Featured Article - November 2010
Short description: There are 14 members in the ABA receptor family in Arabidopsis thaliana. How these receptors differ in their response to a synthetic, seed-specific ABA agonist is now explored in two independent papers, using a combination of crystallography, NMR and biochemical approaches.
When plants encounter environmental stress conditions, such as drought, cold or high salinity, they can't just pick up and leave to find greener pastures. Instead, plants mount adaptive responses to survive such conditions, including closing of the leaf stomata, stimulating root growth and maintaining seeds and buds in a dormant state. All these physiological responses are mediated by plant hormone abscisic acid (ABA). Due to its potential agricultural applications, ABA signaling has been an active area of investigation. In particular, it was established that inhibition of type 2 protein phosphatases (PP2C) takes place in response to ABA, but the identity of the ABA receptor(s) remained undefined despite intensive research, with a few false candidates put forth.
Then, in 2009, several independent groups published genetic, biochemical and structural evidence that a family of proteins called PYR (for "pyrabactin resistance"), PYL ("PYR-like proteins") or RCARs ("regulatory component of ABA receptor") were the receptors for ABA. This body of work was highlighted as one of the scientific breakthroughs of 2009. The research showed that, when bound to ABA, PYR/PYL proteins interact with and inhibit PP2C. More specifically, the presence of ABA within the ligand-binding pocket of PYR/PYL proteins induced a conformational change (closure of 2 loops flanking the ligand binding pocket). Contributing to this breakthrough was the use of pyrabactin, a synthetic ABA agonist specific for response in seeds.
Now the structural basis for pyrabactin selective effects on PYR/PYL proteins are studied in atomic detail. Brian Volkman, Sean Cutler, George Phillips and colleagues (ref 1, PSI CESG) use multiple structural and biochemical approaches to show that pyrabactin adopts different conformations within the ligand binding pockets from different PYR/PYL. Crystal structures reveal that pyrabactin binding to PYR1 leads to closing of the loops and recruitment of PP2C, similar to the effect of ABA binding. In contrast, PYL2 is less responsive to pyrabactin, and this is explained by NMR data indicating that pyrabactin binds to the ligand-binding pocket in multiple conformations, including non-productive orientations, with the net result of inefficient loop closure. Substitution of Ile100 and Ile62 residues in the ligand-binding pocket of PYR1 led to variants that allowed non-productive orientation of pyrabactin.
An independent report, led by Karsten Melcher and Eric Xu (ref 2), also examines the effect of pyrabactin on different PYR/PYL proteins. In addition to confirming that pyrabactin does not promote the recruitment of PP2C to PYL2, the authors actually find that pyrabactin can compete with and inhibit the binding of ABA to PYL2; thus, pyrabactin is a PYL2-selective antagonist. The authors present crystal structures of PYL1-pyrabactin-PP2C and PYL2-pyrabactin complexes, observing features similar to those described above. They also show that mutations in residues within the ligand binding pockets of PYL1 or PYL2 can determine the effect of pyrabactin. Finally, the structural information on pyrabactin binding is used to identify compounds with agonist action on ABA receptors by computational docking, followed by in vitro validation.
Both of these studies indicate that the variations in the ligand-binding pocket of PYR/PYL members have a physiological role, and suggest that the regulation of ABA responses may involve endogenous signals other than ABA, as agonists or antagonists. They also pave the way for biotechnological applications, such as controlling stress tolerance and improving crop yields.

Voices in the week's news: December 4, 2009
| Download MP3
State Legislators requested stimulus funds for Addison County and questioned Entergy officials on its spin-off proposal, state workers agreed to a pay cut and Vermont's Congressional delegation voiced concerns over the President's Afghanistan buildup and the confirmation of Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke.
These were some of the voices in the news this week.
Legislative Leaders Want Stimulus Funds For Addison County (12/02)
(House Speaker Shap Smith) "We need to help these businesses that are having a really difficult time now get back on their feet and stay in business. Everybody that we have talked to has been talking to us and saying, 'What are you going to help us get through this difficult time?'"
Lawmakers, Regulators Question Yankee Spin Off (12/03)
(Richard Saudek, former chairman of the Public Service Board) "Apparently Mr. Thayer feels more confident in Enexus than he does in Entergy, I guess he said. You don't get that confidence in the debt picture."
State Employees To See 3% Pay Cut (12/03)
(VSEA Director Jes Kraus) "I think this just signals that our bargaining teams, our members, certainly recognize the severity of the current economic situation. They have for a long time. This isn't the first time that they've offered to try and help."
Afghanistan Plan Draws Concern From Vt. Delegation (12/02)
(Congressman Peter Welch) "They're in Afghanistan to some extent 500 or so in Pakistan they're in other countries like Yemen and Somalia we have a decentralized threat and we are having a policy that basically depends on an occupation military force and nation building and that's what I think is a mistake in the long run in Afghanistan."
Sanders Aims To Block Bernanke Confirmation (12/03)
(Senator Bernie Sanders) "Since the collapse of Wall Street the Fed has greatly expanded its role and among other things they have lent out trillions - I'm talking about trillions of dollars - to financial institutions. And we don't know who received the money, we don't know what terms they received the money under, we don't know if there are any conflicts of interest and that to me is just totally absurd."

Electronics Repair Questions? Ask an Electronics Technician
Hi there happy to help.
You can try the following to see if your remote is sending signals.....
Using the camera function of a cell phone watch through the phones camera screen while pointing the remote at the phone and pressing buttons. You should see a "flash" through the phone. If you don't see this your remote is damaged/not functioning.
Double check your batteries and that they are installed correctly.
Other than this, you may need a replacement remote. Any number of things could be wrong with the remote, from loose connections to failed components. Most of the time they are not serviceable items since replacement is usually cheaper.
You can find a replacement remote for your system here, if it comes to that.

