Understanding the molecular mechanism of instability of the avirulence gene AVR-Pita1 in field isolates of Maganporthe oryzae [abstract]. 5th International Rice Blast Conference, August 12-14, 2010, Little Rock, Arkansas. Poster Abstract I-CP-12. Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: The avirulence gene AVR-Pita1 in Magnaporthe oryzae triggers a resistance response in rice plants that contain the resistance gene Pi-ta. Understanding the evolution of the AVR-Pita1 gene in field isolates should benefit the deployment of Pi-ta for the control of rice blast disease. A total of 187 field isolates of M. oryzae collected from U.S., China, Colombia, Egypt, India, and the Philippines over a 40 year period were used for this analysis. We first determined the pathogenicity of isolates on rice cultivars with and without Pi-ta. It was found that 151 isolates were avirulent toward Pi-ta containing rice cultivars while 36 were virulent. Using AVR-Pita1 specific primers, AVR-Pita1 was amplified by PCR, and the resulting PCR products were sequenced from the DNA of all 151 avirulent isolates as well as 4 virulent isolates collected from China. Alignment of sequence assemblies revealed 38 highly similar AVR-Pita1 haplotypes. It was found that most DNA sequence variation occurs in the exon regions, and the majority of this variation resulted in amino acid substitutions. A total of 27 highly variable haplotypes excluding AVR-Pita1 was predicted based on the 38 different DNA sequence assemblies. For the 4 virulent isolates from which the AVR-Pita1 allele was amplified, two additional nucleotides were found in the first exon of AVR-Pita1 of these virulent isolates. The insertion of these two nucleotides resulted in a frame-shift that produced a predicted truncated AVR-Pita1 metalloprotease; in the 32 virulent isolates where AVR-Pita1 was undetectable by PCR, the 5' portion of the AVR-Pita1 allele was predicted to be deleted from the genomes of 29 isolates while the entire AVR-Pita1 was predicted to be deleted in the remaining 3 virulent isolates using Southern blot analysis. These findings suggest that frame-shift, partial and complete deletions of AVR-Pita1 are three mechanisms that the fungus uses to overcome Pi-ta mediated resistance. To determine the function of AVR-Pita1, field isolates from Arkansas were transformed with one to many copies of AVR-Pita1 from isolate O-137 by homologous based recombination. The presence of AVR-Pita1 in virulent isolates was confirmed by PCR using AVR-Pita1 specific primers and the results were verified by DNA sequencing and Southern blot analysis using the AVR-Pita1 coding region as the probe. Results of pathogenicity assays demonstrated that isolates transformed with AVR-Pita1 were re-stored to avirulence on Pi-ta-containing rice cultivars. In summary, we demonstrated the molecular diversity and instability of AVR-Pita1 among field isolates of M. oryzae. The impact of these findings on the understanding of the molecular mechanisms of disease resistance in rice will be discussed. References: 1. Dai. Y. 2010.

We're used to seeing designers try to fit their makeup into certain categories (feminine, grungy, classic), but Armani Privé chose to blend two of our favorites. At the brand's couture show, models were sent down the runway sporting grungy, smoky eyes that were accented with glitter, placing this look somewhere between rock-and-roll and high-end chic. Overdrawn brows framed the style perfectly. The rest of the look was fairly simple: subtly glossy lips and matted-down hair, which was hidden under a head scarf, proving that even your worst hair days can have a glamorous turn.

Hi folks!
I'm confused: I have the following three test pages:
with just links to the two latter pages on the index page, and the
htsearch at
A copy of the nm2.conf is at
Now, if you try searching with a word like "iskusana", you'll see that
the resulting $(DESCRIPTION) is empty, and the $(DESCRIPTIONS) has an
empty slot, and (valid?) punctuation missing.
It's obvious that there absolutely are no more than a single link
pointing to the files, so it seems that the $(DESCRIPTION) is not
showing the first link text as it should.
The question is: WHY?!? Help is appreciated! Htdig is 3.1.0 on Solaris

Immune System Linked to Neurological Disease
Cells that help protect the nervous system may also contribute to the development of neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer's disease, according to researchers at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine.
While tau protein is a natural part of a neuron's structure, abnormal accumulations can produce threadlike deposits that damage cells, leading to tauopathies—a family of neurological disorders characterized by abnormal buildup of tau protein, including Alzheimer's and other kinds of dementia.
Previous research has suggested a link between inflammation in the nervous system and tauopathies. Specifically, immune cells called microglia have been implicated in the development of multiple neurodegenerative disorders.
To explore this connection, a research team led by Bruce T. Lamb, PhD, professor with both the School of Medicine and the Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine of Case Western Reserve and neuroscientist at Cleveland Clinic, studied a specific signaling pathway through which neurons and microglia communicate. The team found that inflammation promoted the accumulation of tau protein in several different models, including biologic models and tests of lab-grown cells.
A key finding, according to Lamb, was that introducing a deficiency of a specific microglial receptor altered the activation of the immune cell, as well as enhanced accumulation of tau protein and behavioral abnormalities in the biologic models.
In addition to documenting the effects of a specific receptor on the accumulation of tau protein, the researchers also gained new insight into signaling molecules. Taken together, the findings reveal a direct link between the activation of microglia and abnormal aggregation of tau in neurons and suggest potential for new therapies.

The 'Who will you leave behind?' campaign was originally produced by the Make Smoking History campaign, an initiative of the Cancer Council WA.
The campaign features Perth brothers, Luke (31) and Ben (29) Eliot, whose father Neil passed away in 2007 from lung cancer caused by his smoking. Neil Eliot was just 52 years old when he died and missed seeing his first grand child James, Luke's son, by only one month. He was a pack-a-day smoker from his late teens until his late 30s when he quit for eight years, only to take up the habit again due to the pressures of his work.
In the campaign advertising, the brothers talk honestly and openly about their father's battle with cancer and how it has affected them and their families. Following through on Neil's dying wish that this story be shared, Luke and Ben wanted to urge all smokers to quit and do it now, so that others would not have to go through the pain their family has experienced.
The campaign will air on metropolitan and regional television in Victoria until October 17.

