Tin soldiers museum
Since 1985 the old townhall of Ommen is housing a unique museum. This museum shows over 200.000 cultural historic figures in tin and is the only true national museum of "tin soldiers" from the Netherlands. It's for people that stay in these region a nice attraction to go to on a rainy or codl day.
The churches of Ommen (part 3)
Compressed in between new blocks with appartments and some offices, a graceful tower is rising up to the heavens. This is the tower of the Reformed church in Ommen, the thrid in it's kind in the centre of the old Hanze-town. Almost equally high is the church building itself, forming a high pyramid in modern aged architecture.
Walk around the centre
Walks through the Ommen centre are pleasant and can be combined with some shopping in the little houses. Start is best from the parking along the provincial road near the bridge over the river "Vecht" and the rmearkable old town hall. A quick walk can take only an hour, but one can also look into some details a bit more and make a pleasant day out.
The Roman Catholic church in Ommen
Little hidden in between the houses, just West from the centre, lays the small and modest Roman Catholic church of Ommen in the midst of it's own cemetry. The small church appears to be old but is dating back to the 19th century. The architecture is simple and the church is small. Catholicism in these regions is not as wide spread as in the Southern provinces and the church is obviously adjusted to the amount of Catholics in this region.
The green riversides of the Vecht valley
The "Vecht"river is a small river that runs straight through the province of Overijssel and starts in Germany. It is known for it's many curves and bents, as well as for it's quick rising at high water (due to rainfall in the region). The name "Vecht" is somewhat confusing as there is a more famous river "Vecht" flowing between Utrecht and Amsterdam. In Dutch we often add "Utrechtse" and "Overijsselse" to specify the river that we are talking about. The "Overijsselse Vecht" has wonderful green surroundings and is a pleasure to follow by bike or in a canoe. Forests, ackres and fields make the landscape a constant changing scenery, in which villages and large farmhouses show the human presence.
N.H. (Dutch reformed) church in Ommen
Most present of all building within Ommen is for sure the Nederlands Hervormde (Dutch Reformed) church in the centre of town. The remarkable white tower sticks out over everything else and tells us how late it is. The stone ship of the church is large and fills the church square from where shoppingstreets are leading into the small centre of Ommen.
The church dates back to 1150, but has been rebuilt and medified throughout the centuries at least a dozain times. Inside the church the Roman baptismal font, made of Bentheimer sandstone is worth a look at, as well as the 17th century pedistal.
The old tol house as well as town hall
Start is best from the parking along the provincial road near the bridge over the river "Vecht" and the rmearkable old town hall. This building used to be a tol house for the bridge and the river from 1492. In 1828 the present building was placed as town hall of Ommen, but in 1982 the administration was moved. now it houses the tin figures museum.
Walk outside the centre, the "Oudheidskamer"museum
The Ommen surroundings are a wonderful natural cultural area that can be described as an ultimate farmers countryside. Large old farmhouses in a mixed landscape of small forests, ackres and fields. About this farmer's land with it's typical and regional customs, a small museum in the windmill "Den Oordt" and the tolhouse next to it (it originally stood in Den Ham). It shows a collection of old cultural historical items, such as fossiles and stones, furniture, a small planetarium, documents, books, coins, regional cloths and jewelerydrawings pictures etc. It is quite a museum, especially for such small space that it is put in.
The windmills of Ommen (part 2)
This windmill is older then the Lilly and dates from 1806. The windmill is also open in the season, but is no longer operational fulltime. The name "Konijnenbelt" actually means "Rabits hill", though a "Belt" in Dutch is particularly meaning a hill on which a windmill is built. Other windmills in Ommen are:
Van Vilsteren (from 1858)
Den Oordt (from 1824, see "oudheidskamer museum") and the Besthmener mill" (from 1862) in nearby village Besthmen.
The windmills of Ommen
Ommen has in total five windmills of which three are in the town (village) itself. First one to mention is "De Lelie" (the Lilly) that was restored 25 years ago and looks mighty fine. It belongs to the "richer" windmills in the Netherlands, built from natural stones and originates from 1846. The windmill operates and in the shop one can by all kinds of (grinded) products from the windmill itself.

Photograph - by George Rayner, Deception Island, Antarctica, Nov 1929 Reg. No: ST 041520
- Summary:
- Photograph taken during an expedition to Antarctica and sub-antarctic islands, circa 1929. Probably taken by George Rayner.
Deception Island is part of the South Shetland Islands situated off the northern tip of the Antarctic Peninsula, at a latitude of 63 degrees South. Formed by volcanic activity, its visible land mass takes the form of a horseshoe surrounding a large centre bay known as Port Foster, which was created when seawater flooded the caldera of an ancient volcanic crater. Over half the land mass is covered by glaciers, while on the eastern side of the island Mt Pond rises to an elevation of 542 metres (1, 778 ft). Although Port Foster is one of the most sheltered harbours in Antarctica, its only entrance is a narrow 230 metre wide channel called Neptunes Bellows which opens to the south-east and is protected by sub-surface rocks.
Whalers Bay is a natural cove with a wide black sandy beach which lies just inside Neptunes Bellows. It was first used by sealers in the 19th century, before a Norwegian-Chilean company established a Whaling Station there in 1906. By 1914 there were 13 whaling factory ships operating out of Whalers Bay, but a drop in whale oil prices during the Great Depression, saw it close in 1931. The British operated a scientific base at Whalers Bay from 1944 till the late 1960s when it was abandoned due to volcanic activity in the vicinity.
- Description Of Content:
- Debris on beach, Whalers Bay, Deception Island, November 1929.
In the foreground are broken wooden packing crates and two small upturned boats. In the middle ground is an aircraft fuselage (without wings), possibly in the process of being assembled, covered by a tarpaulin. In the background on rising ground are two long single-gabled buildings that appear to be dormotories for a scientific station or whaling base, surrounded by deep snow drifts.

Eggs Benedict with Smoked Salmon & Chives
|White wine vinegar
|2 Tablespoon
|English muffins
|2 , halved
|1 Teaspoon (Leveled)
|Smoked salmon slice
|Chopped chives
|1 Teaspoon
|Lemon juice
|2 Teaspoon
|White wine vinegar
|2 Teaspoon
|Egg yolks
|Unsalted butter
|4 1⁄2 Ounce, diced (125 Gram)
1. First make the Hollandaise sauce. Put the lemon juice and vinegar in a small bowl, add the egg yolks and whisk with a balloon whisk until light and frothy. Place the bowl over a pan of simmering water and whisk until mixture thickens. Gradually add the butter, whisking constantly until thick - if it looks like it might be splitting, then whisk off the heat for a few mins. Season and keep warm.
2. To poach the eggs, bring a large pan of water to the boil and add the vinegar. Lower the heat so that the water is simmering gently. Stir the water so you have a slight whirlpool, then slide in the eggs one by one. Cook each for about 4 mins, then remove with a slotted spoon.
3. Lightly toast and butter the muffins, then put a couple of slices of salmon on each half. Top each with an egg, spoon over some Hollandaise and garnish with chopped chives.

