Probable C to U editing enzyme whose physiological substrate is not yet known. Additionally we are shipping APOBEC2 Antibodies (94) and many more products for this protein.
Showing 5 out of 6 products:
APOBEC2, a member of the cytidine deaminase (show CDA Proteins) family of DNA/RNA editing enzymes, is induced by TGFbeta (show TGFB1 Proteins) signaling, and that its activity is necessary to specify the left-right axis in Xenopus and zebrafish embryos.
Hepatocellular carcinoma developed in 2 of 20 APOBEC2 transgenic mice at 72 weeks of age.
Data show that APOBEC2 is preferentially associated with slow-twitch muscle, with its abundance being considerably greater in soleus compared with gastrocnemius muscle and, within soleus muscle, in slow as opposed to fast muscle fibers.
both APOBEC2 (despite being an ancestral member of the family with no obvious redundancy in muscle) and APOBEC3 (despite its proposed role in restricting endogenous retrotransposition) are inessential for mouse development, survival, or fertility
Findings indicate that aberrant APOBEC2 expression causes nucleotide alterations in the transcripts of the specific target gene and could be involved in the development of human hepatocellular carcinoma through hepatic inflammation.
Studies indicate the APOBEC family consists of 11 members: APOBEC-1 (Apo1), APOBEC-2 (Apo2), activation induced cytidine deaminase (AID), APOBEC- 3A, -3B, -3C, -3DE, -3F, -3H (Apo3A-H) and APOBEC- 4 (Apo4).
The APOBEC2 was confirmed to be elevated in the tonsils with IgAN patients, and the gene expression level was negatively related with serum IgG level in overall patients.
crystal structure of APOBEC2
Probable C to U editing enzyme whose physiological substrate is not yet known. Does not display detectable apoB mRNA editing. Has a low intrinsic cytidine deaminase activity. May play a role in the epigenetic regulation of gene expression through the process of active DNA demethylation (By similarity).

On Tuesday afternoon (September 8th), I received a phone call from a
friend of mine who is an educator in this county. The caller said,
"Well they didn't show it." For a moment I couldn't imagine what the
caller was talking about. Then it hit me. The speech - the speech
the President of the United States was to give the country's
schoolchildren about the value of a good education and about staying
in school!
There are three generations of educators in my family. I love my
With only two weeks under their belt as the new management company for Nature Coast Regional Hospital, Physicians Healthcare Development Inc. (PHD )is still assessing needs and plotting the course of their work in Williston.
The new management company, only 18 months old, was founded by four men with assorted health care backgrounds who came together in a unified cause: to develop how physicians and patients can have a louder voice in how health care is delivered. (You can read the four partners' biographies at www.webphd.org.)
While it may seem that the mainstream media is overlooking the elderly in its swine flu updates, the Levy County Health Department is taking measures to educate and inform the county's aged on the pandemic.
Monday morning, Liz Powers, director of nurses at the health department, addressed members of Williston's AARP to ensure correct information about H1N1, or swine flu, is disseminated throughout the county.
To the editor:
Matt Cravey, FFA Advisor and Agriculture teacher at Dixie County High School suffered a stroke and other health complications this past summer and has been shuttling between hospital and nursing home in an all out effort to rehabilitate and get on the road to recovery. His wife, their three sons and extended family are working hard to see that Matt gets the care he needs.
As you can imagine, the medical costs are staggering and the family's budget and insurance are nearly exhausted. Matt and his family need our prayers and financial support.
It apparently just wasn't peanuts he was serving up at his roadside stand.
On Sept. 1, Joey Barrera of the Drug Task Force arrested James W. Scott, 51, of NE Hwy. 27 for selling narcotics and marijuana from his vendor booth between Williston and Bronson.
Scott was charged with the sale of marijuana, less than 20 grams and possession of marijuana following a four-month investigation led by Agent Rob Bowers.
The Williston High School Band Boosters in association with 1st Class Tournaments have partnered to host the 1st annual "Red Devils and Friends" Golf Tournament in Ocala Oct. 3 at Candler Hills Golf Club.
This tournament has been designed to promote fellowship between Williston High School Alumni and supporters of Williston High School.
Entry fee is $65 per person which includes green fees, cart and dinner.
Prizes will be awarded for longest drive, longest putt made, closest to the pin, and others to be named. Foursomes are encouraged to register.
Unemployment in Levy County dropped by 0.6 percentage points from July's 12.1 percent to 11.5 percent in August, according to the Florida Agency for Workforce Innovation.
The giant tractor tires in the Cornelius Williams (East Williston) Park will be removed permanently at the direction of Williston's City Council.
At the last council meeting, Virginia McDonald, a resident of the neighborhood, asked that the tires be removed because they were not safe. The council agreed and the tires were removed.
A lot of little girls go to bed and dream of ponies. But not Patricia Engesser. Her childhood dreams were filled with snarling tigers. And she didn't wake up screaming.
"I always wanted a tiger," Engesser said. "So, I married a guy with one."
Engesser and her husband, Robert, have been married about 26 years and own The Zoo AKA Jungle Safari between Chiefland and Trenton.
It is one of six licensed wild animal facilities in Levy County.
A team of four Williston High School JROTC Cadets shot their way to the Junior Olympic National Finals in the Three Position Air Rifle competition held at Camp Perry, Ohio.
The four team members, Ali Mohs, Savannah Rios, Matthew Converse, and Devin Colson placed second in the matches in the state of Florida competition. The top two teams in all 50 states then went to the Junior Olympic Finals where the Williston team placed 17th out of the 100 participating teams.

If Alabama were a country, it would have a higher percentage of its citizens in jail than any other country in the world. According to the Prison Policy Initiative, a criminal justice think tank, 861 out of every 100,000 Alabamians are in jail. The U.S. as a whole incarcerates 716 people for every 100,000 residents, far ahead of second-place country, Cuba, which incarcerates 510 out of every 100,000 residents. Alabama is actually one of 13 states in the U.S. that has an incarceration rate higher than any country. But it's not only the state's total prison population that has proved costly and problematic, it's the fact that Alabama also has the most serious prison overcrowding problem in the U.S. It's so bad that the state could be running the risk of federal courts stepping in and ordering the haphazard release of thousands of prisoners.
Why do so many ex-offenders become repeat offenders? Statistics compiled by the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts in Washington D.C., indicate that ex-offender employment is a critical factor in whether recently released federal inmates are successful. Of the 262,000 federal prisoners that were released from federal prison between calendar years 2002-2006, 50% of those who could not secure any employment during the time of their supervised release (generally two-to-five years) committed a new crime or violated the terms of their release and were sent back to prison. However, an astonishing 93% of those who were able to secure employment during the entirety of their supervised release were able to successfully reintegrate back into society and not return to prison.
In fiscal year 2013, 40 percent of Alabama's admissions to prison were violators of parole or probation, many for "technical" reasons such as missing an appointment with an officer, according to data compiled by the Council of State Governments.
According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics there are currently 2.3 million people incarcerated in prisons and jails across America. Approximately 30,000 of those inmates are incarcerated in the State of Alabama. Nationally, 97% of the offenders in jail today will be released and then return to the communities from which they came. Statistics show that 30% of adult offenders released from state prisons are re-arrested within the first six months of their release. Even worse, within three years of their release from prison this increases to 67%, or two out of three, ex-offenders returning to prison.* Sadly, revocations are the fastest growing category of prison admissions. Parole violators now account for 35% of new prison admissions as compared to only 17% in 1980.**

