2014-15 Laboratory and University Core Facility Research Equipment Program
Advancing Purdue's Research Enterprise
Office of the Vice President for Research
Purdue University
Proposals – due September 23, 2014
Funds available – January, 2015
Researchers at Purdue University require access to instrumentation, equipment, facilities, software, and databases in order to conduct the world-class research that is expected at a major research university. Funding to support acquisition of high-cost equipment or instruments may be obtained through proposals to external public (federal and state) or private (foundations) sources. Purdue augments these sources with internal funds delivered through this Program because the requirements of many external funding opportunities are poorly matched to specific, lower-cost needs.
The Program intends to remedy needs affecting individual laboratories, multi-investigator user groups, or existing University-level Core Research Facilities (see Definition below). All proposals should address capital assets as defined by Purdue policies (see Definition below). In the case of Core Facility proposals, certain additional costs supporting the establishment of new services also are allowed (see below).
Each proposal must identify a Principal Investigator or Corresponding Principal Investigator who is either a Purdue-WL faculty member (tenured/tenure-track or research) or a Purdue-WL staff member serving as the Director/Technical Leader of a University Core Facility. Faculty PIs not applying for instruments/equipment to be placed in a University Core Facility must have depleted a majority of start-up funds to be eligible. See FAQs for additional information. An individual may be the Principal Investigator for only one application, but may participate in others as a major or minor user. Office and instructional computing equipment are not eligible for this program. See FAQs for additional information regarding eligible computing equipment.
Requests are limited to $100,000 and below.
Capital Equipment: http://www.purdue.edu/business/mas/pdf/QRCCapital.pdf
Core Research Facility: http://www.purdue.edu/research/cores/
The deadline for receipt of proposals is 5:00 PM, Tuesday, September 23, 2014. Proposals must be submitted through the appropriate pre-award center as a single pdf file attachment to an e-mail message addressed to email@example.com. Projects should have a start date of January 15, 2015 and funds must be spent or encumbered by May 31, 2015.
The application must not exceed 5 pages, must use Arial 11 point font with 1.0 inch margins and single line spacing, and must use the supplied template or an extremely close facsimile. The template is available from a link on the following page: https://www.purdue.edu/research/vpr/rschdev/fund_main.php.
Incomplete applications and/or applications that do not meet these requirements will be returned without review.
Cost-sharing is not allowed.
The basic criteria are impact and need.
Impact. For single or multi-investigator proposals, the impact is defined relative to advancement of the investigators' research program(s). For Core Facilities, impact is defined relative to the overall enhancement of the Purdue research enterprise including, but not limited to, the size and breadth of the existing user base across campus and/or opportunities to realize new or enhanced services or serve additional users.
Need. As appropriate for the project, the need will be assessed relative to reduction or removal of research barriers including barriers to external funding, enhancement of the pace or quality of the research, the extent of projected use relative to potential use, and the availability of similar equipment/functions on campus. Proposals that will result in the duplication of existing equipment/functions must include strong scientific and/or practical justification.
All proposals will be reviewed by a faculty panel with representatives from the various Colleges. Funding recommendations will be submitted to the OVPR for final selection.
Application Template: |
The Principal Investigator or an approved designee must submit a final written report describing the impact the equipment had on Purdue research programs highlighting any funding that resulted from the project. Deadlines for reporting are likely to be project specific and will be discussed with awardees. A general rule of thumb is one year after the assets should be in place and in use.
Answers to Frequently Asked Questions follow below. Other questions may be directed to Sheryl Willison (email@example.com), Marietta Harrison ((firstname.lastname@example.com), or Jeff Bolin (email@example.com).

