby. (Actually, that was a lie, I'd use Common Lisp if I could.) As it is, I've standardized on Perl 5.8. ~~~ jrockway They can install your product, but not if you bundle Perl/Python/Ruby in that directory? ~~~ astine The product I am talking about is Signiant:<http://www.signiant.com/>. It's a file based workflow application that basically that is written in Perl in the same sense that emacs is written in emacs lisp. The idea is for people to write workflows in the embedded Perl environment which is the same across of the machines on which Signiant is installed. I _could_ use another interpretor, but that would require extra work and I wouldn't be able to use a lot of the Signiant specific code.

The Golden Falcons (21-2 overall) earned their first-ever trip to the N.C. High School Athletic Association Class 3-A eastern dual-team regional championship on Thursday. They'll face the winner of today's match between heavyweights Southern Nash and Western Alamance. Cooper rushed to a 3-0, opening-set lead only to see Knobling come back and force a tiebreaker. "Sometimes I kind of lose my head, trying to go for winners instead of staying consistent with him," said Cooper. "He gets back everything and hits some good shots, too. He's really consistent and it's hard to play him." The lone player to provide a blemish on Cooper's 22-1 singles record this season, Knobling controlled the second set. He pushed Cooper back and forth with short volleys and defensive groundstrokes to keep each game close. Cooper couldn't seem to find a chink in Knobling's armor. "Blake and Chris are similar in a lot of ways, and Chris isn't going to give you easy points," said Coghill. "He doesn't have overwhelming power, but he is smart and works his game plan. "Blake worked his butt off and willed himself to win that match today." Trailing 5-4 on the changeover, Coghill urged Cooper to hit low shots and bring Knobling into the net. The second-year coach then issued his challenge to motivate Cooper. One of two seniors in Aycock's starting lineup, Cooper reeled off three straight games to clinch the match. "Chris has been a bright spot for us (all season), he really has," said Eastern Wayne head coach Nancy Dawson. "The mistakes we made on the court today were within our plan of action. My top four were focused and settled in on their matches." Top-seeded Drew Jackson contested two-time eastern singles champion Blake Vail from the opening serve. Jackson used the angles well and had good pace on his groundstrokes throughout the match. Gusty winds affected both players' serves and induced a few double faults. Each seemed to overcome their respective errors and hold serve. Jackson stayed within striking distance early in each set before Vail pulled away for a 6-3, 6-3 win. "Drew was an entirely different player than he's been all season," said a smiling Dawson. "I don't know if the regionals and states gave him more direction and focus, but he played exceptionally well." The county clash marked the final match for Dawson, who plans to retire in January of 2008. She guided the Warriors to back-to-back Eastern Carolina 3-A Conference titles in 2006 and 2007, and four consecutive appearances in the NCHSAA dual-team playoffs. The players presented Dawson with yellow roses and a signed card. "It's been a good run," said Dawson. Aycock claimed its fifth postseason victory in its last six tries. "Two years ago, if you told me we were going to be playing for the regional championship my senior year, there is no way I'd believe you," said Cooper. "It shows we've put in a lot of hard work."

Validation of the Chinese Translation of the Spatial Hearing Questionnaire and Its Short Form. Few questionnaires address how to measure spatial hearing ability in complex listening situations. The purpose of the study was (a) to validate the Chinese translation of the Spatial Hearing Questionnaire (C-SHQ) among Chinese participants and (b) to provide a shortened version for the purpose of clinical screening. This was a cross-sectional study. The C-SHQ was developed from the process of translation and back-translation of the original 24-item, English version (Tyler, Perreau, & Ji, 2009). The C-SHQ was administered to 146 patients at the Department of Otolaryngology Clinic of Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital between October 2013 and May 2014 at Sichuan, China. Exploratory factor analysis and reliability tests were performed for the full version, and confirmatory factor analysis was applied for the shortened version of the C-SHQ. The exploratory factor analysis revealed scores loaded on 3 similar factors compared with the original SHQ. The internal consistency reliability was high (Cronbach's α = 0.99). The confirmatory factor analysis indicated that a shortened version of 12 items is sufficient to measure spatial hearing abilities. The C-SHQ and its short form are both reliable and valid questionnaires, which are suitable for both research and clinical settings to measure spatial hearing ability in the Chinese population.

Getting angry about real dead animals is one thing, but now Facebook commenters are in a rage about fake ones. With anger over hunting photos already spiking thanks to Texas Tech cheerleader/trophy-hunter Kendall Jones, a Facebook jokester decided to post an image of Steven Spielberg with a downed triceratops from Jurassic Park. "Disgraceful photo of recreational hunter happily posing next to a Triceratops he just slaughtered. Please share so the world can name and shame this despicable man," Jay Branscomb joked in the caption. Inevitably, a handful of readers missed the joke and excoriated the "disgusting, inhumane prick" in the comments: Although comments like these were in the minority, they gave rise to something worse: People sarcastically pretending not to get it, followed by another wave of people who missed that sarcasm and started meta-trolling the supposed dumb-dumbs. Nearly 6,000 painful comments later, it's the perfect Facebook trainwreck. You don't want to stare, but you can't look away.

Kennedy would further astound us by claiming Iranians are "exporting" rocket propelled grenades and IED's (improvised explosive devices) to "kill Americans." He states, "you could never pay me enough to be on the side of any group that is killing Americans," apparently oblivious to the fact that MEK is listed as a terrorist organization specifically because it has indeed killed Americans. Kennedy's support of MEK - being a designated terrorist organization - is in direct violation of USC § 2339A & 2339B - providing material support or resources to designated foreign terrorist organizations. It is a crime under US law that carries with it a penalty up to and including life imprisonment.MEK is a listed terror organization for a reason.... Image: A screenshot from the US State Department's website showing MEK listed as a "Foreign Terrorist Organization" (29. Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization (MEK)). Paradoxically the US State Department along with the UN and Neo-Conservative lobbyists have been the sole factor in harboring, training, arming, and keeping in existence this terrorist organization. (click on image to enlarge) By every conceivable measure, MEK are terrorists who most definitely have American blood on their hands. Kennedy's defense preys upon what he must believe to be an infinitely ignorant, intellectually sloven audience and makes a mockery out of the 6,000+ Americans who've died in the fraudulent "War on Terror." In a nation which claims to derive its global moral superiority from the "rule of law," allowing Kennedy and those lobbying with him on behalf of MEK to continue flagrantly violating the law with impunity only further erodes America's terminally deteriorating legitimacy both at home and abroad.

