Shrimp culture is a most important beneficial trade sector in south-east Asia, initiated in Iran in 1994 and has rapidly expanded during last years. However, the intensive culture systems which adopted by shrimp farmers frequently causes stress to the animals and consequently predispose them to infection. Infectious diseases have affected the profitability of the shrimp farming industry in Iran, too. During 2002, a rapid and high mortality occurred in cultured P. indicus farms in Iran (Tokhmafshan et al., 2004). In involved farms the mortality reached up to 90% within 3-10 days (Afshanasab et al., 2007). Disease prevention has been a priority and shrimp immunology has become a prime area of research. As reported by Lightner (1992), the need to reduce the lethal and weakening effects of pathogens is stimulating a renewed interest in the defense mechanisms and the immune system of crustaceans. In shrimp, the most important role of the circulation hemocytes is the protection of animals against invading microorganisms by participating in recognition, phagocytosis and melanization (Tzou et al., 2002;Cerenius & Soderhall, 2004; ; Hsieh et al., 2008). Despite the variety of shrimp responses, many of them originate from hemocyte. Shrimp hemocytes are involved in defense mechanisms such as phagocytosis, encapsulation, clot formation and melanization (Johansson et al., 2000). Thus hemocytes number sometimes used as an indicator of shrimp health status (Perazzolo et al., 2002). The purpose of this study was to classify the hemocytes of the Indian white shrimp, F. indicus, based on morphology, cell size, granules, nucleocytoplasmic ratio and also to illustrate phagocytosis of the foreign particles (Yeast), by hemocytes using light microscope and some other techniques according to Hose et al. (1990a) and Kondo (2003).
Material and methods
Animals and hemolymph collection
10 adult shrimps, F. indicus (weight ranging from 9 - 11 g) obtained from a semi-intensive farm in Bushehr Province, in south of Iran and acclimatized in a tank containing clean and aerated seawater with 34 ppt salinity at 24-26oC in Persian Gulf Higher Education Center for Fisheries Science of Bushehr Province for 2 days before collecting the hemolymph.
Hemolymph (0.5ml) was withdrawn from the ventral sinus located at the base of the first abdominal segment of each shrimp, using 26 gauge needle, 10 ml-syringe along with 9.5 ml fixative containing 2-4% formaldehyde in 0.2 M sodium cacodylate buffer plus 10% sucrose in pH 7.4 and using modified Alsever solution as antiquagulant: to classify hemocytes (and/or total and differential hemocyte count) and phagocytic activities, respectively (Kondo, 2003;O.I.E, 2005; Art et al., 2007).
Alsever solution
The solution prepared by mixing Sodium citrate (27mM)Nacl (336m M), Glucose (115mM) and EDTA. (9mM) then Adjusted to pH 7.0 with 1 N NaOH and stored at 5oC (Kondo, 2003).Hemolymph was transferred to tubes, mixed gently and finally fixed for 10 to 15 minutes at 5oc or in ice-cold water. The smear of the fixed hemocytes was prepared on slide glass. The films were air dried and used for treating with Periodic Acid Schiff (PAS) and May Grundwald_Giemsa. PAS reagent was utilized to show carbohydrates in cytoplasm of hematocytes in order to realize variation between granulocytes and others, particularly semi-granulocyte. MGG was utilized to identify and classify the hemocytes. Staining with Wright solution illustrate the phagocytosis of Yeast as foreign particles was the next process (Kondo, 2003).
Differential and total hemocyte counts
10 samples were undergone differential hemocyte count (DHC) and total hemocyte count by Thoma type hemocytometer (0.1 mm dimensions; with 16 small squares, 1/400 mm2 each), counting the different hemocyte types and calculating their relative percentages in blood smears.
To calculate the cell numbers, the total volume of 5 large squares was calculated as: 1/400×16×5×0.1=1/50mm3 (Stolen et al., 1995;Kondo, 2003;).
Periodic acid-Schiff for carbohydrates
The blood smears, were incubated with 1% periodic acid for 15 min., rinsed with distilled water, and treated with Schiff΄s reagent for 1 hour. The blood smears were then rinsed for 3 minutes in each of three consecutive 1% sulfurous acid bath (90 ml distilled water, 5 ml of 1N Hydrochloric acid in 5 ml of 10% NaHSO3 ), left in running water for 5 min., then placed in distilled water briefly and staining with mayer΄s hematoxylin (commercial). PAS reaction is a good method to recognize and differentiate granulocytes, agranulocytes and semi-granulocytes, generally (Kondo, 2003).
May Grundwald-Giemsa (MGG) to stain cytoplasmic granules
The blood smears, were placed into the May Grunwald solution (1.5 ml/slide for 5 minutes) then added Giemsa stain solution for 20 min., and rinsed with distilled water, finally. This is a proper method to differentiate hyaline cell (agranulocyte), small granular cell and large granular cell in the blood smear (Stolen et al., 1995 &Kondo 2003).
Heated-killed yeast
Suspension of Saccharomyces cerevisiae was prepared by adding 0.9% NaCl solution and then was boiled for 1 hour, followed by washing in prawn saline (g/l). The solution prepared by mixing NaCl (28.4), MgCl2 . 6H2O (1.0), MgSO4 . 7H2O (2.0), CaCl2 . 2H2O (2.25), KCl (o.7), Glucose (1.0) and Hepes (2.38) then Adjusted to pH 7.6 with 1 N NaOH.
The yeast was suspended in the saline and the hemocyte concentration adjusted at 1×106 cells/ml., then stored at 5oC and spread the hemocyte suspension (200µl) on cover slip in the plastic dish. 2 ml of heated killed Yeast was incubated 1-2 hours. We washed the yeast by saline. it fixed by fixative for 10 min. and washed by distilled water whenever 1 ml of Wright solution added and left it for 5 minutes and finally 5 ml of phosphate buffer added(1/15 M, PH 6.6) (Sritunyalucksana et al,. 2005 ; Kond, 2003).
Phagocytosis of yeast by hemocytes
Ingestion of microorganisms by hemocytes of the shrimp was studied by preparing blood cell monolayer on glass coverslips, according to the method of Johansson and Soderhall (1985) and Kondo (2003) . The blood cells were collected, kept in the same anticoagulant described above, and washed in a saline solution that consisted of 0.4 M NaCl, pH7.6, for the penaeid shrimps (adapted from Smith and Ratcliffe, 1980). Monolayers were prepared by allowing the cells (200 µl.) to attach in the presence of 10 mM CaCl2 (final concentration) for 15 min at room temperature (20°C), on pyrogen-free glass coverslips (baked at 180°C for 4hrs).The monolayers were rinsed with the saline solution and incubated with 120 µl of a Saccharomyces cerevisiae (baker's yeast) suspension (see below) for 1hr at 20°C. The monolayers were then carefully rinsed three times with the saline solution, fixed 10 min with methanol, and stained with the Wright solution (7 diluted with distilled water) for 30 min. The coverslips were then placed on mounted samples and observed under the light microscope to detect phagocytosis of microorganisms by the hemocytes. In this study we calculated:
Percent Phagocytosis =Number of active phagocytes/100 phagocytes (Stolen et al., 1995).
PI (Phagocytic Index) =(No. of hemocytes ingesting Yeasts/no. of hemocytes observed)× (no. of Yeasts ingested/no. of hemocytes observed) ×100 (Itami et al., 1994).
ABPC (Average number of the beads ingested per cell) =No. of Yeasts ingested/no. of hemocytes ingesting Yeasts (Itami et al., 1994).
Three types of hemocytes, including agranular (hyaline), small-granule, and large-granule cells were found.
Hyaline hemocyte
Hyaline cells (HC) represented approximately 10-15% of the circulating hemocytes in F. indicus (Table 1). It was round, ovoid, or fusiform hemocyte (7.07 ×5.14 µm) had a relatively large nucleus (5.84 × 4.316 µm). They were cytoplasmic dense and red in color with no granule in the cytoplasm (Figs. 1a and b, & 2).

