Picture: Robert De Niro - IWC And Tribeca Film Festival Celebrate 'For The Love Of Cinema' at Urban Zen - New York City, United States -...
Robert De Niro has opened up about the death of James Gandolfini, revealing he wishes the heavyweight The Sopranos star had been more healthy.
Gandolfini was reportedly in talks to join De Niro in the film Eating With the Enemy when he suffered a heart attack and died in Italy on 19 June (13), and now the Raging Bull star has spoken about the tragedy.
He tells DuJour magazine, "He was too young. I wish that he had been more maybe proactive about his health. I don't know what he did about that, but I wish he had been. It shouldn't have happened."

You mean with slicks? Or actual skinny 1.25- tires?
slicks I guess, 1.5 is the widest i;ve seen for road type tires.
I think i might get a set of road tires from my local bike shop... not slicks, but something a lil less knobby. then ill post pics. hows that?

The tires I use when I ride to the post office to get my mail, etc work wonderfully for that, and save me from eating the tread off of my nice knobby low pressure USB tires.. they also roll a lot faster with less resistance.

It has been just over 14 years since Sarah was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. She is now a sophomore in college attending the University of Wisconsin Eau Claire. She is enjoying her studies along with competing on the swim team. Her insulin routine remains constant with numerous daily blood tests along with several injections that help her maintain proper blood sugar levels. She will continue this regimen until research finds a better way to manage this disease. Or better yet A CURE!
There is good news, a cure for Type 1 diabetes is within reach. JDRF funding and its leadership is associated with most major scientific breakthroughs in diabetes research. JDRF funds a major portion of all Type 1 diabetes research worldwide, more than any other charity.
November 1st.........RIDE DAY……Nashville, TN!!!! We have been training and fundraising for this day all year. We look forward to joining all the other riders and will attempt to complete 100 miles in one day. Fundraising so far has included our annual garage sales. Though these are a lot of work, it gives us an opportunity to not only raise money for JDRF, but to bring awareness of Type 1 diabetes. We have many customers that attend our sale every year, many of which have a personal connection to diabetes. We receive many positive comments and support for what we are doing.
Paul has also started helping Kids in Kinship refurbishing used bikes to sell; they in turn pay it forward by donating their unsold bikes for us to sell. All of this is made possible with the ongoing donations of goods and bikes we receive throughout the year.
We are writing to ask for your support because each of us can make a real difference. Our goal is to continue to raise awareness surrounding Type 1 diabetes and we would love to be able to raise 8,000.00 this year to help in the aid of research.
Together, we can make the cure for diabetes a reality.
Sarah and we thank you in advance for your support.
All the best,
Paul and Candice

The Body Glove Women's Basic Short Sleeve Fitted Rashguard provides superior sun protection in a fitted, comfortable style.
Fits great
I bought for boating. I bought two one in pink and one in black love them both. The short sleeve one is easier to get on then the long sleeve one I bought. They are snug but not to tight. Can't wait to wear them out on the water. Would also recommend wearing a bikini top instead of a tanking or full swimsuit underneath. The rash guard dries fast but the swimsuit doesn't always especially under the rash guard.

Fits pretty true to size. I got an XL so it wouldn't be too clingy and it is what I wanted. It hangs a bit which is nice. cute
It's great!
I have had this for a while and it hasn't been torn or had to go through repair!!
Does the trick
Keeps me warm in the pool while playing water volleyball. Fits just right.

Use the size chart
I used the size chart to find my size. I normally wear a M or L top (in regular clothes, not rash guards), but the size chart indicated XL. It fits perfectly. Quality is good. I'm 5"11, 147lbs.

Not flattering at all!
It is too tight around the neck. Feels like you are being choked. The color makes all of your flaws stand out. Not flattering. I returned it.

Wegmans to sponsor 2010 LPGA major
Tuesday, November 17, 2009
RICHMOND, Texas – The big news out of the final player meeting of the year is that Wegmans will sponsor the LPGA Championship in Rochester, N.Y., next year, according to two sources with knowledge of the situation. The 2010 schedule will have 23 events, six before June. Last year the tour announced 31 events for 2009, though only 27 were played.
The Houstonian looked like a ghost town early Tuesday evening as the entire field gathered to get a sneak peek at the 2010 schedule and meet incoming commissioner Mike Whan.
The LPGA will make a formal announcement regarding 2010 Nov. 18 at 9 a.m. at Sugar Land City Hall. (Only the LPGA would decide to announce its schedule away from the golf course.)
It's strange having a Tour Championship with 125 players. Don't be surprised if that number goes down for 2010. There are two cuts this week. The field will be cut to low 70 and ties on Friday and then 30 and ties on Saturday.
An interesting side note: The Rolex Player of the Year race has three players still alive. Jiyai Shin, 2009 Rookie of the Year, holds the outright lead. Lorena Ochoa needs a third-place finish to overtake Shin while Cristie Kerr needs to win. Kerr would be the first American to win POY since Beth Daniel in 1994.

