CentreCom - Microsoft Comfort Optical Mouse 1000 Black USB - $9.99
Posted By: taskel, posted 2009/09/02 08:55
Not a bad price for this wee mouse, cheap enough to buy and keep as a back up incase your regular mouse gives up. It's wired too, if you hate having to worry about charging, or buying batteries.
Seems to be priced at at least $20 everywhere else.

- Sticky cogwheels are annoying. I had the wheel on the mighty mouse I use do the same the other day. Stupidly to get in there and clean them means breaking the mouse apart - not very smart design. So I took it back and they swapped it for a newbie which I really dont get. The mouse is fine it just needs the rollers cleaned.

Most Helpful
Loved this recipe, my husband enjoyed it too. I also think it would be wonderful with pork ribs. I followed the recipe exactly and doubled the sauce. THANKS!
This chicken came out very tender and tasty. We loved the sweet and tangy sauce. (The secret is to let it marinate so the chicken absorbs the wonderful flavors.) The next time I will double the sauce. Served over rice and you have a great meal. Thanks KittenCal.
This chicken was very good! I used boneless chicken breasts. The chicken came out moist and delicious! I served the chicken with rice and corn. Thanks for a great recipe KITTENCAL BASS ; )

About the brand
James Perse grew up in Los Angeles, spending plenty of time on the floor of his father's famed boutique, Maxfield's. His first product (the all-around-perfect baseball cap, launched in 1991) was designed specifically to be sold there. It wasn't long before demand grew, and by 1994 he had started in on his ultra-soft everyday t-shirts; today, the minimilast, utterly wearable line includes clothing, shoes, and even furniture.

Previous Challenge Entry (Level 3 - Advanced)
Topic: Soul (07/13/06)
TITLE: The Boy Who Kept the Chickens
By Sandra Petersen
I saw him trudge up the road toward the old Berrick farm in mid-July and followed at a distance. The dust clouds that enveloped him disguised his youth but not his poverty. His bib overalls bagged over his skeletal frame.
The sun blazed down upon him. Sweat rivulets streaked his face. He stumbled at the steps of the sagging wooden porch.
Both Ma and Pa Berrick waited for him at the top of the steps. They had watched his approach from the windows facing the road.
�Who�re you?� Pa Berrick demanded.
The boy grunted and gestured toward his mouth, then shook his head.
�Th� boy�s a mute,� muttered Ma. �Wonder if he�s lookin� fer a job?�
The boy perked up at that. With animated motions he mimed hoeing a garden.
�Well,� snorted Pa, �Maybe we can use you somehow.�
That was how the boy came to live with Ma and Pa Berrick, and how he became known as �Chicken Boy� to everyone.
The Berrick�s were renowned for their miserly ways. Mr. Schroeder, the feed mill operator, once said, �You don�t want t�get into a parley with Pa Berrick about the cost of chicken feed. If it warn�t for them supplyin� me fresh eggs and poultry, I�da told him long ago t�go elsewhere!�
The owner of the general store, Mr. Jacobs, said the same about Ma. �She�ll argue over the price of a pinch of salt!�
When the boy first came into town with them, riding in the bed of the wagon, all of the town children clustered around the feed mill door. That was the couple�s usual first stop.
Pa reined up the mule and secured the wagon to a post. He motioned to the boy to begin loading while he went inside to �parley�.
�See you�ve got a helper, Hiram,� Mr. Schroeder commented.
The old man grunted, �Yup.�
�What�s his name?�
�Don�t know. Kid�s dumb, cain�t say a word.�
�Hey! Ain�t he a bit spare to be heftin� them bags o� corn?� Mr. Schroeder watched as the boy, staggering under the weight, shouldered a burlap sack onto the wagon.
�He better, or he�ll be down th� road.� Pa Berrick scowled and began negotiating.
The same thing happened at the general store, only this time with Ma �parleying� over price and the boy carrying her merchandise to the wagon.
I saw his face as he climbed up into the back of the wagon to return to the farm. The exertion had left him so white that I could count every freckle. He plopped down across the feed sacks, his thin chest rising and falling rapidly with his breath.
Behind me someone muttered, �How anyone with half a soul can treat another soul like that is more�n I can say.�
The next time I saw him was when Mama decided to get some eggs from Ma Berrick in exchange for two loaves of freshly baked bread and some produce from our garden. I went along out of curiosity.
While the two womenfolk visited, I searched out �Chicken Boy�. I opened the door and poked my head inside the chicken house. Sunlight shafted through dusty screened windows onto a mattress and pillow in one corner of the large room. Hens squawked complaints. When he saw me, �Chicken Boy� scurried to hide something under his pillow.
�It�s alright. I won�t tell.� I motioned for him to show me his treasure. With uncertainty and fear in his eyes, he handed me the book he had hidden.
�It�s a Bible! Look here; on the front page it gives yer name.� I squinted at the writing. �James Davis, �n� you were born. . . why, yer only seven! Do you know how to read this book?�
He nodded. A tear trickled down his face. It was then I saw the fresh welt across his cheek
Compassion surged in my teenaged heart. He had sold his body to the Berricks for shelter and food, but they had not taken his soul. He trusted the Lord.
My mother called for me.
�Read Psalm 23,� I whispered, and prayed for the Lord to watch over James. I vowed to help him somehow.
When I told Papa, he and some townspeople went to investigate. James had moved on by then. At least, that was the story the Berricks told. I had doubts, for I saw a fresh mound of dirt behind the chicken house.

Welcome to our site
This is a personal site, non-commercial, which we hope may be helpful to experienced cuckold couples as well as those curious about the cuckold lifestyle whether their role is that of bull, cuckold husband or hotwife.
