ABSTRACT: The human muscle chloride channel ClC-1 has a 398-amino acid carboxyl-terminal domain that resides in the cytoplasm and contains two CBS (cystathionine-beta-synthase) domains. To examine the role of this region, we studied various carboxyl-terminal truncations by heterologous expression in mammalian cells, whole-cell patch clamp recording, and confocal imaging. Channel constructs lacking parts of the distal CBS domain, CBS2, did not produce functional channels, whereas deletion of CBS1 was tolerated. ClC channels are dimeric proteins with two ion conduction pathways (protopores). In heterodimeric channels consisting of one wild type subunit and one subunit in which the carboxyl terminus was completely deleted, only the wild type protopore was functional, indicating that the carboxyl terminus supports the function of the protopore. All carboxyl-terminal-truncated mutant channels fused to yellow fluorescent protein were translated and the majority inserted into the plasma membrane as revealed by confocal microscopy. Fusion proteins of cyan fluorescent protein linked to various fragments of the carboxyl terminus formed soluble proteins that could be redistributed to the surface membrane through binding to certain truncated channel subunits. Stable binding only occurs between carboxyl-terminal fragments of a single subunit, not between carboxyl termini of different subunits and not between carboxyl-terminal and transmembrane domains. However, an interaction with transmembrane domains can modify the binding properties of particular carboxyl-terminal proteins. Our results demonstrate that the carboxyl terminus of ClC-1 is not necessary for intracellular trafficking but is critical for channel function. Carboxyl termini fold independently and modify individual protopores of the double-barreled channel.Journal of Biological Chemistry 04/2004; 279(13):13140-7.

Article: Glutamate Modifies Ion Conduction and Voltage-dependent Gating of Excitatory Amino Acid Transporter-associated Anion Channels[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Excitatory amino acid transporters (EAATs) mediate two distinct transport processes, a stoichiometrically coupled transport of glutamate, Na+, K+, and H+, and a pore-mediated anion conductance. We studied the anion conductance associated with two mammalian EAAT isoforms, hEAAT2 and rEAAT4, using whole-cell patch clamp recording on transfected mammalian cells. Both isoforms exhibited constitutively active, multiply occupied anion pores that were functionally modified by various steps of the Glu/Na+/H+/K+ transport cycle. Permeability and conductivity ratios were distinct for cells dialyzed with Na(+)- or K(+)-based internal solution, and application of external glutamate altered anion permeability ratios and the concentration dependence of the anion influx. EAAT4 but not EAAT2 anion channels displayed voltage-dependent gating that was modified by glutamate. These results are incompatible with the notion that glutamate only increases the open probability of the anion pore associated with glutamate transporters and demonstrate unique gating mechanisms of EAAT-associated anion channels.Journal of Biological Chemistry 01/2004; 278(50):50112-9.

Bush's Freedom Speech; A Global Message Worth Repeating
Byline: Tod Lindberg, THE WASHINGTON TIMES
RIGA, Latvia. - At the Riga airport on the way to a German Marshall Fund-sponsored conference running parallel to the biannual NATO summit, a German friend asked me what I thought George W. Bush would say in the speech he was scheduled to give. I said I thought he had better give a "values" speech. My interlocutor replied, "then we're in big trouble."
My German friend, like the vast majority of his countrymen and no small number of Americans, is no fan of the 43rd president of the United States. He regards Mr. Bush as a quixotic adventurer, out to remake the world in accordance with a naive, religiously inspired mission of spreading democracy, unconstrained either by humility or by due regard for unintended consequences or by law, with Iraq the predictable and disastrous result. And he, by the way, is one of the staunchest German defenders of a strong trans-Atlantic partnership.
This NATO summit was not expected to produce dramatic headlines, such as those that accompanied the initiation of 10 newly free nations of Central and Eastern Europe into the alliance in post-Cold War summits past. Hopes for, and in the case of my German friend worries about, a further push eastward, with the initiation of the accession process for Ukraine and Georgia, came unglued earlier this year with an election in Ukraine and the messy formation of a government that seemed to represent a throwback to the days before the Orange Revolution in Kiev.
Moreover, Mr. Bush had just suffered an epic political loss in the midterm elections, his comeuppance for failure in Iraq, in the view of many. Would he present himself at Riga as duly chastened, at last acknowledging that the course he set out on lacks support not only abroad but also at home? Would he recast U.S. policy in a more circumspect light, scaling back the ambitions now that they have collided with hard reality?
He would not. A "values" speech is exactly what Mr. Bush gave in Riga. He recalled the history of Latvia and its fellow "captive nations" and noted that the NATO meeting there was a tribute to the spread of freedom: "A continent that was once divided by an ugly wall is now united in freedom. Yet the work of uniting Europe is not fully complete. Many nations that threw off the shackles of tyranny are still working to build the free institutions that are the foundation of successful democracies. NATO is encouraging these nations on the path to reform and as governments make hard decisions for their people, they will be welcomed into the institutions of the Euro-Atlantic community. …

