Technical Data |
HDAC11 (Histone Deacetylase 11, HD11, HD-11, FLJ22237) |
Description: HDAC11 is responsible for the deacetylation of lysine residues on the N-terminal part of the core histones (H2A, H2B, H3 and H4). Histone deacetylation is a marker for epigenetic repression and plays an important role in transcriptional regulation, cell cycle progression and developmental events. Histone deacetylases act via the formation of large multiprotein complexes. The predominantly nuclear HDAC11, which interacts with HDAC6, is weakly expressed in most tissues, and strongly expressed in brain, heart, skeletal muscle, kidney and testis. Its activity is inhibited by trapoxin, a known histone deacetylase inhibitor. Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA, Western Blot, and Immunohistochemistry. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: ELISA: 1:1000 Western Blot: 1:25 Immunohistochemistry: 1:50-1:100 Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Positive Control: Mouse Brain cell lysate Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, aliquot and store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer. |

dc.description.abstract | Background: Hepatic failure has been associated with reported therapeutic use of acetaminophen by alcoholic patients. The highest risk period for alcoholic patients is immediately after discontinuation of alcohol intake. This period exhibits the largest increase in CYP2E1 induction and lowest glutathione levels. Our hypothesis was that common liver tests would be unaffected by administration of the maximum recommended daily dosage of acetaminophen for 3 consecutive days to newly-abstinent alcoholic subjects. Methods: Adult alcoholic subjects entering two alcohol detoxification centers were enrolled in a prospective double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial. Subjects were randomized to acetaminophen, 4 g/day, or placebo for 3 consecutive days. The study had 95% probability of detecting a 15 IU/L difference in serum ALT. Results: A total of 443 subjects were enrolled: 308 (258 completed) received acetaminophen and 135 subjects (114 completed) received placebo. Study groups did not differ in demographics, alcohol consumption, nutritional status or baseline laboratory assessments. The peak mean ALT activity was 57 [plus or minus] 45 IU/L and 55 [plus or minus] 48 IU/L in the acetaminophen and placebo groups, respectively. Subgroup analyses for subjects presenting with an elevated ALT, subjects fulfilling a diagnosis of alcoholic hepatitis and subjects attaining a peak ALT greater than 200 IU/L showed no statistical difference between the acetaminophen and control groups. The one participant developing an increased international normalized ratio was in the placebo group. Conclusion: Alcoholic patients treated with the maximum recommended daily dose of acetaminophen for 3 consecutive days did not develop increases in serum transaminase or other measures of liver injury. Treatment of pain or fever for 3 days with acetaminophen appears safe in newly-abstinent alcoholic patients, such as those presenting for acute medical care. | en_US |

Hey guys some of you might notice I posted something similar a few weeks back. This past weekend I drove to Mobile from Tuscaloosa for Labor day well on the way down I had no problems with my transmission and also while I was there I pulled our boat to the river also with no problems. When I was on my way back to Tuscaloosa though I stopped about halfway to get some food. After getting back on the road I started noticing what felt like the transmission slipping each time I started going. I pulled off in a gas station to check the fluid, which was at good level. I did notice the tranny temp was at about 200 so I sat for awhile to let it cool down. I didn't have any problem after that. So my question is do I have a problem because I have taken it to two places and they say there is no code being shown?
At this point, I wouldn't go thumbing through the yellow pages looking for someone to rebuild it. Drive it and see if the symptoms return. If you don't have an auxiliary transmission cooler, add one!
X2 what moogvo said. I wouldn't worry about it until you feel it again. A lot of times it can be the computer crapping out. Of you end up taking it to a shop in Tuscaloosa look at the one down 10th by the old archebalds. Or there's one down frank thomas towards skyland
Yeah I know I should probably add a cooler, I'll wait and see if it does it again cause I have to drive to Mobile again at the end of the month
I'm not sure what what year and type of vehicle you have but something to consider is this... Does it have a "tow/haul" button? If so, were you using it? I've heard that transmissions can overheat if the "tow/haul" button is not being used when the vehicle is towing/hauling.
It's an '04 Sierra 2500 and I use it when I tow of course but this was when I was heading back up to school.
My old work truck had a similar issue. I took it back to the dealer to have it looked at since it was still under warranty. They looked at it and reflashed the "computer" as they told me and the problem was corrected. I talked to my brother in law who works at an Aamoco trans shop to see if that was normal. He said he had heard of it in the passed so I felt a little better. Since it was a company truck I wasn't aloud to mess with the truck at all so I am not sure which tranny it had. Just an FYI. Good luck.
Reflashed the computer? Did they say why or what was wrong. Mine definitely isn't under a warranty only my wallet
My 6spd does something similar although there's no rhyme or reason to it. Had it in to the dealer a few times and each time they couldn't replicate it. They thought they fixed it saying that the computer program was wrong and thought I may have had it programmed, which I hadn't. Still get a slip once in awhile and hard shifts every once in awhile. Not sure if you have the same tranny, or if it's the same issue but good luck and keep us posted.
They didn't say what was wrong. You know how the stealership is be vague and if that doesn't work be very vague!!

