Global transcription profiling reveals carbon and nitrogen interaction, sugar status and stress response, and the differential regulation of glucose induction versus glucose repression in model plant Arabidopsis thaliana
(December 31, 1969 7:00 PM - 7:00 PM)
Complex and interconnected signaling networks allow cells to integrate information that regulates growth, differentiation, cell division or programmed cell death. Plants can sense levels of nutrients such as carbon and nitrogen and accordingly adjust gene expression, which in turn affects metabolic and cellular activities. Numerous physiological studies have demonstrated that the availability and ratio of carbon and nitrogen are key determinants for plant growth and development. While this nutrient response is critical, our understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying sugar or nitrogen signal transduction in plants is obscure. To begin unraveling complex sugar signaling networks in plants, DNA microarray analysis was used to determine the effects of glucose and nitrate on gene expression on a global scale in model plant Arabidopsis. Under the conditions used, glucose is a much more potent signal in regulating transcription than inorganic nitrogen, and that other than genes associated with nitrate assimilation, glucose had a greater effect in regulating nitrogen metabolic genes than nitrogen itself. Glucose also regulated a broader range of genes, including genes associated with carbohydrate metabolism, transcriptional regulation, and metabolite transport. Cluster analysis revealed significant interaction between glucose and nitrogen in regulating gene expression, because a combination of glucose and nitrogen could modulate the expression of many genes responsive either to glucose or nitrogen individually. A large number of genes associated with stress response were induced by glucose-we postulate that glucose signaling regulates these genes either via crosstalk with stress hormone ABA or ethylene signaling or via independent signal transduction mechanisms. Using cycloheximide, an inhibitor of protein synthesis, we have found that glucose repression appears to be a primary response while glucose induction is largely a secondary response requiring de novo protein synthesis. We conclude that glucose and inorganic nitrogen have dual roles in plants, acting as both metabolites and effective signaling molecules. Our long-term goal is to reveal the transcriptional cascades underlying sugar regulated gene expression in plants.

The New Music Tuesday picks this week are a little more sprawling than usual. When else would you see pop culture darling Hannah Montana right next to the prolific weird-out drummer Zach Hill? Enjoy what we hope will be some of your favorite new music. Add them to your collection, share with a friend or put it in your queue for later listening—these albums, singles and EPs were picked with you in mind.
Houses is a couple who moved to Hawaii from Chicago after one of them got laid off. What do you do when moving to Hawaii simply because you can? You record an album with your significant other (of course!). All Night is soft, sweet, and a haunting statement of love tied loosely to the world.
Elton John drops his band for the first time since 1979 in favor of working with musician Leon Russell on The Union. The second album they've created together includes an all-star list of featured musicians: Brian Wilson, Neil Young and Bono make this album rich not only in history, but also in sound.
Zach Hill has his drumsticks in many musical pies. His past work with indie favorites like Hella and Wavves has proven that any music he creates on his own will be worth a listen. FACE TAT is spazzy, weird and lovable. Especially recommended for fans of early No Age.
Hannah Montana Forever is the soundtrack from the fourth and final season of the Miley Cyrus show, Hannah Montana. You'll also hear contributions from guests Sheryl Crow, Billy Ray Cyrus and Iyaz.
Singles + EPs
With a new album out on November 2nd, N.E.R.D. is busy preparing. Step 1: make a record. Step 2: release a single called Hypnotize U and make sure it was produced by Daft Punk. These guys don't mess around.
After Person Pitch, Panda Bear kept at it. He's still creating music, the result of which is a new album. In the meantime? You Can Count on Me.
LIGHTS has grown up since The Listening. Hear her expanded sound in My Boots, a single from her next, yet unnamed, sophomore album.
The Proud Evolution EP was created by pulling the original track from the Liars' Sisterworld, having it reworked by Thom Yorke, recording it live and supplementing the single with additional tracks.
Music with a past
Pastor Troy has been rapping for a long time—11 years, at least. The Best of Pastor Troy Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 attempt to capture his contributions to hardcore rap and the Atlanta music community.
Two notable Phish albums are now available on Rdio. Their first heavily-bootlegged mix tape, The White Tape, was also a demo. Finally given a proper release in 1986, it is long overdue for remastering. The other album is Coral Sky, a Phish performance captured at the West Palm Beach Coral Sky Amphitheater. It features guest spots such as Santana and The Allman Brothers Band.

