FIST Suit & Dyno-Flex Baton
The FIST #333 Police Training Suit (Black) is the most comprehensive Defensive Tactics suit ever devised. Its most outstanding characteristic is that it is capable of receiving blows from real weapons (PR-24, Asp, etc.) at full power without endangering the trainer. This allows the officers in training to become accustomed to their street weapons on a human target. It also gives the trainee the sense of timing, speed and weight that accompanies a real weapon. This can be very important in preventing injuries to both police officers and citizens.

Cabinet Re-do Plunge..Scared, Help
I'm taking the plunge this summer and re-doing my kitchen cabinets; they are sooooo outdated and ugly. I'm just struggling with what color to paint the cabinets. I can't afford to redo the counter top yet so it will stay.
What do you suggest?
I'd like a more modern feel in my kitchen.The doors look dated with those dark lines and I want to cover that up. I was thinking of this type of door using bead board and then trimming it out. Does that look outdated too? I'm trying to avoid having to use wood filler in all these grooves. :) Any other recommendations?
Oh, I'm not much help because I actually REALLY like your cabinets. I would start by taking off the wallpaper border and replacing the hardware. Then pick a complementary wall color and a new light fixture.
If your cabinets are very yellow, maybe you can put a gel stain on them to remove some of the yellow.
Also, look into having glass inserts in some of the uppers.

Check out IKEA Fagerland.
I just think that a paint job is alot of work and it's hard to achieve a professional job.

