Dear All.
So I saw that "Carolin01" and "peanutnation" were discussing transfection efficiency in SH-sy5y.
Ive transfected my SH-sy5y with LPS 2000 serum free and got a renilla act. about 20, which is not alot over background but high enough to see differences in Luciferase activity.
I was thinking about transfecting with an eletroporator, does anyone a any experience doing that in SH-sy5y.
Also I have tried to use Lipofectamine LTX and FuGene which didnt work for me.
All comments are appreciated.
THANK you!!!

SCENARIOS: Berkeley | Oklahoma City | Raleigh | Trenton
What's the most the teams in Raleigh can hope for, and what's the way they don't want the season to end?
Best case: Kristi Toliver shouts "layup!" each time she raises for a 3-pointer, Marissa Coleman averages a triple-double and Marah Strickland makes every 3 Toliver doesn't. The Terps score a bunch of points in the first two rounds and aren't really challenged. It gets tougher in Raleigh, but this time, Maryland prevails with more savvy and experience. Both come together perfectly in St. Louis, and Toliver and Coleman leave the way they came in: with a national championship.
Worst case: Toliver's propensity for slow starts emerges at the wrong time: the regional final against Baylor. The Lady Bears take advantage, and even a red-hot Toliver and fiery Coleman aren't enough to erase an early deficit. Baylor prevails and Maryland misses the Final Four.
Best case: Maryland forgets its white (home) uniforms. The Terps wear their (road) red, but are issued technicals to start. The Big Green grabs the early lead and the entire game looks a little like Christmas. But Maryland isn't in a giving mood and still wins.
Worst case: The Maryland equipment manager gets it right, everything is smooth for the Terps from the start, and Dartmouth players get heckled by the crowd for not being from one of the 14 schools in the tournament with a 100 percent graduation rate.
Best case: Laura Kurz scores 28 points and Villanova beats Utah 42-40. Harry Perretta is happy about the win, but frustrated that there is actually another team nearly as methodical as his. No such worries against Maryland, where his strategy of disabling the shot clock doesn't work.
Worst case: Kurz scores 28 points and Villanova loses to Utah 40-38. Harry Perretta is frustrated by the loss, but happy that he might have picked up a few tips from Utes coach Elaine Elliott on how to be even more deliberate.
Best case: The game against Villanova has the rhythm and tempo of a chess match but is captivating in the same intellectual way. Every bucket has so much more meaning and the lead is never more than four points either way. Ultimately, and just like her performances in the Mountain West tournament, Morgan Warburton just doesn't let the Utes lose.
Worst case: The game is so slow that ESPN starts to track time of possession. Mike Patrick refers to three straight baskets by Utah as a 6-0 walk. Ultimately, the NCAA officials on site make a rash decision at halftime. All the Maryland fans in College Park are getting restless, so it is determined that instead of the teams playing another 20 minutes, Kurz and Warburton will just play one-on-one to decide the winner.
Best case: Ashley Sweat scores, Marlies Gipson blocks shots and point guard Shalee Lehning does everything else as the Wildcats leave Albuquerque still alive, erasing a bit of the memory of last year's second-round loss. In fact, Lehning goes for a triple-double against Vanderbilt, and then everyone wants to know her miracle cure for mono.
Worst case: Sweat scores, but no else scores enough. Gipson blocks shots, but she can't get them all, and Lehning does everything else, but not in bunches. The rest of the Wildcats just don't help much, and Drexel takes advantage. The 12-5 upset is delivered
Best case: A professor at Drexel has developed a device that thins the air and coach Denise Dillon uses it in practice for two days to simulate the higher altitude in Albuquerque. It works to perfection and the Dragons have a little more energy than Kansas State all night. Still, it takes a near-flawless shooting performance from Gabriela Marginean, including 13-for-13 from the line, for Drexel to pull the upset.
Worst case: Turns out the device is just a humidifier. The Dragons spend two days practicing in wet air and three players get sick. Not at full strength, Drexel offers little resistance to Kansas State. The professor has a résumé over to LaSalle by the middle of the week.
Best case: The players know the hotel staff by name after having won two games in Albuquerque just last year, and a little extra fluff in the pillow doesn't hurt. The momentum from winning the SEC tournament championship sustains itself and Vandy gets to a second straight Sweet 16. Coach Melanie Balcomb immediately asks the SEC if the Dores can play Tennessee and Georgia at The Pit next year.
Worst case: Hannah Tuomi's stress fracture is still a problem, the SEC championship is a distant memory and Christina Wirth has to call room service three times to get some extra towels. Vanderbilt doesn't make it out of the second round and the players never want to see Albuquerque again, unless it's for the hot-air balloon festival.
Best case: Vanderbilt fans see Kellie (Jolly) Harper on the sideline and start to twitch. Seeing a former Lady Vol is too much for them. The Vandy faithful are virtually silent the entire game. Meanwhile, Brooke Johnson and Lauren Powell keep the Catamounts in the game nearly to the end before a valiant effort falls short.
Worst case: Three national championships as a player don't seem to help at all for the fifth-year Western Carolina coach. Even in silence, the Commodores execute flawlessly, get open shot after open shot and steadily take the Catamounts apart. Harper's phone starts to ring right after the game.
