Hampton Grows wants your empty toliet paper rolls for a seed-growing project. (Google Image / December 15, 2012) |
Hampton Grows, a gardening organization partnering with the Hampton Clean City Commission to encourage community gardening, has plans to give your empty toilet paper rolls a second life if you will take the time and effort to donate them. You can drop toilet paper rolls off at the Hampton Clean City Commission office between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. Monday through Friday, according to a news release.
What is the plan? Hampton Grows and fellow gardening advocates will be making the toilet paper rolls into seedling pots that can then be planted in gardens throughout the city. Immediate plans are for seedlings to be distributed to Cary Elementary School, the Foodbank, and North Phoebus Community Center. The seedling pots will also be used as educational tools at displays and other community venues.
So please save those clean toilet paper rolls (no toilet paper please), keep them round and uncrushed, and share them with Hampton's community gardeners through the Hampton Clean City Commission.
For more information, call Hampton Clean City Commission at 727-1130 or email email@example.com. Also, check out www.hamptongrows.org for more information.

Abstract: Mating disruption techniques are used in pest control for many species of insects, yet little is known regarding the environmental persistence of these pheromones following their application and if persistence is affected by climatic conditions. We first studied the persistent effect of ground applications of Luretape® GM in Lymantria dispar (L) mating disruption in VA, USA in 2006. The removal of Luretape® GM indicated that the strong persistent effect of disparlure in the environment reported by previous studies is produced by residual pheromone in the dispensers as opposed to environmental contamination. In 2010 and 2011, we evaluated the efficacy of two formulations, Disrupt® II and SPLAT GMTM, in VA and WI, USA, which presented different climatic conditions. In plots treated in WI and VA, male moth catches in pheromone-baited traps were reduced in the year of treatment and one year after the pheromone applications relative to untreated controls. However, similar first- and second-year effects of pheromone treatments in VA and WI suggest that the release rate over one and two years was the same across markedly different climates. Future applications that use liquid or biodegradable formulations of synthetic pheromones could reduce the amount of persistence in the environment.

So well organised! Superb service!
Compliments:Dear LuxuryLink and Uniworld Team! I'd love to express my admiration on overall experience we've got with this cruise. Everything is so well organised and the service will satisfies any high demands.We were delightful!
Small disappointment: When I purchased this cruise in March-it was mentioned on the web site - Family Programme (I went with my husband and two children). But when we came on board, we came to know ,that this programme was cancelled. Nobody took an action to inform us about it in advance. The Staff did all they could to compensate our frustration - they installed Nintendo game in our boys cabin, which helped a lot . Some days it was a bit difficult to plan our schedule according to the interests of the children.Please let us know about such changes in the programme in advance. We are looking forward to use your sophisticated services in future.

This is the first trip Ive planned that absolutely exceeded my expectations and lived up to its glowing marketing description. All staff members were professional, courteous, helpful and cheerful - attentive but not intrusive service at all levels. The meal selection, preparation and presentation were outstanding. The local tour guides were excellent - knowledgeable, interesting and eager to share the history of their towns. We took this river cruise for its focus on scenery, tours of history and culture, and cuisine. We were not looking for nightlife. However, we very much enjoyed the local entertainers from Germany and France since they augmented the days tours and offered further exposure to the art of the region. Overall, I think the most impressive thing is how relaxing the trip was - not because it was dull, but because there were no worries. The smallest details were prepared for and addressed. The ship and its staff became familiar to us quickly so all we had to do was enjoy our travel and the local experiences.

