Funkadelic, arguably the greatest "black rock" band ever...Actually, strike that, they are far and away the best black rock band ever. In fact, screw everything, they're one of the greatest rock bands period, up there with any classic rock dinosaur you care to name. And though it's tempting to launch an essay on the racism of rock radio-- or rock journalism for that matter-- I'll stick to the band. Even as they're revered as legends and purveyors of the some of the best funk of the 70s, I've read relatively few accounts on their greatness as a pure rock band. But they had it all: great players, great singers, a great look, a great concept, actual hits, great albums, great drugs, freaky sex, disputes over money-- everything Led Zeppelin (or Spinal Tap) taught us was necessary to make the world's greatest rock music.
They started small, backing up ringleader George Clinton's Parliaments in the late 60s. When Clinton got into arguments with his label Revilot over money and rights, he decided to start recording his backup band instead, using the original Parliaments singers (Clinton, Ray Davis, Clarence "Fuzzy" Haskins-- and come on, dude's name is "Fuzzy"-- Calvin Simon and Grady Thomas) as "guests." Guitarists Eddie Hazel and Tawl Ross, bassist Billy Nelson, drummer Tiki Fulwood, and eventually, master keyboardist Bernie Worrell were the band that would turn this fairly traditional soul group into the intense live act that wowed Detroit's Westbound Records head Armen Boladian. He signed them, and from the get-go, their music cut through genres and money bullshit like neither had ever existed. Never mind that half the band quit and came back again during recording sessions for their first record, Funkadelic was destined for greatness. Ace's reissues of the band's Westbound catalog is long overdue-- they sound a world better than the terribly mastered original CD pressings, and contain a wealth of bonus tracks, alternate mixes, and liner notes.
Funkadelic from 1970 was a bomb dropped all over rock and soul. No matter Hendrix, no matter James Brown, no matter the MC5, nobody had ever heard anything like this. This music was slower than sludge, dirtier than the "raw funk" Herb "Sparky" Sparkman talks about in "Music For My Mother". It was a great big fucking mess, and a lot of people didn't know what to make of it. I remember reading a Rolling Stone review from the time that ended with "who needs this shit?" and a writer from the Blues & Soul 'zine from a year later admitted, "Funkadelic has never been one of my favorite R&B; acts". Still, the record sold (peaking at #16 on the Soul LPs chart), and planted the seed of a cult worship that would balloon in the latter half of the decade, making the P-Funk enterprise the most successful soul act on the planet.
"Mommy, What's a Funkadelic?" started out with the sound of Clinton's wet mouth and the best ever opening line for an album: "If you will suck my soul, I will lick your funky emotions." When the beat hits with Hazel's guitar line, there can be no doubt that Funkadelic were without peer as far as this stuff was concerned. This stuff-- hell, tunes like "Mommy" and "Good Old Music" are slams to the gut as powerful as anything Zep ever did, and with beats to spare. "Music For My Mother" is like a Southern myth, detailing a loner's travels through "Keep Runnin' Mississippi", hearing music he thought long dead, yet getting trapped by its sticky black allure. "What Is Soul?" drops more classic lines ("soul is a hamhock in your cornflakes," "Soul is chitlins foo young," "soul is a joint rolled in toilet paper") in seven minutes than most bands muster up in a career. Bonus tracks like the tight instrumental "As Good As I Can Feel" and several single versions of album cuts make this album one of the most indispensable of all indispensable Funkadelic records.
Even as Funkadelic was an inspired statement, it wasn't exactly a coherent one, especially as most of the band had quit and come back again during the recording sessions. Their second record, 1971's Free Your Mind was the first (of only two) records done by the core unit from start to finish-- albeit, according to Clinton, one recorded in the span of a single day, while everyone was tripping. Compared to the debut, it's a lot more "rock" and a little less "soul." The opening track "Free Your Mind and Your Ass Will Follow" was like a Sly Stone jam gone haywire, with fuzzed out guitar and bass, distorto-organ, and spoken, chanted or otherwise freaked vox appearing all over the mix. "Friday Night, August 14th", "Funky Dollar Bill", and "I Wanna Know If It's Good to You" were a bit tighter, and a lot harder. "Funky Dollar Bill" features another down-home-on-a-porch-and-an-amp-with-probably-some-pot-and-other-things guitar riff from Hazel and Clinton and company sounding completely fucked up and screaming out at you from the depths of the stereo on lines like "you don't buy a life, you live a life, a father learns much too late-- HE WAS A-NEVER HOME!!" "Euology and Light" is like a lysergic Lord's Prayer, replete with backwards choir. The bonus track "Fish, Chips and Sweat" is again reminiscent of Sly, but in his "Dance to the Music" guise, and is suitably celebratory, even as the mix distorts the tape.
