"i'm so excited & i just can't hide it"
"ahhh i love when the sun is shining"
Dear friends
Thank you for all your support… this has been the toughest battle I have yet faced in my life.
I thought that my husband having cancer and literally living in the hospital day in and day out, from chemo therapy to radiation therapy and everything else in between was a lot. But never did I expect to face what I did on oct 19,2010.
My Husband was young and very strong, he had lung cancer stage four … but never did he let it knock him down, he would act like a normal person even though he was sick… his belief was to never let the cancer defeat him.. he was determined to defeat it, even the doctors where amazed by how normal he would act after all the intensive treatment he would have. And he almost did beat it, I strongly believe he would have beat it.
Since he was diagnosed there was a huge improvement, the tumor has shrunk by almost 3cm… it started at 5.6x6 so that was a huge improvement… he also had 2 other ones in the main arteries wrapped around his heart which have also been shrinking. He would have been due to get his whole left lung removed this week, but sadly he did not make it.
You see my husband was a chained smoker…. And that's what killed him, he was a nicotine addict… even with cancer, he was fighting to quit smoking.. but he couldn't… he has cut down from 4 packs to almost half of one a day… but still could not quit… the doctors tried all kinds of meds to make him quit, but his body just needed the nicotine…
(I will try to skip all the graphic details for those that are faint of heart)
He died in a matter of 4 minutes, he was having a normal day… and all was well there where no symptoms we had no idea what was awaiting us..
we were so happy and looking forward to his lung operation in the weeks to come, where he suddenly started to cough out blood… and then the blood started to pour out like tap water out of his nose and mouth… and he collapsed as the blood continued to pour and I was panicking and giving him cpr but could not stop the bleeding, the ambulance had already come…. And I swear I thought they were going to fix it….
They took him away, and kindly told me to take a shower because I was all bloody myself… so I ran in and out the shower and sped down to the hospital…. To find out as soon as i got there that he had bled to death… they said they tried everything they could, but there was too much blood and they could not get a pulse and the lungs where filled up with too much blood they couldn't do anything... they have tried it all to resuscitate him...
then the nurse told me that when I was already trying everything to stop the bleeding and giving him cpr that by then he was already unconscious and probably gone because when they got there he already had no pulse and his whole lips and mouth where blue
You see he blew a artery… one of the main ones that goes to our hearts…. It was also one of the arteries that he had cancer in … and his heavy smokers cough contributed… (it contributed because when u are a cancer patient your arteries become more elastic/flexible from the chemo... so any chronic cough can rupture it)
If you are a smoker reading this… please consider this… your life and loved ones life can change in 30 seconds… because when you have a aorta blow out like my husband did..there is no one in this world can save you… and you will go with God quicker than you like… you won't even have a chance to look into your loved ones eyes to say good bye…
So next time you light a cigarette don't think like my husband did "oh that will never happen to me" because cancer does not have a preference in age, or color…. Just always remember it can take your life in less than 4 minutes… and i am a living witness of it...
It took my husband, without me getting the chance to say goodbye…
Thank you for all your kind words, and pmails and rosettes… once again I truly apologize for not coming on dogster this whole year… I missed u all a bunch… thank u all for all your support
God bless you all
Lucky 5 MOM (caspers mom)
Hi everyone
thank you so much for all your support, you have all been so wonderful. Words can't describe how much it means to me and to mommy that you have all been so supporting. Thank you all for your prayers and all your rosette's it's nice to know that you all care so much.
Daddy is going through treatment, he has radiation everyday for the next 14 weeks and chemo therapy every week for the next 14 weeks.... if he does well with this treatment and they can shrink the tumor and remove the lymph nodes they may be able to do surgery and remove one lung... so let's hope that all will go well...
for now he is responding to the treatment and losing his hair, and radiation is making him really tired. But we are staying positive. And we are looking in to the future with Good hopes that this will all go well and that together with our faith in God we can win the battle.
Once again I would like to thank you all for all your kind words, i will keep you all up to date on how things are going.
As For me i'm doing well... so far my little heart is healing.... and i'm still taking yucky meds... yuck i run away from mom everyday and hide under the table but sadly she catches me
Hey Everyone,
I'm so sorry that i have not been around lately... hope that you are all doing well... i wish i can say i'm ok... i'm not... i'm so stressed out and kind of wish that this was a bad dream and not reality
i really need as many prayers as i can get from all of you as my Husband has been diagnosed with Lung Cancer (Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Lung) grade 3-4 it has gotten so out of hand that surgery is completely out of the question, he was admitted in the ER over a week ago when he started to cough out blood and has been kept here in the hospital ever since....
all week has been so overwhelming for me... as i watch him go through tests and see what kind of help they can give him... he had pneumonia when he walked in but from then on all the information that has been shared with us changed us forever...
His left lung has completely collapsed as the mass/tumor grew so large that it swelled the lung and the lung no longer produces any oxygen.
with that said his heart does not act normal... he gets high heart rate spurs randomly.... and gets winded rather fast.... lymph nodes have also spread all over his blood vessels all over his chest area (both sides) that is also why surgery is out of the question right now.
Thank God that has not spread to the brain or kidneys....
tomorrow is a huge day as they have decided to surgically put a port to automatically start (same day) chemo therapy and radiation back to back since it's staged so high and it is a aggressive cancer.
i beg you all to please pray for him as this is going to be a LONG up hill battle for him.... please pray for my husband... he needs all the prayers that he can get... please pray so he may over come this and respond well on treatment and so down the road the tumor can reduce and the lymph nodes can go away, and so if all goes well the tumor/mass can be removed....
thank you all for being such loyal pals....
if you smoke please quit
it's because of cigarettes that he ended up this way...
may god be with you all

Organic food is expensive and I have always said to buy it if you can afford it but don't worry if you cannot. Organic food has not yet been proven healthier so conventional items provide the same nutrition. While one cup of milk (organic or not) has the same calories, calcium and vitamin D, there is one definite difference: the price! A gallon of organic milk usually costs about two times as much as regular milk.
It is completely understandable if you cannot buy organic milk. But if you can make room in your budget for it, I would recommend trying to. Many half-gallon sized organic milks are packaged under ultra-high temperature processing so their shelf life is longer. If you find yourself wasting milk because it goes bad before you finish it, you may want to buy organic and the money will even out since you likely won't end up wasting any of it.
The bottom line: Keep drinking milk and making the best choices you can for your body!

