Cell-surface microvilli play a central role in adhesion, fusion, and signaling processes. Some adhesion and signaling receptors segregate on microvilli but the determinants of this localization remain mostly unknown. In this study, we considered CD4, a receptor involved in immune response and HIV infection, and p56(Lck), a CD4-associated tyrosine kinase. Analysis of CD4 trafficking reveals that p56(Lck) binds tightly to CD4 independently of its activation state and inhibits CD4 internalization. Electron microscopy analysis established that p56(Lck) mediates CD4 association with microvilli whereas biochemical data indicate that p56(Lck) expression renders CD4 insoluble by the nonionic detergent Triton X-100. In addition, cytoskeleton-disrupting agent increased CD4 solubility, suggesting the involvement of cytoskeletal elements in CD4 anchoring to microvilli. This concept was supported further by the observation that the lateral mobility of CD4 within the plasma membrane was decreased in cells expressing p56(Lck). Finally, isolation of detergent-resistant membranes revealed that the complex CD4-p56(Lck) is enriched within these domains as opposed to conditions in which CD4 does not interact with p56(Lck). In conclusion, our results show that p56(Lck) targets CD4 to specialized lipid microdomains preferentially localized on microvilli. This localization, which prevents CD4 internalization, might facilitate CD4-mediated adhesion processes and could correspond to the signaling site of the receptor.

berm (alt. berme)1. A narrow shelf, path, or ledge typically at the top or bottom of an escarpment or beside a road. 2. A mound or wall of earth. GardenWeb Glossary of Botanical TermsNew Search: ...
Building a BermBerms are oftentimes constructed using some kind of fill such as sand, plant debris, rubble or asphalt and soil. Simply use the fill material for the bulk of the berm, forming its shape around it with soil and firmly tamping.
So, the happy couple set about building their berm. Their first step was to have dirt (note: "dirt"; not "soil") brought in from some other development site. This is a common way for people to get dirt in our area.
BERM - A landscaping technique that is used to create interest, privacy, or screening. It may also divert water runoff. It is made by creating a mound of earth or a hill.
A berm is a raised bed area where the gardener elevates the bed by bringing in a higher quality topsoil and building the planting bed up from ground level by at least 10 inches.
A berm is a mound of soil brought in to create a garden bed. MoreHow to Edge a Garden... garden or creating a permanent edge using brick, rock or wood. Edging helps. More ...
How to Make a BermIf you have a flat backyard that needs some definition, consider building a berm. A berm is a wedge-shaped hill that divides up areas of the yard, provides an additional planting surface and directs drainage to specific areas.
To construct the wetland with a small berm to hold back water for a few days or weeks: Put a stake in the center of the lowest portion of the drainage-way where you want the berm.
Create a raised bed or berm between you and the source of the noise or dig a sunken seating area.- Densely plant a mixture of woody and herbaceous perennials; ornamental grasses are especially useful, as they grow quickly.
Step 4 Construct your berm by building it up to the desired finished height with soil, flat rocks or sod. To make sure your berm is as level as possible, pound a long stake into the center of your rain garden.
But the most hassle with this landscape makeover: The six-foot berm, installed with plantings for privacy from the neighbors, which was met with objections from the neighborhood's architectural review board.
If the soil where an aspen tree is to be planted has a high content of clay, build a berm of sandy loam 18 to 24 inches high. A berm is a mound or wall of earth. The berm should be mulched and several plants should be planted in the bed.
An east facing bank or berm is ideal. Soil generally must be amended, or mixed with organic material, to make it porous.
If you have heavy clay soil you should plant the trees on a berm (mound) of soil that has been well amended with organic matter.
A good watering technique is to make a low berm of soil a few inches high in a circle about 12-18" out from the base of the plant.
Create channels along side of your plants to direct the rain water to them Create a berm around the perimeter of your garden to help hold rain water in that area ...
- You can build up a small berm of soil in the shape of a circle around the hole so that your watering is more effective.
Always allow the water to reach the top of the berm built around the plant. This will provide deep water penetration and encourage widespread root development.
Create it by creating a mound or berm, or a raised planting bed using a retaining curb such as logs, timbers or rocks. It is best if the base is a material with good drainage like gravel.
Structure is another important element to consider. You can form structure by creating a berm if the area is flat.Garden arbors and trellises are another way to add structure and are perfect for growing flowering vines.

However, you can also slope the bed down so that it is a berm and does not need to be retained.
Or, evergreen trees combined with a wall, fence, or earth berm (natural or man-made walls or raised areas of soil) can deflect or lift the wind over the home.
Slope the sides gradually from the outside edge to the deepest area. Use the soil that you remove to build up a slightly raised area on the lowest side of the garden. This berm will help contain the stormwater and allow it to percolate slowly ...
Dig a test hole as deep as your planting hole and fill with water. If water drains at a rate of less than one inch per hour, consider installing drainage to carry water away from the planting hole base, or moving or raising the planting site (berm ...
Form a raised ridge of soil around the outside edge of the hole so it acts like a berm to help hold in water. Spread mulch 2-3 inches deep over the root zone, but keep it several inches away from the trunk.

