Neph1-deficient mice develop nephrotic syndrome at birth, indicating the importance of this protein in the development of a normal glomerular filtration barrier. While the precise subcellular localization of Neph1 remains unknown, its relationship with other components of the glomerular filtration barrier is of great interest in this field. In this paper, we localize the expression of Neph1 to the glomerular slit diaphragm by immunogold electron microscopy in rodents and describe its direct interaction with two other components of the slit diaphragm, nephrin and ZO-1. Both native and recombinant Neph1 associate with each other as dimers and multimers and interact with nephrin via their extracellular segments. Disruption of the Neph1-nephrin interaction in vivo by injecting combinations of individual subnephritogenic doses of anti-Neph1 and anti-nephrin results in complement- and leukocyte-independent proteinuria with preserved foot processes. This disruption modestly reduces Neph1 and nephrin protein expression in podocytes and dramatically reduces ZO-1 protein expression via the interaction of ZO-1 PDZ domains with the cytoplasmic tail of Neph1, independent of changes in mRNA expression of all three genes. The interaction between nephrin and Neph1 is specific and not shared by either protein with P-cadherin, another integral slit diaphragm protein. The interaction between nephrin and Neph1 therefore appears to be an important determinant of glomerular permeability.

Robert Kirkman's sitting on top of the (undead) world at the moment -- "The Walking Dead," the AMC zombie drama based on his graphic novels, is a ratings giant and is getting a spin-off series. Today, Fox International Channels announced that Kirkman's second series, "Outcast," is heading to Cinemax...

South African Transport Strike Enters Fifth Day
May 14 (Bloomberg) -- South African exports of metals, wine and fruit where stalled for a fifth day as a strike at ports and railroads looked likely to drag on into the weekend.
State-owned transport company Transnet Ltd. is meeting union representatives in Johannesburg today, said Jane Barrett, a negotiator for the South African Transport and Allied Trade Union. The independent Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration will mediate the talks, she said. Workers are demanding a 15 percent wage increase, while Transnet is offering a maximum of 11 percent.
"It's very unlikely we'll have a solution tonight," Barrett said in an interview from Johannesburg. "Whatever they offer us, we'll still have to go back to our members for approval."
Ferrochrome producers Xstrata Plc, Samancor Ltd. and Ruukki Group have declared force majeure on shipments of the steel-making ingredient. Anglo American Plc's Kumba Iron Ore Ltd. did the same, I-net Bridge reported today, citing spokesman Tebello Chabana. Force majeure is a legal clause that allows producers to miss contracted deliveries because of circumstances beyond their control.
Africa's largest economy may lose "billions of rand" if the strike isn't resolved soon, Johan Botha, an economist at Johannesburg-based Standard Bank Group Ltd., said yesterday.
Most of Transnet's operations remain at a standstill while more than half of the company's 54,000 employees are not working, Transnet spokesman Mboniso Sigonyela said in a phone interview. "It's the same as yesterday," he said.
Fruit and Wine
Loading of citrus fruit has stopped completely, according to Transnet. South Africa is the world's second-largest citrus producer after Spain, according to Justin Chadwick, chief executive officer of the nation's Citrus Growers Association.
"If it isn't over this weekend it'll be a crisis because the cold storage will be full," Chadwick said in a phone interview from Johannesburg today.
Wine shipments have also been halted, James Reid, vice chairman of Wines of South Africa, which represents 500 wine exporters, said yesterday.
Coal stocks at the privately owned Richards Bay Coal Terminal, which ships most of the nation's coal, are likely to last another four weeks, Xavier Prevost, a coal analyst at XMP Consulting, said yesterday.
Strikers have caused more than 20 million rand of damage to equipment during the labor action, Transnet Chief Executive Officer Chris Wells said in an open letter to workers, a copy of which was e-mailed to Bloomberg News today.
Goods for the soccer World Cup, which starts in less than a month, were successfully moved, Wells said.
Negotiators from both sides are eager to find a solution, Eddie de Klerk, the deputy general secretary of United Transport & Allied Trade Union.
"Resolution is what we're aiming for," de Klerk said. "We think anything is possible."

Course Description
With the increasing attention given to spatialities following Lefebvre and others, the study of urban space has imploded across the disciplines. In postcolonial studies the focus on the informal sector, rural-urban migration and peri-urban spaces, for instance, has contributed to significantly different ways of seeing urban space over the last decade. These new cartographies of cities have focused on three issues in particular: (1) urban practices, i.e. micro-level studies of neighborhoods, streets, alleys (2) urban modernities and (3) cities and nation-building projects.
This focus on local socio-spatial dynamics has challenged and re-articulated the idea of the modern city. While economically disadvantaged communities have been central in this project, gendered subjects have remained marginal to the study of economic, social and spatial dynamics of South Asian, Latin American, MIddle Eastern and African cities. The course will engage with material from the various regions and also address some of the following questions: Does the city represent a site of personal autonomy and political possibilities for women/men? At different moments public discourse in distinct societies has produced the city as both site of modern citizen-making and site of corruption/ pollution. How have different classes of people in distinct temporalities/ spatialities negotiated these tensions? What are local grammars of urbanity and rurality? How is the 'rural' configured in the city in both popular and dominant discourses? In what ways are these discourses gendered -- and in what ways do gendered subjects negotiate senses of self/community with or beyond them? How do urban politics and policies reshape households and communities' relationship to the city? What political space is provided for subjects to resist or renegotiate state sponsored attempts to re-order the urban landscape?