Citation: Luzio, G.A. 2008. Microwave extraction of citrus peel to release pectin using a closed vessel reactor. Florida State Horticultural Society Meeting. Paper No. HP24. Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: After removal of soluble sugars and other compounds by washing, citrus peel is largely composed of pectin, cellulose and hemicellulose. In order to utilize the greatest amount of citrus peel product, it would appear reasonable that one or all three of these polysaccharides be converted to a useful material. One of the components, pectin is relatively easy to modify using enzymes and has great utility in the food industry and other applications. Thus it appears reasonable to focus on the use of pectin for the maximum utilization of fruit peel for new products from peel. Modified pectins have been shown to have calcium sensitivity which is an important functional property of pectins for use in applications which require suspension, metal ion binding or water absorption. Yield stress behavior can be important for pulp stabilization in citrus drinks while providing low viscosity for acceptable mouth feel. Modification of pectin requires the pectin to be a soluble form. Pectin is typically extracted using heat and strong acid conditions at 70 °C. New microwave technology is available which allows for rapid heating and cooling of the extract to temperatures in excess of 100 °C. Data will be presented showing the quantity and quality of pectin which can be extracted at elevated temperatures using mild acid conditions.

What about peaches and pears? I just bought three boxes full, and they'll be crying for attention in a week or less. Can I make a healthy jam/jelly? Can I ferment them into something healthy/probiotic-filled?
For peaches and pears, you can pickle those as well, or you can make a fermented drink from them, a jam, a compote, all sorts of options, dependent on your equipment, time and space allotments.

NT doesn't have any pickled peach or pear recipes actually in it (there's some sort of fruit compote that I'm not interested in). Can someone help me out with instructions or a link to where I can find some?
I would like to make jam/jelly, pickled fruit, and maybe even canned peaches/peach jam that are more TF-friendly (maybe ferment and then can? not sure).
Anyone? I've got to start working on these with in 48-72 hours or they'll be too ripe!
Thanks a ton!
For jam, using Pomona's pectin instead of the conventional ones, and using a natural sweetener instead of refined white sugar goes a long way to improving the healthfulness. I've made jam with rapadura, honey, or apple juice as sweeteners, you can even use agave if that's your preference.

I have made fermented beet juice. It is a lacto fermentation. It is very healthy. I recommenced reading Sally fallon's book Nourishing Traditions for more info on this as I am short on time right now.
You can natural ferment lots of vegetables and they increase in nutrition. You can add a little sea salt and yogurt to most vegetables to ferment them. Sorry I don't have time right now to go into the details, but I highly re commend her book.
Hope this helps
I like it a lot (taken as a tonic) & plan to make it again.
I love Nourishing Traditions, but with fermented foods I've had much better luck with Sandor Katz or online recipes that don't require a whey starter. I tried the NT sauerkraut & a few other things & my family wouldn't touch it.
Mama to my little busy bee.

We are frequently told we are one of the richest countries in the world. Yet in many areas of service to the public we appear to be going backwards. In my youth, many occupations and services did so much to make daily living a little more pleasant and easier in simple ways. Here are a few of the services I am sure people would welcome back with open arms: park keepers, bus conductors, shops such as the butcher and baker where you were served by smiling staff, lift attendants, regular postal deliveries, railway station porters, petrol pump attendants, usherettes, police on the beat, road sweepers and telephone operators who are far more pleasant than a voice telling us we have "the following seven options". Dare I even suggest a weekly rubbish collection?

New Delhi (The Statesman/ANN) - The male friend of the 23-year-old gangrape victim, who is the sole eyewitness in the case, yesterday appeared before a fast-track court to testify about the 16 December incident as the trial in the case began.
Delhi Police also filed its supplementary charge-sheet in the case.
The 28-year-old software engineer came in a wheelchair before the court of Additional Sessions Judge Yogesh Khanna after he was summoned as a prosecution witness in the case.
Although he was kept away from media glare, his father confirmed that his son would give evidence in the trial of the five men who have all denied murder, rape and robbery charges. "My son will go to any length to ensure that the guilty are punished. He will cooperate and is prepared to answer any questions posed by the defence," said the father as the two of them entered the courtroom in the Saket district courts complex.
The 23-year-old paramedicine student died in a Singapore hospital on December 29 from massive internal injuries she sustained during the bus assault a fortnight earlier, which caused outrage across the nation.
She and her male companion had spent the evening at the cinema and were lured onto the off-duty bus after failing to flag down an autorickshaw to take them home. As well as taking turns to rape the medical student and violating her with an iron bar, the group attacked her companion so badly that he is still unable to walk properly. He is the main witness in the case.
Apart from the dying declaration of the girl, her male friend's recorded statement is among the most crucial prosecution evidence in the case. Besides the victim's male friend, the court had also summoned three other prosecution witnesses to depose before the judge.
Meanwhile, a 24-year-old woman suffered serious injuries after an employee of a power distribution company allegedly shoved an iron rod into her mouth while trying to rape her at her home at Lajpat Nagar here. Police arrested the man, identified as Anil, on charges of attempt to murder and rape while the girl is in a private hospital in a critical condition.

