What are the pros? Classic marigold
What are the cons? Wish it attracted bees
This is the classic French-type marigold. It's very easy to grow, transplants well, and is a self-seeder but not invasive.
Japanese beetles sometimes collect on it but not nearly as much as on the African varieties.
It's not as attractive to bees as other flowers, but if you like marigolds, it's worth growing.
The seeds are easy to save, too. Buy this once and you'll never need to buy marigold seeds again.

What are the pros? Fast germinating
What are the cons? None
I was really surprised how quickly these guys took off, especially since I didn't do anything special in preparing the seeds. I directly sowed these into soil, and BAM! Out they came in a couple days. Like other reviewers have mentioned, this variety grew bigger than I thought they would and do require more attention if you want to keep them from taking lots of space. If that's the look you're going for in your garden, then let them be. These are beautiful and I shall be coming back for more.
What are the pros? Easy to grow, gorgeous
What are the cons? Almost too big!
These are the first flowers I have grown from seed, and they made me feel like an expert! Grew at the base of tomato plants, and agree with previous reviewers, they are not as dwarf as you would think! Next year I will choose a smaller variety for my veggie garden, but will definitely plant them in front of the house. They are almost bush-like, and if you don't keep them cut when they start getting big, they will fall over the branches get so heavy. They definetely need at least two feet between them. Very beautiful and they produce a ton of flowers!

What are the pros?
What are the cons?
I had these at the base of my tomato plants,too. I agree with the review above they are not as dwarf as I thought they would be, but they are just stunning! They are beautiful in my garden! I will be growing these again next year.They are still blooming in my zone 5 garden, we had a freeze a few weeks ago.
14 out of 14 people found the following review helpful:
I grew this mix of marigolds in my garden this year and was extremely pleased with the result. I plan on planting them in my perennial garden, they were so nice. I would not call them dwarf though, they needed much more than the 1 foot recommended, they ran over the base of my tomato and pepper plants which caused no problem but may for someone growing a lower plant. They stood around 12 inches high and were very full, they spread at least a feet on each side. Long after I stopped watering my garden, even today, the end of October, they are still growing and blooming. All I can say each time I see them is "wow ," it was the highlight of my garden this year and I had a pretty good turnout. Highly recommended.

skimpy rear, pain free shoulder straps
followed sizing chart and worked. the rear of suit is cut low and is small. not the most flattering on the over 30 almost 40 crowd despite a good BMI. The straps feel like nothing on my shoulders despite a snug fit. great for practice suit but the neck would be a little low and scoops some water for competition. pattern as pictured. speedo quality.

Suit was way too big in the bust and back area. The front shifted areound while I swam. The but was okay but could have been a little tighter. I don't know if Nike runs big or just this suit. I will be going back to TYR suits which I know my size in.

F1 ringmaster Bernie Ecclestone believes McLaren could see a "different" Jenson Button this season following the departure of Lewis Hamilton...
Formula One ringmaster Bernie Ecclestone believes McLaren could see a "different" Jenson Button this season following the departure of Lewis Hamilton.
Button joined McLaren in 2010 just a few months after he won his maiden and only World Championship with Brawn GP and many expected him to play second fiddle to Hamilton.
However, he was more than a match for his compatriot during their three years together at Woking, but the challenge will be different this year as he will have a new team-mate in Perez with Hamilton moving to Mercedes.
Although McLaren don't have a number one and a number two driver policy, many believe Button will be taking the lead role this season.
Ecclestone feels the added responsibility of being the senior partner could give the 33-year-old a boost.
"Maybe we will see that their 'second driver' will not really be second driver - that he is as good as everybody believes," he told the official Formula 1 website.
"I think it will be good for Jenson (Button) too, as he will now feel that he is in charge, whereas before he might have thought that he was 'number two'. Now he is 'number one' and we will very likely see a different Jenson. That might be good for him. Perhaps."
Hamilton's move to Mercedes means there are now extra pressure on the team to deliver this year and Ecclestone believes they will make it to the top step of the podium this year.
"First, in the tests they have shown that they are much more competitive than in previous times," he said.
"When I spoke with them about taking Lewis I said if you take him you get the right sort of people because they think they are joining a winning team now. [Non-executive director] Niki [Lauda] and [Mercedes motorsport chief] Toto [Wolff] - that looks good, so I am sure that they will be competitive. I would be hugely surprised if they don't win races - on merit and not for other reasons!"
As for who will be the teams to beat this season, the answer is pretty obvious.
"I very recently spoke to (Ferrari team principal) Stefano (Domenicali) who was in London to see me and he said that he still expects Red Bull to be the danger for them," he said.
"And I agree: they are - and they are super competitive. And from Red Bull's point of view their biggest competitor will be Ferrari."

