Differential splicing in T. castaneum cys-loop LGIC subunits. (A) Alignment of loop C (LpC) sequences of Tcas_GRD variants 1 and 2. Insertions arising from differential use of splice sites are underlined. (B) Alignment of variant 3 of Drosophila pHCl with the equivalent Tribolium variant (Tcas_pHCl Variant 3). The variants are caused by the differential use of splice sites which inserts stretches of amino acids (underlined). The Tribolium residue in Tcas_pHCl Variant 3 that differs from that of the equivalent Drosophila splice variant is highlighted in bold. Tribolium has an additional variant, Tcas_pHCl Variant 3a, resulting from an insertion of a different peptide sequence at the same site. Potential phosphorylation sites are highlighted in gray shading. (C) Alignment of loop C (LpC) sequences of Tcas_pHCl Variant 4 and a similar variant in Apis (Amel_pHCl Variant 4) where use of differential splice sites introduces an insertion (underlined).

In 1895, a 27-year-old journalist named William Allen White returned to his home town of Emporia, Kansas, to edit a little down-at-the-heels newspaper he had just purchased for $3,000. "The new editor," he wrote in his first editorial, "hopes to live here until he is the old editor, until some of the visions which rise before him as he dreams shall have come true." White did become "the old editor," remaining with the Emporia Gazette until his death 50 years later. During his long tenure he gained nation-wide fame as an author, political leader, and social commentator. But more than anything else, he became the national embodiment of the small-town newspaperman and all the treasured virtues that small towns represented in the minds of Americans.
Home Town News is both a fascinating biography and a compelling social history. As Sally Foreman Griffith shows, White's popular image--kindly yet crusading, fiercely independent yet deeply rooted in his community--doesn't do justice to the man's complexity. Shrewdly carving out a position of leadership in a faction-torn town, White carefully shaped his paper's vision of its community to promote local economic growth, Republican political control, and social harmony. With his emergence as a leader among Midwestern progressives, he carefully adapted the ideas and rhetoric of small-town boosterism to changing economic realities. The book uses White's career to help us understand the role of journalism--and the journalist--in turn-of-the-century American culture. Far from being a simple chronicler of daily events, the small-town newspaperman carried considerable weight in his community. He was a leading force in local business, a galvanizing influence in civic life, and a key political activist. As giant corporations came to dominate the national economy, the newspaperman played a pivotal yet ambivalent role in the resulting social transformation: he sought to preserve local autonomy even as his paper introduced his readers to mass-produced consumer goods.
Home Town News also tells the story of Emporia, Kansas, during this period of social change. Its richly textured descriptions of small-town life take us beyond abstractions like "modernization," "progressivism," and "boosterism." As we observe the Emporia Street Fair of 1899, the heated controversy over the morality of a local doctor in 1902, and the elaborate campaign to build a Y.M.C.A. in 1914, we gain new insights into the processes that have shaped modern America.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Unto A Good Land: A History Of The American People, Volume 1: To 1900'
Unto a Good Land offers a distinctive narrative history of the American people - from the first contacts between Europeans and North Americas native inhabitants, through the creation of a modern nation, to the 2004 presidential election. Written by a team of highly regarded historians, this textbook shows how grasping the uniqueness of the American experiment depends on understanding not only social, cultural, political, and economic factors but also the role that religion has played in shaping U. S. history. While most United States history textbooks in recent decades have expanded their coverage of social and cultural history, they still tend to shortchange the role of religious ideas, practices, and movements in the American past. Unto a Good Land restores the balance by giving religion its appropriate place in the story. This readable and teachable text also features a full complement of maps, historical illustrations, and In Their Own Words sidebars with excerpts from primary source documents.

New Haven, Conn. A joint Yale-Peking University center that aims to improve crop production by furthering understanding of plant biology will receive five years of continued and expanded support from the Monsanto Company, a leading provider of agricultural technology.
The company will fund student exchanges and a series of plant biology-related programs at the Peking-Yale Joint Center (PYC) for Plant Molecular Genetics and Agrobiotechnology, a multidisciplinary research program that serves as a model of global scientific partnerships. The past and future support totals more than $1 million (US).
Established at Peking University in 2001, the center is a place where independent research groups work within a common facility, sharing resources and expertise. Research at the center is concentrated in the field of basic biology in model plant systems and on the application of this research to crop improvement an area of great interest and importance both to China and to the United States.
Monsanto's support for the center began in 2002. It includes the Monsanto Fellowship Award and the Monsanto Exchange Program, as well as sponsorship of an annual scientific meeting and attendance at technology workshops.
Over the past five years, 11 Ph.D. students associated with the center at Peking University location have been named as Monsanto Fellows and participated in this exchange, said Xing-Wang Deng, the Daniel C. Eaton Professor of Plant Biology at Yale and the director of the Peking-Yale Center. We are most grateful for Monsanto's ongoing commitment to and support for the center. This renewed support will allow the PYC to continue its ongoing graduate student exchanging program.
The Monsanto Fellowship Award program provides financial support for selected Ph.D. students associated with the center to attend Yal

