Qualitative Human Immunodeficiency Virus RNA Analysis of Dried
Blood Spots for Diagnosis of Infections in Infants?

The Gen-Probe Aptima human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) RNA assay was adapted for the
diagnosis of HIV infection in infants by using dried blood spots. The assay was 99% sensitive (128/129) and
100% specific (162/162). This may prove useful in resource-limited settings, since it precludes the need for a
phlebotomist and maintenance of a cold chain.
Diagnosis of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1)-
infected infants is essential for the evaluation of interventions
for the prevention of this transmission and for identifying in-
fants for initiation of therapy. Nucleic acid detection methods
are necessary for infant diagnosis due to the presence of ma-
ternal antibodies in the babies for up to 18 months after birth.
Dried blood spots (DBS) are an easy way to collect and ship
specimens for diagnostic testing of HIV and preclude the ne-
cessity of a phlebotomist and maintenance of the cold chain (2,
7). However, the limited volume of specimen (50 ?l) dried on
filter paper decreases the sensitivity of any assay. Current di-
agnostic methods that have been used on DBS include DNA
PCR (3, 14), the ultrasensitive p24 antigen assay (12), and viral
load (VL) testing (1, 4, 8). The lower limits of detection in
these RNA and DNA PCR detection methods were approxi-
mately 4,000 copies (cp)/ml (1, 4, 8, 14), likely due to the small
sample size of DBS.
The Gen-Probe Aptima HIV-1 RNA qualitative assay is
extremely sensitive for the detection of HIV in plasma (5). This
assay has been evaluated recently as being a more sensitive
screening tool for HIV-positive samples from a sexually trans-
mitted disease clinic than typical antibody testing followed by
pooled RNA testing (13). In addition, preliminary results from
our laboratory suggest that plasma specimens with VLs of ?20
cp/ml are detectable. Therefore, we evaluated this assay for use
with DBS from infants and children as a rapid and less-expen-
sive alternative to other assays for the diagnosis of HIV-1
infection in infants.
We formulated an elution buffer for the removal of blood
containing HIV from DBS (1 mM EDTA, 1 mM EGTA, 3%
lithium lauryl sulfate in phosphate-buffered saline). Optimiza-
tion of elution resulted in the following protocol: two 6-mm
circles were punched from each card and placed in a 2-ml
screw-top tube. The hole punch was cleaned between cards by
punching a clean Whatman 903 card twice. Elution buffer (525
?l) was added to each tube, and the specimens were rocked for
2 hours at room temperature. The specimens were spun down
for 30 s at 10,000 rpm in a microcentrifuge, and the filter paper
was removed from the tubes using disposable wooden appli-
cator sticks. The Aptima HIV-1 RNA qualitative assay was
performed according to the manufacturer's instructions, using
500 ?l of the eluate.
Initial experiments with DBS made from whole blood spiked
with known quantities of HIV-1 indicated that our limit of
detection was near 400 cp/ml, which seemed appropriate given
the small sample volume represented by two punches from a
single spot (approximately 10 ?l plasma). However, once we
began testing DBS collected from adults with low VLs, the
detection limit for the Aptima assay fell to 20 to 200 cp/ml (Fig.
1). The lower detection limit with patient DBS, compared to
the spiked level of DBS, may be explained by the contribution
of cellular HIV RNA and possibly proviral DNA from infected
cells in the blood, since all nucleic acid is included in the
Aptima assay (a lower limit of 4 cp/reaction was achieved by
Pasternak et al. [9] by using peripheral blood mononuclear
cells). The real-time reverse transcription-PCR assay devel-
oped by Ou et al. (8) also involved isolation of total nucleic
acid, which is likely why that assay was also very sensitive (a
lower limit of approximately 8 cp/reaction or 4,000 cp/ml).
Cellular RNA is not measured in plasma testing, so the level of
RNA may be higher in whole blood due to the infected cells.
In all, we tested 291 DBS from infants and children born to

HIV-1-infected mothers (Table 1). The samples had been col-
lected as part of the prevention of mother-to-child transmis-
sion studies in South Africa (subtype C) (10–12); Malawi (sub-
type C); Tanzania (HIVNET 024; subtypes A, C, and D) (6),
Vietnam (CRF 01_AE); Dominican Republic, Haiti, and Trin-
idad (subtype B); and North Carolina (subtype B). The spots
had been made from 50 ?l whole blood per spot on Whatman
903 cards with blood drawn by heel stick. The samples were
dried at room temperature, sealed individually in plastic bags
with desiccant pouches, and stored at 4°C (for Vietnam and
North Carolina infants) or room temperature prior to testing.
The spots were stored in our laboratory for between ?1 year
(North Carolina) and 3 to 5 years (HIVNET 024) prior to
testing for this study. HIV status for the samples had originally
been determined by NucliSens HIV-1 QT manual VL assay
(bioMe ´rieux; DBS from Dominican Republic, Haiti, Trinidad,
Malawi, and Tanzania), DNA PCR assay (Roche Amplicor
v1.5; DBS from South Africa), or an in-house HIV assay (DBS
from Vietnam). All samples had been collected with appropri-
ate Institutional Review Board approval for each country, and
the UNC IRB also approved the study.
The Aptima assay was very sensitive for infant diagnosis
using DBS. One hundred twenty-nine of the 291 samples had
previously tested positive, and 128 of the 129 were reactive on
the Aptima assay (99.2% sensitivity) (Table 1). The one false-
negative infant specimen had been stored for 4 years at room
temperature and had the lowest VL of the HIVNET 024 sam-
ples tested (10,954 cp/ml in May 2003). We have shown in a
separate study that these DBS lost an average of 1 log10in VL
over this length of time (J. A. E. Nelson, A. M. Loftis, D.
Kamwendo, W. W. Fawzi, T. E. Taha, R. L. Goldenberg, and
S. A. Fiscus, submitted for publication). The 162 samples that
had previously tested negative were all nonreactive on the
Aptima assay (100% specificity) (Table 1).
The results of the present study indicate that DBS can be
used in the Gen-Probe Aptima HIV-1 RNA qualitative assay
for infant diagnosis without the loss of sensitivity or specificity
achieved by currently used methods. In our laboratory, we have
found that the Aptima assay is less expensive than the Nucli-
Sens HIV-1 QT manual assay (bioMe ´rieux, Inc.) for DBS, with
increased sensitivity and less labor involved, making it a good
choice for infant diagnosis from DBS. In addition, this very
sensitive assay would be ideal for the diagnosis of acute HIV
infection via DBS.

