Glenn and Laura have had one of their photographs chosen for the BBC Weather Watch site. It has been used as a back drop for the local weather forecast.
Autumn 2009
It seems that September has gone by without a mention on my weblog. It was a warm dry month and lots of time was spent in the garden at home. As far as the allotments go we visited to harvest tomatoes, cucumbers and cabbage and did some weeding and tidying but not enough time was spent there I'm afraid.
It is now one week into October and the weather is still mild with some sunshine and so far not much rain. The pumpkins have suffered from the lack of water and aren't so good this year. The butternut squash is almost non existant unfortunately so that is disappointing. The runner beans were prolific but also not as good as last year because of the lack of rain.
We have blown our savings and bought a car. Not a new one, a 2002 registration Jaguar, but have kept the Rover so I will have my own transport and we can also use the old one for allotment visits.
At six weeks old the runner ducks have grown at a terrific pace and now stand well above all the others in the garden. They are lovely creatures, very shy and quiet. All the ducks are now living together in one shed. The old gardening shed that I cleaned out, treated and adapted for them. I am looking forward to seeing the first egg from the new girls.
Signs of Autumn
We spent a couple of hours at the plots this afternoon. The weather was warm and sunny and the ground was workable so we did a lot of weeding. Still back breaking work but easier than when the ground is dry or heavy with rain. Rob dug up a few rows of potatoes and we emptied three bags too so we came back with quite a haul. They seem ok as far as the Blight is concerned so lets hope they store ok. This evening I cooked some Charlotte and they were very good.
We cut another cucumber from the Carmen plant and though they are few and far between the quality of them is brilliant. We also cut one of the Butterhead lettuce. Pity the tomatoes are still not big or red enough to eat. The outdoor tomatoes seem to be getting the first signs of Blight with the young fruit turning black. Very sad. The runner beans were loaded and I picked a large box full as well as giving Frank and his wife quite a few as his were a bit late going in and are only just starting to produce. I pulled a few of the Rainbow carrots too. There seem to be plenty of snails, earwigs and wood lice having a go at everything, especially the brassicas and the white fly is starting to show itself again. We brought home a couple of cabbages and found one that was so nibbled we had to throw it on to the compost heap. The pumpkin plants are rampant and covered in yellow globes of varying sizes and are a reminder that Autumn will soon be here.
A few of the Charlotte potatoes from this year's harvest had spurted so I have put them in a pot in the lean to. To be continued……. Apart from tidying up and laying compost on the empty beds there is not much to report from the plot so I thought a picture of our grandaughter Libbie enjoying the Autumn leaves would brighten up the weblog.
Potato Famine
Rob has finally finished the heartbreaking task of digging over the potato beds on plot 18. I suppose I shall have to start buying potatoes from Sainsburys again. Blooming Blight! Never mind. The plot looks very tidy and we are planning to put a few loads of horse muck on the beds ready for next year. We cut the one big pumpkin and delivered it to our nephew, Matthew, who had asked us to grow one for him for Halloween. I harvested the remaining few beetroot and pickled them. I picked a few nice runner beans again but I feel this may be the last of them. I have left some bigger ones on for seed. Also brought back two lovely pointed cabbages, one for us and one for Roy and Janice. The carrots and parsnips are doing well and we have decided that next year we shall sow the seeds then count the days and harvest at the recommended time rather than letting them get too big. We bought some onion sets today from Focus, one Radar yellow, one Electric Red and one bag of white Snowball. We plan to put them over on plot 18.
Autumn Sunshine
Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness,
Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun;
Conspiring with him how to load and bless
with fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run.
To Autumn – Keats
The leaves are starting to fall and there is a feel of Autumn in the air this morning. I love the Autumn even though it means the end of the growing season for most things. I really must soften the soil around the swedes and give them a water and a feed today. I also have some overwintering brassicas to plant out. The rest of the grim potato harvest is yet to be done. The strawberry runners are still waiting to be potted too. Autumn may be knocking at the door but there are still lots of jobs to do on the plots. Although when I set off to the allotment the sky was overcast and it looked like rain I enjoyed two hours of warm sunshine and managed to tick a couple of the jobs off our list. After picking a few runner beans I weeded and hoed the swede bed and prepared the bed next to it for the brassicas. I transplanted all but a few of the overwintering greens and then gave the whole lot including the adjacent sprout cage a good watering with soapy water to get rid of the white fly which had already settled on to the new plants. Before leaving I covered the new row with wire cages to keep off the birds.