1. Introduction
Some aspects of Tomcat on Gentoo are slightly different than how upstream handles it. This document aims to provide some information on how it differs. This document is based on Tomcat versions 5.0.28, 5.5.x and later. Versions of Tomcat older than 5.5.x should not be used, as it is discouraged by upstream. Which includes Tomcat 5.0.28. Only use that version if your application requires it. Otherwise please use 5.5.x or later when released.
The biggest initial difference on Gentoo is Tomcat being spread across multiple directories. That is because applications on Gentoo strive to comply FHS, in addition to Gentoo-specific standards. Another major differences is that Tomcat is compiled from source, along with the latest versions of any dependencies and bundled libraries, which will also be compiled from source. There are a number of smaller details, which will be covered in this guide.
This document will not cover Java Servlet Specifications, nor general Tomcat configuration. This document assumes the reader has a basic understanding of what a Java Web Application is, consists of, and basics of how to configure a container for the web application.
2. Layout
Standard Tomcat Layout
The root directory of a typical Tomcat binary distribution is laid out as illustrated in the following listing.
Code Listing 2.1: Standard Tomcat Root Directory Layout
/opt/tomcat-x.y/bin /opt/tomcat-x.y/common /opt/tomcat-x.y/conf /opt/tomcat-x.y/logs /opt/tomcat-x.y/server /opt/tomcat-x.y/shared /opt/tomcat-x.y/temp /opt/tomcat-x.y/webapps /opt/tomcat-x.y/work
Note: Substitute either 5, or 5.5 for x.y
Gentoo Tomcat Layout
To comply with FHS and Gentoo standards, Tomcat has been dissected and installed into the following locations.
Code Listing 2.2: Gentoo Tomcat Layout
/usr/share/tomcat-x.y/bin /usr/share/tomcat-x.y/common /etc/tomcat-x.y /var/log/tomcat-x.y/logs /usr/share/tomcat-x.y/server /var/lib/tomcat-x.y/shared /var/tmp/tomcat-x.y /var/lib/tomcat-x.y/webapps /var/run/tomcat-x.y
Configuration Files
In addition to simply moving the Tomcat /conf directory under /etc. There is a Gentoo-specific Tomcat configuration file etc/conf.d/tomcat-x.y, which contains Tomcat variables that are sourced by /etc/init.d/tomcat-x.y. These variables are:
The Gentoo init script is also installed into /etc, at /etc/init.d/tomcat-x.y . Tomcat on Gentoo no longer uses or modifies catalina.sh.
Web Applications
The /var/lib/tomcat-x.y/ contains a symlinks to other Tomcat directories, and the webapps/ directory where actual web applications go. This directory serves as the hub and is referenced by Tomcat as the CATALINA_BASE.
Code Listing 2.3: Gentoo Tomcat Base and webapp location
conf -> /etc/tomcat-x.y logs -> /var/log/tomcat-x.y shared temp -> /var/tmp/tomcat-x.y webapps work -> /var/run/tomcat-x.y
Runtime Files
These directories hold logs, temp, and working files used by Tomcat.
3. Installation
Tomcat's USE flags
Tomcat's USE flags are not any different from USE flags for any package on Gentoo. Most are self-explanatory like doc, sources, and test. They are for documentation, sources, and running unit tests, correspondingly.
The admin USE flag determines if Tomcat's admin webapp will be built and installed. Using this flag also adds struts as a dependency to Tomcat.
The examples USE flag should be used for anyone new to Tomcat, Java Web Application development, or just about anything beyond deploying existing applications. When set, the examples USE flag will install the example web applications. Most all can safely ignore this USE flag, unless you are starting out.
The java5 USE flag will build a Java 1.5 byte code version of Tomcat 5.5.x. It will also reduce a consdierable amount of dependencies since mx4j is dropped as a dependency when the java5 USE flag is enabled.
Emerge Tomcat
Once you have the desired USE flags set in /etc/make.conf or /etc/portage/package.use and added packages names to /etc/portage/package.keywords it's time to actually install Tomcat. Tomcat, like every other package on Gentoo, is installed by doing:
Code Listing 3.1: Command to download, compile, and install Tomcat
emerge tomcat
Warning: Because Tomcat is compiled from source, along with all its dependencies, a lot of packages may be pulled in at emerge time. Good news is, since it's Java, aside from download time, should compile rather quickly even on older machines.
Note: Tomcat 5.x versions have allot of questionable dependencies. Tomcat calls them optional core packages. Good news is Tomcat 6.0.x has a fraction of the dependencies of Tomcat 5.x.
4. Usage
Configuring Tomcat
Depending on what Tomcat will be used for, one may or may not need to finely configure Tomcat. If Tomcat is just a dependency of another application, one might be able to simple start Tomcat, and request the application via a browser or etc at http://127.0.0.1:8080/.
For most others, particularly developers, running more than one site under Tomcat, or etc. will need to edit Tomcat's main configuration file /etc/tomcat-x.y/server.xml. The syntax of that file, and configuration of Tomcat is beyond the scope of this document. Please refer to Tomcat documentation for more information.
Using a Specific VM
By default, Tomcat will use the system VM controlled by java-config as-per the JAVA_HOME variable in /etc/conf.d/tomcat-x.y. One can change that variable to point to any VM that is capable of running Tomcat. Then, when Tomcat is started, it will use the specified VM.
With 5.5.x Logging has changed a bit. Tomcat no longer uses log4j by default. Applications can still use log4j, however the jars have to be put onto the classpath manually. Log4j is not used by a Tomcat install by default, same as upstream. For more information please refer to Tomcat's documentation on logging. Despite this change log4j is still a compile time dependency for now. http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/logging/tech.html
Warning: log4j.jar MUST be in the same directory as commons-logging.jar. The lowest classloader level they should be put in is common/lib. The recommended is shared/lib, or in a specific webapp's WEB-INF/lib directory.
Starting/Stopping Tomcat
Tomcat is started and stopped the same as any service on Gentoo.
Code Listing 4.1: Start Stop Restart Tomcat
/etc/init.d/tomcat-x.y [ start | stop | restart ]
Tomcat's Standard Web Applications
By default we do not install Tomcat's admin, docs, or examples web application. We do, however, install Tomcat's ROOT and manager applications. However per upstream Tomcat policy, no usernames or passwords are configured by default. /etc/tomcat-x.y/tomcat-users.xml should be modified to add users
Code Listing 4.2: ROOT and Manager Web Application URLs
http://127.0.0.1:8080/ http://127.0.0.1:8080/manager/html/
Missing Jar - naming-factory-dbcp.jar
Currently the naming-factory-dbcp.jar is not build by default. To build that jar Tomcat robs .java source files from 3 other commons packages, collections, pool, and dbcp. There is no clean solution to compiling this jar at this time. Suggestions, patches, or any assistance on compiling that jar is greatly appreciated.
There are alternatives to this jar. You can use commons-dbcp.jar, or use the factory provided by most all jdbc drivers.
Note: For the time being anyone who needs that jar should fetch it from a binary release of Tomcat 5.0.x or 5.5.x. Just place the jar into common/lib and you will be all set.
5. Future
Future possibilities for Tomcat on Gentoo
These are some features which are either in consideration, under development, or are only a dream. Ideally to be implemented in the order listed below.
6. Problems
Where and who to report what to
If you have problems, please stop and think if the problem is Gentoo related, or Tomcat specific. If you are not sure, please start with the Gentoo Java community and Team, which can be reached via the gentoo-java mailing list, or #gentoo-java IRC channel on irc.freenode.net. Please file and report Gentoo related bugs, feature enhancement requests, and etc to http://bugs.gentoo.org/

Page updated February 3, 2007
Summary: This guide provides information on the layout, usage, and other things related to Tomcat version 5.0.28, 5.5.x and later on Gentoo Linux.