Small granule cell
Small granule cells (SGC) comprised approximately 60_65% of the total circulating hemocytes in F. indicus (Table 1). These ovoid or fusiform (Fig. 3) cells (11.24×4.92 µm) had low nucleucytoplasmic ratio (with average size of nuclei, 6.29×4.26 µm) compared to that of the HC. SGC had numerous granules (Figs. 3a, c, d, and f) that usually were smaller than those of the LGC (large granular cells) (Fig. 4). Its cytoplasm sometimes was not clearly observed and represented cloudy appearance and some of the granules appeared weakly dense (Figs. 3b, e). The cytosol of the SGH (small granular hemocetes) and LGH (large granular hemocytes) were rich in carbohydrates [(PAS positive) Fig. 2.
Large granule cell
Large granule cells (LGC) represented about 20-25% of the total circulating hemocytes in F. indicus (Table 1). These cells were round (Fig.4a) or ovoid (Figs. 4b, c) and stable cells (10.97×7.84 µm) which have low nucleucytoplasmic ratio (with average size of nuclei, 6.8×6.26 µm) compare to that of the HC. The cytoplasm was filled with numerous large refractile granules. The granules were stained dark blue or red with MGG (Fig. 4). Under light microscopy, the nucleus of LGC's exhibited condensed chromatin masses. Some deposits (Fig. 2) were apparently polysaccharides, as they were strongly positive with PAS, were frequently observed in the LGC. In PAS reactions, some SGC-like cells with any variation in the color of their cytoplasms observed too.
Phagocytosis and hemocytes division
The monolayer hemocytes of all cell types were mounted on glass coverslip. The phagocytosis of yeast particles by the Indian white shrimp F. indicus blood cells was investigated. It was possible to determine that SGH and LGH, were able to engulf and involve in some immune response such as clot formation in exposing to the yeast particles (Fig. 5a). After exposing to yeast particles, granular hemocytes undergo profound morphological changes characterized by pseudopodia and philipodia in LGC and SGC respectively. Discoloration in nucleus and cytoplasm and releasing the granules after exposing to foreign particles during the phagocytosisshowed in fig.5.The feature of nucleus and cell size of SGC become more colorless and bigger respectively; compare to the condition that yeast particles did not exist. The whitish cytoplasm became more visible. Pseudopodia and philipodia performed. The Few granular hemocytes were observed undergoing mitosis (Fig.5b) that has rarely described in crustaceans. However, the number of dividing hemocytes was very low (less than 1%). The yeast ingested by hemocytes was light blue and non-ingested one was dark blue. The clear space around the yeast in hemocyte was phagosome (Fig.5).
Percent phagocytosis, phagocytic index (PI) and A.B.P.C. were calculated as 48% ±2.2, 38.4±2.7 and 1.66±0.2, respectively, in vitro. Few clotting formations were observed and showed a central hemocyte (usually HC) surrounding by numerous granulocytes. Clot formation was initiated by hyaline cell cytolysis (center of the clot) which surrounded by a few of granulocytes, SGC and LGC.
Fisheries researchers have adopted different criteria for hemocytes classification although the classification of crustacean hemocytes remains controversial (Hose et al. 1987, 1990a). Hose and Martin (1989) and Tsing et al., (1989) represented common and unified terms for decapods blood cells. The results of the present study suggested that hemocytes in F. indicus comprise three major groups, including hyaline cells, small granule cells (SGC) and large granule cells (LGC) depend on cell and granules size and nucleocytoplasmic ratio. The high nucleocytoplasmic ratio of the HC is useful for its identification. It is agranule and the smallest hemocyteSGC-like cells were observed on PAS reaction slides with distinct differences in color of cytoplasm to granulocytes. It seems these cells can be semi-granulocytes which observed by other researchers. These cells had less color compare to SGC in PAS reaction (Fig. 2). Kondo (2003) believed that these cells are similar to SGC but has large granules and PPO (prophenoloxidase). Therefore, he believed that in Penaeus japonicus, semi-granulocytes are the immature LGC. Granulocytes involved the immune system as well as hyaline cells. But it seems hyaline cells start some reaction such as clot formation. Lavine and Strand (2002), Cerenius and Söderhäll (2004) and Iwanaga and Lee (2005) proved that these reactions are often observed to become melanized, through the action of phenoloxidase. This discoloration was observed in our study, as well. A few mitotic figures (less than 1%) were observed in the granulocytes of P. paulensis, but not in the palaemonids (Gargioni and Barracco, 1998). finding the present study, it was found that mitosis occurrs in granular cells. Few granular hemocytes were found to undergo mitosis. This has rarely been reported by other researchers . Gargioni andBarracco (1998) stated that the SGH and LGH were actively phagocytic when examined on blood cell monolayers incubated with the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. According to Rengpipat et al., (2000) the phagocytic activity such as the percent of phagocytosis , phagocytic index and A.B.P.C. after 2 months of feeding and then challenging with WSSV as in vivo study were 16.3 ± 0.8, 12.8±4.3 and 4.9± 1.6, respectively. Compare to our study, it seems that the phagocytosis rate and phagocytic index were higher. Therefore, it is likely that the yeast particles could be more stimulant than probiotic in defense system, particularly in vitro study. According to Hose et al. (1990a & b) & Kondo et al. (1998), the hemocytes of the shrimp (Penaeidae) are classified into three types, hyaline cells (HC), small granular cells (SGC) and large granular cells (LG) associated with the presence of cytoplasmic deposit and size of granules. We observed that Hyaline cells, which are the smallest cells in F. indicus are easily lysed. They looked like round or oval cells, with a high nucleocytoplasmic ratio. They probably have a very few granules (Bauchau, 1981; Tsing et al., 1989; Martin & Graves, 2005) but no granules within, which were observed in our study. This finding suggests that the HC undergoes a rapid lysis in vitro. Hyalines cytolysis initiates coagulation of hemolymph and followed by rupture of the plasma membrane. Cells then look leach and aggregated deposits appear to form long filamentous strands within the cytoplasm. Sphere coagulation is formed around individual hyaline cell while granulocytes are pushed to the periphery (Omori et al., 1989). This system may be triggered by endotoxin and β-1 '3-glucans (Levin 1967; Söderhäll, 1981; Durliat, 1985). On the other hand, the HC are nonphagocytic and primarily involved with coagulation of hemolymph (Omori et al., 1989). Small granulocytes are responsible for the phagocytosis of foreign particles (Hose & Martin, 1989). The granulocytes of Penaeus paulensis were easily identified as SGH and LGH according to the descriptions of other decapods (Bauchau 1981; Martin & Graves, 2005; Hose et al., 1990a; Barracco & Amirante, 1992). They proved these can be actively phagocytic cells and were able to ingest microorganisms in vitro, such as yeast particles. Our results suggest that the HC in F. indicus is unstable cell that rapidly loose its viability and can help to initiate coagulation and small granulocyte and large granulocyte involved in phagocytosis in vitro. Differential hemocyte count values were recorded in the relative percentage (differential hemocyte count) of the hemocytes in the different species. In Sicyonia ingentis, Hose et al. (1992) recorded that the HC comprise 50–60% of the circulating hemocytes, whereas the SGH and LGH represented 30% and 10%, respectively. Our calculation about relative percentage of HC in F. indicus is varied and approximately was 10-15%, lower value compare to former species and LGC and SGC were 20-25% and 60-65%, repectively. Hemocyte types, particularly the hyaline cells, are not analogous between different crustacean species, both morphologically and functionally (Bachere et al., 1995). In the shrimp, P. japonicus, in accordance with Tsing et al. (1989) in the sense that the hyaline cells are relatively less numerous in this species than in other decapods. The hyaline cells of Macrobrachium rosenbergii, posses 70% of hemocytes (Vazquez et al., 1997), in contrast to Penaeidae shrimp. In the lobster, Homarus americanus, and the crab, Loxorhynchus grandis, the SGH were highest (similar to F. indicus) reaching more than 60% of the total cell number (Hose et al., 1990a). High variation of total hemocyte count (THC) in different crustacean species has been usually reported by researchers. Martin and Graves (2005) reported a relatively low THC (approximately 11×103 cells/mm3) in the Penaeus californiensis while Tsing et al. (1989) reported approximately 5-14×106 cells/mm3 in the hemolymph of the Penaeus japonicus as our record in F. indicus. In shrimp, Penaeus setiferus the THC was approximately recorded 8.9×106 (Yeager & Tauber, 1935). There is some variations in result of hemolymph contents of serum in Pontastacus leptodactylus after exposing to varied pH (Soltani et al., 2008). The present study showed morphologic features of hemocytes and occurrence of phagocytosis in F. Indicus which can led to further research on shrimp immunity and to look for new or modified approaches to decrease the risk of pathogens in shrimp culture farms.

When a post type registers a non-hierarchical taxonomy, there is a "Popular Tags" section displayed on that taxonomies overview. Each of the terms included in the popular tags Tag Cloud is linked to an edit page for that term, but when clicking on the edit link, the current post type isn't respected, meaning the admin menu goes from having the current post type highlighted to having the standard Posts menu highlighted.
For example, the URL for the edit link of a popular "Download Tag" from my Easy Digital Downloads plugin is:
Since &post_type=download is not included in the URL, the dashboard menu highlight changes to Posts.
To fix this, a couple of things are needed:
- post_type needs to be passed as an argument to wp_tag_cloud() in wp-admin/edit-tags.php if the current user can edit the term.
2, The wp_tag_cloud() function should call get_edit_term_link() instead of get_edit_tag_link() when the link parameter is set to edit. The post_type arg passed should also be passed as the third parameter to get_edit_term_link(), for the object type.

Probably worth adding a short bit of documentation to the description about the new post_type parameter that wp_tag_cloud() accepts. We'll probably convert that section of the PHPDoc to a hash notation in the future but a small addition now should suffice.

The shorts are great! They're just what you want if you're looking for some good looking shorts that you can wear on an adventure or just around town. The sizes are about what I thought they'd be. They might be just slightely tight but I'm fine with that. I don't like my shorts too baggy when I'm hiking. These are perfect.
Nice pair of light weight shorts. Dry fast and are comfy. Belt is pretty cheesy but it does come off so I have replaced it with a standard webbing belt. The length is pretty good. They Fall right at the knee. Might be nice to be a hair shorter but still good.
I had to return my first order as I had ordered my normal size. Too Small.
I have recieved 2 pairs that fit (one size larger) and they are awesome. They are now my go to shorts. The zippered cargo pockets are excellent.
Solid pair of shorts. Wear them to go hiking dry out pretty fast. Light-weight.
these shorts are really light weight and breathable great for any outdoor use.
I purchase a lot of clothing from Backcountry and recently have purchased a few pairs of shorts that would fall under the category of the Columbia Silver Ridge. They are ok shorts but for the money I would buy more pairs of the Patagonia shorts. The Columbia shorts seem to have cheap zippers compared to the zippers on Patagonia shorts. Other than the zipper I would probably purchase these shorts again but would definitely look at others first.
I loved last year's version of these shorts and I wish I had bought more than 2 pair. The material on these feels more abrasive and they removed the "hidden" zip pocket. The sizing has changed a lot as well. I had a 32 in last year's and they fit comfortably. Without gaining any weight, I now need a 34 and the thighs are still tight.

Weekly media roundup 14/1/17 – 20/1/17
This week has seen 909 LGA mentions in national, regional, trade, broadcast and online publications including 23 LGA mentions in national newspapers, broadcast and online articles.
Surrey announces referendum on 15 per cent council tax rise
Friday 20 January
The LGA's estimates about the £2.6 billion funding gap facing social care featured in the FT, Mail and Express as well on Telegraph Online, Guardian Online, Mirror Online, Independent Online, Sky News Online, Metro Online, LBC Online and referenced on BBC News. Surrey County Council announced it will hold a referendum on increasing council tax by 15 per cent to help pay for providing social care. LGA Resources Board Chair Cllr Claire Kober said: "Services supporting the elderly and disabled are at breaking point. It cannot be left to council taxpayers alone to try and fix them." Calling for local government to be central to an "urgent and fundamental review of social care and health", LGA Chairman Lord Porter added: "The Government must recognise why social care matters and treat it as a national priority."

UK community refugee scheme has resettled only two Syrian families
Thursday 19 January
Asylum, Migration and Refugee Task Group Chairman Cllr David Simmonds featured on Guardian Online about how only two Syrian refugee families have been resettled under the Government's community refugee sponsorship scheme, six months after it was unveiled by the Home Secretary and the Archbishop of Canterbury. Cllr Simmonds said it was a cause for concern if "volunteers, who could take some burden off the taxpayer, are not having their offers of help taken up".
Councils get £48m to expand homelessness provision
Wednesday 18 January
Chairman Lord Porter featured in the Guardian with the LGA's statement in response to the Government's announcement of £48 million for councils to deliver the Homelessness Reduction Bill for the first three years. The LGA warned homelessness services face a funding gap of £192 million by the end of the decade and said the true costs of the legislation were difficult to predict. Lord Porter said: "It is impossible to know how many people will come forward to access the new duties, what the impact of the Bill will be on different groups over time, and therefore the funding councils need to deliver duties that reduce homelessness. We ask that the Government commits to reviewing the Bill's impact two years after implementation, to assess its actual impact and to ensure that councils are being fully equipped and funded to deliver the Bill's ambitions."

LGA media release
Housing shortage as 35,000 on waiting lists for 10 years
Tuesday 17 January
The Mirror reported the LGA's call for a reversal in the long-term decline in council housing and concerns about how some government housing reforms risk reducing the number of socially-rented homes available in local communities. At least 104,000 people have been on council housing waiting lists for five years, with 35,000 on waiting lists for 10 years, figures compiled by the Lib Dems reveal. The Government will soon publish a White Paper setting out its plans to boost housing supply. The LGA said it must include powers and funding for councils to provide "genuinely affordable homes". Environment, Economy, Housing and Transport Board Chairman Cllr Martin Tett said: "There is an urgent need to reverse the long-term decline in council housing in this country. Some government housing reforms risk reducing the number of socially-rented homes available in local communities. Councils fear this will increase housing waiting lists and push more people into the more expensive private rented sector."
Funerals paid for by crowdfunding are on the rise
Monday 16 January
The LGA's concerns about the difficulties for councils in recouping the costs of funerals in cases where no one will or is able to make the arrangements to pay was reported on BBC Online. Crowdfunding for funerals has soared in the past year after figures released by JustGiving reveal that over 2,000 services were funded by donations raised through its website between January and September 2016, four times as many for the same period in 2015. In cases where no one will or is able to make the arrangements to pay for a funeral, councils have a statutory obligation to step in. Costs are recouped from the deceased's estate where possible but the LGA says this can be difficult and places a "significant burden" on councils.
£2.6 billion funding gap facing social care
Monday 16 January
Labour MP Bridget Phillipson cited the LGA's lines in the Commons about how the extra money raised through the adult social care precept will not be enough to meet the estimated £2.6 billion funding gap facing social care, which was reported on BBC Radio 4's Today in Parliament and on BBC News channel's Monday in Parliament programme.

Motorists warned over potholes
Monday 16 January
The LGA's recent release warning that 2017 could be a "tipping point" for tackling potholes as the estimated repair bill for roads in England and Wales could reach £14 billion within two years was reported in the Telegraph, Sun and Mail Online. The LGA's lines were also referenced on LBC and Talk Radio, about an increase in RAC callouts to drivers whose cars have been damaged by potholes. In the past three months the RAC has seen a 24 per cent rise in pothole-damaged vehicles, compared to the same period last year.

LGA media release
Saturday 14 January A carrot for older generation to downsize from larger homes
The Telegraph reported the LGA's previous suggestions about giving incentives to pensioners to downsize from largely empty family homes to flats and bungalows, as part of measures to ease the housing crisis, and how the money could be recouped with housing moves that otherwise would not have happened. Communities Secretary Sajid Javid is to set out plans to tackle the shortage of housing in a White Paper later this month. Saga estimates 111,000 family-sized homes would come onto the market if a stamp duty exemption for downsizing was adopted.

