Human SEMA7A Protein expressed in Wheat germ - ABIN1319500
Gan, Reilkoff, Peng, Russell, Chen, Mathai, Homer, Gulati, Siner, Elias, Bucala, Herzog: Role of semaphorin 7a signaling in transforming growth factor ?1-induced lung fibrosis and scleroderma-related interstitial lung disease. in Arthritis and rheumatism 2011
SEMA7A plays a critical role in IgE-mediated neutrophilic airway inflammation
SEMA7A has a role in the development of lung injury
Data suggest that sema7A is involved in the pathogenesis of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis, in the modulation of the immune response and in the neurodegeneration that take place in the CNS.
This study demonstrates that Sema7A controls the assembly of actin-based protrusions that drive Dendritic cell migration in response to CCL21 (show CCL21 Proteins).
Sem7a and its receptors regulate Chi3l1 (show CHI3L1 Proteins) in pulmonary melanoma metastasis
These data identify Sema7A as a regulator of thalamocortical and local circuit development in layer 4 and provide a molecular handle that can be used to explore the coordinated generation of excitatory and inhibitory cortical circuits.
these results suggest that Sema3A (show SEMA3A Proteins) and Sema7A have opposite effects and are involved in different stages of synapse elimination.
SEMA7A was expressed in the liver and was increased in the course of liver fibrosis, both in mice and in humans.
Oncogenic Ras may play a role in epithelial mesenchymal transition via the ERF and regulation of Semaphorin-7a.
We report here the expression and induction of semaphorin 7A (SEMA7A) on endothelium through hypoxia-inducible factor 1alpha during hypoxia.
Sema3A (show SEMA3A Proteins) and sema7A expression correlated with the inflammatory activity of the multiple sclerosis (MS) lesions, suggesting their involvement in the immunological process that takes place in MS.
These results suggest that SEMA7a plays a role as a CSF (show CSF2 Proteins) biomarkers associated with the conversion to clinically definite multiple sclerosis in clinically isolated syndromes patients
heterozygous missense variants in SEMA3A (show SEMA3A Proteins) and SEMA7A may modify the phenotype of Kallmann syndrome but most likely are not alone sufficient to cause the disorder
Semaphorin 7A is a potentially important modulator of eosinophil profibrotic functions in the airway remodeling of patients with chronic asthma.
two MTRAP monomers interact via their tandem TSR (show CFL1 Proteins) domains with the Sema (show SEMA3B Proteins) domains of a Semaphorin-7A homodimer
Semaphorin 7A protein variants differentially regulate T-cell activity.
Sema7A markedly reduces the production rates of megakaryocytes and platelets from CD34 (show CD34 Proteins)(+) progenitor cells.
The protein encoded by this gene binds to cell surfaces through a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) linkage. The encoded glycoprotein is found on activated lymphocytes and erythrocytes. This protein may be involved in immunomodulatory and neuronal processes. Defects in this gene can result in loss of bone mineral density (BMD). Three transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

iOS 7.1 Beta Rolls Out To Registered Developers
Gabriel Roşu / 4 years ago
Apple has released the first iOS 7.1 beta on Monday, which is currently available for registered Apple Developers. The release comes just four days after Apple updated the public version of its mobile software to iOS 7.0.4. The iOS 7.1 beta is available for all compatible iOS devices including the iPhone 5s, iPhone 5c, iPhone 5, iPhone 4S, iPhone 4, iPad Air, third- and fourth-generation iPads, iPad 2, iPad mini with Retina display, iPad mini and the fifth-generation iPod touch.
Below are Apple's iOS 7.1 beta release notes (courtesy of BGR):
- Notes and Known Issues
- Bluetooth Known Issue
- CFNetwork Fixed in iOS 7.1 beta
- Crash Logs Known Issue
- GLKit Fixed in iOS 7.1 beta
- High Precision Timers Fixed in iOS 7.1 beta
- iTunes Known Issue
- Multipeer Connectivity Fixed in iOS 7.1 beta
|The following issues relate to using iOS SDK 7.1 to develop code.
|32-bit apps running on a 64-bit device cannot attach to BTServer.
|Previously, if the server-side closed an HTTP request with TCP FIN without sending any bytes of HTTP header or HTTP body, NSURLConnection would synthesize an empty HTTP/1.1 200 OK response. This is now fixed, and the request will result in an error instead of a successful load with a synthesized response.
|Previously, text drawn with CTFrameDraw did not correctly place lines to account for the paragraphSpacing attribute of NSParagraphStyle. This has been addressed in iOS 7.1 beta.
|Crash logs will not appear in Diagnostics & Usage Data in Settings. The logs will still be available when synced off the device.
|If loaded with GLKTextureLoader, pngcrush images that have alpha were not unpremultiplied.
|When sleeping or waiting for extremely precise time intervals, timers were delayed by up to 1 millisecond.
|Loading an iTunes Match library (or your purchased music history) may take much longer than expected, especially on larger libraries. If your library does not sync right away, please wait 30 minutes and try to access it again.
|The MCSessioninitWithPeer: method has now been implemented properly. For more information on MCSession APIs, watch WWDC 2013: Nearby Networking with Multipeer Connectivity.
Thank you BGR for providing us with this information

It`s been 54 yrs for us, hard to believe, it`s gone so fast, and I have to say this is the best time of our lives!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
It`s been 54 yrs for us, hard to believe, it`s gone so fast, and I have to say this is the best time of our lives!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We were married almost 52 years when my husband passed away. Congratulations to you both.
Our 47 is May 6th. Congratulations
Happy Camper
Retired and Loving It
Our 43rd will be on May 22, seems hard to think that we have been married that long, we only knew each other 3 months before we got married.
Ours will be 47 years in June. It doesn't seem that long. We really were kids when we got married. I like the fact the kids are waiting to getting married. Congratulations, to you and may you have many years to come.
I posted in this thread 2 years ago. We have now been married 58 yrs as of last Jan 3rd. It sounds like for ever,but in many ways,it was just the other day.I am blessed to have him.
Congratulations! I lost my DH to cancer after 26 yrs, but I know we would still be together, and really we are in our hearts! Nothing else that happens to me could be any worse!
If a woman's work is never done....why start?
46 years here! Wonderful years!
Congratulations to you two. We will be celebrating 50 years in June. I keep thinking where did the years go!

What Are Water Rights?
Joyce Park stashed this in History
Stashed in: History!, Awesome, California, Water!, Nuts!
Absorb this juicy mini-history of California's most precious resource, and then remember to mutter: "Leave it Jake, it's Chinatown."
I'm both more infuriated and more confused than ever.
We seem to have built a Water Industrial Complex that is immune to attempts to change it.
Here's the part where the system resists change:
Why are so many people angry about this system?
One of the biggest criticism of the state's water board in California is that it has handed out too many claims while failing to take other measures that would ensure conservation of water sources. It has been reported that allocations have been granted for five times the amount of the state's annual supply, yet there are huge accountability issues with tracking how the water is actually used. Some say rights should come with a requirement for farmers to switch to more efficient watering methods like drip irrigation.
Of particular concern is a quirk in the water rights nicknamed "use it or lose it." If a farmer, for example, doesn't use all the water he was allocated, his future rights to that water might be revoked. This could cause farmers to waste water just to ensure that they'll get rights to the same amount the next year.
Also criticized is the practice of still giving priority to senior rights holders from before 1914. It seems a bit ridiculous to still honor rights that date to a time when California' population was only 2.5 million and the LA Aqueduct was the only major piece of water infrastructure in the state.
The economic and environmental landscape have changed so dramatically, especially when it comes to farming. But many of the senior rights holders are also very large and powerful entities which could lobby against legislation or bring lawsuits against the state if they suddenly changed the rules.
So can't we change the way this works?
Hey, that sounds like a great idea! Many people have been pushing for a reformed system that would do away with existing water rights, including establishing a set price for water every year. Australia reformed its water rights after its catastrophic 2000 drought (which has technically lasted 15 years).
Australia's Water Act of 2007 changed the way that water is allocated to farmers and cities. At the beginning of each year, scientists look at all available water to determine how much each claim is awarded and how much it will cost. Since rights holders know how much water they will get (and that their supply is finite for that year), it incentivizes conservation or investments like putting long-term storage systems into place.
While California hasn't proposed any such changes yet, it would seem that the time is right for some sweeping reforms.

