Former Atty. General Troy King: VictoryLand Raid 'Gives Alabama a Black Eye'From Macon County -- State troopers are standing guard at VictoryLand. Power has been restored to the casino, but the facility remains closed after Attorney General Luther Strange served a search warrant yesterday and seized what he says are illegal gaming machines. A familiar sight from three years ago when troopers attempted to raid the casino. Alabama News Network spoke to then-Attorney General Troy King to get his take on the matter. "I had so hoped we were past this," says King. "We had raids. We wasted millions and millions of dollars. We had the federal corruption trail and wasted another hundred million dollars, and here we go again." King was Attorney General when Bob Riley was governor. Riley had tried raiding VictoryLand in 2010, because he said the casino was skirting gambling laws. King says his opinion then remains the same today. Governor Robert Bentley did tell Alabama News Network that knew about the raid last weekend, but says he had little to do with it. Bentley says he is concerned about the 250-some VictoryLand employees who are now out of work. But King says Tuesday's events are a waste of resources in a time the state could use the money. Alabama News Network is continuing to reach out to strange. We have been told he is in New Orleans for the BP hearing that is being held on Monday. We have been told the dog track area and restaurants should hopefully be up and running by the end of the week. |

Danny Granger... Maybe you've heard of the guy.
23.2 ppg, 5.5 rpg, just a shade under 2 blocks per game. He is rugged as hell playing in 253 out of 259 games over his career.
Insert passing over Granger for Sean May tirade HERE.
Enough of that, The Pacers are 6-8 and coming off of a 1 point win against the Rockets. Granger has been ripping it up, but looking at the rest of their roster there isn't much to be concerned about. Marquis Daniels is their 2nd leading scorer :confused::confused::confused:. TJ Ford is giving the Pacers 14.8ppg and 5.2 apg, decent but certainly nothing to write home about and definitely not something that we should have given up Gerald Wallace for when those discussions were happening around the draft this past summer. Another player of interest on their roster is Roy Hibbert, The word is that Big Roy was really the player that the Bobcats had their sights on at #20 in this past draft instead of Alexis Ajinca. He is only getting about 10 minutes per game but I'm looking forward to see what he does in the game tonight. I was a big Hibbert Proponent.
So whats the deal guys? Do we get win #5 tonight?

"Great product
" by Mrs Bostock
I found this kit easy to use and it gives fantastic results, but remember to put one spoon of icing into compartment A, then one spoon of icing in compartment B, then one spoon into compartment A, etc. The first time I used these I filled up one side with icing, and could hardly get any in the other side; most of my cakes were one colour and only a few were dual-coloured! They were still well received, though.
"Great little gadget
" by Nessa
I bought this a few weeks ago and have only managed to find the time to use it once. I think I need a second pair of hands to hold the bag while I fill it [lol], but loved the results. They weren't as good as the picture on the website here, but for a first attempt I was pretty chuffed with myself, particularly as I'm not that great at decorating anyway. I'm looking forward to having another go when I get the chance. I have tried once before to do 2 coloured icing by putting 2 different coloured icings in the same bag but the results weren't as good as this idea. Thanks Lakeland!!
"Fantastic icing kit
" by Judith Hadley
This kit is fantastic opening all sorts of options for the discerning icer. I have used it to ice both small and large cakes to good effect. Just remember to ensure that both icings are of the same consisitency.

