CF Industries is a global leader in fertilizer manufacturing and distribution, the second largest nitrogen fertilizer producer in the world and the third largest phosphate fertilizer producer among public companies. CF Industries owns and operates world-scale nitrogen and phosphate plants and serves agricultural and industrial customers through its best-in-class distribution system.
In 2010, CF Industries acquired Terra Industries Inc. Following this acquisition, CF Industries is positioned as a nitrogen bellwether in the global fertilizer industry and the premier nitrogen and phosphate fertilizer manufacturer in North America.
CF Industries operates the nation's most recently constructed phosphate rock mine and ore beneficiation plant in Hardee County, Florida. The mine's more than 22,000 acres of phosphate reserves should support approximately 23 years of mining at current operating rates of approximately 3.5 million tons of phosphate rock annually. Currently, 14 years of those reserves are fully permitted.
The Hardee County facility operates two large mining draglines, with a third scheduled to begin operations in 2010. The mining and beneficiation complex is laid out to maximize efficiency, minimizing the distance the slurried ore (the "matrix") must be pumped from each dragline to the beneficiation plant. The plant upgrades the matrix, eliminating impurities such as sand and clay and producing phosphate rock.
The beneficiation plant ships that phosphate via unit train to the company's phosphate fertilizer manufacturing complex in Plant City, Florida.
CF Industries and its people are actively involved in protecting the quality of our air and water. To learn more about some of these efforts, click on the links below.

Make sure you have these items before you head out on the trails.
Sure, you can hit the dirt in your road gear, but the experience is all the better with dialed-in equipment. Beyond the obvious differences in shoes, trail running has some unique gear requirements. Many have to do with being self-sufficient with carrying food and hydration, some have a safely element, and others are all about comfort. We've rounded up 10 key things to add to your trail kit. The good news is that much of the gear can do double or triple duty for road running, hiking and other sports. And don't forget a hat and sunglasses — your favorite road models will serve you well!
1. Jacket
Weather conditions can change in a flash and being prepared with a lightweight jacket is essential. The North Face Feather Lite Storm Blocker ($200) incorporates bomber rain shell features in a lightweight piece that works for everyday wear and as an emergency layer to keep in your pack. It's waterproof, breathable, blocks the wind and even has a hood!
2. Shirt
Between carrying a pack, wearing a jacket and brushing up against branches, shirts can take a beating on the trail. Choose a comfortable but durable one with flatlock or seamless construction for a chafe-free fit. Smartwool's PhD Run Short Sleeve Top ($85), above, has a seamless construction with the performance and durability qualities of wool and the benefit of a lighter knit in high sweat zones.
3. Pack
Running with a pack can be an adjustment, and proper fit is critical. A vest-like fit, stretchy fabric and moveable straps on the Salomon Advanced Skin S-Lab Hydro 5L ($160) let you customize the fit for comfortable running, and chest strap pockets, zip pockets and stuff pockets carry all you need for a long day in the woods.
4. Handheld
For shorter runs and more minimalist runners, a handheld like the Ultimate Direction Fastdraw Plus ($23), holds the hydration you need with a handy pocket for a gel, phone and keys.
5. Gaiters
Getting gravel, mud and snow in your shoes ruins a run in a hurry. Gaiters help keep crud out of your shoes and on the trail where it belongs. Choose a model that's best for your conditions. Smaller ones are good at keeping grit out without feet getting hot. The Outdoor Research Stamina Gaiter ($35) attaches easily to most shoes and sheds both dirt and snow.
6. Socks
When it comes to trail running, socks are still a matter of personal preference (yes or no, tall or short, compression or not), but they definitely increase the comfort factor when it comes to preventing blisters and protecting feet when dirt and sand sneaks into shoes. Swiftwick's SUSTAIN FOUR socks ($16) have compression to help keep feet feeling energized, are made of post-industrial recycled nylon and come in black so it isn't quite as obvious when they are dirty!
7. Poles
Running with poles depends upon your terrain. For rolling cruisers, they are just extra weight. But if you are headed out for some serious vertical gain and loss, poles can help provide balance, stability and little propulsion boost. Easton's Compact AL 5 ($110) open up and pack up quickly and easily so they are handy when you need them and gone when you don't.
8. Neck Gaiter
Ditch the old-school cotton bandana and choose a neck gaiter made of technical fabric instead. It can be used as a headband, face cover, sun protection, sweat sponge, hat, bandage and more. One like the new Expo Reflective Buff ($25), pictured above, increases your road to trail visibility.
9. Medical Kit
Depending how far you plan to venture, packing some bandage strips, wipes, anti-biotic ointment, sunscreen and lip balm is always handy. The Ultralight/Watertight .3 ($9) from Adventure Medical Kits slips easily into your pack and has the basic supplies you need for an outing into the woods.
10. Food
Trail running is the perfect mix of eating to run and running to eat! In addition to gels and chews, bars, sandwiches, nuts or jerky all make good options. Krave Basil Citrus turkey jerky is delicious wherever your journey takes you. If you are carrying a pack, why not fill it up with tasty treats?