And then they got serious: Maggot Brain, released in the July of the same year, is the peak of the Funkadelic experience. The songs jam harder, the way out stuff is way fucking out there. Seriously, how many dimensions is Hazel traveling through on the instrumental title cut? His 10-minute guitar soliloquy is a spiraling model of the blues filtered through a psychedelic lens, and almost single-handedly places him in a realm with Hendrix, Jimmy Page, and Eric Clapton as one of the great classic rock guitarists. But it got better: "Super Stupid" was the tale of a dumbass junkie set to a tune Black Sabbath would have been proud of; "Hit It And Quit It" is a funk anthem where keyboardist Worrell gets his licks in and the beat turns around a dozen times before we hit the chorus; "Can You Get to That" is honest-to-whoever pop that showed Funkadelic could be serious from time to time, especially when it came to social commentary (and also featured Isaac Hayes' female background singers, giving it a classic soul sheen), and "Wars of Armageddon" (recently, wisely used by Optimo on the Psyche Out mix) is a knock-out-drag-down fight to the death between the world's best rhythm section and paranoid, psychedelic sound effects and crowd sounds. Maggot Brain was an explosive record, bursting at the seams with exactly the kind of larger than life sound a band called Funkadelic should have made.
Too bad most of the band left afterwards. Tiki Fulwood was fired due to drugs getting in the way of his reliability as a band member; Tawl Ross reportedly got into an "acid eating contest, then snorting some raw speed, before completely flipping out," per Billy Nelson, and has not performed professionally since; Nelson himself quit over a money dispute with Clinton, leaving only Hazel and Worrell from the original Funkadelic lineup. Drummer Tyrone Lampkin replaced Fulwood, while guitarist Gary Shider (who'd already played with the band on parts of Maggot Brain) came aboard to fill out the sound. However, a lot of folks would look at former JBs like Phelps and William "Bootsy" Collins additions as the most significant. Certainly, Bootsy's mark on the whole Parliafunkadelicmint thang would eventually be almost as strong as Clinton's.
Nevertheless, 1972's America Eats Its Young is a disparate, schizophrenic record. Despite Clinton's efforts to produce a record that would have a better chance at crossover appeal than the first three Funkadelic records, like many double LPs, there's simply too much material, and too many conflicting directions to really make this seem anything other than a Frankenstein production. Of course, it has its classics: "Loose Booty" and "A Joyful Process" are the two of the best pure funk songs the band ever did, while "If You Don't Like the Effects, Don't Produce the Cause", "Biological Speculation", "Everybody Is Going to Make It This Time", and "Miss Lucifer's Love" are great evidence of the band's strong pop bent even as their chosen subject matters could range from dark to disturbing to sci-fi. Tunes like "I Call My Baby Pussycat", "Balance", and "Philmore" even hark back to the more rock-oriented stuff of the first three records. However, it's hard to hear "We Hurt Too" (a maudlin ballad about the hidden tenderness of men) as anything but a joke, and the title track, similar to Maggot Brain's title cut, is a bit heavy on the huffing and panting. I think of this record as Funkadelic's White Album, containing too much great stuff to dismiss, but by almost anyone's standards, containing more than it needs.
From here on out, Funkadelic would devote increasingly more time to maintaining and expanding their appeal. Albums like Let's Take It to the Stage and Standing on the Verge of Getting It on (also reissued, along with Tales of Kidd Funkadelic) were considerably less freaked-out than the early stuff, but alongside Parliament's concurrent music, helped turn Clinton's empire into one of the biggest acts in music. Still, I'll always love their first records the most. Call me rockist if you will, there's just something undeniably awesome about a funk band blasting guitar jams and telling me about neurotic bitches who want to take over the universe.

