Course Descriptions
ENG 5010 Language & Linguistic Diversity
The purpose of this course is to help prepare instructors to teach and assess linguistically diverse student populations effectively. Topics include both the nature of language variation (register vs. dialect, sociolect, and ideolect; bilingualism) and the specifics of selected language varieties (dialect and sociolect traits; foreign accent). Emphasis is placed on understanding the various aspects of the concept of 'grammaticality' and recognizing the effects of our society's dominant language ideology on education, including its practical impact on teaching effectiveness, child development assessments, and standardized testing.
ENG 590A/5210 Writing about Multicultural Literature for Young Readers
This course examines representative works by people of color and those that depict diverse ethnicities that are frequently taught in the secondary English language arts classroom. Students will use a variety of literary theories to consider approaches to presenting these works to secondary students. Instruction will also include attention to the techniques of teaching secondary students to analyze texts and to write about literature.
ENG 590B Visual Rhetoric and Writing
This course explores some of the ways in which visual information are used to influence viewers' opinions, beliefs, attitudes, and behavior (the art of rhetoric) in written communication. Students will learn theories of visual rhetorical criticisms and examine different strategies for integrating words and images.
ENG 590E College Writing: Theories and Inclusive Practices
The central goal of this course is to help students locate those theories that will best ground and enrich their own inclusive pedagogical approaches to teaching college-level writing. Students will look at the major theoretical foundations and current research for teaching college writing. In addition, the course will look at how theory informs practice in order to help the student become an effective college-level writing teacher committed to theoretically-sophisticated, reflective, inclusive and professional teaching.
ENG 5710 Cultural Concepts in Film Adaptation
Students examine various directors' and cultures' adaptations of popular, canonical authors (e.g. Shakespeare, Dickens, Austen, Fitzgerald) literature to film. Focus starts with the work of early silent filmmakers and moves to major directors' adaptations of the written works. Studies include reading the original texts, studying theories and techniques of adaptations, and studying cinematic forms and cultural contexts.
ENG 5810 Rhetoric of Diversity
Students will explore how we talk and think about diversity, including racial, gender and sexuality, ethnicity, and class, and the intersections of these categories. Students will explore the ways in which diversity is socially constructed. The central goal of the course is for students to understand the material implications of the rhetoric of diversity.

One of the greatest of all Greek tragedies – savage, comic and intensely lyrical – The Bacchae powerfully dramatises the conflict between the emotional and rational sides of the human psyche. The magnetic young Dionysus – icon, hedonist, god – returns home with his cult of female followers to exact his revenge, unleashing the full force of female sexuality on the city.
David Greig's version of The Bacchae premiered at the King's Theatre, Edinburgh, in August 2007 in a co-production between the Edinburgh International Festival and the National Theatre of Scotland.

So now the nation knows. After almost four months of television, Michelle Dewberry has been chosen by Sir Alan Sugar to be his "apprentice", and I wish her every success. But, although I am reluctant to knock anything that gets people interested in the world of work, I fear that the reputation of "business" has taken another undeserved and very dangerous hammering in the eyes of the general public.
Driven by the need to be entertaining and achieve decent ratings, The Apprentice portrays business in a nasty light, prehistoric in its treatment of people and utterly brutal in its pursuit of the bottom line at all costs.
Sadly, that is representative of the way business is usually portrayed in the media and, in turn, understood by the wider public, worryingly including schools. All too often the bad guy in popular soap operas is the businessman - from Paul Robinson in Neighbours to Ian Beale in EastEnders.
All these caricatures are at odds with the realities of the successful modern workplace, where the way things get done is through leadership, inspiration, trust, team working and investment in staff. People are the greatest assets of all businesses, and whatever trade unions might say, those who run the businesses of the UK know it.
The poor images of an older guy in a Roller screaming "you're fired" through the smoke of his cigar sticks in the public mindset, and most clearly in the minds of the young - the very people we are reliant on to drive our business and economic success in the future. And while a small minority might be encouraged to choose a career as an entrepreneur or elsewhere in business, my fear is that many more could be put off from a path that can bring a sense of pride and allow people to make something of themselves.
This lack of understanding about the way business works is not just confined to sections of the TV-viewing public. Although it is by no means the norm, we still see decisions made by civil servants or politicians that betray a desperately poor understanding of business. Politicians of all parties continue to make the right noises about the importance of business to society. They profess to understand that business is the only creator of wealth in modern society, the motor of growth and prosperity that directly or indirectly funds the schools, hospitals and railways upon which we rely.
Yet anti-business rhetoric is increasingly creeping into political language as the fight for the centre ground intensifies. It is too easy to play to the gallery and portray business in this way - but it is a cheap result which does not achieve anything.
As the numbers game in Parliament and the public finances get ever tighter, more and more measures are emerging from the Government that hurt business's ability to create that wealth. Not least, the dramatic increase in the tax burden on business - up by a staggering £60bn since 1997.
But businesses only have the right, in my view, to ask the democratically elected leaders of this country to allow that wealth creation process to happen if we are socially inclusive in the way that we go about our wealth creation. We have to win the respect of those we affect by our actions. We have no right to it. And if it is there to be won, it is there also to be lost.
Politicians will respond to those people whose respect we win because they need them for their livelihood and power. So it is for us in business to be socially inclusive in our wealth creation. We have to be better trainers of our people. We have to equip them and give them confidence in their own abilities in a very frightening globalised world, a world in which the rise of India and China is relentless.
Our young people must feel equipped to cope in a world where being skilled is the only route to secure employment (in both the private and public sectors) and employers have the responsibility to reach out, down and under to ensure that all of society is welcomed into the world of skilled work.
But others have to be responsible too. I believe we are blessed with probably the best journalists and media in the world. Their quality and investigative zeal keep politicians and others in public life more honest than their counterparts elsewhere in the world. Our national newspapers devote increasing amounts of space to business issues.
So now is the time for our broadcasters to really step up to the plate. They need to build on the current interest in reality TV, and an increasingly intense political battleground, to produce more and better business coverage - both in their news and entertainment programming. This would not only do business a favour - it would do the nation a great service too.