Also, do you really need a pedal wrench?
I'm buying a used bike and am too broke to go also pay to have the pedals put on it. The person that I'm buying it from rides it every day, so I'm not even going to tune it up.
Putting pedals on isn't t something I can screw up, is it? It sounds pretty straightforward. Could I just use some vice pliers or and actual normal wrench to put the pedals on? Any special grease for the threads, or will any grease do? Perhaps just some WD-40? Plumber's tape?

I had such high "hopes" for this as it is such a cult product. However, I did not like it at all. I use mostly unscented products, so am used to not having makeup or lotions that smell like flowers or lovely things (hello clinique!), however, the scent of this made me feel ill as it was SO strong and lingered. It also lingered on my hands despite washing them multiple times. The best I can describe it is similar to hair dye in a salon. My eyes also started burning and tearing after I put it on my face, and I did NOT put the cream anywhere near my eyes! I had to flush them out. Not sure what caused this but haven't experienced that before... The consistency was strange (gel? cream? lotion?), but that isn't really an issue just something I wasn't expecting. Once the cream sank into my face (took about 30 min's) it felt lovely though. Shame about the burning eyes and scent :(.

No hope here. Bought a travel size container at Sephora. I didn't mind the Lavender scent but some might. After using it for several weeks I found no difference on skin texture. No clarity, brightness, smoothness, nothing. Ill only use it at night as my face is oily and my makeup will melt off if I use it as a day cream.

As much as I loved the way it smelled and felt, there are so many less expensive options that do the same thing, if not more. It smelled somewhat like lavender and was very calming and felt great, not too thick and not too greasy. As a cheaper alternative, I'd recommend Sephora brand Instant Moisturizer which doesn't smell as nice (it's unscented but I still smell a little goodness in it) but works just as well and is 20 for a large can, which lasts me a long time with daily use. The same size of Hope in a Jar would probably cost me 50 or more.

I'm very glad I bought this in a smaller size, because I didn't like it much. The smell wasn't that bothersome to me, though it wasn't fabulous either. My real issue was that I did not like the way it covered. It took a lot of the moisturizer to cover my entire face. It wasn't too harsh on my extremely sensitive and acne prone skin, but it didn't seem to help it either.
Overall, it wasn't worth the money and I'll be looking for something else. Try it though, you may like it. By somehow it's reeeeeally popular... so you might be in the majority!

I actually do like this moisturizer, but it isn't my favorite. The smell is nice, and so is the consistency. It's good-ish at hydrating. But this kinda sits on the surface of your skin and sometimes it rolls (balls up on your face). I also feel like I had to use a lot. On really humid days, this makes your skin look weird ( I don't know why). It's a pretty good moisturizer though, I kind of like it. I would recommend this to someone with mild to moderate sensitive skin.

Buyer beware!!! There is a notable difference between Hope in a Jar (original) and Hope in a Jar (high performance). The high performance formula is not as oily and smells similar but lighter than the original formula. I love the high performance. Hated the original.

I have a love hate relationship with this product as I have been using it off and on for the past 7 years. The consistency is great and it's a simple moisturizer. The smell doesn't bother me but I can see how it can irritate those sensitive to smell. I love what this does to my skin it makes it so luminous and young looking. However, there are some drawbacks it tends to be greasy which is why I can only use it at night, not a good morning moisturizer as it sit on this skin. It does a great job of moisturizing but I've noticed over the years my skin has become more irritated by it and I do believe it's because of a formula change. It's seems thinner and more chemically than in the past. The natural acids are what give your skin that amazing glow but it's also what make my skin burn and sting. I think I finally need to move on to a gentler moisturizer.

Quite a basic moisturizer. Skin around forehead and cheeks felt dry by midday (which is strange since I've got combination skin). Feel the Nivea Pure and Natural does a better job with less cost.