Hospice opened by boyband singer
/ News
A NEW £775,000 day hospice at St Luke's Hospice, Basildon, was opened by ex-boyband singer Scott Robinson and hospice chief executive Eileen Marshall.
The site at Nethermayne has activity areas and offices for extended day hospice care and out-patient clinics, a specialist physiotherapy service, a new library, information hub and improved complementary therapies and clinical facilities.
Scott, who found fame with boyband 5ive, and wife, Kerry, from Pitsea, opened the new build after winning £20,000 for the hospice on ITV's All Star Mr and Mrs.
They donated their winnings after Kerry's nan, Vera Mugrove, was cared for at the hospice in her final days.
Scott cut the ribbon which was followed by a balloon release, tours of the new building and tea and cakes in the hospice garden for guests.
Eileen Marshall, chief executive, said: "We are extremely grateful and thank everyone who worked so hard on this project, which will enable the hospice to take a significant step forward in helping more people."

2014 Religious Trends
Weightier Matters of the Law: Biblical Authority for Progressives
I encountered this problem afresh when I checked the context of the phrase that I had in mind for the title of this article—"weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and faith." The context is Matthew 23, a chapter consisting entirely of animadversions against the scribes and Pharisees (v. 33: "You snakes, you brood of vipers!").
My way of working with texts like these so as not to lose sight of the prophetic Jesus is to make it clear at the outset that the overlay of anti-Judaism is a real problem, that these texts are, in their own way, also "texts of terror." But I don't just leave it there. I extract the underlying principle about Jesus challenging all rule-bound outward religious observance. I tell Christian audiences to try to imagine Jesus excoriating moralistic Christians when he uses terms like "blind guides" and "whited sepulchers."
Having to extract the core meaning while rejecting unhelpful accretions returns us to the main dilemma facing progressives. Sooner or later we will make our own decisions about which parts of the biblical testimony hold ultimate authority for us. But this is never a solo decision; it is one made within a company of believers engaged with each other, with the texts, and with the Spirit. When traditional readings of a given text are rejected, it will never be a matter of believing whatever we want but it will be a respectful and reasoned rejection whereby the authority of a given text is judged by the example and teaching of Jesus and not the other way around.
For me the Bible's main message will always be a message of exodus and liberation, it will always be the call for a jubilee of justice in the face of dehumanizing systems. And it will always be the invitation, and the caution, to "walk humbly." That last bit has nothing to do with shying away from courageous proclamation of good news to the poor. But it does mean doing so with the knowledge that while we can say with confidence what it is that God desires—justice and mercy—we can never say with final authority what God is ultimately like apart from the reflection we get in the face of Jesus.
In this respect progressives inherit more than a purely apophatic theology—an approach to talking about God that eschews all positive affirmations. If I may borrow an old expression, we progressive Christians still affirm that God "condescended" for the sake of giving us important information. Jesus is that information, that still-blazing North Star, and his words and example will always comprise a quite sufficient guide for how to live and how to love.
Rev. Peter Laarman is an ordained UCC minister and long-time activist in progressive Christian circles. He was senior minister of New York's Judson Memorial Church between 1994 and 2004, and prior to his retirement last December he headed LA's Progressive Christians Uniting, a network of congregations and individuals committed to rooting redemptive social action in progressive theology. Peter is currently volunteering his time as project coordinator for a PCU-initiated project on race and mass incarceration.

Additional Information
Important InformationAbout Asociación Arariwa
Asociación Arariwa is a large non-governmental organization that started offering microcredit in 1994 to improve the quality of life, skills and equity of the population in the rural Cusco region of Peru. Arariwa serves the southern Andean provinces of Peru, and is distinguished by its efforts to reach the very poor, who often live in isolated rural areas. Arariwa fosters village banking, supports savings accounts, promotes access to education, and empowers women entrepreneurs (who make up 78% of its borrowers).
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

The Patagonia region
Surrounded by the Andes, in the province of Neuquen, San Martin de los Andes village is the vacation resort chosen by those who are looking for the magical and cozy atmosphere of a typical mountain village.
At a two-hour flight from Buenos Aires, San Martin de los Andes and Chapelco Ski and Summer Resort are also visited by tourists from all over the world.
Hidden within the remote wilderness of Lanin National Park, you can enjoy a very diverse variety of activities.
San Martin de los Andes
From sunbathing in volcanic-sand beaches and windsurfing in Andean lakes; to fly-fishing in world-famous rivers and lakes, San Martin de los Andes allows to enjoy this, and everything in between. It brings not only to its inhabitants, but also to its tourists, a privileged quality of life.
It has uncountable beauties. Hills; cascades; natural springs of waters rich in minerals; pictographs and ancient forests that can be visited by car, horse, mountain bike or simply on foot.
Lacar Lake, surrounded by forests of Pellin (the Argentine version of Oak tree), Lenga, Coihues and Nires, is the most unique frame for field trips and the practice of water sports.
And for those who are after more action, Hua Hum River (born of Lacar Lake with waters flowing into the Pacific Ocean) offers the possibility of running mildly challenging white waters.
Caleufu, Quilquihue, Malleo and Chimehuin rivers are but a few examples of fly-fishing lovers' most favorite places. The dominant species are brown, rainbow and brook trout.
During the winter, Chapelco Ski Resort offers a wide variety of winter sports, and has been traditionally known as the "family ski-resort".
During the summer it becomes a paradise of wild flowers for those who enjoy horseback riding, mountain biking, hiking, golfing, bird watching and the practice of archery.

