Refinancing Options
Refinancing your current home loan can offer you the benefit of restructuring your current monthly payment and net you savings in the short term and long term.
When you decide to refinance your current home mortgage loan, you have different options to consider. To help determine which options are best, you should determine what you want to achieve with the refinance.
Do you want to:
- Lower your interest rate?
- Do a cash out refinance?
- Refinance to restructure debt from other credit sources to benefit from lower interest rates and tax advantages?
You may have other reasons that will motivate your decision to refinance. In each situation, consider options to:
Lower Your Payments
Are your refinance goals to lower your rate and consequently your mortgage payments?
A low, fixed rate loan may be the ideal option for you.
Do you have an ARM (Adjustable Rate Mortgage) or a fixed mortgage with a high rate? Those are loans that you might want to refinance. Right now, with interest rates are still very low. By refinancing you can lock in a new loan at today's lower rate. This can give you benefits now and in future years as interest rates adjust higher.
When interest rates rise, a fixed-rate mortgage will remain at the same, low interest rate. In contrast, an ARM's interest rates fluctuate over the life of the loan.
A fixed-rate mortgage is particularly a wise option if you don't think you'll be selling your home within the next five years or so.
If you do plan to sell your home more quickly, you should consider an ARM with a low initial rate in order to achieve lower payments.
Both loan types offer benefits to the borrower. The Premiere Financial team will go over your details to help you decide which loan is the best to achieve lower monthly payments.
Getting Out some Cash
Are you wanting to cash out some of your home equity in your refinance?
Maybe your home needs renovating; your daughter has gone to college and needs tuition; or you have a special family vacation planned.
A Cash Out Refinance is a loan higher than the balance remaining of your current mortgage loan. In this case, if your interest rate is currently high and you have held it for a long time, you could be able to reach your goals without a rise in your mortgage payment.
Debt Consolidation
Do you want to cash out some equity (cash out) to put toward other debt?
If you have enough equity, paying toward other debt with higher interest that your home loan (credit cards or home equity loans, for example) could be able to save you a lot of money every month.
Getting a Shorter Term Loan
Are you hoping to fatten up your home equity faster, and get your mortgage paid off more quickly?
Contact us to find out about refinancing to a short term mortgage loan – such as a fifteen-year mortgage loan.
Although your monthly payments will probably be increased, you can save on interest; so your home equity will build up faster.
Conversely, if your existing longer term loan has a low balance remaining, and was closed a number of years ago, you could be able to make the move without paying more each month.
To help you understand your options and the multiple benefits in refinancing, please contact us at 760-930-0325. Our mortgage financing experts can match you with the refinance loan program that will help you reach your goals!

Great film, from back in the day
So many roads...........So little time......
overland and classic
Good isn't it
Colin Ward is still a v good centre rider still riding a TY250 Mono which is 30 years old
He's just been crowned the Aircooled Mono British Expert Champion for 2016
So many roads...........So little time......
Enjoyed that as well, some top names there
" England is no longer a place for a young man, it crawls with greed and corruption. It is governed by charlatans and profiteers who think more of their pockets than they do of their principles "
Oliver Cromwell 1640
Brilliant event - we last went in, how can I say this, 1979; as a spectator I hasten to add.
My Trials riding was only ever at Local Centre Clubman level - packed up years back when injuries started to get in the way of my job. Alway jealous of the skills of these guys.
We then switched to following Car Rallys, in my VW Westie, until Group B was banned - never the same after that.
Happy Days ..................... KEN
So many roads...........So little time......
Just bought a tyz from Fort William area .
Got the trio of 250 ty now , twin shock, mono and now the tyz .
Still fancy a 175 twin shock.
I havnt rode a trial on it, have done a couple off road days on it,and loaned it to a friend a couple of times.
It rides well and has plenty of grip, more than the 4rt .
I still prefer the ty250 for the odd trial I do, probably cos the lack of brakes makes you pay attention
So many roads...........So little time......

Raw Chocolate Rum Balls
Michelle, a regular participant at my classes, has done a 360 with her lifestyle including regular exercise and healthier eating habits. Her gift to me last year were these wonderful raw rum balls. The recipe is from Simply Raw Kitchen by Natasha Kyssa
- 3 cups dry almonds
- 3/4 maple syrup
- 1 cup raw cacao powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 tbsp dark rum or triple that 😉
- 1/4-1/2 cup cacao nibs, coarsely ground
In food processor, process almonds until flour like. Add ground almonds to mixing bowl. Stir in remainder of ingredients, except ground cacao nibs, and mix to combine well. Form into balls and roll into cacao nibs.
Try these other YUMMY treats…

In my quest for cleaner eating, I found Upayanaturals and they ship right to your door …very convenient!
Here are the following items that I buy for them.
o Almond and other nut butters (raw and organic)
o Hemp seeds
o Lucuma powder
o Goji berries (Heaven Mountain from Ron Teeguarden are the BEST I have ever tasted)
o Maca
o Organic cacao nibs
o Organic cinnamon (it's the best)
o Organic unsweetened shredded coconut , coconut butter, coconut oil
o Organic vanilla
o Pumpkin seeds
o Raw cacao powder
o Raw cashews, actually all of my nuts come from here(which I soak and rehydrate why? Nuts have enzyme inhibitors so soaking gets rid of them (then I like them crunchy so I rehydrate)
o Himalayan Salt
o Stevia
o Sun Warrior Protein Powder
o Vitamineral Greens (to add a super charge to your smoothies and can even add to your chocolate recipes – start with a 1/4tsp and increase from there – let your taste buds adjust)

'Raavan' takes $11.7 mil at opening
Early take considered disappointing for star-studded filmNEW DELHI -- Reliance Big Pictures' "Raavan" collected 530 million rupees ($11.7 million) from its three language versions during its June 18 opening, on 2,200 screens worldwide.
While the Hindi version collected 380 million rupees, the southern Indian language versions in Tamil collected 110 million rupees, while the Telugu version garnered 40 million rupees.
Starring Bollywood's real-life it-couple actor Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, along with top southern Indian actor Vikram in his first Hindi film, "Raavan" is helmed by acclaimed director Mani Ratnam and offers a modern-day take on the Indian epic "Ramayana."
Following a red carpet London premiere, the film received better reviews overseas than from domestic critics, and opened at the 11th position on the U.K. boxoffice charts, collecting £122,284 (US$180,222), while in the U.S. it notched the 15th position collecting $480,703.
But Mumbai-based film journalist and boxoffice analyst Taran Adarsh said that "the tremendous hype and the lavish praises haven't translated into excellent figures. Given the extensive release in the international arena, the opening weekend business is extremely disappointing in the three major oversas markets, U.K., U.S. and Australia."
Compared to "Raavan," another major release UTV Motion Pictures' ensemble political drama, "Raajneeti," saw a better opening weekend, collecting $13.7 million from 2,200 screens worldwide following its June 4 release.
Reliance Big Pictures' parent Reliance Big Entertainment recently acquired a majority stake in Los Angeles-based sales company IM Global, which has been marketing RBP's recent titles "3 Idiots," "Kites" and "Raavan," targeting mainstream audiences beyond the diaspora.

