Pressure Locking of the Subgel Phase of Hydrated Dipalmitoyl Phosphatidylcholine Bilayers Biophysical Journal, Volume 49, Issue 6, 1 June 1986, Pages 1199-1203 E. Mushayakarara, P.T. T. Wong and H.H. Mantsch Abstract Raman spectra of aqueous dispersions of 1,2-dipalmitoyl-phosphatidylcholine (DPPC) have been measured as a function of pressure (up to 46 kbar) for samples incubated at 2°C and for nonincubated DPPC samples subjected to equally high pressure. The nature of the transition from the GII gel phase of the hydrated lipid into the subgel phase on incubation is entirely different from that of the transition from the GII gel phase into the GIII gel phase of the nonincubated lipid. The GIII gel phase has a monoclinic interchain packing, while the subgel phase exhibits a triclinic interchain structure. It is shown that pressure cannot induce the transition from the GII gel phase to the subgel phase; however, it does stabilize the subgel phase above the subtransition temperature. The mechanism for the formation of the subgel phase and the complex phase behavior of the gel phase of DPPC are rationalized in terms of the dynamic properties of the acyl chains of the lipid molecule.

Structures of the subgel phases of n-saturated diacyl phosphatidylcholine bilayers: FTIR spectroscopic studies of 13C = O and 2H labeled lipids Biophysical Journal, Volume 61, Issue 1, 1 January 1992, Pages 63-77 R.N. Lewis and R.N. McElhaney Abstract The subgel phases of unlabeled, specifically chain perdeuterated and specifically 13C = O labeled representative samples of the n-saturated diacylphosphatidylcholines were studied by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. Our results indicate that the spectroscopic properties exhibited by the subgel phases of the longer chain homologues are not consistent with that of a pure phase and we suggest that this is because the observed spectrum is a summation of spectroscopic features arising from both their subgel and L beta gel phases. Using spectral subtraction techniques, we obtained a spectrum which we believe is more representative of the pure subgel phase and from it we suggest that the subgel phase of the long chain phosphatidylcholines is an ordered crystallike structure containing two vibrationally inequivalent populations of lipid molecules arranged with the zigzag planes of their hydrocarbon chains parallel. For dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine, our data indicate that its stable subgel phase is generally similar to that of the longer chain homologues but it is a more ordered structure in which the polar/apolar interfacial region is probably less hydrated. With the medium chain (N = 13–15) compounds, two populations of vibrationally equivalent molecules are also present in the subgel phase, but unlike DPPC and the longer chain homologues, the zigzag planes of their sn1- and sn2- acyl chains are perpendicular to each other, and a sn1-ester C = O group of one of the populations is in relatively close contact with an sn2-ester C = O group of the other population. With the shorter chain (N = 10 - 12) compounds, our data is indicative of a very complex quasi-crystalline assembly in which there may be at least three vibrationally inequivalent populations of lipid molecules with rotationally disordered hydrocarbon chains. Moreover, the conformation of the glycerol backbone may well be very different from that usually expected of this class of phospholipids. With all of these lipids, the structural pictures which emerge from our studies of the various subgel phases are in many aspects incompatible with that deduced from the single crystal x-ray studies of dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine. We suggest that this is because under our experimental conditions, these lipids have effectively been crystallized from water, whereas the sample used for the single-crystal x-ray study was crystallized from organic solvents.

Scanning calorimetry reveals a new phase transition in L-alpha-dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine Biophysical Journal, Volume 52, Issue 4, 1 October 1987, Pages 667-670 J.L. Slater and C. Huang Abstract We report a new phase transition in fully hydrated dispersions of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC). This new transition, called the sub-subtransition, exhibits a transition enthalpy of 0.25 kcal/mol with a Tm at 6.8 degrees C. Unlike the subtransition, no extended low temperature incubation is required to observe the sub-subtransition. This new sub-subgel (SGII) phase may be a precursor to the subgel (SGI) phase, and this discovery is discussed in relation to the current knowledge regarding the polymorphic gel phases of both ester- and ether-linked lipids with identical acyl chains.

Structures of lamellar phases in aqueous dispersions of diisoacylphosphatidylcholines (17iPC and 20iPC) were determined by x-ray diffraction methods. In agreement with previous DSC studies, subgel, gel, and liquid crystal phases were observed in each homolog. The subgel Lc(c') phases of both homologs show significant two-dimensional long range order and can be described by rectangular lattices. The dimensions of the two rectangular unit cells differ in that the side chains are canted (approximately 33 degrees) in the 20iPC homolog, while in 17iPC the side chains are normal to the bilayer plane. The gel L beta phases of 17iPC (Tgg = 17–19.5 degrees C) and 20iPC (Tgg = 44 degrees C) are similar but not identical and are consistent with a distorted, pseudohexagonal lattice for the rotationally disordered side chains. The liquid crystal phases of 17iPC (Tgl = 28 degrees C) and 20iPC (Tgl = 52 degrees C) are structurally similar and are typical of lipids with fluid side chains. Significant but different changes occur in the long spacings at Tgg and Tgl for the two homologs. This implies that interfacial states (particularly in the subgel phases) differ in the two homologs below the liquid crystal phase transition temperature.

We experienced an online phenomenon called Gomerism in the early part of this decade. Our message boards became a hub for Third Days fans to connect with each other and one of their favorite bands, Third Day. Fans spent hours on the boards discussing everything from sports, the weather, politics, and even music on occasion.
Over the past few years, other social media has come along that has replaced message boards or forums in the way that fans connect with each other. There is just no denying how big Facebook has become in the way that people communicate with their friends.
Our hope is that this new community can be our next step to foster Third Day online community. We've made great efforts to incorporate more content into the new ThirdDay.com, especially focused around live show content. We hope that the new tools we've put into place here, with easy facebook integration, the ability to see where other Third Day fans are, etc. will bring you along for the next part of this journey.

After searching on line and telephone for best price on a full set of tyres. Entries came up trumps with price. Their web site was simple to use and the fact I did not have to go anywhere was just that little more satisfying. But the cherry on the cake for me was the friendly service from the gentleman that came out.