Discussion in 'Fantasy Sports Central' started by webz, Oct 2, 2009.
My team is just starting to wake up.
Nice game Roscoe. You came close to winning. Don't feel too bad about falling short, my team was built for the Consolation Bracket Playoffs. Sent from outerspace
I was so tired last night when I posted, I thought it was Sunday night, not Saturday night. I am still in this. Barely.
I like the snake draft format. I'd rather have pick 1 and 20 than 10 and 11 any day. #1 is basically like getting a 5th keeper. IMO, this league is won on the waiver wire anyway.
Dwight Howard and Anthony Davis are officially in the doghouse. Losing them each for a game late this week KILLED me in this tight matchup.
And I think I agree with BDL about the draft format. I'm still thinking about it, though.
AAAAGHHH! I wish it was Sunday. Looks like you took the victory and the number one pick. Damn. Congratulations Roscoe.
Wow, thanks friend. That was crazy close. I was refreshing the box score every 5 minutes for the last couple hours. It doesn't get much closer than this.
This week Final: #2 BDL v #4 webz 3rd place: #1 Ralphi v #3 CJ Draft picks for next season already locked in: 1. Roscoe 2. Linwood 3. DBA 4. Winless 5. Slippy 6. Laimbeer
Good luck mate!
Take that trash talk out of here.
Shut it, BDL.
I remember offering my entire roster to you for Anthony Davis earlier this season. In hindsight, you should have accepted that deal. We have a chance to repeat. Looking at our roster, we probably don't desrve to be here.
So, you think your team is too good to be here? Keeper League used to be about sportsmanship and humility. You see what expansion has done to it...
I am happy we sort of redeemed our horrible season by capturing the #1 pick.
After day-1 of championship competition, the Wombats have a slight edge in rebounding 70 - 14 over the Squirrels. My team is already in a 0-1 hole for the week as far as the 9 categories are concerned.
But, but, you've got TO already locked up. ;P Played an extra PF this week cos I had to sit Westbrook. He had 3 games of which one he'd be sitting due to being a back to back. Hopefully it doesn't hurt me elsewhere.
The snake draft (yes, I'm a little behind) is the fairest if there is a consistent drop off in player value from the best to the worst. It becomes more and more unfair to the top pickers if value falls off rapidly - if a graph of player ability was a straight line with players ranked from best to worst then ability falls off consistently, if the graph curves downward sharply after the top few, then ability does not fall off consistently and the top pickers are penalized. Clearly the latter is the case, but perhaps not so strongly for the first couple of rounds. So maybe the best draft is a snake for three or four rounds and then consistent picks for the rounds following (if you pick first, you pick first in every round after four or five). I'm guessing ESPN or Yahoo don't do that.
It does even out over the long run. If you think about where Rascoe is picking, he will only get 1 player out of the first 19 where everyone else will have 2 in the top 19. If you go two picks later, though, Rascoe will have 3 of the top 21 players where everyone else would only have 2 guys. In my baseball draft last night, the guy with the first pick took Mike Trout, far and away the best player. It was only fair that he would have to wait with a snake draft for this to even out some. After thinking about this, snake or auction are the best choices in my opinion. As stated, auction isn't fun unless most everyone can make it.
Ok I am happy we're having this debate because you guys are smart and bring more perspective to the opinion I had started to form. I am ok if we stay with snake or change it to be honest because it's really subjective where the value in the draft lies, and each draft will be different so there is no one size fits all answer.
Separate names with a comma.

Went to Missouri one day after getting it back from them. Did great. No problems at all. Was not especially happy with the mileage as is was 15 miles to the gallon. Of course, that was traveling about 75 miles per hour and pulling some fairly hefty grades...8% was the worst I can remember on 24 by Chattanooga. Am hoping for a bit better here in the flats. As soon as possible I will try to size the tires down a bit. They are 315's and I think really bring the mileage down. Other than that, great truck that I am really happy with!

If you were in stop and go traffic I would pick the 6.4 but if you are above 30mph I would pick the 7.3 all day. Add a programmer to the 7.3 and it is hands down 7.3 in any situation. When my Dad got his truck we "raced" off a stop light and with the programmer I was about 2 1/2 car lengths ahead of him. Without the programmer I bet he would have beat me but the 7.3 really pulls away when the tranny shifts to 3rd. Our race did top out at 60mph which was the speed limit.
I will say that the 6.4 has a MUCH tighter turning radius, which comes in very handy.

Five Ways to Migrate Applications to the Cloud
Migration strategies organizations should consider when moving to the cloud.
In IT circles, the expectation is that the cloud will very quickly evolve from today's primary role as a storage and backup service to a full-scale application layer.
That's going to require tweaks to much of today's current network infrastructure, which is primarily geared toward optimizing data tiers rather than application performance. Indeed, as channelbuzz.ca's Chris Talbot noted this week, the biggest hurdle is putting cloud-based applications on a performance parity with in-house services. As you might expect, WAN optimization will play a key role in this effort.
A quick scan of some of the more recent optimization and acceleration releases shows that some of the pieces are already falling into place. Cisco, for example, just refreshed its Wide Area Application Services (WAAS) portfolio, offering a five-fold increase in throughput, plus a specialized data redundancy software module aimed at doubling application and network optimization without hampering the user experience. Cisco expects the number of network-based applications to hit 1 million by the end of the decade.
The increasing focus on network application performance is producing a number of innovations on the part of small optimization developers. Exinda, for example, is beta testing a virtual version of its Unified Performance Management appliance designed to allow greater deployment flexibility in cloud environments. The system offers the same functionality as the hardware platform, including application visibility and monitoring, as well as policy-based application classification and prioritization.
Network providers are also taking steps to ensure their platforms are application-friendly. Level 3 just added a new WAN optimization component to its services portfolio that includes benefits like dedicated Internet access (DIA), increased application visibility and streamlined access through network-based firewalls. The company says its goal is to provide an optimized network environment that can be entrusted with the highest level business-critical apps.
Building up that level of trust may take some time, however. At this stage in the game, most organizations are probably content to stick with the mainstream SaaS applications like CRM and project management functions.

There he is, drumming on "Tutti Frutti," "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'," and thousands of other songs. As a studio player in New Orleans and Los Angeles from the 1940s through the 1970s, Earl Palmer co-created hundreds of hits and transformed the lope of rhythm and blues into full-tilt rock and roll. He was, as a result, one of the first session men to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Palmer's distinctive voice alternates with the insights of music journalist and historian Tony Scherman in an unforgettable trip through the social and musical cultures of mid-century New Orleans and the feverish world of early rock.

Anybody happen to buy one of the new Feelfree Lure kayaks?
Our local Hook1 store has been buying fitss getting them here, supposed to show up 3 weeks ago, still none delivered.
Just wanting some opinions on it. I've paddled around on it a little during the demo days, but haven't gotten a chance to fish out of them. Over all they look like a rock solid yak, and the seat feels better than the seats in my truck.


text: By SEAN MURPHYOKLAHOMA CITY (AP) â¿¿ As Republican legislators look for ways to tighten the state's budget belt, and score points with an increasingly conservative electorate, they are targeting federal assistance programs popular among low-income and needy Oklahomans. Last year, the GOP-led Legislature passed a measure subjecting welfare recipients to drug tests, and so far this year close to a dozen measures have been introduced targeting assistance programs like the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), also called food stamps, and Temporary Aid to Needy Families, or unemployment benefits. Some of the bills create new requirements for those who receive assistance, like requiring recipients to work more hours, or prohibit certain people, like those convicted of drug crimes or with $5,000 or more in assets, from receiving benefits. "We should define compassion by the number of people we're helping get off these programs, not keep on them," said new House Speaker T.W. Shannon, R-Lawton, who has a bill that would require able-bodied, childless adults under age 50 who receive food stamps to spend a minimum of 35 hours per week engaged in "work activities." "I think we also have to recognize that often times government subsidy programs often can lead to dependence, and we need to make sure we're not perpetuating dependence, that we're encouraging personal responsibility." A fiscal analysis of Shannon's bill suggests it would cost the Department of Human Services an estimated $18.7 million for the agency to add staff, develop work components and training, and change its system to comply with the requirements. The analysis projects nearly 5,200 recipients could be dropped from the program, for an estimated savings of $1 million. The bill could pose additional problems, since the federal agency that administers the program, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, has said states cannot change or raise the work limits, according to DHS.

Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO)
Filing a Complaint
In accordance with the Judiciary Policy on Equal Employment Opportunity and Harassment as well as federal and state anti-discrimination laws, any member of the Judiciary who believes he/she has been discriminated against may file a complaint with the Fair Practices Department (FPD). The FPD is responsible for conducting investigations of alleged discrimination and sexual harassment complaints. Any employee or applicant at any time may contact the FPD for purposes of advice, discussion of an alleged discrimination complaint and/or assistance in undertaking a formal or informal resolution of a complaint. The Fair Practices Officer or his/her designee upon receipt of a written complaint will normally undertake an investigation leading to a formal determination. If there are multiple reports of alleged illegal harassment or discrimination or of a single allegation of particularly grievous harassment or discrimination, the Fair Practices Officer may initiate an investigation in the absence of receipt of a written complaint. Complaints should be submitted as soon as possible after the alleged discrimination has occurred in order to permit prompt and equitable resolution. In situations that require immediate action because of safety or other concerns, the Judiciary may take any necessary action (e.g. suspension with pay) in order to facilitate the investigation.
The investigation shall be completed as thoroughly and expeditiously as possible.
Any Judiciary staff/employee in a supervisory role has the duty to report to the FPD any known alleged discriminating behavior based on sex, race or other basis that creates a hostile environment, whether or not an alleged victim has made a complaint.
Complaint Procedures
The complainant must complete a Complaint of Discrimination/Harassment/Retaliation form. The complaint should be filed within 120 days from the date the alleged act of discrimination, harassment or retaliation took place or 120 days from the time complainant had knowledge of the alleged act and must include:
- Complainant's Name (individual making the complaint);
- Complainant's Location;
- Complaint's Department/Unit;
- Respondent's Name (the individual(s) against whom the complaint is made);
- Respondent's Location;
- Respondent's Department;
- Statement of Facts to include:
- (Basis for the alleged discrimination, harassment, and/or retaliation;
- Date(s) of occurrence(s);
- Date(s) of first knowledge of the occurrence(s);
- Nature of Complaint (Specific and definite issues of fact and the factors you believe support the complaint;
- Name of witnesses (if applicable);
- Resolution sought;
- Representative (if applicable).
The form must be signed and dated by the Complainant.
Upon receipt of a written complaint, the FPD will schedule an interview with the Complainant.
The FPD will notify and interview the person(s) named in the complaint (Respondent) to apprise them of the charges and afford them an opportunity to respond.

As the one month anniversary of the Sandy Hook Elementary School tragedy passed, the White House has announced a change of plans for President Obama's assault weapons ban. The announcement comes after Vice President Joe Biden and Attorney General Eric Holder met with gun supporters and gun manufacturers and sellers to come up with a viable solution for the surge in gun violence. Following the meetings, the White House calculates that a ban on assault weapons will be too tough to get through Congress.
Instead, the White House is considering more "politically achievable" goals, such as strengthening background checks and keeping guns away from the mentally ill. The news will be disappointing to those who believed President Obama would possibly use Executive Orders as well as Legislative Orders to solve the problem of gun violence as Biden disclosed .
In his public comments after the meetings, Biden — who President Obama appointed to lead the task force — did not mention an assault weapons ban at all as he discussed the work of the committee, which will be delivering suggestions to the president on Tuesday. Biden noted that his former colleagues in the Senate have long been "pretty universally opposed to any restrictions on gun ownership or what type of weapons can be purchased."
After seeing the media's reaction to Biden's obvious neglect to discuss the ban on assault weapons, the White House released a statement removing blame from the president and placing it on Congress. "President Obama has been clear that Congress should reinstate the assault weapons ban and that avoiding this issue just because it's been politically difficult in the past is not an option," said spokesman Matt Lehrich. "He's also stressed that no single piece of legislation alone can solve this problem, which is why he has asked Vice President Biden to explore a wide array of proposals on topics ranging from gun laws to mental health to school safety."
David Keene, President of the National Rifle Association, also says that he does not expect to see a ban on assault weapons anytime soon. "I would say that the likelihood is that they are not going to be able to get an assault weapons ban through this Congress," Keene said on CNN's "State Of The Union."
Many political observers find themselves disappointed that the ban would not pass through Congress, and see this as evidence of serious corruption. Dr. Boyce Watkins, a professor at Syracuse University and advocate against gun violence asks,"What in the world does anyone need an assault weapon for anyway? The fact that Congress may buckle on this issue shows that making a profit is clearly more important than protecting children. It also says that many of our political leaders have become corrupted beyond repair."