Tooth Sensitivity is one of the most common dental problems involving a sudden pain in teeth when encountering substances and temperatures. The level of irritation felt however greatly varies between people and depends largely on the causes of the problem.
Anyone who has noticed unexpected shock of discomfort while eating or drinking something hot, cold or sweet, or even at times when brushing their teeth, knows the frustration that the condition can cause. According to a recent study, at least 40 million adults suffer from sensitive teeth in the United States alone.
Various causes of dental sensitivity contribute to the extent and duration of the pain. Generally, the exposure of the dentine, the softer part of a tooth from loss enamel gives rise to the problem. Dentine is more porous and communities with the nerve on the inside, which is usually protected by enamel to prevent nerve stimulation. As the enamel and dentine is the thinnest at the gum line, therefore the suffering can be felt most acutely at the site.
Causes of Tooth Sensitivity
A variety of factors can cause your teeth to be sensitive, including the following:
- Poor oral hygiene that encourages plaque and tartar build-up
- Brushing too hard can wear down enamel causing gum recession and dentine to be exposed
- Periodontal (gum) disease exposing the root dentine which is not protected by enamel
- Cracked teeth can become filled with films of bacteria and can lead to abscess, infection and inflammation in the pulp of the tooth
- Teeth grinding can wear down enamel
- Tooth-whitening products that have harsh chemical content to remove stains, but can also remove the enamel
- Long-term use over-the-counter mouthwashes that contain acids making existing tooth sensitivity worse and bringing further damage to the dentin layer (Go for neutral fluoride mouthwashes instead)
- Consuming high amount of acidic foods that can encourage enamel erosion
- Certain dental procedures including fillings, root planning, crown placement and professional cleaning. The post-operative pain will go away in four to six weeks
How to Treat Sensitive Teeth?
There are several treatments and adjustment plans that you can do to help stop not only the pain but the root cause of the condition as well. If the cause is from dentin being exposed, you can try the following At-Home treatments to reduce the sensitivity.
- Use a very soft bristle tooth brush
- Always go for low abrasive tooth paste specially formulated to provide relief to the nerve endings in the tooth
- Use high concentration fluoride toothpaste and mouthwash daily to strengthen the tooth surface
- Be gentle – Do not brush hard or over brush
- Consider getting a mouth guard to avoid teeth grinding
- Avoid highly acidic foods
If the sensitivity persists more than a few days, it may be the sign of something more serious. In such cases of severe, unremitting pain, only a dental professional can help you. We encourage you to contact our knowledgeable dentists in Grand Prairie to schedule an appointment, who might recommend the following In-Office procedures to alleviate the tooth pain.
- If the cause of tooth sensitivity is cavity, a restoration can be placed and if gum disease is the source, the dentist may recommend thorough cleaning of the area
- Fluoride varnish can be applied on the exposed areas to strengthen and the enamel and dentin
- Fluoride foam or gel may be placed into a mouth tray for 3-5 minutes to deliver high concentration of fluoride
- Lastly, bonding agent may also be used to seal the dentin surface

Blog: Christmas Truths
The moment the magic of Christmas is broken11-12-2012
I'm in denial that there will come a time that my children will not believe in Father Christmas although I'm pretty sure the eldest is showing signs of suspicion this year.
Last night we had an unprompted Q&A session about the red-suited man that shows the secret may soon be discovered... how does he fit down the chimney, especially as we don't have one?, how does he visit everyone's homes in just one night?, why is there a Lego fire station kit hidden in your bedroom cupboard... can't Santa fit it on his sleigh?
Recently a teacher at a Dorset primary school told a room of eight-year-olds that there was no such thing as Father Christmas and received strong criticism from parents who felt that the kids were not quite ready to learn the truth.
Headteacher Simon Adorian admitted to the Daily Mail that the teacher had rather misjudged the impact of his revelation after one pupil raised the question about whether ii is possible for one man to really deliver all the presents.
"He responded clumsily and didn't do his best," said the headteacher.
"He was asked whether he existed and responded in a way, and with a look, that gave them doubt.
"He made a mistake, but we have covered it up, just as you do with children and they haven't asked about it anymore."
Of course some parents don't like to encourage a belief in the father figure of Christmas. Even Brad Pitt told E!News last month that he felt the whole Father Christmas myth is the ultimate betrayal by parents.
I'm not sure why I'm so worried about the children realising the truth, is it because they will discover I've been lying all these years or do I think it will make Christmas less special?
To be honest I'm starting to think that I'm afraid they are growing up too fast. First they realise about Santa, then what next? University, marriage, children...