Well, if you like your bareback porn gritty, you really are going to be hard pressed finding one more so than Breeding Boy Cunts.
Fans of mature muscle daddies are also in for a treat with this title from Slut Machine. It's DILF-filled content with young guys on the receiving end of some seriously big, raw daddy cock.
Raw sex icons like Dominik Rider and Dan Fisk once again show why they're some of the hottest bareback performers in the business, as they join the ensemble of rough tops looking to slam some boy pussy.
Fisk's encounter with a horny young bottom boy in scene six is a particular highlight. He really lets the smooth, ripped piggy have it and there's a fantastic chemistry between them, especially when Fisk asks him if he likes "daddy's cock."
You can tell this kid just loves to get dominated, and he cops a pounding from his older buddy's stiff tool.
It's as filthy and fucking hot as it gets in bareback cinema. This is definitely one not to miss.

Devil Rays 2
(39-56, 17-36 away)
Twins 7
(53-40, 36-11 home)
8:10 PM ET, July 19, 2006
Mall of America Field, Minneapolis, Minnesota
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- Rondell White needed a game like this.
Struggling through perhaps his worst season, White hit two home runs Wednesday night to lead the Minnesota Twins to their sixth straight victory, 7-2 over the Tampa Bay Devil Rays.He ranked the performance at the top of his 14-year career."Probably, with the things I've been going through this year," White said, when asked if these were his biggest home runs. "I have confidence and my swing is looser."After homering in his first two at-bats and doubling in his third, White got a standing ovation before his fourth at-bat and tipped his helmet to the crowd."It felt great," White said. "They've been behind me all year."Twins manager Ron Gardenhire was glad to see White's home run trot."We've seen him skip plenty of times against us and it's good to see him skipping for us," Gardenhire said.Since coming off the disabled list on July 15 with a strained left shoulder, White has gone 8-for-14 with three home runs and six RBI. Before that he had no home runs and 16 RBI.Brad Radke won his fourth straight decision for Minnesota, which has won 18 of 23 overall and 19 of the last 20 at home. Radke (8-7) allowed two runs and four hits in seven innings, while striking out four and walking none.He was more focused on White's performance than his own."I'm just happy for Rondell," Radke said. "We've been kind of waiting for a while and everybody felt bad for him, but he's stayed professional."Tampa Bay manager Joe Maddon said he has always been an admirer of White."He's a hard player and a good man," Maddon said. "He came off the DL at the wrong time for us."Greg Norton and Jonny Gomes both homered for the Devil Rays, who have lost a season-high six in a row. Tampa Bay has lost 11 straight to the Twins dating to 2004."I happened to notice on the board that the American League pitchers with the lowest batting average against are Lackey, Liriano and Santana and we have the wonderful pleasure of facing all three on this road trip," Maddon said, referring to Los Angeles's John Lackey, who beat the Devil Rays 4-0 last Friday, Minnesota's Francisco Liriano, who beat Tampa Bay 8-1 on Tuesday, and Johan Santana, the Twins' starter against Tampa Bay on Thursday. "Sometimes there are extenuating circumstances to your demise.""As a whole, we just need to stay positive," said third baseman Ty Wigginton, who had two hits in his first game since injuring his back on Friday.Jae Seo (0-4) allowed seven runs and a career-high 11 hits in 5 2/3 innings. Seo has lost all four of his starts since being acquired from the Los Angeles Dodgers on June 27.Norton hit his sixth homer off Radke in the second inning to give Tampa Bay a 1-0 lead, but White hit his first of the game in the bottom of the inning.White led off the fifth with his third homer of the season, a 410-foot shot that made it 2-1.The Twins went up 5-1 in the fifth on Nick Punto's two-run triple and Michael Cuddyer's sacrifice fly.Gomes homered in the sixth to snap an 0-for-19 slump.Jason Bartlett had an RBI triple and Luis Castillo added a run-scoring single in the sixth to make it 7-2.Game notes
White has eight multihomer games, the last coming on Aug. 22, 2000, against Houston. ... The Twins did not walk a batter for a major league-leading 20th time. ... Castillo had three hits to extend his season-high 13-game hitting streak and Punto increased his season-high streak to 12 games. ... The Devil Rays have scored just nine runs in 54 innings since the All-Star break. ... Tampa Bay lost 11 straight to Minnesota between 2002 and 2003, matching their longest losing streak against any team.

Driving in a foreign country can be an exciting experience – providing you stick to the rules.
Whilst you navigate your way around your chosen travel destination, take some time to find out about local traffic rules to keep yourself and other road users safe during your travels.
Prepare for your trip
It is always a good idea to read-up on foreign driving laws before you set foot in a vehicle abroad. After all, you don't want to break the countries road rules and run the risk of a fine or even imprisonment.
Each country has its own driving laws and sometimes it can be hard to know what you can and can't do and where you can and can't do it. This is why you need to check specific rules for the country you're visiting rather than assuming all countries will follow the same regulations.
Which side of the road?
One of the most common driving laws which catches British drivers out is remembering which side of the road to drive on. This is a fundamental part of driving that many of us do subconsciously so it can take a while to adjust to doing things a different way. The majority of European countries drive on the RIGHT hand side of the road – but check out our country specific page to make sure before your trip.
Am I insured?
Insurance is a legal requirement for car owners in the UK but you should check that your policy covers you when you are driving abroad too. Double check whether medical expenses and breakdown recovery are included.
What about new legislations?
There are also many new legislations in foreign countries that impose strict rules on driving which you may not be aware of. For example, France has just brought in a law that requires all drivers to carry breathalysers in their vehicle.
There are more subtle rulings that many of us will be unaware of (like the compulsory use of indicators when overtaking a vehicle in Spain) so always investigate these before leaving. Speak to one of our staff if you're worried you've missed something – we're always happy to help and can help you find all the information you need.
What about driving permits?
If you are planning to drive abroad it is worth investing in an International Driving Permit (IDP). It can come in useful even if you decide not to drive (acting as a form of identification) and is recognised in over 150 countries worldwide.
Drivers should also carry their license and a certificate of motor insurance no matter where they're travelling.
We have created a whole new section on the Avis website about the driving laws in different countries. Head over and read up on the road rules in the country you are visiting next.