Hello, gurus.
I have a problem when I exec a program form java by means of Runtime.exec
When it is exec'ed an MS-DOS window is opened and I don't know how to make so that the window wouldn't open.
Also after exec'ing I capture output and input from that program, like this:
r = getRunTime();
pr = r.exec("myprog.exe");
is = pr.getInputStream();
os = pr.getOutPutStream();
es = pr.getErrorStream();

How Can Men Express Sexual Interest in a Feminist Way?
Great Question via Feminism101.
Honesty is pretty much the key for me. If you are a real feminist ally, then your straight up "I find you attractive and I'd like to get to know you better" will not creep me out. Having standards for personality are a real turn on too. I recently got asked out by a guy, and in making plans for our date via facebook chat, I made some witty comment and he said "Oh good, you're as funny sober as you are drunk." (We met at a friend's grad party and I was a bit lit by the time we started talking). I was delighted that he had standards for me to meet as well as me having standards for him. This DOESN'T mean that I want to be given a list of criteria that I have to meet for you approval alla "The Game," but I likewise don't want a guy who is willing to go out with me purely based on how I look, even if I'm a complete tool.
I also think this has a lot to do with paying attention, reading signs, and following her lead. I agree with the blog post too, that it's all about tailoring your response to the person you are interested in. Ya know, as if she is a specific and unique human being and not one of a group of prey. My friend and I often get identical messages from men on okcupid. Some of them get pissed when we bust them and say that the majority of women don't write back. I suspect this is because no one responds to form letters.
That's what I have for now. What do y'all think?

Quick question for all you veteran NYC marathoners:
I live on the UES (E 60s) and was wondering if I can cut across the park to get back home or if I will have to go all the way around...
This is my 2nd NYC marathon, but first one since moving here 1.5 years ago from CA. Hopefully I can work on reclaiming my California tan during this race -- weather looks absolutely perfect!!!
Thanks in advance - see you all out there!
The underpass roads (def 86, prob 79th) are open and are def the right way across
Thank you for this thread! I have to get back to UES as well and I'd rather just avoid the Family Meeting Area all together.
HM: 1:40:16 (Chicago '13) M: TBD!
Thanks for the info dyrewolf!
Good luck to everyone!
On a related note...
Anyone know if the 79St crosstown bus will still be running through the park Sat night around 8PM?
Is it possible they have to shut it down for logistics, or should the road still be open?
---Charlie Byrne Delray Beach, FL - Running / Weather GeekDisney 02/03/04/05/09/10/13, Maine 05/06/09, MCM 07/08/09/(14), NYC 04/06/12, Chi (14)...
CFByrne - There are no changes to the M79 on Saturday, I just checked the MTA website.
The DOT doesn't mention any diversion to the M79 but they do say that 81st Street is closed. The plan before it was cancelled last year was that the M79 would be diverted to 86th Street until 6 pm, which is just a long way of saying, you should be fine at 8 pm.

Learn about Windows PowerShell
Summary: Specify Windows PowerShell error actions.
Question: Which command when typed at the beginning of a script will cause Windows PowerShell to ignore errors and continue executing the code?
Answer: $erroractionpreference=SilentlyContinue
Question: How can I ignore errors for a single command instead of for the entire script?
Answer: Use the ErrorAction parameter and specify one of the following values: SilentlyContinue, .
Question: That is a lot of typing. Is there an easier way to specify the ErrorAction for a single command?
Answer: Yes. You can use the parameter alias EA and use a number value for the action. For example, 0 is SilentlyContinue, 1 is Stop, 2 is Continue, 3 is Inquire, or 4 is Ignore.
Helper function to teh rescue:
0..3|%{'{0} is {1}' -f $_,[enum]::GetName([System.Management.Automation.ActionPreference],$_)}
another variant:
Get-Process MyProc 2>$null
you can also:
[enum]::GetValues([Management.Automation.ActionPreference]) | % {
"{0} -> {1}" -f ([Management.Automation.ActionPreference]::$_).value__,$_
Hi Ed,
specifiying the error action is extermely important if you want to write scripts, that really run to the end!
The end may be a special terminating error or the normal end of the script, even if there have been some errors!
This is important for the acceptance by other users who shouldn't be "threatend" by error messages that they don't understand ( and they can't relate to the cause of an error anyway )
"$erroractionpreference=SilentlyContinue" is something that should be used very carefully!
Turning the error check off for a whole script might give you some headaches later on!
@JRV @Walid Toumi great tips for finding the enumeration values! I also have a function I use to get this information, blogged about it a year or so ago.
@K_Schulte One of the hardest things I have to do when teaching PowerShell classes to newbies is getting them to READ the error message. Don Jones even suggests changing the RED color to something more friendly! You are absolutely correct that setting everything to silentlycontinue should REALLY REALLY be used with caution.
And remember "-ea stop" is useful to convert a non-terminating error into one that will be caught with try...catch when you do want to handle the error.
Definitely a handy tip have added to favorites. Would have been nice if it had bothered to include and confirm the other four number values though. So 0 is SilentlyContinue, are the other four in order, so Stop = 1, Continue = 2, Inquire = 3 and Ignore = 4?
@RJCox you are absolutely correct. I often change the ErrorActionPreference to Stop so I can use Try / Catch error handling to work with non-terminating errors. Great pointer. Thanks.
@Keith Langmead Yeah, I thought about adding the enumeration values but decided against it -- it was an intended decision because it is a "quick tip" and not a full blown article. I wrote a Hey Scripting Guy blog article a while back that includes a function that retrieves enumeration names and values from enum types. In fact, I use that function to this day and have it in my profile. Here is the link: blogs.technet.com/.../hey-scripting-guy-weekend-scripter-enumerations-and-values.aspx to the article. Also, I figured that the community would also chip in and list the enum values if there was sufficient question ... and both JRV and Walid wrote code that lists the enum values and names. I did, however, go ahead and update the post based upon your recommendation, because in retrospect it does seem like an omission. Thanks for the suggestion.