In an evening when Shawn Green was sidelined by a groin injury, Dodger-killer Jason Schmidt on the mound for San Francisco and the legendary Willie Mays in the house to honor his godson, Barry Bonds' 661st home run to pass Mays on the all-time list, it was Odalis Perez, who had been "traded" a dozen times in the off-season by fans and writers.
Perez stepped up to throw eight artistic innings, allowing two hits and no runs. He painted the corners all evening and general managers all over baseball were kicking themselves that they didn't make a deal for the lefthander when they had the opportunity.
Perez allowed only a pair of doubles, both to Edgardo Alfonzo but lived on the outside corner of the plate. He struck out 10 with one walk, throwing 106 pitches.
The Dodgers did not get their first hit off Schmidt until there was one out in the sixth inning and they were already leading, 1-0.
With a runner on base and two out in the ninth, Gagné nearly had Bonds struck out on a 2-2 pitch before he hit a 100 mph fastball into the center-field bleachers. Gagné, who lost the battle but won the war, picked up his third save and 66th in a row.
Roberts led off the game for the Dodgers and quickly created a 1-0 lead for Perez. He walked, was bunted to second by Cesar Izturis, stole third (steal #7) and scored when Bradley grounded out to second base.
Roberts got on base again with one out in the top of the sixth, breaking up Schmidt's no-hitter with a bloop single that fell in front of a Barry Bonds in left who dived for the ball but came up empty.
On a hit-and-run, Izturis bounced a single through the hole, allowing Roberts to continue to third. Bradley then collected another RBI on another groundout, beating the relay to first base to avoid the double play as Roberts scored.
The combination worked for the third time in the ninth. Roberts walked, took second on an errant pickoff throw, was bunted to third by Izturis and scored on yet another groundout by Bradley.
When some thought that one additional hitter would not make any difference, the Dodgers acquired Milton Bradley, a super-talented center fielder who just turned 26, a switch-hitter with power and speed who was, happily for the Dodgers, deemed expendable after a conflict with management.
Bradley proved in the most important game of the season so far, that three simple ground balls to the right side of the infield are more valuable than a spectacular 400-foot home run.
Obviously, to say Bradley is the answer to all the Dodgers' offensive problems would be an exaggeration. But to say that he might be the right piece of the puzzle at the right time would be accurate, at least on one spectacular night in San Francisco.
Dodger Blue Notes--Green was scratched from the lineup because of continued stiffness in his right groin muscle, injured Thursday in San Diego. Green was in the original lineup but after he hit and jogged a bit, it was still tight and Tracy determined to hold him out. The injury came just as Green's bat had heated up. He reached base 9 of his last 12 times and had boosted his average to .333. ... Jeff Weaver, after being knocked around in his last start, did not agree with the suggestion he was tipping his pitches. He said he was overanalyzing things, attempting to throw perfect pitches instead of just quality pitches. ... Jeremy Giambi, a non-roster player in training camp whose spring was cut short by lower back problems, is rehabilitating at Triple-A Las Vegas. ... Disabled outfielder Jayson Werth reports no change in his pulled oblique muscle. Trainers will not let him swing a bat until the muscle re-attaches. He reports that he has no pain unless he coughs or sneezes. ... Alex Cora, who was hitting just .143 before collecting a double and triple Thursday against San Diego, says his rebound began late last season when he batted .346 in September.

For decades, the payment processing industry has circled around credit cards while charging merchants of all sizes large transaction fees. Many small businesses held off accepting credit cards for years, or only accepted them on purchases over a certain threshold. However, with the shift in consumer spending habits moving toward plastic, merchants have been forced to accept credit cards along with the high transaction fees.
Web-based businesses have had no choice but to take credit card payments since accepting cash or checks is almost impossible. Combined with the fact that transactions run manually with no card physically present carry higher costs, online merchants have watched credit card transaction fees eat up their profits for years.
There is a company out to change all that, and its name is Dwolla (visit them at dwolla.com). Dwolla has built a new payment system from the ground up and designed it with a vision of how a payment processor would be put together given today's technological advancements over the legacy system that credit cards use. Founded by a former ecommerce business owner, Dwolla sets out to drastically reduce the payment acceptance overhead most organizations experience, while making payments easier and more social.
Benefits of Dwolla
One of the unique features of Dwolla is you can pay a merchant or individual from their email address, Facebook account or Twitter handle. The information is not shared with the social networks in any way, but makes it easy to add your friends and associates to you address book.
Perhaps the most exciting part of Dwolla's system is the fee structure. Business owners are used to lengthy payment contracts with annual commitments, monthly fees and high transaction costs. Dwolla does things completely different. There are only two fee categories:
- If a transaction is over $10, the cost is $0.25 regardless of amount.
- For transactions under $10, there is no charge.
There are no monthly minimums or PCI Compliance fees. No annual contracts or equipment leases. Nothing.
Merchants everywhere have been getting pretty excited at the prospect of paying almost nothing for their payment processing costs. (Except those who sell everything just above $10. That puts their transaction costs at around 2.5%, which is pretty typical for a credit card contract.) But it is not that cut and dry. It has taken decades for consumer spending habits to put credit cards at the forefront of most everyday purchases, and while Dwolla may begin to take market share away, it could be a long time before it takes over as King of the payment world.
The Hurdles Ahead
The two hurdles that Dwolla faces right now are getting merchants to accept it and consumers to use it. As with most new payment technologies, it becomes a question as to which party is going to adopt first. If merchants everywhere were accepting Dwolla and promoted that fact, people would start to become curious and eventually look into it. On the flip side, if consumers were adopting Dwolla quickly, you could bet that businesses would be keeping their employees late to train them on the new payment acceptance procedures.
The good news for Dwolla is mobile payment methods have been on the rise and there are a lot of big names bringing attention to it. Dwolla has found themselves on the front of the new payment technology wave, and if things continue as they have the last 12 months, the entire payment industry could take a turn for the better where merchants are concerned.
Eric Stauffer is part of a watchdog group that rates and reviews payment processing companies on behalf of small businesses. Their list of ratings includes companies like Dwolla, as well as more traditional merchant service companies such as Crescent Processing Company. They also provide contract review services for business owners that wish to get a second opinion before agreeing to payment terms.