Mike Munchak: Vince Young is gone, nothing will change that Posted by Michael David Smith on April 21, 2011, 7:07 PM EST When the Tennessee Titans announced shortly after the season that Vince Young would not be back, it was widely viewed as Jeff Fisher winning a power struggle with his quarterback. So with Fisher no longer the Titans’ coach, some have wondered whether Young could return. But Mike Munchak, Fisher’s successor as the Titans’ head coach, has reiterated that Young is gone, and that’s not going to change. “That was a decision made months ago and nothing that is going to happen personnel-wise, or how the draft goes, is going to change that,” Munchak said, per Jim Wyatt of the Tennessean. “It wasn’t just a Jeff Fisher decision — I think people kind of have that feeling because it happened back then we could change our decision.” Just shows the franchise is not interested in winning. Rusty Smith? Please. Kerry Collins? Even worse. Young is going to be successful in his next spot. You don’t have a winning percentage like that and be a backup QB. Before one of you spouts off his record against winning teams realize that percentage puts him in the top 10 among active QB’s as well. Not to mention ROY, two pro bowls, etc. 98.5 passer rating last year too. People keep saying he’ll have to sit the bench wherever he lands. Well from the ROY award it appears he was able to come in and start his rookie year with success. Guess we’ll see. One year left on the contract, the only QB of any worth on the roster and you cut him. Great team management. Stupidity all the way around. If VY does not end up back in a Titan jersey, look for him to be wearing the Silver and Black because Al Davis was drooling over the prospect of him playing for the Raiders as far back as 2006. Al may not get you coming into the league, but if he likes you, he will get you before you leave. brownsfn says:Apr 21, 2011 7:40 PM He will be out of the league in 2 years…end of story… brownsfn says:Apr 21, 2011 7:41 PM He’s a mental midget… rajbais says:Apr 21, 2011 8:00 PM You gotta have love for that kind of coaching honesty!!! Weirdly enough … I would not be surprised that VY goes to Cincy once free agency starts. Reason #1 is that the Bengals like “problem children” (no offense Cincy fans). #2 Cincy wants to run the football again because it complements their defense. VY can still run with ex-Longhorn teammate Cedric Benson. #3 Carson is staying at home. #4 The routes that Shipley and Gresham run complement VY’s throwing motion. Vince Young is someone who could be great, but unfortunatly won’t be. He has great pyschical QB skills, but not the mental skills., at least not right now. Maybe he matures and turns into a great QB. I would love to see it, but I have my doubts of that ever happening. thefiesty1 says:Apr 21, 2011 8:24 PM Typical Bud Adams yes man comment. Vince may be immature but he’s has been the best thing going in the Titans dysfunctional locker room since Bud couldn’t get along with Houston. Whether Munchak likes it or not, he needs VY or he’ll be a one and done coach. Adams will be giving him the finger when a losing season happens with no QB or a rookie QB. terrellochouno says:Apr 21, 2011 8:52 PM “Donovan McNabb is our starting quarterback.” – Andy Reid swervinmervin says:Apr 21, 2011 8:54 PM Here’s a prime example of what Warren Moon was talking about last week. Regardless of some of the issues he has had, its all about Ws and Ls. A white QB with a winning % like Vince Young’s would be adored by his home team AND would not be waived. Panthers will make the same mistake as the Titans if they get Cam Newton…watch. TurdSandwich says:Apr 21, 2011 9:11 PM LOL at the VY apologists.. “all he does is win”. Yeah right, he sits more games out than he wins. Best decision in a decade was to move on from VY. Britt is next. FinFan68 says:Apr 21, 2011 9:21 PM If Vince Young had any leadership ability and was not crazy/immature he could have had a decent career. He went “psycho” more than once. burntorangehorn says:Apr 21, 2011 9:23 PM brownsfn says: Apr 21, 2011 7:41 PM He’s a mental midget… ================ Or maybe you are, for buying that whole Wonderlic story without following up on the reports that refuted it. But retractions don’t get web hits, so maybe it’s not your fault. At any rate, you people who are so anti-Vince completely ignore that Jeff Fisher undermined the guy at every possible turn. Had Peyton Manning gone into a situation where a bad coach kept undermining him and criticizing him, and you can bet he wouldn’t be arguably the league’s top QB. Canyonero says:Apr 21, 2011 9:55 PM Wow, coach, way to make the troops feel as if they’re just punching the clock at Walmart. bigmike7914 says:Apr 21, 2011 10:15 PM snowpea84 says: Apr 21, 2011 7:15 PM This franchise was headed downhill the moment they draft Young. Not just because he was awful, but because of the type of decision making it would take to make that pick. —————————————————- Yeah right all he did was win more than half of his games and go to 2 pro bowls while he was there, how you guys talk about him you would think he was Jamarcus Russell, this kid isnt a head case Jeff fissher just didnt like him from the get go and no matter what Vince did it wasn’t good enough in his eyes the Titans are going no where fast and there is no way they are keeping Chris Johnson once his contract is up…Good luck Rusty you’re going to need it… Difference between Cam Newton and VY is that Cam appears to have actully gone to class while in college. Listen to him talk. Articulate and thoughtful at times. VY had the famous SI quote “Ain’t nobody never told me nothin”. In interviews it is obvious that VY knows nothing of the English language, which indicates that it would have been impossible for him to stay eligible without lots of friendly profs. No wonder he can’t master a play book. If the Bills truly want cam newton, and can’t have him, how much different would it it be to sign vince young? He has the same type of game plus he has 5 years of experience. Say what you want about vince, the guy wins games. NFLJunkie says:Apr 21, 2011 11:16 PM The only way Young will be successful in his next spot is if he stops believing all the long-time enablers around him who only tell him how great he is. It’s stunting his growth. And he does need to grow up. It’s not about his Wonderlic score or his throwing motion. He can and did win quite a few games despite those things But his emotional immaturity was mind-boggling, from his rookie year right through his meltdown last year. That has to change. thefiesty1 says:Apr 21, 2011 11:36 PM I can’t believe some of these comments knocking VY. He has a winning record at Tenessee of all places. That’s probably more wins than YOUR team. If the coach hadn’t undermined him at every turn, he might have matured a little faster. Some team is going improve when they sign him. Tennessee’s loss! Here’s a prime example of what Warren Moon was talking about last week. Regardless of some of the issues he has had, its all about Ws and Ls. A white QB with a winning % like Vince Young’s would be adored by his home team AND would not be waived. Yet, here we are. —————————————————– It’s not about him being black, it’s about him being a psychopath and unwilling to work hard and earn his tens of millions of dollars. Nobody says anything bad about Josh Freeman because Freeman is a professional and thus a great player. If you want a good comparison to a white QB, please see Ryan Mallett’s future team. He will be the white, nonathletic Vince Young, only with far less talent. rc33 says:Apr 22, 2011 1:02 AM Refute what with regard to VY’s Wonderlic? He most assuredly scored a 6 on his first attempt. Any spin that happened was from VY’s own camp, frightened to death at the possibility of their guy losing millions of Draft Day dollars but make no mistake, he scored a 6. Oddly, he was allowed to take it a second time and scored a 15. burntorangehorn says:Apr 22, 2011 1:30 AM VY in Minnesota would finally accomplish what should’ve happened in Austin: a Young-Peterson backfield. AP was definitely the one who got away. You don’t work for Bud Adams for 20 years and not understand how to ‘tow the line.’ Nice way to start your head coaching career, Mike. You’re a complete TOOL of yet another geriatric owner. To think that I, once upon a time, respected and admired you…Pffft. See Ya! db3300 says:Apr 22, 2011 2:53 AM “Vince wins games” What color is the sky in your world? You guys really are delusional. Are the rest of us watching different games than the ones you’ve seen? The only games Vince wins are against bad teams and ones that they would have won by bigger margins had he not been playing. The loser has won 30 games over 5 seasons. If that’s your idea of a winner then have fun “waiting until next year”. “98.5 passer rating last year” But a 75 passer rating throughout his career. (Nice job trying to sneak his rating in from a few games in one year where he only had about 17 attempts/game.) Half the guys on this board could have a 76 just by showing up – which is more than Vince has done. It was pretty well-known even at UT that he would not be a good QB in the pros. A friend of mine was on the scout team and it was known that Young was only smart enough to be able to handle one read. If his one read wasn’t there after the snap, his job was to make something happen with his feet. Making only one read in the NFL will get you ostracized at PFT and eventually cut. It would have been cut a lot sooner had Bud Adams stayed out of the football decisions. georgegabriel9 says:Apr 22, 2011 5:37 AM It’s a shame, really. Vince could have been good, and he showed flashes of it on the field. But his head was never in the right place, and mentally he’s just not right to be an NFL starting QB. There has been local sportwriters who have play large role in giving out mis-information on VY. David Climer been one of them this came from his live chats yesterday. BUD should have release him last February like said he would.VY need to get out this Town and State away from these Haters. Hope they get Kolb!!!!! David Climer live chat today: Comment From Guest Guest : ] what caused the kolb love feast? what has he accomplished? couldn’t even beat the titans.David Climer: He’s very well thought of in NFL circles. Plus, there aren’t that many great QBs in the league so middle-of-the-road guys stand out when teams are shopping.Comment From always learning always learning : ] So what happens if the lockout goes to July or August who are the titans bringing in to QB. David Climer: They’ll try to make a trade but the price is going to be high for Kolb. It could be another Kerry Collins season. (And I know you don’t want to hear that.) Comment From always learning always learning : kolb won 2 games loss 4 games in 2010, kerry won 3 games since 2008. VY is better than both. David Climer: Opinions are like noses … and other things. Comment From always learning always learning : ] so they have better record then VY? David Climer: I understand the infatuation with VInce Young by some, but he’s damaged goods with this organization. A change of venue might work out fine for him but unless he starts really working on his craft, he’s never going to achieve what he says he wants to achieve.We are giving him more of the book this year, more of the scheme,” Heimerdinger said. “There are things he can expand. He is better now on the intermediate and short throws. He’s ready to make more plays downfield. He’s in his fifth year, but really, this is only the second year we can put a full year together working together. He’s working hard and studying hard. And he still has that ability at quarterback to take off. That’s still a plus.”So much for David comment on VY working on his craft . 2009- 82.6 2010-98.6 about 16pt more in QB rating in 2010.30/17 record. So here we are ready to pay middle of the road QB big buck. OMG!!!! Delete jmak79 says:Apr 22, 2011 9:24 AM Vince Young, Adrian Peterson, Percy Harvin, Sidney Rice….all can take it to the house on any play. As a Viking fan, I would love to see what that four could do with a new coordinator that has been on record saying he plans his offense around the players talents. rc33 says:Apr 22, 2011 9:53 AM Between reported suicide alerts, his inability to handle any adversity and finally, tossing his shoulder pads into the stands (in effect, quitting on his team), I think I’ve seen enough of this guy to know I wouldn’t trust him as my QB. It’s an easy call, really. He’s got the maturity (and the smarts) of a 12 year-old. Talk all you want about his athleticism and W/L record, when you least need it to happen, he’ll bring out that 5-cent head of his, and screw things up. NFLJunkie says:Apr 22, 2011 5:52 PM thefiesty1 says: Apr 21, 2011 11:36 PM I can’t believe some of these comments knocking VY. He has a winning record at Tenessee of all places. ========================== Considering the Titans had their best season in the last five years the one year that Young was riding the bench, I don’t think you’re helping your cause here. And this is coming from someone who would be fine having Young as the starter in TN…..if he didn’t act like a spoiled child so much of the time.

