Storage stability of marine phospholipids emulsions
Publication: Research › Conference abstract for conference – Annual report year: 2011
Marine phospholipids (MPL) are believed to provide more advantages than fish oil from the same source. They are considered to have a better bioavailability, a better resistance towards oxidation and a higher content of polyunsaturated fatty acids such as eicosapentaenoic (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acids (DHA) than oily triglycerides (fish oil). Therefore, the objective of this study is to explore the feasibility of using marine phospholipids emulsions as delivery system through investigation of the physical, oxidative and hydrolytic stability of MPL emulsions with or without addition of fish oil. The effect of initial Peroxide Value, total lipids, phospholipids and antioxidants content on stability of MPL emulsions were studied. The physical stability was investigated through measurement of particle size distribution and creaming stability, which involve measurement of changes (%) in emulsion volume. In addition, preliminary investigation of the oxidative and hydrolytic stability was carried out through determination of Peroxide Value and Free Fatty Acids Value after 32 days storage at room temperature and 2ºC, respectively. Oxidative stability of MPL emulsions were also investigated through measurement of secondary volatile compounds by Solid Phase Microextraction at several time intervals at 2°C storage. Preliminary results showed that marine phospholipids emulsion has a good oxidative stability.

Soccer is the most popular sport in the world. Although it has not always been tremendously popular in the United States, it is quickly gaining ground. More and more very young children are getting involved in soccer, making it a natural choice for a birthday party theme for both boys and girls. A soccer-themed birthday party lends itself very well to having a bunch of fun and exciting games and activities.
Blindfolded Goal
This simple and easy game will have the kids laughing and having fun. Set up a soccer goal and line up three balls for your players to kick. Blindfold the children, one by one, spin them around, and have them attempt to kick their three balls into the goal. Just trying to get a foot on the ball can become a humorous challenge and the balls will fly in all directions. So make sure you have a couple of people designated to be "runners" to retrieve the balls as they fly astray.
Soccer Dodgeball
To set up this simple variation on a childhood favorite, split your guests into two even groups. Mark off a field into three sections, and place a goal at each end. The two end sections are for the teams, and the middle section is "no man's land." Give each player a ball and at the sound of a whistle, have everyone kick his ball toward the opposing players and goal. The object of the game is to not touch any of the balls that are coming toward you. If you get hit by a ball, you are out, though you can help your teammates by rolling balls to them that roll out of bounds. If a team manages to get a ball in the opposing team's goal, then one of their players who is out gets back in.
Obstacle Course
Set up an obstacle course for your guests using cones and other materials. Have them slalom through the cones while dribbling a soccer ball, jump over cones, hopscotch through hula hoops, and anything else you can think of. Be sure to include a healthy variety of truly skill-oriented challenges along with silly, luck-based ones, so that all of your guests have the opportunity to succeed.
Soccer Water Balloon Relay
Split your guests up into even groups of four or five children each. Set up two cones for each team, one on one side of the field of play, and the other on the opposite side. Provide each team with a filled water balloon, and have a player on each team carefully dribble the water balloon across the field, to the cone and back again without bursting the balloon. As one player finishes, the next player starts. The first team to finish wins. If anyone has a balloon pop, she must go back to the start and begin again.

Simple heuristics from the Adaptive Toolbox: Can we perform the requisite learning?

The Adaptive Toolbox framework specifies heuristics for choice and categorisation that search through cues in previously learned orders (Gigerenzer & Todd, 1999). We examined the learning of three cue parameters defining different orders: discrimination rate (DR) (the probability that a cue points to a unique choice), validity (the probability of correct choice given that a cue discriminates), and success (the probability of correct choice). Success orderings are identical to those by expected information gain (Klayman & Ha, 1987). In two experiments, participants made choices in real-world environments with objective outcome criteria. Participant ratings indicated some appropriate parameter learning when the relevant cue parameter values were highly dispersed. Rated orders of cue validity and DR were less distinct than the objective orders—learning one parameter may be biased towards success by variation in the other. Success ratings capture the variation in validity and DR as well as participants' perception of these parameters.

It doesn't take large pieces of wood to create the look of a floor or wall and it's not hard to put them together. I prefer pine because it's easier to work with so all you have to do is purchase 4 of or 5 pieces and assemble then with smaller strips in back with screws(I like to use drywall screws). You can also use stain to darken the wood then distress to give an antique, well worn look for image themes!
I also use both sides and it's very economical.You can create two different wood surfaces in totally different color tones and techniques! It is limitless what you can create and it can help you be very creative in your future image shoots. Here is another image showing what I mean:
I hope this gives you ideas to create some panels and wood surfaces of your own!
Here are some images using these wood creations:

Pulp Comics: Julia Sweeney (1998)
Best (so far) of the Pulp Comics Specials
So many of the Pulp Comic episodes were wholly unwatchable, and I have tried to watch them as they come along, but this particular one was one of the best! Julia Sweeney is at her best in this special, and the video bits that are peppered throughout are GREAT! If Pulp Comics had more specials of this caliber, it would probably still be on today.
There were some other good episodes of this series, but way too many of them were just not done well, or featured comics that just weren't funny.
If this special is ever released on DVD or Bluray disk, I would probably purchase it. I am also hoping that she records some of her other specials.
Jesse (1998)
Good for first season then went downhill quickly
In the beginning this was not a bad show, by beginning I mean the first season, then the powers that be decided to reformat by dropping several members of the case without explanation, and left Jesse seeking a new job, which she was not suited for. If they had kept things the way they were, that might have saved the series.
For those that liked The Single Guy, this also happened on that series, trading the one good couple on the show for a Bagel Shop, not unlike the coffee shop on Friends.

Blogging Issues
- not able to see comments as you write your own comment
- comments being eaten
- what else?
To address the first one,
I check the spam filter almost daily and I only see a couple of valid comments (versus real spam) getting in there. I'm not sure if a comment isn't in there and you wrote and posted it (but it doesn't show up), where it goes.
I will try to get this fixed as soon as I can.
21 comments:
- kellie said...
Under the old system, when you hit preview, you could see your entire post. Now with preview, the posts is even smaller in the text box. It makes it challenging to edit.
Also, collapse comments is gone. I found it helpful when trying to reply to questions to be able to collapse some of the text and open others.
Thanks! - 10/21/11, 10:35 AM

Does anyone else have a problem with huge sluggishness in scrolling & moving from one entry to another? I've never had a problem with this before on SS blog (and still don't on other blogs) but this is annoying/trying my patience to the extreme. Every time I click on a new entry, post comment, preview, etc. the whole district calendar has to reload, and the site starts back up at the top & you have to wait until it comes back to where you just were...And there's no way to smoothly scroll down a page without a delay/jumping response. This all reminds me of "dial-up" days when you would log on, go get a cup of coffee and still wait!
Honestly, if I look at the improvements ("most popular" from this week, district calendar, etc) vs the drawbacks (sterile white background fading into no distinct layout contrasts (that we had before), tiny comments/edit box, having to wait until the whole site reloads, plus the huge sluggish response, I actually prefer the old format overall- (sorry!) - 10/21/11, 11:47 AM
- Melissa Westbrook said...
Don't worry about hurting our feelings. It's a work in progress and I am sorry for the delays and frustrations.
Yes, I am having problems with delays too. And I still can't see the comments in the second charter thread, even with making the changes to cookes, java, etc. that blogger suggests.
- Josh Hayes said...
I for one have no problem at all with the new format - at least as far as having it work on my display. It's quick, scrolls smoothly, and I can see (and could post if I wanted to, I suspect) all comments on all threads.
FWIW, I'm running Firefox on Windows Vista (I know, I know - I gotta get around to upgrading to Win 7: I even have the discs!). YMMV. - 10/21/11, 12:58 PM
Thanks for all your hard work on updating the blog.
1 - expand browser compatibility - the Seattle library system doesn't quite work with the new set-up
2 - the blog loads slowly and "stutters" or "flickers" when switching pages/articles - ditto when clicking on comments -
The delay occurs for me as well using IE. Chrome seems much better but I'm not a huge Chrome fan so i am only using it for this site.
- Jan said...
Melissa -- I had the same problem "still baffled" mentioned. I cannot, for love or money, get to the comments on the 2nd charter thread. The comment link sends me to another link of the full article.
I have had a few munched comments -- but it may have been my fault somewhere in the log on process. I also liked the collapse comments feature -- it helped to find comments (by author) especially on threads with lots (hundreds) of comments. - 10/21/11, 1:31 PM
I had issues with comments being eaten until I hit the preview button instead of the post comment button. Preview brings you to the word verification, and it posts properly. I don't see flickers or stutters.
Firefox 5 (?) on Win 7. - 10/21/11, 1:49 PM
Why can't it be wonderful like West Seattle Blog, with embedded video and real news reporting!
-Love that westseattleblog - 10/21/11, 2:08 PM
- Melissa Westbrook said...
Maybe because the West Seattle blog is a business and this isn't. But maybe it should be.
Is it bad that I actually liked the old format better? I find this new one very hard to read - since every monitor renders colors slightly differently, it may be just mine - but it's so stark and sterile. Honestly, I haven't been coming to read very much because it's so hard on these old middle aged eyes. Slightly better on my blackberry, weirdly - but still a challenge. In a perfect world (yeah yeah I know) we'd keep the nice new features and go back to the old color pallet
I also experience sluggish loading issues - and posting is always problematic.
Thanks for all your hard work. - 10/21/11, 3:08 PM
- SP said...
Now there's an idea, Melissa & Charlie- The West Seattle blog is really "reader friendly" and the only blog I've seen where the advertising doesn't bother me- it is very low key on the side strip with convienent links to the businesses (never flashing in your face pop ups).
I bet you could sign on sponsors and atleast get something for your efforts!!! - 10/21/11, 3:38 PM
- SP said...
Holy smokes!!! I just came back here to add one more short note, and the comment page is back to the original SSS blog format!
The colors/contrasts are so much better (atleast for these poor eyes of mine), but I can see now it wasn't the background color but instead maybe the type, size & boldness of font, in addition to the other brightly colored headlines, but in addition its the the well defined columns with the wide color bands on both sides (rather than the massive "white-out" feeling).
Also, it now scrolls smoothly up & down like it used to, without the frustrating stops & hops! It goes from 0-60 in two seconds (up & down the page)! I don't know if it's just that change takes time to get used to, but I really prefer this format visually & functionally.
What I was going to add were 2 more things that I really like with the West Seattle blog- they have multiple tabs at the top that are fantastic (I could think of many uses on this blog for tabs like this- a SPS calendar, resource links, other blog links, issues, etc).
The other thing I really like is visually in the WS blog is the use of "highlighted boxes" (with light blue background) imbedded in the main entry text and used in the comments section also- it really helps to break up the big blinding white-out feeling also. - 10/21/11, 6:35 PM
No problems here, Firefox 7.0.1 on a Mac.
(zb) - 10/21/11, 6:51 PM
in your new blog, I cannot post AT ALL! I am only posting this now because as SP just noted the comments came up tonight as the old SSS format, where I can comment as I do now. But in your new format, when I try to post I am asked to "select prefix" from a drop-down list that doesn't drop down, so I can never preview or post, either anonymously or with a chosen moniker. Where are the old "Choose an identity" bubbles to click?
After this last chance to post from the old format tonight, if I am quiet from now on Melissa, that's the reason why! The new format is not allowing at least some of us to post at all. - 10/22/11, 3:13 AM

