Faculty Senate
Faculty Senate
The KC Faculty Senate was organized in 1993.
Kilgore College Faculty Association By-Laws:
The accomplishment of the goals of any educational institution depends on the successful interaction of the administration, the faculty and the students. It is the faculty which carries out the institution's primary function, the education of students, and it is the proximity to both students and administration which puts the faculty in an advantageous position to assess student and institutional needs. Therefore, it is prudent and necessary that the faculty play a role in planning, policy-making, and decision-making processes of that institution.
In order to best address the needs of the students, the faculty and the administration of the institution, it is essential that faculty members be involved and informed. In order to promote faculty participation in the planning, policy-making and decision-making processes of the institution, a constitution is herein established for a Faculty Association.

Today is the first anniversary of Occupy Wall Street, and FDL's team of reporters and citizen journalists will have you covered with all the on-the-ground activities. I wanted to add some coverage of this new offshoot of the Occupy movement, in the vein of Occupy Our Homes, the successful effort to fight foreclosures through direct action and pressure on individual banks. As you may know, this effort helped dozens of people all around the country save their homes and get loan modifications, through Occupy Our Homes groups in places like Los Angeles, Minneapolis, Atlanta and Rochester, NY.

A Bipartisan Solution To Endorse: Breaking Up the Big Banks |

He doesn't get to that conclusion the way I would get to that conclusion, but the fact he does may signal a potential transpartisan alliance on going after the big banks.

Come on, admit it: This Batman hooded sweatshirt is one of the best hooded tops you have ever seen. It based on the original gray Caped Crusader Bat-suit, with a hood that features Batman's ears on its exterior and a drop-down mask on its interior that can be folded or kept under the hood.
Also featured is 'Marioflage' and the ever-awesome Stormtrooper top. It seems to be that this is the domain of geeks with all the retro gaming ones making appearances in this selection as well.

The striker remains confident and says his team can pick up a result in Wednesday's second leg of its Champions League quarterfinal with Barcelona.
Paris Saint-Germain striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic says his side can "make history" by beating Barcelona in the second leg of their Champions League quarterfinal tie.PSG will travel to Camp Nou on Wednesday evening in need of an improbable result against Barcelona. After drawing 2-2 in the first leg in Paris, the Ligue 1 leaders will require a win or at least two goals against the Spanish giants to combat Barcelona's two away goals.
A defeat or 1-1 draw will see the French club go out of the competition.
"It will be difficult," Ibrahimovic told Globoesporte. "It is a great challenge, but it is our time to make history."
PSG still has hopes of a trebel alive, with the club seven points clear atop the Ligue 1 table while being alive in the quarterfinals of the Coupe de France as well.

The NYTimes is reporting that NY and California have agreed to sign on the 50 state deal and that is will immunize robo signing. If that is true, it's over folks. The housing market is not going to recover any time soon and the court system will be permanently corrupted by forged and perjurious documents.
This settlement is an incredible breach of the social contract between the government and the governed.
On top of everything else, nobody seems to think it's going to be helpful to the recovery of the housing market, help the economy, or do anything except bail out the banks, again. From the Times:
"I wouldn't say it's a panacea for the housing industry but it is good for the banks to get this behind them," said Jason Goldberg, an analyst with Barclays.
Lucky banks.
Christopher J. Mayer, a housing expert at Columbia Business School, said the accord could give banks more certainty that they can clear their large backloads of seized homes, restoring the flow of those homes into the market.
Yeah, because it's not like there are a shortage of homes for sale already?
About one in five Americans with mortgages are underwater, which means they owe more than their home is worth. Collectively, their negative equity is almost $700 billion. On average, these homeowners are underwater by $50,000 each.
A recent estimate from the settlement negotiations put the average aid for homeowners at $20,000."I just don't think it's going to be a life-changing event for borrowers," said Gus Altuzarra, whose company, the Vertical Capital Markets Group, buys loans from banks at a discount.
He's right, homeowners will continue to be sacrificed like so many lambs.
On the other hand, the banks are evidently bribing the AG's with money to use to pay for their investigations of—the banks. And useless consumer credit education, to perpetuate the myth that this is the fault of greedy or stupid homeowners who bought more house then they could afford; rather than the reality that they were fraud victims of predatory lenders.
Call your AG's office, beg him or her not to sign. And remember this at re-election time. Read the Times article – there's lots more in there.

