The English were among the first Europeans to reach Canadian shores and waters after the Norse seafarers of the 10th and 11th centuries. English mariners probably fished in Canadian waters even before John CABOT'S voyage of 1497; Dr John Dee, Queen Elizabeth I's astrologer, who was interested in the discovery of the NORTHWEST PASSAGE, found evidence to suggest that 2 Bristol merchants - Thorne and Eliot - may have reached Newfoundland c 1494.
Early English Penetration
English merchants financed several voyages at the beginning of the 16th century, and as early as 1527 the harbour of ST JOHN'S became a rendezvous site for fishing vessels. When Sir Humphrey GILBERT arrived to claim the land for Queen Elizabeth I in 1583, he found a makeshift town to serve the Devon fishermen already there. In 1610 John Guy, also of Bristol, founded the well-known English settlement at Cupers Cove, later known as CUPIDS, and from this point onwards settlement continued, people from the English West Country outnumbering the Irish immigrants 2 to one. To this day Newfoundland remains, by descent, the most English province of Canada.
Another early direction of English penetration was through the Northwest Passage to Hudson Bay. Some of the famous Elizabethan captains went in search of the passage, including Martin FROBISHER, who received an Inuit arrow in his rump at Frobisher Bay in 1577. In 1610 Henry HUDSON entered the inland sea now called Hudson Bay. In 1670 the foundation of the HUDSON'S BAY COMPANY brought an influx of English traders and employees, largely recruited from the urban unemployed. Englishmen based in the company's forts on the bay conducted pioneer explorations of the West and the North, including Henry KELSEY's 1690 travels in the Canadian prairies, Anthony HENDAY's sighting of the Rockies in 1754 and Samuel HEARNE's epic journey down the Coppermine River to the Arctic Sea in 1771-72.
Because of immigration, for many years a large portion of Canada's population was English-born. Between 1871 and 1901 about 22% of Canadian residents were born in England. In 1911, 25% of the population recorded England as their place of birth, a figure that increased to nearly 30% in 1921. After WW II, Canada's English-born population declined, in both relative and real terms. The 1981 census recorded that just under 4% of Canadians had been born in the UK, a statistical category which included England.
Although Statistics Canada no longer distinguishes "English" from "British" immigrants in its census, the English have generally constituted the largest ethnic group within the larger cohort of British immigrants. Of the 4657 British immigrants who entered Canada in 1984, 3516 (75%) were from England. In recent years, the number of British immigrants (relative to non-British immigrant groups) has declined and the number of English immigrants has declined accordingly. Nearly 30% of Canada's immigrants came from Britain in the 1950s. British (mainly English) emigrants accounted for 13% of Canada's immigration in the 1970s. In the 1980s the proportion of British (mainly English) immigrants fell to 7.5 % and in the 1990s it has fallen to below 4%. Despite a decline in the number of immigrants, the English element has remained significant. In the 2006 census 1 367 125 people listed English as their single ethnic origin and a further 5 202 890 listed English as a multiple response (English and one or more other ethnic origins).
People of English descent came to Canada either directly from England or indirectly through the American colonies. In the first case their motives were largely economic. In the early 19th century, many working people were unemployed, and among the upper and middle classes, younger sons and discharged officers emigrated because they were unable to keep up appearances at home. In the later period of the settlement of the PRAIRIE WEST, many English immigrants were attracted to Canada by the offer of free land.
The motives of those of English descent who emigrated from the US were largely political, for most of them were LOYALISTS, although it is true that many English-Americans immigrated to Upper Canada and later to the Prairies because of the farming opportunities. Apart from the special connection between Newfoundland and the western counties of Devon and Dorset, no part of England can be singled out as having contributed particularly to the Canadian population; immigrants have come from all parts of the country, and from urban as well as rural areas.
Because England was the imperial centre and by definition the "old country" of English Canada, many of the English, at least until 1867, came in official capacities as public servants and soldiers who, on release from service, remained in the country. For example, almost all the officials in BC, when it entered Confederation in 1871, were English or Anglo-Irish.
Migration in the broader sense began in the Atlantic colonies with the foundation of HALIFAX in 1749. Two-thirds of its early population of 3000 were Englishmen based there as a counterbalance to the French force at LOUISBOURG. With the capture of Louisbourg in 1758 and of Québec in 1759, and with the Treaty of PARIS (1763), New France became another British colony. Shortly afterwards in the 1760s, New England farmers of English descent began to settle around the Bay of Fundy on former Acadian lands, and in the early 1770s a group of Yorkshiremen put down roots in northern Nova Scotia. Then, at the end of the American War of Independence, the Loyalists came northward and carved out in 1784 the province of New Brunswick, whose population - apart from the returning Acadians - has remained largely English in descent.