The Shepherd's Call
Hello Everyone,
I see a large part of my calling as your pastor is to help you to grow in your knowledge of the truth of God, to challenge you to think more biblically, and to encourage you in your walk of faith in Christ (though I would say that we are all called to do all these things to one another as well).
In an effort to fulfill that goal I am going to begin sharing links to articles, videos, etc. that speak to different issues having to do with the church, Christian living, theology, etc.
I think (and hope) a beneficial byproduct of everyone accessing the same content each week will provide opportunity for everyone to have something biblical to converse about when together (this will provide for those proverbial iron sharpening iron activities). We need to not only be thinking and reading about these things, but we need to be talking with one another about them.
I understand that some of you may not feel adequate to talk about some of them, but that is actually the perfect reason to bring them up. Learning comes by hearing and discussing.
No Prayer, No Power
How Should We Then Worship?
This article echoes some things I have preached and perhaps some other articles that I have sent in the past, but it is always an important topic. It is always important to be reminded of what are the main things that we as Christians are to be focused upon in our lives and as a church.
We are to be living to worship God, build up believers and evangelize the lost.
That is our focus. It is not complicated, complex or fancy. If we can simply focus ourselves to do those three things, we will be among those who will be fulfilling God's purpose for the church on this earth.
This article focuses upon the worship of God in the context of the weekly gathering.
A dangerous passion for growth
Hello Beloved,
Today I am sending you an article to read. I think it is a very balanced article on the mindset towards church growth.

Demons on a Leash
I have an article for you today that covers an interesting topic, demons and Satanic activity. This is a topic that can have much misunderstanding involved with it. The author of this article is the same author of a book I was assigned to read while in seminary, Angels: Elect and Evil. That being said, I know that this person has a solid grasp on the subject.
3 Principles for Asking for Forgiveness
I hope and pray that you are all having a blessed week. As I like to remind you periodically, don't forget to pray for one another. And, if you have something for us to pray for, please feel free to email me or call me during the week.
For this week I am passing on an article that deals with a subject about which I am sure we all need improvement.
Is It Really Jesus Calling?
I wish to give you something to read. There are always many voices out there seeking to influence our thinking. We, of course, as Christians need to make sure that Scripture informs everything we think. We always need to be leery when others are telling us that they have received "a word from the Lord" that is incumbent upon you to follow or believe or to allow to shape your view of Jesus, salvation, etc.
Yet, in the popular book, Jesus Calling, the author does just that. She claims that she has received words from Jesus and has written them in a book for you to read. I am tempted to go on, but that would negate the reason for reading the article.
Christian Understanding of Islam
This week I am sending a video to you that is very interesting. Obviously, Islam is something that is on everyone's lips and in everyone's ears these days. This is a discussion about Islam and, specifically, the Christian's response and responsibility toward Islamic people.
We must be informed and ready to give the reason for the hope that we have in Christ to all people, even Muslims.
I hope you are having a blessed week in Christ and I look forward to seeing you
on Sunday
Hello Beloved,
I hope you are all doing well this week. I have a short, but important, video for you to watch. I, as your pastor, take both solace and direction from what is said in the video. I also hope that you will understand why I try to do what I do. It may not be flashy, it may not draw large crowds of people, but it is an honest effort to honor God's Word.
Help for those who feel "Disconnected" at Church
if you are not feeling "connected" at church, this article may have the answer for you. I, for one, really appreciate the answer given to this problem. Please read and consider.
The Osteen Predicament — Mere Happiness Cannot Bear the Weight of the Gospel
Once again we have the opportunity to learn a valuable lesson by comparing the teachings of false teachers by truly biblical teaching.
This time our false teachers are the Osteens.
Please read the article I've attached to this email to see the importance of preaching that transcends all cultures and situations.
I remember being told in seminary many times that if your preaching does not apply outside of your zip code, then you need to change what you are preaching because it is not biblical preaching.
You'll understand more what I mean by reading the article.
Has Beth Moore Become a False Teacher?
Hello Beloved,
The following is a popular, mainstream false teacher alert.
It is an hour long video, but if you have ever been a part of a Beth Moore Bible study or currently follow any of her materials you will want to watch it.
If the above sentence does describe you and you have been unaware of her errant teachings, then I ask you to watch desiring only to be devoted to truth and not to a person.
Let me just say that we can all make mistakes in things that we say or believe. But what is important is that when we are shown from Scripture what the truth is, we adhere to the truth of Scripture.
Never believe something only because I or anyone tells you to believe it! Be a Berean and search the Scriptures to verify that what is being said is true.
We have been created to worship, and we take part in a special time of worship each week when we come together. Please read this article to check yourself on the mindset you come with in those times of worship.
Character Is King
When God Loves Me Too Much
This is a short article about how God sometimes withholds things that we want to fulfill His good purposes in us.
What's Missing in Our Worship?
Asking God For Too Much? Maybe You're Asking For Too Little.
I have a short article for you to read this week on prayer. It can be easy to misconstrue the gist of the subject matter. Please understand the balance that is involved, but I do think that the writer has a point on how we sometimes pray too small.

