Wnt4 and the canonical Wnt signaling pathway are essential for ostia formation in Drosophila
dSETDB1 is required for the expression of a Wnt ligand, Drosophila Wingless type mouse mammary virus integration site number 4 (dWnt4) in the somatic niche.
this study identifies a transcriptional switch involving the kinase Btk29A/Btk and its phosphorylation target, beta-catenin, which functions downstream of Wnt4 in escort cells to terminate Drosophila germ cell proliferation through up-regulation of piwi expression.
Wg and Wnt4 act redundantly in planar cell polarity determination in Drosophila.
We re-evaluated the expression pattern of DWnt4 during embryogenesis and show that transcripts are not restricted to the dorsal ectoderm but are also present in the cardiogenic mesoderm.
In Drosophila, Otk interacts with Wnt4 and opposes canonical Wnt signalling in embryonic patterning.
DWnt4 regulates cell movement and focal adhesion kinase during Drosophila ovarian morphogenesis.
DWnt4 antagonizes the polarizing effect of four-jointed
in DWnt4 mutants, ventral retinal axons misprojected to the dorsal lamina
Results suggest that the Wnt4 gene encodes signals that are important for various aspects of female reproductive tract development.
Our functional study revealed that WNT4 molecules were involved in regulating zygotic cleavage and early embryogenesis
Data indicate that a balance between supporting cell (show PTPRJ Proteins) self-renewal and differentiation is maintained in the developing ovary by relative Wnt4 protein/beta-catenin (show CTNNB1 Proteins) and p27Kip1 (show CDKN1B Proteins) protein (p27 (show CDKN1B Proteins))/Forkhead box L2 (FOXL2 (show FOXL2 Proteins)) activities.
decreased expression of Wnt4 in the aging thymus may be one of the molecular triggers underlying the process of age-related thymic senescence.
Mir (show MLXIP Proteins)-29c regulates WNT4 signaling.
Wnt4 is essential to normal mammalian lung development.
RSPO1 (show RSPO1 Proteins), WNT4, and beta-catenin (show CTNNB1 Proteins) have roles in the signaling pathway during ovarian differentiation in mice.
The Runx-1 (show RUNX1 Proteins) gene can be a Wnt-4 signalling target, and that Runx-1 (show RUNX1 Proteins) and Wnt-4 are mutually interdependent in their expression.
Progesterone and Wnt4 control stem cell function through a luminal-myoepithelial crosstalk with Wnt4 acting independent of progesterone receptor (show PGR Proteins) perinatally.
study presents for the first time that estrogen regulates Egr1 (show EGR1 Proteins) expression through LIF (show LIF Proteins)-STAT3 (show STAT3 Proteins) signaling pathway in mouse uterus, and Egr1 (show EGR1 Proteins) functions as a critical mediator of stromal cell decidualization by regulating Wnt4
The WNT4 expression level in eutopic endometrium was significantly reduced compared with that in normal endometrium of the control group.
Studied the roles of WNT4 and WNT5A (show WNT5A Proteins) in human decidulization and their relationship with preeclampsia.
Polymorphisms on WNT4 gene might be involved in the pathogenesis of endometriosis in the infertile women.
the expression of WNT4, a Wnt (show WNT2 Proteins) ligand, and three targets of Wnt (show WNT2 Proteins)-ss-catenin transcription activation, namely, MMP7 (show MMP7 Proteins), cyclinD1 (CD1 (show CD1A Proteins)) and c-MYC (show MYC Proteins) in 141 penile tissue cores from 101 unique samples, were investigated.
The results demonstrated that WNT4 rs2235529 is associated with endometriosis in Chinese Han women, which may result in aberrant expression of WNT4, leading to the pathogenesis of endometriosis.
Wnt4 might be a key gene during parathyroid hormone (show PTH Proteins)-induced epithelial mesenchymal transformation of proximal kidney tubule cells.
The 5'-flanking region of the Wnt4 gene is responsive to Pax8 (show PAX8 Proteins). Pax8 (show PAX8 Proteins) modulates the expression of Wnt4 in thyroid cells.
Our results suggest that the rs10965235 SNP in the CDKN2B (show CDKN2B Proteins)-AS gene and the rs16826658 SNP near the WNT4 gene were significantly associated with endometriosis in this Korean population.
We report an adolescent girl with the cardinal (show CARD8 Proteins) features of MURCS association, obesity, and clinical findings of hyperandrogenism who did not show any exonic mutation of the WNT4 gene
identified Wnt4 as the ligand that is expressed in the mesoderm of the ventral blood island and is essential for the expression of hematopoietic and erythroid marker genes
XWntless and the Retromer complex are required for the efficient secretion of XWnt4, facilitating its role in Xenopus eye development
Study shows that Wnt-4 acts through the Notch (show NOTCH1 Proteins) effector gene hrt1 (show HEY1 Proteins) by upregulating expression of wnt4; Wnt-4 then patterns the proximal pronephric anlagen to establish the specific compartments that span the medio-lateral axis.
single inhibition of melatonin receptor 1 or Wnt-4 expression decreased expression of neurogenesis-related genes, and bovine amniotic epithelial cell-derived neural cells were successfully colonized into injured spinal cord, which suggested participation in tissue repair.
Data show that in vivo, wnt11r (show WNT11 Proteins) and wnt4a initiate MuSK (show MUSK Proteins) translocation from muscle membranes to recycling endosomes and that this transition is crucial for AChR accumulation at future synaptic sites.
Data show that injury-dependent induction of Ascl1a suppressed expression of the Wnt (show WNT2 Proteins) signaling inhibitor, Dkk (show DKK1 Proteins), and induced expression of the Wnt (show WNT2 Proteins) ligand, Wnt4a.
Findings provide the first convincing line of evidence that EAF and Wnt4 form an auto-regulatory negative feedback loop in vivo.
three Wnt (show WNT2 Proteins) noncanonical ligands wnt4a, silberblick/wnt11 (show WNT11 Proteins), and wnt11 (show WNT11 Proteins)-related regulate the process of convergence of endoderm and organ precursors toward the embryonic midline by acting in a largely redundant way
The WNT gene family consists of structurally related genes which encode secreted signaling proteins. These proteins have been implicated in oncogenesis and in several developmental processes, including regulation of cell fate and patterning during embryogenesis. This gene is a member of the WNT gene family, and is the first signaling molecule shown to influence the sex-determination cascade. It encodes a protein which shows 98% amino acid identity to the Wnt4 protein of mouse and rat. This gene and a nuclear receptor known to antagonize the testis-determining factor play a concerted role in both the control of female development and the prevention of testes formation. This gene and another two family members, WNT2 and WNT7B, may be associated with abnormal proliferation in breast tissue. Mutations in this gene can result in Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome and in SERKAL syndrome.