Laid-off men fight perceptions arising from 'mancession'
In faded jeans and a gray Pitt basketball T-shirt, Patrick Connelly leans back on his leather sofa and listens for the crash.
He knows it's coming. With a 4-year-old in the house, it's a matter of when, not if.
It's all part of a new life that includes watching his wife head out to work each day while he stays home, tending to their three children, including 4-year-old Ryan, who on this day is busy scurrying through the family's West Homestead home.
It's been that way since he lost his job as a geography teacher in the Steel Valley School District and joined a national trend called the "mancession," in which a greater number of men than women have become unemployed — 5.4 million versus 2.1 million — during the recession that began in late 2007.
Across the nation, experts say the mancession exists in part because male-dominated fields such as construction and manufacturing have been hit hard — with 3.5 million of the 7.9 million jobs lost during the economic downturn in these two areas — and because men, as higher earners, are more susceptible to cost-cutting layoffs.
For every woman who lost a job during the recession, three men lost their jobs, said Heather Bushey, senior economist at the Center for American Progress.
Nationally, the percentage of stay-at-home dads slightly increased from 3.5 percent to 3.8 percent last year, while the percentage of mothers who are the sole support of their families rose from 5 percent to 7 percent, according to census figures. The average number of stay-at-home dads was 4.5 percent last year in Western Pennsylvania, where economists say the mancession was slower in coming.
Because Pittsburgh had already begun shifting from manufacturing to service industry jobs, the hit wasn't as hard at first, said George-Levi Gayle, Carnegie Mellon University associate professor of economics and strategy.
"Men lost a lot more. This is a trend we've been seeing for the last 20 years," Gayle said.
On a busy Wednesday afternoon, Connelly fights the effects of being up all night with 9-year-old Jack's upset stomach, but he still follows a Flintstones episode while keeping an eye on the family's dog and a rambunctious Ryan.
"I'm going to put this curve on, Daddy," Ryan said, holding up a piece of toy railroad track. The blond boy, still in his pajamas, knelt down to attach the piece, extending the track almost across two rooms.
"That looks great, buddy," Connelly said, with a smile.
Connelly can rattle off the schedules of his children the way most men recite football statistics. He's mastered peanut butter sandwiches, slicing them into four pieces the way Ryan likes. He tackles the family's laundry load in one day, joking that he's never done so much in his life.
With his unemployment benefits drying up, he's spent four hours a day, every day, applying for more than 200 jobs to supplement his wife Cathy's job as the annual fund manager at California University of Pennsylvania.
He loves spending time with his children but has underlying feelings of guilt.
"Males, their traditional role is the breadwinner," he said. "To not do that and not have any control over it. ... It's extremely depressing to feel worthless.
"It's embarrassing," he said. "I say, 'I'm furloughed.' I never say, 'I'm unemployed.' It has a stigma."
Younger men may cope better with being stay-at-home dads, probably because they grew up in homes where both parents worked, said Alan Teich, associate professor of psychology at the University of Pittsburgh.
"Older men are thinking they're not keeping their family together, but the younger ones, not so much. I'm not sure they have that view because they grew up with their moms working," he said.
Seth Caton lost his job as a recruitment coordinator for Dads Matter in Fayette County, a group that teaches parenting skills to men, when funding dried up.
Caton, 30, of Uniontown lives in a county with one of the highest unemployment rates in the state, 8.8 percent.
About 8 percent of Fayette County men report they stay at home while their wives work, as opposed to 4 percent nationally and 4.5 percent in Western Pennsylvania as a whole, according to census figures.
With sons aged 4 and 5, Caton relies on unemployment benefits and his wife Amy's job as a youth specialist at the Private Industry Council of Westmoreland/Fayette Inc.
"Men feel the manliest when they bring home a nice paycheck," Caton said. "I feel discouraged."
Trained in graphic and web design, he's working with a consultant to devise a five-year business plan for a new graphic arts business.
In the meantime, he relishes the time with his children he realizes so many other fathers miss.
"I like watching them grow and watching their personalities develop," he said. "It's an amazing opportunity to bond."
Fayette County Commissioner Vince Zapatosky said he can't pinpoint why the county has been hit so hard by the mancession but believes the burgeoning Marcellus shale industry may be a godsend.
Marcellus shale-related jobs doubled across the state last year and are expected to continue growing, according to the state Department of Labor and Industry.
"Fayette County is probably in the top 15 counties in terms of Marcellus activity," said Patrick Creighton of the Marcellus Shale Coalition
Going forward, like those who lost their jobs when the region's steel industry collapsed decades ago, many of the men who lost their jobs in the last few years will probably have to look to retraining for new careers to find jobs, Carnegie Mellon's Gayle said.
"I don't see the glory days when we had U.S. Steel and great pension and hourly wages returning right away — if ever," Gayle said. "The hot jobs presently are in health care and technology, so men would have to try to train and get jobs in those areas. Pittsburgh has a huge educational system, men should take advantage of that."

i just ordered the package that comes with the XM Direct receiver and the USB Adapter. this package is priced at $94.99.
BUT... the price of the USB adapter by itself is $49.99, and you can add the XM Direct as an optional accessory for $35.99. total price that way is $85.98.
is there something you miss out on by not getting the $94.99 package? or did i just pay an extra $9 for nothing?

