Chromatin remodeling is central to the regulation of transcription elongation. We demonstrate that the conserved Saccharomyces cerevisiae histone chaperone Nap1 associates with chromatin. We show that Nap1 regulates transcription of PHO5, and the increase in transcript level and the higher phosphatase activity plateau observed for Deltanap1 cells suggest that the net function of Nap1 is to facilitate nucleosome reassembly during transcription elongation. To further our understanding of histone chaperones in transcription elongation, we identified factors that regulate the function of Nap1 in this process. One factor investigated is an essential mRNA export and TREX complex component, Yra1. Nap1 interacts directly with Yra1 and genetically with other TREX complex components and the mRNA export factor Mex67. Additionally, we show that the recruitment of Nap1 to the coding region of actively transcribed genes is Yra1 dependent and that its recruitment to promoters is TREX complex independent. These observations suggest that Nap1 functions provide a new connection between transcription elongation, chromatin assembly, and messenger RNP complex biogenesis.

FEAR OF THE DARK—How can I help my child to trust in God's care when she is afraid at night? Answer FEAR, Anxiety and Worry—What does the Bible say? Answer questions and answers about pParenting friendship rivalry / competition conspiracy greed corruption redemption
"We think they are scary, but really we scare them!" Probably every parent has helped their child through fearful times. Many of us can still remember when we had thoughts of boogymen under our bed. Even many older children still appreciate the comforts a night light offers. The problem for some parents is that no matter what, children can still be so easily convinced that there is something lurking! Various counseling resources I've read indicate that many parents ignore obvious contributors to the fear factor. I'm amazed at how many parents don't monitor what their children watch on television. And children who have a parent that works third shift or is involved in divorce, separation, or other conflict in the home can sometimes become frightened of an imaginary world of monsters due to the deeper problem of separation anxiety. But there is a "Monster Code of Ethics": Monsters cannot see you if you are in bed and under the covers. Some Web sites even sell various Monster Buster products—wands, or sprays. But I prefer using these moments of fear to reassure my son with scripture. Hebrews 4:13 declares "Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of Him to whom we must give account". In Revelation Jesus says, "I am He who searches hearts and minds." The bottom line is that we are not alone. I also recommend Psalm 139:1-6 and underscoring the truth that God's word declares that "perfect love casts out fear". "Monsters, Inc." can provide an opportunity to either have a discussions with your child about fears, or it could reinforce them (see my notes at the end). We live in a fearful world presently. Even adults today are anxious over monsters in the mailbox named "Anthrax". Thankfully, our monsters from Pixar are clever, funny, and in an energy crisis (huh?). Can you recall when rolling blackouts or paying more than $2.00 for a gallon of gasoline was our biggest fear? The theme is as familiar as giving personality to toys ("Toy Story") or bugs ("A Bug's Life"). Many of the gags in the film are parodies of our own world: the universe of Monstropolis has street sweepers depositing trash in their mouth, a slimy monster falls through the slats of a sidewalk gate, and monsters that use underarm deodorants such as "smelly garbage" or "old dumpster". Monstropolis is powered by children's screams, which are collected nightly in large yellow tanks. Sully (voice by John Goodman) is the monster team's leading scorer. He is about to break the all-time record. His friend and manager is Mike Wazowski (voice by Billy Crystal). Together they talk about everything from work to women. Mike's love interest happens to be a charmer (pun intended) named Celia (voice by Jennifer Tilly). The entire operation is overseen by Henry J. Waternoose (voice by James Coburn). The conflict in our story is not just the lack of energy, but a monster named Randall Boggs (voice by Steve Buscemi, who get to be creepy for the kids in this film and in "Domestic Disturbance" for adults all at the same time). Randall will go to any lengths to overtake Sully's scream totals, so he develops a scream extractor and plans to kidnap children and hold them for "screams". But monsters firmly believe that children are toxic. This is magnified in Monstropolis when a cute little girl named Boo (voice by 5 year old Mary Gibbs) stumbles into their world. Sully and Mike discover Boo and this sinister plot, teaming up to try and return Boo to her world. This conflict provides for the majority of the action and, of course, chase scenes. The computer generated graphics are amazing. The studios continue to improve this craft. Mike's eye looks very realistic and even Sully's fur blows in the wind. While I found nothing objectionable in this film, there is some caution to be had… namely that some younger children will become frightened (cries and screams could be heard in the theater). "Monsters, Inc." is rated "G", but there are many scenes that are way too intense for children 5 and under. I strongly recommend that for the little ones you wait for the video. The Veggie Tales video "Where's God When I'm S-Scared?" is a good supplement or alternative—which includes a cute story about Frankencelery in "Tales From the Crisper". If you have children that wrestle with things that go bump in the night—this film will probably not help much. One final note: "Shrek" moved their video release date to coincide with the wide screen release of "Monsters, Inc." The big difference between these two is that "Shrek" offends with innuendoes galore and "Monsters" does not. Comments below:
Positive—Monsters Inc. was a refreshing change of pace. I took both of my children, ages 9 and 7, and we all three enjoyed the show. We had so many favorite parts, it's hard to choose just one. I went expecting something to be slipped in on this G-rated movie, but was very surprised to not find any on our first go round. I would go see this movie again. The strong message that we received was that it is better to laugh than to scare. It really is a family movie that you can discuss family values after the show is over.
[Good / 5] —Pamela W., age 39 Positive—Ok… am I the only one that picked up the homosexual innuendos in this movie? I guess I just distrust Disney so much, that I look for them. Although, overall, the movie was fun (too scary for my 4 and 6-year old, though), it was very clear to me that Disney threw in a little "innuendo for thought" during the Abominable Snowman scene. The Snow Monster says something like, "Well, at least you're stranded here with your best friend." "he's not my friend!" says Sully. "Oh," says the Snow monster, while "twiddling" the top of one of the snow cones he was holding, "I just assumed you were, since you were rolling around like that in the snow…" He goes on to say that it's not so bad living in the snow, except when he has to "milk his yack," which is only a problem when "hairs get in your mouth…" Yuck. I think Disney owes us the respect of not sneaking comments like these into childrens' films.
[Better than Average / 5] —Cara, age 35 Positive—We took our kids to see this film last night, on the day it opened, and overall it was a very good experience. We did not have to worry about any offensive material, language, or violence (apart from the cartoonish sort). There was a lot of humor in it which was in good taste, which proves that you do not need to resort to bathroom humor to get a laugh. An excellent fantasy film with an imaginative and touching script, which can be enjoyed by ALL ages, whether you are 3 or 93. I have nothing bad to say about the film, and I hope that Hollywood gets the message and produces many more films such as this in the future.