In Reply to: Is a Jack Russel right for me>
: I am considering purchasing a JRT. I am currently in the process of opening a sporting goods store carring hunting equipment. I was interested in a Jack Russel because of their intellegence. I planed to take the dog with me to work everyday. I have experiance training dogs. I have trained english setters to hunt quail. I was just wondering if, even with alot of training, will a jack russel be sutible to have around customers at my store?
If you start your dog out with this routine as a pup (after all of its shots) and get it well socialized you shouldn't have too much of a problem. But make sure to get it spayed/neutered early as this will help to lessen any aggressive and possible territorial tendancies.
You must also make sure that the dog doesn't take off everytime the door is opened, these guys are pretty quick. So a definite course in obedience would be needed.
A well socialized dog should be good around lots of people, and a JRT is no exception.

SMBs – Desktops in the Cloud, or Symantec Endpoint Virtualization?
• • 1 Comment
Whilst new SMBs may be dabbling with online application suites, the bulk of the established SMB workload, however, is done in desktop applications, typically Microsoft Office, running in various flavours of Windows with a Windows Server. This is definitely not in the cloud, and there are lots of very good reasons why it won't be, and less radical solutions are likely to offer more benefit.

Capacity Planning and Capacity Management are essential activities for any production virtualization deployment, and should be supported with appropriate tools that support the target hypervisor(s). However, the emerging need in this area is for true Infrastructure Performance Management – as these solutions give the IT Operations staff the information that they need to be able to confidently support Tier 1 applications in production – while being able to demonstrate the performance of the virtualized system to the applications owners and business constituencies.

Virtualizing Linux on IBM Mainframe – Now more affordable than ever!
• • 3 Comments
IBM has reduced the price of its Mainframe/Linux platform, providing an IBM price point and feature benchmark against which to compare the consolidated offerings which are starting to emerge from competing vendors, such as the Acadia group (Cisco, EMC, or VMware) and HP/Microsoft.
It is clear that once virtualization started delivering hard dollar CAPEX and OPEX savings to IT executives that these executives wanted this trend of "more for less" to continue. Most IT organizations are far from 100% virtualized, and there are still substantial cost savings to be gained from further virtualization. However, forward thinking vendors (like Cisco, EMC, and HP) see the handwriting the wall and are taking steps now to be able to deliver solutions at reduced costs to their customers.

Virtualization Splits Up the Performance Management Business
• • 4 Comments
Virtualization has been a catalyst for significant changes in the performance management business at all layers of the IT stack (from hardware to transaction). These changes have only begun. As the more and more tier 1 applications get migrated over to a virtual infrastructure, these vendors will advance their functionality, and more vendors will jump into the fray. It is also highly likely that over the next 24 months, the larger traditional vendors (HP, IBM, BMC) will get more active in this space – driven primarily by the fact that CA has now gotten active via its acquisition of NetQos.