Uffda, it's been a long week - a long several weeks actually. I've been super busy at work, and I haven't had time to cook much. We've been eating out and picking up take out more often than I'd like to admit. This weekend Andrew and Lola headed to the cabin to continue repairs after the break-in. I wasn't quite ready to go back yet, and I decided to stay home and relax.
I haven't been sleeping well, and I've been stressed at work so I really just wanted to sleep and recoup this weekend. I haven't had much energy to plan meals let alone cook them, but after 10 hours of uninterrupted sleep on Friday night, I was awake at the crack of dawn on Saturday morning. I stayed in bed for a few more hours hanging out with Elsa and thinking about what I was going to COOK! I spent all day today cooking, cooking, cooking!
I made pasta sauce with Italian sausage and red peppers in the slow cooker, chicken stock for green chile stew and chocolate chip cookies from the Rebar cookbook. It was so fun to spend the whole day in the kitchen chopping, mincing, sautéing, simmering, mixing, baking. I even took a nice little nap during the day's activities, and now I'm watching Amélie and waiting for my loves to come home from Taos. Life is good today!
Tomorrow, I'm going to make the green chile stew and bake a carrot cake with the last of our carrots from the garden.

And to make matters worse the insurance company will not pay for any damage because "A FLAME WAS NOT VISIBLE". What a bunch of crap this is.
Anyone with any knowledge please give me a shout at beemer540ia AT yahoo...
Thank you,
Sorry to hear about your 540i. Mine did the same thing on 28 Nov 07. Lost power at first then flames/smokes came through the vents. The whole engine incenerated. Luckily a CDF truck came by to put the fire out. The FD didn't arrive till 10-15 mins later. My whole car would of blown to bits had the fire not been put out. Who's your insurance? My insurance claimed a total lost. Their evaluation claim is $12k minus $500 deductible. I'm very happy with insurance. I'm suprise your insurance is giving you crap. I would make a complaint with BBB. If you have a police or fire department report, you can produce the evidence. Did the insur company send an evaluator over to your car?

I'm on the search for my next vehicle. Looking to get into something probably around September or October of next year. I've done a lot of project lately around the house where i wish I had a pickup truck, and my next car needs to be AWD. Why not combine the two?
The problem now is fuel economy. I absolutely love the way the Ram looks but it gets such bad fuel economy. Ford and GM are neck and neck with their highway mileage and GM better with city driving. Dodge is no where in sight! Is anything in the works at the Ram house? Are they going to throw their hat in the game anytime soon?

My cat kicks herself in the head with back paw then fights with it. Anyone know why??
She really was fighting her back paw a couple days ago...it sounded like a big cat fight!

I've often commented here that if we could figure out why our cats do the weird things they do and publish a book about it, we'd be able to pay off the National Debt. Dogs chase their tails, and my cats will be sitting still and suddenly jump up and race full tilt across the house chasing...nothing. However, if you notice that your cat is doing damage to her paw, it's time to go to the vet's. You can also try playing with her more than you already do to distract her from attacking her body parts. If she begins to exhibit any other strange behaviors, it's always a good idea to at least phone the vet for their advice.

— At the movies, sibling rivalries can run hot and cold.
They'll fight over women ("Sabrina"), control of the family business ("The Godfather"), con games ("The Brothers Bloom") and sometimes, just because the older brother likes to torment his little bro ("Diary of a Wimpy Kid").
But at the end of the day, blood usually runs too deep to be ignored. The best brothers tend to reconcile by the time the credits roll. Of course, there are exceptions.
Most likely to send you on a one-way fishing trip: Michael Corleone (Al Pacino) in "The Godfather, Part II"
As a crime boss, Vito Corleone's youngest son was ahead of his time. As a family man, he left a lot to be desired. After learning older brother Fredo had betrayed him to a rival crime boss ("I know it was you, Fredo. You broke my heart."), Michael waited patiently for his chance at payback. He was nice enough not to whack poor, weak Fredo (the late John Cazale) while their mother was still alive, but he didn't wait very long afterward. In one of the most memorable scenes of Francis Ford Coppola's classic mob saga, Fredo is sent to sleep with the fishes, on brother Michael's orders. Talk about holding a grudge.
Most likely to ruin your front lawn: Brennan Huff (Will Ferrell) & Dale Doback (John C. Reilly) in "Step Brothers"
Forget boomerang kids. Brennan and Dale never even left their parents' homes in the first place. Forced to live under the same roof when their single parents marry, the two 40 year-old losers struggle to respect each other's boundaries. When Brennan ignores Dale's warning not to touch his drum set, it sets off a sibling slugfest that winds up outside on the front lawn. It could be worse. They could have tried to bury each other alive. Oh, wait. They did.
Most likely to get you kicked out of a casino: Raymond Babbitt (Dustin Hoffman) in "Rain Man"
After learning he has a brother with autism, Charlie (Tom Cruise) decides the best course of action is a cross-country road trip, with a detour to Vegas. There he uses Raymond (Dustin Hoffman) and his gift for total recall to clean up at blackjack — until Raymond admits his good fortune was due to counting cards. That's one Sin that's not allowed in Sin City.
Most likely to fight over a dead brother's girl: Tristan Ludlow (Brad Pitt) & Alfred Ludlow (Aidan Quinn) in "Legends of the Fall"
Tristan and Alfred have a falling out over which one will help grieving Susannah (Julia Ormond) get over the death of little brother Samuel (Henry Thomas). Somehow, Ormond manages to keep Susannah from coming off as a shameless bimbo, despite having gone through everyone in the Ludlow family tree except their dad, the Colonel (Sir Anthony Hopkins). In the end, neither brother gets the girl, but Tristan and Alfred do make peace.
Most likely to beat you senseless: Tommy Riordan (Tom Hardy) and Brendan Conlon (Joel Edgarton) in "Warrior"
We can think of few worse places to settle a longstanding sibling rivalry than a Mixed Martial Arts tournament. That's exactly where estranged brothers Tommy and Brendan wind up. This being Hollywood, you just know where this collision course will end — in the ring, brother against brother. And while we won't spoil the movie for you since it doesn't hit theaters until Sept. 9, we can tell you that these siblings don't hold back. Their family issues are resolved, one crushing blow at a time. Talk about blood brothers.

