Carlos Vela was the architect as Arsenal booked their place in the Carling Cup quarter-finals with victory over Wigan.
The gifted Mexican youngster scored a sublime third goal as Arsene Wenger's youngsters proved too good for an experienced Latics side.
Chris Kirkland produced a string of outstanding saves in the first half before finally being beaten as Jay Simpson stabbed home after Jack Wilshere's through ball.
Vela then left Emmerson Boyce in a heap as he broke down the left before rolling the ball across the box for Simpson to help himself to a second in the 66th minute.
And Vela then scored the goal of the night as he raced onto Johan Djourou's pass and chipped Kirkland from the edge of the box, before Lukasz Fabianski produced an astonishing double save to deny Daniel de Ridder and Amr Zaki.
The attacking potency of Wenger's youngsters had been evident as early as the 12th minute when Vela burst through the Wigan defence.
He attempted to round Kirkland in the Wigan goal but the keeper managed to get a hand to the ball and divert it to safety.
But Wigan's inability to clear their lines only served up another chance for the Gunners and this time Simpson rattled the crossbar with a ferocious effort.
Arsenal were now beginning to pick holes in the Wigan defence at will and when Vela set-up Kieran Gibbs in the 17th minute, it required another stunning save from Kirkland to keep the scores level.
But Wigan hit back and Arsenal had Fabianski to thank for denying De Ridder with a fine save.
Vela was causing all kinds of problems for the visiting defence and in the 20th minute he won a free-kick when Bramble sent him tumbling 25 yards out.
Wigan almost paid a costly price for the foul as Aaron Ramsey's free-kick was only just kept out by a superb one-handed stop from Kirkland.
Seconds later Kirkland repeated the feat to keep out a long-range Vela effort that was destined for the top corner.
The impressive striker had attempted to curl the ball into the corner but Kirkland somehow managed to get his fingertips to it.
However, Wigan still had their moments and Zaki was again unable to direct his header on target when De Ridder had managed to engineer some space on the right flank to send over a dangerous cross.
But Arsenal continue to pile forward and Maynor Figueroa had to time his tackle well to prevent Simpson from moving in on goal in the 35th minute.
A corner by Wilshere moments later presented Djourou with a chance to open the scoring but the ball would just not come down quick enough for the defender to get his shot away and Wigan cleared the danger.
In the 39th minute Arsenal's Fran Merida cut in from the left wing and sent a low drive heading towards goal only for the ball to take a deflection and spin just wide.
Arsenal's Mark Randall was penalised for a foul on De Ridder in the 41st minute but Fabianski dealt comfortably with the subsequent free-kick.
But Kirkland's heroics counted for nothing when he was finally beaten a minute later.
It was a typically clever Arsenal move as Simpson latched on to a superb through-ball from Wilshere and poked the ball beyond the keeper despite a late lunge from Mario Melchiot.
Wigan began the second half far brighter and Zaki should have done better from the edge of the penalty area in the 51st minute but his shot was dealt with easily by Fabianski.
But Arsenal responded quickly with Simpson heading a cross from Merida just over the crossbar. In the 57th minute Merida forced Kirkland into another fine save with a low 20-yard drive that swerved all the way.
A minute later Wigan boss Steve Bruce replaced midfielder Jason Koumas with striker Henri Camara.
In the 62nd minute Arsenal almost went 2-0 up when a wonderful piece of skill from Ramsey set up Gibbs who sped into the penalty area and unleashed an angled drive that Kirkland saved with his feet.
Mexican Vela also went close a minute later when his drive rose just too high to trouble Kirkland.
But in the 67th minute, a stunning counter attack brought Arsenal their second. Vela ran the length of the Wigan half, leaving Boyce trailing in his wake, before crossing for Simpson to apply a simple finish.
The Mexican made it three for Arsenal in the 70th minute when he produced a superb chip over Kirkland from 18 yards to finish another wonderful night for the young Gunners.
Wigan's night was made more miserable two minutes from time when they were robbed of a consolation goal by a fantastic double save from Fabianski to deny De Ridder and then Zaki.

More than 60 per cent of senior Australians die in aged care programs with a further 75 per cent accessing services in the 12 months before their death, according to a new national report.
The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare report, which was released on Wednesday, found 116,500 Australians aged 65 years or older died during 2010-11 with women dying at an average age of 85.2 years compared with 81.5 years for men.
Justine Boland, who co-ordinates the Institute's community service department, said the report assessed the different ways older Australians accessed the aged-care system.
"A lot of these aged care programs stand alone so to be able to link them together gives us a better sense of the sector's diverse use," she said.
"Most people start by using community care but not everyone ends up using residential aged care, as community care tends to meet a lot of people's needs."
The report found residential aged care was the final program used by more than half of the deceased and a further 36 per cent passed away while receiving community care.
"It was fairly common for people to use only community care or both communities care and residential care in their last years of life," Ms Boland said.
The average age of death for those aged over 65 years was 83.4 years old with men more likely to die before women.
"Consistent with the greater longevity of women, the women tended to be older than the men when they died, with a mean age at death of 85.2 compared with 81.5 for men," the report said.
Those who did not access aged care services died six years earlier on average at 78 years old.
"It was interesting to see a sharp increase in the number of people taking up aged care in their last six months of their lives, especially for those in the middle of the age cohort," Ms Boland said.
The report found that 62 per cent of people studied were a client of an aged care program when they died.
"A further 18 per cent were split fairly evenly between those who had left aged care within 10 weeks of death and those who had not been in a care program for at least 10 weeks," the report said.
Ms Boland said about 10 per cent of seniors stopped using aged care services in the three months before their death with many possible explanations.
"Hospitalisation and use of specialist palliative care before death is the likely explanation for this phenomenon, with almost half of older people dying in hospital," she said.
Ms Boland said the Institute would continue to study the different uses of the aged care system to inform government policy.