By Gareth Harris. News, Issue 247, June 2013Published online: 25 June 2013
King Edward VIII, the monarch who gave up the British throne in 1936 after only ten months because he was not allowed to marry the divorcée Wallis Simpson, once borrowed seven masterpieces from the National Gallery in London by artists such as Canaletto and Jan van Os. Then the Prince of Wales, he wanted them to adorn his rooms in St James's Palace—and he also reframed them.
Edward's short-lived but eventful relationship with the National Gallery is documented in Stewards of the Nation's Art: Contested Cultural Authority 1890-1939 (University of Toronto Press; also available as an ebook) by Andrea Geddes-Poole, an assistant professor at Trent University in Ontario, Canada.The writer Michael Savage highlights the saga on his Grumpy Art Historian blog, saying: "The future King Edward VIII was briefly a trustee of the National Gallery, and I'd heard that he was somewhat disengaged. But I had no idea that the National Gallery acceded to his request to borrow a few pictures for his own house—which he proceeded to reframe."Archive material outlines how the Prince of Wales tried, and failed, to engage with gallery protocol. In 1930, he was appointed as a trustee of the board. "The Prince of Wales turned up at the National Gallery board meeting today," said Lord Crawford (David Lindsay) in the Court Circular, the daily record of official royal engagements."He fairly amazed us. About halfway through our proceedings, which happened to be extremely important, he got bored and began to smoke… the cigarette, however, enlivened the Prince and he began to talk to his neighbours… so far as I could make out, the chatter was chiefly about racing and society," Lord Crawford said.In November 1930, the Prince of Wales requested the loan of seven paintings from the National Gallery, which he planned to hang in his apartments at St James's Palace. A spokeswoman for the National Gallery said: "The director… reported a request from H.R.H. the Prince of Wales for the loan of seven pictures… the trustees authorised the selection of seven pictures for loan." These included Venice: The Doge's Palace and the Riva degli Schiavoni, 1730s, by Canaletto, Fruit, Flowers and a Fish, 1772, by Jan van Os, and Ludolf Bakhuizen's The Eendracht and a Fleet of Dutch Men-of-war, around 1670.Discarded framesThe prince's aide, Cooper Thomas, wrote to the then director of the gallery, Charles Holmes, saying: "The pictures are a great success, but I find that during my absence on leave, His Royal Highness changed a number of the frames and procured substitutes from Messrs Arthurs Field of Endell Street."The discarded National Gallery frames were stored at the former royal residence of Marlborough House in Pall Mall, added Thomas, who told Holmes that he had made labels stating that the works belonged to the National Gallery. Holmes tactfully responded by saying that "there should not be any ambiguity when the Prince of Wales ceases to need [the works], having a superb collection of his own".The final twist came in 1936, when Lord Crawford wrote in his diary: "The other day, the Duke of York [Edward's brother, the future George VI] told the National Gallery that he was having his home redecorated and thought it safest to return the pictures to the gallery during that period." The gallery, Lord Crawford stressed, had no idea that the paintings had been passed on to the Duke of York."And then it was discovered that the National Gallery's frames, labels and numbers had been removed. The old frames were found stowed away in a bedroom," Crawford wrote. The works were eventually safely returned to the gallery.

Thanks to everyone for responding. I will get my local channels in HD. It's the other locals (that i've never heard of) that are in SD. But all the locals (like NBC, CBS, Fox, KCAL, PBS, etc) are in HD. My installation is Wednesday, no DVR, just wanted the HD box, so i don't know what number box until Wednesday.
Apparently i just made it......they went back to the normal fee late last night. I got the "Big Deal" which also includes the "Referal from a Friend".
Now i have to give TWC the bad news.....although i'm keeping the internet. I might drop down in speed to save the extra money, don't really need the blazing fast speed, just the basic. Installation should be easy. Most of my building already has DIRECTV, he was here a couple of days ago for another install (talked to him, really nice dude). I'll unhook the TWC box late Tuesday and also the cable modem which will then reconnect connect back to DirecTV. I'll let everyone know how it went.
Please let me know how everything is. I am thinking about dropping TWC too and getting DirecTV.