Mike Fry doesn't only live on the Wild Side of Tasmania, but also goes fishing in probably the wildest boat ever to troll for trout—certainly in Tasmania.
When your mate says 'What are you doing tomorrow, want to come up the Gordon for the night?' it would be pretty hard to say anything else except "you bet" and start checking out your tackle box and packing your overnight bag. But if your mate was Troy Grining and he wanted to give his new 52ft, high speed cruiser a run across Macquarie Harbour, test the new onboard dory with a chance of landing a nice Gordon River Brown you would have to feel privileged. I didn't say anything about getting on my hands and knees and kissing his feet…just having a lend of ya' but I did feel very appreciative.
Tasmania is blessed with some of the most beautiful, scenic beaches in the world, all containing various numbers of sought after sportfish.
Often species as rare as Tailor, enter out waters with there being a ready supply of Rays, Sharks, Flathead, Whiting, Mullet an the more elusive Blackback Salmon. The fact is, that these secluded beaches are not heavily fished and publicised, like the more popular mainland destinations. As in all fishing there are certain techniques, rigs and baits which will give you the advantage and swing the odds back into your favour.
Lure fishing for Bream is quite popular on the Mainland. It is not widely practised in Tasmania. Dwayne Righy of Hobart explains his techniques and the lures that have brought him success in the South of Tasmania.
On December 27 a young man lost his lucky hat. This incident took place somewhere on the Tamar River at around 3:00 pm. The Hot Tuna hat is grey and faded, and has a picture of a fish on the front.
Yellowtail Kingfish - or "Kingies" as they are referred to often - are a fish found in all Australian states. They are an elongated while some of larger fish can be fatter - more like an Albacore in shape. Colour of dark blue to purple above, silvery below, the two colours separated by a broad yellowish-green longitudinal band. The spinous dorsal and pectoral fins are light bluish, the other fins including the tail are yellow. The Kingies are a totally different fish from Yellowfin Tuna. Kingies are a schooling fish, where there is one there are usually a lot more.
Especially, Flinders Island has not been discovered yet. It has no crowds, traffic jams or rip, rush and tear. The weather is mild by Tasmanian standards with frost free winters and more sunshine than the Gold Coast. It has spectacular natural beauty, lots of fish and friendly people. James Luddington reports on one of Tasmania's most productive fishing areas - Flinders Island.