I wanna build a CHEAP mono tube amp, need advice....
Well, me being the broke, and incredibly cheap, student that I am......here's what I've been thinking of....
I want a mono PP tube amp for the horn section(active crossover system) of my "mono rig" which can be referenced in other threads of mine linked here
Right now the horn is crossed over at around 1200hz(would like to do 800hz, but those modules for the Peavey xover seem to be getting kinda pricey on fleabay...might have to look in modding the cans(I have more than a few) if possible, or even just ditching the Peavey and building my own tube crossover.....but thats ANOTHER thread). The horn is currently being amplified by half of a Crown D-150(yeah I can hear the screeching and gasps from here....thats what Im here for...the D-150 will be for subwoofer duties *only*, after I build the "horn amp" obviously).
Now comes the fun part what I have been thinking.....heres what I have in my "Parts bin" that might work
I have a knight KN530 (mono EL34PP, good OP trans.....I think....probably should test that), but no power transformer. Finding a *cheap* direct replacement PT has yielded no results. From the spec sheet I need around a 350 swing.....which are relatively available on ebay......but there is another cheaper option that I have been considering......
I also have a Thomas Model A-1 tone control unit, that is an EL84 based mono unit also PP I think(dont have a schematic .yet). Pictured here
And here
I havent taken any readings on the power trans for specs, but would assume that it has a typical EL84 swing of around 250v to 300v. The unit DOESNT have filament power though, so I suppose that I would have to use a stand alone low power trans to supplement. I have a old "tube tv tuner" that might have one to "donate" to the cause.....
I was thinking that I could pull the power trans from the Thomas and use the output trans from the Knight and put together an EL34 mono PP amp(I have more than a few EL34s from my Dynaco ST-70 days) with a decent amount of power for a horn, even if not using the EL34s to their "full potential". Im not going for ear bleeding noise, just good sound quality ..with an occasional cranked up song or rif ..
I still havent decided on a driver stage, though I do have a ton of 12au7 tubes.
I was also thinking of using the knight schematic as a starting point, as designing my own amp is still a bit out of my league. I realize that with a different PT, many of the component values will be different, but I feel fairly confident that I can compensate.
So .what should I do stick with my above ideal plan and use the EL34s(much preferred), or step down to the EL84s, and basically just use the guts of the Thomas.
Should I copy the knight topography, or is their a better option?
Additionally, I am going to custom build my own chassis(actually two one for the power, one for the output) so that it will fit behind(around...two triangle bases) the horn itself, as I am running out of room on my platform. I have a basic layout drawn up and all the components mentioned should fit just fine.
Any and all ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated ..
Thanks for your time ..

took some basic measurements
So after feeling a little lazy, I got motivated and tore into the A-1. Clipped all the stuff going to the power trans(including cap), set the multimeter to AC, hooked up power and got this
(2)Blue wires - 56vac
(2)Green wires - 7.68vac
(2)Red wires - 633vac....(woohoo)
(1)Green/yellow wire that was attached to chassis......didnt measure that at all.......not sure exactly what it does(center tap of some sort maybe???).
So yeah....no amperage readings, but I was apparently wrong about not having any filament power. Its been a few years since I got the unit.....I must of been thinking of another "project"......
anyway here is a pic of the carnage......
Obviously I was testing the cloth cover wires......
so what is the best way to get amperage specs on a tranformer such as this?
Thanks again.....

Use the Knight O/P trafo in a Mullard style circuit. A 6AB4 voltage amplifier and a 6J6 LTP splitter/driver will yield plenty of gain. An AnTek AN-4T360 power trafo will provide all you need. SS rectify the B+. Voltage multiply 1 of the paired 5 A./6.3 VAC windings to obtain the negative bias rail. The 2nd filament winding has current to spare for the 4 signal tubes.
If the Knight O/P trafo lacks UL taps, Maida Regulate g2 B+.

I really do appreciate the help and all the info, but I really wasnt kidding when I said I was cheap(I ain't broke.....but I'm badly bent....lol).
Ive got a long sad story(bad back....no work).....not to mention a wedding(that we're paying for ourselves) coming up, so seriously; I'm trying to do this project with parts on hand, or MAYBE a $20(shipped) ebay transformer.
Granted, the transformer you suggested is only $50, by the time you add shipping.....its just not in the budget.
Thanks again though....I'll use what info of yours I can.....

Insufficient coin of the realm bedevils us throughout life. Time for "Plan B".
You have mail! Build a 1 channel "El Cheapo" variant on the Thomas chassis. Contact Jim McShane, to obtain the EL84/6BQ5 cathode bias network values. Get the additional power "iron" from Aliied Electronics. $12.41 buys the B- trafo and $7.74 buys a Triad C-24X filter choke. SS rectify the B+, as you need the Volts and UF4007s cost about 15 cents each.

thanks again for the schematics eli.....i definitely think I'll give that one a spin.....
though I still may try to make my original plan work too......I just ornery like that.......

