Though their photography and videography has appeared in Sports Illustrated and on CNN, husband-and-wife duo Preston and Holly didn't develop their skills overnight. Before the advent of digital photography, Preston labored in an old-fashioned darkroom, mastering the ins and outs of his craft, while Holly filmed sporting events at Cypress Ridge High School. As time clicked by one frame at a time, the duo built their skills and their vision, eventually laying the foundation of Injoy Media Productions.
Today, Preston and Holly lead four trained shutterbugs who capture the personalities of families, children, and seniors in their natural habitats—whether that be in a backyard or an aluminum-foil castle. The photographers' specialty, however, remains weddings, and to capture couples' vows and ceremonies they travel across the state and oceans. Snapping their shutters for upward of four hours, camera-wielders preserve memories with prints as large as 16"x20" and commemorative items such as press-printed albums. Meanwhile, two videographers film the proceedings for up to 10 hours before splicing footage into a highlight reel and an edited movie set to music or a choir of sobbing in-laws. To further enliven receptions or other events, Injoy Media Productions rents out photo booths accompanied by trunks of props, unlimited 4"x6" prints, and scrapbooks made onsite.
One A'Chord creates sweet sounds through instrument and voice lessons. Its instructors help students achieve their highest potential with a focus on technique and devotion to the craft. In addition to offering regular lessons, One A'Chord performs in local venues and hosts Summer Quake, a six-week summer arts extravaganza designed to help young artists pursue writing, music, dance, and other creative interests.

Shirts - Your forefinger should be able to fit in between your collar and your neck when the shirt is buttoned to the top. If not, the collar's too tight.
Ties - Your tie point should always hang just above your belt buckle. The size (or fatness) of the tie knot should always be in proportion to the width of your collar. The wider your collar, the bigger the knot.
Trousers - Getting trousers to fit is easy. Try them first without your shoes; they should brush the floor. Then with shoes on, the back of your trousers should barely touch the ground (a good rule of thumb is that the trousers should break (crumple) about a third of the way down the shoe) Socks shouldn't show when you walk
Jeans - There are three basic styles of jeans we sell: regular, relaxed and loose.
Regular fit - is as the name implies; traditional fitting.
Relaxed fit - features more room in the seat.
Loose - (baggiest) fit includes even more fabric in the seat and thigh.
Leg styles include straight parallel and bootcut. The straight leg is narrower than the parallel, which is cut looser from the thigh. The bootcut falls over your shoe.

I think your thinking is still too grounded in real life physics. You're thinking about energy as a resource that has to come from somewhere, and that energy can't be created or destroyed.
For an omnipotent, energy is just another optional part of reality. Think of it as writing a story. I can write: "Then a new universe was formed in an instant." Within that story, that's what going to happen, and I don't have to justify or even care about the energy requirements at all. That's just a formality, something you add to give a sense of consistency.

Wikitravel:Portuguese Wikitravel Expedition
Contents |
Project launched! |
This page intends to organize efforts to make a Portuguese version of Wikitravel. Until the version is created, all discussions should be in English, so others Wikitravellers may join the discussion.
Portuguese (português) is a Romance language spoken in 23 countries, including Portugal, Brazil, Angola, Mozambique and East Timor. With more than 200 million native speakers, Portuguese is the fifth or sixth most popular mother-tongue language in the world (depending on how you count), and the second-largest Romance language, outnumbered only by Spanish.
These speakers could be well-served by travel guides in their own native language. In addition, contributions by Portuguese speakers could be translated to existing Wikitravel language versions to give better local coverage of Portuguese-speaking destinations.
- To create and maintain a Portuguese-language version of Wikitravel.
According to the language version policy, these are the steps needed to start the new Wikitravel version.
- Get three (3) Portuguese-speaking users to commit to helping with the project. Status: Complete. There are more than 3 users signed up below.
- Choose a go-between who can keep users on the other Wikitravel sites up-to-date on developments on Portuguese Wikitravel, and vice-versa. Status: Blocking. See below.
- To translate the interface file for Wikitravel into Portuguese. Status: Unknown. One or more of the Expedition members need to review and approve the interface file.
- To launch the new Portuguese-language Wikitravel. Status: Pending. Waiting for the above steps to be finished.
- To translate the pages and create the infrastructure necessary to make Portuguese Wikitravel useful and friendly for new Portuguese-speaking contributors. Status: Pending launch. This has been prematurely started on the English-language Wikitravel; the above steps should be finished first.
- To make Portuguese Wikitravel an integrated part of the Wikitravel family with frequent go-between reports and good interlanguage links. Status: Pending launch.
Expedition members are listed below. You can volunteer to help by creating a user account on English Wikitravel (see Wikitravel:how to create a user account) and adding your signature below using four tildes (* --~~~~).
- ---Avsa
- ---Paulino Michelazzo
- ---Fábio Soldá
- ---Livia Luccas
- ---Guaka 15:59, 21 Jun 2005 (EDT)
- ---Rmx
- ---Erico Koerich
- ---Robert Friedrick Martim
The go-between will be responsible for keeping Portuguese Wikitravel users informed of developments on other language versions and vice versa. They should:
- Be able to read and understand Portuguese and write Portuguese well enough to be understood.
- Be able to read and understand English and write English well enough to be understood.
- Be familiar with Wikitravel's community policies and manual of style.
The main responsibilities are to be a point of contact between Portuguese Wikitravel and the English one; principly this means making a go-between report once a month on the state of Portuguese Wikitravel. Most go-between reports are a few sentences left in the Wikitravel:Logbook.
Choosing a go-between has been left up to the Expedition members for previous language Expeditions. Most have used a voting system (see Wikitravel:German Wikitravel Expedition) but for some a volunteer has stepped forward and taken the job without opposition.
The interface file for Portuguese needs to be matched to Wikitravel. References to Wikipedia should be changed to {{SITENAME}} and reference to the GFDL should be changed to the CC by-sa 1.0.
Expedition members can edit the file here: Wikitravel:LanguagePt.php. It may be worthwhile to compare here: Wikitravel:Language.php for the English version.
Launching the new site will be extremely quick once the above two steps are finished.