Picked up this VR with blown front struts, other than that it runs awesome but is a little beat up. Driver seat was torn so I traded a friend my Audi seats for his Corbeau racing seat and Schroth Harness. Threw on my Momo Wood Grain wheel and got a Pioneer head unit with an L7 Kicker and 1000 watt amp to compliment the factory Bose system. Great for a daily and I had the stuff all laying around so I spent $0 there. On to pictures.
When I first got it, pic from the ad
Got it to the wifes parents house and it sat there while I pulled the Rokkors from my other car.
Better tires, different wheels, Rokkors on
Started spray paint fun, I like the flat feel of the High Heat paint
Don't like OEM skirts sold them for $50 and went with truck bed liner, say what you will it's my car my style.
Serge came over and we did some lip/bumper work on our cars
Threw on my red bumpers while the white ones were prepped for spray bed liner and raced to Elk Grove to pick up these Diamond Racing Steelies for a good price, got them on and the ET was like -5 or something so they touched the caliper and poked too much. FAIL.
Volvo lip, smoked corners and sides, need 1 more fog then I'll put the smoked dummies and yellow fogs on
Slapped it together. I like it
Textured moldings and texture all around
And that's my daily. Only money I spent was spray paint everything else I had already. Will be rolling my fenders and put on my Mercedes wheels on when I paint them white and get 205 40 16s.

The OP still has not fought me.
It's Thursday. I issued my challenge on Monday. What is the hold up?
And don't say 'What is WiFi' or anything like that. If you ever READ THE BOX, it says the game has WiFi. And you have been told SEVERAL TIMES how to get WiFi on Pokemon. Stop making excuses and get to work.
Posted 10 May 2007 - 02:36 PM ( #38 )
Oh. If you defeat alot of a certain Pokémon, a hidden total gets added and you get more points added to that stat at level up.
Are you kidding?
Okay, to let you know, I don't even know how EV training works. All I know is that if you train in one area for extended periods of time that your Pokemon are good at, your stats start getting godly. I saw my Gallade go up one level and get +7 to Attack, +6 to Defense, and +5 to his Speed. In the same level. The rest were +2s and +1s mixed around.
I don't rightly understand how EV training works, but if I did, I would love to help you out in learning how to use it to your advantage.

Police blotter Week of 5-15-2014
By Tim Clifford
Suspect found in yearbook
A street robbery occurred at a Rapid Line stop on the 2600 block of S.W. Barton St. just before 3 p.m. on May 7. The victim was standing and waiting for the bus with his laptop in a carrying case leaned against his leg. The suspect, a black male around 14 years old and standing about between 5'2 and 5'4 and wearing a red and white striped Chicago Bulls beanie, came running up and swooped down to grab the laptop. Before he could make off with the computer the victim grabbed the bag's strap and began violently wrestling with the suspect eventually being elbowed and swung away by the suspect. The suspect ran off into a nearby park and got away.
When officers contacted the victim he informed them that he knew who the suspect was and explained that he could identify the suspect in his yearbook as they both attended the same school. Officers quickly found out that the suspect and his brother have been identified in past shoplifting incidents and a metro bus incident.
At about 5:30 p.m. officers spotted a subject who matched the description given by the victim and was wearing the same beanie. Officers detained the subject long enough for the victim to come by and give identification. The victim told officers this wasn't the suspect. It turned out to be his older brother who looks very much like the suspect and was now wearing the same beanie that the suspect had had during the earlier robbery.
Officers set up a time to interview the victim the next day and have him show them the suspect in the yearbook.
Robbed before vacation
Just before 4 a.m. on May 2 an armed robbery occurred on California Ave. S.W. and S.W. Dawson St. The two victims were waiting on the street with bags and luggage to be picked up by a friend for a trip out of town. They noticed two males standing nearby talking about a bus they were looking for.
Suddenly the two suspects, a black male and Asian male, approached the two victims with handguns out and pointed. They told the victims to give them all of their belongings and then ordered them to the ground. The victims described the two suspects as seeming unprepared for what to do next and that they also appeared to be confused during the robbery. Once the suspects got the bags from the two victims they ran off eastbound.
When police arrived they set up a containment area and searched with a K-9 unit to no avail. The victims were uninjured and were left with a case number. One of the victims claimed he could identify at least one suspect if he saw him again.
Crimes reported by block between May 8 and May 15
Burglaries by block: 8100 block of 12 Ave. S.W., 1400 block of S.W. Roxbury St., 2600 block of S.W. Barton St., 7500 block of 11 Ave. S.W, 8800 block of 37 Ave. S.W.
Car thefts by block: 35 Ave. S.W./ S.W. Andover St., 1000 block of Harbor Ave. S.W., 5400 block of 45 Ave. S.W.

