Weather conditions: Sunny with light clouds.
Temperature: Air: 15 – 19 °C, Track: 17 – 26 °C
Number of riders participating: 21 from 12 teams
Fastest lap Race 1: Tom Sykes (Kawasaki Racing Team) 1:36.660 min
Fastest lap Race 2: Leon Camier (Aprilia Alitalia Racing Team) 1:36.476 min
Team BMW Motorrad Motorsport concluded the third round of the 2011 FIM Superbike World Championship in Assen (NED). In the riders' championship British works rider, Leon Haslam, is now fifth (68 points). Troy Corser (AUS) moved up to 12th (26 points). In the manufacturers' standings BMW is fifth with 74 points.
Troy had a very good start in race 1 and was lying third on the first lap. For most of the race he was pushing hard in a close fight with the leading group and finished sixth. Leon also made up positions at the start, but crashed on the third lap. He was able to continue and crossed the finish line in 12th. At the start of race 2 Leon made up a lot of places. He rode a consistent race finishing fifth. Troy's second race was ended by a crash on lap eight. The races were won by Jonathan Rea and Carlos Checa respectively.
The team congratulates the successful riders of BMW S 1000 RRs at the legendary 24 hour race "Bol d'Or" at Magny-Cours, who celebrate two podium finishes. Team BMW Motorrad France 99 with Sébastien Gimbert (FRA), Damian Cudlin (AUS) and Erwan Nigon (FRA) finished 3rd in the EWC Superbike class. In the Superstock class, BMW Team Van Boenig Motorsportschool with riders Michael Filla (CZE), Werner Daemen (BEL) and Matti Seidel (GER) also finished 3rd.
Leon Haslam:
Result Race 1: 12th, Gap to 1st: 00:45.289 min / Fastest Lap Race 1: 1:37.588 min
Result Race 2: 5th, Gap to 1st: 00:16.916 min / Fastest Lap Race 2: 1:36.816 min
"It's been a tough weekend. We have been encountering a few minor issues this weekend which have made lap by lap consistency difficult. The situation obviously wasn't helped by my crash in race 1. The back of the bike came round on me unexpectedly and I was unable to stop myself from crashing. I also got clipped by one of the other riders when I was on the floor, which meant I was a little sore for race 2. Still I got a good start in the second race and managed to get up with the leaders, but sadly I was unable progress through the pack. But we still managed to secure another top five finish, and I know we will go away from here, work hard back at the workshop and prepare well for Monza."
Troy Corser:
Result Race 1: 6th, Gap to 1st: 00:11.120 min / Fastest Lap Race 1: 1:37.135 min
Result Race 2: DNF / Fastest Lap Race 2: 1:37.229 min
"The first race was not so bad, and I was pretty happy with that. For the second race we just made a few adjustments to the rear shock and I think we improved the bike. Then I unfortunately lost the front tyre going into a corner. I am okay with no injuries, but it is a bit disappointing. In the free practice all went okay, but in the race we had some issues with the tyre. But we are now going to analyse that and to improve it for the next race."
Bernhard Gobmeier (BMW Motorrad Motorsport Director):
"Overall, we learnt a lot this weekend. In the first race Leon tried to win the race in the first couple of laps – he simply pushed a little too hard and lost the bike. He fought back bravely, but the race was over for him. Troy started the first race with 1:37 min laps, but unfortunately was not able to go at this pace all race long. His times dropped after five laps. After adjusting the traction control his lap times were good again, and he finally finished sixth. In the second race Troy struggled with grip, while Leon started well and was able to defend the fifth position up to the chequered flag. We now look forward to going to Monza."

Money management is the fundamental aspect of safe trading and the compony safety. I would prefer to work with a client with the capital at least 50 - 100 times the margine for a lot traded. And risks are the lower the higher the timeframe is, which also affects the requirements for the money invested.
everything is very simple, you just have to guess |

ForexScam posted: However, my advise to you is ask friends and family first. This will build up the capital quickly and with little effort. Next hit up Forex Peace Army, and any other Forex Forum where advertisement is allowed. Lastly, get on the bandwagon of SEO , paid advertisement, affiliates, joint venue, LinkedIn, FB, and any other networking site. And what if you lose the money of friends and family? Also, what about the regulatory side of things? Managing money for others usually requires registration with some regulatory authority. Regulation is on the increase globally and the headaches associated with this are increasing all the time. Also, advertising as mentioned above would also be illegal in several jurisdictions. Now, on a somewhat different note. Are you really sure you want to manage OPM? People tend to think that you need to make money the way they want you to, i.e. very little risk and high returns. Thus, if you try to keep your clients happy, clients can influence the way you trade and sobatage any chances you have of actually making money in the markets. A much easier way is to open an account with somebody like OANDA, deposit money into the account monthly and trade the account according to the plan. Trust me, if you can do this for 10 years, you will be surprised at the gains. I mean just $100 monthly at 20% per annum works out to approximately $37,500 after ten years. While this may not seem like much, 20 years down the line it could be approximately $300k. Definitely a tidy sum, and none of the headaches associated with OPM. Only problem is that it takes time, and most people are not prepared to work at it that long. |