Social analysis is a term used in Social sciences and the Humanities, notably in C. Wright Mills' The Sociological Imagination, Bertrand Russell's Power: A New Social Analysis, Anthony Giddens's Central Problems in Social Theory: Action, Structure and Contradiction in Social Analysis, Zygmunt Bauman's The Social Analysis of Class Structure and Janet Ford, Roger Burrows, and Sarah Nettleton, (2001) Home Ownership in a Risk Society: A Social Analysis of Mortgage Arrears and Possessions .
Social Analysis: The International Journal of Cultural and Social Practice was a journal from the University of Adelaide School of Social Sciences, specialising in the intersection of Anthropology and the humanities.
Tertiary EducationEdit
At Athabasca University, the Centre for Global & Social Analysis describes itself as "an interdisciplinary department made up of historians, philosophers, sociologists, and other professors and tutors specializing in the fields of human geography, political economy, global studies, environmental studies, music studies, and religious studies."
The University of California, Irvine offers an Master of Arts in Social Sciences (Concentration in Demographic and Social Analysis) and a Master of Arts in Social Ecology (Concentration in Demographic and Social Analysis).
The World Bank website offers a Social analysis sourcebook and a history of Social analysis at the World Bank:
"Social analysis entered the Bank's agenda in 1968, when then-Bank President Robert McNamara emphasized the importance of addressing world poverty. In an institution that had primarily invested in roads, bridges and dams, this announcement signaled a paradigm shift that was pivotal in reshaping the Bank's outlook regarding the relevance of social issues to the lending portfolio.73 The World Bank was not alone in undergoing this fundamental shift in approach. Many other multilateral, bilateral and academic institutions began searching for the best way to factor the "social" into development. The United Nations created the Human Development Index (HDI) as a means of better assessing the human condition throughout the world."

Target: Hiroyuki Nagahama, Minister of the Environment of Japan
Goal: Prosecute pet stores that openly advertise endangered slow lorises for sale as pets
With their large eyes and unusual features, slow lorises are prime targets for illegal sale on the exotic pet trade. But while they may appeal to pet owners, lorises just aren't cut out for domestic life. Their highly specialized diet can only be found in their natural habitat, and their social tendencies lead them to become depressed when isolated in captivity. As a result, many slow lorises die soon after they're taken home by human owners.
Slow lorises have long appeared for sale illegally in pet stores around Asia, but a newly discovered species of the animal now gives extra cause for concern. This new loris, discovered in Borneo, is estimated to be rapidly disappearing due to poaching. It hasn't even been studied long enough to earn an official protected species designation. Without increased protections, this new Bornean loris risks extinction before it can be understood fully by scientists.
While the purchase of exotic mammals like the slow loris is illegal in most developed countries, some governments take an increasingly lax approach to regulating the pet trade. Shops in Japan are able to advertise their lorises openly without fear of repercussion. As a result, loris ownership is normalized within society, leading people who want a unique pet to believe that buying a loris is legal and safe for the animal.
The Japanese government needs to take a stand on the illegal pet trade. The lives of too many creatures–many of them near extinction–are at stake. Sign the petition below to demand the Japanese government crack down on pet stores advertising and selling slow lorises.
Dear Hiroyuki Nagahama,
Slow lorises may appear to be friendly, adorable pets, but the sale of the species inflicts immeasurable suffering upon the animal. Naturally social creatures, slow lorises become depressed and listless while in solitary captivity. They are not domesticated enough to enjoy the human companionship that is forced upon them. And without their natural diet, which can be found only in their native habitat, they soon wither and die from malnourishment.
Despite all this, many shops in Japan continue to advertise openly slow lorises as available pets. People are free to walk into a pet store and take home a loris without even knowing that what they have done is illegal. The sale of this exotic animal might be against the law on the books, but in practice, it's as easy as purchasing a dog or a cat.
The slow loris deserves better protection from the government of Japan. Newly discovered species of the creature are already dwindling down to alarmingly low numbers as poachers abduct them for sale in the exotic pet trade. I urge you to enforce Japan's existing laws on the sale of exotic animals more strictly for the sake of this rare and enigmatic species.

Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson: Top 10 Relationship Quotes (PHOTOS)
After reports of the indiscretion lit up the web, Us Weekly published paparazzi snaps that seem to show Stewart getting intimate with Sanders — who has two child with model wife Liberty Ross — during a daytime rendezvous in a car.
Stewart has since apologized for the fling, telling PEOPLE, "I'm deeply sorry for the hurt and embarrassment I've caused to those close to me and everyone this has affected. This momentary indiscretion has jeopardized the most important thing in my life, the person I love and respect the most, Rob. I love him, I love him, I'm so sorry."
Just two days ago, Stewart, 22, attended the Teen Choice Awards with longtime love Pattinson, 26, seemingly as head-over-heels as ever. The two have tried to keep their own romance under wraps, only speaking about each other briefly throughout their relationship.
What have the Twilight lovers said about each other in the past? Click through the gallery to see their relationship quotes.
Just last week, Blackbook Magazine released its latest cover issue with Pattinson, who opened up about the ongoing tabloid reports about his romance with the Snow White and the Huntsman actress. He even hinted that wedding bells could be in their near future.
"There was a magazine, with these pictures, saying I was getting married. No one ever knows what is true or what isn't," Pattinson said in the September issue. "Even my own mum called to ask me if it was true. It's not. At least, not yet."
In December 2011, Stewart opened up to Glamour UK about constantly being asked about her relationship with Pattinson.
"It's funny when this question comes up, because I sort of feel like, I don't really care! People can say whatever they want," she said.
"[The interest] is totally understandable, but when it's personal to you, it's like your life becomes a product, and I'm repelled by that. I don't like to give away gems that people are gonna be like. 'Oh my God!' So I'll always just shrug it off – in fact, I always find it kind of funny, and not just with Rob."
When Pattinson covered Vanity Fair, he spoke about having a relationship under a microscope.
"It's just very traumatic," Pattinson said.
"When this is over," he added of Twilight mania, "the media will lose interest [in the relationship]. There'll be nothing to say. It won't fit into a headline anymore. It won't fit into a template."

