Responsiveness of voltage-gated calcium channels in SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cells on quasi-three-dimensional micropatterns formed with poly (l-lactic acid)
Date of this Version
Document Type
In this study, quasi-three-dimensional (3D) microwell patterns were fabricated with poly (l-lactic acid) for the development of cell-based assays, targeting voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCCs).
Methods and materials:
SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cells were interfaced with the microwell patterns and found to grow as two dimensional (2D), 3D, and near two dimensional (N2D), categorized on the basis of the cells' location in the pattern. The capability of the microwell patterns to support 3D cell growth was evaluated in terms of the percentage of the cells in each growth category. Cell spreading was analyzed in terms of projection areas under light microscopy. SH-SY5Y cells' VGCC responsiveness was evaluated with confocal microscopy and a calcium fluorescent indicator, Calcium GreenTM-1. The expression of L-type calcium channels was evaluated using immunofluorescence staining with DM-BODIPY.
It was found that cells within the microwells, either N2D or 3D, showed more rounded shapes and less projection areas than 2D cells on flat poly (l-lactic acid) substrates. Also, cells in microwells showed a significantly lower VGCC responsiveness than cells on flat substrates, in terms of both response magnitudes and percentages of responsive cells, upon depolarization with 50 mM K+. This lower VGCC responsiveness could not be explained by the difference in L-type calcium channel expression. For the two patterns addressed in this study, N2D cells consistently exhibited an intermediate value of either projection areas or VGCC responsiveness between those for 2D and 3D cells, suggesting a correlative relation between cell morphology and VGCC responsiveness.
These results suggest that the pattern structure and therefore the cell growth characteristics were critical factors in determining cell VGCC responsiveness and thus provide an approach for engineering cell functionality in cell-based assay systems and tissue engineering scaffolds.

The transport ministry had renewed the contract of Riteve SyC S.A., the firm that provides the vehicle inspections.
The Ministerio de Obras Públicas y Transportes said that the firm has not had a single complaint for failing to fulfill its contract. In addition, the state will take over the company's$25 million in property and machinery at the end of the 10-year extension.
There have been calls to allow other firms offer the same services. But the transport ministry said that not having an interruption in inspections was in the country's best interest. In addition, it said some 500 families depend on a member having a job with Riteve.
The company will allow its rates to be fixed by the country's regulating agency instead of by the ministry. The company had complained that it was not getting sufficient return. Some motorists claimed their vehicles were being rejected initially so that Riteve could collect a reinspection fee.
The company also agreed to build permanent facilities in some of the areas where motorists are now serviced by a mobil inspection facility.

Congratulations to Ankit and Milie on their wedding day today. These two love birds married at the Hanover Marriott in NJ late this afternoon. The sun made way to party cloudy skies which cooled down the outside venue where the ceremony took place.
Today I performed a fun Halloween wedding held at the Mountainview restaurant in Clifton, NJ. Most of the guests dressed up in funny Halloween costumes and their decorations for their lunch tables consisted of skeletons, back birds, black netting and black candles. The bride and groom even brought masks to wear for their reception.
Congratulations to Brian and Anna Andres on their wedding day today. Although the weather at the Wyckoff Sanctuary was cold, windy and raining, by the time the wedding began, the sun came out and the winds died down. I even joked with the groom telling him that it would be nice to see some deer some out today and long and behold, a whole group of deer surfaced. It was the perfect autumn day to get married as the colored leaves decorated the entire place with white swans gently floating through their pond area.
Congratulations to Robyn and Paul Vogel this morning on their wedding which was held at Perona Farms in Andover, NJ.
Yesterday evening, I performed a wedding ceremony for Jenna & Brad Domenico which was held at the Rockleigh Country Club in Rockleigh, NJ. This was the third wedding that I performed at this country club and I must say that their food at the cocktail hour never disappoints me. As a matter of fact, they have the best cocktail foods that I have been to. The place is magnificent with its outdoor beautiful water pool with fountains.
Last evening I performed a beautiful wedding ceremony for Lindsey and Kevin Crean at the Brownstone in Patterson, NJ. Many NJ people have heard of the Brownstone as the owner/wife of the venue place can be seen on the famous TV show Housewives of NJ. The cocktail hour was terrific with their specialty meat items that they are known for such as Roasted Pig, London Broil and many other items that were quite delicious. The place has many banquet rooms and caters to many social functions there.
Yesterday, I performed a beautiful wedding ceremony over the the Skyview Golf Club located in Sparta, NJ. Although they had no cocktail hour, the reception area was quite lovely with its decorated gardens and lush green landscaping.
Congratulations to Jason and Courtney Cole on their wedding day held at the Basking Ridge Country Club.
This afternoon, I performed a wedding ceremony for Frank and Jennifer Dunne held in a barn at the Perona Farms in Andover, NJ. If anybody is looking to have an autumn or rustic type of wedding, they should consider having their wedding at this venue place. Perona Farms also has a beautiful banquet hall right across the street from their barn area. They also have a lovely lake surrounded by lots of trees and woods.

