In the box, you will find a selection of 5c, 10c, 20c, 50c, $1 and $2 denominations. The $1 and $2 are in a golden colour, the 5c, 10c, 20c, 50c are painted in silver. This makes them look similar to real coins. The activity cards will help students understand the value of money and teaches them to count with money.
From as early as Year 1, students have to learn to recognise, describe and order Australian coins according to their value. The next step is to count with money and to identify equivalent values in collections of coins, for instance that two coins of $1 are the same value as one coin of $2. This coin and puzzle set is perfect to do so. It will help students understand the value of money and is perfect for every early primary school class.
Each coin clearly labels 'Play Money'. The coins are made of plastic and come in a handy storage container.

Games I've introduced to CoWorkers at lunch
- Doug Palmer(Scammer)United States
I'm lucky. I work at a company where I can bring in boardgames, leave them set up, and come back to them the next day at lunch (or break). I'm an engineer. And my cohort (Nick) thought boardgames were Axis and Allies, Risk and Monopoly. Tsk, tsk, tsk. I began bringing in boardgames that I thought he might like. Then, we found out that the two guys in the IT department were closet gamers. And just last month, we hired Nick's brother (Chris) in the department. So now, we're five.
This geeklist is just some of the highs (and lows) of enlightening gamers via my lunchtime endeavors