The warmth of the morning sun stirred me awake. I laid there still sprawled out on my still-made bed and stretched my arms above me. I could feel the tightness of my clothes as they hugged me back, something my pajama's never did...
Glancing down I noticed I had never changed. Beside me on the end of the bed was my phone where it sat, waiting. Did Eric ever message me when he got home?
I jumped to my knees and crawled to my phone before collapsing and bringing my phone to life with the press of a button.
'5 unread messages', it read.
I cringed. He probably thought I was trying to avoid him after how last night went. I wanted to bury my face in my bedsheets. Ugh.
Nevertheless, I had to see what those messages said. I slid my finger over the raised buttons gently, as if that might reflect what those messages might contain. My heart raced as I opened the messages that displayed in a one way conversation.
9:48 pm.
"I made it home safely. I hope you had a good night. I really like being with you, even if its hanging out in a blanket fort and drinking bubbly juice. :)"
9:51 pm.
"Flora? Are you okay? I hope you're not upset about what happened tonight. If it helps, I'm truly sorry. I don't mean to be so straight-forward."
10:08 pm.
10:21 pm.
"Well... I think you're asleep. If you get this message, I want to say goodnight. Sweet dreams. And that I love you."
10:24 pm.
"Btw, I have work in the morning. I don't know how long I'll be gone this time, but I'll try to get home as soon as I can. I miss you and I'll talk to you later."
I miss you, too, I said to myself. I always hated it when he went to work. My thoughts went to all its dangers. The heavy machinery, explosions, unsafe gases escaping from the depths of the earth. Even the season inching closer and closer to winter, I didn't even want to imagine him driving off the road on the dangerously narrow trails up on the mountain.
It was true. Being in love with one in the oil field sucked. I wanted more than anything to switch my mind from that to focus on starting my day. So far it wasn't the greatest, but maybe I could salvage something... like making something for breakfast.
To begin, maybe a change of clothes would be nice.
I got a hold of the bottom of my sweater and pulled it effortlessly up my chest and over my head. I dropped it on the floor where yesterdays clothes still lay and shimmied my snug jeans off of the gentle curve of my hips, down my thighs and tiptoed out of them.
Exposed to the chill morning air I took long strides to the dresser and slipped into a fitting, striped black and white shirt and dark jeans. Since the weather was becoming a bit more frigid, I put on thick socks that stretched up half of my leg.
I threw on my old Eeyore jacket, zipped it up halfway and walked briskly towards the kitchen.
Even in these warmer socks the cold tile still felt bitterly cold.
Examining the contents of the fridge there was a half carton of eggs, an empty milk gallon and a couple sour cream containers filled with some form of left overs from the past month. There was some mac and cheese in one, a foul smelling remainder of what resembled green beans and an unknown substance that could've gained legs and walked away. Bleh...
My cupboards were bare except for a few cans of beans, cream of corn and an open box of Cheerios, something I didn't even like. For the life of me I don't know why I even bought them since I am more appealed to the sugary, not-so-good-for-you types better.
The reality of my morning - I was in dire need to go shopping. I grabbed a handful of Cheerios and threw them in my mouth and searched for my purse. I chewed them forcefully to finally swallow the mush they were dissolving into.
Rummaging through the contents of my purse I pulled out the floral fabric wallet which contained $41. That at least had to be enough to get something for the week. I threw it back in hastily, zipped it up and slung it across my shoulder before grabbing the keys hanging on a nail beside the door and stepping outside.

Dee Dee's South of the Border Corn Pudding
Winner of the Get Fresh: Veggie Favorites! Contest
Diane Hopson Smith
Corn pudding has been a favorite side dish for me for as long time as I can remember. In fact I love corn just about any way you fix it.
I've tweaked a basic corn pudding recipe by adding other fresh garden veggies and some south of the border spices. If you don't care for the heat, reduce the amount of pepper flakes or don't use at all. I think you will find this a very tasty side dish with or without the pepper flakes.
Hope you enjoy as much as we do.
Blue Ribbon Recipe
- 2 Tbsp
- sugar
- 2 Tbsp
- all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp
- baking powder
- 3 c
- fresh corn kernels (I used silver queen)
- 1/4 c
- green onions, sliced
- 1/4 c
- red bell pepper, chopped
- 1/2 of (4.5-oz) can chopped green chilies
- 1/4 tsp
- cumin
- 1 Tbsp
- red pepper flakes, optional (reduce amt for less heat)
- salt and pepper to taste
- 3 large
- eggs
- 1 c
- whipping cream
- 1/4 c
- butter, melted
NOTE: the outer edge seems to cook faster than center, gently stirring halfway through cooking allows this pudding to cook more evenly.