I'm not going to beat around the bush on this one - I really don't understand AT ALL how this moisturiser has developed such a cult status in the beauty world when it basically smells like something crawled into the pot, curled up and died! It's a truly awful smell and is entirely the reason why I will never use this moisturiser again. EVER!
It's difficult to describe just how unpleasant this smells, but for the purposes of this review I'll give it my best shot. To me this smells like a mixture of baby sick and rancid milk with a dash of lavendar essential oil, all mixed into a little jar which has then had the top firmly screwed on so the smell could mature. Like cheese. And the worst thing? Once it's on your skin it lingers. All day. I made the (huge) mistake of using this one morning and spent the rest of the day at work catching whiffs of it every time I moved, making me worried that my colleagues could also smell it and would wonder what was wrong with me!
Smell aside though, I saw no visible differences to my skin whilst using this. And given it's an award winning moisturiser I would have expected to see something. It's pricey too, coming in at 10GBP for a tiny 15ml before rocketing up to a whopping 34GBP for a 60ml jar. Luckily I got a trial size version as a freebie with some Philosophy shower gel, so didn't feel too bad when I stopped using it.
Ladies, PLEASE don't waste your money on this. Seriously, it's not worth it and your nostrils will thank you for it. There are other moisturisers out there that do just as a good a job, if not better and at a fraction of the price.

The Top of the MountainFriday, June 26, 2015
My favorite watering hole, the fountain at The Pleasance on South Main Street, is out of commission for a bit. The main stem has rusted out after these many years, and work is underway to repair it. I'm feeling mighty thirsty these hot summer days (yes, summer officially started on Sunday!) so hopefully, it won't be long before the fountain is bubbling over again.
The Top of the MountainFriday, March 20, 2015
Due to an expected winter storm, the Friday evening performance of City of Angels, at Newtown High School, has been canceled. Pre-purchased tickets can be used at any of the other performances this weekend.
The Top of the MountainFriday, May 16, 2014
My back arched and my tail stood up straight last week when I heard about two acts of vandalism at Sandy Ground playgrounds, built in the tri-state area to honor each woman and child killed on 12/14. In another show of love winning over evil, however, both senseless acts have been turned on their head. Nelba Marquez-Greene has said that she would like to have a message board installed at the playground in Hartford honoring her daughter, Ana Marquez-Greene.
Help For Oklahoma's Dogs And CatsFriday, May 31, 2013
For those who are concerned about the welfare of the pets affected by last week's tornado that laid low the town of Moore, Okla. and surrounding area, Reed Intermediate School student Aubrey Christensen is coming to the rescue.
Aubrey and her mother, Nicole, have set up collection boxes at Your Healthy Pet, 224 South Main Street, and at the Parks and Recreation office, Town Hall South, Main Street, for donations of pet food, cat litter, and leashes.

Great quarter report. Keith Hill is VERY ENCOURAGED by the results of the first 2 wells! I think we were right. Twiga South may indeed hold a ton of oil, just as Ngamia did, and thats why it is taking so long. Should Twiga North really be next to be drilled then Twiga South must be massive. Its possible AOI could have huge results from Twiga South and Ngamia, encountered oil at Paipai, spudded Twiga North and Sabisa, announced commercial development in Kenya, announced a new fully carried JV in Puntland, announced first well location to be drilled in Nugal, and raised $300 million at $30 a share by Christmas!!!!

Nook Bali
Our local
What we say:
Nook is a cute little warung that opened up a few months ago in Umalas, just north of Seminyak, serving excellent Indonesian food as well as a few Western options, in basic but stylishly simple surrounds. Overlooking a patch of paddy that can't last for much longer as the developers move in, it's a pretty spot within easy striking distance of busier Seminyak.
The restaurant is open to the paddy, with floaty curtains and repurposed white baskets for light fittings. Green cushions, whitewashed tables and chairs and polished cement banquettes make for a relaxed vibe that's a distinct step up from your usual roadside warung.
The menu is warung at its heart, but with lots of extra trimmings — the owners are German/Balinese, the waiter told us, and this is reflected in broad-ranging offerings.
We've repeatedly had the very good nasi campur special — coconut beef, chicken, tofu, tempeh, egg, anchovies, satay, veggies and more (37,000 rupiah — nicely, prices on the menu are what you actually pay) and just today tried the nasi campur Bali, which was also an interesting combination of flavours and textures. A vegan version is available for 30,000.
Curries include rendang, chicken, mixed seafood and so on… and a range of Indonesian favourites like ayam kecap Inggris are also available.
We'd feel quite comfortable bringing pals keener on Western fare — and fussy kids — thanks to a menu that stretches to fancier dishes like strawberry and feta salad (37,000 rupiah ), grilled chicken salad with cashew nuts and strawberries (49,000), and wedges with sour cream (25,000). There are a few sambos on the menu, plus pastas (mostly around 45,000).
A grill sizzles up prawns, seafood kebabs, snapper, sole, barracuda and so on as well as imported steaks while on Sundays fresh oysters are shucked to order — 18,000 each. We just saw this on the recently updated menu today, and as we live about 30 metres away, we'll be checking them out very soon…
Desserts include ice cream, crepes, banana splits and fruits — nothing too imaginative but it'll feed a post-nasi campur sweet craving.
Booze is affordable here — La Plaga by the glass is 55,000, a small Bintang is 23,000, a gin and tonic 55,000. The lime squash (20,000 rupiah) was a little on the small side. You can practically wave toward the people paying more at Sardine across the way.
Nook is the latest in a series of new restaurants that have opened recently on Umalas 1. While nearby Habitual is great for burgers, Warung Hotei is solid for Thai, Vietnamese and Cambodian dishes, Nook is where you should come for an Indonesian fix — if you're staying in the Petitenget/Batu Belig area (such as at Brown Feather) it's worth coming over for.Nook Bali