Road Safety Tips For Women Drivers
While driving your vehicles on the road you not only need to be a good driver in terms of how to drive carefully, you also have to be alert and ready to tackle any unpleasant encounter with individuals who are out to do mischief. Earlier we had a post on driving tips that can help you make a better driver. Today we would like to share some safety tips for women drivers. With increasing number of crimes while driving, the tips below apply to all motorists on the road.
- Do not engage in any way with other drivers: Do not even look at someone who is trying to get your attention in an angry/challenging way while you are driving. Keep calm and drive on. If it gets uncomfortable – do not speed up – just take a turn. The worst thing you can do is get into a fight. Keep police helpline numbers handy so you can seek help, if required to.
- Pay attention while driving: Keep your sound system at a reasonable volume when driving in cities and neighborhoods, and don't space out or check your text messages at every stoplight. If your car breaks down, if possible, drive to a well-lit, busy area before calling for help and keep your doors locked while waiting. Ask to see the mechanic's proof of identity before opening a window or unlocking your car.
- Secure you vehicle: Drive with your doors and boot locked and your valuables out of sight. Only open your windows partially, particularly in the city. Be cautious of anyone trying to flag you down or signalling there's something wrong with your car – be cautious. Never give lifts to strangers.
- Parking: While parking on the street, choose a well–lit area and avoid dark secluded areas in car parks. When returning – have your keys out and be ready to open your vehicle, get in the car, close and lock the door and drive away. If you think something fishy is going on, find a security guard to walk you to your car.
- Don't assume: If an unmarked car with flashing lights is trying to pull you over but is not a police vehicle – keep driving. And if you feel that you have to pull over, do so only in a well-lit populated area.
Some bad incidents and experiences can be avoided if we exercise caution. Always have your mobile phone close by and the number of local law enforcement/police station on speed dial.
Safe Driving!

Where can I buy fresh water food grade diatomaceous earth in Houston TX Area? I want to use it as a wormer for my horses and dogs. Thanks.
Jean from Bellville, TX
By Jean Ward
These answers have been rated the best for this question.
I buy food grade diatomacious earth at the feed store. Delilah500 is right. Absolutely do not use the DE meant for swimming pool filters for your animals.
Fresh water food grade diatomaceous earth is unlike other forms of DE because it is safe to pets and people. This is for information.. not a cheap plug. You can also buy food grade diatomaceous earth inexpensively ONLINE. I own a company called Earth Works Health, and we distribute Permaguard Fresh Water Food Grade DE products with the best prices on the net. You can find us at Earthworkshealth.com.

I don't think the Diatomaceous Earth that you're seeking is the same that is used in swimming pools.
I would check with the health food store or a vet before giving it to any animal.
By joanie massey 11 33 03/22/2009
Jean, I don't know anything about your question but just wanted to say HI cause I'm from SEALY-hi again.
Hope you have found it by Now! I use on my horses, cats, and birds. My birds include Dom. Turkey, Wild Turkey, Pigeons, Jersey Giant Chickens, One Emu, and a Chukar (Used to have Pheasant, Quail, & Peacock, Toned down a little). Birds get it in their food, nest boxes, sand (dusting) Boxes, Horses get it in their food and I sprinkle it on the floor to cut down on oders, and cats get in their food sprinkled on them for fleas etc. I've been using it for 10 years! Any way you can find it just about anywhere out west by the fifty lbs. bag. One place is wolfcreekranch.net in CA. Do your research! It has to be food grade, and don't buy anything that sits on a shelf in a garden shop near poison. I live in Upstate NY Its $30.00 to ship it here!

Warning! I just read on another site that you don't want to use diatomaceous earth that is for swimming pools: "DE sold for swimming pool filters is ineffective for insect control because it has been heated and chemically treated. It won't kill insects and it is very dangerous to breathe."Also, if you are using DE for garden insect control, be careful, because it will kill beneficial insects too! Don't use it too often.