The Pain of One
Isaiah looked out for most of the day from the balcony of Elizabeth's penthouse, his wings safely placed into his back. He stared curiously at the cars, buses and bikes in the streets below. All moving at a steady pace in organised lines. They all seemed to be conducted by three lights placed on a large black post on the pavement. When the red light flared the cars stopped, when it changed to green they all began to move again. "Fascinating."
"What's fascinating?" Elizabeth asked as she appeared next to him.
"Humans are fascinating, unbelievably pointless, but fascinating."
"Wow, the whole of human existence on this planet just described as pointless by a messenger from god. Call the Vatican immediately." She said derisively.
"I know how you...."
"Why do you have six wings?" cut in Elizabeth. Isaiah looked at her and smiled.
"I am a Seraphim angel my lady, me and my family have six wings, while all angels below us only have two." Isaiah explained. He had assumed that many humans wouldn't recognise his species of angels. It was true he had six wings that extended from the length of his spine.
"Don't call me that." Said Elizabeth frowning. "Call me Ellie, everyone else does."
"You look confused."
"Confused?" Isaiah said looking at her, she raised an eyebrow at him and laughed slightly.
"Yeh, like you don't understand something." She said slowly.
"You're not that bright are you?" Observed Elizabeth smiling. "And you haven't thanked me."
"Thanked you for what?"
"For not giving the police your description." She said moving and sitting in the living room.
"You did give the police my description." Isaiah said following her.
"Yeh, defiantly not that bright." She said under her breath. "I said you were blonde and five nine, you're a brunette around six one."
"I am?"
"You don't even know what you look like." Elizabeth said looking sceptical. Isaiah shook his head.
"The lord lets us know what we need to know, nothing more."
"That must suck." She said resting her head on her elbow. "Always being told what you need to know when you need to know it."
"I know no other way, and I never will."
"Tell me something, how do you know what you told me about my mother and father?" She said looking at him thoughtfully.
"We angels always have a connection to the Kingdom; we can see it when we close our eyes," Isaiah said shutting his eyelids gently. The huge golden light shone down on the colossal city that sat on the gentle white clouds. "I can hear the prayers of people, people down on earth, prayers to god, and prayers... to relatives."
"Ah," Elizabeth said biting her lip. Isaiah opened his eyes and looked at her. "Is the Kingdom what you call Heaven?"
"And my parents are there."
"Yes." Said Isaiah plainly. Elizabeth exhaled deeply and wiped her eye with her cuff. "So how can you lift everything in the room?"
"I don't know myself, Seraphim angels have slight control over things in the Kingdom. We can manipulate it slightly to do our bidding. But here," he said pointing at a small velvet box on the coffee table. It floated into the air and then broke apart into its component parts. A golden necklace hovered between the pieces of velvet and the small screws. "All I have to do is imagine something, and it happens."
"It's like the force." Said Elizabeth smiling. Isaiah looked at her feeling confused. "The force," she emphasised. "It's off of a film called Star Wars. People can move and influence stuff with their mind."
"The force," he said raising his eyebrows. "The force." Elizabeth laughed loudly. "What's amusing?"
"You're like a child," she said smiling.
"How so?"
"You find everything to do with us mesmerizing; you don't understand how we live on this planet. That's strange; I thought you would know quite well. You're always looking down at us from heaven."
"Humans and angels may have the almighty's body, aside from our wings, but there our similarities end. Angels and humans cannot be any more different."
"I don't think so." Said Elizabeth.
"You seem to have forgiven me for killing the sinner."
"What that guy that attacked me," she said. "No I haven't, you still shouldn't have killed him,"
"I had no choice in the matter," said Isaiah.
"Don't give me that! You made a choice to kill, you chose to impale him on that sword you carry with you. You chose to commit a sin." Spat Elizabeth.
"I had no choice in the matter," Isaiah repeated. "It was god's will."
"Do not justify yourself by saying it was god's will, do you know how many people have died in the name of god angel?" she demanded.
"All were sinners," he began.
"NO!" she yelled. "Not all were sinners! Many were innocent men, women and children murdered because they did not believe in your god!" Elizabeth's eyes were burning with rage. "If it is god's will then why do so many children in third world countries die every day! A church roof once fell on the group of people praying inside, was that god's will!"
"Everything in this world is controlled; nothing happens by chance, everything is his will."
"So if I run, now, and jump out of that window and kill myself. Is that god's will?"
"No! That is my will! I chose which direction I go in my life, I choose whether I live or die. Not god."
Elizabeth finally stopped yelling and lounged back into her seat. In her fury she had thrown herself from her chair and stood looking down at him. Isaiah stared at the teenage girl that he was sent to help and protect. A new feeling raised its ugly head in his body; he wished so much to be like her. To choose ones decisions for himself, to decide what he does from day to day. He wanted to be like her, wanted to be her. Pushing down the emotion he coughed and stood. "You can deny gods powers all you like, but he is always with you my la...Ellie." Isaiah walked to the balcony and looked back at Elizabeth. "I will return later tonight, my name is Isaiah not angel."
"Angels have names now?" said Elizabeth softly.
"Of course, Gabriel wasn't his nick name." Said Isaiah. Elizabeth chuckled for a reason that escaped Isaiah. He cracked open his wings and flew to the roof of the Savoy.
There he sat, cross legged on a cold air conditioning machine. He closed his eyes and he felt his consciousness glide upwards towards the heavens. "Hello brother," Isaiah snapped open his eyes and saw his six brothers and sisters. They were each sat in a part of a huge circle, all cross legged. Isaiah found this mental palace uncontrollably uncomfortable, there was no wind, no air, just a mass of swirling colour.
"Brothers, sisters." Isaiah said nodding his head in a greeting.
"Have you found a person to protect yet brother Isaiah?" Asked Tien.
"Yes, a young girl called Elizabeth Barb. I found her two days ago." He replied smiling.
"Trust the youngster to protect a child," Said Raphael.
"The orders said nothing about the gender or age of the human Brother Raphael, Ellie is in as much need as anyone else." Said Isaiah shifting in his seat.
"Ellie?" they all chanted. Tien looked at him dead in the eyes.
"Do not become attached to this human Brother Isaiah,"
"You know we cannot form attachments Sister Tien," Angelle defended.
"I do not mean emotional attachments," Tien said staring stone faced at Isaiah. "Do not let this human get fully dependent on you Brother."
"There is no worry about that; she has a far too strong personality for that." Said Isaiah defensively. What little form of expression Tien had before, dropped from her face.
"Brothers, sisters, leave us." She said sternly.
"Yes sister Tien." Each of them chanted. They all suddenly disintegrated into the mass of swirling colour that surrounded them. For several long minutes the two angels just looked at each other, judging the other silently.
"They follow your orders now sister Tien?" Isaiah finally asked.
"I am second in command here brother." Answered Tien quickly.
"I fear about you brother," she said leaning forward. "I do not want you to get too close to humans."
"Are you forgetting sister that I am the leader of this mission?" Isaiah asked sharply.
"I am questioning whether you are mature enough to lead us, little brother." Said Tien standing. Isaiah jumped from his seat and walked towards her.
"What is it you are questioning, my mind or my competence?"
"Both. Brothers sisters please return." The five angels appeared from the colour all stood around them in a circle. "The lord has informed me that you need to be relieved of your duties and will be taken up to the Kingdom immediately. Are we together on this point angels?"
"Yes sister Tien," they all chanted.
"You are to leave this girl and return to the ascension point in Africa immediately. I will take control of this mission." Tien said coldly.
"Is this how you all feel brothers and sisters?" Isaiah asked looking at each of his siblings. Their divine faces were hard and cold, nothing like Elizabeth's which was warm, soft and full of feeling. Angelle and Ariel avoided his gaze, but the others just stared back at him.
"This is for your own safety brother Isaiah," said Angelina loudly. Isaiah felt a devastating feeling hit him in the stomach. One he didn't recognise, like so many others, and like the others this one he didn't like. "Angels cannot get involved to deeply with humans, you know why."
"No, because they are not too different to us." Said Isaiah quoting Elizabeth.
"We are two completely different beings, we have nothing in common with these people." Said Malak forcefully.
"I feel sorry for you Malak, we could learn something from these people, we really could." Isaiah said looking back at Tien.
"How can we learn from these people?" Raphael tore. "They are violent, aggressive, barbaric, un-logical."
"Were we so different?" what tension was in the area suddenly grew, his siblings seemed to freeze in place. Living statues.
"You are too young to remember the war boy. This is the problem with the new generations they expect us to remember the past." Said Angelina quietly, judgingly.
"I do not wish you to remember it; I merely wish you would acknowledge it."
"Leave now brother Isaiah," ordered Tien. No, he thought to himself, but the idea was immediately dismissed. He felt himself sink through the floor and he snapped his eyes open. A freezing nights wind hit his cheek like a brick. The skin tingled and he looked on, confused, as his hairs stuck themselves on end. Confusion. Isaiah liked this emotion. To name a feeling when he didn't understand something, everything. So many unknown feelings and emotions ere swimming around inside him, it was hard to tell one from another. He sighed and looked at the moon and the stars above the streets of London. Only a day had passed with Elizabeth, and yet she had made such a huge impact on him, it felt wrong to leave her so soon. I could go back and tell them I will let Tien lead, as long as I could stay. But that thought was soon rammed from his head, No it is god's will for me to leave. So I must. He jumped from the air conditioner and inhaled a deep breath of cool midnight air. More small cracks lined the tile around his feet as he jumped from the top of the building onto the balcony.
"You're going to have to fix that." Her voice said as it drifted through the open door. Isaiah looked into the living room and saw Elizabeth curled up on the sofa watching the large television screen.
Isaiah walked into the living room as the tiles began to fix themselves under his feet. "I need to go," he said quickly.
"Go then." She said looking at him as if he had just said something stupid.
"I'm not coming back."
"Breaking news!" the television blurted. "New video evidence of the seven comets seen flying over Italy." The scarlet haired news reporter that Isaiah had first seen appeared on the screen again. "Good evening, it's eleven o'clock and I'm Fiona Bruce. An expert in video and camera analysis has taken the video from the first sighting of the seven comets and has analysed it to great extent, we now join Phil Johnson who is stood with this analyst, doctor Richard Gaunt, outside the natural history museum in London." A picture of a young man with spiky hair holding an umbrella appeared on the screen.
"Good evening, the heavens have opened over us here in London and not a more appropriate weather as the views from this video are certainly chilling.
"I am joined here by a retired criminal video analysis doctor Richard Gaunt, doctor," said the young reporter turning to an old wrinkled man with silver locks of curly hair. "How did you find this video?"
"I discovered that before the video was handed to the press the young men in question had uploaded the video onto YouTube where it got nearly one million hits in the first week." Said doctor Gaunt in a deep voice.
"And am I too understand you used to work on video surveillance for the Metropolitan police service." Asked Phil.
"That is true so I am used to working with very low quality videos."
"Ok please talk us through this video." The video of the young drunk Italians appeared on the screen, but this time the video was far crisper and much more clear.
"Here is the first moment when you see the objects," the doctors voice said over the video. "And here," he said pausing the video just as it saw seven large white objects above them. "This is the moment when the seven objects passed over their heads the closest they get. Now if we zoom in," the image zoomed in onto Isaiah's light. "And darken."
The frozen picture darkened and a clear shape of a human body with six dark wings was clearly visible in the mass of white light. "An image appears, we do not yet know what this is. Each object has the same bodily shape and the same so called 'wings' above them."
"Could these objects be what we think they could be?"
"It will take further examination of the videos, but many religious people have started to call these objects the Septimus Angels." Elizabeth gasped and looked to where Isaiah was standing, but all she saw were three white glowing feathers floating lightly to the floor. A loud boom over head and Isaiah had left. He could see her in his mind running out onto the balcony looking for him. Isaiah treasured the picture of her face, so pure, so...angelic.

