Surf Rider
Featuring Renee Roulette and Jmac
Welcome aboard another CaptainStabbin Anal Adventure. This week we have Renee Roulette, a slim 19 year old with some nice booty curves to her. Unsurprisingly enough, this was not Renee's first time doing anal. Take from that what you will. Yet, it was still amazing to see her take a dick the size of J-Mac's in such a tiny butthole. She took it like a champ and even craved for more. Even her blow job skills were on point. This might be the humble beginnings of a future Anal All-Star here, remember where you saw her first.
Pretty Penny
Featuring Penny Nichols and Levi Cash
Today was a special day for The Stabbin's boat. We had the pleasure of bringing you Penny Nichols. We had never seen a chick more eager to get fucked in the ass than Penny was. She was super rambunctious and desperate for cock in her ass. She was super lightweight and the Captain was rag dolling this young hot babe any which way. After the adventure she reportedly couldn't walk straight for a week!
Shes Got The Juice
Featuring Brittany Shae and Jmac
Another glorious edition of Captain Stabbin'! Bringing you anal adventures since 2002 and still going strong! Over the years the legend of the captain has grown into urban legend. But the captain lives and the sea is still his bitch. Yea the captains have changed and legacies handed down from past to present but the essence of the CaptainStabbin' still lives. So without further ado today we bring you the sexy Brittany Shae. Brittany was your regular country girl who had never seen the sea, so we were obliged to let the captain show her the ropes. We set the good ol ship off to the true north and reached our sacred spot of debauchery. Let's just say after today Brittany's anus will never be the same...
Swimming In It
Featuring Mandy Muse and Jmac
We picked up Mandy Muse to take a nice trip out in the ocean with us. She had never been fishing, so we thought it we would teach her a few things about catching the big fish. She was a hot young girl that was down for whatever. That is the real reason we brought her along. Everything else is just a bonus. We battled the waves for a while as fishing seemed to lose it's fun by the second. We let Mandy reel in the last line. As she bent over Jmac, she shook her ass and teased us. Jmac knew how loose she was so he popped a finger in her ass. She wasn't fazed what so ever. Right then we knew this was going to be another Captain Stabbing adventure. We moved to the front of the boat to let the real open water sport begin. Mandy took his cock with all her might as the sun beat down. They worked on their tans as Jmac work on her ass. He went hook, line and sank his cock deep in to her, but there was still one final lesson for her. Every one that comes aboard the SS Stabbin gets tossed into the deep blue sea to complete the adventure.
Jizz On Jade
Featuring Jade Jantzen and Jmac
Jade Jantzen joined Jmac and the crew on their latest adventure. She agreed to give up the booty in exchange for a day out on the sea. Once they were out far enough, Jmac pulled out his one eye sea monster. Jade gave him an amazing blow job and then begged to get fucked. Jmac did not hesitate, he immediately fucked her wet clam all over the boat. Then he plundered her tight little asshole before blasting his jizz all over her face and throwing her overboard.
Sea Banging
Featuring Alice Lighthouse and Levi Cash
Alice was talking the other night about how much she loved to be out in the ocean on a nice boat. She was a hottie who loved to suck dick and get stroked hard and deep. We told her we'd take her out to sea on a kick-ass boat if she let Levi pound her sweet ass. Alice had never had anal before, but she was totally down for it. We went out to sea, and Levi feasted on her perfect tight ass. After pounding her sweet pink pussy, she begged him to stroke her ass! Alice was smoking hot and this footage was HOT!
Boats And Babes
Featuring Mikayla Mico and Levi Cash
Mikayla came on a boat trip for some captain stabbin action. She was a cutie with a nice booty. After she got on the boat, Mikayla stripped down to her string bikini and revealed her delicious body. Soon after, she was sucking that cock and getting her pussy and asshole fingered. Mikayla got her asshole munched on, and then Levi pounded that pussy. But what she really wanted was that dick in her sweet teen asshole, and she got it. Mikayla got her pussy and butt hole stroked deep and got that man juice all over her pretty face. The crew told her to jump in the ocean to get all that cum off of her face. But when she jumped in, they started the boat up and the captain drifted away.
Deep Sea Dick
Featuring Callie Calypso and Tony Rubino
Callie came on our boat voyage looking very sexy in a bikini top and some tiny tight shorts. Her ass was looking awesome, and she shook it all over the boat for us. Once out in the water, Callie undressed and revealed her luscious body. She got all oiled up and sucked that cock like a champ. It was so hot to watch Callie's juicy ass bounce all over, as she got her pussy pounded. Then Callie got that cock in her asshole for some ass ramming anal. She got her pussy and asshole drilled and got man juice in her mouth. Not surprisingly, Callie swallowed it all down. After the fucking, they jumped in the water to go snorkeling. Tony sneaked back on the boat while Callie was shaking her juicy rump in the water, and the guys took off and left her behind.
Boat Love
Featuring Ashlee Raine and Jmac
We had a newbie come aboard this week. She had never been on a boat out in the ocean. So we had to show her the ways of the Captain. She was smoking hot and had an awesome pair of knockers. Once we got out for enough, we started oiling her down and checking out her sweet curves. After sucking Jmac off in the back of the boat, they jumped in and he gave her the real ride. She got to expierence the high seas with a huge cock in her ass. She was loving it and so will you. Dont miss out, super hot!
Seduction In The Sun
Featuring Alora Jaymes and Jmac
We got a real firecracker to come along with us this week on the Captains boat. She was super amped and ready to get into some high seas nastiness. She made the claim that she could shove Jmacs whole donger down her throat so we had to put her to the challenge. This feisty mama really started wailing and screaming for more when the cock was jammed up her ass. Dont miss all the awesome anal love in this one, its a classic.
Captain Booty
Featuring Sierra Sanders and Aj Applegate
Jmac and I agreed to meet at the marina and wait for the girls to arrive but after waiting by myself for a what seemed like eons, I decided to walk around the parking lot, Low and behold Jmac was in his car getting his knob slobbed by Sierra and her equally beautiful friend A.J. Soon after the introductions we sailed out for an exciting anal adventure. When we reached a secluded area away from the shore an all out orgy ensued. The girls were completely uninhibited, they licked and finger fucked each others tight little booty holes. Jmac was eventually invited to partake in the ass festivities. He pounded each of the girls and caused them to experience multiple assgasms. After Jmac blasted his load all over the girls, we threw them overboard and sailed off to another anal adventure.
Boat Honeys
Featuring Macy Cartel and Zarena Summers
Jmac invites two beautiful girls, Macy and Zarena, to go for a boat ride off the coast of Miami. These girls having never seen Miami from the water are instantly onboard. Both girls thin and with captivating curves their swimsuits provide a sneak peak at what treasures they are hiding. They start by sunbathing on a deck above the bow. Jmac sees this as the perfect opportunity to cover them with oil. And we all know what happens when scantily dressed women are covered in oil. Macy and Zarena start by rubbing the oil on each other, but it isnt long before Jmac jumps in and gets a closer look at Zarenas pussy. Macy is ready to party and jumps right into the threesome. They want to see what Jmac has under his suit and soon theyre both sucking his cock. Two pretty mouths put Jmac at full attention. He starts with Macy, fucking her while Zarena rubs her pussy and tits. Not wanting Zarena to feel left out he starts fucking her as Macy rubs her tits and pussy. Then Jmac takes it to the next level, fucking Zarena in the ass while Macy licks her pussy. To end this glorious, seaworthy voyage Jmac has the girls lie next to each other while he covers their faces with cum.