Plants and many microorganisms use solar energy to combine the inorganic molecules carbon dioxide and water into energy-rich organic compounds such as glucose sugar and release oxygen to the environment.
A Representation of Photosynthesis
The overall process of photosynthesis in a plant or algal cell is shown in the graphic below. Plants use use water and the energy provided by sunlight to combine carbon dioxide into glucose sugar with oxygen being released as a waste product.
Equation for Photosynthesis
chloroplasts: organelles that carry on photosynthesis in green plant cells
chlorophylls: the variety of green pigments within the chloroplasts
Chromatography While chlorophyll is the chief pigment responsible for photosynthesis in green plants, many plants contain other colored pigments as well. These chlorophyll and colored pigments may be separated according to their various chemical charges by a technique known as chromatography. In this technique, a mixture of plant pigments is separated by placing a drop or two of pigment on a special paper called chromatography paper which is dipped in a chemical allowing the different plant pigments to move based on their charges. A picture of a completed chromatography may be viewed in the graphic at the right.
Respiration In all organisms, organic compounds such as glucose can be used to make other molecules. These molecules include proteins, DNA, starch, and fats. The chemical energy stored in bonds can be used as a source of energy for life processes.
Stored energy is released when chemical bonds are broken during cellular respiration and new compounds with lower energy bonds are formed. Cells usually transfer this energy temporarily in phosphate bonds of a high-energy compound called ATP. (adenosine triphosphate)
Equations for Cell Respiration
glucose + oxygen →
water + ATP →
Note: ADP is adenosine diphosphate.
This reaction is reversible and ADP can be converted back to ATP in cellular respiration.
Types of Reactions hydrolysis: reaction in which large molecules are broken down into smaller molecules. Chemical digestion is an example of a hydrolysis reaction
synthesis: the combining of simpler molecules to form a more complex molecule
Biochemical processes, both breakdown (hydrolysis) and synthesis, are made possible by enzymes. Enzymes and other molecules, such as hormones and antibodies, have specific shapes that influence both how they function and how they interact with other molecules.
Enzyme Structure and Function catalyst: inorganic or organic substance which speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction without entering the reaction itself.
enzymes: organic catalysts made of protein.
How do enzymes work? substrate: molecules upon which an enzyme acts. The enzyme is shaped so that it can only lock up with a specific substrate molecule.
Lock and Key Theory
Each enzyme is specific for one and ONLY one substrate (one lock - one key)
active site: part of the enzyme that fits with the substrate
Note that the active site has a specific fit for this particular substrate and no other.
This theory has some weaknesses, but it explains many basic things about enzyme function.
Since the enzyme may unhook from the substrate, it may be reused many times. Factors Influencing Enzyme Activity pH: the optimum (best) in most living things is close to 7 (neutral). High or low pH levels usually slow enzyme activity
Temperature: strongly influences enzyme activity
Concentrations of Enzyme and Substrate When there is a fixed amount of enzyme and an excess of substrate molecules the rate of reaction will increase to a point and then level off.
This leveling off occurs because all of the enzyme is used up and the excess substrate has nothing to combine with.
If more enzyme is available than substrate, a similar reaction rate increase and leveling off will occur. The excess enzyme will eventually run out of substrate molecules to react with.

John Clogan umpired the Norfolk League match between Norwich Dragons 4th and Loddon 2nds dressed as a dragon to raise money for Children in Need, much to amusement of Sue Cross.
Thursday, November 22, 2012
Norwich City 2nds hauled themselves level on points with Harleston 3rds at the top of the Premier Division by beating the leaders 1-0.
The only goal came in the first half when Emily Francis found Ellie Brine, who finished with some nifty stick work. City held on in an exciting second half with the help of some brave and decisive goalkeeping from Emma Dann.
Dereham 3rds also trail Magpies and City on goal difference alone after beating fourth-placed UEA – who are a further point behind – 2-1.
The students ran rings round Dereham early on and took the lead after 20 minutes. But Dereham's defence stayed firm with the help of some fine saves from Megan Ballman and when two students collided and banged heads just before the interval it changed the course of the game.
Dereham took full advantage. Becca Smith-Ames equalised and Gemma Pointer scored the late winner.
Dereham 2nds beat Lowestoft Railway 2-0. They went ahead in the first half with a goal from a short corner by Fran Grapes. Becca Taylor got the second from a pass by Lulu Humberston.
Norwich City 3rds had a crucial 1-0 win at Evergreens, the only goal coming in the second half when Hannah Jarvis was twice denied by the Evergreens keeper, only for Rachel McCarney to finally force the ball over the line.
Norwich Dragons 3rds are eight points clear in Division One following a 4-0 win over bottom of the table Reepham.
Reepham, despite starting with only nine players, held Dragons to a single penalty corner goal by Amy Brown in the first half.
Dragons were better in the second half and added further goals from Debbie Santa Clara, Brown and Pollyanna Watson.
Broadland 2nds are fourth after coming from behind to win 4-1 at Norwich City 5ths. They fell behind to City's first penalty corner but responded quickly through Izzie London. Nina Torin hammered the second goal to give them an interval lead and Becky Savory scored twice in the second half.
Jemma Pennick scored the second half winner as Norwich City 6ths won 1-0 at Hornets in Division Two – the clean sheet providing a fitting finale for goalkeeper Maria Rowe.
Norwich Dragons 4ths are five points clear at the top after beating Loddon 2nds 4-1.
Annika Richardson scored twice in the first half and player of the match Sue Cross – who seemed to be everywhere – added two beauties in the second.
Lois McGregor scored the only goal as Norwich Dragons 5ths beat Old Buckenham 2nds 1-0 – their third consecutive 1-0 victory. But Old Buckenham look to have found a potential match winner in newcomer Emma King.
Sprowston 3rds beat Norwich City 2-0 with Liz Hollis get both goals in the first half.

