I have been making this recipe (basically) for the last 15 years, since I tasted it in Albuquerque, NM.
I used juice of 2 lemons and 5 T. olive oil. Went perfectly with lemon-dill baked salmon for Easter dinner.
As an old tabbouleh fan I was glad to see this recipe. I made it a few times, deleting the cukes, keeping amount of bulgar the same and adding a bit more oil and lemon. One ingredient missing in my opinion, is cumin. I added almost a teaspoon to the dressing and it really improved the depth of the dish.
Very good with a few modifications. As others have already said, this recipe needs more olive oil (4-5 tbs) and more lemon juice (2 lemons). I reduced the bulgur to 1/4c. but thought that this was too little an amount.
This is a great dish. Your recipe is good, but I agree with other reviewers & left out the cucumbers & used less bulgar wheat & more parsley. That's the way my Lebanese grandmother made it. It's more authentic, and it's better that way.
This is very similar to a fantastic recipe that my mother gave me from the January 1973 issue of Gourmet. That recipe makes a "dressing" of the olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper but also has garlic and a dash of cayenne pepper. Chopped scallions are also in the salad. Unfortunately, I have lost the recipe. Is anyone out there holding on to some real old back issues? P.S. My Lebanese friends all say the parsley to bulgar ratio should be higher but my American friends prefer it lower.
I made this exactly as directed and was pleased with the outcome. It was a colorful and fresh side dish that went well with grilled lamb kebobs. I am a parsley lover, but the rest of my family isn't quite so keen on the stuff, and they weren't enthusiastic about this dish. All of us agreed that there was a bit too much lemon, and I may have used a particularly sour one, but next time I will start with a bit less and only add more if necessary.
This was an excellent starting place for tabbouleh. I agree with the previous review - more lemon and oil - addded the salt and tomatoes just before serving and no cucumber. Lived a long time in the Middle East and this comes closest to what I remember, perhaps one needs to be a native to get it just right...
Being Lebanese we eat tabbouleh at least twice a week at our house, 1/2c burghul for 2 cups of parsley is too much, you need to decrease that to a 1/4cup. Also both lemon juice and olive oil need to be increased to about a 1/2 cup each, although lemon and salt should really be adjusted to one's taste. Cucumber should be eliminated altogether. Tabbouleh is usually served with romaine lettuce on the side or fresh grape leaves off the vine.