Cuckolding, in modern usage, is when a couple invite a man to take over the husband's sexual role in the marriage. For those serious about the cuckold lifestyle this is a long term arrangement with one man rather than just casual sex encounters with several. Normally the husband will be present when his wife has sex with her lover but will not penetrate her.
The three-way interaction between the bull, the wife and the cuckold is what makes this lifestyle so delicious and compelling to us.
n a man whose wife has proved unfaithful
vt to make a cuckold (of)
[OFr cucault from cucu cuckoo]
cuck'oldize or cuck'oldise vt to make a cuckold.
cuck'oldly adj (Shakesp)
cuck'oldom or cuck'oldry n the state of a cuckold; the act of making a cuckold.
cuck'old-maker n.
- Chambers Dictionary
The word cuckold is a derivation of cuckoo, an allusion to the female cuckoo's promiscuous mating habits and it's habit of leaving eggs in other birds' nests.
What do you mean by the cuckold lifestyle?
With modern cuckolding the husband is fully aware and tolerates his wife having sex with other men, often encouraging her to do so.
With many couples the wife does not merely have affairs and/or promiscuous sex with others but forms a committed relationship, which can be monogamous, with a third-party male. He is often chosen primarily for his sexual prowess hence the term "bull" is used to describe him. Obviously opening your marriage to a third party male is not something that should be done without much thought and, like any relationship, it will need much effort and consideration from all parties to make it work. Mutual trust and a close bond are essential for a couple contemplating a cuckold marriage.
When a cuckold relationship really works it can be very rewarding, strengthening a couple's commitment to each other and bringing them closer together.
The typical cuckold husband
A weak physique, under-developed genitalia, a meek demeanour - the age old stereotype is definitely no longer accurate. There are many reasons why men allow their wives to cuckold them and it is not purely concerned with their ability as a lover or the size of their genitalia.
Many men fantasise about watching their partner make love with an attractive man and find they enjoy having a partner who is attractive to other men and who enjoys her sexuality.
The typical cuckoldress
She will enjoy the dominance that expressing her sexuality with her chosen lover gives her over her husband. She will enjoy having her husband who supports her in her pursuit of quality sex and is selflessly committed to her. She has the best of all worlds - a husband who loves her and a proficient lover to see to her needs.

MA RCUS I. N Ys'ruE/v A T TOP/v5 Y5 ELECTRONIC CONTROL MEANS FOR DISPENSING APPARATUS BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention In many types of material dispensing devices, such as apparatus for dispensing soap in water for dishwashers and the like, it is desirable to maintain the final mixture at a desired consistency. To preform this task the apparatus must include a sensor which monitors a particular condition of the mixture, such as conductivity, heat, weight, etc., and controls a valve or the like, which in turn controls at least one of the components in the mixture. In the example of the dishwasher, a conductivity cell normally monitors the amount of soap in the water and, when the soap falls below a desired level, the conductivity cell produces a signal which opens a valve to add more soap to the water.
2. Description of the Prior Art In the prior art, conductivity cells are utilized to control switching circuits, which in turn control solenoid valves or the like to feed material into a mixture. Generally these control devices are connected to an alternating source of electrical power and the units are highly susceptible to hunting (operating the solenoid valve at a relatively high rate) when the mixture is close to the desired consistency. Further, transients in the power supply have a tendency to cause the unit to inadvertently operate and changes in the power supply voltage greatly effect the set point at which the unit operates.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention pertains to electronic control means including condition responsive means for sensing variations in a predetermined condition and switching means normally biased into a first state with platform producing means for providing an electrical signal of a predetermined level at specifically determined periods and means for summing the output of the condition responsive ,means and platform producing means to cause the switching means to switch only when the condition responsive means produces a signal of a predetermined amplitude in a desired direction.
It is an object of the present invention to provide new and improved electronic control means for use with dispensing apparatus and the like.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide improved control means constructed to greatly reduce hunting and inadvertent operation caused by transients and the like.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide improved control means which are less susceptible to variations in power supply voltage.
These and other objects of this invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art upon consideration of the accompanying specification, claims and drawings.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS Referring to the drawings, wherein like characters indicate like parts throughout the figures:
FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic view of a dishwashing unit having the present electronic control means operatively attached thereto; and
FIG. 2 is a schematic view of the present electronic control means.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT in the figures the numeral generally designates a dishwasher having a solution tank 11 at the bottom thereof with a conductivity cell 12 affixed in one wall so that the sensing portion thereof is positioned within a solution in the solution tank 1 l. A reservoir 13 positioned externally on a side wall generally above the level of the solution in the tank 11 contains a saturated solution of some material, such as a detergent or the like, and a water line 14 conducts water to the reservoir 13, when desired, to cause the reservoir 13 to overflow into the solution tank 11 and raise the concentration of the detergent solution in the tank 1 l. A solenoid valve 15 is connected to mechanically control the flow of water in the water line 14 and is electrically connected to a control unit l6. The water line 14 further has a manual type control valve 17 which controls the flow of water in the line 14 for purposes of maintenance, etc. The water line 14 is connected to a water supply line 18, which is in turn connected to a source of water (not shown). The control unit 16 is connected to a suitable source of power, such as US Volts AC, through a transformer 19. The transformer 19 reduces the voltage applied to the control unit 16 to some suitable amplitude. such as 20 Volts AC. It should be understood that the application of the control apparatus, illustrated in FIG. 1, is simply utilized for explanatory purposes and many other applications for the control unit 16 with or without the conductivity cell 12 or some similar type of condition responsive means and with or without. the solenoid valve 15, may be devised by those skilled in the art. Referring more specifically to FIG. 2, the control unit 16, operatively connected to the conductivity cell 12 and the solenoid 15 is illustrated schematically. The control unit includes a pair of input terminals 25 and 26 having lines 27 and 28 connected thereto, respectively. The line 28 is' connected to the terminal 26 through an off-on switch 29. The terminals 25 and 26 are adapted to be connected to a suitable source of power, such as 20 Volts AC supplied by the transformer 19. The lines 27 and 28 are in effect buss-type power lines which supply power to the remainder of the circuitry.