Article: Effects of ulinastatin on expression pattern of high mobility group box-1 protein and CD4+CD25+regulatory T cells in rats with scald injury[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Aim of the study: To observe the effects of ulinastatin on T lymphocyte immune function and the expression of high mobility group box-1 protein (HMGB1) in rats with scald injury. Material and methods: A total of 96 Wistar rats were randomly divided into three groups (32 rats in each group): sham burn group (S), burn group (B), ulinastatin-treated group (BU). Sham-burned rats were immersed in distilled water at 37 C for 12 seconds and served as control, rats in the later two groups were inflicted with 30% TBSA full thickness burns at boiling water (94 C) for 12 seconds, followed by resuscitation with Ringer's solution (i.p.). The treatment group (BU) received ulinastatin and the control group was given the same amount of saline solution immediately following burn injury, wounds in rats were soaked in 1% povidone-iodine solution. Blood samples and spleens were collected at 1, 3, 5, 7 d after injury for further laboratory investigations. High mobility group box-1 protein expression was evaluated by western blotting, the presence of CD4+ CD25+ regulatory T cells were determined with flow cytometry, the plasma IL-4 and IFN-gamma levels were determined using ELISA. Results: Compared with the S group (0.22 +/- 0.05), during postburn days] to 7, the level of HMGB1 in splenic tissue was significantly elevated in the B group (p < 0.01), reached the maximum at 3 d after injury (0.66 +/- 0.10, p < 0.01). After treated with ulinastatin, HMGB1 level was markedly decreased, reached the lowest value at 5 d (0.32 +/- 0.07, p < 0.01). Compared with the sham burn group, percentage of CD4+ CD25+ Treg cells in B group gradually increased after injury and peaked at 3 d after injury (5.42% +/- 0.56%). After burn injury 1, 5, 7 d, percentage of CD4+ CD25+ Treg cells in BU group was significantly lower than the B group (p < 0.01), reached the lowest at 5 d (2.23% +/- 0.21%). The serum level of IFN-gamma in B group was significantly higher than the S group (p < 0.01), IL-4 was significantly higher than that of the S group (p < 0.01). After injury for 1 similar to 7 d, the content of IFN-gamma in BU group were significantly higher than the B group (p < 0.05 or p < 0.01), and IL-4 level was significantly lower than the burn group (p < 0.05 or p < 0.01). Conclusions: As an anti-inflammatory drug, ulinastatin effectively reduced the expression of HMGB1 in the spleen tissue of severely burned rats, which was associated with reduction in the level of regulatory T cells (Treg), and the functional polarization of splenic T cells levels and Th1/Th2 pattern changes. Taken together these data suggested that ulinastatin improved the immune function of rats with scald injury.
Article: Effect of Early Intensive Insulin Therapy on Immune Function of Aged Patients with Severe Trauma[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This study examined the effect of intensive insulin therapy on immune function and inflammatory factors at the early phase after severe trauma. At day 1, 3, 5, 7 after admission, subsets of CD4(+) helper T lymphocytes (Th1/Th2) and human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DR expression on CD14(+) monocytes were flow cytometrically measured. Levels of cytokines, including tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-10 (IL-10) and other immunity markers, such as IgA, IgG, IgM, C3, C4 and C reaction protein (CRP) were examined in two groups. The results showed that TNF-α, IL-6 and CRP levels in the intensive insulin therapy group were significantly lower than those in the conventional therapy group, whereas IL-10 levels were substantially increased after intensive insulin therapy. C3 level at day 3, 5, 7 and C4 levels at day 5, 7 were lower in the intensive therapy group than in the conventional therapy group. Th1/Th2 ratios decreased gradually over time in both groups, and were much lower at day 3, 5, 7 in intensive therapy group. There were significant differences among day 3 to day 7 after admission in HLA-DR expression in CD14(+) monocytes. It was concluded that the intensive insulin therapy could decrease pro-inflammatory cytokines and increase anti-inflammatory cytokines in the elderly suffering from severe trauma, at the same time, with complement recovery being delayed. Moreover, intensive insulin therapy promoted immune suppression and, therefore, measures need be taken to address the issue.
Article: Clinical Effects of Intensive Insulin Therapy Treating Traumatic Shock Combined with Multiple Organ Dysfunction Syndrome[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The therapeutic effects of intensive insulin therapy in treatment of traumatic shock combined with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) were investigated. A total of 114 patients with traumatic shock combined with MODS were randomly divided into two groups: control group (n=56) treated with conventional therapy, and intensive insulin therapy group (n=58) treated with conventional therapy plus continuous insulin pumping to control the blood glucose level at range of 4.4-6.1 mmol/L. White blood cells (WBC) counts, prothrombin time (PT), serum creatinine (SCr), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), serum albumin and PaO(2) were measured before and at the day 1, 3, 5, 7 and 14 after treatment. The incidence of gastrointestinal dysfunction, the incidence of MODS, hospital stay and the mortality were also observed and compared. After intensive insulin therapy, the WBC counts, SCr, ALT and PT were significantly reduced (P<0.05), but the level of serum albumin was significantly increased (P<0.05) at the day 3, 5, 7 and 14. In the meantime, the PaO2 was significantly elevated at the day 3, 5 and 7 (P<0.01) after intensive insulin therapy. The incidence of gastrointestinal dysfunction, the incidence of MODS, the length of hospital stay and the mortality were markedly decreased (P<0.01). The results suggest early treatment with intensive insulin therapy is effective for traumatic shock combined with MODS and can decrease the length of hospital stay and the mortality.
Article: Inhibition of Janus Kinase 2 and Signal Transduction and Activator of Transcription 3 Protect Against Cecal Ligation and Puncture-Induced Multiple Organ Damage and Mortality[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Janus kinase/signal transducers and activators of transcription (JAK/STAT) pathway plays an important role in sepsis, transducing a multitude of inflammatory signals. To date, knowledge of JAK/STAT pathway in sepsis is limited. This study was to investigate the potential role of JAK/STAT pathway in mediating multiple organ damage and mortality in septic rats. Our data showed that inhibition of JAK2/STAT3 attenuated cecal ligation and puncture-induced multiple organ damage and mortality in 48 hours in rats. A total of 98 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 4 groups as follows: (1) normal control group (n = 10); (2) cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) group (n = 40), which was further divided into 2, 6, 24, 48-hour post-CLP groups; (3) AG490 (8.0 mg/kg, Calbiochem, La Jolla, CA) treatment group (n = 24), which was further divided into 2, 6, 24, 48-hour post-CLP groups; (4) rapamycin (0.4 mg/kg, Calbiochem, Calbiochem, La Jolla, CA) treatment group (n = 24), which was further divided into 2, 6, 24, 48-hour post-CLP groups; CLP was performed to induce experimental sepsis. AG490 (8 mg/kg) or rapamycin (0.4 mg/kg) was injected subcutaneously 0.5 hour before CLP in respective group. Animals were killed at destined time after CLP (not including the death rate observation group), and specimens of serum, liver, and lungs were harvested and stored in liquid nitrogen for subsequent analyses. In an additional experiment, 88 animals were randomly divided into three groups to compare the survival rate, including CLP group (n = 40), AG490 treatment group (8 mg/kg, n = 24), and rapamycin treatment group (0.4 mg/kg, n = 24). Mortality of rats in each group was recorded up to 48 hours after the procedure. After CLP challenge, myeloperoxidase (MPO), aspartate transaminase, and alanine aminotransferase levels, as well as activation of JAK2 and STAT3, were markedly increased. Administration of AG490 or rapamycin significantly decreased activation of JAK2 and STAT3, as well as high mobility group box-1 protein, MPO, alanine aminotransferase levels (p < 0.05 or p < 0.01). In addition, treatment with AG490 or rapamycin significantly improved the 48-hour survival rate from 37.5% (15 of 40) to 66.7% (16 of 24) and 70.8% (17 of 24), respectively (both p < 0.05). JAK2/STAT3 pathway might play a role in the development of multiple organ damage in septic rats, which suggested a potential strategy to control sepsis.
Article: Human calcium/calmodulin-dependent serine protein kinase regulates the expression of p21 via the E2A transcription factor[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: CASK (calcium/calmodulin-dependent serine protein kinase) is a kind of scaffolding protein that recruits or organizes other proteins at the plasma membrane to co-ordinate signal transduction pathways within the cytoplasm and nucleus. We have previously found that hCASK (human CASK) binds Id1 (inhibitor of DNA binding 1) through hCASK's GUK (guanylate kinase) domain and inhibits cell growth, probably via interactions with Id1. Overexpression of hCASK resulted in a reduced rate of cell growth, although inhibition of CASK via RNAi (RNA interference) promoted cell proliferation in ECV304 cells. This study revealed that hCASK regulates the protein and mRNA level of p21(wafi/cip1) (referred to throughout as p21), and activated the expression of p21 in a time-dependent manner. Two E-boxes in the proximal region at the TSS (transcription start site) play key roles in regulating hCASK-mediated p21 expression. We suggest that E2A (E12 and E47), a representative of the E proteins that binds the E-box elements, is a participant in the mediation of p21 expression by hCASK. The results of the present study suggest that hCASK regulation of cell growth might involve p21 expression, and that the bHLH (basic helix-loop-helix) transcription factor E2A probably participates in hCASK regulation of p21 expression. From these findings, we propose a novel proliferation signalling pathway mediated by hCASK.
Article: Effect of burn injury on apoptosis and expression of apoptosis-related genes/proteins in skeletal muscles of rats[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to investigate the occurrence and possible mechanisms of apoptosis in skeletal muscles after burn injury. After a 40% body surface area burn to rats, TA muscles were examined for apoptosis at varying times by TEM, TUNEL and cell death ELISA assay. Thermal injury was found to induce apoptosis in skeletal muscle on the first day and maximal apoptosis appeared 4 days post-injury. Apoptotic ligands in serum assessed by ELISA revealed rapidly increase of TNF-alpha and subsequent increase of sFasL to sFas ratio after burn injury. It implied TNF-alpha induced apoptosis in early stage and FasL induced apoptosis in later stage after burn injury. Apoptosis-related genes/proteins in skeletal muscles examined by real-time PCR array and Western blotting showed pro-apoptotic genes/proteins, including Tnfrsf1a, Tnfrsf1b and Tnfsf6 in TNF ligand and receptor family, Bax and Bid in Bcl-2 family, caspase-3 and caspase-6 in caspase family, Dapk1, FADD and Cidea in death and CIDE domain family, Apaf-1 in CARD family, and Gadd45a were up-regulated, while anti-apoptotic gene Bnip1 was down-regulated compared with that of time-matched controls. In addition, increment of caspase-3, caspase-8 and caspase-9 activity provided further evidence for their role in apoptosis in skeletal muscle. Significant increase in expression in pro-apoptotic genes/proteins and activity of caspases suggested that death receptor-mediated signaling pathways and other apoptotic related pathways participated in apoptosis in skeletal muscle after burn injury. However, it was found that some anti-apoptotic genes such as Bcl2l1, Mcl-1, Nol-3, Il-10 and Prok2 were also up-regulated, which might imply the co-existence of protective response of the body after burns. In conclusion, the data suggest that apoptosis and pro-apoptotic signaling are enhanced in muscles of burned rats. To further elucidate the underlying apoptotic mechanisms mediating the atrophic response is important in establishing potential therapeutic interventions that could prevent and/or reduce skeletal muscle wasting and preserve its physiological function.

