Guided by the motto "Nothing stops a bullet like a job," Jobs for a Future provides a range of services to help young men and women find employment, including job placement, counseling, community service opportunities and tattoo removal services. Homeboy Industries is the economic development branch of the organization, in which gang members work side by side in the program's bakery, graffiti removal patrol, and silkscreen and merchandise ventures.

It's beginning to smell a lot like Jambalaya!
POSTED: Thursday, August 23, 2012 - 11:00am
UPDATED: Thursday, August 23, 2012 - 11:04am
BATON ROUGE, LA (NBC33) — Roughly 700 lbs of rice and 1,000 lbs of meat are currently simmering in pots at the ExxonMobile Refinery. No, it's not some weird experiment for alternative fuel – it's part of the annual Jambalaya Cook-Off to benefit the Capital Area United Way.
Roughly 54 cooking teams will serve up their best batch of jambalaya tomorrow, Friday, Aug. 24, to judges. They're competing with the hopes of being named top chef! Judges include chefs, restaurant owners and other friends, as well as NBC33's Chief Meteorologist Jesse Gunkel!
Along with raising fund and eating some great food, the event serves as a fundraising effort. Last year's event raised a total of $1.5 million for the Capital Area United Way. The donations represented nearly 15 percent of the non-profit organization's fundraising campaign for the year.
Now in its 23rd year, the Jambalaya Cook-Off is a way for current and former employees to reconnect and spend some time with family. Guest speakers include retired BRPD police chief Jeff LeDuff and Mayor Kip Holden.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) - Nokia (NOK - Get Report) shares are little changed during Tuesday trading, as the eagerly-anticipated Lumia 900 phone draws closer to going on sale.
Nokia is making a major bet to get back to relevance in consumers' minds with its latest smartphone offering, which is powered by Microsoft's (MSFT) Windows operating system.
The Lumia was first announced at the 2012 Consumer Electronics Show. Nokia is increasingly focused on regaining market share in China, as it tries to fend off Apple (AAPL) and Google (GOOG). According to research firm Gartner, Nokia had 19.6% of the Chinese handset market at the end of the fourth quarter, as Samsung has surpassed it, with a 24.3% share.
The Lumia will be available on the AT&T (T) network exclusively in the U.S, and will be available through China Telecom (CHA) in China.
TheStreet will have a review of the Lumia 900 late on Tuesday. Shares of Nokia are flat on the day, trading at $5.47. Shares are up 13.5% year-to-date. Check out our new tech blog, Tech Trends.

While most people only believe that window shutters can keep too much light from entering a room and help with privacy, in addition to adding an attractive look to a house they haven't done their homework because they don't have all the facts. And one of the facts is that they are valuable for several reasons that make including them in a home not only important for how they look but also because they can help save money. If you're not already aware of that, you should be along with other considerations which include:
Window shutters can be instrumental in saving homeowners money.
The answer is that along with adding an attractive touch to the windows in a home, they can also help reduce heating and cooling costs by as much as 35 percent. Shutters are also important when it comes to selling a home because everything has to look just right and something as simple as shutters can add the perfect look to any home décor
There's more to only deciding that window shutters are needed in a home. This is because it's also important to purchase them from a dealer that is known for a wide selection, quality craftsmanship and reliable customer service. And those looking for window treatments can have that when they trust Danmer Custom Shutters. Why is Danmer an ideal provider? Take a few minutes to visit their Web site at
and you will soon understand why
It doesn't matter if window shutters are needed for a kitchen, bedroom, living area, bathroom, dining area, children's play space or other locations, because Danmer is the perfect provider every time. And because they can offer customers with shutters in different styles and designs, it only makes sense to use them. No one wants their walls to be dull or have carpet and drapes that are ugly because they need them to be an addition to their house. That logic also extends to shutters that are functional and attractive
Cost is also important when buying window shutters. Yes, everyone wants the most dependable and best looking shutters, but the price is also important and this is never a problem with Danmer because they are committed to providing their customers with the best products at reasonable prices
Danmer provides customers with window shutters that are beautiful, dependable, and affordable. The answer is the experience they have gained serving customers since 1976. They not only provide a warranty on shutters, the warranty is transferable to future homeowners because wood and synthetic shutters are guaranteed to last a lifetime.

The top part is Astrophytum myriostigma. I don't know what it is grafted on. In the spring, you could cut off the Astro, and grow it on its own roots, if you like. It likes a lot of sun, and very dry conditions. |

Community Advocacy Tender - St Mungos looking for partners
Dear colleague
St Mungo's is scoping out our ability to deliver a Community Advocacy Service with partners as part of a current tender process.
The service being commissioned will:
- Focus on early access for people who do not meet critical and substantial Fair Access to Care Services (FACS) criteria.
- Facilitate self-help and early intervention by promoting effective access to support services.
- Operate as an umbrella service to provide the widest reach, promote social inclusion, equity and high quality services across all communities, monitoring uptake of the service by cultural diversity group and client group.
The Advocacy Service will be provided to residents aged 18 years of age or over, their families and carers who need additional advice and representation to that which is generally available. It will also help service users and carers to navigate self-directed care and have satisfactory problem resolution.
We are very interested in hearing from partners who could support us to deliver an innovative service under a spot purchasing arrangement and would very much like to hear back from you. If you are interested in this opportunity to either create a new service or expand your existing services. Please fill out this short survey that is attached http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/MRL2VLC by 12pm Friday 02nd March 2012.
By completing the survey we will presume you are willing for us to include you in our tender document and if we are successful you will have capacity to commence delivery of the service from October 2012.