The big draw in Monterey and Big Sur is the spectacular natural beauty. Whether you're coming to visit the aquarium, play golf, or laze the day away, nearly every activity on the peninsula is inspired by the scenery. The local pace reflects this: Come nightfall, the sidewalks roll up, so plan to get an early start. Note that the major sights in the area are spread out; driving between Monterey and Big Sur takes 45 minutes with no traffic, more during rush hour or on holiday weekends.

In this article the authors suggest that civic skills and civic knowledge are key components of the political information perception process and try to determine the differential effects of these variables on civic engagement. Starting from a model proposed by Torney-Purta, Lehmann, Oswald & Schulz, they developed an alternative model to explain the likelihood to vote in the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement Civic Education Study Standard Population of 14 year-olds tested in 1999. Results indicate that home environment and school-related factors predict civic knowledge and skills equally well. However, the direct effects of civic knowledge on likelihood to vote appear to be stronger than the corresponding effects of civic skills in 23 out of 28 countries. The evaluation of total effects highlights the meaning of an open classroom climate for discussion with reference to the likelihood to vote.

The Serbian Environmental Protection Agency (SEPA) is a governmental institution under the supervision of the Ministry of Environment and Spatial Planning. Its main task is development, management and coordination of the national environmental information system, collection and integration of the environmental data, production of yearly state of the environment reports also giving recommendations for future steps aiming a general improvement in this field.
SEPA was founded by the Law on Ministries in 2004 as a specific organization within the Ministry of Environmental Protection and it became operational in November 2004.
In 2010 the Agency has a budget of 440.000 Euros. The SEPA has 29 employees, of whom 58 % are women.
Serbian Environmental Protection Agency has following objectives:
During the year 2008/2009, SEPA increased its reporting towards EEA in both quantitative and qualitative way and according to the EEA score (available at http://www.eionet.europa.eu/dataflows/pdf2008) Serbian level of reporting reached 75%, a significant improvement from previous year (2007/2008 – 60%).
The set of new Environmental laws adopted in Parliament in May 2009, gives SEPA a set of new responsibilities in the field of communal and industrial pollution particularly in the field of noise, waste, packaging and packaging waste, GHG register etc.
For the first time SEPA invited to get directly involved in the creation of the European State of the Environment Report 2010 (SOER 2010).
At the regional level, during the year 2008, SEPA was involved in the project "Building up of regular environment reporting system according to the EEA Core Set of Indicators for the west Balkan countries", led by EEA and UNEP/GRID Arendal, resulting with the set of 19 regional environmental indicators.At international level SEPA acts as National Focal Point and National Reference Centre for different thematic areas towards European Environment Agency.

Heise, a German computer magazine, tweaked their website to force users to click on the Facebook 'Like' button before it activates.
This protects your privacy because, normally, the button image (downloaded from Facebook's servers) automatically tells Facebook that you're visiting that page when it loads.
Facebook didn't seem to like that very much, which they said as much in their reply to the site. The fact is even if you don't click on the Like button, it's giving all sorts of valuable data to Facebook, namely the site's you're visiting, whether you "Like" them or not.
But if the "Like" button isn't loaded from Facebook (it's a locally-hosted image in Heise's case), it doesn't know what site's you're going to.
My comments
Of course Facebook doesn't "like" it if you disable their Like button: that's where they're getting all their tracking info. My opinion: don't browse the web logged into Facebook.
So is the "Like" button something you can live without, or can't live without?

TV. Planet Hunters. "Diamond" Planet Found; May Be Stripped Star. An exotic planet as dense as diamond has been found in the Milky Way, and astronomers think the world is a former star that got transformed by its orbital partner. The odd planet was discovered orbiting what's known as a millisecond pulsar—a tiny, fast-spinning corpse of a massive star that died in a supernova. Astronomers estimate that the newfound planet is 34,175 miles (55,000 kilometers) across, or about five times Earth's diameter. In addition, "we are very confident it has a density about 18 times that of water," said study leader Matthew Bailes, an astronomer at the Swinburne Centre for Astrophysics & Supercomputing in Melbourne, Australia.
Double-sun "Star Wars" planet discovered.
How the universe appeared from nothing. MacGregor Campbell, consultant There's no such thing as a free lunch, or so the saying goes, but that may not be true on the grandest, cosmic scale.
Many physicists now believe that the universe arose out of nothingness during the Big Bang which means that nothing must have somehow turned into something. How could that be possible? Due to the weirdness of quantum mechanics, nothing transforms into something all the time. Heisenberg's uncertainty principle states that a system can never have precisely zero energy and since energy and mass are equivalent, pairs of particles can form spontaneously as long as they annihilate one another very quickly.