Chamartin Railway Station, Madrid
7 Reviews
7 Reviews
Ticket offices at Chamartin Railway station are always quite busy, so you can expect to spend aproximately one hour until you have your ticket.
For in-advanced-reservations or international railway tickets, you must pick up a number, and then wait your turn. At least, this has the advantage that you can go and sit or use the time to do something.
For same-day trains, there's no number, so you must have patience and queue at one of the ticket offices which has the sign "trenes para hoy" or something similar (trains for the same day).
In the Spring of 1981, after my sister's wedding, my cousin and I departed from the Charmartin train station to go to Paris. Little did I know that within a year I would be living in Madrid in the neighborhood named after this station.
As to the look on my face I believe this can be attributed to being young and stupid and impatient for some good times to start.
Chamartin station is located in the Northern suburbs and is reachable my metro. It is a lot less grand than Atocha, and offers local and medium distance service. Be sure to arrive early to buy tickets. You may check timetables at www.renfe.es.
On weekends, I would make use of my Eurailpass by leaving from Chamartín station for Lisbon and Barcelona. On one occasion, I was there for longer than planned. If all had gone according to planned, I would have arrived there in plenty of time to get the metro back to the Moncloa station for a short walk to the dorm. However, on the way back from Barcelona on 22 July 1990, we were behind a train derailment near Zaragoza. That delayed us for hours. It was so significant that the conductors passed around churros, juice and those hot towels you get on foreign flights. On finally arriving back to Madrid, the metros had closed and wouldn't resume operation until 6 am. When I tried to sleep on the floor, some RENFE employee told me I couldn't sleep there. I just said, "I'm sorry, I don't speak a word of Spanish."
I took overnight train from Madrid Chamartin Railway station to Lisbon for EUR 72 (Nov 2004). It was a sleeper in a cabin for 4 pax. The bed is narrow and small, but comfortable. The train left at 10 pm and arrived Lisbon around 7 am. There is not much difference between the sleeper and seat (EUR 54).
There is a train station in Madrid (Chamartin), so you can take the train to get there from most places in Spain. A train ride between Salamanca and Madrid is a few hours. Although you can buy a ticket the day of your trip, it's better to book in advance because in the summer, the train is often full.
Chamartin is the railway station for trains going NORTH and EAST of Spain (Barcelona, Bilbao, San Sebastián, Paris, Burgos...).

SouthEnd X NorthEast Arts Exhibition
Presented by Rocky Neck Art Colony
August 29 - September 22, 2013
SouthEnd by NorthEast: Artists from Boston and the North Shore Meet On Rocky Neck in Gloucester Rocky Neck Art Colony's Artistic Director, Adriana Mederos, curates an invitational group show of five artists from Boston's South End studios and four artists from the North Shore of Boston MA. Curated by Adriana "Gigi" Mederos, the Rocky Neck Art Colony's first and only Latina Artistic Director in their long history, the exhibition brings together five artists from Boston's South End studios and four artists from the North Shore of Boston MA – communities that are far apart, though their reinvention and reinvigoration of the landscape and natural forms as a theme for their art work clearly unites them. The work shown in this exhibition will be in a wide range of mediums; including encaustic, acrylics, oils, inks and watercolors – on paper, canvas, board and vellums. Included in the show is work by artists: Adam Batliner, Cathy Bennigson, Susan Blatt, Linda Cordner, Kay Ives, Elynn Kroger, Ben MacAdam, Mary Bucci McCoy and Martha Wakefield. This diverse and exciting group of work challenges the audience's notion of the landscape in art as each artist reinterprets both what constitutes a landscape painting and/or what served as their "jumping off point" for their investigation into the landscape or natural forms. The landscape in art has a strong tradition in the Cape Ann area; and in the Rocky Neck Art Colony, historically. This show was created to enlarge the conversation around landscape painting to include a wider variety of contemporary mediums and styles of expression, and to serve as a conduit for engagement for these two far-flung art communities and a gateway to meaningful dialogue.

When I hear my Midwestern in-laws talk about their rhubarb bush growing out of control, I can't help but feel a little jealous.
I love how rhubarb's tartness accompanies so many sweet and savory dishes, but here in New York, I often have to search for it in farmers' markets and specialty supermarkets.
In this recipe, I decided to make a cheater's version of a strawberry-rhubarb pie. It's so easy and eliminates fussy steps like rolling out dough or creating lattice tops. The hardest part is probably stopping yourself from licking your plate clean.
Strawberry-Rhubarb Shortcake
2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling
½ teaspoon fine salt
1 tablespoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
¾ cup low-fat milk, plus more for brushing
¼ cup low-fat yogurt
Sparkling or turbinado sugar
8 ounces strawberries, hulled and quartered
8 ounces rhubarb, chopped into ½-inch pieces
½ cup sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
½ teaspoon vanilla paste or pure vanilla extract
Whipped cream
Yield: About 8 servings
1.To make the biscuits, preheat the oven to 425°F. Grease two rimmed sheet pans or line with parchment paper; set aside.
2. Place the dry ingredients in the bowl of a food processor. Add the butter and process until the butter turns into pea-sized bits. Mix the milk and yogurt together in a measuring cup, then pour over the dry mixture. Pulse several times until the dough holds together and looks like a shaggy mess. Turn the dough onto a floured worked surface and form into a large, ½-inch thick rectangle. Cut into 8 rectangles. Place the rectangles on the prepared sheet pans and brush the tops with milk. Sprinkle sparkling or turbinado sugar on top and bake in the oven for 10 to 12 minutes. The tops should be golden.
3. In a medium heavy-bottomed, non-reactive saucepan, combine the strawberries, rhubarb, sugar, and lemon juice. Turn the heat onto medium-high and let the mixture come to a boil, stirring frequently. Turn the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes. The fruit should break down and the juices thicken. Turn off the heat and stir in the vanilla.
4. To serve, cut the biscuits in half horizontally and spoon the fruit compote onto the bottom half. Top with a dollop of whipped cream, if desired, then top with the biscuit top.