Thomas Guide
Thomas Guide is the title of a series of paperback, spiral-bound atlases featuring detailed street maps of various large metropolitan areas in the United States, in the metro areas of Boise, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Oakland, Phoenix, Portland, Reno-Tahoe, Sacramento, San Francisco, Seattle, Tucson, and Washington, D.C. Road Atlas titles are Arizona including Las Vegas, California Including portions of Nevada, and Pacific Northwest covering Washington, Oregon, Western Idaho, Southwestern British Columbia. The map books are usually arranged by county; for example, separate Thomas Guides have been published for Los Angeles County and San Diego County. There are also guides that will have two or three counties combined (for example, Los Angeles and Orange County), or guides that cover a metropolitan area (for instance, the San Francisco Bay Area). Each guide has a detailed index of streets and points of interest, as well as arterial maps for easy page location.
Thomas Guides were a local icon in Southern California for decades, with many companies including the Thomas Guide map grid info for their locations in Yellow Pages listings and other advertisements.
Thomas Bros. Maps, the publishers of the Thomas Guide, was started in Oakland, California, in 1915 by cartographer George Coupland Thomas and his two brothers, who were business partners. The company relocated its headquarters to Los Angeles in 1940. The company had grown to publish street maps of cities in several Western states; these maps were sold in fold-out, card stock covers. By the late 1940s, the company had added pocket-sized guidebooks of California and the city of San Francisco which included fold-out maps attached to the inner rear cover. The first street guides, which were initially pocket sized paperback booklets also began to appear at about this time, and were introduced for several counties in California, and one in Washington.
After George Coupland Thomas died in 1955, the ownership was bought by Coupland Thomas' family lawyer Warren B. Wilson, brother of Lionel Wilson, the past mayor of Oakland, California. During the big California home development boom of the late '70s Wilson moved the company to a newly built state-of-the-art designed building in the industrial park area Irvine, California, in the early 1980s. For 40 years Wilson served as CEO and owner of Thomas Bros. Maps and was responsible for leading the company into the digital age. Starting in the 1990s Wilson hired many CEOs to run the company to give him more time traveling and studying his love of art.
In this new growth period of the early 1990s the company led the way and did a lot of new innovative things in the map industry. They were the first map company to start a map education foundation that trained teachers on geography and interesting map lessons and donated map materials to area schools. They were also the first map publishing company to set up a computer map database that could have sections checked out by cartographers, updated, and them checked back in a live digital map library with date stamps to keep track of what was edited. They also solved many software digital mapping problems that other companies still use today. And they were the first map company to set up a digital map page and grid look-up system for the whole world. Many old-time TBM map book users can still tell you what page and grid they live on even though they stopped using the map books years ago.
After conversion and completion of all of their pen and ink map atlases to digital format in the mid-1990s, map data became a significant part of TBM company sales. The company had large data contracts in the 1990s with California CHP, large utilities, and many area cities and counties. The Thomas Brothers map database had a monopoly in the '90s since they had the best street addresses in them making them very good for address matching for businesses. As sales of its last produced guidebooks for Washington, DC, and Virginia did not sell as expected and much money was lost on the website store design, the company was in major debt, and was purchased by and became a wholly owned subsidiary of Rand McNally in 1999. The company took a new radical direction in November 2003 and let go many of Thomas Brothers' most skilled cartographers and employees.
After this very large layoff, the Rand McNally CEO announced all Irvine data edits would be outsourced to Bangalore, India. The remaining Irvine employees would send and manage the data to and from India and check the map work India editors did before publishing. After January 2004 many important things in the guides were cut to save money. The valued POI index was no longer updated. Thinner and cheaper paper was used in the map guides. The Irvine source department was closed and no customer corrections were taken or recorded. Many guides were no longer printed yearly. The book name was dropped to just Thomas Guide and colors changed to match Rand McNally colors and product line releases. The popular map store was closed at the Irvine building, which was the last TBM store to close after they shut the ones in San Francisco, downtown Los Angeles, and the South Coast Plaza Mall years earlier. The map guides still sell, but the famous digital map database is old and derelict now. Rand McNally now buys their map data and updates from the big map digital data companies like Teleatlas and Navteq. They overlay the new streets on their old database for publication.
Past TBM employees still wonder where the company would be if they had not been sold to Rand McNally but sold to somebody on the west coast. Also, if the company had not spread itself so thin and stayed focused on current sales areas and data sales. Many believe the constant change in CEOs and product line directions in the last 15 years killed the company. Rand McNally/TBM no longer has any employees or customer service in California, after laying off the final Irvine headquarters employees in 2009.[1]
Thomas Guide atlases are sometimes referred to as a Thomas Brothers (for Thomas Bros. Maps). However, "Thomas Guides" are so commonly used in Southern California that governments, businesses, individuals and even emergency response agencies will often refer to a "Thomas Guide" page number and map grid to help specify a location.[2]
Businesses often use the large Thomas Guide wall maps. One common use for the wall maps is for delivery businesses, such as a local pizza restaurant. In addition, custom versions of the guides and wall maps are produced for businesses and governments that include such things as census tracts, locations of government facilities, watershed boundaries, and political boundaries.
There are also CD-ROM digital editions of the Thomas Guide atlases available (Microsoft Windows only). In addition, the Thomas Brothers digital database can be licensed to companies and governments to use as a base map for geographical information systems applications.
Updated editions are released annually, although according to interviews with former employees responsible for product updates, actual map content for some titles are only updated every other year. (But product covers are updated every year, even if map content had not changed.) Folding map products are created as a derivative of the Thomas Guides, which carry the Rand McNally name, but mention that the content is from the Thomas Guides. Rand McNally also releases Thomas Guide-like Street Guides and traditional fold-out versions of maps covering regions of North America not covered by the Thomas Guides.

