Expression of most plastid genes involves multiple post-transcriptional processing events, such as splicing, editing, and intercistronic processing. The latter involves the formation of mono-, di-, and multicistronic transcripts, which can further be regulated by differential stability and expression. The plastid pentacistronic psbB transcription unit has been well characterized in vascular plants. It encodes the subunits CP47 (psbB), T (psbT), and H (psbH) of photosystem II as well as cytochrome b 6 (petB) and subunit IV (petD) of the cytochrome b 6 f complex. Each of the petB and petD genes contains a group II intron, which is spliced during post-transcriptional modification. The small subunit of photosystem II, PsbN, is encoded in the intercistronic region between psbH and psbT but is transcribed in the opposite direction. Expression of the psbB gene cluster necessitates different processing events along with numerous newly evolved specificity factors conferring stability to many of the processed RNA transcripts, and thus exemplarily shows the complexity of RNA metabolism in the chloroplast.

You can't make up these stories. The other day I told you about two students who posed waving Confederate flags on the Gettysburg battlefield, along with a comment about purchasing slaves.
Yesterday a news story out of Colorado showed a group of students posing with guns and a Confederate flag as part of their prom celebrations.
Finally, we have the Maclay School in Florida, which decided to take their students deeper into the history of the Civil War with a reenactment that included the Confederate flag. Following a parent complaint about the flag, the school's headmaster offered the following.
Maclay's teachers are constantly seeking ways to deepen our students' understanding of history. Project based simulations or hands on exercises are one way we help the students understand what history was truly like through experience and discussion. Our Civil War class this semester involved a reenactment of a battle complete with uniforms, flags, Nerf guns and in-depth discussions.
I do hope you weren't drinking anything when reading that passage. Continue reading "Mamas, Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Neo-Confederates"

A great hike from the Johnston Ridge Observatory, across the pumice planes in the devastated area destroyed in the 1980 eruption, and ... more »part of the way up the mountain to beautiful Loowit Falls.
Mt. St. Helens is in Washington State. It's about sixty miles off highway five about 70 miles from Porland and about a hundred and fifty miles south of Seattle. It can be reached from the south, the west, and the northwest sides. Once a 9,700 ft cone-shaped stratovolcano, Mt. St. Helens erupted in 1980 sending an ash cloud thousands of feet high. the explosion blew off the top and north side of the mountain, and devastated the forests for miles. The mountain is now a national monument and a research site on the re-emergence of a forest from complete annihilation. Thirty years later, moss covers the ground as far as the eye can see, wildflowers bloom as tiny streams weave their way across the plains, and tiny trees and bushes sprout up from the soil in a reminder to us all that life will find a way.
The hike to Loowit Falls is an all day hike, 8.5 miles one way! Get started early and bring a headlamp just in case you get back during the evening. less «

Hungary's Turbulent Transformation to Capitalism: Corruption, Mismanagement Exemplify "New" Europe's Challenges
Csath, Magdolna, The Futurist
Hungary is a country of 10 million mostly frustrated and pessimistic people, who no longer believe that the post-communism transformation begun in 1990 has brought genuine change. They are equally skeptical about the possibilities of any positive developments from Hungary's membership in the European Union. These feelings are fostered by their everyday experiences. A general sentiment is that the system change only means that those who once had been devoted followers of Karl Marx have transformed themselves into neoliberal capitalists and kept all the capital for themselves.
In Hungary's transformation to capitalism, changes have been imposed on the people, who pay the price in job losses, high unemployment, lack of opportunities to live a decent life, poverty, and a growing gap between the new rich and the many poor. Hungarians are very cynical about the argument that, in spite of all the problems, they at least have democracy and a functioning market economy. The average citizen feels otherwise, thanks to the ways the "transformation" has been managed.
Hungarians who dare to voice opinions different from those of the "rulers" are still silenced, threatened, or economically ruined. The majority of the media speaks with one voice, which is the voice of the government leaders. No questions are allowed to be asked. Hungary's election into the European Union is a typical example. Those who opposed or merely questioned Hungary's proposed membership were excluded from the campaign, silenced; they received neither money nor media time to express their doubts. This should have been a warning sign about the status of democracy in Hungary. The result of the referendum was that actually fewer than 40% of the potential voters were in favor; the others rejected EU membership or simply did not vote.
Corruption vs. Democracy
Corruption is alive and growing. Hungary ranked just 33rd on Transparency International's 2002 Corruption Perception index, tied with Malaysia and Trinidad and Tobago. (Finland was "least corrupt"; Bangladesh placed at the bottom of the list.) In 2003, Hungary slipped back to the 40th position. Now, Kuwait, Estonia, Bahrain, Oman, and Botswana are considered less corrupt than Hungary is. Corruption and democracy do not go hand in hand, and corruption is a poor vehicle for developing a functioning market economy.
The economy in Hungary has shifted from a few large socialist enterprises subsidized by the government at the expense of the population to a few huge global companies subsidized by the government at the expense of the population. These subsidies include tax holidays, cheap (sometimes free) land offered to foreign businesses, and wages that are kept low so new enterprises can be established in a low-cost location. Companies also typically force the government to devalue the national currency by arguing that it will help increase economic competitiveness. But an undervalued national currency has never made an economy more competitive; rather, it only helps exporters make more money. About 80% of Hungary's exports are produced by a few large foreign companies. Hungary cannot be described as a functioning market economy when the big players receive significant subsidies while the rest get none. This distorted market situation is unfair and uncompetitive.
Another defect of Hungary's "new" economy is that foreign investment is largely in low value-added "screwdriver" operations--plants requiring diligent, disciplined line workers rather than creative, original thinkers. More than half of Hungary's working population works in these screwdriver operations and have no opportunity to become independent entrepreneurs and new-idea creators. This is one major reason why the knowledge base of the society is rapidly deteriorating.
Hungary has relatively few young graduates in science and engineering compared with the rest of the European Union. …

