"The Hushabye Shell Afghan is a beautiful blanket that would be a great shower gift. The pattern is an easy shell stitch and the colts are great for a boy or girl. I am sure that it will keep baby nice and warm. It is made with a nice four ply yarn and should work up fast. This one to save for a later date."
"The wavy rainbow baby blanket is one of the cutest that I have seen. The colors are so bright that a baby will enjoy looking at it. The blanket could also be worked up in other colors that would be great for that special little one. this is not for a beginner, so if this is your first try at crocheting you may not want to try it. Looking forward to working on this."
"The Springtime Lace Afghan Pattern is so cute. It will make a great baby blanket for that special baby. This could be made in many different colors that will really be pretty. The pattern reads really easy and a beginner could do this.I am looking forward to to this project in the very near future."
"he Cape Cod Afghan is really a cute pattern. It would be a great one for beginners. The pattern only calls for two skeins of yarn. The pattern reads really easy. This could also be used as a baby blanket and would look great in one of those baby colors. This is one pattern that I will definitely save for a later project down the road."

Create delicate beaded Easter basket earrings in seed bead colors perfect for spring. This thorough tutorial from Rings & Things makes the process of beading your own Easter earrings easy. Wear these to Easter brunch.
Materials (Available from Rings & Things):
- 1pr 34-223-1 Surgical Stainless Steel Earwires- White
- 70 20-228-013 Japanese Seed Beads, size 11/0- White
- 52 20-228-153 Japanese Seed Beads, size 11/0- Pink Ceylon
- 12 20-228-313 Japanese Seed Beads, size 11/0- Ivory Ceylon
- 7 20-228-462 Japanese Seed Beads, size 11/0- Lt. Sapphire
- 80 61-119 Nymo Cord
- 1 65-030-12 Needle, size 12 "sharp"
- Using half the cord, string the needle.
- Anchor a bead at the far end of the cord, about 1" from the end by stringing any bead and tying it in place. (DO NOT knot it firmly; this bead comes off later in the project.) This anchor bead will make holding the project easier and stop beads from falling off. This end will be considered the left side of the project. Try to keep left & right in mind as the earring is made.
- Starting with the widest row (Row 1), string a White bead, a Pink, 2 Whites, a Pink, 2 Whites, a Pink, 2 Whites, a Pink, and another White (for a total of 12 beads). Push the beads toward the end of the cord, about ½" from the anchor bead. Now string back through the second bead from the end of the working cord (the cord end with the needle). Be sure to go through the left side of that bead.
- Now continue going through each bead in line. Be sure to go in the left-side hole first. When finished, the working cord should be next to the anchor bead.
- Pull tight. Beads should now be facing with their holes up and down.
- Start the brick stitch.
- Starting from the last bead on the left (the side with both pieces of thread), string a Pink bead and hook the needle through the cord between the 1st and 2nd beads. Pull thread through and then pull needle back down into that bead, going in the same hole that the needle just came out of.
- Pick up another Pink and do the same as the above step. Continue down the row (Row 2) until you have 11 total beads- a Wh., 2 Pinks, Wh., 2 Pinks, Wh., and 2 more Pinks. Be sure to pull the beads tight and close to one another.
- For Row 3, working back towards the left, add a Pink, 2 Wh., Pink, 2 Wh., Pink, 2 Wh., and another Pink. Notice that each row gets smaller as they are made.
- Make the following rows...
Row 4- 9 Whites
Row 5- 8 Ivory
Row 6- a Saph, Wh., Saph, Wh., Saph, Wh., and a Saph
Row 7- 6 Whites
Row 8- 5 Whites
Row 9- 4 Ivory
- After Row 9 is complete, string the needle back into the 2nd bead from the left end. From there go up through the rows coming out the very first bead in Row 1- the bead with the anchor cord coming out of it.
- Tie a small knot with the 2 cords and carefully cut off the remaining anchor cord. DO NOT cut the working cord!
- Make the Handle.
- Needle should now be coming out of the 1st bead in the 1st Row. String approx. 30 White beads on to the cord. Pull needle down into the very last bead of Row 1.
- Continue down into the last beads of Row 2 and Row 3, then over to the next bead of that same row (a White bead). Now pull back up and again into the last beads of Row 2 and Row 1.
- Now make the handle more secure. Thread through the whole handle again. Needle should now be back on the left side of the project.
- Needle should now be coming out of the 1st bead in the 1st Row. String approx. 30 White beads on to the cord. Pull needle down into the very last bead of Row 1.
- Secure the working wire. Zigzag down and around various beads in the basket. When it feels snug and won't pull free, carefully trim the working cord.
- Make the Bow:
- String 7 Pink beads and a Saph on to the newly cut working wire. Push beads towards the end leaving about ½" of cording at the end.
- Now run needle back through all of the Pink beads. Notice that leaving the Sapphire bead alone causes it to turn on its side. This will be the bottom of the bow.
- At the 1st bead, tie the 2 cords together in a small knot and carefully cut the end of the cord. (DO NOT cut off the working cord.)
- String another Saph bead and 12 Pink. Pull needle back into the Saph bead, making a loop of the Pink beads.
- String 12 more Pink beads and again pull through the same Saph bead to make the second loop of the bow.
- Add 7 Pink and a Saph to complete the other end of the bow. Push beads snug and then string needle back up into all 7 Pink beads and the middle Saph bead.
- Attach the bow to the basket.
- The needle should be coming out the back of the bow and through the Saph bead. Arrange the bow in the desired spot on the basket and pull needle into that bead on the basket.
- If this is the desired spot for the bow, continue to secure it in place by zigzagging the cord throughout the beads of the basket.
- Trim cord when snug.
- Attach earwire.
- Complete the other earring.

