text: I think you're spot-on with what they're trying to do. They're competing against vodka and other spirits companies even moreso than craft beer brewers when it comes to their target consumer. The "cool" appearance of the packaging and commercials take priority over even the product itself. (Thus the room full of black-clothed DBs in the Black Crown Super Bowl commercial.) You're not buying a beer, you're buying an image... Same with Beck's Sapphire. Cool black bottle, but I'll take a Prima Pils over Sapphire any day of the week.

Dynamic cell growth, division and movement are hallmarks of life and are essential for the formation of an organism, yet our understanding of the molecular basis of these processes is far from complete. The Dynamic Cell 2014, jointly organized by the British Society of Cell Biology and the Biochemical Society, will focus on the molecular biology underpinning the dynamic nature of these key cellular processes.
Investigators using different model organisms and both in vivo and in vitro approaches will showcase the most exciting and topical findings from the UK and around the world in dynamic cell biology.
Areas of particular focus will be the role of membrane traffic, chromosome and centrosome behaviour, the functioning of the cytoskeleton and structure and function of motor proteins in regulating and co-ordinating dynamic cellular behaviour.
The winner of the Biochemical Society and British Society for Cell Biology Poster Prize was awarded to:
Amy Wilson
The winner of the Biochemical Journal Poster Prize was awarded to:
Mark Richards - The Formin FMNL3 in angiogenesis

The Ohio Supreme Court has scheduled oral arguments over a new trial for a Cleveland man who killed 11 women and hid the remains in and around his home.
Elias Acevedo, suspected killer and serial rapist, appears in court
CLEVELAND - Elias Acevedo, the 49-year-old Cleveland man charged with the murder of 30-year-old Pamela Pemberton and 18-year-old Christina Adkins, appeared in court Wednesday.
He sat silently, looking at his hands, as his attorneys discussed his case with the prosecution and the judge.
Acevedo was arrested in June on a 1993 rape after DNA connected him to the case. Earlier this month, he was charged with nearly 300 more counts that included the murders of Pemberton and Adkins and the kidnapping and rapes of three other victims.
The day after his indictment, NewsChannel5's Kristin Volk discovered underwear in the ceiling of his former home.
Due to the seriousness of the second indictment against Acevedo, his trial date was continued. The prosecutor noted during the hearing that, since the murders happened in 1994 and 1995, there is a decade of investigation records that both sides need to review.
Prosecution also requested that the rape victims' identities be protected by the courts, although the defense will have access to the information.
His next hearing is scheduled in two weeks, when the judge will set a trial date. He is currently being held on a $5 million bond.
Today is a day that has been years in the making for the families of Anthony Sowell's victims.

Hi ladies, I recently created a profile but I have been reading this board now for about 4 years. Anyway, today was DS first practice with a 3-4yr old YMCA basketball team. He did TERRIBLE, DH and I are worried. DS pretty much just wanted to play with the ball and hoop and he didn't pay very much attention to the coach at all. The other kids really payed much more attention to the coach.
To his defense, DH and I play basketball with him using a "Little Tikes" brand b-ball hoop and plastic ball. We had no idea that at this age they use full size balls and a hoop lowered to about 6 feet! BTW DS was premie and IUGR and we are starting GH this summer. If we were on the fence, just seeing that he is a full head shorter than the rest of his team would have pushed us over.
Has anyone started their kids in team sports, do you think I am starting too soon, or is this good for him? Please help, he is my first and I just don't know what to do.

When it comes to rejuvenating the economy, sectors like housing, manufacturing, and small business tend to steal the most attention. Councilman David Oh, however, has his eyes on music.
At a Thursday news conference in City Hall, the councilman unveiled PHL Live, a four-month contest to bring prominence - and prizes - to deserving Philadelphia musicians. A sort of Philadelphia's Got Talent.
"We want to recognize music as not just a hobby, but a job that needs to be paid," Oh said. "This is really about the economy of the music industry. I'm no musician, but I want to make sure musicians in this city can succeed in their industry."

Put the gammon in a very large pan with 2 litres water and bring to the boil. Remove from the heat and drain off the water – this helps to get rid of some of the saltiness. Recover with 2 litres cold water and bring to the boil again. Put everything but the frozen peas into the pan and bring to the boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 1½-2½ hrs, topping up the water as and when you need to, to a similar level it started at. As the ham cooks and softens, you can halve it if you want, so it is all submerged under the liquid. When the ham is tender enough to pull into shreds, it is ready.
Lift out the ham, peel off and discard the skin. While it is still hot (wear a clean pair of rubber gloves), shred the meat. Remove bay from the soup and stir in the frozen peas. Simmer for 1 min, then blend until smooth. Add a splash of water if too thick, and return to the pan to heat through if it has cooled, or if you are making ahead.
When you are ready to serve, mix the hot soup with most of the ham – gently reheat if made ahead. Serve in bowls with the remaining ham scattered on top, and eat with crusty bread and butter.