Mississippi State defensive linemen Fletcher Cox and Sean Ferguson bring down Wake Forest quarterback Tanner Price during the 2011 Music City Bowl in Nashville.
- Filed Under
Whether it was the push up front, or just the threat of pressure, Wake Forest quarterback Tanner Price couldn't help but feel weary.
The result was a frustrating night for the sophomore left-hander, who looked back on a 23-17 loss to Mississippi State in the Music City Bowl and harped on his own miscues and the missed opportunities.
MSU (7-6) tends to do that to teams, especially late this season. ...

Great route, but a bit of a one pitch wonder. First ice pitch lovely. Couple of short steep sections with steep snow in between. Belayed after 20m on two pegs on left before final steep step of ice, but should have gone a little further to belay off tat above. Second pitch just on snow before route opens out into a bowl. Cornice looks large, but easy enough to escape left or right. 60m of rope WILL get you to the plateau from the two pegs.Karlos - Lead O/S - 12/Feb/15 with CIC Jack

HAYWARD, Calif., Sept. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Acologix, Inc., a privately held biopharmaceutical company, today announced the results of two preclinical studies demonstrating that AC-100, its therapeutic product candidate derived from an endogenous human protein produced by bone and dental cells, promotes cartilage regeneration in large animal models. The data will be presented by Dr. Catherine A. Middleton-Hardie on September 13, 2008 at the 30th ASBMR (American Society for Bone and Mineral Research) Annual Meeting in Montreal, Canada.
The effects of AC-100 on cartilage regeneration were evaluated in goats with standardized medial femoral condylar (knee cartilage) defects. In one study, deep defects in knee cartilage and underlying bone were treated with a collagen sponge containing AC-100 or placebo followed by three weekly intra-articular injections of the test articles into the operated knee joint. Cartilage regeneration was evaluated after three and six months. In another study, a more superficial knee cartilage defect that did not reach the bone was treated with four weekly intra-articular injections of AC-100 or placebo. In half of the goats in each group, microfracture surgery, used clinically to promote healing, was performed. Cartilage was evaluated after 6 weeks to investigate early regeneration.
In both studies, AC-100 dose dependently promoted cartilage repair compared to placebo. AC-100 treatment increased cartilage regeneration both with and without microfracture. AC-100 demonstrated a favorable safety profile in the study, with no inflammatory response.
These results suggest that repair of both severe and non-severe knee cartilage defects may be improved with intra-articular AC-100, with or without concomitant microfracture procedures.
"Results thus far for cartilage regeneration in experimental injury
models, as well as the excellent safety profile of AC-100, provide strong
support for initiating clinical development o

Hanahiyori - Green Tea White Chocolates
Sometimes I've just gotta buy something because of the way it looks. I saw someone posting photos of this candy on Flickr a few months back. If I hadn't seen what was inside the box, I'm not sure I would have bought it. The box is 5" wide and 4.5" deep (and only .75" high). The little candies are depicted on the package as well as a diagram of them (in Japanese) on the back (see the website for the text if you're curious).
I've always been pleased with Morinaga's products. They're one of Japan's finer mass-market candymakers. Their ingredients are good quality and they have a fantastic way with packaging.
The candies are "white chocolate" (made with real cocoa butter) with green tea in it (matcha). They're shaped into pretty little candies - a fan, a flower, a leaf.
There are two different kinds - a dark matcha shape with a chocolate base and then a version with a white chocolate outside with a green tea inside. Though they look different, besides the little bit of dark chocolate on some of them, they taste the same. If you've ever had green tea ice cream, that's basically what this tastes like. Sweet, milky green tea in a solid creamy form.
Some matcha treats have a grain to them, but these are pretty smooth with a mellow, earthy flavor that has only a slight bitter note in the middle. The floral notes stay with you long after you've finished them, it's a pleasant feeling, not like coffee breath. As white chocolates go, this is the way to eat them. They're pretty, they have an actual flavor and they probably give you a good boost of antioxidants. These are the perfect little gift for someone. The packaging is sweet but they're not too expensive (even for an import). They'd also be a nice finish to a Japanese-style meal. The package says that a single serving is the whole box, but at 167 calories per ounce, you'll be doing your heart a favor if you share.
Note: You can order them online from JBox or scour the Japanese markets for them. They may be a seasonal item. This post is pretty much a blatant photography exhibition, they were just so ding-dang cute!