At our home in Wyoming we burn all standing dead lodgepole pine, either beetle killed or wildfire victims. It has a good straight grain for splitting, it creates a quick hot fire and leaves very little ash.

I like to burn Juniper and/or cedar firewood. It burns quick, it's easy to light and fast to cure. Arizona has a super arid environment during the summer which allows the wood to cure pretty fast. Also, Juniper grows everywhere heading towards New Mexico.
One downside is that you go through chains faster then you want, plus certain types have furry bark so sand blown by the wind gets in the bark.

text: This is probably closely related to the thread on the spiritual aspects of slavery as a sin. As I have related many times on this board, in addition to Scripture, my ideas on this subject from what I observed in Mississippi as a child in the 50s and 60s. We are on vacation, and today, we visited the Little Big Horn National Park in Montana. I had studied the battles and the routes of both sides. Today, as I listened to a park ranger explain in detail what happened, and the politics in Washington that lead to the loss of life on June 25, 1876, it brought me back to man's ability to mistreat his fellow man for greed, profit, and power, even to the point of death. Of course, like all other human tragedy, the core cause was sin. After hearing the history in detail, we saw the battlefield where Custer and his men fell, the other sites of related battles a few days earlier. Yes, the Indians under Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse treated their enemy brutally, but I got to wondering, what would be do if a foreign army was running us out of our homes and forcing us to a new home somewhere else? There was plenty of blame to go around, an inept Grant administration, lack of communication between army units, the arrogance of Custer and some of his officers, and a drive for future power. One cannot help but wonder if the situation could have, should have been handled better. What gave us the right to destroy the Indian culture that was here long before us? Because some expansionist nut case in Washington thought it his God given right to implement a policy of "Manifest Destiny." What comes across to me in this situation, where there were no winners, and the results were tragic, is the lack of any consideration for the love of Christ to be exhibited towards these people. Instead of treating them and their culture like trash, maybe the Gospel told to them, and in fact, some of our illustrious leaders, maybe the love of God would have brought about a different outcome. Sin is like an infection. It permeates everything on this earth. It is brutal, evil, self centered, and always ends up with death and misery, because Christ was not even considered. What makes a difference in this world, one thing and one thing only, a changed heart in men and women by the work of Jesus Christ on the cross. No more vivid picture could be painted of this than the dead corpses laying all across that battlefield. What a sad story, and it just keeps repeating itself.

Too Short
The Provincial Archive
Hide Like a Secret EP
(Black Box Music)
US: Import
UK: 16 May 2014
Canada Release Date: 10 Jun 2014
The Provincial Archive is a Canadian group that has been around, having released two albums independently. However, they have just signed to Black Box Music, which positions them on the cusp of bigger and better things. And their first release for Black Box, the Hide Like a Secret EP, couldn't be bigger and better. Even though it is just four songs clocking in at 14 minutes, it leaves the listener wanting more and more. If you're into or even remotely interested in folk rock, this is the EP for you. "Daisy Garden" is a lilting number that opens the EP with a memorable melody. "The Pointe Work", on the other hand, carries a much more folksy melody of an East Coast Canada, ramshackle nature. And "Young & Bloodless" is a much more rocking song, one that is memorable for all of its "who-hoos" in the chorus. But what this EP might be most remembered for is the fourth and final track: a reading of Elliot Smith's "Son of Sam". This cover clearly keeps the folksy nature of what came before and remains faithful. It's a sterling rendition.
Overall, my main carp is that this EP is too short. I want to hear what this band is capable of on a full length release, though I and listeners may get that chance when the band releases their next full length album sometime in the late summer. As it stands, though, the Hide Like a Secret EP is a short record of promise, of hopefulness, and there's much in the way here that offers a certain clarity of sound. This is an exceptional release, and I can't wait to see what else this band has to offer.