This soup has lots of potential but it's not quite there yet.
Firstly - WAY too much meat. You need to halve if not quarter the amount of ham in this recipe otherwise you will find yourself eating shredded ham with a light coating of pea soup.
Secondly - if you follow the recipe and keep topping up with water you will end up with a really watery soup so you need to let it boil down a bit. It might be worthwhile topping up in the early stages when the ham is still being cooked in one piece but it's worth letting the stock reduce later on.
I've done this recipe a few times and have never used split peas, just loads of frozen ones. Also used an unsmoked/salted ham so I leave out the first stage. One of my absolute favourite soups and so cheap!
Heston B. had a recipe for a mint oil for his pea and ham soup. Get a handful of mint, drop in boiling water for 15 seconds. press on kitchen towel then blitz in a light flavoured veg oil. Drizzle on top. Really lifts up the soup.
Made this today for the inlaws tomorrow. I just kept the ham separate once I'd shredded it and will add it when I reheat it. I did find that it needed extra split peas though, to thicken the texture a bit, so I cooked up an extra cupful and added them. Taste amazing and will definitely make it again.
loved it. It does take quite a while to do with all the soaking, shredding etc but is most definitely worth it. From others comments, I doubled the amount of dried peas. I also used 2 hocks as they were so cheap....but I think next time I would only put half the amount of the meat into the soup as mine was abit overcrowded with meat. I am sure my husband will disagree with that comment!!!
Made huge amounts, was cheap to make. Will be making again
I like soup to be thick and tasty, but I felt there wasn't enough dried split peas to give it enough texture. Maybe I shouldn't have topped up the stock covering the hock so often, which left it "diluted" in flavour! However it was still good, but not 5 star! Secret would be to keep tasting as you go along, and I would personally add more split peas to the soup rather than the froz peas at the end.
A good hearty soup, perfect for a cold day. The prep time; boiling the dried peas first, & shredding the ham, etc., made it a long process. The peas didn't soften up much even though I hadn't added salt, (?!!), but I gave them a good blitzing.
I used too much water to cook the ham which left the stock a bit 'thin', so I used half to cook some barley, which I added. It ended up being chunky instead of creamy! I garnished it with lots of fresh coriander.
Next time I'll try to keep it smooth. It might also be nice with the addition of a splash of hot pepper sauce.

Antonio Valencia is currently having an underwhelming campaign, one that could see his future as a Manchester United player put in real jeopardy.
The Ecuadorian winger was one of the Red Devils' most consistent players last season, and arguably their top performer in the final few months.
But with Wilfried Zaha due to arrive in the summer, Valencia's poor form could see his position at Old Trafford further marginalised.
He is no longer a regular starter, and has been kept well clear of United's most important games in 2013.
Why is this? What is behind Valencia's rather sudden loss of form?
Here are five possible reasons.

By the Associated Press Japanese determination to seal off the China coast against American landings in that vital area was heavily underscored Saturday as the Chinese high command reported a second.

The landing, on the south bank of the Min river south- east of Foochow, apparently was designed by the Japanese to secure for them a zone in which airfields could be constructed. Planes frftm such fields could blast any invasion forces ap- proaching China in that coastal area. The Initial Japanese invasion, di- rected against Foochow, was on Sept. 27. Tlie Chinese said brisk fighting continued in Foochow's northwest- ern suburbs and that the invaders to the southeast were "being en- gaged by our forces."

The Americans over-ran Bcggendorf, Baswciler, Herbach, Mcrkstein, Hofstadt and Alsdorf as they hammered to a point five to six miles inside Germany in the onrush that was described by an American staff officer as a definite breakthrough. The U. S. troops are meeting less artillery fire and weaker opposition, field dispatches reported tonight. Tanks, infantry, artillery and supplies poured into Germany through the gap torn by the Americans. Planes and tanks battered at the enemy as the U. S. advance units press- ed ahead.

"There still are defenses ahead of us, but we have driven through the main line of resistance in this sector." ..The .whole 400-mile front stirred restlessly. The U. S.
