Splash Mountain Magic Kingdom - Frontierland
Splash Mountain Facts:
Date Opened: October 2, 1992.
Ride Length = 11 minutes
During the design phase, Splash Mountain was named Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah River
Some of the animatronics used in Splash Mountain were taken from the old
"America Sings" attraction at Disneyland. The Splash
Mountain attraction is based upon the stories of "Brer Rabbit, Tar Baby, and
Uncle Remus." Disney imagineers like to
incorporate part of themselves in the attractions they create. A imagineer
who helped create SPLASH MOUNTAIN is no exception. Just before the Big Drop
a little squirrel pops out from the ceiling and in a high pitched voice says
"F-S-U" , which stands for Florida State University. The school where the
imagineer graduated. According to the Keys to the
Kingdom tour there are a total of 67 hidden Mickeys on the Splash Mountain
ride. Splash Mountain Hidden Mickeys: Just
before the big drop is a side view of Mickey.
Splash Mountain Guest Policies: For safety, you should be in good health and free from high blood
pressure, heart, back or neck problems, motion sickness or other conditions
that could be aggravated by this adventure. Expectant mothers should not ride. Due to the nature of the experience, service animals are not permitted
on this attraction. Guests must transfer from their wheelchair, motorized scooter or ECV to
board the ride vehicle. Disney's FASTPASS service, a reservation system that reduces time spent
in line, is available for
this attraction. Guests with young children may take turns experiencing attractions. See
a Cast Member for additional information.

Yvonne this year ...
I'm quite pleased with the progress on these plants, especially since they were planted out so late - mid-August at about 5" tall. In a little more than 2 weeks, they've grown almost 10"! Not as tall as previous years, and they may not get that big in the time left, but there are flowers stalks coming up all over!
Beautiful! I'm glad you've got those gorgeous red blooms to enjoy. Mine grew to 6-7" and stopped. Even the ones I planted in full sun back in May-June haven't grown any taller or produced a single bloom. I won't waste time or energy on them next year.
I haven't had success with YS this year. As a matter of fact, I was looking at them today and wondering what happened. They are only about 2 feet tall, and just starting to put out blooms. In our zone, that won't be enough time to set seed so I'll be on the lookout for seed again, after having enough to share the last few years. My purple rain was great, and my Texas Red are doing better then in former years in their new location - part shade. We had such a dry summer and I have been paying more attention to my veggies. which have been very good. Guess you can't have it all!!
My Yvonne's salvia didn't do much this year, either. Usually they're about 4' tall (same as my chain link fence), but this year they're only about 3'.
Both Yvonne and Emily used high-test ferts to get those 6 footers. Since I try to keep my garden pretty organic, I don't use those strong chemicals. Major difference in the growth.
Hi, Mary! 10 years have passed already - that year was my first year to WS! You know, since I moved everything in and out when Irene was hanging around, the terrace really looks nice! And my 4'oclocks are blooming! All red this year, so far - nice with the salvia.
Lisa! You will not believe - my plants were doing very well until I started noticing that the tips kept breaking. I'd go out and find them bent almost daily. The stems looked bruised. I could never figure out what was going on, since I didn't see any birds sitting on them or anything. I gave up this past week, since they were practically down to the soil level. SO they've gone to KMOTGG heaven. There is some force in the plant world that is determined to keep me from having this plant.
On a good note - I did give some away and they are doing quite well for their owners, getting ready to bloom. Except one guy. Somthing ate/carted away his plants by the morning after he planted them.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Coach Dawn Staley knew she wanted the ball in the hands of either Tiffany Mitchell or Aleighsa Welch and took a timeout to set up the play.
No. 10 South Carolina edge No. 16 Vanderbilt 61-57
Mitchell finished to perfection, scoring on a driving layup with 50.9 seconds left to lift No. 10 South Carolina to a 61-57 win over 16th-ranked Vanderbilt on Sunday for the Gamecocks' best start ever in the Southeastern Conference.
"I thought both of them came through at a time when we needed a bucket," Staley said. "They made me look good."
The Gamecocks (18-2, 6-1 SEC) had never started 6-1 since joining the conference and won their second straight by keeping Staley undefeated in her third trip to Memorial Gym.
With the score tied at 55, Mitchell beat the shot clock and then stole the ball and finished off the fast break with another layup with 34.3 seconds to seal the win. Mitchell finished with 14 points. Welch and Elem Ibiam each added 10.
Vanderbilt (16-4, 5-2) saw its four-game winning streak end as the Commodores missed out on their fourth upset of a ranked team this season.