Best shore based areas are Black and Red Rocks at Cooee Point west of Burnie. The Penguin boat ramp is a great location as is Penguin Point just to the west of the ramp. Boat Harbour is good from the beach and the point is also good from the rocks. The Bund Breakwall in front of the Burnie Yacht Club is fast becoming one of the hot spots around Burnie. A lot of salmon are taken during the day and good catches of squid are also caught. Small snapper are also taken here occasionally.
Blackmans Reef off the main Burnie wharf is a terrific hot spot when the salmon are running and if it is too rough here the water on the inside of the main breakwall will give good fishing and protected waters.
Also near Burnie, to the west, is the Cam River at Somerset. This a great place to take the family with grassy banks adjoining the river and a playground to keep them occupied. Mullet are plentiful and there is always a bream or two to be caught.
Wynyard has some fantastic fishing - from Table Cape just west of the town to the Inglis River on which it is situated. Table Cape and Fossil Bluff are especially productive. The Inglis River adjoins Wynyard and fish are caught virtually in the main street. Fishing off the wharf is always productive. At night, salmon are almost guaranteed and it's a lot of fun. Off the mouth, trolling for salmon is virtually a local custom with a sliced piece of plastic tube as the lure. There is some great bream fishing in the Inglis River.
Moving west from Port Sorell you'll find Morelands Beach, which stretches from Port Sorell to Wrights Island - around five kilometres east of the Mersey River at Devonport. Access is from opposite the mill at Wesley Vale and surf fishers often drive along the beach. This is one of the most popular beaches in the area with good gutters. Best fishing for large flathead is October/November. Salmon are caught all year.
Wrights Island is directly off the airport. A boat is needed and good pike and calamari squid are found inside the island, while outside wrasse, leatherjacket and flathead. Good pike are trolled up off the eastern side of the heads, but these are also caught off the shore.
The breakwater on the eastern shore is popular for cocky salmon, snotty trevally, flathead, mullet and couta. Half to three quarter incoming tide is the most productive.
The western breakwater is blocked off to fishing and the next popular area is the Mersey Bluff. Access is good either from the beach or the car park at the top. The best fishing is on the eastern side where salmon, shark, couta, flathead, and pike are taken over sandy broken bottom. On the western side there is reefy bottom and wrasse, leatherjacket and other reef species are found here. Luderick are also found off the bluff, although only a few Tasmanians target these.
Back Beach and Coles Beach are easily accessed between the Bluff and Don heads. A lot of fishing is done from boats around the Don heads for pike, couta and salmon. The heads are also easily accessed from both sides.
Further along is the Forth River. This is a popular areas for large Australian salmon. Local boat fishers claim trolling is only successful when undertaken in an east - west direction. No one seems to know why. Skipping plastic lures or squid imitations across the surface is most successful and trolling fast is essential. Occasionally shore fishers can reach these fish, but the size is usually smaller.
Ulverstone is a lovely town with friendly people and a small estuary that gives easy access to the sea. The area is not as productive as one would think though. The Leven River estuary contains mullet, Australian Salmon and a few trevally, and apart from some good sea-run trout in spring little else. A few couta are also caught around the mouth.
The breakwall on the eastern shore is one of the most popular fishing spots. Fish this on an incoming tide for wrasse, cod, couta and salmon. The western side is not as popular, but a silver wobbler cast into eddying water will often be worth the effort.
There is a good boat ramp and pontoon on the western shore of the Leven River. Beach fishing around Ulverstone is generally not as good as further east around Turners Beach.
All the coastal area from Ulverstone to Rocky Cape is similar in structure, accessibility and species. Most rivers are navigable only at high tide, which is often the best fishing time anyway.
Flathead are readily caught all through this area, gurnard perch are another good catch which are ugly, have poisonous spines, and some claim good eating. Couta are somewhat seasonal, while Australian salmon are caught all year round. Much of this area was, in the past, subject to some unsavoury and dirty industry, but this has all changed. Pollution is now virtually non-existent and the fishing has improved enormously. Regularly sighted off the coast are dolphins, whales, and seals.
If you have access to a boat, occasional snapper and school shark are available off shore. Inshore rock cod, leatherjacket, couta, yellowtail kingfish, squid and salmon are the reward. It is an abundant area that deserves some closer attention as the water quality improves.
Bicheno is home to many commercial rock lobster fishers and quite a few recreational fishers also try their hand as well. Rock lobster can be taken in pots, rings or by gloved hand by divers. All methods must be licensed. Another expensive shellfish, abalone are also eagerly sought. It is a delicacy that can be taken by divers. A licence is required.
Due to Bicheno's open exposure to the Tasman Sea many recreational anglers are either rock or beach fishers. A vessel capable of coping with large, unpredictable seas is needed here. Some beach fishing occurs north of Bicheno and also south towards Coles Bay at Friendly Beaches. Australian salmon, flathead and shark are targeted in the surf, while striped trumpeter, barracouta, morwong, leatherjacket and cod are taken offshore.
Rocky shores abound around Bicheno and many areas are suitable as fishing platforms. A silver sliced lure is the most common hardware and bait fishing techniques here are less common.
There is a marine reserve around Governors Island, opposite The Gulch, which provides an excellent opportunity for diving.
The wharf at the Gulch is a popular place to visit in the evenings for salmon, mackerel and trevally to name just a few. It is also a great spot for kids.
North of Bicheno are a few accessible beaches that are worth a try if you can find some gutters. In particular the beach from the turn-off at Four Mile Beach all the way around to the bluff at the southern end of the beach can be good, but look for gutters for the best results.Scamander
Getting there; 3 hours from Hobart, 2 hours + from Launceston.
Major angling species; Rock lobster, flathead, couta and striped trumpeter, albacore, southern bluefin tuna, marlin, Australian Salmon, bream.
Other attractions; Swimming, surfing, sight seeing, diving.
Scamander River is one of Tasmania's great bream locations. Fish are not as big as in some of the other estuaries, but they are plentiful. It fishes well all year, but the best time is from November to March. Usual methods such as bait fishing and lure fishing are the way to go. Pretty fish and shrimps are some of the best baits, but it pays to have a variety. Locals comment that the fishing now is as good or better than fifty years ago. Bait is available from the shops in Scamander.
You can also expect to catch a few nice salmon, silver trevally and mullet. There are also luderick around the bridge pylons at the mouth of the river. Very few people fish for these, but they are there in good numbers for the angler with the skill and perserverance.
You can drive for quite a way up the river by heading to Upper Scamander. The meandering upper reaches are home to bream as well as trout.
Fishing is quite easy along the easily accessed banks, but a boat can open up a few more opportunities. There is also a Professional guide operating bream and inshore tours from St Helens.
The beaches around Scamander provide some first class fishing. Big Australian salmon, large flathead and sharks are the main targets. Possibly the best beach around this area is Beaumaris Beach. The northern end is the most productive, and often only a short cast is needed to put your bait into the deep water where salmon up to three kilos are caught.
Pulfers reef, directly off Scamander is highly renowned as a good striped trumpeter location as well as big flathead and morwong. In the summer months, yellowfin tuna, albacore and striped marlin come close to shore. There is no good quality, sea access, boat ramp around Scamander so it is best to drive up to St Helens and launch from there.
Best time to fish; All year
Getting there; 2 1/2 hours from Hobart, 2 hours+ from Launceston.
Major angling species; Rock lobster, flathead, couta and striped trumpeter, albacore, southern bluefin tuna, Australian Salmon, bream.
Other attractions; Swimming, surfing, sight seeing, National Parks - Douglas, Apsley and Freycinet, wineries.
The mid-east coast of Tasmania boasts some tremendous fishing with St Helens, at the northern end of the east coast and Tasman Peninsula at the southern end rated as Tasmania's premium game fishing areas.
The 15 kilometre run from Coles Bay at the northern end of Freycinet Peninsula out to open water - through Schouten Passage is probably the reason more game fishing is not undertaken here. Most game fishing is undertaken by holiday home owners in the area. Coles Bay is a superb protected bay with many holiday homes.
Flathead are the prime target in Great Oyster Bay as are seasonal squid. Large wrasse are also easily caught, but rarely kept as food. Whiting are targeted by a few anglers, but these seem to be in isolated pockets.
Shore and boat fishing is popular in the Swan River, just north of Swansea - especially for bream. One kilogram specimens are common and 2 kg fish regularly taken. There are several easily reached access points on the Swan River - mostly along the Dolphin Sands road. Crabs, prawns, pretty fish and nippers all make good bait. The Swan River also has good fishing in the lower reaches for large garfish and leatherjacket. While a boat can be useful here it is not essential for success.
On the southern side of Dolphin Sands is Great Oyster Bay. Nine Mile Beach and the many other beaches and rocky outcrops that flank the northern and western sides of Great Oyster Bay are great and popular fisheries.
While boat owners can access more water, the flat, mostly featureless sandy bottom of Great Oyster Bay yields little more than those outlined earlier. Most boat anglers drift for flathead with baits. Recently some anglers also successfully use large, bibbed lures in the more shallow areas with great results.
Anglers without a boat need not despair as fishing from many access points beside the main highway, on the western side of Great Oyster Bay, is often just as productive as from a boat in the more open waters.
The main pier at both Swansea and Coles Bay often has good congregations of squid that can be caught by anglers with jigs especially at evening. Schools of small Australian salmon and long fin pike are also common off these jetties as are mackerel.
A day on Great Oyster Bay can reward anglers with schools of dolphins, seals and whales as well as sea eagles and other extraordinary sights of nature.
A run down Great Oyster Bay takes you to Schouten Passage a deep water channel between Freycinet Peninsula and Schouten Island - a channel that is rich in food, fish and often turbulent currents. Down deep there are big flathead and wrasse with an infrequent striped trumpeter. It is often difficult to fish the bottom through the channel and large sinkers are needed.
Out through "the passage"striped trumpeter and large flathead are more common, yet certainly not prolific. A daily catch of four or five trumpeter is considered good.
Tuna can be caught close to shore. Albacore are more common here, while southern bluefin and sometime yellowfin are caught. Mako and blue shark are also taken. The southern tip and eastern shores of Schouten Island are the most productive.
A charter boat operates from Coles Bay and as well as fishing, offers sight-seeing and dive charters. This is one of the most scenic and beautiful parts of Tasmania. It would be a rare day when you couldn't catch a fish or be held spellbound by the beauty of the area.
It's early February, and with the water temperature starting to rise, and the appearance of the small pelagic tuna off the north east coast. Wade Pelham and myself decided it would be a good time to seek out a highly regarded game fish; the Blue Pointer or more commonly known as the Mako.

The first Atlantic salmon eggs used to begin Tasmania's Atlantic salmon aquaculture industry were introduced into Tasmania in 1984. From these humble beginnings a valuable Tasmanian industry has evolved with a worldwide reputation for having a premium disease free product. This industry provides a spin off to all anglers in the form of regular escapes of salmon from the farms.

Windy Hill began as an idea in a Menlo Park (CA) High School wood shop class, where two 17-year-old friends sat around their work station sanding their projects and talking about live music. They discovered a mutual love for the songs of Bill Monroe, Carter Stanley, and Jimmy Martin and set out to learn to play and sing traditional music.
In 2008, these two friends – Henry Warde and Ryan Breen – found themselves in Fort Collins, Colorado, and started their band. Windy Hill was always the natural choice for the band name, as Ryan's backyard in Portola Valley, CA, overlooks the town's landmark – a golden hill separating the SF Bay Area from the Pacific Ocean.
The next year, they returned to California and another bluegrass-loving member of their high school class, Kyle McCabe, joined the band. Henry (mandolin), Ryan (banjo), and Thomas Wille (guitar) usually form the band's power trio, while Kyle (bass) holds down the beat.

Reference aquaplanet climate in the Community Atmosphere Model, Version 5
In this study, fundamental characteristics of the aquaplanet climate simulated by the Community Atmosphere Model, Version 5.3 (CAM5.3) are presented. The assumptions and simplifications of the configuration are described. A 16 year long, perpetual equinox integration with prescribed SST using the model's standard 18 grid spacing is presented as a reference simulation. Statistical analysis is presented that shows similar aquaplanet configurations can be run for about 2 years to obtain robust climatological structures, including global and zonal means, eddy statistics, and precipitation distributions. Such a simulation can be compared to the reference simulation to discern differences in the climate, including an assessment of confidence in the differences. To aid such comparisons, the reference simulation has been made available via earthsystemgrid.org. Examples are shown comparing the reference simulation with simulations from the CAM5 series that make different microphysical assumptions and use a different dynamical core.

text: UNC-Chapel Hill student J Gray Swartzel's arresting thesis show recalls Cindy Sherman. Swartzel's frank, gender-bending photographic portraits of himself and his family crash through traditional gazes and poses with complex psychodynamics. See the artist's turn as Manet's prostitute from "Olympia," attended by his mother—who appears in another image dressed in his father's war uniform. The role-play makes for a warped homage. In another mode, Swartzel's thrown-back head opens his neck and the underside of his chin into a scarred, living landscape. The initial conceptual violence of these images gradually gives way to a desperate lyricism that, though you might not catch all the words, expresses the familial and social hungers that power identity. —Chris Vitiello

'Rocky Horror Picture Show' 'Virgin's' Guide: Audience Participation Tips & Traditions
Some people have been watching 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show' at midnight viewings for 40 years, but you may be watching for the first time when the remake premieres on October 20! One of the best parts about seeing the cult film is audience participation, and you can still do it at home! Click through for the traditions you need to know!
The fun part about The Rocky Horror Picture Show is that theaters seems to have its own traditions when it comes to callbacks. There are always quintessential lines that every audience says, no matter where they are. You need to know the following if you want to make your audience participation experience authentic, even if you're watching by yourself! Note that this gets a little NSFW:
First, every time Brad Majors and Janet Weiss are introduced to someone, and their names are said, you have to yell "A**HOLE! and "SLUT!" respectively. During the intro song, "Science Fiction Double Feature", at the line "See androids fighting," the audience always calls out "and f**king, and sucking" before they say Brad and Janet.
During the drawn-out pause when Frank says "Antici……pation" during "Sweet Transvestite," you must yell "Say it!" In the same song, when Frank says about Rocky, "And he's good for relieving my…tension," yell "sexual!" in the pause. There's so much more to say, but it varies between audiences. Try out this version here if you dare!
Rocky Horror Picture Show' Cast: Remake V. Original — Pics
Doing the Time Warp is essential, as well, but it's easy because they just tell you how to do the dance in the song! You're set! Stock up on these props, too! Some of these are messy, so you may want to skip if you don't want to clean up a mess after the movie:
RICE: Throw rice at Ralph Hapschatt and Betty Munroe's wedding.
NEWSPAPERS & WATER GUNS: When Brad and Janet are caught in the rain, fire squirt guns in the air while you hold a newspaper over your head, just like Janet does.
LIGHTERS: During the "There's a Light" verse of "Over at the Frankenstein Place", wave a lighter or candle over your head. Be safe with where you're pointing it! A flashlight will do just fine, too.
RUBBER GLOVES: While Frank is explaining how he created Rocky, he snaps his pair of rubber gloves. You'll be wearing a pair, too, and snapping the gloves in sync with Frank!
NOISEMAKERS: After that same speech, the Transylvanians cheer and blow noisemakers. Blow yours, too!
TOILET PAPER: When Dr. Scott shows up, and Brad exclaims "Great Scott!" you're going to throw a roll of toilet paper in the air. Generally, it's thrown down the theater toward the movie screen, but you probably won't have very much room between you and the TV to do this!
PARTY HATS: When the guests are having dinner, put on a party hat.
BELL: During the song "Planet Schmanet Janet", ring your bell after Frank sings "Do you hear a bell ring?"
HollywoodLifers, are you participating in RHPS traditions while watching the new version at home? Tell us in the comments!

2. Shopping cart details along with merchant account are sent to payment gateway secure server for processing.
3. Payment gateway forwards transaction information to merchant's acquiring bank.
4. Merchant's acquiring bank forwards transaction information to the credit card issuing bank for transaction verification.
5. Credit card issuing bank verifies transaction and sends response code (Approve, Deny, and reason for denial if applicable) back to merchant's acquiring bank.
6. Merchant's bank sends credit card transaction details and response back to payment gateway. If payment is approved, the bank will deposit funds on a merchant's account at the scheduled time.
7. Payment gateway sends transaction details and response back to merchant's online store.
8. Payment information is displayed to the customer; i.e. "credit card was charged", "credit card was denied", etc.
At certain processing stages fees will be charged from the transaction total. The amount of fees depends on a payment gateway used, merchant account, credit card type, and other factors; it usually adds up to be two to three percent of? total charges.

