You've most likley experienced it at some time - the nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea that are part-and-parcel of a bout of food poisoning. It's becoming more common - it's likely several million Australians get sick every year.

There are three golden rules for avoiding food poisoning:
Q: Is it OK to cut the mould off cheese?
A: Mould on cheese can be tricky — some, like blue cheeses and the rind on camembert, are obviously meant to be mouldy. But when it comes to small mould patches on normally-not-mouldy hard varieties, you need to be able to cut away at least a 1 cm chunk under and around the mould because it may have penetrated farther in than you can see — don't just slice it off the edge. Always throw any food away that's very mouldy. Cutting or scooping the mould off soft cheeses is very risky — its invisible threads can go well below the surface. It's safest to chuck them, as the moulds can produce toxins that can damage your liver, kidneys and immune system. Q: Can I scrape the mould off jam, tomato paste, sour cream, cottage cheese, cream cheese, yoghurt, fruit, veges and bread? A: The same goes for all soft foods like these, other processed foods and soft fruit and veges — invisible mould can go deep and any toxins produced can be dangerous: the safest place is the bin. Hard fruit and vegetables with small patches of mould are probably OK to use if you follow the 1 cm rule. Many people say they've been cutting the mould off bread their whole lives with no ill effects. It's true that in the case of bread the risk is small because you'd have to eat a lot of bread mould to do much damage, but it's still better to throw it out. Toasting the bread may kill the mould, but won't do anything to toxins that have already been made. Q: I found an old can of peaches at the back of the cupboard. Is it OK? A: If the can is still in good condition — no rust, corrosion, dents, holes or swelling — it's probably fine. Some canned foods can last for years, though planning to use them within 12 months will mean you'll eat them at their best (and baby foods should be used within 12 months). The older a can gets the more likely the contents will start to lose quality — flavour, texture, colour, aroma or nutritional value. Q: What about those dented or rusty cans — are they OK? A: You have to use a bit of common sense with dents — small dints in otherwise new and undamaged cans may be fine. However, cans that are damaged enough to let air in are extremely dangerous, and even a small dent could be enough to damage the seams where the can is sealed. Since you can't tell for sure, it's safer not to eat from a dented can. Rusting can happen when cans aren't stored in dry enough conditions, and a small amount probably won't damage the can enough to affect the contents. If there's a lot of rust it's safest not to use it. Food from a bulging can should definitely not be eaten. Q: There are some chops in the freezer with whitish spots. They won't kill me, will they? A: The whitish spots are freezer burn — dry patches caused by air getting inside the wrapping. It won't kill you — you can just cut the spots off either before or after cooking. But as for the prehistoric nature of the chops, as a general rule only keep lamb chops for about six to nine months in the freezer (beef steak about six to 12 months, an on-the-bone roast six, pork chops four to six, mince or diced meat two, sausages only one to two months and bacon one month). Always date-mark things as they go into the freezer and try to check the dates regularly. Q: What about weevils and moths in flour and other dry goods — is it OK just to sift them out? A: Apart from the yuk factor (which rules this out for most people, but clearly not for those who asked us this question), there are good reasons not to use flour or other dry goods that have been infested with weevils, moths and the like. Some insects can produce harmful chemicals, and a heavy infestation can also encourage mould growth, which in turn can produce dangerous toxins. So the bottom line is: if it moves, chuck it out. Q: I've heard cooked rice is a risky food — how long is it safe to leave it hanging around in the fridge? A: It's not so much a question of how long you can leave it in the fridge (a couple of days is probably OK), but more about what happened to it before you put it there. Raw rice can contain bacteria called Bacillus cereus, which can survive cooking and can cause serious food poisoning. If cooked rice is left too long at room temperature or in a too warm fridge, the bacteria can multiply. B cereus produces toxins that aren't killed by reheating, so reheating dodgy rice won't help. So, if you're storing cooked rice, cool it quickly, keep it in the fridge — and make sure your fridge is cold enough (around 4ºC or a bit less). Q: Is there anything wrong with wilted carrots and celery? A: They're just suffering from dehydration — water loss — so they're safe to use. Revive them in cold water for an hour or so, and just watch out for any mouldy bits that may be a problem. You need to be able to cut away at least a 1 cm chunk under and around the mould because it may have penetrated farther in than you can see. Old vegies will have lost some of their nutritional value, though. Q: Can I cut the slimy outside off rockmelon and eat the middle? A: As long as it's a large, unpeeled piece, and the slimy bit was only a minor part of the whole, you should be able to safely cut it off. Be generous when cutting away, as the rotting part could leave unpleasant flavours behind in parts that still look OK. And eat it promptly, then and there — don't turn it into fruit salad for later or take it for lunch, for example. However, there are exceptions to the cut-the-slime-off rule: pre-cut, pre-prepared foods, like fruit salad or bagged lettuce, and, in particular, slimy bean sprouts. The slime on these foods may contain dangerous bacteria. Q: Is it OK to rinse off slippery ham and use it? A: The ham is slippery because there are bacteria multiplying on its surface. You've no idea what they are, so treat slime as a warning and bin it. Q: Is it safe to eat chocolate when it gets that white mouldy-looking stuff on it? A: This is just from temperature changes — the cocoa butter and sometimes the sugar start to separate from the chocolate. It won't hurt you and you may not even notice it when you eat it, but once it's gone too far (you'll know when you try some) the chocolate will have a very strange and not-very-pleasant grainy texture. Q: My favourite restaurant is always happy to send the leftovers home in a doggy bag — can I eat it? A: Food in a doggy bag has likely had a tough time. It's been sitting around on your plate cooling down, it's been contaminated by you while you were eating it, and then it's been carried home before finally being put in the fridge, so it is a risk. Experts advise that if you are going to risk it, make sure it spends no more than four hours between the time it first landed on your plate and when you get it home into the fridge, which could be tricky — and it should always be reheated really well. Q: I left a bottle of opened mineral water on my desk on Friday. Is it still OK on Monday? A: Bottled water is likely to be safe to drink a few days after opening, as long as the cap was on and you hadn't drunk directly from the bottle. Drinking directly from the bottle is likely to contaminate the water with bacteria from you mouth. So if you don't plan to drink the whole bottle within a few hours, it's better to pour what you want into a cup, then store the bottle in the fridge. Q: My leftover spag bol has been lurking at the back of my fridge for the best part of a week — can I reheat it tonight? A: Leftovers should be eaten or frozen within two to three days of cooking, so it would be safest to throw it out. After about four days, potentially harmful micro-organisms may have reached risky levels. The two to three-day rule assumes your sauce was cooled quickly after cooking and then kept in a clean, covered container in the fridge (which was 4ºC or less.). If you haven't eaten it within two or three days you can still freeze it and reheat it — thoroughly — later. But once it's been reheated, any leftovers should be binned. Q: When I got home from the supermarket my frozen food has started to defrost — can I put it back into the freezer? A: It depends. Small pieces of meat, fish or poultry may have completely thawed, and should not be frozen again without cooking. If they feel chilled to touch, you could refrigerate them and use them quickly — that day or the next. If they don't feel chilled, it would be safest to throw them away. Larger items of these foods can be re-frozen, provided they still are mainly frozen and the defrosted bits still feel chilled. Some items may not be as nice on second chilling — ice cream, for example. If in doubt, throw away the food, especially if it's a hot day. A cool bag kept in your boot for frozen foods is a good idea — and the super-organised might like to use frozen ice bricks, too.
When pushing your trolley down the supermarket aisle there are things you can watch out for to make sure you buy the safest, highest-quality food:
Although there's no real guarantee that just because an outlet looks hygienic it is, you can at least avoid the worst places by keeping a lookout for:
Bluff bacteria with the boffins - here's what you need to know: We've used the term "bacteria" here to refer to the micro-organisms that grow on food and can infect anyone who eats it. Strictly speaking, these harmful bacteria are known as "pathogens". Many other bacteria are harmless. The symptoms of "food poisoning" are sometimes caused by toxins produced by bacteria and other times caused by bacteria themselves infecting the body. The commonest symptoms are vomiting and diarrhoea, usually preceded by abdominal cramps and sometimes a headache. Usually it takes large numbers of food poisoning bacteria to cause illness, as our body's natural defences can usually take care of most smallish invasions, but infants babies and people with weakened defences (such as those who are already sick, and elderly and those on immunosuppressive drugs) are much more susceptible, so preparing food for them demands extra care and we should always be aware of the extra precautions needed for these people. In Australia, the bugs that commonly cause problems are:
Most prepacked foods are labelled with a date of some kind.

