The proximal tubular cells of the kidney are responsible for reabsorption of proteins from the tubular lumen. In a study using Opossum kidney (OK) cells, receptor-mediated protein endocytosis was reduced by statins, inhibitors of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl CoA (HMG-CoA) reductase, which are widely used for therapeutic reduction of plasma cholesterol levels (1). In a subsequent in vitro study protein endocytosis in human mixed proximal/distal kidney tubular cells was investigated in the presence and absence of statins to explore the possible clinical relevance of the observations in OK cells (2). The uptake of FITC-labeled albumin in these cultures occurred selectively into proximal tubular cells while it was absent in distal tubular/collecting duct cells. Three statins (simvastatin, pravastatin, and rosuvastatin) significantly inhibited the uptake of protein in a concentration-dependent way. This inhibitory effect of statins could be prevented by the co-addition of mevalonate, the product of HMG-CoA reductase. This effect was not the result of a statin-induced cytotoxicity since cell-viability was unaffected.
These data suggest that statins have the potential to inhibit albumin uptake by the human proximal nephron as a result of inhibition of HMG-CoA reductase in the proximal tubule cells. A reduced prenylation of some proteins critically involved in endocytosis has been put forward as the underlying mechanism.
Knowing these data it has been suggested that the occurrence of proteinuria in some patients treated with high statin doses is the result of a reduced tubular reabsorption/endocytosis of normally filtered proteins. To further explore the clinical relevance of such a mechanism, the composition of the urinary proteome under statin treatment will be investigated in normal healthy volunteers by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis based proteomics analysis.

Gonna ditch town with the guys to unwind before the summer is over? Awesome. Make sure you're properly prepared with these 10 essentials for your last minute weekend getaway.
By Emily Winter
Congratulations! You're taking a last minute summer weekend getaway! You've been putting in way too many hours at the office and you've barely seen your friends (or the sun) since March. You've earned it. Well, let's hope you have. To be honest, I don't know you that well yet, but I've given guys the benefit of the doubt for far less than reading my column.
With any luck, you'll be in for sun, water, booze and babes strong-minded, funny independent women who happen to be totally hot. So you, ManCandy, need to look your best without any fuss.
To make this as simple as possible, leave all black clothes and accessories at home. For beginner through intermediate dresser purposes, black clashes with brown and navy. Sure, you're conscious of this now, but you'll be way too distracted (ahem, drunk) to worry about these things come mini-vacation. The good news is recycling clothes over a long weekend is totally acceptable. No one expects you to be bogged down with a heavy bag (then who will carry mine?). See, us girls are very understanding. We're quite wonderful creatures, really.
Here's the failsafe, comprehensive list of the 10 things you'll need (besides underwear and a toothbrush) to toss in your weekend duffle bag:
1. Two swim trunks
Yes, two. Unless you want to end up skinny dipping with three of your best buddies during the spur-of-the-moment midnight lake/ocean/pool plunge, two.
2. One pair of shorts
I hate to break it to you, but I'm adamantly anti-cargo shorts. Not only do the huge pockets destroy your silhouette (you've got one whether you like it not), but I can't quite get the Napoleon Dynamite tater tot scene out of my mind. What's so important that it needs to constantly be smashed up against your thigh (besides me)? Do your sexy ManBod a favor and try a pair of knee length non-cargos. Green, khaki, blue, brown, plaid, whatever. Just shed the sloppy-looking pockets. Please. Let them die.
3. One pair of dark jeans
Day, night. Casual, fancy. Wear them with any shirt. Done.
4. T-Shirts to wear to the beach
This gets tricky. You want to bring two t-shirts that could end up as turtle food, but still give the vibe that you're a fun, thoughtful, interesting human being. (Even if you're not.) First, don't bring beer t-shirts. This doesn't express anything new about you because you'll already be drunk. Comfy vintage/vintage-inspired t-shirts are fine, as long as they aren't two sizes too big.
SIDENOTE: There's a bit of discrepancy over what constitutes a legitimate vintage ironic t-shirt versus your run-of-the-mill-Urban Outfitters "Tickets to the Gun Show" T. My rule is any shirt printed pre-George W. Bush administration has the capacity to be legitimately ironic (i.e. your snug and comfy high school baseball T). Any shirt printed pre-Clinton administration gets the coveted "vintage" title (you fourth grade spelling champ, you!). In any case, a T that fits well, isn't stained and doesn't shamelessly acknowledge your alcoholism or penchant for lewd endeavors at a Jamaican All-Inclusive is going to be just fine for daytime near the water.
5. A V-neck t-shirt
A V-neck T (in any color, even white!) is a hundred thousand times classier and more flattering than a round neck one. If you choose to wear this to the beach, you can continue sporting it to a dinner or bonfire and still look appropriate. Along with dark denim, it's one of your most versatile articles.
One t-shirt secret is that cotton-nylon blends and jersey blend shirts won't wrinkle in your bag nearly as much as a T-shirt that's 100 percent cotton. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, check your shirt tag.
6. A hat
I just can't get over a man in a hat right now. I'm falling in love all over the place, really. If you want to be fashionable without looking particularly cutting-edge, try a straw, pinched front hat with a small brim. Wear it in the day to keep the sun off your face, or just pull it out at night to dress up your sand-covered V neck shirt.
7. Two items to keep you warm
Ideally, a zip-up hoodie and a lightweight cardigan. Why two items, you ask? Us girls get cold, sir, and Extra Sweatshirt Guy is about 15 degrees closer to warming our hearts.
If you can swing it, a cashmere cardigan won't wrinkle much in a duffle bag. But if you have plans to hit up a fancier restaurant, swap the sweater or sweatshirt for a lightweight blazer. It'll allow you to get away with wearing your dark jeans to an upscale place.
8. One pair of leather brown flops
That's right. Unless you plan to hike, play tennis or seriously dance, one pair of brown flip flops is all you need to take you from the beach to the late-night wine and cheese party Red Bikini Girl (what was her name again?) invited you to.
9. Brown belt
Your flops are brown, you've abandoned everything black, so all you need is one brown belt. See how easy?
10. One linen shirt
Why are you boys so wary of linen? Were you all child labor trafficked into a horrible linen factory when you were five or something? Listen: linen is masculine, and a linen button up shirt looks sexy even when wrinkled. You can throw it over your V-neck when it gets chilly and leave the top few buttons open for that "fresh off the Yacht" look.
And if you actually have a yacht, call me.
What to Bring if You Still Have Extra Room in Your Bag:
- Plastic bags. Not only will a Ziploc bag be great for toting home wet clothes, but if you pack your items in plastic bags they'll wrinkle less, too.
- Wine bottle and opener. Someone will thank you. And she could be your soul mate.
- Towels. Wrap 'em around the wine bottle. Unless you're staying in a hotel, it's always better to bring your own, lest your host runs out.
- Jam Pants. I understand most of you guys don't wear flannel pajama bottoms to bed, but you should have some type of athletic pants comfy enough to lounge in. If you're staying in a house full of friends, you may not want to have that little window in your boxers exposed as you're making coffee. It's the quickest way to turn "morning wood" into a "morning wouldn't," you follow.