Variations in key genes increase Caucasians risk of heroin addiction
Sometimes, small changes do add up. In the case of addictive diseases, tiny variations in a few genes can increase or decrease the likelihood of some people developing a dependency on heroin. Now, by examining a select group of genetic variants in more than 400 former severe heroin addicts, Rockefeller University researchers have identified several genetic variations in American and Israeli Caucasians that influence the risk for becoming addicted to one of the worlds most powerful substances.
In a collaborative effort with statistical geneticists and several methadone clinics, scientists led by Mary Jeanne Kreek, head of the Laboratory of the Biology of Addictive Diseases, analyzed 1,350 variations in 130 genes and found nine, from six genes, that were either more or less common in recovering heroin addicts when compared to Caucasians with no history of drug abuse. These small changes in the gene sequences can cause significant changes in protein function that can influence addictive behavior changes that may affect people of different ethnic background differently.
The idea of personalized medicine makes this field really exciting but also very complicated, says Orna Levran, a senior research associate in the Kreek laboratory and first author of the study. Although seven of these variants increase the risk for developing heroin addiction in Caucasians, the same seven may not have the same effect in other populations. So ethnicity and, more precisely, genetic information in each individual may become important factors for treating and diagnosing addictions to different drugs.
In their analysis, Kreek, Levran and their colleagues looked at a string of letters called nucleotides, the building blocks that make up genes. In each of the six genes, at least one letter is replaced by another, a genetic variation known as a single nucleotide polymorphism, or SNP. The researchers found that all of the single-letter variations exist in parts of the genes that do not translate into proteins but instead may have a regulatory or a structural effect.
Out of the nine SNPs, the group found six in the μ, δ and κ opioid receptors, a finding that reinforces the idea, and many other findings of the Kreek laboratory, that opiate receptors play a major role in severe heroin addiction. The remaining three SNPs were found in genes coding for the serotonin receptor 3B, casein kinase 1 epsilon, which acts as a regulator of the circadian clock genes, and galanin, which modulates appetite and alcohol consumption. This is the first study to show that specific variants in these genes are associated with heroin addiction, explains Levran.
The SNPs in the κ opioid receptor and casein kinase 1 genes were found more in the control group than the heroin addicts group, suggesting that they conferred protection from heroin addiction not vulnerability to develop addiction.
Individually, these SNPs probably have a small effect, explains Levran, but collectively, we are seeing that they could have a larger effect. One of the goals now is to find all of these gene variants and assess how they influence people of different ethnic backgound.

I've rather avoided Hartwell House until now. That's because I remember the mammoth pile in a previous incarnation. No, not, as my children cruelly suggest, during the time it was occupied by the exiled Louis XVIII, but in the 1970s, when it was a girls' finishing school (remember them?).
My previous school having politely requested that I never darken its doors again, I needed to be housed elsewhere for sixth form, and still vividly remember the show-round at Hartwell House, where glacial, glossy-haired girls sat on their beds coolly painting their nails and curling their eyelashes. They gave not a glance in my direction as I was ushered into their magnificent but threadbare dormitory.
But that was then. For the last 19 of its 400 or so years the current Hartwell House (substantial antecedents have existed here since William the Conqueror's day) has been a hotel. Along with Middlethorpe Hall in York and Bodysgallen Hall in Wales, it's one of Richard Broyd's carefully restored Historic House Hotels.
As I say, my heart wasn't in this visit. Memories of its vast, forbidding bulk, the frightful people inside it and the beastly discomfort of their existence made me almost dread what I would find in the hotel version.
I needn't have worried. Genial manager Jonathan Thompson greeted us at the door. In the great hall we found a roaring log fire, comfortable sofas and a satyr on the plasterwork ceiling holding what looks like a giant lolly. A warm welcome, chatty staff: I was intimidated no more. As for our Friday-night fellow guests, they included a group of giggly girls who'd come for a spa break, a hirsute Lothario canoodling with his tattooed girlfriend and a pair of polished metropolitans whose faces were vaguely familiar. In other words, a healthy mixture, plenty of bonhomie and no ties necessary at dinner. A good thing it was busy: the public spaces are too big to be comfortably alone.
There are four large, impressive drawing rooms, though unfortunately three of them only have sterile gas log fires. The most alluring original feature is the beautiful ceiling in the Georgian Morning Room that depicts the Four Seasons. Least alluring, though highly important, is the extraordinary Jacobean staircase, lined by statues of the Knights of Europe guarding the way to bed. Louis XVIII's queen, who died here of drink brought on by the misery of living in Britain, had them removed because their candlelit shadows frightened her as she stumbled, half-cut, to bed. They gave me the creeps too, as I stumbled, half-cut, to bed and the green splodgy carpet and mauve walls (in Strawberry Hill Gothic style) did nothing to help the situation.
There are other things that should be improved to keep Hartwell House up to the mark, not least the cork-tiled bathroom floors (it's bad enough living with my own without having to pay for one); the tiddly bottles of shampoo and bath gel provided in even the most palatial of the bedrooms; some furnishings and fittings in the public spaces; and the food, which wasn't remotely up to the prices demanded (pushing £30 for a main course). Natural, easy-going hospitality, though, despite the splendour of the surroundings, is something they don't need to work on.
Rooms * * * *
From "royal rooms" to "attic rooms", all spacious, country-house style, and full of pretty things.
Service * * * * *
Manager Jonathan Thompson, there since the beginning, runs a great team, including splendid aged retainers.
Character * * * *
One of our country's stately homes, but not remotely intimidating.
Food and drink * *
Okay, but far too expensive.
Value for money * * *
It's a big ask; you are paying for the stately home and its upkeep.
- Oxford Road, near Aylesbury (01296 747444; www.hartwell-house.com). Doubles from £290 per night, including breakfast. For reviews and recommendations by Fiona Duncan visit www.thehotelguru.com.

It's never too late to start over. Regrets are for pussies. No matter what lies ahead, it's never too late for you to make up for what you've done in the past. Never too late, unless you're brain-dead, living off the life-support machine. Then it IS too late. You can start regretting anything that comes to mind at that time. Not that you have control of your mind at that time. You're on your own, nigga *flies away*.
Well, jauh nyimpang dah ni.
Aight, let's start with a story.
'twas 27th May. The date of which Danny's been waiting for the whole month. The Pay Day. He called up Larry, his best buddy inviting him for a drink at a stall nearby.
"Wei minum, aku payung kau"
Larry, being a cheap mothafucka, had no objection at all. All he thought at that time was, what should he ordered.
The usual Larry would never be on time for anything. Meetings, datelines, reports were never completed on time. Semayang jangan cakap la. But this time it's different. He was way ahead of Danny, the clockwork. He arrived exactly 13 minutes earlier than the agreed time. So he sat at one of the empty table.
He waited anxiously, his thoughts completely in a tornado state, because he was starving.
Danny arrived 20 minutes after. He got caught in a traffic jam. A car rammed the lorry in front of it. At least that was what Danny saw.
He shook Larry's hand. Then he sat on the chair opposite of Larry's.
The waiter came, and took a shitload of orders. They were all Larry's.
Danny started the conversation by asking Larry's current predicament. They both exchange stories about what's really happening in their lives. Nothing serious in particular. The topics were boring. In fact, the topics should be considered as useless junks you keep getting in your email inbox. They served only two purpose, keeping you occupied and filling up the space.
But the night is young. Danny pulled out a box of ciggarette from his left pocket. He took one cig, and light it up.
Gettin Really Tired of Your Shit, Danny

Confession of A Grammar Nazi
Posted by Anonymous II at 17:40
"Grandpa, why is your left eye blind?" Danny asked.
"Oh my dear, this here is the proof that I survived the war. That time, I was busy tending to my injured comrades. Then, came this Nazi guy from my behind. He had his bayonet aimed at my face. I turned around, and just saw a glimpse of him stabbing my face" he replied.
"Whoa, what happened then?" Danny seemed really interested in the story.
"I was hurting all over. I could feel blood flowing all over my face. He tried to stab me one more time to finish me off. Phew, with luck, he was shot by my friend whom had just arrived. But I did hear he said something before he was shot" said Grandpa with a dead serious face.
"What did he say?" he asked innocently.
"I bet you did Nazi this coming, eh"
Grandpa laughed hysterically.
Y'know, my family was never the kind of family where English was practiced. Hell, English was such a foreign language there, the first English word I said out loud was 'Wash' and I didn't even pronounced it correctly at that time.
I said, "Ayah, ni baju adik nak basuh ni kena pusing dekat W-E-S-H ke?"
My whole family laughed and the incident will never be forgotten every time there's a family reunion.
I was so bad at English, all I remembered from my childhood memories was that I was being laughed at.
Tapi tu dulu.
Maybe all those insults and perli got in deep within me. I swore that I would never make mistakes. Being so intense in redeeming myself, I got into this obsessive-compulsive disorder, where I couldn't tolerate any mistake done by myself or anyone else.
I remember this one time; I saw a banner saying "UNDILAJ BARISAN NASIONAL"
I was so enraged and was like,
Time went by, and my OCD cooled down, but I still couldn't tolerate few things.
Aha. I've got a list here. Here it goes.
1. Misconception of 'literally' and 'figuratively'
a. Dude, seriously. I literally got my ass kicked.
b. I figuratively got my ass kicked. See? No? Well just omit 'em.
2. Usage of 'to' and 'too'
a. This is to much, sayang.
b. I'm headed too KL Sentral.
3. Usage of 'I'm' and 'I'
a. I'm love you.
b. I missing you.
4. Usage of 'affect' and 'effect'
a. Tell me how this one setback will effect our company.
b. Tell him that that setback was just the side affect of what will come next.
C'mon people, I'm not saying that I'm perfect. I'm just stating the fact that people won't take you seriously if yu kenot speel korekly. I don't see any problem if you wanna write in any language you want, but it seems to me that you might need to reconsider your words if they are used for official matters.
Well, I gotta tell you this. The key to a good English essay is not lavish vocabulary you have in there, son. It is simplicity. You gotta keep it simple.
p/s : I can count to potato.

The Company Intends to Pursue Sale of Omnis Business and Dissolve
PORTLAND, OR--(Marketwired - February 18, 2016) -
TigerLogic Corporation (OTCQX: TIGR) today announced it has reached a definitive agreement to sell its assets associated with its Postano business to Sprinklr, Inc., the world's most complete enterprise social technology company. The sale has been approved by the Company's Board of Directors and a majority of its stockholders. The sale is subject to customary closing conditions, including the distribution of an Information Statement on Schedule 14C to non-consenting shareholders. The transaction is expected to close in March 2016.
Postano, a leading social visualization platform, enables brands to find, curate, and analyze the best social fan content and publish it as stunning visualizations across web, mobile, and live screen displays for industries such as sports, retail, and events. Postano's technology will enhance Sprinklr's Command Center and other display capabilities, allowing brands to better interpret and share data across their organization, while also giving them greater creativity and scale in the execution of visual experiences online and offline.
"We live in an age of empowered and connected customers where a brand's ability to deliver great experiences matters more than anything. Too many companies think about those experiences in either online or offline terms, but the 'divide' between the two is imaginary in the minds of customers," said Ragy Thomas, CEO & Founder, Sprinklr. "Postano's technology and creativity will elevate Sprinklr's visualization capabilities, letting brands see the voice of their customers more clearly and giving them the ability to provide more immersive visual experiences -- from stores to stadiums."
TigerLogic is also pursuing the sale of its assets associated with its Omnis business, and intends to consummate such a sale as soon as possible following the consummation of the sale of the Postano assets. The Company has begun preliminary negotiations with an unaffiliated third party regarding the potential sale of the Omnis business, but has not yet reached a definitive agreement.
Once the sale of the Omnis business is complete, the Company plans to file a certificate of dissolution with the Secretary of State for the State of Delaware, and to proceed to wind up its business and liquidate its assets to stockholders. No specific timeframe for the completion of these actions has been established, and the record date for any such distribution has not been determined.
"We believe selling Postano and Omnis and subsequently winding down TigerLogic is in the best interest of our stockholders based on our losses from operations, accumulated deficit, and limited cash available to fund future operations," said Roger Rowe, acting Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of TigerLogic. "We are striving to complete the sale of Omnis and our other remaining assets in a timely and efficient manner."

