Finding the materials for this project was quite a hunt. To power EL wire, or electro luminescent wire you need a driver. There are some small drivers out there, but I needed to find one that could power enough feet of wire and be small enough to fit inside a tube with a 1 inch outer diameter.
-a length of polyethylene irrigation tubing with an outer diameter of 1 inch for the hoop. I think I used about 9 feet. I use PSI 100 weight
-a connector for the tube
-heat gun
-heat shrink tubing
-soldering iron and solder
-electrical tape
-black gaffer tape
-hand held power drill
-bubble wrap
-wire cutters and wire strippers
-RC-2KN 12 Volt 2000hz driver for 3-15' of wire (It searched everywhere to find the smallest, most powerful driver I could find and I found the one I used here)
-8 single AA battery holders and batteries
-2 15 foot lengths of EL wire. If you make a bigger or smaller hoop you might need less or more. It comes in different thicknesses, I think mine was just general purpose. Don't get too thin or delicate wire, or it will break when you use it.
A voltmeter was also very helpful for this project

New this month Continuity mistake: When the Beast shows Belle to her room and then says she will join him for dinner before shutting the door, Belle is wearing her cloak. She's still wearing it when she runs over to the bed, kneels down and starts crying. When we see her again (after the Gaston scene which is in-between), she's no longer wearing the cloak, and she couldn't have removed it at any point because her position next to the bed hasn't changed since she started crying and she doesn't move again until Mrs Potts taps on the door to offer her a cup of tea.
Continuity mistake: In the 'Gaston' song sequence, near the end, Gaston is sitting in his huge antler chair with Lefou. In the wide shot, there is a bear rug behind the chair. The camera does a close up of Gaston, then in the next wide shot, the chair is on top of the bear rug. Also, after this, Gaston gets up off of the chair and in the next shot, both the chair and the rug disappear completely.
Continuity mistake: Belle opens the door outward so Gaston falls out, but after she throws his shoes at him, she slams it shut from the inside.
Continuity mistake: When Belle is taking her book back in a basket at the start of the film, its colour changes from red to blue, back to red, then purple in the book shop owner's hand, then finally red on the shelf.
Continuity mistake: In the scene after the wolf attack, Belle is trying to put a cloth to the Beast's wounds, and they then shout at each other. When the Beast yells "Well you shouldn't have been in the West Wing," you can see that he has three slashes on his arm. Then when Belle puts the cloth on the wounds, there are suddenly four slashes.
Continuity mistake: At the end of the movie, Belle shows the Mirror to Gaston and the other people in the village. She's wearing a white apron over her blue dress. When Gaston takes the mirror from her, the apron is gone. A few seconds later, it's back.
Continuity mistake: When Gaston has his feet on the table, the amount of mud on the book and tablecloth changes between shots.
Continuity mistake: After the wolf attack, it fades to a shot of Belle who is pouring hot water out of Mrs. Potts, into a bowl. In this shot Belle is kneeling on the large white decorative design embroidered on the large red rug, and the little bowl also sits on the design too. Then when it cuts, Belle is suddenly kneeling on the red part of the rug and the bowl sits on the red part too, and the Beasts chair is now sitting atop the large white design.
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Gaston proposes to Belle, Belle crosses in front of a mirror, and she has no reflection. A second later, Gaston crosses in front of it, and he does have a reflection.
Continuity mistake: When Gastons mob throw Belle and Maurice into the cellar, Belle then tries to wedge open the window with a long wooden pole. She fails, then turns to Maurice, leaving the pole sticking out and laying on the windowsill. Then when the shot changes and the camera pans to Chip looking through the window, the wooden pole has gone.
Continuity mistake: When Gaston comes in to propose to Belle, his boots are clean until he puts them up on the table, then suddenly they're covered with mud.
Continuity mistake: In the newer version of the film, there has been a new song called "Human Again" added. When standing at the foot of the stairs, Cogsworth replaces a cog in himself, opening his door, with the hinges on his right. All the other times he opens it though, the hinges are on the left.
Continuity mistake: When Gaston comes in to propose to Belle, he sits in the chair and kicks of his boots etc., and between shots there's a bellows hanging by the fireplace which keeps disappearing and reappearing.
Continuity mistake: At the end of the song "Belle", there's an overhead shot in which you can tell that there is no mud on the street in front of Belle. Then a few seconds later, there is a big puddle of mud, and Gaston throws her book into it.
Continuity mistake: When Belle won't come out for dinner, the Beast storms off, slamming the door, so that bits of plaster fall from the roof, onto Lumiere, all over the floor. However in the final overhead shot of this scene, the plaster has vanished from the floor.
Continuity mistake: In the scene after Gaston proposes to Belle, Belle walks out of the door and then to the barn. As she passes the cellar doors, saying "...Me. The wife of that borish, brainless...", you can see that there is a small window either side of the cellar doors. However, later on into the film, when Maurice and Belle are trapped in the cellar, Chip gets Maurices invention to work. Then, as the machine hurtles towards the cellar doors, the small window on the left side of the cellar doors has vanished!
Continuity mistake: When Belle climbs the ladder in the bookshop, at the top of the ladder there is a very large space with no rung in it. Seconds later, when Belle slides the ladder across, a rung has appeared in the space.
Continuity mistake: In the shot of Belle reading her book in her house, the spout of the black kettle on one of the shelves is not visible. In the following scene, when Gaston is talking to Belle with his feet on the table, the spout is visible.
Continuity mistake: When Gaston proposes marriage to Belle, there is a thick pink cushion on his chair. But when Gaston sits on it and puts his feet on the table, the cushion is much thinner, and it is now red.
Continuity mistake: The amount of snow on the stairs of Belle's house constantly changes in the scene where the villagers try to take away her father.

Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease, dysmyelination, leukodystrophy
A 3-year-old male was presented with complaints of delayed milestones, language impairment, gradually increasing spasticity, difficulty in swallowing, and abnormal movements. Patient was a product of non-consanguineous marriage, born by normal vaginal delivery with no significant antenatal, intranatal, and immediate postnatal events. Patient was the youngest of eight siblings, of which six female siblings were healthy, normal, and growing appropriately for age, but one male sibling died of similar complaints at around 5 years of age. Parents noticed some abnormal jerky movements of eyes starting from second month of life. His milestones were delayed and he was not able to support his head by the age 6 months and he never achieved sitting or standing without support but he was able to sit with support. He also had stridor, difficulty in swallowing, language impairment, and tonic-clonic convulsions and he was being managed with a diagnosis of cerebral palsy and was referred to our centre for further management. On detailed physical and neurological examination, patient was having pendular nystagmus, stridor, spastic quadriparesis, hyper-reflexia, and positive Babinski sign. Palatal and gag reflexes were weak with some difficulty in swallowing and global developmental delay. During hospital stay, he had 2 episodes of tonic-clonic convulsions which subsided with antiepileptics. His routine haematological investigations and chest X-ray were within normal limits. Auditory and visual evoked potentials were normal. MRI brain imaging revealed diffuse and symmetric T2 and flair high signal intensity throughout the bilateral cerebral white matter, genu of corpus callosum and subcortical U fibres along with tigroid pattern within the corona radiate (Figures 1-2). On the basis of these clinical and imaging findings diagnosis of Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease (PMD) was made and treatment with antiepileptics, antispastic medications, and physiotherapy was started to reduce spasticity and convulsions.
Fig.1 - T2-weighted image showing diffuse hyperintensity throughout cerebral white matter.
Fig.2 - Flair image showing hyperintensity involving bilateral cerebral white matter, corpus callosum, and subcortical U fibres.
Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease (PMD), a rare dysmyelinating disorder affecting white matter, was first described by Pelizaeus in 1885 and Merzbacher in 1910. (1) Clinical presentation of PMD varies widely, depending primarily on the nature of causative mutation, and to a certain extent, on other genetic and environmental influences. (2) PMD is a dysmyelinating leukodystrophy in contrast to other leukodystrophies like metachromatic leukodystrophy, adrenoleukodystrophy and multiple sclerosis, which are demyelinating disorders. In demyelinating disorders, myelin is formed, deposited around the axons and then destroyed later; while in dysmyelinating disorders normal myelination does not occur. (3) Most of the PMD cases have an identifiable mutation in PLP1 containing region of the X chromosome (Xq22), which could be duplications (60-70%), or point mutations resulting in base substitutions, insertions, or deletions (15-20%). This region encodes a major central nervous system (CNS) myelin protein, PLP1, which constitutes about 50% of the white matter mass, and is abundantly expressed in oligodendrocytes. (4) PMD typically affects males but sometimes female heterozygotes can be clinically affected, especially those who carry alleles that are relatively mild in males, as these mutations do not cause apoptosis of the affected oligodendrocytes. In this case also elder male sibling died of same disease at the age of about 5 years while other six female siblings were normal, supporting the possibility of X-inked recessive disorder.
Classic PMD usually presents with infantile-onset nystagmus, weakness, developmental delay followed by development of ataxia, spasticity, involuntary movements, and cognitive delay. Most patients never ambulate, although some language skills may be acquired and survival into the sixth decade is not unusual. On the opposite end, the more severe variant connatal PMD presents in neonatal period or early infancy. It is characterized by nystagmus beginning within the first week or two of life, stridor, respiratory difficulty, and hypotonia. Sometimes, hypotonia may be severe enough to be misdiagnosed as spinal muscular atrophy, however severe spasticity later replaces hypotonia. These patients also have failure to thrive, significantly delayed motor milestones, limited language skills, even seizures and death often occurs during the first decade of life, typically due to respiratory complications. (4,5) Our case was also being treated as spastic cerebral palsy for a long time which finally diagnosed as a case of PMD on brain MRI study as also reported previously. (6) MRI, the most useful imaging study, can demonstrate symmetric and widespread abnormality of the white matter of cerebrum, brain stem, and cerebellum, typically evident as hyperintensity on T2-weighted and hypointensity on T1-weighted images, which can be either diffuse or patchy. Additionally, the absolute volume of white matter can also be reduced, especially in connatal PMD. (7) Definitive diagnosis can only be made by molecular testing by detecting PLP1 gene mutations.
Presently, there is no specific treatment for PMD and treatment is limited to supportive care including physiotherapy and antispasticity medications including intrathecal baclofen. Correct posture and seating can help minimize joint contractures, dislocations, and kyphoscoliosis.

Thread: Temporary Alternative when no Tmobile coverage?
09-26-2012, 11:44 AM #1Temporary Alternative when no Tmobile coverage?
Ok, so I have an unlocked 4s i use with Tmobile here in Charlotte, NC.
I also like to deer hunt and bird hunt up on the mountain counties (Western NC). And there, I have zero tmobile service....it's annoying, and frankly if anything ever happened to me while hunting alone I couldn't' even call for help.
What I'm wondering is: is there a prepaid company out there that uses a sim chip that would work in my phone and give me potential coverage just while I'm hunting? The main network that DOES work in that area is Verizon. I'm not sure about Sprint.
I have heard that these little prepaid phones use the other carriers networks, but is it possible for a sim chip using phone to access the network of a non-sim chip carrier (like verizon?).
Thanks for any suggestions.
Dose AT&T have service there? If so buy a prepaid phone from Walmart. Cut the sim down and every time you go hunting switch to AT&T.
If not maybe a prepaid Verizon would work.
Yea, I can def get a prepaid verizon...i was just hoping to somehow still use my iPhone....not sure about AT&T working there, but if it did, it seems that my tmobile would switch over to AT&T (it's used that network before in other places when tmobile isn't there.)