Unmanned rocket delivers supplies to ISS. Did asteroids spark life on Earth? Astronomy. 'Second sun' on its way. First Habitable Exoplanet? Climate Simulation Reveals New Candidate That Could Support Earth-Like Life. Hottest planet is hotter than some stars - space - 19 January 2011. Astronomers have found the hottest planet yet, a gas giant with a temperature of nearly 3200 °C, which is hotter than some stars.
A collaboration called the Super Wide Angle Search for Planets (SuperWASP) announced hints of the planet's existence in 2006. The group had observed periodic dimmings of the parent star possibly caused by a planet about 1.4 times the size of Jupiter passing in front of the star once per orbit. Follow-up measurements confirmed the planet's presence in 2010, showing distortions of the star's light spectrum that could only be due to a planet's influence.

In this new series, we take you on the open road. Get ready to put your hands on the wheel as we give you the insider's edge when taking your road trip. We're going to satisfy your wanderlust and let you in on the best things to eat, see and do. First, let's make our way up into Toronto.
My husband and I have compared taking a road trip to eating at a buffet – you get a little bit of everything in a short amount of time. When you have a destination in mind, I recommend mapping out adventures along the way. If you're coming from the East Coast like I did, drive through the historic Hudson Valley and take in the mountainous views.
Whether it's the vibrant foliage of the fall, or the snow-covered trees in the winter, make a pit stop in Poughkeepsie at the Walkway Over the Hudson. Open from dusk until dawn, the former Poughkeepsie-Highland Railroad Bridge was restored in 2009 after years of neglect and turned into a 1.28-mile deck for pedestrians, hikers and cyclists.
Three hours north, have lunch at the famous Dinosaur BBQ in Syracuse. The restaurant itself is all about comfort, with their delicious, slow-cooked barbecue and dimly-lit, faded brick walls. Start with the Dinosaur poutine with pulled pork, and then choose from an array of multi-meat combos (or be daring and get the frog legs like I did – tastes like chicken).
Once you crossover to our friendly neighbors to the north, you have to pull over and see the majesty of Niagara Falls. Special thanks to the ice melting 10,000 years ago, giving us this breathtaking natural wonder. And yes, the view really is better from the Canadian border!
From Niagara Falls there's only an hour and a half until you hit Toronto, Canada's largest city. I have been to a lot of major cities, and what I love about Toronto is that every street has art galleries, uniquely themed restaurants and clothing stores. Usually in large cities you'll find one or two main streets, but Toronto seems like it has something at every corner.
If you're a comic book nerd like my husband and me, you have to visit Casa Loma where the first "X-Men" film was shot. This Gothic, Revival style castle is set atop a hill in the middle of the city!, which is really cool to see so close to high-rise buildings. It was originally a residence for financier Sir Henry Mill Pellatt. , who eventually had to auction off his 98-room mansion after falling into financial turmoil.
Ossington Avenue is quickly becoming Toronto's coolest neighborhood. If you have to pick one place on the strip to visit, grab a beer at the newly opened Bellwoods Brewery. You can enjoy a refreshing light ale or dark stout out on the street-side patio (they have heat lamps in the winter), or stay inside and enjoy the décor with large kettles to the back and chalk-written menus on the walls. The food is some of the best I have ever had and it's so inexpensive! I recommend getting the fries with toscano cheese, thyme, rosemary, served with siracha mayo. If you have a lot of moxie, try the ducks hearts with spicy oil.
If you're going to visit Toronto, you do have to do one super touristy thing: visit the Royal Ontario Museum. Not only is it one of the largest museums in North America, but the architecture alone is stunning. In addition to its collection of complete dinosaurs skeletons, it's also cool seeing the history of Canada told through the eyes of Canadians. Also, Canada's history with the United States told through someone else's viewpoint was something to chew on.
After seeing the United States from coast to coast in less than two weeks, Jenine loves exploring every inch of this beautiful country. Jenine can never stay in one place for too long. She enjoys good food that is influenced by different regions, a good brewery and the breeze blowing through her hair. The car is her home.

The Vincent and Lois Hrabrich Home PageUpdated September 5, 2000 |
I am researching the following surnames; Hrabrich, Hmurovic, Rogina, Yazvec, Berchin, and Dujmovic. The families originated in Austria-Hungary, Croatia, and Czechoslovakia. They all immigrated to the US during the early 1900's, settling in Pennsylvania and Indiana. I am particularly having a problem locating any information about my grandfather, Joseph Rogina's family from Croatia. He was born on 12/31/1892, ran away from home at about the age of 12, immigrated to the US at about age 18 and never communicated with his home. |

