You must be skating wrong because I had etnies and they lasted me a year. I have Fallen Rippers and the are WAY better than my etnies. Don’t get DC’s because they are not good for skating but they are the best BMX shoe. If I were you I would try Circas or Emerica’s.

Hepatitis B: stress and viral load correlations?
So a patient 25 female, 5′5, 136lbs, comes in with Hepatitis B (from maternal) to check the level of their viral load which has nearly doubled from 100,000 to 200,000 since their last viral load check approximately 6 months ago. Since then she has lived a fairly healthy lifestyle.
She eats out occasionally, limiting the menu to mainly vegetarian foods that don’t contain excessive amounts of grease. She ingests plenty of soy, lean meats, omega-3s, dietary fibers, fruits, vegetables, and tries to limit her intake of carbohydrates. She also works out an average of two times a week, doing 30 minute cardiovascular when she can.
She’s currently a student and has mentioned frequent arguments with her significant other whom she lives with which is the only thing that has really happened since her last check. Does stress have a direct correlation to her viral loads? If so, would these arguments potentially be the source of her dramatically increased viral load?
Knowing that there is no definite answer, could stress possibly be the best reason?

Retrospective application of the law is not against human rights rules UK judge, is this a bad precedent?
"On Thursday, Mr Justice Kenneth Parker, sitting in London, ruled the backdating of demands was "in the relevant circumstances proportionate" and did not breach human rights."
So will this leave the door open for other new laws to be back dated?
If the law is right now, it was right then.

The anti-avoidance legislation brought in by the 2008 Finance Act made life more difficult for UK residents to evade tax on income and gains made offshore. It has been the law that British residents pay tax on their investments anywhere in the world since 1828. There’s no element of backdating in the tax payable, only in the methods used to reveal it.
This spurious case claimed that coming up with new methods for catching criminals is unfair on those who committed their crimes before the law was passed, and that this breached their "human rights". It’s surprising that the Daily Telegraph and Feudal Gazette supports the tax dodgers when it has consistently campaigned against human rights legislation. The judge quite rightly ruled that the argument was spurious - perhaps one day one will do the same to the bunch of unctuous hypocrites at the Telegraph.

It is not the first such law, the War Crimes Act 1991 was retrospective (and the precedent) and the government are still doing it.
The Drug Trafficking Act 1994 also had retrospective elements and one clause in the Banking Act 2009 reads:

Do the British realize that the US is Canada's closest ally and friend?
We Canadians broke away from Britain long ago and don’t care about Britain anymore. You can have your EU which is slowly eating away your identity. If you must know, our closest ally and friend is the United States. We share technology, defence, and are the world’s largest trading partners.
You are still the Queen’s subjects.
diamond_kursed | Feb 04, 2010
You are? I think you are a friend an ally..but when it comes to helping defend us….Britain always puts themselves out there for us. Canada would not help us in time of war…not to the extent Britain would and has!
It is like a family here buddy. How can you tell your children who you love the most? You love them all the most for different reasons.
wow….WE dont’ choose…why do you choose for us?

Cocia Wyn 'di A!Y | Feb 04, 2010
Since the British Commonwealth is largely ceremonial, they are perfectly aware that Canada’s closes ties lie with the US.
Anyway, the Commonwealth somewhat protects Canada from being assimilated into an all-american nation. It keeps a distinct cultural identity for Canada, which keeps the relationship with the US as a partner, instead of a war for a dominant cultural identity :P.
The US is not in a position to say what Canada can or can’t do, so they don’t much care either way.
That simple, really.

The British people did not want to be America’s ally in arms, there was no vote. This was some senior politicians wanting to have their names in the history books.