Abstract Detail |
The neural correlate of the polarity advantage effect in crowding43.408, Monday, 19-May, 8:30 am - 12:30 pm, Banyan Breezeway Ziyun Zhu1, Fang Fang1,2,3; 1Department of Psychology and Key Laboratory of Machine Perception (Ministry of Education), Peking University, Beijing 100871, China, 2Peking-Tsinghua Center for Life Sciences, Peking University, Beijing 100871, China, 3PKU-IDG/McGovern Institute for Brain Research, Peking University, Beijing 100871, China If the target in a crowding display differs from the flankers in its contrast polarity, the extent of crowding is reduced compared to the condition where the target and flankers have the same polarity. This phenomenon is referred to as the polarity advantage effect. Here, we investigated its neural mechanisms using event-related potentials (ERPs). A target was centered at 8° eccentricity in the upper-left visual quadrant, either alone or with two adjacent flankers positioned radially. The target and flankers were a circular patch of a sine-wave grating and were presented in a uniform gray background. They were rendered in black or white. They could have the same or opposite polarities. Only in the same polarity condition, there was a significant crowding effect as manifested by orientation discrimination impairment with the target. We measured the earliest ERP component (C1) evoked by five stimulus configurations, including the target only, the target with the flankers of same polarity, the target with the flankers of opposite polarity, the flankers of same polarity only, and the flankers of opposite polarity only. The C1 had a peak latency of about 80 ms and is believed to be generated in early visual cortical areas (i.e. V1 and V2). We found that, the sum of the C1 amplitudes evoked by the target and the flankers was smaller than the C1 amplitude by the target with the flankers, suggesting a mutual cortical suppression between the target and flankers. Importantly, the suppression was significantly stronger when the target and flankers had the same polarity than when they had opposite polarities. We also found that the suppression depended on subjects spatial attention to the stimuli. These results suggest that the early cortical suppression enabled by spatial attention might contribute to the polarity advantage effect in crowding. < Back |

Uber's taxi-like service could shut down in Denver under proposed rule changes
Posted By Andy Vuong On January 29, 2013 @ 11:57 am In General | 4 Comments
Uber, a personal car service with huge support in the technology community [3], said Tuesday that it could be forced to shut down in Denver if rule changes proposed by state regulators are adopted.
Among other things, the Colorado Public Utilities Commission is proposing to disallow sedan companies from having the ability to charge by distance. Uber, which contracts with licensed limousine and town car drivers, bases its fares on distanced traveled, with a minimum charge of $15.
"Unfortunately, the Colorado Public Utilities Commission proposed rule changes this month which, if enacted, would shut UberDenver down," the company's area general manager Will McCollum wrote in a blog post Tuesday [4].
Uber rides are hailed via a smartphone app. The local tech community is throwing its weight behind a change.org petition [5] to prevent the rule changes.
Colorado folks – super important.PUC [6] trying to shut down @uber_denver [7].Sign petition: chn.ge/Vu2hUS [8].
— jasonmendelson (@jasonmendelson) January 29, 2013 [9]
Uber, a San Francisco-based tech startup, has stirred controversy in several communities across the country. State-regulated taxi companies says the service is unfair because Uber doesn't have to answer to regulators and its service opens the door for unlicensed drivers to pick up fares.
In response, Uber has said it is merely generating leads for drivers that are licensed, in addition to making it easier for consumers to find a ride.
Uber launched in Denver about five months ago. To use the service, customers need to register with the company and provide a credit card account and cellphone number. The Uber app taps into an iPhone or Android smartphone's GPS to show the location of the nearest driver. The fare is charged to the credit card that's on file with Uber, so no money changes hands between the driver and rider.

my child is readySubmitted by Guest 6789 (not verified) on Tue, 08/26/2008 - 4:27pm.
I completely disagree with this bill. My child should be starting school next year (before this bill) and now because one month he is going to be held back. I think in order for a kindergarten to start school he should be tasted frist and then see if he's ready or not, not just based on his age some childern are six months older and they maybe not ready acadmically