In order to qualify for a reverse mortgage, known as a Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM), must owners have free and clear ownership of their home?
No. But they must be able to pay off any balances with the proceeds of a reverse mortgage in order to qualify. A borrower with an outstanding mortgage balance of $50,000, for example, will be required to use $50,000 from a $200,000 HECM to retire the mortgage before accepting the $150,000 balance.
Are there foreclosures with HECMs?
While foreclosures on HECM mortgages are relatively rare, it can happen if homeowners fail to maintain their property or pay their homeowners insurance and their property taxes on time. It can also happen if the homeowners vacate the property.
How much can you borrow with an HECM?
Applicants cannot receive an HECM for the entire home value. The actual maximum loan amount is calculated based on interest rates, the value of the home, how owners choose to receive the proceeds and the youngest borrower's age. HUD has a chart incorporating these factors and comes up with a principal limit factor, or PLF. For example, the PLF for someone who is 75 years old borrowing at a 4.25 percent interest rate is .614. That means a homeowner with property worth $300,000 can borrow up to $184,200. If a borrower is married, the loan amount is calculated using the age of the younger spouse, even if he or she is not listed as a borrower or on the home's title. This is to keep younger spouses from being evicted if the borrowing spouse dies.
Read more about how much you can borrow.
Are HECMs expensive? Isn't the mortgage insurance pricey?
Fees for HECM loans are regulated by the government, and the mortgage interest rates are comparable to those of traditional or "forward" mortgages. However, over time, HECM balances generally increase, because the borrowers don't make monthly payments to reduce them. Over time, homeowners pay interest on the interest. HECMs are backed by the government, and HUD assesses an upfront premium of .5 percent, which can be deducted from the available proceeds of the loan. In addition, borrowers pay an annual mortgage insurance premium of 1.25 percent of the loan amount.
Are there fixed-interest rate HECMs?
FHA HECM allow for fixed-interest rates, but only for owners who take a lump-sum payout of HECM proceeds. Consumers who take a line of credit or select the monthly payment option will have to take an adjustable rate. In addition, the amount of loan proceeds you can access during the first 12 months after closing is limited to 60 percent of the maximum loan amount. For example, if you are eligible for a $200,000 reverse mortgage, you may only access $120,000 at first. At the beginning of the thirteenth month, you may access as much or as little of the remaining loan proceeds as you wish.
Are there HECMs available for manufactured homes, duplexes and condos?
So long as the manufactured home, condo, or multi-unit properties up to four units meet FHA guidelines, they may be used as collateral for an HECM. For properties that do not conform to requirements for federally backed loans, investors and private lenders offer reverse mortgages with their own qualifying guidelines.
What happens if the title holder must go into a hospital or nursing home?
Borrowers who leave their homes for 12 months or longer are required to pay off their HECMs. However, for loans originated since August 4, 2014, a non-borrowing spouse is not evicted from the home even if the borrowing spouse enters long-term care.
Under an HECM, can the property still be passed on to designated heirs?
An HECM becomes due when the last borrower dies. If the loan balance is less than the property value, heirs can sell the house, pay off the loan and keep the proceeds, or they can keep the property by paying off the loan or refinancing it. If the balance of the loan exceeds the home's value, heirs can purchase it for 95 percent of its value.
Read more about estate planning.
Can title-holders with a recent foreclosure or bankruptcy secure a HECM loan?
Applicants may not have an open bankruptcy in progress that has not been discharged. Otherwise, HECM lenders won't deny financing to people with bad credit or low income because monthly payments are not required. Recent changes to HECM rules make it mandatory that borrowers undergo a financial assessment to make sure they will pay their property taxes, insurance and home maintenance charges. Those who don't pass this assessment will have funds withheld from their loan proceeds to cover these expenses.
Are consumers required to undergo HECM counseling?
Yes. An in-person or telephone session with a HUD-qualified reverse mortgage counselor is required as part of the HECM application process. Applicants are advised of the features and benefits of a reverse mortgage given their personal health and financial conditions. They are taught about the additional housing and services available to them and cheaper alternatives to HECMs.

Whether you're looking to get a small gift for a woman in your family or just a friend, $10 is not a lot of money to work with. However, you can stretch every dollar and still show you care if you get creative with your ideas. Women typically care more about the thought behind the gift, which helps when you have a tight budget. Think small but classy when you're browsing for that perfect $10 item.
Burt's Bees
Burt's Bees is a cosmetic brand that specializes in all-natural grooming products such as shampoo, lotion and lip balm. While some products have a hefty price tag, small gift kits are available for $10 and under as well. These items are especially fitting if your gift receiver has sensitive skin or allergies to products with harsh chemicals. The best part about the Burt's Bees line is it's typically sold at local drug stores, making it easy to pick up in a hurry.
Gift Card
Typically, an unwritten rules of gift card giving is to put an ample amount of cash on the card for the recipient to splurge with. However, there are several types of vendors where small amounts are perfectly acceptable. If your family member or friend is a coffee drinker, she will appreciate $10 to spend at Starbucks or Dunkin' Donuts. Ice cream parlors, fast food restaurants and big-box retail stores are all options. The important part is knowing what she likes and where she frequents.
Jewelry doesn't always have to be expensive for a woman to want to wear it. Look at the jewelry section of stores such as Target or Walmart for a pair of earrings or a casual necklace for under $10. Be mindful of the labels--make sure the jewelry says "nickel-free" or "for sensitive ears" to avoid turning the woman's finger green or causing an allergic reaction. There's nothing wrong with diamonds, but there's also nothing wrong with a set of casual earrings that a girl can wear every day.

when faces called flowers float out of the ground
and breathing is wishing and wishing is having—
but keeping is downward and doubting and never
—it's april(yes,april;my darling)it's spring!
yes the pretty birds frolic as spry as can fly
yes the little fish gambol as glad as can be
(yes the mountains are dancing together)
when every leaf opens without any sound
and wishing is having and having is giving—
but keeping is doting and nothing and nonsense
—alive;we're alive,dear:it's(kiss me now)spring!
now the pretty birds hover so she and so he
now the little fish quiver so you and so i
(now the mountains are dancing,the mountains)
when more than was lost has been found has been found
and having is giving and giving is living—
but keeping is darkness and winter and cringing
—it's spring(all our night becomes day)o,it's spring!
all the pretty birds dive to the heart of the sky
all the little fish climb through the mind of the sea
(all the mountains are dancing;are dancing)

Injust Spring
in this
spring when the sky is mud-
colored the raindrops
mute the shrill of
dogwhistles far and wide
where Patsy and Dick go
running to cheer for acts of
piracy perpetrated on their unwitting selves
by one who has lost his marbles
and this spring
when the world is muddled and awful
the queer
are hiding in the middle of the crowds
of women who have gathered to protect them
their children dancing
and hopping and hoping but
this spring
a club-horned goat foots it
across the hushed and verdant plains
between sea and lake
bleating terse epistles

A Letter To NPR
Listening to Scott Simon's interview of Mitch Albom this morning, in which the 2016 election was discussed, made me remember that even NPR, long held up by the far right as the bleeding-heart liberal socialist commie bandwidth of the radio dial, can suffer the same biases and lack of balance as the right-wing radio shows that most NPR listeners love to mock. The indiscriminate lumping of Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump in the same "today's politicians, amirite?" category by both the guest (explicitly) and the host (implicitly) made my stomach hurt, as it was so emblematic of just how unbalanced the coverage of this campaign has been, and how casually this imbalance has been accepted and normalized.
Scott Simon's question, in brief: Are there concerns that you feel have not been raised during the campaign?
Mitch Albom: "Where do you begin? I think every major concern has been overlooked in deference to tawdry things and comments and who said what on a TV show or an open mic or a snippy remark in a debate. To raise one, and it would just be one, I haven't heard a word about education in this entire election season. Every now and then you hear Hillary Clinton talk about about a plan for colleges and that's about it. Being here in Detroit, our public education in this city is - it's shocking and the oversight of it and the oversight of the teachers and the funding is nonexistent. And the priority that's put on it is so low ..."
Then Mr. Albom talks about the fact that education isn't sexy, so it doesn't get coverage, but that literacy and learning to read is the true key to success in school and life in general. He advocates for free community college, and for more emphasis on early education, and early literacy education in particular. All this could still have been a commentary on the state of today's media.
On how the media have provided Trump, who rarely speaks about policy at all, much less education policy, with essentially an open mic, only recently beginning to fact-check and call out his lies instead of just letting him spew out over their airwaves.
On how at the same time the media have not bothered to cover Clinton's public policy speeches for the last two or three years, but instead have devoted 24/7 coverage to the repeatedly debunked email "scandal" or rumors of her health or whether she smiles too much or doesn't smile enough, despite the fact that Hillary Clinton actually has been discussing the topic of education for several decades and has detailed policy proposals on her current campaign website.
Since that's in fact what has been going on, I first agreed with Mr. Albom, assuming he was only speaking about the poor job the news outlets have been doing in making education a topic of conversation in this campaign. However, Mr. Albom then revealed that he himself must be paying attention only to what is being broadcast on those media outlets he's complaining about, since a simple Google search for "Hillary Clinton education plan" brings up a wide range of articles on both her current stance and her history on this issue. Either that, or Mr. Albom is a Hillary Hater. How else do you explain his answer to the follow-up question?
Scott Simon's question, in brief: Any last words on any of the various presidential candidates?
MA: "I have not been more disappointed in a pair of candidates in my adult life. You know, I'm very lucky, Scott, I get to travel around and I meet a lot of people and – I can't tell you how many times, and gosh, in your job, you have to do this too – how many times you have a conversation with somebody, and after they leave you go, 'wow, what an impressive person, what an incredible set of values, leadership, accomplishment, whatever' – and none of these people ever end up running for president."
He explains this phenomenon by saying that we have created a system where only thick-skinned people like rampant egotists or lifelong politicians will ever run, because these other more virtuous people he's been meeting are so smart they realize that if they run for office the media will rip their lives apart in the search for sensationalism, and "all of a sudden 50 or 60 years of hard work and accomplishment go out the window, and so what I have to say about these two candidates is summed up in a sentence that probably many people utter: 'This is the best we can do?'"
How can he believe that Clinton is just like Trump? If he doesn't believe that, why did he say these things?
Does he literally not know anything about Hillary Clinton, former Secretary of State, former Senator, who has an incredible set of values, who shows true and collaborative leadership, and who has a history of accomplishment that more than equals Mr. Albom's? I would think that his philanthropic soul should at least be drawn to her work with the Clinton Foundation.
President Obama, who is one of the most accomplished and capable people to hold that office, made his opinion clear at the 2016 Democratic National Convention: "I can say with confidence there has never been a man or a woman more qualified than Hillary Clinton to serve as President of the United States of America." Perhaps Mr. Albom missed the media coverage of that event.
Scott Simon definitely missed the opportunity for clarification with regards to whether the first quote above was meant as "the media are not covering education enough" (true) or as "neither candidate is talking about education" (false). If Mr. Albom truly believes that neither candidate has been talking about education, then he just hasn't been paying attention. But because he so casually lumped Hillary Clinton – and by reference her history as an advocate for children, for education, for women's rights, for universal health care, and more – with Donald Trump, whose lack of values, accomplishments, or qualifications on any level should make this not even a topic of conversation, I'm going for "Hillary Hater."
This is the first time I've written to NPR on this topic, though it's not the first time I've yelled at the radio when a host has not followed up on statements that leave the impression of something that is demonstrably not true. But to have a guest essentially say "Trump and Clinton are equally unqualified to be president" and an NPR host not say "are you REALLY saying that? because it's not true at all, you know" doesn't mean NPR is being "fair and balanced" to me, because that unfair statement was not balanced by Scott Simon's questioning of its veracity.
I'm interested in hearing the other sides of the story, and wish I could talk directly with both men about values, radio production, interview strategies, and education. Since that's not likely, I'll keep listening, and keep writing letters.

What brought this country to a point where so many people admire one man's openly admitted lawlessness and dishonesty in pursuit of his individual gain, no matter the cost to others?
That's the sentence that started what was going to be a medium-length Facebook post to follow up an article I linked to that referenced how Trump supporters seem to be incapable of criticizing him; when provided with made-up examples of things like writing off a white Siberian tiger for Putin's birthday as a "business expense," they instead list their own reasons why such tax-evasion schemes are actually good things.
"I'm a selfish person and much of my time and money goes towards pursuing my own goals and desires," that Facebook post would have gone on to say, "though I like to think that I'm getting better at not having this create a negative impact on the people around me." I would also have added (in an increasingly moralizing tone, I'm sorry to say) that at least I'm always aware that I am part of a larger society, and have a role and responsibility towards it, and ... and then I realized that I, too, have avoided taxes in the past (the IRS don't read blogs, do they?) and justified it in various ways. I, too, have expressed biased and even racist views, often those I'm not conscious of within myself at first, others that I've recognized and continue to struggle with. For example, I'd automatically assume the author of the linked piece, who describes himself as "a Southern white male veteran who lives in a very rural area," is a Trump supporter, or at least embodies some of their characteristics, just because of that description. Instead, he subjects those supporters to some trenchant castigation, and I'm once again left facing my assumptions, and questioning why they're there. It's true that when you see the clumps and colors on any demographic map, "southern white male veteran rural dweller" does tend to tick all the Trump-supporter boxes, but that's no excuse for my looking at those words and assuming that any individual person does.
There are many other words today defining the ways that we categorize and describe ourselves, some of which weren't part of the language when I was growing up. Agnostic. Republican. Feminist. Catholic. Vegetarian. Latin@. Gun owner, PETA supporter, single, married, transgender, genderqueer, male, female, other. Other. And that's really what it boils down to, isn't it? "Othering," another word that's younger than I am.
So much of what shapes our ability to be honest occurs long before we are capable of this kind of self-reflection [Ed. Note. Or perhaps it's just that I'm coming late to the party, and this is a realization that usually happens in one's twenties or thirties. I wouldn't be surprised.] and gets normalized and buried in the mental category of "just the way things are." Some things in this category can't be changed: I'm white and female and over 50. What can be changed are attitudes like "... and therefore superior to non-white people" or "... and therefore should behave in a certain way" or "... and therefore must believe what this other over-50 white female believes," all of which I would resent were they assumed about me. If I am honest with myself, I will be watching for these inbred instincts and consciously working to get rid of them, to retrain and reshape the paths in my brain that click in those specific neural patterns when presented with a certain image or idea. There have been times in the last few months when I've found myself spontaneously quoting scripture, of all things (not always the Bible, but usually), as the random access database that is my brain spits out what it thinks to be information relevant in the moment. If all of that and more is in there, and comes out of my mouth without prompting, what other learned language and behaviours am I demonstrating without realizing it, every single day?
Who's defining the word "honest" these days? Here's what Merriam-Webster says: free from fraud or deception; reputable, respectable; creditable, marked by integrity, marked by free, forthright, and sincere expression. In other words, someone you can believe in. If I'm not honest with myself (and others), how can I believe in myself? If I can't trust that other people are being honest with me, then I find it harder to believe in them. At the least, I will give them the benefit of the doubt, but it will color every interaction from then on. And I am sure that other people have come to that conclusion about me in the past, which is one reason that it's something I'm thinking about now, and working on improving. Yet there has been a new definition added in recent years, where "speaking your mind" and "telling it how it is" now mean "being honest with your listeners" even when the mind of the speaker is filled with hatred and bigotry and a terribly warped view of a fearful pseudo-reality and the purpose of the telling is to incite even more hate and bigotry and fear in those listeners.
If someone honestly believes a lie, and tries as hard as they can to convince others of the truth of that lie, are they a liar? That's different from someone who is desperately trying to convince themselves of a lie, and who needs everyone else to believe that lie so that they can be validated in believing it too. Or who just doesn't give a damn about the truth, and lies with impunity because they can and it's getting them what they want, or because it amuses them to lie to others and manipulate them.
What I do not understand is how a person can look at the well-documented history of Donald Trump's lies, including lying about the fact that he lied when the contradictory lies were both caught on tape [Ed. Note. There's another blog post in that somewhere, about English expressions that are still being used, but no longer have physical cultural connections to the things those words represent.], and still use the word "honest" to describe him. And if they can't use that word, why is "honesty" no longer on their list of important qualifications for the presidency?
Finally [Ed. Note. Thank god.], what responsibility is placed on the listener? It's just as important to listen honestly as it is to speak honestly, and we do so little of that in our lives, unless we're called by vocation or profession to do so. To simply listen to what people are saying, and then to try to hear both what they are saying out loud and what they are saying with their body, their intonation, their phrasing, their choice of words. To work through what was said, with the other person, until both sides have a clear understanding of exactly what is being communicated. This is not necessarily agreement with what was said, but agreement on what was said. But it's irresponsible to listen and believe something without questioning it, especially when it comes to politics instead of personal relationships. This is also why I do not understand how a person can look at all of the well-documented history of Hillary Clinton's honesty and discard it in favor of the rumors/lies about her without also questioning their own motivation and their reasons for doing so. "Well, I just don't trust her," that person will often say. Why? And if their answers to that question are things that I can refute with the equally well-documented proof that the specific rumor/lie is indeed just a rumor/lie, and they're only left with their "gut feeling" then there's something at work here other than the question of honesty, in my opinion, something in that person that's probably manifesting itself in other gut-level feelings like fear and unhappiness and worry about the future, all of which are playing into the hands of a person who's promising to solve all of their problems, starting by getting rid of all of those "others" who are causing them.
What brought this country to a point where so many people admire one man's openly admitted lawlessness and dishonesty in pursuit of his individual gain, no matter the cost to others - and we, as a country, are only now getting around to talking about it seriously, rather than mocking it? This is a problem that will not go away by itself after November, and it's something that America needs to address as part of who we are as a society, and how we want that society to look in the future.
How do you define honesty?

You Can't Take This Guy From Me
It's hard to believe sometimes, but 21 years have now gone by since my nephew Morgan made his début on this plane of existence. A few days ago he successfully defended his thesis in some arcane aspect of mathematics/computer science theory, a few days from now we'll have sushi for lunch together, and then he'll dress up as the God of Calamity and take part in Seattle's Sakura-Con with his friends Kyle, Alex, Callie, and Allison, all of whom I had the pleasure of meeting last month in Corvallis. I don't see Morgan as much as I used to when he was younger, when I used to take him out for sushi - wasabi is best introduced to a child before he reaches the age of 3, I find - or some other ethnic cuisine, or we'd go play silly nickel games at Wunderland, or just hang out and play word games or mess around in the kitchen. I'm looking forward to doing more of that over the next year while he's finishing his accelerated Master's program at Oregon State and before he heads out for PhD work at whatever university is lucky enough to get him on their roster, ready to spend his days pondering chaos theory. Ganbatte kudasai Mr. M - I love you. Happy birthday and many more!

Soap Smooth (formerly Seifenglatt) has had an interesting and "moving" history in the artisan soap world. Initially, their Seifenglatt brand was intended to bring handcrafted goodness at reasonable prices to the European market. When regulations made that unsustainable, they brought the business home to the US. Now we get the benefit of a family-owned and operated company with standout soaps. Soap Smooth Bordeaux Shaving Soap is their unscented offering.
Like all of their soaps, this one is vegan-based but provides a slick, smooth glide of the blade. It also has coconut oil to hydrate and nourish your skin. Unlike other products which require an additional mug, bowl, or similar lathering vessels, this soap lathers right in the roomy tub. The high sides make it possible to work up an exceptional lather even with a large brush. New to the wet shaving gig or long time aficionado, you can appreciate the smooth shave you get with this grooming essential.
Although, they are know for a myriad of interesting, complex, unique scents, the Bordeaux version is unscented. Perfect for sensitive skin, it contains no extra essential oils or fragrance oils. There isn't even a soapy scent to it.
Come home to handcrafted goodness, come home to Soap Smooth Bordeaux.
Size: 6oz
Made in the USA
Ingredients: Stearic Acid, Water, Coconut Oil, Potassium Hydroxide, Glycerin.

Is a Dubai property bargain always a win?
Keep an eye out for opportunities to buy early into a neighbourhood on the up, instead of just going after a cheap property.

When people ask me "How is the market doing?" I often ask them "which market?" Because there are always multiple markets within each city. There are areas each with distinct price ranges, styles of property, facilities, transportation links, proximity to lifestyle amenities and unique advantages.
Like the rest of the world, Dubai's real estate market was knocked around post the downturn. However, today, house prices in the city have stormed ahead of some of the world's biggest property markets such as Hong Kong and London.
With property investors re-entering and adding to the market's momentum, the question today has shifted from "should I buy property?" to "what should I buy?" Homebuyers always want the best possible value for their money, so it is tempting for investors to assume that the best way to achieve this is to keep an eye out for and eventually snap a bargain — a property that is priced at a much lower level than the current market value. In this hunt for bargain properties, buyers sometimes lose sight of what real value actually entails.
My suggestion is, don't just look for bargains, because bargains are usually properties that are cheap because no one wants to buy them. As the market continues its upswing, it will be wise to look for a fair market value property that comes with capital growth opportunities and telltale signs of future price growth instead of just a low price.
We all know that Downtown is a great community to buy in, but what is the next Downtown for Dubai? As you explore neighbourhoods, have a look at the areas in the vicinity. Which neighbourhoods have the earmarks of a great capital growth area? See where the trendy new cafés, retail outlets and shopping avenues are starting to move in. Ask what areas are proximal to shops, transport and schools and are going to benefit from infrastructure that's about to be put built into the city. Is there going to be a new transportation link or a new roadway that might make an area better or more accessible to the city centre? Find out what is happening in these areas. Are they industrial but becoming more residential? Or do they seem like they will remain heavy industrial districts? Is there a development in a popular community that will spark interest in a nearby and an up-and-coming suburb? So, get out there, drive around, speak to different buyers and do your due diligence. If you want to know what real value is, then doing your groundwork is extremely important.
Sometimes, properties situated on the fringe of prized real estate patches may hold rewarding capital gain prospects because price ripples from top-end properties can drive up the value of real estate in neighbouring districts. Huge infrastructure or development projects can also benefit bordering areas. Over the past few years, Dubai has seen the launch of a wide range of new developments, both big and small. Not only do these projects include homes in prestigious neighbourhoods and on glitzy waterfronts, they also include properties in the city's up-and-coming locations and potential growth areas — districts that haven't quite had the polish put on them yet but where new transport links are providing more mobility — and where prices have not yet reached their full potential. This means rewards for early bird buyers who can foresee changes to come and benefit from future price rises. Potential hotspots in Dubai tipped to experience an upward price march could include Dubai Sports City, which is only a twenty minute drive to Dubai Marina and Media City, is equipped with community centers, banks, restaurants and international schools and is also 40 per cent less expensive than buying in a popular area such as the Marina.
So, keep an eye out for opportunities to buy early into a neighbourhood on the up, instead of just going after a cheap property. If you decide to embrace a new frontier, then you need to be patient to receive the full benefits of investing in a neighbourhood that may be less expensive and not so fashionable today, but possibly solid, hip and more expensive in a few years.

Tissue explant co‐culture model of the hypothalamic‐pituitary‐gonadal‐liver axis of the fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas) as a predictive tool for endocrine disruption
Endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) can impact the reproductive system by interfering with the hypothalamic‐pituitary‐gonadal (HPG) axis. While in vitro testing methods have been developed to screen chemicals for endocrine disruption, extrapolation of in vitro response to in vivo action shows inconsistent accuracy. We describe here our tissue co‐culture of the fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas) HPG axis and liver (HPG‐L) as a tissue explant model that mimics in vivo results. Brain (hypothalamus), pituitary, gonad, and liver tissue explants from adult fish were examined for function both individually and in co‐culture to determine combinations and conditions that could replicate in vivo behavior. Only co‐cultures had the ability to respond to an EDC, trenbolone, similarly to in vivo studies, based upon estradiol, testosterone, and vitellogenin production trends, where lower exposure doses suppressed hormone production but higher doses increased production resulting in distinctive U‐shaped curves. These data suggest that a co‐culture system with all components of the HPG‐L axis can be used as a link between in vitro and in vivo studies to predict endocrine system disruption in whole organisms. This tissue based HPG‐L system acts as a flexible deconstructed version of the in vivo system for better control and examination of the minute changes in system operation and response upon EDC exposure with options to isolate, interrogate, and recombine desired components.

About HouseLark
Hedge Knight
I'm guessing Blood Raven foresaw the need for Bran to have a guardian at some point and choosing someone he would instinctively trust rather than Third Nights Watchman from the left would make things easier.
There's also a very good chance we don't know the full story about the creation of the Others just yet. We saw a few seconds of it on screen. Presumably, the White Walker super weapon the COTF created was under their control for some time but like the Terminators, they exceeded their programming at some point. Benjen may simply be what the COTF were trying to create in the first place.
HouseLark replied to Only Fire and Blood?'s topic in The Winds of WinterMaybe D&D just cut out a step. In the books Stannis could still lose but not be routed as he is on the show. He could make it back to Castle Black, woefully depleted in resources and men. This could be the desperate point at which he chooses to sacrifice Shireen. Ooooooorrrrrr... Martin may have changed his mind about the sacrifice of Shireen. You never know. Marting plotted these books in advance but once you start writing you go where the characters seem to be taking you. This is why I don't care if the show "spoils" the books: I love reading around Martin's world and even take a perverse joy in the lists of food. It doesn't matter if I know the major stops on the way to the end of ASOIF, I can enjoy the ride just as much. I mean, I read Lord of the Rings every 2-3 years and love it very time.
HouseLark replied to Ran's topic in E10: Mother's MercyJon will be back by episode two. The cast and producers are doubling down to sell the "death" because they need to try and maintain some thread of drama to it. But think about it: in what way does Jon's death at this point make any narrative sense? By the end of the series is Jon Snow's role really going to be limited to that of a POV so we can see what's going on at the Wall and in the lands beyond? He's on a classic hero's journey and right now we're at the end of the Empire Strikes Back. Can the show leave Jon aside for a season? Not in my view. The show has ramped up the threat from the Others and it was taken up a notch this season. We need to see action there in order to see the threat start to knock on the door of Westeros and the only characters at the Wall with any standing are Mel and Davos, secondary characters. Essentially, next season is going to be about Dany resolving the situation in Meereen and then making her way in Westeros, and the realm slowly seeing that there is a threat from Beyond the Wall. For the series to wrap up in season 7 we pretty much need to Others to be ready to marching on the Wall by the end of season 6. Plus, I suspect that season 7 will be primarily about the war against the Others (which I do expect to be a war rather than one epic Helm's Deep style battle, expect defeat, despair, turning the tide, etc) so a lot of dangling plot threads will need to be resolved next season. They could still retain the mystery surrounding Jon if they can keep Castle Black a closed set but I expect to see reports of Harrington spotted on set by the end of this year.
HouseLark replied to Ran's topic in E04: And Now His Watch is EndedIt's pointless to even try and review this episode after that final scene, all I can think of is: Fire and Blood
I thought it was a nice touch for Maester Luwin to tell Bran and Rickon to go to Jon. It was just a nice nod from an honest and wise man that Jon was a person who could offer the boys protection. It also demonstrates that decent people like Luwin see a person's true worth and don't just judge them for being a bastard.
The thing is, the dead soldier (it's a king on the book) with a wolf's head has only one interpretation: the Starks are set to lose the war. And the sword in the back is rather famously a symbol of betrayal. It's too heavy handed for the screen. The Rhaegar vision is something I'm uncertain about. I have said elsewhere that I wonder how many people genuinely think that the absence of this is detrimental to the story or did they really, really, really just want to see Rhaegar depicted on screen? I will concede that it would have been nice to have someone telling Dany of the "threes" (3 treasons, dragon has 3 heads, etc).
As a standalone episode I thought this was excellent. There are problems of course but that's the same with everything. The big postives for me were finally something satisfying happening in Dany's storyline and the ending at the Fist of the First Men which was just brilliant. Dany's storyline has been poor this season, suffering from the writer's desire to have Emilia Clarke on screen more than she would be if they followed the book. But the House of the Undying worked very well for me. I know fans are disappointed with the lack of "visions" but how many can you put on screen without ruining future seasons? What they did worked well because it alluded to the past and future, of what could be and what might have been, showing Dany glories and tragedies. It served to emphasise the point that the future is uncertain (e.g. showing Drogo with Rhaego which obviously never came to pass). This is a good counterpoint to Melisandre's certainty about her visions which leaves viewers with the question: is the future already written as Mel believes or is it uncertain as suggested by Dany's visions? If I have to nitpick here, I'd say that since they wrote Dany a vision at the Wall then they might as well have had a close up of a Blue Rose, seems like a simple opportunity missed that would have had purists wetting themselves. Shifting 3 Blasts from the ASOS prologue to Season Two was a great cliffhanger and now I can't wait for Season Three - pryaing for Neil Taylor to be given directorial duties on the battle at the Fist. On Jon, I'm on the side that likes how this ended but I would like to have seen some more realisation from Jon that what he was doing was necessary, or at least what Qhorin wanted. I like that it looked like it was done in anger but it's stretching audience credulity a bit to ask to accept that Jon new what Qhorin's plan was, especially when Jon has been depicted as a bit slow on the uptake so far. Also, this would be a big decision for Jon, a huge moral dilemma; it would have been good to see him wrestle with that. The only major criticism I have is the burning of Winterfell. If you don't have a book reader friend to explain it will be hard to know what has happened there - who did it? Why? Why didn't Luwin say anything to Bran or Osha, such as: "be careful of some of the Northmen Bran, they just burned down your home"...? Still, very excited for next series. ACOK always feels like a bit of a transitory volume whenever I read it; it's just there to bridge the gap between AGOT and ASOS but it's not a middle act in a three act play, it's more of a bridge to the middle act. That's hard to adapt and kudos to the show creators for handling it well overall.
There's some callback to the beheading of Ser Rodrik here. If you recall it weakened Theon's character when he couldn't carry out the execution cleanly - it didn't just speak of his physical strength it also said that he wasn't ready to lead, his position was false. The gruesome scene in Blackwater told you about Stannis, his physical strength, his ability, and it alluded to his strength of character. Also, this was discussed in a scene from Spartacus: Vengeance earlier this year.
Definitely, it's an easter egg, nothing more. It's not much of a plot point anyway but those little nods to the book fans are nice. There's no way that any non-book reader would think of Renly at that point.
A visceral episode. Before airing I was concerned that there were no real stakes for viewers since Stannis' character has been underdeveloped. But three characters absolutely saved it: Tyrion, Sansa and the Hound. The stories of those three were so well done that they raised the stakes. Tyrion has always had a well-written story but Sansa and the Hound have been given scraps really. But with Blackwater both had solid emotional arcs and the actors both nailed it. The Hound was especially good, to see that fear of the flames and all his courage desert him was incredible. I know everyone is banging on about GRRM writing this episode and I don't buy the argument that the other writers aren't up to scratch. But GRRM "gets" Sansa and the Hound in a way that the other writers don't. I should add that I don't give a damn about the "SanSan" thing which I find irritating in the extreme. I believe that Sansa serves another purpose for the Hound, their joint story is not about any sort of relationship, but I won't go into that here, it's more of a book discussion. There's a few loose ends which will be cleared up next week (Tywin, Tyrell, Mandon Moore). It would have been great to have this as a two-hour season finale and when I watch this back on DVD in the future I'm sure that's how I'll view it. Excellent.
That's kind of harsh, it was a perfectly Arya-like thing to say, I don't think it reflects how the writers feel about women. But just o go back to the female characters; Yrgritte hasn't been a fighter so far. As I mentioned, she's been forthright and playful. Obviously she will become a fighter but she's also overtly sexual and passionate in the books. I also think that there's more to Margaery and Melisandre than scheming, both are most definitely passionate women. Where I might agree is that there aren't any examples of emotionally vulnerable women in the show, other than maybe a couple of scenes with Cersei (and of course Sansa). But then, the men tend to fall into a few defined categories or schemer, fighter, good leader, or cruel leader; only Jon Snow and Sam are providing anything different right now, and maybe Hodor for different reasons.
They've done well enough with Sansa, Melisandre and Margaery who do not fall into either category. Even Ygritte hasn't really been portrayed as a tomboy so far though I expect that she will further down the line. So far she has been fiery, playful and very feminine. The points you make about Cat are fair, I just don't think that it's accurate to generalize from that.
No he doesn't. If he did, he would have locked up this serving girl from the off just to satisfy a germ of a suspicion that she might be Arya Stark. He has figured out a lot and knows she's not a stonemason's daughter but as far as he is concerned, the Stark's are all accounted for. My guess is that it will dawn on him at one point, probably when he finally gets to King's Landing. Either that or there will be some action scene where Tywin finally hears of Arya's escape from KL just as she is going to make her escape from Harrenhall.
HouseLark replied to Ran's topic in E06: The Old Gods and the NewI expect Harrenhal to fall to the North in the next two episodes. Northmen will be captured next week leaving Arya to decide whether to use her third wish to kill Tywin or free her people.

Shape Activities for Toddlers
Shape sorting toys are an easy way to help teach shapes, also shape books and coloring pages are good ways to teach shapes.
Our favorite shape game is to go outside and use our driveway. I draw big shapes on the driveway and then will shout out a shape and the kids rush to stand on it.

iPhone Captures Top Smartphone Spot in the Enterprise According to New iPass Mobile Workforce ReportBusiness Smartphone Usage Climbs to 91 Percent of Mobile Employees -- Productivity and Sleepless Nights Set to Rise (November 15, 2011)
REDWOOD SHORES, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 11/16/11 -- iPass Inc. (NASDAQ: IPAS), a leading provider of mobility services for enterprises and service providers, today published its quarterly Mobile Workforce Report, which found that iPhone has unseated BlackBerry as the top smartphone among mobile employees with 45 percent market share, and overall business smartphone usage has increased to 91 percent.
The findings come as mobility in the workforce expands within enterprises and business smartphone usage rises. Today 95 percent of mobile employees have smartphones, up from 85 percent in 2010, with 91 percent using their smartphone for work -- a 26 percent rise compared to 2010. This is due in part to the adoption of "bring your own device" policies by enterprises. Currently 42 percent of mobile employees use individually-liable smartphones for work, up from 34 percent last year. The report also found that this expansion within enterprises has also reduced the median age of a mobile employee to 41 -- indicating that mobile employees are no longer only business travelers; they are every knowledge worker with a smartphone.
"Today's mobile employees are critical to the success of every enterprise, contributing 240 more work hours a year than their non-mobile counterparts. Connectivity is essential because work is no longer where you go but what you do," said Evan Kaplan, president and CEO of iPass. "While increasing iPhone usage in the workplace was inevitable, this is the tipping point when the iPhone has overcome the BlackBerry on its traditional enterprise turf, and business smartphones are in the hands of nearly every knowledge worker."
Smartphone Attachment
The Mobile Workforce Report also found the saturation of mobile devices has led to a hyperconnected workforce that is sacrificing sleep and exercise for their jobs. One in three mobile employees claimed that they sleep less due to work and one in four mobile employees sleeps less than six hours a night. More than half reported that they exercise erratically or not at all -- 60 percent attributed lack of exercise to work. The report also found that mobile employees are emotionally attached to their smartphones -- 59 percent would feel disoriented, distraught or lonely if they were without a smartphone for even a week.
Other findings include:
- Mobile employees waste only about 28 minutes on technology distractions. The top two most time consuming technology distractions are work-related -- first work email, second technical issues and third social media.
- BlackBerry market share declined slightly from 35 percent in 2010 to 32 percent today, while Android nearly doubled market share year over year, growing into the number three spot (surpassing Nokia/Symbian) with 21 percent market share.
- Tablet ownership has grown to 44 percent of mobile employees, up from 33 percent in second quarter of 2011.
- Mobile employees describe themselves as highly proficient when it comes to technology (69 percent), compared to 6 percent who rated themselves as fairly proficient or non-proficient. As a result the majority of mobile employees only contact IT as a last resort (81 percent).
About the Report
The iPass Mobile Workforce Report is published quarterly and based on a survey of more than 2,300 mobile enterprise employees at 1,100 enterprises worldwide between September 27 and October 26, 2011. The iPass Mobile Workforce Report can be found at http://mobile-workforce-project.ipass.com.

I've got some skin in this game. Age has always been just a number to me. I have no problem dating younger girls, but conversely, would have no problem dating older ones, either. You love who you love. Start putting up barricades and you could limit yourself right out of the best relationship in your life without even realizing it. It be like saying "I don't want to date black girls". Really? You'd shut out 13% of the the possibilities on a silly thing like race? I keep all my options open. But I'm very, very picky and very careful. I've been hurt, don't like that feeling. Trying to avoid that again.00|00|0