Recently, the good folks at Kapersky Lab, along with other researchers, announced the discovery of a piece of malware that was infecting computers, mostly in the Middle East, and collecting data for later retrieval.
This spyware package, which is codenamed Worm.Win32.Flame, pretty much does it all: sniffs network traffic, logs keystrokes, takes screenshots, and even records audio conversations if a microphone is present on the computer.
Flame apparently uses all sorts of classic ploys to get into place, such as backdoor hacks, Trojan attacks, and worm-like reproductive features. Once it is in place, an operator can retrieve the data remotely, and upload additional modules as desired.
Related coverage:
'Flame' raises spyware to new levels, but who's behind it?
When fully deployed, the Flame package is almost 20M in size, easily making it one of the most complex threats discovered to date. More detailed information about it can be found on Kapersky's Securelist blog, which is highly recommended reading.
Last summer, when Stuxnet reared its head, I noted the rumors that it was a state-sponsored attack. I also weighed the pros and cons of using something like malware in the pursuit of trying to hamper Iran's nuclear weapons program.
Well, it looks as if Flame — which also is knows as Flamer and sKyWIper by other security teams — might have also been state-sponsored. At least, the Kapersky blogger seems to think so. It was also noted the most reported infections by far (over twice as many as any other country) have been in Iran, followed distantly by Israel/Palestine.
Given this, it brings us back to the quandary I had brought up in the Stuxnet article — is it right to use malware for espionage, or other state-sponsored attacks? Is it wrong if China does it but OK for the United States? Should we be impressed with Flame or horrified by it?
Since I had been a network administrator for so long, you might say I have a personal bias against viruses and other malware. So the thought of using them for any purpose, whether it turns out to be a good one or not, is something I have some trouble swallowing. But, as we all know, nothing is as cut-and-dried as all that, and the reality is very complicated.
So what do you all think? Should the United States be in the business of employing viruses and malware, if indeed we are behind this one?

A weapon is neither good nor bad....the use of it is good or bad. A cannon is a bad thing if we fire it on ourselves, but not if it is on an enenmy of a declared conflict. Here is the cyber risk. Cyber weapons seem to be more like land mines than targeted tools like cannons, guns, missiles. Once out there, controlling who's leg it blows off is difficult. It is not a one time targeted offense. It induces a sustained risk to an environment. Stuxnet was somewhat more targeted than most cyber attacks. Something to consider.
When used against enemies of western civilization? Sure it is OK. The danger is monitoring this technology to make sure it is not misused at home. How could you monitor min-use however?
We already exist in a state of cyber-warfare. Similar to the Cold War our adversaries are constantly testing our cyber defenses for vulnerabilities. The Flame malware is simply one weapons system of many on the cyber battlefield. Hopefully it's ours. Our strength has always been to counter threats using our superior technology. We used nuclear technology to end World War II, missile technology to counter the Russians, Stealth technology to destroy Iraq's air defenses and now drones against terrorists. If we can now use our technological superiority to disrupt Iran's maniacal quest for nuclear weapons then we are obligated to use it. Standing on principle isn't always a good thing. Especially when millions of lives could be hanging in the balance.
Espionage is espionage, regardless of who is doing it. The general rule for the spy is do the best you can by any means to gain their secrets without getting caught. In that regard it doesn't matter whether it is a U2, a Keyhole satellite, Mata Hari or Flame. Nations use the tools at their disposal in the interest of national security. That includes diplomacy, propaganda, guns, bombs, sabotage and now malware. If someone uses Flame against a U. S. interest, we will prosecute them as we have all spies. Other nations will do the same if we're using it. It is naive to expect otherwise. You can condemn it, wring your hands in anguish over it, etc. But no matter what else you may consider, you better prepare for and defend against it.
Do not do unto others what you would not accept happening to yourself. And if you would accept this happening to yourself, you should not be allowed to breed. If you would do this unto others you shouldn't be allowed to breed either.Sad the state to which our country has fallen that such a question would even be asked.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) All-Star Scott Kazmir capped the best first-half of his career with one of his best starts yet.
Kazmir struck out nine in seven scoreless innings to help the Oakland Athletics win the annual Bay Bridge series by beating the San Francisco Giants 6-1 on Thursday.
''I felt good from pitch one,'' Kazmir said. ''I felt comfortable. I was able to get some quick outs and use all of my pitches.''
Josh Donaldson hit a two-run homer and Stephen Vogt drove in three runs for the A's, who won three of four in the two-city series that began Monday night in Oakland. The A's (58-34) have won seven of eight overall and have matched the best start in Oakland history.
Tim Hudson (7-6) was unable to make it out of the sixth inning and lost his fourth straight decision for the floundering Giants.
San Francisco has lost 15 of its past 19 home games and hasn't won consecutive games here in more than a month.
''We're not playing nearly the kind of baseball we want to play, for sure,'' Hudson said. ''We just have to improve in a number of different areas.''
The game ended on a replay review when A's manager Bob Melvin challenged a call that Vogt pulled his foot off first base on an infield hit by Gregor Blanco. The replay showed Vogt kept his foot on the bag, leading to the final out.
Kazmir (11-3) got the best of a heralded matchup against Hudson, allowing three hits and one walk. Kazmir has allowed one run or fewer in 11 of 19 starts this season for a 2.38 ERA. He is just two wins shy of matching his career best set in 2007 in Tampa Bay.
''The way he moves feet and moves eyes and dots up the corners and gets people to chase pitches is really remarkable,'' Vogt said. ''`He's doing such a great job.''
Kazmir retired the first eight batters before walking Hudson and didn't allow a hit until Michael Morse's leadoff single to center in the fifth.
Kazmir struck out Brandon Belt and Brandon Hicks before Blanco doubled Morse to third base to snap a 19 at-bat hitless streak. Hudson then hit a drive to deep left-center that Craig Gentry ran down on the warning track for an inning-ending catch.
The A's broke the game open in the top of the sixth when they put together four straight extra-base hits to open the inning against Hudson, including a two-run homer by Donaldson over the right-field wall. Donaldson's 20th homer came the same day he was picked to participate in the Home Run Derby at the All-Star game next week.
''It's definitely pretty neat,'' he said. ''It will be one of those things that adds icing to the cake. Hopefully I'll be able to put on a show.''
Vogt added a two-run single off Javier Lopez to give the A's a 6-0 lead. Vogt also drove in a run earlier when he singled in the fifth following John Jaso's two-out triple to make it 2-0.
This marked the first time Hudson allowed four straight extra-base hits, according to STATS LLC.
''That sixth inning got away from me a little bit, a couple bad pitches that they took advantage of,'' Hudson said. ''They hit a couple decent pitches, I thought. It was a little bit of a weird inning. It kind of unraveled on us a little bit.''
Hudson allowed six runs and nine hits in 5 1-3 innings and lost for the second time in his career against the A's. Hudson spent the first six years of his career in Oakland and has beaten every team in the majors except the A's and Atlanta.
The Giants finally got on the board in the eighth when Pablo Sandoval hit an RBI single off Dan Otero.
NOTES: A's All-Star OF Yoenis Cespedes went 0 for 5 with four Ks and hit into a double play. ... Home plate umpire Adrian Johnson left the game before the top of the fourth after being hit in the mask by a foul ball in the first inning. Crew chief Angel Hernandez moved from second base to behind the plate and the game finished with three umpires. ... Tim Lincecum (8-5) goes for his fourth straight win Friday when the Giants open a three-game series against Arizona. ... Jeff Samardzija (1-0) will make his second start for Oakland when the A's open a three-game series in Seattle against Felix Hernandez (10-2).

