Baby Blanket!
Mamas.. did your newborn/infant have a blanket you always used with them.. to cuddle them up in, lay them on, cozy up with them in..!?
We do! Monroe was gifted these COZY circa blankets, from Target, I think and he loooves them! I swear he lived in them the first few weeks of life, that and diapers :) hehe I also love the Aden & Anais muslin swaddle wraps.. they are so cozy, light weight and perfect for just about anything.. they even get better with each wash!
Nina's used a blanket from day 1 in the hospital. We had brought a thick green and white plad patterned baby blanket with us and the nurses would swaddle her in that. Now, she still loves her thick blankets, but she likes to hug them when she sleeps, rather than be covered
Aww.. that sounds so cute!!! I love Nina's name :)

Ooo it sure sounds like we do!!

i have always used a blanket on my daughter, however she never liked swaddling. she likes to be tucked in and thats it. we have one pink baby blanket with satin around the edges and she has to sleep with it. when we wash it...she knows its been washed eek!
Oh yes!! Zayla has had this soft Dora blanket since she was born, she can't sleep without it, half the time she takes it with us when we leave. She'll be 4 in July so needless to say not so soft anymore. I've even tried buying her a new one that looked almost exactly like hers and she didn't want any part in it.

The phrase "political art" is enough to turn any dinner party toward the vodka bottles. Political art? It's awkward. Preachy. Certainly undeserving of public funding. In a 2004 New York Foundation for the Arts poll, 69 percent of respondents agreed that "political art is boring."
Maybe Julia Page was too busy to get the memo. In 2004, she was graduating with an MFA from Oakland's Mills College, and since then she has created a body of work that maps the intersection of statecraft and stagecraft — work that manages to defy the 69 percent. It's interesting and witty. She's created animated schematics of imaginary survivalist shelters (The Best Laid Plans, 2004), compiled footage of presidential daughters caught in unguarded moments (Heir Apparent, 2004), and fashioned larger-than-life topiary soldiers (Ground Soldiers, 2001-2004). Her work creates wedges in the wall of what the media calls "content" by breaking the story down — the story we tell ourselves as well as the story our national identity provides for us.
Page's latest project, a video installation showing at Catherine Clark, effectively dismantles the theater of politics. Page has taken footage from C-SPAN2 showing the Senate debating the war in Iraq and edited it to re-create the final scene of Samuel Beckett's play Waiting for Godot. Single words from each senator create a back-and-forth call-and-response between two screens, one to represent each of the two main characters in the play, flanking a dead tree, which is the only stage decoration prescribed by Beckett. The effect is a caricature of Beckett's famously stilted dialogue, complete with awkward silences (which are long enough, Page says, to sometimes make viewers think the video is broken) and coughs. Thus the senatorial oratory, with its pretensions toward "speaking for the common man," is reduced to little blips and blurts, literal sound bytes.
That the piece, titled Waiting for (), is watchable, even hypnotic, is a testament to the seductive power of video — a seductive power often used to sway political viewpoints. In Waiting for ( ), the cryptic quality of the dialogue from Godot allows the piece to be interpreted in many ways, which is crucial to any successful work of political art. When Pablo Picasso was asked to explain the meaning of Guernica, he replied, "It isn't up to the painter to define the symbols! Otherwise it would be better if he wrote them out in so many words! The public who look at the picture must interpret the symbols as they understand them."
You could say that Waiting for ( ) is about the emptiness of political debate — especially in relation to the war in Iraq — or about the impossibility of knowing the outcome of a war, or about the power of one single word in debate. You could say it's about meaninglessness, a common interpretation of Beckett's play itself.
Page was actually in Waiting for Godot when she was 9 or 10 years old. Her father, a theater professor, cast her as "the boy." Standing backstage, she heard the play in its entirety "50 or 60 times," she says. To her, Godot is "about hope, and [Waiting for ( )] is very much about approaching the Senate as an ensemble that has to work together — and I have a lot of hope for that cooperation. That's what we want out of an elected official. You have these moments where, watching the process, there's a beauty in it that's hopeful."
The 30-year-old artist, who teaches at UC Berkeley and UC Santa Cruz, has coppery hair and two bright-blue bird tattoos — one on each wrist — that flutter through the air as she speaks while seated at a tea shop above Yerba Buena Gardens. Sensitive to the fact that political art can have a short shelf life, she says, "When I hear interpretations of my work that are didactic or reductive, or that assume that my politics are this or that, I worry. When I was conceiving of the piece, the shadow of the war was coloring everything. It's been written about as being more about the war than I see it. My hope for this piece of mine is that, while it may be about the Iraq war now, it'll be about something else in 10 years."
In the meantime, Page will continue to create art that treads the waters of politics. She is currently working on a piece about the language of revolution. It may incorporate radio transmitters and footage of the Black Panthers. She shrugs unapologetically. "It's a very political world right now," she says. "It feels very present."