I know this is not really a ginger, but I figured that the people here could probably help me the best. I saw this plant growing at Peckerwood Gardens in Hempstead, and it was thriving, and according to them it is the oldest perrenial in thier garden. I got one last year, and thank goodness I took some cuttings, because only the cuttings survived. The original plant croaked. What I want to know is if anyone can give me some advice on where to plant this plant? Has anyone had long term success with this one? I live in NOrth HOuston Tx, almost in zone 8b. This I have two of these plants growing in 3 gallon container and I want to put atleast one of them in the ground. I guess I should email Peckerwood/Yuccado too, and ask them for advice. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I live in zone 8B an dthey are hardy here, come back every year, have survived many years of winters down to 20F. North Houston doesn't get any colder than we do, but your winters are wetter. Maybe its rotting in the wet cold. |

ive been growing it in central alabama for many years. in fact, i know of plantings older than mine......over 20 years. from my experience, it seems to prefer somewhat shady, rich, moist, well-drained soil. i mulch in the winter....but im colder here in northern zone 8a. |

Bible in Basic English (BBE) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem. | 1 The words of the Teacher, son of David, king in Jerusalem: |
2 All is to no purpose, said the Preacher, all the ways of man are to no purpose. | 2 "Meaningless! Meaningless!" says the Teacher. "Utterly meaningless! Everything is meaningless." |
3 What is a man profited by all his work which he does under the sun? | 3 What does man gain from all his labor at which he toils under the sun? |
4 One generation goes and another comes; but the earth is for ever. | 4 Generations come and generations go, but the earth remains forever. |
5 The sun comes up and the sun goes down, and goes quickly back to the place where he came up. | 5 The sun rises and the sun sets, and hurries back to where it rises. |
6 The wind goes to the south, turning back again to the north; circling round for ever. | 6 The wind blows to the south and turns to the north; round and round it goes, ever returning on its course. |
7 All the rivers go down to the sea, but the sea is not full; to the place where the rivers go, there they go again. | 7 All streams flow into the sea, yet the sea is never full. To the place the streams come from, there they return again. |
8 All things are full of weariness; man may not give their story: the eye has never enough of its seeing, or the ear of its hearing. | 8 All things are wearisome, more than one can say. The eye never has enough of seeing, nor the ear its fill of hearing. |
9 That which has been, is that which is to be, and that which has been done, is that which will be done, and there is no new thing under the sun. | 9 What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun. |
10 Is there anything of which men say, See, this is new? It has been in the old time which was before us. | 10 Is there anything of which one can say, "Look! This is something new"? It was here already, long ago; it was here before our time. |
11 There is no memory of those who have gone before, and of those who come after there will be no memory for those who are still to come after them. | 11 There is no remembrance of men of old, and even those who are yet to come will not be remembered by those who follow. |
12 I, the Preacher, was king over Israel in Jerusalem. | 12 I, the Teacher, was king over Israel in Jerusalem. |
13 And I gave my heart to searching out in wisdom all things which are done under heaven: it is a hard thing which God has put on the sons of men to do. | 13 I devoted myself to study and to explore by wisdom all that is done under heaven. What a heavy burden God has laid on men! |
14 I have seen all the works which are done under the sun; all is to no purpose, and desire for wind. | 14 I have seen all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind. |
15 That which is bent may not be made straight, and that which is not there may not be numbered. | 15 What is twisted cannot be straightened; what is lacking cannot be counted. |
16 I said to my heart, See, I have become great and am increased in wisdom more than any who were before me in Jerusalem--yes, my heart has seen much wisdom and knowledge. | 16 I thought to myself, "Look, I have grown and increased in wisdom more than anyone who has ruled over Jerusalem before me; I have experienced much of wisdom and knowledge." |
17 And I gave my heart to getting knowledge of wisdom, and of the ways of the foolish. And I saw that this again was desire for wind. | 17 Then I applied myself to the understanding of wisdom, and also of madness and folly, but I learned that this, too, is a chasing after the wind. |
18 Because in much wisdom is much grief, and increase of knowledge is increase of sorrow. | 18 For with much wisdom comes much sorrow; the more knowledge, the more grief. |

El Paso, TX (KTSM) — According to El Paso police, a man who was allegedly kidnapped has been found with his family in Mexico.
Luis Rodriguez, ,45, was last heard from on Thursday, July 18th, when he sent a text message to a friend saying he was being held and his captors were demanding money.
His truck was later found abandoned.
According to police, they are waiting until Rodriguez is back in the U.S. to clear the case, because until then he is still considered a missing person.
Police say they are currently trying to learn more about his disappearance.

I went to my doctor yesterday for some relief from hot flashes and night sweats. She said I could try a low dose HRT (Prempro), an anti-depressant (Effexor), a sleep aid (Ambien) or nothing. After all was said and done, I opted for the HRT Prempro, but got "cold feet" today after reading about side effects, especially weight gain. I've already gained 20 lbs. in the past three years and don't relish gaining any more. I also have high cholestrol despite taking Vitorin and exercising. My question - should I just "tough it out" with the hot flashes/night sweats? Any advice or just sympathy would be appreciated. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I took Effexor years and years ago without feeling any different than before I took it. So, I quit that anti-depressant after 5 or 6 months. I took Ambien last year for two months. Talk about weight gain. I would wake up three or four times a night, walk down the stairs into the kitchen and find something to eat. I would then bring it back up to my room and consume it in the dark, in bed. The scary thing was that at least half the time I never even knew what I was doing. Only when I discovered wrappers, and empty yogurt containers did I realize that I must have been on a nightly binge. Have never taken any HRT (my sister died of breast cancer), however, I have been taking over-the-counter Estroven. I really can't tell if it does much good physically, but psychology I think it does. My sympathy is with you!!! |