If u trade with $100 , i suggest u dont trade fx better keep the money and spend . Do I detect a hint of greed here? Perhaps you need to read up on fear and greed. Plenty good books out there. In my example, you need to deposit $100 a month to reach that goal. Otherwise it will never happen. But this is just an example to illustrate a point. If you can deposit $1,000 a month, then the goal can increase to roughly $3 million before taxes. Still not bad I think. Also, have you considered the cost of drafting the prerequisite legal agreements before accepting client money? How about costs of registration with the appropriate financial regulator? Annual costs of ensuring compliance with eveything the regulator requires? Legal fees can be upwards of $10,000 and regulatory fees can also be in excess of $10,000 p.a. This is money that needs to come out of your pocket, not those of your investors. So, just starting up managing money can set you back $20,000 in fees. Next, clients can be a very difficult lot. Clients want super returns, but don't want you to lose their money. Through losing periods, they will contact you and threaten to pull their money. If you are dependant on their money for your survival, you will end up trying to please clients. Thus, you will be self-sabotaging yourself and probably end up blowing up. Even worse, if you are dependant on performance fees to survive, you will end up taking excessive risk and probably end up blowing up. However, if you can pull your living expenses from your own account (without needing to take excessive risk), the above risks are almost completely eliminated. Also, I see you advocating 2000:1 leverage. While this doesn't mean much, since risk can be controlled with other means, that does send a pretty big warning signal. You know that you can wipe out your account in less than one day, right? Regarding your comment about professional fx traders, I have seen quite a few 'professionals' here. Most of them promised high returns and ended up blowing up. Trading is like any other business, if you start it under-capitalised then you are just sabotaging your own chances. If you have a lost of spare cash available, then you give yourself a much better chance of survivial. But then, again what is the appeal of getting rich slow? |