Also, they better insist on having Americans write the show unless they manage to get the

Actually, the script for the

Star Trek

That's why I'm aiming for an animated series done the way I've mentioned previously, uncanny valley be dammed.

Appeals court upholds Pittsburgh ruling on destroyed evidence
A federal appeals court on Monday upheld a Pittsburgh judge's ruling that city police didn't realize charges were still pending in a federal drug case when they destroyed evidence.
Tiona Jones, 33, of Beechview pleaded guilty in June 2011 to possessing more than 100 grams of heroin and is serving a five-year prison sentence. She retained the right to appeal U.S. District Judge Gustave Diamond's decision refusing her motion to throw out the case after police reported they had destroyed the evidence.
The 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals agreed with Diamond that there was no evidence the police knew the case was pending when they destroyed the heroin and Jones' change purse while clearing out a drug-evidence room that had a ventilation problem. If the court had overturned Diamond, Jones could have withdrawn her guilty plea.

Asure Software Reports Third Quarter Financial Results, Announces Accelerated Transition to SaaS *Third quarter revenue of $5.7 million was up 35% or $1.5 million compared to the second quarter 2012. *Cash and cash equivalents increased by $1.3 million or 83% compared to second quarter 2012. *Recurring revenue has increased to 80% of our total revenue in third quarter up from 75% in the previous quarter. AUSTIN, Texas, Nov. 14, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Asure Software, Inc. (Nasdaq:ASUR), a leading provider of workplace management software, today announced results for the third quarter, which ended September 30^th, 2012. Q3 Strategic Highlights *Acquired the outstanding shares of PeopleCube effective July 1, 2012. This acquisition resulted in an increase in revenue in the quarter of $1.8 million and expanded Asure Software's product line in the U.S. and EMEA. PeopleCube's workplace management solutions help companies more effectively manage scheduling processes, increase utilization of corporate assets, and improve workplace productivity, all of which result in better cost control over one of a company's highest expenses – real estate. PeopleCube's SaaS (Software as a Service)- and HaaS (Hardware as a Service)- based solutions are directly in line with Asure Software's strategy to bring innovative, cloud-based solutions to clients to help them simplify their workplaces. *An accelerated SaaS-based technology strategy, with a de-emphasis on perpetual licensing models, continues to be a primary strategic driver and we are seeing high customer satisfaction and marketplace acceptance. The AsureForce Time & Labor Management (TLM) and AsureSpace NetSimplicity platforms are now exclusively SaaS-based and all other solutions are moving primarily toward a pure repetitive approach by end of year 2012. *Expanded senior leadership team with the addition of two proven executives: 1) Jennifer Crow, CFO, with a proven track record of success in the areas of finance, accounting and investor relations and 2) Jennifer Roth, VP of Marketing, who has over 20 years of experience building global brands and driving demand generation programs that align with business priorities and directly support revenue goals. Q3 Results *Revenue for the third quarter was $5.7 million compared to $4.2 million in the previous quarter and $2.5 million in the third quarter 2011. Revenue for the nine months ended was $14 million versus $7.3 million in the same period 2011. *Non-GAAP revenue* for the third quarter was up $6.3 million. Non-GAAP revenue for the nine months ended was $14.7 million. *Gross margin for the quarter was $4.7 compared to $3.2 in the previous quarter and $2.0 in the same quarter 2011. Gross margin for the nine months ended was $11 million versus $5.9 million in the same period 2011. *EBITDA* excluding one-time items* for the third quarter was $906,000 up from the $838,000 in the previous quarter. One-time items* in the quarter related legal and professional fees, site consolidation related to the acquisition of Meeting Maker and other one-time expenses* were $739,000 up from $427,000 in the second quarter 2012 for the one-time items* related to the acquisition of ADI Time and Legiant. Management Commentary Pat Goepel, Chief Executive Officer of Asure Software commented, "Our third quarter saw us complete an important transaction with the acquisition of PeopleCube. The addition of PeopleCube's offerings to our product line and our fully-SaaS based AsureForce platform align with our strategic shift to a pure-play SaaS-based recurring revenue model. Goepel also commented, "Third quarter earnings and gross margin were up over the previous quarter 2012 and we saw strong cash at $1.3 million. We also experienced a non-cash deferred revenue charge due to the PeopleCube acquisition in the third quarter." Jennifer Crow, Asure's Chief Financial Officer added, "Our guidance is being revised (per below) to reflect the fair market valuation accounting treatment of deferred revenue and reduced perpetual revenue, offset by expected SaaS business. As a reminder, perpetual revenue (and correlated profit) is recognized immediately upon booking, whereas SaaS and recurring revenues are recognized ratably over longer time periods. Thus, an accelerated shift to SaaS, including the PeopleCube acquisition, has a negative impact to near-term reported financials but our Board believes it increases the Company's value over the longer term. Asure continues to generate strong cash flow while managing costs and expects to continue to do so, which positions us well for future financial growth and strong forward performance." Please see below for details around Asure's financial results.