Daley and Gayles spoke about the need to make the department more efficient at a City Hall press conference today announcing Gayles' appointment.
"Montel is well-qualified to take on these challenges. In all his management positions, he has developed policies and procedures that have improved efficiency," Daley added.
Since July 2004, Gayles, 47, served as executive director of the Public Building Commission. There he directed planning, design and construction of more than $1.5 billion in public works projects for the city. As head of the PBC, Gayles saved the agency $2.5 million by reducing staff and outsourcing construction management responsibilities, according to a press release.
Gayles served as chief of staff at the Chicago Housing Authority from 2000 to 2004, where his responsibilities included procurement, as well as administration of the authority's $1.5 billion Plan for Transformation. Prior to that position, he served as deputy commissioner of the City of Chicago Department of Buildings.
The Department of Procurement Services provides support for 44 city departments and oversees the purchase of more than $2 billion annually in goods and services. It manages the city's Women and Minority Business Enterprise program (MBE), which has come under criticism in the last two years for the slowness with which minority businesses are certified.
In October, a group of black aldermen proposed privatizing the certification process and possibly the entire procurement department after it was revealed that only 8% of city-awarded contracts went to African Americans in 2007.
Daley stated that Chicago has led the way nationally in ensuring participation for women and minority contractors, but he also acknowledged the frustrations of critics of the MBE program.
"We must and we can do better, and in my conversations with Montel, I have told him how critical it is for us to keep moving forward in that area," said Daley.
Daley said he has asked the procurement services department to consider outsourcing the certification of businesses. Gayles will be looking at whether the certification process is too stringent, said the mayor.
"I assure you that I am committed to improving opportunities for minority and women owned businesses and to streamline processes in order to ensure that contracts are awarded in a fair and efficient manner," said Gayles.
Also at the press conference, the mayor continued to urge the
governor and legislators in Springfield to produce a long-term
funding solution for the state's mass transit system.
Gov. Rod Blagojevich called a special session of the General
Assembly to address the transit crisis. On Jan. 20 deep cuts in service
and fare hikes CTA riders take effect if funds are not located before then.
Daley rejected a suggestion Blagojevich made recently that the city might draw on some of the windfall from the lease of the Chicago Skyway to bolster mass transit.
"You don't take sales from your assets and use them for your budget," said Daley. "You only use them for infrastructure...that's only a stop gap measure."
Daley suggested that the governor consider privatizing the Illinois toll road.
"You can go and lease the toll road for billions of dollars," said Daley. "We'd like to work with them [the state] on using state assets. It's a state responsibility."
Daley also thanked the CTA unions for calling off a planned job action in late December and for extending their current contract, which includes concessions on pensions and healthcare, until Jan. 20.

Hands down, my favorite HG nude lippie. The perfect one.
Dipping your fingers into the world of nude lipsticks can be tricky. You just have to find THAT ONE that works best for you. The Mac Nudes can be very overwhelming to choose from because there are plenty of shades and finishes to choose from, depending on your skintone and the pigmentation of your lips. I have 2 other nude lipsticks and they were a nightmare, and because of that experience I am not willing to spend a lot on trial and error.
Bare-it-all is a rosy beige nude. This is the one I was looking for all my life. It's opaque, semi-matte, doesn't cake, and heaven to apply. I think many love this one because it's just the right balance of beige to flatter many skintones. I got this one for just PhP110. For a drugstore brand this is cheap, but very quality-wise. If you're looking for a fair-medium skintone kind of nude, this is the one. Very universal shade.

I'm NC15 with a very light natural lip colour, and I was really bummed that this lipstick pulled so orange-brown on me.
The formula is great - its a tiny bit dry but I find this helps it last. Make sure you prep lips well or it will slightly accentuate dry areas.
I think this would look gorgeous on people with a darker complexion - don't fork out the cash to buy Velvet Teddy, this is a great dupe!

It costs me less than USD 6 (around IDR 55k) and I was pretty excited to try it on since I read everywhere that this shade is perfect. Turns out it looks too nude for me, its almost like i don't wear any lipstick on. I'm disappointed, I was expecting it to look like the kind of shade Kylie Jenner likes to wear (brown-ish pink).

This is a lovely pinkish-brown nude shade. Yes, it is a pretty close dupe (just a hair lighter) to MAC Velvet Teddy. I am NW15, and this has just enough color to be a "my lips but better" shade, perfect for everyday. On deeper skin tones, however, this may appear too nude & washed out. The formula is creamy enough during application, but I do recommend applying this over a waxy balm for added moisture. It applies creamy & smooth, and then seems to "dry down" to a matte finish after a while (similar to how Besame lipsticks feel). As with all matte, longwear lipsticks, it can be drying. If your lips are dry, this will exacerbate that, and it will emphasize dry patches. It is not as dry as MAC mattes. It is long-wearing - comparable in formula, feel & wear to Estee Lauder Double Wear or Besame lipsticks. I can apply this in the morning before work, and by lunchtime - several cups of coffee & oatmeal/granola bar later - I still have some color on my lips. The packaging isn't anything special - a black plastic bullet with a (cheap) clear plastic lid. But, for $2 you really cannot go wrong with these. I would recommend trying these lipsticks, and I will probably purchase other colors.

