The Hotel
Discover Our Old Town Key West Hotel
In 1995, The Reach Resort, built in 1985 and fronting the Atlantic just west of Casa Marina, was acquired by Mr. Meisel and Mr. Cohen and became Casa's "sister resort." For years, The Reach was a relaxing haven for couples to enjoy all that Key West had to offer. Located just minutes from the heart of Old Town Key West, the hotel has been the ideal gateway to experience Caribbean allure of the area.
The Reach enjoyed more than its 15 minutes of allotted fame when MTV's "Summer in the Keys, 2001" was broadcast from its beachfront. The show introduced Key West and The Reach to a younger demographic. During the months of July and August, host Carson Daly welcomed such diverse celebrities as hip hop artist Tyrese, actress/singer Mandy Moore, English R&B singer Craig David, leggy Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Molly Sims and pop singer Bryan McFadden. As a concession to more mature viewers, veteran psychologist and advice columnist Dr. Joyce Brothers also made an appearance. Youthful audiences arrived from Miami "by the busloads" to attend the shows.
With a $32 million renovation in 2008, The Reach, A Waldorf Astoria Resort dazzles guests with its stunning transformation. This brilliant tropical playground has been redesigned from top to toe, creating a sassy, sexy atmosphere along Key West's only natural beach. Wrap yourself in the stunning new luxuries of our boutique Old Town Key West hotel. Enjoy playful guestrooms with gorgeous bathrooms. Host a business meeting in our inspired facilities. Lounge by the pool – perfect for relaxation. Savor the delightful enhancements of our tropical haven and experience an unforgettable stay.

Liquid Force 2017 Angel Wakeboard
Liquid Force 2017 Angel + Womens Transit Boot
Ronix 2017 Vault + District Boot
Wakeboarding is the only board sport where your shoulders and hips are not always parallel with each other. This innovative Vault recognizes that your body is crossed up riding toeside, and more inline riding heelside, and every design aspect of this board takes this into consideration for the proper building block of wakeboarding. The Vault has a thinner profile for reduced swing weight in the air, and more contact/feel with the water, along with a rockerline that naturally puts you underneath the board in a more centered position.
•3-Stage Rocker
•Thinner, Sharper Toeside Rail
•Fuller, Vertical Heelside Rail
•2 Fiberglass 1.7" Hook Fins Learn More
Ronix 2016 Vision
Regular Price: $289.99
Special Price: $181.99
It is easy to take a wakeboard and scale it down in size and say it is a "kid's board". But that is not what the next generation was looking for. Every aspect of the Vision was designed with riders 95 lbs. and under in mind. From our unique Grom glass, to a wide tip/tail for easy deep water starts and overall stability – we threw it all on into this high-end wake performer. Easy to get up, stable on the water, and performance features to take your kids riding to the next level.Learn More
Slingshot 2017 Reflex Wakeboard
• Great for kickers and rails
• Flex rebounds for great pop out of presses
• Chined rails make it easy to slide rougher surfaces
• Loose, fun feel on the water
2017 Reflex: The Reflex has been a park favorite for years. It is the foundation for several of the other park boards in our line and is the perfect choice for rail riders who like to keep things simple. The Reflex's classic outline and tip shape allow for some of the smoothest slides in the park. Chined rails protect your edges while sliding less than perfect surfaces and are a great help in perfecting your MJ slides. Learn More
Slingshot 2017 Response + KTV Boots
2017 KTV: The 2017 KTV features an upgraded interior for added ergonomics and cushion and a three-piece Gummy Strap closure system that will have you booted-up and ready to ride in no time. With a medium flex, the KTV is the ideal boot for riders who like a little more give in their setup, whether for causal cruising or tweaking-out grabs. Learn More
Ronix 2017 Fun Board- 5'1
In 1994, a new ripple echoed thru the watersports world when Fall Line Films grouped the most
talented riders in our sport and made the iconic film appropriately titled "Spray". Lakes, rivers and
even docks would never be the same. Over the next 23 summers, we have seen so much evolution in
riding sideways behind a boat and this new product is a tribute to that time. A time of exploration
and creativity – but more importantly just a time when it didn't matter what boat you were behind
– what tricks you could or couldn't do – it was just about having fun.It has been nearly 50 years
that our family has been designing watersports products – one of the things we have learned is
sometimes riders just want something fun and simple, for a true purist. A chance to carry the year
round sensation you get on those brisk winter mornings on a mountain engaging in a session of high
speed whips on a wide open groomer. So we came up with the concept of the Fun Board with 4
main goals to achieve…
1. Our fastest board
2. Our most stable platform
3. Equally mixes the design and feeling of your favorite snowboard, wakeboard and surfboard
4. A board for the path on the water – more than the flight in the air
Increase your carve count, and carry on with a longer riding session.
Designed for any age, ability, riding style – as long as your boat can float – it's the perfect towboat. Learn More

