Amazing phone case!
This phone case for my white iPhone 4 worked and continues working perfectly! Not only is it $ dollars, but it has protected my phone from some pretty harsh falls. It doesn't look like much, but trust me when I say it is my knight in shining armor. I would definitely suggest you to purchase this! I've had mine for 2 months and I love it, and I am planning on buying another in a different color. I get compliments on this case all the time.Read More
Perfect for iphone 4s!!!!
This case is perfect for the iphone 4s. I took a chance and ordered it b/c it was so cheap. It is a great case. It is exactly like the purple one my friend bought at verizon for $30. It fits perfectly. It's clear so you can still see the apple on the back. The pink is really pretty - not nearly as bright as the picture. You cannot beat it!!!!Read More
wrong color, right price.
Wrong color is not that big of a problem. Rubber makes it stay where I put it. Hole around earphone jack makes some cords not fit properly.Read More

For purposes of transcript analysis in the guaranty purchase review process, SBA will consider the date of default to be the first day on which the full amount of a regular installment payment was due and was not paid in full. The default date will not advance after a loan exceeds 90 days past due unless the loan meets one of the following criteria for restoration to performing status:
A workout arrangement with regular payments is in effect that provides for payments in an amount less than the stated payment amount required by the note. The lender must document its loan file with respect to the terms of the workout. A deferment followed by regular loan payments may qualify as a workout.
The borrower makes sufficient payments to bring the loan payment status to less than 60 days past due and continues to maintain this status of less than 60 days past due by making regular payments.
If a loan is not restored to performing status, borrower payments received by the lender more than 90 days after the default date may be applied by the lender to loan interest and/or principal according to the terms of the note. However, collections that derive from collateral liquidation, insurance proceeds, distributions from the estate of the debtor, or other third party sources of funds must be applied as principal reductions. Guarantor payments may be applied to interest and/or principal.
Liquidation Proceeds and Payment of Interest
If a lender applies liquidation proceeds to interest, the interest recovered by the lender will be deducted from the interest SBA pays at the time of guaranty purchase. If a lender applies liquidation proceeds to interest in an amount in excess of the interest payable at purchase (up to 120 days in most cases), the excess must be reapplied as a principal reduction on the transcript.

The problem that most bloggers need to face after they are done setting up their blog is how they can generate traffic. If you share the same problem, do you know how to attract traffic to your website? Here are five tips for getting more traffic to your blog:
Build backlinks from reputable sites.
Comment on the contents of other bloggers.
Join groups like the Worldwide Partnership Tribe.
You need to install plug-ins on your blog.
Spend some time researching on your keywords.
Paul Liburd<snip>
Forum posting is a good way to go about it to. Offering advice and help to other while leaving a link is great way of giving back to the internet community while generating a little traffic at the same time.
I think keyword is the most important thing ever.You can use keyword in your meta tags and title to get traffic.
Focus on keywords.Quality contents.Article postingSocial bookmarkingDirectory submissionClassified and more...
Writing GOOD content is what makes people stay and recommend. Then you can do the other traffic 'tricks', post in forums, comment in blogs, be present in the social media, do everything so that people see your blog and visit it.
The plugins have to bring a real benefit for the speciffic blog in order to be worth installing, I don't think a plethora of widgets and gadgets would do any good. I always seek for a balance between interactive content and written stuff. It's always best to focus your efforts towards organic SEO and the content quality that that can bring WOM recommendations.
Its true, Original content matter a lot for keeping visitors to stay on your site. try to connect your blog to other blogs, post your stories on some good article sites also share try to share their links on social media sites it will help you bring good amount of traffic for your blog.
Totally agree with you paul, but i like to add something more. If you really want people come to your blog, read your blog and come back again, you need do something in what you wrote. If the content of your articles is very attractive, and a few pictures will be a plus, i think people will come to your blog now and then.
That automatically brings the question - how to build such backlinks from reputable sites?
Sorry, but building backlinks is a topic for the SEO forum. We won't be discussing that here.
Backlinks and SEO are essential. But aside from these, advertise your blog on social media, bookmarking sites, article directory, web and blog directories, squidoo and more. Spread links and the name of your blog around the web.
Totally agree with you 1sk0, but it is always easier t say than done. And i think building backlinks is part of SEO.You'd better have an excellent team to do the SEO, it is very crucial for the organic ranking and saves a lot of money.
I also agree to lonking. If your into serious SEO, hire someone to do every SEO related jobs and focus on your content. Doing all of them at once will exhaust your time. Updated and good quality content will, of course, always draw more readers to your blog via search engines.
Thanks for the helpful info, it actually gave me somethings to think about. I've got other ways, such as advertising, social networks and forum posting etc, but these are also helpful ways to increase traffic. Thanks
I agree with this since this is a great opportunity to connect with other people and perhaps expand your network. Being a member of an online community will help you boost your reputation faster because it can prove that you're really into what you're talking about.
Sorry folks, you should have read post number ten. If you'd like to discuss SEO, please join a thread in that forum. This forum is for discussion of blogging only.

New Delhi, Sep 4 (IANS) The Lok Sabha Wednesday witnessed a war of words between members from Karnataka and Tamil Nadu over the Cauvery river water issue.
AIADMK member M. Thambi Durai raised the issue of reported construction of new projects on the Cauvery river by Karnataka.
He said since there was a dispute, no fresh project should come up on the river in Karnataka without consulting Tamil Nadu.
Terming the reported construction as a violation of the federal structure, Thambi Durai demanded an immediate intervention by the central government.
DMK's T.R. Baalu also wanted to raise the issue, but Speaker Meira Kumar reminded him that he had given notice to speak on a separate matter.
After this, members from Karnataka and Tamil Nadu rushed towards the speaker's podium, raising slogans against either side.
They withdrew for a while, but returned again raising slogans.

ADL: Beck's Comments About Reform Judaism Demonstrate "Bigoted Ignorance"
Blog ››› ››› MEDIA MATTERS STAFF
From a February 23 press release by the Anti-Defamation League responding to Glenn Beck's statements on Reform Judaism:
The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) today criticized remarks made by Glenn Beck on his radio program, in which he compared Reform Judaism to radicalized Islam, as "highly offensive and outrageous."
During his February 22 radio show, Beck described Reform rabbis as "generally political in nature.
"It's almost like Islam, radicalized Islam in a way ... radicalized Islam is less about religion than it is about politics ... When you look at the Reform Judaism, it is more about politics."
Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director, issued the following statement:
Glenn Beck's comparison of Reform Judaism to radical Islam demonstrates his bigoted ignorance. Despite his feeble attempt to suggest that he was not equating Reform Judaism with Islamic extremist terrorism, the simple fact that he would mention them in the same breath is highly offensive and outrageous.
The truth is that every religious body has religious points of view, whether one agrees with them or not. To compare Reform Judaism, which supports democratic institutions, to Islamic extremism, which supports anti-democratic movements and the repression of basic rights - including, for example, the denial of women's rights - is beyond the pale.
Glenn Beck has no right to discount the faith of any people, and he should think twice before commenting on something he doesn't know much about. He owes the Reform movement an apology.