[Good / 5] —Randy Thomson, age 33 Positive—For my 31st Birthday my wife and I went to see this movie. The movie was thoroughly enjoyable but it did have some scary scenes especially for smaller children. All in all a great experience. The effects were wonderful and the story truly outstanding. I got a few things out of the movie: 1) Sometimes the things that we are fearing aren't as daunting as we might think. 2) I would love to have a little daughter as cute as the character Boo. 3) I want to be a good Dad. I am sure other people will find other things for which to reflect about.
[Good / 5] —Michael and Heather Clarke, age 31, 26 Positive—Pixar continues to produce solid, clever, and laugh-out-loud funny movies with the release of Monsters, Inc. A large group of us from Patrick Henry College went and saw this movie and we enjoyed it greatly. Parents and kids will both appreciate this movie, though younger kids might find a few parts scary. The animation is spectacular and the monsters very imaginative, though some might take offense to the varied monster creations. As usual, there are inside jokes thrown in for the older crowd (I especially appreciated the "astronaut" feel when the "scarers" came striding out.), but the movie is also just generally funny and charming for all ages. Simple messages here such as friendship and "laughs are more powerful than screams" shine through, and I didn't pick up any of the usual Disney "spin". Kudos to Pixar!
[Better than Average / 4] —Matthew du Mée, age 19 Positive—This movie was one of the best I've seen all year. It had incredible animation, a wonderful cast, and as far as I could tell, was totally clean. The film was hilarious, though not quite as witty as "Toy Story". It was also quite moving (I cried.) I definitely recommend it.
[Good / 5] —Jessica, age 19 Positive—Opening weekend was sold out for both matinees and evenings; the theater manager acknowledged that the public is starved for G-rated films. There's a small amount of body function humor and some fighting and other conflict, but overall the effect of this film's clever premise might be to LESSEN kids' fears of monsters in the closet. For the older folks: some clever humor, some political satire, and obscure references (such as naming the monsters' restaurant after Ray Harryhausen, the 1950s-60s visual-effects wiz behind films like Jason and the Argonauts, The 7th Voyage of Sinbad, and The 3 Worlds of Gulliver). Most kids age 8 or 9 should be fine with the material; but there were some younger kids who had to be carried out screaming. Even G films are not necessarily for everyone these days.
[Better than Average / 4½] —Brett Willis, age 51 Positive—This movie was wonderful for all ages. My 8 year old and 4 year old enjoyed it as well as my husband and myself. It was funny and showed that things aren't always what they seem. The kids really laughed at how crazy these monsters are. There were a group of teenagers behind me who were raving about how good this movie was, so I say it is great for everyone from the young to the old. Nothing was offensive at all. A great family movie!
[Excellent! / 5] —Lisa Ridenour, age 31 Positive—I enjoyed this movie very much. I took my six year old son. He got a little restless but in general enjoyed it also. I would recommend this movie to everyone. Great message, great visual effects, wonderful concept.
[Good / 4½] —Lisa McCurdy, age 40 Positive—I think this is the BEST family movie I have seen all year. My 3 year old daughter and I went with some friends for a birthday of a 13 year old and her 18 year old sister. This was excellent for ALL ages. There was NOTHING objectionable in it and we are even planning on going back to see it again. …This movie had a great message, "Laughs are more powerful than Screams". This is also true in our lives. A family that laughs together is less likely to be screaming at each other.
[Good / 5] —Tina, age 30 Positive—This movie is refreshingly clean. I took my five year old and two year old to see it and they loved it. I couldn't think of a single negative thing to say about it. The characters (monsters) are endearing and lovable. You want to give them a big hug. The story line is easy to follow and great for any age group. I highly recommend it for family outings. Disney and Pixar make a great team. Can't wait to see what they come up with next!
[Good / 4½] —Carla, age 29 Positive—I found this movie to be amusing and entertaining. While the idea of monsters coming out of my child's closet concerned me, my apprehension was quickly abated by the carefully depicted plot of the film. …Despite the general concept, we see scaring of children only in the test lab on a dummy and by the bad guys a few times. Several scenes dealing with a machine that extracts screams from a victim are mildly intimidating, but short (the machine is also destroyed before the end of the movie). There are minor acts of violence, including a fight between Mike and Randall. The crowning glory of the film is that laughter creates a stronger energy than the screams, we know "the joy of the Lord is our strength." Overall, this is a wholesome and unoffensive children's movie that deserves support. I hope that Pixar and Hollywood in general take a lesson and keep these truly delightful kid flicks coming!
[Better than Average / 4½] —Shelby, age 29 Positive—I have been looking forward to this movie since it was first advertised. From the trailers it looked like it was going to be a genuinely funny, enjoyable movie. I was not disappointed at all. This is actually one of the first movies I have seen in recent months if not a year or two that had the audience laughing out loud over very funny scenes and dialogue. It was refreshing to actually enjoy a movie without "fear" of being snuck up with offensive off color humor etc. The opening short film was worth its weight in golden humor. The audience was ready for Monsters, Inc. with a smile and a chuckle. Much needed "comic relief" after such an incredibly horrific last couple of months. Perfect timing and the best use of their talents for such a time as this for the animators and actors. Hooray for Hollywood. Disney!
[Excellent! / 5] —Linda, age 44 Positive—We went to see this movie on opening day and loved it! I took my 9 and 7 year old children and we all three had a great time laughing together as well as being filled with suspense. I was very surprised to not have a few profanities slipped in, but there were none that I caught. This is a great family movie. We have had some interesting talks about family values as well as how we see others from this movie. There's a great judge not and you shall not be judged theme. Bottom line for our family is… Laughs are more powerful than screams! Enjoy the movie.
[Good / 5] —P. Woody, age 39 Positive—There wasn't anything bad about this movie and I would recommend it for little kids, but I took my friend's little brother to it. He loved it and I was totally bored. It was a cleaner alternative to Shrek.
[Good / 3] —KE, age teen Positive—This movie is so funny yet filled with heart. Not only does this movie keep your attention (kids too!) your kids won't be afraid of monsters in the closet. Monsters INC. was better that we expected. My 3 year old stayed in his seat the whole time!
[Excellent! / 5] —Raquel Acevedo, age 32 Positive—I liked this movie tremendously and I'm picky. The boss monster was a little scary for very young children (a cross between a crab and a scorpion with lots of eyes). Scully the blue monster falls in love with a child, finds a force stronger than screams, his best friend does something truly wonderful for him, and it makes parents think about what they look like when they yell at their kids. The ending will make you weep. I loved it.
[Excellent! / 5] —Riley, age 43 Negative