An NLP research group at the UCL Computer Science department teaching machines how to read.
The amount of published information is growing rapidly. Much of this information comes in unstructured textual form that cannot easily be searched, mined, visualized and, ultimately, acted upon. The principal goal of our group are machines that can read and "understand" this textual information, converting it into interpretable structured knowledge to be leveraged by humans and other machines alike.
To achieve our goal we work in the intersection of Natural Language Processing, Machine Learning, Cognitive Science and Information Retrieval. We rely heavily on statistical methods of various flavours.
Our group is part of the UCL Computer Science department, affiliated with CSML and based in the London Media Technology Campus. We are organizing the South England Stat NLP Meetup. Get in touch if you're interested in attending.
Sebastian works in NLP and Machine Learning. He is particularly interested in helping machines to read more accurately by leveraging knowledge gathered through reading more accurately.
Ivan is interested in Graphical Models, specially in Learning Bayesian Networks and comparing them with Tensor-based Models.
Marzieh is interested in urban knowledge extraction and in particular spatial analysis of language data extracted from social media..
Matko's interest include the theory and application of machine learning (ML) methods, data, graph and text mining, ML in bioinformatics, graph theory, information retrieval and natural language processing.
Tim is interested in representation learning for NLP and automated knowledge base completion, and how such methods can take advantage of symbolic background knowledge.
George's interests include Probabilistic Graphical Models, Natural Language Processing and Computational Linguistics, Information Retrieval and Software Development.
Andreas is working on automated fact checking in collaboration with the BBC. He is broadly interested in natural language understanding (e.g. information extraction, semantic parsing) and in machine learning approaches that would help us towards this goal.
Jason is working in collaboration with Google on leveraging knowledge bases of semantic relations and the web's vast quantity of unstructured text to guide the learning of latent variable models for NLP. He is interested in joint inference, graphical models, and natural language acquisition.
A final year 'Mathematical Computation' undergraduate, Luke is helping to build Wolfe. He has a particular interest in machine learning as a tool for neuroscience research.

David Beckham - David Beckham's Son Has Soccer Trial For London Team
Picture: David Beckham - David Beckham out and about London United Kingdom Tuesday 15th January 2013
Sports star David Beckham's eldest son appears to be following in his dad's footsteps after undergoing a trial session with a top London soccer team on Tuesday (22Jan13).
Brooklyn Beckham was at Chelsea Football Club's training grounds in Cobham, England to play in an Under-14s game, designed to scout stand-out young players.
Speculation is rife that the 13 year old, who was accompanied by his dad, is in line for a career in professional soccer.
Former England captain David quit the Los Angeles Galaxy soccer club in December (12), and has yet to join another team.
Last year (12), the father-of-four discussed the difficulties his kids face entering into the sports world, telling Britain's The Times, "They've got a great life set up for them. Obviously our boys and little girl are very lucky. But I think, as a parent, you always worry: 'Have they got the hunger that I had as a kid?' I'm as hard on my boys as my dad was (on me). They always ask, 'Did I play well?' I'll say, 'You did alright, could have done better.'"

text: | OK, that's how you do a cliffhangerMay 17, 2011 - Pam RodgersI have never been overly fond of the big cliffhangers, but I do appreciate a good one when I see one, even when it leaves me in tears. Castle season three finale did just that. It was intense and suspenseful with one the characters making his/her last stand for the badge and even then the twists weren't over. To keep episode "pure" I won't reveal anything. The intensity of the hour speaks for itself if you happen to catch it. The whole cast was at the top their games in this episode delivering one of the best episodes ever. The case centered around Beckett's mother death, a long running plot of the show. The whole case comes to a head as more people involved turn up dead. The case has a certain affect on Beckett and Castle seems to be the only one who can help her with it. He is her voice a reason even when she doesn't want to hear it. Stana Katic and Nathan Fillion have that dynamic nailed. While they don't express their feelings for each other, it is there in their words and actions. It a fantastic thing to behold. The final scene of the episode had me slipping off my couch to the floor in tears of what was happening. It was so powerful and yet something that definitely needs to be fixed. I was speechless. It makes me want the summer to zoom by so I can see what is going to happen to my beloved characters. Show creator Andrew Marlowe is vacationing for the summer in Maui and tweeted that he plans to stay off twitter to avoid the haters tweets. He has good reason after a final scene like that.