"Obviously, Tiffany Mitchell is very, very good, and she made those plays," Vanderbilt coach Melanie Balcomb said. "There was a couple situations where the shot clock was running down we don't get that loose ball. Instead they get to make a play. We get the loose ball in the first place ... that doesn't happen. ... That's like a knife in your heart when you don't."
Christina Foggie finished with 23 points for Vanderbilt.
South Carolina outshot the SEC's best shooting team, holding Vanderbilt to 37.3 percent (22 of 59) and a season-low in points. The Gamecocks hit 54 percent (27 of 50) to overcome a season-high 24 turnovers. The Gamecocks did it despite not hitting a 3-pointer, instead using their height advantage in outscoring Vandy 46-32 in the paint.
The Gamecocks also held the SEC's best 3-point shooting team to its worst performance this season. Vanderbilt went 1 of 5 outside the arc.

Paved paradise and put in a hosta lot
This summer I had my usual run in with weeds in this area that I just could not always get to. I would pull out the potted hostas just to rip the pots from the ground. Weed Wack, replace, repeat. Weeds growing in my pots. My friend miscalculated, I inherited and I tiled the area. It worked great. Now I can move the plants easily and the weeds were cut way down. Have a great grow day, Paula
Hi Paula....must have overlooked your canna lilies in this picture. Those look like what they call Bee's Tongues down in south Louisiana. I had some given me growing at MoccasinLanding but lost those when I sold the place. I love the exotic greenery.
I also have some aspidistra with nice strapping leaves, and they are striped white and green. As they mature, they turn whiter. Let's see if I can find a shot to include here for your benefit.
This shot has two different types, the small one is my latest addition and it already shows variegation, the other one is quite slow to turn striped, it had a lot more sun
and here is another which has both stripes and polka dots.
I get my variegated aspidistra from Plant Delights Nursery
I have some gifted to my by a dear friend, treasure them because she died 3 years ago now.

text: Cases for iDevices are like functional fashion accessories from past eras (hats, canes, dueling pistols, etc.). A case says you care enough to protect your investment, while allowing you to express your individual style. A heavy duty protective case might say, "I have trouble getting close to people, so I use a titanium robot of a case!" Seriously though, a bad posterior case could prove to be an ice breaker at a party, might get you out of a speeding ticket (never know?), or distract your mom from noticing you forgot to take out the trash yet again (definitely a long shot).

For the ISTC's YouTube Channel, Ellis Pratt (Cherryleaf) is interviewing a number of technical communicators.

Here is Brian Harris (Red Gate Software):
There'll be more interviews in the coming weeks.
We're planning to carry out a number of videoed interviews with a range of Technical Authors this week. This is to help promote the profession. We'll be asking questions such as what their role is inside their companies, and how they became a Technical Author.
The videos will be uploaded to the YouTube Channel for the Institute of Scientific and Technical Communicators, once we've edited and published them.
One of the most common questions we're asked is how to become a Technical Author. We have an ebook on becoming a Technical Author that addresses this in detail, but let's provide some general advice by looking at what you should consider when writing your CV.
It's quite difficult to know how many Technical Authors there are in the United Kingdom. The profession doesn't have its own Standard Occupational Classification code, so there are no official statistics.
We can estimate the number of Technical Authors in the IT sector. One way to do this is by looking at the total number people working in the IT and the percentage of permanent IT job vacancies that are advertising for a Technical Author.
Continue reading
One of the most common questions we get asked is for advice on becoming a freelance Technical Author. To help address that question in depth, we written an ebook, which you can purchase via the Cherryleaf website.
This guide answers the key questions people have when considering a freelance career as a Technical Author. It is focused on starting out as a freelance Technical Author in the United Kingdom, and in the IT and medical equipment sectors. However, many of the sections will also be applicable to other countries and other industry sectors.
Here are the slides on "Technical writing career paths in the UK":
Thanks to everyone who contributed.
The conversation in a meeting yesterday went somewhat "off-topic" when someone commented on the difference between accountants and pole dancers.
Their comparison might apply between Technical Authors and pole dancers, as well: that pole dancers probably do a boring job (i.e twirling around a pole day after day) that's seen as interesting, whereas Technical Authors (and accountants) do an interesting job that's often seen as boring.
So what can Technical Authors learn from pole dancers? WikiHow suggests a pole dancer's success is more to do their ability to gain rapport with the customer and keep their attention, than their dancing skills. This ability to "know" your customer and gain their attention, is perhaps a useful reminder to Technical Authors to do the same with their "performance" (that is, with the deliverables they produce).