Redfield Proctor (June 1, 1831 – March 4, 1908) was a U.S. politician of the Republican Party. He served as the 37th Governor of Vermont from 1878 to 1880, as Secretary of War from 1889 to 1891, and as a United States Senator for Vermont from 1891 to 1908.
Proctor was a native of Proctorsville, a village named after his family in the town of Cavendish in Windsor County, Vermont. His father, Jabez Proctor, was a farmer, merchant, and prominent local Whig politician. He was raised by mother from age 8 after sudden death of father.
After graduating from Dartmouth College in 1851, Proctor returned to Proctorsville, where he became first a businessman, and later a lawyer. He earned his master's degree from Dartmouth College in 1854[1] and from Albany Law School in 1859.[2] He married Emily Jane Dutton in 1858, and moved to Boston, Massachusetts two years later. They had five children; Arabella G. Proctor Holden (1859 - 1905), Fletcher Dutton (1860 - 1911), Fanny Proctor (1863 - 1883) Redfield Jr. (1879 - 1957), and Emily Dutton Proctor (1869 - 1948). He was initiated into Delta Upsilon Fraternity as an honorary member by the Middlebury Chapter.
Civil War[edit]
Upon the outbreak of the American Civil War in 1861 Proctor returned to Vermont and enlisted in the 3rd Vermont Infantry, was commissioned as lieutenant and quartermaster, and repaired to the front. In July of the same year he was appointed on the staff of General William F. ("Baldy") Smith, and in October was promoted and transferred to the 5th Vermont Infantry, of which he was commissioned major. With this regiment he served nearly a year in the neighborhood of Washington and on the Peninsula. In October 1862, Major Proctor was promoted to colonel of the 15th Vermont Infantry,[3] and participated in the Gettysburg Campaign, but was stationed in the rear and did not participate in the battle.
After being mustered out of military service in 1863, Proctor initially returned to practicing law, this time in Rutland, Vermont. He entered into law partnership with Wheelock G. Veazey. In 1869, he entered business again, taking a job as a manager in the Sutherland Falls Marble Company. In 1880, this company merged with another to become the Vermont Marble Company, over which Proctor served as president. Six years later, the area containing the company's marble quarries, locally known as Sutherland Falls, was split into a separate town, called Proctor.
During these years, Proctor began his political career. In 1866 he became a selectman of the town of Rutland. In 1867 he represented his town in the state Legislature, serving as chairman of the committee on elections of the lower House. Again a member of the House in 1868, he served as a member of the committee on ways and means. Elected to the state Senate in 1874, he was chosen president pro tempore of that body.
In 1876 Proctor was elected the 29th Lieutenant Governor of the state, and in 1878 was nominated by the Republicans and elected Governor of Vermont. He remained active in state politics after stepping down as governor. He was delegate-at-large to the Republican National Convention in 1884, and also in 1888. In the latter year he was chairman of the Vermont delegation, and seconded the presidential nomination of Benjamin Harrison.
In 1888 the Vermont legislature unanimously recommended him for a cabinet position, and in March 1889, President Benjamin Harrison chose Proctor to be his Secretary of War.[4] At the War Department, Proctor made a mark with his managerial skill and reforming zeal, with which he modernized the Army and improved the living conditions of enlisted soldiers.
Proctor left the War Department in November 1891 to become a United States Senator, filling a vacancy caused by resignation. As a Senator he served as chairman of the U.S. Senate Committee to Establish a University of the United States from 1891 to 1893. He remained a Senator for the rest of his life,[5] and was an effective advocate in the Senate for high tariffs and the gold standard, as well as an influence on the military policies of the McKinley and Theodore Roosevelt administrations.
Proctor died in Washington, D.C. on March 4, 1908. He is interred at South Street Cemetery, Proctor, Rutland County, Vermont.[6] Two of Proctor's children, Fletcher D. Proctor and Redfield Proctor, Jr., served as Governors of Vermont.