Contents The day after Stella ran out on their wedding, Ted is unusually happy. The rest of his friends (other than Barney, who is happy Ted isn't married) are worried about him, thinking that he is repressing his emotions. Over the course of two weeks, the group tries to be there for Ted, but he insists he is fine. Eventually, the group becomes frustrated, and pushes him to unleash his emotions. Though he refuses, he does reveal that he has a map of New York to help him avoid running into Stella. Using the map, they decide to go to dinner at a restaurant recommended by one of Lily's friends. Unfortunately, it soon turns out that friend was actually Stella , who appears at the restaurant while the group is waiting to eat. Panicking, Ted ducks under the table, with the rest of the group reluctantly following his example. Stella places an order to go, so they decide to wait for her to leave. Lily tells Ted he is being stupid, and says he should face Stella. Ted replies that Lily would do the same thing in his position, if 'Gasser' walked in. Lily reveals that, in ninth grade, she was sat next to a boy named Michael Sasser, who was on the edge of becoming a cool kid. In one lesson, Lily accidentally lets out a loud fart, and rather than be embarrassed, blamed Sasser, giving him the nickname 'Gasser', and he was teased so badly he had to move schools. Back under the table, Lily says that if Michael were to walk in, she would go over and apologize, and face her fear, inviting Ted to do the same. Barney agrees, saying that there are plenty of women he slept with he doesn't want to see again, some of them for the very first time, but he still would not hide from them. Ted mentions Becca DiLucci, which seems to upset Barney. Becca is revealed to be a girl in prison Barney used to have sex with, during Conjugal visits. On one visit, Barney tried to chat up another inmate, "Barney Stinson, attorney at law. Lets talk about getting you off!", causing a fight to break out between Becca and the other inmate. Since then, Barney has received threats from Becca on multiple occasions. Ted decides that everyone wants to hide from someone, and that they should stay under the table until the problem goes away. Robin agrees with Ted, saying she would hide from her father if he were to walk in as well. Flashbacks show Robin's father to be disappointed to have a daughter instead of a son, though this doesn't change his plans, giving her the middle name Charles and taking her deer hunting at a young age. Things got worse, when Robin's father found her kissing one of her hockey team-mates when she was fourteen, and she decided to move in with her mom, after which she became Robin Sparkles. After hearing about how Robin's experience with her father messed her up, Ted realizes all his friends are haunted by problems in their past, but it wasn't too late for him to face up to his. He decides to talk to Stella, but finds she has already left. They hail a cab and follow her, but Ted still refuses to get mad, and instead wants to talk things out, despite protests from his friends. When they realize Stella isn't going back to New Jersey, but to Tony's apartment, he is enraged that she wouldn't move into the city for him, but would for Tony. Finally, Ted unleashes his emotions, to the joy of his friends. Ted imagines himself confronting Stella, and tells her she made the wrong choice, and should have been with him, as Tony will only let her down again. When he actually goes to talk to her, he sees her and Tony with their daughter, and decides that they were meant to be a family, his anger quickly subsiding. Future Ted announces that rather than swallowing your anger, or throwing it in someone's face, the best idea is to simply let it go, so you can move on. Finally, Ted gets rid of his map, so he can get on with his life. It's funny looking back on it now. I was so sure Stella was the one. And when she left me, I was so devastated. But you guys got me through it. And now the painful part's over, I've come out the other side a little bit stronger. You know, I hardly even think about her anymore. That's what time does, I guess. Lily: Ted, the wedding was yesterday. It's been twenty-four hours. Ted: You picked the wrong guy. Stella: Ted? Ted: You picked the wrong guy. You made a really, really, really bad choice. What were you thinking? That guy? Are you kidding me? Have you learned nothing in the last eight years? You're just gonna regret this. You know that, right? You are going to regret this, and now there is nothing you can do about it because it's too late. All you can do now is go up there and start your crappy, disappointing life that will never be nearly as happy as the one you could have had with me. Good-bye. Stella: Ted, wait. Ted: Look, Stella, I am not here to win you back. I am here because I need to know that you know you made the biggest mistake of your life. Stella: I know. Ted: Good. —Ted imagines confronting Stella Ted: (pointing to a map of New York City) Red areas, places to avoid. White areas are safe. Blue is water. Lily: That is just ridiculous! Robin: Well, water is blue. Future Ted: From that moment I wasn't angry anymore... Kids, you may think your only choices are to swallow your anger or throw it in someone's face, but there's a third option: You can just let it go, and only when you do that is it really gone and you can move forward. And that kids, was the perfect ending to a perfect love story. It just wasn't mine. Mine was still out there, waiting for me. Robin said she never played team sports in Slutty Pumpkin, which is contrary to the flashback to her hockey team visiting her house after a game. When referring to his break-up with Lily, the flashback shows Marshall with his current haircut rather than his shorter hair in Season 2. Robin compares how far you get on a date to hockey, saying "'the blue line' is kissing, 'the red line' is getting naked, and I think 'in the crease' speaks for itself." In hockey as you advance toward the goal you cross the red line first, then the blue line. Not a goof, there's two blue lines in hockey. Coming out of your own zone, you cross a blue line, then the red line, then another blue line before reaching the crease. She merely skips far blue line. It's still a goof if you're a real hockey fan because that first blue line is totally irrelevant as you advance toward the goal, but the one after the red line matters. Look, guys… you're both right. And you're both wrong. But holy mother of God, this is utterly insane. After revealing that Stella hated Star Wars, Marshall adds, "She lied to you. Search your feelings, Ted. You know it to be true." It is a parody of a line from Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. In Robin's flashback when her father (Eric Braeden) catches her making out with her hockey teammate, the cheesy organ followed by the dramatic overacting and piano background music is deliberate soap opera satire, playing on Braeden having played Victor Newman on The Young and the Restless for years. When they first arrive at the the restaurant where they accidentally meet Stella, a guitar can be heard in the background playing the phrase from Francisco Tárrega's Gran Vals that comprises the Nokia tune. The German episode title is "Unter dem Tisch", meaning "Under the Table". The French episode title is "Ils vécurent très heureux ... sans enfants", meaning "They Lived Very Happily... Without Children". International Airdates: Germany: December 12, 2009 on ProSieben; United Kingdom: January 21, 2010 on E4.

In recent years, various types of printing devices have become popular for both business and consumer use. In addition to traditional black and white printers, color printers, scanners, copiers, fax machines, and other components are now common. Multi-function peripherals (MFPs), that support two or more of these operations, are also widely available. As these devices have grown more prevalent, they are being used for processing of more sophisticated and complicated documents.

Differential display of mRNA by PCR. This unit outlines the polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based technique of mRNA differential display, which identifies genes that are differentially expressed between cells or tissues. The basic protocol describes the actual differential display PCR reaction along with details of the identification, reamplification, and cloning of candidate differentially expressed genes. A support protocol provides instructions on removing contaminating genomic DNA from the RNA samples and reverse transcribing the purified RNA to produce the cDNA used in the subsequent PCR reactions.

Technical Field The present invention relates to an exhaust heat recovery device structure. Related Art There is known a technique in which an exhaust heat recovery device is connected to an exhaust pipe that discharges gas generated by an internal combustion engine, and, due to heat exchange being carried out between cooling water and the gas, the cooling water is heated and warming-up of the internal combustion engine is promoted. As a structure of such an exhaust heat recovery device, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open (JP-A) No. 2006-161593 discloses a structure in which an exhaust heat recovery device and an engine (an internal combustion engine) are connected by a heater warm water path, and cooling water is circulated between the exhaust heat recovery device and the engine.

Mecca-Cola much like most Moslem, Muslim or Islamic customs, it is considered a normal practise to plagiarise, steal or rape other people’s ideas and products for their own benefit. Please see The Prophet Muhammad. Mecca-Cola is a typical product targeted around Muslim hate. Yes you to can hate America, The Jews and anyone else who has managed to achieve wealth by buying a can of Mecca-Cola. French Muslim Entrepreneur Mr. Mathlouthi a Muslim came up with an idea of Mecca-Cola to cash in on anti-American and Anti-Jew sentiment from around the world by ripping off Coca-Cola. Mr. Mathlouthi justifies ripping off Coca-Cola by of course using Islam as an excuse. Naturally when you buy Mecca-Cola money goes towards Muslim interests in destroying Jerusalem, America and other nations that do not support Islam. Please see Communism and Religion, then mix them together and you got Islam. The word Mecca in Mecca-Cola is focused around the holiest city of Islam located in Saudi Arabia. The Muslim thought it was a great idea to steal Coca-Cola from The Jews and try and make it their own by changing it to Mecca-Cola. Please see The Prophet Muhammad. It was a total dogs act that not only the Muslims stole our Christian Bible but now are stealing our Coke to fund terrorism! Fucking shit eating pig fuckers!!! The idea of Mecca-Cola came about in the 21-century by Muslim entrepreneurs and was made feasible by the widespread anti-American and anti-Israeli sentiment created after the beginning of the first Intifada (Palestinian uprising) and before, and during the war on Iraq. It was also made feasible by the widespread boycotts against American icons like Coca-cola and McDonalds (which has hundreds of chains in Saudi Arabia alone), due to the belief that a percentage of their profit was being donated to Israel (because they believed they were "Jewish-owned", or "Christian Zionist-owned", which in turn would use it for military purposes against the Palestinians. An illustration which was very popular in the Arab world at one time had pictures of various American products with the price next to it and a calculation of the number of bullets it can buy, read: Palestinian child killed. This illustration, amongst other solgans, helped fuel the boycott of American products, and the idea of Mecca Cola, as well as other various named Colas, and word plays on Fanta, Seven Up, Miranda, etc, that allude to Arabic or Islamic culture. There are countless Mecca-Cola wanabees, although none, not even Mecca-Cola, can hold any comparison to the popularity of Coca-Cola and Pepsi in the Arab world. If anything, Arabs have a very short memory.

Small bowel obstruction caused by congenital transmesenteric defect. Transmesenteric hernias are extremely rare. A strangulated hernia through a mesenteric opening is a rare operative finding. Preoperative diagnosis still is difficult in spite of the imaging techniques currently available. The authors describe two cases of paediatric patients presenting with bowel obstruction resulting from a congenital mesenteric hernia. The first patient had a 3-cm wide congenital defect in the ileal mesentery through which the sigmoid colon had herniated. The second patient is a newborn infant who presented with symptoms and radiographic evidence of neonatal occlusion. At surgical exploration, a long segment of the small bowel had herniated in a defect in the ileal mesentery. A brief review of epidemiology and anatomy of transmesenteric hernias is included, along with a discussion of the difficulties in diagnosis and treatment of this condition.

Well worth a watch on the NFC West blog. They're basically talking about the Jets but to hear the commentators, Skip Bayless, Stephen A Smith and Christian Fauria tell it, it's going to be an absolutely murderous game. And the Jets are toast. In fairness largenutz, they were talking about the Jets for ten minutes. That fact that they were all in agreement that the Seahawks were going to kick their asses was just a coincidence. Feel free to continue to claim east coast media bias. As much as I hate Christian Fauria, Stephan A Smith, and Skip Bayless I enjoy a little love from them. Except from Christian Fauria, that guy is just the worst... "Oh they'd annhilate him, they'd annhilate him, oh please, it would be a massacre" Stephan A on Tebow playing against the Hawks. The funniest part though was when Stephan A started asking if he could make a prediction, Skip just quietly replies "you already did..." He looked so exasperated with Stephan A haha. Perhaps the only time I would feel bad for Skip is when having to do a round table discussion with Stephan A Smith... Is there some trick to watching the video? All I'm getting is black screen in the video box. 49ers webzone: Win or lose, i hope you injure Sherman. Like a serious career ending injury.