Variety, tactics and the chaos factor were all major contributors to Ghost Recon's popularity, but those features seem to have been ditched this time around. Each of the game's 15 missions is strictly linear and scripted; the enemies appear in the same spot every time you reload or replay a mission.
That's not all, however. The powers that be have decided to err on the side of change by completely overhauling the game's perspective and play mechanics. Now the default view is an over-the-shoulder vantage, similar to what Ubisoft poster-child Sam Fisher enjoyed in Pandora Tomorrow. A weaponless first-person view can be selected if needed, although it's not particularly useful during combat.
Obviously someone wanted to trim excess fat, because the ability to hop between characters in two different squads has been tossed into the furnace. The new low-carb Ghost Recon 2 requires that you control a single leading character (he dies = game over) while dishing out commands to your other three squad-mates with the controller or through voice communication. The commands are simple, including flank left or right, hold, suppress, advance, attack vehicle and regroup. Other commands become available depending on the situation and all are noted by user-friendly icons. The new scheme is definitely more streamlined and, in turn, more suitable for console gamers. If you're like me and enjoy more action in your recon, then you'll agree the switch is a good one.
Speaking of the command system, Ghost Recon 2 allows you to use voice commands for your own player actions. You can act like a crazy person and scream "Reload!" "Switch weapon!" and "Explosive!" into the mic all night long. It's a very handy system for a game with so many commands, but unfortunately it doesn't work very smoothly. I'm not the most articulate guy in the world, but I'm no Mushmouth, either. I shouldn't have to grossly enunciate every single syllable before my voice command is understood…
…and then acted on several seconds later. This is one of Ghost Recon 2's major slip-ups. Just about every command you can give, from a simple button press for reloading to ordering your teammates around, takes forever to actually happen. The responsiveness is so sluggish, you'll often be in peril as you wait for a command to be acknowledged, understood, and eventually carried out. Meanwhile, your enemies are legion and will happily exploit your apparent lethargy.
Luckily, this also trickles down to the NPC A.I. Not only is it sluggish, it's also pretty inconsistent. In most cases, enemies are alert with pinpoint accuracy, but occasionally insurgents will stand still in plain sight, presumably suffering from a stroke, resulting in very easy, unsatisfying kills. Conversely, your teammates perform much better when left on their own, dispatching baddies with relative ease. They have their gray areas as well, however, ranging from basic pathfinding issues to ignoring commands altogether.
Though Ghost Recon stumbles in its A.I. programming, it excels in its great weaponry. Some of them are downright brilliant, like the M29 assault rifle, which can be fired around corners thanks to the handy camera equipped on the side. Most of the other firearms are familiar, but they handle nicely and the sounds they produce are impressive. You'll find several assault rifles, pistols, grenades and rocket launchers.
It all looks pretty good due to Ghost Recon 2's solid new engine. The hi-res textures are believable and the framerate is steady throughout. The look falters, though, when it comes to the sheer kinetic joy of shooting things. There are about three death animations total and there is no blood whatsoever, presumably in order to secure the game's Teen rating. But come on - this is a wartime shooter set against a very mature backdrop. According to some stupid watchdog group, mercilessly pumping round after round into lifeless enemies in North Korea is suitable for teenagers, but showing them blood is not. I hate the world.
But I like Ghost Recon 2's multiplayer, where the laggy reload and weapons switching is not so much of a problem. Here, everyone suffers from the same problems, so you're even. There are quite a few game modes available, including a terrific Co-Op (up to four players at once), Domination (Capture and Maintain), Siege, various Deathmatch game modes and King of the Hill. The variety is appreciated and the fun plentiful. Plus, each of these modes can be played split-screen, system link or online through Xbox Live, although the split-screen play stinks as you cannot see your character and are left with the old first-person perspective minus the gun. Consider yourself warned.
What was once an intricate, tactical action game has effectively been dumbed down to appeal to a wider audience, and the technical issues and inconsistent A.I. leave the fun relatively AWOL for the hardcore Ghost Recon vets. Those with less specific tastes will find that it's pretty fun to play war with others, though, and could do much worse than making this game an ally.

