What's New Wednesday: May 29th
Here's what Amber has her eye on this week:
Clarins Lotus Face Treatment Oil
"I've officially succumbed to the oils trend and my skin couldn't be happier, softer, and nourished. I have oily to combination skin and this rosewood, geranium, and lotus-infused formula is intended for the between folks like myself. A small drop means big moisture and no shiny residue."
"I'm a major Chloe fan but never really thought I would dare venture from the classic scent—silly me. A single spritz of this bouquet-and-vanilla musk and I realized how nice it was to fragrantly flaunt my edgier side. Still romantic and inherently feminine, this version of Chloe is just a little bit spicier and hey, sometimes I am, too!"
Clinique A Different Nail Enamel
"Sensitive ladies fear not—this non-irritating formula didn't skimp on color, shine, or chip-resistance in order to keep your eyes and skin protected. This classically hued line delivers gorgeous shades so glossy they look wet."
What new products have caught your attention this week? Show & Tell in the comments!
See what's new: http://seph.me/13cr5Ez
Oioi, I promised myself I'll stop playing with oil, but you had me at "Lotus". Just added Clarins Lotus oil to my list.
I am curious about Soap&Glory Sit Tight Body Firming serum. Stuff for stretch marks/scars/cellulites are usually hit or miss. So far I've had one hit (Kate Somerville D-scar serum) and one miss (Super by Perricone body toning serum).
@beautytester - so the brand manager who works with Soap & Glory just told me yesterday that Sit Tight is AMAZING and now I'm dying to try it. Did you catch Marcia (founder of Soap & Glory) talking about it in yesterday's live chat? I'm super intrigued.
@beautytester, let me know how the lotus oil is if you get it! Sounds fascinating, and I can only imagine its "fountain of youth" properties!
Have to say my item of the week would be Shiseido BB cream. Didn't expect much, but got a lot! It's moisturizing, and yet not too much so for oiliness, has a dewy, glowing finish, and no sparkles!
Haha, I'll probably add my thoughts about it to the facial oil post when I get it, but unless someone help me to come up with a standard for measuring various qualities, I don't think I can compare and tell the difference between oils any more. I have a bottle of Caudalie Divine oil waiting to be tested/used (impulse purchase =X).
For now, I'm planning to get the S&G firming serum with the next Disney princess items, which will probably come out in July/Aug if the stars are aligned and the signs are right. I just placed an order today cuz of the AmorePacific promo (but but but, they were brushes...) so I'm hoping to hold out on buying until the Disney princess.
I absolutely loving the new Josie Maran Coconut Watercolor Cheek Gelée that i picked up last week! The colors are gorgeous, and the formula is hydrating! Perfect for summer! Im loving the shades Pink Escape and Berry bliss! Definitely check it out!

This will be my dogs first season. She will be 1.5 yr old come season. Ive heard that I should put my dog up after shes made several retrieves, instead of hunting her all day and letting her get 20-30 birds all day(obviously best case scenario).
Although 20-30 birds during a 8 hour day doesnt seem like much, but i dont know. Thoughts??

AFL Rising Star: Jaeger O'Meara
04 September 2013 , 5:54 PM by nicole gundi
The Gold Coast Suns know how to pick winners!
Mid-fielder Jaeger O'Meara was picked up by the club when he was 17 years-old which is a year earlier than most.
"A bit different to a normal draft, guys normally don't get picked up until they're about 18 so I was lucky enough here...I'm grateful to the Suns for picking me up".
It's paid off for the Suns as O'Meara has been chosen as the best young player winning the AFL's Rising Star award.
O'Meara was in Melbourne for the announcement and Scott Lamond spoke to him shortly after.

Mals vs shortboards. Swimmers vs surfers. What's the answer?