Wayne Lapierre: Americans have absolute right to own a fire arm according to second amendment
NRA: Gov't can't take guns away
WASHINGTON - The head of the National Rifle Association is lashing out this morning at President Obama's inaugural speech.
During a speech on Tuesday night, NRA Executive Vice-President Wayne Lapierre said the second amendment gives Americans the 'absolute right' to own a firearm, but the president wants to redefine that freedom.
In his speech Monday, the president said Americans shouldn't "mistake absolutism for principle", which was interpreted by the gun rights group as an attack on them.
Lapierre said Americans weren't given guns by the government and "no government can take them away."

'The Claw' and 'Flatso' putter grips from SuperStroke
The ban on anchored-putting styles isn't scheduled to go into effect until 2016, but many tour players are already preparing for the day when they can no longer lean on their long and belly putters.
It's not even February, but we've already seen photos of two very successful long-putter users, Carl Pettersson and Adam Scott, practicing with non-anchored putters. If you look closely at the photos below, you'll see that neither Pettersson nor Scott are gripping the putter in a traditional way — they're both using a version of the "claw" grip, which places their right hand on the putter in a position that's similar to the way they gripped a long putter.
Dean Dingman, president of SuperStroke golf, said that as the death date for anchored putters grows nearer, golfers who were successful with anchored long and belly putters will start to gravitate toward new, non-anchored putting styles. That's why his company has released five new putter grips that will give golfers who struggle with conventional putting styles more options on the green.
SuperStroke's new "The Claw" putter grip looks much like conventional putter grips, but it's length has been stretched 2.5 inches, which better accommodates the claw style of putting.
The grip was inspired by Phil Mickelson's experiment with the claw putting style last fall. Mickelson wanted more grip length to accommodate the position of his lower hand, which rests farther down the grip when using the claw style of putting. To do so, Mickelson cut down one of SuperStroke's 21-inch belly putter grips to 13 inches, which gave him the length he needed as well as a reduced weight (The Claw weighs 93 grams) that gave his putter a better balance.
SuperStroke's Flatso grips are designed in a non-tapered pentagonal shape that creates a wide flat section on the front of the grip, as well as a pistol-style ridge that give the grips a different feel than the company's round-shaped putter grips. The Flato is available in four different styles — Flatso, Flatso Mid, Flatso DB and Flatso 17 — all with different constructions that target different golfers.
The standard Flatso has a front-section diameter of 1.7 inches, which some golfers will use to place their thumbs more parallel to each other on the wider flat section of the grip, which will level their shoulders at address. With the Flatso, golfers can also position their hands further away from each other, which will help some create a more shoulder-driven stroke.
"We noticed that some tour players were trying to get their hands closer together and level out their shoulders at address," said Jon Luna, director of marketing for SuperStroke. "Others players asked us for more of a pistol-style feel on the back of the grip. We feel that the larger flat section gives golfers more versatility and more options on how they can putt."
The Flatso weighs 100 grams, and like all of SuperStroke's standard-length grips, measures 10.5 inches. The Flatso Mid is a smaller, lighter version of the Flatso, with a diameter of 1.4 inches and a weight of 60 grams. Because of it's smaller front section, the Flatso Mid will help golfers square up the face slightly faster at impact than the larger Flatso grip.
The Flatso DB (or Double Barrel) has the same outer construction as the standard Flatso grip, but it has two holes on the interior of the grip that will allow golfers to either add or subtract offset from their putter. If a right-handed golfer installs the grip on their shaft through the left hole, they will subtract 0.25 inches of offset from the putter, which should delay the closing of the putter face through impact — good for players that tend to miss their putts to the left. If the grip is installed through the right hole, the grip will add 0.25 inches of offset to the putter, which should speed up the closing of the face and help players who tend to miss their putts to the right.
SuperStroke's Flatso 17 is a 17-inch-long version of the company's Flatso Mid grip, and was designed to add stability for golfers who anchor mid-length putters to their leading forearm. In this style of putting, which has been popularized by Matt Kuchar, the Flatso 17 is turned counter clockwise (for a right-handed golfer) so the 1.4-inch diameter of the grip rests flatly against a golfer's upper wrist and forearm.

