Don't call it a comeback! But I'm finally posting about our visit to @_tfl_
My posts have been sparse (ok, nonexistent) for a little while. I attribute this mostly to the fact that I usually blog for a few minutes watching TV in the evening, and evening TV watching has recently evaporated from my schedule.
While we were on a glorious grown-ups vacation in Napa, I was determined to blog a little each day. Then I soon found that the time I could have used for blogging, I preferred to use drinking wine and reading. I can't say that's a bad use of time, I got through 3 books in a week! But here we are, back at home. I was supposed to go off to a half-marathon this weekend, but for various reasons I'm not going. Instead, I'm on the couch with Baby Beez, she's watching the Power Rangers Movie, I've got work to do most of the day, and later I'll put on the sauce for spaghetti & meatballs, and we'll have a family movie night to see Pixels. Even with the several hours working, I dare say it's a lovelier weekend than driving to the mountains to run 13 miles by myself.
But now, on to the topic of interest.
Mr. Beez and I are destination eaters. We will travel specifically for the purpose of visiting particular restaurants, and for our vacation this year, I hustled and hustled and got us a very coveted reservation at Thomas Keller's The French Laundry. It's listed as a "French" restaurant, but the cuisine does not fit neatly in that description. You certainly will not find boeuf bourguignon on the menu here. I'd describe it more as creative, experimental and fresh.
We did visit Per Se in 2012, and found that The French Laundry was extremely similar to it's east coast sister restaurant. The cuisine is virtually the same and the service at both is obsessively attentive. I was surprised that the pacing at The French Laundry was a little faster. Dinner there, even with our million courses, was about 2 hours. At Per Se, even with a 10:00 pm reservation, we strolled leisurely through cocktails and dinner and didn't leave until nearly 2:00 am.
The French Laundry offers a chef's tasting and a tasting of vegetables each evening. The chef's tasting includes a number of upgrades that you can select to "personalize" the meal. Mr. Beez selected some upgrades, I selected others, and ultimately we both got to try everything.
I do not have the sophisticated vocabulary to share in detail how gorgeous these dishes were. They're perfectly portioned– a mere 3 bites, to pack the most potent sensation of the flavors, textures and contrast, without your palate adapting. Since my description cannot do it justice, here are my pictures and the menu for the evening.
"Oysters and Pearls"– "Sabayon" of Pearl Tapioca with Island Creek Oysters and White Sturgeon Caviar
Royal Ossetra Caviar– Cantaloupe "Gelee" and Champagne "Granite" (upgrade option)
* * *
Garden Strawberry Salad– Marinated Fennel, Marcona Almonds, Nasturtium Leaves and Greek Yogurt
"Mousse de Foie Gras en Gelee"– K&J Orchards Nectarines, Brentwood Corn and Garden Purslane (upgrade option)
* * *
Japanese Blue Nose Medai– Preserved Green Tomatoes, Garden Cucumbers, Brokaw Avocado Puree and "Salade Bearnaise"
* * *
Sweet Butter Poached Maine Lobster– Crispy Picholine Olives, Globe Artichokes, Fino Verde Basil and Spicy Tomato Emulsion
* * *
Wolfe Ranch White Quail– Toasted Buckwheat "Rouelle," Pickled Beet Puree, Pearson Farm Pecans and "Beurre Rouge"
Black Winter Truffle "Ravioli"– Duck Gizzard "Boudin," Double Chicken "Bouillon" and Shaved Australian Black Winter Truffles (upgrade option, this was Mr. Beez' absolute favorite dish of the night. He adored those truffles"
* * *
Charcoal Grilled Snake River Farms "Calotte de Boeuf"– Brisket Stuffed Squash Blossoms, Roasted Garden Squash, Kettle Garlic Custard and Black Olive Jus (for me, my favorite was tied between the lobster and the boeuf, both were so buttery, flavorful and delicious)
* * *
Andante Dairy "Acapella"– Jacobson Orchards Peaches, Piedmont Hazelnuts and Black Winter Truffle Confit
* * *
Assortment of Desserts– Fruit, Ice Cream, Chocolate and Candies
By "assortment" they do not mean you pick from an assortment. Rather, you are served dessert after dessert after dessert after dessert. We were served 10 desserts in all, and then were sent home with even more desserts. It was, as you would expect, amazing. If you are adventurous diner and excited to try unique, unexpected combinations, you will be be astonished by what you are served at The French Laundry. Much like Per Se, the dishes are so dazzling (and the price so, well, insane) that this will probably be our only visit. It was a memorable one, and was truly the highlight of our vacation.

"Daddy Is OK" is what I find myself telling my children when the depression rears its ugly head. Daddy is sick and daddy goes to the doctor a lot. Daddy is grouchy and daddy is tired. Daddy doesn't feel very good, but daddy is OK.
I find writing to be very therapeutic for me. As a stay-at-home father, I sometimes feel cut off from the world. Being clinically depressed, I sometimes feel cut off from the world. Put them together, and I sometimes feel really cut off from the world. Writing about what is happening is my substitute for actual interaction with other adult humans.
I will write about my experiences. I will share articles that I think are particularly helpful. I might even brag once in a while about my children, who are, of course, the greatest in the whole world. I will almost assuredly go off on tangents, but I hope it all helps to serve the purpose: to help others in similar situations.
Sadly, I will probably post more questions than answers. Maybe you'll post an answer, or maybe you'll post a different question that I can answer. Maybe together we'll come up with an answer.
I will seek a voice that works for me and that works for you as well. I'm sure that voice will evolve as this continues. I welcome your input.
I will occasionally include links to things that may generate income for me. Clicking on those links will help me pay for web hosting and whatnot. Trust me, I'm not getting rich from this. I will do my best to keep these things on-topic and unobtrusive.

Hoping to leave his marital woes behind in Oslo, Jansen follows his Danish-born mother to her home country, to the beach house where the family spent summers. During the ferry ride and the following days in Denmark, Jansen recalls his childhood bond with his mother and his decision, after two years of college, to leave school and join his fellow Communists in the factories.