Denise54 ... I've am there right with you. I was on Prempro for a couple of years and its the ONLY thing that worked but I have a history of family breast cancer so went off about 2 years ago. Since then its been Hell. I agree with ZoeZoe on Ambien that you can sleep walk and never know it. Lastly I was given samples of Effexor XL but after reading so many horrible stories about it I never took it. I've tried everything from A to Z in the herbal department and nothing ever worked. I have a link on here asking about Effexor that you should read. I just gave up and now deal with them the best way that I can. I literally change nightgowns 2-3 times a night from the sweats. I don't remember gaining weight on Prempro & I certainly would go back on it if I could. If you have no family history of breast cancer then I would try it but one always has to weigh the pros and cons for HRT. Good Luck |
Before I found the right medicine for me doc wanted me to try Effexor. I hated it, made me unhappy and sweaty and this was before menopause. Everyone's system is different though. It seems like doctor's want to hand out AD quite frequently when some don't even need it. I feel your hell. I've been on Celexa or Paxil for 10+ years and progesterone cream. Nothing is working now and if I thought I would have to endure 10 yrs. of menopause, well I don't want to go there. Best of luck to you! |
EFFEXOR ALERT! A couple of years ago my niece started taking Effexor and she told me how wonderful it was. So I talked to my doctor and she prescribed it. After several months of taking it, my niece decided she would try life without it. She called me, miserably dizzy, and said she felt like she was on a rocking boat, nauseated, so dizzy she couldn't stand up. Uh oh. But I decided I'd better get off Effexor as well. I stocked up on Dramamine, etc. to ward off the dizziness, and sure enough, it was horrible for about a month. I had noticed when I was taking Effexor that if I just even missed a dose I would start getting dizzy. I'm talking, not just a bit dizzy. I'm talking about SICK dizzy. I'm sure this isn't the same for everyone, but it was enough for me. Anytime any of my friends mention the possibility of taking the dang stuff I have a fit. Just thought I'd put in my 2 cents worth! I'm new to the forum and I'm basically looking for hot flash relief! |
If you Google Ambien there is info on there about "sleepwalking" while on it. It is not uncommon. One of the common things to do while sleepwalking on it, is to eat. Some patients even reported driving while on it. There is also a lot of info about Effexor withdrawal. This stuff sounds very scary. I would never take the stuff no matter how many brochures the doctor threw at me. |
I've started the "combipatch" (brand name... made by Novartis) according to the OB it's the lowest dosage HRT on the market... start with a low dosage and move up after a few months if sysmptoms do't lessen to satisfaction is what the OB had to say... after a month the night sweats have stopped, I wake up multiple times per night, but go back to sleep with no problem... so far NO weight gain... and I am watching since it's a known HRT side effect that I really don't want.... |
What I was always curious about was, what is it in these hormones that causes the weight gain? |
- Posted by gardener64 (My Page) on Wed, Apr 4, 07 at 11:13
Be very careful with HRT any cancer in your family and you can risk a better chance of breast cancer, I have chosen nothing and take the chance of sleepless nights changing but at least I'll have years to come to make up for it. so i choose NOthing |
my "new" ob was involved in the rcent hrt study that hit the press today.... FWIW I have 0 history of any cancer in my family or heart disease, or blood clotting, or anything the studies report on... plus in the original study the women were in the 60+ age bracket and their reported cases moved from 11 in 10,000 to 17 in 10,000.... this is hardly a significant increase in statistical terms,although I'm the first to admit that for those 6 women it certainly WAS signifcant... The "new" wisdom on this is that if you start the therapy earliler in life and then "wean" off it after a handful of years, you should achieve comfort in the "hard" years of menopause and then come down gradually from the hormones and fade into life without them..... For the major change the lowest dose possible has made in my personal life... I'm willing to take that 0.06 percent increased risk of medical problems... this is way less than the 70-80% chance I had of conceiving a child with a MAJOR birth defect.... and I willing took that risk! (I do have a family history of that... a BIG history) |
When the time comes, I definitely want HRT. I'm also willing to take the risk. |
hello, i am reponsing to the people who use effexor. I was given 37.5 mg of effexor last week. My doctor has told me she has great results for hot flashes with this. She said you also dont need alot to control the body temp. I can tell you one thing i am cold.I have had one small hot flash today and last night my night sweats were better than before. I also do not want to eat!! Can anyone tell me if this worked for you, how long did it take to kick in. My doctor told me it takes three weeks to get the full result. |
I just started Activella two weeks ago. Anyone know how long it will take before it kicks in? |
- Posted by Nell(email@example.com) onSat, Jan 22, 11 at 19:02
I took Effexor for 10-12 years. I began to have problems with eye/brain coordination and decided to wean off it. My doctor just side-stepped the issue each time I mentioned my problem. After finding a blog about the drug, I had my answer. I took the capsule apart. It had 360 granules. The first night I removed three, the second 6, the 3rd 9 until after about 4 months I was home free. Never had one bad side-effect. I couldn't believe it, after reading about the hell everyone went though trying to kick it. |

i was going through very bad menopause, couldn't get out of bed many days, very bad anxiety tried every natural remedy, then every antidepressant, nothing worked. went on prempro within a week i was back to myself and all symptoms gone. miracle drug, i reccommend it highly!!! |
Neurontin helps hot flashes. It's not an anti-depressant, it's actually (originally) an anti-seizure drug. But it's used for lots of things now. I was prescribed it originally for restless leg syndrome. It's available as a generic, so cheap. I am on Tamoxifen, for breast cancer, which causes hot flashes to ramp up a lot. But as long as remember to take the Neurontin, it's much better. Also, taking fish oil helps too. |
Just tough it out. It's not a terminal illness and it will pass one day. My instinct told me that Premarin was dangerous back when it was being touted as the best drug in the world. The doc gave me about 10 brochures praising the product and only one said proven to help and that was for Osteo. And I know most people don't believe this but it is true, any "natural" substance is just as dangerous. If it cures the problems it is somehow triggering hormones or giving them to you. |
Woah! 20 lbs. in the past three years is no joke. You should be paying attention of your menopause symptoms. A friend of mine stopped HRT and took the advice of taking herbal products instead to eliminate menopause weight gain. It was really effective and lost weight within 6 weeks. |

Your article is also critical of a $600 million plan to bring renewable supplies to the county through conjunctive use of surface and groundwater. This is a long-term plan to bring an additional 60,000 acre-feet of supply into the county and to eliminate long-term depletions in the groundwater. The plan and its funding would be implemented over perhaps a fifty-year period, and costs would be shared among as many as 235,000 taps. This level of investment is not overly burdensome when compared to the investment made for water supply by any of the major municipal suppliers.