I am fifty two years old and have not had a period in two years. Just two weeks ago my doctor injected the Natural Hormone Pellets, and prescribed 200mg. Pometrium (progesterone). However, I have gained about six pounds in only two weeks, my diet had not changed and I getting totally disgusted. Has anyone else experienced this? And does it seem to be temporaty?
I am 49 and have been on bioidentical hormones for 6 weeks now (oestrogen and progesterone troches) and though Im so grateful that the depression is gone and energy has returned (after struggling for the last 4 years until the fatigue and depression and anxiety became so debilitating that I was in great distress and almost unable t work) I am however now genuinely frightened of the continued weight gain (5 kilos in 6 weeks)! Ive been on the 5:2 lifestyle diet for 2 weeks and am the oily person I know who has acutally gained weight on it. I am a healthy eater ( a dance teacher some time ago so know good health etc) and just can't sustain the stress and embarrassment of this sort of weight gain. I can no longer wear shorts and won't swim and am aware that a number of friends are noticing, let alone my husband trying to say its ok even despite no libido (as long as we can stop it from here). Will coming off the hormones help return my weight to normal as Id almost rather be depressed than humiliated. Please help!
September 28, 2014 - 7:15amHi Anon
I'm really sorry to read about this, that definitely is a lot of weight gain and a short amount of time and is probably really physically uncomfortable as well as emotionally hard to take.
Some hormone replacements are estrogen only but these can help raise the risk of ovarian cancer so are better from women who have had a hysterectomy. There are progestin only options. And a combination.
Which kind are you on? Many people have to fiddle around with their dosages to find what works for me. I think this is something you discuss with your doctor as soon as possible - 5k is bad enough it that's the extent of it but if you keep gaining, something needs to be done.
October 3, 2014 - 5:31am'only', not 'oily' (damn autocorrect)
September 28, 2014 - 7:18amI am 48 years old and on my second round of Hormone therapy. During this time I have gained 7 pounds and am totally grossed out by my body! I am a work out fanatic so no my diet has not changed nor my workouts, well I will say my workouts are increased in intensity because of the weight gain. I have gained this weight in my abdomen, hips, quads, and butt! My clothes do not fit and I am miserable from the weight gain, but pleased that my hot tantrums at night, hair loss, and temper have gotten better. Please help me understand what is going on with my body. I know people will go what is she grumbling about when I say my zero clothes don't fit anymore, but I have truly earned those zero pants. Could this be water retention since it is only in my lower half? Please help! Stressed in Tennessee!!!!!
March 11, 2012 - 7:26pmmy experience on bio identical testosterone ,progesterone and estrogen and menopause itself ...is the same results..big butt and popped out tummy and heavy legs at top...
yes my pants keep getting tighter too no matter what i do....but i have read this is in the hormones making you gain and can also be a low thyroid....i have not found any remedies but wearing shapewear online from jcpenney that goes below the knee that help make dress pants look better and more toned....other than that...just disgusted also....i have never gained like this and it is really hard wondering how much more weigh..i have went up two pant sizes this year....from a 2 to a 6/8 so i know what you mean hence i am very short so i look so heavy on the bottom and slimmer up top but my skin is aging fast also and crepey...this is really not a good time...
Anon, I'm sorry you're having such a difficult time with menopause.
While your symptoms are definitely seen in many menopausal women, I do think it's also a good idea to get your thyroid checked out. Have you done this yet, or talked to your doctor about it?
BTW, test results...
Folic Stimulating Hormone (FSH)-30.4
Luteinizing Hormone (LH)-29.1
For postmenopausal woman, estrogen range is suppose to be 0-30. Progressive docs in the field say you won't feel great until you are at least at 90, even menopausal or post-menopausal.
Post and menopausal women should be at <1 for progesterone. But she is above range on estrogen and at the low end of the progesterone range. This is why I think estrogen dominance. We get zero cooperation from our doctors, they treat the individual labs without really looking at the balance or trying things until she feels better. So, basically, I have to be the hammer... Thanks!
I think you're wonderful to work so hard for answers and information on your wife's behalf. I'm very concerned that you "get zero cooperation from our doctors." With the amount of work you do to research your wife's conditions and symptoms, I am sure that you worked to find good doctors; but you are not pleased with them? Are these specialists in hormones and/or fibromyalgia?
Has any doctor suggested trying a natural progesterone for your wife? Or if you suggested it, what was his/her response?
You mention that your wife is 49 and started menopause at 45. I am assuming this means total cessation of periods at that time, right? So she's been in menopause for about four years?
You have probably found this site, but it may be helpful:
I am wondering if your wife would benefit from seeing a naturopathic physician. Naturopathic physicians do consider the entire body and all its systems/symptoms when they are treating a patient. They are not conventional physicians -- though they often work with conventional physicians. They use natural processes to help the body heal itself.
Here's an EmpowHer article about going to a naturopath:
Here is the site for the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians, and there's a box where you can search for those near you. You can then look at the websites for the areas of emphasis for invidual physicians to see if they are a fit for you:
Where do you live, neversurrendr? (Just city and state). Do you have a lot of options available to you?
June 7, 2010 - 8:41amHi Diane. This actually about my wife (I'm the husband). She has a ton of symptoms. HOWEVER, she has been diagnosed with fybromyalgia and she is disabled because of it (she is 49). Here is the kicker- the fybro symptoms match the estrogen dominance list I find everywhere. AND the fybro symptoms came on the same time as menipause at 45. She has an immune disorder that overreacts to everything, so I spend days, weeks, months chasing answers down. I understand all about hormonal balance and so forth. I just can't find the actual corresponding numbers for testosterone and progesterone based on a given estrogen number. Everything seems to everything you need except actual numbers to compare... Crazy, right?
June 4, 2010 - 8:48amI've searched the web over... Can't find what the actual numbers for balance are. Example: Estrogen is 30, progesterone should be?? Estrogen is 80, progesterone should be?? Estrogen is 200, progesterone should be??

I use to have a job that had a lot of prestige. . a great title. . offered me a great opportunity. But the lady I worked for cared more about making a dollar than she did about the people who worked for her. She would give you feedback that was honest, but it cut like a knife.
I learned so much from that lady about running a business. . taking ownership of a product. . adhering to a scope. . providing quality work. . getting work done on time and under budget.

"Move!" That was the statement that started the battle between me and Fiance.
He walked over to my 8-year old, who was playing on my iPad and said, "Move!" My son frowned and looked at Fiance and then at me, and I softly said, "He meant excuse me, but move J." Fiance became angered and said, "No, I didn't."

Three years ago I made the decision to let go of the man I had spent 14 years building a life with. It was a decision I made over the course of two years; battling with myself and those close to me who saw the destruction the relationship was creating in my life and in my spirit. It was really awful in the end. But it's over, and I'm happier.
But my children are not.

This morning was a "different" one.
The boys walk a half-block to the bus stop; yet I sit there in my car until I see the bus on the horizon before I go to work. This morning, my 7 year old hopped in the car as I pulled out of the garage and wanted a ride to the bus stop. That was "diferent."
When I saw the bus on the horizon (about 2 blocks away), I left for work. Traffic was awful, so it took me about 42 mins to actually get to work this morning.