Pinoy puki-puki masarap
Now, some of you might have reach my blog by accident, or you may actually know me--not necessarily mean that I would know you, but who cares. My ramblings are usually about nothing and it never seems important enough to read, and you may already know that about me. Since I'm such a showoff:). But I'm sure you are now reading it to this point, just because you saw the word "puki"[1] and that made you curious. If you are a guy, you're thinking that this entry must be something naughty and dirty, and you just have to find out, right?And if you are a girl, I'm sure you saw the word "puki" and though in a less imaginative state than guys would be, would be as curious and would just like to find out too. So read on....
Recently, my mind often wonders back home--across the oceans, across the deep blue seas--to my humble home in Shah Alam. Don't know why, but I guess its true what the famous adage says, "there is no place like home", and that it is just normal to miss the place where you grew up. The familiar faces, the familiar decor, the familiar colors and smells that we take for granted from the time moment we were born.
I would like to talk about something delicious. "Pinoy puki-puki masarap" loosely translated means filipinos puki-puki is delicious. But I'm sorry to disappoint all of you, this entry has nothing to do with something dirty and naughty. This entry is about something delicious. Well, wait guys and gals, dont be dirty minded, not that kind of delicious. What I mean by delicious is that puki-puki[2] is a kind of signature dish from phillippines. Now, being half filipino, I was obviously brought up to eat puki-puki almost every week. In fact, puki-puki--sometimes spelled as pooky-pooky, or pookey-pookey--is my favorite dish, and I love it soo much. Whether you decide to eat it with rice, or just spread it on bread, it is still a delicious and healthy dish no matter how you decide to chew it down. Puki-puki can be classified as a vegetable dish, and hence it is good for those of you who wants to keep slim and healthy.
So since I miss home so much, i tried to cook myself puki-puki[2], and another dish called mince beef with potatos, which was also another pinoy cooking that my mom used to make for us. I started with a recipe given by kak Shima[2] who was also interested in making some puki-puki.
I started by following exactly the recipe given at a website[2]. I started with two nice clean eggplants. And started to grill them on top of a stove. I used to remember mom doing this. She always told me, remember to make sure to burn it until it is charred. So here are some pictures of my silly attempt.
After it is fully charred, you have to peel the charred eggplant's skin, and get the good tasting eggplant inside.
After that i followed the instructions given in the website[2] and added beaten eggs. I should have just put in one beaten egg, but silly me, I thought more is better, so the output was a bit different from what it should look like. However, it taste as good.
After puki-puki, i tried the recipe my mom mailed me to make mince beef with potatos. The recipe is attached in the mail snippet below:
-----Mom's mail--------------------------
1.Garlic - half clove
2.Onions - half big
3.Tomatoes - four big
4.Fish sauce - two laddles
5.Mince beef - half kilo
6.Potatoes - three small
Saute garlic, onions and tomatoes till soft. Add mince beef and the fish sauce , till oil comes out and the beef fried dry. Add water , say four cups and boil . Slow down fire when the water boils and let the soup simmer for fifteen minutes. Add the chopped potatoes and continue boiling till potatoes are cooked. Add a pince of salt to taste and pepper to taste. Can also add carrots or capsicon.
Enjoy cooking. Love Mom
Anyway, after all that cooking, I was ready to eat....my pinoy homecook meal....it was just delicious, you can really taste the charred eggplant taste, and the delightful potatos.:)

Minimally Invasive Surgery Brings Lasting Relief to Children With Pediatric Achalasia October 27, 2016 Imagine the feeling of food stuck in your throat. For children with esophageal achalasia, that feeling is a constant truth: The muscles in the esophagus fail to function properly and the lower valve, or sphincter, of the esophagus controlling the flow of food into the stomach doesn't relax enough to allow in food — causing a backup, heartburn, chest pain, and many other painful symptoms. For children, surgery is the best hope for permanent relief.

Cameron: Tottenham fans can call themselves 'Yids'AP , Associated Press
Sep. 17, 2013 9:31 AM ET
LONDON (AP) — British Prime minister David Cameron says that Tottenham fans should be allowed to use the word "Yid" in their chants because they are not motivated by hate. Tottenham Hotspur's manager Andre Villas-Boas gestures during their English Premier League soccer match against Norwich City, at White Hart Lane stadium, London, Saturday, Sept. 14, 2013. (AP Photo/Bogdan Maran)
Tottenham, which has a strong Jewish fan base, has been targeted by anti-Semitic insults for years and the club's supporters use the word "Yid" to describe themselves. Tottenham's firm is also called the "Yid Army." But the Football Association has recently warned Spurs fans that they could be prosecuted if they continue to use the term. Cameron told The Jewish Chronicle that "there's a difference between Spurs fans self-describing themselves as Yids and someone calling someone a Yid as an insult. You have to be motivated by hate. Hate speech should be prosecuted - but only when it's motivated by hate." © The Associated Press. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed.

Sci fi/Fantasy image by
Michael MossThe daemon Baal, another illustration for my opera. The fact is, I've had few references to base myself upon: the beard is inspired from babylonian mural carvings (as befits a semitic daemon) as is the armor, whereas the spear was actually inspired by a dwarven halberd from the third installment of The Elder Scrolls. Baal is proud and quiet, being related to pride and various taboos; he is nevertheless quite arrogant when he does speak.

'I need to be safe' - Crossing into Canada from the U.S.
HEMMINGFORD, Quebec A Sudanese man hopped out of a taxi just before daybreak, a duffle bag slung over his shoulder as he headed for the U.S. - Canadian border.
LONDON Forget the top "Best in Show" prize, Olly the Jack Russell has gained his own celebrity status at Britain's Crufts dogs show after enthusiastically going off course and even falling flat on his face during the agility round of last week's competition.
Stumbling on jumps, going the wrong way and running off to the sidelines, the dog's energy and enthusiasm came through in Friday's session, a video of which has reached more than 7 million views on Crufts' YouTube channel.
"I would love to say it's out of character but no it's not, it's normal behavior," Olly's owner Karen Parker said. "He loves running, he loves playing and I think it just shows how much fun he's had."

PTI cannot Fool the Public - Javed Hashmi
Multan: Former Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) president Javed Hashmi said on Sunday that results of the cantonment board elections had proved that the youth were disenchanted with the PTI and its politics.
"PTI chairman Imran Khan had claimed that the youth of defence were on his side," he said. "These elections have proved that you cannot fool the public all the time."
He said Imran Khan, Shah Mahmood Qureshi and Jahangir Tareen were playing with the fate of the nation.
He said though a judicial commission to probe rigging in 2013 general elections had been formed on Imran Khan's request, he had insufficient evidence to support his claim. "Now he cannot make childish claims and must back up what he has been claiming for over two years with evidence," he said. He said everyone would have to accept findings of the judicial commission.
He was talking to newsmen at his residence in Multan.
Hashmi said that by dissolving an intra-party election tribunal headed by Justice Wajiuddin, Imran Khan had made a huge mistake.
He said the PTI should make the report of Justice Wajihuddin's tribunal public so that people could know about the party's internal politics.
Hashmi said the party had offered to appoint him president unopposed but he had declined the offer. "Shah Mahmood and Imran Khan are unelected leaders of the PTI. There were no elections for those posts," he said. He said the PTI had lost its credibility by sacking Wajihuddin.
He said he was considering putting together a new political party for disgruntled PTI workers. "These people have been disheartened by the arrogance and dictatorial attitude of the current PTI leadership," he said.
He said he feared that the PTI would be wiped out from the political sphere by the time the PML-N completed its tenure in 2018.
He said PTI lawmakers in the national assembly were legally and morally bound to step down from their seats. He said if the speaker did not accept their resignation, he, too, was acting illegally. He said he would take up the matter to a court.

