Perfect Perth
Trip Start
Sep 14, 2009
Trip End
Aug 16, 2010
Where I stayed
Judy, Mark and Ella's House
The next day Jude dropped Issy and me off at the campervan rental centre and we picked up our very own Limey Lizard and home for the next 24 days. The van was so christened as the logo is a gecko and Issy made a sculpture of one when she was at school in England and called that Limey lizard – it all makes sense really! However we decided to drop the van off and all go in to Perth city centre on the local bus, much more convenient. Downtown Perth is now a modern mix of shopping centres, coffee shops and restaurants. I say now as it all looks as though it has gone up in the last few years only. We visited the tourist office which was amazingly helpful for our planned adventure up the west coast for the next 3 weeks. We loaded up on goodies at the local Woolworths (Yes the names the same but it is stocked with wonderful food favourites like Waitrose is in the UK – very up market darling!) The Cawleys endeavoured to make a special meal for our wonderful hosts that evening washed down by a gorgeous bottle of Mark's best Argentinean wine (we were honoured guests!)
We ventured out further the next day to Kings Park which has a magnificent view of the bay and where you can see the joining of the Swan and Canning Rivers. There is an Anzac war memorial and glass walk way around a beautiful botanical water and plant garden. We all learnt about the native trees and vegetation of Western Australia. We drove to Cottisloe where there is a lovely beach but a little too cold for us warm weather Cawleys nowadays! We had a yummy lunch overlooking an idyllic sea view at the Blue Duck. Fremantle is famous for the Americas Cup being held there about 10 years agoand we wandered around the markets and pretty streets. Judy and Mark took us to their local pub that evening where we had a delicious gourmet food! Thanks for all your generosity Baldocks!

First author Sanny S.W. Chung of Columbia University Medical Center in New York and colleagues say the study found low doses of the drug stopped sperm production with no apparent side effects and normal fertility was restored soon after drug administration was terminated.
"We have seen no side effects, so far, and our mice have been mating quite happily," senior author Dr. Debra J. Wolgemuth of Columbia University Medical Center said in a statement.
However, to make the pill a reality, researchers need to show the compound is safe, effective -- and reversible -- when used for years, the researchers say.
"An additional benefit of our compound is that it can be taken orally as a pill, avoiding the injection process," Chung says.
"It also appears to have a very rapid effect on sperm production and an even more rapid recovery when fertility is desired."
The findings were presented at ENDO: The 93rd annual meeting of the Endocrine Society in Boston and published in the journal Endocrinology.

Clean and refreshing, this crisp wheat beer is a great beer to drink any time of year. Brewed in true American style, it is well-balanced, smooth and not hoppy or bitter. In fact, it's free from any German-styled bubblegum and clove flavors and aroma.