Final Score: Troy 98, Arkansas State 84
Jonesboro, AK (SportsNetwork.com) - Tevin Calhoun poured in a career-high 35 points to lift the Troy Trojans to a 98-84 win over the Arkansas State Red Wolves in a Sun Belt conference shootout at the ASU Convocation Center.
Calhoun nailed 11-of-15 shots from the floor, including a 7-of-9 showing from beyond the arc for Troy (5-10, 1-2 Sun Belt), which snapped a two-game slide. Hunter Williams added 24 points, while hitting six shots from 3-point range and Antoine Myers tallied 20 points.
Kirk Van Slyke (27 points) led the way for Arkansas State (9-5, 2-1), which had a four-game winning streak put to an end. Brandon Reed added 23 points and Melvin Johnson III tacked on 17.
Troy went into halftime leading, 54-44, after hitting 57.6 percent from the floor, including 9-of-15 from beyond the arc, in the first half. Arkansas State shot 45.2 percent, but did hit 5-of-13 from 3-point distance.
After the break the Trojans shot above 50 percent once again, which was enough to hold off the Red Wolves, who improved to 53.8 percent shooting themselves, but fell short from 3-point range (15-6).
Arkansas State scored 25 points off of 17 Trojan turnovers. Troy had a 36-24 edge on the boards.

Gunsmoke is probably the best WESTERN TV SERIES produced. It is really undeniable and epic show that's why it lasted for 2 decades! James Arness and the rest of the whole cast and crew made this TV show a bomb! For those who haven't seen the complete episode I would like to share that I tried to purchase the whole DVD set of this show at http://www.dvdbooth.com/Western/GUNSMOKE_COMPLETE_DVD_COLLECTION/ , and thankfully, this seller did a great job. The DVDs I received are of good quality. Additionally, it has all the complete episodes! Now, I can just sit and relax while watching my all-time fave show! By all means GUNSMOKE is simply one of the best!!! Review posted on Saturday, June 8th 2013 at 4:33 am |

text: There's a new breakfast cereal being eaten by the people on Wall Street, which is now spreading across the country. It's called "Credit Crunch," and it was discovered by the same people now eating it. However, it has so many negative side effects, one might think it was imported from China. One of the side effects makes people believe they can buy a house with no money down and no money in the bank. Home builders supplied some of the ingredients and the banks supplied the rest to make this cereal, looks like it may be a toxic meal. The Food and Drug Administration doesn't even know it exists and the Fed chairman has chosen to ignore it. Let's hope he hasn't eaten any. Otherwise, he may do something really stupid. Isn't life just terrific in this once-great country, where everyone, at one time, had a brain and actually used it?

Why women?
Almost five times as many men hold elected office in the United States then women. The United States currently ranks 95th in the world in the number of women serving in their national legislatures. We are behind Mexico, China and Pakistan.
- Only 36 women have ever served as Governor across the United States.
- Women make up just 18% of the U.S. Congress and 24% of state legislatures.
- Thirteen states have no women representing them in the U.S. Senate or Congress
But perhaps even more significant than gender parity, women have a different understanding on needs in policy areas such as healthcare, transportation, education and jobs. Women in elected office bring new perspectives to issues, which increases the likelihood of conceiving and implementing effective and just solutions to social, economic, and environmental problems. After all, women represent over half of the world's skills, knowledge, and talents.
Emerge America Advisory Board member Dr. Jennifer Lawless serves as the director of the Women & Politics Institute at American University. She is a nationally recognized expert on women's involvement in politics. She and Richard L. Fox co-wrote the book, It Still Takes a Candidate: Why Women Don't Run for Office, Men Rule: The Continued Under-Representation of Women in U.S. Politics, and the more recent report, Girls Just Wanna Not Run: The Gender Gap in Young Americans' Political Ambition. She has also published numerous articles in political science journals and has issued several policy reports on the barriers that impede women's candidate emergence.
The only systematic, nationwide empirical account of the manner in which gender affects political ambition, Dr. Lawless' research shows:
- Women, even in the highest tiers of professional accomplishment, are substantially less likely than men to demonstrate ambition to seek elective office.
- Women are less likely than men to be recruited to run for office and are less likely than men to think they are qualified to run for office.
- Women are less likely than men to express a willingness to run for office in the future.
- This gender gap in political ambition persists across generations and over time.
- Despite cultural evolution and society's changing attitudes toward women in politics, running for public office remains a much less attractive and feasible endeavor for women than for men.
- Even with the emergence over the past ten years of high-profile women in politics, the gap between women and men's interest in running for office is the same today as it was a decade ago.
Emerge America is actively tackling the monumental problems exhibited by the under-representation of women. You don't have to look any further than the headlines to see that we need more women at the decision making table. Not only does this under-representation present contradiction to the principles of democracy, but women in elected office continue to demonstrate their ability to find effective solutions to the multitude of problems currently facing our country.