Analysis of a comprehensive dataset of diversity generating retroelements generated by the program DiGReF
Comparative and evolutionary genomics
Diversity Generating Retroelements (DGRs) are genetic cassettes that can introduce tremendous diversity into a short, defined region of the genome. They achieve hypermutation through replacement of the variable region with a strongly mutated cDNA copy generated by the element-encoded reverse transcriptase. In contrast to "selfish" retroelements such as group II introns and retrotransposons, DGRs impart an advantage to their host by increasing its adaptive potential. DGRs were discovered in a bacteriophage, but since then additional examples have been identified in some bacterial genomes.
Here we present the program DiGReF that allowed us to comprehensively screen available databases for DGRs. We identified 155 DGRs which are found in all major classes of bacteria, though exhibiting sporadic distribution across species. Phylogenetic analysis and sequence comparison showed that DGRs move between genomes by associating with various mobile elements such as phages, transposons and plasmids. The DGR cassettes exhibit high flexibility in the arrangement of their components and easily acquire additional paralogous target genes. Surprisingly, the genomic data alone provide new insights into the molecular mechanism of DGRs. Most notably, our data suggest that the template RNA is transcribed separately from the rest of the element.
DiGReF is a valuable tool to detect DGRs in genome data. Its output allows comprehensive analysis of various aspects of DGR biology, thus deepening our understanding of the role DGRs play in prokaryotic genome plasticity, from the global down to the molecular level.
Living organisms utilize many mechanisms to ensure fidelity of replication and to reduce the mutation rate. However, in some circumstances, an increased mutation rate can be beneficial. In particular, pathogenic organisms are often subjected to selection for diversity to overcome host defenses and/or increase host range. For example, mutator mutants lose the mismatch repair system
DGRs include a gene encoding a reverse transcriptase (RT) as well as a template repeat (TR) and a variable repeat (VR) (Figure
Figure 1
Mode of action of diversity-generating retroelements (DGRs)
Mode of action of diversity-generating retroelements (DGRs). DGRs always comprise an ORF encoding a reverse transcriptase (RT), a template repeat (TR) and at least one target ORF harboring the variable region (VR), which corresponds to the TR. First, an RNA transcript is made from the TR, which is then reversely transcribed by the RT in an error-prone fashion. In a process termed mutagenic homing, the mutagenized cDNA replaces the parental VR in the target ORF, thereby altering the host gene.
The DGR characteristics described above have been mainly derived from investigation of a single element, the
Results and discussion
DiGReF reliably identifies potential DGRs
The sequences in the NCBI nr protein database were subjected to a psi-blast search to identify sequences that potentially encode RT enzymes. There were 2651 hits. DNA Sequences 5000 bp up- and downstream of each RT were extracted and subjected to analysis by the DGR-finder program DiGReF (Additional file

To eliminate artifact hits such as low complexity repeats or sequences that are a result of recent gene duplication events, only repeats with at least 10 adenines in the TR and at least 7 A → B substitutions in the VR (B = G, C or T) were considered. TR sequences with less than 10 potential mutation sites would only be able to provide a diversity of < 2.6 x 105 possible VR sequences. Due to the logarithmic correlation between repertoire size and the probability of finding a protein of the desired properties in a repertoire
With these criteria, 155 of the 2651 RT hits could be identified as containing DGR-like repeat structures, 126 of which had not been previously described (Additional file

Part A of the table lists the gi-numbers of all RTs from the psi-blast search that were positive in a DiGReF analysis with default settings (cut off seven or more adenine exchanges in a 50 bp window. Part B shows the additional 47 hits obtained when lowering this cut off to five or more A substitutions. Only six of these are most likely DGRs (i.e. they feature a (L/I/V)GxxxSQ or (L/I/V)GxxxNQ sequence, and their VR is part of an ORF and not a low complexity repeat). Part C lists the remaining gi-numbers of RTs from the psi-blast search that yielded no hit in the DiGReF analysis.

These examples suggest that DGRs do not have a dominant mode of interspecies transmission. They can use bacteriophages, plasmids and transposons for dispersal. The selective advantage they provide to the host should help them to stay maintained in those gene transfer vectors.
DGR reverse transcriptases form a distinct and well-defined clade characterized by an SQ dipeptide
Using the set of potential DGRs identified by DiGReF, we next examined the corresponding RTs in further detail. Their size ranged from 260 to 527 aa. We found a few shorter sequences, but upon manual inspection, these entries proved to be RT genes that had been truncated by a mutation event (a transposon insertion, a nonsense mutation or a frameshift mutation, Figure