Children born with Eisenmenger syndrome are born with a hole between the two pumping chambers -- the left and right ventricles -- of the heart (ventricular septal defect). The hole allows blood that has already picked up oxygen from the lungs to flow back into the lungs, instead of going out to the rest of the body. The increased blood flow and high pressure damages the small blood vessels in the lungs.

Siamber Wen Icelandics
Horses for Sale
Our policy is to try to match riders to horses and we will not knowingly sell anyone an unsuitable horse. To that end we encourage would-be purchasers to spend time here trying horses before they buy. We can organize individual courses to cover riding as well as management of Icelandic horses so that new owners can be as well informed as possible before taking their new horse home.
Due to insurance problems we do not allow horses to go on loan prior to purchase however we aim to give new owners as much support as possible in settling their new horse into their home or in the future training of the horse. We offer a full training and backup service for horses and riders.
This page contains a selection of the horses that are currently available. All of the homebred horses have been correctly wormed and fed since birth and we can provide details of the worming regime for each horse, giving you confidence that the horse you buy should not die early due to incorrect or incomplete worming during the early years.
We back the horses at four and give them a basic training in stop, start and steer. This includes training the horses to respond correctly to a bit in their mouths. As with many other trainers we initially train the horses to respond to a headcollar or halter when they are first ridden. However we then progress to riding with a bit in their mouths. We do not believe that the horse's education as a riding horse is complete until their mouths have been trained to respond confidently to light pressure from a snaffle bit.
The horses are trained and developed using the principles of classical training and equine learning theory. This means that particular attention is paid to the development of their topline and carrying abilities. This takes time and we are committed to taking the time to ensure that each horse is not forced into false outline but helped to build up its musculature and balance in the correct way. It takes two years to produce a well-mannered and confident riding horse with a good basic training. After that, any specialist training may begin.
In the interest of both the horse and rider, we will only sell horses under 5 years to experienced owners who have had prior experience of bringing on young horses. If you are interested in younger horses please phone to discuss what might suit you

Middle-aged, professional men who vote Conservative are most likely to be the victims of road rage attacks, a study has found.
A survey of drivers found nearly half of men aged 40 to 59 had fallen victim to aggression on the roads, as they are targeted by yobbish drivers and cyclists.
Men aged 25 to 39 were found to be most likely to perpetrate road rage, blaming it on the poor and infuriating driving of others.
A study of nearly 2,000 British adults has now been completed for ITV documentary Road Rage Britain: Caught on Camera.
TV's Road Rage Britain: Caught on Camera features astonishing footage of agression on our roads
Defining road rage as "showing anger at another road-user: verbally, by gesture or by physical aggression", researchers have now used footage from cyclists and drivers to map how road users are affected.
They found that men aged 40-59, who vote Tory and are classified as ABC1 are most likely to be victims of road rage.
More than four in every ten road users claimed to have experienced road rage at the hands of others, with only a fifth admitting committing offences themselves.
Overall, 46 per cent of men reported being road rage victims compared to 39 per cent of women.
Documentary makers have now used "dramatic" footage from personal cycle and dashboard cameras, to attempt to understand the causes of conflict.
They found road rage was most often attributed to a lack of respect, poor driving from others and "being in a rush".
The programme, to be broadcast at 9pm tonight (Mon), also asked cyclists to swap places with a London taxi driver and a white van man in a bid to understand their frustration.
Cycle courier Nick Swinden, 37, from Archway, London, said: "I've been chased by cab drivers, minicabs, van drivers, the works…Fisticuffs have been thrown in the past, yes."
White van driver Gaz McPartland, 38, told the programme: "I can't be doing with cyclists. If I'm paying tax on the road then I want to be able to ride on the road. They don't pay tax so why should they ride three or four deep?"
The poll, carried out by YouGov, found half of participants who voted Conservative in the 2010 election claimed they were subject to road rage attacks, compared to 43 per cent of Labour voters and 39 per cent of Liberal Democrat voters.
The report found that 47 per cent of Britons from middle class and white collar backgrounds felt they had experienced road rage compared to 36 per cent of working class, blue collar Britons.
Although 43 per cent of Britons said they were subject to road rage from others only one in five admitted to being responsible for road rage themselves.
Those surveyed blamed different causes for road rage incidents varying across generations.
Nearly three quarters of road users aged over 60 blamed lack of respect for others, compared with just 34 per cent of 18-24 year-olds who thought no respect was a leading cause.
Six in ten 18-24 year-olds thought road rage was the result of poor driving or riding by other road users compared to 48 per cent of those aged 60 and over.
- Road Rage Britain: Caught on Camera will be broadcast at 9pm on ITV on June 9, 2014.