Best case: Allison Hightower hits so many running one-handers that Van Chancellor ties her right hand behind her back -- does she really need it? The young Lady Tigers continue the progress they showed in the final month of the season. While not good enough to make a sixth straight Final Four, LSU enjoy the home cookin' in the opening rounds enough to reach the Sweet 16.
Worst case: The offense becomes too much Hightower because no one else is willing. LaSondra Barrett goes MIA. Chancellor can only pump so much water out of an empty well. The Wisconsin-Green Bay pace is too frustrating for the inexperienced and impatient Lady Tigers. Home court means nothing and they get knocked off.
Best case: The confidence built up while compiling a 21-game winning streak bubbles over into the biggest game of the year. The veteran Phoenix are unfazed about playing in Baton Rouge. The deliberate offense and solid, tough-minded defense are why UW-Green Bay allowed the fewest points in the country this season. LSU is defensive-oriented too, but gets more impatient with each possession. UW-Green Bay doesn't waver from the plan. LSU does. The Phoenix win the war of attrition.
Worst case: Chancellor has coached in 15 NCAA tournaments. Matt Bollant has coached in none. The game is close and that matters. The experienced coach with the young players pushes just the right buttons at just the right time and outduels the young coach with the experienced players.
Best case: The Cardinals are disappointed by the No. 3 seed but downright ticked about being placed in Baton Rouge with LSU and not in Bowling Green, Ky. That anger fuels a we'll-show-you attitude that is the last ingredient in getting the Cardinals to the Final Four. In a matchup with Maryland in the regional final, Angel McCoughtry is the best player on the court.
Worst case: The Cardinals can't get the shellacking by Connecticut in the Big East tournament final out of their heads. Their confidence is shaken. Louisville still has enough to get out of Baton Rouge alive, but doesn't look good in the process. Then in the regionals against Baylor, McCoughtry gets no help. Candyce Bingham goes into a shell and Desereé Byrd can't make a jump shot. McCoughtry alone can't outduel Baylor's balance. Jeff Walz immediately goes to the NCAA eligibility rule book, looking for a loophole that would give McCoughtry one more year.
Best case: Louisville can't tell the Frazee sisters apart and it confuses the Cardinals' matchups. Megan, who averages a double-double, has a big first half and Liberty is in the game. To stay one step ahead in the second half, the sisters begin swapping jerseys during timeouts. Megan continues to get free with Moriah getting too much attention. Ultimately, Liberty can't stop the Cardinals enough and the Lady Flames lose, and the official scorer leaves with a headache.
Worst case: It never matters who's who because Louisville's pressure defense is too much for Liberty to handle. The Lady Flames turn the ball over early, Megan Frazee never gets enough touches to impact the game and the 2005 Sweet 16 run gets one year further away.
Best case: Jill Young makes four 3-pointers in the first half and Jennifer Warkenthien shines in her first real showcase game. South Dakota State relishes being the only non-Texas team in the Lubbock subregional and upsets Baylor in the second round. As the Jackrabbits celebrate, a student manager in the corner of the arena tosses a pin up in the air, trying to see if he really can hear it drop.
Worst case: Playing in their first Division I tournament, the Jackrabbits get a little overwhelmed by the enormity of the moment. Warkenthien gets in foul trouble against TCU and, despite the fact that SDSU looks like it should be the better team, the Jackrabbits can't seem to get out of their own way. With some key seniors playing their last game, the Jackrabbits are loath to call this a learning experience.
Best case: Someone finally finds the cocktail napkin upon which coach Jeff Mittie jotted down how the Lady Frogs beat Maryland and Cal. The reconstituted formula helps TCU knock off South Dakota State. The win forces the announcers to say Helena Sverrisdottir for another day.
Worst case: The team that managed to avoid a bad loss all season suffered one in its first game of the Mountain West tournament, and UNLV's nine-point victory over TCU proves to be no fluke. The shooting woes don't just go away, either, and the Lady Frogs don't bounce back.
Best case: Jessica Morrow and Jhasmin Player continue to share the responsibility of go-to player. With each passing game, the need to discuss the loss of Danielle Wilson diminishes. Baylor doesn't blow anyone out along the way, but before anyone really notices, the Lady Bears are in the Final Four again.
Worst case: The loss of Wilson does become a factor in the regional semifinal with Louisville. She isn't missed as much as the Baylor depth is impacted. Rachel Allison and Morrow get into some minor foul trouble. Since she's only going with a six-player rotation, coach Kim Mulkey goes zone like she did in the Big 12 tournament, but it doesn't work this time. The Cardinals beat the zone and eventually beat Baylor.
Best case: It's suddenly discovered that somehow Danielle Wilson's knee injury is contagious and six other Lady Bears have contracted the same thing. Mulkey is down to a pair of walk-ons, Kelli Griffin, Jhasmin Player (she's immune after last year's injury) and herself to play the Roadrunners in the first round.
Worst case: Doctors catch this before it spreads, Baylor is healthy and so is the deficit for UT-San Antonio.

