A polyhistidine-tag is an amino acid motif in proteins that consists of at least five histidine (His) residues, often at the N- or C-terminus of the protein.
Polyhistidine-tags are often used for affinity purification of polyhistidine-tagged recombinant proteins expressed in Escherichia coli and other prokaryotic expression systems.

CD30 ligand (CD30L), also known as CD153 and TNFSF8, is a membrane-associated glycoprotein belonging to the TNF superfamily and TNFR superfamily, and is a specific ligand for CD30/TNFRSF8 originally described as a cell surface antigen and a marker for Hodgkin lymphoma and related hematologic malignancies. CD30L is a type-II membrane glycoprotein expressed on activated T cells, stimulated monocyte-macrophages, granulocytes, eosinophils, and some Burkitt-like lymphoma cell lines. CD30L is capable of transducing signals through CD30 on different CD30+ lymphoma cell lines, and mediates pleiotropic biologic effects including cell proliferation, activation, differentiation, as well as cell death by apoptosis. CD30-CD30 ligand interaction has been suggested to have a pathophysiologic role in malignant lymphomas, particularly Hodgkin disease, large cell anaplastic lymphomas and Burkitt lymphomas, and is also involved in activation and functioning of the T cell-dependent immune response. Thus, CD153 and its receptor CD30 are regarded as therapeutic targets in hematologic malignancies, autoimmune and inflammatory diseases.

Wondering how you can provide more STEM activities in your classroom? Need help reaching Next Generation Science Standards? Want to incorporate the outdoors in your instruction?
A Maine Audubon Educator Workshop is for you! Maine Audubon provides custom educator workshops for your school or group onsite or at a Maine Audubon Center. In addition to the Project WILD workshops listed below, additional workshops include such topics as Incorporating Citizen Science into your Curriculum, Cycles and Change, Using your Schoolyard and Local Areas and more.
For more information, please contact [email protected]
We are currently working with the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife (MDIFW) to provide Project WILD educator workshops at our centers and locations around the state. All Project WILD workshops offer practical hands-on classroom and outdoor field investigation experiences.
Participants will receive a curriculum guide filled with award-winning activities, as well as a Contact Hour Certificate, IFW posters and supplemental materials from Maine Audubon.
Workshops include an overview of the program, participation in Project WILD activities, information about Maine wildlife and curriculum/program plans for using Project WILD with students. Workshops also include information about additional curriculum materials, training opportunities, individuals and organizations that serve as resources as well as materials about the natural resources and environmental issues within a given state. Correlations of Project WILD activities to your state's content standards are generally available upon request.
Whether you provide formal, non-formal, home school, or scouts education, Project WILD can assist you in teaching any subject, to any grade level. The basic Project WILD workshop focuses on wildlife and habitat. At these lively and engaging professional workshops, participants are introduced to Project WILD materials, activities, and strategies. Through hands-on practice, educators gain the experience and confidence needed to work with their students and to integrate Project WILD into their teaching.
Growing Up WILD is a resource that is invaluable for early childhood professionals. With growing recognition of the need for young children to spend time outdoors, this guide provides practical suggestions for planning activities that are developmentally appropriate and includes all educational domains. Developed with the vision of changing the culture of early childhood education to embrace learning in the outdoors, Growing Up WILD is the first nationally distributed early childhood professional development program and activity guide that integrates environmental education into the early childhood curriculum.
The Project WILD Aquatic K-12 Curriculum and Activity Guide emphasizes aquatic wildlife and aquatic ecosystems. It is organized in topic units and is based on the Project WILD conceptual framework. Because these activities are designed for integration into existing courses of study, instructors may use one or several Project WILD Aquatic activities as the basis for a course of study.
Each Project WILD Aquatic activity contains objectives, method, background information, a list of materials needed, procedures, evaluation suggestions, recommended grade levels, subject areas, duration, group size, setting and key terms. A glossary is provided, as well as a cross-reference by topics and skills.
Flying WILD offers a whole-school approach to environmental education using birds as the focus. Flying WILD includes activities involving language arts, social science and math experiences, coupled with community outreach and service learning applications.
Targeted for the middle-school audience, though widely adaptable to all grade levels, Flying WILD offers practical hands-on classroom and outdoor field investigation experiences connecting real-world experiences in bird biology, conservation and natural history.
This workshop will provide educators at all levels, formal and non-formal, information and activities on diverse water topics so that those educators can reach children with objective, experiential, science-based water education.
Participants will receive Project WET's award-winning Curriculum and Activity Guide 2.0, and other Educator Guides full of activities about watersheds, water quality, floods and water conservation, plus maps, posters and more. There are over 40 full-color activity booklets about a range of water-related topics in the Kids in Discovery series plus children's story books—great classroom resources! You will learn about the Water Education Portal where you share ideas, lesson plans and join discussions about activities and water related topics. Project WET national and state standard correlations are available.
"I wanted to let you know how inspirational the workshop was on Friday to me. I have shared the information with many members of my staff, including the principal." Catherine Hewitt, Wentworth School Scarborough
"I have participated in many workshops and what I like is that this one did what it said it would." Monica Wright, Bath Middle School
"It linked me into ideas and ways to get my students doing 'real science' and collecting real/usable data." Eli Wilson, Bath Middle School
"Thanks so much. It was a wonderfully inspirational workshop. I want to do EVERYTHING!!!!" Lori Safford, Carrabassett Valley Academy