The grip with 2 holes in it if very innovative, allowing adjustment of the offset angle of the putter. Golf club designers should take note. With adjustable drivers like Ping already out, can adjustable putters be far behind? Seems like a simple gear mechanism near the shaft/blade junction would easily accommodate a slight angle adjustment of the putter blade.
It's good to see golfing manufacturers coming out with some new alternatives to help out golfers.
The new grip is an interesting one that hopefully offers a good substitute for the golfers who love the longer putter.
Being an Adam Scott fan I hope he finds a way to move back to the standard length putter and retain the same touch. His putting has always been his weak point so he needs it remaining strong.
Superstroke hasn't put these on their website yet. I Really want to see the specs of the Claw one.

Clearly the newhounds loved the way the Heston Blumenthal story helped to fill valuable column inches with something other than the credit crunch, as they've been playing close attention to Gordon Ramsay for a follow up story. First off, they seemed happy to cast aspersions on his finances especially when he sold his much-touted French outpost, but it wasn't too long before a much better story came along.
Surely, we're told, if you're eating in a three Michelin starred restaurant, you'd expect the chef to unwrap the food before presenting it to you? And it certainly doesn't help you keep a lid on such and event if those affected have already been proven to be not averse to the odd bit of publicity. One thing's for sure, the Guardian thinks the punters are getting a little overzealous in their court claims.
Of course, the news wasn't done with Heston either. His restaurant may well be open again, but the Health Protection Agency criticised staff for coming back to work before they had recovered from the now-infamous Norovirus. Don't expect the story to end there - these were just preliminary findings and the full report is due in a month. We here at Hot Dinners are due to go to the Fat Duck in May, and will certainly be hoping that the Restaurant stays open...