Davis, Kidd-Gilchrist Go One, Two In NBA Draft
NEWARK, N.J. -- Kentucky is off to a 1-2 start at the NBA draft. After the New Orleans Hornets selected Kentucky forward Anthony Davis with the No. 1 pick Thursday, Charlotte followed by taking fellow freshman Michael Kidd-Gilchrist.
Davis will begin his pro career in the same city where he ended it with a national title. College basketball's player of the year as a freshman was the Most Outstanding Player of the Final Four despite shooting just 1 for 10 from the field in the championship game, grabbing 16 rebounds and blocking six shots in the victory over Kansas.
Davis slipped on a blue and purple Hornets hat above a conservative gray suit that took no attention away from basketball's most famous eyebrow. Davis even attempted to capitalize on the attention his unibrow gets, trademarking "Fear The Brow" and "Raise The Brow" earlier this month.
On the floor, Davis has the agility of a guard -- and he was one only a few years ago.
The 6-foot-10 Davis averaged 14.2 points, 10.4 rebounds and 4.7 blocks, becoming a dominant defender after growing 7 inches from the start of his junior year of high school.
He led off what looked to be a busy night for the Wildcats, who boasted five potential first-round picks.
The pick of Kidd-Gilchrist was loudly cheered, a sharp contrast from the boos Commissioner David Stern received when coming out to announce the picks. The swingman played in high school at nearby St. Patrick's in Elizabeth, N.J., and fans chanted "MKG! MKG!" as he walked off the stage.
Wildcat fans had to wait a good deal longer to see a UK player drafted. The Houston Rockets selected Terrence Jones with the 18th pick of the draft.
Freshman point guard Marquis Teague was taken 29th by the Chicago Bulls.
Two other Wildcats had to wait until the second round to hear their names called. The Milwaukee Bucks selected Doron Lamb with the 42nd pick, and Darius Miller went to the Charlotte Hornets with the 46th overall selection.

I am an Estate Planning client of Leslie Daff. I am 77 years old and have read every NOLO book, attended all of the Estate Planning Seminars and counseled with many Attorneys and I can tell you for sure that my time spent with Leslie could have replaced it all. You will not find a more knowledgeable, efficient, helpful and cost effective Estate Planning Attorney than Leslie. I recommend you interview her last so you can immediately realize that you have found the best available.
Posted by anonymous
Attorney Leslie Rubright Daff responses me in 24 hours after I sent her the message. She is responsible attorney. Her price is reasonable. I am considering to hire her for my living trust. I would recommend this attorney to my family and friend.
Posted by Douglas
We used Leslie to prepare our trust documents as a recently married same sex couple.
She understood the fire drill, moved quickly, answered our many questions.
Our experience with other trust lawyers in Laguna Beach was very disappointing, took forever and left us wondering what we got.
Leslie got two trust packages done in a few weeks and we could not be more pleased.
Posted by anonymous
Attorney Daff provided excellent knowledge and advice during the development of a complex trust matter. Her legal knowledge is exceptional and her precise attention to detail was excellent. If you
require a savvy Estate Planning and Trust Attorney that has a very
humanistic approach.......... Leslie gets my highest recommendation.
Posted by Ryan
I originally found Leslie when she was named as one of the Best Attorneys in Orange County. My mom needed to have all her estate and healthcare documents updated. Through working with Leslie on that project, I learned first-hand how knowledgable and helpful she is. She was always there to answer my quick questions, and I didn't feel the "on the clock" pressure you get with many attorneys.
When it came time to do my own family's estate documents, Leslie was the obvious choice. Again, it was a great experience. She knew all the issues to consider for our life stage.
I'm married to attorney and when we left Leslie's office, my wife said, "She's a really talented attorney!" Coming from another attorney, you know Leslie is doing all the right things.
I would definitely recommend her and hire her again. I feel like I have all my bases covered now.
Posted by Howard
My wife and I were very pleased with the very comprehensive estate plan that Leslie Daff, JD created for us including living trust, pour-over will, medical directives and legal affairs portfolio. We had interviewed a number of estate planning attorneys and Ms. Daff was the most knowledgeable on the subject of estate planning.
Posted by Richard
My partners and I have worked with this wonderful attorney for many years. She has a fantastic mix of knowlegde and personality to create wonderful, easy to read, estate planning documents. Pleasure to be involved with every plan she produces. Great job Leslie!!!!
Posted by Lillian
I have been planning on doing my estate planning for years, but just never got around to it. My aunt and uncle used Leslie Daff and they said she was wonderful. She was great - she was fast and efficient and really helped me get a sense of what I needed to be aware of in terms of an estate plan. I had concerns about how to handle property and royalty issues in regards to my adult children. Leslie explained all of my options and answered my numerous questions and put together a plan that really works for me. I am very happy that I had my estate plan done. She has very reasonable flat fee pricing and I recommend Leslie's estate planning services to others.
Posted by Jim
My CPA referred me to Leslie to set up an LLC for my new business. I was impressed with her knowledge, efficiency, and responsiveness, and was pleased with both the fee and result. I highly recommend this attorney.
Posted by Mark
Our firm has worked with Leslie on several estate plans and she has done a great job.

This followed rejections from the Immigration Department and Refugee Review Tribunal.
But Mr Ruddock said he was persuaded to eventually grant a visa after representations from a bishop from the Melkite Church, Issam Darwish. This was after the election fund-raiser.
Bishop Darwish confirmed he had written to Mr Ruddock around October 2001. A close business associate of Mr Ruddock's in the Lebanese community, Karim Kisrwani, an organiser of the fund-raiser, told the Herald the bishop had "asked me to write a letter to the minister" about Mr Hbeiche's case.
Mr Ruddock told Parliament yesterday he received no further approach from Mr Cameron after his letter of 2001 or the fund-raiser. "I received community representations after that, including an approach by a bishop in NSW," he said.
"The issues that I considered relevant in this particular case were the claims that the young man had been the subject of a protection claim which had been rejected because it was not for a [refugee] convention reason."
Mr Hbeiche's protection claims arose, said Mr Ruddock, because the man "rescued a girl who had been sexually assaulted by two Syrian workers in Lebanon".
"He had been accused of causing civil unrest and conducting anti-Syrian activities. He claims that, following that incident, he was arrested, his house was damaged and his car was burnt by Syrian forces. He claims that he was held in captivity for 45 days without trial, interrogated and badly mistreated."
Questions have been raised about Mr Ruddock's protection visa decisions before. His granting of protection visas to Lebanese, and his links to the Lebanese community, have sparked controversy.
Visas have been granted to people associated with the South Lebanese Army, which has been linked to torture of prisoners.
Bishop Darwish said last night Mr Hbeiche was a former member of the South Lebanese Army.
In October 2001 it emerged that Mr Ruddock intervened with immigration officials' decisions to grant a visa to the Iraqi father of a NSW Liberal candidate.
Labor has called for more transparency in Mr Ruddock's use of his visa discretion, saying he had invoked it 1400 times since 1996 - a record number. Also yesterday at a Senate estimates hearing, Immigration Department officials revealed a number of its files had been referred to ASIO over concerns visas had been granted to people associated with Jemaah Islamiah.