I started making these for my children when they were very young (and wanted to know what exactly I was putting in their mouths). Now they are a family favorite and a working mom's delight. They have more calories than frozen waffles, but they are packed with good nutrition and keep you full until noon.These are great when made ahead of time. They are very dense pancakes and because they are so dense you can pop them into the toaster to warm up like an eggo. Simply wait until they cool and freeze them or seal them in a container for the fridge. They last about a week in the fridge. I use oat milk because I am a vegetarian and want more protein than soy or rice milk can provide. However, I have used all the milks (including dairy) and they work fine. The calorie calculation is done with oat milk and brown sugar included in the recipe. Values will change depending on the milk you use and if you add the brown sugar or not.Serving Ideas: Serve with fresh fruit or sugar free maple syrup.Submitted by: PAISANS

Melanzane alla Parmigiana
Try Jonathan Benno's eggplant parmigiana recipe at home
September 8, 2009
Yield 4 servings
- Microplane, or box grater
- 8" Chef's knife
- Tongs
- Sheet tray with a rack to fit
- Food mill or food processor
- 4 quart saucepot
- 8" x 8" baking dish
- Garlic press
- Rubber spatula
- Paper towels
- 12" Sauté pan
- 2 medium Italian eggplant
- 1 ball fresh mozzarella cut into 1/4" slices, or pre-grated
- 1/2 bunch Italian flat leaf parsley, rinsed and chopped coarsely
- 1 small piece Parmigiano-Reggiano, or pre-grated
- All-purpose flour for dusting the eggplant slices
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- Tomato Sauce (recipe to follow)
- Kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper
Tomato Sauce
- 1 28 oz. can San Marzano Tomatoes, passed through the food mill or food processor
- 1 red onion, minced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 basil sprig
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 tablespoon Red Wine Vinegar
- Kosher salt and Fresh ground black pepper to taste
For the Tomato Sauce
Preheat 2 tablespoons of Extra Virgin Olive Oil in the 4 quart saucepot over medium-low heat. Add the onion and garlic, season with a pinch of Kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper.
Sweat stirring occasionally until translucent. Increase the heat to medium and add the remaining ingredients.
Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer and reduce the heat to low. Let the tomato sauce cook for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Remove the sauce from the heat and taste for seasoning. Use your judgment and decide whether or not you need to add another pinch of salt and pepper and a drop of red wine vinegar. Reserve the sauce until assembly.
For the Eggplant
Rinse the eggplant under cold water. Using your Chef's knife, cut the eggplant lengthwise into 1/4" thick slices.
Lightly season the slices on both sides with Kosher salt and lay in a layer on the rack for 30 minutes to draw out some moisture.
Over medium-low heat, warm enough Extra Virgin Olive Oil to cover the bottom of the 12" sauté pan. Pat the moisture off of the slices with the paper towels and dredge them in the all-purpose flour to evenly coat each slice, shaking off the excess. In a few separate batches, gently sauté the slices in a single layer, until they are a light golden brown on each side.
Upon removing the eggplant from the pan, lay them out to cool on the rack in a single layer. Reserve the eggplant until assembly.
To Assemble the Parmigiana
Start by spreading a thin layer of tomato sauce in the bottom of the 8" x 8" baking dish.
Lay down one even layer of eggplant followed by another thin layer of tomato sauce and enough Parmigiano-Reggiano and chopped parsley to evenly cover the tomato sauce.
Another layer of eggplant, tomato sauce, the mozzarella, Parmigiano-Reggiano and chopped parsley. Follow suit with 2 more layers comprised of eggplant, tomato sauce, Parmigiano-Reggiano and chopped parsley.
The top layer should be tomato sauce, Parmigiano-Reggiano, and chopped parsley evenly distributed from edge to edge and corner to corner.
To Complete
Bake in a 350 degree oven for 30 minutes. The top should take on a light golden color, and when a knife tip is inserted into the parmigiana, should come out hot to the touch.
When the parmigiana is finished baking, remove it from the oven and let stand at room temperature for at least 10 minutes before attempting to portion and serve. The longer it sits, the more stable it will be when portioned.

Learning Debian GNU/Linux
Author: Bill McCarty
Publisher: O'Reilly & Associates
E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
URL: http://www.ora.com/
Price: $34.95 US
Reviewer: Marjorie Richardson
Like most O'Reilly books, Learning Debian GNU/Linux is well-organized and well-written. The author, Bill McCarty, is an associate professor of computer science and obviously knows his stuff. The layout is well-done, and not filled with cutesy graphics to distract the eye.
Many books geared for the Linux newbie have come out in the past year—most of them try to stay vendor-neutral. This book follows the recent trend of focusing on one distribution, in this case, Debian. I actually like this trend, as many newbies are confused when presented with variations in the different distributions, so sticking to one should make discussion clearer and shorten the learning curve for some. Also, Debian is not the easiest of distributions to install and use, so a book devoted to it is deserved.
This book contains a goodly amount of information, and not all of it is for the newbie. It is truly a guide to the entire system, not just an introduction. While introductory material such as a history of Linux, installing, configuring, definitions, etc. is presented, much more complex operations, such as setting up both a local (LAN) and a wide-area (WAN) network, are also described.
The material is presented in a straightforward manner, using clear, easy-to-understand language. However, I did feel the book was written with the computer-literate reader in mind. Even though he defines basics such as "what is an operating system", it still reads as if he expects you to already know. Indeed, he tells you how to get information you will need to install Linux by using your MS Windows menus.
Mr. McCarty devotes entire chapters to user administration and X configuration, as well as networking. His desktop of choice is GNOME, and it too receives a chapter. Also included are chapters on games and connecting to the Internet. The appendices include a Linux directory tree, the principal Linux files, Debian utilities and a Linux Command Quick Reference. A CD-ROM containing the Debian 2.1 distribution is bound into the book.
The book is not without its faults. One amusing mishap is in Chapter 4. An introduction to useful Linux programs states that you will learn the simple text editor pico, then the author proceeds to teach you the simple text editor ae. Guess he changed his mind.
Overall, Learning Debian GNU/Linux is a complete reference guide to this distribution, and well worth adding to your collection of Linux books.