After his unfortunate stint at the U. of Florida, Cam got serious about being a QB. The results were one JUCO NC and once BCS NC. Oh, and he had a lot of fun both of those years. So, yeah, I think Cam can handle having fun and working to become a great QB at the same time. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We believe if handled properly at origin, coffee has the potential to be respected and treated like a fine wine. We aim to bring in coffees that have been grown properly and responsibly. Quality sourcing is just the first step in our journey toward the best possible flavor in the resulting cups of coffee we make.

When I heard that a new opera house was opening in the Austrian city of Linz, the news should have spurred lyrical memories of Mozartĺs Linz Symphony or the thundering notes of Anton Bruckner, who grew up nearby. Instead, I suddenly tasted the finely ground hazelnuts mixed with lemon-infused spices that made up my favorite childhood pastry: the Linzer torte.
Growing up in Geneva, I spent most Tuesday afternoons enduring a painful piano lesson. But after each one, my Parisian mother, well aware of my growing obsession with sweets, would take me across the street to the corner pastry shop, where she let me pick out a treat from among as many as 20 cakes. Every time, I chose the Linzer torte, a pastry filled with raspberry or currant jam and topped with a lattice crust. I can still taste the crumbly, buttery dough and the pungent jam, and recall the way my one-on-one with composer Carl Czerny would recede from my consciousness and melt into pure pleasure.
Now settled in New York, Iĺd leveraged my sensitive palate into a busy career as a food and travel writer. I decided to travel to Austria and, channeling Gretel, follow a path of torte crumbs around Linz and into its new opera house.
Since 2009, when it was named a European Capital of Culture, the small city that straddles the Danube between Vienna and Salzburg has made tremendous strides in shedding its stark industrial reputation in favor of a quasi-futuristic modern image.
ôFirst we cleaned the air,ö said Horst H÷rtner, senior director of Futurelab, an innovation think tank at Ars Electronica, a digital media and technology museum housed in a striking multicolored, LED-lit glass cube on the river. ôThen we cleaned the water, created a car-free zone and gave the town a facelift.ö
And last year, his crew also invented a microchip that translates sound into light. ôAs a wink to our culinary heritage, we painted it red and called it Linzer Schnitte [meaning slice],ö he added. I was onto something.
- ľ -
I cross the Nibelungen Bridge, headed back to the past and the cityĺs old town.
ôIt suddenly dawned on me that the Linzer torte connects much of our history,ö said Ute Sailer, a city guide who recently came up with a ôLinzer Torte Tour.ö Weĺre standing on the Hauptplatz, the main square, lined with pastel baroque facades. ôThereĺs been a weekly market here for the last 800 years,ö Ute adds casually.
She leads me on the short walk to k.u.k. Hofbńckerei, the oldest bakery in town. Itĺs helmed by fifth-generation baker Fritz Rath, a favorite of expat Dennis Russell Davies, music director and chief conductor of the Linz Opera and the Bruckner Orchestra Linz.
ôNo! We donĺt put no raspberry jam in the torte,ö roars Rath, a genial goblin who seems to have sprung straight out of a box, in charmingly ungrammatical English. He bounces back to his kitchen, gesturing for me to follow and don an apron. I dig my hands into the dough as he guides me through the making of my very own torte. I canĺt resist licking a spoonful of red currant jam. ôHere in Upper Austria,ö explains the baker, ôred currants grow everywhere, like weeds.ö
While the torte bakes, I chat with Liselotte Schlager, author of a cultural history of the pastry, in the nostalgic cafe plastered with memorabilia from the heyday of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. ôItĺs one of the oldest pastry recipes ever recorded,ö she affirms. But from what year? Historians and bakers bicker over 1653 vs. 1696. But they all seem to agree that the ancient manuscript was discovered in the stunning baroque library of the Admont Abbey, about 50 miles away in the Austrian Alps, which houses more than 200,000 volumes dating from as early as the 8th century.
My Linzer torte is ready. I nibble slowly, layer by layer: the slivered, fragile almonds on top; the golden lattice; the sweet and sour notes of the jam; and then the moist hazelnut dough redolent of cinnamon and clove. ôDonĺt forget that in the 1600s, only the elite could afford spices or almonds,ö remarks Ute, my diligent guide.
Later, she leads me to the Linz-Genesis Museum where, among Roman artifacts and tools from the Middle Ages, sit Linzer torte boxes from the early 1900s. Theyĺre way past their sell-by dates, but their covers feature images of the ôSch÷ne Linzerin,ö the plump feminine ideal of the time. Later that night, Iĺll learn that in todayĺs local slang, a hot chick is referred to as, what else Ś a Linzer Schnitte!
On my way to the ônewö cathedral, a dark neo-Gothic ship dating from the mid-19th century (the ôoldö one, where Bruckner served as organist between 1855 and 1868, was completed in the 17th century), I spot Gragger, a grungy shop featuring breads, cakes and an ôall organicö sign. The dark breads are fabulous, but alas, their torte is dry.
In the evening, I shun the tramway and walk the whole length of Landstrasse, the main artery that leads to the sturdy steel-and-stone Opera House. The new building, imagined by British architect Terry Pawson, cost $236 million and has breathed new currents of life into the whole neighborhood.
Itĺs operetta night, and the full house settles in, under a circle of lights reminiscent of Carnegie Hall. No offense to Offenbach and ôLa Vie Parisienne,ö but I soon slip out of my seat and climb the two flights of stairs to Das Anton, the gleaming open-kitchen brasserie, where celebrity chef Toni M÷rwald offers Austrian cuisine with a modern bent.
ôSo is the restaurant named for you?ö I ask innocently as the chef and I sit beneath a severe portrait of Bruckner. ôOf course!ö he trumpets. ôWell, for me, and Bruckner.ö
M÷rwald has reimagined the Linzer torte as a vanilla parfait sprinkled with almonds, holding court beside a sphere of nutty dough that weĺre expected to dip, lollipop-style, into a red currant compote. Delicious and clever.
The next day, the whole town is out to cheer the runners in the annual citywide marathon. On the Danube, now a clean blue, a fast boat pulls a water-skier. The waves are reflected in the glass facade of the Lentos Art Museum, where several Warhols, Klimts and Schieles hang. Some say that the nearby Brucknerhaus, a circular 1974 concert hall, was built in the shape of a Linzer torte. Perhaps it was.
On a quiet cobblestone square, a group of American women are enjoying drinks. Theyĺre in Austria teaching English, and they laugh hysterically upon hearing what has brought me here.
ôLinzer torte, itĺs like a coffee cake,ö says Celeste Maus. ôKinda dry.ö But they insist that I check out Cafe Jindrak, where the official torte can supposedly be found.
There are six outposts of the cafe in town, so I choose the closest one, just off the elegant Rudigierstrasse and its antiques and design galleries. But in the window of a concept store named Daschkaria, a postcard calls my name. Photographed by the co-owner, Daniela K÷ppl, it shows crumbs of Linzer torte and a fork on a paper plate. The card says simply: Once upon a time, there was a Linzer torte. ôI thought it illustrated our town very well,ö K÷ppl says.
But Iĺm after more than crumbs, so I proceed to Jindrakĺs bakery. Talk about ôofficialö! Leo Jindrak III is the only baker allowed to feature the Linz coat of arms on his boxes, an honor bestowed by the mayor in the 1970s. Jindrak is also famous for holding the record for the largest Linzer torte ever baked, with a diameter of 13 feet. How will this cake compare with my own, fresh out of the oven? I take a bite, a bit dubious, but the pastry is fabulous, with a clear hazelnut kick.
ôBut hazelnuts only appeared in the recipe at the end of the 19th century,ö says librarian Waltraud Feissner, who, like the Empress Elizabeth before her, has collected dozens of recipes. ôYou know, every baker claims to have the original recipe, but I know they donĺt. I counted as many as 80 original recipes!ö
Next I visit Peter Hirsch, culinary writer for the local newspaper Ober÷sterreichische Nachrichten. ôHave you been to Verdiĺs?ö he asks. ôErich Lukas, the fabulous chef, makes a torte in a glass.ö
The next night, I hire a cab to drive me five miles outside town to Lukasĺs charming chalet. Both Einkehr, the casual cafe there, and the gastro enclave, Verdi, are teeming with seemingly happy diners.
The torte in a glass turns out to be the Viennese Sachertorte, but from the bucolic terrace, I take my measure of Linz, spreading in the distance.
Suddenly I understand whatĺs happening here. For centuries, the history of the town and the history of its native torte have followed a parallel path. But now, Linz offers both scrumptious bites of its baroque past and glimpses of its ultra-modern present, in the shape of a lollipop or inside a glass building.
Itĺs a great combo.