We examine whether and when executives' attentional capacity
limits to the number of strategic issues on their agenda. Based on a multi-method study of 79 private banks in Switzerland, Luxembourg, Austria, Singapore, and Hong Kong that face a broad range of issues in the regulatory, economic, and technological domains, we find that executives are able to attend to multiple issues simultaneously, but that their attentional capacity relates to the nature of the issue context. Issues
tend to interact with each other and the more pervasive issues tend to consume more attentional capacity crowding out other issues. Moreover, the strategic agenda size shapes the richness of organizational change actions. Contributions are intended to be made to selective attention and strategic issue management research by theorizing the role of simultaneous issue processing and of the limits of attention.

Commentary: Top 25 all-time NFL offensive players to come out of the University of Utah (+photos)
The University of Utah has sent players to the NFL since long before the game was popular or even in the mainstream of American society. Even during the program's down times they have had plenty of talent move on to the NFL and the leagues that came before. This is a list of the best players in the history of American pro football to ever come out of the University of Utah on the offensive side of the ball.
Note: A list like this is completely subjective, but I try to leave all bias out when I do my rankings. Only what each player did in the NFL got taken into consideration.
All-pro selections, Pro Bowl selections, years as a starter, years in the league, stats and impact on the team were the factors used when doing these rankings.

Pretty cool list, even though I am a BYU fan through and through I still enjoy seeing the success of everyone who has ties to this great state, even if it is the Utes. Just to tie into previous comments, Weddle not only plays defense but also happens my favorite ex-Ute NFL player. He seems like an awesome guy from what I have heard and could be my favorite current NFL player if he only went to BYU (I had to throw some lame rivalry talk in somewhere).

Marv was a fantastic player at a time when tight ends were rarely utilized as receivers. Also he's very close friends with a few of my friends from the Midwest, and took them all to the Packers' Super Bowl win in Dallas a couple years ago, so a very kind and generous man as well! Had the pleasure of meeting a few guys on this list, and am proud of not only their production on the field, but their character and class with which they represent my alma mater.

A VERY difficult day today , dreadful traffic , flooding worries, plus a power cut in parts of Rayleigh in the morning, plus at least two power cuts in Rayleigh in the evening….
There's not really any energy left tonight to write anything…
4 Comments
Usual trouble spots watery lane is still flooded (wednesday am ).Beeches road entrance was a new one as the water poured off adjacent fields .,this threatened two houses which with provision of parish council sand bags and willing helpers was alleviated .Church road some egress in two houses but with the early alert of neighbours pumps were started early .Water in that area the worst they have seen the water did not get away quick enough through the lock gates at battlesbridge .Cars think they can ignore flood road signs consequently lots of floating cars in watery lane again .↓
To back up the above post look at the video taken from the Echo( you have to sit through an advertisement first ) – what a bunch of eejits..
You are going to love this one !It is 2.3o pm .At 1pm we took the flood notices down as the road was nearly cleared and was passable .Just gone out of the gate to resume my ditch clearing of someone else ditch ,when who should appear but ECC "emergency response vehicle" under instructions to close the road !I did suggest to them perhaps monday night would have been better !They confirmed with their control that they had to close the road even though it was clear !Sorry Rawreth Lane in for another great congested evening ! We have now been closing watery lane for several incidents over the last few years on unofficial behalf of ECC and have monitored the water levels so it could be reopened asap.↓
Yup, nearly 5.00pm & Rawreth Lane now queuing back to the A1245, who is the council half wit that authorised Watery Lane to close?↓

