Which is the best IHC Secondary detection system kit?
I'm performing IHC on mouse tissue. My primary antibodies are rat anti-mouse antibody. I would like to know which is the best secondary anti-rat HRP conjugated DAB detection system ki. There are kits from BioVison, Invitrogen, Life Technologies, GBI Laboratory. Or should I try buying anti- rat hrp separately and use the detection kit provided for anti-mouse/rabbit by BioGenex, Leica Biosystems etc.?

Designer Profile: Loren Jacobs of LJ Interiors
2) With so many designers choosing Dallas or Houston to live and work, why did you choose Austin to start a design business?
I grew up in Houston and always knew I wanted to end up back in Texas. Even though I didn't go to UT, I had always loved coming to visit, so when it was time to pack my bags, Austin was the obvious choice, a new Texas adventure! I loved the laid back vibe of Austin and with all the growth it was a great place to start my business.
3) What would you say is the hardest/easiest thing about being a designer here in Austin?
I have people that are very supportive of small businesses here and always wanting to help and there is a funky edge that I love! The hardest part is the lack of resources...I go to the Decorative Center in Houston a lot.
4) How do you meet potential clients? Do you advertise much? Do they find you?
When I first moved here I went to a lot of networking events, but now its all word of mouth and referrals. I have never advertised.
5) What's some of your favorite design/architecture in Austin? Which designer's work do you really admire?
I think Kasey McCarty is very talented, as well as Bercy Chen Architects. Both have a very forward vision.
6) Where do you see yourself in 5 years? Alternatively, where do you see the Austin design community in 5 years?
I see myself still here in Austin, possibly with my own line of furniture! I think the Austin design community is really growing and taking off. I think the level of design is going to really escalate and I hope to be a part of it all.
7) What are some of the more specific to Austin design problems/mistakes that you see homeowners/commercial clients struggling with?
I think people don't know where to start (or shop) and feel overwhelmed by the whole process. I like to push people out of the box a little and show them all the amazing products that are out there.
8) What are your favorite/memorable projects that you've completed in your career and why?
My favorite projects would probably be one of the marketing office for Don Sebastiani and Sons Winery in Sonoma, Roar (of course), and the Charney residence in Lafayette, CA (it was featured in Better Homes and Gardens "Decorating"). While I was in school I also did a show on HGTV called Designer Finals...that one was really fun. The homeowner started crying during the reveal which was very rewarding and confirmed to me I had found my calling.
9) Do you think the trend of design shows and DIY homeowners helps the profession of interior designers or hurts it?
I think it in some ways it has opened the general publics eyes to design which is very exciting, but I think it can give a false impression of the time and money that actually goes in to a successful project.
10) What advice do you have to give to Austin homeowners?
Go out and get inspired! Always take the time to stay up on what is out there and trends, both in fashion and home decor...they are always overlapping.

By noon today my throat had swollen up so big that I couldn't swallow and my head was pounding. The sickness was upon me. So, as soon as I got home I started searching for something warm and soothing to eat. A quick scan of my refrigerator showed one lonely egg, some left over spinach, mushrooms and green onions from the salads that I packed for lunch this week and on top of the refrigerator I found my roommates stockpile of ramen noodles. Bingo! A hot soothing bowl of "souped up" ramen! Now, I know I may sound a little like a hypocrite because in my "About Budget Bytes" introduction I spoke of not having to eat ramen noodles every day to stay on a budget. That being said, you can do some pretty delicious things with these humble packages of noodles. This one is great because not only does it increase the nutritional value (if it had any to begin with) but it is an excellent way to use leftover veggies – experiment with whatever you have. Plus, when you're sick, an easy, hot, soothing and delicious bowl of noodles is just what the doctor ordered!
Quick Ramen Bowl
- 1 pkg ramen noodles $0.25
- 1 cup fresh spinach $0.17
- 3 medium button mushrooms $0.26
- 2 whole green onions $0.16
- 1 large egg (optional) $0.12
- 1 tsp chili garlic paste (optional) $0.05
- In a small pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. While you are waiting for the water to boil, wash and slice your veggies. Once the water is boiling, add the dry noodles and cook according to the package directions (boil about 5 minutes). Add the seasoning packet (or half a packet if you prefer less sodium) and stir until dissolved.
- Turn the heat down to medium and stir in all of your fresh veggies. Allow them to sit in the hot (not boiling) broth for 1-2 minutes or until slightly softened.
- Make a well in the center of the pot and crack the egg into it. Allow the egg to poach in the broth until the whites are solid but the yolk is still runny. Alternatively, you can break the yolk and stir the pot just slightly to yield egg ribbons like in egg drop soup. The water should not be boiling at this point or else your egg will dissolve into such small pieces that it will just give you a cloudy broth.
- Pour the soup into a bowl and serve with a dollop of chili garlic paste on the side.
Step By Step Photos
While you cook the ramen noodles, chop whatever fresh veggies you have on hand.
After the noodles have cooked and you have added the seasoning packet, stir in the veggies and allow them to poach for a minute or so.
Crack the egg into the center of the pot and allow it to poach as well (no picture, please forgive me, I'm sick as a dog!)
I like to leave the yolk runny so that when I finally break it, I get a little shot of creamy yolk heaven!
There are so many good things that you can add to your ramen bowl, don't be shy. You can try cabbage, sesame seeds, beans, shredded carrots, grilled chicken, shrimp… make it different every time! If you don't have chili garlic paste, sriracha sauce is also excellent. A sprinkle of sesame oil over top would be even more special. I had a wonderful noodle bowl at a restaurant a while back that came with a side of plum sauce that added an INCREDIBLE flavor to the broth… now I just have to find some to buy somewhere!

