Which must in essence, of course,simply be the question "What do Imean by 'I'?"
in Charge, addressed Letzmiller outside Lee's room where he had just finished his examination. "Personally, I think things went exactly as they should. All physical and mental responses check out. I guess here's where I'm finished and you go to work."
Lee was sitting up in bed as Letzmiller entered. He looked just like he had in Letzmiller's office before the operation, except for the small white bandages around his head to protect his healing skull. "Well," the doctor said, "how do you feel? Your head hurt?"
* * * * *
Letzmiller checked at Oldenreid's office, and was admitted to give his report, as had been planned.
"Well?" asked Oldenreid.
Letzmiller lit the end of his cigar before answering. "I wholly agree with you. Everything seems to have worked out exactly according to plan. I found him essentially the same as he appeared to me during his pre-operative interview. Of course he's a little foggy yet, but I suppose that's just the post-operative shock."

A member of the band Stronger Than Dirt (a regular caller to the show) called into the Dennis and Judi Show to announce the band will be playing its last show together this weekend. This brought up the topic of local bands in New Jersey that are having trouble staying together due to a bad economy.
Last week, Dennis and Judi talked about the musical performances on NBC's Christmas in Rockefeller Center. Some of the performances may not have been the greatest and Carole King may have had the worst performance of the night. You can check out the video of Carole King and Neil Diamond performing below.

Well, I was seeking a cheaper product and this missed the mark! It did not work well with a sunscreen and I tried several. Very disappointing so I will stick with my more expensive moisturizer.

I have to say this is the best moisturizer I have ever used. I have oily, acne prone skin. Every moisturizer I have ever tried has either irritated, broken me out, left me an oil slick, or done absolutely nothing. This leaves me with wonderfully soft hydrated skin that lasts for hours... put on before bed my skin is still soft the next morning. It does not break me out, leaves a natural non-greasy finish on my skin, does not increase oil production during the day, and wears fantastic under makeup. It dries to a smooth non-tacky finish, and feels like nothing is on your face. The texture is a cream-gel, which sounds weird, but is the most accurate I can think of. It's definitely gel, but slightly thick, slightly opaque, and will not run or drip. A little goes a long way, one dip of the tip of my finger will do my whole face... so it lasts a long time. Very cooling and refreshing, it feels like your skin just took a drink of water. Light fresh scent. Does not irritate your eyes, or taste bad.
The packaging is a glass container with a screw on top, I find it convenient but some may have a problem with the fact that you have to dip out the product. Since I apply it right after I clean my face and hands it doesn't bother me. Retails for around $10-$12, but is often on sale or has coupons available.

Love it soo much!!! I have super oily and acne-prone skin. Even though i have oily skin idk why but my foundations have been looking very cakey and flakey lately so i decided to switch out my moisturizer. I got this because its in a gel form and oil free. Makeup just glides perfectly on top of it and it absorbs into the skin right away without looking oily. It works really well for me but i dont think it will be good for someone with very dry and sensitive skin since there's fragrance and alcohol in it and its not too moisturizing. Its perfect for oily skin.

My HG moisturizer!!! I absolutely love this product. I specifically like that it's a gel-cream, so I don't get that heavy, creamy feeling that I get from other moisturizers. It absorbs quickly, and it doesn't just lay on top of your skin. It's definitely hydrating, and the smell is nice. You don't even need to use that much. One tiny jar lasts me for a few months!
I would love for it to have some SPF, but that isn't a deal breaker for me.
I have tried so many different skincare products, but this moisturizer is the only thing that I have not changed in my skincare routine. I love it!<3

Tried a sample that came in a magazine and I thought that it worked well. Bought that full size and used it for almost a week. My skin became drier and itchy. It was horrible for me. Got rid of it and went back to my lovely Oil of Olay. My skin is so much better now.

I had high hopes for this since I loved the lotion and I generally love the Garnier lotions. However, this product is awful. Because of the alcohol, my skin gets red and irritated. After a few days of use, my skin actually starts to feel dry. I wish it didn't have alcohol in it because otherwise it would've been great for me: it feels refreshing and cool, and it is extremely lightweight as well- perfect for oily skin in the summer. If you have sensitive skin, please save your money.

I really like this product. In spite of the alcohol content, I find this is moisturizing for my dry/combo skin. In the summer, I tend to be less dry and more combo, so this gel works very well. I tend to use this one at night and I wake up with soft skin. The gel like consistency is very cooling and the fragrance does not bother my skin that can be sensitive to smells. I got this at CVS with extra bucks so my cost was minimal. I'm not sure this is HG status for me, but for now it is working out well.

Would i repurchase? already did. almost done with my 3rd jar. one jar lasts me about 2 + months? i usually use about a little over a dime size amount everyday. i love how good it feels on my skin and how fast it absorbs. feels cool but not like a minty feeling. it smells good too. but some times i feel like it isnt enough to moisturize my skin. i like it anyways because it does not make my face oily since i have combo skin (oily t-zone). though just to be warned: it contains alcohol which can be drying to the skin. i dont think this would be good for people wiith dry skin. but if you have combo or oily and want a non-oily moisturizer, give this a try.