We have developed a self-contained liquid cell, which allows imaging through liquids using a transmission electron microscope. Dynamic processes of nanoparticles in liquids can be revealed in real time with sub-nanometer resolution.
Date Published: 12/20/2012, Issue 70; doi: 10.3791/50122
Keywords: Materials Science, Issue 70, Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, Physics, Engineering, Life sciences, Liquid cell, Transmission Electron Microscopy, TEM, In situ TEM, Single nanoparticle trajectory, dynamic imaging, nanocrystals
Niu, K. Y., Liao, H. G., Zheng, H. Revealing Dynamic Processes of Materials in Liquids Using Liquid Cell Transmission Electron Microscopy. J. Vis. Exp. (70), e50122, doi:10.3791/50122 (2012).
The recent development for in situ transmission electron microscopy, which allows imaging through liquids with high spatial resolution, has attracted significant interests across the research fields of materials science, physics, chemistry and biology. The key enabling technology is a liquid cell. We fabricate liquid cells with thin viewing windows through a sequential microfabrication process, including silicon nitride membrane deposition, photolithographic patterning, wafer etching, cell bonding, etc. A liquid cell with the dimensions of a regular TEM grid can fit in any standard TEM sample holder. About 100 nanoliters reaction solution is loaded into the reservoirs and about 30 picoliters liquid is drawn into the viewing windows by capillary force. Subsequently, the cell is sealed and loaded into a microscope for in situ imaging. Inside the TEM, the electron beam goes through the thin liquid layer sandwiched between two silicon nitride membranes. Dynamic processes of nanoparticles in liquids, such as nucleation and growth of nanocrystals, diffusion and assembly of nanoparticles, etc., have been imaged in real time with sub-nanometer resolution. We have also applied this method to other research areas, e.g., imaging proteins in water. Liquid cell TEM is poised to play a major role in revealing dynamic processes of materials in their working environments. It may also bring high impact in the study of biological processes in their native environment.
The study of chemical reactions in liquids in real time and imaging biological materials in their native environment have been of significant interests across the research fields1-5. Due to the high spatial resolution of transmission electron microscopy (TEM), imaging through liquids using TEM has attracted a lot of attention4,5. However, it has been a great challenge to image liquid samples using TEM, since the conventional microscope is operated in a high vacuum environment. In addition, liquid samples have to be thin enough to allow the electron beam to go through. Williamson et al.6 reported that imaging of electrochemical deposition of Cu can be achieved with 5 nm resolution using an electrochemical liquid cell operated in a TEM. De Jonge et al.1 was able to image biological samples through serveral micrometer thick water using a scanning(S) TEM. The low contrast of the biological samples was not raised as an issue since gold nanoparticles were used as markers for imaging. The thick liquid sample was not a problem either since STEM imaging mode was used and nanometer resolution was achieved. We recently developed a self-contained liquid cell, which allows real time TEM imaging of colloidal nanoparticles in liquids with subnanometer resolution5,7. These newly developed liquid cells, which offer improved resolution and faster TEM imaging (30 frames per second that has not been achieved by high resolution STEM imaging), made it possible to study colloidal nanoparticle dynamics in liquids. The liquid cells fit in a standard TEM holder and can be operated as regular TEM samples. A small amount of liquid (about 30 picoliters) can be examined in situ under an extended chemical reaction. Various imaging and analytical (i.e., energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy) techniques can be applied. Since the total thickness of the viewing window (including membranes and the liquid layer) can be controlled to 100 nm or below, direct imaging of biological samples (i.e. proteins) in liquid water without gold nanoparticle markers has also been achieved 8.
In the past two decades, there have been significant achievements on the syntheses and applications of colloidal nanocrystals9-11. However, the understanding of how nanoparticles nucleate, grow and interact with each other in liquids is largely empirical and mostly based on ex situ analyses11-13. Our development of liquid cell TEM provides a unique platform to study the dynamic processes of nanoparticles in liquids in situ5,7,14,15.
We fabricate a self-contained liquid cell using ultra thin silicon wafers (100 μm) by a sequential microfabrication process. It includes deposition of silicon nitride membrane, photolithographic patterning, wafer etching, spacer deposition, and cell bonding, etc. About 50 nanoliters of the reaction solution is loaded into a reservoir, which is drawn into the cell by capillary force. We fill the other reservoir with another 50 nanoliters of the liquid. Subsequently, the cell is sealed and loaded into the microscope for in situ imaging. Inside the microscope, the liquid sandwiched between two silicon nitride membranes (total about 30 picoliters) can be examined. When the electron beam passes through the thin liquid layer, dynamic processes of nanoparticles in liquids can be monitored in real time. Nucleation and growth of nanoparticles can be induced by the electron beam in some cases5,7 or reactions can be triggered by an external heating source14,16. When the electron beam damage is of a concern, low electron beam current (dose) should be used.
Since liquid cells are fabricated from silicon microfabrication processes and in large batches, variations in membrane or liquid thickness among individual liquid cells can be small6. Any researcher who has basic microfabrication training can successfully make liquid cells. The liquid handling technique and in situ TEM operation can also be mastered after practice. It is noted that besides using silicon nitride membranes as the viewing windows, other materials such as silicon dioxide, silicon or carbon (including graphene) can be used as the membrane window as well17-19. Since our liquid cells using small viewing windows, i.e., 1 x 50 μm, no bulging of the membranes has been observed. And, the liquid cell is also robust to operate, i.e. below 1% of liquid cells have broken windows during the experiments. In addition, thickness of the liquid layer can also be flexibly tuned by changing the thickness of the deposited indium spacer. During sample preparation, a sealed liquid cell can maintain liquids for several days with no leakage. The small amount of liquid can be examined for several hours under the electron beam, which allows the study of an extended chemical reaction in real time.
So far, we have visualized many unique dynamic processes of nanoparticles in liquids, for example, growth and coalescence of Pt nanoparticles5,15, diffusion of nanoparticles in thin liquids20,21, growth fluctuation of Bi nanoparticles14, and growth of Pt3Fe nanorods from nanoparticle building blocks7, etc. In addition, we have also applied this method to other areas, e.g., imaging proteins in liquid water with 2.7 nm resolution8. In summary, our liquid cell TEM technique has been proven to be a very valuable development for the study of a wide range of fundamental issues in materials science, physics, chemistry and biology. We believe there is still large room for future technical advances and applications of the liquid TEM and it will certainly be a high impact on a broad spectrum of scientific research.

