Stayed at the pestana promenade in late april. Were very lucky as it coincided with a weather front from the sahara making it one of the hottest weeks in april. Have to say its probably one of the best 4 star hotels my wife and I have stayed in. The decor were very contemporary and overall spotlessly clean. Our room was on the ground floor which turned out to be very convenient. The gardens outside our room were lovely and ideal for setting up a sunbed with the pool only a few metres away. Although the gardens were communal because of the way the flower beds were sited they created an invisible barrier which meant that other guests didn't invade your space or walk past your patio. The staff were very efficient and helpful and overall would recommend (as I have done already) this hotel to anybody coming to madeira. My only criticism would be the area where the food is served. All the food is sited on this one gondola which meant that everybody was crowding around this one area whether you were wanting soup , salad, main meal or dessert. However, in saying that, the food was overall very good,

Adhesive polypeptides of
Bacterial adhesive proteins, called adhesins, are frequently the decisive factor in initiation of a bacterial infection. Characterization of such molecules is crucial for the understanding of bacterial pathogenesis, design of vaccines and development of antibacterial drugs. Because adhesins are frequently difficult to express, their characterization has often been hampered. Alternative expression methods developed for the analysis of adhesins, e.g. surface display techniques, suffer from various drawbacks and reports on high-level extracellular secretion of heterologous proteins in Gram-negative bacteria are scarce. These expression techniques are currently a field of active research. The purpose of the current study was to construct a convenient, new technique for identification of unknown bacterial adhesive polypeptides directly from the growth medium of the

Generation of the final FLAG-tag positive (Ftp) library in
The 80 000 colonies of the primary genomic library were screened by colony blotting using anti-FLAG antibodies for exclusion of transformants carrying an empty vector or insertions out-of-frame in relation to the FLAG tag. Totally 1663 clones were confirmed to carry gene products with C-terminal FLAG tags and these were included into the final Ftp library. Colony-blot analysis showed that MKS12 (pSRP18/0) with the empty vector reacted with monoclonal anti-FLAG antibodies as weakly as MKS12 carrying no plasmid (data not shown), thus confirming that the Ftp colonies did possess an insertion in their plasmids.
Sequence analysis of the Ftp library
The coverage of the Ftp library was determined by sequencing the inserted DNA fragments in both directions in all the 1663 Ftp library clones. The sequencing primers are shown in Figure

Adhesive properties of FLAG-tagged polypeptides in cell-free growth media of Ftp library clones
With the goal to detect known and novel staphylococcal proteinaceous adhesins but on the other hand also to test the applicability of the technique, we analyzed in an enzyme-linked immunoassay (ELISA) the binding of cell-free growth media of the 1663 Ftp library clones to a restricted selection of purified human proteins, which are well-known staphylococcal ligand molecules. These target proteins, i.e. fibrinogen (Fg), plasma fibronectin (Fn), type I and type IV collagens (CI and CIV) as well as the control protein fetuin (Fet), were immobilized in polystyrene microtitre wells and cell-free culture media of the library clones were allowed to bind. Of the totally 1663 clones tested, the polypeptides in the supernatants of eight clones bound to Fn (ΔPBP, ΔFnBPA, ΔPurK, ΔSCOR, ΔCoa, ΔUsp, ΔIspD, ΔEbh) and six to Fg (ΔPBP, ΔPurK, ΔSCOR, ΔCoa, ΔUsp, ΔIspD). The polypeptides in the supernatant of clone ΔUsp interacted with CIV similarly as with the control protein Fet. The binding properties are shown in the upper panel of Figure
According to our sequence and binding data, three of the Ftp clones expressed adhesive polypeptides previously characterized as adhesins of
The remaining five Ftp clones, which secreted adhesive polypeptides, encoded mainly Fn- or Fg-binding gene products. According to the sequence data, these Ftp-polypeptides were i) an N-terminal fragment of the substrate binding protein of an iron compound ABC transporter (in clone named ΔPBP), ii) an N-terminal fragment of the ATPase subunit of phosphoribosyl aminoimidazole carboxylase (in clone ΔPurK), iii) an N-terminal fragment of a putative short chain oxidoreductase (in clone ΔSCOR), iv) a putative universal stress protein (in clone ΔUsp), and v) the N-terminal half of 2-C-methyl-D-erythritol 4-phosphate cytidylyltransferase (in clone ΔIspD) of
Western blot analysis of the cell-free growth medium from Ftp clones
To determine the apparent molecular mass of the Ftp polypeptides expressed by the Ftp library clones and to confirm the presence of the C-terminally FLAG-tagged peptides in the growth medium, we analyzed whole cells and cell-free growth media of the clones by Western blotting using anti-FLAG antibodies. The results are presented in the lower panel of Figure