One lead of a resistor 35 is connected to a terminal 36 and the opposite lead is connected to the line 28. One lead of the conductivity cell 12 is connected to the terminal 36 and the opposite lead is connected to the line 27. A second resistor 37 is connected between the line 28 and a second terminal 38 and the terminal 38 is connected through the stationary leads of a potentiometer 39 and a resistor 40 to the line 27. Resistors 35, 37 and'40, conductivity cell 12 and potentiometer 39 form an electrical bridge circuit with the terminal 36 and the movable contact of the potentiometer 39, designated 39a, forming the output terminals. A capacitor 41 is connected in parallel with the potentiometer 39 and resistor 40 between the terminal 38 and the line 27 to offset the capacitive reactance of the conductivity cell 12. An alternate range is supplied for the bridge circuit by providing a parallel connection of a resistor 42 and a capacitor 43 connected between the line 28 and a terminal 44, i
which terminal 44 may be connected to the terminal 36. The bridge circuit is normally constructed or biased so that the terminal 36 is negative relative to the movable contact 39a and the setting of the movable contact a adetermines the normal or the set point about which the conductivity cell 12 will vary.
Thus, the movable contact 39a is a concentration adjustment for the control unit 16 to determine the concentration of the solution in the solution tank 11.
A primary winding 47 of a transformer, generally designated 48, is connected between the terminal 36 and the movable contact 39a to receive the output signals from the bridge circuit and induce them in a secondary winding 49 of the transformer 48. The transformer 48 has a step-up ratio of approximately one to ten between the primary winding 47 and the secondary winding 49 so that it furnishes some amplification for the output signal of the bridge circuit as. well as isolating the bridge circuit from the remainder of the circuitry. The transformer 48 is wound so that (during positive half-cycles) the upper end thereof (in FIG. 2) is normally negative and the lower end thereof is normally positive. A capacitor 52 is connected across the secondary winding 49 to aid in removing any transients from the signal induced into the secondary winding 49. The lower end of the secondary winding 49 is connected through a resistor 53 to the line 28 and to the cathode of a zener diode 54. The anode of the zener diode 54 is connected through a relatively large filter capacitor 55 to the line 28 and to the anode of a semiconductor diode 56, the cathode of which is connected to the line 27. The resistor 53, zener diode 54 and semiconductor diode 56 form a voltage divider circuit lated switching circuit, generally designated 60. The switching circuit 60 is encapsulated to reduce the effects of humidity and the likeand it should be understood that encapsulation is not required.
The encapsulated switching circuit60 contains an N-P-N type transistor 63, having an emitter 64, a base 65 and a collector 66, and an P-N-Ptype transistor 67, having an emitter 68, a base 69 anda collector 70. The emitter 64 of the transistor 63 is connected to the anodeof a diode 73, the cathode of which is. connected to a terminal 74 of the switching circuit 60 and directly therethrough to the line 27. The terminal 74 is also connected through a protective-type capacitor 75 to the base 65 of the transistor 63, which is also connected through a current limiting resistor 76 to the terminal 59 of the switching circuit 60. The collector 66 of the transistor 63 is connected through a resistor 79 to a terminal 80 of the switching circuit 60, which is connected through a relatively large capacitor 81 to the line 28. The capacitor 81 and resistor 79 form a delay or integrating circuit which delays the appearance of a signal on the terminal 80 once the transistor 63 is triggered into conduction. The terminal 80 is connected to the cathode of a semiconductor diode 82, the anode of which is connected through a resistor 83 to the base 69 of the transistor 67. The emitter 68 of the transistor 67 is connected to a terminal 84 and the collector 70 is connected to a terminal 85 of the switching circuit 60. The terminal 84 is connected to the anode of a zener diode 86, the cathode of which is connected to the line 28, and the terminal 85 is connected to one lead of a resistor 89. The opposite lead of the resister 89 is connected to a junction 90, which is connected through a resistor 91 to the line 27. It should be understood that the switching circuit 60 is simply illustrated for explanatory purposes and a great variety of modifications and innovations might be made thereto.
An SCR (silicon controlled rectifier) 95 has a cathode 96 connected directly .to the line 27 and a gate 97 connected directly to the junction 90 between the resistors 89 and 91. An anode 98 of the SCR 95 is connected to one end of a resistor 99, the other end of which is connected to a'junctionl00. The junction 100 is connected through a relatively large storage capacitor 101 to the line 28. The junction 100 is also connected to an emitter 102 of angN-P-N type transistor 103. A base 104 of the transistor 103 is connected through a resistor 105 to the M28. A collector 106 of the transistor 103 is connected through a resistor 107 to a gate 108 of a triac 109. A number one main terminal 110 of the triac 109 is connected directly to the line 28 and a number two main terminal 111 of I the triac 109 is connected through the winding of the solenoid valve to the line 27. The SCR 95, transistor 103 and triac 109 form a portion of the switching circuit, although they are not encapsulated with the portion of the switching. circuit 60, and it should be understood that variations and modifications thereof may be provided by those skilled in the art.
Typical examples of component values for control apparatus utilizing a Volt AC power source are listed below.