Is diatomaceous earth readily available in Central Mexico? Is it a locally produced material, or must it be imported?Editor's Note: The Aztecs used to use it so it must be available in Mexico. (12/02/2007)

WARNING: Please make sure you distinguish the difference between "Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth" and "Pool Grade Diatomaceous Earth".Food-grade Diatomaceous earth is safe to use around pets and children and indoors with animals, while pool grade is toxic to pets and even humans! (08/11/2008)
You can buy food grade diatomaceous earth online at: http://wolfcreekranch1.tripod.com/defaq.htmlOr retail stores:

I stood behind Heavens door. Which memory was it going to be this time? What would I succumb to instead of choosing my destiny? What peace would I meet?
I turned the knob, my vessels heart beating heavy though I knew it was my emotions fluttering it. The disaster I had caused...the destruction, my heart fell, knowing the mistakes I wished could only be taken back. I was ruined and now I had come back to apologise, hoping for the best further more expecting the worst.
"Castiel." I knew of only one voice that deep and constructed.
"Michael, forgive me, I have come back...I have changed" my voice was far less weaker than his, I sounded distant and childish as he never tore his gaze from mine.
Michaels voice softened a little. "Castiel, you should know I can't let you back in. The gates of heaven need to be protected, I have to fulfil my job. My men are standing down at the moment, I do not wish to call upon them. Though, you give me uncertainties too. The wraths of heaven do not welcome you anymore...I'm sorry." I bowed my head in understanding.
"I don't wish you any trouble I just want to set in my apologies." I coolly replied. Michael stared at me, hard his gaze returning to a emotionless statue.
"You have become much of a human, brother" he blinked. "I will dismiss you with that."
"Why do you say that like it's a bad thing, it's not a flaw?" Hidden in the arm of my trench coat, I felt my sword slip down into the palm of my hand. Michael studied me, slowly his expression changing, understanding tingling at the tips of his brain.
Before he could stop me I pulled my sword out into the air, resting for a millisecond before hitting the hard thump of what I thought was Michael chest. I waited for the sparks, the deathly glow and the silent screaming- there was nothing. My sword was meant with another, it's silver glimmer, reflecting. Michael startled me as he thrashed at me, a blow hitting me in the stomach. I clutched at it while he lifted his sword in the air, waiting for the pain, I waited for death.
I saw the glow, as sparks lifted up around me, cocooning me in a spoon of pain-except- there was none. I flickered my eyes and saw only a few metres away Dean Winchester, holding a used sword and Michael's body slumped on the ground. I could see how his soul was burnt out , ripped right out of his carcass of bones, from that one sword. From the angel sword. One of the only things that could kill us.
Dean ran over to me, Sam following on his heels. "Cas? Are you okay?" I heard his deep accent tinged voice shake me fully awake.
"What happened here?" Sam asked, one eyebrow raised out of curiosity.
"They don't understand. I need to get in there."
"So you killed him? Nice one, no other way. Maybe a little tamed down of one?" dean asked.
"No other way" I confirmed, letting dean clutch my arm and lift me up. "We need to get out of here! Michaels army would of heard the death call by now- they will be here any second."
"What-" Sam and dean only managed to say before their heads were ripped out of their body. A smug grin was planted on the first solider, armed with a sword he flipped it towards me, I cascaded out of the way just in time. I manage to grab my sword off the ground, and slam it into the young angels head, he opened his mouth, a silent scream before slipping down beside my fellow friend.
I knew I was out numbered, I did the only thing I could think of, I opened Heavens door, my only chance.