I have been using this product pretty consistently for 3-4 years. I have no complaints. I am satisfied; it does the job.
I'm not sure I'd rhapsodize it's omg amazing HG life-changing etc., but compared to all the other moisturizers I've tried, this is certainly the best overall, and among the least expensive---jar lasts me ~4 months(?)---so I have little incentive to switch up my routine.
For me, the best thing is that it feels very light and absorbs quickly (but is also sufficiently moisturizing, obviously; I use it night and day), even when I slather it on. Also, I am rather fond of the smell, and the cooling sensation, though I hear that's supposed to be bad for your skin.....(for the record, I do not have dry skin; I'd venture to guess that this product might not be moisturizing enough for super dry skin?)
Packaging could definitely be improved.

LOVE! Yeah, I know it is a jar and that isn't ideal if you're into being all hygienic. But I am willing to look past that because this is amazingness for so cheap! I have oily but dehydrated skin due to acne medication. So I will have dry skin with oil sitting on top of it. I wanted something to moisturize but not make me more oily. I found out that Clinique Moisture Surge was amazing for my skin type but I went through that stuff fast and it was SOO expensive. So then I heard that the Garnier Moisture Rescue in the jar was exactly like the Clinique version so I gave it a try. Omg it is almost the exact same stuff but where I get it the price is around 5 dollar compared to the 48 dollars for the clinique one. It is so refreshing to put on and it sinks in almost immediately. It isn't fragrance free but the smell is very faint and fresh smelling. I can't see the smell bothering many people. Obviously this lotion won't do much for those with dry skin but if you have combo or oily skin definitely try this out!

September 11 [10:00 EDT] — If Sheryl Crow is missing her friends from the Tuesday Night Music Club, she can take solace in her new friends, Salt-n-Pepa.
Crow sings backup vocals on the rappers' track "Imagine," which will be on their long delayed new album "Are You Ready," their first since 1993's "Very Necessary."
Crow says she first hooked up with Salt-n-Pepa back in 1994, when she had a hit with "All I Wanna Do" and the rappers' were hot with "Shoop" and "Whatta Man."
"We would wind up on the same TV shows a lot, and we wound up being very close friends," Crow told MTV News. "They would do dance routines to 'All I Wanna Do,' and we were always partying to their music, and then they called me and asked me to play on their record. I am so anxious for it to come out, because the stuff I heard them doing is so amazing, and they produced it themselves. It's kind of a return to old R&B with a really fresh twist on it."
Salt-n-Pepa finally finished that
new album two months ago, and it should be out in late October. That date is not confirmed due to the complex paperwork involved with Salt-n-Pepa's deal with their new label, Red Ant Records.
A video for the album's first single, the title track, will premiere on MTV next Thursday.

Race & Spider-Man: Sony Confirms a Glass Ceiling for Miles Morales

Re: Race & Spider-Man: Sony Confirms a Glass Ceiling for Miles Morales
I can *almost* see the logic in this in a, "the unfamiliar public only knows Peter Parker as Spider-man" sort of way. But I don't see why that need completely rule Miles Morales out. They could introduce him as a secondary character/side-kick in a movie, have Peter die or retire in the same movie (or next one) and let Miles then carry the torch.
Introduce him slowly enough and over the course of maybe a couple of movies and you could get the audience familiar with the character.
Just because it's futuristic doesn't mean it's practical.