The Adaptor Protein AP-3 is Required for CD1d-mediated Antigen Presentation of Glycosphingolipids and Development of Valpha14i NKT Cells
The Journal of Experimental Medicine. Oct, 2003 | Pubmed ID: 14557411
Relatively little is known about the pathway leading to the presentation of glycolipids by CD1 molecules. Here we show that the adaptor protein complex 3 (AP-3) is required for the efficient presentation of glycolipid antigens that require internalization and processing. AP-3 interacts with mouse CD1d, and cells from mice deficient for AP-3 have increased cell surface levels of CD1d and decreased expression in late endosomes. Spleen cells from AP-3-deficient mice have a reduced ability to present glycolipids to natural killer T (NKT) cells. Furthermore, AP-3-deficient mice have a significantly reduced NKT cell population, although this is not caused by self-tolerance that might result from increased CD1d surface levels. These data suggest that the generation of the endogenous ligand that selects NKT cells may also be AP-3 dependent. However, the function of MHC class II-reactive CD4+ T lymphocytes is not altered by AP-3 deficiency. Consistent with this divergence from the class II pathway, NKT cell development and antigen presentation by CD1d are not reduced by invariant chain deficiency. These data demonstrate that the AP-3 requirement is a particular attribute of the CD1d pathway in mice and that, although MHC class II molecules and CD1d are both found in late endosomes or lysosomes, different pathways mediate their intracellular trafficking.
The Mouse CD1d Cytoplasmic Tail Mediates CD1d Trafficking and Antigen Presentation by Adaptor Protein 3-dependent and -independent Mechanisms
Journal of Immunology (Baltimore, Md. : 1950). Mar, 2005 | Pubmed ID: 15749847
The short cytoplasmic tail of mouse CD1d (mCD1d) is required for its endosomal localization, for the presentation of some glycolipid Ags, and for the development of Valpha14i NKT cells. This tail has a four-amino acid Tyr-containing motif, Tyr-Gln-Asp-Ile (YQDI), similar to those sequences known to be important for the interaction with adaptor protein complexes (AP) that mediate the endosomal localization of many different proteins. In fact, mCD1d has been shown previously to interact with the AP-3 adaptor complex. In the present study, we mutated each amino acid in the YQDI motif to determine the importance of the entire motif sequence in influencing mCD1d trafficking, its interaction with adaptors, and its intracellular localization. The results indicate that the Y, D, and I amino acids are significant functionally because mutations at each of these positions altered the intracellular distribution of mCD1d and reduced its ability to present glycosphingolipids to NKT cells. However, the three amino acids are not all acting in the same way because they differ with regard to how they influence the intracellular distribution of CD1d, its rate of internalization, and its ability to interact with the mu subunit of AP-3. Our results emphasize that multiple steps, including interactions with the adaptors AP-2 and AP-3, are required for normal trafficking of mCD1d and that these different steps are mediated by only a few cytoplasmic amino acids.
Microsomal Triglyceride Transfer Protein Lipidation and Control of CD1d on Antigen-presenting Cells
The Journal of Experimental Medicine. Aug, 2005 | Pubmed ID: 16087713
Microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP), an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) chaperone that loads lipids onto apolipoprotein B, also regulates CD1d presentation of glycolipid antigens in the liver and intestine. We show MTP RNA and protein in antigen-presenting cells (APCs) by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and by immunoblotting of mouse liver mononuclear cells and mouse and human B cell lines. Functional MTP, demonstrated by specific triglyceride transfer activity, is present in both mouse splenocytes and a CD1d-positive mouse NKT hybridoma. In a novel in vitro transfer assay, purified MTP directly transfers phospholipids, but not triglycerides, to recombinant CD1d. Chemical inhibition of MTP lipid transfer does not affect major histocompatibility complex class II presentation of ovalbumin, but considerably reduces CD1d-mediated presentation of alpha-galactosylceramide (alpha-galcer) and endogenous antigens in mouse splenic and bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (DCs), as well as in human APC lines and monocyte-derived DCs. Silencing MTP expression in the human monocyte line U937 affects CD1d function, as shown by diminished presentation of alpha-galcer. We propose that MTP acts upstream of the saposins and functions as an ER chaperone by loading endogenous lipids onto nascent CD1d. Furthermore, our studies suggest that a small molecule inhibitor could be used to modulate the activity of NKT cells.
Synthesis and Evaluation of Sphinganine Analogues of KRN7000 and OCH
The Journal of Organic Chemistry. Dec, 2005 | Pubmed ID: 16323834
[structures: see text] The phytosphingosine-containing alpha-galactosylceramides (alpha-GalCers), KRN7000 and OCH, have been shown to activate NKT cells via interaction with CD1d, a member of the CD1 family of antigen presenting proteins. Evidence from KRN7000 stimulation of NKT cells suggests that alpha-GalCers may have applications in the treatment or prevention of a range of viral, bacterial, and autoimmune conditions. Moreover, OCH, a truncated analogue of KRN7000, appears to induce a T(H)2 bias, which could have implications for the treatment of autoimmune and inflammatory conditions. We have prepared the direct sphinganine-containing analogues of KRN7000 and OCH, 1 and 2, and found them to be comparable in activity to the parent compounds in inducing the release of IL-2, IL-4, and IFNgamma. In addition, compound 2 leads to a cytokine bias similar to that seen with OCH. This is significant because sphinganines are more easily accessed than phytosphingosines, which should facilitate SAR studies.
A Modified Alpha-galactosyl Ceramide for Staining and Stimulating Natural Killer T Cells
Journal of Immunological Methods. May, 2006 | Pubmed ID: 16647712
CD1d presentation of alpha-galactosyl ceramides to natural killer T cells has been a focal point of the study of regulatory T cells. KRN7000, an alpha-galactosyl ceramide originally generated from structure activity studies of antitumor properties of marine sponge glycolipids, is currently the most commonly used agonist ligand and is used to stain NKT cells. However, this glycolipid suffers from poor solubility and availability. We have developed an alpha-galactosyl ceramide with improved solubility over KRN7000 that effectively stains NKT cells, both mouse and human, and stimulates cytokine release at low concentrations.
Natural Killer T Cells Recognize Diacylglycerol Antigens from Pathogenic Bacteria
Nature Immunology. Sep, 2006 | Pubmed ID: 16921381