We are a family of 5 - children 16, 13 and 10. Travvelling to Asia for the first time for two weeks in July.
We would like to travel in Malaysia and experience some of the culture, nature, wildlife and beach. We were considering flying to KL , spending some time on the peninsula and then possibly on to Sabah.
I keep reading information, but just a bit overwhelemd and not sure where to start, how to travel around etc.
Can we travel in Sabah on our own or would we be better off doing it on a small tour?
we haven't got unlimited piles of cash so want to choose wisely.
Any help much appreciated thank you
(or would we be better off going to Thailand?)
Help - family holiday in Malaysia - confused

There are lots of options. However, considering that time is limited and that you want to visit Sabah and do some beach, consider the following itinerary:
Day 1: arrive in KL; visit KL and relax
Day 2: visit KL; in the late afternoon fly KL-Sandakan with Airasia AK5192, 17:50-20:40
Day 3: charter a car or minibus for the whole day; morning trip to Sepilok (orangutans), afternoon trip to Labuk bay (proboscis monkeys), after Labuk bay drive to Sukau on the Kinabatangan river
Day 4: wildlife excursions on the Kinabatangan river
Day 5: wildlife excursions on the Kinabatangan river
Day 6: one more wildlife morning trip, then back to Sandakan, catch Airasia AK6495 flight to KK (14:35-15:20), then catch Airasia flight AK6359 (21:10-22:35) to Kuching
Day 7 - Day 9: explore Kuching, national parks around Kuching, Sarawak cultural village
On day 9: evening flight to KL, spend the night at the airport terminal (Tune hotel)
Day 10: 8am flight or 10:20am Airasia flight to Kota Bharu, taxi to Kuala Besut, boat to Perhentian island; rest of the day on Perhentian
Day 11-13: Perhentian island (beach, snorkelling etc)
Day 14: back to KL
You can also reduce Borneo by a day or two and make a side trip to Melaka from KL.
No need to book any tours. You can book all flights by yourself and charter the taxis on your own. -

The above itinerary sounds a little ambitious to me, especially since in includes Sarawak, which you haven't expressed any interest in. There are also a lot of flights, which with a family of five will be expensive, even on Air Asia.
I would stay in Sabah rather than flying to Kuching and then on to Kota Baru. There are overland tours to Kota Kinabalu from Sandakan, or you could fly there, and stay at one of the beach resorts outside KK or on one of the nearby islands. They're just as nice, and probably less crowded that the Perhentians.
After KK, fly back to KL and spend a day or two more there to wind down and prepare for the (probably long) flight back. -
Report Abuse
There is actually not that much to do in KK and the beaches there are rather mediocre, if compared to Perhentian.
Report Abuse
But, amin, you have them flying all over Malaysia just to get a better beach. There are some lovely beaches outside of KK.
I agree with Michael, the itinerary outlined is way too much traveling, too little experiencing. It looks like a travel agent's itinerary - they want you always on the move so you feel like you got your money's worth as opposed to slowing down and experiencing. Especially with children, you want to settle in places.
mapleg, you can certainly do what you want independently. Absolutely no need for a tour. -
Report Abuse
But, Kathie, it's just two flights. They leave in the evening and are on Perhentian the next day.
There are no decent beaches around KK and accomodation on Pulau Manukan is very expensive: 286 Euro for a double room if you book in advance over the Internet. Just imagine what a family of five would pay. On the other hand I hope you are not suggesting that they spend their beach holiday in a city.
Perhentian has much, much better beaches, crystal clear water and much more affordable accomodation.
Regarding the itinerary, they are in four places in two weeks (KL, Sandakan, Kuching, Perhentian) - perfectly doable. Besides this is just a proposal. The OP will decide in the end decide what to do and what not to do. -
Report Abuse
thank you everyone am sitting down with computer, glass of wine and husband to work out what is doable. Really welcome all your help
Report Abuse
FWIW, we are going to be in Malaysia in June ( family of 4, kids 6 and 8 ) and our itinerary is something like
KL 4 nites
Penang 4 nites
Perhantians 5 nites
Somewhere yet to be decided 3 or 4 nites
Borneo is great just remember there will be a load of road travel involved.
Let us know what you settle on. Comment has been removed by Fodor's moderators

University home > School of Chemistry > Courses and programmes > Postgraduate > Postgraduate degree programmes
We welcome applications and enquiries from candidates in the UK and overseas for both the MSc by Research and PhD programs which are available in all branches of chemistry.
The PhD programme usually takes 3.5 - 4 years to complete. Postgraduates make a vital contribution in research whilst developing a variety of skills in chemistry and transferable skills in other areas for example, oral and poster presentations both in Bristol and at conferences, report writing, team working, public engagement in science and health and safety.
The Graduate School offers a varied series of postgraduate lectures. There is an extensive research seminar programme with internationally leading scientists reporting their latest results in cutting edge research. Also available are special postgraduate courses run as part of our Centres for Doctoral Training as well as many opportunities for training courses within the Bristol Doctoral College. Within the School of Chemistry we also have our own online learning enviroment the Dynamic Laboratory Manual (DLM) which contains a number of interactive tutorials that can be accessed by both Postgraduate and Undergraduate students.
The degree of Doctor of Philosophy is awarded on the basis of the presentation and examination of a thesis and an oral examination (viva voce). Annual Progress Monitoring ensures satisfactory performance each year.
The MSc by Research programme takes a maximum of 2 years, although laboratory based work can be completed in as little as 12 months. The degree is awarded on the basis of the presentation and examination of a thesis and an oral examination (viva voce). An extensive programme of lectures and research seminars is available to all postgraduates.

