The English word games are:
○ Anagrams
○ Wildcard, crossword
○ Lettris
○ Boggle.
Lettris is a curious tetris-clone game where all the bricks have the same square shape but different content. Each square carries a letter. To make squares disappear and save space for other squares you have to assemble English words (left, right, up, down) from the falling squares.
Boggle gives you 3 minutes to find as many words (3 letters or more) as you can in a grid of 16 letters. You can also try the grid of 16 letters. Letters must be adjacent and longer words score better. See if you can get into the grid Hall of Fame !

For some reason it must have been a busy Wednesday night in Brisbane as all the hotels were very expensive.I booked Sudima with some confidence having read the reviews here.Room 504 is quite large a one bedroom suite with a nice big wrap around balcony and great views out over the city.The Sudima is quite close to South Bank - maybe 5 minutes or so walk.There is a lap pool which unfortunately was not heated and a tiny fitness room - not sure why they would bother as it was as useless as a sunroof on a submarine ! I really like the fact that this place is well priced,close to the city and large in size.

ST. MICHAELS, Md. (AP) — In a story May 11 about the War of 1812 on the Chesapeake Bay, The Associated Press reported erroneously that two of the donors to an exhibit at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum were Leslie Israel and Lesley Shook. The donors' names are Lesley Israel and Langley Shook.
Correction: War of 1812-Exhibit story
A corrected version of the story is below:
Maritime museum exhibit tells War of 1812 story
Eastern Shore maritime museum tells story of the War of 1812 on the Chesapeake Bay
The Star Democrat
ST. MICHAELS, Md. (AP) — Runaway slaves, captured women and children, British officers bestowing suspicious gifts and turncoat plantation owners trading with the enemy under a white flag — it all happened in Maryland on the Chesapeake during the War of 1812, according to a new exhibit at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum.
"Navigating Freedom: The War of 1812 on the Chesapeake" opened this weekend, beginning with a gala preview and donors party Friday evening.
Historians in St. Michaels have been waiting a long time for these dates to roll around — 2012, 2013, 2014, and a little bit of 2015.
It's the bicentennial of the War of 1812 — the war that, in a sense, put St. Michaels on the map. The Battle of St. Michaels occurred on August 10, 1813.
Details from that day have become a blend of history, myth, legend and tourism marketing that scholars are generally discouraged from unraveling.
Researchers at the Maritime Museum decided to take a different tack. They would tell the story of the War of 1812 in St. Michaels, the Chesapeake and Maryland by recounting the tales of individuals whose lives were forever changed by war.
The sources for the accounts were a collaborative effort that included the museum's Center for Chesapeake Studies, the Maryland State Archives' Legacy of Slavery in Maryland program, Pulitzer-prize winning historian Alan Taylor, and author and professor Jennifer Dorsey, Norman and Ellen Plummer, Bill Dudley and others.
They include the accounts of people like Gabriel Hall, a slave on a farm in Calvert County who escaped with two others to a British squadron moored on the Patuxent River, and eventually moved to Halifax.
Another account would be of four slaves who escaped to a British ship off Poole's Island in Kent County in 1814. The slaves led the British to an attack at Caulk's Field and the British were thrashed soundly, leading scholars to believe the slaves deliberately lied and set up an ambush.