Natural killer T (NKT) cells recognize glycosphingolipids presented by CD1d molecules and have been linked to defense against microbial infections. Previously defined foreign glycosphingolipids recognized by NKT cells are uniquely found in nonpathogenic sphingomonas bacteria. Here we show that mouse and human NKT cells also recognized glycolipids, specifically a diacylglycerol, from Borrelia burgdorferi, which causes Lyme disease. The B. burgdorferi-derived, glycolipid-induced NKT cell proliferation and cytokine production and the antigenic potency of this glycolipid was dependent on acyl chain length and saturation. These data indicate that NKT cells recognize categories of glycolipids beyond those in sphingomonas and suggest that NKT cell responses driven by T cell receptor-mediated glycolipid recognition may provide protection against diverse pathogens.
Involvement of Secretory and Endosomal Compartments in Presentation of an Exogenous Self-glycolipid to Type II NKT Cells
Journal of Immunology (Baltimore, Md. : 1950). Mar, 2008 | Pubmed ID: 18292516
Natural Killer T (NKT) cells recognize both self and foreign lipid Ags presented by CD1 molecules. Although presentation of the marine sponge-derived lipid alphaGalCer to type I NKT cells has been well studied, little is known about self-glycolipid presentation to either type I or type II NKT cells. Here we have investigated presentation of the self-glycolipid sulfatide to a type II NKT cell that specifically recognizes a single species of sulfatide, namely lyso-sulfatide but not other sulfatides containing additional acyl chains. In comparison to other sulfatides or alphaGalCer, lyso-sulfatide binds with lower affinity to CD1d. Although plate-bound CD1d is inefficient in presenting lyso-sulfatide at neutral pH, it is efficiently presented at acidic pH and in the presence of saposin C. The lysosomal trafficking of mCD1d is required for alphaGalCer presentation to type I NKT cells, it is not important for presentation of lyso-sulfatide to type II NKT cells. Consistently, APCs deficient in a lysosomal lipid-transfer protein effectively present lyso-sulfatide. Presentation of lyso-sulfatide is inhibited in the presence of primaquine, concanamycin A, monensin, cycloheximide, and an inhibitor of microsomal triglyceride transfer protein but remains unchanged following treatment with brefeldin A. Wortmannin-mediated inhibition of lipid presentation indicates an important role for the PI-3kinase in mCD1d trafficking. Our data collectively suggest that weak CD1d-binding self-glycolipid ligands such as lyso-sulfatide can be presented via the secretory and endosomal compartments. Thus this study provides important insights into the exogenous self-glycolipid presentation to CD1d-restricted T cells.
Natural Sphingomonas Glycolipids Vary Greatly in Their Ability to Activate Natural Killer T Cells
Chemistry & Biology. Jul, 2008 | Pubmed ID: 18635002
Mouse natural killer T (NKT) cells expressing an invariant T cell antigen receptor (TCR) recognize glycosphingolipids (GSLs) from Sphingomonas bacteria. The synthetic antigens previously tested, however, were designed to closely resemble the potent synthetic agonist alpha-galactosyl ceramide (alphaGalCer), which contains a monosaccharide and a C18:0 sphingosine lipid. Some Sphingomonas bacteria, however, also have oligosaccharide-containing GSLs, and they normally synthesize several GSLs with different sphingosine chains including one with a cyclopropyl ring-containing C21:0 (C21cycl) sphingosine. Here we studied the stimulation of NKT cells with synthetic GSL antigens containing natural tetrasaccharide sugars, or the C21cycl sphingosine. Our results indicate that there is a great degree of variability in the antigenic potency of different natural Sphingomonas glycolipids, with the C21cycl sphingosine having intermediate potency and the oligosaccharide-containing antigens exhibiting limited or no stimulatory capacity.
Invariant NKT Cells Are Required for Airway Inflammation Induced by Environmental Antigens
The Journal of Experimental Medicine. Jun, 2011 | Pubmed ID: 21624935
Invariant NKT cells (iNKT cells) are a unique subset of T lymphocytes that rapidly carry out effector functions. In this study, we report that a majority of sterile house dust extracts (HDEs) tested contained antigens capable of activating mouse and human iNKT cells. HDEs had adjuvant-like properties in an ovalbumin (OVA)-induced asthma model, which were dependent on Vα14i NKT cells, as vaccinated animals deficient for iNKT cells displayed significantly attenuated immune responses and airway inflammation. Furthermore, the administration of HDEs together with OVA mutually augmented the synthesis of cytokines by Vα14i NKT cells and by conventional CD4(+) T cells in the lung, demonstrating a profound immune response synergy for both Th2 cytokines and IL-17A. These data demonstrate that iNKT cell antigens are far more widely dispersed in the environment than previously anticipated. Furthermore, as the antigenic activity in different houses varied greatly, they further suggest that iNKT cell responses to ambient antigens, particular to certain environments, might promote sensitization to conventional respiratory allergens.
Invariant Natural Killer T Cells Recognize Glycolipids from Pathogenic Gram-positive Bacteria
Nature Immunology. Oct, 2011 | Pubmed ID: 21892173
Natural killer T cells (NKT cells) recognize glycolipid antigens presented by CD1d. These cells express an evolutionarily conserved, invariant T cell antigen receptor (TCR), but the forces that drive TCR conservation have remained uncertain. Here we show that NKT cells recognized diacylglycerol-containing glycolipids from Streptococcus pneumoniae, the leading cause of community-acquired pneumonia, and group B Streptococcus, which causes neonatal sepsis and meningitis. Furthermore, CD1d-dependent responses by NKT cells were required for activation and host protection. The glycolipid response was dependent on vaccenic acid, which is present in low concentrations in mammalian cells. Our results show how microbial lipids position the sugar for recognition by the invariant TCR and, most notably, extend the range of microbes recognized by this conserved TCR to several clinically important bacteria.
Glycolipids That Elicit IFN-γ-biased Responses from Natural Killer T Cells
Chemistry & Biology. Dec, 2011 | Pubmed ID: 22195564
Natural killer T (NKT) cells recognize glycolipids presented by CD1d. The first antigen described, α-galactosyl ceramide (αGalCer), is a potential anticancer agent whose activity depends upon IFN-γ secretion. We report two analogs of αGalCer based on a naturally occurring glycosphingolipid, plakoside A. These compounds induce enhanced IFN-γ that correlates with detergent-resistant binding to CD1d and an increased stability of the lipid-CD1d complexes on antigen-presenting cells. Structural analysis on one of the analogs indicates that it is more deeply bound inside the CD1d groove, suggesting tighter lipid-CD1d interactions. To our knowledge, this is the first example in which structural information provides an explanation for the increased lipid-CD1d stability, likely responsible for the Th1 bias. We provide insights into the mechanism of IFN-γ-inducing compounds, and because our compounds activate human NKT cells, they could have therapeutic utility.