The b*****ds get only one crack at trying to put a cookie on my computer; when they try, IE pops up a notification. Unless it's a cookie I need, it gets permanently blocked and I don't get bothered by it anymore. Eventually, I get very few notifications unless I go to a fairly new site. IE does a good job of blocking all but supercookies. SAS catches one or two of them when I run my weekly scan. Even though SAS says they aren't dangerous, I dump them anyway. If the same site keeps putting supercookies on my computer, I just eschew it. IMDB is the worst site for that and if it's the only one that can give me info I need, I just run a quick one day scan in SAS to get rid of the inevitable supercookie after I'm through.
I just now went back to Photobucket, had no trouble getting on, and didn't get any cookie notices.

Sri Lanka tour of Bangladesh
Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka have rested Mahela Jayawardene and Rangana Herath from the three-ODI series against Bangladesh, which follows the two Twenty20 internationals later this month. They also left out batsmen Dimuth Karunaratne and Lahiru Thirimanne from the one-day squad that played Pakistan in the UAE, and brought in spinning allrounder Angelo Perera, who made 244 off 204 balls in his most recent first-class game.
Mahela had also missed the limited-overs games in the UAE in December last year because he was on paternal leave. Both Mahela and Herath will be available for the two Twenty internationals that precede the ODIs, though, subject to the state of Herath's injured knee, which has put him in severe doubt for the second Test. These Twenty20s are Sri Lanka's last official matches before the World Twenty20 March.
Angelo Perera was also included in the T20 squad, while the players to miss out from the group that travelled to UAE were Ramith Rambukwella, Thirimanne and Kithuruwan Vithanage.
Thisara Perera was named in both squads, after having his work ethic put under scrutiny by the national selectors. Perera was denied permission to play in the Big Bash League, and told instead to train with Sri Lanka's A team, but he pleased the selectors well enough to return to the national fray. Doubts over Lasith Malinga's fitness have also been quelled, after he returned from the BBL to Sri Lanka briefly, in order to address that issue.
Middle-order batsman Ashan Priyanjan retained his place in the ODI squad, after having impressed with a 74 on debut in Abu Dhabi, in December. He has been with the team in Bangladesh, after replacing Prasanna Jayawardene in the Test squad. Both he and Angelo Perera also bowl effective finger spin in domestic cricket.
ODI squad: Angelo Mathews (capt), Dinesh Chandimal (vc), Tillakaratne Dilshan, Kusal Perera, Kumar Sangakkara, Ashan Priyanjan, Kithuruwan Vithanage, Angelo Perera, Lasith Malinga, Thisara Perera, Nuwan Kulasekara, Suranga Lakmal, Sachithra Senanayake, Ajantha Mendis, Seekuge Prasanna.
T20 squad: Dinesh Chandimal (capt), Lasith Malinga (vc), Tillakaratne Dilshan, Kusal Perera, Kumar Sangakkara, Mahela Jayawardene, Angelo Mathews, Thisara Perera, Angelo Perera, Nuwan Kulasekara, Suranga Lakmal, Sachithra Senanayake, Ajantha Mendis, Rangana Herath, Seekuge Prasanna.

Without a number-one Billboard single to his name, Justin Bieber tops the true measure of today's music popularity — YouTube.The 18-year-old icon's YouTube channel has more than 1.4 million subscribers, 2.5 billion video views and the most-viewed video of all time, his first hit single "Baby." But Justin Bieber isn't the latest big thing. He's the same thing that ever was.Canada's hottest export is one of the United States' favorite spokespersons for the good old American Dream. It keeps Bieber in the spotlight and the Dream alive.Bieber's rise from obscurity to fame by way of YouTube has more than something to do with his sustained popularity. It's an "American Idol" rags to riches narrative where natural talent supposedly earns you your wealth and place in history. Our idols say a lot about our national imagination.Bieber embodied the purest of pure as a child singer, seeming not much older than a baby when singing about his own "Baby" in a prepubescent voice.The video features playful bowling alley rivalry between genders that only hints at the sexuality of his later releases, but stays true to his most consistent theme — love.His innocuous lyrics always have a monogamous and heterosexy overtone, declaring that he just needs somebody to love, he'll buy you anything and you'll always be his. He fit perfectly into the desexualized ideal of normative children, which still promises to one day provide capitalist romance and long-term commitment.As proved by the staggering amount of times the video has been rewatched, we love to pretend this fantasy is real, and dream about a relationship with Bieber. By replaying Justin Bieber videos, we recreate something that never was, will be or can be.This is online video fantasy, where his huge fan following connects with the superstar. There are countless tweens who monastically devote themselves to the fantasy of marrying Bieber, which resulted in the seriously amazing "Marry Justin Bieber" online game. His videos can be dangerous, too — as they revive the same fears about childhood sexuality everyone was talking about when Britney and Miley were still controversial.When Bieber overtly tackles sexuality or appears sexual himself, the reaction is less ecstatic and more anxious. The mainstream nods its head to cutesy depictions of romantic longing but expresses outrage at the explicit or implicit fulfillment of that longing. The sexy "Boyfriend" video teasers scared enough people that I wonder if the concept was switched out for the more vanilla and "real" version of the video.The trick for Bieber will be to transition from a puritan child singer to a convincingly sexual adult singer without shocking people out of their adoration. If he makes it through the awkward transition into adulthood, Bieber will join the likes of Michael Jackson and Justin Timberlake as child-to-adult superstars.From there, he can sing more of the fantasy life of pure love, sexual pleasure and wealth that enchants listeners. His moment of truth arrives later this month with the release of his third album, "Believe."Whatever propelled him into the American music mainstream, there's no denying the salience of his project. The teen sensation has nearly 23 million Twitter followers, and every tweet of his I've read is retweeted and/or favorited by more than 50 followers.Featured on the cover of Forbes, which named Bieber the third most powerful celebrity in the world, his sharp suit and hairdo can't quite overcome how baby-faced he still appears. This is an artist who sold out all his U.S. tour dates within an hour of going on sale. If you don't believe in the popular power of the American Dream, you can't deny how many Beliebers who do.Record label execs probably spend more time than we can imagine trying to figure out what will be well-received in dominant culture. They want to find the next big thing, and they want to be the ones selling it. Talent scouts and industry music producers comb the country for easily digestible and sellable faces and voices. Bieber is "it." Why?Is it the odd free concert that convinces his younger fans he doesn't care about money? Is it meeting and greeting Beliebers with neurological disorders? Is it his drug-free public record? The conventional beauty? The catchy melodies? Is it the voice?It's all of that, and his ability to make us belieb in the American Dream. We've watched stories and heard songs like Bieber's before, but he's making the same-old same-old look and sound sexier than ever.By Patrick Beane