i luv cooking different kind of dishes!
this recipe is like eating in a korean resto.
Simple yet satisfyingly good!
more more recipes!
1100 mg of sodium in pkg of top ramen. So even 1/2 a pkg is 550 mg of sodium in one serving. Thats ridiculous- after you ate your soup did you drink three gallons of water because the salt made you so thirsty? Maybe next time some low sodium or even better no sodium chicken/beef/pork/shrimp broth would be much healthier. List my mom and my sister to calcification of the aortic valve- basically they salted themselves to death over a course of 40 years.
You can also chiffonade lunch meat on top of your ramen!
I added a squeeze of lime and a cilantro garnish. DELISH!!!!!!
When I see simple, quick, and easy (and cheap!) recipes like this, I get so happy, but I also get almost a little bit disheartened because, why didn't I think of this? Something that now seems almost obvious, made up of a few ingredients I already have at my disposal, and yet I had to find the recipe online. I want to be fully independent and cook very nice meals, not necessarily gourmet or anything, but enough to impress my friends and guests with such savory simplicity and elegance, as is this here bowl of soup. Your blog brings me joy, and also hope that maybe one day I'll be able to create a satisfying dish off the top of my head, by just looking at what I already have on hand. I hope you know that your blog is more than just ways to get food ready, it's a beacon of hope to young college kids who are just now weaving into their silk cocoons, awaiting adulthood. Thank you, Beth.
Looks great! Can't wait try ! :) but what flavor ramen would go best? Chicken or shrimp???
After a bad day, I was on to plan C for dinner. I raided my pantry and found a packet of ramen. I was looking for a quick and simple way to jazz it up a bit with ingredients I had on hand. Amazingly, I had everything on the list, including a side of mushrooms we got for my son's pizza the other day. It all came together beautifully, except I let my egg poach a little too long. It was so delicious, it will for sure be my plan A dinner sometime soon!
Love it! used low sodium turkey broth for my soup base… YUMMY!
You. guys. Make this recipe. I am lucky enough to have 2 boys and a husband who are very good eaters with diverse pallets. I cook from scratch every night, so I typically don't turn to things like Ramen for family dinner. However – it's great to have some quick options in my back pocket for nights that are busy. I want my family to be full and to feel satisfied. This recipe is great. We used the Oriental flavor of Ramen and it worked perfect. Truth be told – if I hadn't told my family that it was the store bought stuff – they would not have known. Because you add so many fresh ingredients to this, it really helps develop flavor, making the final product well rounded and delish. Thanks for a great recipe!
It looks delicious, and finally without meat
I might try to do this tommorrow. Can you explain to me what's a seasoning packet, I'm afraid we don't have it in Europe, or I'm just stupid
Can we just talk about how amazing this recipe is for a minute? I've been making different variations of this soup for about 2 years now after seeing your recipe, I have it usually once a week or so. It's ridiculously easy and cheap to make. Sometimes I add a quarter bottle of beer and dried basil to the broth for a richer body, or some lime juice. Love this recipe so much. Thanks, Beth!
Yes! I have been eating ramen like this for ages. It helped that my Mom was Japanese and taught me how to make it a meal. I like to add in Japanese fish cake. You can also used a sliced boiled egg on top if you don't care for a poached egg. Anything you like can be added to ramen soup. Meats should be cooked though as you mentioned in a reply.
This is also the perfect way to use up leftover grilled beef, pork or chicken. I usually add some minced garlic and grated ginger root.
Can you not put egg in this and add like pork or chicken to this?
Is it weird that this is one of my favorite recipes of yours? It's so satisfying and so simple (and so cheap!). I gave up eating ramen a long time ago because I always found it kind of boring, but constantly find myself craving soup without either the time or ingredients to make a whole homemade pot. This recipe satisfies that craving perfectly. I can't believe I never thought of adding anything to ramen before, so thanks for opening my eyes!

Three years ago, J.J. Barea was an indispensable part of the Dallas Mavericks' win over the Miami Heat in the 2011 NBA Finals—LeBron James and company simply had no answer for Barea's whirling-dervish theatrics.
When Barea's at his best, his low center of gravity and seamless changes of pace can drive opposing defenses bonkers.
When he's at his worst, he's trying to throw down a putback dunk and hurting his foot despite being listed at a very, very generous 6'0".
At least that's the assessment Minnesota Timberwolves head coach Rick Adelman gave for why his bench spark plug ended up a bit hobbled after their 123-122 overtime win over Barea's former team Wednesday night, according to The Associated Press' Jon Krawczynski:
Adelman said he thinks JJ hurt his foot because he wasn't used to falling that far after he almost dunked against Dallas— Jon Krawczynski (@APkrawczynski) March 22, 2014
Now, there's a reason NBA coaches don't go to medical school—their knowledge of the human anatomy can typically be measured in pain scales and ice packs.
But after watching video of Barea's fall, Adelman may have a point.
I mean, have we ever seen J.J. Barea jump that high? No, because apparently J.J. Barea has never seen J.J. Barea jump that high.
JJ on his dunk attempt: I was like what am I doin up here?— Jon Krawczynski (@APkrawczynski) March 22, 2014
You were giving hope to undersized point guards everywhere, J.J. That's what you were doing.
According to Mark Remme of NBA.com, Barea—who has dealt with nagging foot issues before—is a game-time decision for Sunday's home showdown with the Phoenix Suns:
Barea said he plans to give it a go during warm-ups and try to work the ankle out pregame. He and the training staff will make a decision from there. Right now he's listed as probable. Adelman said Barea didn't practice on Saturday.
At 5.5 games out of the Western Conference playoff picture, the Timberwolves are facing what's looking like—in the wake of heightened expectations heading into the season—something of a lost year.
It's been a similarly disappointing year in microcosm for the 29-year-old Barea, who has suffered statistical drop-offs almost across the board in his third season with the Timberwolves.
At this point, Adelman is looking for something—anything—to help Barea click. From Kent Youngblood of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune:
For much of the season Adelman has used Barea as the backup point guard for the second unit. But that group has struggled, with injuries to Chase Budinger to start the season and to center Ronny Turiaf twice during the season. It has also put a lot of pressure on Barea to be both the ballhandler and the scorer for a second unit that has been very up and down this season.
With Barea on Minnesota's docket only through next season, it'll be interesting to see whether the Timberwolves brass elects to shop him as an expiring contract. Perhaps on a team with either more minutes or touches to spare, Barea can once again emerge as a quirky-effective backup—and a consistent one to boot.
While we await word on whether his injury can be positively attributed to his 10-story fall, let me be the first to suggest out loud what everyone else must be thinking: J.J. Barea, 2015 Slam Dunk Contest favorite.