Oolong Suckers: Beware of Friendly Strangers Inviting You for Tea
We met outside the Forbidden City, under the large portrait of Mao. I was en route to see the great leader's embalmed body, which lies in a mausoleum across the street in Tiananmen Square. She was heading that way too.
"Travel alone?" she asked, after bumping into me by accident.
"Yes," I replied.
"Me too."
It was mid-April, a couple weeks ago. The sun shined brightly. Not the polluted Beijing air you read so much about. It was a good day to be a tourist.
She told me her name was Xin and that she hailed from Shaanxi, near Xi'an, home of the terracotta warriors. She'd flown into town that week for a wedding and had the day to herself. Read More

The Claremont Review of Books makes cutting-edge arguments for a new, reinvigorated conservatism, one that draws upon the timeless principles of the American founding, and applies them to the moral and political problems that we face today. We believe this is essential if conservatism is to understand its own majestic purposes, and become a more effective political force.
In our first year of publication, we've featured exclusive excerpts from important new books on Ronald Reagan, the Progressive Movement, and the 2000 presidential election, offered a blueprint for victory in the War on Terrorism, debunked liberal and conservative critics of Abraham Lincoln, explored the political philosophy of John Ford's westerns, exposed the nihilism of modern American jurisprudence, picked apart the latest theories in favor of restitution for slavery, assessed and reassessed the legacies of the Adams family, Thomas Jefferson, Bill Clinton, Daniel Patrick Moynihan, and Henry "Scoop" Jackson, and revealed the recipe for the perfect martini.
The Spring 2002 issue is our most important yet. It features a powerful essay by Hadley Arkes on the moral weightlessness of prominent American sociologist Alan Wolfe; an explanation by Larry P. Arnn about how Winston Churchill's idea of empire can aid our efforts against terrorism; a new essay by Angelo M. Codevilla on the perils of waging a "phony war" against terrorism; a review by Thomas Krannawitter of a new book that purports to expose "the real Lincoln" (it doesn't); "Christian, moral, and philosophical reflections" on wine by Benjamin Franklin; as well as reviews and essays by Ward Connerly, Edward C. Banfield, Michael Anton, and many more, with original illustrations by Elliott Banfield.

Hey everyone - new here and first post. I have a 2007 Suburban and occasionally the ABS and Service Traction Control lights come on and go nuts! Then as mysteriously as they came, they are off.
Of course, the dealer cannot troubleshoot unless it is actually happening.
Has anyone else seen this sort of behavior? Thanks.
Welcome to the site!
There was a thread a few days ago about someone's ABS going nuts. I didn't read it through all the way, but you might want to search for it. If I come across it and it seems to have useful info. I'll link it here.

E.U. Regulator Tells Google To Pause Privacy Changes [telegraph.co.uk] In a letter to Google's chief executive Larry Page, Europe's 'Data Protection Working Party' wrote that "we call for a pause in the interests of ensuring that there can be no misunderstanding about Google's commitments to information rights of their users and EU citizens, until we have completed our analysis".
The committee gave no indication of how long it would like the pause to be.
A senior source at Google expressed surprise at the move, but noted that there was a month for the committee to examine its concerns. The source also said that while the committee had no legal authority to require any delay, the tone of its letter was significantly less aggressive than those Google has received in the past.

More so than many countries Poland has endured periods of oppression and internal struggle, but with EU membership money has begun to flow into the country. On a holiday to Poland you will find vast wildernesses, breathtaking mountains, unspoilt forests peppered with lakes and windswept sand dunes on the Baltic coast. Across this huge expanse you will encounter towns and cities rich in history both glorious and tragic.
Lovers of old architecture will be charmed by the well-preserved gems of Krakow, Wroclaw and Gdansk, with enough cobbled streets, medieval churches, castles, cafes and museums to lose yourself for days in. Poland is also a proud brewing nation with many establishments housing their own microbreweries, so beer enthusiasts are extremely well-catered for.
Admire the painstaking reconstruction of Warsaw's Old Town which contrasts so vividly with the Stalinist architecture. Take in the treasures of Krakow whose imposing castle peers down on a maze of medieval streets and follow the struggles of Solidarity amidst the rebuilt Renaissance delights of Gdansk. On your holidays to Poland, don't miss enchanting Wroclaw, spread over twelve islands with over 100 bridges spanning the network of canals, full of dramatic Gothic architecture.
Poland holidays can also be about the great outdoors; head into the mountains and the winter sport resort of Zakopane where you can follow the walking trails through the nearby Tatra National Park. Delve underground into the cavernous chambers of a salt mine, stop at Jasna Gora Monastery, home to the miraculous icon of the Black Madonna, and contemplate the suffering of those who passed through Auschwitz.
Regent Holidays arranges tailor-made itineraries, group tours and fly-drive holidays to Poland, as well as city breaks to Warsaw, Krakow and Gdansk.