An NBA lockout doesn't stop Kevin Durant from tearing up the summer leagues across the nation. Whether it be the Drew League, the Goodman, and now Rucker Park; "The Durantula" is showing people what it means to be the scoring champ.
Just watch these four straight possessions from last night's EBC where Durant just drains four 25+ ft 3-pointers for the DC Power. The crowd gets crazier after each bucket.

Summit County's Yeti Beti clinic features women teaching women mountain biking skills
August 19, 2013
It's all things bike in Breckenridge these days, from the festivities of Bike Week to various local races to the USA Pro Challenge itself, there's no doubt that bicycles are currently the big man on campus up here in the High Country.
One of the most notable aspects of biking is its reach across all age groups, from little tykes on no-pedal Strider bikes and young hotshot athletes to older people out for a leisurely pedal, bikers come in all shapes and sizes.
Those stopping by the Blue River Plaza on Thursday or Friday morning may have noticed a gathering of bikers with two things in common — all had mountain bikes, and all were women.
Members of Team Yeti Beti, a local group of female mountain bike racers, offered a free women-only mountain bike skills course. The sessions, based on the Beti AllRide Clinic, which was held earlier in the summer in Keystone. Bikers of all levels, from beginner to advanced, were accepted.
"It's just really cool to get women into the sport," said Cat Ambrose, Yeti Beti team member who led the clinic.
On the first day, around 10 mountain biking hopefuls showed up, most of them at the beginner level and two having never done any type of mountain biking before. Ambrose took the participants over the basics of mountain biking — gear shifting, brakes, stance on the bike, etc.
"It was (all about) making sure all the fundamentals were there," she said.
What she really enjoyed seeing was the range of ages of participants, which included several 20-year-olds as well as several women in their 50s and 60s.
After going over the basics, Ambrose took the women to the pump track near the Breckenridge ice rink, putting them through their paces with the obstacles. Once she was sure of their confidence, they rode up to Boreas Pass and came down Moonstone Road — the very road that the USA Pro Challenge cyclists will be making their way up during the King of the Mountain climb challenge next week.
"They all made it down," Ambrose said with pride. "When they got to the bottom I told them, 'great job guys, you made it down an advanced run!'"
The second day showed a rider range of ability levels, with several Summit County residents with more experienced mixed in with a few out-of-town visitors closer to the beginner and intermediate levels.
Erin Hanlon, who lives in Breckenridge, said she liked the idea of "riding with some girls, because generally it's by myself or a bunch of guys." Hanlon added that while she's clear on the fundamentals of mountain biking, she attended the clinic in order to pick up some advanced tips and tricks to help her out on the trail.
From the other end of the spectrum, Shannon Thomarie is visiting from New York and has only owned her mountain bike for a short time. Although her husband rides, she said she preferred to learn the skills from women instructors.
That's the idea behind Yeti Beti, Ambrose explained.
"A lot of women get into (mountain biking) with a significant other, and I think that women really approach sports differently than men, so its' really nice to have an environment that's just focused on women and how we learn, esp in a sport like mountain biking that can be really intimidating," she said. "(We show) how to overcome that and how to just embrace that and turn that little bit of apprehension and fear into excitement and more adrenaline and really embrace it and have fun with it. I think that women teaching women does a much better job with that."
While Friday's advanced riders broke off with Ambrose's teammate, Ambrose took the fledgling mountain bikers under her wing.
Along the winding Blue River bike trail, Ambrose stopped every so often along the way to relay another bit of mountain biking wisdom, from how to best hit the brakes in loose gravel to the importance of keeping one's eyes always ahead, and not on any obstacle directly in front.
The result — the riders successfully navigated the dirt path along the river, crossing over bumpy rocks, bridges and around tight turns. Ambrose shared the role of instructor and cheerleader, encouraging riders and praising each accomplishment.
Ambrose said she thoroughly enjoys teaching the workshops and looks forward to them coming back next summer. If she can get just a few more women excited about mountain biking, then she's done her job.
"The real goal is certainly to make lifelong mountain bikers out of this, women that really love the sport," she said, "and also to really showcase Breckenridge and the trails and what a bike friendly community it is."