Yeah......I think im pretty much sold on El Cheapo.....
I found the "bargain basement" thread on another forum....got to page six, then decided to skip to the end to make sure it was still alive.....I WILL read the whole thing though.......pretty fascinating, and very encouraging too.....great stuff.
Whats the best way of "getting a hold of" Mr. McShane?
Is the ElCheapo "bridgable"? It would be nice to be able to make a "real one", or at least have the extra power...if just for the "head room".
When you suggest that I use the Thomas chassis, do you mean use the output trans as well, or do I need the specific one that the amp was designed for. FWIW, I am actually going to custom build a chassis for the amp anyway. But I do plan on reusing the sockets and anything else I can.....which brings me to the next question....
Are there still "kits" available? If so from whom?
Thanks again.......

Jim McShane's web site is here. AFAIK, Jim still has small parts kits for "El Cheapo".
For a mono amp, recycle the power and O/P trafos on the Thomas chassis. If the Thomas O/P trafo has UL taps, use 'em and get an honest 12 W. "El Cheapo" works well with mediocre O/P "iron", but better stuff, like DynaClone Z565s, is taken advantage of.
Bridging tubed power amps can be problematic. You have to connect 16 Ohm speakers to the 8 Ohm taps and 8 Ohm speakers to the 4 Ohm taps. Unless the O/P trafos are most unusual, 4 Ohm speakers are out, when bridged mode is employed.

I was thinking more of "bridging" before the output trans, kinda like "stacking" the tubes(not sure if that is the correct way to describe it. or if it is even possible with the elcheapo design). The output trans that is on the thomas is pretty small, so I was considering using the output trans from the knight, as it was used with a pp el34 setup, which from what I understand is very similar to the dynaclones(or at least the original dynacos.
I use to have two st-70s that were each run in mono.......boy I miss them....lol. They were running a pair of basically stock Infinity Quantum 5s which surely ran lower than 4 ohms at times....the dynacos never seemed to mind too much......
Thanks again for your time....

Alcantara reacts after his last win in January. (AP)
The 23-year-old Alcantara (5-7-2, 1 KO), has one of the most deceiving records in boxing, having faced undefeated fighters in nine out of his last 10 bouts. Some of those names include hot prospects Jonathan Arellano, Jesse Magdaleno, Bruno Escalante, and Efrain Esquivias, all of whom were taken the distance.
Most recently, Alcantara opened 2012 by knocking out Esteban Nichol in Las Vegas in a historic fight was broadcast on ESPN 3-D. Unfortunately, he was unable to build on that momentum in March, dropping a decision to unbeaten Luis Rosa in New York City.
Sarnoi (10-2, 5 KOs), from Monterey Park, Calif., was featured on Ring Magazine's website by Ryan Songalia before his last outing in January, a unanimous decision victory over Jose Angel Cota.
Lugo (right) hopes to get back on track. (Thompson Boxing)
Like Alcantara, Lugo (12-17-1, 5 KOs) has taken on a host of fighters with unblemished records at the time of their meeting. Among the thorns on this gauntlet include future world champions Adrien Broner and Danny Garcia, as well as prospect-turned-contender Mike Dallas Jr.
Meanwhile, White (17-4, 9 KOs), who hails from Chicago via Gary, Ind., has not fought in three years but has shared a ring with current middleweight beltholder Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. and former lightweight titlist Paul Spadafora, both losses.

Q: Sponge-y front brakes after replacing front brake pads and calipers. on 1999 Nissan Altima
I replaced the front brake pads and the two front calipers on my '99 Nissan Altima (manual transmission). After bleeding the front lines, and everything seeming to go like it should, I turned the car on and the brake pedal went all the way to the floor. After pumping several times, I was able to get some resistance, but nothing that felt the way it should. We then bled the lines again, this time on all four, and nothing changed. Bled the front again, nothing happened, and I had a mechanic look at it and bleed all four lines again, still with no result. I was able to drive it around, and I can get it to brake and stop, but it certainly doesn't brake as well as it should. I have heard that it could be the master cylindar, or it could be the brake assist assembly behind the cylindar. I want to save money on this as much as I can, so I'm wondering what the best way to get this diagnosed and fixed would be. Can the electronic tests that the guys at Auto Zone detect this? Is there any visible symptom I should see when I check under the hood? And most importantly, is my car safe to drive?
| |
With brakes not working 100% no one should ever tell you that it is safe to drive. You could have air in the system. Does vehicle have ABS brakes? I have seen when both front calipers changed at the same time left and right get mixed up and the bleeder is then on the bottom and will never properly bleed. Also I have seen when old calipers are taken off the pistons compressed without opening the bleeder and the reverse flow of old dirty brake fluid damage ABS or master cylinders. Please call Roy 757-456-0722 if you would like a FREE loaner car/van while we diagnose and repair yours.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 17/8/2012 (1799 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
NEW ORLEANS -- A Tulane spokesman says starting linebacker Trent Mackey has been suspended indefinitely from the team.
While university spokesman Mike Strecker says he cannot say why Mackey was suspended because of privacy policies, the Times-Picayune is reporting that Mackey was arrested Friday along with another suspect in connection with a an armed robbery on July 12.
A police report initially listed Mackey as a victim, but the newspaper says that the other suspect, 19-year-old Robert Murray, has implicated Mackey in the crime.
Mackey, from Port Sulphur, transferred to Tulane from Duke in 2009. He was selected the preseason Conference USA defensive player of the year for the upcoming season.
Last season, Mackey led Tulane with 145 tackles and 14 tackles for losses, including 4 1/2 sacks.

The possibility was broached back in May, but now it's official:
The Yankees said Notre Dame and Army would play the first football game at the new stadium next year, reigniting one of college football's great rivalries. The game, which is scheduled for Nov. 20, 2010, will most likely be the first of several football games a year at the stadium.
The teams played 22 times at the original Yankee Stadium, including several games during the 1940s that helped decide the national champion. When they played in 1928, Notre Dame Coach Knute Rockne urged his team to "win one for the Gipper." Those games regularly drew more than 70,000 fans.
Only difference, I suppose, is that back then Army was good. Notre Dame too, actually, and neither of those things are the case anymore. At least Notre Dame still draws, though, so this should be a success. In any event, my offer of a good football team to play there still stands.