I have a Playbook 32 GB version, and my front camera is not working, it seems that the issue started occuring after i upgraded to OS 2.1, i am not sure at thei point, because i hardly use the front camer, it gives me an error 4003 picture, when i try to click any pictures, i had rebooted it several times, but no use, please let me know the next action which i can perform, please dont suggest to go to the service center, because i had very bad experience with your service center in INDIA from Redington.
I have the same problem myself since I update to 22.214.171.1242 and found out both camera and video cam doesn't work and shows camera error .4003. It work before updating it and having fun snapping photos and taking video cam on it. It only work if I uses video chatting where front camera still functions. Is there any help on this since I bought it abroad and brought it home with me in Brunei. Any fix on this?
Same problem here. The camera stopped working on my 16gb Playbook after the 22.214.171.1242 update. I've tried rebooting, and deleting recently installed programs. Neither one works. The video chat program works though which is strange. It leads me to believe there is either a program conflict with an old program I have installed, or the update caused problems with the camera program.
I Belive RIM is not intrested in their existing customers queries, Its been 2 weeks now, but still no reply from RIM Forum Moderators, Day by day RIM services are becoming worst, I was thinking to wait still BB10 launch, but now after seeing this kind of support, i am planning to buy a Iphone 5 or galaxy Note 2.
Forum moderators are here to cut out bad language, politics or bullying, not to respond to your tech requests. Contact RIM or else accept any advice given here by fellow customers.
If for example the camera "does not work" but does work in Videochat then it points to software conflict.
Using the debrick method, reinstall software from scratch. Backup first, do no restore until you have tested the problem.
Make sure you know your Blackberry ID and password
If you can, backup important data. Preferably by wifi share drag n drop as well as desktop backup.
Turn Playbook right off (i.e. Shut Down)
Ensure you have the latest Blackberry Desktop Software to your PC or Mac and start it up
Connect the Playbook by USB cable.
If the red light starts to glow press the Off button.
Because Playbook is off you will get an error message basically saying Retry or Update (on Mac it says repair rather than Update)
Quickly select the Update (or repair) option
The Playbook will start to get a new OS that will take a good hour to download via the PC
Follow the registration process using your current Blackberry ID
(at this point test your problem again)
Add back your email accounts etc.
Reinstall your apps from App World, My World.
Copy back your data.
(test your problem again)
You may lose data permanently!
I have already tried this optins, but still the same failuer message, I dont want to go the service center, because the service center ( Redinton India), has more worst service, I would request some to suggest some other steps, which i can try.
there are only 2 normal options, call RIM who will go through a debrick, or do a debrick then call RIM. If it's under warranty under your country's consumer regulations you should get a new one. If you got it online good luck.
I belive debrick is the the step which you suggested me earlier,correct me if i am wrong,
yogesh_gowda wrote:I belive debrick is the the step which you suggested me earlier,correct me if i am wrong,
yes you are correct, debrick is the process I described earlier with the heading "debrick" .
How do i downgrade the OS to 2.0 instead ing of 2.1, i have been tryhaing to do that, but i am unable to do that, because everytime i do that it ask to upgrade now or later, if i select later, then the second questions it asks to you want to continue or standby, and i have no option to downgrade instead of upgrade , do let me know if you have idea for the same.

After the first period:
Kings 0, Colorado Avalanche 0
The good: The Kings lifted Dustin Penner off a big hook after he got careless with his stick and committed a double-minor high-sticking penalty during the second half of the period. The penalty-kill unit wiped out the first 3:11 of the penalty and Colorado defenseman Kyle Quincy did the rest, getting whistled for interference on Kings forward Dustin Brown as he tried to beat Quincy to the puck in the offensive zone. Kings goalie Jonathan Quick, making his sixth consecutive start on his 26th birthday, stopped 10 shots during the period, but didn't see any during the power play.
The bad: The Kings managed just four shots on net in the period, including just one over the final 15:11. Kings forward Mike Richards drew an interference penalty 1:18 into the game and the Kings immediately had a prime scoring chance, but Justin Williams was turned away by Colorado goalie Jean-Sebastien Giguere. It turned out to be the only shot on goal during the penalty. Kings coach Darryl Sutter has been spreading out the specials teams' minutes, but it was still a surprise to see Willie Mitchell, Brad Richardson and Trevor Lewis on the second power-play unit. The three have combined for six goals this season. The Kings are the lowest-scoring team in the league and need to go with their firepower on the power plays. Kings rookie defenseman Slava Voynov had a big turnover in his defensive end, telegraphing a cross-ice clearing pass that Cody McLeod intercepted with nothing but ice in front of him. Fortunately, Quick stepped up with a big save.
The in between: The San Jose Sharks lost in regulation to Vancouver earlier in the day, so a victory by the Kings in regulation would move them back atop the Pacific Division standings.