Since'the remainder of the circuitry. only operates when the terminal 26 ispositive relative to theter-, minal 25 (the positive half-cycles of the 20 Volts AC),'the
operation of the circuitry will-be considered with the line 28' positive relative to the line 27 and it should be understood that all of the described circuitry will be in a non-conducting state when the line 28' is negative relative to the line 27. In view of the above-described conditions, the conductivity cell 12 appears as a variable resistance with the value thereof decreasing as the concentration of the solution in tank 11 increases and the value thereof increasing as the concentration of the solution decreases. Because a decrease in the resistance value of the conductivity cell 12 indicates an increase in concentration of the solution above the desired amount or set point, it is important that the upper end of the secondary winding 49 of the transformer 48 increase in negative value to maintain the transistor 63 in a non-conducting state. Because an alternating The voltage across the secondary winding 49, the diode 58, r
the resistor 76 and the base 65-emitter 64 junction of the transistor 63 (which is normally well below that required'to produce conduction inthe transistor 63) add to counteract the voltage produced across the zener diode 54. The'diodes 56 and 73 are positioned oppositely in the circuit so that they off- I set each other and need not be considered. Because of the normal operating characteristics of the zener diode 54, as the positive voltage on the line 28 increases sinusoidally the voltage across the zener diode 54 increases to a maximum level (approximately 10 Volts in this embodiment) and, therefore,
forms a platform, during a small portion of the positive half of the wave form, which biasing platform tends to offset the signal at the transistor 63, produced by the induced signal in the secondary winding 49, the diode 58 and the resistor-76. As the signal voltage across the secondary winding 49 becomes less negative, or more positive, due to a reduction in concentration of the solution sensed by the conductivity cell 12, the sum of the voltages providing the bias between the base 65 and emitter 64 of the transistor 63 increases to a value suffrcient to produce conduction in the transistor 63. Because the platform produced by the zener diode 54 is only prevalent supply voltage, out of phase signals which tend to lag or lead the supply voltage and cause triggering of the transistor during the beginning or end portions of the positive half-cyclesof the supply voltage are eliminated and cannot effect the transistor 63. Further, only transients that occur during the time the 7 platform produced by the zener diode 54 is present can affect the transistor 63 and, therefore, substantial numbers of transients are eliminated. In addition to providing the above advantages, the present biasing system does not effect the sensitivity of the circuit because the transformer 48 is constructed with a one-to-lO step-up ratio so that a one volt change in the voltage between the terminal 36 and the movable contact 39a produces a volt change across the secondary winding 49.
Upon a sufiicient change in the biasing circuit of the transistor 63 to produce a change of state, in this embodiment to produce conduction, charging current begins to flow into the capacitor 81 with the voltage across the capacitor 81 being initially zero and the voltage across the resistor 79 being initially approximately the same as the voltage between the lines 27 and 28. If the transistor 63 continues in the conduction state long enough, the capacitor 81 charges to approximately the full value so that the voltage at the junction 80 is reduced to a value approximately equal to the voltage on line 27. When the terminal 80 drops to this value the transistor 67 is biased into a conducting state and current flows through the zener diode 86, the transistor 67, the resistor 89 and the resistor 91. Thus, the capacitor 81 and the resistor 79, which form electrical storage means or an integrating circuit, operate to delay the change of state of the transistor 67 until the transistor 63 has been in a conduction state for a predetermined period of time, which in this embodiment is between 10 and 50 milliseconds, so that transients normally do not operate to trigger the circuit and only a low concentration signal from the conductivity cell 12 will generally cause the circuit to operate.
With current flowing through the resistor 91, as described above, there is sufficient current at the junction 90 to flow into the gate 97 of the SCR 95 and produce conduction thereof. Once the SCR 95 begins to conduct, it conducts until the capacitor 101 charges sufiiciently to forward bias the transistor 103 and produce conduction thereof. Gate current is then free to flow in the triac 109 and this device continues to conduct through both the positive and negative half-cycles of the voltage supply until the preceeding switching circuitry is triggered into a non-conducting state and the capacitor 101 is discharged. The capacitor 101 is of a substantially large size so that it continues to supply gate current to the triac 109 through at least one complete cycle. Thus, the capacitor 101 is an electrical storage device which delays the turning off of the circuit until at least one complete cycle is completed so that hunting and the like are eliminated from the operation. It should be understood that other electrical storage devices or circuits other than those disclosed might be utilized by those skilled in the art to perform the functions set forth herein and the disclosed embodiment is simply for explanatory purposes.
The lower portion of the circuitry illustrated in FIG. 2 pertains to an alarm system which is actuated if the switching circuitry described above remains in a conducting state for a predetermined period of time. When the switching circuitry remains in a conducting state too long, this is an indication that the supply of concentrated material being added to the solution tank 11 from the reservoir 13 is not sufficient to bring the concentration within the tank 1 1 to the normal or standard amount and operator assistance is required. A pair of lightbulbs 120 and 121 and a sonic alarm 122 are provided to produce an alarm when this condition occurs. The operation of the alarm circuitry will be discussed briefly because the major portion of the circuits are well understood by those skilled in the art and need not be described in detail.
A zener diode 125 is connected between a line 28 (which is an extension of the line 28 described as the positive line in conjunction with the previous circuitry) and a line 126, which is connected to the emitter 102 of transistor 103 and to junction 100. The zener diode 125 operates as a power supply to provide a predetermined voltage (in this instance 18 Volts) between the line 28 and the line 126. A first transistor 127 and a large capacitor 128 are connected between the lines 28 and 126 to operate as a timing circuit. When the triggering circuit previously described has been in a conducting state sufficiently long to charge the capacitor 101, the emitter 102 of the transistor 103 drops to a value near the voltage of the line 27 and, consequently, the line 126 is at the same value.
