After the police officer left, showing himself to the door twenty feet away, Tim brought the plates over to the table.
"What are we having today, bro?" Kevin asked, already picking up his fork to dig in. "Is this a new recipe?"
"Um... no, it was one that Chelsae used to make. I found it in some of her things today." Tim sat down and also picked up his napkin, placing it in his lap, before picking up his fork.
Kevin hesitated with a forkfull right at his mouth, then put it in and began to chew. After all, a mouthful of food would keep him from having to actually respond to his little brother.
Not even having taken a bite, Tim knew that he was stalling. " Come on, Kev! We have to talk about this. We have to get past all of this!"
Kevin took a longer swig of his beer this time and cleared his throat. "This is good. I do not remember her making this one." He paused and took a cleansing breath. "Tim, I know you want to talk about Chelsae. But I am still having a really hard time dealing with her death. I thought you wanted to talk about something else, and that is why I cam etonight. My wife is always trying to get me to talk about her, too, and that is not how I want to spend my evening away from home. Let's just skip it, ok."
Tim did not answer, but sullenly and silently began eating his food. Chelsae was Kevin's twin sister, but had been a role model to them both. She had taken care of Tim when their parents died and he was only fifteen. Kevin and his wife alwaus joked that he was soft and genteel because Chelsae had smothered him, even though she was only four years older than him. Two months ago Chelsae had been killed in a car accident by a drunk driver. While Tim sought closure and relief from the pain, Kevin had clammed up and refused to be involved in wrapping up the affairs. He had been spending a lot of time with Tim, but it appeared to be more out of duty that they were all they had left.
"Well, there was something else I wanted to talk to you about." Tim tried to change the subject, knowing that they could not spend the whole meal in silence. But Kevin went back to the Chelsae topic and spoke with a great deal of emotion.
"Look, Timmy, I am sorry that this has been so difficult, but I just do not know how to deal with it. She was my twin, and yet she spent so much time with you. Now that she is gone, I have lsot some of my identity. That is all I can tell you. I do not want to help you go through her things. If you need money or somethign to help pay for her stuff, let me know. Just give me the dollar amount. [My wife] will help you with any paperwork. I am sure she will give you a hand while the baby is sleeping or something. -Maybe she is the one you should be inviting over to dinner for this stuff." Kevin's rant had started sincere enough, but had turned a little bitter. He was once again shoveling the food in his mouth, trying to avoid further conversatioin.
Tim ate slowly, considering what Kevin had said. For some reason he knew that he should leave the subject alone, despite how much he just wanted to get everything in the open and taken care of. He did not mind doing it all himself, but Kevin was his big brother, and he wanted to make sure that they were open with each other. Respectfully, however, he took a few more bites and went back to the 'other' subject.
"Actually, bro, I was wanting to talk to you about the girl that was in the accident, Christine Jennings."
"You know her name?" Kevin asked around a mouth full of food.
Tim blushed slightly, "Yes- I heard them use it in the ambulance. Anyway, I went to see her. In the hospital. I... I just felt like it was the right thing to do."
Kevin had stopped eating for a second, then took a drink of beer to wash it down. He got up and went to the fridge for a bottle of water and returned to the table. "Why on earth would you do something like that?" He raised his eybrows as he gulped down the watre.
Tim squirmed a little. "Well, that is why i wanted to talk to you. It is her fault that the guy is hurt, right? But it was an accident. I... I was wondering if you wouldn't mind representing her?"
Kevin gave a short laugh. "What? First of all, I am just a paralegal. Second, Tim... ! I just do not even know how to explain this. Ok, I helped the guy that she hit. If anyone, I should probably be helping out the kid that was hit. I mean... Jeez, Tim, what do you expect? People call lawyers for help. I can not... No. No, Tim, get this out of your head. We got helped for this Christine girl, and for the kid that got hit. Ok? That is as far as we need to be involved. You have no idea what the details of the case are. There is a cop snooping around, checking out stories- do not you think that there is some trouble hiding in there? I am not going to get involved, and neither should you."
Tim looked down at his plate, chewing on his lip. "Yeah, okay, you are right. I just think that Christine is-"
"No! No 'I think Christine'... Get it out of your head, little bro. Do NOT get involved."
"Alright." Tim replied quietly, getting up to take his plate to the kitchen. He had not finished his dinner, but he was suddenly not hungry in the least. Kevin, in turn, sighed heavily, knowing that Tim was now out of sorts and it was not only his fault, but it was ultimatley his new responsibility to make sure that Time would be okay. They were, after all, the only family they had left. Frustrated with the chain of thoughts haunting him, he stood up.
"Look, I am going to go ahead and go home. I am sorry taht I cannot stay and help you clean up. I just need to go home and think right now. Like I said, call [my wife] if you want some help with the stuff for... Chelsae." He hesitated at her name, still uncomfortable with talking about her now that she was gone.
"Okay. See ya later." Tim did not turn to look at his brother before he left, but continued to clean up as he heard his brother grab his jacket on the way out the door and and leave.

Japanese taxpayers have been warned that their new World Cup stadiums will continue to cost them billions of yen.
Many municipalities admit the stadiums will be underused. They have begun considering everything from wedding ceremonies to theme parks as a means of utilising the £2bn facilities, many of which will rarely ever be filled for football again.
"We have a big worry about the 10 stadiums," said Seishi Yoda, a finance director of the Japanese Football Association.
Insiders fear that the three football-only venues - in Saitama, Kobe and Ibaraki - may have to be converted to other purposes to generate revenue.
"There are calls to modify the football-only stadiums so that they can stage events such as the National Sports Meet," Yoda admitted. "But once the facilities are modified, there is a danger that they will no longer be international standard for football. Then what do we do?"
In Miyagi, officials say that the stadium will stage only one J-League game in the rest of the year. The only other major event planned is a concert by the boy band SMAP in September. Income is expected to cover only about a fifth of the stadium's 280m yen (£1.5m) annual running cost.
"With the World Cup over, we are putting all our effort into promotion of the stadium," said Kazue Oizumi of the Miyagi city office. "We will make a loss, but profit isn't a priority. This is a public resource. But we would like it to be used and loved more."

Dana, Wadi Mujib & Jordan Wrap up
... a small price and two of the staff there were Filipinos so I got to chat a lot with them. Alas the poor souls are quite overworked by the boss and it made me a little bit uncomfortable. They have been working there for years but didn't seem very happy there, we made sure we gave them a tip (when the boss wasn't looking so he couldn 't take it away from them) to thank them for their hard work and the wonderful food they prepared for us!

Are We On the King's Highway, Yet?
Our plan from this point had been to drive the King's Highway from Karak, south to another Crusader castle at Shobak, and then further along the highway into the town of Wadi Musa, where Petra is located. I'd made this drive many times before, yet I placed too much trust in our GPS, which was a little unfortunate. There are two roads which run north-south in Jordan, between the port city of Aqaba on the Red Sea, and Amman. The King's Highway is ancient -- it's the ...