Absolutely LOVE this Towel. Its super absorbent and drys very very quickly. I got an XL and it is the size of a beach towel. It's perfect for taking hiking or to the beach. I used to pack just regular towels and they always left my stuff smelling damp and gross, but this one drys so fast and I don't need to worry about that smell. It also doesn't hold smells, after a 4 day hiking trip it didn't smell almost at all! Also, it is SUPER compact compared to regular towels, and even some of the other microfiber towels I've used before. It's coming with me everywhere from now on!
The small is adequate enough for drying off most sizes of human beings, and packs incredibly small. Does not come with a stuff sack for it, but that is not really a necessity. Has a loop for hanging with wash instructions printed on the loop. Would definitely recommend for travelers, backpackers, and people who don't like big towels but like being dry.
I bought a medium and large for a cycling trip in Europe with my mom. We used them as picnic blankets, sit-upons so we wouldn't tear up our bike shorts, blankets on the train, and beach towels on the beaches of Croatia and Switzerland. The large was a better size for a beach towel- the medium is a tad too small for that (I am 5'6" and slim). They are very absorbent and fast-drying. I am a minimalist, so a regular towel was out of the question. These did the trick!
It's hard to screw up a towel, but this one's pretty great. The benefit over others, and consequently the reason I bought it is that there's no stuff sack, there's a loop with a button sewn into it that wraps it up pretty nicely. It's the little things like that that matter on the trail. I used it to wash me, dry dishes, wipe down condensation, etc., and it acquired no funky smell. Good towel, Sea to Summit makes great fabrics
Hey isn't that what a towel is supposed to do. These guys worked like a champ. Took them with us on a 3 day excursion to King's Peak, UT and was glad we had them. Used for just about everything, but really cam in handy to dry off when it was pouring. Quick drying when the rain let up.

Southwestern Pennsylvania Housing Market Shows Solid Growth in November
PITTSBURGH, Dec. 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The West Penn Multi-List, Inc. reports an increase in average home sale price and the number of homes placed under agreement in November 2012 versus November 2011.
In the 13-county region served by the West Penn Multi-List, Inc., the number of residential homes placed under agreement increased 9.11 percent (2,646 in November 2012 versus 2,425 in November 2011). Average home sale price increased 7.83 percent ($157,050 versus $145,641), while the number of homes listed for sale (new listings) decreased 1.12 percent (2,123 homes versus 2,147). The average number of days on market decreased from 94 days in November 2011 to 89 days in 2012.
"Buyers are taking advantage of more than appealing interest rates, and sellers are benefiting from the active market, smaller than normal inventory of homes for sale and increasing average sale prices," said Barbara Kohl, executive vice president of the West Penn Multi-List, Inc. "With fewer homes listed for sale, buyers are moving quickly to make offers on homes that are priced right."
For the first 11 months of 2012 versus the same period in 2011, the West Penn Multi-List, Inc. reports improvements in all major indicators. The number of homes placed under agreement increased 10.84 percent (34,621 homes versus 31,234); average home sale price increased 5.76 percent ($166,012 versus $156,971); and new listings increased 1.38 percent (34,821 homes versus 34,348). The average number of days on market decreased 7 percent (100 days in January-November 2011 to 93 days for the same period in 2012).
"It's a great time to buy or sell a home in Southwestern Pennsylvania," Kohl said. "Based on our area's positive momentum and the improvement of the housing market nationally, we anticipate the residential real estate market in our area to continue to grow in 2013."
These numbers represent the 13-county area serviced by the West Penn Multi-List, Inc., the definitive source for real estate information for its service area – Allegheny, Armstrong, Beaver, Butler, Washington, Westmoreland, Fayette, Greene, Clarion, Lawrence, Mercer, Somerset and Indiana Counties.

With All Hallow's Eve, or Halloween, just around the corner, area revelers are preparing their jack-o'-lanterns and costumes.
None best describes better the ghoulish delight in the macabre more than the real tales of ghosts, especially the ghosts who haunt the places we know and love.
Hence the 21-year-old tradition of the telling of ghost stories at the George M. Murrell Home in Park Hill, Friday and Saturday evenings.
According to Amanda Pritchett, historical interpreter, the spooky tales told those nights involved local legends of haunting spirits showing themselves, in one way or another, to the average human.
"We always tell stories related to the house," Pritchett said. "Many were passed down through the ages. Many were recorded in the Indian papers. A lot of them are old Indian Territory ghost stories."
Shirley Pettengill told stories that revolve around the Murrell relatives, or those who worked at Murrell's mercantile store.
"The Hunter's ghost story is popular and depicts spiritual happenings during one of George Murrell's fox hunts," said Pettengill. "This story is traced back to a great-nephew of John Ross."
According to Pettengill, one night, the dogs barked and ran – following something, presumably a raccoon – from dark to dawn. The dog owners could never catch up to the dogs, nor what they hunted. Until dawn, when they caught sight of the dogs, who had cornered a dwarf-like creature. As soon as the dogs surrounded it and began closing in, the creature disappeared.
Pettengill said another favorite spooky tale is the one about the electrician.
Years ago, an electrician was hired to do some work at the Murrell Home. While he was alone in one of the upstairs rooms, he felt a hand on his shoulder. When he turned to see who it was, no one was there, so the electrician ran out of the house and never returned. Someone else had to go back to gather his tools to get them back to him.
Once, during the annual storytelling event, one visitor told Pettengill she'd worked that summer at the plantation when the electrician experienced the "ghostly touch."
"She told me it really did happen," said Pettengill. "Stories involving shape-shifters are native to the area. The little people and shape-shifters are part of the Native American heritage. They aren't, necessarily, scary."
Doors open, but no one is there
Other stories connected to the plantation focus on witnesses seeing one bedroom door open on its own, and in the time it would take for someone to walk across the room, the other door would then open. But no one was there.
"Many people will tell us they smell bread baking or bacon frying in the kitchen," Pettengill said. "The orbs, little balls of light on the remote sensory 'infrared' system seen in the kitchen and parlor, have no explanation."
Pritchett tells visitors of her own personal stories about seeing orbs and black shadows visible on the security cameras.
"Once, watching the camera screen, I saw some little something on the kitchen mantel," said Pritchett. "Then suddenly, 'pfft,' it was off the screen. It disappeared."
Local historian Beth Herrington, seated in the candle-lit parlor, conveyed the haunting stories of the ghosts of Tahlequah.
"These stories are tragic tales that might inspire feelings of ghostly perceptions," Herrington said.
There's the tale of the death of a man in the summer of 1870. While loved ones were preparing for his burial, the woods filled with the screams and wails of a mountain lion, postponing the burial. Then there's the tale of the young gunfighter who accidentally shot and killed himself with his own weapon. He was the first person buried in the Tahlequah cemetery.
Part of the charm of the ghost stories is entering the Murrell Home after dark.
"People never get to come into the home after dark," Pritchett said. "It's a completely different atmosphere after dark."
Small groups enter the house every 15 minutes, rotating from room to room, hearing the different haunting tales. Then "everybody ends up in the cabin for cider and cookies," said Pritchett.