Louis the XIV is claimed to have said: "L'Etat, c'est moi" ("I am the state").[i] The loyalty of his subjects was owed to him personally. King Henry the VIII's unfortunate fifth wife, Catherine Howard, was beheaded—not for adultery, which she was guilty of, but for treason.[ii] These kings, and so many caesars, czars, emperors and potentates were "sovereigns"— "possessing supreme or ultimate power." This is still reflected today in the oath that British military officers take: "I, (name), do swear that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, her heirs and successors, according to law. So help me God."[iii] Reportedly Chinese officers take an oath of allegiance to the Communist Party, not to the country. Given that army's practice of massacring Chinese citizens who express opposition to the party, it is an appropriate oath.[iv]
The United States of America is different. Our military officers "do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; . . . so help me God."[v] In the United States the Constitution is sovereign. It is the only and ultimate source of federal authority. It is the ultimate object of national loyalty. Laws found to be in opposition to the Constitution are struck down as null and void. The Constitution overrules Congress. Even blatantly guilty criminals are freed if the methods involved in their arrest or trial are deemed to be unconstitutional. The Constitution overrules the Executive. Such awesome power, equal to that claimed by the supreme rulers of past empires and kingdoms, is dangerous.
The Constitution, however, is not a person with weaknesses and irrational whims. It is a piece of paper containing a list of powers granted and denied to the government. The piece of paper, however, cannot speak or interpret what is written on it. That must be left to others. The United States Supreme Court arrogated that power to itself in Marbury v. Madison.[vi] The Supreme Court, acting as spokesman and interpreter of the Constitution, thus endowed itself with many of the elements of sovereignty.
It is much like having an all-powerful, but reclusive, sovereign living in his royal palace. Trusting only a tiny group of nine men and women to be admitted into his presence and to relay his instructions to waiting ministers and generals, that tiny group would soon be substituted, in all practical ways, for the sovereign. What they reported the sovereign said would be the will of the sovereign and would govern all affairs of the kingdom, overruling any opposition. The devotion and loyalty the people had for the king would, perhaps unwittingly, be transferred to the pronouncements of the tiny group. We have seen the same effect in our history. When the immensely popular President Franklin D. Roosevelt sought to undercut the authority of the Supreme Court by appointing additional justices, he was forced by public opinion to back down. His attack on the make-up of the Court was viewed as an attack on the Constitution.[vii]
Because the Constitution is only a document, there must be someone to interpret it. Having the Supreme Court do so has been accepted and approved by generations of Americans. One reason may be that, given the immense power involved in that task, it is best to leave it to a small, politically isolated, group of nine. They are not elected. They are appointed by the President with the consent of the Senate. Their salaries cannot be diminished. They can only be removed by impeachment which requires a majority vote in the House of Representatives to impeach (indict) and a two-thirds majority vote in the Senate to actually remove. In the entire history of the country, only one justice has been impeached and he was not removed because many Republican senators crossed party lines to vote with their Federalist colleagues against his removal.[viii]
What is the role of Supreme Court Justices? They are, in effect, spokesman for the sovereign. There is no review of, no appeal from, their decisions. Their only restraint is self-restraint. Their primary role is to determine whether or not federal legislative, executive or judicial actions fall within the strict boundaries granted under the Constitution. They have no more right to create new constitutional rights—that is the role of the amendment process—than spokesmen for the sovereign would have to make up imaginary orders from the king. By what criteria should we judge the Supreme Court? By how well it keeps government within the bounds set by the sovereign Constitution.

What's a Green Team?
PCC Green Teams are self-organized groups of employees committed to advancing sustainable practices in their office, department and/or building. These sustainability champions recognize the importance of staff and faculty commitment in order to meet the college's progressive sustainability goals.

Green Team members use a variety of provided resources and outreach materials to promote eco-friendly offices and reduce the college's environmental footprint. They also serve as the primary contact for their department or building for all things sustainability and remain in constant contact with sustainability staff for support and resources.
Why should your office get involved?
PCC is committed to sustainability! Check out the school's most recent Climate Action Plan.
As a college we have already made great strides in reducing our greenhouse gas emissions & environmental impact, but there is still much more to do. Your participation can help PCC meet its progressive sustainability goals!

Acorn Paper Products Company has completed its upgrade to Oracle E-Business Suite 12.1.2 from Oracle E-Business Suite 11.0.3, and has selected Oracle Fusion CRM to help improve sales team visibility, collaboration and productivity and drive increased revenue opportunities.
Acorn includes a manufacturing division that processes more than 150 million square feet of corrugated paper every month, a wholesale division serving about 600 customers nationwide, and a creative services division that designs packaging and corrugated displays.
Maintaining inventory of more than 1,600 different corrugated boxes, more than any other company in the U.S., Acorn fills 500 orders a day with 98 percent of these orders filled in 24 hours or less.
Even though Acorn is a longtime Oracle customer since 2000, the organization's huge growth and new business and technology goals for productivity, insight and efficiency now required a dramatic shift from Oracle E-Business Suite 11.0.3 to the innovation, power and capabilities available in Oracle E-Business Suite 12.1.2. and Oracle Fusion CRM.
With an upgrade to multinode x86 hardware running, Oracle Linux, Oracle Database 11g, and Oracle E-Business Suite 12.1.2, Acorn now supports a new Oracle iStore-powered Internet storefront, Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition 11g to help management understand and respond to changes in the business environment and Oracle Application Express for Web-based application development.
Throughout the deployment and evaluation of its business and technology needs, it became apparent to Acorn that Oracle Fusion CRM and its ease of integration with Oracle E-Business Suite 12.1.2 would simultaneously answer many of its CRM issues with proven results to manage orders, prospects, customers and the company's sales pipelines.
Part of Oracle Fusion Applications, Oracle Fusion CRM delivers a social collaboration environment, seamless Microsoft Outlook integration, mobility features and activity streams that are vital to boosting sales results.
Acorn plans to use Oracle Fusion CRM to enhance visibility of sales performance with real-time sales analytics tools designed for rapid decision making and problem solving, allowing the company to monitor and correct issues accordingly.
The critical CRM functionalities within Oracle Fusion CRM are also expected to provide untapped insight into Acorn's available inventory, product pricing, customers' purchasing history and sales trends for further business value, efficiency and revenue growth.
Acorn plans to go-live with Oracle Fusion CRM in June of 2012.

Replacing range vent hood
We're going to be replacing our kitchen vent hood. Right now it's an under-cabinet hood where the vent runs up through the cabinets. We're going to be taking out the cabinets and having a stand-alone "chimney" style one, but I'm not sure about measurements.
The metal vent that runs through the cabinets is 10"x4.5" and then it goes up into the bulkhead that hangs down a foot from the ceiling. I'm not sure what dimensions it is up there, but does a new vent hood need to match 10x4.5 exactly?
For example: http://pictures.kyozou.com/pictures....&prdet=6191352
This shows one that is 14"x10.2". Will that connect into the vent?

text: I have a 2002 subaru WRX...I just had my 30000 mile service done which includes a fuel filter change, coolant, brake fluid, and a variety of other stuff. After getting my car back, I noticed it seemed to be burning oil all of a sudden. When I start my car when it's been sitting for a couple hours it smokes pretty bad, and also it isn't getting as much boost as I was before the service (according to boost gauge). What could they have possibly done to be causing this?!?! Thanks..