Since the line 126 has a low voltage relative to the line 28, the transistor 127 conducts until the capacitor 128 has charged to a value near the difference between the two lines. When the charge on the capacitor 128 reaches a predetermined value, a pair of transistors 129 and 130 (connected as a Darlington pair) begin to conduct and provide gate current for an SCR 131. Once the SCR 131 begins to conduct, a pair of transistors 132 and 133, forming a flip-flop type vibrator, are provided with sufficient electrical energization to begin to alternately conduct. When the transistor 132 is non-conducting, a transistor 134, operatively attached thereto, is biased into a conducting state and supplies gate current to a triac 135, which begins to conduct and energize the lightbulbs and 121. A pair of terminals 136 are connected in parallel with the lightbulbs 1'20 and 121 and their associated circuitry, and are adapted to have external warning devices attached thereto. When the transistor 133 is in a conducting state, a transistor 137, operatively attached thereto, is biased into a conducting state and supplies energization to the sonic alarm 122. Thus, when the transistor 103 remains in a conducting state for a sufficiently long time to cause the capacitor 128 to charge through the transistor 127 the lightbulbs 120 and 121 and the sonic alarm 122, as well as any external warning devices attached to the terminals 136, are energized to indicate operating difficulty.
Thus, control apparatus is disclosed which operatesupon the reception of a signal from a condition responsive means. The control apparatus is constructed so that it is sensitive to the desired or in phase signal from the condition responsive means and so that it rejects the undesirable or out of phase signals from the condition responsive means. Further, the control apparatus is constructed to reject transients and other undesirable signals and to operate with improved regulation, i.e., less change in the set point and other operating characteristics during fluctuations of power supply voltage.

Intro_v01_Anne1 of 22intro
Anne Weintraub2 of 22
In my experience, the old cliché that launching a new brand is akin to childbirth is, in fact, pretty close to the truth. It's exhausting and exhilarating, and you soon miraculously forget any initial pain to find yourself loving your baby more each day. So I couldn't resist getting a bit nostalgic on our anniversary...
Personal Best3 of 22
I believe that writing is an inherently personal and emotional endeavor, like listening to music or eating. So the first-person essays from our editors are among my favorite stories. Natasha Burton's "In Praise of My Working Mom" was truly heartwarming and hit very close to home since I'm a working mom myself.
Mother Lode4 of 22
Despite my bias toward essays about moms, Megan Bello's "Why an Imperfect Mother Is Really the Most Perfect Kind of All" stands on its own merit. She had me, and I imagine the many others who read it, at the first two lines: "In 1985 we banned my mother from making meatloaf. To be honest, I think she was relieved."
Plastic Fantastic5 of 22
We also love grabbing hold of a pop culture moment and turning it on its head. For "10 Kens We'd Like to See" in honor of the Ken doll's 50th birthday (I know, can you believe it?), we had a really good time dreaming up ridiculous and sublime personas for Barbie's main squeeze. My personal favorite: "Bad-Influence Boyfriend Ken."
Two Hot6 of 22
Comedy writers (and couple) Annabelle Gurwitch and Jeff Kahn make married life a thing of hilarity. Their columns for Glo offer insightful observations as well as laughs, turning well-worn topics into something fresh. I especially appreciate the tell-it-like-it-is aphrodisiacs in "10 Ways to Reignite the Flame," including "Buy the Damn Lingerie" and "Make Money!"
Boy, Oh, Boy7 of 22
One of our most popular series toys a bit with the opposite sex, making sensational—and delightful—generalizations (backed by experts, of course!). It's all in good fun and, as they say, humor is always based on a modicum of truth. Our writers have shed light on everything from "What His Facial Hair Says About Him" to "What His Bathing Suit Says About Him."
Caroline Rules8 of 22
Caroline Manzo puts the real in The Real Housewives of New Jersey, and her fans relate to the reality star's no-nonsense attitude, focus on family and, above all, abundant common sense. Every Monday Caroline answers Glo readers' questions about deeply personal—yet universal—issues, such as family communication and body confidence.
Sweet Secrets9 of 22
The "What Your _____ Won't Tell You" series has included everyone from flight attendants to servers to babysitters. Our intrepid content partner, Woman's Day, tracks down candid representatives from every field imaginable, who then dish everything-you-ever-wanted-to-know-but-were-afraid-to-ask thoughts that are at once juicy and revelatory.
Party People10 of 22
Our Party Planner stories in Living present fabulous and affordable tips for making your life a little more festive. Elina Furman's kids' Easter party story is one of my favorites, packed with sweet ideas, from Jelly Belly bubbles to Mad Hatter favor boxes.
Hit Home11 of 22
Celebrated blog Remodelista is another of our premier content partners, and their impeccable taste never ceases to amaze me. They identify the trends first, such as "Urban Barn" and then find spot-on objects to beautify your home.
Pet Projects12 of 22
Amy Keith, Glo's Living editor, also hunts down incredibly cool pieces in sometimes unexpected spaces. Despite the fact that I no longer have a dog, I can't stop flipping through the over-the-top accessories in her "Extreme Pet Pampering" story.
Happy Place13 of 22
The impetus behind our Hump Day Happy Hour column was, frankly, the desire for another excuse to drink. "Why not have mixologists create custom Glo cocktails to celebrate news events and holidays?" we thought. Totally logical, no? And then we discussed how Wednesday is the cruelest day of the week and when you most need a stiff one. I believe the greatest excuse we came up was Barbie's birthday—it still makes me smile.
The Family Way14 of 22
Who do you think women really dress to please? Themselves, other women, men or their mothers? Well, we decided to cover all bases when we created our "Of Mom and Men" series by enlisting stylist Nicole Mann Novick, her husband and her mother to write irreverent commentary on the latest runway trends. Their perspectives couldn't be more different or amusing—a healthy reminder that one person's Rodarte is another's fashion roadkill.
In the House15 of 22
The premise of "Resident Style" is to "dress like your favorite room in the house"—a less direct way of saying "shelter porn for the fashion-obsessed." Beautiful room images + matching clothing and accessories = happy readers. I love the gorgeous slides designed by Glo art director Natasha Lee and how they're a creative way to shop.
