flexible connection?...
I have two pvc pipes and they are both about 2.5in diameter...they are rather parrallel to each other right now...by "rather" i mean that they are off parrallel by about 15 or 20 degrees...so I imagine that I will need a flexible piece of tubbing (between the two T's)...Im just unfamiliar with whats available and what I might see at the hardware store (or if such a product exists)...I am familiar with the thick black rubber joint (about 3 in long) with hose clamps on both ends...Im thinking though that since the pipes will meet on an angle that is a fair amount more (or less) than 180 degrees, I would need to use somthing else...the pressure in the pipes shouldnt be real high (its not under city water pressure-just drainage)...
Can you take a picture of what you're trying to do.
On the subject of clamps. The clamps with just two bands are typically only for underground use. Even in areas where they are approved for use above ground they should be avoided. You want the clamps with a solid metal band all the way around. You can still cheat a little in those clamps.
Do not go buy that flexible drain pipe from Home Depot. You will just end up with a big mess.

The one pic (ending in 45)shows the two pipes I want to connect...
The other (ending in 46) shows the connector with the hose clamps that Im familliar with...
Cast out thoughts of hose connections and get down to local hardware or big box, and get an piece of proper size pipe and a few 22.5, 45, and 90 degree fittings. This will allow you to make "swing joints" offsetting the pipes until they line up. dry fit all the connections, then put alignment marks on the mating pieces, so that you can glue as much together as possible and install as a unit.
If you have no wiggle room to make the last connection, it can be done with a band clamp, the kind with full metal band, not a couple of hose clamps.

GENERIC NAME: FLUTICASONE - ORAL AEROSOL INHALER (flew-TICK-uh-sown)
BRAND NAME(S): Flovent
Medication Uses | How To Use | Side Effects | Precautions | Drug Interactions | Overdose | Notes | Missed Dose | Storage | Medical Alert
USES: Fluticasone is a corticosteroid that works directly in the lungs to make breathing easier by reducing the swelling and inflammation of the airways. This medication must be used regularly to prevent the wheezing and shortness of breath caused by asthma, bronchitis, or some types of emphysema. This medication does not work immediately. Therefore, it is not used to relieve an acute asthma attack. If an asthma attack occurs, use your quick-relief inhaler (e.g., albuterol, salbutamol) as prescribed.
HOW TO USE: Read the Patient Information Leaflet which contains instructions for proper use of this medication. Consult your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions. Shake the canister well before using. Follow the instructions for test sprays in the air if you are using a canister for the first time or if you have not used it for a week or more. Avoid spraying the medication in your eyes. A fine mist is a sign that the inhaler is properly working. Inhale this medication by mouth usually twice a day or as directed by your doctor. Dosage is based on your medical condition and response to therapy. It is recommended that you use a spacer device with this medication. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information. Follow the detailed instructions for proper use of the inhaler and cleaning of the mouthpiece. If two inhalations/puffs are prescribed, wait at least one minute between them. If you are using other inhalers at the same time, wait several minutes between the use of each medication, and use this drug (the corticosteroid) last. To prevent dry mouth, hoarseness and oral yeast infections from developing, gargle and rinse your mouth after each use. Do not swallow the rinse solution. Use this medication regularly in order to get the most benefit from it. This medication works best if used consistently at even intervals. Remember to use it at the same times each day. Do not increase your dose, use this more frequently or stop using this medication without first consulting your doctor. Keep track of the number of inhalations used from each canister. Discard the canister after you have used the number of inhalations specified on the manufacturer's package. It may take up to 2 weeks or longer before the full benefit of this drug takes effect. Inform your doctor if your condition persists or worsens.

laminate flooring ...
My landlord said when they installed the real wood flooring over concrete foundation in the living room, they had to level the floor first by putting something down like concrete ... I am about to pull up the carpet in the master and study and lay laminate flooring ... do I need to worry about leveling the floor? Do I need to put down a moisture barrier? The laminate already has padding ... do I need to add an underlayment?
The floor needs to be flat, not level, to put laminate on it. You do need a moisture barrier. You do not need an underlayment.

Serger/Overlocking Machine Information Please?
View Single Post
please wake up
Join Date: Jan 2009
Posts: 45
The Brother 1034D was my first serger, and for anyone who's never tried it before, it's a good machine to learn on. Mine lasted a good four years before I had to replace it, and that was only because the timing was thrown off so badly that the lower looper wouldn't clear the upper looper anymore. I wound up investing in a more durable serger (an Elna, though I forget the specific model), but for the price, the Brother machine should serve well anyone just starting out.
Serging is a handy, handy thing, too. For finishing seams or even complicated things like stretchy finished edges or use with ruffles. If you plan on getting serious with cosplay and sewing in general, it's a great investment -- the initial frustration in learning to thread the damn thing is worth it, I swear.
(Protip: If you're changing thread color on a serger, don't take the old thread out and rethread it, just tie the end of the old thread to the new one and let the machine run until all threads have come through. If you do it right, it makes life a lot easier.)

[THE AMERICAN: Men] No. 6 Connecticut ran its unbeaten streak to 12 games with a 5-0 win over SMU to advance to the semifinals of the American Athletic Conference Championship at Toyota Stadium, home of MLS's FC Dallas. The Huskies will face UCF in the nightcap of the semifinals that begin Friday when Rutgers, which upset No. 1 seed Louisville, faces USF.
Huskies got two goals from freshman Cyle Larin, the first multi-goal game of his career. Nicholas Zuniga, George Fochive and Allando Matheson also scored for UConn, whose five goals were a season high.
On consecutive
days, Rutgers beat Cincinnati and Louisville to advance to the final four. The Scarlet Knights trailed Cincinnati, 1-0, before they scored five unanswered -- four scored by Kene Eze -- to win, 5-1, on Friday. The next day, sophomore midfielder Mael Corboz's goal with just under five minutes remaining lifted
Rutgers to a 1-0 win over No. 8 Louisville at Cardinal Park.
UCF extended its unbeaten streak to nine games when it beat Memphis, 2-1, on Abdi
Yasuf's goal Saturday. Stiven Salinas scored his third goal in four games just before halftime to lead USF to a 1-0 win at Temple.

Our Current Projects
China Dream
Reimagining Prosperity
JUCCCE creates a livable China. China's growing population needs new ways to move from survivability to livability to thrivability within the limits of planetary health. JUCCCE helps pursue this China Dream by reimagining prosperity to humanize sustainability and transform desire.
Ecolivable Cities
New Urbanisation
China is undergoing an unprecedented rate of city construction and urban migration. To attract the best talents, our cities must be human-centered, built on eco-livability principles. JUCCCE inspires a movement with government leadership training, policy recommendations and documentaries.
A New Way to Eat Sustainable Diets
China's changing diet is creating an alarming rise in obesity, diabetes and damaging our environment. Its economy is threatened with declining health in workers and inability to equitably feed its citizens. Chinese kids can be food heroes by eating in a way that is good for them and good for the planet.
A View into China
Promoting Collaboration
Turning "Made In China" to "Made With China" requires greater understanding of how to work with Chinese. Trust is the basis of cultural diplomacy; on top of which foreign diplomacy and responsible trade can be built. JUCCCE acts as a gateway to mutual understanding.

