For my very first mead I made a blueberry melomel. I followed this recipe that I found to a T except with blueberries instead: Sweet Raspberry Mead (Makes 1 Gallon) Yeast: EC-1118 (1 packet) 1 Gallon Spring Water 4.5 pounds wildflower honey 1.5 pounds red raspberries The juice from 1 lemon The juice from 1 lime 3 Tablespoons of strong english tea 1 teaspoon of yeast nutrient I started this mead on July 16...and the OG was off the charts...so I'm assuming that it started around 1.145-1.15. Now that I've been reading up on meadmaking I can see that this is very very high and is gonna be crazy sweet. Today, 22 days later, the SG is around 1.072. I've sampled it and it tastes amazing like blueberry syrup. But I'd def like to try and dry it up a bit more. Should I add some more nutrient to help the yeast? Does an addition of water help with drying it up a bit? Also when should I move it to secondary and rack it off the blueberries? I love this forum! Thanks
It wouldn't hurt to add some nutrient again and rouse the yeast. It'll likely foam over, so be prepared for that.
The SG is really high because I think you use to much honey for a 1 gallon Recipe. When you rack it to a secondary top it off with some water. This might help.
Next time for a dry mead I would use 2lbs of honey for a 1 gallon recipe.
I've noticed that the longer my blueberry melomel ages, the more mellow the sweetness is becoming... it takes a long while though as I understand it (still a newbie myself). I would add some nutrients to see if your yeast has any more mojo. As far as racking goes, I would wait until any yeast activity dies down. If you want the blueberry flavor to be the star of the show, rack it onto some more fruit into a secondary. This is based on many posts by seasoned members of this forum.
Did you add 4.5 lbs of honey into a full 1 gal of water, or did you have a total final volume of 1 gal? If you used a full gallon of water, plus the honey, you will have a very different OG than if you had a total final volume of 1 gal. With 4.5 lbs of honey being about 1/3 of a gal volume by itself, even if you assume a very conservative value for the honey (say, 1.036 pppg), you're going to have at *least* 1.130 (1 gal of water plus the honey giving a final total volume of ~ 1.3 gal), and potentially well over 1.160 (if the total final volume was 1 gal). There are also other factors that lead to a very high risk of a stuck fermentation, including the additions of acid (lemon/lime/raspberry), and perhaps not enough nutrients as it seems (up to this point) you only added them at the very beginning rather than in a staggered fashion over the first few days of fermentation. Aggressive aeration (or ideally even oxygenation) and degassing would be important for a mead of this octane... Additionally, you may not have had enough yeast from the start. If the OG really was on the high side of my estimations, optimal pitching would require more than one packet of dry yeast. Further, did you rehydrate the yeast? If you added the yeast dry to a must like that, you certainly killed off a significant portion of the yeast from the packet, even further reducing your pitch rate. I would definitely start with gently stirring to try and fully degas the mead...just getting the CO2 out can significantly affect the pH...and then adding additional nutrients, aerate the crap out of it, and perhaps even adding some fresh, rehydrated yeast. Consider even getting some pH test strips, and adjusting the pH if it's really low... As mentioned before, racking off the fruit and topping off to dilute it out a bit could also help. Give it some more time, and hope for the best! Keep us posted...
I heated the honey in some water and then added it to the carboy...mixed it to death. Then added my yeast nutrient topped off with water and squeezed a lemon in it. While I was making the must I was rehydrating the yeast which i added in last. The must originally foamed over and went nuts in the first couple days of fermenting. I had to remove a little liquid because it kept pushing the air lock out. Everyday for the first week I took the airlock out and shook the carboy. About 7 days ago I added in some nutrient and gave it a shake. Every day I shake the carboy a little to make sure the berries stay wet. There is minimal bubbles around the berries moving now and I dont think the airlock is bubbling anymore. I think I'll aerate the crap out of it and add some more nutrients and see if I can ge the yeast going a bit more. I'm worried about adding more yeast as it's already possibly at 10% alcohol and I don't want this one to get crazy high in % and taste bad.
So this is a 1 gal container? Sounds like you are indeed on the high end of my estimation scenarios, and your OG was easily 1.160, if not higher. I don't think adding extra yeast will cause it to be overly dry/high ABV. What you are trying to prevent is having syrup, as you said, and I would do everything you can to keep this from getting stuck. Unless you can get this down to at least 1.040, I don't think it will be really drinkable, and even then, way to sweet for my tastes personally. You might buy yourself a little leeway with your residual acidity tempering some of the sweetness, but I think this would be better if you can get it down to 1.030 or even a little lower...Even if you max out the yeast to it's theoretical tolerance of 18%, I should put you somewhere around 1.025, and that's still plenty sweet enough for a mead this big. Oh, and don't worry so much about the airlock, rely on your gravity readings to determine if you're still fermenting or not...