Yeah - right - like that would keep badguy's guns out. Geez, another attempt at a (legal) gun-free zone. I still fail to see the logic and how this would make a place remotely safer - quite the opposite.

Clyde, Ohio, is a small town, but its legal quest to keep guns out of city parks could have a big effect on firearms laws across the state.

He was on top of the world when his flick "Argo" won the Academy Award for Best Picture, and Ben Affleck raised some eyebrows with his acceptance speech.
The "Mallrats" hunk proclaimed, "I want to thank you for working on our marriage for 10 Christmases. It's good. It is work, but the best kind of work and there's no one I'd rather work with," regarding wife Jennifer Garner.
After rumors swirled about a feud over an Oscar dress with Anne Hathaway, Amanda Seyfried has taken to Twitter to squash any allegations of ill will on her end.
It's an exciting time for Adele after winning her first Oscar at last month's 85th Academy Awards, and she's sharing the thrill with her 4-month-old son.
The "Chasing Pavements" singer celebrated the big win by giving her little guy his own "Oscar-style" trophy for being Best Son.
In a move that could have negative repercussions for her career, Kerry Washington made a last-minute dress switch on the night of the Academy Awards, according to reports.
Originally planning to wear a gown designed by Marchesa's Georgina Chapman, who happens to be the wife of studio exec Harvey Weinstein, the "Django Unchained" star changed her mind.
He's always ready with an encouraging word, and Anderson Cooper has taken up for Anne Hathaway in the wake of some Oscar speech criticism.
The "Anderson Today" host blasted haters for giving the "Get Smart" gal grief over her Best Supporting Actress acceptance speech at the 85th Academy Awards last weekend.
It was a momentous occasion when Anne Hathaway scored the Best Supporting Actress Oscar at the 85th Academy Awards on Sunday night (February 24), however the "Les Miserables" actress felt bad for ditching her Valentino dress in a last-minute decision.
She took a big fall on her way up to accept her Best Actress trophy at the 85th Academy Awards on Sunday (February 24) and it seems Jennifer Lawrence forgot to thank a couple key people during her speech.
The "Hunger Games" gal left out "Silver Linings Playbook" director David O Russell and producer Harvey Weinstein, and she feels awful about it.
They looked magnificent as they took the stage for a dance number at the 85th Academy Awards on Sunday (February 24) and Charlize Theron and Channing Tatum really didn't have much time to practice ahead of time.