SÃO PAULO, BRAZIL - Latin America's biggest country is in shock: Almost overnight, it has gone from an undisputed regional leader to a nation on the defensive, increasingly vulnerable to hostile measures by neighbors such as Venezuela and Bolivia.
Call it an encircled giant, if you will. While Venezuela is upstaging Brazil on the regional scene, Bolivian President Evo Morales' recent decision to nationalize his country's gas industry, which supplies about half of Brazil's gas consumption, has stunned Brazilians.
Brazil's state-owned Petrobras oil company had invested $1.5billion in Bolivia and was by far the largest foreign investor in that nation. During my visit here last week, I found people worried that an interruption of Bolivia's gas supplies - or the 60 percent price increases that Bolivia wants to keep the gas flowing - will hurt them badly.
Many Brazilian motorists and taxi drivers who have installed natural-gas tanks in their cars in recent years fear their bills will soon soar.
Former Brazilian Foreign Minister Celso Lafer told me he hasn't seen such an outcry over a foreign-policy issue "in many decades."
"When you have Morales occupying Petrobras' installations in Bolivia with the military, single-handedly appointing a new board of directors of Petrobras and accusing Petrobras of acting illegally, you are hurting Brazil's national pride," Lafer said. "Petrobras is part of Brazil's national culture."
Brazilian media almost unanimously blame President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva for failing to anticipate the crisis and being too soft on Bolivia after the policy was announced.
"Lula for President ... of Bolivia," read a headline of a column in the daily O Estado de São Paulo.
This week's Veja, Brazil's largest-circulation news magazine, has a cover with Lula with a painted oil-stamped shoe on his rear end and the headline, "Lula went to bed as the 'big leader' of Latin America and woke up as the fool of the court of Venezuelan (President) Hugo Chávez, who plotted the theft of Brazil's assets in Bolivia."
The conventional wisdom in Brazil is that Bolivia's decision was engineered in Cuba, with Venezuela's technical help. Morales made his move May 1, hours after his return from Cuba, where he spent the weekend with Chávez and Cuban dictator Fidel Castro.
Eighty-eight percent of Bolivia's population supports the nationalization, according to an Ipsos poll. Reacting to mounting criticism at home, Brazilian Foreign Minister Celso Amorim on Friday criticized Morales' allegations that Petrobras had acted illegally and said Brazil will demand financial compensation for its seized assets.
Still, Brazilian political analysts are stunned by the country's sudden loss of clout in the region and by the growing threats from its western and northern borders. Over the past year, virtually all major regional initiatives - including plans for a giant pipeline from Venezuela to Argentina, a South American regional development bank and a NATO-styled South American defense alliance - have come from Venezuela.
"Not one single Latin American country has come out to defend Brazil in this crisis," former Brazilian ambassador to Washington Rubens Barbosa told me. "The (Brazilian) government has spent so much energy in recent years trying to make Lula a world leader - for instance, making him go five times to Africa - that they've neglected our own back yard."
My conclusion: Lula is in a bind. If he takes a strong stand against Morales and Chávez, he antagonizes his own labor base and risks losing the upcoming elections. If he doesn't, he comes across as a president who puts ideology ahead of his country's national interests.
My guess is that until October, Lula will sit tight, and Venezuela will continue to eclipse Brazil on the regional stage. But if Lula is re-elected, I would not be surprised to see him re-emerge as a natural leader. Brazil is just too big, and too proud, to remain an encircled giant.

Chicago (AP) -- It's some of the best evidence yet that vitamin-d can help prevent Multiple Sclerosis.
Researchers who studied seven million people have found that an abundance of Vitamin-D seems to help prevent the nerve-damaging disease.
They found that White members of the US military with the highest blood levels of Vitamin-D were 62% less likely to develop MS than people with low levels.
No such connection was found in Blacks or Hispanics, possibly because there were so few in the group studied. Also, the body makes Vitamin-D from sunlight, and the skin of blacks and other dark-skinned ethnic groups doesn't absorb sunlight as easily as pale skin.
The research, in the Journal of the American Medical Association, echoes smaller studies that looked at why MS has historically been more common in people who live farther from the equator, in areas where there is less-intense year-round sunlight.

Exposing Uncle Sam's Internet Snooping; Judge Finds Freedom of Information Essential to Privacy Protection
Byline: THE WASHINGTON TIMES
Uncle Sam is looking for ways to sharpen his watchful gaze. In the name of fighting terrorism, federal agencies can have a hard time distinguishing the line between legitimate surveillance and unlawful spying. Fortunately, a court ruling on the public's right to know may brighten that line. Loss of hard-won liberty ought not be the price for keeping Americans safe.
On Jan. 8, Judge Gladys Kessler of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia denied the Obama administration's request to exempt documents related to the government's Internet surveillance from Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) compliance. The judge also chastised administration officials for delays in producing records approved for release. In effect, she said freedom of information means just that.
The case involved a pilot program operated jointly by the Department of Defense and Department of Homeland Security started in 2011 to monitor electronic traffic passing through certain Internet-service providers in an effort to catch hackers launching computerized attacks against defense contractors' networks. The Pentagon's intelligence branch, the National Security Agency (NSA), partnered with AT&T, Verizon and CenturyLink to snoop on the Internet traffic of 15 defense firms that agreed to participate, including Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, CSC and SAIC. Rather than scrutinize all their traffic, the NSA says it used filters that only looked for certain malicious code that would be a sign of hacker penetration.
Privacy advocates feared that having the feds tap into the public Internet flow could lead to government spying on the electronic communications of private citizens. …

I recommend Matt to anybody facing a legal problem. He kept me calm through a stressful time. He was extremely professional and knowledgeable. He also kept me informed throughout the process. If you have a legal problem, you will be in good hands with Matt as your lawyer.
Posted by Anne
I felt Matthew Fry was very compassionate, yet firm, and gave me a very honest assessment of my case. It was my first DUI and I was overwhelmed. Mr. Fry was very available and generous with his time to answer any questions I might have, which was extremely helpful. I would highly recommend Mr. Fry to anyone facing a difficult legal situation, he has a great reputation amongst other attorneys I consulted with as well. After doing my research I chose Mr. Fry as my counsel and was very pleased.
Posted by Brian
Available at any time, always willing to work and great at getting the job done.