Lyla Overmiller struggled at times to finish her degree in fine art/photography at York College. On Wednesday, she made it.
The York woman joined nearly 300 other students who received their degrees during the winter commencement at the college's Grumbacher Sport and Fitness Center.
Overmiller worked and went to school at the same time, doing both full-time for two of the seven years it took her to complete her degree.
"It probably took years off my life," she said with a laugh.
Overmiller works as an administrative assistant at Suquehanna Civil, a York engineering firm. She said the firm was supportive of her return to school, allowing her to leave work during the day to take a class and return later to finish work.
With a child on the way, she and her husband, Simon, can relax a little bit with something new to look forward to. But she hopes to open her own photography business in five years.
Other students who graduated Wednesday turned their focus to beating the job search thicket in the hopes of landing their first major position.
"Very competitive" was the way Zachery Starner of New Oxford described the job market for accounting positions. "I sat through a number of interviews before I got any call-backs."
Starner said he's working for a nonprofit and hopes to continue working while pursuing a master's degree in business administration. The MBA will help him become a certified public accountant, he said.
Kathryn Coyne of Hanover majored in criminal justice and hopes to become a police officer. She said she's taking the civil service test.
"I'm hoping it works out," she said. "Fortunately, a lot of places are hiring."
Julian Salinas, also of Hanover, said she got a phone call earlier in the day to interview for a graphic design position near Baltimore.
"It's hard to find jobs in the (graphic design) field in the York area," she said, adding that jobs are more plentiful in cities such as Baltimore and Philadelphia.
Her portfolio will contain a logo she designed for Computers for Kids, an organization her grandfather started in San Miguel, Mexico. The group is working to bring computers and computer literacy to rural schools and students who need them to complete their education.
One of the commencement speakers, Stephen Kushner, a former student at York Country Day School and a graduate of York Catholic High School, received an honorary degree from the college.
Kushner told the students he Googled the term "honorary doctorates" to find out who else got one and learned that most go to celebrities. He named the Bee Gees, Bob Dylan, Arnold Palmer, Jon Bon Jovi and what he described as his favorites -- Dolly Parton and Kermit the Frog.
He spoke about the importance of being patient in the face of life's difficult questions, such as the choice he faced between pursuing a music career in New York City or remaining in teaching.
He chose the latter.
After high school, Kushner received music degrees from Bucknell, University of Wisconsin and University of Massachusetts. Today, he teaches choral music at Germantown Friends School near Philadelphia. A career in teaching is meaningful and useful, he said.
"When someone asks you what you do, you'll hardly know where to begin," he said.
Stacy Lutter, assistant professor of nursing, described her dream of becoming a teacher since she was a small child.
Yet the Spring Grove native was offered a scholarship to pursue a nursing degree following high school. Her career as a nurse led her through the medical-surgical unit of a hospital as well as more college studies, culminating with a doctorate degree from Penn State.
She joined the faculty at York College in 2003, bringing together her keen interest in nursing and her desire to teach.
"You may need to be creative to fulfill your dreams, but don't forget what they are," she said.

Workshop Scholarships and Registration Updates It's not too late! Scholarship applications [11] for the August Developing and Using Assessments Linked to Science Learning Goals workshop are still being accepted through May 7, 2013.
And, there's still time to sign up for the May 15-17 session, so register now! Early Bird registration is also available for the August 7-9 and October 9-11 sessions.
All workshops are held at AAAS Headquarters in Washington, DC.
Chinese Edition of Atlas of Science Literacy Now in 2nd Printing Popular Science Press of China has announced plans to reprint Volume 1 of Project 2061's Atlas of Science Literacy [12]; plans are also underway to translate and publish Volume 2 of the Atlas, completing the set of nearly 100 conceptual strand maps for K-12 science teaching and learning. Each map, such as those for Natural Selection [13] and Statistical Reasoning [14], shows how students' understanding of a particular topic might progress from the simplest ideas in kindergarten to more sophisticated ideas in high school.
In addition to the Atlas volumes, Popular Science Press has partnered with the China Association for Science and Technology (CAST) to publish translations of Project 2061's earlier books, including Science for All Americans [15], Benchmarks for Science Literacy [16], and Designs for Science Literacy [17]. Like the Atlas, these books have been well received and widely used by educators throughout China.

THE court-appointed federal solid waste receiver now has new antagonists: the board members of the Guam Solid Waste Authority who have complained that Gershman, Brickner & Bratton (GBB) Inc. has made no progress in initiating the transition of solid waste control to GovGuam.
With the imminent completion of the Ordot Dump closure and the full operation of the Layon Landfill, GSWA is expected to take over solid waste control from the federal receiver.
After getting criticism from the Governor's Office and the former Layon landowners, the receiver is now under attack from GSWA board members who have asked the court for a special hearing on several concerns they have against GBB.
In a filing submitted by the Office of the Governor's legal counsel, Sandra Miller, GSWA board members told the court the receiver was delaying the transition of control over the Layon Landfill with an intention to wait until 2016 before turning over the landfill's management.
According to the board, the receiver only utilizes GSWA as "mere advisors." The board said the receiver's plan was to turn over the landfill in 2016, and then only at that point would the board be in charge.
"Relegating the GSWA board to an advisory capacity until 2016 as characterized by the receiver is simply inconsistent with the statutory duties of the GSWA board. The board is charged with overseeing the solid waste management and operations, and the orders of this court clearly contemplated a much sooner transition," the filing stated.
On March 2008, GBB assumed responsibilities over the island's solid waste as the court-appointed federal receiver. It entered into a seven-year agreement with an option for a two-year extension at a cost of nearly $3 million a year.
According to the filing, the Layon Landfill faces serious financial problems and the landfill may be bankrupt by the time it is transitioned back to the GSWA board.
"It will be saddled with tens of millions of dollars in debt and taking in revenue that is insufficient to support its operations. At that point, the receiver will be gone and the GSWA board, which has the ultimate responsibility of ensuring that the Layon Landfill project is feasible, will have a disaster on its hands," a brief from the Governor's Office states.
The GSWA board will meet with the receiver and solid waste stakeholders today before the court to discuss the board's role, to ensure a smooth transition and to find out whether the board should get their own legal counsel.
The court has set a 7:30 hearing this morning.
Federal receiver accused of delaying solid waste transition
THE court-appointed federal solid waste receiver now has new antagonists: the board members of the Guam Solid Waste Authority who have complained that Gershman, Brickner & Bratton (GBB) Inc. has made no progress in initiating the transition of solid waste control to GovGuam.