1. Microfabrication of Liquid Cells
The whole fabrication process is shown in Figure 1. We conduct all the fabrication processes at the Nanofabrication Lab of the University of California, Berkeley.
2. Preparation of Reaction Solutions
We prepare the reaction solutions for the growth Pt3Fe nanorods as an example. Platinum (II) acetylacetonate (20 mg/ml) and Iron (II) acetylacetonate (20 mg/ml) were dissolved in a solvent mixture of pentadecane and oleylamine (7:3 vol/vol) or a mixture of pentadecane, oleylamine, and oleic acid (6:3:1 vol/vol/vol) is used for the comparison of surfactant effects.

By using liquid cell TEM method, we have visualized the solution growth of Pt3Fe nanorods from nanoparticle building blocks. Figure 2 shows sequential images depicting the growth trajectory of a Pt3Fe nanorod in different solution conditions. False coloring process using Photoshop was employed to highlight the nanoparticles.
When the solvent mixture of pentadecane and oleylamine (7:3 vol/vol) was used, three distinct stages of growth can be identified (Figure 2A). Firstly, many small nanoparticles are formed when the Pt and Fe precursors are reduced by electron beam irradiation. Some of them grow by monomer attachment; others undergo coalescence. Secondly, short nanoparticle chains are formed via nanopaticle interactions. Thirdly, the as-formed short nanoparticles chains act as building blocks to form relatively long winding nanoparticle chains. When a mixture of pentadecane, oleylamine, and oleic acid (6:3:1 vol/vol/vol) was used, winding nanoparticle chains are formed first, and then the nanoparticle chains straighten and form single-crystalline nanorods within a short period of time (Figure 2B).
In summary, we have shown the formation of single crystal nanorods via the growth of winding polycrystalline nanoparticle chains from shape-directed nanoparticle attachment followed by the straightening, orientation and shape corrections of the building blocks. Statistics and quantification of nanoparticle dynamics from the real-time imaging are of great significance to the understanding and control of hierarchical nanomaterials growth and self-assembly for functional devices7.

All fabrication processes have been done in the clean room, where semiconductor devices are made.
Before the deposition of indium, O2 plasma cleaning of the chips is necessary to eliminate the organic residue on the surface. Thus, a high quality indium spacer can be achieved, which can improve the bonding of top and bottom chips and the yield of leakage free liquid cells.
The silicon nitride viewing windows with ultrathin membrane of about 13 nm thick is a key to achieve high spatial resolution. When handling such liquid cells, special care is needed to avoid breaking the membrane during fabrication as well as experiments. For example, tweezers with a flat front are recommended. And, during the membrane cleaning process, low power and dose of O2 plasma can be incorporated (i.e., 30 Walt for 20-30 sec). Since growth kinetics can be highly dependent on the electron beam current density, maintaining the same electron beam current density while imaging is important. The liquid cell TEM method not only enables the study of growth dynamics of nanocrystals in solution in real time, but also allows revealing other dynamic processes (i.e., diffusion of nanoparticles in liquids, liquid droplet dynamics, etc.). In addition, it provides a promising pathway to visualize biological processes in the native environment.

'03 escape fwd axle nut..
trying to get my son's car alt out.. wow what a mess... getting to all the nuts on the exh manifold ain't fun, so i'm going to pull the axle and go that route... i measured the nut, flat to flat and its 24mm but some web site say 32mm.. any insite on the PITA job. 2003 ford escape V6 fwd automatic.
did i measure it wrong ??
tks bill
Pull the Axle, and there is a stud for the alt bracket that may need to come out.It will EEK out and EEK back in.But it will fit, I have done it. You will have to "nudge the engine forward" a little.Dont recall nut size.
Taking off the exhaust and all that Is BS.
alt removal
i got it out....FINALLY !!!!!!!!!!!! as for measuring the nut size i need a class in reading the caliper i used.. was looking at the wrong spot on the slider, thats why i got it wrong... look up stupid and you'll see my picture.. yes droping the exh was not needed, but i did need to pull the alt bracket for more room.. if the alt was a nats butt bigger u'd need to pull the engine..
what a pain.. now tonite to put it back.. woop peeeeee
stop by an autoparts store and get a new nut..
they are a one time deal
wheel nut..
wow.. tks, i did not know that.. will do that soon then..
tks for the info..

Modification advise
Hello to all members, Just a newbie so excuse me if i have posted in the wrong section or if this matter has been covered. However i have an 2003 Clubspec evo 6 WRX with the following
AVO-500 roller turbo
Xforce Turboback exhaust
Hyperflow TMIC
Denso 750cc Injectors
Turbosmart FPR 800Hp
Bigger Fuel pump
k&n panel filter in stock airbox
Stock BOV
21psi & 204KW
My question is is it worth going for an cold air intake with a k&n or Hyperflow filter coming down the side guard along with an aftermarket b.o.v
If so what will be the benefits and anything in power increase?
Please help as i await to hear your responses. Thank you members
If neither of the part you mentioned are a restriction I wouldnt waste money on replacing them. Thats just my advice. You might see small gains with a proper CAI and a tune, but if your BPV isnt leaking there is no need to replace it at all.
I second on the BPV, although 21 psi is pushing its limits.