Sarcoidosis is a disease in which abnormal collections of inflammatory cells (granulomas) form in many organs of the body.
The cause of sarcoidosis is unknown. It may result from an infection or from an abnormal response of the immune system. Inherited factors may be important. Sarcoidosis typically develops between the ages of 20 and 40. It is most common among people of Scandinavian ancestry and American blacks, although it can occur in anyone.
Sarcoidosis is characterized by the presence of collections of inflammatory cells (granulomas). The disease is primarily one of the lungs, but granulomas can also form in the lymph nodes, lungs, liver, eyes, and skin, and less often in the spleen, bones, joints, sinuses, skeletal muscles, kidneys, heart, reproductive organs, salivary glands, and nervous system. The granulomas may eventually disappear completely or become scar tissue.
Many people with sarcoidosis have no symptoms, and the disorder is discovered on a chest x-ray that is taken for other reasons. Most people develop minor symptoms that do not progress. Serious symptoms are rare.
The symptoms of sarcoidosis vary greatly according to the site and extent of the disease.
Fever, fatigue, vague chest pain, a feeling of illness (malaise), weight loss, and aching joints may be the first indications of a problem in about one third of people. Enlarged lymph nodes are common but do not often cause symptoms. Fever and night sweats may recur throughout the illness.
The organ most affected by sarcoidosis is the lung. Enlarged lymph nodes at the place where the lungs meet the heart or to the right of the windpipe (trachea) may be seen on a chest x-ray. Sarcoidosis produces inflammation in the lungs that may eventually lead to scarring and the formation of cysts, which can cause coughing and shortness of breath. Fortunately, such progressive scarring occurs infrequently. Occasionally, the fungus Aspergillus can settle in (colonize) the lung cysts, grow, and cause bleeding. Breathing can become difficult, and sometimes the person may cough blood. Severe involvement of the lung by sarcoidosis can eventually strain the right side of the heart, causing right-sided heart failure (cor pulmonale—see see Cor Pulmonale: A Disorder Stemming From Pulmonary Hypertension).
The skin is frequently affected by sarcoidosis. In people of Scandinavian ancestry, sarcoidosis often starts as raised, tender, red lumps, usually on the shins (erythema nodosum—see see Erythema Nodosum), accompanied by a fever and joint pain. This set of symptoms is less common in American blacks. Prolonged sarcoidosis may lead to the formation of flat patches (plaques), raised patches, or lumps just under the skin with discoloration of the nose, cheeks, lips, and ears (lupus pernio). Lupus pernio is most common in black women.
About 70% of people with sarcoidosis have granulomas in their liver. These granulomas often produce no symptoms, and the liver seems to function normally. Fewer than 10% of people with sarcoidosis have an enlarged liver. Jaundice caused by liver malfunction is rare. The spleen also is enlarged in some people.
The eyes are affected in 15% of people with sarcoidosis. Inflammation of certain internal eye structures (uveitis) makes the eyes red and painful and interferes with vision. Inflammation that persists for a long time may block fluid from draining from the eye, causing glaucoma (see see Glaucoma), which can lead to blindness. Granulomas may form in the conjunctiva (the membrane over the eyeball and inside the eyelids). Such granulomas often do not cause symptoms, but the conjunctiva is an accessible site from which doctors can take tissue samples for examination. Some people with sarcoidosis complain of dry, sore, and red eyes, probably because sluggish tear glands that have been affected by the disorder no longer produce enough tears to keep the eyes lubricated.
Granulomas that form in the heart may cause chest pain (angina) or heart failure. Granulomas that form near the heart's electrical conducting system can trigger potentially fatal irregularities in the heartbeat.
Inflammation can cause widespread pain in the joints. The joints in the hands and feet are most commonly affected. Cysts form in the bones and can make nearby joints swollen and tender.
Sarcoidosis can affect the cranial nerves (nerves of the head), causing double vision and making one side of the face droop. If the pituitary gland or the bones surrounding it are affected, diabetes insipidus (see see Central Diabetes Insipidus) may result. The pituitary gland stops producing vasopressin, a hormone needed by the kidney to concentrate urine, causing frequent urination and excessive amounts of urine.