Road teams laid low for most of Round 22, but as Friday drew to a close they ambushed their hosts with a pair of monumental victories that could reverberate for the rest of the season. Check out all that happened with the EuroLeague Gurus as your guide.
We are used to seeing him make one spectacular dunk after another, often in the same game. Jan Vesely's combination of length, athleticism and aggressiveness often mean that he's as likely to be seen swinging from the rim as anywhere on the basketball court. And true enough, when Brose Bamberg got so close to Fenerbahce Dogus Istanbul with 5 minutes left on Friday that Zeljko Obradovic had to call a timeout, Vesely returned to form. He rammed his team's next miss with two-handed ferocity, then sprinted behind Brad Wanamaker on a fastbreak to flush a Statue of Liberty dunk.
But this time those slams were deceiving. Until then, Vesely's only grab of the rim came on a one-handed put-back dunk early in the game. In between, he was busy showing an assortment of offensive talent he doesn't usually get credit for: a spin and bank shot, a jump hook, a tip-in that required great touch, a driving layup, a sweet jumper just inside the three-point line. Before his late dunks, Vesely made 7 of 10 two-point shots , and each was different from the previous one.
What's more, he went to the free throw line and hit 8 of 10 attempts. And the news there is that it's no longer news when Vesely makes free throws. His tough night at the Final Four two years ago is history. His free throw accuracy has risen 25% in the two years to its current 69.4%, which is more than respectable for a center.
We forget that Vesely was once a three-point threat, hitting 40% and 35.7% from downtown, respectively, in his second and third EuroLeague seasons with Partizan Belgrade. He's in no danger of becoming a pick-and-pop specialist at Fenerbahce, where his has tried just 7 triples in four seasons. But to think of Vesely as a one-trick dunker on offense is short-sighted.
His 26 points on Friday were the second most of his 161-game EuroLeague career, as were his 8 offensive rebounds, and his performance index rating of 36 was his career high. He couldn't have timed his great game better as Fenerbahce otherwise struggled to find any rhythm against Bamberg. That Vesely could turn into a go-to scorer is not a total surprise. But that he did it as a move-maker and free throw shooter, with just three dunks, is worth remembering when the biggest games of the season roll around.
Crvena Zvezda mts Belgrade registered a no-doubt-about-it win over the visiting AX Milan on Friday night, keeping alive its playoff chances. It was Zvezda's fourth win in as many tries against Milan over the last two season, and this one at the Aleksandar Nikolic Hall in the Serbian capital was an offensive fest. Zvezda made more than 60% of its two-point shots last night and connected on half of its three-point attempts (9-for-18). Milan had even better percentages, 62.2% for two, and 52.9% for three, but Zvezda attempted 11 more and made 6 more two-point shots than Milan. The hosts scored 50 points in each half, and did so mainly thanks to a 31-21 rebounding advantage and dominance on the offensive glass.
Throughout the 40 minutes, Zvezda has missed only 28 field goal attempts, but still managed to pull down 14 offensive rebounds – a 50% rate. Moreover, Zvezda had 9 offensive boards that led to 13 second-chance points in the first half. For the night, Zvezda finished with a massive 17 second-chance points. Even more impressively was its efficiency, because every single time Zvezda grabbed an offensive board in the first two quarters, it led to a basket.
The leader of Zvezda's effort was big man Mathias Lessort, an invaluable source of energy, who pulled down 6 offensive rebound and a total of 10 boards in only 20 minutes on the floor. It was the first double-digit rebounding night of his debut EuroLeague season and Lessort's first double-double in the competition. His performance assures that Lessort is the only EuroLeague player who averages more than 3 offensive rebounds per game, and it helped Zvezda climb atop of the leaderboard in that department, too. Such numbers speak as a whole lot about this team. Zvezda might end up on the outside looking in as far as the playoffs race goes, but this much-improved squad with its never-give-up attitude is not an opponent anyone wants to face on the final stretch of the regular season.
For once, league leading scorer Alexey Shved was not the key factor as his Khimki Moscow Region team kept alive its hopes of climbing into the top four of the standings with a 74-84 road victory over Zalgiris Kaunas. Shved certainly played his part, scoring a joint game-high 20 points, including 13 during a spectacular 1-20 second-quarter run which turned the game firmly in his team's direction after a slow start. But there was still plenty of work to be done at that stage, with Zalgiris heading into the locker room with a one-point lead despite that second-period pummelling. Ultimately, though, the truly decisive factor in the outcome was the superb defensive effort produced by Khimki in the second half, restricting Zalgiris to just 30 points after the break – 15 in each quarter. Even more significantly, a big chunk of those points came from the free throw line, with the home team managing to make just 8 field goals in the whole of the second half.
After the game, Khimki coach Georgios Bartzokas explained that his team's outstanding defensive work was based on a specific strategy: "We focused on using a switching defense to stop the creation of [Kevin] Pangos, who usually has a lot of assists but today only had two. We also didn't want to give [Arturas] Milaknis open threes."
And that plan certainly worked, because Pangos only scored 1 free throw in the second half while long-range scoring ace Milaknis – who came into the game averaging 2.4 three-pointers per game – was held scoreless for the first time since Round 9. Pangos, indeed, was the man who had the best opportunities to drag Zalgiris towards victory, taking on three-point attempts on three separate occasions in the final 4:05, all of which would have either tied the game or sent his team ahead. But by that time the Canadian playmaker had been buffeted so badly out of rhythm by Khimki's excellent defense that he missed all three, and a late flurry of points from Tyler Honeycutt allowed the Russian team to take back its third road win in four.
Olympiacos Piraeus arrived to Madrid after three consecutive road losses against Baskonia Vitoria Gasteiz, Khimki Moscow Region and Crvena Zvezda mts Belgrade by a combined margin of 71 points. A convincing home win against Fenerbahce Dogus Istanbul got Olympiacos back on the right track, but Madrid entered this game with the opposite momentum, boasting a five-game winning streak at WiZink Center.
For years, Olympiacos has relied on Vassilis Spanoulis to make the difference in close games, but the three-time Final Four MVP finished the game scoreless and had a performance index rating of -6, his worse since Game 1 of the 2014-15 EuroLeague playoffs. Great on-the-ball defense by Fabien Causeur, Facu Campazzo and especially Jeffery Taylor managed to deactivate Spanoulis with a very accurate game plan. But Olympiacos proved to be more than a one-man show. All-EuroLeague forward Georgios Printezis stepped up with 21 points, Janis Strelnieks took over the point guard duties, finishing the game with 11 points, 7 assists and a couple of clutch plays down the stretch. In general, everyone contributed – even Spanoulis, who had 5 assists and drew 4 fouls.
The game went down to small details, three in particular. With Madrid up 73-70, Felipe Reyes drew an unsportsmanlike foul, but missed both free throws and kicked the ball right after his second attempt, which cost him a technical foul. Strelnieks hit that foul shot and Printezis buried a triple on the possession that came with it. From a potential seven-point lead, Madrid was now down by one against a team that makes the most out of every opportunity. Second, Madrid had the game's final possession but Olympiacos's suffocating defense made the difference in crunch time. The hosts could not even get a shot up in time. Third, Madrid missed as many as 10 free throws, which is always a problem when you lose by one.
In the end, Olympiacos walked away with a win and things look good for the Reds. They are in second place at 14-7 and have 2-0 records against Madrid and Fenerbahce Dogus Istanbul, two of its direct opponents not only to lock up a playoffs spot, but to get the home-court advantage in those best-of-five series.

