"Mapur - Fishing Heaven" Pulau Mapur by Wati
Pulau Mapur Travel Guide: 0 reviews and 1 photos
Mapur .....is a fishing Heaven!
My husband & I had been to Mapur twice. To get to Mapur, you have to take a ferry from Singapore to Tanjung Pinang. From there you have to hire a local boatman to bring you to Mapur. It takes around 3 hours to reach our fishing spots. We caught a lot of fishes and some monsters as well. During our recent trip, we went ahead of Mapur towards the South China Sea. I know it is pretty dangerous, cause you never know if there are pirates around but when you are with a local, there shouldn't be a problem. For some seasickeness person, you definately have to eat enough pills......but it was worth it!

Cellular organelles, examples of which are mitochondria, microsomes and chloroplasts, are bound in an active state on a substantially inert and insoluble support surface, examples of which are alkylated glass, kaolin, talc, silica, ferrites, alumina, and some alkyl substituted high molecular weight polymers. Binding between the support surface and the organelle is accomplished by adsorption of the isolated organelle onto the support surface. Immobilization in this manner does not affect the functional behavior of the organelle. These systems have utility for the synthesis of specific chemical substances.
1. Cellular organelles, from the group consisting of mitochondria, microsomes and chloroplasts, bound and immobilized in an active state on a substantially inert and insoluble solid substrate from the group consisting of glass, kaolin, talc, silica, ferrite, alumina and high molecular weight polymers.
2. Bound cellular organelles, as recited in claim 1, wherein said organelles are hydrophobically bound on said substrate.
3. Bound cellular organelles, as recited in claim 2, wherein said support includes a residue of an uncharged alkyl silane.
4. Bound cellular organelles, as recited in claim 2, wherein said support is in the form of beads in the range of 100 - 150 mesh.
5. Bound cellular organelles, as recited in claim 3, wherein said alkyl substituent of said silane includes from two to twenty-four carbon atoms.
6. Bound cellular organelles, as recited in claim 3, wherein said alkyl silane is of the general structure Rn SiX4-n where n = 1 to 3, X is a labile substituent selected from the group consisting of halogen and alkoxy, and R is hydrocarbon of 2 to 24 carbon atoms.
7. Bound cellular organelles, as recited in claim 1, wherein said organelles are mitochondria.

10. Bound cellular organelles, as recited in claim 2, wherein said support comprises porous silica beads.
11. A process for producing desired biological chemical substances by bringing reactive precursor chemical substances into contact with a bound organelle as recited in claim 1.
12. Method of binding sub-cellular organelles in an active state on an inert solid support comprising:
(a) isolating organelles selected from the group consisting of mitochondria, microsomes and chloroplasts and removing substantially all excess lipid therefrom;
(b) preparing an inert support from the group consisting of glass, kaolin, talc, silica, ferrite, alumina and high molecular weight polymers, by treating said surface with a hydrophobic coupling agent; and
(c) contacting said prepared inert solid support material with said organelle, free of excess lipid, and permitting said support material and said organelles to remain in contact until a significant amount of said organelles are bound and immobilized on said substrate.
13. Method as recited in claim 12, wherein said hydrophobic coupling agent is an alkylsilane of the general structure Rn SiX4-n where n = 1 to 3, X is selected from the group consisting of halogen and alkoxy, and R is hydrocarbon of 2 to 24 carbon atoms.
This invention pertains to biologically active cellular organelles bound on an inert substrate, to the method of producing such bound organelles, and to a method of producing desirable chemical substances using the bound organelles.
It is well known that enzymes, polypeptides of discrete composition, structure and topography, are effective in promoting or facilitating various chemical changes and transformations. The use of such materials in biologically mediated organic reactions has been recognized for centuries as a method of utility for the production of various foodstuffs and chemicals. Isolation of these enzymatic materials to permit them to be used more effectively has met with some success. However, the expense of isolation or synthetic preparation, the lability of typical enzymes and the difficulty in separating the enzyme from reaction media have until recent advances severely limited consideration of these systems for many commercial applications. Enzymes in the past few years have been immobilized on polymer and inorganic supports by several techniques including adsorption, inclusion, and covalent bonding. As described for example in U.S. Pat. No. 3,519,538 - Messing et al., the immobilized enzymes exhibit enhanced stability and may be employed in continuous packed columns or other types of chemical treatment equipment to promote specific chemical reactions.
In general, however, bound enzymes have been useful only in catabolic reactions, i.e. reactions in which complex materials are degraded into simpler ones. Moreover, many enzymes occur naturally as complexes either with other enzymes or membranes of distinct morphology. Very often these enzymes cannot be isolated from these complexes in an active form.