Why Ellie Mae (ELLI) Is Up Today
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Ellie Mae (ELLI - Get Report) was gaining 18.3% to $29.38 Friday after reporting record revenue for the full year 2013.
The company reported total revenue increased 26% to $128.5 million for 2013, up from $101.8 million for 2012.
For the fourth quarter Ellie Mae reported revenue of $30.35 million, beating analyst estimates of $29.84 million for the quarter. The company posted earnings of 18 cents a share for the quarter. Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters expected earnings of 18 cents a share.
The software company forecasts revenue of between $150 million and $153.5 million for 2014. Analysts expect revenue of $151.5 million for the year.
Must read: Choose Your Tech Stocks Carefully: An Interview With Ryan Jacob TheStreet Ratings team rates ELLIE MAE INC as a "hold" with a ratings score of C. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation: "We rate ELLIE MAE INC (ELLI) a HOLD. The primary factors that have impacted our rating are mixed -- some indicating strength, some showing weaknesses, with little evidence to justify the expectation of either a positive or negative performance for this stock relative to most other stocks. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its robust revenue growth, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures and expanding profit margins. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including deteriorating net income, disappointing return on equity and weak operating cash flow." Highlights from the analysis by TheStreet Ratings Team goes as follows:- ELLI's revenue growth has slightly outpaced the industry average of 10.9%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues rose by 20.2%. This growth in revenue does not appear to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, displayed by a decline in earnings per share.
- ELLI has no debt to speak of therefore resulting in a debt-to-equity ratio of zero, which we consider to be a relatively favorable sign. Along with this, the company maintains a quick ratio of 4.43, which clearly demonstrates the ability to cover short-term cash needs.
- ELLIE MAE INC has experienced a steep decline in earnings per share in the most recent quarter in comparison to its performance from the same quarter a year ago. This company has reported somewhat volatile earnings recently. But, we feel it is poised for EPS growth in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, ELLIE MAE INC increased its bottom line by earning $0.76 versus $0.16 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($0.99 versus $0.76).
- The company, on the basis of change in net income from the same quarter one year ago, has significantly underperformed when compared to that of the S&P 500 and the Software industry. The net income has significantly decreased by 50.8% when compared to the same quarter one year ago, falling from $6.83 million to $3.36 million.
- The company's current return on equity has slightly decreased from the same quarter one year prior. This implies a minor weakness in the organization. When compared to other companies in the Software industry and the overall market, ELLIE MAE INC's return on equity is below that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.

14 Hands Pinot Gris 750ml$13.44
14 Hands Hot To Trot 2010
14 Hands
- Washington State
- United States
- Columbia Valley
2010 saw extremely high quality viticulture in many parts of the world, with an exceptionally long and hot summer providing huge benefits for wineries across many countries, especially in the southern hemisphere. The northern hemisphere and Europe saw something of a cooler summer and flowering period, but this was by no means as disastrous as it could have been. France, especially, had a fantastic year in 2010, with the world renowned Burgundy region proclaiming that their white wines of this year are ones to look out for, and despite yields being relatively small across much of the country, the quality was exceptionally high. Spain, too, received some cooler weather, but Rioja and the rest of central Spain are hailing 2010 as a very good year indeed, again as a result of smaller, finer yields. California also received similar climatic conditions, but again, wineries are highly positive about the overall effect this had on their produce, as the slightly challenging conditions resulted in smaller yields of much elegance and distinction. 2010 was really Australia's year, and in South Australia and across the Mornington Peninsula, Chardonnay vines produced good yields with a lower sugar level than in previous years. As such, the majority of South Australian white wines from 2010 are superb, and packed full of character. Shiraz also had a great year, and most Australian wineries have been proclaiming 2010 one of the great vintages. Both the Argentinian and Chilean wine industries benefited from some ideal climatic conditions this year, and are reportedly ecstatically pleased with the fact that their 2010 wines ended up with lower alcohol levels, and were beautifully balanced wines packed full of flavor.
Washington state is a fascinating region when it comes to American wine production, with the majority of their produce coming out of the desert-like eastern half of the state. This expansive region has a unique climate produced by the rain shadow of the Cascade mountain range, and here we find over ninety-nine percent of the state's vineyards which hold a wide range of classic grape varietals including Merlot, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and others. Today, there are over forty thousand acres in Washington under vine, and the industry of the state is going from strength to strength due to the increasing popularity of the wines which are produced here. Over six hundred wineries in the state take advantage of the well irrigated vineyards which flourish there, and these numbers are expected to grow quickly over the next decade.
The first European settlers to consider growing grapevines in the United States must have been delighted when they discovered the now famous wine regions within California, Oregon and elsewhere. Not even in the Old World are there such fertile valleys, made ideal for vine cultivation by the blazing sunshine, long, hot summers and oceanic breezes. As such, it comes as little surprise that today more than eighty-nine percent of United States wines are grown in the valleys and on the mountainsides of California, where arguably some of the finest produce in the world is found. However, American wine does not begin and end with California, and due to the vast size of the country and the incredible range of terrains and climates found within the United States, there is probably no other country on earth which produces such a massive diversity of wines. From ice wines in the northern states, to sparkling wines, aromatized wines, fortified wines, reds, whites, rosés and more, the United States has endless surprises in store for lovers of New World wines.