Some of the Loyalists travelled to the region which in 1791 became Upper Canada. Here they were joined after the Napoleonic Wars by a considerable influx of English from England suffering the effects of high unemployment and depressed wages. By 1819 one-half of the British subjects who sailed for British North America were English from the British Isles. Many of these emigrated in various ways with official encouragement or assistance. The imperial authorities hoped to reproduce, at least partially, the English graded social system in Canada, and for this reason they encouraged ex-officers and other members of the gentry with generous grants of land, hoping to establish a kind of aristocracy.
Speculative companies such as the CANADA COMPANY acquired large tracts of land on condition that they bring in suitable settlers from England. At the bottom of the scale were the schemes by which English parishes unloaded into Canada the paupers who were victims of crop failures and economic recession and who reached Canada with no means and none of the skills they needed in a pioneer environment.
By 1851 this wave of immigration had settled down, and after a considerable outflow to the US some 93 000 people actually born in England remained in Canada West [Ontario], constituting about one-tenth of the population. They were almost matched in number by the Scottish-born (90 000) and greatly outnumbered by the 227 000 Irish-born.
There were at least 3 other great waves of English immigration. After Confederation, children from private homes, industrial schools and poor-law schools were given free passage to Canada, where they became wards of various societies. Between 1867 and the 1920s thousands of British children, the majority of them English, were settled across Canada (seeIMMIGRANT CHILDREN).
Opening of the PrairiesBetween 1890 and 1914, in response to the opening of the Prairie provinces, there was another large influx of English settlers. In 1901 they numbered less than 10 000, but in 1906, 3 years after an immigration office was established in central London, 65 000 immigrants arrived in Canada and in 1913 the number peaked at 113 004. Although the British government under the Empire Settlement Act of 1922 helped 130 000 British immigrants settle in Canada after WWI, the number of English immigrants did not rise significantly until after WWII. In 1947 over 7000 English, many of them trained industrial workers, artisans and technicians, immigrated to Canada; in 1957 the number rose to 75 546 and in 1967 it was 43 000.
Settlement Patterns
Proportionately the most heavy English settlement has been in Newfoundland, BC, the Maritime provinces, and later in Ontario. In Québec the English are found mainly in enclaves in Montréal and the Eastern Townships. But wherever they have settled, except in Québec, they have tended to become assimilated quickly into the local community, largely because they have not had to learn a new language and have encountered little prejudice. Outbursts of anglophobia have been rare enough for such manifestations as the "Englishmen Need Not Apply" job notices of the early 1900s to have passed into Prairie legend as historic curiosities.
Popular resentment against the English (as indeed against immigrants generally) was most acute during periods of economic crisis. During the depression of the early 1900s, the government dealt as harshly with the English as with other immigrants; of nearly 1800 persons deported in 1908, 1100 were returned to the British Isles. The few cases of all-English agrarian settlements have usually existed because their members shared the same class attitudes or the same opinions rather than because they shared "Englishness." An example of the former was the colony of English gentlemen founded at CANNINGTON MANOR in Saskatchewan in 1882; one of the latter was the Barr Colony (seeBARR COLONISTS) on the Alberta-Saskatchewan border.
Economic Life
The English entered into every level of Canadian life. They have been prominent in government and have shared the control of Canadian business with the SCOTS, not only in the English-speaking parts of Canada but also in Montréal (seeELITES; BUSINESS ELITES). The Canadian armed forces were created and have largely been staffed by officers of English descent.
The first waves of English immigration contributed greatly to the farming population in the rural areas and to the skilled artisan population in the towns, but after WWII many English immigrants were professionals, technicians or individuals concerned in various ways with the arts. English immigrants have made important contributions to many Canadian institutions, including the NFB, the CBC, the Canada Council, the National Ballet and the Stratford Festival.
Social and Cultural Life
The English, perhaps because they are so widely and evenly spread across Canada and because they consider themselves a founding race, have tended to be less self-defensively clannish than other groups. The family unit facilitated and promoted their ethnic identity. The ratio of male to female English prior to WWI was 5:3, while for other groups it was 5:1. Once the largest and most important English cultural society was the Sons of England, which in 1913 had 40 000 Canadian members. Lodges formed across Canada were usually led by affluent Englishmen, professionals, clergymen and former military officers who had joined local elites.
An important vehicle for maintaining traditions was the social evening "At home," which was modelled on the English music hall. On these occasions the Sons were expected to thrill to jingoistic songs, weep at evocations of England, savour warm, dark ale and revert to regional dialects. As a mutual benefit society, the Sons organized receptions for newcomers, provided medical services and paid unemployment and disability benefits.
The English were often perceived by other ethnic groups as xenophobic and industrious. English ethnicity could be asserted productively in Canada, because it provided not only status but a competitive advantage in securing employment. Companies such as The T. EATON CO were so partial to English workers that they imported them from London to work in their stores and factories, and the CPR used the union which had organized metal-trade workers in Britain as a supplier of labour.