Perfect Location, perfect location, perfect location. Comfy!!! Blalblablablablablablablablablablablabla........Enough for what u need!! 200 characters my gosh, blablablablablablabla, almost there, blablabla..puffffffff
Great staff, great location. Desk staff friendly, valets wonderful, cleaning staff respectful and competent. Beautiful view of the mountain and town from our balcony. Nice to take a soak in the hot tub and watch the foot traffic on Main St.
While this is a decent overall hotel in terms of aesthetics, room comfort and friendliness of staff - it is a one star service experience during Sundance. The rates are more than doubled but most of the hotel amenities are not available or dramatically limited to hotel guests. We were restricted from the bar, hotel, rooftop restaurant just to name a few limitations. As a guest, this was shocking. Most of the restaurant staff claimed to be "first day on the job" so it was clear that Sky Lodge had to import talent to handle the peak period. They are too occupied with renting out their space to the film industry to care about their guests. Do not stay here if you hope to be treated in accordance with the sky high room rate.
We stayed in a 2 bedroom, 2 bath sky suite for 3 nights prior to The Sundance Film Festival. The staff, we were told, was relatively new as the property has undergone recent changes in management. You would not have known it--everyone went above and beyond; very keyed into customer service! Whoever is training them is doing a great job! Our suite was very clean and the bedrooms and bathrooms were huge. The sitting area was a little cozy but there was so much to do and see we were not there much. Our balcony had a 2 person hot tub that was delightful! Some of the amenities were not available because of preparations for the Sundance Film Festival and were beyond the control of the management. Still, Todd--the manager, went above and beyond to ensure our stay was wonderful! Would definitely recommend.
I love the Sky Lodge and am only writing certain negatives so that it improves. Most importantly, the rooms are utterly fabulous and the staff is superb. In particular, the shuttle drivers and valets could not be better. We skied at all three resorts and as soon as we called, a driver was on his way to bring us back. The restaurant has a great breakfast, although we usually cooked in our room. The kitchen in the 3BR's is excellent. Location is the best in Park City. My only gripe is room cleaning scheduling. If you ski all day and are out of the room from 8.30 to almost 5, you expect to come back to a clean room. Of course, you want to nap, shower, hot tub hang out by the fire place. I had two rooms and only once out of four times was a room clean when we came back. When I asked about it, the manager said he agreed with me but the hotel was full and they did not have enough staff. This should be an easy fix.
We returned today from 5 nights at the Sky Lodge. We had a three bedroom suite which was clean, nice and comfortable. The location can't be beat. Short walk to ski lift and right in the middle of restaurants and shops. We opted to not rent a car and did not need one. They will take you where you want to go and will pick you up on return. The front desk was great for us. They handled our ski return, airline boarding passes and anything else we asked for. We only had room service once but it was prompt and good. The maid crew was good. For some reason did not come New Years Eve day but we were leaving the next morning so did not call on it. The Tavern bar downstairs was good. The Sky Bar is no longer open. We did not try their restaurant Table One and it never seemed busy. I find this odd because all restaurants on main we're packed. We simply wanted to get out for meals. We first came here in the summer and were pleased then also. In other reviews people praised manager Michael, he was there in the summer and was great as advertised. He must have moved on but again we dealt withe front desk and manager and they were all great.
We stayed at the Sky Lodge last year and had a wonderful experience - it's a convenient location and a beautiful property - which prompted our return. What a debacle! The girl at the front desk, was uninformed and unhelpful! (multiple times) We had made spa reservations in October for an early December visit - when we went to the spa upon our arrival, (because the girl at the front desk wouldn't make a phone call) we had to find a worker, who was able to see the reservations from October, who apologized and said she would have someone get back to us, NO ONE ever did.The girl at the front desk reluctantly took our room service breakfast order (after suggesting that we phone at 6:30am) which was jacked up. How do you mess up oatmeal?On the upside, when I phoned room service, they immediately corrected the problem.The valet was wonderful and on top of things...(apparently, the only one who was)We stayed last year during major construction renovation, and had a better experience.At the price you're paying, customer service should be a top priority!

After enduring years of healthy eating (brown-bag lunches with an oversized, barely washed carrot from my father's vegetable garden peeking out of the top), I spent about a decade of rebellion indulging in a plethora of processed foods. But the (organic) apple doesn't fall far from the tree: Despite the occasional foray into junk food, I always feel better when following these healthy eating habits. [Read more…]
Workers Sue Monsanto; Stock Tumbles
Timing is everything. On September 29th, the Environmental Protection Agency updated the Agricultural Worker Protection Standard with far more rigorous pesticide protection standards. The following day, lawsuits against pesticide manufacturer Monsanto were filed in California and New York by workers who claim their cancers were caused by exposure to pesticides. Coincidink? I don't think so. [Read more…]
Mommy Greenest Guide to Eco Friendly Fashion
You've read about fast fashion, in which underpaid workers in third-world countries provide western consumers with cheap and disposable goods. You're all clear on cotton, which uses 17% of the world's insecticides and is 94% Genetically Modified. And that the textile industry is the world's second largest water polluter, after agriculture. But with that in mind, sometimes you just have to shop, right? Which is why it makes sense now to figure out what matters to you when it comes to the clothes and accessories that you buy–especially if you're concerned about your impact on the Earth. (For more on that, check out the Mommy Greenest Guide to Going Green.) With this in mind, here's my guide to eco friendly fashion! [Read more…]
Mommy Greenest Approved: Pristine Beauty Breast Cancer Kiss Off
Here's something that pisses me off: Companies manufacturing with toxic chemicals linked to breast cancer that stick pink ribbons on their products in the name of breast cancer prevention. Each year, I hop on my soapbox to rail against this practice of pinkwashing—most egregiously by the Susan G. Komen Foundation, which you can read about here. During the month of October, I regularly share three easy tactics to avoid pinkwashing in food and beauty products as well as the 17 easy-to-avoid chemicals in everyday products that Harvard University identified as causing breast cancer. But there's one company that I don't have to worry about: Founded by a breast cancer survivor who realized early on the connection between toxic chemicals and the disease, Pristine Beauty's personal care products are carcinogen-free and donate to the fight against breast cancer on an ongoing basis. Plus, they're really, truly awesome. [Read more…]
Leonardo diCaprio Joins $2.6 T Tug from Big Oil
The writing is on the wall for fossil fuel companies. A new report shows that investors divested $2.6 trillion in assets in recent years. That's "436 institutions and 2,040 individuals across 43 countries," according to the report. Who's jumping ship? [Read more…]
Could Energy Efficient Homes Cause Asthma?
I've long been a fan of open windows. Every morning–rain or shine–I walk around the house sliding open our windows to let the fresh air circulate inside. And although this may seem counterintuitive to those like me who live in car-clogged cities, a new report supports the practice. Because keeping the air inside might just cause asthma. [Read more…]
Will DARK Act Pass Next Week? #StopTheDARKAct
A little birdie just told me–okay it was the Organic Consumers Association–that the DARK Act Senate Agriculture Committee hearing is set for next week. And guess what?