Jack White has recently released Blunderbuss - his solo album. Quite a few people have asked for my opinion of this album - possibly because I wasn't always the Kool Aid-drinking type when it came to The White Stripes. I wrote this post about how I didn't quite get the buzz.
The only sensible thing to do with a big release like this then is to walk through it track-by-track. Let me be your guide.
Missing Pieces: Ooh it's like Cluedo has been turned into a Crime and Investigation channel whodunit doco-drama and the intro to this song is the opening credit music. Will the missing pieces be found? Will the case be solved? Then Jack White's voice enters - he tells us he was in the shower and that he couldn't tell his nose was bleeding. Not sure if these are more clues. But they are the lyrics. Jack knows other female drummers yet he stuck with Meg for so long? Well she did kinda make The White Stripes - or at least she is what sold them. Time for a trademark Jack White guitar solo: prepare the sewing machine. A swirl of Rhodes too. All work and no play makes Jack a dull...er...
Sixteen Salteens: Jack White covers every single White Stripes song in less than three minutes (wish he'd done that the first time around - could have saved some hassle) and decides to "steal back" the riff from Beverly Hills 90210. Fair enough.
Freedom At 21: I think this is Jack White's hip-hop song. Hip-hop-hooray. But make sure to add some squiggly-line guitar solos because that vocal feels like when The Grateful Dead tried to sing blues songs, yo.
Love Interruption: Sounds like a Robert Plant solo album. You know, Robert Plant from Led Zeppelin? Yeah - but more like a Robert Plant solo album if Robert Plant had never been in Led Zeppelin.
Blunderbuss: If Neil Young had written the Denis Leary song A**hole it would sound like this.
Hypocritical Kiss: I really want to hear the Meg White solo album. At least we know it would have two big hits. (ed - possible typo?)
Weep Themselves To Sleep: I can't believe/you deceive/ what we receive lyrically/by stringing words/ together so easily. You're a poet/ and you don't even know it, but you know it/ though you might blow it, nod to Bob, and then the throb/of a guitar solo that peeks/and seeks and aims to please. You sleaze/you better plug that lead in properly. It's bleeding, like your nose/just shows you need to source/a force of better power/or leave it all alone/and have/another shower.
I'm Shakin': I'm glad Jimmy Page is dead so he never has to hear this.
Trash Tongue Talker: I'm glad The Rolling Stones are dead so they never have to hear this.
Hip (Eponymous) Poor Boy: What if Tim Finn never met Phil Judd, was an only child and released music still under the name Brian Finn. Weird right? This song should have been released on the solo album by John Anthony Gillis.
I Guess I Should Go To Sleep: If this album has a redeeming feature it's the piano playing. Oh but that's (mostly) Jack White. Wow, I get it. He really is a genius, WHAT! WHAT!
On And On And On: Finally the record becomes self-evident.
Take Me With You When You Go: Okay, maybe not.
Well, there you go - a track-by-track walk through the 13 tracks and 42 minutes of Blunderbuss. A giant clusterf**k of an album that is all at once exactly what I expected from the lead White Stripe and not really anything like The White Stripes (apart from that medley of songs disguised as Sixteen Salteens and the coda to the last song and the three or four skittish stabs at guitar solos that hover around the tracks like pesky summer flies).
But hey, that's just a first go at a track-by-track. That's just what I can hear from looking at the tracklisting, staring at the cover and holding the disc up to my ear. I'll be sure, next time, when I can conquer the inertia, summon the spare time and fight off the crashing indifference, to actually put the CD in the tray and press play.

So... good then?
Entertaining, Sweetman, and I am not referring to the album itself (I fully agree that the White Stripes were rather over-rated).
I await with anticipation the flood of comments to the effect of "get another blogger stuff this guy doesn't know anything about music".
Geeez you really hate Jack White don't you Simon, I haven't heard Blunderbuss yet but am already thinking that this so called "review" probably tells us more about you than Blunderbuss ...... but then I was wrong once before in 1973
Last para "But hey..." - funniest thing you have written in a long time.
Loved it.
Haven't listned to it either.

Woo hoo foster mum gave me this amazing stuff, she called it catnip, I call it kitty fun chew mousies to pieces nip! She put some out for me to sniff and I liked it so much I just ate right out of her hands!
I've been playing, sitting on laps and meeting new friends today. Foster mum introduced me to Jose a friend of hers who is going to look after me while she's away, I'm still a little nervous about being away from foster mum but Jose seems real nice and as long as I get food and pets, and this catnip too, I'm in heaven!
Hello there I'm Fred, a new rescue who's learing to love the good life indoors! I had a bad start a mean man kicked me and hurt my leg but foster mum saved me and got me the help I needed. Now I get three meals a day, I';'ve got my own litterbox and if Wolfie would stop taking them, I even have my own toys. I love my chewy catnip mousie the best! Well that and being pet, those chin scratches are heaven!

text: I bought a car with a vpc that was hardwired into the car's main harness. I now got my hands on a vpc harness and was going to use it to wire in an afc. My question is will the vpc leads that come off of the harness and do not connect to anyhting cause me problems or can they just get tied out of the way. And I really do not want to deal with the wiring mess the guy before made and he cut the plug of the vpc right at the plastic so there is really no way to salvage it. Any help would greatly appreciated.

Paint Advise
I have a 1969 Chevelle, it's primer gray with some rust. I want to get it painted but I don't know what kind of paint to ask for. I don't want to get over charged for basic paint. Can anyone direct me to what kind of paint would be the best for this car? :confused:
You say it's primer gray with some rust. What kind of primer? How much rust? What kind of Chevelle is it? Is it a 4 door, 6 cyl. bench seat, 2 speed auto? Or is it an SS variety? What has been done to it so far? What do you want the car to be, a daily driver, show on weekends, strictly show? What are you expecting? How long do you want it to last? How much money are you planning to spend? I'm sure there are even more questions but, this is a start.
These are questions that when answered give us a better indication as to what direction to send you in.
also ,is it spray can primer over old paint just to cover it up??? to get started get some lacquer thinner on a rag and wipe the primer, if it washes off or not will tell us how to get you started...some pics wouldnt hurt either
Take a look at Kirker paint kits at this site http://www.smartshoppersinc.com/. As others stated there is more to painting a car than opening up a can and start slapping paint.
Without Knowing any more than I do about the car at the moment, I will say this....the preparation is a lot more important than which brand of paint you choose. As far as which brand you will get a different answer from just about everyone, depending on their preference. It will not matter if you use the cheapest paint you can buy or the highest you can buy, if it bubbles, rusts out, or the primer falls off in 2 months because the job was not started right. Now mind you I am not saying you have to strip or blast the car to bare metal and start over, but the best paint in the world will not fix dents, rust, or any other bad repair. I do recommend using SPI products as I have recently started using them and compared to even the "best" stuff on the market from the major paint manufacturers they are far superior in product, use, and definitely customer service. I have rambled on a bit but my point is you have to start right to finish right. Best of luck to you :thumbup:

A SIDCUP father has spoken about his heartbreaking struggle to find a school place for his disabled daughter after being told there was "no space for her".
Paul Jenkins, 32, of Ashcroft Crescent, has faced a double blow after special schools in two different boroughs told him there isn't space for two-year-old Lily-Rose to start in September.
The doctors do not currently know what the toddler is suffering from but she is unable to communicate, sit, crawl, walk or feed herself and Mr Jenkins is concerned about her falling behind even further.
He and wife, Karen, were told it was unlikely there would be space in the Bexley special school they viewed and last week were told there was no space for her in the Greenwich facility either.
He said: "Her brain is not growing properly.
"The doctors don't know what it is about but they're classing it as global developmental delay at the moment.
"It is unknown if she will ever be able to sit, walk or feed herself and although we have come to terms with this as best we can, it is still very hard for us.
"We can't risk having any other children because we don't know what genes caused it.
"It's stressful enough caring for a disabled child without this as well."
Mr Jenkins, who works in education, is worried about his daughter missing out on vital support.
He said: "She desperately needs schooling to aid her development and knowing there isn't any provision for her is so difficult.
"The provision for Bexley is at Shenstone School.
"When we viewed it we were informed it was highly unlikely there would be a space for Lily-Rose this September.
"So we requested she be placed at Willow Dene School in Greenwich but we were told last week there is no space. She's 17th on the waiting list.
"It's taking time away from me spending time with my family because it's taking so long to sort out.
"We're not annoyed with the people involved, it's the system that needs to change - there needs to be more provision."
Old Bexley and Sidcup MP James Brokenshire said: "I have raised the family's clear concerns with Bexley Council and have sought assurance her schooling needs will be met.
"I understand the council is working to secure additional special school places and remain in contact with the family."
A Bexley spokeswoman said: "We understand the families anxieties and because of that, we can assure you we are doing everything possible to help.
"We are currently in the process of drawing up an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHC) for Lily Rose. These plans are replacing what is known as a Statement of Special Educational Needs.
"In her EHC Plan we have recommended Lily Rose receives additional support in her current nursery placement, and we are visiting her nursery this week to plan that support."
A Greenwich spokesman said: "In response to a request from Bexley Council seeking a place at Willow Dene School for this child, we have informed Bexley the school is unable to offer her a place as the current classes in her year group are full."

Indio man tied to multiple robberies and burglaries across the Coachella Valley
40 year-old man faces nearly 50 felony charges
INDIO, Calif. - Police say 40 year old Samuel David Lawson Jr. is responsible for several robberies and burglaries dating back to 2011.
Nearly 50 felony charges were filed against Lawson, including one misdemeanor battery count for alleged crimes stretching back to August 2011.
He was scheduled to be arraigned Monday at the Larson Justice Center in Indio.
Lawson was arrested about 1 a.m. Thursday on suspicion of committing a burglary in the 74000 block of Country Club Drive in Palm Desert.
"Lawson had key pieces of evidence that tied him to armed robberies and commercial burglaries throughout the valley," Riverside County sheriff's Sgt. Tom Brewster said.
Information obtained through search warrants for Lawson's vehicles and residence implicated Lawson in armed robberies at fast food restaurants and gas station convenience stores and burglaries at businesses from August 2011 until Thursday, Brewster said.
Law enforcement agencies in Palm Desert, Thermal, Cathedral City, Palm Springs, Indio and El Centro were involved in the investigation.
Lawson was booked into the county jail in Indio and was being held in lieu of $500,000 bail, according to jail records.

Organize With Notepad
Do you use Notepad? Do you like to make lists for the things you need to get done throughout the day? Then this is the tip for you!
Okay, are you ready? This is a really cool trick! Did you know that you can use the Notepad application from Windows to write down any information you need to remember on a day to day basis? You know, you can use it to record any appointments you have or you can even use it to write out your grocery list. The options are endless. Want to learn more? Then read on!
1.) Open Notepad by going to Start, All Programs, Accessories, Notepad.
2.) Type .LOG (in all caps) as the first line of the file, followed by a carriage return (Enter). Then save this file and close it. (You could save it as example.txt, for instance).
3.) Now, navigate to where you saved the file and double click it. You may notice that Notepad appends the current date and time (system date and time) to the end of the file and places the cursor on the line after. With the date and time there, you will never forget to do something on a certain day. How's that for a reminder?!
4.) Now, go ahead and type your notes. When you're finished, save the file again and close it.
Each time you open the file, Notepad will repeat the process. So, each time, the new date and time will show up at the end of the file and it will place the cursor below it. You can then just type what you need to and save it all over again. It's a never ending reminder and it doesn't get any better than that, now does it?!
Go ahead and give it a try!

I recently went out and purchased a Netgear WPN311 which is listed on the wiki as a card working out of the box. I am using BT4 and it doesnt seem to recognize my card. Windows 7 picks it up fine, I am using the Live CD and I also tried VMware. When I type in ifconfig it doesnt show anything at all.
Any ideas? I am really new to using linux to find hardware and recognize it. All your help and experience is greatly appreciated. I know I am new to BT and Linux but out of all the distro's I have used, it is my favorite for many reasons.
Thanks again for reading this.
Ok so that definitely answers the VMware question, but any ideas on how to get the live cd to pick it up? The live cd also doesnt recognize it, nothing shows in ifconfig except the loopback.
To be successful here you should read all of the following.
If you are new to Back|Track

Failure to do so will probably get your threads deleted or worse.

Boyner Falls in Istanbul After YKM Purchase Challenged in Court
Boyner Buyuk Magazacilik AS (BOYNR) fell the most in two weeks after a court case was filed against the Turkish department store chain.
Boyner fell 3.1 percent to 3.12 liras at the close in Istanbul, the biggest drop since March 6.
The Tan family, which holds a 37 percent stake in Yeni Karamursel Giyim & Ihtiyac Maddeleri Ticaret Sanayi AS, or YKM, filed a case to challenge Boyner's purchase of a 63 percent stake in YKM.
The family applied to a court saying it wasn't informed during the sale process when other partners sold their stake to Boyner, according to an e-mailed statement today.
The Tan family was not party to the transaction, Boyner said in an e-mailed statement today.