SCARBOROUGH, Maine, SALISBURY, N.C., and TAMPA, Fla. Delhaize America announced its banners – Hannaford, Sweetbay, Bottom Dollar Food, and Food Lion family of banners, including Food Lion, Bloom, Harveys and Reid's – will operate under a new sustainable seafood sourcing program.
The supermarkets' new seafood policy requires suppliers to verify that seafood is coming from sources managed for sustainability and encourages sourcing locally. The requirement applies to all seafood in the stores, including fresh, frozen and packaged fish and shellfish. All suppliers are required to be compliant with the program by March 31, 2011.
"We want our shoppers to have confidence that seafood they buy from us is from fisheries that are viable and maintained for the future," said George Parmenter, a corporate responsibility manager for Delhaize America. "The health of fisheries is important to us as a retailer, both for the long-term product supply and for reducing the environmental impacts of products we sell. Our company is committed to operating responsibly, and our new program reinforces this commitment."
The seafood sustainability policy will be available on the Bloom, Bottom Dollar Food, Food Lion, Hannaford and Sweetbay websites.

HARD-WORKING teenagers are celebrating A-Level success after picking up their results.
Most schools across Colchester saw an improvement on last year's results, bucking the national trend, which saw a fall in pass rates for the first time in more than 30 years.
Colchester County High School for Girls boasted a 100 per cent pass rate, with 43 per cent of students at achieving at least three As.
Headteacher Gillian Marshall said: "We are extremely proud of our students.
"This is an outstanding set of results. Congratulations are sent to all associated with this remarkable achievement."
Abigail Stubbs, 18, (pictured on the frontpage) collected 3A*s and will be studying medicine at Leister.
She said: "I'm pretty shocked.
"I wasn't expecting to do quite as well as I did."
The average results sheet at Colchester Royal Grammar School read 4A*s, with 93 per cent of all grades being A*, A or B.
Headteacher Ken Jenkinson said: "This year's students have done brilliantly and are to be congratulated on their outstanding achievements.
"I expected the grades to take a bit of a dip this year, with the removal of the January modules, but they have held up remarkably well.
"This year group has been full of character, really supportive of each other and good fun. We will miss them."
The school's top performer this year was Libera Zi-Zai Assini, who got an impressive eight A*s and 3As.
She said: "Taking so many subjects is a bit of a risk. I hadn't counted them all up. I didn't realise there were quite so many."
She started sixth form with five subjects, but decided to pick extras during the two years.
Libera Zi-Zai Assini
She will be going to Oxford to study philosophy, politics and economics.
Colchester Sixth Form College is celebrating a 98 per cent pass rate, with almost 50 per cent of grades A* to B.
Principal Ian MacNaughton said: "Students achieved outstanding results in this summer's examination series.
"Levels of achievement are excellent and above national average levels."
Thurstable School had a pass rate of 99 per cent, with 78 per cent A* to C – an improvement on last year.
Headteacher Miles Bacon said: "This is a terrific set of results and was hard earned by our students and staff. They have made all of us at Thurstable very proud."
Colne Community College also had an 100 per cent pass rate in ALevels, BTECs and vocational subjects.
Executive Principal Nardeep Sharma said "I am delighted all the Colne VI Form College students' and teachers' hard work has culminated in a successful group of results.
"The VI Form College is growing and these results reflect the hard work of students and the skill of our teachers in successfully preparing them for A-Levels and BTEC alike. Congratulations to all involved".
See tomorrow's Gazette for a six-page special on results day including interviews with students from schools across the town.

"This is our land. A land of peace and of plenty. A land of harmony and hope. This is our land. Oceania. These are our people. The workers, the strivers, the builders. These are our people. The builders of our world, struggling, fighting, bleeding, dying. On the streets of our cities and on the far-flung battlefields. Fighting against the mutilation of our hopes and dreams. Who are they?" -- "1984," George Orwell
"They" just want to get to know you.
"They" have been around since the day you were born, watching your progress and taking extensive notes about things you like and don't like.
"They" have many faces that have changed over the decades, but their mission is still to document your life. "They" aren't doing that to write your biography and make it a best seller. Actually, "they" jealously guard whatever they find out about you, because you are a cash cow.
The statistics change over the years as you grow older. "They" have the option of selling your likes and dislikes to the highest bidder or keeping that information stored in their vast data banks for other uses.
By now, you may have guessed who "they" are. Marketers, advertisers, retailers, pollsters, mobile phone companies, social media like Facebook, Path, and Twitter, Internet investors, and other services that depend upon the ability to personalize for profit.
"They" really want to get to know you without being too overt. That's not always possible, however. Recent revelations that Google Inc., Twitter and other popular Internet companies have been taking liberties with customer data are only the tip of the iceberg.
Privacy advocates and lawmakers are critical of these companies, but nothing ever gets done about them. The companies involved quickly apologize and say they were only doing it to help their customers, and their intentions were pure as the driven snow. Or something like that in lawyer talk.
When you have business models that depend on increasing their ability to target a marketing pitch to an individual, your privacy takes a back seat. Their intentions are pure all right: to make money.
Millions of times each day, the right to advertise to a specific user is auctioned off in a fraction of a second by computers talking to one another. The Wall Street Journal recently reported that Google was tweaking ads on Apple's Safari Web browser to install tracking cookies.
Here's what happens: A company over-reaches, gets caught, and promises to do better. If their promises are not enough to reassure a greater-than-usual display of outrage and public demands for new legislation, then the industry will counter with a new plan for self-regulation.
This self-regulation usually means something like publishing privacy policies that users seldom read. In other words, "they" have the game down. "They" invented the game. "They" have evolved with modern technology, but their mission remains pure -- to learn all they can about you.
Facebook and Google both agreed to 20 years of privacy audits by the Federal Trade Commission after they were caught using customer information that had been considered private. Don't expect much action from these audits, however, when there are few restrictions on data collection.
I'm sorry to report that privacy advocates say they do not expect big changes any time soon. "Trying to pass a bill through Congress that's actually going to safeguard user records, especially when you've got huge advertiser lobbies trying to defang that law, is an incredible challenge," said Rainey Reitman, activism director with the Electronic Frontier Foundation, in an interview with Reuters on Feb. 19.
Internet companies have faced little punishment for pushing privacy boundaries. Those boundaries are more extensive than most consumers understand. Practically every keystroke you make, each visit to a website, generates new information about your interests.
For people who already have privacy concerns with laws like the Patriot Act, this is just another example of how they're monitored by Big Brother. A Big Brother with many faces.
As It Stands, from the feds to Facebook, they all just want to get to know you.