Ford Model
S Max Titanium 2.0 TDCI
UK/Ireland Location
Hi I've been looking for ages trying to find a rear mounted bike rack for my S Max. Evans Cycles are saying this will fit: http://www.evanscycles.com/products/saris/bones-rs-3-bike-rack-ec008399 It looks like it may do as it has a hook that goes under the rim of the tailgate rather than sitting on the bumper (which I think is a problem as the S Max doesn't have one deep enough for it). Can anyone help me on this? Don't want to waste my money and/or damage the car. Thanks!
Why did you go through so many tyres do you think?
Thanks for all the links - will take a look.
Thanks for the info – really helpful. I tried to find reviews of the Chinese one but couldn't as not sure of the model number – do you know where you came across any reviews so I can have a look? Thanks I don't currently have blue tooth or voice control so that wouldn't be a problem and the dash only displays the radio station name. I would miss the steering wheel control for volume etc. though. Apparently an ebay seller called iceboxautos are able to get someone local to supply this unit and keep the steering controls. Thanks for the suggestion of Ford/Blaupunkt "FX" but am not sure which one that is and can't find it on ebay – are you able to post a link to it? Thanks so much – I know that's asking for a lot of help but really appreciate it. Brad
I am also looking at something like this: http://www.ebay.co.u...984.m1423.l2649 As this looks like it will exactly fit the slot in the S Max with no extra fascia or adapters needed – so it might be a lot easier to install? However as its an unknown brand to me and looks like a Chinese import – I'm not sure what it will be like. Basically, I'm looking for something that integrates with the ipod well and can play DVD's and avi/mpeg video files. Thanks again everyone for all your help,
Hi Hope someone can help me. I have a 2006 S Max with a CDC 6006 stereo and want to replace it with a unit like this: http://www.sony.co.uk/support/en/product/XAV-601BT I was hoping that I could just take out the 6006 one with some removal keys and put the Sony in – however it looks like it's a different size. I think I need a kit like this to do it: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CT23FD01A-FORD-S-MAX-2006-ONWARDS-DOUBLE-DIN-FASCIA-FACIA-ADAPTOR-PANEL-KIT-/150919842547?_trksid=p5197.m1992&_trkparms=aid%3D111000%26algo%3DREC.CURRENT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D14%26meid%3D4911665569210426447%26pid%3D100015%26prg%3D1006%26rk%3D2%26sd%3D180654227657%26 Does anyone know the best way to replace the stereo and do I just need this sort of kit to do it – it looks a very complicated kit. Apologies for my ignorance here – I have replaced a normal single-DIN radio before but never a double din and don't want to mess the installation up. I would really appreciate any help, advice, info or pointers anyone has. Many thanks! Brad
Done it! I had to hold down the lock button first and then hold the unlock button - its now working to unlock all doors with a single press. Thanks so much for your help. My next task is to see if I can change the radio to a more up to date double din one (which has ipod integration as thats all I listen to in the car really). Got no idea where to start really so will have a look and perhaps start a thread to see if any one on here has replaced the 6006 CDC with a different unit? Not sure how easy it will be. Hope thats ok to start a thread on that? Thanks everyone. All the best
Thanks so much for the welcome and all the info - much appreciated! :) Have tried holding both lock and unlock down at the same time for 4+ seconds but doesn't seem to do anything. Perhaps i'm not doing it right or pressing both down at exactly the same time. Will try again later. Thanks again. Brad
Hi Firstly, want to say 'hi' to everyone. I've just bought an 06 2.0 TDCI Titanium S Max and am really enjoying it. I had some major problems at the start with the power steering but thats all sorted now by the dealer. One thing, though, is really annoying me - when unlocking the doors with the key fob, I have to press the unlock button twice to be able to unlock all doors. I keep forgetting to do this and the family get annoyed because only the drivers door is unlocked. I thought I read somewhere that you can change this setting by pressing a combination on the key fob, but I can't get it to work whatever I do. Does anyone have any ideas? Would really appreciate the help. Many thanks and all the best Brad


text: 068 FXUS65 KSLC 261548 AFDSLC Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Salt Lake City UT 948 AM MDT Sun Mar 26 2017 .SYNOPSIS...High pressure will return briefly today, followed by another storm system for Monday and Tuesday. && .DISCUSSION...A short wave ridge is advancing across the Great Basin this morning downstream from the next Pac trof that is now starting to move ashore. A cool nwly flow is over the CWA with a little lingering low level moisture over the mtns and w in the form of patchy stratus and fog. Expect the fog and stratus to burn off by noon but the upstream ridge axis will also be crossing the CWA about that time allowing thick higher clouds to overspread the area thru the aftn. Warm advection lift starts tonight with a threat of spotty light precip developing over the nrn CWA towards sunrise. The precip fills in across the wrn 2/3 CWA thru the morning as a cold front enters the state. It persists thru the aftn and spreads into the east with the front. The airmass gets cold enough to lower snow levels to around 6000 ft altho they could get locally lower in heavier precip. Once again, it appears the impact of snow on travel over mtn passes will be limited by the fact that the airmass is not all that cold and increasing sun angle allowing solar heating to filter thru the clouds keeping road surfaces warmer than the air. This could change after sunset as the airmass continues to cool overnight and precip could linger as well. Precip should taper off by Tue eve as the system moves off to the east and short wave ridging builds in from the west. No updates planned at this time. && .AVIATION...Winds at the SLC terminal are expected to shift from southeast to northwest around 21-22Z then switch back to southeast between 02-03Z. However, there is a 20 percent chance that winds will remain southeast throughout the TAF period.

Scott's Crossbolt
Scott's Crossbolt - A tapered square bar, operated by the opening lever of a break-open side-by-side gun, passing transversely through the standing breech and a matching square hole in a rib extension; to strengthen the lock-up. The first example pictured above is augmented by a doll's head.
Greener's crossbolt operates similarly, but is round in cross-section.
A Kersten Lock operates on the same mechanical principle, but is more suitable for over/under or single shot guns.

Pop star Justin Bieber left his teens behind with a low-key family party to celebrate his 20th birthday on Saturday.
The singer has been keeping a low-profile in recent weeks after months of headline-grabbing antics ended in his arrest in Florida in January on suspicion of driving under the influence. He is also facing charges relating to the alleged assault of a chauffeur in Canada.
Bieber has moved away from Los Angeles to a rented home in Atlanta, Ga., while he tries to rebuild his reputation, and decided to forgo a wild party to mark turning 20 for a small gathering at his new property.
Pictures uploaded on Twitter.com show the singer blowing out candles on a modest cake, featuring the words 'Happy Birthday Bizzle.' Bieber recently adopted the name 'Bizzle' and even changed his user identity on Instagram.com to feature the new moniker.
love you my little bro.. happy birthday pic.twitter.com/ms5V39dSLL
— Johnny Shahidi (@john) March 1, 2014
His father Jeremy and his siblings Jazmyn and Jaxon were also in attendance at the party, with his dad tweeting, "Happy Birthday son. Wow 20!"
Bieber also tweeted his thanks to fans for their birthday messages, writing, "Thanks to everyone for all the birthday wishes. Means a lot. Blessed and hoping we can continue to change the world together."

The Hyundai Motor Company was founded in South Korea in 1967. In 1986, it began selling cars in the United States. In 2010 and 2011, Interbrands named Hyundai the fastest growing car brand worldwide. Hyundai partners with car dealers under a franchise agreement. Under this agreement, Hyundai approves certain dealers to sell Hyundai cars in exchange for fees. The dealers have to meet certain requirements established by Hyundai. If you would like to become a Hyundai car dealer, you'll need to meet these requirements and submit an application to Hyundai.
1. Open a car dealership and be in business at least two years. Hyundai requires dealers to have a successful track record for at least two years before they'll consider the dealership for a partnership with Hyundai. To open your dealership you must comply with your state, county and city's regulations regarding car dealership. Your dealership must be located in commercial zoning and must meet minimum space requirements. Your state might require you to put up a surety bond. For example, Virginia requires car dealers to have a $50,000 surety bond for the first three years in business. You might also have to undergo a background test and obtain a special dealer's license.
2. Recruit experienced sales staff. Hyundai wants evidence of an experienced and professional sales staff. If you become a Hyundai car dealer, your staff will represent Hyundai. Document each sales representative's sales record as well as any special awards or recognition they've received.
3. Register as a minority, woman-owned or disadvantaged enterprise, if any of these classifications apply to you. Hyundai actively looks for businesses that meet these classifications. You'll need to register and be certified with one of the following organizations: the U.S. Small Business Administration's 8(a) Business Development or Small Disadvantaged Business Certification Program; the Women's Business Enterprise National Council National Minority Supplier Development Council (through any of their regional councils); or the California Unified Certification Program. Hyundai will ask for proof of your certification.
4. Complete a Hyundai Sales and Service Application from the Hyundai website. You'll need to supply information about your car sales experience, financial condition, proposals for your Hyundai dealership, and bank and personal references. Hyundai looks for dealers with a strong financial history and substantial lines of credit.
5. Submit the Hyundai Sales and Service Application through email or postal mail. Include certification of minority status, information about employee awards or recognition, and any marketing materials for your current dealership.
6. Meet all Hyundai requirements for training, dealership signage and building standards. In 2010, Hyundai required dealers who wanted to carry the company's Equus model luxury car to remodel their showrooms to Hyundai's specifications, at the car dealer's expense.
7. Pay the required franchise fees and co-opt advertising fees. These fees vary depending on your location, the size of your dealership and other factors.
Things Needed
- Dealership location
- Surety bond
- Dealer's license
- Employee certification
- Minority, women-owned or disadvantaged business registration (if applicable)
- Company profile form
- Fees
- Working for another Hyundai dealer can help you learn the ins and outs of being a Hyundai car dealer.