'I wanted him to draw somewhere in the middle of the field, not inside, not outside. I'm hoping he jumps as fast as usual. I'd like him to race handy as he usually does and even make it [the pace] if he has to, but we will ride the race according to the other horses.'Sunday, 12 December, 2004, 12:00am
There was a time when Clive Brittain feared accident-prone Var might never race under his banner but on Sunday he will line up as one of the real query runners in the Hong Kong Sprint with his trainer one of the few visitors well aware of the obstacle before him.9 Dec 2004 - 12:00am
Recent Ascot Queen Elizabeth II Stakes winner Rakti heads a galaxy of international thoroughbred talent that has been committed to Hong Kong's international race meeting on December 12.10 Oct 2004 - 12:00am
'He had a nice piece of work there [400m in 22.4 seconds] and he is very, very well. He showed earlier in the week that he has a good action on this turf. I just hope there is enough pace in this race as he can pull a bit.'
- Marcel Rolland, trainer of Fair Mix.14 Dec 2003 - 12:00am
'I don't think we've ever taken horses away and not picked up something,' says England's veteran world traveller
International racing might seem to be a new pursuit to many racing fans, but English trainer Clive Brittain was there when the dawn broke on it almost two decades ago.11 Dec 2003 - 12:00am
The star English rider is teaming up with his English mentor, the globe-trotting Clive Brittain, as well as leading Dubai-based Sri Lankan handler, Dhruba Selvaratnam.
Doyle will ride the smart five-year-old Pegnitz for Brittain as well as the speedy three-year-old filly Crimplene.17 Mar 2000 - 12:00am
A quarantine wrangle could prevent globe-trotting English stayer Luso, the mount of Irish ace Michael Kinane, from defending his $6.5 million International Vase crown next month.
Trainer Clive Brittain, known throughout his career for taking a horse anywhere to win a race, has decided on a two-pronged Far Eastern attack for Luso.12 Nov 1998 - 12:00am
Luso spearheads what may prove a dominant European attack on the International Vase.
It is simply impossible to fault the credentials of the Clive Brittain-trained globetrotter and everything looks in place for last year's winner to retain his crown.14 Dec 1997 - 12:00am
Look no further than Luso in the Vase for one standout bet in this afternoon's enthralling International contests at Sha Tin.
Luso is defending his Vase crown from last season and, if anything, has arrived in town looking even better than 12 months ago when he scored by 1.5 from the Australian perennial, Royal Snack.14 Dec 1997 - 12:00am
Sheik Mohammed, who warned this week that he will pull the plug on British racing unless it is better funded, should have no concern on that score at Sha Tin today. The money-laden Hong Kong series gives the Sheik and his associates an excellent chance of a king-sized collect.14 Dec 1997 - 12:00am
American challenger White Bronco was yesterday withdrawn from tomorrow's $6.5 million International Bowl, while strong support and a good barrier draw saw the odds on Hong Kong hope Special plummet.13 Dec 1997 - 12:00am
The locals appear to have their best chance of International glory and yesterday's important Sha Tin trackwork session only served to underline their claims.
Smashing Pumpkin and Johan Cruyff carry Hong Kong's hopes into the showpiece 1,800-metre International Cup, while Special flies the the SAR flag in the 1,400-metre Bowl.10 Dec 1997 - 12:00am
The Germans are mounting a serious raid on December's International Vase.
The European and United Arab Emirates entries and reserves for each of the showpiece events were announced last night with Germany holding a strong hand in the 2,400-metre Vase following Borgia's top-class third in last weekend's Arc De Triomphe.10 Oct 1997 - 12:00am
Globe-trotting Luso will be back to defend the International Vase in this season's December showpiece at Sha Tin.
Luso, who defeated Australia's Royal Snack and Horse of the Year Privilege in the 2,400-metre event last year, has been entered afresh by trainer Clive Brittain, and with two Group successes to his credit in Europe this season he seems assured of making the trip.27 Sep 1997 - 12:00am
Globetrotting trainer Clive Brittain is convinced the Mick Kinane-ridden Luso has what it takes to win the $30 million World Cup in Dubai on Saturday. And at 33-1 in England, he strongly advises those who can to have a little something each-way. 'The odds-makers have got it wrong in putting him at that price.25 Mar 1997 - 12:00am