- My Bags
- The Camera
- Accessories
- Other Canon gear I've used and recommend
- Recommended Gear for different situations
When I got back into photography back in 2001, it was with an early generation Canon Elph pocket camera. All I was planning on doing was playing with it on vacation, but I caught the bug. When I got serious about photography I found myself interest in bird photography, so I researched lenses and decided that the Canon 100-400 was the lens I should build my kit around. Because of that, I started building my camera kit around Canon gear, and it's still my primary gear for my bird photography. I'm quite happy with Canon gear, so I don't expect this to change any time soon.
That said, in the last year, I made a decision to shift my wide angle photography to the Fuji platform. Roughly speaking, if I'm shooting wider than 70mm I'm shooting Fuji, and if I'm shooting telephoto beyond, I'm shooting Canon. Landscapes, Street Photography, the general carry-around and what little Macro work I do is now done by my Mirrorless camera (You can see my Fuji Kit here), while my bird and critter photography is the mainstay of my Canon gear.
I've found this shift did a lot of things for me. It forced me to take a very serious look at what I was carrying and ask hard questions about why I was carrying it. Here's what my bag looked like a year ago:
That bag weighed almost over 25 pounds, and while it covered all my needs, it was a bear to haul around.
Today the bag is a lot lighter, a bit over 15 pounds (with the Fuji gear in it). That's a lot easier to convince myself to strap on and go out shooting…
What's in my bag
Notice how much emptier the bag looks! Some photographers might wince, but I think shifting from "what might I need?" to "What do I use?" is a great change of mindset for photographers. There is gear that I use occasionally or that covers a special purpose (such as recording audio); that lives in it's own bag now, but I can swap it in to this one when I need to — but I'm not hauling it around when I only pull it out once every six or seven trips.
The empty spot is where I stick my Fuji gear when I'm carrying both sets in this bag. normally, it lives in its own bag and I carry it independently, but when I want to haul everything at times as well. There's more than enough room for it in this bag, so I can have the best of both worlds: carry it all in this bag, or carry just the Fuji in it's small and light bag. There really is no reason to carry everything everywhere, something I think a lot of us forget…
My bags
This is the Think Tank Airport Accelerator Backpack. I've owned it about a year, and I've worked it pretty hard. It's not cheap ($300), but it's built like a rock, carries a massive amount of gear, and is comfortable on my back. I expect to be using this bag for many years and as long as I'm carrying large telephoto-type gear. If you're still a photographer hauling around heavy backs slung on a shoulder, you really should consider a backpack. It keeps the weight balanced and it's a lot easier on back and shoulders. They aren't just for hiking photographers.
This is the other bag I use for carrying my bigger gear, Think Tank Retrospective 30. I have stuffed a 70-200F2.8, 24-105, 180mm macro and two bodies into this and it held it all for a day in the field. Normally I don't carry that much gear in it, but it's a very useful bag for when you want to grab some of your gear and do something where hauling the backpack around is inappropriate or won't be allowed. Bonus points to the Retrospective lines for not screaming CAMERA BAG HERE to a casual viewer.
The Camera
The Canon 7D is the top of the line APS-sized sensor camera from Canon. This camera is what I'd call the "prosumer" body, in that it has most of the features you'll see on the more expensive full-frame pro-caliber bodies but the APS sensor keeps the price more reasonable. I like the APS sensor for bird photography because you can use the sensor magnification factor (1.6x on Canon gear) to get some boost out of your lenses and some money off the cost of the full-frame bodies. These days the cost isn't as significant (compare the price of the 7D to the Canon 6D) and the image quality lets you do the cropping in post-processing instead of with the sensor. This is a great body and it's taken a lot of use and abuse from me without a glitch, but it's at the end of it's life in the product line and is rumored to be on the list for an update in 2014. See below for my recommendations for camera bodies for someone looking to buy their gear today (hint: not the 7d).
My workhorse birding lens Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II combined with the Canon 2.0X III Telephoto Extender. This combo gives me the ability to cover from 70mm (at F2.8!) to 400mm at F5.6, using a single lens. If it a fairly expensive combination compared to the Canon 100-400, which I started my bird photography with, but the lens is sharper, with faster autofocus, and a really solid build quality. This is not a beginners lens (that's the 100-400), but unless you want to spend $11,000 for the new Canon 200-400 with the built in 1.4x extender, this is the best birding and critter lens for the Canon line, with no compromises. It's allowed me to shift to a single lens on a single body for everything in the telephoto range, and the image quality, sharpness and detail is such that it lets me shoot and crop without often wishing I had a 500mm or 600mm lens in my kit. I really, really love this lens setup and if you're serious about this kind of photography, this is the lens set to aspire to.
My camera strap is the Black Rapid Yeti, which allows me to add a second strap that will carry a mirrorless. I love the shoulder-sling style straps; much nicer on the neck on long photo days. As a two-camera setup, it's okay. Overall, I like this but don't love it, and I'm still looking for a strap setup I love for two cameras. Also note that BlackRapid has been aggressive at challenging competitors with their patents and this makes me really uncomfortable buying any of their products in the future, so once I find something I like, I'll be retiring this — I just haven't found the right strap yet.
To keep the sensor clean, I carry the Giottos Rocket Air Blaster, also useful for blowing dust and dirt off of the camera body or lens. I find too many photographers don't take sensor dust seriously and waste a lot of time removing dust spots in post-processing. A bit of care early on and I rarely have to deal with dust spots on my images, and since I catch the dust before it welds itself to the sensor, I rarely have to wet-clean the sensor as well. Also, don't forget to carry and use a good lens cloths. I currently use these microfiber cloths from Canon. They're dirt cheap, I buy a bunch of them at a time, keep at least one in each bag, in my car, on my desk, and anywhere else I might want to grab one, and throw them out after about 6 months and replace them, because they collect dirt and other 'stuff' you don't want rubbing on your lenses like the oils from your fingers. it's a cheap investment to replace them often. I also carry the Nikon Lens Pen as another tool in getting the gunk off the gear without scratching the lenses.
When your light is weird and you need to make sure you get the color rendition right, you can't trust your camera's white balance to figure it out. For that, I have the
X-Rite ColorChecker Passport. Take a shot of the Passport in the light you're working with and you have all of the information you need to set an appropriate white balance and adjust your colors to match what you saw.
Memory cards. Can you ever have too many? (actually, probably, but that doesn't stop me). My current standard is the Transcend 32 GB Compact Flash Card, which I've found to be reliable and a good value. I carry them in the Think Tank Pixel Pocket Rocket so they get some protection and they don't get misplaced. It also holds my business cards, so they're always handy.
While battery life has improved massively since the early days of digital cameras, I still try to carry spares, if only because on the road it means I don't have to be quite so paranoid about recharging everything in the hotel room after a long day on a multi-day shoot. Of course, the more you start doing timelapses and video and night shooting and other long exposure work, the more you're going to eat up your batteries, so this is another accessory where "can you have too many?" seems to apply. I currently carry two spares as well as the one in the camera, and I use the Canon LP-E6 Battery not a third party. I keep them in a Think Tank Battery Holder
There are some photographers that will tell you that you don't need to carry filters any more, and that you can do everything in post-processing. They are wrong. Some things can't be emulated, although it's gotten to be a rather short list. I still carry two filters, the Tiffen Variable ND Filter and the B+W Circular Polarizer. I store them in the Tiffen Filter Pouch to protect them from mayhem. The ND filter is useful for creating long-exposures, especially when you are trying to smooth and blur water. I've switched to a Vari-ND in the last few months rather than carry a set of different strengths, and so far, I have no complaints. The Polarizer is still very useful for darkening skies, but you can also use it to reduce and remove glare from shiny objects, including streams and lakes.
A few things you may not think to pack. When you're out in the field early in the morning or late into the evening, it can chill fast, even if it was a warm day. Even as someone who's not too sensitive to cold, I've found as I've gotten older that my fingers notice it a lot more than they used to. I've learned, the hard way, to carry a winter cap to warm my head and ears, and a pair of gloves. I discovered Grabber Hand Warmers a few years back and love them; activate a couple and put them in your jacket pockets, and you can go a long way towards making those early mornings less dismal. Also, don't forget your DEET. Many of the refuges I visit during the winter are well-populated with small flying things that are interested in having you over for lunch. I use Tender Ben's Deet Wipes which are packaged like moist-wipes, so they're easily carried, take up very little space and available on very short notice, and I've found them to be effective, even in rather intense mosquito attacks. Don't forget to DEET your bald spot if you have one. Just saying.
Don't forget your Leatherman. I have a few of these stored in places like my main bag, the car, etc, because they are both useful in many situations, and because when you need one, you don't want it to be in the other bag at the trailhead….
Don't forget your remote shutter. I primarily use the Canon RS-80N3 Remote, but I also use Triggertrap system and the Phottix Aion Wireless depending on the situation.
Finally, a couple of minor things that can really make a difference. There are very few photographers that can get a level horizon without help, and I'm one of them. One of the tools I use to try to solve that persistant 3 degree slant is the
Opteka Hot Shoe Level. It may seem like a silly accessory to buy, until you come home with a stack of landscape shots and need to manually level the horizon of each one. I also supported the Luxi Light Meter iPhone Attachment and now carry it in my bag. I don't use a light meter a lot any more, but when the lighting conditions are really tricky, it can mean the difference between getting it right and missing the shot, and I love having one that costs almost nothing, takes up almost no space, and hooks up to my phone when I need it. I really nice hack, well executed. I also keep an OP/TECH Rainsleeve in the bag; they're cheap, light, take up no space, and if you get hit by bad weather when you're away from shelter, it can save your gear. And I also carry a small Photoflex 12″ Reflector because expecially with macro work, sometimes natural light needs a bit of help. It's not something I use a lot, but once in a while, it's crucial to have, and it's light, cheap and very portable.
Other Canon gear I've used and recommend
If the price of the Canon 7d stretches your budget, you should consider the entry-level Rebel series bodies instead. The Canon Rebel T5i is the current version of that. I used the Canon T3i as my second body and it shot a lot of my landscapes and timelapses before I shifted to the Fuji. These are great cameras, the sensor is very close to the same as you'll get in the Canon 7d. The primary differences between them are a slower burst rate and being able to shoot fewer images before the camera buffers fill up and the burst stops, and that it's built for a less-intensive usage pattern. You can feel the difference in build quality between the two just by holding them, the Rebels are still quality built, but not built for the kind of constant and not-always-gentle use that a pro insists. They're a great value, though, especially for a new photographer on a budget.
The Canon 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS is the most common lens you'll see among amateur bird photographers for a reason. It's a good lens, and a great lens for a newer photographer. It's relatively inexpensive compared to other lenses for bird photography, and it turns out consistently good images. it's also flexible enough that you don't need to supplement it iwth other lenses to do most of your photography. If you're considering a lens for bird or wildlife photography, this is the one to start with.
When I decided I wanted to upgrade to a higher quality lens, I upgraded to this combo. The Canon 300mm f/4L IS and the Canon 1.4X III Telephoto Extender. This combo gives you the equivalent of a 420mm F5.6. I prefer it over Canon's own 400mm lens because it's autofocus is a bit faster, and you have the flexibility of removing the teleconverter. It's sharper than the 100-400, but less flexible, so you'll need to carry something like a 70-200 to cover the same range, but if you do, you'll find the image quality is somewhat better than the 100-400.
Before I upgraded my wide angle work to the Fuji, The Canon EF 24-105mm f/4 L IS was my wide angle lens and I used it for all of my street and landscape work, mostly attached to my Canon T3i. I really like this lens, it's sharp, it's got nice texture and contrast, and it's got good autofocus. On the other hand, I think the Fuji system gives me better color in landscapes, and my entire Fuji setup (body AND camera) weighs about the same as this lens. But if you're looking for a good wide-angle lens for the Canon system, this one is a great choice.
Recommended Gear for different situations
If you're looking at this article for advice on getting started in bird photography, I've gone into detail on my thoughts about how to create a good birding kit and I suggest you read that article.
If you're a new photographer trying to figure out what you want to buy, and you've decided to buy Canon gear, my suggestion is to buy the Canon Rebel T5i. I'm a big believer in investing in glass to keep and bodies to upgrade, so you're better off buying the less expensive camera body and putting more money into better lenses, so I'd suggest you think about a lens like the Canon 24-105 for wide angle work. If you're primary interest is in the telephoto range, the Canon 100-400 is almost always the lens I recommend, and the one you should start your search on. If cost and budget are a factor, while the Canon kit lenses are a lot less expensive, my experience with users is they run into their limitations fairly quickly and end up upgrading to better lenses soon (or get frustrated and stop taking pictures). You're better off considering some of the third party lenses from Sigma or Tamron as a way to get better lenses while saving money, but I don't currently have any specific recommendations for lenses by those manufacturers.
If you're becoming a more advanced photographer and you already own something like a Rebel body, and you're trying to decide whether or not to upgrade to a more expensive camera body, here's some general advice: First, if you're body is fairly recent (T3i or newer, Canon 50D or newer) then I'd investigate upgrading your lenses before upgrading your body, because the sensor and image quality improvements aren't that significant. There might be a specific reason to consider upgradings, such as improved video, ability to sustain a faster and longer burst rate, weather sealing, or something like that, but if better images are the primary reason to upgrade, better lenses is usually a better investment.
I do not currently recommend the Canon 7D. The rumors are pretty solid that it's going to get replaced with a new generation in 2014, and while it's still a workhorse, there are better values. The Canon 70D has an improved sensor, better autofocus, better video and otherwise has fairly similar capabilities as the 7D for a few hundred dollars less; it's hard to see any reason to buy a 7D instead of a 70D today, so if you're looking for a higher end APS canon body, buy the 70D.
And interesting question is full-frame vs. APS-Sensor, and the answer used to be "can you afford full-frame?" — if not, you bought an APS sensor body. But now, with cameras like the Canon 6D, the decision is a lot more difficult. If I were building out a Canon-based kit today and I were going to do any amount of street or landscape work with it, I would buy the Canon 6D instead of the Canon 7D or Canon 70D. If I were planning to work entirely in telephoto ranges (70mm or greater) then I might buy the Canon 70D or the Canon 6D, and more and more I'd be leaning towards the Canon 6D over the APS sensors. This is all going to change again in 2014 as Canon's new products are announced, and I'm going to be interested in seeing where the Canon 7DmII fits into the mix.
For now, though, the three camera bodies I recommend from Canon are the Canon 6D if you're primarily a wide-angle oriented photographer, Canon 70D if you're a big-glass, bird/critter photographer, and the Canon T5i if you're budget sensitive.
If you have thoughts and feedback on all of this, or if you have unanswered questions, feel free to drop me a line. I'll be happy to talk to you about your needs and offer what suggestions I can.