Synopsis: An enthralling novel of a mother and son's turbulent relationship from the author of Out Stealing Horses
Norway, 1989: Communism is unraveling all over Europe. Arvid Jansen, thirty-seven, is trying to bridge the yawning gulf that opened up years earlier between himself and his mother. He is in the throes of a divorce, and she has just been diagnosed with cancer. Over a few intense autumn days, Arvid struggles to find a new footing in his life. As he attempts to negotiate the present changes around him, he casts his mind back to holidays on the beach with his brothers, and to the early days of his courtship. Most importantly, he revisits the idealism of his communist youth, when he chose the factory floor over the college education his mother had struggled so hard to provide. Back then, Arvid's loyalty to his working-class background outweighed his mother's wish for him to escape it. As Petterson's masterful narrative shifts effortlessly through the years, we see Arvid tentatively circling his mother, unable to tell her what she already knows he is thinking. In its piercing portrait of their layered relationship, I Curse the River of Time bears all the hallmarks of Petterson's compassion for humanity that has won him readers the world over.

Suritex's story
Around 170,000 families in Peru are small- and medium-sized producers of alpaca fiber. Many are not able to generate enough income to support their families and live in extreme poverty.
Suritex is a social enterprise started by Gregor (pictured inside factory), a chemical and textile engineer, who is helping ensure the alpaquero communities in the Junin region of Peru have the opportunity to earn fair income for their work. The company produces and sells high-quality alpaca clothing and blankets.
Suritex lowers the cost of processing the raw fiber through solar-powered technology and passes on the savings by buying the fiber from the alpaqueros at fair market price. On average, each community sees a US$6,000 increase in income per month when working with Suritex.
Suritex also offers training programs and employment opportunities to women in the communities. At the production site, they learn skills to work in processing, knitting and manufacturing. They are then paid fair compensation for their work. Currently, Suritex directly employs 36 women.
Your Kiva loan will help purchase and install new solar panels that will allow Suritex increase its fiber processing capabilities, ultimately contributing to an overall production growth of 2.5 times its current levels.
The improved processing facilities will allow Suritex to more than double its sales and improve the lives of 25,000 people over the next five years – giving them a way out of poverty through a dignified and reliable source of income.
This loan is special because:

Help w/Scanmar boats reputation!
Can anyone tell me about Scanmar boats? They are a Swiss boat manufacture. Im looking at a 35'' 1985 model.
Help w/Scanmar boats reputation!
I looked at the very boat you are looking at. There is not much know about the boat because it is from sweden. The one reveiw said it was well made could sail into a rock at 6 knots with little or no hull damage. I changed my mind about the boat because it has a steel keel and rudder and will be a constant rust problem. Panch the sales man said I would have to pay to commission the boat for a test sail a $500.00 cost added to the $700.00 survey cost $1200.00 and if I dont like the way it sails I just lost $1200.00. The **** pit is tight and the traveler right behind the helm could be anoying. The boat looks like it has been well cared for. But the owners are stead fast with the price. If you get them to $45,000.0 you wil still be at $49,000.00 with tax, commisioning ,bottom, paint, Etc. And if you dont like it you could be waiting a long time for a buyer. Good luck if you go for it.
Help w/Scanmar boats reputation!
Maybe the boat is perfect for you... but be patient and keep looking and be sure. Part of the ''reputation'' factor I mentioned in my other posts has to do with this.
Since this is your fist boat, it will likely not be your last. Thus you have to take into account how it will sell. This part of the subjective reputation factor you have to account for. Selling an older, lesser known boat can take YEARS (I am willing to bet that boat has been on the market for 2 yrs or more, ask them). When it is your turn to sell, that time will be frustrating, keep you from your other boat and cost real money.
Selling a boat is equal parts: reputation, condition, price and luck. Thus an unknown boat with less than desireable qualities (mentioned by the poster above) going for top dollar.... hmmmmmmm ... not good math should it be yours.
Hope this helps.
Help w/Scanmar boats reputation!
The info that I have doesnt mention a steel keel or rudder so I will look into this. There is not much info on this boat so I am worried about resale. I can live with the traveler where it is. The boat has just come to market so I wouldnt make an offer this soon anyway. I have been researching boats for about a year now and have learned just enough to confuse myself so thanks for the help. Im new to this and am trying (like so many others) to do the best I can.
Help w/Scanmar boats reputation!
Did you look at the boat in norfolk? I was told that the boat just came to market. Maybe the switched brokers.

Did you look at the boat in norfolk? I was told that the boat just came to market. Maybe the switched brokers.
Help w/Scanmar boats reputation!
Very often critical info like an iron or steel keel or something similar is unknown by the broker. A broker might even have the wrong information. Also, you cannot always rely on what is in the listing. I have personally found drafts to be inaccurate. When it comes to a boat like that it is solely up to you to get all the info you deem necessary.
And, I don''t know about the boat in Norfolk, but it is also common for boats to go through more than one broker.
Hope this helps.
Help w/Scanmar boats reputation!
No I looked at it at Mc Michaels in Mamarimick N.Y.....I am going with a Catalina 30 ...which has just as much room and better resale.
Help w/Scanmar boats reputation!
You must be looking at the one at Mcmichaels, right? If so, I looked at it extensively before I decided to pass. Not for the fault of the boat.
I found folks in Europe who have Scanmar 33, essentially the same boat but without aft cabin.
I believe the boat is made in Finland.
Search previous posts, as I had a question here too and had some replies.
Contact me off list - email@example.com - I''ll tell you what I know.

