Nanopore Unzipping of Individual DNA Hairpin Molecules Biophysical Journal, Volume 87, Issue 5, 1 November 2004, Pages 3205-3212 Jérôme Mathé, Hasina Visram, Virgile Viasnoff, Yitzhak Rabin and Amit Meller Abstract We have used the nanometer scale α-Hemolysin pore to study the unzipping kinetics of individual DNA hairpins under constant force or constant loading rate. Using a dynamic voltage control method, the entry rate of polynucleotides into the pore and the voltage pattern applied to induce hairpin unzipping are independently set. Thus, hundreds of unzipping events can be tested in a short period of time (few minutes), independently of the unzipping voltage amplitude. Because our method does not entail the physical coupling of the molecules under test to a force transducer, very high throughput can be achieved. We used our method to study DNA unzipping kinetics at small forces, which have not been accessed before. We find that in this regime the static unzipping times decrease exponentially with voltage with a characteristic slope that is independent of the duplex region sequence, and that the intercept depends strongly on the duplex region energy. We also present the first nanopore dynamic force measurements (time varying force). Our results are in agreement with the ∼log(V˙) dependence at high V˙(where V˙ is the loading rate) observed by other methods. The extension of these measurements to lower loading rates reveals a much weaker dependence on V˙. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (175 kb) |
Pause Point Spectra in DNA Constant-Force Unzipping Biophysical Journal, Volume 88, Issue 4, 1 April 2005, Pages 2752-2765 J.D. Weeks, J.B. Lucks, Y. Kafri, C. Danilowicz, D.R. Nelson and M. Prentiss Abstract Under constant applied force, the separation of double-stranded DNA into two single strands is known to proceed through a series of pauses and jumps. Given experimental traces of constant-force unzipping, we present a method whereby the locations of pause points can be extracted in the form of a pause point spectrum. A simple theoretical model of DNA constant-force unzipping is presented, which generates theoretical pause point spectra through Monte Carlo simulation of the unzipping process. The locations of peaks in the experimental and theoretical pause point spectra are found to be nearly coincident below 6000 basepairs for unzipping the bacteriophage λ-genome. The model only requires the sequence, temperature, and a set of empirical basepair binding and stacking energy parameters, and the good agreement with experiment suggests that pause point locations are primarily determined by the DNA sequence. The model is also used to predict pause point spectra for the bacteriophage ϕX174 genome. The algorithm for extracting the pause point spectrum might also be useful for studying related systems which exhibit pausing behavior such as molecular motors. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (369 kb) |
Theoretical Study of Sequence-Dependent Nanopore Unzipping of DNA Biophysical Journal, Volume 94, Issue 7, 1 April 2008, Pages 2716-2724 U. Bockelmann and V. Viasnoff Abstract We theoretically investigate the unzipping of DNA electrically driven through a nanometer-size pore. Taking the DNA base sequence explicitly into account, the unpairing and translocation process is described by a biased random walk in a one-dimensional energy landscape determined by the sequential basepair opening. Distributions of translocation times are numerically calculated as a function of applied voltage and temperature. We show that varying these two parameters changes the dynamics from a predominantly diffusive behavior to a dynamics governed by jumps over local energy barriers. The work suggests experimentally studying sequence effects, by comparing the average value and standard deviation of the statistical distribution of translocation times.

The coupling between the depolymerization of microtubules (MTs) and the motion of the Dam1 ring complex is now thought to play an important role in the generation of forces during mitosis. Our current understanding of this motion is based on a number of detailed computational models. Although these models realize possible mechanisms for force transduction, they can be extended by variation of any of a large number of poorly measured parameters and there is no clear strategy for determining how they might be distinguished experimentally. Here we seek to identify and analyze two distinct mechanisms present in the computational models. In the first, the splayed protofilaments at the end of the depolymerizing MT physically prevent the Dam1 ring from falling off the end, and in the other, an attractive binding secures the ring to the microtubule. Based on this analysis, we discuss how to distinguish between competing models that seek to explain how the Dam1 ring stays on the MT. We propose novel experimental approaches that could resolve these models for the first time, either by changing the diffusion constant of the Dam1 ring (e.g., by tethering a long polymer to it) or by using a time-varying load.