Yes gals it's a dupe for Macs velvet teddy and a whole lot cheaper. The mac finish is better ,more smooth tho'. Its nude on me and gorg!!! I love it. I line with Mac's spice just to get that Kylie Jen lip color feel. Voila!! Super nice ...it does drag when applied unlike velvet teddy. But for a drugstore price I'm not complaining. If you're all hyped up abt kylie's pout but don't wanna splurge, I'd say get this

So mad that I stumbled upon this lipstick on my own while shopping at the store and came home and realized that this is the EXACT dupe for Mac's Velvet Teddy (which I happened to have purchased not too long before this discovery, ugh).
Unfortunately, my specific tube broke in half but I'm doing my best with using it. It's so perfect and for such a small price too!
Obviously, this doesn't hold up as well as the Mac lipsticks, but it does it's job with pigmentation and stays on pretty well for a drugstore product! Definitely glides on a lot smoother than Velvet Teddy though in my experience. I only use this whenever I'm gonna be out for a bit and don't feel like using my $16 Mac tube ;-)
Will repurchase this color again when I'm all out as well as other colors from this line - I'm obsessed!
Age: 36-43
Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Black, Other, Other
Eyes: Hazel
My new favorite lipstick! I don't swipe it on my lips-I use the tube and pat it on and then either leave it alone or sometimes I put gloss over it. I like that it's matte-ish so you can keep it that way or add your own shine. It really is a very flattering color and the lipstick is really pigmented. Since I just pat it on this tube will last a long time but I will def repurchase! Wet 'n' Wild makes great stuff!

Hardin Valley shuts down Maryville, 2-0
Defending state champions blank Maryville behind goalie, 2-0
There was no doubt that Hardin Valley Academy goalie Ivan Torres earned his shutout Tuesday night against Maryville in the Region 2-AAA soccer semifinals.
There was also no question that Torres and the Hawks were on the receiving end of a couple of fortuitous bounces as they held off the Rebels 2-0 at Hardin Valley.
Hawks coach Mike McLean gladly accepted the good fortune to go along with the stellar play of Torres, who made several diving saves in goal.
"We were on our heels the last 15 minutes," said McLean, who added that it was "absolutely" Torres' best game in goal of the season.
"They (Maryville) hit the crossbar and the post a couple of times — we got lucky."
The elimination game victory keeps the Hawks' quest to repeat as state Class AAA champions alive.
Hardin Valley (11-5-2) visits Bearden (14-3-5) at 7 p.m. Thursday in the region championship game.
The Bulldogs topped Karns 5-1 in their semifinal game Tuesday.
Win or lose Thursday, Hardin Valley and Bearden advance to Saturday's sectionals against Region 1 opponents with trips to the state tournament in Murfreesboro next week at stake.
The Hawks struck quickly against Maryville (11-9-1).
Zach Webb's rainbow kick from just inside the midfield line with less than four minutes gone in the first half somehow found its way in the
left corner of the Maryville net.
The Hawks made it 2-0 in the 23rd minute when Brandon Roy scored on a rebound in front of the net.
The rest of the game included several near misses by Maryville, and especially high-scoring Rebels forward Caleb Lucas.
Torres made a diving deflection of a shot by Lucas with less than two minutes to go in the first half.
Lucas also hit the crossbar on a shot with 23 minutes remaining, and then clipped the left post on a strike with six minutes to play.
Torres, who hit his head on a nasty spill with less than two minutes to play, said the game was perhaps the most intense of the year.
"It was probably the hardest game of the season," said Torres.
"It was very satisfying. I'm very happy with the shutout."
McClean said it was an impressive performance by Torres, who was a forward on the junior varsity team before an injury forced his move to keeper at midseason.
"He's just getting better and better," said McLean.

Remember Me
Alex's broad-but-never-bombastic voice is the first thing that strikes the ear, calling to mind Jeff Tweedy, or maybe even the kind of vocalist Conor Oberst might grow up into (if Oberst cared to grow up). Just beneath the spare, plaintive vocals lies Alex's sunny Hendrix and SRV-inspired guitar riffs, creating a bittersweet pastiche that evokes Beck's "Sea Change" period. Not gratuitously, he seamlessly adds in some phrasing nods to the Beatles and The Arcade Fire that serve to add to the tension between traditional and modern sounds.
At heart, though, Alex is a songwriter. Snatches of Leonard Cohen and Elliott Smith glaze over the classic-rock easiness of the finished track with a lived-in darkness, more comfortable than melancholy. Even when it rocks, this is music you'll want to curl up into. The ever-changing speed and intensity breaks up the set, engages the audience and avoids the constant-tempo-as-signature-style pitfall.
Alex Vans and his friends work a prolific tour schedule to make sure there's always a chance to find something else in his music that you hadn't heard before.

I purchased 2 bottles of So Pink. The price was exceptional. I love this fragrance because of the citrus notes. I can't understand why the Gap discontinued this perfume. Glad I found it again.