- Compatibility: Various Bosch ART23-30 Models & Qualcast Trimlite Models
- Weight: 59g
- Part of the Efco collection.
Efco 00019 Spool & Line is rated out of 5 by 12.
Rated 3 out of 5 by Anonymous from Not as good as expected I bought this replacement pool for my strimmer. It is the one listed as being for Bosch appliances and it fits the strimmer perfectly. However the line keeps breaking when the strimmer is being used. This is unlike the previous spool I had which came with the machine. Unfortunately the line used in the replacement is not as strong as the original. It does work but it is a bit of a hassle to have to constantly pull the line through when it breaks.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Anonymous from Spool for Bosch strimmer This fits my Bosch strimmer well, however it is prone to spinning off the strimmer when in use. I also had this problem with the original spool so it may be a Bosch strimmer design fault or simply that I am not fixing it correctly. If this is the case it is not easy to fix properly for some reason!

Wow. How did a week go by with me not blogging? Actually, I know. We were busy, busy and having fun so there was no time!
Easter was good. We grilled out and just had family time. It was cold and a bit rainy if I remember correctly. Sadly, I didn't get many pictures that day. On Monday we did our normal. Tuesday is when the fun began.
On Tuesday, JMac was off so we took a last minute spontaneous trip to the zoo. We have season passes and haven't gone near enough. It got a little warm but it was the perfect day! The girls only request was to see the elephants and feed the giraffes. When we got to the elephant exhibit, they weren't out so we missed the elephants, but the girls got to feed a giraffe!
The zoo was hosting Read Across Oklahoma that day so the cast of Super Why was there. The girls were pretty star struck. It was so cute!
Last time we visited the zoo we didn't visit the children's area so that was our first stop this time. The girls got to brush a goat, play on the slide and in the little waterfall and stream. It's such a fun area for the kids.
Wednesday was back to our normal schedule. Even the tornado watch that day seemed normal because it seems like we've had storms and severe weather midweek every week for the past month. Welcome to Spring in Oklahoma. Here's Tensley giving us the weather forecast. Thankfully, I don't think we had any tornadoes in Oklahoma that day.
Thursday was another low key day. I think I worked on cleaning the house a little bit and then we played outside until dinner time.
Friday was my grocery day. We were gone ALL day. When we finally got home I grilled some chicken and made chicken fajitas. They were soooo good! I'm thinking they will be on the menu a lot this summer.
Here's a little funny story for you (although I didn't think it was funny at the time). One of my grocery stops was Sprouts. I don't know if I've mentioned this here but one of the previous times we went to Sprouts, Tensley decided she needed to test out the produce (she also peed in the floor at the bathroom that day but we're not going to talk about that). Anyway, this visit was no different. Both girls were looking at the mushrooms while my mom was looking at the salad mixes (did I mention my mom was with me?). Anyway, I was looking for things on my list and when I turned around I saw Tensley chewing on something and she had a very disgusted look on her face. Upon closer examination, I realized she had decided she needed to taste test the mushrooms and then proceeded to try to spit it out right there in the middle of the floor. Ugh! I quickly dug through my purse to find a Kleenex but came upon a package of wipes (thank goodness!) so she could spit it out. THEN, after being tired of waiting on my mom and I, she decided she needed a snack and grabbed an apple and took a huge bite.
The moral of this story? Add Sprouts to the list of places I go solo.
Saturday was so much fun! We took the girls to pick out seeds for a little butterfly garden we are going to do in the backyard. Then we went out to dinner and headed home. When we got home, JMac decided to try to burn a stump that we need to remove in order to plant the butterfly garden. It didn't really work but we had a great little bonfire going so I invited my sis and her family over for s'mores. The kids played and my sis and I sat on the barn patio under a blanket and chatted while the guys manned the fire. We were outside until after 11pm! Such a good day.
JMac's dad came over on Sunday and brought pizza. It was another low key day which was a good thing because I was exhausted!
I hope everyone had a great week an weekend too! I'll try not to go so long without posting again. But no promises because I'm really enjoying outside time this year. ;)

« Back to music
Madness is a band that retains a strong sense of who and what it is. Many of the same influences are still present in their sound – ska, reggae, Motown, rock'n'roll, rockabilly, classic pop, and the pin-sharp vernacular of their beloved London streets. It may be refined and updated, but its essence remains clear and true. This is what they do best. "You may use the same colours," says Cathal, "but you don't want to paint the same painting."
Most colourful of all is Madness' ability to write songs that sparkle with the stuff of British life; that find poetry in everyday reality – not the faux bright lights of celebrity; songs that may not shy away from death or darkness, but retain the right to employ wit and warmth. They are songs that have left their mark on British pop culture; their spirit endures in the music of Blur, the Streets, Kaiser Chiefs, Arctic Monkeys, Lily Allen, Sway and Plan B (Cathal co-wrote Great Day for a Murder on Ill Manors and appeared briefly in the film.)
In 2012 Madness are in the unique position of having their legacy celebrated by the nation – with historic performances at the Queen's Diamond Jubilee concert, and at the Olympic Games closing ceremony – while at the same time enjoying a creative renaissance that has led to some of their finest work. This purple patch began with 2009's critically acclaimed album The Liberty of Norton Folgate, and now Oui Oui, Si Si, Ja Ja, Da Da. Turns out they never lost their songwriting edge after all, they just misplaced it for a few years.
It is a curious, though possibly telling, coincidence that Madness started in a recession (1979), came back in a recession (1992), "and here we are again," says Cathal, "enjoying such privilege and faith – in a recession". In tough times, Madness is a band people turn to. "It's a strange thing. I think it's something to do with the class system, the melting pot of cultures and styles that resonate through our collective voice… and the fact that people need cheering up every now and then."

