Labconco Purifier Class I Safety Enclosures, Labconco 1.2 m (4") Wide Models is a reliable and dependable addition to the Labconco Laboratory Furniture and Biosafety Cabinets family of products. Combining top-notch and uncompromising quality with an affordable price, the Labconco Purifier Class I Safety Enclosures, Labconco 1.2 m (4") Wide Models 3980401/ 82018-164 can fulfill your laboratory needs while still offering a great value for the money.
Product Category Description:
Purifier* Class I Safety Enclosures, Labconco*
These enclosures provide practical, economical protection of operator and environment for applications involving biohazardous material and toxic particulates. They are suitable for work with agents that require Biosafety Level 1, 2, or 3 containment but which require no product protection from contaminants in the room air. Other applications may include preparing media, weighing powders, and other general microbiology procedures.
During operation, room air is drawn from around the operator, through the work area, and into the HEPA filter. A 99.99% efficient HEPA filter removes all particles >=0.3µm. The patented Clean-Sweep* airfoil allows air to sweep the work surface, while the patented rear baffle with zones of perforations promotes horizontal laminar airflow to maximize containment. An upper containment sash foil bleeds air into the enclosure to direct contaminants away from the operator's breathing zone, and side-entry airfoils also enhance containment. The upper dilution air supply introduces room air at the top of the sash to dilute concentrations in the upper chamber and bathes the back of the sash with clean air. A front-mounted Minihelic* pressure gauge helps determine filter loading, and an optional built-in Guardian* airflow monitor continuously monitors airflow and alerts the user to velocities outside of the preset range through LED and alarm indicators. Air can be exhausted back into the room to conserve conditioned room air or outside with the addition of a remote blower and exhaust adapter. All contaminated air ducts are under negative air pressure, which is an intrinsically safe design.
The upper cabinet and back are constructed of corrosion-resistant, epoxy-coated steel. The clear sash is 0.6cm (1/4") thick safety glass angled at 10° for low glare and easy viewing. It pivots from an operating position of 24cm (97/16") to a loading and cleaning position of 50.8cm (20"). A speed control regulates the variable speed built-in blower, and a low discharge volume reduces cross currents and provides quiet operation. In addition, side wiping seals help contain contaminants. The safety glass side panels provide a naturally illuminated work area, and each enclosure comes with standard fluorescent lighting. A UV light aids in surface disinfection when the enclosure is unattended. Front-mounted light and blower switches are convenient to reach, and utility ports allow passage of tubing and electrical cords.
Base stands and solid epoxy dished work surfaces (recommended for operation) are available. Telescoping stands are made of durable 4.4cm (13/4") thick, tubular, glacier white epoxy-coated steel and are adjustable in height from 69.9–85.1cm (271/2–331/2") in 2.5cm (1") increments. Stands with fixed feet come with leveling feet for use on uneven floor surfaces. Stands with casters feature 12.7cm (5") diameter toe-locking casters with bearings for quiet operation. The accessory shelf for telescoping base stands hooks onto the lower rear horizontal cross member of the stand and provides space for miscellaneous accessories. Hydraulic stand height is infinitely adjustable from 64.8–85.1cm (251/2–331/2"). Height adjustments can be made any time on hydraulic stands. Caster kit adds mobility to the hydraulic lift base stand. The utility shelf kit (82010-714) has three epoxy-coated steel shelves that can hold a printer, utensils, and other miscellaneous supplies. The bottle holder accommodates squirt bottles or other round containers, and has a 7.6cm (3") diameter opening. Tissue holders allow wipers to be dispensed in an upside down position. They attach to the rear baffle perforations of the enclosure. Trace odor carbon filters for organic solvents, formaldehyde, ammonia, and amines trap non-volatile odors and vapors from samples or minute chemical quantities. These are installed atop the enclosure.
Each enclosure is biological containment verified per NSF Standard Number 49 Personnel Protection Test and ASHRAE 110-1995 conformity tested. The 115V enclosures are ETL and ETL-C listed with CAN/CSA C22.2 No. 1010.1 conformity. The 230V models are CE marked.
Ordering Information: Manufacturer's one-year warranty on parts and labor. Base stand and work surface (recommended for operation) are not included.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - In a sharp turnaround, Republican John McCain has opened a 5-point lead on Democrat Barack Obama in the U.S. presidential race and is seen as a stronger manager of the economy, according to a Reuters/Zogby poll released on Wednesday.
It seems that the public is starting to reject the flim-flam Obama rhetoric and opt for someone with a record of accomplishment and who is actually capable of leading through the tough times ahead. I am surprised.