Soy complex retreated Tuesday
Grain markets were broadly lower Tuesday on better than expected crop progress and ratings as well as an improved weather outlook. The U.S. corn crop rating improved by 1% to 69% good to excellent when the trade expected a 1% downgrade. The USDA will release the Supply and Demand report this Friday at 11am and it will be interesting to see if they make any changes to the corn yield. The US Dollar Index is up .59 to 96.88. July corn futures fell 2.75 cents to $4.1575/bushel Tuesday, while December lost 1.75 cents to $4.3325.

Turning a corner
About me... Calm, energetic, straightforward.. Need and value time in nature. Liberal artsy type. Weekend hiker. Love to dance and paint. I am an early riser AND a night owl. I work full time and love my work as a therapist. I work for a non-profit counseling center and also have a private practice. I like to think i am doing something to make the world a better place.(yes, kind of a girl scout) I am loyal and very affectionate with loved ones. In my free time I like to walk or run on the beach with my dog. Love hanging by the ocean, but prefer to swim in warmer waters.Love to read,explore new places in SF, or hop in the convertible and drive out to Napa. Love book stores and antique stores. I like to go out at night to smaller venues to listen to live music, make dinners with friends. Like everyone else on match, I love to travel, though most of my trips these days involve heading to the East Coast to see family. When I was younger I was more focused on finding a place that "fit" my idea of where I wanted to live. Went from Ohio(a great place to be from) to Massachusetts for school, expecting to live there the rest of my life...but I came to CA in the ninties, and eventually fell in love with her. (a state that is like a beautiful adolescent girl) As I get older I value family more and more, and I sort of regret that we are all scattered across the country. Not that I want to move back to Ohio....but maybe Massachusetts.... Married for twenty five years, most of them good. Four wonderful children, two grandchildren, big family, lots of cousins in Palo Alto. My dream guy.. I am attracted to those who are enthusiastic about life, their work and play, etc. Sparkle in the eye and a quick wit. An interest in what is going on in the world is a must. I don't mind of you are a bit quirky or if you are even slightly curmudgeonly! However, if you don't have a warm heart, a liberal perspective and a strong sense of humor we are not going to be a match. I hope we both have our own circle of friends; ideally we would share friends eventually. I prefer to be with someone who has had children and understands prioritizing them. It would be great if you enjoy listening to music and hopefully like to step out on the dance floor once in a while. I seek someone who is looking for "their person" ie. a LTR, monogamous, you are the one for me kind of relationship. Tool belts are pretty sexy, especially if you know how to actually fix things. Like outdoorsy kinda guys who are into sports, but not if the sport involves a rifle. (no bueno) And last... if you don't post a photo I I won't respond to you. Looks aren't the only factor but they give you an idea if there might be some initial chemistry. I'm not going to see that if you are a blue ghost. And please don't lie about your age! (I'm not lying about mine)Lies are never a good way to start out.

You don't need the Sun to Shine
About Me Who am I? I would describe myself as stable in my career and goal-oriented. I enjoy making people laugh. I understand that there's a time to give and be loving and understanding and a time for standing up for what I believe in and not being walked on. I don't run from adversity. I care about other people's feelings. When I'm with someone special I like being spontaneous, adventurous, romantic, surprising them with little gestures, sensual, playful, and basically having just having fun. I laugh often and am very optimistic. I think my smile is contagious. I am incredibly honest and trustworthy. I like to think that I have a great, maybe sarcastic, sense of humor. I'm looking for someone who has similar qualities and desires someone who they can connect with.I feel there has to be mutual physical attraction for there to be good chemistry between two people. So being fit and having good looks are important, as well as sensuality and affection. Having some similar interests helps--some things I enjoy are working out, walking at the beach, going out, watching movies, traveling, going snowboarding, going on day trips to local attractions, having romantic nights at home, cuddling, and basically having a blast together. About the One I'm Looking For I smile when I think of you and you must like to cuddle. The right woman not only fascinates me but also brings out the best in me. We push each other to be the greatest people we can be. We bolster each other's egos and we leave short, thoughtful love messages for each other when we're away for work. If you're comfortable in your own skin, have a strong sense of self and aren't afraid to expose your flaws, I'm sure we'll get along just fine. First Date It doesn't involve a chain restaurant, a roller coaster or a movie. It may involve eating, excitement or entertainment. It definitely involves me, you and a long, drawn-out moment where we don't want to say good night.

Condensed matter meets Biophysics : understanding glasses with proteins (Dr Paddy Royall, School of Chemistry & Dr Ross Anderson, School of Biochemistry) This project will move into literally unseen areas to tackle one of the deepest questions of condensed matter physics : the glass transition. Using Nobel-prize-winning technology in the form of super-resolution microscopy we shall probe protein suspensions at lengthscales never before seen in "real space". More specifically this project will use fluorescently labeled proteins expressed in collaboration with Dr Ross Anderson in Biochemistry with tailored interactions as "model atoms" to probe glassy phenomena in novel ways. The project thus combines the philiosophy of colloids as model systems in a biological context. The small size of the proteins (relative to colloids) will give us access to dynamical regimes with qualitatively different behavior to which has not been directly visualized (the dynamical regime between the mode-coupling transition and the glass transition). The project will thus exploit control over interactions in a biological system while simultaneously giving key insight into which of the many competing theories which pertain to describe the glass transition stands up to experimental scrutiny. The project of funded by the European Research Council and will run for 3.5 years starting in 2015. For further details please contact Dr Paddy Royall (firstname.lastname@example.com)
Protolife-inspired Chemical Systems (x3 positions available). Three University of Bristol sponsored postgraduate studentships are now available in the newly established Bristol Centre for Protolife Research (School of Chemistry) under the leadership of Professor Stephen Mann FRS. The research involves the design, construction and utilization of new types of synthetic protocells based on biomimetic self-assembly. Projects will be highly interdisciplinary and relevant to emerging areas of self-organized materials, systems-based nanoscience, artificial cellularity, synthetic biology and bioinspired engineering. The work also interfaces with questions concerning the origin of life and the transition of non-living systems into primitive forms of living matter.