HPRC Blog
Welcome to the HPRC Blog. We've got lots of information here, from quick tips to in-depth posts about detailed human performance optimization topics.
HPRC Fitness Arena: Physical Fitness
Increasing your flexibility with a regular stretching routine can help improve your performance by allowing your joints to move with greater range of motion (ROM) with each step, swing, or turn. Stretching also is a great way to increase the blood flow to your muscles, so it can be helpful prior to PT or sporting events. You can start increasing your flexibility with simple stretching and foam rolling exercises; check out our Performance Strategies for tips on how to begin.
Previously HPRC reported on how much physical activity healthy adults need. This week, the spotlight's on children and teenagers—and whether they're getting the exercise they need.
According to the Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans, children and adolescents need at least 60 minutes of physical activity every day, including:
- Aerobic exercise for most of the 60 minutes. Most days can include either vigorous-intensity activities (such as running, swimming, and jumping rope) or moderate-intensity activities (such as walking or skateboarding), but at least three days a week it should include at least some vigorous-intensity exercise. Check out Let's Move! for ideas on how to get active as a family.
- Muscle-strengthening activities such as playing tug of war, exercising with resistance bands, or climbing on playground equipment. Strengthening exercises should be done at least three times a week. For safety guidelines on strength training for children and teens, check out this article from HPRC.
- Bone-strengthening (impact) activities such running, jumping rope, basketball, tennis, and hopscotch. Impact activities strengthen bones and promote healthy growth and also should be done at least three times a week.
For more ideas on moderate- and vigorous-intensity aerobic activities, as well as muscle-strengthening and bone-strengthening physical activities, check out the table in Chapter 3: Active Children and Adolescents of the Physical Activity Guidelines. For more ideas on getting fit as a family check out Let's Move, a comprehensive initiative by the First Lady. For military-specific resources, check out HPRC's Family & Relationships domain.
There are more than 200,000 women in the military today—almost 15% of active duty members. Not surprisingly then, pregnancy in the military has become a hot health topic as more and more women choose to serve. Even though most women should exercise during pregnancy, pregnant women still engage in less physical activity than their non-pregnant counterparts. Being active during pregnancy has a lot of health benefits, including maintaining a healthy weight and reducing risk of gestational diabetes and preeclampsia, stress, operative or assisted deliveries, and labor time. Remember this very important message – Don't ignore pain or fatigue; listen to your body and consult your healthcare provider if you have concerns!
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) recommends that healthy pregnant women engage in moderate-intensity aerobic exercise at least 150 minutes a week, which comes out to around 20-30 minutes a day. Women who already engage in vigorous-intensity exercise can continue physical activity at this level as long as they remain healthy and check with their healthcare provider about when to adjust activity levels (and what limits they should keep in mind). A healthy fetus is not adversely affected even by vigorous exercise, but be careful that you don't overdo it. Remember that your body is changing with pregnancy—it may take more effort to do the same exercises you did before you were pregnant, and you may not realize when you're pushing yourself too hard. Monitor your heart rate and use tools such as the talk test to gauge intensity. The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) has adopted the age-based heart rate ranges for pregnant women from the Society of Obstetricians and Gynecologists of Canada.
After giving birth, you may find that the "baby weight" gained during pregnancy is stubbornly hanging around. Excess weight carries a whole host of adverse health risks, so keep moving—even walking for 45 minutes three to four times per week at low to moderate intensity can reduce risk of chronic disease. As with any exercise program, resuming activity after giving birth should be a gradual process (after consulting with your Doctor).
Certain general precautions should be taken with exercise during pregnancy. Avoid contact sports and exercises that increase the risk of falling. Avoid exercises that require stomach-down (supine) positions, with the exception of swimming during pregnancy, which doesn't place stress on your joints like other forms of exercise do. Regular exercise before you get pregnant can help you prepare for the physical changes that occur during pregnancy and keep you ready and resilient for your family and your military service.
If you're pregnant, keep in mind there isn't any consensus about exercising at altitude, so it's even more important to know the symptoms of acute mountain sickness (AMS). Take time to acclimatize if you travel to altitudes above 2500 meters and allow two or three days before exercising moderately. Wait for complete acclimatization before engaging in heavy exercise.
First and foremost, however, if you become pregnant, consult with your healthcare provider before starting or continuing any exercise routine. Also, each service branch has its own policies regarding pre- and post-natal exercise (available via HPRC's pregnancy resources page).
Getting enough exercise is important to everyone's mental and physical health in order to achieve optimal performance. Active-duty Warfighters usually get enough exercise in the course of their mission, but for the rest of us in the sphere of the military—family members, desk warriors, and the like—it can take more effort, so sometimes it's helpful to review.
The Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans recommend that:
Aerobic exercise: For health benefits, adults should do at least 2.5 hours (or 150 minutes) a week of moderate-intensity exercise, or 75 minutes a week of vigorous-intensity aerobic physical activity, or an equivalent combination of moderate- and vigorous-intensity exercise.
- For the greatest health benefits, adults should do aerobic exercise of moderate intensity for five hours, or 300 minutes, weekly, or 2.5 hours or 150 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic exercise, or an equivalent combination of both.
- Do aerobic activity for at least 10 minutes at a time, preferably spread throughout the week.
- Don't know how to gauge your exercise intensity? Check out ACSM's video on aerobic intensity or the description from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Examples of moderate-intensity activities include walking at three miles an hour, water aerobics, biking less than 10 mph, and gardening; vigorous-intensity activities include jogging or running, swimming laps, singles tennis, biking more than 10 mph, jumping rope, and hiking. Another method for determining exercise intensity is to keep track of your heart rate; use this explanation from CDC for how to determine your target heart rate for various activity levels.
- A general guideline for time spent exercising is that two minutes of moderate-intensity activity is equal to one minute of vigorous-intensity activity.
- For exercise ideas, check out ACSM's video on types of aerobic exercise and/or HPRC's Performance Strategies on Rebuilding Cardiovascular Fitness.
Strength training: Do muscle-strengthening exercises (resistance of moderate or high intensity) that involve all major muscle groups at least twice a week.
- For muscle strengthening, try doing 8–12 repetitions for each type of exercise. Do at least one set, but try for two or three sets for more benefits, at least twice a week!
- Be sure to work out your major muscle groups, including legs, hips, back, abdomen, chest, shoulders, and arms.
- For some muscle strengthening ideas, check out ACSM's handout on basic strength-training exercises to do with just your bodyweight or their video of some basic moves you can do at home. Or try ACE's step-by-step workouts for a total body workout, a30-minute lunch workout, total body conditioning for parents, and many more. Also, check out HPRC's Performance Strategies on improving your Muscle Strength as well as your Core Strength!
Finally, remember to stretch after your workouts. For some basic ideas on stretching, check out ACSM's pictorial sheet, their video on stretching basics, or HPRC's Performance Strategies to "Improve your flexibility."
Injury prevention is the key to optimizing soldier-athlete performance, which is why Fort Benning deployed Musculoskeletal Action Teams (MATs) to their 194th Armored Brigade and their 198th Infantry Brigade as part of a two-year pilot study. The MATs consist of physical therapists, physical therapy technicians, athletic trainers, and strength-conditioning coaches. MATs have three main principles: injury prevention, precision PRT, and human performance optimization. The MATs offer basic trainees injury screenings, early treatment of minor injuries, and instruction on proper training technique. Trainees are also given guidance on correct footwear, management skills, and strategies to prevent common exercise mistakes that may lead to injury, as well as briefings on subjects like nutrition and preventative exercises.
The aim of this study is to educate soldier athletes. By learning to manage your own health and fitness, you're more prepared to complete your mission safely. The goal: You and your fellow soldier athletes should have less need for medical treatment facilities because you'll be equipped with your own preventative strategies, which you can use throughout your career. This study is also being conducted at Fort Ill, OK, Fort Lee, VA, and Fort Leonard, MO. The study will wrap up in April 2013, at which time the researchers will evaluate the results.
Do you see physical education classes decreasing in your children's schools compared to the PE you had when you were younger? Do you want to help your children be active and eat healthier, but you don't know where to start? Tell your children's school about the American Council on Exercise (ACE) program called Operation Fit Kids, which consists of two curricula for educators (free to download after completing a survey): one for 3rd to 5th graders and another for 6th to 8th graders. They provide seven lessons with lesson plans, worksheets, and activities a group can do to learn and practice being healthy. After all, practice makes perfect!

Strength training is an important aspect of military fitness and resilience. Building muscle through strength and endurance training can increase bone density, improve balance and stability, and reduce your risk for injury. There are several training options for getting strong: free weights, machine weights, body-weight exercises, and/or circuit training are all effective strategies for building muscle. For more details, read HPRC's Performance Strategies for Muscular Strength. If you have never done a resistance-training program, learn the proper form first by working out with a professional instructor, which will keep you injury-free and help you choose a program you can stick with. Training for the PFT/PRT? Read more about building muscular strength and endurance for optimal test results.
Water/pool workouts and swimming are great ways to give aching joints a break or recover from an injury and still get in a good workout. Exercising in the water provides the same aerobic fitness benefits as exercising on land. In fact, exercising in water may be less work for your heart; it pumps out more blood per beat, and heart rates are slightly slower. What's more, pressure from the water speeds blood flow back to your heart, where your blood gets the oxygen that your muscles need during exercise.
Aquatic exercise is great for most people, including older and younger folks. Consider jumping in a pool to reduce stress and the risk for overuse injuries and as an alternative to your usual exercise routine.
Military servicewomen are exempt from physical fitness tests for a minimum of six months after giving birth. For many, though, this may not be enough time to get back to pre-pregnancy fitness levels. To date, studies have found that after pregnancy many active-duty women had slower run times, were not able to do as many push-ups, and had lower overall fitness scores compared to their pre-pregnancy fitness tests. One Air Force study found that sit-ups were the only component of the fitness test that didn't change after pregnancy, despite increases in abdominal circumference. While exercise is generally recommended for women during pregnancy, there are many reasons why a lot of women stop, decrease, or are unable to do physical training during this time—having a baby is exhausting! Lack of sleep and sleep disturbances, quality and quantity of family support systems, breastfeeding needs, hormonal changes, and the physical stress of childbirth all impact recovery and performance. Getting back into an exercise routine takes time and patience. Discuss any possible restrictions with your doctor before starting. Begin slowly and at lower intensities until you feel stronger. Brisk walking, especially with your baby, is good exercise and good bonding time.