We're talking about children. 741 children. Let's be frank about this situation and call these deaths what they are: unnecessary, preventable, and shameful. To say that no child in a potentially dangerous situation of which our government is aware should ever come to harm is probably unfair. Borrowing a glib, but perhaps apt saying, "things happen." We cannot control the outcomes of every situation of which we're aware.
In December, our union will be releasing the second issue of our magazine, Your Voice. In that issue will be an article providing a month-by-month account of the Redford government's ten biggest bullying moments in 2013.
Goods don't flow in only one direction. It turns out that a great deal of British Columbia's trade revenues come from the delivery of goods and services to provinces east of Alberta -- and one assumes most of those exports went through Alberta by truck and train.
In addition to the Keystone XL which would increase total capacity of the pipeline to 1.1 million barrels of diluted bitumen per day, Enbridge filed plans to Monday to build the $2.6B Sandpiper pipeline project across northern Minnesota. If approved, the project will move 225,000 barrels per day of unconventional oil to Minnesota, and 375,000 barrels to Wisconsin.
On the eve of her first Tory leadership review, Premier Alison Redford is watching the centre-left coalition she stitched together to win the 2012 provincial election come apart at the seams. Voters are rapidly losing faith in Redford. A recent poll for the Calgary Herald shows that among people who voted Tory in 2012, nearly 46 per cent want a new leadership contest.
When looking at the actions of the Alberta government I feel a deep embarrassment. This is not my government. And as they continue to relentlessly and consistently bully and attack those for whom they were elected to work, I am confident in saying that they do not represent the majority of Albertans.
The 4th Annual Tar Sands Healing Walk taking place in Fort McMurray, Alberta this July 5-6, is an important opportunity for Canadians, and people from all over the world, to get a sense of the land at the heart of the largest unsustainable development project on the planet. Now it's time for Minister Oliver and Premier Redford to recognize their own responsibility, and meet some the people most directly impacted by the decisions made in Ottawa and Edmonton. It is time for them to get out of their cars and walk like regular folks through an area they aren't shy about selling on a global stage.
We are stoking the heat ourselves, with the colossal pressure and encouragement of all the corporations that make billions in return for our dependency on fossil fuel, funneling a pittance in revenue to our governments, all the while decaying our democracy. Dumbing down its citizens with the toys offered in return.
Alberta Premier Alison Redford has hit a new low. What's next, kicking puppies?
What sort of society do we want to live in? That's the fundamental question Albertans should ask ourselves after the Redford government's cutbacks to post-secondary education resulted in Mount Royal University cutting several diploma programs, one third of nursing spots, an engineering transfer program, disability studies and performing arts programs.
A National Post article explains that various energy initiatives, such as a plan to convert one of TransCanada's existing natural gas pipelines into an oil pipeline from west to east, came about through discussions with only the relevant parties, which enabled greater cooperation.
The planned closure of the Michener Centre in Red Deer has led to the most rare of sights; all three Provincial opposition parties, Wildrose, Liberal and NDP, agreeing that closing Michener is wrong. As a representative of the Alberta Party I'll add our name to that list.
The climate and energy challenge is frequently portrayed as a world of absolutes. We are either doomed, or salvation is just around the corner. We have either missed the narrow window to forestall disaster, or are told it is premature to act in the face of persistent uncertainties.
]Carbon taxes harm the poor more than the better off. A 2008 analysis of a $30.00/tonne carbon tax conducted by CUPE suggested that the poorest quintile in Canada would lose 1.7 per cent of household income, while the top quintile would lose only 0.86 per cent.
The Redford government gave Shell, $745 million back in 2012 to build the Quest CCS plant outside Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta. At a time when our budget is operating under a deficit, the Premier is spending our taxpayer money to prop up billion-dollar corporations. That is what we call old fashion crony capitalism.
With all the gloom-and-doom swirling around Edmonton this week, an outside observer might conclude a state funeral was in the works instead of an annual budget presentation. Yet while Premier Redford undeniably has tough decisions to make, there are promising signals that she is looking beyond bubbles and examining a range of more enduring solutions to the province's challenges.