In vivo performance of melimine as an antimicrobial coating for contact lenses in models of CLARE and CLPU
Cole, Nerida, Hume, Emma, Vijay, Ajay, Sankaridurg, Padmaja, Kumar, Naresh, & Willcox, Mark (2009) In vivo performance of melimine as an antimicrobial coating for contact lenses in models of CLARE and CLPU. Investigative Ophthalmology and Visual Science, 51(1), pp. 390-395.
View at publisher (open access)
- One strategy to minimize bacteria-associated adverse responses such as microbial keratitis, contact lens–induced acute red eye (CLARE), and contact lens induced peripheral ulcers (CLPUs) that occur with contact lens wear is the development of an antimicrobial or antiadhesive contact lens. Cationic peptides represent a novel approach for the development of antimicrobial lenses.
- A novel cationic peptide, melimine, was covalently incorporated into silicone hydrogel lenses. Confirmation tests to determine the presence of peptide and anti-microbial activity were performed. Cationic lenses were then tested for their ability to prevent CLPU in the Staphylococcus aureus rabbit model and CLARE in the Pseudomonas aeruginosa guinea pig model.
- In the rabbit model of CLPU, melimine-coated lenses resulted in significant reductions in ocular symptom scores and in the extent of corneal infiltration (P < 0.05). Evaluation of the performance of melimine lenses in the CLARE model showed significant improvement in all ocular response parameters measured, including the percentage of eyes with corneal infiltrates, compared with those observed in the eyes fitted with the control lens (P ≤ 0.05).
- Cationic coating of contact lenses with the peptide melimine may represent a novel method of prevention of bacterial growth on contact lenses and consequently result in reduction of the incidence and severity of adverse responses due to Gram-positive and -negative bacteria during lens wear.

Doing regular vigorous exercise is an important part of a long-term health strategy. Chiropractic care is another key component of a plan that includes good nutrition, sufficient rest, and enjoyable activities and interests with family and friends.
Regular chiropractic care helps make good health possible. Our bodies need to be in peak condition in order to derive the full benefits of the exercise we're doing and the good foods we're eating. Being in peak condition is associated, in large part, with a fully functioning nervous system and a spinal column that is biomechanically sound. By identifying and correcting mechanical blockages in your spine and the related areas of nerve interference, your chiropractor will help you to function at your peak. As a result, you will gain maximum benefit from the important steps you're taking to enjoy high levels of health and wellness.

The ability of a cyclodextrin-polyurethane polymer to remove ochratoxin A from aqueous solutions was examined by batch rebinding assays. The results from the aqueous binding studies were fit to two parameter models to gain insight into the interaction of ochratoxin A with the nanosponge material. The ochratoxin A sorption data fit well to the heterogeneous Freundlich isotherm model. The polymer was less effective at binding ochratoxin A in high pH buffer (9.5) under conditions where ochratoxin A exists predominantly in the dianionic state. Batch rebinding assays in red wine indicate the polymer is able to remove significant levels of ochratoxin A from spiked solutions between 1–10 μg·L−1. These results suggest cyclodextrin nanosponge materials are suitable to reduce levels of ochratoxin A from spiked aqueous solutions and red wine samples.

Surface analysis of the sorbent was performed on a Quantachrome Instruments ASiQ surface area analyzer. The sample (about 1 g) was outgassed at 100 °C for 24 h prior to analysis.

The β-cyclodextrin-polyurethane polymer was evaluated in batch rebinding assays for the ability to remove OTA from aqueous solutions and red wine samples.

Samples were shaken on a Lab-line Multi-wrist shaker at room temperature for 24 h. The vials were centrifuged and supernatant was filtered through 0.2 μm filters (PTFE). All experiments were performed in triplicate.

The experiments reported here were carried out with a 24 h incubation period.

The non-selective binding of valuable components of beverages by sorbents is an important consideration. The "generic binding sites" of the β-cyclodextrin-polyurethane are expected to be susceptible to binding and removal a broad range of substrates with OTA. It remains to be shown if nanosponge materials can be optimized using select components for more selective removal of certain toxins over other constituents from aqueous solutions. One significant advantage of the β-cyclodextrin-polyurethane polymer over the use of free cyclodextrins is the β-cyclodextrin-polyurethane polymer is insoluble in aqueous solutions, permitting rapid separation of the material and toxin from aqueous solutions. Furthermore, the polymer is synthesized as a monolithic block, allowing for the possible inclusion of other sorbent components, such as powder charcoals. In addition, the β-cyclodextrin-polyurethane particles can be ground to a desired size (38–75 µm in this study) or synthesized as films to support easy separation of the sorbent from solutions.
A nanosponge polymer composed of β-cyclodextrin-polyurethane was evaluated for the ability to remove levels of OTA from aqueous solutions and red wine. Analysis of the Langmuir isotherm of the OTA binding studies in water indicates the polymer has a maximum capacity of 0.22 mg OTA per gram of polymer. Results of the Freundlich isotherm suggest the polymer possesses a heterogeneous population of binding sites for OTA. The polymer was capable of reducing levels of OTA up to 10 μg·L−1 in spiked red wine samples to levels below recommended levels (2 μg L−1). This study suggests nanosponge materials can assist reducing levels of natural product contaminants, including OTA, in beverages.