Unlike the Scottish and Irish groups, the English pay scant attention to national days; only in Newfoundland is St George's Day celebrated seriously. They maintain few formal organizations to nurture group ties, although informal activities help to define an English identity. The long-running English television soap opera Coronation Street is a fixture on CBC and Coronation Street fan clubs flourish in many Canadian cities. But as the generations passed and the class accents of England dissolved into Canadian speech, the divisions of the homeland's sharply stratified society have blurred. If the descendants of the English in Canada are now vertically divided, it is more by wealth than by birth. The snobbish English enclaves of WESTMOUNT and VICTORIA are almost as obsolete as that uniquely English institution, the once numerous corps of REMITTANCE MEN - feckless sons of wealthy families paid to stay in Canada. Many of the remittance men died during WWI; the rest finally vanished when currency restrictions ended their English subsidies during WWII.
A number of Canadian institutions - some of them very important - have been profoundly influenced by English models and are still largely supported by Canadians of English stock. Representative institutions and the traditions of the British and English COMMON LAW are among the most important inheritances Canada has received from Great Britain.
The parliamentary system, under which the Cabinet, which rules the country, is responsible to Parliament, is an extension of the British Cabinet system to colonial government embodied in the British North America Act of 1867. In the realm of LAW, the civil law in 9 of Canada's provinces (the exception is Québec, where French CIVIL LAW is maintained) is based largely on English common law; the system of courts follows the English model closely.
Another institution is the exclusive club frequented by businessmen and professionals which exists in all Canadian cities and is modelled directly on the clubs of London's West End; until recently, like their English counterparts, many clubs excluded women and non Anglo-Saxons. These are inherited from a transformed English class system now based less on descent than on fortune. The PRIVATE SCHOOL, based on the English public school is another exclusive institution. The English maintain private schools in Canada not to preserve their culture but to maintain, in a changed form, their traditional class system.
The Anglican Church, formerly the Church of England in Canada, is perhaps the largest of the distinctively English institutions, transplanted almost unchanged from the homeland (seeANGLICANISM). About 50% of Canadians of English descent adhere to it; the rest belong to the United Church and some smaller Protestant sects, with a relatively small minority being Roman Catholics. Institutions such as the RED CROSS, the Boy SCOUTS and the GIRL GUIDES were also brought from England.
Finally, English workingmen brought to Canada their own traditions of trade unions and social democracy. Trade unionists from Britain have comprised the labour elite in Canada. In 1965 over 70% of the top posts in Canadian labour unions were held by people of British (mainly English) descent; about 50% of union executives were of British descent in 1990. Canadian labour unions as they exist today are a hybrid of American and English forms, but their militancy is Anglo-Scottish in character. Politically, Canada is distinct in North America because, unlike the US, it has a viable party (the NEW DEMOCRATIC PARTY, previously the CO-OPERATIVE COMMONWEALTH FEDERATION) dedicated to democratic socialism, which was founded and built mainly by English, Welsh and Scots reared in the traditions of the British Independent Labour Party and later of the Labour Party. To this day the NDP operates more like an Anglo-Scottish party than an American one, and its structure - of constituency branches combined with labour unions - reflects that of the Labour Party in Britain.
English cultural activities have permeated Canada, largely through the dominance of the English language outside Québec and northwest New Brunswick. This is true especially in literature. The influence of English traditions and English models has inevitably been profound, and it is only within the present generation that a distinctive English Canadian literature has really emerged. Yet there has never been a distinctive literature of Englishmen writing to preserve or portray English culture in Canada, as there has been one of, for example, Icelanders writing to preserve an Icelandic culture. Again, the English person's sense of being part of the dominant culture precludes particularism; immigrant writers from England have quickly found their places in the Canadian setting, and in helping to form a Canadian literature an English tradition has been freely modified to its North American milieu.

Tiny bubbles(?) on my hornwort
I can't figure out what these are. They look like tiny bubbles, but I suppose they could be eggs or something else. It is only showing up on my hornwort, and only in the 15g tank.
They are hard to remove, they don't just pop like air bubbles. But they do come off with a few attempts.. But at the same time I don't feel anything when I try (it is not sticky or slimy).
Here is a picture:
And here is my tank setup:
15g - 15 gallon Freshwater fish tank
I thought it could it be that my male Betta is trying to build a nest. But there are no females in the tank and they seem way too small.
Any ideas?
Its kind of hard to tell from the quality of the picture but my guess would be some sort of algae just from the simple fact there is so much of it.
looks like mold almost.....