Random mutagenesis is a useful tool to genetically modify organisms for various purposes, such as adaptation to cultivation conditions, the induction of tolerances, or increased yield of valuable substances. This is especially attractive for systems where it is not obvious which genes require modifications. Random mutagenesis has been extensively used to modify crop plants, but even with the renewed interest in microalgae and cyanobacteria for biofuel applications, there is relatively limited current research available on the application of random mutagenesis for these organisms, especially for cyanobacteria. In the presented work we characterized the lethality and rate of non-lethal point mutations for ultraviolet radiation and methyl methanesulphonate on the model cyanobacteria Synechocystis sp. PCC6803. Based on these results an optimal dosage of 10-50 J/m2 for UV and either 0.1 or 1 v% for MMS was determined. A Synechocystis wildtype culture was then mutagenized and selected for increased temperature tolerance in vivo. During the second round of mutagenesis the viability of the culture was monitored on a cell by cell level from the treatment of the cells up to the growth at an increased temperature. After four distinct rounds of treatment (two with each mutagen) the temperature tolerance of the strain was effectively raised by about 2°C. Coupled with an appropriate in vivo screening, the described methods should be applicable to induce a variety of desirable characteristics in various strains. Coupling random mutagenesis with high-throughput screening methods would additionally allow to select for important characteristics for biofuel production, which do not yield a higher fitness and can not be selected for in vivo, such as fatty acid concentration. In a combined approach with full genome sequencing random mutagenesis could be used to determine suitable target-genes for more focused methods. © 2012 Tillich et al.

Protein Engineering, Design and Selection | Year: 2012
Mitochondrial aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases are key enzymes in translation. They are encoded by the nuclear genome, synthesized as precursors in the cytosol and imported. Most are matured by cleavage of their N-terminal targeting sequence. The poor expression of mature proteins in prokaryotic systems, along with their low solubility and stability after purification are major obstacles for biophysical and crystallographic studies. The purpose of the present work was to analyze the influence of additives on a slightly soluble aspartyl-tRNA synthetase and of the N-terminal sequence of the protein on its expression and solubility. On the one hand, the solubility of the enzyme was augmented to some extent in the presence of a chemical analog of the intermediary product aspartyl-adenylate, 5′-O-[N-(L aspartyl) sulfamoyl] adenosine. On the other hand, expression was enhanced by extending the N-terminus by seven natural amino acids from the predicted targeting sequence. The re-designed enzyme was active, monodisperse, more soluble and yielded crystals that are suitable for structure determination. This result underlines the importance of the N-terminal residue sequence for solubility. It suggests that additional criteria should be taken into account for the prediction of cleavage sites in mitochondrial targeting sequences. © 2012 The Author.

Diatom Research | Year: 2011
Many major advances in macro-organismal biology, population genetics and evolutionary biology may be attributed to the development of rapid and inexpensive molecular methodology. Here, a simple protocol is presented for a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) of alcohol-preserved single diatom cells that facilitate studies requiring a large number of individuals, inclusive of archived and uncultivable specimens. Our approach integrates cell isolation and PCR amplification of two molecular markers, as well as post-PCR identification by scanning electron microscopy, thereby bridging the gap between classical and molecular diatom biology. The amplification of two genes was performed in a two-step protocol. By applying multiple sets of PCR primers to a single diatom cell, an internal fragment of the large subunit of the ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase gene (RuBisCO, rbcL) was successfully amplified and sequenced, as well as the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region in 20% of the same, preserved cells derived from natural phytoplankton. Multiple-gene recovery from a single-cell source requires further optimization, likely specific for the taxa of interest. Single marker recovery (from first-step amplification to sequencing) from natural, fixed single-cell samples was more successful with overall success rate of ∼31% for ITS and 67% for rbcL, respectively. Admittedly it is 50-70% lower than rates for a culture-pelleted DNA source (68% for ITS and 100% for rbcL) using current standard methods of sequence recovery in diatom studies, but our method is much less labor- and cost-intensive. This approach was applied to the diatom Ditylum brightwellii to assess the quality of recovered sequences. The phred quality scores of our sequences derived from single-cell material were similar to phred scores of our own, published sequences obtained from cultures grown in our laboratory. © 2011 The International Society for Diatom Research.