Lacrosse news straight to your inbox.
Tuesday November 5th, 2013 1:43am
GAFFNEY, S.C. – Limestone College and head men's lacrosse coach J.B. Clarke have announced the hiring of Carroll Kennedy as an assistant coach, effective immediately.
A four-year college lacrosse player, Kennedy played two years for Adelphi University and two at Monroe Community College (Rochester, N.Y.) and brings two years of coaching experience to the Saints.
"Coach Kennedy brings with him a level of leadership and experience that really jumped off the page when we were looking at over 100 resumes for the position," said Clarke. "As a player, he was a captain at both Monroe Community College and Adelphi University and was as cerebral a player as any I have seen."
Most recently, Kennedy has served as an assistant coach at Adelphi, helping to lead the Panthers to a 14-3 record, No. 4 national ranking and a berth in the NCAA Division II National Semifinals. In the latter, they dropped a narrow 16-13 decision to eventual national champion Le Moyne.
During his time in Garden City, N.Y., he was directly responsible for handling the day-to-day office operations that included scheduling, budgeting and NCAA compliance at the team level. On the field, Kennedy assisted with practice and game planning, working with defense and goalie coordination and had a significant role in the recruitment and evaluation of players.
Prior to his time on the sidelines at Adelphi, he served as an assistant coach at Commack High School. While there he was responsible for the development of players on the defensive end, creating game plans and scouting and evaluating opponents.
Kennedy has also worked with the Long Island, N.Y.-based BreakOut Goaltending Group, serving as a Shooting Coordinator since March of 2010. He helped train goalies ranging in age from 6-21 through one-on-one instruction. Since June of 2011 he has also coached Long Island Pride Lacrosse, a team comprised of 5th and 6th graders.
As a player, Kennedy began his career at Monroe Community College from 2007-08. He earned All-Region Second-Team honors before continuing his career at Adelphi in 2009 and 2010. In his first year there he played in all 11 games with a pair of starts and collected 17 groundballs. As a senior he developed into one of the more reliable players for the Panthers, playing in 15 games with 13 starts.
That year he finished with 65 groundballs, including a career-high nine vs. St. Anslem, while scoring a goal and helping AU to a 10-5 record. The latter was something they had not accomplished in the previous eight years and helped to lead to the program's return to the NCAA Division II Tournament in two of the next three years. During his career, he was also named to the NE-10 Spring Academic All-Conference Team with that recognition coming as a senior in 2010.
"I am thankful for the opportunity given to me by Limestone Athletics, Mike Cerino and Coach Clarke," said Kennedy. "I'm looking forward to becoming a part of such a storied program and helping to continuing the rich tradition."
"As an assistant at Adelphi his learning curve was exceptional according to the coaching staff up there," added Clarke. My respect for the program at Adelphi, as one of the greatest lacrosse programs in all of lacrosse, makes me even more thrilled to have Coach Kennedy with us. He is a terrific person, coach and leader!"
Kennedy is a 2010 graduate of Adelphi University and holds a Bachelor's in Sports Management with a minor in Business. In May of 2013, he earned a Master of Arts in Physical Education from Adelphi.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Anonymous from Great pack. Could be better I Really like this as overnight/weekend pack. Needs a few well placed external pockets tho. As a hiker/packer, its Perfect for hammock and stove and related gear. For Summer will be my standard pack.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Excellet for holding snowshoes I purchased some snowshoes and in a last minute decision, decided to purchase a pack to hold them on a hike rather than clipping them (hanging) to an existing pack. Worked perfectly, as if it it was designed for it! There is plenty of room on the bag, and it is comfortable. It works very well for me and happy with the knee jerk purchase when I normally review everything I buy for a long time. More pockets would be helpful, but when you have snowshoes strapped to it, they wouldn't be much help to you at that point anyway. Not the only pack you'll need, but when the situation is right it will be the best pack to have. Plan on using this going forward on all my day hikes, and probably one-night overnights.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Works Great Marmot is one of my favorite outdoor brands. I use it for everyday use as well as hiking. I pack kids soccer gear and change of clothes in it. I usually do weekend hikes and it works perfect.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Anonymous from This backpack fit my grandson perfectly. My 11 year old grandson needed a good hiking backpack for a boy scout camping trip. Most of the hiking packs were too big for him but we needed one big enough for attaching his sleeping bag, mat, tent and camp chair. We were able to connect them all on the bottom and sides of this pack. It was a little difficult because of it being smaller due to his size but it worked out great for him. The young man that helped us in finding the right pack and size was very knowledgeable in this department and helped us a lot. He was very courteous and patient and very helpful.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Anonymous from Great bag for women I bought this bag and found it to work very we'll for women. I'm 5'4 and little and it fit in all the right places. I agree, I would have liked some outside pockets, but I fit three days worth of gear in it. I'm a pretty light packer. I've invested in the smaller and lighter weight gear and found it to be worth it. For the price and weight, it's worth it.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Anonymous from Good Mid volume bag I haven't cycled through dozens of bags in my hiking career, so I can't compare this one to others, but this bag is my go to overnight bag, day hiking bag and gear bag for multi-day car adventures. I own the aspen in all black. I also own other Marmont products and have always found them to be of high quality. The name brand price and over all construction first drew me to this bag.Some of the other posters have given this bag negative reviews based on not having this or that or that the size is small. It's only a 35L bag and meant for short trips and not for multi-week hiking. If you're a serious minimalist you could squeeze a week out of this bag. Yes, it would be nice to have a couple of external mesh pockets. The 35L is pretty much all one big cavity and a creative and experienced backpacker can squeeze a lot out of this bag. The small useless pockets on the lower sides I think are supposed to allow you to carry skis? I've only been able to tuck my tent poles into them and then secure them. I also wish you they were large enough to tuck the end of a sleeping mat while securing them down the side. Yes, there are no hip belt pockets like the website suggests.I do like the upper gear stash and found the compartments to be well laid out, useful and swallow gear. I like the one buckle cinch system for the top lid. The shoulder straps and waist belt hit me in the right places and I'm 6'2". One of the other posters mentioned how the bag cinches close to your body and I concur. It's low profile and you feel secure while on the trail.While the biggest hang up is that it doesn't have external pockets there are plenty of places to hook a carabineer. Personally I don't like a bunch of stuff jostling around outside my pack, but you can engineer some additional storage.

Need help, mental aspect of snowboarding
Hi Guys,
some background information to help you explain my situation.
5 years ago i was heavy into snowboarding. I was an intermediate rider, i rode a lot of park. Mind you i wasn't one of the best but i had a lot of fun jibbing, started of with 50-50's,backside boardslides and frontslide boardslides on boxes. Then i took to rails where i could manage to do 50-50's. Just your basic stuff, nothing fancy. Always had a blast with friends. All this at the age of 30.
Then adult life hit,bought a house, started my own business, kids..just the whole nine yards i guess. Been really busy for the past 5 years. Did not get to do a lot of snowboarding and the passion kind of fizzled out i guess.
So fast forward 5 years and this winter i went on a snowboard trip with friends. And during this trip i felt the urge that i had 5 years ago coming back again. I was getting stoked again to go snowboarding. I felt like a little kid again whenever i rode pow on this trip. We even did a park session, nothing fancy just a couple of ride on boxes and mellow jumps. I had so much fun, that i decided that i was gonna pick up park riding again.
And here lies my problem, i'm 35 years old now and wanna start riding park again after a 5 year hiatus. I struggle to find that comfort level of doing basic tricks like a 50-50 boardslide. My mind locks up when i approach a box and i can't even manage a simple boardslide. I just can't seem to get comfortable on boxes anymore. Are there any tips you guys could give me, specifically the older jibbers on the forum. Kinda curious to see if someone went to the same thing i did.
Getting more cautious with age is pretty normal, but it can get out of hand and paralyze you. I'm 56 and I have that in spades. My solution has been to figure out what I can do without locking up (but with a fair bit of fear), and keep doing it to desensitize myself to it. Then when it starts to get routine, push the limit a bit. Mentally you have to think of it as fun rather than as woosing out.
For your specific problem with boardslides, start with doing 50-50s then throw in a slight shiftie. Gradually increase the shiftie until you are boardsliding the second half of the box. etc.
I don't do park but
and wait till the kids start pushing you....then the fun begins
I was in your boat, even bought a board for jibbing and everything. First few boardslides and I knew I was done with it, pretty sure this is pain I'm not gonna deal with. I started the season riding with some park rats but they stopped going as much as I was and I just ended up freeriding all year.
I'll 5050 most features and I love to get air but....
The fact that I live in CO makes it so I don't have to ride park...If I lived in the east or midwest, I'd probably force myself to do it....