I had my super-special friend Laurel from Trophy Boutique come over to show me how to make spanakopita, thereby showing y'all how to make it, too. The idea is that chicks dig this shit and we ought to know because we are chicks. It has vegetables in it and it requires purchasing (and knowing how to use) phyllo dough which is Greek and therefore also exotic (chicks love exotic shit).
Plus, as Laurel points out, if you have several dates in one week, you can make a big pan of this and reheat it in the oven for each lady. Don't be too obvious about it, though. It works like a charm and then you just serve it on a plate with some sliced tomatoes and basil with salt. Fuckin' gorgeous. And yumzers.
We used the recipe from the Moosewood Cookbook because that's the one Laurel's mother used when Laurel was very small. It is GOOD, dudes (and ladies). And really not even complicated. But it is a time-intensive meal that requires at least a modicum of planning, which is impressive to thoughtful guests.
And you will need the following tools that you may not just have laying around:
- a 9″x13″ pan (you can get one at the dollar store for probably only a few dollars. Or borrow one from your mom. DON'T tell her it's to get you laid.)
- a basting brush or a clean paintbrush or I guess you could use one of those oil spray bottles or perhaps a clump of animal fur like they did in the caveman days when spanakopita was made in pits in the ground over fires fueled by the bones of ancient sea creatures.
Also, you better wash the holy living hell out of the spinach unless you pay top dollar for some prewashed business. Spinach is sandy and dirty because it lives in the ground so wash it in LOTS of water and at least THREE times. I'm not even kidding you. It's that filthy. Filthy good. (Tips on washing spinach are at the bottom of this post.)
And another thing (is this getting too complicated for you?) you must do is remember to thaw the phyllo dough. It'll be in the freezer section near the pie crusts and stuff so, you know, it's frozen. Just put it in the fridge for 24 hours (or longer) and if you need it before that, leave it on the counter for 2 hours to thaw.Print
Greek spinach and pastry casserole
- Prep Time: 20 mins
- Cook Time: 60 mins
- Total Time: 1 hour 20 minutes
- Yield: 12
- ½ c olive oil (not to be used all at once)
- 2 c onion, minced
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 tsp basil
- 1 tsp oregano
- 2½ pounds fresh spinach, cleaned and de-stemmed and chopped coarsely
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 Tbsp flour
- 1 pound feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 c ricotta or cottage cheese
- 1 Tbsp black pepper, or to taste
- 1 pound phyllo pastry leaves – thawed!
- Turn your oven to 375 now so it's preheated later.
- In a big-ass pot, saute the onion in 2 tablespoons of the oil for about 5 minutes over medium heat, just until they become slightly translucent.
- Add the salt and herbs. Stir it around.
- Add the spinach and garlic and stir that around. You will have to add the spinach a few handfuls at a time to make it all fit. Add some, stir it around until it wilts, then add more.
- When all the spinach is in there and wilted, sprinkle the flour over, stir well, and reduce the heat to low. The flour will absorb the spinach liquid and make the filling more firmer.
- While the spinach simmers, begin layering the phyllo sheets in the baking pan. Brush a little of the remaining ½ cup of oil on the bottom of the pan. Lay in a sheet of phyllo and brush some oil on it, too. Layer about 10 more sheets with oil on each.
- By now the spinach should be looking good and thick. Add all the cheese and black pepper. Stir it up good and plop it into the pan on top of the phyllo. Spread it evenly.
- Top that with more layers of phyllo and oil. You will blow through about ¾ of the pack of phyllo dough.
- Tuck the edges of the phyllo all in and under so it's not sticking up over the lip of the pan. Spread liberally with the oil, especially the periphery.
- VERY IMPORTANT: Before cooking, you must cut it into squares. Cutting will be impossible to do nicely afterwards. Use a sharp knife to cut it into 12 squares, cutting all the way through the layers.
- Put the (very heavy) pan in the oven now and bake it about 45 minutes until golden and crispy.
- Let it cool 10 minutes or longer while you make a tomato salad and open a bottle of Pinot Grigio or some other light wine.

In every encounter we either give life or we drain it, there are no neutral exchanges. - Brennan Manning

Judge Rejects LICH Closure
A state judge in Brooklyn has rejected the closure of Long Island College Hospital. Justice Johnny Baynes said the state health department's decision to allow the Cobble Hill facility, known as LICH, to close is invalid. He also called state health regulations "unconstitutionally vague" when it comes to authorizing hospital shutdowns.
Attorneys for LICH's owner, SUNY Downstate, argued that hospitals that need to close should be allowed to, and that the state's only role is to make sure patients' lives aren't endangered and their records aren't lost.
Healthcare unions and a doctors group from LICH argued that the Health Department was effectively rubber-stamping hospital closures. Justice Baynes agreed, writing that the department's laissez-faire practice violates its state mission "to promote and assure the provision of health care in any given neighborhood."
The State Health Department says it's reviewing the ruling. SUNY Downstate had no immediate comment.

Newest Responsive Classroom Book is Released
TURNERS FALLS, Mass., July 15, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ Just-published by Northeast Foundation for Children, Inc. (NEFC), developer of the Responsive Classroomapproach, Energize Your Meetings! 35 Interactive Learning Structures for Educators helps school leaders facilitate productive, engaging meetings that adult participants look forward to and leave feeling invigorated. The book offers easy step-by-step directions for interactive structures that are ideal for helping adult learners:
- get to know new material
- assess their own comprehension
- deepen their understanding of content or issues
- reflect on their learning and develop action steps
- solve problems collaboratively
"We know that adults as well as children learn best when they can be both active and interactivewhen their learning includes some getting up, moving around, and working with others," says Lora Hodges, Executive Director of NEFC. "The structures in Energize Your Meetings! give group leaders easy ways to make just this kind of adult learning happen."
Meeting facilitators needn't be trained presenters to use these structures. Each involves few steps, little to no advance preparation, and few or no materials, and "Learning Structure in Action" examples help group leaders envision how each structure might work in their own setting. In addition, a "Learning Structures at a Glance" chart at the beginning of the book helps users choose the best structure for their purpose and group size.
All of the structures in Energize Your Meetings! are ones used in Responsive Classroom workshops. "Participants often say that Responsive Classroom workshops are the best professional development they've ever experienced," says Hodges. "A big part of that is the power of the interactive learning structures presenters use. We're delighted to share these structures, and we hope this resource will help many educators lead meetings and PD sessions that harness the full power of active, collaborative learning among their staff."
Visit the Responsive Classroom website for more information and sample learning structures.