You heard it here at HollywoodLife.com first, and now it's officially been confirmed. Lamar Odom is back in the NBA — at least for one night! The 34-year-old basketball star has signed a last-minute deal with the New York Knicks to play in their final game of the season on April 16. Good for him!
After being out of the NBA all season long, Lamar Odom is finally suiting up again, this time to play for his hometown New York team in its season closer tonight, April 16. We can't wait to see him in action!
Lamar Odom On Knicks: He'll Play In Final New York Game Of The Season
Lamar has been trying to make an NBA comeback for months after he sat most of the season out, reportedly due to his alleged drug and alcohol issues and his shocking Aug. 30 DUI arrest. We told you less than a week ago on April 12 that the veteran forward had a strong chance of joining the New York Knicks for the remainder of the season and it looks like we were right!
The Knicks have officially signed Lamar, revealing the one-game deal minutes before their season closer against the Toronto Raptors on April 16, according to USA Today.
We're not sure how exactly Lamar swung this deal, since multiple sources had told HollywoodLife.com that no team in the NBA wanted to take a chance on the troubled player.
Perhaps Lamar's former Lakers coach Phil Jackson, who is now the Knicks team president, had something to do with it. Either way, we're sure Lamar is absolutely thrilled! And if he kicks butt in tonight's game, who knows what the future has in store for him!
Lamar Odom — Signing With The Knicks To Get His NBA Career Back On Track?
Lamar must have been working really hard to prove himself to the Knicks because, as HollywoodLife.com previously reported, he does have a shot at playing for the team next season.
"He may sign with the team to play in the last few games of the regular season and also play with them next year," a source told us earlier in April. "Basically the make or break day is Monday (April 14), if he signs with the team, or not — will be ultimately decided by the end of the weekend."
So HollywoodLifers, are YOU excited to see Lamar play for the Knicks tonight? Let us know!

Easy dressing, for days when I just don't feel like putting on anything that doesn't include elastic. Bad photography, for days when I am annoyed with everything including tripods.
It's gotten so tatty over the years and HARD WEARING, but how could I replace it? It's made of towel! It's so BRIGHT! It's a different shape to all my other clothes.
Yeah I'm just gonna put a bunch of pictures of me in this jacket right here.
Because it's a great jacket!
It feels so snug, the way it zips right up my neck.
There used to be elastic around the bottom hem, but I took it out. It wouldn't stay down, kept contracting its way up to my waist!