Conan O'Brien is the comedian who became host of the flagship American late-night TV show, NBC's The Tonight Show, in 2009, then agreed to leave the show in a messy breakup in 2010. Conan O'Brien got his start in comedy as a student at Harvard, editing the prestigious satirical mag The Harvard Lampoon. Several jobs later he became a writer and producer for the hit TV comedy The Simpsons. That's where he was when Lorne Michaels plucked him from relative obscurity and made him the host of NBC's show Late Night in 1993. Lanky, red-haired and puckishly ironical, Conan O'Brien replaced David Letterman in the time slot following the long-running hit The Tonight Show, then hosted by Jay Leno. O'Brien was a success and became known less for celebrity chat than for his screwball gags on all kinds of topics, from his alleged resemblance to red-haired Finnish president Tarja Halonen to a fictional Web celebrity called the Horny Manatee. Late Night With Conan O'Brien ran from 12:30-1:30 am for nearly 16 years, until 2009, when O'Brien became host of the The Tonight Show, which runs from 11:30 pm - 12:30 am weeknights on the network. O'Brien's ratings were low (due in part to bad ratings from a nightly show Leno started hosting at 10:00 pm), and after a turbulent month of wrangling in January 2010, O'Brien agreed to an NBC buyout of a reported $32 million, plus another $12 million for his staff, to leave The Tonight Show and let Leno return as its host. Leno reclaimed the show in March of 2010, and Conan O'Brien announced the next month that he would begin a new late-night show on cable channel TBS. That show launched in November of 2010. In 2014, his contract was renewed for four more years, through the year 2018.
Conan O'Brien's bandleader on his NBC show, Max Weinberg, also drummed for rocker Bruce Springsteen… Conan O'Brien married ad executive Liza Powel on 12 January 2002; they have a daughter, Neve, born on 14 October 2003, and a son, Beckett, born on 9 November 2005… Conan O'Brien is a cousin to comedian Denis Leary… Other past editors of the Harvard Lampoon include Doug Kenney and Robert Benchley.

Stamp Collecting is Fun!
Stamp Collecting may start on a simple gift of stamps given to another person. This can give him the interest in becoming a stamp collector. He could also start collecting by considering it as a hobby.
Stamp Collecting Not An Investment
Stamps have been in and out of the media of late. In June an 1856 one cent British Guiana Magenta stamp fetched around $9.5 million at auction. The selling price no doubt put rare stamp investing into the media spectrum.
Stamp Collecting Prices
Stamps have been a ubiquitous part of everyday life. After all, stamps are one of the ingenious ways devised by the postal services in order to facilitate payment for the delivery of letters, mail equivalents, packets, and the like. Because of the ubiquity of stamps, it is inevitable that many indiv
Stamp Collecting Resources
Stamp collecting has a much larger body of literature and resources than most other hobbies. There are specialized stamp-collecting libraries, which are open as research facilities, and have handbooks and monographs numbering well into the thousands.
Stamp Collecting Tools And Supplies
One good thing about stamp collecting is that the tools and supplies for it do not cost a lot in comparison to taking up golf for example. Golfers can spend an amazing amount of money on new clubs, pitching wedges, putters, and other golf accessories.
Stamp Collecting Tools Required For Collecting
Thank goodness, stamp collecting is not as expensive to pursue as skiing or golf, where the tools and equipment can cost thousands of dollars. Plus ski and golf clothes can be expensive in their own right.
Stamp Distribution System Mess
The Inspector General of the U.S. Post Office says that the post offices stamp distribution is a mess. Commemorative stamps are failing to reach many of the post offices in a timely manner for distribution after the series is issued. The report states that Significant Improvements will be require
Stamp Fakes
You would have to question the sanity of people who choose to forge stamps. One only has to consider how many things have to be done to make a stamp look like the real thing.
Stamp Faking Versus Improving
In some hobbies, enhancing and older item is condoned and generally considered to be part of doing business. In stamp collecting it is considered to be unethical at the least if not outright fraud.
Stamp Globe Trotting
Over 260 countries issue postage stamps of one kind or another. As the world continues to change, with nations combining, breaking apart, or changing governments, the number of stamp issuing countries will always be in flux.