If you can't do that I would love to see a non human, maybe a sidhe or something paired with Cass. If not that a fae Harry meets the yyh gang and is paired with Jin (cause I have never seen this pairing.) any how no matter what you plan I am sure it will be good so please keep it up and update quickly

Everton are beginning to look ominous at the right time of the season: seven matches unbeaten now. "They are always an aggressive side, who pressure you in midfield," said Rioch. "They are not going to give you much room to play."
Arsenal's Premiership season, meanwhile, is in danger of falling away. Their directors - who have taken over the buying of players from the manager - will be urged by Rioch to renew their efforts in the transfer market this week with Arsenal's squad, thin at best, currently looking anorexic. Two midfielders are said to be on the shopping list, West Ham's John Moncur and Blackburn's Tim Sherwood. Last night, it was reported that Arsenal had made a bid for Milan's Gianluigi Lentini, at pounds 13m still the world's most expensive player. His salary, some pounds 40,000 a week, may be a stumbling block, though Lentini apparently says he is tempted.
An irony yesterday was that Kanchelskis was on Arsenal's pre-season wanted list. "He was fairly quiet today but he has match-winning qualities," said the Everton manager Joe Royle. Hence the pounds 6m price tag.
Arsenal were without the suspended Tony Adams and injured David Platt and Steve Bould and how they missed them. The young players given a chance in the reshuffle, Scott Marshall in defence and Adrian Clarke on the right, performed competently but this was a job for more experienced men.
Ian Wright did his best, leading enthusiastically from the front as captain for the first time and scoring a remarkable goal to give Arsenal the lead. There seemed little danger when John Jensen played a pass forward and Wright, back to goal 40 yards out, spun past Craig Short. He wrong-footed Dave Watson before drilling home a left-foot shot to Neville Southall's left.
After two early chances - Southall saving from Glenn Helder and Dennis Bergkamp - it was Arsenal's first in half an hour. During that period Everton should themselves have had the lead, Daniel Amokachi fluffing a volley and David Seaman saving another by Kanchelskis then turning aside Duncan Ferguson's header from a corner.
Their sense of injustice was apparent after the break. Amokachi, headed through by Ferguson - booked for dissent in the first half - allowed Seaman to push his shot on to the bar, but an equaliser was not long in coming. Seaman's clearance found only Dave Watson in the centre circle and Graham Stuart collected his header forward, rounded Seaman and rolled his shot into the net. Arsenal were left appealing - unjustly - for offside as Ferguson ran back.
The game looked there for Everton's taking but Arsenal responded gallantly and Southall had to save smartly from Paul Merson's volley and two shots from Bergkamp, as well as tipping over Clarke's drive. After all that, came Everton's winner.
Kanchelskis turned inside from Barry Horne's throw-in and drove a dipping low shot into the far corner. "If you are going to force him inside, the second supporting player has to be in close attendance, and he wasn't," lamented Rioch.
Still, he saw good things, he added. Not enough, however. Everton, after a poor early season, are now full strength in more ways than one, and could be passing them soon in the table.

Microsoft Sites, mostly representing the Bing search engine, reported 13% growth in US explicit core search queries between December 2010 and January 2011, according to comScore qSearch data. Microsoft's explicit core search queries rose from about 1.97 billion to about 2.22 billion.
Nearly 17 billion explicit core searches were conducted in January 2011, up 3% from about 16.4 billion in December 2010. Google Sites ranked first with 11.1 billion searches (up 1%).

Rounding out the top five total core search query providers, Ask Network comprised 3.1% of total search queries, followed by AOL LLC Network with 1.6%.
While all total core search query growth among the top five providers was moderate at best, Microsoft had the best rate, almost 7%, rising from 12% to 12.8%. In contrast, Google's share grew by less than 1% (64.3% to 64.6%). Yahoo lost about 5% of its share (falling from 18.8% to 17.9%), while Ask.com and AOL LLC lost small share percentages.
Americans conducted 18.6 billion total core search queries in January 2011, up 2% from 18.2 billion the prior month.

Amazon Gadget Rumors Include 10-inch Tablet and Smartphone
Posted on May 10, 2013
Rumors are swirling that Amazon will soon be launch some new gadgets, including a 10-inch Kindle Fire tablet and a smartphone. Amazon already offers 7-inch an 8.9-inch versions of Kindle Fire and Kindle Fire HD tablets. It also sells a 6-inch Kindle Paperwhite.
CNET reports that Amazon will begin production of a 10.1-inch tablet in the third quarter. CNET says the new Kindle will offer a 2,560x1,600-pixel density display - 300 pixels per inch - which is denser than Apple's Retina iPad.
The smartphone rumor comes from the Wall Street Journal (WSJ). The WSJ says the smartphone will feature retina-tracking technology and a 3D screen. The WSJ says, "Users may be able to navigate through content using just their eyes." Eye tracking technology does exist. Tobii has displayed its gaze technology at CES. If Amazon really wants all this technology in its first smartphone then it may be planning on attempting to leapfrog the competition.