Tibbets: Art an important cultural element
The incomparable beauty of nature inspires Dennis Tibbits to paint.
"I believe my love of the Illinois River, especially the Barren Fork, has greatly influenced the type of material I prefer doing," said Tibbits.
His love of landscapes – "riverscapes," as he calls them – began about the same time he started floating the river in the 1970s as a student at Northeastern State University.
Tibbits, an instructor and clinical supervisor of Speech and Language Pathology at NSU, graduated from Stilwell High School in 1971. He earned a bachelor's degree from NSU in 1975 and a master's degree from the University of Arkansas in 1976, both in speech-language pathology. He came full-circle when he took a teaching job at NSU in 2007, after doing clinical speech pathology for more than 30 years.
In the early '70s, he did his first oil paintings and three of them hang in his house today. -
Senior Citizens dance makes mark in history
It was nearly 14 years ago when Charles Scott and Dorothy Crawford were sitting across the table from each other having lunch at the Tahlequah Senior Citizens Center, when Charles spoke up and said, "I think I'll go see the mayor and city council and get a senior citizens dance started."
Bright colors in for spring fashion
The occasional snowflake may still be floating down from the sky, but bright colors and textures are making local boutiques and stores look like spring has already arrived.
Bright colors, loose-weave accessories in scarves, jackets and vests and dresses are beginning to replace winter items in display windows and on the racks.
Neon and leopard prints are always on hand at Obsession Boutique, said owner Amanda Harris.
Floral and tribal prints, corals, melon and mint green and sequins for bling are beginning to brighten the store on cute sundresses, skinny jeans, leggings, and jeggings, said Harris. - Polar Plunge raises thousands for Special Olympics More than 110 participants from local schools and organizations took part in Saturday's Polar Plunge for the Special Olympics at Arrowhead Resort on the Illinois River. They raised a total of $15,400 for the athletes to buy uniforms and help with travel and lodging for the Oklahoma Special Olympics in May. Participating were groups from Cherokee Nation, Northeastern State University, Tahlequah Police Department, Tahlequah Public Schools, and others.

Tinsley's family an inspiration for teaching
Lessons from life on the farm are teaching tools for Greenwood's newest Teacher of the Year.
Second-grade teacher Kym Tinsley's family is important. In the summer, she works on Canyon Ridge Farm, owned by her parents.
"I use the experiences from the farm life in my classroom on a daily basis, through writing, reading, and math," she said.
She has a happy, colorful and friendly classroom. She recently greeted two children at the classroom door with a smile. As she interacted with them, asking questions about a story, they searched for clues and find answers.
Tinsley rewarded each girl with a compliment, based on their answers and asked more questions. The girls searched for answers once more.

Redskins-Cowboys PreviewNFL's greatest rivalry returns to prime timePosted: Monday September 19, 2005 11:43AM; Updated: Monday September 19, 2005 11:48AM
The Redskins haven't been in an exciting game since Joe Gibbs first retired, but ABC will air the NFL's greatest rivalry for the second straight year. There are many storylines, including the Gibbs-Bill Parcells rivalry; the question of which team will emerge as a bona fide threat to the Eagles in the NFC East; and the induction of Emmitt Smith, Michael Irvin and Troy Aikman into the Cowboys Ring of Honor. And give credit to Gibbs for trying to bring some bitterness back to this feud by calling Cowboys fans "ugliest people in the world." The Redskins Win If ...... defensive coordinator Gregg Williams figures out how to force Cowboys quarterback Drew Bledsoe into mistakes. Williams coached Bledsoe in Buffalo and presumably knows all the veteran quarterback's strengths -- and weaknesses. The Redskins have allowed 18 points or fewer in seven straight games, but just keeping Dallas off the board may not be enough. Washington needs to use its blitz-heavy scheme to create turnovers because its offense isn't going anywhere. Gibbs decided to replace quarterback Patrick Ramsey with Mark Brunell after the 'Skins beat the Bears 9-7 last week. Brunell was benched last season after amassing a 63.9 passer rating in nine starts. But the 35-year-old veteran outplayed Ramsey in the preseason and will likely make fewer mistakes. Running back Clinton Portis carried 21 times for 121 yards against Chicago and looked more like the back who ran so well in Denver. Washington is 6-0 when Portis eclipses 100 yards, so establishing the rushing game is a priority. The Cowboys Win If ....... they stop the Portis. Under Parcells, Dallas is 0-6 when an opposing back surpasses 100 yards. The Cowboys switched to a 3-4 defense this year and it paid immediate dividends last week when Dallas held San Diego to 291 total yards and RB LaDainian Tomlinson to just 72 yards rushing.
Bledsoe looked like the Bledsoe of old last week against San Diego, throwing three TDs and no INTs to give him a 143.4 passer rating. Bledsoe faces a tougher assignment this week, since he will have little time in the pocket with the 'Skins blitzing as often as possible. One way for Dallas to counter the pass rush would be a big day from running back Julius Jones. Jones was ineffective in his one game against Washington last season, rushing for 57 yards on 22 carries. The Cowboys need more from him tonight. Key StatThe Cowboys have won 14 of 15 games in this series. Redskins owner Daniel Snyder has beaten his mentor, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, just once in a dozen attempts. The OutcomeEven though Dallas has owned the series, Washington has kept the games close when they're in primetime. Give the Cowboys a big emotional edge tonight, since its their home opener and there will be all sorts of historical hoopla with the Ring of Honor ceremony. But don't expect Dallas to move the ball as well as it did last week. Even though the Cowboys know the blitz is coming, the 'Skins will still be able to get pressure on Bledsoe and create a defensive slugfest. Turnovers and special teams will make the difference in a Monday night clunker. Dallas 23, Washington 19 |