Around Springfield, Saint Louis
4 Reviews
4 Reviews
Also in Springfield,another good idea is visit this megastore Bass Pro.Has everything for Fishing,Hunting and Outdoor Gear.Is huge,has two floors and is one of largest in all country.
This is a picture taken inside the store.
Fantastic Caverns are located in a Forest.If you have time enough can walk along the forest,it is the perfect place for birdwatching and also to see other wildlife in the area.
This is a picture taken just around the cave,in the forest and also you can see a small river on it.
Not far from St. Louis,in Springfield another interesting place to see are :
Fantastic Caverns- America's Ride-Through Cave - is a family owned business. It was discovered in 1862 by a farmer - or more precisely, by his dog, who crawled through an entrance. It wasn't until five years later that the first exploration took place: 12 women from Springfield, answering a newspaper ad seeking explorers, ventured into the cave. Their names remain on a cave wall today.
Because the beauty of Fantastic Caverns is vulnerable, the Cave is toured in jeep-drawn trams. Since you ride all of the way through, you experience the magnitude, the stillness, and the splendor of Fantastic Caverns while preserving its natural features.
This is a picture taken inside this beautiful cave.
This is a picture taken at main entrance at Bass Pro.My friends and me during our visit to Springfield.If you like fishing and hunting this is your store!! :-)

Can anyone recommend a fantastic (large) map of Italy that I could purchase and put on my wall?
My roots go back to:
Pizzoni/Catanzaro(Vibo Valentia)/Catanzaro/Italy
Quartiere San Ferdinando/Naples/Campania/Italy
So details of these communes on the map would be great to have.

my family and i are going through a tough time. last week everything was great, i took that for granted. our life became a nightmare overnight, in the blink of an eye. my son got into some prescription medication when he went plundering in my mom's suitcase amongst us moving into a new house. because if that, child protection services got involved and is now conducting an investigation for the next 45 days. that's not all...
some of you may remember me posting about my dad. my little brother started up some stuff accusing my dad to be a sex offender. that case is still ongoing. because if this, the CPS is starting to get on me about it. the case worker was supposed to come out yesterday to inspect our house but being my son just got home from the hospital, she said we would do it today. i called her when i got home from work and she brought up my dad's case. said there is a problem because of it. she started questioning me all about it and i had to keep repeating myself cause she claimed she couldn't hear me, so in all this i was getting upset (nevermind the fact i'm 39 weeks pregnant and emotional). i was explaining to her it was all a set up done by my brother since my parents would not emancipate him, he did this to have a way to move out with his friends. she was saying because of my dad being charged with this, even though he has not been convicted, he cannot be a caretaker (my parents watch my son while my husband and i work) and asked if it would be a problem. of course i'm going to do whatever i need to do to be able to keep my son, even if that means not allowing my father to watch him alone. but because i told her this is all a huge misunderstanding because of my brother, she said she would talk to upper management and see if it could be waived. she said she would call me back and let me know what they said. not even 5 minutes later, she calls and said she will tell me what was said when she comes over. WTF why can't she tell me over the phone? she wanted to interrogate all this shit over the phone but can't say what she said she would tell me??
that part scares me. she asked how late was too late for her to come out tonight, i told her i didn't care what time. i don't care how late. i just need this to be done. it's now 1140 at night and i have not heard from her.
i have a feeling they are going to tell me we can no longer stay with my parents because of this. if that happens, i have nowhere to go but to south florida to DH's mom's house. about 8 hours away. i have no family and no friends here i can lean on in this time of need. i've lost everybody for many different reasons (racist against my black husband and mixed kids, brother doing this to our family, religious reasons tore some of us apart, etc).
i have never done anything to hurt my son. i didn't give him prescription meds, he's 2 he gets into things, it was an honest mistake that could have happened to anyone. my dad is not a child molester, i do not put my son in any kind of danger when he is around. i have done nothing wrong. why am i having to go through this??
they have completely ruined this pregnancy for me too. i should be overly excited right now i have less than a week till my new baby will be here! scheduled induction on wednesday, the day before my due date. i'm 4 cm dilated. it can happen at ANY moment. but i am dreading it. i'm dreading bringing another child into this world at this horrible time. i want to keep him in me for 45 days until this mess is OVER. how can i be happy about this?
i am not a religious person. after the falling out with my previous church, i completely dropped religion. but i tell you now, i am PRAYING for strength. i can't hold up much longer, i can feel myself breaking. how did all of this happen?
so, please, hug them babies of yours. i know i can't stand to put my baby down. i am terrified of what will happen. even though i have done nothing, you never know what will happen. anything can happen in a split second...
sorry for rambling on for so long, i needed to get all that out. and thank you for reading, and thoughts and prayers would be very much appreciated.
and for the ones who do remember my post about my dad, i did decide to go ahead and testify for him. and do everything possible to prove his innocence. i go to court for him in february.

Rihanna Bikini Photograph
cris brown and rihanna will more likley have another blow up ....................................@diesel1russian {gedofy sparcoughf)cell#1-778-709-1793
ella es una artista muy bella y sexi,
she is a arts very beatiful and sex
I was in Walmart a cpoule months back, and some lady over heard me talking to my cousin about paying 30 bucks for cellulite reducing cream. And she told me to take a hot bath once a week filled with 50 to 100 tea bags. (All natural)… Caffeine in the tea tightens your skin. And reduces the bumpy look. I've done this evey week for 3 months and my cellulite is practically gone besides a few but its way better then before. After I take the hot bath I rub regular lotion on my thighs and legs and its been working pretty well. Plus the tea gives your skin a fake like tan but more of a bronze and it looks beautiful… hope this helps!