SS-GB is an alternate history novel by Len Deighton, set in a United Kingdom conquered and occupied by Germany during World War II. The novel's title refers to the branch of the Nazi SS that controls Britain.
Plot summary[edit]
It is November 1941, nine months after a German invasion led to the British surrender. Detective Superintendent Douglas Archer, a British homicide detective assigned to Scotland Yard, is called in to investigate a murder of a well-dressed man in an apartment in Shepherd Market. Though the body has two gunshot wounds, Archer is puzzled by the condition of the body, in particular what appears to be a sunburn on the body's arm. To his surprise, the case draws the attention of the highest levels of the German government, as an SS Standartenführer, Oskar Huth, arrives to supervise the investigation. Archer soon finds himself in the middle of a power struggle between Huth and Gruppenführer Fritz Kellerman, Archer's boss and the head of police forces in Great Britain.
Archer soon discovers that the dead man was a British physicist named William Spode and that Spode was involved with the Resistance movement. This leads Archer to George Mayhew, a former colonel in the British Army who is organising an operation designed to free the King from his prison in the Tower of London and spirit him away to neutral America. Archer also develops a romantic relationship with Barbara Barga, an American reporter whom he first met at the Spode murder scene and who appears involved in the mystery. Huth also reveals to Archer the reason for the high-level interest in the murder: Spode was part of a German military team working on developing an atomic bomb.
As his investigation proceeds, Archer finds the dangers increasing, as a subordinate is killed and Archer himself is nearly murdered by a member of the Resistance. Following a clue in the form of an elbow pivot for an artificial arm, Archer travels to a prisoner-of-war camp in Berkshire where inmates produce replacement limbs for war veterans. There he succeeds in capturing Spode's brother, John Spode, who lost his right arm while fighting the German invasion. Though Spode confesses readily to shooting his brother (who was dying of radiation poisoning), he commits suicide by ingesting a cyanide capsule before Archer can take him back to London. Learning that the German officer escorting him around the camp was a member of the Abwehr, Archer follows him back to London, where he discovers Mayhew conspiring with top Abwehr officials to free the King, an act that would humiliate the SS as the organisation in charge of guarding him.
The next day, a public exhumation of Karl Marx from Highgate Cemetery as part of "German-Soviet Friendship Week" is disrupted by a bomb which kills dozens of people. In response the German Army declares martial law and arrests thousands of people, including Archer's partner, Detective Sergeant Harry Woods. Though Woods assures his friend that they will be able to avoid incarceration by bribing one of the soldiers, Archer soon learns that Woods is wounded in an escape attempt. Kellerman secures Woods's release, but with a statement that compromises Archer in Kellerman's political manoeuvrings against Huth. Undeterred, Archer travels to an English manor house to witness the arrival of an American agent who arrives to negotiate with Mayhew over the King and the atomic bomb secrets. The two agree that the Americans will get the equations William Spode worked out (which his brother photographed before destroying) in return for taking the King out of Britain as well. Though Huth arrives with a force of men, Mayhew comes to a secret agreement with him and the Germans depart quietly.
The following day. Archer and Woods succeed in getting the King out of the Tower, only to find the King an invalid as a result of an injury suffered during the invasion. They take him secretly to Bringle Sands, the site of the German atomic bomb research project in England, so that a force of United States Marines preparing to attack the facility can take the King out with them. Though the attack succeeds in destroying the facility and escaping with research material and key personnel, an ambush set by Huth (who was forewarned of the assault by Mayhew) results in the death of the King. Though arrested, Archer is freed by Kellerman, who has what he wants – evidence which he can use to convict Huth of aiding the resistance. In a final meeting before his execution, Huth laments to Archer that the Americans will develop the atomic bomb first and that Mayhew (whom Archer has deduced was Spode's real murderer) has also got what he wanted most: an honourable death for the King, and an incident that will bring about war between Nazi Germany and the United States.

Why Groups?
We were created to do life in relationship. After God created Adam, He looked around and noted that everything He created was good. Adam then named the animals but God noticed there was no one for Adam to share life with (Genesis 2:18). It was at this point that God created Eve.
In our heart of hearts, we know that we are intended to live our lives in relationship with others, not on our own. Our culture understands this: within our penal system solitary confinement is a powerful punishment. We are made to do life together and taking away that freedom does something to our soul.
What is a Group?
At South Hills we are passionate about the life-changing impact of Groups, not just for individuals, but also for our community. Life Groups are generally a group of 8-12 people who connect weekly (Hebrews 10:25). Many groups are made up of people with common interests or life-stages and others are a diverse gathering representing a spectrum of ages, interests, and backgrounds. Most Groups choose to meet casually over a meal or coffee and then dig deeper into a popular book, a book of the Bible, or the latest sermon. Members share their discoveries and questions on their journey with God as well as walk alongside each other through the celebrations and challenges of life.
How do I Get Involved?
Groups are where we can discover more deeply whom God created us to be and our unique roles in the body of Christ. This is where we can stop doing life on our own and start experiencing the joy of doing life with others. Click here to see a list of all the available Life Groups. If you would like to join or host a group, let Bonnie know.