ABSTRACT: Early multiple organ dysfunction syndrome appears to be facilitated with bacterial translocation in severe burn injury, yet the mechanisms of bacterial translocation remain in dispute. The aim of this study was to characterize the potential role of intestinal bifidobacteria in the pathogenesis of gut-derived bacterial translocation after burns and to analyze the effects of bifidobacterial supplement on gut barrier function. Wistar rats were randomly divided into burn group (Burn, n = 60), sham burn group (SB, n = 10) in experiment 1, and burn + saline group (BS, n = 30), burn + bifidobacteria group (BB, n = 30), and sham-burn + saline group (SS, n = 30) in experiment 2. Animals in BB group were fed bifidobacterial preparation (5 x 10(9) CFU/mL) after burns, 1.5 mL, twice daily. Animals in BS and SS were fed saline. Samples were taken on postburn days 1, 3, and 5. The incidence of bacterial translocation and counts of Bifidobacterium, fungi and Escherichia coli in gut mucosa, as well as the sIgA levels in mucus of the small intestine were determined. The positive sIgA expression in lamina propria and ileum mucosal injury were evaluated light microscopically by blinded examiners. The incidence of bacterial translocation was increased after burns, which was accompanied by significant decrease in number of bifidobacteria but significant increase in E. coli and fungi in gut mucosa, and elevation of levels of plasma endotoxin and IL-6 (p < 0.001). The incidence of bacterial translocation was markedly reduced after 3- and 5-day supplementation of bifidobacteria compared with control group (p < 0.05). The counts of mucosal bifidobacteria were increased by 4- to 40-fold, whereas E. coli and fungi were decreased by 2- to 30-fold and 10- to 150-fold, respectively, after bifidobacterial supplementation. The damage of mucosa tended to be less pronounced after 3-day bifidobacteria-supplemented formula compared with control group (grade 2 [0-6] versus grade 4 [3-6], p < 0.05). Moreover, the expression and release of sIgA was markedly augmented after 3-days of bifidobacteria-supplementation formula and it returned to normal range on postburn day 5. The decrease in counts and proportion of bifidobacteria to other flora in gut may play an important role in the development of bacterial translocation after thermal injury. Supplementation of exogenous bifidobacteria could improve gut barrier function, and attenuate bacterial/endotoxin translocation secondary to major burns.

ABSTRACT: To describe the methods which were used to develop collagen-based materials for wound dressing. Fresh frozen bovine tendon was treated with 0.05 mol/L acetic acid at pH 3.2 for 48-72 hours, homogenized, filtered, mixed with 8% chondroitin sulphate, for creating a deaerated 1.5%-2.5% collagen solution. The solution was lyophilized in either a pre-frozen or non-pre-frozen mould. The collagen sponge was then cross-linked with 0.25% glutaraldehyde for 24 hours. Three other types of wound dressings were developed using a similar method: collagen membrane with a polyurethane membrane onlay, polyurethane-coated collagen membrane and collagen membrane on gauze. It was demonstrated that the use of frozen bovine tendon was stable, and that the prepared collagen sponge contained pores of 50-400 microm in diameter. Collagen could be used as wound dressing.
Article: [The relationship between intestinal bifidobacteria and bacteria/endotoxin translocation in scalded rats].[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To investigate the potential role of intestinal bifidobacteria in the pathogenesis of gut-origin bacteria/endotoxin translocation in scalded rats. Wistar rats inflicted with 30% III degree scalding on the back were employed as the model with the rats undergoing sham injury as the control. The intestinal bacteria/endotoxin translocation and the changes in cecal mucosal microflora were determined by routine methods. And the plasma IL-6 concentration was measured with ELISA. The incident of bacterial translocation into internal organs increased markedly in scalded rats (P = 0.001). The plasma LPS levels on 1, 3 and 5 postburn days (PBDs) in scalded rat group were much higher than those in sham injury group. The number of bifidobacteria decreased sharply 20 - 250 fold, the fungi increased 5 - 60 fold and E. coli increased 0.5 - 30 fold in the caecal mucosal microflora in the scalding group. The ratio of bifidobacteria to E. coli in the scalding group (4 - 800:1) was much lower than that in the sham injury group (25000:1). Furthermore, the plasma IL-6 level increased evidently in the scalding group. It was indicated by further analysis that compared with the rats without bacterial translocation, the bifidobacteria decreased 120 fold, the fungal number increased 50 fold and the E. coli number increased 30 fold in the scalded rats. The bifidobacterial number in the caecal mucosal microflora was negatively correlated with the plasma concentrations of IL-6 and LPS (P < 0.01) in the scalding rat group, and the plasma concentration of IL-6 was significantly and positively correlated with that of LPS. Severe scalding injury could lead to an the imbalance of intestinal microflora and the increased intestinal translocation of bacteria and LPS. The decrease of the ratio and number of bifidobacteria in the caecal mucosal microflora might be a contribute to the occurrence of postburn intestinal bacteria/endotoxin translocation.
Article: [The protective effects and its underlying mechanism of 2,4-diamino-6-hydroxy-pyrimidine on postburn Staphylococcus aureus sepsis in rats].[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To investigate the protective effect and its underlying mechanism of 2,4-diamino-6-hydroxy-pyrimidine (DAHP), an inhibitor of GTP-cyclohydrolase I (GTP-CHI), on postburn Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) sepsis in rats. Fifty-six Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups, i.e. normal control, scalding control, postburn sepsis group and DAHP treatment group. Tissue samples from liver, kidneys, lungs and heart were aseptically taken, and in which the GTP-CHI and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) contents and the mRNA expression of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFalpha) were determined. Furthermore, biopterin (BH(4)) and nitric oxide (NO) levels in these tissue were also measured. After the scalding injury followed by bacterial challenge, the GTP-CHI gene expression and biopterin levels were significantly increased in all tissue sampled, and so were iNOS mRNA expression and NO (P < 0.01), especially in liver and lungs. The expressions of GTP-CHI mRNA and iNOS mRNA and the production of BH(4) and NO in all tissue were evidently inhibited by the pretreatment with DAHP (P < 0.05 approximately 0.01). At the same time, the TNFalpha expression was also obviously decreased. In addition, The mortality at 6 hr in rats of DAHP treatment group was decreased. The prognosis of the scalding rats complicated by sepsis caused by G(+) bacteria could be improved by DAHP pretreatment, which might be related to the inhibition of the production of BH(4) and NO by DAHP.
Article: [The change in CD14 mRNA expression in rats with scald injury and Staphylococcus aureus challenge].[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To investigate the potential role and changes in CD14 in postburn Staphylococcus aureus sepsis. Wistar rats were subjected to a 20% total body surface area (TBSA) full-thickness thermal injury and followed by Staphylococcus aureus challenge. Plasma and tissue samples from liver, kidneys, lungs and heart were collected to determine endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide, LPS) levels and CD14 mRNA expression. It was found that after thermal injury combined with Staphylococcus aureus sepsis, LPS levels in various tissues were markedly increased, peaking at 2 approximately 6 h (P < 0.05), then returned to baseline at 24 h. Plasma LPS level was also increased significantly at 2hrs after Staphylococcus aureus challenge compared with that in normal control animals (0.3056 EU/ml vs. 0.1250 EU/ml, P < 0.05). In addition, the intestinal diamine oxidase (DAO) activity decreased (P < 0.05). This indicated that the integrity of intestinal mucosa was damaged. Meanwhile, tissue CD14 mRNA expressions were up-regulated in all tissues (P < 0.05), especially in lungs. These data suggested that gut-originated LPS translocation and CD14 mRNA expression could be induced by thermal injury with Staphylococcus aureus sepsis. The up-regulation of CD14 gene expression might be associated with the local endotoxin activation secondary to postburn sepsis.