Sarcoidosis can cause high levels of calcium to accumulate in the blood and urine. These high levels occur because sarcoid granulomas produce activated vitamin D, which enhances calcium absorption from the intestine. High blood calcium levels lead to a loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, thirst, and excessive urine production. If present for a long time, high blood calcium levels may lead to the formation of kidney stones or calcium deposits in the kidney and, eventually, to kidney failure.
Doctors most often diagnose sarcoidosis by observing its distinctive changes, including enlarged lymph nodes and abnormal findings on a chest x-ray or on computed tomography (CT). When further testing is necessary, microscopic examination of a tissue sample showing inflammation and granulomas confirms the diagnosis. Bronchoscopy with transbronchial lung biopsy (see see Bronchoscopy) is 90% accurate and is the best procedure for people whose lungs are involved. Other possible sources of tissue specimens are skin abnormalities, enlarged lymph nodes close to the skin, and granulomas on the conjunctiva. A liver biopsy is rarely needed even if there is evidence that the liver is affected.
Tuberculosis can cause many changes similar to those caused by sarcoidosis. Therefore, doctors also do a tuberculin skin test (and sometimes a lung biopsy) to make sure the problem is not tuberculosis.
Other methods that can help doctors diagnose sarcoidosis or assess its severity include measuring the level of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) in the blood, irrigating the lungs and examining the fluid, and using a whole-body gallium scan. In many people with sarcoidosis, the level of ACE in the blood is usually high, but this test is not always accurate. The washings from a lung with active sarcoidosis contain a large number of lymphocytes, but this finding is not unique to sarcoidosis. Because gallium scanning shows abnormal patterns in the lungs or lymph nodes of people with sarcoidosis in those places, this test is sometimes used when the diagnosis is uncertain.
In people with lung scarring, pulmonary function tests may show that the amount of air the lung can hold is below normal. Blood tests may reveal a low number of white blood cells, red blood cells, or platelets. Immunoglobulin levels are often high, especially in blacks. Levels of calcium in the blood may be high. The levels of liver enzymes, particularly alkaline phosphatase, may be high if the liver is affected.
Sarcoidosis improves or clears up spontaneously in nearly two thirds of people with lung sarcoidosis. Even enlarged lymph nodes in the chest and extensive lung inflammation may disappear in a few months or years. The course can be chronic or progressive in 10 to 30% of people. Serious involvement outside of the chest (for example, of the heart, nervous system, eyes, or liver) occurs in 4 to 7% of people at the beginning of their illness. The chance of involvement outside of the chest increases if lung disease persists.
People who have sarcoidosis that has not spread beyond the chest do better than those who also have sarcoidosis elsewhere in the body. People with enlarged lymph nodes in the chest but no sign of lung disease have a very good prognosis. People whose disease began with erythema nodosum and tender, swollen joints often have the best prognosis. About 50% of people who once had sarcoidosis have relapses.
About 10% of people with sarcoidosis develop a serious disability from damage to the eyes, respiratory system, or elsewhere. Lung scarring leading to respiratory failure and cor pulmonale is the most common cause of death, followed by bleeding from lung infection caused by Aspergillus.
Most people with sarcoidosis do not need treatment. Corticosteroids are given to suppress severe symptoms such as shortness of breath, joint pain, and fever. These drugs also are given if
People who have no symptoms should not take corticosteroids. Although corticosteroids control symptoms well, they do not prevent lung scarring over the years. About 10% of people who need treatment do not respond to corticosteroids alone, and they are also given methotrexate Some Trade Names TREXALL , which may be very effective. Hydroxychloroquine Some Trade Names PLAQUENIL is sometimes helpful in eliminating disfiguring skin lesions.
The success of treatment can be monitored with chest x-rays, CT, pulmonary function tests, and measurements of calcium or ACE levels in the blood. These tests are repeated regularly to detect relapses after treatment stops.