Who knew?
According to a new study conducted by researchers at Ohio State University and Brookhaven National Laboratory in Upton, New York, discovered that college students rank receiving compliments (or doing well on an exam) above all other pleasurable activities, including seeing a friend, eating their favorite, receiving a paycheck, and even, yes, sex.
Brad Bushman, a professor of communication and psychology at Ohio State University was shocked (as was his team) by the findings, which are published online by the Journal of Personality, suggests that many young people may be a little too focused on themselves and inflating their own self worth. Bushman also stated that there is a fine line between self-esteem and narcissism. Over the top self-esteem becomes narcissism.
"We purposely chose things that we thought college students love. Most of the participants were around 19. College students love drinking, they love sex. They are poor; they love money and getting a paycheck. "
The study also raised interesting questions about the role of self-esteem and how important it is to functioning in society.
"It wouldn't be correct to say that the study participants were addicted to self-esteem. But, they were closer to being addicted to self-esteem than they were to being addicted to any other activity we studied."
These results really aren't that astounding if you take a look at the culture young people are immersed in. First, everyone is a celebrity because of websites like Facebook and Twitter. All of the seemingly trivial things that happen in our lives on a daily basis are turned into status updates or hourly tweets. Everything we do is seen as special or unique, instead of mundane and normal.
Reality television has replaced scripted shows for the most part on cable. We are watching ourselves all day long. Popular sites like YouTube allow us to post videos of ourselves and see how many people "view" us or "like" us.
Everything is about "me" in our society. The foods we eat, the clothes we wear, even the cell phone we choose, says something about our personality and what we value. Little girls' clothing is covered with sayings like "spoiled brat" or "princess", which reinforces the notion that this generation feels as though they are meant to be overindulged and treated like royalty.
Of course, it's all a guise. Does any of it really make us happier? Are these superficial interactions able to take the place of real and meaningful conversations with people we care about? Is it really that fun to fixate and focus on oneself 24-7? Many times, we seem to crave compliments because we feel so insignificant and unimportant. All day long we stare at glossy magazine covers with airbrushed celebrities, and think, "that's what I must be. Glossy and perfect." In reality, those who fish for compliments, want everyone to like them, and seek their validation outside of themselves are only setting themselves up for failure, because their own insecurity will get the better of them.
According to wikipedia, the story of Narcissus goes as follows:
In Greek mythology, Narcissus was a handsome Greek youth who had never seen his reflection. The nymph Echo had been punished by Hera for gossiping by being cursed to forever "have the last word". Echo had seen Narcissus walking through the forest and wanted to talk to him, but because of the curse she wasn't able to speak first. When Narcissus became thirsty and stopped to take a drink, he saw his reflection in the water for the first time. Not knowing any better, he fell in love and started talking to it. Echo had been following him and started repeating the last thing he said. Not yet understanding reflections, Narcissus thought his reflection was speaking to him and became more engaged. Unable to consummate his love, Narcissus pined away at the pool and changed into the flower that bears his name, the narcissus.
Is that us? Are we that flower?

Gov. Andrew Cuomo and New York's legislative leaders are negotiating over property tax relief and pre-kindergarten funding a week before a new budget is due.
Leaders emerging from closed-door talks Monday at the Capitol say they continue to make progress to get a deal by April 1.
There have been differences over how much money to devote to pre-K, a signature issue for New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio. There also has been legislative resistance to Cuomo's property tax relief plan, which would require localities to consolidate or share services for local homeowners to benefit.
Cuomo says Monday more than 225 local officials support his plan.
Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver says he and the Cuomo have been discussing the Dream Act, which would open state education aid to students in the country illegally.