Thanks! Sounds like it's 'not good' either way. Since I have plenty of healthy hornwort in my 10g and it grows like mad, I threw the whole batch out! :)

T cells recognize antigens only when bound by antigen presenting molecules. Peptides generated in the cytosol are transported into the ER where they bind MHC class I molecules, while MHC class II molecules are directed to endocytic compartments were they bind peptides. Thus antigen-binding is essentially determined by the differential trafficking and loading compartments of MHC class I and II molecules. Now, it is recognized that lipid antigens also can be recognized by T cells when presented by CD1 molecules. Like MHC molecules, trafficking determines where each of the CD1 isoforms binds antigens. CD1a traffics mainly through early endosomes and the early recycling compartment, while CD1b and CD1d traffic instead to late endosomes and lysosomes. Antigen binding occurs when CD1 molecules and lipid antigens intersect in these endosomal compartments. Since CD1 molecules bind lipid antigens in distinct endocytic compartments, they must then recycle or travel outbound to the cells surface. We and others have defined many of the key features of CD1 assembly in the ER, delivery to the cell surface and then internalization to localize in endosomes where lipid antigens are bound. Here, we developed a custom shRNA "trafficking" library and applied it in a screen to identify molecular mediators of CD1d recycling through lysosomes that is essential to deliver these molecules from the endosome compartments where they bind antigens to the cell surface where they can be recognized by T cells. We found, for the first time, that novel members of the Ras family of small GTPases, called Arl proteins, in particular Arl8, are essential regulators of lysosomal trafficking that is important in antigen presentation and phago-lysosome fusion. First, we will examine how lysosomal trafficking is blocked resulting in lysosome clustering in Arl8b shRNA knockdown or dominant- negative mutant expressing cells (Aim 1). Then, we will determine the role of Arl8b in the trafficking and presentation of antigens by CD1b and CD1d molecules that must traffic to lysosomes to acquire their lipid antigens and then deliver them to the cell surface for recognition (Aim 2). Beyond these CD1 antigen presenting molecules, MHC class II molecules also must traffic to and acquire antigens in lysosomes before delivering them to the cells surface. We will determine how Arl8b blocks MHC class II antigen presentation and their trafficking to the surface in the physiologically important process of dendritic cell maturation (Aim 3). We will then examine the role of Arl8b in the lysosomal trafficking necessary for delivery of its content to phagosomes in phago-lysosome fusion (Aim 4). Finally, we will identify molecules that bind Arl8b (Arl8 effectors) that enable it to mediate lysosomal trafficking through linkage to tethers, Rabs and the microtubular cytoskeleton (Aim 5). These studies will provide new insights into the biology of lysosomal trafficking and reveal how it impacts antigen-presenting molecules and other lysosomal contents that travel out from their endocytic locations to reach critical destinations at the cell surface (for T cell recognition) or to phagosomes (for microbial killing).
Antigen presentation by CD1 and MHC molecules is responsible for eliciting adaptive immunity. Here we determine how CD1 and MHC molecules that have bound microbial antigens are able to travel to the cell surface of antigen presenting cells to simulate T lymphocyte immune responses. Understanding how this pathway of antigen presentation works will make it possible to optimize it to generate effective vaccines for a wide variety of microbial infections. Further, we determine what regulates the process of how cells kill microbes by fusing the vesicles containing the organisms with vesicles that contain factors that can destroy the infections agents.

(((((Hugs, and God Bless!)))))
(((((You are Welcome, Sweet FRiend)))))
A wonderful message.
Thank you, Kitty Mittens. It IS a perfect Scripture to take into our heart at the beginning of a New Year!
Blessings to you and those you love. (((HUGS)))
You are welcome, this was the song I was looking for when I stumbled across that great one. Much the same theme.
Who at my door is Standing, Eddy Arnold
Yes it was a wonderful song. I love photos of horses as much as I love them of dogs, puppies and kittens.
I'm hooked on old time gospel and southern gospel with a little blue grass thrown in. My I Phone has mostly gospel on it, with a few country songs. I am a fan of George Straight, Alan Jackson, Trace Adkins and Garth Brooks, along with the Oak Ridge Boys
As we look forward to the New Year with plans and resolutions, the voices of godly men from the past encourage us to think about something we prefer to ignoreour own death.
Thomas à Kempis (13791471) wrote, Happy is he that always hath the hour of his death before his eyes and daily prepareth himself to die. And Francois Fénelon (16511715) wrote, We cannot too greatly deplore the blindness of men who do not want to think of death, and who turn away from an inevitable thing which we could be happy to think of often. Death only troubles carnal people.
These men were not referring to a depressing preoccupation with dying, but a dynamic approach to living. We, like the psalmist David, should pray: Lord, make me to know my end, and what is the measure of my days, that I may know how frail I am. . . . Certainly every man at his best state is but vapor (Ps. 39:4-5). David speaks of people who work in vain, heaping up wealth with no idea of who will get it (v.6). He concludes by affirming that his hope is in God, who alone can keep him from a life of spiritual rebellion and disaster (vv.7-8).