Strawberry honey wheat Review by Garrett
(Posted on 10/31/14)
I decided to make a strawberry honey wheat beer from this kit, as the experts from Midwest stated that this wheat beer is very neutral flavored. I started with 2lbs of fresh, sliced strawberries in the boil for 6o minutes. I used a boil bag to keep things neat. I added 1 lb of raw Tupelo honey at the last two minutes of the boil. After three weeks in the carboy, I kegged the recipe and used one third of a bottle of strawberry extract in the keg. It came out perfect, exceeding my expectations. The strawberry flavor was noticeable, but not fake or overpowering. It tasted fresh and subtle, just the way a fruited beer should taste. I am going to continue to use this recipe as a base for other fruited, wheat beers such as a citrus beer, or a pineapple wheat.
Great Beer Review by Jeff Portell
(Posted on 8/2/14)
This was my second brew attempt and it ended up turning out great. I ended up keeping this in the fermentor for a month, that ended up being about a week longer than I intended because evidently you need bottles in order to bottle your beer and all my others were tied up in a batch of Irish Red that still hasn't quite gotten better. After being forced to drink a few twelve packs of Sierra Nevada I bottled the beer and tried one about three to four days later just for fun. It was actually already delicious as far as I was concerned. A few off flavors but it was still young. So I let it sit a few more days and started drinking it a week after bottling. It's only gotten better with time, and I am not even at the two week mark yet. Really good beer with nice notes of bannana and some clove. I am actually enjoying one as I write this review.
Well balanced wheat Review by Bryan
(Posted on 2/8/14)
This kit makes a very good American style wheat, I added an extra ounce of hops during the boil. It is very well balanced, a nice, subtle sweet wheat flavor rounded out with a hint of hoppy bitterness. This is the first wheat beer I have enjoyed in a long time.
Great Wheat Beer to add flavor to Review by Dan
(Posted on 2/3/14)
I purchased this kit to use as the base for a pineapple wheat beer. I added 2 whole pineapples in the secondary fermentation and pure pineapple extract when I bottled. I tasted the first bottle yesterday and it is very tasty. I will be ordering this one again!
Exactly what is says but needs time Review by AP from NJ
(Posted on 1/19/14)
Wait on this one. I did one week in primary, 2 weeks in secondary and 3 weeks in bottle). Tried my first one at this time and it was so-so. Waited two more weeks and it was a lot better and more carbonated. Is was a shade darker than a golden brown and its smooth. I filled up a bunch of 22 oz bottles and will wait a little longer to really enjoy this. I appreciate all of the previous feedback on this one (it is consistent with what I experienced!)
First Time Brewer Review by Ed
(Posted on 1/11/14)
My first brew! I used white labs liquid ale yeast. During the initial fermentation I did not see any action in the air lock, but after a week I opened it seemed to have been fermentation. After transferring to the carboy I did see active fermenting. Bottling came up short of the expended number of bottles- 45 bottles filled. Also the beer was somewhat darker than expected. However the most important thing was it had great flavor and light enough for all beer drinkers. I would recommend this one!
Needed time Review by A Birdtown Brewer
(Posted on 12/23/13)
Added one pound of honey (made it boozy. 6 ABV) and some Hallertau hops at the end of the boil. Was a fantastic, ruby-red beer, but only when left to bottle condition for 2 months. Needed that time.
Great American Wheat. Review by dafozz
(Posted on 12/16/13)
I tried this kit because I wanted to do both an Apple Wheat and a Pumpkin Wheat to have for Halloween and Thanksgiving. I went with the Boundry Waters as my base due to the fact that American Wheats don't usually have the fruity overtones like their German and Belgian brothers. Other than turning out a little darker in color than what I was expecting, both brews turned out great. My tweaking consisted of using hops that are common to Apple and Pumpkin Ales rather than the hops that came with the kit. For the Pumpkin, I copied the recipe here at Midwest. It did come out a bit sweeter than I like but that can be backed off a bit on the next batch. For the Apple, pretty much the same using the Apple Ale recipe here on Midwest and using 8oz of Apple flavoring in the secondary. I also added half a pound of dextrose to boost the ABV which at first I thougt was a mistake as it gave the brew a strong cider almost viniger taste but fortunately after 5 weeks in the bottle that has melowed out to a nice sour apple overtone. I would recommend this kit as a stand alone or as a base to experiment with. I will probably be tweaking my recipes and making a few more batches even before next fall.
Worth the waite Review by The Chan Beer Depot
(Posted on 11/6/13)
This one did not turn me on at first (2 months in the bottle) but now that its been around for 6 months, geesh its really not to bad ..as they say. I usually go for the dark stuff but this wheat will be good for my summer, I just have to start to brew it early in the year and give it time to age..

The capture of serial killer Khalid Shaikh Muhammad is rightly hailed as proof that the United States can, in fact, "walk and chew gum at the same time" in fighting Al Qaeda while preparing to invade Iraq, regardless of what you hear from Democratic politicians and lefty bloggers who claim that supporters of war with Iraq are "OBJECTIVELY PRO BIN-LADEN." Some people (like Ross Douthat and Mickey Kaus) have argued that we should not have publicized Muhammad's arrest, since the announcement gives terror operatives whose identities he (or his laptop) might reveal time to run for cover. But personally, I tend to see it another way: announcing his capture will make it harder to catch these guys, yes, but in the short run it should ruin their operational capacity -- which is more important, really. We know who they are, we'll find them eventually. In the meantime, they are back on their heels at just the moment when they'd love to strike us and may have been planning things.
Also, how completely tone-deaf to US and non-Arab opinion generally are these guys if they think it's a good idea to hit Pearl Harbor?
Finally, the NY Times points out that Muhammad's governing obsession is with Israel. More proof that the security of the U.S. and eradication of anti-Israel terrorism are really not separate issues.