To confirm the results obtained with supernatants of the Ftp library clones, the DNA sequences identified as encoding the adhesive polypeptides (Table
In the ELISA assay, the His-ΔCoa and His-ΔEbh polypeptides interacted with the same immobilized target molecules (upper panel of Figure
In the SPR analysis, the His-ΔPurK, His-ΔCoa, and His-ΔUsp polypeptides bound to immobilized Fg whereas the His-ΔFnBPA, His-ΔPurK, and His-ΔEbh polypeptides showed affinity to Fn similarly as did the cell free growth media of corresponding Ftp library clones tested by ELISA (Figure

The most time-consuming part of the method presented here is the manual construction of the final Ftp library. Once the library has been generated, it can conveniently in a cost- and time-efficient manner be applied in the analysis of any protein-ligand interaction directly using cell-free supernatants in various binding assays.

Generation of the final Ftp peptide library
We screened the 80000 transformants of the primary genomic library by colony blotting using anti-FLAG antibodies and selected for the library only the Ftp clones. Briefly, a 0.45 μm nitrocellulose membrane (Whatman) was placed on top of bacterial colonies grown on Luria plates for 5 minutes. After removal, the membranes were washed once with PBS containing 0.05% Tween™ 20 (v/v), twice with PBS and blocked at 20°C for 1 h in 2% BSA/PBS (w/v), rinsed again in PBS and incubated with antibodies. Anti-FLAG® M2 mAb (Sigma-Aldrich) was diluted in 1% BSA/PBS to a concentration of 0.5 μg/ml and alkaline phosphatase-conjugated secondary antibodies (Dako) to a concentration of 1.5 μg/ml in the same buffer. Ftp clones were picked from the original plates, grown on fresh Luria plates and screened again using the same procedure. On the second round, strain MKS12 (pSRP18/0) was included as a background control and MKS12 expressing D repeats D1-D3 from FnBPA
Construction and purification of His-tagged
The gene fragments of the library clones, which encoded an Ftp gene product, were recloned into the pQE30 vector by PCR. Primers were designed on the basis of the sequence obtained from the plasmids of corresponding Ftp clones, which also were used as templates in the PCR. For cloning purposes, the forward primers carried a
Clarification and precipitation of growth media
The growth medium of library clones cultured in 300 μl LB in 96-well polypropylene plates was centrifuged twice for 15 minutes at 2000 × g and 100 μl of the final supernatant from each well was used for binding assays. For Western blot analysis 1 ml growth medium from a 3 ml bacterial culture was clarified by centrifugation and precipitated with TCA as described before
Binding assay and Western blotting
Purified human CI, CIV (Becton Dickinson Labware) and plasma Fn (US Biological) were immobilized onto 96-well polystyrene microtiter plates at a final coating concentration of 2 pmol per well in PBS, as described before
SPR assay
The interaction between purified His-polypeptides and Fn as well as Fg was analyzed by SPR technology using the Biacore T100 instrument, CM5 sensor chips and amine coupling chemistry according to the manufacturer's instructions (GE Healthcare). Single cycle kinetics was applied in the measurements
PCR screening and sequencing of the clones
Colony PCR was used to estimate the cloning efficiency, i.e. the% insert-carrying transformants of all transformants in the primary genomic library, from 200 randomly picked colonies and to estimate the average insert size of 200 randomly picked insert-containing clones. The colony PCR was performed using Dynazyme II DNA polymerase (Finnzymes), the PCR primers 017F (5' taccaacagcctctcgctg 3') and 028R (5' caattcaacttgtaggcctgata 3') purchased from Medprobe shown in Figure