Nick Schrager
William A. "Billy" Webb is a sick man, but he's not letting the illness or stress bring him down.
The 62-year-old, who was diagnosed with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia in 2011, is all smiles, even when recalling the worst moments of the cancer that affects him to this day.
"It's one disease you just deal with and go on," Billy said, "and eventually it'll do me in, but until then, I'm going to laugh."
Johnnie Hardin, a long-serving Springfield City Councilman, has passed away.
Hardin passed away June 15 at the Bluegrass Hospice Care Center in Lexington. He's known for his time on the Springfield City Council, as well as spending more than 50 years in the grocery business here.
Springfield Mayor Debbie Wakefield remembered Hardin as a dedicated soul who loved the city and the people he served.
Young boys and girls interested in golf got the chance to test and improve their skills last week at Lincoln Homestead State Park.
A junior golf clinic was held June 5-8 for boys and girls between the ages of 12-14 at the golf course. Park Manager Bobby Bartholomai said he started the clinic to give kids the chance to get out on the course to play golf and help them improve their skillsets.
"We do it every year, I try to do it right after they get out of school," Bartholomai said. "Normally the first full week of June."
It ended with a crowd swarming to catch a closer look – and maybe photo of – 2018's Distinguished Young Woman Saturday night.
Sarah Downs, 17, daughter of Elaine and the late Stephen Downs, was given the title after winning awards for fitness, spirit, self expression, interviewing and preliminary scholastics during the 44th annual event.
"Oh, my gosh," Downs said. "I'm on top of the world right now."
She said she was elated when she heard her name called, but was nervous at the same time.
It was like something that came straight out of someone's worst nightmare.
Springfield K-9 officer Nick Holmes carefully made his way into a nondescript building and through the halls with his patrol rifle. Step by step, he tiptoed around the body of a victim as the loud crack of gunshots echoed from deeper within, getting louder with each passing breath.
Without warning, a woman who came running for help was grabbed across the chest by a gunman and used as a human shield.
Baseball is a tough and demanding sport, and many are passionate in their love for the game. While some devote their time to playing on the field, others offer their services in other ways, such as coaching and officiating. This is what Joey Spalding, the vice president and loan officer at Springfield State Bank, has devoted his free time to since the early 2000s.
"I've been around baseball a long time," Spalding said.
Washington County Schools
A former Washington County Commanderette is returning as the high school's new principal.
According to Washington County Schools Superintendent Robin Cochran, Malissa "Missy" Hutchins of Harrodsburg has been named principal of Washington County High School.
For many, baseball is a hobby. People who love baseball will do anything to be around it, regardless of whether it puts them on the field or in the stands. This is exactly why Felix Keene became a Little League umpire more than 30 years ago.
"It's always been a hobby of mine," he said. "I played all sports growing up, but baseball was my main one."
Heavenly Treasurers Presbyterian Mission Store in Springfield is helping people in need, one sale at a time.
The store, which is run by the Springfield Presbyterian Church, operates by selling donated goods and putting the profits back into the community.
Beverly Bonzo and Zoie Covert run the store on Main Street, which is open Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Students at Washington County High School and Commander Academy will soon have the option of receiving a hot meal at no cost.
Washington County Schools Superintendent Robin Cochran said the high school and academy will join Washington County Elementary School, Washington County Middle School and North Washington School this fall in the Community Eligibility Provision program. The program is part of the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 and schools are reimbursed for providing breakfast and lunch free of charge.

Former strongman declares bid for Nigeria presidency
By Camillus Eboh
ABUJA (Reuters) - Former Nigerian military ruler Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday declared his candidacy for presidential elections in April, pledging to clamp down on corruption and review the country's privatisation plans.
Buhari's reputation as a disciplinarian and a popular perception that he is cleaner than many in the political elite could make him the main opposition candidate to run against the ruling People's Democratic Party (PDP) nominee.
President Goodluck Jonathan is broadly considered the front runner in the ruling party primaries, due by mid-January, but faces a tough battle against former Vice President Atiku Abubakar.
Buhari, the military ruler of Africa's most populous nation for 20 months between 1983-85, lamented what he described as "pervasive corruption" in the years since the end of military rule just over a decade ago.
The PDP candidate has won every election since then.
"Alas, after almost 12 years of our democratic experience, the administration's record is a catalogue of betrayal and thoroughly squandered opportunities," Buhari said in a speech announcing his candidacy on the platform of the opposition Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) party.
He said Nigeria should be a democratic example in the West African region, leading its economic progress.
Buhari came to power in 1983 in an almost bloodless New Year's eve coup that ended Nigeria's second attempt at democracy. His iron-fisted administration is best remembered for its austerity measures, the jailing of politicians on corruption charges and the execution of drug traffickers. Continued...

Jehovah God, I come to you in this prayer to ask you some questions. Will it be the same....when he is gone? When I am king? When I am leader? When I must show the other dogs and the new puppies right from wrong? Will it ever be the same again? I do not know.... Maybe I am not fit to be king, but everyone says that I am....we'll just have to wait and see. They samy I'm wise, they say I'm smart, they say I will make a good leader....but who wants a sad leader? Buffy is my best friend and I don't know how I am going to live without him. Please let me heal when he is gone, let me be as great as him. In the name of Christ Jesus, Amen.
There are different types of abandonment----------1)You never think of it unil it happens. Your master takes your favorite toy and leads you in the car. You don't know what will happen do you? He throws your favorite toy and you play fetch together. Then he throws it once more. Farther then usual but you don't mind, you go to get it. When you come back what do you see? You don't see your master do you? No. All you see is your car driving away. 2)You sit at home and your master puts your leash on. You think you are going for a walk don't you? Well your not. Your master sets you on the side of the street and tells you to stay. He tells you that he'll be back, but will he? No, he doesn't want you anymore. He walks away never to be seen by you again. 3)You master puts you in the car. He tells you that you two are going for a nice ride together. Your not. There are two ways he could do this. He will either open the door and set you down, or drop you out the window. Either way he is just going to leave you right after you hit the ground. 4)You sit at home every day waiting for your master to get home don't you? Remember the last day he was there? He said, " I am going shopping I will be back in a few hours! Ok?" He never came home did he? Did you notice all his things are gone? How you never here his phone ring anymore? His friends never come over anymore do they? He left you. He abandoned you. He either didn't want you anymore or couldn't take care of you. But think for just a minute....if he really cared about you....wouldn't he at least taken you to the shelter or give you to a friend if he couldn't take care of you anymore? He would wouldn't he? Yes....he would have....but he didn't. 5)No dog would ever expect this. Your master lets you outside. You go do your business, bury a bone, bark at a squirrel, chase the neighbors cat. It seems like a normal day right? Well what do you think happens when you go to scratch at the door? That's right....no one lets you in. Why? They don't want you to come in. They are not going to give you food or water or shelter. They have abandoned you.----------Now, there are different ways an animal could react to abandonment.----------1)Just run and never stop. 2)Find a new home that will love you. 3)Take care of yourself. 4)Let the dog catcher take you away. 5)Wait for your beloved master who will never return.----------You see why we animals do not like abandonment? A person who doesn't care would say: "Oh they have no feelings, they can take perfectly good care of themselves! Who cares?" A person who cared would say: "They have feelings, they need us to lend a helping hand to them. We must stop this!!!!" Who knows, some of us may not have feelings. Does that mean we can't learn how to love? We are able to take care of ourselves! Does that mean we don't need any help at all? Most of us do have feelings! Does that mean we must learn to feel less? Most of us do not think we need a helping hand! Does that mean we can't take one if offered?----------Please help stop abandonment!!!! I was one of the lucky few who were rescued. Most of us were rescued and have good homes now. For many, help came too late. With everyones help we have a chance to stop this!!!! Please help abandoned pets around the world please!!!! ----Rosco Boaz Carpenter(a rescued mutt)