Lawmakers in the US state of Texas are hoping to repeal the state's ban on equal marriage, despite strong opposition.
A constitutional amendment was made in 2005, when voted on by Texans, which excluded same-sex couples from the definition of marriage.
At every single legislative session since then, Representative Garnet Coleman, has introduced a bill seeking to have another vote on the issue. This legislative session, Coleman has a colleague in the Senate who is introducing a companion bill.
Representative Coleman said that he hoped a national evolution of US opinions on marriage equality would mean his colleagues would authorise another vote on the issue, reports UPI.
"What better time to start to repeal the ban on same-sex civil unions and marriage than the present?" he asked. "It's not whether [the repeal] happens, it's when it happens."
Despite polls suggesting for the first time in 2011 that over half of Americans supported equal marriage nationally, the numbers were much lower in Texas.
The Gallup poll found that 36% of Texans supported lesbian and gay couples getting married and 33% supported civil unions.
A report from November 2012 suggested that there has been a new, and rapid shift in support of equal marriage in the US, except in some southern states, such as Texas and several other nearby southern states which had remained opposed to the idea of same-sex marriage.
Opponents to equal marriage gave opinions on the matter, saying they thought it was not a possibility for the state. The state Legislature is Republican-controlled.
Jonathan Saenz of the conservative group, Texas Values, said: "People are entitled to it if they want to have the discussion, but it is not going to happen… The numbers aren't there in the [Texas] House or the Senate."

To think is this is not embarrassing?
(156 Posts)Ignoring all the background because I can't move until we 'win' a council house, so I can't just leave.
Both dds at a party, which I assume was planned for weeks. I was told about it yesterday. I was at work at teatime, essay writing, dog walking and dryer fixing at lunchtime.
Dd2's only pair of tights that match her dress have a hole in the crotch, only the crotch. |I only noticed this hole when I was getting her dressed. Her dress covers the crotch. She has clean knickers on, the same colour as the tights. Had she had other tights I would have gave her them, but she doesn't, so she wore the holey ones. There are no holes in the leg, only the crotch. She is 6 so she is not inclined to go around with her skirt above her head.
She has told DH about the rip on the way to the party. He is 'mortified' and 'feels like he can't go now' I am 'not a proper a mother' and 'want our children to be scruffy' his family will 'all be talking about us'
AIBU to think he needs to get a fucking grip and stop allowing our children to be near his family if they'd honestly make dd2 feel bad about a hole in some tights (which they wouldn't)?
I'm a grown woman and still wear tights with a hole in the crotch (not bought that way)!
Your DH needs to fuck the fuck off. He must be so wearing.
Yanbu of course he needs to get a grip.
If he's that mortified, perhaps he could mend them or buy more. I see no problem.
I am 22 and I have tights and legging with holes in the crotch which I still wear They are not on show amd I tend not to flash often
Your DH is being a bit dramatic (and rude)
I have some leggins with a small hole in the leg, I just wear them with the hole at the back, if there are no other clean. No-ones made me feel bad about it yet.
Yanbu your DH is being a drama llama.
None of you have any self respect according to DH
He's a twat. I just hope he hasn't given dd2 a complex about it. I normally ban them from family parties from his side because his does this all the time. It used to be about the fact that their shoes were not the exact shade of their dress, now both children obsessively collect shoes, especially dd1.
This is their cousins birthday party though, so they had to go.
Even leaving him won't stop this. I can't just stop them seeing him completely. I might just drop them off nekkid and leave him to dress them when he has them
Id let him dress their selves. Think tutu, wellies, cape, firemans hat and pj top.
Which his head explode
As someone currently wearing holey-crotches tights, fuck you Dooin's DH How fucking dare you suggest I have no self respect. Get a fucking grip.
This has made me unreasonably angry.
I not have holes in my leggings but only because I d a good sewing session this week as the holes were getting too big to ignore
Don't all your dh's trousers and pants have holes in he crotch area? , oh the shame.
This happens to me all the time! I'm 5"10 with a 30" inside leg and no matter what fucking bastard size of tights I buy the crotch NEVER comes up anywhere near my actual crotch. It just seems like the crotch to waist bits are far longer rather than the legs. I spend all day trying to pull the fuckers up in that special classy, dignified loose tights way and they end up ripping. I have midget legs for my height FGS and they still don't fit!
Your DH should be made to wear a pair for a day and see how long it takes for him to rip them.
You're married to a man who says you're not a proper mother??
I often let dd 5 dress herself when the once a month wonder is taking her out. Especially if I know they are going out somewhere. I tell her how cool she looks and then give him the biggest grin when I wave her off.
Makes me chuckle!
FFS Doin,how many times do you need to be told to kick his miserable,twatty skanky ass out?I hope that your bid on the house is successful.
No self respect? Fuck off
I respect my children enough to not try and make them feel small by picking at unimportant non-issues, and I have enough self respect to know a hole in my tights that NOONE CAN SEE isn't worth getting myself tied up in knots.
Dooin, I don't know how you do it.
If your DH is reading this then please know that you are a social cunt. (The worse kind)
OP, leave him.
I feel sorry for you, you are married to someone who doesnt respect you and thinks you are not a "proper" Mother - whatever that may mean
Your husband's a massive twat. My tights have a hole in the crotch. So fucking what.
As long as your kids are clean an healthy it's none of anyone else's business.
Oops, your DH is a social cunt, not you OP
When I was a child my mum made us wear two pairs of knickers with our tights, one under and one over, to stop them falling down
It never worked, the second pair of knickers just fell down with the tights. Maybe I should have made dd2 put extra knickers on?
What a complete tool he sounds op.