We really love Indian food at Time Out.
Scroll down to see our suggestions of ten of the best places to try it in Dubai.
The Bombay, Marco Polo Hotel: The secluded location of the Marco Polo Hotel means that The Bombay is unlikely to be crammed full of opportunistic diners. But it didn't stop the restaurant picking up the award for the Best Indian Restaurant in Dubai at our 2008 awards. What you will find inside are people who have eaten here before and have brought their friends back. While the interior is standard for a hotel it is the food that truly makes this place stand out. The tangy tomato soup stays just the right side of eye-poppingly spicy and the famed butter chicken accompanied by the vegetable rice is absolutely bursting with flavour.
Ashiana, Sheraton Dubai Creek: Last year's winner of Time Out's Best Indian award in 2007 isn't about to let its title go without a fight. Top of the menu is the taimuri shorba, a delicious creamy swamp of lamb shank-infused soup, perfect to kick things off. The murgh Ashiana also comes highly recommended. With impeccable service and a number of highly recommended dishes, it is easy to see why Ashiana has made loud noises in the ongoing debate for the city's Indian crown.
Indego, Grosvenor House Hotel: This restaurant happens to be a favourite of Gary Rhodes. The last time Time Out spoke to the TV chef and restaurateur, he mentioned that he was a regular at Indego. There is something about the contemporary Indian cuisine that would keep anyone coming back for more. Food is presided over by Vineet Bhatia, awarded his Michelin star in 2001 – and the first Indian chef to be given one for 102 years, according to the opening page of the menu.
Options, Dubai World Trade Convention Centre: If you're looking for plush, crimson-cushioned comfort, muted atmospheric lighting and spangly flourishes, the aptly named Options would appear to be a good choice. Take your seats as the DJ bounces a few eastern vibes among the soft furnishings. The service is efficient and helpful throughout. Order the splendid murgh makhani, delicate nuggets of chicken in a creamy butter and tomato sauce that explodes with flavour.
Aangan, Dhow Palace Hotel: Booking at this restaurant is essential at the weekend, as there's rarely an empty table. Service is impeccable and you always receive a warm welcome. Make sure you order starters as well as mains; the food is too good to only indulge in one course. The tandoori jhinga is a dish of succulent tiger prawns and even the onion bhaji are impressive. You'll be equally wowed with the main courses; with the masala chicken being a safe bet for those that are after something mild.
Antique Bazaar, Four Points Sheraton: Like most bazaars, the products purveyed at this popular venue run the gamut from awe-inspiring to utterly underwhelming. Appetisers are generally a strong point here and the machli chaat exemplifies the restaurant's exacting standards in this department – tender flakes of hammour unleashing a robust blast of piquant flavour. From the mains, the Hyderabadi kheema proves that minced lamb can hold its own as a star attraction, the tender meat complemented by a rich and decadent sauce.
Dakshin, Lotus hotel: Like many Indian restaurants, the menu covers treats from all over the country and Dakshin has a wide appeal that will keep most curry lovers happy. But it is the kulcha – a Punjabi flatbread – that really steals the show. The soft butter-smothered dough is stuffed with devilled potato and onion, and is perfect to scoop up the rest of your meal. It is, simply, delicious.
Gazebo, Independent restaurant: Richly deserved kudos goes to Gazebo, which has retained its elevated status among the city's curry cabal in the face of some stern competition. The lengthy menu focuses on dishes from Lucknow and Hyderabad, two of India's most renowned culinary hotspots. The food is a cut above your standard bhuna in terms of imagination with its meaty lobster rich tawa masala and the tender lamb in the achari gosht.
Mumtaz Mahal, Arabian Courtyard: The traditional musicians here make for a welcome respite from the bhangra and Bollypop so beloved of many Indian eateries. A brief look at the menu can be daunting because it's almost as big as the portions. Starters are excellent and could easily pass as a main course – check out the murgh pakora for a calorie-laden but tasty chicken treat. The prawns in the jhinga biryani are the size of small lobsters, while the gosht khada masala is full of chunky lamb and rich spices.
Iz, Grand Hyatt: With Indian-style tapas from an ever-changing menu, Iz offers a range of tasty delicacies. The mains are a little more substantial and Iz remains a beautiful and stylish place to experience a variety of flavours, textures and cooking styles in one sitting. The tandoori items are excellent, and the salmon tikka is moist, delicate and full of subtle flavour – certainly one of our favourites.