Biologically active cellular organelles, such as mitochondria and chloroplasts, are capable of generating reduced pyridine nucleotides and/or ATP intermediates in a variety of energy-requiring biological reactions. Mitochondria, microsomes and chloroplasts are characterized as membrane-bound cellular organelles because while they are enclosed by membranes, they are in fact constituents of and included within a variety of types of cells.
While conventional techniques are available for isolating these cellular organelles, the disposition of such materials in a form conducive to their use in chemical synthesis has not previously been achieved.
It is therefore a general object of the present invention to provide a method for producing biologically active cellular organelles bound to an inert solid support.
More specifically, it is an object of this invention to provide cellular organelles, such as chloroplasts, mitochondria and microsomes, in an active state on an inert support suitable for producing desired chemical substances in a continuous system.
These and other objects, which will be apparent in the course of the following description of this invention, are met by cellular organelles, examples of which are mitochondria, microsomes and chloroplasts, bound in an active state on a substantially inert and insoluble support, examples of which are alkylated glass, kaolin, talc, silica, ferrites, alumina, and some alkyl substituted high molecular weight polymers.
Bound cellular organelles may be produced as follows: An inert substrate, preferably of particle size 100-150 mesh, is preferably first treated with a hydrophobic coupling agent, such as an alkylsilane. The alkyl silane may be of the general structure Rn SiX4-n where n = 1 to 3, x is halogen, alkoxy or some other labile substituent, and R is hydrocarbon of 2 to 24 carbon atoms. The alkylsilane is reacted with the surface of the inert support. Subsequent contact of the support with the cellular organelles, isolated first in a conventional manner and preferably after substantially all free lipid has been removed therefrom, results in what is believed to be a largely hydrophobic interaction between the organelles and the support surface which permits the organelles to be retained on the support in biologically active form.
This invention may be better understood by reference to the following detailed description thereof, taken in conjunction with the appended claims and the figures, in which:
FIG. 1 is a scanning electron microphotograph, at a magnification of 1000x, of mitochondria (designated by reference letter A) bound on an alkylsilylated porous silica bead;
FIG. 2 is a sketch of apparatus used and referred to in Example I; and
FIG. 3 is a chart showing the course of the reaction described and referred to in Example I.
In producing these bound cellular organelles, the surface of the substantially inert and insoluble support may be treated with any of a variety of hydrophobic coupling agents. Particularly preferred are the alkylsilanes described above. Other coupling agents may be preferred for specific organelles. The organelles are prepared in the usual manner with special emphasis placed on the removal of excess lipid. When purified fractions of chloroplasts, microsomes or mitochondria are passed through packed beds of columns of alkylsilane treated inert support material, the organelles adhere to the solid phase. Based primarily on other known characteristics of the organelles and the cold lability of the bound organelles, the probable mechanism for the binding is that of hydrophobic interaction. Such an effect is described by Tanford in his work, "The Hydrophobic Effect" published by Wiley in 1973.
In general, the present invention provides a useful product and a method for producing that product. The bound organelles may be provided with a variety of reactive constituents to produce ATP, which in turn may be used in reactions analogous to those occurring in plants and animals to effect still other chemical reactions, particularly reactions involving the synthesis of complex molecules. Ultimately then such systems may be produced, for example, by using the present invention in a form in which biologically active cellular organelles are attached to the inner surface of glass tubes through which reactants in a fluid medium are passed. Exposure of such a system using chloroplasts to a light source such as the sun may result in the efficient utilization of light energy in the production of a complex product or some other energy-requiring intermediate product. Many reactions observed as natural biological phenomena may be utilized.
The invention has been substantially described in a publication by the inventors in the Journal of Biological Chemistry, published in November, 1975, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Following are several examples demonstrating the production of the product of the present invention using the method of the present invention and several additional examples demonstrating the use of the product of this invention in a process for the production of chemical substances. The production of these substances demonstrates the utility of the product of the present invention in the utilization of natural biological processes.
An adult male Spraque-Dawley rat was decapitated and then exsanguinated. A ventral incision was made and all lobes of the liver were removed and placed immediately into ice cold 0.25 M sucrose containing 0.4 mM Tris buffered to pH 7.4. The liver was cut into small sections with a pair of scissors. The solution was decanted to remove debris and loose blood cells and immediately replaced with fresh solution. The liver was then homogenized with a Potter-Elvejhem tissue grinder while maintaining a 0� - 5� C temperature. The suspension was centrifuged for 10 minutes at 800xg to remove debris. The supernatant was swabbed to remove floating lipid and retained. It was then centrifuged for five minutes at 9000g. The pellet, mitochondria substantially free of excess lipid, was retained and resuspended in about 5 mls of 0.25 M sucrose.