I'll be 33 in a month and didn't really start riding park until just a few years ago.
For jumps, I do mostly straight airs with a few grabs, 180s and occasional 360s. I started working on jumps again this year after a bad fall a few years ago I didn't really hit jumps for 2 seasons.
For jibs I can 50/50 pretty much most rail features unless they're multi-kinked, but sideways slides are trickier and I only really do those on boxes, and just started doing like front lips or back boards on low/fat rail features late this winter -- I'm at the point where I'd rather have fun doing a handful of relatively simple tricks, or taking those tricks to new/bigger features, than spend all day trying to learn something new on a beginner box :) but we all kind of determine how quickly we want/need to progress. Now that I am getting much better at these things, I might put more emphasis on progression moving forward but this year was more of a "take it in and have fun".
You can definitely still do it, but best bet is to ride with friends who share an interest in progressing your park game, that's the best way.
Personally, I don't like "ride on" boxes -- especially for sideways slides, because they're just too easy to pussyfoot it and not commit. A small ollie-on/gap-to box is much better, and even if you fall the first time or two, being forced to commit to the maneuver makes it easier in the long run.
Go fast, look at the end of the feature, and when in doubt grab tindy. Fear paralyzes you and holds you back sometimes you have to ask yourself is the reward greater than the risk. In my case it always is, for you who knows. So either sack up or start practicing them Euro carves and going fast on groomers cause that seems to be what all the old people do these days.
A lot of great advice here!! I too am in the same position. Last season I ended up with a concussion and whiplash a couple times on a flat down box. But by the end of the season I was attempting to backside board lower rails and doing them on boxes. For some reason I find back boards less scary on rails than 50/50's:dunno:
This year I found it really hard to hit jib features and feel I am not as good/brave this season in jibbing (not that I was any good before). I am training for next year already for my core and balance so lets hope I find my balls by then to put it to use.
FYI I am 36
Get yourself some body armor!!! Seriously. I had some bad falls when I first started doing jumps and rails, nothing broke just bad bruises that killed the rest of the day on the mountain so I was hesitant to continue. Got myself padded shorts and shirt and it helped so much with my confidence. The shirt I have has a hard spinal column so landing flat on my back on a box feels like nothing.

I'm a sucker for good, biting humor, and in the spirit of Stephen Colbert's Medals of Fear that he gave to a few distinguished souls (the press, Mark Zuckerberg, Anderson Cooper) at the rally in Washington D.C., I would like to hand a medal to the U.S. State Department for its 1999 publication of a country-by-country set of "Y2K" warnings — "End of Days" scenarios and solutions — for Americans doing business in 194 nations. I would give another medal to IPv6, the most drawn-out killer technology to date — and one that has had the longest run at trying to scare everyone about the end of IPv4. At Forrester, we are starting to see the adoption freighter slowly turning via the number of inquiries rolling in; governments accelerating their adoption with new mandates; vendors including IPv6 in their solutions; and the Number Resource Organization escalating its announcements about the depletion of IPv4 addresses (only 5% left!). To add to the drama, vendors are in the process of creating IPv4 address countdown clocks to generate buzz and differentiation. These scare tactics haven't worked because technology pundits haven't spoken about IPv6 in business terms. There is enormous business value in IPv6; those who embrace it will be the new leaders in their space.

Application Fees
Authored By: Texas RioGrande Legal Aid
- Read this in:
- Spanish / Español
When you apply to rent a residence, some landlords charge a nonrefundable application fee to pay for the costs or screening a rental application. They may also ask for an application deposit, which is refundable to you if you are rejected as a tenant. Typically, if you are accepted as a tenant, your application will provide that your application deposit is converted in all or part into your security deposit.
When you are provided with a rental application, the landlord must make available to you a written notice of the selection criteria that will be used to determine if your application will be accepted or denied. The notice must state that if you do not meet the selection criteria or provide incomplete information, your application may be rejected and your application fee will not be refunded. These selection criteria may include criminal history, previous rental history, current income, credit history, or failure to complete the information on the application.
If a landlord does not give you any notice of the acceptance of your application, your application is considered rejected after seven days from the date you submit a complete rental application. If the landlord does not give you a rental application, and the landlord does not give you notice of acceptance of your application, then your application is deemed rejected seven days after the landlord accepts your application deposit. If the landlord rejects your application but did not give you notice of the selection criteria, the landlord must return your application fee and any application deposit. The landlord must mail you a refund check at the address you provide.
If a landlord acts in bad faith by failing to refund your application fee or deposit, the landlord may be liable for $100, three times the amount wrongfully retained, plus your reasonable attorneys fee.

Hey guys. So my girlfriend wants to get into the 501st when I do with Fett. The problem we are having is that she can't decide on what to do. She's a newish Star Wars fan. She's 5'3". Skinny. She already said no slave leia lol. She likes the idea of Ahsoka Tahn or Aayla Secura but at the same time wants to do a dark side costume.
She has to be so difficult any suggestions? I talked to Daniel Logan about this a few months back and he told her to get in a stormie haha