During Tuesday's board meeting, Spring Valley village Mayor Demeza Delhomme told the audience that although the village's Department of Public Works ran out of its road salt, residents need not to worry about impending snowstorm because he has successfully negotiated with the town of Ramapo to let the village borrow some of its reserved salt.
"All we have to do is to bring our trucks, load it up and take care of business," Delhomme said.
Ramapo town Highway Superintendent Tony Sharan confirmed the deal Wednesday afternoon.
Though the amount would depend on the severity of the storm — and whether freezing rain falls — Sharan estimated Spring Valley could receive up to 30 tons.
"It's a public safety issue," Sharan said. "I'm going to give him what he needs."
Spring Valley DPW trucks will have to haul from the town's salt shed in Tallman.
Lending salt to a local village whose supplies are running low is nothing new. Sloatsburg, another village in Ramapo, borrowed 50 tons last month and recently repaid it in kind.
The town also makes salt available to Suffern and Airmont when they are in need.
In the past week, the town has doubled its salt supply to 2,000 tons, minimizing fears of a region-wide shortage. Back orders have begun to show up, and more salt is sitting on barges in the port waiting to be unloaded, Sharan said.

Product Review: Snugglepuss by Vibratex
Isn't it funny looking? Cin has one, too, and it just looked like so much fun. It's the Snugglepuss by Vibratex.
How's it made?
The Snugglepuss is hinged pink plastic encased in a pink elastomer sleeve. It's phthalates and latex free and hypoallergenic. It's about four inches long and an inch and a quarter at its widest point.
It's shaped sort of like a "U", with one side having a sort of butterfly on it with nubs between the wings, and the other being shaped sort of like a big toe (Yes, I realize how gross that visual is. I can't help it! That's what it looks like!) with nubs all over it as well.
The side with the butterfly comes off to reveal the batter compartment, which, if I'm to be honest, I was rather disappointed with. First, the sleeve is excruciatingly difficult to remove without tearing. I managed, but I have a tendency to treat my sex toys like the slightest wrong touch will break them. Second, once I got the sleeve off, the battery cap just sort of popped off in my hands. It's a teeny-tiny square of plastic with no real clasp to speak of.
Inside, you'll find three watch batteries separated with a thin piece of plastic to keep it from draining them or turning the toy on. Pull out that plastic, replace the cap and sleeve, and you're good to go.
The toy turns on and off by separating the two ends, so you need do nothing from here but insert it and adjust it so it's sitting correctly.
What's it for?
This toy is made for handsfree simultaneous g-spot and clitoral stimulation. Insert the thicker end. Situate the butterfly so that it's directly over your clitoris. Let your labia close around the butterfly wings, and enjoy the ride.
How is it?
|Rayne's Rating:
|fits perfectly
stays in place
|battery compartment
difficult to remove sleeve
I liked it better when I was walking than when I was sitting still. It seems that, like the G-Rock, you get better stimulation if you rock your hips.
The motor's sort of powerful. I'd say it falls somewhere between medium and high in strength. And it's not overly loud.
I was actually worried that it might not be a good toy for me because of my size. But I found that my size didn't hinder the toy at all. It hugs my pubic bone snugly and stays in place without any effort on my part. Even when I was moving.
The thicker end fits right up against my g-spot and stimulates nicely. My only real complaint is having to move a lot to make it do much of anything.
How do you care for it?
Very carefully? Snugglepuss isn't waterproof and the sleeve, obviously, isn't whole. And, like I mentioned before, the battery cap isn't the most reliable thing in the world. So I try to make sure my butterfly side is on as snugly as possible and hold it with the curved part between my fingers and the open end pointed down so as little water as possible will get inside.
I haven't had the problem Cin did with the toy opening on its own and draining the batteries. Maybe the hinge in hers was too loose? Maybe the hinge in mine is too tight? Who knows? But I'd still store it without the batteries in it (or with the little plastic strip in place) just in case.
Antibacterial soap and water or a bleach solution works great. Use water based lube. And if you're going to share it between partners or orifices, I'd suggest a condom.
Where'd ya get it?
The awesome folks at TabuToys.com sent me the Snugglepuss, free of charge, in exchange for an honest review of the toy. TabuToys.com offers discreet, private shopping to men and women of all sexual orientations. Aside from their selection of over 3000 hand-picked toys, they offer good reading material such as Sex Toys 101 and Buying Your First Vibrator.

After completing two GIS modules as part of my undergraduate geography degree I was lucky enough to succeed in gaining employment with the Forestry Commission as a GIS & Data Manager. This role enabled my to develop the skills I had already gained. After being in post for a few years I felt that I wanted to update my skills and knowledge to include a more technical understanding of GIS. This led me to the UNIGIS UK GI Technologies course. I felt that with the direction of GIS moving towards the cloud, web based and smart phone based options learning about the theories and fundamentals behind this would be beneficial. I really enjoyed the learning style of UNIGIS with the online materials, forums and study groups. From my study group of 6, I am still in contact with three so even through distance learning I have made friends. The breadth of knowledge that the staff and modules have was fantastic and the support from the tutors was brilliant. The GI Technologies option has opened many more doors for professional career and I hope to build on the skills I have learnt with UNIGIS.