Funeral services for retired Maj. Gen. Stewart Meyer, of Harker Heights, will be at 12:30 p.m. Friday at St. Christopher's Episcopal Church in Killeen. Burial with full military honors will follow at 3 p.m. at Central Texas State Veterans Cemetery.
Mr. Meyer died Dec. 31, 2012, at Metroplex Hospital. He was born April 14, 1921, in El Paso, son of an Army brigadier general who fought with General Pershing along the Mexican border.
He led a full, rich and heroic life. He served God, the nation, his family and his community with honor and energy. He earned the respect and love of all who met him.
Mr. Meyer graduated from the U.S. Military Academy in the war-shortened class of 1943 in January 1943 and soon deployed with the 3rd Armored Division to the European Theater of Operations.
In service to the nation, he served in combat in three wars, World War II, Korea, and Vietnam, earning the Silver Star for gallantry, Purple Heart for wounds, five Bronze Stars and numerous other awards.
In World War II, he led men in combat across France and into Germany. Among his most traumatic experiences, he once said, was rescuing the prisoners in a Nazi death camp. It still brought tears to his eyes more than 60 years later.
In his career of 36 years, he also served at the Pentagon, and as commander of the Operational Test Command at West Fort Hood. His final assignment was as commander of the Ballistic Missile Defense Command.
After his retirement, he served as a community leader in many organizations. He was mayor of the city of Harker Heights from 1993 to 1997 when he was the catalyst for modernizing the city.
He was senior warden of St. Christopher's Episcopal Church, president of the Kiwanis Club, vice president of the Central Texas College Foundation, chairman of the Fort Hood Retiree Council from 1984 to 2001, and a member of the Rotary Clubs of Harker Heights and Killeen Heights.
He was particularly proud of organizing the Get Out the Vote Committee in 1986, encouraging citizens to get involved in their communities. In recent years, he also enjoyed presiding over the Annual Founders Day Banquet of the Heart of Texas West Point Society as the "Oldest Grad."
Mr. Meyer's military awards and decorations include the Distinguished Service Medal, the Silver Star, the Legion of Merit with one oak leaf cluster, the Bronze Star with V device, and five oak leaf clusters, Air Medal (16 awards), Army Commendation Medal with oak leaf cluster, the Purple Heart, American Campaign Medal, European African Middle Eastern Campaign Medal, WWII Victory Medal, Army Occupation Medal (Germany), National Defense Service Medal with oak leaf cluster, Korean Service Medal, Vietnam Service Medal with five campaign stars, United Nations Service Medal, Vietnam Campaign Medal, Senior Parachutist Badge, Republic of Vietnam Cross of Gallantry with palm, Office of the Secretary of Defense Identity badge, General Staff Identity Badge.
His wartime combat campaigns included Normandy, Northern France, Rhineland, Central Europe, Vietnam Counter Offensive Phases II, III, VII, TET Counteroffensive 1969 and Sanctuary Counteroffensive.
He was a man of deep religious beliefs and ironclad integrity. He was a strong believer in his Christian faith and in the ultimate power of prayer.
Survivors include Mari, his beloved wife of almost 33 years; three daughters, Ann Parker and her husband, Jerome, of North Carolina, Margaret Surdyk and her husband, Thomas, of Virginia and Catherine Meyer-Seligman and her husband, Steven, of Connecticut; three stepsons, Luis Jac Morton and his wife, Janiva, of Texas, Parker Meyer and his wife, Deanna, of Florida and John Morton of Texas; and a stepdaughter, Leslie Green and her husband, Brady, of Texas.
Visitation is from 5 to 7 p.m. today at Crawford-Bowers Funeral Home in Killeen, which is in charge of arrangements. Offer condolences at www.crawfordbowersfuneralhome.com.

Our Dear Mickey,
You left us one year ago today. That was the morning we will never forget, the call we received from the emergency vet that no pet pawrent wants to hear. You left us physically,but you will never leave our hearts, ever.
Sadie misses you so much. She hasn't been the same since the day you left the house and never came back. You two were brother and sister and best friends since the day we brought her home when she was 6 weeks old. She tries to be the protective one now like you were. Of course, you were the best protector ever and I never was afraid to lay my head down and go to sleep when your dad was gone with you there, or be out after dark when you would ride places with me.
Your little brother Turkey is quite a handful. He gives the girls a hard time. Him and Sparkles will play and get wound up and Sadie will play referee like you would with her and Sparkles. I can only imagine how you and him would of played together and how you would of make him walk the line like you did everyone else in the house. But you can never be replaced, never.
We know you are in no more pain now and running free, but it doesn't take away the pain in our hearts of losing you. That pain will always be there.
We love you Mickey and we always will. You will always be in our hearts and never forgotten.
Love always,
Dad, Mom, Sadie, Sparkles, Turkey, & The cats
Our dear Mickey,
It's been nearly 6 months since you left us. We are still very sad. Sadie has still not gotten over you leaving. She still stays sad. Your new little brother is something else. He has so many ways like you it is unbeilevable. Sometimes we think he has a little angel named mickey on his shoulder showing him the ropes.
You sissy Sparkles has been sick with her leg. She tore her right rear acl. She is on medication right now and may require surjery. We told her when she went for her tests to not be afraid because you would take care of her. Sadie freaked out when she wasn't there all day at the house with her. We think she thought she had left like you did.
Your human great-papaw still talks about what a good dog you were and how much your human great-grandma loved you. He's right. In her eyes, there was no dog like you. She thought you were all of it and you were.
Turkey has been riding the boat with daddy and as soon as Sparkles leg is better me, her and Sadie will join your daddy and Turkey. We can't take just one girl and leave the other at home. That just wouldn't be fair. I remember how the day before you got sick I had went and bought your life jacket.
Your daddy just could not wait to get you out in the boat as that is what you loved to do. I miss all the little things you done. Running down the hill to my car to great me, riding the golf cart and playing referee between Sadie and Sparkles. Our memories of you are so precious and everything seems like yesterday. I can still say your name and Sadie looks for you. I told your daddy if you walked through the kitchen door right now she would never quit jumping and woo wooing as we called it. She loved her big brother. She tries to play referee between Sparkles and Turkey now.
We love Mickey forever. You will never, never ever be forgotten.
Mommy, Daddy, Sadie, Sparkles, Turkey, Sally, Boots & Festus
We lost our beloved Mickey on Oct. 2nd, 2006 after he became ill suddenly. He was the protector of our little family. He always looked after his sister's, Sadie & Sparkles, and kept them in line when he thought their playing was getting a little out of hand. He rarely had any confrontation with Sally but kept Festus on a short leash. He is deeply missed but will never be forgotten. We know he is always in our hearts. Sadie misses him dearly as she was with him all but the first six weeks of her life and she is now 9 yrs old. She misses you Mickey.