By Ben Nuckols, Associated Press Writer
BALTIMORE Arthur Bremer was a 21-year-old former janitor and busboy when he shot Alabama Gov. George Wallace five times during a presidential campaign stop in 1972 in Maryland.
Now 57, Bremer is preparing for life outside prison. He's scheduled to be released in mid-December and could get out even sooner.
Bremer has never publicly expressed remorse for the shooting. He has not granted a single interview during his 35 years behind bars. He's never gotten into trouble, either.
"He was a model inmate," said Ruth Ogle, a program manager for the Maryland Parole Commission. "He never had an infraction the entire time he was incarcerated."
The commission denied parole for Bremer in 1996, on the grounds that releasing him would diminish the seriousness of his crime. He could have asked for a reconsideration of that decision, but he never did.
However, Bremer has shaved nearly two decades off his 53-year sentence with good behavior and by working jobs in prison. Bremer currently works as a clerk at the medium-security Maryland Correctional Institute-Hagerstown, where he's been lived since 1979.
His release is scheduled for Dec. 16, but that's likely to change as he continues to accumulate credits for work and good behavior, said Rae Sheeley, a case management specialist at the prison.
Wallace was seeking the Democratic nomination to challenge President Richard Nixon when he was wounded May 15, 1972, outside a shopping center in Laurel. Three bystanders were shot but weren't seriously hurt.
The attack left the former segregationist with paralyzed legs and forced him to abandon his populist bid for the presidency. Despite declining health, he was elected to two more terms as Alabama's governor. He died in 1998.
Bremer's diary indicated that he had stalked Nixon before turning his sights on Wallace, and that he was seeking notoriety when he planned to assassinate a political leader. Yet his silence since his conviction diminished his infamy.
"I shy away from publicity," he said during his parole hearing, according to a transcript. "There's nothing I could say, and if I did say something, it could be interpreted the worst way possible against me."
Wallace's son, former state treasurer George Wallace Jr., told the Press-Register of Mobile, Ala., that he got word of Bremer's impending release about two weeks ago.
"I've forgiven Arthur Bremer and my family has, so I think God's law has been adhered to, and we're comfortable with that," Wallace told the newspaper. "But having said that, I don't believe that given the suffering my father endured all those years from the gunshots and the constant paralysis -- I don't think Arthur Bremer's incarceration comes close to that type of suffering."
The younger Wallace told the paper that the shooting had a "purifying" effect on his father, who became more religious and sought forgiveness from blacks for his previous support for segregation. However, the shooting shortened Wallace's life, his son said.
Reached by phone Thursday morning, George Wallace Jr. declined to comment further.
"I don't have any more to say about it," he said. "It's just too painful."
Jim Collins was shocked when told that Bremer was close to being released. Now a spokesman for the city of Laurel, he had been delivering auto parts to a store at the shopping center close to the time Wallace was shot.
"This is a man who attempted to assassinate, to murder somebody -- not only one, but who shot other people as well," he said. "It amazes me that a person like that could get out of prison."
Bremer's trial lasted just one week. His attorney argued that Bremer was insane, and jurors heard testimony from experts about Bremer's mental state. The jury deliberated for 95 minutes before coming back with guilty verdicts on all counts.
Bremer spoke only briefly. Referring to a prosecutor who said he wanted society to be protected from people like the defendant, Bremer said: "Looking back on my life ... I would have liked it if society had protected me from myself."
Bremer's plans for life outside prison were unclear. Maj. Priscilla Doggett, a spokeswoman for the Maryland Division of Correction, said inmates are required to indicate where they plan to live after their release. Any money they've made from prison jobs is paid in a check, and they're given at least $50 in cash.
Bremer's parents are deceased. His mother, Sylvia, who died in February at age 92, told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel in 1982 that two of her sons had changed their last names because they were tired of being asked about Arthur. Calls to Bremer's brother, Roger, went unanswered.

You ask nicely to be bottle fed.
You blush slightly do to your minor shyness, but remain well behaved as always. "Um, may I have my baba please?" Candy gets out a bottle of warm milk that was already prepared well for this moment, "You most certainly may cutie." She leads you over to the rocking chair and has you lie down on her lap; your long legs are going far off the chair. She feeds you the bottle which you appear to be drinking fast. "My, somebody's hungry." You nod slightly and continue drinking till the bottle empties. The nice fox lady the repositions you into a cuddle position and pats your back causing you to burp loudly. She giggles and calls you a good girl. She cuddles you some more till you suddenly flood your diaper. "Awww, did someone have an accident?" Candy asks. You nod and blush slightly. "It okays, I shall change you into a nice fresh diaper." She carries you with impressive strength to the changing table where she sets you down comfortable and gets out all the changing supplies. She untapes your diaper and proceeds to wipe you up clean. "Poor Nozomi, you really soaked them." After she finishes wiping you, she takes the soggy diaper, balls it up, and tosses it in the pail. Then she slides a new diaper underneath, powders you up, and fastens the tapes snuggly around your waist.
Candy helps you off the table and lovingly pats your bottom, "There you go, all clean and dry." "Thankies," You say as you hug her, your diaper crinkles loudly as you move. She smiles and hugs you tightly, "Awww, you are so welcome Princess, if you need another change, I'll always be happy to help you." You continue hugging for a minute or two; what do you do next?