Who said that Hitler did not die in
the Berlin bunker in April 1945?
President Harry Truman asked Soviet leader Josef Stalin at the Potsdam
Conference in 1945 if Hitler was dead. Stalin simply said; "No!"
After a long and thorough investigation, Field Marshall Gregori Zhukov told
Josef Stalin;
have found no corpse that could be Hitler's."
12 October 1945, General Bedell Smith, Eisenhower's Chief of Staff, said;
"No human being can say conclusively that Hitler
is dead."
The Commanding General of the US Sector of Berlin, Major General Floyd Parks,
stated for publication that he was present when Marshal Zhukov stated that
Hitler might have escaped.
Thomas J. Dodd, the U.S. Chief Trial Counsel at Nürnberg, said;
"No one can say Hitler is dead."
Colonel W. J. Heimlich, Chief of U.S. Intelligence in Berlin, was in charge of
determining what happened to Hitler and after a thorough investigation, he
"There is no evidence beyond that of hearsay to
support the theory of Hitler's suicide. On the basis of present evidence,
no insurance company in America would pay a claim on Adolf Hitler."
Nürnberg Judge Michael Mussmanno wrote in his book 'Ten Days to Die'
"Russia must accept much of the blame that Hitler
did not die in May 1945."
In his book 'Frankly Speaking', Secretary of State Jimmy Byrnes wrote;
"While in Potsdam at the conference of the Big
Four, Stalin left his chair, came over and clicked his liquor glass with mine in
a very friendly manner. I asked what was his theory about the death of
Adolf Hitler and he replied - Hitler is not dead. He escaped either to
Spain or Argentina."
The magazine Diario Illustrade of Santiago, Chile published an article on
18 January 1948 in which it reported on an incident at Templehof Airfield on 30
April 1945. The writer was friends with a gunner in a Ju 52 that
had young SS troops for the defense of Berlin.
He reported this;
"During this refueling operation he was suddenly
elbowed in the ribs by his radio operator with a nod to look in a certain
direction. At about 100 - 120 meters he saw a sleek ARADO AR 234. He
and the radio operator saw, without any doubt whatsoever, standing in front of
the jet, their Commander in Chief, Adolf Hitler dressed in field-grey uniform
and gesticulating animatedly with some Party functionairres who were obviously
seeing him off. For about ten minutes whilst their plane was being
refueled the two men observed this scene and around 4:30pm they took to the air
again. They were extremely astonished to hear during the midnight military
news bulletin some seven and a half hours later, that Hitler had committed
An article published in August 1952 entitled 'Hitler did not die' was
"Adolph (sic) Hitler's fake suicide in Berlin
Bunker is now exposed as History's greatest hoax."
In 1952, US President Dwight Eisenhower said;
"We have been unable to unearth one bit of
tangible evidence of Hitler's death."
Captain Robert Thew (ONI then NSA) flatly stated;
"We (the intelligence community) knew that Hitler
did not commit suicide."
This 2nd Edition is jammed with photos, many never
seen before INCLUDING secret Reich charts and photos of the remains of the
German outpost island in the middle of the South Atlantic and the remains of the
German atomic research laboratory - in the wilderness of Argentina.

Oh yah - the government's DNA evidence.....remember, it was the government that

Lee Harvey Oswald. Anyone who believes any government on facts of such

diopter sights for swiss k31
I am thinking about getting a diopter sight for my k31. What I don't know is if they will really work for me since I am now 60 and have eyes that aren't what they used to be. I shoot the gun fairly well at 50 and 100 yards with my handloads but know with better sights I will do better. I shoot my scoped guns well with groups usually around 1/2 inch when I do my part.
Question. Should I get the St. Marie diopter sights or should I just scope it with a scout set up. Not planning on hunting with the gun though it is possible. It is a little long and heavy to be lugging up into tree stands and such. |