12 Must-See Finales
1 / 12
Monday, 5/21 at 9 PM on Fox
Hugh Laurie will make his final rounds as the gloriously grumpy Dr. Gregory House when Fox's medical drama ends its eight-season run. And he'll be joined by a host of old colleagues: Ex-cast members Olivia Wilde, Kal Penn, and Jennifer Morrison are set to return for the series finale. But with an episode title like "Everybody Dies," it sounds like the series plans to go out on a grim note. Is this a hint that we'll be saying goodbye to the cancer-ridden Dr. Wilson?

I would suggest not lifting the flap in a single pass, but several short passes so as not to stretch the flap along with the overlying epithelium and basement membrane.. and thus avoiding detachment epithelium from BM.

After Buckley served in the United States Army and started his career in law enforcement, he became interested in firefighting in 1971. In 1971, Black firefighters were non-existent in the city of Jackson. In 1972, Buckley visited the Jackson Fire Chief?s office to apply for a job and was denied a job application 6 times in the same year.
In 1972, Buckley contacted the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission to lodge a complaint against the City of Jackson. The U.S. Department of Justice became involved, issuing a consent decree, forcing the City of Jackson to comply with equal employment laws. Because of Buckley?s great courage and initiative, in 1974, the city?s first all-Black firefighter training class was formed. Buckley?s duty began at Fire Station No. 11 in South Jackson. He helped pave the way for Black firemen all over the city of Jackson. After serving 28 years on the Jackson Fire department, Buckley retired as Fire Captain. Buckley was well-known all over the city and will be greatly missed.
Buckley?s funeral will be held Saturday, April 27th, 2013 at Mount Center MB Church in Flora, MS at 11:00AM.

This would help me get all my old records out!
VPI HW 16.5 Record Cleaning Machine from Soundstage Direct Sweepstakes
According to the company:
The HW-16.5 is the standard in affordable record cleaning machines but neither its build quality nor its cleaning power has been compromised. Its high-torque, 18 RPM turntable motor is more than capable of withstanding the pressure of heavy scrubbing during extended cleaning sessions, and its 35-second cleaning cycle per side makes quick work of even the dirtiest records. Now with self aligning vacuum suction tubes for even more accurate cleaning, the HW-16.5's high-powered vacuum ensures quick, deep cleaning.
The newly designed vacuum pickup tube automatically adjusts to accommodate records of any thickness. The internal fluid collection system is made of stainless steel to prevent corrosion, and the fully enclosed design prevents splashing. In the VPI tradition, all components are extra heavy-duty and professional grade.
"I have found the HW-16.5 to be an outstanding performer. The record surfaces are microscopically clean and are so pristine they look new!" -- Bert Whyte, Audio Magazine
Clean your records with the HW-16.5 and hear what you've been missing. Includes: Built in dust cover 8oz bottle of VPI cleaning fluid & cleaning brush