Introducing the Derby destroyers out to slay Mourinho's men as Chelsea head north for FA Cup classic
- Holy trinity: Bryson, Hughes and Hendrick powering side up Championship
- Revealed: McClaren's magic touch has been to sure up defence
- Eustace and Martin gunning for Torres and Co in Sunday's TV clash
When Steve McClaren took charge of Derby County just a few days after Nigel Clough was sacked, the Rams were lying in 14th place in the Championship. That was three months ago. Today, the club are sitting comfortably in the play-off places. So, bring on Jose Mourinho and the Chelsea boys in the FA Cup on Sunday.
It's been some turnaround at the newly-renamed iPro Stadium. Here, NEIL MOXLEY at the reasons behind the Derby revolution...
Going up? Chris Martin celebrates after scoring Derby's second goal against Barnsley... on Sunday the Rams face Premier League giants Chelsea
Derby day: Fernando Torres, here celebrating his goal against Southampton, and his Chelsea team-mates travel to the Midlands for Sunday's FA Cup clash
Blackburn v Man City (12.45pm) BT Sport 1
Arsenal v Tottenham (5.15pm) ITV
Nottm Forest v West Ham (12pm) ITV
Derby v Chelsea (2.15pm) BT Sport 1
Man Utd v Swansea (4.30pm) BT Sport 1
1) The McClaren effect
There can be little doubt the arrival of the former England manager was received warmly by Derby County's supporters. They remember fondly the input made by the Jim Smith's assistant during the promotion push in 1995-96.
The situation he walked into, along with fellow 'Derby men' – assistant Paul Simpson and goalkeeping coach Eric Steele – was by no means terminal.
Derby were scoring plenty of goals. Indeed, they still are. What McClaren has done is tighten up the defence. The Rams have not conceded more than one goal in the league in the past two months.
They used to be vulnerable without possession. Now they scamper back into their shape quickly. McClaren may have been criticised in the past for not knowing how to win matches. But he has identified that not losing them will be key for Derby County.
Still walking the line: Steve McClaren in the Premier League as assistant to Derby boss Jim Smith in 1998 (left) andnow as manager (right) with his assistant Paul Simpson in the Skybet Championship
2) The holy trinity in midfield
Derby's core strength lies in their engine-room of Craig Bryson, Will Hughes and Jeff Hendrick. Bryson, a £450,000 capture from Kilmarnock, has scored 11 goals from midfield. Unlike the last person to claim that feat for the Rams, Inigo Idiakez, he has done so by grabbing them from open play.
He has been ably supported by Hughes – a teenager who burst on to the scene under Nigel Clough and who may not have enjoyed the same impact this season as he did last, but he is still just 18 years of age.
And completing this trio is Hendrick. Another youngster with great promise who is just working his way back to full fitness after a three-month lay-off with an ankle problem.
3) An in-form striker
Yes, every successful team is likely to boast one. And in Chris Martin, the Rams have a man who is bang on the money at the moment.
Martin was another whose talent was identified by Clough. However, he appears unfazed by the managerial change, having claimed 15 goals so far this season. Martin has also missed a couple of penalties, which would put him within sight of becoming the first Derby striker to score 20 goals in a season since Dean Sturridge in 1995-96, when the Rams were promoted.
Martin may not be the quickest but he is very good with his back to goal and adept at finding team-mates who are clever enough to find the space to receive the ball from him. Players such as those midfielders listed above.
Goal machine: Chris Martin, who has scored 15 goals for Derby already this term, scores his team's fourth in the Championship match against Blackpool last month
4) A golden oldie
John Eustace originally joined Derby with a view to earning a contract. He has become an important cog in the machine as he offers the protection that affords the likes of Hughes et al the licence to go on the rampage further upfield.
The ex-Coventry trainee was at Watford for five seasons and knows the Championship as well as anyone.
At the age of 34, he understands not only his role but his place within the team environment and McClaren has been canny enough to recognise and value his importance since taking over.

5) Changes as the top
Derby have appointed a new chief executive, Sam Rush, a former agent with Wasserman whose decision it was to dispense with Clough's services.
Many commentators – including this one – felt that it was harsh, given the financial constraints under which the former England forward had been working.
He put the building blocks of Derby's success so far this season in place and, to be fair to McClaren, he has repeatedly acknowledged this.
But any chief executive has tough decisions to make. Rush has overseen the re-branding of Pride Park and, at present, has to be in credit following McClaren's appointment.
Inspired decision: Derby chief executive Sam Rush (right) made the tough call to fire Nigel Clough (left)
6) The Derby crowd
Legendary boss Brian Clough always regarded Derby as a true footballing town. So, who are we to argue?
That is borne out in the attendances. There has been little to shout about for the Rams during the past few years but their average crowd of 24,346 is the third largest in the Championship behind Leeds United and Brighton and Hove Albion.
It is a reflection of the fact that Derby had been banging in goals that it is just 1,000 better than the figure achieved under Clough.
Needless to say, the iPro Stadium will be packed out for the visit of Chelsea on Sunday.

Washington D.C. police recently announced that they will be issuing an arrest warrant for Salvadorean Ingmar Guandique, 27, in connection to the eight-year-old murder of Chandra Levy; one of the most famous unsolved crimes in Washington D.C.'s history.
Levy was a 24-year-old intern for the federal Bureau of Prisons at the time of her murder. A series of missteps by the D.C. police department as well as intense media scrutiny involving congressman Gary Condit—who was involved in an extramarital affair with the intern—all served to complicate the case.

Demonstrations against the military presence in the border towns of Mexico have swept across the country over the last few days. Mexico's drug cartels have been the primary catalyst for a wave of crime and violence that have shaken the country to its core. Widespread corruption among the police led government officials to take the drastic step of sending 40,000 soldiers into towns and cities along the border of the United States.