As a McLaren fan, I've been wanting to add this watch to my collection for a while now. This was the last NIB left in Canada, and surprisingly, it's got a very low serial #. Just arrived at my AD today.
Shot with my crappy iPhone. I'm waiting on the FT6007 rubber strap and clasp, not a fan of metal bracelets at all. Will shoot some real pics once the replacement strap shows up.

I added a free service that you might be interested in. This service will help you to get Twitter followers for free.
I set this up for myself, but I thought I would share it with my readers. I have been adding about 30 followers per day to my Twitter account using this script.
The basic idea is that if you follow other people then many of them will end up following you back. I have a little script that will automatically allow you to follow others based on key words. The program searches Twitter based on the key words you enter. It will then automatically make you a follower of up to 100 of these people. And about 30% of those people will follow you back.
The link is below and in the sidebar in the "My Friends & Network" section.
Get Twitter Followers by 1913 Intel
To run the script you will need to enter your Twitter username and password. I do not store these, so don't worry. Next enter your key words. For example, Israel war.
The script can take a minute to run depending on how fast Twitter is running. Also, there is some output at the bottom of the screen that you can ignore.
After the script is finished check your Twitter account. You should notice that you are now following more people. The number varies, but will be no more than 100 people.
You can run the script over and over, but I recommend that you do not follow more than 100 people per day.
If the script doesn't seem to work for you then try again later. Twitter may be limiting you for some reason. Also, make sure you enter the correct username and password for your Twitter account.
Remember, try not to add more than about 100 people per day.
Site News
I have upgraded the search capabilities of this website. In the sidebar you can see two search boxes. The first one is a Google search of this website. The second one is the traditional WordPress search.
There is a third search feature at the top of the page called Custom Search. Custom Search uses Google to search a select group of websites that I have specified.
I recommend trying the Google search box first. It does a much better job than the traditional WordPress search. The Google search box searches all articles in the Google database for both 1913intel.com and pipes.1913intel.com. The search is much faster and more results can be returned if you wish.
Pipes.1913intel.com is an automated website where Google news is automatically piped in from my program at Yahoo! Pipes. I also use the website to experiment with different features.
I have never been happy with the traditional WordPress search program. It's too slow and clunky. However, you might give it a try if you can't find something using the Google search.
Hope this helps.
Suggestions for News
If you missed my comments in the last post, I informed everyone that there will be no membership site. I ran the numbers, and I expect too little interest to go forward.
Here are my suggestions as news sources to take the place of 1913 Intel:
1. Sign up for my Pipes newsletter. This newsletter is automated and completely independent of this website. Data from Google News goes to Yahoo!Pipes which then goes directly to Feedblitz.
2. Check out my links section on the sidebar.
3. Check out Instant News.
4. Check out Magazine News.
5. Try the Analyst Network.

2. A lot of cars are known to be sorry. you have probably owned one. I have too.
3. Scrap? SCRAP?! Oh yeah, 300 bux in scrapping, wow ten dollars lest then i spent on it. So tell me what in the hell i am going to do with 300 bux? Buy another 300 dollar car like the crown vic and the taurus itself? Am i going to let 300 bux sit around my house slowing dwindling to bills? I don't have a job, we are on the edge of losing the roof over our head, we only really have 1 good car. *** am i going to do with 300 dollars which buys really nothing of value autowise? How am i going to get more from the scrapping scheme when i have a middle man to go thru or ridiculous towing fees that would offset the savings of going to the yard directly.?
I am tired of people these days hearing something and saying "go scrap it, go crush it blah blah blah" It gets annoying. Maybe its because the van i always used to post about around here was stolen and scrapped, maybe its because my neighbors were copper thieves, idk but i am sooo %$#ing tired of hearing about the scrap yard.
15 hours you say? News flash i have no job, I have 15 hours to spare and sadly 15 more after that! And I don't even know were your price estimates for the parts came from, both the taurus and the crown vic together barely reach that much of an expense getting both their gaskets..
And if i put the add on craigs you would call so many times i would have to block your number. this is what you hear about when you look up cars in the 250-350 range, "it wont start but i put new tires and spark plug wires on it and changed the oil.." "It runs great it just needs a new head gasket, you'll need to tow it.." "I dont know whats going on, it hasn't been started in awhile, it might just be the battery.." My car goes atleast, it doesnt remain stationary which makes it a craigs list miracle for three ten..
I am thinking that the catalytic converter may be pretty plugged on your car.
Does it make a whoosing sound (like air rushing out) when you are trying to accelerate.
I am saddened to hear your lifes conditions are so serious.I know there is a lot of people out there who are hurting. I hope the hell you are getting some unemployment , and go get food stamps if you need to feed your family.Thats what the hell its for. You worked and paid taxes, it aint like you lay on your *** and get welfare just because it is there.
I was let go and was unemployed for over a year before I found another job, and 15 weeks later I got laid off from that. Took me a while but I am now self employed.I am not making much money but I am keeping the bills paid(barely)
work is slow not many people paying to fix their cars. After reading your last post I cant blame them.
Defenitley pressure test the cooling system if you can to see if coolant is leaking. You may not see it leaking if it is leaking into a cylinder, but if it is it will miss real bad on that one cylinder when you try to start it. Also when you start the motor cold and run it for a minute or two if it builds pressure real fast instead of slow then it is probably bleeding cylinder combustion pressure into the cooling system.Check those 2 things and let us know.
I have also see the MAF do some weird stuff, I believe that car will run with it disconnected. Might be worth a shot
Artificial Intelligence is no match for Natural Stupidity
Sorry for touching a nerve. I've never been without work whether repair, construction or mopping floors. Temp work sucks I have a brother stuck in that viscious cycle for 3 yrs now.
Keep at it keep applying, and never ever forget that you aren't above shoveling snow and mopping floors. My all time low was going from a management position to mopping floors and prepping food for a Mom and Pop restaurant, Like you they denied unemployment, (I was 18-19 and was hired part time but worked 45 hrs a week. We didn't punch cards and they wrote and did all payroll).
Anyway about the brakes and signals. Check the wiring that goes from the trunk to the lights. the wires break most often where the trunk moves up and down inside the plastic tubing.
Good Luck again sorry for touching a nerve on crushing...
3 weeks ago when we got that snow storm in tennessee i tried to take advantage of that. i went to home depot, they didnt even order snow shovels so i got a regular one for 10 dollars, the first house me and my friend went to we ended up stuck in the guys yard.. then his drainage ditch. i had to give sumn guy 5 bux to pull me out of his ditch with his jeep.. i blew a bunch of money on gas, we got stuck in 5 more yards, burned so much rubber we went strait thru that gas.. we went to like 30 houses, only an old couple agreeds to let us do their yard, we both got paid 7.50.. i went up the hill, then a bunch of slick rednecks tried to question my motives when i asked another neighbor if they wanted their drive way plowed. then the redneck's kid's dog started chasing me and chased me all the way bk to the house we were working on.. then my mom's taurus which i usually drive got stuck on a hill, nearly collided into some guys 75,000 home, stayed their for 3 or so days in limbo. my mom missed a day of work, we ended up having to walk like 8 miles home in the snow, my fingers turned numb that day, 3 weeks later 5 are still numb.. i still had to buy this taurus by the 20th of last month, that caused us to come up short on rent, the temp agency called me out a few times only to tell me the job was canceled, wasting precious gasoline, now my friend tells me he was driving the taurus im asking abt on here and it just died in the middle of the road in traffic, lost ALL LIGHTS, EVERYTHING, made bizarre clicking sounds, he replaced a bunch of bulbs and half blew up withen 15 minutes.. the brand new battery was nearly drained so bad idk how we even jumped it.. and still dnt know if i have to take that damn steering wheel off with the puller just to get to that switch which i suspect still might not remedy our lighting issue. Plowing? **** plowing too man..
back on topic though
Sounds like you could use some corn liquor too.
nah, im strait edge, unless that liquor can be converted to ethanol then i will be glad to feed it to any 4 of my vehicles.
HEE HEE me too. I had my share of booze. Dont go there no more. Seems no matterhow much I drank, the next day my trouble was still there, only worse.
Best of luck,
I read something the other day that I thought was prettycool. It said:
Despite the cost of living is allways going up, it is still popular (to live)
"Despite the cost of living is allways going up, it is still popular (to live)"
somethings are worth Benjamin, Jackson, and Grant lol.
but my update is a bit off but eitherway:
ive got 3 main batteries i rotate thru this car, it kills ALL of them. I only have to have the lights on for 15 or so minutes and everything is just dead. when we went thru the wiring set up so many things were cut and tampered with that we suspect sabotage.. at this point tho the only rigging we have is basically my two big break lights wired to my little third one and my two turn sigs up front wired to the back ones.
also i cant get my ignition key to go in anymore. the key used to have to go thru || and now its gotta go thru \\ and idk how to remedy that situation without a hammer but i really dont want to do that. im hoping to just bust that wing nut looking lip off and get more room to get my key inm then just change that dumb cylinnder out. i dont wanna have to use a puller for this at all!!
If you look up at the steering column from below where the key goes in there is a hole in the cover. That goes right to the housing for the lock cylinder and inside there is a little pin that you can depress (push in ) and it will allow you to pull the lock cylinder out. The key will have to be in the first posisition (unlock but not on) and then push in on the pin and pull striaght out on the cylinder. Piece of cake.
yea i cant get the key to go in the keyhole anymore and idk *** happen.. so bizarre this freakin car..
anyone have any clue about the battery issue?
I know this is an old thread, and I didn't read it all so this may have been mentioned, but if this car was hit in the back end, or struck something, there is a switch that shuts off the fuel pump in the event of a collision. There is a re-set in the trunk. Check the owner's manual.
No one lives forever, the trick is creating something that will.

