I had some bad news yesterday. Apparently the dummy book I did for Templar Publishing (my favourite publisher) failed at the Bologna and London book fairs. They are trying to get feedback from the sales team at the moment, but it is thought that the format, story idea, novelty features and unfortunately the illustrations all combined did not have appeal. Bit of a blow really, but unfortunately this happens quite a lot. For every book that get's published, there are probably two or three that fail to gain interest and are never seen!
My agent feels I did not get anywhere near enough art direction on the project, i.e. colour palette to use, type of content, detailing on little girl, etc., and feels that it isn't entirely down to the artwork that the project failed.
On a brighter note I can however now share the artwork for this book with you and you can let me know what YOU think. So here is the first piece:

In the early days of the Industrial Revolution, before the advent of equipment capable of monitoring the build-up of dangerous gases, miners would take a canary down deep in the mine. Its tiny metabolism was far more sensitive to the gases than were the miners. If the canary keeled over, it was time to get the men out of the mine or they could be next. In global terms, the Arctic is the planet's canary. The multiple ways

Since returning to the nightlife beat, I've been constantly amazed and impressed by the impact of the local breweries on the city's nightlife. The breweries are gathering places for beer aficionados as well as newbies. Now, the breweries are appealing to fitness enthusiasts as well. Nearly every night each week, a brewery offers a fitness activity, from run clubs to yoga. Prices range from free to $5, and often include a beer.
I call the trend Brewfit, but it's more than fitness. It's community. The breweries are taking what can often be solo activities, such as running, and turning them into community events. They're creating new communities within yoga and crossfit groups, both of which are cliquish. The breweries are finding new and fun ways to bring people together.
Brewfit schedule after the video.

Jenny came to Texas ya'll... my friend and co-worker at Venus. She won VT7 (Venus transformation contest), here is her podcast and B&A pics- http://www.venusindex.com/endless-cardio-does-not-give-you-the-shape-you-desire-interview-with-jenny-weaks/
We are both coaches for Venus Index so if you would like to train and/or transform under us, go sign up ASAP as there is a limited number of spots! http://clients.venusindex.com/premium-one-on-one-coaching/ Be sure to note which coach you want on your intake form!
So while Jenny was here, we had a photo shoot. That was actually the reason she came.
|Just a few of my faves, I will spare you ;)
And we taught a Venus gym class
And we went on a hike with my sis-in-law Erin at Palo Duro Canyon
We had a full weekend! And I loved every minute of it. So I thought I would share one of Jenny's trademark recipes that all the Venus ladies love. It is simple, flavorful, and so much food!
Jenny's Asian Broccoli Slaw Stir FryThe stuff:
- 4 oz lean ground beef browned and drained
- half a yellow onion
- 10 spears of asparagus or you can use broccoli
- one cup of broccoli slaw
- 2 tbsp PB2 mixed with 1 tbsp water and tbsp lite soy sauce or bragg's aminos
- bragg's amino or lite soysauce
- 1tsp sesame oil
I take the broc slaw, sliced onion, asparagus and the tsp of sesame oil and I shake them up in a ziploc or tupperware just to get it even coated and throw them in a skillet on med and let them soften up. Once they are ready I throw in the ground beef. Mix your 2 tbsp of PB2 with 1tbsp of water and one tbsp of lite soy sauce and throw it over the whole thing. Sometimes I even throw in some scrambed egg whites. You can really get creative with this recipe, but I'm here to tell you it is VERY filling and flavorful. The ground beef really soaks up the pB2/soy sauce blend.
Season with pepper and salt to your liking, so yummy.
|I forgot asparagus so I subbed mini bell peppers and a touch of celery

Tonight has been non-freakin' STOP!! Allison is feeding bullshit lines to Amanda, Josh is planning a verbal attack on Allison tonight (to which I am personally greatful for! lol), Alex is still 'whatever' about it all and in his mind, he's already going home. Oh, and can someone in the BB house tell Allison to stop saying "totally" and "trust me" and "a million, billion percent"???! Grrr!
Alex TRIED, for about 10 mins earlier tonight, to start shit with Matt by calling him out things, but it backfired. So its back to square one for Alex (though he's not gonna try anymore. He's done.) Ya know, I feel for Alex. He got screwed over because of his partner running her mouth and getting him pulled into her shit. Nothing he can do about it (then or now).
Soooo...this video is of James and Chelsia talking and he says "So, Matt stays."
(captured by yours truly)
***I would like to take a moment to remind everyone that I have a "Donate" button...

Okay, back to the update...
Josh and Sharon were in the hot tub tooting their own horns about how they have been stirring shit up in the house (but what THEY don't know is that tonight, the HG's are on to them and they're going to be targeted very soon for it):
And here is Alex telling Sharon to not mess up her own game while in the process of trying to save his ass:
I'm done with the videos for tonight, I took 9 vidoes today for you guys!!! That's ALOT! lol So now I'm gonna enjoy the feeds and the drama and I'll be back bright and early with a FULL OVERNIGHT REPORT and more vids for ya!!

Stay up to date with the latest tech news. Check out the some of the best tech news and breaking tech news from THE TECH GUY.
SteamOS Beta is the first public release of our Linux-based operating system. The base system draws from Debian 7, code named Debian Wheezy. Our work builds on top of the solid Debian core and optimizes it for a living room experience. Most of all, it is an open Linux platform that leaves you in full control. You can take charge of your system and install new software or content that you want.
Installing and Customizing Steam OS
What are the Steam OS Hardware Requirements?
Processor: Intel or AMD 64-bit capable processor
Memory: 4GB or more RAM
Hard Drive: 500GB or larger disk
Video Card: NVIDIA graphics card
(AMD and Intel graphics support coming soon!)
Additional: UEFI boot support
USB port for installation
How do I install SteamOS?
There are two different installation methods for SteamOS. The recommended method is the Default Installation method, which is a pre-configured image-based install using CloneZilla. The other method uses Debian Installer, which allows for customization after an automated install step. Please choose one of those methods below.
WARNING: Both installation methods will erase all content on the target computer
Default Installation:
You will need to create a SteamOS System Restore USB stick to perform this install. The image provided here requires at least a 1TB disk.
Download the default SteamOS beta installation.
Format a 4GB or larger USB stick with the FAT32 filesystem. Use "SYSRESTORE" as the partition name.
Unzip the contents of SYSRESTORE.zip to this USB stick to create the System Restore USB stick.
Put the System Restore USB stick in your target machine. Boot your machine and tell the BIOS to boot off the stick. (usually something like F8, F11 or F12 will bring up the BIOS boot menu).
Make sure you select the UEFI entry, it may look something like "UEFI: Patriot Memory PMAP". If there is no UEFI entry, you may need to enable UEFI support in your BIOS setup.
Select "Restore Entire Disk" from the GRUB menu.
When it is complete it will shutdown. Power on the machine to boot into your freshly re-imaged SteamOS.
Custom Installation:
The second method is based on the Debian Installer. It requires multiple configuration steps:
Download the custom SteamOS beta installation.
Unzip the SteamOS.zip file to a blank, FAT32-formatted USB stick.
Put the USB stick in your target machine. Boot your machine and tell the BIOS to boot off the stick. (usually something like F8, F11, or F12 will bring up the BIOS boot menu).
Make sure you select the UEFI entry, it may look something like "UEFI: Patriot Memory PMAP". If there is no UEFI entry, you may need to enable UEFI support in your BIOS setup.
Selected "Automated install" from the menu.
The rest of the installation is unattended and will repartition the drive and install SteamOS.
After installation is complete, log onto the resulting system (using the Gnome session) with the predefined "steam" account. The password is "steam". Run steam, accept the EULA, and let it bootstrap. Logoff the steam account.
Log on with the "desktop" account. The password is "desktop".
From a terminal window, run ~/post_logon.sh. This will prompt for a password - enter "desktop". This script will perform the post-install customizations, delete itself, then reboot into the recovery partition capture utility.
Confirm "y" to continue and the recovery partition will be created. When it is finished, reboot into your freshly installed SteamOS.
Providing everyone a one stop shop on the latest tech information whether you need help with any operating system, tablet, PC or smart-phone.