Mac OSX 10.6.8
running FireFox 7.0.1
running Safari 5.1.1
both work fine. - 10/22/11, 11:03 AM
- SP said...
I think it's Internet Explorer on PC's that seems to be the problem with the jerky, slow response, reloading at every click, etc.
it's very hard to read the black on white on blue background. the old style was easier on the eyes.
I've had difficulty posting comments as well. They'll post - I'll see them there - but when I come back to the post later, my comment is gone. Some posts I cannot see the comments at all, or the main page will tell me there are 25 comments, but the comment page (which is also now back to the old colors on mine) might be showing 22 or 23 comments.
I'm running Safari 5 - even updated to Safari 5.1.1 to see if that might help - on a Mac with 10.6.8 and a Netflix-streaming-fast network. I've also had problems posting from my iPad.

The Fulham striker Louis Saha is "disgusted" by the club's refusal to sell him to Manchester United, according to quotes attributed to the striker in the French press.
The owner of Fulham, Mohamed Al Fayed, yesterday claimed he was "fed up" with the attempts by United's manager, Sir Alex Ferguson, to prise the 25-year-old away from the London club, while the Cottagers' manager, Chris Coleman, said he would not be "bullied" into selling the player.
But Saha is quoted in yesterday's edition of the sports daily L'Equipe as saying: "I was told they didn't want to let me go. I'm really disgusted, stunned. A transfer to Manchester was a good deal for everyone.
"United offered £8m, which was excellent for Fulham. I am not Ronaldo! And this was a good opportunity for me to join one the greatest clubs in the world. It was the chance of my life. It is obvious that Manchester will not try to get me again in six months' time, because they will have found another striker by then. I really don't understand the chairman's [Fayed] opinion. I gave a lot to Fulham, they could have done me that favour."
Saha has scored 14 goals this season but Fayed insists that the squad must be kept together as the Cottagers aim to gain European football next term.
Meanwhile, Fulham have been ordered to pay Lyon a final balance of £3.2m for the transfer of Steve Marlet by the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Lausanne.
The Cottagers were told yesterday they must clear the balance remaining from Marlet's £11.5m move from the French club after the court dismissed their challenge to the deicision made by the decision by the executive committee of world football's governing body, Fifa.
The final payment was originally due on 14 December, but Fulham withheld it because they were unhappy with the role the Barcelona-based agents Sebastien and Pascal Boisseau played in negotiations. However, the arbitration panel concluded that all aspects of the transaction were in compliance with Fifa regulations. They revealed yesterday: "Lyon are entitled to the full payment of the transfer fee. None of Fulham's contentions survive the panel's analysis."
The decision was announced on Lyon's official website. The Barclaycard Premiership club have also been ordered to pay the arbitration costs and expenses.
Marlet, who will be 30 on Saturday, moved from Lyon in August 2001 on a five-year contract with built-in pay rises. He joined Marseille on loan in August and is due to play for the French outfit for the remainder of the current season.
Chelsea appear unlikely to sign the Czech international goalkeeper Petr Cech in the near future, after the player's club, Rennes, yesterday turned down the Blues' bid.
Interest from Stamford Bridge in the 21-year-old Cech has come on the back of some stirring performances for his club and country over the past 18 months. Cech is contracted to Rennes until June 2006, and his club are apparently not prepared to let him leave until this summer at the earliest.
"We received Chelsea's offer regarding the transfer of Rennes goalkeeper Petr Cech on Monday 5 January, in the late evening," said a club statement, which did not disclose what sum Chelsea had bid.
"But Stade Rennais FC have refused that offer and informed Chelsea officially that Petr Cech will remain in Rennes until the end of the season."
The rebuttal may not mark the end of Chelsea's interest in the young shot-stopper, who is also reportedly being pursued by Real Madrid and Internazionale .
Even though Chelsea's Italian goalkeeper, Carlo Cudicini, is rated among the finest in the Premiership, it seems to have become unofficial club policy since the Roman Abramovich takeover in the summer to have at least two high-quality players per position.