Real Good16 of 22
At Glo, we're firm believers that real women on the street often can be even more inspiring than models on the runway or celebrities on the red carpet. The "Sidewalk Style" series showcases real women everywhere, from Nashville to New York, alongside practical style tricks.
Model Behavior17 of 22
That doesn't mean we ignore what happens during Fashion Week—we just make it fun and accessible in our "Runway Cheat Sheet" stories. The runway shows are actually about more than just clothes; our style and beauty editors reveal the inspiration behind the fashion, the celebs in the front row, the music that played and more.
Total Gem18 of 22
Finding gorgeous fashion at a good price is very important to us—and our editors have a rare talent for it. "Baubles on a Budget" is a great example of incredible jewelry that won't break the bank.
Legendary Locks19 of 22
"Hair Highlights" was, believe it or not, inspired by men's obsession with sports highlights. We feel that woman are as passionate about Michelle Williams's latest pixie cut as men are about March Madness. Our series presents the best celebrity hair of the week and now gives you something to do while your guy is marveling at Blake Griffin's latest slam dunks.
The Real Deal20 of 22
Beautiful people come in many different packages in our book (many of them not 5'10" and 120 pounds), so we love featuring diverse women and men. "Flatter Your Face," an original makeover feature we shot, showcased just that.
Big Idea21 of 22
I love a good theme issue (like this one!), and we had a blast coming up with ideas for our 90210 issue last September 2, 2010 (9.02.10). It was a big hit, so apparently there are a lot of closet Brenda and Brandon fans out there.
Perfect Cover22 of 22
Photo editor Alexis Jonnson manages to come up with a compelling new cover image for Glo six days a week, and now there's an even easier way for you to discover these alongside every issue from the past year. Take a moment to browse what you may have missed the next time you need a little pick-me-up.

20+ Android Apps to Download Music Free
I have been keeping a record or every song I have ever loved listening to. Sure, our favorite tab for a particular song, changes with time but we still get back to the older playlists, sooner or later. But, that was an old thing. You no longer need to transfer songs from your computer to your current Android phone or tablet.
Remember the days of Limewire, torrents and popups, where you would painstakingly download song after song for hours onto your laptop, and then spend more time downloading them onto your phone? That's all in the past now.
That's because your Android device is compatible to download the songs from the internet on its own. Now, you have two ways left to do so. One is to open the website and find and download the MP3 files of your choice, or you can do the same thing using an application.
Using an application for doing this is a safe way comparing to using online websites. Because the websites which offers free download elements serves a lot of unwanted advertisements and pop-ups. I have never been a fan of all these unwanted things because they hurt the user experience.
In the case of the app, this is not possible as it can't open the pop-ups. Surely there will be advertisements served within the application but they can be taken care of easily.

Journal of Chromatography B: Analytical Technologies in the Biomedical and Life Sciences | Year: 2012
A liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry method has been developed and validated for the quantification of bullatacin, a bistetrahydrofuran annonaceous acetogenin, in rat plasma. Squamostatin-A was selected as the internal standard. Analytes were extracted from rat plasma by liquid/liquid extraction using ethyl acetate with high efficiency. The chromatographical separation was performed on an Agilent Zorbax SB-C 18 column (150mm×2.1mm, 5μm). The mobile phase consisted of methanol and deionized water (95:5, v/v) containing 0.01% (v/v) formic acid. The chromatographic run time was 7min per injection and flow rate was 0.2mL/min. The retention time was 3.22 and 5.23min for internal standard and bullatacin, respectively. The elutes were detected under positive electrospray ionization and the target analytes quantified by selected ion monitoring mode (645.9m/z for bullatacin and 661.9m/z for squamostatin-A). The method was sensitive with the limit of quantitation at 0.5ng/mL in 100μL of rat plasma. Good linearity (r 2=0.9998) was obtained covering the concentration of 0.5-2000ng/mL. The intra- and inter-day assay precision ranged from 3.2 to 8.7% and 2.7 to 9.2%, respectively. In addition, the stability, extraction recovery and matrix effect involved in the method were also validated. This method was applied to measure the plasma bullatacin concentrations after a single tail vein intravenous administration of bullatacin in rats. © 2012 Elsevier B.V. Source

Fifteen annonaceous acetogenins (ACGs) with different stereochemical structures and configuration, representing three main classes of bis-adjacent-tetrahydrofuran (THF), bis-nonadjacent-THF, and mono-THF ACGs, were selected to tested for their inhibition activity on A549/Taxol cell line, which is multidrug resistant (MDR). The present study showed that some tested compounds showed significant activity toward A549/Taxol cells, and were more potent than the positive control Verapamil. For example, squamostatin-D (14) (IC50 value = 16.19 μM) was 7.8 times more active than Verapamil (IC50 value = 127.09 μM). Those ACGs with more carbons between the THF ring and the γ-unsaturated lactone were more potent. Moreover, ACGs with stereochemical arrangement of erythro were more active than those of threo, the compounds with THF ring configuration of cis seemed to be superior to those of trans. However, if all other structural features were identical, the ACGs with more hydroxyls on the aliphatic chain were not more potent towards A549/Taxol, which was not in accordance with previous studies. Furthermore, bis-nonadjacent-THF ACGs whose molecular weight is 622, with three hydroxyl groups located at carbon 16, 19, 24 and stereochemical arrangement of erythro possibly produced notable cytotoxicity. Based on the above conclusions, we proposed a compound model that may be a promising anti-MDR cancer candidate drug in the future clinical trial. © 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. Source

Chinese Traditional and Herbal Drugs | Year: 2014
Objective: To investigate some factors which could influence the tissue culture of callus from Taxus chinensis var. mairei such as the culturing callus time, callus induction rate, callus development rate, growth rate, and browning degree. Then, the five taxane diterpenoids including paclitaxel in callus were studied and compared. Methods: The factors which influence the T. chinensis var. mairei callus induction and growth rate were studied by single factor analysis and orthogonal test design. The five taxane diterpenoids including paclitaxel in callus from different sources were determined by HPLC analysis. The weighted score for each of the above factors mentioned would be taken account to optimise the tissue culture conditions. Results: Among the explants, the stems intacted leaves would exhibit the best ability of dedifferentiation to form callus. The enrichment dark culture was conducive to paclitaxel and other five kinds of terpene constituents. The most optimum culture medium of the callus induction was B5 + 2, 4-D 3.0 mg/L + 6-BA 1.0 mg/L + NAA 1.0 mg/L + KT 0.5 mg/L. Conclusion: The callus culture conditions for T. chinensis var. mairei have indicated greater association with different types of the explantation, nutrient medium, and light illumination. The five kinds of enrichment taxane paclitaxel diterpenoids would be significantly affected by the type and concentration of the plant growth regulators. This study has shown some references value for T. chinensis var. mairei tissue culture and for the screening of high-yielding cell lines. ©, 2014, Editorial Office of Chinese Traditional and Herbal Drugs.