By MIKE MARSEE, The Advocate-Messenger
Makayla Epps and Kyvin Goodin-Rogers have discovered they're much more popular now that they're going to Kentucky. Of course, popularity had nothing to do with the two Marion County stars' decisions to decommit from Louisville, then commit and ultimately sign last month with Kentucky.
But since they completed their switch from red to blue, they have learned through personal and social media interactions something of what it means to be the object of Kentucky fans' affection.
"There's a lot of Kentucky fans out there and a lot of Louisville fans out there, but Kentucky fans, man, they just treat you like royalty," Epps said. "Everybody knows that you're going to Kentucky, and when somebody finds out that you're going to Kentucky, they'll let it be known that they know, They show you love, they show you support, they'll come watch you play, they congratulate you on signing and all that."
Goodin-Rogers said the biggest change she has seen in people since changing her mind has been on Twitter.
"Nothing's changed, really, but my Twitter timeline, there's always something new on there posted, and I never know what it's going to be," Goodin-Rogers said.
The two girls said some tweets come from supportive Kentucky fans, and some come from Louisville fans who are, well, less than supportive, saying things like:
— "Just the fact that coach Mitchell stole us," Epps said with a chuckle.
— "And the stuff I've seen about how next year when we get there Louisville's going to kill us," Goodin-Rogers added. "How they said, 'almost a bird but now a cat,' or something like that."
That remains to be seen, but no matter how those Kentucky-Louisville battles play out, Goodin-Rogers and Epps said they're looking forward to getting to Lexington — after they take care of some unfinished business at Marion.
Their team made it all the way to the finals of the Girls Sweet Sixteen last season before suffering a heartbreaking four-point loss to duPont Manual in the state championship game. With five experienced starters leading a talent-rich team that was No. 1 in the Bluegrasspreps.com preseason rankings, they're determined to do everything they can to seize the title that was within their reach last year.
"This team here, we've got a lot of experience. Our five starters all played in the state (finals) last year, and (coach Trent) Milby expects certain things from all five of us," Epps said. "So we know what it takes to get there, and we know what it takes to win, so our goal is to go 39-0, undefeated, and get there, get back and win it."
The two girls said they're glad the recruiting process is behind them.
"Now that we've signed, that part's over with so that's no more stress. We know that's where we'll be at next year, and now we're just trying to enjoy our senior season," Epps said.
Both Epps, the daughter of former Kentucky star Anthony Epps, and Goodin-Rogers, the daughter of former Louisville star Tick Rogers, committed to Louisville in 2011, prior to their junior season. However, both girls decommitted in June 2012, and in August they made verbal commitments to Kentucky within about a week of each other. They signed during the early signing period last month, becoming part of a Kentucky recruiting class ranked in the top 10 nationally.
Epps, a 5-foot-11 guard, averaged a team-high 17.2 points and shot 49.7 percent from the field last season. Goodin-Rogers, a 6-1 forward, averaged 13.4 points and a team-best 9.1 rebounds.
Randy Salyers, the Casey County coach whose team has played Marion in three of the last four seasons, got a good look at both girls last week when the Knights defeated Casey 72-35 in Liberty, and he said both girls have improved since he last saw them at the state tournament.
"The biggest thing that those two kids have improved in the last two years, one is Epps has improved her outside shot, and I think what Goodin-Rogers did is improve her strength," Salyers said. "Goodin-Rogers has been a decent outside shooter and a pretty smart kid, and she just needed to get stronger, and she's done that. Now Epps, on the other side, was always a strong kid, and she sees the floor well, and she just needed that one thing, which is the outside shot, and she looks like she's improved that."

Ten loyal Team Titleist members stood in the lobby of Titleist Ball Plant 3 earlier this month wearing Titleist hats and eager grins, unsure of their schedule for the day, but certain it was going to be a great one.A couple weeks earlier, e-mails notifying them of their invitation to an "Exclusive Team Titleist Member Event" hit their in-boxes. A few of the members said "it sounded too good to be true."
It turned out to be "unbelievable," according to Team Titleist Member Kevin Yalmokas. "It was superb. Unbelievable," he said. "It was an unbelievable day."
The experience started with a behind-the-scenes tour of Titleist Golf Ball Plant 3 in New Bedford, Mass., where the Titleist Pro V1, Pro V1x and NXT Tour golf balls are produced. The tour of of the facility, which is not offered to the general public, featured a step-by-step view into the making of the #1 ball in golf and showcased the technological advances that Titleist has made in golf ball design and development."It's incredible how they put all that technology into it and then you see the finished the product," said Team Titleist member Don Daniels. "It's just, wow."
From there, the Team Titleist members hopped on a shuttle to Titleist's Manchester Lane Test Facility, where Titleist conducts golf ball research, development and testing. After touring the facility (which included a look at the robotic golf ball hitting machine in action), the members went through a Titleist Performance Golf Ball Fitting at Manchester Lane's short game area and participated in a closest-to-the-pin competition for some unique Titleist prizes including a custom "Team Titleist" stamped WedgeWorks Exclusives wedge.
The final couple of hours were spent on Manchester Lane's driving range, where each member was able to test the new Titleist 910 prototype drivers, which are currently only available to professional golfers on the worldwide tours as part of Titleist's performance-validation process.Check out the video and slideshow below for an inside look at the entire day.

How nice that'd be..... I would rather get into the clubmaking process, but indeed a Ball Plant tour nontheless would be amazing. Ultimate prize would be a Scotty Tour and being fit for a Putter... aaaah, I'll keep dreaming... (maybe I can have that stamped on my putter?!) ha.

What an awesome experience!! It was a very fortunate opportunity to get inside the facility and get a first hand crack at the new 910's. The treatment from the enitre Team Titleist team could not have been any better. What a top notch, knowledgable, and friendly crew that worked directly with me to find the right fit.