Finance & Administration
The Oregon University System's Finance and Administration Division has broad responsibility for the development and administration of the state university system's budget, including funding needs for operations and capital, and develops policy recommendations to the State Board of Higher Education.
The office advocates for and helps to achieve the System's short and long term objectives, and works closely with the Chancellor and leaders of the seven campuses to help achieve the vision and initiatives of the State Board. The Vice Chancellor for Finance and Administration works closely with an Administrative Council of campus vice presidents for finance and administration to coordinate campus and system fiscal planning and reporting. The Department also exchanges information about OUS in a variety of policy activities involving public and governmental agencies.
The Department of Finance and Administration is responsible for the administrative management of collective bargaining, fiscal control, and operating and capital budget processes, and other system functions through Human Resources, Labor Relations, the Controller's Division, Budget Operations, Contracts and Purchasing, Capital and Facilities Planning, Doing Business with OUS, and Risk Management.
The Department also oversees technology support for OUS through two contracts, one with OSU for the management of administrative technologies for the system office and the four regional universities, and one with UO for the provision of wide-area networking services for all OUS campuses and other public entities. The Labor Relations office, within Finance and Administration, manages and coordinates collective bargaining efforts for the system.

The news:
Every day across Europe, dozens of small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) go bankrupt as their invoices are not paid. The European Union therefore adopted legal provisions to end late payments. By 16th March 2013 Member States will need to have integrated the revised Late Payments Directive in commercial transactions into their national law. It obliges public authorities to pay for goods and services within 30 days or, in very exceptional circumstances, within 60 days, the interest rate in case of non-compliance will be of at least 8%. Businesses should pay their invoices within 60 days, unless they expressly agree otherwise and if it is not grossly unfair to the creditor.
The background:
It is particularly difficult for SMEs to stand up for their right to prompt payment. Late payments can lead to high costs in terms of time and money, and a dispute can sour relations with customers. In the current economic situation this damaging payment culture in Europe is also often aggravated by difficulties of SMEs in obtaining access to credit.
Directive 2011/7/EU is the EU's tool to combat overdue payments, providing a legal framework for pursuing debtors. The Directive's main provisions include the setting of a maximum period for the receipt of payment for goods and services in commercial transactions with public authorities, conferring more rights to enterprises facing late payment, increasing transparency and awareness and increasing the statutory interest rate.
The event:
A press release and press memo will be available on the day.

Azathioprine (AZA) is not approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of Crohn's disease and its contribution to the effectiveness of use in combination with REMICADE® has not been established. The use of AZA in combination with REMICADE® should take into account the potential risks associated with combination therapy and monotherapy.
REMICADE® is indicated for reducing signs and symptoms and inducing and maintaining clinical remission in adult patients with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease (CD) who have had an inadequate response to conventional therapy.
REMICADE® is indicated for reducing the number of draining enterocutaneous and rectovaginal fistulas and maintaining fistula closure in adult patients with fistulizing CD.
SELECTED IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATIONSerious and sometimes fatal side effects have been reported with REMICADE®. Infections due to bacterial, mycobacterial, invasive fungal, viral, or other opportunistic pathogens (e.g., TB, histoplasmosis) have been reported. Lymphoma, including cases of fatal hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma (HSTCL), and other malignancies have been reported, including in children and young adult patients. Due to the risk of HSTCL, carefully assess the risk/benefit especially if the patient has Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis, is male, and is receiving azathioprine or 6-mercaptopurine treatment. REMICADE® is contraindicated in patients with severe hypersensitivity reactions to REMICADE® and certain patients with congestive heart failure. Other serious side effects reported include melanoma and Merkel cell carcinoma, hepatitis B reactivation, hepatotoxicity, hematological events, hypersensitivity, neurological events, and lupus-like syndrome.