Matt is extremely responsive. He is an expert at handling DWI cases. This is a very stressful event and he really eases the burden. He has also handled multiple traffic violations for me.
Posted by Richard
DWI...I would highly suggest that any person in trouble utilize Counselor Fry! After two (2) previous DWI's and in Saint Charles of all places, Matt was able to have another DWI charge thrown out at the preliminary hearing. If not, I might still be sitting some place across the river? Ric
Posted by Peter
Great lawyer. Always returned calls. Was available at any hour. Got my DWI dismissed.
Posted by a DUI & DWI client
When I was arrested a few weeks ago for a DUI, I immediately contacted my childhood friend and attorney Matthew Fry with Rosenblum, Schwartz, Rogers & Glass, P.C in Clayton, MO. I do not want to get into any more details with this case pending, but I can express how professional Mr. Fry has been throughout these gut wrenching times and I would highly recommend Mr. Fry as an attorney to anyone who has put themselves into a similar situation as I have. Thank you Matt and please get me out of trouble.

It's quite funny that Dessens lost his job as closer last week after two poor outings, then picks up his first save of the season by pitching in long relief. Ambiorix Burgos is the closer for now, but none of the Royals' relievers have much in the way of job security.

Elmer Dessens has reportedly lost his closer job after two bad outings.
The Royals used Joe Nelson to save Friday's win over the Yankees and manager Buddy Bell indicated that he may turn to Ambiorix Burgos again. Of course, given how poorly Burgos has pitched since losing the job himself, that makes litle sense.

I certainly didn't realize that we had 3 months to preview and decide whether or not to upgrade to ios7. I thought we were just supposed to do so. Who researches online the next iOS for Apple? (Maybe my 15 year old son) Really? Now we are supposed to preview an iOS before we download and install it? Why? It's not like there's a choice to remove it.
I'm being prompted to download and install ios7 on my ipad mini. However, it tells me I don't have enough room. Why won't it remove the ios6 and make room for the ios7? I don't want to have to keep removing stuff when that seems more logical right? I don't have much on it anyway. Is that normal for it to not remove one first and then replace with the new iOS?
Thanks for the help!

David Shanahan Oct 9, 2013 6:19 PM
in response to Lee-Anne1
To update your iPad "over the air" (i.e. over WiFi or a cellular network connection) you need to have at least 2.5 GB of available storage on the iPad. If you don't have that much free space (and the message you're getting indicates you don't) then you either have to delete enough stuff (apps, music, videos, whatever) to free up that much space or you can plug the iPad into a computer running the latest version of iTunes and do the update that way.
It can't download the new OS if it has removed the current OS version, then the iPad wouldn't work to do the download! You have to have enough space available to hold the new iOS download itself and then the unpacked version of it that is created during the install process.
See this document for instructions on how to proceed: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
You *are* supposed to just update to iOS 7, but there was a lot of discussion and write-ups in various places, including the Apple website, announcing that iOS 7 was coming and that it would involve considerable change to how iOS used to look and work.

Most technology reviewers and reporters had already been saying that about the tired, out-of-date skeuomorphic user interface of iOS and OS X, including Forbes, The Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Slate, Wired, and many other trade and popular technology journals. As well as a lot of posts from users in these forums.
I don't care either way; what's important is the functionality, not the graphics. If the user interface is easy to use, reasonably intuitive and fast it doesn't matter whether the calendar has a simulated leather border or not, or whether the contact app has a spiral binding, or the newstand has a shelf motif or just a plain background.
So far, from a functionality perspective iOS 7 is easier to use, easier to navigate, provides more precise control over features and far, far better security and theft protection. And a lot of new features that I really appreciate having.

The whole discussion on this thread is very useful to Apple to understand what they have missed in their Testing phase of iOS7. I can see iOS7 one of the great example where company can force its customer to test the new release and leave an unsolved thread where customer can post the missing features.
David Shanahan Oct 9, 2013 8:53 PM
in response to Lee-Anne1
Glad to have helped. Yes the discussions of iOS 7 in several threads have become rather heated unfortunately and often quite off topic. The key things about iOS 7 I hope you have learned by now though are:
1. Once you upgrade to it there is no going back, you're stuck with it there is no downgrade to iOS 6 available.
2. It's look and feel is very different from iOS 6 and earlier versions. It will take time to get used to it, take the time and I hope you'll find it as big an improvement in most areas as most users do.
3. There's lots of things you can alter in the iOS 7 settings screens - e.g. the new system font is thinner and some find it hard to read on the home screen, etc. Some user report that the new animations make them motion sick even. So go to Settings>General>Accessibility>Larger Type, Bold Text, Increase Contrast, Reduce Motion and several others (e.g. On/Off Labels) if you don't like the way it looks out of the box so to speak.