We consider a general integral operator based on two types of analytic functions, namely, regular functions and, respectively, functions having a positive real part. Some univalence conditions for this integral operator are obtained.
1. Introduction
Let be the class of functions of the form which are analytic in the open unit disk, and normalized by . Also, let denote the subclass of consisting of univalent functions, in the open unit disk. We denote by , the class of functions which are analytic in , , for all and , the so-called Caratheodory functions.
In [1], Pescar introduced and studied the following integral operator: where are complex numbers, , , .
In this paper, we generalize this integral operator, by considering the general integral operator defined as follows: where , are complex numbers, , , , .
Remarks. This integral operator extends many other integral operators from related works on this field as those given by Srivastava, Mocanu, Owa, Pescar, Orhan, Breaz, and others. Using this new operator and the related univalence conditions that are going to be proved here, one can study some other already known operators in a unified perspective. Thus, for different particular cases of the parameters , , , our integral operator is shown to be an extension of the following integral operators.(i)For , the integral operator is the operator from (1.2), introduced by Pescar in [1].(ii)For , , , the integral operator was studied in [2], by Miller and Mocanu.(iii)For , , the integral operator was studied in [3], by Pescar and Breaz.(iv)For , , , and , the integral operator was studied in [4], by Breaz et al. and also in [5], by Srivastava et al.(v)For , , , we get the integral operator defined by D. Breaz and N. Breaz, in the paper [6].(vi)For , , , and , the operator was studied by Breaz et al., in the paper [7].
More precisely, if we are interested to study various properties of two or more different operators reminded above (and other similar operators which are not mentioned here), we can do this in an integrated manner by simply allowing the parameters involved in the definition, to be more general and consequently by studying only one operator, having the form (1.3). In this paper, we will study some univalence criteria for this new operator.
The following known results will be used in order to prove our results.
Lemma 1.1 (see [8]). Let be a complex number, and . If for all , then for any complex number , ,
Lemma 1.2 (see [9]). Let be a regular function in the open disk with , fixed. If has in one zero with multiplicity , then the equality for () can hold only if where is constant.
Lemma 1.3 (see [10]). For each ,
Lemma 1.4 (see [11]). If is regular in and , then
Also, for the statement of our main results, we need to define the following classes:
2. Main Results
Theorem 2.1. Let be complex numbers, , positive real numbers, , , and the functions , , .
then the general integral operator , defined by (1.3), is in the class .
Proof. We consider the regular function
After some calculus, we have
for all .
Since , by applying Lemma 1.2 for , we get
Also since , from Lemma 1.2, we have
If we put these last two inequalities in (2.3), together with the inequality from the hypothesis, we get
Now we take into account the fact that
thus obtaining
Further from Lemma 1.1, for , it is obvious that .
Corollary 2.2. Let , be complex numbers, , positive real numbers, , , . If then the function is in the class .
Proof. In Theorem 2.1, we take .
Corollary 2.3. Let , be complex numbers, , positive real numbers and , . If then the function belongs to the class .
Proof. In Theorem 2.1, we take .
Theorem 2.4. Let be complex numbers, , , and the functions , , , with
then the general integral operator belongs to the class .
Proof. Let consider again the regular function:
After some calculus, we have
Since and , for all , from Lemma 1.2, we obtain
Using these last two inequalities, the inequality from the hypothesis, and the fact that
from (2.16) we get
for all .
Hence, by Lemma 1.1, we have that .
Corollary 2.5. Let be complex numbers, , and , , , with If then the integral operator defined by is in the class .
Proof. In Theorem 2.4, we take .
Corollary 2.6. Let be complex numbers, , , and , with If then the integral operator defined by is in the class .
Proof. We put in Theorem 2.4, .
Theorem 2.7. Let be complex numbers, , and , . If then the general integral operator .
Proof. We consider the same regular function as in the proof of the previous theorems, and after some calculus we get
for all .
Since , from Lemma 1.3, we get
, , and since , from Lemma 1.4, we get
, .
Now if we use (2.28) and (2.29) in (2.27), we obtain
for all .
We consider two cases.
(1) If , we have
and further if we use this inequality together with the inequality from the hypothesis, from (2.30), we get
for all , and with Lemma 1.1 the proof is complete.
(2) If , we obtain
and further if we put this last inequality in (2.30) we get
for all .
Now by applying first the inequality condition from the hypothesis and then Lemma 1.1 for , the proof is complete.
Corollary 2.8. Let be complex numbers, , and . If then the integral operator is in the class .
Proof. In Theorem 2.7, we take .
Corollary 2.9. Let be complex numbers, , and . If then the integral operator is in the class .
Proof. In Theorem 2.7 we take .

text: Blaze's Knight - Chapter 3Blaze's KnightChapter 3The first thing I was aware of was that my entire body felt like it was made of lead. I tried to move, but I could only manage a weak little twitch. I felt pain shoot through every part of me, and I felt my body suddenly get very sore. Then I felt a soft, warm sensation that eased my tender body. I was in bed. But I don't remember getting ready...In fact, I don't remember much at all. What's going on?I opened my eyes a tiny bit and saw, with mild surprise, that it was dark. I never woke up before the sun rose. As my eyes got used to the darkness, I saw that it wasn't my room. Where am I? What am I doing here? How did I get here? A million questions teased my brain while I tried to make sense of it.I tried to get out of bed, but got a sharp protest from my body. I groaned, frustrated by the confusion. I saw a sudden movement next to my bed, but I was too tired and sore to be alarmed. I saw golden eyes glowing in the darkness."Silver?" Bl

Low-cost airlines flew 2.6 million passengers to Spain in September, up 41.4% on last year, the country's industry ministry said yesterday. About 41% of the passengers arrived on low-cost airlines, it said. Ryanair, easyJet and Air Berlin carried the most among the low-cost airlines, with 53% of passengers in the sector. One factor driving the increase of more than 1 million passengers has been the expansion of Madrid's Barajas airport, which allowed airlines to open new routes to Spain. Last year low-cost carriers saw traffic to Spain rise 14.7%, outstripping the growth of traditional carriers.