Whenever a liberal gets caught with their pants down,the media has a flood of stories about powerful men not being able to help themselves as skirt chasers. It´s in their blood,DNA or whatever.. There´s no signs that Petraeus was a serial womanizer. This was some kind of perfect storm circumstances that led to this affair.But if you´re even remotely considered conservative,the left will come after you with both barrels on something like this.Broadwell posing for a high tech gun ad creates a mental pattern that she is a devout right winger.They want to destroy her reputation and credibility in case she unloads on Obama.Obama thugs are probably offering her millions to take a secrecy oath.It really slipped by yesterday that Petraeus said he didn´t share any classified info with her.

Rio de Janeiro is mixing tech with tradition to provide tourist info about the city by embedding QR codes into black and white mosaics on sidewalks. The first codes were installed last month near Ipanema beach. Tourists can download an app to their smartphones or tablets, then scan the code and be taken to a website with a map of the area with descriptions in Portuguese, Spanish and English. The city plans to install 30 of the codes at beaches, vistas and historic sites, so Rio's 2 million foreign visitors can learn about the city as they walk around.

One of the features I most want for the iPhone is the ability to use it as a Wi-Fi remote for iTunes (and related services like Front Row or the Apple TV). Sitting back, multi-touch flicking through lists of content, finding something interesting, tapping, and -- boom -- having it "just work" on my TV or Mac would be Jobsian perfection.
Well, if TUAW's latest rumor pans out, Apple may be about to deliver, well... not exactly that, but something just as cool:
Apple is working on a new iPhone application called iControl. Like Apple TV and other remote controllers, it would allow the iPhone to connect wirelessly to local iTunes libraries and browse through and play media from those sources. TUAW is told that a media navigator will allow you to view videos, play podcasts, listen to music and even support shuffle playback.
As is increasingly the case, the rumor comes via deep delving into the latest firmware and discovering all sorts of interesting localization strings. Whether this means we'll just be able to play iTunes content on the iPhone as though it were a mobile Apple TV, or if I'll be getting my dream iTunes/Front Row/Apple TV remote control via the iPhone as well, we'll have to wait and see.
And I really am finding it harder and harder to wait. How about you?
AirTunes would be a lot more compelling if you could control it with your iPhone. I hope that's the intention here.
Nice post, Rene! It would be a dream to be able to remotely access content on my iPhone and iControl stuff!
Remote Buddy from iospirit.com is a phenomenal application that just does that, controls itunes in the iphone, though it isn't free like I understand icontrol will be...

There's something about Frank Borzage movies. While
Hollywood in the studio era was awash in films that seemed to glorify
love, physical beauty and, (before the code at least), regarded sexual
union as the epitome of the human experience, the old town couldn't
quite turn the Borzage "product" into the standard
issue pop culture version of "love". Love, Hollywood-style was often a
strange amalgam of Victorian lace, conjugal bliss and forbidden fruit,
laced with a large dose of voyeurism. The obstinate, almost mystical
belief of this film pioneer in the invisible ties that bind and the
movies he made fascinate me, even if his hard-to-find films are
sometimes difficult to find. Borzage, who grew up in
Salt Lake City as one of fourteen children in a hardworking family of
Swiss-Italian immigrants, became an actor who eventually began directing
movies under the aegis of Thomas Ince in the teens. Creating the original version of Humoresque from Fannie Hurst's
story in 1920, he went on to create many still powerful silent films,
(only a portion of the which still exist), and was awarded the first
Academy Award for Direction for Seventh Heaven (1927), as well as one for the Depression era story of Bad Girl (1931). While he could not have known it at the time, in a sense, Man's Castle marked the beginning of Borzage's
journeyman stage in his career, when, wandering from Columbia, where he
arranged to produce this film independently, he would work at
Universal, Warner Brothers, M.G.M. and Paramount throughout the rest of
his career, with varying degrees of artistic success.
Wherever he worked, the movies of director Borzage,
who reveled in a deeply felt romanticism that celebrated the ability of
the connections between human beings to transcend the temporal world,
Hollywood had an original. Working over five decades in countless films,
he didn't always succeed in translating his vision to the screen
perfectly, but, though in many cases I reject the auteurist theory, his
do have an individual stamp...More on the TCM Movie Morlocks

VICE: What inspired you to write a story about a dog-fucking cop?
Sam Humphries: It came from a logical place. I used to read a blog called dolphinsex.org. It was written by a guy who claimed to have an ongoing love affair with a dolphin in the Gulf of Mexico. Two things struck me: a) How do you go about having sexual intercourse with a dolphin? and b) Was this a two-way street—a physical and emotional relationship between two intelligent mammals?

Poured from a bottle into a classic style mug
A: Ruby red amber color with an off white head, but not quite tan is about of 1cm. This looks like a red for sure.
S: Very malty sort of over powers everything else, i don't really know what else to add.
T: Follows the nose very malty upfront. I don't drink reds that often so i don't really know the style, but I like it and usually malt is turns me away.
M: A little oily but it goes down smooth
O: I don't drink reds often but I like this one a lot got it as an extra and I'm glad but definitely not my regular beer.

1702nd Review on BA
Bottle to Speiglau glass
App- At first pour this comes out like a darker DIPA. Darkest orange there is then it does cross my mind. Maybe it's not a DIPA. Yep. Amber. A nice two finger head that is whites. Fades to a nice cling.
Smell- This was a good balanced aromatic beer. A good base of the amber comes out and then is balanced by some citrusy hops.
Taste- The amber on this one is very small. I enjoyed this beer. It wasn't as malt forward as I was thinking, the balance is there and the citrus like the nose comes out a bit more.
Mouth- A lighter medium body with a medium carbonation. The residual amber is there more so on this one. A bit more malt on the finish.
Drink- It was a good beer. Had a good amount of balance and good flavors. Troegs does some good stuff on the scratch series beers.