Paint will do wonders. Get rid of the old hardware, especially the huge hinges, prep well (there are numerous how-to's here on GW), and paint a soft creamy white. You will need a good wood filler for the old hardware holes. I wouldn't fill the grooves - they will look totally different when painted and updated with new hardware. After all, the beadboard has grooves also.
Painting cabinets can be a lot of work, but a DIY job can look professional IF YOU DO THE PROPER PREP WORK AND USE THE RIGHT MATERIALS.
Remove the border, new lights, and new wall paint.
Go for a modified country/cottage look.
what I would do:1. leave the sink and stove side as is except for paper removal and paint and perhaps new faucet with loads of character. 2.Remove soffitt on fridge side, from the right of fridge to the end of counter run at far left. 3 look into recessing fridge behind studs a few inches 4. reconfigure the fridge wall with side panels for fridge and all new cabinets with a "hutch" feel including glass doors/up to ceiling/custom finish/perhaps a painted color/furniture feet/etc. At a later time go back to sink and stove area and do something if you wish...with the painted /stand alone treatment around fridge you'll find many things will blend with it.....you will have two finishes in the kitchen....and while thinking about it you also will have two finishes and the "old" pine won't seem so bothersome because of the custom treatment of the fridge wall which will look tremendously improved and be the visual focus until you are ready to do the other side.I wouldn't rule out replacing the fridge itself-is it nearing that time?-the new model can be part of what you undertake for that side! [You can easily sell the cabs you remove on fridge wall on Craig's list I bet]
I agree. I would actually keep the cabinets, change the hardware, get rid of the wallpaper and switch out the countertops.
You could paint the cabinets (which might be tricky with all those knotholes, which absorb paint at a different speed than the rest of the wood). You could also just get new doors...but I suspect that might be out of budget.
Any thoughts on flip flopping and doing the countertops instead? I think that and the wallpaper is what is really dating the kitchen, IMHO.
I can't believe so many of you like the cabinets as is! I guess since I recently painted the wood trim in another room that was an awesome transformation, it makes these cabinets look blah now. I'm trying to go a little more contemporary with the house and these cabinets scream country to me.
I tried changing out hardware, but that thing to the left of the hinges is nailed into the door and when you pull it off that is an outline of the actual "thing" indented in the wood. Thus the reason for the whole paint saga, otherwise I would have changed hardware a long time ago.
I had considered just buying all new doors so I might have to go back to that idea.
Herbflavor I love the idea of the custom hutch feel but I am a novice at home reno. To think of getting my DH to cut a stud, oh geez I have thought of my entire house falling down around us.
I would love to have all new counter tops but that would mean I'd have to get rid of the backsplash too. That was my DH first DIY project = disaster. I had a huge hole in my wall behind the stove where he couldn't get the tiles off without ripping drywall. We had to pay someone to put what you see there now.
I never even thought about the wallpaper and painting the walls. This is why I love you all. :) What would you recommend for the walls?
Here is a pic of the entry way that leads to the kitchen. This is our most recent DIY completion.
Here's the other side of my kitchen. I want to get rid of that high table since I have little kiddos now and we usually eat in the dining room. I wanted to do something different, like more cabinets on that far wall. DH had the idea of doing away with table and doing a penisula by the dishwasher. I'm not sure if that is possible with the window right there, it might be too low.
Any other thoughts would be appreciated.
Late chiming in, but since you mentioned getting rid of the table in favor of a peninsula, have you considered a banquette/window seat with a dining-height table? That would be a nice feature to view from the entry. You could use colors from the tile, and kitchen and entry walls, for fabrics to tie everything together. And window seats can provide storage.
BTW, great job on the entry! I love those colors, but you seem to have taken it in a more cottage, than modern, style. I would agree with tuesday's advice, above-- leave the grooves on the doors, and paint the cabinets an off-white/cream (maybe try to match the light tile in the backsplash). I'd also paint the door to the right of the fridge. That will give you more options for wall color.
I had the cream color that I used on my cabinets mixed in satin for the walls, and put color on the ceiling.
If the hardware created indentations, how would you deal with that when painting? Would whatever filler actually stick to the doors?
Below is a link about refreshing a knotty pine kitchen. I like the idea of removing some of the doors.
How about green or blue for the wall?
Here is a link that might be useful: reviving knotty pine kitchen
I saw your entry and was really impressed - just hadn't associated it with this kitchen. Now I can really see the transformation you can make with painted cabinets:).
Bummer about the indentions in the doors from the hardware :(. It seems a shame to have to replace the doors because of that - I still want to see them white:)
Has anyone ever seen the hardware painted white with the doors??
I think your counter and backsplash are fine.
After seeing your eating area, I have to agree with mama goose - a window seat and banquette will look awesom there - great for kids.
I actually think the cabinets are the least ugly part of the combination. The greenish brown tiles on the counter are dismal at best, and do terrible things to the wood tones in those cabinets.
The previous owner seems to have addressed walls countertops and cabinets as if they were three different things that didn't have to relate to each other in the slightest. This is what happens with so many partial updates. The latest and greatest is selected with no consideration as to what it does to what's already there.
I would removed the borders and paint the walls and change the countertop and leave the cabinets, strap hinges and all.
The budget is limited, but I would allot the money planned for the new hardware, possibly doors, and cabinet paint for removing the backsplash and repairing or replacing the drywall in that area first.
Thanks for all the compliments! We surprised ourselves how good it turned out. :)
I do like the creamy white idea for the cabinets since the counter top is soooo dark, but I have a question. How will that work with the trim in the kitchen and the entryway so bright white? I've been told or thought that your trim must be the same throughout the house. Is that true?
Mama Goose I love the banquette idea! I'm so new at this I don't even know what my taste is...lol..I guess I thought my idea of the black and white was more modern. I just don't want country. Everyone in my family has a country style house (they live on farms literally).
Nosoccermom--My thought was to use wood filler, but I haven't done research if it will work or not. I was going to just cover the whole from with beadboard and trim it out to not have to deal with it at all.
I would have never thought of blue for the kitchen. A lighter or medium tone? I do have a sage green color already in my living room. I get so nervous with paint. It's okay to have every room in your house painted a different color?
Thanks so much for your input, it gives me courage!
In my quirky world, trim does not need to be consistent throughout the whole house. But, I used the same color on my cabinets, trim, soffits, and walls, in both kitchen and dining room. I have a variety of trim styles, so I wanted it all to blend, not contrast.
If you don't know what your taste is, yet, do searches on all the different styles--cottage kitchens, contemporary kitchens, etc., on google images, and also on houzz. You can also search the Finished Kitchens Blog, for GW member's kitchens. Hookedonhouses is another blog that has a lot of kitchen pics. Pretty soon you'll be as TKO (totally kitchen obsessed) as the rest of us. :)
Here is a link that might be useful: google search--do cabinets and trim need to match?
Does looking at 12K pics on Houzz last night classify me as obsessed yet?! I was up until 2a and woke up at 6a back at it again.
Things I do know now:
--creamy white cabinets
--paint soffit same color as cabinets and put crown molding on soffit for the illusion of extended cabinets.
--Banquette seating under window
Things I do not know:
--Have some open cabinets vice glass doors (pic below). Already have white dishware and clear glassware I use everyday and would save $$ on doors. I think I would go with the corner cabinet because it goes all the way back and I can't get to items back there easily.
--Should I make the banquette seating wrap around the wall? Not all the way maybe halfway. We always have people over and this would give more seating.
--The soffit extends over the pantry door. Will it look odd to have that painted same color as cabinets & crown molding? Should I make pantry doors look like cabinet doors?
--Wall color
My soffit is not flush with the cabinets.

Below is a thread on window seat banquettes and nooks, and you can find more by searching google:
gardenweb kitchen banquettes
If floor space is tight, a corner seat would leave more room--less space needed for chairs to pull out. I think I posted on a recent thread, but can't recall which one, that banquettes and nooks are great to corral kids during a meal, but I think an adult would feel hemmed in, especially if one had to ask someone else to move, to allow him out. Also, a pedestal or trestle table allows easier access. Sometimes I use a small drop-leaf that is the perfect size, and leaves enough room for sliding in, without tangling with the table legs.