Telltale start the new Walking Dead season with a bang, delivering a tense and gripping episode that thrusts a familiar face into new desperation and dangers.
Journey of a Roach
It's rather short in length and lacks much story substance, but Journey of a Roach is a charming, original adventure that genre fans and newcomers alike will enjoy.
Goodbye Deponia
The Deponia trilogy turns out to be very good at goodbyes. If you enjoy LucasArts-style comedic games, this series – and especially the final game – will provide hours of tongue-in-cheek unconventionality.
Secret Files: Sam Peters
Sassy journalist Sam Peters makes the most of her moment in the sun in this neat little Secret Files spin-off, reclaiming some of the series' former glory by demystifying an ancient African legend.
Nancy Drew: The Silent Spy
No need to break out the gadgets; if you're looking for a surprisingly personal story and a wealth of codebreaking puzzles, you'll find them front and center in Nancy's case of The Silent Spy.
The Wolf Among Us
Hats off to Telltale for not resting on their laurels with The Wolf Among Us, but stepping out and creating a new adventure series that is shaping up to be brilliantly bleak and gritty but joyously fun.
The Inner World
While The Inner World certainly doesn't push the envelope, neither does it cut any corners in delivering top-notch fun for the family.
Memoria offers players a second trip into the striking but unsettling, gloomy world of Aventuria. Like The Dark Eye: Chains of Satinav before it, the sequel falls a little short of greatness, but within the strange yet stunning fantastical settings, another dark story filled with personal sacrifice unfolds. And this time around the use of new magic spells imparts a unique flavour on the experience.
Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons
Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons is an exquisitely told story set in a world overflowing with personality. While the actual challenge on offer is minimal, the story is so strong, the lands traversed so beautiful, the music so enchanting that the lack of difficulty is not an issue. It's an immersive, emotional gem that's not to be missed.
The Raven: Legacy of a Master Thief - Chapter One: The Eye of the Sphinx
In this three-part crime story set in the 1960s, The Raven offers up a captivating story, intriguing characters and brilliant audio production in an engaging point-and-click whodunit/heist adventure. Just when it seems that things have calmed for a moment, something will happen or evidence will be uncovered that will keep you wanting to play on. Add in an unusual protagonist, crisp graphics, fantastic localization, and a lengthy run time, and you've got a game that soars to impressive heights.
Night of the Rabbit,The
Once again Daedalic has reached into the fantasy hat and pulled out a rabbit – this time literally. In their new jaw-droppingly gorgeous hand-painted adventure, 12-year-old Jerry Hazelnut follows a dapper-looking, talking anthropomorphic lagomorph to the magical, miniature world of Mousewood, but he soon discovers that something evil is threatening the very fabric of reality, and the young magician's apprentice must face his worst fears to save himself and everyone he knows. But can he do all that and still be home in time for dinner?
The Cave
A new Ron Gilbert adventure is reason to jump for joy, and you'll be doing plenty of running, jumping, and climbing in this offbeat dark comic adventure. Whether alone or with friends in local co-op multiplayer, you'll send three (of seven possible) intrepid explorers into the depths of a talking, omniscient cave in order to seek their greatest desires, but they'll need to overcome plenty of puzzles, easily-spelunked platforms and unpleasant truths about themselves before they're able to find them.
The Book of Unwritten Tales: The Critter Chronicles
The second story in the acclaimed fantasy series is an entertaining prequel that focuses on the relationship between the human adventurer Nate and his soon-to-become-inseparable purple hairy sidekick, Critter. It's more confined than its predecessor and features just the two protagonists, but it's every bit as gorgeous and funny, and its stars must continually work together if they're to outsmart the wicked Munkus and save the critter tribe's village.
Not all ghosts are scary. Some of them are odd and even quite fun. Just ask Mary, the star of Deck13's latest supernatural comic adventure. Her gift of communicating with the dead results in a motley crew of "helpful" spectres, from a diminutive pirate to a bulbous Scottish hero to a waterlogged ancient Chinese philosopher (among others). Each has unique gifts, and you're going to need them all if you're to save Mary's sister and the entire spirit world while you're at it.
Lost Chronicles of Zerzura
Step aside, Atlantis. Move over, El Dorado. The hot new fabled lost city is Zerzura, thanks to Cranberry Production's 16th century excursion into the arid Saharan desert. Set against the backdrop of the Spanish Inquisition, this entertaining romp takes players through the skies in the first-ever flying machine, across the ocean by Corsair ship, and over land via bumpy camel rides in pursuit of the legendary city.