In this example octadecylsilylated porous silica beads with an average diameter of 220 - 230 microns, a surface area of 50 - 200 m2 /mg and an average pore size of 200 - 400 A were employed as the inert substrate for the bound organelle. The silylation was accomplished by stirring the beads into a freshly prepared solution of four weight percent octadecyltrichlorosilane in warm ethanol for 3 - 4 minutes. They were subsequently washed with ethanol, dried, washed with distilled water and dried. Final hydrocarbon content was 3.29%.
A charge of 0.35 gms of the treated beads was placed in a closed sample chamber. A Yellow Springs Instrument model 5331 Clarke type polarographic electrode covered with a 1 mil fluorinated ethylene-propylene copolymer film was inserted into the chamber. Measurements were made with the Yellow Springs Instrument's oxygen monitor. The total volume of the chamber up to the level of contact with the electrode was 0.6 ml. This apparatus design is shown in FIG. 2. Flow of solution to the apparatus was supplied by a syringe pump. Before reaching the apparatus, the solution passed through a heat exchanger of 7 ml volume packed with broken fritted glass--the packing was used to remove supersaturated air from solution. Both heat exchange and sample apparatus were maintained at 27.0� C. A 4 inch gum rubber tube connected the heat exchanger exit to the sample chamber inlet. Injections of mitochondria and reactants were made by piercing the rubber tubing with a 26 gauge needle.
A uniform flow of 0.25 M sucrose solution containing 5 mM potassium monobasic phosphate and 25 mM potassium chloride adjusted to pH 7.4 was established at 1.3 ml/minute. Approximately 0.4 ml of mitochondrial suspension was equilibrated at 27.0� C and then injected. In approximately 30 seconds a large drop in oxygen concentration was observed. The silica beads assumed a light yellow cast indicative of the mitochondria bound on the bead surface. After several minutes the oxygen concentration returned to a steady state. A simultaneous injection of ADP and α-ketoglutarate resulted in an increase in oxygen consumption to a maximum of 0.4 ml/min. Analysis of the effluent indicated presence of ATP demonstrating the net synthesis of ATP from ADP + Pi.* The course of the experiment is shown in FIG. 3.
Sample and apparatus preparation was similar to Example I. Sucrose-Pi solution containing a 5 mM α-ketoglutarate and 3 mM++ was used at a flow rate of 3.0 ml/min. Upon return to a steady state after mitochondrial addition 10 μl of 6:0 mM ADP was injected into the stream. An uptake of 0.26 μl of oxygen was observed after one minute. Total ATP synthesized, measured using firefly luminescence, was 0.06 μ moles, i.e. essentially all the ADP was converted to ATP. The P:O ratio was 0.66/2(0.011) = 2.7, essentially the same as the traditional value obtained for mitochondria in suspension.
Adhesion of mitochondria was demonstrated with a variety of lipophilic surfaces. In each case a yellow cast was observed on the beads after mitochondria were mixed with the porous silica beads. Optimum adhesion occurred when the hydrocarbon length was eight or greater.

Microsomes were prepared from rat liver following the procedure in Example I. The supernatant, after the 9000xg sedimentation of mitochondria, was recentrifuged at 24,000xg and the supernatant consisting of crude microsomes was retained. The apparatus contained porous silica beads treated with octadecyltriethoxysilane to yield a hydrocarbon content of 2.7%. Upon injection of the microsomal suspension, the beads assumed a pale pinkish cast. Analysis indicated 0.7% bound microsomes.
Active phosphorylating chloroplasts were isolated from spinach leaves by grinding 50 g of leaves in a precooled mortar with 100 ml of 0.35 M NaCl, 10 ml of 0.2 M Tris buffer at pH 8, and 50 g of cold sand. The slurry was squeezed through cheese cloth and centrifuged at 0� C for 1 minutes at 200xg. The supernatant was retained and centrifuged for 7 minutes at 1000xg. The supernatant was discarded and the pellet of chloroplasts resuspended in about 2 ml of 0.35 M NaCl. As described in Example 1 the chloroplasts were added to the alkylsilylated glass beads. The beads immediately assumed a green cast. Oxygen evolution was observed with the bound chloroplasts were exposed to intense light, indicating that the photosynthetic apparatus remained intact. No indication of any reduction an adhesion was observed over a temperature range of 0� - 30� C for a period of two weeks.

high school flute??? what is the difference between high school and regular flute playing
:cool3: i play 3 insrumtents, 4 if u count my voice. i play flute, violin, and acoustic guitar. i want to learn drums and saxaphone.:violin::woohoo::happydancer::band2::roc kband::band::1st:
I play the violin and piano.