All today's action from the Royal London One-Day Cup, including a star turn from Eoin Morgan and Kent and Somerset going blow-for-blow in a Taunton blockbuster.
By Will Jackson and Dominic Farrell
8.15pm - That's all from us today, where there's been high-scoring exploits and lower total cliffhangers in the Royal London One-Day Cup. Here's a summary of how the games played out across Groups A and B.
Gloucestershire (233) beat Hampshire (198) by 35 runs at Bristol, Jack Taylor starring with figures of 4-38 for the home side.
The game between Worcestershire (261) and Derbyshire Falcons (37/0) at New Road was abandoned due to rain, denying Derbyshire the chance of maintaining their 100 per cent record in the competition.
Leicestershire Foxes (142) beat Essex Eagles (108) by 34 runs at the Essex County Ground as Charlie Shreck, Anthony Ireland and Shiv Thakor ripped through the Eagles in pursuit of a seemingly small total.
Durham (265/5) beat Warwickshire (264) by five wickets at Gosforth despite a fine century by Jonathan Trott for the visitors.
Middlesex Panthers (292/4) beat Surrey (286/6) by six wickets at Lord's as Eoin Morgan put on a masterclass on his way to 128 not out.
Kent Spitfires (383/7) beat Somerset (371/8) by two runs on the Duckworth/Lewis method at Taunton, as centuries from Sam Northeast and Sam Billings ultimately proved decisive in a high-scoring thriller.
7.48pm - RESULT! Leicestershire Foxes (142) beat Essex Eagles (108) by 34 runs at the Essex County Ground. Shreck removes Phillips for 27, with Styris the catcher once more. The veteran New Zealander's 44 not out went a long way towards helping the Foxes towards a total that barely looked defendable. But Shreck, Ireland and Thakor ripped through the home side before Phillips belatedly made himself their top scorer.
Ridiculous game of cricket! Even more ridiculous from @sambillings #striking
— Daniel Bell-Drummond (@deebzz23) July 31, 2014
7.31pm - Tim Phillips has decided Essex are not going to die wondering. He's 23 not out having blasted a six off Jigar Naik in the previous over. Essex need 39 more.
7.20pm - David Masters departs for a duck, picking out Matt Boyce at short midwicket off Charlie Shreck. Last man Matt Salisbury is at the crease with a seemingly unlikely 54 still needed.
7.03pm - Thakor is in the middle of an inspired and very possibly match-winning spell. Foster is caught by Scott Styris at mid-on for 18 and Essex need something special from their tailenders now if they're going to pull this off.
WICKET | It's another big one - Napier is lbw to Thakor without scoring. Eagles 72-7
— Leicestershire CCC (@leicsccc) July 31, 2014
6.50pm - Shiv Thakor pins ten Doeschate lbw for 24 and Essex are 71 for six.
@Middlesex_CCC Congratulations well batted gentlemen @Eoin16 @dexy214 pic.twitter.com/NspRa8vSFz
— matt bright (@mattbrightphoto) July 31, 2014
6.42pm - Ryan ten Doeschate and James Foster have put on 34 for the sixth wicket at The Essex County Ground. The Eagles need 76 more for the win and could do with those two sticking around.
WICKET Ravi Bopara hits the first ball after the resumption for 4 and is then bowled by Charlie Shreck for 11. 34 for 5. #EssvLei
— Essex Cricket (@EssexCricket) July 31, 2014
6.16pm - RESULT! Kent Spitfires (383/7) beat Somerset (371/8) by two runs on the Duckworth/Lewis method at Taunton. Somerset fall agonisingly short despite Groenewald and Thomas' heroics as only a leg-bye was possible from the final delivery. Big centuries from Sam Northeast and Sam Billings looked like handing Kent a resounding victory but they were made to sweat in a thrilling Taunton run-fest.
6.15pm - Eleven runs come from the first five deliveries of Claydon's final over, with a boundary for each batsman. Four needed from the last with half centurion Groenewald on strike…
6.10pm - Regardless of the result, this has been a sensational stand from Groenewald and Thomas. They have 47 and 43 respectively, with 15 runs needed from the last over.
6.03pm - Groenewald has three fours and a pair of sixes, while Thomas has found the ropes six times. Three fours arrived in the 46th over and Somerset need 28 with 12 balls remaining.
Superb win! Bring on Leicestershire next Tuesday! Tickets are available via the website. pic.twitter.com/4kUvd5JKEO
— Gloucestershire CCC (@Gloscricket) July 31, 2014
5.54pm - Somerset are now eight down but have Tim Groenewald and Alfonso Thomas providing some typically lusty blows. They've put on 44 from 26 deliveries; their side need 61 more from 27.
5.39pm - RESULT! Middlesex Panthers (292/4) beat Surrey (286/6) by six wickets at Lord's. It looked like Surrey had set an imposing total thanks to Tillakaratne Dilshan's century and fifties from Vikram Solanki and Azhar Mahmood, but it ended up being the Eoin Morgan show at HQ. A blistering 128 not out from 86 deliveries containing 13 fours and five sixes showcased one of the world's finest limited-overs batsmen at his very best.
5.37pm - RESULT! Gloucestershire (233) beat Hampshire (198) by 35 runs at Bristol. Taylor bowls Will Smith to finish with 4-38 as Gloucestershire follow up Tuesday's win over Yorkshire Vikings with another triumph. Earlier, Will Tavare starred with a 78-ball 77.
5.35pm - RESULT! Durham (265/5) beat Warwickshire (264) by five wickets at Gosforth. Jonathan Trott's century for Warwickshire was ultimately in vain as a fine team display, led by Paul Collingwood's 77, saw Durham home.
WICKET Jesse Ryder caught at mid-on from what is the last ball before the interval. Essex 29 for 4 in the 7th over. Ravi Bopara 7 not...
— Essex Cricket (@EssexCricket) July 31, 2014
5.28pm - Alex Barrow is through to 51 not out from 41 balls. So long as he and Craig Overton are together, Somerset will feel they have a shot.
5.26pm - Century for Eoin Morgan, who follows a maximum in reaching three figures by hitting a pair of fours and another six. The England international is wasting little time in securing what looks like a certain win for Middlesex now.
5.24pm - Collingwood is caught in the covers by Varun Chopra off Oliver Hannon-Dalby for 77. Durham need 14 off 33 balls.
Danny Briggs is bowled by Will Gidman and Gloucestershire are on the brink.
5.22pm - RESULT! The game between Worcestershire (261) and Derbyshire Falcons (37/0) at New Road is abandoned due to rain. The elements win in Worcester, unfortunately, with both teams taking a point apiece.
5.16pm - Jack Taylor has a third wicket, trapping Chris Wood lbw to make Gloucestershire heavy favourites.
5.14pm - Anthony Ireland takes two wickets in an over and Essex are in a bit of a tangle on 10 for three. Tom Westley and Greg Smith are the men back in the shed. That victory target of 143 could prove a little trickier than it first looked.
Wicket! Gregory b Cowdrey 35. Somerset 211/6 (33.3 overs) #SOMvKEN
— Kent Cricket (@kentcricket) July 31, 2014