You seem to be soo pleased after getting iOS7.
You are right in a sense that above all it is the functionality which matters, but in order to use that functionality you need a battery back up friend, and iOS7 has a pathetic battery back up as compared to that of iOS 6.
Your phone wouldn't be of much use if you dont have a nice battery back up to use or you are too scared to lose your battery on using the device.
Moreover, UI also has its importance, you just cant ignore that and you should not expect to compromise that for an Apple device.
So, over all it is not a sensible deal to go for iOS7.

Wow. you are annoyed that someone would be pleased with iOS 7!
in order to use that functionality you need a battery back up friend, and iOS7 has a pathetic battery back up as compared to that of iOS 6.
Not clear what you mean by "battery back up", but no one I know (many) has battery life issues with iOS 7 if they know how to manage background app refreshing, location services, and AirDrop.

Hi David,
Good post! In addition to your tips for making the screens easier to read with the Accessibility options, I also saw a recent post where it was pointed out that the background wallpaper color can make a significant difference.
I currently have a mostly blue wallpaper background and the labels for my icons are all in white. However, this poster indicated that with a yellow background the font would be black. I tried it, and voila! the labels were in black - easier on the eyes.
Thought you might want to add that to your suggestion repertoire!

Modular, that is a very fair point. I guess the question is whether or not Apple went too far the other way when trying to refresh iOS. Judging by many people's reactions, it seems that they have. The iOS UI has gone from being comparatively simple (some might say over-simple or even boring) to something that is so full of animations and whizz-bang effects, and has so many ideas taken from other OS's, that a sizeable number of users (obviously not all, or possibly even a majority) either dislike it or, worse, can't even use it.
Whenever a change is made to anything which people have become familiar with (Windows 8 anyone?), there is going to be a certain degree of resistance; in this case, Apple appear to have gone a bit mad with the changes, and what you are seeing is more than just a bit of reluctance to adapt, but people who are genuinely struggling to use their devices after having upgraded to iOS7.

Yeah that's interesting. I have a personal photo as my background on my iPad and the Apple water's edge photo background on my iPhone and they both give me white text labels on the home screen, but I was fiddling about the other day with different backgrounds and noticed that one of them gave me black text instead. Unfortunately I didn't note which background it was...
I wonder if it's documented anywhere what colour backgrounds give different colour text labels and what the rules are that make it change? It would be quite useful to know.

Hmm, okay so now I know some more about this. On the iPhone if you pick any of the stills "dotty" coloured backgrounds (i.e. the last five of the six backgrounds in the list, pink/purple, yellow, blue/green, green/yellow and the grey one), except the black dotted one, you get black text.
Oh, okay, also the light blue background with the multicoloured smudges on it and the white hexagon pattern, give you black text too. It all seems kinda random, there must be some rules...

My battery life is MUCH better with iOS 7; one of the things I'm happiest about. I can now get 2 days if I want to; never had more than 1 day with any previous release. If your phone is not seeing this there's probably something amiss. You should spend some time troubleshooting.

I didn't find this product moisturizing at all, and it did not help detangle my hair at all. A total waste of money.
Age: 36-43
Skin: Combination, Fair, Cool
Hair: Brown, Straight, Fine
Eyes: Hazel
I don't fit the typical Ouidad customer profile: I have lots of straight, fine hair. It never has volume, it never holds a curl, and it's very long (almost to my waist). I have a rather oily scalp and my hair always looks dirty after one day. However, my ends get really dry and tangle like crazy. This is not a product I would have tried in a million years, especially as Ouidad's entire brand is built on treatment of curly hair. I'd switched to argan oil shampoo, but it made no difference and my ends were still dry and tangled. Then I received a very generously sized sample of this through my last Sephora order. Here's what blows my mind about it: it doesn't make my hair heavy or greasy. I've used all sorts of leave-ins and they always claim that it won't weigh your hair down, but we all know that's bs, right? Especially if you have hair with my texture and length. But the tangles stopped AND it's never weighed it down. I've been using it every day for about a week and am definitely looking at the full-sized product. It's $22 for an 8-oz bottle but I only have to use a little dollop, so it should last a long time. I don't mind spending a little more for a product that works and goes a long way.
Age: 30-35