The Jurgen Klinsmann era begins for the U.S. men's national team on Wednesday and while many of the players the new U.S. coach has called in are familiar faces, there is still plenty of mystery about what Klinsmann's first lineup will look like.
Some regulars like Clint Dempsey and Jozy Altidore won't be making the trip to Philadelphia, while Tim Howard and Landon Donovan are among the first-choice players who will be in attendance.
As for how the rest of the squad will look like? That becomes a tougher proposition to decipher.
Here is the squad we can see Klinsmann trotting out onto the field at Lincoln Financial on Wednesday night:
Projected USA Lineup vs. Mexico
Some quick thoughts on this lineup:
You would imagine Klinsmann will want to start a defense that is familiar with each other. This back four has played together before so it makes the most sense, though I'll acknowledge that Tim Ream has been struggling and could be the odd man out here.
Edgar Castillo could start on the left, but so could Brek Shea. Don't see Klinsmann using Donovan on the left. DaMarcus Beasley is another intriguing option.
Freddy Adu gets the start here but could easily wind up on the bench seeing as how he's not currently with a team training regularly. In retrospect, you could see Donovan in that position, with one of the many wingers on the roster sliding onto the right wing.
Agudelo gets the nod, though Edson Buddle could definitely merit a look. Agudelo has been very hit and miss in MLS play, and wasn't an overwhelming hit at the Gold Cup either.
What do you think of this lineup? Who are you hoping gets the start for the USA against Mexico?
Share your thoughts below.
well, did you watch the first half vs. Spain recently? Edu-Jones wasn't good, and I like both players. yet how about the 2nd half once MB entered?
I'd like to see others tried out there too, but not because MB is not deserving of his spot. on Torres, he has technical abilities, but he covers WAY less ground and though he has improved defensively, he plays in a league in which the middle third is rarely contested, a tactic that is simply not acceptable at the international level. And I like Paco a LOT!
I was actually casting some bait for the pro Holden crowd that likes to label him as a CAM. Im with you…I think Torres is more of a Xavi type player as opposed to the typical Iniesta CAM. Please…these are just comparisons to the positions players are asked to play and not comparing actual players so dont hate me haha.
With that said, I think that beckerman is someone that could also play that role. He plays the touch game so well and can give you a nice through ball occasionally spraying balls left and right as well as up the middle. He will also give you some bite in the middle.
if he isnt an attackin CM, then what would u call him Danny???
Seeing how we haven't had much production from the strikers recently, This is something I would like to see
let the front four roam on offense, but maintain this shape on defense. This will bracket castillo with experienced cover and I think shea's physical traits and technically abilities make him one of the most intriguing options at our always weak #9 and put donovan and adu in support positions that they are best suited for.
"if Adu looks sharp in camp he will start, if not, he won't. I do think BB sometimes used the USMNT to help players find jobs (one player in particular) and think that is wrong. The team should come first and should not be used as a promotional tool for certain players."
Very short sighted and misguided on your part.
How do you expect Freddy to look sharp in camp if he doesn't have a club?
Using Adu as an example, if Freddy can't find a club it will be impossible for the USMNT to get him enough practice and playing time to stay sharp and fit.
If Klinsmann believes Freddy has a role going forward with the USMNT then it is in the TEAM'S best interests to try and do what they can to help him get a club. If that means playing him in a "meaningless friendly" then so be it.
They are called exhibitions for a reason. Such games are used to evaluate players and tactics so you don't always play what you believe to be you very best eleven to start. Otherwise, what would be the point?
Your moral indignation seems misplaced. Save it for a situation that demands real outrage.
And this did not orginate with Bradley or Klinsmann. Many other national team managers have done it.
Justa Guy
I'm not too concerned with winning this match. I'm concerned with (1) developing talent–to get to be international caliber you need to caps–and (2) seeing different combinations of players in different positions.
I'd love to see Hamid play this match.
In my mind, the jury is still out on Ream. Give him a few more caps to see if he gets to the level needed.
At some point soon, we need to face the fact that Cherundolo and Bocanegra will need to be replaced before 2014, and think about getting others some playing time in their places.
I am excited about Adu in the center. Right MF is the best place for Donovan.

Janel Tigan
this wiki
Janel Tigan was an unjoined Trill, the older brother of Ezri Dax and Norvo Tigan, and the son of Yanas Tigan.
By 2375, estrangement from his family, in particular his mother, had driven Janel and his brother into criminal activity and they found themselves associated with the Orion Syndicate.
Under the pressure of that association, specifically Thadial Bokar, and the continued deterioration of their family life, Janel and Norvo were complicit in the murder of Morica Bilby, a friend of Miles O'Brien and the widow of an operative of the Syndicate. Because her husband had died on an assignment for the Syndicate, the organization's leadership said that she needed to be provided for. To that end, her name was added to the Tigan family business's payroll as a "shipping consultant" with no actual work involved. Morica kept pressuring the brothers for more money to maintain her silence. In the end, Norvo killed her.
Ezri ultimately uncovered her family's ties to the Syndicate and their role in the crime, helping to bring them to justice despite the pain it brought to the family. Ezri urged her brother to leave the family business behind and a find a new life elsewhere, promising him he'd be be happier somewhere else. (DS9: "Prodigal Daughter")

Oregon Historical County Records Guide
Lincoln County Records Inventory
Probate Registers
Series records the actions taken by the county's probate court. Information includes case numbers, estate or deceased's name, administrator's or executor's name, dates and types of papers filed, and memoranda and court orders listed by dates of appointment of administrator or executor. Series may also be referred to as probate journals, dockets, or records of actions. Over the years probate jurisdiction has been transferred from the county court to the circuit court in most counties. However, the county courts in Gilliam, Grant, Harney, Malheur, Sherman, and Wheeler Counties continue to hear probate cases. In 1986 circuit courts with probate jurisdiction began recording basic case information in the Oregon Judicial Information Network (OJIN). This network functionally replaced probate dockets and journals previously maintained by the courts. The transition to full use of OJIN by all circuit courts in Oregon took approximately two years. Portions of these records may be restricted.
Probate case information included in the Oregon eCourt Case Information Network (OECI) electronic records system since March 2015 is not maintained in paper or microfilm.

New York Medical Center of Queens, Flushing, NY
PURPOSE: Patients with End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) are often admitted to the Medical Intensive Care Unit (MICU). To date, little data is available on this cohort with regards to their outcomes.
METHODS: This is a retrospective study of ESRD patients on chronic hemodialysis admitted to a 12-bed MICU in a community hospital between January 1, 2004 and September 30, 2007. Data on admission to the MICU, hospital course and outcomes was collected; 30-day mortality was used as the primary outcome of this study.
RESULTS: 37 patients with ESRD (Table 1) were admitted to the MICU during this period. The most common admitting diagnosis was sepsis –17 (46%) followed by respiratory failure –13 (35%) and gastrointestinal bleeding –4 (11%). Vasopressors were required in 14 (38%) patients and 21 (57%) patients required mechanical ventilation. Continuous veno-venous hemodialysis was instituted on 8 patients, 22 patients were on hemodialysis and 7 patients were on both modalities. Significant acidosis (pH <7.20) was recorded in 7 cases and lactic acidosis (>4.0mmol/L) in 8 patients. Overall 30-day mortality was 59% (22 patients) with a mean ICU length of stay for survivors at 5.3 days. In groups of patients requiring vasopressors, mortality was 86% and 62% in those requiring MV; patients on vasopressor and mechanical ventilation had a mortality of 91%. The highest mortality risk was in patients diagnosed with sepsis on mechanical ventilation and vasopressors –100% (Table 2).
CONCLUSION: This cohort of patients has a high mortality rate in the ICU. The presence of sepsis in the setting of hemodynamic instability and respiratory support carries a very poor prognosis. Other factors of poor outcome identified include significant acidosis, lactic acidosis, hypoalbuminemia (<3.0g/dL) and hyperphosphatemia (>5.5mmol/L).
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: ESRD patients may require a lower threshold for ICU admission, especially with a clinical diagnosis of sepsis. More studies on a larger scale would be required on this cohort to validate these findings.