Such risks and uncertainties could cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. *Non-GAAP Financial Measures This press release includes the following financial measures defined as a non-GAAP financial measure by the Securities and Exchange Commission: EBITDA and GAAP Net Income/(Loss) excluding one-time items. These supplemental financial measures are not required by GAAP, nor are the presentation of this financial information intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. Management recognizes that non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the items associated with Asure's earnings results as determined in accordance with GAAP. However, for the reasons described below, management uses these non-GAAP measures to evaluate the performance of Asure's business. Asure's management believes that it is important to provide investors with these same tools, together with reconciliation to GAAP, for evaluating the performance of Asure's business, as it may provide additional insight into Asure's financial results. See the "Reconciliation of GAAP Net Income/(Loss) to Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, Amortization and Stock Compensation Expense (EBITDA)" and the "Reconciliation of GAAP Net Income/(Loss) to Net Earnings Excluding One-Time Items" tables included in this press release for further information regarding these non-GAAP financial measures. In addition, these measures are presented because management believes they arefrequently used by securities analysts, investors and others in the evaluation of companies. EBITDA is calculated by adding income taxes, interest expense, depreciation and amortization and stock compensation expense to net earnings, EBITDA is not defined under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net earnings and other consolidated earnings data prepared in accordance with GAAP or as a measure of Asure's profitability. Net Earnings Excluding One-Time Items is calculated by combining the company's GAAP Net Earnings, or earnings per share, with items that are one time in nature and are not expected to recur on a dollar or per share basis. Free Cash Flow is computed by subtracting capital expenditures from cash flow from operations, each as determined in accordance with GAAP and as reflected in the statement of cash flows. Non-GAAP Revenue is computed added back the deferred revenue fair market valuation to GAAP revenue.

Some guy on Craigslist wants to convert his old 10 speed to fixed-gear, and possibly pay me for it.
I can get all of the parts, all relatively high-end, for around $100.
What do you think is a fair markup? I'm leaning towards $200, because this will include wheelbuilding.
Do you think that this is a rip off, or could I fairly get more?

The Supreme Court has just struck down Section 4 of the Voting Rights Act in a 5-to-4 ruling. The court ruled in favor of officials from Shelby County, Alabama, in finding that a formula in the act that determines which states need federal approval to change voting laws is invalid.
"Congress — if it is to divide the states — must identify those jurisdictions to be singled out on a basis that makes sense in light of current conditions. It cannot rely simply on the past," wrote Chief Justice John Roberts in the majority.
"In the Court's view, the very success of Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act demands its dormancy," wrote Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg in the dissent. "There is no doubt that these improvements are in large part because of the Voting Rights Act. The Act has proved immensely successful at redressing racial discrimination and integrating the voting process."
According to Reuters:
"The court, split on ideological lines, did not go as far as striking down Section 5 of the law, known as the preclearance provision, which requires certain states to get approval from the Justice Department or a federal court before making election-law changes. But a majority did invalidate Section 4 of the act, which sets the formula for states covered by Section 5 and was based on historic patterns of discrimination against minority voters. Although Section 5 is technically left intact, it is effectively nullified, at least for the near future, as Congress would now need to pass new legislation setting a new formula before it can be applied again."