With the piano I can play 'My Heart Will Go On' from the 'Titanic', Cannon in D major (to a point), and Chopsticks (but only the right hand).
And with the violin, if you give me the music for 1st violin, and give me about 2-6 days i would be able to play the whole song perfectly.
I can play alot of things lol XD But the main instruments I play are Violin and Cello! I've been playing them since the 5th grade! I love playing them soooo much! I even bought my own! Though it cost alot...
My big sister is mostly a Viola player, she's been learning ever since she was, like, 5! O.o
And all of my other relatives used to be in either band or orchestra...so, I'm in a musical family!
I would like to be able to play the bass guitar. I used to be able to play 'Amazing Grace' on the recorder.
I picked up flute in 7th grade when I joined the school band, unlike guitar and piano, which I had private lessons in since elementary school.

Vinyasa Yoga: Going with the Flow Vinyasa yoga is a major influence at this studio. Check out Groupon. s rundown of a few key terms to learn what to expect. Vinyasa : Sanskrit for. to place in a special way. like. the arrangement of notes in a raga, the steps along a path to the top of a mountain, or the linking of one asana pose to the next,. as yogini and author Shiva Rea has poetically put it. Breath-synchronized movement : one possible definition of vinyasa yoga. If you wrote out a sequence of poses, it might read: breathe in, upward-facing dog; breathe out, downward-facing dog; breathe in, look toward your hands; breathe out, step with your right foot between your hands. While there. s not necessarily a strict 1:1 breath-to-movement ratio, vinyasa-style classes do tend to hold fewer long poses than, say, hatha-style classes. Sun salutation : This sequence of poses starts and ends standing, and in between incorporates chaturanga dandasana, which flows from a plank pose into upward-facing dog (which actually more resembles a seal posing on a rock) and then downward-facing dog (bend at the hips and touch the ground so that your legs and upper body form roughly a 90. angle). In between are many other possible moves. and even the basics can be modified depending on ability. but all variations are unified in their ability to warm up all the muscles and keep the sun from adjusting its thermostat to. broil. For that reason, classes that don. t include at least one sun salutation are rare. Ujjayi breath : a powerful, controlled expulsion of air through the nose that. s produced from the diaphragm and makes a whispering sound in the back of the throat. The instructor may incorporate these breaths to physically warm up the body and keep up a rhythm to the changing poses.

Couple from Amsterdam
Luuk & Michel has completed online and offline ID verification.
Learn more »
The flat was more than awesome. One of the most welcoming and comfortable flats I had the chance to stay in. Very modern and with all the utilities one would like to have.
I highly recommend this place, as it is both close to the city, beautiful, and has more than enough space for 4-5 people. It's clean, affordable, and nearby the station.
Summary :
The host made us feel extremely welcome.
The information we needed was neat and tidily presented, and we got what we needed.
The listing description was accurate.
The neighborhood was great, although we did have some problems finding the location at first (This was because of my own incompetence and a not having a charged phone! Ha!)
So seriously, if you want to experience the wonderful city that is Amsterdam, this is the place to stay!
The Place is very cozy and very modern, complete with everything you will need. Strategically located at the heart of Amsterdam. Very spacious for us as a family. The owners Luuk and Michel even provided an instruction Manual for the usage of all appliances and how to get to the whereabouts in Amsterdam. Thumbs up and we'll definitely consider in renting the place when we come back.
Luuk and Michel were excellent hosts and very accommodating! I'd recommend this apartment to anyone who would like to stay in Amsterdam in style. The property is very stylish, very clean - as my friends described it "looks like it is straight out of a magazine"!
We will definitely try to book our next trip to Amsterdam around the availability of this flat.
We were six people living in this great apartment, and everything worked perfect.
The communication beforehand by mail and on the phone went perfect and we were received by the host who guided us round. To us the apartment had a great location - only a short distance to the tram and to the Stadium.
Quiet at night although the windows were opened.
Highly recommended.
The apartement is gorgeous and so beautiful! You guys have a really good taste. Everything is very clean, and the beds are really comfortable. You have often a tram to the city centre, it isn't complicated to get there. Thank you so much for this first great experience with Airbnb.
The place was spacious, clean and only a few train stations away from central Amsterdam. It was close enough that it was easy to get around town but far away enough that there was no noise at night. There was some construction going on in several buildings nearby however which was sometimes annoying on days we wanted to sleep in. The place has a nice balcony and the beds were comfortable.