Dion Phaneuf by the numbers
1 – Phaneuf won a world junior championship gold medal with Canada in 2005.
2 – The number Phaneuf will wear with the Senators. He previously sported No. 3 with the Calgary Flames and Toronto, but that number is currently held by Senators defenceman Marc Methot.
3 – The number of NHL all-star games Phaneuf has appeared in, twice as a member of the Flames and once as a Leaf.
7 – The number of playoff games the Maple Leafs appeared in with Phaneuf as captain.
9 – The Flames selected Phaneuf ninth overall in the 2003 NHL draft.
20 – The number of goals Phaneuf scored as a rookie in the 2005-06 season. He has not reached that milestone since.
44 – The number of points Phaneuf totalled in his best offensive season (2011-12) as a Leaf.
60 – The number of points Phaneuf scored in the 2007-08 season, when he was a finalist for the Norris trophy as best defenceman.
423 – The number of regular season games Phaneuf played as a Leaf, tied for 55th-most in team history.
1,120 – The number of penalty minutes the hard-hitting Phaneuf has piled up over his NHL career.
7 million – Phaneuf's annual cap hit in US dollars until his contract expires in 2021.
The Canadian Press
TORONTO — The Toronto Maple Leafs have traded 32-year-old defenceman Dion Phaneuf to the Ottawa Senators. And also various Dion Phaneufs ranging in age from 33 to 36.
Phaneuf is, presently, 30 years old. And the Maple Leafs were probably quite happy to pay him his exorbitant salary for another year or two while he soaked up a lot of minutes on a rebuilding team.
But what they absolutely did not want to do was keep paying Phaneuf that money, $7-million annually, for another five seasons after this one, not when that would leach into the years during which this not-good team actually plans to be good. They didn't want to pay Phaneuf one bit of that salary in those future years, in fact, which is why general manager Lou Lamoriello said it was "extremely important" that the Senators retained his full ticket. It's a trade that makes no sense for the Maple Leafs, aside from the inclusion of a good prospect in Tobias Lindberg, but for the fact that it unloads the Phaneuf contract.
Who trades their captain to a division rival? A team that knows the captain is grossly overpaid. (It also helps that no one presently in management was around when said contract was signed.)
To put that contract in perspective, consider that Drew Doughty of the Los Angeles Kings, one of the best defencemen in the game, who is five years younger than Phaneuf, also carries a $7-million annual cap hit for the three season after this one. (Phaneuf's contract is, yes, two years longer.) The former Toronto captain is, to put it charitably, not the same type of player. He's not a top-pairing defenceman, and better suited to a second pairing — although you could still get some argument there — which means his salary is completely out of whack with his worth.
This is less of a concern for the Senators, who are not close to spending to the salary cap and don't intend to be, but a significant one for the Maple Leafs, who pay their coach like he is the dictator of a small island nation and who want to ensure that they have cap room to pay their own young prospects when the team is rounding into form — or to pay a big-dollar free agent in the short term. In a salary-cap world, the worst thing you can do is overpay for mediocrity, because it limits the amount you have left to pay excellence. The Maple Leafs just unloaded $35-million worth of meh.
Will they throw that money at Tampa's Steve Stamkos in July? Will they make more moves between now and season's end to shed more talent and sink further down the standings in the process? Maybe, and almost definitely. Lamoriello, cagey as ever, said he thinks of the Leafs as "on a five-year plan that changes every single day."
A pause here to note the bewildering sense of confusion that accompanies the Toronto Maple Leafs making shrewd, rational decisions. President Brendan Shanahan's decision to move on from the hapless former regime was an easy one, and the hiring of well-regarded executives Kyle Dubas and Mark Hunter into personnel roles suggested he had a smart long game in mind. The Lamoriello hiring looked like it might have been a wobble — his best days in New Jersey are a long time ago, and before the salary-cap era — but in his first major move he has shown that he is wholly on board with getting good by first getting bad. Babcock and the coaching staff also did the front office a tremendous help by sheltering Phaneuf this season, keeping him away from opponents' top lines and reducing his time on the penalty kill. He went from being the subject of nightly complaints and boos — and the focus of SaluteGate, the brief anti-fan insurrection — to playing competent hockey against lesser competition. Suddenly he had value again. Are you interested in buying this used car? Yes, that is a new coat of paint. No, it has never been in accident. Honest.
The other parts of the trade — Jared Cowen, Milan Michalek, Colin Greening and a draft pick from the Sens and four minor-leaguers from the Leafs — all feel like secondary elements beyond the fact that the Senators would pay Phaneuf and the Maple Leafs would not. Tertiary, even.
On his conference call with reporters on Tuesday, Lamoriello, after praising Phaneuf as much as could for being a good leader and an all-around solid fellow, admitted that when the option came to get out from under the captain's contract, he had "no choice" but to make the transaction.
He had said earlier that it was always hard to trade a core player like Phaneuf, but that deals like that "are going to be made for the reasons that they are made."
He didn't explain what those reasons were, nor did he need to.

It has taken just four AFL games for the electrifying buzz around Majak Daw to power North Melbourne to a victory.
A six-goal haul from the first Sudanese player in the sport's top-flight was the difference as the Kangaroos steamrolled a brave Western Bulldogs by 54 points at Etihad Stadium on Saturday.
Playing just his fourth game, Daw starred as North poured on nine final-quarter goals to win 22.19 (151) to 15.7 (97).
The 22-year-old's imposing presence and athleticism helped him to 6.4 for the match.
Importantly, Daw's goals came at critical times to lift North as the Bulldogs pressured them for three quarters until tiring and falling apart in the last.
Daw's pair of late second-quarter goals helped the Kangaroos to a 13-point halftime lead.
Then he grabbed a critical mark and goal seconds before three-quarter time to break the Dogs, and give North an important 19-point lead at the final change to build victory.
His sixth goal came late in the final term to ice the win - North coach Brad Scott admitting surprise that Daw's learning curve is taking such a sharp, upward swing so early.
"He's picking things up really quickly now. While he's not a complete footballer yet, we're trying to play to his strengths," Scott said.
"We knew he'd be able to do some of the things he did today, but the consistency of effort was always going to be the challenge for him, and it still is the challenge for him.
"He can do things others can't, but his challenge is to be able to do it when things aren't working for him."
Daw received important help around the goalsquare from veteran Drew Petrie, who booted three goals and offered constant shielding, while on-baller Jack Ziebell's 27 touches laid the groundwork and grunt.
With just two wins in their previous 20 matches, the Bulldogs threatened an upset for much of the contest - trading goals and four lead changes throughout the third term.
But the Kangaroos found their goalkicking radar in the final term - Scott feeling their first half inaccuracy contributed to the pressure they were under.
Bulldogs coach Brendan McCartney felt his side's first three quarters were among their best efforts of the year, but lamented crucial lapses at key times.
"Their last quarter was very good and we couldn't keep up," he said.
"They got hold of us around the ball, and moved it way too easily.
"It was a very good quarter by them, and not our best quarter of footy."
Midfielder Ryan Griffen was clearly the Bulldogs' best with 34 possessions, while Nick Lower did a fine job to limit North skipper Andrew Swallow.
Swallow left the field with a knee injury late in the match when Bulldogs player Liam Picken jumped across his leg while attempting a smother.
But Scott said early signs were there was no structural damage to Swallow's knee.
Defender Aaron Mullett was substituted at halftime with a sprained ankle, while Scott was bullish a back injury to key position player Lachlan Hansen was not serious.
North Melbourne now move to a 3-4 win-loss record, while the Bulldogs are 1-6.

LTA Lacks Equipment to Monitor,Manage Service Providers
By Hilary Vasco Wiagbe
MONROVIA, Jan 21 (LINA) -The Board of Commissioners of the Liberia Telecommunication Authority (LTA) says the entity lacks essential equipment to effectively monitor and manage service providers in the country.
The Board said some companies are capitalizing on this shortfall to defraud the Government of Liberia of legitimate revenues.
The Commissioners made the statement Monday when they appeared for confirmation hearing before the Senate Committee on Posts and Telecommunications at the Capitol Building.
They also said the Commission is finding it difficult to collect fees owed it by some service providers due to "Judicial" bottlenecks.
According to them, whenever the Commissioners want to revoke the operational licenses of indebted companies and seek court action, the court usually places a stay order on their decision.
They noted that one of the problems confronting the LTA is the fact that it has not been able to have access to all the revenue being generated by the sector as stipulated in the constitutional provision that created the Authority.
The Commissioners, however, informed the Senators that despite the challenges, they are doing everything possible to improve the communication sector of Liberia.
Commissioners who appeared before the Senate Committee on Posts and Telecommunications included Angeline Weeks, Chairman; and Harry Yuan, Henry Benson and B. Anthony McCritty, Commissioners.
They were nominated and their names forwarded to the Liberian Senate last year for confirmation by President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf.
In brief remarks, the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Posts and Telecommunications, John Ballout acknowledged the achievements of the LTA under the current team.
Although the Committee is yet to confirm the nominated Commissioners, Senator Ballout said they have performed to expectation over the years.
Meanwhile, the Senate Committee on Posts and Telecommunications has called on President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf to nominate the fifth Commissioner to complete the LTA Board of Commissioners.

Grassian said that now is the right time to begin assessing potential hazards posed by the particles because industry is increasing production of nanoparticles -- which are thousands of times smaller than the width of a human hair -- for use in products ranging from automobile fenders to skin care creams.
"From silver nanoparticle used in socks as an antimicrobial agent to cerium oxide nanoparticle used in the removal of nitrogen oxides from car exhaust to carbon nanotube used to strengthen car doors, nanomaterials in general and nanoparticles in particular are being widely used," Grassian said. "As manufacturing of nanomaterials becomes more commonplace, we can expect that these manufactured materials will get into the environment during production, distribution or use."
In fact, much of the environment may be at risk. For example, nanoparticles have the potential to find their way into rivers, lakes and even drinking water, said Grassian, who is also professor of chemistry in the UI College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and professor of chemical and biochemical engineering in the UI College of Engineering.
In their EPA-funded research, Grassian and her colleagues will conduct fundamental laboratory measurements on the physical and chemical properties of nanoparticles and gather data needed to predict the environmental fate of commercially manufactured nanoparticles. These data, in turn, will be used in models to predict the environmental fate of various nanomaterials.
In time, the UI research results will constitute a valuable contribution to the growing database of information regarding the potential environmental and health implications of nanoscience and nanotechnology.
Grassian, who is also investigating the potential implications and risks of nanoparticles in air, said her interests fall under the broad umbrella of "Sustainable Nanotechnology." Grassian said, "Ultimately, any technology will only be of real value and use to society if the technology is nontoxic or free of a major environmental concern. There is a new awareness of the need to develop technology in a sustainable way, a paradigm promoted by the University of Iowa's Nanoscience and Nanotechnology Institute."
Grassian's colleagues on the EPA-funded project include UI graduate students John Pettibone, Sherrie Elzey and Imali Mudunkotuwa.
Institute funding currently amounts to more than $6 million, including grants totaling $1.2 million from the National Institutes of Health and $1.5 million from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
The UI grant is a part of EPA's Science to Achieve Results (STAR) Program. STAR engages the nation's best scientists and engineers in targeted research that complements EPA's intramural research programs and those of EPA's partners in other federal agencies.