I live on my Mom's homeplace, new home but about the same size as old house and same shape. My grandmother had flower beds all over the place and I have neglected them for a few years (well, add a few more years) due to being physically unable to maintain them. Now that I am doing better, I would like to "save" what I can.
I am having much difficulty with the bed that runs along the road. There are 3 or 4 plum trees, that continuously sprout new trees; wild honeysuckle is choking the white lilac, forsythia, old-fashioned lilac and a rose bush; and finally, the limestone that Grandma used to "mark" new starts have all sunk into the ground except for a few. Can anyone tell me:
I know some of this may seem silly but I seriously would love to reclaim it to look like it did when I was little . . . I have saved many things like a rose bush and some hosta plants that returned after being bull-dozed (hardy things!) but would love for the front bed to look nice. Thanks for any help ya'll can give me . . . Tracey |
Follow-Up Postings:
Tracey, I have a creek running thru my property that's overrun with honeysuckle. Actually, now is a good time to eradicate them, as long as they aren't too very large.You'll find they are easy to pry out of the ground this time of year. The roots run parallel to the ground, just under the soil. I just put my shovel underneath the main stems, and start prying...then just pull on the roots, they should come right out. For the saplings, I'd get a chainsaw, and cut them level to the ground. Can't help you with the limestone and plums. |
Hello Tracey, Are your plums good to eat? Did your Grandmother use the plums or can them? You might just find that you could swap them on the garden exchange. Check out e-bay . If you can't give them away sell them. I have a peach tree that just poped up in my yard. It has the best peaches I have ever tasted. It took a couple of years to find out what kind of tree we had. Boy was I happy I left the tree alone. To make along story short. I leave the seed on the ground ,most do not root . I have given many of these seedlings away . Every year I have friends waiting for one. Once someone Taste the pies that can be made in just waiting a couple year for the tree to mature, They want one. Try one of your grandmothers receipies and you will most likely find people willing to come out and dig their own tree. Good Luck , Pam |

Any info on this topic is pretty hard to find. At least for me. BM Advance is a water based alkyd and so it has been said that it may/could/does yellow. especially using white. I'm thinking of using this paint (white) on my Kitch cabs as it seems to level the best. However I'm concerned about touch ups and a difference in color over time. Funny thing (to me) is, BM has a sort of tutorial on their site for repainting kitch cabs and they use white advance. Maybe they don't know it yellows. Or, is this whole "yellowing" thing so negligent that it doesn't matter? Is it like a 30 year thing or a 5 year thing? Has anyone had experience with this "yellowing" of Advance? Thanks |

It's talked about by BM. Substitute it is the simple, easy answer. Advance has a 16 hour dry time. That's a production killer. http://www.jackpauhl.com/benjamin-moore-advance-paint-review/ There are other cabinet paints that will provide identical service and won't yellow or take all summer to dry. Cabinet Coat |
Here is a link that might be useful: Yellowing of alkyd paints
Thanks brushworks. "Substitute, it is the simple, easy answer." That's usually the case I guess. Actually, Advance was going to be the substitute.:) I've tried the CC. don't like the high sheen. If I use it, I would have to topcoat with water poly to get the right sheen. I guess that's an option though. Argh.... Thanks for the BM link. Funny, they recommend Impervo (water) as they have another "tutorial" on their site showing best kitchen cab paint to be Advance (white). Here: Anyway, your link refers to Alkyds yellowing. Hence my original question about Advance yellowing as it's not really a true alkyd. At least as far as I understand it. That said, It's probably too new of a product for anyone to really know it's degree of yellowing possibilities. I've found that Impervo (water) goes on like pancake batter and doesn't level at all. Maybe with half a jug of floetrol it might work. Target coatings tinted 6500 lacquer is pretty nice but they can't get the color right. So, I'm back to Advance. Actually, now I'm thinking of just top coating Bins Primer. Ok, I'm off to BM to see if they can tint the CC. Sorry if this post is a little incongruent. My brain is fried from all this. It's pretty much the color and sheen that is the problem. Thanks |

The last cabinet repaint I did a few months ago was with Behr Satin Enamel in Silky White. It's a true satin sheen and the paint was much easier to apply, leveled nicely and the customer was pleased. |

I have only had one experience so far with Advance, and I did not notice that it dried any slower than Impervo. I was able to do a second coat on the trim the next day, which is what one expects. It's never a great idea to double-up on paint coats, though I've done it under pressure. (and for slimy acrylic semi-gloss it's the only way to get a second coat to adhere...) The trim paint was a yellowy-cream, so no yellowing concerns there. I was happy with my Advance experience, and will try it again. It's nicer to work with than my old go-to which is Dulamel. Kills fewer brain cells, too. Casey |

I began cooking about 5 or 6 years ago and found that I not only loved doing it, but I was amazed at the variety of meals I was preparing. From Italian to Barbecue and most everything in between. I live with my wife in the Tampa Bay area and often cook breakfasts for a group of guys in one of our beautiful parks. About the only food I haven't gotten accustomed to is liver. Can't stand it.. wife loves it.
I of course love to cook barbecue. From ribs to tender beef brisket. Italian is another favorite of ours. Bolognese sauce with papadelle noodles, chicken cacciatore to die for and of course the old standbye meatballs and sausage in a deep, thick red sauce.