Twenty years ago, Geoff Doidge was the classic public servant.
He was stuck in a dreary job, on a dreary salary with little prospect of advancement.
He was drowning in a sea of boredom and frustration.
When he was overlooked for promotion it was time to get out.
During a lunch break, he borrowed a book on property investing from the public library. It stirred an
awakening inside him.
Being careful and conservative, Geoff set out to learn as much about real estate as he could.
He devoured books, talked to experts, befriended real estate agents and worked on overcoming his fear of failure.
Finally, he took the plunge and bought his first investment property. Then, he bought another and another and another.
Paul Eslick was absolutely fed up with his job as the manager of a hardware store.
He slaved long hours - his lunch break and weekends belonged to the boss - and he was paid a pittance.
Paul was stuck on a treadmill.
By the time he had reached middle age Paul had paid off his house, but had little else to show
for 20 years of hard slog.
The only person who'd gotten rich from his efforts was his boss.
So, one day Paul decided to put his handyman skills to work. He borrowed against his home and
used the money for a deposit on an investment property. He took a month off work to renovate and sell it.
That's when his life changed forever.
Paul resigned from his job and went on to build a property portfolio worth millions of dollars.
Along the way, he mastered the art of cosmetic renovation.
He teamed up with Geoff Doidge to form the Reno Kings and together they created a property investing system which not only continues to make them rich but has also set many others on the road to financial freedom.
Audra and Darryn Tracy built a property portfolio worth $4 million dollars in just two years.
It earns $12,000 a month in rent.
Audra says she learnt a lot from the Reno Kings' Renovation Success Home Study Course.
"It was great value and no matter how many times I go back over it, I pick up more valuable tips for the next renovation giving us even more value adding potential"
Audra Tracy
"If you want to build your own empire - you need the tools, vision, skills and understanding. The Reno Kings will give you all of that."
" I've renovated a little house I bought following the principles I learned from the Reno Kings.
" I took my time because I was living in it but, six months later, I've just been given a valuation $110,000 above what it cost me. With a reno expense of only $25,000, that's a clear (tax free) profit of $85,000.
"I'm a single woman who had no building or renovating experience. I was straight out of a nasty and expensive divorce and was looking for a way to get back on top of things financially. It seems to have worked splendidly.
Your workshop really made a big difference and was well worth the investment. I learned where to spend my money and how to do it as cheaply as possible. No one can believe what I achieved for the money I spent. I will move onto my next project with a lot more confidence.
"I have been interested in property renovation for years and although my husband said he was interested it was only half hearted.
" I decided to go ahead without him and do the Reno Kings' home study course.
" I Started watching the videos and found them full of useful information. - too much to convey verbally to him. So, I sat him down with me to watch the videos..... well, the spark was lit!
"Learning how to do it in a structured way may have given him confidence but, what I think did the trick was watching others.
"He sat glued to the computer taking in every word - he was very impressed and kept saying "I can do that. That's easy". When we watched one video, I'd say do you want to watch the next one and he'd give a genuine enthusiastic "YEP". I was astounded. He was really interested.
" I have to congratulate the Reno Kings - you have succeeding in doing something I couldn't do and that is TURN HIM ON."
"You guys rock.
"I've been wanting to go down the property renovation path for quite some time now, but have always hesitated because of the lack of detailed knowledge about how to move forward.
No more. Your Renovation Success course has changed all that. I know that I've still got a lot to learn, but I also know that I'm now equipped with enough knowledge to get on with tackling an investment renovation, and avoiding the major pitfalls.
"The Renovation Success course has armed me with the practical knowledge and wisdom that so many property investment related books fail to provide.
Thanks guys.
"I work full time and sometimes long hours, so the course has given me the flexible learning opportunity to view the course notes, DVD's and listen in or listen later to the teleconferences in my own time.
"I have found the information very useful and inspiring and all the little tips along the way from the guest speakers are an added bonus."
""I am really enjoying the course. Even more than I thought I would."
Two of the best elements for me are the ability to ask questions. I feel very safe in asking questions allowing me to work through the hesitations I have and those fear based concerns I have.
"The other big thing for me is that it is over 5 weeks and there is a lot of motivation involved in each week being focused and looking at it and I am really, really enjoying that.

Season Recap
2016 Season Recap
- Ten games decided by a dozen or fewer points.
- Several individuals set new single-game career highs in points, rebounds, assists, and steals.
- Krista Knapke was named to the All-MIAA Second Team.
While making the transition to quarters and many other NCAA women's basketball rule changes, the Saint Mary's basketball team handled any challenges thrown their way in stride during the 2015-16 season.
With a roster no larger than ten at any given moment during the season, but Belles were resilient, scrappy, and determined from the start of the season to its end. Ten of the team's games were decided by a dozen or fewer points, and sixteen games were within 12 points or less at the halftime break this past winter. Many of the Belles' tightest games came on their home court – including a two-point loss against Anderson and a three-point setback against Olivet.
Just before finals week, the Belles' grit and determination was rewarded with a 68-56 win at home against Alma. The visiting Scots pulled within five points twice late in the game, but key plays down the stretch on both ends of the court – including a stingy defense which held Alma to 0-of-5 shooting from the floor over the final four minutes of play – carried the Belles to the conference win at Angela Athletic Facility.
In February, a historic event for the Belles basketball program took place in the team's home game against in-state MIAA rival Trine. For the first time in program history, two teammates scored their 1,000th career point in the same game as seniors Krista Knapke and Eleni Shea both hit the 1,000 career point plateau within two minutes of each other in the fourth quarter.
As a team, Saint Mary's shot over 40 percent from the floor in seven games, and the Belles had equal or fewer turnovers than their opponents 11 times during the season. Individually, several members of the squad had new levels of success in multiple statistical categories. Six Belles set new single-game career highs in points; five players had single-game high marks in rebounds; seven hit a new single-game assist plateau; and three members of the team set single-game career highs in steals during 2015-16.
Krista Knapke was recognized for her efforts by the coaches across the conference by being selected to the All-MIAA Second Team. She became the 16th player in Saint Mary's basketball history to earn All-MIAA distinctions. It was also the 15th consecutive season at least one member of the Belles basketball team has been named to either the All-MIAA First or Second Team. Additionally, a handful of other team awards were handed out at the end of season banquet in March. Knapke was named team most valuable player. Kelsey Ronan picked up the Most Improved Award while Erin Maloney was tabbed Rookie of the Year. Aspen Davis was selected as the team's Belle Award recipient for 2015-16.
Away from the court, the team continued to support causes near and dear to their hearts. In February, the Belles raised nearly $500 for the Angel Wings Fund. Angel Wings was founded by former Alma College Women's Basketball coach Keisha Brown after being diagnosed with breast cancer in 2007 and is named after her own daughter. Angel Wings was created to provide support to children who have lost a parent to cancer. In March, the team spearheaded efforts to raise money for their Team IMPACT teammate Bryanna Sikora and brought in nearly $500 to help offset some of the costs of her medical needs.