Did you know?
Spain lifted the FIFA World Cup™ for the first time after their win against the Netherlands in the final of the 2010 tournament in Soweto.
National Stadium in Soweto, which was known as "Soccer City" during the 2010 FIFA World CupTM, is available for tours. Because of massive demand, however, you will need to book ahead to ensure your trip around the famous sporting venue.
Tours, which last up to 90 minutes, are available seven days a week, with four tours on each weekday, and two tours on Saturdays and Sundays. During the tour, guests will visit the exclusive VIP suites, change rooms, warm-up areas, players' tunnel, the pitch, and upper sections of the stands.
With 94 000 seats, the vivid orange National Stadium, which is shaped like a traditional African pot − a calabash − is the largest stadium in Africa and one of the largest in the world, in capacity.
Because it staged the opening and closing ceremonies for the 2010 FIFA World CupTM, National Stadium is an iconic sporting landmark known to billions of people around the world.
The stadium hosted the final of the 2010 FIFA World CupTM, in which Spain beat the Netherlands to claim its first title. National Stadium also hosted the controversial quarter-final between Ghana and Uruguay, the Round of 16 match between Argentina and Mexico, as well as 6 group matches.
During the first World Cup match to be played on African soil, Siphiwe Tshabalala scored an outstanding goal, helping South Africa claim a surprise draw with highly-ranked Mexico.
National Stadium also serves as a rugby venue and was where Springbok captain, John Smit, played his 100th international match.
Sports fans who visit Gauteng province should take the time to explore this structure. For those who didn't get the chance to be in South Africa during the 2010 FIFA World CupTM, a tour of National Stadium will bring back memories of the epic matches they watched on television.

Scoregasm! Looking for some competition.
I figure with the new Indie Royale including Scoregasm there will be many more players, and on Steam to boot. While I fear I will no longer be able to work my way back up to my meager place in the top 100 of the leaderboards, I figure this is a good chance to get some people together and start some competition, which should be enormous fun and result in productivity killing sessions of play.
My Steam name is currently ".rainbow crash", alternatively you may be able to find me under "iconstyle" as well if that does not work.

Prevention Palooza!
I am so excited about my next trip! I hope many of you will be joining me in Los Angeles for the National Sexual Assault Conference (NSAC), August 28-30!
The NSVRC is proud to sponsor a track of NSAC workshops focused specifically on the prevention of sexual violence. We worked closely with this year's conference host, the California Coalition Against Sexual Assault (CALCASA), to review and select the workshops from this year's plethora of prevention proposals (say that three times fast!). We had over 100 to choose from, and although it was difficult, we narrowed it down to 23 dynamic workshops. Special thanks to all of our partners at state coalitions, departments of health, local programs, and the CDC for helping us review each proposal.
We've got workshops on bystander engagement, effective messaging, reaching traditionally underserved communities, youth-led programs, media literacy, mobilizing communities, evaluating prevention, engaging men and boys…the list goes on and on. Our hope this year is that those who are seeking prevention-specific workshops will have several options to choose from in each time slot. I know I will have a hard time choosing which workshops to attend – I'd love to be in about 10 places at once for this conference.
Check out this podcast I recorded with CALCASA/PreventConnect's David Lee about this year's prevention track. And if you are at the conference, stop by the NSVRC exhibit table and let us know how you liked the workshops (we'll have lots of cool swag too!).
Can't make it to NSAC? Follow along on Twitter…we'll be using the hashtag #NSAC2013.

This meal is my modified cheap take on Buffalo wings. I keep a variety of hot sauces for specific purposes. I find that Trappey's Louisiana hot sauce is my favorite for stand alone chicken.
Even so, I prepped these leg drums (so much cheaper than wing drumettes), with seasoned salt and plenty of cayenne.
Once charred and scorched, I tossed and drenched them with the Trappey's . Served them with cucumber-dill-sour cream salad for that nice cooling relief. Goes together so well!

I thought up this trade today.. I think it's worth it for us to pull the trigger.. And I talked to one Toronto fan and he seemed to be in favor of it as well.
It works salary wise..
I would think Kapono would be a lot like Dun. Except Kapono would shoot even more threes because he's just amazing at it.
EDIT: proposed trade: Ford Kapono and Rasho FOR Dun Daniels and Tinsley.