Shingles can strike at any time
Dan Bates / The Herald
April Wolanek keeps an eye on sons Joshua, 2 (left), and Micah, 1, on the family's nine wooded acres near Arlington. Wolanek, a nurse practioner at Cascade Valley Hospital's Granite Falls clinic, had a case of the shingles when she was pregnant with Joshua.
Dan Bates / The Herald
During a walk in the woods, Monday, April Wolanek, 38, stops on the trail with her three sons, Nathan, 10 (left) Joshua, 2, and Micah, 1. April came down with shingles when she was 36.
"It was a discomfort. A burning, kind of a tingling, when I leaned up against my desk," she said.
"I didn't think anything of it until I got a rash a couple days later. Then it was like, 'Oh, you've got to be kidding.'"
Wolanek, who's an Advanced Registered Nurse Practicioner at Cascade Valley Hospital's Granite Falls Clinic, knew the symptoms of the shingles virus from a clinical standpoint, so she didn't consider herself a candidate.
Seniors or those with weakened immune systems are susceptible to infection. She was 36 and healthy.
She asked a colleague who's a doctor for a second opinion. Sure enough, it was shingles.
It was a baffling diagnosis at the time. It turns out, though, that Wolanek was immune compromised.
She didn't know it then, but she was pregnant.
In pregnancy, "the immune system is down. It is working toward all these other things," she said.
Most pregnant women do not develop shingles. More common conditions lowering the immune guard are HIV, chronic health issues, cancer, diabetes and heart disease.
Wolanek, now 38, has given birth to two healthy children since the outbreak of shingles and had no relapse.
She had a mild case. Other people aren't so lucky. For some, the pain is severe.
Shingles is chickenpox with an attitude.
It is caused by the chickenpox virus, but instead of cute little itchy spots it leaves a trail of blisters and wicked nerve pain.
It has been described as feeling like being burned by a sharp hot poker. A creepy thing that makes the hairs stand up on the back of your neck. The weirdest feeling ever. It causes oddities such as a drooping eyelid and facial paralysis.
When it strikes, people often think something is horribly wrong. It's horrid, but not fatal, though it might seem like it at the time.
About 1 million people in the U.S. get shingles every year. A third of all adults will get it in their lifetime. Children also can get it if they've had chickenpox. Shingles isn't contagious, but contact with the virus can cause a person to develop chickenpox for the first time, which can later lead to shingles.
Shingles gets its start from chickenpox, once a disease rite of childhood. The chickenpox vaccine for children does more than nip the pox in the bud.
"You cannot get shingles if you never had the chickenpox," Wolanek said. "That's why it is important to vaccinate the kids."
A case of chickenpox lets in the varicella-zoster virus. Once in, it never leaves. The virus moves into the nerve cells and lays dormant. It can languish forever or become reactivated by an immune trigger or age into shingles.
A shingles vaccine, which decreases the risk and severity, is recommended for those 60 and over. Some insurance companies will pay for the $200-plus shot after age 50.
Kids get the chickenpox shot and seniors get the shingles shot ... so what about all the presumably healthy people in between?
Know the symptoms: Pain, tingling or burning on one side. Then red patches emerge with a single stripe of tiny blisters. It follows a classic pattern defined by a dermatone, an area mainly supplied by a single spinal nerve root.
"It's a unilateral rash following a dermatone. It doesn't cross midline. It's as if someone marked with a Sharpie to follow that dermatone," Wolanek said. "If it's on both sides of your body, it's not shingles."
Other symptoms might include abdominal pain, fever, chills, general ill feeling, genital sores, headache and drooping eyelid.
Act fast: Early treatment with antiviral drugs can shorten the course and agony.
"It kills the virus and sends it back into remission," Wolanek said.
Hope for the best: The pain eventually will get better.
Brace for the worst: You can only get chickenpox once. Shingles can come back for more.

Check back regularly for news, coverage, and announcements about MAVA.
Edimer Pharmaceuticals, a biotechnology company focused on developing an innovative therapy for the rare genetic disorder X-linked Hypohidrotic Ectodermal Dysplasia (XLHED), announced it has secured $18 million in Series B financing. The lead investor was New Enterprise Associates (NEA), with additional new investor Sanofi-Genzyme BioVentures, and previous investors Third Rock Ventures and VI Partners.
Edimer plans to use the proceeds from this financing to advance the later stage clinical development of EDI200, the company's novel, proprietary, recombinant protein being developed for the treatment of XLHED. If fully developed and approved, EDI200 will be the first drug to treat the symptoms of this ultra-rare genetic disorder. In addition, Edimer will explore additional opportunities to leverage its expertise and leadership position in ecotdysplasin biology. Edimer is currently looking for women that know or suspect that they are carriers of XLHED who are pregnant or thinking of expanding their families. Male infants born with XLHED may be eligible to participate in the Phase 2 clinical study.
"We are thrilled to add NEA and Sanofi-Genzyme BioVentures to our investors. Both organizations are particularly committed to helping build transformative companies dedicated to developing treatments and ultimately cures for orphan diseases," said Neil Kirby, Ph.D., President and CEO of Edimer. "Initiation of the neonate study represents a significant accomplishment for Edimer, our scientific collaborators and the patient foundations. This collective effort and support was instrumental in achieving our success to date."
"We are pleased to provide our capital and expertise to help further accelerate the exciting progress Edimer is making toward potentially offering a breakthrough therapy for infants affected by XLHED," said David Mott, a General Partner at NEA. "With this financing in place, Edimer is poised to begin testing its novel therapeutic in affected newborns in the near future, and to offer the first real potential progress against this serious genetic disease."
"We are very pleased to join Edimer's investor syndicate," said Bernard Davitian, Vice President and Managing Director, Sanofi-Genzyme BioVentures. "The team at Edimer has done an impressive job advancing EDI200 as a treatment for XLHED. We look forward to working more directly with them as they progress the drug candidate through the next phase of development."
In connection with the financing, David Mott will join the Board of Directors. In addition, Board observers from NEA, Third Rock Ventures, Sanofi-Genzyme and VI Partners will add to the considerable orphan drug expertise already represented on the Board.