"Precious" is hardly the feel-good movie of 2009, but the people around it should be feeling pretty good. It had a double win at Sundance, ringing endorsements from Oprah Winfrey and Tyler Perry, Oscar buzz swarming around Mo'Nique and, now, Friday's release. If it all feels like the other shoe's about to drop, you won't get an argument from Lee Daniels.
"It's like I'm on a cloud, waiting for someone to pop it," said the 49-year-old director ("Shadowboxer") and producer ("Monster's Ball"), who acknowledges that his movie — whose full title is "Precious: Based on the Novel 'Push' by Sapphire" — is concerned with the same feelings he's currently having: Of not being worthy, of not loving yourself enough, of not being confident about your accomplishments.
"The key to Precious," he said of the character, "is that she learns to love herself. And it's a hard thing to do. You're conditioned to not love yourself, to think yourself unworthy. I'm conditioned right now to think the cloud is going to pop. 'Precious' makes you look at that in a hard way."
He laughed. "In a really hard way."
No kidding. The 300-plus-pound heroine of Sapphire's novel and Geoffrey Fletcher's riveting script is illiterate, abused, pregnant for the second time by her father and in a duel to the death with her mother — a matriarchal monster named Mary (Mo'Nique). The only relief Precious enjoys from her harrowing existence is in her fantasies — heartbreakingly rendered by Daniels, all pastel-wonderland, music-video confections — until she meets a special teacher, Ms. Rain (Paula Patton), and a social worker played by Mariah Carey. Lenny Kravitz plays a nurse.
"All my friends are in the movie," Daniels laughed.
If there is a backlash, it may likely come from members of the black community.
"Most black people I know who have seen the film prefer 'Akeelah and the Bee' to 'Precious,' just as many preferred 'Waiting to Exhale' to 'Monsters Ball,' " said NY Press critic Armond White, who is African-American. "The black degradation on view in 'Precious' seems to be what Hollywood and the media prefer. It's difficult to square the hype for 'Precious' with Obama's election. Maybe nothing's really changed."
Naturally, there's disagreement. "This movie has a black cast and a black director, but a universal story," said Gabourey Sidibe, the Brooklyn-born, Harlem-raised, 26-year-old who plays Precious. "Being illiterate and abused by your parents is not a black trait. Where the film premiered, in Utah, it's pretty much all white people, and after every single screening, people would come up and say, 'This is my story; this girl is me.' And it wasn't all white women — it was white men, too. There was no rhyme or reason to the age either; it was all over the place."
Sidibe is not Precious: Although size, weight and skin tone are all elements in the story, Sidibe says she didn't need to absorb any lessons in self-worth.
"I do have pride and I do love myself," she said, "but I don't love myself because I'm a big woman. If I were to change, I'd continue to love myself. I think it's harder when you look differently, and not just being big: If you're darker, or your hair's different, there are so many ways the outside world pushes you to not love yourself."
She said some of the feedback she's been getting — during her rather abrupt introduction to media insanity — has been revealing. "People say, 'Oh, you're so confident, people love your confidence,' and my feeling is, 'You wouldn't say I'm so confident if you thought I was beautiful.' Just because I don't fit that image, I'm supposed to have so much confidence. Just because I'm not slitting my wrists because I don't look a certain way?"
She admits she had no real dramatic training pre-"Precious" (playing a pirate in "Peter Pan" at Lehman College in the Bronx was her biggest credit), so she feels an indebtedness to Mo'Nique. "I learned from her how to act with someone else."
They also found a way to get past the horror. "Mary and Precious are in a constant fight and during those scenes, Mo'Nique and I just loved each other more. We'd hug and dance and sing and laugh, because once the director said 'Action,' she'd be throwing a skillet at me."