As we place our hope in God, the brevity of our life on earth is worth consideringevery day.
Read: Psalm 39:4-13
This may not sound like a gospel song, but it truly is, it is about a life turned around to follow the Lord, instead of the devil. Mr. Russell is no longer with us, he is with our Lord.
Johnny Russell "The Baptism of Jesse Taylor"
When we read the treasure of the Scriptures we are instructed in what pleases God. We respond to our belief. Do we have the faith of a mustard seed?"
Faith is a necessity. Like the apostles asked of Jesus ... 'increase our faith'. To know God is the way.
Praise the LORD, in Jesus name, amen.

Happy Birthday GeeBee!!!
My brother and I share tomorrow for our birthday.
(((((Thank you for the Post, Dear Gail!)))))
(((((Happy New Year, Brother Dave!)))))
Glad you liked it. It has always been one of my favorites. Most don't understand it is truly a gospel song, not an inspriritional one like Jesus Take the Wheel that Carrie does. And no one does it as well as the late Johnny Russell.
Heroes by the Issacs, this one is for all of you with special needs children, because you are their Heroes.
We were just snugged down for sleep, and about then was when the first fire works woke us all the way up. It's rare for us to 'see' in the new year. Hubby had a slice of pie, I had water and watched A Christmas Angel and the rest of the Kenny Rogers special we've been watching in bits and pieces for the past 3 days. Love Netflix. :-)
Happy New Year, NicknamedBob!
Happy New Year, Potlatch!
Beauty, wealth, power, love, marriage, and pleasure are good things, but theyre not the best. The best is loving God and taking in His lovebringing Him glory and making Him our friend for life. That leads to the best possible life because it gives us satisfaction and joy now (John 10:10), and its what Christians are going to be doing forever.
Thats why we should make time for God and rest in His lovethe love that made you and me. It is the reason for our existence and the means by which we will make the most of our lives.
I like the way the psalmist put it: It is good for me to draw near to God; I have put my trust in the Lord God, that I may declare all Your works (Ps. 73:28). In other words, the good life is drawing close to the One who loves us like no other.
And how can we draw close to Him? Heres a practice I began many years ago: Take a few minutes every morning to read some verses from the Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John) and note what Jesus said or did. After all, He came to show us what God is like (Heb. 1:1-3). Put yourself in the storyin the place of the leper He healed with His loving touch, for example (Mark 1:40-45). Think about how much He loves you and then thank Him!
Read: Psalm 73:21-28
I dozed off early and woke up in the wee hours..I had Hershey's Nuggets..LOL
Happy New Year Amy and the same to all of the tremendous FReepers at your place.
Beautiful prayer and video, yorkie.
Amen..God bless you, (((potlatch)))
Thank you, (((Kitty)))
Happy New Year, y'all!
Each morning we have a new day, a new opportunity to do good, to do good works, to love God and to love our brethren. This is not to taken lightly. It is the command of God. Millions of people on earth have not met a Christian, nor heard the Good News of Jesus Christ. What a responsibility Christians have to tell the good news of our Lord and Savior, and to support the missionaries that go into Africa, China, India, in areas where Islam has been taught like Darfar. etc..
Pray to God for strength and energy directed in an effective way to those that seek to know God. Please LORD help us to tell your story. In Jesus name, amen.
Hi Silent Gypsy!! Happy New Year in 2013!!
Thank you, and may God Bless YOU, too, Luv! Happy New Year!

Man accused of setting fire to motel room
SANTA ANA – A Fountain Valley man with several felony convictions has been charged with causing an explosion that started a fire inside his motel room, prosecutors said Tuesday.
Thanh Van Quang, 38, was charged with residential burglary, arson and possession of a flammable material with sentencing enhancements for arson with use of an accelerant.
He has four convictions from 1998 for voluntary manslaughter, assault with a firearm and two felony counts of robbery.
If convicted, Quang faces a maximum sentence of 31 years to life in state prison.
Authorities said Quang started an argument with the manager at Pueblo Motel in Santa Ana about guests in his motel room at 2:30 p.m. on Nov. 30. An hour later, prosecutors said, Quang walked to a nearby gas station, bought a gas canister and filled it with a gallon of gas.
Quang's motel room exploded about 4 p.m. Several other rooms were damaged. Quang was captured on surveillance video removing several items from his room before the explosion, prosecutors said.