NEW YORK NURSE: November/December 2011
by Alison Munday
NYSNA member Desiree Farquhar from the Moses CSICU of Montefiore Medical Center was recently awarded the annual Critical Care Nurse of The Year Award, as well as an educational grant. Each year, one ICU nurse is selected by his or her peers and physician partners as the team member who best represents the necessary dedication, kindness and willingness to work with the staff and the families during the most difficult period of their lives - an ICU admission. "We appreciate the tremendous quality and patience of our ICU nurses who are the heart-and-soul of Critical Care," said Vladimir Kvetan, MD, Director, Director, Division of Critical Care Medicine. Farquhar recently celebrated twenty years of employment with Montefiore Medical Center.
Four notable veteran nurses from New York State were among those honored at the American Academy of Nursing's 38th Annual Fellows Induction Ceremony in Washington, D.C. in October. The Academy's new Fellows from New York are: Susan Apold, a professor and founding dean of the Division of Nursing and Health Studies at Concordia College New York; Margaret-Ann Carno, an assistant professor of nursing and pediatrics at the University of Rochester, School of Nursing; Kathleen T. Hickey, an assistant professor of nursing and a family/adult nurse practitioner in the Division of Cardiology at Columbia University and a Robert Wood Johnson Nurse Faculty Scholar; and Nancy VanDevanter, associate professor at New York University College of Nursing.
Apold was commended for her significant contributions to the profession as an organizational strategist and professional activist and her leadership of the Nurse Practitioner Association of New York State and The American College of Nurse Practitioners — serving both for two terms as president —resulting in changes in policy, legislation and regulation at state and national levels. Described as an eloquent spokesperson for the profession, Apold is an expert on state regulation of nursing practice, nurse practice acts, healthcare reimbursement models, and nurse practitioner practice issues. She continues to strive for NP independence amidst healthcare reform efforts, and to influence federal legislation and regulations on the development of healthcare delivery models and expansion of primary care using NPs.
Carno was recognized for a quarter century of work dedicated to improving outcomes for children who suffer from sleep disorders in critical care and outpatient settings. Her research was the first to categorize changes in sleep patterns of children during therapeutic paralysis and drew attention to the problem of disrupted sleep in critically ill children. With a focus on pediatric sleep disorders in other settings and the impact on growth and development, she became one of approximately 15 nurses worldwide to be certified by the American Board of Sleep Medicine. Consistently serving nursing through leadership of professional organizations, Carno has held leadership positions within the American Thoracic Society, New York State Nurses Association and the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. She maintains her clinical practice as a PNP in the Division of Pediatric Sleep Medicine Services, Golisano Children's Hospital at Strong in Rochester, NY.
Described as "…a truly exemplar nurse scientist and nurse leader who shapes and improves the lives of cardiovascular patients and their families," Kathleen Hickey has received funding from the National Institute of Health (NIH), The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, and Columbia University to support her research endeavors. For more than twenty years, she has collaborated with interdisciplinary teams as a nurse scientist on landmark NIH clinical trials contributing to significant educational advances in the fields of arrhythmia, heart failure and cardiovascular research. She was praised for consistent advocacy for nursing's critical role in the rapidly evolving field of genomics while raising public awareness of potentially life threatening cardiac conditions. A member of a small cadre of cardiogenetic nurse practitioners in the U.S. who focus on improving the lives of families with inherited cardiac conditions, Hickey is actively involved in the American Heart Association Council for Cardiovascular Nursing and the International Society of Nursing Genetics (ISONG), and her efforts have been recognized at national and international levels. In October 2011, Dr. Hickey assumed the position of President-elect on the ISONG Board of Directors.
VanDevanter is currently in collaboration with nursing and dental colleagues at NYU to develop and implement a model for saliva-based HIV screening in dental clinics. She has conducted numerous CDC and NIH-funded behavioral intervention research studies integrating a community based participatory research approach to develop and test theory-driven interventions to promote health and reduce disease in communities with health disparities. Her interventions have focused on individuals living with HIV, including HIV infected blood donors and adolescents with behaviorally acquired HIV, interventions to increase self-protective sexual health behaviors in adolescents and women at risk for HIV. She is a member of the NYU-HHC CTSI Community Engagement Population Health Research Core, Evaluation Director for the Center of Excellence in the Elimination of Hepatitis B Health Disparities and Evaluation Co-Director for the NYU Prevention Research Center.