Home Run
This letter is in response to the articles by Michelle Dally Johnston in the February 14 issue. The author did a remarkable job of addressing several issues that are critical to children, especially children in foster care. In "Home Again, Home Again," she demonstrated that the major flaws in the system lie in the foundation upon which it is built more so than with the specific agencies or people charged with interpreting and utilizing it. In "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," she reminded us that confidentiality is something to be respected, not hidden behind.
Like so many others, there was a time when I viewed the role of foster parents to be much like that of a babysitter. Gradually, I began to realize that the original perceptions of my role could not have been further from the truth. Simple decisions became major ordeals, and every day brought at least one new challenge I was sure I couldn't meet. In retrospect, I am sure that without the support and accessibility of my workers, I would have quit. Instead, I evolved. In addition to providing me with a strong skill base, the more than 500 hours of training (including laboratory activities) enlightened me to the plight of foster parents everywhere. The laws and policies governing the foster-care system basically require that we be given the responsibilities of parenting without enough authority to do so. The public must remember that foster parents volunteer to bring the children of strangers into their homes, and by doing so, they are often placing themselves (and their families) at risk.
Recognizing the need for change, the Fostering Families Coalition was established. Together with our local foster parent association, the coalition has presented several of our concerns and ideas to the administration in Adams County. In my capacity as a foster parent and director of the coalition, I have been called upon to play many different roles: advisor, counselor, sounding board, facilitator, diplomat, mentor, teacher, nurse and friend, to name a few. But perhaps the most important yet difficult role of all is the one I play today: an advocate.
Crystal Green
Congratulations to Michelle Dally Johnston. I cannot express how on-target she is in identifying and reporting the tragic problems with the social services system and how it affects children in care.
Johnston's article touches on some of the retaliation I endured in my efforts to advocate for better decision-making concerning abused and neglected children. The charges against me were completely dismissed on all counts. As for the state's child-abuse registry, one allegation was expunged, and I have requested a hearing before an administrative law judge to conclude the rest. The courts do not put you on the registry; social services does--and the director of the registry bases his decision on the information social services gives him. They write down whatever they want and send it to the director; your name goes on, and you have no input. Due process was never in their vocabulary. And without that, how just are they?
Society needs to become more aware of the system and the fact that there is virtually no accountability when it comes to social services officials and their decision-making. Who do they help? Who do they destroy, and why? I lost two children I hoped to adopt, as well as over $30,000 in legal fees, because of their non-accountability. Citizens need to know and demand answers.
Lynette Newton
Kimball, Nebraska
Many thanks for Michelle Johnston's articles, which are the best I've seen about the pain children in the child-welfare system endure.
A few follow-up notes: Social workers quoted in the story cite what they consider "cultural bias" when foster parents advocate on behalf of a child. Yet most foster parents' advocacy has nothing to do with whether a child's family has money. The child can live in a tent or a car, as long as he or she is fed, kept warm, loved and protected. Too often, these things are not offered by biological parents, whose wells of need are too deep for them to ever care for themselves, much less their children.
Unfortunately, retaliation against foster parents happens, and often. I hear of at least three to five new incidents each week from foster parents in this state. Until I became witness to the Newton retaliation, I did not believe that families were falsely accused. I continue to be amazed at the power wielded by counties. They are accountable to no one.
Until we stop rewarding poor practice with funding, children's pain will continue. Taxpayers need to insist on accountability for their dollars spent.

Once again, I got sidetracked while researching articles for information on the farmers markets. But this time, it's for a really good, albeit heartbreaking, cause. The Loudoun-Times Mirror is running an article about a 5K being planned to benefit Kailee Vance, a 6-year-old Ashburn girl with a rare form of cancer called rhabdomyosarcoma . A family friend is organizing the event, which is planned for May 10th. To find out more, visit http://web.mac.com/lilleyca/Site/Kailees_Run.html. If you're not the 5K type but would still like to help, you can donate by visiting http://active.com/donate/Kailee.

There are basically two different versions of this Lunar calendar: the Beth-Luis-Nion (which begins on the Winter Solstice) and the Beth-Luis-Fearn (which begins on Samhain).

Ever since my friend Liz Egan told me about this lunchbox ritual a few months ago, I've been dying to have her write about it for you. Please welcome longtime magazine editor (currently on the books beat at Glamour), newly minted novelist (look for her first book, A Window Opens, spring 2016) and one of the more lovable "insane moms" I know. Thanks Liz! – Jenny
I'll begin with the obvious: packing school lunches is tedious, thankless, repetitive (but never meditative) and always a little disgusting. To this day, when I take a whiff of an empty Thermos, I experience a wave of morning sickness so strong, I forget that my final baby is not only fully gestated, she is now in her first week of second grade.
For years, my husband was the lunch chef, bringing a short-tempered, short order flair to the operation. When I gave him a year's furlough as a gift for his 39th birthday, he acted like I had given him tickets for the Cavs season opener; meanwhile, I reminded myself of a know-it-all mom from a 1980s laundry detergent commercial. Make way for the real expert.
Two of our three kids immediately aired serious grievances about my lunches: "Daddy knows I like my roll-up with the salami on the outside" and "Mom? FYI? I prefer macaroni in the shape of Arthur." Our youngest didn't even bother with low ratings; her feedback came home in the most literal form: an untouched lunch. Only eight days into the gulag of matching lids to containers, locating absent water bottles and haphazardly sorting everything into the correct Built bag, I gave up. My husband returned to the cutting board, smugly slicing Granny Smiths with the fancy knife I offered as a gift in lieu of my catering services. (more…)