The Kindness
Dark Fantasy,
Author's infos
Gender: female Age: N/A Location: N/A
Posted Thu 19th of August 2010
Uncle Rudy came to pay a kindness to Danni - her death would be easier at his hands.
The Kindness
It was the middle of a muggy hot afternoon that on the last day of her life Danni was paid a surprise visit by her Uncle Rudy at her family's summer house on the shores of Funeral Lake. Danni had been living at the lake house since her Father died in early May, at first to avoid her stepmother Claire, then once Claire had moved out to avoid the reminders of her Father that the big house held.
Danni missed Dad badly and felt very alone most of the time now. She had never got along with Claire and her cruelty, and now that Dad was gone there was no reason for either of them to even pretend to like each other.
Danni had gone for a walk in the morning down to the lake, then returned as the sun rose in the sky and the thermometer rose to higher degrees. It was just past noon and Danni already found herself clammy with sweat, her clothing sticking to her. She had used an elastic band to pull her hair up in a ponytail to try to stay a little cooler but her bangs still stuck to her sweat damp forehead. The air-conditioning in the lake house hadn't worked all summer and Danni was too uncomfortable to call Claire to ask her to have it repaired.
Danni had made the insufferable trip upstairs to her even hotter bedroom to get the novel she was reading from the bedside table and was surprised to hear the sound of ice tinkling from the game room as she descended the stairs. Cautiously peering around the corner into the game room, Danni saw Uncle Rudy mixing two drinks at the bar.
"Uncle Rudy?"
The man looked up and smiled.
"Hi, pumpkin."
Danni always found her Uncle Rudy's smile to be contagious and one that melted her heart. She hadn't seen Rudy since the funeral and ran to hug him tightly. She was full of hopeful questions; When did he get in? How long was he staying? How were things at home in Seattle? Rudy, shook his head and handed her one of the drinks with a wink – it was some sort of rum drink with coconut and pineapple juice. That was one of the reasons Danni loved Rudy – even though she still wasn't old enough to legally drink alcohol, Rudy had snuck her sips and drinks since she was 12.
"We need to talk, sweetheart." Rudy said as he lifted his own drink and led Danni by the hand to the big armchair in the corner furthest from the sliding glass door. Danni sat on the wide arm and Rudy sat in the chair.
"It sounds serious." said Danni, looking down at her Uncle.
Rudy wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her close to him and Danni slid into his lap like she did for as long as she could remember. Rudy was her Mom's brother and after her Mom died when Danni was only six, Rudy became one of two people Danni clung to for comfort. Rudy was second only to Dad in Danni's world.
"It's very serious, pumpkin." Rudy said softly, sipping then setting aside his drink so he could hold her in both his arms. "You know I love you with all my heart?"
"Of course." Danni answered.
"And I would do anything to protect you?" Danni nodded, setting her drink aside, growing worried. "But I'm just one man, Danni. There are some things I just can't stop."
"You're scaring me, Uncle Rudy." Danni said, snuggling in closer to him, reverting to that little girl who used to come for comfort and be welcomed into Rudy's strong arms. And like before, Rudy hugged her tightly and kissed her forehead.
"Do you know what Claire got in your Dad's will? Rudy asked. Danni nodded. "Well, she wants it all. Even the money held in trust for you."
"She can't have it, my lawyer said." Danni said, dreading the thought of having to go to court to defend the trust left to her by her Dad. "Is she going to sue me?"
"No. She's not that kind." Rudy answered, then; "Do you know the depths of how much Claire hates you?"
"A lot."
"More than you can imagine, sweetie." Rudy said and again kissed her lightly on the forehead. Danni felt Rudy's chest rise as he drew a deep breath then let it out slowly, "She wants you dead, Danni."
Danni lifted her head to look into Rudy's eyes and saw only seriousness there. "Serious?"
"Serious." Rudy replied.
"Then we need to call the police." Danni said, starting to rise, but Rudy pulled her back into his lap and hugged her again.
"You need to listen to me, pumpkin." Rudy said as he held her, then he lifted her chin and looked into her eyes, "Claire knows some very dangerous people. VERY dangerous. One of those people is a man known as the Turk. Claire has hired the Turk to kill you and to make it a horrible death. I've tried everything in my power, Danni, but Claire is going through with it. If I don't call her by a certain time today, the Turk will be here within minutes and ...."
"And what? Danni asked, gazing into Rudy's eyes, seeing sorrow and pity there – and something else she couldn't be sure of. Embarrassment? Shame? "Tell me, Uncle Rudy."
Rudy paused, then; "Claire wants you gutted alive, sweetheart." then responding to the puzzled look on Danni's face; "Cut from your ... sex ... to your sternum. Your insides pulled out. She wants you to suffer."
"Oh my god." Danni was breathless, thinking of the brutality, "I have to run, hide. Call the FBI or someone."
"It won't help, pumpkin. I'm sorry, but there is no escaping this. I've known Claire and her crowd for years. No one gets away. Ever."
"What am I going to do?" Danni gazed off, tears filling her eyes, fear making her belly feel like it was full of ice water.
Rudy hugged her close, holding her in a way that spoke of despair. "There is a way to avoid the Turk, but not the .... deed."
"How?" Danni was ashamed at how small and weak her voice sounded.
"I begged Claire to let me do it, so you didn't have to die the way the Turk will do it."
Danni gasped and sat up, searching Rudy's face, hoping that this was some sort of sick joke. "Danni, the Turk is a butcher." Rudy spoke softly but swiftly, "If I don't make that phone call he will find you. He's probably watching the house right now. He'll find you and he will torture you for hours. He will rape you and butcher you and make you suffer. you'll die alone with a psychopath as your only company."
Rudy swallowed hard and wiped away a tear in his own eye, "But if I do it, you'll be with someone who loves you ... someone who will make it as easy as I can.
Danni sobbed then and Rudy held her and rocked her. His heart broke for this sweet girl, a girl who had lost her Mom, then her Dad, and now was about to lose her life no matter what he did. Almost an hour passed as he held Danni. The afternoon grew hotter, the air still and muggy. Danni and Rudy felt overheated and were wet with sweat, their clothing clinging to them.
"It's not fair." Danni whispered at last, resigned to what was going happen to her, either by her Uncle or a murderer "There are so many things I haven't done."
"I know, baby." Rudy whispered, his lips close to her ear, his hands stroking her back. With his free hand, he dug five small red capsules out of his shirt pocket and placed them in her hand. Danni stared down at them as he picked up her now warm drink and held it out for her.
"Take these." he said, "They'll make it a little easier."
Danni stared at the capsules and took a deep shuddering breath. Then she popped them into her mouth and downed them with the sweet warm rum drink. Setting her drink aside, Danni wrapped her arms around Rudy's neck and hugged him close. She nuzzled against the crook of his neck, and as he held her, Rudy became aware that his little Danni had matured into a young woman. Her body smelled of musk and sweat – the clean sweat that comes from summer heat. Danni was never big on sun tanning and her accidental tan lines were exposed where her shorts had ridden up - He looked down at her pale inner thighs. The top few buttons on her blouse were open and he could see the milky white softness of the upper curve of her breasts. Rudy found it so easy to stroke lower ... to allow his hand to drift down her back to her hips, then onto the bare skin of her thighs. Danni didn't protest, just kept snuggling in tight.
God help me - Rudy thought as he stroked her thigh, working his hand to the underside near her bottom, feeling the impossible smoothness of her skin there. Still his niece stayed relaxed in his arms and it encouraged him further.
"Uncle Rudy?" she whispered so softly he barely heard her.
"Yes, pumpkin?"
"It's okay." Danni knew it was the pills that were letting her relax and do this. She knew how this would all end, and somehow it seemed alright.
Rudy brought his hand slowly around to the top of her knee and as he did, Danni shifted her weight and opened her thighs slightly. Rudy stroked down the inside of her thigh and as his hand neared her crotch he felt the moist heat radiating there. He stroked her inner thigh, closer and closer to her sex and as he did she reached up and unbuttoned her top slowly, one button at a time until the thin fabric opened like soft curtains and exposed her braless breasts.
Rudy lifted his hand and gently twirled her nipples, first one then the other. Danni closed her eyes, hanging her head, breathing deeply and slowly. Her nipples swelled and tightened.
Danni had been feeling her sexual desire growing as she nestled in Rudy's arms. It had begun once she accepted that what Rudy had said was true. She was confused that she felt sexual at the thought of a painful and perverse death, but there was a sensual nature to having it done by someone who cared about her. Plus for the last fifteen minutes she could feel Rudy's cock swelling under her thigh and that turned her on.
Danni whimpered as Rudy twirled her nipples, then moaned when he pinched one then the other and stroked her breasts. Her nipples felt electric and the tingle went through her belly right to the pit of her sex. Then Rudy had moved her and his lips were on her nipples, sucking, licking, making her tingle, making her flesh go all goosebumps and she felt his fingers fumble with the button and zipper of her shorts and felt those fingers sliding deep between her thighs.
As Rudy cupped her smooth sex and massaged, he felt her labia open and the clear mucus within flowed over his fingertips. "Sweetheart" he whispered as he slid two fingers inside her.
"Oh god" Danni moaned as she felt his fingers slide into her and hook inside her cunt and press up against her g-spot. It felt like the start of an orgasm, she felt her belly loosen and the sweet feelings began. Danni's head was spinning ... she felt her top slide off her shoulders ... then she felt Rudy lowering her onto her back on the floor and her shorts were sliding up her thighs and off ... somehow he was now naked also and she parted her thighs wide as he settled there, his cock touching her wetness. Then the too rare pressure and he slid inside her ... so deep.
Soon Danni was gasping as Rudy thrust and thrust and thrust, slamming her bottom down hard on the rough wooden floor, pinning her pelvis there with each pounding of his hard cock. Both of them were sweating hard now, their bellies slapping wetly as they fucked. She could feel the head of his cock impact her cervix, driving the force up into her uterus. Danni felt herself orgasm once, twice, then a third time. And suddenly she felt his cock swell and heard him groan loudly and spasm inside her, ramming deep – almost bruising her mound as his sweet cock jetted thick ropes of cum deep inside her body.
Danni lay on the floor with his weight on her, drenched in sweat, her skin shiny and slick with it ... feeling spent ... weak ... so very sleepy. She felt her leg being lifted, herself turned on her side and suddenly Rudy was lifting her, moving them back into the big chair and she found herself in his lap once more, his softening cock still inside her. She felt overheated, dizzy, and all she wanted was to lay back down and to sleep.
"It's time, pumpkin." Rudy murmured in her ear and she felt the hardness of steel touch the skin of her lower belly just above her mound. "no ... no ... no ... " she whispered, "not yet ... not yet"
"Shhhhhhhhh" Rudy hissed softly and pressed the knife inward, dimpling her skin.
Danni opened her eyes a slit and looked down, it was a type of knife she had never seen before, but she immediately understood that the curved tip of the knife was to hook inside her flat belly muscles. It was in fact known as a gut hook dressing knife and was used to gut deer.
Danni bit her lip as she watched the knife tip pressing firm, indenting the tight skin on her lower belly, the muscles there softened and loosened by the pills and her orgasms. She felt a sharp bite as the tip of the knife broke through skin and sunk through the thin layer of fat to press against the band of muscle there. Danni's mouth opened in a silent O and she looked up into Rudy's eyes.
"Tighten up, sweetie." Rudy said, stroking her arm as he kept the knife pressed firmly against her lower belly. Danni slowly clenched the muscles of her belly, feeling them press up against the knife tip, firming up – forming that tight flat band she got when she did sit-ups at the gym. The blood that had pooled in the dimple now flowed down over her mound and between her thighs. The tip started to penetrate muscle just as she squeezed Rudy's soft cock out of her cunt. Danni closed her eyes, surprised that the pain the knife was causing was somewhat sexual – a pin point of sensation so close to her g-spot.
Then the blade slid slowly through the muscle. Danny cried out and squeezed her thighs tight together. Rudy worked the blade into her, rocking it slowly back and forth, opening the slit wider and wider until the hook slipped inside her belly. Danni felt her toes curl as the steel moved inside her.
"... fuck ..." Danni gasped as Rudy tilted the handle upward toward her belly button and slipped the hook under that band of muscle.
"Relax now, pumpkin." Rudy whispered in her ear, hugging her to him, kissing her forehead where her bangs were plastered to the sweat of her fevered face. Danni felt herself start to tremble, but did her best to relax. She pressed her abdomen outward, forming a little pot belly and Rudy took that as a sign she was ready.
She wasn't.
Danni felt the pulling in her cunt as Rudy began working the knife ever so slowly upward, pulling the skin of her mound upward, tightening her crotch. She grit her teeth and buried her face against his sweaty chest, panting now, feeling her lower belly being split by the sharp hook of the gutting knife, the pain suddenly immense and climbing toward her belly button. She began to squirm on his lap, her left hand gripping the edge of the armchair, her right making a small fist that she pounded against her own thigh. Her belly alternatively pressed outward then tightened flat as the knife moved. Danni cried out wordlessly again, squeezing her thighs tight together and straightening her legs out, arching her back.
Rudy could no longer hold her as her body trembled and squirmed. He eased off the upward pressure of the knife and let her belly slip back, feeling how tense she was. He let go of the knife and saw that it stayed put, imbedded in her lower belly, halfway to her belly button.
"Shhhhh, sweetheart." Rudy whispered to her, "It's okay ... we'll rest a minute. Easy now, pumpkin" Rudy massaged her tight thighs and embraced her and was relieved that she snuggled back against his chest.
"... it hurts ..." Danni whimpered, her wet hot face against his chest once more. Rudy continued to make soothing sounds as he massaged her thighs until they relaxed and opened slightly. Rudy then brought one hand to her throat and the other to her inner thighs. He found her pulse in the carotid artery on the side of her throat – her heart was pounding. He stroked her bloody thighs then worked up to her sex, cupping her, massaging her. And he pressed the fingertips of his other hand into her throat, slowing the flow of blood to her brain.
Danni felt his sweet hand stroking her and loosening her sex once more and as he did it, the pain in her belly eased. When she felt his fingertips press in beside her windpipe, she thought at first he was going to strangle her, but as she felt the pressure increase there she felt herself calming further. Less blood going to her brain meant less panic ... less fear. Danni put her trust in Rudy and felt her body become loose and relaxed. She also became aware that Rudy's cock was now once again rock hard and pulsing between the slippery cheeks of her bottom, its head near her cunt once more. Danni opened her eyes and looked up into Rudy's eyes.
"I'm sorry, pumpkin." Rudy said softly, his cheeks burning.
Danni reached up and stroked his lips with a fingertip. "It's okay, Uncle Rudy." she whispered, then moved her pelvis, grimacing as a small sharp pain reminded her that the knife was still inside her. She reached between her thighs and guided his cock, not to her cunt, but to her anus. Something she always wanted to try, sometimes experimenting with her oily fingers. Danni gasped and opened her mouth, staring at nothing as she moved her body, guiding his cock through the crease of her bottom, slick with her mucus and his cum. She pressed it there, feeling her anus loosening, then feeling her body slip on his sweating thighs and his cock slid deep into her rectum, filling her.
"Oh god" Danni moaned and closed her eyes. Rudy slide two fingers into her cunt once more and hooked them so he massaged her g-spot again. The feelings inside her where her pelvis cradled her lower belly were sweet and warm. And in that moment, Danni felt that the knife was all part of it.
"Do it." she whispered, "Just do it ... and don't stop until it's over." She slid her hand between her thighs and over Rudy's and when he slipped his fingers out she slid hers in. She found that she could easily slide four fingers into her cunt – she'd never been able to get four in before – but now her cunt still felt loose enough to take more. She felt Rudy's hand slip from her throat and hug her tight once again and then his other hand was on the knife ... she felt it move and lift upward, and that pulling sensation resumed and the pressure resumed and she felt her belly slowly surrendering to the hook, opening ... opening.
"... hungghhhhhhh ..." Danni moaned as she felt her flesh below her belly button separating, opening ... she felt her large colon pressing upward, bulging from her lengthening slit. She slipped her fingers out of her cunt and slid her palm up over her mound. Danni encountered her bulging colon and cupped it with the intention of holding it inside herself. But when her hand slid over it she felt a quivery sensation flood her belly. Her eyes opened wide and she shuddered, taking a weak gasping series of breaths. She looked into Rudy's eyes.
Rudy studied her face, trying to imagine what she was feeling in that moment. With his free hand he reached around and stroked her bulging colon. Danni's eyes rolled back in her head and she moaned loudly, her own hand and Rudy's too stroking her protruding gut.
Danni was panting now, awash in a sea of sensation, her thighs working like she was slowly treading water. Rudy felt the gut hook catch on the underside of her belly button.
"This will be the worst part." Rudy whispered. Danni drew in a deep shuddering breath.
And as she exhaled, Rudy applied a slow firm upward pressure and felt her belly button resist the knife. Danni screamed and arched her back. Rudy kept the upward pressure constant as he tried to work the gut hook through the knot of scar tissue that was her belly button.
"... nnnnnggghhhaaaaa ..." Danny squirmed in Rudy's arms, panting now like a woman in labour, riding the pain and the amazing sensation of her belly being opened like a caught fish. The pressure in her belly from the hook pulling on her belly button was immense. Danni felt as though she would lose her mind as the hook pulled up hard, stretching her, pulling hard on her cunt. It felt like he was going to rip her core right out of her.
"... oh fuck! ..." Danni cried out gutturally, squeezing her thighs together and pressing her belly upward – Rudy was working the knife, rocking it, trying to split her belly button. She could feel her anus tighten on his cock.
"I'm sorry, pumpkin." Rudy moaned in her ear, "I shouldn't have tried it this way. We should stop and go around."
" ... no ..." Danni gasped, feeling a determination to complete this. There was a perverse sensuality to this act she was sharing with Rudy – she wanted to finish what they started. "... don't stop ... oh god, don't stop ..."
Danni felt Rudy's arm hug her tighter, and felt his right arm tense as he pulled upward even harder. Danni felt as though her cunt would be pulled from her body up through her belly as she gripped his right hand in both of hers, feeling his strength as he worked the blade. Danni clenched her teeth and hissed and felt Rudy pulling harder. She pressed her belly outward as best she could and felt the knife move slightly. Her mouth opened in a silent 'O' as she felt it splitting. Danni squeezed her eyes closed and kicked her heels against the chair. Then it happened – it was like a release of pressure as her belly button split and the hook slid up into her softer upper belly.
"... unghhh ..." Danni grunted and felt the tension leave her body as the knife moved easily through the thinner muscle above her belly button. With each passing second, Danni could feel her belly getting looser and opening. Once it was through her belly button she barely felt the slicing as the hook slit her all the way to her sternum.. As she shuddered and gasped, Rudy slipped the knife out and threw it, hearing it clatter across the floor. He then set to stroking her and kissing her, whispering "shhhhhhh" as she calmed.
She felt her insides shift as the muscles released their hold and now she looked down ...
Her belly was open from her mound to her sternum, her coils of intestines were shifting slowly and pressing up out of her, bulging like a knot of live snakes from within her. While she gazed at herself she saw and felt her colon slip upward and slide over the band of muscle and skin on her left side. Danni gagged, her tummy heaving at this large shift inside her.
Danni looked up into Rudy's eyes and saw pity there. "... Rudy ..." she whispered. Rudy's right hand returned to her colon and stroked it gently along its length. Dannie whimpered and quivered from the sensation.
"... I have to pee ..." she gasped and realized how ridiculous it sounded, but she did have to go. She felt Rudy's fingers slip inside her and massage her bladder. "... oh god ..." she cried out weakly.
"Let it go, pumpkin" Rudy whispered in her ear. So she did and felt the warm urine flowing out of her over her thighs to mix with blood and cum. Rudy pressed down on her bladder and the stream jetted for a moment then was done. Danni squirmed, shifting her weight, feeling his cock still imbedded in her rectum and relished the feeling of him still inside her. She swallowed hard and felt her intestines shift again, uncoiling and rolling up out through the widened slit in her belly. Then Rudy's hand was there, stroking them, sending ripples of sensation through their pink undulating coils.
Danni was relishing the sensations but was feeling weaker by the minute, she became aware of how much blood she had lost, working her thighs and feeling the clotting stickiness there. Suddenly something was slithering out of her belly.
Danni gasped and tensed for an instant then relaxed, Rudy was slowly pulling a length of intestine out of her belly toward her crotch. He turned it and pressed its coil against her cunt.
"Claire asked for this." he whispered to her as he pressed the coil inside her, "It won't hurt.". Danni opened her thighs wider, lost in the perversion of this act. Danni felt her cunt fill as Rudy pressed more and more of her intestine inside her.
Danni found herself panting and feeling like she could not get her breath. She was feeling weaker and weaker. Her fingertips started to tingle and grow numb.
"... Rudy?" she gasped.
"I know." he whispered reassuringly in her ear, "You're slipping away. Just let it happen, sweetie. Don't fight it."
Danni allow him to cradle her in his arms as his hand found its way back inside her belly, his hand exploring the slippery coils. She felt a quivery sensation at the back of her throat as he stroked the underside of her stomach sac. "... oh fuck ..." she gasped softly as her mouth started to water and she opened her lips, drool slipping down her chin. And Rudy stroked it more, cupping it and gently massaging and Danni felt her drink flow up her throat and over her tongue.
Danni became aware of Rudy moving under her, ass fucking her as she lay dying in his arms. He lifted her more into a sitting position as he ground his cock inside her and Danni felt the rest of her intestines slither out of her to puddle in her lap. Her stomach sac hung in her now empty upper belly like a heavy pendulum, pulling on her throat. She heard Rudy groan and felt his cock swelling inside her once more.
"... do it ... cum inside me ..." Danni managed to gasp. She felt him erupt in her rectum and heard him growl loudly as he orgasmed inside her again. And as he orgasmed, she found she couldn't keep her eyes open. The lids, so heavy, closed for the last time.
And she felt lighter.
All pain was gone.
And she was floating .. adrift ...
"I love you pumpkin" she heard Rudy's voice from far away.
... and then there was sleep ... blissful sleep ...
After a few moments, Rudy laid her body out the way Claire asked: on the floor, legs spread wide, belly opened. He found the plunger filled with bleach that he'd hidden beside the chair and injected half into her cunt – past the coil of intestine, then the other half into her loose anus. That should destroy the sperm, he thought to himself.
He washed himself and wiped his fingerprints off everything he touched before dressing and opening his cel phone. He hit a button and waited for the call to be answered.
"It's done." he said simply then hit end, walking out the open door and away from the girl who he had paid a kindness to.
The Turk would have been worse.