Mud, Sweat and Gears Series ( Eastern XC Series ) Race Report by Adam Hinchcliffe
Following on from my opening blog; it was my first race of the season a couple of weeks ago down in London at the Olympic Park for the Eastern XC series set up by the Mud, Sweat and Gears gang!
Nerves we're already setting in prior to the race at least two/three weeks before he kick off as I was wondering on how many possible outcomes of the race were there going to be? Not only with these thoughts but also with dark thought on, am I going to be fit enough? Am I going to be on form? etc. etc.
I have done a few of these events set up by the MSG guys and what a day they put on!
For most of the races below Birmingham (usually generally I class anything below Sheffield as the South or southerners!), I tend to go down the night before to get myself fully prepared before the event; I know there are some guys who do the one shot hit, but for me it suits to head down the day before. I can usually pre ride the course familiarise myself, and set myself up for the following day. I have always believed in the four P's! ( Poor Planning = Poor Performance).
We arrived the night before nice and relaxed, recce'd the course and completed basic admin tasks, and then settled for dinner in London with friends before a nice night's sleep.
The course was fantastic, man-made but great! A fast flowing single track course with many opportunities to overtake and take the lead! Not amazingly technical which suited me, but nonetheless exciting! We had a number of rock gardens to contest with nice following berms which when perfectly dry can gain some speed out of!
Race Day
Race day came along too quickly! Before knew it, we were up and having breakfast and away to the event!
Once parked up I went through my normal routine firstly signing on followed by checking bike, checking gear, preparing pre-race, race and post-race fuel and getting my post-race clothes ready!
I started off with my warm up and gently jogged for ten/fifteen minutes followed by a couple of warm up laps to gauge myself against the others, I met up with a couple of guys form my previous season racing who I went around with which helped relax my nerves.
The start was soon approaching…
I was on the start line right at the front in prime position to take the first corner.
The claxon went and we were off! I flew out of the start line like a bullet; I shocked myself. I hit the corner flat out straight onto flat open single track where I powered down. I focused purely on keeping myself out at the front; it was short lived!
The first lap went really quickly and I was nicely placed in the front group, with the 2nd group following closely. I stuck with the guys as long as I could, but unfortunately my handling skills let me down a few times in the corners and I started losing time. 5seconds here 5seconds there!
The second group swallowed me up quick but I was in a good position.
I was happy, It beat being at the back! Laps three, four and five went quickly. The aim for me was to stick in with this second group. It was a great battle taking the lead, dropping back but great in terms of finding out where my skills were, where and what I needed to practice and concentrate on for the future
Lap six came along and my energy started to dwindle. I held on as long as could to the finish.
I came in at 9th in the Elite/Expert category. Probably the best result I have ever had!
It was a positive for me; I learnt a lot but also had shown and proved that my fitness and skills were better than the previous season, and that my training hadn't been to waste!
Roll on the 19th for the Midlands XC series opener at Sherwood Pines!

Sci fi/Fantasy image by
Stesha CunninghamThis is a front view of Demon Cat Fairy! I messed up her wings and feet a bit, but at least it's a bigger picture. I'm not sure why I have to call her a 'Demon' fairy, because she's supposed to be nice, not evil. Maybe it's just because 'Cat Fairy' on it's own sounds a bit plain. I think that 'Demon Cat Fairy' just sounds a little bit better! She also looks like she needs a haircut. Well, she hasn't cut it in 10,000 years, so I suppose I can't blame her! :)

Danbury police arrest woman, seize 'substantial quantities' of drugs
Published 1:00 am, Friday, May 23, 2008
The drugs seized were heroin, crack cocaine, ecstasy, and prescription pills. Also taken was U.S. currency and drug paraphernalia, police said.
Ruggiero was arrested on multiple drug charges and an outstanding warrant in connection with identity theft and other charges.
Sgt. Lawrence Frinton said Ruggiero was not arraigned Friday, but was taken to Danbury Hospital because "she wasn't feeling well." He said he could not elaborate. Frinton said she will instead be arraigned Tuesday in Superior Court.
The investigation is continuing and more arrests are expected, police said.
Also, Sandy Almonte , 24, of Edgewood Street, was charged with possession of marijuana and will be arraigned June 4.
Danbury Police Capt. Robert Myles said, "The culmination of this investigation was the seizure of a substantial amount of drugs headed to the streets of Danbury. Unfortunately, for every major drug case that goes to court, many more remain, and people always seem ready to fill the void left by an arrest. The demand for the product is always there as well."
The Special Investigations Division received help in this case from the Emergency Services Unit and the Patrol Division.
Contact Karen Ali
at email@example.com
or at (203) 731-3341.
Charges against Patricia Ruggiero are:
Ruggiero was charged with possession of heroin, possession of heroin with intent to sell, possession of crack cocaine, possession of crack cocaine with intent to sell, possession of narcotics, possession of narcotics with intent to sell, possession of a hallucinogenic, possession of a hallucinogenic with intent to sell, possession of crack cocaine with intent to sell within 1,500 feet of a school, possession of narcotics with intent to sell within 1,500 feet of a school, possession of drug paraphernalia, and risk of injury to a minor.
Police served an outstanding warrant against her, and charged her with two counts of identity theft, two counts of making a false statement to procure a credit card, two counts of illegal use of a credit card, one count of fourth-degree larceny, and one count of sixth-degree larceny.