At a Glance
Why Get Tested?
To determine risk of developing heart disease
When to Get Tested?
As part of a regular health exam with a cholesterol test or lipid profile; at least once every five years in adults; children should have a lipid profile screening at least once between the ages of 9 and 11 and then again between the ages of 17 and 21.
Sample Required?
A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm or from a fingerstick
Test Preparation Needed?
If this test is to be performed as part of a complete lipid profile, fasting for 9-12 hours typically will be required; only water is permitted. Follow any instructions you are given.
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
High-density lipoprotein (HDL cholesterol, HDL-C) is one of the classes of lipoproteins that carry cholesterol in the blood. HDL-C consists primarily of protein with a small amount of cholesterol. It is considered to be beneficial because it removes excess cholesterol from tissues and carries it to the liver for disposal. Hence, HDL cholesterol is often termed "good" cholesterol. The test for HDL cholesterol measures the amount of HDL-C in blood.
High levels of cholesterol have been shown to be associated with the development of hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis) and heart disease. When cholesterol levels in the blood increase (not enough is removed by HDL), it may be deposited on the walls of blood vessels. These deposits, termed plaques, can build up, causing vessel walls to become more rigid, and may eventually narrow the openings of blood vessels, constricting the flow of blood.
A higher level of blood HDL-C can decrease the risk of developing plaques by removing excess cholesterol from the blood and lower the risk of heart attack or stroke.
How is the sample collected for testing?
A blood sample is obtained by inserting a needle into a vein in the arm. Sometimes a drop of blood is collected by puncturing the skin on a fingertip. This fingerstick sample is typically used when HDL-C is being measured on a portable testing device, for example, at a health fair.
NOTE: If undergoing medical tests makes you or someone you care for anxious, embarrassed, or even difficult to manage, you might consider reading one or more of the following articles: Coping with Test Pain, Discomfort, and Anxiety, Tips on Blood Testing, Tips to Help Children through Their Medical Tests, and Tips to Help the Elderly through Their Medical Tests.
Another article, Follow That Sample, provides a glimpse at the collection and processing of a blood sample and throat culture.
Is any test preparation needed to ensure the quality of the sample?
Since this test is usually performed as part of a complete lipid profile, fasting for 9-12 hours before sample collection is typically required; only water is permitted. Follow any instructions you are given.

Form temporarily unavailable
Due to a dramatic increase in the number of questions submitted to the volunteer laboratory scientists who respond to our users, we have had to limit the number of questions that can be submitted each day. Unfortunately, we have reached that limit today and are unable to accept your inquiry now. We understand that your questions are vital to your health and peace of mind, and recommend instead that you speak with your doctor or another healthcare professional. We apologize for this inconvenience.
This was not an easy step for us to take, as the volunteers on the response team are dedicated to the work they do and are often inspired by the help they can provide. We are actively seeking to expand our capability so that we can again accept and answer all user questions. We will accept and respond to the same limited number of questions tomorrow, but expect to resume the service, 24/7, as soon as possible.

St Helens Borough Council :: All Dwellings
- Description
- All dwellings in the area at the time of the 2001 Census. A household's accommodation (a household space) is defined as being in a shared dwelling if it has accommodation type 'part of a converted or shared house', not all the rooms (including bathroom and toilet, if any) are behind a door that only that household can use and there is at least one other such household space at the same address with which it can be combined to form the shared dwelling. If any of these conditions is not met, the household space forms an unshared dwelling. Therefore a dwelling can consist of one household space (an unshared dwelling) or two or more household spaces (a shared dwelling).

Despite the recent ground-breaking EU ban on animal testing for cosmetics, if you want to make a truly cruelty-free choice then you still need to look for the Leaping Bunny when you go shopping. This is because the EU ban only applies to animal testing for the cosmetics a company sells in the EU, not the cosmetics it sells elsewhere in the world. Whereas the Leaping Bunny is a global standard and applies to the whole of a company's operations, not just those within the EU.
We also certify household products so look out for our certified brands in the cleaning aisle! There are currently no restrictions on animal testing for household products in the UK, EU, USA or most other countries in the world. Go cruelty free – look for the Leaping Bunny!