Seems to me the only animal life we got round these parts with any sense of cleanliness or goodliness be my dog, Sabretooth. My social worker say he a calmin' influence. Even so, he hates them bedbugs with a bitterness, and he always helpin' Mum with her cleanin', with a enthusiasm that ain't always to be recommended. Read this, you see what I'm gettin' at, yeah?
Hoover Dog
My Mum's obsessed with cleanliness, exterminating dirt.
If you eatin' bread or biscuits, she's always on alert.
But if crumbs fall on the carpet, without a millisecond's pause,
my dog's there to assist her, with his litter-pickin' jaws.
If you eatin' crisps and drop one, he's on it with one bound –
my dog Sabretooth – what a Hoover of a hound.
He's like a street cleaner, collectin' litter with a stick,
but instead of spikin' chicken wrap, he slurp it with one lick.
He'll nibble every napkin, stick his snout in every tin.
My dog so conscientious, he'll even clean the bin.
He smashed the competition for The Cleanest Dog in Town –
my dog Sabretooth – what a Hoover of a hound.
Obsessively, compulsively, he'll suck up every crumb.
I seen him snaffle birdseed, I seen him chewin' gum.
I seen him eat up cat sick, the hottest vindaloo.
Once he wolfed a bar of soap and did not even chew.
He love to keep his belly full with his sniffer to the ground –
my dog Sabretooth – what a Hoover of a hound.
But such a neat and tidy dog's less hygienic than you'd think,
cos when grub's too tough to stomach, it make an evil stink.
It deadly to get wind of it, it better left unshared,
cos when Sabretooth's got flatulence, not one of us is spared.
It's not for what he Hoovers up that Sabretooth's renowned,
but what he blows out of his bottom – what a tooter of a hound.

Today I'm going to share all the information about a trip that we took last year. It was a cruise to Alaska and it was so much fun. Interesting thing about a cruise to Alaska is I've heard 2 things that correspond with an Alaskan trip and that's, number 1, the people that I've ever met that did a cruise to Alaska said it's one of their favorite trips they ever took. Number 2, I've met a lot of people that a cruise to Alaska was on their bucket list.
I want to cover some of the things that we enjoyed and give you some little tips and tricks if you ever do plan on visiting Alaska. Also, I want to give a shout-out to my in-laws and my wife's parents [Helene and Tom Perretti] after we did our cruise to Alaska and heard how much we liked it they actually did the cruise and I believe they really enjoyed it as well.
First of all, we went aboard the Golden Princess, which is a nice ship. It is definitely a more mature crowd aboard the Golden Princess. If you're looking for a young party ship, clubbing and all that stuff, you're really not going to find it on the Golden Princess. You're going to find a more sophisticated upscale crowd because this isn't your $99 booze cruise. We took some of our top salespeople with us on this cruise and there were 6 of us and we had an absolute blast.
The Ports on our Cruise to Alaska
Let me get to the fun parts: In Juneau we did the whale watching and wildlife tour. It was awesome. We saw my guess would be at least 50 whales and hundreds of sea lions. I would highly, highly, highly suggest that you have lunch at Tracy's King Crab Shack. We even stopped by the Red Dog Saloon where we're told Chuck Norris hangs out sometimes. We did not see him, but there was some really cool music and it's a really, really neat atmosphere.
Then our next port was Skagway. We did the helicopter tour to land on a glacier. There's nothing like it really. What's interesting is when we landed on this glacier it looks like dirty ice and they're like, "We'll pick you up in 45 minutes." I'm thinking, "What are we going to do for 45 minutes?" However, when we started walking around, we discovered caverns, these deep amazing caverns with underground waterfalls with the deepest blue I have ever seen in my entire life. I'm talking about a blue that's bluer than any blue you've ever seen and it's so beautiful. It really is breathtaking. If you go to Skagway, absolutely 100% do the helicopter tour to the glacier.
Then we went to Ketchikan. Ketchikan is known as the salmon capital of the world and so we went salmon fishing. My wife did catch the biggest salmon and she is very proud of that. It was a lot of fun, a really unique experience and it's also a cool little town there as well. I would suggest go salmon fishing if you go to Ketchikan because that's the thing to do.
Then the cruise went through Glacier Bay. For those that may not know, Glacier Bay isn't a port necessarily. It is really an alleyway of glaciers and it is amazing. It's where you get the chance to see what they call calving and that is where large chunks of ice break off from the glacier. I've seen it in videos online but to see it in person was awesome.
Our final stop was in Victoria, Canada. This was really, really nice. We had a great dinner at a place called Spinnakers. If you do end up going to Victoria, make sure you stop in at Spinnakers.
The cruise to Alaska was definitely a peak-like experience especially the whole whale watching and landing on the glacier in Skagway.
If you want assistance in locating the best vacation package for Alaska, feel free to reach out to us. You can email my wife, firstname.lastname@example.com and we'd be more than happy to pull up some options for you. Hope you got benefit from this article and here's to you seeing the world!

Swenson Captures Mid-Amateur Championship, Capson in the Classic
CALDWELL- The third and final round of the Men's Mid-Amateur Championship and Classic was played Sunday. TimberStone Golf Course played host to the tournaments and proved a formidable test for the competitors.
In the Mid-Amateur Championship, three golfers began the day at under par, Alan Barnhardt, Brian Swenson, and Chris Reinke. The three had separated themselves from the rest of the field in the first and second rounds. Barnhardt, who led following the first and second round, was the first to falter and fall down the leaderboard. Barnhardt's first tee shot flew out of bounds and was never able to recover, finishing two-over on the championship. While Barnhard was slipping down the leaderboard Daniel Stewart and Jesse Hibler were firing away and moving up. Both Hibler and Stewart shot five-under in the final round, Stewart finishing at three-under and Hibler at one-under. Chris Reinke started hot with a three-under front nine, but with a 40 on the back Reinke finished the championship at two-under. Brian Swenson began his day sitting at third. Swenson was able to outlast the charges of Hibler and Stewart by shooting a one-under. Swenson's championship total of six-under was enough to take home the 2017 Mid-Amateur Championship. Swenson was a member of the winning Idaho PNGA Cup team, which was played at TimberStone earlier this year. For the entire leaderboard of the Championship visit the tournament page HERE.
As for the Classic Tournament, there was not the movement in the leaderboard which we saw in the championship. Doug Capson entered the final round with a three-shot lead. Capson did not simply cruise to a victory on Sunday, he fired a four-over. Capson's 76 was the lowest score tallied in all of the classic. His final round pushed his final lead to eleven-strokes to claim the 2017 Mid-Amateur Classic title. For the entire leaderboard of the Classic view the tournament page HERE.
The women's tournament was 36-holes and finished on Saturday. With three past champions in the field of the Women's Mid-Amateur Championship the players knew they would have to perform to come away with the title. Karen Darrington came into the final round with a two-shot lead above Kareen Markle. Darrington was not quick out of the gate in the second and final round of the championship, tallying a six-over 42. With Markle shooting 40 on the front the two past champions were tied going into the back nine. The two both went two-over on holes ten through seventeen. With the championship on the line on the eighteenth hole Markle was able to make a par. But, Darrington was able birdie the par four to seal her third straight victory of the championship. Darrington's three titles ties Markle for the most in championship history. For the full results of the championship visit the tournament page HERE.