pH-dependent absorption in the B and Q bands of oxyhemoglobin and chemically modified oxyhemoglobin (BME) at low Cl- concentrations Biophysical Journal, Volume 49, Issue 5, 1 May 1986, Pages 1069-1076 U. Brunzel, W. Dreybrodt and R. Schweitzer-Stenner Abstract We have measured the optical absorbance in the maxima of the Q and B bands for oxyhemoglobin and oxyhemoglobin (BME) in dependence on the pH value of the solution in the region between pH 4.4 and pH 10. From the absorbance data optical titration curves are derived for both bands. These yield for oxyhemoglobin pK values 4.3, 5.3, 6.8, 7.8, and 9.0, whereas for oxyhemoglobin (BME) only one pK value at 4.3 is observed. These data are in good agreement to those derived recently from resonance Raman spectroscopy. The changes of the oscillator strengths in the Q bands are interpreted in terms of Gouterman's four-orbital model to arise from A1g-distortions of the heme group, resulting from changes of the heme-apoprotein interactions due to protonation processes of amino acid-side groups in the beta-chains. The difference between the sets of pK values in oxyhemoglobin and oxyhemoglobin BME is explained from the fact that the bifunctional reagent BME blocks important pathways of heme-apoprotein interactions. The fact that in any case increase of the Q band absorbance is accompanied by a corresponding increase in the B band absorbance leads us to the conclusion that the electronic structure of the B bands has to be described in terms of a six-orbital model, taking into account configurational interaction with the L and N bands.