beautiful, clear, succinct, poignant tale of a young girl escaping Saigon and finding a life in Alabama. Reflects beauty and ugliness of American culture. Informative of "normal" life in Saigon, not just the effect of war, and of Vietnamese culture.
Every New Year brings the war closer and closer to Ha's Saigon home. But the idea of leaving is unthinkable. Ha desperately holds onto the hope that her father, who has been missing in action for nearly nine years, will walk back in the door one day and if the family leaves then how will he find them? But as the bombs reach the outskirts of the city her mother knows it's time to run.
They can only take a very few things with them when the city falls to the Communist army, just what they can carry. Her mother takes 10 family photos and burns the rest and Ha would like to take her beloved papaya tree that she's grown from seed but, of course, that's impossible. It feels like she's losing everything she's ever loved when she goes from being deeply rooted in Vietnam to being rootless in a world that doesn't seem to want anything to do with her. In the crush of thousands of people trying to escape the bombing they end up on an overcrowded ship with their few belongings and not enough of the essentials like food. Before long they're floating around in the ocean, lost on an overcrowded ship and starving.
When they do finally land they end up in the United States. Alabama to be exact and it feels like they're still in a war zone. People, kids and adults, bully and threaten Ha daily. Life is alien and hard. Adjusting to this new existence takes time, the love of her family and the kindness of strangers. The journey is unforgettable.
Author Thanhha Lai has written this semi autobiographical novel of survival in a time of great change in free verse which works beautifully. Her ability to capture complex and intense moments through lyrical verse is impressive. Inside Out and Back Again is in the same arena as Yellow Star by Jennifer Roy in dealing with frightening historical events in a way that is wonderfully accessible for children in grades 4 on up.
I loved this book! Poetry was a unique way to share this touching story.
In one particularly memorable scene, Hà is asked to recite some basic words, like the alphabet letters and a few numbers, in front of her new, American classmates. For this simple task, she receives applause. Her anger at this reaction is almost palpable. At home, she is the best student! Yet here, she is lauded for knowledge that a much younger student would know.
Anyone who has learned a second language can relate to Hà's sense of frustration at scenes like this. Even her name is taken from her, as most Americans don't catch the falling tone as shown by the diacritical mark; instead, her name is mispronounced as the sound of laughter. Despite this indignity and many others, this young Vietnamese girl persists in learning English and successfully transitioning to her new life.
this book is a really good book! Like I said in the love that dog thing this book has a lot of poetry in it and that makes it nice to read because the order of the words are not striate forward. you might be thinking that poetry is boring but you are wrong! this book does not have that kind of poetry that you don't want to read. this book has the kin of poetry that tells a story, and that is a good kind of poetry to read!
very good!
Interesting and unique read, it's great to learn about a different culture, and the format in this book is both fitting for the content and intriguing to the reader.
I loved it. While it didn't seem that poetic, it's still written beautifully, and it's a hopeful story.
Students, ages 8-13, would be able to relate to this story very easily. This is an enjoyable and entertaining read for students that is engaging. Everyday struggles of race, bullying, and transitioning to a new place are all issues students can relate to which is why this can work in the classroom. This is a great opportunity to incorporate poetry into the curriculum.
I recommend this book because it portrays a problem that some students go through, and that is fitting in. The story is develops in a series of poems and reflect the struggles of a little girl in a new country, with a new language and a new life. The author sets the message of hope and a new beginning in the story. With support from family and friends the main character Ha's feisty gains her self-confidence back.

I could not find a quote in the book that supported the books idea very well.
"This year I Hope"
"No more Migration
No more letters
No more family"
"Oh, my daughter, at times you have to fight, but preferably not with your fists."
"No one would believe me but at times I would choose wartime in Saigon over peacetime in Alabama."
"On one side of the bright, noisy room, light skin. Other side, dark skin. Both laughing, chewing, as if it never occurred to them someone medium would show up."
SummaryAdd a Summary
This is the story of a young girl named Ha who is forced to move with her family to America because of the Vietnam War that has reached her homeland. They start a new life in Alabama that Ha finds challenging because she does not fit in with the culture around her. Eventually, with the help of her teacher, Ha finds herself and begins to enjoy her new life in Alabama.
This story is about Ha` and her family being forced from her home in Vietnam to move to the United States because of a war. Ha` and her family moved to Alabama to start over. Although, Ha` and her three brothers were bullied and taunted by the children at school and their neighbors, they found hope in each other and one of their neighbors Miss Washington.
"No one would believe me but at times I would choose wartime in Saigon over peacetime in Alabama." Ha has known both in her life, actually. Born in Vietnam during the war, Ha lives with her mother and three older brothers. Her father disappeared years ago on a navy mission when Ha was just one. Today the family doesn't even know if he's alive, but when the chance comes to flee Saigon and make a new life in America, Ha's mother doesn't hesitate. Once they're settled in Alabama, Ha has a whole new set of problems ahead of her. She's homesick, mad that she's no longer the smartest girl in class, and tormented after school by some of the boys. Yet the solution, it seems, is not to become someone different but to take what she is already and find a way to make her new life work.