DivX launches Stage6 video upload site
updated 05:00 pm EST, Thu November 30, 2006
DivX launches Stage6
DivX has released Stage6, a video upload service designed to compete with current popular sites such as YouTube. While a number of sites already support the DivX namesake codec, Stage6 keeps uploads intact rather than downgrading them to Flash or another video format, according to Electronista. Users have the option of integrating DRM into work to secure videos from copying outside of initial browser downloads. The company hopes to offer movies as well as TV shows on a download-to-own basis as a long-term strategy, but has thus far published no major partners. Additionally, Apple recently secured a critical patent that may enable the Cupertino-based company to collect royalties from all music and video download sites, which would hamper efforts by companies such as DivX.

Hello Everyone,
This is my first post but I've been lurking for a while. I wanted to let everyone know that KHS has updated the Milano. The picutre on the website is now outdated. My wife and I just picked up our first tandem on Friday. The new Milano has a silver and grey paint sceme, the fork now has disc brake tabs, the front hub is disc brake ready, the front derailer is now Tiagra (not sora), it now has a Kalloy SP-380 rear seat post, those are about the only differences I could detect. Best part is that the price is still the same as what is on the web site. It still only comes in the two sizes, we ordered the small size and it weighed in at 40 lbs (my scale is only +- .5 lbs). There is no noticable frame flex with our 355 lbs. team. Anyway we are extremely happy with our purchase. I believe it the best value for an entry level tandem in the US. Its no Cannondale or CoMotion, but for a sub $2000 tandem its a pretty good bike.

PlayStation Now Announced (PS1/2/3 streaming)

Re: PlayStation Now Announced (PS1/2/3 streaming)
It all depends on the latency.. both of your internet connection and the Sony machine that processes the game and sends the signal to you.
For some games a small lag is not that big of a problem but games like action shooters or beat em ups live and die by lag so for some they may become unplayable as a streaming game.
Personally i'm very interested in this service and apart from the PS4 itself was one of the other major factors that decided which console i'd buy. It's a genius move by Sony to establish such a service since the machine can't be backwards compatible for hardware reasons. The PS4 will have its shiny, graphics intense modern games but some PS3 or even older games live by the story they tell or their unique gameplay and that is mostly not related to state of the art graphics.
Now the only thing that would sour that deal is if Sony decides to rip off its customers.

CAMDEN, N.J. Campbell's newest ad launched today in the New York Times for its Select Harvest healthy line of soups, takes aim directly at General Mills' Progresso soup line.
Campbell, a leader in canned soups in the United States and markets abroad, created the ad which frames a can of Progresso soup right next to can of Campbell's Select Harvest. A caption over the can of Progresso reads, "Made With MSG," meanwhile a photo of Select Harvest runs under the heading, "Made With TLC."
The campaign comes in response to the success of the launch of Progresso Light soups, which hit shelves last year and were immediately given a stamp of approval by Weight Watchers.
Progresso's ad company Saatchi & Saatchi of New York, has been working on reaching the male consumer with its TV ads which tout Progresso Light as "What a light soup should be."

Dear Poll: Will You See a Movie Just For the Eye Candy?
by DearSugar
Like us on Facebook
If you haven't checked out the hot pictures from the LA premiere of Stop-Loss you really must. The serious man candy attached to this film has my interest piqued big time! Of course, I enjoy an Oscar-worthy film as much as the next movie buff, but I also like a movie just for the sheer entertainment of it. There's nothing quite as entertaining as perfect biceps and chiseled chins, and this one is supposedly heart wrenching, too! Let's find out if you agree. Do you ever watch a movie just to check out the hotties?

yes. I did when i liked ryan reynolds. now i like dominic cooper, but his movies are actually good.
lady-woods-03 7 years
Yes Definitely and though I think this movie probablyl will be pretty good I must admit I'm really going to see it bc I want to see Ryan's Sexy @$$......I will also see a Denzel or Johnny Depp movie for eye candy as well.

kh61582...I wouldn't say anti-war automatically equals coward. I think there is something to be said for a hot man who would rather resolve a problem in a meaningful way than through violence...so this movie is seeming even better now! mmm...hot, intelligent men! Yes please!
kh61582 7 years
I can appreciate a hot actor but this movie is anti-war and men that are cowards are kind of a turn off.
fashionista119 7 years
Yep, I'll see every movie Gerry Butler is in whether the story interests me or not simply to see his hotness
pink_magnetism 7 years
I usually prefer to see movies I'm interested in plotwise( and hot guys are a bonus) but I will admit I have seen some movies purely for the eye candy (Troy comes to mind)
emalove 7 years
No. I LOVE movies, but I'm actually pretty picky about which movies I watch. The plot has to have some substance...I can't stand predictable, unrealistic movies. I hate "chick flicks". I like something that will keep me guessing or get me thinking. I love when I connect with a plot or a character and I get lost in the movie.
littlemissme 7 years
Generally no, but is HAS happened...I saw "Lords of Dogtown" because of Heath (the actual movie turned out to be reason enough though!)...and of course Troy :INNOCENT: :rotfl:
inertia 7 years
Most of the movies I watch are for the eye candy, but it's not hot guys I'm looking for. I want to see extravagant sets and amazing costumes. If a movie isn't visually interesting, I'd rather read a book.