Chapel Hill - A UNC physician authored an editorial in the July 27 online issue of the Journal of the National Cancer Institute (JNCI) commenting on results of an analysis of the cost effectiveness of colonoscopy versus computed tomographic colonography (CTC).
The cost effectiveness analysis concluded that CTC or "virtual" colonoscopy is not cost effective compared with colonoscopy if reimbursed at the same rate as colonoscopy.
Both CT colonography and colonoscopy examine the inside of the colon (the large intestine) for either cancer or large polyps (growths that could become cancer). CTC colonography does this examination indirectly, using a CT scan (a type of x-ray). Colonoscopy does this examination directly, using a camera on the end of a tube inserted into the colon.
Unfortunately, there has been no "comparative effectiveness" study to compare the benefits and harms of CTC with colonoscopy. So the researchers in the JNCI article used simulation models to compare the two tests in an unscreened population of Medicare beneficiaries ages 65 to 80 years. These models use mathematics to estimate what would happen if one used one test compared with the other.
Russell Harris, MD, MPH, professor of medicine at UNC and a member of UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center, wrote the editorial accompanying the cost-effectiveness study.
In his editorial, Harris notes that cost-effectiveness analyses are useful, but that they often cannot include some important considerations. In this case, Harris shows how the cost-effectiveness analysis could not include some of the potential harms of both CTC and colonoscopy. For example, CTC often leads to finding abnormalities outside the colon (such as in the kidneys or adrenal glands) that require further testing and even surgery, yet finding these abnormalities usually does not help people live longer.
Colonoscopy often leads to removing smal

Product description
Once in a generation a woman comes along who changes everything. Tina Fey is not that woman, but she met that woman once and acted weird around her. Before 30 Rock, Mean Girls and 'Sarah Palin', Tina Fey was just a young girl with a dream: a recurring stress dream that she was being chased through a local airport by her middle-school gym teacher. She also had a dream that one day she would be a comedian on TV. She has seen both these dreams come true. At last, Tina Fey's story can be told. From her youthful days as a vicious nerd to her tour of duty on Saturday Night Live; from her passionately halfhearted pursuit of physical beauty to her life as a mother eating things off the floor; from her one-sided college romance to her nearly fatal honeymoon - from the beginning of this paragraph to this final sentence. Tina Fey reveals all, and proves what we've all suspected: you're no one until someone calls you bossy.

Author information
Tina Fey was the first female head writer of Saturday Night Live and created, writes and stars in 30 Rock. She has received numerous awards for her comedy writing, including the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor, 5 Emmys, and 5 Writers Guild Awards. She also wrote and appeared in the acclaimed and wildly popular movie Mean Girls.
Review quote
A masterpiece in comedy writing...I was hooked from the first word Sunday Telegraph Mightily enjoyable ... Bossypants shows that 30 Rock's voice is very much Fey's voice: pithy, smart and as ironic as being run over by an ambulance ... if she has a point to make, if she feels something deeply, she can make it funny. That's why she is a great comedian The Times My love for the divine Tina Fey is river deep, mountain high ... Bossypants is as hilarious, candid and self-deprecating as fangirls like me would expect -- Lauren Laverne Grazia Wry, clever, biting and brilliant Daily Telegraph

Branston, S.D.; (2010) An investigation of the properties of bacteriophage M13 and the implications for its large-scale bioprocessing. Doctoral thesis, UCL (University College London).
|PDF - Requires a PDF viewer such as GSview, Xpdf or Adobe Acrobat Reader
Bacteriophage are a diverse class of viruses that infect bacterial cells. As a result of over 60 years of molecular biology advances, bacteriophage today feature as candidates for vaccination, gene therapy, biomaterial and antibacterial purposes. Consequently, scientific, commercial and public awareness of bacteriophage is growing rapidly. There is now an increasing need for the establishment of strong biochemical engineering foundations to serve as a guide for future bacteriophage bioprocessing. It has been the purpose of this study to contribute towards this knowledge base, by understanding the properties of the filamentous bacteriophage M13. Ultimately, this work has aimed to allow for the more efficient assembly of a large-scale production process. By the application of well-understood small-scale predictive techniques, it has been found that bacteriophage M13 should not be severely damaged by hydrodynamic shear forces of the duration and magnitude imparted by fermentation, pumping or continuous centrifugation operations. Thus, it may well be possible to manufacture on the large-scale using existing large-scale equipment designs. Amongst bacteriophage, the reproduction strategy of M13 is unusual in that propagation occurs by the non-lethal extrusion of progeny through the cell wall of the E. coli host. Investigation of bacteriophage M13 propagation indicated that growth in a medium that increased host cell density concomitantly increased bacteriophage yield; a four-fold increase to 2 x 1012 pfu ml-1 was achieved. At the end of culture, concentrations of supernatant DNA and protein contaminants were found to vary amongst three E. coli strains studied. Post-fermentation, bacteriophage M13 can be precipitated from the cell-free process fluid by as little as 2 % (w/v) PEG 6 000 plus 25 mM magnesium sulphate, or by isoelectric precipitation. Purification factors in excess of 100 were achieved by PEG-salt precipitations with regards to the reductions in DNA and protein concentrations. Methods used in this study have increased the processing knowledge of bacteriophage M13 and have a broader applicability to both derivatives of M13 and other bacteriophage.

A Free Woman
By Joshua Hammer
On a warm December afternoon in Rangoon, the largest city in Myanmar, Aung San Suu Kyi, the Nobel Peace Prize laureate and the country's most popular politician, sat in the headquarters of the National League for Democracy. It is a crumbling two-story cinder-block building, with peeling green paint, exposed electrical wires, and tattered posters of Che Guevara, Aung San Suu Kyi, and her father, Aung San, a Burmese freedom fighter who helped negotiate the country's independence from Great Britain. The N.L.D. is the main opposition party to the current military regime, and Aung San Suu Kyi, who is sixty-five, has been its nominal head since 1988. In November, the regime staged an election, and managed to extend its hold on power for five more years. A week after the vote, Aung San Suu Kyi was released from her family's lakefront villa in northern Rangoon, where she had served seven years of house arrest.

Wow, a second post in one day, that doesn't happen very often lately. I made these cards this afternoon and I love them. They are Clean & Simple (no sewing!!), monochromatic and pretty!!
These cards are Pink Pirouette and Pale Plum, I haven't used Pale Plum in so long, I think one of my favorite colors now. I stamped the pretty butterfly using Pink and Clear Ink and in both cases heat embossed with Clear Embossing powder. After that I put them in the Cuttlebug machine, one was embossed and the other one debossed (hope you can see that on the pictures)
I sponged the borders (butterflies and Pattern paper) and paper pierced around the center piece and stamped the sentiment at the bottom!! Some yummy White Satin Ribbon around and they are done!!
I used the Sketch from Card Patterns and a Fun Monochromatic Challenge from SPCC.
Card Recipe:
Card Stock: Pink Pirouette, Pale Plum.
Paper: Bo Bunny.
Stamps: Bliss and LOL (smARTworks)
Ink: Pink, Clear, Stazon Black.
Embellishments: White Satin ribbon (Offray), Pink Rhinestones (Kaiser Crafts).
Accessories: Paper piercing set, Heat gun, Clear embossing powder, stamp-a-ma-jig.
Hope you like them!!
Have a great day/night (for me).
PS: I have 2 cards for you tomorrow too!!