Nine proposals sent to Gov. Mark Dayton range from the high-profile sites in Minneapolis and Arden Hills to comic relief plans that include slapping one together with local lumber.
A new rendering of the proposed Vikings stadium in Arden Hills during winter.
Gov. Mark Dayton began sifting through nine plans Friday to build a Minnesota Vikings stadium, focusing on two proposals -- one for a $1.1 billion stadium in Ramsey County's Arden Hills and the other that would put the project where the Metrodome now sits.
The governor also met Friday with the rector of the Basilica of St. Mary, another possible Minneapolis stadium location. A Dayton spokesperson said the governor would spend the weekend studying the proposals and would have no comment until next week.
With the Legislature set to convene Jan. 24, the first stadium-related legislative bills also emerged Friday, including one that suggests simply transferring ownership of the Metrodome. Any improvements to the Dome site would be left up to the team.
The nine plans range from the serious to the strange and comical. One shows a so-called Apple iDome featuring a giant cellphone superimposed on a stadium while another claims all of the stadium building materials could be bought at Menards for about $100,000.
Bob Roscoe of Minneapolis said his stadium plan could not only be constructed entirely from materials available at Menards but also be "fabricated by the box store's night crew." His estimated cost? $100,006.
"[It] just came to me as I was driving across the Franklin Avenue bridge," Roscoe said Friday.
Proposals for a stadium near the Basilica are far pricier, but more realistic.
However, there could be new problems with the site near the historic church.
The Vikings have been eyeing the so-called Linden Avenue site on the western edge of downtown Minneapolis, but the city's charter could pose a steeper political climb than the Metrodome. That's because the site includes city-owned land, which requires a super-majority vote of the City Council -- nine of the 13 members -- to approve the sale.
The site is home to the city's Currie Maintenance Facility, where large city vehicles are stored and repaired.
The city charter states: "No real estate belonging to said City shall be sold unless ordered sold by a vote of two-thirds ( 2/3) of all the members of the City Council."
A 'deal-breaker'?City Council Member Lisa Goodman called it "one of the deal-breakers." Goodman is chairwoman of the city's community development committee and the Linden Avenue site is in her ward.
A deputy city attorney, however, said Friday that the Legislature could simply override the super-majority requirement.
City Council President Barb Johnson said she was aware of the nine-vote issue, but said it could be nullified by a state law addressing land sales from one public entity to another.
"If you sell land from one public entity to another public entity, supposedly there's state law about that," Johnson said.
"But I'm not a lawyer," she added.