(Cairo, Nile)
(Petra, Dead Sea)
Explore the Pyramids, Sphinx, the Egyptian Museum with its incredible Tutankhamen exhibit, and the bustling bazaars. Then fly to Luxor/Aswan to board your deluxe Nile cruiser, this will be your floating hotel moving from city to city while you explore the river's edge temples and monuments including; the Valley of Kings & Queens and Karnak temple in Luxor, the ancient monuments in Edfu and Kom Ombo, and the High Dam and Philae in Aswan. With fully private tours and transfers, you will experience the absolute best that Egypt has to offer. Fly to Jordan and drive to the ghost city of Petra carved into the sheer sandstone cliffs echoes the Nambatean culture that once controlled the trade routes in the area.
NOTE; Travel in Egypt often involves early-morning starts, designed to avoid crowds and the hottest midday hours. It can be hot, especially in June, July and August, but there is virtually no humidity and evening temperatures cool off dramatically. Egypt is a moderate secular state, well used to hosting hundreds of thousands of visitors each year. While you will want to avoid revealing clothing, loose shorts and short-sleeved shirts are fine for both genders on board your Nile cruise and while sightseeing.
A transfer in private vehicle with English speaking driver between Cairo and the airport is provided.
You will be met in the tunnel by an airport representative who will facilitate the visa process (included) and escort you through customs and immigration. Continue on to the baggage claim hall and finally to the passenger pick up. Here, connect with a representative associate who will arrange an airport transfer to your hotel.
Enjoy this tour which explores the relics of past ages, and includes visits to the ancient Memphis, Saqqara, the Solar Boat, Chephren Pyramid and the Great Pyramids of Giza. Already millennia old by the birth of Christ, the elaborate statues and astonishing scale of these sites will amaze all who visit. This tour also features the famous Sphinx, whose constructor still remains unknown, but its sheer beauty and allure has mystified the likes of Alexander the Great and Napoleon Bonaparte. This tour includes a private vehicle, a driver, a trained Egyptologist, and entry to the Chephren (Khafre) or Menkaure (Mycerinus) Pyramids, as well as the Solar Boat. Entrance to the Grand Pyramids is not included. Be aware that a limited number of people are allowed inside the Grand Pyramids daily. *** Please inform your guide the night before if you wish to enter the Grand Pyramids. Cost of $50 USD per person must be paid directly. ***
Enjoy a buffet lunch at a great local restaurant.
You will be picked up before sunset from your hotel and transferred to the desert to meet your guide. The guide will lead you out into the desert on your choice of camel or horse, where you can enjoy watching the sunset with a panoramic view of the Pyramids of Giza. This evening includes a stop for dinner at a Bedouin restaurant adjacent to the desert before returning to your hotel.
Take your flight from Cairo to Luxor. The flight duration is approximately 1 hour.
An airport transfer with a private vehicle and English-speaking driver in Luxor is provided.
Enjoy a private tour with a qualified Egyptologist guide exploring the East Bank of Luxor. Visit the most impressive temples of Karnak and Luxor, while learning about ancient Egyptian history from your own personal guide. Start your day with a visit to the Temples of Karnak. Walk along the Avenue of Sphinx to enter the complex as your guide explains how the massive facade was constructed. Continue to Luxor Temple which was once joined to the Temples of Karnak by a two-kilometre long Avenue of Sphinx, a portion of which marks the entrance to the temple. Your private guide will offer interpretation and guide you through the most important parts of the temples.
Enjoy an evening of entertainment including local music.
Transfer to the West Bank and explore the West Bank of the ancient Thebes. Visit the Valley of the Kings to see the royal tombs of King Tutankhamun and Ramses, the sixth. This is followed by a visit to the Temple of Madinat Habu and a stop at the Colossus of Memnon.
Visit a unique Greco-Roman temple dedicated to two gods: Sobek, the crocodile god, and Haroeris, the sun god. The Temple in Kom Ombo (also known simply as Kom Ombo Temple) dates from about 180 BC, during a period known as the Ptolemaic era, and had some additions built on to it during Roman times. It stands right on the bank of the Nile between Edfu and Aswan. The temple is unusual in that it is a double temple, with one side dedicated to the god Haroesis and the other side to Sobek. The design is almost perfectly symmetrical, with two side-by-side sanctuaries and two parallel passageways leading through the outer parts of the temple. The right side is dedicated to Sobek-Re (the crocodile god combined with the sun god Re), along with his wife (a form of Hathor) and their son Khonsu-Hor. Sobek is associated with Seth, the enemy of Horus. In the myth of Horus and Osiris, Seth and his followers changed themselves into crocodiles to escape. The ancient Egyptians believed that by honoring the fearsome crocodile as a god, they would be safe from attacks. The left side is dedicated to Haroeris, the "Good Doctor" (a form of the falcon-headed god Horus the Elder) along with his consort Ta-Sent-Nefer, the "Good Sister" (another form of Hathor).
Visit the Nile-side Temple of Horus, the falcon god, built in 230 BC by Ptolemy III. The Temple of Horus in Edfu (also known as the Temple of Edfu) is considered the best-preserved cult temple in Egypt. This is partly because it was built later than most: in the Ptolemaic era from 237 to 57 BC. Despite its later date, it reflects traditional pharaonic architecture and so provides an excellent idea of how all the temples once looked. Edfu is also very large: the second largest in Egypt after Karnak Temple.
This half day tour begins with a visit to the impressive Aswan High Dam. The water which was collected behind created Lake Nasser, the world's largest artificial lake. View the Temple of Philae, dedicated to the Goddess Iris, on the island of Agilika, stopping at the "unfinished obelisk," a practical demonstration of the methods used by ancient craftsmen to create impressive monuments.
An airport transfer with private vehicle, and driver is provided.
Take a flight from Aswan to Cairo. The flight duration is approximately 1.5 hours.
Begin the day with a tour of one of the most ancient ruins in Cairo; explore the remains of the Fortress of Babylon. First built by the Persians around the 6th century BC, these ruins are indeed Cairo's oldest original structure. Within the confines you will find the Church of St. Sergius, where the Holy Family is reported to have stayed, and the Hanging Church, the seat of the Coptic patriarchate for centuries. Visit the Church of Saint Barbara, a charming monument commemorating a 4th century local saint. End the day with a visit to the Coptic Museum.
Delve into the historical background of Egypt on a half day private tour with a trained Egyptologist guide through the Egyptian Museum of Antiquities and its Mummy Room, which houses a priceless treasure of archaeological finds. This location holds the tomb of the King Tut, Egypt's most famous teenage King!
During this evening tour, enjoy a delicious Egyptian dinner at Naguib Mafouz, located in the heart of the Khan Khalili bazaar in Cairo. Stroll down the Al Moaz Street and view the largest concentration of medieval architectural treasures from the Islamic world. If you wish, visit Beit El Seheimy (entrance included). Normally, this location would be closed to the public during the evening, but this exclusive tour provides access. This tour includes a private vehicle, driver and English speaking guide.
Take a flight from Cairo to Amman. The flight duration is approximately 1 hour.
A Jordanian Tourism tax will be paid on your behalf to cover public liability insurance on equipment such as Jeeps, camels and horses.
You will be met by an airport representative , then it is off to baggage claim and finally to passenger pick up. It is here that you will connect with our Kensington associate who will arrange airport transfer to your hotel. Porter charges and tourist visa are included in the per person rate.
Sit back and relax on your 3 hour transfer from Amman to Petra.
Petra is the treasure of the ancient world, and the rock-carved rose-red city is full of mysterious charm. Indeed, it was "designed to strike wonder into all who entered it". Petra is the legacy of the Nabataeans, an industrious Arab people who settled in southern Jordan more than 2,000 years ago. Admired then for its refined culture, massive architecture and ingenious complex of dams and water channels, this remarkable city of grand buildings carved into massive cliffs evokes wonder to this day.
Sit back and relax on your 3 hour transfer from Petra to the Dead Sea.
This evening spend time at leisure or relax at your hotel.
Enjoy an airport transfer with private vehicle and driver. The driver will assist you with your bags and check-in process.
Le Méridien Pyramids Hotel & Spa is beautifully set in its own landscaped gardens with an unrivaled and time-honored location, less than one kilometer from the Sphinx and the Giza Pyramids, one of the seven ancient wonders of the World and only twenty minutes from Cairo's city center.