Losing the Plot
Suffering the consequences of the Narrative bacillus.
Oct 13, 2008, Vol. 14, No. 05 • By SAM SCHULMAN
Even now, in search of a narrative, the press constantly seeks to reveal the ending and name the hero before the story has reached its climax. Naturally, it finds itself dismayed, not excited, by new events in the actual world and changes in opinion among the real-life voters. In the campaign that takes place in real life, not narrative, new facts emerge constantly. New facts the press once upon a time called "news," which sold newspapers and grew audiences. Now, so invested are journalists in narratives that new facts and new personalities make them anxious and unhappy, instead of eager and interesting. And that anxiety they communicate to us--fewer and fewer of us--daily.
The news industry, which has thrived for centuries as a chorus reporting what it sees, now has seized the author's job and invents the plot. No wonder the audience for newspapers and television news has been dwindling so quickly. Reporters have developed an interest in producing outcomes that conform to a necessarily predictable plot. The modern audience, despite radical technological change, remains no different from any audience ever: It craves novelty, reversals of fortune, drama--it craves news.
As for me, it is not to flee the candidates that I'm striking for the Cretan isle, but to avoid even one more narrative. The excitement will be when I return. I wonder then if I will agree with Saint Paul? "Sirs, ye should have hearkened unto me, and not have loosed from Crete, and to have gained this harm and loss."
Sam Schulman, a writer in Virginia, is publishing director of the American.

This rare Japanese poster promotes the American movie French Peep Show, which was boob aficionado Russ Meyer's first sexploitation film in a long, infamous series of them. Shot at Oakland, California's El Rey Burlesk Theater, it was ostensibly a documentary about dancer Tempest Storm's quest to make it as a performer, but of course was really just an excuse to film a burlesque show and use the medium of cinema to export it to the masses. The film is presumed lost, which is too bad, because in addition to Storm, it featured Lily Lamont, Terry Lane, Shalimar, Marie Voe, and others. The poster is composed of three famous shots of Storm, one of which we shared a while back, the others of which you see below. You can read a bit more about French Peep Show here. It premiered in the U.S. in 1950, but reached Japan this month in 1954.

This photo made today in 1959 shows a woman named Jessie Mae Noah, who Los Angeles police had arrested and were questioning in connection to a crime that had occurred seven weeks earlier. On that December night a Samuel Goldwyn Studios suit named Kenneth Savoy walked into the In Between Café on Melrose Avenue during the time two men—one holding a sawed-off shotgun—were in the process of robbing it. Having collected the money and valuables of eight patrons and the contents of the cash register, they demanded Savoy's wallet, and perhaps having watched too many of his own movies, he replied that if they wanted it they'd have to shoot him. That hard-boiled response earned him a load of buckshot in the stomach. The robbers scampered to their getaway car—where Jessie Mae Noah was waiting in the rear seat—and fled the scene.
After police published composite sketches of the robbers in the newspapers, Noah contacted police, resulting in the photo op above. The robbers—George Scott and Curtis Lichtenwalter—were arrested later (for those who wonder whether composite sketches ever work, check the comparison between Scott and his likeness at bottom).
Scott had fled all the way to Texarkana, Arkansas, and gave up only after a shoot-out with police at a motel. Jessie Mae Noah claimed she'd had no idea her two acquaintances were planning a robbery, and that she had simply gone for a ride with them for kicks. She avoided a murder charge, but Scott and Lichenwalter were both found guilty of robbery and first degree homicide. Scott—the triggerman—was gassed to death by the state of California in September 1960. And as for the victim Kenneth Savoy, you have to wonder what he thought in that instant when the shotgun went off. We suspect he thought that maybe calling bluffs was something best left to the stars of action films.

Jayne Mansfield rides off into the night with her new husband, Hungarian bodybuilder and former Mr. Universe Miklós Hargitay, better known as Mickey Hartigay, after their wedding in Portuguese Bend, California, today in 1958. In addition to riding off with Mansfield, Hargitay rode into the pages of the tabloids. As a noted figure in the fitness and bodybuilding world, he had been moderately famous before, but now, as a superstar's husband, his every excursion, utterance, change in appearance, and career rumor was exhaustively documented and sold to the public. The marriage lasted six years, which is not bad by Hollywood standards, and the pair had three children, one of whom is actress Mariska Hargitay. See more on Mickey here.

Although Green was probably never aware of it, legal authorities often cited his case during the long battle over the constitutionality of the death penalty in California. The idea put forth by the pro-death penalty side around 1960 was that even though Green's commuted sentence specified "without possibility of parole," there was no actual reason in California jurisprudence or the state constitution that he could not be released. All that was required was for an appropriate state authority to decide to do it. They felt therefore that anti-death penalty campaigners' assurances that criminals could be imprisoned for life if such punishment was deemed necessary meant nothing. No matter the language of the original life sentence, any criminal could later be released. Green doubtless would have found all this fascinating, but none of it ever came to affect him. As far as we can tell, he did in fact spend the rest of his life in San Quentin.

National Informer Weekly Reader once again dabbles in real journalism with a piece about Juan Corona, the Mexican-born killer who in 1971 committed what was at the time America's largest serial murder. Corona was violent-tempered, savagely homophobic, schizophrenic, had been institutionalized earlier in his life and had endured electroshock treatments. When he finally snapped and went on his spree it was to rape and murder twenty-five male farm laborers during a six-week period and bury them in the orchards around Yuba City, California.

The excellent promo above for Le femme et le rôdeur, aka The Unholy Wife was created by Roger Soubie, one of the best French poster artists of the mid-century period. His art drew us to the movie, which we watched only to discover Diana Dors in identical grime mode as in her prison drama Yield to the Night. Not only do both productions feature Dors locked down with her blonde tresses gone brown due to lack of available dye, but both involve her being on death row for murder. Since The Unholy Wife was the next film she did after Yield to the Night we can only assume her initial foray into crime and incarceration was such a success it needed to be repeated. Like almost exactly. Unfortunately, two visions of a bruise-eyed Dors about to receive state-sponsored revenge were too much for audiences, and her repeat excursion was roundly panned.
And sadly, we must agree. Dors is living in California and is married to a Napa winery baron, but since she's also sharing her affections with a hot young lover, she soon ponders murdering her unsuspecting hubby for his estate. When we lived in Berkeley, just south of the California wine country, we rarely pondered anything more than sunlit grapes and a nice Schug Syrah. But okay, The Unholy Wife is a film noir, which means Dors is no more happy with her heaven-on-Earth existence than a Wall Street stockbroker is with his untaxable Cayman Islands shadow fortune. Both inexplicably want more. Dors starts the film in prison and tells her story via flashback, so we already know her schemes backfired. If only the same were true for stockbrokers. The Unholy Wife premiered in England in the summer of 1957 and premiered in France today the same year.