Khloe is definitely the epitome of a strong woman. She proved that she's not letting her alleged marriage troubles get her down by celebrating Labor Day at Katy Perry's party — and she even had on her wedding ring!
She may not be made of steel, but Khloe Kardashian is pretty close to it.
Khloe Kardashian Puts Ring Back On During Marriage Troubles
On Sept. 2, Khloe was spotted heading to Katy Perry's Labor Day party where she celebrated with friends, and posted a picture on Instagram looking happy and gorgeous hanging out with friends Jen Atkin and Malika Haqq.
On her way to the party, Khloe's wedding ring was visible, despite the troubles that her husband, NBA star Lamar Odom has been going through. Lamar was pulled over and arrested for DUI on Aug. 30, on the heels of multiple reports that Lamar had been using drugs.
On Aug. 23, Khloe was spotted leaving the gym in Los Angeles with no ring, so it's nice to see she's put it back on, despite the issues they may be having.
Khloe has been staying strong — or at least appearing to. On the day of the arrest, she posted a glam photo having fun with friends and later tweeted, "Smile and no one will notice."
Lamar Odom's Arrest May Be Last Straw For Khloe
Khloe, who has continually supported Lamar and his career, may have been pushed to the edge after the arrest, HollywoodLife.com exclusively learned.
"Everybody is going to bat for this guy and he turns around and does something stupid like this," a source close to the family told us. "I always said this was going to be something hard for him to kick, I just didn't know he would mess up like this so soon. I don't know how much Khloe can take. She's got people in her ear telling her to 'bail on Lamar' and saying s–t like, 'You've done all you can do, now it's his turn.' But Khloe's got her own mind and will make her own decisions.Lamar is putting her through the ringer and it's unfair."
Are you happy that Khloe's put her wedding ring back on? Let us know!

lamar = fraud. weak minded out of control. blaming everyone for his mistakes and bad bad choices. decietful and manipulative. just a coward that runs from his problems. the biggest *ussy. Fact- lamar odom sports a bigger camel to than all the k's combined. he is too eratic and unprdictable causes non stop havoc. drama queen central yea thats lamar odom aka camel toe *ussy boy dragging everyone else down with him. no shame in his game. 24/7 liability/pain in the *ss. lamar always goes back to his real wife he supports living downtown l.a. off 7th street. the one who shakes his white *ittays while thinking he is denero,

If Khloe is so broken up about her home problems that she is whining to everyone possible in order to get publicity on every tabloid cover and as many web sites like this one, I think it's inappropriate and strange that she is partying it up at Katy Perry's event. During a divorce when it is really bothering you, you just don't feel like dressing up and going out drinking with a big crowd. That is so typically Kardashian…she needs her ego strokes and sympathy and her name in the papers. Maybe she doesn't feel that terrible after all, huh? I think Lamar does need to focus on his career, or what is left of it. She has damaged his ability to get hired on a pro basketball team by making such a huge public issue out of their personal marital problem.
Posted at 12:52 PM on September 3, 2013
Lamar still wearing his ring so I guess this is the reason. Men can tell you anything just to make you feel okay to get away from you. Lamar is telling friends he is done with her and he ready to wait till she file for divorce so as long as she wait the more she waste her own time. Lamar ready to give her whatever she want since this marriage was all business and for money! Lamar said he can count the times she has cooked over the 4 years they have been married. This is serious,lamar don't want to be attach to any woman again,he just wants to focus on his career and his children. Lamar has hit alot of girls khloe would know and they are good in bed than her.

Today I have a Calendar to share with you all. If you frequent blogs, pinterest or other crafty sites you may have seen something similar to my Calendar. I've seen cute shadow box calendars here and there but the design I used is one I thought of myself. I didn't use a shadow box either. Here's what I did and how:
I started with a $1 frame and some wood planks from Michaels. I wanted to make a Calendar that was cute, fun and useful but also sturdy enough to withstand the choas that invites itself into my craft space which is why I added the little plank to the frame.
First I covered the frame and plank with paper from Close to My Heart. I used the Chantilly paper pack to make my calendar. I used a spray adhesive on the paper then sealed with a matte spray. I'm not great with mod podge and I didn't want to practice at this moment but I know it would work in this situation too. After my paper was added I then attached the wood plank to the bottom of my frame in the center. Unfortunately I could not find planks that were the same length of my frame so if this bothers you I would suggest adding embellishments, little pearls maybe? Or going to a home improvement store and having them cut ones to fit your frame better. To attach the plank to the frame, I used tacky glue and then I used my staple gun just as back up reinforcement. The glue dried quickly and held pretty well so if you don't have a staple gun handy you could probably skip this step. I'm a power tool type of gal so I used my drill to drill holes in the top to hold my Months for the calendar. I don't expect everyone to have a drill so another solution would be to use sticky notes or repositionable glue so that you can remove months or you can just staple them or glue them on and rip off the sheets of paper each month...
I chose the picture frame for a reason - I do plan on putting a picture into my frame I just need to find the right one. Until then I went ahead and covered the front of my cardboard middle piece with some scrap paper from this Chantilly paper pack. I used my Cricut and the Close To My Heart Artiste and Art Philosophy cartridges to cut out the month tags, the blocks for the dates, the bow, and the 3D flowers at the bottom. I attached the Month tags using ribbon, one for each side so that I can just flip each month tag over when a new month rolls around. For the date I made these number blocks. On one it has a 0, 1, 2, 6, 7 and 8 on the other it's 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. I had to go through 1-31 and make sure my number blocks would work for every day. The bows that can be cut from these cartridges are awesomely cute and I just love them so much!! The flowers are my favorite though. So realistic looking!!
That is my desktop calendar, I hope you all enjoy it. Thanks for visiting my blog today!! Have a great Summer :D