Communication from the host and his friends who came around to drop off the keys and clean when we left was great, and they were all extremely friendly. If I come back to Amsterdam I would definitely not have a problem staying here again.
We spent 4 days in Amsterdam with another couple and we have enjoyed our stay. The flat is spacious and decorated with good taste. There are two bedrooms of equal size, which was perfect for us (however the mattress quality in the second bedroom is not as good as the masterbedroom). We have had breakfast in the flat every morning and found everything we needed to feel at home. The bathroom has a good size and is practical and clean. We went to one of the suggested restaurant (trouw) and had a lovely meal!
The only 2 negative points for us was that the flat is pretty far from the city centre, considering the size of the city and that there was a very unpleasant tabacoo smell in the flat (i didn't notice anything mentioning that smoking was allowed in the flat description, otherwise we might have looked for a non smoking place). So we will recommend it but only for smokers.
Dear Luisa,
Thanks a lot for your feedback! It's much appreciated. Funny about the mattress, many people tell us they like the bed even more in the quest room since its a dubble mattress. Our apologies about the smoking. If you ever decide to come again, it won't be there since we're smoke free for 14 days now :)! Thanks again for staying at our apartment.
We had a short and very last minute stay in Amsterdam, and Luuk and Michel were very helpful and accommodating. The apartments location was perfect as it is so close to the train station which drops you off right inside this airport. You are also very close to to tram which takes you to the main attractions. The apartment was beautiful and very clean. It was also great to have an elevator since our luggage was heavy. We had a great stay overall- thank you Luuk and Michel!
The apartment was great, the location perfect, everything as described. The apartment is very spacious (we were 5 persons). We had a lovely time there. The apartment is highly recommended.
Luuk and Michel and family are friendly and communicative people. They were respectful and helpful guests. The apartment was clean and tidy after their stay. They're welcome at home at any time. Highly recommended.
nice and friendly guests
Luuk and Michel were very nice guests, easy to communicate with and accommodating. They were respectful and seemed to have enjoyed the apartment which they left tidy.
I would recommend them as guests!
Michel and Luuk are good friends, awesome people and really warm hosts. I worked with Michel for 4 years, he's one of the most loving, positive and relaxed people I've ever met. And being with him really helped me to understand myself better, a nice bonus. Plus, they've got a really nice pad:-). Highly recommended!!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Staciedt from Great gender neutral, fits standard size pads Cute fabric with great quality and stitching. Goes great with rest of set offered. Only word to the wise is to order a changing pad in a standard size. I initially ordered one with tall sides and it didn't fit well. I purchased another changing pad that had a lower height.

Rated 5 out of 5 by KristyS from Moisture Resistant, Thick, Easy to Clean I bought this changing pad in addition to the mustard polt a dot pad to match the Not a Peep bedding that I chose for my third daughter's room. The baby has really put this product to the test. So often while changing her, I discover that she was not quite finished filling her diaper. This changing pad does not allow the mess to soak through the fabric. It is easy to remove from the changing pad, throw in the washer/dryer. Once clean, the changing pad looks new again, ready for another baby challenge.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Brejames from Great service and durable cover!! After searching high and low I found this changing pad cover for our little girl though I think it is good for a boy too. The durability of the fabric and design "made the room" come together. After multiple washings it still looks brand new. Baby spots are easily removed too.The changing pad cover was back ordered when I purchased but I spoke with a very nice and educated woman who told exactly when it would arrive and how many orders were in front of me. I felt good spending my money with her. Thank you!!

The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry
A Novel
From the critics
Community Activity
CommentAdd a Comment
The best novel I've read in a long time. Thought provoking and humorous -- but I'm someone who loves Barbara Pym's humorous novels, someone I've found is not everyone's favorite despite the high regard in which she is held. I could not put this novel down.
The February 2015 selection of the Willa Cather Book Club is part Canterbury Tales, part mid-life crisis. Harold Fry goes out one afternoon to mail a letter to a former colleague who is dying of cancer. Before he reaches the post box, he decides to walk from southwest England to northeast England to "save Queenie". Out of shape and ill-equipped, Harold faces many trials along the way...
Part of me wants to give this book a better review but it came across as depressing when it was highly recommended as "humourous fiction". I had to force myself to finish it.
This was truly an amazing journey. I love this story!
I loved this book! It was a little slow, but keep with it, the ending ties it all together and makes it more than worth it!
I truly enjoyed this book more than I expected. There were some touching moments and definitely some to think about, too. This story about an unusual journey and sorting through ones life is a simple yet amazing read!
This book will take you on a trip in your reading chair.. The story is deceptively simple but speaks to all the stories that are inside the people around you.
