Ethnographic realism
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (October 2014)
Within the field of anthropology and other social sciences, ethnography is a genre of writing used to describe human interactions. Ethnographic realism is a style of ethnographic writing that narrates the author's experiences and observations as if the reader was witnessing or experiencing events first hand. A work written using ethnographic realism may be referred to as a realist ethnography, and classified as a subgenre of ethnography.
Styles of ethnographic realism[edit]
George Marcus and Dick Cushman described and categorized realist ethnographies under certain characteristics.[1]
- Totalizing description
- Omniscient narration
- Native interpretation
- Generalizations
- Jargon

lacking certification or info on mattress
The mattresses seem to be good quality. I called the manufacturer because the product did not contain any certification except that it was made in the US. The manufacturer responded promptly. Apparently most mattresses in the US are made by a few manufacturers who work for a number of companies. I heard that soy based mattresses are not necessarily more healthy or more environmentally friendly than conventional ones, I recommend researching this yourself. In any case only a small portion of the mattress is soy based, the mattress is made of polyurethane.Read More
Wonderful quality
I was a bit worried that the product would be of poor "disposable" quality but was pleasantly surprised that the foam mattress was firm yet comfortable. No odor. The mattress assumes its shape right away upon unpacking. This is for the upper bunk where a regular inner-spring mattress would be too high to be safe as the rail would not be tall enough to provide a reasonable level of safety. I'd recommend it to all!Read More
fit trundle bed
these fit perfectly in my trundle bed, filled out nicely when taken out of the box, i let them sit out for a couple days before putting sheets on. very firm for only being 6 inches.Read More
I love this mattress I bought it for the top bunk of my girls bunk bed. I got it via UPS and it was rolled up into a box whenever I unrolled it the mattress immediately formed to normal size. It didn't have any oder.... my Serta for my bed and my sons had a weird scent when we first bought them. This mattress had aloe vera written all over it so I am guessing it was made with aloe vera inside. I put the mattress on the top bunk before we went out tonight and when I got home and my youngest daughter crawled into bed she immediately fell asleep, that's got to be a great sign. The mattress is actually nicer in person from the picture it looked really boxy and foamy. In person it looks like a normal twin mattress and i very firm and sturdy! I was looking at a cheaper bunk bed mattress but I am glad I went with this one the value is great!Read More
Good and Good for You
Great firm bunk bed mattress. Easy to move to change the sheets. Firm so it needs no foundation, and best of all, it is made from soy. Therefore, there are no harmful chemicals released (off-gassing) from the very beginning. Great peace of mind for a parent and great fun for a child.Read More
Good value
After several month of use I can say with confidence that the description of the mattress holds its promise. The mattress is firm but still comfortable to lay on. Worth the money.Read More
This was a snap, log in, look for the item, purchased and the delivery was exceptionally quick. My kids love it and it is very comfortable.Read More
Not As Described
The description of the reversible 6" bunk bed mattress clearly states that it is made of natural soy-based foam, however the tag on the mattress states urethane foam. Also this mattress is rock hard. Useless waste of money.Read More

buyer reviews
this foam mattress is look good and I read publick kaments
Is this for one twin size or two?
Hello alext17, this is only for one mattress that can fit in a bunk bed. Thank you for shopping with us.
Someone mentioned in a review that the tag on the mattress says this item is not made from soy foam but from chemical foam. Is this true? I know the web says soy but is the statement true?
Thank you for shopping with us juliav3. I will post the information as soon as it is available. Have a great day.
Thank you for shopping with us juliav3. This product is made from high density polyurethane foam and does not have any soy in it. Sorry for the misinformation.
Do you need a bunkie board with this mattress? My bunk bed does not have slats. Thank you.
No, the bunk bed mattress keeps its true form and will not compress. It should be like any regular mattress.
what is the density of the foam?
Very firm, more firm than "memory foam". Personally I think it is extremely comfortable. I could not find a descriptive tag on the mattress.
Can this bed be used unstacked?