The new ScienceofSpeed Individual Throttle Body System is an evolution of the ultimate induction system for the NSX. Redesigned and refined for 2011, the system offers the best performance, reliability, and drivability of any system at any price.
Individual throttles allow high speed throttle response and increase in power by reducing pumping loss from a conventional intake system.
Unlike other systems that are designed only for race applications, the design was refined incorporating several factory individual throttle body features that make the ScienceofSpeed individual throttle system the only suitable solution for both race and street applications.
factory quality design:The ScienceofSpeed system has integrated the factory idle air control valve to provide excellent idle quality, previously unknown to aftermarket individual throttle systems. The idle air control valve as well as the vacuum distribution system is integrated into the system's support structure neatly hiding these components in the V of the engine. The linkage design has also been improved to offer easy installation and maintenance. Unlike other systems, the ScienceofSpeed system retains the factory throttle cable for easy installation and uses turnbuckle style linkages and sealed ball joints for easy setup and reliability.
Included fuel rail brackets are available for either 60mm installed height injectors (Bosch 60mm / RC Engineering) or 48mm installed height injectors (Bosch 48mm / Injector Dynamics w/o adaptors). Please specify which injectors will be used when ordering. Customers with lowered rear chassis braces (like Okuyama/Carbing) must used 48mm installed height injectors for clearance.
System is not designed for emissions controlled vehicles. For off-road applications only.

Seems like I get my wish: 36mm of rain so far, and it looks like settling in for the night. Hooray!
Just went out to feed the Chickens (and check the rain gauge) and the ground is only just starting to get squishy-wet, so more rain will be very welcome. Looking back in my Garden Book, the last decent rain was on 5 March -- 2½ months ago! Too long.
Update 21 May 2007 16:43: Its bitterly cold and still bucketting down; rain should continue until tomorrow morning, and dams are starting to look a bit healthier.

Conditions could not have been more poor for my daughter Megan's first deer season last year. Extremely high winds and rain kept deer movement at a standstill throughout the opening weekend of the Minnesota rifle season, and as Thursday morning dawned, the nine-day hunt was already winding down. With only four days left to hunt, my wife Kim decided to hunt that morning before school, so she and Megan left the house in the pre-dawn darkness and made their way across our property. A blind watching over a lush field of Tall Tine Tubers in the corner of our 75 acres was their destination, and that proved to be a wise decision.
Glancing at her watch, Kim whispered to our 10-year-old daughter that they'd have to start packing up as they had to head back to the house in a few minutes if they were going to make it to school on time. No sooner had the words left her mouth than movement at the edge of the woods caught their eyes. A fat young buck trotted from cover and into the field of turnips in front of them and dropped his head to feed. Megan eased her .243 onto the shooting sticks and took careful aim at the buck 60 yards away. When the little gun barked, the buck exploded from the field and disappeared back into the heavy timber. His flight would be a short one, though, as Megan had made a perfect double-lung shot, putting the fat 7-pointer down in a matter of seconds, and making one little girl and her parents as proud as can be. Food plots played an integral part in the success of my daughter's first deer season, as they likewise did for my son Ryan during his first hunt, when he dropped two big does from the same blind along the same field planted with the very same Tall Tines Tubers just three years earlier. As we field-dressed Megan's buck, I couldn't help but think about how food plots have greatly improved deer and deer hunting. They have led to more deer, more bucks, bigger bucks and better hunting opportunities, and I regularly hunt along or adjacent to food plots across the whitetail's range from Canada down to Texas. Thinking about my own food plot successes and failures during the past handful of years, I couldn't help but notice some common themes developing, so I decided to quiz some other hardcore deer hunters and managers to see if these habits worked on other lands as well. What I came up with are the habits of successful food plotters. The first step was to contact and visit with some other serious land managers, a task that isn't too difficult anymore because more avid whitetail hunters practice deer management. For this article, I chatted with Kale Graham, Derek Revering and Michael Vaughn, and drew conclusions from my experiences. Together, the four of us manage almost 4,000 acres of prime whitetail habitat, and after researching the issue, it became clear that certain habits were virtually universal.
Testing, 1, 2, 3
The first step to a successful food plot is to get your soil tested, period. Simply going out and planting seeds will rarely cut it. Your local farmer's elevator can do the job, but I prefer to get soil test kits from the Whitetail Institute because they're in the business of growing and managing whitetails, and I get the results back quicker and the recommendations made are easier to understand. Soil testing is quick and easy, but make sure to follow the recommendations and heed the advice of the professionals when it comes to improving your plots.
Variety is the Spice of Life
Different food plot offerings provide the deer herd protein, nutrients and other essentials in various degrees throughout the year, so if possible don't just plant just one type of seed. Offer deer a smorgasbord they can use to their advantage all year, and your herd will benefit.
Preparation is the Key
What I've found in the past couple of years is that seedbed preparation is crucial to having top-notch food plots. Simply, if the seed you plant does not have good seed-to-soil contact it will be less likely to give you a great-looking plot that's full of deer, and the best tool for the job is a cultipacker. A cultipacker is nothing more than a heavy roller that firms up the soil and presses your seed down tight to the dirt. This is especially important for small seeds such as clover or brassicas. If I'm planting these offerings, I roll my food plot before broadcasting the seed and then roll again to achieve optimum soil contact. Some of my group of land managers use a cultipacker, and others use some type of drag system, but the consensus was clear: Seed bed preparation is vitally important.
Pump Up Your Plots
Fertilizing your perennial plots once or twice a year in the spring and/or fall is highly recommended. To make sure you add exactly what is needed and don't waste money on unnecessary nutrients, do a soil test prior to applying fertilizer. Again, it's important to enlist the help of the experts at your local elevator or the Whitetail Institute to learn exactly what fertilizer you need to put on your food plots and how much you need to apply.
Size Matters
When laying out your food plot strategy, the physical size of your plots is an important consideration. Destination plots, those intended to maximize your herd's food availability throughout the year, are by necessity much larger than hunting plots. All of us agree that a well managed property will have destination plots as well as hunting plots, which are much smaller in size and more strategically located so as to attract those big bucks during daylight. I like my larger food sources to be anywhere from two to five acres, and I keep my hunting plots at an acre or less to better allow me to cover the setup with my longbow. These sentiments were echoed throughout the group.
Mow 'em Down
Occasional mowing is part of the maintenance plan for perennials such as Imperial Whitetail Clover, Chicory Plus, Edge, Extreme and Alfa-Rack Plus. Mowing the plants not only helps keep weed intrusion to a minimum but also stimulates new growth, which is highly attractive to deer. Generally, I like to mow just as the plants are maturing but before they go to seed. This keeps my fields staying lush and green and full of deer. And this also helps prevent weeds from seeding out which would create much more competition in the future. NOTE: Do not mow when it is hot and dry.
Sunset Rendezvous
As far as actual hunting habits, all of us agree that hunting over an actual food plot is pretty much an evening affair. Morning hunts are difficult because deer will likely be in the plots as you access your stands, and spooking the deer off the fields will simply make them more nocturnal. Slipping in quietly several hours before sunset is your best bet when actually sitting over the food plots, but caution is still a key, and entrance and exit plans should be well thought out. Getting in usually isn't a problem, but sneaking away without spooking deer as you leave is definitely beneficial. Kale uses trimmers and rakes to clear a silent walking path that keeps him out of the fields and away from the deer. All of us agree that hunting right on the food source is best early in the season when deer are still in their relaxed summer patterns, or late in the season when food becomes of paramount importance.
The Stage is Set
My favorite hunting setups are actually in staging areas adjacent to but not actually on the food plot. Deer, especially trophy bucks, will stage up in heavy cover and often wait to enter the fields until full darkness settles in, so if you sit directly on a food source, you may only see does and fawns and immature bucks. Look for heavy cover that shows a lot of rubbing and scraping activity, and you will have found a staging area that your bucks are using regularly. My favorite setup paid off for me this past November when I was set up just inside heavy timber about 100 yards from a field of Tall Tines Tubers. An hour before dark, a doe led a record-class buck into the staging area, and a well-placed 8-yard shot from my longbow put the big deer down in short order. You might well see more deer sitting on the food plot itself, but for bigger bucks, set the stage in heavy cover nearby.
Funnel 'em In
Derek's favorite setups are often well away from the actual food plots, as he prefers to ambush big bucks in heavy cover on oak ridges and pinch points between the food sources. Bucks will use these travel ways as the pre-rut kicks in and they are cruising to look for hot does. Various doe groups will be using the food plots, so the bucks will use connecting funnels to check out each plot for prospective girlfriends. Often, the bucks will never show themselves on the food source during daylight, so these funnels can be the key to successful hunting. The food plots are still the draw, but just like with staging areas, your odds of success on more mature bucks increase when you set up back in heavy cover. Food plots and deer management have forever changed the way we hunt whitetails, and clearly for the better. If you want to improve the health of your deer herd and your success rate, start practicing these habits of successful food plotters.