Increased evidence suggests that epigenetic mechanisms play an important role in the control of cellular functions in living organisms and are currently considered as a driving force of the development, phenotypic plasticity and evolutionary adaptation. Evidence accumulated in recent years suggests that higher-order chromatin organization, spatial arrangement of genes and their distal regulatory elements within the nuclear space, as well as nuclear compartmentalization of chromatin-remodeling complexes and transcription machinery play an important role in controlling gene expression. Melanocytes are highly specialized, pigment-producing cells populating in the epidermis and hair follicles. Despite significant advances in melanocyte and chromatin biology, basic principles of topological organization of melanocyte-specific genes and their enhancer elements in the nucleus, as well as fundamental mechanisms controlling the remodeling of higher-order chromatin structure of these genes during active melanin production still remain unclear. We hypothesize that three-dimensional organization of key pigment genes and their enhancer elements in the nucleus and topological interactomes with other genes are functionally important for execution of pigmentary transcription program, while activation of melanin synthesis requires substantial higher-order chromatin remodeling and spatial re- arrangements of melanocyte-specific loci and their enhancer elements in the nucleus. This hypothesis will be addressed via two Specific Aims: 1) Define the genomic neighborhood and topological interactomes of pigment-specific gene loci and correlate them with nuclear positioning of the distal enhancer elements in melanocytes;2) Delineate the role of ATP- dependent chromatin remodeler BRG1 in the control of organization of topological interactomes for lineage-specific genes and their enhancer elements in melanocytes. Thus, this exploratory project will provide important background for further research on how topological organization on melanogenic genes in the nucleus is altered in pigmentation disorders associated either with melanocyte loss (vitiligo), or expansion (melanoma). These data will also be helpful for designing new approaches for pharmacological correction of pigmentary disorders based on modulation of higher-order chromatin structure and remodeling.
Pigmentation is a process of melanin synthesis in highly specialized cells called melanocytes. Pigmentary disorders, such as melanoma, vitiligo, hair grain and others, represent a significant problem for the society, and knowledge of the pathobiological mechanisms underlying their development is highly important for the design of novel approaches for their treatment. The goal of the study to investigate how spatial arrangement of pigment genes in the nucleus is important for establishment of melanocyte- specific gene expression program and pigment production.

Reader William Froment sent me this wonderful recipe he created with two of our popular infusions, Jolly Ranchers Vodka and Salted Caramel Vodka. I'm calling it William's Caramel Appletini in his honor. William prefers rum to vodka in this one. I've made the infusion both ways, too, and I can assure you they are pretty much interchangeable in these … [Read more...]
Purple Pushover drink recipe
The Purple Pushover is a mostly rum-based cocktail, with orange and pineapple juice, and some very clear notes from a red raspberry liqueur and grenadine. The taste is fruity and sweet - more mellow than citrus. Mixing a Purple Pushover is interesting to watch, so this is a great drink to serve to guests you want to impress with your bartending … [Read more...]
Blue Long Island drink recipe
Once upon a time, it must have occurred to someone that the Long Island Iced Tea was nearly perfect, except for one thing: it wasn't blue. The Blue Long Island cocktail swaps out the cola from the Long Island Iced Tea for blue Curaçao. That makes this a delicious and very refreshing cocktail that's all about the orange and lemon flavors. The recipe … [Read more...]
Peking Cocktail recipe
The Peking Cocktail is a rum based drink with a hint of anise flavor. That's the Pernod, a liqueur flavored with Chinese star anise. With grenadine lemon juice, it becomes a very refreshing cocktail. You only use one-fourth of an ounce of the Pernod, so it's not overpowering. I'm one of those people who find the flavor of anise or black licorice rather, … [Read more...]
Port Elderflower original cocktail recipe
The Port Elderflower cocktail is a lightly sweet concoction I put together one night when I was in the mood for port. I got to wondering what it tastes like with one of my favorite liqueurs, St. Germain Elderflower. You don't run into port cocktails that much. We usually think of port as a sipping spirit rather than the basis of a cocktail. This … [Read more...]
Santa Cruz Daisy
The Santa Cruz Daisy cocktail is rum-based with lime, soda and maraschino liqueur. It's a refreshing drink for summer - lightly fruity and sweet enough for most palates. This is one of those old-fashioned recipes that calls for splashes and dashes and "the juice of 1/2 lime". I don't know about you, but when I go lime shopping, I'm confronted with … [Read more...]
Misty Mint drink recipe, with just two little ingredients
The Misty Mint cocktail is ridiculously easy to make. It's a twist on a recipe I found in a book once, which was even simpler: just creme de menthe over ice. But for some - like me - that's an overwhelming concentration of mint flavor. So I came up with this drink recipe, as a refreshing yet still simple alternative. You could use vodka in place of … [Read more...]
Sex in the Driveway
The Sex in the Driveway cocktail is a variation on the Sex on the Beach recipe. The main difference is the stunning blue color and the loss of cranberry juice. It's very much a blend of peach, orange and lemon-lime. This drink is definitely on the sweeter side, but the Sprite adds a nice tartness to it. It's also a strong drink, but because there's so … [Read more...]