It's the novel as charades. You take a wacky one liner, extrapolate a crazy scenario and from there the delirium flows. How about a novel starring a libidinous but touching penguin, sidekick to a revolutionary crow called Charlie? The revolutionary crow could incite an animal revolution. The revolution could start in London zoo, then spread all over the world, then get hijacked by a Wildebeest called Scaramangus (Scary for short), who is dumb but populist, and sells out in the end, so that the animals finish up securing the kind of equality with humans that lets them become sales reps and production managers. The only power they acquire is purchasing power. All of a sudden this isn't just a crazy animal joke. It's a political satire.
Whatever it might look and sound like, Animal Planet is not a novel about animal rights. After the abortive London Zoo break-out the animals are auctioned off to local businessmen and community leaders: "You can't expect the public to keep on paying your bills forever, can you?" Scaramangus is shipped off to become a living corporate logo for an insurance company. Wanda the Gorilla goes to clean for a media couple on the Upper East side. The animals in this book are not really animals, they are a new underclass eager to participate in global society. They talk and wear clothes and drive cars and clean apartments.. This is a long way from Charlie the Crow's original dream of the animals living in a "self-sustaining, self governing, self determining community."
Animal Planet is full of set-pieces of satirical brilliance, strung onto a thread of high quality, hyper-alert writing that never lets up for a moment: "Before civilisation we never had time to realise how much we didn't have. Now we have all the time in the world to worry about what we'll never keep." "History began to blur. It stopped being something that happened and turned into something they couldn't quite remember."
. You could care about some of the characters, who are never muffled under the weight of all they represent, but I can't help feeling there's always something static about satire. However fantastic, it is dealing with problems which have already arisen, and the terms of whose solution are not the subject of invention so much as of the novelist's weary identification. We know what kind of world we have made, and we know the cynic who lays it before us is never going to do much more than tell us how dumb we are to have got into this mess.