If you've been considering a seasonal job to bring in some extra cash during the holidays, it's time to start going through the job listings. (Check sites like Indeed, GrooveJob and Snag a Job for opportunities in your area, or visit a company's site or location directly.) There are numerous opportunities and possibilities that open up to you when you land that seasonal holiday position, beyond just having some extra dough in your pocket for festivities and holiday shopping.
Thanksgiving is almost here, which means we start seeing turkeys everywhere—on TV, in our children's school drawings, running through our dreams every single night while we sleep ... you get the idea. And eventually these poor turkeys will be inside many of our overstuffed stomachs as well.

n order to run the new Tap & Turn Greenteeth system, you must use the LoPro pocket system. The pocket supports the tooth and the tooth clears the way for the pocket. Therefore, the strength of the tooth depends primarily on a strong, well designed pocket. The increased diameter of the LoPro Pocket also provides clearance all the way around the pocket's bore. Additionally, Greenteeth reduced the thickness of the LoPro Pocket by over 30 percent compared to their original 500, 700, and 900 series pockets. This improves the clearance between the side of the pocket and the stump to approximately 3/4". Made of alloy steel and through-hardened, they're designed for industrial use.Match pockets to the series of Greenteeth you're running. SmartBolts are fastened by the threads in the pockets.

Intel launches free Easy Migration app to transfer files to Chromebooks
The software helps users move files from their Android, iOS, and Windows devices to an Intel-powered laptop running the Chrome OS.
The software helps users move files from their Android, iOS, and Windows devices to an Intel-powered laptop running the Chrome OS.
Back in September, IBM and SUSE announced a partnership making SUSE Enterprise Linux available on IBM's Power8 based systems. Now it's Red Hat's turn. Is it time to consider a new platform?
Microsoft is looking to the .NET Core to help bring its programming framework across different Windows flavors, as well as Linux and Mac OS X.
Using SUSE Linux means never having to say 'reboot'.
SUSE, the enterprise Linux company, is working on its own storage solution using open-source Ceph: SUSE Storage.
Microsoft is porting its server-side .NET stack to Linux and Mac OS X, and is making more of that stack available as open source.
SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 is available today. And with it SLES 12 brings several significant new features and extensions to the desktop and to the datacenter.
With the release of Lightworks version 12.0, EditShare reaches its goal of a cross-platform video NLE for Windows, Linux and now OS X. Unfortunately this is accompanied by a substantial price increase for the Pro version.
Now that IBM has sold its Intel-based server business to Lenovo, Big Blue is taking the gloves off and trying to take business from the chip giant by positioning its Power8 processors as a more open option.
The partnership also marks a first for all parties involved being that SoftLayer will be the first cloud vendor to sell bare metal cloud servers deployed with Intel monitoring and security tools.
IBM rolls out Power Systems Linux support and training across its customer-facing technology centers.
You can install any modern Windows or Linux version, desktop or server, using Hyper-V in Windows 8.1. But you'll need to bring your own license and software for the base OS. Here's how to get that OS cheap or even free.
You'd better get ready for the personal computing, BYOD, and corporate computing revolution. Linux is coming to a desktop near you. But not like you think or had hoped. It's coming in the form of the Chrome OS on Chromebooks.
KVM, Linux's built-in hypervisor for the x86 chip family will be available at the end of this quarter for IBM's Power chip family.
AT&T, Cisco, GE, IBM AND Intel join forces to form ragtag big data team with Industrial Internet Consortium.
This is the distribution that is touted as the "easiest" transition from Windows to Linux, so how does it stack up?
A new variant of the Darlloz worm focuses on manipulating home systems to mine for digital currency beyond Bitcoin.
The scarcity of Linux desktops might keep it safe from malware, but web servers, dominated by the OS, are a different matter.
The City of Munich, famous for dropping Windows for a Linux OS, has chosen open-source software to handle mail and calendar for its staff.
Once the world's second-largest Linux distributor, Red Flag software has closed down reportedly due to mismanagement and after owing months in unpaid wages.

Do you have what it takes to handle Rockstar's latest?
It's like Hot Coffee all over again, except this time it's intentional.
There will be no Grand Theft Auto V beta.

We've updated our guide to the best gaming laptop, with new recommendations for a 15-inch model and a thin-and-light.
Ben Griffin provides context and commentary followed by the full, original text of our GTA: San Andreas review, published in the July 2005 issue of PC Gamer UK.
As expected, Grand Theft Auto V has appeared on Steam, boasting of a number of enhancements to the game as well as an all-new video editor.
Rockstar revealed earlier this week that Grand Theft Auto V is on its way to the PC and next-gen consoles this fall. You may now throw your money at it, and Rockstar has a handy site all ready to take that money.
So Grand Theft Auto V is coming to PC. Hooray! I've played a /lot/ of the Xbox 360 version—it's my favourite GTA game to date—but I was always thinking in the back of my mind about how much better it would be with a smoother frame rate, sharper textures, and running at a resolution higher than 1280x720. The good news, then, is that the long-awaited PC version will have all of these things, as

Ask someone to associate a real, live human with Grand Theft Auto today, and they will most likely say Dan or Sam Houser, the current heads of Rockstar Games.