What's a good sports book title without a heavy dose of hyperbole?
This story appears in the Dec. 28 issue of ESPN The Magazine.
The "Greatest Story Ever Told" is about Jesus himself, but these days you'd half-expect to find that title on a bookseller's sports shelves.

Neuroscience has substantially advanced the understanding of how changes in brain biochemistry contribute to mechanisms of tolerance and physical dependence via exposure to addictive drugs. Many scientists and mental health advocates scaffold this emerging knowledge by adding the imprimatur of disease, arguing that conceptualizing addiction as a "brain disease" will reduce stigma amongst the folk. Promoting a brain disease concept is grounded in beneficent and utilitarian thinking: the language makes room for individuals living with addiction to receive the same level of compassion and access to healthcare services as individuals living with other medical diseases, and promotes enlightened social and legal policies. However such claims may yield unintended consequences by fostering discrimination commonly associated with pathology. Specifically, the language of neuroscience used to describe addiction may reduce attitudes such as blame and responsibility while inadvertently identifying addicted persons as neurobiological others. In this paper, we examine the merits and limitations of adopting the language of neuroscience to describe addiction. We argue that the reframing of addiction in the language of neuroscience provides benefits such as the creation of empowered biosocial communities, but also creates a new set of risks, as descriptive neuroscience concepts are inseparable from historical attitudes and intuitions towards addiction and addicted persons. In particular, placing emphasis on the diseased brain may foster unintended harm by paradoxically increasing social distance towards the vulnerable group the term is intended to benefit.

Humanitarian community continues to scale up relief for Philippine typhoon victims: UN agency
UNITED NATIONS, Dec. 9 (Xinhua) -- The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) has said the humanitarian community continued to scale up support for people affected by Typhoon Haiyan, a month after it made landfall in the Philippines, a UN spokesman said Monday.
"The Office says that humanitarian needs remain enormous, with nearly 15 million people affected, including some 4 million people displaced and more than 1 million homes destroyed or damaged," UN spokesman Martin Nesirky said at a daily news briefing.
"The UN and its partners are focusing their efforts on reaching the most vulnerable with emergency food, shelter, health and water, sanitation and hygiene assistance and protection services," he said.
On Friday, Luiza Carvalho, the top UN humanitarian official in the Asian island country, urged the international community to continue support so that people have access to food and clean water, as well as shelter and jobs.
"Visiting Tacloban today, I see big differences from my first visit, almost one month ago," Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator in the Philippines Luiza Carvalho said. "The airport is operational, fuel is available, the water system is reconnected, people are receiving assistance and the town hall is functioning."
Also on Friday, UN humanitarian agencies and partners urged the world to continue to support the massive relief effort under way in the archipelago, warning that the breadth of the damage is still unfolding and the needs for the millions of people affected by the storm are immense.
Haiyan, one of the most powerful typhoons ever recorded, struck the Philippine archipelago on Nov. 8, claiming at least 4,000 lives. Of the 348 million U.S. dollars requested for immediate aid, some 168 million U.S. dollars have been received, or roughly more than 48 percent, OCHA said.
Challenges over the coming months will involve reopening the damaged schools and public buildings and restoring services, the UN agency said.

Thanks for a great plugin I have used it in a few projects now.
I was wondering if the are plans to update the slider with the latest flexslider version. I have done it myself and will be adding in an option to allow for the carousel thumbnails. Do you have plans to update the plugin in the near future ? or is this open source on Git where I could share my updates ?

I am using the latest version of Contact 7 but I was having the same problem with older versions.
The standard "XX/XX" size attributes will change the number of rows in the text area field but will not change the width/columns in a text area field.
The field appears too narrow for my page width and I have tried tweeking everything I can think of including the style.css file but nothing seems to make any difference to the text area field.
Anyone have an idea how to fix this.

Henderson County assesses gang issue
Crime council measuring problem
Published: Thursday, September 9, 2010 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, September 8, 2010 at 10:22 p.m.
The Henderson County Juvenile Crime Prevention Council is working to determine if the county has a gang problem. Recently the council was awarded two grants from President Obama's stimulus package that allowed members to work on gang prevention and perform a gang assessment.
The JCPC gathers community leaders — locally and statewide — to reduce and prevent juvenile crime, according to the N.C. Department of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention website. JCPC board members are appointed by the county board of commissioners and meet monthly in each county.
"There has been a very big disagreement on whether or not we have a gang problem in Henderson County," said county JCPC Chairperson Mary Murray. "So we opted to have an assessment done."
So far, the JCPC has sent surveys to residents and students.
"The community survey was geared to people in the community and what types of crime they are seeing in their neighborhoods," she said. "The school survey was sent to teachers and students to get their input on what they see in the schools."
Murray said the school survey was completed in April, and the community survey was finished in August.
"Now all the information we have gathered has been sent to the School of Government at UNC-Chapel Hill," she said.
The assessment will be completed on Dec. 1 and Henderson County commissioners have said the JCPC board can use their meeting room to reveal the findings.
Now the group is waiting on the assessment results to see how to move forward in regard to gangs.
"If funding is available and the assessment shows a need, we will push for more gang prevention programs," Murray said. "Right now it just depends on the assessment to see where we go."
Young children and teenagers are attracted to whatever will provide them with what they are missing at home, she said.
"As far a prevention goes, the Boys and Girls Club has had a program in place to work on gang prevention," Murray said. "We have relied on their program because it is a very structured program. The solicitation of youths into gangs starts very young."