Background: Among the various biochemical markers, fatty acids or lipid profiles represent a chemically relatively inert class of compounds that is easy to isolate from biological material. Fatty acid (FA) profiles are considered as chemotaxonomic markers to define groups of various taxonomic ranks in flowering plants, trees and other embryophytes.Results: The fatty acid profiles of 2076 microalgal strains from the culture collection of algae of Göttingen University (SAG) were determined in the stationary phase. Overall 76 different fatty acids and 10 other lipophilic substances were identified and quantified. The obtained FA profiles were added into a database providing information about fatty acid composition. Using this database we tested whether FA profiles are suitable as chemotaxonomic markers. FA distribution patterns were found to reflect phylogenetic relationships at the level of phyla and classes. In contrast, at lower taxonomic levels, e.g. between closely related species and even among multiple isolates of the same species, FA contents may be rather variable.Conclusion: FA distribution patterns are suitable chemotaxonomic markers to define taxa of higher rank in algae. However, due to their extensive variation at the species level it is difficult to make predictions about the FA profile in a novel isolate. © 2011 Lang et al; licensee BioMed Central Ltd.

In the mammalian mitochondrial translation apparatus, the proteins and their partner RNAs are coded by two genomes. The proteins are nuclear-encoded and resemble their homologs, whereas the RNAs coming from the rapidly evolving mitochondrial genome have lost critical structural information. This raises the question of molecular adaptation of these proteins to their peculiar partner RNAs. The crystal structure of the homodimeric bacterial-type human mitochondrial aspartyl-tRNA synthetase (DRS) confirmed a 3D architecture close to that of Escherichia coli DRS. However, the mitochondrial enzyme distinguishes by an enlarged catalytic groove, a more electropositive surface potential and an alternate interaction network at the subunits interface. It also presented a thermal stability reduced by as much as 12°C. Isothermal titration calorimetry analyses revealed that the affinity of the mitochondrial enzyme for cognate and noncognate tRNAs is one order of magnitude higher, but with different enthalpy and entropy contributions. They further indicated that both enzymes bind an adenylate analog by a cooperative allosteric mechanism with different thermodynamic contributions. The larger flexibility of the mitochondrial synthetase with respect to the bacterial enzyme, in combination with a preserved architecture, may represent an evolutionary process, allowing nuclearencoded proteins to cooperate with degenerated organelle RNAs. © 2013 The Author(s).

Skip to comments.Special Relationship update: Obama sides with Argentina, Hugo Chavez on Falklands
Posted on 06/09/2011 4:17:46 PM PDT by SeekAndFind
And not for the first time, either. In part of Barack Obama's "smart power" diplomacy that he promised would restore our standing with American allies, the Obama administration sided with Argentina in demanding that the UK open negotiations over the status of the Falkland Islands, joining such stalwart American allies as Nicaragua and Venezuela. The OAS declaration even uses the Argentinian name for the islands, a particular insult, as Nile Gardiner notes:
President Obama was effusive in his praise for the Special Relationship when he visited London recently, but his administration continues to slap Britain in the face over the highly sensitive Falklands issue. Washington signed on to a draft declaration on the question of the Malvinas Islandspassed by unanimous consent by the General Assembly of the Organisation of American States (OAS) at its meeting in San Salvador yesterday, an issue which had been heavily pushed by Argentina. In doing so, the United States sided not only with Buenos Aires, but also with a number of anti-American regimes including Hugo Chavezs Venezuela and Daniel Ortegas Nicaragua. …
Washington backed a similar resolution in June last year, and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton made it clear in a joint press conference with Cristina Kirchner in Buenos Aires in March 2010 that the Obama administration fully backs Argentinas calls for negotiations over the Falkands, handing her Argentine counterpart a significant propaganda coup. The State Department has also insultingly referred to the Islands in the past as the Malvinas, the Argentine name for them.
As far as the British are concerned, there is no "sovereignty dispute." According to the Falklanders themselves (from last year), there isn't a dispute, either:
The 3,000-strong community is already proudly British the phone boxes are the old red ones, the groceries are from Waitrose and many still refer to the UK as home.
A police officer described how last weeks Argentine sabre-rattling had set off a rash of unofficial flag-flying, joining the houses that already have the British or Falklands flag painted on roofs and walls. Everybodys on edge really but theyre being philosophical about it, said the police officer. …
The younger islanders may not share the older generations memories but there is clearly no love lost with the Argentines among them, too. A handful live on the islands but keep a very low profile, said Mrs Edwards. There is very little trade with Argentina, and supplies and visitors have to come either from Chile or Britain. Weve got used to living as if Argentinas not there, said Warren Miller, 16. So long as they dont attack us again, Im not bothered what they do.
So the people who live there want to remain part of the UK. On what basis does the US intend to demand talks over sovereignty? It can't be self-determination, because if that were the case, there would be no question that the Falklands are British, and should stay British. Nor can it be a question of colonialism, as the Falklands have their own home-rule government within the UK's sovereignty, and the people of the islands consider themselves fully British. Moreover, the OAS declaration comes in response to a threat of military action from Argentina, which has publicly talked about a blockade of British shipping in the region over sovereignty claims by Buenos Aires.
Back to Gardiner for some perspective:
It is hugely disappointing that the Obama administration has chosen once again to side not only with the increasingly authoritarian regime in Argentina, but also with an array of despots in Latin America against British interests. Mrs Clinton should be reminded that 255 brave British servicemen laid down their lives in 1982 for the freedom of the Falkland Islanders, who are overwhelmingly British, following the brutal Argentine invasion.
The sovereignty of the Islands is not a matter for negotiation, and Britain will never give in to threats from Argentina or its tyrannical allies in places such as Venezuela. The White House recently declared that Britain remains Americas most important ally. Now it should live up to its words by supporting Washingtons closest friend and partner on matters of vital British interest, including the future of British subjects living in the South Atlantic, whose only wish is to remain free under the protection of the Union Jack.
There seems to be no reason for the Obama administration to back a demand for negotiations over the Falklands, unless it's just to curry favor with anti-American regimes by tossing our allies under the bus as appeasement. It's an absurd stance and an insult to the British, as well as to the actual people on the islands themselves.
I have a personal problem with this.
Obama is such a puke.
A*******H*********, Hugo paid you back yesterday at OPEC Sucker.
Goes exactly along with the Dinesh D'Souza theory that Obama is not merely liberal, or even just Marxist, he's a neo-anti-colonialist (see "Dreams from My Father") —in which case he puts 3rd World interests ABOVE that of the USA and Britain (of course)....
VERY scary for such a man to be the US President.
It is a George Bush policy that extended into the Obama administration.
The interested parties pre-negotiate an agreement before it goes to the UN Law of the Sea.
These nations have overlapping claims on the shelf that extends to the sea bed just like there are overlapping claims in the Arctic among Russia, Canada, Denmark, and the US just like there are overlapping claims in the South China Sea among China, Viet Nam, and the Philippines.
Down south they are to pre-negotiate this in the OAS while up north it is being pre-negotiated in the Arctic Council.
overlapping my ass. There are brits living on those islands and the question of who owns it was settled 30 years ago in a war.
You could say the same thing about Canada. Except, Bush disputed Canada's claim to the NW Passage and to prove his point he sent the US Navy icebreakers thru there without Canada's permission.
I'm thinking this is his retirement plan for when he gets voted out of office.
The list, ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list