Rarely has anyone looked at a potentially fatal infectious disease and exclaimed, "Now, that is a thing of beauty." One sculptor, however, has taken bacteria and viruses from their invisible world and placed them in ours.
Artist Luke Jerram has created a collection of glass artwork in the shape microorganisms -- bacteria and viruses no less that have the potential to infect or even kill human beings. By bringing these microscopic marauders to the light, Jerram demystifies these otherwise unknowable microorganisms. And using glass as a medium reinforces not only the fragility of the work, but also our own in the face of these diseases.
In this slide show, take a closer look at some of the highlights from Jerram's glass microbiology collection.

Turning HIV into a work of art is a seemingly impossible task. The virus is responsible for the deaths of an estimated 34 million people worldwide since the epidemic was first reported in 1981, according to UNAIDS, the joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS.
The HIV virus sculpture was the first Jerram built for his collection.

If there's one disease that has plagued humankind throughout its history, it's malaria. In 2010, the World Health Organization estimated that more than 200 million people were infected with the disease, mostly in poverty-stricken regions of sub-Saharan Africa, but also parts of South America and Southeast Asia.
Malaria is transmitted through mosquito bites. Mosquito nets, insect repellant and pesticides are all effective means of prevention, but only for those with the available resources and access to afford them.

Looking at this spindly sculpture might make you the slightest bit queasy, and for good reason. E. coli is represented by this glass artwork. Although most E. coli strains are in fact harmless to humans, the strains we're most acquainted with are the ones that cause food poisoning.
Photography by Luke Jerram
This alien-looking sculpture is actually T4 Bacteriophage, a virus that targets E. coli bacteria.
Bacteriophages are small viruses that attach to the cell membrane of bacteria. The virus injects its DNA into the bacteria, which then produces replicas of the virus, filling the bacterium until it bursts.

If this model is giving you that nostalgic feeling of plagues past, you might not be surprised to find out that this work represents Severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS.
SARS made global headlines in 2003 when people in 37 countries and nearly reached pandemic levels. Although coverage of the illness was widely criticized for overstating the threat, nearly 9,000 were infected with the disease, with had a nearly 10 percent fatality rate.

Swine flu, shown here, was another contagious disease that drew global attention that Jerram selected for his exhibition, but this time it was personal. According to his website, Jerram came down with swine flu and constructed the sculpture "with a fever whilst swallowing my Tamiflu tablets every few hours."
Swine flu, or H1N1 strain of the influenza virus, made global headlines in 2009 as the next potential major flu epidemic. Though common among pigs, swine flu is rarely transmitted among humans. When it does infect a human, however, the symptoms associated with the virus, typical of other flu strains, are particularly acute.
Photography by Luke Jerram
Given just how common the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) is among humans, you'd think this virus, pictured here, wouldn't be so controversial. In fact, it isn't, but the use of a vaccine to prevent the infection, which can lead to certain kinds of cancers in women.
Because the virus can be transmitted sexually, however, the idea of vaccinations, particularly compulsory ones for children -- the vaccine is in fact intended only for people 25 and younger -- generated a considerable pushback, despite the obvious benefits of the treatment.
Photography by Luke Jerram
Hand, foot and mouth disease might not get a lot of press, but these disease outbreaks are in fact fairly common, particularly among infants and children. Occasionally, they can be fatal. Symptoms are similar to the flu, with the exception of sores that can appear all over the body, but particularly the hands, feet and mouth of the carrier.
Viruses can acquire fully functional immune systems, according to new research that bolsters the controversial theory that viruses are living creatures.
Until now, scientists thought that viruses existed only as primitive particles of DNA or RNA, and therefore lacked the sophistication of an immune system.
The study, published in the journal Nature, is the first to show that a virus can indeed possess an immune system, not to mention other qualities commonly associated with complex life forms.
The belief that viruses are living creatures "stems from the fact that viruses have their own complex genome, they replicate to make more of themselves, and they are evolving," co-author Andrew Camilli of the Tufts University School of Medicine told Discovery News.
PHOTOS: The Art of Microbiology
The use of a complex immune system "doesn't prove" that viruses are living beings, "but it does add to the argument," he said.
Living organisms are typically defined as being capable of vital functions, such as the ability to grow and adapt to the environment over successive generations. Viruses are now on the fence between being considered a biological entity and an actual living creature.
Camilli and his colleagues focused their investigation on a viral predator of cholera bacteria. This type of virus is known as a bacteriophage ("phage" for short).
Lead author Kimberley Seed, a postdoctoral fellow in Camilli's lab, was analyzing DNA sequences of phages taken from stool samples of Bangladesh cholera patients. She was surprised to find genes for a functional immune system previously only found in some types of bacteria.
To verify the discovery, she and her colleagues used phages both with and without the immune system to infect a new strain of cholera bacteria. Only the virus harboring the immune system readily killed the cholera bacteria.
Not only can some viruses have an immune system; some also can steal them from bacteria.
The scientists found that viruses can capture immunity genes from bacteria during a phase when "the viral genome is being replicated into dozens of copies within the infected host cell," Camilli explained. The virus therefore steals an immune system from the bacteria. This benefits the phage virus.
NEWS: Giant Viruses Are Ancient Living Organisms
"The immune system allows the phage to target and destroy specific inhibitory genes of the host cell by literally cutting the target genes into pieces," Seed told Discovery News. By disarming these genes, "the phage essentially disarms the host cell, and can then proceed with the infection and kill the host cell."
While we tend to associate both viruses and bacteria with health threats, that is not always the case. In this instance, the virus winds up on the side of humans.
Camilli explained that "phages are killers of bacteria. If the species of bacteria they happen to kill is a human pathogen, then the phage is doing us a favor."
The researchers hope that this activity could battle "superbugs," which are bacteria with a resistance to most are all current antibiotics.
Contagion: Is a Killer Virus Out There?
Mammals, including humans, possess immune systems that, unlike those of bacteria, are encoded on much larger pieces of DNA.
"It would be very difficult, if not impossible, for a virus to capture (such an immune system)," Camilli said.
"A second consideration is that the virus has to have a good use for the captured immune system in order to hang onto it," he added. "In the case of a phage, we have shown that it can use the captured immune system to good effect. This may or may not be true for another type of immune system, should a virus be able to capture it."
Sylvain Moineau, a professor in the Department of Biochemistry, Microbiology and Bioinformatics at Université Laval, is one of the world's leading experts on bacteriophages. Moineau told Discovery News that the discovery of a phage with an immune system "is a remarkable finding. Phages always seem to find a way to impress us."
Moineau and colleague Manuela Villion remind that phages are among the most abundant biological entities on the planet, outnumbering their bacterial hosts tenfold. Whether they and other viruses represent living organisms, however, is still up for debate.