That stock intake is absolutely a restriction. If his intake is the same one we have then he would have benefited from one on a stock turbo, nevermind an AVO 500, which is the size of a Dom 1.5 XT. That turbo is overkill for the car though, and your power number seem low for how much boost you're making.
Hi guys, Iv just spoken to my mechanic and the car is 20psi sorry not 21psi. Power wise thats all the mods iv done, there is no head work or any other internals etc. It has only been tunes once after all the mods and it pushed 204kw since than iv added an up-pipe as the factory one was rattling. Im thinking of adding an hyperflow cold air intake and unsure on what bov. Once thats complete i will be returning for another tune. All advise required thanks guys
There is still no reason that at 20 psi you shouldn't be making 260 kW on a turbo that size. I would expect what you're making on a low boost map.
Im really unsure about that, however I will take it to another tuner and get them
To have a look once I install the cold air and bov however still unsure if I need a bov if
So which one. Thanks
Intake and take it to another tuner.
Will do mate also it's still got the standard computer, I think it was flashed last time what's your recommendations on that, and the bov thanks
BOV can hold up to 24PSI (I have seen) it had the "crush mod" done to it tho, A quick google search will get you a "how to" for it. But I would stick with someone like Cobb, GFB (Go Fast Bits) or Turbo Smart for a quality BPV. Be sure that you get a By Pass Valve (like the stock one) that recirculates your air back into the intake, and not one that completely vents your air right to the atmosphere, its noisy and you could run into performance issue with it.
Thanks for that tip I will change that along with the cai and re tune the car. Is there anything else worth adding before heading back to the rollers??
Add a Forge BPV to that list as well.
3port BCS - Grimmspeed/COBB/Prodrive
I thought you guys in Australia were born knowing everything about these cars. It's in your blood isn't it? Those injectors are holding you back...
Lol, don't know about Australia in general but I'm unsure myself, and what do you mean by the injectors what would I need to replace them with if they are the problem
750cc injectors will max out pretty quick on that turbo is what he means.
Depends how aggresive you want the tune to be IMHO

Toledo – Casey Fien (RHP)
Having had a whirlwind spring training that involved stops with the Boston Red Sox, Toronto Blue Jays, and then back with the Tigers, it was nice to see Fien finally settle in with a spectacular performance in May. Casey took the mound ten times for the Hens, totaling 14 1/3 innings. He allowed only nine hits and three walks for the month, and picked up two saves. All of that combined to help him notch a 1.26 ERA. Fien worked to locate his pitches more effectively last month, and the results were outstanding. Though he is no longer on the 40-man roster, Fien could be positioning himself for another big league opportunity in the near future if he continues pitching like this.
Runner-Up: LJ Gagnier (RHP)
Erie – Andrew Oliver (LHP)
The Tigers were extremely aggressive in their assignment of Oliver for his official professional debut, skipping over A-ball, and sending him directly to Double-A. Oliver had a rocky first month with Erie, posting a 5.03 ERA in four starts. That all changed in May, as he settled in and showed why the Tigers gave him a seven-figure signing bonus after last year's draft. In six starts for the Seawolves, Oliver posted a 3-1 record with a 2.36 ERA. In 34 1/3 innings, he allowed just 26 hits and eight walks, while striking out 26. Though it is just his first season in pro ball, Oliver's improvement and raw stuff could get him a big league taste before the end of the season.
Runner-Up: Zach Simons (RHP)
Lakeland – Charlie Furbush (LHP)
Furbush has been the talk of town amongst Tiger fans over the last month or so, as he has gone from solid minor league arm, to dominating the Florida State League. With an offense that was red-hot for much of May, the Flying Tigers provided Furbush with much of the support he would need in his six starts. Charlie notched a 1.76 ERA in 41 innings, but that might not be the most impressive numbers he posted last month. Furbush allowed only 20 hits and six walks, while holding opposing hitters to a .141 average against. Over that same span, he struck out an incredible 61 hitters. Scouts may be mixed on Furbush's future, but one thing is for certain, he is taking it to the FSL and the hitters he faced in May were no match.
Runner-Up: Luke Putkonen (RHP)
West Michigan – Giovanni Soto (LHP)
Now all of 19-years old after celebrating his birthday last month, Soto has taken to his first full-season assignment very well. After a solid first month with West Michigan, Soto turned it up a notch in May. In five starts last month, Soto picked up one complete game shutout, and logged 31 1/3 innings. Though the Whitecaps have struggled to pick up wins as a team, Soto's pitching has helped lead them to a few, and he finished May with a 3-1 record. In his 31-plus innings, he allowed 29 hits and six walks, with 24 strikeouts. Scouts still see projection in Soto's body and stuff, and there is a chance he could just be scratching the surface of his talents.

Fossil range: Late Pliocene - Late Pleistocene
|File:Hippidion skeleton.JPG

| †Hippidion
Roth, 1899
Hippidion (meaning little horse) was a Welsh pony-sized horse that lived in South America during the Pleistocene epoch, between two million and 10,000 years ago.
Hippidion has been considered a descendant of pliohippines[1], horses that migrated into the South American continent around 2.5 million years ago.[1][2] However, recent analysis of the DNA of Hippidion and other New World Pleistocene horses supports the novel hypothesis that Hippidion is actually a member of the living genus Equus, with a particularly close relationship to the wild horse, Equus ferus.[1][2] It stood about approximately 1.4 metres (4.6 ft) (also 13.2 hh) high at the shoulders and resembled a donkey. Evidence from the delicate structure of the nasal bones in the animal suggests that Hippidion evolved in isolation from the other horse species of North America.
Hippidion and other South American horses went extinct approximately 8000 years ago. Specific archaeological recovery at the Cueva del Milodon site in Patagonian Chile demonstrates that a species of Hippidion (Hippidion saldiasi)[3] existed in that vicinity in the era of 10,000 to 12,000 years before present. Horses did not reappear there until the 16th century, as a result of introduction by humans.