Sir Elton John has reignited his public love-in with Pope Francis, describing the pontiff as his "hero".
Speaking his annual AIDS benefit in New York on Tuesday night, he praised Paul Francis for pushing for an acceptance of homosexuality within the Catholic church.
"He is a compassionate, loving man who wants everybody to be included in the love of God," he said.
"It is formidable what he is trying to do against many, many people in the church.
"He is courageous and he is fearless, and that's what we need in the world today."
"Make this man a saint now, OK?" he concluded triumphantly.

True to Sir Elton's word, Pope Francis has indeed adopted a more welcoming approach to homosexuality than previous leaders of the Catholic church.
He was named gay rights magazine The Avocate's Person of the Year in December 2013, and appeared on the front cover next to his famous quote: "If someone is gay and seeks the Lord with good will, who am I to judge?"
He was also named Man of the Year in the Italian edition of Vanity Fair, for which Sir Elton lent his support.
"Francis is a miracle of humility in an era of vanity," Sir Elton wrote in an accompanying tribute.
"His beacon of hope will bring more light than any advancement of science, because no drug has the power of love."
However, the pontiff's history of supporting gay rights hasn't always been so revolutionary.
Pope Francis stridently opposed same-sex marriage and fought against laws being passed to allow it when he was the archbishop of Buenos Aires.
"Let's not be naïve: This is not a simple political struggle, but an attempt to destroy God's plan," he said in Argentina of same-sex marriage in 2010.
"It is not just a bill but a move of the Father of Lies, who seeks to confuse and deceive the children of God."
Sir Elton's continued honouring comes as Pope Francis gave merit to Darwin's theory of evolution and the Big Bang theory.
"When we read about Creation in Genesis, we run the risk of imagining God was a magician, with a magic wand able to do everything. But that is not so," Pope Francis explained at the Pontifical Academy of Sciences this week.
"He created human beings and let them develop according to the internal laws that he gave to each one so they would reach their fulfilment.
"The Big Bang, which today we hold to be the origin of the world, does not contradict the intervention of the divine creator but, rather, requires it.
"Evolution in nature is not inconsistent with the notion of creation, because evolution requires the creation of beings that evolve."Reuse content

Its been awhile, Its seems more of struggle of to keep the blog updated these days than I remember even thou, I've painted close to a dozen figures , finished the castle and built this since the last update.
this from the "project files" on the Hirst Arts website, a Timber or "Half Timber" building depending on what molds you used, for this I used mainly molds #224 and #225, with #260 for the floors, a few 1/4 planks from the original wood panel mold #220 and the Chimney and Fireplace from the old small brick mold. 250
MS AUS mdf , and GW buildings with original hirst pieces as scalewise many of them are too small, but I just dont think I have the room on the table, I was thinking about the Mill and Blacksmith shoppe but we will see.
This overall took longer than I thought, since I had everything cast I was thinking I could build this is an afternoon and a couple evenings but with drying times assembly painting, the roof and other details I think is a solid 12 hours project. next up, already finished figures and more finished blackbarrow and hopefully some Frostgrave and sooner than another 6 weeks!

i still will remainMature
this is going to be my mourning. my beauty from pain. I won't lose my faith through this. I refuse to.
It's a tragedy they say.
A horrible mistake.
But really it's not.
It's quite easy to find someone to place a blame.
So easy to blame yourself.
Its tearing me up, going through the skin straight to the bone.
I just want to rip my heart out, give it up.
The tears won't stop coming.
I don't have enough mental energy to do anything but sit around.
Wasting my life away.
It's a tragedy to lose someone to suicide.
A horrible shame.
How do you even go on?
Will my faith survive through this battle?

Recruited by virtually every program in the SEC as well as Purdue, Michigan, North Carolina and the University of Southern California, Kayci said she loves the playing style of the 'Dores and attended a number of games last season. Kayci considered scholarship offers from Georgia, Purdue and Tennessee Tech. Legal guardian Glenna Edmonds, who made the announcement with her husband Jeffrey, said her niece made it clear early on that she had narrowed her choices.
During her official visit to Vanderbilt, Kayci was warmly welcomed by the team and coaching staff. "The girls and coaches made me feel right at home. I looked at it, and I thought, 'I can see myself here.'"
NCAA rules prohibit coaches from commenting on any recruit until she signs a National Letter of Intent in November.

Catalytic Converter Replacement Options
Alright so I believe that my cat conv is going out due to a rattling sound comging from the inside. This has been going on for a while, I have been procrastinating the situation. So my question is what is my best option in your opinion? I know that aftermarket cat converters wont pass visual smog. I dont see myself paying a vast amount to a dealership because I'm a college student and I dont have much to spend. Should I try to go to a jeep wrecking yard? They seem like theyd charge a lot for them though. I checked to see if Napa could do anything but he basically said I need to go to a dealership to get one. Any help would be extremely appreciated. Also I live near Sacramento if that helps.
Just get yourself a aftermarket 50 state legal one. Make sure it comes with a c.a.r.b. number plate and sticker. Then your good to go.
Any specific one recommended? Im just cautious about it.
Bam! Clicky vvvvv
Enter info needed and it will give you what's legit for you down in sac-town.
Thanks buddy! I put in my info and its only coming up with 4.0L Are they the same as the 2.5L? And theres one for front and one for the rear? I thought there was only one haha
1 Attachment(s)
Does yours have 2 cats?
My 04 2.4 only has 1.
If yours has 1 just get one for the 97. "Should" be the same. Lol
Attachment 197480
When my CAT took a dump on me a couple of years ago I replaced it with one from the "4WD Store" it was $119 delivered. Its Cal legal C.A.R.B certified and a direct fit replacement ....hope that helps and saves u some doe!
Don't bother looking for them in wrecking yards, the CARB (Calif. Air Resources Board) has made it illegal for a licensed auto recycling/wrecking yard to sell anything like used cats or exhaust systems with cats in them. :mad:

U.S. natgas futures slide 2 pct in quiet post-holiday trade
* Front month remains above recent four-month spot low * Above-normal temperatures still on tap for both coasts * Nuclear plant outages continue above average By Eileen Houlihan NEW YORK, July 5 (Reuters) - U.S. natural gas futures fell more than 2 percent early on Friday in quiet post-holiday trade despite above-normal nuclear power plant outages and forecasts for heat in consuming regions in the Northeast in the coming days. Traders said many offices remained shut on Friday or had skeleton crews after closing on Thursday for the U.S. Independence Day holiday. Milder weather in consuming regions and healthy inventories should help limit near-term gains, traders said, despite a slew of 90 degree (Fahrenheit) temperatures expected for key Northeast cities over the next few days that should stir demand for air conditioning. As of 9:18 a.m. EDT (1318 GMT), front-month August natural gas futures on the New York Mercantile Exchange were at $3.601 per million British thermal units, down 8.9 cents, or more than 2 percent. The contract rose in the prior three sessions, boosted by the hotter weather outlook. The latest National Weather Service six- to 10-day forecast, issued on Thursday, called for above-normal temperatures for about the western third of the nation and along much of the East Coast, with normal or below-normal readings in the middle of the nation. Wednesday's gas storage report from the U.S. Energy Information Administration, issued a day early this week due to the holiday on Thursday, showed total domestic inventories rose last week by 72 billion cubic feet, in line with Reuters poll estimates for a 71 bcf build and the five-year average build of 71 bcf for that week. Total gas inventories at 2.605 trillion cubic feet are about 16 percent below last year's record high level, but only 1 percent below the five-year average level. Early injection estimates for next week's storage report range from 82 bcf to 102 bcf, versus a 34 bcf build during the same week last year and a five-year average increase for that week of 74 bcf. Nuclear plant outages on Friday totaled 5,800 megawatts, or 6 percent of U.S. capacity, even with Wednesday's outages, down from 9,300 MW out a year ago, but up from a five-year average outage rate of 4,900 MW. Baker Hughes data on Wednesday, also issued early this week due to the holiday, showed the gas drilling rig count rose for a second straight week, gaining 2 to 355, after posting an 18-year low of 349 three weeks ago.

Vince Russo: A Re-Written Career
Disclaimer: Oh boy this is going to be fun. I Crossfire will openly praise and DEFEND Vince Russo online and point out the hilarious double and triple standards people have against this poor hard working man. I mean a few weeks ago I talked about revisionist history when it comes to TNA's existence but with Vince Russo his entire career has been REWRITTEN to points of absurdity. Here is the actual truth:
Vince Russo is the Reason WWE is Still in Existence
The first of many things involving Vince Russo that gets distorted by fantasy and lies to smear Vince Russo's genius and excellent writing ability. In 1996, the WWE was on life support. They were going nowhere fast under the vision of Vince McMahon's idea of a wrestling federation: that being one white meat babyface overcoming the odds every single month and doing so because of the strength of his fans. (sound very WWE 2012) Before Russo took over and saved WWE, the show was being written by Jim Ross and Jim Cornette (that's where Cornette's jealousy of Russo begins).
McMahon saw WCW sprinting further and further away from him and needed to make a change so he took the two Jim's out of lead creative roles and gave Russo the reigns. Russo jumped at the opportunity and he started doing an edgier show. It did help that Austin had just started his meteoric rise around the same time as Russo took over. Russo managed to keep McMahon's vision but put a darker spin on it as Stone Cold Steve Austin was NEVER the white meat super good guy face that McMahon liked to build his show around, he was a heel that the fans just loved.
Russo putting Stone Cold in various situations made Austin look like the coolest Badass on the planet and made Austin a must see attraction. In 3 short years under Russo's vision, WWE went from a distant second to WCW to being the clear cut number 1 wrestling fed on the planet and having a stranglehold on dominating the Monday Night War. A Jim Cornette led WWE would've led to WCW still being in business and Vince McMahon probably living in an insane asylum nowadays.
Rewritten Vince Russo History: Austin saved the WWE and would've done so without the need of Vince Russo stealing ideas from Paul Heyman in ECW to do so. The WWE did good in spite of Russo's writing. If it wasn't for Vince Mcmahon "filtering" Russo, it would've been an utter disaster. Look at all the swerves that didn't pan out (more on that joke of an argument in a minute), look at all that lack of wrestling, the heel/face switches yada yada yada despite the fact all this led to ratings getting larger and larger and larger
Some of Vince Russo's Biggest Swerves Were Genius or Not Really His Fault
The Deadly Games Tournament in 1998 was a Russo masterpiece and I mean that in a good way. The buildup to the show was about breaking The Rock's spirit so he'd have to give in to Vince Mcmahon in order to succeed in the WWF. (he used this template with Hardy in 2010 but all those "smart" online fans never made that connection since they really don't have a clue about anything really) Once we got to the show, Vince had The Rock in his back pocket and just needed to ensure The Rock making it to the finals. The nightstick being intercepted by the Rock to get the pin "in spite of McMahon", the Chokeslam by Kane (future Corporate member) on The Rock got rid of the Undertaker and put Rock in the Finals. Along the way McMahon screwed Austin out of the title yet again to continue Stone Cold's 8 month odyssey to the title at WM 15.
The Finals effectively made The Rock the biggest prick heel on the planet and considering how in 99, face Rock played second fiddle to Austin it kind of proved that turning Rock heel at 1998's Survivor Series was the right move to help Rock stand out over Austin. Amazingly people trash this because they view it as a swerve for the sake of it, but if they took the time to actually look at what Russo did it was quite ingenious.
The "failed" swerve at St. Valentine's Day Massacre 1999 was a stroke of genius again because Vince promised no Corporate interference but everyone watching in early 1999 knew that McMahon had an ace in the hole to screw Austin. (turned out to be the Big Show) The reveal that Paul Bearer was Kane's father doesn't make sense at all given the story that was told but guess what that was the point: Kane in 1998 wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed and Bearer needed an opening to get back in WWF after getting exiled due to the Kane/Taker alliance that Summer so conning Kane into believing he was Kane's father was his way back in and that was a way for Bearer to regain Kane's trust.