Latest releases:
Limericks, lies and puppy-dog eyesJude Biggerstaff is all the way out and loving it—mostly. The Anglo-Japanese university graduate is a carnivore working in a vegan café, an amateur poet with only one man in his life. His dog, Bubbles.
Then there's "Karate Crumpet," a man who regularly runs past the café with a martial arts class. Jude can only yearn from afar, until the object of his affection rescues him from muggers. And he learns that not only does this calm, competent hunk of muscle have a name—David—but that he's gay.
Jude should have known the universe wouldn't simply let love fall into place. First, David has only one foot out of the closet. Then there's Jude's mother, who lies about her age to the point Jude could be mistaken for jailbait.
With a maze of stories to keep straight, a potential stepfather in the picture, ex-boyfriends who keep spoiling his dates with David, and a friend with a dangerous secret, Jude is beginning to wonder if his and David's lives will ever start to rhyme.
Some sins are worth the price
Sexy male succubus Rael has an insatiable appetite for men that gets him into all kinds of trouble. And he's just found his favorite flavor: hunky blond detective Lars Thornsson. When those cool Nordic looks combine with Rael's smoldering dark charms, all Hell could break loose.
Lars's job at the Paranormal Enforcement Agency means he's supposed to be policing demons, not falling in lust—or love—with them. But there's something about this feisty little sex demon that hits all his buttons.
With no shortage of deadly sinners in his city, from serial-killing succubi to drug-dealing demons, all Lars can do is try to keep his private life from interfering with his work. But Rael has a knack for getting mixed up in cases that threaten both their domestic harmony and their lives.
Some secrets are better left hiddenTo most of the world, Tom Paretski is just a plumber with a cheeky attitude and a dodgy hip, souvenir of a schoolboy accident. The local police keep his number on file for a different reason—his sixth sense for finding hidden things.
When he's called in to help locate the body of a missing woman up on Nomansland Common, he unexpectedly encounters someone who resurrects a host of complicated emotions. Phil Morrison, Tom's old school crush, now a private investigator working the same case. And the former bully partly responsible for Tom's injury.
The shocks keep coming. Phil is now openly gay, and shows unmistakable signs of interest. Tom's attraction to the big, blond investigator hasn't changed—in fact, he's even more desirable all grown up. But is Phil's interest genuine, or does he only want to use Tom's talent?
As the pile of complicated evidence surrounding the woman's murder grows higher, so does the heat between Tom and Phil. But opening himself to this degree exposes Tom's heart in a way he's not sure he's ready for…while the murderer's trigger finger is getting increasingly twitchy.
Finding love can be a bumpy rideHis job: downsized out of existence. His marriage: dead in the water. It doesn't take a lot of arm twisting for Tim Knight to agree to get out of London and take over his injured brother's mountain bike shop for a while. A few weeks in Southampton is a welcome break from the wreck his life has become, even though he feels like a fish out of water in this brave new world of outdoor sports and unfamiliar technical jargon.
The young man who falls—literally—through the door of the shop brings everything into sharp, unexpected focus. Tim barely accepts he's even in the closet until his attraction to Matt Berridge pulls him close enough to touch the doorknob.
There's only one problem with the loveable klutz: his bullying boyfriend. Tim is convinced Steve is the cause of the bruises that Matt blows off as part of his risky sport. But rising to the defense of the man he's beginning to love, means coming to terms with who he is—in public—in a battle not even his black belt prepared him to fight. Until now.
Warning: Contains an out-and-proud klutz, a closeted, karate-loving accountant—and a cat who thinks it's all about him. Watch for a cameo appearance from the Pricks and Pragmatism lovers. May inspire yearnings for fresh air, exercise, and a fit, tanned bike mechanic of your very own.

The hookup from hell…or the ride of his life?
Leon's drifter lifestyle gives him the freedom to attend as many music festivals as his heart desires. Even the ones that leave him covered in feathers. Wet feathers, thanks to the rain as he hitchhikes back to his hostel. When he's offered a ride by a good-looking man in a Porsche, Leon thinks it's his lucky night. Until he discovers his savior from the storm hides a dark secret: he's a werewolf.
At first glance, Christoph thinks the shaggy stranger walking Berlin's streets is a rogue werewolf. By the time he realizes his mistake, it's too late for both of them. Forced to turn Leon into a monster to save his life, Christoph still has to suffer his pack leader's brutal punishment for endangering them all.
Leon awakens, horrified by what he's become—but it's his lover's fate that spurs him to action. Freeing Christoph is easy, but the aftermath complicates everything as they go on the run, desperate to uncover the secrets their pack leader is hiding. Secrets the pack will kill to protect…