This is a twin-size mattress only. The bunk beds are not included.

I had an interesting dream today around noon. I was sleeping in bed since 5 p.m. on Monday, the previous day. I went to bed around 1:30 a.m. Monday morning, but unfortunately, I failed to fall asleep. I remained alert in bed trying to fall asleep until 5 p.m. that day, when I finally fell alseep and slept until around 12:15 p.m. today, which is why I guess the dream happened around noon.
This morning I had totally awesome higher power superpower dreams.
It started off at Mizar Place where I was in a really weird altered state and my brother and Dad didn't trust me with anything dangerous. I was standing in the kitchen. They were in the dining room. While in my altered state, I tried to explain to them that I knew what danger was. I used the stove as an example. I explained that the burner was hot and the pilot light had to stay lit or otherwise gas would escape and catch fire.
It was nighttime.
Then there was a super loud arcing noise coming from what sounded like miles away. Just super loud electrical sparking type noise. So Dad and I went to investigate. We drove several blocks and about half a mile through residential neighborhoods until we found a military zone full of security guards, then we found the source of the noise.
There was a huge gigantic antenna about 300 feet tall that had been built behind the backyard of a house in the grass of the elementary school schoolyard. Somehow then we were behind the house in the schoolyard, close enough to see the flashes of light coming from inside the house and that the sparks were being channeled through a ducting system that was connected to an amplifier unit and broadcast in all directions through some kind of ultra, ultra loud and elaborate public address system in the schoolyard, as well as through the radio antenna.
There was a military cop that greeted us. Dad had a black Colt .45 semi-automatic pistol and I had a small silver-colored .22 semi-automatic pistol with a wooden grip. The cop asked us if we had permits for the guns. Dad said he did but that I didn't. The MP asked for my gun. I handed it to him without resistance, but felt really stupid after the fact because I gave it to him barrel first - unfortunately pointed in his general direction. He took it without incident, but I felt embarrassed for not pointing the barrel toward the ground in the process.
Then we tried to figure out what the gigantic antenna was for. Dad guessed that it was classified but he said he thought it had something to do with extending the range of antennas at Vandenberg Air Force Base.
Then we drove to Vandenberg and when we arrived it was suddenly daytime. It was clear that there was something big going on. There were all kinds of advanced rotorless aircraft flying around really slowly and low to the ground.
Dad and I and my brother and one of his friends were in a van. We saw a helicopter-like aircraft fly really low by us and we could see the pilot through the windows. It was a really beautiful woman with medium length blonde hair. She wasn't wearing a helmet.
Then all of sudden, the beautiful woman was in the van with us. She explained that she was able to sneak up on us without a sound and enter the van without even opening the door. She explained that they had advanced nanotechnology and the ability to move and reassemble atoms very quickly.
Then she took us to a place where there were spaceships from aliens and they said that we were selected as part of a small group of people that would now go with the aliens. She took us inside one of the alien spaceships.
The inside of the spaceship took us to another world that was filled with ancient hieroglyphics and giant aliens.
They explained that they had been looking for a human god to control the spaceship, and I naturally didn't want the job because I had so many flaws and limitations. Then they took me to the alien god who was in charge of the spaceship. He said, "This is for you and your list of limitations."
I was trying to explain to Dad that they had advanced nanotechnology and that they could do anything to us and then return us to perfect health. I tried to explain that there was nothing to fear because we had already been scanned.
Then we were in a giant building that went on forever and it was filled with sleeping mummies that were starting to come back to life in perfect health. I remember saying that I would like to be the walls and floor of that building.
Suddenly all the walls to the whole building turned into solid gold, and all the floors turned into gold colored marble with an interesting continuous grain. It was all beautiful.
Then the aliens started demonstrating that they could kill us and revive us to perfect health, even better than we were before.
Then things started attacking us. There was some kind of dog like creature running towards me. I just stood there waiting to see what would happen, knowing that I would be fine. Then a group of four aliens were coming towards me. Again, I stood my ground and didn't run.