Apparent exceptions from the DGR RT clade are often artifacts
Twenty-eight sequences of the input sequences that include the SQ motif did not produce hits with DiGReF (Additional file
The SQ motif may be responsible for RT mediated mutagenesis
Our comprehensive search showed that DGRs are only found within the subset of RTs that cluster with already known DGR RTs. Considering that DGR cassettes are otherwise highly diverse in structural organization, accessory proteins and VR-ORFs (see below), this monophyletic origin means that the RT function in DGRs cannot easily be replaced by another bacterial (group II intron) or viral RT, arguing for the involvement of the RT in diversification. If host factors were responsible for editing the RNA or cDNA, the high plasticity of bacterial genomes would make RT swaps quite likely. The exclusive association with the SQ-clade of RTs prompted us to analyze the most highly conserved regions 4 and 5 for possible structure/function relationships.
The catalytically essential aspartate residues of reverse transcriptases are located in domain 5. In DGR RTs, they are part of a YxDD motif. While the two aspartates are 100% conserved, the tyrosine is replaced by phenylalanine in 14% of the cases. The second position is not that highly conserved. 53% of the DGR RTs have an M at this position, 33% a V, and the remaining entries feature the small non-polar amino acids A or C (Figure
The almost exclusive appearance of the SQ motif in region 4 of DGR RTs suggests a mechanistic connection between these amino acid residues and the function of DGRs. Since the unique feature of DGRs is adenine-specific mutagenesis, we hypothesize that the SQ motif plays a vital role in defining RT fidelity. The crystal structure of HIV RT in complex with a DNA template:primer and a dNTP has suggested that domain 4 (which comprises the QGxxxSP motif) participates in binding and selection of the incoming nucleotide as well as template coordination near the active site
Nucleotide substitutions are essentially random
To further analyze the pattern of misincorporations, we determined the frequency of each of the four bases at the variable positions in the VRs of all identified 155 elements (Figure
Figure 6
Statistical analysis of adenine substitutions
Statistical analysis of adenine substitutions. Frequencies of the four bases were determined for each adenine-corresponding position in the VRs of our data set. Bars represent the mean values of these frequencies over the total results set (A) or the
It seems likely that host factors or different selectivity of individual RTs might influence the choice of substituted nucleotides. If there were no such selectivity, the average number of changes to each nucleotide in a VR would be proportional to the number of A-residues in the TR. The observed results were compared with these predictions using χ2 tests. Significant differences were found for G-residues (p = 0.00008) and T-residues (p = 0.0057), but not for C-residues (p = 0.13). This suggested some influence of host factors or RT specificity on exchange preferences. To investigate this further, we selected a group of 15 DGRs that carry closely related RTs and are found in one genus, the
Repeat length is limited to ~ 150 bp
By providing automated retrieval of sequence information and assignment of VRs and TRs, DiGReF allows for comprehensive analyses of structural features of DGRs. For example, comparison of VR lengths showed that most VRs lie in the range of 100 ± 50 bp. Upon manual inspection, the shorter TR/VR pairs are often flanked by a non-A mismatch and can usually be extended further, but they never exceed 180 bp (data not shown). The relatively short repeat length is in line with recent experimental evidence which showed that although DGRs tolerate some extra sequence in their TR and can transfer it to the VR, longer additional DNA sequences are quickly purged
DGR structure is highly variable
Previous investigations of DGRs had noted considerable variation in the relative order of cassette components
Figure 7
Structural diversity of DGRs
Structural diversity of DGRs. Arrangements of DGR elements was determined and DGRs were classified into four main groups and respective subgroups. The number and fraction of hits per subgroup is given in parentheses. RT ORFs are shown in green and target ORFs in blue, TRs are depicted in pink and VRs in yellow. Some subgroups (1e, 1f, 3b, 3e, etc.) were not observed in our data set and are thus missing in this figure.
DGR structure does not seem to be tightly correlated with RT phylogeny. For example, structural group 2 consists mostly of cyanobacterial sequences with similar RTs, but also includes other elements, e.g. from
A significant fraction of DGRs includes multiple VRs
While most DGRs had the described standard structure comprising one VR, a TR and the RT
Within each DGR, multiple target ORFs show high protein sequence homology to each other. Also at the nucleotide level, the ORFs fulfill the criteria of paralogy (30% sequence identity over at least 60% of the sequence,
Duplication of genes is not an uncommon event in nature. In most cases, there is no significant increase in fitness and one of the copies becomes inactive and is finally deleted again
Interestingly, our search for paralogous target genes in the complete genomes of the host organisms also unearthed additional ORFs that include perfect variable repeats differing exclusively in A-positions from their corresponding TR. The maximum distance between a DGR RT and additional target ORFs was observed in
A new structural DGR type features inversions
During our studies, we identified three RTs (
The program DiGReF is designed to easily and automatically search for DGRs. With this program, we were able to reliably identify all previously described DGR sequences, but in addition, we found over 100 new cassette structures that show the typical features of DGRs. Changing the search parameters allowed us to identify new structural DGR types. Currently, the program is mainly limited by incomplete or misassembled sequence data, but allows facile constant surveillance of newly sequenced genomes for DGRs.
Moreover, the modular nature of DiGReF and its flexible output (e.g. in graphical format) greatly facilitate the downstream analysis of various aspects of DGRs. In this work we have analyzed repeat length, nucleotide substitution patterns, RT phylogenetics, cassette structure and interspecies transfer of DGRs, but the program output also offers the possibility to address other questions pertaining to DGR function. For example, the program can be adapted to extract the target ORFs of DGRs. Although the crucial role of DGRs in phage tropism switching is well understood, the function of these elements in bacteria is still unclear. Many target ORFs are located in the membrane, belong to the FGE-sulfatase superfamily and assume a Clec-type fold
RT sequence collection
Using eight protein sequences (GenBank GI-no. 186684985, 134299090, 148359926, 113474819, 42527768, 90580666, 149833092, 41179367) representing RTs from previously described DGRs as queries, we performed psi-blast searches with two iterations against the nr protein database (November 2011). For subsequent iterations, the top thirty hits from the first search were used as queries. More than two iterations did not lead to significant changes in the obtained set of reverse transcriptases. After the last iteration, all hits with an E-value lower than 0.005 were pooled (2651 hits) and used for further analysis.

Great Backyard Bird Count 2011 January 05 2011
Organized by the National Audubon Society and the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and taking place Feb. 18 to 21, the Great Backyard Bird Count encourages bird watchers of all ages and skill levels to contribute to science by helping researchers create a real-time snapshot of birds' numbers and movement. Last year, more than 100,000 citizen-generated reports were gathered during the count.
For those who want to participate in this year's count, Audubon Guides suggests keeping these tips in mind:
- Bring the birds to you! Put up a bird feeder where it can be seen from inside and high enough so birds will be safe from predators. Then add bird seed (black oil sunflower seeds are an especially good choice) before and during the count. For more information about bird feeding basics, visit the National Audubon Society's ABCs of Bird Feeding.
- Look for birds anywhere, including at home or at parks, schools or nature centers.
- Make birding more interesting to all of the members of your family by taking advantage of new technologies. For example, the Audubon Guide series of bird apps for the iPhone and iPod Touch use interactive technologies, GPS capabilities and intuitive search functions to make it easier and more fun than ever to identify and understand birds.
- Be quiet! Birds have better hearing than humans: a snap of a twig will send them fluttering away.
- Document! Use the Audubon Guides' GPS-enabled sighting list to keep track of the birds you see during the count. And once you've finished counting, remember to report your sightings to the National Audubon Society and Cornell Lab of Ornithology by visiting Birdsource.org.
- If you don't know the name of a bird, take note of characteristics such as colors, size, shape and habitat. These can be used along with the Audubon Guide series of bird apps or even traditional print field guides to help determine the exact species.
- Dress for the occasion: You wouldn't go skiing in shorts; don't go birding in clothes that rustle, squeak or jingle. And be sure to leave your jangly jewelry at home.
About the Audubon Guide Series of Bird Apps
From Chickadees to Condors, the Audubon Guides series of bird apps covers more than 750 species of birds with information on appearance, habitat, behavior, diet, nesting, mating, migration, endangered status and more. Created in alliance with the National Audubon Society, the apps' features include thousands of professional color photos, more than 2,200 bird sounds, and range maps for each species