An Ion Gating Mechanism of Gastric H,K-ATPase Based on Molecular Dynamics Simulations Biophysical Journal, Volume 95, Issue 6, 15 September 2008, Pages 2739-2749 Richard J. Law, Keith Munson, George Sachs and Felice C. Lightstone Abstract Gastric H,K-ATPase is an electroneutral transmembrane pump that moves protons from the cytoplasm of the parietal cell into the gastric lumen in exchange for potassium ions. The mechanism of transport against the established electrochemical gradients includes intermediate conformations in which the transferred ions are trapped (occluded) within the membrane domain of the pump. The pump cycle involves switching between the E1 and E2P states. Molecular dynamics simulations on homology models of the E2P and E1 states were performed to investigate the mechanism of K+ movement in this enzyme. We performed separate E2P simulations with one K+ in the luminal channel, one K+ ion in the occlusion site, two K+ ions in the occlusion site, and targeted molecular dynamics from E2P to E1 with two K+ ions in the occlusion site. The models were inserted into a lipid bilayer system and were stable over the time course of the simulations, and K+ ions in the channel moved to a consistent location near the center of the membrane domain, thus defining the occlusion site. The backbone carbonyl oxygen from residues 337 through 342 on the nonhelical turn of M4, as well as side-chain oxygen from E343, E795, and E820, participated in the ion occlusion. A single water molecule was stably bound between the two K+ ions in the occlusion site, providing an additional ligand and partial shielding the positive charges from one another. Targeted molecular dynamics was used to transform the protein from the E2P to the E1 state (two K+ ions to the cytoplasm). This simulation identified the separation of the water column in the entry channel as the likely gating mechanism on the luminal side. A hydrated exit channel also formed on the cytoplasmic side of the occlusion site during this simulation. Hence, water molecules became available to hydrate the ions. The movement of the M1M2 transmembrane segments, and the displacement of residues Q159, E160, Q110, and T152 during the conformational change, as well as the motions of E343 and L346, acted as the cytoplasmic-side gate.

Subpicosecond resonance Raman spectroscopy of carbonmonoxy- and oxyhemoglobin Biophysical Journal, Volume 58, Issue 4, 1 October 1990, Pages 931-937 R. van den Berg and M.A. el-Sayed Abstract In this paper we present the resonance Raman spectrum of the carbonmonoxy- (HbCO) and oxyhemoglobin (HbO2) photointermediates on a 800–900 fs timescale. In the case of HbCO, the frequencies of the so-called core-size markers (1500–1650 cm-1) are characteristic of a deoxylike photoproduct in a high spin state (S = 2) with a partially domed heme. The spectrum of the HbO2 photointermediate, on the other hand, is different, and may be characteristic of an excited-state species. These results are discussed in terms of a reaction scheme previously presented by Petrich, J. W., C. Poyart, and J. L. Martin (1988. Biochemistry. 27:4049–4060) and compared with those obtained in the literature on a 30–40 ps timescale. In both molecules a distinct downshift of the v4 mode was observed with respect to the equilibrium value, which is indicative of an elevated temperature of the heme after photodissociation.

We employ a clinical multiphoton microscope to monitor in vivo and noninvasively the changes in reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) fluorescence of human epidermal cells during arterial occlusion. We correlate these results with measurements of tissue oxy- and deoxyhemoglobin concentration during oxygen deprivation using spatial frequency domain imaging. During arterial occlusion, a decrease in oxyhemoglobin corresponds to an increase in NADH fluorescence in the basal epidermal cells, implying a reduction in basal cell oxidative phosphorylation. The ischemia-induced oxygen deprivation is associated with a strong increase in NADH fluorescence of keratinocytes in layers close to the stratum basale, whereas keratinocytes from epidermal layers closer to the skin surface are not affected. Spatial frequency domain imaging optical property measurements, combined with a multilayer Monte Carlo-based radiative transport model of multiphoton microscopy signal collection in skin, establish that localized tissue optical property changes during occlusion do not impact the observed NADH signal increase. This outcome supports the hypothesis that the vascular contribution to the basal layer oxygen supply is significant and these cells engage in oxidative metabolism. Keratinocytes in the more superficial stratum granulosum are either supplied by atmospheric oxygen or are functionally anaerobic. Based on combined hemodynamic and two-photon excited fluorescence data, the oxygen consumption rate in the stratum basale is estimated to be ∼0.035 μmoles/106 cells/h.

Recipe by akatenacious3
"This is rice with a kick. It is best served with Cajun chicken or another Cajun dish. You will love how this complements your main dish; however, because this rice contains some meat, it can be eaten alone. Enjoy!"
Watch video tips and tricks
1 1/2 cups water
2/3 cup uncooked brown rice
1/2 pound ground turkey
1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
1/3 cup chopped onion
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried celery flakes
1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/3 cup water
1 pinch salt, or to taste
This was pretty good. I ended up doubling the cajun seasoning and adding 1/2 teaspoon of salt because it seemed bland.
Way too bland when we followed the recipe (without meat for side dish). Added more seasonings and about 6-7 ounces tomato sauce for double recipe, gave it flavor w/o just tasting hot, like adding hot sauce etc.

Good basic recipe but the seasonings definitely need to be altered if you prefer kick in your dinner. I practically tripled the Cajun seasoning and added the following: 1/2 t. gumbo file, Louisiana hot sauce to taste(~1T.) and red chili flakes to taste (~1/2t.). I omitted the celery salt (didn't have any on hand) and subbed in yellow and red bell peppers for the green and ground beef for the turkey. I also added a chopped tomato just to use up some produce. I can't wait to eat this tomorrow after the spices have really sunk in - mmm!
I made this for my granddaughter. She thought it was very good!
I sauteed chicken livers in some butter...then added the veggies - I used chopped celery instead of the flakes. I ended up adding a bit of cayenne pepper...and it really turned out awesome!!
I liked this, it created a perfect base to add whatever other seasonings and spices desired. Instead of the celery flakes, I put two stalks of celery in the food processor and chopped them very fine. I also used an entire onion and entire green bell pepper. I added salt, extra cajun seasoning, red pepper flakes, and a little cayenne. It tasted a lot like Zatarains.
Yummy side for our Fat Tuesday work party. Our group liked that it was something different than the standard red beans and rice, and that it was something the South Beach dieters could enjoy as well. Added a small dab (probably an 1/8 cup) of leftover Chorizo I had in the fridge, it added a nice color and hint of spice.
Served this alongside Blackened Salmon Po' Boys found on another site. I omitted the turkey and took the advice of other reviewers and doubled the cajun seasoning, but I thought it was just a bit too much. 1 1/2 tsp would probably be just about right for my tastes. But then again, I'm not Cajun ;p Also, be sure to use a good brand of Cajun seasoning. Generic won't cut it here. Anyway, my family LOVED it, and it disappeared almost as soon as it was on the table.