"As a single female, I decided at the last minute to change my travel plans and stop by Egypt en route to the United States from Morocco I emailed Tony at Kensington to see if he could assist me with planning a 2-day all-inclusive Cairo trip. Within an hour, I received a quote and itinerary that was exactly what I was looking for. I also was assured by Tony he would get his best female guide to make me feel more comfortable, as well as having a male guide for security. Kensington Tours far exceeded my expectations and not only put together the most amazing tour of Cairo, covering everything in 2 days, but I felt more secure than in the United States. I could have never experienced all of Cairo the way that I did if I had not gone through Kensington. I have traveled to over 80 countries now and I can, without a doubt, say that Kensington is the only tour company that has ever exceeded my expectations and done so with a quality of customer service that is very rare. They are the Rolls Royce of tour companies! "

Amazing stationery
I have been on many wedding stationery websites that deemed themselves a true 'design-it-yourself' website. Magnet Street is THE company to get your stationery from. It is the only company in my book that allows you to design the stationery the way you want it and in any color you want. I am getting all of my stationery for my wedding from the save the dates to the thank you cards. My favorite is the Classic Allure collection (which is what I am using!). It is simple yet elegant. The design works very well with my wedding colors (peach & ivory). I'm very happy with the finished product of my samples! They all turned out just as I expected and then some. Magnet Street has far exceeded my expextations. We are very excited.
Beautiful Invitation.
We are very pleased with the Classic Allure invitation. It's exactly what my daughter was looking for. We loved being able to customize it to my daughter's wedding colors.
Quality Card~Products In General
We used the Classic Allure Thank Yiu cards because they matched every other printed thing we did for our wedding. The quality and finish of everything is so amazing, and when you have some special instructions, like please drop these names down so they're centered with the text on the next page, MagnetStreet's designers come through like gang busters. We did it all from our Save the Dates, Invitations, Menus, Programs, Table Toppers, Address Labels, Place Cards and now the Thank You Cards; Each in Classic Allure, red and white on the black background (which fit our wedding colors flawlessly). Turn around times for printing were spot on and we never had to guess when something would arrive, as we always had tracking numbers. Most items were printed within a couple of days. All in all MS provided a great service, they were easy to work with (when needed, their online tools took care of 99% of what was needed, we just had to have a designer modify our programs and that turn around was faster than expected), and extremely high quality products.
I am very happy with my decision to go with Magnet Street for my wedding invitations. I love the design and found Magnet Street to have exceptional customer service, especially when customizing designs. My invitations arrived very quickly and I couldn't be happier with the end product. We decided on the Classic Allure design for our invitations. The invitations are classic (as in the name!), with a very elegant design.
Beautiful Cards
We ordered the Classic Allure Save the Date post cards. The cards arrived on time and were simply beautiful!! The paper was thick and heavy. The printing professional and precise. The cards were also very glossy and slick, which wasn't mentioned anywhere. Something else that wasn't mentioned was the size. The site/product description says the cards are 3" x 4", but when we got them, they measured 5' x 7". That meant that we couldn't use postcard stamps, we had to buy regular letter stamps which added to our overall cost. We were also planning on printing the recipients address right onto the card with our printer, but the cards were both too thick and too slick for that to work, so we ended up having to buy labels (equaling more $$). Our back round color was brown, and when we received the cards, the light brown part of the back ground (the gray part of the original image) wasn't as light as it appears on the screen. You almost can't see it. All in all, the cards were beautiful, minus some tiny tweeks. We're also ordering our wedding invites from MagnetStreet. We would definitely recommend MagnetStreet to our friends!!