Before you make a decision to repair garage door springs, you must be aware of a few things. The springs on garage doors are under a great deal of pressure. If they snap and this is an opportunity, they can cause an injury that could be rather serious. The best point to do, specifically, if you are not experienced at this kind of repair is to call an expert Clarke Garage Door Service. They are specially educated and also have actually the devices needed to transform the springtimes or repair them.
Garage door springtimes lie on both sides of the door. Even if you are only having troubles with one, transforming both of them is best. If one breaks or has problems, the other will likely follow suit shortly. The springtimes are typically good for roughly 10,000 openings prior to needing to be changed. Some springtimes are extension springs and also are knotted. Other kinds consisting of torsion springtimes are used for garage doors too.
The springtimes that are needed are not going to be simple to discover for an individual that is not in the garage door company.
This is one more trouble than the typical individual will certainly run into when attempting to repair door springtimes. If you locate the best ones, you will likely pay much more for them since makers do not such as to offer to the consumer. They favor to market to the suppliers in an effort to prevent troubles.
If you are identified to find the springs and also fix the door on your own, you will most likely be in for a search. Discovering the best kind and the right dimension is not going to be easy. The dimensions must be precise as there are several kinds of springs within each group. The dimension of the cable, the size and also the inside diameter of the spring will be consisted of in these measurements.
If your door has torsion springs, there are 2 on each side of the door. The dimensions for replacements cannot be off also by a little since every one specifies to the weight of the door on which it is utilized. This establishes the quantity of torque that is demand when opening and shutting the door.
Furthermore, when you choose to alter the springs yourself, if something is not installed properly or the door does not function correctly afterward, you have to start all over once more. This can end up being rather pricey. When you look for a specialist to execute this repair or substitute, the work needs to be ensured. This is one of the important things that you will certainly want to ensure of before employing a garage door repair service person.
The components they use are assured as well. This implies that if something happens in a few days as well as the garage is not working effectively, they will certainly return and take care of the issue without cost to you. As a result, the garage door repair expenditure that is sustained when must be fixed or replaced is probably going to be much less if you choose a business that specializes in garage doors.