I have been using this for about 3 months now and I really like it. I have curly hair and have noticed a great improvement in my curls since using this.
Age: 25-29
Skin: Combination, Fair, Neutral
Hair: Brunette, Wavy, Medium
Eyes: Hazel
Granted, I'm not a connoisseur of leave-in conditioners, and I don't have curly hair. What I do have is lots of over-processed, fine to medium-textured wavy hair that is quite prone to frizz. This stuff has just been a lifesaver while I grow out my over-dyed hair. I found that a rinse conditioner wasn't doing the trick, so I bought this stuff. After I shampoo and condition with a lightweight rinse-out conditioner, I lightly towel dry my hair and then apply about a dime to nickel size amount of Ouidad to my medium length hair. Then I comb out the tangles, part it down the middle, and secure it in a low bun at the nape of my neck. I let it get about half-dry in that manner and then remove the bun and go to sleep. When I wake up in the morning my hair looks soooo much better. I will repurchase.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Combination, Tan, Neutral
Hair: Black, Straight, Fine
Eyes: Brown
When I first started using this, I loved it! It made my hair smell super nice, it gave it a little volume. For preference, k have natural black hair that is dyed dark brown with caramel highlights, it's also oily and fine. Anyway so when I first started using this, I like it. But gradually thought as I continued to use it that the product could be better. The price is $22 for the big bottle at sephora.. Personally I don't think the bottle is big enough. Then again I'm new to the hair game, so I wouldn't know if this is a good price for the amount. Anyway, I will probably repurchase if I cannot find anything else cheaper and works just as well. I don't think it's worth shelling out $22 bucks.
Age: 36-43
Skin: Acne-prone, Fair-Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Other, Other
Eyes: Hazel
I have naturally curly (3a), medium-textured hair that I color on a regular basis, so a good leave-in is a must for me. The best leave-ins I've ever used (Aveda Elixir & Kiehls Leave-In) were both discontinued, so I'm constantly on the hunt for a replacement.
I really like this product. It provides me with enough moisture but doesn't weigh down my curls, which is a big problem for me with leave-ins. I've never had issues with it building up either. It is a bit pricey at $22/bottle, but a little goes a long way. I also wish it smelled better; it doesn't smell bad, just reminds me of a basic drugstore moisturizer. I usually order this online from Sephora.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Combination, Medium Brown, Cool
Hair: Brown, Kinky, Coarse
Eyes: Brown
This does absolutely nothing for my hair except make it wish for more moisture. It feels like it locks the moisture OUT of my kinky-curly, African American hair. Considering that Ouidad is the "queen of curl" her products sure do act useless on me, and I can't afford to pay more money for stuff that doesn't even work. I'm giving it away. Actually, no. I'm getting my money back.

i have FINE curly hair and this stuff is GREAT!! it doesnt weigh my hair down.. and it provides soft defined curls.
Age: 30-35
Skin: Oily, Fair, Not Sure
Hair: Brown, Other, Other
Eyes: Hazel
This is a great product for the right kind of hair (mine, being fine, frizzy/curly). I don't know how it would fair for thicker or coarser curly hair. When I use a small amount on my hair-about a nickel on hair that falls approx 4" past shoulders-I get defined, relatively smooth, soft curls. Once my hair has dried, I apply my defrizzing product of choice to add shine and more definition, but I don't need much additional product. This conditioner used on its own really does a lot for my hair quality and style without weighing it down and making it flat or dull. $22 isn't cheap for a bottle of conditioner, but a bottle would last you basically forever in conditioner years even with daily use. I also like the Phyto 7 leave in conditioner, but it doesn't provide as much structure as the Ouidad and it's about 7 times more expensive.

Best Video Store (1999)
Blockbuster Video
We're still waiting for the day when a link between cable TV and the Internet will provide us with a video library, a one-stop rental site replete with every movie known to man, from The Birth of a Nation to The Waterboy, with all the obscure, naughty, horrifying, and gut-achingly funny picks in between. Then we'll just click on, say, Orson Welles' Chimes at Midnight, sit back with our popcorn, and enjoy. Until then Blockbuster's the next best thing. The chain doesn't carry every movie known to man (where's the adult section?), but it is a chain, and your membership card is good anywhere, meaning that if they don't have The Treasure of the Sierra Madre in Plantation, it may just be available in Hollywood. And the regular rental price, $3.17, ain't bad, nor is the fact that now your chances of renting a brand-new release on its first weekend are pretty good. Are the stores a little too crowded and brightly lit, the youngsters at the cash registers a little too perky? Sure. But these are small prices to pay for the freedom of choice that is every movie-lover's God-given right. Amen.

The southern blue-flag, (Iris virginica), is a beautiful purple-blue flower. The iris (Iridacea) is a family of perennial herbs. Other familiar plants in the family are crocuses, freesia and gladioli.
The iris is characterized by thickened stems and sword-shaped leaves. The swamp or purple iris stem or rhizome is extremely poisonous when dried. The Indians often used small amounts as a diuretic and cathartic.
The wild iris is common in the temperate and sub artic regions of North America. These wild irises are often called flags.
The iris is thought to be the source of the fleur-de-lis and possibly the flower of the Greek youth Hyacinth.