Background: Burundi's first democratically elected president was assassinated in October 1993 after only one hundred days in office. Since then, some 200,000 Burundians have perished in widespread, often intense ethnic violence between Hutu and Tutsi factions. Hundreds of thousands have been internally displaced or have become refugees in neighboring countries. Burundi troops, seeking to secure their borders, briefly intervened in the conflict in the Democratic Republic of the Congo in 1998. A new transitional government, inaugurated on 1 November 2001, signed a power-sharing agreement with the largest rebel faction in December 2003 and set in place a provisional constitution in October 2004. Implementation of the agreement has been problematic, however, as one remaining rebel group refuses to sign on and elections have been repeatedly delayed, clouding prospects for a sustainable peace.

Mahogany almost reddish hue. Minimal head.
Malt. some roastiness, a little bit of grassy hops.
Predominantly malts. Some bittering towards the end. Toasted bread malts. Little bit of nuts.
Eh, decent brown, but not really anything overly exciting.

12oz bottle
A) Pours with a thin head that settles quickly. Brown-mahogany colored body. Clear body. Thin, semi-sticky lacing on the drink down.
S) Subtle caramel notes but not very aromatic.
T) Malty sweetness. Caramel. Hints of nuts. Subtle hops in the finish.
M) Medium-light body. Slight tannin in the finish.
O) An ok brew. With a name like "mudslinger" one would think the girth would be more and the flavor profile would be more pronounced.

4/5 rDev +17.6%
look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4
Bottled on Dec 02, 2013.
Into a pint glass.
A: somewhat clear red slightly brown colored body with a one finger white foamy head that lasts for a good two minutes before slowly dieing and leaving a decent looking foamy ring circling the top of the glass. There is a nice little spider web lacing that trickles around the glass
S: sweet and nutty malty caramel-ness that comes across in a pleasant "Wintery" sort of way.
T: mainly sweet and gives off a decent nuttiness; in the aftertaste there's a decent combination of sweet to nutty to leave a decent finish that ends up coming across somewhat dry
M: this one sits about a light to medium on the body to end up coming across fairly sessionable, carbonation is extremely smooth and adds a slight creaminess to it
O: hey Redhook good job with this, I would have this again

look: 3.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.75
Color is a little light, more red than brown. Good carbonation. Head dissipates quickly.
Smell of sweet malt
Malty, nutty with a bit of sweetness.
Mouthfeel is medium, not watery and not syrupy.
Not a great brown ale, but good enough for a cold winter night.
Once again RedHook puts out a brew that is drinkable but not special.

A: Served a dark mahogany color with a nice head that fades to nice lacing.
S: Aroma of malt, caramel sweetness and bit of chocolate.
T: Taste of roasted malt, caramel sweetness, some nut and bit of chocolate. Mild bitterness and a finish the is quite dry.