|Creighton Tull Chaney (later known as Lon Chaney, Jr.)
Lon Chaney (April 1, 1883 – August 26, 1930), born Leonidas Frank Chaney, was an American actor during the age of silent films. He is regarded as one of the most versatile and powerful actors of early cinema, renowned for his characterizations of tortured, often grotesque and afflicted characters, and his groundbreaking artistry with makeup.[1] Chaney is known for his starring roles in such silent horror films as The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1923) and The Phantom of the Opera (1925). His ability to transform himself using makeup techniques he developed earned him the nickname "The Man of a Thousand Faces."
Early life[edit]
Leonidas Frank Chaney was born in Colorado Springs, Colorado, to Frank H. Chaney and Emma Alice Kennedy; his father had mostly English and some French ancestry, and his mother was of Scottish, English, and Irish descent. Her father, Jonathan Ralston Kennedy, founded the "Colorado School for the Education of Mutes" (now, Colorado School for the Deaf and Blind) in 1874, and Chaney's parents met there.[2] Both of Chaney's parents were deaf, and as a child of deaf adults Chaney became skilled in pantomime. He entered a stage career in 1902, and began traveling with popular Vaudeville and theater acts. In 1905, Chaney, then 22, met and married 16-year-old singer Cleva Creighton (Frances Cleveland Creighton) and in 1906, their only child, a son, Creighton Tull Chaney (later known as Lon Chaney, Jr.) was born. The Chaneys continued touring, settling in California in 1910.
Marital troubles developed and on April 30, 1913, Cleva went to the Majestic Theater in downtown Los Angeles, where Lon was managing the Kolb and Dill show, and attempted suicide by swallowing mercuric chloride.[3] The suicide attempt failed but it ruined her singing career as a result; the ensuing scandal and divorce forced Chaney out of the theater and into film.
The time spent there is not clearly known, but between the years 1912 and 1917, Chaney worked under contract for Universal Studios doing bit or character parts. His skill with makeup gained him many parts in the highly competitive casting atmosphere. During this time, Chaney befriended the husband-wife director team of Joe De Grasse and Ida May Park, who gave him substantial roles in their pictures, and further encouraged him to play macabre characters.
Chaney married one of his former colleagues in the Kolb and Dill company tour, a chorus girl named Hazel Hastings. Little is known of Hazel, except that her marriage to Chaney was solid. Upon marrying, the new couple gained custody of Chaney's 10-year-old son Creighton, who had resided in various homes and boarding schools since Chaney's divorce from Cleva in 1913.[4]
By 1917 Chaney was a prominent actor in the studio, but his salary did not reflect this status. When Chaney asked for a raise, studio executive William Sistrom replied, "You'll never be worth more than one hundred dollars a week."
After leaving the studio, Chaney struggled for the first year as a character actor. It was not until 1918 when playing a substantial role in William S. Hart's picture, Riddle Gawne, that Chaney's talents as a character actor were truly recognized by the industry.
In 1917 Universal presented Chaney, Dorothy Phillips, and William Stowell as a team in The Piper's Price. In succeeding films, the men alternated playing lover, villain, or other man to the beautiful Phillips. They would occasionally be joined by Claire DuBrey nearly making the trio a quartet of recurring actors from film to film. So successful were the films starring this group that Universal produced fourteen films from 1917 to 1919 with Chaney, Stowell, and Phillips. The films were usually directed by Joe De Grasse or his wife Ida May Park, both friends of Chaney's at Universal. When Chaney was away branching out on films such as Riddle Gawne and The Kaiser, Beast of Berlin, Stowell and Phillips would continue on as a duo until Chaney's return. Stowell and Phillips made The Heart of Humanity (1918), bringing in Erich von Stroheim for a part as the villain that could easily have been played by Chaney. Paid in Advance (1919) was the group's last film together, for the chiseled featured Stowell was sent to Africa by Universal to scout locations for a movie. En route from one city to another, Stowell was in the caboose when it was hit by the locomotive from another train; he was killed instantly. The majority of these films are lost but a few, including Triumph and Paid in Advance survive in private collections or unrestored in European or Russian archives.[5][6]
In 1919, Chaney had a breakthrough performance as "The Frog" in George Loane Tucker's The Miracle Man. The film displayed not only Chaney's acting ability, but also his talent as a master of makeup. Critical praise and a gross of over $2 million put Chaney on the map as America's foremost character actor.
He exhibited great adaptability with makeup in more conventional crime and adventure films, such as The Penalty, in which he played an amputee gangster. Chaney appeared in 10 films directed by Tod Browning, often portraying disguised and/or mutilated characters, including carnival knife-thrower Alonzo the Armless in The Unknown (1927) opposite Joan Crawford. In 1927, Chaney also co-starred with Conrad Nagel, Marceline Day, Henry B. Walthall and Polly Moran in the Tod Browning horror film, London After Midnight, considered one of the most legendary lost films. His final cinema role was a sound remake of his silent classic The Unholy Three (1930), his only "talkie" and the only film in which Chaney utilized his versatile voice. The actor signed a sworn statement declaring that five of the key voices in the film (the ventriloquist, the old woman, a parrot, the dummy and the girl) were his own.
In Quasimodo, the bell ringer of Notre Dame, and Erik, the "phantom" of the Paris Opera House, Chaney created two of the most grotesquely deformed characters in film history.[7][8] However, the portrayals sought to elicit a degree of sympathy and pathos among viewers not overwhelmingly terrified or repulsed by the monstrous disfigurements of these victims of fate.
"I wanted to remind people that the lowest types of humanity may have within them the capacity for supreme self-sacrifice," Chaney wrote in an autobiographical article published in 1925 in Movie magazine. "The dwarfed, misshapen beggar of the streets may have the noblest ideals. Most of my roles since The Hunchback, such as The Phantom of the Opera, He Who Gets Slapped, The Unholy Three, etc., have carried the theme of self-sacrifice or renunciation. These are the stories which I wish to do."
"He was someone who acted out our psyches. He somehow got into the shadows inside our bodies; he was able to nail down some of our secret fears and put them on-screen," Ray Bradbury once explained. "The history of Lon Chaney is the history of unrequited loves. He brings that part of you out into the open, because you fear that you are not loved, you fear that you never will be loved, you fear there is some part of you that's grotesque, that the world will turn away from."
In his 1925 Movie magazine article, Chaney referred to his expertise in both make-up and contorting his body to portray his subjects as "extraordinary characterization." Chaney's talents extended beyond the horror genre and stage makeup. He was also a highly skilled dancer, singer and comedian. Many who did not know Chaney were surprised by his rich baritone voice and his sharp comedic skills.
Chaney and his second wife Hazel led a discreet private life distant from the Hollywood social scene. Chaney did minimal promotional work for his films and for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, purposefully fostering a mysterious image, and he reportedly intentionally avoided the social scene in Hollywood.
In the final five years of his film career (1925–1930), Chaney worked exclusively under contract to MGM, giving some of his most memorable performances. His portrayal of a tough-as-nails marine drill instructor in Tell It to the Marines (1926), one of his favorite films, earned him the affection of the Marine Corps, who made him their first honorary member from the motion picture industry. He also earned the respect and admiration of numerous aspiring actors, to whom he offered mentoring assistance, and between takes on film sets he was always willing to share his professional observations with the cast and crew.
During the filming of Thunder in the winter of 1929, Chaney developed pneumonia. In late 1929 he was diagnosed with bronchial lung cancer. This was exacerbated when artificial snow, made out of cornflakes, lodged in his throat during filming and quickly created a serious infection.[9] Despite aggressive treatment, his condition gradually worsened, and seven weeks after the release of the remake of The Unholy Three, he died of a throat hemorrhage on August 26, 1930 in Los Angeles, California.[1] His death was deeply mourned by his family, the film industry, and his fans. The US Marine Corps provided a chaplain and Honor Guard for his funeral. He was interred at Forest Lawn Memorial Park Cemetery, in Glendale, California, next to the crypt of his father. His wife Hazel was interred there upon her death in 1933. For unknown reasons, Chaney's crypt has remained unmarked.

In 1957, Chaney was the subject of a biopic titled Man of a Thousand Faces, and was portrayed by James Cagney. Though much of the plot was fictional, the film was a moving tribute to Chaney and helped boost his posthumous fame. During his lifetime, Chaney had boasted he would make it difficult for biographers to portray his life, saying that "between pictures, there is no Lon Chaney." This was in line with the air of mystery he purposefully fostered around his makeup and performances.
Lon Chaney has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In 1994, he was honored by having his image, designed by noted caricaturist Al Hirschfeld, placed on a United States postage stamp. The stage theater at the Colorado Springs Civic Auditorium is named after Chaney.
In 1929, Chaney built an impressive stone cabin in the remote wilderness of the eastern Sierra Nevada, near Big Pine, California, as a retreat. The cabin (designed by architect Paul Williams) still stands, and is preserved by the Inyo National Forest Service.
Chaney's son Creighton, renamed Lon Chaney, Jr., became a film actor after his father's death, and is best remembered for roles in horror films, especially The Wolf Man. The Chaneys appeared on US postage stamps as the Phantom of the Opera and the Wolf Man, with the set completed by Bela Lugosi as Dracula and Boris Karloff as Frankenstein's monster and the Mummy. He and his son are mentioned in the Warren Zevon song "Werewolves of London".
Following his death, Chaney's famous makeup case was donated by his wife Hazel to the Los Angeles County Museum, where it is sometimes displayed for the public. Makeup artist and Chaney biographer Michael Blake considers Chaney's case the most important artifact in the history of film makeup.
Chaney is the subject of a documentary feature called Lon Chaney: A Thousand Faces (2000), produced by silent film expert Kevin Brownlow and narrated by Kenneth Branagh.