Condensed matter meets Biophysics : understanding glasses with proteins (Dr Paddy Royall, School of Chemistry & Dr Ross Anderson, School of Biochemistry) This project will move into literally unseen areas to tackle one of the deepest questions of condensed matter physics : the glass transition. Using Nobel-prize-winning technology in the form of super-resolution microscopy we shall probe protein suspensions at lengthscales never before seen in "real space". More specifically this project will use fluorescently labeled proteins expressed in collaboration with Dr Ross Anderson in Biochemistry with tailored interactions as "model atoms" to probe glassy phenomena in novel ways. The project thus combines the philiosophy of colloids as model systems in a biological context. The small size of the proteins (relative to colloids) will give us access to dynamical regimes with qualitatively different behavior to which has not been directly visualized (the dynamical regime between the mode-coupling transition and the glass transition). The project will thus exploit control over interactions in a biological system while simultaneously giving key insight into which of the many competing theories which pertain to describe the glass transition stands up to experimental scrutiny. The project of funded by the European Research Council and will run for 3.5 years starting in 2015. For further details please contact Dr Paddy Royall (email@example.com)
Protolife-inspired Chemical Systems (x3 positions available). Three University of Bristol sponsored postgraduate studentships are now available in the newly established Bristol Centre for Protolife Research (School of Chemistry) under the leadership of Professor Stephen Mann FRS. The research involves the design, construction and utilization of new types of synthetic protocells based on biomimetic self-assembly. Projects will be highly interdisciplinary and relevant to emerging areas of self-organized materials, systems-based nanoscience, artificial cellularity, synthetic biology and bioinspired engineering. The work also interfaces with questions concerning the origin of life and the transition of non-living systems into primitive forms of living matter.

Conformational dynamics in enzyme catalysis (PDF, 1,158kB) (Dr David Glowacki, School of Chemistry) Billions of years of evolution have made enzymes superb catalysts, essential to life as we know it. However, the underlying physical principles that guide enzyme function remain hotly debated. Even the simplest enzymes, which facilitate proton transfer, are puzzling. Proton transfer enzymes exhibit measurable quantum mechanical behavior as a result of 'tunneling', which is a well-studied phenomena within the field of molecular dynamics and kinetics. The problem is that tunneling within some enzymes doesn't appear to follow the standard laws that govern tunneling in most molecular systems, and it's not obvious why. [1] In this project, you will fuse state-of-the-art methods in biomolecular simulation, supercomputing, and quantum mechanics to simulate aromatic amine dehydrogenase (AADH), which is amongst the most puzzling of the proton transfer enzymes. Analysis of your results will provide microscopic insight that helps us to better the fundamental atomic physics by which enzymes carry out their function, ultimately allowing us to customize enzymes to tackle issues related to human health and the environment. This project, funded by the Royal Society, will begin in September 2015 at the latest. Based within the University of Bristol's Centre for Computational Chemistry (CCC), this project will also involve funded trips to engage with international collaborators in the USA (Stanford University and Oak Ridge National Laboratory).