How to be a better home bartender: Gin and Tonic [RECIPE]
An aromatic gin and tonic
Joy Summers
As shadows stretch across the yard, a collection of over-achieving leaves are threatening to turn. Despite the season's late start, there are only so many warm days left to us. It's enough to cause distress, and there is no better restorative for those long, luxurious summer nights after a stressful day than the classic highball: gin and tonic. Suddenly it seems like there is an explosion of gins (to find a new one you like, check out the periodic table of gin at the new Marin in downtown Minneapolis). We once again sat down with master drink mixer Shawn Jones of Cafe Maude Loring Park to discuss how best to shake up this classic.
Jones becomes animated the more he talks about the myriad of mix-ins available for a gin and tonic. "A lot of bars are making their own tonic now. I think it was Dan Oskey at the Strip Club that was the first to do it, but now there are a ton of tonic options."
Shawn Jones prefers Bombay Sapphire and Bittermans for his strawberry mint gin and tonic

1.) He is a Muslim extremist disguised as president. Duh.
2.) He wants America to be a third world country. I had some corn beef hash yesterday and it tasted just like the shit they probably eat in Bangladesh. Coincidence?
3.) He is anti-colonialism, the greatest institution of all time (See: King Leopold, Algerian Civil War, apartheid).
4.) He is a dove on national security issues (For the sake of discussion, please don't Google "drones" or "drone strikes" or "military industrial complex under Obama").
5.) His father was Kenyan. KENYAN for Chrissakes!
This should have been called the Obama Bullshit List.
From a Republican standpoint, if you believe the shit list, you should be stoked. If Obama is all of these things, gets re-elected, and turns us into a third world country(which no one wants), we'll be electing Republicans for years after that. RIGHT?
I mean, has anyone ever talked to a democrat, or liberal who wished we were third world? Maybe Republicans interpret a president wanting a level playing field as wanting us to fall apart?
Well l feel Obama is none of these things you have stated
if he had of done any of this he would not be ipresident at this momnet
Well l would like ainterveiw with Obama to let him have his say on this
it is alright to have opinions but to have the proper proof he did any of this has to be shown for me to beleive all this
Well there is only one thing l beleive is that his side of the family was Kenyen