Dary, your paper art is amazing! In fact, you inspired Quin to start trying origami when she saw all of the pictures that I showed her of your creations. I just posted her roses on my FB and her first comment when she finished them was: "I hope Dary will like them!" I am so glad you shared the link with me for the instructions site. She has been lost in looking through it and checking out all of the different things she wants to try. So, a big thank you for inspiring Quin to try something new that she has discovered that she loves doing!
Take care,

iHerb Customer Reviews
so far so good
4 people found the following review helpful
Posted by Reviewer1607638 on Aug 23, 2009
My doctor, an integrative medicine guy (prefers nutritional supplements to prescription drugs when possible), suggested that I take ipriflavone as well as calcium and vitamin D for my bones. He told me that ipriflavone stimulates the growth of osteoblasts (bone cells). All I can say is that I am 60 years old and got a full bone density test a month ago. My results were normal, no osteoporosis borderline or otherwise. I'm going to keep doing what I have been doing, which includes 600 mg ipriflavone daily. The NOW brand is always good and I'm a faithful iHerb shopper! You can't beat the prices or the selection. Sorry to sound like a commercial, but you can't.
Great product. Helps prevent bone loss.

Estrogen slows bone break down and after menopause ipriflavone does the same. I find it a very important part of my health regiment. I take 2/day.

I was diagnosed with osteoporosis last year and am trying to improve my bone density without western medication (fosamax), which is designed to destroy the bone's remodeling cells and has tons of nasty side effects. Thanks iHerb for providing Now Foods Ipriflavone, along with many other great natural products for treating Osteoporosis. I am aiming for a much better Bone Density Scan in another year.

This is a very valuable supplement for me as I have bone cancer and IT WORKS! Save me taking dangerous prescribed drugs. You are one of the few firms still selling this....impossible in England.. Please DO NOT STOP!