Last night at 3 a.m. I called all my friends individually just to scream, “EMINEM JUST DROPPED AN ALBUM, THIS IS NOT A DRILL.” Needless to say, I no longer have any friends. Eminem is my favorite artist, but Eminem stans can be SUPER obnoxious. If I wanted to hang out with spoiled, suburban white kids who were always angry for no reason, I’d hang out with myself. But in 2018, Shady has never been more violently polarizing. You can't tweet “I like Eminem” without a furious army of young rap fans kidnapping your grandmother and sending you the ransom note that reads, “Say Eminem is trash or you’ll never see Barbara again.” Last year, Eminem dropped Revival, an album that was widely considered a massive misfire. His lyric “Your booty is heavy duty like diarrhea” was such a national tragedy that Bruce Springsteen did a charity concert for the victims and their families. Revival became Exhibit A for why Eminem is a falling star, crashing down from his legendary status with the velocity of a drunken helicopter pilot. So what did Eminem do? He got REALLY angry, got in a booth, rapped his ass off, and called it Kamikaze. I say this positively: the rapping on this album is fucking exhausting. Em barfs bars at a dizzying pace, sounding like he’s about to physically explode into a giant cloud of “Eminem Is Still Problematic” Buzzfeed thinkpieces. I’m convinced Eminem has never taken a breath in his life. Make no mistake, Kamikaze is a 45-minute response to all the Revival backlash. Eminem apparently read every negative Revival review 97 times while doing jumping jacks and smoking bath salts through a firehose. He’s rapping like his career depends on it. He’s rapping like someone pulled a gun on him and told him to spit the craziest bars possible or else he’ll have to share a hotel room with Louis C.K. for a weekend. And he never stops dropping names the whole time. He mentions Donald Trump, the 45th president of the United States, Mike Pence (probably the 46th president of the United States) and even Lil Yachty (definitely the 47th president of the United States). Em talks about mumble rappers the way Trump talks about immigrants; I kept expecting him to propose a plan that we build a wall around mumble rappers and make Young Thug pay for it. He sounds like the rap equivalent of a seventh grader who found out his family is moving next year and is no longer afraid to tell his classmates he’s always hated them. I have a list of all the people I heard Slim diss on this album. I probably forgot some names but here’s who I remember (in no particular order): Joe Budden Charlamagne Tha God DJ Akademiks Tyler, The Creator Earl Sweatshirt Machine Gun Kelly Lord Jamar Drake Lil Pump Lil Xan Lil Yachty The GRAMMYs Donald Trump Mike Pence French existentialist philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre My uncle Dave Your uncle Dave That one teacher who always said, “The bell doesn’t dismiss you, I do.” Garfield Marmaduke People who still think Jamba Juice is good for you The country of Switzerland The entire cast of Saved by the Bell And that’s literally just the first 30 seconds of the opening track. I had to re-listen to the whole album to make sure he didn’t diss me, too. The best way to describe Kamikaze is with that famous climactic scene from Training Day. Imagine that Denzel is Eminem, speaking to the rap world. But despite anyone’s opinions on the album, I will never forgive Marshall for what he just did to my social life. I woke up this morning to dozens of texts from my buddies expressing their anger about these voicemails. This is what I'm dealing with here: HANNAH, 9:34 a.m. “u really left me a voicemail at 3 JUST to tell me that there’s a new Eminem album?! I thought there was an emergency, what the fuck is wrong with u” ERIK, 10:17 a.m. “Dude, if I was trapped in a room and the only way I could leave is if I listened to the new Eminem album, I'd move in.” MOM, 10:33 a.m. “Drew, I saw that you left a 3 am voicemail and got worried sick.. then I noticed it was just about an Eminem album? For years I wanted to tell you this..... you were a mistake.” GRANDPA, 11:06 a.m. “For the last time, your grandfather is dead and this is no longer his phone number. Please stop contacting this number. -Frank” JON, 11:37 a.m. “BRO. STOP WITH THE DRUNKEN VOICEMAILS. It was funny at first but its getting PATHETIC. U need to get ur fuckin life together...btw I agree this album is better than Revival.” For more sponsored hip-hop video content like this, subscribe to the ADM YouTube channel here.

Overall: Jungle Love has some good scenes like Ashley's, Nyomi's, and Judy's. This title, if it goes into a series, has a promising future. DVD Quality: It's good. Extras: The solo and interview scenes sometimes overlap the main scenes so it would be difficult to completely say that these are extras. The photo gallery would have been better if it it was full-screen. LIKES: Ashley Long and Nyomi Marcela DISLIKES: Princess Ashley Long Ashley, the 6 foot Brit, parades around the house wearing her Britney Spears inspired private school uniform. The camera gets up and personal and records her every movement during the tease. The action finally starts in the bathroom where she deepthroats his chocolate monster. After the very nasty blowjob accompanied by dirty talk, she takes his cock doggy style. He busts her lips wide open. While her pussy takes a rest, he inserts an anal probe and ties a collar on her neck. When he sees fit that the probe has dilated her ass, he stuffs her ass with his schlong and thrusts away. It is a furious anal assault judging by how fast and deep he fucks. Finally, she sucks him dry making sure she gets every drop of spunk. Princess Her looks are below average and I would strongly agree for her to change her movie name from Princess to something more true-to-life. In her interview included in the extras, she cannot wait to perform with the legendary Mandingo. His long dick busts her wide open in ways that she never thought possible. She's so into the sex that she reverts to her Spanish begging for "papi." She grinds his cock and takes him balls deep when she is in the reverse cowgirl. Finally, she spits out the huge cum shot blast that he produces. You would think that she would be spent from the scene, but she rides him a bit longer. Britney The 19-year-old Aussie has playful demeanor, which she uses it to her advantage. Her spunky quality reminds me of Anna Belle, but Britney is better skilled at sucking cock, especially since she wants to make her first experience with a black man memorable. One noticeable turn-off is her ass pimples. Anyway, her ass needs opening up with the help of anal beads and a butt plug before she takes up the chocolate dipstick. He returns fucking her tight pussy and unloads on her smiling face! Nyomi Marcela Since she looks so similar to the previous Indonesian pornstar, Jade Marcela, Nyomi has taken the same last name. For an Asian, she has a nice booty! The camera records nice shots of her pussy and ass from below. She dresses into her pink skirt and knee high stockings and she starts to fuck herself with a dildo until she climaxes and falls asleep. While she sleeps, her peeping tom neighbor breaks into her apartment and gropes her. His unwanted touches make her react negatively, but he convinces her that she wants a good time. Her sexy looks and body make him so turned on that once she unzips him, she is ready to take his erect cock into her inviting mouth. She makes an effort to get most of him down, but it is futile because of her small mouth and his girthy penis. Nonetheless, she makes an admirable effort. I would imagine that all the fucking has made her pussy sore, but she takes it all with stride, especially the fast doggy fucking. Finally, she cleans his knob-off with excellent fellatio. Judy Star Judy Star, the French-Canadian, normally bleaches her hair blonde, but she turns herself into an adult anime star with her neon pink hair. Unlike the other scenes, there are no set-ups or interviews. Instead, the scene begins with Judy knob-gobbling on two black dicks. It would have been a better scene if one of the men would just keep his mouth shut. In the middle of the scene, one of them cannot prevent splurging any longer and cums on her stomach. The scene resumes for good threesome action until another man joins the fun. They make sure they make her airtight by plugging her holes with meat. Finally, she takes two facials! Chelsea Luv Chelsea Luv, who looks like an elder version of Inari Vachs, clocks in at age 26. She plays a sexy real estate agent that will do anything to close the deal. The black prospective home buyer is reluctant to buy the house because of the high price, but she is willing to offer "incentives." Things get more heated near the kitchen sink where she gives a very steamy deepthroat session. Her blowjob technique is superior to the other women on the DVD. They take the sex to the living room where she brings out the toys to pleasure her pussy and ass. Chelsea gets fucked hard in her pussy and then her ass. She shows how nasty she can be by performing ass-to-mouth. In hopes of closing the deal, she lets him shoot his thick load all over her face. But, alas, she gets the bad side of the deal because he isn't ready to commit because he has other agents to "meet." Parting Thoughts: The DVD is worth a perusal because of Ashley Long and Nyomi Marcela.