text: Even while doing my pre purchase research I quickly concluded I wanted to fly with prop guards, even with so many arguing against it I've always resisted the temptation. Today while out at Key Biscayne a couple younger guys were flying a racing drone and told me how the wind and prop guards were trouble waiting to happen and flying with guards would cause the world to stop turning forward and go into reverse spin causing utter chaos and end of times, Revelations type scenarios. So I figured what the heck try it and see how it flies... I saw no appreciable difference, Many have their own views I appreciate that, mine is I'm not into aerial acrobatics I saw no difference in handling. HOWEVER upon landing sequence I flew within a few feet of my truck nothing new there and a gust of wind caused it to drift slowly into the side of my truck!!!! I've learned don't over correct, under correcting causes a lot less damage. Lost a couple props and seems to have some Gimbal damage I'll asses that when I get home fortunately I have another one I can cannibalize. Well I can truly say our end stinks for a reason, I will NEVER fly without prop guards again!

Development expenditure increased again in 2013, but at a slower rate – less than 5% - to around US$620 billion. When operating costs and exploration spend are added, the upstream total will exceed US$1 trillion for the first time. Over the next three years, we expect investment to remain flat or register modest growth, as the spending boom subsides. The spending...

Report: Fenerbahce fan fatally stabbed after derby
ISTANBUL — Turkey's state-run news agency says a Fenerbahce fan was stabbed to death by two Galatasaray supporters after a derby between the two rivals in Istanbul.
Anadolu Agency says 20-year-old Burak Yildirim was fatally stabbed while on his way back home from the game late Sunday. The report, citing CCTV footage, said two people wearing Galatasaray clothes stabbed Yildirim in the heart at a bus stop.
The report said Istanbul police have launched a man hunt for the attackers after establishing their identities.

Pathogen challenge elicits an immediate response by the innate immune system. Multiple innate immune signaling pathways converge to activate TANK binding kinase 1 (TBK1), a ubiquitously expressed kinase. Substrates of TBK1 have proven to be critical players in coordinating host defenses, dictating the shape of the downstream innate immune response. We have defined a new TBK1 substrate, Suppressor of IKK? (SIKE). SIKE was first identified as a TBK1 inhibitor. In our studies to define SIKE-mediated TBK1 inhibition, we discovered that SIKE was phosphorylated by TBK1 and the TBK1:SIKE interaction was modulated by SIKE phosphorylation. With respect to other TBK1 substrates, SIKE acted as a nanomolar, mixed-type inhibitor of TBK1. Although SIKE influenced TBK1 activity as a high affinity substrate, SIKE's primary function remains unknown. To address this gap in knowledge, we examined SIKE's localization pattern and interaction network. Gross localization studies indicated that GFP-SIKE was cytosolic, accumulated in cytoskeletal structures, and dense cytosolic granules. Tandem MS/MS data from immunoprecipitated SIKE complexes revealed that SIKE interacted with the cytoskeleton, translation machinery, and mRNA transport proteins associated with ribonucleoprotein complexes (RNPs). RNPs are formed following viral infection to reduce the availability of translation machinery for viral replication. This relationship suggests that RNPs form part of the host's antiviral defenses, yet the linkage between innate immune signaling and these RNA-mediated defenses is poorly defined. Based upon our preliminary data, we hypothesize that SIKE functions as a bridge between the innate immune response and post-transcriptional mRNA pools in cytosolic RNPs to mediate a rapid host response at the level of translation.
In Aim 1, we will establish SIKE interactions in epithelial cells that form a defensive barrier to invading pathogen and where rapid RNP formation may represent a key defense mechanism, and phagocytic immune cells responsible for sequestering/removing pathogen where rapid cytoskeletal rearrangement and cell migration are essential functions. We will assess pathogen-specific SIKE interactions using dsRNA in the form of polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid, which mimics key aspects of viral infection, an inducer of RNPs, and S. typhimurium, which is taken up by phagocytic cells and activates TBK1-dependent pathways.
In Aim 2, we will examine the impact of SIKE's phosphorylation state on its localization with respect to cell-type and pathogen stimuli. We will investigate SIKE'function at the cell periphery in association with the cytoskeleton versus its role in cytosolic granules through functional assays including cell migration, phagocytosis, formation of pathogen containing vacuoles, and RNP formation and resolution. These studies to determine SIKE's function in bridging TBK1-mediated innate immune responses and RNA granules will provide critical new insight into how TBK1 shapes our innate immune defenses and establish a foundation for building long-term studies on the function, regulation and viral subversion of TBK1-mediated innate immune responses.
A critical barrier to developing effective modulating agents for our immune response is our incomplete understanding of how protein interactions elicit key events downstream of innate immune sensors. This research seeks to characterize the function of a newly identified TBK1 substrate - Suppressor of IKK?, a downstream component of the innate immune response. These studies will explore a previously unrecognized connection between the innate immune response and cytosolic RNA granules providing a new paradigm for coordinating host defenses to stem pathogen invasion and a mechanistic model to examine viral subversion of this host defense mechanism.