Littlejohn Caramel Marshmallows
I think it might be marshmallow day here at CandyBlog.net.
Last week I was at the Farmers Market at Third and Fairfax to meet up with some other bloggers and I knew I had to stop at Littlejohn's Candies because a reader told me they had the best toffee. Of course once I got there my eyes were drawn to these plump caramel kisses - soft caramel drenching a puffy marshmallow. I completely forgot about the toffee.
So, I got two, one in chocolate and one in vanilla. (And a pecan praline which was divine and I ate before I could take a photo of it.) I figured I can always go back for more toffee ... and another pecan praline.
Once I opened the wrapper it was obvious that these caramels were made with lots and lots of butter. They were creamy, very smooth and exceptionally sweet with a slight hit of salt to it. The marshmallow center was smooth and light without being too foamy. The center also wasn't very sweet, so it gave a nice backdrop to let the caramel dominate the flavor stage. The chocolate caramel wasn't as tasty to me, there wasn't enough chocolate to set it apart from the regular caramel and I plan on sticking to the vanilla in the future.
These are messy candies. They stuck to the cellophane wrapper and to my fingers as I held it. They're too big to put in your mouth all at once (about the size of a squashed golf ball), so eating them posed a challenge. I ended up with sticky fingers. In the future I think I'll leave them in the cello and scrape them off with my teeth.
Since the Farmers Market and the adjacent Grove shopping center are such a tourist destination in Los Angeles, if you do come to the city be sure to seek this place out for something a little different from the tourist fudge that you find at many places. (Though they certainly have fudge.) It's a classic, working farmers market and they actually make the candy right there with big plate glass windows so you can learn all of their sugary secrets.
Dark Chocolate Rocky Road
There are a couple of other iterations of the famous red foil Rocky Road. One is Mint, which I found only recently but was in such bad condition, I could hardly give it a fair review. The second is this one, which I found at the Rite-Aid which is Dark Chocolate.
This bar comes in a pleasant, lightly gold-tinted wrapper. I've decided that all Rocky Road bars are dented and cracked as a consequence of the scant packaging. No matter, it doesn't seem to affect the taste at all. This bar doesn't smell quite as chocolately as the milk chocolate one does, but does have a very sweet aroma.
The marshmallow is thick and foamy, but not very moist. It has some good give to it without being too rubbery and a not-too-fake vanilla taste to it. There's very little contribution from the cashews in the chocolate coating except for some texture. I think the bar might be better served without them, but then I'd probably notice that the quality of the coating chocolate isn't really that good.
Overall, I liked it quite a bit better than the traditional milk Rocky Road, but its rarity is an impediment to purchasing it again. I've been in plenty of Rite-Aids in Los Angeles and this is the first time I've seen this there and it's not good enough for me to keep going back to that particular Rite-Aid (Santa Monica Blvd. & La Brea).

Head to Head: Rolo vs Caramel Kisses
There are a lot of new Hershey's Kisses out. Some of them are natural progressions of the classic milk chocolate morsel. Dark Chocolate and their sassy purple foils are one of those and of course Hugs with their almond centers. Some of the new Hershey's Kisses sound like pre-existing products in the Hershey's repertoire. When I heard about the Caramel Kisses, I thought, "Aren't those just Rolos?"
Rolos have been around in the United States since 1971 and I think I remember their introduction. I also remember some of the other advertising campaigns, including the Rolo song (You can roll a Rolo to your pal/it's chocolate covered caramel ... you can roll a Rolo to your friend/it's chocolate covered caramel from end to end). They've never held much interest for me, I enjoy eating them with other things, like pretzels or apples, but not just as a treat by themselves.
The Caramel Kisses are soft, flowing caramel in a molded chocolate shell shaped like a Kiss. Rolo is a soft but chewy caramel in a molded chocolate shell shaped like a tall disk.
The chocolate on the Caramel Kiss is sweet and likable, with a fair amount of grain and that inimitable Hershey's tang to it . The caramel is flowing and sweet with only a slight toasted sugar note to it. The vanilla is rather chemical in nature. They're a good size and have a good proportion to the elements.
The Rolo has a very sweet chocolate outside, with a fair amount of grain and a sort of "graham" taste to it. The caramel inside is pleasingly soft but not messy and flowing. It's chewy without pulling on the teeth. It doesn't have much flavor to it, not much of a toasted sugar note, but it's smooth and milky. They smell of sugar and fake vanilla.
Frankly, neither of these candies float my boat. I know that in a Head-to-Head the battle is supposed to be fierce and the winner takes a huge prize, but I'm just not fond of either of these candies enough to purchase them again. Instead it's one of those board games that you start and it gets so complicated or boring that you just agree to wander away.

Orange Blossom Chocolate
Sometimes it's packaging that keeps me coming back to a product line.
I just love these little cans and medallions of chocolate. I'm not fond of the price, but in this case it was a gift. It's the last of the flavors from Splendid Specialties that I needed to try. Tea is pretty high up there as a flavor in my Pantheon.
The disks of chocolate are wrapped in orange foil and stamped with a little leaf emblem. The chocolate is sweet and milky and has a strong but still soft orange component. The black tea flavors come from actual black tea leaves in the chocolate. These aren't terribly distracting from the smooth quality of the chocolate but they do provide a fair amount of grit from time to time.
What I appreciate about this combination is that there's no clove in there. Most orange/tea combos end up with clove in the mix, which I just don't like.
The tea flavors linger in the mouth in a good way, but I think I still prefer the Jasmine one I tried first last spring. The packaging makes it ideal for carrying on trips because it can't get crushed easily. Or perhaps put it in a picnic basket - there are six pieces in each little can and it's resealable. I wish Splendid Specialties would tackle dark chocolate. I think all their flavors would be equally compelling mixed in some smooth and bitter Belgian chocolate. But let's face it, this is special occasion chocolate, at $3.00 - $3.50 for ounce and a half, I'd rather get a Dagoba bar.
For reference I tried Jasmine Green Tea Chocolate (8 out of 10) and Emperor's Ginger Tea Chocolate (7 out of 10).

Caffarel Gianduia 1865
Everyone's talking about Valentine's candy. But I thought I'd give you a taste of a few other seasonal treats instead. Yesterday it was candy to watch whales by. Today it's Olympic candy. A friend of ours, Matt, was working in Torino for the Winter Olympics on the Canadian Pavilion and just returned. He was thoughtful enough to bring back some candy, and this Caffarel Gianduia is "officially" branded Olympics merchandise (it even has a hologram seal!).
These little cuties are packed in a clear cello bag, each piece wrapped in gold foil, marking the Torino 2006 Olympics. The pieces are shaped like little old lady handbags and are about two bites each (or you can put it all in your mouth, don't let me stop you).
Caffarel is the chocolate of Torino, so it's a natural fit. And if I do say so, I think this is a sporty chocolate. What I found particularly fascinating while browsing the Caffarel site was the story of how they invented this gianduia chocolate. Back in the 1860s cocoa was rationed, so Caffarel figured out a way to create a chocolatey confection that didn't feel skimpy. This gianduia contains 28% hazelnuts! The wondrous thing about combining the chocolate with hazelnuts is the soft feel it creates on the tongue. It's sweet, without masking the chocolate and nut flavors. But very sticky, consider this the Italian version of peanut butter sticking to the roof of your mouth.
I was also happy to try these because the last Caffarel bar I had to try had bloomed and I'd heard that this was an excellent Italian brand. I can see why now. Tasting these little morsels has also made me crave their darker sisters called Gianduiotto Fondente, which is made without milk.
If you've ever had Ice Cubes and are looking for a more sophisticated version, especially one without the addition of hydrogenated oils, this might be it. Soft, nutty and sweet with that slight cooling sensation that makes me pop another one in my mouth, just to make sure they all do that. It'll be a sad day in my house when these are gone, and that'll probably be soon, I can't risk them melting in this freaky heat wave we've got going on in Los Angeles right now.

Dagoba Hazelnut
I was searching for this bar for a while. I've only tried one other milk chocolate bar from Dagoba (the Chai), so I was curious to see what their plain milk chocolate was like without all the other embellishments. But I think that milk chocolate shines well with some textured interest like nuts, so this was next on my list of bars to try. However, I didn't see it at Whole Foods or Wild Oats. This bar was given to me by Amy, the neighbor.
This bar is milk chocolate (high cocoa solids content at 37%) with hazelnuts and crisped rice.
The Dagoba milk chocolate is insanely smooth. It's very milky and has a slight floral note to it, maybe orange blossom, but it's not soapy. It is, however, very sweet. The dairy part of the milk chocolate is a little sticky and tastes like powdered milk, though much better than a Cadbury. The crisps in the bar are fun, but few and far between. I counted three or four per "stick" of the bar. I'm not asking for them to be as dense as a Nestle Crunch, but a little more frequent would be nice. The hazelnuts were similarly scarce, though I think they imparted some of their nutty flavor to the rest of the bar nicely.
I think I wanted more nuts, or maybe something a little more from such an expensive bar. Don't get me wrong, I love many of the other bars I've tried (Roseberry) but this one didn't quite sing for me. It's still a solid performer and I wouldn't turn it down if someone offered it to me, but I doubt I'll buy it again.

Choxie Champagne Truffles
I get a lot of questions about Choxie here at CandyBlog.net. And with good reason ... there aren't that many places to find out about Choxie. There's certainly no info on the Target website. I haven't spent much time with Choxie, but I have to say that the products I've tried are always good quality, nicely packaged and feature interesting flavor combinations.
I picked up a few things last week, including the highly rated Champagne-Flavored Truffles. (I actually hadn't seen them before.) They're stunning looking little baubles of chocolate. Shiny and dark, the package highlights their gorgeous sheen. They smell rather spicy - of chocolate and a hint of wine. The truffles are about the size of a hazelnut in the shell (smaller than a malted milk ball).
These truffles are panned chocolate. Panning is when you take a solid nugget and tumble it, adding layers of coating on it. Panned candies can range from jelly beans to Gobstoppers to chocolate coated nuts to Lemonheads. Panning is usually done in large turning pans that look like cement mixers and can hold hundreds of pounds of candy. The coating can double the weight of each candy as each successive layer is added and then the final "polish coat" to seal them and give them the high gloss shine. In this case it's called "confectioners glaze."
The centers are made of white chocolate (made with real cocoa butter, not hydrogenated oils). The chocolate outside is sweet and smooth, a little on the sweet side but it's definitely buttery and has a good smoky quality to it. The center is smooth as well and has a raisiny hint to it. Not really a champagne flavor in my mind, just a nice "boosted" vanilla flavor. The small size of them and their glossy appearance makes them easy to pop and of course easy to share.
As Valentine's gifts go, the Choxie line has some really nice, inexpensive options. At less than $10 a pound for many of their offerings, they're a really good way of expressing yourself without breaking the bank. The "shareable" nature of them is also a bonus. They also make nice hostess gifts or just a nice treat for yourself. Choxie has done a good job of bringing upscale into the realm of affordable. Their variety is also pretty stunning and it always seems like there's something new when I check out the Choxie section. The ingredients also appear to be top notch, using real vanilla instead of vanillin and cocoa butter instead of palm oils.
Interesting note from the box: confections made in the USA, packaged in Mexico.

I must say I'm surprised. I'd never gone to MEC to get some work done on my bike but I was in a pinch. I needed a couple minor things that I wasn't comfortable doing myself completed. My own bike shop, despite me having bout a $3000 bike, still had to have me wait 1 week for an appointment to get the work done (about 20 minutes of work). I won't say I deserve better service than the rest..I'm just upset is all.
I saw on MEC's website that they advertise "most minor repairs / work done while you shop". So I tried my luck on a very busy Saturday (busy enough that they had a cop acting as security at the front).
Took my bike to the back, said I needed a couple parts installed (which I bought else where). The mechanic started off with "wow, sweet bike dude" and we just started chit chatting etc...He invited me to the back, performed the labour with me without me even having to ask if it could be done right away...even allowed me to stay in the back so he could show me how the work that he was performing was done.
At the end, he did not even charge me what he should have charged me...
All in all, great experience today at the Toronto MEC.