Homogeneous Catalysis and Organometallic Chemistry (Prof Duncan Wass, School of Chemistry) An industrial CASE award PhD studentship is available in the group of Professor Duncan Wass (www.wassresearchgroup.com) looking at new catalytic routes to petrochemicals. The project will involve the synthesis of new ligands and organometallic complexes, and the catalytic screening and mechanistic study of these systems. For more details, contact Professor Duncan Wass (email@example.com)
Developing approaches for the mass spectrometry based analysis of complex petrochemical deposits (Dr Paul Gates and Dr Christopher Arthur, School of Chemistry). Petrochemical deposits such as lubricant sludges, fuel lacquers, asphaltenes and refining residues represent a significant challenge to analytical science and are poorly understood from a chemical perspective. This project focuses on the detailed molecular characterisation of such deposits using advanced mass spectrometric techniques (High resolution ESI-MS/MS coupled with UHPLC and IMS in solution phase and MALDI and DART technologies for surface deposits). One of the key challenges to this type of analysis is the sheer complexity of the data obtained. It is envisaged that a significant part of the project will revolve around data reduction, simplification and interrogation by applying and developing software tools alongside other researchers working in complex sample analysis (proteomics, metabolomics, lipidomics etc.). It is also hoped that the application of novel structural elucidation methodologies can be used for compound ID. This project would be well suited to an organic chemist with an analytical focus, who is willing to apply and develop computational and data processing methods to aid in the analysis. The project is funded through a BP/EPSRC Case award and will run for 4 years starting in 2015. Please contact Dr Paul Gates (firstname.lastname@example.com).
Please note: When applying online, please apply to the Faculty of Science and for the NERC Great Western Four Plus Doctoral Training Partnership (PhD) programme. When asked for your proposed research topic, please indicate that you are applying for a project based in the School of Chemistry. If you wish to apply to multiple projects in different schools, please submit a separate application for each project (you do not need to do this if you are applying to projects within the same school). You will need to change your username for each application but you can maintain the same e-mail address and password). The deadline for applications is midday Thursday 15th January 2015.
Reducing the Uncertainties in Light Scattering and Absorption by Individual Aerosol Particles (Professor Andrew Orr-Ewing and Professor Jonathan Reid, School of Chemistry). Aerosol particles and cloud droplets play a significant role in determining the radiative balance of the atmosphere, representing the largest uncertainty in current predictions of climate change. By scattering and absorbing sunlight and terrestrial radiation, they directly influence the solar flux penetrating through the atmosphere and the radiative loss of heat (infrared light) into space. This project will use a recently developed suite of new instruments capable of measuring the optical properties of individual aerosol particles and the growth in the aerosol particle sizes at high relative humidity. The research will be carried out in collaboration with Dr Justin Langridge (UK Met Office) and Prof Ellie Highwood (Dept of Meteorology, University of reading).
Glassy and Ultraviscous Aerosol (Professor Jonathan Reid, School of Chemistry). Aerosols play significant roles in the atmosphere, influencing the formation and lifetimes of clouds, impacting on visibility and air quality, and affecting human health. It is most frequently assumed that the composition of the condensed fraction of the aerosol is governed by thermodynamic principles with the proportions of semi-volatile organic components and water in the gas and particulate phases at equilibrium. Recently, however, it has been shown that secondary organic aerosol (SOA) can exist in amorphous, viscous and even glassy phases, suggesting that ambient aerosol does not achieve equilibrium on an instantaneous timescale. Thus, the partitioning of water, semi-volatile organic components and chemical oxidants between the gas and particle phases will be kinetically determined, influencing the activity of SOA as cloud condensation nuclei and ice nuclei, the persistence of organic components in the environment and impacting on their oxidative lifetimes in the atmosphere. In this project, we will investigate the kinetic factors that inhibit changes in aerosol composition, studying the kinetics of water condensation or evaporation on single aerosol particles held in optical tweezers, and simulating the processes that occur in the atmosphere.
Reconstruction of anoxia in ancient oceans (Professor Rich Pancost, School of Chemistry). Ancient climate perturbations are frequently associated with complex biogeochemical responses, including widespread ocean anoxia, and these suggest that anthropogenic warming could have a similar effect. However, not all rapid warming events had the same impact and the goal of this project is to us a combination of new organic geochemical proxies for marine anoxia and intermediate complexity modelling to compare and contrast past ocean anoxia events. The successful applicant will work across two world-leading research groups, the OGU (Chemistry) and BRIDGE (Geographical Sciences) all under the banner of the interdisciplinary Cabot Institute.
Radiocarbon measurements to balance the UK carbon budget (Professor Simon O'Doherty & Dr Matt Rigby, School of Chemistry). It is vital that we accurately quantify the UK's carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. However, one difficulty is that the net exchange of CO2 between the land or ocean surface and the atmosphere is due to a complex mixture of both anthropogenic and natural sources and sinks. Measurements of radiocarbon (14C, a heavy, unstable isotope of 12C) in atmospheric CO2 may provide valuable clues about the magnitude of the UK's man-made emissions. This is because fossil fuels, having been buried beneath the ground for millennia, do not contain 14C, which has a lifetime of a few thousand years, and can therefore be used as a tracer of anthropogenic activity. When combined with models of atmospheric chemistry and transport, 14C-CO2 measurements can be used to determine the magnitude of the UK's fossil fuel CO2 emissions. See the following PDF for further details: Radiocarbon measurement project GW4 (PDF, 224kB).
Arctic methane tipping points - watching the atmosphere for change (Dr Matt Rigby, Professor Simon O'Doherty, School of Chemistry & Dr Alistair Manning, Met Office). In this project, you will use atmospheric observations to estimate the current methane flux from the Arctic. These estimates will be used to further our understanding of factors such as the freeze-thaw cycle of Arctic wetlands, and the complex biogeochemistry of these intriguing ecosystems. You will also estimate emissions from human activities in this area, particularly related to gas extraction. Such estimates will be produced using the Met Office NAME atmospheric chemical transport model and Bayesian statistical methods in order to work backwards from the observations to determine surface fluxes. Once a baseline for current Arctic emissions has been established, you will run plausible permafrost thawing and hydrate destabilisation scenarios for the next 100 years. You will determine whether the current observing system could rapidly detect and attribute such changes. If not, you will design an early warning system of atmospheric sensors that could be deployed for such a purpose.

Are IGF2R binding domains Nature's answer to a scalable ligand-binding platform? (Prof Matthew Crump , School of Chemistry, Dr Paul Race, School of Biochemistry (University of Bristol) & Prof Bass Hassan, Sir William Dunn School of Medicine (University of Oxford). Aims of the project. Recently we have used NMR, X-ray crystallography and yeast surface display assays to engineer an Insulin growth factor 2 (IGF2) super-antagonist based on domain 11 from the IGF2 receptor (IGF2R) (Crump & Hassan and co-workers 2012, Science 238, 1209-1213.). We believe this domain has remarkable adaptability for binding a range of ligands, both large and small with potential for use in biotechnology and biological applications. We aim to explore the potential of engineering domain 11 as synthetic lectin by initially creating a chimeric scaffold that swaps in the binding loops from a related, non-isolable domain then using an interdisciplinary range of molecular selection techniques (yeast surface display, NMR, X-ray and site directed mutagenesis) to evolve this binding site to bind mannose-6-P. If successful this may unlock the true potential of these domains as the basis for binding other carbohydrates, phosphodiesters and potentially any ligands of choice.