The shot at top of Windward Avenue in Venice, California was made around 1905. Owned by the Venice Historical Society, the image caught our eye because we were just there in July (actually, we used to live in Venice). The second shot was made from basically the same angle in 1939. Note how most of the original Venetian gothic windows have disappeared, and the gothic cornices have likewise vanished. In addition to the buildings, Venice had sixteen miles of canals, but by the time of the 1939 photo all but 1.5 miles of those had been filled in. During the 1950s financial neglect began to turn Venice into a slum, and in the following years not only did the remaining gothic elements go, but also most of the structures. Today the famed colonnade of Windward Avenue fronts only five buildings.

The above photo shows twenty-two-year-old Eddie M. Gonzalez, who was discovered dead behind a service station located at 3822 E. Olympic Boulevard in Los Angeles. In the background is police detective A.W. Frank. Police decided the cause of death was an accidental overdose, a deduction made thanks to fifty capsules of an unnamed drug found on the deceased's person. To us the whole scene looks strange—a well-dressed, well-groomed person in shiny shoes who can afford fifty capsules of drugs doesn't seem like the type who would need to ingest them behind a gas station and end up tangled in a pile of tires. And if suicide was his aim, why fifty leftover capsules? But maybe we're just conspiracy minded. The photo is part of the University of Southern California's digital archive and was taken today in 1952.

We've featured Pic magazine only once before, but not because it was an unimportant publication. Quite the opposite—we've seen issues as early as 1936 and as late as 1958, making it both a Depression and World War II survivor, presumably no easy feat and certainly a run indicative of sustained popularity. Early issues seemed focused on sports, but it soon broadened to include celebrities. It was launched by Wagner Publications of New York City, and this issue appeared in June 1952 with a cover featuring actress Suzan Ball placing a crown on the head of Akton Miller, a man Pic had chosen as its Hot Rod King. Inside you get a raft of Hollywood stars, including photos of Yvonne De Carlo in Uruguay, Marilyn Monroe, Janet Leigh, and Joan Vohs, shots of New York Giants manager Leo Durocher and his beautiful actress wife Laraine Day, and some nice boxing pictures. There's also an interesting feature on the day's top vocalists (with African-Americans notably excluded), and a profile of crooner Tony Bennett.
It was then that her train to stardom jumped the tracks. She injured her leg performing a dance number in East of Sumatra, and later in the year had a car accident and hurt the leg again. Treatment for those two injuries led to the discovery of a cancerous tumor. Soon afterward she fell and broke the limb, and when doctors decided they couldn't remove the tumor they instead took the entire the leg. That was in January 1954. Ball soldiered on in her show business career with an artificial leg, starring in Chief Crazy Horse, though she lost fifteen pounds during the production, and later playing nightclub dates and appearing on television shows. In July 1955 she collapsed while rehearsing for the show Climax, whereupon doctors discovered the cancer had metastasized and spread to her lungs. A month later she died at age twenty-one. We have about fifty scans below.

The Montreal Canadiens have been playing a more physical game all year under their new head coach Michel Therrien, but they took it to a new extreme against the Philadelphia Flyers on Monday night. It started with Canadiens forward Ryan White throwing what the referees deemed to be an elbow (replay shows that it was a shoulder) right to the jaw of Flyers defenseman Kent Huskins. Huskins went down immediately and looked to be in a lot of pain while his teammate Kurtis Foster jumped White and started to throw punches. Foster earned a double-minor for instigating a fight with a visor, a five-minute major for fighting and a ten-minute misconduct. White received five-minutes for fighting, a five-minute major for elbowing and a match penalty. Huskins did not return to the game and the match penalty means that a suspension will be coming for White. Despite it not actually being an elbow that hit Huskins, it was still clearly a headshot. Then later on in the game at 18:30 of the second...

I tried a sample of this foundation to replace Dior Light (a comparable product someone here said).
It *is* a nice foundation but to be honest I found it VERY heavy and not at all dewy. It was almost too much. My skin is quite good generally.
I'd be wary of buying a full size of this simply because I found it to be too much for my skin.

I have extraordinarly dry skin nearly every foundation drys it out. At first this foundation worked wonders, its easy to apply, it blends in nicely and it doesnt dry my skin out in the slightest however it doesnt last very long on the skin. I think as my skin got used to this foundation after a couple of months of use it started to look oily on my skin, I would go back to it though if my skin ever got that dehydrated again.

I used to really like this foundation in the beginning because it doesn't make my face dry and really moisturizes. But when I used this in a party I couldnt believe that my face looked a grayish, cakey and very shiny in the pictures . Since then I always blend this with my moisturizer to make it lighter and more natural looking.

It just feels good an the skin, and does not dry out, only problem it does not last all day.
I have been trying to find another foundation that is as moisturising as this one, but not found one yet, so keep coming back to this.

Though there are cheaper drugstore foundations that claim to be moisturizing, they're just not moisturizing enough for me. I like the fact that it comes in a squeezy lipgloss-like tube. There is no product waste, and can be easily stored upside down to get all the product out. I would repurchase, but not for a long while yet, even using this every day.
EDITED: Not moisturizing enough. I'm trying to use this up by mixing a bit into my regular foundation for a luminous look. For the price I paid, I'd rather have a foundation that's better than this. Sticking to bb cream for now.

So surprised at the rating this magic elixer got... I'm old ( 54 ) and this stuff actually makes my skin look moist and almost dewy. In buffalo. In winter. No weird breakouts. The coverage is quite buildable, and it blends easily with a foundation brush or fingers .Looks awesome with some bronzer powder. Love it!!!

This is the best foundation that I have ever tried.
I like the creamy gel like consistency that it has, it isn't the fullest coverage but it has coverage that is enough for my skin. I unfortunately have pretty dry flaky skin and this doesn't emphasize it or dry it even more like most do. It is very comfortable to wear. The staying power is pretty average, not impossible to get off but it doesn't wear off right away either. One thing that i'm not so struck on is the shimmery aspect of it, but when its on its not the most noticeable, but i would like it better if it was flat. I like the squeeze tube packaging, its easy and clean to use.
I'm definitely going to be using this foundation for a while.