Expression timing; a black art?
OK, to follow up on my own recent post, I did some timing tests for the
function I asked about earlier, as a function or as a Module[] with a
repeated square root pulled out. To say the results are puzzling (to
me, anyway) is putting it mildly.
Approach: Create a notebook with three sections, each of the form:
x; Remove["Global`*"];
fn := (function as below)
a=0.12; xmax=3.5; dx=0.1;
tn=Timing[Table[{x, fn[a,x]//N}, {x,0,xmax,dx}]];
where the three functions "fn" are:
f1[a_,x_] := Sum[Exp[-(Pi a n)^2-
((x-n Sqrt[1-(Pi a^2)^2])/a)^2],
f2[a_,x_] := Module[{b},
b=Sqrt[1-(Pi a^2)^2];
Sum[Exp[-(Pi a n)^2-((x-n b)/a)^2],
f3[a_,x_] := Module[{b,c1,c2},
b=Sqrt[1-(Pi a^2)^2];
c1=(Pi a)^2;
Sum[Exp[-c1 n^2-c2(x-n b)^2],
Summary of results to date:
1) Open Mathematica, run notebook first time with functions in f1, f2,
f3 order. Timings are (in round numbers, +/-10%) t1 = 30 sec, t2 = 5
sec, t3 = 20 sec.
2) Re-run same notebook from top: Timings are now 5 sec, 5 sec, 5 sec.
Clearly Mathematica is remembering *something* from the first run, despite the
Remove[Global] in each section . . . ?
3) Quit Mathematica, re-Open, reorder sections in f2, f1, f3 order. Timings on
first run are now t2 = 30 sec, t1 = 5 sec, t3 = 20 sec; timings on
second run are again 5, 5, 5 sec.
4) Quit Mathematica, re-Open, reorder sections in f3, f2, f1 order. Timings on
first run are 30, 20, 5 sec.
Conclusion #1: Running *either* f1 or f2 once leaves something (?) in
the kernel that greatly speeds up the f2 or f1, and gives a little help
to f3. Running f3 first gives a little help to f2 (30 down to 20), and
probably also to f1 (didn't try), but doesn't push it all the way down
to 5.
Conclusion #2: Using modular form with Sqrt[] pulled out doesn't help
at all.
Conclusion #3: If a naive user like me had only done the very first
test above, I'd have been left believing that pulling the Sqrt[] out
*did* help.
Conclusion #4: Trying to understand Mathematica timing is a very black art.
Hypothesis: Running any of these functions on a *random* set of values
the first time, then another random set the second time, will *not*
speed up the second run for either the same fn or any of the other ones.
Anyone want to predict if this is so?

Homemade Low Fat Chocolate Mocha

Looks delicious! I love Ghiradelli chocolates. Question: have you completed the live Fit trainer program? Looking forward to seeing your final results! :)ReplyDelete
- AnonymousDecember 12, 2012 at 6:22 AM
Is this healthy? There is more and more evidence that sugar is toxic and the Ghiradelli brand uses preservatives and trans fats. Your suggestion to use both fat free milk and fat free whipped cream only intensifies the sugar's effect (with no fat to slow its absorption). Low calorie does NOT equal healthy. I enjoy your blog, but would love to see you begin to reduce your suggestion if using processed foods as a means to obtain "health."ReplyDeleteReplies
It's only lowfat. I consider skim milk healthy. The chocolate powder and whip not so much, but I belive in moderation. How do you suggest making a hot cocoa? I welcome another version.Delete
- AnonymousDecember 12, 2012 at 9:41 AM
You may want to try using Navitas Naturals raw cacao powder. I agree with the use of moderation when it comes to sweets, but when not when it comes to the additives contained in most of Ghiradelli's products. Here's a great copycat recipe from another blog I follow: http://foodbabe.com/2012/07/18/organic-homemade-starbucks-frappuccino/Delete
Thank you!Delete
I make mine with water instead of milk. Still tastes pretty good!! Plus I never have milk so it is kind of a necessity. hahaReplyDelete
Should try this one this holiday season.ReplyDelete
Mmmmm! Peppermint mochas are my absolute favorite! When I get them at Starbucks I usually try to get a skinny though for less calories.ReplyDelete
This is actually really good!! I just made one now and am enjoying it while I type!! Yum!! Thanks for the recipe!! =]ReplyDelete
Thank you for taking the time to leave a message- I read every one! I try to respond to comments and answer questions here in the comments section, so please check back if you leave a question. Thanks for visiting!

All chocolate is made from the fruit of the cacao tree, which thrives in the tropical regions twenty degrees north and south of the equator. Scientists believe that the first cacao tree was found in the lower Amazon Basin in Venezuela. Twice a year the hard, squash like pods are hand harvested and carefully split open to remove the beans (which are then allowed to naturally ferment and air-dry for several days).
Dried beans are sold to brokers, who in turn supply the chocolate manufacturers of the world. Most cacao beans are shipped to Europe and North America to be made into chocolate in a complex process that begins with cleaning and roasting and ends with molding liquid chocolate into bars.

The DubNutz OEM & Performance parts in Long Island. Autotech, Quaife, ST, KW, Koni, Tein, JE, ClutchMasters, StopTech, Samco, Whiteline, TT, VF-E, Euro body accessories, TDN performance Mounts and lots more. Lowest Prices on ST Coilovers! ask
my ebay id:
1 board on there now
4 or 5 more hitting ebay at 5pm on 5 day auctions 1 penny no reserve
another 10 or 15 boards will hit ebay with the same pricing over the next couple days or so
everything must go, at cost, below cost, (above cost? ) whatever - they just gotta get outta my closet lol
FYI: made in the same factory as the worlds biggest brand in terms of sales volume
retail for cap construction boards $360, retail for sidewall boards $460, all are brand new in packaging & come with a few free t-shirts from the brand as a bonus - regardless of how little you pay. (i'm just awesome like that - and i really do need the closet space!)
back story: i WAS selling dozens & dozens of these for the brand, things went sour like a dirty hooker with the business relationship i had, so i walked away from it. at this point i simply don't care what the boards sell for, so some people on ebay have gotten some STELLAR deals over the past few weeks from me - below cost brand new boards, even including shipping lol - but they're worth zero dollars to me sitting in my closet, soooo, they gotta go! as for the selling below cost thing, since my business relationship with the brand has been dissolved, i really don't care if selling cheap devalues the retail price of their boards this season. couldn't care less! plus it makes for one hell of a deal for you fine folks.
most of the rest of the boards i'll be listing are suited for smaller guys, chicks & big kids, as there are plenty in and around the 150-155cm range. but i also have a handful in the 160 range too. if there's anything you'd like to pick up for yourself, a friend or family member, just shoot me a message and i'll see if i have anything suitable to meet your needs. oh, especially if anyone wants a sky blue 150cm sidewall construction board - i have a couple of them and they look fantastic!