Arena hires firm to trim debt
Published November 10, 2003
Arrowhead Pond and city officials in Anaheim think a new private facility-management firm with more favorable contract terms will eventually stem the tide of red ink flowing around the 10-year-old arena, home to the NHL Mighty Ducks.
Last Tuesday, the Anaheim City Council approved an agreement with newly formed Anaheim Arena Management to take over building management from Covanta Energy Corp. (formerly Ogden Entertainment), which went into Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in 2002. Henry Samueli, chairman and chief technical officer of tech firm Broadcom Corp., owns Anaheim Arena Management.
Arrowhead Pond hopes to reduce $10 million annual payment on construction debt.
A federal Bankruptcy Court must approve the transaction, which should be completed by Dec. 31, said Arrowhead Pond general manager Tim Ryan. The new contract is for 20 years with a 10-year option.
As part of the deal, the city negotiated an estimated $100 million settlement with creditors in court over debt from construction costs. Anaheim Arena Management is responsible for $45 million in existing debt. Annual payments were reduced from $10 million to $4.5 million.
"Now we can start the clock over in terms of debt on the building," said Ryan, who has been at the Pond since its pre-opening period in the early 1990s.
Unlike the previous contract, the city will not pay a $3 million to $5 million management fee. Without the benefit of that fee, Ryan said, the new management company would "in the simplest terms, run the arena as a traditional business" by focusing on facility rentals, event production, premium seating and sponsorships among other revenue streams.
Securing a second major tenant, perhaps the NBA's Los Angeles Clippers, could boost revenue for Anaheim Arena Management because it would activate an incentive fee that would increase the leaseholder's share of revenue from 75 percent to 80 percent.
The Clippers have played about 40 games at the Pond in the last decade.
Team executives could not be reached for comment.

Minnesotans have flocked to casting ballots before Election Day, leaving all previous records in the dust. Hubbard County is no exception as early voting boosts numbers. Nearly 416,000 voters have already had absentee or mail-ballots accepted, according to numbers released Thursday, Nov. 3, by the secretary of state. That means about 13 percent of the Minnesotans who are registered to vote have already filled out their ballots.
Minnesota officials rejected environmentalists' requests to delay study of a proposed northern Minnesota oil pipeline Friday, Oct. 28, but a lengthy environmental review must be completed before approval is given to build it. The Minnesota Public Utilities Commission (MNPUC) voted 5-0 to deny motions by environmental groups. The environmental study will take months. The Line 3 pipeline would replace a nearly 60-year-old one. The new one would run either in the same area of the existing pipeline or along other utility corridors.