We won a gift package from Ultimate Affairs. Lindsay our wedding planner was horrible. AT first we were suppose to have a bride emergency kit, which we nevor got. The package came with the service of the wedding planner and an assiatnce for the wedding day, which she called me two days before the weding telling me the assitance could not make it. ( I was very ongra because I had ordered a plate for her as well). We et with Lindsay a mont before the wedding and she was to take over and make sure everything run smoothly the day of the wedding.
wedding August 2011
A lot went wrong at the reception. She went to the hall to make sure everything would run smoothly and problem free, (not sure what she did all afternoon), because as soon as we got to the hall I noticed problem after problem.
The tables were not set up right. The cater did ot have a tea and cuppuchino machine as we agreed on. The head table had no party favours (can you believe that) and we had 80 extra pieces of cake pops sitting in fridge in kitchen. The BIGGEST one of all was that during dinner instead of making sure everything was going well, she sat at a table and did not overlooked anything till I asked her why the food was cold, the one table was not served and the bar tenders were to go around the table to serve the wine, whcih they did not do. I had to go talk to her a few times about all the problems and she told me she would take care of it, whcih she did not do. It was a disaster.... My reception was ruined. I will never recoment her as a wedding planner....
You Can't go wrong with this company"
- I am writing to personally thank you for making our wedding a memorable experience. The one factor that stood out in my mind was that you went the extra mile to ensure that we all had a great time. Although I am sure you were exhausted by evening�s end, you never lost your smile or your desire to make us all feel comfortable. It is people like you who make people like me spread the word about how wonderful the service was. You should be very proud of the work that you do. When my Uncle had lost his insulin , you made sure that there was some there in a minute to help him out, Other planners never even asked all that you did, That is why our wedding, went off without a hitch because of you !!
Please be assured that whenever I am asked about wedding services, yours will be the name that comes to mind. Again, thanks for all of your time and efforts that you put into our starting of our new life as husband and wife.
There's so much I could say about Pam. Not only were her floral arrangements gorgeous, but she was incredibly eager and willing to help out in any way possible. A week before our wedding my father had a heart attack and Pam was gracious enough to stay throughout the entire wedding and helped out way beyond what we had asked her to do. Pam took it upon herself to act as a 'coordinator' of sorts, which my family was and is still so incredibly grateful for.
I could write a whole long list of reasons I would never hire Pam or Ben again, however it would be similar to the negative reviews already on here. She is disorganized and promises you the world and doesn't deliver. Lucky for her, my husband and I were less concerned with the material perfection of our wedding and more cared about our vows. We wanted to get married and that was accomplished. As far as the flowers I requested, originally it was supposed to be lillies and daisies, however, when I arrived in Maryland a few days before the wedding, my bouquet was being made with roses. Not a big deal, but it would have been nice to be called about the change. The only thing that was correctly done on our wedding was the cake, well and the fact that my husband and I love each other very much and that is what matters. It doesn't matter that our planner was rude to our guests, that she ate with our guests (but did pay for herself) or that her fiance/boyfriend/husband is a little on the eccentric side. When we tried to make a complaint we were told that they did us a favor by doing our wedding for the price we paid, when really had I been from the area, I could have done the entire thing myself for probaly 1/4 of the cost. Hey she's good at one thing though, convincing you that your wedding is planned and under control when really its not. The thing is, my day only happened once, I can't redo it, and so I can only help other brides in hopes that they have a more clear picture before the day comes.
My money was refunded.
I hired Pam as event planner for my daughtes wedding in Nov. 07. Pam comes across as very professional & will promise you the world but, in the end she does not live up to her obligations. On the day of the rehearsal she arrived late. On the wedding day she was rude to several guests & also got snippy with the bride. She did not set up the candy buffet as we requested, she did not place the gold overlay fabric or stagger the heights of the crystal containers. She removed the decorations, inside and outside, 40 minutes before the reception ended. Any professional planner knows that you do not remove decorations while the guests are still in attendance. I had gone over this with her before the wedding & she knew that they were to remain until 9:00 p.m. She refused to light the candles in the chapel, the father of the bride had to light them. She lost the basket the the wish cards for the "perfect pair." She did not present the groomsmen & groom with flowers until after they started taking pictures. We had to repeatedly ask for the brides & attendants flowers, Pam said that she didn't have time for that right now. Grandmothers were not given there flowers until they had already been seated in the chapel. THe arbor for the church was not decorated according to contract. She put one arrangement on the top (some of the flowers were dead) and place 2 arrangements at the base in white pots. The flowers were supposed to swag all the way down the arbor & the flowers were supposed to be in gold pots. When I asked her about the $800 she charged, after the wedding, for the arbor she said that $275 of the money was rental fee for the arbor. There was never any mention of a rental fee. Brides, you need to beware, Pam will promise you the world but, she will not follow through. When I talked to her later she had an excuse for everything and nothing was her fault. She blamed everyone else. She also likes to stir up trouble. If the price she gives you seems to good to be true then there is a reason. You only get what you pay for!!
Went above and beyond for our wedding, Due to some family issues that of my mother passing so close to the wedding, I can't even begin to think of what my wedding day would have been like, the flowers was just beautiful, she and her staff turned the place in to the place it should have been in a elegant site, the guests are still talking about how wonderful it was. For planning, I can't stress how much stress she took off of my family with all that was going on. Worth every penny we spent , I can't thank Pam & Donna for all there wonderful help, the shoulder to cry on. You can't go wrong with this company..
Pam was so great to work with! I would highly recommend her!
Pam was great. She by far had the best price for what I wanted and when I latter needed to add cake flowers and another centerpiece she didn't charge me anymore. My flowers were beautiful and exactly what I wanted. Also, Pam is a wedding planner as well so though I didn't hire her as my planner, she was very willing to offer suggestions and advice on other planning aspects.
"The Ultimate Affair was hired as florist and wedding planner for the 'day of' services. Flowers that were paid for were not delivered - among those not delivered were grooms flower, mother of the groom corsage, father of the bride, mantle flowers, wreath, engraved bucket for holding petals, many others. Numerous attempts to settle have been ignored, promises to refund have gone unfulfilled. The owner and planner(Pam) left the wedding sick, and the assistant that was left on site to fill in abandoned the wedding when asked for help in locating the missing flowers. Please carefully consider your choice if you are thinking about using this vendor. Don't let the good reviews fool you. If you look closely at the good reviews and the website for this vendor you will notice as I did the same poor sentence structure, grammar, punctuation, spelling and language. Please feel free to contact me at my eamil address if you would like further details. email@example.com" "
Pam did such a wonderful job on our flowers! My bridal bouquet was amazing! It even had some sparkle and pearls in it. She knew exactly what I was picturing. I loved all the flowers and she really worked to make sure the centerpieces and whole decor looked perfect for our day!
The flowers were beautiful, exactly what I wanted. However, I did not receive everything that I asked for. There was supposed to be petals to be thrown after the ceremony and there were none. When I asked she (Pam) told me they were there she does not know why no one threw them. A total lie!! During the last month of wedding planning I asked her to assist with Wedding Planning services which she did half-way at best. She was to order me a cursive metal cake topper in the letter "M" with rhinestones on it. She instead went to the local craft store and bought a wooden letter "M" (not at all cursive, something you would see at Michael's) and spray painted it. And she charged me extra for it. There were other things that she was supposed to provide and when I asked her about it, she either made and excuse or flat out lied.
For floral services, she was ok. Wedding planning, a bid disappointment. Overall, would not recommend.