Conformational dynamics in enzyme catalysis (PDF, 1,158kB) (Dr David Glowacki, School of Chemistry) Billions of years of evolution have made enzymes superb catalysts, essential to life as we know it. However, the underlying physical principles that guide enzyme function remain hotly debated. Even the simplest enzymes, which facilitate proton transfer, are puzzling. Proton transfer enzymes exhibit measurable quantum mechanical behavior as a result of 'tunneling', which is a well-studied phenomena within the field of molecular dynamics and kinetics. The problem is that tunneling within some enzymes doesn't appear to follow the standard laws that govern tunneling in most molecular systems, and it's not obvious why. [1] In this project, you will fuse state-of-the-art methods in biomolecular simulation, supercomputing, and quantum mechanics to simulate aromatic amine dehydrogenase (AADH), which is amongst the most puzzling of the proton transfer enzymes. Analysis of your results will provide microscopic insight that helps us to better the fundamental atomic physics by which enzymes carry out their function, ultimately allowing us to customize enzymes to tackle issues related to human health and the environment. This project, funded by the Royal Society, will begin in September 2015 at the latest. Based within the University of Bristol's Centre for Computational Chemistry (CCC), this project will also involve funded trips to engage with international collaborators in the USA (Stanford University and Oak Ridge National Laboratory).

Developing approaches for the mass spectrometry based analysis of complex petrochemical deposits (Dr Paul Gates and Dr Christopher Arthur, School of Chemistry). Petrochemical deposits such as lubricant sludges, fuel lacquers, asphaltenes and refining residues represent a significant challenge to analytical science and are poorly understood from a chemical perspective. This project focuses on the detailed molecular characterisation of such deposits using advanced mass spectrometric techniques (High resolution ESI-MS/MS coupled with UHPLC and IMS in solution phase and MALDI and DART technologies for surface deposits). One of the key challenges to this type of analysis is the sheer complexity of the data obtained. It is envisaged that a significant part of the project will revolve around data reduction, simplification and interrogation by applying and developing software tools alongside other researchers working in complex sample analysis (proteomics, metabolomics, lipidomics etc.). It is also hoped that the application of novel structural elucidation methodologies can be used for compound ID. This project would be well suited to an organic chemist with an analytical focus, who is willing to apply and develop computational and data processing methods to aid in the analysis. The project is funded through a BP/EPSRC Case award and will run for 4 years starting in 2015. Please contact Dr Paul Gates (firstname.lastname@example.com).
Closing the global budget of one of the atmosphere's most potent greenhouse gases Dr Matt Rigby and Prof Simon O'Doherty (School of Chemistry), Mike Czerniack (Edwards Ltd.), Alistair Manning and Tim Arnold (UK Met Office).We are seeking applicants for a fully funded PhD studentship working with Edwards Ltd. (Clevedon, UK). Measurements from the Advanced Global Atmospheric Gases Experiment (AGAGE, agage.mit.edu) show that only around 50% of global tetrafluoromethane (CF4) emissions can be explained by current emissions inventories. This "missing source" is of concern because CF4 is a particularly strong infrared absorber (i.e. greenhouse gas) with a very long lifetime (around 50,000 years). Despite efforts by the semiconductor and aluminium industry to reduce emissions of this gas, AGAGE observations show that it continues to grow rapidly in the atmosphere. We propose to examine the global atmospheric CF4 budget using a new approach involving updated estimates of potential sources, global and regional atmospheric chemical transport models and AGAGE observations. Using this method, we will derive a comprehensive estimate of global CF4 emissions. It is hoped that this work, which brings together academia, industry and regulators, will contribute significantly to future efforts to reduce CF4 emissions. Please contact Dr Matt Rigby (email@example.com). Full project description (PDF, 1,047kB) UK/ EU candidates only.
Imaging Chemical Dynamics (Prof Andrew Orr-Ewing and Prof Mike Ashfold) Two PhD studentships are available to work as part of the EPSRC-funded Programme Grant "Chemical Applications of Velocity and Spatial Imaging". The two positions are based in Bristol, and will make use of our extensive laser and velocity map imaging instrumentation, but will also involve collaborations with colleagues at the University of Oxford. Further details about the Programme Grant are available at the website http://dynamics.chem.ox.ac.uk and the research in the Bristol group is described at www.bristoldynamics.com. Please address enquiries to Prof Andrew Orr-Ewing (firstname.lastname@example.com) or Prof Mike Ashfold (email@example.com).
Soft Matter Chemistry: Polymer-surfactant complexes (Prof Paul Bartlett, School of Chemistry) An industrial CASE award PhD studentship is available in the group of Professor Paul Bartlett to look at polymer surfactant complexes. The project, which is in collaboration with Unilever, will involve the use of single particle optical manipulation techniques (holographic optical tweezers) and confocal microscopy methods. For more details, contact Professor Paul Bartlett (email@example.com). Available from October 2015 for UK/EU applicants.
PhD Studentships in oligosaccharide synthesis and glycobiology (Dr Carmen Galan, School of Chemistry) Applications are invited for an ERC-funded PhD studentships in the areas of bioorganic chemistry and catalysis applied to oligosaccharides. Carbohydrates have emerged as important factors of molecular recognition in biology and medicine. Understanding the roles of these complex molecules, which are found on the surface of cells and as part of glycoproteins and glycolipids is of great importance. However, the synthesis of these oligosaccharide structures is still a challenging task. The Galan group current research interests focus on the development of new catalytic methods for the stereoselective synthesis of glycosides, glycoconjugates and carbohydrate-based biological probes and their application to study healthy and disease (e.g. several types of cancer and inflammation) mechanisms in live cells. The student will join a growing team of multidisciplinary researchers from a range of backgrounds from synthetic chemistry, biochemistry and material science. The research group is based at the School of Chemistry, University of Bristol and offers state-of-the-art laboratories, instrumentation and facilities. The successful candidate will have a background in chemistry (or relevant related discipline) and have an interest in any of the following areas: synthetic chemistry, catalysis, carbohydrate synthesis, biochemistry, biomaterials and biocatalysis. Please make an online application for this project. Please select Chemistry PhD on the Programme Choice page and enter details of the studentship when prompted in the Funding and Research Details sections of the form. Standard UoB PhD entry requirements. UK/EU citizen only due to funding. EU 4 year award. Contacts: Dr M. Carmen Galan (email@example.com).