On a Crinum kick (see link) but where to buy?
Hello everyone!
My friend Linda says she is on a crinum kick, but can't find a mail order source that carries a wide variety so that the shipping costs are not so high.
Does anyone here have any suggestions?
She provided this link to some beautiful crinums. Click on a variety name to see lots of pictures.
Here is a link that might be useful: PBSWiki -- Crinums
Here's a place I have bookmarked. I've hever ordered any though.
Here is a link that might be useful: Marcelle's Crinums
Thanks to you all for the tips on two places to order!
Barb, I don't see a place to order, or prices, on Marcelle's site or anything about Sept 20. Will look again, but maybe you could tell me on which part of the site map you found that info.
Anyone else is welcome to add any places that you might know of.
I'm digging and selling ALL of mine! I'm rich! I'm rich!! I didn't see any variegated on her site either. I thought she had some.
Roselee-is your friend coming to the fall Mercer trade by any chance? If so let me know. I'll run around and dig her some up. You're on your own for names for the most part. Most of the ones I have access to are growing in ditches, old cemetaries, etc. so I've no idea what they are.
Tally HO!
I am digging and dividing very soon, and would be happy to share some if your friend is interested. I know I have Mrs. James Hendry, Ellen Bosanquet, Stars and Stripes, and several others that I will have to check on the names.
Let me know...
Thank you very much Tally and Janie! I'm sending this link to Linda so she will see your very kind offers, but I doubt if she will be able to attend the Mercer swap or travel very far south. She lives near Seguin and as a nurse she has a full schedule. But you never can tell what we might do for plants! I'll let her get in touch with you if there is a way she can take advantage of your generosity.
BTW, some of you frequenting Rainbow Gardens on Thousand Oaks in San Antonio might remember Linda; blond, bouncy, very knowedable. (Yeah, that's you Linda :-) She worked there several years ago and that's where I met her.
I have bought some from Brent and Becky's bulbs, they were a very nice size (and I got one at their half-price sale in May so that was even better).
I have ordered several from Nestor on eBay (seller name bulbsnmore), and have been happy with his.
The nicest ones I've received have been those from Sylvia in Red Oak (and that's how I met her, trolling Craig's list for plants). One was as big as a coconut, the other was in a 5-gallon pot.
Here is a link that might be useful: ebay link for bulbsnmore
I wish I had the pics on photo bucket, but I have a beautiful
dark pink and the more common milky white with a pink stripe down the center of each petal. My bulbs will be quite large.
roselee, you friend enough to come dig them up??? Might even
include a rose.
Even us nurses get a day off now and again. But I understand with the price of gas not wanting to drive this far. However, it is for plants and we've all done things for plants we wouldn't for anything else. Really, I wouldn't get up and drive all the way across Houston to the other side of the world at 5 in the morning for anything EXCEPT the Mercer trade. And the Ft. Bend trade, and the new Katy trade.......
Anyway, if she makes a trip to the shore tell her to let me know. We'll get a shovel and start digging.
Tally HO!
Rinbow Gardens on Bandera has queen emma and milk and wine. Brent and Becky's has an excellent selection, but will have to wait till to next spring to order from them.
However, Brent and Becky's offers one crinum variety in their fall catalog. Crinadonna
After having looked at some of the youtubes from Southern Bulb, I would LOVE to have crinum Mrs. James Hendry (without paying $30 for it from Yucca Do :). If anyone has one they'd like to trade, I have some Oxblood/Schoolhouse lilies (rhodophiala bifida) that I could trade - and depending on how big your crinum bulb is, I could put quite a few of those in a package to you!
Ever hopeful -
If you want antique or heirloom that readily grow in Texas, then Southern Bulb Co. is your place. We have had a couple of their crinums for 2 years now.