[We first published this article three years ago, but with the recent rumblings of a cameo by a certain superhero in The Avengers, we thought it might be a good time to bring this to your attention once again. - Editor]
With X-Men Origins: Wolverine a little under three weeks from release, we here at Screen Rant thought an overview of all Marvel properties (and possibilities) might be in order. Though the new independent studio is now producing their own films, solely distributed by Paramount Pictures, there are a number of iconic characters still residing at Hollywood's other major studios.
Now that the film division of Marvel Entertainment exists, we've seen questions around the inter-webs about certain properties and copyrights concerning top-tier Marvel characters. Many readers have been calling for Wolverine to cameo in the expected 2012 film Avengers, but there's a little problem with that potential geekgasm.
With 20th Century FOX co-producing the Wolvie flick, getting the character to play nice on a self-produced Marvel film is going to be rather difficult. In legal speak, Fox owns a piece of the X-Men film franchise; they have the "rights" to produce any character that frequently appears in the X-Men Universe, projects like X-Men: First Class and X-Men Origins: Magneto insure Fox will be milking that property for everything it's possibly worth. Ultimately, any mutants like Bishop, Cable, Emma Frost, Juggernaut, Havoc, Psylocke, or Quicksilver would likely appear through a Fox-funded lens.
At one point, the character Deadpool, was at New Line Cinema (along with a story by Blade Trilogy screenwriter David Goyer). The trail for a "Merc with a Mouth" solo project went cold during production of Blade: Trinity. With the rights now at Fox, there may be new life or even a Cable/Deadpool project at some point. So it isn't all bad news, that is of course unless you think Fox makes bad comic book movies. *hint hint, nudge nudge*
But that isn't all – Fox's studio also has dibs on anything Daredevil, Fantastic Four and Silver Surfer. [For the heavy comic book readers, that means a Civil War movie is likely out of the question. Probably any "Marvel Event" is out of the question.] It's been some time, but the wounds haven't healed from the public's viewing of Daredevil and Elektra. A Daredevil reboot (with Jason Statham expressing interest in becoming "The Man Without Fear") was in the pipeline some time ago but recently the project's been quiet. Due to outdated contracts and loopholes, Marvel has their top tier characters at Columbia Pictures, Lions Gate Entertainment, New Line Cinema and the aforementioned, Fox.
We've seen the flipping images of Marvel's title sequence for a number of years now. Co-productions between the indie studio and majors began in 1998; now Blade, Ghost Rider, Man-Thing, Punisher and Spider-Man are subsequently licensed elsewhere. Thus, creative control is out of hands of its comic book roots.
The first character was Blade, at New Line Cinema. After three pictures and some legal troubles between Daywalker-actor Wesley Snipes and the studio, it looks like that film run is over. Whispers of Blade IV, or a spin-off involving the Nightstalkers, were circulating some months ago but nothing concrete has surfaced. The Spike TV series was canceled due to a number of unconfirmed reasons so the Blade property, at this point, is pretty dead – but that doesn't really stop vampires.
As an interesting tidbit (which will be elaborated upon shortly) during an alternate ending of the first Blade, a shadowy figure on a distant rooftop wrapped in rags has said to be the Marvel's resident vampire Morbius.
Columbia Pictures (Sony Pictures) is in control of two properties, all things Spider-Man and Ghost Rider. Last appearances of both characters was in 2007, which can explain the seemingly random development updates for a Venom solo project, Spider-Man 4 and Ghost Rider 2. If Columbia has any interest, they can take Black Cat or Carnage and introduce them in the next film; the same applies to Blackheart, Abigor, Wallow and Gressil. As a general rule, any time a studio introduces a comic book character, they have the rights to produce a spin-off or include that character in a sequel of some fashion.
So Morbius, who Spider-Man director Sam Raimi has said to be interested in interpreting, may have some problems if the character isn't cleared with New Line Cinema.
If Columbia Pictures wanted to be a little ballsy, they could go after the entire Blade package and shoot Midnight Sons–the fictional team of Ghost Rider, Johnny Blaze, Blade, Hannibal King, Morbius and Doctor Strange. Wait… then again, should another studio (that's not Marvel) be in charge of a project like that? Never mind.
Marvel also has regained the rights to Luke Cage from Sony Pictures, so the possibility of a Heroes for Hire movie with him and Iron Fist is not out of the question. Universal has the rights to Namor, but they may be willing to let it revert back to Marvel in exchange for distribution rights.
And the final studio that's exercised Marvel film property, responsible for 2005′s Man-Thing and last year's Punisher: War Zone, is Lionsgate Entertainment. After a quiet release, there's been little movement with nature's monstrous creature. There are few characters independently introduced through the Man-Thing comics, so there isn't much to do in terms of a spin-off. Elsewhere, Frank Castle may be up against Barracuda in a possible sequel but no official release has been issued by the imprint. The lackluster reception, being the lowest grossing film based on a Marvel Comic property will do that to ya, gives high hopes that the project will be moved elsewhere. Keep in mind the project was just last year, so if you had hopes of Wolverine and Punisher sorting out their differences on the big screen-like yours truly-it'll be some time.
The initial financing deal, for Marvel Entertainment, Inc., consists of $525 million for the possible production of 10 films, based on its comic book properties, over the next seven years. The debt facility will fund initial development, including scripts for each production, and they maintain sole "green light" control. Understandably there are some restrictions to taking a loan, Marvel cannot withdraw profits until after the release of the third film and only if certain financial parameters are met. The original properties for those 10 films, announced in the press release, were Captain America, Nick Fury, The Avengers, Black Panther, Ant-Man, Cloak & Dagger, Dr. Strange, Hawkeye, Power Pack and Shang-Chi. In the original press release, the budget's ceiling is at $165 million and can have a "rating no more restrictive than PG-13." The explanation of why Marvel had been doing everything on the cheap was apparent from its initial deal.
Looking forward, Marvel can regain their characters but it'll be nothing short of jumping through a ring of fire. The studio can shell out truckloads of cash to buy them back or wait for box office numbers to be so bad the studio that owns them doesn't have any interest in following them up, ie. Ang Lee's Hulk (thanks, Universal!). Not meeting a deadline for filming the property is the easiest way – most of the contracts have a clause that allows the rights to revert back to Marvel if principle photography doesn't begin by a certain date after the initial release or if they make an upfront payment as if they were going to start principal photography. This, in part, is the reason we see studios releasing films in rapid succession.
Here's a breakdown of the whole thing in list form (any characters/franchises not listed are under the rights of Marvel Studios):
- Daredevil: Daredevil/Matt Murdock, Elektra (Natchios), The Kingpin/Wilson Fisk, Bullseye, Jack Murdock, Karen Page, Ben Urich
- Elektra: Christine Cord/Tatoo, Typhoid Mary/Marry Alice Walker, Kirigi, Stick, Stone
- Fantastic Four: Doctor Doom/Victor von Doom, Human Torch/Johnny Storm, Invisible Woman/Susan Storm, Mr. Fantastic/Dr. Reed Richards, The Thing/Ben Grimm, Nova/Frankie Raye, Alicia Masters, Willie Lumpkin
- X-Men Mutants: [Agent Zero/Maverick/David North], Angel/Warren Worthington III, Arclight/Phillippa Sontag, Beast/Dr. Henry Phillip "Hank" McCoy, [Blob/Frederick J. Dukes], [Bolt/Christopher Bradley], Callisto, Colossus/Piotr Nikolaievitch Rasputin, Cyclops/Scott Summers, [Deadpool/Wade Wilson], Emma (Grace) Frost, Jean Grey/Phoenix, Juggernaut/Cain Marko, Gambit/Remy LeBeau, Glob Herman/Herman Gardner, Iceman/Bobby Drake, Jubilee/Jubilation Lee, Katherine "Kitty" Anne Pryde, [Kestrel/John Wraith], Lady Deathstrike/Yuriko Oyama, Leech, Magneto/Erik Magnus Lehnsherr, Mastermind/Jason (Wyngarde), Multiple Man/James Arthur Madrox, Mystique/Raven Darkholme, Nightcrawler/Kurt Wagner, Phat/William Robert "Billy-Bob" Reilly, Professor Charles Xavier, Psylocke/Elizabeth "Betsy" Braddock, Pyro/St. John Allerdyce, Quill/Max Jordan, Rogue/(Anna) Marie, Sabretooth/Victor Creed, Sebastian Hiram Shaw, [Silver Fox], Siryn/Theresa Rourke Cassidy, (The) Spike, Storm/Ororo Munroe, Wolverine/Logan
- X-Men Non-Mutants: Drake Family (Steven, Madeline, Ronny), Grey Family (Dr. John, Elaine), Henry Peter Gyrich, Robert Edward Kelly, Dr. Moira Kinross MacTaggert, Dr. Kavita Rao, William Stryker, Bolivar Trask, Warren Worthington II
- Vampires: Blade, Deacon Frost, Dracula/Vlad Tepes
- Non-Vampires: Hannibal King, Abraham Whistler [UPDATE: Since the time of writing this, The Blade rights have been transferred back into Marvel's hands.]
- Ghost Rider: Ghost Rider/Johnny Blaze, Blackheart/Legion, Phantom Rider/Carter Slade, Abigor, Gressil, Mephistopheles, Wallow, Barton Blaze, Roxanne Simpson
- Spider-Man: Spider-Man/Peter Parker, Doctor Octopus/Otto Octavius, Green Goblin/Norman Osborn, (New) Green Goblin/Harry Osborn, [The Lizard]/Dr. Curt Connors, Sandman/Flint Marko, Venom/Eddie Brock Jr., Betty Brant, Dennis Carradine (Buglar), J. Jonah Jameson, Ben Parker, May Parker, John Jameson, Joseph "Robbie" Robertson, Gwen Stacy, Mendel Stromm, Flash Thompson
- Punisher: The Punisher/Frank Castle, Jigsaw/Billy Russoti, Microchip/Linus Liberman, Joan the Mouse, Maginty, Mr. Bumpo, Spacker Dave, The Russian, Maria Elizabeth Castle, Detective Martin Soap [UPDATE: Since the time of writing this, The Punisher rights have been transferred back into Marvel's hands.]
The possibility of Marvel having complete control of their character properties, like its comic rival DC, is a matter of time.