Saw one of these in action once. Really amazing results!
I've wanted one forever but have never been able to free up the funds. This would make my year!
Just what I need when I am thinking of pulling out my LP collection.
Stereophile rules!
I'd love to be the winner of the esteemed VPI record cleaner thingie.
I've had my eye on this one for a long time!
So, I have records the survived a flood, would love to find out if this would help them!
Hey! Well, I don't have a record cleaning machine and cleaning by hands is a pain. I can definitely use this! I'll keep my fingers crossed on this one for sure
I have 30 years worth of records that have never been vacuumed...
Could really use this on my dad's collection that I was raised from the crib to college listening too, and plan on passing down in time. It's a bond we share and one of the few things that make sense in todays world. This would be a step up from the "original" discwasher brush I use. Thanks.
I have a friend who drools over VPI stuff and has thousands of records that could use a good cleaning. Would love to give him this wonderful gift! Thank you.
Make my box of dusty records clean so they can sing!!
Suck that spinning surface super smooth!
how about me, boss?
thanks for the contest!
Everytime I clean a record, I will think of Stereophile.
I would be beyond pleased to win this. I've been wanting one for years.
Can't afford a decent record cleaner. Do want.
My records need a cleanin' ... if I win I'd be a gleamin' ... !!!
I have about 250 vinyls and my Dad has somewhere around 800 and neither of us have a record cleaner. We could really get some use out of this thing!
What vinyl lover doesn't dream about owning this amazing machine?!
I have a great spot set aside for this beauty. Promise to use daily!
I too want to enjoy clean (and static-free) living. Yes please.
I am at that point to where this machine would do a better job at cleaning things than what I can currently muster. My records would be grateful.
The stacks could really use a machine like this! :-) Thx Stereophile and Soundstage Direct!
This would be a welcomed prize. I can finally get my LP's cleaned properly.
Yes please! This would save me the trouble of trying (and failing) to build one myself.
I have been washing by hand, but listen to way too many to continue to do that. Would love one of these.
I'm posting right here in this announcement with a comment where any comment wil do (that isn't profane or spam or profane spam). ;-)
I only dig at thrift and goodwill. NEED this to clean and save these babies!
This old guy would love to win this
A work horse like the VPI is indispensable for a record collector!
Nice machine. I have some records that were cleaned by one of these, and it makes a difference!
I've been eyeing one of these, love VPI
I've pretty much given up on being able to afford a motorized record cleaner. This would be fantastic.
I've cleared up a spot on my table for it.
But I need another one for my summer home...
Long Live Vinyl!

Landmarks commission rejects latest plan for rooftop additions at the Puck Building
October 4, 2011
The Landmarks Preservation Commission today sent the owners of the Puck Building at 295 Lafayette Street on the southeast corner at Houston Street back to the drawing board with their proposal to make rooftop additions to the landmark.
The building is owned by the Kushner Companies. Jared Kushner, the head of the company and the publisher of The New York Observer, a weekly newspaper in Manhattan, had proposed adding six penthouse units on the stepped roofs of the 1885-6 building that had been originally designed by Albert Wagner. Mr. Kushner is married to the former Ivanka Trump, whose father is Donald Trump.
The proposed addition was quite modern in appearance and was designed by Sherida Paulson, a former chairperson of the landmarks commission.
"Few buildings in New York are more iconic, more beloved, and more worthy of the designation 'landmark' than the Puck Building, and thus any proposed changes must be held to the highest level of scrutiny," declared Andrew Berman, executive director of the Greenwich Village Society for Historic Preservation.
"With this enormously visible proposed rooftop addition, the applicant did not meet the standards we should demand for respecting and preserving this singular New York City landmark," Mr. Berman continued.
In its testimony, the society said that the building's "prominence cannot be underestimated."
"To quote the designation report, 'the enormous red brick structure has been a commanding presence in the neighborhood since the time of its construction...(it) remains one of the most striking 19th-century industrial buildings in lower Manhattan.' At the nexus of several different neighborhoods, the building is visible from parts of the East Village, Lower East Side, NoHo, SoHo, and the South Villages," the society's statement continued.
"The applicant has gone to great lengths to demonstrate how the current configuration of the Puck Building is the result of multiple phases of construction. But unlike the Museum of Natural History and other buildings in the city that were built in stages, changes to the Puck Building were all supervised by a single architect and, again to quote the designation report, 'read as a single unified composition.'"
"The proposed rooftop addition," it continued, "greatly disrupts this unified composition."
"This is not a base looking for a tower like the Hearst Building or some down-on-its-luck refrigeration building in the Gansevoort Market Historic District that someone seems to think is too small and too plain," the Historic Districts Council maintained, adding that "The Puck Building is complete and has been for over a century....If these rooftop additions are constructed, they would highlight one feature on this individual landmark, the inscription on the book which hangs on Puck, 'What fools these mortals be!'"
The proposal was presented to last month and sent back for further revision. In the new plans, one of the penthouses was raised five more feet to accommodate a rooftop swimming pool, according to a report today at ny.curbed.com by Jeremiah Budin, who noted that one commissioner said the proposal was "too big, too tall, too visible, and calls too much attention to itself by the nature of its design."
In an August 8, 2011 article in The New York Post, Lois Weiss wrote that Mr. Kushner was "planning as many as six elegant and energy-efficient units that will range in size from 5,000 square feet to 8,500 square feet and range in price from $15 million to $50 million," adding that four of the penthouses also will have private terraces.
The building once housed the famous humor magazine, Puck, and has two large gilded statues on its facades by sculptor Henry Baerer of Shakespeare's mischievous and spunky character Puck, from A Midsummer's Night Dream.