As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Tour of California: Riders to Watch
Tom Danielson (Garmin-Barracuda)
3 / 11
Last year, Garmin-Barracuda's Tom Danielson finished ninth in the Tour de France after coming in third at the Tour of California. The American comes back this year hoping for a similar pattern of results. Danielson's one of the best pure climbers in the sport, but often struggles in individual time trials. He'll need to do his best to limit his losses against the clock, while maximizing his gains in the mountains. Look for him to be one of Horner's biggest challengers on Mount Baldy.

Types of Lupus
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is the form of the disease that most people are think of when they speak of lupus. Systemic implies that the disease can affect many parts of the body, including organs. Symptoms may be mild or severe. Typically, the first symptoms of systemic lupus erythematosus develop between the ages of 15 and 45 years, but it does affect people younger and older too.
Discoid lupus erythematosus is a chronic skin disorder characterized by a red, raised rash which appears on the face, scalp, or other skin areas. The raised rash can become thick and scaly, possibly even causing scarring. The rash can linger for days, years, and possibly recur. Some, but not most, people diagnosed with discoid lupus will develop systemic lupus erythematosus down the road.
Subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus is a type of lupus with skin lesions that appear on parts of the body that have been sun-exposed. The lesions associated with this type of lupus do not cause scarring.
Drug-induced lupus, as its name suggests, is a form of lupus caused by medications. Many different drugs can cause drug-induced lupus. While symptoms of drug-induced lupus are much like those associated with systemic lupus, they typically disappear the drug is stopped. It's also important to note that the kidneys and brain are rarely involved.
Neonatal lupus is a rare type of lupus that can occur in newborn babies of women with systemic lupus erythematosus, Sjögren's syndrome, or no disease. Women with systemic lupus or other autoimmune disorders should consult with their doctor while pregnant. It's possible for doctors to identify mothers at high risk for complications.

WILDFIRE! American Humane Association Offers Tips To Help Protect You, Your Family And Your Pets Before, During And After A Wildfire
Aug. 18, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Wildfires are terrifying and dangerous phenomena. Officials are working valiantly to battle the blazes in
Idaho but it is important for all families to be prepared. To help, here are some tips from American Humane Association and the experts at its Red Star™ emergency services program to help protect you, your family and your pets in the event a wildfire threatens you:
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20101108/DC97343LOGO )
Before the Fire
- Know your wildfire risk and be aware of fire conditions.
- Plan multiple routes to a safe destination. NEVER leave pets behind.
- Evacuate your family and pets as early as you can and remember to take your disaster preparedness kit for your pets (i.e. First Aid kit, leashes, and pets' carrying cases, bowls, sanitation materials, chew toy, minimum 3 days, ideally 7-10 days of food, meds, water).
- Create a defensible space. Visit www.firewise.org for tips for preparing homes to reduce wildfire risk.
- Have a list of evacuation destinations including family and friends' addresses, boarding facility, pet-friendly hotels and emergency shelter locations.
- Make sure your animals are wearing collars and have current ID (consider micro chipping your animals as it provides a secondary means for identifying your animal); take their updated vaccination papers and a photo in case you become separated and need to identify your pet if he/she should you become separated.
- Stock extra pet supplies in your vehicle.
- Don't leave children or pets in vehicles.
- Don't leave pets tethered or crated without you.
- Practice loading cats and dogs in pet carriers before you have to.
- Practice loading large animals into a trailer and driving them before you have to.
- Stay tuned to emergency channels and heed instructions. Disasters can change quickly.
- Use caution when returning home and walking around the affected area. Avoid debris and do not allow children or pets to wander.
- Be cautious about all food, which may have spoiled when electricity was interrupted.
- Keep your dogs on a leash and cats in a carrier (until you can make sure your house and yard are safe and secure)
- Watch for objects that could cause injury or harm to your children or pets.
- Given pets time to re-orient. Familiar scents and landmarks may be altered and cause your pet confusion or to become lost.
- Keep children and pets away from downed power lines and debris.
- Keep an eye on children's emotional reaction to the crisis. Talk to children – and just as important – listen to them. Reassure them frequently that you, local officials, and their communities are all working to keep them safe and return life back to normal. Watch for symptoms of stress, including clinginess, stomachaches, headaches, nightmares, trouble eating or sleeping, or changes in behavior. If you are concerned about the way your children are responding long after the crisis is over, consult your doctor, school counselor or local mental health professional.
- Uncertainty and change in the environment affect animals, too, presenting new stresses and dangers. Your pet's behavior may change after a crisis, becoming more aggressive or self-protective. Be sensitive to these changes and keep more room between them, other animals, children or strangers. Animals need comforting, too. Comfort your pet with kind words and lots of pats or hugs. If possible, provide a safe and quiet environment, even if it is not their own home.
- Be aware that flooding or even flash flooding may be a concern after a wildfire, so please see our tips on flood preparedness.

Zagoria (or Zagorochoria or Zagorohoria), is a region and a municipality in the Pindus mountains in Epirus, in northwestern Greece. It is an area of great natural beauty, with striking geology and two national parks, one including the river Aoos and the Vikos Gorge, the other around Valia Kalda, to the east of the imposing snow-capped Mt Tymphe. The 45 or so villages of Zagori were interconnected by mountain roads and traditional arched stone bridges until modern roads were opened in the 1950s. The stone arched bridges were built by benefactions from expatriate merchants in the 18th century and replaced older wooden bridges.