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Cinema!
Facts about Cinema
- Breed: Calico
- Color: Calico Or Dilute Calico
- Age: Young
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Long
Cinema's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Hi, my name is Cinema. I am a strikingly beautiful long-haired calico female, who was born approx. May 2011, so I am still a young and playful cat! I had been fed outside as a stray by a Billerica resident for about a year and a half, when one chilly spring evening, I begged to be let inside. I insisted upon being let inside. I demanded to be let inside! Finally, my benefactress let me in, and when she woke next morning... surprise! She found that I had delivered four beautiful babies during the night. This story illustrates that I am highly intelligent too!
I have lived in foster care since mid-April 2013 where I raised my kittens. They have all since been adopted. I share my foster home with many young children and I am particularly fond of them. I would make a great cat for a young family, and I like dogs, too! I am a good friend and an easy keeper.
Please check out my FBF (foster best friend), ThingTwo. She is a kitten who came into my foster home in July. I consider her my "new baby." Together, we would make fine feline friends for your family! I am spayed, up-to-date on shots, FIV/FeLV negative and free of parasites.
Please note: All cats and kittens require an on-line adoption application be completed and sent BEFORE consideration for adoption can take place. On-line applications at www.billericacatcarecoalition.org
Other Pets at Billerica Cat Care Coalition
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Cinema, a N. Billerica Calico cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Calico for sale in N. Billerica, or seeking a Calico cat from a breeder in N. Billerica.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in N. Billerica already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a N. Billerica breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Calico breeders who help with Calico rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in N. Billerica paves the way for another one to be saved.

LAGOS, Nigeria (AP) — Known for bringing in celebrities and smiling in photographs next to former Western leaders, a flamboyant Nigerian newspaper publisher now faces a challenge from his most vocal critics — his own employees.
Workers have barricaded the front of ThisDay newspapers in Lagos, hoping to force publisher Nduka Obaigbena into paying them as much as four months' worth of back salaries due to them.
Back pay disputes often hit industries in Nigeria, a country where steady paying jobs remain few, but this crisis has hit a man politically connected to the nation's ruling elite, the second such major business figure to be stung in recent months.

A Plus Warehouse is a master dealer for KingCab – the best producer of high quality, all welded 12 Gauge mobile computer carts and mobile carts. KingCab makes custom mobile carts to your desire. Let's say you need removable bins in your cart, and also want floor locks because your floor isn't level. These custom mobile cart features are simple to add. There is no minimum order for custom mobile carts. We will gladly produce one or two, if that is what is required to satisfy our valued customer. Why should you order mobile computer carts from an industrial distributor like A Plus Warehouse?
This is a fine question. Office product super-stores do a great job providing decent quality product to the masses at low price points. This works out well for many consumers. However, in the industrial space, companies demand more of their mobile cabinets – and there is no comparison between a 12 gauge mobile cart and consumer grade 20 gauge mobile carts. Mobile storage carts are a staple of A Plus Warehouse, and we provide our fine product nationwide – as well as internationally.
If you need the BEST mobile computer cart, we suggest the ever popular deluxe mobile computer cabinets by KingCab. Whatever mobile storage cart you need, A Plus Warehouse can help.
Customers know us as a distributor for conveyors, casters, shelving, racks, plastic bins and safety equipment. We go far beyond that. Not only do we provide mobile computer carts by KingCab, but we also provide mobile storage carts by Lyons, Pucel, Parent Metal, Edsal, Sandusky and others. We have a great staff of salespeople with years of training that are cross trained across A Plus Warehouse's entire line. We also have product managers available when a salesperson is stumped by your custom mobile cart question. We have heard them all, or at least a lot of interesting questions. Mobile carts are a great item for A Plus Warehouse, as they sell themselves.
If you need a mobile storage cart, it is obvious that you do. Once you have come to the conclusion that you need one of our mobile storage carts, just come to our website with two pieces of information. Know the ideal size, and know the shelf capacity. If you want 2,000 pounds per shelf, you want our 12GA KingCabs. If you want 200-500 pounds per shelf, then any of our other lines will work fine for you. Finally, we strongly recommend pre-assembled or all welded units. Although customer assembly saves shipping and usually some money for the product, you should consider the labor and hassle of customer assembly. Unless you have a dedicated maintenance person, set up may well be the right option.
A Plus Warehouse is your mobile cart source, and we look forward to being of service to you.