The deadline for applications is 1st April 2015.
A 4-year PhD place is available in Bristol from October 2015 Studies of thermionic and field emission from chemically modified CVD diamond surfaces (Prof Paul May and Dr Neil Fox, School of Chemistry). A 4-year PhD place is available in Bristol from October 2015. This will comprise 6 months based at Warwick University doing a taught MSc course, then 3 months at Newcastle University doing a miniproject about theoretical modelling of defects in diamond, 3 months at Aberwystwyth University studying dopants in diamond using XPS, and finally 3 years at Bristol in the Chemistry diamond labs doing the PhD by research. Project description: Hydrogenated diamond surfaces exhibit negative electron affinity (NEA) as a result of the enhanced surface dipole, which makes extracting electrons from diamond in vacuum relatively easy and efficient. The electrons can be extracted by application of a high electric field (field emission) or heat (thermionic emission), the efficiency of which depends on the magnitude of the NEA. Recent experimental work (Bristol, Arizona State Uni) and theoretical work (Bristol & Newcastle) have shown that diamond terminated with suitable metal-oxides can have NEA values that are significantly higher than those from hydrogen, and that these surfaces can be stable up to 1000K. Such oxides include LiO, MgO, TiO, TaO, VO, and a range of others yet to be tested. Metal-oxide-terminated diamond therefore is an excellent candidate for use in thermionic heat converters for use in solar power generators. In these, solar heat is captured by a parabolic reflector and focused onto such a diamond surface, causing electrons to be thermionically emitted. These are captured by a cooler counter electrode, and used to drive an external circuit, i.e. solar heat is converted into electric power. Such thermionic converters could be used in parallel with current photovoltaic cells to capture both the visible and IR (heat) portions of the solar spectrum, greatly increasing the efficiency of solar power generation. In this PhD, the student will deposit various metal oxides (from the list above or newly developed ones) onto diamond surfaces, and then test the effectiveness of these surfaces as electron emission sources. The experimental work, such as choice of metal-oxide, will be guided by theoretical modelling (initially as a miniproject at Newcastle, but continuing throughout the PhD) and by surface analysis such as SIMS or XPS (initially at Aberystwyth but also continuing at Bristol throughout the project). The aim would be identify and study in detail an adsorbate (metal-oxide or otherwise) that would greatly enhance the NEA of a diamond surface, be stable at high temperatures (1000K), give a high electron yield at low temperatures (600K), not degrade with use, and be suitable for use in a commercial thermionic heat convertor. The diamond would be either grown in house using the Bristol CVD reactors, or bought in. The surface layers would be deposited in house by sputtering or evaporation, and then analysed by SIMS (Bristol), XPS (Aberystwyth), laser Raman, SEM, etc. (Bristol). Field emission testing and thermionic emission testing would be performed using the bespoke apparatus at Bristol.
If you are interested in this PhD, please contact Prof May (email@example.com) to discuss the project [UK/EU candidates only].