Do You Know a REAL Hot Man When You See Him?
By Bobbi Palmer
I didn't have much interest in my husband's appearance when I saw him on match.com. (Sorry honey.) And he said his fave passtime was sailing. I puke on boats. I only met him because he lived in my neighborhood and it was easy. I assure you he's the most gorgeous man alive. And that Dramamine works.

There is a mistaken notion that plays that open in New York make important statements about Art and Life. A sensible person realizes that New York is really a tryout town, where plays are presented in the hope that they will be suitable for amateur and community theaters across the country.
Good news for the boondocks! There's no need to revive "Stage Door" next season. You can do "Stepping Out" instead.
Richard Harris (not the actor) has written a modest play about seven women and a man, of various ages, classes and sizes, who take tap dancing lessons in a London church after work. We watch them over a winter and spring as they prepare for a public performance.
We learn only a smidgen about each character, but we do see them moving beyond their initial self-concern into a growing involvement with the others until, by the performance, they are a close-knit if motley ensemble.
In London, I suspect, the emphasis was on the characters. Here it has been directed by Tommy Tune, so of course it becomes a show about tap dancing.
Only a few of the actors have made the characters full enough that we can believe they have a life outside the church basement. In this production most of them are cartoon figures, which makes it awkward at those few moments when Harris tries to treat them seriously.
The most believable figures are Don Amendolia as the shy, overweight man whose slightest gestures are funny and poignant; Victoria Boothby as a prim, waspish pianist; Janet Eilber as a nervous young woman who asks, "I wonder if it takes as much courage to live alone as with someone else"; and Carole Shelley as a tough businesswoman who sells the other women dance accessories.
Meagen Fay is extremely funny as a snob, Sheryl Sciro properly wacky as a spaced-out young tramp, but these performances verge on caricature. I could not tell if Marcell Rosenblatt's gleeful amateurishness was her own or that of her character.
Once the dancing starts, of course, "Stepping Out" becomes wonderful fun. Tune can make as much from inept dancers as he can from pros.
David Jenkins has designed a church hall with a glimpse of the street that has a strong London feeling. Neil Spisak's costumes add to the comedy.
"Stepping Out" is full of innocent amusement, but you can't help wondering whether, when they do it next year in Kankakee, the laughs won't be a lot more solid if the characters are more believable.
The very real pleasure given by the Richard Harris play "Stepping Out," which started stepping at the John Golden Theater last night, is a curious one.
Curious, simply because it is not primarily theatrical. It is the natural joy we take in seeing the triumph of an underdog - or, in this case, a whole kennelful, an entire pack of underdogs.
Let me explain. This English play is set in a church hall in North London. Mavis, an ex-chorus-girl, accompanied by her intractable termagant of a pianist, is giving an adult-education program in tap-dancing.
Her class is classy, or rather a mixed cross-section - carefully mixed, crossed, and sectioned - of the stratified English class system.
There are seven women and one man. They all have different stories to tell (and eventually, don't worry, they will tell them), and they all have different motives for coming to the class.
Mavis wants them all to have a good time in their dancing, but none of them, except perhaps for a fat and jolly West Indian woman, is happy at home. Even Mavis isn't happy at home - and the rigid Mrs. Fraser also has her own guilty secret.
The play is openly manipulative. It has a puppy-like need to be liked, and to be thought funny and touching by turn. Of course, it is not. It is merely coarse, clumsy, and maudlin.
Its jokes are signaled a mile off. Its characters have the depth of waxworks in cartoon. Their troubles are agony-column conventional.
As we get to know them - a lonely widower here, a battered wife there, a woman whose second husband is rather more than a father to her daughter, or a little tax inspector sacrificing her life to her mother - they seem to become less interesting rather than more.
The structure - the revelation of character in an ongoing setting - seems like a cooled down version of "Steaming," that earlier British import about a Ladies' Turkish Bath.
Even the actual texture of "Stepping Out" - as we watch one interminable tap-dance lesson after another, with each student seemingly more maladroit than the next - has an almost numbing consistency to it.
Yet Mr. Harris has done one mildly clever thing, and one wildly clever thing.
It is mildly clever to realize that audiences, accustomed to TV series, have been conditioned to an episodic structure that concentrates on diverse characters relating to one another in a specific setting.
"Stepping Out" could be the pilot for a TV series about a tap-dance studio. It is probably as good a place as a cruise liner, a hotel, or a bar.
But what is wildly clever has been Harris's unerring judgment in discerning that we are all klutzes at heart, or at feet. We all want to be Fred Astaire, and we will root for any one with the guts to have a go at it.
The fact that these people are taking dance classes, with the extraordinary disadvantage of no discernible innate talent, warms our soul of soles.
Halfway through, Mavis is asked to get them together for a charity show. And, against all odds except dramatic requirement, they triumph.