5th Dec 2012
In the 2012 Autumn Statement, the chancellor announced some positive measures to help small businesses, although many entrepreneurs believe he could have done more. The statement has therefore received a mixed reaction from small business owners.
Some of the main announcements include:
- The extension of the Small Business Rate Relief scheme for a further year from 1 April 2013, enabling 350,000 small firms to pay no business rates during this time
- Confirmation of £1bn in funding for the new Business Bank to boost lending to small companies
- An increase in the annual budget of UK Trade & Investment by £70m, to deliver services to more small and medium size exporters
- An increase in the Annual Investment Allowance (AIA) from £25,000 to £250,000 for the next two years from January 2013
- The government to devolve a greater proportion of growth-related spending to Local Enterprise Partnerships and create a single funding pot for local areas from April 2015.
- A consultation on allowing investment in SME equity markets such as the Alternative Investment Market (AIM) to be held directly in stocks and shares ISAs, to encourage investment in growing businesses
- Confirmation that the 'shares for rights' scheme will go ahead
- The cancellation of the planned 3% fuel duty increase in January
- Corporation tax to be cut by a further 1% to 21% from April 2014
- UK Export Finance to establish a scheme, which will run until the end of 2015-16, to provide up to £1.5bn of loans to finance smaller export transactions.
- Funding for ultrafast broadband in twelve smaller cities – Brighton and Hove, Cambridge, Coventry, Derby, Oxford, Portsmouth, Salford, York, Newport, Aberdeen, Perth and Derry-Londonderry.
Here, small business owners react to the measures announced in this year's Autumn Statement:
Florian Richter, director of SumUp UK, remarked that little of the relief being offered by the government in the aftermath of the double-dip recession will benefit small, independent, businesses.
"While the plan to freeze fuel prices will be welcomed by those business people who make their livelihoods from—and on—the roads, it is really a stay-of-execution—not a pardon—for most small merchants. Similarly, Vince Cable's 'business bank' (which received tellingly little 'air-time' today) sounds promising, but until more is revealed, it's difficult to know whether it will be a genuine game-changer for small businesses."
Gary Wilkinson, CEO at Cambridge & Counties Bank said that it is imperative that the government looks to strengthen the UK's position as the home for small and mid-sized growth businesses by focusing on the promotion of new bank lending.
"While the 'funding for lending' scheme, the new British Business Bank and today's announcement of a cut in corporation tax show that the government is being proactive in the SME space, there needs to be better co-ordination of such initiatives. At first sight it is difficult to see how these measures will significantly increase the availability or suitability of credit for SMEs, particularly in the near term. Further details are required about exactly how the new Business Bank will 'partner' with existing banks and other lenders."
Charlie Mullins, founder of Pimlico Plumbers, said: "Like a business turned down for bank lending, George can only work with what he's got. What he delivered was a statement that will encourage business and therefore help individuals.
"Cutting corporation tax and introducing a ten-fold rise to plant and equipment tax relief shows demonstrates that Britain is a good place to do business. These measures will encourage businesses to expand and create jobs, which helps the wider economy and improve the lives of men and women across the country."
Dr Peter Gradwell, founder of Gradwell, remarked: "The government could definitely have done more sooner to encourage small business investment in particular, but unfortunately we have waited until a triple-dip is looming before taking appropriate action.
"The Autumn Statement was positive but there remains a question over why we need to wait for some of these initiatives to be implemented. The sooner they come into play, the sooner businesses will benefit, as will the economy as a whole."
On the announcement that the government is to consult on allowing investment in SME equity markets like the Alternative Investment Market (AIM) to be held directly in stocks and shares ISAs, Anil Stocker, co-founder of MarketInvoice, said:
"The AIM has been a great success to date, offering a novel means for growth businesses to take on investment. Such companies are an incredibly important part of the UK economy, and the government is right to promote investment on the AIM as a means of ensuring their growth is appropriately supported.
"That said, the AIM is only appropriate for a small proportion of firms. The price of listing on the AIM through an IPO is around £500,000 per year. For the vast majority of UK businesses, this isn't a viable option. "
Ed Molyneux, CEO and co-founder of FreeAgent , said the most positive measure in the statement is the announcement of optional cash-basis reporting for the very smallest businesses.
"The costs of compliance - usually for tax filing - for most micro businesses are hugely disproportionate to their profits, so having the option of cash-basis reporting is great news. It will make the whole process easier and less expensive for millions of small businesses across the UK which, in turn, will help them to flourish and grow."
Nick Moore, MD of We Trade It, said the Autumn Statement provided no immediate encouraging news for small business and startups.
"Ultimately I feel that the statement lacked innovation, forward thinking and leadership. Osborne failed to deliver a clear plan of action that details how he will deliver the support that Britain's SMEs so desperately need."

Cassidey represents the new breed of Vivid Girl, a wanton go-getter who worked her way up through the hardcore ranks. Cassidey's shown that hard work, a great body, and a willingness to do anything and everything on camera can pay off. She is a rare talent that ended up on Vivid's rollicking roster.
Cassidey was born and raised in Denver, Colorado, but headed west soon after her eighteenth birthday to try hardcore. Cassidey was a virgin until just a year before her porn debut, lending excitement and enthusiasm to everything she's done since. Her pouty, thick-lipped good looks are complemented by a wonderfully curvaceous frame and dazzling eyes.
In 1999, Cassidey turned up in a string of raunchy outings. Among the best of these is her turn in "Nasty Nymphos #25," where she joins Vince Voyeur in a ravenous rear entry romp. Her back door boffing with Erik Everhard in "Lewd Conduct #06" also ranks as one of her most incendiary performances.
Cassidey's glossy good looks and do-anything nature soon got her noticed, and in 2000 she signed with Vivid. Her Vivid debut was in "Diary of Desire," where she starred as a writer working on a book of erotica. Cassidey shines in a pair of scenes, first with Ian Daniels in a down and dirty dalliance, and later on in a jail cell threesome with Shelbee Myne and Billy Glide. A shapely siren who has made her mark on porn through sheer sexual energy, Cassidey is one of the sexiest brunettes to hit the scene in some time.

Fast and loose Obama, Holder duck accountability
'I think it's important for us to understand that the Fast and Furious program was a field-initiated program begun under the previous administration,' Obama said in an interview with Univision, the Spanish-language broadcaster. Probably few who watched that interview also saw Jake Tapper of ABC News debunk the claim.
Fewer still probably read the inspector general's report that Obama used to praise Attorney General Eric Holder. That report, a brutal indictment of Holder's Justice Department, did fail to connect Holder personally to Fast and Furious. That is because, according to the report, staffers and appointees directly subordinate to Holder miraculously failed over and over again to tell their boss that his own department was putting thousands of guns into the hands of drug dealers, who were then taking them into Mexico and U.S. border states and murdering people with them. One of the murdered was U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry.
Obama pretends that his attorney general's complete ignorance of the program is evidence of his administration's strong leadership. Exactly the opposite is true. The inspector general's report reveals an ineptly managed Justice Department that enabled a 'series of misguided strategies, tactics, errors in judgment, and management failures. ...' In response to this, Obama blames Bush and says, essentially, heck of a job, Holder. Amazing.

You are what you eat in spirit, soul, and body. What we continue to see, hear, think about, or speak forth can affect our spiritual lives. Jesus talked about partaking of Him, or in a sense eating His agape life so that we can engage optimally as His Spirit led Body on earth as it is in heaven. We will reap what he sow which directly relates to what we have been eating and digesting spiritually. It is time to change your diet.