The Millers did their hopes of pinching a top-three spot the world of good on Good Friday when they beat AFC Wimbledon and Evans could keep the faith.
Evans made four changes for the Dons clash as he handed starts to Joe Skarz, Scott Shearer, Kari Arnason and Daniel Kearns and all four are expected to keep their shirt.
It was Shearer's first start in goal since October following knee and elbow injuries, so he may just be monitored ahead of kick-off at Priestfield.
Right-back Mark Bradley is the Millers' only absentee as he battles a broken foot.
Evans' men are currently four points adrift of third-placed Northampton with a game in hand.

Gervais coming back to Globes
This is something of a shocker: Ricky Gervais will return as Golden Globes host in 2011.
Variety reports that NBC, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association and Dick Clark Productions made the announcement today. The show will air Jan. 16, 2011.
"I can't believe they invited me back after [the] awful things I said," Gervais quipped, according to Variety.
The Brit is one of the few comedians who can make me laugh out loud but I didn't think the Globes were his best platform. In other words, he wasn't all that funny but the ratings were up and that's what counts.

Kandinsky sees the spiritual life of humanity as a pyramid. The artist must lead the layman to the top of this pyramid through the soulful exercise of art. Kandinsky differentiates between the superficial pleasure art inspires and the inner resonance created when art is considered attentively and allowed to touch the soul. The artist is allowed absolute freedom in order to express their soul's art, but they must not abuse this freedom if they are not expressing a personal inner resonance. Once the artwork is complete, the mystic quality they have poured into it become independent of them and filled with a spiritual breath.

According to the DOE, the US electricity generation in 2006 amounted to a
little over 4 million megawatt hours. Of this, 49% was generated in
coal-fired plants, 20% by Natural Gas, 19% nuclear, 7% hydro, 2% oil and 2%
other renewable resources like solar, wind, etc.
We have not built a nuclear power plant in 30 years. In France, for
example, 80% of the electricity is nuclear generated. Whenever someone
wants to build a nuclear power plant in this country, the only people who
make noises and ultimately block the power plant are environmentalists. I
have never, ever heard a fossil fuel company (big oil) make any noises
against such a power plant. As you can see, Big Oil is virtually
non-existent in electricity generation. It would also be "a bad thing" for
Big Oil to even consider doing this, it would be counterproductive as they
would like to build more refineries and they are prevented from doing so by
the same gang that prevents nuclear power plants.

When nuclear power is discussed, the fossil fuel companies mumble to the
republicans 'profits... campaign contributions... grumble grumble...'
The environmental movement turns to the democrats and says

Did you know that your vagina can be tightened through a completely natural process and without any surgical process? Most women lose elasticity of their vaginal muscles after child birth, and as the muscles lose their tone, interest in sex nosedives. Older women also may face a similar kind of situation post menopause and as a direct effect lose interest in sex altogether. Change in hormonal equation directly affects the vaginal muscles too, and can lead to urine incontinence. (The inability to hold in urine and pass it involuntarily is called urine incontinence).
Kegel exercise is a natural process of tightening the vaginal and pelvic floor muscles by clenching and unclenching them. It is a simple enough exercise, but it feels too inconsequential to actually remember to do it. I know, for one, since I always forget to do my Kegels during the day. Despite them being easy enough to do while one is working around the house or sitting at her office desk tapping away at her keyboard, we more often than not neglect doing these exercises. I have thought long and hard enough to come to a conclusion as to why we women forget doing the kegels. In my opinion it stems from a culture rooted deep within us women to neglect ourselves and put others' needs before ours. But Kegels are helpful in more ways than one, and it is a must for all women to perform them.
Use of Ben Wa balls
Adding a little bit of incentive to the process lets me have fun while I exercise my pelvic muscles. This is where Ben Wa balls come in. They have been used for hundreds of years, and their origin dates back to 500 AD. They were then used by Japanese women to pleasure their men during intercourse. Soon enough, the ladies discovered the effectiveness of these Geisha balls in toning and exercising the pelvic muscles. That using these was also sexually stimulating was a bonus they weren't going to let go of easily. Thus began the use of ben wa balls and today they come in a variety of sizes and weights to help women tone their vajajays.
How To Do Kegels With Ben Wa Balls
Doing your kegels with ben wa balls is fun, though it takes a bit of practice keeping those in. So while you are busy squeezing your vag muscles to keep the balls in, you are already doing your kegels! You'd be clenching your muscles to keep them from falling out, and the stronger your muscles get, lesser are the chances of the balls shooting out of their hiding place.
You can walk around and do your household chores, go to work with the balls inside you, and virtually do anything while you do your kegels with ben wa balls!
With the tightening of the muscles comes more control over your pelvic floor muscles, shooting up the pleasure meter during sex. Tighter muscles also mean chances of multiple orgasms and longer lasting ones too!
There's nothing to lose when you do use Ben Wa balls, and only pleasure to gain. Pick your variety – glass, silicone, metal, vibrating, non-vibrating or any other variation that catches your fancy – and get squeezin!