Saginaw Bay Watershed Initiative Network (WIN)
Grant Application
WIN Application Form
Learn more about the Saginaw Bay WIN Grants Program priorities and guidelines.
Annual Report
In 2012, Saginaw Bay WIN provided nearly $200,000 to a variety of projects across the region that incorporated environmental, community, and economic impacts.
Saginaw Bay WIN Annual Report 2012
The Saginaw Bay Watershed Initiative Network is a collaborative effort of communities, conservationists, foundations and businesses working to enhance the natural resources of the Saginaw Bay Watershed and create a more sustainable future for all its inhabitants. The Fund administers WIN, which has provided more than $4 million to nearly 200 projects across the Saginaw Bay region since 1998.
Covering 22 counties, Michigan's Saginaw Bay Watershed feeds America's largest contiguous freshwater coastal wetland system with more than 175 inland lakes and 7,000 miles of rivers. It is also home to 138 endangered or threatened species.
With help from the Fund, Saginaw Bay WIN identifies issues, sets priorities and develops projects designed to steward natural resources, strengthen local economies and nurture agriculture and nature-based tourism in the region.
Funding And Grants: Creating Opportunities
Funding is provided for projects that create opportunities to connect people, resources, organizations and programs. Priority is given to projects that are innovative, cross governmental boundaries and attempt to balance the environment, economy and the community. WIN grants have been matched by more than $6 million.
More than 10 area foundations and corporations work together as a network to support WIN projects. These foundations and corporations contribute $300,000 per year to support WIN investments:
SPOTLIGHT: 2013 WIN Grantee, Michigan Baseball Foundation
The Michigan Baseball Foundation launched an effort in October 2012 to enhance sustainability practices across all aspects of the organization with the goal of reducing total energy use, water use and waste by 50 percent by 2020. A nearly $34,000 grant from Saginaw Bay WIN will assist the minor league Great Lakes Loons and Dow Diamond, the team's home stadium, in achieving this goal.
The WIN grant will help the Loons convert lights and occupancy sensors to LED lighting on the exterior and front entries of Dow Diamond. The conversion will save an estimated 60,000 kilowatt hours and should reduce energy use at Dow Diamond by 3.6 percent annually.
"We are grateful for the partnership with Saginaw Bay WIN on this project," said Paul Barbeau, president and general manager of the Loons. "This gift will accelerate our conversion to LED lighting fixtures. We hope our ambitious efforts to conserve energy resources will inspire other businesses and households to consider ways that they too can conserve resources and reduce costs."
Community Action Grant Program
WIN's new Community Action Grant Program awards up to $1000 to organizations that are working to make improvements in their neighborhoods, communities and watersheds within the framework of "sustainability" (projects that contemplate community, environmental and economic impacts). Grant awards are matched 1:1 in cash or equipment. In 2013, seven projects received grant awards:
Augres-Sims School District: AGS Elementary Watershed Project
Devries Nature Conservancy: Community Garden Rain Harvesting
Saginaw Basin Land Conservancy: Sand Point Nature Preserve Boardwalk
BaySail / Appledore Tall Ships: Storm Drain Stenciling
Leon Martuch Chapter Trout Unlimited: Ecoli Sampling Cedar River
Delta College: Sustainability Survival Kits
Village of Chesaning: Showboat Trail Project
Another Action Grant program kicks off in the spring of 2014!
Think It. Share It. Win It
With more than 300 votes cast for the annual "Think it. Share it. WIN it. Making Ideas Count" Facebook contest, we'd like to congratulate the Saginaw Basin Land Conservancy (SBLC) on their WIN! SBLC will receive a $1,000 grant to begin implementing its new Saginaw Bay Birding Trail. Check out SBLC's website for updates!

Rob will be in the house to present the final new 'Breaking Dawn: Part 2′ trailer, according to a new report! Read on for the details.
Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart were both scheduled to appear at this year's MTV Video Music Awards, but then news broke that she had cheated on him with Rupert Sanders and those plans were in serious jeopardy. Now, a new report indicates that Rob will indeed be making an appearance, alongside his co-stars who aren't named Kristen.
People reports that Rob, 26, will be at the Staples Center on Thursday, Sept. 6 to introduce the just-announced 90 seconds of never-before-seen footage from Breaking Dawn: Part 2 that will be presented during the ceremony. He will be on stage alongside Taylor Lautner and various other cast members, the report indicates.
Kristen, meanwhile, will be making her first public appearance since the scandal on the same day, as she's scheduled to appear at a special screening of her new film On The Road at the Toronto Film Festival. A recent sighting of the 22-year-old actress caught her at LAX Airport in Los Angeles departing for Toronto, wearing one of Rob's shirts!
The VMAs air live on Thursday, Sept. 6 at 8:00pm EST on MTV.
Are you excited to see Rob at the VMAs, HollywoodLifers?

If Kristen is missing, every BD promotion has no full effect, despite efforts for opposite claims. People who hate Kristen or who are obsessed by Mr Pattinson know that very well. Luckily for her, she has other business and promotions; she has to stand up, move on and make quality and social engaged films where she is the best. Complete support to Kristen! Cowards and pussies will never have my support!