At the end of the quarter, many portfolio managers look to wash their hands of losers and start anew. This is an opportunity for you. In spite of all our economic troubles, all of those stocks resting at 52-week lows are not as bad as their stock prices would suggest.
Retail investors tried to play George Soros last month, flocking to the CurrencyShares Euro Trust in an effort to call a bottom in the still unfolding global crisis that has taken the currency mimicked by the ETF down to a four-year low today.
Charles Schwab shares are set to benefit as investors try to brave the choppy active trading waters — filled with Flash Crashes and currency collapses — alone, according to FBR Capital Markets.
What follows is a look at stocks in the S&P 500 displaying unusual volume in today's trading session.
As of this morning, about 10% of the S&P 500 companies have reported earnings. Here's a look at which companies have had the biggest surprises so far...
The Fed came out Tuesday, and in five short paragraphs suggested that the easy money trades are still on. What's your next move?
Although the knee-jerk reaction was to sell and ask questions later, is the Fed's rate hike a signal that the economy is improving?
Stocks paused Monday ahead of earnings season however industrials and ag surged higher with Potash and Mosaic hitting 52-week highs. How should you be positioned?

27 Mar 2017 4 Reasons Why You Should Clean That Email List by BriteVerify Category Agency Blog Internet Education Media Techtelligence Written by Guest Author How many times have you sent an email campaign to the same email list without verifying it? Our data suggests that approximately 15 percent of all email addresses are invalid. This means that if you do not verify your list, your message is not reaching one out of seven recipients. However, smart marketers know that it is essential to verify the list before each and every campaign. Here are the top benefits of verifying your email list before hitting send: Lower bounce rates. To you, bounce rates might be yet another email marketing metric, but email providers, blacklist operators and anti-spam networks monitor your bounce rates and hold them in high regard. These rates are then used to prioritize your sent emails in the inbox as well as compute your send reputation. Better sender reputation. A high bounce rate indicates spamming to your ESP and other email providers. This in turn lowers your sender reputation, which can eventually land you on a blacklist. By cleaning your email list before each campaign, you remove invalid addresses, therefore lowering your bounce rates and protecting your sender reputation. Higher ROI. Every missed inbox is a missed opportunity. You worked hard on your campaign, but your work is all for not if your customers never see your message. Lower bounce-back rates translate into a higher ROI for your campaign. Clear view into campaign performance. Bounce-backs cloud the picture of your campaign results, as an undeliverable email will never engage with your message. With a large number of undeliverable emails, you can kiss a good open, click through, and conversion rate goodbye. To judge the effectiveness, you need a valid list to effectively report on these metrics and gain actionable insights for your next campaign. These are only a few of many benefits of a clean email list. So before you send that next campaign, gut check the quality of your list first. This will help you gauge your campaign's true performance, protect your sender reputation and impress your boss. About BriteVerify BriteVerify provides real time email verification solutions that improve email data quality, Inbox deliverability and email marketing ROI. With offices in the U.S. and the U.K., BriteVerify helps over 20,000 organizations in 145 countries collect better email data and send smarter campaigns.