Enjoying Manantiales in off-season
After a couple of bus rides we arrived to the wonderful quiet town of Manantiales where we visited Soli and Anita, old friends of Lane from Aspen! We had a fantastic time there meeting great people, eating delicious food and stand-up paddling on the atlantic ocean (for me more "sit-down" paddling because of the big waves ;-) ) Also we were lucky that it was off-season, otherwise we would not have had the beach just for ...
The Miami of Uruguay
... the photo, I can't believe no one has painted the nails). We then drove through the housing areas, er, neighborhoods of the rich. They love different kinds of roofs. Some houses have thatch roofs, some ceramic tiles, marble, etc. The area is very clean. Big houses with large yards. The houses aren't numbered like we do, they have names as you'll see in one of the photos. The next big tower we saw used to be a water tower, now its a hotel. You ...
Punte del Este: An Artist and Olive Oil.
... in too much resulting in me sucking half of it down my lungs! but I could certainly taste the spiciness in my throat and then felt the warm oil come back on my palette ,absolutely delicious.Clearing my mouth with water and cheese I was ready for the next one which this time I managed to do properly and I could feel the difference immediately in heaviness , warmth,taste and texture.Lorena followed this with allowing me to try three of the estates wines, a Sauvignon Blanc,Alberino and ...
Country number 6 - Uruguay!
... fun few hours ensued however I have to confess we weren't overly successful and have decided to aim for a lesson tomorrow. How many more times I will have to do the beginners surf lesson until ican stand up I do not know, but I'm not done trying yet! After indulging in fish and chips on the beach we're now back at the hotel chilling before dinner. We're heading up the coast tomorrow to la paloma, apparently a smaller surfing town but we'll let you know what we think.
Day 2 in Punta del Este
... Barra was a bit more subdued than Punta del Este. There are no fancy high-rises there, only small hotels, and many private residences. The latter seem to be mostly vacation retreats, and were shuttered for the off season, as were most of the places in Punta del Este. Juan Carlos had told us that, in the off season, the population of Punta del Este is only ~10,000 people, but in the peak season, January and February, it swells to over 500,000, and gets very crowded.