Porn Star Brigette Monet is a raven-haired beauty who was one of the most popular hardcore stars of the late 70's and early 80's. One glance at the stunning Porn Star Ms. Brigette Monet will instantly tell you why. Plain and simple, Bridgette was one of the best looking women in the business at that time. She was tall and thin, with lust-inducing legs and full, natural breasts. Brigette Monet's ripe mouth and devastating brown eyes were a smoldering testament to her absolute physical allure. As far as Brigette Monet's actual acting skills -- well, let's just say that she was better than Amber Lynn and leave it at that. When the cameras rolled, she never really started to truly burn until the action started heating up. And then it became Nuclear! Brigette Monet began her hardcore career as a nude model, then broke into films with a series of shorts for 'Swedish Erotica' in 1980 and 1981. Her big break came with her starring role in the classic 1982 feature 'I Like To Watch,' which exposed her lush sensuality to a wide and appreciative audience. Instantly, Brigette Monet was catapulted to top porn stardom. Her turn as the luscious young TV psychologist in 'Talk Dirty To Me 2' cemented her reputation and led to more starring roles and box covers. Brigette Monet usually worked with real-life boyfriend David Cannon, and some of her hottest sexual escapades occur whenever the two were matched up. Without a doubt, Brigette Monet was one of the loveliest, classiest ladies of her or any era. She worked in the porn biz on an on-again, off-again basis throughout the 80's, finally retiring after 1989's 'Shame On Shanna.'

Over the next 15 days, we will feature Southern Arizona's top football players. Our list continues today with Dante Anderson, who figures to be a workhorse for Amphitheater and first-year coach Jorge Mendivil.
Dante Anderson
The rundown: Dante Anderson, RB/OLB, 5-9, 206, Amphitheater, senior
Who he is: A well-balanced running back, capable of following up an elusive juke with a thundering hit, who burst onto the scene over the final half of his junior season last fall. Through his first 16 games on varsity, Anderson compiled a modest 788 rushing yards (1,034 total), showing flashes of potential as a secondary option in the Panthers offense.
With Anderson finally at full strength after an early season leg injury and Amphi fighting for a playoff spot, the junior took his game to another level over the final four games. His mix of unbelievable feet, great vision and physicality, as Mendivil describes his running style, helped the dual-threat back average nearly 222 yards of total offense per game over the stretch.
Now, Anderson will be the featured athlete of Amphi's new Wing-T offense, and the soft-handed athlete is embracing the responsibility. "I've been ready since the first time I stepped out onto the field," he said.
Proof he's good: His nose for the end zone. Even more impressive than the yardage, Anderson scored 11 touchdowns over the final four games last year, including five in a season-finale victory against Santa Rita. He said he wanted to send the seniors off on the right note, but now has to continue the momentum into 2014. Of course, the modest Anderson set his base expectations low, hoping to achieve 1,000 rushing yards and 15 touchdowns. Mendivil's joking response when Anderson told him the goals: By midseason? "I think he's going to be one of the top players in Tucson, definitely, and one of the guys that's really going to pop out when you look at him on film," the first-year coach said. In addition to learning the intricacies of a new position as an outside linebacker, Anderson has concentrated on improving his burst and put on 10 pounds of muscle. His plan after high school is to study marketing, but he wants his collegiate life to include football as well. He has talked with Brown as well as several other schools.
He said it: "I don't know a guy on the team that doesn't like him, or anybody that I've talked to that doesn't like him. He's an outgoing personality, one of those Type-A guys that has that infectious personality. You look at him and you smile because he has that type of character. It's exciting when a player not only has that athletic ability but has that personality to go with it." — Mendivil

"I have worked with Juergen for years and love him as an artist," Jacobs said. "He just didn't want to shoot her." Which is why David Sims stepped in to shoot Miley Cyrus for Marc Jacobs' new Spring/Summer campaign. I have to say, whilst I will always Juergen Teller's work for Marc Jacobs a pleasure, what David Sims has done here with this pint-sized lizard tongued pop behemoth is all kinds of great.
I read a piece on The Guardian today which I found quite funny. It was about how the model beside Miley Cyrus looks dead and that's probably not the best message to send out to girls across the world. Like, how mortifying for the model if looking dead wasn't her intention in this campaign. Right? I frankly only saw and continue to see this image for what it is - bloody brilliant.
David also shot Miley's cock-a-doodle cover for Love magazine's new issue.

On a bedroom floor, the bodies of Syrian children lie like discarded dolls. The eyes of some are still open and, hauntingly, their expressions are frozen in fright.
No older than eight, a blood-soaked girl wearing a headscarf and pink diamante belt, is face to face with a younger boy.
Around them, a dozen others, some with their arms outstretched, lie shoulder to shoulder.
Men are said to have been killed on the streets, while women and children were shot and stabbed in their homes.
The images, almost impossible to bear, came from film taken by an amateur and posted online.
In the background the voice of an adult can be heard crying: 'Oh God, oh God, oh God.'