Vasashi17 wrote:^^^The Suns were looking to shut down dribble penetration in our early PnR sets and Pau made them pay. They adjusted there after. I don't think Pau really needs to force anything. Just do what the defense gives you.
Also people need to understand that we are an older team. We went at a helter skelter pace in the first half and you noticed that Howard and Pau were both trying to catch their breath.
That's why you got to play like that in pulses. Bigs just can't play that way...which is why Kareem deserves that statue cause at an old age, he ran with that Showtime group.
Pau got a double double leading to a win...I'm happy with that.
Chatter about a Pau Gasol-to-Atlanta simply won't go away. It won't go away mostly because my ESPN colleague Bill Simmons, after hearing Magic Johnson suggest it on the set of "NBA Countdown," keeps throwing it out there like he did in this week's "BS Report" podcast with former Suns general manager Steve Kerr.
Only one problem.
Sources say that the Hawks, at present, have no interest in parting with Josh Smith and Kyle Korver for Gasol. Or even Smith and lesser parts for Gasol.
Positions can obviously change between now and the Feb. 21 trade deadline, but sources maintain that Atlanta has not been enticed in the least by the prospect of parting with the 26-year-old Smith -- even as he heads into unrestricted free agency -- for the 32-year-old Gasol. The Hawks, for the record, have also been telling interested teams that they value Smith and what he offers as a hybrid forward in an Eastern Conference that's generally been getting smaller.
It's undeniably true that the Lakers, if they're missing anything to make Mike D'Antoni's offense flow, could use an extra shooter or two to float to the corners. It's likewise true, sources said, that the Lakers have had internal discussions for months about pursuing Smith, not only for his athletic gifts but also knowing that J-Smoove is one of free agent-to-be Dwight Howard's closest friends in the game. But if that's really who L.A. wants, there will have to be another team or two recruited into the deal to satisfy Atlanta's demands.
Also: The Lakers surely want to take a break from big moves for a while if they can. Just since July they've traded for Steve Nash and Dwight Howard, fired Mike Brown after five games and hired D'Antoni after flirting first with Phil Jackson. Sure seems like it's time to ride with what you've got at this point apart from scouring the free-agent marketplace for a bargain shooter like, say, Mickael Pietrus. Or, better yet, Raja Bell if Utah ever consents to buy Bell out.

So I wouldn't put it past this front office. They sabotaged Pau all of last season too with the neverending trade rumors, even to the point where Kobe had to speak up for Pau. Why Magic perpetuated that rumor in the first place, I don't know.
I've had it up to here with the Pau bashing though...

Psoriatic arthritis facts
What is psoriatic arthritis?
Reader Stories
Psoriatic arthritis is a chronic disease characterized by a form of inflammation of the skin (psoriasis) and joints (inflammatory arthritis). Psoriasis is a common skin condition affecting 2% of the Caucasian population in the United States. It features patchy, raised, red areas of skin inflammation with scaling. Psoriasis often affects the tips of the elbows and knees, the scalp and ears, the navel, and around the genital areas or anus. Approximately 10%-15% of patients who have psoriasis also develop an associated inflammation of their joints. Patients who have inflammatory arthritis and psoriasis are diagnosed as having psoriatic arthritis.
The onset of psoriatic arthritis generally occurs in the fourth and fifth decades of life. Males and females are affected equally. The skin disease (psoriasis) and the joint disease (arthritis) often appear separately. In fact, the skin disease precedes the arthritis in nearly 80% of patients. However, the arthritis may precede the psoriasis in up to 15% of patients. In some patients, the diagnosis of psoriatic arthritis can be difficult if the arthritis precedes psoriasis by many years. In fact, some patients have had arthritis for over 20 years before psoriasis eventually appears! Conversely, patients can have psoriasis for over 20 years prior to the development of arthritis, leading to the ultimate diagnosis of psoriatic arthritis.
Psoriatic arthritis is a systemic rheumatic disease that also can cause inflammation in body tissues away from the joints other than the skin, such as in the eyes, heart, lungs, and kidneys. Psoriatic arthritis shares many features with several other arthritic conditions, such as ankylosing spondylitis, reactive arthritis, and arthritis associated with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. All of these conditions can cause inflammation in the spine and other joints, and the eyes, skin, mouth, and various organs. In view of their similarities and tendency to cause inflammation of the spine, these conditions are collectively referred to as "spondyloarthropathies."