This is a great foundation that comes in a handy plastic, easy to travel with, hygienic tube. I have fairly dry skin in the winter and this stuff leaves my face looking great - very fresh and dewy but not oily. I top it off with some Estee Lauder ReNutriv loose powder and I am good to go for the day. Stays on! I don't get the comments about the sparkles; I don't see them; I have checked my makeup when I am outside and in the car several times and I simply don't see any sparkles and neither does my Hubby! Super cheap at $23 or $24 a tube. Definitely worth a shot. You can always return it if you don't like it.

honestly it's a really nice foundation. enough coverage for my skin (which doesn't need much coverage) and nice finish.
but the only problem is it's glitter/sparkles!!! it's just too noticeable, I can't even hide it by using a powder. this is the only reason why I'm not going to repurchase this... it sucks because I wouldve really like this foundation

I found my HG color in Bisque, but I don't see it on the Clinique website now. Too bad, because I am a hard match, and this was terrific. My skin has cool undertones but sallow overtones, which is tricky. The worst mistake I make is to accidentally buy warm-colored foundations because they turn fake orange or sickly yellow on my face. The trick is to find a neutral base with just enough pink to push the foundation toward the color of my cheeks. Bisque was just right. It made my skin clear and glowing. Women with Mediterranean skin who look better in ash brown hair than gold or red hair and blue-red rather than yellow-red look great in this color.
My only complaints were these: Supermoisture Makeup has those obnoxious, opalescent mineral particles that are so popular now. I don't like sparkles on my face. Also, this makeup is difficult to remove. It requires makeup remover and pads. I prefer an easy soap-up in the shower followed by light moisterizer.
Optimally, I would love this color without the sparkes in a sheer, easy-to-remove base.

This shirt is not only visually excellent the quality is excellent as well. It doesn't feel cheap and the fabric is top of the line. It has great mobility and does not hinder your golf swing at all.

Real Estate
mapolis – How Ideas and Boldness change Society
M u n i c h - an online platform has managed to change the importance of the real estate industry within our society.
Just a few years ago the world was in a global, severe economic crisis. Loss of trust and reputation, criticism of exaggerated risky deals and manager salaries, non-transparent economic networks and investment products as well as the discussion about measures and consequences dominated public discourse.
This also had an impact on the real estate industry. Twelve real estate funds were closed down as a result of the crisis between October 2008 and October 2010, blocking nearly 40% of the approx. 80 billion Euros of investment money. The reason for closing them: the funds' liquidity issues. German real estate funds lost returns: In 2007, an average of 5.7% was made, in 2008 only 4.7%, and just about 2% in 2009. Equity ratio went down, execution sales and devaluations were the result.
During that time, the open online platform for the real estate industry mapolis was founded.
Transparency and credibility were the seed a change of values was to grow from in the building and real estate industry.
A community evolved, the so-called mapolists, the idea of which was to use their knowledge to contribute to transparency and professionalism within the industry.
Basically, anyone can participate in mapolis. With a free membership, you can upload the profiles of buildings, companies and people and to connect them with each other. More and more people made use of the cleverly designed structure of the platform to get information required for their everyday business, investment or for their search for a place of their own to live in.
More and more high-quality information was uploaded to mapolis, and new functionalities kept being added. The information network is becoming denser and denser and has turned into a full documentation of existing real estate properties.
Through content which has been created and completed by users, mapolis virtually sells itself by now and keeps spreading rapidly: On an international level as well as on the private sector, mapolis is now the dominating "platform for real estate property".

Superb Proof 1895 Dollar1895 $1 PR67 NGC. Both silver and gold U.S. coins have experienced singular extinction events that cast doubt on the reliability of mintage figures as guides to rarity. The gold recall of 1933 and the subsequent melting of millions of those coins have figured prominently in American numismatics. Just as dramatic, but somewhat less talked-about and understood, was the Pittman Act destruction of 1918, wherein more than a quarter of a billion Morgan dollars were reduced to bullion. Paul M. Green, in an article published in the November 13, 2007 edition of Numismatic News, wrote with understatement: "That Pittman Act melting ... really stirred the pot of confusion when it comes to Morgan dollars. When you destroy close to half of all the coins ever made of a certain type, as the Pittman Act did with Morgans, but have no record of what dates were involved, it can cause significant confusion."
With Speckled, Multicolored Toning Over Each Side
With Speckled, Multicolored Toning Over Each Side
Among the issues most confused by the Pittman Act melting was the 1895 Philadelphia Morgan dollar. Official records state that the mintage was 12,000 pieces. For multiple generations, until the Treasury releases of the 1960s, collectors wondered whether the business strike 1895 Morgans were waiting to be discovered. None turned up, and numismatists entertained the possibility that perhaps none had ever existed. Thanks to the Pittman Act meltings, whether business strikes were ever produced remains essentially an unanswerable question. What is undoubtable, however, is the existence of the year's proofs and their enduring desirability.
This is a magnificent example that is virtually perfect from a technical standpoint. Both sides display deep, speckled reddish-golden color, generally in the centers, with rich cobalt-blue around margins (again, generally). The depth of mirrored reflectivity in the fields shines brightly through the toning on each side. An outstanding, high grade example of this proof-only issue. Census: 11 in 67, 3 finer (11/09).(Registry values: N10218) (NGC ID# 27ZR, PCGS# 7330)

The sixth most powerful woman in the world, according to Forbes magazine last May, said Facebook users retain control of their data and personalised adverts do not compromise them.
In an interview with BBC Breakfast, she said: "Privacy is of the utmost concern and importance to Facebook and it's important to us that the people who use our service know we are very protective of them. It is their data, they have control of it, they share it.When we are able to personalise ads, we are doing that without sharing their private data with any advertisers."
Her comments follow the launch of the UK and Ireland SMB Council at the firm's international headquarters in Dublin, which aims to boost participation between Facebook and businesses.
Mrs Sandberg said working with small to medium-sized businesses was important because "the opportunity of this huge technological shift we're going through is one we can work together (on).
"We have 25 million small to medium-sized businesses around the world that use our free products to set up a page and use it to reach their customers."