Skillsmart Retail and the National Skills Academy for Retail have teamed up with independent retailers and trade associations around the country to encourage the public to celebrate diversity on the high street and support their local, independent retailers on July 4.
Fresh data from Local Data Company's surveys of 2,700 UK retail destinations (out of a potential 4,400 total UK destinations), highlights that high street vacancy rates have started to rise again. The Local Data Company states that 14.6% of outlets are now vacant. This indicates that approximately 50,000 units are now not currently open to business on the UK high streets, showing just how challenging the situation is on the ground.
Nick Ludford Skills Adviser at Sussex Downs College said: "We fully support independent shops and encourage them that business success is built on a well trained workforce. Sussex Downs is a long established provider of skills and development training for businesses and their employees. I shall be in the Eastbourne area talking to local retailers to highlight the campaign and will be talking to them about how they can get involved."
Georgina Bauer from the Funky Viking in Grove Road, Eastbourne said: "As an independent retailer we offer something more personal to our customers. They really are valued and we strive to offer the best service we can with properly trained staff. Our apprentice is the only one in Eastbourne to reach the finals of Apprentice of The Year and we're really proud that as an independent retailer we are flying the flag in professionalism and quality. People can have misconceptions about independent shops, perhaps being more expensive than the big brands, but hopefully they'll pop in and see us on Independents Day and be pleasantly surprised!"
Anne Seaman, Chief Executive of Skillsmart Retail said: "We are delighted to lead this campaign and support small retailers. Raising awareness amongst the public is one of the biggest challenges smaller retailers face and our message is about encouraging the public to use their local high street and understand how important a diverse retail sector is.
"It's also essential that local retailers understand that to compete today they need to be top of their game. The time for sitting back has passed and action is required: Your high street needs you!"