Now Dailly is revisiting his 1997 opus with modern

With the current-gen console versions of Grand Theft Auto 5 now on shelves, and the launch of GTA Online just days away, the time is surely nearing for Rockstar to drop the pretence and confirm what everyone suspects: that the game is heading to next-gen consoles and, more importantly, PC. We're confident a Rockstar team is beavering away on a Windows version right
After months of remaining silent about the latest thug-life simulator known as Grand Theft Auto V, Rockstar Games is finally loosening its lips. In addition to a gameplay trailer released earlier this morning, Rockstar exchanged a few words with Game Informer about how GTA V's gameplay has improved over its predecessors.
Few games are designed to make you laugh. And among those that do, laughter is often a happy accident, the inadvertent by-product of a combination of systems that provoke moments of unintentional comedy.
"People laugh at videogames constantly," says former Irrational Games alumnus Jordan Thomas, who recently worked as creative consultant on South Park: The Stick of Truth. "But largely it's
Grand Theft Auto 5 was absent from the E3 conferences, suggesting that Rockstar understand that the series has broad enough appeal to bother tangling too much with platform holders. A set of nine new GTA 5 screenshots should tide fans over until its September console release, but we'll hold out for the as-yet-unannounced PC version. Every GTA game has found a home on PC eventually, so hopes are
An emerging theme in the games industry is developers engaging the idea that games may be disproportionately violent or too derivative. Deus Ex creator Warren Spector spoke out about the latter recently, launching off the reveal trailer for the new Wolfenstein: A New Order. Joining the conversation now is Jeremy Pope, a veteran of Rockstar Games and former production manager for Grand Theft Auto

Interior FOR, Brussels, Belgium, by adn Architecture
The Groninger Museum presents the first large-scale solo exhibition of the work of Jaime Hayon (Madrid, 1974). Hayon is one of the most acclaimed designers of his generation. His work consists of autonomous and applied projects, across various disciplines such as ceramics, wood, glass, textiles, product, furniture and interior design. This exhibition is a reflection of the past ten years, a period of intense creativity and growth, in which Hayon has increasingly developed his autonomous work.
Hayon was educated as an industrial designer in Madrid and Paris, and subsequently joined Fabrica, the communications research centre of the Italian clothing label Benetton, in 1997. Within a relatively short time he rose from being a simple student to head of department. In 2000, he started up his own company and made his debut in the art design world with the ceramic work Mediterranean Digital Baroque. The Groninger Museum has been following Jaime Hayon for quite some time. In 2009, the Museum purchased two large installations (Mediterranean Digital Baroque and Mon Cirque) and in 2010 he designed the Museum's new information centre. With commissions from all over the world and a host of renowned clients, Hayon is regarded as one of the most influential young designers of the present day. The exhibition includes the installations Mediterranean Digital Baroque and Mon Cirque as well as the now iconic Green Chicken and commissioned works for clients such as Baccarat and Lladro. American Chateau, the collaborative project he made with his partner artist, Nienke Klunder, is also featured in the exhibition.
A remarkable element of the exhibition is The Tournament: a unique work that consists of a life-size chess set made of turned wood and hand-painted ceramics, which the Groninger Museum managed to purchase recently. Hayon created this work in 2009, having been commissioned by the Design Festival London to do so; the work was inspired by the Battle of Trafalgar. This is the Dutch première of the artwork. The intention is to organize chess games at specified times. Jaime Hayon's work issues from an irresistible urge to create his own world. It occupies a central position between autonomous art and design, where amusing, fantastic and narrative elements are combined with a keen eye for detail and finishing. His signature is characterized by a stylized input in which diverse styles blend together. Making use of all these other elements, Hayon translates craftsmanship and traditional techniques into emotionally influential objects and interiors that invite the viewer to be a part of them.

systems is an exhibition of commissioned poster designs and '60s Braun products.
Recent years have seen a revival of interest in modernist graphic design, but little agreement about what, in practical terms, this might mean or what is ultimately at stake in it. Thirty-four leading graphic designers and studios were invited to produce a poster design on the theme of Braun systems design. From repetition and development to nostalgia and critique, the diversity of response to the systems brief offers a snapshot of the international graphic design scene in this moment of uncertain possibility. At the same time, systems samples some of the best and most challenging work currently being produced.The works are available for purchase as a limited edition of A1 prints, individually or as a cased set.

Japanese designer Tokujin Yoshioka has created a boutique for Issey Miyake, stocking the more experimental and unusual creations from the legendary designer. Yoshioka wanted to play on the idea of shopping in laboratories, so he designed the Issey Miyake Reality Lab. with a clinically themed interior divided into blue and green coloured zones, he describes "the contrast between the texture of peeled wall and the futuristic coloured aluminium expresses contrast between history and future."

Mathieu Lehanneur and Pullman reinvents meetings with the 'Business Playground' room as a perfect illustration of the "blurring" of private and professional life. This room reflects the brand's 'Work hard, Play hard' motto as well as its guests' lifestyle. It combines performance and pleasure with a fresh take on the traditional aspects of a meeting: a meeting table designed like a poker table, a private area for informal conversations or breaks, and a cabinet of curiosities. All these features are designed to stimulate creativity and reinvent international hospitality codes. The Pullman London St Pancras will premier the 'Business Playground' room from November 2013, before it is gradually rolled out across the network starting in 2014. Pullman is an event organization expert, with over 30,000 events organized in its hotels. It aims to offer a unique meeting experience and remove the increasingly artificial barrier between work and relaxation. The 'Business Playground' room is a far cry from very formal conventional meeting rooms and disrupts the codes of business with style by focusing on defining elements and unique furniture create specially for Pullman.