Some cricketers have turned up in South Africa claiming to be the England one-day side. This would fool only the credulous considering the clinically efficient and crisp way this bunch are playing, as opposed to the fitful methods usually betrayed by the team bearing their name. But perhaps this new leaf will stay turned.
Their victory by eight wickets yesterday against the Chevrolet Warriors was as straightforward as that in the opening match on Friday, this time batting second. The indications are growing that the tourists are capable of giving South Africa a run for their money when the serious limited-overs stuff begins later this week.
It is premature to be confident. While England were cruising to victory in the old diamond town, South Africa were crushing Zimbabwe in a one-day international 300 miles west in Benoni. England will spot the difference in opposition immediately.
But if the win was straightforward, it also provided proper practice. The Warriors made 254 for 5 against an attack in which not every member has found his rhythm. The target was surpassed with 9.1 overs to spare after Andrew Strauss and Joe Denly assembled a first-wicket partnership of 175.
Strauss was in especially good order, finding his range from the start of his innings. He clearly intends to remain rigorously faithful to the declaration of boldness announced almost with the fanfare of a declaration of independence when they left home, and his hundred was predictable from a long way out. He struck a straight six as early as the ninth over which was not the Strauss in his first incarnation as a one-day opener for England. Like his team, he has changed: his unbeaten 117 took 119 balls.
Denly took a little longer to discover his timing but his 82 was eventually full of front-foot biffing. The competition for places in the one-day side – Kevin Pietersen arrives tomorrow – has been truly joined. There has been something about Denly since he came into the side at the fag end of the last English season, but it has been mildly irritating to see him give away solid starts. Yesterday, despite a few swishes at air, he embraced the task.
England were without both Stuart Broad and Graham Onions whose soreness in shoulder and back respectively precluded their selection. There had been a genuine old-fashioned injury scare about Broad the previous day when his arm was in a sling after having fallen on his right shoulder during Friday's victory. The mood in the squad was initially downcast and it was feared he had incurred long-term damage. A scan showed otherwise and Broad was able to carry the drinks yesterday without undue grimacing.
The Warriors are one of the provincial sides, now labelled as franchises and given names which make it impossible to know their location. In their case they are a combination of the old Eastern Province and Border sides and play their games at Port Elizabeth and East London. The warm-up match yesterday was a chance to give Kimberley, one of the Diamond Eagles' homes, a sight of England on this tour.
Warriors were indebted to their captain, Davy Jacobs, and the tall left-hander Arno Jacobs. They accumulated wisely in a fourth-wicket stand of 130, never seeming to rush but scoring at almost a run a ball. Davy played a handful of matches for Northamptonshire in 2007 and that same summer, Arno represented both Scotland in the Friends Provident Trophy and Leicestershire in the County Championship. He might have given Andrew Flintoff the idea of "have bat, will travel".
England's most outstanding bowler was Graeme Swann who found some turn and drift in the breeze. Tim Bresnan shrugged off some of his rustiness, Sajid Mahmood and Adil Rashid did not. But after their brief visit to this outpost, which is still dominated by the Big Hole where precious stones were first dug here, England could consider themselves diamond geezers.
Bollinger the toast of Australia after five-wicket haul
Doug Bollinger claimed a five-wicket haul and Shane Watson chipped in with a breezy innings as Australia defeated India by six wickets in the sixth one-day international in Guwahati yesterday to take an unassailable 4-2 lead in the seven-match series.
Bollinger (5 for 25) and Mitchell Johnson (3 for 39) left India reeling at 27 for five with a dazzling burst with the new ball, but the home side recovered through half-centuries from Ravindra Jadeja (57) and Praveen Kumar (54 not out) to reach 170 all out.
The target hardly troubled Australia as Watson smashed a run-a-ball 49 and Michael Hussey made a steady unbeaten 35 as they overhauled the target with 8.1 overs to spare.

Luigi's Mansion on the GameCube still holds up well. Not sure why people can't just accept that the Wii U sales won't pick up until a big hitter arrives. Consider it a failure when the big hitters don't sell or don't even appear. Until then change the record (fat chance). |

In movies or on TV, a wheel can seem to rotate backwards, due to the temporal subsampling inherent in the recording process (the wagon wheel illusion). Surprisingly, this effect has also been reported under continuous light, suggesting that our visual system, too, might sample motion in discrete "snapshots." Recently, these results and their interpretation have been challenged. Here, we investigate the continuous wagon wheel illusion as a form of bistable percept. We observe a strong temporal frequency dependence: the illusion is maximal at alternation rates around 10 Hz but shows no spatial frequency dependence. We introduce an objective method, based on unbalanced counterphase gratings, for measuring this phenomenon and demonstrate that the effect critically depends on attention: the continuous wagon wheel illusion was almost abolished in the absence of focused attention. A motion-energy model, coupled with attention-dependent temporal subsampling of the perceptual stream at rates between 10 and 20 Hz, can quantitatively account for the observed data.