The ad might read like this: "Spacious apartment in a great neighborhood, with good schools". But, here's the catch, and you can hear it.
The truth is, most residents who live near the Second Avenue subway construction would much rather move away from it than move close to it.
But, for 22-year-old Ashlee Reilly who moved to 69th and 2nd in August, there's a studio apartment which normally rents for about 1,800 a month that she's renting for just 1,450 a month.
"I have 10-foot ceiling so it's very nice. Separate kitchen, bathroom, everything," Reilly said.
Ashlee isn't the only one who got lucky.
According to real estate experts, they say there are similar deals near East 72nd Street and East 82nd Street.
"What we found is, there are mostly pockets of areas for certain periods," said Gordon Golub, CitiHabitats.
It's mostly because these 5-story trailers have sprouted up, taking up almost an entire block at various points.
If you have a window or balcony you're just feet away from what the workers call the "muck" house.
"It's horrible, you can't walk down the sidewalks, there are obstructions all over," said Madeline Kaplan, an Upper East Side tenant.
"I was sitting at the dining room table, that dynamite went off, my entire table shook," said Bea, and Upper East Side tenant.
According to one study on rent in the zone so to speak that is between 1st and 3rd Avenues between 64th and 96th Streets, the median rent has dropped 1.7%.
It's gone up in the other areas east of 1st Avenue and west of 3rd Avenue.

Our staff has over 50 years combined experience in website design and web application development, giving us the know-how to develop websites that fit you and your client's every need. We can build anything from a simple informational website to an elaborate social network. We pride ourselves on creating websites with the most up-to-date technology, features and designs.
Making the transition from brick and mortar to e-business can be fraught with dangers, chief among them are the myriad of new technical services required to operate on the internet and mobile platforms. For instance, the first step in mobile app development begins with the choice of platform. That choice determines the approach used and the capabilities available to you. And there may be features or limitations that you may not even be aware of. It can be a dizzying array of confusing options, and we can help you to clear it up.
With desktop application development, there are hundreds of ways to get the job done. From the choice of a UI, to strategies for best performance. Don't settle for the "path of least resistance" product, work with a team that tries to understand your work-flow needs and design accordingly.
You know your business, and you know what works; don't be forced to adapt to what's out there, make it adapt to you. If you find that the "off the shelf" doesn't meet your needs, contact us to find out how we can close the gap between what you have and what you need. Each platform comes with its own challenges and concerns, don't get stuck catching up when you can get it right the first time by partnering with a competent and proven website developer in Houston.
Whenever possible, we leverage existing open sourced solutions to provide application functionality. However, when we find ourselves requiring extension of what is available we strictly adhere to best practices and ensure that our work will be secure, stable and further extensible. This commitment to standards and open source, saves time for both our clients and ourselves and that translates to lower total cost of ownership and fewer headaches. If you need greater flexibility and/or performance than a CMS can provide, contact us to find out how we can turn your needs into a reality.
You may have heard of such terms at Drupal, Wordpress, Joomla, Xoops and many other content management systems. Each has its strengths and weaknesses and depending on your project goals one is right for you. Here is a good article comparing Drupal vs Joomla vs WordPress. eMUNICATIONS has experience in many content management systems and can help you choose the one that is right for your project. eMUNICATIONS can program several content management systems including Drupal, Joomla, WordPress, Xoops and some lesser-known content management systems. We can also custom code a website in PHP and MySQL should an open source CMS not work for you.
Included in eMUNICATIONS' standard website development package is basic search engine optimization prior to website launch. We have a standard set of procedures, tricks and tools that we apply to your website optimization. These on-page search optimization efforts are usually enough to get a small geographical business say, a Houston area delivery service or Houston limosine service, on the first page of most search engines. However, in competitive search engine spaces like, Sugar Land realtors or, Fort Bend lawyers or, high-volume consumer product sales firm with a national target market, it is necessary to enhance your search optimization efforts. eMUNICATIONS offers services in both search engine optimization and search engine marketing.
Search engine optimization, or SEO, is necessary for today's business websites. And it should be! After all, you could have a terrific website (and you will when eMUNICATIONS is finished with it!) but, if no one can find it, it isn't much good to you. Optimizing a website for search engines is both art and science. We work with you to determine the keyword groups that are appropriate for your business to find potential clients. We keep you informed about the process and explain every step of this sometimes arcane practice of search engine optimization. Give us a call, we guarantee you will know more about optimizing your website for search engines than you did before we talked.
Search engine marketing or SEM is a quick way to get your website seen on search engines. You know how Google makes all that money – paid search or, pay-per-click advertising. You write your own advertisement. You bid on each keyword or key phrase for positioning of your advertisement. You pay only when a searcher clicks on your advertisement. This brings to your website a person that is already interested in your products or services. eMUNICATIONS would be happy to show you how to set up and manage your own search engine marketing campaign or, we'll set it up and manage it for you.
Wikipedia defines Social Media as this, "Social media refers to the means of interactions among people in which they create, share, and exchange information and ideas in virtual communities and networks.[1] Andreas Kaplan and Michael Haenlein define social media as "a group of Internet-based applications that build on the ideological and technological foundations of Web 2.0, and that allow the creation and exchange of user-generated content."[2] Furthermore, social media depends on mobile and web-based technologies to create highly interactive platforms through which individuals and communities share, co-create, discuss, and modify user-generated content. It introduces substantial and pervasive changes to communication between organizations, communities, and individuals.[3]"
What does this mean to your organization? It depends. Social Media really works best for consumer products and services companies. This is because social media is most often about people and their personal lives, preferences and likes. Many companies think they need to participate in social media – this is simply not true. If you are not selling a consumer oritented product or service, don't bother. If you are, then you want to be on the social media channels but, not necessarily all of them.
A second consideration is the time it takes to participate in social media channels. If you are going to post to a Facebook page, you need to do it at least once or twice a week, consistently. More frequent postings are required if you use something like Twitter. Third, be prepared for public comments that you may not like or agree with.