03 Mar 2017 High-Volume Email Marketing and the Switch to IPv6 Category Blog Current News Internet Education Media Resources Techtelligence Written by Guest Author Unless you are a high-volume mailer, learning about IPv4's successor, IPv6, can be as exhilarating as watching paint dry. Internet Protocol addresses (IPs), as a topic, lack pizazz. For people mailing more than a million messages a day though, IP talk can get borderline sexy. Good IPs are vital for success. That's why it's time to have the talk about IPv6. Internet land is fresh out of IPv4 (technically). But hardly anybody is using IPv6 (Why? see: time and money)! So, let's outline what's going on with the transition from IPv4 to IPv6. Why the Switch from 4 to 6? When the Internet was just a pup, 4.29 billion IPs seemed like enough. But the Internet has exploded. Now we have so many people, so many Internet-enabled devices and too little IPs. The American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) came to the rescue in 1998 by releasing IPv6. It has a dizzying number of hexadecimal addresses; 340,282,366,920, 938, 463, 374,607,431,768, 211,456 (340 undecillion for all you Jeopardy! Champions) to be exact. According to Steve Leibson, we could assign an IPv6 to every atom on the surface of the planet and still have plenty more to spare. Transitioning from 32 bit with IPv4 to 128 bit with IPv6 made all the difference. Why Should a Mailer Care about the Transition Serious mailers must posses above-average IP knowledge. The technical side of mailing demands it. If you are a computer dullard, just ground yourself in the basics. How Will the Transition Impact High-Volume Mailing Truth: nobody REALLY knows! What We Do Know About the Transition There Will Be Hick-Ups IPv4 and IPv6 cannot directly connect. Currently there are short-term workarounds put in place by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) such as: CIDR (Class-less Inter Domain Routing), NAT (Network Address Translation) and Private Addressing. These methods have squeezed more life of IPv4 and are making the segue to IPv6 possible. IT administrators have to learn a new bag of tricks. IPv6 cannot be deployed the same as IPv4. We are, collectively, in the midst of a learning curve for how to trouble-shoot, configure and security monitor IPv6. Security and Reputation IPv6 is but a baby. Nobody knows what the exact security issues will be. It's going to be tricky for awhile. IPv6 has, baked into it, several nice security features, like end-to-end encryption. Which is great...but useless while we're still in the transition. IPv4, by contrast, has to be specially tricked out to be secure. SPAM Fighting in the Age of IPv6 could get interesting. One thing most email experts agree on is that domain reputation will be the new "email credit rating" method. Exponential expansion of available IP addresses made possible by IPv6 means spammers will have an endless supply of fresh IPs. Therefore, IP reputation may become pointless. Deliverability Issues It is hard to pin-point specific delivery issues on IPv6. Though latency, caused by service providers using dual stack IPv4/ IPv6 servers, could be a problem when it comes to managing IP throttle rates. Generally it's the case that IPv4 machines are retrofitted to communicate with IPv6 infrastructures. Some IT specialists prefer to stick to IPv4 just for mail servers, at least for now. Pricing and Availability There's an interesting problem/opportunity that will arise as more individuals and institutions switch over to IPv6 and release their IPv4 blocks. It could be that all the email administrators snatch up all the IPv4 blocks to use only for mail severs thereby spiking the asking price for IPv4. That could in turn help spur the use of IPv6 which in turn may cause the price of IPv4 blocks to then drop. Or maybe not. It's Going to Take Time In 2016 IPv6 reached 10% deployment. That's almost 20 years since its release. Slowly but surely we're working our way to full saturation. Buckle in and take a nap. It's going to be a while.

24 Jan 2017 How to Send a Million or More Emails a Day Category Blog Current News Internet Education Media Techtelligence Written by Guest Author Need to send an absolute ton of email? Great news! You. Can. Do. It . Conventional email providers, like Gmail, and standard ESPs, like Mailchimp, are not built for cost-effective high-volume mailing. You've probably already figured this out: If you have a big list, they're just not that into you. Standard, hosted ESPs either severely throttle your send or exploit it. That is to say, they can and will facilitate a mighty large-scale deployment but....oops! They also want your first born (i.e. a ton o' cash). Read More

I love the copper fabric I used here, against the light print and darker autumn themed fabric. Unfortunately, I got the last 2 fat quarters of the copper fabric at our local quilt shop, so I had to supplement with a batik fabric for future bowls. I'm sure it will be fine, but I get so attached to certain fabrics! I ran out of the light print, and went to our local Jo-Ann's about 20 miles away... lucky for me it's one of their exclusive patterns, and they had it in stock... safe for another day! Now I need to head back to our local Home Depot to get some more clothesline... always something!
On another note, I got this shot the other evening from the front of our house:
I just happened to glance out the window at the right time, grabbed the camera and headed out the door. We actually had a dusting of snow on the upper peaks after a sudden storm and drop in temps... gonna be an early winter this year, I'm thinking!

PBandJ - Updated Healthier Version
We love peanut butter and jelly sandwiches at our house. I have done my best trying to make them a little healthier by using fresh all natural peanut butter, reduced sugar jelly and whole wheat bread. The biggest problem in this sandwich was the jelly. Even with "reduced sugar" it still wasn't great.
I found this idea in my new favorite book, The Eat-Clean Diet for Family and Kids by Tosca Reno. This is a terrific book if you are looking to improve the diet of your family.
Instead of plain peanut butter, I decided to make some of the healthy peanut butter dip (minus the chocolate chips) I made a couple weeks ago and use that on the sandwich. It was perfect! AND instead of the "reduced sugar" jelly I just used some sliced strawberries....no sugar at ALL! I thought it turned out very yummy and so did my son. It made a quick lunch after his baseball game today.
I am sharing this post at Souper Sundays at Kahakai Kitchen, Make it From Scratch and Tasty Tuesday at City Wife, Country Life so come check out all of the wonderful soup, salad and sandwich recipes that others are sharing.