Lipid A and Bacterial Lipopolysaccharides
1. Structure and Occurrence
The envelope of gram-negative bacteria, including those of human pathogens such as Escherichia coli and Salmonella enterica, is composed of two distinct lipid membranes, an inner membrane, consisting of glycerophospholipids, and a highly distinctive outer membrane. The latter is an asymmetric bilayer, the outer leaflet of which in most species consists predominantly of lipopolysaccharides of which Lipid A is a key component. They are of great scientific interest in that they are toxins and stimulate strongly the innate immune system in eukaryotic host species. Proteins take up much of the remaining surface of the outer leaflet of the outer membrane, while the inner leaflet is composed of conventional glycerophospholipids, mainly phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol and cardiolipin.
Early attempts to determine the structures of such lipopolysaccharides were greatly hindered by their amphipathic nature and their strong tendency to form aggregates by hydrophobic bonding or via cross-linking through ionic species. However, improved extraction methods and the discovery that the lipid component could be cleaved from the rest of the molecule by mild acidic hydrolysis lead to the unravelling of the detailed structures. Modern mass spectrometric methods, especially with matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) and electrospray ionization, have been invaluable aids. Thus, lipopolysaccharides derived from different groups of gram-negative bacteria have a common basic structure structure comprising two parts - a covalently bound lipid component, termed lipid A, and a hydrophilic heteropolysaccharide. Lipid A provides the anchor that secures the molecule within the membrane, while the polysaccharide component interacts with the external environment, including the defences of the animal or plant host species.
Lipid A is a unique and distinctive phosphoglycolipid, the structure of which is highly conserved among species. All contain D-gluco-configured pyranosidic hexosamine residues (or 2,3-diamino-2,3-dideoxy-D-glucose), which are present as β(1→6)-linked dimers. The disaccharide contains α-glycosidic and nonglycosidic phosphoryl groups in the 1 and 4' positions, and (R)-3-hydroxy fatty acids at positions O-2, O-3, O-2' and O-3' in ester and amide linkages, of which two are usually further acylated at their 3-hydroxyl group. However, variations in the fine structure can arise from the type of hexosamine present, the degree of phosphorylation, the presence of phosphate substituents, and importantly in the nature, chain length, number, and position of the acyl groups. In the lipid A of of the most studied organism Escherichia coli illustrated, the hydroxy fatty acids are C14 in chain length, and the hydroxy groups of the two (R)-3-hydroxy fatty acids of the distal GlcN-residue (GlcN II), and not those of the GlcN-residue at the reducing side (GlcN I), are acylated by nonhydroxy fatty acids (12:0 and 14:0). Some molecular species contain an additional fatty acid attached to the amide-linked 3-hydroxy acid and the phosphate group may be substituted with ethanolamine-phosphate (of GlcN I).
There are a few important exceptions to this type of fatty acid pattern. For example, in the lipid A of Helicobacter pylori in comparison to that of E. coli, there are four rather than six fatty acids with a longer average chainlength (16-18). In Rhodobacter sphaeroides, the amide-linked fatty acids of the disaccharide backbone are 3-oxo-tetradecanoate, while some species contain 2-hydroxy acids. Agrobacterium and Rhizobiaceae species, which are plant pathogens and symbionts, respectively, tend to have pentacyl units with four C12 to C20 3-hydroxy acids and one very-long-chain (ω-1)-hydroxy acid such as 27-hydroxyoctacosanoic acid (sometimes with 3-hydroxy-butyric acid linked in turn), attached to one of the 3-hydroxyl groups. Lipopolysaccharides from marine cyanobacteria of the genus Synechococcus differ significantly from those of all other species in that the lipid moieties consist of tri- and tetraacylated structures with hydroxy- (odd-chain) and nonhydroxy-fatty acids connected to the diglucosamine backbone.
There are also exceptions to the basic structure of the lipid A component. In Rhizobiaceae species, the core structure is a little more variable, and the phosphates residues may be absent or substituted with glucuronic acid. Together with the distinctive fatty acyl pattern, this may be a strategy of the organism to weaken or evade the response of the plant and so enable symbiosis. The lipopolysaccharide of Francisella species have a number of unusual features, not least in that the lipid A exists partly in the free form, i.e. not linked to Kdo, core sugars and O-specific chain. In comparison to the lipid A from E. coli, the phosphate group at the 1-position of the β-(1–6)-linked diglucosamine unit is replaced by α-linked galactosamine and there is no phosphate at the 4'-position, while the fatty acid components are C18 and C16 in chain length. Lipopolysaccharides of the genus Synechococcus, in addition to lipid anomalies, differ importantly in that they have 4-linked glucose as their main saccharide component instead of heptose and Kdo, while the lipid A lacks phosphate and contains a single galacturonic acid. Whether these represent primitive structures or an adaptation to the marine environment is a matter of speculation.
The heteropolysaccharide chains of the intact lipopolysaccharides extend outwards for a distance of about 10 nm from the surface of the outer membrane, which has an important function in nutrient uptake and also provides the organisms with remarkable permeability barriers that confer resistance to many different detergents and antibiotics. The large number of fully saturated fatty acyl groups in each molecule of lipid is believed to create a gel-like lipid interior of low fluidity that inhibits the penetration of hydrophobic solutes into the membrane. Also, it is believed that this barrier is stabilized by lipopolysaccharide-associated cations (e.g. Mg2+) linking adjacent molecules through salt bridges that neutralize the repulsive forces. The result is an oriented and tightly cross-linked leaflet that protects bacteria from a variety of hydrophobic host-defence molecules including some antimicrobial peptides. It permits growth and survival of bacteria in harsh environments including those within eukaryotic hosts.
In each bacterial species, the heterosaccharide unit is in two parts - an inner core, and an outer 'O-specific' chain consisting of a complex polymer of oligosaccharides, which determines the serological or antigenic specificity of the lipopolysaccharide, the presence or absence of which determines the appearance – 'smooth' or 'rough' – of a bacterial colony. Thus, the 'rough' type lipopolysaccharides lack the O-specific chain, while a 'semi-rough' or short-chain type contains only one O-chain repeating unit attached to the core oligosaccharide–lipid A.
The core polysaccharide is structurally more uniform than the O-chain. The inner part of the core region is composed of the characteristic components heptose, mainly in the L-glycero-D-manno configuration, and 3-deoxy-D-manno-octulosonic (or 2-keto-3-deoxyoctonic) acid (Kdo). The Kdo residue is located at the reducing end of the oligosaccharide chain and is essential for its biological activity. These saccharide units are usually substituted by charged phosphate groups, resulting in an accumulation of charge in this inner region. The molecule from E. coli, which is illustrated in Figure 1 above, is 3-deoxy-D-manno-octulosonic acid (Kdo)2-lipid A. For some time it was thought that the minimum structure for cell viability in E. coli had the di-Kdo moiety, but viable mutants lacking Kdo and with the basic tetra-acyl form of lipid A, i.e. lacking the two secondary acyl groups (and termed 'lipid IVA'), have recently been produced. Indeed, lipid IVA may be the minimum structure required for the viability of the organism. During the biosynthesis of lipid A, intermediates are formed with a pyrophosphate residue in position 1 and a monophosphate in position 4' of the disaccharide unit. It is now recognized that some species retain the pyrophosphate substituent.
The O-specific chains are distinctive and characteristic. Smooth-type gram-negative bacteria synthesise lipopolysaccharides that differ in the length, branching and fine structure of this part of the molecule. The polysaccharide chains consist of repetitive subunits that extend out from the bacteria, and they can include from one to 25 chemically identical repeating oligosaccharide units, which in turn contain from 2 to 7 monosaccharide residues. As a result of diversity in the nature of the monosaccharides, their alternative configurations and the innumerable types of glycosidic linkage, the O-chain in most bacterial species is unique. While each repeating unit may only contain a limited number of monosaccharide residues, there are more than a hundred types that can be selected in addition to many kinds of noncarbohydrate substituents. For example, in some phytophathogens, most of the O-specific chains have a backbone of rhamnose residues, which may be of the D or L configuration and in α or β anomeric forms, often in the same structure. The references cited below afford more detailed information.
In pathogenic bacteria, it is the O-chains that come in contact with the host organism during infection, and as they are antigenic, they form the basis for serotype classification of bacterial genera, and so are also termed 'O-antigens'. They protect the bacterium against the lytic action of the host defences as well as from the effects of antibiotics. When separated from the lipid A component, the O-antigens do not display endotoxic activity.
2. Biosynthesis
Lipid A is synthesised in the cytoplasmic compartment of gram-negative bacteria, and the essential details of the process are now known. In brief in E. coli, lipid A is synthesised on the cytoplasmic surface of the inner membrane by a conserved pathway of nine distinct enzymes, the first six of which are required for bacterial growth (and are targets for the development of new antibiotics). Those requiring further information should consult the reading list below, but it is of interest that the lipid undecaprenyl phosphate is the intermediate involved in the transfer of carbohydrate units. Once the core oligosaccharide is in place, the nascent core-lipid A is flipped to the outer surface of the inner membrane by a specific transporter when the O-antigen polymer, which must also be transported from the cytoplasmic side of the membrane, is attached. Various modifications of the lipid A can then occur that may not be essential for growth, but strengthen the permeability barrier and influence the virulence of some pathogens.
3. Lipid A as an Endotoxin
When bacteria multiply and then die and break up, a heat-stable lipopolysaccharide is liberated, which functions as a powerful bacterial toxin that has been termed an endotoxin to differentiate it from the heat-labile exotoxins released by live bacteria. This was first demonstrated towards the end of the 19th century when it was shown that heat-killed cholera bacteria were themselves toxic. The lipid A component, in particular, is known to be responsible for many of the toxic effects of infections with gram-negative bacteria. Because of its conserved structure in diverse pathogens of this kind, it is recognized as a pathogen-associated molecule by a specific receptor, toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), on immune cells (monocytes, macrophages, neutrophils and dendritic cells especially) and stimulates them to secrete pro-inflammatory cytokines. At high concentrations, these induce high fever, increased heart rate, and in the worst cases can lead to septic shock and death by lung or kidney failure. The response to lipopolysaccharide exposure is highly complex, and the rates of transcription of hundreds of genes are affected.
However, lipid A is also an active immuno-modulator, able to induce nonspecific resistance to both bacterial and viral infections at low concentrations. From both standpoints, it has been the object of intensive study, not only in humans but also in plants, and the mechanisms are fairly well understood. Most living organisms produce antimicrobial peptides that possess dual functions in that they kill bacteria and neutralize the endotoxic effect of lipopolysaccharides, and this is also the subject of much research.
The observed biological effects are partly due to the primary structure of the lipid A moiety, but also to the fact that it adopts a specific conformation that enhances the activity by enabling binding to specific host molecules. It is evident that the number, positions, and chain lengths of the fatty acid constituents have a determinant role in the toxicity and biological activity of the molecule, and the secondary (estolide) fatty acid constituents appear especially important in this context. Indeed, quite subtle changes in fatty acid composition can lead to profound changes in toxicity and in the immune response. Penta-acyl lipid A forms in some bacterial species show highly variably potency depending on the precise composition, but the tetra-acyl lipid IVA, i.e. without the estolide-bound fatty acids, lacks endotoxic activity although the virulence can remain high. Thus, the pathogen Yersinia pestis normally synthesises lipid A with six fatty acid chains in the fleas that act as carriers, but in a human host it produces lipid A with only four fatty acyl chains. This escapes attack by the immune system, as it does not activate the TLR4 receptor.
While the polysaccharide component may be less important to toxicity, it aids the solubility and transport of the lipopolysaccharide molecule, and it does have some biological properties in its own right including its antigenicity. The phosphate groups are also important to toxicity, as they are involved in binding to receptor molecules. Removal of phosphate groups or addition of amine groups to the hydrophilic region enables the bacterial lipopolysaccharides to evade the host immune system.
To counter the direct toxic effects, there is an endogenous lipase or acyloxyacyl hydrolase in the liver and spleen that selectively removes the secondary fatty acyl chains from bacterial lipopolysaccharides and prevents their recognition by the mammalian signalling receptors. This reduces substantially the risk of prolonged inflammatory reactions during infections by gram-negative bacteria.
Similarly, lipopolysaccharides are important molecules in the interactions between bacteria and plants, both in relation to symbiosis and to pathogenesis. They protect bacteria from plant-derived antimicrobial substances, and conversely they trigger defence responses following challenge by pathogens.
It should be recognized that the existence of lipid A-containing lipopolysaccharide in the most ancient and primitive gram-negative bacteria demonstrates that it is absolutely required for their survival, shielding them from a variety of aggressive conditions. It is not produced simply to aggravate humans.