Breitbart editor Milo Yiannopoulos has encouraged harassment of a transgendered student, egged on the misogynistic Gamergate movement, flirted with the alt right movement, and been banned from Twitter for bullying Leslie Jones. Yet despite these controversies, Yiannopoulos seems to have had a banner year, from signing a mammoth book deal to being asked to serve as the keynote speaker for this year's Conservative Political Action Conference. That all may change, however, after an old Yiannopoulos interview emerged, one in which he seemingly defended sex with minors. Advertisement: "In the homosexual world particularly, some of those relationships between younger boys and older men the sort of coming of age relationships relationships in which those older men have helped those young boys to discover who they are and give them security and safety and provide them with love and a reliable — and sort of a rock where they can’t speak to their parents," Yiannopoulos said during an interview with The Drunken Peasants. Yiannopoulos went on to say: "You’re misunderstanding what pedophilia means. Pedophilia is not a sexual attraction to somebody 13 years old, who is sexually mature. Pedophilia is attraction to children who have not reached puberty. Pedophilia is attraction to people who don’t have functioning sex organs yet who have not gone through puberty." Another clip posted by The Reagan Battalion showed Yiannopoulos perpetuating Jewish stereotypes. In the clip, he argued to Dave Rubin of The Rubin Report that "it's a statistical fact, Jews own most of the banks, Jews completely dominate the media, vastly disproportionately represented in all of these professions." Advertisement: In a Facebook post defending himself, Yiannopoulos insisted that he doesn't support pedophilia and views it as "a vile and disgusting crime, perhaps the very worst." He denounces the videos as "selectively edited," even though The Reagan Battalion posted unedited clips. Milo also characterized his statements about "boys" as "sloppy phrasing." In addition, Yiannopoulos claimed that he outed three pedophiles during his career. He said he repeatedly denounced pedophilia in the past, but stood by his statement that "there are relationships between younger men and older men that can help a young gay man escape from a lack of support or understanding at home." "I was not talking about anything illegal and I was not referring to pre-pubescent boys,"Yiannopoulos wrote. He argued that his comment about learning how to give good blowjobs from a priest was an "edgy way" of coping with a sex crime perpetrated against him as a teenager, comparing it to the "gallows humor" displayed by individuals who have AIDS. Advertisement: Yiannopoulos' terminology is technically correct — someone who is sexually attracted to pubescent children (11 to 14) is a hebephile. Someone who is attracted to adolescents is an ephebophile. Nevertheless, it is still illegal in most parts of the Western world for an adult to have sex with a minor, a practice that Yiannopoulos was accused of defending in the clips.

Phosphorylation of proteins is essential in intracellular signal transduction pathways in eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. Histidine phosphorylation plays an important role in two-component signal transduction in bacteria. In this study, we describe the characterization of a synthetic histidine-phosphorylated peptide with four different mass spectrometric (MS) fragmentation techniques: Collision-induced dissociation (CID), electron capture dissociation, electron-transfer dissociation, and electron detachment dissociation. Furthermore, LC-MS methods were developed to detect histidine-phosphorylated peptides, which are acid-labile, in more complex samples. From these results, we concluded that nonacidic solvent systems or fast LC methods provide the best conditions for separation of histidine-phosphorylated peptides prior to electrospray ionization mass spectrometry analysis. Electron-based fragmentation methods should be used for determination of histidine phosphorylation sites, since CID results in very facile phosphate-related neutral losses. The developed LC-MS/MS methods were successfully applied to a tryptic digest of the cytoplasmic part of the histidine kinase EnvZ, which was in vitro autophosphorylated. Finally, a new method is described for nonretentive solid-phase extraction of histidine-phosphorylated peptides using polymeric Strata-X microcolumns.

16-year-old Essex student Lauren Marbe, who took the MENSA test for fun with other students from Roding Valley High School in Loughton, scored a 161: one point higher than the MENSA scores of Stephen Hawking, Bill Gates and Albert Einstein. In the UK, the average score is around 100. Awesome. I live for this shit. Less awesome: The fact that the main reaction of everybody in Marbe's life seems to be "But you don't look like a genius!" Brain explodes. Straight-A student Marbe, who is currently deciding between pursuing an architecture major at the University of Cambridge and becoming a West End drama performer, says: "I am blonde, I do wear make-up and I do go out. I love my fake tan and fake nails as well so I guess I am a bit of an Essex girl in that sense. I watch TOWIE and I love the programme, it's addictive but now most people do seem to think that's what everyone in Essex is like. I love living in Essex and I'm glad that I might be able to show people that we aren't all ditzy and blonde." Let's look at this the other way: a 16-year-old boy who happens to be "conventional-looking" rings in at a 161 IQ. Do you think anyone's incredulously bringing up his looks as an oxymoron? No. Despite her good grades, Lauren's teachers didn't seem to find her particularly exceptional ("They had always thought I was blonde and a bit ditzy"), but now, her mother Sue Marbe says, "'All her teachers have been coming up to her and saying they didn't realize how intelligent she actually was." Marbe herself says that she and her husband David were "blown away" by Lauren's score: "Living in this area there is a lot of pressure to be the stereotypical Essex girl but she has a real nice support from the other girls. Most of the time Essex gets a bit of a negative press. People think all girls are blonde and all girls are dim. Lauren is blonde but it does seem like she has shaken the stereotype that all Essex girls are stupid." Although this is hardly the last time that Marbe's intelligence will be undermined due to her appearance, that doesn't make it any less frustrating that the focus of this attention is on the so-called "contrast" between her looks and her IQ. You're smarter than all of them, Lauren Marbe. Get it, girl. 'The Essex blonde Towie fan who's officially smarter than Albert Einstein! Lauren, 16, scores a whopping 161 on IQ test' [Daily Mail] Advertisement

Presents He glanced at her with confusion spreading across his beautifully delicate features. "It's your birthday today," she explained. "Yeah?" he frowned. "I want to give you a birthday present," she repeated. "Oh well, thank you," he smiled, "But really, you don't have to do that." He smiled at her appreciatively, and tried to walk away before she could proceed with her offering. He felt bad taking gifts from strangers, and he certainly didn't want whatever it was she had to offer if it came with the price of neverending guilt. She ran after him and placed a tiny hand onto his shoulder. "I'm propositioning you," she stated matter-of-factly, causing him to stop in his tracks. His entire face got flushed. "Excuse me?" "I am propositioning you," she repeated. "You're not making it easy, either." He glanced her up and down. Her legs seemed to go on forever, ending in a little plaid skirt complete with punk patches sewn across it's edges. Her tube top was form-fitted to her firm young breasts- clearly she was wearing no bra. Her outfit completed by platform boots that made her nearly his own 6', she was a gorgeous young vixen who was completely out of place at this show and in his life. Girls like this didn't go for boys like him, and they certainly didn't stalk him, offering him their bodies as birthday gifts. And how old was she, really? he wondered. Certainly nowhere's near his own twenty-two years. That made her jailbait and her offer illegal to accept. He wrinkled his nose and scratched his temple as he glanced back at the beautiful girl. "I'm really sorry," he sighed. "But I'm not like that." He turned to leave. "Sure you are," she called. He turned back to her and glared. "No, I'm not. I appreciate the offer, but no thanks." "Billy?" she called. "You fucked me last year when you guys played here! Don't tell me you're not like all the rest, because you are." He shook his head and massaged his temples. Why was this happening? On today of all days. Fuck, he just wanted to celebrate his birthday on the bus, with a nice warm game controller in his hands, and Silverchair blasting in his ears. "I what?" he grimaced. "We fucked!" she squealed. "You guys played at this little bar near here, and you and I spent the night in your hotelroom afterward." "Sure," Billy nodded. He knew she was lying, he didn't do things like that. "You don't believe me, do you?" she shrieked. "You asshole!" "I believe you," he tried to smile. "I just...." "You don't remember?" she cried. "I'm Mandy! You told me I was the most beautiful girl you ever met, and then you went down on....." The girls ocean blue eyes were filled with tears as she glanced up and sniffled. "But?" "I really have to go!" he sighed. "I'm sorry." She watched as he practically ran away from her and jumped onto the waiting tour bus. * * * * * * * * * * * * * "Lil Billy?" Benji yelled as he banged on the hotelroom door loudly. "Lil Billy, open up!" Billy grumbled and waddled to the door, throwing it open to see his ecstatic bandmate waiting outside. "Why the fuck are you so happy at...." Billy glanced at the clock...."Seven in the morning?" "That's a long story, my friend," Benji grinned. "But it culminates with what I'm about to show you!" "Okay?" Billy questioned, unamused. Benji motioned for Billy to follow him. "Come on!" Billy toddled around the hall behind Benji, barely able to walk, let alone think straight at this hour. The life of a touring musician was such that he rarely saw seven a.m., and never was it with a smile. "You're gonna love this," Benji giggled. "This is brilliant!" "It couldn't have waited?" Billy grumbled. "No," Benji spat as he threw open his room's door. #667, Billy noted. So close. Billy stood just outside the doorway, trying to see inside the dimly lit room. He walked down the long corridor of the suite, and entered into the main room- the bedroom. In the center of the room, a naked female body was strewn across the large four-poster bed. Billy tried to see her face, but couldn't; it was obscured under a large tuft of blonde hair. "Now, this is the brilliant part," Benji giggled. He walked towards the small body, and began to crawl over her. He stopped his movement and ducked his head down over his face, whispering something softly into her ear. "Mmm," she moaned, coming to life and pushing her blonde locks from her face. Billy gazed in horror at the sight before him. This was the girl from yesterday. The slut. Mandy was her name. "Tell Billy what you told me," Benji chided, a look of sheer amusement crossing his face. She grinned and turned toward Billy. "Hi." "Hi," Billy rasped with aggitation. "What's this about?" "So short tempered," she mocked. "What's your problem?" "You!" Billy sneered. "I asked you nicely to go away." "I did," she corrected. Billy shook his head and turned to leave. "Billy?" she called into the darkness of the room. He didn't even pause, he simply kept walking. "I'd really hate for the police to find out that I was raped by a much older man when I was only fifteen," she yelled. Billy stopped dead. His blood ran cold, his heart skipped a beat. What had she just said? "You know, cause my parents would probably kill me for putting myself into the situation in the first place. Unfortunately, I know that I never expected it to happen the way it did." Billy walked back into the room. "What?" he winced. "I'd hate for the police to find out how old I was when you fucked me last year," she grinned. "You'd probably end up in jail, Billy." He'd had enough. "Seems to me that you just fucked Benji here," Billy began. "If you were fifteen last year, that makes you sixteen right now, huh? I doubt the police would take too kindly to that, either. Eh, Benji?" Benji turned ghostly pale. "Probably not," she giggled. "Forgive my short temper, but what the fuck do you want from me, Mandy?" Billy spat. "You want to fuck me? Fine! Fuck me! Then fuck off and leave me alone!" Mandy shook her head slowly, rising off the bed and walking towards him. "I want what I came for," she grinned. "I came for you, and I want you!" Billy looked her over with disgust, then turned to his bandmate who sat watching in horror on the bed. "Why the fuck did you wake me up for this shit?" he demanded. "She fuckin, dude, she," Benji stuttered. "She told me you two had fucked....She said we could share. Dude, I was thinking you'd be glad." Billy shook his head and rolled his eyes. "I don't do that shit, Benji! I don't....Fuck this." He turned and headed for the door. Mandy ran after him. "I'm serious, Billy Martin! You get your dick back in this hotelroom right now and fuck me, or I'm calling the cops!" "Doesn't that seem sort of...defeatest?" Billy mumbled. "WHAT?" she shrieked. He spun around quickly, backing her against the wall. He glared down into her gorgeous eyes and huffed. "I fuck you now, what's to stop you from going to the police right afterwards? Huh? You're sixteen years old!" "It's a tough life being a rockstar," she chided, patting his shoulder. "I understand." "Fuck off!" he roared and stormed from the room. * * * * * * * * * * * * * "Lil Billy?" someone yelled as they banged on his hotelroom door loudly. "Lil Billy, open up!" Billy grumbled and pulled a pillow over his head, phasing out the rude awakening. "Billy, the police are here!" came another holler from outside. He shot up in bed and stared at the door. Had he just heard what he thought his bandmate had said? He stood up, brushed off his boxers, and began to hobble towards the door. Fuck this, every morning it was something worse. He stood with his shoulder to the door and listened. He heard some movement outside. "Joel? Who's out there?" he called. "Bill?" Joel yelled back. "Dude, the police are waiting in the lobby and they're not happy! What the fuck did you do?" "I didn't do shit," Billy hissed as he threw open the door. He stared at Joel, who stared back at his half-clothed body. "This isn't good, Bill," Joel sighed, stepping forward and shutting the door behind himself. "They're talking to Paul and Chris right now, but apparently, some girl says that you and Benji raped her last night." "WHAT?" Billy shrieked, his eyes bulging from their usual sockets. Joel gestured for Billy to take a seat. "Calm down, bro. Calm down." "Calm down?" Billy growled. "CALM DOWN? How, Joel? Would you calm down if it were me giving you this news?" Billy began to pace the room, running his hands eratically through his hair. He was twitching, he could feel his heart racing. "I don't feel so good," he moaned as he ran for the bathroom. "Bill?" Joel yelled, making it into the bathroom just in time to see Billy release into the toilet. "You okay?" Joel asked softly after Billy had finished heaving. "No," Billy sighed. "If I could right now, I would probably cry." "Well," Joel frowned, reaching down and cradling his friend in his arms, "If you need to do that, I'll understand." "Joel?" Billy sniffled. Joel smoothed hair from Billy's eyes, pushing it back into place behind his ears. "Yeah, buddy?" "I'm fucked!" Billy sobbed. Then came the tears. * * * * * * * * * * * * * He woke up that morning, stretching his limbs and staring out the window to the beautiful day that awaited him. It had been raining for weeks. He felt like this was his very first time witnessing sunshine, and he rolled forward so that he could feel its warmth envelope his naked body.