This Cell Signaling Technology antibody is conjugated to Alexa Fluor® 594 fluorescent dye and tested in-house for direct immunofluorescent analysis in mouse cells. The antibody is expected to exhibit the same species cross-reactivity as the unconjugated β-Tubulin (9F3) Rabbit mAb #2128.
The cytoskeleton consists of three types of cytosolic fibers: microtubules, microfilaments (actin filaments), and intermediate filaments. Globular tubulin subunits comprise the microtubule building block, with α/β-tubulin heterodimers forming the tubulin subunit common to all eukaryotic cells. γ-tubulin is required to nucleate polymerization of tubulin subunits to form microtubule polymers. Many cell movements are mediated by microtubule action, including the beating of cilia and flagella, cytoplasmic transport of membrane vesicles, chromosome alignment during meiosis/mitosis, and nerve-cell axon migration. These movements result from competitive microtubule polymerization and depolymerization or through the actions of microtubule motor proteins (1).

Using a Mat Splitter to Demat a Beard
15 comments:
I've given myself some nasty cuts with the mat splitter, too, found two in the bottom of my boss's inherited toolkit. Neither of us really knew how to use it, either, but I googled and posted and soon learned that it was a powerful tool if used carefully. But yeah, now if I could only find some blades!
ReplyDeleteHi Anonymous,
HVed means to used a forced air dryer to dry a dogs hair. No, it does not hurt. It is loud, and some dogs do not like the sound of it (kind of like a vacuum cleaner sound),but they get used to it once they realize it does not hurt. The force of the air dries and straightens the coat. It also helps to loosen some mats away from the skin. My Collie loved the HV dryer. Hope this helped.
Lisa, MFFhi lisa, i was wondering if you could help me, i just adopted a little cavalier king charles from an elderly lady who lives down my street as she was too unwell to look after him anymore, he is the sweetest most loving dog but his ears are literally matted into two lumps, they are impossible to brush out with any of the grooming products i have so i just wondered if you knew what i should do, im taking him to the vet tomorrow to get him checked out so i will ask them for advice but his ears are in an awful state, i have only had very short haired dogs so i have never seen this problem before, i would be grateful for any advice you could give me, thankyou:)
ReplyDeleteRepliesHi Michelle-rose, (beautiful name)
Unfortunately your Vet will probably have to shave all of the hair off of the ears, but don't worry it will grow back! It will take some time , but the hair will grow, and in the mean time you can lightly brush the ears to get him used to being brushed. Once they grow back, if you give them a quick brush out everyday you should be able to keep ahead of the matting.
Sadly, sometimes the matting gets to the point of no return and all you can do is start over.
If your Vet does not shave them then find a groomer who will do it for you. The groomer would probably do a nicer job because that is what we do. A groomer may, or may not be able to save some of the hair. :) Good luck with your new guy, they are great dogs.
Lisa, MFF

Is there any way to calm your dog into letting you brush their beard? My schnauzer has had a bad experience at the groomers and will NOT let me get close to her beard. It's getting matted! Help!
Unfortunately, Schnauzers are notorious for not liking to be brushed....at all!
It is important for a groomer to help a Schnauzer learn that brushing is okay.
You can try to teach him, but it will take time and a lot of patience on your part, and he may never learn to like it, only tolerate it.
Does he like being brushed at all? If he does, start by brushing him where he doesn't mind. Brush everyday. I know that sounds like a lot, but if it becomes his daily routine, he will accept it faster.
The first time don't even use the brush on his beard. Just use your fingers to rub and very gently separate the hairs. Only do this for a few minutes, but don't stop till he stops pulling away. Talk to him softly, telling him that he is alright and good. (It is very important that you do not get upset and frustrated with him) Then stop and give him a treat, BUT not just any treat. Something really special that he never gets. A small piece of lunch meat, or small piece of hotdog, or boiled chicken. He ONLY gets this treat AFTER a grooming session.
The next day try the brush, but only brush very, very gently (like hardly touching the hair) Your goal is to try to show him that the brush does not hurt. Even if he only lets you do one or two brush strokes, that is okay. Stop and praise him and give him that special treat. Remember this will take time and patience. Each day try to do a little more. It may take you a week or two before he will let you truly brush out his beard. He needs to learn to trust the brush.
I hope that this helps. :)

Hello, I have a mini schnauzer, he's still a puppy and I didn't brush him every day only 3x a week but once I began going to work I didn't have the time to brush him like I used to. I worked for a month and now that I'm no longer working I'm dealing with undercoat mats, on legs and tummy. Also, (if this helps) in the mornings when i take him out to potty he likes to run out in the morning dew, so when he comes inside he's a bit wet. I dont dry him, maybe thats my mistake there. How can I remove them without having to clip his hair. Thank you,
-maggieRepliesHi Maggie,
I hate to say this, but you may not like my answer.
Schnauzers tend to have different hair. Some have a courser type coat, and others have a very soft, cotton coat. Sometimes mats are very easy to comb out of a Schnauzers coat, sometimes it is just impossible. It depends on how tight the mats are and how your dog tolerates being brushed and combed. In my experience most Schnauzers HATE being brushed.
Unfortunately, whenever your dogs hair gets wet (like going out in the morning dew) the mats tighten up even more as the hair dries and becomes worse. The most humane thing for your dog may be to bite the bullet and have all of the mats clipped off and start all over again. The tighter the mats the shorter the groomer has to shave your dog. A Schnauzer should be professionally groomed at least every 8 to 10 weeks. If you like to keep your dog really long he should be groomed even more often.
I hope this helps.
Lisa, MFF

The Old Colony Mennonite community at Matheson, Ontario began in 1957 when about a dozen Old Colony Mennonite families from Mexico settled in the area. The purchased pasture land and worked locally. Although no formal church was established, worship services were led by a Reinland Mennonite Church minister from Manitoba. Over the years families moved away to join communities near Aylmer, Ontario, Rainy River, Ontario or to Manitoba. Within a few years the settlement ended.