Wouldn't want to give away too much and ruin the reader's experience of an unfolding story, buuuuut there's a twist, and there's also a span to skim through because it interferes with the whole point of Harold's journey. You'll know it when it starts.
This is a light summer read and was quite touching in places and thought prevoking. I'm glad I read it but I am not as swept away by it as a lot of people; it's a bit long too.
A good although rather slow moving story about Harold Fry making sense and coming to terms with his marriage, his depressed son and his life in general through a long unplanned walk to visit an ill friend.. It always held my interest but there is nothing earth shaking in this novel---it's just a good read.
QuotesAdd a Quote
The world was made up of people putting one foot in front of the other; and a life might appear ordinary simply because the person living it had been doing so for a long time.
They believed in him. They had looked at him in his yachting shoes, and listened to what he said, and they had made a decision in their hearts and minds to ignore the evidence and to imagine something bigger and something infinitely more beautiful than the obvious.
"He understood that in walking to atone for the mistakes he had made, it was also his journey to accept the strangeness of others. As a passerby, he was in a place where everything, not only the land, was open. People would feel free to talk, and he was free to listen. To carry a little of them as he went. He had neglected so many things that he owed this small piece of generosity to Queenie and the past."
"It must be the same all over England. People were buying milk, or filling their cars with petrol, or even posting letters. And what no one else knew was the appalling weight of the thing they were carrying inside. The inhuman effort it took sometimes to be normal, and a part of things that appeared both easy and everyday. The loneliness of that."

SummaryAdd a Summary
This quiet novel from a new author feels very reserved and British (and it is). Harold Fry receives a letter from an old co-worker who he has not spoken with in over 20 years informing hm that she has terminal cancer. Upon reading the letter Harold knows he must espond so he crafts a letter and heads out to post it, but along the way meets a girl working in a gas station and explains about the letter. The girl tellls about her aunt who had cancer and says, "You have to believe.... trusting what you don't know and going for it." Something from that conversation touches him and Harold decides he must walk to the Queenie Hennessy -- if he walks she will not die befroe he gets there. The story is mysterious and sparse yet incredibly inspiring and heartwarming. Slowly along the way the story of Harold's relationship with his wife unfolds and we learn about their son, David in bits and pieces. It is not until the end that everything comes together and it is a sad picture of how much time can be wasted with misunderstanding and hurt, yet hope remains.

Robert "Budget Is Regressive" Chote heads for the OBR
It could all end in tears for Cameron and Osborne.
It could all end in tears for Cameron and Osborne.
by Mehdi Hasan Published
Is the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) "independent"? It's a question my colleague David Blanchflower has been asking for several weeks now in his economics columns in the NS.
Today's appointment of Robert Chote of the Institute for Fiscal Studies as the new head of the OBR -- replacing the outgoing Sir Alan Budd -- will go a long way towards reassuring the likes of Blanchflower. Chote has a reputation as a freethinker and is considered impartial and credible.
He has said that if his appointment is confirmed (by Andrew Tyrie's Treasury select committee), the OBR will present its judgements "without fear or favour".
Chote joins his wife, Sharon White, who is a policy director at the Department for International Development, inside Cameron's big tent -- along with the likes of Will Hutton, Frank Field, Alan Milburn and, of course, the Liberal Democrats.
But here's a question: will Chote continue to describe June's emergency Budget as "regressive" after he takes up the reins at the OBR? It might be a tad awkward for Cameron, Osborne, Clegg et al if he does.
In fact, I suspect that Dave's attempts to erect a "big tent" might backfire on him in the same way as Gordon Brown's "government of all the talents", or "goats", did.
Meanwhile, over on the Telegraph blog, James Kirkup imagines the response of our former PM to news of this particular coalition appointment:
Mr Chote will now become a senior member of the wider Treasury establishment, only a few years after a certain Gordon Brown vacated HMT. It's an open secret that the former PM was not a fan of Mr Chote. The oft-repeated story that Mr Brown engineered Mr Chote's removal as economics editor of the FT in the late 1990s is overstated. But it's certainly the case that Mr Brown frequently referred to Mr Chote using robust language, calling him things that cannot be repeated on a family blog . . . today, we can only imagine Mr Brown's feelings.

Deep Creases in bed sheet
Does anyone else have this problem??
These sheets start out flat. I keep getting deep creases along the top edge of my top sheets. You can iron them but they are always still visible and when using them on the bed the creases become more pronounced. After washing the crease is deep again.
Some sheets worse than others. The only one that doesn't do it is a no iron set from LE.