Grandfather- Jack Calwin
Grandmother- Tracy Calwin
Sister- Louise Malus-Calwin
Brother- Roland Malus-Calwin
Cousin- Klaus CalwinCousin- Cassandra Calwin
Mason Malus-Calwin (full name Mason Mark Malus-Calwin) is a vampire and the son of Kirk Malus and Lola Calwin. He is the youngest son and the youngest twin. Mason is a vampire like both of his parents. He was originally 3/4 type two vampire and 1/4 type one (as his brother was born 1/4 type two vampire and 3/4 type one vampire), but he lost his 1/4 type one vampire side due to Vlad Tepes, who turned him into a complete type two vampire.
As a member of the Firelock Coven, Mason appears to be one of the fastest. He is also protective over his family and joins in many of the battles. He uses his gift mostly within battles to help him.
Mason was born two days later than his twin, making him the youngest. He along with his family discovered that he was somewhat the opposite to his twin in terms of behaviour and gifts. He discovered his unique gift at a young age and has learned to use it well, using it to draw people to him as a child, since he enjoyed the attention. He was the opposite of his brother in this aspect, who despised attention and used his own gift to deflect it away.
When he reached full maturity, not long after his birth, he began to get closer with Hope Firelock-Reddan, who was about the same age. Hope at first ignored him but then started to trust Mason. However Mason did not use his gift in order to make Hope attracted to her, as he knew that will only cause a 'false love', something he despised. The two began a relationship and Mason began helping her with anything that she needed.
When Mason visited the Braşov Coven, Vlad Tepes removed his type one vampiric side from him, in an attempt to make him weaker. Mason did not notice the change until the battle. Hope also told Mason that she received a vision-like experience after reading a spell that would give her answers to her questions. The question was something to do with the battle ahead, and the answer was that Mason would die. This struck fear into Mason and he promised to marry her if he survived - so that he had something worth living for.. During the battle, Hope cast a spell to draw Death to herself in order to save Mason, when Death seemed to be targeting him next, and this eventually led to Tannith Reddan's sacrifice. Tannith was later saved.
After the battle, Mason was thankful that it turned out successful even though they did have a some losses. Mostly he was thankful that Hope was safe, alive and well. He had proposed to Hope before the battle and told her that they will get married after the battle, if he was to live.
When going for a hunt, months afterwards, Mason was followed by a vampire called Auric Sparrow. The vampire warned him that the coven's actions were not respected by other vampires and that they were a threat. Mason killed Auric due to his disloyalty, disrespect and the treason that he had committed. He then went on to find out about the threat Auric had mentioned, and came across an ancient story of three sisters who once ruled and embodied the vampiric world. This included the threat "Blue Dawn", but also "Red Shadow" and the previous "Green Queen".
As a vampire Mason gains general enhanced skills like greater strength, improved senses, stamina and agility. As well as this he has greater speed and seems to be one of the fastest within the coven, reaching up to speeds of 120 miles per hour. His soft is smooth and vibrant and not pale like his brother's. Mason's strength also seems to be great, as he has shown to be able to rip some vampires in half. He also has the ability to heal from almost any wound, and he is immortal and will not age now he has reached adulthood. Being born a vampire has made Mason naturally aware of his talents.