Now the failed swerve in WWF I'll talk about is the Higher Power storyline that got over EIGHT MILLION VIEWERS IN MAY and JUNE of 1999. Russo's job was simple make the Higher Power storyline interesting and Vince Mcmahon will get you a guy to play the part. As evident by the ratings, Russo did his part. Vince McMahon didn't deliver Mick Foley as the higher power, he didn't deliver Jake "The Snake" Roberts as the higher power, he didn't give Russo anyone to use and so they went with Vince McMahon himself thus ruining the angle. People blame Russo for this despite the fact that he did his job and McMahon didn't do his. Real history should lay the blame at the feet of Vince McMahon but in the rewritten history it was Russo's and only Russo's fault.
I'm not saying Russo hasn't had failed swerves that would be insane because when you write 15+ years of TV, you'll have a few duds here and there (the Slammivarsary 2009 one might be his worst swerve ever). I mean not every Seinfeld episode was gold, not every Simpson's episode is gold but Vince Russo isn't as hit or miss as the online rewriters would like to have you believe because a lot of them either have a grudge against Russo or they weren't even around to actually see these events unfold live and in person.
Vince Russo not Being a Fan of Actual Wrestling
That is a real-life ideology Russo has and honestly who can blame him. No one was watching the WWF in 1998 because of the actual wrestling. That couldn't have been the case even if Russo wanted it to be that way because WWF didn't have the talent at that time, that's why WWF TV in 1998 was so epically great and their ppvs stunk. When it came time to actually wrestle, the WWF didn't have what it took to get the job done. Not with a near handicapped Stone Cold, a very green Rock and HHH, an Undertaker that didn't become the wrestler he would a decade later, a Kane who was and always has been a decent wrestler at best.
In 1998 the best wrestler on the WWF's roster was Owen Hart, the second best might've been X-Pac or it might've been D'lo Brown or it was one of those guys in KaienTai. Point is, the WWF would've died if Russo booked the show the way the IWC wants him to because the actual wrestlers didn't show up in WWF until 2000 and that's when Russo was long gone.
It's very tough for a guy to change his ideology and to be honest everywhere he went the ratings have increased when he booked the show that way. If he had Benoit, Jericho (for more than 2 months), Tazz, Malenko, Guerrero, Kurt Angle, HHH (at his peak in 2000), Brock Lesnar, RVD and Rey Mysterio then maybe he'd have used them the same way that Paul Heyman used most of these guys in 2002-2004. Who knows but he simply didn't have the wrestlers to use as a way to hook in viewers so he put the wrestling aside and made the show all about storylines and characters much to the chagrin of online smarks.
Vince Russo Isn't The Reason WCW Died
One of my favorite rewritten parts of Russo's career. He was entering a job that was all set up for failure, I am sure Russo probably knew that but he was a bit cocky, he was arrogant and rightfully so considering the overwhelming success he had in the WWF at that time. WCW execs or Time Warner execs whoever paid his salary gave him a king's ransom and expected huge results that were just not realistic. (The IWC still has that problem with TNA) The WWF wasn't getting any weaker and they got an amazing influx of talent at the start of 2000 which came from Russo's new employer WCW.
With bosses who didn't understand wrestling, big name talent not playing ball because the previous regime didn't exactly plan long-term and the talent he had being unhappy or jumping ship to WWF, WCW was on death's door with or without Russo. Russo didn't speed up the process of WCW's demise, if anything he halted it because ratings for WCW in 2000 went up.
He did a lot of good in WCW and a lot of bad in WCW but that's what happens when your desperately trying anything to regain market share going up against a company with the better name talent, better undercard and just better everything. If anyone thinks putting the title on Arquette was Russo's idea then you're an idiot. It was all politics and Russo's hands were tied. Vince Russo didn't kill WCW, if anything he did all he can to save that sinking company but he was simply no match for the WWF and the stars they had (which were made with the help of Russo himself)
Vince Russo's Tenure in TNA was a Success
Yep, you're reading that correctly. Vince Russo's tenure(s) in TNA was a success. He was a part of the early TNA years where they got themselves established as an indy fed that might become a major player. Then he left and TNA "got really good" before it got "really bad" when he came back. That's more Revisionist TNA history especially when now with Hogan and Bischoff there they are getting the Russo treatment. When he came back to TNA, the viewership numbers still had not hit a million yet.
In his 5+ years during his second run, he booked the shows that DOUBLED viewership numbers from around 800,000 to 1.6 million viewers weekly (1.8+ million if you count DVR). The rewriters of Russo's career can try and dismiss this all they want but that is your opinion (and prerogative) while these numbers are FACTS set in stone. In a time period where WWE has lost a million viewers in those 5 years, TNA's viewership in that time increased by the same million viewers WWE lost.
Opinions Can't Cover Up Cold Hard Concrete Facts
Pundits can claim that if Paul "my claim to fame is booking HOF Pro wrestlers that fell in my lap on Smackdown 10 years ago" Heyman was booking TNA; they'd be in legit/direct competition with WWE. Pundits can claim that Jim "I'm a smart booker damn it despite failing everywhere I've been" Cornette would've made TNA direct/legit completion with WWE today. It's simply fantasy as there is no basis for the claim other than blind love of these guys or blind hate of Russo.
Here is the reality: Every single place Vince Russo went, viewership numbers increased and in this business where ratings are all important that's kind of a big FACT that can't be dismissed. Though it has because of a personal vendetta against this poor guy who is just doing his job and judging by the numbers he has been successful at it. Now he is gone and it's a shame that once again his success in TNA will be ignored: If over time TNA's ratings increase it will be because of the new regime and if the ratings tank (and it has recently) then it will because Russo "screwed" things up so damn much that the new regime had no chance of success.
Adios Vince Russo, I wish you the best in all your future endeavours