John Lannan talks about his first start as a Phillies pitcher, he pitched very well -from CSNPhilly
The Opening Day pitcher, Cole Hamels, will get his first chance at impressing the hometown crowd this afternoon as he gets his second start of 2013 this afternoon.
Hamels, who opened the season in Atlanta, got behind in the game with the Braves as the Braves roughed him up with 3 HR and 5 runs scored in the 5.0 innings that he pitched in the first game of the season.
Cole is a lot better than that, and I expect that we'll see the better side of Cole today.
Note: Got a comment as to whether or not Cole has been an ace for the Phillies before, and of course he has been as ace. The headline pertained to whether or not Cole could show he was the ace of this 2013 team with the start today.
Here is how the NL East looks on Sunday morning:

Music education, it seems, is just plain good for you. In addition to recent research that suggests music training improves literacy, increases brain function, and leaves a lasting mark on the adult brain, a recent study out of Finland featured in the journal Music Education Research found that, even when controlled for gender, school music lessons for four hours a week, over time, left students feeling good about all aspects of school.
Researchers Päivi-Sisko Eerola and Tuomas Eerola looked at Finnish public schools that offered "extended music education," in which students had to test in by singing and showing reasonable music skills. According to the study, students who were in the extended music classes after three years of participation (grades 3 through 6) were happier with all aspects of school than those who took a standard music class (they did not indicate how often the regular music class met).
"The results suggest that studying music does provide measurable social benefits. In the comprehensive school, pupils in the classes with extended music education were generally more satisfied with school life than pupils in the classes with a normal music education curriculum," the researchers wrote.
The Eerolas point out that Finnish students had high test scores but low satisfaction scores, and school leaders responded by bringing in more "voluntary classes" like art and music to help students engage. Here in the U.S., many schools already recognize music classes as a priority for a variety of social and academic benefits, but hurdles like time and money keep schools from offering even elementary school students dedicated music class more than two times per week.
Some schools, however, are choosing to make music education a priority, finding creative ways to stretch both time and money to make daily music a reality. At the W.B. Travis Vanguard/Academy for the Talented and Gifted in Dallas, Texas, orchestra director Ken Hurst said that principal Mari Smith decided to make music a priority for students when the middle school opened 10 years ago. For students who choose instrumental music as an elective, classes are offered five days a week.
Hurst said that while most Texas schools secure a music budget from the state, music teachers still find they have to supplement: "Although most music directors resort to getting funding through fundraisers, PTA, grants, etcetera, almost all schools have some budget to provide for a music program," he said.
In another creative move to reach more students, Hurst also teaches introductory music to fourth-graders at a local elementary school, and provides assistance to the orchestra director at Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts.
Teaching at several schools and going out to get the extra funding in order to provide daily music education shows Hurst how important music is for the students. He cited a recent survey in Southwestern Musician showing Texas All State Band, Choir and Orchestra participants scored significantly higher on standardized tests, and were also ranked among the highest in their graduating classes.
"These music courses are electives, and not all students are required to take them," Hurst said. "However, the fact that many students take music courses in band, choir, and orchestra would indicate that these students are enjoying that experience. I believe that most of them realize that the study of music enriches their lives in ways that nothing else can."
Hurst said he'd heard about the Finnish study from a colleague. "I'm very interested in and intrigued by studies and research into the ways that music influences our lives intellectually and emotionally," he said. "I think it would be wise for leaders in our educational systems to attempt to better understand the potential benefits of the study of music and to take that a step even further, adopt teaching strategies of the best music programs to teaching of the core subjects."
At John Swett Elementary in Martinez, Calif., principal Adam Welcome said he's grateful to have a credentialed music teacher, and three solid hours of music per week for every student. Welcome is committed to building John Swett's music program, and that has meant getting creative — both in finances and in scheduling.
In order to squeeze in enough time for both music and physical education, said Welcome, they have done something a bit out of the ordinary by combining the two. The result is a kind of dance class with instruments that the kids love. "In order to reach first through fifth grade — five hundred kids and one music teacher — on a weekly basis, on Wednesdays we do PE (dance) and music together," he said. The combination class takes place in the cafeteria, and the curriculum includes both ballroom and country dancing. "Our music teacher uses tons of drums and equipment for music and dancing. I came from a different district, and I've never seen a program like this before," he added. "It's pretty unique."
Welcome said the school has also integrated their 1:1 laptop program into music class, where kids are writing beats and rhythms as well as creating podcasts and recordings. And to help get their new band program off the ground, the school used Donors Choose and secured a $35,000 grant for instruments.
For Welcome, squeezing in as much music as possible is a top priority at John Swett, since much of modern schooling has to fall in line with standardized testing and what he calls "fill-in-the-blank." Welcome said he is aiming to educate the whole child, and that definitely includes music.
"There is a very small population of my kids who get an instrument other than the radio," he said. "Kids may not be exposed to it [music education] otherwise."