This CD is the third in a series containing all Telemann's violin concerti. Volumes 1 and 2 are available on CPO 999900-2 and 999089-2. It must be said at the start that the playing of Elizabeth Wallfisch and the Wallfisch Band is of a very high standard. They match poise and elegance with drive… qualities that Telemann would have endorsed. Listen to the way the ideas unfold in the Invention iv of the A major Concerto [tr.12], for example: a mixture of Vivaldian intervals and Lullyan rhythms. Or in the contrasts as the opening movements of the D Major work [tr.s 1,2] take us through all sorts of rhythmic and phrasing twists and turns; yet somehow convey a sense of continuity. Real virtuosity, yet lightly worn.
Indeed, Telemann's concerti are packed with melody, variety and impact. The composer held it very important to ensure that his works were enjoyed. A cerebral approach is not Telemann's approach. Which is not to say that these works are slight. They are really orchestral suites with no great separate role for soloist in the sense that Tartini or Geminiani understood the idea. Yet they do explore the timbres of ensemble and instrumental sound… Telemann was clearly fascinated by the characteristics of string instruments.
As the CD progresses, you can almost hear the delight with which Wallfisch and her group attack each new movement, section and phrase. There is a certainty borne of real familiarity with these crisp, yet mellow, works. But it's not a certainty in any way pompous or overblown. Rather, a delight in the invention and somewhat relaxed way in which Telemann has seen each new idea through. The final vivace of the G Major [tr.18] is a good example. In barely three minutes these musicians expose Telemann's command of tempo, rhythm and melody in a way that commends the movement to us as something entirely new – despite the fact that the composer was experimenting in a number of ways. Perhaps for a specific occasion and/or assemblage of performing talent? Perhaps as a way to elicit a chuckle in his listeners? Perhaps merely… "because he could". At any rate the result is pleasing and repays careful repeated listening so special are the treats the apparently confident music tends to hide. Again, it's to Wallfisch's credit that the result sounds so natural while not concealing the inevitable tensions that result from such experimentation.
That idea of repeated listening and of thus deriving from each new exposure something new, different and deeper is an important one. Without playing in too demonstrative a way, these musicians manage to commend to us the notion that the music is indeed full of layers to be revealed successively. A reference here, an implied piece of ornamentation there – and a care for and meticulous working of melodic and harmonic ideas almost throughout: these are at the core of the musical impetus of these concerti. And the far from perfunctory playing of Wallfisch and her group lets the music breathe in such a way from beginning to end. At the same time the interpretations are conceived on levels that make them very approachable… one can imagine sitting in on contemporary performances and getting a nod and a smile from the players between movements. But without ever removing the veneer of invention from Telemann's conceptions. Very satisfying.
The acoustic is clean and assists in our clear appreciation of this intriguing music by Telemann. The booklet has introductions in English, French and German which are useful if a little hard to read because of their small font. None of these concerti appears to exist anywhere on current recordings. That makes this CD an even more attractive buy.

Self-Lighting Cigarette
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Misc. Tech,
In an effort to make ruining your lungs an even easier affair, Israel company Gasham Enterprises has developed a cigarette that can be lit without a match, lighter, or any other type of portable flame. Instead, the tip of the cigarette has sulfur and phosphorus built right in. All you need to do is rub the cigarette against the side of the pack, and it ignites. You would think that a rough action like this would destroy the cigarette, crumbling it to pieces - but these cigarettes are reinforced with bamboo and tobacco leaf to stop them from breaking.

DIY Microphone Pop Screen
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Music,
It's always a great joy to mod things for no real reason other than to be able to prove to yourself that you could do it. It's even better when the mod actually has a purpose, and can save you some serious cash at the same time. A perfect example of this is Jake Ludington's homemade microphone pop screen. You see, when talking into a mic, the p's and b's can sometimes spike the audio signal which distorts the sound. A pop screen solves this problem, as it absorbs whatever it is that causes that spike in the first place. I have casually shopped for pop screens before, and they aren't cheap. That is what makes Jake's so appealing. All you need is a 6" embroidery hoop, generic pantyhose, 1/2-inch split flex tubing, 2 feet 10-2 wire, 7.5" black zip ties, 1 1/4" compression fitting (from plumbing), and a 1" spring clamp. Get all this together, and it will cost less than ten bucks. Full assembly instructions at Jake's site.

Every time I go down to visit my mom in South Jersey I get the living crap scared out of me. That's because the neighbor's two dogs lunge up to their gate with the biggest roar of of a bark imaginable. A little device like this one should help prevent any future heart-attacks on my part. Essentially, it emits a high pitch that only dogs can hear whenever they start barking. The thought here is that the dog will eventually learn that they should not bark, lest that want toey should hear that annoying sound. Won't keep your house from being burglarized though.
(Thanks Fresh!)

Bling Out Your PSP
Posted by Edwin Soto Categories: Accessories, Video Games,
This was made because we all drive Bentley's, wear Armani suits, and eat at only the finest dining establishments. At the foolhardy price of 35 G's this gold and diamond encrusted PSP will do absolutely nothing special that the regular one cant do. Actually, it will definitely get you more chicks. As an added bonus: people won't think your childish for playing video games - just fashionable.

Remote Overclocking with ABIT RM-11
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Accessories, Home Entertainment, PC / Laptop,
The RM-11 remote from ABIT uses the µGuru connection which is now present on most ABIT mainboards to give you access to features other remote solutions can only dream of. Sure, you can control your media center PC for things like selecting activities, pumping up the volume, and viewing media - but the RM-11 goes a few steps further. Connected to that odd little red connector on your ABIT mainboard, the RM-11 then has the capability to control the settings of your mainboard through the µGuru software. Imagine using this with your media PC in your living room. Clock your PC down and enjoy a movie. If you want to game, use the remote to overclock the PC without even touching the keyboard. But the ABIT guys haven't stopped there, they've clearly had a good long think about what a replacement remote needs to do, and have built in the ability for the RM-11 to replace all your remotes in one swoop. On the back of the unit is a small receiver which allows the remote to learn the codes should it not have your particular brand in its database of thousands of codes. When not in use, the RM-11 resides in a stylish cradle through which it can download new updates and profiles for use, meaning you will only have to perhaps program it once, if at all, and it'll look after itself from then on.