I woke shielding my eyes from the light. The snow-covered yard was now a giant reflecting dish, pouring the early morning sun into the room. Kris was lying still, in the same spot. My arms had been around him all night, and my feet warmly tucked under his legs. He was like a living electric blanket.
"I got to sleep next to you all night," he said, surprising me by being awake.
"And all you did was sleep," Max said, walking in. "What a waste!" He was wearing his dress pants and a borrowed sweatshirt. "Now you've overslept everyone and Jordan is eating your breakfast."
Sid had three kinds of toothpaste in his bathroom. Who does that? I picked the whitening version and went to work. Looking in the mirror, I met Max's eyes as he came in behind me.
"I hoped you might come see me last night," he said.
I finished rinsing. "Max…"
He held up a hand, gently. "It's okay. We all know that I probably wouldn't be a gentleman about it." He dropped his hand with a shrug. "Just jealous. That's quality snuggle time I missed."
"Max Talbot loves to cuddle," I pointed at him with the toothbrush. "That would ruin your reputation, Casanova."
A small smile crossed his face. "No one would believe it. But I'll let you make it up to me later." He watched me put the toothbrush down and turn to leave.
"Ew, cherie. Ew." He said.
"Sid, do you know Kahlan uses your toothbrush?" Max said, walking into the kitchen. He grabbed the orange juice and started pouring a glass.
"Well I'm not kissing her if she has morning breath," he said without turning away from the stove. Jordan coughed, choking on his eggs as he laughed. A beat later, Geno smiled as he got the joke.
"I would." Max handed me the juice and looked me right in the eye.
A huge half-empty plate of scrambled eggs, half a loaf of toast, jelly, butter and ketchup were on the table. Sid was making another batch of eggs. I put blackberry jam on some toast and went around his side.
"I would if you were naked," Sid told me, and everyone.
Turning to everyone, "The cars are plowed out, and we have to be at the Mellon in an hour. Kay, maybe you and Cara can take Jordan's car and I'll drive him home after?"
Jordan gave us a ten minute speech on being careful with his car. Cara listened closely, then promised to drive the whole way in reverse while eating a burrito.
As soon as we were in the car, she squealed, "I'm coming on the New Years trip!"
"You are?!" I gasped. "Yay!" I leaned over and hugged her.
"Jordan asked me last night. Sid mentioned their plan, and since you were going… Jordan wanted me to be there too. Isn't that sweet?" She was clearly thrilled, twisting her hands in her sweater.
"Hmmm, Staal's getting serious," I raised my eyebrows at her and she giggled.
I'd been kicking around an idea since the night before, when I first saw Mario & Nathalie's house. Cara took a detour to the Christmas Tree Shoppe. I bought a tree – well, a fake tree that folded into a perfect coil. A pole went up the middle, hanging the spiral down around itself. The metal was wrapped in green tinsel – instant Christmas tree! We bought lights, ornaments and a little Santa hat for the top. I got three stockings and some paint to put names on them. Cara bought a 12" tall table-top tree, and a maple leaf ornament for Jordan. For Kris I got a snowflake and for Max a star. I got Sid an ornament shaped like an old-fashioned key.
I put the tree up, hung the lights and decorations. Thankfully the guys had short names which easily fit on their stockings. At the bottom of a box of old CDs I found a holiday album.
When the guys walked in the door, they both stopped dead. The living room was decked out – lights sparkling in the tree, flashing off the tinsel. I had my Santa hat on, and I'd lit a cookie-scented candle.
"Our Christmas is tomorrow night, Tuesday," I announced. "No game, and I'll make dinner." The guys had one game on Wednesday, then the break started on Christmas Eve.
The guys lost to Vancouver that night, but Kris and Max seemed fine after the game. Some of the press suggested the team was already mentally breaking for the holiday. I suspected they might be half right. Four days was longer than usual between games over the holidays. We went to sleep with the lights of the tree burning brightly in the darkness.
Tuesday morning, I went to the mall when the guys went to practice. Now that I'd pushed Christmas up, I had to think of gifts. A couple of regular things and maybe one special thing for each of them. The stores were packed, Christmas music played and it was impossible not to feel the holiday spirit. I bought a gingerbread cookie and wandered the festive hallways.
My first purchase was a sponge for Max. Just in case we ever needed it again. I chose the softest, most luxurious one I could find and tracked down some of his deliciously-scented body wash to go with it. At the bookstore, I found a cookbook dedicated entirely to making different kinds of chicken parm. I also found a little manual on giving cranial-sacral, or head and scalp, massages. I bought some other stuff – a cute fedora for Max, two new ties to replace a couple of Kris' that I hated. A deep blue scarf made me think of Max, and I found a pair of really cozy slipper socks that I thought Kris might put on his perpetually bare feet. Now I needed something special.
I thought about how each of the guys made me feel. For Max, the instant reaction was something sexy. But I didn't know how to do that without it being a come-on. Every option seemed too provocative, held a promise that I wasn't sure I could fulfill. I wandered through the mens sections at Macy's and Nordstrom, and even through Victoria's Secret.
What a waste, I thought as I ran a set of beautiful silk underthings through my hands. Can't wear any of this stuff. As I left the store, my phone buzzed.
Max: Did I just see you near Victoria's Secret?
Me: Just buying Sid's Christmas present. Don't follow me!
Avoiding the direction he was probably headed, I tried thinking of Kris. Something sweet, warm, patient, loyal. No, do not go near the pet store. I'd absolutely go home with an adorable little puppy to completely fall in love with.
The search was frustrating me. Hours passed and I was finally giving up. My last stop was a stationary store, for cards. I picked a drawing of a baseball pitcher throwing snowballs for Kris. They don't make toast and butter Christmas cards, so Max got one with a buff Santa flexing on the cover. As I walked to the counter, I saw it.
A small table displayed all kinds of fill-in-the-blank gift certificates. 'Good for one massage' and 'Good for one house cleaning' were the store examples. I knew immediately. I want to spend time with them, I want to show that I'm not freaking out and scared to be around them. I want them to know they are important to me. I picked pieces of the parchment paper with different colored writing. I bought a calligraphy pen and beautiful large envelopes. Satisfied, I went home.
Kris must have been out shopping as well. I wrapped all the presents and arranged them under the tree, then went back out for groceries. It was nearing 6 PM and I had one thing left to do before starting dinner.
I laid out the gift certificates and the calligraphy pen. There were nights off night between games on the New Years' trip – the 28th in Montreal, the 30th in Toronto. Then New Years' Eve in would be in Ottawa, off day Jan 1st and a game on the 2nd. This is good. It's fun and personal, but it's safe. We're all in the same hotel. They have roommates and I am with Cara. Boundaries are good.
Max got the blue certificate. I wrote: Good for one date – Toronto, December 2009
Green for Kris: Good for one date – Montreal, December 2009
I will decide. I will choose. I will concentrate, and I will stop this nonsense of bouncing back and forth, hurting everyone, risking whatever they see in me as worthy. I will choose.
I folded them into their ornate envelopes and scripted their names across the fronts.
At 7 PM, the door opened but whoever it was went straight to his room. I heard plastic bags jostling together.
"Can I use your wrapping paper?" Max called, coming into the kitchen. He peeked over my shoulder and found me mashing potatoes. He inhaled and said, "Needs more butter." Swatting my butt, he left.
Dinner was nearly ready when Kris came in carrying a bottle of wine. Without being asked, he poured me a glass and went about setting the table. I laid out pork chops with apple chutney, mashed potatoes, asparagus and fresh rolls with honeyed butter. Max pulled my chair out for me, then sat across and poured wine for himself and Kris.
The dinner was delicious, if I did say so myself. For desert, I'd made bread pudding with maple syrup and brown sugar. I scooped vanilla bean ice cream on to the hot dish, and the boys polished them off quickly. I licked my spoon, sat back and smiled. The kitchen cozy with us at the table. Warm, fresh food smells drifted around. I was full and a little fuzzy from the wine. I snuggled in my khaki green turtleneck sweater.
"That was incredible," Max said, actually rubbing his stomach. He pushed back. "Don't move, I need 5 minutes to get everything ready."
Kris stood and kissed my cheek. "Superb. Merci." Then he followed Max out.
The boys never left leftovers, so I just piled the dishes in the sink. I opened a second bottle of wine and sipped it until Max called me into the living room. I grabbed the two envelopes from my room. They'd piled presents around, and someone had put one of those live-action burning log DVDs on the TV. I sat down between them, on the floor in front of the tree.
"Me first!" Kris said, handing me a flat package neatly wrapped in green and white striped paper. He had not wrapped this himself. I peeled it open and flipped it over: A book entitled How to Win at Strip Poker. Inside, the pages had a cutout space where a deck of semi-racy playing cards was stored.
"Tanger, the idea is for her to lose at strip poker," Max admonished. He handed me a small box. Inside were a pair of really cute knitted mittens with little Canadian flags on the thumbs. "For your trip!" He smiled.
We exchanged back and forth. Max offered to let me try to the sponge out right away. Kris started picking out his favorite chicken parm recipes. He gave me some delicious perfume that smelled of sandalwood and jasmine. Max presented me with a gorgeous briefcase for my new job. I gave Kris his ties, both of which he put on at the same time, and Max also wore his fedora and scarf.
We sat amidst the littered wrapping paper, sipping wine. I put my Canada mittens on and tried to hold my glass. Everyone told a childhood Christmas story, then one embarrassing childhood story. Finally, I broke out my final gift.
"I wanted to get each of you something special. I know we've been having a rough time lately, and nothing I found seemed to be right. So I came up with these. You're both getting the same thing, sort of. And it's meant to say 'Thank you' and 'I'm sorry' and 'I love you' and 'This is crazy' all at the same time." I handed them each an envelope.
As they read the certificates, they looked at each other and smiled.
"Do we get to pick what the date is?" Kris asked. I nodded.
A huge smile flashed across Max's face. "Game on."
The Pens shellacked the Senators 8-2 in the last game before Christmas. Everyone headed home quickly, anxious to get on the road the next day.
"Pick you up at 7 AM, lady," Sidney said as we headed to our cars.
I had packed every warm thing I owned, and some nice outfits. Against my better judgment and without really considering why, I packed some sexy underwear. If airport security decides to search my bag in front of the guys, I am screwed.
I knocked on Max's door. He was zipping up his own suitcase.
"Cherie, I will miss you." He wrapped me in a hug. I promised to miss him too, and to call on Christmas Day. "My family will want to know why you're with Sidney and not with me."
"Because you won't let me use your toothbrush," I said, face pressed to his chest.
Max stood back to face me, and his smile slowly faded. "Behave yourself with the Kid. He'll take an opportunity if you give it to him."
"Max, I won't," I said, wondering again why I had packed that lingerie. I hugged him again and left.
Kris' door was open, so I tossed myself down on his bed. His suitcase was full but open, and nothing inside was folded.
"Are you bringing home dirty clothes?"
"Oui. I love when my mom does my laundry." He sat next to me.
"I'll miss you Kris. Merry Christmas."
He leaned over and kissed my cheek. "You too, belle. And please…" he looked away and did not finish his sentence.
"I won't fall in love with Sidney," I promised.
Kris smiled, and I knew I'd guessed right. "Sometimes I think he's the closest of us all."