'I still fight at football,' says Peter, 43, in hushed tones in a Soho pub. 'Arsenal last season, for instance. There have been years when I've been trying to wind it down – I'm a respectable man – but we were at the Emirates and I'd gone to watch the football and you've got 57,000 pissed-off home fans and 3,000 delirious Tottenham rivals.
I had to fight every step of the way down the Holloway Road to Highbury Corner. It was like Beirut. And I f***ing loved it! You can buy a pill or a line any time you want, but imagine if you could only take them twice a season. Or only have a drink twice a season. That's what the buzz is like. You get given the dates every August and you have to wait months, counting off the weekends. I still get my rocks off when we walk outside the station, there's 40 or 50 of us, there's police all around – I feel 10 foot tall.' Peter is a football hooligan but he's not the stereotype of a drunken England fan smashing up a stadium; he keeps himself fit, loves his wife and daughters and works in a senior position in television.
He's not alone. These days football violence is more likely to be meted out by successful media types, bankers and businessmen than rangy kids from council estates. They'll have contacts in the music industry, membership of private clubs and a decent pension plan. Why? Peter talks about violence the way Alcoholics Anonymous members talk about drinking – as something beautiful and addictive and almost born within him.
City boy and Millwall fan Gary, who has been in rehab for five years – coming off the cocaine and the booze – agrees, and says that giving up fighting is the hardest thing of all. 'It's an addiction just like alcohol, drugs and fags,' he explains. 'You ask any ex-hooligan what the best drug they've ever used is and I guarantee they will say football violence.'
With Euro 2012 on the way, the papers are full of panicky stories about the Polish authorities combing hooligan databases, neo-Nazi groups ambushing peaceful fans and riots stopping games. You could have read the same headlines for international football tournaments at any time over the last 30 years. But this time round the difference is that it's not English fans expected to cause the trouble, its Poles and Ukranians. Last season saw the lowest number of arrests at English league games since records began in 1985 in part because most of the scraps taking place between rival groups of fans happen miles from the ground and are rarely spotted by the media. 2010's battle between Chelsea's notorious Headhunters hooligan firm and Cardiff City's Soul Crew was the rare exception – a sprawling fight between the two firms spilled on to the King's Road, leading to police horse charges, high-profile arrests and jail sentences.
'The last time I was out it was towards Surrey Quays, Millwall vs West Ham,' says Ian, a media lawyer and member of West Ham's Inter City Firm (ICF). When he says Millwall vs West Ham, he's not talking about the teams on the pitch, he's describing the hooligan clash. 'We'd arranged to meet. The boys phoned each other and agreed on this car park in an industrial estate. Everyone was over the age of 30, had several children, a Daewoo estate and much nicer clothing than a poxy Tacchini tracksuit ever was. There was a top DJ, an author, two journalists, a broker, a former pop star, two major... er... "businessmen", a City tech-analyst and no doubt many more who were never meant to make anything of themselves. It was quite a pleasant meeting, a kind of impromptu outdoors social club punctuated by incessant mobile usage to track the other firm.' In the end, there was a brief tussle.
It's all a far cry from the 1970s and 1980s terrace battles or pitch invasions, when rival supporters in tightly organised gangs and sometimes with professional calling cards (those beaten up by West Ham's hooligans famously woke up to find embossed cards bearing the legend 'Congratulations. You have just met the ICF') fought each other for a few inches of ground in crumbling soccer stadiums. Membership of a firm was open to anyone who supported the team and was prepared to fight for it, but a close-knit group of long-serving, battle-hardened and often style-conscious 'top boys' organised away trips and meeting points, acting as generals, issuing tactical instructions and insisting wannabe recruits prove their mettle.
Most of the time, the top boys were also the best dressed, setting the agenda for the rapidly moving world of 'casuals' fashion. When using the terms hooligan and casuals it's important to tread with care. Football firms were (and still can be) sprawling groups comprising hardcore hoolies as well as plenty of softer-core members more interested in the clothes and the music – the casuals. Casuals wore high-end labels and expensive sportswear as a deliberately subversive challenge, much like Mods wearing Savile Row suits in the 1960s. As 1980s boom money flowed into the pockets of newly minted City boys and entrepreneurs, many took great delight in buying up racks of clothes from boutiques that would have thrown them out two years earlier.
'Most of the terraces would be casuals,' explains Banno, a leading member of Arsenal's hooligan firm The Herd. 'But if you saw a bloke in higher-end clobber like a Barbour, Sebago boating shoes, or Church's shoes, he'd see himself as the top end of the terrace, unlike those wearing CP jackets and Reebok Classics who were more your thug types.'
'Saturday afternoons on the terraces were like catwalks for the working classes,' explains Gary Aspden, Adidas designer and Blackburn fan. One former casual, Ed, now a highly paid marketing consultant, agrees: 'What used to amaze me was how quickly things changed. If you look at the jeans alone, football fans went from skintight to flares to bell bottoms to tapered to 501s and on to baggy in a short period. I remember showing up one week in Tacchini, feeling proud of my label and seeing three top boys come round the corner in Burberry jackets, wearing deerstalker hats and carrying walking sticks, and realising Tacchini was over. Instantly.'
Fusing masculine rituals, expensive fashion, a love of music and belief in a cause meant football firms' top boys inspired a curious devotion in firm members. Take the funeral of Dainton 'The Bear' Connell in 2007, security man for the Pet Shop Boys and a top boy in Arsenal's firm. Among those mourning his death in a Moscow car crash were the former Arsenal players Ian Wright and Lee Dixon, Frank Bruno, Pet Shop Boys Chris Lowe and Neil Tennant, the Madness frontman Carl Smyth, the artist Sam Taylor-Wood, Janet Street-Porter, Matt Lucas and David Walliams. Robbie Williams sent flowers. Connell had left school at 16 to take up scaffolding and was briefly famous when he gave an interview to Janet Street-Porter claiming to be the 'first black skinhead on the Arsenal terraces'. It was Connell who claimed the word Gooner for Arsenal fans, originally a taunt, and who led charges at Highbury stadium's Clock End to 'take' ground held by away supporters. He chased National Front recruiters off the Arsenal terraces and was credited for the failure of the movement to infiltrate the Arsenal firm in the late 1970s. He went on to appear in videos for the Pet Shop Boys, an unlikely fusion wrought in the illicit raves of the late 1980s.
As acid house spread through the UK in 1988 and 1989, football firms became more interested in raving than rucking. Heading to nights at Shoom (in a studio near where Tate Modern is today) or the nearby underground acid house club Clink Street (where Boy George's hard-as-nails brother Kevin worked on the door), casuals and gay men, united by a love of dance music and ecstasy, rubbed shoulders, entrancing the likes of the Pet Shop Boys and cementing a link that would last more than 20 years.
Since then, the boys from the terraces have grown up and out into culture, making music, writing books, producing films, television, theatre and fine art. Some believe it was inevitable. Banno, for instance, a well-known stage actor in his early fifties, has written two well-received plays and produced documentaries for Channel 4. He's sure he became an actor because 'being a top boy is about fame, attention and recognition; wanting to be a face. That's something you never lose, you just apply it to other walks of life.'
It seems strange, I venture, to phone someone, chat to them, arrange to meet them and then try to beat the living daylights out of them – then, a few weeks later, do it all again. 'We're all the underground has got left,' Banno shrugs. 'Everything else has been co-opted. The local pub has gone, the community has gone, all you've got is your firm and it's only another firm that can understand that. At Dainton's funeral we had wreaths from the ICF and Tottenham's Yid Army and we had boys coming down from every city to march behind his coffin. What we represent – and what fascinates all these artists – is simple: we're the unity of the opposite, the outsider united.'
The ICF ended up running the pirate radio acid house station, Centre Force. Boy's Own magazine, launched in 1988, was also a product of the football/rave fusion, led by the DJ and Chelsea casual Terry Farley. Boy's Own was about music, fashion, slang, football and drugs. In the first issue it summed up its audience: 'We are aiming at the boy (or girl) who one day stands on the terraces, the next stands in a sweaty club, and the day after stays in and reads Brendan Behan while listening to Run-DMC.' The magazine later launched the record label Junior Boy's Own which went on to introduce the Chemical Brothers, Underworld and the Black Science Orchestra to the world.
The 2008 Turner Prize winner Mark Leckey spent his youth on the stands at Everton and became a casual. 'It was a working-class style, a genuine subculture. It was a kind of drag, a disguise. A means of using style to transform yourself,' he says.
The 48-year-old's 1999 video essay Fiorucci Made Me Hardcore was compiled from 1970s and 1980s film footage, much of it from a Thames Television documentary on the ICF called Hooligan.
Other ex-hooligans include Game of Thrones star Sean Bean, who was a fully tattooed-up member of Sheffield United's hoolie firm the Blades Business Crew, Beautiful South and The Housemartins founder Paul Heaton (a fellow Blade), and Noel Gallagher ran with Manchester City's firm. Even the opera singer (and Oxford graduate) Mark Glanville confessed to years clashing on Millwall's terraces in his autobiography Goldberg Variations.
Reformed hoolies have become business leaders as well. One of Manchester United's former top boys (now a Buddhist) runs a significant chunk of Ibiza's wholesale food supplies. Ian Davies, who once adorned the front page of the Daily Mail as 'Britain's richest football hooligan' now runs a wine bar in Dorset's Sandbanks, one of the most expensive areas of real estate in the world. Flight Options, which handles travel to football games and had a significant contract with FIFA for World Cup flights to South Africa, was founded by a former member of The Herd. And the recent rash of hooligan memoirs such as The Football Factory and England Away has produced almost 100 kick-lit books name-checking more than 150 hooligan firms; two of the publishing houses dominating the hit-and-tell genre, Headhunter Books and Pennant Books, are run by former hooligans: Chelsea's Martin King and West Ham's Cass Pennant.
'I'm not surprised you've got the boys out there running things,' says Jeff, 45, a former ICF member turned international accountant. 'After the trouble of the late 1970s got the law's attention, anyone involved in an 1980s crew would have to have the best organisational skills you can imagine. And they were all doing deals, whether that be scallies nicking trainers from German stores and selling them back in Liverpool, firms sorting their own transport or, in the late 1980s, crews who ran raves and did a bit of dealing. Lots of using your initiative. It was no business school, but you learned a lot.' ES