This chives picture shows a lovely lush green growth of the herb and will help you identify it. They are very useful, having a delicate onion flavor which doesn't overwhelm the taste of other foods. You use them by simply snipping the long leaves into pieces with scissors or chopping with a knife. |
This picture shows the chives with their purple ball shaped flowers - some people use them to decorate their food.
The picture also shows how decorative they are in the garden - a really lovely display in a seating area - imagine being sat in the garden surrounded by pots of herbs.
Mix them in with cream cheese to give a delicate onion flavour - use this to make a sandwich or celery boats where you cut 2 inch lenghts of celery and fill them with the cream cheese mixture - makes a good buffet finger food.
Snip a few over roasted vegetables for the last 5 or 10 minutes of cooking to add some extra flavour.
Chives are very easy to grow.
You can grow them from seed or beg a few bulbs from a fellow gardener whose clump has got overcrowded.
The chives in this picture (above) were a pot I bought and split into 2 - they've been growing about 3 years.
The chives picture below is garlic chives.
If your clump of chives has become weed infested, then you need to dig it up and tease the bulbs apart.
Do this gently, removing the weeds as you go.
You then replant the chives in clumps, firm down the soil with your foot and water well.
They are hardy perennials and will come up year after year.
Divide them when they get overcrowded - you can either replant them in your own garden or pot them up and either give them away or sell them.

The TV+ television recording feature is decent, although most people will have to connect it to their Freeview boxes via Scart or composite. This means you'll get a pretty ropey picture at times. We've included some screenshots with this review that show what the picture quality is like.
You'll probably notice that when you record from composite video, you get some picture jitter, colour bleeding and patterning. We tested the recorder with a Freeview box with component in, and got better results than from composite. We also like the ability to transfer files from the TV+ to your portable Archos PMP or a PC.
In terms of a media streamer, the Archos is less useful than most of the competition. For a start, codec support is lacking. While it does support DivX and XviD, if you have XviD files encoded with QPEL or ones that have a frame size larger than the Archos can handle, you'll get an error message. We ran into this a number of times with our test material.
We're also annoyed by the fact that the Archos supports MPEG-2 but that you have to buy an extra plug-in to activate it. This is diabolical, considering the competition to this product all provide that functionality, and generally for a much lower price too.
You'll also need plug-ins for Apple QuickTime, H.264 and AAC audio support, and if you want to watch YouTube or other Web video, you'll have to buy the Opera plug-in too. Indeed, at the launch of Archos TV the company told us that if you want all the plug-ins, you'll need to shell out a further £50 -- taking the cost of the 250GB machine up to around £300.
All this aside, we didn't find the use of Archos to be an entirely brilliant experience. Getting around the main menus was generally okay, but it isn't a patch on either Apple TV or the D-Link DSM-330. The setup procedure is satisfactory.
To answer to our own question, the Archos doesn't really live up to our expectations. Archos has clearly got a market in mind for this product, but we aren't entirely sure if that market exists. We think that the sort of person who wants a media streamer is likely to want one that outputs HD.
At the end of the day, we don't really think Archos TV+ offers anything that isn't done better elsewhere. If you want to buy or rent movies, Apple TV is a much better choice. If you want a DivX media streamer, go for one of the D-Link products.

Investors will bear the brunt of the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive because depositary liabilities may result in increased costs, according to Jean-Marc Goy from the Luxembourg regulator CSSF. Goy, counsel for international affairs at the Luxembourg financial regulator CSSF, explained that he feared that the advice from European Securities and Markets Authority regarding the strict liability of depositary might be counterproductive and that costs would just be passed onto investors. He told the Association of the Luxembourg Fund Industry's European alternative investment funds conference: "ESMA advice is setting up a system where the depository has a very strict liability through a very sensitive definition of financial assets that can be held in custody, loss of financial of financial assets and a restrictive definition of an external event. "We fear that this may leave us with a situation where costs [are] increased and passed onto investors. It may increase shadow...