Thanks to stormking47 for this bottle that arrived as an extra a few days ago. 12 oz. bottle.
Been a while since I had anything from Troegs. Pour is red on the spectrum with plenty of fizzaz. Nose bring out pine, orange, with a heavy dose of malts I always think of a 'red malts'. I wonder what variety they are.
Scratch Beer #76 certainly bangs the category nail on the head. <Insert standard description of an amber ale here>. Really. PIney hops, heavy sweet malts, orange gives it a touch of different. Not tough to drink.
Pretty standard for an amber, not bad, but not much to write Congress about. Pretty good beer.

look: 4 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.5
I had this at Anthony's served on tap chilled in a large tumbler style sampler rocks glass.
The color is deep crimson with light haze and moderately full beige cap which has great retention and sticks with some lacing on the glass. The smell is very interesting with piney hops and slight tropical aroma and perhaps a light ruby red grapefruit essence in the mix. The feel is good with balance of malt and light toasted grain anchoring the mild pepper and moderately bitter hop textures with medium carbonation and relatively low alcohol presence with subtle astringency and mild yeast creaminess with just enough sweetness for an amber.
The flavor is great! I expected some kind of hops from the nose, but there is plenty to leave a lingering flavor after the first swallow. The malt has a nice toasted flavor which comes off as almost roasted or nutty with light caramel sweetness to round out the blend of piney and lightly citrus hop tinged tastes. The flavor is moderately full and is almost a dead ringer for Nugget Nectar in some ways - probably the hops utilized. I really liked this prequel and recommend this to anyone who likes either Hopback or Nugget Nectar.

look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 4
Dark amber body, decent clarity, topped by three rocky fingers of oatmeal colored froth.
Aroma of oranges, mango, and pine is strong, clear and inviting.
Thick rich caramel foundation on the tongue. Quickly engulfed by juicy fruits in the mango/ orange family. Burst of pine. Big bitter bite, which lingers on and on.
Firm medium mouthfeel.
Troegs creates an imperial red with a lot more malt forward then Nugget Nectar, and it works. Sample while you can.

3.43/5 rDev -14.3%
look: 4.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 3 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5
A: This looks like a big amber ale. Amber pour, fittingly enough, with a nicely sized white head. Only a little bit of light gets through, as this is a cross between hazy and clear. The lacing is as sticky as it gets, coating the side of my Mad Elf glass.
S: The aroma is a cross between a typical, malty amber ale and a big citrusy IPA. Some piney hops rest in the background. The palate is readied for an assault of hops my this smell.
T: And the assault is there. The beer doesn't start hoppy, you're welcomed by the maltiness and slight fruit I'd expect from an amber ale. The difference is towards the backend and at the finish. Citrus blends with one of the most resinous tastes I've ever encountered with a beer and finishes with a dry hop explosion. I'm really impressed by the taste, the issue is the flavors don't really work all that well together. The middle of the beer, while containing an awesome amount of hops, is a strange combination of malt and hop resins that just don't work in my opinion.
MF: Thicker body than I expected with a perfect amount of carbonation. I've found Troegs to always get the body of their beers spot on. The dry finish rests on the palate forever. I found the beer to be decently drinkable, but the portions of the taste I said I disliked wore on me after a while.
O: I liked this beer, but Troegs has done better things with hops. I'm not typically a fan of amber ales, and I think that is coming into play here. Good beer, not worth tracking down. Probably will give some of this 6pack away.

A - Served with a semi-clear amber body and a pillowy, white head...the head was two fingers tall and slowly fell to a full cap...there was chunky lacing left behind
S - Fresh grapefruit and other bitter fruit rind came through at first...quickly taken over by a strong and solid caramel backbone
T - Strong fruit flavors come out with first sip...the hops add the fruitiness along with a nice bite...grapefruit still reigns supreme with a little lemon and orange rind coming in behind...there is still a strong malt presence...a few toasted notes come out, but the sweet caramel plays a bigger role...it comes out more as the beer warms
M - Medium bodied...bitter, syrupy, lingering sweetness
O - I wanted to like this one as it was for a good cause, but I found myself comparing to Nugget Nectar...I mean how couldn't you? In the end, I found it to taste like "old" Nugget Nectar and I didn't want more than one

On tap at Hudson St. Stackhouse during BBW.
The beer pours a reddish amber color with good head retention and lacing. The nose is attractive, as I pick up considerable orange citrus, along with tropical fruit and a hint of underlying pine and spice. This beer smells pretty nice. The flavor profile is every bit as good; while there is a consdierable sweet malt backbone to this beer, there's more than enough hoppy bitterness as well to counter it. The alcohol is well integrated into the flavor profile, and the finish is long, bitter and still quite smooth. There's a hint of alcohol at the very end, which is the only thing that mars the quality of this beer (in a very small way).
Really liked this one. There was a lovely juicy hop flavor that was very attractive.

Served on tap in a 10 oz chalice glass
Appearance – Served a red colored beer with a one finger tan head. The head has only a light level of retention, but when it fades it leaves a nice level of lacing.
Smell – The aroma is heaviest of a sweet and hop fruit aroma. The sweet fruits are largely orange and tropical in nature with the hoppy being largely of a grapefruit like smell. With these fruit aromas are other aromas of a pine and earthy hop as well as a very light caramel smell as well.
Taste – The taste begins with a bready base with large amount of sweet caramel and citrus as well as a moderate showing of citrus hop. The grapefruit citrus hop present in the beginning grows stronger in intensity as the taste moves on. It is joined by some hop flavors that were detected in the nose. A pine taste comes to the tongue followed by a more earthy taste at the end, which when combined with the other hp and sweeter flavors leaves a persisting hop, yet rather balanced taste on the tongue.
Mouthfeel –The body of the beer is on the smoother side with a carbonation level that is about average. It suits the flavors rather well and makes it rather easy drinking.
Overall – If you can find this one be sure to give it a go. It drinks very easy and has wonderful flavor transitions. Delicious and quite tasty.