Hey guys,
I got a 2001 Burton Motion 151 that is collecting dust in my basement.
This board has typical wear, as it did last me 2-3 seasons in high school.
It has seen a few rails and boxes and will probably need a nice wax.
I am just throwing this out there for anyone that needs a spare board or is looking to start boarding.
Best offer or trade for some small-medium bindings, or size 7.5-8 women's boots as I am trying piece together a set-up for my girlfriend. OR vintage/retro style Oakleys.
I'm not home so I don't have any pictures, but here is a link to get an idea of what it looks like:
Thanks in advance,

The West Central Lady Trojans have won their 2nd consecutive sectional title! The Trojans had very little trouble collecting their championship in the all Midwest Conference sectional at North White. In their first game, West Central outscored Pioneer 26-6 in the first half on their way to a 43-22 win, behind Marissa Hamilton's game-high 15 points. The Trojans came back in their second game to defeat Tri-County 54-39 and put themselves in the championship game. The duo of Hamilton and Justine Kruger combined for 37 of the team's 54 points. In the championship game, West Central's smothering defense was too much for Caston as the Trojans defeated the Lady Comets 43-18. Again, it was the combination of Hamilton and Kruger who lead the offensive charge, this time scoring 34 of the team's 43 points. This sectional championship is the fourth in the six year coaching career of Gina Hierlmeier, proving that tradition never graduates!
West Central (18-5) will be taking on Fort Wayne Canterbury (21-2) in the first round of the Caston Regional. Congratulations to the West Central Lady Trojans on their 2nd consecutive sectional championship!

ok so im having no luck at all on the job front here in the uk. being too qualified for the lower jobs and not qualified enough for the better jobs, so im falling down the cracks (applying for over 100 jobs per week). Anyhow whether or not i can find any employment, (on the Dole atm) i plan on saving up ( once im out of my 2 grand debt) to sit a CELTA Qualification, as ive always dreamed of working in Thailand or China. The Problem is i dont have a degree. i did two years of a social work degree but quit in my third year due to personal problems at home, and 1 year of a photography degree but financially couldnt cary on, and everyone is saying you MUST have a 4 year degree to find work.
i mean the qualifications i have are all over the place
Diploma Aromatherapy
Diploma Massage
Cert Massage
NVQ level 1 Painting and decorating
NVQ level 2 Gaming Operations (Casino)
NVQ level 2 Customer Service
NVQ level 2 Photography
OCB unit award Socialogical perspective
OCB Unit award Drugs Diseases pharmacology
Dodgeball Coaching badge
1 Alevel in english and of course my GCSES
im just in my 30's (31) and have volunteered in youth groups, as well as working in residential social work settings, and worked one-to-one with LD children and young people, but i have no degree like i said, would my qualifications account for anything at all or is it just a pipe dream. i really am new to all this thanks for any help (ps thats just a sample of the random qualifications i have)

http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2013/02/18/Washington-tries-to-allow-police-search-homesThe only mistake here was getting caught!!
The true question is if they showed up to inspect/take your neighbors guns would you support his actions to defend his rights. Would we as a people do so if there was blood shed. Or would we just hide our heads in the sand.
our government is scared of us. they don't want a populace that is armed well enough to enforce the second amendment. once they disarm us then the real fun will begin. by the time this country reaches that point i'll be too old to really fight back if i'm alive at all. but that time is coming. the voters under 30 have stars in their eyes and they have seen all the big changes in the mid east and think it would be cool to do something like that in the us. i want to say that i'm a libertarian at heart. i think the tea party is every bit as dangerous as the left wing nuts (in some areas more). if the electoral college is not disbanded and the two party system continues then we will have few civil liberties in 25 years. if you really want to stop this kind of stuff you need to vote third party in 2016. no republican is going to get into office next term no matter what happens under obama. he's got the ignorant majority convinced that everything wrong with this country is because of the republican party. hillary or biden will most likely be our next president. obama is a charismatic campaigner and that's all he is. he was the right guy in the right place at the right time and the democratic party is attempting to and will destroy the republican party as we know it over the next 8 years. when that happens if the libertarians haven't come up with someone stronger than ron paul (whom i wrote in) then you can kiss every freedom you have goodbye. this sequester is going to happen and obama will blame the republicans and after the mid term elections democrats will control all branches of the government and you will see all kinds of far reaching legislation fly through and then the idiots in this country that have no real life experience will put hillary in office and said legislation will go into effect and the middle class will suddenly no longer exist. you will have gas vouchers and food lines.

Following a lengthy search (a process beginning in ignorance and ending in confusion); I purchased a smartphone, the Android 4.0 Galaxy Nexus [1]. An expensive choice, but luck (and a family member's generosity) was with me. This phone was added as an extra line on a family plan which, in addition to available specials, significantly reduced the cost. Once the phone was in my sweaty little hands, the first step was to address security issues by locking the phone and installing antivirus. This article takes a look at phone lock. Click here [2] to read the article on antivirus.
As many functions–including phone lock–are found in Settings, a shortcut was added for easier access. To do this, open Apps and–with a long press on the Settings icon–drag it to the home screen.
To lock the phone, in Settings, scroll down and tap Security. In Security, tap Screen lock.
Lock choices are, according to the manual, "listed in the approximate order of the strength of their security, starting with None and Slide, which provide no security".
Slide was the default, but I chose Password (not available in all Android phones).
A password of at least 4 digits is required. It should be easy to use, but hard to decipher. A difficult balance.
Tap Automatically lock to set the amount of time before the phone locks.
The PIN option setup is very similar to Password.
For Face Unlock, your photographed image (unlike the caricature below) is used to unlock the phone. This option requires a backup method, in case an image is unavailable.
Pattern Unlock has been a feature in Android phones from the beginning. For that, a pattern is created by tracing a route through a series of dots. Repeating that pattern is then required to unlock the phone.
Note: If music is playing when the phone locks, it will continue to play and the Play and Pause controls will remain functional.

However, its role in the innate immune response is less well characterized. The goal of this research was to examine the role of IL-27 in the innate immune response. Two in vitro models of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium infection of the human monocytic cell line, THP-1, were developed. S. typhimurium is an intracellular pathogen that can facilitate its own uptake into host cells where it is able to replicate, often leading to host cell death. Based upon previous research on the role of IL-27 in innate immunity, it was hypothesized that IL-27 pre-treatment of THP-1 cells would result in an enhanced ability of THP-1 cells to fight S. typhimurium infection. Infecting THP-1 cells with late stationary phase S. typhimurium resulted in a low level of infection whereas infection of THP-1 cells with late exponential phase S. typhimurium led to a high level of THP-1 cell infection. Adherent THP-1 cells were stimulated with IL-27 for 16 hours prior to infection with either late stationary or late exponential phase S. typhimurium. A gentamicin protection assay was used to quantify internalized bacteria to assess if IL-27 pre-treatment affected the initial invasion and subsequent survival of S. typhimurium in THP-1 cells. THP-1 cells stimulated with IL-27 had the same level of internalized S. typhimurium as untreated THP-1 cells initially and over the subsequent 12 hours. THP-1 cell viability was monitored between 1-12 hours after the addition of S. typhimurium to determine if IL-27 pre-treatment influenced THP-1 cell death. Pre-treatment with IL-27 did not result in a difference in THP-1 cell death. TNFα and IL-6 secretion from S. typhimurium infected THP1 cells were assayed to determine if IL-27 pre-treatment resulted in an altered cytokine response. IL-27 stimulation resulted in significantly higher (p<0.01) levels of TNFα and IL-6 than untreated cells at 1-12 hours after the addition of S. typhimurium indicating IL-27 stimulation of THP-1 cells promotes a pro-inflammatory response. Overall, IL-27 pre-treatment of THP-1 cells did not alter S. typhimurium infection of THP-1 cells but did enhance the pro-inflammatory response by these cells indicating IL-27 has a role in the pro-inflammatory response by innate immune system to S. typhimurium infection. Further work is needed to explore the host-pathogen interaction that resulted in enhanced cytokine production in THP-1 cells and if this plays a significant role in immune cell survival over an extended time frame. Understanding the role of IL-27 in the innate immune response to pathogens will provide more information on how the immune system combats disease.

Although quiescent in wild-type P. aeruginosa, mexCD-oprJ is induced by membrane-damaging agents such as detergents and the biocide chlorhexidine (CHX), which perturb the cell envelope. Induction of mexCD-oprJ by membrane-damaging agents requires the envelope stress sigma factor AlgU, an indication that MexCD-OprJ is a component of the envelope stress response in P. aeruginosa. In the absence of CHX-mediated envelope stress, the expression of mexCD-oprJ is regulated solely by the NfxB repressor, which binds as a tetramer to the nfxB-mexC intergenic region to repress transcription of the mexCD-oprJ operon. Recently, a second repressor of mexCD-oprJ with homology to NfxB, EsrC, was discovered. In the absence of CHX-mediated envelope stress, the expression of esrC is negatively regulated by NfxB. In the presence of CHX-mediated envelope stress, the repressor activity of NfxB is alleviated and EsrC is produced, where it contributes to moderate repression of the mexCD-oprJ operon, which is expressed at moderate levels. Interestingly, EsrC requires NfxB in order to act as a repressor of the mexCD-oprJ operon. Consistent with previous research, this study demonstrated a physical interaction between NfxB and EsrC. In addition, this study showed that the C-terminal domains of NfxB and EsrC are required for the NfxB-EsrC interaction to occur. The demonstration of an interaction between NfxB and EsrC suggests that these two repressors co-regulate the expression of the mexCD-oprJ operon in the presence of envelope stress to either prevent the potentially detrimental effects of MexCD-OprJ overexpression, or to modulate mexCD-oprJ expression in response to multiple envelope stress signals which are recognized by the NfxB and EsrC components of the heteromultimeric repressor. Thesis (Master, Microbiology & Immunology) -- Queen's University, 2015-09-23 10:23:59.344 2015-09-26T00:00:00Z CHARACTERIZING THE ROLE OF THE HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS TYPE 2 UL21 PROTEIN IN VIRAL NUCLEAR EGRESS http://hdl.handle.net/1974/13406 CHARACTERIZING THE ROLE OF THE HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS TYPE 2 UL21 PROTEIN IN VIRAL NUCLEAR EGRESS Nassiri, Arash The herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) is an important human pathogen that is the main cause of genital herpes infections and has a significant and wide-ranging impact on human health. HSV-2 infections are one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases and are highly prevalent worldwide, thus making understanding their infection mechanisms all the more relevant. The UL21 gene, which is conserved amongst members of the Alphaherpesvirinae subfamily, encodes a tegument protein that is essential for HSV-2 propagation. More specifically, UL21 plays a critical role in the primary envelopment of capsids during nuclear egress, however the precise mechanism by which it does this is unclear. To investigate the role of UL21 in HSV-2 nuclear egress, we focused on events upstream of primary envelopment. First, we examined the role of UL21 in disrupting the localization of nuclear lamins during infection. Nuclear rim localization of lamins A, C, B1, and B2 was indistinguishable between the wild-type (WT), UL21 null (∆UL21), or repaired (∆UL21R) HSV-2 strains, suggesting UL21 is not implicated in the disassembly of nuclear lamins at the nuclear membrane. Additionally, UL21 did not influence the localization of the nuclear egress complex (NEC), composed of UL31 and UL34, insofar as cellular and virally-encoded UL31 and UL34 localization patterns were indistinguishable between the UL21 null, and repaired or wild-type strains. Lastly, in an attempt to characterize interacting partners for UL21, we focused on proteins implicated in nuclear egress or proteins that may function to recruit UL21 to the nuclear membrane, where it may carry out its essential role(s). While no interactions were detected between UL21 and key mediators of primary envelopment including UL31, UL34, or Us3, UL21 localization at the nuclear rim was enhanced by the overexpression of the inner nuclear membrane protein, LAP2β, suggesting a potential interaction between the two proteins. However, more experiments are warranted before any conclusive remarks can be made regarding such interaction. Taken together, these data have shed light on HSV-2 nuclear egress and have eliminated possible theories regarding the role of UL21 in HSV-2 primary envelopment.