Honor Synchronized Swimmer
FOR THE RECORD: 1992 OLYMPIC GAMES: gold (solo); 1996 OLYMPIC GAMES:
silver (team); 1986 WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS: gold (team); 1991 WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS:
gold (solo, figures); 1986, 1990 COMMONWEALTH GAMES: gold (solo, figures); 1987
PAN AMERICAN GAMES: silver (solo); 10 CANADIAN NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS: gold
(figures, solo, duet, team). At her hometown-team, the Aquatic Club of Montreal (CAMO), Sylvie was destined as a youngster to become Canada's next Olympic gold medallist. Under the guidance of her coach, Julie Sauve, Sylvie first competed at the Canadian Junior National Championships in 1979, finishing 19th in duet. Only two years later she was winning gold in solo and duet. By 1983, she was traveling with the Canadian National Team and over the next three years won gold medals in international invitational competitions in Mallorca, Berne, Tokyo, Australia, France and Indianapolis. In 1986 at the Edinburgh Commonwealth Games, Sylvie won the solo gold medal and was a member of the gold medal winning team at the Madrid World Championships the same year. Over the next three years, Sylvie continued to win more international invitationals. Then, at the 1990 Auckland Commonwealth Games in New Zealand, Sylvie became the first synchronized swimmer to score perfect 10s from all judges in the solo event. The next year at the World Championships in Perth, she earned the highest combined total marks (201.013) received by a synchronized swimmer in the solo event in World Championship and Olympic competition. The record still stands today. It was at the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games that Sylvie reached the pinnacle of international synchronized swimming by winning the gold medal in the solo event. Her routine was done to the music of composer Vangelis and brought fans to their feet. But Sylvie did not receive her medal on site. It was awarded to USA's Kristin Babb Sprague. However, due to a scoring controversy, FINA recommended that the International Olympic Committee award a duplicate gold medal to Sylvie which resulted in two solo synchronized swimming gold medallists - Sylvie and Kristin. She received her medal 14 months later in Montreal. Following the Olympics, Sylvie retired from competition, developing a calendar thick with speaking engagements, a television interview program called Simplement Sylvie and a public relations position with the National Bank of Canada. But it only lasted two years, and in 1994, she re-surfaced to help her Canadian Team win a medal in Atlanta. The format for Atlanta had changed and the solo and duet competitions were replaced by one event - the team competition. After the lay-off, she could still execute her movements clearly and decisively. Her artistic expression and physical strength shined. Team Canada won the silver medal, only one-and-one-half points behind the USA. All totaled, Sylvie had won 45 major international competitions in solo and figures events. Out of the water, she has been an analyst for the Commonwealth Games, Pan American Games and Sydney Olympic Games for Radio-Canada television station. She is author of Sylvie Frechette, Gold at Last. In 1993, she funded a National Bank of Canada bursary program giving $75,000 per year to young athletes in Canada. She has been a master of ceremonies for the Canadian Olympic Association at Olympic events in Sydney (2000) and Lillehammer (1994). She was invited by Prince Albert to do special shows in Monaco. One of the Olympic pools in Montreal has been named in her honor. She has been awarded the Canadian Olympic Order (1994) and Meritory Service Cross of Canada (1993). Perhaps her most dramatic post-competition achievement has been in founding the O Show of Cirque du Soleil in Las Vegas. Performed daily at the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas, the show is Sylvie's creation and is considered one of the "greatest shows on earth" performed both on stage and in a swimming pool "tank." As aquatic designer, coach and performer, her greatest challenge is to transform her finely tuned athletes into finely tuned artists, doing ten shows per week, 49 weeks per year. © 2003 ISHOF, Inc. |

Recipe by Knightcraft
"This is an excellent side dish, or a great topping for grilled steak or baked potatoes."
Watch video tips and tricks
1 1/2 tablespoons minced onion
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1 1/2 tablespoons white wine
1 tablespoon olive oil
8 ounces fresh mushrooms, quartered
salt and pepper to taste
We thought this was very good. I only gave it a for because I altered the quantities of the ingredients. I used 1/2 onion, 1 clove garlic, 1/2 tsp thyme and 1/4 cup of wine. It went over well with our herb roasted lamb dinner. My husband, who is not keen on mushrooms, very much enjoyed it and even went back for seconds. Its a keeper in our home.
With all the flavorful savory ingredients in this recipe I had high hopes and expectations for a real taste sensation, although I must admit I was a little skeptical about achieving that result by baking rather than sautéing. As it turns out, I was right. Both Hubs and I were underwhelmed and thought these were kind of boring. I'd love to try this recipe again, with all its wonderful ingredients, but on the stovetop rather than the oven, where the mushrooms can sauté rather than stew in their juices.