This month we talk with Michael Conneally, Ph.D., Director, Medical and Molecular Genetics, Indiana University. Dr. Conneally has been working in the field of genetics for more than 30 years and brings a keen scientific mind and a compassionate spirit to this burgeoning field.
FCA: Dr. Conneally, tell us a little about yourself.
Dr. Conneally: I am a Distinguished Professor of Medical and Molecular Genetics and Neurology at Indiana University School of Medicine. I came to Indiana 33 years ago to work on mapping genes, having a special interest in Huntington's disease (HD). Huntington's disease is a hereditary progressive neurological disorder which usually begins in mid-adult life. It is an autosomal dominant disorder, meaning that it affects both males and females equally (or does not sex differentiate) and that children of affected individuals each have a 50% risk of also inheriting the gene and developing the disease. Along with my colleagues I helped to start a Huntington's disease clinic in 1967. I believe that we were the first in the country to have a clinic specifically for families with Huntington's disease.
My main area of expertise is mapping genes. A graduate student of mine, Dr. Margaret Pericak-Vance, now at Duke University, was also interested in gene mapping and wrote her thesis on trying to map the gene for Huntington's disease. In our efforts to map the HD gene we collected families from all over the country. However, we were not successful because we now know that the markers available at that time were not in the Huntington's region of the genome, and so we were not able to map the HD gene.
In 1979, I became the director of the National Huntington's Disease Research Roster for Patients and Families. This roster is funded by the National Institutes of Health and currently contains over 2,000 families consisting of nearly 130,000 individuals. At about the same time, I became very involved in mapping the Huntington's disease gene and started a collaborative effort with Dr. James Gusella at Harvard. Dr. Gusella did the laboratory typing of the DNA samples and we did the linkage analysis on a mainframe computer.
Because we were the first to see the results off of the computer, we were the first to know that the HD gene actually mapped to chromosome 4. This finding was published in 1983. I continued to work on fine mapping the HD gene and along with a group known as the Huntington Disease Collaborative Research Group found the gene that causes HD in 1993.
FCA: Could you briefly discuss the Human Genome Project? This must be of great interest to you.
Dr. Conneally: The purpose of the Human Genome Project is to determine the complete sequence of the total human genome. As you may know, the language of life is a four-letter code which happens to be called A, T, G & C. These four letters stand for Adenine, Thymine, Guanine and Cytosine. These letters in combinations of two form what are called base pairs and these base pairs form strands of DNA. In combinations of three, for example CAG, these base pairs code for very specific amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins.
There are three billion base pairs in the human genome, meaning that every cell in your body has six billion letters. Each of us inherits half of our base pair from our mother, or three thousand million and the other half, or three thousand million, from our fathers. The aim of the human genome project is to sequence these base pairs, to determine what the language of life is. By the way, these letters would fill about three sets of encyclopedias - I don't mean three volumes - I mean three whole sets of Brittanica.
Sequencing these base pairs in order to "read the language of life" is very important to people who are trying to map genes. This sequencing has led to the discovery of genetic markers, thousands of them, all over the genome which point to the whereabouts of genes that cause disease. The result of this work is the location of genetic markers and eventually the disease gene itself, as in the example of the location of the Huntington's disease marker in 1983 and the location of the gene itself in 1993. As you can imagine, this is an extremely important project. The work is mainly done in the United States, although other countries -- especially France, Japan, Britain and Canada -- are also working on the human genome project.
A large portion of the human genome project focuses on sequencing what are called model organisms, mainly, fruit flies, yeast, and mice. There are regions in these organisms which are similar in man, so that a lot of genes in man are being located first by looking in the mouse. In fact, the mouse's genome will be determined before man's. The goal of the Human Genome Project was to map the entire genome by the year 2005; however, the project may actually be completed by the year 2003.
FCA: Once that's done, what do you see as the promise of genetic research?
Dr. Conneally: The ultimate idea of genetic research is to cure the disease. First you must find the gene. It took us a long time to find the Huntington's gene, and were it not that Dr. Gusella was so fortunate, it would have taken longer. He used what are called probes, and by sheer chance one of them he chose was right next door to the Huntington's gene. The chance of that occurring in 1983 was about one in a thousand because there were only a handful of probes available. Today there are thousands of probes that have been identified so that if we started today to localize the Huntington's gene, we could map it in two months, easily. This is one of the legacies of the Human Genome Project, the discovery of thousands of markers throughout the genome.
The second step is to clone the gene in order to discover its normal function. Most of the human genome, in fact over 90 percent of it, is "junk DNA," not genes, and this "junk DNA" is included when you map a gene in the region that you're trying to explore. We now have more and more of what we call candidate genes whose sequence and function are known. We can now look at genes in specific regions and identify those genes that are out of the ordinary. We can also figure out how the disease gene functions so that ultimately a cure can be found for the disease. Theoretically, we may find a rational drug treatment to help alleviate the disease. For example, in diabetes you simply give insulin. This is a crude example, since of course we know that the treatment or cure for most genetic diseases will not be so simple; however, we may be able to discover the abnormal function of the gene and find a way to alter its function.
In a late onset disorder one idea would be to postpone the onset of the illness indefinitely. If we could postpone the onset of Huntington's disease until an individual is 80 years old, we have in essence "cured" the disease since one's life expectancy is not much more than this to begin with.
And finally, we have genetic engineering. We may someday be able to replace the Huntington's gene in the cell -- say in neuronal cells in the brain -- with the normal gene. This is what is known as genetic engineering. Replacement of a defective gene with a normal gene is the ultimate aim in many genetic diseases; however, this technique is way down the road for most genetic diseases.
FCA: What are some of the social implications and challenges facing individuals?
Dr. Conneally: There are, of course, a lot of social implications. For example, recently I was introduced to 3-month old twin boys whose biological father has the gene for Huntington's disease and yet they have no risk of developing the disease themselves. Knowing that the children of individuals who carry the HD gene each have a 50% chance of also carrying the HD gene, how can these boys not have any risk of having inherited the gene? In this case, the parents had in-vitro pre-implantation diagnosis. This technique is the same that is used in typical in-vitro fertilization but the eggs are grown until the 8-cell stage outside the womb. Then, one of these 8 cells is taken out of each of the embryos and tested for the gene. Those embryos that do not have the Huntington's gene are then implanted. There are lots of questions about this procedure from an ethical standpoint. It is also very expensive. So one aspect of this situation is the societal views of selective choice of embryos and another is the enormous cost of such a procedure.
Then we have, of course, the ethical issues of insurability and health care for individuals who are carrying a disease gene. Presymptomatic testing is now available for a variety of human genetic diseases. This means that for those individuals who are at risk of developing a hereditary disorder, a test is available which will tell them if they carry the disease gene or not. Individuals who choose to undergo this testing can find out whether or not they are going to develop a particular disease years in advance of the onset of their symptoms. A major concern we have is that discrimination will occur for individuals who carry genes for severe late-onset disorders. We all carry bad genes, and we're very fortunate that most of them are recessive. We carry somewhere between three and five bad genes on the average, but they're recessive and it's only when two of them get together - that is, our spouse would also have to carry the same bad gene -- and both of us would have to transmit these recessive genes to our child in order for him to develop the recessive disease. None of us is perfect from a genetic point of view, and it is unfortunate that discrimination occurs against those whose genetic endowment has led them to develop a disease like Huntington's.