Mini Lemon and Thyme Scones
I have a thing for scones. The best ones are dense but tender. They might fall apart slightly, but somehow they're still moist. All that is probably thanks to the half and half and butter. Oh, yum.
My favorite place to go when I have some "me" time is Caribou Coffee. Being able to get out of the house, visiting with friends, reading a book in peace or just drinking coffee without someone talking to me is a really nice luxury when you are the mom to 4 little kids. So, I find myself at Caribou once or twice a week. My friend, The Inspired Cook, introduced me to their Lemon and Thyme Scones. At first, I was a little hesitant. Lemon and thyme? That seemed like a weird combination for a scone. I was wrong! These are so good.
The lemon and thyme combo is great. They play off of each other well. The flavors are subtle, which is really nice.
I made these using whole wheat pastry flour. I don't think I'll ever use all-purpose flour again. You can't even tell these are made with whole wheat flour. Seriously. Whole wheat pastry flour is so fine and soft that it's perfect for all your baking needs. Scones, muffins, cookies, bars, pancakes, whatever you want. Except bread. I would probably use regular whole wheat flour for bread.
That said. The whole wheat flour is the only healthy thing about these. There's sugar, butter, half and half, and powdered sugar. So, we'll eat these once in a while as a tasty treat.
Lemon and Thyme Scones
recipe adapted from Iowa Girl Eats
- 2 cups whole wheat pastry flour (or all-purpose flour)
- 1/4 cup sugar (I think I'm going to try replacing this with honey next time)
- 1 T baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1/2 cup cold butter
- 1/2 cup half & half
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
- For the glaze: 3 cups powdered sugar, 6 T half & half, and 1 tsp lemon zest
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together your flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and thyme. Grate in your cold butter until your flour is a really fine, sand-like texture.
- In a small bowl, whisk together, your half & half, egg, lemon zest and lemon juice. Stir this into your flour mixture. Roll it into a ball, and on a lightly floured surface, knead a few times until it all comes together. If the dough seems pretty dry, you can add a tablespoon at a time of half & half or milk until it comes together nicely.
- Roll dough into a rectangle about a 1/2″ thick.
- Cut rectangle into 6 rectangles, then cut each one in half. If you want them even smaller (mini), then cut them in half again.
- Put scones on the lined baking sheet and bake for 6-7 minutes for the mini scones, and 8-10 for the larger ones. They're done when they're just starting to brown. Move scones to a wire rack.
- While the scones are cooling, whisk together your glaze ingredients.
- When scones are cool, dip each one in the glaze, and then put back on the wire rack for the glaze to harden.
- Enjoy!
– Jill

There is no better location - walk to everything. The decor is so apropos for the setting - comfortable, inviting, and tasteful. We had a peaceful, quiet, wonderful stay with no complaints. (Just FYI, the loft bedroom is only accessible by a flight of stairs.) We were a little concerned about being so close to 2 gas stations, but they turned out to be really convenient for drinks and snacks. Be sure to eat at the Seafood Grill next door, Caroline's for breakfast, and Up the Creek and Verandah's for dinner. Oystercatcher was my favorite shop. Don't miss a walk on the beach at St. George Island.Recommended for: Girls getaway, sightseeing, age 55+, tourists without a car, romantic getaway.
Owner response: Thanks so much for your review and for choosing Cypress + Honey for your stay in Apalachicola. Hope to see you again soon. Susan

I can only think ot good things to say about Cyress and Honey. It was unique, beautifully decorated, very well appointed and convenient to all points of interest. The listing accuratedly depicted the location, but the photos do not do it justice. It was very clean and well maintained. I would definitely recommend this property to a friend or relative. We had a wonderful time. I hope to return sometime very soon.Recommended for: Girls getaway, sightseeing, tourists without a car, romantic getaway.