Are IGF2R binding domains Nature's answer to a scalable ligand-binding platform? (Prof Matthew Crump , School of Chemistry, Dr Paul Race, School of Biochemistry (University of Bristol) & Prof Bass Hassan, Sir William Dunn School of Medicine (University of Oxford). Aims of the project. Recently we have used NMR, X-ray crystallography and yeast surface display assays to engineer an Insulin growth factor 2 (IGF2) super-antagonist based on domain 11 from the IGF2 receptor (IGF2R) (Crump & Hassan and co-workers 2012, Science 238, 1209-1213.). We believe this domain has remarkable adaptability for binding a range of ligands, both large and small with potential for use in biotechnology and biological applications. We aim to explore the potential of engineering domain 11 as synthetic lectin by initially creating a chimeric scaffold that swaps in the binding loops from a related, non-isolable domain then using an interdisciplinary range of molecular selection techniques (yeast surface display, NMR, X-ray and site directed mutagenesis) to evolve this binding site to bind mannose-6-P. If successful this may unlock the true potential of these domains as the basis for binding other carbohydrates, phosphodiesters and potentially any ligands of choice.

Topics: Child Advocacy, Compassion Alumni, Discipling Teens, Formerly Sponsored Children, Poverty
Ben Mwangi Kinyanjui grew up in the slums of Korogocho, one of the largest in Nairobi, Kenya. The conditions inside his parent's home mirrored those outside on the muddy, garbage-filled streets. In Korogocho, most families live below the poverty line, earning just U.S. $1 a day. Unemployment has bred a potent mix of crime, drug abuse and alcohol abuse.
Ben had no safe place to retreat -- until he found Compassion. At age 10, he was registered in Compassion's local child development center. Suddenly he had a peaceful place to do his homework after school. He could play with his friends in the safety of the center without being accosted by local gang members.
As Ben progressed in Compassion's programs, he became more determined to forge a life different from his peers. He began leading Bible studies and was soon recognized as a leader at his church. He studied hard in school and was accepted into Compassion's Leadership Development Program, which covered the cost of his college education through sponsorship. Ben says, "To me, university was a dream until I got the scholarship. Sometimes I wonder, why was I chosen from all of the students in Korogocho. But I believe the Lord works in miraculous ways and Compassion is my miracle."
Ben now aims to disciple teenagers through Teen-Teen Connection, which connects a teenager in a developed nation with another in a developing country. He believes that through Compassion, teen sponsorships will build mentoring relationships and that materially rich teens will learn to relate to those in a world that is materially poor and vice versa.

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
Heather Dubrow or Sarah Winchester: Whose Side Are You on in the Real Housewives' Cake War?
On Real Housewives of Orange County Season 7, Episode 19, Heather Dubrow got upset when she saw that Sarah Winchester — who was a guest of Alexis Bellino — had taken a bite of her big, lavish ceremonial cake ahead of schedule. Heather was even angrier when Sarah claimed to have a sugar deficiency as an explanation for her rude act.
Ever since the episode aired, the two have been bickering via Twitter; both sure that they are right and the other is wrong. Co-stars Vicki Gunvalson and Tamra Barney have taken sides with Heather on the issue, with Tamra saying Sarah was "classless and disgusting" and Vicki saying Sarah doesn't have a sugar problem but rather "an alcohol problem." Alexis, meanwhile, was far, far less offended by what happened.
Who do you side with in the cake war? Was Heather the victim, or did Sarah's mistake get blown out of proportion?

Hi Ladies!
I'd love to hear some success for anyone who is overweight and had success. I'm currently 271 and 5 ft 7 in. My dr has not made a big deal about my weight. I'm scheduled to start my injections next week. I'll be on gonarelix, menopause and cetrocide. I'm afraid because of my weight I'll have poor response but my dr has not mentioned anything too much other than it would be nice if I lost it. I don't have any issues we have MFI. Thanks, any input is welcomed!

I am off to my appointment this morning...it SHOULD be my 20 week ultrasound but my regular OB wants me to go for the level2 u/s with MFM for the anatomy scan. I guess it might be better since I think they have a little higher tech equipment and I am nervous about them having to press super hard on my belly to get through the fat layers :( but I can't get in with MFM til after the 4th of july so now I have to wait til the 10th so my husband can come with me.
I can't wait for all of you girls starting your meds in the next weekor 2! It's so close and you'll all be pregnant by the end of July!!
My hubby is taking me to the art institute this weekend for my birthday (i'm turning 36- eek!) but I am excited...there is a Magritte exhibit going on and he is one of my all time favorite artists! (I am such an art nerd).
I just hope all the walking doesn't make my feet swell up like balloons!