Four Arizona Breweries Medal at the Great American Beer Festival
This past weekend -- as brewers and beer lovers got sauced during their yearly visit to Denver and the beer Mecca that is the Great American Beer Festival -- four Arizona breweries took home medals.
For those who don't know, the Great American Beer Festival is one of the largest celebrations of suds in America (it actually holds a Guinness World Record for the prodigious number of beers on tap). Put on by the Brewers Association every year since 1982, the festival is the American brewing industry's top public tasting opportunity and competition. During four days of tasting sessions and events, attendees get to tour America's brewing landscape, tasting (if they can) more than 2,200 different beers from more than 450 of the nation's finest breweries, one ounce at a time.
The main draw for breweries, aside from allowing the public to sample their wares, is the beer competition. Breweries enter their beers to be judged by a panel of professional judges -- invited industry pros from around the world -- who blind-taste beers in specified style categories and award medals for the best three. The judges sometimes make dubious decisions (see 2010's gold medal awards to Blue Moon Summer Honey Wheat and Michelob AmberBock), but they're usually trustworthy.
These are the Arizona beers that medaled during this year's competition:
- BJ's Restaurant and Brewery - Pumpkin Ale
- Silver, Pumpkin Beer
- Barley Brothers Brewery & Grill - Chocolate Beer
- Gold, Chocolate Beer
- Four Peaks Brewing Co. - Hop Knot
- Bronze, American-style Strong Pale Ale
- SanTan Brewing Co. - Mr. Pineapple Wheat
- Silver, Fruit wheat beer
Though we're surprised by the snubbing of some greats (Lumberyard, which won two medals last year, was a no-show on this year's winners list), Arizona made a strong showing. Congratulations to all the breweries that won.

Turns out Samsung's 5.3-inch Galaxy Note is not alone – the giant phone/tiny tablet will be joined here in the UK by the LG Optimus Vu, a five-inch handset that challenges you to call it a phone. Like the Galaxy Note, the Vu sports a super responsive touch-screen that works with a bundled stylus so you can scribble and draw to your heart's content. Interestingly, unlike the Note – and most smartphones – it's built to a squarer, more squat 4:3 aspect ratio.
We had a hands-on preview with the device at Mobile World Congress, where LG said there were no plans to release it outside South Korea and Japan. Now the Korean manufacturer has announced that the phone-or-tablet (no, there's no need to garble two words into one to refer to it) will be available globally in September, after it sold 500,000 units in its home market. Originally stated to run on a dual-core 1.5GHz chip, that's now been bumped up to a quad-core Nvidia Tegra 3, as in LG's recent Optimus 4X HD. LG also confirmed it would launch with Ice Cream Sandwich – all the better to tangle with Samsung's soon-to-launch Galaxy Note II?

Suture Line Aftercare when Surgeon out of Country?
Thank you for the question.
Even though your surgery was done in another country, you will be best off running these type of questions by your plastic surgeon (via e-mail or phone). You will find that every plastic surgeon has a different preference/protocol in regards to postoperative care. You will likely get multiple different responses online…
Best wishes.

Surgical Tape Removal After Breast Augmentation and Lift
Unless specific instructions were given to you by your plastic surgeon, I would remove and replace the tapes now to make sure the wounds are healing well. My breast surgery patients continue to wear surgical tapes (Steri-Strips® or butterfly bandages) for at least a month after breast surgery to help support the scars. After the tapes are removed, they them begin using a silicone scar gel.
It would be a good idea to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to follow you postoperatively. Good luck and enjoy the rest of the summer!
Usually in our practice we live suture in for 3 weeks after surgery. I believe since your surgery was in July that you would be safe to remove the sterile strips without problem. Obviously without an exam it's hard to be exact.

When Can I Take off the Tape from Lollipop Lift and Implants?
At this time there is no reason not to remove the tapes. They are no longer serving their function. As long as the incisions are healing normally, no treatment is needed.
Thanks, and best wishes.

Telekom Deutschland is a member of the Wireless Broadband Alliance, which collectively operates thousands of WLAN hotspots across numerous markets in Europe, North America and Asia. It has now also signed a partnership with the WiFi network provider Fon Wireless to extend its current national network of 12,000 hotspots to some 2.5 million by 2016.
Founded in early 2006, Fon operates a hotspot community in which users can share capacity on each other's connections. Sharing creates a private network as well as a public one shared with other Fon members. Fon operates some 7.7 million hotspots in more than 100 countries, though its principal markets are the UK, Spain, Belgium, Croatia, the Netherlands, Brazil, Russia, Poland and Portugal.
For TD, the deal is part of a strategy to upgrade its network capacity in a bid to keep up with growing data traffic. The network, dubbed 'WLAN TO GO', follows similar deals with Fon signed by KPN and BT. TD planned to launch the Fon service later in 2013 through its subsidiaries in Bulgaria, Greece, Romania, Slovakia and Hungary.
Expanding its WiFi footprint is crucial given TD's rapidly developed LTE capabilities since 2009. Having concentrated on commercial services in rural areas in the 800MHz band (as per its licence conditions) it has since extended LTE to urban communities, also operating in the 1800MHz band . Given the high take-up of smartphones over feature phones among subscribers, TD is facing some stark realities relating to network congestion. Given that up to 80% of all mobile data is sent from the home or business environment, the ability to offload traffic to a network of hotspots will relieve much of the pressure.