Footprints of president's own history either vanish or remain covered up.
Fox News contacted 400 of his classmates, none of who remembered him. The Columbia University chapter in Obama's life remains blank.
While nearly 400,000 concerned citizens demand President Obama present his elusive "long-form" birth certificate, more than a dozen other documents remain unreleased or otherwise blocked from the public eye.
Numerous documents which have yet to be surrendered include the following.
Obama kindergarten records
Punahou School records
Occidental College records
Columbia University records
Columbia thesis "Soviet Nuclear Disarmament"
Harvard Law Review articles
University of Chicago scholarly articles
Medical records
Birth certificate
Other documents
According to additional records listed at the Obama File Report, other documents that remain unreleased include:
Complete files and schedules of his years as an Illinois state senator from 1997 to 2004
Obama's client list from during his time in private practice with the Chicago law firm of Davis, Miner, Barnhill and Gallard
Illinois State Bar Association records
Baptism records
Obama/Dunham marriage license
Obama/Dunham divorce documents
Soetoro/Dunham marriage license
Adoption records
Farah said the campaign was born of frustration with timid elected officials in Washington, corrupt judges around the country and a news media that show a stunning lack of curiosity about the most basic facts of Obama's background – especially how it relates to constitutional eligibility for the highest office in the land.
"As Obama transforms this country from self-governing constitutional republic to one governed by a central ruling elite, the simple fact remains that no controlling legal authority has established that he is indeed a 'natural born citizen' as the Constitution requires," Farah said. "Obama's promises of transparency have become a bad joke as he continues to hide simple, innocuous documents like his birth certificate and his student records." Read More
Obama what are you hiding from we the American people? What are you afraid of? We will find out about you Obama sooner or later because this issue will not go away?

Tips for Effective Bullying Intervention
Nip bullying in the bud with these strategies from the curriculum crafted for No Name Calling Week. And for more information about the event, which takes place from Jan. 23-27 this year, go to http://www.nonamecallingweek.org.
How to Intervene to Stop Bullying
As adults, we may feel uncertain about how to handle bullying when we see or hear it happening. Or we may respond in ways that don't make the best use of the opportunity to teach a young person the difference between appropriate and inappropriate behavior. We could end Lip inadvertently promoting, rather than reducing bullying. Here are some tips to help respond more effectively on-the-spot and make the best use of the "teachable moment" with all students at school.
When You See or Hear Bullying Happen
* Immediately stop the bullying. Stand between the child(ren) who bullied and those who were bullied, preferably blocking eye contact between them. Don't send any students away, especially bystander(s). Don't ask about or discuss the reason for the bullying or try to sort out the facts now.
* Refer to the bullying behavior and to the relevant school rules against bullying.
Use a matter-of-fact tone of voice to state what behaviors you saw/heard. Let students know that bullying is unacceptable and against school rules (e.g., "Calling someone names is bullying and is against our school rules" or "That was bullying. I won't allow students to push or hurt each other that way.")
* Support the bullied child in a way that allows him/her to regain self-control, to "save face," and to feel supported and sale from retaliation. Make a point to see the child litter in private if she/he is upset, but don't ask what happened now. It can be very uncomfortable to be questioned in front of other students. Let his/her teacher(s) know what happened so they can provide additional support and protection. Increase supervision to assure the bullying is not repeated and does not escalate.
* Include the bystanders in the conversation and give them guidance about how they might appropriately intervene or get help next time. Don't put bystanders on the spot to explain publicly what they observed. Use a calm, matter-of-fact, supportive tone of voice to let them know that you noticed their inaction or that you are pleased with the way they tried to help, even if they weren't successful. If they did not act, or responded in aggressive ways, encourage them to take a more active or pro-social role next time (e.g., "Maybe you weren't sure what to do. Next time, please tell the person to stop or get an adult to help if you feel you can't work together to handle the situation.")
* If appropriate, impose immediate consequences for students who bully others. Do not require students to apologize or make amends during the heat-of-the-moment (everyone should have time to cool off). …

Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant
The Japanese government said Friday that the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant has achieved a stable state of cold shutdown, after about nine months of efforts to bring the world's worst nuclear accident since Chernobyl under control.
The melted fuel inside the stricken Nos. 1 to 3 reactors is currently believed to be cooling stably.
Plant operator Tokyo Electric Power Co. is expected to move on to the next stage of maintaining the safety of the plant and at the same time making preparations toward scrapping the reactors.

As Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney comes under fire in New Hampshire for touting his business experience, we look at how his private equity firm, Bain Capital, drove a Kansas City steel plant into bankruptcy, leading to some 750 layoffs and a federal bailout. Bain still walked away with millions of dollars in profits. We speak with Reuters reporter Andy Sullivan, who covered the story, and with Joe Soptic, a steelworker who lost his job at Kansas City's Worldwide Grinding Systems steel mill after 28 years. "The first thing I noticed after the company was bought out ... they became very union-non-friendly. I mean, they started looking for ways to eliminate jobs," says Soptic. "In my department, they actually offered to buy our jobs out from underneath us. They cut back on safety equipment." Regarding Romney's business acumen, Soptic adds, "If he would run the country the way that he ran our business, I wouldn't want him in there as president." [includes rush transcript]

Chap 1.
It was lunch time, and we were making out in my car. This had been our only activity for days, and I was getting tired of regularly sticking my tongue down her throat. I mean – I'm all for making out – but if you aren't even going to let me touch your tits, then at least give me one of those pretentious thigh rubs. You know the ones I'm talking about – the ones where you aren't sure if she's going to touch your dick or not, and all your attention is diverted to the fact that she might touch your dick or not, and you even stop moving your tongue around cause you can't stop thinking about wether she's going to touch your dick or not, and then she touches your dick. Or not.
The latter, in my case. I put my arm around her and slowly began to descend across her lower back, hoping she'd at least be charitable enough to let me touch her ass. Wrong again, Wing. As soon as I hit skirt, she slapped my fingers out of the way, and gave me this look as if I had shot Jesus's dog. Eventually; I decided to pull the plug on the whole idea of making out, realizing no sexual milestones would be reached today, and afraid I might tore a tongue muscle or my ego.
Truth is, Claire was a bit of a Christian – and not even one of the good ones at that. I mean; Most Catholics enjoy sucking dick, and Mormon chicks are infatuated with anal, and pretty much all of them certainly don't mind giving a handjob – anything really as long as that vagina thingy doesn't break – but my dear girlfriend's will was stronger than Popeye on spinach! Shit, we'd been going out for nine months and she still woudn't let me touch her tits, and it was bullshit! Cause they looked awesome. It was like denying candy to a baby, or – cocaine to a fat comedian.
I'm not an intolerable guy, you know. Honest vestal imperturbability I can handle; But uncertain, brick-in-the-wall stoic Christian bullshit really gets on my nerves. Don't get me wrong; Philosophically, I dig some of their stuff, like 'Do unto others what you would have them do to you', but maybe that's about it.
I guess the problem, personally, has always been that shiny silver cross dangling from their necks. I mean, you know people are fucked up when they amble blissfully through life with an element of torture hanging from their necks. I mean – would they still do it if Jesus had gotten his head cut-off? What would you think of someone who went to pray and chant to a building decorated with golden guillotines and filled with equally perturbed bastards who hoped for the return of a headless fellow that got decapitated for their sins? It's insane. I swear – one of these days I'm going to come up with some spiritual bullshit and invent a religion, and convince everyone to worship some guy who got killed by a lethal injection – just to see how many people would wear a necklace with a syringe in it. If Tom Cruise can do it, so can I.
"Is something wrong?" she asked. I slowly turned to look at her, once again aware of her existence.
"I don't know," I answered, negligent. I seldom forgive people interrupting me when I'm thinking, particularly when I'm being so apt at it.
"What's up?" she asked, and looked at me strangely, as if I were a lunatic or something. Can't a man just space out for a second?
Suddenly, I had a curious thought – a thought that came to me projected as an image. I pictured this lone, black wolf ice-skating by himself. He had his arms behind his back, his chin was looking up, and he was smiling. He had the look on his face of someone who was listening to beautiful music.
I had this funny feeling – a feeling that maybe I didn't want to be with this chick anymore. She was boring the hell out of me.

I'm not going to write a detailed review of the latest Harry Potter DVD, as I'm sure that anyone who's interested will have seen it already. It's the usual two-disc package with interviews, some behind the scenes stuff, and some silly games. But it does have some really nice dragons . Which is what led me to write this post. Like most people, I rarely stay to the end of the credits when I see movies at the cinema. Most of the time, this is no great loss, but sometimes film makers sneak in things that make it worth staying awake to watch the credits at the end of the DVD. And this is one of those cases:
No dragons were harmed in the making of this movie
Good thing, too. I like dragons![1]

Exceptionalism has long characterised France. On the cultural front, two years ago the country requested the audio-visual sector (including French cinema) be excluded from the US-EU free trade agreement. The French labour market also has its own idiosyncrasies.
On average, the French work much less than their EU peers (186 and 239 hours fewer a year than the Germans and British respectively), mainly due to the controversial 35 hour work-week ensconced in law in 1998. Despite such policies being disconnected from the economic circumstances France is facing (figures on Friday showed that its economy stagnated in the second quarter), many reforms have been avoided. "L'exception Française" has shown itself again since the financial crisis, as French politicians steered clear of major public spending cuts, which have been progressively implemented by several of France's neighbours.
France also displays diverging trends within institutional equity markets. Investors withdrew $1.5bn from French-focused funds (including mutual funds and ETFs) in the year to date, while funds investing in other Eurozone equities recorded inflows, based on our own research and Lipper data. For example, funds investing in German, Italian and Spanish companies have received $7.1bn, $673m and $159m of institutional money respectively. Surprisingly, the peak in outflows from funds investing in French equities occurred in February and March, just after Mario Draghi's QE announcement, which was well received by European market participants.
Investors have been cautious on French equities since the beginning of the year, despite a positive first quarter economically. Declining oil prices and the depreciation of the euro versus the US dollar boosted local consumption and exports, leading to a GDP increase of 0.6 per cent in the first three months of the year (versus 0.4 per cent Eurozone growth). The ECB's dovish monetary policy has kept interest rates artificially low, while working to pull European countries out of deflation.
As stagnant second quarter GDP figures perhaps show, these temporary effects are unlikely to raise France's long-term growth prospects. There are four paramount areas of concern, which dampen French attractiveness from an investment standpoint.
First, the French labour market remains too inflexible. It is a long and expensive process to fire employees, while the hourly minimum wage is also relatively high. According to the OECD, labour market rigidity is the main drag on the country's recovery.
Second, budget deficit targets are unlikely to be met this year, according to the Cour des Comptes chief Didier Migaud. Further deterioration might trigger the imposition of sanctions by the European Commission.
Third, total debt (at 95 per cent of GDP) might soon spiral out of control, with a negative impact on credit ratings, thereby raising borrowing costs and reducing foreign investment.
Fourth, the anti-euro, far-right party Front National is becoming a viable political group. Marine Le Pen's momentum may be explained by the internal divisions and corruption scandals within the centre right party Les Républicains, led by former President Nicolas Sarkozy, and by President Hollande's ongoing struggles, indicated by record unemployment since his election three years ago. Conflicts in the mainstream parties have become an asset for Le Pen, who is set to join the second round of the 2017 presidential election.
There have been some moves towards reform. Following his tumble in popularity last year, President Hollande reversed his stance by implementing a pro-business agenda, appointing reformist Manuel Valls as prime minister and former investment banker Emmanuel Macron as economy minister. This duo seems determined to devise and carry though structural reforms and budget cuts, despite fierce opposition from disenchanted socialists like Arnaud Montebourg.
Macron's bold decision to bypass parliament to implement the Growth and Economic Activity Bill using constitutional article 49-3 is a reflection of the government's eagerness to get things done. The fact that Socialists end up reforming the country more than the centre right is a French paradox, which may be explained by left wing governments' close relationships with the country's powerful unions.
Despite favourable external factors and the government's new reformist stance, however, institutional investors have pulled money back from French equity-focused funds since the start of the year. Consequently, there has been less fresh institutional capital directed towards French companies.
To reverse this trend, France must tackle some of its most pressing issues. First, push through meaningful labour market reforms. Valls's "Small Business Act à la Française", which caps tribunal payouts to lower litigation costs, is a good start. Second, reduce government spending by fixing and/or reducing the unaffordable healthcare budget. Last but not least, raise the retirement age to match the cost of upcoming pensions. Under the current regime, France's pension deficit is projected to reach 0.4 per cent of GDP in 2019.
This is no easy task, but investors are watching closely and scrutinising every move. Aux grands maux les grands remèdes.