I would welcome a zone, because you know we'll see it again at some point in the season. I'm sure Fred/Lutz have a plan for this.
Printable View
I wonder what kg_cyclone thinks about this game? I also wonder who he will be routing for?
Clones will outscore CU on in bound plays. You heard it here.
If Fred is smart, he should full court press them at some point. I don't remember the last time that didn't work against our former coach.
i'm certain they'll full court press the ball handler when Bubu is in the game. Hopefully we'll see Jake doin' some full court pressure on the ball handler as well.
As we've seen in past years, full-court press on the primary ball handler is a great way to disrupt McD teams. It limits the number of seconds you have to run plays, and forces the PG to relinquish control.
Greg's Gameplan?
Sucking the life out of his team, squashing their spirit and making them loathe the game they once loved, taking the court as lifeless facsimiles of once enthusiastic and passionate basketball players, regretting their college choice in every waking moment of their torturous existence.
Or maybe he'll do it differently at Creighton.
Be Slow. Burn clock. Be methodical. Fail on in-bounds. Stand. Fall out of bounds. Do not foul. Have one person dribble the half court. Call a timeout. Sub. Discuss. Reconcile. Sub. Dribble. Shoot a 40 ft three. Wave at a rebound.
Hustle back into a pack. Hands up. Look tense. Watch a three go in. Take a TO, baby.
Greg will yell "DG!" every time Diante puts up a shot hoping to get in his mind and remind him of the beat down control he had on him last year. At least until Diante winds up and throws the rock in his face.
An opinion of what I noticed, nothing more. (who's arguing?)
Last year, I generally noticed DG passing up his first wide open look and only taking the shot once the ball was swung back around and the D had sagged bag, knowing he wasn't a deep threat. Clearly not a first or second option, but third or even fourth with the clock winding down. Leading to my comment on wide open 3's. I don't recall very many shots with a defender guarding very closely. Obviously only great 3pt shooters hit 40-50%, but they would hit 50+% in sagged off defensive sets.
What I want to see, as Erik mentioned, is if his release is looking much smoother and if he isn't hesitating to shoot at first open look. I think some of his problem beyond the arc in his first 3 years has been the hesitation after a miss or two. (which may have been due to Gmac)
From what I've heard so far, he's less hesitant and has a more reliable supporting cast on the perimeter. If he can stick at last year's 3pt % or even improve, good things will happen for this team. That is my point.

Rebecca "Becca" Moody is the gothic teenage daughter of Hank Moody and Karen van der Beek. She is very intelligent and musically inclined for her age, as well as precocious.
As she is in her early teens, and the product of a non-traditional family life, Becca is very emotional and at times clinically depressed. She displays a very melancholic and somber attitiude, although this can be attributed somewhat to normal teenage angst/rebellion.
She is in a band, and is savvy enough to call out her father for his indiscretions. Becca generally acts as Hank's conscience throughout the run of the show, and she is arguably the most affected by his reckless behavior. On the whole, her character adds a little dark, heart-breaking side to the seemingly all-fun fuck-around of the adults and gives the show much greater depth.

2nd degree AC sprain = shoulder separation
2-4 sounds optimistic, although they do have magical plasma whosiwhatsits that they used on Gaborik's shoulder, so who knows
@Cyruss , I don't know anything about the stuff on Twitter, but when they first replayed the hit on Fedotenko, I immediately said separated shoulder. Just had one myself, so I know what it looks like. Wouldn't be suprised in the least if that's what he has and is out 4-6 weeks.
Heard abit on twitter that Feds had a seperated shoulder and Eminger a broken wrist. I hope these are jsut rumors :/
Hope Feds is alright. Looked like a shoulder injury though.
Bush league by the Makebeliefs. Colton Orr on the ice with a couple minutes to go...what does that accomplish? Nothing.
It looked like there was only one team out there at certain points. Man Toronto is awful.
Good to see Gaborik get that monkey off his back. This is when the Rangers needed him the most and he showed up in a big way!!!
nice conversation by the NHL Network announcers in the third period about all the young talent on the Rangers and all the young talent in the minors, said the Rangers did it wrong for a long time and now are doing it right
And why did Newbury get a 10 min misconduct there after delivering a clean hit and then defending himself?
Dubs is out, another injury, so what !!! Nothing fazes these guys, 4-0 already!
God,I love this years team!
@Cyruss Haven't seen anything yet but that would be unreal. Live chat in 5 minutes.
@Cyruss unreal if true! woulda liked to see the Rangers rough up a Leaf or two after that slash.
If Boogeyman will be out indefinitely, Rangers need another good fighter to spell Prust.

What little things make your life easier?

I love being a parent but my life has become much more stressful and extremely busy. I was doing good and used to just go with the flow but now its starting to get to me.
I have SO much to do and the unknown about what this year will bring makes me nervous. I have one child who is acting out because he needs more attention (I wish it was easy because he is a wonderful boy), I have a child who isn't acting out but I miss the time we use to spend together. She's a great helper and helps if she sees we need a hand. I have a baby who is just so damn cute! Like all babies he requires a fair bit of attention. I have an autistic toddler and this makes the simple tasks such as shopping or bath time difficult. This is the most challenging time so far for me as a parent. My house isn't organized, my beautiful toddler has to pull and throw EVERYTHING onto the floor and we have given up trying to clean it up. The washing is never ending! My house isn't organized and we need to do a massive clean out. I don't have the energy to constantly tidy and clean this house. Thank god all kids sleep 8-9 hours because some days just getting through the day can feel like a marathon. We are getting a cleaner! This is going to be a massive help and I'm sooo excited. What things make your busy life just that bit easier? #2Posted 03 February 2013 - 12:41 AM

My roomba.
It has made so much difference to the amount of time I spend cleaning. A quick 5 minute mop around the kitchen and dining table every night after roomba has done his thing. The floors are clean all day every day not just a couple of times a week. Love him! #4Posted 03 February 2013 - 06:39 AM
A decent veggie peeler and can opener!
Oh, and my cleaner....bless her! Most importantly, my respite carer...I wish I could marry her! #5Posted 03 February 2013 - 07:03 AM
Honestly... I have lowered my cleaning standards.