Credit rating can be enhanced by making regular payments on time and paying off your debt on time. Careful planning and financial responsibility will help you eliminate student loan debt from your life
How student loans can affect credit scores Debts affect credit score and so is student loan having impact over rating. Your student loan will likely be the biggest borrowing you have ever had and probably the first. Your way of handling student loan is reflected on your financial health and your credit rating is foundation of deciding how much you can borrow in the coming years. Credit rating can be enhanced by making regular payments on time and paying off your debt on time. Careful planning and financial responsibility will help you eliminate student loan debt from your life. These few tips will help you to effectively manage your debt. Make interest payments With acquiring unsubsidized government or bank loan, there are chances that you might have to clear interest payments while you are still in school. You should consider this into your monthly budget and must pay interests on time. Else, there is option of deferring the interest payments and aggregating them to the principal amount which will be due after the graduation but you should not opt this way. The interest added in the amount and will be summed to form fat amount and can be a cause of spotty credit report. Use the grace period After graduation, one usually has six- to 12-months grace period before one starts repaying. During this duration you can search for a job and earn some financial stability. If you find job for yourself in the grace then you should put some money aside to pay big into your loan. This will boost your credit score. Pay it off quickly Many banks give 10 years time to repay the loan. You can pay the loan sooner by increasing the monthly payment. You can act wisely by paying extra payment like tax refund or bonus check, towards the principal amount. Don't skip payments You should show faith in making payments and this will make you credit worthy. Lenders should be immediately contacted, if any problem is encountered while making payments. This portrays your cooperation. For your convenience you can make smaller payments leading to longer term payment. But do not skip it as it will be shown up as negative mark on your credit reports. Never default Defaulting means a patch on your credit history for seven years. Your creditors will approach you for payments, if you default. Your lender can garnish your wages and tax refunds to repay the amount. Student loans are not always forgiven in case of bankruptcy. One has to still pay government loans. Bankruptcy stays on your credit file for 10 years. With the money you owe - be it credit card balance, a student loan or a mortgage, the best way to make your credit history spotless is by making regular payments and soon getting rid of the balance. This is sure way to improve credit score and earn peace of mind.

Why I don't work on sex in eukaryotes
John Logsdon's talk reminded me of why and how I originally was planning to work on this. "The Evolution of Sex" is still one of the biggest unsolved problems in evolutionary biology; we don't know how or why eukaryotic sexual reproduction (by meiosis and gamete fusion) originated and we don't know why it's been so evolutionarily successful. Most research into this is theoretical, or involves comparing populations that reproduce with and without sex.
My plan (10 or 15 years ago) was to instead investigate the origin of sexual reproduction by first identifying the deepest-branching evolutionary lineage that has sexual reproduction or homologs of meiosis-specific genes, and then determining the functions of these homologs and/or of sexual reproduction in the present-day members of this lineage.
When I first made this plan, the field of deep phylogeny was full of optimism that we would soon have a reliable phylogenetic tree showing the true relationships of all eukaryotes. The figure to the left shows the state of the tree then. The groups called Diplomonads, Trichomonads and Microsporidia were thought to be the first to have branched from the line that eventually led to plants and animals. Microsporidians were known to have (various weird forms of) sexual reproduction, while sex was unknown in Trichomonads and Diplomonads, consistent with an origin between the times of these divergences. The precise branching order wasn't yet firm, but most researchers felt that all we needed was a few more sequences of a few key taxa, and maybe a few refinements to the analytical methods used to infer relationships from sequences.
But the adjacent figure shows the present state of this phylogeny. It's from a recent review by a collaboration of CIfAR researchers, all but one of whom were at last week's meetings (Keeling et al. Trends in Ecology & Evolution 20:670-676). There's a pdf here; I think it's open access.
The new tree organizes the eukaryotes into five main lineages, with no real information about the order in which these groups originated (the 'root' (the center of the figure) is shown as what's called a 'star' phylogeny). The division into five groups is itself very speculative, as there are very deep divergences within each group. Bottom line? we don't know which eukaryote lineages arose first, and few researchers are now confident that we will ever know.
And where is sexual reproduction in this tree? Just about everywhere; the apparently asexual groups are dispersed with the sexual groups. So I don't regret my decision 7 years ago to abandon my goal of placing the origin of sex on the eukaryote tree.
And what about the goal of identifying the genes specific to meiosis, and characterizing their distribution in eukaryotes? A number of genes have been described as 'meiosis-specific', and in his SMBE talk John reported on their distribution and relationships to other genes, especially in those unicellular eukaryotes that might be representatives of early branches. Most of these genes are present in most of the species he's looked at, and in most cases they appear to have arisen by gene duplication.
One of the biggest challenges with this work is being sure that a gene is indeed meiosis-specific in all of the species it's found in - a gene that is meiosis-specific in yeast could have a related but not meiosis-specific role in a distant relative. This is very difficult to determine, especially because sex has never been observed in some of these species (if they are sexual, they're also very secretive). I'm glad that John Logsdon has been working on this, rather than me.