This article describes how to provide Web content to mobile devices through WML (Wireless Markup Language). More specifically, this article covers how to track users; that is, how to recognize a repeat visitor to your site. WML and WMLScript version 1.1 are supported by the majority of mobile devices in use today. The articles assume a working knowledge of HTML and general Web technologies, and further assume that you have read the previous article(s) in this series. There are a variety of reasons to implement a recognition system that acknowledges that a user that has previously visited your site. The most useful of these reasons is to remember user preferences. For example, suppose that you offer a service of finding particular restaurants near a user. Each user may prefer a certain type of food, environment, etc., and knowing where the user is located is important so that you can find restaurants in that vicinity. Of course, users don't want to input all their preferences every time they visit your site—it's better to save most of the settings, recognize users when they return, and recall their settings. When WML was first implemented, the code could retrieve the user's cell phone number from the device; this phone number could act as a unique identifier. Unfortunately, this ability was recognized as an invasion of privacy, and the feature was discontinued. Now there is no way to retrieve a unique identifier from the user's device. What options are left? You could have the user input his or her telephone number on each visit, assign the visitor a login name, or have the user enter an identifier during each visit. Better yet, why not store the identifier on the user's device for recall each time he or she visits your site? The term cookie refers to the HTTP technology that allows a site to store data on a user's machine. When cookies were first used, they were fairly innocuous, intended primarily for storing user preferences. However, it didn't take long for the business side of the Web to realize the potential of cookies and begin using them for their own purposes—tracking user activities, shopping habits, and other bits of personal information. Shortly thereafter, the media and user advocates led the charge against cookies, causing most modern browsers to offer the option of refusing to store any cookies, or allowing the user to choose when a cookie should or should not be stored. Unfortunately, refusing cookies causes problems for Web sites that use cookies to store user preferences and login info, requiring the user to reenter such info on each visit. Cookies work by storing data on the user's local computer/device. This data is stored via an HTTP dialog between the server and the client. That data can then be recalled by the server, processed, updated, etc. Figure 1 shows the data paths associated with storing and retrieving cookies. Figure 1 - Cookie data is passed back and forth between the server and client via the HTTP stream, but the data is actually stored on the client side. The information stored in the cookie can be just about any type of data: string, date, an integer, or a real number. Most sites choose to encode cookie data into a lengthy string that can be decoded and parsed by the site code. In addition to data, cookies are stored with a time to live (TTL), specifying how long the cookie should be stored before being discarded. The cookie also indicates the scope for which it should be used—that is, what directory(ies) on the server are valid for that cookie. This allows a site to store multiple cookies with the same name, but different scopes. For example, a site with several sections could store preferences for each section in a cookie named "prefs." Because WML doesn't have any built-in cookie functions, you have to use other technologies to store and retrieve cookies. This article shows how to use Perl, which has robust cookie-handling abilities. We'll use the HTTP header Set-Cookie to set cookies in the examples. Although WML has a <head> tag, don't confuse the HTTP header with the WML card head—they're different animals. Cookies must be set before the end of the HTTP header; the WML <head> comes after the HTTP header has been sent, and therefore it cannot be used to set cookies. You can use almost any language that supports cookie functions to accomplish the goals in this article. For example, PHP's header() function can be used to set cookies. Even more control can be accomplished with PHP's setcookie() function. Several variable structures exist in PHP to read cookies, including $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS and $_COOKIE arrays. There are many options for handling cookies in Perl, including simple HTTP methods and even dedicated Perl libraries such as cookie-lib.pl. We'll use the simple HTTP methods for this article. As discussed earlier, we can use the HTTP header Set-Cookie to set cookies. In its simplest usage, this header takes the following form: For example, a real header might be as follows: When this header is passed to a browser, it sets the cookie "name" equal to "Steve." Because the header doesn't include a time to live (TTL), the cookie is only valid for the current session. When the browser is closed, the cookie expires and is deleted. To include a TTL, you add the parameter expires as shown in the following example: Notice the use of a semicolon (;) to delimit the parameters. The date is in the format "weekday, dd/Mon/yy hh:mm:ss." In the example above, the cookie will expire at one second before midnight on Monday, March 24, 2003, Greenwich Mean Time. Tip: It's important to include at least one blank line after the Set-Cookie header and before the WML headers so the client correctly identifies the WML headers. Let's look at a real example of using Perl to set a cookie for a WML deck. The following code snippet shows how Perl is used to set a cookie and output a status ("Cookie set") message: The cookie in the code above was set without a TTL. To set an expiration date, we draw on the Date::Calc module to do our date calculations:> Note: The Date::Calc module has been covered in several previous articles. The module is available from CPAN, at http://search.cpan.org/author/STBEY/Date-Calc-5.3/Calc.pod. Reading cookies with Perl is even easier than setting them, thanks to the environment variable HTTP_COOKIE. This variable contains name/value pairs for all applicable cookies (those matching the current scope). To parse the name/value list, you could use the following code: This code effectively parses the cookie list into the array $cookie, where each value can be accessed by its name. For example, our earlier "name" example would yield: An extended example, displaying the cookie value in WML, is shown below: If the cookie was still set, this code would display the following: To remove a cookie, you simply set the expiration of the cookie to a date/time that has already passed. For example, we could use the code earlier but subtract a day or two to expire the cookie. The code, using Date::Calc functions, would resemble the following: Note the use of a minus sign in the Add_Delta_Days function to subtract a year from today. We could just as easily subtract only one day. Now that we can set and retrieve cookies, what exactly do we do with them? As stated earlier, we could store a variety of information in cookies for use in helping the user interface when the visitor returns to our site. In the earlier restaurant example, for instance, you could utilize the following cookies: Alternatively, you could encode all this data into one lengthy string. My advice, however, would be to tie one unique piece of data that identifies the user to a database record. Basically, store only what you need on the client device, and store the rest of the data in a database accessible by the server. The flowchart for an application using this method might resemble Figure 2. On entering the site, the user's browser is checked for an ID cookie. If the cookie is found, the user's preferences are retrieved from the server's database and the site is displayed with those preferences. If the cookie is not set, the user is taken to a preference form and queried for his/her preferences. Those preferences are stored in the server's database and the user's ID is stored as a cookie.

For more robust cookie management, the reader is encouraged to check out other cookie-handling methods, such as cookie-lib.pl and HTTP::Cookies. The former is available online at The CGI Resource Index (http://cgi.resourceindex.com/Programs_and_Scripts/Perl/Cookies/); the latter is from CPAN (http://search.cpan.org/author/RSE/lcwa-1.0.0/lib/lwp/lib/HTTP/Cookies.pm).

Different isoforms of a protein complex termed the apoptosis- and splicing-associated protein (ASAP) were isolated from HeLa cell extract. ASAP complexes are composed of the polypeptides SAP18 and RNPS1 and different isoforms of the Acinus protein. While Acinus had previously been implicated in apoptosis and was recently identified as a component of the spliceosome, RNPS1 has been described as a general activator of RNA processing. Addition of ASAP isoforms to in vitro splicing reactions inhibits RNA processing mediated by ASF/SF2, by SC35, or by RNPS1. Additionally, microinjection of ASAP complexes into mammalian cells resulted in acceleration of cell death. Importantly, after induction of apoptosis the ASAP complex disassembles. Taken together, our results suggest an important role for the ASAP complexes in linking RNA processing and apoptosis.