Cytoplasmic effects on agronomic traits -involving cytoplasmic and nuclear genomes of either different species or different cultivars - are well documented in wheat but have seldom been demonstrated in rice (Oryza sativa L.). To detect cytoplasmic effects, we introgressed the nuclear genomes of three indica cultivars - Guichao 2, Jiangchengkugu, and Dianrui 449 - into the cytoplasms of six indica cultivars - Dijiaowujian, Shenglixian, Zhuzhan, Nantehao, Aizizhan, and Peta. These 18 nuclear substitution lines were evaluated during the winter season of 2005 in Sanya, Hainan, China, and during the summer season of 2006 in Kunming, Yunnan, China. The effects of 6 cytoplasm sources, 3 nucleus sources, 2 locations and their interactions were estimated for plant height, panicle length, panicle number per plant, spikelet number per panicle, grain weight, filled-grain ratio, and yield per plot.
For five of the seven traits, analysis of variance showed that there were no significant cytoplasmic effects or interactions involving cytoplasmic effects. The effect of cytoplasm on 1000-grain weight was highly significant. Mean 1000-grain weight over the two locations in four of the six cytoplasms clustered close to the overall mean, whereas plants with Nantehao cytoplasm had a high, and those with Peta cytoplasm a low mean grain weight. There was a highly significant three-way interaction affecting filled-grain ratio. At Sanya, cytoplasms varied in very narrow ranges within nuclear backgrounds. Strong cytoplasmic effects were observed only at Kunming and in only two of the three nuclear backgrounds; in the Jianchenkugu nuclear background, there was no evidence of strong cytoplasmic effects at either location. In the Dianrui 449 and Guichao 2 nuclear background evaluated at Kunming, filled-grain ratios of the six cytoplasms showed striking rank shifts
We detected cytoplasmic variation for two agronomically important traits in indica rice. The cytoplasm source had a significant effect on grain weight across the two experimental locations. There was also a significant cytoplasmic effect on filled-grain ratio, but only in two of three nuclear background and at one of the two locations. The results extend our previous findings with japonica rice, suggesting that the selection of appropriate cytoplasmic germplasm is broadly important in rice breeding, and that cytoplasmic effects on some traits, such as filled-grain ratio, cannot be generalized; effects should be evaluated in the nuclear backgrounds of interest and at multiple locations.
Reductions in genetic diversity are of major concern to breeders, geneticists, and the agricultural community in general. In many crops, genetic improvement is usually associated with reduced genetic diversity in the gene pools used to develop the new cultivars, despite the fact that genetic uniformity is believed to increase the potential vulnerability of the crop to biotic and abiotic stresses [1].
The genetic base of cultivars of rice is narrow because of the long history of domestication and genetic improvement. Pedigree analysis indicates that the genetic diversity of indica irrigated rice in China depends on a genetic core derived from the varieties Aizizhan, Nantehao, Shenglixian, Peta, and Dijiaowujian [2]. Between three and six sources of genetic material per location have used by breeders of japonica rice cultivars in China [2, 3], Japan [4], Brazil [1], Senegal [5], and the United States [6], with the cultivars Reimei and Xinan 175 being used as source material at more than one location.
The cytoplasmic genetic base of improved cultivars of rice is also narrow. The WA (wild abortion) cytoplasm makes rice plants male sterile, facilitating the production of cultivars of hybrid rice [7], which explains why 90% of Chinese cultivars of hybrid rice have WA cytoplasm [2]. The situation is similar for cultivars of indica rice: most IR varieties--developed by the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI)--trace to the same maternal parent, Cina, implying that components of their cytoplasm are the same [8]. Cina, which has same cytoplasm as the cultivar Peta, is the ultimate maternal parent of 75% of the new (post-IR8) varieties in Sri Lanka, 74% of those in Indonesia, 62% of those in Bangladesh, 60% of those in Korea, 50% of those in the Philippines and 25% of those in Thailand [9]. Eight out of 11 common irrigated varieties in Latin America in the late 1980 s had Cina as a maternal source [10]. Cytoplasms of Aizizhan, Nantehao, Shenglixian, and Cina accounted for 66% of the cytoplasm for 529 indica cultivars developed between 1950 and 1984 in southern China [11]. Among 40 diversified cytoplasm resources, cultivar 63-83 was the cytoplasm donor to 60% of upland rice varieties released by the Research Institute for Tropical Agriculture and Food Crops (IRAT) in China [5]. Four of the five main sources of nuclear genetic material in U.S. rice cultivars -- Rexoro, Caloro, Colusa, and Blue Rose -- were also used as core cytoplasm sources in the U.S. [12].
In wheat, another crop with a narrow germplasm base narrowed by centuries of breeding, cytoplasmic effects have been demonstrated using both alloplasmic sources (from related species) [13, 14] and euplasmic cytoplasm (from other wheat cultivars) [15–17]. Using reciprocal crossing, maternal effects have been reported for several traits in rice, including low temperature tolerance [18], grain weight [19, 20], protein content [21, 22], chalkiness [23], milling quality traits [24], panicle number [25], plant regeneration rates [26], hybrid vigor [27, 28], and crossability [29].
Research on direct effects of rice cytoplasm has mostly been a quest for cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) and fertility restoration genes [8]. Compared to the amount of research reported on nuclear effects, the cytoplasmic effect on important agronomic traits in rice has been only sparsely studied. The few reports on maternal effects mentioned above used a reciprocal crossing method. However, this method is not the optimal way to dissect independent cytoplasmic effects because the F1 progeny of reciprocal crosses inherit nuclear genetic information from both parents. Therefore, in order to isolate a purely cytoplasmic effect, additional crosses using the same maternal lineage must be made [30]. After 10 backcrosses to the male parent of an F1 hybrid, the proportion of progeny that are heterozygous at any individual locus is 1 in 1024. In plants developed this way, 99.9% of the nuclear alleles are expected to be derived from the male parent used in the original cross, while the cytoplamic DNA and approximately 0.1% of the nuclear alleles are derived from the female parent used in the original cross. Using recurrent backcrosses to create nuclear substitution lines, we previously reported a purely cytoplasmic effect on yield, width of flag leaf, and low temperature tolerance in japonica rice [31]. To estimate true cytoplasmic effects for indica rice, 18 BC10F2:3 lines were constructed by using 6 core parents of indica rice as female parents crossed with 3 recurrent male parents. Herein we report the finding that cytoplasm and its interaction with the nuclear genome and environment can affect grain weight and filled-grain ratio in indica rice.
Analysis of data from 18 lines representing all combinations of 6 cytoplasms and 3 nuclei and grown at two locations showed highly significant (P ≤ 0.001) nuclear effects for all seven traits investigated (analyses of variance not shown). The location effect was also highly significant for panicle number per plant, spikelet number per panicle, filled-grain ratio, panicle length, and plant height, but not for 1,000-grain weight (grain weight) and yield. These results indicate that the nuclear genome was a major factor in expression of important agronomic traits, while most traits were also affected by location.

