Thanks to everyone who read the first Favorite Things – In the Kitchen! Here are a few of your favorites.
- Magic Bullet – Michelle. She says she can't remember the last time she used her blender. I agree, I especially like that you can make a single serve smoothie precisely to your liking. You can often find it on sale for $30 (25% off) at Canadian Tire.
- Pampered Chef Potato Masher, $11.50 – Michelle. One word. Magical.
- Soda Stream, about $100 – Pam. This handy device carbonates water. You no longer have to lug heavy drink bottles home, your trash production decreases, you cut down your consumption of pop, and you can enjoy lots of fizzy drinks. I would avoid the Soda Stream flavourings (they don't taste quite right) and stick to lemon, lime or any other fruit juice.
- Cusinart 4 cup chopper/grinder, $60 – Debbie. It's brilliant for chopping onions, jalapenos and herbs.
- Immersion Blender – Debbie. Great for soup!
- Chocolate Avocado Pudding – Debbie. What? Chocolate-avocado? This vegan recipe replaces whipped cream with avocado, for a healthy alternative to a rich dessert.
Note: We weren't paid or perked to name any of these products, they really are just our favorites!

Spring Game Activities Slated For April 25
April 3, 2009
SEATTLE - With the Washington football program's annual Spring Game a little more than three weeks away, the Husky athletic department is busy making plans for a series of events that will make the event more than just a game.
The annual game is scheduled for Saturday, April 25 at 1 p.m. in Husky Stadium. While new coach Steve Sarkisian has not determined the game's format, he does promise to make it 'as much of a game as our personnel will allow.' It will be broadcast live on KJR 950 AM and will feature live online coverage on GoHuskies.com.
The athletic department will begin the day at 10 a.m. with a surplus sale of items it has accumulated over the last couple of years. Among the inventory available for purchase will be game-worn uniforms, new and gently used athletic shoes and cleats and various sports-related pieces of equipment.
At 11 a.m., the Big 'W' Club will have a special tailgate for its membership and their families near the climbing rock in the E-12 parking lot on the South side of the stadium. More than 150 former athletes are expected to attend. Former athletes are encouraged to contact the Big 'W' Club at (206) 543-3013 for more information.
For fans still deciding on football season tickets, the Husky Ticket Office will conduct an 'Open House' to answer questions, provide tours and provide the opportunity to see which seats in the stadium are available for sale. Contact the ticket office at (206) 543-2200 for more information.
In past years, the department has conducted the 'Husky Football Experience,' a youth clinic on the Husky Stadium turf prior to the spring game. This year, a special 'Husky Kid Zone' will be open on the East Practice Field - adjacent to the stadium - with youth-related activities. Unlike years' past, no RSVP is required to attend. In the event there is inclement weather, the Kid Zone will be moved into the Dempsey Indoor.
During the game and at halftime, the Husky Band will perform and the Husky Team Shop will be available to provide officially licensed merchandise for sale. The University of Washington Alumni Association (UWAA) will also be at the game with special member appreciation activities.
After the game, the new coaching staff and every player will be available to meet with fans on the Husky Stadium field.
In a change from past years, the annual 'Spring Fling' weekend, which encompasses a series of special promotions around a number of UW spring home sporting events, has been moved to Saturday, May 2. On that day, fans can receive free admission to all UW athletic events.
May 2 will begin with the 10 a.m. Windermere Cup, a traditional Opening Day regatta featuring some of the best rowing teams from around the world competing against the Huskies. At 2 p.m., the Husky baseball team hosts USC, while at 3 p.m. the UW softball team hosts rival Oregon. Throughout the day, the Huskies will host its annual track & field dual meet against rival Washington State.

During the summer Mission Trip, Angela Bryan conducted her third year of Trauma Care Training with Haven of Hope, Bolivia staff members. Training addressed the newest scientific findings in brain development, and how to develop specific interventions for the children battling different traumas. The HOH, Bolivia staff learned that recent scientific research shows that the traditional ways of handling trauma impact don't work with the child because responses to misbehavior such as time outs or punitive consequences often reactivate the fear part of the brain. Caregivers learned that instead they need to respond to misbehaviors in such a way that calms the brain by giving the child new whole-body experiences where they understand that they are taken care of and are safe.
The way HOHI responds to the common trauma of food insecurity is one example of how this new trauma care approach is being implemented at HOHI. Many of the children come to HOHI having faced real hunger, having lived on the streets, raised in server poverty or having been neglected by substance addicted adults. At their arrival, HOHI is able to provide them a loving environment, introduce them to God, feed them, educate them and care for their physical wellbeing. However, it is common for some that within months of their arrival, their food insecurity fear kicks back in and they take food from the pantry, returning to their survival conscience. The traditional way of dealing with such an action would be to verbally reprimand the child and withhold food from the child, expecting to change their fear through discipline.
Today, HOHI approaches such an issue based on the most up-to-date Trauma Care research and practices. An HOHI child with hunger fear is allowed to access food whenever they want, 24/7. If necessary, they are given a bag of food to carry with them at all times, so they can touch, see, eat the food when their fear kicks in. This full body experience calms the survival part of the brain, and over time builds connections in the executive function parts of the brain, the pre- frontal cortex. Disrupting the fear of food insecurity, by providing these whole-body experiences consistently can help in the healing of the child from this trauma.

Artist's description:
Having visited and stayed in the Andalusian region of Spain many times over the last 5 years, travelling between Benalmedena on the coast to the mountain village of Mijas - a small series of paintings were produced that reflected the sketches and paintings I did when there. My endeavour in that small series was to reflect the bright, open Mediterranean sky and particular light that so dominates this southern region of Spain. I have since revisited this theme and produced a small run of seascapes capturing the intense blue of the Mediterranean Sea and Spanish sky. My aim has been to capture something of what it is like to be there with the wind and the waves and open space.
This painting is complete with a beautifully handmade frame - which leads the eye right into the work. Signed by me on the front and reverse this painting is ready to hang.

Playtime for pros of magic
On the heels of a multi-city tour and run on Broadway, The Illusionists is coming to Vancouver. Touted as "the world's best-selling touring magic show," it features five practitioners of the magic arts, including An Ha Lim, Colin Cloud, Adam Trent, Jonathan Goodwin, and Darcy Oake.
Originally from Winnipeg, Oake performed (at the age of 18) at Hollywood's prestigious magic watering hole The Magic Castle, has appeared on Britain's Got Talent (in a breakout performance), and headlined 10 shows at the Calgary Stampede. We talked to the 31-year-old magician about bear traps, idols, and dinner with the Queen.
Q: This show recently completed a run on Broadway. Did you do the trick where you hang from a bear trap and have to escape before it closes on you?
A: No. That thing stresses me out. I only do it for certain gigs. My mom hates it. (Oake's parents were in New York over Christmas for some of the shows.)
Q: What was the inspiration for that particular feat?
A: I wanted to do something that wasn't magic, but was real. The upside-down straitjacket escape is something that's been around forever. We were putting a different spin on it.
Q: There must be quite a lot of pressure to come up with the next thing.
A: Exactly. You're always trying to work on new stuff. But at the end of the day, there are the classics people know and expect. It's a balance of the two.
Q: Is there anything new in magic, or are there only so many magic tricks or illusions, and just variations on those?
A: I always say that there are only eight tricks you can do. You can make someone appear, disappear, float in the air, read someone's mind, escape from something, switch places, you can move something with your mind. It's how you weave them together. The question is, what is it, outside of the trick itself, that you are trying to convey? How are you connecting with the audience? The magic is the vehicle for connecting with the audience and conveying a particular emotion.
Q: Who were your idols while growing up?
A: David Copperfield for sure. David Blaine. Anyone who carved out a specific niche, who became known for their particular style.
Q: The deeper you get into magic, how much esoteric knowledge is out there — stuff you can't find on the Internet?
A: There's a lot of it, and that's where a lot of the best stuff comes from. A lot of the stuff that's online is New Age-type stuff. But if go back and dig deep, say to the old vaudeville days, once you understand that you can apply it to today and take it to the next level.
Q: You performed at the Queen's 90th birthday celebration. Do you remember what was served?
A: I have the menu. It was an extravagant meal. Pretty decadent.
Q: Are you learning anything from the other magicians on this tour?
A: The nice thing is that everybody has their own solo show. For us to come together, it's more of a jam session. We bounce ideas off each other, we share material.
Q: All the magicians on the tour are male. Why is that? Do you think it's changing?
A: On the Broadway show there was one woman (Chloé Crawford). We need more of them. I don't know what it is, but there's something about magic and illusion — there are a handful of really good ones and then a lot of hobbyists. When a female magician comes along, it's really cool.
If you go
What: The Illusionists – Live From Broadway, presented by Broadway in London.
When: Sunday, 5 p.m.
Where: Budweiser Gardens, Start.ca Performance Stage, 99 Dundas St.
Tickets: $45 – $100, available at the box offfice, online at budweisergardens.com or by calling 1-866-455-2849.