Fixture News | 29th June 2005
Time to go for the kill against Foxes
Date: June 30
Notts Outlaws v Leicestershire Foxes
Start time: 5.30pm
Tickets on the day cost ?10 and ?5 with a family ticket priced at ?25. They are available from the Ticket Sales Points around the ground.
These are located at Fox Road (cash only), the TBI turnstiles (cash and credit cards accepted), Bridgford Road (cash only) and the Dixon Gate (cash and credit cards). Cash is preferred to allow quick access to the ground.
We go into the match needing a win to stay in the hunt for a quarter-final place after losing three of our first four matches in the final over.
Said Swann: "You don?t score 180 -200 runs in Twenty20 without being a good side so it?s up to us to tighten up with the ball and kill these games off.
"We?ve been getting matches into the last over but if we turn the screw a bit earlier teams should be left with an impossible task.
"We?re doing a lot of things right but we need to hammer in the final nail in the coffin when the chance arrives.
"I know I have to do my part as a spinner, because I think they are the best option as bowlers in the competition.
"Batsmen tend to lose their head against slow bowlers and try and whack them out of the ground instead of looking for the singles.
"Spinners can tie down the opposition and take wickets. Samit Patel and I have already shown that this year and we?re looking for more of the same."
Swann also hit form with the bat against Durham Dynamos, with 44 from 37 balls and added: "It was nice to get some runs under my belt. I?ve been hitting the ball well in the competition without getting through the first few overs.
"The wickets have been so good at Trent Bridge that I?ve been getting a bit carried away at times. Durham?s was a lot slower and it made me knuckle down and I?m going in with the same approach against Leicestershire."
Swann, Fleming (cap), Patel, Hussey, Read (wkt), Ealham, Franks, Clough, Will Smith, Greg Smith, Harris, Alleyne.

¡Thank you!
Looks like poop Andy, If I ever see this armor in person I will break it into a million little pieces!
Your Friend,
Looking great bro, reminds me when I put together my first set of armor 10 years ago. Dam I am getting old!!!! Keep up the good work.
Looking good one step at a time
1 step at a time means I'm horrible with my own update threads, here's the final product
Wow, your suit is amazing bro, job well done I would say. Good job.
*is speechless* your suit looks great!!! definately motivating!!!
Andy, you clearly are the worst TK I have ever seen... not to mention the ESB stormy is the lamest of them all... You should reconsider your hobbies, maybe stick to checkers... or coloring books or something... no room for this weak stuff.
Amazing suit bro, seriously... I think you could be one of the top TKs out there bro! oh, and ESB Stormtrooper is my fav hahaha
always wanted to do a ESB TK. Looks great Andy!
Thanks everybody
great job! looks killer!
wow, so bloody cool, awesome job!
Hey Andy.... I stole your handbacks after that event was over...
Wow Andy, that suit turned out great!
Nice work Andy...
Hope my ESB looks half as good!
wow Andy, with your hair you look just like one of the original actors.
Andy, haven't seen this til now.... suit came out amazing. You did a fantastic job putting it together...and it's insane how perfectly sized it is for you. The detail on those pulls is so crisp, this is what a stormtrooper should look like.
Very nice job. Once I finish my Fett I really want to upgrade my TK to AP also. That is really nice armor and it is ABS not Styrene so it will last.
Now upgrade your blaster too!
Great looking suit.
Hi, I am new to this forum and am also a SW stormtrooper fan.. that is a sweet costume there! Did you mention where you ordered it from?
Wow, I just found this when I was researching TK costumes. I am definitely going with the AP instead of FX kit. Looks amazing! I think once my Fett is done I will be doing an ESB TK.
Looks great, man!! An awesome kit build!
I do think the blaster could use alittle weathering, but other than that it looks amazing.
Your suit looks great but I have to ask you, why does it have kind of a dull, satin look?
I have and AP that is finished ESB as well but it is shiny ABS. I wonder if he changed materials?
ESB TK's rock!
Costumes pretty tight dude. I myself am building a ESB stormtrooper also. I never realized the snowtroopers and regular stormtroopers had the same hand armor. Thanks for the heads up so I can make the necessary changes.

Roger Brown's First and 10: Portsmouth in another title contest
By now, you undoubtedly know that Chuck Lenahan will be walking the sideline as Plymouth Regional's football coach for the final time Saturday when the Bobcats face Portsmouth in the Division II championship game.
Lenahan has a 355-70-1 record in 43 seasons at Plymouth and his teams have won 19 state championships, so his final game is certainly a worthy storyline. The game also has an interesting subplot, however, since Portsmouth will likely be playing its final game as a Division II program.
Although not official, Portsmouth is expected to move up to Division I next season, with Manchester West dropping from Division I to Division II. According to Portsmouth coach Brian Pafford, Portsmouth appealed in an attempt to remain in Division II, but that appeal was denied.
"I haven't heard anything since then," Pafford said. "If I had to guess I'd say we're going up."
Portsmouth is playing in its sixth consecutive championship game. After three consecutive losses to Souhegan of Amherst in the Division III title game, Portsmouth beat Bedford for the Division III championship in 2011 and defeated Goffstown to win last year's Division III title.
Second-seeded Portsmouth (10-1) will be the road team Saturday even though it beat top-seeded Plymouth (10-1) during the regular season. Not a lot of teams have beaten Plymouth twice in one season. Even fewer have won twice in the same season at Plymouth.
"There's no rocket science in this one," Pafford said. "You can't go toe-to-toe with them. You have to spread them out and make things happen. If it's OK weather I think we can move the ball and put points up.
"Defensively you have to play tough up front. When we watched film on them before our first game we never saw them punt. If we can get one stop a quarter, that's pretty good.
"It's going to be an honor to coach against (Lenahan) in his last game."
- - - - - -
SATURDAY'S Division I championship game between Concord (11-0) and Pinkerton Academy of Derry (9-2) will match teams that each set the school record for points scored in a season this year (467), but from an offensive standpoint, the Astros and Crimson Tide couldn't be more different in how they do things.
Pinkerton runs a wing-T offense that has helped coach Brian O'Reilly post a 270-103 record in his 36 seasons as the program's head coach. Concord is among the NHIAA teams that run the spread, which has become popular at the high school and college levels in the last decade.
"That's a crowd-pleasing offense," O'Reilly said when asked about Concord. "That's not what we do. We run the ball."
- - - - - -
STEVENS of Claremont (8-2) will be looking for a big game from senior running back Donald Pellerin in Saturday's Division III championship game against Bow (9-1). Pellerin, who also plays varsity baseball and varsity basketball, will enter that contest with 1,377 yards rushing and 22 touchdowns.
"He's exceeded even what I thought he was going to do this season," Stevens coach Paul Silva said. "He's very quick, he's got good speed and he's the hardest-working kid I've ever been around."
Pellerin has scored at least one touchdown in every game this season except Bow's 28-14 victory over Stevens during the regular season.