Gone are the dusty DVDs of yore, replaced by a 600-channel* Roku®-powered streaming projector from 3M that fits in the palm of your hand. Yep. In your hand. It's the key to upgrading your movie night; read on for some more tips on how to blow out your screening of Blow Out.Theme"Want to come over and watch a movie?" sounds about as enticing as "Want to come over and reorganize my sock drawer?" How about "Goonies theme night at my place — costumes optional!" That sounds like a good time (just stop for a sec and ponder your roommate dressed as Ma Fratelli). The Instagrammic possibilities are endless, as are the hysterics when "your" character makes an appearance in the film.MenuSome movie theaters have adopted this trend, and, no wonder — attention to detail makes your event memorable. Anything that is consumed in the film (please except the horror genre, Rocky, and most of John Waters' films) can be served. Some examples:AdvertisementAdvertisementMerlot with a side of existential crisis (Sideways)Fava beans and Chianti, hold the human flesh (Silence of the Lambs)Peking duck (A Christmas Story)Whole fried chickens and dry white toast (Blues Brothers)And don't forget the popcorn.SetupObviously, the best way to view a movie at home is to project it. The 3M™ Streaming Projector Powered by Roku® is a projector so unobtrusive that no furniture re-arranging will be necessary. (Well, not for the projector's sake, anyway.) And the Roku stick that fits right inside the unit will give you access to any movie found on Netflix, Hulu PLUS, Amazon Instant Video, and any other streaming service available via Wi-Fi. Project up to 120" across with DLP® Digital Cinema technology. It connects to any device via HDMI port, and runs for 2.5 hours on a single charge.SeatingWhen the lights go down, your guests will want to get comfy. And if everyone on your invite list isn't a) related or b) intimately involved, you'll need to create as much seating as possible. No one wants to crowd onto a loveseat with a stranger or perch on a barstool for 2+ hours. Populate your floor with bean bags, oversized pillows, yoga mats, rugs. Soft and reclinable is the idea.GamesIf you so desire, games related to your film can be more sophisticated than, "Every time [insert character name here] says [insert catchphrase here], drink!" Before you dim the lights and set up the streaming projector, play a round of [insert film here] trivia that you've prepared prior to the screening. The more obscure, the better — film nerds get really excited when they can publicly lord over others the fact that they are familiar with the lighting designer's oeuvre. For games to play during the film, whip up some bingo cards with catchphrases, characters, props, song motifs — even types of shots — and pass those babies out to each guest. Winners get movie-themed prizes.SponsoredLearn all about the 3M™ Streaming Projector Powered by Roku®, and start planning your movie night!*Membership may be required for some channels.

These are sold on ebay every day for this price. And this one is suitable only for small dogs or cats.
for marmaduke ...hose reel and chain
Don't buy this... It's pure junk, it broke after 1st use, made of crappy materials and workmanship. Save your 3 bucks!!!
These should come built in when you purchase a new dog.
I personally don't trust the the non-flexi models. All the cheapos I have seen use a thin string where as the flexi uses a braided line for extra strength. My puppy destroyed one from all the pulling, but that was the teeth inside the retracting mechanism, not the line. The flexi is only $10 more, so what's your dog's life worth?
I second the Flexi recommendation.
I even went through 2 "tape" style from local purchases before I decided it was time to buy the real thing.
The Flexi cord looks so thin and flimsy, but it holds up.
I have an "exuberant" 75 pound young lab that breaks cords and strips gears of lesser retractable leashes. Flexi holds up.
Flexi FTW!

"Super nice pad"
I already owned an endurance cut Diamond Wool pad so I was ecstatic to see that they had one cut for an Aussie. Super nice quality, soft and will last for years. You can't find them for less than what Jeffers asks for them, and they were the only ones I could find who had it in stock and ready to ship. Had it in just a few days. Thanks Jeffers!
"Good quality"
Received my new saddle pad yesterday and I'm extremely pleased with the quality of this pad. Even better than the photo shows. It is a darker gray than the detail shows as well, looking great with my black saddle. Perfect! Thank you very much.
"Need another"
Came back here to order a second pad for my wife, surprised to see a lower price. Darker gray, more like black, and nicer than the photo. An excellent buy.
"Heavy duty, but supple"
Very nicely made, fits my saddle, though the sides are a bit longer than my particular saddle requires (kimberley stock). It is rugged, but not hard at all. I'm really surprised at the quality; it is definitely worth the price. I just got it, but already prefer it to my other, $75 pad. One note, mine came as a charcoal gray, I'd call it black, but I actually like it a lot better than the pictured one.

Origin: United States
Main instrument: Acoustic guitar/electric guitar
Genres: R&B/Soul/Funk, Rock
Texas-born soul man Joe Lewis grew up more interested in sports than music, never paying much mind to the soul music his father played around the house. At 19, Lewis took an interest in guitars after getting a job working in a pawn shop, and pushed his curiosity further by teaching himself to play. Encouraged by friends, Lewis soon played at various open-mic nights around Austin, belting out improvised lyrics as he went along, an unconventional method he still uses today. Lewis' raw talents as a soul singer and stage performer soon got him noticed, and in 2007 Black Joe Lewis and The Honeybears released their self-titled debut album. A growing buzz surrounding their SXSW show provided a record deal with Lost Highway, and the release of Tell 'Em What Your Name Is in 2009.

If you're a hedge fund manager, 2013 has not been kind to you. A recent analysis conducted by Goldman Sachs shows that the typical hedge fund has returned just 4 percent this year through August 9 — pretty much anemic compared to the 20 percent return on the S&P 500 (including dividends). Last year wasn't quite as bad — an 8 percent return for hedge funds compared to a 16 percent total return for the S&P 500 — but the time-tested message is clear: hedging produces underwhelming results during long market rallies.
Hedge funds typically try to compensate for possible losses on long positions by taking counter-balancing short positions. This strategy can produce superior results during periods of market uncertainty when equity valuations are volatile. However, thanks in no small part to the easy-money policy adopted by the U.S. Federal Reserves, stock valuations have pretty much done nothing but go up since the financial crisis. This has heaped rewards on those with long positions, and punished those with aggressive short positions, including many hedge funds.
The Goldman Sachs report shows that fewer than 5 percent of hedge funds have managed to outperform the S&P 500 this year to date, and 25 of them have actually posted losses. So what are some short positions that have gotten hedge funds in trouble?

The implementation of an NDO involves a high degree of neighborhood involvement, beginning with the formation of a Neighborhood Committee that will be responsible for much of the groundwork necessary for the filing of an application. Depending upon the details of the proposal , this work may include:
Ordinance 3719, a PowerPoint presentation highlighting the major points of the ordinance, and the NDO instruction manual can be downloaded from this website. The special equipment necessary for taking the required measurements is available for loan from the City. Neighborhood representatives interested in discussing the NDO rezoning process should contact the Development Services Department to schedule a pre-submittal conference.

He's not typical at all. If he can get healthy and stay that way he'll rewrite the record book for TE's.
As for the topic at hand, the Ravens versus the Pats as a dynasty, that is still open as far as the 2010's go, but the Ravens are clearly in the lead. Here's the list of recorded dynasties that I think most people would agree with, at least for the SB era.
60's Packers
70's Steelers
80's Niners
90's Cowboys
00's Patriots
10's TBD
Btw, there's a good chance that all of those teams, with the possible exception of the Packers, have been fined for cheating.
But you're OK with the Steelers being the most heavliy steroid-induced team ever to win Super Bowls. Hell, half those players are dead because of their illegal drug use.
Or the 49ers and Broncos getting fined and losing draft picks for circumventing the salary cap to sign star players in order to win Super Bowls?
Yep, taping from the wrong spot is a far more serious violation than what those teams did.
Baltimore's O is good, but the defense is one of the oldest in the league.
I just love watching the demise of the Pats, since 2008 Brady is not even in the discussion of most playoff wins by a QB...👍

General Purpose Corded Handheld Linear Imager Bar Code Reader
The QuickScan reader series is Datalogic ADC's value line of general purpose handheld data collection products. The QuickScan I QD2100 linear imaging reader is an entry level product that is perfect for use in retail and office environments plus activities associated with couriers and postal services.
The QD2100 is small, lightweight and its ergonomic design is comfortable to use during daily operations. It offers snappy reading performance especially on hard to read bar codes and is capable of reading a wide range of symbologies including the majority of 1D codes plus GS1 DataBar™ linear codes. The QD2100 reader features Datalogic's exclusive patented 'Green Spot' for good read feedback directly on the code. When in Stand Mode, the Green Spot remains on to show the operator where to position the code for quick and intuitive reading.
Like the QuickScan L reader, the QD2100 has been designed with durability in mind. One of the most vulnerable features of any scanner is damage to the scan window. When such incidents happen, the scanner may have to be replaced. The QD2100 was specifically designed so that a replacement window pack can be ordered to replace damaged or scratched windows without having to send the scanner away for repairs. This helps to reduce the total cost of ownership during the life of the scanner and helps to ensure that it is always available for use.
The QD2100 is available with two multiinterface options: RS-232 / IBM 46XX / USB and RS-232 / USB / Keyboard Wedge / Wand and includes various packaging options so that it can be ordered as the scanner only or as a kit equipped with a scanner, cable and stand to facilitate hand-free reading options. The Datalogic Aladdin™ configuration program provides user-friendly features that simplify the start-up procedure, even for inexperienced users.

464 pages
July 2009, Wiley-Blackwell
The content is divided into five sections. The first introduces the reader to the concept of systems theory and its mathematical foundation. The second section provides the reader with a current view of periodontal medicine including the microbiology, molecular genetics, relationship to systemic disease and current and future therapies. Periodontitis is caused by members of the oral microbiota and the third section provides the reader with various views of the relationship of the microbiota to the host. The fourth section moves from the bacterium to the host and its immune responses to altered host: bacteria interactions. The final section deals specifically with bone destruction in periodontitis and brings the reader up-to-date with the current view of the control network that exists between mesenchymal cells such as osteoblasts, immune cells and osteoclast precursor cells that controls bone remodelling in health and disease.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- The key to running the ball effectively in the NFL is patience. The ability to fight off frustration. You run and you get very little. You run again and you lose yards. The temptation sets in to just junk the run game and start chucking the ball.
You watched the Saints-Lions game Saturday night and you're thinking that looks like a pretty sweet way to go. But you have to fight it. You have to stay patient, believing it will work. And the book -- albeit an old book, with frayed corners and yellow-edged pages, says you'll be rewarded.
The New York Giants are putting on a clinic in this sort of patience. For most of this season, they were the worst running team in the entire NFL. They finished the season ranked 32nd among 32 teams in rush yards per game at a miserable 89.2 yards per game. On the surface, they seemed to have morphed into a passing offense, with Eli Manning sailing past 4,000 yards again and Victor Cruz joining Hakeem Nicks to form a dangerous downfield wideout combo. But through it all, the Giants insisted they wanted to run the ball, insisted they still could. And at exactly the right time of the year, they are proving their stubborn, patient selves right.
"At this time of year, especially in the playoffs, that's got to be a strength," Giants left tackle David Diehl said in the wake of the Giants' 24-2 playoff victory over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. "Getting that run game going, keeping that opposing offense off the field and helping keep our great defensive line fresh. That's what we want to do, and today we did it."
Did they ever. The Giants rolled up 172 rushing yards against a Falcons defense that ranked sixth against the run in the regular season. That's the Giants' season high in rushing yards by 50 -- surpassing the 122 they got in a Week 6 victory over Buffalo and doing so on two fewer carries. They went to the run game because an aggressive Falcons pass rush was clobbering Manning early. But more importantly, they stuck with the run game even while it wasn't working. They didn't start breaking through until the final minutes of the first half, when Brandon Jacobs bounced out to the right for a 34-yard second-down scamper that set up the game's first touchdown. But once the Giants got going, they were on their way to their best rushing day of the season.
"I think numbers-wise, it will be," Giants coach Tom Coughlin said. "But it was a difficult time getting started. That first half was tough."
He could be talking about the game or the season. The Giants averaged 82.3 yards per game and 3.18 yards per carry in their first 11 games of this season. But over the last six games, starting with the Dec. 4 loss to next week's playoff opponent, the Green Bay Packers, they have averaged 115.7 yards per game and 4.42 yards per carry.
What changed?
"If I could tell you that, we would have done it 10 weeks ago," right tackle Kareem McKenzie said. "But obviously, it gets you in a better rhythm and also opens up a little bit what the offensive coordinator can do in terms of calling plays."
All true, but what's more important for the Giants is that their improved run game allows them to play the kind of physically dominating style of football that traditionally wins this time of year. With their defensive line fully healthy for the first time all season, they've been the dominant physical team on defense in each of their last three games. And now that the offensive line is opening holes in the run game so much more effectively than it was earlier in the season, they're able to do that more on the other side of the ball as well.
"Confidence, man," said running back Ahmad Bradshaw, who had 63 yards on his 14 carries while Jacobs carried 14 times for 92 yards. "We feel good about our running game, and we stick to it."
They felt confident all year, and stuck to it all year, even when it wasn't working. But things turned around when injuries forced the Giants to make changes on the offensive line. Starting left tackle Will Beatty had surgery on his eye in advance of the Week 12 game in New Orleans, forcing Diehl from left guard back to his old position of left tackle. They rushed for just 73 yards on 22 carries that night while the Saints were blowing them out, but they seemed to do better opening holes for Jacobs.
Over the next few games, the Giants got Bradshaw back from his foot injury but were forced to play without center David Baas. But Kevin Boothe and Mitch Petrus filled in well, and Boothe has remained in the lineup as Diehl's replacement at left guard. Whether Beatty was overmatched, whether Diehl has been energized by moving back to tackle (as he admitted to me last week he was), or whether Boothe is just a really good run-blocker, the combinations they've been using since the Beatty injury have been more effective than those that were in force for the majority of the season.
If we can get that run game going like we did in that second half, that opens up a lot of windows," Manning said. "For the passing game, it makes the safeties come down and get in the mix and we feel, with our receivers, we will be able to hit some big plays."
The big play Sunday was the 72-yard touchdown throw to Nicks, and had the Giants not been running the ball as well as they were, it may not have happened. When it was over, Coughlin spoke of "balance" in the offense and the importance of sticking with the run even when it's not working.
It's possible there's never been a better macro example of that than this year's Giants, whose running game could not have picked a better time to show up.

Vittorio Argento sits in an original Willys MB (Jeep) that he brought from Italy to the Willys-Overland factory site in Toledo. The vehicle was built on the site in 1943. One of the original smokestacks from the factory still stands on the site.

After spending the last seven decades in Italy, a World War II-era Jeep returned home to Toledo on Monday, 70 years to the day after it rolled off the production line.
Vittorio Argento, an Italian radio journalist and military vehicle enthusiast, shipped the carefully restored vehicle across the Atlantic Ocean, then drove it from New Jersey to Toledo, where he parked in the shadow of a Willys-Overland smokestack — the only remaining part of the factory complex that built about 650,000 of the famous military vehicles during World War II.
The exact military service of Mr. Argento's Jeep is lost to time, though he said it was shipped to Europe in 1943 and could have been used by American troops during the Allied invasion of Sicily in July, 1943. Though it can't be proven, he believes it saw combat duty.
When the GIs came home from Italy, the Jeep stayed behind. It was drafted into the service of the Italian army and later found its way to civilian life when a geologist purchased it as army surplus. Mr. Argento has owned it since 1984.

Through the years, he has restored it as closely as possible to its original condition. Mr. Argento guessed 95 percent of the parts on the Jeep are original. The canvass top and thin cushions that pad the hard metal seats are reproductions, but he has the originals safely packed away.
The idea for a homecoming hit Mr. Argento a couple of years ago. While working on the vehicle, he noticed the date stamped into the Willys data plate affixed to the dash: 6-3-43. Realizing the Jeep was nearing its 70th birthday, he thought, "Why not?"
Why not return to where it was built?
" 'Why not?' became 'yes,' " he said with a chuckle. "That's all."

It took about three weeks to ship the Jeep from Florence, Italy, to Newark. From there, Mr. Argento put in five days of driving to reach Toledo.
Though the Jeep is capable of topping out at about 60 miles per hour, Mr. Argento gives an amused head shake that says "absolutely not" to the prospect of going that fast. He said about 45 miles per hour is a good speed. All for the best, he joked, as it stops when it wants to, not when you hit the brakes.
"It's better off road," he said. "I'll show you what I mean."
Though the original factory was razed in 2006, the reclaimed industrial ground — rutted, rocky, and muddy — is perfect to quickly show off the Jeep's abilities.
As Mr. Argento eased his foot off the clutch, the Jeep crawled forward. It squeaked and rattled. Its gears whined loudly. The engine ran smoothly but sounded far more like a farm tractor than a car. And Mr. Argento couldn't have look happier as he guided the Jeep across the uneven terrain.
In Italy, and across Europe, many people still remember the Jeep as a vehicle that helped bring an end to the war.
Mr. Argento relayed a story told to him years ago by a man who worked as a mechanic before World War II. During the war, he lived in the mountains south of Florence. One day the man heard a roar outside his home. Along with other onlookers, he saw a strange car coming up the steep slope.
"If they can invent a car able to come up from that slope, for sure they will win the war," Mr. Argento remembered the man saying.
The Jeep — officially known as the Willys MB — was like nothing anyone had ever seen. The other tools of war — tanks, cannons, rifles, and soldiers — were common sights. But the Jeep was new and made a lasting impression. Even today, many people call any four-wheel drive, off-road ready vehicle a Jeep, he said.
"Everybody recalls the Jeep with pleasure, regardless that the Jeep was linked to something bad like war," he said.
Mr. Argento was met in Toledo by media, representatives from the city, and the Lucas County Port Authority, which owns the old Jeep site. He accepted small gifts of appreciation from Toledo Mayor Mike Bell and from Jim Tuschman, representing the Port Authority board of directors.
The Port Authority recently announced both the first new tenant for the 111-acre site, as well as groundbreaking on a new road.
"This marks the beginning of what we hope will be a fantastic economic development project for Toledo that will take place right here," Mr. Tuschman said. "Keep an eye on this site, you're going to see some very exciting things happen as the Overland project will take its place in Toledo's history as a rebirth of an economic development asset for the community."
Like any collectible, a restored Jeep is worth what someone's willing to pay. But Mr. Argento said a model like his typically would sell in the range of $15,000 to $20,000.
His will return to Italy, though he's not driving it back. A truck will pick up the vehicle and transport it back to New Jersey for the trip home.
Mr. Argento will drive something else back: A Toledo-built Wrangler.