Weekend Cat Blogging 7
If you would like to be included, just leave me a comment with your permalink! and add a "weekend cat blogging" tag to your post!
Today, I was standing in the laundry when, BOOF! Kiri Jumped on my shoulder from a meter away! Yikes. He sat on my shoulder and my head shook with the purrs that were rumbling out of his chest. He gave me a huge smooch. Oh, he is so sweet. I pulled him off my shoulder, and looked at him. I rolled him on to his stomach and measured him against my arm. When we first got him he fit into the palm of my hand, now half of his body hangs off. Where did my little kitten go? He is still such a sweet boy, he waits for us and demands a "smooch session" when we come home. He jumps up on my lap when I am on the computer for "hugs". For "hugs" he puts his paws on my chest and rubs his face angainst mine numerous times, purring the whole time, then puts both paws on my right shoulder and rubs his head against my neck. It sure make you feel special!
I decided to show you some pictures where he is much smaller..... and probably tomorrow I will post some pictures with him now. I hope you enjoy seeing just how little he used to be!
Check out Alley cat and her toys at Masak-Masak
Check out the cats in residence at tigers and strawberries

Oh Clare, those picutres are absolutely adorable. Kiri was just about the cutest little kitten there ever was. And his "hugging" and "smooching" is too precious. Wherever did you find him? Oh wait a minute. No real cat does all that stuff (hugging, sweater wearing, kayaking) He's probably a cyber cat you built from some of your spare parts. . . : )
Posted by farmgirl - 7/23/2005 09:22:00 AM
No he is just the best kitty ever! But I spent alot of time with him too. I think being an indoor only cat makes him want to spend more time with us as well.
Posted by clare eats - 7/23/2005 11:52:00 AM
Aw, Kiri sounds incredible! He can hug and smooch you. Kits does something like that paw thing on the chest to ask me to come nearer but he doesn't really smooch like Kiri.
I've posted up my entry and it's all about Ally Cat.
Have a great weekend!

Hey Clare,
Just wanted to let you know your tigers & strawberries link goes to masak masak. . . : )
P.S. So how do I add a "weekend cat blogging tag?"
Posted by farmgirl - 7/24/2005 12:37:00 AM
Hi Farmgrl!!!
oops! How did that happen??? I will change it ASAP. I must have had the wrong post in the clipboard!
Add the technorati tag like this
[weekend cat blogging]
you don't have to though... I am just experimenting ;)
Posted by clare eats - 7/24/2005 12:45:00 AM
Me again. Not trying to nitpick, but just wanted to let you know Alley cat is a "she." :)
Okay, since I don't even know what a clipboard is, let alone a technorati tag, I think I"ll just skip that part (but I told other people to do it). Sheesh! WCB is complicated this weekend! :)
Posted by farmgirl - 7/24/2005 01:02:00 AM
Gee I knew I was tired... but that tired??? I think it was a "royal" his ..
www.technorati.com :) http://www.technorati.com/help/tags.html

A Cybercat for CyberGirl--Farmgirl, you're too funny! But CyberCat is just too appropriate. Clare, I'm not a cat person but Kiri IS such a cutie, and so tiny in those pictures.

Thanks :-) I seem to forget the cat blogging every weekend :-)
Posted by Dagmar - 7/25/2005 06:18:00 AM
I won't be figuring out that technorati tag thing for another few days, but meantime, The Cat has decided that she deserves her own weekend photo, especially after the dog's recent computer adventures. It's not a pretty sight this time around: she was one angry kitty when I snapped the pic.
Posted by mrs D - 7/25/2005 07:00:00 AM
Hi Clare - I just visited Dagmar's site and found out about this sweet event :) I know it's too late (or too early?) but I've just posted a picture of my cat without knowing it. Can I send the link later?
Kiri is so adorable, my cat was that small when we got him too...

Just had a brief chat with genetic scientist, Craig Venter, after his presentation at this morning's TED session, entitled What Is Life? He laid down a challenge: "I don't want to be known as the Gene King any more!" So we'll be chatting more post-conference to delve deeper into his latest proposition, the development of synthetic cells — and their impact on developing the fourth generation of designer fuels.
It'll be tough to get people thinking beyond Venter in terms of genetics. After all, he's best known as the man who led the team that sequenced the human genome, back in 1995, and he published a complete diploid genome — the newest stage in human genome sequencing, in September 2007. He's a true pioneer in genomic research.
But Venter has a point, and now is the time to talk about his work and research in terms practicalities. As he put it, earlier experiments such as corn to ethanol or sugar to higher value fuels such as octane or butanol simply haven't worked.
"The only way we think biology can have major impact — without increasing the cost of food or limiting its availability — is to start with carbon dioxide as a feedstock," he said in his talk. Natural photosynthesis, in other words, simply doesn't cut it....
From Agence France-Presse:
Famed geneticist creating life form that turns CO2 to fuel
Geneticist Craig Venter disclosed his potentially world-changing "fourth-generation fuel" project at an elite Technology, Entertainment and Design conference in Monterey, California.
"We have modest goals of replacing the whole petrochemical industry and becoming a major source of energy," Venter told an audience that included global warming fighter Al Gore and Google co-founder Larry Page.
"We think we will have fourth-generation fuels in about 18 months, with CO2 as the fuel stock.">>>MORE

Photos of post-liberation Korea
GIs were also photographed entering the town of Songdo, being led by a firetruck filled with local reporters...
...while being greeted by those watching the impromptu parade.
Photos were also taken of refugees "celebrating release from slavery in factories and returning to their farms," such as the one below and this one.
Other photos show buildings, such as the one below, decorated with signs welcoming soldiers and "displaying flags of occupying forces and portraits of the leaders of Allied countries" (note the use of the 'c' in Corea).
Some well known buildings, like the YMCA, also had such signs; Seoul Station apparently did not.
After signing the Japanese surrender, US troops disarmed Japanese troops before sending them home.
No doubt the Korean onlookers here were happy to see them go.
Seeing as a river is in the background, and the photo below shows the Hangang Rail Bridge at far left, the soldiers are likely walking across the present Hangang Bridge.
Of course, the Americans weren't the only troops who had entered Korea. Below is a photo of Russian troops (where exactly, I don't know):
Below is a photo of Russian and American soldiers gathering around a US jeep while Koreans watch.
Several photos, such as the one below, show the US soldiers and Russians interacting. The Americans seem especially taken with the female Russian soldier.
Other photos from this time period can be found here and here.

Nothing really related to your post, but I was really surprised to find out that a French Foreign Military Squad served in S.Korea's side too. I discovered it while I was living in Suwon, as there was a big monument dedicated to the French. This was never mentionned in history classes in France, as far as I remember.
The photos are great. - Sun Apr 17, 03:44:00 AM

One-Dollar Coffee Wednesdays at 7-Eleven
$1 coffee
Flickr/Dashan Karlan
Java junkies rejoice. For those unwilling to fork out more than a buck for caffeine, 7-Eleven is selling coffee for only $1. The promotion is only on Wednesdays and lasts until the end of January.
That means any size cup and all the sugar, flavorings, topping and cream you can possibly want are included in that price. The promotion was put in place to celebrate the convenience store's new Brazilian Dark Roast, a premium blend coffee made from 100 percent Arabica beans from southwestern Brazil.
Other blends (also $1) include butter toffee, blueberry and 100% Colombian. 7-Eleven was actually the first U.S. retailer to offer fresh-brewed coffee in to-go cups back in the mid-1960s. Today, 7-Eleven sells more than 1 million cups of freshly brewed per day.