Plane retrieving telescoping poles
Looking for some info on plane retrieving poles. I have seen one of these the 40 foot verson and its very nice but a tad pricy. Wondering what else was on the market or what folks use to get planes out of trees.
Nov 16, 2012, 01:56 PM | |
Ettore Steccone made some really nice window washing extension poles. Janitorial Supply houses carry them.
I prefer the "wrist-rocket-with-a-fishing-reel" approach. Everything you need fits in a small paper bag. Get a Whamo wrist rocket and a cheap open-face fishing reel. Cut off the top of the "T" that is used to hold the reel to your fishing pole. Glue the reel into the base of the wrist rockets grip, with the reel facing forward. Put about 250' of 100# line on the reel. Tie a 1 oz fishing weight to the line. Launch 1 oz fishing weights over the tree that your plane is caught in. Tie a 200' piece of 1/4" polypropelene rope to the 100# line and pull the 1/4 rope up and over the branch. Now pull like crazy- get the tree swaying. If you tie a loop in the rope big enough to putt your foot through you can really shake the tree. Your plane will fall out, hopefully with minimal damage. We've also used the extension pole approach, but a pole stiff enough to get high enough is heavy enough to need multiple people, and a bear to thread up through the branches. The best technique is to push the plane up and out, until it's on the outside of tree's canopy, and then let it fall off the tree. |

These are one of three companies that make some form of what is used in the electric utility business called extendosticks or tel-o-poles that allow lineman to do some jobs from the ground while having a tool that insulates them from the line current.

I've used 4 sections from a roof rake. I can stick those on a 10 foot piece of (very small) sailboat mast. I could stick an 18 foot telescoping pole I have on the other end for a total of something like 46 feet, though I'm not sure I could handle it.

As Luck would have it he did find one in a corner of the shop that was missing the second section and he got permission from a supervisor to take it. FYI he knew it as a "switch stick" should anybody ask their local lineman to see if he can get one. |

What piece of art changed your life? How did it affect you?
One form of art that changed my life is a song called "We Go Go" by Osibisa on their album African Flight, which was first released in 1981. Later, it was on another album called The Story. On that album, Osibisa did what we do best—fusing western music with some African rhythms. Their goal had always been to make people dance, but on "We Go Go" the beat was uptempo, and they were talking about political stuff (slavery). For me, it is the perfect song in both the music and the message. Now, most of Elikeh songs are dance-friendly and political, and we play The Story at all of our shows.
Massama Dogo and his D.C.-based band, Elikeh, play a politically-charged hybrid of rock and African highlife that's rooted in Dogo's West African/Togolese heritage. Elikeh's new disc, Adje! Adje!, has just been released, and the group plays the Creative Alliance's Patterson Theater tomorrow night. Tickets are $10. Be sure to listen for "We Go Go" playing over the p.a., before the band hits the stage.