The Myth of the West: Part 3 – QiangdaQuestioning the idea of "powerful."
An ancient civilization, rich in culture and steeped in corruption. Elaborate etiquette surrounds the gold panoply of cruel rulers hidden safely behind rings of high walls, while gangs of laborers work outside under the blazing hot sun. Perfumed maidens with elaborate coiffures secured with jade sway gently as they dance to the tune of plucked instruments. Spry old men perform fabulous feats of strength and defeat enemies with lightning speed. If you look at the way popular culture views ancient China (and to a certain extent, modern China), you'll see these images alive and well. They are part of the myth of Orientalism. But the West is not the only group with preconceptions that may be far from reality. In China, there exists a corresponding myth of the West—the idea of xifang.
The United States has widely been acknowledged as the sole superpower remaining in the world after the collapse of the Soviet Union. The dominance of the United States is not simply in terms of military might, however—it extends both economically and culturally. The ubiquity of McDonald's, the Friends, and iPods internationally are a testament to American cultural hegemony. American universities are ranked as the top in the world, and no country comes close to rivaling the U.S. in terms of research and technology. All these factors together spiral into what the Chinese call qiangda, or powerful.
These factors (minus military might) are what is classified as "soft power." While U.S. soft power has been declining under the Bush administration (for a comparison of U.S. and Chinese soft power, see Joshua Kurlantzick's book Charm Offensive) it still retains a considerable amount of influence. There is the widespread perception in China that the United States can do whatever it wants (such as invade other countries) because it is a qiangda nation. While many Chinese may not approve, they do not deny that the U.S. has the right to do as it pleases. This, perhaps, is grounded in the Chinese idea of the Mandate of Heaven—an idea similar to Calvinist thought of the 17th and 18th centuries: wealth and power accrue to the one favored by Heaven, with the corollary that one favored by Heaven should be accorded extra respect.
Qiangda is often spoken of in wistful terms—or starkly nationalistic terms. "China must become a qiangda nation." Wistful by those who are eager to see China's peaceful rise, who see it in economic and cultural terms. They see the increasing amounts of respect that China garners in the international community and view it as a slow inevitability—the wistfulness comes from the desire to see it achieved in their lifetime. Those who speak of it in starkly nationalistic terms are those for whom the Century of Humiliation is alive and recent. Those who most desire China to become qiangda immediately are easily offended by perceived slights to China.
Another aspect of qiangda is cultural domination. China's reckless attempts to reform its culture and economy—through the Great Leap Forward and Cultural Revolution up to modern economic liberalization—has thrown its culture into turmoil. It seeks to become more powerful by emulating the way the West does things, from privatization of enterprises to stopping people from spitting in the street. And, much like Japan during the Meiji Restoration, the culture is divided between those who wish to keep traditional Chinese values (China has 5000 years of culture, after all) and those who wish to become completely Westernized.
The Chinese view of the West therefore resembles the attitude toward a high school quarterback—oscillating between respectful admiration and envious resentment, and sometimes both at the same time. Moves taken against China or affecting China are perceived through that filter, so sometimes innocuous actions that the West takes which affect China are seen as purposeful bullying. To Chinese, qiangda is their hope of the future, one with China as an economic, military, and cultural superpower.
The Myth of the West is a four-part series by Yulin Zhuang.

Paper: Workers at Olkiluoto forced to pay protection money to mafia
According to the journal of the Finnish Centre for Pensions, workers coerced to work for a Bulgarian firm owned by the mafia have had to pay protection money. Bulgarian painters employed by the firm at the Olkiluoto 3 construction site have been forced to pay 50 euros weekly to the crime syndicate. Minister of Labour Lauri Ihalainen described the news as unbelievable.
The employees involved are reluctant to pursue the issue owing to threats made against their families back home.
The journal reports overtime payments and other benefits are frequently ignored on the construction site of the Olkiluoto 3 nuclear reactor in Eurajoki on Finland's west coast.
According to a representative of the Finnish Metalworkers' Union, Janne Vainio, wages have been unpaid and employees have been told not to join a union. Employers also reneged on social security payments, Vainio told the publication.
Vainio went on to tell the journal that many foreign employees accept poorer conditions in the absence of work at home. Often the pay they receive at Olkiluoto is higher than that in their home country. For example, a construction worker from Moldova earns on average 200 euros a month.
The power utility Teollisuuden Voima (TVO) said Friday news of possible mafia connections to some employees at Olkiluoto had come as a complete surprise.
Minister of Labour: situation unbelievable
In further reaction, Minister of Labour Lauri Ihalainen says the news of possible mafia connections sounds unbelievable.
"These problems have continued for many years. Promises to improve conditions have come and gone. There is something very wrong here," the Minister commented on the situation.
He reminded that Finnish working conditions and rules of play apply across the country also at the Olkiluoto site. In his view, the contracting utility also had to bear its own responsibility.
Ihalainen admitted the resources and powers given to officials were inadequate in some cases.
"The name of the game should be that officials did not have to intervene because all sides were playing by the rules. Working agreements and legislation provided a good framework for this," Ihalainen added in an interview given to Yle.

NAIROBI, (Xinhua): At least eight people were killed and several others were injured on Wednesday morning when a commuter train and a minibus collided in Kenya's capital, Nairobi, the Kenya Red Cross Society (KRCS) said.
KRCS spokesman Peter Outa said rescue operations are underway to retrieve several bodies trapped in the wreckage of the 33- seater minibus, which was heading to the city center when the accident occurred.
"We can confirm eight deaths and several injuries. The injured have been rushed to Mama Lucy and Kenyatta National Hospitals. Six died on the spot and two others succumbed to injuries at the hospital," Outa told Xinhua.
Eyewitnesses said the early accident happened when the passenger train collided with the minibus at Nairobi's Mutindwa market in Umoja residential estate.

An architect I am not but I can see DrawPlan for Windows Phone being a handy app if you need to draw out a rough draft on your Windows Phone. DrawPlan allows you to draw out plans with polygonal shapes by adding or removing line segments.
The interface is simple, DrawPlan has a healthy selection of tools to determine surface measurements, angles, triangulation and you can export it all to DXF format. DrawPlan may not appeal to everyone but in just tinkering with it for a short while it appears to be a very nice productivity app for your Windows Phone.

The problem with local was two fold. A) Euro Delivery knowledge B) E92 M3 dealer allocations.
A) Originally I had planned to do a Euro Delivery with PCD and wanted it to go very smoothly. After doing some research a short list popped up regarding ED + PCD knowledge and Adrian's name was on it. The PCD portion fell through (due to scheduling on my end) but Adrian's vast knowledge with ED and customer care kept me with him.
In addition (B) e92 M3 allocations are very difficult to come by. Adrian was able to get one for me while Autohaus was 'working' on it.
Thanks so much for the response. I understand your rationale. This will be my second ED with Autohaus and luckily they do have a very knowledgeble CA who is German and really understands ED. Thanks again.

Annual Festival
Mountain Fever Records Releases Brand New Music from Nothin' Fancy
"Where I Came From" is Available To Radio Today!
New Album - Where I Came From Releases October 7th
WILLIS, Va. (September 23, 2016) – Mountain Fever Records is proud to announce the release of brand new music from Nothin' Fancy. "Where I Came From" is available to radio today and is the title track of a new album due for release October 7th.
Where I Came From is Nothin' Fancy's sophomore album for Mountain Fever Records since signing with the Virginia-based label in 2015. Nothin' Fancy, also based in Virginia, is comprised of Mike Andes on mandolin, Mitchell Davis on banjo, Chris Sexton on fiddle, Tony Shorter on bass and Caleb Cox on guitar. Together, the band hosts one of the most successful fall bluegrass festivals in the country annually, drawing thousands to Buena Vista located in the Shenandoah Valley region of the state. With this year's festival happening September 22nd through 25th, it only made sense for the band to introduce an audience of their most loyal fans to their new single, touting their love for their home-state.
"Mike Andes writes much of the material for Nothin' Fancy including 'Where I Came From,'" stated Mark Hodges of Mountain Fever Records. "In the song, the singer laments of missing his home in Virginia and longing to return. When it became clear that would be the title of the album, it made sense to launch the title track as the first single and release it to radio the same week as the Nothin' Fancy Bluegrass Festival. Some of the band's most loyal fans travel from all over the country to join the band for this event each year so it was just a natural fit."
"Where I Came From" is the first single from the band's second album for Mountain Fever Records and radio programmers may download the single via AirPlayDirect at http://www.airplaydirect.com/music/NFCameFrom/. Consumers may download the first single and preorder the album here - https://sc.lnk.to/g1ZGh. Where I Came From will be released everywhere great music is sold on October 7th.

Question for CNN: Is Minnesota really a toss-up state?
CNN's John King, working his interactive map on Sunday, claimed if the election were held today Obama would win 221 electoral votes and McCain 189. King stressed that so many key states remain toss-ups. (That's good a narrative for the media.)
King claimed one key toss-up state is Minnesota. Really? According to Pollster [1]'s trend estimates, Obama is up by seven points in Minnesota, and there's only one poll listed at Pollser that shows McCain ahead in the land of lakes. And that was from January. We get the feeling CNN is trying a bit too hard to push the, It's-a-tie! storyline.
P.S. Pollster puts the current (albeit, hypothetical) electoral count at Obama 260, McCain 176. (That's a bad narrative for the media.)

Makes about 2-1/2 cups
There's a big shaker of Magic Dust next to the salt and pepper in my own kitchen and at all my restaurants. I wish I could figure out a way to attach the bottle to the restaurant tables because, at my restaurants, it's the most frequently stolen item!
To make it a little more hot and spicy, increase the mustard powder and black pepper to 1/4 cup each.
1/2 cup paprika
1/4 cup kosher salt, finely ground
1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons mustard powder
1/4 cup chili powder
1/4 cup ground cumin
2 tablespoons ground black pepper
1/4 cup granulated garlic
2 tablespoons cayenne
Mix all ingredients and store in a tightly covered container. You'll want to keep some in a shaker next to the grill or stove. Keeps indefinitely but won't last long.

I'm in Green Bay, Wis., this week filming a TV show with Mark Zona for his Zona's Awesome Fishing Show. We'll be targeting smallmouth bass in Lake Michigan near Washington Island. This area is hot right now. In fact, it's probably one of the best — if not the best — places in our country to catch them.
The area also gives you a sense of history. Washington Island is part of a dangerous strait between Green Bay and the main body of Lake Michigan. There's a bunch of old shipwrecks down under the water. It all gives you a perspective on life on the Great Lakes and a realization of how important (not) we humans are in the grand scheme of things.
Despite all of our technological advances, we're still at the mercy of Mother Nature. That's the long and the short of it. It's intimidating when you stop to think about it.
The wind is a little nasty so I'm thinking we'll have a rough ride for a couple of days but we're not likely to end up being one of the shipwrecks. We'll just roll around and have a good time. It's a lot of fun to work with Mark. I really enjoy it. He's one of those guys you can get along with, laugh, tease and joke but at the same time still get a lot of work done.
His show is real, too. It's not one of those ones where the editors put film clips together to show nonstop action and then expect you to believe that's the way it really was. When you watch his show, you learn something and come away with a real understanding of what was going on at whatever location was being filmed.
Anyway, you can watch the show sometime in January. I don't know the exact date yet but I'll let you know in plenty of time to watch or record it. I'm guessing it'll be worth your time.
On another subject: Did you see what Paul Elias did with his Alabama rig on Lake Guntersville last week? It was almost unbelievable. He won a major professional tournament by over 17 pounds using an Alabama rig.
It's designed much like a striper umbrella rig. It allows you to wind several baits through the water at the same time. I think it's supposed to mimic a school of baitfish and make suspended bass bite.
Elias used swimbaits but I'm thinking a lot of other stuff will work, too. I'm sure we'll know come next year when we see it used in some of the tournaments. Elite Series anglers will use anything that catches more bass and the Alabama rig seems to do that.
I think you can buy them but they wouldn't be all that hard to make, either. If you want all the details check out, Alabama Rig: Hottest technique in years! (Make sure they're legal where you're fishing.)


text: I have a quick question. I heard that you can become bigger and nastier the more you attend RvR and fight. And I also heard that this system won't b in game at first. Is this true? And if anyone happen to know, you do also become stronger when you change appearance or is it just higher grade armors and weaps that you are able to wear?

Interior Home Design: Oriental Concept
Getting ill is never extremely a lot enjoyable, but sadly it is something that even happens to the most healthy of people. Of course kids like to be ill simply because they get to remain house from school, but when it comes down to it, being below the climate is merely not extremely fun. There are some methods to make the encounter a small more fulfilling. A nice cup of tomato soup and a grilled cheese sandwich might assist enhance your mood. And because you are laying around all working day, a subscription to satellite Tv is the ideal companion to your bedridden state.
Reduce your usage of red meat and prepare food with much more fish, chicken and turkey and complement more with veggies. - That will also be more healthy.
Plan Your House Orientation and Format - when making a custom log home style, pay attention to your website and how the orientation of person rooms will be done. Locate the bedrooms towards the cooler, nighttime north. Location your kitchen dealing with the east to capture the early morning sun. The living room and recreational space can have a kind of transitional orientation, facing the warm midday south sunlight. And the eating area can be oriented in the direction of the late afternoon western sunlight. All-natural mild, window placement, orientation and views are powerful good elements in human well being and the comfort of your new home.
One of the elements that we have to consider (and mainly neglect about) is space humidity. If the floor appears to be a little bit as well moist it might be a big issue trigger the carpet gained't stick to the floor. Subsequent component might be the temperature that is in the space when we set up the carpet.
Wonderful design projects can outcome from portray, restaining or reupholstering that piece that is dated or worn. The most thrilling aspect of recycling furniture is the cash saved.
interior design can help strategy for the most essential room in the house, the kitchen. The size and shape of the kitchen area need to be given adequate believed. The counter-leading, the pantry, the kinds of electrical appliances that would be used all require to be accommodated and prepared for. Also the kind of kitchen area sinks that have to be fitted.
Michael Stockton employed Alan for his luxurious home requirements. It was his initial time operating with a custom home designer, so he was unsure what to expect. Nevertheless, he was thrilled with the last product and the constant conversation he received working with Customized Luxury Homes of Maryland.
Painting is an excellent way to rearrange or renovate your house, and in essence your life. It also paves the way for distinctive house style ideas. Most people actually call experts to do the occupation, instead than do it on their own. But it is a fun activity that is really worth your time and certainly something you can do by your self. So whether or not it is house painting or wall painting, begin painting absent and have enjoyable!

Hampden-Sydney College's Pre-Medicine students have a unique opportunity to apply to three non-binding early-acceptance medical programs: at Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine (formerly known as "MCV," the Medical College of Virginia), at The George Washington School of Medicine, and at Eastern Virginia Medical School.
After graduating from Hampden-Sydney students, attend a four-year medical school program. Medical students spend their first two years of medical school in basic sciences and the final two years in clinical rotations. By the end of their third year, medical students select a specialty and apply to residency programs. Typical residency programs and their duration include Internal Medicine (three years), Family Medicine (three years), Pediatrics (three years), Emergency Medicine (three years), Anæsthesiology (four years), Obstetrics and Gynecology (four years), Diagnostic Radiology (five years), and General Surgery (five years).
Students who are interested in Physical Therapy are eligible for two guaranteed positions into Lynchburg College's Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) program. They must meet certain GPA and curricular requirements and work with the College's Health Sciences Committee just as if they were applying to med school.


text: Indeed. As time goes on, the ability to recognize and develop Euro talent, as well as the credibility of treating Euro players well will be a pre-requisite for every franchise. Me too. I don't think I can handle having high expectations deflated for the 3rd straight year. Losing 4 games in a series is like a slow death. Besides, the "give the young guys a chance" folks should be able to appreciate the next year or two unless Joe does make some drastic changes to compete this season. We have fresh new faces coming next year, and let's face it, Acker, Blalock, Maxiell and Johnson were all minor steals given their relative position in the draft. It's hard to find value outside of the top 15, and the Pistons may have done it with their last 4 consecutive picks. So yeah, I feel what Griff is feeling, and at the same time, I'm not going to spend the whole year disappointed. There is a lot of ball to look forward to as Joe evaluates who out of this group is worth keeping long term.

|You are invited to a Derby get-together at JavaOne
|Mon, 15 May 2006 17:15:30 GMT
To any and all of you who are in or around the Bay Area this week. JavaOne is happening and there are two things around Derby that I wanted to invite you to attend. The first is the Introduction to Apache Derby session that Dan and I are giving Tuesday at 5:45. Of course, most of you already know Derby, but it might be fun to lob nasty questions at Dan and I. Of course any you throw my way I'll just toss over to Dan :) Then at 7:30 at Jillian's in the Sony Metreon, just across from Moscone, there will be a big Derby get-together. There will be beer, wine, delicious snacks, and lots of great company. Many of the developers for Derby will be there, including a bunch of folks who have come over all the way from Norway. So, we'd love to see you there, it should be a good time. All the best, and happy Derbying! David

Policy express: the essential issues
Page Tools
Illustration: Getty Images
Haven't been paying attention? Josh Gordon gets to the heart of the parties' major policies.
Perhaps more than any other issue, health has dominated the election campaign.
Policy announcements have been laid on so thick that even the most diligent pundits could be forgiven for being confused. Labor's Medicare Gold plan, offering free treatment in a public or private hospital for people aged 75 and over, is the most radical announcement of the campaign.
Labor is promising that the bold - and potentially costly - initiative will abolish waiting lists for elderly patients while cutting health insurance premiums for everyone else.
However, it is now grappling with a number of tough questions. Will it be financially sustainable into the future, particularly with the number of people aged over 75 set to increase dramatically? Will shorter hospital waiting lists for the aged increase waiting lists for everyone else? Will private health insurance premiums really fall by 12 per cent as Labor claims?
Labor is also promising to spend $800million on a plan to lower prescription drug prices, $1.3 billion on incentives to encourage bulk-billing, $350 million to upgrade hospital emergency departments and $300million to provide free dental care for concession card holders.
The Coalition, battling accusations that it has a hidden agenda to destroy Medicare, is offering a bucket of money to lift Medicare rebates by $4.50 for standard GP visits, whether they bulk-bill or not. Critics claim the proposal would simply line doctors' pockets, with small or nonexistent benefits passed on to patients.
The Coalition is also promising to increase its controversial 30 per cent private health insurance rebate to 35 per cent for people aged over 65 and 40 per cent for people aged over 70.
Labor, on the other hand, has vowed to scrap the Coalition's safety net - set up to protect families against annual blowouts in out-of-hospital medical expenses - claiming it disproportionately benefits wealthier patients, while pushing up prices for others. The policy would be replaced with free specialist services at hospitals, but only for the neediest patients.
Prime-time TV viewers have been blitzed by Coalition ads warning that interest rates will inevitably be higher if Mark Latham is elected. The campaign is potent - never before have home buyers been so debt-burdened, with some already stretched to the limits of their capacity to repay loans.
The claim has been dismissed by Australia's entire cohort of private sector economists. They say interest rates - set by the independent Reserve Bank - would be the same whichever side is elected. Some experts, including former Reserve governor Bernie Fraser, have even gone so far as to argue that the Coalition's spending splurge could actually increase pressure on the Reserve to lift future borrowing costs by fuelling inflation.
Labor, too, is spending up big, although it has been making some tough decisions to partially offset the cost of its policies with savings measures, including cuts to the federal bureaucracy.
The Coalition's economic track record, on paper at least, has been impressive. Australia is in its 14th year of economic expansion, more than eight years of it under Howard and Costello's stewardship.
However, with exports still weak despite improving world growth, it remains to be seen whether Australia's borrow-andspend economy can maintain its momentum.
Most voters want more spending on health and education. At the same time, a high proportion believe they pay too much tax and should be offered relief.
Thanks to a huge income and company tax windfall, this time the Coalition and Labor have been able to promise both. After being dogged by claims that it was the highest taxing government in history, the Coalition announced income tax cuts worth a total of $14.7 billion over four years in this year's budget, to be delivered in two stages.
While people earning more than $70,000 a year will get an extra $2790 annually as a result of the cuts, workers earning less than $52,000 will get nothing.
The idea was that people on lower incomes would be appeased with an extra $600 per child cash bonus, delivered through the family tax benefits A and B.
Still, about 3 million singles and couples with no kids earning less than $52,000 a year were overlooked.
Mark Latham immediately promised to provide "broader and fairer" tax relief. Early in the campaign he announced tax cuts of up to $8 a week for people earning less than $52,000 a year, and income splitting for couples (effectively allowing a tax-free threshold of up to $12,000).
Eager to outbid the Coalition, Labor also promised to increase the top 47 per cent tax threshold from $80,000 a year to $85,000, effective from 2006-07, arguing it would stop bracket creep and improve Australia's international competitiveness.
The Coalition countered by announcing a 25 per cent tax discount for small businesses, costing $920 million over four years.
Families with kids will probably benefit financially from this election more than any other group. In addition to the huge handouts announced in the May budget, massive bags of goodies are being offered by both sides in a race to woo "middle Australia".
Labor is offering one free day of child care every week for 240,000 three and four-year-olds, 6500 new long-day child-care places, 8000 extra before and after-school child-care places and a $3000 payment for the birth of a child, rising to $5380 in 2009.
All newborn children would also be immunised against pneumococcal disease and chicken pox and offered the new polio vaccine, and would be eligible for up to three story books.
Labor is also planning a radical overhaul of the family tax benefits system, with benefits A and B abolished and the $600 per child annual payment scrapped to create a single fortnightly payment, with a more generous means test.
The Coalition, on the other hand, is offering a 30 per cent child-care rebate, pneumococcal disease immunisations and $300 cash payments for all stay-athome mothers. It has also pledged extra funds to protect children from internet porn and sex offenders.
The so-called grey vote played a decisive role during the 1998 and 2001 elections. So much so that Howard probably suspected he was guaranteed their rusted-on support this time. As a result, for most of the campaign, seniors looked unlikely to get much at all.
That is until Labor announced its surprise Medicare Gold plan last week.
Realising he could have a problem on his hands, Howard immediately countered by announcing cash payments of $100 a year for age pensioners and $200 a year for self-funded retirees.
The Coalition is also promising $200 million to tackle dementia and $148 million to assist carers, while Labor is offering to index pensions quarterly instead of every six months, $300 million in interest-free loans for 3000 extra aged-care beds and $168million to assist carers.
Education has probably been the most divisive issue of the campaign. Labor released its long-awaited schools package in the third week. Under the plan, $520 million would be redirected from 67 of the nation's elite independent schools to poorer nongovernment schools, many of them Catholic.
Although the plan angered some prominent church leaders and wealthy private schools, it appears to have won the support of the broader public for introducing a needs-based funding system. Labor has also pledged a $1.9 billion boost for public schools.
The Coalition quickly countered with a plan to spend $1 billion improving schools facilities and infrastructure, with $700 million for public schools and $300 million for Catholic and poorer non-government schools. With the recent appearance of $100,000 degrees, students and their families are becoming increasingly worried about entering working life with huge HECS debts.
One of Labor's first acts, if elected, would be to return Parliament before Christmas to reverse the Coalition's 25 per cent HECS increase due to come into effect in many universities next year. It would also abolish full-fee places for local undergraduate students, offering universities an extra $1.6 billion over four years to help compensate for the loss of revenue. It has also pledged to provide 21,663 extra university places each year by 2008 and 20,000 extra TAFE places each year.
The Coalition has opted to focus on traditional apprenticeships rather than universities, promising to set up 24 federally run technical colleges and provide 34,000 apprentices with $800 tool kits.
Both sides spent most of the campaign in a stand-off over the delicate problem of how to save the iconic Tasmanian forests without threatening forest workers' jobs.
Latham was the first to flinch. This week he announced a scientific inquiry into whether 240,000 hectares of forest should be protected, with a massive $800 million adjustment plan for timber workers. Despite the enormous outlay, the forestry union and the Tasmanian Government responded with cold fury.
Howard, having seen Labor's hand, responded with a more modest plan to save 170,000 hectares of old-growth forests, in addition to other measures to protect Tasmania's environment and hopefully capture the marginal Labor electorate of Bass.
Labor is also promising to ratify the Kyoto Protocol to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, in contrast with the Coalition, which argues it will cost Australia jobs and hurt the economy.
However, the Coalition came under extra pressure this week after Russia announced that it would sign on, almost certainly bringing the protocol into legal effect. Australia and United States are now the only major Western countries still refusing to ratify.
The Coalition and Labor share much common ground when it comes to national security. Both, for example, strongly support the US alliance and both see a need to build relationships with Asian allies to combat the threat of terrorism.
There are three key differences. First, Labor believes Australia should pursue foreign policy objectives through multilateral forums such as the United Nations, without being dominated by adherence to the US. The Coalition maintains that it can do both, but tends to place greater emphasis on relationships with powerful friends.
Second, Latham has made a much-debated commitment to withdraw Australian troops from Iraq by Christmas. The Coalition says this would undermine the US alliance and the war on terrorism. Labor counters that the war has increased the terrorist menace and resources must be directed towards tackling terrorism in our own backyard.
Third, Labor is also opposed to US plans for a missile defence shield, claiming it would provoke a new arms race. The Coalition maintains joining the programs would assist global stability.
In addition to the broader differences, the Coalition is promising $99 million over five years for regional counter-terrorism teams and better regional intelligence, $85 million to protect North-West Shelf gas projects from terrorists and $39 million for border protection.
Labor is promising to boost the army by setting up a new infantry battalion in Townsville, set up a coastguard at a cost of $304 million, negotiate a regional counter-terrorism strategy with South-East Asian countries and create a new department of homeland security.

Carbonate Reservoirs of the Middle East and Their Future Challenges Call for Posters
Expires in 155 days
The AAPG Foundation is committed to the next generation of geoscientists, from introduction of geology through hands-on programs to grants and scholarships that aid students with their studies.
"Big Data and Deep Learning in the Oil Industry: Basics and Applications," a Geosciences Technology Workshop to be held in Houston on May 22 at the CityCentre Norris Conference Center will focus on new analytics involving Big Data, deep learning and machine learning, and how they are transforming all aspects of the oil and gas industry.
Offshore opportunities from Aruba to the Falkand Islands have national and independent companies keeping their eye on Latin America.
The Next 100 Years: Data management is a crucial component of oil exploration. What does the century ahead look like for Big Data in the oil field?
Optimizing reservoirs and developing an ever-evolving intelligent model of a reservoir are key concerns for operators, particularly in challenging times. For that reason, they must have good production geologists on hand. A production geologist bridges a number of disciplines, most notably geology and engineering, but also geochemistry, geophysics, and numerical methods. Welcome to an interview with Terngu Utim who discusses production geology, its new potential and opportunities.
The AAPG European Regional Conference, "Hydrocarbons in the Mediterranean: revisiting mature plays and understanding new and emerging ideas," will be held Jan. 18-19 in Larnaca, Cyprus.
Microseismicity induced by hydraulic fracture stimulation of a horizontal well was mapped with a near-surface buried array. Distinct linear trends of events were not parallel to the direction of fast shear wave polarization measured in the reservoir with a crossed-dipole anisotropy tool. Analysis of core from a nearby well revealed numerous calcite-filled fractures that did not induce shear wave polarization, but did significantly impact the failure behavior of the reservoir rock during the stimulation treatment. Hydraulic fracture simulation with DFN modeling and source mechanism analysis supports the interpretation of reactivated existing fractures rather than the formation of hydraulically-induced tensile fractures.
To explore and develop unconventional petroleum resources, our focus should be on improving Knowledge, Technology, and a deeper comprehension of the natural processes controlling their existence.
The story of how the concept of plate tectonics was born, struggled, won its fight for existence and eventually arrived in the oil industry is multi-faceted, insightful and entertaining.
AAPG and SPE will be holding the inaugural Africa Energy and Technology Conference this December in Nairobi City.
In Conjunction with AAPG/SEG 2017 International Conference & Exhibition (ICE)
A two-day course designed to give participants the basic working tools to explore and develop hydrocarbons in salt basins.
This workshop provides the opportunity to learn and discuss the latest knowledge, techniques & technologies applied to petroleum reservoirs in the Paleozoic of North Africa which can be utilized to explore for and develop these reservoirs. The workshop will provide a set-up for networking, interacting & sharing expertise with fellow petroleum scientists interested in developing and producing hydrocarbon resources within the Paleozoic of North Africa.
This course emphasizes key changes in reservoir models that have a major impact in exploration and production of these reservoirs. The course will include lectures, exercises, and observations from cores, well logs and seismic profiles. Participants will learn how to interpret and map environments of deposition (EoD's) in deep water systems and understand how the different EoD's and sub-EoD's behave as reservoirs.
This three-day workshop builds on the success of the first AAPG Carbonate Reservoirs of the Middle East GTW, held in Abu Dhabi, UAE in 2015. It is dedicated to addressing the hydrocarbon bearing carbonate reservoirs of the Middle East, in the context of a changing oil market within a more challenging exploration and development environment. These challenges include the shift from traditional anticlinal traps to stratigraphic traps, and development strategies for dealing with maturing, long-producing, giant fields.
The modern carbonate-evaporite depositional environments along the Abu Dhabi shoreline and offshore Abu Dhabi belong to the few areas of the world where the geoscientist can observe the interplay between carbonate and evaporite sedimentation.
Supratidal (sabkha) to intertidal and shallow subtidal (microbial mat and peloid-skeletal tidal-flat)
environments will be studied in the vicinity of Al-Qanatir Island.
In the vicinity of the road to Al-Qanatir Island participants will be able to study a complete and
undisturbed lateral facies succession from the upper supratidal to the lower intertidal and shallow
Many of these depositional environments and facies successions correspond to those observed in cores from the subsurface of the Arabian Peninsula.
The main objective of this field trip is to offer participants the opportunity to study the structural style and fracturing of carbonate rocks analogous to reservoir units of the globally important UAE Oil Province. The clear exposure of these carbonate rocks in this tectonically complicated area provides a significant opportunity to study and explain the structural style and deformation history of the region. Although the carbonate rocks exposed in Jebal Hafit area are of Early Eocene–Miocene age (Rus, Dammam and Asmari Formations), the emphasis here is to study fractures pattern and fracturing mechanism with relation to the paleostress and the link to fractures conductivity.
The selected stops will demonstrate the stratigraphic relationship of the rock units and their fracture systems that have been developed during long geological deformation. There are significant similarities between these exposed rocks and those units seen in the Abu Dhabi Oil Fields by means of reservoir characteristics and fracture system and fracture related diagenesis (cementation/host rock alteration) with its impact on sealing potential.
Jebal Hafit, an elongated asymmetrical, double‐plunging, NNW‐SSW trending anticline with an elevation reaches up to ~ 1140 m high, is situated at the border between Oman and UAE. It extends ca 30 km in the direction NNW–SSE with average width of 4 to 5 km.
This workshop provides the opportunity to learn and discuss the latest knowledge, techniques & technologies applied to mature fields. The workshop will provide a set-up for networking, interacting & sharing expertise with fellow petroleum scientists interested in enhancing production from maturing fields in the Niger Delta and similar deltaic settings.
Cross disciplinary workflows play an important part of successful characterization of shale reservoirs. This course discusses how the artificial kerogen maturity of organic-rich Green River shale affects the petrophysical, micro-structural, geochemical and elastic properties.
This presentation will look at well placement vertically in the pay, well azimuth and well trajectory with explanations of how geology and post-depositional effects can make the difference between a successful well and a failure.
This e-symposium presents techniques for predicting pore pressure in seals by examining case studies from the Gulf of Mexico and incorporating the relationship between rocks, fluids, stress, and pressure.
This e-symposium focuses on methods for predicting connectivity within clastic fluvial systems.
The Eagle Ford Shale in South Texas is one of the more exciting shale plays in the United States at the current time.
Effective hydraulic fracture stimulation is critical for shale development, and microseismic is the only technology able to map the growth of these hydraulic fracture networks.
This study will focus in the combination of λρ – μρ inversion with clustering analysis techniques in order to discriminate brittle zones in the Barnett Shale.
Unger Field, discovered in1955, has produced 8.6 million barrels of oil from a thinly (several ft) bedded, locally cherty dolomite containing vuggy and intercrystalline porosity.
Projects in several shales will be discussed, including Marcellus, Eagle Ford, Haynesville, Fayetteville, Montney, and Barnett, as will several seismically-detectable drivers for success including lithofacies, stress, pre-existing fractures, and pore pressure.
There are more approximately 1,000 oil and gas fields in the world that have been classified as "giant," containing more than 500 million barrels of recoverable oil and /or 3 trillion cubic feet of gas.
Recognition and Correlation of the Eagle Ford, Austin Formations in South Texas can be enhanced with High Resolution Biostratigraphy, fossil abundance peaks and Maximum Flooding Surfaces correlated to Upper Cretaceous sequence stratigraphic cycle chart after Gradstein, 2010.
Explore three of the great wonders of the geological world. Take a guided tour of classic geological sites on the Colorado Plateau.
This presentation describes a proven workflow that uses a standard narrow azimuth 3D seismic, conventional logs, image logs and core data to build five key reservoir properties required for an optimal development of shale plays.
This e-symposium provides highlights of the hydraulic fracturing mechanics, analysis, and design, and is derived from a two and one-half (2-1/2) day course which is designed for drilling, completion, production engineers, engineering technicians, geologists, well-site and completion supervisors, and managers, who desire to possess a comprehensive and integral knowledge of Hydraulic Fracturing.
The Niobrara Petroleum System of the U.S. Rocky Mountain Region is a major tight petroleum resource play.
This e-symposium will provide information on which tools, processes, and procedures all geoscientists, engineers, and technical professionals working in shale plays need to understand and implement.
Recent interest in unconventional gas resources has attracted several oil and gas explorers to sedimentary basins in Southern Quebec.
The Mississippian-Devonian Bakken Petroleum System of the Williston Basin is characterized by low-porosity and permeability reservoirs, organic-rich source rocks, and regional hydrocarbon charge.
This e-symposium covers how to conduct an interdisciplinary evaluation of mature fields to determine the best approach to recover remaining reserves.
This presentation will show where there are cases of missing sections, but none of them can be attributed to normal faulting.
Upon successful completion of this course, you will be able to describe geomechanics in shale reservoirs and discuss differences between plays.
Upon successful completion of this course, you will be able to describe faults and fractures in carbonates, black shales, and coarser clastics as they occur in the northern Appalachian Basin.
The presentation describes a well established fracture modeling workflow that uses a standard 3D seismic, conventional logs, image logs and data from one core to build predictive 3D fracture models that are validated with blind wells.
This esymposium takes a close look at workflows associated with resource plays, and analyzes where integration must occur between disciplines, data, and workflows at all phases of the process.
This online course provides an overview of the petroleum industry from what is natural gas and crude oil to how to explore, drill, and produce oil and gas.
In his classic 1965 GSA Bulletin paper "Origin of 'Reverse Drag' on the Downthrown Side of Normal Faults" Hamblin presented a conceptual model linking the formation of reverse drag (the down-warping of hanging wall strata toward a normal fault) to slip on faults with listric (curved, concave up) cross-sectional profiles. Although this model has been widely accepted, some authors have noted that reverse drag may also form in response to slip on planar faults that terminate at depth. A universal explanation for the origin of reverse drag, a common element of extensional terranes, thus remains elusive almost 50 years after Hamblin's seminal paper on the subject.

The protein encoded by TMEM67 localizes to the primary cilium and to the plasma membrane. Additionally we are shipping and many more products for this protein.
Showing 10 out of 18 products:
Human Polyclonal TMEM67 Primary Antibody for ICC, IHC (fro) - ABIN446428
Tiwari, Hudson, Gattone, Miller, Chernoff, Belecky-Adams: Meckelin 3 is necessary for photoreceptor outer segment development in rat Meckel syndrome. in PLoS ONE 2013
The Meckel syndrome protein meckelin (TMEM67) is a key regulator of cilia function but is not required for tissue planar polarity.
mutation analysis of TMEM67 in Joubert syndrome and related disorders cases and Meckel syndrome fetuses; identification of 20 novel mutations; review of published mutations and discussion of genotype-phenotype correlates
Mutations in MKS3 are responsible for the majority of COACH syndrome, with minor contributions from CC2D2A (show CC2D2A Antibodies) and RPGRIP1L (show RPGRIP1L Antibodies).
Data show that knockdown of MKS3 inhibited degradation of mutant SP-C (show SFTPC Antibodies).
Positional cloning of the Wpk gene suggested a MKS3 candidate gene, TMEM67, for which we identified pathogenic mutations for five MKS3-linked consanguineous families.
identified MKS3 mutations in four patients with JS, thus defining MKS3 as the sixth JS locus (JBTS6)
The Meckel-Gruber Syndrome proteins MKS1 (show MKS1 Antibodies) and meckelin interact and are required for primary cilium formation.
Study concluded that MKS1 (show MKS1 Antibodies) and MKS3 account for the majority of Meckel-Gruber syndrome; polydactyly is usually found in MKS1 (show MKS1 Antibodies) but rare in MKS3; cases with no, or milder, CNS phenotypes were only found in MKS3.
genotyping of MKS1 (show MKS1 Antibodies) & MKS3 genes in a large, multiethnic cohort of 120 independent cases of Meckel syndrome; first results indicate that the MKS1 (show MKS1 Antibodies) & MKS3 genes are each responsible for about 7% of MKS (show MKS1 Antibodies) cases with various mutations in different populations
Mutations in MKS3 is associated with Bardet-Biedl syndrome
Multi-organ developmental abnormalities in the Tmem67(tm1Dgen/H1) knockout mouse that closely resemble those seen in Wnt5a (show WNT5A Antibodies) and Ror2 (show ROR2 Antibodies) knockout mice.
Meckelin is expressed in mESCs and localized at the primary cilium. Meckelin depletion impairs neural differentiation of mESCs.
TMEM67 mutations cause PKD (show PRKD1 Antibodies) through ERK (show EPHB2 Antibodies)- and JNK (show MAPK8 Antibodies)-dependent signalling pathways, which may provide novel insight into the therapy of polycystic kidney diseases.
The Tmem67 knockout mouse line is unique in modelling the variable expressivity of phenotypes in Meckel-Gruber syndrome and Joubert syndrome.
Meckelin is a component of ciliary and cell membranes and is encoded by Tmem67 (Mks3).
The protein encoded by this gene localizes to the primary cilium and to the plasma membrane. The gene functions in centriole migration to the apical membrane and formation of the primary cilium. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. Defects in this gene are a cause of Meckel syndrome type 3 (MKS3) and Joubert syndrome type 6 (JBTS6).