Welcome to the second term of Jan's Master Class! We'll be covering Forms of Poetry for the next several weeks.
I hope that this new class will appeal to poets at all skill levels; I'll try to give examples and assignments appropriate for both beginners and advanced poets, and everyone in between. And for those of you who are not poets, or who are intimidated by poetry—I encourage you to take advantage of these lessons to stretch yourself as a writer.
So…I'll start with haiku. I'm going to give you the Literature 101 definition of haiku, since that's the most common definition. Just know that there are exceptions, and that there are more advanced, literary haiku. Feel free to go beyond this class and research those on your own.
Haiku is a form of poetry of Japanese origin. In its most common American form, haiku has the following characteristics:
1. Three lines with a syllable count of 5, 7, 5
2. No rhyming
3. A reference to nature or the seasons
4. Untitled
5. Capitalization, punctuation, and centering (or not) are up to the whim of the poet
Here are a few haiku (yes, that's the plural) by several poets:
Small bird, forgive me.
I'll hear the end of your song
in some other world
~unknown poet
In the falling snow
A laughing boy holds out his palms
Until they are white
~Richard Wright
Good Friday. At three,
a swarm of bees sets its heart
on an apple tree.
~Paul Muldoon
Lots of modern poets have taken the haiku form, disregarded rule #3 above, and made it comic or satirical: some of my favorites are the cat haiku, the dog haiku, and the computer ones.
Obviously, a haiku is far too short for the writing challenge; the average word count for a haiku is around 15. However, it's possible to write a series of haiku on a theme, as I did for the "Fragrance" topic, with a piece called Tantalizing Tidbits. (I'd like to change that title, if I could.) Notice that I broke a few rules: I gave each one a title (to increase the word count and to make a connection with a Bible story), and I didn't use nature references in them.
Someone else did a series of haiku recently, but I don't remember who, or for what challenge. If you know who it was, please post a link for us!
You could also incorporate a haiku into a prose piece—have a character write one, or read one, perhaps. Or use a haiku as an introduction or a conclusion to your entry; that would work well for an essay or a devotional.
Some further points about haiku before I give you some homework:
1. They're great for practice in the discipline of strict syllable count. If you're weak with syllables, practice haiku. Aim for a non-forced feel—you don't want to pick an awkward word or construction just to fit the 5, 7, 5 pattern. A haiku should flow naturally and organically, like its subject matter.
2. Use haiku as an exercise in imagery. In fact, haiku don't have to have any deep meaning—a haiku may simply be a word picture.
3. Contemporary haiku often end with a bit of a punch. This is difficult to do with just 17 syllables! Give it a try.
4. You can deviate from the 5, 7, 5 pattern, but don't do it too much. Haiku purists will be all over you…and it's always best to master a form before you fiddle with it.
Homework: Write a traditional haiku that follows all of the 5 rules above.
IF you do the first part of the homework assignment, you MAY also do the second: Write a more contemporary haiku that either a) tweaks the rules a bit, or b) comments on something in a comical or satirical way.
As always, I really hope to get additional insights from you. What have I missed? What comments do you have about haiku? What questions do you have? Let's talk.
In the following weeks, I plan to cover the following poetry forms, and I'll go approximately from simplest to most complex: limerick, sonnet, sestina, acrostic, ballad, blank verse, cinquain, ode, quatrain, clerihew, tercet, villanelle, pantoum, concrete poem, free verse, tanka, diamante. Maybe a few more…
If you're interested in last year's Master Class (Literary Terms), most of those are still available in this forum, and I'll gladly continue to respond to your input on any of those lessons. Look through the titles, and if you see something that interests you, feel free to read through the lesson and respond. Unfortunately, many of last year's class threads were lost to the FaithWriters boards melt-down last year. If you are unable to access a class, I probably have the lesson saved (sadly, not the whole thread), and I can send the document to you. Let me know.

I enjoy working in admission because?
I began my career in admissions thirty seven years and seven colleges and universities ago. I have loved every single second. I love admissions because every day I have the opportunity to meet new people whom have something special to give to this world. Everyone has a compelling story or experience to tell…..and I want to hear it!
My favorite place on campus?
My favorite place on campus is Hollenbeck hall. It stands at the top of the hill embracing the entire campus, its past, future, hopes, and dreams of those that it will send out to 'pass the light'.
My hobbies include collecting films from the 1940's, 50's and 60's………collecting baseball cards and autographs from the 1890's to the present….and reading every book that I can get my hands on.
What I look for in a student?
I look for the passions!