VeriSign is in many ways synonymous with managing the Web, thanks to its handling of key DNS root servers and of name resolution for .com, .net, and other domains. In recent years, it's had both strong ups and strong downs.
On the up side, VeriSign has aggressively pushed PKI, SSL/TLS, EV, and digital certificates, making these authenticated security approaches commonplace. And VeriSign has spent millions of dollars building out and protecting the Internet's massive DNS infrastructure, even though its contract with the DNS's governing body required that VeriSign spend just a fraction of that amount. Although VeriSign's extra investment was a business decision meant to keep its lead as DNS infrastructure manager, the result for Internet users is still a better DNS infrastructure than was required.
On the downside, in the 2005-2007 period, the company angered many users by adding new services to the Internet, such as domain waitlisting, and by raising registration fees. It garnered significant ill will when its Network Solutions domain registration unit (later sold) began redirecting misspelled URLs to ads, causing an uproar among users. When VeriSign met resistance over such actions from ICANN, the global steward of Web domains, it sued the organization. Although that suit was resolved after VeriSign agreed to new ICANN procedures, users and elected officials remained nervous about VeriSign's potential actions. In 2007, the company ran afoul of federal regulators, resulting in its CFO's resignation and a restatement of earnings.
During this same period of ups and downs, VeriSign entered several new lines of business, such as Wi-Fi roaming services, RFID contract resolution (to translate an RFID tag's electronic number to a product's common name), andone-time-use security credentials. More recently, VeriSign has been part of a consortium promoting the OpenID federated certificate standard.
Today, VeriSign is refocused on its Internet roots, after having dropped some of its new ventures, to focus on DNS management. The company processes about 48 billion name resolution requests per day across 60 different locations, peaking at 700,000 queries a second. It is a major provider of PKI technologies and services, including digital certificate products, managed security services, and IT consulting services.
InfoWorld interviewed CTO Ken Silva on the company's current and past challenges. Silva manages VeriSign's technical operations, which handle much of the world's DNS traffic and cryptographically protect millions of Web sites. Before joining VeriSign, Silva spent 10 years with the National Security Agency (NSA). Roger asked about VeriSign's current status and future plans. Here are some excerpts from that interview:
Q: In the first part of this decade, the global DNS infrastructure came under a few big denial-of-service attacks that caused service disruptions, but in the last few years, we haven't seen any significant service outages. How well have we done in making DNS resistant to DoS attacks?
A: VeriSign services have never completely been taken out from a DoS attack because of our distributed nature. We do get DDoS [distributed DoS] attacks, and they are getting bigger, and bigger, and bigger, but they haven't affected us that greatly. In February 2006, we launched our Project Titan initiative, in response to our growing legitimate services and to handle DDoS attacks in the multiple tens of gigabytes. Our goal was to fortify the infrastructure to over 10 times the predicted infrastructure needed. Project Titan will increase bandwidth 10,000 times the 2000 levels by 2010. It's already at 1,000 times the size today [as compared to the 2000 levels], and will be another 10 times today's level in the next two years. It will be able to handle 4 trillion queries a day.
Q: Why are DNSSec and any of the other "advanced" DNS security proposals slow to gain more widespread acceptance?
A: These are complicated technologies, and you have to agree to get the entire world to agree on the standard, what makes up the standard, and do it at the same time. That alone makes it difficult.
Q: Users have a tendency to ignore or bypass digital certificate errors, undermining the whole system of trust. What can be done to improve the user's security experience in light of that fact? What are browser vendors missing?
A: VeriSign has been working closely with browser vendors to improve the user experiences, but there isn't enough real estate in the browser to do it perfectly. But many vendors, especially Microsoft, are doing innovative things like Extended Validation (EV) certificates. When a user browses to an EV-protected Web site, an EV-enabled browser [such as Microsoft Internet Explorer 7, Mozilla Firefox 2, and Opera 9.5] will turn the address bar green, identifying that the site as trusted using the strongest assurance we can offer today. Users can trust EV certificates. It is proven that sites that use EV certificates have much lower abandonment rates than sites without EV. For example, Overstock.com found users were abandoning their shopping cart at the point at which they were supposed to put in their credit card information … at the moment they really needed to trust the vendor. Overstock.com start using EV certificates and saw a 16,000 times return on investment.
Q: Critics say that Extended Validation is really asking consumers to pay more for the trust assurance that they were originally promised in normal Class 3 Web site certificates. How do you respond?
A: EV gives the certification authority vendor more time to do the proper validation. With EV, we do a complete background investigation, including a financial check, articles of incorporation, and verifying their identity.
Q: But that's included with the normal Class 3 certs. What's different?
A: We ensure the subject is who they say they are and that they own the domain.
Q: Again, VeriSign does this with Class 3 certificates, so what's different?
A: VeriSign has always done a high-quality assurance job, but more time to conduct the background investigation means improved security for everyone. Plus, prior to EV, each CA [certification authority] could determine what processes were performed to provide assurance. A user could not be assured about whether a CA vendor did the same high-quality checks without reading the assurance statements. EV defines what assurance processes must be accomplished prior to the issuance of an EV certificate. An EV certificate means consistent, standard assurances across CA vendors.
Q: How will Web services, SaaS (software as a service), and cloud computing affect VeriSign and DNS over the next 10 years?
A: Any new Web functions, like Web 2.0, will impact us. Today, it's normal for a single Web site page to generate 20 DNS queries. [Our challenge is] not only scaling, but making sure that services are always reliable, especially with services such as TV and telephony coming over the Internet. With some new services, we have created a game-changer. Our VeriSign Identity Protection Services generate a single token or one-time password on any device the customer or vendor desires (such as a cell phone or credit card). It can be used across multiple sites and vendors. You can use that one token to do a lot more in your life than you previously could using older technologies.
In the future, you might be able to say something similar to the LifeLock CEO on TV [who promotes his identity protection service by reading out his Social Security number] and say, "My real password is …" and not minimize your security. The authentication, identity, and protection will be in the cloud. Ask yourself: Would we use bank cards as much as we do today if they only worked at your bank? No, banks created the ATM network to allow users to shop and spend nationwide and globally. We've essentially done the same thing in the online world. We allow one token or password to be used in multiple places. It's like an ATM network for the online world. Visit our new Personal Identity Portal to see the beta. It's very cool.
Q: A few years ago, VeriSign dropped Network Solutions to pick up the RFID contract resolution work. It was predicted that the RFID resolution traffic would be orders of magnitude bigger than DNS. How has that project scaled over the last few years? Is it bigger than DNS yet?
A: No, RFID is still fairly new and hasn't surpassed DNS traffic levels yet. We've seen a recent uptick in the garment industry. They use it to track inventories and to help keep inventories low. We expect the RFID work to grow, but we want to focus on our core services of DNS, SSL certificates, and identity and authentication services.

"I usually analysis aldehydes by using UPLC, so I frequently install the VanGuard column. The result of peak is very sharp whenever I use new column, and when I analysis just 30 samples the column is out of order. So I have to buy new one to analysis the sample. It is really not practical product for me!!!!!"
Manufacturer's Response"The VanGuard needs to be replaced after 30 injections, so from your review it appears the VanGuard is working as intended. It is a replaceable item to protect the column. If it fouls after 30 injections you may be injecting some nasty samples. If you are replacing the ACQUITY column after 30 injections the VanGuard is not working correctly, if that is the case please contact us so we can trouble shoot further."
Guard columns are typically used in applications where complex, unpredictable and demanding samples are analyzed. VanGuard Pre-Columns are the first guard columns specifically designed for routine use at pressures up to 15,000 psi (1,000 bar). The first VanGuard Pre-Columns for UPLC separations will be available with 1.7 µm ACQUITY UPLC BEH C18 chemistry. Additional VanGuard Pre-Columns will be released as they become available.

What I Drank Last Week (May 12-18)
Since I promised a post a week, I thought sharing what I'm drinking each week would be a good way to show you what I enjoy in between the bigger posts I'm working on. I'll try to go into a bit more detail on any wines I particularly enjoyed but also just brush over my week in general.
Dark Horse Red Blend
I started off the week by testing out a sample that I had received. I could see this wine being a good choice for anyone who wants a flavorful red wine that also feels like a good everyday drinking wine. While I like to spoil myself with my wine selections sometimes, I also don't always want to open the most expensive bottles so it's nice to keep some more affordable choices on hand. The wine had a deep berry flavor without being overpowering. However, I would only recommend it to someone who is a fan of big reds.
Part of the reason I also chose this wine was because I thought the name was fun. I spent a good part of the week having Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog stuck in my head and found the name Dark Horse to be very tempting. One of the minor characters in the musical is named Bad Horse and so drinking a wine with a similar name seemed like a fun choice. In fact, after writing about this wine and finding the above links, I have the songs stuck in my head again and will probably spend the rest of the day listening to the musical on repeat.
Cost: Unknown but other Dark Horse wines have gone for $8-10
2010 Imagery Sangiovese
I have a bit kamagra plus of a soft spot in my heart for Imagery wine. A good friend works there so I make frequent trips to the winery and am always shown a great time. So when I had a couple of friends over to watch the How I Met Your Mother season finale and they requested a light red – I knew opening the Imagery 2010 Sangiovese would be a good choice. True to form, the wine was light but flavorful. I think it could have used a little more time in the bottle, which, admittedly, I had been told. Next year I will remember to hold onto it a little bit longer.
While we are on Imagery, there is something else that I love about their wine (which all of my friends have heard me gush about too many times). As someone who dabbles in art, I have a huge appreciation for the Imagery labels. Imagery allows artists to submit artwork for consideration for their label. The only rule is that the Parthenon has to appear somewhere in the piece. This allows for the unique combination of each wine having a uniquely beautiful and artistic label, but with the fun touch of trying to find the hidden Parthenon. Every time I open a bottle, I spend a few minutes appreciating the artwork and looking for the Parthenon. It's a fun touch.
Cost: $39
2009 Enkidu Humbaba
By the time Friday rolled around, I was looking forward to a more low key evening. I had heard it was Sauvignon Blanc day so I made sure to stick one in the fridge before going shopping with a friend for a couple of hours. However, when I got home to try it, I didn't love it. I decided after a long week, I deserved to open something I knew I would like… and the Humbaba had been staring at me from the wine rack for long enough.
The Enkidu Humbaba had been purchased a few months earlier at the 8th Street Winery tasting event. It was the first place we stopped and the first wine I tried. Although my group scolded me for tasting out of order, I had a feeling about this wine and I was right. After trying the other Enkidu wines, I was still smitten with the Humbaba and knew I had to have a bottle. While I would have normally loved to hold onto it for a special occasion, I also realized that sometimes just letting yourself enjoy something you love is occasion enough.
The wine itself is a very light Syrah (Syrah (55%), Petite Sirah (42%), and Marsanne/Roussanne/Grenache Blanc (3%)) blend. I wanted something that would provide a good contrast to the Sauvignon Blanc from earlier without being too bold. The Humbaba ended up being a perfect compromise. The wine is very gentle on the tip of the tongue with the flavors changing throughout the mouth making it a very complex wine to taste. I had half of the bottle leftover on Saturday and it held up very nicely the second day as well. I definitely want to track down a couple more bottles to see how the flavor develops over time.
Cost: $28
Everything Else
I'm still getting used to what this new role means for me in terms of everyday drinking and so I've still yet to figure out a polite way to store my tasting notes when out to dinner or out with friends. I'm a little sad that I didn't do that last week when I was out to dinner as I had the privilege to try my very first Châteauneuf-du-Pape. I did stop and think enough about getting a picture for posterity but didn't capture any more details than that.
I'm looking forward to sharing this week's wine adventures with you! My mom will be in town and I always love sharing new wines with her. My mom is a classic Chardonnay drinker and a fan of wines of the $2 variety so I really enjoy showing her new things. My favorite line from her last visit: "I love drinking your wine because I don't get hangovers." Are there any suggestions for my mother-daughter weekend?