In spite of the previous reports, Intel will commercially launch its code-named Clarkdale processors for desktops in the first quarter of 2010, according to the original schedule, but not ahead of it, according to Intel's plans seen by X-bit labs. Details of the new Clarkdale microprocessors are now also more or less clear: the chips will work at up to 3.46GHz, will sport Hyper-Threading technology and will consume just about 73W.
Just as announced originally, Intel will start shipping its first 32nm dual-core microprocessors with 4MB of cache, Hyper-Threading, dual-channel DDR3 memory controllers and integrated graphics cores code-named Clarkdale for mainstream desktop computers late in 2009. Since Clarkdale central processing units (CPUs) has integrated memory controller, graphics core as well as PCI Express interconnection inside, there will be no need for GMCH (or North Bridge) on the mainboard. Instead, the new processors will connect directly to Intel 5-series core-logic (code-named Ibexpeak platform) controller hub (PCH) that will carry hard drive controller, wired and wireless network controllers, monitor physical interfaces, PCI controller and other input/output as well as platform-related capabilities.
The code-named dual-core Clarkdale processors will be sold under different brands and will support different features:
* Intel Core i5: 3.46GHz, 3.33GHz, 3.20GHz, 4MB of cache, Hyper-Threading technology. The chips will be priced at $284, $196 and $176 in business quantities, depending on the frequency.
* Intel Core i3: 3.06GHz, 2.93GHz, 4MB of cache, Hyper-Threading technology. The chips will be priced at $143 and $123 in business quantities, depending on the frequency.
* Intel Pentium: 2.80GHz, 3MB of cache, no Hyper-Threading. The chip will be priced at $87.
Clarkdale is based on the code-named Westmere micro-architecture, which means it has integrated memory controller as well as graphics engine. Therefore, 73W thermal design power of the chip will allow system makers to create even more energy efficient systems that exist today, all thanks to 32nm fabrication process.

First and most important, I've read some of the posts and this seems like the kind of proffessional board I've been searching for. Very nice product and assemblege of users.
My question: Should I burn my #1 priority to claim Escobar off waivers?
League: 12 team H2H, 6x6, (AL/NL) , 20 active + 2DL slots, keepers = 5 players (1 SP, 1RP, 1OF, 1CI + a player at any position not drafted in rnds 1-13 or kept the previous season). Pitching cats = W,CG,SV,K,ERA,OPS, No maximum innings. No maximum transactions.
My specifics: 1st place but only by a game and a half. Saves USED TO BE an almost auto win for me (Gagne, Nen, Guardado) but after trading Eddie (for J. Vazquez) 5 weeks ago it's always a tight category.
This league is extremely competitive, the bottom team is at .456 winning % and the top team .561%, (13 1/2 games out). I know 8 of these owners tendencies well as we're in keeper hockey and football leagues as well. But we added 3 "new" baseball guys this season and their moves can catch us off guard.
Point of reference: Acevedo (recently flaming out just like Escobar) just went through his waiver time and was claimed by the #3 waiver guy (middle pack in standings) he also has Izzy, Foulke, and Graves.
My hesitation: I'm worried these new guys will cut loose a better player (while injured) as they've shown in the past Wade Miller and Juan Gone understandably went to the #1 waiver guys when our "newbies" panicked.
Do I claim Escobar even though I've got 2 great closers or hold my position hoping for a "bigger prize"? Thanks, Dan.

American Robby Gordon won the 13th stage of the Dakar Rally on Friday, while Frenchman Stephane Peterhansel kept his lead in the overall standings with one day to go.
Gordon was 22 seconds ahead of Guerlain Chicherit of France in the cars category, while Peterhansel finished nearly 14 minutes off the pace.
Peterhansel is still expected to win his 11th Dakar title barring any mishap, as he leads the overall car standings by 44 minutes, 38 seconds ahead of Giniel de Villieres of South Africa. Other competitors are more than an hour behind.
The rally finishes Saturday in the Chilean capital of Santiago.
"We didn't take any risks at all and we only lost a few minutes, but we managed to protect our lead this way," Peterhansel said.
"There were some impressive dunes, but rather than risking getting stuck on them, we preferred to go either right or left around them and then get back on track afterward."
Peterhansel spoke cautiously, knowing he still might face problems.
"It will be simpler tomorrow because it is less long than today," he said. "I think we still have a lead of around 45 minutes, so we're going to carry on taking it easy. But there's no sign of relief yet. We know how it goes: something could still happen right up until you cross the finishing line."
In motorbikes, defending champion Cyril Despres closed in on his fifth Dakar title. Despres leads KTM teammate Francisco Lopez of Chile by 8:15 in the overall, and is 14:14 up on another KTM rider Ruben Faria of Portugal.
"Since I ate quite a bit of dust in the morning, I preferred to make sure and take it easy," Despres said. "As for celebrating, we still have 220 kilometers to the bivouac today (Friday) and with 690 kilometers tomorrow, it's not going to be a walk in the park."
Lopez won Friday's stage, with Despres 5:25 behind.

Trouten about for Brechin
Alan Trouten's goal before the break gave Brechin a 1b0 win over Stenhousemuir at Glebe Park.
Martin Grehan's penalty miss denied the visitors the chance of a point in the second match of the Scottish League One season.
The hosts scored the only goal of the game in the 43rd minute. Craig Molloy's free-kick made its way to Trouten in the box, who fired high into the net from 10 yards. It came just minutes after he sent a similar opportunity flying over the bar for City.
The Warriors had excellent second-half chances to go ahead, through Ryan Millar and Grehan, but both failed to hit the target.
With 12 minutes left on the clock Paul McLean fouled Colin McMenamin in the box but Grehan's penalty was saved well by Graeme Smith to help preserve his side's lead.