The highly significant effect of cytoplasm on grain weight was consistent with the results of Chandraratna in 1960 [14] and Somrith in 1979 [15], who used the reciprocal crossing method to show that the cytoplasm affects grain weight. Both the nuclear substitution method (ours) and the reciprocal crossing method (Chandraratna's and Somrith's) showed that cytoplasm or cytoplasm-nucleus interactions affected grain weight, which is a major component of yield and grain quality in rice production.
In our experiment, the location effect alone was non-significant for 1,000-grain weight, but there was a highly significant (P ≤ 0.001) effect due to interaction between location and nuclear effects (Table 1). These results--showing that the change of grain weight in rice was mainly dependent on the effect of both cytoplasm and nucleus, while the location exerted an effect via interaction with the nucleus--were consistent with the conclusions of Pham [32]. This strongly suggests that in future rice breeding, genetic studies, and germplasm resources research, the role of cytoplasm should receive more attention.

At Kunming, filled-grain ratios associated with the six cytoplasms showed striking rank shifts in Dianrui 449 and Guichao 2 nuclear backgrounds (Figure 1, top and bottom). The mean for lines with Peta cytoplasm, for example, was in the lowest group of lines with the Guichao 2 nuclear genome, but Peta cytoplasm exhibited the highest filled-grain ratio. Lines with Shenglixian cytoplasm showed the opposite pattern to that of Peta, being in the top group in the Guichao 2 nuclear background while ranking lowest in the Dianrui 449 background.
The cytoplasmic-nuclear interaction based both locations for the rest traits, which were plant height (cm), panicle length(cm), panicle number per plant, spikelet number per panicle, 1,000-grain weight (g) and yield per plot (kg), shown in Additional Files 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7.
Cytoplasmic variation represents a largely unexplored genetic resource for indica rice breeding programs, and exploitation of all available genetic resources is seen as necessary for avoiding a future cereal "yield plateau" [33]. Increased grain weight is one way to increase sink strength, which itself is a means of increasing cereal yield potential [34]. Although the nuclear effect for grain weight was larger than the cytoplasmic effect in this study (Table 1), nuclear genetic variation for grain weight is small compared with that for other agronomic traits [35]. The six core cytoplasms of indica rice were evaluated in this study. Evaluation of germplasm collections may reveal that other cytoplasmic sources not studied herein are superior for increasing indica rice grain weight.
Rice breeders are already interested in diversifying the cytoplasmic base of cultivar development programs to reduce the chance of disease epidemics. The vulnerability of cytoplasmic uniformity was illustrated in the classic case of Southern corn leaf blight caused by Helminthosporium maydis. An epidemic of the blight in 1970 devastated the U.S. maize crop because a disease-susceptible cytoplasm had been widely used in the development of male-sterile. Rice is similarly vulnerable, as demonstrated by the fact that WA cytoplasm affects the expression of bacterial blight reaction significantly [36] and is more seriously infected by blast isolate 90-2 than are its maintainers [37]. The discovery that cytoplasmic diversity affects other agronomic traits (both positively and negatively) makes it essential that cytoplasms being evaluated for disease resistance and CMS also be carefully evaluated for effects on other traits such as grain weight and filled-grain ratio.
The significant interaction effects we found between cytoplasm and nucleus and/or location have important implications for breeding programs. If elite nuclei are substituted into different cytoplasms to utilize cytoplasmic genes for CMS, disease resistance or agronomic traits, the resulting alloplasmic lines must be thoroughly tested in all nuclear-cytoplasmic combinations at all target locations even if the original elite lines were locally adapted. On the other hand, perhaps cytoplasmic substitution could be a useful method for generating location-specific cultivars from elite lines without disrupting favorable combinations of nuclear genes, including transgenes.
Compared with nuclear genes, cytoplasmic genes played a modest but statistically significant role in determining grain weight and filled-grain ratio of indica rice lines. The cytoplasmic effect for grain weight was significant across locations but the effect on filled-grain ratio was significant only as an interaction with location or as an interaction with nuclei at one location. These results suggest that useful genetic variation for agronomic traits may be present in the indica cytoplasmic gene pool. The unpredictable--but not surprising--interaction of cytoplasm source with nucleus source and location for one trait in this study suggests that breeders should beware of assuming that a particular cytoplasm will be equally adaptive in all locations or that nuclei and cytoplasms can be substituted freely without extensive testing in each location. On the other hand, nuclei with elite combinations of genes for yield, grain quality or other traits could be substituted into a number of distinct cytoplasms in the hopes of finding combinations better adapted for particular locations than the original nucleus donor cultivar.
Six major cultivars of indica rice -- Dijiaowujian, Shenglixian, Zhuzhan, Nantehao, Aizizhan, and Peta -- were used as female parents in crosses with 3 other indica rice cultivars: Guichao 2, Jiangchengkugu, and Dianrui 449. The latter 3 cultivars were used as recurrent parents in 10 backcrosses to form BC10F1 nuclear substitution lines, which were then selfed to produce the BC10F2 generation. Plants from this generation were selfed and the seeds were bulked for planting four replicates at two locations.
Eighteen nuclear substitution lines of BC10F2:3 and their parents were sown on 5 November, and transplanted on 26 November, 2005, in Sanya, Hainan (November-April) for agronomic evaluation in the winter cropping season at a tropical location. Parental cytoplasm-nucleus combinations were excluded, in order to maintain a factorial design of six cytoplasmic genomes by three nuclear genomes. The traits measured were yield per plot (kg), 1,000-grain weight (g), panicle number per plant, spikelet number per panicle, filled-grain ratio (%), panicle length (cm), and plant height (cm). Plot size was 1.5 m × 2.5 m. Plant spacing was 15 cm between plants within a row and 25 cm between rows. The design was a randomized complete block with four replicates. The experiment was repeated at the Yunnan Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Kunming, from March to September 2006 for agronomic evaludation at a subtropical location. Cultural and management practices, including fertilizer applied (15 kg ha-1 of N, P, and K), were similar for both experiments at Sanya and Kunming.
Analysis of variance of the 6 × 3 factorial genetic design was used in order to determine in a single comprehensive analysis which among the seven traits were influenced by differences in the cytoplasmic genome and whether those effects depended on the nuclear background, the environment, or both. That preliminary information allowed us then to examine in more detail the differences and rankings of individual cytoplasms where significant differences occurred. Except for yield per plot, all data were from observations on 10 individuals selected randomly from each plot, and the plot mean was used in the analysis of variance. Fixed model analyses using type III sums of squares in SAS PROC GLM [38] were used to detect effects of nucleus, cytoplasm, and interaction between cytoplasm, nucleus, and location. For filled-grain ratio, arscin transformation of the ratio was performed before the analysis. If the three-way interactional effect among cytoplasm, nucleus, and location was significant for traits investigated, the least-squares means (LS-means) of fixed effects was employed to analyze the cytoplasmic effects within each location and nucleus. Duncan's multiple range test was used for multiple comparisons of the effect of cytoplasm and cytoplasm interaction with nucleus and location.
This research was funded partially by grants from the Yunnan Department of Science and Technology (2005C0011Z) and the National Natural Science Foundation of China (30360054). China National Rice Research Institute (CNRRI) and International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) supplied the plant materials. The authors thank all the investigators who contributed to this study.