Russia's intervention in Syria has made the pattern of alliances and enmities more complicated. Military powers in different configurations are backing the Assad regime and its local opponents. Let's take a look at where these major players are placed.
The country is a long-term supporter of the Assad regime and now appears willing to hit any faction, Islamist or secular, fighting its beleaguered army. Russia's initial claim that it was only striking ISIS positions was contradicted by reports that it is targeting other anti-regime groups too, including those under the banner of the Free Syrian Army, which have received training and equipment from the US.
Washington opposes the Syrian regime. But the country hasn't done a lot to bring it down, and has even signaled that Assad could stay in a transitional role. The US has provided moderate rebels ammunition and training to fight the ISIS. However this was paused after a series of embarrassing setbacks. The US leads an international coalition which is bombing ISIS targets in Syria and occasionally the Islamist group Jabhat al-Nusra.
Britain is bombing ISIS targets in Iraq from its strategic base in Cyprus. However Britain hasn't officially joined the US-led coalition. Prime minister, David Cameron, wants to do so, but Russia's intervention has complicated things.
Turkey strongly opposes Assad and has voiced concern over Russian incursions into its airspace. The country backs Islamist and moderate anti-regime fighters. Turkey has opened airbases to the anti-ISIS coalition and launched its own airstrikes.
Tehran, like Moscow, is an Assad ally. The country backs his regime militarily. Iran has provided the Syrian government with military equipment, advisers and Revolutionary Guards commanders to train and assist its armed forces.
Saudi Arabia
Like the US, Saudi Arabia insists that Assad must go, and backs Islamist and moderate Syrian opposition fighters. Saudi Arabia has carried out airstrikes as part of the US-led coalition, and has provided anti-tank missiles to rebels fighting the regime in the north.
The Gulf state's Al-Udeid airbase is a major operations hub for US forces. Doha has negotiated on behalf of the Islamist and moderate rebel fighters, and has even trained the rebels.
Opposes Assad and backs rebels fighting in the southern front near the Daraa and Suweida provinces. Jordan provides logistic support and training.

I'm switching over to a three column format for the website now so the site will look odd for a while. Hopefully all goes well and I will be able to include some more helpful links on the homepage when complete. I have a lot of sites, forums and vendors that I'd like to reference that I've been using throughout this process and need a three column layout to make it look nice and be easily navigable.
If you enjoyed reading this post I can promise you'll love our new writing over at Postgreen Homes. Yeah, we know that's the same thing your favorite band said and their new album is nowhere near as good as their early stuff, but seriously, we are actually still getting better.
There also isn't much conversation to be had here . . . at least not with us. So come on over to the Postgreen Homes Blog and tell us what you think of our new(ish) digs and crazy ideas. We will be sure to tell you what we think of your opinion.

Georgia Southern, UNC Charlotte, and UT Chattanooga are three schools that are showing Chaz Thornton the most interest. All three schools have offered Thornton.
Georgia Tech is another school that is showing interest in Thornton. "I have an unofficial offer from them." Georgia Tech Coach Mike Sewak wants Thornton to raise his SAT score. "Coach Sewak said that an offer would be forthcoming if I got it to a certain level."
Chaz has hired an SAT tutor and he has signed up to take the ACT test in September. "I really would like to get an offer from Georgia Tech."
Coach Sewak and Thornton keep in touch weekly. "We make sure we know where each side stands" Chaz also talks to Georgia Tech A Backs coach Lamar Owens. "He's a cool guy and I like him a lot. I could learn a lot from him."
An offer from Georgia Tech wouldn't necessarily lead to Chaz committing. "I love Georgia Tech a lot but I would be doing myself wrong if I made a quick commitment."
Thornton would like to make his decision before school starts but he knows that won't happen. "I will go into October to see what offers I have and then choose the one I feel is the best for me. It may be Georgia Tech as I really do love them a lot."
Once the collegiate season begins, Thornton will start attending some games. "I just don't know which games or which dates just yet." Thornton has plans to sit down and arrange a schedule that will fit best around his senior season schedule.
Thornton is looking forward to his senior season and he has set some goals for himself and the team. "My goals are to get 2,500 yards rushing and help my team win a state championship. It would be great to go out on a high note."