Menil gets a modern overhaul
11.10.09
I ndividual artworks — a painting here, a sculpture there — get rotated in and out of the Menil Collection’s modern and contemporary galleries. But the basic configuration has only changed twice since founding director Walter Hopps created the first installation in 1987 — once in 2002, when former chief curator Matthew Drutt moved it from the east wing to the opposite end of the building, and now.
Franklin Sirmans, the Menil’s modern and contemporary art curator, is responsible for the current overhaul. He began planning it a year ago, but the recent news he’ll be leaving in January to head the contemporary art department at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art makes his reinstallation all the more noteworthy since it will leave the most tangible mark of his three-year stay in Houston.
Sirmans has returned the permanent-collection works to the east-wing rooms. But that’s not the only — or even the most noticeable — shake-up.
Early modernism — except for Surrealism, a key Menil concentration that has its own galleries — has gone into storage. The new installation abandons what has until recently been a more-or-less chronological approach — albeit a spotty one, given both space constraints and the Menil’s eclectic holdings — in favor of arrangements that use the galleries’ natural light to full advantage and are driven by the location needs of key artworks.
“Why not have this space be somewhat dedicated to working in sync with the building?” Sirmans asks. “That became a driving force, and then you start to think, ‘Well, what are some of the things we are most proud of? What are some of the things that people really should see here?’”
Case in point: Brice Marden’s massive four-panel masterpiece The Seasons (1974-1975). The sensuous waxy surface of each 8-by-5-foot canvas quietly hums with a single color that’s highly suggestive of light and memory.
“That became a focal point, and that can only really go on one wall,” Sirmans says. “That defines for you a certain time frame. OK, so you’re going to cheat a little bit (chronologically) because of the necessity of the work. Well, why not? If it looks good, it looks good.”
Sirmans hopes the path to the reconfigured galleries will prime visitors for unlikely juxtapositions. Passing first the antiquities galleries and then spaces devoted to indigenous art, they’ll arrive at an entryway devoted to contrasts in materials — a huge 1968 Robert Morris sculpture made of two pieces of cut felt in dialogue with Martin Puryear’s Deadeye (2002), a vessel-shaped, smooth pine sculpture that’s one of several major loans on view.
Then they’ll enter a room hung in consultation with contemporary artist Robert Gober — a far cry from the Picassos and Matisses that kicked off the last installation. The Gober room acts as a kind of mini-sequel to his 2005 Menil exhibition, The Meat Wagon , in which he mixed his works with objects from the collection, from a wax bust of Abraham Lincoln to a dress designed by Charles James to Michelangelo Pistoletto’s 1965 mirror painting Vietnam . Those pieces are all here, along with a painting by Surrealist René Magritte — a touchstone for Gober — as well as trompel’oeil tattered-book re-creations by San Francisco artist Steve Wolfe, the subject of a Menil show planned for April.
Gober’s own illusionistic works include a barred prison window, set into a gallery wall, offering a tantalizing but fake view of a sky; and a block of Swiss cheese — beeswax, actually — sprouting human hair.
From there, visitors will head into more familiar territory — a Pop gallery anchored by Andy Warhol’s Lavender Disaster (1963) and Ten-Foot Flowers (1967-1968), along with several of his smaller paintings. They’re joined by two works that haven’t been out in a good while: George Segal’s plaster sculpture Seated Woman (1967), who sits in a real wood chair, and Jim Dine’s 1962 assemblage 3 Panel Study for Child’s Room . Surprisingly, another Magritte — The Curvature of the Universe (1950), a blue sky with clouds painted directly onto a wine bottle — is part of the mix, perhaps a nod to his influence on Pop and later generations.
Rauschenberg, who had his own room in the previous installation, now shares a gallery with his one-time lover Jasper Johns, whose works bunked with Warhol’s in the old setup. All three artists benefit from the new arrangement.
The Johns/Rauschenberg room thrives on the insertion of two major loans — Johns’ seminal 1963 Periscope (Hart Crane) , which the artist has lent, along with one of his plaster light-bulb sculptures; and Rauschenberg’s Third Time Painting (1961). The Rauschenberg work crucially fills a gap in the Menil’s holdings, which have lacked one of his “combines” — assemblages of paint and everyday objects. It did wonders for the Rauschenberg room in its final months, and it looks even better in the east wing of the building.
This midpoint completes what I think of as the left-brained half of Sirmans’ installation, with its emphasis on the conceptual, figurative and real-world-based side of art. Next up is the right-brained half, which is spiritual and ethereal all the way.
“We’ve got to have some comfortable benches in here,” Sirmans says about the next room, which is filled with Mark Rothko paintings.
Indeed. You may have seen most of these Rothkos individually, from Astral Image (1946), a high point of his biomorphic Surrealist-influenced phase, to the 1949 “multiform” No. 21 (Untitled) , in which shapes and bands of yellows, reds and oranges hover and gently jockey for position, and four superb examples of his mature style featuring floating, pulsing rectangles of color. But your life will be a little more complete once you’ve seen them all together in this room, and you’ll want to sit down for a while to take it all in. This is Rothko before he began turning to the blacks, plums and maroons of the paintings in the nearby Rothko Chapel because he felt people were too distracted by the color to see the “tragedy, ecstasy, doom” in his work.
Next, Barnett Newman’s paintings and sculpture are sited in a middle gallery, which suits them better than the pivotal corner space they occupied in the previous installation. With the exception of a small, sketchy canvas painted in 1946, the year before Newman’s breakthrough to color-field abstraction, the Menil’s Newmans are all vertical and use mostly somber colors. In contrast to his better-known vast horizontal expanses of blazing color, these Newmans call for a comparatively intimate space that you happen into, not one that announces itself with sight lines seen from the vantage point of other galleries as the Rothko room does.
Sight lines matter. What is perhaps the Menil’s quintessential pre-Chapel Rothko — an untitled 1957 canvas featuring a brushy band of violet over simmering fields of reds — looks across the Newman gallery to Marden’s The Seasons , which makes a perfect counterpoint even if you aren’t steeped enough in Menil lore to know that Rice University’s Institute of the Arts mounted an important 1975 exhibit of Rothko, Marden, and David Novros’ work under the directorship of Dominique de Menil.
Novros is also represented here with 6:30 , a recently restored configuration of six L-shaped panels painted white and sprayed with an iridescent coating that reveals a color shift from green to pink in the gallery’s natural light. It’s joined by beautiful examples of Robert Ryman and Robert Mangold’s work, completing the room’s reductive harmony.
Initially, Sirmans and Menil exhibition designer Brooke Stroud planned to model the reinstallation after the original 1987 configuration, in which a single room was broken into four rooms to accommodate intimate hangings of smaller — particularly early modernist — works.
“But then, in the end, you can get more (pieces) out, but are you really using the building in some sort of unique way instead of creating a series of spaces that are, I think, more akin to another space (like the Surrealism galleries)?” Sirmans asks. “We figured out that you can … have that intimacy in Surrealism, and if you’re going to use one of these large spaces, then use it.”
Plot: Sherlock Holmes is drawn into the case of Jack the Ripper who is killing prostitutes in London’s East End. Assisted by Dr. Watson, and using information provided by a renowned psychic, Robert Lees, Holmes finds that the murders may have its roots in a Royal indiscretion and that a cover-up is being managed by politicians at the highest level, all of whom happen to be Masons. Homes races to save the life of Annie Crook who has been forcibly incarcerated in an insane asylum and that of her friend Mary Kelly, in whom she has entrusted her secret.