MOONACHIE, N.J. -- Moonachie police made their 47th and 48th arrests of the year in Teterboro this year.
Officer Scott Lemongello smelled marijuana after stopping a vehicle on Green Street on Thursday, Detective Sgt. Anthony Fugnitti said Tuesday.
Asked if he had pot, 30-year-old Fabrizio German-Santana admitted that he did, Fugnitti said.
German-Santana was released on court summonses charging him with drug possession in a motor vehicle and not having a valid driver's license.
The 48th Teterboro arrest occurred Monday, when Officers John Bussanich and Kelly Ricardo picked up an accused shoplifter detained by security.
Krystall Candice Cox, 28, of Clifton was stopped in the Walmart parking lot with a shopping cart full of items worth $486, Fugnitti said.
She was also carrying two crack pipes and a hypodermic needle, he said.
Cox was released on summonses charging her with shoplifting and possessing drug paraphernalia.
Moonachie police made 45 Teterboro arrests all of last year.
Before Walmart and Costco opened in Teterboro, Moonachie police averaged seven to 14 arrests a year out of the southern end of the tiny borough. Staffing is a huge issue , all agree.

1000/483: 29 June 2011: Haldor Laxness, a photo by nmonckton on Flickr.
Halldor Laxness is a 20th century Icelandic author - the only Icelandic Nobel Laureate - who I first encountered on the way back from holiday in Iceland a couple of years ago. 'Under the Glacier' was a fairly short, and quite light, introduction to the weird world that is Laxness' Iceland of the 18th/19th century.
Iceland's bell is a considerably weightier read plotted a bit like an Icelandic saga, and written in a style that could perhaps be described as offhand Dickens - a mix of social commentary and detail written in such a casual way that it is almost black humour - but not quite.
You're left in no doubt that life was tough at the time - "His homecoming was as might be expected considering the dwellers there were either lepers or half-wits, if not both." but it's so bad it's almost Pythonesque.
The main characters include a good for nothing convicted murderer - although his guilt is always in doubt - a fair maiden, and an academic concerned only with Iceland's legacy and helping the poor receive justice whether they want it or not. There are a couple of 'leper with a trade' moments when criminals he has reprieved complain that no-one has sympathy with them any longer, but these are rather offset by, for example a convicted 'wizard' wishing that he could be beheaded rather than burned at the stake.
The plot wanders around Iceland, with the occaisional side trip to Denmark and is concerned largely with honour - Iceland's, the fair maiden's and the academics.
I could go on but I would eventually give away the plot so I'll shut up. Suffice to say I rather enjoyed it, but if you fancy giving Laxness a go I think 'Under the Glacier' would be an easier starting point.

Read and rate Travel Journal Entries for Hawthorne, California, United States
Aug 15, 2008 - I love L.A!
Ha aha ha ha ha! No I don't! It's a big, noisy, dirty city. But it's where most of my family lives, so until the Navy gets Tom's paperwork together, this is where we'll be. At least we're not too far from the beach. But I'm anxious to hit the road and start the real adventure! The longer we stay, the more hurried we'll be. Tom is anxious to see Joni and Ethan. I don't blame him. I'm anxious to see them- and Julie's family as well. Brianne and Preston will probably be gone by the time I get there, and that will be a big disappointment! Maybe...Jump to full entry

Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add the barley, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer 7 minutes; add the black-eyed peas and continue cooking until both the barley and black-eyed peas are tender, about 5 more minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water.
Whisk the olive oil, vinegar, mayonnaise, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste in a large bowl. Add the greens, ham, tomatoes, radishes, scallions, pickles, barley and black-eyed peas and toss. Divide among plates.