Thoughts on ThinkingAt my first formal interview with Suzuki Roshi, I didn't know what to say. Perhaps I really could not think of what to say, or nothing I was thinking was worth saying. I was young and sincere, and I wanted to make a good impression. After a couple of minutes of sitting quietly facing each other, I began to relax and Suzuki took the initiative. "How's your meditation?" "Not so good," I replied. "What's not so good?" "I'm thinking a lot." "And what's the problem with thinking?" he asked. That stumped me. When I looked directly for the problem with thinking, I couldn't find it. My fallback position was to tell him the do's and don'ts of meditation. "You're not supposed to think in meditation," I said. "You're supposed to quiet your mind." "Thinking is pretty normal, don't you think?" I had to agree with the Roshi, who then explained that the problem with thinking was not thinking per se, but thinking that was stuck. When people tell me meditation is "difficult," what they really mean is that quieting their minds or stopping their thinking is what's difficult. And just as I was as a new student, they are extremely reluctant to examine the issue more carefully. It's not so simple. And when it is not simple, the simplest approach is to stick to the rules. I've known people who have seriously devoted themselves to "not-thinking," and when I ask them if they called to let their friends know that they would be late, they say, "No, I didn't think of that." This is not a new phenomenon. An old Chinese Zen Master once said, "Some of you are taking me literally when I say, 'Don't think,' and you are making your minds like a rock. This is a cause of insentiency and an obstruction to the Way. When I say not to think, I mean that if you have a thought, think nothing of it." Mind Against MindThe capacity to think is an essential element of our lives. We need to plan, make decisions, and communicate. The problem is not that we think but that we haven't had a truly new thought for most of our lifetime. In other words, our thinking is fixed. For example, once I believe no one likes me, do you think I'm going to let anything change my mind? No way. I can explain any contradictory evidence: You don't know me well enough; if you really knew me, you wouldn't like me; you are just pretending to like me so you can get something out of me. Thinking tends to be for and against—and to be intolerant of thoughts that do not obviously concur. This is often referred to as "the disease of the mind is to set mind against mind." Rather than eliminate thinking, you could say that one of the basic skills to develop in meditation is to be able to hold and sustain contradictory thoughts—calming the impulse to eliminate the opposition. One obvious example has to do with sitting still. You want to sit still, so can you have the thought to move and go on sitting still? Or do you have to do what the thought says? If sitting still means eliminating the thought of moving, you may find meditation difficult—because the way to remove thoughts is to tighten muscles, and this makes sitting quite painful. Holding on to a thought, such as, "I am not going to move," also tightens muscles. This is what you are busy doing a good deal of the time, so if you are serious about releasing and calming the body and the mind, thoughts are going to be popping up one after the other. The trick is not to mind. You could say that the point of meditation is to liberate thinking, and understanding this, you are ready to examine what to do with thinking during meditation. There are two basic strategies. One is to do something other than thinking and to use your thinking to help accomplish that. The other is to give your thinking something to do other than what it usually does. It's important to keep in mind that the goal is not to eliminate your thinking. I hear this all the time: "I'm so sick and tired of my thinking. I just want to get rid of it once and for all." Your thinking knows you want to get rid of it, so it is going to cling to you for all it's worth. So what do you do with thinking during meditation? This first strategy, which is basic to Buddhism, especially Zen, emphasizes posture and breathing. With energy and commitment, give your attention fully to them rather than to your thinking. This means emphasizing a straighter spine, including the small of the back curved slightly in and the neck long. But don't be shy about asking your thinking to lend a hand when needed. Is the neck shortening and the chin jutting forward? That's a red flag that thinking is in full bloom, and when your thinking notices that, lengthen your neck. You can also have your thinking count the breaths, say on the exhalation, or note the breath as it proceeds in and out. Any Questions?The second strategy involves giving your thinking a task. Good ways of doing this include koan study, the vipassana practice of noting, and any host of other creative endeavors. For instance, you could challenge your thinking with specific questions, such as, "What was your original face before your parents were born?" (Chew on that for a while.) Or you could practice taking mental notes, as appropriate: "thinking," "judging," "planning," "remembering," "anger," "joy," "seeing," or "hearing."There is also the koan of daily life: Ask your thinking, "What is it you really want?" or "What is the most important point?" Any one of these activities can keep thinking occupied. In a sense, what you are doing is inviting your thinking to join you in meditation rather than trying to exclude it. This is similar to how you might work with a young child, explaining, "Here's what we are doing, meditating, and I would like you to help me by observing posture, sensing the breath, or whatever it is we are focusing on." A third approach is to make a deal with your thinking: Leave me alone for now and I'll check back with you later. The secret here is that you are not trying to get rid of your thinking permanently, only temporarily. This is similar to the parent-child model: "Listen sweetheart, I am really busy right now, so please don't bother me. Could you play by yourself for awhile? And later we will play together." You directly ask your thinking to leave you alone—to suspend judgment, gossip, and commenting so you can meditate—and agree to get together afterward to listen to what your thinking has to say. But even with this approach, your thinking often can be very suspicious. I learned how to deal with this obstacle from a speech consultant when I had trouble expressing myself at meetings. "Tell me what you wanted to say," she prompted. "I can't." When she wondered why not, I explained: "My thinking won't let me. It says it won't be good enough." She offered some instructions: "Ask your thinking to go into the room next door while you talk, and promise that you will check back with it when you are done." "It won't go." "There's a television there." "It doesn't believe I'll check back." "Promise." "It still won't go," I lamented. "Close the door! Force it shut!" she insisted. Finally, I told her what I had wanted to say at the meeting. "Now, let's ask your thinking what it thought," she said. My thinking was pleased and relieved to be consulted: "That was rather good," it told me. But my speech consultant wasn't finished. "And now let's ask your thinking if it has any suggestions for improvement?" My thinking was so pleased and politely responded, "You might have tried this or emphasized that a little more." This was a fundamental shift from the more habitual approach of simply telling my thinking to go away and not "bother" me. Here, I asked my thinking to be quiet so as to closely observe what was happening—and then tell me about it. Always be mindful that you and your thoughts are aiming to discover engaging, creative, enjoyable ways to meditate—as well as ways to live, awaken, and benefit each other. Think of your thinking not as an adversary but as a spiritual friend.

I will frequently share articles or links that seem to be of interest to us all. This is a brief article from MedScape re the association between high fat diets and the risk of metastasis. Since there is so little really known about what we can do to maximize our chances of staying well (after we finish the recommended treatment), I am always glad to hear of something that might make difference. The bottom line of this particular study is that it may be wise for women who have had a diagnosis of breast cancer to eat a lower fat, or, at least, not a high fat, diet.
To view the article with Web enhancements, go to:
High-Fat Diet Dramatically Increases Cancer Metastasis
Zosia Chustecka
Medscape Medical News 2009. © 2009 Medscape
March 5, 2009 Ñ Although the link between obesity and cancer is well established, exactly why there is a link remains unclear. Now, an animal study shows that a high-fat diet dramatically increases cancer metastasis, and offers a mechanistic explanation for what has been, up to now, anecdotal evidence.
The study was published online January 30 in BMC Cancer.
"These findings demonstrate than an increase in lipids leads directly to a rise in cancer metastasis", said senior author Ji-Xin Cheng, PhD, assistant professor at the Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering, Purdue University, in West Lafayette, Indiana.
The study was conducted in mice implanted with a tumor that metastasized, but there was a 300% increase in metastases in mice fed a high-fat diet, compared with those fed a lean diet. In addition, the researchers showed that the high-fat diet had a direct effect on cancer-cell membranes, which increased their aggressiveness.
The implication from this study is that patients who already have cancer could be increasing the risk of it spreading if they eat a high-fat diet, comments lead author Thuc Le, PhD, also from Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering. However, when asked whether physicians should advise their patients about this, Dr. Le told that there are "many caveats." "Firstly, our study was performed in laboratory animals," he noted. "It's unclear whether our observations hold true in humans."
"But, when our study is viewed in the context of many other clinical studies of human patients and the strong correlation between lipid-rich breast cancer and aggressive clinical behavior, including early death, then a link (albeit indirect) between high-fat diet and cancer aggressiveness should emerge," he added.
Dramatic Increase in Metastasis
The study was carried out in 32 mice implanted with a lung cancer cell line, injected subcutaneously into a hind leg.
One group of animals was fed a lean diet (4.2% fat and 3.82 kcal/g) and the other was fed a high-fat diet (34.9% fat and 5.24 kcal/g). The mice on the high-fat diet became "very sick" after 4 weeks, Dr. Le explained; this was "clearly due to a very high number of tumor colonies and very large tumor colonies in the lungs." These animals also "lost tremendous body weight and mobility. To minimize their suffering, they were euthanized on week 4."
In contrast, the mice fed a lean diet survived with normal weight and mobility until week 6, he added.
At 4 weeks after tumor implantation, there was a 3-fold increase in lung metastasis in mice on the high-fat diet, compared with mice on the lean diet. There was a strong correlation between the high-fat diet and increased cancer metastasis, Dr. Le noted.
However, there may also be a more general conclusion. The mice on the high-fat diet had elevated visceral adipose tissue weight (belly-fat weight) and elevated levels of free fatty acids, and "these conditions are normally observed in obesity," Dr. Le pointed out. This suggests that obesity or a high-fat diet might accelerate cancer spread, he commented.
Increase in Circulating Tumor Cells
In addition, mice on the high-fat diet also showed an early increase in circulating tumor cells, with levels 3-fold higher than those seen in the lean-diet mice 2 weeks after tumor implantation. However, this difference gradually declined and became indistinguishable by week 4, the researchers note.
"We don't know the exact reason because we don't have direct evidence showing the whereabouts of the circulating cancer cells at all times," Dr. Le explained. However, one speculative explanation is that, in the mice fed the high-fat diet, the cancer cells escaped from the primary tumor and into the bloodstream (intravasion) at a faster rate than in mice fed the lean diet.
A more detailed study of the cancer cells themselves revealed a direct effect of the diet on the cancer-cell membrane. The researchers studied this using an imaging method known as coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering, and they found "physical perturbations" in the cancer-cell membrane, which contributed to increased cancer aggressiveness.
In mice fed a high-fat diet, the increased lipid levels resulted in increased membrane phase separation and membrane rounding in cancer cells, which enhanced their ability to separate and spread through the body. The more rounded shape leads to reduced cellÐcell adhesion and increased tissue invasion, the authors explain.
"If the cancer cells don't have excess lipids, they stick together and form very tight junctions in tumors, but increasing lipids causes them to take on a rounded shape and separate from each other," Dr. Le explained.
The team further demonstrated that linoleic acid, which is predominant in polyunsaturated fats, causes increasing membrane phase separation, whereas oleic acid, found in monounsaturated fats, does not.
The researchers have disclosed no relevant financial relationships.