Nerdist Podcast: Chris Elliott
By Katie Levine on November 18, 2013
The amazing Chris Elliott is on the podcast! He sits down with Chris and Jonah to talk about starting out on Late Night with David Letterman, and the boys discuss the early days of the show and its "almost cable access" feel. He discusses how that led to opportunities like Get A Life, still a Hardwick favorite. There are also stories about accidentally pissing off James Cameron, the movie Cabin Boy (Jonah gets surprised when Chris reveals that Tim Burton left the project to do another particular movie), his strange year on SNL (and his daughter Abby's work on that show), and the new season of his show Eagleheart on Adult Swim.
Watch Eagleheart on Adult Swim, Thursdays at midnight ET!
I didn't know where to post this but my condolences go out to Chris on the loss of his father. He sounded like a great man and Chris was lucky to have him as an influence on his life.
I agree with the gentleman above. For whatever its e orth your fans are here for you chris!!
That was a fantastic interview. His re-occurring role on How I Met Your Mother reminded me of his existence. He's a perfect fit for the HIMYM crew. I must check out Eagleheart!
@CH *HUGS* I keep wanting to send you pictures of puppies or stories about weird sex things in Japan. Did you hear about the guy that nailed his ball sack to the ground in Moscow as a protest/performance art. But I'm not sure what would make you feel better.
First of all, another great podcast – Chris Elliott is one of those guys I've always hoped you'd have on, and he was even better than I'd imagined he'd be. REALLY miss Matt on the show, but his sense of humor is very evident on @Midnight, so I certainly understand the trade-off. Hopefully we'll get all 3 of you together more during @M's hiatus at least.
As for Billy…I wrote something last night that I'd intended to send through the Quemment link because I didn't want to come off like I was sending it to everyone here, but I kept getting an error message every time I tried sending it. Maybe there's a limit to how long Quemments can be. Anyway…here it is, and apologies to the rest of you.
"@Chris – just finished watching tonight's "TD" and it was the first I'd heard the sad news about your pop. Your tribute to him was incredibly touching. There's no WAY I could've gotten through that without completely losing it, but you did it in a way that was sweet, classy, and positive. I'm most struck by two things : one, that he was able to enjoy the news of your "@Midnight" pickup – I'm sure he was incredibly proud. And two, that he was able to make peace with your mom during the service for your brother that you related to us on the podcast recently. Sorry if this is veering into creepy territory, as you and I have never met. But between your various shows and the podcast (the current ones and catching up with the archives) I spend about 10 hours a week with "you", so I kinda' feel like I know you, in some small way. (The curse of being famous and real, I guess – that weird two-way mirror through which we see you but you don't know us). Anyway, the degree to which you share with us is appreciated, and that's why we celebrate your victories and hurt for you when you suffer this kind of loss.
I don't talk to my parents very often – sometimes weeks or even months will pass before we get in touch, but I'll be calling them tomorrow.
Thanks man. Be well."
@CH Nothing but hugs Chris. Nothing but hugs.
the above pic makes Chris Elliot look like 1940's movie bookie or cabbie
So sorry to hear about your dad Chris. My heart goes out to you and yours.
As for the podcast, I was half convinced I'd imagined Get A Life back when it was first on TV. My family watched it religiously, but no one I knew ever watched it. Thank you for having Chris on!
I just found out about your loss on this page. Hope your step family is going to be okay. I don't know what to say in these moments.
Hey chris I wanted too so I'm praying for u and I worked at all star lanes for your daddy he always was nice and treated everyone with respect.He signed one of his baseball card like thing but it was for a bowling set topps made I'll always cherish it.Take my friend.I'm sure he is having a miller light
I was a 9 year old dork who was obsessed with Letterman, Chris Elliot, Paul, Chris, etc. I remember getting special permission to see Cabin Boy. Thanks for having him on. Great episode guys!
Chris Hardwick, you are the best. Internet hugs.
woot! wonderful wonderful "get" by the nerdist gang.
Eagleheart is one of the funniest shows out there and i am SO glad its back. Its absurdist humor is brilliant and unmatched. Days after its season 3 premier i am still giggling regularly at a scene where chris reveals his plan to take care of a bad guy or two…genius.
Peace .n. You have the right to remain hilarious.
The intros have become my favorite part of the podcast! Well, I dont want to take away from the podcast content, but ya know what I mean!
Also, never a post script…but Chris we all are feeling for you. Lots of snuggles for you
I just heard the news.
Hardwick….my sincerest condolences on the loss of your father. My pop passed away last year and it was very tough to face. My advice to you is to do whatever you need too in this time of grief…think back to good memories, go through old photos, spend time with family or by yourself reflecting, work more or less, whatever you need. And as always know that your fans and fellow nerdists care about you.Peace .n. Picking up that 7-10 Split in the Clouds
"They made you eat jacks?"
"No…but they're in me."Is one of my favorite lines ever.
My condolences to you and your family, Chris.
fellow nerdists, check this out if you havent seen it. Chris shares some amazingly sweet sentiments and memento's of his father.Im still cackling at Chris' comment about the family photo magazine cover "fitting that i had a bowl cut". Brilliant dude…f@#$ing brilliant.
Love the magazine cover and sweet POV shot of your dad from the perspective of the bowling lane.Peace .n. Reflection of happy memories
So sorry to hear about your dad. But so glad that you got the chance to tell him you loved him. My heart, love and best wishes to you. ((internet hugs))
So, Chris Elliot wants to make a sequel to Cabin Boy but re-cast it….How about Abby Elliot in "Cabin Girl"? And Chris can cameo as her character's father. Maybe some sort of seafaring, Pirates of the Carribean-esque jaunt where she goes off in search of him.
I will take an executive producer credit, or cash…thank you.
[…] recently heard Chris Elliott talk about the majesty that is Eagleheart on the Nerdist Podcast. And you may know that the current season of the Adult Swim show is a season-long serial. Now, if […]