Great wire sculpture I'm so pleased!
Three Dimensional Line Drawings
Here on Etsy I am better known as BlueDogRose, the "bunny painter" (though I do paint other things!). I love sculpting as much as I love painting.
I have been using wire to sculpt since childhood, but really began to explore it more in college. I have a BFA degree in sculpture, and my senior show included several large wire pieces.
I made my first bird in the early 1990's. I love the idea of starting with a line then using that line to draw in three dimensions until there is a free standing sculpture. The finished sculptures have a strength and presence, while drawing you in from every angle (pun intended).
I have made all sorts of creatures; horses, dogs, elephants, deer...the list goes on, but birds remain my favorite. I also like to make kinetic pieces, mobiles and sculpture that says something (like the WORD birds).
Thanks for visiting!

Dear visitors,
Welcome to the website of the State Material Reserves of Slovak Republic, through which we inform you about its activities as the central body of state administration for the creation of state material reserves and crisis management. For these purposes, it has at disposal material reserves, mobilization reserves and alert stocks. What are they and in what amount, is determined by the Government of the Slovak Republic. We take into consideration interests and priorities of state for energy and food security, requirements of individual sectors in terms of economic mobilization for needs of national economy, population of the country, armed forces and security forces.
Though the likelihood of a military crisis was minimized after the inclusion of the Slovak Republic into NATO and EU structures, emergency situations of different nature are still actual. Oil and gas crisis, natural disasters, terrorist attacks, pandemics and so on.
Administration of State Material Reserves has to be prepared for these situations at all points to avoid unnecessary loss of life, loss of health and property of citizens.
On our website we offer you everything about ASMR SR, we regularly inform you about invitation to tender and procurement procedures, we give an overview of the current activity report of the Administration of reserves and occasion to ask questions about its competence.

120 acres in Appanoose County, Iowa
The Appanoose Antler Access farm earned its name from the tremendous access it provides to hundreds of acres of extremely remote public land with the closest public access point nearly two miles away. With most of the shoreline area around the 11,000 acre Lake Rathbun being public hunting, this area provides a very low pressure hunting opportunity for a variety of species. The north end of this tract is totally concealed from the road frontage. The open areas are currently in CRP and light pasture use. The current owner does not hunt and has not allowed hunting on this tract for several years. This would be a great tract for someone who desires to design their own hunting experience with native grasses and food plots. There is a great building site near the road with all utilities where you could build a weekend getaway to use year round. The Honey Creek Resort on the other side of the lake provides a golf and lodging opportunity unlike anything in the area. If you are looking for a great hunting tract with some income and year round entertainment, give me a call today for your private showing at 515-564-9609.

WOW! This looks very pretty! I tried marbling before but it didn't look anywhere near this nice!ReplyDelete
- nihridaAugust 26, 2009 at 12:10 PM
Thanks! You just need to try again. It's all about trying. :)ReplyDelete
It's so gorgeous. I love those colors and I love love love spiders.ReplyDelete
There should be a Konad plate with only spiders.
- nihridaAugust 26, 2009 at 1:35 PM

OMG! This is so cool! Can you do a tutorial on this? Please!!ReplyDelete

OMG!! This turned out so awesome! I thought the swirls were hand painted at first because I don't think I have ever seen such a wonderful job of the swirl technique. Perfection!!ReplyDelete
Looks so great ;DReplyDelete
I've already posted a marble tutorial. This one is the same, I'm just using different colors.ReplyDelete

Thank you!ReplyDelete
I love your marble nails. They're the best I've ever seen. I've always been fascinated with this technique. I went to a state fair when I was younger and they were making marbled mugs. They used the enamel coated mugs. They came out beautiful. I always wanted a red and white one. Now that I'm older I wonder how anyone drank any hot liquid out of those mugs. They probably got really hot including the handles.ReplyDelete

Welcome to yet another edition of SWRLU's famous pregame breakdowns. Tonight your orange march into the Joyce Center in South Bend for a meeting with the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame in a Big Monday showdown on ESPN. Here are your Starting Lineups along with a position by position breakdown of the Fighting Irish.
Syracuse(17-1, 4-1 Big East)
PG: (Fr.) Brandon Triche
SG:(Sr.) Andy Rautins
SF:(Jr.) Wesley Johnson
PF:(Jr.) Rick Jackson
C:(Sr.) Arinze Onuaku
Last time out: The orange overcame horrible officiating to avoid surrendering a double digit lead in morgantown to win 72-71 over the West Virginia Mountaineers in a game i unfortunately didnt see. (i was too busy running at manley field house and taking pictures of the sweet, sweet 2003 national championship trophy.) With contender west virginia out of the way, will the orange be able to complete the sweep on this 3 game road trip?
Notre Dame(14-4, 3-2 Big East)
PG:Tory Jackson-Solid point guard who creates opportunities for his teammates off the dribble. Not your prototypical scoring guard but is a valuable asset, particularly when getting the rock to a certain top scorer on this notre dame squad who will get mentioned later.
SG:Ben Hansbrough-Yet another Hansbrough for us to harass. Tyler's brother is a solid transfer guard with a great affinity for shooting the long ball. while not on the level of andy rautins, the orange need to know where he is at all times and get a hand in his face.
SF:Tim Abromaitis-Has physical attributes very similar to wes johnson. Can step back and drain the 3, play the post, and do essentially anything the team needs.
PF:Tyrone Nash-Shouldnt really be a problem for rick jackson tonight. still gets very good high percentage shots.
C:Luke Harangody-a fat pig who scores a lot. need i say more?
Syracuse takes ND to the woodshed and sweeps the road trip
Syracuse 87, ND 79

Comment: Re: SHK 11.0775 Re: Milton
Sean Lawrence and Clifford Stetner find early sources for the idea that
language "doesn't merely reflect or denote the world but also
constitutes it", to confute my claim that it's a modern idea.
SL> Personally, I think that it's rather implicit in Adam's naming
SL> the animals in Paradise Lost, or the creation of the world by
SL> the word of God, for that matter.
CS>Milton's source here is an even older book.
Isn't the point of the genesis stories that these speech acts are
special because their originate everything? Surely it's modern to think
that language can now do these things.