It seems like the West's are really trying to hide little North West from everyone. According to Mirror, The couple have reportedly dropped $500,00 dollars on a baby double so that little North West can live a normal life under the spotlight. There were auditions geld out in LA and it is reported that they have found the prefect look a like. To add more to the story they have also reportedly hired a nanny double for even more protection. Hopefully the West's get the type of great protection that they are paying for.

" Three Rivers council / A local large lake park in Rickmansworth, just outside of London in Hertfordshire "
Sometimes I really take it for granted that I live in the London suburbs, and forget that I have the easy access to urban and rural attractions. Rickmansworth was a place I longed to live in as I grew up in Harrow and Sudbury, and as a student me and freinds would make regular trips to the town, primarily for one place, The Aquadrome. Part of Rickmansworth lies in the Colne Valley regional park, and the Aquadrome is a highlight of this fact. Here are my thoughts of this large public park, which have been gathered over many years of visiting the Rickmansworth Aquadrome.
--A Place to Go...--
During my student and school days, the typical activity of drinking in a park was a regular thing before I could enter pubs legally. The ever-so-sweetly termed 'Ricky' was place we would go to get away from London, and the aquadrome was always where we went. Even though it's only several miles outside of the city, it seemed at the time like it was a totally different area, like taking a day trip to the country, and it reminded me of the fond memories of my childhood in Lincolnshire. It seemed so out-of-the-way, and became a highlight whenever we used to visit. The usual thing to do was walk around the park, armed with copious amounts of cheap cider, sit by the shoreline, drinking and paddling in the sunshine. This was a time where Health and Safety was much more relaxed, and you could swim in the water, and because of the nature of the purpose built lakes, you could even stand up in the middle if you found the right place. As I got older, I learned to appreciate the Aquadrome more for it's beauty and natural wildlife, and it still retains this in high regard today, probably even more so then back then.
Of course, now living in Rickmansworth it's not all that special, but the Aquadrome is still a lovely place to go, and does take the stress out of city life, giving that feeling of being at ease in pleasant surroundings and breaking away from the rat-race. Apart from a rather impressive sounding name that wouldn't look out of place is it was a waterslide park, it is basically a large public park covering over 40 hectares, and is comprised of woodland, grass clearings, the River Colne, the southern end of the Grand Union Canal, and the main feature of three medium sized lakes. Although the park is designated a Local Nature Reserve, two of the lakes are used for sailing, water-skiing and other boating activities. This is all kept quite low-key and so doesn't intrude on the overall natural appearance of the park. There are also a few human-built additions. A modest café, a fairly roomy car park and a children's playground placed at the closest part to Rickmansworth.
--Getting There, Local Amenities and Prices--
Rickmansworth is a small town right on the border of Greater London, and is very close in proximity to the M25. If you are visiting from outside London, it's best to use this route, exiting at Junction 17 on the M25 and following the signs to Rickmansworth. This is less than a two miles from the motorway. If you are coming out from London, the A40 is the most direct route, getting onto the A412 (Denham Way) and following this striaght into Rickmansworth. Once you are into town, follow the signs to the LNR Aquadrome, which is clearly posted at several points. The primary entry point by car is a little awkward, negotiating a few residential streets and a humpback bridge, but you can park in the town centre for 2 hours free of charge at Iceland and Marks & Spencer, and walk into the park. By foot, you can enter from many points. By the canal path, via the car entrance or at the northern-most corner at Ebury Roundabout.
The Aquadrome is free to enter all year round, and never closes to people visiting by foot, but the car park which hold approximately 60 cars does close upon nightfall. The playground and picnic areas are also free, and are clean and well kept. The Ebury playground can get very busy in the summer months however, with many families and children, and there's always an ice cream van if you wish to indulge. Also free to access is the the canal path and river Colne, apart from certain times of the year and when the town holds an annual 'Rickmansworth Week'. Entry to the canal path is £3 because of the local events and show-boats on display, but this is a fun time to visit.
Apart from the various shops and pubs in town, there is a handy but small Tesco just before the main entrance if you wish is pick up any picnic goods, and a pub called The White Bear located next to this, sitting on the side of the Canal. This pub is a typical local style place, many of the canal folk drink here but is generally a friendly atmosphere with little trouble to speak off. They also provide food, pool and host TV sports events occasionally.
--A Quarry-Load of Water--
Built sometime in the 20's, the artificial lakes of Stocker's, Bury and Batchworth were originally stone quarries used to build many structures in London. The original Wembley Stadium used material from here, but the area was converted into a nature reserve soon after this. Over the years, the lakes now appear quite natural, with swampland, marshs and shingle banks surrounding all of them, giving the park a very rustic feel. Like I said before, because they were quarries, the lake beds are uneven, and when it was allowed to swim in them, you could stand up in the middle of Bury lake. Of course this is dangerous and a possible pollutant, so swimming is strictly prohibited now. Many fish specis were also indroduced to the lakes, mostly Batchworth and Stocker's, and it had been rumoured that Pike can pop up from time to time in Bury lake. Fishing is allowed in all of the lakes and the river Colne, but you have to have special licenses to fish in Stocker's.
All of the lakes have a designated purpose too. Stocker's is the most isolated as it is the primary nature reserve and bird sanctuary. You can observe this from the pathway between Bury lake, with many breeds of ducks, swans, geese and other freshwater bird-life. Access to Stocker's is restricted too, and not generally open to the everyday public. Bury is the smallest lake and is the public centrepiece of the Aquadrome, with the pathways winding there way around it. Most of the lakeside picnic areas are based here, and it can be quite a walk to go all around it. Signposting is at a minimum, but the pathways are clear and naturally cut into the park. Dogs can be let of the leash too, but the normal clearing up methods should be practised, and a careful eye should be taken if your lovable mutt were to venture into the waters. Bury lake is also home to a local youth sailing club, and various water-sports such as water polo. Batchworth is a sort of mixture between Stocker's and Bury. If plays host of water-skiing and canoeing, but has several islands that are home to yet more bird-life. It is the northern-most lake and sits next to the river Colne, so fisherman regularly reside here. Of the whole of the park, Batchworth has the most intertwining of pathways, so it is easy to lose your bearings, but I find that if you keep walking and sticking to the paths, you'll find your way out.
The Aquadrome has been awarded a Green Flag award for excellence, which highlights the cleanliness and great upkeep of the park. The waters are now generally very clear and clean, but the odd human rubbish does sometimes amount in places, typically around the picnic areas and fishing points around Batchworth and Bury. The park on the whole however is kept very neat, and rarely do you find yourself step into some dog-mess, or for your children to accidentally discover an unfortunate birds corpse. The grasslands are well managed, and are visitor friendly whilst maintaining a natural look. Most of the additions for visitors have been blended into the environment, and the park tries hard to stray away from an artificial feel. Examples of this would be that wood bark and large stone chips are used for the paths and car park, and the shoreline are left to develop as nature intended. The only rather industrial part would be the entrance to the Ebury playground from Batchworth lake, where you have to cross a bridge housing pipes used for the nearby weir, but this is forgiveable and doesn't detract from the general qualities of the park.
The Café-In-The-Park, located east of the Bury lake shoreline and nearby to the car park and off-lake picnic area, is a wooden building which although is designed to blend in, is obviously new and does stand out amongst the trees. It's a modest establishment, and again can get very busy much like the playground, and oddly has a rather middle-class menu. Built in 2009, it is a family run, casual style restaurant and caters for mainly families. The usual hot and cold beverages are avialable, and a coffee will set you back around £1.80, but the cheapest adult lunchtime meal is above the £5 mark. The lunchtime menu starts from 12pm to closing time at 5.00pm, and the breakfast menu runs from 9.00am until lunch. They do have a nice, if a little restricted choice, and have vegetarian dishes too as well as pastries and fruit. It's really like a wine bar food menu mixed with that of a coffee shop like Costa or Starbucks, so don't expect to feed your family of 2.4 for less than £20. The food is well served and cooked however, and more importantly they use local produce which adds to the freshness but also the price.
The café has various shaped seating areas, both inside and outside of a veranda overlooking Bury lake. Inside, some of the tables are very high, large and wooden with bench seating which is not really comfortable, but there are also several placed tables with regular metal chairs which are fine. The general atmosphere is ok, but will be noisy during busy hours. They also have a facility for hired parties and special events.
Overall, the Aquadrome is a lovely place to visit to get a quick fix of peacefulness and nature so close to London. The park to very well kept, with plenty going on both on a nature and human aspect, and the lakes, grasslands and river combine with the canal and cafe to make a well balanced attraction, if somewhat low-key. It's not exactly the most serene of parks considering it's size as it can get busy during the hotter days, but it still has a lot to offer for walking, wildlife, water activities and family time. Of course, my old days of spending alcohol guzzleing sessions in the park have not gone away with the current crop of teenagers, and sometimes a rather boisterous group or two will be present on your visit, but this is not as frequent nowadays. With an underground and train link running into Rickmansworth, and being easy to access by road, the Aquadrome is not a hard place to visit, and for the fisherman or twitcher in you, is perfect without escaping to the countryside. As Rickmansworth has a tight community, the Aquadrome is held in high regard and respect, and this shows in the way it is presented. An oasis of the countryside set into the London suburbs, I find this park a great place to relax and take the family, so recommend you pay a visit if in the area.