which creepy guy? there are so many of them in btv. have we had this conversation before? now i'm so curious!!
i never realized how badly i need more voyage of the mimi references in my life. that shit is where i learned about phantom pains! remember that girl and her amputated leg?? and then in 6th grade the mimi came and docked in my town and all us girls were going BUCKWILD trying to sit on ben affleck's bunk. (which is sexy, nautical slang for "bed").
i am a brunette lady (FELLAS) whose father taught her to judge people based on their handshake. consequently my handshakes do NOT fuck around, and i often surprise men with my powerful, respect-demanding hand.
there is nothing worse than shaking hands with a man who gives you the little limp fish handshake because he thinks that women can't handle the power of a firm grip. go for it, men, we can take it.
i feel like i've been waiting my whole life to tell this tale. thanks so much for the outlet, kelly, you are a true jennifer lawrence.
when i was 9 i had a dream that i met sinbad in a park and we were on the jungle gym together and i took his picture because i knew that nobody would ever believe that i was hanging out with sinbad. and when i woke up in the morning i was SO depressed that it never happened and i had no photographic evidence of hanging out with sinbad, and i probably still haven't gotten over that disappointment, and i strongly believe it's shaped me into the person i am today. and i never told anybody about it, because, really, my subconscious? is sinbad the BEST you could drum up?? especially at the height of hanson-mania?? come on.
I work for the symphony in vermont and i have to admit i really kind of love it when somebody shows up in flannel, jeans, and boots (and, this being vermont, that happens frequently.) usually everybody is dressed pretty upscale to our concerts, but it's the best when there's some lady all decked out in her fanciest diamonds and her floor length mink, sitting right next to some guy who looks and smells like he literally just climbed off his tractor. WE'RE ALL JUST PEOPLE TRYING TO GET ALONG IN THIS CRAZY WORLD, AND ALSO MAYBE LISTEN TO SOME ELGAR AFTER A LONG DAY OF PLOWING WHEAT or whatever.
geeze, i guess i'm really getting the most out of "of whom you speak" in my interactions today.
i know exactly the person of whom you speak and he used to be a borders regular and would just buy coffee and scowl at people. charming gent.
as a fellow burlingtonion/worker-bee on church street, i am sooooo curious to know the identity of the troll of whom you speak. a description is required immediately, please.
I am currently having my own neighbor feud (they have so much loud sex, all of the sex, all of the noises, all of the time), and this morning my weapon of choice was playing the original soundtrack to Annie (pro tip: all of the songs can be easily found on YouTube or Spotify) at top volume through the wall. Nothing will temper boundless sexual energy like the shrill singing voices of children, and I'm assuming this will also work on weeknight parties. Go forth and conquer!
oh my co-worker has told me great thinks about sukhothai but ain't nobody got time to go to essex when tiny thai is mere yards away from my apartment.
which one? was it tiny thai i love tiny thai so much love is forever fan i love you
My heroic efforts to mobilize my co-workers to go home early (in the face of the blue skies and calm winds that Vermont is currently experiencing) failed. I will be going home at 5:00, as usual. Pray for me.
are you in the burlington area? we probably won't be hit until after 4 or 5, but i'm spreading misinformation around the office in an effort to go home an hour early. that would be the sweetest triumph of all. i'll keep you updated.
i was wondering that, myself! i almost googled "sidney applebaum" to see if it could've been a reference to anything else, but i didn't care enough. but i DID care enough to post this meaningless comment, so who even knows anymore. mondays, am i right?
ps- i hope you are out and enjoying the fantastic weather today. i work on church st and it is BUMPIN'.
who on earth is your landlord? i've had a few during my time here in burlington, and none of them every made me ice cream. one of the pervier ones used to just come in our house unannounced to "check the windows" during summer months, but that's not even remotely close to bacon and whiskey. what's your secret???? #vermonstersunite!
buddy garrity + heapin' dose of hamm + zou bisou bisou + roadhouse x perd hapley = a pretty great thursday night.
other perks of going to the movies alone: you might get offered a doobie by some random dude, and then later you can give him a handjob.
@Kate Schmidt young padawan, the secret is laying it flat next to your plate, and using your cell-phone to keep those pesky pages in check.
high-five for anti-social eaters!
there is no better dining experience than sitting solo in a mexican restaurant eating tacos and drinking beer while reading your way through the "song of ice and fire" series. "Salsa is Coming," amiright?
if you ever went to the borders on church street, you already know the answer to this question. we were drunk/stoned every single day. hurrah!
Woof. Neglecting to follow the rules is cool, too. Trying this one again.

Synthetic scaffolds that permit spatial and temporal organization of enzymes in living cells are a promising post-translational strategy for controlling the flow of information in both metabolic and signaling pathways. Here, we describe the use of plasmid DNA as a stable, robust and configurable scaffold for arranging biosynthetic enzymes in the cytoplasm of Escherichia coli. This involved conversion of individual enzymes into custom DNA-binding proteins by genetic fusion to zinc-finger domains that specifically bind unique DNA sequences. When expressed in cells that carried a rationally designed DNA scaffold comprising corresponding zinc finger binding sites, the titers of diverse metabolic products, including resveratrol, 1,2-propanediol and mevalonate were increased as a function of the scaffold architecture. These results highlight the utility of DNA scaffolds for assembling biosynthetic enzymes into functional metabolic structures...
TAL nucleases (TALNs): hybrid proteins composed of TAL effectors and FokI DNA-cleavage domain
Li, T; Huang, S; Jiang, WZ; Wright, D; Spalding, MH; Weeks, DP; Yang, B
Nucleic Acids Res. (2011) 39 (1): 359-372
Free Full Text
DNA double-strand breaks enhance homologous recombination in cells and have been exploited for targeted genome editing through use of engineered endonucleases. Here we report the creation and initial characterization of a group of rare-cutting, site-specific DNA nucleases produced by fusion of the restriction enzyme FokI endonuclease domain (FN) with the high-specificity DNA-binding domains of AvrXa7 and PthXo1. AvrXa7 and PthXo1 are members of the transcription activator-like (TAL) effector family whose central repeat units dictate target DNA recognition and can be modularly constructed to create novel DNA specificity. The hybrid FN-AvrXa7, AvrXa7-FN and PthXo1-FN proteins retain both recognition specificity for their target DNA (a 26 bp sequence for AvrXa7 and 24 bp for PthXo1) and the double-stranded DNA cleaving activity of FokI and, thus, are called TAL nucleases (TALNs). With all three TALNs, DNA is cleaved adjacent to the TAL-binding site under optimal conditions in vitro. When expressed in yeast, the TALNs promote DNA homologous recombination of a LacZ gene containing paired AvrXa7 or asymmetric AvrXa7/PthXo1 target sequences...
Modularly assembled designer TAL effector nucleases for targeted gene knockout and gene replacement in eukaryotes