I made this recipe for my husband because he loves mushrooms (I hate them). I followed the recipe exactly. My husband LOVED them. He loved them so much, I actually tried them and I could not believe it, but I liked them. I'll be making these again!!!
Excellent! Enjoyed the flavors of the thyme with the portabello mushrooms we used (will also try it with morels)! Yes, I too, would prefer this sauteed, and I have enjoyed this dish both ways! But if you are looking to lose some pounds (as many of us are), or on a diet, baked is the way to go, and with the flavors of the spices, and truly to taste the mushrooms (I use portabellos or morels) this dish cannot be beat. With some ingenuity, anyone can enjoy this recipe as they see fit... But it is obvious to me that the author of this recipe was trying to put forth a very healthy, yet tasty recipe!
wonderfull, i made this to go along with a rost...i think every one at the table ate more mushrooms then rost!
This was very good and quick to put together. A nice mushroom side dish. I served it with steak, but have to admit I prefer the texture and meatiness of fried mushrooms with my steak. I will make this again but perhaps not with a steak.
I thought this was so-so. I much prefer the flavor and texture of sauteed mushrooms. The good thing about this recipe is that it's easy to make.
So flavorful!!! These were perfect! I used fresh thyme and just garlic powder. I LOVED these and the wine gives them great flavor...thanks!

War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery ... and Fighting Back is "Aggression"
by Kevin Carson
The US Department of Defense recently promulgated a new �defense� guidance document: �Sustaining US Global Leadership: Priorities for 21st Century Defense." I use scare quotes because it just doesn�t seem quite right to use �defense� to describe a document that � like its predecessors � envisions something like an American Thousand-Year Reich.
The greatest shift in emphasis is in the section "Project power despite Anti-Access/Area Denial Challenges." The �threat� to be countered is that China and Iran "will continue to pursue asymmetric means to counter our power projection capabilities."
That refers to a long-standing phenomenon: What Pentagon analysts call �Assassin�s Mace� weapons � cheap, agile weapons that render expensive, high-tech, weapons systems ineffective at a cost several orders of magnitude cheaper than the Pentagon�s gold-plated turds. In the context of �area denial,� they include cheap anti-ship mines, surface-to-air missiles, and anti-ship missiles like the Sunburn (which some believe could destroy or severely damage aircraft carriers).
Thus the Pentagon defines as a �threat� a country�s ability to defend itself effectively against attack or to prevent an enemy from putting offensive forces into place to attack it. Yes, you read that right: To the American national security establishment, it�s considered threatening when you prepare to defend yourself against attack by the United States. It�s the perspective of a Family Circus character: �Mommy, he hit me back!� That kind of double standard is pretty common in the National Security State�s assessment of the world.
What can one say of a situation in which America runs a military budget equal to the rest of the industrialized world put together, maintains military bases in half the countries around the globe, routinely intervenes to overthrow governments, rings China with military bases � then solemnly announces that China�s military establishment is �far larger than called for by its legitimate defensive needs?�
Considering that the U.S. considers its �legitimate defensive needs� to encompass outspending the other top ten military powers in the world combined and maintaining the ability to preemptively attack any other country in the world, it�s hard to guess what the Pentagon�s criterion is for determining China�s �legitimate defensive needs.� But it�s safe to say �legitimate� defensive forces don�t extend to the ability for China to defend its territory against attack from the main actual threat facing it: A global superpower trying to turn China�s neighborhood into a battlefield.
And how about attacking Saddam for �making war on his own neighbors� � when the U.S. actively supported his invasion of Iran in the 1980s? Not to mention the U.S. Marines waltzing in and out of most of America�s Caribbean �neighbors� throughout the middle of the 20th century. Did they have �incubator babies� in Nicaragua and Costa Rica back in the 1930s?
To Washington, any country capable of resisting American attack, or of �defying� American commands (whether under a UN Security Council figleaf or not) is by definition a �threat.� And any country inflicting significant losses on U.S. military forces, in the process of defending itself against American military attack, is guilty of aggression (against U.S. attempts to �defend our freedom,� one presumes).
American perceptions of �self-defense� and �aggression� are as distorted as those of Nazi Germany. When the only way you can �defend yourself� against another country�s �threat� is to go to the other side of the world to fight it, because it lacks the logistical capability to project military force more than a few hundred miles outside its own borders � and the main �threat� is its ability to fight back when you attack it � you know something�s pretty messed up.

Central bankers have no reason to NOT go to war. The citizens of the warring countries have to sacrifice, and not the central bankers. The central bankers profit from lending money, at interest, to both sides of the conflict. There is every reason for central bankers to love war, and to do everything they can do promote war.

From Winter to Summer 2008, the Museum's longterm installation in the 3rd floor Beaux Arts court ambulatory, About Time: 700 Years of European Painting will be taken off view. The reason is that the glass block floor of the court will be renovated for the first time since Museum's construction in the late 19th century. During this renovation period, at least 2 or the 4 ambulatory hallways surrounding the glass black floor will be closed on an as needed basis. Temporary barrier walls will be built to separate the floor renovation from public areas, and special signage is being created to guide visitors during this time.
This special signage is being hand-painted by Brooklyn artist Marie Roberts, who you may know from her work at Coney Island or one of her projects.
Over the past month, Marie has studied and sketched sculptures in the Museum's adjacent exhibition, Egypt Reborn. From these drawings, Marie will vividly paint mural signs that when installed, will activate the ambulatory spaces and lead visitors to see the Museum's internationally renowned collection of ancient and middle-eastern art.

Servings: 6 servings
Prep Time: 15 min
Cook Time: 20 min
Difficulty: Easy
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon sugar
Pinch salt
2 eggs
2 cups milk
1 tablespoon vegetable oil, for griddle
Marinara sauce:
1 can diced tomatoes
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, room temperature
Scrambled eggs:
5 large eggs
1 tablespoon sour cream
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon butter, for skillet
7 slices bacon, cooked and chopped
1 cup shredded mozzarella
2 tablespoons chiffonade fresh basil leaves
Maple syrup
Heat a nonstick griddle over medium heat while you prepare the pancake batter.
Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt in medium bowl. Whisk eggs and milk together in another bowl until combined.
Whisk the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and gently mix until incorporated.
Add the oil to the hot griddle and spread evenly to coat the bottom of the pan. Ladle about 1/3 cup of batter to the pan and cook the pancake for about 2 minutes. Flip the pancake and cook until brown on the other side, roughly 1 to 2 minutes longer. Transfer pancake to a plate. Repeat with remaining batter and set pancakes aside for assembly.
For the sauce:
In a medium bowl, combine tomatoes and cream cheese. Set aside until assembly.
For scrambled eggs:
Preheat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat for 1 minute.
Crack eggs into a large mixing bowl and whisk in sour cream; season with salt and pepper. Add butter to the hot skillet and allow to melt.
Add the eggs and reduce heat to medium-low. Scramble until cooked through, about 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the bacon and set aside for assembly.
For assembly:

By Karen Brierley on September 06, 2012
I first looked at it and it looked disgusting, honestly. Then I tasted it and it was surprisingly good! The only problem with it is that I felt like the pancake was a little thick and tough, but that might have been my cooking:) Overall, very good and picky eaters will enjoy it!

Welcome to the only fortified city north of Mexico! Old Québec is famous for its European charm and well-preserved architectural treasures. The entire district, which is best explored on foot, is a living history book, and every garden, building and street corner is its own chapter. Discover 400 years of history in the cradle of French civilization in North America.
Explore the Fortifications of Québec, which span close to 4.6 kilometers around Old Québec. They're one of a kind this side of Mexico!
Then wander over to Artillery Park, where characters in period costume will welcome you to defensive buildings dating back to the 17th and 18th centuries.
Take in the history of a site where decisions that affected all of North America were made at Saint-Louis Forts and Châteaux, an archaeological crypt revealed lately beneath the Dufferin Terrace.
And round off your trip by learning all about Jacques Cartier's first winter in Québec City in 1535 and the history of the Jesuits at Cartier-Brébeuf Park.
Wander round the "Gibraltar of the Americas" on Cape Diamond!
A key part of the city's fortifications, the star-shaped Citadel showcases Québec's military history. The Royal 22e Régiment museum (housed in a 1750 powder magazine and a military prison dating back to 1842), the summer military ceremonies (changing of the guard, firing of the cannon), and the Governor General of Canada's official residence are all worth seeing.
Discover Québec City's military heritage!
Take in the Odyssey multimedia exhibition and relive the city's history from the first days of New France and the battles between the French and English forces (Montcalm-Wolfe in 1759, Lévis-Murray in 1760) until the park's creation.
Battlefields Park is not only one of the world's finest city parks, it is also a lasting reminder of the site's storied past.
Thanks to state-of-the-art technologies, explore the history of the Québec City Martello towers at Martello Tower 1.
Come inside and look around this impressive building, which was built between 1786 and 1886. The National Assembly Chamber, home to Québec's parliamentarians, the Legislative Council Room, the Speakers' Gallery, and the renowned restaurant Le Parlementaire are also worth a visit.
Churches are to Québec City what castles are to Europe: architectural marvels.
Québec is a real treat for heritage buffs. You'll be amazed by the crypt at the Notre-Dame de Québec Basilica-Cathedral, the final resting place of four governors of New France lie; Notre-Dame-des-Victoires church, which was built in 1688 and is the oldest stone church in North America; the Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré Shrine and the many other churches in the region that are over 100 years old!
The Huron-Wendat nation, which allied with the French in the time of New France, shares its culture and traditions with modern-day visitors at Musée Huron-Wendat, the traditional Huron site, the Interpretation Centre of Parc de la Falaise et de la chute Kabir Kouba, the Wendat flower gardens, and its craft stores.
Admire heritage homes, mills, and churches, and discover the know-how of our artisans at various economuseums along the New France Route, one of the oldest thoroughfares in all of North America.

Few shoes are as famous as the Converse Outlet. The figures are pretty impressive. Since 1917, Converse have made and sold more than 800,000,000 pairs of shoes, 550,000,000 of which are All Stars OX, and over 60% of everyone in America has bought at least one pair. That's a staggering number of people, and it means there would be enough Converse shoes for everyone in the UK to have 12 pairs! No wonder you can't walk down a high street without seeing a pair. It'*just the average person that buys converse either ? celebrities are constantly being spotted in their favourite pair of chucks. Elvis was apparently a huge fan of the brand too, and you can bet that his were white.Welcome to Our Converse Outlet to pick Converse Hi-top OX Black |

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Significantly overweight Boy Scouts may want to skip dessert if they plan on attending this year's Jamboree, as officials are declaring those who are out of shape will be unable to participate.
The National Scout Jamboree will be held at The Summit: Bechtel Family National Scout Reserve in Fayette and Raleigh counties in July and will feature high-adventure sports like ziplining, biking and swimming.
While national Scout officials have declined interview requests, statements and videos on the Summit website make the fitness requirements clear.
"Jamborees at the Summit will be physically demanding experiences," said Dan McCarthy, Summit director, in a blog post.
"West Virginia is called the 'Mountain State' for a reason. While there are level areas, there are also regular changes in grade as you hike from point to point, and all movement will be on foot (no buses or personal vehicles)."
"It will be common to see 200-foot elevation changes as you move about the site (think of that as going up about 20 floors in an office building). A number of our activities require more stamina and fitness, too — think climbing, rappelling, rafting, mountain biking, and skateboarding."
Body mass index will be a deciding factor in determining whether a Scout or leader is able to attend the Jamboree.
If a person's BMI is 31.9 or less, the participant is generally allowed. If the BMI ranges from 32.0 to 39.9, the application will be reviewed by Jamboree health care professionals to confirm qualification to attend. Participants likely will be asked to provide additional information if in this range.
If the BMI is 40.0 or higher, the participant is ineligible.
A 5-foot-9 inch Scout would have to weigh just over 270 pounds to have a BMI of 40.
BMI is calculated by dividing weight in pounds by height in inches squared and multiplying by 703.
For example, if a person weighs 150 pounds and is 5 feet 5 inches or 65 inches tall, the calculation would result in a BMI of 24.96.
The Centers for Disease Control suggests using BMI as a screening tool for obesity. The CDC's online BMI calculator can be found at www.cdc.gov/healthyweight/assessing/bmi/">www.cdc.gov/healthyweight/assessing/bmi/.
In an email statement, National Jamboree Director Larry Pritchard said, "Scouting supports a healthy lifestyle, and Scouting's outdoor programs such as hiking, camping, swimming, climbing, and conservation reflect a commitment to physical wellness.
"Indeed, the Scout Oath includes the commitment 'to keep myself physically strong.'
"The health and safety of those attending the Jamboree is a joint effort among the BSA, parents, youth and volunteer leadership. As the newest high adventure base of the BSA, The Summit is a fun but physically demanding facility."
While BMI is one of the factors that will be taken into account when considering an individual's acceptance to the Jamboree, other minimum physical fitness standards will be enforced.
They include health history, submitted health data and recommendation of the applicant's personal health care provider. Risk factors would include hypertension, diabetes, tobacco use and prior heart attack.