Western Sydney Wanderers and Melbourne Victory will not contest sanctions handed down by Football Federation Australia after both A-League clubs were charged with bringing the game into disrepute due to fan violence.
The decision by both clubs to accept the sanctions means they face the loss of three competition points if another incident of ''significant magnitude'' occurs this season.
The FFA decision stemmed from ugly street clashes between Victory and Wanderers fans in Melbourne on December 28 prior to the side's match at AAMI Park, in which eight people were reportedly hospitalised and two arrested.
FFA boss David Gallop said the game's governing body was working with both clubs to ensure such scenes were not repeated.
''We respect both clubs for their stance on the difficult issue of identifying the small number of troublemakers who tarnish the overwhelming majority of true football fans,'' Gallop said in a statement.
''FFA and the clubs' response is designed to galvanise the football community against the scourge of antisocial behaviour.''
Wanderers chairman Lyall Gorman said his club had ''always maintained a policy of zero tolerance in relation to antisocial behaviour''.
Victory chief executive Ian Robson said his club was also supportive of the FFA's approach.
The two sides meet at the same venue again on Tuesday and the FFA said it had reviewed security and ticketing arrangements for the fixture in consultation with police.

I read information on the capital one credit card today, though I have been getting this junk mail at least once maybe twice a week for months. So I found their number and tried to call to talk to them a few times but no avail. The things I wanted to discuss was that at first they asked me for my social security #, and at the end they informed me I was to sign up or something along this line "in case a family member has oppted you out". Now some of my family has this info due to having moms things when she died and may have passed it on which I can do nothing about this! Well thank you for listening.
I believe that who ever stolen my identity open accounts because it come to me bill within only one month Qwest phone bill $860.00 dollar. And all my bills for phones after I put service direct after one month, I received high bills started from $200.00 and up. I don't know where and how they used my identity, but I am right now no home, no Income, no job.
my wife was looking for part time jobs on the internet and now we are getting back to school sales calls. We are on the do not call list. They claim that it does not matter since she was look for work.

Google Nexus 4 Smartphone Review, Gain for T-Mobile Android Carriers
Nexus 4 does have LTE chip but could not be used due to any network support.
Nexus 4 is the new smartphone from Google. With innovative hardware, the latest version of Android, and the best Google apps. Nexus 4 puts the world's information at your fingertips. However, one thing that Nexus 4 lacks is that, the support for LTE connectivity.
It is true that there may be a seven-band LTE radio inside the Android, as the Google Nexus 4 teardown revealed, but it cannot really work with such a network because the device does not have the necessary modem installed.
However, here is a solution according to a report revealed. It seems that a simple software update can allow the Nexus 4 smartphone to run on LTE Band 4. All users have to do is dial *#*#4636#*#*. After that, choosing to connect to AWS networks should allow the Nexus 4 to run on LTE networks on Band 4.
After setting the network mode to automatic, the smartphone reconnects with LTE on and seemingly running.
This is great news for T-Mobile users as LTE Advanced is a mobile communication standard.
Nexus 4 comes with Google Play, your one-stop-shop for digital entertainment with over 675,000 apps and games, music, movies and more. Keep your favorite digital entertainment in your pocket, and always at your fingertips.

Fred Couples called Tiger Woods the "best player in the world forever. "
Woods may be forever but is he for now?
PRESIDENTS CUP: Couples names Woods to team
Couples, the captain of the U.S. Presidents Cup team, said a week ago he wanted to see Woods play a few more events before making a decision about putting him on the team.
But yesterday he took all the drama out of it and used a captain's pick on the 14-time major winner.
"I've told him that he's going to be on the team," Couples said. "There is no reason for me to wait till Sept. 26 to pick Tiger. He's the best player in the world forever."
The event is Nov. 14-20 in Australia. Couples had at least a month before making a choice. But he decided to rely on the past and hopes the present becomes a better future.
Injuries have slowed Woods down and have prevented him from playing a lot of golf this year. And when he's played he has not played well. He didn't come close to making the cut in the PGA Championship earlier this month and is 28th on the Presidents Cup list.
"Everyone else can have their opinion, but as far as I know Jay Haas and myself are the captains and we want him on this team," said Couples.
It is hard to criticize a selection of the world's greatest golfer in the past two decades. But Couples also leap-frogged him over 16 other players on the list (including Keegan Bradley) without waiting to see if Woods returned to form.
Did he pull the lever too quickly?
While we wait on tee times, here is some good work by some good people that we might have missed while sleeping or making a head count to see if Miami has enough players to field a team.

Brandon forward Roderick Davis has orally committed to Wright State, Davis said Monday evening.
Davis, a 6-foot-8 senior, earned honorable mention all-Hillsborough County honors last winter. He averaged 13.2 points, 8.9 rebounds and 2.4 blocks per game for Brandon, which finished 18-9.
He was also recruited by FAU, James Madison, Colgate and others.
Davis made his decision after visiting Wright State over the weekend.
"I was kind of getting anxious for recruiting to be over with," Davis said.
Oral commitments are non-binding until recruits sign national letters of intent during their senior years. Davis said he has not decided whether he will sign in November during the early period, or if he will take any other official visits.
Wright State is an NCAA Division I college in Dayton, Ohio and a member of the Horizon League. The Raiders finished 23-13 last year.