text: Could we carry only two QBs this year. Yeah, Flutie hasn't made up his mind, and I kind of expect him to go one more year in search of a SB ring, but we could conceivably carry 2 QBs Normally, the Pats carry a QB, a backup QB, and a developmental QB. Matt Cassel (everyone bow their heads at mention of his name) is certainly our developmental QB. Might he also be our backup QB? If he is our backup QB, do we need to carry a developmental QB? Develop for what? Planning for Cassel's (bow heads) retirement in 2020? Unless most here, I like Martin G., and can see the Pat carrying 2 kickers for at least part of the season. Any thoughts?

Using PCR allows enough DNA to be made so it can be manipulated by the experimenter. In brief the principle of the reaction can be divided into three stages: denaturation (the separation of double stranded DNA to produce single stranded DNA), annealing (the binding of region-specific primers to the DNA) and elongation (the extension of the primers by a DNA polymerase to produce copies of the original material). These stages are generally repeated for 25-30 times resulting in the amplification of a specific region of DNA. To do this PCR requires several basic components which are:
- A DNA template, which contains the region of the DNA fragment to be amplified;
- Two primers, which determine the beginning and end of the region to be amplified;
- A heat stable DNA polymerase such as Taq polymerase, which copies the region to be amplified;
- Deoxynucleotide triphosphates, (dATP, dGTP, dCTP, dTTP) from which the DNA polymerase builds the new DNA;
- Buffer, which provides a suitable chemical environment for the DNA polymerase.
All these components can be made up as a master mix with the exception of the DNA and the primers. The DNA template:
- Is often, but not always, double stranded;
- Contains sequence spanning the area to be amplified;
- Can come from:
- Crude cell lysates;
- Purified cloned DNA;
- A single cell;
- Fossils;
- And many other sources.
The PCR is carried out in a thermal cycler. This is a machine that can be programmed to heat and cool the reaction tubes within it to the precise temperature required for each step of the reaction. To prevent evaporation of the reaction mixture (typically volumes between 15-100μl per tube), a heated lid is placed on top of the reaction tubes or a layer of oil is put on the surface of the reaction mixture.

Better than I expected!
I'll admit, I bought these because they were on sale. Usually, I stick to the summer offerings from Crocs. I didn't have high hopes because some of the negative reviews -- but I'm glad I took a chance because these shoes are awesome! Someone mentioned that they don't have any support, but I'm thrilled that they have the standard Crocs footbed in them - which is great support for me (especially compared to Converse, which have none). They do look a *little* weird because they off-white and not a bright-white, and they do make my feet sweat just a little (not too bad). But overall I love that I have some stylish and extremely comfortable tennis shoes to wear with my jeans and cargos on the weekend and I didn't pay a fortune for them!

A little girl's journey through the streets of Tehran becomes a dazzling metafictional exercise in
"The Mirror," a 1998 film from Iran that will conclude this year's International Film Series at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire.
In Farsi subtitled in English, the 95-minute film will screen at 6 and 8:30 p.m Thursday through Sunday, May 3-6, in Davies Theatre.
"The Mirror" is an ingenious and daringly original commentary on the nature of documentary filmmaking. Jafar Panahi (director of 1995 Oscar nominee
"The White Balloon") wraps a blunt political critique inside the layers of a deceptively simple film.
The movie begins as a realistic story focusing on Mina (Mina Mohammad-Khani), a little girl with her arm in a sling who is waiting for her mother to meet her at the end of the school day. When no one comes for her, Mina becomes impatient and impulsively hops on a bus that is heading in the wrong direction. As the bus makes its way through the crowded streets, Mina overhears a number of conversations and the film takes on the feeling of a documentary made with a hidden camera.
Halfway through the film, however, it is Mina the actress not Mina the character who loses patience. She announces she is tired of making the movie, takes off her sling and runs off.
"A movie that at first appeared to be a neo-realist gem, reminiscent of
'The Bicycle Thief,' abruptly turns into a complicated exploration of cinematic illusion and reality," wrote New York Times film critic Stephen Holden.
"By the end of the movie, the perspective has shifted from Mina, to the headstrong girl playing her, to the frustrated (still largely unseen) filmmakers watching their work-in-progress fall apart.
'The Mirror' poses the deepest questions about illusion, reality and filmmaking. Its portrait of Tehran is unforgettable."
Tickets, available at the University Service Center, (715) 836-3727, are $2 for International Film Society members and UW-Eau Claire faculty/staff or $1 for UW-Eau Claire students.-30-