General Business Advice from CEOs
"What we wish all businesses owners would do"
Now that the CEOs have provided their insights on how to go about
seeking financing
and tips on how to increase your chances of getting
approved for a loan
, they now provide general business advice, garnered from years of experience working with small businesses.
1. Pay attention to your financial statements; if you don't have the experience of running a financial organization, hire someone who does
"Businesses must also understand that good bookkeeping is essential. You can easily speed up the process when meeting with a lender by simply being as prepared as possible with your business finances. If you don't have the expertise to do it yourself, hire a bookkeeper or accountant to manage your business' finances. Don't just consult your CPA at year-end to prepare your taxes."
- President and CEO of Gesa Credit Union, Christina Lethlean
"Take an active role in your business' financial organization – be close to the information and pay attention to the numbers. Many small businesses are busy with operational issues, building the business and what not, and may not be creating and monitoring financial reports and cash flows very regularly. Two times a year is not enough – try to do it on a monthly basis at the very least."
- President and CEO of San Francisco Federal Credit Union, Steven Stapp
2. Don't be solely fixated on growing revenues – pay attention to expenses too
"Many business owners are focused almost exclusively on growing revenues and end up underestimating the impact that expenses have on their bottom line. $1 saved on expenses directly impacts the bottom line 1:1. On the other hand, $1 of incremental revenue, after maybe a 25% profit margin (which is pretty high), only gives you $0.25 to your bottom line. I often see business owners neglecting their expenses, whether it's getting locked into providers with expensive contracts, or neglecting payroll and IT costs, spending too much on insurance and expensive policies."
- CEO of Newtek Business Services, Barry Sloane
3. Values matter
"Operate their companies with a set of core values that all employees can rally around and that existing clients and prospects will observe are followed consistently when they interact with the company. No matter what the economic climate or what the competitive environment, they will be recognized and rewarded for being professional, honest, respectful, responsive, innovative and helpful, passionate about the business, positive and upbeat, and demonstrate high integrity and ethical standards. Assuming the business case for offering the products and services is sound, even in tough times, the company will prosper and stand tall against competitors if their values are clear, they resonate, and they are deeply rooted in the culture."
- President and CEO of Community & Southern Bank, Patrick Frawley
4. Be goal oriented and think long term
"My overall advice is simple – it's what I tell everyone, from my kids to my colleagues to people I meet regularly: keep your eye on the prize. Spending too much time on each small step in front of you will cause you to stumble. Running a business is difficult, and if you're only focused on the minutiae, you'll fail or give up. Allow yourself to believe in the long-term goal and keep in touch with the original passion you felt for the business. It will help you to get through the tough times such as seeking a loan."
- President and CEO of Opportunity Finance Network, Mark Pinsky
5. Passion, passion, passion
"…maintaining a passion to do whatever it takes to see the business succeed. Knowing how to manage people is critical in the success of any business endeavor."
- Vice Chairman and COO of Bank of the West, Cynthia L. Blankenship
"Lastly – be passionate. At the end of the day, being a business owner is really tough. You will face many challenges and it often feels like all the forces are against you. To survive, you really must be passionate about your business."
- Chief Operating & Lending Officer, EVP of Craft3, Walt Postlewait
"Choose something you know well, are passionate about, and be prepared to spend a lot of long hours and sleepless nights for many years to come. Successful business owners typically work much harder than anyone, and consider their business their "baby."
- President and CEO of Corning Federal Credit Union, Gary Grinnell

Sinan Samil Sam has to postpone his comeback again. The two-time European heavyweight champion and former world amateur champion has been kept out of the ring for more than a year now by different illnesses and injuries. The Bull from Bosporus had planned to make his comeback in early October. Now Sam had to undergo surgery because of gall stones. The doctors said Sinan cannot train for another six weeks, says promoter Ahmet Öner. Its too bad because he desperately wanted to get back into the ring. But we cannot take any risks here. Sinan isnt a young man anymore. He needs his time for preparation; especially because we are looking for a world class opponent for his comeback.. Originally the reigning IBF intercontinental champion was meant to defend his title against Kali Meehan in October. There were also talks about a rematch of his European championship bout against Paolo Vidoz. In July 2008 Sam had beaten Vidoz by split decision. We will see what the IBF and the EBU will decide, states Öner. Sinan will be back in December and he will be ready for a big fight then but there is no chance that he will be back in action before that. Oliver-Gonzalez III title fight headlines A Night to Remember - 9/11 pro boxing show at Memorial Hall in Plymouth, MA PROVIDENCE (Aug. 11, 2009) A New England and Eastern Boxing Association junior featherweight title fight between former IBO World champion, Machine Mike Oliver, and former Guatemalan amateur star Castulo Gonzalez, headlines the September 11th A Night To Remember pro boxing show, presented by Jimmy Burchfields Classic Entertainment and Sports, Inc., in historic Plymouth Memorial Hall in Massachusetts. A Night To Remember is the third in a 4-fight arrangement, The Radisson Hotel Plymouth Harbor Fight Series, scheduled in 2009 at Plymouth Memorial Hall and promoted by CES. Plymouth is such a beautiful area, Burchfield said. Were encouraging people to go on a mini-vacation with their families. There are plenty of things to do whale watching, visit the Mayflower and Plymouth Rock, play golf at any of the surrounding nine courses as well as drop by at one of the great restaurants and shops in Plymouth. We kick off the weekend with a great pro boxing show, headlined by the Oliver-Gonzalez title fight. CES will also pay tribute to those who sacrificed their lives on that infamous 9/11 day eight years ago. Thats why this show has been named, A Night To Remember. We will never forget the many sacrifices and acts of bravery. The 8-round main event between Oliver (21-2, 7 KOs), a former USBA title-holder fighting out of Hartford (CT), and Lynn (MA)-based Gonzalez (9-8, 3 KOs) will be their third fight. Oliver stopped Gonzalez in the ninth round of their 2006 fight and this past June, in Boston, their fight was halted in the second round and ruled a no contest when Castulo suffered a cut over his eye from an unintentional head-butt. Local favorites will be showcased in 4-round bouts, including Stoughton (MA) super middleweight Mical Weisberg (3-0, 2 KOs) against Frankie Reed (0-2), and exciting Lynn (MA) bantamweight Isander Peachy Beauchamp (5-0-1, 2 KOs) versus Elton The Real Coolie Bully Dharry (2-4-1). Also scheduled to fight on the undercard in separate 4-round bouts are Harwich (MA) light heavyweight Paul Gonsalves (1-0, 1 KO), a 2-time Southern N.E. Golden Gloves champion; Barnstable (MA) heavyweight Jesse Barboza (1-0, 1 KO), a 3-time N.E. Golden Gloves champion; Marshfield (MA) welterweight Artie Lopes in his much-anticipated pro debut, and Lawrence (MA) native Alexis Santos (1-0, 1 KO). We saw the excitement Manny Lopes brought into the ring in Plymouth, Burchfield noted. Manny has been out of action with an injury but we expect the same type of performance from his little brother, Artie, in his pro debut. Tickets for A Night To Remember are priced at $35.00 (Bronze), $45.00 (Silver), $55.00 (Gold), and $75.00 (Jimmys Platinum Club). VIP tables of eight are also available. To purchase call CES (401.724.2253/2254) or go online at www.cesboxing.com. Contact CES (401.724.2253/2254/www.cesboxing.com) for more information. Doors open at 6:15 PM/ET, first bout at 7:15 PM/ET.