Utah State Route 210
|Route information
|Defined by Utah Code §72-4-126
|Maintained by UDOT
|13.618 mi[1] (21.916 km)
|1941 – present
|Major junctions
|North end:
|SR-190 in Cottonwood Heights
|East end:
|Highway system
State Route 210 is a state route in the U.S. state of Utah that is the access road for Little Cottonwood Canyon and the ski resorts of Alta and Snowbird. The 13.62 mi (21.92 km) highway straddles the southeastern edge of the Salt Lake Valley before it enters the mouth of Little Cottonwood Canyon.
Route description[edit]
The highway heads south on Wasatch Boulevard from the point SR-190 turns east from that road onto Fort Union Boulevard. The four-lane undivided highway continues south-southwest before turning south-southeast again past the intersection of 3500 East. The route then turns off of Wasatch Boulevard and onto Little Cottonwood Canyon Road past the junction of Danish Road and turns east-southeast approaching SR-209. The route turns east entering the mouth of Little Cottonwood Canyon and continues east and east-northeast before terminating in Alta.[2]
The state legislature defined State Route 210 in 1941 to run from SR-4 (US-40, now I-80) at the mouth of Parley's Canyon south along Wasatch Boulevard to Little Cottonwood Canyon, then east through the canyon to Alta.[3] In 1945, the west end was moved to the intersection of Fort Union Boulevard (then SR-152) and Highland Drive. The route now followed Highland Drive and Bengal Boulevard, rejoining the former alignment at 3500 East (then part of Wasatch Boulevard).[4][5] A short piece of Wasatch Boulevard north of 3300 South remained a state highway, as an extension of SR-171,[6] but the remainder was removed from the system.
State Route 229 was also defined in 1941, connecting SR-210 near Alta to SR-152 (now SR-190) near Brighton along a proposed roadway.[7] The definition of SR-210 was changed in 1969 to absorb this mountainous route, but in 1994 it was truncated back to Alta, the extension having not been constructed. Also in 1969, the west end was changed again, beginning at SR-152 near the mouth of Big Cottonwood Canyon and following Wasatch Boulevard to the Little Cottonwood Canyon turnoff. The Alta Bypass Road was added to SR-210 in 1975, providing an alternate route when snow slides close the main roadway.[8] A final extension on the west end was made in 1987, continuing north on Wasatch Boulevard and northwest on a then-proposed limited access extension of 6200 South to I-215. However, a year later, this instead became part of the recently-formed SR-190 so that SR-210 would not have to be remileposted.[9]
Major intersections[edit]
The entire route is in Salt Lake County.

LAFAYETTE, La.- The Warhawk tennis team wrapped up play at the Ragin' Cajun Invitational Saturday with another superb performance on the courts. Head coach Terrence De Jongh's team finished the weekend with an overall team record of 16-2 in singles and doubles matches.
Sophomore Sophie Rufyikiri teamed up with junior Medy Blankvoort to start the Warhawks off on the right foot, beating the ULL combo of Ahlkvist and Burkhartt 8-0 in the "Bread Pudding" doubles bracket. Justyna Krol and Iris Van Leeuwen followed them with a 8-1 victory over SELU's duo of Charpeene and Tokereva in the "Snoball" doubles bracket.
Rufyikiri returned to the court in singles play to beat Lamar's Alicia Porte 7-6, 6-3. It was then Blankvoort's turn to add to the ULM victory tally, as she rolled to a 6-1,6-3 win over Anastasia Tokereva of SELU. Krol and Van Leeuwen took over from there, both notching wins in singles play to boost ULM's weekend singles record to 11-1.
Rufyikiri and Blankvoort suffered their first loss of the weekend in third round doubles play, as they fell to the Kriem and Nychtalova pairing from SELU 8-4. The Warhawks bounced back, however, as Krol and Van Leeuwen finished off ULM's tournament with an 8-1 win over ULL's Bradford and Krsmanovic.
After a fantastic weekend, ULM will have two weeks off before beginning play at the ITA Regional Championships on Friday, October 19 in Tuscaloosa, Ala.

Ultimate You! at Wikia
The night air whipped against Scamandros face, he felt that tonight would be a night to fight for. That day had been the imprisonment of his uncle: The mighty zamorak and a $2,000,000 bounty with him, this was going to be a night of vengeance. Scamandros would break his uncle out of jail, no matter how hard it might be; just then, he saw movement from behind him. Scamandros spun around, "whos there!" "show yourself!" he shouted, "fine then" came the reply and out strode a man around the age of 21 to 31 clad in a blue uniform with a glowing bright blue cape hanging from his back. "I am Concort and I am the one who imprisoned your uncle!""aaaaarrrrrggghhhhh!" screamed Scamandros, Concort unleashed a blast of blue light emitting from his hands. Scamandros dived out of the way and unfurled a lashing of ancient magic upon Concort, Concourt was hit in the torso by this powerful blast and flew backwards "now you shall see my true power!!!!!" shouted Concort. He screamed as his skin transformed into what looked like something that came from hell. He charged at Scamandros and lashed out at him with his newly grown claws but Scamandros dived out of the way and drew his ancient sword, enchanted with ancient magic he lept at Concort and slashed him with the sword "aaaaaarrrgggghhhh!" screamed concort, he struck Scamandros in the face with his claws and every thing started to fade away from Scamondros and become black and white. Scamandros woke up in a bush, obviously he had flown very far due to Concorts blow;he sat up and clambered out of the bush. He saw Concort fleeing away "looks like I shall have to give a bit of a chase" muttered Scamandros to himself and with that he flew up into the air and started speeding towards concort. Concort had changed back into his real form and Scamandros gained on him quickly, he came up behind Concort and gatherd a ball of dark energy into his hands; Concort looked around just as Scamandros blasted him in the face. "How do you like a taste of dark magic huh!" shouted scamandros as Concort collapsed to the ground, unconcious...