Note the wheel-like appearance of some of the rotavirus particles. The observance of such particles gave the virus its name ('rota' being the Latin word meaning wheel). Bar = 100 nanometers. Rotaviruses are nonenveloped, double-shelled viruses, making the virus stable in the environment.

Rotavirus is a virus that causes gastroenteritis (inflammation of the stomach and intestines). The rotavirus disease causes severe watery diarrhea, often with vomiting, fever, and abdominal pain. In babies and young children, it can lead to dehydration (loss of body fluids). Rotavirus is the leading cause of severe diarrhea in infants and young children worldwide. Globally, it causes more than a half a million deaths each year in children younger than 5 years of age.
Rotavirus was also the leading cause of severe diarrhea in U.S. infants and young children before rotavirus vaccine was introduced for U.S. infants in 2006. Prior to that, almost all children in the United States were infected with rotavirus before their 5th birthday. Each year in the United States in the pre-vaccine period, rotavirus was responsible for more than 400,000 doctor visits; more than 200,000 emergency room visits; 55,000 to 70,000 hospitalizations; and 20 to 60 deaths in children younger than 5 years of age.
Content credit: CDC
As a early adulthood I had a problem with Ge rd or Acid Re flux. Can the acids in our stomach's in high concentration kill of this Rota virus. Or the medications that control these condition, help kill this virus, before it gets out of hand to cause the diarrhea and vomiting. Or a daily regimen Vitamin C and sorts keep the rota virus away.

Symbolize in the Notations Package
Dear MathGroup,
I have often tried to use the Notations package, but I always get stopped by
the very first Symbolize example. It is something like
Symbolize[Domain\[PartialD]] except that Domain is in script letters.
If one tries to just type this (or click it from the characters palette)
into the Symbolize statement (which I clicked in from the Notations palette)
it does not work.
Later, in the Changing Precedences section of the Help a TagBox form of the
expression is shown. But when I wrap that in DisplayForm and copy it into
the Symbolize statement it also failed.
I can copy the Symbolize statement from the Help and that works. Can anyone
show me how to enter the statement from scratch?

There is an additive know as TK-7 that actually works. It shouldn't, but it does. I have been using it for decades in all kinds of engines.
I don't know how many of you know who David Vizard is, but he is VERY respected as a journalist, and more improtantly as an engine builder, and is now providing services to NASCAR teams and teaches at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte in the race programs. He is even a Brit.
Here is some testing he has done on this stuff:
Motortec Magazine - www.motortecmag. com (dead link)- January, 2001
TK 7 Fuel Additive - Page 1
I should warn those of you who are into instant gratification that this is going to be one of the longest tests you will read. Indeed it rivals my 22 page article in, if my memory serves me right, the April '81 edition of Popular Hot Rodding entitled 'The Great Nitrous Oxide Shootout'. If you don't want to wade through, or cannot wait to get to the test results then go to the sidebar entitled "TK7 Test - Quick Check" at the end of this feature.
Normally product tests would be in our product test section but in this instance I felt there was so much of General Interest in the testing of the TK7 that it warranted going under that heading. I wanted to both congratulate and condemn the FTC (Federal Trades Commission) and thank a number of companies that helped out along the way. Also there are psychological aspects and associated tales worth telling as it all contributes to how many of us see additives and their role or place in the market.
Additives - General Reputation - Snake Oil !
You would think that only the youngest and most naive among us would whole heartedly believe all the claims made on additive bottles. But there is, in most of us, an element that wants to believe, if only to a minor degree, that the claims on the bottle have some foundation in truth. If you want proof of this look no further than the staggering sales of age defying creams. Maybe modern science is just now producing something that works but up to the '80's I'm sure every single bottle and jar sold was substantially misrepresented. This has been my experience with automotive oil and fuel additives - a lot of hype and not much else.
I have been dyno testing additives since about 1964 and one thing is for sure - they have, in my experience, the highest rate of any product group for failing to work. So much so that by the late '70's, after a couple of dozen additive tests, all of which failed to deliver one iota of the power increases claimed, I stopped testing. The principle reason was because the salable editorial I was getting from such tests was almost zero. I say "almost zero" with good reason because there were some incidents worth a few words. One was when I was testing a lot of performance parts for a book I was doing on the Ford 2 litre Pinto motor.
I had built a dyno mule motor, which, in base line form, would click off near identical power curves time after time from one week to the next. I had just finished a series of tests and was getting ready to pull the motor from the dyno when a young man with salesman written all over him came into the shop. Guess what - he had the latest and greatest oil additive the world had ever seen and had, as far as he was concerned, all the right pieces of paper to prove it.
After a cursory look at the printed blurb I said "we have a test motor and a dyno right here - let's test it". It was apparent that this young man had never even heard of a dyno let alone seen one. After a very brief explanation of what a dyno did he agreed to a test.
To establish a baseline five power curves were taken. These all fell well within 1.5% of each other so were used to get an average result. Next the additive was added and the motor run as per instructions for 10 or so minutes to let the additive do it's stuff. The "after" power tests were then done. Over the 2500 to 7000 rpm band tested the motor lost an average of 0.2 of a horsepower. A change that small is within experimental error but if the product had given even 1% gain tests would have almost certainly shown it. When confronted with the results this young salesman looked me right in the eye and sternly commented - "This proves to me that dyno's are a waste of time !" The need to believe in this product, regardless of strong evidence to the contrary, over ruled all.
Knowing It Doesn't Work
Of course there are those that know the product they are touting does not work - but they are going to sell it anyway. A few years ago at SEMA I approached a senior staff member of a company that was throwing huge sums of money promoting the sale of a well-known and somewhat controversial additive. I approached the person concerned and introduced myself in my capacity as a tech writer. I inquired about the possibility of performing some comprehensive testing to establish the worth of the additive for once and for all. The interesting thing is that my suggestion was very well received and it seemed like this gentleman could not do enough for me to help these tests get published. He rounded off what he thought would be the end of the conversation with comments along the lines of "we will get a motor on our dyno and call you when the tests are ready to be run". To this I replied "well no - I had in mind to use my own dyno so that the results will be completely independent (I was subtle enough not to add "and fudge free")". It was obvious this gentleman was amazed that a tech writer actually owned a dyno but more to the point his whole demeanor changed. With what appeared to be a far more reserved disposition he informed me they would organize something and let me know. I never did hear back !
From the forgoing it should be easy to see most of my reasoning behind giving up on additive tests - it's a waste of time and usually my money. But there is another. Namely that many additive manufactures (like the one just mentioned) seem to have big advertising budgets and spend large sums advertising or sponsoring events. Selling a story about a massively hyped additive that does not work to a magazine earning hundreds of thousands of dollars annually in advertising from that company is, to say the least, difficult! If the fact that up to about the mid '80's I had borne the cost of dyno testing products is taken into account it won't be difficult to see that for me, testing additives was quickly loosing any appeal whatsoever. The reality was a bit like standing in the workshop men's room and flushing hundred dollar bills down the toilet. If I sound a little pessimistic about additives excuse me, but I think I have reasonable grounds for doing so. All this led me in the mid '80's, to adopt a policy of "no free dyno testing", especially for additive manufactures.
Octane Testing - a Different Way
During the early '80's the fuels we were buying at the pumps in the US were seemingly at an all time, post '50's, low in terms of octane value. That this was so appeared pretty much common knowledge. It was also apparent that any fuel company that could advertise higher octane on the pump was going to sell more fuel. As a result there appeared to be an "octane war" brewing.
Having had some experience with fuels and ways and means of raising octane values I was aware that it is possible to formulate a fuel that showed well in a CFR octane test motor for R+M/2 figures but did not resist detonation significantly better in a road motor. Why would a fuel company do that ? At the time brewing octane into unleaded fuels was expensive but making them look better on the pump for the purposes of sales was not. What I wanted to find out was just how good (or not as the case may be) these higher-octane fuels were. A CFR test was not going to tell me anything I did not already know from reading the labels on the service station pumps.
Different Test Procedures
At this point I felt a different kind of test was needed. One that was more applicable to the motors we drove on the street. The test I conceived was to use a very high compression (14/1), short cammed, small block Chevy and test the power output of fuels rather than doing a direct test of their Octane number. The logic is simple - we don't care what the octane value is just the amount of power at the driving wheels. If you were offered 50 octane fuel that would deliver double the power would you worry about having to retard the timing 20 degrees if that's what it took? No - at least not if you are in your right mind. This was the concept of my test motor. It would test for what we might call the apparent octane value of the fuel. How resistant it was to detonation would be measured by the amount of advance that could be used before a knock sensor found detonation. How effective it was as a fuel would be measured by how much HP was developed at the test speed of 3000 rpm !
With an intake manifold coupled to the city water supply the temperature of the intake charge, a key issue when testing octane, could be varied by as much as 70 degrees F. The following chart shows the test procedural differences between Motor Octane Numbers (MON) and Research Octane Numbers (RON). The higher temperatures of the MON test typically result in numbers about 8 octane less than the RON test.