What a day indeed! That's like scoring the golden ticket to the chocolate factory...
It's so awesome that Titleist does this. It's no wonder that so many people wear Titleist hats everywhere. Every time I pass someone sporting one there's always a quick glance exchanged that says: "I get it" - Titleist definitely gets it.
Congratulations to all the TT members that made it.

Boy, this would be a little bit of heaven, or an experience for my "bucket list". I am one of Titleist's biggest fans playing their equipment and balls for over 30 years. Unfortunately, I love to have the newest and best equipment from Titleist. Can't wait to see and test the new 910 drivers and new fairway and hybirdy clubs. I believe in playing the best equipment available; that's why I choose Titleist!!!!!!!

Gotta love it! This would be amazing.
Paul V1 wrote on September 22, 2010 at 1:28PM
I just completed the test on the prototype golf balls and I am really impressed with the reactions of it off the driver. It is around 20 yards farther off the driver than the prov1 and
8 to 10 than the prov1x. The irons are about the same and the feel with the putter is about like the prov1. The spin with the lob wedge is a little less than the prov1 but more than the
prov1x. Over all I think that it is a good ball.Thank you for the chance to test them for you.

About 52hemi's Garage
About me and my passion for cars
If I had to put a time on when I started to develop a serious interest in cars, I'd have to say it was when I was 10 years old. My father (one of the smartest men that ever lived) was replacing the head on our '48 Chev. I told him that I thought I'd like to be a mechanic when I grew up. His response, which I'm sure he said to make me angry enough to prove him wrong, was: "You don't have the patience". Well, his psychology worked, because I've spent a great deal of my life 'playing' with cars, and probably to prove to my father that I did have the patience and could develop a few skills. He had actually tossed me the keys to that '48 Chev and told me to drive it home from a field and he'd bring the tractor when I was 9 years old. He even had me haul all the grain from our farm to town in his brand new '54 Ford F-250 when I was eleven. Things certainly have changed today, haven't they?!?! Definitely A LOT MORE traffic, plus an almost "given" that I would be arrested!!
During my lifetime, I've owned a salvage yard in Arlington, TX, a restoration shop in Rockwall, TX & Omaha, NE, and built stockcars, custom cars, go-karts, racing engines, etc., and raced sportscars, stockcars and go-karts. All of this has been wedged in between 24 years in the US Army. I guess I have to say that motor vehicles have been a great part of my life. I cannot even begin to remember, let alone count, the number of motorized vehicles from go-karts, through cars, trucks and motorcycles to wooden boats that I have owned (and many that I really wish that I had kept!!). At age 65 I still love to make little tires out of big ones and love that smell of burning rubber and to watch the 'tiredust' fly!! As a friend of mine so aptly puts it, I don't need an accelerator - it should be replaced with a switch or solenoid!!
To sum it up: Started driving (John Deere tractor) at age 5, built a VERY crude go-kart at age 8, bought a Cushman motor scooter at age 13 and a new Cushman Eagle at age 15 (I've still got it!) and driven in all but 3 of the states in the US. LOVE THINGS THAT GO FAST and MAKE LOTS OF NOISE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My first car
'52 Ford 2dr with a flathead. The flathead cracked (as if you would have never guessed!!) and I replaced it with the 215 c.i. 6-cyl. The reason I went to a 6 is simply because my dad bought it. Wore out the 6 and overhauled it. Bored .060 over, .010 off the block, .040 off the head and added a J.C. Whitney Full-Race cam. That 6 would turn just over 100 MPH in a quarter!! Shocked (and angered) a number of other kids in Eastern Nebraska!!! My greatest coup was taking a new, '60 Olds (with, I believe, the big 394) by two car-lengths in a quarter mile. The owner hasn't spoken to me to this day, after he looked under my hood and saw a 6cyl!! Wish I still had it.
Car I wish I still had
I can't settle on just one, or just cars. 1) My first car, the '52 with the wild 6cyl. 2) My '63 Jag, XKE roadster. 3) My (bought new) '65 Buick Skylark Gran Sport 4) '67 Dodge Polara Conv with 426 wedge & 6-pack. 5) '65 BMW R69S motorcycle with Steib hack. & Last) '64 Century, 19ft wooden boat with 401 nailhead inboard.
My dream car
I'm actually happy with whatever I have at any given time. However, a '36 Cord Sportsman would put a BIG smile on my face!!

Final Thoughts
At $159 US the ASUS GTX 550 Ti DirectCU TOP is a pretty good buy, made only better by the fact that if you purchase it at Newegg you can score a copy of Mafia II for a limited time.
Overclocking on the card is very strong, but what's more surprising is the cooler efficiency when the core is running at a whopping 1050MHz. 69c is good, but not a real stand out; the fact it does that in near silence is what makes the cooler so great. You'd think that with the core clock being pushed so high that the fan would be working harder, but it's clear that it doesn't need to which tells us just how good the cooler is.
There's not really much more that needs to be said about this GTX 550 Ti. If you're looking at spending around the mid $100 US mark and you like what the GTX 550 Ti brings to the table, this is a good offering. It's quieter than not just any other GTX 550 Ti we've tested, but any other card we've tested period. It has some good OC potential and if you don't want to overclock, the 975MHz out of the box core clock is strong.
Overall this is a good GTX 550 Ti that people who want silence are going to love. The fact you can push the core clock over 1GHz and still have near silence as well is just a massive bonus.

Analyzing Social Capital in Context: A Guide to Using Qualitative Methods and Data
Social capital, defined most practically as social networks and norms, mediates development opportunities and outcomes. As such, social capital research increasingly informs the design and evaluation of World Bank-supported projects and policies across diverse regions and countries. This paper assists researchers and development task managers in their efforts to better understand and incorporate the social sphere into their work. This document offers a set of qualitative tools and strategies that are useful for gauging the nature and extent of people's interactions with each other and with key private, public, and civic institutions.