The archaellum is the swimming organelle in the third domain of life, the Archaea. Genes involved in archaellation are mainly clustered in the fla operon. The structural proteins of archaella, termed archaellins, are usually glycoproteins modified with N-glycans. In M. maripaludis, a euryarchaeon, all three archaellins FlaB1, FlaB2 and FlaB3 are modified at multiple sites with an N-linked tetrasaccharide with the structure Sug-1,4-β-ManNAc3NAmA6Thr-1,4-β-GlcNAc3NAcA-1,3-β-GalNAc, where Sug is a unique sugar (5S)-2-acetamido-2,4-dideoxy-5-O-methyl-L-erythro-hexos-5-ulo-1,5-pyranose exclusively found in this species. Using FlaB2 as a reporter protein, I genetically identified three novel genes, aglU, aglV and aglW, which are involved in the synthesis of the archaellin N-glycan. AglU, a putative threonine transferase, is thought to be responsible for the transfer of the threonine onto the third sugar residue in the N-glycan. AlgV and AglW, annotated as a methyltransferase and a UDP-glucose 4-epimerase, respectively, are involved in the biosynthesis of the unique terminal sugar. Since it has been shown that disruption of the N-glycosylation pathway caused defects in archaella assembly or function, I explored the specific requirement of N-glycosylation of archaellins on archaellation by eliminating the four N-glycosylation sites in FlaB2 in all possible combinations. As many as three N-glycosylation sites could be removed from FlaB2 without interfering with archaella assembly or function. However, archaella could not be assembled when all four N-glycosylation sites in FlaB2 are eliminated. While there is evidence that archaella synthesis in M. maripaludis is not constitutive, no transcriptional regulators had been identified for the fla operon in any euryarchaeon. I genetically identified and characterized ArnE as the first euryarchaeotic transcriptional activator of the fla operon. Deletion of arnE resulted in the cessation of the transcription and translation of the reporter gene flaB2 and translation of FlaB2 was restored when the mutant was complemented with arnE in trans. Electrophoretic mobility shift assays confirmed the specific binding of purified ArnE to DNA fragments from the fla promoter.

I would have a complete scan done on the engine. 1995 Is OBD1 every shop doesn't have a scanner for pre-1995 computers. The reason I say this you could have codes stored and you think nothing is wrong. Here is just a sample of the codes your truck's computer reads. OBD-1 Diagnostic Trouble Codes. Check out this forum. They are talking about the same problems you have. Info: "Truck won't start" checking spark and fuel pressure - ChevyTalk --The Social Network for Chevy Fans
|You'll have to check the fuel pressure. My dad has a 98 GMC and one day it wouldn't start. I checked the fuel pressure and found it 3 psi below it's recommended fuel pressure so as you see, even if the pump is providing pressure, if the pressure isn't up to factory measure it won't start. Hard to believe 3 psi below would have a effect on it, but it does. We played around with it by replacing the filter and the pressure came up another 1 psi, which was enough to make the truck idle, but the second the throttle was pressed it would go dead. We replaced the fuel pump and it's ran fine since and that's been 4 plus years ago.

I have a 1995 gmc pick up sierra I replaced the fuel pump and fuel filter the truck will start and run for a few hours or days and then suddenly shut off and won't start again. sometimes it would kick in and start but now it won't start at all. Can anyone please help me I am desperate have been stuck on the highway had to have a tow truck pick me up, have gotten stuck 35 miles from home then it started about an hour later

Banff Area Riding
Hi guys - I'm new to the forum and to Calgary in general. Moved here from the snow mecca that isn't London, England a couple of months ago and have basically been counting the days to the first dump. Spent the last three weekends consecutively at Sunshine as that's where some friends have their season pass so I've been doing a little exploring, while teaching my other half how to ride from scratch. I hear that Goats Eye has opened this week so I'm looking forward to checking out some of the vert there but we're probably going to head to Louise on Friday.
Anyway, my brother and buddy are visiting for Christmas and new year. We've been riding for 12 years and spent a few seasons in the French Alps and one in whistler - so pretty advanced. I'd appreciate any advice on the best gladed runs, powder stashes and anything else that would make their trip out here memorable.
We've got a cabin in Canmore from 26th Dec for a week so if anyone has got any suggestions on good places for beers etc in the evening it would be nice - plus maybe any NYE destinations?
The weekend after we've booked a days cat riding at castle - very excited about that.
Lake Louise, Sunshine, Fernie, etc. are all filled with TONS of available off-piste riding. So I'm not going to tell you about some of my favorite spots! lol :D I will say that all of them have spots that can hold fresh powder for days after a storm, even during busy times. Just watch where the other people go and don't go that way. Usually spines seem to have more snow on top (maybe people are scared to get out to them?) and other areas that you have to traverse to. If you stick to the fall line things will be more heavily travelled.
The other thing is I LOVE finding my own secret stashes in places. It's an adventure just to find them! At Louise your best bet would be the top of the world chair or the platter, some of the back stuff is decent too but I find it actually more abused back there.
For riding advice, I'd say xmas day, boxing day, and possibly new years eve will be worth it. Otherwise it'll be a gong show. I was at Lake Louise last year on boxing day and it was great. We stayed in town that night and had to go to the base of the hill on the morning of the 27th (lost car keys) and the line just to get a ticket looked like it was hours long. Then the lift lines were retarded. I would avoid the big 3 like the plague from the 27th to the 30th.
Have fun!
there is a lot of good stuff off of goats eye. The southside chutes are good and there are lots of trees to riders right of the chutes. they are smaller up top and get bigger, snow stays good in there for a long time.
The shoulder (under neath the double chair) can have some good snow later in the season but it is pretty short.
If you have avy gear there is the dive and wild west.
Lake Louise
someonen else will give you better info usually i ride in the park there although i have found good snow on the back side. I have a seasons pass there this year so im sure i will find out where the good stuff is but don't really know yet.
Kicking Horse
EVERY WHERE, about 1:45 from canmore super steep and great snow, don't know how conditions will be that early in the year.
Probably around 4 hours from canmore unreal tree runs tons of snow. Same as KH i don't know how condidtions will be that early but i went last dec and had 1 foot the first night with another 6 inches the second night. Fresh pow the whole weekend. Great tree runs.
Cheers guys - appreciate the info. Because I'm new to the area, and the few guys I know here ski, I've been going off doing some exploring on my own but I'm a bit hesitant to do much solo off piste exploring without a transceiver etc. I just want to make the most of their time out here. Will defo look at the weather forecast for KH during that week and we're contemplating getting a guide to do the dive at SSV.
not sure if we'll be able to get to revvy during their trip this time but I'm definitely going to hit that around Feb.
I've read that the platter at LL is a bit of a pain - is it really worth it once you get up top??
The platter is a pain, but only you can judge if it's worth it. There's some very good boarding up there on both the front and back side of the platter. Because it's a pain it will be less tracked out. Just be prepared to rest for a minute at the top.
The platter is definitely worth it. Best runs i've ever ridden on that side of Lake Louise.
But, then again, I ride in Australia:dunno:
I'll definitely give it a go in December - don't think I could bring myself to take my missus up there before she's mastered toe turns.
I took her up the divide chair on Saturday, it was her second time ever riding and I thought she'd appreciate being taught the way I was taught.
I was wrong.
Take her to the top of kicking horse then. Throw her in the deep end👍.
Best way to learn
Please don't bring somebody on the platter who isn't high intermediate at the least.
People who are not good enough to ride the the top of the lake won't get up the platter! :)