What's in a name – at this week's Content Strategy Meetup, which unfortunately I missed due to illness, a number of the attendees and speakers came from the technical communications community. They were Technical Authors/Documentation Managers or had a background as a Technical Author.
So are Technical Authors and Content Strategists one and the same thing? Do they require the same skill set? Do they look at the same type of content? Is the only difference the salary levels?
What do you think?

Mystery Bulb
I recently went to Amsterdam and visited the flower market where I saw a bulb that was advertised as needing no water or soil. I bought one and sure enough it's growing, even though it's just sat on the table and I've done nothing to it.
The only thing is, I have no idea what it is! I've attached a picture, can anyone help me with this?
Sauromatum venosum?
Here is a link that might be useful: Sauromatum
Hi there,
I got one some years ago as a gift, and it really flowerd just after sitting there without any water& soil.
how sharp is your scent?
When I entered the room after the bulb had started flowering in the night it made me really gag and my first thought was were the cadaver might be hidden.
so, it`quite an experience, but I wouldn`t keep it in the living room.
Well then, have fun with it, bye, Lin

Daniel Defense fixed sights. Rear has some tool marks on the screw (pictured) otherwise they're like new. Cash price is $SOLD face to face. Paypal & shipping also available on buyer's dime. Easy way to save some money over new.
From the manufacturer: "Rugged, Reliable, Always-Deployed Relief Sighting
Lightweight, streamlined backup sights are built on the K.I.S.S. principle to ensure the tactical operator has a reliable, always-deployed sighting option if the main optic fails. One-piece design slides easily on a MIL-STD 1913 rail and clamps securely with a single machine screw. Rounded edges and recessed attachment screws resist snagging on other gear. A1.5 Rear Sight combines the windage adjustment drum of the original USGI A1 rear sight and a flip-up A2 aperture with large .190" peep for close range and .060" peep for long-range targeting. Compact profile doesnt hang over the rear of the receiver to interfere with the shooters access to the charging handle."

BROOKLYN — A lot has changed since Brooklyn last wore its home whites on Feb. 6. The Nets have played better basketball in their fight for an Eastern Conference playoff spot with the help of smaller, younger lineups, going a very respectable 3-5 on a vicious eight-game Western Conference road trip that ended with a big win in Dallas on Saturday night. "I'm excited to be home, but I'm also excited that we've played better, been more competitive," said Nets head
SH Blog: Dragic says he doesn't trust the Suns, Denver trying to move Lawson, Minnesota pursuing trade for Garnett
With the NBA trade deadline quickly approaching – Thursday, to be exact – teams around the league are scrambling to see what changes they can make to improve their rosters for now and/or the future. Goran Dragic, of course, has been dominating the conversation since it was reported on Tuesday that he wants out of Phoenix. The team has agreed to meet his wishes, and although the point guard has a wishlist in terms of where he wants to end up
SH Blog: Stephenson to Brooklyn Talks Heat Up, Jennings Out for Year
In yet another drama-filled week in the NBA, Lance Stephenson has managed to find his way into the mix again. There have been plenty of talks regarding the Charlotte Hornets swingman's future in recent weeks, most notably ending in his being dealt before the trade deadline. The Hornets have been playing much better basketball as of late, but it's the opposite side of the coin for the Brooklyn Nets, who have lost eight of their last 10 games and have dropped
Poll: Nets fans are not happy with owner Mikhail Prokhorov
It's been in the news before, but Bloomberg News' report on Tuesday that Brooklyn Nets majority owner Mikhail Prokhorov is looking to sell his 80 percent stake in the team sent shockwaves through the basketball and business world. So we decided to ask real Brooklyn Nets fans what they thought about the ownership situation. The simple question: Do you care about who owns the Brooklyn Nets? SheridanHoops polled 50 random Brooklyn Nets fans about the team's current ownership situation at the Barclays Center before
Sprung: Deron Williams accepts Nets bench role, for now
Nets point guard Deron Williams is being paid $19,754,465 this season. That's just over $240,908 a game and $60,227 a quarter. After a strong start to the season, Williams had a bad December hindered by a calf injury and was supplanted in the starting lineup by Jarrett Jack. Jack has thrived in his new role as a starter for Brooklyn, which has won four of five. With head coach Lionel Hollins all but saying that Jack will be the starter for the forseeable future, Williams
Forget Brook Lopez: Nets need to stick with Mason Plumlee as starter
The league is beginning to recognize what kind of player the Brooklyn Nets have in Mason Plumlee, and the team is starting to realize it as well. After starting the last seven games at center, Brooklyn finally has a healthy, young core foundation piece for the present and future. Brooklyn was reportedly not enthused with a recent trade offer from Sacramento for point guard Deron Williams. It turns out, according to ESPN, that the Kings' main target was Plumlee, not Williams. The Nets are reportedly unwilling

Diabetic Eye Screenings in North Bergen
People who have diabetes know just how important it is that they constantly monitor their symptoms and their overall health. Living with diabetes requires a lot of upkeep and also requires plenty of doctor's visits and checkups in order to make sure that everything is as it should be. Here at Sunrise Optical, our diabetic eye doctor can provide you with the North Bergen eye testing that you need in order to stay on top of your eye health while living with diabetes.