Parental Responsibility Ordinance
There are so many questions:
Will this ordinance tie into the District 150 truancy program? Will this ordinance also go after parents of children who are ticketed for underage drinking? Will this ordinance go after parents who children receive traffic tickets? Will this ordinance go after parents who children have illegal drugs at school? If the parents fail to comply in whatever way, what will be the final consequence? If fines are imposed, do we really think parents would be capable of paying hefty fines in this economy? Will the parent be required to serve community service? If so, what of the parent's other children who may still be in the household?
What services will be available for a parent who can't control their child? If the parent is away from home paying for the problem child's crimes, what of the problem child then? Will they become a ward of the State–an orphan, or they will be tried as adults because their parents couldn't control them.
Is the April 6th Forum just so people can come and complain, or will the Councilmen have some answers to the tough questions that surround an ordinance like this?
I am all for parents being held accountable, however, I am not so quick to believe that this is the answer. This parental responsibility ordinance is a slippery slope, that will cost the City money to enforce. Will the numbers for the cost of enforcing this ordinance be available at the Forum on April 6th.
Before Councilman Turner and Montelongo proceed down this route, they should try talking with the Police Chief, isn't there something he could do to be more effective? How about that Race Relations Commission, couldn't they offer a suggestion on something by now?
As far as Peoria's image that Councilman Turner is so concerned about—that image is a result of the decisions and/or indecisions of the Mayor and City Council. And while we are trying clever ways to stop the young troublemakers, let's not forget about all of the adults who are committing crimes. Who will City Council hold accountable for that?
Cahill is somewhere smiling...
In a recent TimesObserver article Mr. Cahill stated "the district has no choice but to make cuts if it hopes to maintain the A+ bond rating it now has from Standard & Poor's."
The District knew that they could loose their A+ rating if they didn't close schools. If they had made the tough decision to close schools the first time, we wouldn't be in this predicament now.
The Journal Star is reporting that on April 6, Hinton will recommend closing two primary schools. Only two—will that be enough? What about the high school situation?
What two schools do you think the District will be closing? Why the two with the least amount of resistance (i.e., south of War Memorial), of course. As a result the children in the black community, those who are the most vulnerable, will bear the brunt of the burden to cut costs.
"But there is a caveat", the Journal Star has done a little in depth reporting and are actually giving those that may oppose a heads up on what it would take to defeat the District's attempt to seek bonds to cover the deficit:
This is just me speculating, but as long as the District stays South of War Memorial and only close primary schools—I don't think they will meet any opposition.

Bloggers and the News Ombudsman
Across the country newspapers are looking at ways to cut costs and are letting go of their newspaper ombudsmen. Why? Because it is a widely held belief that because newspapers now allow bloggers to comment on stories, we no longer need ombudsmen to make sure that a story is not slanted one way or another. However, I am under the impression that the opposite needs to happen. In my opinion, the advent of local blogs and citizen bloggers make it even more necessary for newspapers to hire ombudsmen to protect the integrity of the newspaper and the city as a whole.
A news ombudsman receives and investigates complaints from newspaper readers or listeners or viewers of radio and television stations about accuracy, fairness, balance and good taste in news coverage. He or she recommends appropriate remedies or responses to correct or clarify news reports.
News ombudsmen generally function in an advisory capacity only, not as disciplinarians. Some newspapers use titles such as "readers' representative," "readers' advocate," or "public editor." Others have an assistant managing editor or an assistant to a senior editor who act as ombudsman. (from newsombudsmen.org)
If you read pjstar.com, you know that citizen bloggers are expressing negative feelings for fellow citizens, for City initiatives and for the City as a whole. More specifically, if there is a story about minorities committing crimes, the school district, new taxes, or the police, the comments of bloggers can be down right nasty. So nasty, that the City and the Journal Star could come off looking like they condone such hateful comments when they can't catch them fast enough.
If you were looking to move to Peoria and read the local blogs or the newspaper on line, chances are you would come away with the impression that Peoria is filled with negativity; all political leaders care about is a museum; gangs run the City; and/or the schools are worthless. These conclusions may or may not be true, but outsiders could possibly begin to view Peoria as a city devoid of culture and indifferent to diversity.
Lately the Journal Star has been restricting comments on certain stories. It's difficult to pin point what story they may or may not allow posting, readers are left to guess why. Sometimes they allow posting on a story that seems like they should have closed. Local bloggers pick up on the story and people go to the local blogs and comment and yes, sometimes in this process, the City and the Journal Star are slammed for closing off comments and not allowing the story to be explored further by citizen bloggers.
Newspapers don't like it, but local blogs have an impact on what stories city newspapers cover. Community blogs that have high reader interaction often raise issues that the main stream media (i.e., local news stations and newspapers) are not covering. As a result, citizens could be left to question if the news [paper] is fair and balanced in their coverage of certain issues. Closing off all comments on certain stories invites this type of scrutiny.
It's not just locally that there are concerns about the impact of citizen bloggers. In Salisbury, Maryland, the mayor has gone on record with her belief that malicious bloggers are endangering the moral of the city:
Citizens - bloggers (negative and otherwise) are challenging newspapers and city leaders like never before. In the current environment, any city and/or newspaper with a citizenship that actively participates in blogging could benefit from the ombudsman.
As newspapers struggle to compete with the blogosphere, self-regulation and reputation management will be more important than ever. A person on staff, who the public know is an advocate, is good public relations for a city and a newspaper.

Again, not all young black children are thugs
The NAACP and other black leaders are right, this is an injustice… (here comes the but), But didn't reasonable people know that if children in Peoria were allowed to continue to run rampant and terrorize the community, that eventually people would begin to look at all youngsters who fit a certain criterion as thugs and trouble makers? Stereotyping? Of course, but any reasonable adult who has seen Crime View Community knows that if you live and/or do business in a certain part of Peoria, you have to make judgment calls about your safety. These days, even a simple, white t-shirt could be a sign of a gangbanger.
Don Jackson, NAACP President believes that "Black children were singled out in ..." I agree with Mr. Jackson, I don't doubt that they were singled out. Although it's unfortunate that it happened and it is hurtful to the children, is this really the fight the NAACP needs to have at this time?
I think we can all agree, that the behavior displayed by the young people who are terrorizing this community is a symptom of a greater problem. The NAACP and black leaders need to address the root cause of why so many young black folks in this town feel like nobody gives a damn about them, therefore, they don't give a damn about nobody. It's a vicious cycle and we have to break it.
In the meantime, our children, law abiding citizens, are being turned away at the door of the Civic Center and make no bones about it – it's WRONG. However, (... and I'm totally playing the devil's advocate on this) is it really discrimination when reasonable folks would consider taking similar precautions because of the crime in Peoria and the subsequent information on Crime View Community? I mean, come on, businesses are locking the door and making people ring the doorbell before getting in.
The black population of Peoria, Illinois is upwards of 25,000. The vast majority of the crime is in the black community. The majority of the crimes are being committed by black youth. The majority of us live in the neighborhoods where people are getting shot everyday. Black children live in a town where when they are shot dead, the police just can't seem to solve the crime, but they will put up a map to warn citizens of the areas to avoid.
People can't go to a street carnival without possibly getting beat-up, cussed out or shot at. Women and elderly are getting mugged regularly. There are complaints of discrimination in city services. The schools are failing our children and there are reports of lunch rooms being terorrized by thugs. What I and other law abiding citizens of Peoria want to know is can the NAACP and black leaders please, please, please talk to somebody about these issues?