BELFAST, Northern Ireland - On the eve of forming a long-elusive new government for Northern Ireland, Britain's senior official in the province said Sunday that he trusted Sinn Fein leaders to deliver speedy Irish Republican Army disarmament as part of the deal.
Four parties, including the IRA-linked Sinn Fein, are expected to nominate candidates today for a 12-member Protestant-Catholic Cabinet, the key objective outlined more than 1 1/2 years ago in the Good Friday peace accord.
The breakthrough was made possible by the Ulster Unionists, the province's major British Protestant party, deciding Saturday to drop their demand for IRA disarmament before forming the new administration.
Northern Ireland Secretary Peter Mandelson praised Ulster Unionist leader David Trimble, who would lead the Cabinet, for overcoming "hostility and mental aggression" from hard-line Protestant critics. Trimble won 58 percent support for the policy change in a vote Saturday by his party's governing council.
Mandelson's government plans to transfer substantial powers Thursday to the new Cabinet, reversing 27 years of direct rule by Britain.
And Mandelson said he hoped the IRA's promise to open negotiations on Thursday with a Belfast-based disarmament commission would produce "quick progress" on an issue that has handicapped peacemaking work here for years.
Speaking in a British Broadcasting Corp. television interview, Mandelson added that he expected Sinn Fein leaders Gerry Adams and Martin McGuinness - both reputed former IRA commanders - "to lead the republican movement and ensure that they deliver on their side of the bargain."
"Whatever you might think about their past, they're people now who are committed to politics, not to violence," said Mandelson. "I don't think they would have asked the IRA, you know, to take part in this if they didn't know what the answer was going to be."
Mandelson, who said he thought the IRA would start disarming by January, described Adams and McGuinness as "two forward-looking politicians who . . . should be given the benefit of the doubt."
But McGuinness, one of Sinn Fein's two candidates expected to receive posts today, warned that Trimble's unexpected setting of a February deadline for a start to IRA disarmament would make it more difficult to achieve.
McGuinness said the Ulster Unionists' "ultimatum and demand" approach "makes our job all the more difficult." But he did not rule out the possibility of an IRA weapons gesture in January.

Samsung SDI in $33 Million Price-Fixing Accord, Lawyers Say
Samsung SDI Co. agreed to pay $33 million to settle allegations that it conspired with other makers of picture tubes used in televisions and computers to fix prices and overcharge buyers, lawyers for purchasers of the products said.
The accord is the largest of five settlements worth a total of $81 million reached in price-fixing lawsuits filed in 2007 claiming manufacturers conspired to raise prices for cathode-ray tubes and products containing the tubes starting in 1995, the attorneys said today in a filing in federal court in San Francisco.
Thousands of direct purchasers of the picture tubes would be eligible for settlement funds under the accord. Samsung SDI and affiliates, who were named as defendants in a class action, or group lawsuit, denied price fixing, according to the settlement agreement filed in court.
The accord must be approved by a judge.
Gary Halling, an attorney for Samsung SDI, didn't immediately respond to an e-mail seeking comment on the settlement.
The case is In Re Cathode Ray Tube Antitrust Litigation, 07-cv-05944, U.S. District Court, Northern District of California (San Francisco).

Superbowl XLIII
By dawgfan6775
My oppionion of this game is that it's going to be a close one. This game won't be very high scoring, but will see some touchdowns from both teams. This game will be one of the greats. Both teams have some advantages. The steelers got the #1 D-fence in the NFl, and got both a good running game and passing game with Big ben and parker, but will Ward play? It's not sure that he'll play in the game though, but I think he will.

My 2009 NFL Mock Draft
By checkag
I'll show you my latest but first I have some predictions:
1. Sanchez will fall, more than ppl think. Some like Minnesota will probably trade up to get him. I'm thinking a repeat of Brady Quinn's draft day.
2. Unless LT leaves San Diego or Knowshon has a monster Combine, Moreno will fall.
3. And lastly, just because Lions fans want Detroit to avoid Stafford, doesn't mean they will. ... Read all of checkag's picks
Mock NFL Draft
By hunter889479
1. Detroit Lions: Matthew Stafford, QB, Georgia
The Lions need help at the QB position fast. Stafford is the guy. He is a great pro-style QB with his arm strength and accuracy. They already have decent wideouts so a QB like Stafford would be a perfect fit.
2. St. Louis Rams: Eugene Monroe, OT, Virginia ... Check out all of the picks

I am not freaking out like everyone else is about how the coach of the team that won 100-0 last week should be fired. In all honesty, it is a coach's job to run his offense and it's the opposing coach's job to stop him. But do you know who I am really mad? Whoever scheduled that game. Who schedules a top-tier team to play against when your school hasn't won a game in 4 years? Who schedules an elite high school basketball team when you have 8 girls on your varsity basketball team, and only 20 girls in the whole school.

This is a "Blitz Code" post. It should take 10 minutes for you to read through. The goal is to get started quickly, so we will only skim through the concepts. The post is primarily geared towards introducing WP7 to new developers.
The WP7 UI chrome consists of PhoneApplicationFrame and one or more PhoneApplicationPage. Each application will have a single frame and can have multiple pages. Frames and pages concept is similar to the SL 3.0. We will touch upon few concepts related to designing a page, plugging in your custom styles and using an ApplicationBar in your project.
In the new project template, the start page of the app is Mainpage.xml. The page design is specified by XAML (a markup language). For a page, you will have three major options to specify a layout - Grid, StackPanel and Canvas. Let's briefly look at each of these.
Our objective here is: divide the available UI space into a MxN grid. Each rectangle so obtained can contain an UI element or another UI container/grid. Using a grid layout consists of two simple steps:
That's pretty simple. Let's create a 2x2 grid and see how the XAML looks like. Here's the related code I used:
To arrange items further, you can use the VerticalAlignment and HorizontalAlignment property. It takes four values, Bottom/Center/Top are self explanatory. Stretch will cover up all available area.
Here the UI elements are arranged one on top of another. You can customize the height/width and other properties for each of the elements. Usually I use this layout for real quick mock ups (and test out the backend code changes). Here is the code:
Orientation is a key property of a StackPanel. Use it to specify how your UI elements stack up - horinzontally or vertically.
Compared to above two, the Canvas layout is not quite flexible. You'd need to specify the coordinates for an UI element to position it. Since UI positions for the child elements are absolute, changes in form factor may make UI unusable.
Similar to CSS for web apps, you can define your own Style Resources and use them through out the application. The default project template comes with a set of predefined styles you can use. Take a look at the App.xaml file. It is often a good practice to define your own set of resources/templates. This allows reusability and keeps the look and feel of your application consistent.
I linked the UI element's Style property to a StaticResource. I created a custom resource, call it MyStyle. The TargetType attribute ensures that only the target UI element can use the style. The code snippet is given below.
The ApplicationBar control provides a nice way to hook up a menu bar and icon buttons to your application. It's pretty easy:
To create the images for my application, I used 48x48 PNG (transparent background). The actual text in the icon is 26x26 (White foreground).
So far so good. By now, I hope you already have a small app to try out the UI. Next, you may dig into the following concepts:
[1] Scott's post on silverlight layout management [2] MSDN on Static resources and on Relative resources [3] Scott's post on silverlight control templates [4] MSDN on How to create ApplicationBar for WindowsPhone
Hope this helps.
By the way, the term "Blitz Code" comes from blitz chess (also called Lightning chess, where each player gets 5 minutes to play). Do drop me a line if you'd like to play an online blitz game sometime :)