Nucleic Acids Res. (2011) 39 (14): 6315-6325
Free Full Text
Recent studies indicate that the DNA recognition domain of transcription activator-like (TAL) effectors can be combined with the nuclease domain of FokI restriction enzyme to produce TAL effector nucleases (TALENs) that, in pairs, bind adjacent DNA target sites and produce double-strand breaks between the target sequences, stimulating non-homologous end-joining and homologous recombination. Here, we exploit the four prevalent TAL repeats and their DNA recognition cipher to develop a 'modular assembly' method for rapid production of designer TALENs (dTALENs) that recognize unique DNA sequence up to 23 bases in any gene. We have used this approach to engineer 10 dTALENs to target specific loci in native yeast chromosomal genes. All dTALENs produced high rates of site-specific gene disruptions and created strains with expected mutant phenotypes. Moreover, dTALENs stimulated high rates (up to 34%) of gene replacement by homologous recombination. Finally, dTALENs caused no detectable cytotoxicity and minimal levels of undesired genetic mutations in the treated yeast strains...
Modular control of multiple pathways using engineered orthogonal T7 polymerases
Temme, K; Hill, R; Segall-Shapiro, TH; Moser, F; Voigt, CA
Nucleic Acids Res. (2012) 40 (17): 8773-8781
Free Full Text
Synthetic genetic sensors and circuits enable programmable control over the timing and conditions of gene expression. They are being increasingly incorporated into the control of complex, multigene pathways and cellular functions. Here, we propose a design strategy to genetically separate the sensing/circuitry functions from the pathway to be controlled. This separation is achieved by having the output of the circuit drive the expression of a polymerase, which then activates the pathway from polymerase-specific promoters. The sensors, circuits and polymerase are encoded together on a 'controller' plasmid. Variants of T7 RNA polymerase that reduce toxicity were constructed and used as scaffolds for the construction of four orthogonal polymerases identified via part mining that bind to unique promoter sequences. This set is highly orthogonal and induces cognate promoters by 8- to 75-fold more than off-target promoters. These orthogonal polymerases enable four independent channels linking the outputs of circuits to the control of different cellular functions. As a demonstration, we constructed a controller plasmid that integrates two inducible systems...
Stimuli-responsive controlled-release system using quadruplex DNA-capped silica nanocontainers
Chen, CE; Pu, F; Huang, ZZ; Liu, Z; Ren, JS; Qu, XG
Nucleic Acids Res. (2011) 39 (4): 1638-1644
Free Full Text
A novel proton-fueled molecular gate-like delivery system has been constructed for controlled cargo release using i-motif quadruplex DNA as caps onto pore outlets of mesoporous silica nanoparticles. Start from simple conformation changes, the i-motif DNA cap can open and close the pore system in smart response to pH stimulus. Importantly, the opening/closing and delivery protocol is highly reversible and a partial cargo delivery can be easily controlled at will. A pH-switchable nanoreactor has also been developed to validate the potential of our system for on-demand molecular transport. This proof of concept might open the door to a new generation of carrier materials and could also provide a general route to use other functional nucleic acids/peptide nucleic acids as capping agents in the fields of versatile controlled delivery nanodevices.
Engineering synthetic TAL effectors with orthogonal target sites
Garg, A; Lohmueller, JJ; Silver, PA; Armel, TZ
Nucleic Acids Res. (2012) 40 (15): 7584-7595
Free Full Text
The ability to engineer biological circuits that process and respond to complex cellular signals has the potential to impact many areas of biology and medicine. Transcriptional activator-like effectors (TALEs) have emerged as an attractive component for engineering these circuits, as TALEs can be designed de novo to target a given DNA sequence. Currently, however, the use of TALEs is limited by degeneracy in the site-specific manner by which they recognize DNA. Here, we propose an algorithm to computationally address this problem. We apply our algorithm to design 180 TALEs targeting 20 bp cognate binding sites that are at least 3 nt mismatches away from all 20 bp sequences in putative 2 kb human promoter regions. We generated eight of these synthetic TALE activators and showed that each is able to activate transcription from a targeted reporter. Importantly, we show that these proteins do not activate synthetic reporters containing mismatches similar to those present in the genome nor a set of endogenous genes predicted to be the most likely targets in vivo. Finally, we generated and characterized TALE repressors comprised of our orthogonal DNA binding domains and further combined them with shRNAs...
Assembly of custom TALE-type DNA binding domains by modular cloning
Morbitzer, R; Elsaesser, J; Hausner, J; Lahaye, T
Nucleic Acids Res. (2011) 39 (13): 5790-5799
Free Full Text
Transcription activator-like effector (TALE) DNA binding proteins show tremendous potential as molecular tools for targeted binding to any desired DNA sequence. Their DNA binding domain consists of tandem arranged repeats, and due to this repetitive structure it is challenging to generate designer TALEs (dTALEs) with user-defined specificity. We present a cloning approach that facilitates the assembly of multiple repeat-encoding DNA fragments that translate into dTALEs with pre-defined DNA binding specificity. This method makes use of type IIS restriction enzymes in two sequential cut-ligase reactions to build dTALE repeat arrays. We employed this modular approach for generation of a dTALE that differentiates between two highly similar DNA sequences that are both targeted by the Xanthomonas TALE, AvrBs3. These data show that this modular assembly system allows rapid generation of highly specific TALE-type DNA binding domains that target binding sites of predefined length and sequence. This approach enables the rapid and flexible production of dTALEs for gene regulation and genome editing in routine and high-throughput applications.
Simplification of the genetic code: restricted diversity of genetically encoded amino acids