And - honestly, I kid you not - however much we may have suffered during the play, and it is not easy going, our hearts go out to them in their triumph. They - our clumsy surrogates - have made it. And for us - the little people in the audience.
Smart! Also smart is Tommy Tune's staging (the effect is not so much different from the London production, although the acting is more TV-style effective than in the lower-keyed original) and the go-up-and-get-them performances.
The foot-in-mouth dancing is beautifully handled by everyone, not least by the show's one genuine dancer, apart from Pamela Sousa's sweet-suffering Mavis: Janet Eilber, a former star with Martha Graham.
Miss Eilber, as a neurotic Englishwoman with two left feet, is only one of the evening's superior caricatures, including Carole Shelley as a wisecracking storekeeper, Marcell Rosenblatt as a fluffily excitable tax inspector, Cherry Jones as a tender-hearted nurse, and Don Amendolia as the dour, evasive widower.
I didn't really admire "Stepping Out" in London, and I don't really admire it now, but on both occasions I loved the show's finale (Tune's new choreography is a modest plus here, by the way), and, more important, I loved the total concept of amateurism that gives that finale its fillip of heart.
The play, if you like, is as ramshackle as the dancing it celebrates; but if you relax you can identify with its gutsiness, actually root for its people, and accept and embrace the show's one curious but, as we say, very real pleasure.
Ten minutes before the end of ''Stepping Out,'' the new English play at the Golden, a group of Londoners from many humdrum walks of life suddenly meld into a high-stepping chorus line. For two acts we've followed these characters, the middle-class participants in a weekly adult dance class, as they've prepared for this golden moment at center stage in a charity pageant. Once the spectacle arrives, it doesn't disappoint. Tommy Tune, the director of ''Stepping Out,'' sweeps aside the play's gloomy basement set for glitzy backdrops, top hats, white gloves, canes and, with due respect to Michael Bennett, mirrors. The aging klutzes of the dance class are reborn - not as tap stars worthy of Mr. Tune's previous ''My One and Only,'' but as a team of proud amateurs sharing the exhilaration of reaching a once unattainable goal.
The song that accompanies the finale is ''Shaking the Blues Away,'' and, while it achieves that aim, it does so not a moment too soon. The audience at ''Stepping Out'' has waited two hours to receive its 10 sustained minutes of fun. What precedes the play's joyful chorus-line payoff is not, as one might wish, ''A Chorus Line'' - or, for that matter, even ''Smile'' - but is instead a less authentic variant of Nell Dunn's ''Steaming,'' the last hit West End sitcom about female consciousness raising to reach Broadway. This time, the playwright is a man, the boulevard writer Richard Harris (''The Business of Murder''), and, the setting being a church hall rather than a steam bath, the characters don't let down anything more revealing than their hair.
Most of ''Stepping Out'' consists of innocuous chitchat among acquaintances whose personalities are less precisely defined than their primitive tap technique. One trait per person is the order of Mr. Harris's characterizations. His women include a loudmouthed shop owner (Carole Shelley), a nouveau-riche busybody (Meagen Fay), an overweight West Indian with ''music in her soul'' (Carol Woods), a gum-chewing vulgarian (Sheryl Sciro), a prim nurse (Cherry Jones) and so on. The class's token man (Don Amendolia) is an ineffectual insurance salesman, while the instructor (Pamela Sousa) and pianist (Victoria Boothby) are an equally cliched former chorus girl and crochety, teetotaling spinster. For the sake of drama and conflict - or maybe just to forestall the finale - Mr. Harris arbitrarily assigns these players a few temper tantrums and dark revelations (an abortion, a brutal husband, a hidden past or insecurity) during the more confrontational second act.
The conversations might be more entertaining if they featured a larger assortment of jokes than the few scattered wisecracks dependent on references to armpits and men's underwear. It's possible, too, that we'd care more about the characters' various hopes and fears - and find their final group triumph more personal and moving - if the roles were fleshed out by a crack acting ensemble like the one Mr. Tune assembled for Caryl Churchill's more sophisticated English comedy of the 1980's, ''Cloud 9.'' In ''Stepping Out,'' two accomplished comediennes, Ms. Shelley and Ms. Fay, are asked to oversell their jokes with broad winks, while other performers are miscast and, in some cases, suffer accent slippage. The saddest waste is Janet Eilber, the lovely one-time Martha Graham dancer who must gamely sulk her way through Mr. Harris's most thankless part, that of an unhappily married anti-bomb protester.
Everyone comes alive during the dance rehearsals: Mr. Amendolia and Ms. Fay are the funniest at inept tapping, while Ms. Sousa has the most graceful sustained solo. But the bulk of the evening is danceless, and Mr. Tune has invested so little energy in the dialogue scenes that he seems as uninterested in them as we are. During one particularly perfunctory exchange, an irrelevant yet prolonged discussion of the perils of owning a bicycle in contemporary London, ''Stepping Out'' itself seems on the verge of nodding out. Mercifully, the show-stopping finale arrives soon after, but can a show-stopper still be called a show-stopper when there isn't a show to stop?