a short while after we happily started lubing with E, I got a urinary tract infection and have since read numerous lists of suggestions for avoiding UTIs that all seemed to mention specifically using a water-based lubricant. I feel somewhat weird about asking my doctor this question, so I'm turning to you: are "natural" but non-water-based lubes such as vitamin E oil bad for one's inner girly parts, or have I wrongly linked a few coincidental events?
Gimme an E?
Dear E:
You're right that it could be a coincidence, but I'm betting it's not. I don't know what kind of carrier oil was used for the vitamin E, but whatever it is, your vagina probably doesn't know how to get rid of it. I completely agree that water-based lubes are essentially unsatisfactory, but luckily one does not have to reach for weird, random substances off the supplement shelf. What you want is a nice silicone lube, of which there are many. You can get them flavored if that's your scene, but most are taste- and scent-free, non-irritating, non-drying, and so slippery they are actually kind of dangerous and you really want to watch where you prop the bottle between applications. You will love them and you will thank me.

Seer of Blood by MarraphyWatch
©2013-2016 Marraphy
I've always wondered what blood players do. that and mages but that's a different story
bladekindeyewear.tumblr.com/ has some well thought-out theories regarding the classes / aspects if you wanna see what they think
that is really cool picture. Even though i am not much of a Kankri fan, I still really like the picture
I was listening to my playlist of music and I was listening to "Animal I Have Become" and I passed this picture. I got the idea of Kankri watching his friend's in a huge battle but because her's just a seer of blood he feels like he can't do anything. He collapses to the ground and just sort of snaps. He see's the blood and starts to manipulate it to his will. He so angry at every thing and every one he doesn't distinguish between the enemies and his friends. I don't know what else there it to it but yeah there you go.
I love this so much I'm going to cry ;u;
Kankri being awesome. Now there's something you don't see very often. XD Cool pose, too.
Woah that's so awesome!!!
I always liked his god tier. I wonder what a Seer of Blood sees.....
He could probably see things related to bonds/relationships, and responsibilities maybe. More literally, perhaps he can see when blood is spilled?
I've thought of that too after I took a test and got Seer of Blood :0
Interesting yet scary too. I wouldn't enjoy having visions of blood baths or something
Interesting yet scary too. I wouldn't enjoy having visions of blood baths or something
O_O Kabkri isn't really my favorite, even if he is really fun (especially when he "talk" with Karkat x'p), but wow now... I think I like him more than before !! *^*
Omg, that's great ! : D
I had the same revelation after seeing Eridan in God Tier haha

Uh-oh. i always hear about "Too Much Information" In this case, If it were me facing the Nun in high black boots and leather pointing an automatic weapon at me, i would sort of hope that she expounded on her warning just a wee bit. Cutting it off at "You Better Not" when you know she has access to divine insight does not give you a whole lot to go on for what you had better not be attempting to do next lest you get blown away. It might be the very act of thinking to yourself, "WOW! That is one hot, hot acolyte in hammered fishnet hose!" Which would be the very thing that sends you into a flurry of hot lead and eternal damnation.