Next to Schiphol, Amsterdam's international airport, Powerhouse Company designed Art Warehouse, a new space that combines art storage, meeting rooms and exhibition space. LiNK Art Company is an art consultancy for businesses, institutions and individual clients, providing a wide range of art services. Together with Studio Rublek – architectural light designers – they asked for a new space that is efficient in storing art and also serves as a maximized showcase for guests. The paradox of efficiency and beauty is solved by creating a grid based on shelving systems and placing a modern pavilion in the center of the space. The ground level handles all logistics and situates the storage facility. This specially designed depot fulfills the highest standards for art care, maintenance and storage. The walls of the pavilion are used to exhibit a selection of the available art pieces. Different lighting fixtures, from Studio Rublek, illuminate the art. The walls also create two meeting rooms in the heart of the pavilion. These meeting rooms can be divided and closed off with sliding doors integrated in the walls. The first floor, with its mirror glass outer edge, serves as a terrace in the space. This terrace provides an extension of the exhibition space where special pieces – like design furniture and contemporary sculptures – can be exhibited. The space also gives a panoramic overview of the currently stored art. With all these different spaces and functions, Art Warehouse is a multifunctional framework for meetings, exhibitions, art storage and light design in an existing warehouse building.

The house takes up its position, back facing the other houses, and simply embraces the entire horizon. The architect has limited terrain to work on. The trick however is to release all the emotions of the place: opening or splitting, reflecting infinity. Space and time are two infinite things that pass us by. Architecture, however, enables us to model space and set time, like a sundial. It can also embody a third infinite thing: beauty. The white walls are blank pages for nature's expression. The Sabine is a slow-growing pine, recounting the story of an ancient world.

It is said that 6 degrees of association separates every human on earth from another. The Gordons Bay House asks how 6 degrees of separation might negotiate a web of complex associations in order to produce an architecture that works for a wide group of people. Set on the hillside overlooking Gordons Bay, the design consists of three levels, each level alternatively offset from the boundary by six degrees. These devices allow the project to avoid stepping on neighbour's toes, without compromising the quality of the dwelling. The alternating levels all pivot around a dramatic double height gallery stairwell that accommodates the client's extensive collection of artwork and draws light and air through the centre of the dwelling.
The architecture is embraced and enhanced by landscaping designed by Terragram. A generous lawn is surrounded by edible plants, trees, vegetables and herbs, and the public lane to the south has been enhanced with endemic flowering plants. Built to last, the house uses off-form concrete slabs and edge beams allowing the structure to cantilever gracefully. This palette of materials, as well as the use of aluminium louvers, new and salvaged timbers, and sandstone all elegantly speaks of its seaside setting.

B-C, CN, Lexington win Cup openers
Host Brookland-Cayce, Lexington and Cardinal Newman opened the Nike Palmetto Cup with first-round wins on Wednesday.
The rain forecast for Thursday has prompted tournament officials to revamp the second-round schedule. There will be no games at The Cage. All matches, weather permitting will be at either the Granby Education Center or Northside Middle School.
The Thursday schedule: Wando vs. Cardinal Newman (10 a.m., Granby); Gaffney vs. Brookland-Cayce (11:45 a.m., Granby); Lexington vs. Myrtle Beach (1:30 a.m., Granby); Westwood vs. Dobyns-Bennett (, 3:45 p.m., Granby); South Pointe vs. Seneca (4 p.m., Northside); Farragut vs. Fort Mill (5 p.m., Granby); Walhalla vs. Gaffney (, 5:45 p.m.. Northside); Bishop England vs. Clover (6:45 p.m., Granby).
Brookland-Cayce (8-1) routed Clinton 9-1 in the Cup opener. The onslaught began with a tally in the second minute by Herbert Cojulun, who finished with two goals and three assists. Tyler Brazell led the Bearcats with a hat trick, and Dontrell Taylor was credited with three assists.
Cardinal Newman (9-4-2) scored an impressive 2-1 win over Fort Mill, who came into the match with a 13-1 record and ranked No. 4 in Class 4A. The Cardinals get a shot at No. 1 Wando on Thursday. Koty Millard got CN on the board in the 33rd minutes off an assist by Harrison Laprin, who eventually scored the game-winner in the 63rd minute.
Lexington (10-3) whipped South Pointe 5-1 on goals by Evan Mills, Gian Ortega, Kyle Westerlund, Jonathan Salinas and Mark Hoog. The Wildcats square off against No. 1 (3A) Myrtle Beach in the second round.