Eye health is important, no matter who you are or what conditions you happen to have, but people who have diabetes are at a much greater risk for developing eye diseases than other people are. People who have diabetes are also at an added risk as well. Diabetes patients are at risk for developing eye diseases that are specific to diabetes, including such conditions as diabetic retinopathy. Additionally, patients who have this circulatory disorder are more likely to develop cataracts at an earlier age or contract glaucoma. This is why comprehensive diabetic eye care is so important. Here at Sunrise Optical, you can get the complete North Bergen eye testing that you need to stay healthy and informed. If you have any kind of eye disease, our eye doctor here at Sunrise Optical, Dr. David Iosebashvili, can help you monitor your symptoms from visit to visit and can provide the treatment required as needed. People who have diabetes should make sure to schedule more frequent visits with their eye doctor, as they will significantly help catch any presence of eye disease or complication as early on as possible. A thorough eye exam can even detect whether a patient has diabetes or not, as well.
Taking care of yourself is important, especially if you have a condition such as diabetes that requires constant monitoring and complete care. Here at Sunrise Optical, our eye doctor can provide all patients with North Bergen eye testing, especially for those who need comprehensive diabetic eye care. If you are looking to set up an appointment or you simply want to learn more, then call us today.

The inspiration for RAD Soap came from my search for a natural remedy to help alleviate the symptoms of my son's eczema. Following months of exhaustive and unsuccessful searches at local stores for a natural soap for my family, I took matters into my own hands and began making my own all-natural soaps. It wasn't long after using the handmade soaps created in my kitchen sink that my son's eczema cleared up and my friends and family began encouraging me to sell the soaps to the public.
I set up shop at the local farmers market in Nyack, New York and my first customer bought a bar of soap.… Read More

Reset your business now
"Success can distract us from focusing on the essential things that produce success in the first place."
Greg Mckeown - Essentialism
Reset Conference
We just returned from teaching as the keynote speakers of the Reset Conference in Champaign, IL and it was an awesome time hanging with the sold-out crowd of 150 photographers that attended.
Being at a conference with the name "Reset" reminded us of something really key. All these photographers were coming to step back and take a look at what they were REALLY doing in their business, and reset if they needed to. All of us want to get on track and get successful, but we learned to navigate what we all want more than anything, success, with a little caution.
One of the worst things that can happen in your brand is to get successful. Because when that happens, you now have tons of great opportunities coming at you and it becomes hard to say YES to what TRULY matters.
Speaking with our son in tow
Here we were taking 2.5 days to travel, teach, leave our home and our business for the weekend and bring our son along. And you know what? It was really easy and fun!
The reason for that is that we have already "reset" our business and started many years ago to focus on what truly matters most, and not allow lots of opportunity to distract us from our purpose. We have created a business that has margin, so our lives can have the space we need to do things like this and bring our son along for the ride.
How We Made a business with margin
The simple answer to living a life that has margin, is 3 parts:
1. Focus
If we focus on what we should be doing and take our focus OFF of what we should not be doing, we get a clear vision for where we need to go and life gets a lot more simple.
2. Intensity
Dave Ramsey says that we must be intensely focused on our goals in order to make them into a reality faster. We are hyper focused these days on doing ONLY what matters most.
3. Time
You need quality time spent focused with intensity on what is truly essential to your brand, and when you spend that time MAKING your business behave, it creates what we all dream of, margin.
Margin allows us to bring our son with us to a gig and not feel overwhelmed. Margin allows us to take the morning off and re-connect with each other if we need to. Margin allows us to feel free during our daily working routine and not tied to the million to-do's we have to get done.
You need margin in your life to create the freedom you need to live, and that comes with focused intensity. (Tweet this out!)
Have an amazing day!