Business identity packages (logo, business cards, letterhead, brochures) is the traditional way to express the value of your organization. Additionally, these advertising collateral items announce the contact points for your organization, phone, fax, address and website. So often businesses neglect to put their domain name on their business cards, letterhead, brochures, trade show graphics and promotional products.
Is your identity consistent across all mediums? Do they lead potential clients to contact you? We will coordinate your print materials with your website and save you time and money.
eMUNICATIONS was started by a business man, not a programmer or designer.

Internet technologies have grown very complex. One person can not know everything or have all the skills to prepare a well-functioning website that services your existing clients, potential clients and employees. It takes a team. eMUNICATIONS has built that team of diverse Internet specialists. We can service all of your needs from email marketing to brand enhancement. From website applications to smart phone applications. From business identity packages (logos, business cards, brochures, etc.) to gorgeous website designs that make you look consistent, professional and capable.
eMUNICATIONS formed as a Texas corporation in May of 1999 though it did not start operations until 2002.
eMUNICATIONS started with one employee. It had seven employees at one time but, currently there is a core group of five, a graphic designer, two programmers, a server administrator and a guy that does everything else.
We do not hold ourselves out as a hosting company but, we do provide excellent hosting services for our website design and development clients. We found a long time ago that we can provide better customer support if the customers has one point of contact for their website, email, ftp, etc. needs.
This is a long list but, we are experts in PHP/MySQL, javascript, jquery, html, the content management systems, Drupal and Wordpress. Server software - Apache, Linux and CPanel. eCommerce packages - Drupal Commerce, Magento, OpenCart and UberCart. Graphic designing on Photoshop and Illustrator. Layout and theming packages Zen, Bootstrap and Cherry.

The cheapest phone may not always be what to buy, imo. If you are eligible for an upgrade, the samsung s3, and the note 2, which imo are two of the better devices are available for 29 and 150 as refurbs on the att web site, as well as several others. While I don't always get a refurb, I've never had an issue with them.
Samsung Focus 2 would also work if you can stand Windows Phone 7 like Nokia 900.
I say current generation because my S4 has much better reception then my Note2. The 2013 qualcom chips seem to have taken a big step in performance. I would go to an ATT store and pick out a current generation phone and sign up. You have 14 days buyers remorse and can return it. Second option would be to buy an unlocked from Amazon and return it when done, I have never had an issue returning stuff to Amazon.
Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket.

Alex Hammond's ten to follow
Sky Sports News presenter Alex Hammond continues her list of ten to follow with Waaheb and Grands Crus.
Last Updated: 13/11/12 10:08am
Dermot Weld's Waaheb looked a horse to follow last season but a few niggling injuries kept him off the track. He had his first start since May 2011 in a 2 mile Hurdle at Fairyhouse last month and it was an impressive debut over obstacles.
His trainer has described him as a talented horse with a lot of class and he is a leading contender for top novice hurdle honours and will no doubt be targetted at the Supreme Novices' Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival in March.
A horse who should be able to get us off the mark quickly is David Pipe's Grands Crus who is favourite for Saturday's Paddy Power Gold Cup at Chetlenham. He was a top class novice chaser last season winning three of his four starts, with his one defeat coming in the RSA Chase.
He finished fourth there when not running to his best form and can be forgiven his lacklustre effort. Saturday's Cheltenham contest looks like an ideal starting point for the grey who could run in many of the top two and a half to three mile chases this term.

Into the Sky and Back
I was a part of a broadcasting company for seven odd years. From a single person department into a big department. Love broadcasting world especially the technologies and of course, the glamour which comes along with a TV station like TV3. Later when I was hired by Dubai Internet City in 2000 and in 2001 there was a plan to launch Dubai Media City, I was again assigned to assist the strategy and planning, including to bring the famous Arab brand but based in a foreign land, MBC from its base in London to Dubai. I met with a lot of Arab media personalities along the way while with Dubai Media City. Even involved in several establishments of media companies which incorporated in Media City, one of them was Yusuf Islams' Mountain of Lights. Again, when Dubai Internet City planned for a teleport business to cater the tenants of Media City, I was assigned to do the feasibility study and later incorporated www.samacom.com , whom again I was in the pioneering team of a new satellite business. At that time we had the monopoly giant to contend with. After all these years, only yesterday I slipped into the used-to-be'competitor' home ground on top of the hill. I was back into memory lane. I had left broadcasting world since 2002 but still have fascinations on this exciting industry. The home coming visit was for something else, but I enjoyed being in the broadcasting atmospehere!

Plus, a-one-of-a-kind feature offered only by Monograms is the service of a Local Host, someone who is there for you throughout your vacation to answer questions, offer insights, arrange activities, and help ensure your vacation runs smoothly.Your vacation begins the moment you arrive in Rome, where we can pick you up at the airport and take you to your selected hotel.

The next morning, after included breakfast, we'll pick you up at your hotel for guided sightseeing with an expert local guide. We'll take you to some of Rome's most historical sights, such as the Colosseum, built in the 1st century to hold 50,000 spectators and most famous for its gladiator fights; the Roman Forum, dating back 2,000 years to the peak of the Roman Empire; and St. Peter's Square and Basilica, built in 313 AD.

Madonna of the
HarpiesAndrea del Sarto
1517, oil on wood, 208 x 178 cm
Galleria degli Uffizi, Florence,
hereto see our fine art
Andrea del Sarto was primarily a fresco
painter, and his work is characterized by the relaxed and
elegant style of Raphael and Fra Bartolommeo whom he emulated.
Del Sarto's most famous work is his masterpiece of 1517,
the altarpiece of the Madonna of the Harpies, now in
the Uffizi in Florence. Del Sarto also executed
frescoes in the Florentine churches of SS. Annunziata for the
Servite religious order, and for the Chiostro dello
Scalzo where he created a monochromatic cycle based on the
life of Saint John the Baptist.
Andrea del Sarto was in popular demand. So much so that
in 1519 Francis I of France commanded del Sarto to appear
at his court. Francis gave Andrea money and sent him to
purchase art in Italy. Del Sarto simply returned to Florence
and failed to follow through with his assigned task, instead
keeping the money for himself. For the refectory of San
Salvi convent near Florence, Andrea del
Sarto executed his final major fresco work of the Last
Supper (1527).
Most of the information we have about Andrea del Sarto comes
from his pupil
Giorgio Vasari who describes him in a less than flattering
light personally, but lauds his painting as "flawless".
Vasari's account has been discredited, however. Although a
great master in his own right, a superior draughtsman and
colorist, Andrea del Sarto was overshadowed by Renaissance
giants like Raphael and Michelangelo. Some of his works display
a hint of Mannerism,
something which is picked up by his famous pupils Pontormo, Rosso Fiorentino,
and Cecchino del Salviati.

Chilean cardinal turns 80, number of papal electors falls to 111
September 05, 2013
Cardinal Franciso Javier Errazuriz Ossa, the retired Archbishop of Santiago, Chile, celebrated his 80th birthday on September 5 and thus became ineligible to vote in a papal conclave.
There are now 111 cardinal-electors. If Pope Francis chooses to confer red hats on some prelates—such as the incoming Secretary of State, Archbishop Pietro Parolin—there is room available in the College of Cardinals. The current rule sets the maximum number of cardinal-electors at 120.
Two more cardinals—Raffael Farina, the former Vatican archivist; and Geraldo Majella Angelo, the retired Archbishop of San Salvador de Bahia, Brazil—will turn 80 before the end of October. And 5 more cardinals will pass their 80th birthdays by March of next year, providing ample space for new appointments when Pope Francis calls his first consistory.

"The crop circle is no more than a marking on the ground -- and a temporary one at that. Its shape and content and method of delivery disturbs some agency, somewhere, to the point of urgency. The crop circle is public property, arriving unannounced and unwelcome so far as the unknown agency is concerned. There is no control over the crop circle, and therefore it has to be reduced to ineffectiveness through whatever disinformation program distorted human minds can devise."

|Suzanne writes to Zef:
I love your reconstructions. I am in England for the summer, producing a feature documentary on the circles. The movie is by the man who did the Oscar nominated "WACO," William Gazecki, who loves the circles. Hopefully it will inform the world that we have a genuine phenomenon. Are you coming to England at all? We would love to talk to you for the film. We will be here till the end of August.
Thanks so much for your beautiful work. I'd love to know how you got so smart, how you became interested in the circles, and what you think they are all about.
Zef responds:
Thank you for your kind words! We (my family and I) have been in England for holiday, 31 July - 14 August. What a pity that we left the day after you sent your email (which I only read when we were at home again). I have seen your Website and I'm impressed. It is good to see you take the crop circle phenomenon seriously.
The first time I heard about crop circles was during a lecture of Benjamin Creme about the reappearance of Maitreya (see my Website for my view of it, and for references), back in 1991. The "Doug and Dave story" was front page news, and Benjamin showed (in his characteristic, catching way) how ridiculous their claim was. His story about the reappearance of the Masters of Wisdom into the daily world, for me, is the most acceptable view about the origin of crop circles, since he puts it in a much wider context. I'll be happy to share my thoughts about it with you, but that will take some time. In order not to delay this answer, I'll send it you now, and within a number of days I'll try to come back again.
|Suzanne replies:
It is a shame we missed you. I am surprised you are not exchanging thoughts with the other people who do geometry work, and I'd liked to have filmed you with some of the others. I love what you do and would welcome anything you have to say about it. I'm familiar with Benjamin Creme, but even if you like his story, the phenomenon is still a mystery that will reveal itself -- or won't -- and will or won't conform to what anyone says about it. Anybody who claims to have the absolute bottom line seems silly to me, since we can't see that line. And it doesn't seem necessary to see the source -- we can just deal with its footprints, which are so inspirational and educational to us. Do you see the phenomenon taking us beyond where our designers and mathematicians go?
|Zef replies:
As promised, I'll come back trying to line up some of my thoughts about crop circles. As I told you, I mainly follow Benjamin Creme. I think the majority of crop circles are made by our "Space Brothers," mostly from Venus and Mars. The most convincing element is that there is no "hard evidence." It is not for the space brothers nor the masters of wisdom to prove they are there, helping us evolve. It is up to us to change our minds, to see (and learn to know) who we really are, to look behind the ordinary common things, to stop quarrelling about everything, polarizing the whole world. Do we really know so much? Do we for instance know what (or who) is making a simple tiny buttercup so intensely yellow? The main reason for me to make reconstructions of crop circle formations (besides that I am fond of patterns, geometry and the like) is to make people (and myself!) look a second time -- to stop "knowing" (for the time being) and to try to look and see and perceive. One thing I perceive is, there is something (someone?) else here (like the buttercup). And I love it! It's beautiful! It's me, out there!
What I very much would like to know (I wish I could penetrate deep into it) is how different patterns relate to different kinds (or forms?) of energy. Why are some patterns so beautiful and sparkling, while others are so dull or far too smooth? What defines the tension in a pattern? Is it the mutual relationship between the components? (Of course! What else could it be?) Distance, skewed-ness, (relative) length, ratio, boldness, intersections, squareness, resonance perhaps? What music does a pattern make? With the crop circle patterns, I found that many of them have some kind of little "trick." Often, it happens that I think I have found the geometry, straight forward, and then it doesn't fit. It's not correct, it must be different, I have to change. See for instance my reconstruction of the 2000 Silbury Hill (2) formation at step 6a, which is resolved at step 10. These kinds of "recoveries" are common, but most of them not quite visible (I would have to give the history of how I found the reconstruction).
So far, just a number of thoughts. Much more can be said -- about the role of light as basis for our physical world instead of space and time (from which space and time could be "generated"); about the absolute perfect that cannot be perceived; about the ease with which many people (especially in "new-age circles") use words like dimension, frequency, energy, magnetism, which, at least in physics, have profound meanings; about the extraordinary important time of history we live in, etc. I hope I have given some idea of my ideas! By the way, I think exchange of ideas is of utmost importance. Being able to openly show one's view of things and being taken seriously is a very good thing. However, a lot of energy is going into disputes, polarizing people and creating camps. It is not my favorite. I prefer to give my energy to reconstructions and "let them speak for themselves."
|Suzanne replies:
I recognize so much of myself in what you say. I, too, think they are helping us evolve. A wholeness is being offered for us to lift ourselves to. I look at whatever discord people might generate the way I look at hoaxers. There's real value to be gleaned, and it isn't in arguments or hoaxing.
I was surprised at your enthusiasm for Benjamin Crème. After he was wrong about his initial forecast, it surprises me he is still on the scene. What makes you think he's on the mark? And how would you have any sense of where the circlemakers come from? That seems to me to be an impenetrable mystery.
I entertain a fantasy that we are a little test group -- a potential that exists in this circumscribed field, where the challenge and the opportunity involves our coming into alignment. As long as we behave in the contentious way that the rest of humanity proceeds, we get no closer to the circlemakers, but, if we were to come into alignment, they would somehow reward us. It was with this thought that I went to England this summer, to create a gathering place where we could become a cooperative entity. With who showed up there, we achieved success -- akin to our crop circle listserve, where people feed each other -- but many people didn't come. Some were far enough away to make it understandable -- although others traveled surprisingly great distances. But some just weren't interested in alignment, just as many of the researchers have remained uninterested in the listserve. God love all of the lovers of the circles, but I think this maintenance of separation misses an opportunity. And then, of course, we have hoaxers and friends of hoaxers, who I think of like terrorists. There is no alignment to be had with those people.
The kinds of things you talk about I think are fascinating, and I'd love to hear more. Would you write for publication about what very few others would be capable of saying? This is an off the wall idea, but I wonder if there could be a book where more than one geometry person contributes. I have a manuscript from Nick Kollerstrom that I've sent to the publisher (who happens to be my nephew) who did Eltjo Hasselhoff's book, which has teachings about the geometry, that lacks for the kind of perceptions you have, not to mention the incredible constructions you do. I could see the two of you in the same book, and then perhaps others. It could be a smashing book, the likes of which isn't out there, coming from a few of you writing chapters.
I thank you so much for the awesome contribution you make. I don't see how you can figure these things out -- and it was interesting to get a glimpse of your process on that Silbury Hill formation.
Dr. Henry Monteith, Mathematics Professor at Eastern New Mexico University writes:
Thank you very much for the crop circle information and Websites. Gosh, that has to be the most awesome crop circle ever created! It is hard to believe that the appearance of such a circle formation did not get the attention that it deserved from the world's governments and press. The only conclusion is that an international conspiracy is most definitely in place to keep the world's people in ignorance of the fact that the entire universe is filled with highly intelligent life forms that are attempting to communicate with the people of earth.
Are you aware of the tremendous efforts being made by Dr. Steven Greer with his 'Project Disclosure? ( If you have not kept up with Steven Greer's efforts, you can read about it at disclosureproject.org.) He has gathered together more than 400 retired military, government, and intelligence officers who have pledged to testify before Congress concerning their knowledge of our government's contact with highly evolved aliens and their recovery of spacecraft and alien bodies. The most important of these retired officials is a close friend of mine and he lives right here in Roswell, New Mexico. He was on the Army's Retrieval team and personally removed dead aliens from a crashed spacecraft and helped a still living one to escape!!
Steven held a news conference in Washington on May 9, 2001, and 21 of these people testified at the conference, asking for a Congressional hearing on the subject of UFOs. So far, this has been resisted by Congress, and the news conference itself was not very highly publicized by our main news media such as ABC, CBS, and NBC. Indeed, my brother-in-law who lives in Washington D.C. did not even hear about the news conference! There was only a little coverage of it on Internet news.
I am now becoming very concerned about the mental, spiritual and ethical deterioration of the American people because, in spite of the fact that they have been bombarded for many years with almost endless evidence of the existence of extraterrestrial intelligent life -- and the testimony of hundreds of credible observers -- their curiosity has not been stimulated and they seem to have no real desire to know the real truth about UFO's and to comprehend of their existence and purpose in this Universe! If this kind of thing had come forth over 60 years ago, the strong hearted American people of that day would have marched on Washington to get at the truth! American people are becoming more and more apathetic and ignorant; for example, the student body of MIT now consists of more than 70% foreigners and the percentage of American students majoring in the sciences, especially Physics and Engineering, is falling rapidly! So if the interest in science is declining, most certainly their interest in the Universe at large, and their desire to know their place in it, is rapidly falling!
This decline in mental development is strongly apparent in my mathematics classes. Daily, I find myself looking into blank, apathetic faces with minds that find it very difficult to grasp the simplest mathematical concept even when it is explained in terms of things that happen to them in their everyday lives. The majority of students entering college today have very little drive, initiative, incentive and desire to know. They are coming to school mostly because someone told them that it was necessary if they wanted to get a better job. The only real reason for going to school is that one has a great desire to know and to improve themselves; however, this motivation is present only in a very small percentage of our students and that motivation is in rapid decline. The technological competence of America is now being maintained almost exclusively by students who have been educated in foreign countries. As Nobel Prize winner Sheldon Glashow said: "Americans cannot hack it, foreign students are the solution, not the problem!" I am afraid that our country is now in decline and the lack of interest in what is taking place with UFOs and crop circles is strong proof of this fact.
|Suzanne's response:
Thanks for the thoughtful reply. I wasn't aware of what you are talking about re students. I have no doubt of how accurate your representation is, and I'm very familiar with what Greer is doing. Fascinating that you know the important person who had a first hand experience. Hmmm. Is there some more play to be had with him? Is there any chance that he's not telling the truth?
Well, nobody promised us a rose garden. So then what to do? I just keep focused on where to from here, knowing I've been blessed with awareness and that that presents an obligation to lead the parade. I just keep my sites on "the small group of thoughtful citizens who can change the world," according to the oft quoted Margaret Mead. That I can focus on. And there's work to be done in our backyard. I look to put smart people together, where two heads are better than one. Now I'm thinking about how to frame dialogues that are essentially about crop circles, with circle researchers sitting with the likes of Nobel Prize winners getting aha's before our eyes.
Irv Thomas writes:
Right on, Suzanne...except I think it more likely that they are just so embedded in their anti-crop circles mentality, along with their conditioned assumptions as to what form a reply would take, that their brains are frozen. (Only a few degrees of difference, on a circular scale, from fried brains).
It reminds me of that old tale about the fellow who brought a talking dog to a vaudeville proprietor, seeking a booking. The manager asked for a demonstration, and then denied the request, for the reason that the dog had terrible grammar.
Thanks for posting all this material, which I have passed along on my own circuit to those I know would be interested. Have you heard of the Website, earthfiles.com?
|Suzanne's response:
Thanks, Irv, I hadn't known about Linda Moulton Howe's Earthfiles site. That's a nice little summary she wrote in her "Headline News" section that I'd have directed people to if I'd known about it. Isn't is strange to be sitting in plain view of such hot stuff and watch the indifference to it? What a lesson in the way things are...
Walter Francis writes:
Back in the 1950's, I had a business that took me to the jungles of Colombia and Brazil. At THAT time I was in the animal business. Treking through the jungles one hot and humid day, I looked up and saw this most beautiful reptile, A Colombian Emerald Tree Boa. It must have recently shed its skin as it was a most beautiful iridescence of green the likes of which I have never seen on any Colombian Emerald Tree Boa. I just had to have that specimen and was prepared to climb the tree if necessary to capture it. I proceeded to do just that and started my climb. The snake was about 60' - 70' above ground, and, as I just kept looking up as I climbed to keep the snake in view, I reached its position and grabbed it. Being tired and hot, I thought to rest for a moment on a nearby branch. Looking around, I could see an open field clearly about 100' from where I rested and could see an imprint of sorts on the grass. From where I was it was clearly seen as a rectangular (about 10' x 30') with two others, smaller and then again smaller inside. It was something I have never seen in my life -- before or since.
Descending the tree, I forgot my excitement over the Boa and upon reaching the ground headed over to the field of 12" to 18" high grass. I must say I was very disappointed as it did not have the nice sharp look as it appeared to me while up the tree. I forgot all about it until I went on the Internet about 3 years ago and started to read about such phenomenon. Do you really believe there is an intelligence behind Crop Circles? As far back as I can remember (I'll be 70 next birthday) I've ALWAYS had a strong belief that the Earth itself is a living entity and only allows us its use as far as we don't do unnecessary damage to it. Are there ANY genuine Crop Circles in New England? I hope you can give me, to the best of your knowledge, an answer to the questions I asked.
Suzanne replies:
I don't know about New England, but I'll post your email on our crop circle listserve to see if anyone knows. We do get a few in the States every year, but I've never heard of one in New England. Of course, the really good ones are almost all in England -- some pretty good ones in Germany and the Netherlands, and a smattering of others all over the world.
What a delicious story you have. And it sounds like it matches the phenomenon in that some formations that appear spectacular from the air look ratty up close -- not all, but some. Many are sharp, as if made with cookie cutters. What is unfamiliar in what you report is the shape. At this point, they come in all sorts of patterns, but until the 90's, all that have been reported were circles. But let's see what some of the old-time researchers from England have to say about your whole story, which I'm sure they will love.
Everything I do concerns helping the shift of consciousness move along, and the crop circles are what I believe stand the best chance to change the way everyone thinks, which at this time has assumed a real urgency. So I do a lot on their behalf, including helping produce what will be the first really good documentary -- by the filmmaker who got an Oscar nomination for "WACO: The Rules of Engagement."
My other preoccupation these days is with the war. I have an extensive Website to try to rally the progressive community at The Conversation: Making Sense of These Times.
Walter responds:
I heard from Doug regarding some swirling of grasses in Cambridge, Massachusetts. I was born and raised in Cambridge and know well the spot near the Charles River.
I've read all that is available on your Website. My, you are an interesting and busy individual! I agree with most of what you have to say. I say "most" because I have mixed feelings about wars, that is to say. It has been proving itself over time, that mankind is a warlike animal (and the deep thoughts rages, aggressions) are still coming through from our brain housing all that in its reptilian core, still active somewhat, though we live in "modern: times. There are those (peoples, countries) who have yet to catch up with the modern civilization, though we as Americans and Europeans consider ourselves civilized -- I don't believe we are. Hence, there are wars, wars and more wars. Will it ever end? I feel it won't until we can overcome the "reptilian" factor or we evolve somewhat differently, leaving that behind.
I love my country. (I enlisted in the USAF, which was then the Army, on August 8, 1950 -- Korean War broke out June 25, 1950). However, I do not agree with my country that we have to respond to the WTC bombing by bombing Afghanistan. I cannot tolerate our bombing of civilians.
Maybe people here in the U.S. and other countries should see to it that Third World countries are given all the necessary help needed to bring them into the 21st Century.
Who knows? Answers may lie in the crop circles!
Suzanne replies:
Yes, I agree with everything you say -- you are 100%, with me. And with many people. Obviously not all. Humanity is still evolving, and not all at the same pace. There is still barbarism, but it is old -- reptilian, as you say. The tragedies brought about by unevolved monsters help to galvanize the moves forward by the rest. I learned in esoteric studies that Hitler was useful to human evolution to push us collectively beyond where we were. This, too, now -- only we may all go down this time, given how good we have gotten at weaponry. Please God we will survive this. How pathetic when we have the capacity for something paradisiacal on Earth that we must still grovel this way. It makes me sick to watch war as entertainment on TV, the horrors interspersed by jaunty commercials. There is something obscene about that. We tempered it for awhile after 9/11, but materialism is back in full view again. The rich just have to equalize things more if we are to survive. That is the big mandate now, and we still haven't even considered it. That scares me. We are not doing what we could. That's why I have my 9/11 site -- I can't stand how short sighted we are, and am just sputtering away trying to do whatever I can.
|Doug Rogers chimes in on Walter's comments:
I see someone is asking about crop circles in New England. Please pass along the fact that we've had very little activity in the fields here over the past decade. Since we have almost no grain farmers here, any ground designs would probably show up in grass. The closest crop designs, all outside of New England, have been found in New York and in Virginia. The New York design showed up in Mary Pyc's oatfield back on July 26,1993, Columbia, Herkimer County, where all the newspapers covered the story. The Virginia design arrived in grass just a couple of days before the S.S.E. (Society for Scientific Exploration ) held its annual meeting on the University of Virginia campus less than a mile away. That's about it for the entire East Coast.
Suzanne replies:
I've seen pictures of the Charles River, with some two miles, as I recall, of these spirally circles. Isn't is something that things like this occur, there for all to see, yet there isn't official attention paid to try to figure out what's going on.