After taking on the lack of model diversity, Franca Sozzani (the editor extraordinaire behind the Black Issue of Italian Vogue) now wants us to sit up and pay attention to a different cause- the immense need for aid in Africa.
As part of her campaign for fashion to stand up and act, Sozzani has made the latest issue of L'Uomo Vogue the 'AFRICA ISSUE.' This means that every feature or person included in the issue has some sort of relation to the need of Africa. It features Nelson Mandela, Naomi Campbell, Forest Whitaker and Bernard Henri-Levy (the philosopher and co-editor of the special issue.)
New York Magazine tells us that Sozzani "not want to make an aesthetic statement about Africa…unlike a recent issue of India's Vogue magazine…this one won't show peasants posing with $5,000 handbags."
See after the jump for pictures of contributors including Nelson Mandela and Michelle Obama and e-mail email@example.com to tell us what you think of the issue.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) -- Like their counterparts in other southern states, Arkansas Republicans denounced "Obamacare" during this year's election campaign and called for its repeal. But now that they've won control of the Legislature for the first time in 138 years, GOP lawmakers are considering something that would be anathema to conservatives elsewhere -- expanding government health care in the state.
Instead of rejecting outright the idea of expanding the Medicaid program for the poor —an optional part of the new health insurance system — Arkansas lawmakers are exploring ways of adding up to 250,000 low-income residents to the rolls, which already include a fourth of the state's population.
"It's a one-time opportunity to strive for complete coverage and catch up to the richer states," said State Surgeon General Joe Thompson, who is pushing for the expansion. "It is not fair that a working mom in Arkansas could be disadvantaged in the same way that if she were in Maine, she'd be advantaged."
The legislative effort may fall short. Republicans are seeking more flexibility to contain Medicaid's costs, which the federal government and states jointly pay, and the Obama administration has ruled out some possibilities. Also, the move would require the support of three-fourths of the state House and Senate.
"I'm not naive about the fact that some of them campaigned against it and wouldn't change their mind no matter what," said Democratic Gov. Mike Beebe, who is supporting the expansion. "It's just a question of how many."
But the fact that the idea is under active consideration reflects a state where Republican dominance and strict partisan ideology haven't been entrenched for years -- unlike the states around Arkansas -- and where many working families subsist on modest incomes. Supporters hope the effort could produce a hybrid approach that could work in politically and fiscally conservative places.
"I think from the liberal and progressive side, people want to see more people covered by Medicaid. From the conservative side, people are worried about the long-term financial risk to the state," said incoming Senate President Michael Lamoureux, a Republican, adding, "There's a rare opportunity to couple the two."
Approved in 2010, the new health care law aims to provide insurance to about 30 million people who don't have coverage. Many of the middle-class uninsured would receive government subsidies to purchase private insurance. Lower-income workers who don't earn enough for the private plans would be added to Medicaid, which covers health care for the poor. But the Supreme Court, in its ruling earlier this year on the law, gave states the right to opt out of expanding Medicaid since they bear some of the costs.
In Arkansas, where chicken processors, trucking companies and discount stores are major low-wage employers, that decision would affect about a quarter million people making less than roughly $15,000 a year and families below about $31,000. The state's median family income is about $41,000, which ranks 44nd in the nation, and 19 percent of the residents have no health insurance, compared to 15 percent nationwide.
Families who would miss out on the new coverage are calling on the Legislature to find a way to include them.
"I pay my taxes and my taxes go to the federal government and I'll be basically paying taxes for people in other states to have the expansion when I can't get it myself," said Claudia Reynolds-LeBlanc, of Hot Springs, a part-time retail worker in her 50s who earns $20,000 a year. Her 12-year-old son is covered under a children's health program, but Reynolds-LeBlanc hasn't had insurance since 2000.
Most Republican-controlled states, including neighboring Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma and Texas, have rejected the Medicaid expansion even though the federal government would pay the full tab for the first three years and 90% long term. Rising health costs rose have aggravated budget problems for many states. Arkansas is planning to cut $138 million in services from its program next year because of growing costs.
But the Republicans in Arkansas, where Democrats had long controlled the Legislature, say the expansion might work if they can require co-pays from some beneficiaries, mandate drug tests, impose stiffer penalties for fraud and use other measures to limit expenses.
"It goes back to being able to have a system that's solvent and sustainable," said Republican Sen. Jonathan Dismang.
Democrats say they're willing to listen to the proposals, but that the benefits of the expansion should be obvious.
"If we miss this opportunity," said Democratic Sen.-elect Keith Ingram, "...then shame on us."
Republicans were encouraged by Beebe's request for federal permission to cap state Medicaid spending over the next eight years and for more flexibility on how the money is spent. DHS officials haven't responded, but a similar waiver allowed Rhode Island more flexibility in how it cares for its seniors.
"We are open to really talking about anything that seems to make sense and helps us get to yes...," DHS Director John Selig said recently.
One option was foreclosed this week when the Obama administration said states couldn't opt to cover a smaller slice of the working poor and still receive all the federal money.
Thompson, the surgeon general, said he thinks the new sharing of power between Republicans and Democrats in the state could help.
"There are states that aren't having any conversations right now because they can't get past the R and D difference and sit down at the table to discuss where they want to go and what they want to do," Thompson said.

The Flyers are buying out Ilya Bryzgalov, who had an up-and-down two seasons with the team and had a sometimes-contentious relationship with coach Peter Laviolette.
The Flyers will have to pay him $23 million (two-thirds of the $34 million left) over 14 years, or $1.6 million per year. They cannot officially buy him out until 11 p.m. Wednesday.
"It's obviously a costly mistake," said general manager Paul Holmgren, who is attempting to sign star center Claude Giroux to a long-term deal. He called it a "very difficult" decision, but that it was done for cap flexibility.
It is the largest buyout in NHL history, according to capgeek.com.
With the buyout, the Flyers will have nearly $4.2 million cap space. They will have about about $9.1 million when Chris Pronger goes on the long-term injured list at the start of the season.
The decision was made "strictly for cap flexibility," said Peter Luukko, president of the Flyers' parent company, Comcast-Spectacor. That said, Bryzgalov had become a locker room distraction with his odd comments.
The Flyers may now pursue free-agent goalies Ray Emery or Evgeni Nabokov. Teams cannot talk to prospective free agents until July 3, and free agency starts on July 5.
"It's going to be a wild ride for the next little while," Holmgren said.
Steve Mason, who excelled in a seven-game stint after being acquired from Columbus late in the season, is the Flyers' No. 1 goalie. For now. He will be given the chance to win the job in training camp.
"I'm a big Steve Mason fan," Holmgren said. "He's a very young goalie and, for his age, has a lot of experience. Ideally, we'd be able to get a guy that would work in tandem with him."
Luukko said Holmgren met with him and club chairman Ed Snider after the season and the GM said buying out Bryzgalov would give the Flyers "the most flexibility to make our roster better."
The list of free agents who might interest the Flyers includes wingers Viktor Stalberg, Nathan Horton, Bryan Bickell and David Clarkson.
Asked if he felt comfortable with Mason as the primary starter, Holmgren said, "I trust him as one of two goalies, but I believe he has a bright future."
As for Bryzgalov, 33, he oozed of sarcasm when a reporter told him that the buyout decision had been made public, "Congratulations to you guys," he said.
Sources say Bryzgalov and Laviolette had many verbal spars during the season.
Asked to comment on his feelings on the buyout, Bryzgalov said: "I don't want to talk to you guys."
Bryzgalov had an up-and-down two-year stint after signing a $51 million, nine-year deal with the Flyers.
After his first season, Holmgren made it clear he wanted Bryzgalov to focus more on hockey and less on some of his bizarre comments.
"His job is to stop pucks and help us win games," Holmgren said at the time in a good-natured tone. "It's not Comedy Central."
But Bryzglaov seemed to be imploring the Flyers to buy him by continuing to be a distraction after this season.
In an interview with the Russian sports site Championat, he was quoted as saying he disliked the city of Philadelphia and that he admired Joseph Stalin, who ruled the Soviet Union for more than two decades.
It is not known whether those comments were lost in translation into English.
"He's said some off-the-wall things," Luukko said, "but this was strictly a business decision. Claude Giroux's (contract extension) is coming up and we want to be able to look at players in free agency and in the trade market."
Asked if Bryzgalov had become a distraction in the locker rooom, Flyers forward Brayden Schenn said, "I don't know. Everyone knows Bryz is Bryz. Some people may think he's a little differnet, but I'm not going to say one way or another. I'm sure you guys know how Bryz was."
Broadcaster Jeremy Roenick said Holmgren had made a "wise decision" to buyout the goalie.
"He struggled mightily and when you are paid a lot of money, you are expected to perform a certain way and act a certain way."
It would not be surprising if Bryzgalov ended up returning to play in his homeland, Russia. Ritch Winter, Bryzgalov's agent, did not return phone calls.
The Flyers last week announced they were buying out Danny Briere's contract; they thus have used both compliance buyouts that were created by the new collective bargaining agreement.