The pictures do not do this place any justice. If you think the pictures are gorgeous, wait until you actually stay here. It is perfectly located which means we parked the car in front and did not need to move it until we took a day trip out to St. George island. I was a little apprehensive when we first arrived because it is located between a gas station and a restaurant. My worries were unfounded. We neither heard any outside noise nor felt that we were lacking in privacy. Everything about the loft is perfect: the fully stocked kitchen, the private patio with gas grill, tastefully decorated interior. We can't wait to return and will stay nowhere else when we do.Recommended for: Girls getaway, sightseeing, age 55+, tourists without a car, romantic getaway.
Owner response: Thank you for choosing Cypress & Honey for your stay Maureen. I appreciate it. Susan

My husband and I just got back from a great week in Apalach and beautiful surrounds. This has got to be the best property in town. The online pictures don't do it justice - it appears to be appointed and decorated by true professionals! Within walking distance of many great shops and restaurants, this location was ideal for us after our busy days up and down the Forgotten Coast. This property is perfect for a couple's vacation pad, but will sleep more if needed. Comfortable beds and seating, great secluded patio, nice appliances, and even an outdoor grill (which we used for 2 meals!). Thank you for making our vacation super-special at Cypress & Honey!Recommended for: Families with young children, sightseeing, families with teenagers, tourists without a car, adventure seekers, romantic getaway.

we are still here for a "romantic getaway" and have found this to be the most awesome and comfortable place we have ever been!! I could definitely live here forever. The decor is great, we love the loft and the open space! You have done a marvelous job making this a very comfortable place to stay. Looking forward to coming back in the near future. Not having to use a car is so nice and the places we have visited, have all had such friendly people.Recommended for: Girls getaway, sightseeing, age 55+, tourists without a car, adventure seekers, romantic getaway.

My friends and I rented this space for a 2 day girls getaway. I was so pleasantly surprised to find out the location was right downtown and in walking distance of all the shops, restaurants and grocery stores! The apt/loft was beautifully decorated and was so comfortable that you feel like you are staying at a friend's house. I would recommend staying here and plan to reserve it again next time we need a mini vacation.Recommended for: Girls getaway, families with young children, tourists without a car, romantic getaway.

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2011
About the owner: I have been visiting Apalachicola for years. I return to the community enjoying the quirky, creative assortment of shops and restaurants which reflect the charm of the owners of these businesses. I am always grateful for and refreshed by the welcoming attitude and relaxed atmosphere. I am passionate about rennovating unusual spaces and live in a church as my full time home. Cypress & Honey is no less unusual a home away from home with its exposed brick walls, expansive cypress woodwork, and airy loft. It has the charm of downtown Apalach right outside its door, but also has privacy with an entry through a charming gated courtyard. Many restaurants and shops in the community have been featured in Southern Living, Coastal Living, and Wine Spectator. But what keeps me coming back is the charm of the residents. Nicest bunch of people you will meet....bar none!
Why the Owner Chose Apalachicola:
I chose to buy and rennovate this building that had long been vacant in the heart of downtown Apalachicola. The structure had great 'bones' and I am a sucker for the old and unusual. I hope you enjoy the space.
The Unique Benefits at this Apartment:
A unique living experience awaits at Cypress & Honey. Enjoy the airy loft, which looks out on your private courtyard. Walk to award winning restaurants and wine bars. Unique shopping, antiquing, and art galleries await you. World class fishing and wildlife sightseeing all a couple blocks away at the marina.

There is poetry here....
Located just down the hill and around the bend from Lenox Center, Brook Farm Inn welcomes you to the grace of its Victorian past and the comfort of the present. Lovingly furnished, this bed-and-breakfast inn offers tranquility, surrounded by an acre of award-winning gardens, and a tradition of poetry and literature.
At Brook Farm Inn, a sumptuous breakfast buffet awaits you in the morning, and afternoon tea and scones on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. In our firelit library, strains of classical music or jazz can be heard, and a jigsaw puzzle is always in progress. We showcase a "Poem of the Day," and sometimes guests are entertained at teatime with poetry readings or storytelling. Swim in our heated pool; relax in the hammock or on the porch.
Our guest rooms have private baths, air conditioning, ceiling fans, phones, and hair dryers. Some have fireplaces, canopy beds, tv's and whirlpool tubs. Handicapped accessible rooms are available. Each is distinctive, but all are warm and intimate, and beautifully appointed with antiques and period pieces. A guest pantry and refrigerator are available.
A short walk will find you in historic Lenox village. The area offers Tanglewood and other concerts, theater, dance, museums, hiking, skiing, restaurants and shopping, and breathtaking scenery. When you have finished exploring for the day, come home to us at Brook Farm Inn. Our hospitality is unsurpassed.
DIRECTIONS: Brook Farm Inn is approximately 45 minutes from Albany, 2 1/2 hours from Boston, 1 1/2 hours from Hartford, and 3 hours from New York City.
FROM POINTS SOUTH: New York Thruway to Exit 21A or the Taconic Parkway to the end. Travel East on Rte. 90 to the Mass Pike, Exit 2 (Lee). Turn right onto Rte. 20 West to a left turn onto Rte. 183 (also called Walker Street). Proceed to large monument in Lenox and make a sharp left onto Old Stockbridge Road. The Police station is on your left. Travel down the hill to Hawthorne St., first right turn.
FROM POINTS WEST: From Albany take Rte. 90 East to Mass Pike to Exit 2. Follow directions as above.
Two handicapped accessible rooms are available in our carriage house, set in the garden, a few feet from the main building. Each room is very large, with king bed and twin sofa bed, fireplace, tv/dvd, refrigerator and coffee maker, jacuzzi tub and separate roll-in stall shower with seat. These rooms have a private deck overlooking the pool and garden.