Macy's Inspires Kids to Create Theatre With Yes, Virginia Musical Around the Country
By Robert Simonson
Macy's is reaching out to school theatre programs across the country to provide seed money and support for productions of a new musical based on the famous 1897 newspaper column popularly headlined as "Yes, Virginia, There Is a Santa Claus." * For decades, Americans have turned to Macy's during the holiday season for a dependable dose of Christmas cheer, either by shopping amidst the yuletide decorations at the landmark Herald Square department store or by soaking in the pageant and spectacle of the annual Thanksgiving Day parade. This year, however, Macy's will not concentrate its festive efforts solely at the corner 34th and Broadway. It will be exporting cheer across the nation. The retail giant has engaged its creative team to conjure a stage musical called Yes, Virginia The Musical, based, in part, on the 2009, Macy's-produced animated television special "Yes, Virginia." Both the stage show and TV special were inspired by the famous 1897 New York Sun editorial which answered a letter written by 8-year-old Virginia O'Hanlon, who wrote to the newspaper asking if there is a Santa Claus. As Christmas is the season of giving, the new show is being provided free of royalties to schools nationwide. The application period for interested schools ended on Sept. 13. More than 50 institutions applied. Productions will be mounted this December in every time zone, from Hawaii to Utah to Kentucky to Florida. Macy's is helping the schools stage the hour-long, 12-song show in several ways. It will offer a $1,000 grant to support each production to help defray scenic and costuming expenses. Also, beginning in late September, participants will be able to access a digital toolkit that will include a full, interactive script; piano and vocal scores; downloadable orchestral and vocal performance tracks; and character summaries. Unlike most musicals, Yes, Virginia, which has music by Wesley Whatley and book and lyrics by William Schermerhorn, came together quickly. The team wrote the show in the early months of this year, and workshopped it at Stagedoor Manor Performing Arts Training Center last summer. "It's been a whirlwind," said Schermerhorn. Whatley and Schermerhorn have worked on the creative team of Macy's Parade and Entertainment Group for years. They wrote a stage production of Miracle on 34th Street which has played the Macy's puppet theatre, on the eighth floor of the 34th Street store, for years. (A 25-minute puppet-theatre version of the Yes, Virginia musical premieres this season at Herald Square.) They also wrote the song "Yes, Virginia" for the 2010 Thanksgiving Parade as part of the store's holiday-oriented "Believe" ad campaign. The tune won the duo a Daytime Emmy Award. "We were looking for a new show to do," said Schermerhorn. "We thought, 'How do we top Miracle on 34th Street?'" Then they watched the 2009 animated "Virginia" special, which retold a story as familiar to Americans as is the "34th Street" yarn. (The writing team had nothing to do with the cartoon's creation; the new show was instead the effort of Macy's marketing and Broadway branch.) "We watched it and thought, 'This has to have songs,'" said Whatley. Echoed Schermerhorn, "It should have been a musical to begin with." Around the same time, Macy's advertising firm was pitching to store brass the idea that Virginia should be converted into a stage production. "It was like fate getting together," said Schermerhorn. The musical is designed so that it's a good fit for any school's arts program. "Some schools have chorus programs," explained Whatley. "Some had very advanced theatre programs. We tried to create a piece that could translate easily based on the program in the school that does it." Cast-size, too, is flexible. The show required roughly 20 actors. But, said Schermerhorn, "I've heard in some places it will be as many as 60 people on stage." And why, you might ask, should Macy's — which already gets plenty of business and publicity during the holiday season — wish to embark on such a seemingly altruistic project? Well, according to Martine Reardon, chief marketing officer for Macy's, "This school musical program is another way for Macy's to entertain our customers, allowing us to share this beloved story with even more families this year, spreading the 'Believe' philosophy and giving our support to the performing arts in communities nationwide." Schermerhorn added, "I think it's wonderful that Macy's is able to contribute to the arts. It's a personal vision that both Wesley and I share, about how important it is to give back to the schools, and teach kids what it's like to be on stage."