PS. If you need margin, then be sure to sign up for something we are creating that will give you margin and is going to help give you your life back. Sign up HERE for more info!
…and the point is??
Have you ever asked yourself the question, "What in the world am I doing here and why am I doing this?"
"There are far more activities and opportunities in the world than we have time and resources to invest in. And although many of them may be good, or even very good, the fact is that most are trivial and few are vital."
-Greg Mckeown, Essentialism
What am I focused on?
As I (Zach) was on a four hour flight from Nashville to Las Vagas for WPPI two weeks ago, I was reading Essentialism by Greg Mckeown. In his book he asks, "What is your highest point of contribution?" … In essence he's asking, "What is the one thing that actually matters more in your life and business?"
When I took a moment to answer this question something very interesting happened to me…
I had no answer.
I sat for about 30 minutes pondering what my highest point of contribution was in our business. Still, I didn't know what it was.
Jody and I were headed out to the biggest wedding and portrait convention in the USA to teach, speak, lead workshops and connect with the people and companies that we work with, and this question kept nagging me…
WHY are we here and WHAT are we doing this for?
Do you ever find yourself asking that question?
Spread too thin
Oftentimes our lives are so busy just trying to stay afloat with our shoots, clients, spouse, kids, grocery runs, managing the books, cleaning, and just LIFE that it's hard to have time to focus on what's really important.
Sometimes we don't even know what actually IS important.
Wouldn't it be great if you could have someone, or something take care of all the meaningless tasks that distract you from your main contribution – from what's most important?
This is exactly why we have spent the last year developing a software for wedding photographers that will take care of your business so you can do what you are most excited about; so you can focus on your highest point of contribution.
We created Shootflow so we could get back to what matters most. What matters most to me is my family.
What is your highest point of contribution?
Share with us in the comments the one thing that is the most important to you in your business and in your life. We'd love to hear from you.
PS. Interested in Shootflow? Click here to sign up and be one of the first to find out more!
Did you miss the big announcement?
Are you a wedding photographer looking to get your life back?
Instead of trying to figure out the best system to keep your clients happy, organized, and energized to tell all their friends about you, wouldn't it be awesome to just HAVE the perfect system?
This is exactly what we have been working on, just for you.
For more information you can sign up HERE.

The Biggest Pain You Face as a Photographer
What it Really takes to Succeed
PS. Shootflow will go into Beta soon, and we are only taking a very limited amount of sign-ups when it launches, so if you want it, sign up now!
When to say "adios" to your day job
One of the most common questions we get asked from photographers is, "When is it a smart decision to quit my day job?" If you're in that position, we want to help guide you through that tough decision to make!
It was 8 years ago that we decided to pursue photography as a career. At that point in our lives, Zach worked for a company that photographed and produced images for grade-school yearbooks, and Jody worked in international sales and marketing for a record label. We learned learned a lot over the years about how to keep our business functioning day in and day out and one of the hardest decisions we had to make early on in our business was quitting our day jobs.
The struggle came when we were gaining huge momentum and found ourselves in the middle of shooting 30+ weddings our 2nd year into business and we both were working crazy hard. Zach had quit his job 10 months prior but Jody was working 80-90 hour weeks between her day job and photography. We had a come-to-Jesus-meeting about how much time we were spending business building vs. marriage building (business building was WAY significantly more) and sat down and decided that WE were going to take control of our future.
We sought the advice of a few different counselors including the brilliant financial mind of Dave Ramsey. We wrote out our plan, did what was right based on our marriage relationship, and what we needed instead of what we feared (losing our "security" of the day jobs) and moved forward. We ended the year with a bang and our business continued to thrive and grow each year after.
So how did we practically make the leap? What were the steps we took?
PS. Next week, we're going to share a brand-new video series on the secrets to running a successful photography business. As a subscriber, you'll get it for free. But if you want to share this with a friend, please click this link to tweet it: http://ctt.ec/4wVa4.

The decision comes just days after the 25-year-old made worldwide headlines by shaving off all her hair at a salon in Tarzana, California.
The star's manager, Larry Rudolph, confirmed to Us Weekly magazine she is seeking professional help, saying, "Britney Spears has voluntarily checked herself into an undisclosed rehab facility. We ask that the media respect her privacy as well as those of her family and friends at this time."
The "Toxic" star was spotted having dinner with her father, Jamie Spears, on Sunday, who reportedly pleaded with his daughter to get her life back on track.
A source says, "Jamie just told Britney how much he loves her and that he wants her to get help. He told her that he's afraid for her safety and that she needs to take a look at her life and make some major changes."