As far as meds used. I used birth control then started Lupron. After day three of period (yes it was very light mostly spotting) I had blood work and ultrasound done. Day 6 I had saline ultrasound (trial of transfer) Saturday the 14th I started stims while staying on Lupron I used Gonal F pen and menopur. Some days my dosages went up or down with the Gonal F. I was extremely tired taking stims! I triggered last night I go in for retrieval tomorrow am 930 (Eastern time)
Price for meds were very cheap with my insurance first set I only paid $51 when I ordered more I paid $23
First set included see attached photo. $51
It was 8 Gonal F pens, 14 day, Lupron vial, 3 packs of Menopur 5 vials in each pack, Trigger shot, Endometrin vaginal inserts (21), 2 vials of progesterone oil, Vicodin (for pain after retrieval), antibiotic (for after retrieval), steroid pills (not sure for when yet) estradiol pills (not sure when yet) lots of needles, alcohol swabs, etc.
2 set of meds $23
8 Gonal F pens, Lupron vial, and 3 more packs of menopur
I ordered more just in case I needed it turns out I don't wish I can give it to someone who does.
I am also scared because of my weight I'm 5'2" 280lbs. My dr hasn't said a word about it though.
Today my ovaries and breast are killing me. I had so much pain earlier in my ovaries it woke me up from my nap.
Praying for all us woman to succeed in our baby making process! Will keep you all updated!

I think the stims can be slightly earlier/later but if you are doing antagonist (like ganirelix) they have to be at the same time every day since it is only good for 24 hours...I would definitely call your RE's office to be sure though, they will be able to tell you what to do...I don't think that most concert venues will allow you to go in with needles but I am not sure how thoroughly they search!
Maybe if you have a note with you or something, in case they do try to confiscate it.

LOVED THESE! Nice and simple, but very flavorful. I've had sweet potato fries before, but I liked these even better. They don't really crisp up like a regular potato would, obviously, but we were able to pick them up easily and eat them. The whole family really, REALLY enjoyed these, and as a plus they are better for ya...a definite keeper~YUM, YUM, YUM! Thanks for sharing. :)
Nice healthy version of "Fries side dish". But wait, if there ARE any leftovers. Top your salads, rice dishes with these. Also throw them in the blender with your Gazpacho veggies. Healthy, Healthy