Arctic Monkeys, "Brick By Brick." Following his pseudo-desert sessions with Josh Homme in 2009, Alex Turner's mischievous attitude and piquant witticisms were filtered through 40 years of lo-fi psychedelica and impassioned classic-rock posturing to create Humbug, Arctic Monkeys' hitherto magnum opus. The group has entered musical puberty of sorts, then, with the forthcoming Suck It and See promising a more "vintage sound." On the teaser "Brick By Brick," Sheffield's poet laureate writes about feeling love and rock n' roll with a decidedly vintage flavor, recalling Jim Morrison one minute and a fresh-out-of-university Damon Albarn the next. Musically, it may lack the mystique of Humbug's doom-and-gloom desert rock, and the lyrics are more matter of fact than Turner's usually punchy prose, but "Brick By Brick" is a promising first piece in Arctic Monkeys' "vintage" jigsaw. Huw Jones
Lady Gaga, "Born This Way (Country Road Version)." Released as a gift to her Twitter followers, Lady Gaga's "Born This Way (Country Roads Version)" is one of the few genuine surprises the pop icon has offered of late, now that her attempts at provocation have become somewhat rote and predictable. Did anyone anticipate that world's biggest pop star would use a remix of her current dance-floor anthem as an opportunity to interpret contemporary country music? Though the country version of "Born This Way" is as problematic as its original incarnation, the production here is the selling point: Its thundering percussion lines, aggressive harmonica runs, and heavy electric guitar riffs all play out as an accurate assessment of how so much of modern country sounds, while the energy, message, and POV remain definitively and distinctly Gaga.