Councillors are looking at a scheme to help householders tackle fuel poverty
Vivienne Nicoll, Local government correspondent / / News
A NEW council-backed scheme will help householders tackle fuel poverty and save money by switching their energy provider.
A recent survey estimates almost a quarter of Glasgow households suffer fuel poverty.
As a result, councillors are considering a new service which could help cut bills.
It will be run by G-HEAT and Citrus Energy which both offer home energy advice.
The organisations, which are both social enterprises, have come together to provide an impartial, independent energy switching advice service for individual households.
The service will take into account a household's circumstances when considering a switch to another utility provider.
G-HEAT and Citrus Energy will take care of the switching process for the resident and will call back six weeks later to check there have been no problems with the transfer.
A report to councillors says in the past, G-HEAT has secured significant financial savings for individual households.
There are also plans to amend an energy efficiency loan scheme set up by the council a year ago.
It was established to help owner occupiers fund energy efficiency improvements to their homes.
The scheme focuses on providing new boilers and connecting homes to the main gas network.
Promoted stories
Until now, owners have been able to access grants of up to £200 and loans of up to £2500 on an interest-free basis for up to three years.
The value of the loan fund is around £300,000 but recently there has been high demand, reducing the funding available to provide new loans.
As a result, council bosses are suggesting the maximum loan should be reduced from £2500 to £1500 except for homes which want to connect to the gas network.
And they are suggesting the fund should no longer provide grants of up to £200 as work of that value is generally provided free of charge by other organisations.
Liz Cameron, the council's executive member of jobs and the economy, said: "In an era of high energy prices, it is important the council provides support and advice for households of different types across Glasgow.
"I am confident the expanded energy efficiency loan scheme and the new energy switching service will prove to be invaluable for many people in the city."

Q: Dog Breeding
October 10, 2008 | By Alicia | 16 answers | Expired: 2666 days ago
My friend also has a teacup Yorkie and is interested in breeding. At what age can my teacup start having sex?

It sickens me someone would even ask this question.
Why would you ever breed an animal when millions are homeless and abused at this very moment in need of a forever loving home :(
It's saddening how ill-informed the public is and how close-minded some are...

I'm just going to end up telling you every thing they have told you. this may help you out

Teacups can have many complications when breeding since they are so tiny. If you are serious about breeding these animals, you should consult a vet to find out information. If the teacup can actually have puppies, etc. BEFORE YOU BREED, you should really check out the shelters! At liberty humane, right now, there is a yorkie, wire fox terrier, mini pincher, poodle mix etc. All these dogs were once puppies and now the owners got rid of them!!!
Thumbs Up: 0 | Thumbs up!
Oct 13, 2008
Please, please reconsider -- there are literally millions of animals euthanized in the U.S. every year -- simply because there are too many of them! And, even if you know you can find homes for your puppies, you'd still be taking a home away from someone who has already been born!!
Virtually every shelter in the country is suffering from over-crowding, under-funding and increasing expenses. Please reconsider bringing new animals into the world!
Thumbs Up: 0 | Thumbs up!
Oct 11, 2008
I sure hope you DO NOT even think of breeding your dog. Pleas go to you local shelter and look at all the animals that need a home. Please consider promoting adoption instead of buying or selling dogs.
Thumbs Up: 1 | Thumbs up!
Oct 11, 2008
I'm not going to get ugly BUT have you been to a shelter lately? Go check out ALL the unwanted animals, then ask yourself...do I REALLY want to breed MORE animals??
Thumbs Up: 1 | Thumbs up!
Oct 11, 2008
First off why do you want to breed? Dogs don't have to have a litter to feel fulfilled. Many medical problems can come up during both breeding and welping puppies and you do risk loosing the female and or the pups. Are you ready to hand raise a litter if something goes wrong? All these answered she should be at least two years old.
Thumbs Up: 2 | Thumbs up!
Oct 11, 2008
I agree with everyone else, don't breed these dogs.
Why breed or buy while homeless pets die ?
Please let us know that you are not that selfish.
Thumbs Up: 1 | Thumbs up!
Oct 11, 2008
I have to agree with everyone else. There are SO many dogs in shelters and rescues that need a good home. Why add to it? Although I'm sure these dogs are really cute, but there are a lot of cute dogs just like them in shelters and rescues. Please do the responsible thing and don't breed them AND get them spayed/neutered. Talk to your vet to find out the appropriate time to do this.

Alicia, everyone else is completely correct. Each morning in America, 20,000 dogs are put to death due to overpopulation. Your dog (and your friend's dog, as well) being "teacups" are smaller than Yorkies should be, and shouldn't be bred, according to the Yorkshire Terrier Club of America:
