Neither Watergate nor Gee Dee Nen have shown much lately but both have a chance at the weights on their best form. Sablazo has two ways of running but could also play a part and makes more appeal than Owner Occupier and Tchang Goon, the latter racing from 6lb out of the handicap. CHESTNUT BEN started a short-priced favourite on both occasions that AP McCoy rode him last season, winning at Hereford just over a year ago. He's probably needed both runs this term and could well come back to form here. Lady Willa is 3lb lower than for her last success but stopped quickly at Lingfield last week.

Halifax-based Health QR, whose mobile app helps people to manage their prescriptions, has received a $250,000 seed investment from Innovacorp, which will help to bring its product to market.
The Health QR app reminds people when to take their drugs, when they should refill, and tells them why the drugs are important. The free app, which can be downloaded from the App Store and Google Play, connects securely to participating pharmacies.
The reminder to take medicine is important because non-adherence to prescriptions is a big problem in the pharma and healthcare industries. Half of all patients are said to not complete their prescriptions. Health QR said poor adherence causes a significant number of medication-related hospitalizations and accounts for $100 billion in annual healthcare costs.
"The investment from Innovacorp will take us to the next level," said President and CEO Patricia Ryan in a statement. "We have completed pilot product testing with Compass Pharmacies [of] Halifax, and are actively selling our product to Atlantic Canadian pharmacies. This investment will enable us to follow through with our commercialization plan."
When Health QR held its official launch in November, Ryan said she was taking it through the Canadian Technology Accelerator in Philadelphia, which specializes in health-related IT companies. And she is spending more time in Ontario with the healthcare community surrounding McMaster University in Hamilton.
Health QR is developing new features that will allow prescription customers to track their medication adherence on a dashboard. It is also working on workflow efficiencies to support pharmacies adopting new services.
CarbonCure Lands $1.75M in Funding
The company's system now interfaces with Kroll Computer Systems' pharmacy software platform,
which supports about half of Canadian pharmacies and houses all of the sensitive customer prescription
information. Health QR is developing a solution to integrate with other pharmacy software
programs, including McKesson's PharmaClik Rx. With access to prescription data, Health QR's technology can relay accurate instructions to prescription customers without requiring them to manually input critical medical directions.
"Health QR is developing marketable medication adherence solutions by collaborating with industry stakeholders and patient groups," said Gregory Phipps, managing director of investment at Innovacorp. "Health QR is well positioned to help solve what's arguably the single biggest issue facing the pharmaceutical industry and Innovacorp is excited to support them in their future success."

Flight 9 provides first-class creative solutions, delivered clearly and professionally.
Initial Meeting
No matter where you're located, we'll start with a no-pressure, no-cost meeting or conversation to find out what you need and help you clarify your objectives.
Our office is located in Brighton's 12 Corners area, convenient to anyone in the greater Rochester region. We are also happy to travel to your location anywhere in Western New York. For clients in other regions, or those who are overseas, we are adept at managing relationships and projects through phone, email and video conferencing.
Once we have a reasonably clear idea about your project's parameters, we'll create a concise, thorough proposal for you that provides a customized plan and fee structure to fit your specific needs and vision. All of our proposals are negotiable until a project has started.
Concepting Phase
Before we dive into your project, we will typically work with you to formulate a creative brief that summarizes key points about the direction that will be taken. This helps us deepen our understanding beyond what was discussed at the initial meeting and ensures that everyone's expectations are aligned.
Based on the creative brief, we will then work on initial concepts that will be presented to you in order to establish the direction of the project. We pride ourselves on having an impressive ability to communicate the ideas we are presenting in a way that is logical and relatable, even to those who may not have worked with creative pros before. You should feel safe knowing that the work we are doing for you is being undertaken with great care, individualized focus, and design knowledge that is rooted in many years of experience.
After initial concepts have been narrowed down, and the creative direction of your project has been established, we will edit and refine the project through a process of collaboration. As your co-pilots, we will advise you at every step, with the final creative decisions being yours.
Sometimes the parameters of a project change during the course of development, usually based on new requests by the client. When this happens, we'll communicate with you about options and suggestions, and any adjustments that may need to be made to your original proposal, before proceeding.
Lastly, we use a robust project management system to make sure all projects stay on track, on time and front-of-mind. We promise to always be responsive and accountable in all work that we undertake.
After your site is launched, or the ink dries on your new printed piece, etc, we will keep in touch to find out how the project is being received. We love to hear your success stories!
Most of our clients continue to work with us on additional projects after our first collaboration. We are confident you will want to follow in their footsteps!

Well, here we are almost 16 months after my coworkers were killed as a direct result of Metro's negligence and there is still no NTSB report. They have released the docket however. The most recent addition is the transcript of the interview with Mr. Dukehart, the Track dept employee who was driving the hi-rail truck.
Of course we'll have to wait for the NTSB report to get all of the details, but it seems more clear than ever that Central Control (OCC) was primarily responsible for the accident. They knew that my former coworkers, Jeff Garrard and Sung Oh, were working between Rockville (A14) and Shady Grove (A15) on track 2 but failed to inform Mr. Dukehart and his crew. OCC sent them down track 2 (which is the outbound track) in reverse and against the normal flow of traffic, and did not notify Jeff & Sung. Their gross negligence and reckless disregard for the safety and well being of Metro employees resulted in two good men being killed.
Of course there were no repercussions. Hey, mistakes were made — what'r ya gonna do?
The hi-rail truck's backup alarm was disabled per Metro's request:
Q. Talking about the reverse beeper on the pick up. Just to clarify. So whenever you have the high rail gear stowed up and normal, like you were operating on the highway, and you go in the selection of reverse, the reverse beeper works?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. And if you have this piece of equipment where you have the high rail gear deployed on the — rail, and you're in a mode to go back and forth, whenever you select reverse, it does not work?
A. It does work. It does work if you're not in the rail light mode.
Q. Rail light.
A. There's a console in the front, by the front seat there, underneath the radio and the heater and all that stuff, where you can turn on individual lights.
Q. Okay.
A. And you also have to turn on — it's got an air compressor because those high rail brakes are air operated and you have a hydraulics to move your high rails up and down and then you have your strobe light and your other series of lights but one of them is called rail lights. When you push the rail lights on, your headlights go out. If you have them on, they go out and two lights in the rear come on. Then your back-up alarm does not work.
Q. Okay.
Free State Reporting, Inc. (410) 974-0947
Why Metro specifies that the alarm be disabled when the lights are on is a good question that I have yet to hear an answer to.

Ever since the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean" was released rum has become our favorite alcohol. Ok, we don't discriminate on any alcohol (except for you Mr. Wine Cooler!), but rum is really freaking good. We have always associated rum with tropical islands and what we didn't know is that you can find an exceptional rum in Laos. Rum is made from sugar cane, and Laos is covered with sugar cane fields, which makes this country a perfect environment for rum production. On our recent trip to Luang Prabang, the UNESCO heritage village, we tried LAODI, a rum made in Laos by a Japanese man.
According to their website, what makes LAODI rum special is the fresh water from the Mekong river, which irrigates the land where their sugar cane grows. Only 3% of rum production comes from pure sugar cane, which makes LAODI a very small distillery with a unique taste. They also claim that because unlike other commercial rum, which is made with molasses, their rum won't give you a nasty hangover, which we have, um... thoroughly tested and can confirm is true.
We first learned of LAODI rum at the Luang Prabang night market, where you can have a free tasting. The sales lady kept pouring generous shots of every rum and we left buying two of their classic bottles of rum: BROWN and WHITE. Our favorite, however was their COCONUT flavored rum. It is tasty just to sip on and you can imagine that it would the best liquor to add to any "beach/summer" inspired cocktail with pineapple or milk. Other flavors of infused rum include: passionfruit, sugarcane, coffee and plum.
Although Laos is a very beautiful, laid back country with a unique culture and some of the best foods we have tasted, if that doesn't get you excited, just know that LAODI rum is reason enough to visit.
Unfortunately, we didn't have a chance to go to the distillery, but we have heard that the tour is great. If you are in the area here, is the address:

Dalits lay siege to Social Welfare office
Chikkaballapur, Mar 19, 2012, DHNS :
The protesters want tainted officers transferred; Police remain mute spectators
Members of various Dalit association attempted to lock the office of
the Social Welfare as part of their protest in the City on Monday.
people power: Police try to restrain members of Dalit organisations
who attempted to lock the District Social Welfare office in
Chikkaballapur on Monday. (Above) Members of the Dalit organisations
block the road in the city in protest. dh photosThe protesters alleged
that the government and the district administration has neglected the
development work in the district.
Tension prevailed on the premises for a while. When the protest was
intensified, the police had to take control of the situation.
Police action
The police tried to prevent the protesters from locking the office,
following which the members of the association blocked the roads for
more than two hours which resulted in an extreme chaos.
The commuters fell prey to the situation as the chaos resulted in
traffic congestion, as the protesters refused to compromise on the
means of the protest.
Due to this, there was heavy police patrolling in an around the office.
The City police tightened the security on the premises of Social
Welfare Office on Sunday acting on the information that the District
Vigilance Committee Dalit Sangharsha Samithi, Dalit Women's Union,
Dalit Student's Union and other associations are going to take out a
protest. Barricades were also erected.
On Monday,additional number of police personnel were deployed to
tackle the protesters who arrived at the spot beating drums as part of
their protest. After half an hour, they tried to barge into the
office, after which the police personnels took charge of the
Activists of the Dalit Sangharsh Samithi, K C Rajakantha and Venkatesh
put forward their demands and complaints. There was a tiff between the
police and the protesters.
The protesters were heard shouting slogans: "Unless the doors of the
office are locked, we will not withdraw the protest. The tainted
officers should be transferred at the earliest."
Traffic diversion
The police officials diverted the traffic to avoid congestion and
urged the protesters to withdraw the protest. When the protesters
failed to concede to the police orders, the matter was taken to the
senior officers of the district administration.
The protest was withdrawn after the Zilla Panchayat CEO B S
Shekharappa arrived at the spot and accepted the memorandum.
DySP M S Kakhandaki, Circle Inspector S Mahesh Kumar and other police
officials were present at the spot.

About a year ago I went with the exploding trend of
hand-making your own rubber stamps. It was for a
women's brunch event, though they were flung in my
cupboard after and unloved since.
And as pretty much nothing is happening with my Etsy
store, I thought I may as well make anything into
something I can haggle on there :)
So people, I have hand-printed, with my hand-made
stamps; hand-cut gift tags or labels and stuff. At the
moment its just little birdy here, but one day I might have
waay to much fun and the whole forest could be
converted into gift tags too...
But yeahs they're now on the internets. right here:

Sorry for delay/
Sunday and Monday I had a store project I needed to finish and forgot about until zero hour. All done, though. I just got back from the store (doing THIS week's books), so let's wrap LAST week by talking about all of the BOOKS you should go and pick up and your local funnybook emporium when you stroll in tomorrow.
In friendly alphabetical order (Or, at least, Alpha by Diamond listings):
B KRIGSTEIN COMICS HC: Yes it is pricey, but damnation, it's worth every penny. Krigstein was a genius, and even the slightest story in this big-ass volume is pure gold. My one quibble: despite it being in the first, biographical volume, I think they missed a big boat by not putting "The Master Race" in this edition.
BONE ONE VOLUME EDITION: Well, you probably can't buy it anyway. We got allocated at just over 1/3 of our order (*sigh*) and all of the rack copies sold out in like 10 minutes. Expect a much much longer thought on this in about a week in Tilting at Windmills over on Newsarama.... Either way, this is top notch comics by a top notch cartoonist, and some version of Bone should be in your collection. I can't wait until Ben is old enough for me to read this to him... (though, actually, it'll be the HC I'll be ordering once it is solicited. I left the SC at the store since we got allocated)
CEREBUS V 16: THE LAST DAY: End of an era, and this volume is worth it for the essay in the back, alone. Honestly, I think it explains a bit more than I had previously understood about the last few years. (Lester, read it before I come in on Friday -- should give us at least 30 minutes of conversation...) One of these days, if I ever find time, I'll write an essay about Cerebus as a complete work, but if you can find a better all-around cartoonist than Dave Sim, I'd like to meet him. The timing, the draftsmanship, the craft and care -- I don't really care if the whole thing ends on the biggest reductio ad absurdum ever, I don't really care if you don't care for his politics or his thinking (fuck, if George Bush could draw like this, I'd buy his comics too!), comics will be a poorer place for not having Dave Sim around, month-in, month-out showing us how to do it. Seriously, read Cerebus, you'll be better for it.
CRISIS ON MULTIPLE EARTHS V3 TP: Well, you know, I've always been a sucker for the JLA/JSA crossover, but, man, are these stinky-ass stories. ("TEPPY STRIKES BACK!") On the other hand, these stories suck so much they're actually great. C'mon, dude, THE HUMAN BOMB! Rocks out, with it's cock out!
FINDER V 6 MYSTERY DATE: Carla Speed McNeil is an amazing cartoonist -- kinetic yet compressed, mystical yet focused on human emotions. Why she isn't a millionaire is a mystery to me.
JIM WOODRING PUPSHAW & PUPSHAW: At $17 for what's effectively 16 panels (well, it is a Japanese import), you have to be a big Woodring fan to appreciate this. Thankfully I am. Plus I only have to pay cost, seeing how I own the store and all. But damn, if he can't draw and tell a reasonably compelling tale in those 16 panels....
KYLE BAKER, CARTOONIST V 2: An excellent companion to volume 1, though it feels a smidge light for the price point of $14.95. It's the week of excellent cartoonists, as you can see (it wasn't the comics what killed me, it was the books), and Baker is up there high in the firmament.
P. CRAIG RUSSELL'S LIBRARY OF THE OPERA V 3 HC: Yah, OK you could wait for the 6 weeks or whatever it will take for the SC to come out, I suppose, but I prefer to have a binding that will hold up for repeated rereadings. Loverly loverly stuff, and he makes the source material palatable to those of us who hate opera as it's own art form.
PAUL AUSTERS CITY OF GLASS: Finally this exquisite book of David Mazzuchelli's adapatation of the Auster story is back in print, and let me hear a fuckin' hallelujah! Despite the (very!) stiff competetition this week, this is the A #1 must have, bug-your-LCS-to-stock-it item of the week. Seriously.
POWERS V 6 THE SELL OUTS: The perhaps-ironically named first post-image volume. While it's begining to flag a bit at this point of the narrative, this is still sharper than 80% of the super-hero work on the market.
SAMURAI EXECUTIONER V1 : If you liked DH's presentation of Lone Wolf & Cub, you're also going to dig this story Koike & Kojima did before. I'm only about 10% into it, but it's reading just as well, to me.
OK, that's what I took home on the book side, at least.
See you.... tomorrow with the first part of this week's books!
(God, tomorrow already? Does this ever end?)

Today's pick from my "orto" (vegetable garden)
Someone asked me the other day how much food I typically get from my Oakland orto. Of course it varies depending on the time of the year, but during the summer I typically pick enough for family dinner every night. As an example I thought I'd show you what I picked from my garden today, July 22, 2010. I picked enough romano beans to cook and serve as a salad for dinner:
This handful of gorgeous zucchini blossoms I will save for my Saturday cooking class:
Lots of figs, both Adriatic and Black Mission, from my trees:
I also picked two cucumbers, three zucchini and two eggplants, which I will use in a pasta dish tonight.
Oh! I forgot! I even got a basketful of strawberries from our strawberry bushes:
and lots of sweet sweet Italian prunes. Take a look at how many are on just one branch!
There is a lot of satisfaction in growing your own vegetables. I hope that I have convinced some of you to give it a try, even if you have only pots on a terrace. In fact I extend my own garden by planting in pots; all my basil and hot peppers ended up in pots this year. I even put a cherry tomato plant in a pot, and take a look at it. It is the first one to have ripe tomatoes!
I also get eggs every day now. Here are the eggs just from the last three days. The beautiful blue-green ones were laid by Gelsomina, our Ameraucana chicken.
My family can almost live off our small garden during the summer months, especially now with the addition of those eggs.

Cheney Wants CIA Interrogation Memos Declassified
June 1, 2009 | By Don Larrabee
Refusal to declassify CIA memos about its interrogation practices involving detainee is "foolish ... deeply unfair and sets a dangerous precedent," former Vice President Dick Cheney said at an NPC luncheon Monday.
He said President Obama "has the authority to declassify anything he wants to. I hope he will. It needs to be out there (and) would serve a public purpose and enlighten the debate."
As he has several times in the past, Cheney attended and spoke at a luncheon to honor the recipients of the Gerald R. Ford annual prizes for distinguished reporting on national defense and the White House. Cheney was Ford's chief of staff. Kenneth Walsh of U.S. News received the prize for his White House coverage, and James Kitfield of the National Journal for defense reporting,
During questioning, Cheney said while there was no evidence that Iraq's Saddam Hussein was involved in the 9/11 attacks on the U.S., "I still think there was a strong case for war. The president made the right call. ... Any administration that doesn't deal with the (terroism) threat, I don't think is doing its job."
Asked about the New York Times publishing a "highly-classified" report on the terrorist surveillance program, despite pleas from the White House, he said the newspaper's action "damaged our security ... made our job tougher."
Asked about closing the Guantanamo Bay terrorist facility, Chaney said Obama "made a terrible mistake" promising to close it in a year and added: "It's going to be very difficult to close Guantanamo."
As to why the Bush administration had not captured Osama bin Laden, he said it would love to have done so and then added: "I don't think he has the capacity to do as much harm as he did once."
On other topics, Cheney said:
-- He is worried about the precedent being in the General Motors bankruptcy and government ownership.
-- "I don't think I would have nominated (Judge Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court). I'd like to see more conservatives on the Court ... nothing personal."
-- States ought to have the final say on legalizing the marriages of gay couples. Chaney reminded everyone that one of his daughters is gay and that "people ought to be able to enter into any kind of arrangement, (but) that it ought to be left up to the states."
-- He is busy on a memoir "to set the record straight" on the Bush-Cheney years.

Hi everyone,
We have some very important news for you regarding the Xbox and Apple TV apps.
First, there is a big update being released this Wednesday that will affect how the community can view livestreams on these devices.
Starting this week, all livestreams will now happen in a single place: RTTV. You can find the livestreams via a single URL (http://roosterteeth.com/live/rt-tv) on the desktop website or the Live aspect of our mobile apps on iOS and Android. Additionally, unlike the previous way we did livestreams, our new RTTV feed now supports Chromecast.
Unfortunately, because of this shift, RTTV is not compatible with our current Xbox and Apple TV apps. This means that the majority of all livestreams will no longer be able to be viewed on these platforms. You WILL still be able to log into your account on those platforms and all VOD (videos on demand) videos will still be available to watch.
Secondly, we are discontinuing active support for the Xbox and Apple TV apps. That means that there will be no more patches, updates, or temporary fixes to them. These apps were built on a previous iteration of RoosterTeeth.com, making updates and enhancements not possible.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns in the comment section. We'll answer them to the best of our abilities.
Thank you,

|Corn chowder and jalapeno sourdough for dinner.
This week has been an absolute roller coaster ride emotionally. Parenting teens can be really hard work! Mr 14 is currently grounded for lying, over a myriad of issues. Sleep has been minimal because he has been unhappy with his punishment and threatened to leave home.
Apparently, he thinks moving out of home is a good idea and had organised to couch surf at different friends houses. No amount of talking to him from hubby and I would change his mind and he had packed a bag on Friday morning. This absolutely broke my heart. My son and I were always so close and the fact he would do this felt like a slap in the face.
I ended up calling his school and spoke to the principal, who agreed he needs to just suck up his punishment and offered to talk to my son. This must have worked because he came home from school on Friday with apologies for his behaviour.
Some days I feel like we are dealing with a war and it will all be a miracle if we make it out of these teenage years without battle wounds.
Despite this, I kept myself busy around the house and got some things done:
-Used the carpet sweeper and broom on the floors instead of vacuuming.
-Made some garlic aioli. We had this with leftover mashed potato patties for dinner and use it in place of mayo.
-Baked bread and butter pudding with leftover hot cross buns from the freezer. Also a double batch of choc chip biscuits.
-Hubby told me we were out of shampoo so I improvised and went through my bathroom drawer full of samples. I poured all the shampoo samples into a jug, mixed well and topped up with a bit of water like it is mentioned by Mr Homemaker. I poured it back into the empty bottle and now have a "new" bottle of shampoo! I did the same with the conditioner samples and this led on to cleaning out the bathroom cupboards, drawers and even soaking and scrubbing the hairbrushes. I got a bit carried away! Then I checked my toiletries stockpile, which was where hubby had "looked" and I found 3 bottles!
-Gave Miss 17 a haircut.
-I started making my first quiet book pages. When finished, the book will be a gift. Hand sewing has really helped with my anxiety too. Its a win- win!
-Had a "camp out" in the lounge room with Mr 10. We watched movies, made pizza pockets for dinner and set up the inflatable mattresses and sleeping bags.
-Saved rain water for the vegie gardens.
-Picked more kale and silverbeet from the garden. We have so much this winter. Luckily we love kale and eat it with most meals.
-Printed out my $60 vouchers from doing surveys. These are for Chemist Warehouse and will be used to buy our medication and vitamins.
-Hubby picked up some free bread and crackers from the op shop.
Also the lovely Mimi at A Tray of Bliss posted a comment I wrote to her and what follows is a wonderful post on making our days cosy, comfortable and creative. She also has some powerful advice on ways we can insource in our homes.
Hope you have had a great week. xx

Church Farm was originally a Tudor cottage dating back to the 16th Century. The Farmhouse and outbuildings were then added in 1850.
Many of the features of the original Tudor cottage can still be witnessed in the main house.
The Church next to the Farmhouse is nearly 1000 years old and is recorded in the Doomsday book.
Church Farm was bought as a family home in 1988 and in 1997 a number of the stables were converted into guest accommodation.
Four remaining stables on the opposite side of the courtyard house our resident horses, Bertie, Sailor, Belle and Sandy.