Report: Foxconn Raises Age Requirement for Workers
Foxconn has reportedly raised the age requirement for new workers being recruited for its factory in Zhengzhou, China, where rumor has it Apple's next-generation iPhones are currently being assembled.
The contract manufacturing giant is now requiring new workers at the facility to be at least 23 years old, whereas 18 was previously the minimum age for workers at the Zhengzhou plant, DigiTimes reported Tuesday. A maximum age of 40 for new recruits remains the same, according to the Taiwanese tech journal.
DigiTimes cited "some market watchers" who speculated that the revised age requirement is "meant to accelerate [Foxconn's] progress to automation" at the Zhengzhou facility, though others noted that "the adjustment is meant to correspond to the local government's labor policies."
The Zhengzhou plant in northern China is reportedly in the process of ramping production of Apple's seventh-generation iPhone, which rumor has it could be released this September, followed by a lower-priced smartphone aimed at emerging markets a few weeks later.
DigiTimes reported last week that Apple's premier manufacturing partner in Asia was making a hiring push at its Zhengzhou facility "specifically for production of a new iPhone model," though Foxconn itself has described increased hiring as an effort to meet seasonal labor demands.
The Zhengzhou factory complex is one of Foxconn's main facilities for producing iPhones, including the current-generation iPhone 5
. It's also experienced some of the labor relations problems that have marred Taiwan-based Foxconn's often controversial manufacturing efforts for Apple.Last year, several thousand Zhengzhou workers reportedly went on strike over stringent quality control standards for the iPhone 5, though Foxconn denied that a strike had occurred. In May, it was reported that as many as three Zhengzhou workers committed suicide by jumping from heights such incidents have also happened periodically at Foxconn-run factories in China over the past several years, resulting in about two dozen worker deaths.
In recent years, Foxconn has come under fire from labor rights groups alleging such worker unfriendly practices as underage hiring, forced overtime, and union-busting. Accidents at the contract manufacturer's mainland China plants have also raised workplace safety concerns.
Last year, Apple commissioned the Fair Labor Association (FLA) to conduct inspections and audits of facilities run by its final assembly suppliers, including Foxconn. The FLA presented Foxconn with a set of recommendations for changing some of its labor and safety practices, which the contract manufacturer says it has followed, though some labor groups remained critical of the FLA auditing results and Foxconn's behavior.

Nvidia Tegra 2 (250)
The NVIDIA Tegra 250 is a SOC (System on a Chip) of the Tegra 2 (T20/AP20H) series. It contains a dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 processor, a GeForce ULP graphics card, a DDR2 memory controller, video de- and encoders, a dedicated audio processor and an additional ARM7 core for power saving and management work.
The processing core contains two ARM Cortex-A9 MPCore cores without NEON SIMD Instructions (Single Instruction Multiple Data). Each core is clocked up to 1 GHz but the performance per MHz is significantly slower than x86 processors like Atom or AMD C-Series.
The integrated GeForce ULP graphics card offers 8 cores (4 pixel- and 4 vertex shaders) and is clcoked with 300 (AP20H) or 333 MHz. Rumors speak of a relation to the old GeForce 7 architecture. The graphics card has no dedicated memory (uses shared memory). It supports OpenGL ES 2.0 as an interface for programmers. Up to two displays can be used simultaneously (one HDMI with up to 1080p and an internal with up to 1680x1050).
Video de- and encoding is also handled by separate processors, that are capable of decoding H.264 (Main Profile), Sorenson and VP6-E (Flash codecs) and encoding 1080p H.264. Furthermore a dedicated music en- and decoder is also on-board.
The integrated single channel 32 Bit DDR2 memory controller supports up to 1 GB of DDR2-667 or LPDDR2-600.
The Nvidia Tegra 250 is manufactured in 40nm at TSMC and is rumored to have a TDP of 0.5-1W. Therefore it is suited for small tablets and even large phones.

About us
Store to Door supports independent living for Portland area seniors and people with disabilities by providing a low-cost, volunteer-based grocery shopping and delivery service. Now in its 25th year, the agency was founded in 1989 when people living in low-income senior housing in Northwest Portland, too frail to shop on their own, requested assistance from the community. Many received other services, but also needed food, medications, and household items to remain healthy and in their own homes. Today, 400+ clients in Multnomah County and Beaverton are supported by over 500 volunteers who give thousands of hours of service annually.
Store to Door is the only grocery service in Portland specifically designed to meet the needs of seniors and people with disabilities.
- We phone our clients every week and take their order, if they have one.
- If the store doesn't have an item requested, we will call from the store to offer alternatives.
- Deliveries are once a week; we will even help put groceries away!
- Volunteer delivery drivers spend time visiting with our clients and making sure they have the support they need.
- Store to Door delivers groceries, prescription medications, postage stamps, bus tickets, toiletries and household items.
- We can apply store coupon credits to orders.
- We help clients utilize SNAP (Supplementary Nutrition Assistance Program) benefits, and can bill delivery fees to Multnomah County for clients with OPI (Oregon Project Independence) homecare entitlements.
- Upon delivery, clients pay their grocery bill and delivery fee. Delivery fees are just 10% of the total grocery bill (prescriptions are not included in the calculation), with a minimum of $3 . We leverage community support to supplement the actual cost of service.
Benefits of Using Store to Door
- Our service is inexpensive and reliable.
- We care! Our staff and volunteers are conscientious and friendly.
- We try to make sure the same order-taker and delivery-driver are assigned to the same client each week.
- Our volunteers and staff reduce clients' isolation by building relationships through weekly phone calls and visits.