Science Digest
Cover of the November 1955 issue of Science Digest in its original digest-sized format.

Science Digest was a monthly American magazine published by the Hearst Corporation from 1937 through 1986.
Science Digest was first published in January 1937 in an 8 x 5 inch digest size format of about 100 pages.[1] Edited by G.W. Stamm., it was targeted at persons with a high school education level.[2] It contained short articles about general science often excerpted from other publications in the style of Reader's Digest.[2]
In November 1980 the magazine was expanded to an 11 x 8 inch glossy page format with full-length articles and color pictures targeted at a college educated reader.[1] The new version was largely the creation of its then editor Scott DeGarmo. It was issued bi-monthly with circulation of about 500,000 copies. At first it tended to favor breathless cover lines, and often turned to pseudoscience topics, including spontaneous human combustion and UFOs. Unable to compete with more serious publications, such as Discover and Omni, the magazine ceased publication in 1986.
The magazine briefly re-appeared as a quarterly in 1987; returning to the original small "digest" format, with many short articles and snippets of science information. This final relaunch lasted only one year.
Omega Science Digest[edit]
An Australian edition under the title Omega Science Digest began in January 1981 and had a circulation of 40,000.[1] Omega, unlike its American counterpart, carried two original fiction stories per issue.[1]

Pathways to Prosperity: Meeting the Challenge of Preparing Young Americans for the 21st Century
February 22, 2011
How can America effectively educate the "forgotten half" of her
children (non-college-bound students)? In Pathways
to Prosperity, a team of researchers at the Harvard Graduate School of
Education view current drop-out trends as evidence of the failure – not of the
quality of education – but of the "college-for-all" standard currently embraced
in the US. Rather than calling for higher standards, higher graduation rates,
and overall increased performance, the report labels the high bar
(college-for-all) flawed, simply because students are currently not meeting it
(i.e. obtaining a bachelor's or associate's degree). They admit that students
need some sort of post-secondary certification to obtain a job with a
middle-class salary, but assert that vocational education would be much more
practical and appealing than a traditional college for many students. The
researchers subsequently call for a massive vocational education initiative guided
by the following principles:
- Multiple pathways: Middle and high schools offer
vocational training, especially in-workplace training, in order to help
students earn a career/technical training certificate. - An expanded role for employers: Businesses partner
with schools to provide middle and high school students with vocational
training. - A new social compact with youth: The government
requires students to achieve certain academic outcomes (high school graduation,
etc.), providing "as much support as necessary" along the way. If students fail
to meet the requirements, they may face consequences, such as the loss of
social benefits.
Interestingly, the researchers consistently lift up northern and
central European nations' education systems as ideals in career and technical
training, but they allot very little ink to Japan and Korea, which have adopted
college-for-all models and lead the world in high school graduation rates.
Speaking of college for all, the researchers need to look no further
than Geoffrey
Canada and the Harlem Children's
Zone to see that holding high expectations works (to the tune of a 90%
college admission rate),even
in the most economically challenged communities in the US. Certainly,
vocational education is important, as the authors of Pathways to Prosperity indicate, but the college-for-all model is
more practical than they admit.