5.09pm - Collingwood cracks Ateeq Javid for six to bring up his half-century. Four more off Rankin in the next over keeps up Durham's momentum and they are heavy favourites, with 40 needed from 49 deliveries and six wickets in hand.
5.04pm - Gloucestershire reignite their chances with two wickets in as many overs. Liam Dawson and Tom Alsop pick an incredibly inconvenient time to be run out and Hampshire are 172 for seven. They need 62 from 56 balls.
WICKET Mark Pettini caught at slip off Anthony Ireland for 1. 3 for 1 in the 2nd over. #Essvlei
— Essex Cricket (@EssexCricket) July 31, 2014
4.47pm - Calum MacLeod falls four runs shy of a half-century, but with Paul Collingwood he has put Durham in an excellent position to win the game. They need another 80 runs for victory.
Napier has his five-for, dismissing Charlie Shreck to complete a remarkable collapse for the Foxes. They lost their final five wickets for 21 runs, finishing on 142 all out.
They're still off at New Road by the way, where the rain is getting heavier. Derbyshire would have fancied a win from the position they were in, not a nice way to lose your 100 per cent win record - although it has not been called off yet.
4.41pm - Sean Ervine goes and Matt Coles is bowled by Benny Howell first ball. With 84 needed and five wickets in hand, the game is in the balance but the home team will fancy themselves from here.
Napier does for Anthony Ireland this time. Will Styris be stranded at the other end?
The dangerous Colin Ingram has been dismissed by Mitchell Clayton, a big blow to any distant hopes the home team were still harbouring. A very good performance by the Spitfires.
Hampshire 150-4 after 34 over.s Ervine brilliantly run out by Tavare 23. Smith 19 not out. 84 more needed from 16 overs.
— Gloucestershire CCC (@Gloscricket) July 31, 2014
4.30pm - New Leicestershire skipper Scott Styris is the only man who's putting up any real resistance at the Essex County Ground. Tom Wells is bowled by Graham Napier, and the same combination does for Jigar Naik two balls later, the visitors have been reduced to 134 for eight.
Somerset batsman James Hildreth can't repeat his heroics from Sunday after being trapped lbw by James Tredwell for just three.
Wicket! Compton b Stevens 56 Somerset 131/3 in the 21st #SOMvKEN
— Kent Cricket (@kentcricket) July 31, 2014
4.08pm - Hampshire's Adam Wheater is caught on the boundary for 30, Durham's Ben Stokes and Leicestershire's Dan Redfern have also fallen relatively cheaply.
Ryan Higgins is the latest man to fall for Middlesex, caught and bowled by Zafar Ansari for 16. The hosts are 126 for four.
3.49pm - Nick Gubbins is run out by Gareth Batty and Middlesex will have to rebuild quickly.
At Durham Mark Stoneman gets to 50 and is bowled by Boyd Rankin straight away.
After a promising partnership Peter Trego has also been run out in cruel circumstances, after making 38 the Somerset batman was out of his ground at the non-strikers end when a deflection took the ball onto the stumps. The required run-rate is creeping up...
Adams (48) has been trapped lbw by Taylor. Hampshire are now 99-2, needing 135 runs to win from 30.5 overs. #RLODC
— Hampshire Cricket (@hantscricket) July 31, 2014
3.43pm - Tillakaratne Dilshan stars with the ball this time, removing Chris Rodgers for 42 at Lord's. Big wicket for Surrey, but the dangerman is making his way out to the crease...Eoin Morgan is the new man.
Leicestershire are 89 for five halfway through their innings.
The umpires will out to inspect the ground at 4.15pm at New Road.
WICKET: @colonel19 goes for 42, @calummacleod640 the new man in! 88-1...
— Durham Cricket Club (@DurhamCricket) July 31, 2014
3.10pm - Hampshire have made a good start as they chase 233, but James Vince has gone for 27. They are 65 for one after the powerplay.
Rain at New Road has forced Derbyshire off for the moment, and a good Middlesex start at Lord's has just been held back by the dismissal of Dawid Malan.
Durham have advanced to 58 without loss at the end of the powerplay.
3.00pm - Leicestershire are struggling on 57 for four. Phillips has picked up his second wicket and at the other end the ever-reliable David Masters has picked two up for himself.
It was nothing more than a passing shower at Taunton. Two overs have been lost and the revised target is 374, but Somerset have lost Marcus Trescothick in the very first over after taking 10 runs from the first three balls.
2.40pm - Greg Smith has been bowled by Tim Phillips from the final ball of the powerplay. Leicestershire are 46 for two.
There's a bit of rain around at Taunton, which means they won't be starting their innings on time. Not sure yet as to how long they could be delayed.
WICKET | O'Brien caught behind for 2 off Napier. 16-1 in the 5th
— Leicestershire CCC (@leicsccc) July 31, 2014
1.58pm - We're about halfway through the day so let's have a brief recap of what has happened so far.
Surrey have finished on 286 for six in 50 overs against Middlesex Panthers at Lord's. Tillakaratne Dilshan was the mainstay of the innings with 115, well supported at the end by Azhar Mahmood who blasted a quickfire 50.
Worcestershire recovered from a shaky start to reach 261 despite being bowled out by Derbyshire Falcons at New Road.
Warwickshire were also bowled out at Gosforth, they reached 264 thanks largely to Jonathan Trott against Durham. The England man made 106 before becoming one of John Hastings' five victims.
Some useful late order runs helped Gloucestershire make 233 against Hampshire. Will Tavare struck 77 and Benny Howell was left stranded on 43 not out as the hosts recovered from a shaky start.
There were centuries for Sam Northeast and Sam Billings as Kent posted a whopping 383 for seven. Billings made 135 from just 58 balls as the Spitfires demolished the Somerset attack at Taunton.
Century for Sam Billings!! Sam's 102* came from 46 balls including 11x 4s & 4x 6s #SOMvKEN pic.twitter.com/0YSaG3UnvZ
— Kent Cricket (@kentcricket) July 31, 2014
1.51pm - The Spitfires captain has gone for 132. His side are 323 for six with four overs to go.
Wicket - Hastings gets his 5th with Poysden bowled for 1. Warwickshire 254-8 after 48.1 overs #YouBears
— Warwickshire CCC (@CricketingBears) July 31, 2014
1.43pm - Benny Howell pushes the score up to 233 at Bristol before they lose their final wicket to the penultimate ball of the innings.
Azhar falls to Finn for 52 but he's done what he needed to and helped the score beyond 250.
Northeast becomes the second Kent player to post his highest one-day score today, but we have already earlier in the week seen that Somerset are a dangerous side with their hitting power. Will the Spitfires post a high enough total?
1.38pm - In the day's late start, Leicestershire Foxes have won the toss at the County Ground and will bat first.
Azhar has continued on his merry way despite the loss of fellow veteran Dilshan. His 50 has come from just 31 balls and at the perfect time for Surrey.
Elsewhere, Warwickshire's Rikki Clarke and Worcestershire's Joe Leach have perished in the search for quick runs.