Dramas, Fields, and Metaphors: Symbolic Action in Human Society
Cornell University Press, 1975 - Social Science - 309 pages
In this book, Victor Turner is concerned with various kinds of social actions and how they relate to, and come to acquire meaning through, metaphors and paradigms in their actors' minds; how in certain circumstances new forms, new metaphors, new paradigms are generated. To describe and clarify these processes, he ranges widely in history and geography: from ancient society through the medieval period to modern revolutions, and over India, Africa, Europe, China, and Meso-America.Two chapters, which illustrate religious paradigms and political action, explore in detail the confrontation between Henry II and Thomas Becket and between Hidalgo, the Mexican liberator, and his former friends. Other essays deal with long-term religious processes, such as the Christian pilgrimage in Europe and the emergence of anti-caste movements in India. Finally, he directs his attention to other social phenomena such as transitional and marginal groups, hippies, and dissident religious sects, showing that in the very process of dying they give rise to new forms of social structure or revitalized versions of the old order.

Proxy Murderer
|Kim Director
|First Appearance
Lori Purcell was a con artist who targeted obsessive collectors and fans, pretending to love them in order to convince them to part with valuable collectables. She first appeared on the radar of the Major Case Squad after her toy-collecting ex-boyfriend, Arnold Pierce, was shot by police who mistakenly believed he had just shot his girlfriend. Goren and Eames later discover that Lori had tricked the officers into shooting Arnie, who had discovered Lori's theft of his prized toy robot. At that time, she was dating Dorian Cavanaugh, a fan of Carlotta Francis vampire books who had managed to get his hands on a set of Francis first editions. She developed genuine feelings for Cavanaugh, but nevertheless continued to scam him. When she, in the guise of Jocelyn Shapiro, convinced Cavanaugh to give her the books to be appraised by an antique dealer, Dorian began to realize he was being conned. Angry with her, he trapped her in a wooden coffin with dry ice, where she died of asphyxiation. (CI: "Collective")

Videotape trasfer to digital
1 unit = 1 tape.
With what video technology I have acquired over the years, I will do everything in my ability to transfer your memories from unstable analog signals recorded on a magnetic medium to something digital and slightly more stable. As of right now, I am limited to MiniDV, VHS and super VHS, but in the near future I should be fine with betamax, 8mm/Hi8, and even micromv. I do ask that the tapes at least be playable as I am still new to repairing tapes, but if it plays, it will transfer without question. Be sure to let me know if you would prefer the output on DVD or through a more online medium (dropbox, Google Drive, YouTube, etc.)
Whatever video signal I use runs through a time base correction circuit to provide a more stable picture (less jiggle and more manageable head switching noise). Perfection is difficult but coming close is easier than many like to believe.
Training & Qualifications
As far as video goes, I can say that I am a bit more than just a bit experienced. I have spent almost two decades perfecting my skills with analog and digital video, from dubbing between VCRs to edit crude skits in the early 2000s to manually repairing said tapes in post production in a more digital era and other skills that entail the required steps. I would not call myself a prodigy, but I do have some tricks up my sleve (not at all limited to video equipment most would only see in studios of years past).
Availability & Preferences
In the late hours of most given days.
About Jim Adams
A/V geek with almost two decades experience transferring 6 MHz signals to whatever medium would take it and store it. Name a video trick, I have probably pulled it off in some form or another. Magneti...c media, optical media, less magnetic magnetic media, I have seen it all, I have used it all, I have probably broken it all. I know my way around all sorts of video media. Camcorders with strange little editing things, a VCR with a titler, command line video scripts, even mario paint. I have worked a number of what some may call small miracles with mundane and even (what some regard as) amateur attempts at "tools". It is all the same to me, a method to complete a task which should be a lot simpler than many try to make it. It is fascinating enough to make varying levels of magnetic charge look like a memory plucked right out of somebody's mind, but to make these moving windows into the past sing and dance how you see fit is just something entirely different. I do not claim at all to be an artist, I just create visions in the least exciting way possible with whatever technology can handle it. In the most literal way possible, video is what you make it. Something to remember, something to set a mood. Ever it be something to forget, the media does not lie. Your brain can cloud, video will preserve its integrity. Okay, I never said I was a poet, I spent my time on the technical side of things. Just so we are clear, Jim is a pseudonym I use to hide from certain people. Nothing more elaborate, just keeping my personal life safe from the grind of public interactions (and the negative things that may entail).show moreOpen to other proposals