Trustworthy reviews are our priority. Businesses can't pay to change or remove reviews.
Absolutely the best place we could have picked. Not only is it gorgeous, Jessica and Brendan are very helpful and very flexible. They helped with every detail of the wedding and I couldn't have had a better experience.
Everyone was very helpful and made sure we had a great day! They were incredibly flexible with us picking up the items afterwards, our rehearsal, and even came to my rescue when I tripped and fell and held up the rehearsal! Very accommodating and they worked well with all of our other vendors!
Jessica, Brendan, and Tim were hands down the most helpful and user friendly people involved in our whole wedding. I have had the fortune of knowing Jessica and Brendan for many years as both my wife and I were cadets at Valley Forge. Having worked many weddings for Jessica and Brendan in the past I knew without a doubt the quality of their professionalism. It was so meaningful to my wife and I to be married where we met as students year before and Jessica, Brendan, Tim, and their staff made it more than perfect. Everything we asked for was accomplished without argument, without hesitation, without question. They made it clear that it was our day and they valued our business and placed our priorities and needs first. I cannot say enough fantastic things about what a pleasure it was to work with them from this side of a wedding. They orchestrated the entire day confidence and an astute attention to detail. It is clear the amount of knowledge and practice they have in every detail of the day. Things that my wife and I had not even thought about were handled easily behind the scenes. All of our guests commented on what a fantastic place it was! If you are planning to get married on the main line you cannot do any better for the quality of the staff, food, and service as well as the incredibly beautiful chapel and reception venue. The views and photo ops around campus are unmatched. Book them and book them now!
Having our wedding ceremony and reception at Valley Forge Military Academy was the best decision we made after getting engaged. The event coordinator and ceremony coordinator were very professional and helpful. The catering is done by Sudexo catering and was great. The chapel is absolutely beautiful. Eisenhower Hall was the perfect size for our guests (less than 200). Even without an elevator, they ensured that our two guests that required assistance made it upstairs without a hitch. I could go on and on for hours on how fantastic this place is. If you're looking for a wedding venue near Philadelphia and don't want to pay the high city prices, this is the place.
Recently had my wedding at VFMC and it was absolutely brilliant. It was a blessed day, perfect weather, and it was a great location to have the photo shoot after. The cadets rolling out the runner was a wonderful and unique touch. Jessica and Brendan made the day seamless and were overly available to accommodate all of our requests prior and the day of. The church was beautiful, spacious, and classic. Parking was a two minute walk, but more than sufficient for a 500 guest wedding. Would strongly recommend the team and venue for special occasions.
Oh My where should I began! Brendan and Jessica are absolutely FABULOUS! My husband and I could not have drawn a better picture of how we wanted our day to turn out. The VFMA was simply beautiful. Both Brendan and Jessica did a phenomenal job cordially walking us through what could have been a very chaotic process.They availed themselves for our multiple visits to the venue, gave us advice and insight from personal experiences and most importantly they did everything with a smile.They both were very polite, patient, gracious and they simply made us feel like family. Their superb customer service is priceless. The Seymour's are more than satisfied with our choice to have our wedding at the Valley Forge Military Academy!
MWSS 472 would like to thank Valley Forge Military Academy for making the Squadron's 51st Annual Mess Night an event to remember. The staff was exceptional and the venue could not have been more perfect for this time honored military tradition. A special thanks to Brendan Davidson for the time he devoted to our event. His attentive responsiveness to our needs, and flexibility to small last minute changes personified the professionalism that he and his staff are credited for. I would personally recommend this venue to any organization that was looking for a night to truly remember! CWO2 John W. Peskuski
Brendon cannot be more helpful and I don't think there is enough space to write all the ways he was helpful. Brendon and Jess will ensure your wedding goes off without a hitch. They plan, are helpful, and just made the entire process incredibly easy. Brendon is a stickler about the details and he made sure, like we were personal friends and it was his obligation, that our wedding and reception was 100% perfect.
BEST DAY EVER!!! We really could not have had such a great if it wasn't so easy to work with two great people, Brendan and Jess. They both made it a point to ensure our day was perfect, and it was, PERFECT. I can't say enough about theses two or the beauty of the campus itself. The food was delicious, the space was the perfect size, the pomp and circumstance was much appreciated and overall it was just a great experience. My new husband and I would recommend this venue to everyone looking for great spot to enjoy their special day.
Our wedding far exceeded any expectations we had, simply amazing!
Nothing but the best things to say about vfma. If I needed it, it happened. If it went wrong, it was fixed. The type of customer service that just doesn't seem to exist anymore, kind courteous and professional. We couldn't have asked for anything more.
Words cannot express how perfect my wedding was, thanks to Valley Forge Military Academy- and more importantly- Brendan Davidson. He was our rock in the whole wedding planning process, any issues we had he was there to solve. I honestly did not have any stress during the grueling wedding planning process because Brendan took all worries away. People are still talking about our wedding and will for a long time, because the venue was stunning. A friend of mine had a wedding a few weeks after (at a different venue) and she had a ton of issues with scheduling... she looked at me and said "I need Brendan here". Choosing a venue is the #1 most important step in the whole process, so make sure you love the people that will be working towards making your day perfect. You will love Brendan and you will love Valley Forge Military Academy. It also helped that the cadets were AMAZING! They were dancing and entertaining the guests the whole time! Thank you beyond words for truly making me 150% satisfied!!!!!! We LOVE YOU!
The support that we received from Brendan while planning our wedding was absolutely amazing. Without the guidance and professionalism, our wedding would not have turned out as amazing as it did. I cannot write enough good things about Brendan and his staff. It was as if we received a wedding planner with our package. The facilities were absolutely beautiful and to this day people are still telling us how amazing our wedding was. If you are considering going with this venue, at a minimum give them a call and meet with them and I assure you that you will be blown away with their services.
Brendan and Jessica were amazing - friendly, easy to communicate with and effective. They made everything I wanted happen without issue and took care of every detail on the day of. The reception at Eisenhower hall was beautiful. All my guests loved the food that was served. Cadets in uniform served the appetizers during our cocktail hour - a very nice touch. I was able to bring all my own alcohol which is something that I was very interested in. Their bartenders were great. The servers were excellent and professional. There were no extra fees for table wine service or cake cutting, etc like I had come across at other venues. We were extremely happy with our experience at VFMA.
Such an amazing event. It went way better than I ever thought. It was our perfect wedding and a perfect day!!
Our wedding here was incredible! I'm so glad we found this venue to have our reception, we really could not have asked for a better place. The director of events, Brendan Davidson, was so easy to work with and made our day as easy and smooth as possible. The venue was big and gorgeous! We fit 150 people there with plenty of room to spare. I would definitely recommend Valley Forge Military Academy to anyone for any sort of events.
I held my wedding reception at VFMA's Mellon Hall on March 9 and would recommend it to any bride looking for a big venue with elegant flair! The campus was beautiful, the room is enormous and the staff could not have been more helpful. We wanted to bring in our own caterer and were able to do so in the space. Brendan is prompt and professional and willing to help with any detail. 5/5 for sure!