Biomedical Chromatography | Year: 2012
A rapid, sensitive and specific method using liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometric detection (LC-MS) was developed for the analysis of sauchinone in rat plasma. Di-O-methyltetrahydrofuriguaiacin B was used as internal standard (IS). Analytes were extracted from rat plasma by liquid-liquid extraction using ethyl acetate. A 2.1mm i.d. × 150mm, 5μm, Agilent Zorbax SB-C18 column was used to perform the chromatographic analysis. The mobile phase was methanol-deionized water (80:20, v/v). The chromatographic run time was 7min per injection and the flow-rate was 0.2mL/min. The tandem mass spectrometric detection mode was achieved with electrospray ionization interface in positive-ion mode (ESI+). The m/z ratios [M+Na]+, m/z 379.4 for sauchinone and m/z 395.4 for IS were recorded simultaneously. Calibration curve were linear over the range of 0.01-5μg/mL. The lowest limit of quantification was 0.01μg/mL. The intra-day and inter-day precision and accuracy of the quality control samples were 2.94-9.42% and 95.79-108.05%, respectively. The matrix effect was 64.20-67.34% and the extraction recovery was 93.28-95.98%. This method was simple and sensitive enough to be used in pharmacokinetic research for determination of sauchinone in rat plasma. © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. Source

MAXIMILIAN MONCLOVA-CHAVEZ,PLAINTIFF,v.ERIC MCEACHERN; TIMOTHY MILLER; KENNETH WHITE; AND C.O. TINCHER,DEFENDANTS.
Defendant Patrick Tincher has filed a motion to (1) bifurcate and/or sever trial from trial of the other defendants and (2) bifurcate trial on the issues of liability, compensatory damages and punitive damages. For reasons discussed below, the motion to bifurcate and/or sever trial from trial of the other defendants shall be granted; the motion to bifurcate trial on the issues of liability, compensatory damages and punitive damages shall be granted in part and denied in part.
On January 15, 2008, plaintiff Maximilian Monclova-Chavez ("Monclova-Chavez") filed his civil rights complaint against defendants Eric McEachern, Timothy Miller, Kenneth White and C.O. Tincher pursuant to Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents of Federal Bureau of Narcotics, 403 U.S. 388, 91 S.Ct. 1999, 29 L.Ed.2d 619 (1971). Monclova-Chavez alleged as follows:
"On April 7, 2007, Plaintiff was being housed in the Special Housing Unit (SHU), D-Range, Cell #220, USP Atwater, California. [¶] On April 7, 2007, around 12:45 PM, 5-6 Special Operations Response Team (SORT) members with defendant McEachern, a Physicians Assistant, a person with a video camera, a Ms. Ortiz, and possibly a duty officer came to Cell #220. [¶] Plaintiff was peacefully cuffed from behind and removed from Cell #220 without incident. This complete event was captured on video. [¶] Plaintiff was then placed in full restraints, (handcuffs, waist chain, black box and shackles). This to [sic] was captured on video. [¶] Plaintiff was then taken from SHU by SORT, and other mentioned . . . above, to Receiving and Discharge (R&D) and placed in a holding room. All of this was captured on video. [¶] When Plaintiff entered the R&D holding room he sat down and remained sitting or laying down on the floor the entire time."
Monclova-Chavez further alleged:
"After approximately 2 hours had elapsed, defendants McEachern, Miller and White opened the door to the holding room and entered the room. [¶] Upon entering the holding room where Plaintiff was laying on the floor, defendant Miller begin kiking [sic] Plaintiff and kiked [sic] him 5-6 times in the stomach, chest, legs and head and then punched plaintiff with his tightly clenched fists several times in the upper body. [¶] Also at this time defendant White was punching Plaintiff with his tightly clenched fists in the upper body and back. [¶] Also at this time defendant McEachern pulled an object (a weapon) from the waist of his pants and struck Plaintiff with the hard steel instrument extremely hard in the head two times."
"[D]uring the approximately 2 hours that elapsed between removing him from Cell #220 in SHU, placing him in the R&D holding room, and the assault on him, defendants McEachern, Miller, and White, conspired with each other to violate Plaintiff's Constitutional rights, Criminal Civil Rights Statutes, and Federal Law by obtaining a hard steel weapon, going the [sic] R&D holding room where Plaintiff was being held in full restraints where no video camera could see them and take violent illegal retribution against Plaintiff by brutally, maliciously and sadistically attempting to kill Plaintiff by assaulting him with the intent of causing Plaintiff death and severe bodily injury, and thereafter, defendants McEachern, Miller and White, acting in concert with each other, did carry the conspiracy into effect by brutally, maliciously and sadistically attempting to kill Plaintiff by assaulting him while he lay on the floor of the R&D holding room in full restraints . . . ."