Cable Car Background
Cable cars were invented by Andrew Smith Hallidie here in San Francisco in 1873. Hallidie's cable car system was based on early mining conveyance systems and dominated the city's transit scene for more than 30 years. Hallidie's cable car system would survive the great San Francisco earthquake and fires of 1906, soldier on through two World Wars and outlast political attempts to remove the cars from city steets in the late 1940s and 1950s to become the worldwide symbol of San Francisco that it is today.
Andrew Smith Hallidie tested the first cable car at 4 o'clock in the morning, August 2, 1873, on San Francisco's Clay Street. His idea for a steam engine-powered, cable driven rail system was conceived in 1869, after witnessing horses being whipped while they struggled on the wet cobblestones to pull a horsecar up Jackson Street.
Hallidie's father was an inventor who had a patent in Great Britain for "wire rope" cable. Hallidie immigrated to the U.S. in 1852 during the Gold Rush. He began using cable in a system he had developed to haul ore from mines and in building suspension bridges.
Hallidie entered into a partnership to form the Clay Street Hill Railroad, which began construction of a cable line on Clay Street in May of 1873. The contract to operate on city streets stated the line must be operational by August 1. It was launched on the August 2. Even though they were a day late the cable car trials received great approval. Clay Street Hill Railroad began public service on September 1, 1873. It was a tremendous success.
Clay Street Hill Railroad was the sole San Francisco cable car company for four years. A former horsecar company, Sutter Street Railroad, developed its own version of Hallidie's patented system and began cable service in 1877, followed by California Street Cable Railroad (1878), Geary Street, Park & Ocean Railroad (1880), Presidio & Ferries Railroad (1882), Market Street Cable Railway (1883), Ferries & Cliff House Railway (1888), and Omnibus Railroad & Cable Company (1889).
All totaled, San Francisco companies had laid down 53 miles of track stretching from the Ferry Building to the Presidio, to Golden Gate Park, to the Castro, and to the Mission.
April 18, 1906, the great San Francisco earthquake and the fires that raged out of control in its aftermath devastated the city.
By this time the electric streetcar, perfected in1888 by Frank Sprague, had become the vehicle of choice for city transit. It only required half the investment to build and maintain, could reach more areas and was quicker. The cable cars were still able to traverse the steep hills better, so some of the lines were rebuilt. However, as the streetcars improved, even those lines were in jeopardy.
By 1947, the lower operational costs of buses prompted Mayor Roger Lapham to declare, "the city should get rid of all cable car lines as soon as possible."
In response, Friedel Klussmann founded the Citizens' Committee to Save the Cable Cars. The committee began a public campaign showing that the cable cars' value to San Francisco was far greater than their operational cost. They succeeded in placing an amendment on the November ballot, Measure 10.
Newspapers picked up the story and public support grew quickly. Life magazine did a photo spread on gripmen. Celebrities rallied for the cable cars; business owners realized that tourists didn't come to San Francisco to ride the buses.
Measure 10 passed in a landslide victory and the city of San Francisco had rallied to save the Powell Street cable car system.
Today, San Francisco's cable cars are one of two National Historic Streetcar Landmarks in operation (New Orleans' St. Charles streetcar line is the other), and both the continued operation and minimum level of service of our cable cars are locked into San Francisco's City Charter.
Today, there are two types of cable cars in regular service. Though they differ in appearance, their operation is almost identical.
The California Street Cable Car Line uses twelve larger, maroon cable cars which have an open seating section at each end and a closed section in the middle. These cars can be operated from either end, and turn around by means of a simple switch at the end of the line.
The two Powell Street lines (Powell-Hyde & Powell-Mason) use smaller cable cars, operable from only one end and thus require turntables to reverse direction at the ends of the line. There are 28 Powell cars kept on the roster at any given time. Several sport historic liveries recapturing the look of the cars at various points in the twelve-decade history of the service.
Additionally, there are unique cable cars from now-vanished lines which Market Street Railway and the Cable Car Museum are working to return to service in the future.