I've tried to commit to practicing on different areas of decorating cakes and cupcakes at least 4-6 hours per week, but I feel so guilty because my husband feels like I'm spending too much time in the kitchen and not enough with him. Now mind you, he won't lift a finger to help me do a thing so I can't include him. I've only been married since last November and I don't want him to feel neglected. Any suggestions on how I can make this work? He knows I really love baking but he's still a man and needs to be given that attention he wants. On weekends when he's working late I'm usually too tired to even do any baking. I know in order to get better and make a career out of this, I have to practice and gain more experience and skills. He knows this too, but he's a big baby sometimes. I love him to death though. Just needed to vent.
little red hen's advice:
no cake for you if you didn't help make it!
not to throw another log on the fire....but just wait until you have kids
It isn't easy to juggle many things at once and a marriage is hard work, no matter what anyone says. After being married for 8 years I actually like it when hubby goes out and I have the house to myself. Time management is difficult in life period, just do your best.
And I definitely agree with Doug....get him involved...throw ideas at him whether you use them or not is totally up to you anyway but then you guys are spending time together doing things you want as well.
I think it is healthy for couples to have some seperate interests.
What exactly does he want you to do in place of the time in the kitchen? I mean if he just wants to be near you and talk to you, then invite him into the kitchen to pull up a stool and you can talk while you work? If there are other things then maybe ya'll can work out a schedule, a date night of sorts. And when you want to do something in the kitchen, what about encouraging him to pick up a hobby to help occupy his time while you are doing that?
Why is it woman, as wives and/or mothers, feel quilty about spending a little time doing something for themselves to better themselves or even just to save their sanity?
i've experienced the same thing! i can really get caught up in hobby baking/decorating and reading CC that sometimes he feels left out. best thing i can figure is do your hobby while he's doing his or is out working late. i've had to dial back on a lot of projects because it's not feasible to upkeep those along with a relationship. i'm married to him, not my oven! don't get me wrong, DH is definitely supportive of my baking, but it can't take priority over my family.
rather than doing the actual baking cause that can take up so much time just practice on an empty cake pan or what ever. Then you can get your practice time in without all the baking in the first place. I don't know if this would work or not but I don't see why you couldn't even make your own cake dummys out of like a floral foam. Glue some blocks together then carve them to she shape you want. Like I said I don't know if that would work or even be cost effective for a dummy but my point is that you don't need the actual caketo practice on I would think you could cut out a huge amont of time that way.
That's great that you are so dedicated to learning new skills! I feel if your husband wants you to spend more time with him, though, you should. Of course you could see like TexasSugar said if he would hang out in the kitchen and talk there. Just don't expect any help and you won't be disappointed, LOL! Can you bake a big batch of cupcakes and/or small cakes and keep them in the freezer along with a few smaller bowls of frosting so you can practice the nights he is gone? Then all you would have to be would be to decorate, not bake & make frosting which is so time consuming. Hope you can work out a compromise that makes you both happy.

The final part in our behind the scenes videos for recording the prisoner on audio.
What exactly is Rover? Big Finish dare to ask her a few questions with terrifying results. ORANGE ALERT!
Based on the classic ITV series.
A limited edition of 3000 numbered box sets.
'A new imagining of The Prisoner, keeping true to the original concept, but bringing it up to date, even futuristic. Wonderful and compulsive listening.' Six of One (The Official Prisoner Appreciation Society)
'An enjoyable, quirky, fun, and entertaining re-imagining of the series… It feels in tune with the original series, but is different enough to be original at the same time.' The Unmutual (The Prisoner news website)
'I'm not a number. I'm a free man!'
January 16th, 1967...
A secret agent resigns, then wakes up to find himself imprisoned in 'The Village' — a bizarre community with a cheery veneer, but an underbelly of mystery and threat. All occupants of The Village have numbers instead of names, with our secret agent forced to accept the mantel of Number Six.
The authorities running this Village are intent on discovering why Number Six resigned — but it's a secret he steadfastly refuses to divulge. As the drama unfolds, the authorities, in the guise of the sinister Number Two, try ever more ingenious and aggressive means to bend Number Six to their will. All the while, Number Six is intent on two aims: to escape and to find out 'Who is Number One?'.
Episode One: Departure and Arrival
A failed meeting in Belgium catalyses Agent ZM-73 to resign from his top secret post, but when he wakes the following morning everything has changed — even his name. Trapped in a bizarre coastal village, and with his every move monitored by the mysterious Number Two, the man now known as Number Six struggles to make sense of it all.
Episode Two: The Schizoid Man
Six finds himself fascinated by a strange bond which has suddenly developed between himself and Number Nine. But the next morning, Six wakes to find himself changed. A moustache, different hair, and… a new name. Number Twelve.
Episode Three: Your Beautiful Village
Something is very wrong, as Six experiences the most disturbing sense deprivation. Almost complete darkness, filled with haunting sounds, fragments of conversations, and a desperate call from Nine start to test his reason.
Episode Four: The Chimes of Big Ben
A new prisoner arrives in The Village. The woman is strong-minded, independent, and refuses to accept her new number — Eight. She is not a number, she is Nadia. And Six is convinced that she is his ticket out of The Village.
This set contains four episodes (two 78-minute, feature-length and two hour-long episodes), a Behind-the-Scenes audio documentary, and a lavish colour booklet.

Now look at the padding in e.g. xen_v2s3_getdomaininfolistop: itdoesn't work on big-endian systems. This problem is why the GUEST_HANDLE infrastructure is present in Xen. To work on big-endian systems, libvirt will need this or a similar mechanism.
--- Current Questions ---We could now add several ugly ifdefs to libvirt code to differentiate powerpc from the others and solve the issue described above, but I think thats not a good solution. The GUEST_HANDLE mechanism would provide an architecture abstraction and is already implemented/working in libxc. The question is, shouldn't libvirt actually use the GUEST_HANDLE mechanism like libxc does (at least for the _v2d5_ structures) or are there big arguments against it? I would create a patch to add the GUEST_HANDLE stuff in libvirt if there is nothing against it, but I will need some help to test it on x86/x86_64/ia64 since I have no such machines here. If there is a major reason against the GUEST_HANDLE code, are there other suggestions/preferences how to solve this?
I had a look at the GUEST_HANDLE code in libxc (specifically arch-powerpc.h vs arch-x86_{32,64}.h) and it looks as if something like this should go into libvirt. I would just be careful about copying the code verbatim because libvirt & libxc are under slightly different licenses.
As for testing: we have no 64 bit PPC machines at all available for us to use that I'm aware of. We have plenty of i386 & x86-64, and one or two IA64 machines.

Taralee's Apricot Chicken
Recipe by akgrown
This is a family favorite that my sister makes. It's an easy, sweet and tangy, Asian inspired, dish. We love the sauce and chicken chunks over rice.
Top Review by Bobbie
Oh, this was good!!! Even though there are quite a few ingredients -- it was a snap to put together. I only used 4 chicken breasts (a couple were on the large side) and it was perfect. The sauce was wonderful. I think if I used much more chicken, I'd double the sauce ingredients (it's that yummy). I did cut up the apricot halves -- sort of sliced them into about 4 pieces each. We'll definitely be having this in the future!!!