Once again, thanks for the plugin, I love it.
I just set up a new wp site at http://www.jamcakemusic.com and it's a bilingual site. This is the first time I've used xLanguage plugin with podpress. I really love the simplicity of the plug but it doesn't play well with podpress. The player will show on some pages and not on others (like the home page). The "download, play now, play in pop up" display on all pages but not the player. I disabled the xLanguage plugin and podpress works normally. Unfortunately the developers site for xLanguage is not working.... I hope there's an easy fix. I really like both plugins.
Thank you,

I've wondered about this for a long time. The only reason my husband can live in the US with me legally is because of the fiance visa and the ensuing green card he's entitled to because of our marriage. It was already an unbelievable amount of paperwork, waiting and frustration and we were in a legitimate and hetero relationship, so I can only imagine how awful it would be to try to get a fiance visa or spouse visa for a same sex couple. Our immigration laws suck by the way, in case anyone wondered.
@1: How awful? Under current law, impossible.
Don't get married in CA if you don't want to jeopardize your future non-immigrant visa applications. It's a very sad fact.
Mark Mitchell FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Say, wasn't someone going to make shirts with that? I would have loved to wear one to Pride...
Hilarious! Using my hetero rights, I can enter into a fully legal, government-blessed marriage with a foreign woman I have never met solely for the purpose of circumventing immigration laws, but the government refuses to recognize legitimately formed relationships? Protection of marriage my goddamn ass!
So, the gay marriage thing is really just a plot to get those foreign queers to identify themselves and provide a reason to get shipped out of the country. Very, very clever.
@5 No. You can't. I think the government gets a little nosy when citizenship is involved.
@5: Not exactly; in the last ten years the US has gotten a lot tougher on fiancee and spousal visas and punishments for fraud are fairly severe. You could still do it, but you'd be risking denial and/or civil and criminal penalties.
That said, this shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone; the CA decision was based on the CA state constitution, so it has no ramifications for federal recognition of those marriages. As long as the Federal Government doesn't have to recognize same-sex marriages, it doesn't have to give same-sex partners visas or green cards based on those marriages.
(Honestly, as recently as the '80s homosexuality was grounds for denying someone their green card and deporting them, and being HIV-positive is still grounds for removal. Our immigration law is NOT progressive.)
OK, the guy has a French boyfriend/fiance and the right to live in France, but he wants to come back here? Insanity.
Get married in Canada and sue for your rights under NAFTA.
Problem solved.
But, yeah, why wouldn't you choose France instead - an EU passport is gold!
Immigration Equality, one of the organizations mentioned in the Reuters article linked to, is trying to get a bill passed in Congress that would let same-sex couples sponsor each other for immigration -- it's called the Uniting American Families Act and you can learn more here: http://immigrationequality.org/template.php?pageid=49
6 and 7: Actually, yes I can. I went through the process (for my legitimate marriage), and it wasn't that tough. Just paperwork, patience and some cash. If one were so inclined, it wouldn't be too difficult to supply the "proof" the CIS requested to show that we had entered the relationship in good faith. It's not that hard to open a sham bank account, sign a lease "together," and get a few buddies to sign some affidavits. When they interviewed us, they were more concerned about drug use and communist sympathies than the legitimacy of our relationship.
...though I will concede I may have been given some preferential treatment because I am in the military.

Two years ago, I made my dad caramels for his birthday. They were hard and crunchy, like gold-wrapped Werther's, the kind that would crack like glass when you bit them. While I'd been after something a little more chewy that time, since that's how Dad likes them most, it turned out candy-making could be something of an art, especially when you were new to it, so all I could muster were those smooth caramel stones, best for placing between your tongue and the roof of your mouth and slowly melting away. I gave them to him, presenting them proudly, and I put my candy thermometer away. But then this year, when Tim and I were up visiting a few months ago, talking to my dad in the kitchen about dinner plans or about something we'd baked, Dad, almost out of nowhere, asked if I'd thought about trying caramels again. Maybe soft and chewy this time? he'd asked, hopefully, like it would really mean something to him if I could. Now I know a lot of people would say their dad is … [Read more...]