The court consists of one Chief Justice and six Associate Justices who are appointed by the Governor of California for 12-year terms. New justices are subject to a retention vote by the public at the next general election after their appointment, and each 12 years thereafter. The electorate has occasionally exercised the power not to retain justices, removing Chief Justice Rose Bird and Associate Justices Cruz Reynoso and Joseph Grodin in 1986.
According to the California Constitution, to be considered for an appointment, a person must be an attorney admitted to practice in California or have served as a judge of a California court for 10 years immediately preceding the appointment.
The court currently sits as a whole (all seven together) when hearing appeals. When there is an open seat on the court, or if a justice recused himself or herself on a given case, justices from the California Courts of Appeal are assigned to join the court for individual cases, on a rotational basis. Prior to the 1960s, the court reviewed the vast majority of appeals in three-judge panels (like the federal Courts of Appeals).
The court has direct mandatory appellate jurisdiction in all California state death penalty cases, although it has sponsored a state constitutional amendment to allow it to assign death penalty appeals to the California Courts of Appeal.[1] It has discretionary jurisdiction over all cases reviewed by the Courts of Appeal.
The Chief Justice
Current Chief Justice Ronald George was appointed as the 27th Chief Justice of California on March 28, 1991 by Governor Pete Wilson. He was confirmed by the Commission on Judicial Appointments on May 1, 1991, and took his oath the same day.
Ancillary responsibilities
The Supreme Court supervises the lower courts through the Judicial Council of California, and also supervises California's legal profession through the State Bar of California. All lawyer admissions and disbarments are done through recommendations of the State Bar, which are then routinely ratified by the Supreme Court. California's bar is the largest in the U.S. with 200,000 members, of whom 150,000 are actively practicing.
Political, gender, ethnic and confessional diversity
The Court partially reflects the ethnic and gender diversity of the state it serves, though not its political diversity. There are two Asian-American justices (Chin and Kennard), one Hispanic justice (Moreno), and no African-American justices. The justices also come from different religious backgrounds (principally Roman-Catholic and Protestant denominations) but avoid public mention of matters of personal religion and ethics. This contrasts with the U.S. Supreme Court whose justices do not shy away from the subject of personal religion.
The Court currently has six Republicans (George, Kennard, Baxter, Werdegar, Chin, and Corrigan) and one Democrat (Moreno), although most of the Republicans tend to be moderate.
Three justices are female (Kennard, Werdegar, and Corrigan). One justice has a physical disability (Kennard).
Reputation and idiosyncrasies
Just as California has become famous worldwide for its innovations in agriculture, technology, and entertainment, its highest court has become famous for its innovations in jurisprudence. As the Wall Street Journal explained in 1972:
- This state's high court over the past 20 years has won a reputation as perhaps the most innovative of the state judiciaries, setting precedents in areas of criminal justice, civil liberties, racial integration, and consumer protection that heavily influence other states and the federal bench.[2]
Also like the state it serves, the Court has a reputation for being unique in various odd ways. Both the California Supreme Court and all lower California state courts use a different writing style and citation system from the federal courts and many other state courts. The most obvious difference is that California citations always have the year between the names of the parties and the reference to the case reporter, as opposed to the national standard (the Bluebook) of putting the year at the end. For example, the famous case Marvin v. Marvin, which established the standard for non-marital partners' ability to sue for their contributions to the partnership, is rendered Marvin v. Marvin (1976) 18 Cal.3d 660 [134 Cal.Rptr. 815, 557 P.2d 106] in California style, while it would be Marvin v. Marvin, 18 Cal. 3d 660, 557 P.2d 106, 134 Cal. Rptr. 815 (1976), in Bluebook style. The California citation style, however, has always been the norm of common law jurisdictions outside the United States, including England, Canada and Australia.
While the U.S. Supreme Court justices indicate the author of an opinion and who has "joined" the opinion at the start of the opinion, California justices always sign a majority opinion at the end, followed by "WE CONCUR," and then the names of the joining justices. California judges are traditionally not supposed to use certain ungrammatical terms in their opinions, which has led to embarrassing fights between judges and the editor of the state's official reporters. California has abolished the use of certain French and Latin phrases like en banc, certiorari, and mandamus, so California judges and attorneys write "in bank," "review," and "mandate" instead.
Finally, the California Supreme Court has the power to "depublish" opinions by the Courts of Appeal (as opposed to the federal practice of not publishing certain "unpublished" opinions at all in the federal case reporters).[3] This means that even though the opinion has already been published in the official state reporters, it will be binding only upon the parties.[4] Stare decisis does not apply, and any new rules articulated will not be applied in future cases. Similarly, the California Supreme Court has the power to "publish" opinions by the California Courts of Appeal which were initially not published.[3]