Sorry, no definitions found.
Sorry, no etymologies found.
Sorry, no example sentences found.
Uhh... 23. *sheepish*
not really. I was fifteen, I think.
Though not a roller coaster, I had honestly thought I was going to die on Splash Mountain.
chained_bear, how old were you? Funny how the mind remembers stuff like that :)
As coasters go, yeah, weak. For me the excitement was always seeing the blackened outlines of the metal coaster frame, but not being able to make out details. It gives the unnerving feeling that you're constantly going to smack your arms against something painful, or decapitate yourself if you're very tall.
The verdict: while it doesn't produce many Gs, or even go upside-down, it was effective at causing me to fear for my safety. It also jerks and whips you around pretty good. And how many Florida coasters can you comfortably ride in the hot, humid, or rainy summertime?
Aw, it's OK. It was built so long ago, and the big cool thing was being in the dark. Rollercoaster technology develops pretty fast so they're all kind of scarier and better now than when this thing was built.
I went on it with a rubber snake around my neck. You should try that sometime.
totally weak. Can't believe I waited in line for this "legendary" ride.

Releasing the Power and the Presence of God
Uncategorized 1 Comment »Oswald Chambers said, "there is nothing to be valued more highly than to have people praying for us; God links up his power in answer to their prayers."
In the past week, I received the blessing of many people praying for me, and for my family. On Tuesday, March 17, my 82-year old mother suffered a stroke. I left to be with her a couple of days later. Immediately, friends and coworkers began praying for Mom, for me, and for our whole family. Before I left, the wonderful people I work with gathered in a circle and prayed for us. During the hours of driving to Arkansas, sitting by her bedside, watching her struggle, improve, and decline all at once, I knew these people were praying for us, and I felt the power of their prayers.
Mom has experienced some healing, and I pray there will be more. But the blessing of the prayers wasn't so much in her healing. There was no disappointment, either with the prayers or with God, when she suffered setbacks. The blessing of the prayers was in the power and the presence of God we felt.
Another time, Chambers wrote that "the purpose of prayer is to reveal the presence of God." That is what happened in my life this past week. The prayers of friends, family, coworkers and strangers praying on several prayer teams, lifted me up and helped make me aware of God's presence. Through the touch of the Holy Spirit, I felt the power, and the comfort of Jesus sitting next to me in waiting rooms, at Mom's bedside, and in the car on the long trip back and forth.
When you say, "I will pray for you," never doubt the impact your prayers have on that person's life. Your prayers reveal the presence of God.
— Jennifer Creagar

Only Wednesday and nearly 25 dogs and puppies are safe, warm and onto happier days. This is why I love Stray Rescue. Three days, many rescues and now the real work begins. Let's back up to Monday.
Monday- North St. Louis is a tough area of town and even tougher on the stray dogs. Picture a house that looks as if a bomb exploded leaving just a shell of a building and remnants of people who once lived there, even a baby's crib. Now picture Darrell, one of my right hand humans rescuing, chasing feral 8 week old puppies in the debris while the mama dog barks with fear. It is like chasing rabbits. He chased them into a garbage strewn, dark basement. Flashlights and speed saved the ten pups but mama was scared and confused. She also had an injury on one leg that wouldn't stop bleeding, once cornered she was able to be rescued and reunited with her babies. Darrell names her Glasgow.
This whole time three big hound looking dogs and one of the good guys, a neighbor, watched from across the street. He was afraid we were going to steal the "people food" he was feeding to the strays. He then realized we were friend not foe. He tells Darrell the 3 big stray hounds in his yard were the only survivors from Glasgow's last litter. Their turn will come.
Next stop, Wellston - Luigi's pack. The pack is larger than when Darrell and I saved Luigi. It looks like his buddy Mario also experienced the life of a bait dog and needed saving fast. More leg trauma.
Lots of dogs rescued on this Monday but one not so lucky pup was lost today. Our grateful friend Renegade died. Unfortunately we got him too late. We are happy you spent your last few days feeling love and warmth.
I go to bed that night angry at people and sad. I pray I don't dream.
Tuesday- starts with making a sweep of the basement from Glasgow's old "home" to make sure no pups were left behind. Now, off to a junkyard on the north side, one German Shepherd wanting to eat us and one very pregnant female looking very miserable. The junkyard owner wanted our help but was nowhere in sight, so we leave a message to call and head east.
My favorite pack of dogs greets us like the ice-cream man. This took a year. I can love on at least two of them and the others are coming around quickly. We feed them and talk about the 2 that died in recent days, one from the cold and one from a gunshot. I miss them.
Next we spot a female dog that looks like she could be nursing, I ask Darrell to follow her into the war zone to try to locate the litter. While Darrell is doing that I see two dogs sprinting at full speed a football field away. I thought either they really hate me and want to kill me, which I knew couldn't be the case, or they missed the ice-cream truck…which was the case. Leaving dogs behind…sucks, but with no space sometimes kindness and food will have to suffice. The one beagle-ish dog couldn't decide if he wanted love first or food. A thought flashed through my head, someone saying to me recently "I will foster a beagle". I load up Desi, yes that is his name now, in the SUV- call the foster parent and tell her I have your beagle. I keep to myself that he really only looks like a beagle if you squint one eye and cover the other…hopefully it is beagle enough.
We feed, drop off food to residents and feed more dogs, 5-6 blocks and over 50 plus strays get a meal, a pet if they let me, a kiss if they trust. While searching for one of my larger packs, Darrell waits in the SUV while I do my ice-cream man whistle. From out of the debris comes a Rottweiler at a full sprint running to me which looks like a femur bone in his mouth. He leaps in my arms as if I was his long lost friend, I trade him the bone for hot dogs and realize as I love on him that he is all bones. I had never seen this one before but if a dog could say "get me the hell out of here", this dog yelled it in my ears, so I did. Welcome to Stray Rescue Schnapps! We move on but don't get far; we left food for a large feral pack and now there was a lil tiny cotton ball eating the leftovers. Darrell jumps out and rescues this 8 pound baby, who wins the cutest street dog I have even seen and appropriately christened "Q-Tip". With our catch of the day in the car and only a few blocks done we know we have to call it a day. Meetings after meeting on the construction of our new shelter and raising funds are scheduled for the afternoon. We leave.
Wednesday- the junk yard folks called and Darrell rushed to the scene; she gave birth outside in the freezing cold. 11 puppies but only 6 survive, 5 froze to death. Mom and pups are now safe with us. My phone rings and another dog passed away that I rescued just weeks earlier in the cold. I want a drink and maybe a cry. I have known some of our rescues for years on the streets. We've had great success but the faces of the ones left behind and the faces of the ones who have died haunt me.
All of the adult dogs rescued in these 3 days have heartworm. Most have had to have surgeries and emergency medical care on their wounds or broken bones. This is why we always ask for donations, they deserve that second chance; they deserve to sleep on the couch or by a fireplace or play with kids. They don't deserve what Darrell and I saw these last 3 days. This is always where you come in, your help, be it a bag of food to a cash donation helps us help them!
A special thanks to Darrell for always being there for me and Stray Rescue.
I love our motto because I believe it with all my heart- Stray Rescue is where compassion rules!