LAS VEGAS, Nevada (Reuters) - Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather Jr. declared a truce on Wednesday after weeks of vicious verbal attacks, offering praise instead of profanities at the final press conference ahead of their much anticipated fight. Since the fight between undefeated boxer Mayweather and mixed martial arts champion McGregor was announced in June, the two men took part in a profanity laced world tour to hype a bout that has been met with both skepticism and excitement. The final press conference ahead of Saturday’s fight, however, was closer to a love-in than a battle field with Mayweather, in particular, complimenting the man who has questioned everything from his manhood to his fashion sense. “Conor McGregor had a hell of a career, he’s still got a hell of a career,” said Mayweather. “He’s a hell of a fighter, he’s a stand up guy, a tough competitor. “It’s not going to be an easy fight. There will be blood sweat and tears Saturday.” McGregor was far less effusive in his compliments but after months of mercilessly attacking Mayweather said he welcomed the pause in hostilities. “There’s been a lot of crazy press conferences, this is a lot more subdued, a lot more business like the way I like it ... sometimes,” said McGregor. Slideshow ( 9 images ) After the two had turned the air blue with profanity during the earlier media tour, Mayweather went the entire press conference on Wednesday without swearing. McGregor could not hold his tongue but saved his venom for a member of Mayweather’s “Money Team” who taunted him from the audience, telling him he was going to be knocked out. “Not by you, whoever you are,” countered McGregor. “Tell that bitch to shut up,” the Irishman growled while looking at Mayweather, who later chastised the member of his team. The restrained tone of Wednesday’s media conference underscored the high stakes of what is expected to be the richest fight in boxing with McGregor in line for $100 million payday and Mayweather as much as $200 million. While boxing purists and pundits have denounced the fight as nothing more than a laughable cash grab it has nonetheless captured the fascination of fans. Showtime executive Stephen Espinoza said the fight, which will be distributed in more than 200 countries, is on pace to smash pay per view records. Slideshow ( 9 images ) While the fiery rhetoric was toned down, both remain confident of the outcome. “I will go forward, I will put the pressure on him and break this old man,” said McGregor, who said he expected to end the 12-round bout inside two rounds. “Trust me on that. “I am going to out box this man at his own game.” The only message Mayweather had for McGregor was his record reminding him that he was trying to do something that no one has ever been able to do; beat him. “I know one thing I can do I can fight,” said Mayweather. “I can give it and I can take it “But for me to be 49-0 it is obvious I have been giving it and not receiving it. “Anything and everything in boxing that can be done, I’ve done it. I was born a fighter, I will die a fighter.”

Schlock & Awe: HELL COMES TO FROGTOWN Share: A good title is hard to come by, even if that title doesn’t mean anything until you see the movie in question. The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is the gold standard for these, of course, and even that’s actually a bit of a misnomer (only one damn person is killed with a chain saw in the whole damn movie!) but at least you know roughly why it might bear such a moniker. 1988’s Hell Comes to Frogtown is a fantastic title and you have no idea what it might mean if you haven’t seen or heard of the movie. I’ll tell you what it means: there’s a town full of frogs, and Hell comes to it. It’s as simple as that. That it’s attached to a post-apocalyptic action comedy starring “Rowdy’ Roddy Piper is just icing on the cake. Hell Comes to Frogtown is a movie I’d heard only mere whispers of in my many years of watching dumb movies but after a friend recommended it highly, I was compelled to track it down, which took all of two seconds because the internet is a thing. I was delighted to learn this was a New World picture, that being the company started by Roger Corman, and was one of a handful of 80-some-minute-long low-budget action movies they produced to capitalize on the drive-in public’s love of women wearing very little and some man shooting guns at other men. What a triumph! There’s a lot of The Road Warrior and Escape from New York about this movie, but with the requisite amount of perviness so you know it’s made by New World. In the distant future, nuclear war has resulted in most of the populace having died out and severe mutations happening to those who have survived. Almost every “normal” person is infertile and the future of the human race is in some serious jeopardy. Luckily, there’s Sam Hellman (Piper), known affectionately as Sam Hell. Since the war, he’s gone around and slept with all the women he could find and reports are that he’s made several of them pregnant. After being apprehended by his latest conquest’s police-state-serving father (William Smith), Hell is taken by the all-female MedTechs to be tested for fertility. He’s EXTRA fertile, so they want him to go around the desert wasteland looking for similarly fertile women to impregnate. Decent gig if you can get it, except Sam is fitted with an electronic chastity belt of sorts; if he tries to “do anything” without approval, if he tries to run away, or if he really does anything at all, he’ll get shocked followed by an exploding of his bits. Ouch. His handler for this mission is the chippy MedTech Spangle (Sandahl Bergman) who is ordered to use her attractiveness and ability to wear ’80s lingerie to keep Sam aroused but not active until it’s for the good of society. They are also joined by Centinella (Cec Verrell), an attractive woman who is good at shooting guns, which you know by the fact that her hair is short and she’s always carrying or laying on a gun. They rove the desert in a bright pink Studebaker with a sunroof for a massive machine gun searching for women. They eventually get one, who of course gets gotten by Sam (who protests to the artifice of it all… he’s a romantic, you guys) and she tells them that four pacifist fertiles have been kidnapped and brought to Frogtown to be sold as slaves. Now, Frogtown… it’s exactly what you’d think: a town made up of mutated frog people. (That’s what you think, right? It’s not just me?) Using Spangle as a faux hostage, Hell has to make contact with the slave trader Leroy who is aided by human drifter Looney Tunes (Rory Calhoun), an old friend of Hell’s. Unfortunately, the trade is stopped by the right-hand man of Commander Toty, the head frog in these parts, and a man who wants nothing more than to see Hell’s junk explode. He also wants Spangle to perform the Dance of the Three Snakes, which is a reveal I won’t spoil here for a million lilies. The film is only 86 minutes long, which is very common for a New World Picture, but it covers a lot of ground, and yet kind of drags a little bit. By time they get to Frogtown and it looks like it’s nearly the end of the movie, it’s actually only about 55 minutes in. Quite strange to feel completed with a story before the hour mark. There’s a lot of time spent with Spangle either trying to seduce Sam and him rebuking her, or her trying to seduce him and succeeding only for it to have been an exercise and resulting in his wang getting shocked. There’s very little nudity in the movie, though, despite all the scantily-clad women. Centinella gets her kit off as she also tries to seduce Sam, but they’re stopped by Spangle before that happens. That’s kind of it, which for a film of this kind made for this production company in this decade, is incredibly restrained. Frogtown itself, at least what we see of it, is really just a warehouse/bar/thing and it seems to consist of two different types of frogs: the average ones which are people wearing elaborate makeup, like the character of Arabella who is a frog stripper who is helping the good guys retrieve the kidnapped girls, and the ruling class which are guys wearing puppet frog heads which look pretty good but don’t have the best mobility or articulation. Still, for a movie of this scale, these effects are pretty spectacular and really help sell the conceit, which is never really explained beyond “Frogtown” being the name of a place. “Rowdy” Roddy Piper was having a banner year in 1988. Not only does he make this movie, in which he’s portrayed as the most fit and virile man in the entire world, but he also made John Carpenter’s They Live which is obviously a much better movie, but one where he also gets to shine as an actor. He’s limited, yes, but within those limits he gives a good, surprisingly sensitive performance, through his professional wrestler howling and yelling in a thick Saskatoon accent. Hell Comes to Frogtown will probably never be on the top of anyone’s list of sci-fi/action movies, even from the ’80s, but it’s a surprisingly fun, surprisingly not stupid movie with a lot of humor and a good central performance by Roddy Piper. Sandahl Bergman is really not good, so that’s a shame, but you can kind of overlook it given the overall tone and scope of the thing. It’s a movie where frog people have guns and kidnap scantily-clad women only to be saved by a WWF wrestler; I think one bad actress won’t spoil anything.