I am roasting my first goose next week and I could use some help. There are a lot of recipes out there with very different methods. Some recipes call for removing the wishbone first. Is this necessary? Why is it done? Some recipes call for dipping it in boiling water and then drying in the refrigerator over night, or steaming on the stovetop and then drying overnight. Which is better? Is it necessary for crispy skin?
Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

Delta Oil and Gas report that Natural Gas and Condensate production for its recently drilled and completed Donner #4 well, located in Newton County, Texas, is showing signs of stabilized production at approximately 400 MCF per day of sweet gas and 1 - 2 barrels of condensate per day. This recently completed well is expected to be a solid producer at a consistent rate into the future.
The Donner #4 well is the third successful well drilled in this prospect for Delta and its partner, Hillcrest Resources Ltd. The previously drilled Donner #1 has been consistently flowing high quality oil at a daily rate of between 40 and 48 barrels of oil on a restricted 5/64' choke.

Hi I had a TCA Needle Peel done at the dermatologist office. Its been about a week since the peel came off but I was left with bright red marks after the treatment. It looks as though those areas got burned. She derma-stamped the areas before applying the TCA peel. My face is horrific now. I wanted to get rid of some hyper-pigmentation but my face is completely destroyed. I can't stop crying all day long. What are my options at this point?

He is Rupert's best friend, who, unlike Rupert, often presents a lot of flaws, such as cowardice, impatience, clumsiness, and a horrible singing voice. He has a baby brother named Tobey, who appears to be fond of Bill's singing voice.

Dissolve Launches Premium RF Stills Collection
Posted on 10/2/2015 by
Jim Pickerell
Printable Version
Comments (0)
Stock footage provider Dissolve has launched its premium royalty-free stock photography collection. It includes over 200,000 photos hand-picked from some of the world's most acclaimed photography agencies, bringing the number of stock elements Dissolve licenses to over 1 million.
"We're building a collection to serve the needs of our advertising and creative customers, who are looking for fresh, culturally relevant, lifestyle-oriented stock photos," says Aaron Booth, Dissolve's Director of Products. "We'll be growing the collection steadily but very selectively, keeping the focus on quality, so buyers don't have to sift through page after page of irrelevant or dated images."
Stock photography is a natural complement to Dissolve's product mix. The company was founded by former senior employees of Getty Images, Corbis, and Adobe, who have extensive experience building and marketing stock-image libraries.
"With the addition of stock photography, Dissolve consolidates its position as a key resource for today's digital storyteller or graphic designer," says Patrick Lor, CEO of Dissolve. "Our team has unparalleled experience building stock collections that become essential resources for creative work."
The collection launches with images selected from five well-established stock photo agencies: Hero Images, Blend Images, Image Source, Maskot Images, and Cultura. Every image is licensed under a flexible royalty-free agreement that allows unlimited reuse, and includes model and property releases. Images are priced at USD $49, $299, and $499, depending on resolution.
Key demographics pictured in the collection include families at home and at play, kids and teenagers at school, and seniors living healthy lifestyles. The collection also includes tens of thousands of up-to-date business images that reflect the way people dress and interact — with each other or through mobile devices. While the bulk of the collection features human models, sophisticated wildlife, nature, and scenic photography is also part of the mix.

Stock photography on Dissolve is offered via the existing website at
through a simple, easy-to-use search interface. As with its footage offering, Dissolve also offers free research to photo customers who don't have time to search. The photo collection is also part of the Dissolve Priority™ program, a service that saves agencies time and effort by giving them fast image research, 30-day invoicing, and access to unwatermarked comps.

Herman Cain Suspends Campaign
December 30, 2011 by staff
Herman Cain Suspends Campaign, Herman Cain, the charismatic former radio host and pizza magnate who electrified the Republican race for the White House, said Saturday that he was suspending his campaign after more than a month of fighting allegations of sexual misconduct.
With his wife, Gloria, at his side, Cain, 65, broke the news before several hundred disappointed supporters who had gathered for what was to have been the opening of his new national headquarters.
He continued to deny accusations that he sexually harassed several women while he was president of the National Restaurant Association and that he carried on a 13-year extramarital affair with Atlanta-area woman Ginger White. He suspended his campaign, he said, because the accusations and the media coverage were hurting his family.
The accusations have brought "a tremendous painful price on my family," he said. "These false and unproven allegations continue to be spinned in the media and in the court of public opinion so as to create a cloud of doubt over me and this campaign and my family. That spin hurts."
Cain said he will now turn his attention to "Plan B," which begins with a new website — thecainsolutions.com — that he said he will use to continue to advocate for the ideas he raised in the campaign. And, by suspending rather than ending his campaign, Cain can continue to raise money and will also qualify for federal matching funds for 2012 candidates.
White's attorney said in a statement after the announcement that Cain had disparaged his client and should apologize. Cain had called her a "troubled Atlanta businesswoman" whom he had tried to help.
"We continue to encourage Mr. Cain to retract these statements and apologize for the way he has characterized these women in the media," Ed Buckley said. Cain's campaign had no immediate response.
Jim Rosser of Brookhaven was among the more than 400 people in attendance Saturday. Like many in the crowd, he had hoped Cain would be able to continue campaigning.
"He could win the nomination, but all this stuff has got to be cleaned up," said Rosser, 62, a retired manager at AT&T.
But in an interview, Emory University political scientist Alan Abramowitz, an expert on presidential politics, said Cain's difficulties became insurmountable after White went on television last week and said she and Cain had had an affair.
"On top of everything else, it was going to make it very difficult for him to be taken seriously about anything else and to raise money," Abramowitz said.
Cain and his wife met with about a dozen top supporters before Saturday's speech to inform them of his decision.
In his address, Cain said he intends to endorse another candidate for the GOP nomination. A possible recipient of that support is Newt Gingrich, the former House speaker and Georgia congressman with whom Cain enjoys a close relationship.
Following Cain's announcement, Gingrich issued a statement saying Cain would continue to be "a powerful voice in the conservative movement."
When Cain joined the already crowded GOP field in May, few national opinion leaders gave him much of a chance against more experienced, better-funded and better-known opponents.
Over the next four months, Cain did little to change their minds. In debates, his combination of inspirational speaker's fire and natural-born charm served him well. But outside those gatherings, Cain drew little attention.
He released his 9-9-9 tax plan Aug. 18. But it was largely ignored as Texas Gov. Rick Perry jumped into the race and became the instant, if brief, frontrunner.
It wasn't until late September that the "Cain train" began its surge with a surprise win in the closely contested Florida straw poll. He surged in the polls just as Perry's campaign began to lurch, and suddenly it was a Mitt Romney vs. Cain contest.
Then, on Oct. 30, his troubles began. Washington-based Politico reported that two women had accused Cain of sexual harassment when he was head of the National Restaurant Association in the 1990s. On Nov. 7, a Chicago woman held a news conference to say that Cain had groped her in 1997. And Monday, White went on Atlanta television and said she had had a 13-year extramarital affair with Cain.
Cain, who has denied the accusations, said Saturday that he had "made many mistakes in life. Everybody has. \u2026 And I take responsibility for the mistakes I've made, and I have been the very first to own up to any mistakes I've made."
"I am at peace with my God," he added. "I am at peace with my wife. And she is at peace with me."