Campisano services customers within 35 miles of Louisville. Ninety percent of his customers are convenience stores, independent grocery stores, nursing homes, hospitals, schools and universities.
Although Louisville has lost some independent grocery stores, Campisano said the metro area still has several. In addition to competition from chain stores, the remaining independents face competition from convenience stores and big-box stores, such as Sam's Club.
Adam Watson, produce marketing specialist, Kentucky Department of Agriculture, Frankfort, also said there still were a number of independent stores in Louisville, but he didn't know how many.
Louisville also has some small supermarket chains that have three or four stores. They differentiate themselves by promoting local products as their niche, Watson said.
He said Louisville also has a high concentration of farmers markets, with more than 20 within the county. The abundance of farmers markets demonstrates that area consumers do pay attention to where they purchase food, Watson said.
"Louisville has a burgeoning local food environment," he said.
Beans are Kentucky's biggest crop in terms of acreage, Wszelaki said.
There are 10,000 acres of snap beans grown in Tennessee, and the area along the I-40 corridor between Cookeville and Crossville, Tenn., is the state's main snap bean production area.
There also are numerous vegetable producers in Bledsoe and Rhea counties and a pocket of growers in Lauderdale County, Wszelaki said.
However, adverse weather this spring has caused some crop damage in Tennessee.
Severe storms, tornadoes, straight-line winds and flooding from April 25-28 led the Federal Emergency Management Agency to declare disaster areas in seventeen counties, including Bledsoe and Rhea.
On April 28, a tornado went through Bledsoe County and one grower, Jackson Farm, Pikeville, Tenn., lost seven tractors. The same day, the University of Tennessee lost several fields of sweet corn to hailstorms.
"We had to start over," Wszelaki said. "We won't have the first corn on the market, but we should still have a market."
Although Wszelaki says she isn't sure how much of an effect the storms had on statewide fruit and vegetable production this season, she expects it will be significant because so many counties were affected.
Like Tennessee, Kentucky had heavy rains this spring.

The cinema industry and the general public do not understand Terry Gilliam. He's not known also for his luck and the Imaginarium of Doctor Parnasssus followed this wave since Heath – the main character – died in half of the movie recordings. This time, however, it seems that Gilliam managed to turn over, putting Johnny Depp, Jude Law and Colin Farrell as substitutes for the actor, since the film is magic.
But Parnassus still doesn't at least have a distributor and appearing the money is ending, since Gilliam needed to launch a quite different teaser…. In the video, that you check below, the film director recalls their great works and he presents the new film through beautiful conceptual arts, the actors' images with their models and some preliminary animations in wireframe. It is practically a commercial for somebody to be seen is interested in joining in the production.
To view the movie, click on the image below. You'll be redirected, and will need Quicktime.

I love reading Latin names for plants with photos. Glad you scored so big. My guess on #8 is Echevaria pulidonis |
Nice haul. #6 looks like a form of the Drunkard's Dream that was mentioned in an earlier post. #7 looks like some kind of crassula #10 some kind of sedum and a non-variegated portulacaria |

Hi everyone, i still automacially check in everyday, but thought i would see how things are with all of you. it has been a real different journey for us. i am getting caught up on reading -- pb reading me janet e book and bought a ton on used books in the spring. i also bought a ton of yarn to start knitting again, and sleep in late but as you can see i have trouble sleeping. i now have light brown hair (have to hide that grey) and put on makeup and now do my nails. Gracie Joy Devine (the puppy who now is 7 lbs) and i go and see Al every day (no i put her in her basket and do not let her on the ground), i am still so lost. i have been "asked out" but what 52 yr old wants to go out on a "date", i feel that this is my time and hear all of you saying outloud"finally"! our daughter turned 20 afew weeks ago and is going into her 3rd year of university, Al would be so proud. our son is now 25 and is an assistant manager at the store he works at, he was best man at a wedding 2 weeks ago and the priest asked him if he was interested in the priesthood (something we thought he might go into), what a compliment! he is also going to New York with 4 buddies next month to watch baseball.
the weather here has been so hot and humid and raining, we had 2 inches of water in our basement, but it's better than hurricanes. i miss talking to all of you and have a great weekend, and to all our new friends out there, listen to these great people, they got me through so much. debbie |

Hi Deb, Glad to see you posting. Glad to see you are doing good. I am still butterflying and gardening. My time as a caregiver reminds me to do what I want now and not wait till later, I might not be able to or I might be caregiving and not have time-only God knows what time will bring. I enjoy my 4 grandbabies also. Glad you checked in--Anyone else from the past out there?? Connie/Mi |

Well, hi yourself! And listen to the old lady a bit....the next time you are "asked out" GO! It could be that he doesn't consider it a date either. He may just want a companion for dinner or a show. It beats eating alone or going by oneself to a movie. And you know what folks would think if he asked another man. Friends, of both sexes, are important. Wow! Gracie is growing. I know you enjoy her company. We still miss not having a little four legged one around. Sounds like the children are getting along well too. Take care of yourself and keep reading! |
glad you are doing good and doing things that YOU want to do - I am still 'hanging' in there with DH - he just finished his third round of chemo, had the CT scan yesterday and we get the results Monday. This is getting 'wearing' after fighting this cancer non-stop since last year in May. This is a nice forum but if you want a really active forum visit WellSpouse.com - and Deb, you would be welcome there - they have one forum going on for FWS (former well spouse). Carolyn |

According to the Consumer Federation of America, 1 in 3 American adults has received a counterfeit check, and of those, 2 percent actually deposit the checks and send money to the scammers.
"That's about the same response that a legitimate direct marketer would get," CFA's Susan Grant told KOMO TV. "And that means that at least 1.3 million people in the United States have been victims."
Consumer reporter Connie Thompson reports on 10 ways that phony check scammers track you down so they can then try to lure you into cashing a check and sending them money.

I love these stools, the legs extend more than expected, but that's okay, would have liked to know weight limitation of 250 lbs prior to buying, need to think how to not get people over 250 to sit in them tactfully :( but overall, absolutely love these, if I had a bigger apartment I'd buy 2 more, oh, and they were packed very well, nice surprise
I love these stools and I'm definitely keeping them, however, I was expecting an "unfinished" galvanized metal stool. This is instead painted a metallic silver with a shiny topcoat. It's kind of like a car's paint. They look as pictured from a distance and everyone who has seen them loves them. Just make sure you know what to expect.
Perfect mid-century Tolix reproduction stools for my modern kitchen. Great value, same price as much crummier, boring stools. Much more affordable than the real thing from France, and a great reproduction. Packed beautifully. They stack, w/little rubber protectors under seat so they won't get scratched. Good quality and value.
These stools are nicely made and sturdy....Very similar to the look of the original french made Tolix version without the steep price....The finish is a platinum-like powder coat (not clear coated raw metal )....The powdercoat has a few flaws, but don't affect the look. Fully assembled.
love these stools to go around our kitchen island... perfect compliment to our stainless steel appliances... love the color... super sturdy.... and the stack-ability is a plus!
The barstools go really well with my stained concrete floor. I am really happy with then, They are sturdy and good-looking.
Used them outdoors at a poolside bar. They held up perfectly through the weather.
I love the style of the stools and the fact that they can be stacked when not in use. They seem to be very sturdy and I love the gun metal color. They look retro without being too old looking. The feet of the stools are cushioned so they don't scratch the floor when being moved around. Great value!
Great product - well made - great looking!!!! Researched many options - this is by farrrr the best choice
Great look...quality , and...cant beat the price! I bought these stools already for one of my rental property and was so satisfied with this product that I replace an another one of my property with these stools:-). Also, as always, Overstock was fast to deliver them to me :-)