Top Ten Greasiest Foods to Eat
Not all foods are created equal. This is most especially true when it comes to what is and isn't good for you. Being one of the causes for obesity, greasy foods are definitely a guilty pleasure. So which food types reign supreme in terms of the grease factor? Read on as we list these diet-distracting temptations.
1. Bacon
Bacon, the breakfast of champions. It surely tastes good with some eggs on the side. Although, it's hard not to associate them with kitchen towels soaking up fat drippings.
Depending on the type of cut and preparation, this breakfast guilty pleasure can flip flop from being tasty to just plain greasy. American Style bacon comes from pork belly, which gives it that distinctively oily property. That's not to say it isn't delicious or useful in curing hangovers, but it does deserve a spot in our top ten.
2. Fried Noodles
Surprised? Well noodles all by their lonesome doesn't exactly fit in with the rest of our contenders, but add a tub of oil and a generous sprinkling of sodium and you've got yourself a champ. There are restaurants which serve fried noodles with all kinds of toppings and heaping portions, giving the soaked strips a full meal vibe. So what's the verdict? Eating a whole plate along with the fried chicken and shrimp that goes with it covers almost two whole days worth of fat, not to mention a whole lot of salt.
3. Fries, Cheesy Fries
A favorite side treat, fries are the usual culprits for weight gain that goes unnoticed. While potatoes are a good source for carbohydrates, these starchy goodies have a tendency to really soak up the oil. Add the fact that people usually munch through these mindlessly, dipping them with thick mayonnaise or gravy, sprinkle additional salt or even melt cheese on top and you have yourself a grease delivery system.
For the more health conscious, it is worth noting that fast food fries are one of the usual culprits when it comes to trans fat content. It's not bad to indulge every now and then but remember to be good to your arteries. Portion your fries on the side and cut down on the condiments.
4. Breaded Fish Fillet
Another surprising greasy treat, fried fish fillet encrusted with an equally salty, oily shell is definitely a diet no-no. The damage? Considering the amount of oil that fast food breaded fish can soak, it has the potential to meet your daily saturated fat allotment twice over. If you are watching your waistline, and health, it's better to go for steamed or grilled fish.
5. Chicken Fingers
While we're at it, let's add chicken fingers into the mix. We're separating this from the rest of the fried offenders because of their role in kid-sized meals. With a chunk of cholesterol, high sodium content and saturated fats, a daily diet of this isn't exactly the best kiddie treat. The grease factor is off the charts, when considering the pint-sized clients these are marketed for.
With a few tweaks, this sinfully greasy snack is not a hopeless case. As it is with fries, it's important not to slather on additional, fatty condiments on top. Oven baked chicken fingers have the crunch and contains less the fat than its fried, fast food brethren.
6. Donuts
The stereotype treat for office workers, donuts are surely a greasy treat. If you were to get these sugary rings freshly fried, they would surely change the color of the paper bag which holds them. Depending on the flavor, a single donut can pack from 200 to 500 calories and enough sugar to keep your kids wide awake at bedtime. So keep the donuts as an occasional treat to prevent your kids from becoming butter balls from the grease.
7. Deep Dish Pizza
If you thought regular pizza was already a slick offender, think again. Deep dish pizza is the epitome of a grease bowl, with its denser crust that can trap more oil and fat than its slimmer counterpart. The thick base also has more room for a fatter layer of cheese, not to mention heaps of salty toppings which can really pack the extra sodium as well as more than a day's worth of saturated fat and calories. If you really have a craving for pizza, skip the deep dish and go for the flat bread variety. Your tummy will thank you.
8. Crispy Chicken Salad
Perhaps the most shocking of all, salad can also be considered a grease-laden meal. For the most part, the leafy greens are good for you. The thing is, there are varieties such as the crispy chicken variant which piles up the breaded chicken, shredded cheese, bacon bits, fried croutons and tops it all off with loads of gooey dressing. Like we said, not all foods are created equal and having greens around the crispy chicken salad certainly doesn't make it better than eating plain fatty, deep fried chicken fingers.
But all hope is not lost. If you really have a hankering for some chicken salad, lose the breading. Also, request the dressing to be served separately and pour it sparingly. It's not perfect but it helps.
9. Buttered Popcorn
Want to fast track becoming a butterball? Regularly eat loads of buttered movie theater popcorn. Coconut oil, which is composed of give or take 91 percent saturated fats, is commonly used for these munchies. Add almost a whole stick of butter into the mix as well as any other salty artificial flavoring of your choice and you have got yourself a ticket to grease heaven.
Without the grease, popcorn is actually a diet-friendly snack. Just skip the butter and the oil altogether. Go for the air-popped variant whenever possible and forego the added artificial flavors.
10. Hamburger
If there is one, well-liked fast food meal that takes the cake in terms of greasiness, it is the friendly neighborhood burger. A burger is unique thanks to the various layers, working together to create a harmoniously delicious, greasy meal. No, just because it has lettuce doesn't mean it's good for you.
Depending on what its components are made of, the fat content can also stack up pretty quickly when it comes to these towering monstrosities. Take for example a triple layer of oil-soaked beef, topped off with three slices of processed cheese, a few strips of bacon, a handful of fries (yes, it is used as a topping too), mayonnaise and a warm, buttered bun. What makes the beef patties taste so delicious is that added layer of fat. We don't even need to go into detail why that's just asking for clogged arteries.
While it will be hard to totally avoid going over your daily ration of fat by eating burgers, go for the lesser evil. Going for 90% lean beef patties will shave a significant portion of grease from your favorite on-the-go meal. Ask for a dry bun to save about a hundred calories. And, while you're at it, trade in the fries for crisp, fresh veggies and swap the mayo for ketchup or mustard instead. It'll taste better sans the fat-induced craving.
So which greasy food reigns supreme on our list? The burger of course. While it varies depending on preparation, the good ol' burger is commonly topped with so many greasy components that we can't help but declare it the winner.

Anne Nonny Mouse writes: "My very favorite quote is from the poem 'The Summer Day' by Mary Oliver: 'What is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?'
"I love that line and think of it often, particularly when doing something out of the ordinary or stretching myself somehow, but sometimes just reflecting now and then on what I'm doing with my life and if I'm happy with what I'm doing.
"Last night I found myself doing something I had not done since I was kid: wading in prairie grass up to my hips, with a bug net, capturing grasshoppers. I had taken my grandson to a 'Bug Safari' class at the Dodge Nature Center. We were walking though weeds with a big net and an empty jar and trying to see what kinds of insects could be found in the middle of the prairie. It reminded me of hunting for grasshoppers when I was a kid, in the field next to my house — something I hadn't thought of in years. Strangely enough, this favorite quote of mine is from a poem about a grasshopper, with the author comparing herself to a grasshopper in the field: '… I do know how to pay attention, how to fall down / into the grass, how to kneel down in the grass, / how to be idle and blessed, how to stroll through the fields, / which is what I have been doing all day. / Tell me, what else should I have done? / Doesn't everything die at last, and too soon? / Tell me, what is it you plan to do / with your wild and precious life?'
"And I thought: Walking in the fields with my little grandson, looking for grasshoppers, is what I would like to do for today with my wild and precious life."
Not exactly what they had in mind
Christy of Menomonie, Wis.: "Many years ago, hubby was invited to speak at an evening dinner meeting put on by a local organization of printers. His topic was to be 'Public Relations.' After enjoying a lovely duck dinner, hubby went to the front of the room, where the group had provided a nice flip chart and some sets of Magic Markers (no PowerPoint back then). Hubby gave them a great theoretical explanation of the concept of public relations, complete with such academic terms as 'enlightened self-interest' and 'court of public opinion.'
"After the lecture, hubby opened the floor to questions, but the printers remained silent. When the meeting adjourned, the president thanked hubby for his presentation … but he confessed that it was not what they really wanted to hear about public relations. They had in mind something more like keeping the shop floor clean, so as to promote good public relations with customers.
"This, in public relations, is known as 'the art of the possible.' "

Booklady: "Christy of Menomonie [BB, 4/14/2014] mentioned the demo records sent to radio stations back in the day. It brought to mind the (mercifully short) time I had a two-hour slot on the college radio station.
"The Lighthouse Nut and his roommate had the desirable late-night 'East to Midnight' time — or, as it was known in the dorms, 'The Pitts and Zitz Show.' They played lovely mood music, but I was stuck with the 4-6 p.m. country music.
"One day I decided to try one of the demo songs because I thought the title was silly: 'The Ballad of Sydney Kleenex.' I blithely started it spinning, and was horrified to discover that it was also known as 'The Playboy Song.' For a Christian college in the mid-'60s, it was pretty naughty. Gee, thanks, Christy, for reminding me of that episode.