If you've attended one of our recent SQL Server 2008 events then you'll know that SQL Server 2008 has native support for spatial datatypes (as it happens it has two types, geometry to represent planar or flat-earth data such as Ordnance Survey grid references or building plans and geography to represent round-earth or geodetic data such as Lat/Lon data).
One of the things I show is integration with Virtual Earth (or Live Search Maps) - BTW if you haven't installed my Live Search Maps Sidebar Gadget, what are you waiting for? [If you think it sucks, drop me a mail and tell me why or what I could do to improve it and maybe I will - you'll see what I mean if you follow the link. I use it a lot as a fast way to find place and find driving times].
Anyway, back to integration with Virtual Earth. As part of my demo I show a web page written by Johannes Kebeck which allows you to do various things including generating T-SQL INSERT statements to add spatial features to your DB by drawing on a Virtual Earth Map. In fact this is how I created the raw data of Thames Valley Park for the rest of the demo.
SQL Server 2008 supports the Well Known Text (WKT) and Well Known Binary (WKB) formats as well as a subset of Geography Markup Language (GML) all defined by the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC). One thing I have learned is that the world of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) has more TLAs (three letter acronyms) than any other branch of science...
A few people have asked if I can release the demo code. Well I could have approached Johannes and asked if he'd publish it but having told people how straightforward it was, I thought it might be more honest if I were to write a similar page. So I did.
The page allows you to create Points, Lines and Polygons by drawing on a Virtual Earth map. Although it's an aspx page, there's actually no managed code behind, I simply wanted to take advantage of the AJAX script library. All the work is done in JavaScript.
To use it, simply select whether you want a Point, Line or Polygon then mark the feature on the map (of course you can pan and zoom the map to your hearts content before you start). Use the left mouse button to mark points and the right mouse button to enter end-points (for Lines and Polygons). When you've entered a feature you need to give it a name. You can then carry on entering more features or generate SQL. Before you generate SQL, customise the column names (the INSERT statement only populates two columns - one for the name of the feature and the other for its geography) and the table name and then hit "Generate SQL". You'll get a block of T-SQL that will populate your features in SQL Server 2008.
"One thing I have learned is that the world of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) has more TLAs (three letter acronyms) than any other branch of science"
WKT, WKB, GML, GIS, OGC and even TLA are *not* acronyms. Look up acroynm in a dictionary and you'll see what I mean. TLA ought to stand for Three Letter Abbreviation. SQL is sometimes an acronym, depends on how you pronounce it of course.
Yes, fair point. I don't have to look it up in a dictionary to know you're correct. Just a slip of the pen (brain). :-) Mike
Is it possible to get spatial data (map reference for virtual earth) into SQL 2005 Express? This is something I have been trying to figure out for a while?
Well it's certainly possible to store Lat / Lon etc but there's no native spatial support in SQL Server 2005 so you're on your own. If you have a look at the demo page you'll see how you can capture Lat / Lon from Virtual Earth.
You might want to take a look at the following sample http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms345264.aspx and CodePlex project http://www.codeplex.com/MsSqlSpatial.
A nice article by Mike Ormond explain SQL Server 2008 has native support for spatial datatypes. Read

Respond to Review of Loving Hut
by Dofer
Review: Asian food is not among my favorites, and I'm not a spiritual person, so you can guess I was skeptical about an Asian restaurant that belongs to admirers of a "Supreme Master". After I ate there, I was not skeptical anymore, and I even went out having a special "feel good" feeling. I prefer to relate it to the food though, and not to the Supreme Master. The food is good, the owners are nice, the prices are fair, and bathroom even has personal towels, like someone already mentiones here, and the location is near the St. Pauli stadium, so you can watch a game and then come to eat. Above all, you simply feel good in this place, and this feeling follows you for the whole day.

Athlete: The Outsiders EP Announced
Athlete has been scorned by most critics this past year for sounding too much like Coldplay (whatever that means now), but we still love em' and are anticipating The Outsiders EP, which was just announced this past week.
Amazingly, its not a bunch of remixes of their song "The Outsiders" from Beyond The Neighbourhood, which came out this past year. In fact, I only know two of these tracks, and so should you – "Flying Over Bus Stops" was actually one of my top picks from this album, so I'm looking forward to these new ones planted in the middle of this EP to compliment two tracks at least I know I enjoyed from BTN.
The Outsiders EP will be available on June 23rd in the UK.
Here's the tracklisting:
1) The Outsiders (Radio Edit)
2) Best Not To Think About It
3) Shades On
4) Plain English
5) Flying Over Bus Stops (Live at Cambridge Corn Exchange)
MP3: Athlete – Flying Over Bus Stops (buy)

I'm a poet and a third year undergrad at Queen's University. Kingston is home but I love traveling, I think because when I am away I am a version of myself that is the most open. I'm really into music/art/thought that comes out of love. Also: wine, the outdoors, stuff with idiosyncrasies. Bodies are hard to take care of, but I try to be good to mine - sometimes yoga in the morning, sometimes hungover in the afternoon. Good vibes come from connecting.

There are about a trillion flakes that fell last night with your name on them, and with the Marmot Marmot Jacket, not one will get inside and ruin the best day of the season. After you zip up this snow-proof shell, snap on the powder skirt, fix the cuffs, and pull on the storm hood, you can ski trenches through shoulder-deep snow all day without it sneaking inside. That way you can just focus on breathing between faceshots.
- Fully taped seams mean no drips off chairs or melting snow will find its way through to your under layers
- Tough, two-layer MemBrain nylon shell breathes, keeps out moisture, and stands up to the abuse of multiple seasons of ski touring and resort laps
- Zip-off storm hood features a laminated brim to keep it from flapping in the wind
- Underarm zippers come in handy during hikes and hot rides in the tram
- Zip-off powder skirt includes gripper elastic to keep it in place and guard your under layers from deep, fluffy snow
- Lined collar, chin guard, and shoulders feel smooth and increase warmth during super-storms
- Water-resistant zippers prevent vulnerabilities when closed
- Internal mesh pockets hold goggles and gloves and a media pocket secures you phone during hikes or happy hour sessions at the base