Physical AppearanceMason is naturally beautiful as all vampires are. However because of his special gift, he can make others believe that he is even more physically attractive. Mason's best feature is his eyes, as he has a condition called sectoral heterochromia in both eyes. His unusual but attractive eyes have "star-shaped" patterns, and are coloured blue and green, which makes him stand out. Mason has a muscular body like his father and has jet black hair, although none of his family have black hair, except his uncle Lotan who has black fur as a werewolf. His skin is not like ice and cold but smooth and warm, like his mother's skin. Mason stopped ageing when he reached the physical age of 22, and now appears around the same age as his mother and father.
The French and German meaning of the name Mason is a "bricklayer" or "stone worker". However the English meaning has been translated as "to make".

Initial consultation
Prior to surgery or treatment you will have an initial consultation with Dr Edward Ball or David Anderson, Senior Patient Advisor at our Harley Street or Hampshire clinic where they will discuss your particular circumstances and advise on the best options for you.
We offer a free initial consultation and hair assessment with David, our Senior Patient Advisor, and Dr Ball at our Hampshire clinic. Following this, you will receive an email summary of our recommendations and any costs for treatments.
For those requiring a more detailed assessment with diagnosis and onward treatment plan we offer a 1 hour consultation directly with Dr Ball for £125. This includes global and high magnification scalp photography, which aids diagnosis and allows us to accurately monitor response to future treatments. At the time of your enquiry David will be able to advise which is the most suitable type of consultation for your own situation. There is a charge of £125 for this initial appointment. This type of consultation is advisable for those that have a more complex nature to their hair loss and includes follow up support as required. Please note this is only available at our Hampshire clinic.
For those wishing to consult in our Harley Street clinic we charge a small fee of £50 for an initial consultation and hair assessment with David and Dr Ball. There is also an opportunity for a free consultation directly with David who will be able to offer advice, recommendations and costs.
Hair restoration surgery
FUE is priced at £5 per graft. This includes all of your post-operative products and 24/7 aftercare with Dr Ball and the team.
At The Maitland Clinic we only ever have one surgical patient each day, so you are the sole focus of attention for Dr Ball and his team. With the entire day committed to you, Dr Ball is able to take time and immense care over every graft he personally extracts. He uses his artistic eye to carefully select softer hairs to create the most natural hairlines and stronger hairs for density and coverage.
Our FUT pricing is as follows:
Up to 1000 grafts : £4 per graft
Each additional graft after charged at:
1001-1500 £3.50 per graft
1501-2000 £2.50 per graft
2000 and over £2.00 per graft
Example for illustration based at 1750 grafts: 1000 grafts at £4 per graft (£4,000) 500 at £3.50 per graft (£1,750) 250 grafts at £2.50 per graft (£625) Total: £6375
Patients are advised to seek an in-person consultation with The Maitland Clinic when comparing graft numbers and prices between different clinics. From our experience, these can differ greatly from one clinic to the next. Making choices simply based on graft numbers and pricing can lead to disappointment. Truly great results come from a understanding of how to make every graft count; using the best technique to maximise graft survival rates, preserve the precious donor supply and create beautifully natural hairlines.
Facial hair transplant prices
Beards, eyebrow, sideburns and moustaches. Prices start from £3,500 including aftercare. The total cost will depend on the number of grafts and the type of procedure required.

The good news is that my ankle is doing much better. It still hurts if I point my toes or rotate my ankle, but not when I put weight on it.
The problem, however, is my knee. It has mellowed in that it isn't excruciating when I keep it elevated. That's an improvement.
Unfortunately, as soon as I get upright, and more so when I put my weight on it, it hurts like hell.
Scott says I probably should go back to the ER or an urgent care tomorrow, or I can wait and see my internist asap next week. I'm leaning toward urgent care tomorrow, at least to rule out something major. And I've got an appointment scheduled already with my internist on Thursday, so I'll have follow-up no matter what.
Meanwhile, I'm so grateful that Scott and Ellie cut their Thanksgiving weekend plans short and came home this afternoon.
... huh? - The struggle is real.