Is it possible to display the date of each post alongside each search result, and if so what do I need to do? [I do know where search.php is located].
Thanks in advance, Tony

A village held its annual fete in commemoration of the First World War.
Leafield resident, 16-year-old Jake Acock, organised the celebration, which he restarted, after a four-year hiatus, last year.
The teenager put together the fete, which was held yesterday.
It had a First World War theme with organisers dressing up as soldiers and land girls; the village was decorated with poppies and cars from the era were on display.

Community and forum dedicated to the books and films of the J.R.R. Tolkien series
:verysad: How sad that this happened; however, I have mixed emotions about this. Without the above aforementioned, we would have had neither The Hobbit nor The Lord of the Rings, or at least not the same thrilling versions of them. :elfwink:Without the teachings of the Valar it is unlikely Feanor would ever have had the skills to make the Silmarils from which so much trouble came. Also if they had not been summoned to Valinor, there would have been no ban of the Noldor, or the kin-slaying at Aqualonde.
How is the way Dwarves were created reflected in their nature?
Aulë also wanted children, but as they were not part of Ilúvatar's plan, Aulë in secret created the Dwarves underground from the substance he found there. As they were made in secret they became secretive in their nature.
Because Aulë didn't create the Dwarves out of malice, was this secretivness Ilúvatar's doing when he gave the Dwarves their free will, a part of Aulë's punishment/pentinence, or was that the prophesy that there would be conflict between the Dwarves and the firstborn?
Although the group of Teleri that became the Sindar did not make it to Aman, they were considered greater than the other groups of elves that did not go. Why is this?
Sindar were considered greater than other elves, because although they haven't seen the Two Trees they were 'enlightened' by Melian and Elwe. That does show that light (or wisdom) isn't assigned to Aman only.
How am I doing? I'm thoughtfully scraching my head ...
Like Grondy mentioned, the Dwarves were created in secret and so this is reflected in their nature. When Aule created them, the Valar were also at war with Melkor. Having the foresight to see they might be assailed by Melkor, Aule created them to be hardy and unyielding. Aule was impatient for the Children of Eru to arrive because he wished to teach his crafts to them. When he made the Dwarves, therefore, this thought was foremost in his mind. The Dwarves have always had a love of the Earth for this reason, mining, smelting, forging etc, like their maker.
Because the Dwarves were not part of Eru's plan, and thus not part of the third theme of music that he wove, there was liable to be discord between the Dwarves and his Children. This is also true with the creations of Yavanna, because Aule also kept his council from her. At the end of the chapter, when she tells him of the Ents who will be guarding the forests, he merely replies that the Dwarves will require wood. Trees are Yavanna's creation, and yet Aule seems to hold them in very little regard. This is also shown in the nature of the Dwarves.
Hi Orange. I'm pleased you are still with us.
Yes, the Sindar were greater than the other Moriquendi (Elves who did not see the light) because of Elwe and Melian. Elwe (Thingol) had seen the light, and Melian was Maiar. Between them, they would be able to teach their people many things that the other elves in Middle Earth at that time would not be privy to.
Does anyone have any thoughts on the other questions before we move on to the next assignment, or have any queries of their own?
Sorry I am so late on this assignment! I like what Grondy said about dwarves, though. But why are they not in the Third Theme, Val? I guess you sort of lost me.
I also liked what orange said about the Sindar. Also I think they were respected because they knew Middle-Earth better than the Elves from Aman because they had been there longer. For the Elves that went there from Aman, it was always a place of exile, for the Sindar it was home.
: To these the Valar had given a land and a dwelling-place. Even among the radiant flowers of the Tree-lit gardens of Valinor, they longed still at times to see the stars; and therefore a gap was made in the great walls of the Pelóri, and there in a deep valley that ran down to the see the Eldar raised a high green hill: Túna it was called.
What wall? What are Pelóri? This confused me quite a lot.
I'm actually beginning to enjoy the read, and though it's still not that interesting, it's becoming it more and more.
Pelori are the mountain range along the edge of Aman, which hides it from the ocean (metaphorical wall) get me?
Welcome Plastic... Now sit down and don't disturb the class.
As Plastic said, the Pelori are a chain of mountains that form the North, East and South borders of Valinor. They were built by the Valar with the intention of keeping Melkor out, and as such they were the tallest mountains in Arda, and their sides were sheer.
The only gap in this range was the Calacirya through which the Elves in Valinor could view the stars to the east, and the Telori could see the light of the Two Trees.
But why are they not in the Third Theme, Val? I guess you sort of lost me.
The three themes of the Great Music was one of the topics I raised in the First Assignment, but the question never got answered. In the first chapters you read about the Great Music of the Valar, and how from that musical theme Ea was created. The music was conducted in three parts (remember how the first two were interrupted by Melkor, and how the third theme was done by Eru alone).
Tolkien doesn't specifically say what these three themes represent in the creation of the Earth, but it is likely that the First theme represented the unbuilt forming of Ea which the Valar first entered. The second theme represents the shaping of Ea by the Valar once they had entered Ea, and the third theme, sung by Eru alone, is the Creation of the Children of Eru. The Children of Eru were the Elves and Men, not Dwarves, and thus Dwarves were not part of this music.
While on the subject, be careful not to confuse the Three Themes of the Great Music with the Second Great Music. The First Great Music created Ea and everything in it, while the Second Great Music deals with what happens after the end of Time when Ea is no more. This second Great Music involves Men, and it is the Gift of Man that they will participate in this music. Tolkien hints that Dwarves might also get to participate in this Second Music. It's theme is obviously Heaven.
I like your point, Sam, that the Sindar knew Middle Earth as home, while to the Noldor it was a place of Exile.
Ooooh! I see... It's the wall thingie that got me. But hey, it was pretty late when I started reading that chapter, and even later when I eventually finished it so don't blame me. Normally, I would have understood... Thanks
I get it now Val...do you think that Iluvatar knew that the dwarves were going to be, even if he didn't put them in the Third Theme? At several parts in the Sil., it states the Eru knows everything that will happen and nothing can be hidden from him. He seems angry at Aule when he finds the dwarves, but not surprised.
From what I understand of the three themes of the Great Music, Aule would have created the Dwarves during the second theme while the earth was being shaped. Eru alone took part in the third theme, melding the elements of the earlier two themes and adding parts of his own making. Only after the music had finished did the real work begin.
From this reasoning, my opinion is that Eru would have been aware of Aule's creation during the Music itself, but it would have been something he had not intended to happen, nor something that he could have stopped occuring once it had been sung. The life the Dwarves eventually had, however, was not given to them by Aule (he was not capable of doing that), but by Eru. What their eventual fate was, ie. were they tied to the fate of Ea like the Elves, or free of its constraints like Men (and part of the Second Great Music) I am unsure about.
Ai! Now the mystery of dwarves is realy cleared up for me!
But -
In chapter 3 it mentions that many woes befell because the Valar had summoned the Elves to Valinor. Why do you think this was?
Confounding q. Maybe elves were suposed to stay in Middle Earth where they were created? Valar should have aided them on the spot, that is. But Melkor would probably cause mischief anyway.