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Actress Kim Novak, best known for her starring role in the 1958 classic "Vertigo," has been diagnosed with breast cancer, her manager said.
"It was caught early by a routine yearly mammogram and is undergoing treatment," Sue Cameron told the Hollywood Reporter. "All her doctors say she is in fantastic physical shape and should recover very well."
Novak, 77, also held notable roles in "Picnic," "Pal Joey" and "Bell, Book and Candle." She last appeared in "Liebestraum" in 1991, but her scenes were cut after she battled with its director.
Cameron said Novak works out three times a week with a trainer and rides horses daily. She lives in Oregon with her husband, Dr. Robert Malloy.

I just received news of a very favorable review by Frederik H. Green of my book, Mu Shiying: China's Lost Modernist, for the e-journal MCLC. The review may be found on this web page.
Time to celebrate with a night on the town, once I've recovered from this head cold I caught whilst on a company retreat in Moganshan. James Farrer is in town now, and we have some more follow-up research to do for our upcoming book, Shanghai Nightscapes!

While some people may look at a post in a log home and say to themselves "well that's just a log", we see things a little differently here at Log N Iron. In fact, like you, we know that while that "log" serves as an important function within a home or structure, we also know that each log can have its own unique beauty as well. Which is why, at Log N Iron, we offer multiple combinations of different wood species, profiles, finishes, and styling to make sure that each log component lives up to its real beauty and potential. So whether it's a rafter supporting a roof, a joist bearing a floor, or a purlin tying trusses together; We'll make sure that, not only will you be getting the kind of strength and brawn that is needed for your specific application, but also the kind of character and beauty that you and your home demand. Available in multiple species of wood with variable profiles (i.e. from square to round). Custom notching to fit most any application. See our Log N Timber section below for more ideas and uses for our custom logs & timber products.
How big can we go?
Pretty darn big!
We can source and process the perfect logs or timbers for your specific needs including:
Milled logs up to 30' in length and 16" in diameter
- Hand hewn logs with a consistent diameter up to 40' in length
- Timbers of all sides up to 42' in length
- Natural and hand peeled logs up to 24" diameters and lengths as long as we can haul down the road
- We are not limited 100% to these lengths. It took some doing, but we have sawn a single timber 64' long!
Log N Timber
Architectural Features
Structural or decorative, we can provide many types of architectural features for your log home including round, straight, and radius Y-bracing We can also provide architectural timber work such as sconches and support corbels. Another popular feature are large outside vertical corners and corners cutout for odd decree angles, prow corners. Contact us today to start your dream project!
Log Rafters are the epitome of brawn and beauty. Their grand appearance can add a lot of character to a room and will undoubtedly demand attention from anyone who sees them. Furthermore, their simple design gives the room a more open and airy effect, as apposed to a conventional truss. Whether you're envisioning something decorative or structural, check out the options below to see what style rafter best fits your space.
Flare Bottom Logs
Are you looking for a rustic and natural look for your log home? Flare bottom logs can really bring nature indoors with their "untouched" look. Flare bottom logs are great for character posts, beam wraps & bar or table legs. We would be happy to help source the perfect flare bottom log for your needs.
Whether you're looking to give the end of your staircase railing some extra character or you need a classic and uniform look for a wrap-around porch, Log N Iron has you covered. Our posts come in all shapes and sizes and can be customized to just about any stretch of the imagination. Furthermore, Log N Iron has the knowledge and experience to make sure you're getting the right post for the job. Check out the various styles below.
Another technique that allows for a vaulted ceiling effect is through the use of purlins. With Log N Iron purlins, you can enjoy the same open and airy feeling you get with the rafter design, the only difference is that the logs/timbers run parallel with the roof line rather than perpendicular. Consider the different options below and see which combinations best fit your plans.
At Log N Iron we understand the beauty of exposed log and timber. This especially holds true for our floor and ceiling joists because, while it might be easy to overlook a simple floor or ceiling in your home, a series of structural or decorative joists can be an integral part of your home's log or timber theme. Check out the samples below to see which styles go best with your space.
Finish Options
Our milled logs are cut, processed, and fitted to ensure a consistent assembly every time. Also, with a milled profile, you're getting the beauty and character that every exposed log will reveal while still maintaining a uniform style that will tie in well with most any home or decor.
Hand Hewn
Our custom, hand hewn logs can add some old world charm to your brand new home or addition. In fact, you can't get a more old fashion or authentic touch with any other profile. And unlike other manufacturers, Log N Iron delivers the consistency and fit of the milled Swedish cope, with the rustic exterior of a hand hewed log.
Hand Peeled
With a hand peeled profile, you're exposing all the natural characteristics and undisturbed beauty a log has to offer. These logs are preserved the way Mother Nature intended them. In fact, between the knots, tones, and natural taper, you're experiencing a log in its rawest and most organic form.
Rough Sawn
If you are looking for a truly old fashion look then a rough-sawn timber is the way to go. This style is so reminiscent of pioneer days you might just think you've traveled back to the gold rush era. Full of saw marks and rough edges, you'll fully appreciate the authentic look of this profile.