Solutions: (none of which will be popular with most people these days)
Line dry and finger press the still-wet fabric along the creases;
Light starch and iron, at the very least over the most- likely creased area along edges of sheet, including selvedges;
Do both of these from first use, before the creases start to become "set-in" because afterward the creases will continue to reappear because wear friction along them has worn the fabric thinner, making the fold persistent;
Eventually (after abouut 150 washings) overall wear will soften the sheet so that creases will not form as easily and you can skip the ironing;
Machine drying may excerbate the problem if the sheet hems were not originally perfectly aligned across the grain of the weave:
Only buy sheets with about 200-250 thread count percale, with high number of plies of long staple, fine cotton. As far as I know sheets like this are no longer commonly available except as NIB estate items. The trend towards high thread count sheets made of lower quality cotton has degraded the market.
Liriodendron, thanks for the solutions. All of my sheets are 200 to 250 count percale from Egyptian cotton - I like the crispness of lower count sheets. I ironed my sheets this morning (horrors:) and the sheet that has the worst creases was, as you said, cut a bit "off"- not perfectly straight with the grain of fabric. My sheets with the worst creases are also my newest ones, which are really nice Sferra sheets so I am willing to put some effort into rehabbing them. My plan is to line dry them from now on, trying to work on the creases as they dry, and then iron them to see if I can "re-set" the creases a bit.
Thanks for the help.
If the sheets are not hemmed straight across the grain (a common event these days), you can improve things a bit with some careful work to unpick the existing hem, straightening the hem-fold accross the grain, then re-hemming it. Getting the existing tiny hem stitches out w/o damaging the sheet takes good eyes and steady hands. Small losses to hem depth required to straighten it are usually neglible. Or you can wait to do this until it's time to turn the sheets top-to-bottom by exchanging the hems in order to even the wear over the long run. (For me that's somewhere between 75-100 washings.) Hemstiching and embroidery over the hem seam make this impossible, of course.
Egyptian cotton has a lovely hand to it, but I'm not sure it's the best material for sheets. Because sheets are such large swaths of cloth I think the fineness that makes it lovely to touch also makes it more likely acquire these annoying folds.
When hanging the sheets go to some trouble to hang them squarely so you don't add any bias-pull to the mix. I hang mine from the hem edges, each edge attached to an adjacent line, in a U-shape to add the effect of gravity to counteract creases. I pin the edges fairly taut and evenly folded over to discourage the creases (don't fold an incipient crease over the line, choose another position).
If your clothes line stays out all the time, it may help to run a damp cloth along it before hanging to remove any dust or dirt which can mar perfectly clean sheets. And don't forget to run your fingers over the selvedge edges to flatten any folds out lest they start to get their own annoying creases. Those creases will shorten the life of the sheet by damaging the edges.
BTW, The principal current source of NIB, pre-1960 sheets is eBay. I've acquired a life-time supply, but I still see them regularly. (Be warned: many sellers don't know the difference between muslin and percale, so you must know what the correct labels would look like and not rely on the description.)
I have 800 TC sheets that very closely approximate what my grandmother had when I was growing up. I inherited all her old sheets but they'll all for Full size beds and I have queen and king. Just don't have the heart to destroy them by sewing them all together into a correctly sized sheet set.
My sets are from India and Italy. Very nice stuff and they still look and feel new after 8 years.
BUT... they also have this dreaded creasing problem! And what others said is true - it's caused by the hems not being perfectly in line w/ the grain of the fabric.
I mitigate it by de-setting the creases as I would do for sewing. I take the wet sheets and use a warm iron or shirt presser to completely iron them dry them from wet to flat and straight. Then I go back with a hot iron and set them flat. It has to be redone about every 3 washings depending on how religious I am about getting the sheets out of the dryer at the end of cycle.
I'll deal with creased sheets before I'll line dry them! :D But with a shirt presser (also inherited), I can knock out a set in about 5 minutes.
- IT Geek
I have this problem with my men's handkerchiefs too. My solution will be to get 60 polyester 40 cotton sheets like we always used in the good old wash-n-wear days. Yes they eventually get to feel like sleeping on plastic, but in my book, the smooth sheets right out of the dryer are worth it. I still have one bottom sheet that is part poly and it is still nice. Once the wrinkles set in, all the advantage of cotton sheets goes away in my book. In the old days, (1930's and 1940's)there were large laundries in my home town that had huge mangles to press sheets flat for a price. Those could be all cotton.
nerdyshopper, in some European countries the commercial mangles are still widely used. My parents live in Poland where the custom is to launder your sheets and tablecloths at home, hang them to dry (virtually nobody owns a clothes dryer there) and when they are dry you bring them to the mangle where they press them (and starch them, if you want) and fold them neatly. I have to admit that I hand iron all my pillow cases and duvet covers because I just love that smooth ironed feel I grew up with. And I don't use flat sheets, just cotton duvet covers that get changed and washed as often as the sheets get changed and washed.