Eagles soar past Coventry
By Adam Marshall
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Crystal Palace continued their climb up the table with an impressive 4-1 win at Coventry.Crystal Palace continued their climb up the table with an impressive 4-1 win at Coventry.
The win was the third on the trot for Iain Dowie's improving side.
Darren Ward sent Palace on their way with the opener on 14 minutes when converting from close-range.
Coventry hit back and drew level just before half time with Matt Heath nodding home.
There was still time left in the first half for Clinton Morrison to restore Palace's lead with a fine header.
Ben Watson gave Palace a two-goal cushion with his side's third goal just before hour mark to claim his first goal of the season.
Things got worse for Coventry eight minutes from time when Claus Jorgensen was sent off for a professional foul.
The home side's misery was completed in the dying second when Jon Macken netted from Andy Johnson's cross.

John Harrigan: A fox, not too far a cry, from the coyote's cry
JOHN HARRIGAN | June 01. 2013 8:20PM
Once I came home to see a fox in the back barnyard trying to caper off with a chicken, and even then it was beautiful, not the chicken, the fox. In that instance all I had to do was shout, not shoot. Long before, in my stupid youth, I tried to draw a bead on a fox loping across a field on Bishop Brook Road. Never again. No chicken is worth a fox.

Welcome To The PlayroomMature
The corners of his mouth slowly curled into a wicked grin, a mischievous twinkle in his eyes. She might not be getting a punishment now, but if she happened to choose one from the mystery hat, she would have to endure it...for his sake. It would be just another maintenance spanking, and sometimes those were a good thing. He feigned a look of hurt. "Aww, pity. I was just starting to get excited."
He stood there, watching his little Lennox as she explored her surroundings, a permanent smile still tugging at the corners of his mouth. He had a feeling she was already intrigued, intrigued to know more, to learn more, to play with him more. "I assume that would be a good 'wow.'" He turned and walked in the opposite direction, coming around the stairwell and sitting down at his desk nestled there, along with a bank of computer monitors, two in particular. The one on the left was recording Lennox's heartbeat in real time from his collar on her neck. He smiled to himself at the sight. "Ah, there you are, little heart."