7:00 PM ET, February 27, 2011
Smoothie King Center, New Orleans, LA
NEW ORLEANS -- No one has been able to stop Kevin Martin lately, which is a big reason why the Houston Rockets have won four straight.
Martin scored 33 points, his third straight game with 30 or more, and the Houston Rockets overcame a 16-point, second-half deficit to beat the New Orleans Hornets 91-89 on Sunday night.
"Kevin was the player of the game," said Houston guard Kyle Lowry, who added 18 points. "He saved us."
Martin made four 3-pointers and hit all 13 of his free throws, including two foul shots with 18.4 seconds left to give Houston a 90-87 lead.
On the Hornets' next possession, Willie Green's attempted 3-pointer to tie rimmed out and Courtney Lee secured the rebound with 5 seconds left, then made one free throw to essentially secure the victory.
Martin was 8 of 15 from the field, picking his moments from outside and driving to the rim when Hornets starting center Emeka Okafor was on the bench.
"I was just being aggressive, knowing I could attack the basket when Okafor was out of the game," Martin said. "There was just a good matchup for me."
New Orleans, meanwhile, finished with 34 points in the second half after building a commanding 55-40 halftime lead.
"To have that kind of lead on your home floor and not be able to close it out is disheartening," Hornets coach Monty Williams said. "Thirty-four second-half points is nonsense. We didn't run our offensive sets hard. We walked the ball up and looked like an old team. That team played last night. We should have been the aggressor. We got enough defensive stops, but we didn't run an efficient offense tonight."
David West had 20 points and Chris Paul had 12 assists for New Orleans, which lost for the first time in three games since the All-Star break. Paul shot 2 of 12, finishing with only six points.
"I couldn't make a shot," Paul said. "I've got to do my part. My college coaches would say, 'It's a team game played by individuals.' I lost my matchup tonight."
Houston made 11 3-pointers, including four by Lowry.
Chuck Hayes grabbed 11 rebounds for Houston, including six on the offensive end. The Rockets had 13 offensive rebounds and 16 second-chance points.
Hayes also provided clutch offense when he scored as he was fouled to put Houston up 88-85 with 2:08 left.
West pulled the Hornets to 88-87, and New Orleans had two chances to regain the lead, but Green was unable to handle a pass from West and Trevor Ariza's go-ahead 3-point attempt missed the rim.
"For us to be down [by 16] and fight and claw our way back -- it just shows the growth of this team and how good we can be and how dangerous we can be," Hayes said.
Down 58-42 early in the third quarter, Houston trimmed its deficit to 10 by the end of the period, then surged ahead with a 14-2 run highlighted by four 3s, two by Martin and one each by Lowry and Lee.
Brad Miller's jumper capped the surge, giving Houston an 80-78 lead with 6:58 to go and setting up a tense finish to a game that had 10 lead changes and nine ties.
"We just kept grinding and made some shots and did a great job down the stretch," Houston coach Rick Adelman said. "We just started playing with a lot more resolve. The first half, we were frantic on offense. We were rushing things. It kind of opened up the game for [the Hornets]."
The victory pulled the Rockets (30-31) within three games of Memphis for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference.
The Hornets outshot Houston, 47.4 percent to 41.9 percent, but New Orleans was 4 of 13 from 3-point range and was outrebounded 41-37.
Marco Belinelli had 14 points for the Hornets and former Rockets Ariza and Carl Landry each scored 13 points for New Orleans, while Green added 10. Okafor grabbed 14 rebounds.
The Rockets got to the arena behind schedule because their downtown hotel was on a Mardi Gras parade route and they had no police escort. Their first bus needed an hour to make what is normally a 10-minute drive, while the second bus, which left the hotel a little later, needed about 45 minutes.
That had little effect on Martin, who'd scored 30 in each of his previous two games and continued his torrid pace, scoring 10 points in the first eight minutes and 15 in the first half.
But after Martin's three free throws gave Houston a 33-31 lead, New Orleans surged ahead with an 18-0 run that included a streak of eight made field goals and solid defense highlighted by blocks by Okafor, Quincy Pondexter and Ariza.
Belinelli scored eight during the surge, hitting two 3s. West, who had 14 points in the first half, had six points during the run, which made it 49-33.
Game notes
The Hornets fell to 1-11 when an opponent hits 10 or more 3-pointers. ... Paul was called for a technical foul by official Dick Bavetta for arguing a non-call. West immediately claimed Paul in fact was trying to call an offensive play, but Bavetta shot back: "I know what he said!" ... Houston G Goran Dragic sat out with flulike symptoms. ... The Hornets will play their next five games on the road and won't play in New Orleans again until Ash Wednesday, March 9, the day after the Mardi Gras parade season ends.