Suspect pleads not guilty in homeless man's death
PHOENIX — A man accused of fatally punching a 70-year-old homeless man at
a Phoenix bus stop has pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder.
Maricopa County prosecutors say 30-year-old Joseph Nicholas Aguilera entered
his plea Wednesday. His initial pretrial conference is scheduled for Sept. 25.
Phoenix police say Aguilera allegedly struck the man at a bus stop near a
convenience store on July 12 for unknown reasons.
They say Aguilera fled the scene and was captured on surveillance video.
Aguilera was later arrested after being identified with help from the public.
The homeless man died in a hospital July 14 and still hadn't been identified at
that time.

morePresenting a radically different view of the operations of the labor market, in this 1999 book Professors Pryor and Schaffer explain the growing inequality in wages and how those with the least education are being squeezed out of the labor market. Why have wages in those jobs requiring extra-high cognitive skills risen while all other wages have stagnated or fallen? And why are more university graduates taking high-school jobs? The authors of this volume present data revealing that jobs which require a high educational level are increasing more slowly than those with somewhat lower requirements. However such jobs are increasing faster than those requiring still less formal education. Professors Pryor and Schaffer also show how women are replacing men in jobs which require higher levels of education and, moreover, how those with high cognitive skills are replacing those with lower cognitive skills. less

Awesome: Mega Man Battle Network
- Just about anything Proto Man related, specifically when he deletes Magic Man, Quick Man, and Bubble Man each with one stab from his sword. Albeit Mega Man's the one who weakened them, but still.
- DesertMan's scenario. When Sunayama's finished explaining his Evil Plan to Chaud, just as Chaud is about to hand his PET over to the villains... Lan spins around a corner, shouts "MEGAMAN, ATTACK!", and tosses his PET case, MegaMan and all, right at Sunayama's head (as you can imagine, this doubles as a Crowning Moment of Funny). In a series where almost all combat is virtual, this was very refreshing.
- In the fourth game, ShadeMan, who's completely immune to MegaMan's attacks, demands that he and Lan return the DarkChip they found. Out of options, MegaMan tosses him the chip... and then shoots it in midair, destroying it. ShadeMan is not pleased. (Fortunately, MegaMan gets a way to damage him in the ensuing battle.)
- In the sixth game, MegaMan gets taken over by a giant Internet monster Sealed Evil in a Can, and you have to drag someone else' Navi (Heatman or Aquaman, depending on version) into Internet Hell to defeat him. As much as that could be a Moment, given that you just defeated the main character fused with a massive cybermonster while playing as either a baby with a fishbowl on his head or a manic zippo lighter, that's not the awesome. A few scenes later, MegaMan wakes up from his beating... and the Beast roars back to life. Lan and his dad are panicking. And then your substitute Navi Bright Slaps Rock back into control. Win.
- Actually, by that time (when you need to save him from that cult in the Undernet, not when MegaMan first absorbs Gregar/Falzar), I believe you already have the first three crosses(Aqua/Heat + Tengu/Slash + Tomahawk/Elec), so you can use any of those three. Saving MegaMan with Elecman has never felt so epic.
- And following the last prelim of the contest, you have access to all Link Navis. So, technically, you can send the Grim Reaper into the underworld to go save MegaMan.
- Again in the fourth game, this troper considers the ending a crowning moment of awesome. After defeating Duo.EXE, and with only an hour before a computer-controlled asteroid collides with the Earth, MegaMan tries to move the wheel controlling it, but it would not even budge. However, after the whole world starts to cheer for him, Lan goes Full Synchro with MegaMan, and the wheel that wouldn't even budge now spins so hard that it's a surprise that it doesn't fly off its axis. With the music to go along with it, it was perfect.
- Let's be honest, Mega Man does something selflessly heroic and suicidally stupid at the drop of a hat to the point where it stops being awesome sometime around game 2. That said, the ending of BN3 felt like they finally figured out how to do a proper Heroic Sacrifice with all the awesome due to such a moment. Even his resurrection after the credits is so well done as a CMOH that finally, FINALLY Mega has some Awesome in his pants. And then they hit us with BN4...
- Anyone forget Wily's CMOA at the end of MMBN5? He's an old man who walked into an EXPLODING VOLCANO, just to use a brilliant combination of the Reset Button and a Bright Slap to allow his own son a chance at redemption, and BOTH of them survived!
- From MMBN5: Team Colonel, Baryl Bright Slaps Lan/Netto out of a Heroic BSOD and tells him to quit whining and kick ass. He does that, and you get to control COLONEL HIMSELF!
Colonel: Let's go, Lan Hikari!
- Team Protoman gave us Protoman's exclusive unbridled awesome, and Enzan/Chaud took a punch from Lan and turned it into a Rousing Speech that basically said "take that aggression, and do something positive with it".
- MMBN3: The entire scenario where Lan and Mega Man are kicking viral ass to save Mamoru from dying was so Manly Tears inspiring that the whole scenario is a gigantic CMOA for the series in general!
- MMBN4: For those who say this game sucked, here's one moment of awesome no one can deny. Lan made some very questionable moral decisions throughtout the game, and Regal's attempts at a What the Hell, Hero? speech at the end were destroyed by the simple fact Lan still gave a damn about humanity, and Regal didn't. The game's story was thin, but it was a barely disguised morality tale that proved that those who ultimately see the good in humanity and are willing to fight for it are the best hope our race has of survival....literally.
- Bonus points for being the impetus that gave Lan, Yuichirou, AND Wily the chance to ultimately prove that point by the end of MMBN5.
- MMBN6: Joe Mach's awesome Spanner in the Works, courtesy of beating the piss out of his former World 3 allies because his conscience couldn't stand the thought of those assholes hurting a child.
- Back to BN5, there's the Brain Navi of both games beating the living shit out of the impostors of himself and MegaMan. Cool when SearchMan does it in ProtoMan, but more awesome in Colonel, considering the fact that your Brain here is NumberMan.
- The very end of the series. MegaMan has been taken over by the Cybeast. Lan can't do anything to save him. The Megabeast then warps over to Iris and Colonel, weak from fighting the opposite Cybeast. The two unite to form the original Colonel with the emotion that became Iris. Colonel then rushes at the Megabeast, tears the Cybeast soul out of his body in a single strike and then performs a Heroic Sacrifice to destroy it once and for all.
- The games themselves usually highlight moments of awesome by setting them to a rendition of each game's main theme. Special credit, however, goes to the Gamecube spinoff Network Transmission: this game doesn't use its own main theme for heroic moments, they use Kaze wo Tsukinuketenote . It's awesome charging towards the Final Boss with the triumphant refrain of the anime theme carrying you forward.
- Also, from Network Transmission, if you avert doing Not Quite the Right Thing, you get to take the Professor out with style. While the Professor taunts Lan and Mega about how defeating the Life Virus R didn't ultimately stop him, his mockery dies in his throat when he realizes the Officials are on his doorstep. Turns out, Zero owed them a favor for sealing the virus he was generating, and used the leftover viruses infecting the Professor's own computer to sniff him out.
Zero: Is that despair I see?
- Beating Bass.EXE. Always.
- The fight against Serenade.EXE is also awesome. That MegaMan gets crowned King of the Undernet for winning is the cherry on top.
- The Bonus game content for both the third and fifth games are each minor story arcs unto themselves, each culminating with a Final Battle against a Bonus Boss with some of the heaviest Super Weight in the entire plot. As tough as it is to get there, the payoff is entirely worth it.
- After rescuing one of your opponent's navi from being offed by the mafia, their boss overhears their plan to off her. When they go to attack her, the screen goes dark for half a second and you see both the attackers on the ground. Not bad for an old lady.
- what makes it more awesome is that she apparently attacks them with the Shun Goku Statsu because the sounds used for this scene are almost identical to the ones associated with the move from that series.