Not all mortgage loans have the same terms or function the same way, so researching all available mortgage products can help a borrower find the best loan for his or her real estate purchase. There are different types of mortgages available when buying property. What type of mortgage a borrower chooses is influenced by the interest rate, length of time the person will keep the real estate, the price of the property, and the options available to the borrower.
Loan Stability
The percentage of interest, or interest rate, the borrower pays during the life of a fixed-rate mortgage does not change. Adjustable-rate mortgages, also called ARMs, have a variable interest rate. Typically, these types of loans have a lower interest rate than fixed mortgages initially, but the interest rate on an ARM resets, or changes, on a date specified in the mortgage terms. This means the borrower has no control over what will happen in an adjustable-rate mortgage when the loan resets. Even if the payments rise by a large sum, the borrower still has to make all installments in full and on time.
Payment Amount
When an adjustable-rate mortgage resets, the new interest rate is determined by a sum of market indexes, like the Cost of Funds Index, which is an average of loan expenses lenders are incurring by region. If the indexes rise, so does the borrower's interest rate, and the mortgage payment will go up. There is a maximum amount the interest rate on an ARM can rise to, or a cap, specified in the loan documents, but this rate can be double the initial interest rate. If the indexes decline, the interest rate goes down, and so does the mortgage payment amount. With a fixed mortgage, the mortgage loan portion of the payment remains the same every month, although the total amount of the payment can go up if there is a change in fees for another item attached to the loan, such as homeowner's insurance. This allows the borrower to budget and plan finances for the future.
Prepayment Penalities
Any mortgage loan may have a prepayment penalty, or fees charged by the lender when the loan is paid in full before the maturity date, or date the final payment was due under the mortgage terms. This is commonly seen with an ARM mortgage, as per the Federal Trade Commission, and can make refinancing the loan expensive for the borrower. Fixed-rate loans are less likely to have a prepayment penalty.
Negative Amortization
When a borrower makes mortgage payments, the loan payment itself is made up of two parts: the interest and the principal, or amount of the mortgage. Amortization is the term used to describe a reduction in the principal balance. Negative amortization occurs when the loan payment is not enough to pay the interest and principal portions due. If this occurs, the amount of the difference between what is paid and what is due is then added to the balance of the loan. Fixed-rate loans where negative amortization occurs are know as graduated payment mortgages. The payments are lower early on but rise over time in order for the loan to be paid in full by the maturity date. Because the interest rate on fixed loans does not change, the borrower is aware of when the loan payment will rise and by how much. When negative amortization occurs with an ARM, there is an impact on the payment when the loan resets, but the borrower will not know how much the payment will go up in advance. This occurs because the interest rate changes and the loan still needs to be paid off by the maturity date. The lender will raise the payment to whatever amount is needed to pay off the current balance at the new interest rate on time.

Take this was a whole mountains worth of salt grains but an unknown "insider" has said that Nintendo will introduce E-Reader capabilities in their next console. The "insider" goes on to state that this feature will later be added to the 3DS as well. The "insider" seems to be very well connected as he/she also claims that one intention for this feature is to allow for official strategy guides to released for the virtual console games.
You may have noticed that I kept referring to the insider in this rumour as "insider" that is to say that I am more than a little dubious about the veracity of his claims. While I can see the logic behind the suggestions – what tablet like device or Smartphone doesn't have an e-reader function these days. However this list does read a little like a wish list or the ramblings of a boastful 10 year old – My Dad is the strongest in the world, his car has a rocket boost and it can do this or that etc.

In order to embrace spring, I've broken out my trusty bright, printed skirts. Here's how I mix the trend with the stand-by.
There are two keys to pulling this off. First, if both pieces contain white make sure they match. If one piece is actually cream, the mix looks more laundry day than intentional dressing. Second, pay attention to the size and business of your patterns. The first two skirts above feature complex patterns, but the they don't use that many colors. For these, stick to a simple pattern like stripes or polka dots for the top. The third skirt also features a complex pattern, but it contains at least five colors. Instead of a pattern, wear a color block or contrast trim top. The fourth skirt is a very simple, repeating design in green tones. For a print this simple, go a little nuts up top like with this lace print top.

Complete Official List of All Sydney Suburbs
We have used this OFFICIAL list of all of Sydney suburbs below for planning our walks of Sydney suburbs. We count only areas designated as "suburb" by The Geographical Names Board of New South Wales (http://www.gnb.nsw.gov.au/) - even though some official "localities" are larger. Since the list is not easily available from their website, we provide the complete list for everyone. We have also listed the 40 Local Government Areas and the numbers of suburbs in each one

AbdulhamidReader comment on item: Finding Allah in Unlikely Places Submitted by Daisy (United States), Feb 27, 2006 at 23:28 "..so respect ISLAM because no matter what your religion is, it is being respected."Then explain: Why NO religion other than Islam can be practiced in Saudi Arabia and if another religion gets practiced .. even in secret ... the practitioner is severely penalized: whipped, jailed, amputated etc. I've made this real easy Abdulhamid ... I've not asked you to explain the systematic teaching of anti-Judaism throughout Islam and the routine murders of Israelis/the be-headings of Christian schoolchildren in Indonesia/the murders of Sudanese Animists and Christians in Africa/9-11 committed against the Big and Little Satans/the murders of Russian schoolchildren in Belsan by Chechyans/the murders of Priests in Turkey and Pakistan/the destruction of ancient Buddhist statues in Afghanistan/the gang rapes of European women because they are not the 'right' religion/ North-South-East-West ... everywhere one looks ... murders of 'infidels' by Muslims. but all I'm asking you to deal with is Saudi Arabia .. the home of Mecca .. beloved not only by "extremists" but by mainstream 'peaceful' Muslims who would rather permit brutality than allow freedom of religious expression in Saudi Arabia .. home of the enslaved infidel sex slaves and laborers and the disgusting 'royals' and Al Quaeda. Explain that 'respect' Abdulhamid, why don't you? Note: Opinions expressed in comments are those of the authors alone and not necessarily those of Daniel Pipes. Original writing only, please.