U.S. mobile-phone sales take a hit
Mobile-phone makers are already feeling the pinch in the U.S. market of an economic slowdown amid tough competition.
U.S. mobile-handset sales were down 13 percent in the second quarter compared to the same quarter in 2007, NPD Group said in a study released Tuesday.
In total, mobile manufacturers sold 28 million units in the U.S. in the second quarter of 2008, with sales of roughly $2.4 billion, marking a decline of about 2 percent compared to last year's second quarter, NPD said.
Samsung warned investors this summer, following the close of the second quarter, that … Read more

300g strained Greek yoghurt or mayonnaise
3 medium-sized cloves of garlic
2 tablespoonfuls extra virgin olive oil
1 lemon
Bake them whole in a very hot oven for approximately 1 hour until the skin is burned and cracks if you tap it with your fingers. It is important to be burned because that gives a special smoky taste to the dip.
Allow them to cool and cut them in two lengthwise.
Scoop out the white flesh and try to remove the dark seeds.
Put the flesh in a colander, add salt which will remove the bitterness from the eggplants and lemon juice which will help them to remain white.
Allow them to stand and drain for an hour.
Mash them as much as you can with the help of a fork, do not use a blender.
Add the yoghurt (or mayonnaise), the crushed garlic and the olive oil and stir them well.
Place them in a shallow bowl and decorate them with parsley leaves and a few drops of olive oil.
Eat and Enjoy!