A Look Back At The Splendor Of Detroit's Now Abandoned Buildings [Pics]
Photography project captures life in the city's public spaces before and after the Recession.
In 1950, nearly 1,850,000 people lived in Detroit. By 2010, this number dwindled down to 713,000. Detroiturbex is a photography website that explores and catalogs the abandoned buildings of Detroit, among them schools, churches, the downtown area, and parks.
The site asks 'what happened to Detroit?'. While most of the website consists of photos reflecting the existing conditions, a feature documenting the Lewis Cass Technical High School caught our attention. The photo project splices images onto the interior and exteriors of buildings, showing the former life of the buildings and providing a poignant visual clue to what caused the city's downfall. Cass Tech was a school that flourished from 1917 to 2005 and now sits decaying. Take a look at the gallery below.
Visit Detroiturbex to see the rest of the photography project.
We also recommend that you take a look at an interactive map of Cass Tech the Detroiturbex team developed using Google Sketchup Pro. It provides a detailed breakdown of the building's floor plans and how the recession has impacted it.

I have been diagnosed with Cholanglocarinoma. My cancer is in the bile ducts in the liver. I have undergone chemo and radiation and the oncologist wants to do more chemo. I would like to find an oncologist in California that has treated bile duct cancer. If anyone can recommend someone, I would appreciate it. My cancer is inopertable so I have been told my only options are chemo and radiation and now I have had as much radiation as I can have.

A Southern California father has obtained a restraining order against a fourth-grader who pulled a knife on his son, the Los Angeles Times tells us.
It's the first time a court has ordered a child to stay away from a classmate, school officials say.
Robert Casteel is angry that Jurupa Unified School District officials only suspended the aggressor for five days after he flashed the 2.5-inch pocket knife at his 10-year-old son two weeks ago and threatened to "get you after school." He says he sought a restraining order because he believes school officials have been too lenient.
"It's unbelievable to me that a kid can bring a knife to school and face very little consequences," he told The Press Enterprise of Riverside. "It should be more than a five-day suspension."
Superintendent Elliott Duchon defended how the district is handling the incident at Mission Bell Elementary School.
"We're investigating the incident and following appropriate disciplinary procedures," Duchon said. "We're concerned anytime a student brings any kind of weapon to school and take it seriously."

Have you recently suffered in an accident through no fault of your own?
If so, we may be able to help you claim compensation. We help people who have suffered a personal injury to get recompense for their suffering and costs incurred as a result (such as medical bills).
Our clients can often successfully recover thousands of pounds. Please bear in mind that generally, you need to bring your accident claim within 3 years of the injury. Of course, there are rules to this procedure and we have a team of experts to help you.
We know that if you have suffered an injury, the last thing you want to do is trawl through intimidating piles of paperwork. All you need to do is arrange a no-obligation confidential assessment consultation with one of our advisers over the telephone and we can advise you.
If you chose to proceed, we will put you in touch with one of our expert solicitors. Our professionals have expertise in all relevant accident claims areas, from car accident compensation claims to work accident compensation claims.
What about legal costs? We can help you in this area of the procedure too. Have you heard of a scheme called no win no fee? It means that if you qualify, you do not have to pay your legal fees if you lose your case. This means that even if your road traffic accident compensation claims fail for any reason, you are still not out of pocket.
Just get in touch and we can help you to take part in this scheme if you are eligible. It is important for you to claim what is due to you.
We have helped with many successful cases of road accident compensation claims, work accident compensation and more.
There's no need to suffer in silence, we're here to help those who have suffered make successful accident claims and obtain the financial compensation they deserve for the trauma and consequences of their accident. You have nothing to lose, start you risk-free no win no fee claim today!
*There will be two scenarios where your solicitor may charge you for their costs:
1- if you have been found to be making a fraudulent claim
2- Non-cooperation by you, which jeopardises the outcome of your claim

Capitalising on the zeitgeist for mathematically gifted students
Diezmann, Carmel M. (2002) Capitalising on the zeitgeist for mathematically gifted students. Australasian Journal of Gifted Education, 11(2), pp. 5-10.
|PDF (178kB)
Mathematically gifted individuals contribute to society through their knowledge production and leadership in mathematics and other mathematically-oriented disciplines (i.e., science, engineering and technology). In contemporary society, individuals with high-level mathematical capability are essential to ensure the prosperity of society in the "knowledge economy". However, concomitantly with the valuing of these individuals there has been a serious concern that Australia is not producing sufficient individuals with high-level mathematical capabilities. The convergence of the appreciation of the role of the mathematically gifted and the recognition of a shortfall in numbers of individuals with mathematical capability has created a Zeitgeist ─ "a window of opportunity" ─ for enhancing the education of mathematically gifted students. This paper discusses why there is a Zeitgeist for some mathematically gifted students and why other mathematically gifted students may not benefit from these times, and provides suggestions to improve the education of ALL mathematically gifted students.

The last annual play directed by Sheila Ashcroft-Shupe at Dundas Central Public School will be presented May 7 and 8 at 7 p.m. From set designs and painting, to sound boards and lights, more than 75 students have been working hard since January with no guidance and assistance from adults. This year's production is loosely adapted from the children's novel by Canadian author Gordan Korman called I Want to Go Home.

For over 30 years, with the help of her daughters, Ashcroft-Shupe has been writing and directing school plays for the Hamilton-Wentworth District School Board. Rachel Shupe-Joudrie co-wrote and adapted this year's play, while Veronica Shupe-Bowen has organized a play blog (ashcroftshupe.commons.hwdsb.on.ca), mixed the m usic score, created the program and co- directed.

Ashcroft-Shupe will be retiring in June. Tickets for Camp Getaway are $3 at the door, 73 Melville St., Dundas.

Can a public traded company invest in a privately owned company for equity?
Short answer is yes.
Longer answer is that each company may have internal guidelines about such investments; and depending on the size of the investment, there may be reporting requirements and standards of reasonableness to be met.
You don't tug on Superman's cape; you don't spit into the wind; you don't pull the mask off the old Lone Ranger; And you don't get legal advice from a free Q&A page on the Internet.

There is no legal restriction on an investment in a non-public company by one that is publicly held. It happens frequently. Many "start up" owners have in mind to make their company attractive to a large, publicly traded company so they can get acquired. The hard part, of course is creating a company which has true value which will be attractive to an established, publicly traded company.

My son is a big fan of Divinity but being from the midwest we are out of luck. If you do find Divinity it tastes more like nougat. I went on line and found Savannah's Candy Kitchen. You did not disappoint. This is by far the best divinity I have ever tasted. Light as a cloud and melt in your mouth delicious.

This is the best Divinity my family & I have ever eaten! We are so hooked on the Divinity, we haven't tried anything else (yet!). All other so-called Divinity that I've purchased elsewhere, is nougat like in texture and taste, and you taste artificial additive's. My homemade Divinity is delicious, but it's a treat for the Cook, to order from this fine Company. Thank you for your wonderful candy.
Feb 18, 2014 | By Brenda Saint
During a trip we discovered your store several years ago. I was delighted to find you on the internet. The divinity is as good as I remember it. I will be ordering more and the 15% will be an additional pleasure. Service was perfect and was just as promised. Thank you.

I used to be able to make decent divinity, but since moving to a different climate, all my efforts have flopped! I thought I'd give this divinity a try, and I'm totally hooked. I'll never waste sugar or egg whites (or effort) again. It's melt-in-your-mouth amazing!

Surgeon recommendations for Minnesota
- Minnesota9
- Last updated: 4 years ago
I am a 50 year old woman that is 5'4" and 125 lbs. My 21 year old daughter is roughly the same size and we are both considering breast reduction. I was fitted for a G cup and I am guessing she is larger yet. We had a consultation with Dr. Brian Kobienia. He appears to be good, but I have nothing to back that up and no one I know has ever had this done. I visited another website and was terrified by the response I got on not doing enough homework. Does anyone know this doctor? He is board certified, showed before and after pictures. I don't know. As much pain as we are both in, I feel like going ahead, but I'm unsure. Thanks for any help.

- Preheat oven to 325 F.
- Wash beets and slice into quarters. Cut each quarter into 1/4 inch slices.
- Put beets on baking sheet. Add olive oil, sea salt and pepper and mix together completely. Spread beets out again on baking sheet.
- Roast for 25 to 45 minutes, checking often. Remove from oven when slightly tender.
- Meanwhile, combine vinegar and maple syrup in a small pan over high heat. Cook until vinegar has reduced to a syrup-like consistency, stirring often. Remove from heat.
- When beets are fully cooked, pour glaze over top and sprinkle with freshly grated orange zest.

I was skeptical about eating beets but the vendor at our farmer's market claims they are the new super food so I decided to give this a try. I was expecting them to taste like dirt as usual (just like chard does). I think roasting vegetables makes almost any of them taste pretty good and it worked with beets too, but the sauce made them even more delicious. Amazing! (I thought someone should comment on this recipe. They were really good!)
never had a beet in my life…tried this recipe: NOM, NOM! i heart them!
These are delish! One question, I went ahead and peeled my beets, but was wondering if if that was necessary. Thanks for this addition to my favorites.
My brother used carrots and this was an outstanding delicious recipe!

Have Medical Questions? Ask a Doctor Online!
Hello and thank you for the question. Answers given are for informational purposes only and are not meant to replace an exam by an in-person.
I am Dr. Sohaib, a practicing Internal Medicine Specialist and i will do my best to help you today.
You need to answer a few questions first which will help me assist you in a better way.
Has she been evaluated for the stomach pain? Is it associated with heart burn? Tested for possible stomach ulcers/reflux or H.Pylori infection in the stomach?
I have switched to Q & A mode since we could not communicate via chat.
Please answer the questions i have asked so that i proceed further towards and answer for you.
Hi There,
lower stomach, on the area where she had the surgery and spreads acroos to the other side also
the only medication given so far is the Gastrosmooth but I will ask for further treatment options for her if needed, so no to the above question
Thank you for the useful information Sharon.
It appears that the most likely cause for her pain is development of Adhesions, which are fibrotic bands which may form around the bowel loops following surgery.
This is a common condition which affects people who undergo extensive or complicated abdominal surgeries.
Unfortunately adhesions are difficult to pick up on routine investigations like X-rays.
MRI is a useful test to diagnose this, and if this fails to pick the surgeon may perform a laparoscopic diagnostic laparatomy during which he can diagnose and treat the adhesions (adhesionectomy) in one go.
Therefore, you should get back to her surgeon, discuss the details i have mentioned and get a management plan that suits best to her needs.
I would have been worried too if I were at your place, but let me reassure you that this does not sound serious at all. It is a treatable condition and carries a good prognosis with appropriate management.
It was a pleasure assisting you and thank you very much for visiting us.
My goal is to provide you with Excellent Service - if satisfied with the response, Please do not forget to Rate my service.
If you feel you have gotten anything less, please reply back, I am happy to address follow-up questions.
Kindest Regards.