Sprouted Coconut Cocoa Banana Muffins
The first week Tim and I got back to Nashville, while we settled into a regular rhythm of making meals and paying bills and sharing a home office together, I began tackling the to-do list that follows a wedding. There were thank-you notes to write, bank accounts to merge, a pretty major name change to take care of---at the DMV, the social security office, with basically every account I have on record anywhere---and even looking back now, with it all done and finished and behind me, I can tell you there were definite low points (i.e., AT&T: Why is it so hard to get two existing users spun off into a new account? WHY?) and definite high points (i.e., these muffins). I've always been the kind of girl to crave a couple hours alone in the kitchen. When I used to work a regular office job, I'd often come home at the end of the day, tired and not really wanting to go anywhere, and I'd comfort myself with cooking (eventually with my camera and you guys to join me, and thus this blog … [Read more...]
Honeymoon in (Kauai,) Hawaii!
The first evening of our married life may have been all crisp October air and gorgeous golden leaves and a giant tent filled with our closest friends and family, but that first week was something altogether different. The morning after the wedding, we flew to what felt like worlds away from Chicago or Nashville or anything we knew and went from a night of grass-fed filet mignon, roasted potatoes, homemade cookies from friends and family and pumpkin wedding cake made by my mom, to eight beautiful nights in a land of avocados, starfruit, apple bananas and coconuts that you crack open and drink with a straw. We honeymooned in Hawaii: seven nights in a fully equipped condo on the island of Kauai's north shore and one last night in a beachfront hotel in the Waikiki Beach area of Honolulu on Oahu. And while I loved what Hawaii was---tropical, relaxed, with both jungles and canyons, sandy beaches and rugged coastlines---I loved most what it wasn't: no more emails or phone calls, no … [Read more...]
10.15.11 – The Wedding
We did it. Three weeks ago Saturday, on a beautiful October afternoon, after about six months of planning and close to two years of knowing each other, Tim and I took our first steps together as man and wife. Looking back now, it feels like a blur. I knew it would go by quickly and that, partway through it, I'd want to slow things down: if the weeks leading up to your wedding feel busy, the day-of feels overwhelming, exciting, like you can't believe what is happening is really happening and now it's happening too fast, too good, too much like you wish it wouldn't end. So many times I'd look at Tim and think, This is happening! He's my husband! This is our wedding! We're really doing this! And, wherever we were at that moment, he'd be taking my hand to move me towards the next thing, and there we'd go, doing it, living it, having our photos taken and eating a meal and hugging people who told us they loved us. Now that we're back and home and getting settled, I'm ready to come … [Read more...]

The Duke of Cambridge gained revenge on the Duchess of
Cambridge by inspiring Clutha to beat Pirates 30-20 after she
had won
yachting races against the prince in Auckland last week.
''[Prince William] had to win against his wife Kate,'' Clutha
captain Henry Craig (5), who held his team's new trophy, told
a large media contingent following the final.
Balclutha 7-year-old Chase Te Moananui-Currie scored three
tries in the final, which was watched by 10,000 royal
watchers turned Rippa rugby fans at Forsyth Barr Stadium
Prince William impressed upon the Clutha team the importance
of the win, saying his holiday would be ruined if it did not.
''So we tried our best,'' Chase said.
Pirates manager Gemma Tuhega, who had Kate Middleton as
assistant coach for the final, said getting to meet the
duchess was ''very special'' for the children. It was clear
from the little bit of time she spent with the Royal couple
that William took his sport seriously and savoured a victory
over the duchess.
''You could tell that William was very competitive because he
was on the other side and every time his team scored a try,
he was like `yes!'.''
Rippa players Jemima (6) and Lydia Hortop-Blair (4), of the
Pirates club, took turns to chat to the duchess during breaks
in the action at the stadiumThe duchess chatted about the
rules of the game and asked Lydia if she was ''going to run
fast'', proud father Quentin Blair, of Dunedin, said.
Jemima told the Otago Daily Times she was excited to
meet Catherine.
''She was beautiful. I couldn't wait because she was so

The out-of-state owner of 18 dogs and seven cats living in a squalid home on Baxter County Road 159 voluntarily gave up her rights to the animals over the weekend, allowing workers from the Humane Society of North Central Arkansas to rescue them Monday morning.
Authorities were called to the #30 CR 159 home Thursday after a report the animals were living in unimaginable conditions and might be starving. The animals were being fed, according to investigators, who said they would seek out the owner and ask she voluntarily give them up.
Baxter County Sheriff's Office investigators arrived at work Monday morning to find a fax from the woman giving up custody of the animals to the sheriff's department, with the knowledge the animals would immediately be taken by the Humane Society, according to shelter manager Carolyn Carter.
Trying process of removal
Sheriff's Office investigator Larry Walters called the Humane Society with the news they could pick up the animals.
"We were overjoyed with the news," Carter said. "We knew we wanted to get them out and on their way to being able to be placed in new homes."
Carter and assistant shelter manager Roger Pike spent Monday morning gathering the animals from the home. Before entering, both put on heavy duty respirators to keep the overwhelming stench of ammonia at bay.
As the morning wore on, the two workers brought out dogs and cats, one and two at a time. Carter said there were stacks of items and crates strewn throughout the home, with small paths leading to various rooms. Standing outside the home 30 feet away, the stench wafting out the front door was almost unbearable.
"It's like the stench of a meth lab in there," Pike said. "It's just brutal."
The amount of waste produced by the animals — which were caged in their own urine and feces, most kept in double-stacked crates — was so great, it literally saturated the floor of the home.
The following is a description of the interior of the home in a report written by Cpl. Kristofer Savino:
Located inside the residence (were) two dogs running freely in the living room, four dogs in a bedroom, along with 12 others caged and stacked up throughout the residence. Most of the dogs were estimated to be under 30 lbs. of weight and some cages had two dogs located inside them. Also located were three separate cages with three adult cats inside of them. Four adult cats were located behind a closed door inside a bathroom.
Fecal matter and urine were spread throughout the residence with a very strong smell of ammonia. Each cage had empty bowls with no food or water and blankets that were also covered in feces and urine. The animals appeared not to be malnourished but the living conditions were so unbearable that it was burning the reporting officer's eyes while inside.
Treatment begins at animal shelter
In addition to Pike and Carter, other workers gathered at the Humane Society awaiting the arrival of the animals. At the animal shelter, the dogs and cats will go through an intake process of cleaning and assessment for veterinary care if needed. The animals also will be given vaccinations, and treated for fleas and ticks, Carter said.
"We spend about $200 per animal when we seize them in situations like this," Carter said. "That figure doesn't include any medical care they might need or their food, that's just to clean them up and get them ready for adoption."
At the back of the Humane Society property is a facility called Jason's Place, a barn that is used to house animals on a temporary basis when the shelter is full. On Monday, 17 of the 18 dogs were in clean crates with food and water.
Carter, along with shelter assistant Tiffany Hennings, spent the next several hours putting the dogs through the shelter's assessment process.
Each dog first had its temperature taken, then its nails were trimmed. Carter then drew blood from the dogs as Hennings soothed the animals.
Carter checked the ears of the dogs, cleaned them and treated those that needed it for ear mites. Carter then listened to the dogs' hearts and lungs while Hennings held them. A general physical exam was next to spot any problem areas.
Collars with tags were next, and the final step was placing the dogs on a scale to get their weight.
Hennings made careful notes on intake forms as the process moved along.
"It should be about five days before the animals are out of quarantine and are available for adoption," Carter said. "We were very happy to get them out of that house. The next step is to find these dogs and cats lovinghomes."
Want to help?
Those wishing to donate money to the Humane Society to help with the cost of the rescue, or wish to adopt one of the animals, should call 425-9221. Those wishing to donate can do so online at www.humanesocietyofnca.org.