Top: g.u.
Skirt: Topshop
Shoes: idk, got it off Runway Channel
Necklace: ASOS
Soooooooo. It's dark.
Here's the story. Yes, there is a story to how I got this hair when I got it. I had two appointments at two hair salons exactly one week apart. The first was a salon in Shibuya to get my hair cut, permed and treated for really cheap. The second was to get my hair dyed medium-brown on the top and a gradient/streaks of hot pink from the bottom up. My dream hair- curly, with locks of pink. I mean, I'd bleached my hair already and since I had to suffer so much damage as consequence, I might as well take advantage of it to the fullest and put some crazy colour in, right?
But no. I got to the salon in Shibs for my perm all excited to never ever have to painstakingly curl my hair ever again, only for them to touch and inspect my hair and asked if I'd bleached it. Well yes, it's blindingly blonde. What's that? Bleached hair CAN'T BE PERMED?!?!?!?!?!? What did I go all the way to Shibs for (besides shopping, I mean)? I had booked my appointment on a perm coupon so I just sat there dumbfounded not knowing how to follow up, speechless. So I ended up telling them to trim my hair anyway, get rid of maximum 3-4cm just to remove split ends, give me bangs, and dye all my hair dark brown.
The reason I decided to go all-brown was because honestly, I had been hesitant to go for my pinkifying appointment. Not because I didn't want pink hair- believe me, I'd have made my whole head pink if it wasn't hell to maintain- but rather because the dye job was estimated to cost over ¥20000 when I asked the salon. I didn't have 20k to throw at them for pink ends that would fade in less than a month, so I caved in and went all dark. It's gonna start fading in awhile anyway because no colour can cling to bleached hair for long, but I'm kinda glad I went dark because I have an important meeting/interview coming up and light hair is frowned upon very ferociously in the working society of Japan (as is my makeup style and nails and fashion in general).
And that is the story of how I ended up with limp, straight, dark brown hair and kinda messed-up bangs that I hate (I don't hate the dark brown that much, only how it's fading to light brown so quickly). The selca pictures make it look like I have gradient purple ends but I assuredly don't- it's just lighting and colour adjustment.
Incidentally, at the point in which I publish this, I've already dyed my hair darker brown a second time within a week after I had it dyed first, because it had faded back to light again before my interview. It's faded again and is now brown where my roots were, and ash-green-blonde where the bleached section is.

I bought this tube in Idaho on my cross country tour, and put it on my rear(load bearing) tire. I would estimate that I got 5 flats on this tube over the course of the tour, and each time the tire sealed itself and I was able to move on with no issue. In fact, it wasn't until the 6th flat in Florida that it failed, and I think a screwdriver went through my tire that time. It's a little heavier, but any tube that can take me across most of the country and requires zero maintenance is a winner in my book.

Coulrophobia is an abnormal or exaggerated fear of clowns. It is not uncommon among children, but is also sometimes found in teenagers and adults as well. Sufferers sometimes acquire a fear of clowns after having a bad experience with one personally, or seeing a sinister portrayal of one in the media. The weird appearance of the clowns, swollen red noses and unnatural hair colors makes these persons look so mysterious and treacherous. Adults who are victims of coulrophobia know what they fear is completely irrational and illogical, but they can't escape the circumstance.
That being said, avoid them at all costs because we KNOW all clowns are serial killers or demons just waiting to crawl out from under your bed and murder you with a weed trimmer.

The poster simply invited any readership to "caption" the portrait. Commentary was flying in by the second. The first chunk of samples will be found below. Now, for the record, I have no problem with proper vestments within the context of the particular cultural needs a parish/cathedral requires. I don't think this is about vestments, these comments below. I ask (fear) that under this pontificate, we may have crossed a bridge too far in terms of basic common decency and respect. We don't just tolerate offense, we offer the other cheek. Presuming anyone offering a "caption" such as those below has an interest in things liturgical, I'm led to believe that among our very own, many "feel" it appropriate to demean the integrity of fellow Christians, and even those ordained to clerical office.
If any of the folks who offered captions are DM's, they're neither "Pilots" nor "Pilates" (referencing my other article.) However the image of the mob chanting "Give us Barabbas" comes to mind.
The captions (note to administrator-Richard, feel free to condense these into a "more" window:

Police report the men were masked and armed.
Chris Brown's Los Angeles home has been raided by three masked men, police report.
The 'Loyal' singer wasn't at home when the armed suspects ransacked his house at 2am on Wedneday (15h July) but his aunt was present.
After hearing a noise outside, Breezy's aunt opened the door to see what was going on, but was faced with the three criminals who forced their way into the house and locked her in a closet.
Police have not said what has been taken from the house or whether Chris' aunt is at all harmed.
It's unclear who the three men are, but Breezy's mum posted a cryptic tweet hinting that it was someone close to home.

It's not the first time Breezy's home has been broken into, last month a stalker made her was into his house and stripped naked, waiting for him to get arrive.
Let's hope Chris' aunt is ok.

Open Systems and Advanced Manufacturing Technologies
N.B. This qualification is ready for teaching this September as it is already listed on the 2019 Performance tables which was published at the beginning of the year.
BTW. If you are considering doing our rocketry qualification but worried it will clash with GCSE Engineering or possibly Manufacturing, worry no more. It is actually Advanced Manufacturing with a discount code of WA3. GCSE engineering is XA and Manufacturing WA.
NEW! All schools following this qualification will receive 10 FREE licences of KerbalEdu for their school: http://kerbaledu.com/teaching The Kerbal education team are going to work with us to develop teaching materials.
Please drop us an email and let us know if you are doing this qualification and we will make sure it is avalable to you on the Markbook.
Open Systems and Advanced Manufacturing Technologies is the official title of this new qualification from TLM, but at TLM it's better known as "It's not Rocket Science", because actually it is!
That's not all that it is though, it is perhaps one of the first multifunctional qualifications to gain performance table points for 2019. On top of that it's a genuine Information Technology course and lastly a true STEM course that will facilitate Scientists and Technologists working synergistically on the same qualification.
The Assessment model is the same as the much loved Open Systems and Enterprise or "ITQ" course that has introduced so many schools to TLM. 30% Coursework marks for reaching a level 2 threshold standard and then up to 70% available from a single, grade determining, exam.
The course structure is simplicity itself and lends itself to a wide range of teaching styles and delivery methods.
Four units require learners to develop their knowledge and understanding of cutting edge uses of Information technology from modelling rocket flight to building an unmanned vehicle. From a practical study of artificial intelligence to an understanding of the part that satellite technology plays in our ever increasing understanding of our planet's part in the wider cosmos and the way that we communicate with each other. There is also an underlying social dimension: is it good to have such technology, especially things like robots that may eventually replace us in some jobs?
The 4 units are both the content for the examination and also the challenges to learners to explore and develop their knowledge and skills in these four fascinating areas. Coursework does not require expensive resources, but if you have the good fortune or foresight to have programmable control technology systems such as Lego mindstorms or Data Harvest Flow Go systems, learners can be guided through discovery learning to a deeper understanding of artificial intelligence (AI) and unmanned vehicles (UV).
Enrolling with STEM Learning https://www.stem.org.uk/ opens up a treasure chest of resources for the exploration of Space including how to launch your own rockets but, if this is a step too far into the unknown, Kerbal's exciting software will allow you to use your IT skills and expertise to model the whole thing from the safety of the IT labs.
Backed, as all our courses are, by our Moodle and Mahara eportfolio systems TLM will not leave you unsupported by a syllabus that at first may look daunting, resource packs and how to videos will provide comprehensive teaching assistance. The Autumn term will herald opportunities to explore all the units in one of our acclaimed workshops where you can get hands on experience with TLM's online systems as well as hardware and software solutions to the challenges of "It's not rocket science" - the question is "Will you boldly go……………..?"

Being a Motivator combines two of the things that I love: fitness and togetherness. Riding alongside the Bikergang and helping push people to reach new goals is so gratifying for me. Spin has made a HUGE impact on my life, and it provides an incredible workout that gives me an escape from the rush of everyday life. This enables me to focus on becoming an authentically better version of myself by building relationships with like-minded, positive people...all while improving my fitness. My goal is to help others find that escape. Together we will face any challenges that come our way, and we will push past them to new levels of growth and change!
Upbeat, fun, crazy, and challenging! When we get on that bike we are going to work. I have quite the eclectic taste in music, so you will hear various genres and sounds. Come ready to sweat, challenge yourself, and help each other to reach our goals every class. There is no limit to what we can achieve!

Through a fluke of timing, Alex Gibney's documentary "Finding Fela!" is opening in the Boston area not long after the release of the James Brown biopic "Get on Up." Each movie plays perfectly well on its own, but some enterprising theater owner should really book the two as a double bill — or maybe wait until Gibney's own in-progress Brown documentary, "Mr. Dynamite," opens. The rhythms with which Brown revolutionized American popular music came straight from the Mother Continent; those same rhythms, imported back overseas and evolving into Afrobeat, helped galvanize the life, times, and tunes of the greatest African rocker of them all.
Fela Kuti just took his revolution much further. To my knowledge, he remains the only pop star to have declared his own house an independent republic, to have the military government send in assault troops in response (killing the singer's mother in the process), to have married 27 wives in one go, and to endure multiple arrests while his albums decried government corruption and ruled the national airwaves. Before AIDS finally killed him in 1997, at 58, Fela lived about a dozen "Behind the Music" episodes on his own.
What his life doesn't sound like is the stuff of New York stage musicals. Still, there "Fela!" was in a 2008 off-Broadway run — it moved to Broadway the following year and racked up 11 Tony nominations — and there Gibney ("The Armstrong Lie," "We Steal Secrets: The Wikileaks Story") lands with his camera as director-choreographer Bill T. Jones battles with the conundrums of fitting a huge, messy life into a couple of hours (plus intermission).
Jones, a charismatic force of nature himself, is struggling with notions of representation, authenticity, and Fela's less salutary character traits (notably his sexism). How much of the real Fela can a Broadway audience handle? The question propels the early scenes, but at a certain point Gibney just forks off from the backstage drama to investigate the story on his own.
That story, if you don't know it, is one of the great sagas of post-WWII world-music culture: how a Nigerian kid from a wealthy family incorporated James Brown funk, Yoruba chanting, and insanely tight horn charts into a music that united sub-Saharan Africa into one giant post-colonial dance party. How weed, women, and politics turned Fela into a unique figure: a dangerous radical hedonist. How he and his entourage literally seceded from Nigeria into his Lagos compound, and how Fela responded to the ensuing raid by taking the coffin containing the body of his mother — herself a legendary activist — to the steps of the local military barracks. (He also wrote the searing "Coffin for Head of State.") How Fela died of a disease in a country too scared to talk about it.
Gibney lays out the full picture, availing himself of terrific concert footage, archival materials, and interviews with Fela's colleagues and family members (including eldest son and musical heir Femi Kuti). The portrait that emerges is of a larger-than-life personality who seems to have been closer to those who didn't know him than those who did. (Again, much like Brown.)
Why didn't Fela become a superstar in the US, as Bob Marley did in the 1970s? That's easy: Fela's music, whether with Afrika '70 or the even more politicized Egypt 80, specialized in awesome groove rather than melody, with songs rolling on like a river for eight minutes, 15, 30. "Which three minutes of that 28 do you want me to put on the radio?" a label executive is quoted as asking the singer's American manager.
Gibney is wedded to the framing structure of his film, which keeps bringing "Finding Fela!" back to "Fela!" the stage production, even when you'd rather stick to the real deal. Ironically, the one area the documentary short-shrifts is Fela's music: how it was made, its elements and influences, the interlocking nature of its parts. The early songs are a celebration; the later music is a weapon. It would be nice to get more of both, but for that there are the reissued CDs, not to mention this film's soundtrack, a decent sampler.
Without coming out and saying as much, "Finding Fela!" explores the purpose of biography itself — whether we use it to earnestly ennoble or dispassionately record. Despite occasional misgivings, Jones erred on the side of the former with his musical, and Gibney ends up doing the same with his film. But once you hear Fela's music, how can you blame them? How can you not dance along?