Released: Jul 01st, 2006
Running Time: 75
Director: Oscar Tripe
Company: Video-X-Pix
Rita Davis, Day Jason, Jennifer Jordan, Jamie Gillis, Ginger Snap, Others, Marc Stevens, Judith Hamilton, Sonny Landham
Critical Rating: AA 1/2
Genre: Golden Age
Here's another "classic" where the names on the packaging bear no relation, at least for the gals, to the names in the credits – and VXP even notes that director "Oscar Tripe" is really "Warren Evans," a vet who's done much better movies than this (notably Heaven's Touch and Beauty).
The plot has over-sexed Jennifer Jordan taking shrink Jamie Gillis' advice (after mish, spoon and doggie) to head for the Catskills to meet single guys – except Sonny Landham manages to detour the tour bus to his run-down farm, where the main activity is sex.
Jordan and "crotch girl" Ginger Snap account for the best boy/girl sex here, and Jordan has a good time with lezzie Judith Hamilton, but between needlessly repeated dialog and ham acting, even some relatively decent sexual encounters can't save this one.
Retailing: This ?74 east-coaster will be more interesting as a curiosity, so feel free to market it as such.

Digital money transfers now easily tracked
SAN FRANCISCO—A leading digital money transfer provider is introducing a text update service to money transfer recipients in the Philippines so they are notified when their money is available.
Earlier this year, Xoom Corporation (NASDAQ: XOOM) launched StatusTrak (https://www.xoom.com/track-transfer), a tracking center that provides Xoom customers with a variety of ways to track their money transfers. These methods include e-mail updates, SMS text message updates and 24/7 online and phone support.
"When our customers send money, they want the peace of mind of knowing that their loved ones have received it—which is why we introduced StatusTrak," says Julian King, Xoom's senior vice president of marketing and corporate development.
"Now we can notify their family and friends who are receiving money in the Philippines, by texting them to let them know that the money is ready for pickup, delivery or on its way to their bank account. This new feature makes sending and receiving money more convenient for both the sender and recipient, which is very reassuring to our customers," King adds.
The majority of remittances sent to the Philippines are picked up in cash by the receiving customer. In the past, the sender would have to relay the transaction number to the recipient before the money could be picked up. Now, with Xoom's convenient tracking service, the sender no longer has to relay the transaction number and alert the recipient that money is available to them. Xoom can automatically send a free text to the recipient.
"According to a report by Business Monitor International (BMI), Filipinos use SMS texts to stay in touch with their loved ones back home, and the number of Filipino mobile phone subscribers has grown to more than 100 million people," King saide. "The same report showed that Filipinos generate the largest SMS texts volume in the world, accounting for more than 10 percent of global SMS texts."