Down & Dirty
Down & Dirty: Melons
Every week we get Down & Dirty, in which Nozlee Samadzadeh breaks down our favorite seasonal fruits, vegetables, and more by the numbers.
Did you know that melons are in the same family -- Cucurbitaceae -- as cucumbers, winter squash, and zucchini? Their leaves, flowers, and stems are all similar, though of course the end product is very different. (And no, you can't cross-pollinate a pattypan squash with a honeydew!) Today we're talking all about melons, to give you plenty to think about next time you lug one home from the farmers' market.
A quick word about ripeness: because melons have no external signifiers of ripeness -- size can vary dramatically and the outer skin doesn't change in appearance -- it's hard to tell when they're fully mature. While plenty of people swear by a quick knuckle-rap on a melon's surface, the best way to tell is by turning the melon over: if the yellow-brown patch where the melon lay on the soil is pronounced, large, and dirty, it's a good sign that it has been growing for a while! Try it next time you buy a melon -- I bet it'll work for you.
1. Watermelon - Evidence of watermelon plants have been found in the Nile Valley dating back to Egyptian times -- King Tut's tomb had watermelon seeds in it! In the centuries since, watermelon has spread to all parts of the world. But the watermelon you think of when you imagine the fruit is the one developed by USDA horticulturist Charles Fredric Andrus in 1954. Called the "Charleston Gray," it was bred for its large size, sturdiness (for ease of shipping), black seeds, and uniformly pink flesh. While you can find heritage breeds of watermelon at farmers' markets that have light green, dark green, or striped exteriors and flesh ranging from orange to white, the watermelons you find at the grocery store are almost always Charleston Gray descendants.
2. Honeydew - With pale green or white flesh and a smooth, waxy yellow-white surface, honeydew varieties include crenshaws, casabas, and winter melons. The varieties we see most often originated in the south of France as the White Antibes cultivar of the species. As they ripen, honeydews become heavy with their sugars and can even become sticky and spotted on the outside -- this is a good thing! Unlike the soft structure of a watermelon's flesh or the rich feel of a ripe cantaloupe, honeydew flesh is crisp and clean. (The Muppets character Dr. Bunsen Honeydew is so named because his head looks like one!)
3. Cantaloupe - Cantaloupes were first culviated in Iran thousands of years ago. The English name "Cantaloupe," however, orignates in the Italian papal county of Cantalupo that is the supposed spot where it was introduced to Europe. When you've found a good cantaloupe, you should be able to smell its heady, tropical scent from yards away -- their buttery, juicy flesh is best when it's nearly overripe.
4. Seeds, Take 1 - Watermelon seeds are scattered inside the fruit's flesh. The seeds can range from white to black, which is a function of maturity -- the black seeds are ready to grow into new watermelons. (If you've ever purchased a "seedless" watermelon, you've probably encountered the empty seed coats inside.)
5. Seeds, Take 2 - Cantaloupe and honeydew seeds are helpfully bound together in the middle of the plant and can be easily removed with a spoon. (They're of a different genus than watermelons, although still in the melon family.)
Melon seeds, like all cucurbit seeds, are edible! Kitchen Butterfly brought us ground melon seeds from Nigeria to use in Sasha (Global Table Adventure)'s Smoked Turkey Stewed in West African "Gravy." They can also be roasted and enjoyed as a snack, just like pumpkin seeds.
Melons can skew savory as well as they skew sweet. (Francis Lam at Gilt Taste even caramelizes his watermelon!) Here are a few of our favorite recipes -- you can find many more here.

Quite interesting. In fact, in India we eat spiced melon seeds and cantaloupe seeds are used to thicken gravies and gives a creamy texture to it.Both honeydew and cantaloupe are savored in summer and the seeds are sun dried and used in many recipes like the one mentioned about and in a milk based drink called Thandai

I was at at dinner recently where someone was introduced to a watermelon and feta salad for the first time, and at first he was skeptical, but after studying the bowl of salad for a moment, he said, "Well, I guess it's like eating cucumbers and feta." Apparently, he was a gardener, and he enjoyed every bite.
I've been really glad to see in the last couple of years (here in the San Francisco Bay Area) the Piel de Sapo melons, which I know from Spain; in season, they are the only thing my extended family eats for dessert. If you see them in your area, I recommend trying one!

I absolutely love this post Nozlee, and am totally fascinated by the cucurbit family, and melons in particular! The facts you've put together about the seeds as well as the photos of the ripe melons are beautiful.

Just wait til I start talking about summer squash next week -- I could blather on about cucurbits forever!

So many interesting cucurbit facts I didn't know. Thanks, Nozlee!

Dickinson Parker Hill Solicitors
STAFF and clients at Dickinson Parker Hill Solicitors, based in Ormskirk, have helped raise over £7,400 for Autism Initiatives through a Charity Will Month held during November last year.
Partner, Michael Prendergast, said: "Each year, we hold the Charity Will Month and each year the people of West Lancashire continue to be incredibly generous with their support.
We would like to thank all of those clients who took part in their scheme for their kind donations and also thank all of our staff who help make the scheme possible with their hard work and dedication."
The scheme works by clients making a donation to the chosen charity, rather than paying the usual fee. Previous years have seen Dickinson Parker Hill support Macmillan, Help for Heroes and Alder Hey.
The charity benefits from the additional funds and local people get the chance to get their affairs in order by having a professionally prepared will put in place for them by a qualified solicitor.
Autism Initiatives is a charity that helps support children and adults with autism and learning difficulties. They have a centre based at Mere Brow and supported accommodation across the region.
Mr Prendergast said: "We have every intention of carrying out the scheme again this year and hopefully we will be just as successful as in previous years."

Anonymous Equals CowardicePosted Sunday, December 18, 2011, at 4:17 PM
Anonymous equals cowardice in my estimation. I feel if anyone has something to say about someone they ought to have enough guts to say it in person. However, failing that option, if that someone chooses to write a letter, they should reveal their identity.
Otherwise the receiver has the right to subscribe the author any name that comes to mind and fits the bill. The target of the message also has the right to determine the author's motive. The author could harbor intense anger toward several people but the receiver is their choice of the week. They could be a jealous sort who feels unfulfilled in their hobbies and life in general. Or they could be just plain nuts. The motive(s) could go on and on. If the message has a tone, wording or grammatical errors that has been seen before by acquaintances or people in authority, then this coward is likely not to go unidentified for long. These are some of the errors writers in secret make. Authors of anonymous discourse are so sure they have covered all the bases; perhaps self glued envelopes and stamps, or maybe disagreeably cryptic emails. However, just like murderers, they always make mistakes. Think about it, coward. |