Getting up an hour before the kids where possible to get organised.
Cooking on the weekend and freezing for weekdays. Bathing all the kids at one time. Supervising meal times to maintain the mess rather than eating with the kids. Make a rule that you can't play with a new toy/game until you pack away the previous one. #8Posted 03 February 2013 - 07:39 AM
-big plastic bins from big w with labels on it to chuck toys in in at the end of the day. Declutter toys every couple of months and rotate toys.
-spending an hour in the evening getting everything laid out for the next day, clothes for each child, bags packed with snacks and water bottle at front door with my bag AND keys. -Cook in bulk and freeze in smaller portions for later meals. -Eat outside and in minimal clothing in warm weather. I think I feed my two in the nude for about a year...saves heaps of washing and getting food stains out!! -quick whip around in the evening doing dishes and wiping benches down. -washing is a hard one and my downfall, I try to fold in the evening and I try not to wash too much...sometimes I throw clean clothes in just to get rid of clutter. -cleaner is good but not much use if they are trying to clean around mess. For me a cleaner makes me pack away the night before she comes which is good as she makes me regroup in the house. I cant tell you the pleasure of walking into a tidy house after the cleaner has been there...even if it last for about an hour!!! CB #9Posted 03 February 2013 - 07:48 AM
Dishwasher - always empty first thing in the morning (DS's job), so dirty dishes go in there to put dishes out of sight, until it goes on at night
Tidy bench every night. Nothing like starting the day clear #10Posted 03 February 2013 - 07:53 AM
My el cheapo robot floor cleaner and the storage cube system from Bunnings ... I'm tempted to get another storage cube system to throw DS clothes in and elimate folding
#11Posted 03 February 2013 - 08:31 AM
I have a daily routine that consists of:
morning: empty dishwasher open all curtains and windows, make the beds quick tidy hang washing prep for dinner evening: put on a load of washing on delayed start clean kitchen get out clothes for the next day, do lunchboxes and school bags I do one BIG shop every 6-8 weeks where I buy all staples then shop once a week for fresh milk, fruit and veg. I shop in the evenings so that I can go alone. I have a meal plan, often cook in bulk and freeze for later. When I am exhausted and want to get take away I get out a bag of cooked rice and a bag of curry from the freezer and nuke it. Cheaper and better for us! It's hard to find the time, but I also do a big clean out at the start of every school term. I throw out/recycle/give away clothes that are old or don't fit, toys that are broken or not played with etc etc. Each time I do it I get more and more ruthless as I have realised that the less there is in my house the less there is to clean up or for the kids to make a mess with! I got a heap of plastic buckets and large zip locks back and put all the toys in there. Then I rotate the buckets so there is a limited amount of toys out at any one time. The kids play better and there is less mess to deal with. I'm not a huge fan, but what has been a huge help for us is having a routine. DD has a chart that shows her what we are doing each day and we follow the chart. We used to use pictograms but it's easier now she can read! I also used child care 3 hours a week to give me some alone time where I could be in the house in the peace and quiet. I joined a gym and go in the evenings. Having some time for myself has made it easier to cope with everything else. Seeing DDs psychologist has also been awesome in all kinds of ways. I needed help! she's made life easier for us in ways that nothing else could. Good luck! #12Posted 03 February 2013 - 08:38 AM
A cleaner.
Setting aside a day dedicated to the house. On Monday I wash, the cleaner comes, I shop and sometimes I collapse in a heap at 8pm after having only just got the clothes put away. But it is done and I might do one or 2 catch up loads on Thursday. My DD has just started kindy on Mondays so it will be even easier now. I just hate feeling like everyday is groundhog day with housework so by working my backside off on a Monday I can enjoy Tuesday and Wednesday with my kids. I do no housework on these days except to tidy toys and maybe sweep the kitchen flr. I cook dinner at lunchtime when bubs is asleep is DD is watching TV. #13Posted 03 February 2013 - 08:47 AM
i love "lowering my cleaning standards" lol
I must be the only one who doesnt like her Roomba - maybe i should take it & give it a go again. Another to say Dishwasher - emptied in the mornings & loaded properly throughout the day. Dryer - during wet & colder days. Hanging my large items on the stair case rail & over the doors. a 5 minute tidy after each meal - meal planner - im hoping to restart it once i get back into a routine. spraying Mr Muscle & soaking overnight in the oven , pans, stove or anything that has stains that I can remove . Soaking the kettle just before bed on Friday nights with water & lemon so all these utensils are ready to be washed without the effort. The kids! - they all have to help somehow or another - especially with the shoes, their rooms & tidying the yard. #14Posted 03 February 2013 - 08:48 AM

Ordering staple groceries online every couple of weeks, getting meat delivered from an online butcher in bulk. Using my local market for F&V, bread and milk.
Making my children empty the dishwasher. Paying someone to clean my oven. #16Posted 03 February 2013 - 09:08 AM