I think Eru gave them the idea like songwriter giving the band a theme to play. The music they then created was ad-lib around that concept.
What they played in music eventually came to be
Eru used his powers to turn their music into a vision
The vision was of Ea, and the future they had created through the music
Once they had seen the vision, they went into Ea and made it happen
The three themes are the main events or interactions between Eru and Melkor
1st theme was the building of Ea
2nd theme was the rebuilding after the war at the end of the 1st age
I think the 3rd theme came when Eru had to reshape the world after Numenor invaded Valinor
The 3rd theme might be the Final Battle at the End
In the music, you see Eru changing the theme to adapt to Melkor's rebellion, so the themes to mirror Eru's interactions with Melkor in Ea
Why are some Noldor golden haired while the norm is black?
Why does Feanor burn with such a powerful inner spirit?
Why did the Noldor have dealings with Melkor?
The sons of Finarfin were Finrod the faithful (who was afterwards named Felagund, Lord of Caves), Orodreth, Angrod, and Aegnor; these tour were as close in friendship with the sons of Fingolfin as though they were all brothers. A sister they had, Galadriel, most beautiful of all the house of Finwë; her hair was lit with gold as though it had caught in a mesh the radiance of Laurelin.
There she was often in the company of the sons of Fëanor, her kin; but to none was her heart's love given. Ar-Feiniel she was called, the White Lady of the Noldor, for she was pale though her hair was dark, and she was never arrayed but in silver and white.
although the marriage of Indis and Elenwe might have been noted solely because involving those in direct line to the throne.
There Elenwë the wife of Turgon was lost, and many others perished also; and it was with a lessened host that Fingolfin set foot at last upon the Outer Lands. Small love for Fëanor or his sons had those that marched at last behind him, and blew their trumpets in Middle-earth at the first rising of the Moon
There shining fountains played, and in the courts of Turgon stood images of the Trees of old, which Turgon himself wrought with elven-craft; and the Tree which he made of gold was named Glingal, and the Tree whose flowers he made of silver was named Belthil. But fairer than all the wonders of Gondolin was Idril, Turgon's daughter, she that was called Celebrindal, the Silver-foot, whose hair was as the gold of Laurelin before the coming of Melkor. The Silmarillion, 1977, p. 126

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

No real substance
Published: Monday, April 19, 2010 at 5:02 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, April 19, 2010 at 5:02 p.m.
To The Editor: As I read the last few Stephen Black columns railing against Christianity, a line from C.S. Lewis' classic "Screwtape Letters" came to mind: "Your man has been accustomed, ever since he was a boy, to having a dozen incompatible philosophies dancing around together inside his head."
The common thread through these articles is the desire for a simple faith, one that does not trouble one with pesky doctrines and deep thoughts of what is really true. Such a faith may seem more inviting, but it ultimately offers nothing of real substance. It gives one the emotional comfort of belief yet makes no demands of the believer. A faith of convenience: invoke God (or scripture) when it suits you, ignore Him when it suits you. I offer a few thoughts to those who would ponder them:
"To give truth to him who loves it not is but to give him more plentiful material for misinterpretation," George MacDonald.
"The fact that people have disputes and contradictory opinions is an immensely popular excuse today for not seeking the truth," Peter Kreeft.
"It is no good asking for a simple religion. After all, real things are not simple," C.S. Lewis.