Nothing "Hybrid" About Russia's War in Ukraine
Russia's actions in Crimea and eastern Ukraine over the past year gave rise in the West to a widespread theory about some kind of "hybrid war," an innovative form of military intervention that Moscow created specifically for this crisis. However, upon closer inspection, the term hybrid war is more a propaganda tool than hard fact and any attempt to fully define it strips the idea of any novelty.

What has been done since 2008 can probably be considered the most ambitious, consistent and effective military reform in Russia.

Mistral Wasn't Irreplaceable
The recent sinking of the Mistral deal, in which France was to have supplied Russia with high-tech assault craft for 1.2 billion euros ($1.66 billion), was heralded as a political victory for the West. But despite the political setback, it may not be a military defeat. Russia may be able to procure a replacement from a more friendly nation — perhaps even turning to staunch U.S. ally South Korea.

Topic: Invasive Plants, Non-Natives, Plant Identification
Title: Identity of the mass fields of yellow flowers in North Texas
Answered by: Nan Hampton
QUESTION:Are the mass fields of yellow flowers we are seeing in north Texas now likely to be Indian Mustard (brassica juncea) or Charlock (brassica kaber or sinapis arvensis)? We are teaching a wildflower idenification class at a community college and are ourselves confused about this identification. Thanks for the help.
The mass fields of yellow flowers we are seeing around Austin are the invasive non-native Rapistrum rugosum (Bastard cabbage). See the USDA distribution map (if you click on the map, it will give you an enlarged map with county names).
Brassica juncea (Indian or brown mustard) (see the USDA distribution map) and Sinapis arvensis [syn. Brassica kaber](charlock mustard) (see the USDA distribution map) are certainly possibilities, however, around your area near Fort Worth.
Here are photos for Brassica juncea from Stephen F. Austin University, photos of Sinapis arvensis in FlowersInIsrael.com and photos of Rapistrum rugosum from Biological Sciences, University of Texas.
Here are the descriptions for the three species in Flora of North America as seen on eFloras.org:
You can also find descriptions of the three species in "Shinners and Mahler's Illuststrated Flora of North Central Texas" on pp. 459, 476 and 479.
If the photos and descriptions don't help you determine which of these you are seeing, you might consider contacting someone knowledgeable about the flora of your area—for instance, a member of the North Central Chapter of the Native Plant Society of Texas (NPSOT)—to see if they know the identity of these flowers.

Negative-split strategies: Part two
I read your article on negative-split strategies and although I think you provided useful information, I don't think you went quite far enough. You mentioned reasons not to exceed a particular workload, but what you didn't mention is the connection between this and the negative-split. Do you have any additional information?

A Brookfield man could face a felony charge after brandishing a knife and threatening to slit the throat of a motorist who suspected he was driving drunk and called the police, according to a city of Brookfield police report.
Also in the report:
The 21-year-old man pulled over on 162nd Street, near Capitol Drive, and approached another car with a knife.
The 21-year-old believed the driver of that car had cut him off and told him he was going to slit somebody's throat.
He then ran off and was arrested a short time later on a tentative charge of endangering safety by use of a dangerous weapon.