Great Britain win London Olympic golds in cycling and rowing
Great Britain won their first two gold medals of London 2012 as cyclist Bradley Wiggins took the men's time trial after rowing pair Heather Stanning and Helen Glover triumphed.
Amid jubilant scenes at Hampton Court, Wiggins became Britain's most decorated Olympian with seven medals.
"I don't think my sporting career will ever top this now," said Wiggins.
It came just four hours after Stanning and Glover produced a superb display to win the women's pair at Eton Dorney.
Glover said: "This was for the whole of the team and the whole of the country."
The host nation's most successful day of the Games so far was rounded off as Michael Jamieson pulled off the swim of his life to win a silver in the 200m breaststroke.
Jamieson's medal was Britain's ninth of London 2012, lifting them to 11th in the medal table from 21st overnight.
Tour de France winner Wiggins dominated the 44km ride to beat Germany's Tony Martin by 42 seconds, with Britain's Chris Froome taking the bronze.
Wiggins moves one medal clear of former rower Sir Steve Redgrave as the most successful British Olympian of all time.
"It was phenomenal, the noise was amazing," said Wiggins, who pretended to conduct the national anthem after receiving the fourth gold medal of his career outside Hampton Court Palace.
"It will never, never get better than that. Incredible. It had to be gold today or nothing. What's the point of seven medals if they're not the right colour? Mainly it's about the four golds. Now I have to go to Rio and go for five."
Best of British
- Bradley Wiggins (cycling): seven medals - four gold, one silver, two bronze
- Sir Steve Redgrave (rowing): six - five gold, one bronze
- Sir Chris Hoy (track cycling): five - four gold, one silver
- Jack Beresford (rowing): five - three gold, two silver
- Henry Taylor (swimming): five - three gold, two bronze
- Sir Matthew Pinsent (rowing): four - four gold
- Paulo Radmilovic (water polo): four - four gold
- Ben Ainslie (sailing): four - three gold, one silver
Chris Boardman, who won Olympic cycling gold in Barcelona at the 1992 Olympics, described Wiggins's performance as "untouchable".
"His sporting performances this year have been unprecedented. The greatest British cyclist of all time, I have no qualms about saying that. One of the top British sportsmen, also."
Glover and Stanning led from start to finish to become the first British female rowers to win an Olympic gold.
Stanning, who has taken time out from her army career to compete in the Olympics, said: "I want to collapse I'm so overjoyed. We hope this is the start of things to come from the Great Britain team."
PE teacher Glover added: "I really hope my story can be an inspiration for kids in PE watching this, or at home thinking about taking up a new sport. Just go on, go for it, you don't know what's going to happen."
Prime Minister David Cameron said: "I'm delighted about Heather and Helen's gold medal in the rowing - an absolutely fantastic effort."
Mr Cameron, on a visit to the Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland, added: "I was sitting in the wishing chair, I was told I could make my wish. I won't say what it was, but as soon as I got back to my mobile phone I had the good news. Fantastic news, well done to them, a great success for the United Kingdom team."
Mayor of London Boris Johnson said Glover and Stanning's triumph would be celebrated throughout the country.
"Not only have they achieved the first gold medal for Great Britain at London's Games, they have bagged the first-ever rowing medal for Team GB's women at an Olympic Games," he said.
"It is an outstanding achievement and I am sure it will spur on all our athletes in the medal stakes. It is fantastic - go Team GB."
Royal Mail announced that images of Wiggins and rowing duo Glover and Stanning would appear on special sets of stamps, which would be available in 500 Post Office branches on Thursday.
Forty minutes after the women's pair success, Great Britain's men's eight claimed bronze as world champions Germany took gold in a thrilling final.
The crew, featuring 1992 gold medallist Greg Searle, pulled ahead of Germany at halfway, but ran out steam with Canada pipping them on the line for silver.
Team GB could taste more glory in the Aquatic Centre when Michael Jamieson and Andrew Willis compete in the men's 200m breaststroke final after qualifying first and third from the semi-final.
There was disappointment for Britain in the women's time trial as Beijing silver-medallist Emma Pooley finished sixth and Lizzie Armistead, who took road race silver on Sunday, came 10th.

football clubs dont have debts, companies do!
professionalism led to business within sport, in reality history and achievment lies completely seperate!
Yes but it was the 'business' that bought the quality English players that allowed you to go on your nine-in-a-row run, although Celtic did it first of course.