How do u get in this position? My bo and I tried this once and it was very difficult for his penis to slide inside me. It just would not stay inside. We ended up spooning because we couldn't do this one. He has a nice size penis when erect so I don't think that size was the problem at all. Maybe I wasn't close enough...? We'll try it again. !
Similar to the Missionary position, both partners are lying down and facing each other in the Side-to-Side position. Although this takes away from penetration depth and thrusting mobility, it does free up one of the giver's arms to touch their partner. When playing in the Side-to-Side position, make sure to roll into and out of the Missionary and Reverse Missionary positions often!
What works for my husband and me is to start in the Missionary position. Then I bring my bent legs up along his sides and then we roll over. Works ever time. At this time you can straight out your lower leg if you like.
It is a wonderful position!!! Penetration isn't as deep as other positions but there is something about the leg bent up and somewhat over your fellow that allows friction on different spots. I've done it probably 10 men ranging from 5" to about 8". It works well for all sizes. I'm told my vagina is kinda tight and this position spreads me pretty wide open. Send me a message if you would like to discuss.
this is a perfect position to get a good handful of her ass for gropping and grip or feeling up on her side vagina lips for stimulation.
My fiance and I just did spoons position with anal and his own little added extra... very mind blowing multiple orgasmic.
I'm a 65 year old single guy. My latest girlfriend who is 64 introduced this position to me...wow!!! Despite what you might think a long penis isn't required. I'm about 5 3/4" with an upward curve and get almost full penetration. My girlfriend likes it because of great clitoral stimulation and since my penis is kind of thick the position spreads her nicely open.
It is a very intimate position with just gentle rocking and thrusting and because she is much shorter than me and puts our lips as a kissable level.
The first time we tried I didn't think it would work due to my modest length...what a pleasant surprise.
My b/f solved my problem .....
Love to try this with someone, my husband's dick is to short for the task.....
Dawn, unless you husband's penis is extremely short I can't imagine what problems you two might have. There are a few position where a longer penis is necessary but not this one. An old girlfriend of mine used to like straddling me. Her hip movement was such that I was always sliding out of her. She later told me that her ex-husband of 30 years had a much longer penis than me. I wish I would have discovered the side to side position many years ago.
My husband's dick is less than 2" fully erect so you can see my problem.
a very good position, very intimate, my fiance'e n i loved it, we were very relaxed. once we got at the right angle n level it felt awesome, great clit n gspot stimulation
We tried this many times, and yet haven't found the right angle for him to go in :/
Start with him on top and raise you knees up along his sides with your feet down. Then both of you roll over on to your sides. You can adjust your legs for what feels good. A variation is for you then to partly roll back which make so that he provide direct stimulation. Depending on your sizes he may also be able to lick and kiss your nipples. If he does slow in and outs while doing the direct stimulation and kissing your nipple, the results can be mind blowing. I have had as many as four orgasms this way with last one with him rolled back on top and fucking me as fast and hard as he can.
try to get one of your legs on top of his, get him down to where he is below your pussy n have him come up from under it n urself as close to you, as in your hips/pelvis area as you can n see if that doesnt help :)
me and my boyfriend do this 1 alot because he has to share a bed room with his little brother and have to be careful we dont get seen, we start kissing, he will slowly take my hand down too feel his dick, i wank him off and he plays with me. when he starts getting wet i rub the top of his dick up and down on my, it feels amazing! then i caefully guide him in and we bring our bodies together to thrust. we have real good sex like this and he always cums. weve never been caught
This position makes me so wet..
Me too
i did this last weekend but with a twist instead of having my leg bend at his side i put it up over his shoulder. it was amazing he was hitting my g-spot perfectly ans he made me cum in a matter of a few minute. the only thing is going it that way it, it doesnt allow for deep penetration but it hits all the spots that are just barely hit in normal sex.
Me and my boyfriend LOVE this position!! Makes us come every time!
Can anyone do this sucessfully with the woman's leg bent underneath the man instead of the leg straight? It seems my weight on my wife's leg is too much to bare.
This brings back the old days...lol My future hubby and I love this along with many others. Yes, I'm 18. However, I've been with my future hubby for 11 years, we started going out in second grade. lol does that count? teehee! It's so romamtic! This is our fave, and on our honeymoon this summer it's gonna be great!
me and my boyfriend tried this but we couldn't get it to work...help?
me and my boyfriend have been wanting sex and cant decide what we want to do, i think this is a great thing to try. with him holding me and saying that he loves me, =) i cant wait to tell him
This a pretty nice postition to start up. Very romantic aswell, the kissing and cuddling, the touching all over the body. Touching her clit / touching his penis, massage her clit and pussy lips with his dick, dip it in her pussy just a tiny bit. Very good turn on for both parts, and personally its very pleasureable because of all the kissing, cuddling, touching and so on. Very very nice start up position. Nice as a relaxing postition too. But then i preffer the normal spoon more than this. Have fun, and give your woman the pleasure she wants!
My sweetie and I used to do the initial stick-in and get things going a lot in this position after facing each for kissing and mutual fondling and pressing my hard dick against her pussy with my leg, but we'd transition to something else pretty quickly.
This posistion is so much better when the girls leg is on the guys shoulder!
We've been doing this more lately. It is a good position for us to get started. We just start with some foreplay and she likes to lift her leg over me so I can stroke her pussy. Then she likes to reach down and use my cock for a little toy play on her clit. Then she gets my cock lined up so my natural lube gets on her labia. It allows for a nice slow entry into her and I enjoy the nice slow feel of her pussy as it engulfs my cock. We usually move into a different position to get some nice hard fucking going on. But this is a nice start position for us.
A very good version of the side starts in the missionary position. Then I raise my knees along his side and we roll over together. After getting situated, I partially roll back. This gives my husband good access to kiss, lick, and suck my boob that is closest and to stimulate my clitoris with his finger. This coupled with him doing very slow in and outs lets me savor his dick going in me. The result of all three of these going on at the same time is two or three awesome orgasms. To finish up after 20 minutes or so, he then rolls back on top and really screws me with fast and deep thrusting. After this I have a glow that lasts a long time.
This looks soo sweeeet!
Aww just the thought of staring into my baby's eyes whilst he tenderly makes love tome, this has to be intimate!! :)
I agree... such a sweet and lovely position.
My wife and I have discovered this position accidentally and I tell you that this position rocks!!! We cum awfully quick, but both of us have explosive orgasm in the process!
Tried this one for the first time the other week, amazing and the perfect leadup to me jumping on top, positions you perfectly. Incredibly intimate too, I loved fucking my fiance like that and would gladly do it again.
This position is kind of hard to get yourself in the right spot. Both him and her have to really be close together in order to not have the penis slip out.
Me and my boyfriend tried this once or twice when we have people in the house. it's probably the most quietest position there is. but it can be tricky if you want to penetrate.
A good one for the first position of the night. My sweetie and I will snuggle face to face and kiss, feel each other, then I'll slip my leg between hers, she'll open up, and we'll get to it pretty quickly. I'm a pretty normal size and it works fine.
thats nice...
i REALLY want to try this position. i always have. but my boyfriend wont. he says he "isnt big enough" for it to work. help?
my fiance isn't exactly huge, he's just average, and it works perfectly, so unless your boyfriend actually has a tiny dick I'm sure you'll be fine.
try foreplay to lead up to the mood. tease him big time and he will be begging you to do it then u can get him into the position of your choice
it waz okay bt hiz dick did slip out couple of timez so i dont really care bout diz one
i love when my boyfriend and i do this one.
he grabs my ass and pulls me on to him really hard!
that combined with his hard thrusts are enough to send us both over the edge in a very short time.
Thats awesome! I cant look my guy in the eyes for very long. I feel weird. I love him to death and back! But for some reason eye contact during sex is always so weird for me. Is that a bad sign?
same here, awesome position to make love not just fuck.
hold on to that shit. Love is a rare thing
This one drives my girl and I wild; 30 seconds or less and we're both losing control. I love it because her breasts are in my face, she loves it because I can really pound her; we love it because it's so intimate.
Ladies: Wrap your legs around him and lock your ankles.
Men: Grab her butt and pull her close while you show her how much you love her!
okayy me and my bf tried this a weekend ago and it wasnt tht awesome. he kept slippin out and it got frustrating.
What can i say.... im a face to face girl. I love looking at him when hes f*cking me and i love giving him cute little kisses on the cheek during this one.
i wanna try this position with my bf.
any advice or tips to make this position workk??
also, will he slip outt??
good transition from woman ontop, to woman on bottom, ...start ontop, lean down and straighten one leg ontop of his, then roll over into this position, when you get bored of this he just needs to push over ontop of you, it's not hard, and he's not going any where
My gf and I actually tried this by mistake. Lol I know you are wondering how, well we were making a video and she had been on top. I wanted to get on top of her but she was feeling so good inside i didnt want come out. So as we rolled over to the side we kind of got stuck there and stroked it out for a minute. It was GREAT! and then proceeded to go as planned.