1.32pm - Warwickshire's Jeetan Patel has gone at Gosforth but the big wicket of Dilshan has finally fallen. Panthers paceman Steven Finn gets his man but not before he has amassed 115.
Spitfires captain Sam Northeast has also passed 100.
Following Dilshan's century, Surrey have really kicked on with him and Azhar Mahmood. The pair have added 58 in the last five overs and are currently on 250 for four with five overs to go.
WICKET! Kohler-Cadmore is bowled by @yozza18 for 71 and Worcestershire are 219-6 (43.3) #WORvDER
— Derbyshire CCC (@DerbyshireCCC) July 31, 2014
1.24pm - Surrey Dilshan and Kent's Billings raise their bats to acknowledge the support of their teammates and the crowd, as they reach 100 and 50 respectively. The Sri Lankan has played within himself but the same cannot be said of the Spitfires wickekeeper who has faced just 25 balls.
Ben Stokes has got his first wicket, and it's an important one as Tim Ambrose is sent on his way for 70.
Gloucestershire are falling away in their first-innings effort, a couple of quick wickets leaves them on 205 for nine.
Expensive over from Tim G as Billings smashed 22 off it with 2 sixes, 2 fours and a two. He moves to 41 off 20. @kentcricket 218/5
— Somerset Cricket (@SomersetCCC) July 31, 2014
1.08pm - A couple of big wickets have fallen as the teams enter the final 10 overs. Tavare has gone for 77 and Trott's innings of 106 is finally brought to an end by Hastings.
Sam Billings found some form against Durham earlier in the week and has made another rapid start to his innings at Taunton today.
Taylor strikes to break the partnership at New Road. Whiteley is the man to go after making 53.
UPDATE: Whiteley also now gets his fifty from 44 balls with 5 fours and 2 sixes. Worcestershire 182-4 (38); Kohler-Cadmore 56* #WORvDER