Real gentleman you say? I just watched the Youtube vedio the posters were talking about on another site here at HWL. After seeing Rob try to strike Kristen in the face and ridicule her, Taylor and some of the other cast members during the 2012 Comic Con interviews and panel discussions I don't know if I would call him a gentleman. Watch the 2012 Comic Con ETalk interview on Youtube and the panel discussion with the reporters where Rob makes disrespectful faces and motions at Kristen, rude motions and faces when Taylor is answering a question and mocks Stephanie when she is talking. Look at the ETalk interview when Rob thought the michs. were off and the cameras had stopped rolling. He goes after Kristen with a vengeance. Rob makes fun of how she talks in interviews, says he wants to push her out of the chair and then raises his hand to strike her. Taylor looks like he could punch Rob. Taylor acted like a gentleman, Kristen made an excuse for Rob when the interviewer looked at him. She told the interviewer he was just making a joke he wouldn't have hit her. This has been going all over the internet. Bet Nick is trying to track it down and get Youtube to pull it for it doesn't make his Heart broken star look like a professional or a gentleman. Kristen started promos for SWATH after Comic Con from what I hear. Maybe Rob and her had already split before this came up so she wasn't cheating on him. Rob's actions would have driven me away.

why shd he stand up for her …..everything in life is a gv and take …..did she spare a thought for him when she was with rupert and well knew it wud hurt Rob terribly !!!
he is a human being not a robot who has a switch to switch off and on his emotions …believe me it is not easy to forgive and forget cheating …..its too soon …pls leave them alone . it is understandable that he does not want her back …what she did really hurt him, leave him to heal in peace he is trying hard to get on with his life .
all the fans who think he shd forgive her and take her back can u guarantee she will not break his heart again ….and what can u do to help him if she does ….let me tell u no one can guarantee anything and u can do nothing to help him in case she does …..he will hv to deal with it on his own .
so as u can do nothing for him u hv no right to tell him what he shd so in his personal life ! so butt out !!

I bought your 15" bag to replace the leaking, ripped sandbags at our club. The premise seemed logical but I could never have expected the results. I shot a friends 6mm PPC from the bench @ 100 yards. I felt immediately comfortable behind the bag. It gripped the fore-end as advertised and yet was soft enough to allow minute corrections. No rear bag, just my left hand for any needed elevation change. A couple of spotting shots and then my effort for group. Two 5 shot groups later, I couldn't believe the results. 5 shots @ .174 and then 5 shots @ .166! Never approach this kind of accuracy before.Amazing but the best was yet to come. The owner of the rifle took his turn. A couple of shot to get comfortable and then group. Looking thru the spotting scope I was amazed. We walked down and measured the group........ .028 !!! NO ONE at the club has ever approached that kind of accuracy. It took weeks for my friend to stop smiling. There were no smiles from the other bench shooters with their $900 micro adjustable front rests and sled designs failed miserably.
Your product is reasonably price, totally portable, seemingly indestructible and gives the shooter the opportunity to ring out the ultimate accuracy from any weapon. Nice to see a product that actually lives up to the hype.
-Dean J. Daniels 11/23/2011
Bulls Bag, here are the pictures of the groups we shot from your 15" bullsbag rest. Two different shooters, one great result speaks volumes about the potential of using your product and the rests add real world useability/ portability in the field.
Keep innovating for the gunmen,


text: Last spring, Amy Vitale left Strings to start Tables, a cozy little spot in Park Hill, with Dustin Barrett. And in the process, the partners moved sandwiches to an entirely new level in this town. Tables' menu recognizes sandwiches for exactly what they should be: transport vehicles for the best ingredients, front-loaded in interesting combinations. So here, a simple turkey sandwich takes on layers of gourmet complexity with the addition of brie and artichoke hearts, fresh tomatoes and handmade herb pesto. Ham and cheese gets a boost from sliced pears, watercress and a smear of apricot jam. And as if great sandwiches weren't enough, Tables recently got a liquor license and has now started offering full dinner service.

Update : Feb. 09, 2007
Tokyo Stock Exchange, Inc. (TSE) held an open competition in order to select a developer for its next-generation trading system, recognizing that this system will become the foundation of the public securities market. The selection process began in August. As a result of the final selection of the competition, the TSE has named FUJITSU LIMITED (FUJITSU) as the developer for its next-generation trading system.
After narrowing down the candidates to 5 groups through document screening last September, the TSE received a proposal in response to a Request for Proposal (RFP) from each company. The TSE first confirmed whether the detailed contents in the proposal met its requirements, and then scored each item in the proposal according to the priorities of functions in the project to make comprehensive evaluations. Then, narrowing down the 5 groups to 2, the TSE further brushed up on its screening, such as checking the items more thoroughly and interviewing people who would be in charge of the project. Through these screening processes, the TSE made its final decision. There are some items that require particularly high-level and advanced technology, such as achieving speediness or simultaneously pursuing both speediness and reliability. As such, the TSE also asked knowledgeable outside persons to participate in this screening process to evaluate the finalists more carefully.
The TSE has been steadily preparing to develop the next-generation trading system since March of this year, which started with visits to stock exchanges in Europe and the US. Upon selecting the developer, the TSE's determination is reaffirmed to have the system in operation during the latter half of 2009. From now on, the TSE will promptly launch a design process and fix the total amount of expenses required to develop the system by June 2007.
FUJITSU has expressed its strong willingness to devote company-wide efforts to the development of the next-generation trading system by putting this project under the immediate supervision of the CEO. FUJITSU and the TSE, with the kind support and cooperation of trading participants, will work as one to further proceed with this important project.