Association plans to approach Defence and BHEL too
The micro units in Coimbatore, which operate out of one or two room sheds here, are approaching the public sector units seeking priority to them in the raw material and component purchases.
President of Coimbatore and Tirupur District Micro and Cottage Entrepreneurs' Association S. Ravikumar said that the railways is making some purchases from the small and micro enterprises. The association plans to approach the Defence and BHEL too for priority to the micro sector in the procurement.
The Union Government's procurement policy says that from 2015 it is mandatory for the Central Government ministries, departments and public sector undertakings to have 20 per cent of the annual value of goods from micro and small enterprises. The small-scale industries will have better infrastructure compared to the micro enterprises.
Hence, they will be able to supply according to the requirements of the Government procuring agencies. The micro units should be allocated specific quantity. Most of the micro units now take up job works for small, medium or large-scale industries. If they get direct orders from the Government departments and public sector units, they will be able to improve their operations. The association will appeal to the Union Government to specify a quantity for micro units in the procurement policy, he said. R. Ramachandran, president of Coimbatore District Small Industries' Association, said that the public sector units were yet to implement the procurement policy.
"We have given representations to the Government. Even when the units approach the departments or the government-run companies, they do not get priority now," he said.
The micro, small and medium-scale enterprises (MSMEs) require the support of the Government and direct orders (apart from the job work they do for bigger firms) to improve their operations.
The slowdown in orders from private companies during the last few weeks has hit the MSMEs, he said.

Crystal blue sky and steady wind equal an ideal day to go fly a kite. Kite lovers could not have asked for a more perfect day for the Third Annual Kite Flying Festival. Founder Mike Agner said, "These are perfect conditions, after the first two years it didn't quite come out, but this is perfect, couldn't have asked for anything better."
Debbie Zach drove down from Pennsylvania to fly her kites. "This year was just unbelievable, you know it's November 2nd and we are in short sleeves and look at what is in the air."
That is just what stole the show. Larger than life kites, hovering in the sky, and of course all the people on he beach looking up in awe. "I like the colors and it's amazing," said 7-year-old Samantha Johnson. Ten-year-old Elizabeth Sweyer said, "Yea, I like the dog one over there."
It was hard to pick a favorite. Debbie Zach said when you are in to flying kites, it is all about the season's hottest item. Her new favorite is the nearly 100-foot coddlefish kite, and agreed today was the perfect day to hoist it up. "So when you get perfect wind, to get large pieces up, you got to take advantage of it."
For spectators, it looked like the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade landed right here in Wrightsville Beach.
Kite Flyer Dave Gomberg of Oregon said, "Everybody relates to flying kites as a kid, and that youthful joy, energy and enthusiasm. and a lot of people are trying to rekindle that they are just flying a little bit bigger kites than they did as a kid."
No contest here, smiles for miles, and kites that took over the Wilmington sky.

We are happy to report that Rob's plan to reconnect with Kristen for a playdate with his dogs worked! HollywoodLife.com has all the EXCLUSIVE details on our favorite 'Twilight' stars' secret rendezvous that lasted for hours.
Robert Pattinson, 27, and Kristen Stewart, 23, were spotted together outside of Rob's gated Beverly Hills community on Oct. 30. Even though they were photographed in separate cars, the cute twosome had just spent a romantic afternoon together with their two fuzzy friends, Bear and Bernie.
Kristen Stewart & Robert Pattinson's Secret Date — Playdate With Dogs
On Oct. 30, Rob and Kristen were photographed driving out of Rob's upscale community, Rob in his white Jeep and Kristen in her pickup truck. They had just spent nearly four hours together and bonded over their favorite furry buddies, Bear and Bernie.
"It was Rob who made the first move and finally reached out to Kristen. They spent time at Rob's house yesterday [Oct. 30] after going on a hike with the dogs," a friend of Kristen's tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY.
"Rob is leaving for Morocco sometime after Thanksgiving and wants to spend as much time as possible with Kristen before he leaves. She may even end up taking care of Bear and Bernie when he's filming," reveals the insider. "They are obviously keeping a very low profile."
Rob's next film, Queen of the Desert, co-starring Nicole Kidman, 46, is set to begin production in Morocco in December. Maybe Kristen will make a surprise holiday visit!
Are Robert Pattinson & Kristen Stewart Back Together For Good?
We certainly hope that Rob and Kristen can move past their old problems and start fresh.
As HollywoodLife.com previously reported, Kristen has always believed that what she and Rob shared was a one-of-a-kind love that can never be replaced.
What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers? Are you thrilled that Rob's plan to reunite with Kristen worked? Do YOU think Rob and Kristen are soulmates? Let us know.
WATCH: Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson Spotted Together Again!

It's all guess work and people are already getting carried away.
THEY ARE BOTH ACTORS, THEY SHARE THE SAME FRIENDS AND MIVE IN THE SAME CIRCLES. They can't avoid each other forever without a lot of stress.
SO, I think they do still love each other (you can't switch that off like a tap) but are just being close friends, enjoying each other's company etc.
BROJEN TRUST TAKES TIME TO HEAL. I think they are concentrating on re-building a friendship.
Time will tell if it becomes more again.
Being hounded is NOT HELPING!