Scamandros sat on a bench, thinking how he was going to break into the jail that restrained his father. he would come from above, and strike down as an almost dark blaze. He would land in the courtyard and blast anything that came near him. Then he would go for his father. Scamandros launched into the air and, with a mighty burst of speed flew off to rescue his father from the forces goodness.

Author | Jagadeesh Krishnamurthy | Thursday, Jan 25,2007 8:04 AM
Branded entertainment has picked up in a big way in the country, with specialised agencies dedicatedly working on associating brands with films. Almost every brand is joining this bandwagon and milking the cash cow – Bollywood films. The latest in line is the multi-starrer Salaam-E-Ishq, which also boasts of a multi-brand association. Brands like ESPN, Zee TV, ICI Dulux and Ira Diamond have already joined hands with the film through agencies like P9 Integrated and Mates.
While P9 Integrated has associated brands such as ESPN, Zee TV, ICI-Dulux Inspira and Yatra.com, Mates has partnered with Ira Diamond for an in-film product placement (IPP) as well done its associate marketing.
Speaking on Ira's association with the movie, Darshana Bhalla, CEO, Mates, said, "Ira came on because of the starcast and the right fit. There are scenes in the movie which showcases the essence of the brand and as a result, the brand has been seamlessly placed in the movie."
Revealing more on the branding, Bhalla said, "We have also created a TVC which revolves around the movie and have sort-of given a 360-degree approach to the association. Moreover, Ira has also released a coffee table book which showcases the making of the movie along with notes from filmmaker Nikhil Advani himself."
Talking about the film's association with other brands, Navin Shah, CEO, P9 Integrated, said, "For 'Salaam-E-Ishq', we have an exclusive arrangement with the producers, by which all the associate marketing of the film will be routed through us. Through these associations, the movie has generated around Rs 15-17 crore of publicity."
For this movie, P9 has partnered with television channels like ESPN and Zee for promoting their shows as well as with ICI Dulux and Yatra.com.

SAGU hosts Credentialing Day 2011
Waxahachie, TX – November 1, 2011 – Southwestern Assemblies of God University (SAGU) held its fourth annual Credentialing Day on October 27, 2011. Credentialing Day allows students to meet with district representatives regarding ministerial credits with the Assemblies of God.
There were more than 15 representatives present at the event and a total of 212 students that participated. Students who did not have a their district representative present visited with other district personnel. Also, Students were able to begin their application process.
"I dream of the day when there are just as many students from both colleges – the College of Bible and Church Ministries as well as the College of Arts and Professions – participating in Credentialing Day," says Dean for College of Bible & Church Ministries LeRoy Bartel. "More and more students with majors of education, business, history, media and other liberal arts majors are becoming involved in planting a church, serving as a volunteer, part-time staff member in a congregation, or going overseas in missionary activity. Everyone is a 'minister.'"
The represented districts included Arizona, Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, North Texas, Oklahoma, Rocky Mountain, South Texas and West Texas. Students that participated in the event were from the following districts and countries: Alabama, California, Florida, Gulf Latin District, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, New Jersey, North Dakota, Pen-Del, Southern Missouri, Tennessee, Texas-Louisiana Latin District, Washington, Wisconsin and Argentina.
"Our goal is for this wonderful event to grow," says Bartel. "I would like to see SAGU producing more credentialed ministers than any other school in the Assemblies of God."

or do you have to stick it to a fondant covered cake?
It will stick to buttercream. Put it on before the buttercream has crusted, or lightly brush the back of the fondant pieces with water and put them on crusted buttercream. You may have to hold it in place a few seconds until it starts to stick.
thanks! I have never used fondant before. I was wanting to add some fondant stars to my daughter's elmo smash cake. Is the Wilton premade fondant ok to use??
I put fondant pieces on buttercream all the time. If they are going on the top of the cake, just press them on lightly. For pieces going on the side, I find either a gentle tap into the bc or, as Texas_Rose says, a light brush of water on the back is perfect. The Wilton pre-made is fine to use. I do all the time. However, it doesn't taste super wonderful. I use it for small accent pieces, some of which may be eaten but only in small quantities. I would not cover a cake in it (too much bad tasting fondant all in one big lump!)
I ice most of my cakes in buttercream and decorate with fondant. It sticks well to buttercream with a little brush of water. I personally don't like Wilton's fondant. Alothough people don't really eat it, the taste is not good. I make my own marshmallow fondant. (You can find a recipe on here. And how to videos on youtube.) That way, if people do eat the fondant, at least it tastes good.
The Wilton fondant tastes nasty.
ditto. Wilton fondant is ABSOLUTELY the worst tasting fondant in the world.

|commons-logging auto-detection WAS: [logging] Enterprise Common Logging... dare we say 2.0?
|Sun, 26 Dec 2004 16:23:49 GMT
Simon et al. Log4j is slowly migrating to a model where there will be only a single log4j.jar installed per Application Server. This single copy will be installed under the ./common/lib or ./lib/ directories. See [1, 2, 3] for further details. Consider the case of single log4j.jar placed in ./common/lib, and two web-applications called 'A' and 'B' both built on top of Struts. Also assume that user of 'A' wishes to use JDK logging (j.u.l) whereas the user of application 'B' wishes to use log4j. Since Struts uses JCL, there is no way for user of application 'A' to direct the logs generated by Struts to go to j.u.l and at the same time to have Struts in application 'B' direct its logging output to log4j. (Setting the org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory system property will not help because system properties are shared by all applications.) This simple example shows that the current JCL discovery mechanism will not always work as intended.