Coyne annihilates Steele
By Brian Grammer at ringside
WBC USNBC Champion Ryan "The Irish Outlaw" Coyne (16-0, 6 KOs) successfully defended his title, destroying challenger Shane Steele (7-3, 5 KOs) by way of a crushing, 2nd round knockout. Coyne, who concentrated on both his defense and power in training for this fight, displayed the new focus, picking off shots with his gloves, sitting down on his punches and firing his ripping right hooks.
A beautiful night underneath the stars at St. Louis, Missouri's Forest Park set the backdrop for an exciting night of action for Fight Night Promotions, Boxing in the Park.
In the first, Coyne put up a solid guard while he measured Steele's power. "We worked hard in the gym on turning defense into offense", the 'Irish Outlaw' said. Midway through the round, the champion found his opening by pounding Steele to the body with powerful right hooks. The challenger immediately felt Coyne's power, dropping his elbow to try to cover up. At that point, Coyne fired a straight left hand that staggered Steele, and then followed up with another right to the ribs, dropping the challenger. Steele remained on the mat until referee Steve Smoger got to the count of nine, then rose to his feet. Steele answered affirmatively when Smoger asked if he would like to continue, but was dropped again by Coyne following 7 consecutive right hooks. Steele rose to his feet once again and survived until the end of the round.
In the second, Coyne continued his vicious attack of his opponents ribs, pounding away with his powerful right hands whenever the opportunity presented, then followed with piston-like straight left hands when the challenger dropped his arms to protect himself. Midway into the second, Coyne further mixed up his attack with tremendous uppercuts, forcing Steele to completely coverup and after a combination of a right uppercut, right hook to the body and a straight left hand to the jaw, Steele succumbed to the attack, floored for the third and final time. Steve Smoger immediately waved the contest to a halt, summoning the ring doctor in the process.
Smoger after the fight explained that although Steele was taking tremendous punishment, he continued to have clear eyes and responded with punches when asked to defend himself. It wasn't until the final combination leading to the knockout that Steele was ever in any serious trouble.
When asked after the fight about the obvious emphasis in throwing the right hook, Coyne responded, "Although I may be Irish through and through, I have a tremendous Mexican trainer in Jose Ponce and he says it is a sin not to go to the body".
Coyne commented that he is going to be a fighting champion and would like to defend his title again on the undercard of the just signed Devon Alexander-Tim Bradley undercard, scheduled for January 29, 2011. "Don King has been busy this week tying up the loose ends in getting the Alexander-Bradley fight signed, so hopefully we can talk to him soon to line up an opponent for me as well", Coyne remarked.
In other fights on the card, Welterweights Troy White (0-0-1) and Jeffrey Combs (0-1-1) went 4 rounds, fighting to a majority draw. White worked in spurts, primarily behind straight left hands and combinations, taking the action to Combs. The counterpunching Combs, held off the advancing White by throwing lightning quick jabs. Judge Barbara Madison, saw White winning the fight by a score of 39-37, but judges Marty Bickle and Jackson Harper scored the contest as a 38-38 draw.
142lb Deandre Gibson (1-0) won his professional debut by outpointing tough Jamar Hampton (1-4, 1 KO). Gibson, who survived a first round knockdown from a Hampton straight hand, got up from the canvas, and worked hard to win the judges favor, 38-37 on all three scorecards.
By way of an explosive 2nd round knockout, cruiserweight Nick Reeder (1-0, 1 KO) won his professional debut over Kevin Jones (1-2, 1 KO). Reeder, who showed speed and power in both hands, knocked Jones down twice in the 1st round. Just 25 seconds into the 2nd, Reeder threw a picture-perfect right cross, floored Jones for a 3rd time, prompting referee Steve Smoger to wave off any further action.
Action packed accurately described the contest between welterweights Tyrone "TNT" Chatman (6-1, 5 KOs) and Dedrick Bell (4-3, 3 KOs). The shorter, stockier Chatman showed explosive power in both hands, moved Bell around the ring with quick, powerful left hands and sneaky strong right hooks. Bell, the taller fighter by 6 inches, held his own throughout the fight by leading with long jabs and clipping rights. This four rounder surprising went the distance and all three judges were in agreement, scoring the contest 40-36 for Chatman.

You are the one who can decide that.Quote:
Do I really need a gun when I'm in the house of God?
Many say that "God will protect me and mine". But that doesn't line up with the others who have been killed in church shootings.
Were they just sinners who God decided to take out in a violent manner?
Look to the Old testament. God had Nehemiah's men armed as they rebuilt the temple. And they set watchmen to keep guard.
I believe there is Biblical precedent for being armed in His house.
Sent from my GS 3 using Tapatalk 2
I carry my Colt Commander to church every Sunday. I attend near Boulder, CO, where a large chunk of the world's crazies live, so it doesn't hurt to have some protection. God is sovereign but man is responsible.
My wife wouldn't approve, so I keep it low key at church. Seecamp LSW32 in the front pocket. I usher and take up the offering, so I think its my duty to be prepared.
Had my G19 in a Galco Royal Guard and a spare magazine. Also had my daughter baptised at church on veterans day!
I have had some people get on me about carrying in church and saying, trust God. I do trust God, but there are many stories of people shooting up churches. So I either carry my Beretta Nano in my pocket or my new Sig Sauer SP2022 in a Fobus paddle under my jacket.
My Pastor and several elders are always armed at every service ! Got to protect the flock as you know ! I take comfort in personally knowing each and every one of them are. I do feel better knowing my G-27 is warm if and ready if needed.
May you be raised-up as you bow down. :wink:
Today, it's my CZ75 Compact with an extra mag. I switch it up sometimes with my Ruger SR1911 with 2 extra mags.
Funny story...I never had to ask my pastor for permission to carry. We were new to the area and my wife and I were church shopping, trying to find a good fit for us. As I was looking through the church bulletin I found that they, THE CHURCH, were holding a CCW class the following week. I signed up thinking that this just might be the right church.
When I attended class, without knowing it, I sat next to the head pastor. After getting to know him and most of the deacons (in class) I was pretty sure this was the right church for us.
We still shopped and we prayed about it just to be thorough but I KNEW in my heart where we would be worshiping in the future. I mean, how cool is that? I met my pastor at a CCW class sponsored by and held at the church.
Lest any bad guys get some funny ideas, atctimmy's church is armed to the teeth. Look elsewhere for wimps and victims.