ok, first of all I would like to say I'm a regex IDIOT!. That being said, here's what I got:
RewriteEngine OnRewriteRule ^/([^/\.]+)/deals/([^/\.]+)/?$ index.php?key=$1&permalink=$2
What I'm trying to do is match the following url request paths:
The string will always start with / The string may or may not end with /The "key-goes-here" part will always be alphanumeric and - (hyphens to separate words)The "permalink-goes-here" part will always be alphanumeric and - (hyphens to separate words)
Thanks in advance
Using RegexBuddy
RewriteRule ^([^/.]+)/deals/([^\.]+)/?$ /index.php?key=$1&permalink=$2 [L]
Remove first slash. URL paths are localised "per directory" before being passed to mod_rewrite.
Don't escape period in character group.
Add the [L] flag.
Make sure rule is listed after rules which redirect.
The /? construct allows two URLs to serve the same content. This is a duplicate content problem For pages, allow only the URL without slash to serve content. Set up another rule which redirects requests with slash to URL without slash.

Welcome to the guild. I'm sure you'll find plenty of roleplays that match your tastes here.
Greetings and salutations, everyone. I'm TheSciFiGuy, or otherwise known as Andrew (not Andy or anything like that). I came across this site not too long ago. I've been looking for a new RPing place since my last pace, the forums of GaiaOnline, have grown lackluster in the types of RolePlaying that were being done. As my username suggests, I do love science-fiction. I grew up on a plethora of space-adventures, some with Jean-Luc Picard and others with the Skywalker clan. But I'm not limited to this only. I am a fan of fantasy as well, having been given hand-me-downs of C.S. Lewis and Tolkien. I look forward to creating and participating in various adventures, through extraterrestrial frontiers and blooming areas of magic.
Welcome to the Guild, TheSciFiGuy! Or Andrew if you prefer.
Glad to see you're enthusiastic about joining. I hope to see you wandering around here some time. If you happen to have any questions about the forum or need some help getting around, feel free to ask me or one of the other Comrades. We're the users with italicised usernames, and we'd be happy to lend a hand if you need it.
If you're looking to get started nice and quickly, I'd recommend starting with the Guild's Guide. It should answer most of your questions.

Warts and Plantar Warts
What Happens
Human papillomaviruses can live on healthy skin without causing infection. But when a human papillomavirus enters the body through small breaks in the skin, it can infect the skin cells beneath the surface, causing a wart to grow.
- A wart can take many months to grow before it becomes visible.
- Warts, particularly newer ones, are easily spread. They can spread to other parts of the body or to other people.
- Reference Plantar warts Opens New Window Reference Opens New Window can be pushed beneath the skin's surface by pressure from standing and walking. A thickening of the skin slowly forms over most of the wart and looks and feels like a callus.
- Reference Periungual warts Opens New Window Reference Opens New Window can affect nail growth.
- It may be hard to get rid of warts after they develop. But they generally go away on their own within months or years.
- Just before warts disappear on their own, they may turn black.

If you wear sunglasses, chances are you have a pair of Ray-Bans in your collection!
Ray-Bans have been around since 1937, with the most recognized style being the Wayfarer, which were introduced in 1956.
Another style that's perhaps as popular as the Wayfarer has to be the Aviators, which have dark reflective lenses, and very thin metal frames with a double or triple bridge and bayonet earpieces that hook behind the ears.
Both the Wayfarer and Aviators are considered to be the best-selling design of sunglasses.
Make senses, because Ray-Bans are sort of like status symbols, but swag symbols, no matter what the Ray-Ban preference.
LIST: 8 Great Hip-Hop References To John F. Kennedy & Jackie O!
And now that it's the eyewear brand's 75th anniversary, they've released the ambermatic collection, utilizing those photocromatic yellow lenses developed in 1978 that darken according to light and temperature. The ambermatic Ray-Bans are available in four styles — two Aviators, a Shooter, and a Outdoorsman. The collection will only consist of 18,000 models.
So if you don't get yourself a pair, there's plenty of hip-pop celebs who'll rock the s**t out of them!
Beyoncé, Rihanna, Zac Efron and Demi Lovato are just a few hip-pop celebrities who love to cover those faces with glasses, especially some Ray-Bans.