After a cold grey winter, spring is the perfect time to brighten up your garden. While flowers are one solution, there are plenty of other easy and inexpensive ways to add a splash of colour to your outdoors.
Painting a wall, a fence or shed in your garden, pergola or verandah is a simple way to inject some colour.
Depending on the look you want, warm colours will draw attention to parts of your garden, while cooler colours can be used to make areas less noticeable. But it's important to plan first. Our Dulux Colour Wall can help you choose colours that will suit your yard.
You can also paint terracotta pots and give them a new lease of life. Then mix and match them with the other colours you already have in your garden.
There's an enormous range of colourful flowers you can choose from in almost any colour you can think of. Begonias, vincas, cyclamens, petunias and impatiens will thrive in spring and are bursting with beautiful, vibrant colour.
Fruit trees are another way to introduce some natural colour to your outdoor areas. Red apples, yellow lemons or even bright red chilli plants love spring weather.
Glazed pots come in a range of colours and styles and make your plants look their best.
If you're using hanging baskets, work out if the plant will get a lot of sun or be mostly shaded and then choose the right kind of plant to suit.
When you're entertaining at night, outdoor lights let you highlight features and brighten up the backyard.
Solar powered lights that change colour are ideal along a path or in the garden. LED multi-colour string lights and party lights can be run along verandahs and pergolas or wound around trees to light up the backyard.
Floating waterproof lights that change colour can be used in a pool, pond or water feature.
Bluestone and sandstone pavers are ideal for paths as well as for creating feature stonewalls. They're hardwearing, easy to install and provide subtle, earthy colour that compliment any outdoor space.
Colourful pebbles can be used in pot plants, in the garden and along footpaths. They come in a variety of materials ranging from natural stone, crystal, polished pebbles and glass nuggets. There's a range of colours to suit your decor, from white to blue, yellow, green, orange, lime and red.
Colourful cushions and shade umbrellas let you customise the look and add comfort to your outdoor furniture.
There's also a wide range of outdoor beanbags, sun lounges and swing seats that come in a range of colours to help you enjoy your outdoor area.
Hanging plaques on a feature wall or putting statues amongst the foliage in your garden will provide colour and a touch of style. And for something stylish as well as practical, think about a wall clock.
Children's play equipment comes in a range of bright colours for the front and backyard. You can choose from swings, slides, tunnels, cubby houses and sandpits that will keep the kids happy and active.