Diaz could play shortstop, second base, or third base. An NL scout said earlier this spring after seeing Diaz that his bat has the potential to play at any of the positions, and that his ability to stick at shortstop had a greater likelihood than some of the other Cuban infielders chances of being offensive threats.
but it seems odd for Diaz to go somewhere where he's blocked like that.
(Diaz, on the other hand, assuredly went where he was offered the most money. I can't recall a single Cuban defector who ever took less money because of a better/faster opportunity.)
Well, the Astros may not have thought that Diaz was very good. A number of people simply don't regard him as an immediate big league talent... (Joe, you may be one, yes?)
Well, the Astros may not have thought that Diaz was very good. A number of people simply don't regard him as an immediate big league talent... (Joe, you may be one, yes?)
14, You may be right that Díaz is not the player for which one should draw a line in the sand, but my larger point remains that Houston has a lot of uncommitted salary AND it has not locked up ANY Cuban defectors (so as to increase its talent pool).
the likely worst case scenario is an Oquendo level of utility player who can more than adequately play multiple positions with a potential of more.
better off focusing on players with substantial upside, such as Arruebarruena* (if he hits)
what I was meaning was roughly a 100 ops+ with average defense playing multiple positions.
(which he probably won't)
That's a very strong player. Knowing absolutely nothing about this Cuban fellow, I'm going to say that his worst case scenario is something more like Kaz Matsui's career 83 OPS+.
Forget big-money Cuban defectors — last I checked, the Astros still haven't maxed out their 2013–14 international signing allotment, and they traded $1M of it away.
It looks like it's 4/8, not 4/20.
It looks like it's 4/8, not 4/20. 2m a year is petty cash, and if he turns out to be worth something you've got major value for your buck.
4/8 sounds like a solid deal - and implies that they're prepared to let him spend some time in Memphis rather than forcing a complementary move at the big league level.
Right, although I'd start him at Palm Beach, as he hasn't played a meaningful game in almost two years.
how much benefit is derived in a situation like this from having the player start with a team located where the ST facility is? Seems like you might have a more controlled environment, more access to instructors, etc...
I think people are underselling Diaz. He hit .315/.419/.500 as a 21-year-old in his last season in Cuba, with more walks than Ks. That's a pretty good season for a guy who allegedly doesn't have any plus tools.
The Cardinals introduced their newest acquisition, Cuban shortstop Aledmys Diaz, on Monday. Within the organization, some have compared him to a young Derek Jeter. "He walks like him, you can see some of that there," general manager John Mozeliak said.
Diaz liked to hear that.
"He thinks Derek Jeter is definitely the model ballplayer that everyone should look up to, that he looked up to in the opportunities that he had in Cuba to watch baseball games," said translator Moise Rodriguez, a team employee. "He's a world-renowned baseball player that comes across as somebody that's a leader and somebody that everybody should try to be like."
From everything I've read, scouts say that Arruebarruena can't hit.
Arruebarruena hit .320/.367/.520 with 19 doubles and 8 HR as a 21-year-old in 2011–12, yet you seem positive he won't hit. Just out of curiosity, why so much confidence in Diaz? Is it based solely on his better K/BB numbers?
Arruebarruena played in a better hitter's park, so those raw numbers aren't as impressive as Diaz's,
and Diaz had been a substantially better hitter in prior seasons as well.
Where did you see park factors for the National Series? I can't recall seeing those anywhere.
Diaz's stats were better, but not substantially better.
Within the organization, some have compared him to a young Derek Jeter.
I don't have the actual PFs myself, but Clay Davenport says that he does, so you can make a reasonably apples-to-apples comparison for SN players by looking at his EqA numbers on his site's player cards.
Those obviously have a huge error bar if you're going to try to import them into a MLB-specific context given the uncertainty over league quality (and demographic info on crossover players), but as far as comparing two players within Cuba, it ought to be reasonably accurate.
Matheny made a point to say that was about how he carried himself(how he walked etc.) not about his talent. Honestly I have no clue what they meant by it, but that is what Matheny clarified about what the comment meant.
The fact that Jose Dariel Abreu and Yasiel Puig both played for Cienfuegos might make that ballpark look more hitter-friendly when, in fact, the team simply had a disproportionate number of the league's elite hitters.
I'm not sure why that would matter - we've been correcting for similar issues in US ball for years now, and Clay is pretty experienced.
Anyway, no big deal. It's just interesting that a lot of people seem convinced both Cuba's and MLB's personnel erroneously valued Arruebarruena over Diaz.
I wasn't trying to give Vlad a hard time above.

Welcome to the Historian's Family
Since the winter, this phantom blog, called Under the Family Tree, has been lurking in the back of my mind. I couldn't quite bring myself to do anything more with it. Suggesting perhaps it wasn't ready for prime time. So, I let it percolate. I knew I wanted to organize what material I already had, figure out what I knew, record family stories and share all of this information with family members. Then I heard Drew Smith speak on using blogs to document family research at the FGS conference in Knoxville. He pointed out that if you used your blog as a research log it could be accessed from anywhere in the world (well, as long as you had a computer and an Internet connection). I was inspired.
It seems that inspiration was not enough. Then, finally, "my" family history blog finally clicked, not just in my mind but in my heart. What differentiates me from other genealogists is that I am a professionally trained historian. I am proud of my academic research and writing (visit The Scottish Emigration Blog to learn more) and enjoy it very much. However, at genealogical events I am slow to mention my background. When I do it's akin to admitting to something embarrassing (like having toilet paper stuck to your shoe) or to something troubling (like an addiction). Why? Because I have been told, directly and indirectly, that historians are incapable of doing genealogy. And, yes, I'm still upset about it.
Being an historian and a writer are both part of who I am. I can not disown either in this family history quest to be or do what some genealogists think I should. Consequently, this blog will document this historian's search for her ancestors, stories about family members, and thoughts about both disciplines. Please join me; it will be fun. Promise.

Hello Amanda - well, at one point my husband did tell me that he thought my fascination with genealogy was a good addition to my addiction to history. Or was it the other way 'round? Anyhow, I am happy to see your blog and will follow it for hints and hurrahs. Puritannymous

Welcome to the Geneabloggers community. I will be anxious to read this blog, and I will check out your Scots emmigration blog, too. I live in a town founded by Scots Irish Presbyterians, and I have some Hebridean Scots in my family tree who arrive here via Canada. You definitely don't need to win a lottery to do this. I started as a teen by researching at a free archive, and I'm still doing this on a minimum budget. Maybe you need to win a "Time Lottery" though! LOL!

Hi Amanda,
This is an exciting and excellent addition that I am sure many people, including myself, will benefit from.
I would suggest that one HAS to become something of a 'historian' in order to accurately pursue one's personal genealogy - surely it is only by learning something about the context in which we find our ancestors that we can hope to truly appreciate their lives?
All the best,

Hi Amanda! I can not imagine why anyone would say that a historian is incapable of doing genealogy ~ I would think a historian would be extra qualified to do genealogy! So often I wish I knew more about certain aspects of history as I work on my genealogy.
I had the chance to visit Scotland (my father's side has quite a bit of Scottish ancestry) a number of years ago and would love to go again..but like you I'm waiting on the lottery for that.

I have always thought that the best skills to bring into genealogy were those of a historian and a librarian. I brought neither, but I do rely on my husband to help me out in areas of history where I have little in-depth knowledge. Welcome to the genealogy blogging community!

Survey: Economic Challenges, Emerging Markets, and Talent Constraints Preoccupy Chemical Industry CEOs
12:33 PM MST | March 2, 2012 | Sotirios Frantzanas
PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) has published its 15th annual global CEO survey, which includes interviews with 88 CEOs from chemical companies across 29 countries. The survey shows that only 10% of chemical CEOs think the global economy will improve in 2012. The CEOs cite weak demand in industrialized economies, a slowdown in emerging economies, and greater volatility. However, 39% of chemical CEOs are very confident they can boost revenues over the next year and 51% are confident of boosting revenues over the next three years, PwC says. Chemical CEOs' confidence...

Barrow bike thieves exploit smartphone app Strava to locate targets
Last updated at 17:31, Friday, 14 December 2012
CYCLISTS have been urged to check settings on phone app Strava to make sure it can't be used by thieves who want to steal their bikes.
A meeting of the Barrow Community Safety Partnership at Barrow Fire Station yesterday heard that criminals are suspected to have used the internet logs created by the app to help locate where bikes are stored.
Superintendent Mark Pannone and Inspector Ian McClymont, from Cumbria Police, said Strava gives users the ability to 'mask' certain areas of their cycle routes, such as where they live.
They said cyclists should always check the settings on their app, which allows riders to share their routes and performances online, and could be leading thieves to the home of keen cyclists.
Supt Pannone said: "It seems criminals have been using Strava to find out where owners of good quality cycles live.
"There is some debate internally but we don't believe there is a Mr Big taking all the bike parts in Barrow. People around here seem to ride more expensive bikes than other parts of the UK, and there have been cases of people further down the North West coming up to steal bikes. People have been arrested heading back towards Liverpool with bikes stolen from around the South Lakes."
Cumbria police are launching a crackdown on bike thefts in Barrow and have been performing stops on cyclists and urging people to use locks.
In recent weeks, eight men were arrested and a haul of stolen bikes worth more than £8,000 were recovered.
Insp McClymont said: "It's a shame because people will spend time researching the specifications of the bikes they want and look at all the parts, and we have people riding around on £1,500 bikes, and they can be stolen so quickly. There will always be more determined thieves with bolt croppers but if they would just spend £5 on a lock it would deter the younger thieves.
"We have been working with bike shops in the run up to Christmas to encourage them to offer locks cheaply. After Christmas we will also be encouraging people to get their bikes marked, which will make it easier to recover them."
Supt Pannone added: "Owners will always have the responsibility to lock it or lose it."
Efforts were made to contact Strava. But no-one was available for a comment. Anyone with any information about stolen bikes is asked to contact police on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Have your say
Here's a quick video showing how easy it is to lock down your security settings on Strava
Mine and my mothers bikes were stolen earlier this week by some scumbags, we were lucky enough to get them back due to the thieves getting too greedy and the police were already on to them. I don't think Strava is all to blame, I have never used the app and where the bikes were stolen from you have to know they were there. there are some very sly people around who are spotting people on expensive bikes and finding where they are storing them!

BioLogos Basics Video #8: Genetics
Some of the strongest evidence for the common ancestry of all life forms comes from genetics.
From the Archives: Evolution as a Scientific Theory
In common English usage, "theory" means something like "guess" or "hunch". In science, however, a theory is an idea that has stood the test of time.
What does the fossil record show?
Though the fossil record does not include every plant and animal that ever lived, it provides substantial evidence for the common descent of life via evolution. The fossil record is a remarkable gift for the study of nature.
What is Evolution?
The word evolution can be used in many ways, but in biology, it means descent with modification. In other words, small modifications occur at the genetic level (i.e. in DNA) when a new generation descends from its parents. Over many generations these modifications can result in significant differences from the ancestral population.
What is the genetic evidence for human evolution?
The more research that is done on DNA, the more evidence we find that all life is related.
The Changing Face of Evolutionary Theory?
Is evolution driven mainly by random genetic variation, or are there other factors at play? Michael Burdett reviews the scientific debate.
Series: Reviewing "Darwin's Doubt" (11 entries)
Saturday Science Links: December 6, 2014
Many of this week's science links happen at the wondrous intersection of mystery and discovery.
Series: Evolution Basics (50 entries)
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
A Plea to My Shepherds
... I would exhort these, my fellow conservative evangelical shepherds and thinkers, to set aside all reticence and fear, emerge from anonymity, and storm the forum of discourse, engaging this most pressing matter with vigor, equanimity, and humility. In doing so, know upfront that there will be few handrails to guide; you will not be building upon an extensive precedence of published conservative thought.
Evolution and Christian Faith Grantees Announced
Congratulations to the 37 winners of the Evolution & Christian Faith (ECF) grants competition! ECF is a new BioLogos program designed to support projects and network-building among scholars, church leaders, and parachurch organizations.
A Scientific Commentary on Genesis 7:11
Although committed to the principle of sola Scriptura, Calvin recognized that the Bible would have been written in terms its original recipients would have understood. Calvin inherited the medieval cosmology of his time, a way of viewing the world heavily influenced by Greek thought and one which was about to receive shocks from astronomers such as Copernicus and Galileo. But not just yet.
Where are the Transitional Fossils?
A common argument leveled against the theory of evolution is that scientists have not been able to produce transitional fossils that show the change of one species into another. In this podcast, we address a common misconception about what transitional fossils actually are.
Willing to be Wrong
The debate is often not about evidence, but about making sure that others do not transgress our interpretive boundaries and insist that we're wrong. We've bitten from the tree of knowledge and we love its taste.
Series: Decoding ENCODE (8 entries)
The BioLogos Foundation explains to the findings of the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) project and responds to the claims that its discoveries challenge the theory of evolution, especially regarding so-called "junk DNA".
Series: Biblical and Scientific Shortcomings of Flood Geology (6 entries)
Gregg Davidson and Ken Wolgemuth seek to remove the stumbling block of the Genesis flood in this four part series. Though many believe in an ancient world-wide flood, the evidence given does not hold up to geological scrutiny, but points rather to something regional instead. It is their hope that Christians will not walk away from faith in Christ simply because a global flood is not supported by science. Looking at natural phenomena like the Grand Canyon, salt beds, and fossil deposits, they reveal reasons for these deposits and structures while showing that their origin did not stem from a violent flood that covered the planet.
Denisovans, Humans and the Chromosome 2 Fusion
The Denisovans, an extinct hominid group that interbred with modern humans, made the news again lately with the publication of a more detailed study of their genome. One of the many interesting findings was that the Denisovans share the same chromosome 2 fusion that modern humans have.
David Lack and Darwin's Finches
Considering the immense popularity of "Darwin's finches", it is quite surprising to learn that Charles Darwin himself had very little to say about them. In fact, it was actually David Lack, one century later, who conducted the critical research that immortalized the finches in biology textbooks and popular lore.
Series: The Human Fossil Record (20 entries)
In this series, James Kidder provides an intriguing study on transitional fossils and the evolutionary history of modern humans. He begins by discussing the fossil record, explaining how new forms are classified. He then explains the physically distinguishing trait of humankind—bipedalism. From the discovery of Ardipithecus, the earliest known hominin, to the australopithecines, the most prolific hominin, Kidder focuses on the discovery, the anatomy, and the interpretation of these ancestral remains.

|The Intolerant Gourmet: Glorious Food without Gluten & Lactose
Barbara Kafka
Its estimated that nearly 1 in 3 North Americans is lactoseintolerant and that 1 in 133 is glutenntolerant, although many of these people remain undiagnosed. For those who do find out, the resulting dietary adjustments have traditionally been about restriction, denial, and deprivation. All these compromises drain the pleasure from eating.
Now, legendary food maven Barbara Kafka comes to the rescue with a complete souptonuts cookbook full of great food that you can enjoy every day. Barbaras own intolerances, dormant since childhood, returned five years ago, andas someone who was already intolerant of bad food, ersatz ingredients, and poor cookingshe rose to the challenge of being gluten- and lactose-intolerant with this collection of 300 recipes. They get you to crispy without resorting to breading or flour coatings, offer silkiness and richness without dairy, and feature luxurious textures in sauces and soups without flour or butter.
The book also features tools such as a guide to glutenfree pastas and a comprehensive section on starchestheir assets and detriments, the basic methods for preparing them, and the best ways of serving them.
Barbara Kafka is a former food editor of Vogue and a frequent contributor to The New York Times. She is the author of multiple cookbooks including the IACP and James Beard award-winning books Roasting and Microwave Gourmet. In 2007 the James Beard Foundation gave her its Lifetime Achievement Award. The Intolerant Gourmet has been nominated for a James Beard Award in the category of book with a healthy focus!

Nuclear receptors are a family of small molecule and hormone-regulated transcription factors that share conserved DNA-binding and ligand-binding domains. Small pharmacological compounds able to bind to the cleft of the ligand-binding domain could alter its conformation and subsequently modify transcription of target genes. Such ligand agonists and/or antagonists have already been successfully designed for 23 nuclear receptors among the 48 previously identified in the human genome (1-3). RORalpha (RORa ; RORA; NR1F1) is one of three related orphan nuclear receptors, including RORbeta (RORB ; RORB; NR1F2) and RORgamma (RORg; RORC; NR1F3), known as "Retinoic Acid Receptor-related orphan receptors" (4).
RORA has unusual potential as a therapeutic target for the "metabolic syndrome" which results in pathologies such as insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and a pro-inflammatory state, that greatly elevates the risk of diabetes and atherosclerosis (5).The related RORC demonstrates significant expression in metabolic tissues such as liver, adipose, and skeletal muscle (6). These two receptors are implicated in several key aspects of this metabolic pathogenesis. For instance, the staggerer mouse, which carries a homozygous germline inactivation of RORA, shows low body weight, high food consumption (7-9), elevated angiogenesis in response to ischemia (10), susceptibility to atherosclerosis (9), and an abnormal serum lipid profile (11). RORG null mice exhibit normal plasma cholesterol levels, but when bred with the RORA staggerer mice, the resulting RORalpha/gamma knockout exhibits hypoglycemia not found in the single mutant animals. These studies reveal the functional redundancy of RORa and RORg in regulating blood glucose levels and highlight the need for RORalpha/gamma ligands that can bind to these receptors and modulate their transcriptional activity (12,13).

Assay Overview:
The purpose of this assay is to determine whether a powder sample of an RORA inverse agonist probe candidate is nonselective due to activation of LXR. This dose response assay employs the LXR-expressing cell line from a GAL4 nuclear receptor library. In this assay, HEK293T cells co-transfected with a GAL4DBD-LXRLBD construct (GAL4-LXR) and a GAL4UAS-luciferase reporter construct are incubated for 18-24 hours with test compounds. The presence in this cell line of required co-activators allows the expression of luciferase driven by activated LXR nuclear receptors. As designed, compounds that activate LXR activity will activate the GAL4-LXR construct, thereby increasing GAL4DBD-mediated activation of the GAL4UAS-luciferase reporter, leading to an increase in well luminescence. Compounds were tested in a 10-point dilution series starting at a nominal concentration of 10 uM.
Protocol Summary:
Luciferase reporter assays were conducted using a pBind GAL4DBD-LXRLBD construct and UAS luciferase reporter cotransfected into HEK293T cells. Reverse transfections were performed in bulk using 4E6 cells in 10 cm plates, 9 ug of total DNA and FuGene6 (Roche) in a 1:3 DNA: lipid ratio. Following 24 hour bulk transfection, cells from were counted and re-plated in 384 well plates at a density of 10,000 cells/well. Following 4 hour incubation, cells were treated with DMSO/compounds for 20 hours. The luciferase levels were measured by addition of BriteLite Plus (Perkin Elmer). Data was normalized to luciferase signal from DMSO treated cells.
For each test compound, percent activation was plotted against compound concentration. A four parameter equation describing a sigmoidal dose-response curve was then fitted with adjustable baseline using GraphPad Prism. The reported EC50 values were calculated from GraphPad Prism software.
PubChem Activity Outcome and Score:
Compounds with an EC50 greater than 10 uM were considered inactive. Compounds with an EC50 equal to or less than 10 uM were considered active.
Any compound with a fold change > 0.7 at all test concentrations was assigned an activity score of zero. Any compound with a fold change <= 0.7 at any test concentration was assigned an activity score greater than zero. Activity score was then ranked by the potency, with the most potent compounds assigned the highest activity scores.
The PubChem Activity Score range for inactive compounds is 0-0. There are no active compounds.
List of Reagents:
384 well plates (PerkinElmer, part 6007688)
Britelite Plus (PerkinElmer, part 6016767)
DMEM (Mediatech Inc, Part 10 013 CV)
Fugene 6 (Roche Applied Science, part 11814443001)
This assay was performed by the assay provider. This assay may have been run as two or more separate campaigns, each campaign testing a unique set of compounds. In this case the results of each separate campaign were assigned "Active/Inactive" status based upon that campaign's specific compound activity cutoff value. All data reported were normalized on a per-plate basis. Possible artifacts of this assay can include, but are not limited to: dust or lint located in or on wells of the microtiter plate, or compounds that modulate well luminescence. All test compound concentrations reported above and below are nominal; the specific test concentration(s) for a particular compound may vary based upon the actual sample provided.

What is the significance (if any) of the title of Kaagaz Ke Phool?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Movies & TV Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for movie and tv enthusiasts. It's 100% free, no registration required.
An interpretation of the title Kaagaz ke phool (exact translation means "Paper flowers".) Bees look for honey and hunt for flowers. A song from movie "Dekhi zamaane ki yaari" says "Oh thirsty bees, fly away from here these are all Paper flowers (naturally they don't have what the bees are searching for!"). So this name suits the movie in a way that it's saying the world as artificial paper flowers.

If it's for their entry into the AISC competition, shouldn't the engineering students be the ones welding it together? (are you an engineering student at NJIT?). If the rules are anything like Formula SAE, it's cheating to have a pro do the welding. If somebody told me to weld that "as-is" and put my name on the finished work (sloppy fitup on fishmouths/copes, mill scale not cleaned off, tacks look they were done by a newb) I would politely tell them "No". Hate to sound like a di*k, but reputation is everything in the small world of D17.1 work - It's a mistake to associate your name/rep with a poor quality finished product.
If it HAS to be welded as-is with the mill scale I wouldn't TIG it at all. There's simply no way to make a good TIG weld with bad prep. O/A and RG45 filler is a little more forgiving of joint gaps and mill scale and is normalized as welded - No PWHT necessary.2007 Miller Dynasty 200 DX

Thx for the friendly response....no, they are students that design the bridge over the past 9 months or so. They then look for companies to donatetime, materials etc. One company donated the steel. One company donated the welding(my company), one company donated the machining(for the fixture). They paid for the fittings(somewhere around $12,000. All aspects of the bridge are designed by two captains with the input of the "bridge team" and professor. Then, when the time comes they come to my shop and we do a hands on build together. Generally I help them transfer ideas they have on Autocad/Solidworks and paper into the real world where there are always small details that are overlooked. This is a technology school and they are civil engineering students. They are not required to take welding classes. The mechanical engineering does a dune buggy competition but this is different. There is also a time frame usually when this comes around. This year we have 3 weeks to build it start to finish. That's not a lot of time. There isn't really time to be "**** retentive". Generally the bridge is an educated guess that's trying to compete in and win with light weight, aesthetics , assembly time, and function(load test, lateral movement test and a cantilever test). The welding is a bit overkill to be honest. Unfortunately you had to reply by being a negative Nancy and thinking this is a space ship going to NASA. Fortunately it's only a student bridge that is never going to be used for more than a one time competition. These students are very gifted and last year it one the regionals. That was my first year TIG welding this material. . Dave

I replied on the project section today but I guess you quit checking it. Do you have any finished pictures of what you did last year? I was wondering what one of these looks like in a completed state. I know you will post pictures of this one when it's finished, but wanted to see a previous one, ready for judging.

That is so cool!
This was my first year working with the Cal State University at Northridge. I had been working with the build/assy team for 2 months teaching mig at the college, and 3 months with the tig team tig welding the entire bridge in my shop. There were 3 tig stations active at any one time with 8 or so kids burning rod. This being my first time as advisor it was pretty nerve racking, I will tell you. Ugly as they were, the welds were successful and the bridge came in underweight. Shrinkage and distortion were their biggest foes by far.
The took 5 out of 6 catagories and won overall championship in their division. I believe their next competition is coming up soon. They should be sending me an invite to their celebration banquet soon. Or so they say.

B.W.H. was an Italo-disco project featuring Carlo Favilli and Stefano Zito. B.W.H. only produced one single, "Livin' Up," on House of Music, a subsidiary of Best Record. The B-side to that single, "Stop," is today's featured track. Favilli and Zito were hugely influential in the Italo-disco scene. In addition to B.W.H., the production duo were credited on several releases, often by bands put together for a single song/release. Some of these include Mr. Master and Blackway (who also released music with Helene).
Several other musicians/performers have claimed involvement with these releases, most notably DJ and producer Casco (aka Salvatore Cusato) who is rumored to have used the pseudonym C. Salomone as a session musician. More recent represses of B.W.H. and Blackway releases have been titled as "Casco Presents…" In fact, the level to which Zito and Favilli actually contributed is disputed. Nevertheless, almost everything that Zito and Favilli worked on (including solo projects) is very good Italo-disco and comes highly recommended.

I'm halfway through, and enjoying thoroughly:
"The D Programming Language" by Andrei Alexandrescu:
D is heavily based on C++, but attempts to modernize the language while still keeping a focus on efficiency and systems level programming. It's an interesting language, with a lot to like about it for those who want to keep as close to the C++ spirit while still breaking away from backward compatibility and avoiding the messiness of C++0x.
I've previously read the earlier book "Learn to Tango with D" which is a good fast intro to the language, but recently D underwent a fairly dramatic change, labeled itself D 2.0, and this book is a much different fish. Alexandrescu's book is deep, interesting, and serious. It's a great book for those of us who are perhaps not as much interested in USING the language, but are keenly interested in programming language design decisions. Very enjoyable reading, especially coming from a C++ background.
i'll note that this represents a redemption of Alexandrescu in my mind, since his previous book that i've read, Modern C++ Design: Generic Programming and Design Patterns Applied represented an impressively cool and twisted book on the use of C++ template programming that i think serves as a good example of exactly how not to program.

I bought a new Millermatic 185 5 years ago and only have it for around the home projects. It sits in a non heated garage in a northern climate, but it has some heat some of the time. I have not used an 11 lb spool of wire yet.
Thje problem is that now when I go to use it the wire folds between the feeder and the feeder hose. If I frig around and pull some out it will work for awhile.
Does the wire get some corrosion or does the feeder hose corrode inside or has anyone elsehad this problem?

I put a piece of brillo pad with a cloth pin before you pullys on the wire and that helps with the rust on the wire. As the wire feeds in the the brillo pad cleans the wire and the cloth pin keeps tension on the pad. Good luck
Brillo dust will just fill up the gun liner, replace the roll and be done with it...