text: Stimulus May Pick Up More GOP Votes But not enough to be anything like bipartisan By Kevin Spak, Newser User Posted Feb 12, 2009 12:13 PM CST STORY COMMENTS (6) (Newser) – The passage of the stimulus is a done deal, but that doesn't mean the votes on the compromise measure won't be interesting. Democrats are hoping to bring more Republicans on board, reports Chris Cillizza of the Washington Post. All three GOP senators who backed the original Senate bill were alongside Harry Reid as he announced the compromise yesterday, but no other Republicans were in sight. Democratic operatives have their eyes on a number of Republicans who could flip, including senators Dick Lugar, George Voinovich, and Lisa Murkowski. In the House, which has postponed its vote until tomorrow, Fred Upton, Mike Castle, and Jim Gerlach might switch. But even with all those flips, "Obama will not even come close to getting the broad bipartisan support in either the House or Senate that he and his team had once hoped for," Cillizza observes. Sen.

In other related news, why are avocados so expensive? I get that they're delicious, buttery, fatty (in a healthy way!), pretty, and again, delicious.
No but really…
I sometimes put my pride on the side and I enlist the produce guy to help. He's always knows what's up. He picked the ones you see below. They were sort of unripe looking on the outside, slightly soft and totally perfect on the outside. He's good!
I went the traditional hummus route. There's a good dose of garlic in this, lemon flavor for days and an awesome tahini flavor. The avocado flavor is subtle, yet totally apparent.
Can we also just discuss how delicious tahini is?! I want to put it in everything right now.
2 garlic cloves
1 (15-ounce) can of garbanzo beans
1 lemon, zest and juice
2 tablespoon tahini
2 avocados
Olive Oil
1. Place garlic cloves, garbanzo beans, lemon zest and juice from the lemon and tahini in a food processor. Blend until smooth. Salt to taste.
2. Add two avocados and blend just until smooth. Salt to taste once more. Transfer to a bowl, pour a few tablespoons of olive oil on top, and sprinkle a few dashes of paprika. Serve with whatever you like, whether it be pita chips, warm slices of pita or crackers.

Cancer Health Center
'iKnife' Tells Surgeon Whether Tissue Is Cancerous
Capital equipment costs for the iKnife will be more than $380,000 per unit, said Jeremy Nicholson, a co-researcher of Takats' at Imperial College London.
However, the researchers contend that the iKnife ultimately could save money by allowing hospitals to downsize their pathology departments and by reducing staff time spent in surgery.
"The cost per patient will probably be quite small in comparison with the overall patient journey, and if the patient treatment is better with lower cancer recurrence then there is a very large saving to the health service," Nicholson said.
The next step in research will be clinical trials with the iKnife "where we are giving real-time feedback to the surgeon and they can make decisions based on that feedback," Takats said.
Takats estimates the new technology could be approved and available for use within two to three years.
Dr. Len Lichtenfeld, deputy chief medical officer for the American Cancer Society, called the science behind the iKnife "fascinating." But, he added that more research will be needed before it can be considered a sound investment for hospitals.
"The real question everybody's going to ask is can this be translated directly to clinical practice," Lichtenfeld said. "The answer is possibly, but there's a lot of work that has to be done before that happens, and it would have to demonstrate a clear benefit to the patient and the health-care system before it would happen. It's still quite a ways from actually showing up in an operating room at a local hospital."
Lichtenfeld pointed to robotic surgery technology meant to improve results for prostate cancer patients. Many hospitals purchased robots but the expected improvements have not panned out, he said.
"People are only now asking if they make enough of a difference to justify the cost of the robot," he said. "We can't get into that situation again. We need to have scientific research before we have widespread adoption of new technology."