Hi, I posted back in July about getting a mare as my first horse but that did not work out.
I have found a rescue not too far away and am supposed to go and look at some horses this week. The lady went through the entire list. After speaking with my dad, I will probably be bringing home two as he has decided he would like to ride with me as well. I've only had a mini mare but he has had horses before.
One of the horses that the rescue said would be a good one, is an 8 year old quarter 'type' mare. She is excellent in the saddle (so would be good for a beginner) but she said she does have an issue of trying to be too close to you. She would need ground work. Not a mean bone in her, just doesn't know to respect your space. How hard is this to correct?
The other ones she thought might work: a 9 year old papered thoroughbred mare that looks more like a qh with dished head. Very calm and quiet. Was not broke when they got her but they have halter broke, saddled and been riding her. She is 'green broke' and the rescue's definition of that is less than a year of riding. She said she would make a good kids horse. She had a leg injury a year ago but is back 100% now.
She also has a 3 year old Tennessee Walker that my dad is interested in. Great potential, very sweet and gentle. They have had her saddled and walked kids around on her back. Said it would be very easy to finish her out.
From her pictures and all, there is one other horse I have fell in love with. She told me that she is for an experienced horse person. She is a gorgeous palomino. Some renters had her and left her in a field when the moved away. She is skittish and needs someone to take time to build trust. She has been saddled and rode once. Then someone told the rescue that they recognized her as a rodeo saddle bronc. She didn't buck when rode. I feel for her as she was abandoned.
I have done trail rides but am still a beginner. I have found a trainer that will work with me on any horse I choose. Maybe I am silly, but I feel sure there is a horse somewhere that is meant for me, that can bond with me. I own my own business so work from my home and make my own hours. I have lots and lots of time on my hand to devote to working with a horse and gaining their trust. I research everything quite a lot before deciding.
Also, another alternative is getting a horse to ride now and one that needs work so I am gaining experience while I work with the other. This lady really needs to place some horses before winter as her husband just had surgery. I had thought about asking her if it would help her to adopt a couple of horses and then foster a couple more.
Would love your thoughts and advice.
Thank you,

Decisions, decisions. Whether youre building a brand-new home or pondering a kitchen makeover, there are dozens of big and small details to lose sleep over. Architects Marcy Schulte, Sarah Nettleton, Geoffrey Warner and John Vetter share their perspectives on hot home trends and the most popular projects, sustainability and making the most of your budget. This is the second installment, focused on your homes curb appeal and creating home enhancements on a budget.
Q: What are ways to enhance an uninviting exterior?
Schulte: We gave a dated 1980s suburban home a welcoming contemporary entry by adding rich materials and details. We put a wood trellis over the front door, added textural siding and clerestory windows. By the entry, we created an outdoor room with a raised stone patio and garden wall for privacy.
Q: Everyone wants more space. How do you get it on a limited budget?
Nettleton: First, look at rearranging what you have and possibly removing walls or moving doorways. As a last resort, add on but dont just build big. An addition should be functional and well-designed.
Q: How can you spend your remodeling dollars wisely?
Schulte: Get the basic shape and structure of the room right, then invest in quality materials, and lastly layer in color and texture. Invest in great lighting in key locations.
Warner: Decide whats most important now, and what you can do later. We renovated our house on the 10-year plan. Do the best infrastructure features you can within your budget. You can add custom cabinets later but not insulation.
Nettleton: In a kitchen remodel, we cut out a round recessed area in the ceiling of the eating area and put in a strip light around the perimeter. The circular glowing light, combined with the round table, define the space. Its a timeless architectural element thats cheaper than a chandelier.
Q: What are some trends driving technology, materials and design?
Schulte: Living more sustainably with everything from the low-tech a place for composting and collecting recycling to high-tech automated home systeSchulte that control lighting, sound and temperature.
Were using more quartz surfaces than granite. People like the tonal sleek contemporary look, and its easy to refresh with paint and accessories over time. Countertops are a matte finish rather than high-gloss. Backsplash matte tiles that look like concrete are popular.
Warner: Clients are much more aware of sustainability, greener ways to use resources and overall energy efficiency. The energy code will get stricter, and that will affect design. Solar panels may be mandated at some point. People are more open about using metal and fiber-cement siding, which has been exploding over the last 10 years. Taking down walls in older homes and creating open floor plans are a big trend.
Vetter: Design-savvy clients are more concerned with the quality of space, what resonates with their lifestyle and the property they purchased not a huge amount of square footage that lacks details. Its a much more casual way of living and entertaining. Architect Sarah Susanka brought this principle to the foreground but it kind of fell on deaf ears until the recession. Now more people are downsizing to a simpler lifestyle and want a more direct connection to nature.