What are Bunions?
Did you know that close to five million people in the U.S. have bunions? Bunions are bony bumps on the outer base of the big toe. They begin to formulate when the toe is forced inwards or extends over the closest toe. When the big toe remains in this awkward position for longer periods of time, a bunion starts to grow. Eventually, bunions become very large and make your foot look deformed. In addition, bunions are usually very painful.
Normally, bunions also cause unsightly calluses, bursitis, and other foot sores. The constant rubbing and bumping can eventually cause deformity in other toes, too.
How to Treat Bunions
You should remember that prevention is the best way to treat bunions. Early detection is another key. The worst that you can do is to allow the bones to start realigning in your feet. Try these tips to help treat and prevent bunions:
- Wear Comfortable Shoes - Shoes that crowd your feet should be avoided. Wear shoes that aren't too tight to prevent forcing your big toe to rub and push against your other toes.
- Use orthotics that are designed to control the abnormal forces that cause excessive flattening of the foot, or excessive high arch deformities
- Get Rid of High Heeled Shoes - Women can be their own worst enemy when it comes to bunions. High heels force pressure on your toes, and should be avoided. The same goes for pointed shoes that are too tight on your toes. High heels accelerate the deformity
- Surgery - If your toes are deformed from bunions, your only option to stop the pain and get your toes looking normal again is to have surgery. Talk with you're the foot and ankle specialists at InMotion Foot and Ankle, and find out what your options are.
Bunions aren't just downright ugly; they can also be very painful and can lead to arthritis. Contact Talus InMotion Foot & Ankle today to discuss what your best options are to manage your bunions.

The Clostridium botulinum A str. ATCC 19397 genome is provided in 1 piece of sequence ( CP000726 ) representing a total of 3552 transcripts. These sequences have been analized for their GC content as this is an important parameter for probe design. The average GC content of these coding sequences is 28%, with a minimum and a maximum of 12% and 54% respectively. Ninety percent of these sequences have a GC content comprised between 22%and 35%. These values have been used to set OligoArray options during design. Here is the parameter set used for this particular design.
This database contains 9491 oligonucleotides to represent the Clostridium botulinum A str. ATCC 19397
transcriptome. Among these 9491 oligonucleotides, 8568 are considered
to be fully specific to their targets according to the design parameters described
above. In other terms, this database provides oligonucleotides for
3456 transcripts and 3256 (91% of all sequences)
have at least one specific oligo representing them. The figure below gives details on the number of CDS with specific probes.
Understanding this graph:
In the best case, you want the proportion of black and red genes to be as small as possible. Black ones are the genes with no probe at all. These genes will always be missing on your array. Red ones are the sequences for which OligoArray was not able to find a specific probes. However, it reported a non-specific probe. Our thresholds to define specific probes are quite conservative and many non-specific probes will actually prove to be specific in a real experiment. All other genes (blue, yellow and green) have at least one specific probe. While the number of genes with 3 specific probes may vary greatly from an organism to another, this may have little effect on your microarray design. Indeed, many will prefer to have one probe per gene, this probe being replicated several times on the array rather than having several probes per gene with less replicates.
Here we report the transcripts that do not have any oligonucleotide at all or any specific oligonucleotides.
With all these data in mind, you may want to access to the oligonucleotide
page where you can download a microarray probe set representing the coding sequences of Clostridium botulinum A str. ATCC 19397.

text: I love black and white photography in portraiture. There are no distractions, only 256 tones, and it looks clean, simple and has a great visual impact. It all depends on the type of portraiture, but most portraits look best in black and white. Below is a short video showing my Youtube channel though, and I will be creating more full length in depth tutorials, so make sure you check it out! I took this photo some time ago. I am currently revisiting my older work and re-edit some of the photos. I love photo retouching, I love giving my work new fresh look, and every photographer should review their portfolio once in a while. I do it almost every 6 month to a year, as my skills in editing and vision and style evolve. It is good to keep your photography portfolio up to date and consistent, so the clients know what to expect and they are not getting confused by contradicting styles.

It's Miami's aquatic equivalent of "Free Mumia." Activists hold protests and send urgent e-manifestos. But they succeed in swaying all but the two guys who could do anything about it. And Lolita, Miami Seaquarium's long-captive orca, goes on munching chum and belly-flopping in her bathtublike tank.
The 38-year-old killer whale has sparked controversy since she was first sold to Seaquarium for $6,000 in 1970 after being snatched from her family pod in Puget Sound — a practice now effectively banned there. Lolita's defenders decry not only confining such an intelligent marine mammal, but also the size of her tank, which is less than two of her body lengths wide at any point. "That's like living your whole life in your closet," activist Shelby Proie says.
As Lolita nears 40, there's a renewed push for her "retirement," especially as Seaquarium touts a new $5 million swimming-with-dolphins facility, making the rickety killer whale tank seem like a marketing afterthought. Activists want to see her moved to a sea pen, where it is hoped she might eventually re-join family. And the movement has gained some celebrity friends: Hollywood producer Raul Julia-Levy, son of the late actor Raul Julia, recently told Newsweek he was planning a benefit concert for Lolita, with Snoop Dogg and 50 Cent onboard.
Lolita the whale
It better be soon. Lolita is elderly by captive standards. "She probably has another five years in there, at most," Proie says. "She's tired."
If you like this story, consider signing up for our email newsletters.

Seaquarium's management is underwhelmed. "There's nothing new to the story, from our perspective," says Michelle Palomino, spokesperson for the Virginia Key puddle collection.
Adds saccharine-sweet Seaquarium general manager Andrew Hertz: "Lolita will remain at Seaquarium surrounded by people who love and protect her."
Feeling masochistic and plum out of nipple clamps, Riptide decided to play Humbert Humbert. So we headed to Seaquarium and paid $43 for parking and entry, but passed on the seven-dollar Coke in a souvenir cup. After watching spandex-clad volunteers ride sea mammals around a tank to "Surfin' U.S.A.," we skulked over to Lolita's stadium. While the meager crowd mostly cheered the flopping whale, Wanda Campbell left midshow, trailing her young son. "It's just sort of sad, isn't it?" she said.