University of Iowa Asks Students How Best to Show Its Disregard for First Amendment
We haven't revisited the deplorable censorship case of art professor Serhat Tanyolacar at the University of Iowa (UI) for some time now. It has not slipped FIRE's mind, however, that UI has yet to demonstrate any awareness of the First Amendment principles it trampled on by censoring and publicly denouncing Tanyolacar's work. FIRE and the National Coalition Against Censorship (NCAC) have harshly rebuked UI for its handling of the case, in both a joint letter and joint press release. And though I didn't think my opinion of UI's management of this case could get any lower, it turns out I was wrong.
As The Gazette (Cedar Rapids, Iowa) reports this week, according to emails obtained by the newspaper, UI actually ran a draft of UI President Sally Mason's apology letter by "student leaders" offended by Tanyolacar's work before that apology was issued, giving them an opportunity to review it and offer revisions.

Debate Over 'Hateful' Speech Heats Up at Clemson University
Motivated by recent race-related controversies on campus, a group of Clemson University students has issued a list of demands to the university administration. While dozens of professors have publicly supported the demands, other faculty and students strongly disagree that the university should take action against students for "hateful statements" or for participating in a gang-themed party last semester.

Steven Pinker on 'Why Free Speech Is Fundamental'
While the First Amendment provides the legal basis for protecting free speech and open debate in many forums, it's critically important to remember the moral and practical reasons why freedom of expression should be defended independent of the law. Harvard University psychology professor and bestselling author Steven Pinker knows this well, and he lays out a series of compelling arguments for freedom of speech in The Boston Globe today.

Amherst College Settles with Student Who Sued Over Withheld Diploma
Amherst College has settled a lawsuit brought last June by a student identified only as John Doe. Doe filed the lawsuit after the college withheld his diploma because of a sexual assault allegation from 2009 that had long since been resolved—or so he thought. After the allegations arose initially, Doe was placed on medical leave for a year and required to see a psychiatrist before petitioning for readmission. After successfully completing the college's requirements, Doe was readmitted and continued his studies without incident.

Just got my Virco Classic. Overall was pretty happy. When I first fired up, everything was working great. Then I left it on for about 5 minutes and turned it off. 20 minutes later I tried to fire it back up and only the far right could ignite. There were no sparks from the other ignitor. I had to hand light the other two.
I am using LP for now while waiting for the conversion kit. Yes I did open the tank slowly. Thanks for the help |
Follow-Up Postings:
Superfly, My igniter on the side burner was disconnected underneath. It is just a clip-on deal so if that's what is wrong with yours it should be a very easy fix. Look for a wire running from the ignitor button up to the underside of the burner and make sure they are connected. I think they get loose during shipping. Made an awsome marinated tri tip from Costco Sat night. The leftovers made great sandwiches! Good luck. |

It is connected. As I said, it worked the first time, but never since. |
- Posted by spambdamn_rich (My Page) on Mon, Oct 7, 02 at 13:51
I had a defective ignitor that went out after a few weeks. No spark whatsoever. If you don't get any spark, yours could be defective. Call Virco and ask them to ship you a replacement. It's not too hard to replace, but I had to loosen that side of the front panel to get enough space to ease the ignitor out. Another possibility is that the gaps between the ignitor wires and the burners need adjustment. However, I went through a lot of such adjustments, then ignitor finally died, and the replacement has not needed any adjustments. |
You could also elimate the question of the ignitor module by unhooking the wires that don't work and moving the one right hand side ignitor to the other terminals. This would answer this question for you. This is easily accessed under the front panel. Even though it worked at first and not after you ran it for a while, this might be an expansion issue and you might just need to further adjust the electrodes. My guess is that the ignitor may be fine. I too had to do some adjusting on the electrode tips to get a good spark. I found that a quarter inch of clearance worked really well. I also put a new duracell alkaline in the button, it sparks alot better. One more area of cocern may also be the position of the spark in relation to the burner tube holes. (Assuming the module is ok) What I mean is this. I found that when I was running propane, I bent my electrodes so that the spark was underneath the outlet holes on the burner tube. Since LP is heavier than air, the gas was going down and accumulating before it would ignite, making a small combustion. Consequently, when I converted to NG, I had to reverse this and make the spark above the holes. Lights immmediately now. Good luck. |