Who ya gonna call...to go see "Ghostbusters" with you this weekend? Last Friday, a remastered update of the '80s comedy classic was re-released in theaters to celebrate its 30th anniversary, and showings continue locally at Regal Nitro Stadium 12 until at least Sunday. (The schedule doesn't yet go beyond that.) The heavily ad-libbed, PG-rated film revolves around three unemployed parapsychology professors (played by Bill Murray, Harold Ramis and Dan Aykroyd) who start a ghost removal service. Directed by Ivan Reitman and written by Aykroyd and Ramis, it was originally titled "Ghost Smashers" and intended to be a futuristic epic — until the hefty estimated price tag shut that down. Perhaps it was for the best, though, as the version we know and love went on to earn Oscar nominations for visual effects and Ray Parker Jr.'s chart-topping theme song as well as become the highest-grossing comedy of all time (before being dethroned by "Home Alone"). Showings are at 12:30, 1:45, 3, 4:15, 5:30, 7 and 8 p.m. Call 304-769-0405 or visit www.regmovies.com.

· And if the election is called quickly, which theme song will Cameron's Tories choose? Will it be Jimmy Cliff's You Can Get It If You Really Want, the ghetto-striving anthem that was used as the conference finale. Or music from the video played at the start of the week, which also featured in the movie The Beach, about the hedonistic shenanigans of posh rich people? Beats me.
· So difficult to let sleeping dogs lie after one has bitten your ankle. When Sir Ian Blair met Brian Coleman, the deputy chairman of the London Assembly, for the first time since the politician claimed to have seen Sir Ian "worse for wear", it was understandable that Britain's top cop would want to have a word. The hope was closure. The result, anything but. Only those who were there know what was said but Sir Ian then wrote to Mr Coleman, with copies to others, noting that he was "particularly pleased you were able to tell Caroline Murdoch, my chief of staff, and me that you had not stated that I was drunk at the dinner last February and it was good to put that kind of matter to rest". But as rests go, this was a catnap, for within hours Mr Coleman let it be known that he still stands by his allegation. He never said the Met commissioner was drunk, but "he was worse for wear and I stand by that", he tells the Diary. "If he wants to sue me, let him." So this charming spat now hinges on the adequacy of Mr Coleman's eyesight and the difference between being "drunk" and the "worse for wear". On such does the fate of nations depend.
· Sir Ian may want to look at events in east London, where Simeon Ademolake, a Christian People's Alliance councillor convicted of assaulting two police officers, was cleared on appeal this week. The councillor was convicted after a fearsome struggle at his home and despite police admissions that pictures taken of the fracas by his wife were deleted from her camera at the scene. On appeal the prosecution reached even giddier heights as Judge William Kennedy heard how the case file had been "lost" and that the key physical witnesses, including a bailiff and the two "assaulted" police officers, were unavailable to the court because of an administrative mix-up. The judge said the councillor, whose earlier evidence was condemned as "grossly exaggerated, and at worst fabricated" should leave "without any stain on his character". Next stop, the Independent Police Complaints Commission and probably the law courts. Nice work all round.
· "Sotheby's is pleased to announce it will be unveiling Gavin Turk's new series of work, the Oxidation Paintings," says the press release. "The mini-exhibition will run from October 7 to 14, during the week of the Frieze Art Fair. The artist has made references to popular culture and art history throughout his oeuvre, and this series is no exception." It informs us that the paintings, to be hung in the loos, "were made using exactly the same method as Andy Warhol's famous oxidation series, in which he oxidized bodily fluids with copper paint." These, it seems, became "an amusing play on Abstract Expressionism". Now we're a little hazy on oxidation and abstract expressionism, so we turned to someone learned and they explained it like this. "Turk has been making artworks by pissing on copper and the pictures will be in the bogs at Sotheby's," they said. "He is thus the 'ultimate piss artist'."