The present invention relates generally to miniature instrumentation for chemical/biochemical analysis and chemical/biological sensing and, more specifically, to microfluidic devices, their production and use. It is particularly concerned with methods for creating microchannels, and to controlled manipulations of fluids and capillaries in microchannels. These microchannels and tools for their creating and manipulation can be used in a variety of applications, including capillary electrophoresis, liquid chromatography, and flow injection analysis.
Microfluidic systems have become increasingly popular tools in electronics, biotechnology, and the pharmaceutical and related industries where they provide numerous advantages, including significantly smaller reagent requirements, high speed of analysis and the possibility for automation [U.S. Pat. No. 6,251,343 and U.S. Pat. No. 6,379,974]. Typical examples of such microfluidic devices are a miniature gas chromatograph fabricated on a silicon wafer [Doherty et al., LC-GC (1994), 12, 846-850], a planar microcapillary electrophoresis chip [Manz et al., Trends in Anal. Chem. (1990), 10, 144-149 and Manz et al., Adv. in Chromatog. (1993), 33, 1-66; U.S. Pat. No. 4,908,112 and U.S. Pat. No. 6,309,602), a chip for separation and processing of nucleic acids [U.S. Pat. No. 6,344,326] and microchips for the performance of amplification reactions (U.S. Pat. No 5,498,392], chemical and biological analysis [U.S. Pat. No. 4,908,112 and U.S. Pat. No. 6,342,142] and binding assay [U.S. Pat. No. 5,637,469]. In microfluidic devices the transport and direction of materials, e.g., fluids, analytes and reagents within the microfabricated device, has generally been carried out by: (a) creating a pressure gradient; (b) the use of electric fields; (c) the use of acoustic energy. In order to fabricate microfluidic devices, the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries have recently applied some of the same technologies that have proved effective in the electronics industry, such as photolithography, wet chemical etching, laser ablation, injection molding etc. As microfluidic systems become more complex, the ability to design and use them, including user handling and system interfacing of such devices, becomes more and more difficult. It would therefore be advantageous to provide an improved method for the design of flexible and reconfigurable microfluidic devices capable of being readily adapted to specific separation or analytical tasks and free from the problems associated with the current methods of production of such small-scale devices.
The present invention is generally directed to development of microfluidic systems and methods for their use. As used herein, the term "microscale" or "microfabricated" generally refers to features of a device which have at least one structural element with dimension (e.g., depth, width, length, diameter, etc) in the range of from about 0.01 μm to about 1000 μm.
The present invention enables one to provide microfluidic devices that combine the advantages of microfluidics with improved material handling characteristics and reduced costs for manufacturing.
The present invention provides microfluidic device that incorporates a body structure comprising a microchannel network disposed therein. The body structure may have a plurality of ports disposed in it, where each port is in fluid communication with one or more channels in the channel network. It may also contain either a plurality of electrodes connected to or integrated with one or more channels or another mechanism for directing thermal energy according to a set pattern. The microchannel network is created and maintained in the body structure by directing patterned energy flow, which results in partial melting of substrate material along the applied pattern.
The device may comprise a casing containing fusible substrate. The casing may be tubular or box-like, having top, bottom and side parts. The material of the casing is generally selected for robustness under the conditions to which the microfluidic device may be exposed, e.g. exposure to one or more of organic solvents, buffers with different pHs, high and low temperature, irradiation and application of electric fields. Accordingly, the material may include materials such as glass, quartz, silicon or polysilicon, silicon nitride, gallium arsenide, metals, their alloys, polymers, such as acrylates, methacrylates and oligourethanes, with non-exclusive examples of e.g. polymethylmethacrylate, polycarbonate, polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinylchloride, polytetrafluoroethylene, polydimethylsiloxane, polysulfone, organometallic polymers, and composite materials consisting off, e.g. metals and silicon, polymers and glass.
The interior part of microfluidic devices comprises a substrate material which can be easily and reversibly changed from solid to liquid state by directing energy flow. Accordingly, in some preferred aspects, the substrate material may comprise water (ice), frozen organic solvents or gases, metals (e.g. gallium), organic or inorganic compounds, oligomers or polymers.
The microfluidic device prepared in accordance with the methods described herein, may contain a plurality of ports disposed in it, where each port is in fluid communication with one or more channels in the channel network and may also contain a plurality of electrodes connected/integrated with one or more channels. In some possible applications neither the ports for fluid communications nor the electrodes will be necessary (which means that the plurality in these cases will be "zero"). The ports and electrodes will have an external interface through the plurality of apertures/holes or connectors disposed through, e.g., top, bottom or side parts of the microfluidic device. In some applications the device will contain holes, which function as reservoirs for reagents or wastes. In some applications the microfluidic devices will include an optical detection window(s) or detector(s), e.g. pH sensor, grating couple or surface plasmon resonance device, mass spectrometer, integrated into or linked with top, bottom or side parts of the device. The ports for liquid communication may also be used as electrodes for current regulation.
If the core of the device is made of water then channel formation, use and re-forming is straightforward since water is a good conductor (especially if it contains an electrolyte such as HCl or salt). Equally for some chemical applications, melting of non-conductive material can be useful since the resulting capillary or capillaries in this case will constitute areas of facilitated diffusion. If necessary, channels can be refilled and re-formed again using other material stored in a reservoir in the body of the microfluidic device. Channels also can be refilled with the molten material of the same nature as core of the device.
In some designs the microfluidic device will contain a source of energy (e.g. light, heat, focused, particle (e.g. ion) beams and electron beams, electromagnetic or microwave radiation) which delivers reversible transformation of the substrate material in the interior part of the device from a solid to a liquid state.
In some embodiments, the microfluidic device also contains a heating/cooling device, heat exchanger or thermostat which maintains and controls the temperature in the microfluidic device, in particular in its interior part.
The source of energy, heating and/or cooling of the device may be integral parts of the microfluidic device, or external modules.
The casing may have integrated features such as electric circuits or liquid crystals.