Panda Bear, "Surfer's Hymn." The best Panda Bear songs tend to evoke idealistic beach scenarios: friends huddled around fire pits, nervous first kisses on a pier, seagull formations disappearing into the horizon. But as anyone who has ever wasted an evening at one can attest, public beaches are hardly that romantic. With its busy swirls of tropical percussion and helium-pitched backing vocals, "Surfer's Hymn," the fourth and final advance single from Panda Bear's much-anticipated Tomboy, offers a more realistic beach scene: the sweaty disorientation one feels after hours of searching for an unoccupied patch of sand inside a maze of folding chairs, empty lotion canisters, and volleyball nets. Menacing gurgles and hisses churn underneath the song's woozy melody, while samples of collapsing waves suggest the dizzy aftermath of a Corona commercial. Jaymie Baxley

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
Hi everyone, my husband is looking for a place in the Edinburgh Marathon if someone can't do it and is having to pull out he would take their place and pay any fee due for it.
He missed out the last 2yrs due to illness as he had a tumour in his lung and had to get the bottom third of his lung removed and was hoping to make his come back this year but missed the cut off.
If anyone can help, can you let me know.
thanks Michelle
You'll have to get to the back of the queue - the forum has been awash with people wanting an Edinburgh place because they didn't get their act together and enter in time.
Wouldn't it have been prudent to have applied anyway, just in case?
If he couldn't run in the end, he could then have transferred the place to someone else.
Thanks Redjeep, some people are great at saying things, but unless you are in the position he was in, then you never would know what you would do. He was waiting on the all-clear and wants to do it to prove to himself he can still cut it, although in a very much slower time than he has completed it in previous years.
Thanks Emmy and Minni. Will keep an eye on things. He wanted to do Edinburgh as he has completed 2 Edinburgh marathons. He looked at Loch Ness, but it takes place 3 days after we come back from 2 weeks in Turkey.
Hi Michelle! Emmy H kindly shared your post. Just today I made a hard decision not to run Edinburgh this year as I've overcommitted myself with studying and work and starting my own business. I've ran the race past 2 years and have loved it both times.
As I've explained in my post, I'm not looking to make any money from selling my entry, I would just like to make back what I paid (which was £44 for early bird entry). There will be another £10 transfer fee that you'd have to pay to organisers when you accept the transfer.
If your husband is happy to take my place drop me an email (firstname.lastname@example.com) or give me a call tomorrow 07716269914.
My husband will gladly take your place in the marathon. I will get him to give you a call in the morning to sort out the details and arrange to get the entrance fee to you. Thanks again. I wiil get him to email you tonight.
Will do Minni, he is happy that he is getting the chance to run now.
Minni, we stay in Glasgow, but he likes the Edinburgh Marathon. Ran twice before and ran 3:50:00 and 3:52:00. If he gets anywhere near 4:20:00 then i will be a great achievement.

Get Your Tagline Right
Powerful, expressive, meaningful—is your association's tagline everything it should be?
The message that arguably costs associations the most agony in terms of ratio of time spent to length of message is the organizational tagline. Take a moment to think about yours: Is it memorable? Does it capture the essence of your organization?
"It's always harder to write something shorter than longer, and your tagline is as short as it gets. It is the absolute essence of your association's messaging," says Nancy E. Schwartz of Nancy Schwartz and Company and Getting Attention, a nonprofit communications blog. "Your steps in the tagline development process build the insight you'll need to craft a potent positioning statement and key messages or talking points (the other two elements in your message platform)."
If you'd like some tagline inspiration, consider the following taglines, winners in the 2009 Getting Attention Nonprofit Tagline Awards. The 13 winning taglines were selected from a group of 60 finalists through the votes of nonprofit professionals and others interested in nonprofit taglines. Here are a few examples of the winning ones:
- Send a Net. Save a Life. —Nothing But Nets
- Because the Earth Needs a Good Lawyer. —Earth Justice
- Big Sky. Big Land. Big History. —Montana Historical Society
- Nothing Stops a Bullet Like a Job. —Homeboy Industries
Visit the Getting Attention blog for the full list of winners and a report on strengthening nonprofit taglines. You can also read more about the keys to good taglines in "What Makes a Strong Tagline Work?" from the December 2009 issue of ASAE & The Center's Communication News e-newsletter.

limping with ace rags suited?
I know limping is bad, but I think hands like A3, A7 suited are like
small pocket pairs. I would rather get in the pot as cheaply as
possible. The hand is vulnerable, and its only strong if I hit my
suited cards so I dont want to build a pot and get called by pocket
pairs and Ax with higher kicker. If someone raises behind me,
depending on the opponent and the pot size, I may call or fold.
I want more people in the pot because if I hit a good or great flop, I
have a big hand. With more people in the pot, theres more chance I
get paid off by a straight, smaller flush or trips or something.
From the button or CO I will vary play and may open raise.
It seems to work at microstakes. Probably should just fold at higher levels.
i find suited Ax, and suited connectors in general, to be way overrated by the average player. in terms of implied odds they are so much worse than small pairs, especially out of position, which is where you'll usually be if you're limping in early positions. that's because draws are inherently tough to play OOP and with these hands you are going to flop draws far far more than you're going to flop made flushes or straights. it is extremely hard to flop a flush compared to flopping a set. and even when you do manage that, it doesn't even tend to pay off as much as sets do. not to mention pairing your A or rag leaves you in an uncertain situation where you're often going to be folding to the first bet anyway, or calling 1 bet and then having no idea where you are on later streets
they're fine hands to steal and make plays with, they offer some cool backup equity and draws that allow you to be aggressive in spots where you otherwise wouldn't. but as hands to play fit or fold with for implied odds, they're not very good imo
I love Axs, if you got 2-3 limpers behind you go ahead and get in the pot. Lately I've taken a real liking towards hands that have high implied odds and are relatively easy to play. I don't know if I'd call a raise with Axs, but in order to win $ you got to see flops and it doesn't make much sense to raise that hand at the micros when you're given a chance to see the flop cheaply and with 4-6 other players.
re: Poker & limping with ace rags suited?
raise everything, limp nothing, if someone is betting then 3bet, is someone 3bets then 4bet.
You will always win and never lose.
edit: just read what I wrote and I think that is actually a losing strategy, but still dont limp: if you want to limp, bet. If you dont want to bet fold. If its good enough for a limp its good enough for a raise.
if there is 4 or 5 people that all limped in front of you then your getting the right odds to call. i play 5nl rush it works out a decent amount cuz other limpers have small pp's most of time and if they hit their set they will stack off even with 3 to a flush out there
re: Poker & limping with ace rags suited?
I suppose isolate, punish limpers, steal limped pot, or some other terms apply better.
So why not do those, since we cant squeeze a limped pot?
I've found suited Ax to be unprofitable in EP at almost all stakes. In LP they can be profitable and yes I certainly limp behind with them in some situations and raise them in others. Calling a raise with them is going to be another matter altogether, you need to be very good postflop to do it profitably.
The problem with them in EP is that you will flop draws or very weak one-pair hands so often and people who have you beat will charge you/not pay you off when you hit...or they have your top pair/weak kicker beat and you pay them off. Or they bluff you with second pair and you don't know wtf to do.
In position everything is better, if there is heavy action on an A-high board you can get away from it. In multiway pots they do pay off handsomely because everyone is playing suited cards in limped pots and you'll win huge pots when you make the nuts vs. their 8-high flush.
blanko wins. Generally if you're playing SCs/Axs for pure fit or fold equity you'll be losing. Look it up in HEM/PT yourself. If you're playing it to be able to put pressure on people, bluff raise a ton of flops, take advantage of backdoor draws, and all that cool stuff that's when it has the most value. Also think about what other players can do when you're only limping small pairs/Axs. If you never have strong hands in your range they can raise your limps with impunity and you can't do anything unless you start limping strong hands too and that ends up being -ev just for the sake of balancing a play which probably is -ev anyway. So yeah just raise or fold and generally at the micros with Axs just fold in EP.
If they flop a set and you flop four to a flush they're ~35% to make a full house, and you're ~35% to make a flush.
If they flop middle set and you flop bottom pair and top pair, you are stacking off and only have 9% or so to make the winning fullhouse.
This hand gains a lot of equity when the flop comes with top pair and four to a flush, but I never want to run into a set on the flop ever. If I have Ah3h and my opponent has AdKd and the flop comes As9h5h, and we stack off on this street, I still have my nine cards to draw to a flush, and my three remaining threes to hit, not to mention a running straight, which just guestimating would put me somewhere at a little better than a coinflip to get there, providing I don't get counterfeitted or my opponent doesn't improve to top two.
All these hands are coming from behind, except the flopped flush which isn't going to get action, barring high PP's out of position, sets (which are very live) and maybe the occaisonal misplayed two pair.
Limping with AXs and flopping top two pair or the nut flush = no action (as you hold all the cards that are worth calling a bet with) and your villain(s) don't, because the flop hit you, not them.
On the flip-side, I have seen a lot of fair pots dragged in in some interesting 3-way flopped flushes (the odds of that are SLIM!), but overall your action is too likely to be dead on a hand that you come up on.
So much so that you won't get called by somebody you're not ahead of, and even then, they're still very, very live (barring a flopped flush where they have something like one pair, a smaller flush with no straight flush draw, etc, or your ace pairs killing their pocket kings or whatever...)
Overall I'd say it's a losing move to limp with this hand. If you want to raise with it from position, then c-bet with it and try to win the pot before showdown. If you ever get looked up your table image is going to take a dive, so keep that in mind too.
Basically if you're playing hands like A3hh flop comes 972r one being a heart. Villain bets you should be comfortable raising. If the thought of raising on this flop with this hand never even crossed your mind I can pretty much guarantee you are not profiting by playing these hands. You can't just be playing for combo draws/2pair+. If you're getting aggressive with backdoor draws and barreling a lot and putting pressure on people when you flop/turn equity that's when you can probably play them profitably. And it's extremely hard to do this and rep strong hands when you just limp preflop.
What about all the cases where you get limps raised or raises reraised? Call and miss what do you do since you are acting first? You call hoping to hit a 4-5 flush? You reraise and get called and are out of position. You call the raise and now someone else goes all-in with their probably medium pocket what do you do then? Everyone limps and there is an A on the flop but someone probably with a better Ax starts calling you down? You'd have to be too lucky to consistently limp or raise weak A's like A3s from early position at a full 9-10 person table.
My biggest argument against Ax being like small pocket pairs is that your weak aces are much harder to play post flop. After the flop you know if you have a set, over pair, the board is above you, and what kind of players are in the hand with you.
You advocated limping with AK, why would anyone ever listen to you again???
re: Poker & limping with ace rags suited?
March AK.JPG
B) No one limps AQ behind you after you limp AK.
C) Even if that did happen, most non-shitty players won't stack (or allow you to stack) top pair when the SPR is like a trillion.
D) I'm on a huge downswing right now at about -3bb/100 and my AK winnings are still higher than yours.
Yea, limping with Ax hands is generally pretty bad. Sometimes i will do it if they are suited and there are a bunch of limps in front of me and I am CO or BTN and don't want to raise preflop as I will be playing a huge pot mutiway most likely.