Spears' father, who has also been through rehab, was reportedly with her when she checked into the Promises Treatment Center in Malibu, California.
Other stars who have been treated at the clinic include Diana Ross, Tim Allen, Christian Slater, Jason Priestley, Matthew Perry and Ben Affleck.
On Feb. 15, the 25-year-old mother of two checked into Antigua's Crossroads Centre, a rehab facility founded by musician Eric Clapton, but checked out less than 24 hours later.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Steroids comprise a group of cyclical organic compounds whose basis is a characteristic arrangement of seventeen carbon atoms in a four-ring structure linked together from three 6-carbon rings followed by a 5-carbon ring and an eight-carbon side chain on carbon 17 (illustration on right). These rings are synthesized by biochemical processes from cyclization of a thirty-carbon chain, squalene, into lanosterol or cycloartenol. Hundreds of distinct steroids are found in animals, fungi, plants, and elsewhere and many steroids are necessary to life at all levels. They include cholesterol, the sex hormones estradiol and testosterone,[1]:10–19 bile acids, and drugs such as the anti-inflammatory agent dexamethasone.[2]The three cyclohexane rings are designated as rings A, B and C in the figure to the right and the one cyclopentane ring as ring D. Individual steroids vary, first and primarily, by the oxidation state of the carbon atoms in the rings and by the chains and functional groups attached to this four-ring system; second, steroids can vary more markedly via changes to the ring structure (e.g., via ring scissions that produce secosteroids like vitamin D3, see below). Sterols are a particularly important form of steroids, with sterols having a cholestane-derived framework and an hydroxyl group at the C-3 ring position being the most prominent (e.g., as in cholesterol, shown at right).[3]
As IUPAC guidance notes (and is explained more fully following the quote),
"Steroids are compounds possessing the skeleton of cyclopenta[a]phenanthrene or a skeleton derived therefrom by one or more bond scissions or ring expansions or contractions. Methyl groups are normally present at C-10 and C-13. An alkyl side chain may also be present at C-17. Sterols are steroids carrying a hydroxyl group at C-3 and most of the skeleton of cholestane. Additional carbon atoms may be present in the side chain."[4]:1785
Gonane is the simplest possible steroid and is composed of seventeen carbon atoms in carbon-carbon bonds that form four fused rings in a defined three-dimensional shape. The three cyclohexane rings (designated as rings A, B, and C in the figures above form the skeleton of a perhydro- derivative of phenanthrene. The D-ring has a cyclopentane structure; hence, though it is uncommon, per IUPAC steroids can also be named as various hydro-derivatives of cyclopenta[a]phenanthrene.[5] When the two methyl groups and 8 carbon side chain (at C-17, as shown for cholesterol) are present, the steroid is said to have a cholestane framework. The two common 5α and 5β stereoisomeric forms of steroids exist because of differences in the side of the largely planar ring system that the hydrogen (H) atom at carbon-5 is attached, which results in a change in steroid A-ring conformation.
The following are further important examples of steroid structures, in line-angle representation (see cholesterol image above, for explanation):
In addition to the ring scissions (cleavages), and expansions and contractions (cleavage and reclosing to a larger or smaller rings) noted in the IUPAC definition—all variations in the carbon-carbon bond framework—steroids can also vary:
For instance, sterols such as cholesterol and lanosterol have an hydroxyl group attached at position C-3, while testosterone and progesterone have a carbonyl (oxo substituent) at C-3; of these examples, lanosterol alone has two methyl groups at C-4, and cholesterol with a C-5 to C-6 double bond differs from testosterone and progesterone, which have a C-4 to C-5 double bond.
The following are some of the common categories of steroids. In eukaryotes, steroids are found in the fungi, animals, and plants. Fungal steroids include the ergosterols.
The animal steroids include compounds of vertebrate and insect origin, in the latter case including ecdysteroids such as ecdysterone, which is involved in the control of molting in some species. Vertebrate examples include the steroid hormones and cholesterol, the latter of which is a structural component of cell membranes that is involved in determining the fluidity of cell membranes and is a principal constituent of plaques implicated in atherosclerosis. The steroid hormones include:
Plant steroids include steroidal alkaloids found in Solanaceae,[citation needed] the phytosterols, and the brassinosteroids (which include several plant hormones).