"On April 16, 2007, Plaintiff went to the SHU recreation yard. [¶] To return from the SHU recreation yard Plaintiff had his hands cuffed behind his back. [¶] Plaintiff was walking back to his cell when the SHU Officer in charge, Tincher, gratuitously and deliberately, with the intent of hurting Plaintiff, slammed a heavy steel door from behind Plaintiff hitting him with full force in the hands, right shoulder and right arm causing Plaintiff to suffer severe pain."
On May 4, 2012, defendant Patrick Tincher ("Tincher," sued as C.O. Tincher) filed a motion to (1) bifurcate and/or sever trial from trial of the other named defendants and (2) bifurcate trial on the issues of liability, compensatory damages and punitive damages, pursuant to Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 21 and 42(b). On May 18, 2012, Monclova-Chavez filed his opposition to Tincher's motion. Tincher filed his reply to Monclova-Chavez's opposition on June 4, 2012.
Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 21 provides: "Misjoinder of parties is not a ground for dismissing an action. On motion or on its own, the court may at any time, on just terms, add or drop a party. The court may also sever any claim against a party." Fed. R. Civ. P. 21. Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 42(b) provides: "For convenience, to avoid prejudice, or to expedite and economize, the court may order a separate trial of one or more separate issues, claims, crossclaims, counterclaims, or third-party claims. When ordering a separate trial, the court must preserve any federal right to a jury trial." Fed. R. Civ P. 42(b). Rule 42(b) "confers broad discretion upon the district court to bifurcate a trial, thereby deferring costly and possibly unnecessary proceedings pending resolution of potentially dispositive preliminary issues." Zivkovic v. Southern California Edison Co., 302 F.3d 1080, 1088 (9th Cir. 2002). "[A] district court may sever claims under Rule 21, creating two separate proceedings, so long as the two claims are 'discrete and separate.' [Citation.] In other words, one claim must be capable of resolution despite the outcome of the other claim. [Citation.] By contrast, bifurcation under Rule 42(b) is appropriate where claims are factually interlinked, such that a separate trial may be appropriate, but final resolution of one claim affects the resolution of the other. [Citation.]" Gaffney v. Riverboat Services of Indiana, Inc., 451 F.3d 424, 442 (7th Cir. 2006).
Tincher first moves to sever this action so as to be tried separately from defendants McEachern, Miller and White, contending severance is warranted under Rule 21 because he was improperly joined as a defendant under Rule 20(a)(2). Rule 20(a)(2) provides: "Persons . . . may be joined in one action as defendants if [¶] (A) any right to relief is asserted against them jointly, severally, or in the alternative with respect to or arising out of the same transaction, occurrence, or series of transactions or occurrences; and [¶] (B) any question of law or fact common to all defendants will arise in the action." Fed. R. Civ. P. 20(a)(2). Having reviewed the pleadings of record and all competent and admissible evidence submitted, the Court finds insufficient facts to show was Tincher was permissibly joined as a defendant. In the complaint, Plaintiff asserted three claims: (1) a violation of his Eighth Amendment right to be free from cruel and unusual punishment stemming from an April 7, 2007 incident during which he was allegedly assaulted in a holding room by McEachern, Miller and White; (2) a conspiracy by McEachern, Miller and White to violate his civil rights in the April 7, 2007 incident; and (3) an Eighth Amendment violation stemming from an April 16, 2007 incident in which Tincher allegedly slammed a steel door on his hands, shoulder and right arm while he was returning to his cell from the recreation yard. Despite the fact the third claim involved a defendant, time period and misconduct different from the first and second claims, no allegations were provided to suggest the claims pose questions of law or fact common as to all defendants or that April 7 and April 16 incidents arose out of the same transaction or occurrence.
In opposition, Plaintiff now contends the claims arose out of the same transaction or occurrence and pose questions of law or fact common to all defendants, suggesting (1) the April 7 and April 16 attacks were both perpetrated in retaliation for an April 7, 2007 incident in which Plaintiff threw feces and urine on Tincher and (2) Tincher may have conspired with McEachern, Miller and White to violate Plaintiff's civil rights and/or participated in a cover up of those violations. In support of these contentions, Plaintiff adduces as evidence trial testimony from case no. 1:08-cr-00138-LJO-1, the criminal proceeding in which McEachern was prosecuted for the April 7, 2007 incident. The Court has reviewed the testimony provided by Plaintiff and finds no support for Plaintiff's contentions. Because Plaintiff has failed to show the requirements of Rule 20(a)(2) are met, the Court exercises its discretion to sever Tincher's trial from trial of the other defendants.
Tincher further moves to bifurcate trial on the issues of liability, compensatory damages and punitive damages, contending each issue should be tried separately to promote judicial economy and avoid prejudice. Having reviewed the pleadings of record and all competent and admissible evidence submitted, the Court finds bifurcation is warranted -- per its standard procedure -- only to the extent the punitive damages issue should be tried separately from the issues of liability and compensatory damages. Tincher, however, has provided no compelling argument or evidence as to why trial on liability should be bifurcated from trial on damages. Thus, trial shall be bifurcated into two phases: the first on liability and compensatory damages, the second on punitive damages.
Based on the foregoing, Tincher's motion to bifurcate and/or sever trial from trial of the other defendants is GRANTED. Plaintiff's claims against Tincher are HEREBY severed from those against the other defendants. Tincher's motion to bifurcate trial on issues of liability, compensatory damages and punitive damages is GRANTED in part and DENIED in part. Trial shall be conducted in two phases: one on liability and compensatory damages, another on punitive damages.