To help gardeners understand which plants will grow well for them, the entire USA has been segmented into 'Plant Hardiness Zones'. Knowing your zone number is helpful when shopping for plants because:
Phlox bring mid-summer color for weeks and weeks, tall columns of fragrant flowers, and are some of the easiest perennials to grow. They establish quickly with full sun, and after a year or two, you'll be dividing up healthy perennial clumps. Just a few phlox will add major color to your whole garden; it never fails. Many varieties are deer resistant and some are even mildew resistant. Choose creeping phlox for a low-growing variety that spreads and creates a carpet of color, even over poor and rocky soils.

Lucas: Finding His Place
For Desmond Hubert, his strong performance at Florida State actually began in the minutes following Carolina's home loss to Miami.
In that game, Hubert had some struggles in 12 minutes, grabbing a pair of rebounds, blocking a shot, sinking a free throw, and going 0-for-1 from the field. Carolina lost, 68-59, and when the game was over, Hubert responded in an unusual fashion: he went to the weight room.
He wasn't frustrated because of the things fans might complain about--the lack of field goals, or really anything at all to do with offense.
"I felt like I let our team down defensively," Hubert said. "I wanted to lift right after the game with Jonas, and it was an intense lift. He told me to make sure I brought that intensity to everything that I do."
That's not second nature for Hubert, whose laid-back personality makes him an easy fit in the Carolina locker room, but sometimes too reticent on the court. He's started 11 games for the Tar Heels, including the last five in a row, a situation that sometimes confounds Carolina fans who might prefer a more potent offensive threat in that fifth starter's spot.
Quietly, however, Hubert has played an important role in UNC's two biggest wins in that five-game stretch. He contributed a solid 20 minutes against UNLV, when he had a tone-setting early block against the talented Anthony Bennett, plus three rebounds and three points. Then, at Florida State, he played just 12 minutes, but scored four points and grabbed a rebound. Both his baskets in Tallahassee came when he aggressively attacked the rim, dunking twice on one of the top-10 shot blockers in the ACC, Okaro White.
"His personality doesn't always allow us to see when he's about to get mad," says Dexter Strickland. "When he makes plays like he did at FSU, it gets him pumped up, and now that he has more confidence, those kinds of plays are happening more often for him."
Therein lies the key for Hubert's role on the 2013 Tar Heels. He's not supposed to score more than P.J. Hairston. No one expects him to develop a better shooting touch than Brice Johnson. He's not supposed to rebound more than James Michael McAdoo.
But as he's developed a better idea of what he is supposed to do, his contributions have become more consistent. He's had regular post-practice chats with Roy Williams and Steve Robinson to identify his strengths, and he's starting to demonstrate them more frequently.
"I've talked to Coach a lot, and that has helped me know what my job is on the court," Hubert says. "For me, it starts on defense, and everything grows from there."
His role starts on defense because at this point in the season, he's one of Carolina's best post defenders, and he adds an element to the Tar Heel defense that's not otherwise present. That will be important in tomorrow's noon tipoff against Maryland, a team that ranks second in the conference in field goal percentage and features center Alex Len, a player who gave the Tar Heels fits last year even when the lineup included Tyler Zeller and John Henson.
"I think a lot of fans don't see how much Desmond contributes to our team," Strickland says. "When he's in the game, if my guy beats me off the dribble, I know he's going to be back there to block it. He has stepped his game up a lot on defense. His improvement on offense will come, because he works hard. I don't think a lot of people on the outside see the hard work he puts in."
They can see the numbers, though. After shooting 5-for-11 in the first 11 games of the season, Hubert is 5-for-7 from the field over Carolina's last five games.. And while it's true that four of those five field goals are dunks, it's also true that he's getting dunk opportunities because he's attacking the rim more aggressively.
The paradox of Hubert's season is that he's flashed the most aggression against the teams--UNLV and FSu, most notably--that also feature that same gritty type of approach. Now the challenge is for him to consistently do it on his own initiative, without feeling challenged to match the intensity of the opponent.
Of course, aggression occasionally comes with a price. Hubert will play tomorrow's game against the Terps wearing a mouth guard, just as he did against Florida State. It's the product of a wayward Jackson Simmons elbow in practice that loosened a couple of Hubert's front teeth.
The dental work hasn't dimmed his ever-present smile, however. It's just that now, he's choosing to use that grin less frequently on the court.
"I look at Dexter and I see someone who I feel like always has that swagger on the court," Hubert says. "I want to get that, and I feel like beginning with the UNLV game, I'm starting to get there."