Adjusted electrodes and now works fine. Thanks. |

The organization, whose community fundraisers help to advance research through the American Cancer Society, is coming off a couple of disappointments.
In May, the always popular Relay For Life community walk was cut short by inclement weather whose heavy hand dealt a lethal blow to the festivities. Translated, it means the event came up far short of its fundraising goals.
Staggered but not defeated, the resilient Relay For Life organizers quickly pulled together a followup activity. Given the name of Hope Festival, the brainstorm mirrored in some ways the original Relay event and it was scheduled for July 20. It was a noble cause, but planners acknowledge it didn't quite catch the community's attention as they had hoped.
Between Mother Nature's fury that disrupted the original Relay For Life community walk and the disappointment of limited participation in the mid-summer Hope Festival, the legion of cancer combatants has found itself lagging behind in the campaign to reach the fiscal year's $255,000 goal.
This points to the importance of the organization's next fundraiser. It occurs Saturday and will be especially luring to Cleveland and Bradley County's — and surrounding areas as well — golfing community.
We speak of the second annual Relay For Life Golf Tournament whose proceeds will support ACS cancer research. The select-shot tourney will kick off at 8 a.m. with a shotgun start. Registration begins at 7 a.m.
Although two-member teams are invited to simply show up for registration on the day of the event, participants are strongly encouraged to notify ACS and Relay For Life organizers of their intent to play. This can be done by calling or emailing Tammy Leatherwood, a longtime Relay For Life volunteer who joined the cause eight years ago following cancer diagnoses of her brother in 2005 and her daughter a year later.
Leatherwood, who serves as Relay For Life event chair, can be reached at 423-303-6950 or through email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Last year's ACS golf tournament, the first to be sponsored by Relay For Life since 2000, attracted 15 teams and 30 golfers. Proceeds totaled $3,500.
So far, about 20 teams have committed to play Saturday and certainly Relay For Life organizers hope many others will choose to take a swing against cancer on this day.
Registration fee is $150 per team or $75 for individuals. Mulligans can be purchased for $5 each with a limit of four per player. Tournament registration will include lunch, green fees, golf cart and goody bag.
The tournament will be held at the Chatata Valley Golf & Country Club which is the same location as last year's event. Lest we forget to mention, the winning team will earn a $250 award and the runnerup will receive a $200 prize. Two additional cash drawings of $75 each also will be included.
Playing Saturday will go far beyond the simple enjoyment of a morning round of golf in a gorgeous surrounding.
Playing Saturday will exceed the stretch of healthy exercise, fresh air and social networking that are common to the sport.
Playing Saturday will help answer the inevitable question, "What shall we do this weekend?"
Playing Saturday will also deliver a message, one best sounded by Leatherwood herself who said of cancer, "I hate this disease."
She has every right to such emotion, as does anyone whose life and family and loved ones have been devastated by this despicable ailment.
We like her spirit when looking to, but not dwelling upon, the disappointments with this year's Relay For Life walk and the Hope Festival. She told our newspaper each was just a temporary setback, and then added, "We just back up and punt, but we don't give up."
And that's what participating in Saturday's golf tournament will do. It will invigorate a team of warriors whose battle against cancer will not be won until the disease itself is finally, and assuredly, defeated.

Common Dog Foot Problems
- Biting, licking, or chewing at her paws
often indicate allergies. Your vet can assist you
in determining what substances, if anything, your
dog is allergic to.
Another reason why dogs might persistently lick or chew her paws is because of an embedded object - for instance, dogs that are walked through fields or forests may find that a plant seed or burr has managed to attach itself to the paw. Gently remove the object and monitor the area for any signs of infection. - Torn or fractured nails can occur when
your dog "catches" the nail on something.
This is extremely painful, and the nail should be
completely removed by your vet (do not
attempt to do this yourself). Eventually the nail
should regrow unless the trauma to the nail bed
was too severe.
- Cut on the paw. Our dogs run through all
sorts of terrain, so a cut isn't uncommon. Wash cuts
out and apply an antiseptic ointment. Wrap some gauze
around the paw and cover with a soft sock or a dog
bootie, if you have one. This helps to prevent your
dog from licking at the wound.
Large or deep cuts should be examined by your vet. - Cracked or dry paw pads. Dry and cracked pads
sometimes open up and bleed. Apply a moisturizer to your
dog's paws (check your vet or local pet supply
store for moisturizer that's specially formulated for
this purpose). Don't do it too often, though - your
dog relies on "tough" paw pads for walking,
and moisturizer can make them too soft and sensitive.
- Foreign objects lodged in the paw, whether
it's in the pad itself or in between your dog's toes.
This includes burrs, seeds, dried mud, and even just
matted fur. Carefully remove any foreign objects and
clip mats - be careful not to nip / damage the
"webbing" between your dog's pads.
- Interdigital cysts sometimes occur. These
are lumps that form in between the dog's paw pads.
A vet can perform a fine needle aspirate of the lump
to check whether the lump is benign or malignant.
- Long toenails should be trimmed. You can
do this at home, or if you haven't done it before or
are uncomfortable doing so, it can be done at the vet's
or at a dog grooming salon. Keeping your pet's nails
short will help to prevent torn nails, and keep walking
comfortable for your dog.
If your dog runs a great deal, especially over rough terrain or in very hot or very cold conditions, consider investing in a set of dog booties. Yes, they look funny and it most dogs need time to get used to them, but the boots can save your dog's paws from excessive discomfort or injury. Dog foot problems can occur at any time since our canine pals love to run and play - so keep a watchful eye out for potential issues that may need treatment.

The Young And The Sexless
By Nelson Branco
Currently, three daytime soap operas feature breakout super queer couples: All My Children's Reese and Bianca; As The World Turns' Noah and Luke; and Guiding Light's Olivia and Natalia. Now The Young and the Restless, is the latest drama to straddle the pink bandwagon. Eager to convert more fans to the gay side, last month Genoa City's trusted legal eagle character, Rafe Torres, played by 24 year-old Yani Gellman, came out in an unusually subtle scene.
You may have seen Gellman before ' he's previously been in horror flicks like Urban Legends: Final Cut and in 2002's Jason X. And teenage girls fell in love with the actor when he starred in 2003's The Lizzie McGuire Movie. Most recently, he has been cast in the Canadian series Monster Warriors, which should be enough to arm Gellman with the armor to fight Y&R's evil Victor Newman.
As Rafe Torres becomes more entrenched in the canvas of the soap, sources tell Out that an unusual love interest -- could it be straight Newman heir, Adam? -- is on the horizon. Moreover, there are rumors that Phillip Chancellor IV (played by former Guiding Light heartthrob John Driscoll) may squire the briefs off the workaholic. Or maybe Rafe will find himself in the middle of love triangle with both characters?
We caught up with Yani to dish what it's like working on his favorite soap opera, playing gay for pay, and if Y&R plans on showing Rafe getting it on with another Genoa City male.
Out: Welcome to the daytime gay-waves! The Young and the Restless boasts a large Canadian cast, and you're from Toronto.
Yani Gellman: I am! We have a little Canadian contingent on our set. I consider Toronto my home. I try to visit every three months and visit my family and friends. I was born in Miami, and after my parents broke up I moved to Australia, then Spain with my father, and then to Texas for a short while, and then Toronto. And now I live in Los Angeles.
Whew -- You get around. Did you watch Y&R before joining the cast?
I did with my sister after we got home from school. My sister is a die-hard Y&R fan. She'd always make me watch with her. I stopped watching it for a long time, but when I booked this role I got sucked back into life in Genoa City.
Literally. As a fan it must be surreal to be walking around The Newman Ranch.
It hasn't been as weird as I thought. It certainly was for my sister. She came down to visit the set and she had a blast. She couldn't believe we were on the Y&R set ten years after we fell in love with the show.
Is Rafe Torres a recurring role?
Yes, it is.
You're 24. Yet you're playing a lawyer! Discuss.
[Laughs] Rafe is very fresh out of law school!
Rafe obviously blew one of his professors!
[Laughs] This is definitely one of the first adult roles I've played. It's been a little bit of challenge. Ironically, I attended University to become a lawyer before the acting bug bit me. This Y&R gig is a dream come true -- in more ways than one. The legal situations Rafe is assigned is something I can relate to, so the dialogue comes easy.
When you auditioned, did you Rafe was gay?
I didn't know. All I knew was that he was a young lawyer. I was on the show for a month or so before the producers called me in for a meeting to discuss the direction they wanted to take Rafe, and I was cool with it.
Is your family cool with you playing gay?
Yeah! They're all happy. I have a lot of friends in the gay community, and a couple family members who are gay. Everyone's really proud to be a part of this experience because it's quite the landmark role. And it's about time.