Troublemakers At the Ready
"Will you stop laughing already! You're acting like a total fool, come on, pull yourself together!" Falladae hissed in Sylfael's ear, teeth gritted with frustration.
Sylfael, however, only clamped his mouth shut and continued to quake next to him. Falladae groaned and rolled his eyes. Typical Sylfael to find anything Ackerly did entertaining. Particularly when it involved the new girl, Ireland.
"Oh come on Fal," snickered Sylfael, punching his friend amicably on the shoulder, "Even you have to admit this is funny. Just look at his face!"
"Another word out of you and I'll fix your face. Leave the poor guy alone, you spend far too much time picking on him as it is!" Falladae tried once again to shut his companion up, but to no avail. Eventually he gave up and sat there, grinding his teeth and drumming his fingers on the desk in an agitated manner as Sylfael chuckled beside him.
Fortunately, the moment the teacher walked into the room, the sniggering stopped. Well, at least the sniggering directed at Ackerly. The geography teacher was a tall, gangly woman who looked rather like the unfortunate love-child of a long-legged bird and a bendy bus. Her long bird-like limbs swung from their joints in utterly ridiculous fashions and her nose stuck out so far as to be almost as long as her spindly, gnarled fingers. Her clothing also added to the birdish allusion, with a long lacy dress with a feathered collar and long yellow-and-black striped stockings that disappeared into pointy black pumps.
The unfortunate teacher also had to suffer with the name Mrs Estridge. Known more commonly to her students as Mrs Ostrich.
Sylfael and Falladae shot each other sideways glances and nodded in unison.
Let the mischief making begin.

Nabarro partners are to vote in March on a cash call to its fixed-share partners in order to meet new tax rules for LLPs handed down by the HMRC.
The firm is planning to ask its fixed-share partners (FSPs) to contribute more than 25 per cent of their salary in order to avoid being classed as employees by HMRC. This is likely to result in a cash injection of under £1m for the firm.
Managing partner Andrew Inkester called an all-partner vote to cement the new definition of FSPs, which make up approximately 35 per cent of Nabarro's partnership, in the partnership agreement.
HMRC's new rules are part of a crackdown on tax avoidance generally and a specific target on LLPs avoiding paying national insurance contributions (NICs) on 'self employed' partners with so-called 'disguised salaries' (17 December 2013). New guidance on the rules was published last Friday (21 February 2014).
A capital injection is a method of failing one of three tests aimed at determining whether or not an individual is an employee or an owner of the business. If firms fail at least one of the tests they can avoid paying NICs for swathes of the partnership (20 January 2014).
Nabarro must ask FSPs for more than 25 per cent of the "disguised" element of their salary in order to avoid paying a hefty sum in tax for around 100 of its members.
The other two tests concern the amount of a partner's salary that is dependent on the profits of the firm and the amount of influence the partner has in the firm. Nabarro partners could potentially fail two of the tests after deciding to boost partners' influence in the firm in line with their capital contributions.
Following an all-partner vote on the new partnership agreement this month, FSP votes will increase with their increased contributions. Currently partners have a share of votes proportionate with their variable fixed share. Those votes will now increase in line with the cash injection entered by those partners.
However some votes, such as the senior partner election, will continue to be 'one man, one vote', according to Inkester.
HMRC said it was pushing ahead with the changes on Friday (21 February 2014) but agreed to give firms issuing cash calls an extra three months to come up with the capital as long as there was a "firm commitment" in place.
Condition C in the new rules states "for individuals who are members at 6 April 2014 a firm commitment in place by 6 April 2014 to contribute capital within three months will be taken into account".
But the Revenue warned that anti-avoidance measures will be triggered if firms use the fresh capital to pay off other debts. It stated: "HMRC would consider the TAAR [targeted anti-avoidance rule] to be in point if the contribution is provided as part of an arrangement where… there is to be a reduction in the firm's indebtedness to the bank."
The changes are set to put pressure on banks, which are un-used to the volume of new loan requests from partners in such a short time period (18 February 2014).
Inkester said: "The two time-critical matters in our case have been changing the members agreement and you need some lead time to get the banks warmed up, because half the firms in London are doing this."
Nabarro is the latest in a growing line of firms considering cash calls following news that TLT (10 February 2014), Trowers (10 February 2014) and Hill Dickinson have all decided on that path (19 February 2014).
Hill Dickinson is consulting on its second cash call in 12 months. Following approximately 12 consultation meetings around the country, Hill Dickinson managing partner Peter Jackson has recommended a capital investment of 30 per cent of salaried partners' total remuneration in exchange for one equity point.

If you missed Skechers' breakout in early 2015, you might feel like kicking yourself. Perhaps a better response would be to study the shoe maker's chart and its fundamentals and then to resolve you won't miss the next one.
The stock should have stood out as an obvious winner. It was easy to buy Skechers (SKX) at the right time and relatively easy to hold.
Skechers also issued a loud sell signal at the top.
But the stock's IBD proprietary ratings were initially only so-so, and that might have caused some investors to take a pass.
On Feb. 11, the Composite Rating was 81, which was good but not great. However, keep in mind that the company was staging a big turnaround.
A Respectable RS Grade
The EPS Rating was 76, meaning that in terms of long- and short-term earnings-per-share growth, Skechers was superior to 76% of all companies in IBD's database.
Skechers' Relative Strength Rating was highly respectable at 93 out of a maximum 99. The Accumulation/Distribution Rating was a not-very-good D+.
The company was recovering from its disastrous introduction of Shape-ups toning shoes that led the company to bleed red in 2011. But by Feb. 11, 2015, it had multiple quarters of triple-digit year-over-year earnings-per-share increases.
A line of newer shoes, ranging from dress to casual, was selling well in the company's 350-plus stores and in wholesale channels. A performance line of running shoes was also being well received. Skechers sells to major department stories, including Macy's.
Here's the lesson: Pay attention to successful turnarounds. They make up as much as one fourth of winning stocks.
After the close Feb. 11, the stock reported earnings that were 78% above the result a year earlier. The next day, the stock gapped up and out of a cup-with-handle base with a 21.09 buy point, jumping 4% on volume 281% above average (please see a daily chart). That was the day to buy.
During the stock's entire advance, it rode comfortably above its 50-day moving average. The stock's ascent was gradual at first, although it moved in a tight fashion. By April 22, it had risen 20%, a point where some investors could have taken profits. But the investor who sweated out the earnings report after the close was richly rewarded. EPS rose 85%, and the stock gapped up and ran 15% the next day.
The stock rose 22% for the week, but it wasn't a climax top (1). The stock rose 14 of the next 15 weeks. The lesson: Climax tops don't happen until at least 18 weeks after a breakout. Skechers was only 11 weeks from its breakout, so the stock should be held.
The next earnings report was July 29, and it sent the stock gapping up again the next day. The stock rose 22% for the week (2). It was Week No. 25, so it was a climax run, and the stock should have been sold that day or the next day.
It wasn't long before Skechers had given back that climatic gain. And it wasn't long before the stock gave back even more, soon after a 3-for-1 stock split.
Today, the stock trades more than 40% below its 54.53 peak.