Review of the 2003 Volkswagen Passat
This is our favorite midsize car -- in both sedan and wagon form. Don't make your vehicle choice without driving one.
- Safety
Fun to drive, excellent value in GL or GLS trim, roomy interior with upscale feel, outstanding build and materials quality, available all-wheel drive.
Expensive upper-level models, can't get AWD on GLS, less rear-seat room than Camry or Altima, some confusing interior controls.

Full 2003 Volkswagen Passat Review
What's New for 2003
For 2003, a base GL sedan and wagon are available. Think of the GL as a GLS 1.8T for buyers who don't require any extras like alloy wheels, leather upholstery, seat heaters or a sunroof. Meanwhile, alloy wheels and sunroof are now standard on GLS models. The 4Motion all-wheel-drive system will not be offered on GLS V6 models, forcing interested buyers to cross the 30-grand line; however, VW has made stability control (ESP) optional on all Passats (except the W8, which has this standard). Also this year, you'll be able to get W8 sedans and wagons with a six-speed manual transmission and a sport package that includes a firmer suspension and the requisite 17-inch wheels. Lastly, the standard stereo head unit gets backlighting for the buttons.

Ridge traverse was really nice and easy. Perfect weather the whole time. We spent about 30 minutes on the summit of Sunshine before heading down. A couple of us took the 'Do Not Descend' route from the saddle instead of going back to Redcloud. My advice....go back to Redcloud. The route down is doable but certainly loose and dangerous. If you aren't experienced on dirt, scree, and loose rock don't even attempt it. In a large party it would certainly be easy to take a fall or get hit by rockfall. | ||

What an amazing day! We saw some really beautiful flowers and met some nice people. The ridge traverse was really great. A mere hour (each way)! I didn't mind a bit! Often when we do combos, I stand at the top of the first mountain and think, "maybe we should just do that one some other day..." Today, however, I thought, "WOW! That looks close! No problem!" and I was right! I just really had an enjoyable day today. We had a GREAT camping spot the night before at the trailhead and I slept like a log...that probably helped! | ||

We left Redcloud under beautiful skies. The hike over to Sunshine took 1:10. It was a little more of a commitment than it had looked from a top of Redcloud. It was a pretty nice trail over to Sunshine and we finally made it to the top. | ||

Ratballs | Route Climbed: From Silver Creek trailhead over Redcloud Date Climbed: May 25, 2003 | |
Climbed this one last year on a stormy morning, last May. The climb itself was no more than a hike with post-holing, save for the last few, snowy feet up to Sunshine's summit, but I was gob-smacked by the obliviousness of the other people on the mountain to the threatening weather. I'm always surprised that more people don't get killed by the weather in Colorado. I have a trip-report (long, as always) here. | ||

WTS - Mauser 98 Parts, 9.3x66 Dies and Tooling
A couple of years ago, I had to have a 9.3x66 Sako/370 Sako Mag. Began picking up stuff for the build and, for the most part, had things ready to go. However, last year I had the chance to participate in a Group Buy for Zastava Mauser 98's and ordered a 9.3x62. This rifle effectively made the Sako project irrelevant and redundant. As such, I am no longer in need of many of the parts I had acquired.
Anyway, here's what I have available:
NIB, NECG Trigger w/o Safety, Steel body, blued - $100, shipped. (This trigger is made by Recknagel.)
NIB, Dakota Arms 3-pos. Safety, CM, in-the-white - $125, shipped.
New, Zastava/Charles Daly-style Bottom Metal/NIB Talley Large Ring Mauser 98 Bases, both blued - $100/set, shipped. (I replaced the bottom metal on the 9.3x62. This is the unit that the rifle came with, from the factory. It has the floor-plate release button on the front of the trigger guard.) This is the Bottom Metal ONLY. It does NOT include a spring or follower. SET ONLY, WILL NOT SEPERATE.
New, PTG 9.3x66 Chamber Reamer (Finisher) and Head-Space Gauges (Go, No-Go) - $150/set, shipped. These are new and unused. The reamer is a live/removable pilot, HSS. SET ONLY, WILL NOT SEPERATE.
New, RCBS 9.3x66 Sako FL 2-Die Set - $100, shipped.
Will sell all of the above items as a package for $450, shipped.
"Will take it" responses trump PM's. Certified funds (MO's, bank checks) are preferred but will be flexible with forms of payment.
Thanks for looking.

i just want a reincarnation fic where merlin takes arthur to a renaissance fair or a medieval reenactment where he gets to put on chainmail again and feel like almost everything is normal again :3
Or just go with Sam and Dean to Charlie in 8x11. That would be one hell of a crossover.

"Luckily with our show it's not a massive, massive show, where everyone knows who you are but they're not really sure why…People who watch supernatural and know the show and their fan's of your work, so it's always really flattering adult conversation…And it's nice and it's flattering and it feels like an adult project not like "Hey I'm here to take my clothes off and hopefully people will watch" so, it's nice."

okay so obviously cas can walk into buildings without blowing the lights out like he does it all the time

he was like "GO BIG OR GO HOME BITCHES I'M A DIVA"