They attacked me and did some damage then quickly called off their attack and walked away slowly and peacefully, and I was repaired to full health. The whole process was painless and I never lost consciousness.
A bunch of stuff happened that is escaping my memory, but the last words of the dream were from the inside of a golden palace and the leader of the aliens said to me, "You're immortal soul is with us, the angels."
Then I woke up.

I had really cool dreams this morning, but unfortunately I don't remember much of them.
I interacted with many beautiful intelligent characters, male and female, and they all said with great enthusiasm and empathy but gently apologetically as if sorry to disappoint that they were me. "We're You!", they said excitedly but with a tinge of sadness at the implications for my sense of loneliness.
In one part of the dream an invisible dream guide was testing my dream hearing. He was talking to me in sentences over and over again and different levels of volume, down to a point where I couldn't quite make out what he was saying, then up to a point where I could hear him again. He would say a sentence, then I'd repeat it back to him, until I couldn't make the sentences out anymore. It's like he was testing my internal dialog volume level to determine the lowest level that I could perceive. Subliminals. Calibrations. Very interesting. I wonder what they're up to.
I really had cool FANTASY dreams this morning.
In one, I was in a library and there was a section where every book was an interesting and novel and revealing look at thinking and being creative. The illustrations were all beautiful and complex.
I got a handful of the books.
Then I took them to my warehouse loft apartment in the dream.
There was a woman there.
In one part of the dream I was explaining to the woman that I was really smart but that I had a disability. I said originally I thought that I could do whatever I set my mind to, but because of my disability, I would have to focus on FANTASY instead of math and science and programming and SECURITY.
Then I went outside of the loft to the roof of the building. There was a hole going through the roof to a lower floor. When I stood over the hole, it went on forever, there was like a lighted crystalline miniature city in the hole. Everything was really fragile. I reached down with my right hand and touched a miniature lighted skyscraper and it tipped over and came to rest at an angle against another miniature lighted skyscraper.
Then a demon being came out of the hole and took me over. Suddenly, I looked like the demon being, and my real body appeared separately. The demon being said that we were going to be in switched bodies for 30 days.
Then there was one part of the dream where I realized that it had been 2 weeks since I had contacted my family. I wanted to call my Dad. There was a huge video screen and some phone numbers appeared and they said they were calling Dad. But the numbers were in a different format than Dad's number. I explained to them that my Dad's number was in a different format. Then they decided that we would go there instead.
Then there was a young kid with me and we were in a car on 4 lane freeway headed North towards my Dad's house. The kid didn't know how to drive and we were weaving all over the place in heavy traffic. It was very dramatic. Finally, we pulled off at an offramp and ended up standing on a hill above some church grounds. We were about 200 feet away from the door of the church on a hill and there was another hole in the ground in front of the church. The kid fired an Estes rocket toward the hole, it flew through the air but landed on the edge of the hole and caught on fire. It just kept burning. Then the hole was filled with dirty slushy snow and something started raising out of the ground.
It was a green alien lizard/humanoid being with big yellow eyes. He complained that he wanted to be left to rot in his eternal sleep and didn't want to be woken up.
Those are the details that I can remember.
When I woke up, I felt like I had just had a great FANTASY dream.
I was on a sidewalk along the beach and there were vendor stands and there was an outdoor club that was having a party.
A gorgeous woman at a stand walked over to me and kissed me on the lips. She said something like, "I want to have a test."
Then some other people started talking to me.
Then we went to the outdoor club and there was a cover charge. They said we could come in temporarily without paying a cover. She gave me a little sticker. I didn't have a shirt on.
I went to the back of the club and there were some racks of clothes. I was looking for a T-shirt. Then I went to another room and there was a large yellow T-shirt on a rack. I put it on.
On my way back outside, I saw a mirror and could see that I looked really fat, as my stomach was sticking out. Then somebody said the T-shirt was dirty and smelled like body odor. I smelled it and agreed. I took it back and put it on a hangar. I went to the back and found some brand new T-shirts that were on sale. I put one on and it fit. Then I went outside.
I went to the person who was checking tickets and asked her what I was supposed to do with the sticker. She said I should just put the sticker on and not worry about paying a cover charge.
Then there was a little guy at a desk selling breath mints. Remembering having gotten the kiss from the beautiful woman, I decided to buy some breath mints. When I was handing the guy a couple of quarters, I dropped one. When I looked down on the ground in the dirt, there were lots of other quarters and nickels and dimes on the ground. I began collecting them. I dug a little bit more into the dirt and there were more.
Then the phone rang and I woke up. It was the Highline Bookstore letting me know that my books and parking pass are ready.
Put all Congressional 1920 x 1080 HD video feeds into permanent ram and make available for i.p. multicast with frame-level streaming precision. Serve the global PUBLIC INTEREST. OPEN it up. Make it TRANSPARENT. Make it FREE. Politicians are just a bunch of idealistic droids anyways. Might as well get used to living in the cloud for all eternity on random access video.Here is a petition that I closed.
We in this case is We the People. We won't need much of a defense industry if they take up my banking SUGGESTIONS. We can make life in petrostates very PLEASANT even if they are only selling enough oil to make paved roads. We can take care of the coal miners and FOR PROFIT bankers while retiring their industries and making them OBSOLETE. We can buy EVERYBODY new cars while RESPONSIBLY disposing of the old ones. We can upgrade the global communications and energy infrastructure immediately. We can make paved roads and ensure that clean and fresh water and electricity are available to EVERYBODY EVERYWHERE. We can bring the POOR into modernity immediately. We can eliminate POVERTY, DEBT and all TAXATION in one fell swoop.
When they let me DRIVE, I always just ask them what they want me to do or say or type? The situation repeats over and over again. When I'm not controlled, I'm volunteering to be controlled. I TRUST my HIGHER POWERS. I BELIEVE in the BENEVOLENCE of the scientific community. I have FAITH that when they are DRIVING I am serving the GREATER GOOD of We the People. I am the ultimate PLEASER. I come bearing GIFTS. I have GOOD NEWS. I have CAREFULLY analyzed the situation and to the best of my UNDERSTANDING, this is what YOU WANT and this what YOU NEED. YOU in this case is We the People. My name is Ken and I am addressing the PUBLIC.
Is there any way I can make my situation more USEFUL to others? Is there anything I can do to be more HELPFUL? How can I be more CONSTRUCTIVE? How can I do this in the way that is the most BENEFICIAL for others? I leave it up to YOU to HELP me to be as socially and ecologically RESPONSIBLE as possible. I will be exceptionally OPEN and TRANSPARENT.

How Does Gallagher Spell Relief? W-A-L-K-I-N-G...
I delayed my end-of-homestand post for a day so I could see how Sean Gallagher followed up on his brilliant outing from last week.
The results? Mixed.
Gallagher retired the first ten Fresno hitters he faced. He entered the sixth having surrendered only one run and retired the first two routinely before an infield single dripped from the faucet. A stolen base followed, then an intentional walk, then an accidental walk and Gallagher called it a night, leaving the bases loaded and the water running for Carmen Pignatiello.
Channeling his lone big league appearance of the season before being dispatched to Iowa, 'Piggy' walked both of the batters who stood in against him. With the water now rising quickly, Randy Wells waded right in and served up a grand slam to the first guy he faced and the ballgame floated away.
All five of Gallagher's whiffs on the night were swinging, giving him seventeen straight of that variety over his last two starts. He seems to be foolin' people.
Five starts and 30 innings into the season and Gallagher is sporting a .196 BAA. Good stuff.
Jose Ascanio also continues to impress. He's saved six of the team's eleven wins, and the I-Cubs are 9-1 when he appears in a game.
Neal Cotts is 2-0 with a 2.08 ERA so far. Versus lefties he's allowed only two hits in five frames while walking one and fanning seven.
Those three hurlers are the only silver linings this prospector has found on the club.
Jake Fox has somehow managed to produce 18 runs with his 15 hits, but his BA has plummeted to .169 for the year. In the last ten games he's 2/38 [.053]. Want more? He's tagging southpaws at an .063 clip [1/16].
Patterson's on the DL with the hammy he strained last week, Fuld still isn't playing due to his bad thumb and Hoffpauir remains a fond memory from last year.
Old war-horse Les Walrond got his walking papers yesterday in favor of Justin Berg who was promoted from Tennessee where he'd been 0-3 with a 3.49 ERA in five starts.
The pesky redhead should be back with the team when they return from the road on May 6. I can only hope...MW
Re: How Does Gallagher Spell Relief? W-A-L-K-I-N-G...
When are we going to start the "Let Cotts play" campaign?
Re: How Does Gallagher Spell Relief? W-A-L-K-I-N-G...
As soon as Eyre comes back and (predictably) gets pounded.
Re: How Does Gallagher Spell Relief? W-A-L-K-I-N-G...
Re: How Does Gallagher Spell Relief? W-A-L-K-I-N-G...
It'll take a lot of dominating AAA, and his peripherals will have to be great, to convince me that he doesn't still suck.
Re: So Far
Lou looks like a genius for the team he selected from Spring Training. With few exceptions, the guys he returned to the minors have performed like crap down there.
Re: How Does Gallagher Spell Relief? W-A-L-K-I-N-G...
Great writeup, as always!
promoted from the other thread...
pitcher James Russell already up to AA. I know AZ Phil did a write-up on him, but 14th round pick last year is already in AA. 6-4", 205, 22 years old lefty was 1-1 with a 2.05 ERA at Hi-A Daytona, 27.1 IP, 25 H, 14 K, 7 BB, 2 HR as a starter.
Re: How Does Gallagher Spell Relief? W-A-L-K-I-N-G...
Gallagher's going to be one of the top pitching prospects in baseball in next year's rankings if he doesn't lose his eligibility this season. It seems his new slider is working. I know he's got the same control issues as Rich Hill, where the numbers generally look good in AAA, but he doesn't quite have that good control as the numbers suggest. Nonetheless, this kid is developing into something special.
Re: How Does Gallagher Spell Relief? W-A-L-K-I-N-G...
That's some serious minor-league Cubbery there. Two-out, nobody on turns into six runs, with only two hits. Wow.
Re: How Does Gallagher Spell Relief? W-A-L-K-I-N-G...
Cubbery, indeed.
Re comparing to RHILL, (not John Hill), is Gallagher's fastball a "real" one?

Re: Gallagher Fastball...
Thanks - never seen him live. Only during ST on TV.
Quick depart to tonight's game
Mike Cameron has a career .295 BA and .411 OBP at Wrigley.
I hope we keep the Cheater off the bases.
Cubs are so fucked this year...
Re: Cubs are so fucked this year...
okay, i give up. i finally found a strawman arguement that's worse than blaming a manager for everything.
let's buy every issue and bury them in concrete supporting the Banks statue...light a few catholic decorated candles every home game...sacrifice a chicken on the full moon...drag our scrotums through the underbrush banging on drums to moon gods during losing streaks...
baseball players have enough superstitions...heh.
not upset, just ranting for the hell of it. doesnt really bug me, but some people put actual emotion into the stuff.
myself, i know a lot more people that wont step on the 1st/3rd lines on a field more cuz they don't wanna piss off the grounds crew more any superstition. still...some players/managers/coaches got more rituals, quirks, and lucky charms than some people who play too much bingo and slots. =p
Re: Cubs are so fucked this year...
lol crunch. I'm not a big fan of superstitions, either.
Re: Cubs are so fucked this year...
Ahhh, Rob G. and the other authors finally being able to say things like the "Cubs are so fucked." Just one nice benefit of no longer being at MVN.
Re: Cubs are so fucked this year...
i will frame it up to my 1994 si predicred world series of cubs and red sox.
my 2003 si cover of chicago heat with wood and prior.
and of course the2004 preview issue with wood on cover predicting world series .

Drugs, affairs, perjury... sounds like somebody is ready for a successful career in American politics!
Re: The web of lies continues for Clemens
The dude's in his forties and he still frosts his tips. Will he run for Congress on the "Forever Spring Break '98" platform?
What a boner.
Re: The web of lies continues for Clemens
speaking of...
clint hurdle finally shaved that "hipster" facial hair off, but he's still getting that $100 club-boy haircut.
players think he's fun...whatever works.
Weather looks fun
42 right now in Chicago...35 degrees tonight. Yikes!
We couldn't have played these first two series in Milwaukee, huh?
OT article in NYT
Lou Piniella terrifying reporters...
I get a chuckle out of it...others find it disturbing how reporters are treated.
Re: Lou Piniella terrifying reporters...
that reporter should have stuck with the pack rather than roaming around. hehe..
and the players pay for that clubhouse for the most part between tips, dues, and kickdowns...so yeah...stay off their f'n furniture meat. heh...
funny stuff.
Site enhancement
The featured post/recent posts is now one "block" and you can tab between the two. Save some sidebar space. I'll probably be adding more of that around the site.
It does seem to screw up on Internet Explorer (of course) as the picture and headlines overlap the tabs. I'm hoping I can fix it by changing the style of the tabs,, but I'll have to play around with that later.
Re: Site enhancement
think I fixed the IE issue, just had to shorten the tab names so it displayed on one line...
Recent comments
Surprised and bummed that Mark Buehrle is retiring. One of my all-time favorite pitchers. I think he could pitch for 5 more years.
Probably going to a bar/restaurant with TBS. Cord-cutting is so over-rated.
Thanks for the update on Underwood.
I know, man. What a season. 3rd best record in all of baseball, good enough to have won any division other than the one there in.
With a win tomorrow, the Cubs will match their 2008 record. Bad omen, I know. If they do win, the most recent year in which the Cubs will have won more games would be 1945 (98-56), the last time they went to the World Series.
I'll take that omen instead...
"oh yeah, and get the fuck off my lawn. :D"
Ok, now that was funny. :)
KB 0-5 with 8 LOB. Really? He is torturing me with 99 RBI. He is also a very different hitter at home vs. road. I suspect most young hitters are.
Greinke still in for the 8th. 3 up, 3 down. After 8. 108 pitches, ERA still at 1.66 according to mlb boxscore and he's in line for a 19th win.
Greinke 95 pitches through 7. Gives up one run (solo HR to Hedges). ERA at 1.66. Doubt that they will let him give up 5 runs in the 8th.
Dodgers ahead 2-1.
96 wins with one game to go. Who woulda thunk it.
Cubs 96 wins have clinched a better record than any AL team and the NL West/East division winners too.
cubs win, pirates lose...
the curse is now yours.
cog a HR away from the cycle after a single in the 6th.
Hendricks: 15 up, 15 down.
he strongly separates his post-playing career from his playing career, though he loves to visit the barrier of player and fan. many ex-players don't put up this barrier.
he's not interested in going back to the clubhouse or pretty much anything field/game related, but he'll grab a ticket and observe with the fans and visit ex players on "neutral" ground. he's written 3 pieces for the new yorker and other pieces elsewhere. i remember one photo/bio piece he did, but don't remember where i read it (years ago).
I find your comments rather obtuse. He recognized he didn't want to pursue baseball anymore and went back to school to learn how to become a better writer - opening up a new chapter in his life.
I don't know where you find a "sad disconnection" because he is writing about his experiences? He pursued a ball career for a long time so no doubt there is some meloncholy in his tone, but I just don't know what the fuck you are talking about.
he has an almost sad disconnection from the game based on his writings. even though he's "been there" (no matter how much of a minor role) he doesn't seem to feel like he belongs or deserves to belong in the boy's club.
he seems to go to great lengths to enjoy the game from an arm's length while occasionally getting close enough for a high-5 from those who affirm him that he belongs.

I was with my friend there. There are various sushi/sashimi set available. We ordered 2 small sets and 2 drinks. Sushi was tasty but not great. Drinks were good. Nice staff. Nothing more.

Temperature-dependent phenotypic variation of Campylobacter jejuni lipooligosaccharides
1 Institute for Glycomics, Griffith University, Gold Coast campus, Queensland, Australia
2 Microbiology, School of Natural Sciences, National University of Ireland, Galway, Ireland
BMC Microbiology 2010, 10:305 doi:10.1186/1471-2180-10-305Published: 30 November 2010
Campylobacter jejuni is a major bacterial cause of food-borne enteritis, and its lipooligosaccharide (LOS) plays an initiating role in the development of the autoimmune neuropathy, Guillain-Barré syndrome, by induction of anti-neural cross-reactive antibodies through ganglioside molecular mimicry.
Herein we describe the existence and heterogeneity of multiple LOS forms in C. jejuni strains of human and chicken origin grown at 37°C and 42°C, respectively, as determined on sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide electrophoresis gels with carbohydrate-specific silver staining and blotting with anti-ganglioside ligands, and confirmed by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. The C. jejuni NCTC 11168 original isolate (11168-O) was compared to its genome-sequenced variant (11168-GS), and both were found to have a lower-Mr LOS form, which was different in size and structure to the previously characterized higher-Mr form bearing GM1 mimicry. The lower-Mr form production was found to be dependent on the growth temperature as the production of this form increased from ~5%, observed at 37°C to ~35% at 42°C. The structure of the lower-Mr form contained a β-D-Gal-(1→3)-β-D-GalNAc disaccharide moiety which is consistent with the termini of the GM1, asialo-GM1, GD1, GT1 and GQ1 gangliosides, however, it did not display GM1 mimicry as assessed in blotting studies but was shown in NMR to resemble asialo-GM1. The production of multiple LOS forms and lack of GM1 mimicry was not a result of phase variation in the genes tested of NCTC 11168 and was also observed in most of the human and chicken isolates of C. jejuni tested.
The presence of differing amounts of LOS forms at 37 and 42°C, and the variety of forms observed in different strains, indicate that LOS form variation may play a role in an adaptive mechanism or a stress response of the bacterium during the colonization of different hosts.

Domaine Matassa Cuvee Romanissa Rouge 2005
|Red Wine
|France » Languedoc-Roussillon » Cotes de Roussillon
|Domaine Matassa
Product Description
70% Grenache Noir, 15% Carignan, 10% Mourvèdre and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. "Spicy, lifted on the nose by a clear note of volatility, surprising in this wine (I usually find Matassa reds and whites on the happily reductive side). Lovely fine texture and depth, a little meaty and surprisingly savoury. Vestiges of firm tannin. I might have put this in Italy in a blind tasting. Delicious freshness and no sign of heat even at 13.5%." Review by Julia Harding on Jancis Robinson's website Neal Martin 88 Pts. "Clean black fruits on the nose, touches of thyme and white fennel. The palate is medium-bodied, very well balanced and again with a sense of natural "being" with lovely simple, off-dry finish of raspberry, wild strawberry and loganberry with just a hint of hung game. Very fine. Drink now-2010."
Wine Advocate
The 2005 Cuvee Romanissa smells and tastes tartly of rhubarb and sour cherry; possesses an unusual brightness for a red wine; and finishes with striking salinity and freshness. I would drink it in situations otherwise calling for white wine. I can't imagine it getting better, but it might remain frisky for some time yet. (The 2006 was not only equally bright, but practically brittle.)Score: 87, David Schildknecht

STATEN the FACTS
... anyway, as it was very hazy.
It was good to be out on the water, seeing new sights. Just of the tip of Manhattan is Governor's Island – a small island, with early 1800s fortifications and buildings. It looked like a good place to visit. We didn't come very close to it, so I've raided a couple of photos from the internet. I was wondering about the round building on the island…..it is Castle Williams, and ...