What engineered systems contribute to a company and its customers varies by industry—from spotting and taking advantage of sales trends in retail and bringing competitive products to market more quickly in financial services to cutting batch-processing time in chemicals and increasing on-time delivery in consumer goods. For one agricultural company, engineered systems are helping to feed the planet.
Monsanto Company is a leading global provider of agricultural products that improve farm productivity and food quality. The company's charter is to improve farmers' lives by helping them produce more from their land while conserving natural resources. Through innovative breeding and biotechnology techniques, Monsanto produces seeds that—among other things—help farmers to reduce agricultural inputs such as pesticides and improve crop yields.
"September to November is a critical time frame for us," says Wendy Poulsen, R&D IT strategy and operations lead at Monsanto. "We gather a tremendous amount of information from the field that must be analyzed and turned back around to breeders very quickly so they can determine which seeds to ship to winter nurseries. The speed by which that analysis can be done is extremely critical to us, but it has become increasingly challenging over time, as more information is available from which to make decisions."
In addition to greater data processing speed, Monsanto's R&D team needed more data storage capacity.
"When we plan for the harvest season, we look at what we expect to see and then we plan for two or three times that load on our information systems," explains Todd Eyrick, business alignment and strategy lead in Monsanto's Global Infrastructure organization. "There are multiple factors, such as weather, over which we have no control that can cause our database management systems to be under much greater load than we would have otherwise planned for."
To satisfy its need for greater speed, capacity, and throughput, at the end of 2010 Monsanto purchased three full-rack Oracle Exadata Database Machines. These engineered systems are now divided into a production environment, a preproduction environment, and a development/testing environment.
In July 2011, Monsanto consolidated four major R&D databases and 75 percent of its data to the Oracle Exadata platform. During the next phase of the project, wrapping up in early 2012, Monsanto will migrate 18 smaller databases that represent the remaining 25 percent of the data.
Monsanto used Oracle Consulting to supplement its internal resources during the implementation, and the company is currently engaged with Oracle Consulting Managed Services to support the Oracle Exadata environment. "We faced a very tight timeline to get this new database environment up in time for harvest," says Poulsen. "Oracle partnered with us and brought in the right people when issues arose, which reduced the implementation risks throughout the project. The responsiveness Oracle demonstrated showed they cared about our business and was one of the key reasons for our success."
The Oracle engineered systems have now been running in production during one complete harvest cycle. "We definitely have experienced a very smooth, highly available system during the past several months," says Eyrick.
Faster Growth Around the World
One of Monsanto's goals when it adopted Oracle Exadata was to minimize the turnaround time for making the raw field data available to researchers anywhere in the world. According to Poulsen, some of Monsanto's researchers used to wait as long as 36 hours for the results from field experiments. Now data that arrives by 6 p.m. at Monsanto's U.S. data center is available for researchers in Europe at the start of their next workday. "We've cut the turnaround time in half," she notes.
Postharvest data analysis helps researchers determine which products to advance. Thanks to the increased speed of SQL queries on the Oracle Exadata platform, researchers can now run multiple queries with different data sets, which allows them to conduct more-thorough analyses and make better decisions. Tests on Monsanto's Oracle Exadata platform revealed significant performance gains for 90 to 95 percent of SQL queries.
In working with Monsanto to understand its business process and find opportunities to speed the breeding harvest cycle, Oracle recommended that Monsanto use Oracle Coherence to speed up data-processing performance by caching frequently used data. Oracle Coherence is an in-memory distributed data grid solution for clustered applications and application servers—and an important addition to Monsanto's Oracle WebLogic Server environment.
"Oracle took the time to understand our business process so they could recommend how we can streamline the database activities," says Eyrick. "They continually asked, 'What else can we bring to the table that will help Monsanto speed up this harvest process?'"
One key benefit of using the Oracle Exadata system is its inherent redundancy, which permits administrators to manage, patch, and upgrade Oracle Exadata components without incurring an outage. "As our business becomes more global, we can't afford even brief outages," says Poulsen. "The built-in redundancy within Oracle Exadata has insulated users, so if there is an issue, it has no impact on the harvest. Routine system administration is a lot easier as well, because the Oracle Exadata system integrates the storage platform with the database environment."
Storing the Grain
While improving its information capacity and performance with Oracle Exadata, Monsanto has also been improving its disaster recovery and backup capabilities by implementing Oracle's Sun ZFS Storage Appliance. Because of the large amount of information stored, the company realized that the overall volume of data would make it difficult to perform complete backup and recovery operations in a reasonable time frame. Eyrick and his team deployed the Sun ZFS Storage Appliance to create a more reliable hot-backup environment that permits system administrators to restore data from disk very rapidly.
Next Season
When asked for words of wisdom to share with other companies considering Oracle engineered system implementations, Eyrick doesn't mince words.
"Having an integrated, single-vendor solution was very appealing to us," says Eyrick. "The Oracle Exadata systems contain Oracle hardware, Oracle software, and Oracle database technology, all integrated into a cohesive system. Working with a single vendor has made it a lot easier to resolve issues. There's no question about responsibility or ownership if something goes wrong."
Beyond the technology and support, getting the right people involved in deploying Oracle engineered systems is also key.
"Having Oracle implement its engineered systems and support them through the first harvest has worked out exceedingly well," Eyrick concludes. "Whether or not you plan to ultimately support this type of environment internally, it's a great idea to engage Oracle to get started. Their consultants have a direct line to all the right technical resources, and they can turn things around very quickly if you run into problems."

ROYAL Wootton Bassett Light Operatic Society has won a South West District achievement award.
The group was presented with the award by the vice president of the National Operatic and Drama Association at a ceremony in St Mellion, Cornwall, over the weekend in recognition of the success of last year's pantomime, Alice in Pantoland.
It was also given the award in recognition of the society's continual rise in standards over the past five years.
Delighted WBLOS chairman Mike Davies, 35, said: "It's really nice to get the recognition "We put a lot of voluntary hours – I don't want to think about how many hours – into WBLOS so it's nice to get the recognition.
"At the end of the day we have our productions in the Memorial Hall, which is essentially just a stage in a village hall.
"It'll never be like the Wyvern but we really try to make use of the space and push the boundaries as far as we can with lighting.
"I think we've also started having more children in our productions which is where we have improved.
"We've done Oliver and Annie and next year we are going to do the Sound of Music. There's always people coming along and rejuvenating it as well."
This year's pantomime, Peter Pan, also won considerable praise from those who watched the show, including representatives from NODA.
Graeme Savage, 37, said: "Peter Pan is a difficult piece to turn into a traditional panto, with the original story's dark moments, and a long introduction to the characters in the nursery.
"The performances were good across the board, with all the actors, including the children, speaking clearly and putting a lot of energy into the musical numbers.
"It was lovely to see a company that has worked so hard to improve over the past few years being able to sustain the standards which they have reached."
Theatre-lovers can now book to see WBLOS' latest production, Oklahoma, which will be shown at the Memorial Hall in the town from April 9 to 12.
The show stars Mike Davies as Curly and Stuart Dark as Jud, Tabby Dawson as Laurey, Sheila Dunn as Aunt Eller, Andy Johnson as Will Parker and Emily Baker as Ado Annie.
Tickets cost £9.50 for adults and £8 for conceessions and are available from the Post Office from March 17.