The man my Barbie always wanted...
I was strolling through my favorite thrift store with "Lil One" when I saw him. The guy of my pre-teen dreams. G.I. Joe with the Kung Fu Grip.
I showed him to "Lil One". She went wild, she didn't know nothing about that. She had never seen GI Joe. She thought the one in the white looked like Kanye. I didn't need to convince her that he would be a better play mate for Veterinarian Barbie than Fred (from Scoobie Doo), she knew.
We took him and his two well built friends.

Should Investors Dial VeriFone Ahead of Earnings?
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The first six months of the year have been anything but dull for payment-processing king VeriFone (PAY).
The stock gained as much as 21% in the first four weeks of the year, and a month later, plummeted 50% because of struggles in execution and rising competition from the likes of privately held Square and rumors that Apple (AAPL) would dominate mobile payments with its so-called "eWallet."
But that shouldn't have been a surprise. Five months prior to the Street waking up to these concerns, I warned investors about that possibility and suggested that Apple could kill off VeriFone.
Feeling betrayed by their company's lack of preparation, investors didn't take the stock's 50% decline lying down. They demanded action from the company's board of directors. And on March 11, investors got an answer. The company announced that CEO Doug Bergeron was stepping down.Since then, the stock is up 14%. But shares are still down 21% since the beginning of the year, which has now brought about the obligatory "value play" angle. But other than that Bergeron was asked to fall on the sword, has anything really changed for VeriFone? I don't believe so.
On Wednesday, investors will find out more as the company reports its fiscal second-quarter earnings. While some are betting on an upside surprise, the Street is not as optimistic. Analysts are calling for an 8% decline in revenue and a 26.6% drop in earnings per share. The company is coming off a decent first quarter where both revenue and earnings per share exceeded estimates. Given the uncertainty created by Bergeron's departure, however, it wouldn't be surprising if the company missed both targets for its second quarter. Besides, the macro environment hasn't been good. Retail figures from end users of point-of-sale terminals such as Wal-Mart (WMT), Target (TGT) and McDonald's (MCD) have shown reduced customer traffic. These businesses now understand that in order to grow, they have to reduce transaction time. That is why self-pay kiosks have become more popular. But if an iPhone app can fulfill the service criteria, traditional payment-processing companies can become extinct.

A former name retained.
(ScStr.: dp. 11,570 (n.); l. 416'6"; b. 53'; dr. 27'6"; s. 8.5 k.; cpl. 60)
Oskawa (ID.–3797), a refrigerator ship built in 1918 by the Moore Shipbuilding Co., Oakland, Calif., for the U.S.S.B., was acquired by the Navy for use as a Naval Overseas Transportation Service refrigerator ship 6 January 1919 and commissioned the same day, Lt. Comdr. C. H. Batchelder, USRNF, in command. In commission for less than two months, Oskawa decommissioned and was returned to USSB, at New York, 27 February 1919. She remained in custody of USSB and its successor the Maritime Commission until World War II.


text: Sluggish first half with a lot of shots that rimmed out and some poor free throw shooting. Boy what a different team in the 2nd half. 1. I am so glad Casey Prather didn't transfer. 10 of 11 shooting with 5 rebounds 5 assists a block and a steal. It is amazing how far he has come since his freshman year. He is so explosive and had a monster dunk. 2. Kasey Hill quietly played an outstanding game. Scored efficiently and had 6 assists to go with 0 turnovers. Had 5 steals on defense as well. 3. DFS was the guy weve been waiting for and 17 pts and 9 rebounds in 16 minutes is quite impressive. He was so smooth and shot from 3 effortlessly. If he continues like that we will be fine from 3 with him and Frazier. 4. Devon Walker works so damn hard and was getting frustrated out there with his misses. I'm really pulling for him because you can see how bad he wants it. 5. Eli Carter isn't close to the player he was. The injury is clearly still influencing his game and I am sure being in a new system doesn't help. I hope he redshirts at this point. 6. Great game on the boards for PY tonight. Had some aggressive rebounds and shot the ball a bit better from everywhere but the charity stripe.