The formation and maintenance of the integrated microchannel network in the interior part of the microfluidic device may be achieved by patterned direction of energy, e.g. heat or light into the interior part of microfluidic device. This application of energy results in partial melting of the substrate material of the interior part of the device according to a preset pattern in a way that ensures that the liquid channels are formed between the top and the bottom parts of the device. In different formats of the microfluidic device the energy will be applied to the interior part in different ways, including using light (e.g. a laser beam), heat (using e.g. IR laser), focused ionic, particle, X-ray and electron beams. In some embodiments the patterning will be achieved by focusing energy beams in pre-determined parts of the interior part through a transparent part of the casing or by using masks, which restrict the direction of energy to the predetermined areas of the interior part only. The advantages of the approach, described in this invention lies in the flexibility of the system. The pattern (and the patterned system of created microchannels) can be changed by re-focusing and re-directing the applied energy. The microchannel network will exist only when the energy is applied to corresponding areas. When the application of energy stops—the liquid in the channel will be frozen and channel will disappear. A plurality of integrated microchannels, including transverse channels, cross intersections, "T" intersections, etc., in the same microfluidic device can be created for a variety of specific applications. The microchannel network can also be modified in real time during the analytical or separation method to facilitate or promote individual stages of the experiment or analysis. The connection between the channels, reservoirs, ports for fluid communications and electrodes can be easily established or terminated by focusing energy at appropriate connection points.
In some embodiments, parts of the device (e.g. of the mask or top or bottom casing part) will contain liquid crystals capable of changing their properties according to the applied current. In this case the microchannel patterning will be achieved by modulating the transparency of the liquid crystals and correspondingly by regulating local heating produced by energy passed through the liquid crystal. In some embodiments the device will contain microcircuits capable of producing heat upon applying current. In this case the microchannels will be patterned according to structure of microcircuits and according to the pattern of applied current.
The pattern can be created, changed and controlled by a computer using appropriate software. The microfluidic device may be designed as a replaceable chip or stationary unit linked with samplers, liquid reservoirs etc.
The principle of creation and regulation of the channel network can also be used by the skilled artisan with nanoscale systems without deviation from the scope of the present invention.
Another aspect of the present invention involves the manipulation of material to be transported (liquidified part of substrate material, solution, analytes, sample etc.) inside of the microchannel network, formed according to the pattern of applied energy. A controlled current applied to multiple electrodes may be used to effect material transport. The connection between electrodes and channels will be established by directing energy to appropriate connection points. Alternatively or additionally the transport in microchannels may be regulated by applying a pressure gradient using external or integrated pumps, and/or using acoustic energy or temperature gradients. The transport of material may be regulated by freezing or melting part of the solution inside the microchannels to block or open a transport pathway.
The transport flow inside the microchannels may be modulated by modifying the properties of the microchannel surface. For example, the interior part of the microfluidic device may contain material which when exposed to solution will provide additional functions such as charge, hydrophobicity, affinity, recognition, sensing and catalytic elements. The introduction of affinity or recognition functions may be achieved by the introduction into the composition of the interior part and/or by the immobilisation onto the top, bottom or side part of the microfluidic device of a protein, biological receptor, nucleic acid, chromosome, cell, virus, microorganism, tissue sample, carbohydrate, oligosaccharide, polysaccharide, nucleoprotein, mucoprotein, lipoprotein, synthetic protein, glycoprotein, glucosaminoglycan, steroid, immunosuppressant, hormone, heparin, antibiotic, vitamin or drug. Upon melting, part of the introduced material will be exposed to the solution, thus providing an interacting point for selective binding, recognition or modulation of the solution properties. Alternatively or additionally, the introduction of affinity or recognition functions can be achieved by filling the microchannel or reservoir with solution, suspension or emulsion of a corresponding molecule, oligomer, polymer, tissue or cell and by freezing part of it in order to achieve an entrapment of these species into the walls of the microchannels or reservoirs.
The microfluidic devices may be used in a variety of applications, including, e.g., high throughput screening assays in drug discovery, immunoassays, diagnostics, genetic analysis, and the like. Another type of use is as a reagent mixing apparatus, lab-on-a-chip for performing chemical and/or biological experiments or as research platform for studying and optimising microfluidic processes.
The illustrated device has an end face through which a plurality of electrodes (22) and ports (24) for fluid communication extend. Energy is being applied, e.g. by scanning an IR laser, to melt a minor proportion of the fusible material 18 and maintain its molten state to create the illustrated pattern of microchannels (70) communicating with the electrodes (22) and ports (24).
Some practical experiments will now be described, illustrating embodiments of the invention and techniques that may be used in the invention.
An ice crystal (2×2×2 cm) was illuminated with a 40 W CO2 laser for 5 minutes. At the end of illumination it was found that a cylindrical hole of diameter 3 mm had been drilled through the crystal.
A 60 cm glass capillary (75 μm internal diameter) was filled with 10 mM HCl and frozen at −20° C. The capillary was mounted in a Waters 4000 E capillary electrophoresis instrument supplied with a thermostat. The applied potential was 10000 V and the temperature was maintained at −20° C. After I hour an internal part of the ice in capillary had been melted due to the applied potential, and the current passing through the system increased to 0.2 μA, after which it stabilised. A solution containing 1 mg/ml of each of bradykinin, L-enkefalin and M-enkefalin was injected into the capillary by hydrostatic pressure. The electropherogram which shows the achieved separation on ice-filled capillary is presented in
A 60 cm glass capillary (75 μm internal diameter) was filled with 10 mM HCl and frozen at −20° C. The capillary was mounted in Waters 4000 E capillary electrophoresis instrument supplied with thermostat. The applied potential was 10000 V and the temperature was maintained at −5° C. The current passing through the system stabilised at 1.5 μA which is an indication that ice has not been formed in the capillary. A mixture of bradykinin, L-enkefalin and M-enkefalin was injected into the capillary as in Example 2a. No separation was observed in this case due to absence of ice in capillary.
Anti-HRP and HIGg (human immunoglobulin) were dissolved in water in concentrations 4 mg/ml, 2 mg/ml, 1 mg/ml, 0.2 mg/ml, 0.1 mg/ml, and 0.05 mg/ml. 50 μl portions of anti-HRP and HIGg solutions were transferred into microtitre plates in three replicates. The microtitre plates with samples have been frozen for 30 min at −18° C. 50 μl of 10 μg/ml HRP was added to wells contained frozen anti-HRP and HIGg solutions with subsequent incubation for 5 min. Washing conditions: 3 times with 150 μl of water contained 0.05% Tween 20. All solutions were kept at 4° C. The concentration of adsorbed HRP was measured with 100 μl of ABTS solution (6 mg of ABTS and 3 μl of 30% H2O2 per 10 ml of 100 mM Na-citrate buffer, pH 6.0). The optical absorbance was measured at 450 nm. The result shows preferential binding of antigen (HRP) to corresponding anti-HRP antibodies immobilised by freezing in ice. This is illustrated by
An ice crystal (10×10×1 cm) was covered with a mask made of aluminium foil with a pattern, and subjected to illumination with visible light (100 Wt) for 10 minutes. A track with dimension 1×20 mm was formed in the ice. It was filled with dye (gallocyanine) for a contrast.