Mystery Daylily in my Crocosmia!
In the fall of '07, Skybird brought me a Crocosmia 'Lucifer' from the RMG plant swap that I was unable to attend. I want to say that it came from Catladysgarden, but I'm not certain on that. Well the other day, I noticed a stem with some buds on it. I thought, wow, it's kind of early for the Crocosmia to start blooming, and then I realized it looked like a daylily. So I started looking at the foliage, and sure enough, there was some daylily foliage mixed in with the Crocosmia leaves. Well, this morning the blooms finally opened, and I have no idea what this is. I have 'Happy Returns' to the right, which is yellow, and 'Fooled Me' to the left, which is orange. There is a 'Merle Kent' a couple feet away, but it is pretty small still, so I don't think it could be popping up that far away yet. Anyway, does anyone have any idea what this might be? Catlady, if you see this, maybe you might recognize this?
I think it's a gorgeous lily, fits perfectly with my color scheme, just wondered what it's name is. The funny thing is if this thing hitchhiked in with the Crocosmia in '07, that it didn't show up last year.
Oh, I've included a link to a photo of 'Merle Kent', but it doesn't have the orange on the petals the way this one does.
Here is a link that might be useful: Hemerocallis 'Merle Kent'
When I saw what you're post was about, I was thinking it was from her too, Bonnie. If it was just a tiny root, it may have grown some foliage last year that you didn't even notice. Karen has her email address made public, and you might want to email her directly to see if she can identify it for you.
It IS pretty!
P.S. My Crocosmia is in full bloom now, so your's should be coming along!

ABSTRACT: Severe forms of hypertension are characterized by high blood pressure combined with end organ damage. Through the development and refinement of a transgenic rat model of malignant hypertension incorporating the mouse renin gene, we previously identified a quantitative trait locus on chromosome 10, which affects malignant hypertension severity and morbidity. We next generated an inducible malignant hypertensive model where the timing, severity, and duration of hypertension was placed under the control of the researcher, allowing development of and recovery from end organ damage to be investigated. We have now generated novel consomic Lewis and Fischer rat strains with inducible hypertension and additional strains that are reciprocally congenic for the refined chromosome 10 quantitative trait locus. We have captured a modifier of end organ damage within the congenic region and, using a range of bioinformatic, biochemical and molecular biological techniques, have identified angiotensin-converting enzyme as the modifier of hypertension-induced tissue microvascular injury. Reciprocal differences between angiotensin-converting enzyme and the anti-inflammatory tetrapeptide, N-acetyl-Ser-Asp-Lys-Pro in the kidney, a tissue susceptible to end organ damage, suggest a mechanism for the amelioration of hypertension-dependent damage.Journal of Biological Chemistry 04/2009; 284(23):15564-72.

Article: Rapid loss of Oct-4 and pluripotency in cultured rodent blastocysts and derivative cell lines.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The POU transcription factor Oct-4 is essential for the pluripotent character of the mouse inner cell mass (ICM) and derivative embryonic stem (ES) cells. We analyzed the expression of Oct-4 during culture and establishment of cell lines from mouse and rat preimplantation embryos. Oct-4 was rapidly lost in primary outgrowths of the majority of cultured embryos prior to any evidence of morphological differentiation. Oct-4 persisted in only a minority of strain 129 cultures, which can go on to give ES cells. We used transgenic rats in which the dual reporter/selection marker beta-geo is under control of Oct-4 regulatory elements to investigate the effect of direct selection for Oct-4 expressing cells. Ablation of all cells occurred, consistent with complete downregulation of Oct-4. Without selection, in contrast, continuous cultures of morphologically undifferentiated cells could be derived readily from rat blastocysts and ICMs. However, these cells did not express significant Oct-4 and, although capable of differentiating into extraembryonic cell types, appeared incapable of producing fetal germ layer derivatives. Downregulation of Oct-4 appears to be a limiting factor in attempts to derive pluripotent cell lines from preimplantation embryos.Biology of Reproduction 02/2003; 68(1):222-9. · 3.45 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: Intracardiac renin is considered to be involved in the pathogenesis of cardiac hypertrophy, fibrosis, and myocardial infarction. Cardiac renin is predominantly derived from the circulation, because preprorenin is not expressed locally and uptake of renin has been demonstrated. One mechanism of internalization recently described involves the mannose-6-phosphate receptor and requires glycosylation of renin. Based on previous observations, we considered the existence of another pathway of uptake, not requiring glycosylation and predominantly involving prorenin. This hypothesis and its functional consequences were investigated in vitro and in vivo. We demonstrate that isolated adult cardiomyocytes internalize unglycosylated prorenin, which is followed by the generation of angiotensins. We further show that transgenic rats, expressing the ren-2(d) renin gene in an inducible manner, exhibit markedly enhanced levels of unglycosylated renin within intracellular compartments in the heart as a consequence of the induction of hepatic transgene expression and the rise of circulating unglycosylated prorenin levels. Because in this model severe cardiac damage occurs as a consequence of the rise of circulating prorenin levels, internalization of prorenin into cardiac cells is likely to play a key role in this process.Circulation Research 06/2002; 90(10):1135-41.