Thank God for this site. If it wasn't for thesuperficial.com, I might think I was going insane. Everywhere I turn I see TV ads, magazine articles, photo captions, etc., etc., all telling me that "Fergie" is a hot, sexy, and beautiful starlet. Now I know that I am not alone in seeing an ugly, untalented, meth-addict-faced, skeeza. BTW, can there really be more than 1 Fergie? I'm not ready to give up knowing the Fat English Pricess and Weight Watcher by that name. Thank you.
I'm going against the grain on this one and saying I'd fuck her, on two conditions – doggiestyle and with a bag over her head. You don't fuck the face, and she looks hot from the waist down in those tight red pants. I can't help it, it's genetic, they make my blood boil. And if it turns out that she has a cock, I'd do the right thing – I'm not the kind of guy that would fuck a person in the ass and not even have the goddam common courtesy to give him (it?) a reach-around.
#102 – nice one, Gunnery Sgt. Hartman. Watch out for Fergi Pyle – you may rip her balls off so that she cannot contaminate the rest of the world.
And when I'm done fucking him (it?) in the ass, of course I'd have the goddam common courtesy to let him fuck ass too.
I mean fair is fair.
Platitudes! Platitudes! Nothing but platitudes!
Looks like that hoe is doing the crab scratch shuffle or is she only zipping up from taking a dump…. A dump a dump a dump A nasty, stinky dump.
Rediculous, over rated, talentless, meth addicted, SLUT!
Poor Josh. He's gonna pee in his pants when he see this pic. That's right dude, you've been punk'd. I'm sure Fergie sleeps with her mae-up on and wakes up earlier than Josh, in order to do some retouches. Otherwise, the guy would have gotten a heart attack.
No wonder he is in no rush to marry and to sperminate her. He's worried about his ADN. Don't want to mix it up with an ugly tranny. How old does she look really? 70? Her drug addict period really took a toll on her. If it wasn't for the lipo, the nip/tuck, the tummy tuck and the boob job, that girl would be living in a trailer park right now. And her only dating prospect would be Danny de Vito or…Jack Black.
Run Josh, run. Go puke in the toilets and RUN!!! Why can't you go for a hot chick like Vanessa Marcil? Do you have a fetish for aging, disgusting women?
What did trannies ever do to *you*, Mister Author Person?
Looks like she's got a hormone problem. Women like her are hornier than rats in heat. I'd definitely let her slobber over my limp dick after smoking some crystal.
lawl #110.
She has a nice body but her face is, ugh…
Why would you say the Fergie's a tranny
god she's ugly…maybe she should start doing duets with rupaul..
She would still get boned! With a bag over her head, but meh them hips mmmm…damn!
She is the best!!! No matter what the hell think some people!!! These obviosly aren´t her best photos but when she wants to be pretty, she is more beautiful than Britney Spears!!!
What the heck? That doesn't look anything like her. What did they do to her face???
Oh, that's sad. I hadn't seen a Fergie photo in years. The second pic is kind of the way Boy George looks now. I love "The E.N.D." but didn't really catch any photos of her without makeup. She's got monster hands. This is exactly what happened to Kathleen Turner. She was hot decades ago, but quickly eroded into a monstrous tranny-looking thing.

My name is Noreyana Fernando and I am a Pre-med Journalism major with minors in French and Chemistry at Ithaca College. I hail from Colombo, Sri Lanka, where I started my career as a journalist when I interned for one year with Newsfirst, Sri Lanka in 2011.
I started off at Ithaca College as a Biochemistry major but a semester later, I transferred into Ithaca College's esteemed Journalism program. I indulged in print, broadcast (radio and TV) and online journalism and such involvements played a significant role in my decision to join the journalism program.
During my freshman year, I was a staff writer for The Ithacan, the newspaper run by the Roy H. Park School that was named the best non-daily student paper in the country for 2011 by the Society of Professional Journalists. I also worked for WICB and VIC, the college-run radio stations. I started off my sophomore year joining the executive board of WICB as their Assistant News Director.
During my freshman year, I also I worked as an assistant producer reporter for ICTV's Newswatch16. Through my work at Newswatch16, I interviewed and worked with people from all walks of life, from apple farmers to notable politicians.

The National Coalition Building Institute (NCBI) is an internationally recognized organization dedicated to eliminating prejudice and intergroup conflict throughout the world. Founded in 1984 it has grown to include college/university and community based chapters both in the United States, Canada and Europe.
NCBI features two (2) award-winning workshops.
While many workshops that address diversity on campuses exist, NCBI is the only known organization that has built a model, replicated it on 65 campuses, and tested it extensively."
-- U.S. Department of Education National Evaluation PanelRecognizing NCBI as a "BEST PRACTICE" (1999)
Train the Trainer (three day workshop) -- Learn to present the award winning Prejudice Reduction Workshop and the Controversial Issues Resolution Process when announced. Enrollment is limited so apply early when available.
Welcoming Diversity / Prejudice Reduction Workshop (one day) -- Shows how participants have been taught to think and act as members of their racial, gender, and other identity groups and provides skills for bridging differences. This workshop consists of a series of incremental, experiential activities that helps participants:
Controversial Issues Process (one day) -- Demonstrates a method for assisting diverse groups to work together even in tough, emotionally-charged conflicts.
"NCBI successfully captured the attention of personnel by demonstrating that diversity is an important part of communication and team function that extends far beyond issues relating to sex, religion, and race. Your training approach provided information and knowledge without creating defensiveness or guilt."
--John Montenero,Former Fire Chief of Monterey, California
NCBI operates on core principles that frame and direct the work of each workshop. These principles are the foundation upon which the successful copyrighted NCBI model is built. The six point theory behind the model is led by the belief #1 which states that "Guilt is the glue that holds prejudice in place." The core principles of the National Coalition Building Institute are;
Every issue counts. NCBI addresses a wide range of diversity issues in the course of its programs, including race, ethnicity, gender, socioeconomic class, age, sexual orientation, religion, disability, and job and life circumstance. Prejudice and discrimination cannot be eliminated in one area while continuing to exist in another.
Personal stories change attitudes. Listening to accounts of discrimination can impart a new perspective on how devastating the impact and move people with racist and other prejudicial attitudes to become allies of those they have mistreated.
Eliminating mistreatment means ending "leadership oppression." Leaders often experience isolation and a lack of support, sometimes bordering on abuse. NCBI trains them to handle conflict and respond effectively to attacking behaviors. Everyone is taught respect and appreciation for leaders and their efforts, especially when disagreeing with them. Well-supported leaders are more likely to be a source of sound policies.
"Congratulations to you and to NCBI for wining the silver award in the British Diversity Awards. Fighting prejudice is a critical part of building healthy and inclusive communities and I am pleased that NCBI's valuable and innovative work to tackle racism and other forms of discrimination has been recognized."
--The Right Honorable Tony Blair, M.P.,Prime Minister of the United Kingdom