Lonely Planet's 10 reasons to visit Boston
Feasting on creatures of the sea and cuisines of the world
Boston is the home of the first Thanksgiving and of bountiful autumnal harvests. It is one of the United State's best cities for seafood, famed for clam chowder and boiled lobster. And it is a rich mix of ethnic flavours from all corners of the world. Is your mouth watering yet?
Cheering on the runners as they cross the finish line
Patriots' Day - officially celebrated on the third Monday in April - means more than Paul Revere's ride and "the shot heard around the world". Since 1897, Patriots' Day has also meant the Boston Marathon. Fifteen people ran that first race (only 10 finished); these days, the Boston Marathon attracts more than 20,000 participants annually.
Reflecting or recreating at Thoreau's sanctuary
Thoreau took the naturalist beliefs of transcendentalism out of the realm of theory and into practice when he left the comforts of Concord and built himself a rustic cabin on the shores of the pond. His famous memoir of his time spent there, Walden, or Life in the Woods (1854), was full of praise for nature and disapproval of the stresses of civilized life - sentiments that have found an eager audience ever since. The glacial pond is now a state park, surrounded by acres of forest.

Pleurotus giganteus (Berk.) Karunarathna & K.D. Hyde: Nutritional value and in vitro neurite outgrowth activity in rat pheochromocytoma cells

Drugs dedicated to alleviate neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's have always been associated with debilitating side effects. Medicinal mushrooms which harness neuropharmacological compounds offer a potential possibility for protection against such diseases. Pleurotus giganteus (formerly known as Panus giganteus) has been consumed by the indigenous people in Peninsular Malaysia for many years. Domestication of this wild mushroom is gaining popularity but to our knowledge, medicinal properties reported for this culinary mushroom are minimal.
The fruiting bodies P. giganteus were analysed for its nutritional values. Cytotoxicity of the mushroom's aqueous and ethanolic extracts towards PC12, a rat pheochromocytoma cell line was assessed by using 3-[4,5-dimethythiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. Neurite outgrowth stimulation assay was carried out with nerve growth factor (NGF) as control. To elucidate signaling mechanisms involved by mushroom extract-induced neurite outgrowth, treatment of specific inhibitor for MEK/ERK and PI3K signalling pathway was carried out.
The fruiting bodies of P. giganteus were found to have high carbohydrate, dietary fibre, potassium, phenolic compounds and triterpenoids. Both aqueous and ethanolic extracts induced neurite outgrowth of PC12 cells in a dose- and time-dependant manner with no detectable cytotoxic effect. At day 3, 25 μg/ml of aqueous extract and 15 μg/ml of ethanolic extract showed the highest percentage of neurite-bearing cells, i.e. 31.7 ± 1.1% and 33.3 ± 0.9%; respectively. Inhibition treatment results suggested that MEK/ERK and PI3K/Akt are responsible for neurite outgrowth of PC12 cells stimulated by P. giganteus extract. The high potassium content (1345.7 mg/100 g) may be responsible for promoting neurite extension, too.
P. giganteus contains bioactive compounds that mimic NGF and are responsible for neurite stimulation. Hence, this mushroom may be developed as a nutraceutical for the mitigation of neurodegenerative diseases.

Hi, something I seen quite often on seed packages is that the seeds can be planted every 2 weeks all summer, through August, etc. For example, I'm about to sow some bush bean seeds and have a square or two to use. Assuming I use 9 seeds per square, would this mean that I would plant 1 row of 3 seeds every 2 weeks? This would give me 2wks x 6 rows of seeding. Does that seem about right?
What other strategies do you use for planting seeds that can be sown all summer? Perhaps replace early crops (like radish) with beans later on? cheers! |

I feel that you'll need to plant both squares at the same time to make it worth your while...More squares would be even better. Yes, as soon as the radishes finish, plant that square as well. EG |