Volcán San Cristóbal is the highest volcano in Nicaragua at 1,745 m (5,725 ft). Located near to the northwest corner of the country, it forms a majestic backdrop to the city of Chichigalpa, Chinandega. It is also among the most active volcanos in Nicaragua, erupting frequently (if gently).
San Cristóbal is part of a 5-member volcanic complex that bears the same name. Chonco lies 4 km to the west, and Moyotepe 4 km to the north east. Joined to the volcano's eastern flank is Volcán Casitas, which buried a village with a catastrophic landslide in 1998. The scars from said landslide are still visible today. Finally, La Pelona is located on the eastern end of the complex.[1]
Contents |
San Cristóbal is the youngest volcano in its complex. It is a nearly symmetrical stratovolcano, rising in a distinctive cone shape. The SW slope is the longest, and the crater rim on that side rises 140 m above the NE end due to prevailing trade winds that distribute tephra to the SW.[1]
The crater is 500x600 m in size. While the volcano was at one point covered in tropical forests, the large quantities of gas and smoke that it emits constantly have killed off much of the vegetation.[2]
San Cristóbal remains quite active, continuously expelling copious amounts of gas and smoke. As recent as September 2009, it was reported that ash was falling in nearby towns [3]

Online learning: Wave of the future or demise of the academy?
SALT LAKE CITY — Trevor Hansen plops down in front of his small oak desk, flips open his silver laptop and starts emailing his classmate about a project due Monday.
There's a motocross poster on the wall, a snowboard in the corner and a framed picture of him pushing his niece on a swing on the top of his desk.
The 25-year-old Salt Lake City resident just got home from an eight-hour workday and will be leaving for a softball tournament in about an hour, but he has a little bit of time to work on his online class.
"It's really convenient," Hansen says of finishing his bachelor's in finance degree online. "I don't really like going to class, and I wanted to work more."
Over the last several years, more and more students are taking the same route. More than 100,000 college students in Minnesota are now taking classes online. From 2005 to 2010, the number of Utah public college students taking classes online jumped by about 15,000, according to Utah System of Higher Education Data. And innovators like Henry J. Eyring, BYU-Idaho administrator, and Clayton M. Christensen, Harvard Business professor, authors of the new book, "The Innovative University: Changing the DNA of Higher Education from the Inside Out," say that to be competitive in the future, colleges need to embrace high-quality online courses.
Yet some students and professors are still leery of online classes.
Hansen is afraid that a number of employers may not view an online education the same as they do a traditional college experience. Other students like Jarom Moore of Orem say they don't like the format of online classes. And there are professors nationally and in Utah who refuse to teach classes online, calling them "inferior."
Elayne Clift, a writer, journalist and adjunct professor currently living in Vermont, said she taught an online class a couple years ago and vowed never to do it again.
"All the joy of teaching and the deep importance of learning cannot happen very readily in an online environment," Clift said. "I think it is part of the demise of the academy, part of the crisis of higher education."
Clift, who has taught college writing courses since the late 1980s in schools like Yale, Emerson and Payap University in Thailand, said online courses are part of the "dumming-down" of academia and that she saw more plagiarism happen when she taught her online class.
Yet schools across the country are finding ways to make online classes more interactive and are finding that many students prefer it.
BYU-Idaho launched a new online learning program late last month called Pathway, which is geared toward 18- to 30-year-olds who have not earned an associate's or bachelor's degree but are interested in doing so. Students are eased into the college experience with a light load of online classes the first year and a weekly study group with the other 15 to 20 students at their location, said Andy Cargal, spokesman for the university. There are currently about 22 sites around the nation where the Pathway Program is offered and two international locations. The university plans to expand the program by about 10 sites each year.
Weber State University, which had the most public college students taking online courses in the state as of 2010 with over 7,150 enrolled, now offers two-hour professional development courses twice a month to help professors develop better online courses, said Gail Niklason, associate of continuing education at the university. They learn about incorporating video and other interactive tools. She said 90 full-time faculty members out of about 480 have been through the training over the last five years.
Many organizations warn students to research their classes before taking them, especially if the university is online only. Several lawsuits have been filed over the last several months against for-profit colleges, which often have a big online base, over best practices and validity.

Domestic violence suspect puts IMS, Island Park into 'modified lockdown'
A "modified lockdown" took place at Islander Middle School and Island Park Elementary earlier this morning in response to news that the Mercer Island Police Department was searching for a suspect involved in a domestic violence case. The suspect was reportedly carrying a knife.
During a modified lockdown, students are locked in classrooms with their teachers for security. Instruction, however, continues as normal.
The district posted news of the lockdown on its Web site.
"At 10:45 this morning, the district was notified that the suspect was seen at the North Mercer Park and Ride and has likely left the Island; consequently, MIPD notified schools to return to normal operations," the notice read.
The lockdown was lifted at 11:45 a.m. when Superintendent Gary Plano was notified that the suspect had been apprehended and booked into the King County Jail. The Reporter will add to this story as news unfolds.