Was going to go to Mass. Completely forgot. Was going to watch the Final of Euro '08 with my mate Dan, but told him I'd be working on my MA.
Which I started, looking at the ten questionnaires I got back, assigning the students pseudonyms. These ten will form my sample now. It's not ideal. The initial idea for the research sprang from the radical difference in ability between two students from the same background, one of them a model learner, the other being a student from hell.
But, student from hell, true to form, did not return his questionnaire: neither did any of his classmates, the perennial non-achievers. Which tells us something, perhaps. [Btw, for reference a few days down the road when I come back to this: the ten questionnaires are in the zippy pocket on the inside lid of the new suitcase].
I should have been collating test data for these ten, instead I spent some time on Flickr, set up a photo for later, packed some more, (down to the absolute minimum of stuff now, if I wash my clothes everyday...) Made a cup of tea, and let it go cold whilst I did the packing.
Then I felt unaccountably flakey, and lay down for ten minutes. Realised I wasn't right, that being in this situation wasn't right. But what you gonna do? Smoke another shisha pipe? Take a photo of it? Watch disc 3 from series 5 of The Sopranos? Probably.

Research Institution
AbstractThe US Navy in this Topic identified the need to develop and demonstrate innovative technologies that leverage existing and emerging commercial real-time wireless circuitry by upconversion of frequency to 60 GHz (V-band) for short range, high security applications. This topic was originated by the NavAir F/A-18 Program Office to research the possibility of using a millimeter wave wireless local area network within the aircraft to replace all or most of the hard cabling for avionics equipment. This concept can be called "fly by wireless". The potential benefit of this concept is the removal of a significant percentage of the weight of the aircraft resulting from the existing avionics hard cabling. Proposed is a WNAA network operating at 60 GHz that is (1) compact size to fit in compartment with little unused space, (2) low-cost, utilizing existing or emerging Commercial of the Shelf (COTS) components, (3) highly reliable and capable of wide bandwidth and low latency, (4) operates in high multipath environment, and (5) operates with low power drain. Phase I results clearly indicate that the concept of V-Band Wireless Network for Avionics Applications is both feasible and highly advantageous.

Bowdabra Creases Question
In the instructions it says to use a mountain down crease when starting your bow, and a mountain up crease for the loops. Is that just the accordion fold I've seen, where its 3 folds, or do you just fold it in half either up or down? Every video I've watched of theirs it looks like they just push the ribbon down in the middle without doing any folding, but I could be wrong.
The mountain up crease I'm having a hard time getting. Not sure how to get the center to go up while the sides stay down if its a 3 fold.
Help please

Re: Bowdabra Creases Question
I just saw your Bowdabra question, in reference to the Mountain up and Mountain down question. Many times for regular bows the ribbon is just pushed down into the center. - But for hair bows I wanted to make sure there was a crease option. For me it is always easier to make a Mountain up (which would also be an accordion fold, 3 sided folded). When I start my bows I make a Mountain up, then just turn the ribbon over (so that I have the Mountain down) next I pinch the ribbon in the center, and then press it into the Mini Bowdabra.

Stop Changing Your Oil!
Oil chemistry and engine technology have evolved tremendously in recent years, but you'd never know it from the quick-change behavior of American car owners. Driven by an outdated 3,000-mile oil change commandment, they are unnecessarily spending millions of dollars and spilling an ocean of contaminated waste oil."

Obama's place of birth has already been corroborated. But this fringe group is still getting attention. I think these people are very strange, and they have an agenda. Definitely fringe.
Bill Clinton had the Vince Foster "murder." George W. Bush had 9/11 Truth. And the new administration has brought with it a new culture of conspiracy: The Birthers.
Out of the gaze of the mainstream and even the conservative media is a flourishing culture of advocates, theorists and lawyers, all devoted to proving that Barack Obama isn't eligible to be president of the United States. Viewed as irrelevant by the White House, and as embarrassing by much of the Republican Party, the subculture still thrives from the conservative website WorldNetDaily, which claims that some 300,000 people have signed a petition demanding more information on Obama's birth, to Cullman, Alabama, where Sen. Richard Shelby took a question on the subject at a town hall meeting last week.
Their confinement to the fringe hasn't cooled the passion of believers; the obscure New York preacher James Manning turned up at a National Press Club session in December to declare the president "the most notorious criminal in the history not just of America, but of this entire planet."
Link above.Conservatives see that hazard.
The conservative talk show host Michael Medved recently referred to the movement's leaders as "crazy, nutburger, demagogue, money-hungry, exploitative, irresponsible, filthy conservative imposters" who are "the worst enemy of the conservative movement."
"It makes us look weird. It makes us look crazy. It makes us look demented. It makes us look sick, troubled, and not suitable for civilized company," he mourned.

Hey Runners,
We know how challenging it was to complete those races, and how proud you must be about your accomplishments!
Now you have one online place to keep all your race memories and achievements - your Runner Profile on RunPage.
In your Runner Profile you can add your status as a runner, set your goals, update about your next race and note your personal records!
You can also highlight the races you are most proud about, and easily customize the header image with your best photo.
Finally - you should go ahead and share it with the world. You deserve to be proud about your achievements!
Runners are free to explore new routes, new trails and new scenery. Runners, who share their running experience in RunPage stories might imagine running longer because of their ability to relive the experience, inspire someone to try running for the first time, to connect with their running communities, and most importantly with families and friends about their finish line experiences.
All that is left now is to share the memories and relive the experience with other runners, your friends and family! All of your race photos and memories are stored in one convenient location and easy to access and update at any time!
Welcome to RunPage!
RunPage, the newest platform for runners and race finishers to relive, celebrate and share the race experience, is now available to all races using the Pic2Go branded photos!
With the growing need of runners and race finishers to digitally celebrate and share their achievements, we've decided to build RunPage - a new forum for doing just this!
Mobilize and Socialize
Running is now a social activity. If you aren't doing it already, its time to socialize your running game.
So how can you get started?
"That which does not kill us, makes us stronger." - Friedrich Nietzsche
Apparently Nietzsche got something right: overcoming challenges does make you stronger. Scientists and psychologists have conducted studies that prove austerity increases strength, and adaptability.
The race training process is a perfect example of how challenges push us to our limits, and ultimately make us tougher and durable.
But to any one who has run in any race, from a 5K to a Full Marathon already know this to be true,
Running is hard. Building up stamina and endurance is hard. Running 11 miles in February may not be the most fun activity. But what not all runners realize, is that the challenge actually improves the entire running experience. The higher the goal, the higher the reward. More so than that, without any difficulty, the running experience is less meaningful and a lot less enjoyable.

Next we have me and Aunt Pat. She is my bestest friend in the whole wide world and I have to talk to her every day or we both go into withdrawals. We don't talk about anything in particular, but that doesn't matter.
I wanted to take a Mother's Day picture with my 2 handsome little boys, but Anthony refused. Joey was more than happy to pose with me. He is the more affectionate of the 2, but I know Anthony loves his momma too.
I hope yall had a wonderful Mother's Day and are having a wonderful week. We're going to Memphis this weekend to Mike & Gina's wedding, then staying with Ashley & Keith on the way home, so it may be a few days before I'm back online. Don't miss me too much!

Lindsay was reading Through The Looking Glass, and telling me "This is so fucked up - Alice in Wonderland is just stupid, but this book is different - Lewis Carroll had such a strange mind." I was writing a story on small pieces of paper and little notepads. I was checking into a plush hotel with gold counters and a marble floor, and a bored-looking, suspicious clerk told me that he had to transcribe my story notes to process my payment. I was afraid he would read my descriptions of a sunset and think that I was stupid.
When I left the hotel I got on a bus which drove all the way through the city centre and out towards the suburbs where I lived. The city was a strange mixture of many cities I've been in - London, Amsterdam, Dublin, Paris, crowded with buildings and traffic and people, the offices and churches and hotels leaning into the street and blocking out the sunlight. I looked out of the window and saw a gigantic bendy three-sectioned double decker bus trying to turn a corner at a busy intersection. It was full of kids yelling, but I don't think they were scared. They were on a school trip. I noticed that Lindsay's ex-boyfriend Misa was on the bus with me, and I sat down next to him and we talked. I feel a lot of warmth towards Misa in the dream, and I think it must be because in my subconscious mind he's become confused with an old friend of mine called Stephanos who looks very similar. I went past my stop so that I could get off the bus with Misa and walk part of the way home with him. I thought "Lindsay is going to think this is really strange!". I asked him which way he lived, and he pointed up over the top of a distant hill that looked like a scene out of Myst - there was a futuristic observatory surrounded by small trees, and the sun was shining off the glass. I knew I was going to end up going there, and I hoped I'd be able to find my way back home again.

Several weeks ago an upcoming app caught my attention on Kickstarter, and before I'd even finished scanning the project page or watching the video, I was hooked and decided to back it.
The purpose of this app is for lack of a better word, brilliant– using your existing smartphone camera (right now only the iPhone version exists), you are tasked with recording one second of everyday of your life, and the app will sort it into a video you can playback at a later time.
I already use my phone to take pictures of random things almost everyday, so finally having a resource that organizes some of the memories into an easy to play format intrigued me.
My life isn't so exciting that something awesome happens every single day, but that's not really the point of this app. The point is to create a log of those moments that are often overlooked or forgotten about, and for the big important ones too.
You might be wondering why I'm just now taking the time to write about this awesome app, or why I didn't think of mentioning it while their Kickstarter campaign was going on, and those are both valid questions.
I'm not sure why I didn't share this upcoming app weeks ago, but a recent backer update informed me that the App Store has finally approved the finished version, and it will be ready to download in just a few short days.
If you missed out on backing this one, don't worry, because once it goes live in the App Store, you can purchase it and start your own videojournal project, too. (And the best part is for a very limited time they are giving this app away for free.)
I'm not sure exactly how my videos are going to turn out, or what memories they'll make me remember when I look back on them, but I'm excited to see what the future brings, and how setting a goal (and sticking to it) of recording one second of everyday will make an impact on me.
With several of my friends currently expecting new additions to their families, I've set reminders for myself to share this app with them as well, so they can document the new babies and all of those moments you hear new moms talk about wishing they had been able to record and share, or just reflect upon later.
Have you used any apps that are similar to this one, or found apps out there that have made a difference in you daily activities?

Analysis on "Eagle" by Lord Alfred Tennyson
Alfred, Lord Tennyson employs the animal eagle into his poem to symbolize men with power and authority. In Line 1 he writes 'He claps the crag with crooked hands' the sentence focuses on the micro movements of an eagle as it grasps onto the cliff, and make use of alliteration in order to display the eagerness and fierceness of an eagle by applying strong, solid, hard accent words such as 'clasp', 'crag' and 'crooked'. Behind this sentence it illustrates the power of an mighty man with its aggressive inner-self, where he has the ability to strive for what he wants. But on the other hand, it also symbolizes an old weary men, putting in all his effort in order to clench on what he truly treasures, in this case is companionship.
However in the next sentence, Line 2 'Close to the sun in lonely lands' a juxtaposition is used to show how the eagle is elevated high above, near the sun but underneath it are dead lands. This symbolizes that the almighty, famous men often live lonely lives, even though they own authorities and admirations, deep within they are barren and isolated emotionally. With the symbol of an eagle in the poem, Alfred longs to convey the message that fame means nothing, but it will eventually tore men away from the reality world and away from true companionship.
An effective use of imagery is displayed through the detailed descriptions of the natural environment surrounding the eagle, which is crafted to the eagle's personality of majesty and nobility. He first introduced the eagle by describing the rough mountain walls using strong solid words such as 'clasps', 'crag' and 'crooked'. Together it created a...

text: Two of my 12 buckeye hens have bare spots in the saddle area, and one has a bare spot on her neck. The roos are long gone. I have spent hours watching them in the run (24'X24') and haven't caught anyone in the act. So how can I determine who the offender is? I don't really want to trim every beak or try to put peepers on all of them. They are finishing their moult and have recovered from the rooster damage but now loosing to other hens. Thanks, mrkep

Joy RideThursday, August 30, 2007
Posted by tacogirl
Spent they day joy-riding with Paul, Dick, Cindy and Molly. We all had a blast. Dick is on a mission to find a boat so after our ride north, we got to go all around the lagoon area looking at boats.
Back at Dick and Carole's now. Dick and I shopped and prepped while the 2 Pauls did some things they needed too. We are about to go and pick them up for dinner.
Diner was great we watched a funny movie after and Cindy joined us after work.