The Chhattisgarh government has opposed a new mining legislation, which stipulates licence allocation on a first-come-first-serve basis, stating that it is "dangerous for tribals" and would lead to loss of revenue for the State.
Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Raman Singh, who participated in the meeting of the National Development Council last week, said he has raised the issue with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh as well.
"We have opposed the new mining legislation and have raised the issue before the Prime Minister. It is dangerous for tribals," Mr. Singh said, debunking the bill which was hailed as pro-tribal by the Mines Ministry.
Mr. Singh said that his government is opposed to various sections of the bill, which would allegedly lead to loss of revenue for the State and not benefit the tribals either.
"The legislation provides the mining licence on a first-come-first-serve basis, whereas our view is to grant it to the applicant who offers maximum revenue-sharing and value-addition," Mr. Singh told PTI.
Chhattisgarh is one of the most mineral-rich States in India.
Furthermore, the State government should get a larger share of the profit made by mining companies, which have been allocated deposits in the State, he said.
"Why should only the trader be benefited from the mining block? There should be something like a 60:40 per cent profit-sharing model," he said. The royalty, which is one of the main sources of income for the State from mining, was not much of compensation, he said.
Attacking the Centre for its policy aimed at local area development, he said that even PSUs operating in the States spend a meagre amount towards Corporate Social Responsibility.
"PSUs like NMDC, Steel Authority of India Ltd and Coal India spend only up to 3 per cent of their profits for local area development, instead of norms of spending about 20 per cent," Mr. Singh, who leads the BJP government in the State, said.
Mr. Singh also sought a ban on iron ore exports, which currently attracts an export duty of 5 per cent and 15 per cent on iron ore fines and lumps respectively.
"We have raised the issue before the Prime Minister that exports of iron ore should be banned," he said.
He joins Karnataka Chief Minister B. S. Yeddyurappa, also heading a BJP government, in the demand for restricting exports of the mineral.
The Central Government is working on a new mining legislation, which is currently being reviewed by a 10-member Group of Ministers, to make mining allocation expeditious and transparent.

Masaoki Shiki
Biography of Masaoki Shiki
Shiki was born in Matsuyama on September 17, 1867 to Tsunenao, a low ranking samurai and Yae the daughter of Oharo Kanzan, a teacher at the feudal clan school. His real name was Tsunenori, but he was called Noboru as a child. Shiki, lost his father at the age of five and Kanzan took over his education and educated him in the Chinese Classics. He was very strict and conservative. Shiki was also influenced by his uncle , Kato Takusen, who later served as a diplomat and the mayor of Matsuyama.
Shiki was inspired by the Freedom and People's Right Movement, and in 1883 he went to Tokyo to become a politician, but while studying at the Imperial University, his interest in politics and philosophy gave way to a growing fascination with literature. He began writing fiction, but he gradually concentrated on the study and composition of haiku.
When he was twenty-two, he began coughing up blood and adopted the pen name Shiki, the name of a bird that, according to legend, coughs blood as it sings. He decided to devote himself to literature, withdrew from the university, and began working for the newspaper Nippon.
Shiki called for the reform of haiku and tanka, very brief forms of traditional poetry of seventeen and thirty-one syllables, respectively. Haiku, in particular, focus on nature and or simple occurrences of daily life, but the condensation required by the form can result in great expansiveness and depth. The traditional forms, however, had grown trite and formulaic over the years. Shiki recommended composition based on Shasei, or sketch from life, and interjected this principle of describing life just as it is into his prose writing, as well as his haiku and tanka. Until two days before his death, Shiki continued writing articles, including a series under the title Byo-sho Rokusyaku (A Six feet Sickbed), in spite of intense suffering from the spinal caries that had afflicted him since 1895. He died on September 19,1902.
During his brief life, Shiki attracted a number of followers, who were influenced by and carried on his sketch-from-life theory of literature. Through them, as well as in his own right, he left his mark on the history of modern Japanese literature.