What first brought you to yoga?
A few years ago, I came to yoga in an effort to manage symptoms of clinical depression and anxiety and also deal with recurrent pain from a lower back injury. In addition to the mental and physical benefits, yoga has helped me improve myself as a person.
I learn something new about myself almost every time I get on my mat.
What did you think yoga was before you tried?
Before I tried yoga, I was skeptical.
I had heard many great things about the benefits a yoga practice could offer, but from the outside looking in, I just couldn't see how what appeared to just be glorified stretching could make such a difference in people's lives. I soon found out the truth. From the first time I attempted a sequence, I have gained more than I ever would've imagined.
How do you define a "yoga body"?
Yoga is for everyone. A person's practice is their own, not to be compared to that of another. That includes level of ability to get into a pose as well as body shape or size.
How do you identify as being Audacious?
I try to show up authentically in life everyday, by speaking my truth, and making choices that align with the needs of myself and my family regardless of how unpopular they might be.
Advice for beginners?
Just give it a try. Don't get wrapped up in all the details, all the varieties, all the materialistic options. Just keep it simple. Find a style that works for you and go from there.

bit of both
Handsome cute
Have an opinion?
It would depend on which one I clicked with better and who had the better personality. I like either one.
Cute, which my boyfriend is cute and handsome. :D
Handsome and cute go hand-in-hand. If a guy's handsome in my book, he's also cute. If he's cute, he's also handsome.
As long as I am attracted to him I don't care haha
Handsome guy
Whichever one can break walls with his head
@Toad-1 YOU CAN DO IT! (Wear something really hard on your head)
Either one or both.
A mix of both.
A guy I love. The rest is the rest
Aren't they the same thing?
a cute guy is a guy like beiber in his teens. a handsome guy is a guy like Fabio.
Beiber is NOT cute.
This guy is cute😍
And this guy is handsome😍😍https://image. made-in-china. com/2f0j00IKSQRbOBbYku/Handsome-Style-Groom-Wedding-Suit-GWS-016-. jpg
the second picture didn't work
Oh sorry😅
There ya go😊 Handsome
okay. so now that you know the difference, which would you rather have?
Actually I want this:
With one of these attached😍
And I want her to call me her bad little girl😊
So yeah, guys are ok but girls like her... much better lol
Oh! I see. but about that "attachment" you posted a picture of. what the heck is that knob at the top?
It goes in her pussy to ya know, vibrate things😁
OH, now i see. I was wondering where the strap was.
well what about that girl doing that to one of the guys in the pictures?
I'd be jealous as hell😄
Cute girl... girls count in this question righ?
I guess teen girls would generally prefer cute guys while adults will prefer handsome guys.
How about both.

As the war in America dragged on Britain felt its small army stretched thin all around the world. King George, of German extraction looked therefore to the small kingdoms of what is now Germany to raise troops to put down the rebellion in the colonies.
Huge numbers of German troops were ferried across the Atlantic in all manner of exotic uniforms. They were from many differing States but were broadly known as "Hessians" as a catch-all phrase.
Well drilled and eager to close in battle, the Hessians helped to bulk out the Crown forces, whilst its specialist Light Infantry and Grenadier units were a welcome addition to hard pressed British generals.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 22/7/2013 (1492 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
THE word for players trying to make Canada's Olympic hockey team is simple -- you've got to be able to skate.
After winning gold on an NHL-size rink at the 2010 Winter Games in Vancouver, Canada will be moving back onto the larger international ice surface for the 2014 Games in Sochi, Russia.
And as Team Canada executive director Steve Yzerman put it: "There will be more of a premium placed on skating."
There will be plenty of skaters to chose from, as Yzerman and his staff announced Monday a list of 47 players who have been invited to an Aug. 25-28 orientation camp in Calgary.
Among them are 15 who won gold in Vancouver, led by Sidney Crosby, Jonathan Toews, Drew Doughty and goaltender Roberto Luongo.
The final roster will have 25 players -- likely three goalies, eight defencemen and 14 forwards.
"Ultimately, we'll pick the best players available to us, but playing on a bigger ice surface, I believe there is a priority on being able to skate," Yzerman said on a conference call. "That will weigh into our final decisions on putting this team together."
He said being too slow afoot was one reason Canada bowed out in the quarter-finals the last time on the big ice at the 2006 Winter Games in Turin, Italy.
Without naming names, Yzerman allowed there are about a dozen locks to make the team and the tough part will be filling out the rest of the roster.
Some will be young stars who have emerged since 2010, perhaps Steven Stamkos, Claude Giroux or John Tavares. But Mike Babcock, who returns as head coach, said all will have to be two-way players who check in their egos when they put on the Team Canada jersey.
"They have to be able to skate," the Detroit Red Wings coach said. "We expect players to be 200-footers.
"They have to play without the puck. And once again, it comes back to playing for Canada. It's not going to be about any of the individuals, it's going to be about Canada and executing our plan. So they have to find their game within our game."
Others players invited from the 2010 team were defencemen Dan Boyle, Duncan Keith, Brent Seabrook and Shea Weber and forwards Patrice Bergeron, Corey Perry, Ryan Getzlaf, Rick Nash, Mike Richards, Eric Staal and Joe Thornton.
Not all are guaranteed to make the squad again, but Yzerman said big-game experience will work in a player's favour.
He said older skaters such as Scott Niedermayer, now retired, and Chris Pronger, who hasn't played since November, 2011 due to concussion symptoms, were key performers in Vancouver.
"We want to put the best team on the ice, but there is great value in that veteran leadership," he said. "Having said that, we've got to make room for some of these younger players to come in.
"So it's somewhat of a changing of the guard. There's always been some transition where guys were on the cusp of breaking in at previous Olympics and for various reasons they weren't selected, and it's time to move them in."
-- The Canadian Press