(Levin 1992, 42).
Levin argues (not without insight or cleverness) that by taking this model of surface and deep meaning for its analytic base, Cultural Materialism is in fact acting like New Criticism, and that, ironically, the Cultural Materialists have merely changed the critical terms of what they do, not the basic mechanism of interpretation (Levin 1992, 43). With further irony Levin then notes how difficult it is to detect the grounds for the Cultural Materialists' distinction between the surface and the real meaning since they deny that texts can have meaning not produced by the criticism that reads it. Yet, Levin continues, the critics themselves seem to suggest that the disunity is actually there; it is 'within', 'innate'; it 'is always affirmed in the language of real presence' (Levin 1992, 44). Surely, however, Levin continues, what they should be saying is that this 'disunity is no more real than ... unity' and 'must be "produced" by their own approach' (Levin 1992, 44).
(Levin 1995a, 426).
Here is plenty for Levin to get his knife into, and he wastes no time in emphasising what he sees as a central contradiction in New Historicism: for all their talk of the reciprocal interaction between texts and history, the New Historicists often begin their essays with the same historical facts as traditional scholars and then apply these to the texts 'just like the old historicists' (Levin 1995a, 426). As Levin also notes, New Historicists do tend to treat historical fact as facts, and, secondly, they do tend to start with history and then go to texts. (The exception here is the very brilliant Richard Wilson who gets no mention in Levin.) Levin rightly criticises what he sees as the sloganising of everything as textual as if were the end rather than the beginning of an epistemology (Levin 1995a, 429), a point he demonstrates by looking at the different textual status of the Stationers' Register entry and King Lear and how we interpret them differently.
(McAlindon 1995a, 418)
It is this last explanation, 'the invisible-bullets theory', notes McAlindon, which Greenblatt sees as 'the subversive voice' (McAlindon 1995a, 418):
(McAlindon 1995a, 418)
McAlindon's objection - that both explanations are moral and that the invisible bullets theory is in no sense subversive - is, on one level, fairly put. Again, the point that Greenblatt changes his mind about whether Harriot was or was not aware of testing out the idea of religion as a means of control and so simply ends up with 'impressively phrased' (McAlindon 1995a, 418) paradoxes is not without weight. But, of course, what Greenblatt up to is not so much a totalising reading as exploring the relationship between subversion and containment.
(McAlindon 1995a, 424)
This is precisely the sort of double guessing that McAlindon accuses Greenblatt of. But what McAlindon also does at this point is characterize his opponent as a sort of leftish draft-dodger sympathiser who cannot get his head round the Shakespeare text.
(McAlindon 1995a, 435)
This looks like pretty flimsy criticism by any standard, but especially in an 'inquiry into standards of excellence in the professional study of literature' (McAlindon 1995a, 411).
(McAlindon 1995b, 831)
In turn these twin beliefs, McAlindon contends, reflect the twin assumptions in Dollimore's position, that 'a radical transformation in society' (McAlindon 1995b, 831) is only possible once we recognise that human nature is constructed and that 'belief in an essential human nature' (McAlindon 1995b, 831) functions to maintain the political status quo. In addition, McAlindon notes how Dollimore's thesis involves the idea that the drama along with other important texts of the period 'severely interrogated "the essentialist view of man" inherited "from sixteenth-century Christianity and its stoic and humanists derivatives"' (McAlindon 1995b, 832).

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- When the No. 6 Georgia Bulldogs roll into Knoxville this weekend they'll contend with more than 100,000 Big Orange fans itching to knock off their first ranked opponent since defeating No. 21 South Carolina in 2009.
To do so, they'll have to beat a Mark Richt-coached team that highlights outstanding running backs and a quarterback who could play on Sundays according to Tennessee head coach Butch Jones.
While the task may seem tall, some will also be challenged by their hometown fans.
Twenty-one players on UT's roster are from Georgia. For this large chunk of Vols players, the game will highlight their former homestate team against their current team and future alma mater.
It doesn't seem to faze those players from the Peach State. On Wednesday several of them talked about facing the Bulldogs.
"A lot of people from back home are Georgia fans but since I came up here, they have been great Vol fans as well," said junior linebacker A.J. Johnson who is from Gainesville, Ga.
Johnson is one of six starting defensive players from Georgia. Nine out of 22 Volunteer starters listed on the Tennessee two-deep depth chart are from somewhere in Georgia.
Senior Rajion Neal went to high school in Fayetteville, Ga. He'll strap up Saturday coming off a career game against South Alabama.
"No. I can't lie. The state of Georgia definitely supports the Bulldogs and I grew up very aware of what they had and the great program they have, but we're a Tennessee family now," he said.
The common theme throughout the players who were asked is that while they may have grown up there, Knoxville is just as much as a home to them.
Ja'Wuan James will be making is 43rd start on Saturday. He went to high school at North Gwinnett High School and lived in Suwanee, Ga., just over 30 miles outside of Atlanta.
With this as his last year, he's focused on beating the Bulldogs - something he's never done before.
"Playing UGA, I haven't beaten them yet," James said. "I'd like to go out with my senior year and beat them. There's a lot of pride involved whenever I got back home. I know a bunch of guys on the team and things like that. We just want to go out there, play as hard as we can and try to get the win.
"We just have to play our own football. We're going to have to play Tennessee tough and up to our standard. Everything else will take care of itself."

Cat27's recommendation
This idea really makes sense for serving ice cream. Glides through frozen ice cream and creates a circular serving that allows you to stack several layers of flavors if you like.
My Collections:
megest77's recommendation
I love ice cream. I mean, I really love it! I hate having to wait around for the ice cream to soften before I can scoop it out. This scoop solves that problem and makes it easy to scoop hard ice cream. It comes out as a cylander, so also makes stacking ice cream on cones much easier. Great summer idea!
My Collections:
kismet's recommendation
I'm more of a gelato person than an ice cream fan, but if I were going to eat ice cream, I would want this scoop. I hate it when it's so hard that you can't scoop easily.

tapango1's recommendation
TN TUNES This is the coolest ice cream scoop. Its orginal and a real conversation starter. I can get more ice cream in my bow with this scoop as the piles are tidy!

Pirates Sign Dominican Outfielder Jeremias Portorreal
International News
The Pittsburgh Pirates have signed Dominican outfielder Jeremias Portorreal out of the Dominican Prospect League, Pirates Prospects has learned. Portorreal was linked to the Pirates early in the international signing period, but couldn't sign until he turned 16 this Wednesday. He ended up signing for $375,000.
Portorreal is a 6' 2", 180 pound left-handed hitter. Baseball America described his best tool as his bat, with projectable power. They also projected him to eventually play left field or first base. He's another in a long line of players who the Pirates have signed out of the Dominican Prospect League, with that list including Willy Garcia and 2013 signing Edinson Lantigua.
Here is a video of Portorreal:

Newcastle played extremely well tonight at St. Mirren, and while it was only a 2-0 win Newcastle carved out a number of good opportunities and we looked a very good side and it could have been a lot worse for St. Mirren, with top stars like Coloccini, Cisse and Ben Arfa back in the starting side.
Coloccini congratulates Cisse on first goal
And while we started a strong team tonight, the Magpies were still without top players like Yohan Cabaye, Tim Krul, Steven Taylor and Moussa Sissoko, and Newcastle dominated this game and came out as very worthy 2-0 winners.
The goals came in the first half from Papiss Cisse (who else?) and right-back Mathieu Debuchy, and that was Newcastle's second successive win and clean sheet combined.
This is what Alan Pardew said to the Evening Chronicle after the game:
"I was pleased. Especially with the movement." "They put us under a lot of pressure and we had to play very, very well to play under that pressure." "We scored two fabulous goals. "
"Without being derogatory to St Mirren it could have been three or four by half-time." "We were terrific. At the start of the second half we were too."
"We had some great performances tonight."
An excellent performance tonight and some good performances from fringe players like Dan Gosling, Paul Dummett and Sammy Ameobi.
It's not too surprising Alan Pardew was so upbeat after this game.
Now if we can only we can sign a couple of top strikers. 😀