If this is true they would not have been together for any other reason except to see each other. I think Kristen loves him like crazy and I think he loves her and misses her something awful. They shared at least four years together and for most of that time they never left each other's side. Some people can live a life time and never have what they had in their time together. I wish them well.

Not much to say or are you all shocked? Two people who have dated for three years and have broken up for five months don't get together to see the dogs nor do they get together for what some say "a hook up." They are trying to find a way to see each other. She was the first seen leaving his place but why not going in. This is a high security place and someone had to let her in. They know the press is every where and so someone in the community called the press and then like the vultures they are came swooping down on them. Why can't everyone just leave them alone. After all this time please try to give them a minute to straighten out their broken lives.

@Mary – The point about no pictures going in is interesting. I am betting that this is not the first time Kristen has been there this month. She just got caught this time. Interestingly part of the commentary is that Kristen pulled directly into Rob's garage. Who saw this? There are no actual pictures of Rob's house from Wednesday either. I would be fascinated to know what happened here on the paparazzi end. It would make me totally paranoid!

This is only my opinion. People are forgetting Rob once said that Kristen was the one who would help him with his insecurities and when he would get hysterical about something she would be the one to calm him down and figure out a fix. These two were at the age where they probably shared every secret they had. The two shared one important thing and that was neither of them would ever say a thing about the other. Something happened last year and things went terribly wrong. I said at one time that when he left her house with the dogs and all his junk it seemed so out of character for him especially knowing the press was around. Let's let them figure it out, no more dirty names, no more drunk remarks and no more putting our noses where they just don't belong.

Swami, Viren (2009) Body appreciation, media influence, and weight status predict consideration of cosmetic surgery among female undergraduates. Body Image, 6 (4). pp. 315-317. ISSN 1740-1445
Full text not available from this repository.
Official URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.bodyim.2009.07.001
The current study examined the association between consideration of cosmetic surgery, body appreciation, media influence, and participant demographics. In total, 322 female university students completed the Consider subscale of the Acceptance of Cosmetic Surgery Scale, the third revision of Sociocultural Attitudes Toward Appearance Scale (SATAQ-3), the Body Appreciation Scale (BAS), and provided their demographic details. Bivariate correlations showed that consideration of cosmetic surgery was significantly and positively correlated with three of the SATAQ-3 subscales and negatively correlated with BAS scores, age, and body mass index (BMI). A multiple regression showed that the only significant predictors of consideration of cosmetic surgery greater media influence, less body appreciation, and lower BMI. These results are discussed in relation to the extant literature on attitudes towards cosmetic surgery.

"Do not use this terrible piece of bloatware!"
There really isn't any good things to say about this product.
Slow. Slow. Slow. Very buggy!
Don't waste your time on this product. Several years ago it was very good alternative to IE. This version is so bad that I couldn't wait to get it off my PC. I was actually afraid it may have screwed something else up. It is so slow and so buggy that even Microsoft would be proud. Stay clear. This is bloatware at its finest!

BAKER, La (FOX44) — A third person has been arrested in conjunction with the 2011 murder case of Abelardo Pampo.
Kaitlin Brandon was arrested last night in Baton Rouge after a CrimeStoppers tip helped lead to her arrest.
Police tracked her movements from Houston to Baton Rouge. DNA evidence linked Brandon to the murder case.
Baker Police Chief Mike Knaps says who ever called in the tip did the city of Baker a great service.
"This is a very, very, hard-hearted person. A very crude person who has no care about life," stated Knaps. "She doesn't care about life at all, so it's a good thing she's behind bars."
Brandon, along with 2 others, is accused of murdering Pampo outside the Baker Civic Center after robbing him.

Where are Badlands? What are the bad lands?
In 2011 I started contemplating about the juxtaposition of younger Slovenian generation with peripheral landmarks where we spent our time away. Whenever I joined my friends I had my camera with me, documenting places which fascinated us, where we spent our time in the bad lands.
It appeared like a metaphor of long lost perspectives by younger people in Slovenia. I could simply see all the places that represent social injustice simply and name them badlands. But mainly in my project badlands are also all the places that youngsters appropriated to escape from their anxieties, fear of the future and madness of contemporary society.
Aljaž Celarc and Boštjan Uršič on the 6th of May 2012:
"We all are wasted, only some wonder more. We are hated as the deviated generation: Some of us would like to live at another time in the past. Some would like to live in the future. But yet we don't need much, just the opportunity to be recognized and live a decent life.
Meanwhile landscapes of the future are high and metaphorical. The society reminds each of us every day of it's determination that our existence is selfish. Because everyone's perception of weakened, we cannot identify our strengths. We are still looking for a chance to fail, while only changes are consistent....
It's been a while after the definition of aging has changed: Aging has become a process of mental preparation of our own end. At 23 I am among the oldest people alive..."