COLUMBUS -- Josh Mandel seems like such a nice kid.
I say "kid" not to demean, but because Mandel is apt to poke fun at his own youthful appearance and age, joking with an audience in suburban Columbus last week that he would soon be old enough to shave.
He's personable. He knows how to connect with people on the campaign trail. He'll pull you aside in the hallway, call you by your first name, talk to you like he's your best friend.
He's a military veteran who takes obvious pride in his days as a Marine. He's found success in elected office, serving as a state representative and as the current state treasurer. He's shown that he can raise funds and garner support from Republicans, Democrats and independents.
He says all of the right things about being tired of politics as usual in Ohio's Statehouse and the nation's capital.
"I am frustrated with both Republican and Democratic leaders in Washington," he said. "I think a lot of them have failed us, and in my mind the only way to change Washington is to change the people we send there."
He has a pamphlet that he hands out to potential supporters outlining some of his plans for building the state and national economies and ensuring future job growth for Ohioans.
He even has a couple of nice things to say about his opponent in November, telling people that Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown "loves his country."
"He doesn't seem like a bad guy," Mandel said of Brown one day last week.
Given all of that, it's curious how Ohio's U.S. Senate race has degenerated into a morass of ugliness, with daily emails from Democrats pointing out Mandel's shortcomings and Mandel regularly drawing the ire of newspaper editorial boards for stuff he says and ads supporting his candidacy.
Cleveland's Plain Dealer and PolitiFact have labeled more than half a dozen or so of Mandel's campaign claims as either "false" or with the dubious, bottom-of-the-Truth-O-Meter rank of "Pants on Fire."
He sometimes unnecessarily dodges easy questions. There's a growing perception among media types that Mandel is running a shady campaign. The word "sleazy" comes up in conversations.
For his part, Mandel's response to such criticism is defiant.
"None of it has an impact with how we run our campaign," he told me last week. "We're going to continue telling the truth, and we're going to continue projecting our positive message for restoring the economy in Ohio and bringing fiscal conservatism to Washington."
He added, "I have a lot of respect for journalists throughout the state of Ohio, and there's a lot of good men and women I've met who work in the industry and they're just doing their job. At the same time, we're not out here trying to earn the votes of journalists. We're out here trying to earn the votes of citizens throughout the state."
Marc Kovac is the Dix Capital Bureau Chief. Email him a email@example.com or on Twitter at OhioCapitalBlog.
Did you see the picture of Mandel dressed in racy women's clothing? Including fake breasts? And then he lies and says he doesn't remember doing it. http://www.clevescene.com/scene-and-heard/archives/2012/07/03/pic-of-the-day-josh-mandel-in-drag
Shame on you Josh for telling a lie,that can only be done by Democrats.Otherwise they get mad and call names.

Celebrating MLK Day While Finding New Sources
There are different ways to get people to join our Public Insight Network. My favorite way is meeting people face to face at one of WNYC's special events.
For Martin Luther King Jr. Day, WNYC and WQXR hosted Made in America: King's Dream in Today's Economy. The speakers at the event really dove into King's ideas on labor rights and how all kinds of people should be given the opportunity to achieve the "American Dream."
A truly diverse audience came out to the Brooklyn Museum, where the event was held, and I was happy to capture some of that into the Public Insight Network. It's my goal to have people from all walks of life to sign up and become a news source for us.
Anyway, I'll be sure to post on my blog about any upcoming cultural events we're organizing. You could have a great time with WNYC.
Well, if you'd like to know who the speakers were and hear what they had to say, here's a full report of Made in America: http://bit.ly/gmFOYP

Citation: N/A Interpretive Summary: Drought is the major environmental stress limiting crop production, and the plant cuticle represents the outer-most covering of the plant that prevents uncontrolled water loss and protects the plant from drying out during climatological drought. We report here studies on a new gene from rice (OsWR2) that controls the synthesis of both cuticular wax and cutin biosynthesis in rice cuticle. Altering the amount of expression of OsWR2 in rice had a large effect on wax and cutin chemical composition, providing evidence that OsWR2 controls the expression of cuticle genes. When this gene was overexpressed for example, 19 other genes that were previously associated with wax and cutin biosynthesis were expressed at higher levels as well. Also, OsWR2 overexpression improved rice drought tolerance, and this by changing the permeability of the cuticle to water loss. These results show that OsWR2 regulates both wax and cutin biosynthesis, and plays a major role in controlling cuticle permeability and overall plant drought tolerance.
Technical Abstract: Drought is the major abiotic stress limiting crop production. Plant cuticle represents the outer-most layer of the epidermis and previous studies demonstrate its association with plant response to climatological drought. We report here the functional characterization of the rice ((Oryza sativa L.) Wax Synthesis Regulatory 2 gene (OsWR2), a homolog of both the AP2/EREBP transcription factor gene WIN1/SHN1 in Arabidopsis and the OsWR1 gene in rice. OsWR2 showed high expression in epidermal tissues and contributed to the transcriptional regulation of both cuticular wax and cutin biosynthesis in rice cuticle. Overexpression of OsWR2 in rice increased the total cuticular wax level by 48.6% in leaves and by 72.4% in panicles. Alkanes and aldehydes were the main increased wax components, suggesting OsWR2 may play a major role in wax decarbonylation pathway. The total cutin amount was increased by 48.1% in leaves and 65.9% in panicles of OsWR2 overexpression rice due primarily to an increase in hydroxylated cutin monomers, suggesting the involvement of OsWR2 in cutin monomer hydroxylation. Nineteen genes putatively involved in wax and cutin biosynthesis were up-regulated in OsWR2 overexpressors. Furthermore, OsWR2 overexpression rice showed reduced cuticle permeability as supported by decreased leaf chlorophyll leaching, lower water loss rate and enhanced drought tolerance. OsWR2 overexpression rice had higher free proline and lower malondialdehyde contents under water deficit stress. These results demonstrate that OsWR2 regulates both wax and cutin biosynthesis in a mechanism other than WIN1/SHN1 and OsWR1, and plays a major role in controlling cuticle permeability and overall plant drought tolerance.