I want as much garden space growing things as I can possibly fit in. So, I tend to have short early season crops (like leaf lettuce) and some longer early season crops (peas and romaine lettuce), they get replaced as they finish with either more lettuce or some root crops. I continue to pull plants as their peak producing period comes and replant continually. I start some zucchini early, and some later, when I pull the first zucchini, before it gets ridiculously large and takes over the garden! I don't have a stretch (more than a week) without zucchini based on this rotation. Getting back to your original question, I would plant no less than a single block at a time. 9 bean plants will give a nice yield, but only 3 wouldn't produce enough at once, IMHO. Definitely replant squares that are no longer producing! (oh and remember to add more compost/fertilizer when replanting!) |
Most bush beans will produce all summer if you keep them picked. It will take a week or so for new flowers to form. Except for commercial use I never could understand the reason for pulling up and things like beans when with a little patience you can continue to harvest until frost. But by planting two groups two weeks apart you should not have any gaps in production. |

the problem with the hanger bay is it doesn't seem to make much sense with the other capitals that can already carry ships.
for example, the silhouette 5 Marauder cruiser can carry 12 fighters & 2 shuttles = about 40 silhouette, not 5 as per the attachment. admittedly, this is not a retrofit, but 5 vs 40 is a huge jump.
Two things:
- Silhouette is a size *category*, not a particular size. The Marauder (195 meters), is significantly larger than the Wayfarer (82 meters). Based on the available measurements, you could likely fit upwards of 8 Wayfarers inside the volume of a single Marauder.
- There's a huge difference between a) stocking craft in a purpose-built hangar, and b) modifying a craft that was never intended to *have* a hangar such that it can launch, and land craft at a moment's notice. That difference is an enormous part of why a retrofitted hangar gives so little capacity compared to purpose-built carriers.
i get what you're saying, but the difference just seems so huge.
like shadai said, i'd prefer something a little more concrete. i get the abstraction to some extent, but i think they went a little too far that way. but, that's my preference, not ffg's failing.

Ford Explorer Door and Body Questions
The location of the '06 interior door grab handles is an abomination. I added grab pockets to the armrests of mine, cutting a hole and adding a pocket from a farm tractor cab door. It looks factory. If you want to know more, e-mail me and I'll send you photos and a discussion of what problems you could encounter. firstname.lastname@example.com
lcarben Posts: 2For a few days now, my 2002 Ford Explorer has been experiencing some electrical problems.
1. The door ajar light stays on continuously.
2. The power door locks do not engage when driving.
3. The overhead light stays on continuously.(I had to remove it because it got so hot)
I had checked the fuses and they are all tight and look ok (I do not know what a blown fuse looks like)
Can someone offer any advice?
Thank you -
lcarben Posts: 2Thank you. I did look in that area and found a solution.
[QUOTE] I have this problem with my 96 XLT sometimes. I have discovered that it is the glass hatch and it has something to do with the latch. I sprayed the glass window hatch mechanism with a good amount of WD-40 and it hasn't happened since. I think this is a Ford issue because I have a co-worker who's Expedition did the exact same thing.

I sprayed all the latches on my explorer and problem solved! -
wendyjh Posts: 1Hello, I just bought a 96 Explorer Sport.
They gave me only one key.
The one key works fine on both front doors and ignition.
However, I am unable to use it to turn the lock on the rear door/ tail gate/hatch/window, which ever, whatever it's called.
Unable to open the rear door or window.
It is locked.
Did this model and year require two keys?
One separate key for the back entry door?
Is there an inside button or lever to release the back?
Please HELP ME!

daleos Posts: 1I own a 99 Explorer. It is 6 degrees here in Billings, MT and my battery is dead. I cannot open the hood to jump start or replace the battery. The hood latch in the interior below the dash has a lot of slack in the cable, so no matter how much I pull the latch, the hood will not pop open. Is there a way to open the hood from the outside? Please help!
bonnettv Posts: 1I have the same problem with my 2002 Ford Explorer Sport Trac that I just purchased the end of 2006.

Has anybody found a fix to this problem?

stever Viva Las CrucesPosts: 42,396The first thing I'd do is upload your photos to an Album on your CarSpace page. It's easy - the add photo stuff browses your local computer drive and it's just point and click from there. [Edit - oh shoot, you've done that - you're way ahead of me. :shades: ]
Then look at the Guides tab at the top of the site there - that link will open to some text boxes that will let you enter your mod information. Then follow the Submit a Guide link on the left side to open the editing section for a new guide.
When you get down to the Guide Details section, there's a button you can use to insert images along with your modification text if you wish. That button will ask for the URL link for the image, and you can find the URLs easily by viewing the photos you previously uploaded to your CarSpace Album (the links are set out in boxes beneath each photo for easy copying and pasting).