As I (probably) mentioned before, this fall started my dietetic internship. I spent the spring and summer finishing up (most of) my classes so I could focus on the internship this academic year, but, again, condensing 3 years into 2 doesn't really allow for that, so I was still taking 3 graduate level classes and challenging a 4th course while doing my clinical rotations and Poudre Valley Hospital and Medical Center of the Rockies. I went to the hospital(s) 4 days a week, took 2 of my classes on Tuesday afternoons, and my 3rd on Wednesday evening after work. Because I've already been accepted into a dietetic internship, and I will never again be applying to anything that needs a transcript, I told my advisor that I'm going to be shooting for B's, rather than A's, this semester, which is exactly what I did. Most of my work was completed the morning it was due. Presentations were thrown together hours before class started, papers were roughly drafted and turned in. Is this the best way to learn things? Probably not. But do you know what I did learn? The amount of effort difference between a 95% and and 85% is dramatic. You have to work your tail off to get a 95% (as I have most of my college career), but you barely have to do anything to get an 85%. So that was fun and I ended up with a very respectable A, A-, and B+ in my 3 classes.
My days at the hospital was spent mostly looking at people charts and trying to figure out what they would need from a dietitian, going into their rooms and chatting with them, starting tube feeds and intravenous feeds, going to rounds with incredibly smart doctors, and charting on all of it. I learned tons and got to meet a lot of dietitians. I also got to work in the outpatient diabetes center and educate and do counseling with people with all sorts of nutritional needs including diabetes, celiac disease, bariatric surgery, etc. Starting Monday I will be working with a school district dietitian, and in March I'll be commuting to Denver for my community rotation. I have classes on Thursday afternoons this semester, so I'll be working in the morning until March and then not at all on Thursday when I start going to Denver.
In September, it finally happened. Casey became a crazy cat lady and got a kitten. Going with the house-elf theme, her name is Hokey and she's adorable. She's bigger than this now, and my cats are getting much better about not hating her, so we'll put that in the "success" column.
This summer, Casey and I ran a 5k through bubbles. Casey
loved it will probably never run a 5k again
Rob and I went skiing last March, and for not having done it in 9 years I didn't suck.
However, buying a day pass and renting equipment can cost over $100 just for the day, so this year we decided to go economical. We went to a ski swap and got boots, skis and bindings. We spent about $300 total. Then we bought 2 4-packs each for 2 different resorts, which also cost about $300 total. So, all in all, we each spent $300 for the season and will get to go skiing 8 times. We had to buy a few things like goggles and poles on top of that, but nothing too extravagant. We've been once already and are planning on going Saturday as well.
Rob got accepted to a program to do research in Australia! He will be gone for 3 months starting next December. I'm having an internal struggle about whether I should be an adult and get a job with health insurance by the time I turn 26 in November, or whether I should just blow that off and go to Australia with Rob....I guess we'll see how the job hunt goes next year.
Rob and I also hiked our first 14ers! Colorado has around 50 14,000 ft peaks, and Rob and I did 4 of them in 1 day. We didn't train at all and breathing was a bit difficult. It was a little exhausting, but very cool! We started at about 12,000 feet and hiked up to the first one. The other 3 didn't require as much of a decent and acent between them. Then we went back down to our car from the top of the 4th.
In June, we moved into our new house! It's wonderful and amazing and beautiful and we just love it. I've spent most of the break scrubbing the white grout between the white tile (who's idea was that?) and sealing it all, along with shampooing the white carpet (seriously people?). I'll take some pictures get a post up so you can see how nice it is soon.
Currently (like right this second) I'm supposed to be writing my thesis so that I can defend in the spring. I've been a bad procrastinator so far on that project. I'm really just a deadline person and this whole "work at your own pace" thing is something I struggle with. I'm going to go to campus later and make myself sit at a computer for 6 hours and get some work done. I plan to walk at graduation in May, but because my internship is only 4 days a week instead of 5, I won't actually be done until like July. Either way, I have to defend my research this semester, which means this paper must be written!
On that note, I guess I'll go be productive on the last day of this year. Hope everyone else's years have been great!
Oh, PS, Rob and I are not engaged, contrary to popular belief. Maddie and Stacy just play cruel tricks on the world...you can ignore them. :)