Feature: Dark Streets
Fri, 12 Dec 2008 16:08:31
Izabella Miko Photos
Gabriel Mann Videos
For Bijou Phillips, the hazy musical noir Dark Streets was more than just another gig. It's the kind of film that the young actress has wanted to do for as long as she can remember.
"Dark Streets fulfilled some childhood fantasies for me. After doing it, I was able to check off everything on my list of 'Things To Do Before I Die'—except for marriage and kids," laughs Phillips.
Sitting in the Beverly Hilton wearing a stunning black dress and flashing a wide smile, Phillips shines with unbreakable enthusiasm. In real life, she's not much different than her Dark Streets character, Crystal. She shares Crystal's passion for music and performing on stage, and similarly, she's a dreamer. Crystal is a singer and dancer in a jazz club that's tangled in a web of intrigue. She's caught in a dangerous love triangle, surrounded by nefarious characters and stuck in the dark about what's transpiring around her. Phillips spent a lot of time preparing herself to be in her first noir.
"I watched a lot of Lauren Bacall and Humphrey Bogart movies," she explains. "If you walked into my trailer, I just had every Lauren Bacall movie on DVD. I would just pop them in and have them playing in the background. I watched all of those as much as I could for inspiration."
Phillips' performance bears traces of those classic femme fatales. At the same time, she instills modern sass and edge into Crystal, making her palatable for a generation that's not necessarily familiar with musicals or noir. Right when the opportunity to star in Dark Streets arose, she had to jump on it.
She explains, "I got sent the script, and I was asked to come in and read for it. I love going in to read. They were like, 'Prepare some songs.' I thought that was exciting. I prepared some songs, and I had some records ready. Doing a jazz musical is everything I've wanted to do since I was a little girl. When other kids were listening to whatever modern music was popular, my parents were playing Etta James, Billie Holiday, and the blues. My dad only listened to Motown."
Phillips's dad wasn't just another Motown fan, though. He's singer John Phillips of '60s dream pop legends The Mamas and The Papas. Growing up, music was everywhere around her. However, it wasn't just standard Woodstock fare. "Everyone always thinks, 'Oh, did you listen to a lot of Zeppelin, The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, and blah blah blah.' All my dad's friends? No, we listened to the music that inspired my parents, which was the blues, Billie Holiday, Motown, and all that stuff. That's all I heard as a kid. When I moved out, that's all I still listened to. Getting to be a part of this movie and write two songs for it was everything I'd ever wanted when I envisioned being in movies as a kid. Watching Turner Movie Classics and all of those old movies, I would say, 'I'd love to be in that movie.' This is what I'd always wanted to become."
Her wish came true, and Dark Streets channels that classic sensibility. There's an authenticity to the film that makes it stand out. Shot in abandoned theaters in downtown L.A., there's a pervasive sense of history in every frame.
Phillips continues, "The location scouting they did for the movie was unbelievable. That's what gives the movie this texture and this feeling. You couldn't build or buy sets like these. It would cost millions of dollar to make sets like this. It brings the movie to life. You really feel like you've been taken to a new place. The theaters we shot in downtown L.A. are so haunted! You walk in there, and it's like something takes over you. There are still people that are trapped there or something. When you walk in and go through the different parts of it, and you just feel stuff going on. It's inspiring."
"When I'm on stage wearing the outfits and performing, I [feel] completely transformed."
Aside from dodging spirits, Phillips got to showcase her singing skills in the film, challenging herself more than ever before. "When I'm up there on stage wearing the outfits and performing, I [feel] completely transformed. My mom is a jazz singer. I remember going on stage [for Dark Streets] and doing the performance. My mom was watching my monitor, and after I finished she was crying. Everything I wanted to do since I was a little girl was there in that moment. I couldn't believe that I had gotten to do this. I checked off everything on my list that I wanted to do when I made this film. It was awesome."
Dark Streets may rouse younger audience members to, like Phillips, find inspiration in the classics. "I want people to go home and be inspired. Sometimes you see a movie, and you're like, 'I want to go write or I want to go think or I want to go for a walk.' Sometimes, I'll leave movies and I'll have that energy of the film or that energy of the character. I almost talk like that character or think like that character, and it'll just sort of empower me. It'll take over me. I'd want the audience to leave with the feeling that they want to walk out of there and go write something, do something, or think something that's maybe different or separate from what they'd normally do in life, which I think is what you want from every film you make."
—Rick Florino

Hooters: "Delightfully tacky, yet unrefined" Top 5 Page for this destination United States of America Restaurant Tip by b1bob
United States of America Restaurants: 341 reviews and 660 photos
Hooters is a restaurant that specialises in spicy Buffalo-style chicken wings and scantily clad waitresses.
Favorite Dish: Besides some of the waitresses, I like the sampler platter:
crab legs
steamed & Buffalo style shrimp
Buffalo style spicy chicken wings
enough for the whole table. The waitresses contribute to the ambience and service. Nevertheless, the food is rather mediocre.

Q: Exercise mats get a lot of usage – what's the best way to clean them?
A:Whether you're an avid exerciser or managing a fitness facility, chances are your exercise mats could use a little love and do with a good cleaning. The material of your mat will have an influence on how you clean it.
Mats made with a closed-cell foam, like our Deluxe Mat and Express Mat are moisture-resistant, hygienic and easy to clean. If you prefer to avoid chemical disinfectants (which is a good idea as your skin comes in direct contact with the mat), create a natural cleaning solution: fill a spray bottle with water and add 20 – 30 drops of tea tree oil. Spray the mat and wipe dry with a cloth, letting it dry unrolled. This is also a good method to use on mats made of PVC, like our Pilates & Yoga Mat.
Exercise mats made with microfiber and PER (polymer environmental resin) like our Hot Yoga Mat can be machine washed in cold water with a mild or diluted detergent. Wash the mat on its own and ideally in a mesh laundry bag. If you prefer to hand wash this type of mat, fill a tub with warm water and add approximately 200 ml of white vinegar. Mix well and let the mat soak for 20 – 30 minutes, then use a towel to absorb excess water and hang to dry. This method of cleaning also works well on the Hot Yoga Plus Mat.
When you're perusing specific mats in our Mat Boutique, be sure to click on the 'More Information' tab for more detailed care and cleaning instructions!
Here are some other tips on caring for your exercise mat:

I have put my last 2 albums 'Coming Home' and 'Starting As People' up for free download.
Please download them, share them, tweet them, burn them to a CD and then set the CD on fire just because you hate them. It's up to you.

All licensed and registered programs and providers in the State of Michigan appear on Great Start to Quality as an Empty Star, meaning they are licensed or registered. You can visit the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA) to learn more about how to become a licensed or registered program or provider.
If you choose to participate in the Great Start to Quality rating process, you will obtain your published rating on a scale of one- to five-stars.
Great Start to Quality from Start to Finish
The chart and steps below show you the steps you will take when you choose to participate in the Great Start to Quality rating process.
Step 1: Update Your Great Start to Quality Program Profile
Your program's profile:
- Has been filled out with your program's information from licensing.
- Is posted as an Empty Star until you choose to participate in Great Start to Quality.
- Is what parents and families see when they use Great Start to Quality to search for child care and preschool.
- Can be edited to show parents everything your program offers, so the more information you can provide, the better.
Please contact your local Great Start to Quality Resource Center online or by calling 1-877-614-7328 if you need assistance with logging in.
Step 2: Completing Your Self-Assessment Survey (SAS)
After you update your program profile you can choose to participate in the next step of the rating process by:
- Completing your Self-Assessment Survey and selecting the Great Start to Quality Program Quality Indicators that reflect what is currently true for your program.
Step 3: Upload Evidence Supporting Your Self-Assessment Survey
Based on the program quality indicators you select on your Self-Assessment Survey:
- You will need to upload and link documents to support those selections.
- Some of the required documents may be all in one document you upload. For example, a parent handbook may contain information that can serve as evidence for multiple indicators.
Step 4: Submit Your Self-Assessment Survey
Once you complete your Self-Assessment Survey and upload evidence to support your selections, you will be ready to submit and lock your Self-Assessment Survey.
Step 5: Maintaining and Improving Your Program Quality
After submitting your Self-Assessment Survey:
- You can begin creating a Quality Improvement Plan to help you maintain and improve your Star rating.
- Your Quality Improvement Plan within Great Start to Quality allows you to select the indicators you would like to work on.
- You can identify goals, strategies and action steps to help in your quality improvement efforts.
Step 6: Validation of Your Self-Assessment Survey
If your program is selected for validation after submitting your Self-Assessment Survey, you will be contacted by a Validator.
Validation includes:
- Review of your Self-Assessment Survey and the documents you uploaded.
- A discussion with a Validator about your Self-Assessment Survey and documents. If there are any additional documents that need to be uploaded, you will be given a brief window of time after this discussion.
- A published rating is good for two years after the validation is complete. If your program receives a 4 or 5 Star validation, you will move on to the on-site Assessment step of the rating process.
- Receiving your validation results from a Quality Improvement Consultant from your local Great Start to Quality Resource Center. You can also see your validation results by looking at the "SAS to Validation report" on your Great Start to Quality STARS platform.
Step 7: On-site Assessment Using the Program Quality Assessment
Great Start to Quality uses the Program Quality Assessment (PQA) tools from the HighScope Educational Research Foundation for on-site assessments.
The PQA used for your program will be at least one of the following:
- The Infant-Toddler PQA
- The Preschool PQA
- The Family Child Care PQA
If you receive a 4 or 5 Star validation, you will be required to have an on-site assessment before you receive your published rating.
- You will be contacted by a member of the Great Start to Quality team to gather information and answer any of your questions.
- The on-site assessment is unannounced and unscheduled. The goal is to complete the assessment during a typical day at your program, so you have the chance to give a small number of dates you know will not be a typical day for you (i.e. field trip days).
- If you are not able to or choose not to have the on-site assessment completed at that time, you will be eligible to receive a 3 Star or Empty Star until you are ready to complete the process.
- After the assessment is complete, you will receive your results from a Quality Improvement consultant from your local Great Start to Quality Resource Center.
Step 8: Published Ratings
Once the rating process is complete:
- Your program will receive its published rating that appears on Great Start to Quality when families search for care.
- This rating is good for two years from the date you receive your published rating.
- You can see the published rating date in the published rating box on your program's Self-Assessment Survey.
- If your program has made changes to improve your quality, you may apply for reassessment prior to your two-year anniversary date.