National team competitions
16-15, 22-19, 14-20, 19-26
The Antwerp Giants found their rhythm in the second half to record their opening win in Group H of the EuroChallenge, topping Armia 80-71 on the road in Georgia.
Antwerp, who lost their opener 81-72 at home to Telekom Baskets last week, were down by four at the break and trailed again late in the third quarter before a solid fourth carried them over the line.
Bryan Hopkins had eight of his 24 points in the final four minutes of the game to make sure of the win for the Belgians.
Armia, who have now gone to 0-2, led 52-50 on Lasha Parghalava's three-pointer with 90 seconds left in the third quarter, but Lamarcus Reed replied in kind to put Antwerp back in front before Jason Love split his free throws before the end of the period.
Armia kept in touch for most of the fourth quarter, and Marcus Faison's jump-shot made it a three-point game once again at 62-59 with 3:53 to go.
But then Ralph Biggs nailed a three for Antwerp and Roel Moors drove in for the lay-up after an Armia turnover as the gap suddenly bulged to eight.
A three-point play from Curtis Millage and two free throws from Wilson had Armia in touch once again going into the final 90 seconds but Hopkins and Biggs then came up with big free throws down the stretch as Armia's shooting touch deserted them when it mattered.
Biggs finished with 14 points and Moors had 13 for Antwerp.
Millage poured in 24 points for Armia, with Wilson added 20 and 13 rebounds. Faison also scored in double figures with 11 points.
Armia head coach Kote Tughushi"I want to thank our fans who were actively supporting our team throughout all game. Despite the fact that during the match we had moments when we could gain advantage, the experienced Belgian team did not give us a chance to succeed. From our side I would add that in the last period we made serious mistakes that decided the fate of the match. I would like to appreciate that our players did their best and fought to the end to win the game."

|IHOP's National Pancake Day Benefits ACH
In celebration of National Pancake Day on February 28th, IHOP restaurants nationwide will offer each guest a free short stack of buttermilk pancakes in an effort to raise awareness and funds for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals.
Last year's spring campaign and National Pancake Day raised over $64,000 for All Children's Hospital, your local Children's Miracle Network Hospital.
National Pancake Day dates back to a centuries-old tradition also known as "Shrove Tuesday" or the more popular "Mardi Gras", which heralds the beginning of fasting during Lent. Long ago, strict rules prohibited the eating of all dairy products during Lent, so pancakes were made to use up the supply of eggs, milk, butter and other dairy products, hence the name Pancake Tuesday. For centuries, the English have "flipped" for pancakes on this day with rich lore and colorful events including pancake races. The IHOP National Pancake Day fundraiser is planned each year in honor of this tradition.
For more information or to find an IHOP near you, please visit the IHOP website at www.ihoppancakeday.com

Congratulations, Christine! I know how wonderful it is to finally get a shower!
Maggie, I'm glad you got the brace off. Sorry to hear about your rash, and I hope it resolves soon.
Richard, thanks for the bicycle update. I can't wait until I can ride again. I wonder how much it will hurt. Since I have a vertical scar, I'm hoping that I will be able to get a different seat, or just adjust how I sit.
Tammy, I hope you are doing as well as can be expected. Those first 2 days were trance like for me, just surviving through it. I hope that your surgery went well, and that you have enough pain meds.

- in the groovy lib folder
- explicitly set in the classpath (ie. set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;d:\\path

If you are using JDK 1.5 or greater, a LinkageError will occur. Removing the mx4j-3.0.2.jar library from %GROOVY_HOME%\lib will make it work again, but a better solution would be preferable.

Project Scale is an INTERPOL project to support member countries in identifying, deterring and disrupting transnational fisheries crime.
The project was launched during the 1st INTERPOL International Fisheries Enforcement Conference on 26 February 2013 at the INTERPOL General Secretariat in Lyon, France. The Conference was followed by the first meeting of the INTERPOL Fisheries Crime Working Group.
Project Scale is supported by the Government of Norway, the Pew Charitable Trusts and the United States Department of State.
The issue
World fish stocks are being rapidly depleted, and valuable species are nearing extinction. Because fish are a valuable commodity, the last decade has seen an escalation of transnational and organized criminal networks engaged in fisheries crime.
Fisheries crime undermines the sustainability of marine living resources and threatens food security and the economic, social and political stability of coastal states which rely on sustainable fisheries for their source of revenue.
The response
In its activities, INTERPOL looks at all types of illegality and criminality which facilitate or accompany illegal fishing activities but reach beyond the traditional definition of illegal fishing. These associated criminal activities may include fraud, avoidance of taxes and handling of stolen goods, corruption, money laundering, document falsification, drug trafficking and human trafficking.
Aims of Project Scale
- Raise awareness regarding fisheries crime and its consequences;
- Support institutionalized cooperation between national agencies and international partners, such as through the establishment of National and Regional Environmental Security Task Forces (NESTs and RESTs);
- Assess the needs of vulnerable member countries to effectively address fisheries crimes;
- Facilitate regional and international operations to suppress crime, disrupt trafficking routes, and ensure the enforcement of national legislation.
- Create a strategic plan for INTERPOL's role in capacity building, information exchange and operational support;
- Develop the Fisheries Crime Working Group and support its two projects on intelligence and on capacity building and advocacy;
- Create a case study on fisheries crime in West Africa;
- Enhance expertise and expand INTERPOL's international marine enforcement network;
- Provide expert recommendations on fisheries-related environmental law compliance and enforcement;
- Provide case-specific investigative support through the deployment of specialized Investigative Support Teams and Incident Response Teams;
- Support member countries in issuing international notices and alerts;
- Facilitate region- or commodity-specific operations tailored to the needs of member countries.