Pin It
I am always a bit nervous about giving things I have knitted as gifts. I have a passion for knitting and all things fibre, but I have noticed that not everyone shares this - strange I know, but there it is. This year though, it's time to get serious and I have all manner of hand knitted items to give away to friends.
The first is an Owl Cowl. One of our Teachers at work is moving back to South Australia and earlier on in the year, she mentioned that she loves owls and all things owl-ish.
I spent a bit of time browsing for a pattern and came across the 'Hedwig Owl Cowl' by Jeni Anderson on Ravelry. It is not a free pattern but I liked it enormously, spent the $3.41AUS for the pattern and I was ready to go.
Jeni has done a great job with the pattern. It is remarkably easy to knit (I finished it in one evening) and is very cute and effective. I used yarn from my stash, spent $6.00 on buttons so including the pattern, I have a wonderful hand made gift to give for under $10.00.
Happy Knitting,
Thanks so much for visiting. We'd love to have you join us on Facebook too.

It could be the weather as mine are shorter than usual. Have you fed them? It might help
Magnolias don't like being in exposed positions. It's probably wind that has caused the brown leaf edges. The leaves on my tree tend to start a yellow colour and then green up as they age. The wind could also be rocking the plant making it difficult for it to take root.
I think it's oilseed rape, probably seed carried in by birds from local fields
The common name for 1&3 is Torbay Palms as they can become very large. I had one thta grew to about 4 metres before the top was killed off by the snow in 2009/10. It regrew from the base.
You will find almost impossible to remove leaves until they are completely dead. You could just cut the brown bits off if you wanted. The flower stalks can also be cut down once they have flowered
Nos 1 & 3 are probably Cordylines, only need to remove dead flower spikes
I think your right Nutcutlet, bonariensis.
This could be a Sumach, they produce hundreds of new plants from their roots.
No 9 could be Golden Rod.
I'm glad it's not that. Was the only thing that appeared to be like the photo.
Looking in my pest book this could be Fireblight. If it is then you have a problem. Try googling it to get images so that you can compare.