Foraging Days
From Field to Plate .... At The Country Bumpkin we are passionate about wild food and cooking, so for us, each change in season heralds a new and exciting culinary opportunity - and we try not to miss a single one! The seasons dictate what's available to the forager, so one day is never the same as the next.
After Meeting at The Country Bumpkin HQ for a quick cup of tea and introductions we are off for the day, depending on the time of year, you could find yourself hauling in Crayfish or Ferreting for Rabbits for the morning. Elevens' will be a quick stop for another cup of tea and a slice of homemade cake to see us through till dinner. After Elevens' we'll prep the haul and get on with some foraging - gathering and identifying some of what mother nature has to offer. We'll stop at midday for something seasonal to eat and drink to keep you going. You could find yourself with a Bunny Burger, Rabbit Stew, Pigeon Bap, Crayfish Roll or maybe something new from the Country Bumpkin Kitchen. Another slice of cake will be on hand as well as yet more tea to wash it down with, the odd Elder flower Cordial or Nettle Beer may make an appearance and Sloe gin is always at hand - for medicinal purposes only of course! After lunch we will carry on with a bit more Foraging in readiness for the cook-up. Throughout the course of the day you'll also learn a wealth of old poaching methods as they present themselves for explanation. The day culminates in a cook up of all that we've gathered throughout the day, back at the Bumpkin Barn and it's the perfect chance for all you Gordon Ramsay's or Nigella Lawson's to get creative or to follow the simple Country Bumpkin recipes. Then sit back, relax and enjoy the fruits of a hard earned day in the field.
A very different gift.... If you wish to buy a day as a gift, we will supply you with a voucher and a leaflet for you to present to the lucky recipient on their special day. They can then contact us to arrange a date convenient for them.

Okay, so I've contracted with an excellent gunsmith to alter a new Saiga sporter to take AK magazines, and otherwise leave it alone, which is what I wanted. He'll leave making the gun 922r compliant to me. Great; I'm getting a first-class AK at a very low price. So far, so good. Obvious next question; what's the easiest way to comply with this peculiar law?(Corollary question, purely from curiousity--I'm no lawbreaker, even a little bit--but how would anyone know if I didn't? Are these guns subject to periodic inspection? If we're all going to all this trouble to obey the law, who's watching the store?)

To my knowlege there would be no way for ATF to track you (or any other possessor of a modifiable post 922r weapon) unless A- the FFL dealer you purchased from goes out of business and turns the 4473 forms over to them or B- The gunsmith that does the modification reports the mod to ATF. The issue is if the weapon ever falls into LE hands (is stolen/recovered or you are stopped/arrested) and a savy LEO knows what to look for. Realisticlly, the chances of it happening are very slim.
Then we need to shut down BATFE.
Fire everyone in Congress NOW.
Well, that's the way it goes. Thanks for the advice, but I had a fender-bender tonight and the cash I'd saved up for my Saiga will be going for auto repairs. Maybe someday.
Im looking to change my saiga 7.62x39 to take the standard mags where can i find a kit that does this. Also do they have kits to take the standard mag and make the gun 922r compliant ?

It feels like only yesterday that the legend of Frankel lived on with a performance of exceptional quality, yet one year on from that memorable renewal of the Juddmonte International, York is spoiled once more with an embarrassment of equine riches.
This year the York showpiece seems Al Kazeem bid to enhance his end season claims against his toughest opponent yet. Roger Charlton has not once shied away from a battle with his star colt, and the declaration of Toronado in this race has done nothing to alter that stance. Undefeated in 2013, with all bar one of his runs since a comeback from injury coming at the highest level, Al Kazeem will need to be at his very best to halt the continual progress of Richard Hannon's colt.Victories in the Coral-Eclipse, Tattersalls Gold Cup and Prince of Wales's Stakes have marked Al Kazeem down a vision of consistency at the highest level this season and hopes are high that the son of Dubawi can continue to provide his owner and breeder John Deer with further Group 1 glory after turning down the opportunity to sell his star to race in Australia last season.The Sussex Stakes finally saw Toronado complete the task which had been outstanding on his radar since early May, to turn away the consistent Dawn Approach for victory, and hopes have always been high that the son of High Chaparral may improve even further for the step up in distance. Toronado once been thought of as a colt with strong Derby credentials, but whilst those dreams were not realised there is both hope and time for the colt to develop into a powerful force in the middle distance ranks.Victory on Wednesday would fast track his presence amongst the middle distance elite and surely prompt a rethink over end season targets with stablemate Olympic Glory waiting in the wings for the mile division baton to be passed on.Declaration of War enters the Juddmonte International with a reputation to repair after the son of War Front has seemingly been found wanting when challenged by the top equines in Europe. The winner of the Queen Anne Stakes at Royal Ascot, Declaration of War has threatened to run a huge race in his last two starts, most notably cantering alongside Dawn Approach in the Sussex Stakes as if he were about to bound clear for an upset victory, and the chances of Declaration of War cannot be under-rated. Short of top class for consistency, it would be no surprise to see Declaration of War finally come through with a phenomenal performance and catch many off guard.Trading Leather and Hillstar both enter this race with creditable performances under their girths from the King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes, a race won in style by the German-trained Novellist. Trading Leather has provided the Classic division with a much needed sense of consistency this season, whilst Sir Michael Stoute's Hillstar continues to progress in the nature that you'd expect from a Stoute-trained colt whom has been given the opportunity to blossom inhis own time.Wednesday figures to provide Stoute with the answers to many outstanding questions as both Hillstar and Telescope pit their wits against the very best at York on Wednesday, with the latter facing up against his Classic rivals in the Great Voltigeur Stakes for the first time a fortnight after being defeated at the track over two furlongs shorter.James Toller's Rewarded, a consistent performer in lower grades and one that has formed a strong partnership with Kirsty Milzareck, rounds out the field of six.