No. Sorry, the plot synopsis must be strong in order for me to give any movie the time of day. Otherwise, I lose all interest.

I have to be engaged mentally in some way before I'm interested, so I can't say I've ever paid attention to anything just for male eye candy. My biggest erogenous zone is my mind. ;)

I rarely see movies. I have seen previews where I'm like, "JAKE GYLLENHAAL -- MUST SEE," but then I just don't make it to the theater.

Ok, I've seen every Fast and the Furious. No, plot. No acting involved, just hot cars, and hot boys.

One of my sisters and I went to see Step Up in theatres JUST to see Channing Tatum....thinking there HAS to be at least one scene where he takes off his shirt because he is so hot and sweaty from dancing up a storm. Sadly, no. Not one topless scene. We were extremely dissapointed!

That was the only reason I saw Step Up (mmm Channing Tatum!!) but I actually ended up liking it. Unless Stop-Loss gets completely PANNED by the critics, I'm definitely seeing it!

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (AP) -- More David Crockett High School students have been released from a Johnson City hospital, following a school bus rollover last week.
The Johnson City Press reported just four students were still under hospital care Sunday evening.
A total of 26 students and their bus driver were taken to hospitals Thursday afternoon after a Washington County school bus ran off a road and rolled at least three times down a grade.
Cheyenne Bunton's father said his 16-year-old daughter is doing a lot better as she recovers from fractured vertebrae and a head abrasion. Cheyenne was airlifted to Johnson City Medical Center after the crash because of the severity of her injuries.
All four of the students still in the hospital are in stable condition.

By Brian email@example.com During the most frustrating moments of the Lady Cardinals' Final Four loss to Fayette County last Wednesday, the physical signs of emotion during Jonesboro's valiant comeback often came from sophomore Kayla Dowdell. When a referees' call or inopportune turnover exacerbated Jonesboro's dire circumstances, Dowdell crouched and slammed the court in a visceral response. When the Lady Cardinals trailed by 16 points at halftime, Dowdell, not Jonesboro's core of four seniors, asserted herself in the locker room. Dowdell will be one of six returning players Jonesboro coach Jimmy Fields will count on next season to fulfill expectations now defined by the Lady Cardinals' most successful season in school history. They will fill the void left when Drameka Griggs, Joi Holyfield, Chanee Key and Sharmesia Smith graduate, who combined to score 34 of Jonesboro's 41points against Fayette County. But to have experienced the magnitude of the Final Four, and come two points from the state championship game, could prove invaluable for the returning group. "It helps them for next year," Fields said. "They know what it takes to get there. They know what we've got to do. If they want to get back, they know the things we need to work on, and they'll be hungry for it." Jonesboro's most obvious task is adjusting to the loss of Griggs and Holyfield, two speedy guards that entered the discussion of the best backcourt tandem in the state. Their speed dictated the tempo of the game, for as long as they were forcing turnovers, few teams could match the pace of Jonesboro's transition offense. Fields acknowledged next year's potential roster is not as fast, which might require less of the full-court press that became Jonesboro's hallmark this season. "We're going to have to adjust a lot unless we get quicker," Fields said. "We're going to have to adjust because we were based on a lot of speed. We're going to have to adjust our philosophy on defense. We might not press so mhow we do this summer as far as looking at what kids are going to be stepping up." The core of those returning includes Dowdell, Laquinta Gallashaw, Jasmine Manning, Kierya Dennis, Angenay Williams and Jennifer Evans. Gallashaw's role on the team will change most drastically, Fields said. Fields counted on her defensive intensity to disrupt opponents' top scoring threat and invigorate her teammates' defensive effort. Fields hopes she can shoulder a greater load on offense next season, envisioning Gallashaw moving from small forward to point guard. "Hopefully," Fields said, "she can give us a little more scoring to go along with her defense." Dennis played sparingly in a back-up role at guard this season, but she should play a more prominent part for Jonesboro, though her style contrasts that of Griggs and Holyfield's. While Griggs and Holyfield thrived at driving to the basket, Dennis primarily strikes from outside. "We're going to have to set a lot of screens to get her open," Fields said. "Her strength is not driving to the basket. Her strength is her outside shot." Jonesboro's strengths next season are still a mystery just days after a heart-wrenching loss. Those will start to be identified when the school year ends, when a new complexion of players assembles for summer practices and camps and a new team begins to emerge. "The next season started the night after we lost," Fields said. "We're getting ready. I'm excited about next season. The girls are pumped up about it. This summer, we're going to get in there and work hard and try to keep this thing going."uch. It all depends. It also depends on

So theres like cupple of months, i pre-ordered advanced warfare. Then when i applied (sorry for my bad english) the redeem code. I played with the camo a lot on bO2 and Ghosts. one day i wanted to play ghosts and i just created a new class and i couldnt find the camo in all my camos. I went in bo2 and the camo was still there.. any help?
Hi there! Make sure that you're console account is still link to the COD account that originally redeemed the Advanced Warfare code. You can try to unlink and relink your account to be sure.
What do you mean by link? Im still on the same, because i have the camo on bo2 but not on ghosts.. :\
I'm referring to your Call of Duty account. That account is both for Black Ops 2 and Ghosts. To redeem the Advanced Warfare Code, you are asked to log in to the Call of Duty website. You can check in your profile under Consoles if your console account is linked to your COD account.