Summer months
- 04.09.2014- by Kajsa Rosen
Soon, summer is coming to an end. I've had a fantastic summer so far. Basically, it has all been about climbing. Outdoor climbing, climbing trips, indoor training, climbing comps, climbing books, climbing friends and some climbing chat.
I've learnt a lot during these few summer months. I've found one of my biggest weaknesses. It isn't anything about strength, technique, or even dynos (which I need to practice....). It my psyche. When I realized this, all the pieces fell into it's places: why I couldn't perform at my best at the most important competitions, why I fell of on the same route and same sequence time after time although I had done it before. Why I once did perform my best on a competition; because I didn't feel any pressure.
I'm very happy to find this out. I mean, now I can make it even better! I've started to read a book about mental training and mental training practice has entered my training schedule. Now I'm extrRead More...

Bike Tours of the Parisian Countryside
You're not in Paris anymore, Toto (but you're not far, either!)
The weather in Paris is finally getting nice enough to enjoy the sunshine and start craving a bit of nature and tranquility. And while there are actually many green spaces throughout the city, some hidden and almost secluded, there's nothing like a bike ride through the countryside just outside Paris to escape the masses and reconnect with nature.
So what is the best way to experience the Parisian countryside without any hassle? Contact Bruce from French Mystique Bike Tours, and he will take care of everything. Originally from Boston, Bruce moved to France in 2008 and spent his free time exploring the little towns, villages and countryside just outside Paris with nothing but a Michelin map and his bike. A few years ago he started French Mystique Bike tours to share his favorite routes with visitors (and Parisians) looking to truely get off the beaten path.