My Laptop,
Its my contact with the outside world when i get a break for 5 mins. I'd be lost without it. I do spend too much time on it, but im always researching useful things, rarely shopping. I used to do a coles online shop once a week and loved the convienience, but now we moved to the country, delivery is not available here, which it should be! Its MORE important in the country I say! #18Posted 03 February 2013 - 09:55 AM
My tip is to really think about how your family functions and to develop systems to suit. Every family is different so they need different solutions.
For us, the dishwasher is set on a delay start to go after I leave for school drop off. That way I can squeeze in the breakfast dishes and unload it mid morning when all is calm and quiet around the house. Early morning is not a good time for us to do an extra job. Washing clothes daily. I like to have our weekends free for spontaneous jaunts. Even if I don't fold and put the washing away, at least the clothes are clean. I also hang shirts directly onto hangers so they dry with minimal creasing which also makes ironing easier if it requires it. Socks get hang up in pairs on those little sock hanger thingies so they are less likely to get lost. It also means if I don't get around to putting them away, it is still easy to find a pair. I try to do a quick tidy up each night so I get to start each day fresh. I find it depressing to wake up to a mess. I will make components of lunch boxes the night before. Then all I need to do in the morning is to stuff them into the lunch box. Set up systems in your house to minimize the workload for you. I tried to get everyone (including DH) to put shoes and hats in the bedrooms for ages. I eventually gave up and set up a shelf with individual baskets for each person at the top of our stairs (main entry point to the house from garage). It's now easier to keep shoes and paraphernalia tidy even though it is in the same spot. There are no dirty laundry baskets in the kids' rooms. They mostly take off clothes in the bathroom so if they do change in their bedroom, they are told to take it straight to the laundry. In the laundry, I have baskets labelled so everyone can sort laundry as they dump which minimizes work for me. In the kids' wardrobes, I have a daily 'slot' for uniforms and extra curricular uniforms. I try to have uniforms ironed and sorted at the start of each week, so every morning, they can just get everything they need from that slot without having to think or rummage around for bits and pieces. I scoffed at this idea when I first read about it on EB years ago, but with school aged kids it really has helped. In the bathroom, I have towels colour coded. Each child has their own colour so I can easily tell who didn't hang up their towel and there's no fighting over not having a towel or 'X is using my towel' fights. It meant buying more towels as each child was born (they have 3 each on rotation), but has been a sanity saver. I also have colour coded melamine cups set up on the vanity with their toothbrushes and toothpaste. It sits in a little tray so looks neat and tidy. Again, it minimizes fights and makes it very easy for the children to use themselves. I try to get the kids involved in cooking. I set them up with a chopping board and appropriate knife and allow them to help prep. It means an extra handful of veg needs to be purchased but it's a small cost for the sanity saving. Usually the kids will eat the veg as they are chopping which is a bonus. We have chooks so I don't feel any guilt about wastage. And it keeps my toddler from pulling everything out of the cupboards. We also have a great cleaner. I went through quite a few to find the right one for our family. She's a mother of similar aged children and uses her common sense. I've mostly got her doing the chores I hate or just don't get around to in my daily clean. With young kids, I end up vacuuming and mopping most days anyway. The washing is never ending and so are the constant dishes. So I don't waste the cleaner's time doing those jobs I'd do anyway. I get her to do things like cleaning windows, shutters, skirting boards, walls, deep vacuuming of carpets and under beds, bathrooms etc. She also does a tidy up of toys that have been spread around the house. There are days when she sees me overwhelmed with Mt Foldmore that she will help with that. Or when we are on holidays, she will clean the fridge etc. She's just great. QUOTE I must be the only one who doesnt like her Roomba - maybe i should take it & give it a go again. I love my Roomba but currently am not using it much. It works best in houses with minimal clutter and open spaces. Right now, with so much of our toddler's toys spread around, Roomba would have a conniption trying to clean. It worked great before we had #3, and I would set it to run in the morning when I did the school drop off. The floors would be clear from the night before and there would be limited play in the morning because the kids were getting ready. I would then run Scooba in the afternoons before I left for school pick up. My toddler is so energetic that if I tried clearing toys to run Roomba, he would be pulling stuff out elsewhere causing more havoc. Just not worth the stress right now, but I will get Roomba working again in the future. #19Posted 03 February 2013 - 10:02 AM
Disposable nappies and wipes. I usually use cloth but every now and then give myself a break with sposies.
having the house decluttered and very minimal, I cannot stand moving stuff from one spot to another and double handling everything, I just get rid of it. So much less to deal with. The playground, it's my escape/sanity place when things get crazy at home. #20Posted 03 February 2013 - 10:03 AM
Great lists!
I'm with JRA - I would be seriously lost without my dishwasher. #21Posted 03 February 2013 - 10:43 AM
Dishwasher, seriously can't imagine not having one now.
Barstools, we all eat at the bench now, so no clearing and wiping down dining table. Roomba, mines half dead but it was a godsend when it worked properly. #22Posted 03 February 2013 - 10:48 AM
Meal planning and a weekly 'big shop'. Nothing irritates me more than 5pm food indecision and not having 1 or 2 ingredients.
Having some sliced cake/ pikelets/ muffins in the freezer to pop in a lunch box. I am about to bite the bullet and have a fortnightly cleaner come in - I don't know what difference it will make, but I'm willing to try!? #23Posted 03 February 2013 - 10:54 AM
Duct tape.

It doesn't work for everyone, and I think, OP, it wouldn't be your thing...
Every six months I have a huge clean out of the house. That is I go through everything and purge whatever we don't need. Yes, I have been known to just get a skip and CHUCK stuff. I don't keep every painting or creation from the kids. I get bills emailed to me rather sent as paper wherever I can - paper is the absolute BANE of my existence! Then I have routines (which change whenever they stop working), mostly to prepare stuff for times when I'm just too tired to care. So, I shop fortnight and have a list of meals, but don't schedule them for particular days, and they always include a few really quick to make options. I make the kids get into pjs and have showers at 5pm, so that by bed time - when I'm shattered, it's a matter for sending them off. I also get the table set when they get home from school so that it doesn't have to be done with arguments right before dinner time. With lots of kids, it's pretty much impossible to avoid mess - especially with toddlers/preschoolers. So, I aim for a tidy each evening before bed. I have been known to have several toddler gates to minimise the areas the toddler can get to and destroy... 1 user(s) are reading this topic0 members, 1 guests, 0 anonymous users |

Nadal, from Spain, had shared the record of 6 French titles with Sweden's Bjorn Borg. He's now won 11 Grand Slam titles (the French, U.S., Australian and British opens).
Djokovic, a Serbian, had been trying to win his fourth straight major title.

Dad thought she was with mum. Mum thought she was with dad. But 8-year-old Nancy wasn't with either of them.
Instead, she was left behind at a pub in Buckinghamshire, England. It was about 15 minutes before the mistake was realized and the little girl was reunited with her parents.
Oh, yeah, about her parents: They are British Prime Minister David Cameron and his wife Samantha.

Commerce Secretary John Bryson suffered an apparent "seizure" before a series of car crashes on Saturday in Los Angeles, a department spokesman says, according to an Associated Press "alert" issued just after 9:30 a.m. ET today.

Steve and his team are traveling some 2,000 miles from Tunisia's ancient city of Carthage, across the deserts of Libya and on to Egypt's megacity of Cairo.

An Israeli court last week upheld a government plan to deport all South Sudanese residents now living in the country, a move that comes amid a wider government crackdown on the 60,000 African nationals who've entered Israel illegally over the past few years.
Human rights groups have objected to Israel's handling of the Africans, saying the government does not do enough to differentiate between economic migrants and genuine asylum-seekers.
There's a slow-motion bank run happening in Europe, as depositors move their money from financially troubled countries like Greece and Spain to stronger countries like Germany.

Here's a movie scene burned into my brain: Harrison Ford, playing Indiana Jones, is on a chase through the streets of Cairo. It's in the original movie Raiders of the Lost Ark, which I saw as a kid. Today I couldn't tell you who was chasing whom or why, but I remember the climax. Jones is pushing through a mass of people when the crowd abruptly parts. He's confronted by a swordsman, who flips his giant scimitar around both artfully and menacingly.