Hobby Area Lighting Improvements - Daylight LED Lamps
8 comments:
- Thor said...
The luminescence/warmth of the light makes all the difference in the world. Getting something that's daylight, a more pure white, to paint by changes everything.
That looks like a good light. I've also got a clamping light, and it is nice to have it out of the way, not taking up space.

Nice lamps. I have a couple of fold ups for nice photos and painting. My work station is portable (think a cutting mat) so I couldn't use these😔

- Zzzzzz said...
Just get a bigger house....
Loadsa room for lamps without clamps.
Easily justifiable to 'er indoors, "We need a bigger house to make more space for my hobbies".

Yeah it can make a huge difference.

Def a good upgrade. It really does make such a huge difference to painting, and does ease eye strain too I find. Those lamps look a good find. A decent price too

You can work on your tan while you paint. Hmm, wait a second. I could do with some vitamin d myself.

Hey there, I used to use a halogen daylight bulb in my lamp and that thing was hotter than hell and if you bumped it (in my case with my head) it would physically break or just fail. Since I switched to LED I have had no problems at all and the light it there instantly as there was a bit of a wait for the old Halogen to get up to full power.
I can't believe that I used to paint by an old yellow-ish filament bulb like a freakin mole person :)

Welcome to the Review of Shadowland Online! As is the trend in today's fast-paced gaming world, new browser MMOs, especially those with an RTS element attached, are appearing on our 'things-we-probably-need-to-play' radar almost every day. And with so many already established titles in the genre, some with huge development budgets and pre-existing brand exposure (The Settlers Online comes to mind), it's difficult for a new title to get into the spotlight.
That's usually where innovation comes in – a single, extraordinary feature is often all it takes to get ahead in this Game of MMOs; though, without it, the game is sometimes over before it's even begun. In the case of Shadowland Online, it's a little difficult to tell.
On its face, Shadowland Online is another typical resource management MMO. You start out by selecting a race/class template, then by selecting the type of units you want to use in battle. There's some great variety here, as the types of units you're able to choose are dependant on your initial race/class choice. A mercenary, for example, assumes the role of a pirate archetype, and as such the units available are stylised as buccaneers.
There's definitely innovation here, but not enough to make a mark. There's a nice blend of RPG elements that I found refreshing, but ultimately, these choices, at least in the beginning of the game, bear little impact on gameplay.
Speaking of gameplay, my initial impression was somewhat altered by the 'in-your-face' tutorial, which, as is the case with so many of these games, crams a ridiculous amount of information – most of which could have been easily discovered through a little harmless trial and error – into your head in the first 5 minutes, leaving you tired and confused before you begin playing.
This is often the problem when an MMORTS attempts to teach you everything before you had the chance to learn anything. In the case of Shadowland Online, this is more true than ever. Your first 10 minutes of play will consist largely of clicking where the yellow arrow tells you to click, and should you suffer from even the smallest case of TL;DR, you're likely to miss what you were supposed to be doing altogether.
That said, once the tutorial has been and gone, and you've had some time to fiddle around with the UI yourself, it's pretty easy to get an idea of what you should do – that is, upgrade your buildings, weapons, heroes and units, send them into automated combat, and simultaneously manage farms and gold mines to produce income (of which there are a lot of different types).
On the brighter side, the quest management system definitely gives you a decent understanding of what you should focus on next (though, it must be said that the quests offered lack any sort of intrigue at all), and the UI, while clearly dated, serves its purpose well – you won't get lost too often, and you'll generally know what you need to do.
Elsewise, Shadowland Online follows a lot of the same rules as its competitors. If you're willing to spend some real cash on Diamond Currency, you'll be able to increase the speed at which you upgrade your town and troops, thereby increasing how quickly you can progress. So far as I've been able to determine, there's no 'pay-to-win' mechanics in the early stages of the game.
Sadly, while Shadowland Online does enough right to be a contender in the genre, it, in the end, fails to innovate enough to make a splash. There's enough 'game' here to make for an enjoyable pastime – especially if you're interested in the fantasy setting and lore – but there are also better games done in the same style.Related: Fantasy, Review, RTS, Shadowland Online

This week while B was away for work, I piled the dog and kids into the trusty minivan and we took an impromptu trip to my Mom & Dad's cabin.
There were no video games, no cell phones, and no computers.....can you imagine??? It always amazes me how easily the kiddos can entertain themselves without all of the electronics when they don't have a choice.
Mmmmmmm S'mores!

Product 5/21
10 holders for naturally raised queen cells allowing them to be transferred to a queen less cell raising colony.
These queen cells can be produced where a frame of fresh eggs and larvae is removed from the donor colony and placed horizontally above the frames of a queen less cell raising colony. This will induce the bees to draw out queen cells and raise queens, which once capped, can be cut from this frame and placed within the holder.
Alternatively, the queen cells can be from where the bees have raised their own queens as part of the swarming cycle or through queen replacement.

When some poorly-mixed drinks, the dizzying thrills of Las Vegas, and a mix-up with a gangster threaten to tear your wolf pack apart, you've got a couple of options. You can roll over and try to sleep it off, or you can roll out of bed, spring into action, and start putting the pieces back together like Alan, here.
For all his ineptitude and social awkwardness, the guy's got the kind of heart and can-do spirit that you're going to need if you want to put things right after a legendary night of partying in the desert. And it takes a special kind of person to overcome a massive hangover and a crowbar to the face in order to make a cool $80,000 at the blackjack tables. He may not be allowed to come within 200 feet of a Chuck E. Cheese, but he knows when it's time to put the needs of others ahead of his own. Just ask little Carlos!
Alan may not have it all figured out. He may have a tendency to step on the gas when most people would hit the brakes. But he's the kind of guy who can do what needs to be done in times of crisis—and that's the kind of friend that most of us aspire to be. So we offer this awesome costume set as a hilarious tribute to one of the best groomsmen a guy could have, though we don't recommend imitating everything you see in the pictures!