|Hernia Exercises
|Healing Inguinal Hernia Without Surgery
Title 1
Title 2
Title 3
|"...The doctor wanted to know why I had
canceled (surgery). I said I was going to try to heal it myself. He
listened politely, then said it wouldn't work. He was wrong!... After
learning that it is important to have strong 'core muscles' I decided to
do so... This is hard to believe, but I only did this two times when the
hernia bulge went away for good!..." Boyd
Hernia Healing Procedure
BeiYin Exercise Video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjXydhvWH_M
Exercises I'm doing: (All exercises doing when laying on my back and of course when there are no intestines coming out through the hernia.)
1.) Doing a massage of the hernia place with one hand. Doing small circles, first right hand to the right and then left hand circles to the left. About one hundred times. Then massaging with both hands from down the belly upwards fifty times. Then I do bigger circles around my stomach, about 25 to 50 times, this I'm doing because the last few weeks I had stomach pain (probably because of stress and this helps.)
2.) _/\___o Feet on the ground, legs like picture, then lifting up head and chest. I started with twenty times then adding more as much it felt comfortable coming to two hundred, but now doing only 50 or 75.
3.) Then I do one round of EFT with tapping the EFT points with the affirmation: "I am in perfect health. My hernia, heart, stomach, teeth and throat are completely healed."
4.) Same position as above and I lift up straight one leg into the air and then the other: _/\___o \___o
I started with ten times each leg, went to one hundred and now I'm doing fifty.
5.) Then another round with EFT: "My abdomen is in perfect health. The cells of the tissue and muscles are very active rebuilding and enforcing my abdomen."
6.) Then laying flat on my back, legs lifted up about 15 cm: then lifting up both legs as high as possible and then putting them down but not on the ground but keeping them up about 15 cm from the ground. I started with fife times and slowly went up to sixty, now I'm doing fifty.
7.) Another round with EFT. I do: "My teeth are in perfect health. The missing ones are growing and the rotten ones and all infection and caries is completely healed."
8.) Since two weeks I started with a yoga exercise which is called 'ship'. Lifting up legs and upper body and holding this position as long as possible, breathing normal. I started with fifteen seconds, now I'm at half a minute.
9.) Another round of EFT. I had a 'writer block' and did: "I am motivated to write and I'm inspired and guided." And I continued with this even when the block had disappeared.
10.) Then I do a yoga exercise which is part of the series called 'crocodile exercise' I learned forty years ago from Swami Dev Murti. Laying on my back, legs like the first exercise, arms spread out, moving both legs together to one side to the ground and head and upper body into the other direction. I did up to two hundred times, now one hundred times.
11.) Another round of EFT whatever is needed.
12.) The same position as 10.) only knees touching chest, then moving legs to one side to the ground and upper body to the other side, etc. I started with twenty, went up to one hundred and I'm doing now fifty.
13.) The same massage like l.)
14.) Last round of EFT: " I'm in perfect health, full of energy and in a good mood."
15.) Last exercise: Lifting legs and arms into the air and shaking them strongly several times. Letting legs and arms fall relaxed down and repeating one time more the shaking.
Then putting on my trust and getting up.
Boyd Exercises - http://www.falconblanco.com/health/herniaexchange.htm
I decided to do "back arches" while lying on the floor on my stomach to exercise the lower back. I have chronic low back pain and I thought it might help. It did. To arch I simply would lift the upper and lower halves of my body so only my stomach was touching the floor. It did not seem to overly strain the hernia.
I would lay on my side and lift the upper half to exercise the sides of my abdominal muscles. Then I would lay on my back and do crunches. A crunch is not a full sit up. You simply lift and curl your shoulders towards your pelvis. Also, to exercise the lower abdominal muscles is not easy. I learned there apparently a way though. Bend your knees and spread your knees wide apart. Do NOT place your feet under anything and do not have a friend sit on them. You do not want your leg muscles to help you crunch up. You want to isolate the lower abdominals so they do all the work.
I would crunch up by first lifting up a little with the back straight. Hands can be on chest. Do not use hands behind neck to help pull yourself up or you will not be using the abdominals alone. After lifting up a little, curl your chest and shoulders towards your pelvis as far as you can while keeping your lower back on the floor.
I would do this about 10 times. Each time, at the top of the crunch I would hold it for a count of 10 while really squeezing the abdominals. Concentrate on using the abdominals. Really think 'abs', 'abs', 'abs'. You can move up and down a little to really feel the 'squeeze' in the abdominals. I could really feel the 'burn' while doing the last few reps. The numbers I give here are not so important. You have to do it yourself to find out how many to do in order to give your abdominals a good hard workout without overdoing it. You don't want to over strain your abdominals. I was concerned that this exercise might over strain my hernia, but it didn't. No strain at all.
This is hard to believe, but I only did this two times when the hernia bulge went away for good! I had learned it is important to rest muscles in order for them to grow. Rest means time between workouts. Of course, we all have to move our bodies everyday and therefore use those same muscles, but hopefully not as strenuously as during a workout.
I had gotten to the point in my workouts where I was resting a group of muscles for two weeks between workouts with very good results. Each workout I was much stronger and could lift more weight. So, why work so hard when you can get good results by exercising intelligently?
The first time I exercised my abdominals was March 30, 2006. The second time was April 15, 2006. It was sometime during the third week of April that the hernia disappeared and did not return.
Kuperman Exercises -
"... he cured his own inguinal (groin area) hernia with yoga... abdominal (or umbilical) hernias likely are a result of weakness in the rectus abdominus muscles, which run from the pubis to the rib cage. He suggests beginning with some yogic sit-ups. Lie on your back with your hands behind your head, knees bent, and lift just your head off the floor (no curling or crunching!). You may want to avoid poses that put excess pressure on the abdomen, like twists and full Navasana (Boat Pose). "Practice standing poses like Vrksasana (Tree Pose), which stabilizes the psoas and lumbar spine," says Dr. Kuperman. Even if you are drawn to a stronger practice, nice and easy is what you need now."
2. DIET - To facilitate healing of the hernia opening one has to take as much pressure off the opening as possible. This means reducing the volume of intestinal contents using various means, such as COLON CLEANSING, FASTING, INTRAVASCULAR (INTESTINAL) FAT REDUCTION, INTESTINE CONDITIONING SUPPLEMENTS. Protein, massive vitamin C, etc has also been used to facilitate muscle building.
- BeiYin and Boyd both were successful supporting the bulge with pressure
from a TRUSS belt ot truss briefs. Truss benefits are controversial among
doctors that say it may make things worse. http://www.alphabrace.com/HerniaAids.html
4. ENERGY WORK - Consider supplementing your healing program with the various forms of ENERGY HEALING, such as Yoga, Stress Reduction, Meditation, EFT, Body Talk, Prayer, etc. There is solid evidence that the body can be affected positively and healing accelerated by improving the mental/emotional state of the body. My favorite is Guided Mindfulness Meditation (Audio CD) by Jon Kabat-Zinn