Cleveland Clinic Foundation, Cleveland, OH
Brochodilator (BD) response is frequently requested in lung transplant patients. In earlier studies, bronchial hyperreactivity, as determined by BD response and methacholine challenge, has been shown to correlate with the development of Bronchiolitis Obliterans (BO) and BO Syndrome (BOS), however, these studies were limited by small sample size, small numbers of single lung transplants (SLT) and the evolution of transplant medicine since completion. We reviewed data to determine if BD response predicts BOS in single and double lung transplants.
Data from 432 patients, transplanted from 1991-2005, were reviewed. Exclusion criteria included expiration within one year of transplant, follow up less than one year and anastomotic stenosis. All patients had serial spirometry per protocol pre and post albuterol MDI. BD response was determined by current ATS guidelines. BOS was determined by decline in FEV1 as per current ISHLT criteria. Data were analyzed using the chi-squared test.
221 patients met criteria. SLT was performed in 141 (63.8%) patients. 31/221(14%) patients had a significant BD response. 12/31 (38.7%) patients in the BD responder group developed BOS vs. 45/145 (31%) of non-responders. The difference was not significant (p=0.484). In SLT, 8/24 (33%) with BD response developed BOS vs. 29/119 (24.4%) non-responders (p=0.84). There were no significant associations between BD response and single vs. double lung transplantation (p=0.394). COPD was the pre-transplant diagnosis in 12/24 SLT patients with BD response vs. 21/90 SLT patients without BD response (p=0.084).
In this study BD response was not associated with the development of BOS in DLT or SLT transplant patients. COPD was more commonly associated with BD response in SLT patients, though this difference was not significant.
BD response appears to have limited clinical utility in predicting BOS.

Always use USPS for tracking since Japanpost tracking doesn't always reflect where is the package once it arrives in the US. I have no clue what class mail SAL is considered once it arrives in the US - is still considered part of bulk mail or first class?

Could be first class but then again I could be wrong.
SAL has been iffy for me at times. I've gotten things quicker than I though I would and other times it's been a bit longer. My last order shipped from AmiAmi was two weeks ago August 30th. I got the item 8 days later on September 7th. I figured it would have been longer because of Labor Day.
I've also gotten stuff in 6 days from SAL. I really use EMS I've used it like 3 times now and my next order I had to change to EMS since I would to have it in my hands before the first Friday of October.
I get an error message trying to view it. I feel bad now that I waited since I didn't get to see it. I was really curious as to what it was.

That's what I wonder now...what class mail is SAL considered once it reaches the country you live in. First class would be nice.
Whenver I used regular SAL, it takes like 2.5 weeks, but I've never used registered SAL (takes shorter time?). I pretty much used EMS exclusively since it's so quick unless I'm ordering a bunch of books/magazines (usually, I'll turn to Amazon and add a lot so the shipping cost per item is low).

While I don't collect anime figures myself, mainly due to lack of funds, I do find them interesting and thus try to check this thread when I remember to. And thus, I have a burning question: just what is this "sudsy Hinako" figure Blood- keeps mentioning? Also, Blood-, now that you finally have the figure, what are your hands on impre--.... errr... what are your impressions of it?

Sudsy Hinako
I love her. She comes with five separate strands of suds, but I could only figure out where four of them go. I think one is supposed to hang down the front of the bucket from the general direction of her Holy of Holies, but for the life of me I can't figure out how it is supposed to be attached to the bucket.

So it seems there's a new line of figures called "Cu-poche" coming out(here's their first figure). They seem to be going for the Nendoroid style, but taller to allow for heavy articulation. This could potentially be very interesting, especially if the magnets can be abused to stick it on a fridge.
Actually, that could possibly be a good selling point - "I love figures but I've run out of places to put them!" "Not if you've got a fridge you haven't!".

Yeah, Rorona has been in New York for a week now.
And on the eighth day, tracking says she's out of New York, and in New Hampshire, of all places. (I don't live in New England.)

I've been so lazy about unboxing stuff lately.
So like a month ago I got Tiger & Bunny - Keith Goodman Figuarts Zero from Big in Japan:
He comes with a swappable arm w/bouquet and hand with a single rose.
...And about 2 weeks ago I got Tiger & Bunny - Ivan Karelin Figuarts Zero (also from BiJ):
He comes with an alternate smiling face but I prefer him scowling.
(He's really pretty. In fact, I keep thinking he looks like Heartbreaker-era G-Dragon if you tousled his hair a bit, so I'm extra-happy with him...)
And last but not least from HobbySearch, the Tiger & Bunny Styling set of 4 (visors down & visors up):
Their bases slide neatly into one another (ahem) so they can stand back to back on their sponsor's logo.
Yesterday I got a sizeable box from AmiAmi too, so I'll have something for next week (assuming I don't put it off for a month or something).

Some recent figures which have caught my eye:
Ikaruga from the game and upcoming anime Senran Kagura. Not the most striking figure visually but she'll be a good companion for Hibari who I already have on preorder, and for whatever reason I taken a liking to this francise.
I was mildly interested in this Kirino Kousaka from Kotobukiya, but she sold out in only 2-3 days after she was listed a week or two ago. Didn't realize Kirino was THAT popular.
Then, there is this Nendoroid Petite TYPE-MOON Collection Box. A decent way to get some figures of lesser characters who may not get a scaled figure or who I may not like enough to want one. Although, 3 Sabers in this box? Just go and make one that's nothing but Saber, already.
And finally, this Female Swordsman Bario X Nendoroid from the Monster Hunter games. Not the biggest fan on the games but I really do like the armor designs they come up with.

After about two and a half weeks after placing the order, including a few days when it looked like the local post office had mislaid the package, my Rorona has arrived. Actually a video game-related figure rather than an anime-related figure.

I got her not long ago when AmiAmi restocked her and she's become one of my favorite figures. All the details on the figure are really well done (like the detailing on her hat, the clear parts on her staff and necklace, and the fact that the flasks on her belt actually can be moved around). I'm hoping that Megahouse will eventually do a Meruru; I have Rorona displayed next to Phat's Totori, and Megahouse wins this contest hands down in terms of quality.

Goddammit, Alter!
They keep delaying their figures, which keeps mucking up my orders. First, Kneesocks was delayed twice, which kept dragging out my Anaru Beach Queen and BRS Figma. Then since Kneesocks was delayed into early September, I decided to go ahead and combine it and my other figures with Stocking and Sena, which were coming out later in the month. Now, Sena recently came in stock, but Stocking has been delayed to late October. fudge it. I'm not waiting another month for any of those figures; Anaru has been available since July. I just asked AmiAmi to split of Stocking and combine it with my order for October, which contains another Alter figure, Menma. Their quality better be worth it.

I've had many an alter figure go through a few, 2-3, delays in the past myself. In most of my cases it got delayed at the last second as well. I expect it to be shipping and like the day of, or day before, is when they pop up the delayed message. Buggers.