Yoga of Sausalito | ||
Structural Yoga Therapy™ Certification Program The scope of the SYT training is to enable trainees to give personalized effective guidance to yoga clients to overcome their physical challenges and alleviate pain so that the deeper practices can bear fruit. This training is for certified yoga teachers and/or licensed health professionals with a grounding in yoga practice (sadhana) as their regular practice with a minimum of 2 years of regular practice. Structural Yoga Therapy™ relies on a deep respect for the body's innate capacity for safe, healthy movement and healing. This translates to a way of therapy that invites the body to find its own optimal way of healing, moving and building strength with careful development of the muscle structures that are needed to develop a full yoga practice. The training program is practical yet deep and is based upon the books Structural Yoga Therapy and Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, written by Mukunda Stiles, the founder of Structural Yoga Therapy™. His work is founded in two principal yoga lineages: his physical approach is based on his studies with teachers in the lineage of Krishnamacharya – Paul Copeland, MD; Indra Devi; Rama Jyoti Vernon; and BKS Iyengar. Mukunda's spiritual approach is based on the teachings of his beloved mentor Swami Muktananda, and Muktananda's student, Swami Prakashananda. These are the teachings that are passed along – with great respect and love – from teacher to student. Chinnamasta Stiles is Mukunda's beloved and a Senior Structural & Ayurvedic Yoga Teacher, Therapist and Healer. She has been initiated (received Shaktipat) into the lineage of Bhagavan Nityandanda & Swami Muktananda and has offered the several yoga teacher training programs for the last 5 years in the US and Europe. She is now for the first time offering yoga teachers in California to attend the first 5 days of these deep teachings. Scope of the week program: Joint Free Series Anatomical movements Range of Motion Variations for postural changes SYT poses Darshan through the eyes of Patanjali Pranayama for Pain Meditation Body reading These teachings will not only transform yourself, but will touch and heal all those you serve with the deeper experiences and practices of therapeutic yoga. At the end of the week a letter of attendance is given for 40 hrs of in person teaching. For questions about the program and/or certification, contact Chinnamasta at email@example.com YOGATHERAPYCENTER.ORG SHIVASHAKTILOKA.COM $1080 until Oct. 1 $1250 thereafter Note: Cancellations received after October 25, 2013 will not be eligible for a refund. www.yogaofsausalito.com |

Video: Chance The Rapper – Brain Cells
Directed by Austin Vesely
It's been 15 days since the release of Chance The Rapper's critically acclaimed and commercially heralded debut 10 Day. In those 15 days, the young emcee has been on promotional terror. He's lit up the airwaves on both WGCI and Power 92, clocked a handful of interviews and gone from bubbling rapper to local star. Needless to say, he hasn't caught much shut-eye.
As his buzz and fanbase expand by the hour, Chance continues his dominance by dropping the drug-fueled video for "Brain Cells." In this experimental clip, directed by Austin Vesely, Chance plays psychiatrist (or so we think) for the drug dabblers our parents, teachers and administrators warned us about. But is a brain cell a terrible thing to waste? Chance explores, as he lives by the NWA motto: "We don't just say no, we too busy saying yeah."

As others have said, most of the campground is permanent sites and we found that most were in decent shape. The non-permanent sites were very small, can you say packed like sardines? Our awning was only a few feet from the slideout of the camper next to us. The constant traffic from golf carts and pedal cars was extremely annoying and their speeds and driver ages didn't appear to be monitored. The permanent sites at Q4 and Q5 have installed their own halogen streetlight on a 10 foot pole which they turn on at sunset and were not receptive to conversations asking to turn it off since it lit all adjacent sites like daytime. The office was not much help with this issue either. We do not recommend this campground. - cobra188d
The 'ocean view' available was actually a boat slip. Staff said we wouldn't like it and sent us to space near the beach. It was grassy and dirt filled that turned to mud during the rain storms. Many permanent trailers, some not in the best condition. Laundry facility was very nice. - Linda604
As of 2013 this RV resort on the Chesapeake Bay is owned by Sun and previous negative comments were while owned by Morgan. It's rural. Nine miles to the small town of Mathews about 30 minutes from Gloucester VA. The road ends at the bay with fishing, boating, swimming, bird watching, and crabbing. We have camped here in two types of RVs. Sun has done wonders to this place in only 4 months so anyone that was here in the past should come back! New pool, landscaping, pool furniture, baby pool, new activities director who goes all out to appeal to all ages, laser tag field, new playground, golf cart rentals, live band many weekends, music in pavilion and on beach, and rental units. There is a dog walk, marina and good sized sandy beach. We were once short termer's now seasonal's looking forward to this resort just getting better and better. Beach and location that is right on Chesapeake Bay brought us and kept us here and we are glad we hung in there! - jmo