Tomatoes with your Wine – What do you like? + a Bonus Story!
A quick little story before we head off to Portugal. Last night, Gabriella and I harvested our first tomatos from our rooftop garden. Well, in truth "garden" is a bit misleading, because it's more like rooftop "planter" or rooftop space. After being told that we need to find a new home, we've put all projects on hold. Rest assured that wherever we move next in Catalunya, we WILL have a grilling terrace and another garden! We were able to harvest 5 tomatoes last night, and we'll probably have about 10 or more in the coming weeks. Tossing them with some olive oil, sherry vinegar and S&P, we sat down with some grilled salmon and a wonderful Albariño. The tomatoes tasted incredible, regardless if it was because they were ours, and I have to say, the natural richness of the 3 yr old Albariño really paired well with both the salmon and the tomatoes. It's amazing how sweet a tomato can be when left to fully ripen on the vine.
I have a quick story of my grandpa and my first real tomato! I was probably only 5 years old when this happened and my recollection is a combination of other people's stories and blurred images infused with warm emotions. My grandparents lived in the country. Today that country is not so rural, but at the time, it was a house with a nice chunk of land and gardens all around it. Grandma and Grandpa were not very wealthy, but the land they owned – full of fresh produce, raspberry bushes and trees – today, feels like an estate I would gladly trade the world for. My story begins on one of those days that you spend at the grandparents so as to give your parents a much needed rest. Typically, these days would involve me following both my grandpa and grandma around, trying to keep there attention and help them with any little task they came up with. It was during one such day that my grandpa turned to me and said, "Ryan, today I'm going to show you how to eat a tomato." At the time, I probably thought he was a bit mad. I knew how to eat stuff, and at that age, I was probably eating everything I could get near my mouth. Growing up takes a lot of fuel!
What I can infer from my memories is that it was probably late summer when this occurred and the big Beefeater tomatoes were hanging heavy on the vines. I guess when I say big, I meant big in the same way everything seemed larger when you remember your childhood. Following my grandpa, we headed out into the rows of vegetables to find the suitable educational tool. Given the choice, I'm sure my eyes grew large and as I proceeded to pluck off a tomato that took both of my little hands to grasp. I do remember that it was enormous and redder than the any Crayola crayon, I'd ever drawn with. Walking back to the grassy exterior of the garden, I climbed up on my grandpa's lap within the folds of the old nylon webbed lawn chair. Grandpa magically produced a salt shaker from one of his many pockets, and proceded to tell me to take a lick of the tomato. Eager to please, I took a long lick and watched as grandpa sprinkled a little salt on it. Turning to him in curiosity, I distinctly remember him saying, "take a big bite out of it"! I opened my mouth wide and let the remaining baby teeth sink as far as I could into the sweet red flesh.
Looking back, I remember very little about what happened next. I'm sure I ended up with tomato guts dripping down my chin, coating both me and my grandpa's lap. I do remember being very happy, and I wouldn't doubt for a moment that I probably lobbied for another round after we finished off that first red monster. I can assure you though, that to this day, I love tomatoes. I really love tomatoes. Home grown, all the better. I love to watch them hang from their stems until they almost pull the plant to the floor and the red skin becomes so bright, it glows. I miss my grandpa from time to time, but the truth is, I never eat a fresh tomato without thinking of him. Some say eternal life is when others continue to hold your memory and share it. For me, that memory will never fade as long as I can grow a new plant each year.
So there's my story. And now I ask you. Do you have a tomato story? How about a favorite recipe? How about a wine to pair with tomatoes? Fresh ones are often hardest to find a match for. Enjoy the weekend, and for those of you with gardens growing, enjoy your tomatoes, I know I will!

Ryan's Notes:
- 2004 Adegas Valmiñor Albariño Rías Baixas O Rosal – Spain, Galicia, Rías Baixas (7/27/2007)
I was told last May that Albarino's shouldn't be drunk in the first 2-3 years. This was from some very prominent producers located in Galicia. I didn't believe them, until now. Probably not stored in the best of conditions, I bought this on closeout and I now wish I had bought more. Almost neon yellow, green in color the wine seems to have more in common with nuclear waste than wine at first. I have to say I was very happy when I stuck my nose in my glass to find a wine that came alive with minerals, light pineapple, mandarin oranges, white flowers, and limes. Wow, great start and the palate only got more fun as we went along. Medium to high acidity with a full mouth feel that coats you with pineapple fruit and lime zest. Nuts, and minerals dance in and out and this full bodied white wine ends with a mouthfeel that lingers on light feet, gently fading from the mouth and leaving you looking for more. Great wine and I will look for more!
Gabriella's Notes:
- 2004 Adegas Valmiñor Albariño Rías Baixas O Rosal – Spain, Galicia, Rías Baixas (7/28/2007)
Fabulous wine! Neon green with bright golden tones, this wine is delicious. Pineapple jumps out of the glass followed by it's friendly fruits of ripe pear and apricot. Add a dash of mineral and herbs and you have a fun nose. The mouthfeel is bright without being overly acidic. Pineapple, almonds and powerful surge of lime. Although it is rare that I find an albarino I don't like, I would happily seek thing out again!