Oracle Emerges From The Wilderness With Its BPM Suite 11g Release
Posted by Clay Richardson on June 14, 2010
- 637 Recommendations
- 3 comments
Today, with some fanfare, Oracle announced its Oracle BPM Suite 11g Release. Although the product has been GA since late April, Oracle is just now launching a major campaign to announce and promote the new release.
The Oracle BPM Suite 11g release comes as a long-awaited announcement for former BEA customers that built large-scale BPM practices and competency centers around BEA's AquaLogic BPM (ALBPM) Suite offering. Since Oracle announced its acquisition of BEA in January 2008, many of these customers have been scratching their heads trying to figure out whether Oracle was going to kill BEA's BPM Suite in favor of Oracle BPEL. And in some cases, Oracle helped fan the flames of confusion by putting out conflicting messages about which product would survive.
Prior to joining Forrester, I led a dedicated BPM practice for a global consulting firm based in Washington, DC. I stood up the practice with Fuego - a leading BPM suite vendor at the time - as our premier BPM suite partner. We transitioned to partnership with BEA when Fuego was acquired by BEA in 2006. And then finally transitioned to partnership with Oracle, when Oracle acquired BEA in 2008. Over the past 5 years I've had a front row seat - across sales, delivery, and support - to the evolution of the product that Oracle now calls Oracle BPM Suite 11g. I've seen its sparkles and its warts over numerous large-scale implementations for public sector and commercial customers.
Oracle BPM Suite 11g introduces some new features that will empower business stakeholders and also help developers accelerate and better manage BPM development activities, including:
- Web-based process design environment targeting business users - While Oracle still offers one of the best environments for process developers, Oracle BPM Suite 11g provides business analysts - and stakeholders - with a simpler and more intuitive environment for defining high-level business processes. And best of all, these high-level models are executable - so savvy business analysts can do quick mock-ups and prototypes and quickly walk through process execution with stakeholders.
- Native business rules management system (BRMS) - Business rules and BPM suites are now like conjoined twins - they're joined at the hip when it comes to implementing effective and flexible business process solutions. It always struck me as odd that BEA/Oracle did not include business rules as part of their BPM offering - since they typically compete against larger players that provided complex business rules environments. I guess Oracle finally got the message from customers - and competitors - that business rules aren't optional. Oracle BPM Suite 11g provides developers and analysts with a pretty slick environment for managing and configuring complex business rules.
- Support for "single-model refinement" - Some BPM teams complain of 5 or 6 different versions of the model being maintained throughout the life cycle - a high-level model, an intermediate model defined between the business and developers, and a final model developed by IT. Oracle makes an initial attempt to tackle this problem in its BPM Suite 11g release. Process model changes made in the development environment are reflected in the business-oriented model - without exposing/displaying irrelevant technical details to business stakeholders. When Oracle acquired BEA, many customers expressed concern that their BPM suite investments - including technology, skills, and development components - would diminish as Oracle integrated BEA's technology into the "Big Red" stack. Over the past 18 months - since the Oracle acquisition - I've stayed in touch with many of my previous BEA/Oracle BPM customers, and most still express concern and some confusion about Oracle's direction with BPM.
In many ways, Oracle's BPM strategy reminds me of the Israelites that wandered around for 40 years before finally stumbling out of the wilderness. With BPM Suite 11g, it seems Oracle's time in the "BPM wilderness" might be coming to a close - and I'm sure Oracle customers are happy it only took 2 years instead of 40 (smile). Oracle's BPM Suite offering still has some work to do to balance the needs of the business with the needs of developers, but 11g represents a major step in the right direction and should be well-received by existing Oracle BPM customers.
In an interesting twist from Oracle, customers can now evaluate Oracle BPM Suite 11g in the cloud using the Amazon EC2 environment. You can find the Amazon EC2 instructions for Oracle BPM Suite 11g here: http://bit.ly/cyE6XF.
Sound Off
I want to hear from you. Let me know if you think Oracle BPM Suite 11g will help Oracle emerge from the "BPM wilderness" or if they still have more work to do to make BPM a centerpiece in their overall strategy. If you're an existing Oracle BPM customer, let me know how you feel about this new release and which new features you feel will have the greatest impact in your environment. Post your thoughts in the comments section, or feel free to shoot me a quick email at email@example.com.
Interested in 10g BPM Suite users plus new users
Comment from Rich Naszcyniec (not verified) on Wed, 06/16/2010 - 08:57
I am interested in hearing from existing 10g BPM users who must be scratching their heads on why they can't upgrade their 10g work to 11g. How are they handling the lack of upgrade capabilities from Oracle? What is the cost of re-writing everything to work with 11g?
Speaking of cost... what is the real cost of BPM Suite 11g? Oracle has not been forthcoming with what is the cost consoidering the software depndencies. Anyone installing BPM Suite 11g knows you have to install SOA Suite first. Does that mean I need to license SOA Suite? And since SOA Suite requires WebLogic Suite my costs can grow dramatically with all the suite dependencies. In fact, as of the May 13th price list BPM Suite appears to be a list price of over $200K USD for my dual core laptop when I add all the suites together. I doubt Oracle intends that to be the case long term but that is what the price and install documentaiton tell me at the time of this post.
Best of Both Worlds?