Phoenix finished by strangerisWatch

We decided not to add colour,so it's finished.
uf black very nice
love it in black and greys. came out great like always
Funny...but the red from the needles does add to this; he should've had you do some red especially in the wings, it adds another depth to it. You do astonishing work; I have thoroughly enjoyed your gallery.
i tried to add colour with markers before we started,to see if it looks good,but decided that it doesn't,unless it's a full colour piece
WONDERFUL! Glad decided to keep it b/w
Beautiful way of torturing yourself
good work my friend
The color if done, would look great for awhile but, after a few years even with new longer lasting inks it would not look as good as it does with it being just like you did it right now. The black and grays look much better- I believe.
Beautiful work!!!
Beautiful work!!!
Superb @_@
still looks great.

"I bought this car used about 2 1/2 yrs ago with 210,000 miles on it. I was not deterred with the mileage at that point, because I knew it would last about 3 yrs and I was completely fine with that and the price point at $1500 asking $2,300 (but it needed a few minor repairs, so price was lowered). I've been driving this car about 20k miles a year and I have had no problems with the car itself. It has been the best car I've ever owned and with significantly less miles. The car is so quite and runs like a champ. I could drive it another 2 yrs. at least before setting aside for a newer car and I will still keep it as a back-up car, it's too good of a car to sell. If people are having mechanical issues with the car, it's probably a lack of maintenance on the car. I was guilty of that on my old car (Altima). I replace the oil every 3000k miles, burns zero oil and if the oil was low it was 1/4 of a quart low, but I found that to be the quality of oil not the car. I used to use Valvoline oil but recently started going the Toyota dealership and using Mobil 1 5000 (5000 mileage) and I had clean oil and it was full. I would highly recommend this car to anyone looking for a $2000 car and even it you put $500 in the car for minor repairs it will pay for itself over and over. My repair shop said they would buy the car if I did not want it when I had it inspected to purchase :)"

"I bought this car used with 106k miles on it. Soon after buying it, I could tell that something was wrong with the suspension. In short, I had to replace all four struts because one was broken and it would've been extremely expensive to replace Lexus's adjustable air ride suspension. Additionally, the car burns oil profusely and handles like the large sedan marketed at older buyers that it is. However, with its faults addressed, it is an extremely reliable car and gets surprisingly good gas mileage (between 25 and 30 mpg). Also, I love the interior and features."

"I had my eyes on this model for a few years now, drove a 98 Accord before. Sold that one as it didn't run that nicely, and got a 2000 Lexus Es300, boy was the difference night and day. The Es had more miles on it than my Accord and it ran much smoother, and quieter. Getting up to freeway speeds was no issue and the heated seats were absolutely amazing. Unfortunately, a deer ran into it and it has been totaled. However, I love this car so much that with the money my insurance gives me I'm going to turn right back around and buy the same model Lexus. These cars are bulletproof, you don't find quality like this in newer cars."

"First off I want to say I just purchased mine used with 113,500 miles. I got it from a family friend whos Grandma bought new, then sold to her daughter, then it was in my friends garage. therefore it was in perfect condition, everything works great, interior is still good, exterior only one small issue. Its comfortable, AC is nice and cold, stock system sounds great, purs doesn't roar. They say 0-60 in 7 seconds, sounds about right. I'm 6'5 and I have enough space. Can fit a small family, probably no more then 4 if there is a baby. REVIEW BEWARE: I have owned this car less then two weeks I will change if any issues that are detrimental to review score. Trunk is large enough, built in security system.One problem that has happened to me and I've heard others say is the lights in the stock CD player go out. Minor issue for the price these days and how long/great they run. One thing i'm a little worried about so far is engine gets hot fast, or so it seems. Gauge doesn't go up high and doesn't effect car. If you can get one of these at a decent price go for it. All the reviews say these cars last for ever."

Kickoff set for first two games
Published: Tuesday, June 3, 2008 at 2:57 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, June 3, 2008 at 2:57 p.m.
For the second consecutive season, the Florida football team is going to be getting off to a hot, early start in The Swamp.
As anticipated, UF learned Tuesday that its Aug. 30 opener against Hawaii has been picked up by Raycom and will have a 12:30 p.m. kickoff. Last year's opener against Western Kentucky also was tabbed by the network and had a 12:30 p.m. kickoff.
At the SEC's spring meetings in Destin last week, word leaked out that Raycom was going to televise the Hawaii game. The news became official with the league's release Tuesday of its television schedule.
The Gators also learned that the Sept. 6 Miami game at Florida Field has been picked up by ESPN and will have an 8 p.m. kickoff.
Beyond the first two games, the league TV partners have a 12-day window to select the remaining games on the schedule, with a one-time exception for a six-day window.
As for the early kickoff on Aug. 30, Florida athletic director Jeremy Foley said last week that UF would have a plan to cope with heat, similar to the one the school had for last year's 12:30 p.m. opener.
"We'll announce those plans as we get closer to the game," Foley said. "We're very sensitive to the heat. We'll do some of the things we did last year, with the water, ice and cooling zones. Last year we had a very good experience and I'm confident we'll have one again."
Among the initiatives employed during last season's opener:
* Cool misting tents in the concourses of the north, south and west sides of the stadium
* Additional fans on east side concourse
* Plastic cups with ice for free at concessions stands
* 12-ounce waters on sale at concessions stands for $1
* More than 100 water fountains operational in stadium
* Cooling buses on the east and west side to supplement aid stations
* Officers at gates looking out for fans in heat distress and directing to aid stations