Zirconia-based restorations and reinforced glass ceramics are the fastest growing segment in the North American laboratory market. Zirconia's high flexural strength (900-1100 MPa) and fracture toughness (8-10 MPa) are two of its unique advantages compared to current glass filled ceramic systems. When considered with the material's ability to "transformational toughen", zirconia can now be considered a universal indirect restorative material.
CAD/CAM technology, together with excellent mechanical and aesthetic qualities, has expanded the clinical use of zirconia to include aesthetic conservative restorations and long-span restorations. In addition, zirconia's hard and dense surface is ideal for resisting wear damage to opposing dentition and making zirconia an attractive material for dental restorations. The applications of zirconia in dentistry include: endodontic posts, implants, implant abutments, orthodontic brackets, cores for crowns, full contour restorations, and fixed partial denture prosthesis frameworks.
The use of Zirconia in conservative aesthetic dentistry in combination with short, non-retentive preparation designs commonly seen in today's complex restorative cases demands that chemistry be created to allow development of adhesive primers, specific to oxide-based materials. This chemistry enhances the adhesion between hydrophobic resin composites/cements and indirect oxide-based substrates (zirconia, alumina, metal). BISCO's goal was to create a cohesive interface between the zirconia and resin cement, improve initial bond strengths capable of resisting hydrolytic degradation, and allow for the use of stronger and more durable resin cements.
Silane to Porcelain Bonds
Figure 1: Oxide-based indirect substrates require primers with phosphate co-monomers to ionically bond.
The key to optimizing adhesive performance and durability is in understanding that enamel and dentin are alive. and zirconia, alumina, metal and glass are dead! Enamel and dentin require adhesives such as ALL-BOND SE® and ALL-BOND 3® that create micro-retention and infiltrate. Oxide-based indirect substrates require primers with phosphate co-monomers to covalently bond to the oxide such as Z-PRIME Plus. Glass porcelains require silane to interact with silica in glass to form siloxane such as BIS-SILANE™ or Porcelain Primer (Fig. 1). Cohesively recreating the lost fibrous DEJ between dentin/enamel and the primed indirect substrate are luting cements, which should be hydrophobic, stable upon aging and have self-cure modes that are proven.
Finding the solution to zirconia bonding begins with an understanding of adhesive interfaces. The gold standard in luting cements are hydrophobic resin cements such as DUO-LINK™. Unfortunately hydrophobic cements do not naturally adhere to oxides, and require a primer to create a cohesive interface. Traditionally, zirconia bonding incorporated the use of self-adhesive resin cements such as BisCem® or glass ionomer cements. Phosphate monomers within self-adhesive cements do have a mild affinity for zirconia oxide and can be used with confidence in retentive preparation designs, but unfortunately these categories of cements are known to be physically weaker. Creating simple adhesive systems that allow for the use of hydrophobic resin cements that work synergistically to improve retention is possible, and this is the case with DUO-LINK SE.
Issues with Zirconia/Silane Primer
Figure 2: To maintain a good shelf-life, pH of one-bottle silane primer systems should be adjusted to 4-5.
Zirconia/Silane Primer vs. Silane Primer
Figure 3: The combination of silane and phosphate monomer reduces bond strengths to Lithium Disilicate.
The research of Dr. Byoung Suh and others confirm that the use of Silane such as BIS-SILANE or Porcelain Primer in conjunction with micro-mechanical retention from HF acid or sandblasting is the gold standard of protocols addressing glass indirect substrates including lithium disilicates, reinforced porcelain and feldspathic porcelain. Stability of silane is dependent upon pH of the mixture and requires special attention by the manufacturer. Two recently introduced primers--marketed as suitable for both glass and oxide-containing indirect substrates--contain silane in addition to a phosphate monomer; but the combination of these two require a pH that causes silane to become unstable, resulting in hydrolysis and a significant loss of bond strength to porcelain and lithium disilicate (Fig. 2).
Optimizing adhesive performance to Lithium Disilicate and glass-based porcelains, BISCO offers BIS-SILANE (2 bottle) or Porcelain Primer (1 bottle), specifically made to address glass substrates without the incorporation of phosphate monomers. Coupled with the use of BISCO's Porcelain Etchant (4% or 9.5% HF) the clinician can have confidence in predictable bonding to glass substrates (Fig. 3).
Chemical chelation hydrogen bonds; van der waals forces
Figure 4: Cohesive adhesion to oxide-based materials.
Through exhaustive research, BISCO has uncovered the formula that allows for cohesive adhesion to oxide-based materials (Fig. 4).
Research supports the fact that MDP phosphate monomers contribute to long-term durable bonding to zirconia, while silane does not contribute to zirconia (oxide) adhesion. BISCO, in a proprietary formula, combined both phosphate and carboxylic monomers to create a stable, adhesive formula. Silane was not incorporated, which allows for greater concentrations of phosphate monomer that research shows promotes zirconia adhesion and provides stability in the formula. The proprietary combination of two proven adhesive monomers results in a "first of its kind" primer, Z-PRIME Plus for adhesion to zirconia, alumina and metal (Fig. 5). In addition, the co-monomers enhance the effectiveness of competitor cements over their own primers. (Fig. 6).
Strong Bond Strength to Different Substrates
Figure 5: Z-PRIME Plus significantly increases adhesion to zirconia, alumina and metal.
SBS of Z-PRIME Plus with Different Cements
Figure 6: Z-PRIME Plus significantly enhances the bond strength of other resin cements.
The weakest link in cementation of indirect substrates should not be the luting cement. With Z-PRIME Plus, hydrophobic resin cements such as DUO-LINK can be used. The traditional use of weaker self-adhesive cements, including glass ionomers, can now be improved. Additionally, a dual-cured cement is preferred over a light-cured only cement, removing the potential for limited light transmission through opaque zirconia, alumina and metal copings.
However it is important to note that all dual-cured cements are not created equal. Finding a dual-cured cement that performs equally well in both light-cured and self-cured modes, is not affected by aging, and has an appropriate and accurate setting time can be a challenge. Resin cements that fully polymerize in the self-cured mode within six minutes allow for interproximal flossing, whereas one that sets in 10 to 12 minutes requires careful and appropriate measures not to interfere with the bonding we are trying to create.
Bonding Zirconia Crowns
Figure 7: Short/tapered, non-retentive Zirconia crown adhesively bond with resin cement.
The ideal protocol for luting a zirconia, alumina or metal crown in conservative or non-retentive conditions: (Figs. 7 and 8)
Z-PRIME Plus Technique For Placement
Figure 8a: Clean the internal surface of the restoration; rinse and air dry.
Figure 8b: Apply 1-2 coats of Z-PRIME Plus, uniformly wetting the internal surface. Dry with an air syringe for 3-5 seconds.
Figure 8c: Proceed with cementation using a luting cement such as DUO-LINK.
This combination creates a linked cohesive/hydrophilic seal between tooth and the indirect restoration. In preparations with adequate retention/resistance form, self-adhesive resin cements such as BisCem can be used. BisCem contains hydrophilic phosphate monomers and bonds to zirconia as well as to the dentin/enamel substrate. Bond strengths are lower (10-12 MPa), but in retentive preparations, the ease of placement is a compelling benefit. However, Z-PRIME Plus can be used with self-adhesive resin cements like BisCem to double the bond of self-adhesive cements to zirconia, alumina and metal.