Your subject choices to try and catch me out are becoming abit boring.
But no I dont, like I said the company went bust, the football club still exists, and if scottish football, namely the SPL survives losing one half of the old firm to the 3rd division then we will add more titles to the list.

So make your mind up, do you want Independence or are you British?

I am most certainly a very proud scot.......does that mean Im not allowed to support team GB in your eyes???
And I have no fear in admitting that god save the queen is not my national anthem.
Is your disgusting manner all because GB isnt part of the euro???

Archery involves strength, muscular endurance and obviously accuracy.....darts involves a beer belly and a hard chin to fall onto at the end of a nights 'gaming'

Apokries by the fire!
The greek version of Halloween is Apokries but it's really funny the way they celebrate Apokries in Ioannina. There are big fires in many squares of the city and the people (dressed in funny costumes) holding bottles of wine go from fire to fire and dance around! They start late in the afternoon and they go like this till the morning!...
Apokries is some kind of carnival that is celebrated every year 3 weeks before the orthodox easter. The word "apokries" means "abstinence from the meat" from that day until the Easter but the majority don't follow that anymore. I think the latin word carnival means the same (carne – vale(passed)).
Giving name
In Greece we don't give the name to the baby on birth. We baptize it later and the ceremony is very important. I have been to many ceremonies before but it was the first time I noticed how serious the role of the godmother or the godfather is...
Any way, the baby is not a baby anymore...His name is Christos.
The "Litharitsia" park
Now you are outside the Castle,next stop is the Lake, a walk by it would be refreshing. All this beauty will surely charm you. From this point you could go to the little Islet by taking the boat rides. There you will find many restaurants, with nice meals from which you should try the eel and the froglegs.
You can visit the "Litharitsia" park, a park with a beautiful view of the lake and the Islet.
Epirus Epirus occupies the...
Epirus occupies the north west corner of Greece and it is the most mountainous region. The skyline of the Pindus range forms the natural eastern boundary of the area, separating it but also linking it with other sections of the country.
Some of the largest and most beautiful forests in Greece are to be found in Epirus.The Black Pine (Pinus Negra) is predominant as well as dessiduous trees such as beech and oak, while the higher peaks are clad in the famous Rombola tree, a form of pine peculiar to the Balkan peninsula.
HOTELS IN EPIRUS - Vizantino, Arta Palladion, Ioannina Hotel Du Lac, Ioannina Epirus Palace, Ioannina Olympic, Metsovo Asteri, Metsovo Egnatia, Metsovo Victoria, Metsovo Faraggi, Konitsa Kougias, Konitsa Gefyri, Konitsa Dioni,
The variety of wild flowers which grow runs into thousands. Some are quite impressive in appearance, such as the Lillium Candidum or Wild Virgin Lilly, the Albanian Lilly the 'Poet's Narcissus', Ramonda Serbica and many others.
Well preserved traditional settlements in Epirus, in their unique local style, serve as live museums of the recent phases in the area's history, covering the years of the Ottoman rule and more recent times.
When the turks overan Epirus during the 15th century, certain mountainous districts managed to ensure for themselves a degree of self rule. This enabled both their economy and culture to flourish.
The outstanding feature of these traditional settlements is the local gray stone out of which they are built.
During the Ottoman years the arts and crafts flourished in all forms. Many of the villages such as Metsovo and the town of Ioannina grew into noteworthy artistic centres with brisk activity in the establishments of goldsmiths and silversmiths, in gold embroidery, woven fabricks, woodcarving, etc.
The town of Ioannina, the capital of the area, is the largest town in Epirus, built at an altitude of 500 metres above the sea level and at a distance of 436 km from Athens.

Konitsa town stands at 602 metres altitude and 63 km from Ioannina. It is built amphiteatrically along the slopes of Trapezitsa mountain and has excellent climate.
On the north part of Ioannina we meet the areas of East Zagori, Central Zagori and the most important West Zagori, where Mikro and Megalo Papingo are located only 61 km from Ioannina.
Typical traditional settlements are found here set among surroundings of beauty, at the mouth of Vikos gorge, which was formed by the river Aoos, and along the banks of Voidomatis river.
Only 21 km south west of Ioannina lies Dodoni one of the most important archaeological sites in Epirus. The ancient oracle is still there, founded originally by the Pelasgians as well as ruins of an early Christian basilica built over the foundations of the ancient temple of the Dodonian Zeus, a citadel and an ancient open air theatre, one of the largest in Greece.

The archaeological site of Dodoni lies 22 kilometers southeast of Ioannina. One of the most important and the OLDEST in Greece, it was settled by the first Greek tribes around 2500 B.C as indicated by finds dating to the Bronze Age (Early Helladic period). With the rise of the Molossian KING PYRROS, the temple to Zeus was built and a gigantic theatre, larger than the one at Epidaurus, was erected. (17.000 seats).