In prokaryotes, biosynthetic pathways exist both for producing the tetracyclic steroid framework (e.g., in mycobacteria)[6] — where its origin from eukaryotes is conjectured[7] — as well as the more common pentacyclic triterpinoid hopanoid framework.[8]
|This section requires expansion. (July 2014)
It is also possible to classify steroids based upon their chemical composition. One example of how MeSH performs this classification is available at the Wikipedia MeSH catalog. Examples from this classification include:
|Number of carbon atoms
|cholic acid
The gonane (or steroid nucleus) is the parent (17-carbon tetracyclic) hydrocarbon molecule without any alkyl sidechains.[9]
Secosteroids (L. seco, "to cut") are a subclass of steroidal compounds resulting, biosynthetically or conceptually, via scission (cleavage) of parent steroid rings, generally one of the four. Major secosteroid subclasses are defined by the steroid carbon atoms where this scission has taken place. For instance, the prototypical secosteroid cholecalciferol, vitamin D3 (shown), is in the important 9,10-secosteroid subclass, derived via cleavage between carbon atoms C-9 and C-10 of the steroid B-ring (similarly 5,6-secosteroids, 13,14-steroids, etc.).[10]
Norsteroids (nor-, L. norma, from "normal" in chemistry, indicating carbon removal)[11] and homosteroids (homo-, Gk. homos for same, indicating carbon addition)[12] are two structural subclasses of steroids formed via biosynthetic or bench chemistry steps, in the former case involving enzymic ring expansion/contraction reactions, and in the latter accomplished similarly (biomimetically) or, more often, through ring closures of acyclic precursors with more or fewer ring atoms than in the parent steroid framework.[13][citation needed] These two classes represent further unique classes of steroids with important biological activities and societal impacts; the effect of these chemical operations on the ring structures is such that recognition of the parent tetracyclic ring system can be challenging.
Combinations of these ring alterations are also possible and are known in nature. For instance, ewes that graze on corn lily ingest cyclopamine (shown) and veratramine, two of a sub-family of steroids where the C- and D-rings are contracted and expanded, respectively, via a biosynthetic migration of the original C-13 atom. Ingestion of these C-nor-D-homosteroids result in birth defects in progeny lambs: cyclopia in the case of cyclopamine and leg deformity with veratramine.[14] A further C-nor-D-homosteroid, nakiterpiosin, is excreted by Okinawan cyanobacteriosponges, Terpios hoshinota, leading to coral mortality from black coral disease.[15] Nakiterpiosin-type steroids are active against the smoothened - hedgehog pathway that is hyperactive in various cancers; Merck chemists established that C-13 atom migration could be achieved by "bench chemistry", and thisbiomimetic synthesis allows medicinal chemistry to proceed on this steroidal anticancer hypothesis.[14]
Steroid and their metabolites are frequently used signalling molecules. The most notable examples are the steroid hormones.
Steroids along with phospholipids function as components of cell membranes. Steroids such as cholesterol decrease membrane fluidity.[16]
Similar to lipids, steroids represent highly concentrated energy stores. However, steroids are not typically used as sources of energy. In mammals, they are normally metabolized and excreted.
|This section requires expansion. (July 2014)
A number of drugs target the mevalonate pathway:
The hundreds of distinct steroids found in animals, fungi, and plants are made either from lanosterol (in animals and fungi, see examples above) or from cycloartenol (in plants). Both lanosterol and cycloartenol are derived via cyclization of the triterpenoid squalene.[17]
Steroid biosynthesis is an anabolic metabolic pathway that produces steroids from simple precursors. A unique biosynthetic pathway is followed in animals compared to many other organisms, making the pathway a common target for antibiotics and other anti-infective drugs. In addition, steroid metabolism in humans is the target of cholesterol-lowering drugs such as statins.
In humans and other animals, the biosynthesis of steroids follows the mevalonate pathway that uses acetyl-CoA as building-blocks to form dimethylallyl pyrophosphate (DMAPP) and isopentenyl pyrophosphate (IPP).[18][better source needed] In subsequent steps, DMAPP and IPP are joined to form geranyl pyrophosphate (GPP), which in turn is used to synthesize the steroid lanosterol. Further modifications of lanosterol into other steroids are classified steroidogenesis transformations.
The mevalonate pathway or HMG-CoA reductase pathway starts with acetyl-CoA and ends with dimethylallyl pyrophosphate (DMAPP) and isopentenyl pyrophosphate (IPP).