We're down to our final two in the Big Ten preseason player countdown, based on past performance and potential impact for the 2011 season. Should the No. 1 guy on this list not be able to fulfill his duties, the crown will go to our runner-up ...
No. 2: Denard Robinson, QB, Michigan, Jr., 6-0, 193
2010 numbers: Completed 182-of-291 passes for 2,570 yards with 18 touchdowns and 11 interceptions; Ran 256 times for 1,702 yards and 14 touchdowns; set FBS record for rushing yards by a quarterback while leading the Big Ten in rushing and total offense. He is the first player in FBS history to have more than 2,000 pass yards and 1,500 rush yards in the same season.
Why he's here: The Big Ten's 2010 offensive player of the year would have won the Heisman Trophy last season had the award been handed out in October. As it stood, he still ranked as the most scintillating player in the league if not the nation when healthy and on his game. "Shoelace" could take a broken play or designed run for a touchdown at any time, and if you crowded the line too much to stop him, he could beat you over the top with his arm.
On the downside, Robinson got banged up and had trouble finishing games because of all the hits he took, and his accuracy in the passing game suffered against the best Big Ten opponents. Still, Michigan never would have made it to a bowl game last year without his heroics, as he often had to direct scoring drives after his own defense gave up one.
We also have to remember than 2010 was Robinson's first year as a full-time starter. So he should get better with more experience, though he is entering a new offensive system under new coaches this year, and it remains to be seen how he and the Wolverines will adjust. Robinson is expected to be under center more this season, but offensive coordinator Al Borges will want to take advantage of his quarterback's unique talents. Those talents make him one of the very best players in the Big Ten.
No. 25: Chris Borland, LB, Wisconsin
No. 24: Michael Mauti, LB, Penn State
No. 23: Marvin McNutt, WR, Iowa

Diddy Asks Fashion's Finest to Contribute to Album
We've heard of musicians becoming designers, but designers becoming musicians? Hip-hop mogul Diddy set out to do just that with his new album.
Vogue magazine's Andre Leon Talley blogged that Diddy-Dirty Money's album Last Train to Paris featured a number of influential people in the fashion industry, including himself, Vogue senior editor Anna Wintour and designers Marc Jacobs, Isaac Mizrahi and Tommy Hilfiger.
Talley blogged about the experience, writing: "During Fashion Week last year, [Diddy] sent out the call via e-mail and voice mail to high-fashion friends to come to his studio to participate in the record. ... He's like great creative thinkers in music who love fashion. ... For my part, I recited words by James Baldwin, and Diddy respected it enough to leave it intact. Last Train to Paris is totally twenty-first-century Diddy cool."
According to Glamour magazine, for fashionista Wintour's part, she says: "This is Anna Wintour from Vogue magazine. You are now listening to the Last Train to Paris."
The album is to be released Dec. 14.

Model OM-VLT is a programmable temperature data logger, strip
recorder and alarm device with integral digital display. The easy to
follow menu driven programming is done via the front panel keys.
The unit records, saves and prints up to 290 temperature readings at
predefined intervals. The OM-VLT produces an alarm when the
temperature goes out of the defined range or after the
temperature remains out of range for a certain period of time. The
OM-VLT prints temperature data directly via the integral printer and
can also send temperature data to an external PC. Communications
with a PC is done by using Windows Hyperterminal software
so no additional software is required. The OM-VLT can also
send alarms to an external device via the built-in relay contact.

buzzer silencer switch (OM-VLTSK) which momentarily shorts the
buzzer silencer contacts on the data logger. The alarm buzzer can also
be enabled or disabled via the data logger front panel menu
Temperature Alarm Operation: If the measured temperature goes outside the maximum
or minimum temperature limits for an amount of time equal to the defined alarm delay period (if any), an alarm is
sent ¢ the internal buzzer sounds (if enabled), an alarm is sent to an
external device via the alarm relay contact (if enabled) and the alarm
LED lights.

Community-Based Learning (CBL) began as a grass-roots movement among faculty and staff who believed in the potential of education to transform students' lives and society. Now as a formal program under Academic Affairs, it provides support across all disciplines through assistance with community-based learning course implementation, professional development, and resources. The program supports the Mission, Vision, and Values of PCC and serves everyone under the PCC umbrella throughout the district.
PCC is proud of its faculty who are connecting their course learning objectives and reflection exercises with community involvement! They have been providing thousands of PCC students educational opportunities to volunteer, learn about social issues, and make a difference in their communities.
What is Community-Based Learning?
At PCC, Community-Based Learning (CBL) is a teaching method that integrates reciprocal partnerships, community engagement, and critical reflection to meet institutional and course outcomes while developing individual, civic, and social responsibility. Faculty choose to teach courses with a community-based learning component (either optional or required) as a way to engage students in the classroom. Students in these courses actively participate in the community and relate their experiences to the course material through various methods of reflection (discussion, journal entry, written report, presentation, etc.).