I know this may be off topic, but the "Distilling" forum apperently doesn't exist. I read somewhere that some yeast claim to be able to ferment up to 22% abv. If this is true, could I use suger, water, yeast, and nutrient to make a nutral tasting alcohol of about 20% and then flavor it however to make a legal liquer without having to distill it? Has anyone tried this? __________________________ Primary: Apple Cider Secondary: Empty (the cider is my first batch ever) Bottled: Nothing (I told you I'm new) Drinking: Budweiser (I told you I'm just getting started, why can't you just leave me alone)
i dont think making a liquer qualifies as distilling, ive seen liquer kits sold at LHBS's and online rasperry liquer, coffee liquer, etc
Those yeasts (distiller's yeasts) aren't designed to create a clean, drinkable product; they're designed to make a lot of alcohol, including fusel alcohols, to be subsequently distilled. Best-case, you're looking at MAJOR headaches. If you're of legal age, why not buy a bottle of cheap vodka and do the same? I've even seen on Mythbusters how they were able to significantly improve the flavor of a cheap vodka by running it through a water filter.
The only kit's I've seen are just flavoring extracts that you add to vodka or everclear or something. I didn't know there are any others.
I might try that, but I've always been interested in making Liquor myself. Too bad it's illigal (not to mention possibly unsafe) But I don't think I'd get the satisfaction out of just flavoring someone eles vodka.
I just searched for Liquer kits, and found a site selling them. They state that: "Make your very own 40 proof liquor in just 3 weeks."..."this isn't a bottle of flavoring that you add to Vodka"..."you start with water, sugar, and our liquor kit" So how do the kits work. It has to be some sort of yeast. Are they just selling the same stuff that's gonna give me a hang over?
A lot of homebrew shops sell Turbo Yeast, which will ferment corn sugar to 17/18/19% in 10 days at room temperature. I've always seen them advertised as fermenting clean and tasty, but I can't say from experience whether this is true or not.
Kinda expensive but looks like a safe easy to hide option.http://www.easystill.com/
Ah every time I see a thread like this I just laugh to myself and thank the government (omg I'm actually thanking the government?!?!) of NZ that we can legally distill as much as our heart desires. All I need to do now is just get myself a still, haha. But as the Bird said, I'm pretty sure that there'd be heaps of fusel alcohols and such that'll make your "liqueur" taste all firey and give you a massive headache in the morning. Here's another site you could try out for real distilling though: http://www.home-distilling.com/HD_Ea...structions.asp It makes me think of boot-legging and moonshine, ah you Americans, .

SCORE Announces Winners of 2012 Small Business Awards
WASHINGTON ( TheStreet) -- SCORE, a Small Business Administration partner organization designed to mentor entrepreneurs, has announced winners for its fourth annual SCORE Awards. The organization has named winners in seven categories highlighting small business and entrepreneurial excellence.
This year, two new categories were added to the list, that of outstanding franchise owner and outstanding green business.
The winners are:
Outstanding minority-owned small business: Bridgeja' Baker, Creative Jewelry by Bridgeja', New Orleans
Outstanding franchise as a small business: Terry Paradise & Marcia Connelley, Massage Envy, Middletown, Louisville, Ky.
Outstanding green small business: Terry Weaver, USA Gypsum, Reinholds, Pa.
Outstanding small business launched by an individual older than 50: Bruce Bohrmann, Bohrmann Knives, Yarmouth, Maine
Outstanding veteran-owned small business: Joel Goldberg, Aurico Reports, Arlington Heights, Ill.
Outstanding woman-owned small business: Tasha Oldham, My Story, Marina del Rey, Calif.
Outstanding non-profit organization: Beth Johnston, Greater Boca Raton Chamber of Commerce, Boca Raton, Fla.
SCORE also named The Walmart Foundation and Sam's Club as winner of this year's outstanding corporate supporter award.
"This year's SCORE Award winners are success stories that symbolize the thousands of entrepreneurs who uplift our communities by putting the American economy back on track," SCORE CEO Ken Yancey said. "SCORE is thrilled about the opportunity to play a small role and help advise these small businesses as they pursue success," he added. Bridget Weston Pollack, SCORE's director of marketing and communications, said it was important to add a franchise category given that "franchises represent a significant portion of small businesses operating in the United States." Additionally, SCORE wanted to recognize green businesses that take the time to think about the environment because they "really are operating with the triple bottom line in mind at all times." Founded in 1964, the SCORE acronym originally stood for Service Corps of Retired Executives. SCORE has since dropped the full name, saying it does not adequately represent the diverse base of volunteers in the organization, since many are still employed. More than 13,000 business experts volunteer as mentors in 364 SCORE chapters serving local communities with entrepreneur education to help grow 1 million small businesses. The awards started as an offshoot of the annual Lou Campanelli Award, given to those with outstanding volunteer commitment to SCORE. There are two winners for the Lou Campanelli Award this year, Rieva Lesonsky, CEO of GrowBiz Media and website SmallBizDaily.com, and Brian Moran, president of small business consultant Brian Moran and Associates. "The recipients stand out by epitomizing core American values such as work ethic, ingenuity, and fortitude," adds Mark Dobosz president of The SCORE Foundation, the philanthropic arm of the organization. "I believe that their accomplishments, and recognition here, will inspire others across America to follow their dreams of small business success." The SCORE Awards gala will be held August 16 in New Orleans. Last year, SCORE presented awards to five individuals and one non-profit organization.