Her dusky tresses no longer befuddled the furtive men of day or the hungry men of night.
Yusef pondered the meaning of this, dumb with drink, wordless Truth easing into the Beyond even as he tried to grasp its silky threads with his slipping mind, a man whose hour has passed without his knowing awaking to his infinite solitude.
He had oft known victory in that moment when her astral locks curtained the world and the hunted knew not the comfort of light and the hunter stalked not yet through true dark; that time of the trysting of the planes when those who toiled and despoiled knew pause, when all men save fools, dreamers and Yusef of the Knife waned, equally ill at ease.
Her crooked blessing withdrawn and her glow of allure sung in silent, stardust notes, Yusef felt the curse laid upon him with her love, felt the hunger in his belly, the loneliness in his heart, the power of his enemy, towering in glowering mirth, thirsty beneath his fork-bearded grin for his blood and covetous too of his aforetime lucky head to dress the prow of his miserable dhow.
Fool Yusef, bringer of a knife to an axe dance—good as cleaved already as I reel on wine-sodden legs.
Her demand that he prove himself in the coal-glow stained night while she luxuriated in dazzling milk-white light among the twinkling specks of the sea-bottom blue heavens, brought a deep, fatalistic stroke against the muted gong that was his mind's ear.
He would not slink away like a mere rat.
Yusef of the Dusk, Yusef of the many soft bottoms conquered in the silken shadows as killers shod in steel, honed their cleaving craft on fields afar, had been caught foolishly jesting and bloody-handed in the path of a mighty night, floundering in the bloody afar. With a graceless grunt the luck-run man of the shadows resigned himself to dark Death, wanting only to soar above and beyond this sea-stroked stain on the stony void he was born to—free to kiss oblivion.
But he could not give in, give up or give over. Too much ego, too much bravado—feigned until it had become him—strained at his desire to sink into the sky above, containing him, corralling what it was to be him, to be Yusef, until the being was too close, too constrained, too snarling mad to be restrained.
The Varangian, forked beard sweeping double mail, ember eyes smoldering in steel-rimmed sockets, drooling wine as he hefted axe, the wicked beard of steel hanging like the man-reaping tool of some jealous god in the night sky—her radiance aflow from its sheening arc—snarled in his animal language, easily as drunk as Yusef and spoke a single word that invoked the bear of the Atlas Yusef had slain while running like a clip-winged vulture from those blue-skinned devils…
The muzzle-frothing bark of the steel-cloaked bear was lost in the savage ululation of some deranged creature, with something of the wolf, the jackal, and the hyena about it, all twanging discordantly from the same besotted throat, sounded shrilly as Yusef charged.
No footman charges the Cleaving Men and lives.
No footman am I. I am the proud rider, the stable creeper and canal leaper. My horse, where is my faithful horse?
I have no horse, so must be dead. Yet I move!
This fool, flying to his doom, cannot be Yusef, the slacker by the heat of day, dagger through the tendrils of dusk, dancer through the soft night?
Who is this hyena of a fool hurrying into the arc of the reaping axe?
They called him Yusef for a time—now the kites call him breakfast.
As the devil-bearded fiend brought his steel beard streaking down, Yusef sprinted on tiptoe, howling, across the few paces of terrible ground, his shamashar braced against the inevitable mighty blow, his wicked, sharp dagger of a needle point braced against his own breast as he made of himself an arrow and sped toward that enemy chest, intent only on that grunting, heaving, cleaving heathen.
Norse bark and mongrel howl melted together as the shamashar shattered, the wrist supporting the hand holding it snapped, the muscular rear end that had propelled Yusef through the devilish arc received a terrible chop that nearly relieved him of his mansack from behind—and he was in, half-butted but inside the giant's guard—the links of mail parting like soft thighs and bursting like wine bubbles as he crashed into the wall of a man, pinned himself to him, and drove his hairy, steeled form back into the surf like a felled palm.
They hit the rock-cushioning surf and sunk to the giant's shoulders, chin to chin, beard to beard, nose to nose, eye to eye, and he who had fallen uppermost in this drunken dance of death-dealing fools remained arrogant to the last, even as his mind swam and the Dark One emerged to engulf him, Yusef snarled, wine-red lips dripping sardonically, "Choked on this food, did you, Lord Axe?"
The dying of the big man was not his to savor, forever curtained by the descending hand of darkness from his petty view.

Histone H2B Peptide
Catalog number
Histone H2B Peptide
1 mg
SOURCE: Synthetic PURITY: ≥ 98% by HPLC MOLECULAR WEIGHT: ~ 2.12 kDa FORM: Lyophilized powder FORMULATION: Peptide was dissolved in distilled water at 1 mg/ml and re-lyophilized to powder form. RECONSTITUTION: Centrifuge the vial prior to opening. Reconstitute 1 mg/ml in dH2O. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Store at -20°C for 6 months. For use with BioVision assays K334-100, K336-100 or K346-100, reconstitute H2B peptide in assay buffer at 20 mg/ml concentration and use 2 µl/assay. AMINO ACID SEQUENCE: PEPSKSAPAPKKGSKKAITKA KEY APPLICATIONS: The suggested applications include usage as a substrate for histone modified enzymes, HAT assays (K334-100, K336-100, K346-100), Immunoprecipitation, affinity precipitation, etc.
Histones are basic nuclear proteins that are responsible for the nucleosome structure of the chromosomal fiber in eukaryotes. Nucleosomes consist of approximately 146 bp of DNA wrapped around a histone octamer composed of pairs of each of the four core histones (H2A, H2B, H3, and H4). The chromatin fiber is further compacted through the interaction of a linker histone, H1, with the DNA between the nucleosomes to form higher order chromatin structures. This gene is intronless and encodes a member of the histone H2B family. Transcripts from this gene contain a palindromic termination element. This synthetic peptide covers 1-21 amino acids of the protein.
Storage condition
Shipping condition