Saturn and Titan
September 14, 2012
Eyepiece projection image I took of Saturn using my telescope and iPhone camera. Saturn is one of my favorite objects to view. It looks just amazing as the first time I ever viewed it through a telescope. I will never forget that first time. I think everyone needs to see Saturn through a telescope at least once in their lifetime. Every person I have showed it to through my telescope is amazed. Even people that are not the least bit into astronomy.

Jonathan Butler
With the season of Fall just barely coming to pass last week and many still rocking summer gear, it's probably hard to even think about Christmas, much less the music. But when someone conveys the sentiments of the season with the fervor and finesse of Jonathan Butler, listeners might be tempted to warm up the cocoa anyway while absorbing what he brings to his first-ever holiday recording, Merry Christmas To You.
After over a dozen studio CDs and collaborations on-stage and in the studio with the best and brightest of the music industry, Jonathan pours those enviable gifts of production, songwriting, guitar virtuosity and vocal instrumentation into traditional favorites and two self-penned performances. The presence of some very high-profile players certainly doesn't hurt (Rick Braun, Dave Koz, Dan Lutz and his own daughter Jodie, to name a few), but his unique talents remain the most prominent: Jonathan's South African roots are prominently at the top of "Little Drummer Boy," riding hearty chants and a powerful percussive wave into a mid-tempo sway of a groove, while the typically droll "First Noel" glides in via eloquent acoustics and soars throughout. "Sweet Little Jesus Boy" isn't as well-known as the others, but the sparing conveyance provided with just his emotive tenor and that trusty guitar could easily make it new holiday favorite.
Thanks to the spirit that Jonathan pours into the project and the glistening, glib tones of his voice, even the songs you might be the weariest of get new life: Butler's instrumental version of "Sleigh Ride," for example, is earnest and energetic, and "I'll Be Home For Christmas" is poignantly rendered with just enough creaks to keep the saccharine at bay. Some of Merry's greatest moments come from the originals, such as the lovey-dovey 1950s-recalling title track (think poodle skirts, horn-rimmed glasses and penny loafers) and another instant earworm, "Happy Holidays": both of them are sweet enough to play around kids and sensual enough to keep "the mood" right long after they're tucked in and dreaming of St. Nick.
Despite the occasional skip-worthy numbers---Jonathan sounds downright rudderless on the opening Donny Hathaway cover, "This Christmas," and "O Holy Night" is about two minutes too long---Jonathan Butler demonstrates why he's such an enduring force in contemporary jazz and soul and yes, even how it's never too early to curl up and chill out with some audible holiday cheer. After all, didn't he keep us waiting long enough?
Highly Recommended.

DNR cross-country ski pass coordinator Paul Nordell said the sale of the ski passes is what funds the Grant-in-Aid program for ski trails. That money is used to maintain the more than 1,600 miles of designated cross-country ski trails throughout Minnesota. It also enables the DNR to work with local units of government and clubs to expand the trail system.
"Half of all the money spent on cross-country ski trails is for pre-season maintenance," Nordell said. "Before the first snowflake falls, crews are out removing trees and other debris blocking the trails."
Ski passes cost $5 for the daily, $15 for the annual, and $40 for the three-year pass. Even though Minnesota winters have been short on snow the past few years, Nordell encourages those who enjoy the sport to buy their passes.
"The pass does more than give you the opportunity to ski," Nordell explained. "It is an investment in the sport. It helps support the trail system statewide, and maintains trails at the level skiers have come to expect. So even during low snow years, skiers are preserving the future of their sport."
The State Legislature established the ski pass in 1983. The law requires skiers 16 years of age and older to have a valid Minnesota ski trail pass with them at all times while on a designated trail. DNR Enforcement Chief Mike Hamm said the Enforcement Division will once again have an enforcement presence on the ski trails this year.
"Anyone caught without a pass may be ticketed," said Hamm. "And the ticket will cost the same as if a skier bought a three-year pass. So, it would be cheaper to buy the pass ahead of time." In addition to paying the fine, violators would still be required to purchase a daily, annual or three-year ski pass.
Passes may be purchased at any one of 1,800 electronic licensing agents throughout Minnesota, and at most state parks that have ski trails.

text: Two of the UK scene's heavyweights: Hedflux and Bad Tango team up once again to bring us one of the stand out releases of the summer. Heading things up is the collaborative track Alignment, a gloriously techy excursion into cyberspace featuring snaking acid lines and an infectious, bouncy groove. On the flip side, we have Hedflux's brand new remix of Bad Tango's seminal track from 2012: Enzyme.

General collections
Print publications
Using the legal deposit privilege, the Library claims current British and Irish books fairly comprehensively. This includes not only works of academic scholarship but also works covering every kind of writing, as these may be of significance for research purposes either now or in the future. The more comprehensive the collection is, the more important it is as a significant national resource.
While books are collected comprehensively, periodicals and other serial publications from outwith Scotland are acquired on a more selective basis through co-operative collecting in conjunction with the other legal deposit libraries.
The legal deposit intake averages approximately 250,000 items a year, comprising books, serial parts, official publications, maps and music.
Non-print publications
The Legal Deposit Libraries Act 2003 provides the basis for extending coverage to include non-print publications by later supplementary regulations. In the meantime, the Code of Practice for the Voluntary Deposit of Non-Print Publications, in place since January 2000, means that certain categories of non-print publication may be requested for deposit.