Risk Factors in Preschool Children for Predicting Asthma During the Preschool Age and the Early School Age: a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. The aim of this study was to identify risk factors of asthma among children < 6 years old (preschool age) for predicting asthma during the preschool age and early school age (≤ 10 years of age). MEDLINE, Cochrane, EMBASE, and Google Scholar databases were searched until June 30, 2017. Prospective or retrospective cohort and case-control studies were included. Studies had to have evaluated risk factors or a predictive model for developing asthma in children ≤ 6 years of age or persistent asthma in early school age. A total of 17 studies were included in the analysis. Factors associated with developing asthma in children ≤ 10 years of age (both pre-school and early school age) included male gender (pooled OR = 1.70, P < 0.001), atopic dermatitis (pooled OR = 2.02, P < 0.001), a family history of asthma (pooled OR = 2.20, P < 0.001), and serum IgE levels ≥ 60 kU/l or having specific IgE (pooled OR = 2.36, P < 0.001). A history of exposure to smoke or wheezing was also associated with persistent asthma in early school age (pooled OR = 1.51, P = 0.030 and pooled OR = 2.59, P < 0.001, respectively). In general, asthma predictive models (e.g., API, PIAMA, PAPS) had relatively low sensitivity (range, 21% to 71.4%) but high specificity (range, 69% to 98%). The study found that male gender, exposure to smoke, atopic dermatitis, family history of asthma, history of wheezing, and serum IgE level ≥ 60 kU/l or having specific IgE were significantly associated with developing asthma by either preschool or early school age. Asthma predictive models can be developed by those risk factors.

Synthesis of a base-stabilized silanone-coordinated complex by oxygenation of a (silyl)(silylene)tungsten complex. Base-stabilized silanone complex Cp*(OC)(2)W(SiMe(3)){O═SiMes(2)(DMAP)} (2) was synthesized by the reaction of (silyl)(silylene)tungsten complex Cp*(OC)(2)W(SiMe(3))(═SiMes(2)) (1) with 1 equiv of pyridine-N-oxide (PNO) in the presence of 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine (DMAP). Further oxygenation of 2 with 3 equiv of PNO at 80 °C resulted in the formation of a W-O-Si-O-Si framework to give disiloxanoxy complex Cp*(O)(2)W{OSiMes(2)(OSiMe(3))} (3). Complex 3 was also obtained by the direct reaction of complex 1 with 4 equiv of PNO at 80 °C.

Walk Me Home Walk Me Home may refer to: "Walk Me Home" (Mandy Moore song), 1999 "Walk Me Home" (Pink song), 2019

Here is what so many Islam apologists are enabling to happen in Australia and much of the rest of the world. As a woman, I strenuously object to this sexist and misogynistic ideology festering in enlightened societies, which formerly have been the haven for people escaping just such oppression. They ask you about menstruation. Say: “It is an indisposition. Keep aloof from women during their menstrual periods and do not approach them until they are clean again; when they are clean, have intercourse with them whence God enjoined you….” (Quran 2:222) Men have authority over women because God has made the one superior to the other, and because they spend their wealth to maintain them. Good women are obedient. They guard their unseen parts because God has guarded them. As for those from whom you fear disobedience, admonish them and forsake them in beds apart, and beat them. (Quran 4:34) A male shall inherit twice as much as a female. (Quran 4:11) Call in two male witnesses from among you, but if two men cannot be found, then one man and two women whom you judge fit to act as witnesses… (Quran 2:282) [Forbidden to you are] married women, except those whom you own as slaves. (Quran 4:24) Summary of Koranic quotes regarding women Menstruating women are unclean, and men must stay away from them. Women are men’s “fields,” and men can have sex with them whenever they want. Men are superior to women and have authority over them, while women must obey men or risk being beaten. A woman is worth one-half of a man. Muslim men can own sex slaves. The Hadiths The hadiths have provided for several aspects of sharia law, including a man’s ability to have multiple wives, to marry an infant and to have sex with underage girls as well as sex slaves. The Prophet used to go round (have sexual relations with) all his wives in one night, and he had nine wives. The Prophet wrote the (marriage contract) with ‘Aisha while she was six years old and consummated his marriage with her while she was nine years old and she remained with him for nine years (i.e. till his death). According to the hadiths, most of the people in hell are women, who are “deficient in intelligence”: Once Allah’s Apostle went out to [offer the prayer]… Then he passed by the women and said, “O women! Give alms, as I have seen that the majority of the dwellers of Hell-fire were you (women).” They asked, “Why is it so, O Allah’s Apostle?” He replied, “You curse frequently and are ungrateful to your husbands. I have not seen anyone more deficient in intelligence and religion than you. A cautious sensible man could be led astray by some of you.” The women asked, “O Allah’s Apostle! What is deficient in our intelligence and religion?” He said, “Is not the evidence of two women equal to the witness of one man?” They replied in the affirmative. He said, “This is the deficiency in her intelligence.” Muslim Cleric: “The Flag of Islam Will One Day Fly Over the White House” – VIDEO ([url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=agOU2R6MTbg[/url]) “Islam isn’t in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant. The Koran, the Muslim book of scripture, should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on Earth.” “I am telling you that my religion doesn’t tolerate other religion. It doesn’t tolerate. The only one law which needs to spread, it can be here or anywhere else, has to be Islam”– Abu Bakr, Muslim Cleric “Oh, you Muslims everywhere, sever the ties of their nation, tear them apart, ruin their economy, instigate against their corporations, destroy their embassies, attack their interests, sink their ships, and shoot down their airplanes. Kill them in land, at sea, and in the air, kill them wherever you find them.”– Sheikh Abdel Rahman from a US prison “The real weapons of mass destruction are the desire for martyrdom. Millions of you are ready to be shaheed. Half a million martyrdom shaheed is enough for Muslims to control the whole of earth forever. In the end of the day, Islam must control earth, whether we like it or not.”– Abu Hamza al-Masri, Islamic Cleric “We don’t make a distinction between civilians and non-civilians…Only between Muslims and unbelievers. And the life of an unbeliever has no value.”– British career welfare recipient Sheikh Omar Bakri “We must not forget that Allah’s rules have to be established in all lands…”– Imam Muzammil H. Siddiqi, Islamic Society of North America “Ultimately, we (Muslims) can never be full citizens of this country…because there is no way we can be fully committed to the institutions and ideologies of this country”– Ihsan Bagby, CAIR “The 9/11 hijackers should be honored as martyrs.”– Warith Deen Umar, Former Muslim Chaplain, New York Prisons “Now, all our imams, our public speakers, should be concentrating on militarizing the Muslim public…Only carrying arms will do this task.”– Muhammad Al-Asi, Former Imam at the Washington, D.C. Islamic Center “Americans in general might be more supportive of targeted attacks on civilians, as part of the war on terror, than U.S. Muslims.”– Ahmad Al-Akhras, CAIR “In time, this so-called democracy will crumble, and there will be nothing. And the only thing left will be Islam.”– Siraj Wahhaj, Brooklyn, New York Imam “Muslims cannot accept the legitimacy of the secular system in the United States, for it “is against the orders and ordainments of Allah … the orientation of the Qur’an pushes us in the exact opposite direction as the forces that are at work in the American political spectrum.”– Imam Zaid Shakir, Former Muslim Chaplain at Yale University “Let us continue the protests. Let us damn America. Let us damn Israel. Let us damn their allies until death. Mohammad is leader. The Qu’ran is our constitution. Jihad is our path. Victory to Islam. Death to Israel. Revolution! Revolution! Until Victory! Rolling, rolling to Jerusalem.”– Sami Al Arian “This religion [Islam] will destroy all other religions through the Islamic Jihad fighters”– Jordanian/Palestinian School Book 1998 “Islam not a religion of violence, but if you burn Qur’ans or draw Muhammad, we’ll kill you”– Gambian President “No we don’t want to democratize Islam, we want to Islamize democracy” “We love you, America – and we want your children for Islam”– Islam on Capitol Hill.com “I am a traitor to America because my religion requires me to be. We pledge to wage jihad for the rest of our lives until either we implant Islam all over the world or meet our Lord as bearers of Islam.”– Samir Khan Dhimwit ([url]http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/Pages/Dhimwits.htm[/url]): “A non-Muslim member of a free society that abets the stated cause of Islamic domination with remarkable gullibility. A dhimwit is always quick to extend sympathy to the very enemy that would take away his or her own freedom (or life) if given the opportunity.” * Maronites-Christians [Native Lebanese] suffer from both Arab ethnic racism and religious bigotry, like the massacres in the 1970s by local Muslims and by Palestinian/Syrian forces. * Assyrians, are/have been persecuted both racially and religiously. Still very much marginalized in Iraq, for example. * Iran is not an Arab country but racism is huge against Kurds, Jews, Turkmens, etc. So is anti-non-Muslim bigotry against Christians, Bahai, Zoroastrians and other in the Islamic republic. * Turkey is also a Muslim non-Arab country and Kurds, Greeks, Armenians and other ethnicities have been through much suffering, genocide. Still there’s great wide racism against non-Turkish ethnic groups including racism against Alevis and against Kurds. Turkey’s policy in Cyprus has also been recognized as a real Apartheid by many. All non-Muslims are automatically branded as “foreigners” at the “moderate” Islamic supremacy of Turkey. * Chinese, Indians, Christians and other non-Malay, in Malaysia; Chinese, Christians in Indonesia, have long been subject to persecution, race-riots, discrimination, racism and bloodshed. * Non-Muslims or the ‘wrong kind of Muslims,’ in Pakistan; Iraq; Afghanistan, are oppressed and targeted in deadly attacks. * Descendants of slaves of the Bedouins are still stigmatized by racist “Palestinians”. * Christians are discriminated, persecuted against [especially since Y. Arafat’s Islamization of Bethlehem], by Palestine authority and Hamas regime. — From anti-Jewish Apartheid: – The Arab racist apartheid against the Jews attempted genocide ever since the 1920s, (Like Mufti of “Palestine” at his incited massacres, and Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood who called simply ‘to kill Jews’).– Chased out a Million Jews in the late 1940.– Has boycotted and demonized [every logical defensive action is branded “racist”] the Jewish democratic-free-equal-to-all state only because it’s the “other”. It is neither Muslim nor purely Arab.– The Arab racist world continues to play with Arab-Palestinians (grandchildren of Arab immigrants) like ping-pong against Israel. — AND THE BEACON OF APARTHEID HAS THE AUDACITY TO CHARGE MULTI-RACIAL ISRAEL’S BEAUTIFUL DEMOCRACY [THAT OFTEN GIVES PREFERENTIAL TREATMENT FOR ITS ARABS OVER JEWS] WITH THIS TERMINOLOGY? As if we don’t know the ‘Arab oil lobby’s power’ over the UN and other major international organizations and some African officials to go along with the Arab propaganda. Despite some non-Arabs who jump on this wagon out of: ignorance, of confusion complex, or of sheer bigotry, never forget, that this entire “apartheid, racism” label was invented by Arab racists ganging up in the UN since 1975. Even promoter of the apartheid-slur [which was actually invented in 1961 by A. Shukairy, who was the henchman and spokesman for the infamous Mufti al-Husseini the Mufti, notorious for being A. Hitler’s ally and adviser on exterminating the Jews. Shukairy also called to throw the Jews into the sea] J. Carter admitted on CNN: “I recognize that Israel is a wonderful democracy with freedom of speech and equality of treatment under the law between Arab Israelis and Jewish Israelis.” edition.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0612/12/acd.02.html Incidentally, the lying Pallywood machine also created a fake “memorandum” claiming that N. Mandela ever uttered this crappy analogy. Last but not least: Isn’t it true that the anti-Jewish “apartheid” slur campaign is: 1) to demonize Jews and 2) to hide the real apartheid practiced by the Arab-Islamic world? Is it possibale to propagate ISLAM trough preachinThe very history of ISLAM and ISLAMISM is fundamentally based on opening war to propagate the doctrine until now … other religions don’t fight to add up some more believers they just preach and the believers believe! What is wrong with ISLAM scholars? … Don’t they have a preaching to do rather than fighting all other who are non Muslims ? How is a drug dealer gang and a jihad fighter different? they both want you to buy what you don’t prefer to have because they believe it should be that way! How would Muslims feel if “Mekka” and “Medina” will get blasted by missile just because they choose to be Muslims? … how dose it feel to get forced to believe what you don’t believe? I feel like the whole jihad thing is a little out of peaceful option … and if the one who have a good military might should enforce its ideology of religion guess who would do what!? … that doesn’t sound comforting isn’t it ? Any ways it is not Christians who made Ismael fled … it is GOD the almighty according to bible ,i don’t know if it is the same in Qur’an! so what is to jihad about…? Comments are closed.