A Letter from Our Director: Dear Members, PeDRA Gets It.
Amidst a growing sea of scientific work focused on skin disorders in adults, there is only a limited amount focused on children. In 2012, a group of pediatric dermatologists founded PeDRA, the Pediatric Dermatology Research Alliance, in hopes to better treat and cure dermatologic diseases in infants, children and adolescents. Their mission is to foster collaborative clinical, translational, and basic science research. This past weekend, Executive Director Jean Pickford, attended the very first annual PeDRA (Pediatric Dermatology Research Alliance) conference, and is happy to report that there is "no stopping" this dedicated team of doctors, when it comes to finding a cure for ichthyosis. Today, she'd like to share her experience with those whom this remarkable new alliance will mostly affect; our members.
October 23, 2013
Some days in life are predictable. And then, there are the days that greet you with such utter amazement, no matter how you describe it, you will never do it justice. In fact, I happened to have just that type of day last weekend in Chicago at the PeDRA (Pediatric Dermatology Research Alliance) conference. So please allow me to do my best job at sharing the highlights from that meeting. As you read the words, I only hope you can feel even a twinge of the powerful energy I experienced.
Despite missing my early morning flight to Chicago due to another commuter's rush-hour accident on the highway, I managed to still arrive at the 1st Annual PeDRA Conference, albeit late. The conference was attended by 80 pediatric dermatologists and six patient advocacy groups. The goal of this meeting was to gather the top leaders in pediatric dermatology research in one room to share, develop, and discuss new and innovative research to treat skin disorders. At the top of their list is, gratefully, ichthyosis.
Because of ichthyosis' rarity, I have become accustomed to attending these types of meetings, and having other more prevalent skin disorders in the forefront. I am usually in the "back of the house" as ichthyosis is typically not a hot topic on the agenda. However, at this meeting, I happily climbed over the rows, and took my place in the front row, as ichthyosis was in fact, in the limelight. Investigators from around the country presented innovative ideas, current research projects, proposed grants, and novel approaches throughout the three-day conference. After each presentation, one thing became very clear – I knew that FIRST was part of something remarkable.
One of the biggest highlights throughout all these discussions was actually feeling the passion of these physician/scientists, as they presented and discussed their work. They are fueled by curiosity; relentless in their research efforts; and simply put – they get it. They understand how important it is to find better treatments and cures —and they really care. They also understand what an important role FIRST plays in their research. Because we have access to patients and a pulse on the most pressing areas of concern, we complement their work in an immeasurable way. It was clearly evident at this meeting that FIRST and the other patient advocacy groups were held in the highest regard.
So what was accomplished? Four major areas of focus were determined, with multiple physician/scientists signing on to various leadership roles. Those projects included:
• Neonatal Premature Skin – One group was organized to address the area of neonatal premature skin. This neonatal skin group will work together with neonatologists to develop and test scientifically based barrier formulations aimed both at improving barrier function and promoting its maturation.
• Observational Study – A second project was launched to begin a multicenter cooperative prospective observational study, enrolling infants who will receive a genetic diagnosis and be followed on a monthly basis. The goal is to help physicians to better understand who is at risk for complications and allow the development of protocols to better anticipate and manage these complications.
• NIH Rare Disease Clinical Research Consortia – A third project focused on a grant that will be submitted to the NIH Rare Diseases Clinical Research Consortia this year. The grant focuses on a multicenter collaborative network that will enroll patients with rare ichthyoses and perform coordinated longitudinal (over the course of time) and pilot (brand new) studies. It will also focus on defining clinical relevant biomarkers (changes found in skin or blood, such as in levels of a specific protein, that mark disease activity) and creating a basis for clinical trials leading to cures.
• Inflammatory Ichthyosis – The final project addresses inflammatory ichthyosis and its correlation to atopic dermatitis (eczema) and shared biomarkers that drive inflammation and itching.
PeDRA plans to meet as a full group each year, and I for one, will not miss a moment (and yes, I'm already planning to leave an extra hour early for the airport!). I am very impressed and excited to see how the work develops from this dedicated group of game-changers for ichthyosis. I am proud and privileged to be a part of their efforts.
You can look forward to hearing updates and information from FIRST regarding the progress of PeDRA and of these projects in the future.
Let's continue to educate, inspire, and connect,

Search through millions of records to find out more.
1926 — Sokolow Podlaski, Poland
The youngest of seven children, Moishe was raised in a Yiddish-speaking, religious Jewish home in Sokolow Podlaski, a manufacturing town in central Poland with a large Jewish population of some 5,000. Moishe's parents ran a grain business. Moishe attended a Jewish school and began public school in Sokolow Podlaski in 1933.
1933-39: Summer vacation had just finished and 13-year-old Moishe was about to begin another year at elementary school when the Germans invaded Poland on September 1, 1939. German aircraft bombed Sokolow Podlaski's market and other civilian targets before German troops entered the town on September 20. Three days later, they set fire to the main synagogue. Later, the Germans confiscated the family's grain business.
1940-42: Over the next two years, the Germans imposed restrictions on the Jews, eventually ordering them to wear an identifying Jewish star on their clothing. On September 28, 1941, the Germans set up a ghetto and concentrated all of the town's Jews there. About a year later, on the most solemn holiday of the Jewish religion, the Day of Atonement, the Germans began to round up the people in the ghetto. Those who resisted or tried to hide were shot. Moishe, his mother andsister were herded onto the boxcar of a train.
On September 22, 1942, Moishe and his family were deported to the Treblinka extermination camp. He was gassed there shortly after arriving. He was 16 years old.
Moishe Felman was one of the brothers of Mendel Feldman, who left Sokolow Podlaski after the German occupation of the town and ran east in the Soviet Union during the war. Mendel's mother and other brothers, Moishe and Fischel refused to leave and were ultimately murdered at Treblnka. Mendel immigrated to the U.S. in 1949. He is survived by 2 sons, Boris and Fred, and a daughter, Charlotte, who live in Palo Alto, California, Potomac, Maryland, and Kensington, New Hampshire.
Fred, I am so sorry this happened to your family! My thoughts and prayers will always be with you!

Fluorouracil (5-FU) is an anticancer
medicine that works by slowing or stopping cell growth. The medicine
interferes with the ability of abnormal cells to grow on the skin's top
5-FU is usually applied once or twice daily for several
weeks. It works by causing a painful irritation in
actinic keratosis or a skin cancer. Successful
treatment results in the specific areas of diseased skin becoming inflamed and
crusting as the abnormal cells die.
5-FU cream or solution is used to
treat actinic keratosis and
basal cell carcinomas that are superficial (only in the top
layer of skin). It can also be used to treat some
squamous cell carcinomas in the eye.1
This medicine works well for treating superficial actinic keratosis.2 If you have superficial basal cell carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma in situ and surgery is not possible, your doctor may suggest treatment with 5-FU cream.
Studies show a clearance rate of 90% when 5-FU cream is used to treat superficial basal cell carcinoma and 27% to 85% when this cream is used to treat squamous cell carcinoma in situ.3 Treatment with 5-FU does not usually cause scarring.
All medicines have side effects. But many people don't feel the side effects, or they are able to deal with them. Ask your pharmacist about the side effects of each medicine you take. Side effects are also listed in the information that comes with your medicine.
Here are some important things to think about:
Call 911 or other emergency services right away if you have:
Stop using this medicine and call your doctor right away if you have:
Common side effects of this medicine include:
See Drug Reference
for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all
Applying 5-FU on skin almost always causes pain and a burning feeling. This may make it hard to tell if you are having an allergic reaction to the medicine or if the medicine is working as expected.
Your skin may be sensitive to sunlight during your treatment with 5-FU. So you will need to protect your skin from the sun.
People treated with
5-FU will need to have regular follow-up visits with their doctors to make sure
the skin cancer is gone.
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. Taking medicine as your doctor suggests will improve your health and may prevent future problems. If you don't take your medicines properly, you may be putting your health (and perhaps your life) at risk.
There are many reasons why people have trouble taking their medicine. But in most cases, there is something you can do. For suggestions on how to work around common problems, see the topic Taking Medicines as Prescribed.
Do not use this medicine if you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant. If you need to use this medicine, talk to your doctor about how you can prevent pregnancy.
Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.