When your BMW 535xi was born, it was destined for a person with discerning taste who values European styling in their automobile. You purchased your 535xi because its a reputation for performance and European styling struck a chord inside you; so why would you settle for anything but the best when it comes to great quality auto parts? BMW car, truck, or SUV enthusiasts have become used to a certain level of sporty handling when driving their 535xi around town. Make no mistake, you bought your 535xi because you wanted to buy best-in-class service and dependability both rolled up into one vehicle.
Your BMW 535xi has a liquid-cooled engine, and at the heart of that engine is the water pump. It turns along with the crankshaft via a belt that connects pulleys on each part. Along with the thermostat, coolant hoses, and radiator core, your BMW 535xi water pump reliably injects and spreads the water and ethylene glycol mixture throughout hoses and passages in the engine block and cylinder head; keeping it operating at a manageable, pre-determined temperature. If it fails, then coolant will boil and your engine will be ruined.
Ordering new BMW parts from www.carpartsdiscount.com means you are getting the best deal on the most superior original and aftermarket replacement 535xi parts on the internet. Don't let a Water Pump repair spell the end of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't risk lowering its resale value by buying anything but the best repair parts. Get your 535xi back on the road with the best repair parts from the experts at Car Parts Discount. When it comes to BMW 535xi Water Pump parts, you can find them for 2008 models by clicking the appropriate year below.

Faculty Majorities Vote No Confidence at Wilkes, Southern Maine
May 7, 2012
A majority of voting faculty members approved resolutions recently of no confidence in the presidents of Wilkes University and the University of Southern Maine. At Southern Maine, a vote of no confidence requires the backing of two-thirds of all faculty members to pass, and while the measure won the support of 194 faculty members (with 88 opposed), it needed 251 votes to officially pass.
- At Wilkes, faculty members voted no confidence, 81-19, in President Tim Gilmour, The Citizens Voice reported. Gilmour is planning to retire, but faculty members are angry over benefit cuts and a wage freeze he has proposed to deal with budget deficits, and his decision to accept a paid sabbatical upon retirement. Gilmour said he is making "difficult decisions," and so accepts that they will be controversial.
- At Southern Maine, faculty members have expressed frustration over budget decisions of President Selma Botman at a time she awarded large raises to some non-faculty employees, Maine Public Broadcasting reported. Botman has defended her decisions, but vowed to reach out to faculty members. James Page, chancellor of the University of Maine System, said he takes the vote "very seriously" and plans to meet with Botman to discuss it.

douglass One look at this cookbook and I knew I would love it. It's no wonder that Megan's three boys enjoy each of these dishes. The variety of Italian meals would please anyone.
I have tried Meatballs, Rack of lamb, Fresh vegetables with honey vinaigrett,zucchini scapece style, and Medialiions of pork fillets with mustard sauce....all recieved rave reviews. I plan to try all of them.
This cook book has a personal tourch with many worthwhile suggestions.
As a Southerener I particularily appreciated the REMEMBER YOUR TABLE MANNERS. Well done!!!!!!
Mary Anne
Bacca1 Unfortunately, all the comments on this book are gone. But the flavors are not.
We tried various recipes from book, Fettucini Alfredo, Teriyaki Salmon, Chicken Marsala, Broccoli and cavatelli, D'Italini and Peas and Flank Steak and just one word comes to mind-DELISH!
Megan is a wonderful cook and an incredible hostess; she throws the most fab parties.
As a Home Engineer she has made it a point to provide nutritional meals to the boys while remembering "it's gotta taste good too". Her recipes are easy to follow and the results are second to none.
I encourage you to buy the book and try the recipes, have fun and MANGE! Italian slang for "eat up". You'll be thoroughly satisfied.
Fahgetbout it, capesh!

School foundation will help equip Roosevelt playground
WILLMAR -- New playground equipment is coming to Roosevelt Elementary School to accommodate the younger students it will serve next year.
The Willmar Public Schools Foundation board agreed to donate $5,000 to help purchase the $14,000 playground set.
The PTSA organizations from Lincoln, Jefferson and Roosevelt elementary schools are donating a total of $6,000 to the purchase.
In the past, Roosevelt has had students in grades 4 through 6. Its playground equipment is designed for children in that age group.
Next fall, it will have students in grades 1-5, and kindergarteners will be added when a seven-room addition is completed.
Lincoln and Jefferson will no longer be elementary schools next year. Community Education and Recreation programs will move into Jefferson this summer. Lincoln will have kindergarten students next fall and will be closed once the kindergarten addition is opened at Roosevelt.
Some board members said purchasing playground equipment, a capital expense, goes beyond the foundation's purpose of enhancing the learning experiences of children in the district.
Board member Orlo Almlie said he supported the changes the district has made in reorganizing several school buildings. "It's looking ahead," he said. Almlie is also a retired superintendent of Willmar's schools.
Other board members said they might have objected if the foundation had been asked to pay the entire cost, but they agreed with contributing a portion of the total cost.
"In a normal year, I think we'd have funds available," Superintendent Jerry Kjergaard told the board, "but next year's not going to be a normal year." The district is using all available capital funds to pay for the addition at Roosevelt, he said.
Kjergaard said the PTSA groups will be raising the additional money needed for the equipment. A donation from Steps to a Healthier Willmar is also pending.
In other business, the foundation board approved paying $1,650 for registration fees for 15 Business Professionals of America students attending national competition. Students will pay for the rest of their expenses on their own. A separate $500 donation to the foundation designated for BPA will be given to the group to use as needed.
A treasurer's report indicated that the foundation had more than $31,000 available to distribute and also had nearly $33,000 in a special fund donated by the estate of a retired teacher and designated for the benefit of kindergarteners.