Strategy Page, Nov. 30, 2010
This is a sad day for America. The Senate just passed S510, the so-called 'Food Safety Modernization Act', which, as with so many Orwellian-titled pieces of legislation, does not improve food safety, but rather it marks the beginning of food tyranny in America by adopting Codex Alimentarius. This draconian bill fails on moral, social, economic, political, constitutional, and human survival grounds. Here is what it will do:
1. It puts all US food and all US farms under Homeland Security and the Department of Defense.
2. It would end US sovereignty over its own food supply by insisting on compliance with the WTO.
3. It would allow the government, under Maritime Law, to define the introduction of any food into commerce (even direct sales between individuals) as smuggling.
4. It imposes Codex Alimentarius on the US, a global system of control over food.
5. It would remove the right to clean, store and thus own seeds in the US.
6. It includes NAIS, an animal traceability program that threatens all small farmers and ranchers raising animals.
7. It extends a failed and destructive HACCP to all food, thus threatening to do to all local food production and farming what HACCP did to meat production
8. It deconstructs what is left of the American economy.
9. It would allow the government to mandate antibiotics, hormones, slaughterhouse waste, pesticides and GMOs.
10. It uses food crimes as the entry into police state power and control. The bill postpones defining all the regulations to be imposed; postpones defining crimes to be punished, postpones defining penalties to be applied. It removes fundamental constitutional protections from all citizens in the country, making them subject to a corporate tribunal with unlimited power and penalties, and without judicial review.
Do you have a condition or disease that you treat with alternative medicine such as herbs or homeopathic solutions? Under this legislation, your medicines can, and no doubt will, be banned. Good luck.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — The U.S. dollar pared losses against other major currencies on Monday, as investors considered when the Federal Reserve may begin to scale back its bond-buying program.
The ICE dollar index DXY, -0.02%, a measure of the U.S. unit against six other currencies, declined to 80.774 on Monday, struggling back from an intraday low of 80.565. On Friday afternoon, the index traded at 80.824.
Last week, the index fell 0.6% after Janet Yellen vigorously defended the Fed's bond buying, saying the benefits of the program outweigh the costs. Yellen is nominated to take over leadership of the central bank from Chairman Ben Bernanke at the beginning of the new year.
The Fed currently buys $85 billion in Treasury and mortgage debt each month in an effort to stimulate the economy, and those purchases have been understood to weigh on the dollar.
"The investment climate is characterized by the continued accommodative monetary stance by the three key central banks: the Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank and the Bank of Japan," wrote analysts at Brown Brothers Harriman in a note to clients.
This week's economic data are unlikely "to alter the widespread understanding that the ECB and BOJ may take more measures later and that the Federal Reserve is likely maintain the current course until at least the end of [the first quarter in 2014]," they said.
On Monday, New York Fed President William Dudley said anemic economic growth could give way to stronger growth over the next few years.
The data are "still not providing much support for a significantly stronger [U.S. dollar] story," said Alan Ruskin, global head of G10 foreign-exchange strategy at Deutsche Bank, in a note Monday.
The WSJ Dollar Index BUXX, -0.01%, a rival gauge that pits the greenback against a broader basket of currencies, fell to 73.19 on Monday, hitting an intraday low of 73.03, from 73.26 on Friday.
The euro EURUSD, +0.0635% rose to $1.3506 from Friday's $1.3493, while the dollar USDJPY, +0.17% fell to 99.90 Japanese yen from ¥100.19 on Friday.
The British pound GBPUSD, -0.0080% declined slightly to $1.6098. Earlier in the day, it had traded as high as $1.6148.
In other news, bitcoin soared to record highs on Monday as the Senate held a hearing on the virtual currency.

The Winter has been extreme and I have heard it said that our ground is frozen six feet deep. Is the Winter Wheat going to live through the cold? According to the NDAWN Site (North Dakota Agricultural Weather Network) our soil temperatures are around 25 degrees Fahrenheit.
Ground freezes hardest and deepest in the open where it is unprotected by snow. Snow cover provides a blanket of warmth on the ground. How can that be? After all, snow is pretty cold stuff. Snow is insulation on the land and holds heat in the ground. Near the trees on the above photo, there appears to be adequate snow cover for Winter Wheat to survive.
The snow is not evenly distributed over the land. We had cold temperatures before the snow arrived. Winter Wheat is most vulnerable to injury during the cold snaps that occur this time of year. As the sun becomes stronger, the snow on the fields begin to melt. Thinly covered portions of the fields lose their snow cover quickly, the dark soil absorbs the sun's rays, and the plants begin to come to life believing the season has changed. When the weather then turns extremely cold, as it often does this time of year, the plant can be damaged if the crown freezes.
Do you remember that in Spring of 2013 most of the Winter Wheat failed to establish a sufficient stand?
We watched and deliberated for two months before our crop consultant told us it was time to dig it up. We then replanted the fields to corn.
Last Fall we again planted Winter Wheat and it established well. The Winter wheat that is lush and healthy going into Winter has proved tough enough to come through with a crop in the past. Hardy varieties have been developed for our climate.
It is too early in the season to know what is going on in our snow covered fields.
Along with a little fretting, Hope Springs eternal in GriggsDakota.