HOTSHOTS Snooker Club of Langley had to dig deep to get the better of Amblecote Institute A 3-2 and they hold a two point advantage going into the last two weeks of the Premier Division campaign.
It was a much needed win as their three closest rivals dropped only one frame between them. Roy Stokes, Dave Green and Milan Krstanovic, in the decider, just did enough to preserve their unbeaten home record while Ash Sidaway and Dave Oakes won two tight frames for Amblecote.
Brandhall Labour and West Midlands Police both swept to 5-0 victories to remain joint second, with Callum Downing and Gavin Sloan respectively holding on to the coveted "most wins" accolade with 16/18 each, although Gregg Reece, for Kingswinford RBL A, and Simon Dingley and Glyn Whitehouse for Moor Pool and Snooker B, made their opponents battle all of the way.
Fourth-placed Norton Social A built a 4-0 lead at home over Netherton Sports and Social thanks to Steve Mason, Rob Pitt, Adam Ness and Ashley Aston, but Richard Barnsley hit back for the visitors, a result which leaves Norton four points behind the leaders.
The consistency of Danny Rees has inspired Pockets SC B, who lifted themselves clear of the relegation scrap by taking all five frames on the tables of Moor Pool and Snooker A, a result which leaves their opponents as one of three teams, along with Moor P and S B and Netherton separated by only a single point, with one team due to go down.
In the First Division, Stourbridge Institute B came away from Wombourne with a 3-2 victory, which leaves them needing four more frames to make certain of the First Division Championship.
Jon Bate, Mark Hatton and Dean Banks all won with Stuart Taylor and Paul Tristram taking a frame each for the home side as they fight to keep out of the bottom two.
A run of only two wins in seven matches has seen Kinver Constitutional A's challenge falter but Ron Smith, with a 45 break, Jon Perry, Chris Randle and Arnie Tromans combined to surprise Amblecote Inst B 4-1, a win which enabled them to move back into second place, a point ahead of their opponents, who replied through Adam Coley, but a daunting nine points off the lead.
Moor Pool and Snooker C's form revival continued with a 4-1 success against Baggeridge Social, with Paul Jones recovering from 38 points adrift to beat Matt Whale on the black, and they occupy fourth place, three points further back, and now a point ahead of Kingswinford Cons A.
The Cons began in outstanding form on the tables of Amblecote RBL A, going 2-0 up through John Rees and Wayne Whitmore who had an excellent break of 75, beating the previous highest of 52. Rob Boylin and Brian Underhill won decisively to draw the Legion level, but Chris Jevons took the decider for Cons, his 18th win in 20 frames.
Kingswinford SC's eight win in 10 matches, a 4-1 victory at Kinver Const C, lifted them into sixth place, far removed from the foot of the table when that run began, while it was a mixed week for Kinver's B team, 4-1 winners against Amblecote RBL A in a match held over from the previous week, then losing 3-2 at Stourbridge Inst A, for whom Paul Garbett, who's lost only three times, won the decider.
Although some of the frames were very tight, Norton Social B won 5-0 on the tables of Kingswinford Cons C to lead the Second Division by six points and they need to win five more frames to make sure, mathematically, of the championship. Eighteen year olds, Luke Grosvenor and Joe Davies have contributed well, both with 14 wins in 18 matches.
Dibdale SC did well to win 3-2 at Stourbridge Old Edwardian Club thanks to Alan Woodbine, Laurence Binfield and Kyle Priest to hold on to second place but they have only one match left to play. Ed Davies and Chris Cowley won comfortably for Old Eds.
Two other teams battling for the runners-up spot, at the very least, won: Amblecote RBL B shrugged off the previous week's disappointment to win 4-1 at Kingswinford RBL B with Graham Holdnall having runs of 24 and 25 and Stourbridge Institute C won 3-2 away to the in-form Amblecote Inst D team. Nick Aston and Harry Jones put the visitors 2-0 ahead but Mark Daniels and Mark Robson levelled the match; Simon Tyler, with his 11th successive win, a run which began last October, won the decider for Stourbridge, who, like Amblecote RBL B, trail Dibdale by a point.
Amblecote Inst E, currently at the foot of the table, took two frames off their C team, through Louise Taylor and Anthony Harmon, but Mark Colbourne, Pat Willis and Roger McManus, stepping out of premature retirement, ensured the C team won 3-2.
The two Stourbridge teams won their way through to the Worcester inter-league semi-finals last weekend. The A team beat Evesham to gain revenge for a narrow defeat in last year's final while the B team accounted for Kidderminster.
Adam Ness and Neil Rollinson brought the A team back into the tie with good performances in the first leg away from home, then Steve Mason, Adam Ness and Ashley Aston all won decisively in the second leg at Norton Social.
At Kidderminster, Karl Ashmore's 34 clearance to pink, and Jason Hickman's 58 break off his only chance, restored the B team's fortunes after John Betton and Charles Newey began well for Kidderminster. Alan Hooper's fine performance helped establish a 104 point first leg lead. Callum Downing's 49 break settled any nerves and Chris Southall and Alan Hooper put the tie beyond doubt in the second leg at Brandhall Labour.

These are screen shots of Marion Cotillard in the movie La Vie en Rose that earned her an Oscar for Best Actress. And, hey, what do you know? She's completely nude. Like downtown nude. I think these shots not only celebrate the human spirit and fine art of cinema, they also prove that foreign films are wicked awesome. And not just because of the nudity. But because of their compelling story and characters – who eventually get nude and do it with all kinds of crazy angles. Viva la cinema!
NOTE: Pics are totally NSFW. Granted they're from an Oscar-winning movie, they'll probably get you Oscar-winning fired.
EDIT: Turns out these shots are from Marion's earlier film Les jolies choses. I'm not very good with foreign flicks. The last one I saw was Ernest Goes to Canada. Hey, Vern, it sucked.

That's a gray area really since the solids in the sap that you're reffering to both evaporate with the water, yet much of it is left behind as well. So your contention that it's not present isn't true but that it loses some potency is absolutely true. This can be good or bad depending on the cook. Personally, I don't think there's much difference in the flavor itself so much as the strength of the flavor (although I have not had a side by side comparison, I have cooked with dry and green with a variety of woods), Anyway, I'm in Carolina too Craig. You ever get out to Wilbur's or Lexington? I hit WIlbur's on the way to the beach and Lexington going to Panther games. Maybe I can stop by some time and relieve you of some of that wood! hehehe