Article: Association of the D allele of the angiotensin I converting enzyme polymorphism with malignant vascular injury.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To determine whether there is an association between the insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism of the human angiotensin I converting enzyme (ACE) gene and malignant vascular injury (MVI). The polymerase chain reaction was used to genotype DNA extracted from archival, paraffin wax embedded renal biopsy material from 48 patients with MVI, made up from cases of malignant hypertension (n = 23), scleroderma (n = 10), and haemolytic uraemic syndrome (n = 15), and from whole blood samples from 191 healthy controls. The D allele was found more frequently in cases of MVI than in healthy controls, (65% v 52%). Both the DD and I/D genotypes occurred significantly more frequently in patients with MVI than did the II genotype (chi(2) = 7.26, p = 0.007; and chi(2) = 4.06, p = 0.04, respectively). Possession of at least one copy of the D allele is associated with an increased risk of developing MVI. Our data support a dominant mode of effect for the D allele. Use of the I/D polymorphism as a genetic marker for MVI may be of value clinically in identifying at risk individuals before the development of target end organ damage. Furthermore, those at risk may benefit from early ACE inhibition.Molecular Pathology 03/2002; 55(1):29-33.
Article: Controlled hypertension, a transgenic toggle switch reveals differential mechanisms underlying vascular disease.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A novel inbred rat model with inducible hypertension has been generated using a renin transgene under the transcriptional control of the cytochrome P450, Cyp1a1 promoter. The degree and duration of hypertension are regulated tightly by administration of the natural xenobiotic indole-3 carbinol and can be readily reversed. Induction experiments reveal distinct temporal and mechanistic responses to hypertensive injury in different vascular beds, which is indicative of differential susceptibility of organs to a hypertensive stimulus. The mesentery and heart exhibited the greatest sensitivity to damage, and the kidney showed an adaptive response prior to the development of malignant hypertensive injury. Quantitative analysis of morphological changes induced in mesenteric resistance arteries suggest eutrophic remodeling of the vessels. Kinetic evidence suggests that locally activated plasma prorenin may play a critical role in mediating vascular injury. This model will facilitate studies of the cellular and genetic mechanisms underlying vascular injury and repair and provide a basis for the identification of novel therapeutic targets for vascular disease.Journal of Biological Chemistry 10/2001; 276(39):36727-33.

ABSTRACT: Genetic background has a major influence on the manifestation of multifactorial diseases such as hypertension in which severe complications may be caused through an interaction with additional factors, which may be genetically determined. We have previously described a genetic model of malignant hypertension (MH) in rats carrying the mouse Ren2 gene (TGRmRen2-27), in which the phenotype is dependent on the genetic background. Using a single homozygous TGRmRen2-27 male as transgene donor, we produced two F1 populations with (a) 100% penetrance of MH in progeny heterozygous for the Fischer F344 genetic background and (b) 58.5% penetrance in progeny heterozygous for the Lewis genetic background. To identify the modifier loci affecting the phenotype, a cohort of 252 males was produced by breeding the same single male with Fischer-Lewis F1 females. The progeny were phenotyped for clinical and pathological features of MH. Genome-wide screening and quantitative trait loci (QTL) analysis identified two loci, on chromosome 10 (LOD 4.4) and on chromosome 17 (LOD 3.9) close to the Ace and At1 genes, respectively, which contribute to the lethal MH phenotype. Their influence on mortality was consistent with a multiplicative effect of the two loci. In addition, we found higher plasma angiotensin-converting enzyme activity in progeny receiving the Fischer allele than in progeny receiving the Lewis allele (123.5 +/- 9.5 vs. 91.8 +/- 4.9 U/liter, P < 0.01), suggesting the association of angiotensin-converting enzyme and MH. Our study demonstrates the application of a transgene as a "major gene" to facilitate the identification of modifier loci, which can affect the phenotype of MH, and reveals Ace and At1 as candidate genes involved in the manifestation of the MH phenotype.Kidney International 09/1999; 56(2):414-20.

Article: Genotype and cardiovascular phenotype: lessons from genetically manipulated animals and diseased humans.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Recent advances in our understanding of the molecular genetic basis of cardiovascular diseases have been facilitated through animal models and human case studies. The identification of genes that contribute to human disease leads to functional studies of disease-associated mutations, and the use of genetically manipulated animals in these types of study are providing important insights into molecular mechanisms in vivo. This article reviews some genetically manipulated animal models of cardiovascular diseases, and their relevance to human conditions. Application of these approaches to address physiological questions is also discussed.Current Opinion in Nephrology and Hypertension 02/1997; 6(1):51-7. · 4.24 Impact Factor

Short Cuts
St. Maximian, Malchus, Martinian, Dionysius, John Serapion, and Constantine "The Seven Sleepers" (Martyrs) July 27 A.D. 250 Having confessed the faith before the proconsul at Ephesus under Decius in 250, they were walled up together in a cave in which they had hid themselves, and there slept in the Lord. Some moderns, mistaking this expression, have imagined that they only lay asleep, till they were found in 479, under Theodosius the younger The truth seems to be, that their relics were then discovered. They are much honored by the Greeks, Syrians, and all the Oriental nations. Their relics were conveyed to Marseilles in a large stone coffin, which is still shown there in St. Victor s church. In the Museum Victorium at Rome is a factitious plaster or stone (made of sulphur melted with fire and mortar), formed in imitation of a large precious stone in which is cut a group of figures representing the Seven Sleepers with their names and near Constantine and John are exhibited two clubs; near Maximian a knotty club; near Malchus and Martinian two axes; near Serapion a burning torch, and near Danesius (whom others call Vionysius) a great nail. That large nails (clavi trabales, or such as were used in joining great rafters or beams in buildings) were made use of as instruments of torture is evident from St. Paulinus and Horace. From this ancient monument some infer that these martyrs were put to death by various torments, and that their bodies were only buried in the aforesaid cave. In this group of figures, these martyrs are represented all as very young, and without beards. In ancient Martyrologies and other writings they are frequently called boys. The cave in which their bodies were found became a place famous for devout pilgrimages, and is still shown to travelers, as James Spon testifies.