The Architecture of the Eighteenth Century Paperback
by John Summerson
Part of the World of Art S. series
The architecture produced between 1700 and 1800 represents a classic perfection which no later age has equaled.
The first half of the eighteenth century was pervaded by the spirit of the Baroque, epitomized most completely in palaces and churches: Schonbrunn in Vienna, the Winter Palace in St.
Petersburg, the dazzling theatrical churches and Residenzes of Germany and Central Europe.
After 1750 architecture turned away from Baroque toward Neo-classicism, whose most characteristic types included private houses, institutional buildings and planned towns--Bath, Philadelphia and Washington, with their theaters, museums, hospitals and banks.
Summerson provides a succinct and elegant summary of the entire period, bringing into focus not only the stunning beauty of these buildings, but also the background of ideas from which they sprang.

Try http://www.chocolateworld.be . You have to pay shipping of course, but the range is wider and V H source from there and add a mark up I believe, so it's bound to be cheaper direct.
Hi Gracie
We have the largest range of polycarbonate moulds in stock in the UK and we do not charge extra to obtain any moulds that we might not have in stock. Our fixed postage charge is just £2.95 including VAT - compare that with what you will pay elsewhere.

The real threat to America is not from some terrorists, it is from the truth. When truth is told, people die. Liberals do not view Muslims as real people with real beliefs and culture. They are viewed as the loser victims in a game of power. These are the lies about Islam and Muslims the liberals accept.
God, through his anointing and answering of prayers, has put a mandate in my heart. On May 23, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., there will be a Young Black Men Prayer Banquet (YBMPB) at Preston Blackmon's Park, formerly Southside Park. We will pray for two hours.
On Sunday, May 17, in this space, we reported on the annual Kids Count study on the status of children in the country and for each of the 50 states. For our kids in South Carolina, the results were not good, as we as a state had slipped two places in the rankings. Last year, South Carolina ranked 45th of the 50 states in the well-being of our children, the same place as in 2013, but down two places from 2012, when we ranked 43rd. We are gaining speed in the wrong direction.
I have written this column before. In fact, I've written this same basic column about this time every year for the past several years. And I'll write it again next year, and every year for as long as I do this column because it's so important. It's about how well the children of South Carolina are doing. The answer in a word is – worse.
Sunlight is sorely needed in our nation's capital as Congress considers an expedited process for approving trade agreements that are being done largely in secret. For the past several years, representatives of our government have been negotiating trade deals with Pacific Rim nations and the European Union behind closed doors, pacts that will affect every American family and worker. The only people privy to inside information about the trade talks have been 566 trade advisers, the overwhelming majority of whom represent corporate interests.
Most people only visit hospitals occasionally, when a loved one is sick or a friend is having a baby. Associates at Springs Memorial Hospital are different in this regard. Each day, hundreds of associates come to the hospital to provide compassionate, personalized care for friends, neighbors and those they do not know. Our providers work together around the clock, seven days a week to make healthcare available any time it is needed, whether for one person or more in times of community crisis or natural disaster.
Long before Jesus' birth, the prophet Isaiah wrote a prophecy about the "suffering servant of Jehovah," found in Isaiah 52:13-53:12. Eight passages in the New Testament declare that this passage describes the Lord Jesus Christ, including the words of Jesus himself, when he said, "This that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end." (Luke 22:37)
I was blessed to have not only my own mother, Juanita B. Walker, but four surrogate mothers. Three of them are deceased, but I want their families to know how much I loved them and how much I appreciate them sharing their loved ones with me. I would first like to thank the Lancaster News for including my mother in the Black History Trivia Contest in February. She was truly a trailblazer in this community and local, state and national politics, but she never won any awards for that.
The fiscal year 2016 Lancaster County budget took another step on its path April 30 with a presentation to the Lancaster County Council Committee of the Whole. The long and short of the situation is that the new (version 5) budget has found a little more revenue and cut a few expenses and is said to be balanced with a 1 mill property tax increase.
What's the difference between one year and 52 weeks, except $2? All the employees who work at The Lancaster News are real nice folks. I know many of them personally, like Debbie Gallien, the receptionist, and others like Susan Rowell, Barbara Rutledge, Robert Howey, Greg Summers, Laura Caskey, Becky Outen, Bruce Adams and others who have been kind as well. Now, with that being said, allow me to vent my frustrations.

farina grain mill
Item #: 1078
farina grain mill
has a rating of 5.0 stars
based on 2 reviews.
Over the years, many Waldorf Kindergarten teachers have bought our Farina Grain Mill to grind grains for their baking lessons. It's no toy; it works like magic to finely or coarsely grind wheat or other grains into flour. Children love to turn the crank and everyone will enjoy the aroma and taste of freshly ground whole grain flour, with all the important minerals, fiber and trace elements.
MADE IN: GermanyMADE OF: The mill is made of larch wood. The heart of the mill is a sturdy millstone.
SIZE: 11½" tall, 11" wide at top (including handle)
SUGGESTED AGES: 3 years + up
PRODUCT CARE: Our grain mill is designed primarily to mill grains such as wheat, rice and rye into flour. Dried corn is too hard for the mill and legumes are also not recommended. Nuts or anything oily should not be put through the mill as there is no way to clean the stones thoroughly.
The first time you use the mill it is important to discard the first 1/2 cup of grain you mill as it may contain tiny stones from the milling stones. After this, your grain mill should serve you well for many years!