The Beave of Mawooshen
The planters heare aboutes, if they will have any beaver, must go 40 or 50
myles into the country, with their packes on their backes.
—an English settler on the coast of Maine, June 1634
Seventy miles from the Atlantic, in the central lowlands of Maine, if you head west along Route 2 and cross the Sandy River you will see a line of mountains far away upon your right. Built of slate, they rise to more than three thousand feet. They reach their finest color on a winter's day, when the air is sharp and cold and the sunlight turns their eastern slopes from gray to blue. Above the modern town of Farmington, they form the outlying ramparts of a dark massif.
Here the influence of the ocean ends, and the American interior begins. Behind the blue ridge, the high ground extends for sixty miles, as far as the frontier with Canada. Between hills black and shaggy with spruce but dusted white with snow, the road ascends an esker, a ribbon of gravel, dropped into place by a glacier fourteen thousand years ago.
The esker makes a platform for Highway 27. Along the road, you climb until you reach a narrow pass and a chain of lakes. Beyond them lies a gloomy wetland, called Hathan Bog, where in the dusk moose wander from the swamp across the asphalt. Then, a little farther on, the highway arrives at a plateau, and a liquor store, and a customs post, at a hidden place named Coburn Gore, where day and night the Frenchmen thump back over the border in their logging trucks. Like the valleys of West Virginia, the pass supplies an aperture, an entry into the land beyond the mountains, at the northern end of the Appalachian barrier.
At places such as this, the west begins: but where did America start for new settlers arriving from England in the 1620s or the 1630s? Maybe they saw it first from ten miles out on the ocean, with a glimpse of sandy cliffs along the eastern rim of Cape Cod, or at forty miles, if their first sighting was Cadillac Mountain, above Bar Harbor, visible to any ship bound in from Newfoundland. Or did the New World really begin later? Did its strangeness dawn upon them when they saw ice jamming a river mouth as late as April, or a belt of white wampum beads, or a field of maize, or a man in deerskin breeches, with a shaved head and a torso painted purple? The point at which the alien was glimpsed for what it was, alarming, uncanny, or sublime, might occur at any of these moments, or at none of them. Half of the early migrants simply faded and died.
There was another point when America began. The moment took place when new settlers crossed a different kind of boundary, when for the first time they could be certain that their colony was going to endure. So far as the Mayflower Pilgrims were concerned, this moment occurred in the territory in Maine that lay below Coburn Gore, in the year 1628. Eight years earlier, they had landed at Provincetown, Massachusetts, at the extremity of Cape Cod. Soon afterward they founded their settlement across the bay at New Plymouth. That was another beginning, but it was tenuous and frail. It took far longer for the Plymouth enterprise to make itself permanent, and to open the way for the foundation of Boston to the north, by colonists in far larger numbers.
Fraught with risk, the Mayflower project endured a long period of trial, experiment, and error. Deeply in debt
At the end of 1618, a blazing green star soared across the night sky over the northern hemisphere. From the Philippines to the Arctic, the comet became a sensation and a symbol, a warning of doom or a promise ofsalvation. Two years later, as the Pilgrims prepared to sail across the Atlantic on board the "Mayflower," the atmosphere remained charged with fear and expectation. Men and women readied themselves forwar, pestilence, or divine retribution. Against this background, and amid deep economic depression, the Pilgrims conceived their enterprise of exile.
Within a decade, despite crisis and catastrophe, theybuilt a thriving settlement at New Plymouth, based on beaver fur, corn, and cattle. In doing so, they laid the foundations for Massachusetts, New England, and a new nation. Using a wealth of new evidence from landscape, archaeology, and hundreds of overlooked or neglected documents, Nick Bunker gives a vivid and strikingly original account of the "Mayflower" project and the first decade of the Plymouth Colony. Frommercantile London and the rural England of Queen Elizabeth I and King James I to the mountains and rivers of Maine, he weaves a rich narrative that combines religion, politics, money, science, and thesea.
The Pilgrims were entrepreneurs as well as evangelicals, political radicals as well as Christian idealists. "Making Haste from Babylon" tells their story in unrivaled depth, fromtheir roots in religious conflict and village strife at home to their final creation of a permanent foothold in America.
"From the Hardcover edition."
Backed by privateering aristocrats, London merchants, and xenophobic politicians, they were sectarian religious radicals who lived double and treble lives: entrepreneurs as well as evangelicals, rebels as well as Christian idealists. Far from the storybook figures of American mythology, the Pilgrims were complex men and women, and Making Haste from Babylon tells their story in unrivaled depth.
Within a decade of landing, and despite crisis and catastrophe, the Pilgrims built a thriving settlement at New Plymouth, based on trade in beaver fur, corn, and cattle, and in doing so they laid the foundations for Massachusetts, New England, and a new nation. Using a wealth of previously untapped or neglected evidence--from archives in England, Ireland, and the United States--British author Nick Bunker gives a vivid, strikingly original account of the Mayflower project. From the rural kingdom of James I to industrial Holland and the beaver ponds of Maine, he weaves a rich narrative combining religion, politics, money, science, and the sea.
A meticulously researched, revelatory book that restores the potency of the Mayflower story by rediscovering the full international context of its time.

I was very interested in a Corvette I saw on the website. I sent an email as indicated, asking for more information about the car. The website said I should receive a phone call within 60 minutes! No call came - for a whole week.
I sent another email - I REALLY wanted this car!
Again, no return call... EVER! Three weeks later, I was asked to complete an online survey about my experience with Carmax. I told them it was AWFUL! I thought I might get a phone call now apologizing for their lousy service and an offer to make it up to me - but NooOOO!
Now I cringe when I hear commercials about them!
If only people knew!!!