New Delhi, Feb. 17 (Agencies): The Delhi high court on Friday directed the police to check the attacks on Uber and Ola drivers plying against the diktat of striking unions who want better conditions and incentives from the app cab companies.
Justice Rajiv Sahai Endlaw also told the drivers' unions of Ola and Uber to go for peaceful commercial negotiations instead of agitations.
"Joint Commissioner of Police (Traffic) or any other officer of equal rank nominated by Commissioner of Police is requested to forthwith ensure that drivers/owners having contract with plaintiffs (Ola and Uber) and wanting to ply are not stopped or blocked from plying and that their vehicles are not damaged," Justice Endlaw said.
Hundreds of drivers of Uber and Ola went on an indefinite strike on February 10 in Delhi and the National Capital Region to protest against the "low fares" and "lack" of basic amenities.
The striking unions, the judge said, must "get it out of their head" that they can "extract" something from these companies by agitations as they do with the government, since the companies can simply leave the city.
"You cannot demand anything from plaintiffs except by peaceful commercial negotiations," the court said, telling the two drivers' unions to change their mindset.
The direction to the police came after Ola and Uber said that willing drivers are being attacked despite the court's orders earlier this week restraining the two drivers' unions from blocking or interfering with their services.
The two unions, Sarvodaya Driver Association of Delhi and Rajdhani Tourist Drivers' Union, denied responsibility for such incidents of violence.
But the court noted that "if not by the defendants (SDAD and Rajdhani), then the incidents are happening at behest of the defendants as no one else would be interested in indulging therein".
The court said that if the unions were unhappy with the rates fixed by Ola and Uber, then they have other options, like running as black & yellow taxis.
The matter will be heard again on February 28.

Charlotte McKenna is a very famous British glamour model. She was born on April 10th, 1987 in Chichester, West Sussex. Charlotte got her start in modeling after she won FHM's coveted "High Street Honeys" competition in 2006. She then went on to place 31st and 59th on the magazine's 100 Sexiest Women list in 2007 and 2008 respectively.
Along with her work for FHM, which she has even appeared on the cover of, Charlotte also model's for the very popular U.K. men's magazine Zoo Weekly. In 2008, the writers for the magazine voted her butt (or "bum" as the Brits like to refer to it) as the best in the world.
In 2007, Charlotte, along with fellow British glamour models Casey Batchelor and Natalie Oxley, starred in a music video for Scottish rock band The Fratellis for their hit single "Flathead." This video put all of these women on the map her in the U.S., as it was a fairly popular song at the time.
Related Gallery: Which Country Has the Hottest Women?
While The Fratellis may have exposed Charlotte to the limelight here in the states, she was already very popular in the U.K. And her popularity only grew after making an ad for men's hygiene product Lynx (or Axe as we call it here). In the ad, Charlotte and another famous model by the name of Lucy Pinder sit on a couch together, and then come dangerously close to kissing each other before Pinder pulls away at the last second. It may not sound like much, but the seeing is truly believing.
Along with being a model, Charlotte is also a former gymnast. This makes her quite skilled at talents such as putting her legs behind her head (not that you would be interested in that sort of thing). Her flexibility came in handy during an FHM special photoshoot where her and several other female models were photographed in positions from the Kama Sutra. And at this point, we know that you've already left to search out those photos, so our work is done.

4 steps to better diabetes control in Colorado
When it comes to managing your diabetes, keeping track of your numbers, lifestyle habits, and medication may feel overwhelming sometimes. If you ever find that you're hard on yourself when things don't go perfectly, you're not alone. To help ease this struggle, Anna Cosyleon, MD, a Kaiser Permanente physician lead for diabetes and hypertension, says that balance is key.
"With diabetes," says Dr. Cosyleon, "People have a lot of self-blame. I try to take away the blame."
How 4 steps add up to a powerful approach
Dr. Cosyleon's approach is to teach patients these 4 basic steps. When applied together, she says the steps complement each other like the ingredients in a recipe.
"You don't make soup with just potatoes," says Dr. Cosyleon. "Expecting too much out of one ingredient results in an imbalanced product."
When you combine these steps, you get an empowering strategy that can make managing your diabetes much easier — and sometimes even fun.
1. Know your numbers
"If people know their blood glucose numbers, and what controlled blood glucose is, a sense of failure is replaced by a great sense of success when they make improvements," says Dr. Cosyleon.
2. Add activity
"You don't have to run a marathon," says Dr. Cosyleon. "Find something fun and run with it."
Take up salsa dancing, yoga, martial arts, or water aerobics. Download an activity app to your smartphone and track your progress.
3. Have fun with food
If it's "crunch" you crave, ditch chips for carrots and apples. If you have a sweet tooth, reach for fruit when it's time for dessert. Choose water infused with cucumber, mint, or citrus instead of sugar-sweetened beverages.
And try a new seasonal fruit or vegetable every month. It's a great way to surprise yourself with a new favorite.
4. Adopt a team mentality
Remember that you're not in this alone. Take a class, join a support group, or meet with a registered dietitian. See your personal physician regularly, and enlist your family to help you achieve your goals.
A story of success
At age 64, Frank La Sala of Longmont, Colorado is proof that a solid strategy can help you live well with diabetes. After joining Kaiser Permanente in 2015, he received an invitation to participate in the Diabetes: Learn to Take Charge class.
"That got me started," says La Sala. "Then I took the Healthy Connections class."
Those classes, plus a year-long weight loss program, helped La Sala build a strategy to manage his diabetes. His blood sugar is now under control, he's lost 20 pounds, and it's easier for him to get around.
"I'm the kind of person who needs someone to come alongside me and give me a jump-start," says La Sala. "I'm so glad Kaiser Permanente got me plugged in."
You can take charge just like Frank La Sala did. To find classes on diabetes, prevention, and nutrition available in your area, visit kp.org/classes.

Research interests and expertise
Postdoctoral researcher studying archaeal lipid production. Members of the Archaea (prokaryotes) have fundamentally different membrane lipids compared to life's other two domains (the Bacteria and Eukarya). The biosynthesis of several archaeal membrane lipids is still poorly understood, particularly the later steps. Using bioinformatic analysis, cultivation of model archaeal species, stable isotope probing and heterologous protein production I aim to gain new insight into the molecular details of archaeal membrane lipid production.
Previous research
I previously worked extensively on regulation of horizontal gene transfer in Alphaproteobacteria. Several members of this bacterial group, particularly the Rhodobacteracea produce gene transfer agents (GTAs). GTAs are small bacteriophage-like particles that appear to have evolved into vectors for horizontal gene transfer and are produced by a subset of the cell population. For my PhD, I characterized the genetic regulation of the GTA produced by the model organisms Rhodobacter capsulatus, a purple non-sulfur bacterium. Using targeted chromosomal mutations, transposon screens, promoter activity measurements and biochemical methods I found that this GTA is released by regulated cell lysis and discovered the genetic basis of the GTA head spikes and demonstrated that the spikes mediate binding to a capsular receptor. The conserved phosphorelay CckA-ChpT-CtrA is a central regulator of GTA production, and I found that phosphorylation of CtrA is essential for maturation of GTA particles, cell lysis and head spike production.