MURDOCK "Previously I have interviewed Frank Zindler, Richard Carrier, David Fitzgerald and Robert Price, all of whom are ‘mythicists'; they don’t think there was ever anyone alive whom we could recognize as either Jesus or Moses. Of the lot of them, I would have thought that Price was the foremost expert, but he referred me to D.M. Murdock, also known as Acharya S, author of Did Moses Exist? The Myth of the Israelite Lawgiver, an impressive piece of work. It’s definitive.” —Aron Ra, president, American Atheists-TX “There are no words that can adequately thank you enough. You are a sensitive soul whose presence enlightens the world. I hope your readers realize what an incredible lady (human being) you are. I am proud to call you my friend. I send best wishes.” —Amil Imani, Iranian democracy activist and writer “I have seen your site – smart, thoughtful, savvy! Great video! You put a lot of work into this, Acharya.” —Deven Green, creator of Mrs. Betty Bowers, America’s Best Christian “Your scholarship is relentless! …the research conducted by D.M. Murdock concerning the myth of Jesus Christ is certainly both valuable and worthy of consideration.” —Dr. Kenneth L. Feder, Professor of Archaeology, Central Connecticut State University, Frauds, Myths, and Mysteries: Science and Pseudoscience In Archaeology “I find myself in full agreement with Acharya S/D.M. Murdock… I find it undeniable that…many, many of the epic heroes and ancient patriarchs and matriarchs of the Old Testament were personified stars, planets, and constellations…” —Dr. Robert M. Price, The Pre-Nicene New Testament “I can recommend your work whole-heartedly!” —Dr. Robert Eisenman, James the Brother of Jesus and The New Testament Code, RobertEisenman.com “Well-referenced, with numerous quotations from renowned Egyptologists and classical scholars, Acharya’s penetrating research clearly lays out the very ancient pre-Christian basis of modern Christianity. Those who espouse Christianity beware! After digesting the evidence, you will never again view your religion in the same light.” —Dr. Robert M. Schoch, Professor of Natural Science College of General Studies at Boston University; Author, Pyramid Quest, Voyages of the Pyramid Builders and Voices of the Rocks “Acharya S deserves to be recognized as a leading researcher and an expert in the field of comparative mythology, on a par with James Frazer or Robert Graves—indeed, superior to those forerunners in the frankness of her conclusions and the volume of her evidence.” —Barbara Walker, The Women’s Encyclopedia of Myths and Secrets and Man Made God “I’ve known people with triple Ph.D’s who haven’t come close to the scholarship in Who Was Jesus?” —Pastor David Bruce, M.Div, North Park Seminary, Chicago, HollywoodJesus.com “Thirty years ago, when in divinity school, I might have had second thoughts about becoming an Episcopal priest if a book like D. M. Murdock’s Who Was Jesus? had been available to me.” —Bob Semes, Retired university professor of History and Religion, Founder and Executive Director of The Jefferson Center “In addition to presenting in Suns of God the troubling history of religious wars in an easily followed narrative, Acharya goes a step further, explaining as only she can how a once-simplistic idea has been carried into our modern world with terrible and nearly unimaginable results.” —Rev. Dr. W. Sumner Davis, Fellow, Royal Astronomical Society; Member, American Geophysical Union; Affiliate, New York Academy of Science “Ms. Murdock is one of only a tiny number of scholars with the richly diverse academic background (and the necessary courage) to adequately address the question of whether Jesus Christ truly existed as a walking-talking figure in first-century Palestine.” —David Mills, Atheist Universe “Thank you, Acharya, for the important work you are doing. Who Was Jesus? Fingerprints of the Christ just might be the best short introduction to Biblical scholarship yet.” —David Bergland, 1984 Libertarian Party Presidential Candidate, Libertarianism In One Lesson “…I have found her scholarship, research, knowledge of the original languages, and creative linkages to be breathtaking and highly stimulating.” — Rev. Dr. Jon Burnham, Pastor, Presbyterian Church, Houston, TX “Acharya S has done a superb job in bringing together the rich panoply of ancient world mythology and culture, and presenting it in a comprehensive and compelling fashion.” —Earl Doherty, The Jesus Puzzle “Acharya S is a shining light of truth in a sea of deceit.” —Rob McConnell, X Zone Radio/TV, Ontario, Canada “Amidst the global chaos of George Bush’s War on Terror, largely founded on religious intolerance and simplistic notions of good and evil, Acharya S is the voice of reason.” —Joan D’Arc, Paranoia “D.M. Murdock could well be the most brilliant, insightful and rigorous theologian writing today.” —Robert Tulip “Acharya S is the ranking religious philosopher of our era.” —John K. “Acharya S/Murdock deserves an award for her hard work and courage. She is the Galileo of our day!” —Charles Johnson “Acharya S knows more about the ancient Mysteries than any living scholar.” —Christopher Knowles “Acharya S is an amazing researcher with a tremendous amount of energy and appetite for constant discovery of newer horizons. ” —Dr. O.P. Sudrania “D.M. Murdock is a genius. Her scholarship on this subject is impeccable and has conducted the most thorough research I’ve ever read.” —David Kim “Acharya Murdock’s work is so important, so clear and so timely!” —Theresa Weiss, PowerPlaces.com “I am Hindu, and I read the Bhaagavatham in which the life of Krishna is detailed. I also read your works, and I endorse you. Keep up the good work.” —Murali Chemuturi “Sooooooo glad you continue to spread your messages! Having had the privilege to meet with you face-to-face and share lunch some years back, I certainly can vouch for you to be a sincere, warm, caring and highly engaging individual, and this world is all the better because of you. “Having known Acharya for quite some time, and although our life’s paths have diverged, she is never far from mind, and all thoughts are positive. She is a solid driving force for all things wise, good and useful that make this earth a tad bit better. We could use millions more like her.” —Robert W.Morgan