At earlier stages in the evolution of the universal genetic code, fewer than 20 amino acids were considered to be used. Although this notion is supported by a wide range of data, the actual existence and function of the genetic codes with a limited set of canonical amino acids have not been addressed experimentally, in contrast to the successful development of the expanded codes. Here, we constructed artificial genetic codes involving a reduced alphabet. In one of the codes, a tRNA(Ala) variant with the Trp anticodon reassigns alanine to an unassigned UGG codon in the Escherichia coli S30 cell-free translation system lacking tryptophan. We confirmed that the efficiency and accuracy of protein synthesis by this Trp-lacking code were comparable to those by the universal genetic code, by an amino acid composition analysis, green fluorescent protein fluorescence measurements and the crystal structure determination. We also showed that another code, in which UGU/UGC codons are assigned to Ser, synthesizes an active enzyme...
Chimeric TALE recombinases with programmable DNA sequence specificity
Mercer, AC; Gaj, T; Fuller, RP; Barbas, CF
Nucleic Acids Res. (2012) 40 (21): 11163-11172
Free Full Text
Site-specific recombinases are powerful tools for genome engineering. Hyperactivated variants of the resolvase/invertase family of serine recombinases function without accessory factors, and thus can be re-targeted to sequences of interest by replacing native DNA-binding domains (DBDs) with engineered zinc-finger proteins (ZFPs). However, imperfect modularity with particular domains, lack of high-affinity binding to all DNA triplets, and difficulty in construction has hindered the wide-spread adoption of ZFPs in unspecialized laboratories. The discovery of a novel type of DBD in transcription activator-like effector (TALE) proteins from Xanthomonas provides an alternative to ZFPs. Here we describe chimeric TALE recombinases (TALERs): engineered fusions between a hyperactivated catalytic domain from the DNA invertase Gin and an optimized TALE architecture. We use a library of incrementally truncated TALE variants to identify TALER fusions that modify DNA with efficiency and specificity comparable to zinc-finger recombinases in bacterial cells. We also show that TALERs recombine DNA in mammalian cells. The TALER architecture described herein provides a platform for insertion of customized TALE domains...
Gene targeting to the ROSA26 locus directed by engineered zinc finger nucleases
Perez-Pinera, P; Ousterout, DG; Brown, MT; Gersbach, CA
Nucleic Acids Res. (2012) 40 (8): 3741-3752
Free Full Text
Targeted gene addition to mammalian genomes is central to biotechnology, basic research and gene therapy. For example, gene targeting to the ROSA26 locus by homologous recombination in embryonic stem cells is commonly used for mouse transgenesis to achieve ubiquitous and persistent transgene expression. However, conventional methods are not readily adaptable to gene targeting in other cell types. The emerging zinc finger nuclease (ZFN) technology facilitates gene targeting in diverse species and cell types, but an optimal strategy for engineering highly active ZFNs is still unclear. We used a modular assembly approach to build ZFNs that target the ROSA26 locus. ZFN activity was dependent on the number of modules in each zinc finger array. The ZFNs were active in a variety of cell types in a time- and dose-dependent manner. The ZFNs directed gene addition to the ROSA26 locus, which enhanced the level of sustained gene expression, the uniformity of gene expression within clonal cell populations and the reproducibility of gene expression between clones. These ZFNs are a promising resource for cell engineering, mouse transgenesis and pre-clinical gene therapy studies...

New Treatment for Psoriasis Emerges
Posted: August 27, 2008
page 2 of 3
"It's really changed the way we can treat psoriasis," said Lawrence Green, MD, assistant professor of dermatology at George Washington University School of Medicine in Washington, D.C. "It really has made life much more tolerable for patients."
Psoriasis occurs when the body's immune system is somehow mistakenly triggered, which speeds up the growth cycle of skin cells, according to the National Psoriasis Foundation. Normal skin cells mature and fall off the body in 28 to 30 days. A psoriatic skin cell takes just three to four days to mature and move to the surface, and, instead of falling off, the cells pile up and form lesions. According to the National Institutes of Health, as many as 7.5 million Americans have psoriasis.
Biologics are made from human or animal proteins, and they treat psoriasis by going after the overactive immune cells causing the disease. "They are based on natural processes," Green said. "They're similar to chemicals or compounds we already have in our system. They help lessen immune responses. They help soak up or diminish the extra inflammatory compounds."
Currently, five biologics are approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for treatment of psoriasis, and three of those five are approved for psoriatic arthritis. Biologics are effective, and they also are more affordable than ultraviolet therapy, the other leading treatment for dealing with medium-to-severe cases of psoriasis, according to dermatologists.
Ultraviolet light kills the immune cells in the skin that are causing the problem, Cather said. The problem is, a person must come in three to five times a week for treatment, racking up hundreds of dollars in co-payments.

Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Daisey!
Facts about Daisey
- Breed: Shiba Inu/Basenji Mix
- Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn
- Age: Young
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Female
Daisey's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
OK we admit it, Daisey is probably neither of these breeds, but she looks like them & we honestly haven't a clue if there is a purebred anything in her recent family history. Daisey is a cute 25 lb or so girl. She has a fun personality. She walks well on a leash. She's unbelievably housebroken - never a mistake in her cage. She loves kids, cats & other dogs. She walked in the Christmas parade & was the hit of the day!

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Daisey, a Edgewater Shiba Inu/Basenji dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Shiba Inu/Basenji for sale in Edgewater, or seeking a Shiba Inu/Basenji dog from a breeder in Edgewater.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Edgewater already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Edgewater breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Shiba Inu/Basenji breeders who help with Shiba Inu/Basenji rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Edgewater paves the way for another one to be saved.

I once performed in a ballet called "C'est La Vie". This dance and famous french phrase that translates to "such is life", has become my lifelong repetoir. My approach to life is similar to the way of the french, going where the wind takes me and seizing every day with the "carpe diem" attitude for opportunity. I am a lover of all things food and wine, but wouldn't appreciate such passions without the spices of family and friends. With that, I have all the ingredients of a recipe for happiness.
I was born in Del Mar, CA and currently live in the beautiful Central Coast living and working in the wine and marketing business. I'd love to connect with you and share interests and a passion and fervor for life!