It's June, wait...what?
I'm having a hard time getting my head around the fact that it's June. May was a blur. Long hours at work and a husband working out of town made for a month of just getting through the day, and then just making it to the weekend. The weather has been glorious, although I've had little time to spend outside and enjoy it. I'm grateful for the warmth and sunshine...something we waited a long time for this year. And I'm happy to see so many shades of green colouring our world again.
Mother's Day was quiet.
And as busy as we are, I'm still feeling a little lost. For the first time in 20 years no one is playing any outdoor summer sports. No soccer, no baseball, no football. I should be jumping for joy that I'm not running like an idiot from one field to the next, trying to keep up with their conflicting schedules... but the truth of the matter is that I miss it. A lot.
But there's always summer hockey. Nothing like sitting in an ice cold rink wearing shorts and sandals.
Last but not least, I have a slew of recipes to share. I've finally managed to pull off a really good homemade, nut-free granola bar for the kids lunches. I've been struggling to keep their lunches interesting as we near the end of the school year, and the healthified baked goods I've been trying haven't all been well received, but these granola bars were a great success. I've also been using my crock pot a lot lately and have a few slow cooker gems to share. And there was sticky toffee pudding, with caramel sauce from scratch...
...which was totally worth the half hour I spent stirring.
Stay tuned.
mother's day,
photo a day,
wordless wednesday

I've been asked by a friend to help her make a music video using scenes of her kids. She's given me about a dozen video file which she wants me to cut up into individual useful segments. I tried using iMovie and I got the clips set up, but can't see a way to save them as their own files easily. Using share takes forever to have to rename them and all. Is there any program that I should use or any hints on how to do this? I need to finish it quickly, and I don't really want to invest any money into it. Any free or shareware app that would be useful for just splitting one clip into multiple? Thanks.
QT Pro is much cheaper than time splitter and does the same thing. It will also let you use full screen mode with any QT movie.

hi allie, the cake was not macro or vegan. i wasnt planning on having dessert, but it was a loving gift from my friends and didnt feel it would be right to refuse a gift given with love. the restaurant has a wonderful baker there and they ordered it for me as a surprise.
hi leslie –
what did they make the cake out of?
was it macro?

I just re jailbroke my iphone 4s with 5.1.1 and want to do the same with my ipad. How do i save all the files in my IFILE? thanks
The easiest way I've discovered is to do a two-fold backup: I use iTunes to backup the App Store apps and all their data, then I use the Cydia app PKGBackup to save all the jail break stuff. Then, it's a simple matter of restoring the iOS, re-jailbreaking and then using the two backups to put the iPad back the way it was. Have a look at this link for further details on PKGBackup: http://www.ipadforums.net/showthread.php?t=60220 Again, this is how I do it and, so far (knock on wood), it's worked great and all my apps and data are as before. Good luck and hope this helps. Marilyn