All Blacks turn to Ranger power
July 15, 2010

Rene Ranger has been named for his first All Blacks start while Piri Weepu has also been promoted at the expense of Jimmy Cowan for New Zealand's Tri-Nations clash with South Africa in Wellington on Saturday.
Coach Graham Henry delayed the naming of his side to wait on injury news on wing Joe Rokocoko and scrum-half Cowan and their places have been taken by Ranger and Weepu respectively in the only two changes to the team that smashed the Springboks 32-12 in Auckland last Saturday.
Rokocoko failed to overcome a hamstring strain and while Cowan has recovered from an abdominal strain, his mixed display at Eden Park has seen him replaced by 39-test veteran Piri Weepu, who has been largely employed as an impact player in recent seasons.
The only other change in the 22 sees Israel Dagg introduced as outside back cover in place of Richard Kahui, who injured his shoulder in the Auckland test.
Ranger made his debut with 25 minutes off the bench at outside centre in the defeat of Wales at Hamilton on June 26 when he impressed with some lively bursts, although he butchered a likely try when ignoring an overlap outside him. Assistant coach Wayne Smith admitted Ranger's ability at the top level was still in question but his raw talents meant he was worth the risk.
"Rene's like any new player. Coming up to this level is quite a big ask because you have to learn the tactical approach that we're taking and the moves that we're going to use," he said. "Then you've got to come up to the level mentally. But you've to be careful that you don't clutter these guys and you let them go out and do what they're good at.
"We selected people because they're good at what they do at Super 14, we just have to make sure that we allow them to do that, back their instinct and play like they play on any rectangle any given Saturday."
Ranger was a standout for the Blues during the Super 14, beating defenders effortlessly through a mix of pace and rare power for an outside back, although he his sometimes erratic displays - which typified the Blues' inconsistent season - saw him dropped to the bench on the odd occasion. Smith said the world champion Springboks would not make life easy for the 23-year-old potential match-winner.
"There are other players who look a million dollars (at provincial and Super 14 level) and can't quite cut it in the test arena. You don't quite know until you play them," Smith said. "You never know until they're in the heat of the battle, how they're going to react."
New Zealand: M Muliaina (Chiefs); C Jane (Hurricanes), C Smith (Hurricanes), M Nonu (Hurricanes), R Ranger (Blues); D Carter (Crusaders), P Weepu (Hurricanes); T Woodcock (Blues), K Mealamu (Blues); O Franks (Crusaders); B Thorn (Crusaders); T Donnelly (Highlanders); J Kaino (Blues); R McCaw (Crusaders, capt), K Read (Crusaders)

Final Score: Toronto 105, Orlando 90
Toronto, ON (SportsNetwork.com) - Kyle Lowry's perfect shooting display in the third quarter vaulted the Toronto Raptors past the Orlando Magic 105-90 on Sunday.
Lowry didn't miss a shot in the game-altering third, scoring 17 of his 28 points in the frame as Toronto rolled to its fifth win in six games.
DeMar DeRozan provided 24 points, Terrence Ross added 16 and Amir Johnson had 12 for the Raptors, whose 52.3 percent efficiency from the field offset 24 turnovers.
Tobias Harris and E'Twaun Moore netted 28 and 16 points, respectively, for the Magic, who have dropped 15 in a row on the road.
The Raptors led by three at halftime, and Lowry single-handedly helped them pull away after the break, as the emerging guard began his tear midway through the period with the first of his four 3-pointers in the frame.
He added a reverse layup and three free throws after being fouled on a 3-point attempt, then hit a stepback 3-pointer at the buzzer to give Toronto an 80-65 cushion heading to the fourth.
"He can create shots for himself and his team. He was taking deep threes," Magic head coach Jacque Vaughn said of Lowry. "You can't get discouraged. This is the NBA, guys are going to make shots."
Lowry kept the hot streak going in the final frame with a bank shot on the opening possession, and the Magic never made a serious run at altering the outcome.
"We keep coming out sluggish and turn it on later," Raptors head coach Dwane Casey said. "We just have to be able to do it for the whole 48 minutes."
Despite committing 11 turnovers in the first half, the Raptors brought a 44-41 lead into the locker room at halftime, thanks in part to making 10 free throws to Orlando's one.
Game Notes
The Raptors are six games over .500 (31-25) for the first time since Feb. 24, 2010 ... Toronto is 11-3 at home since New Year's Day ... This is Orlando's longest road skid since a 16-game drought from Jan. 27-March 21, 2006 ... Magic guard Arron Afflalo sat out with a sprained right ankle ... The Raptors have won six straight meetings against the Magic.