What do you think about this product?
Have questions about this product?
For Australian conditions this is just perfect. Love it, as always another quality product from Marmot. Recommend this jacket to all.
Marmot Mantra Jacket
Marmot's own Curly presents the Mantra Jacket.
Sorry, but that's a pretty useless video. Tells me nothing that isn't already printed on Backcountry.com and that is even pretty weak. I'm still not certain whether this jacket is a soft shell or hard shell. Tim Coats video could have at least opened up the jacket to show the inside pockets, how the powder skirt works, MP3 player holes etc. All he does is stand there in the jacket and say some of the same stuff I just read. Pfft. Useless. I'll tell you what, how about I do your videos for you and provide the info that serious skiers & riders want to know? I'm assuming that's who this jacket is targeted at.
Sorry! don't like the video either!
You'll Probably Love It
Super nice jacket. Feels much lighter than I expected.
The features on this jacket are top drawer. Too many jackets these days don't allow hood or powder skirt, or both, to be removed. Gotta love Marmot for giving that option so generously, as is the case with the Mantra. Having said that, this hood will cover a ski helmet, but it is too small for optimal performance with one. I understand their alpine-oriented jackets have larger hoods, although those more often are non-detachable. Over a hat, this hood wears and adjusts beautifully. Marmot says that their ski jackets have the smaller hoods because most people who ski with helmets don't use their hoods while doing so, mostly using them for the lift ride, etc. In my experience, I would second that (who wants a hood restricting their view when skiing serious stuff?) Apline-type jackets have the larger hoods so climbers can have that extra weather protection while wearing a helmet hanging on a wall or belaying and still have full range of motion. Since many of those jackets from Marmot come with zip-out powder skirts, they become real options as ski jackets!
Alpine-oriented jackets also are much more minimalist in their pocket offerings. The Mantra jacket has pockets galore, inside and out. The small media pocket really could use a velcro tab or some such, as your phone can slip out when bending over. That would be easy to retrofit. But the TWO large open mesh interior pockets along with a large zipper interior, the forearm, the lovely fleece-lined hand, and the two slightly different chest pockets offer outstanding carrying capacity, especially when doing without a pack.
Length of the jacket is generous for deep days. Collar is comfy-cozy.
I had some personal issues with the fit. I'm a pretty slender 6ft, 183lbs, but my arms are a bit long and my shoulders are broad. In the Mantra in size Large, when at the limits of my reach, the sleeves started to come up short and the shoulders across the back started to bind, enough so that it would be a concern to me, especially in the backcountry. The other day I had opportunity to try on in a ski shop Marmot's Cervino jacket (another EXCELLENT jacket one definitely should take a good look at! Liner is lighter weight, less noticeable.) The size large gave me the same fit issues as the Mantra, but the size XL was great. Awesome sleeve length, no binding issues, but, again, the fabric, though I'm sure it's mighty tough for its weight, is not quite burly enough for my needs. But, definitely, if your fit concerns are the same as mine, seriously consider the same jacket in a size up. The extra roominess in the rest of the jacket is great for layering but does not at all seem uncomfortably bulky. Marmot stuff is WELL-TAILORED.
Also, I've decided that for the kind of skiing I do I need a simple, non-lined 3-layer shell. The liner in this jacket, as liners go, is sweet, but probably would hinder me somewhat when "aerobically active." Were I to use this as mainly a lift-served jacket, it would be just fine.
The #1 deciding factor in my return of this jacket simply is the level of ruggedness of the shell fabric. Once again, for lift-served, inbounds skiing that didn't venture too deeply into the tight, forested (read: woods, not: glades,) I'm sure this jacket would be bomber. But to turn away nasty, stunted pine branches and vicious prickers and thorns, I need something a little burlier. Marmot has some great offerings along these lines, although the price point is (understandably) somewhat higher, and one must deal with a corresponding loss of some of those dee-licious pockets!
Bottom line: for its intended use, if not venturing too deeply off-trail, the Marmot Mantra jacket definitely is up near the top! I would not hesitate to recommend it to the right friend. I would expect the appropriate buyer to award it five stars.
Are there older versions of this jacket...
Are there older versions of this jacket without pit zips?
how insulated is this jacket how many grams...
how insulated is this jacket how many grams of insulation does it have??
This jacket is not insulated, it has 0 grams of insulation. It is a shell only.
(sorry for not answering this 2 years go)
The Marmot Erial jacket uses the M1...
The Marmot Erial jacket uses the M1 Softshell, what is this jacket like relative to it in terms of breath ability and wind resistance?
This jacket (Mantra) utilizes the Marmot MemBrain laminate, so it will not be as breathable as the Erial, which uses a densely woven softshell material that Marmot calls their M1. However, the Mantra will be wind and water proof, where the Erial is wind/water resistant (possibly wind proof per Marmot). Hope this helps you.