DMAPP and IPP in turn donate isoprene units, which are assembled and modified to form terpenes and isoprenoids,[19] which are a large class of lipids that include the carotenoids, and form the largest class of plant natural products.[20]
Here, the isoprene units are joined together to make squalene and then folded up and formed into a set of rings to make lanosterol.[21] Lanosterol can then be converted into other steroids such as cholesterol and ergosterol.[21][22][citation needed]
Steroidogenesis is the biological process by which steroids are generated from cholesterol and transformed into other steroids.[23] The pathways of steroidogenesis differ between different species – as an example the pathways of human steroidogenesis are shown in this figure below: Following is a list of the major classes of steroid hormones and some prominent members, with examples of major related functions:
Locations of human steroidogenesis:
Several key enzymes can be activated through DNA transcriptional regulation on activation of SREBP (sterol regulatory element-binding protein-1 and -2).[citation needed] This intracellular sensor detects low cholesterol levels and stimulates endogenous production by the HMG-CoA reductase pathway, as well as increasing lipoprotein uptake by up-regulating the LDL receptor.[citation needed] Regulation of this pathway is also achieved by controlling the rate of translation of the mRNA, degradation of reductase and phosphorylation.[citation needed]
In plants and bacteria, the non-mevalonate pathway uses pyruvate and glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate as substrates.[19][25]
Steroids are oxidized mainly by cytochrome P450 oxidase enzymes, such as CYP3A4. These reactions introduce oxygen into the steroid ring and allow the structure to be broken up by other enzymes, to form bile acids as final products.[26] These bile acids can then be eliminated through secretion from the liver in the bile.[27] The expression of this oxidase gene can be upregulated by the steroid sensor PXR when there is a high blood concentration of steroids.[28]
|This section requires expansion. (May 2014)
The isolation of steroids refers, depending on context, either to the isolation of the considerable quantities of pure chemical matter required for chemical structure elucidation, derivitzation/degradation chemistry, biological testing, and other research needs (generally milligrams to grams, but historically, often more),[29] or to the isolation of "analytical quantities" of the substance of interest, where the focus is on identification and quantitation of the substance (e.g., in biological tissue or fluid), and where the amount isolated depends on the analytical method applied (but is generally always sub-microgram in scale).[30][page needed] The methods of isolation applied toward achieving these two distinct scales of product are likewise distinct, but generally involve extraction, precipitation, adsorptions, chromatography, and sometimes crystallizations. In both cases, the isolated substance is purified to chemical homogeneity, i.e., specific combined separation and analytical methods such as LC-MS methods are chosen to be "orthogonal"—achieving their separations based on distinct modes of interaction between substance and isolating matrix—with the goal being detection of only a single species present in the purportedly pure sample. The expression structure determination refers to methods that are applied to determine the chemical structure of an isolated, pure steroid, a process that involves an array of chemical and physical methods that have changed markedly over the history of steroid research, but that have included NMR and small molecule crystallography.[1]:10–19 Methods of analysis include samplings of both of these prior areas, but especially analytical methods aimed at determining if a steroid is present in an analytical mixture, and determining its quantity in that medium.[30]
|This section requires expansion. (March 2014)
Phytosterols, for instance, mixtures of soybean sterols, can be used as starting materials and converted into two kinds of steroid hormone intermediates through microbial transformation.[citation needed] Microbial catabolism of phytosterol sidechains yields either C-19 steroids, a precursor to most steroid hormones including sex hormones, or C-22 steroids, a precursor to adrenocortical hormones.[31][32]
|This section requires expansion. (March 2014)
The chemical conversion of sapogenins to steroids—e.g., via the Marker degradation—is a method of partial synthesis that is a long-established alternative to microbial transformation of phytosterols to steroids, and underpinned Syntex efforts using the Mexican barbasco trade (harvesting and marketing large tubers of wild-growing plants, e.g., yams) to produce early synthetic steroids.[citation needed]
A number of Nobel Prizes have been awarded for research involving steroids. These prizes include:

NO! this shoot is terrible, her face and eyes are dead, and that open mouth thing she does in ALL her photos is not sexy nor cute
But bless her heart because she tries hard!
First off, she is gorgeous…but I just am unable to take her seriously as far as a business (of fashion) woman. She comes from wealth, yet even her "higher-end" looks come off "cheap" looking & contrived (forced). Nonetheless, she is beautiful & successful. More power to her!
She is pretty but i don't get fashion from her.
theres something weird about her nose on the last pic…
I could never take her seriously, I don't know why..but the pictures look nice.
Did she have work done, or its just really bad photoshop?
Horrible styling and make up. Whole shoot looks cheap and nasty.
Why is it that WHENEVER she "models" her mouth is always open and she has that repetitive blank stare? Girl im sleeping on this