Kentucky wins 22nd in a row
Victory against Cincinnati sets school record for Wildcats
CINCINNATI -- Behind a career-high four hits from Thomas McCarthy, three hits from Luke Maile, including his sixth homer of the year, and 5.2 shutout innings from freshman Chandler Shepherd, No. 2 Kentucky posted a 10-7 victory against Cincinnati to extend its school-record winning streak to 22 games to open 2012.
UK has now equaled the second-best winning streak in the storied history of the Southeastern Conference, tying the 22-game winning streak set by the 2000 South Carolina Gamecocks. LSU owns the SEC record – a 23-game winning streak – with a 23-game streak that began on April 22, 2008 vs. Tulane and ended on June 1, 2008 against UC Irvine in the NCAA Super Regional.
The Wildcats were paced at the plate by one of the hottest hitters in college baseball, Maile. After belting two homers, including a Friday-night walk-off homer in a series sweep of No. 2 South Carolina over the weekend, Maile launched his sixth homer of the year in the victory against UC, reaching base safely in all six plate appearances. Maile finished 3-for-3 with two RBI, a double, a homer, two walks and a 3-2 count hit by pitch. UK also got a career-best four hits from McCarthy, who added his fifth double of 2012.
UK got hits from all nine members of the starting lineup, as A.J. Reed, Cameron Flynn and Michael Williams each recorded multiple-hit games. J.T. Riddle, Matt Reida, Austin Cousino and Zac Zellers each added hits.
UK starter Chandler Shepherd (2-0) worked a career-long 5.2 innings, allowing five hits and two runs with no walks and two strikeouts. Shepherd faced only two three-ball counts in the game, finishing just one out shy of his first career quality start. Walter Wijas came on to replace him with two outs and a runner at third in the sixth inning, getting out of the inning and getting an out in the seventh. Wijas allowed two runs without surrendering a hit, walking one and striking out one. Tim Peterson replaced him with one out and two on in the seventh and allowed two runs on two hits before closing out the inning. Senior lefty Alex Phillips took over in the eighth inning and got his first save of the year, allowing three hits and one run.
Cincinnati starter Grant Walker (1-1) worked 3.2 innings, allowing seven hits and five runs, walking two and striking out two. Jason Pascuzzi replaced him in the fourth, getting out of the jam and working one inning, allowing four hits and one run. He was relieved by Matthew Lathuras, who tossed 1.1 innings, allowing a run on two hits. Thomas Gentile replaced Lathuras, working a shutout inning, with Ryan Atkinson taking over in the eighth and allowing one run on one hit and one walk in an inning. Zach Isler took over for Atkinson in the ninth, allowing two hits and two runs in 0.2 innings, with Evan Hills ending the ninth with one out.
The Wildcats jumped on the board in the top of the first inning, as Cousino led off the inning with a walk. Cosino then took second after a balk was called during Zellers' at bat. Zellers then grounded out to the right side to move Cousino to third with one out for Maile. Maile then lofted a single to leftfield over the drawn in infield, scoring Cousino. Reed followed and extended his hitting streak to a club-high 13 games with a liner into the gap, allowing Maile to reach third. Flynn then hung a sacrifice fly to right – his SEC-leading fifth of the year – to score Maile from third. McCarthy then roped a double to deep centerfield, scoring Reed from first.
UK added a run in the top of the third inning, as Maile smashed his sixth homer of the year over the left-centerfield fence, giving UK a 4-0 lead.
The Wildcats added to its lead in the top of the fourth inning. Riddle led off by chopping a grounder into the hole on the right side, forcing an off balance throw to first that sailed wide, allowing Riddle to take second on the two-base error. Williams then scored Riddle with a hard-hit single to left. After a pair of fielder's choices, Zellers singled into the gap in left-centerfield, pushing Cousino to third base, with Zellers taking second on the throw. Maile was then intentionally walked to load the bases for Reed, bringing on a left-handed reliever for Walker. Reed narrowly missed the grand slam, as his two-out fly ball was caught against the wall in rightfield for the final out.
In the fifth inning, UK added a run to make it 6-0. After a leadoff out, McCarthy singled through the left side, with Riddle replacing him at first base after a fielder's choice. Riddle then moved to second after Williams singled to the opposite field. Reida then notched his eighth two-out RBI of the year with a single through the right side, allowing Riddle to score his second run of the contest.
The Wildcats added a run in the top of the sixth, as Reed replaced Maile at first base after an unorthodox fielder's choice on a dropped fly in the outfield. McCarthy then ripped a single up the middle and Riddle scored Reed with a single into the right-centerfield gap for a 7-0 UK lead.
Cincinnati got on the board for the first time in the sixth inning with some two-out hitting, cutting the UK lead to 7-2. After a leadoff out, Jake Proctor snapped Shepherd's streak of 15 consecutive hitters retired with a single through the left side and Taylor Schmidt followed with a single to rightfield. After a line-out, Braden Kline tripled off the diving glove of Cousino in right-centerfield, scoring Proctor and Schmidt.
The Bearcats plated four runs on two hits in the bottom of the seventh to cut the UK lead to 7-6. After a leadoff out, Wijas hit Kiley Jones on the first pitch and walked J.P. Jackson. Pinch hitter T.J. Jones then singled up the middle and Proctor scored two with a triple into the gap. Schmidt then scored another with a sacrifice fly to leftfield.
UK immediately answered with a run in the top of the eighth, as Flynn led off with a single to centerfield and McCarthy drew a four-pitch walk. After a fielder's choice on an attempted sacrifice bunt got McCarthy out at second base and put runners on the corners with one out, Williams was struck out to bring up Reida. With two strikes on Reida, Flynn motored home to score on a wild pitch, making it 8-6 UK.
The Wildcats added two runs with some two-out hitting in the ninth inning, as Zellers led off with a laser down the leftfield line, taking second on an error. Maile then drew another walk and after a Reed strikeout, Flynn smacked a single through the left side to score Zellers from second. McCarthy then notched his fourth hit of the game with a single up the middle to give UK a 10-6 lead and chase Isler.
UC got on the board in the bottom of the ninth inning, as Jackson reached on a fielder's choice, scoring on Proctor's RBI single.