I highly doubt that fingering this E.T. will give you healing powers, but the ring Fashionably Geek reader Shannon Larraatt created is pretty awesome nonetheless. He writes:
"My girlfriend/fiance/wife has a funny little wind-up ET toy and I noticed that the head is about the perfect size for a ring (her engagement ring is from Deadringer, so it's kind of a theme) so I took a mold of the toy, sculpted it into a ring using two-part epoxy clay, and eventually ended up with a nice silicone (Dragon Skin 20) mold. I've cast it so far in pewter and plastic resin with nickel powder suspended in the martix (so sort of a plastic metal hybrid)".

(Thanks Shannnon!)

Letheringsett watermill is two hundred and twelve years old and was first mentioned in the doomsday book as 'leringseta'. The doomsday mill was owned by one Walter Gifford, the first recorded miller, he was one of eight known owners, although the mill was part of Letheringsett estate its grandeur meant that it was regarded as a separate property. There were other mills on the site all of which burnt down.
The structure that stands today was built in 1802, it is made with red brick with a black pan tiled roof.
Richard Rouse built the mill that stands today, he made the mill so that it was twice the size of any of the former mills in order for it to house four sets of grind stones, the mill was fitted with an iron wheel so that it was capable of driving the four sets of stones, two of which are still working.
Not very much of the mills history is known, as in 1960 the mill was broken into and historical documents were stolen. The mill changed hands in 1972 where it became an animal feed mill, as human consumption of flour seemed to cease.
The miller in 1984, 'Peter Warwick' installed a Ruston and Hornsby engine converting the mill from water to diesel power.
In 1987 Michael Thurlow leased the mill with the idea in mind to restore the mill back to its full glory and to sell the flour to its full potential.
Restoration started with 10,500 feet of flooring, compliments of the 1987 gales. Michael Thurlow had no milling experience when he took on the lease as he had spent twenty years of his life in the royal navy as a radar operator and had traveled the world seven times, He gained all his knowledge from milling books and from visiting existing running watermills.
The workings of the mill also had to be restored, the water wheel for one had to be realigned and then its buckets rebuilt taking in to consideration that Letheringsett's water wheel was of an unusual design (it runs both breast and undershot, this means that the water can either hit the center of the wheel or the bottom of the wheel to fill the buckets with water, this was done to maximise the useage of the ever changing water levels of the river Glaven.)
The mill now houses two sets of grind stones. The stones are made up of a bed stone (a stone that doesn't move) and a runner stone which rotates on a shaft, a pattern is chiseled in to the face of each grind stone so that the stones cut the wheat into smaller and smaller pieces instead of rolling (crushing the wheat) as most modern day mills do today, the closer the stones are put together the finer the flour is. The stones are powered by the water wheel via the great spur wheel. During the war a Ruston and Hornsby engine was installed converting the mill from water to diesel power. The Ruston engine was used, partly because of the amount of water being used but also because the stability of the shaft was questionable, so the connection from the waterwheel to the stones was laid to rest until restored by Michael Thurlow.
The way the flour is made is done in stages, the wheat is brought in on a tractor (horse and cart in former days), it is then hoisted to the top of the mill via the chain hoist which is on the top floor, this is where the wheat is then cleaned and stored once needed it is placed in a large hopper which then feeds a smaller hopper on the second floor. When the mill is set in motion the grain is fed into the eye of the stones, to ensure that the wheat keeps flowing a jiggling mechanism is built in this is known as the shoe and willow, flanges on the top of the stone nut shaft clatter against the side of the shoe to keep the grain on the move, the willow is a piece of wood attached by string to the shoe which keeps the shoe against the flanges. The wheat enters the stones and gravity and the movement of the stones drags it through until the flour spills over the edge the draft created by the stones spinning keeps the flour moving around the tun until it reaches the flour chute and falls to the sack below.
Letheringsett watermill hopes that one day the mill can house the four sets of grindstones as intended by the man who built the mill. The stones themselves are hard to find, the best stone is found in France this is known as French burr stone it is hard brittle stone impossible to cut into round shapes, which is necessary for mill stones, therefore they are cut into chunks and then held together with plaster (a bit like crazy paving). An inferior grade of stones are found in the peak district they are millstone grit which makes very nice round millstone shapes but they do not perform nearly so well.
The mill also houses a chain hoist as a way of transporting the grain to the top floor of the mill, this is also operated by the waterwheel but using a different set of cogs which are engaged when the stones are disconnected, the chain hoist itself has a drum on which it is wound which then passes over two pulleys in the roof, it reaches down through three sets of trap doors to the ground floor.
Now that the mill is virtually fully restored the mill turns over an average of three and a half tons of flour a week. The mill grinds three types of flour all grown from English wheat, the mill sells its flour to customers far and wide some has even been exported to Russia and New Zealand. Michael has managed to restore the whole building to make a very successful and profitable business of which has received the top tourist attraction award for seven years running.
The mill now is recognized as one of the great Norfolk mills and their flour and bread is sought after all over the country. It is the only working watermill in Norfolk.
A little hard work pays off in the end!
Unfortunately Michael Thurlow passed away in June 2013. The business became a partnership between Michael's wife Marion and his daughter Michelle who continued to run the mill in the way that Michael wanted. Since taking over the mill, the mill now houses two sets of fully operational millstones. Much of the flour produced comes from wheat grown locally in Norfolk, including spelt flour.
Sadly, Marion Thurlow also passed away on 23rd August 2015 – the mill is now run by their daughter Michelle, who endeavors to keep the mill running in all its glory for the foreseeable future.