Hi Rich,
Thanks for the post. I noticed on your Linked-In profile that you're currently with IBM, by way of Oracle. While we encourage everyone to post, we would prefer that vendors not start flame wars on our blogs. But then again, be careful what you start, because the tables can always be turned.
You are very welcome for the

You are very welcome for the comment on your post. I agree that there is no need for flame wars and certainly nothing like that will be started by me. There simply is no value in such activity. Let us all keep our ear to the ground learning from the experiences of others along with perspectives on what the future may offer.

*GoW Majik Lockes and Seamollient*
:toothy8:Garden of Wisdom Majik Lockes and Seamollient Review:
Majik Lockes is supposed to be a leave-in conditioner but to me it seems more like a styling jelly and I LOVE IT!! It does have B5 and keratin proteins so it may be best for fine hair. I combine it with Seamollient which is an algae gel. Both products are very curl-enhancing, give my hair a lot more body, root lift, shine, bounce and ALL-DAY HOLD WITHOUT FRIZZ!!! I wish ML was cheaper( it is $15 for 4 oz) because I would use more of it as a styling gel but combined with my favorite AOMM and/or Seamollient it works well; my curls do not drop or frizz anymore. I recommend using it in sopping wet hair and start with a small amount of either because they have glue-like qualities. Even though my hair dries very crunchy, I can aggressively scrunch and diffuse without loosing any curl and creating frizz. These are by far the best products I have used!
*** I highly recommend to all fine haired curlies***
Ooo, will have to look at these! I love GoW skincare but hadn't really thought to look at things there for curly hair.
Sounds good, I haven't been on their website for ages as I'm trying not to be tempted by overseas products. I don't remember seeing majik lockes before - is it new? I have wondered about the seamollient in the past though as there was something on here ages ago about algae. Maybe I'll have to revisit.
I think it may be newer; sometimes it is difficult to find things on their website. I may try to mix up a batch of ML myself to save money. You can also mix Seamollient with FSG 50/50 for better hold/body. So far I have mixed it with all of my products 50/50 and get great results ( I would be careful with stronger holding gels). Some use it as a rinse-out but I have not tried that yet.
I had a look and had seen the ML before, I remember being put off by the fact it had "animal derived" next to a couple of ingredients (though who knows what's in the products I usually buy that don't tell you where the ingredients come from!).
I'm sorely tempted to try the water-based serum I spotted though, I miss using serum on my frizz.
There is a vegetarian( veggie keratin) hair serum that is similar; I hear it is more moisturizing like the Healthy Hair Serum .The ingredients almost look the same. I will try samples of both next time!
HeatherOkay - what is the website you get this product from? I am looking for a protein-rich leave and would be interested in trying it out.
Is it still working well for you?
Never mind about the site, I found it.
Seamollient seems to be an ingredient in the product. Did you add more to the Majik Lockes?
Thanks for clarifying that KM. I am going to try it as is but do you recommend adding more to the ML for more hold?
I use a squirt of ML then I mix more Seamollient and my favorite gel then add that to my hair not for hold but I like to use a lot of product in sopping wet hair for curl formation and aid in styling. I think ML by itself has a lot of hold the more you use but it can glue my hair if I use too much , plus it is expensive so I use cheaper products with it. If I could, I would use straight ML more frequently because of the great hold.
Thanks for the reply. I ordered the leave-in and the veggie serum. I need a good leave-in with protein. Great site btw!
I have tried the Seamollient as a rinse-out a few times now. I am not sure about how much conditioning it gives but it does leave my hair with a unique feel; kind of a clumpy but smooth feel which may aid in styling. Also, I tried the Healthy Hair Serum; it is a little more moisturizing with maybe a little less hold and volume than the ML and not so much crunch. I think at this point I prefer the ML to HHS because I need more volume and hold but they are both great products.
So I looked to see where I might be able to source Seamollient ( I live 5 min from the ocean) in Canada.
Is it just me or is ironic that one of websites that offers it is Colorado Organics? :dontknow:
I should figure out how it's made and make my own.
I stumbled across this old post on another forum I check out. Sounds interesting....

Nice. Wish it was larger than 160Gb though. Also I can tell you that the lease units have sat in the sun, been dropped, never turned off..etc. See 400 off-lease HP's a week come through our office and not one has the letters looking good but I'm sure HP's authorized refurb center took care of all that?
Anyone know if these "off lease" laptops have been recertified? Thanks in advance.
Boy, these HP 14" Dual-Core i5 ProBook are really not selling like hotcakes!
Just got mine today. The lid won't stay latched closed. There is no webcam per the specs. I stopped testing it after i saw that.

The Metropolitan Police Department ordered every police station in Tokyo on Thursday to be on full alert against terrorist attacks against the French Embassy and other such facilities in the capital.
The high alert comes in the wake of a terror attack in Paris on Wednesday, when masked gunmen killed 12 people at the office of a satirical weekly.
According to the police, there are between 10 and 20 places in Tokyo that are at risk, including the French Embassy in Minato Ward and the Tokyo branch of major French news agency Agence France-Presse in Chuo Ward.
Tokyo police have long had a presence at large public facilities, such as train stations and airports.
However, every Tokyo police station has been told to boost security, including increasing patrols, since the attack in Paris.

I'm looking for a radiator to fit a "Track T "style street rod... big engine , very little nose area to cram a radiator in ! Anyone have any experence on one? or know of a possible fit?
I understand the dilemna with the small nose track-t's. What you should do is go to a larger tube width inside the radiator, say 2 rows of 1.25" tubes. You will not find lrager tube radiators in copper/brass. They will be aluminum. And to have one fit your car, you will definetely have to have one custom made. I have friends who have had custom radiators made for their car from Evans.Maybe give them a call and talk to Dave.

Among today's elderly, the great majority will receive more in Medicare benefits than they ever paid in taxes - dependency again.
And, dare I ask, do his horrifying sex scenes draw as directly from experience as his depictions of drug use and dependency?
They went out of their way to tell me how such programs "breed" complacency, laziness, and—wait for it—dependency.
As dependency on D.C. wells from the bottom up, it grows ever more fashionable from the top down.
So the dependency story is strange and uneven, and especially nasty when it comes to women.
Down to 1814 Norway was politically and culturally a dependency of Denmark.
In 1844 the place was declared to be a dependency of Cape Colony.
The child has not yet won any achievement, save the loving assertion of its own dependency.
Can the emperor grant it to a dependency, and withhold it from the body of his people?
The visit to this ancient Portuguese dependency was not prolonged and the incidents of importance were few.