Friday Night Lights, Season 5
This was a desultory placeholder episode that just inched several plots forward in the obvious ways. Jess broke up with Vince, and then Coach benched him for a game. Julie skulked around Matt's place instead of her parents, until he forced her to get back in the car and drive south. Becky (saint) insinuated herself into dinner with Luke's evangelical parents, while Becky (sinner) earned some good waitressing tips from the drunken louts at the Landing Strip. The only big drama came from Epyck, who, also in saint/sinner mode, first won over Gracie Bell with the old starfish princess routine and then later smashed Tami's head into a wall when another teacher accused her of stealing. But as we've said many times, Epyck drama does not move us. She hasn't earned enough of our love for us to be devastated by her fall. I got up to make myself tea while she was being led away in handcuffs.
I felt a palpable relief in seeing Vince come back to his senses at the episode's end, after the Lions won without him, restraining his father from jumping onto the field after the game and doing God knows what to Coach. ("For me, for me," Vince said, barring Ornette but stopping short of anger or violence.) I'll miss the old Ornette and his animal hatred for Coach. But the boy has suffered long enough. Also, for once his mom's excessive gentlenesss did not seem irritating or out of place. She struck just the right tone with Vince: "I think maybe you don't have to take his advice all the time."
One question about the Vince subplot. Just as with Smash in Season 1, the writers have made the black hotshot an arrogant jerk who tears the team apart. Is this brave and true to life or mildly racist? In Season 1, we had the counterbalance of Tim as the white-trash thug who justified Smash's hatred, but this season there is only sweet Luke, so the fault is all with Vince and his gangster father.
And how about our Matty? Quite a life he's made for himself, with that sub-Art Basel loot on the high loft walls, the friends at the trendy bar, and the bagels for breakfast. Pretty soon he'll be sporting some square-toed Skechers and a fedora and peddling his portfolio all over Brooklyn. I have to admit, I did wonder if Julie was right, and she doesn't fit into his life anymore. He's too cool for her now. She is the Tim of this season, always moping, always lost. Matty, meanwhile, looks like a boy with a bright future in indie movies.
Finally, it's clear that the writers have their best time writing Billy's and Mindy's lines. A "pee stick in the mouth"? That's Louis C.K.-level funny.

David Abraham announces the launch of 4seven
Speaking today at the FT Digital Media Conference David Abraham, Channel 4 Chief Executive, announced the launch of 4seven; the first new channel for the broadcaster since 2005.
Launching across all major TV platforms later this year, the channel will give viewers another chance to catch up with the most popular and talked about Channel 4 content from the last 7 days with the ease of a remote control rather than going online.
Making the announcement David Abraham commented:
"With so much choice out there, viewers are increasingly saying they sometimes just miss the best stuff, despite their PVR and VOD. 4seven will give viewers more chances to catch the most popular and talked about Channel 4 shows from the last seven days.
It will schedule the main channel content that is creating noise - amongst social media, bloggers, commentators and of course via contact our viewers have directly with us - and incorporate this buzz into the look and feel of the channel.
Scheduled in close harmony with all our other channels, 4seven will be a powerful way of maximising the audience for the many hours of new Channel 4 programming we launch every week, as well as an opportunity to direct viewers back to Channel 4 to watch more.
The launch of 4seven also supports our strategy of embracing the opportunities of connectivity, by exploring ways to deepen engagement with our viewers and expand the choices we can offer them."

It was a funny one. Zoro, Usopp, and Luffy all fighting to get near Chopper to keep them warm. Chopper kept on arguing with Usopp by turnig into his bigger form. Zoro came in and slap Chopper into his smaller form. That was kinda cute seeing Chopper turn big then all small and adorable again. Another scene I find to be funny was when Luffy making fun of the camel when the camel was trap.
The wicked scene is when Ace jump up and suddenly he got eaten. However, next thing you know, the lizard burst into flame. WOHOOOAce

I finally caught up with the series, and it's definately the funniest I've ever seen. It's sort of like a light-hearted Naruto, but with pirates instead of ninjas. I'm glad to see it's still hillarious from start to finish. And /my/ favorite part in 97 was also Chopper and Usopp. 'Ahhh! It's a monster!' Wonder if that running gag will last like the Luffy being cold one...

There's nothing stopping people posting "Episode" threads and discussing the story (just like you can in other 'licensed' forums). But there seemed little point in maintaining this thread as before (since the fansubs were never released on a weekly basis to begin with). Since the series is now licensed, I renamed this thread to be a generic "One Piece Discussion" thread, instead of the previous "Episode n" title.
This thread could still be used for discussion as long as it's made clear what ep you are talking about.

This week in Island history
The news of 10 and 15 years ago is from the Jamestown Press. The news of 25, 50, 75, and 100 years ago from the Newport Daily News comes from the collection of the Newport Historical Society.
100 years ago
From the Newport Daily News, November 21, 1906:
The Jamestown Improvement Society is having a sidewalk made on the south side of Narragansett avenue from the Four Corners to Mr. J.J. Watson's residence.
From the Newport Daily News, November 23, 1906:
Several of the young men are arranging for a dance Thanksgiving eve.
The big guns at Fort Wetherill are being tested today with a full-weight shell and regulation charge of powder, and the caretakers of the cottages near the reservation opened the windows of the houses and otherwise prepared the property to minimize the damage usually done by the jar which is caused by firing these heavy charges.
75 years ago
From the Newport Daily News, November 21, 1931:
The Jamestown & Newport Ferry Company is constructing a new, concrete sidewalk and passenger approach to the waiting room and boat at East Jamestown. This work replaces the old boardwalk and will be a distinct improvement to the locality. Due to the proximity of cold weather, the Callan Construction Company with its material and equipment at hand, were engaged to do this work and have employed local labor as far as practicable.
50 years ago From the Newport Daily News, November 19, 1956:
The so-called Jamestown Fleet Landing property on Eldred Avenue is to be sold by the Francis X. Sullivan Realty Co. of Newport. . . . At one time during the war the property was used as a landing area for the fleet with recreational facilities for men. More recently it was considered as a site for an orange juice shipping and bottling company. It comprises about 15 acres of land.
From the Newport Daily News, November 20, 1956:
A periodic revision of tuition fees, increasing the rate at Rogers High School from $286 to $312 was authorized by the School Committee.
From the Newport Daily News, November 24, 1956
In a few days, Newporters will be able to dial as they please to any of 6,250,000 telephones in Rhode Island eastern Massachusetts, New York City and the Philadelphia area. . . . Jamestown and Portsmouth exchanges are still on the manual system, so their own operators must be contacted to place a call.
25 years ago From the Newport Daily News, November 20, 1981:
(advertisements) Thanksgiving dinner at the Bay Voyage Inn $7.95 per person. Thanksgiving dinner at the Jamestown Country Club Restaurant & Lounge $8.95 per person.
From the Newport Daily News, November 24, 1981:
The controversy of the proposed connector road was a highlight of the Town Council meeting Monday night.
15 years ago From the Jamestown Press, November 21, 1991:
The Town Council Monday night prepared to take its fight for a smaller cross-island road to the Federal Highway Administration and the state Department of Environmental Management.
Sitting as the Board of Water and Sewer Commissioners, the Town Council Monday night proposed voting on a motion that would allow residents in the rural water district to tie into the town water service if they needed it to live on their property.
10 years ago From the Jamestown Press, November 21, 1996:
Residents last week called for a town-wide referendum vote on the proposed extension of East Ferry's steel pier. No one voiced objections to plans to spend some $190,000 to refurbish the existing steel pier with galvanized "T" piles, precast cement panels, and poured concrete... What residents were against is the proposed pier extension ending in an "L" or "T" dock big enough to accommodate 60-foot "go-fast" boats that would provide passenger service to and from Newport.
Sitting as the Board of Water and Sewer Commissioners, the Town Council Monday voted to give the town's emergency bottled drinking water to the city of Warwick, which was left waterless after a 102-inch culvert burst Sunday in Cranston.