Bucs Friday Report: MRSA Claims Another Bucs Player
By Tom Krasniqi
What else could possibly go wrong this season? It's bad enough that the Bucs are 0-4 and still looking for that elusive first win. But the on-field focus has been hampered by the MRSA scare. Yup, MRSA is back and it has claimed yet another victim.
The team confirmed on Friday that a third player has been diagnosed with MRSA. This news comes after Carl Nicks and Lawrence Tynes initially came down with it during training camp. The Bucs revealed yesterday that Nicks had it for a second time.
The Bucs are not revealing who the player is, but multiple reports have confirmed that rookie corner Johnthan Banks is the latest victim. Banks was not on the practice field on Friday. During a press conference on Friday, GM Mark Dominik would not confirm that Banks had MRSA. He did say that the "player" came forward with some concerns on Wednesday. Cultures were taken and tests confirmed on Thursday night that Banks had tested positive for MRSA.
Dr. Deverick Anderson from the Duke Infection Control Outreach Network (DICON) addressed the team Friday morning to alleviate their concerns about MRSA. Players said afterward that the meeting was informative and educational.
"I think our organization has chosen to be very committed to making this place a safe working environment," said wideout Vincent Jackson on Friday. "Bringing the best of the best in the world down here to speak with us—talk to us about it, inform us. I think guys feel really confident about it."
While Jackson was upbeat about the MRSA scare, there were some players who had some concerns.
"Of course, something so serious like this, you're scared and concerned," said cornerback Leonard Johnson said. "But we had one of the top doctors fly in on a private jet today and come in and talk with us for about [one] hour to educate us on what's going on. That put a lot of guys' minds at ease…especially mine."
The team has spent the last couple of days dealing with MRSA again. The players and staff are understandably edgy. And oh by the way, the Bucs host the high flying Eagles this Sunday.
As for the final injury report for the Bucs, Banks did not practice today and is listed as questionable for Sunday with an "illness". Nicks did not practice on Friday and he's listed as questionable.
The good news for the Bucs is that TE Tom Crabtree (ankle) practiced all week and he will make his Bucs debut on Sunday. Safeties Dashon Goldson (foot) and Mark Barron (hamstring) along with OL Gabe Carimi (illness), DT Derek Landri (knee), DE Steven Means (shoulder) and CB Rashaan Melvin (hamstring) are all probable.
WR Mike Williams (hamstring) was limited in practice and is questionable. CB Michael Adams (knee) did not practice and is out.
Notable injuries for the Eagles: QB Mike Vick (hamstring) practiced fully on Friday and is listed as questionable. This really complicates matters for the Bucs. Head coach Chip Kelly is not revealing his starting quarterback until Sunday. If Vick can't go, Nick Foles will start. TE James Casey (groin) is questionable. LT Jason Peters (finger), LB Connor Barwin (knee) and CB Brandon Boykin (groin) are probable.
News & Notes:
- Schiano says the possibility of surgery for Carl Nicks is "too soon for us to know that." Dr. Anderson hinted that MRSA had penetrated into the bone in his foot. If that's the case, then surgery is likely.
- From what he was able to observe, Dr. Anderson says One Buc Place says is "a safe environment for players and staff." Anderson says the affected players will be treated with "source control" by using a disinfectant for the skin. Anderson says sanitizing One Buc Place again is not necessary. Every player or staff member is not being cultured unless they have clinical signs or symptoms for MRSA.
- Bucs WR Vincent Jackson says he spent some extra time working with rookie QB Mike Glennon during the bye week: "He's up to speed…I don't have any questions about him back there when he's in that pocket. He knows exactly where he needs to go with the ball and he's going to make some great decisions." Expect the Bucs to attempt more deep passes.
- The big challenge for the Bucs this week is trying to contain Philly's top ranked rushing attack. The Eagles are averaging 186 rushing yards per game. RB LeSean McCoy leads the league in rushing yards (514) and yards from scrimmage (700).
- The last time the Bucs saw QB Nick Foles, he threw a touchdown pass to WR Jeremy Maclin as time expired last December to give the Eagles a 23-21 win at Ray Jay. Foles finished the game with 381 yards and two touchdown passes. He added one touchdown on the ground as well.
- CB Leonard Johnson was asked about the condition of CB Johnthan Banks: "They told me I can't speak on that so I'm sorry about that."
- Former Bucs TE Kellen Winslow (now with the Jets) has been suspended 4 games after testing positive for PEDs. He's eligible to return in early November
- The Bucs will host the Philadelphia Eagles at Raymond James Stadium on Sunday. You can catch the game on 620 WDAE and 95.3FM with our coverage beginning at 9am with the Floor & Décor Countdown To Kickoff show.

By this point, we're all pretty familiar with the phenomenon that is the Ice Bucket Challenge and what a great job it's done to raise lots of awareness and money for ALS research. Of course, there are still many other worthy causes out there in need of support and lots of people using unusual methods to generate interest and funds. In that spirit, one software developer is using his coding skills to fight cancer, and is encouraging other programmers to join him.
Derek Clark is an independent app developer in Tennessee who's been personally touched by cancer. His father was recently diagnosed with it, after having already beaten cancer twice in the past. In response, Clark decided to direct his charitable giving this year to Stand Up to Cancer (SU2C), a program run by the entertainment industry with lots of celebrity involvement to raise money for cancer research.
Rather than just make a donation to SU2C, though, Clark has organized an event called App Devs Stand Up to Cancer, in which he will donate all the sales revenue generated by his apps for one day, September 4, 2014 (which falls the day before the annual telethon that SU2C hosts). Clark has invited other developers to also donate revenue from the apps on that day, whether it's just one of their apps or all of their apps.
I emailed Clark to find out a little bit more about his efforts. He told me that, so far, 4 developers have committed to donate that day's revenue generated by 25 apps to the SU2C cause. He told me that while this is the first time he's organized this type of effort, it probably won't be the last. "I do plan to make this a yearly event though that will hopefully grow in the years to come."
If you're an app developer and would like to join the App Devs Stand Up to Cancer cause, you can reach out to Clark via email or through the contact form on his site. He only needs a few pieces of information for each app, such as its name, description, icon, (256x256) and the link to it in the app store.