About the Manufacturer
The goal of Blu Dot is to bring good design to as many people as possible, which means creating products that are useful, affordable, and desirable. To make that happen, their design process is founded on collaboration. Not just among themselves, as they play show-and-tell with concepts, but a total collaboration between pencil and paper, materials and machines, even packaging and assembly. Blu Dot's designers like to think that the form is almost inevitable, a by-product of the process. Their job is simply to help it emerge as beautifully and as efficiently as possible. brbr Blu Dot was formed by three college friends - John Christakos, Charles Lazor, and Maurice Blanks, who shared a passion for art, architecture, and design. After they left college and began to furnish their first homes, they didn't like the stuff they could afford and couldn't afford the stuff they liked. They figured they were not alone and were naïve enough to try and do something about it. Blu Dot was born in 1997. Since then, the idea that good design is not just about beauty or form - it should also be about making everyone's lives just a little easier and a little more enjoyable.STYLE

A perfect simple desk Yan from Bellevue, WA– Verified Buyer The desk arrived quickly after I placed the order. The quality is great, just what I expected. The wood structure is solid and the desk looks sleek. If you are looking for a desk which doesn't take much space in the room, this is a great choice. I did have some trouble on the final assemble step. I believe the instruction has an incorrect layout on the pieces direction. Anyway, we figured this out ourselves and the desk looks great. |
Best desk ever! My secret co-worker Kathrin from Somerville, MA– Verified Buyer This writing desk is one of my favorite pieces in my home office. It is elegant and does not take up much space, yet provides ample surface for my laptop & some basics. What I love best: It helps me to keep my desk decluttered since it does not provide much storage space, which is at least for me a great advantage... I find myself getting things done instead of placing them into a drawer and/or creating to-do piles of paperwork :-) |
Versatility and functionality a huge plus! CSM from San Francisco, CA– Verified Buyer Being a student means having large reading loads and a need for a sizable reading space and height for writing. This exceeds my expectations! I wish there was a solid walnut version with solid wood legs, but the walnut veneer is adequate for what the desk is intended for. Highly recommended for my fellow students out there. |
Stash desk perfect Natalie from Colorado Springs, CO– Verified Buyer I needed a desk to fit my modern space. Space is tight and this desk fits perfectly, yet is large enough for a work desk (I work from home). Is clean, simple and adds to work space without taking over the room. Well made and feels sturdy. Very happy with this purchase. |
Modern Desk Paula from Encinitas, CA– Verified Buyer Bought this desk for my daughter who lives in a small ny apt. The desk is a prefect size. My daughter had to put the desk together and said it was NOT EASY. Still a bit shaky but we will try to tighten it up when we visit next. |
Great looking small desk laura from falls church, VA– Verified Buyer I purchased this desk for my teenager - it's perfect for a small bedroom. Shipping was quick and only minimal assembly was required. The quality is great. |
Excellent desk for the $$$ Adam from Calgary, AB– Verified Buyer The desk is very straight forward to assemble and is very sturdy. It's a great looking piece, just wish is was solid wood and not a walnut veneer. |
Nice, simple and functional desk. Rita from Richardson, TX– Verified Buyer We wanted a small, plain desk for our home office and found the Stash desk. We are enjoying it! So pleased with our choice. |
Perfect bedroom desk Michele from Brooklyn, NY– Verified Buyer The wood top is solid ash and nicely finished. It looks sleek and soft enough to have in our bedroom. Love it. |
Great desk Laura from Ringoes, NJ– Verified Buyer Love it! Nice look desk. Assembly easy, nice quality. No cons that I can think of. |

6.barnwell / moises
7. A.karthik
10.murali kathik
they should play barnwell and sohal in my opinion. sohal is super explosive up the top. and barnwell is a strong finisher and a big hitter. he is a mini pollard and he can bowl 4 overs easily. thats the main reason i really want barnwell to have a chance. if he bowls really well he can take place of Rampaul and we can bring murali back into the team and then we would be lethal.
i guess chances are dilshan will play again, but if he does, he better be really aggressive from up front. take chances take risks. i just feel if you bowl stumpto stump against dilshan he doesnt really get anything away, can only go after balls that are outside off or on the pads. but he needs to take more initiative. Tiwary also needs to bat at a faster strike rate. i know last game does not count because we were chasing a low total. but they will need to be on song today.
this team bats lower down the order, which is key, last game i feel if gayle got out we might have lost that game, because we have no depth. this one bats till 7 at least. give sohal and barn well a go early in the tournament now so we can gauge their effectiveness. it is a good time to take a risk and see if they will come off. both are good t20 players. and sohal will take the pressure of gayle at the top, which is key.

STS117-S-041 (8 June 2007) --- Captured with a remote camera equipped with a special "fish-eye" lens, the Space Shuttle Atlantis and its seven-member STS-117 crew head toward Earth-orbit and a scheduled link-up with the International Space Station. Liftoff from Kennedy Space Center's launch pad 39A occurred at 7:38 p.m. (EDT) on June 8, 2007. Onboard are astronauts Rick Sturckow, commander; Lee Archambault, pilot; Jim Reilly, Patrick Forrester, John "Danny" Olivas, Steven Swanson and Clayton Anderson, all mission specialists. Anderson will join Expedition 15 in progress to serve as a flight engineer aboard the station. Atlantis will dock with the orbital outpost on Sunday, June 10, to begin a joint mission that will increase the complex's power generation capability. Using the shuttle and station robotic arms and conducting three scheduled spacewalks, the astronauts will install another set of giant solar array wings on the station and retract another array, preparing it for a future move.