GOSHEN — It's not too late to get your flu shot, but don't delay, says Dr. Jean M. Hudson, Orange County health commissioner.
GOSHEN — It's not too late to get your flu shot, but don't delay, says Dr. Jean M. Hudson, Orange County health commissioner.
Orange County — as well as New York state — is seeing widespread cases of flu this season, as evidenced by data reported to the Health Department from large health-care providers in the county, Hudson says.
"Fortunately, flu vaccine is plentiful this year," she adds. "You can get it from your doctor, a pharmacy, or by calling 291-4300 at the Health Department."
Flu vaccine is recommended for everyone over six months old. For those between the ages of 2 and 49 who are fearful of needles, the nasal spray may be an option — check with your health-care provider.
"I've had my shot," says Edward A. Diana, county executive, "and I urge you to protect yourself and your family by getting one, too."
It's important to remember, says Hudson, that the flu shot (which is given in the arm) is a killed vaccine and cannot give you the flu. However, it does take about two weeks for the vaccine to work fully, and some people do get sick during that time, she added.
For more information, call the Orange County Health Department at 291-4300.
TOWN OF WALLKILL — Orange Regional Medical Center's website has added a "Quality" page, which contains a variety of resources and information.
The page includes a listing of the hospital's patient satisfaction data, accreditations and rankings, as well as a section devoted to its patient advocate program and a resources page with links to organizations that provide health-care education and information to the community.
Orange Regional's patient satisfaction data currently reflects an above-average ranking for care, using the Northern Metropolitan Hospital Association (NORMET) benchmark.
NORMET represents and supports 30 hospitals in the Hudson Valley region, including Orange Regional, to achieve a collective goal of increasing operational effectiveness and better meet the health-care needs of communities each hospital serves.
For more information, visit ormc.org/quality.
TOWN OF WALLKILL — Orange Regional Medical Center and Northern Metropolitan Hospital Association, and its member hospitals in Westchester and the Hudson Valley, are participating in the Vet Connect program.
Vet Connect can be accessed on NorMet's home page at normet.org.
Once users click on the Vet Connect icon, they are brought to pages that provide direct links to hospital job banks, military skills translation assistance and health-care career training programs for veterans.

Grants available to fund after-school programs
Applications for the next round of 21st Century Community Learning Center (21st CCLC) grants are now available online. The centers provide students with academic enrichment opportunities and activities designed to complement students' regular school instruction.
These are five-year grants awarded in amounts of $50,000 to $150,000 per year. Funds are often awarded to schools, but other organizations may also apply. The grants must specifically support programs offered outside of regular school hours.
The learning centers are intended to assist students from high-poverty areas and low-performing schools. Funding comes from the federal government in the form of formula grants to states. Because it is authorized under the No Child Left Behind law, programming must include an academic component and content-specific enrichment activities.
"The programs funded by these grants are important to students, their parents and the community. They give students a safe, fun and educational place to go after school," said Sue Burgard, who oversees the 21st CCLC grant program for the South Dakota Department of Education.
Grant applications must be submitted to the department by Feb. 28.
The 21st CCLC team has set up two webinars for applicants. Webinars are scheduled for Jan. 22 and 23 and will provide guidance and the opportunity for applicants to ask questions. Webinar participants must pre-register by Jan. 17. The webinars are not required, but applicants are strongly encouraged to participate in one. Click here for the webinar schedule and registration.
Contact Jill Cotton at the South Dakota Department of Education, (605) 773-4693, with any questions.

The UFC's annual Fighter Summit — in which every fighter under the Zuffa roster is forcibly brought together for a series of lectures meant to educate and inspire — went down earlier this week in Las Vegas, and judging from this epic Sherdog thread, it was a nightmarish endurance test of boring presentations and insane guest speakers.
Browsing through the photos, you can just feel how uncomfortably warm the room was, how early the start-times were, how soul-crushingly dull some of those presentations turned out to be. (Anybody who's suffered through an 8am Intro to Philosophy course in college can certainly relate.) The fighters coped as best as they could — mostly by napping and doodling. We've hand-picked some of our favorite photos that were tweeted out during the ordeal, and put them in the gallery above. Enjoy.

Last week, I talked with the founder of a senior dog rescue organization near Seattle. Her report from the frontlines was dire. She says she's never seen the situation for dogs so bad. She gets several calls each day from people around the country. They are frantic. Unable to make ends meet and losing their homes and jobs, they plan to "give up" their dogs. The shelters are overcrowded; the rescues, including hers, overextended.
It's into this environment that California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has introduced a potentially catastrophic idea. At a special legislative session to address the state's budget crisis, he proposed new taxes on certain services, including an approximate nine-percent charge on veterinary services.
What happens when the cost to see the vet jumps up by 9 percent? Animal advocates and veterinarians predict an even greater reduction in routine wellness visits—which means missing opportunities to treat problems early, and more affordably and effectively. They worry that people already struggling to keep animals in the family will be forced to abandon them rather than pay for treatment. Aside from the humane issues, there is also a practical matter: More abandoned animals will only add additional strain (and cost) to shelters and rescues.
This isn't a solution. They are meeting as I blog. If you are a dog-loving California resident, contact your lawmaker.