First, Maria beat Kazimova 6-3 6-1, not 0-0 ret. as the ITF site originally said
Second, she did play Antalya that week actually and reached the final! And the Greek Championships took place a few weeks ago and Maria did not participate (neither did Daniilidou, Papamichail, or Vogasari). Agni Stefanou won it all so she automatically gets a spot on the Fed Cup team. I guess Maria didn't play since she will probably get a spot anyways especially now that Gerasimou retired and Georgatou is taking a break and Papamichail is in a huge slump. And yes, although Papamichail's fall actually started a few weeks before then, but she is in her first QF of the year this week (albeit a 10K) but she is showing some signs I guess...
I'm not sure about the tournaments in Greece but I will check it out.
EDIT-I just checked. The tournament in Mytilini takes place every year and usually gets good crowds. There isn't much going on on the island of Lesvos in terms of sporting events so everyone there supports that tournament and they have many sponsors. The tournament in Kalamata is new, but they have hosted men's futures in the past. And I didn't notice that about the Heraklion tournament not being hosted at the resort, but there was a tournament at the same club last year that Papamichail won, and they have had some men's futures there too. But the other 3 scheduled futures for this year in Heraklion will all be at the resort. And they also have a club in Heraklion with 3 grass courts that hosted a men's future a while back. That would be pretty cool since grass courts are rare.
WD Maria! Well deserved final
And actually it wasn't her first final, as she reached the final of 10K Athens last year
Her progress is good though, she will get a new CHR again higher than 580 but not near top 500 as she has some points to defend. But I think as long as she keeps up her form she can go up as long as she stays focused, especially since she didn't play from the beginning of October until the middle of January
In that Antalya tournament where she reached the final, she had some good wins in straight sets over S.Hopper, Bhambri, (4)Al Nabhani, and N.Vajdova! Good work!
Unfortunately this week Maria lost in the 2nd round in Antalya 10K 1-6 3-6 against (3) Eraydin (#417). Hopefully she can rest up a little bit now. She is taking the next two weeks off, and then will play more tournaments in October! Good luck Maria!
Basak is a good player (has won 5 10Ks this year
Hopefully Maria can play well in Heraklion
How did Anett play, BTW
Anett+Them Eesti Gals have to be the best players that ever existed

New Brochure Highlights Use of VICTREX PEEK Wear Polymers in Automotive Transmission Applications
A brochure from Victrex Polymer Solutions highlights the growing need for improved wear resistance in aggressive automobile transmission components. Victrex offers wear grades such as VICTREX® 450FC30 and VICTREX® WG™ polymers that are designed to help deliver greater fuel efficiency with improved performance and reliability in applications where metals, polyimide (PI) and polyamide-imide (PAI) are no longer meeting requirements. These lightweight thermoplastics are aiding the trends of downsizing engines and gear boxes to help meet strict CAFÉ standards mandating that vehicles must achieve 54.5 miles per gallon by 2025.
To illustrate the success of the various VICTREX PEEK wear polymers, the brochure contains comparison charts on the wear rates of PEEK versus PI and PAI, as well as graphs showcasing product benefits such as high temperature performance and compressive strength, vibration and noise dampening, property retention in automotive fluids, and the ability to run temporarily in non-lubricated settings.
VICTREX 450FC30 and VICTREX WG polymers have proven success in applications such as bushings, bearings, seal rings, thrust washers, shift forks, and other transmission components. For more information on these high performance thermoplastics from Victrex, visit http://www.victrex.com.

In the U.S., pigeons were also kept on estates and farms, but some entrepreneurial pigeon-breeders tried to launch large-scale pigeon farms beginning in the early 1900s. They raised large breeds with names like Silver King, Carneau, and Swiss Mondaine. Manuals were published that boasted of the profits to be found in pigeons, but many of these ventures went bust before long. In the end, as agriculture industrialized, squab couldn't compete with chicken, which offers much more meat—indeed, a bucket of fried squab probably wouldn't look very satisfying at a drive-through window. But that's not the only reason squab hasn't taken off.
Squabs require a lot of parenting. Pigeons are altricial, meaning that chicks live in the nest for up to a month before ever venturing out on their own. Chickens, on the other hand, are precocial birds—when chicks hatch they're ready to walk around and find their own food—which makes keeping chickens far more efficient. Also, chickens can lay more than 200 eggs a year, while pigeons can raise only a dozen or so squabs.
Today, a few pigeon farms in the U.S. still sell squab commercially to restaurants and specialty grocery stores. Tony Barwick heads the largest pigeon farm in the country, the Palmetto Pigeon Plant in South Carolina, which produces over 400,000 squabs every year. Barwick says squab was "immensely popular" in the 1800s and early 1900s because American society was largely agrarian and pigeons were easy to keep on farms. But as people moved into cities they left behind their squab-eating ways. Now the squab business is on the rise again, with Asian markets, particularly restaurants in Chinatowns, composing the largest slice of Palmetto's business. Demand for squab also comes from what Barwick calls the "white-tablecloth" market of upscale restaurants, and natural-foods suppliers like Whole Foods (Barwick says his farm has always emphasized all-natural, antibiotic-free birds).
Squab is still eaten around the world, where it figures in several traditional dishes. In Europe, pigeon pie was once a popular meal, but in modern dishes squab is usually served roasted on the bone. In Chinese cooking, the birds are often glazed and deep fried, and served complete with the head. In the Moroccan dish b'stilla (sometimes bastilla or pastilla), pigeon meat is cooked into pastry crust topped with sugar, cinnamon, and almonds. And pigeon is still popular in Egypt, where it is often served grilled or roasted and stuffed.
You may not salivate when you see pigeons in a park battling over a stale inch of pizza crust, but given the bird's enduring reputation--as well as the continuing globalization of the American palate--there's little doubt these dishes will continue to appear on restaurant menus, no matter how unpopular our street pigeons become.