I agree that at one level it has been a bit of a disapointment that sex & meiosis did not arise during eukaryote evolution--as you and I had previosuly considered to be a real possibility. On another level, however, this makes meiotic sex a key mechanism in the emergence of the eukaryotic cell. Also, given that meiosis evolved "deep & early", we are now in a position to ask some different questions about the subsequent evolutionary history of meiosis.ReplyDelete

Front door color?
Well I'm just torn about what color to paint the front door. Our house style is "coastal craftsman" with boothbay blue siding and white trim. The front door is 8' tall with 2 skinny sidelights. Wasn't too excited about it but it made sense to match the window height and spacing requirements. I was originally thinking of painting the sidelights white and the door a pretty color. Any ideas?? I could use some input! Here are some pics:
It was pretty gray and raining when I took the pic but here's the same color scheme on someone else's house:
First of all, your home is gorgeous and it had already reminded me of the home you posted at the bottom. Is that close to you? I found the remodelers blog a long time back and then saw it featured in BHG. I love the green they used on their door and I think the right green would look beautiful with your siding and white trim!
I'm not sure where the cottage is but we are up in Edmonds (coastal town just north of Seattle). I love that cottage too and it helped me solidify our house color choice months ago. I was googling the color when I came across the blog. And then I saw it in BHG too. I was sitting on my couch reading it and couldn't believe it. Yes, I too love the green door and that's really my first choice. But I didn't want to miss out on other colors that might look good too. I thought I might be loving it so much because the little blue cottage has it, but I guess that's fine too :)
I just have to say that I was hoping to get more shots of Harry..ha! He's such a cutie patootie!
Have you thought about just staining the door? Maybe someting similar to this....
Here is a link that might be useful: House on houzz....
I was going to suggest stain as well! Stained doors are very popular in our neck of the woods...ours is mahogany, with a dark stain. There are quite a few Nantucket style homes in my neighborhood, some with painted shingles like yours, and they all have stained doors. Your house is lovely!
If you don't stain the door, and decide to go with painting it, I'd choose red for a pop of color. In the top picture posted, the side panels almost appear red (probably just temp covering), but see how nice that red looks.
I'm in L.A. and a lot of people in the trendier neighborhoods paint their doors red.
He is a doll! I have seen red doors, chartreuse green doors and yellow doors on gray houses and they all look great. It depends on the look you are going for and how daring you are :) Not everyone is brave enough for a chartreuse door!

I was not pleased with the way Mr. Hall's office handled my case at all. I only dealt with his assistant. I was never able to meet him. When I called, he was never in the office and never returned my calls. He kept almost 75% of the settlement, due to medicals and "his fees & misc costs". I would not use him again.

Fiona tells of her unlikely journey to running
By Fiona Green.
Had anyone told me 40 years ago that I would not only be running for pleasure but also racing competitively when I was 50, I wouldn't have believed them. For years I clung to the only athletic accomplishment I had ever achieved – a third place finish in the 3-legged race at age 7 when my partner, bound to me at the ankle by a pair of my mother's beige stockings, had literally picked me up, run 100 meters and successfully crossed the finish line ahead of two less coordinated teams whose ankle tie had come loose. It was perhaps a victory by default but at the time, I felt like an Olympian. Read more.

The Stride is everything

The stride is everything. That's all there is to it; stride after stride. In light of this fact, it's truly amazing how little attention has traditionally been given to stride development in the training of distance runners. Most coaches have few ideas about the characteristics that define good running form and do nothing to actively improve the stride of their runners other than prescribe a few technique drills that are justified by tradition more than by any sound biomechanical rationale.