Shinjuku Recommendations??
Hello All,
I will be moving to the Shinjuku area (about a 10 minute walk north of the train station) for four months starting in January and would love to hear some recommendations for all sorts of goodies in the local area and any recommendations for the greater Tokyo area as well. I would love to try anything and everything during my time there. Thanks guys
I lived in Shinjuku for a year and a half and plenty of great places.
Isetan depachika (for everything)
Takashimaya depachika (check out the focaccia and ciabatta at Peck)
Tempura Tsunahachi
Tonkatsu Santa
Takano Fruits
Saiseisakaba for offal cuisine
and some great antenna shops offering local cuisine from
(these two shops are just outside the south exit)
For a treat, go to the Park Hyatt Tokyo for the New York Bar and Grill or Kozue.
re: Yukari
I have been intriguated in this Tonkatsu "santa". Passing by in Shinjuku, my choice was on the mix fry lunch set at 2,200 yens : 2 schrimps (normal size sort of "precut'), scallop, pork fillet, croquette (so-so home made)… The crust is slice bread handmade cutted and gives a nice flake crust, fried in oil added with lard, served with akamiso, thin sliced cabbage as usual… Sauce is just ordinary. After this decription and details, the interesting part : the cooking chef ! The kitchen apron of that ones was durty. A let go, in my opinion, a lost of engagement. Butagumi is far better.
Continuing… the offal food reminds me of the Roma banquet, extravagant Satiricon, and its sensational : white parfumed offals, stuffed vulva,… ans that was our choice for a after diner. Surprisingly, it wasn't difficult to choose between the red/white offals, everything was very fresh and very convivial : a set, ox tongue, pork lever with leeks and sesame oil,… In one word : thanks !.
re: Ninisix
Stuffed vulva? Must be in Kabukicho!
re: Uncle Yabai
I dunno. . . there's a bar in Shinsaibashi called vulva. :-)
(I suspect Ninisix means uterus)
re: prasantrin
What is the relation ? The DVD series "Roma" describe the period more than our current logic "eye". The banquet Satiricon is as sensational, and among surprising the offals… Not sure that the use of the on-line translation will help…
re: Ninisix
this is not directly in shinujuku, but it's on the shinjukuline...
Yamariki sells extremely gross stuff, prepared in an extremely gross way. I must add that I am 100% ignorant to anything horumon, but piggy brains and rectum cooked tender in a saucepot that has not been cleaned for 40 years (yes, as in: same broth for 40 years now. no: not a figure of speech, really the same broth) seems....well...interesting?
Get off at Morishita-Eki on Toei Shinjuku Line
re: Ninisix
In terms of food, I don't think vulva are ever used, at least not that I've ever seen on a menu. Vulva are the mostly visible portions of a female's private parts. It would be pretty hard to stuff them, I think, and if you did, it would most certainly only be an appetizer portion. On a pig, see http://pigsinfrance.com/index.php?opt... (non-offensive picture).
The uterus is the part of a female in which a fetus grows. Uteri are often seen on menus, Asian in particular, and in my research, I did find reference to stuffed pig's uterus:
"According to the invaluable Unmentionable Cuisine of Calvin W. Schwabe, membranes, pancreas, testicles and what he calls scraps (what can be left?) all have their celebrants. He even provides a Roman recipe for a stuffed pig's uterus."
re: Ninisix
Ninisix, are you writing your posts in English first, or are you translating from another language to English using a computer translator?
re: racer x
Thanks Prasantin for your post, referring to the `pigs in France`. Coming to the technical explanation, not far here the links in relation :
'Toussaint-Samat's tome titled simply History of Food mentions the delicacy of a sow's vulva' in Beer with sausages of Michigan`s article. http://www.michiganbeerguide.com/news...
[[the Romans were true gastronomes. They appreciated in particular a dish somewhat forgotten but which can always become trendy again: "I'd read that the ancient Romans' favorite-and choicest-dish was stuffed sow's vulva." (53)]] http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi...
Well, I would like to stop this subject, otherwise it will be abject….
re: Uncle Yabai
That is hilarious! i'm salivating
I recommend exploring the Kabukicho area, which has a myriad of cheap comfort food places. Many are open 24 hrs. And if you're 10 minutes north of the station, you are either in or close to the Okubo area which has a high density of Korean restaurants, including Korean street food stalls. I think it has surpassed Kawasaki in terms of the size of it's ethnic Korean concentration.
re: Silverjay
Sounds great guys. Any specific dishes or items I must try at these spots??
re: FoodDude2
In Okubo, I like Ton-chan - a very porky type of grill your own meat shop. It's quite cheap, smokey, loud and fun.
Somewhere on the nishi-shinjuku side (somewhat behind Bic Camera) is a good ramen shop that serves huge portions of chashiu. I'll try my best to remember the name, but right now I'm completely brain dead.
re: lost squirrel
A cinema is closed in the sector of Kabukicho in Shinjuku, after the last train of midnight, is not a place to stay.
If you want to try to cook and use the Japanese ingredients, the best price value is the department Odakyu HALC for their Japanese beef and their fish choices. The bakery SUMINOE is a knock out ! On the other hand it is difficult to access. To access, on the 1st floor of the Main Building Odakyu, behind the stand Chanel, take the stairs on the lower level.
On the area of West Shinjuku, if you want to try your first ramen :
- http://ramendb.supleks.jp/shop/83 ramen Musashi.
- http://ramendb.supleks.jp/shop/164 ramen Kuromon
Route : get down the avenue on your right and go straight… it will be 50 meters after the crossing of Tomin Bank, on your right for the Ramen Musashi and on your left for the other one.
re: lost squirrel
Lost Squirrel, is this the place you meant?
re: racer x
There must have been about 3 pounds of pork in that bowl (hard to believe, but one of the slabs was thicker than my two hands pressed together). Just 1400 yen.
Well, even if it isn't the same place, it seems to be fairly popular -- I noticed it because there were so many people entering.
re: racer x
That's not it. I just ran through all the shops on this site and couldn't find it:
The place I'm thinking of offers a huge piece of pork, grilled like a pork chop and placed on top of the bowl. I really wish I could remember the name.
I have a few months before the original poster leaves the country - I'll figure out sooner or later ! :-)
re: lost squirrel
Manrai, Horiuchi and Takaraya are the only three places in that little area between Bic and that big east-west street to the north of it, that serve large amounts of pork. Manrai is the place in Racer_x's pictures, and Horiuchi is basically a clone of Manrai. Neither of them grills the pork IIRC. If you are saying it's grilled, you may be thinking of Takaraya:
re: kamiosaki
Well done kamiosaki! That is the place I was referring to. I went a few years ago and I enjoyed it.
Just another thought, did anyone mention Shomben Yokocho (Piss Alley) ?
Some interesting food in there.

My old pipepro 304 i could always find the sweet spot but having a ***** of a time finding it on this new 350.
If i run 7010/8010 i run my dig at 9ish
If i run 18 rod i run it at 2 on dig for both posi welds and rolling pipe
I have tried 4,6, 7 for dig and everything seems way out of wack?
I put 2/0 for my whip and bought new grounds and stingers etc etc
But dont want to have to keep changing my dig after different rods!
So what are you guys running your digs at?

I've got the same welder and love it! I use 3 for dig on both XX10 and 7018. Haven't had any issues on pipe or structural. If I run into a tight gap, I turn it up to 6 for XX10.