My husbands handkerchiefs are soft from repeated washings and they get ironed too (as do my tea towels).
. . .how to I find the grain of the fabric?
If you're working with a raw edge, like after you have undone the hem, there are two methods.
The first: pull a thread carefully all the way across the width of the fabric. Good sheets are woven so tightly, that this might be a challenge.
The second: make a slight snip with scissors and tear it. See video linked below. At around 1:45 she demonstrates this.
I haven't seen many sheets that are 'on grain' anymore. A lot of fabric, even for sewing, is off-grain and some are impossible to straighten out. Quality control has gone out the window in most manufacturing because it costs money.
As for pressing out the creases, mist the crease with vinegar & water before ironing. V:W 1:3 or 1:4 should be more than enough vinegar. You can always start with less vinegar and add it.
Here is a link that might be useful: finding the cross-grain
Thanks @ Cavium. What does the vinegar do? I pressed a seam out of my son's sheet tonight while sheet was still damp from washer. It looks better but I can still see where it is - it will work itself back as he sleeps with it.
I watched a video on fine linens and they were saying WHERE fabric is woven is one of the top 3 important points. Saying that Italy is considered the finest weavers in the world. They recommended Egyptian cotton, weaved in Italy. They said after that, thread count is a preference.
You can have a high thread count sheet but if it's not well woven - I guess that's where the problems come in.
The thread pulling technique may or may not work on sheets as percale is pretty tightly woven. If you are patient, though and have good light and maginification to pick up broken threads, you'll be OK.
Another way to sqaure up sheets in cases where they are really crooked is to remove the hems and carefully press the sheets flat, then trim off any out of square excessess and re-hem. This won't produce as perfect a cut line as cutting along a pulled thread, but it might make enough of a difference to be worth the trouble.
If you decide to tear the sheet, after pressing it to determine which side is the "high side", snip on that side and rip across.
I would only try the tear method is you are postive that you are headed across the sheet. This can only be known if you are starting with proper selvedge edges on unhemmed (long) sides. Many looms are so wide these days that some sheet materials are hemmed on all four sides. If yours are that way, there's no way to be sure they were cut to run along the grain and not cut scross.
Unfortunately the vinegar and water trick will not work if the creases are too worn in already by being folded over many times. In that case the threads are actually damaged and will continue to try to bend over along the fold. If you take your sheets apart and feel that the foldlines are too persistent, you could insert a piece of very lightweight interfacing within the hemmed area. I would slipstich the interfacing to the part of the hem folded towards the bottom side of the sheet. Be sure the interfacing can take the temps and vigor of sheet washing regimens -- some are synthetic and don't wash and dry well.
If your sheets are plain, the easiest thing might be to just reverse the top and bottom hems (the bottom hem has much less wear on it, meaning fewer fold lines.) While you've got it apart try to even up the ends as much as practical.
Thanks @ liriodendron! I'll see what I can do.
In the meantime, there is a "high end" linen shop in the city and I'm heading there this week to pick up some new sheets. They work with Italian weavers to acquire their Egyptian cotton percales and they sew them here (Canada) in their Quebec manufacturing facility. I'll speak with them about these creases but I'm hoping their sheets won't have them. They seem like they take great care in producing high quality items.
They also carry a line of Egyptian cotton percales woven in Israel but also sewn here in Canada that is more affordable (hopefully still very good quality) that I'll consider for my kids' beds.
I'm so tired of these ugly sheets! I don't mind ironing pillow cases and the top of the top sheet so things look nice and crisp but not when they end up looking worse than crumpled.
@ caryscott, to clarify, I don't iron the whole sheet but I do iron the pillow cases and the top edge of the top sheet. This just makes beds look so much nicer. I've seen them unironed and it's pretty messy looking. To each their own :)
I iron my tea towels too but that's another story ...
I received a personal reply tonight from the "high end" linen retailer I mentioned earlier. I asked her about these creases and (much like already mentioned) she said this about them:
" those creases are from the cases and flat sheets actually being cut unevenly. So if they are not cut straight (usually the result of how the fabric is rolled onto the roll by the weaving mill) then they will be sewn crooked as well.
There's not much you can do, but your best hope is to get the headers REALLY wet when you're ironing, and it should help considerably (use spray bottle.) If the sheets are a great quality, may as well just focus on how much you enjoy sleeping on them!"
I've asked her if her sheets woven in Italy and sewn here in Canada would be straight (therefore avoiding the darn creases). We shall see ...