Large Animal Veterinary
Ask a Large Animal Vet and Get Answers to Your Questions ASAP
Chronic arthritis is common in older donkeys. This can cause difficulty getting up particularly if the donkey is overweight. It is most common in older donkeys because they have more wear and tear arthritis. Other joint, muscle or bone injuries can cause similar signs.
Founder of laminitis is another common problem that makes it difficult to get donkeys up. This is common in the spring when the grass is lush and at other times of the year when rain has make the grass particularly fast growing and lush. Generally, the donkey acts like it is walking on eggs and shifting from one front foot to the other. The digital pulse is stronger than normal. This can be felt over the sesamoid bones on both sides toward the back of the fetlock. The feet can feel hotter than unaffected feet.
Some neurologic problems could have a similar presentation.
Treatment depends on the exact cause and a hands on exam by your veterinarian is needed to diagnose the cause in your donkey. Treatment could involve antiinflammatory drugs like butazolidin, limited access to grass......etc.
Let me know if you have follow up questions.
How old is the donkey?
Does he have any problems with chronic lameness?
What type of feed does he get
The donkey is 7yrs.old and has not had any past problems with lameness.
He gets 4 cups of sweet feed a day plus timothy and grass hay 2 times a day, which he cleans up his feed OK.. He just has a problem getting up.
Thank you
The main causes of trouble getting up are pain and weakness.
The most common cause of pain is arthritis. Giving pain medication for a few days is one way to determine if pain is involved. If the trouble getting up gets better on meds, pain is a factor.
Weakness is often a result of nervous system problems. It can also be caused by mineral deficiency or excess (selenium is an example), some plants, etc.

DENVER (AP) The Colorado Rockies escaped with a win on Ian Stewart's (FSY) tiebreaking homer in the eighth inning.
Now, they're hoping to avoid a bigger loss —Troy Tulowitzki (FSY).
GAME REPORT: Rockies 4, Reds 3
The NL wild card-leading Rockies rallied for a 4-3 win over the Cincinnati Reds on Monday despite losing their smooth-fielding shortstop.
Tulowitzki left the game in the seventh with a strained lower back after hitting a game-tying single. He's listed as day-to-day.
"I'm not sure what happened. I took a swing and I felt a little something and felt like I was a little locked up," Tulowitzki said. "I'm a little sore right now and tight. Maybe I'll wake up and feel good to go (Tuesday)."
Tulowitzki tried to convince manager Jim Tracy that he could remain in the game. He nearly succeeded too, until Tracy saw him jog down the first-base line to test his back and favoring it.
Tracy decided to insert Omar Quintanilla (FSY), not wanting to take a risk.
"You can't lose this guy for an extended period of time," Tracy said.
The Rockies ended Cincinnati's seven-game winning streak and maintained their two-game cushion over the San Francisco Giants, who kept pace by beating San Diego on Monday.
Stewart delivered the big blow, hitting a solo shot off reliever Carlos Fisher (FSY) (1-1) for his 23rd homer of the season. Fisher, who was called up Monday from Single-A Sarasota, said he threw a two-seam fastball that stayed over the heart of the plate.
"I let the team down," Fisher said.
The homer was a measure of revenge for Stewart, who struck out earlier this season against Fisher in Cincinnati.
"I put a pretty good swing on it," Stewart said.
That was the first time all day. Stewart struck out in three previous trips to the plate.
Rafael Betancourt (FSY) (2-1) earned the win with a perfect eighth, while Franklin Morales (FSY), filling in for the injured Huston Street (FSY), pitched out of a jam to pick up his fourth save in five chances.
Morales, however, certainly didn't make things easy.
The Reds had two on and none out in the ninth, but Morales got Jonny Gomes (FSY) to fly out and then Scott Rolen (FSY) was thrown out on the back end of a double-steal attempt.
The Rockies were ready for just such a scenario.
"I don't want to sit in my dugout and be surprised," Tracy said. "I want to be prepared. We had a plan of attack."
That blueprint included throwing behind the lead runner, not going after the speedy Brandon Phillips (FSY), who was trying to steal third.
Still, it took a sensational scoop by Clint Barmes (FSY) to pluck Chris Iannetta's (FSY) throw from the dirt and tag out Rolen.
"There wasn't a steal sign," Reds manager Baker said. "(Phillips) has a green light. (Rolen) had a big lead and when he saw Brandon run ... they made a good play. That was a key play because we had Morales on the ropes."
Yet Morales wiggled out of trouble, striking out Darnell McDonald (FSY) to end the game.
Ubaldo Jimenez (FSY) went six innings in the no-decision, marking the 25th straight start he's gone at least six. His three runs allowed, though, were the most since July 27 against the Mets in New York.
After the game, the flamethrower said he tweaked his left hamstring running the bases and that it affected his fastball. So Jimenez went with a steady diet of breaking pitches.
Jimenez said he doesn't expect to miss his next start.
"No, no, no," he said. "I'll get better."
The Rockies were thrown out twice at home plate Monday, once when Brad Hawpe (FSY) tried to score from third on a pitch that got away from catcher Corky Miller (FSY) and again when Carlos Gonzalez (FSY) tried to score from first on Todd Helton's (FSY) RBI single.
No matter, Stewart's blast made up for the baserunning mistakes.
"It's obviously a great game to win, a great game to come back to win," Tracy said.
Notes: Baker said before the game he had no update on the status of RHP Micah Owings , who left the game Sunday after being hit in the helmet by Atlanta pitcher Kenshin Kawakami . ...