Best Of :: Shopping & Services
At first, Dewing's Fly & Gun Shop may look a bit out of place, sandwiched between a doggy bakery and an upscale seafood joint in downtown West Palm Beach. But a look at the 2,700 guns inside -- and their price tags -- reveals why Dewing's does so well. The guns, with inlays of ivory and gold and encrustments of rare jewels, can run as much as $1.5 million. That's a rare price; most cost several thousands of dollars for rifles that often took years to make. Dewing's is one of three gun shops in the country selling a large collection of high-end, handmade shotguns, owner Adam Trieschmann says. Palm Beachers looking to stock their hunting lodges out west or gazillionaires flying in on private jets to pick up rifles is common. "I can never have enough unique pieces," Trieschmann says. "I got a $50,000 rifle in yesterday, and it sold yesterday." Despite the high prices of some of the guns, the store is surprisingly approachable. The place has the feel of a hunting lodge with mounted animals, comfy leather couches, and wood paneling. Most of the guns can be picked up, although the more expensive ones are behind glass. And its neighbors appreciate the business; women hit the doggy bakery while men browse the rifles, and then together they hit Spoto's Oyster Bar next door for lunch.
As owner and landlord for the past 40 years of the Fort Lauderdale Swap Shop, the second-largest flea market in the country, Preston Henn knows a lot about sales pitches and asphalt-level marketing. Want to gather a crowd? Get the calliope rumbling and a barker pitching dreams and lurid promises. Henn long ago got the idea of drawing customers to his 80 acres of marketing chaos by givin' 'em a circus and amusement rides.
"We've got a free circus every day," says Henn, the old pitchman stepping up. "We've got a carnival with a Ferris wheel and bumpy rides. I liked the circus when I was a kid. I liked the rides, the scarier the better. What do I like about it now? It works." Best Liquor Store Liquor and Wine Merchant
In an item-by-item price comparison with six other liquor stores in the area on 1.75-liter bottles of Myers Rum, Jose Cuervo Tequila, and Absolut Vodka, Liquor and Wine Merchant tied for the second cheapest, with a combined total of $100.97 for the three. What makes the dollar stretch further in the fun-to-shop atmosphere is the advice proffered by the round-cheeked boys behind the counter, who really seem to know a bit about tippin' the ol' bottle. In keeping with their motto, "See the Round Boys for a Square Deal," the thick-shouldered young man behind the counter advised, "Try Svedka instead of Absolut. It's distilled five times instead of three." With a price tag of $19.99 instead of $30.99 for Absolut, that brings the total down to $89.97 for three hefty bottles of good party liquor. So when it's time to throw down with friends, the Round Boys are going to leave you enough dough for mixers.
If someone's too ugly, obnoxious, or just plain weird to sit in the audience at a taping of the Jerry Springer Show, where do they go? Apparently, to watch NWA (National Wrestling Alliance) matches, which take place at various locales around the state, often at the Bergeron Rodeo Grounds in Davie. The freakishness, thank goodness, isn't limited to the spectators. Inside the ring, you'll see a parade of waxed chests, tree-trunk thighs, and teeny man-bikinis. Current NWA superstars include "Black Nature Boy" Scoot Andrews. In this warped entertainment vortex, the crowd goes ape-shit for characters like Double Deuce, a tag team of two guys whose weenies are feebly noticeable through their clownish purple spandex. Their masculinity, however, is not to be doubted when they bust out their signature finishing move -- called "Balls on Your Chin." Such antics, of course, make for great family entertainment. Almost better than the wrestling in the ring is the sideshow -- when a bunch of 9-year-olds run up and tell the losing wrestlers that they're pussies; then the bikini-clad 35-year-olds growl and chase the kids around the arena. Each show gets you about three hours of delicious weirdness, for about 12 cheap bucks.
Wedged between a Vietnamese soup house and a tropical ice cream parlor, Rankin Records rounds out a truly multiculti strip mall (there's a store selling Middle Eastern goods around the corner) along busy Highway 441. Unlike usual reggae suspects you'll find at your suburban CD megastore, Rankin leaves the pricey Bob Marley box sets for Johnny-come-lately types and instead focuses its stock on the needs of discriminating West Indian expats. Put it this way -- you probably won't find the collected works of Ras Shiloh at your local Best Buy. Obscure offerings issued on tiny, mom-'n'-pop labels abound. Small and loud (like any good reggae shop should be), Rankin is the place to find local recording artists from Screwdriver to Tanto Irie on CD, cassette, and even 12-inch vinyl singles. A case full of DVD and videotapes is where you'll finally discover that live Yellowman show you've been looking for. As you'd expect, Rankin's interior is flush with new vinyl albums, including one whole wall devoted to soca compilations decorated with colorful and racy cover art (who knew they made bathing suits that small?) and a healthy selection of old-school soul and R&B discs for Gramps to pore over. Most impressive is the store's commitment to representing every segment of the West Indian musical universe, its bins packed with "calypsoca" collections galore. With seminal artists like Mighty Sparrow acknowledging the presence of the Trini Massive in South Florida, Rankin has the island vibe sewn up.
You probably haven't noticed Modern Music tucked back from this busy boulevard, where you risk life and limb by gawking. But this shop has garnered the attention of the music-minded because of its friendly staff and range of instruments. This isn't one of those cavernous chain music stores; you're always within conversation range of the people who have the answers -- and they're always ready to dicker on the prices. Inventory includes instruments, electronic equipment, music books, and accessories. Four long rows of electric and acoustic guitars dangle from above, including an eye-catching, butterscotch-blond Fender bass for $899, which is appealing enough to serve as a wall hanging. A Jay Turser acoustic guitar features the Statue of Liberty carved into the wood below the strings, a patriotic flourish selling for just under $400. For a more exotic sound, pick up a darbuka drum for only $54. The store doesn't cater just to five-piece rock bands either. Its rent-to-own plan for orchestral instruments begins as low as $16 a month for the basics -- flutes, trumpets, violins, and the like -- to $113 a month for high-end pieces, such as the baritone sax.
Along with a thorough selection, visual impact is crucial at a record store. You want people to walk in and immediately wonder, preferably out loud, "Holy crap, where'd they find all this freakin' vinyl?!" If sheer overload is the name of the game, newcomer Super Soul Records gets the gold. Do the math: 500 milk crates, each holding about 100 records. That's about, what? Fifty thousand freakin' records, that's what. Storeowner King George Johnson has been a vinyl archaeologist in New York City for more than 20 years, unearthing rare soul, disco, funk, Latin, R&B, acid jazz, and techno records since the early '80s. He and his son Jamal packed up a U-Haul and shipped a portion of his collection to Fort Lauderdale to open Super Soul. "King Herc used to come by the house all the time," Jamal, who's the store manager, says of his heady Harlem upbringing. The 20-year-old Jamal has been immersed in his dad's collection since he can remember, and he often hits local hip-hop events, like Rock Bottom Hip-Hop at the Fort Lauderdale Saloon and Catalyst in Pembroke Pines, with crates in hand and records for sale, like Tupac's "Still I Rise" for only $20. That kind of service is nice, but to really get Super sold, get lost in the endless stacks at the store.

Many families turn to old favorites, such as mac and cheese and tacos, for dinner time. Unfortunately, some of these go-to meals aren't always made with the healthiest ingredients. But, the recipes are easy and taste delicious, so you can't help but make them week after week. The good news? Healthier versions of these recipes do exist, and they're just as easy to make (and taste just as good.) Just make sure you plan out your meals and shop accordingly to ensure you have your healthy ingredients on hand when it comes time to cook dinner, writes WebMD. With a few simple switches, you'll quickly be on your way to putting healthier food in front of your family. Try one of these five healthy recipes to start — you won't be disappointed.
For your next meal, swap out your standard tacos for Andrea's chicken tacos instead, per America Now. The chicken is much healthier than beef, and the vegetables add more flavor, allowing you to cut back on the cheese and sour cream you usually pile on your taco.
- 1 pound chicken (boneless/skinless breast)
- 4 green chiles
- 1/4 yellow onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 bay leaf
- Salt/pepper
- Dry ground oregano
Directions: Roast the fresh green chiles by placing them in the oven under a high broil setting. Blacken each side, and then immediately place the blackened chiles in a large zip-lock bag for 10 minutes. Under running cold water, remove the blackened skin, stem, and (optional) seeds. Roughly chop the chiles into large chunks or strips.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the chicken in a large roasting pan, adding water (just enough water to cover the chicken.) Roughly cut one-fourth of a yellow onion into slices. Add to chicken. Finely chop two garlic cloves, adding to the chicken. Add salt and pepper to taste. Then add in about one teaspoon of oregano, followed by one bay leaf.
Cover and roast the chicken for about 1 hour, 30 minutes. Shred the chicken and return to the oven for an additional 30 minutes. Then, load your taco shells (preferably whole wheat) with the chicken, lettuce, and a touch of hot sauce for a delicious taco alternative.

No Days Off on New Year's for Law Enforcement Officers
Published December 31st, 2012
Loading Video...
GAINESVILLE - While north central Florida residents found different ways to celebrate New Year's, a few people actually have to spend this holiday at work... including police and sheriff's deputies.
The Christmas and New Year's holidays are often one of the busiest and most deadly times of the year for law enforcement officers. For Sgt. Frank Kinsey of the Alachua County Sheriff's Office, working on a holiday is nothing new. The ten year veteran of ASO is the father of two children, including a 3-month-old son who is experiencing his first New Year's. Kinsey says missing these moments is often the hardest part of working holidays.
Kinsey says deputies typically respond to more domestic disturbance calls during these holiday breaks. He says the call volume typically picks up around 1 or 2 o'clock in the morning, as residents call in to report fireworks that are often mistaken for gunshots.