Banks in international trade finance: evidence from the U.S
Banks play a critical role in facilitating international trade, in particular by reducing the risk of trade transactions. This paper uses unique information on the trade finance business of U.S. banks to document new empirical patterns. The data reveal that banks' trade finance claims differ substantially across destination countries. They are hump-shaped in country credit risk and increase with the time to import of a destination market. The extent to which trading partners use bank guarantees also varies systematically with global conditions, expanding when aggregate risk is higher and funding is cheaper. The response of bank trade finance to changes in these macro factors is heterogeneous, however. In countries with intermediate levels of credit risk, which rely the most on bank guarantees, bank trade finance adjusts the least. We show that a modification of the standard model of payment contract choice in international trade is needed to rationalize these empirical findings.

Paul Lambert insists Aston Villa are not a dirty side despite being bottom of the fair play table ahead of Sunday's Barclays Premier League clash with Liverpool at Villa Park.
Relegation-threatened Villa have accumulated 64 bookings and two red cards during the current campaign. Midfielder Fabian Delph became the first Premier League player to have to serve a two game ban for 10 bookings and right-back Matt Lowton is one yellow card away from facing the same punishment.
He said: "I'm a little bit surprised we are bottom (of the fair play table). Because we're a young side, sometimes our enthusiasm overrides things.
"If the referee decides to wave the yellow card, you have to run with it.
"Are Villa a dirty side? Are you kidding. We've got one player over six feet tall. The rest are three feet, nine inches!
"We are not the biggest team but we will certainly stand up to things."
Lambert will not attempt to try and change Lowton's approach and has been delighted with his overall form.
He said: "Matty will get a couple of games (suspension) if he gets booked but he has been excellent for us.
"He started the season brilliantly, had a little dip along with everyone else, and over the last few months he has been back to what he was doing at the start.
"You can't curtail somebody's approach. That's the way he plays the game so you can't curtail it.
"You don't want him missing through a ban but I'd rather him make a challenge than not and if he has to take the consequences, he has to take it.
"We've other people there to come back in if that happens."
Lambert is on a similar mission to Brendan Rodgers at Liverpool in trying to rebuild Villa over the next few years.
"Liverpool are a massive club. I know Brendan really well and have a lot of time for him," he said.
"We came through the Championship together and had some great battles at Norwich and Swansea when we were there.
"Brendan has said, with his team, it will take three or four years to get where he wants to get it.
"It won't be any different from here because we're trying to build certain things.
"You don't get time in football. But we want to try and change something and we are getting there, and I think the crowd are right behind it.
"They can see what is happening. The game is virtually sold out on Sunday so they are right with us.
"We can only do what we can do here and Liverpool will do what they are going to do."
Villa will be attempting to win three league games in a row for the first time since the tail-end of the Martin O'Neill era in April 2010. Successive wins over Reading and QPR have given them a fighting chance of staying up.
Lambert said: "When someone said about Villa not having back-to-back wins in two years until we beat QPR, that's extraordinary for a club like this.
"Someone has told me if we win a third one in a row, it will be the first time since 2009-2010 that Villa have done that. It's a long time so you may as well go and try and achieve it."

It is with a lot of sad feelings that we read about the flooding in Indiana and the tornado in Iowa that killed four boy scouts. As the story of those events continues to unfold, a single message is very clear: knowing what to do saves lives. The story of the boy scouts in particular points out the fact that kids like you can, and do, make a difference in an emergency. It's good to know about the different kinds of disasters so you can be prepared to take care of yourself, and maybe some of the people around you:
- Terrorists, Tornadoes & Tsunamis: How to Prepare for Life's Danger Zones
- US Dept of Homeland Security: Kids Ready Be Prepared in Every Situation
- FEMA for Kids: The Disaster Area
- National Weather Service for Kids: Floods, Tornadoes, Thunder & Lightning
- Owlie Skywarn's Weather Book: Storms Ahead!
- IMCPL Kids' Info Guide: Tornadoes
Thinking about these disasters can be scary. Sometimes, it helps to read about events that are scary in a fiction book. Reading about the event helps us live the experience…without actually having to live it. We can envision ourselvs in the situation and ask good questions while we have time to get good answers. Where should I go at home if a tornado is coming?
There is a fiction book some of you might be interested in called Night of the Howling Dogs. It is the story of a boy scout troup that is camping in Hawaii on Kilauea (a volcano) when an earthquake strikes and their campsite is overrun by a tsunami. It sounds like an, "oh, that would never happen" kind of story…but it is based on the true experience of a boy scout troup in 1975. One of the boy scouts that was actually there, is the cousin of the author. Like the boy scouts in Iowa, the scouts in this story use their knowledge of first aid & search & rescue, as well as courage and strength, to help each other survive. Author: Graham Salisbury
Two thumbs up to all boy scouts and the skills they learn, and our sympathies for the losses they have suffered this week.