Eric Mararv posts on here as CAWA. This is truly said. British man facing death penalty after 13 bodies found in Africa | Mail Online British hunter faces death penalty for 'mass murder' in Africa after FINDING 13 victims of wanted warlord Joseph Kony by Rebecca Evans A British man was last night facing the death penalty after being charged with mass murder following the discovery of 13 bodies in an African jungle. David Simpson, 24, a manager for a big game company, was arrested six weeks ago in the Central African Republic after he reported the gruesome find to police. He found himself being thrown in prison accused of the killings, which are widely believed to have been carried out by supporters of notorious warlord Joseph Kony. Mr Simpson, whose company offers wealthy clients the opportunity to shoot lions, leopards and buffalo, is being detained in a cramped and filthy jail cell with 80 other inmates in what he has described as a 'nightmare'. The Yorkshire-born son of a farmer told the Daily Mail he has been charged with a crime that still carries the death penalty in the war-torn impoverished country. Speaking yesterday on a mobile phone smuggled into prison, he said: 'For six weeks they held me without a shred of evidence. 'And now I have been forced to sign a piece of paper which states that I have been charged with murdering 13 people. 'It is just ridiculous. Everyone knows I had nothing to do with it. They know it was Kony. 'It's all about money. They think because I am white, I must be wealthy. 'When they first arrested me, my bail was set at one million euros, which is just ludicrous. 'I do not know what is going to happen. It's like a nightmare. I'm sleeping on the floor with no blankets or mattress. I just want this to be over.' Ugandan rebel chief Kony, the leader of the Lord's Resistance Army, is wanted by the International Criminal Court for crimes against humanity including the abduction of thousands of children he has forced to be soldiers or sex slaves. His troops have committed hundreds of atrocities in the Central African Republic, where he is understood to be in hiding. He made international headlines after a video of his terrible crimes was viewed more than 90million times and highlighted by celebrities including Angelina Jolie. Mr Simpson moved to Africa two years ago for an exciting new life away from his family's pheasant farm in Gillamoor, North Yorkshire. As manager for the game hunting company he is also the firm's pilot, flying guests and picking up supplies. He was helping colleagues clear a road through dense bush in the south of his firm's vast hunting reserve on March 23 when they found the mutilated bodies of workers near a gold mine. The men had been tied together in groups of four and murdered by having boiling water poured over them. They had been cut with machetes and beaten with sticks. He said: 'It was a terrible thing to see. They were murdered in such a methodical and brutal way, tied together in groups, face down and in circles with their heads together. 'I told the police but I didn't think for a second they would try to pin it on me. 'Kony has killed and maimed lots of villagers here. I have found the bodies of women and children he had kidnapped and then murdered. 'I led investigators to the massacre site and they took a few photos on their mobile phones, which was about the sum total of their investigation.' Police in the capital, Bangui, detained Mr Simpson and his Swedish boss Erik Mararv after six hours of interrogation when they voluntarily went to report the massacre in the remote south-east of the country. Mr Mararv is also in custody. His company Cawa offers clients the chance to hunt wild game at a cost of thousands of pounds, with the cost of shooting a lion around 20,000 pounds. Mr Simpson's brother Paul, 22, who lives with their parents, Peter, 57, and Vicky, 55, on their farm, said: 'I just hope the police come to their senses and release him.' The Foreign Office said it was providing consular assistance.
Having fought in two bush wars for almost thirteen years, I'll tell you this. No man, possessing even, if only, a single iota of either compassion, conscience or dignity, can begin to comprehend, let alone make sense of, the barbaric hideousness of the cruelty and violence that these 'things' are capable of. It is sad that this young man is caught up in thiss mess. I hope that his family have the means to put together a crew to spring him, because I, personally, have not much faith in 'consular assistance'.
Sad but to often true story, just getting ready for another UN tour in the DRC and more often than not it is always about the money ... i wish him good luck
This is crazy! Best wishes to Erik's wife, sister and the rest of the CAWA team. Hope it all comes good and the situation is resolved with no further grief for the Mararv's and their crew.
That is the bad news that explains why hunting was interrupted. Truly awful. I feel for the men and their families.
with you on your summing up of their capabilities, and the total lack of their giving a flying f...k about consular assistance.
Another place where time moves very slowly... This could take years before it will be brought to the courts.
All it takes is a rumour and you are guilty. Dear hunters and friends, We know that some of you are already aware of the situation, and we have therefore decided to send this email out to all of you, to make sure you receive the same information. We have today decided to officially close down our 2012 hunting season in CAR, for the following reasons. On 22 March, a few gold miners were found killed in a gold mine just south of our hunting concession. Since CAWA was apparently not targeted, we didn't see this as a threat against us, but many of our workers had family or friends among the ones who had been killed, so understandably, they were all very sad and upset. We immediately made it clear to our employees that those who were directly touched by the tragedy were free to quit work and go back home, but that we hoped that the remaining part of the staff would finish the season together with us. However we soon realized that almost all the trackers wanted to leave, as well as an important part of the camp staff. The hunters who were currently in the area were informed of the situation, and of the fact that we would not be able to live up to our standards with such big part of the staff members going out. We then made the decision, together with them, that it would be wiser to cancel the safaris and fly all hunters to Bangui, which was also done. At this time, we still had hopes that the situation would calm down pretty soon and that part of the staff would get back to work again. However, a rumor started spreading in Bakouma, our nearest larger village, saying that it was actually CAWA that was responsible for the death of the gold miners. There is evidently no truth behind this rumor, indeed we had been in contact with the gold miners since they had been disturbing the hunt in the southern part of our area, but to accuse us of such a terrible act is totally out of sense. Nevertheless, the situation in Bakouma became quite tense, and Erik was asked to fly down to Bangui to explain what had happened. Once in Bangui, after a few meetings with several authorities, a decision was made to keep him under surveillance in Bangui until things had calmed down a bit. With this situation, it has become obvious that we cannot continue hunting this season. We are very confident that everything will eventually be cleared out, but at this stage we have no means to carry through any more safaris this year, and that is why we have made the decision to close down the season. We will now proceed with the documentation for trophy export and those of you that have hunted with us this season will receive a personal email with information about when the trophies will be shipped. We thank you all for your understanding in this unfortunate situation. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to get back to us. Sincerely Emelie Mararv Owner Central African Wildlife Adventures Tel CAR: +236 75 206957 Tel SAT: +88 216 692 516 63 (currently in use) Tel SAT: +88 216 212 074 95 Tel Europe: +46 73 0735285 E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com Web: Central African Wildlife Adventures - The most exclusive safari company in Central Africa
This is really sad! I had a discussion the other day with a couple of friends about these kinds of situations in Africa. I feel people truly do not understand what goes on in the world. They do not understand the brutality that goes on in some of these African counties. Most people live their lives and do not understand the struggles of its people. We live in a wonderful place and try to judge others when we have never seen anything like their struggle. One can only hope that everything works out for the good for Mr Simpson.
Hi all, Here is a link of Emilie's blog if you want to ask her any questions.. Central African Wildlife Adventures. In any case I am confident for the next hunting season, it is just question of time .... Best Christophe
I heard from Emelie just now and it seems they are confident that they are on the way to a solution and the boys are in good spirits. Look forward to a swift resolution for all concerned, both the CAWA team and the families of the miners. Thanks for the update Christophe.
Emilie is certainly upbeat. She has certainly learned patience living in there. Here's hoping for them all.
there was a double page article in the uk "daily mail" newspaper last saturday (9th june) about david simpson and the situation he is in. they had an interview and a photo of him behind bars. still there and from the article it didnt seem like any progress had been made.