Conjugated and Multimethylene-Interrupted Polyenoic
Two types of fatty acids are considered here - those with conjugated double bond systems, and those in which the double bonds are separated by two or more methylene groups. Related fatty acids from plant systems may have acetylenic bonds or oxygenated groups, and these will be considered elsewhere. Similarly, the eicosanoids and hydroperoxides, which can also have conjugated double bond systems, are discussed in other documents.
Conjugated Fatty Acids from Animal Tissues
Fatty acids with conjugated diene systems are found in tissues of ruminant animals, and thence in meat and dairy products, where it is formed as an intermediate or by-product in the biohydrogenation of linoleic acid by microorganisms in the rumen. The main isomer, 9-cis,11-trans-octadecadienoic acid, amounts to about 1% of the fatty acids of milk fat, and it may be accompanied by a small proportion of positional and geometrical isomers (6,8- to 12,14-18:2).
An analogous fatty acid derived from α-linolenic acid, 9-cis,11-trans,15-cis-octadecatrienoic acid, is usually detected at trace levels only in ruminant tissues.
There is considerable interest in conjugated linoleic acid ('CLA') at present because of reports that it has a number of beneficial medical properties, especially anti-cancer effects. It is also claimed to have anti-atherosclerosis effects, to help the immune system and to affect energy metabolism, promoting protein deposition as opposed to fat (see our web-pages on CLA). The material sold as a nutritional supplement is produced by alkaline isomerization of linoleate-rich oils, and consists of equimolar amounts of 9c,11t- and 10t,12c-18:2, together with variable amounts of positional and geometrical isomers. The CLA isomers can undergo chain elongation and desaturation as described in our web pages on polyunsaturated fatty acids, eventually to form analogues of arachidonic acid with a conjugated double bond system. Although the rate of this reaction is low, it is possible that the metabolites could have biological activity. Shorter-chain metabolites of CLA are found in tissues as a result of beta-oxidation.
Although most of the conjugated fatty acids in animal tissues are probably derived from rumen micro-organisms via meat and dairy products, there is a possibility that some may be produced by intestinal microorganisms, even in humans. Some synthesis within the organs such as the liver of animals appears to occur also. Thus, trans-7,cis-9-octadecadienoate is synthesised endogenously from trans-7-18:1 by means of a Δ9-desaturase in dairy cows, while 9c,11t-18:2 is produced similarly in human tissues by desaturation of trans-11-octadecenoate (vaccenic acid) from the diet.
A short-chain conjugated fatty acid, 2-trans,4-trans-hexadienoic (sorbic) acid, is a characteristic component of aphid triacylglycerols, where it is found exclusively in position sn-2.
Conjugated Fatty Acids from Plants
trans-10,trans-12-Octadecadienoic acid comprises about 10% of the seed oil of Chilopsis linearis and appears to be the only long-chain conjugated dienoic fatty acid from plant sources, although trans-2,cis-4-decadienoic acid is present in estolide linkage to an allenic hydroxy acid in Stillingia oil. Conjugated dienoic fatty acids in refined oils are mainly artefacts of processing.
In contrast, fatty acids with conjugated triene systems have been found in a large number of different plant species. Of these, 9-cis,11-trans,13-trans-octadecatrienoic (α-eleostearic) acid is the most widespread and best known. Tung oil is the main commercial source.
Other geometrical isomers of this fatty acid are found in seed oils, and include 9-cis,11-trans,13-cis- and 9-trans,11-trans,13-cis-octadecatrienoic acids ('punicic' and 'catalpic' acids, respectively). The first is found in the seed oil from pomegranate and related species, and the latter from Catalpa ovata. Two 8,10,12-18:3 isomers are known, i.e. 8t,10t,12c-18:3 ('calendic' acid) from marigold seeds (Calendula officinalis), and 8c,10t,12c-18:3 from Jacaranda seeds.
Rhizobium bacteria interact with leguminous plants in a host-specific manner to form nitrogen-fixing root nodules, and an unusual C18 tetraenoic fatty acid with three double bonds in conjugation, trans-2,trans-4,trans-6,cis-11-octadecatetraenoic acid, is a key component of the signalling mechanism.
A conjugated tetraenoic acid, 9-cis,11-trans,13-trans,15-cis-octadecatetraenoic or 'α-parinaric' acid, is a major constituent of seed oils from Parinarium and Impatiens species. Further unusual fatty acids with four conjugated double bonds in addition to methylene-interrupted double bonds are produced by some marine algae (e.g. 4Z,7Z,9E,11E,13Z,16Z,19Z-docosaheptaenoic acid).
All conjugated tri-and tetraenoic acids isomerize readily to the all-trans or beta-forms, which are more stable thermodynamically, especially in the presence of alkali or on heating.
Calendic acid (8t,10t,12c-18:3) is synthesised in Calendula officinalis from linoleate (9c,12c-18:2) by an unusual Δ12-oleate desaturase (a FAD 2 variant) that converts the cis-double bond in position 9 to a trans,trans-conjugated double bond system (8t,10t). It appears that the site of the initial hydrogen abstraction is at C-11 rather than C-12 as a result of a small change only in the position of the iron oxidant at the active centre of the enzyme relative to the substrate.
Similarly, punicic acid is synthesised in plants from linoleate by a related desaturase that converts the cis-double bond in position 12 to a trans,cis-conjugated double bond system (11t,13c).
There is increasing interest in the potential health-giving properties of conjugated trienoic fatty acids for which studies in vitro and in vivo have demonstrated anti-inflammatory, anti-obesity, immuno-modulatory and anti-carcinogenic activities, as well as improvements to cardiovascular health.
Bis- and Polymethylene-Interrupted Unsaturated Fatty Acids from Animal Tissues
The primitive animals the sponges (family Spongillidae) and some other marine invertebrates are known to contain a wide range of distinctive fatty acids, the demospongic acids, with bis-methylene-interrupted cis-double bonds, and ranging in chain length from C16 to C34. These have a cis,cis-dienoic system, either with the double bonds in positions 5 and 9, or derived from a 5,9-16:2 fatty acid by chain elongation. The latter is usually a relatively minor component of sponges, and was first reported from the cellular slime mould Dictyostelium discoideum.
Homologous fatty acids from 5,9-16:2 to 5,9-34:2, both odd and even-numbered, can be found in a single species of sponge. Similarly, 5,9-16:2, 7,11-18:2, 9,13-20:2 and so forth to 23,27-34:2, which are presumably formed by sequential chain-elongation of 5,9-16:2, have been found in one species. In addition, related fatty acids occur with a methyl branch, often in the iso- or anteiso-position but also located more centrally (e.g. 22-methyl-5,9-28:2), and multi-branched (isoprenoid) demospongic fatty acids have been found in at least one freshwater species. Similar fatty acids have been identified in many other marine invertebrates, including nudibranchs, limpets, sea anemones and gorgonians.
One trienoic fatty acid with in effect two bis-methylene-interrupted double bond systems, i.e. 5,9,13-20:3, has been found in sponges and other marine invertebrates, but most trienoic demospongic acids have one bis-methylene-interrupted double bond system with the third double bond in the n-7 or n-9 positions (e.g. 5,9,25-32:3). Some tetraenoic demospongic acids have two bis-methylene-interrupted double bond systems that are widely separated (e.g. 5,9,21,25-32:4). The most unusual is (all Z)-34S-methylhexatriaconta-5,9,12,15,18,21-hexaenoic acid, which is present in syriacin, a strange sulfated ceramide glycoside from the freshwater sponge Ephydatia syriaca.
Although the double bonds are normally of the cis configuration, a series of trans,trans-5,9-dienoic fatty acids was isolated from the sponge Plakortis halichondroides. Also, 5c,9c,19t-26:3 constituted 10% of the fatty acids from a freshwater sponge, and related fatty acids have been found in the brittle starfish.
More than a hundred different fatty acids can be found in a single species of sponge. Most are derived from the microflora and fauna that make up the food chain, but the demospongic acids are certainly synthesised de novo by sponges. Thus, in the sponge Microciona prolifera, it has been demonstrated that 16:0 is elongated to the 26:0 fatty acid, which is then desaturated by Δ5 and Δ9 desaturases to form 5-26:1 and 9-26:1 respectively. These are both further desaturated to 5,9-26:2 by the same enzymes, i.e. unlike other animal systems, a double bond can be inserted before or after an existing double bond. Similarly, 5,9,19-26:3 is formed by elongation of 9-16:1 to 19-26:1, followed by desaturation in positions 5 and 9.
Dienoic fatty acids in which more than two methylene groups separate the double bonds are found in a wide range of marine invertebrates, but especially in molluscs. The most common of these are 5,11- and 5,13-20:2, and 7,13- and 7,15-22:2. Many of the latter occur in slime moulds also. 6,11-18:2 and 6,11-20:2 Fatty acids have been found in a marine sponge. Invertebrates from deep-sea hydrothermal vent ecosystems contain a number of unusual non-methylene-interrupted polyenes, including 5,13,16-20:3, 5,14,17-20:3 and 5,13,16,19-20:4. 7,13-22:2 and 7,15-22:2. They are synthesised de novo in bivalves by chain elongation, followed by Δ5 desaturation of 9-18:1 and 9-16:1, respectively.
Bis- and Polymethylene-Interrupted Unsaturated Fatty Acids from Plants
Δ5-Unsaturated polymethylene-interrupted fatty acids, with cis-double bonds only, are found in appreciable amounts in seeds, leaves and other tissues of the relatively primitive plants, the gymnosperms (conifers). Of these, the best known is probably 5-cis,9-cis,12-cis-octadecatrienoic ('pinolenic') acid, which is widespread in species of pines.
A number of different fatty acids have been identified, some of which appear to be characteristic of specific families of gymnosperms. They include 5,11-18:2, 5,11-20:2, 5,9,12,15-18:4, 5,11,14-20:3, and 5,11,14,17-20:4. Related branched-chain fatty acids, anteiso-methyl-5,9-18:2 and anteiso-methyl-5,9,12-18:3 acids have been found in pine wood extracts. In addition, 7,11-20:2 and 7,11,14-20:3 occur in some species.
5-cis,13-cis-Docosadienoic acid (16% of the total fatty acids) occurs in the seed oil of a plant from a quite different family Limnanthes alba (meadowfoam). Trace levels of dienoic fatty acids with cis-double bonds in positions 5 and 9 have been found in a few other plant species, while 9,15-octadecadienoate occurs in mango pulp. In addition, an analogue of pinolenic acid with a trans double bond in position 5 (5t,9c,12c-18:3) is the main fatty acid constituent of the seed oil of Aquilegia vulgaris (columbine). A positional isomer of this, i.e. 3-trans,9-cis,12-cis-octadecatrienoate, is a common constituent of seed oils from the Compositae, and the all-cis isomer has also been described.
5,9,12-18:3 is synthesised in gymnosperms by the reaction of a Δ5 desaturase on linoleate, and presumably the other unusual acids in such plants are synthesised in the same way from appropriate precursors.