An adult monarch butterfly has black and orange wings, with white dots along the edges. The female has thicker lines (or veins) on her wings, while the male has thinner veins and two black spots on his hindwings.
While the caterpillars eat leaves, the butterflies eat nectar from flowers, which they suck up using their straw-like tongue (proboscis). Their proboscis is kept coiled up when not in use, but to drink, they unroll it and tap around at the base of the flower until they find the tasty nectar.
Monarch butterflies that hatch (eclose) in the spring to mid-summer live for two to six weeks before they die of "old age". In that time, they will mate so the female can lay eggs and start the cycle again.
The butterflies that hatch in the late summer, however, do not mate until the following spring. Instead, they spend the winter in trees with a large group of butterflies, protecting themselves from the cold and sunning themselves on warm days. These butterflies live for about five months.
In the USA, the overwintering butterflies migrate in their millions to Mexico and return in the spring. However, as New Zealand has a temperate climate (neither too cold nor too hot for monarchs), in cooler weather, the butterflies congregate in their hundreds on favourite trees in the same region.

So, many records broken this summer, for hottest days and hottest days streaks.
Yet not a peep from the same rightwingers who were gleefully challenging all the major scientists (the vast majority) who cite proof of global warming when it snowed in DC last winter.
Any ordinary fact (hey, it's winter and it snowed) can be twisted to serve their propagandistic purposes (i.e. whatever's best for the big corporations that fund them is to be justified and whatever threatens the hegemony of these corporations no matter how correct must be lampooned and misrepresented and overwhelmed with the big lie(s) etc.
So tiresome.

Sean Gunn Shares Favourite Moments Playing Kirk
Yesterday at EW's PopFest, where 7 minutes of Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life was shown for the first time, the Gilmore Guys also had a panel at the show with Sean Gunn making a surprise visit!
During his interview, Sean shared some of his memories of Kirk and his odd job choices, including the time he dressed up as a hot dog or when he had to walk on stilts. He also shared that Edward Herrmann gave him invaluable advice when he had to sing a part from Fiddler on the Roof.
"One of the things I remember most about that episode was I was really nervous about how to sing the song, because I didn't know if I should try to sing it as well as I could, or how Kirk would sing it … I was in my head about it," he recalled.
"I remember pulling Ed aside and asking him, 'You're a veteran, how do you think I should play this?' and him giving me the exactly right advice," Gunn continued. "I think he literally said, 'Just get out of your head, man. Just go for it.'"
Here's the original scene of Sean Gunn doing his Fiddler on the Roof song:

Kim Richards' Dr. Phil Interview Will Be Extremely Emotional Based On The First Footage Released — VIDEO
Ever since it was reported that Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kim Richards was arrested, many have wondered what exactly happened that night. Well, Richards opened up to Dr. Phil in an interview that will air Tuesday, April 28. Not only does Richards address her arrest, but she opens up about her sobriety in front of her children, who also are part of the conversation. The episode will prove to be extremely emotional, especially based on the first footage released. As shown below, Dr. Phil doesn't hold back, which prompts Richards to storm out of the interview.
At one point, the talk show host inquires, "Are you living a lie telling everybody I've been sober for three years?" He then adds, "You are drunk in a bar fighting with a cop. That is not good mothering!" That statement becomes too much for Richards who exclaims, "Is this an intervention? I'm sorry, I can't!" Then, Richards is shown exiting the room.
According to an insider who spoke with E! News, "Kim went into the interview with an open mind and genuinely wanting to do the interview but once she got there she became very upset and frustrated. Her frustration grew because she began to realize what she was in for." The source added, "Her kids were starting to talk like it was an intervention and Kim couldn't handle it. You could tell she felt cornered and hadn't realized what she had signed up for. She got up, and left in a huff yelling and cursing — anyone who was around her at the time could hear her shouting obscenities as she made her way out."
As for whether Richards returned to the interview, well, I don't know. With that said, it does seem like Richards will divulge details about the night she was arrested. In the clip, she tells Dr. Phil, "I poured a drink of vodka, and I thought, 'Oh my god, what have I done?'"
On April 16, Richards was arrested and charged with publication intoxication, trespassing, resisting an officer, and battery on an officer after she allegedly refused to leave the Beverly Hills Hotel. She's set to appear in LAX Superior Court on May 10.

Action Potentials
Purves et al., Chapters 3 & 4 (review figure from chapter 2)
Fig. 3.8 A p. 48
what we know about K+ and Na+ permeability during the passing of the action potential
Na+ conductance goes up then down early
K+ conductance goes up then down but much later.
There is something wrong with this figure: K+ conductance is much higher than Na+ conductance during the resting potential.
Bernstein knew about selective K+ permeability
Thought it was lost during the action potential (actually Na+ permeability increases)
Cole and Curtis used the AC Wheatstone bridge to show that the resistance decreased during the action potential
R1 & R2 divide one path, Rv (variable) and Ru divide the other
Galvanometer between two nodes
Ru = Rv x R2/R1
Now it is easy to realize that the Goldman is like the Nernst equation where the relative permeabilities of Na+ and K+ change
Fig. 2.3 DEF p. 28
An action potential is non-decremental
Alumnus research in neuroscience
Joel Geerling, a chemistry major, took this class (and also graduated) in 2000. He went to Wash U for an MD-PhD. Related to the importance of sodium (covered throughout this course and in this outline) is the hormone aldosterone from the adrenal cortex and its regulation of sodium in the kidney. It is well-known, especially by athletes, that a sodium deficiency leads to increased sodium appetite, Joel's work, in the 4 papers referenced below, addresses this issue at the level of the brain. They illustrate the importance of understanding techniques such as confocal microscopy, as well as brain anatomy.

Passive spread of potential along axon
Fig. 2.3 ABC p. 28
If there were not something very special (voltage gating that activates Na+ channel), passive voltage spread would be decremental
Current down along the axon gets smaller because it leaks through the membrane resistance and capacitance.
At any place along the axon, a spike would depolarize the axon to threshold for a spike a certain distance ahead of it, and that distance depends on the square root of the radius.
Spike at one place would also depolarize the axon behind it to threshold, but it does not generate a retrograde action potential because of the refractory period, explained (below) by the inactivation of the Na+ channel.
Fig. 2.2 p. 27 (again)
TERMS: threshold, generator potential, all-or-none, refractory, unidirectional
NOTE also the membrane acting as a low pass filter
Fig B Box 2A p. 31 shows exponential decay and space constant (lambda)
Fig C Box 2A p. 31 shows exponential charging of capacitance and time constan (tao)
Cable equation
Personal reflection.
My fellow graduate student, Paul Kottler, and I took Warren Dennis's course (Physical chemistry of cell systems) together; we also studied for our PhD exam together. My mentor, Jerry Wasserman, had been famous for asking a question about the speed of the action potential and asking it each subsequent year because he was never satisfied with the answer. We resolved to retire this question since we knew that our coverage on the cable equation was much more than Wasserman would expect. When I found out that I passed, I asked Wasserman how he liked my answer and he replied that "it was ok, a little theoretical." So Paul and I decided we had done our duty for posterity, retiring the question, by answering it with a derivation that involved differential equations.
(1) an action potential at one place depolarizes the membrane ahead of it to threshold.
(2) the spread is passive.
(3) current down the axoplasm leaks out through membrane resistance and capacitance.
(4) solving, space constant varies with square root of radius, time constant independent of radius.
(5) that is why invertebrates use giant axons for fast propagation.
(6) myelinated axons also have faster propagation for larger axons.
frequency of action potentials, not size since they are all-or-none
sometimes action potentials come in bursts
or at beginning of depolarization because of "adaptation"
Hodgkin Huxley experiments
Fig. 3.10 p. 50
Propagation of action potential (spike) shown with opening and closing of Na+ and K+ channels drawn in
Note relative opening and closing of channels
"sodium pump" already established the ion gradients
oscilloscope essentially graphs voltage as a function of time
action potentials can also be listened to on a loud speaker
activation, inactivation, voltage gating
Fig. Box 3A p. 42
general recording "geometry" -
differential amplifier compares 2 voltages and puts out current
operational amplifier is a differential amplifier to clamp voltage
space clamp - really just do whole axon at once
Fig. 3.2 p. 44
voltage clamp data
voltage clamp - change voltage then pump and monitor current needed to keep it there
I - t curves
Fig. 3.3 p. 44
divide into early and late components as I - V curve
Ohm's law: E=IR, thus, the axes of an I-V curve are reversed and the slope is
conductance = 1/R in units of Siemens (formerly "mho")
NOTE: iNa = gNa(V-VNa) - driving potential
Fig. 3.4 p. 45
experiment with low Na+ to show early current is Na+
early fast sodium tetrodotoxin (TTX) sensitive (see box C, Chapter 4, on toxins)
TTX from puffer fish, puffer fish is a delicacy in Japan, but careful preparation is importantto prepare sushi, best if enough TTX left to make mouth numb
saxitoxin from dinoflagellates (red-tides are "blooms" and filter feeding shellfish can become poisonous
Other experiments (e.g. dose of TTX) show few sodium channels, works only if applied to outside of axon
late slow potassium TEA (tetraethyl ammonium) sensitive
Fig. 4.3 p. 61
In summary, resting potential is based on predominant K+ permeability
then Na+ channels activate
then Na+ channels inactivate
then a late K+ channel activates
GENERALIZATION - action potential is based on Na+ and K+
there are MANY other channel types
Figures Box 4C p. 63
for 20 years they have been studied by "heterologous expression" in cells like Xenopus oocytes
inject exogenous mRNA into clawed African frog egg
Channels are at a low "concentration" (except in post-synaptic membrane).
It takes little tetrodotoxin to block action potential so they are proteins that are not highly expressed.
Thus, channel mutants might be lethal, so they used tricks to get genes like conditional mutants (like temperature sensitive with permissive and restrictive temperatures)
Fig. 4.5 ABCD p. 4.5
KV2.1 (A) is like "delayed rectifyer" K+ channel of action potential. "Rectifier" means that it only allows current in one direction. KV4.1 and HERG have inactivation.
One famous conditional channel mutant in Drosophila, ether-a-go-go, shakes under ether anesthesia. A hunan homologue was found, HERG = human ether-a-go-go-related-gene. HERG inactivates so quickly that it only opens after voltage is over. Contributes to long action potential in cardiac muscle. Long QT syndrome is sometimes mutation of HERG, QRS in EKG (
) is ventricular depolarization, T is repolarization.
A lot of work was done with KV4.1 (B)
Fig. 4.6 Ct o F p. 67
K+, A-type conductance, not at all like K+ channel of action potential
sea slug Anisodoris, Drosophila fruit fly - Shaker mutant
Tetramer makes channel, each component crosses membrane 6 times with hydrophobic domains, S1-S6, inactivation is "stopper" on chain at N-terminal, voltage gating is S4 with + charged arginines or lysines every 3 or 4 amino acids, rotates and moves. Pore is between S5 and S6, not so hydrophobic.
Fig. 4.8
Human K+ channel, includes detailed structure and model
shows where K+ is when it is opened

This figure shows a 12-transmembrane protein for the Cl- channel
A famous Cl- channel is the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR)
cystic fibrosis is most common genetic disorder in Caucasians (1/2000), lungs fill up with thick mucus. One presumes the channel is two components.
Fig. 4.6A p.67
Sodium channel, now diverse (human 10 genes)

There are different types of Na+ channels, and some are targets of local anesthetics benzocaine and lidocaine.
Potassium channels (lots of them, 100)

Delayed rectifier (repolarization of action potential) 10 pS
Anomalous rectifier - maintain depolarization - cardiac, fertilization
HERG human ether-a-go-go related gene
Calcium channels
16 genes
Ca2+ regulation by parathormone, calcitonin and vitamin D important
Ca2+ channel in synaptic terminal vesicle release - very important, also many others
Ca2+ channel is receptor for IP3 (inositol trisphosphate "second" messenger) on smooth endoplasmic reticulum
Ca2+ channel in muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum
Ca2+ channel in t- (transverse-) tubule in muscle

myotonia, paralysis or stiffness from Na+ channel
Long QT syndrome from Na+ or K+ channel defects EKG (electrocardiogram) has PQRST waves, P from atrial depolarization, QRS from ventricualr depolarization and T from ventricular repolarization

interesting that non-hydrated ion passes.
Hydrated - size is inverse

There are a lot of configurations of channels
Exam questions from 2005 - 2012 relating to this outline
Discussing passive spread of a decremental potential, the current spreading down the axoplasm gets smaller with distance from a place where a stimulus is applied. What happened to the current that was no longer going down the axoplasm?
it leaked through the axon membrane's resistance and capacitance
What does the space constant and the time constant have to do with why squids have giant axons?
cable equation's space constant varies with the square root of the radius while the time constant is independent of the radius, and the space constant over the time constant of passive spread ought to predict the action potential speed
Loss of what hormone, from an adrenalectomy, would make a rat crave salt?
The lecture and figures refer to a sodium channel that is about to be depolarized to threshold by an upstream action potential as "closed." Right after the action potential has passed, what term do we use to describe the status of the sodium channel?
Why would long QT syndrome limit a person's ability to respond to stress?
inability to have shorter action potential in the ventricualr myocardium would limit how fast the pulse can get
Why, when the voltage of the squid giant axon is clamped at +65 mV (inside positive), does the early current flow out instead of in?
despite the fact that sodium is going up against its ion gradient, the driving potential, the voltage minus the sodium equilibrium potential, would drive current that direction
A family of "I-T curves" were used by Hodgkin and Huxley to generate two "I-V curves." Say something about these curves.
the "family" was for different voltage clamp levels, giving the V on tie I-V curves. early and late times were chosen tor the two I-V curves. the early curve showed the negative conductance region representing the soduim channel activation
"The space clamp meant that voltage clamping was done along the whole axon." Why would this be more useful than firing a real action potential?
realistic (measurable, not infinitessimal) currentscould be measured
How much current should be carried by sodium at the sodium equilibrium potential?
What are the differences in how four components form a channel for Shaker vs. Electrophorus?
4 proteins for shaker, 4 domains of one protein in electrophorus
At one time they thought that the positively charged amino acids in S4 lined the channel, but eventually they agreed that S4 did (what?)?
sensed toe voltage for gating to cause a conformational change for activation
Aldosterone sensitive neurons mediate an animal's specific appetite for what important substance relevant to action potentials?
"The time constant is independent of radius." Then why are giant axons faster?
the space constant relates to the square root of the radius
Current goes down the axoplasm from the location where the action potential is located. The amount of current gets smaller as a function of distance from the action potential. Why does it get smaller?
it leaks out through membrane resistance and capacitance
In a Voltage clamp experiment, on the I-t curve, there is an early inward current unless the voltage is clamped (at about what level?).
the sodium eauillibrium potential (+55 mV)
Why was it useful to obtain conditional mutants (like temperature- or ether-sensitive mutants), rather than ordinary mutants, to isolate genes like shaker and ether-a-go-go in Drosophila?
channelopathy mutants would be lethal
Why would long QT syndrome interfere with the body's response to stress?
can't get the heart beats short enough to speed up the heart rate
What part (domain) of the Shaker protein is responsible for inactivation?
a stopper (ball of amino acids) at the N-terminal end
Although it is thick mucus in the lungs that is life-threatening in cystic fibrosis victims, it is a channel that is deficient. What kind of channel?
a chloride channel
What causes the S4 transmembrane span of the sodium channel to rotate?
detection of the depolarizing voltage
Why was
Electrophorus electricus
useful in channel research?
sodium chasnnels were so plentiful in the electric organ that they could be isolated and characterized
Parathormone, calcitonin, and (what other hormone?) help to maintain appropriate levels of blood Ca2+?
vitamin D
How did the electric eel Electrophorus electricus assist in the isolation of a channel?
sufficient concentration of sodium channel to allow characterization
In theory, and in data, what is the direction and amount of Na+ current when the voltage in the axon is clamped to the Na+ equilibrium potential?
Paving the way for the Nobel Prize winning Hodgkin and Huxley work, what could you conclude from the Cole and Curtis finding that the AC bridge went out of balance as the
action potential goes by?
conductance increased
In terms of amino acid sequence, how does the S4 of the voltage-gated Na+ channel differ from the typical transmembrane alpha helix?
charged arginines or lysines every 3 or 4 amino acids
To hold the voltage of a squid giant axon at a clamped level of 0 mV, Hodgkin and Huxley had to pump current out through the membrane at 0.5 ms (fairly early) to compensate for
sodium current
What does tetrodotoxin block?
the sodium channel
"Long QT syndrome can be caused by a mutation of HERG." Translate.
genetic long myocardial action potential
How does the space constant of an axon relate to the axon's size?
with square root of radius
Some potassium channels do show inactivation. What part of the molecule is responsible?
stopper on the N-erminus
CSNB is a channelopathy. S=stationary (not progressive degeneration). NB=night blindness (affecting rod photoreceptors). Why is the term C=congenital applied?
it's genetic
An action potential depolarizes the axon ahead of it to threshold, and that is why the action potential propagates. It would also depolarize the axon behind it. Why does it not cause a
backward action potential?
refractory potential, inactivation
Selecting for conditional channel mutants, like temperature sensitive mutants, has been especially useful in Drosophila. Why not just isolate regular mutants?
they might be lethal
Why would two resistors in series connected to a battery be called a Voltage divider?
Two sources of voltage (Ohm's law) E=IR, E = IR1 + IR2, used in Wheatstone bridge
In discussing the passive properties (i.e. without an action potential), the current gets smaller with distance from the stimulus going along the axoplasm (down the inside of the axon). Why does it get smaller?
along the way, it is lost through the membrane (the membrane's resistance and capacitance)
The Shaker K+ channel is a tetramer of proteins that each cross the membrane 6 times. Why is the
Na+ channel called a pseudotetramer instead?
because one huge molecule has 4 repeated domains each the size of one shaker channel protein
When (or why) is there a negative conductance region in the I-V curve in Voltage-clamp data?
early, when Na+ channels activate then inactivate
What would be the cause of death if you ate a puffer fish?
Na+ channel block, no action potentials
What does an alpha helix, namely S4, with positively charged (basic) amino acids [arginine (R) or lysine (K)] every 3 or 4 amino acids do for the action potential's sodium channel?
it detects Voltage to gate the activation of the channel
Cole and Curtis already knew that the conductance went up as the action potential went by. Hodgkin and Huxley went a bit further. Which conductance(s) went up?
Na+ and K+
Give the name of at least one "channelopathy" (genetic disease resulting from a mutation affecting a channel protein).
paralysis, myotonia, long QT syndrome, congenital stationary night blindness
You remove both adrenal glands of a rat and let it recover. Answer either (1) What is different about the animal's specific appetite? Or (2) This is explained by the absence of what hormone?
Craves salt (NaCl) b/c of loss of aldosterone
A certain voltage is applied at one place in an axon. On the basis of passive spread only (no action potentials) what would be the voltage (relative to the applied voltage) one space constant away? (Your answer can be very approximate.)
1/3 approximates 1/e
The voltage of an axon is clamped from the resting potential to 0 mV. At 0.7 ms (early), Answer either (1) What direction is the current? Or (2) How is this current changed if 460 mM sodium chloride is replaced by choline chloride?
In, there is no sodium current if there is no sodium
In terms of the protein, what would be the genetic explanation of permissive vs restrictive temperatures in a temperature sensitive conditional mutation?
A missense mutation might only disrupt function if temperature denatures the protein
For long Q-T syndrome, answer either (1) What cell type has a long action potential that should become shorter in strenuous exercise but does not? Or (2) The channel was first found because what conditional behavior was first noticed in Drosophila mutants?
Ventricular myocardial cell, shaking under ether anesthesia
Why do they distinguish Shaker vs Electrophorus channels as tetramer vs pseudotetramer?
It takes 4 shaker proteins, the electrophorus protein has all 4 domains in one big molecule
It seems like there ought to b e salt sensitive neurons to explain sodium appetite. However, former neuro class student Joel Geerling showed thqat neurons were sensitive to a hormone. What hormone?
In passive propagation (cable properties of the axon) why does the current carried down the axoplasm get smaller as you go further from the applied voltage?
leaks out through the membrane
In the classic Hodgkin-Huxley voltage clamp experiments, How did they show that the early inward current was carried by sodium ions?
replace extracellular fluie with sodium free solution
Explain absolute refractory period on the basis of a property of a channel.
an inactivated channel cannot be activated (but a closed channel can)
What would be a useful property (of a cell) when choosing a cell type for heterologous expression of a channel?
should not express the channel already, should be eukaryotic so thatpost-translational modifications wold be the same
"Human ether-a-go-go." Why would mutants be considered to be conditional when they were first found in Drosophila?
shaking only seen under ether anesthesia
How does the shaker protein detect voltage?
S4, with it's positive charges, rotates
Why would the electric organ of the electric eel be better than the squid giant axon for cloning the sodium channel?
expresses plenty of channel
Give one of the three possible membrane compartments where calcium channels would be important in muscle contraction.
pre-"synaptic" membrane, t-tbule, sarcoplasmic reticulum
Knowing about cystic fibrosis might help you to understand the channel for what neurotransmitter?

Have you ever thought about the health of your PlayStation3? Could you imagine anything worse than your PS3 having a meltdown mid game? You probably could, but still, it would be pretty bad. Your PS3 could actually be close to failure, and you might not even realize it. There are some important steps and precautions you can take to protect your PlayStation3. Find out how you can prevent your system from saying 'game over'.
The optimal temperature for the PS3 is between 41F and 95F. Unless you are playing outside in the middle of a Canadian winter, your PS3 probably won't operate in temperatures under 41F. It is very possible though, for a PS3 to skyrocket past 95F – even in a room set at a comfortable 72F.
If your PS3 is set too close to a wall, you can easily run the risk of a total meltdown. Let your PS3 breathe. It is also advisable to put your system in the horizontal position. If you are worried about your system because of extended play, put a portable thermometer behind your PS3 to monitor the temperature. If your system does start to overheat, the power indicator will blink red and green.
If your system should overheat, put your system in an area where there is some cooling airflow, bheated when the power LED indicator flashes three times and then shuts down.ut not somewhere (like an open window) where moisture can get at it. You'll know your system has over
BD Failures
A BD failure can occur when you have used a scratched up or smudged disk. BD failure can also be caused by over playing. To prevent BD failures, clean your discs, get some HDD titles to balance out the usage, and take a break from your PS3.
Cleaning your PS3 will help avoid PS3 failure. Use a vacuum to clean the dust from the vents of the system. Don't jam the vacuum nozzle against the vent but rather, hold it an inch away from the vent. You could also use a can of air, in which case you would hold the can two inches away from the vents. Remember to hold the can upright when spraying.
Shut Down
To avoid getting errors, learn how to shut off your system properly. Use your remote and hold the PS. Wait until you see the 'shut down system'. Press X on yes. It is never a good idea to flip the switch on the back of the system when the LED is showing a solid green. If you part from your PS3 for a week or more, shut down the system with the remote. Next, flip the back switch and then unplug the PS3. This will avoid the risk of power surges. If your machine freezes, do not just yank the plug or flip the switch. Be patient and shut down with the remote.
Play Safe
Your PS3 is an expensive system that needs to be taken care of. You wouldn't let your car run on and on without changing the oil or filters. Your PS3 shouldn't be neglected either. With proper care, your PS3 will give you many happy hours of safe play.
Do you have any other maintenance tips for the PS3?

Japan's 18-year-old Tiger growing up fast
Nineteen ninety-one was not a bad year for Kenny Perry. At 31, he won The Memorial and earned $368,000.
Ryo Ishikawa also had a big 1991. He was born.
On Sunday, they met in the curiosity match of the weekend, Japan's 18-year-old version of Tiger against a Kentuckian 10 months shy of the big five-oh.
Ishikawa had to hit every putt in front of 80 reporters and photographers from Japan, with all the attendant pressure. Perry's audience was symbolized by the middle-aged guy clutching a beer at No. 12 who yelled, "This is for us old guys."
Well, not on this foggy afternoon.
Ishikawa, a 5-foot-8 stick figure who made $1 million on the Japan Tour this year, showed remarkable poise for a match-play novice in beating Perry 2 and 1.
"I told everybody we were the circus act," Perry said. "We were the novelty that people pay money to go see. He's on his way in and I'm on my way out, so two totally different lives out there. Good for him. If he can handle that media pressure, he's going to do very well in this game.
"He is going to be a superstar."
Ishikawa is called the Bashful Prince in Japan and is big news there. The prince and his court should make quite an impression on the galleries at Pebble Beach when he plays in the AT&T in February.
Bashful indeed, Ishikawa's eyes were hidden behind a pair of orange-tinted sunglasses that might have cost a fair chunk of the $26,000 he made in six PGA Tour events this year. His best finish was a tie for 56th and he missed four cuts.
But the kid is coming. Ask Perry, who got a snoot full of Ishikawa this weekend, losing in four-ball and foursome matches against teams that included the teenager. The youngest competitor ever in the Presidents Cup and the world's 43rd-ranked player went 3-2 to match Ernie Els for most wins by the Internationals. Perry, the oldest ever and fifth-ranked, went 1-3.
"I've talked to other kids who are 18," Perry said. "They'll tell you they could never dream of competing like that at the highest level. But you know what? Tiger Woods was groomed like that. This kid was groomed like that. He's under media pressure every day, cameras going. Wherever he goes, he's under a microscope. He's had to grow up fast."
Most impressive was Ishikawa's putting. He took the lead for good on the par-3 14th with a birdie, then saved his win with an oooh-inspiring downhill, 25-footer from the back of the green on No. 16 (normally No. 1) when Perry was in position to square the match with a 4 1/2-footer.
Perry was not in the best mood after his match. His mother's death last week surely weighs on him. But he also was not thrilled by a ruling on No. 15 (normally No. 18) that allowed Ishikawa to move to a significantly better lie. Ishikawa halved the hole.
Ishikawa said through a translator that he did not think himself worthy of his selection to the team but was made so comfortable by his more famous teammates that he wants to play in the next Presidents Cup.
If Greg Norman remains captain for the 2011 tournament in Australia, Ishikawa should get his wish. Norman said one has to be a professional golfer to understand how exceptionally Ishikawa performed in this setting at his age.
"What was I doing when I was 18?" Norman said. "I had about a 20 handicap, I was surfing and I wasn't winning golf tournaments like he is, that's for sure."

Tunisia, in the same way as the straggling stays of the Maghreb, will commend the Muslim New Year on Wednesday (January ninth). Conventions contrast starting with one governorate then onto the join as showed by the slants and customs of the sheiks and elderly who control purposes of vitality of these festivals. Tunisians all methodology couscous with kadida, which is cured and dried rib meat from Eid al-Adha sheep. The dish, progressed with a mixture of beans and vegetables, is ready with stunning thought. In the north of the nation and along the coast, individuals plan couscous with kadida on the day going before New Year's Eve. On the eve itself, Tunisians celebrate with mouloukhia (stewed greens), pies and cakes stacked down with dates, "so that the new year may be green, productive and sweet", as showed by Manoubia Idoudi. She said she a little while later goes to the sorting out of these dishes and keeps her youngsters from including chick-peas, in light of the way that they "will bring square to them and to their families in the midst of the time as they symbolize wantonness and unpalatable fortunes".
Idoudi in like way depicted a custom of cooking eggs and setting them in a holder outside the house and under storm pipes on the previous night New Year's Eve, saying it is seen to "oblige us a stormy year that profits plants and people". In spite of the way that Tunisians separate in few bits of information about the date joined with Prophet Muhammad's Hijra (discharging) from Mecca to Medina, the city of Nabeul has it exceptional skeleton for lauding this religious occasion. Families in this waterfront degree cook reddening green mouloukhia on the most recent day of the Muslim year and begin the new year with couscous with kadida and dried osban (sheep/cow like osmosis tracts stacked down with rice) that is upgraded with plagued eggs, chick-peas, sugar, treats and dried deferred results of the earth.
Kids are dependably displayed with a wooden dish of couscous with a toy in the core made of treat. The toy is for the most part talking as a chicken or deer for young people and a doll for youths. In the most recent week of the year, shops are stacked with these dolls that are ordinarily kept until the occasion of Achoura. The starting stage and imperativeness of the treat dolls is weak. Some say it may go at the end of the day to the Phoenicians, while others say it begins from the Jews or Italians, as the city of Palermo is besides known for making treat dolls.
The practice develops well past the inhabitants of Nabeul. Ten years past, city qualities changed the event into a Ministry of Culture-kept up occasion. In the days going before the Muslim New Year, the city's squares offer upscale presentations where individuals can see addresses and movies on treat dolls. In 2004, the first trap film on sweet dolls in the city of Nabeul was made and surrounded by Tunisian official Nabil Lassoued. Since 2006, the celebration has offered an enemy for creators of treat dolls; the champ gets 1,000 dinars and two runners-up will get 500 and 250 dinars and over. Arrange your book accomodation to Tunisia and discover a new experience.
Enjoy your great holiday with New Years Eve 2015 in Tunisia

Hi everyone,
I had my first laparoscopy and hysteroscopy last Wednesday. It turns out I have stage 4 endometriosis, Fimbrial cysts on both my tubes, a chocolate cyst in my ovary, localised bleeding and scarring and I had a 2.5cm polyp in my womb (which was removed).
I have really struggled with the wind pain and constipation pain from the meds over the first few days. The cut near my belly button is very sore and pulls every time I move and under my boobs and across the bottom of my rib cage I fell really swollen making it so hard to get comfortable.
Has anyone any experience of this type of swelling?
I am going to have to have another lap (which will probably be next year now as the doctor is putting me on the pill for a few months first to regulate my periods and hormones and to suppress the endo) to remove the cysts and endo etc. Has anyone whose had a 2nd lap found it easier or harder with regards to recovery?
How long did it take for people's stitches to dissolve?
Has anyone had any similar experience and then managed to conceive naturally at all?
Thank you

Day 28 - First TV show obsession
I honestly can't remember, but I would say Highlander.
Day 29 - Current TV show obsession
Alright, I change my vote: it's Lost, definitely Lost [/ETA]
Day 30 - Saddest character death
Richie Ryan, in Highlander. There had been times when Duncan almost killed him before, and Richie was one of the regulars: his death took me by surprise.

Positioned On A Secluded Beach Only Three Miles From Downtown Cabo, 2,000 Sq Ft Of Meeting Space, And A Very, Very Cool Rooftop Venue For Special Events - Cabo/
And while we are in Cabo… The recently opened 161-room The Cape (a Thompson Hotel) has been getting rave reviews. Positioned on a secluded (define secluded in Cabo) beach only three miles from downtown Cabo, the resort features unobstructed views of El Arco (presumably a good thing). The hotel p.r. people want you to know the "beach boasts a left-breaking wave" (presumably also a good thing). The hotel has 2,000 square feet of meeting space, which does not include a very, very cool rooftop venue for special events.
They describe the hotel as a "1960's Baja-meets-SoCalsurfer style environment that reflects the Thompson brand's urban roots yet honors the resort's Baja setting." I have no idea what that means. Can I still order guacamole'? If not, no worries, because their restaurant's chef, world renowned Chef Enrique Olvera's other restaurant, Pujol in Mexico City, is ranked #17 of the top restaurants in the world. I bet it's good.

How To Play Home windows Retailer Games Offline On Home windows 10
Posted on 23/12/2015 in Offline Games
And just to say I don't thoughts provide drops, however what I do mind is let´s say spanding 20€ on a drop and hoping to get a weapon or a camo that I like. You'll be able to obtain Asphalt Nitro from Google Play Store to have fun in free time. His Tweet hyperlinks to a new web page at Xbox Support , which spells out all the situations attached to offline play. Riptide GP Renegade is among the hottest offline iPhone game that you just shouldn't be lacking. It's among these light-weight offline android video games that do not require web connection. And I have discovered that taking part in offline on WC and Legendary actually improves my game and I play higher online. Invite associates to co-play offline games collectively online, rent a gaming PC, or access your gaming PC from anyplace. All these games are beautiful to take a look at, the motion is intriguing and the puzzles are fun to unravel. Google's additionally included Minecraft's cellular game , which helps online multiplayer over Wi-Fi but in addition works offline.
Now that you have one of the best offline video games for Android and iOS, it's time to attempt them out and expertise them first hand. Since then it is now become some of the popular video games played on the internet and offline as well. Offline Progress is a feature launched in REVIVE!, Part 1 , which allows some features even in case you are offline. The games are based on the side-scrolling idea where you have to maintain into account numerous variables like liquids, flamethrowers, frost, magma and water to outlive. Hop is a free arcade game which you could play offline without worrying about Wifi or web.
Nonetheless the query in the high post is not really the appropriate motive to keep away from this sport since that won't work on many games on steam that doesn't use denuvo. Again in 2013, Plants vs. Zombies 2 was our recreation of the year Three years have passed, but it surely nonetheless holds up as among the finest strategy video games out there. If you wish to check your mental abilities and creativity, then you need to want to offer a try to Brain it on offline game. If you love to play capturing video games, then it's best to have to strive ShadowGun in your PC. The game has wonderful sound results and superior graphics. This offline mobile sport is free to obtain and you will get it from Google Play Store.
This is gonna stress the hell out of it, If the laptop just shuts off sooner or later then its a psu drawback, the opposite thing that can happen is the psu blows, up i have seen that happen that can mess up every little thing. But there may be an offline story mode too, the place we observe Sergeant Wright in the aftermath of the World Battle 2 invasion. Though the three talked about video games are standalone titles, they share the same mechanics and similar aesthetics to qualify in the identical entry. When you play this game on your PC, you will surely develop into addicted to GTA video games. Telltale games started life as with Telltale Texas Hold 'em Poker, a poker game that pit well-liked game characters in opposition to each other (it's a tradition that get new incarnations with new characters every so often). From the days of Mortal Kombat and Avenue Fighter, one-on-one fight games have been a good way to move the time.
The new Offline Games part offers a mixture of free and paid games, together with some traditional time-killers like Dots , Dumb Methods to Die, Jetpack Joyride and Robotic Unicorn Attack. When enjoying supported games offline, Xbox achievements might be disabled until a connection has been re-established with Xbox Dwell. The game will set itself up, acquire any vital license data, and download any knowledge it must perform. Ahead of being performed offline, Home windows 10 video games should have been performed no less than as soon as, using a valid Xbox Stay account.

It is said that one day the Sun will swallow the Earth and all other planets. As it gets closer, the warmth will melt the polar shells, feeding the sea, inciting nature's rage, finally cursing it's revenge upon the Earth and all of it's little cities; one by one, being by being. Crumbs of rubbish will carry diseases that have been developed over thousands of years. Countless new forms of animals will be twisting, moving and dancing their way through their insanity – a gift from the endless tons of toxic trash we recklessly harboured. Waves will grow higher than our skyscrapers. There will be no place to go; nowhere to hide. Flesh, bone and blood. All will be one again. Water will be earth; stone will be sea.

Speaker Series
- Date: –13:30
- Location: Sal 2, Gamla Torget 3
- Lecturer: Courtenay Conrad, Associate Professor of Political Science, University of California-Merced
- Website
- Organiser: Department of Peace and Conflict Research
- Contact person: Kristine Eck
- Föreläsning
On 16 May, Courtenay Conrad, Associate Professor of Political Science, University of California-Merced, will hold a lecture on "Monitoring via the courts: Judicial oversight and police violence in India". The Speaker Series lectures are open to the public. Most welcome!
Courtenay Conrad (PhD, Florida State 2010) is an Associate Professor at the University of California-Merced. Her research focuses on political violence and human rights, particularly how domestic and international constraints affect agents of repression. Her work has been published in the American Political Science Review, American Journal of Political Science, and International Studies Quarterly, amongst others. Together with Emily Ritter, she is author of Contentious Compliance: Dissent and Repression under International Human Rights Law, published this year with Oxford University Press.
In this talk, she will present results from a quasi-experimental study in India which shows that the establishment of sub-national police complaints authorities is associated with substantive decreases in human rights violations by Indian police officers. These findings speak to important questions about how court-ordered institutional reforms can impact on the respect for human rights, and how domestic law can be used to shape individual agents' use of force.

Christianity Under Fire
Are You Guilty of This?
Are You Guilty of This?
Those that choose NOT to believe the 'Bible interprets
itself' and don't believe that the 'longsuffering of God is because He is unwilling that any should perish, and don't believe
that, 'blindness in part is happened to Israel, UNTIL the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.', are the ones that opt for
an inconsistent method of interpretation which literally believes that Christ is coming soon but will not believe in his literal
and physical coming.
For example, in the first chapter of Revelation it
says, "Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written
therein: FOR THE TIME IS AT HAND. ... 7 BEHOLD, HE COMETH WITH CLOUDS; AND EVERY EYE SHALL SEE HIM, and they also which pierced
him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen. 8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the
ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty"
Now since the Preterist believes that Christ's coming
was 'at hand' and that meant ad 70, then why don't they believe how he is to come?
They believe Christ came in a.d. 70, and believe the
account of Josephus, but there is no recording of ANYONE seeing Jesus coming in the clouds. Yet the scripture in this same
passage says, 'every eye shall see him.'
They will make figurative his coming but insist on
'at hand' being by a.d. 70.
Two things God did not want us ignorant of are:
1) For I would not, brethren, that ye should be IGNORANT
OF THIS MYSTERY, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, UNTIL the fulness
of the Gentiles be come in. (Romans 11:25)
2) But, beloved, BE NOT IGNORANT OF THIS ONE THING,
that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as
some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to
repentance. (2 Peter 3)
Actually, this is really two aspects of the one thing
that God does not want us ignorant of, because both deal with God's delay.
Still, this is precisely what the Preterist is
willingly ignorant of.
Either (1) mistaking literal language for figurative
language or
(2) mistaking figurative language for literal language.
Example of
(1): Mary Baker Eddy interprets EVENING as "mistiness
of mortal thought; weariness of mortal mind; obscured views; peace and rest."
Example of (2): The Mormon theologian james Talmage
interprets the prophesy that "thou shalt be brought down and speak out of the ground" to mean that God's Word would come to
people from the Book of Mormon which was taken out of the ground at the hill of Cumorah. (Scripture Twisting, Sire)
Take the following two passages and tell me if it
is figurative orliteral.
"But this is that which was spoken by the prophet
Joel; 'And itshall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out ofmy Spirit upon all flesh: and
your sons and your daughters shallprophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
18 And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:
19 And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour
of smoke: 20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord
come" (Acts 2)
The Preterist believes that there were signs on the
earth asmentioned above but the signs in the heaven were figurative because it wasn't recorded that anyone saw the signs
in the heaven and a.d. 70 has already come and gone, so it must be figurative. So they have a literal interpretation on the
first half of this fulfillment and a figurative one on the second.
Here is the next passage:
"Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those
nations, aswhen he fought in the day of battle. 4 And his feet shall stand inthat day upon the mount of Olives, which
is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the
west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward
the south." (Zechariah 14)
The Preterists believe that Christ literally and physically
leftfrom the mount of Olives (Acts 1), but they believe when he comes back as mentioned above it will not be physical.
In other words, His feet, mount of Olives, Jerusalem,
the dividingof the mountain, etc., are all figurative.
If they let the bible interpret itself (another hermeneutic)theywould
see that Jesus would come the way he left.
"And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld,
he was TAKEN UP; and a CLOUD received him out of their sight. 10 And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went
up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; 11 Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven?
THIS SAME JESUS , which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come IN LIKE MANNER as ye have seen him go into heaven.
12 Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the MOUNT
CALLED OLIVET, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day's journey."
(Acts 1)
Is it any wonder that the Liberals take these kind
of arguments that Preterist's use and make the whole bible figurative?

Proverbs Chapter 24
Scott Bruegman
You don't need to be around a three year old for very long before you see that they have very visible shortcomings. Don't be deceived by their cute little Disney outfits and innocent voices. These little gifts of God come with little agendas. Sure, their agendas are silly, but we can learn a lot from watching children.
For example, yesterday I fixed breakfast for my two daughters (3 and 5). I gave them both the exact same cereal, same orange juice, same vitamins, same bowls and glasses, and same place mats. Suddenly, the youngest daughter was horrified to realize she didn't get the pink princess spoon! She broke down crying, shouting for justice to be done. As she slumped onto the floor in tears, she felt over looked. She felt she deserved what was not given to her.
As I watched this, I tried not to laugh. But, then started thinking about all the times I have done the same thing. Sure, we might not throw a tantrum like a child. However, we definitely question God about the things we have or don't have in life. At the bottom of it all, it usually comes down to a little thing called envy.
Webster's dictionary defines envy as, "A feeling of discontented or resentful longing aroused by someone else's possessions, qualities, or luck."
King Solomon writes in Proverbs 24:1-2, "Don't envy evil men or desire to be with them for their hearts plan violence, and their words stir up trouble." Later, Solomon reassures us in verse 19-20, "Don't worry because of evildoers and don't envy the wicked. For the evil have no future; the lamp of the wicked will be put out."
God is serious when He says to let go of envy, and trust His plan for our lives. Trusting that God is good and walking with His wisdom will bring us more joy than we could ever imagine. But, before that can happen, we need to start trusting Him.
Kids are not good at hiding things. It is easy to see their motivations and disappointments. As we get older, we become professionals at disguising our motivations and disappointments. As we try to follow Christ, we quickly realize that it isn't always easy to do the right thing. We watch others around us take shortcuts, cheat, or manipulate to get ahead, and sometimes it works for them! If we were honest, we sometimes envy those getting ahead, those that seem to live for themselves, and those that seem to do whatever they want. It is in those times that we need to make a decision. Do we throw a tantrum, try to get even, try to get what we feel we deserve? Or, do we lean into God and trust His wisdom?
God pleads with each of us today in verses 13-14, "Eat honey, my son, for it is good and the honeycomb is sweet to your palate; realize that wisdom is the same for you. If you find it, you will have a future, and your hope will never fade." Trust God today! As you start to apply His wisdom, you will realize that it tastes sweet. You will want more and more of it. Today, make it your prayer to trust God's hand in your life. God promises a future for you!
May you always be filled with hope, trusting in the mighty strength and goodness of God!


text: Short Answers What immediately struck me about this man was not him, but rather his dog. You can see that one of the dogs has two different colored eyes. "What is your largest remaining goal in life?""To retire."After hearing this, I decided that sometimes short answers weigh in more than long-winded answers.

This being my first exposure to Boeve's thought, I am inspired to continue reading. I found myself nodding in agreement throughout my reading, impressed with the clarity of his writing and the power of his thought. Indeed, Boeve sees it as essential that Christianity be re-contextualized in each era. This is not to say that we jettison the past but, rather, that we allow the experience of Christianity to come alive, to be incarnated, in each new context. As he writes, in a beautiful turn of phrase,
"It is not as human beings that we are Christians but as Christians that we are human beings..."Christianity is not meant to be something added-on to a human. It is meant to be the way that we are human. The wisdom of the Cross, derided so often today, will not always compel assent from those who do not believe, but it may light the spark that impels others to live as Christians live, provided that we live out our faiths courageously and boldly.
I entitled this post "Prayer, Interrupted" because I often think of prayer as a conversation with God. It is a temptation, though, to let the conversation become a monologue: me talking and not listening! It is helpful, then, to consider that the God of Israel and Jesus Christ is one not above interrupting the human story in order to let the story of the Kingdom be known. We see examples of interruption in the prophets and figures of the Hebrew Scriptures (surely, Isaac is grateful for the interruption that spared him from Abram's knife!). We see interruption in John the Baptist, the Virgin Mary, the Apostles and disciples of Jesus. We see interruption in the way Jesus is claimed to have disturbed and righted the human narrative. We see interruption in a history of the saints whose lives became foolish to many, yet attest to the glory of God.
If prayer does not interrupt our lives, if the liturgy is not a bit of a surd that chafes us just a bit, if God does not interrupt our so-called illusion free philosophy of life...then it's probably not prayer. Authentic prayer is marked with a profound vulnerability, a fragility, that exposes each of our hearts and lives to the interruptive presence of the Creator and Sustainer of all. The next time you set about praying, listen for that odd, niggling, feeling in your heart: perhaps the irritating knocking in some neglected region of your heart is the doorway inviting you into a new place of relationship with God.

Hi! My name is Pearl. I have lived in Europe, Miami, Florida, and currently reside in Israel. I am originally from Czechoslovakia, so English is not my first language and therefore I ask you to excuse any grammar errors I make in my food articles. I do not like cold weather. I know rain in Israel is a blessing and I am not supposed to complain. I loved living in Miami because I love summer and the cold weather lasts only for about 2-3 weeks. This has been my second winter season in Eretz Israel and last year I survived it thanks to this soup. It is way more convenient to eat it than to drink homemade hot chocolate which is not going to keep your waist narrow. Too bad if the only exercise you love is walking in the mall wearing high heels.
Survive the Cold and Rainy Season at only 100 Calories
Note: Nursing mothers may consider passing on onion and garlic.
8 big zucchinis (scraped and cut into 2 inch chunks)
2 big onions (chopped)
1 head of garlic (peeled)
3 table spoons of olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
your favorite variety of green herbs – dried or fresh
optionally you can smuggle a table spoon of fake chicken soup mix
Brown onions on olive oil, add zucchinis and garlic and saute until the vegetables are soft. Add boiling water – so you cover all the vegetables plus extra inch or two above the veggies.Season with salt, pepper, soup mix and herbs. Cover and cook for about 10 minutes. Use blender and blend until smooth and creamy.
The secret of success of this soup is to saute the vegetable so it makes very yummy taste.
Enjoy and stay warm.

Scientists and researchers yesterday set out on a mission to uncover the secrets of the rare Greenland Shark. A representative told the public:
"The purpose of the mission is to understand more about the Greenland shark, a top predator in the Arctic, which lives for more than 272 years -- possibly more than 400, "This extreme age was only revealed by scientists from Copenhagen last year. Little else is known about how the shark survives in the deep seas around the Arctic Circle,"
The Greenland Shark is native to the cold, deep water of the North Atlantic and extremely elusive.
The Shark grows tremendously slow, less than half an inch (a centimetre) per year, suggesting a life span well beyond those of other vertebrates. The study concluded that the shark reaches sexual maturity by the ripe age of 150 years old. Pretty good for an old' shark.
Knowing exactly how old the shark is tricky. Unlike their bony fishy brethren that can be aged via analysis of their otoliths or ear stones, sharks, due to their excess cartilage are more difficult to determine age.
UNEXPECTED SHARK GIVES EXPLORER SHOCK OF HIS LIFE A National Geographic researcher is startled to see a Greenland shark where none has ever been seen before—off Russia's Franz Josef Land.
Greenland Sharks have a unique eye lens that grows continually throughout the Shark's lifetime. As the Shark gets older, more and more layers are added to the lens. Unlike dating trees, scientists can't count the rings but can remove each layer of the lens until they reach the embryonic nucleus. Similar to the 200-year-old rare Bowhead Whales that are also aged via their lenses.
Image: A Greenland was shark accidentally caught as bycatch on a research vessel in southwestern Greenland.
The tissue surrounding and inside the eye of the Shark is composed of proteins that accumulated when the Shark was born. The chemical composition of the eye lens nucleus is studied and analysed for an estimate of the shark's age.
Why the Sharks live as long as they do is unknown. Some have speculated that it could have to do with cold water climate the shark lives in slows down their metabolism creating less damage to the animal's tissue.
Due to the elusive nature of the Greenland Shark, nobody knows exactly how many Greenland Sharks there are left in the world. So every result is crucial.
"The longevity is remarkable, but I hope the public recognises how important that is with regard to how we manage and conserve Arctic and deep water ecosystems," says Aaron Fisk, an ecologist at the University of Windsor who was not involved with this research.
The expedition that set out yesterday hopes to demystify the giant creature, in an effort to protect the species from becoming endangered:
"This expedition is one of the first to try and understand the physiology of Greenland sharks. With the expertise we have on the ship, we're confident that we can find out more about what makes this fish such an amazing creature"

To George Washington from Alexander Hamilton, 2 May 1780
Morris Town May 2d 1780
Dr Sir
I am extremely sorry your Excellency has been troubled with the affair to which the papers transmitted in your letter of this morning relate. Admitting the possibility of Doctor Gordons not being the author of what I must always call a calumny, and had he not been an irreconcileable enemy to plain dealing, the matter might have been brought to a very easy issue, without the necessity of an appeal to you. My determination however on the contents of his letter will be a very summary one. I shall not follow him in his labored digressions, because the sense of some of them is to me unintelligible, and the rest do not merit an answer.
So far from being disposed to comply with the Doctor's conditions to avoid an inquiry, I consider the proposals he makes as a finishing stroke to that display of absurdity, littleness and effrontery, which characterizes the whole proceeding on his part; and I defy the utmost extent of his malignity and intrigue. I shall ever continue to hold him in the highest contempt—to [think] him to be the conniver of the charge against me 'till he gives up some other person as the author, and to represent him as such to all those with whom I have occasion to converse on the subject. I shall always speak of him in those terms which a sense of injury, and a conviction of his worthlessness dictate.
I hope Your Excellency will excuse the asperity of my expressions, which my respect for you would induce me to suppress, did I not owe it to my sensibility, wounded by the most barbarous attack upon my reputation and principles, to speak without reserve. I flatter myself, you Sir, are too well acquainted with my way of thinking to entertain the least doubt of my innocence; and I beg leave to assure you, that nothing will give me greater pleasure than to have the matter properly investigated. I am only apprehensive that the Doctor will so manage it as that it will be found inexpedient to bring it to a public discussion, and that the knowledge of circumstances will be confined to a few to be handed about as may best suit his purposes, to the prejudice of my character. Your Excellency too, I trust, will see the propriety of that delicacy by which I am withheld from making any formal appeal to public authority in my own justification. 'Tis the business of my accuser to bring me to justice and by anticipating him, I should not fail to incur the imputation of self-importance. I have the honor to be Your Excellency's Most Obedient and humble servant
Alex. Hamilton
I return Yr Excelly the papers from Doctor Gordon.

A market town of handsome, crumbling timber-framed Greek and Turkish houses, Kula attracts students of architecture for its authentic, unreconstructed styles, pictured in Cornucopia 22. Some 900 buildings have been identified as worth preserving. In this quiet town, surrounded by extinct volcanoes, bread is still baked in common ovens, shoe-makers, tin-smiths and tailors inhabit small shops and women weave carpets in hidden courtyards. But the textile factories that once flourished are gone, and there are hopes of harnessing the warm underground water to turn Kula into an elegant spa resort.
Kula lies 140km east of Izmir and is easy to get to by bus, but the only real way to see the region around the town is by car. The journey takes 90 minutes. A two-day hire from Izmir would cover the sights, but if you want to see the Lydian treasures in the museum in Uşak and take in Manisa then allow three days.