The police came and took Dad away in the early hours of the morning. They banged on the door, woke Dad up, pulled his arms behind his back, handcuffed him and stuck him in the back of their van. Next morning Mum said: "Dad's gone away for a while," and burst out crying. Then I cried too.
I kept thinking: "Where has he gone? Was it me that caused him to leave or was it Mum?" At first I thought Mum might have had an argument with him. Dad went to prison for three months when I was seven and I thought then that he'd gone away because he hated me or I'd done something to make him run away from us.
Dad had six months on remand before his trial and he's been in prison for about a month now. He was accused of raping a lady. If I think about it too much I feel upset and angry. Mum and I know he didn't do it. He's just not that sort of person.
It was hard for us that first week. Every time Mum talked about it she burst into tears. Once she was on the phone to my Nan and I could hear her crying so I had to take the phone away and tell my Nan that everything was OK then calm Mum down. AfterwardsI went up to my room, turned my music on really loud and started crying myself.
Quite a few of my mates at school know where my Dad is. Mum didn't want anyone to know at first so I used to make things up. Sometimes I used to tell people he was working up north for a really famous company. But when we moved I told my new friends the truth. They didn't say much but they had surprised expressions on their faces, as if to say, "If you're Dad's there, how do we know you're not going to drag us into this kind of stuff?"
I've got into a few fights about it at school. Someone said: "You're just like your Dad." Another boy called me a jailbird so I punched him in the face. My year co-ordinator at school knows my Dad's in prison. I had to tell him because I've been worryinga lot about my Mum lately and I needed someone to talk to. I feel very protective towards my Mum. If anyone ever tried to hurt her, I'd chase them with anything I could find.
It's hard visiting Dad at this prison because they lip-read so you have to be careful what you say. They are so strict I feel uncomfortable there. We sit with loads of other inmates and visitors in the visiting room and we're not allowed to touch him at all until we're just about to leave. He kisses Mum but him and I just shake hands. I don't say much apart from "Hello" and "How are you?" Sometimes I'm shy around people I don't see very often.
Although I look forward to seeing Dad, all the waiting around can be a real pain. You go up all these stairs, wait for ages in the visitors' centre, wait for ages to get through the metal detector, then there's another long wait while they call him. On the way out you have to go through it all over again.
We used to do all sort of things as a family like going to theme parks but now Dad is away we don't do that any more. I miss it all a lot. He used to play football with me and some nights we'd stay up late playing computer games.
I've grown up a lot since Dad went to prison. Looking after my Mum has made me more responsible. She's got a lot to do what with looking after my little brother, so I try to help her as much as possible. I tidy up, go down the shops and make lots of drinks. I'm the best coffee maker in the world now.''do it, he's not that kind of person The friends I had just disappeared Jo is 17 and lives in a hostel for teenage girls. Her mother is serving a five-year sentence for a drugs offence in HMP Cookham Wood.
My Dad's in prison as well as my Mum, so I was brought up by my grandmother in Jamaica. Mum and I had never really spent much time together and we were just starting to get to know each other when she went into prison last Christmas. We don't really talkabout her offence; she hasn't told me much about it. I felt terrified when she went away. For two months I was so lonely I wanted to kill myself.
Before I moved into the hostel there were days on end where I would have no money and nothing to eat. A social worker found me wandering around and got me a bed in here. There are seven other girls, but most of the time I feel alone.
It's over a month since I saw my mother. I can't afford the train fare to visit her and as I don't know my way around London, it's scary to think of having to get on a train and go into the country. Mum phones me whenever she has a phonecard, but we don'
t talk for very long.
Other people don't want to know you when your mother is in jail. The friends that I had before have just disappeared. It's not that people don't want to help: they feel embarrassed and have no idea what to do or say. Finding Cast [a support organisation for prisoners and their children] was a lifeline. I go to the centre every day to study English and computing and they give you a free hot lunch. The women who run it are really nice and friendly and they'll listen for hours if you need to talk. It's good to feel that someone cares about me. I know Mum worries about me a lot but there's nothing she can do from where she is now. I think about her every night. She's a wonderful cook and I dream about her making a lovely meal for me.''
All names have been changed I miss having her there to kiss me goodnight Meg is 15 and lives with her father and younger sister. Her mother is serving a 15-month sentence for fraud and deception in HMP New Hall.
Dad's had to learn to do things around the house because Mum always did everything for us. We've all had to pull together really. Dad had to work out how to use the washing machine and he does all the ironing. My sister and I help him with the shopping. His cooking's OK but not as good as Mum's - he does lots of chops and pies.
Mum's in prison because she stole some money from where she used to work when we were really struggling. I don't feel angry at her for taking the money because I think she only did it because she wanted us to have nice things. But I feel angry that she couldn't tell us what was going on at the time. We only found out the night before she was due to go to court. She came into our bedroom and told my sister and I that she loved us very much but that she might have to go to prison. I couldn't sleep that night because I felt really frightened.
Mum never came home from court. My sister and I had the day off school and Dad took us to see Mum that night because we had to take some clothes in. She's allowed five skirts or trousers, some leggings, tops and underwear. I kept telling Mum how much I'dmiss her and she hugged us and promised she'd keep out of trouble in prison so as not to add more time to her sentence.
I didn't cope very well at first. One of my friends was telling me how much she hated her mum because they'd had a row. The more I listened the more I kept thinking: "At least your mum's at home." Then I broke down. Night-times were difficult, too. Mum always came into my bedroom to give me a kiss and a cuddle and I miss that more than anything. Dad does it now but it's not the same.
There was no one I could really talk to properly. At first I was scared to tell my friends in case they didn't like me any more. I didn't want them to think badly of my Mum either, so I said she'd gone away to look after my Nan. But it got too complicated to keep lying. Most of my friends know now and they took it better than I thought they would. All my teachers know too because the education department told my headmaster. They understand that sometimes I have to go and see my Mum during school days and they let me do the work I have missed in my own time.
No one at school has ever said anything really nasty but sometimes things slip out. It sounds silly but when people say how nice our Mum is, it upsets us all the more. My sister bottles it all up. Sometimes we'll talk about how we're feeling and althoughwe don't always get on, we try to help each other.
Every time we visit Mum she looks much better. She's been on a diet and you can tell how much weight she's lost. Sometimes I have so much to say that I forget something important or I can't get all the things I want to say in during the time we're allowed. We take food in to cheer her up. In summer we bought salads; now we take soup and cornish pasties so that Mum gets a nice hot meal.
When Mum comes home my sister and I are going to help her redecorate the house and Mum's promised to help me revise for my exams. She's always helped me with my homework. There was a time when I used to just copy down what Mum had written, but now I've realised I can do it by myself and still get good grades. I'm trying extra hard at school now because I want Mum to be proud of me when she comes home.
Dad's changed too since all this happened. Before he never used to talk to us very much, he just shouted. Now he's learned to get on with us, and Mum and him are much happier. We used to go shopping and he'd walk way ahead of the rest of us. Now Mum and him hold hands at visiting time. I think he appreciates her much more.''