Yucca Valley
I returned to Yucca Valley one day last week to drive around and see some of the things that I didn't get to see (except fleetingly) when hubby was with me. THANK GOODNESS he went back to work! I love this huge horse statue, which is in front of a saloon! And, this coffee house has been there for 50+ years! The 29 Palms Marine base is up in this high desert and we constantly see Marines on the move! On this day, there was a convoy traveling through town on their way to the base.

Currency Convertibility
Definition of 'Currency Convertibility'
The ease with which a country's currency can be converted into gold or another currency. Convertibility is extremely important for international commerce. When a currency in inconvertible, it poses a risk and barrier to trade with foreigners who have no need for the domestic currency.
Investopedia explains 'Currency Convertibility'
Government restrictions can often result in a currency with a low convertibility. For example, a government with low reserves of hard foreign currency often restrict currency convertibility because the government would not be in a position to intervene in the foreign exchange market (i.e. revalue, devalue) to support their own currency if and when necessary.

Brake Controllers
So when buying a brake controller what do you "need"??
Will an $60 one work as well as a $150 one? This is for an 01 WJ pulling an 18' dovetail with a Jeep wrangler |
April 29th, 2006, 05:23 PM | #2 |
Got Jeep?
The cheaper ones use a mechanical pendulum to guage how much power to send to the trailer brakes. Not good when going up hills (won't send much power to trailer brakes) or going down hills (will send to much power to trailer brakes).
A Wrangler plus an 18 foot trailer weigh more then your Grand, so you want to make sure your trailer brakes will work as smooth as possible. Sure hope your trailer has brakes on both axles. A good brand is Tekonsha, and one of their better models is the Prodigy. You can get 'em on eBay for as little as $100. This is the one I have, and love it. |

Hoppy makes one called "Impulse", it's adjustable / digital. You can usually find one at TSC for under $80. It worked as good as the prodigy did on my last tow vehicle. Not as many features, but still good.