Palmer Hayden
Palmer Hayden | |
Judging a scene he is painting (early 1930s).
Born | Peyton Cole Hedgeman January 15, 1890 |
Died | February 18, 1973 | (aged 83)
Nationality | American |
Known for | Painting |
Palmer C. Hayden (January 15, 1890 – February 18, 1973) was an American painter who depicted African-American life. He painted in both oils and watercolors, and was a prolific artist of his era.
Early life[edit]
Born on January 15, 1890, Hayden was originally called Peyton Cole Hedgeman. He was given the name Palmer Hayden by his commanding sergeant during World War I. He grew up in the town of Widewater, Virginia, and was a self-trained artist.[1] Hayden was one of the first in America to depict African subjects in his paintings.
Hayden began to draw as a small child, and was inspired to start drawing by his older brother. He enjoyed drawing landscapes of the surrounding countryside. Hayden had a dream of becoming a fiddle player, and told art historian Harry Henderson that he regretted all of his life not pursuing this dream. His family could not afford a fiddle, and he was simply too timid to follow his dream. Midnight at the Crossroads is an oil painting that reflects Hayden's harsh conflict between becoming a painter and becoming a fiddle player.[2]
Hayden moved to Washington DC to find work when he reached adolescence. He became an errand boy and porter. He started to draw fishing and sailboats, which he was around constantly during his workday. When he started to pursue an art career, he ran into his first encounters with racism. Hayden placed an ad in the local paper for an artist's assistant, but was rejected when he showed up for the interview because he was black.[3]
Hayden Later became a laborer for the Buffalo Bill Circus, then the Ringling Brothers Circus. Afterwards, he joined the army's black Company a, 24th Infantry regiment, and was stationed in the Philippines.[2] He later worked as a deliveryman at West Point Academy during WW1. He moved to Greenwich Village after he was discharged to pursue a career in fine arts. While pursuing his slowly growing art career, he worked as a postal clerk, janitor, and a variety of other part-time jobs. In 1925 and 1926, Hayden's work appeared at the Society of Independent Artists and his very first solo show was in April 1926 at the Civic Club. In 1937, Hayden created The Janitor Who Paints. Despite his artistic success and popularity in Europe, Hayden was still attacked by the press for his early life as a janitor who had little to no artistic training: "...for years, Palmer C. Hayden, a negro, has been cleaning houses and washing windows to make a living, and during his spare time has gone back to his room at 29 Greenwich Avenue to dabble in oil colors and paint coast and river scenes that appealed to him. Yesterday he received the first prize in fine arts from the Harmon Foundation…. He painted for the fun of it and not because he hoped to win any great appreciation of his efforts."[4]
As a young man, Hayden studied at the Cooper Union in New York City and also practiced independent studies at Boothbay Art Colony in Maine. [2] When Hayden was aged 36, he won $400 and a gold medal for his painting Schooners. He submitted five paintings total to the Harmon Arts Foundation. A New York Times headline reads, "Negro Worker Wins Harmon Art Prizes: Gold Medal and $400 Awarded to Man who Washes Windows to Have Time to Paint".[5] The Harmon Foundation and the commission on race relations of the federal council of churches, which was in charge of the foundation's awards program was making a rather dramatic statement by selecting Hayden's work for the award. The fact that such an award was given to a janitor with very little formal training emphasized how limited the opportunities were for a black man at the time. Also, the award launched his career as an artist.[2]
Much of Hayden's influences came from the environment around him. He enjoyed painting, and used his time in Paris for inspiration. Over his next five years in Paris, Hayden was very productive, trying to capture elements of Parisian society. On his return to America, Hayden began working for the United States government. His body of work mostly consists of oil and watercolor paintings, but also includes pen/ink drawings. Most art historians agree that his most influential or well-known works would be the ones which reflect African-American folklore. One of the best examples of this is his series of paintings called John Henry. Some people denounced his works as stereotypical and demeaning. Although Hayden is best known for his African folklorist artwork, his love for land and seascapes is overpowering. Many of his landscape paintings carry a nostalgic/religious significance.[6]
Much of Hayden's work after Paris focused on the African-American experience. He tried to capture rural life as well as urban backgrounds in New York City. Many of these urban paintings were centered in Harlem.
Hayden continued to make contributions to the artistic community until his death on February 18, 1973.

"It's not good news I'm afraid, Rachel, I'm sorry to have to tell you, you have cancer." It was exactly 11.30 when my doctor called me through. That sentence is all I remember about the appointment... One year later and I am loving life! I have not let cancer define me and I am finally getting my life back on track!
Walking around London this week, you'd be forgiven for thinking half the capital had been taken over by zombies, with tourists and locals alike standing stock still, gazing upwards with mouths agog. The reason? Not that strange orb of light in the sky we'd half forgotten even existed, but the tiny moving dots making their way up the Shard. On Thursday at 4.30am, six women from Greenpeace set out with a mission to climb London's latest addition to the skyline, with the sole intention of highlighting Shell's plans to drill in the Arctic...
Young people aren't work shy, they just need the experience, training and direction to get the jobs they're fighting for. Use everything at your disposal, nothing is destined or fated - that's naïve thinking - but make sure you stack the deck in your favour. Let employers know exactly what you can do, and grab every opportunity.
It upsets me when I hear statistics about how many young people are out of work - almost a million 16 to 25 year olds if you didn't know. And it's not just moral outrage. Yes, the figure is staggering and unacceptable. But what really bothers me is a nagging feeling that the longer this huge number is tossed around, the more normal it will seem - like part of the landscape.

Actually it's Starfox: Assault, but I plan on buying it, this will be heaven compared to Starfox Dinosaur Planet. God, that's by far the worst starfox made.
yes and Dark.....please dont ever bring that game up again. PLEASE.Originally Posted by Dark.
It definitely looks better than crap... although not as cool as pirates.
i dunno, I thought it was a pretty good game in actual play ability. But yeah, i guess you could say the dialogue was pretty corny.