6 Claims, 4 Drawing Figures 1 SHOPPING CART BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION the check-out counter.
Shopping carts have been universally made of wire construction which renders such shopping carts relatively expensive. .The element of cost is a most significant one because of the extremely high percentage of theft of said shopping carts,.as well as a substantial percentage of damaging thereof resulting in unsatisfactory functioning thereof, ultimately requiring replacement.
- Notwithstanding the above, the shopping cart is an indispensable requirement for supermarkets so that the annual cost of replacement due to theft and damage is so substantial that it makes a significant dent in the profit'margin of the annual operation.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In accordance with the invention, there is provided a shopping cart made of two separate components, the first component comprising the chamber for receiving the purchased articles and the second'cor'nponent comprising the means for imparting mobility to the first component. I
Inaccordance with the invention, the first component is essentially a one-piece molded plastic housing, designed to provide sufficient strength and rigidity and defining a main upper chamber for receiving the purchased articles and a lower chamber adapted to cooperate with trolley means for imparting movement to the shopping cart. By providing a shopping cart made of said two components, with the first component being a one-piece molded plastic member, the cost thereof is considerably reduced without, however, sacrificing the basic characteristics of the component, namely, that of providing ample room for containing the articles being purchased and that of providing the mobility required therefor.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION oF THE DRAWING FIG. 1 is an elevational perspective view of the shopping cart in accordance with the invention;
FIG. 2 is a central vertical cross section thereof, on an enlarged scale;
FIG. 2A is a section taken along line 2A--2A of FIG. 1, on an enlarged scale; and I FIG. 3 is a top view of the trolley means for the cart.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT Referring now to the drawings, reference numeral identifies the shopping cart in accordance with the invention and comprises a main body portion 12 supported by trolley means 14. Main-body portion 12 is substantially a one-piece molded component defining an upper chamber 16 and a lower chamber 17. Upper chamber 16 is defined by sidewalls 18 and 20, front wall 22, and a bottom wall constituted by portions 24a and 24b, all of which are part of the integrally onepiece molded main body portion 12. A gate 26 extends between side walls 18 and 20 to define the rear wall of chamber 16, which gate is pivotally mounted between opposite ends of a handle 28. Bottom edge of gate 26 is provided with a pair of tabs 26a which cooperate with slots 27in bottom wall 24 to define stop means for said gate so that the latter, through gravity, normally defines a rear wall for chamber 16. Lower chamber 17 is defined by bottom wall portion 24b and downwardly extending walls 30, 32, 34 and 36, all of which also form part of the integral one-piece molded main body portion 12. Thus, it is seen that except for handle 28 and pivotally mounted gate 26, all other wall portions are produced in a single one-shot molding operation.
' The one-piece molded main body portion 12 is of substantially uniform width throughout, as for example, A inch, thus providing sufficient strength thereto. It will be noted, however, from an examination of FIGS. 1 and 2 in particular that various wall portions are deliberately deformed as at 27 to provide additional reinforcement as well as more desirable aesthetic effects in the shopping cart. Further as shwon in FIG. 2A, the rear portions of side walls 18 and 20 are double walled as at 29 also to impart greater strength to the cart.
The function of lower chamber or cavity 17 is to cooperate with trolley means 14 for the purpose of imparting easy mobility to main body portion 12 and thus define a complete shopping cart which is easily movable in a conventional manner as is done with existing shopping carts.
As best seen in FIGS. 2 and 3, trolley 14 comprises a pair of rail portions 38 joined by transverse rail portion 40. Conventional castors 42 are suitably mounted either directly on the rail portions and/or on the transverse member 44 to impart mobility to trolley 14. Rails 38 are provided with upwardly extending inverted U- shaped portions 46 adapted to be received within lower chamber 17. It will be understood that the relative dimensioning of lower chamber 17 and inverted U- shaped member 46 is preselected to enable-convenient assembly of main body portion 12 onto trolley 14 with the latter movably supporting the former. Inverted U- shaped portions 46 can fit within lower cavity 17 with downwardly extending walls 30, 32, 34 and 36 supported by rails 38, as shown, and/or there may be provided means for'releasably securing the inverted U- shaped members 46 to the walls of the cavity.
Referring to FIG. 1, it willbe noted that the sidewalls 18 and 20 of upper chamber 16 are in slightly converging relation to enable the nesting of one cart within the other, as conventionally done, through the pivotable gate 26. In this connection it will be understood that slots 27 are of sufficient width to enable tabs 26a to I clear said slots when gate 26 is pivoted inwardly for nesting purposes.
, fines the main load supporting element can be made of a suitable metal in order to perform its function satisfactorily. The overall cost of the combination defining v the shopping cart in accordance with the invention is clearly substantially lower than conventional shopping carts, thereby substantially reducing the loss factor due to theft. Furthermore, in the event of damage to the upper main body portion, replacement thereof can simply be made without requiring simultaneous replacement of the trolley portion, again contributing to the reduction of the overall replacement cost.
In addition, the utilization of a one-piece molded upper main body portion provides wall portions which, unlike the prior art, do not constitute conventional wire type grill work and thereby impart to such walls additional advantages. For example, the main body walls can be used for carrying informative or promotional material which may be incorporated during the molding thereof, printed directly thereon, or which may be easily secured to such walls, which is not a very realistic possibility in conventional wire type shopping carts.
While there is herein shown and described the preferred embodiment of the invention, it will be understood that the invention may be embodied otherwise than as herein specifically illustrated or described, and that in the illustrated embodiment certain changes in the details of construction and in the form and arrangement of parts may be made without departing from the underlying idea or principles of this invention within the scope of the appended claims.
Having thus described my invention what 1 claim and desire to secure by- Letters Patent is:
l. A shopping cart comprising:
a. a housing having an upper and lower compartment,
b. said upper compartment having a front wall, a pair of opposite sidewalls and a bottom wall,
c. said upper compartment bottom wall defining the top wall of said lower compartment, which lower compartment includes a front wall, a rear wall and a pair of sidewalls extending downwardly from said top wall,
d. said housing being formed of a one-piece integrally molded part,
e. trolley means, and
f. cooperating means on said trolley means and said lower compartment for supporting and imparting mobility to said shopping cart.
2. A shopping cart in accordance with claim 1, wherein said cooperating means comprise upwardly extending portions on said trolley means adapted to be received within said lower compartment for movably supporting said housing.
3. A shopping cart in accordance with claim 1, wherein said trolley means are removably securable to said housing.
4. A shopping cart in accordance with claim 1, wherein there is provided a handle having opposite ends supported by said upper compartment sidewalls and a gate pivotally mounted between said handle ends to define a rear wall for said upper compartment.
5. A shopping cart in accordance with claim 4, wherein there is provided cooperating means on said gate and said bottom wall to define a stop for said gate in a'position to define said rear wall for said upper compartment.
6. A shopping cart in accordance with claim 5, wherein said last mentioned cooperating means comprise at least one downwardly extending tab on said gate and, at least, one slot in said bottom wall in alignment with said tab, said slot being sufficiently wide to provide clearance for said tab when said gate is pivoted inwardly for nesting purposes.