It's been quite a long time since Hideo Nakata's last Ringu installment, which was "Ring 2" from the year 2005. And which wasn't good, though not as bad as "Spiral - The Ring 2". Just to inject some more confusion, there is another movie called "Ringu 2" which was made by Nakata since "Spiral - The Ring 2" wasn't accepted by audiences. It seems that one must have studied rocket science to understand the Japanese versioning of movies since there is an even bigger mess when it comes to the "Ju-on" franchise.
Anyway, there wasn't that much left of Ringu to be ruined, hence the reviews claiming that Tsutomu Hanabusa's "Sadako 3D" ruined it are clearly exaggerating. Still, Ringu is regarded the flagship of J-horror, as is proven by exhibit A, the t-shirt I purchased for last Halloween:
Exhibit A: Ringu T-Shirt
So I was looking forward to "Sadako 3D", though I had a bad feeling about the "3D". I can see how 3D works for action based movies like "Final Destination", but for atmospheric, creepy horror it must be a distraction. And so it is for "Sadako". Every scene has been arranged to show off the three dimensions. Every effect is like glass shards in the foreground, background, everywhere, hands coming out of the screen, and so forth. There are scenes where people are talking, but they are pushed to the background just so one can see another person in the foreground. It doesn't make sense, but hey, the depth! It's like the movie is constantly yelling at you "Look at me, I'm 3D!". I yell back: "I know, but I don't care, and I'm watching in 2D anyway!".
As for the plot, there's nothing to write home about. An annoying young artist wants to bring Sadako back to life, and part of his plan is an Internet video of his that kills its viewers. It's quite simple, but "Sadako" wants to make sure that really, really everyone understands the plot, so it lets the protagonists explain it again and again. There is a police detective who appears to be there just for that purpose, to have the plot explained to him or to explain it to others.
What is not explained though is the occurrence of multiple creatures that all look like a mix of Sadako and a monster from the "Alien" franchise. And then, as if 3D wasn't enough, there is an overuse of computer graphics. The problem with CGI is that it is always sterile and thus ruins any sense of creepiness. But that's what you get for attacking people through video technology, Sadako! Eventually, technology strikes back and demolishes you!
Rating: 3 out of 10 dimensions I could have done without.

A Little Gentle Flogging
I would normally agree that the term "Kafkaesque" is overused. But I can't for the life of me think of anything more appropriate to describe what's going on in Malaysia's immigration saga. Think of In The Penal Colony ... and you'll get the point.
A little recap may be order for those of you who've not been following. Last year the Malaysian authorities decided to expel hundreds of thousands of undocumented migrant workers, mainly drawn from Indonesia and the Philippines. The usual xenophobic nonsense is used to justify the move. Then on 26 December the earthquake-tsunami catastrophe strikes – devastating Aceh, killing hundreds of thousands and making millions homeless and jobless. The Malaysian government pushes on with its deportation plans though the deadline is moved in response to pleas from the Indonesian and Philippine governments and Malaysian NGOs. The punishments for over-stayers are, by any account, draconian: fines, imprisonment and floggings. The 1 March deadline arrives with few having already left the country while many migrants go into hiding. Malaysian government spokesmen go on record to say that even asylum seekers and refugees will be targeted in contravention of the country's international legal undertakings. Over the last month perhaps 500,000 workers have been forced out. And now comes this.
The same politicians who ordered the deportations are now convening a cabinet meeting to discuss ... the labour shortage in crucial sectors of the economy: factories, restaurants, construction sites and palm oil plantations where many Malaysians simply don't want to work. So they're now turning their attention to recruiting from South Asia and especially from Pakistan. But some critics are worried that the new migrant workers may have Islamist links to al-Qaeda. This one could run and run.
Meanwhile, Malaysia's executioners and floggers are about to see their performance-related pay rise by over 300%. As the BBC puts it:
With threats to flog an estimated half a million illegal migrants thought to be hiding in Malaysia, prison officers could be in for a major windfall.In case you're thinking of applying for a job I'd better give you the new improved rates: 10 ringgit ($2.60) for each blow with the bamboo rotan – and foreigners convicted of immigration offences can be given up to six beatings. Nice work if you can get it. But be warned, according to the prison service the competition is tough:
flogging jobs are hotly contested, with only one in five applicants being accepted. The service says only hardened staff are suitable.In case migrant workers are trembling at the prospect of overpaid psychopaths beating ten shades of crap out of them they should just chill a little:
[T]he government has stressed that illegal migrants will be flogged gently.Where's the little Bohemian scribbler when you need him?

Narrative Optical Illusions Painted by Rob Gonsalves
Canadian artist Robert Gonsalves explores childlike stories of wonder through his surrealist paintings, capturing peeks of one's internal daydreams through dual scene optical illusions. The works express both the real and the imaginative, painting a space where one can explore beyond physical limits. In his pieces inspired by the work of MC Escher and Magritte, subjects discover secret gardens hidden in carpets, forests just beyond the border of living rooms, and castles in misty lagoons. You can view more of Gonsalves paintings on Facebook. (via Booooooom)

New Laser-Cut Wood Illustrations by Martin Tomsky
Inspired by the relics of his parents' past as Czech publishers and book smugglers, Martin Tomsky (previously) produces laser-cut illustrations that introduce depth with several layers of plywood in varying tones. Originally immersed in drawing detailed scenes on paper, Tomsky transferred his skills to the 3D, creating stories that seem tangled in lore and feature the outlines of animal skeletons, dense forestry, and mythical beasts.
The London-based artist aims to create work that speaks to craft, illustration, and sculpture, each piece serving as both a decorative object and wall-mounted story. Although many of his works are large and intricate productions, he also works small, singling out animal characters like owls, rabbits, and badgers in necklace pendants and brooches. You can see more of Tomsky's laser-cut tales on his Etsy and Facebook page here.

The Storybook Fantasies of Dara Scully
The world of Spanish artist Dara Scully is filled with childlike fantasy, her photos blending the lines between fact and fiction, each loaded with rich narrative potential. Acting frequently as the protagonist, Scully places herself in a world where bicycles are strapped to hot air balloons, where she parties with miniature elephants, and has adventures rivaling those of Alice in Wonderland. I can only hope an enterprising children's book publisher will reach out to her soon. Follow along via Flickr. (thnx, dara!)