BEST GAY BAR Miami 2002 - Twist
Readers' Choice: Twist
There are two ways to survive as a tourist-town bar: specialize in one thing or cut loose and try everything. SoBe staple Twist unloads the queer-club crate when delivering its weekly party favors. Be it billiards in the lounge, a variety of DJs handling multiple dance floors, impromptu drag queens, or fresh eye candy, this watering hole is a tropical spa for locals and tourists needing the place to soothe before or after emptying their pockets at the cover-charge clubs. Often peaking around 3:00 a.m., its location is choice for those up to doing the town properly. With great drink specials, a friendly and competent bar staff, more rooms than most know about, and a variety of hired strippers at the Bungalow Bar, Twist is a great turn on the gay-circuit map.

Over in Blighty, Milton Keynes is a city, north of London; usually associated to roundabout systems, grid road networks, and occassionally the Concrete Cows, so it was a happy suprise to see the commercial for the cities new "Eco-Park". Quite simply, a great initiative for the children of Milton Keynes and its surrounding areas.
Gullivers Eco Park is an innovative new tourist attraction, providing an exciting but educational family day out where children can discover more about the world around them. The park is part of the Gullivers World Theme Park, one of Britain's top 10 tourist attractions and offers fun learning activities perfect for school educational trips and summer holidays.
Whether it's exploring the world of the dinosaurs or discovering where our food comes from, Gullivers Eco Park offers a family experience of fun and excitement where learning happens naturally through hands-on activities.
The park itself is split into the following themes: Evolution, Land, Water, Energy and also includes educational themes including Healthy Eating, Sustainability, The Environment, Fossils, and Renewable Energy. This is such an interesting project set up for the youth of today, and I cannot wait to get along and speak to the children experiencing it.

Imagine a situation: you step out of the house; you have a bag on your shoulder filled with food and water and some books. You start walking towards south. Then you turn north, and then you board a bus. You meet a friend in the bus and you exchange greetings. Your friend asked you where you want to get down. You were not sure. Well, your friend got down in the next stop and you follow her. You look around. What do you find? Have you reached where you wanted to reach? Hey, wait, you had not decided where you wanted to go in the first place!!
Training Needs Analysis, or TNA, as it is popularly known is "where you want to go" in the above story. It is the goal that you wish to accomplish with a training program. Without a goal, any training program whatsoever is like walking without any direction with an intention to reach nowhere. Define the end. Period.
Q: Is it necessary?
Q: Who needs to do it?
A: Anyone and everyone who has identified a performance gap and considering training a possible solution to addressing the gap. Before planning/organising/conducting a training session in a school/college/organization, small or big, small budget or big budget, TNA is a must.
Q: What is Performance Gap?
A: Performance Gap = Expected Performance – Actual Performance.
Q: Can performance be measured?
A: Yes. Performance metrics have to be decided upon in terms of numbers.
Performance is a result of: Motivation(M) + KSA(Knowledge, Skills & Attitudes) + Environment
Q: How to conduct TNA?A: There are some steps that need to be followed.
- Identify the performance gap.
- TNA should be conducted on three basic metrics:
a. Ogranizational Analysis
b. Operational Analysis
c. Person Analysis
- After an in-depth search has been conducted, think of the possible solutions and list them down.
- Only when lacunae have been identified can a best possible solution be decided. The best possible solution is based on constraints pertaining to budget, time, and resources.
Some things you need to keep in mind before you start a TNA on your own:
- You may not be able to conduct a TNA properly because you see the people every day.
- Not always will the result of TNA point you towards a training program.
- Not every problem can be solved through training workshops
Q: My budgets are small. Can I still do something about the performance gap?
A: We are optimists. We believe every problem has a solution.
Q: Can I conduct TNA on my own, or have someone internally do it?
A: Yes, you can, but the chances of the results being clouded by their opinion (since they are already a part of the environment) will be high and hence the purpose of a TNA gets defied.