12.57pm - While Moeen Ali was busy winning the Test for England, his county colleague Kohler-Cadmore advanced past 50 and is now well set to help post an intimidating total.
Trott has found some excellent form since his return to the county game. He has reached his second century of the summer at very nearly a run-a-ball.

12.37pm - Surrey's Rory Burns and Kent's Fabian Cowdrey have both fallen cheaply but Will Tavare has reached a half-century for Gloucestershire.
Gareth Roderick has been bowled by Danny Briggs to end a partnership of 42 with Tavare.
Worcestershire are taking their time to rebuild with Tom Kohler-Cadmore and Ross Whiteley, but the pair could be dangerous as the batting powerplay approaches.
12.27pm - Solanki has fallen to the part-time spin of Malan to leave Surrey on 142 for two.
12.17pm - Kent are very well placed to post a score in excess of 270, but they've lost a big wicket in Darren Stevens. He can be very dangerous at the end of the innings and Somerset will be delighted to remove him cheaply.
12.08pm - Tillakaratne Dilshan has been caught...but it was a no ball! Not enough fielders inside the circle, did the Sri Lankan know that? Using all his experience there. He and Vikram Solanki have both passed 50 as Surrey motor on.
50 for Trott off 58 balls, including six 4s. Warwickshire now 109-2 after 25 overs #YouBears
— Warwickshire CCC (@CricketingBears) July 31, 2014
12.01pm - Northeast has matched his junior partner in going past 50, albeit at a slightly slower rate. However, he has lost his partner Brendan Nash to the spin of Leach.
An excellent catch by Billy Godleman removes Alex Kervezee, Alex Hughes taking his first wicket.
Chris Dent holes out and is caught on the square-leg boundary for a breezy 37 and is quickly followed back to the changing rooms by the dangerous Will Gidman who has fallen cheaply.
11.48am - Bell-Drummond has gone, stumped off Jack Leach but not before he reached his highest List A score of his young career. Kent are 117-1 after 20 overs.
WICKET! Footitt fells Fell! Fell is caught by North for 23 and Worcestershire are 64-3 (15.5) #WORvDER
— Derbyshire CCC (@DerbyshireCCC) July 31, 2014
11.42am - Chopra can't keep his good form going. He's been trapped in front by John Hastings but Jonathan Trott is going quite nicely at the other end.
11.25am - A good start has been turned into a great start for Hampshire, Tomlinson has his second victim - Ian Cockbain - bowled to leave the hosts three down.
There's a first half-century of the day, and it's Bell-Drummond who has reached it in double-quick time, off just 37 deliveries. The team 100 follows shortly in the 15th over.
11.10am - Big wicket for Hampshire. James Tomlinson gets one through the defences of Michael Klinger and the skipper goes for 18. 45 for two at the end of the powerplay.
The promising young partnership of Daniel Bell-Drummond and Sam Northeast is off to a good start at Taunton. 58 without loss after 10.
Darryl Mitchell looked in good form for Worcestershire but he's been caught behind and Taylor has his second wicket.
Big over for @kentcricket as Bell-Drummond has a go at Lewis. Three 4s off it. 8 overs in 43/0
— Somerset Cricket (@SomersetCCC) July 31, 2014
10.54am - Golden-arm Matt Coles has the breakthrough for Hampshire. With his fifth ball of the game, he has Hamish Marshall caught for 15 after a fairly even start.
Warwickshire have struggled at the start but the in-form Varun Chopra is still at the crease, it's his partner who has fallen however, Will Porterfield goes to Graham Onions and they are 25 for one after eight.
10.40am - The Falcons' form continues as Tom Taylor removes Richard Oliver early on with the score still in single figures.
Steve Davies, bumped up to open the innings in the absence of Jason Roy, has been caught in the slips by Dawid Malan off Tim Murtagh. It's been a cautious start at Lord's, and around the country as a matter of fact.

The 160-page rule was ordered by Congress in 2007, and hospital officials have complained about the length of time the FDA took to issue the proposed rule, which didn't come out until last November. And some don't understand why full implementation will take another six years.
"What's good news is that it's out," says Amanda Forster, vice president of public relations for Premier healthcare alliance, a group purchasing and quality improvement organization representing 2,900 hospitals. "What's bad, though, is that it's an excessively long timetable. The real risk here is for patient safety."
"I'm scratching my head, trying to understand why the timetable for implementation in the rule is as long as it is. Frankly, it's shameful."
Forster explains that "whenever there's tainted food in the grocery store— peanut butter or broccoli—the FDA can issue a notice and say these food products are tainted, and within hours grocery stores comb through shelves and pull everything off to keep it out of circulation.
"We can't do that with medical devices."
But she notes that the process by which hospitals and doctors indicate which products were used with which patients is complicated.

This lip liner is not for everyone! But it is perfect for me, maybe it's perfect for you too. I am really fair and have really pigmented pink lips. Finding lip liners (and lipsticks for that matter) is always a huge chore for me because most liners will turn orange-y or coral on me so I wind up having this weird lipline that is too warm for the lipstick I'm wearing (this has been the case with Subculture, Stripdown, Hodgepodge, Oak, Whirl..). I realized I have to be on the lookout for something that has zero traces of yellow in it. And after a long search, this is it. It's grey. Seriously. Just grey. Seems very corpse-ish, but it's perfect if you are like me and find yourself lightening all your lipcolors with greys or taupes and needing everything very muted to get the right overall look. This is really perfect with a taupe-y nude and I even wear it with peachy nudes like Creme de Nude and it just works on me. This is also great with Viva Glam II. Works with pinks too, it has been a lifesaver for me. I have already repurchased-I use it with everything!

This is something I would never, ever purchase on my own if it wasn't recommended by my most trusted YT makeup gurus. I'm not into browns at all when it comes to lip colors, let alone cool, ashy, darkish taupe-browns like this one. Well I use it for a very specific purpose: I line my lips with it over absolutely anything. Nudes, pales, pinks, reds, plums, you name it - this suits every look. What I do is line/fill in my lips with my shade of choice (wether that be a neutral, a pink, a burgundy etc) and then lightly go over the previous outline with this. Due to its cool tones and complete lack of red, this somehow adds volume to the lips without that tacky overlined effect. I find I can alter my lip shape dramatically with this; when I use it on its own, I like to line my lips and then blend it out towards the center of the mouth with my fingers or a q-tip, just because it shows up a little dark otherwise. But again, after you've completed the look, i.e. added your pink or your nude or whatever, it really looks like your natural lip stops where you've lined it with Stone, and not a milimeter sooner. Forget about shiny glosses and concealer-like lipsticks - this is what will make your lips look fuller. Will repurchase.

Ladies, this liner is simply gorgeous, but you need to know how to apply it. As it's name suggests, it's a greyish mauve, on the darker side. But if you have an olive or darker complexion, it's perfect (most liners don't show up on my skin color). I've been using this baby for years and years and I ALWAYS get compliments. For best results, make sure you use a very sharpened pencil so you create a "finer" line, and go easy with the application -- too much pressure and you will look clownish. For a great runway look, pair it with a nude or neutral gloss or stick, and add a touch of highlight in the middle to give the illusion of a very full angelina pout. I actually only use it on my top lip, you can experiment with that.. I don't think they sell it anymore in stores, but you can get it from mac.com.

i love it, its a unusual color for me but i like it anyway.
its a grey brown with very little red in it, i actually also use it to fill in my brows (espresso eyeshadow is way to red for me).
when used as a lipliner i fill in almost my whole lips and leave just the middle bare. then i put lipstick over it, it looks somehow very voluptous on me this way, even if stone is a flat color.
i also use it on its own, i line my lips VEEERY slightly and blend it very well so that it looks natural :)
i think everyone should test it once or experiment with it, its a versatile color that can also be used for other things.