"Not being able to do much, I'm back to the TV. This week is Shark Week, and it's been interesting. It also reminded me of an incident my husband and I had at Santa Cruz, Calif.:
"We were spending the day at the beach — something we loved and often did. This particular day, the water was quite warm, and my husband decided he wanted to swim. I don't swim in the ocean; only enjoy its beauty. He said he was going to swim to the end of the pier, and I should go on the pier and watch him, which I did. He made it to the end of the very long pier and then swam back.
"Several weeks later, I was at the doctor's office being fitted for a back brace. (I've had many.) In the other room, a woman was screaming and making all kinds of noise. When the doctor came to me, I asked him what on earth was going on with her. He said she was being fitted for an artificial leg, as hers had been severed in an accident.
"Being nosy, I asked what kind. He said she had been fishing in a small boat near the pier at Santa Cruz. She had decided to dangle her foot and leg in the water, as it seemed so warm for the ocean. She had her leg in only a matter of time when a shark attacked the leg and took it off at the knee. I asked when this had happened and found out it was the same date as when my husband had swum to the end of the pier. Whoa! That could have been him!
"That was the last time we ever swam in the ocean. We did some wading, but never over a foot deep.
"I have a healthy respect for the ocean and all the creatures that live in it. Beautiful to look at and enjoy, but for me, I'm staying out."

Canning Division
Jean of Roseville: "Canning was not only a source of accomplishment, but a source of bragging.
"My mother canned everything! Since we always had a lot of company, the first thing was 'Do you want to see my canning?' Mother and whatever women were present then trouped downstairs to the 'fruit cellar' to view the rows and rows of tomatoes, pickles, green beans, and celery.
"Yes, I said celery. Since there were many fruits and veggies not available in the winter, Mother canned celery for chow mein. I spent the first years of my life pushing away plates of slimy chow mein from my sight. We bought chow mein occasionally, especially from 'John's,' where my parents went when they were 'courting.' (My husband and I also ate there during courtship.) The celery fields were way over in Roseville, and in late August we took that long drive to pick up a case or two.
"Mother wasn't the only one to show off her canning; I realized I was getting older when I was included in the request at friends' houses.
"The first time my mother came for dinner at our first apartment, she took me aside and told me my vegetables were undercooked. I told her they were 'tender crisp,' a new way of cooking I had read about.
"(The celery fields were about a block from where we now live. Who knew?"

Hey all, I glued up a door and took many precautions to keep it from twisting but as soon as I unclamped it, it twisted a bit. At this point is there any way to flatten it out? I have it clamped down to a flat surface now but whenever I take the clamps off it has a mind of its own. HELP
No announcement yet.
gotta twisted door
new posts
You haven't provided many details----is this frame and panel door----mortise and tenon joints, etc.
In general, I'd take a close look at the joints to see if, possible, any are uneven or could be responsible for the twisting. If you do find an obvious error, and already glued, you're still in for a load of work, as you'd have to unglue the joints, which may or maynot separate without damage.
Short answer----I suppose you could try laying some weights on the door to tweak it back the other way, but I haven't heard of much success at this----likely, you're going to need to make a new door. Let us know the type of construction you're using and someone may have some tips.Dave
I understand how you feel----you can try to weigh it down and let it sit for a while, but don't get your hopes up.
I learned quite a bit from my last project with M&T frames and panels---just for future use----first, before I start the project, I try to select the straightest and tightest grain for the stiles and rails. Then, if you're using rough stock, I make may cuts before I plane it done---make width cuts a bit wider than needed, than let the wood sit around for a while---of course, as you metion,you need dry wood. Reason I do this is, lucky for me, I'd cut out my stock for rails and stiles our of some wider boards---pretty good grain---then I got pulled of the project before I started cutting my M&Ts----came back to some bad twisting. I think it pays to let the wood do what it wants to before gluing it up. Hope this was some help.Dave

there are tricks that correct this problems. I'll just touch base on a few of the more common ones.
First, you can soak the wood with water, over twist the door in the oposite direction by clamping, weighing, etc, and force air dry it with a fan.
Second, cut a slot on the inside of the frame 1/2 inch wide, 1/4 deep with a router. Cut a curved piece and glue it into place in the oposite direction of the door twist. This is often used using a hard, dense wood insert against a softer wood door frame.
Third, is if it's in the machined joints. You razor cut the glue joint to open a gap. insert some epoxy, force the gap shut by clamping.
In some cases, door twist can be accounted for not in the rail and stiles themselfs, but in the panel material. If this is the case, you can make a cross frame for the inside of the door with a half lap joint at the X part of the frame. Glue it solid to the panel. Most cases this would be if the panel was thin 1/4" plywood or the like.
On your next door, dry fit it forcing all the joints tight, not using clamps and lay it on a flat surface. If it's the joints, file, sand or chisel as neccessary to get the joints to fit solid and the door to be flat. If it's the panel, try dividing the panel into smaller pieces. Not knowing if this is the case here, it's a thought.
If it's a solid wood, and thicker, before machining the raise panel profiles, lay the glue up on a flat surface, plane as needed to get it flat.
I hope this helps you, at least a little bit.John E. Adams

What does debutante mean?
Definitions for debutanteˈdɛb yʊˌtɑnt
Here are all the possible meanings and translations of the word debutante.
Princeton's WordNet
debutante, deb(noun)
a young woman making her debut into society
Debutante(fem. n.)
A young woman making her first appearance in society, especially one who is one of the honorees at a debutante cotillion. See cotillion.
a young woman who makes her first formal appearance in society
Webster Dictionary
a person who makes his (or her) first appearance before the public
Origin: [F., p. pr. of dbuter to have the first throw, to make one's dbut. See Dbut.]
A debutante is a girl or young lady from an aristocratic or upper class family who has reached the age of maturity and, as a new adult, is introduced to society at a formal "debut" presentation. Originally, it meant the young woman was eligible to marry, and part of the purpose was to display her to eligible bachelors and their families with a view to marriage within a select upper class circle. Debutantes may be recommended by a distinguished committee or sponsored by an established member of elite society. It should not be confused with an Irish "deb." Debut presentations vary by regional culture and are also frequently referenced as "debutante balls," "cotillion balls" or "coming-out" parties. The male equivalent is often referred to as "beautillion ball". A lone debutante might have her own debut, or she might share it with a sister or other close relative. Modern debutante balls are often charity events: the parents of the debutante donate a certain amount of money to the designated cause, and the invited guests pay for their tickets. These balls may be elaborate formal affairs and involve not only "debs" but junior debutantes, escorts and ushers, flower girls and pages as well.