It will be headed to the riverfront, after all.
U.S. Transportation Ray LaHood will hold a conference call Thursday afternoon with media to announce that Cincinnati's planned streetcar system is getting a $10.92 million grant. The announcement is set for 12:15 p.m.
A prominent, nonpartisan group today announced its opposition to Issue 48, the proposed amendment to Cincinnati's charter that would block the creation of a streetcar system for at least a decade.
The League of Women Voters of the Cincinnati Area issued a press release today stating it opposes the amendment because the wording is so broadly written that it would prevent the development of any passenger rail system including light rail or commuter rail.
Without much fanfare
but with supporters looking on in the Losantiville Room in Union Terminal,
Cincinnati City Council passed an ordinance on Wednesday banning the injection of
wastewater underground within city limits.
"I'm proud to be on the first City Council to ban injection wells," said Councilwoman Laure Quinlivan, who submitted the ordinance to council.
"I want to give props to the solicitors … who have come up with a very unusual thing in City Council — a one page ordinance."
The ordinance, which passed unanimously after being voted out of committee on Tuesday, is aimed at preventing the injection of wastewater from hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, under Cincinnati. Its injection has been linked to a dozen earthquakes in northern Ohio.
Opponents also worry that the chemicals in the water, which is used to drill underground to free up gas and oil, can seep into drinking water. Oil and gas companies aren't required to disclose which chemicals they use.
It's unclear if the city's ban on wastewater injection would hold up against a 2004 state law that gives the state of Ohio sole power in regulating oil and gas drilling. That regulatory power also extends to Class 2 injection wells.
At a news conference earlier in the day, Quinlivan cited a ProPublica story that said between 2007 and 2010, one well integrity violation was filed for every six wastewater injection wells.
She says data like this makes it clear injection wells are
too dangerous.
Food and Water Watch organizer Alison Auciello spoke in
support of the City Council ordinance at the news conference.
"We're pleased City Council has moved swiftly for the protection of its
citizens," Auciello said.
The Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) has received no injection well
permit requests for southwestern Ohio, but Auciello says the legislation is a
good preventive measure.
Heidi Hetzel-Evans, a spokesperson for ODNR, says it wouldn't be feasible to
build injection wells in southwestern Ohio due to the region's geology.
"It's safe to say oil and gas drilling has no direct impact on
southwestern Ohio," Hetzel-Evans says.
Auciello says more bans like the Cincinnati ordinance are necessary in Ohio.
She says she's concerned that Ohio is being turned into a dumping ground as
massive amounts of wastewater from Pennsylvania are brought to Ohio due to a
lack of regulation.
Auciello also echoed calls from environmental groups to ban fracking in Ohio.
However, fracking supporters — including Gov. John Kasich — insist the process
can be made safe with proper regulations.
This story was updated to reflect City Council's afternoon vote.
The City of Cincinnati today released the final draft for its plan to "re-establish (Cincinnati) as a model of a thriving urban city." Plan Cincinnati, which will be taken up in a public hearing on Aug. 30 at 6 p.m., is the first master plan for Cincinnati since 1980.
The primary goal behind the plan is to transition the city away from a model that emphasizes suburban living back to a more urban model. The plan's report justifies the shift by attributing it to a new societal need.
"Dissatisfied, American society is now beginning to reverse the trend (of suburban living) with the hope of returning to an environment that is more economically and environmentally sustainable, less dependent on the automobile, closer in scale to human form, and ultimately, truly more livable," the report says.
The plan will make this transition with six guiding principles: Provide more transportation choices, promote equitable, affordable housing, enhance economic competitiveness, support existing communities, coordinate and leverage federal policies and investment, and value communities and neighborhoods.
The vague principles are outlined in greater detail in the 228-page report, which can be read in full here.
One of the key parts of the plan is its expansion of options for non-automotive travel. The plan promises to focus more work on bicycle paths, support a Bicycle and Pedestrian Program and build links between bicycle systems to allow more cycling through the city. The city will also "design and construct the Ohio River Bike Trail through Cincinnati" and make the city safer for cyclists by making roads smoother and cleaner.
The plan also encourages other transportation programs. Establishing better coordination with Metro buses, building intercity rail systems and integrating the new streetcar into a greater transportation model are a few of the many suggestions in the plan. With these systems, the plan hopes to "facilitate economic development opportunities."
Beyond transportation, the plan also seeks to establish environmentally friendly programs. Some of the suggestions are developing a green construction incentive program, implementing smart grid networks and reforming the LEED tax abatement program to include additional energy efficient rating systems.
However, the plan is missing one important detail: cost. The report says Plan Cincinnati will be reviewed every year using the new Priority-Driven Budgeting process, but no estimates for cost are currently available. Katherine Keough-Jurs, senior city planner, explained why in an email: "That is not something that we provide. We have found over the years that providing cost estimates in long-range plans is problematic and the estimates can be misleading. Also, some of the Action Steps listed are not necessarily things that would have a monetary cost associated."
A new Census Bureau report reveals that from 2005 to 2009, a segment of Over-the-Rhine had the highest income inequality of more than 61,000 communities nationwide.
The segment — known as Census Tract No. 17 — is the northeast quadrant of Over-the-Rhine. The findings were featured in an article Tuesday by McClatchy Newspapers, which attributes the disparity in the tract partially to gentrification and the influx of young professionals into the predominantly low-income neighborhood.
A social worker that has written a new book criticizing Cincinnati's development efforts in Over-the-Rhine will conduct a book signing Thursday.
Alice Skirtz, a Cincinnati native, is the author of Econocide: Elimination of the Urban Poor. She will host a book signing from 4:30-6:30 p.m. at Skirtz & Johnston bakery at Findlay Market, 113 West Elder St.
Proceeds from book sales at the event will be given to the Greater Cincinnati Coalition for the Homeless. Skirtz is the founding organizer of the coalition.
The book profiles growing economic inequalities in the city that is reflected in policy debates over contentious issues like panhandling, homelessness, planning and funding for affordable housing, zoning for social service agencies and site selection for shelters.
Written from a social worker's perspective, Econocide focuses on advocacy for people who are most vulnerable in society to promote and make sure they're included in the socio-economic policies of local government.
"Based on over 40 years of experience in working with the urban poor, I wrote this book to call attention to how they have become increasingly at risk of being removed permanently from the community and civic life," Skirtz said. "The growth of privatization has led to increasing economic inequities, lessening influence in administrative and legislative affairs, and decreasing access to housing and even public spaces. I intend for this book to lead to a change in how we treat the urban poor."
The book includes a blurb by David Mann, a local attorney who also is an ex-Cincinnati mayor and former congressman.
"You cannot read her book without tears coming to your eyes at some point and without wondering why a supposedly enlightened society cannot better balance the needs of the least among us with overall economic health and viability," Mann wrote. "You will ask yourself why we cannot do better."
As part of CityBeat's continuing election coverage, we've once again sent a questionnaire to the non-incumbent Cincinnati City Council candidates to get their reactions on a broad range of issues.
Nine of the 14 non-incumbents chose to answer our questions. Others either didn't respond or couldn't meet the deadline.
During the next few weeks, we will print the responses from the non-incumbents to a different topic each time.
Today's question is, "There is a movement afoot to move the Drop Inn Center homeless shelter out of Over-the- Rhine. Do you support or oppose this effort, and why?"
A review of the fine print in Ohio law could spell trouble for
Duke Energy in its dispute with Cincinnati about who must pay to move utility
lines to accommodate the city's streetcar project.
Readers of CityBeat's March 6 cover story know that one of the legal arguments made by Duke Energy is that it said the system qualifies as a utility itself under Ohio law. And one utility has no legal obligation to reimburse another utility, Duke added.
City officials disagree with Duke's interpretation, and the two sides currently are trying to negotiate a compromise to the impasse.
The city is willing to pay $6 million to relocate Duke's natural gas, chilled water, fiber and electrical infrastructure along the streetcar route, but the firm insists it will cost at least $18.7 million and possibly more.
A close reading of the Ohio Revised Code (ORC), however, reveals it is unlikely that a streetcar system qualifies as a "public utility."
Under Ohio law, the following items are defined as public utilities:
"A motor transportation company, when engaged in the
business of carrying and transporting persons or property or the business of
providing or furnishing such transportation service, for hire, in or by motor-propelled
vehicles of any kind, including trailers, for the public in general,
over any public street, road, or highway in this state." ORC §4905.03
But motor-propelled vehicles aren't defined under Ohio law. The ORC does, however, define "motor vehicle" as:
"(B) "Motor vehicle" means any vehicle, including mobile homes and recreational vehicles, that is propelled or drawn by power other
than muscular power or power collected from overhead electric trolley wires.
"Motor vehicle" does not include utility vehicles as defined in division (VV)
of this section, motorized bicycles, road rollers, traction engines, power
shovels, power cranes, and other equipment used in construction work and not
designed for or employed in general highway transportation, well-drilling
machinery, ditch-digging machinery, farm machinery, and trailers that are
designed and used exclusively to transport a boat between a place of storage
and a marina, or in and around a marina, when drawn or towed on a public road
or highway for a distance of no more than ten miles and at a speed of
twenty-five miles per hour or less." ORC
Streetcars operate using overhead trolley wires, thus they aren't considered
motor vehicles under Ohio law. But do they even qualify as vehicles? The ORC
defines vehicles as:
"(A) "Vehicles" means everything on wheels or runners, including motorized bicycles, but does not mean electric personal assistive mobility devices, vehicles that are operated exclusively on rails or tracks or from overhead electric trolley wires, and vehicles that belong to any police department, municipal fire department, or volunteer fire department, or that are used by such a department in the discharge of its functions." ORC §4501.01(A)
Of course, streetcars run on rails and use power from electric
trolley wires. So, they aren't vehicles either. The conclusion: Either "motor-propelled vehicles" mean the same as "motor
vehicles" (in which case it doesn't apply to streetcars) or "motor-propelled"
is an adjective to "vehicle" (which also doesn't apply, as streetcars aren't
vehicles). In each instance, a streetcar system doesn't fall into the legal realm of a "motor transportation company" and therefore isn't a "public utility."
The Anna Louise Inn today won another case in front of the Cincinnati Zoning Board of Appeals. The ruling upheld a Historic Conservation Board decision that gave Cincinnati Union Bethel, which owns the inn, a conditional use permit that will allow the social service agency to carry on with a planned $13 million renovation. Western & Southern in a statement given to reporters following the decision vowed to appeal the ruling.
At the hearing, Western & Southern attorney Francis Barrett, who is
the brother of Western & Southern CEO John Barrett, continued his
argument that the Anna Louise Inn is a "high-crime area." The accusation
is meant to disqualify the Inn for the conditional use permit, which
requires that the building's use will not be detrimental to public
health and safety or negatively affect property values in the
neighborhood. During an Aug. 27 hearing, the Historic Conservation Board found no direct evidence connecting residents of the Anna Louise Inn to
criminal activity in the neighborhood.
Barrett also emphasized Western & Southern's stance that continuing on the current path set by the Historic Conservation Board is a waste of taxpayer money because the Inn is receiving public funds. Barrett labeled the funds "excessive expenditures." However, that argument has little bearing on whether the Inn deserves a conditional use permit, because it's not relevant to zoning laws and rules.
Tim Burke, Cincinnati Union Bethel's attorney, began his defense of the Anna Louise Inn by calling the ongoing case one of the most "frustrating" of his career. He suggested Western & Southern is just continuing its attempts to delay the Inn's renovations as much as possible.
Regarding the charge that the Anna Louise Inn has adverse effects on public health and safety, Burke told the Zoning Board of Appeals that the only adverse effect is on Western & Southern because "they want the property and can't get it." He claimed there is no proof that the Anna Louise Inn perpetuates crime in the area, and testimony and evidence presented in the case has proven as much.
The case is only one of many in the ongoing conflict between Cincinnati Union Bethel and Western & Southern, which CityBeat previously covered in-depth ("Surrounded by Skyscrapers," issue of Aug. 15). Cincinnati Union Bethel wants to renovate the Anna Louise Inn in part with $10 million in tax credit financing from the Ohio Housing Finance Agency and a $2.6 million loan funded by U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development that was awarded by the city. Western & Southern says it wants to use the Lytle Park area, where the Inn is located, for private economic development.
The series of cases began when Judge Norbert Nadel ruled on May 27 that the Anna Louise Inn classifies as a "special assistance shelter," which requires a different kind of zoning permit than the previous classification of "transitional housing." That ruling was appealed by Cincinnati Union Bethel to the Ohio First District Court of Appeals, which held hearings on Oct. 30 and is expected to give a ruling soon.