«Learning and Industrial Policy: Implications for Africa1 Bruce Greenwald2 and Joseph E. Stiglitz3 Over the past thirty years, Africa has suffered ...»
This poses an important trade-off. Broad-based measures such as exchange rate interventions require only that the government ascertain that the sectors that would be encouraged by such interventions have more societal learning benefits than the sectors that would be discouraged—and there is ample evidence that that is the case (evidenced by the success of export-led growth strategies). Firms and sectors within the economy self-select, and the expansion of firms and sectors with greater learning enhances the dynamism of the economy.
On the other hand, more targeted interventions can lead to even more learning and faster rates of growth.
Of course, no intervention completely "solves" the political economy problem: Sectors that benefit from exchange rate intervention may lobby for the maintenance of that intervention even in the absence of learning benefits.
Some countries have shown that they can manage the political economy problems of more targeted interventions. The East Asian countries did so by using rule-based systems in which interventions were linked to past export success.
The East Asian countries used the quest for "rents" in a positive way: competition for rents led to firms that learned more and became more competitive in the global market place. In other countries, though, rent-seeking has diverted resources away from growth inducing innovation.
Firms have devoted their resources to learning how to circumvent regulations designed to make the economy more stable and to learning how to exploit consumers and their monopoly power better. Markets don't work well when private returns are not well aligned with social returns; and in those circumstances, incentives to innovate and learn are also distorted.
Liberalization and political economy
Finally, we note that liberalization is itself a political agenda. As we previously commented, markets do not exist in a vacuum. There are always going to be rules and regulations, even in a liberalized world. And the design of those rules and regulations will shape markets. The rules and regulations that were adopted in the process of "liberalizing" and deregulating financial markets in the US and UK led to bloated financial institutions backed by implicit guarantees from the monetary authority and ultimately the taxpayer — a perhaps unintentional industrial policy that distorted the economy.
V Concluding Comments
The central thesis of this paper is that pervasive market failures (and other distortions which result in private rewards being misaligned with social returns) provide a rationale for industrial policies --- government interventions in sectoral allocations. We focused on one particular set of market failures, those that arise in the process of learning: Learning is especially important for developing countries as they strive to close the gap between their incomes and those of the more developed countries. A central focus of development policy should be, how to promote learning, how to create a "learning economy and society." We noted that much of the advice of the past, based on neo-classical models, not only gave short shrift to these concerns, but may actually have led to counterproductive policy prescriptions that were adverse to learning, and hence to long term increases in standards of living.
A focus on creating a learning society has broad implications for financial and capital market liberalization, the design of monetary policy and institutions, macro-economic policies, intellectual property regimes, investment treaties, taxation, and expenditures on infrastructure, education, and technology, legal frameworks for corporate governance and bankruptcy— indeed for the entire economic regime. All need to be viewed through a learning perspective.
Some have direct effects on learning, some have longer term effects on learning capabilities or how they impact the acquisition of learning capabilities, while some have indirect effects, e.g.
as they create more macro-instability, which has adverse effects on investments in learning.
Some have multiple effects.31 For Africa, as it attempts to reindustrialize, to restructure its economies to become more integrated into the global economy and move away from excessive dependence on commodity exports, to raise standards of income, increase employment, reduce poverty and inequality, and protect a fragile environment, industrial policies are of especial importance. We have explained why the widely cited objections—that though industrial policy may have worked in East Asia, they are inappropriate for Africa because of deficiencies in governance—are unpersuasive. Governance issues are, of course, relevant in all countries, and are important in shaping the form that industrial policy takes and the instruments that are appropriately used.
The belated recognition of the potential of these policies comes at a fortunate time, for changes in the global economy may afford the countries of Africa a distinct opportunity to transform their economies in a way that will, at long last, narrow the gap that separates standards of living in the sub-continent from that of much of the rest of the world.
That is the case, for instance, for financial liberalization, which may lead to more macro-economic volatility, and less access to finance by domestic small and medium sized firms, thus impeding the development of domestic entrepreneurship capabilities.

Your relationship started out as novel and exciting. It smelled good, looked good and felt good. But, slowly it took on the appeal of rubber. Why? Many reasons.
1: Boc boc boc: Even the most interesting chicken meal would lose its appeal if we had to stare at the same old bird; day in day out. Not to compare the company of your beloved to a featherless caricature but both of you need to bring fresh material to your relationship. Same old remains old and gets older by the minute. What can each of you do to add freshness to your marriage.
2: Take flight: New scenery to share together doesn't have to cost. At least spend regular enjoyable time together doing something that you both enjoy. Chickens are not known to be the best, high flyers; especially flightless rubber ones. But, they still get around if given the chance.
3: Featherless: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and is only one quality in a partner. To whatever extent we possessed beauty, as we age, we tend to lose what we had. My own head used to be packed with a lot more coverage than it currently fields. But, we all should try to do what we can to be pleasant looking for our spouse.
4: Wings anyone?: Do you consider whether you are a better person now than when you first married? Spread your wings and think about what you could be doing to be a nicer person. Help someone? Smile more? Hold your tongue? Look for the positive to mention? Be more generous? We all vacillate from thinking that we are awesome to worthless, narcissists excluded. But there really are qualities that you can improve. It is very energizing to watch your spouse develop positively.
5: Mini dino-feet: With the right traction (commitment), you and your spouse will continue to enjoy each other. You can look back to what you have accomplished and you can look forward to continuing on your way together.
One good thing about Charlie: despite his stagnation, he doesn't stink. But if we don't develop and grow positively in our marriage, well, our relationship may not be so fortunate.
Time to get cracking...