Successful Cops for Kids Event Produces a Surprise Winner
By Fiona Green
The inaugural Cops For Kids 5K, held on the banks of the Trinity River at Panther Island Pavilion on March 28, was a huge success, attracting 412 runners. Race director Casey Mills (pictured top left), a Sergeant who has worked for the Fort Worth Police Department for 28 years, did an excellent job of organizing the event and didn't miss a beat when he was informed that the planned route needed to be changed to avoid runners colliding with participants in the MS Walk, taking place a little farther down the trail.
Mills serves as the board director for the Fort Worth Police Officers Association, which is the driving force behind the Fort Worth Cops for Kids charity, the conduit through which the police give back to the community they serve. Every year the charity receives requests to assist families or individuals in need. Mills explained "We have officers in the field who bring situations to our attention and make requests for funding. Last year, an officer proposed helping a family whose home had burned down. They had lost everything right before school started. We provided funding and transportation so the officer could take them shopping for clothes and school supplies. We have had requests for sponsorships for events. There was also a bowling tournament for a child with Duchene Muscular Dystrophy. We also take kids from the Boys and Girls club to sporting events. One of our big events is making Build-a-Bears and taking them to Cook Children's Hospital for the holidays where they are given to children who can't leave for the holidays."
Runners were able to enjoy the delicious smell of barbecued meat while they ran as the race start and finish was also the site for a barbecue cook-off. Formerly held in the Stockyards, the cook-off has been one of the association's main fundraisers since 2006. This year's event attracted 123 culinary teams who were up at 4 a.m. seasoning and cooking their meat to perfection, competing for over $7,500 in prize money. The cook-off was followed later in the day by the Chisholm Trail music festival. All proceeds from yesterday's events go towards Cops for Kids.
Overall winner, 44-year-old Steve Sprowls (pictured), was so surprised at his overall win that he didn't know how to react. Because this was his first overall win, he admitted it was awesome but also felt a little weird. Looking at Sprowls, one might assume he has been active all his life. He is tall and lean and looks like an athlete. However 7 years ago, he was 50 pounds heavier and hardly the picture of health. In 2007, he left active duty in the Air Force and started work with Southwest Airlines. A year later, when his weight topped out at 230, he knew he needed to change his lifestyle but wasn't sure how. He was fortunate to end up on the same plane as flight attendant Vicki Daniel (mother of pro football QB Chase Daniel) who was in her fifties and looked amazing. She mentioned she worked out with a personal trainer who gave her someone to be accountable to besides herself. When he returned from the trip, Sprowls found a flyer on his door advertising a new strip mall gym that did personal training only. Inspired by Vicki he decided to give it a try and thus began his fitness journey.
In early 2014 his weight had dropped to 205, thanks to his half marathon training, but his eating habits needed to be improved. Last year, Beachbody released a new workout program called 21 Day Fix. Sprowls desribes the workouts as "30 minutes and a kick in the pants." However, it was Beachbody's portion controlled eating plan that changed his life. He now weighs 180 pounds and has since become a Beachbody coach. In his spare time he also coaches his daughter's volleyball team, which allows him a chance to share his love of the sport he enjoyed while growing up.
While Sprowls usually runs half marathons (he ran both the Cowtown Half and the Rock 'n' Roll Half), he will now be switching to obstacle courses and mud runs for the rest of the year. His current weekly mileage is between 20-25 miles and also includes strength training and yoga. Asked for some tips to runners struggling to stick with a program, he replied "Keep up the good work and have fun. For better success, find someone else to be accountable to; your spouse, your kids, your friends, your dog. Then pick a goal to work toward and stay focused on. Finally, put it out there on Facebook so the entire world knows...or at least your FB friends."

Pro age-graded runs scheduled
The Professional Age Graded Racing Association (PAGRA) has announced its tour event schedule for 2015. The four tour events are scheduled for April 25, June 6, September 6, and December 5.
Each event will feature a minimum purse of $5,000 that will be paid to the top 70 finishers. The PAGRA uses a payout schedule similar to professional golf in that each runner is paid a percentage of the purse based on his/her finishing position. First place will earn 18 percent of the purse, or a minimum of $900. The purse will be increased based on sponsor participation.
As the name implies, the participant times will be adjusted based on the World Masters Association Software Tables. This allows participants of all ages and abilities to compete head-to-head for the prize money. Rankings from 100 percent to 60 percent of the world record for each distance are available and each participant will be ranked based on their performance in the initial event.
Amateur athletes, such as high school or college students, can compete in the amateur division. This allows those athletes to test themselves against the region's best runners while maintaining their amateur status. Amateur PAGRA Members are subject to UIL, NJCAA, AAU, USATF, USOC, IAAF, and NCAA participation and award rules and regulations. Their finishes will not be included in the purse payout calculations.
Annual membership is required to participate in any of the events. An entry fee of $15 per event is also required. The initial annual membership is set at $100, but will increase to $150 after April 5th.