I don't like at all MAC lip liners I think they have very dry formula and it's quite difficult to blend them.This one the stone lip liner has one more disadvantage,it's the ugliest color I've ever seen.Has a strange taupe grey color and I don't want my lips to be grey.On the other hand I found a way to use this and believe it or not it's the best think I V ever found to fill in my brows.For me works very good that way,so good that I think I ll buy it again

Stone is the best lip liner ever! I was so sad that they discontinued it had a brownish/ greyish/ mauve color. It is the only lip liner than looks good with my medium skin/ high pigmented red lips/ black hair. Guess what ladies i found an dupe to mac stone lip liner in nyx 825 called 1000 years i wished i found it earlier i would not be spending 15 bucks for every stone lip liner.

I'm way too warm for this lipliner. It's a grey brown that fits nicely under nude lipglosses and lipsticks, though - a girlfriend of mine loves to wear this with Hue lipstick, and it works for her. For me, I look like I've come straight out of a casket.

Bush has had a tough second term in office. But I think history will be kinder to him than the opinion polls, at least in the past couple of years, have been. When the country looks back at Iraq and sees a standing, even if fragile, democracy, Americans will see that when they became impatient, Bush forged ahead. When they were ready to give up, he was undeterred. And as a consequence the Middle East has its first Muslim democracy, and a pro-American democracy to boot. The lesson of Iraq may well be: Thank God we didn't listen to those advocates of defeat on the left; if we had, it would have been Vietnam all over again.
The diplomat Clare Luce once wrote that history, which has no room for clutter, will remember every president by just one line. I'm not quite sure how Bill Clinton will be remembered: perhaps his only distinguishing mark will be the one that Paula Jones identified. As for Bush, he will go down in history as the president who refused to back down, and if staying the course in Iraq proves to be the right move, then Bush could be remembered as one of America's great presidents.

Anyone know of an app that would automatically sync new files when the network is connected?
For people using wired networks this would mean it would sync as soon as the cable is connected. For wireless users it would mean as soon as you come within range it would sync. I am aware of file sync programs such as FileSync http://www.fileware.com/products.htm but all that I have found require some sort of user intervention.
I found some VB code that monitors the connection status of an Ethernet adapter. Therefore, if nothing like this is available it shouldnt be to hard to write. Is anyone interested in something like this?
I'd like to see that VB code. I've been toying with this for a while. I would like to go wireless as well. My idea was to ping the server every few seconds, and when it stops timing out, wait a few more seconds, ping again to make sure, and then start syncing...The price of wireless stuff is coming down so much that it's almost practicle...

"If one more body-kitted, cut-spring-lowered, farty-exhausted Civic revs on me at an intersection, I swear I'm going to get out of my car and cram their ridiculous double-decker aluminium wing firmly up their rump."
i know this might sound stupid, but i could probably script it in mirc. it would have a timer that would check the status of a \\share every few seconds, and then once found, go through a loop that would check the files and copy ones that are necessary. it's really not that hard to do.
ghetto suitcase player: http://www.mp3car.com/usersites/nipkick
That is a whole program to monitor an network adapter. The part that is of interest is where it can detect the six connection states of the adapter.
Perhaps that can be combined with this file sync code to make an one program to handle everything.
The easiest way would just be to ping the machine you want to connect to, and if it responds, check for new files. You could do this is software (VB, VC++, etc...) or even in a batch file [maybe].
If anyone ever pulls off an automated solution, PLEASE let me know!

Right - try the Beta sync software I just wrote, just to show it can be done in VB in not a lot of time! The software checks for the connection via a tcp ip ping. The actual syncing of files hasn't been done yet (read: it's still in beta so I didn't include it). It allows you to run a program when the connection is made. Have a play around and let me know how you get on. All comments can be e-mailed to me on Andrew[nospam]@foggysoft.com (simply remove the [NOSPAM]). Bare in mind that this is still beta.

"With the click of a shutter I AM ABLE TO freeze a moment in time, preserve a family's history & ensure future generations will come to know their ancestors." (B. Forester).
My husband and I just love that quote because we all have those special moments in time that deserve to be captured and treasured, and we would love to be the photographers that help you capture & freeze those moments in your Life!
My husband and I have watched our boys grow over the years and as you can imagine, we have many memories of their early childhood. Photography has allowed us to capture some of them, and I have to say that it is just amazing how something as simple as a picture can bring back those cherished memories and so much more; reminders of how things used to be... to see the changes our boys have gone through... a great play in a game... a part in a school play, etc.
We are primarily natural light photographers - what, exactly, does this mean? It means that we use natural sun light when ever possible because it provides the best light for skin tones and everything else our eyes see.
Since it is our goal to give you the pictures you want, we like to work with you when creating the image you want. This begins with the initial communications, but nothing is ever set in stone. My husband and I have learned to adapt to changes, and we both strive to do what ever it takes to get the perfect shot. We are easy going by nature and enjoy what we do, so the sessions are more enjoyable for all.
Your Captivating Moments Photography specializes in portrait and lifestyle photography which includes Family, Newborn, Maternity, Baby, and Child sessions. Our studio can also be found within your home, your favorite place or at a special event. Our belief is that pictures are more meaningful when they are taken in places you already treasure. However, we also realize that the great outdoors isn't the perfect setting for all of our work, so we offer studio sessions within our home for our maternity, newborn, baby and senior sessions.

Which category does this go into???
Personally I think Segways are weird and they strike me as out of place on the playa. A 2 person MV in the shape of a turtle is OK by me. But I think these fall into the Segway category. And presumably will be an issue for the Rangers and DMV.

It's not often that three artists, all from unique walks of life and all with talent bursting at the seams, can come
together and form a power trio so quickly. The Chelsea Daggers have a one of a kind, organic sound that can best be
described as powerful.

"The Deal: Charlotte trio makes its thunderous live debut. The band's music is a no-bullshit approach to rock that pays tribute to '70s classic rock style without sounding dated — from "Three Dollar Angel" to "Tear It Off." The keyboards replace the need for bass while also allowing more depth to the high-end. As the performance wrapped up, I sat there thinking, "This was their first show?!?" Many bands that have been playing for much longer don't have the tightness in musicianship, strong songwriting or stage presence that this trio does. Charlotte has needed a kick in the ass like this for a while — adding a new dimension to the already existing rock scene."