Why Community-Based Learning?
Excerpts from student evaluations and journals:
- I'm glad my sociology class got me to start volunteering. It's something I've always wanted to do yet I needed a bit of a push!
- I wasn't working on something that felt familiar and comfortable, I was in the process of learning completely new skills while at the same time applying them to my real life. I couldn't have asked for a more rewarding and challenging academic experience.
- I loved asking the lady I was folding paper cranes with how long she lived in Oregon and suddenly her amazing life story came out to me unhindered...
- This project has made me want to pursue my interests because I have gained a confidence that I can and will do excellent things by virtue of my passion for them.
- This project has shown me how important it is to actually go out and become a part of the community and in doing so has provided me with an invaluable opportunity to gain real world knowledge that no textbook can teach.
Program History
In 1994, two Sylvania campus faculty members, Gary Lesniak (Psychology) and Porter Raper (Writing) received an institutional curriculum development grant through the Teaching Learning Center to work with the PCC Foundation to establish the "Service to Community Scholarship" and link it with their curriculum. At that time, the students who were awarded the scholarship enrolled in both Gary and Porter's courses. The students did 20 hours of service in the community while applying the psychology concepts they were learning in Gary's class and they wrote about the experience in Porter's class. This was also the year that PCC joined National campus Compact, due, in part, to the efforts of Mandi Ellertson and Kendi Esary, Student Leadership Coordinators.
The next year, Porter and Gary began to set-up informal gatherings with other faculty to look for ways to incorporate service into their classes. During this time, they also began to attend conferences to learn more about Service-Learning. With support from other faculty, they applied for another institutional grant to establish a district committee on Service-Learning. This type of Service-Learning program was a new concept for colleges and universities in Oregon. Porter and Gary were asked to speak with administrators and faculty around the state. This began PCC's rise to becoming a national Service-Learning model. During this time, PCC received press in the Oregonian and the Portland Business Journal.
Once a substantial number of faculty members came on board, Porter and Gary applied for yet another institutional grant to get release time for a district Service-Learning faculty coordinator. The first Faculty Coordinator was Porter Raper in 1998. This was the beginning of the formal Service-Learning Program at PCC. The early Service-Learning program at PCC encompassed a variety of classes in both the professional technical and transfer courses. Faculty members were encouraged to try Service-Learning through small, institutionally funded curriculum development grants. In 2013 the Service-Learning program rebranded itself as the Community-Based Learning program.

Peter Dyr is a life-long enthusiast of ancient Sumerian literature and the primary goal of his research and writing is to re-incorporate the original Old Babylonian tablets back into the overarching Gilgamesh story, make the Epic easy to read for the non-specialist and to highlight and discuss some of the concepts our ancient ancestors considered so important that they were verbally transmitted for many generations before being immortalized in clay around 4,000 years ago.
Review by:
Jose Fernandez
on Sep. 05, 2013 :
This is a great book that teaches us to live life to the fullest. and seize the day, it is good advice. Like the John
Lennon saying 'life is what happens to you when you make other plans' its very true. in this day of modern choice
we have so much to choose to do that we end up contemplating everything and end up with nothing. life is very simple
when you look at it. eat, be merry, have a wife, and child, enjoy family life, this is all quite normal things
that every man can choose to do.These elements, highlighted by the story of Siduri, are good tales to live by.
Regarding the story of the Epic of King Gilgamesh, it is a good introduction to this classic story and to the philosophies
of how we should live our lives.Simply put only too often get caught up, in life's plans when we should in fact learn to stop and smell the roses.

Potentilla vesca (woodland strawberry)
Potentilla vesca (woodland strawberry) (Photo: Wolfgang Stuppy)
Species information
Potentilla vesca (L.) Scop.
woodland strawberry, wild strawberry
Widespread and not considered to be threatened.
Open woodland and scrub, especially on lime-rich soils.
Food and drink.
Skin contact with 'fruits' and leaves can cause a raised, itchy rash in sensitised individuals; ingestion of 'fruits' can affect the skin, gastrointestinal system or respiratory system of sensitised individuals.
About this species
Woodland strawberry is a member of the rose family (Rosaceae).
Strawberries have a history of being considered genus Fragaria, but recent research suggests they belong in the genus Potentilla, which includes plants commonly known as cinquefoils and barren strawberries. They also have long been associated with the genus Potentilla (since at least 1771, when Italian taxonomist Scopoli transferred Fragaria to Potentilla).
The common name strawberry is thought to derive from streabariye used by a Benedictine monk in AD 995 to refer to the 'straying' habit of the plant due to its runners.
Fragaria vesca L., Fragaria chinensis Losinsk., Fragaria concolor Kitag.