ghauser Posts: 6Thanks for the kind words, nvbanker. I now hate my Explorer much less than I did at first. Another fix I did was much less elegant than the armrest pockets: I taped a piece of lightly-fogged film over the exceedingly-bright high beam indicator. Ugly, but it serves the purpose until I can think of something else. Incidentally, with a light meter I measured the high beam lights' light reflected from a white target at 120 yards, both with my '02 Explorer which has projector beams, which are the high beams, integrated into the low beam housings, and with the '06. I found 13% less light from the '06. But of course. They have done away with the projector beams and replaced them with the turn signal bulb. Now they are faced with the problem of placing both the low beam filament and the high beam filament at the focal point of the quasi-parabolic reflector, which they really can't do. (That's the reason companies went to the quad headlight system back in 1968 or whenever it was.)
Cheers! -
rmncoknme Posts: 18I also have a 99 Explorer, and this happened to me. On mine, the hinge on the primary hood release was rusted. If you have a flashlight, shine it into the hood release mechanism just below the hood. You will see the hook. Take a long screwdriver, about 1/2" wide, and put it into the hook. Turn it to disengage (pushing the hook upward). Probably best to hit it with some lubricant if you can before trying; in the best of luck this might just pop it loose and you can skip the screwdriver. When I finally got mine open, I took the hook assembly out and gave it a thorough lubrication with a lube that leaves a dry wax behind (bicycle chain lube of all things), and opened/closed several times to verify all was smooth.
nvbanker Posts: 7,285Hadn't noticed any distress from the High-Beam indicator in mine, but now that you bring it up, I'll check it out tonight and see if it can irritate me. I find it interesting the changes made over the years, most of them great, some of them just moronic, and you wonder who designs some of these things. This is my 6th Explorer/Mountaineer, so I've been through all the iterations. My 98 was kind of the high water mark in some ways, as it had the 5.0L motor which was a powerhouse of torque and reliability, and the 4AOD transmission - also a hallmark of durability. They were nimble, if not tippy.
The 02 had the genius of the 3rd seat, and a better ride from the IRS, but the fabulous seats were gone, and cheap seats were in, and the second seat became unremarkable. The 4.6L was good, but the gear ratios with the 5 speed were goofy - you had some hesitation out of the hole, and yet it ran out of steam at high speed rather quickly, and wasn't that great for towing. The 06 with the 6 speed and increased HP seems to have corrected all of that. Now that it shifts well, it runs much more like my 97 and 98 did. If it weren't for that damn door panel, it would be about perfect, as the seats are better also! -
ghauser Posts: 6Good observations. My 06 seems a bit more willing to shift down -- as at the slightest provocation -- than I'd like, which I wonder if is responsible for the poorer mileage I'm seeing compared with the 02. But to try to be fair, it is winter and it isn't broken in yet so I'm willing to give it a chance.
Incidentally, as an addendum to the door pocket guide I should make formal recognition of what should be obvious: if you do it you now have a hole in the top of your armrest. If you have pointy elbows and find that you rest them there, you may not want to do the mod, or else find a smaller cup to use. It isn't an issue for me because in my driving position (I sit way back), my elbow misses it, but my wife's distance from the steering wheel lets hers come in the wrong place. Fortunately, she drives it but seldom, so we're still friends.
I agree the seats are very good, the car is very quiet and the ride is great. -
nvbanker Posts: 7,285I'm getting the best mileage ever from the 06 - and I credit the transmission, since the motor is the largest output yet. It is my wife's car mainly, so I have not yet modified the armrest as I am afraid of her complaint about her elbow plus, she doesn't mind the ridiculous pull handle like I do. She also loves the open handle, which I also think is sort of offbeat. Personally, the door panel in the 04 we still have is about perfect for me. Hope they go back to it.
rappwizard Posts: 3Thanks, I am going to try this. I have a '98 EB and the same thing happened, but to the front passenger side door. By lock cylinder, I am assuming you mean where the key goes in, the cylinder on the outside.
My husband is using the car today, so I am going to try it when he gets home. -
allyb Posts: 1My hatchback wouldn't open a couple of times before and now won't open at all,although the window still will. When I squeeze the handle, nothing....Any suggestions on how I could fix it myself or find a schematic of the interior workings so I could figure it out? Anyone else have this problem?

dutchshot Posts: 5I have a 92 Explorer with a moonroof. The moonroof is stuck in the open position and the switch is gone(bought it this way). Is there anyway to manually close this? the wiring that is hanging down from the roof where the switch was has no hot wires. I would like to get it working, but closing it is top priority for now.
thanks for any help.