Krapea.com is the website for the Swedish furniture manufacturer Krapea, a parody of IKEA, in Grand Theft Auto IV. The website depicts some of the products available at Krapea stores, as well as other information about the company. At the very bottom of the web page, "KRAPEA" is spelled, but the K and A are half-missing, making it look like RAPE. Also, KRAPEA sounds similar to "crappy", in which the furniture is made by a type of soft board material that break and rot easily. A running joke on the website is that the Krapea people frequently talk about how they laugh at other people's misery, how melancholy they are, and how they live in a country where the sun doesn't shine for six months.

Publication Type: Peer Reviewed Journal Publication Acceptance Date: April 20, 2014 Publication Date: May 10, 2014 Citation: Chaiyadee, S., Jogloy, S., Songsri, P., Singkham, N., Vorasoot, N., Sawatsitang, P., Holbrook Jr, C.C., Patanothai, A. 2014. Soil moisture affects fatty acids and oil quality parameters in peanut. Journal of Plant Production Science. 7:81-96. Interpretive Summary: Drought reduces yield of peanut, but its effect on oil quality (oleic and linoleic fatty acid compostion) is unknown. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of drought on oil quality. Six genotypes with varying levels of drought tolerance were grown under three levels of drought stress for two years. Drought stress resulted in improved oil quality due to an increase in oleic acid and a reduction in linoleic acid levels. Peanut genotypes with different levels of drought resistance displayed similar results in oil quality under drought conditions. Technical Abstract: Drought affects yield of peanut, but its effect on oleic and linoleic acids that influence its oil quality of peanut genotypes with different levels of drought resistance has not been clearly investigated. Therefore, the aims of this research were to determine whether soil water levels could affect oil quality by changes in fatty acid compositions of peanut, and to investigate the changes in oil characters in peanut genotypes with their potential drought resistance under different water regimes. Field experiments were conducted in split-plot designs with four replications during dry season for two years (2003/04 and 2005/05). Three water regimes [field capacity (FC), 2/3 available soil water (2/3 AW) and 1/3 available soil water (1/3 AW)] were assigned as main-plots, and six peanut genotypes were assigned as sub-plots. The data were recorded at maturity for fatty acid compositions and % oil. The data were recorded at maturity for fatty acid compositions and % oil. Seed samples were analyzed for % oil by Soxtec System HT, and fatty acid composition were analyzed by gas liquid chromatography. Differences among water regimes and peanut genotypes were significant for oleic and linoleic acids content and their ratio (O/L ratio), unsaturated to saturated fatty acid ratio (U/S ratio) and iodine value (IV). Genotype x water regime interactions were also significant for all characters. Drought improved the oil quality by significant increase in oleic acid and O/L ratio, and reduced the linoleic acid, IV and U/S ratio. Peanut genotypes with different levels of drought resistance displayed similar tendency in fatty acid characters under drought conditions. |

Background free CARS imaging by local phase detection
Jurna, M. and Korterik, J.P. and Otto, C. and Herek, L. and Offerhaus, H.L. (2009) Background free CARS imaging by local phase detection. In: Multiphoton microscopy in the biomedical sciences IX. Proceedings of SPIE, 7183 . SPIE, p. 718310. ISBN 9780819474292
Restricted to UT campus only 3MB |
Abstract: | In this article we show that heterodyne CARS, based on a controlled and stable phase-preserving chain, can be used to measure amplitude and phase information of molecular vibration modes. The technique is validated by a comparison of the imaginary part of the heterodyne CARS spectrum to the spontaneous Raman spectrum of polyethylene. The detection of the phase allows for rejection of the non-resonant background from the data. The resulting improvement of the signal to noise ratio is shown by measurements on a sample containing lipid. |

The worst is over for the high street, says Next boss Lord Wolfson
The worst phase of retailers going bust is over, Next boss Lord Wolfson said on Thursday.
Speaking as the fashion giant posted bumper Christmas sales that pushed its shares to a record high, his words will bring a glimmer of hope to a despondent high street bracing itself for a tough 2013.
Last year saw 194 retailers go under, according to Deloitte, with household names such as Comet, Clinton Cards and tent seller Blacks all entering administration.

The accountancy firm warned that a number of flagging retailers would not last until the spring.
But Tory peer Lord Wolfson said: 'I suspect that the worst has passed us.
'In our sector, particularly in clothing, I don't anticipate any of the major players leaving the market this year.'