Ester is a medium sized American Bulldog mix. She is very pretty & loves water! Ester was saved off of a free ad sight when her rescuer discovered she was not spayed & worried about her fate in this world. She went to foster with this rescuer & learned many basic house manners & that the world is not such a scary place. See, it is believed Ester was kept penned up & isolated from people & the world in general. This has caused Ester to look at some normal everyday things as scary. There are some days, especially during storms that Ester wants to stay in her "safe place" (kennel) & not go outside. Ester has fortunately been taken into a wonderful program that Dogs by Debin partner's with called The Pet Connection. Here, she is receiving exposure to life & every day handling & training. We believe in Ester & so do all that love her. Included in her adoption are sessions with this current behaviorist she is housing with. Are you a home that would not prove to be overwhelming to Ester? We require no children as we would like time to be spent improving Ester's quality of life. Ester is only 3 years old.
Interested? Please visit http://bit.ly/1m78fU5 to complete our quick online adoption application from your computer or desktop (not a phone). A representative will email you within 24-hours. Please do not come in until you are pre-approved. Ester's adoption fee is $150 & includes: Neuter, age-appropriate vaccines, microchip, deworming, a wellness exam, a fecal test, & an offer of pet healthcare insurance for 30-days from adoption date. Thank you!
Our #1 goal though is to have a dog stay in their current home, should it be safe. We offer counseling & resources to do our best to make this happen. When it's not possible, they may safely surrender the dog to us, provided we have space.
After the Adoption Application is reviewed, and requirements are verified, Dogs by Debin will contact adopter, and if eligible, appointment will be made to come in and meet our dogs.
We try and list our adoption fees when posting our dogs. All of our adoption fees include: Age appropriate vaccinations, deworming, microchipping, tested for heart worm (if positive, we treat them), and a free training session with our local trainer. If the adoption is a puppy, the training session will be at 4mths or older.
Thank You!

Other organizations are rescue groups run by busy volunteers who may take a while to reply.

We've been watching events unfold on TV for a long time. Over the last 50 years, a large amount of television programming has been archived, though much may never make it online.
And that's OK. We don't have to relive everything that was ever done in a video, kinescope, or HD format. In fact, most of what's been on video is fairly uninteresting or just plain banal.
Yet here it is, that form of communication that slyly worked its way into our homes and just about everywhere else, making it possible for us to spend time ignoring our environment. Remember portable TVs? It's a format that has delivered more visual information to more people in the history of the world. Though cause for debate, the Internet is probably fast approaching that mark on some scoreboard somewhere.
We can all see the good in how humanity can share hope, joy, and grief in our terrestrial video play. But what about the other times when the TV is on and things aren't so notable?
This form of communal ignorance is guised in the form of entertainment. A few decades ago, entertainment was long form, aptly based on classical techniques and practices: the three-act play, the soliloquy, subtext, and the story arc.
That isn't to say these kinds of practices are outdated. But in some ways, we're seeing the multitasking populous with its frenetic attention span influence the art of visual storytelling.
Have you ever watched "CSI"? Maybe most of you have. But the first time I did a short time ago, I felt like I'd regressed to a 9-year-old sugar freak. Not that it's a horrible program, but I wouldn't recommend it to a Shakespeare fanatic.
Online video is here, and it's changed the consumption of dramatic, comedic, and tragic content into bite-sized pieces. If you prefer subtlety and nuance in storytelling, online video won't do. This new language is designed for the "sound-bite generation," for whom a story must be told in 30 seconds or less.
Is video, then, the ultimate solution for the advertiser who wants to cram as much as possible into an ad? Does the new generation of consumers who consume video provide a gateway for higher message consumption?
As much as the hopeful might want to think so, that trend won't last for very long.
Some TV ad studies show that only 5 percent of people fully pay attention to TV advertising. No matter how funny and how good, the ad's got a small chance of getting exposure. Combine that fact with the multitasking nature of online viewers, and that fraction is reduced even more.
No matter what you think the next best thing will be online, remember short attention spans are fleeting like the wind. Just because you can say it punchier and in less time doesn't mean anybody will be listening.

Soak bamboo skewers in water for 30 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, garlic, oil, gingerroot, sugar, vinegar, sesame seeds, and pepper. Thread the steak cubes loosely onto 8 of the skewers and thread the remaining skewers crosswise through the middle of each scallion so that the scallions stand parallel to one another. Put the beef and scallion kebabs in a shallow dish just large enough to hold them, pour the marinade over them, coating them well, and let the kebabs marinate, chilled, turning them frequently, for 25 minutes.
Grill the kebabs on an oiled rack set about 6 inches over glowing coals, turning them, for 10 minutes. Alternatively, the kebabs may be broiled under a preheated broiler about 4 inches from the heat in the same manner.) Remove the beef and scallions from skewers before serving.