Preparing to sell a home you have lived in might be parts traumatic and parts exciting experience, especially if you are embarking on a personal adventure or if selling the house is purely by choice and not as a financial necessity. In any case, when you have lived in a place long enough, you stop seeing it as a product and a simple thorough cleaning seems like enough to prepare it for the market. It is, however, a bit more complicated than that. If you don't have the opportunity to work with a professional stager (a person who prepares your home for selling for a fee), you might want to research a few strategies that sell house fast.
I decided to share a few tips with you on how to best prepare for your first open house as I have already gone through this process twice in the past year – once for our country home and once for our suburban house, only a few months apart. Here is what I learned from my experience:
1. Avoid bold colours – I am a big fan of artistic interiors and had personally selected some bright yellows for the children's rooms, a deep blue for the master bedroom, as well as a fantastic (in my opinion) olive green for the living room and study. To say the least, our stager was shocked and quickly arranged for a complete repainting of all these rooms into neutral beiges and eggshell. Apparently, these are the colours that seem most attractive to a prospective buyer. In any case, a fresh coat of any neutral paint instantly makes your home more sellable.
2. Go for minimalist style – I did not consider my home particularly cluttered until our stager asked us to remove almost 80% of our furniture and possessions before the house was even acceptable for showing to prospective buyers. Large open spaces and minimal decoration are highly desirable if you want the future owners to be able to imagine themselves living within your home, instead of sneaking a peek into someone else's life.
3. Get rid of personal items – I absolutely loved my glass elephant collection in the dining room as well as the abundance of family portraits in the hallways and staircase. Our stager reminded me that this is not supposed to look like my home any more if we wanted to attract buyers, so everything had to be stripped from the walls except for just a few carefully placed mirrors.
4. Allow a longer period for fixing your home than originally planned – our initial plan was to move the house to the market within a few weeks. Those quickly turned into a couple of months, since a few of the filling, scraping, cleaning and painting tasks took way longer than expected. Once you begin moving furniture, those tiny holes and cracks that you haven't even suspected exist will start coming out. Moving furniture out also takes way longer than what it took to move it in, as mysterious as that might sound.

There's this thing they do on daring fireball called layer tennis in Photoshop. I'd like to suggest we do the same as authors on AJ. We call it Track tennis. An author puts up a track that they are stuck on that they like, but they are stumped on. It can be a competition. We call it track tennis. What we do is start a contest where folks start a track and other AJ authors try to step in and add a track and build a song. The song gets killer based on votes and it grows from there. The AJ admins can judge the track and how it grows based on votes until it grows to be a song. Sounds like fun?? What do you guys and gals think? It needs more input to grow into a real contest but I thought it might be fun because I'm itching to collaborate with others here and it would be a good fun way to compete/collaborate and maybe some cool prizes can come of the tracks added together?
sounds like an idea! i spent a lot of time viewing AJ authors' profile page and found out that some authors have a very distinctive style of making tracks. it would turn out to be a superb cross-style music track.
if this was started, I would definitely count myself in. what do others think?
Good Idea robGD.
This could also end up in different versions of a track. This might be interesting too.
yea… I agree, the music on AJ is so much different that something outstanding would come out of this competition… the idea is very original
but how about the integration to AJ? I'm a long time here, I had another account.. and how I remember the tracks that were in the previous competitions were used for Envato's Asset Library or for selling here at AudioJungle….... but when we start something like a collaboration nobody can be the owner of these tracks, you know what I try to say?
the idea is good, but I guess we need a pracitcal use for it
It's just like creating collections contest. As far as I'm concerned, the track doesn't need to be sold. It's more of a contribute to the community project anyway. AJ author showcase track. It then would have links to the folks who contributed and which instrument they added. The contest gets blogged about and talked about and it creates buzz for the site. If I get to contribute a layer to the track I hereby release my rights to any proceeds.
I think this sounds like an awesome idea, robGD! You should totally roll with this idea in the AudioJungle forums as a bit of fun to begin with rather than a formal competition. Perhaps you guys could establish a brief set of rules first and then take things from there? I'd be interested to see what you guys come up with, sounds like a lot of fun!
Pretty much the same comp was done on minimumnoise, except there were prizes. It's a good idea, but it requires a decent web interface to let people see all the tracks on one page and vote. if the aj blog took it up, this could work well – a centralised announcement system and they've done polls in the past. could be a bit patchy on forums though. just to clarify, when you say "add a track" you mean add an instrument to the original song to go ontop, or add something to go afterwards?
Interested parties (authors) download the base track and adds something. This obviously would require knowing the key of the track and the genre. From there the submissions get widdled down by reviewers and presented to the Jungle for a vote. Then the track is presented again and everyone gives it another go. Might be too complicated depending on the number of submissions. How many authors are there on the Jungle at the moment? If there are hundreds and everyone jumps in it might not be something that can be done.
That sounds like an awesome idea! Would love to listen to the result of this!
Hi guys, been a long time since I've been online as I'm still travelling around the world. Thought I'd just chime in here really quickly – its a great idea in theory, and can definitively work. Only issue is that you have to think – are you going to be using the source file or the mp3/wav file – if its the source file, not everyone will have the same DAW /version etc. and if its the mp3/wav file, then it will be difficult with timing, editing etc.
Of course this can be overcome, but thought I'd just say it to you guys so you know that you may come up against these issues