CAMP March Newsletter: Page4
Clarkson's Spinoff Company, NanoScience Solutions, LLC, Awarded SBIR and STTR Grants
Professor Igor Sokolov
NanoScience Solutions (a spinoff company of Clarkson University) has been awarded a small business innovation research (SBIR) grant from the National Science Foundation and a small business technology transfer grant (STTR) from the US Air Force. The work for these projects will be carried out in collaboration with Clarkson University and led by Principal Investigator Professor Igor Sokolov, of the University's Department of Physics and its Department of Chemistry and Biomolecular Science. Sokolov is also the Director of the University's Nanoengineering and Biotechnology Laboratories Center (NABLAB).
The grant from the National Science Foundation is for the development of a novel technology that will enable the measuring of mechanical (viscoelastic) properties of soft materials with more than 100 times higher resolution and more than 100 times faster than existing instruments can do. Professor Sokolov is the co-inventor of this patented technology, which is important for the discovery of novel nanocomposite materials and for the development of new diagnostic tools for the medicine of tomorrow. It will add a new dimension to the study of the mechanics of polymers, nanocomposites, biomaterials, cells, and human tissue. In addition, this research will result in the development and production of cutting edge, commercially viable instruments.
The US Air Force grant is for the development of new bright infrared nanoparticles that absorb and emit in the infrared and lack any visible light emissions. This work can be used for a number of military applications. Also the commercial development of these nanoparticles can be directed toward biomedical applications for in vivo labeling and imaging.
CAMP Gifted Two Microscopes
Professor Yongming Liu
CAMP recently acquired two microscopes. One is an atomic force microscope (AFM), an Autoprobe M5 model, manufactured by Thermomicroscopes. This instrument provides a 3D profile of a sample's surface on a nanoscale by measuring the forces between a sharp probe (ex. < 10 nm) and the surface at a very short distance (ex. 0.2 – 10 nm probe-sample separation).
The other instrument is a JSM-6330F scanning electron microscope (SEM) that is manufactured by JEOL. It is similar to an existing SEM at CAMP. This particular instrument includes some special options such as a field emission gun for the electron source, airlock for bulk or large diameter sample loading, and automation of the X and Y stage movement via joystick control.

My family has made these schnecken for most every holiday for as long as I can remember. Schnecken, which means "snails" in German, are basically pecan cinnamon buns. Once the schnecken were turned out hot from the pan and the top of the buns covered with gooey pecan caramel, the real struggle began—fighting my seven siblings for first crack at our favorite piece. It might have been the first time I realized that my rotundness and arm length gave me a distinct advantage over my sisters as I groped for the warm center of this classic pull-apart bun with cinnamon. After the center pieces were gone, I went for the ultra-caramelized golden brown corners.
It's convenient to prepare the schnecken to the point of forming the rolls and setting them into the prepared pan a day ahead. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and store them, unbaked, in the refrigerator overnight. When you're ready to bake the schnecken, remove the pan from the refrigerator and set it in a warm place for about an hour. Then bake as directed in the recipe.–Tom Douglas
LC When The Schnecken Beckons... Note
If you've yet to see the comedy flick The Birdcage, the phrase "When the schnecken beckons" will mean nothing to you. If, on the other hand, you're quite well versed in the cult classic, the following video clip will require no introduction or explanation.
Pecan Cinnamon Buns
- Quick Glance
- Makes 12 to 14 schnecken
- For the dough
- 1 stick (4 ounces) unsalted butter, plus more for the bowl and pan
- 1 cup (8 1/2 ounces) whole milk
- 5 tablespoons (2 1/4 ounces) granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoons active dry yeast
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt (or substitute 3/4 teaspoon table salt)
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg yolk
- 3 to 3 1/2 cups (13 1/2 to 15 1/2 ounces) all-purpose flour, plus more for the work surface
- For the pecan topping
- 1 1/2 sticks (6 ounces) unsalted butter
- 3/4 cup (4 1/2 ounces) packed brown sugar (light or dark)
- 1/4 cup (3 ounces) light corn syrup
- 3/4 cup (3 ounces) chopped pecans
- For the cinnamon sugar filling
- 4 tablespoons (2 ounces) unsalted butter
- 1 cup (7 ounces) granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- Make the dough
- 1. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the milk and sugar and heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar, just until the mixture is lukewarm [about 110°F (43°C)]. Pour the warm milk mixture into a bowl and stir in the yeast. Allow the mixture to rest for 10 minutes.
- 2. Stir the salt into the yeast mixture. Beat the whole egg and egg yolk together and add it to the yeast mixture. Stir in the flour, 1 cup at a time, until you have a sticky dough. Scrape the dough out onto a floured work surface and knead for about 5 minutes, until you have a nice, smooth dough. Butter a large bowl and gently plop the dough in the bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in a warm place to allow the dough to rise for 2 hours, until tripled in volume.
- 3. Meanwhile, brush a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with some melted butter.
- Make the pecan topping
- 4. Melt the butter with the brown sugar and corn syrup in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring to combine. Remove the pan from the heat and pour the mixture in the bottom of the pan, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle with the chopped pecans.
- Make the cinnamon sugar filling and assemble the rolls
- 5. Gently punch down the dough and turn it onto a lightly floured work surface. Knead for 1 minute. Use a lightly floured rolling pin to roll the dough into a rectangle about 15 by 12 inches and an 1/8 inch thick.
- 6. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Let it cool slightly and then brush the butter over the surface of the dough. In a bowl, mix together the sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle the cinnamon mixture evenly over the melted butter. Roll the rectangle up like a jelly roll, beginning at one long edge.
- 7. Slice the rolled dough into 1-inch-thick slices and arrange them in the prepared pan, laying the slices flat on a cut side. Cover the pan with a piece of plastic wrap and let it rest in a warm place for about 40 minutes.
- 8. Preheat the oven to 350°F (176°C).
- 9. Bake the schnecken until golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through the baking time. Check the rolls occasionally during the baking time, and if they seem to be browning too quickly, loosely cover them with aluminum foil.
- 10. Place the pan on a wire rack to cool for 5 to 10 minutes. While the rolls are still warm, invert the pan onto a large platter or baking sheet. If any of the ooey gooey pecan caramel topping sticks to the pan, simply scrape it onto the tops of the rolls. Serve warm.
If you make this recipe, snap a photo and hashtag it #LeitesCulinaria. We'd love to see your creations on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.

Warlocks, like priests and mages, are «clothies» limited to sporting cloth gear. When you level your demonology warlock, your priority statistics in selecting gear, gems and enchantments should be intellect and hit until eventually you attain a 15 % hit cap, the stage at which all of your spells will essentially hit your target as opposed to having a specific percentage miss. Up coming, reforge any extra hit and vital strike factors on your gear to haste to reach the soft cap of 12.five %. As your gear continues to enhance, concentrate on intellect and mastery until eventually you are able to attain the following haste cap of 25 %. When you have full heroic tier gear, reforge to 37 % haste with mastery as your 2nd priority. york mulberry factory shop http://www.mykdent.com/scripts/home.asp?mulberry=york-mulberry-factory-shop-90sc.php

Serve appetizers, entrees and desserts which has a decidedly scary touch. As an example, make blood drinks by blending raspberry sherbet with lemon lime soda, and stirring in red food coloring. Make finger meals like finger hot dogs by wrapping a biscuit dough around a hot dog and baking it. Minimize slits on a single side within the baked dough as well as a fingernail shaped part at the tip within the hot dog. Include a drop of mustard onto the part and place a nail shaped onion towards the spot. For dinner, produce a chocolate sheet cake for dessert, including wafer cookies towards the major of it immediately after it truly is frosted so it looks like a graveyard. small mulberry bayswater http://www.tootcakes.com/images/home.asp?mulberry=small-mulberry-bayswater-56cj.php