THEATER REVIEW; A Lone Woman in the Forest? Is This a Neil Simon Play?
By BEN BRANTLEY
Published: November 7, 1997
On most nights just after 8, a lone woman wanders onto the stage of the Broadhurst Theater with a marveling, slightly stunned expression. As she looks intently at the very sylvan setting around her, running her hands over a piece of rustic furniture, she seems to be asking a silent, probing question, one no doubt shared by much of the audience watching her: ''Hey, am I in the right place? I thought there was supposed to be a Neil Simon play going on here.''
It will soon become abundantly, even achingly, evident that no one has strayed into the wrong theater. But the first scene of ''Proposals,'' the new comedy by Mr. Simon, which opened last night, does create a few tantalizing moments of disorientation.
The set, the wonderful work of John Lee Beatty, is a very sweet slice of countryside, greener than Oz and complemented by choruses of bird song. This from Mr. Simon, America's comic master of the urban interior? But wait: the woman alone on the stage is the actress L. Scott Caldwell, who happens to be black.
Now unless you count the Bill Cosby-Richard Pryor episode of the movie version of ''California Suite'' (and kinder souls do not), Mr. Simon, who specializes in Jewish wisecrackers with fractured hearts, has never created a major black character before. What's more, Ms. Caldwell's role will clearly be the central one in ''Proposals.'' And by the way, her character, at least when first seen, is a ghost, a device the author has flirted with before (in ''Jake's Women''), but never as fully as here.
There is certainly something to be said for catching your audience off guard as a means of leading it into unfamiliar terrain. What Mr. Simon has done, though, is to introduce an expectation of novelty that will prove to be only a tease.
''Proposals,'' an animated map of romantic entanglements in the Poconos in 1953, sets up an array of signposts indicating new directions from the dazzlingly successful, intimidatingly prolific playwright who changed the very face of American comedy on Broadway. In addition to the more superficial detours from customary Simon fare, there are intimations of a cosmic tone to the evening, centered on a sense of individual mortality.
But all this is just lip service. ''Proposals,'' directed by Joe Mantello, is more artificial and laugh-hungry than Mr. Simon's self-described farce of 1988, ''Rumors.'' Much has been made of his return to a big house on Broadway, after presenting his last work, ''London Suite,'' at a theater off Union Square. But what he really seems to be going back to here are his origins as a sketch writer for the early days of television comedy, which Mr. Simon portrayed in his last Broadway production, ''Laughter on the 23d Floor.''
Though it may aspire to a sense of the natural flow of life and death, ''Proposals'' still tends to break down into mechanical, self-contained segments: of dueling one-liners, lip-biting emotional confrontations and long embroideries on single comic conceits.
When you learn, for example, that a character has only one good eye, you can be sure that this will generate at least a few minutes worth of jokes. And another character's penchant for malapropisms is milked for far longer. Sometimes these cumulative variations on a single jest take on a dizzy absurdity. But most often it's like watching a virus run its course.
''Proposals'' plies the backward-looking formula Mr. Simon used, with far greater appeal, in his breakthrough trilogy of autobiographical plays: ''Brighton Beach Memoirs,'' ''Biloxi Blues'' and ''Broadway Bound.'' Like them, it presents a self-portrait of the artist as a young man (here a struggling novelist played by Matt Letscher) and frames it with the commentary of a droll narrator.
The difference is that the narrator is not the young artist figure, but Ms. Caldwell's character, Clemma Diggins, a maid. Clemma keeps house for, and offers wise counsel to, the ailing Burt Hines (Dick Latessa) and his 20-ish daughter, Josie (Suzanne Cryer), during what will be their last summer at the family cabin in the Poconos.
The plot starts grinding when Josie breaks off her engagement to the moody preppie Ken (Reg Rogers), whose best friend, Ray (Mr. Letscher), is the real object of Josie's affections, although he is currently involved with a lovely but dim fashion model named Sammii (Katie Finneran).
Then there's a third suitor, Vinnie (Peter Rini), a hip-gyrating, chain-wearing Mafia scion from Florida who directly brings to mind the Fonz from ''Happy Days.'' And both Burt and Clemma are expecting visits from their estranged spouses: Annie (Kelly Bishop), Josie's mother who has since remarried, and Lewis (Mel Winkler), who walked out on Clemma seven years earlier.
That all of these people converge on one spot during one hectic weekend is something that ''Proposals'' pauses briefly to acknowledge with lines like, ''God, they're going to build another lane in the highway.'' That Clemma is remembering these proceedings from beyond the grave suggests that Mr. Simon has an ordering, providential destiny in mind.