Silent partner? Grant's involvement clouds $1.5 million Southbrook Mall deal
Greg Grant envisions big things for the aging, largely vacant Southbrook Mall in Whitehaven: New retail shops. A performing arts theater. A glimmering carousel.
Grant's vision, shared with city leaders in meetings a year ago, resulted in the Memphis City Council this month conditionally approving a $1.5 million grant for the project. Yet, according to an examination by The Commercial Appeal, Grant didn't mention in his pitch that he owes the federal government nearly $6 million.
Grant was tagged with a $5.9 million judgment in 2004 when then-U.S. Attorney Terry Harris convinced a judge that Grant cheated a federally funded health care program. The government showed a bus company owned by Grant submitted bogus bills by not carrying insurance and by claiming to have transported a TennCare patient to medical clinics when the patient was either in the hospital or getting treatment at home.
Grant said he's paid about $5,000 toward the debt but called the judgment "politically inspired'' and unfair. He said he asked recently that the U.S. Justice Department review the actions of U.S. Dist. Judge Jon McCalla.
McCalla found Grant submitted 3,306 false claims totaling $62,573. By law, he tripled those damages to $187,719 and then tacked on an additional $5.7 million in civil penalties.
The newspaper uncovered the nearly decade-old, unpaid judgment, along with fresh questions about Grant's role in the Southbrook project.
Grant says he has no financial interest in the project. In interviews last year, as questions rose about his ties to Councilwoman Janis Fullilove, he told reporters his role was simply that of a consultant who helped trigger government interest and who then severed his ties to the project.
Indeed, Grant seemed to disappear. He bowed out as a nonprofit took over, and even wrote a September 2012 letter to city Community Development Director Robert Lipscomb acknowledging he'd been a controversial distraction, saying, "I have removed myself from the project'' so that it might win funding.
Recently filed state records, however, list Grant as the registered agent for Southbrook Properties Inc., the nonprofit company set up to develop the project. An unannounced visit by a reporter to the mall last week found Grant's cellphone number listed on signs as the contact for businesses seeking to lease space in the mall. Tucked away near the rear of the mall, Grant keeps an office, where he moved last spring, and where he fielded the newspaper's questions.
"We need to fix that,'' Grant said as rainwater dripped into a wastebasket from the discolored ceiling. A series of large tubs scattered in the mall walkway caught even greater leaks. Once the city money comes through, priorities include fixing the roof as well as the building's central air, Grant said.
"Everyone has a past. And I do too. My position in life is to embrace my past,'' said Grant, 54, speaking of his long tenure in Shelby County Democratic Party politics. Over the years, he's feuded with former state senator Roscoe Dixon and City Court Clerk Thomas Long. He also served as local president of Rev. Al Sharpton's National Action Network. Grant said the focus shouldn't be on him but on the merits of the project, backed by African-American leaders trying to restore a struggling Whitehaven business district. Racial politics is standing in the way, he said.
"I'm not ashamed of this project.''
It's uncertain whether any city money will ever make it to the project. Although the Council voted 8-4 on Oct. 1 to divert $1.5 million in capital improvement project funds targeted for nearby Elvis Presley Boulevard to the mall, the council decided Tuesday to delay the appropriation until its attorneys determine whether it would amount to an illegal private use of public funds.
Meantime, some councilmen have festering questions about the merits of the project and who controls it.
"This was the worst project we ever approved,'' said Councilman Jim Strickland, who voted against it and believes the developers have not been straightforward about who controls it. Strickland questioned the development group's retail experience at the Oct. 1 meeting when he also asked for roster of Southbrook Properties' board of directors. He later said the answers he got seemed "intentionally mysterious.''
After learning details of the newspaper's visit to the mall last week, Strickland said he's even more disturbed about the mall's ownership and Grant's role in the project.
"It appears he's one of the principals. And that was not disclosed to the council,'' Strickland said.
Grant's role is actually something far less, said Willie Harper, 57, president of A & A Bail Bond, who, along with a partner, bought the mall for $200,000 at a 2010 foreclosure sale and deeded it last month to nonprofit Southbrook Properties of which he serves as chairman of the board. He said Grant is a "frat brother'' who is working free of charge as the project's adviser and organizer.
"It really isn't about money for me and him,'' Harper said. "I hope we can do something positive in the neighborhood.''
Grant surfaced as the public face of the Southbrook Mall renovation project about two years ago when developers began seeking public funds. But he disengaged following Fullilove's much-publicized, August 2012 arrest on a domestic violence charge. She was later found not guilty.
As news cameras rolled, Grant escorted Fullilove from jail following her arrest, walking hand-in-hand with the councilwoman, who shielded her face, That scene triggered questions about Grant's connection to Fullilove, a key backer of the Southbrook project.
"Janis Fullilove is a dear friend of mine. And she was in distress,'' Grant told WREG-TV. In that interview, Grant said his role was that of a consultant who got the project going. He indicated that he was no longer active in the project.
"We were the ones who worked to pull it together. We got it in a good, comfortable position,'' Grant said. " ... My job was over. End of story.''
Yet, records show that in March of this year — seven months after that interview — Grant filed and signed Southbrook Properties' annual report, listing himself as registered agent. Grant also paid the firm's $20 filing fee with a personal check.
A visit to the mall last week revealed signs taped to the glass doors out front and inside the mall reading, "Space Available,'' and listing Grant's cell phone number.
In a front parking lot, a black van labeled "TennCo Express Airport Shuttle'' was seen pulling out onto busy Shelby Drive. Records show the firm once was headed by Grant's brother, Alonzo. Though Internet directories list the Southbrook Mall as the address for TennCo Express and Memphis Tours, a company Greg Grant ran with Alonzo, Grant said neither company is active and neither has an office at Southbrook.
"I've got several vans I run,'' Grant said, saying a van in the parking lot doesn't equate to an office in the mall. "You may see one of our vans anywhere.''
After an initial round of quibbling, Grant agreed he maintains an office at Southbrook. He moved in about eight months ago, he said, describing the office as a place for him to meet with the project's general contractor, Bricks Inc., subcontractors and others involved in the project.
Asked about his comments last year contending he no longer was involved with the project, Grant said he stepped away temporarily but now is back as the project's consultant.
"I pulled back from the project initially to see if the criticism of me participating in the project had merit. (Then) the project went flat,'' he said, saying he re-engaged to get it moving again.
Grant agrees with Councilwoman Fullilove that public questioning of the project has a racial tone.
"People say, 'Well, don't talk about no black and white.' Well, I'm going to talk about black and white,'' Fullilove said earlier this month when the matter came to vote. "When it comes to black projects, why is it that we have to go through all of this red tape?''
Councilman Shea Flinn dismissed the suggestion that race played a role. "I don't know anyone who thinks this is going to work,'' Flinn said. "In the heyday of malls it didn't work.''
Although Mayor A C Wharton's administration backs the project, his community development director, Robert Lipscomb, offered tepid support last week.
"It has failed three of four times. Is this really our best thinking?'' Lipscomb recalled telling Grant.

A few small studies have shown that using vitamin C both orally
(in tablet form) and as a topical cream (applied directly to the cold sore) may
speed up the rate of healing of
cold sores.1 The liquid form
of vitamin C can be soaked in a cotton pad and applied to the cold sore several
times a day, and it can be used along with vitamin C tablets (at least
600 mg). But more research is needed
before the long-term benefits of using vitamin C to treat cold sores can be
confirmed. People with a history of kidney stones should avoid high doses of
vitamin C.
Cold sores usually heal on their own without prescription medicines
or complementary therapies.
