  • 150g dark chocolate
  • 120g unsalted butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 150g soft dark brown sugar
  • 1tsp vanilla extract
  • 50g plain flour
  • 1tsp baking powder
  • 240g fresh or frozen pitted cherries, defrosted if frozen
  • 100g Jordans Chocolate Country Crisp

    1. Preheat oven to 180C / 160C fan / Gas Mark 4. Line a 20cm/8inch square baking tin with non-stick baking parchment.
    2. Melt the chocolate and butter together in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water. Stir occasionally. Remove from the heat and allow to cool for a few minutes.
    3. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar, using an electric hand whisk, until light and doubled in volume. Stir in the vanilla extract and melted chocolate mixture.
    4. Fold in the cherries, and Jordans Chocolate Country Crisp. Pour into prepared tin and smooth the surface with a spoon. Bake for about 35 minutes, until the cake is set and no longer wobbles when the tin is shaken slightly (it will still be quite sticky, but will firm up once cooled). Leave to cool completely in the tin, before cutting into bars.

12oz pour at The Farmhouse Tap & Grill.

Quick review: Pours an clear amber with fluffy off-white head that collapses rather quickly. Nose is very herbal with notes of leather and grapefruit rind. Palate is clean and crisp with lots of pink grapefruit flavor, rind too, with a grassy hop character.

So clean, so fresh, so delicious! This is my favorite Hill Farmstead beer yet! Keep going Shaun!

The beer comes in a vibrant and hazy lemon yellow.

The aroma offers yellow grapefruit, lychee, spruce, white wine, cracked grains, white bready malt.

On the flavor, lime and grapefruit peel, a touch of yellow grapefruit juice, heavy floral, a hint of juicy honeydew, a light doughy malt in the middle, as the beer finishes very dry with a woody, herbaceous, grass, and drying white wine.

On tap poured into an ommegang tulip.

Pours a very nice slightly hazy orange color that's really nice. Small light yellow head with some awesome clingy lacing. Nose is odd, these hops are earthy and a bit funky.

Taste is sweet, bitter, fruity and it still has that funky earthy flavor from the nose. It's got a fairly light mouthfeel, it's easy drinking and quite tasty. Overall pretty good showcase of the Nelson hops!

On tap at both Pro Pig and Blackback in Waterbury, VT. Had three times over one night because I loved it so much. Super hazy golden color with a fluffy head that leaves moderate lacing.

Smell is a punch to the nostrils of Nelson hops, very tropical, juicy, dank, slightly earthy. Very limited malts on the flavor lend some fresh dough and sweetness to the start. The rest of the beer is pure hop juice. Big citrus, pineapple, resin, grass, earth, dusty grape notes. Lingering oily finish, feels like a solid beer despite the low ABV.

Another killer from the Greensboro guys, cheers!

thanks to joe for hooking me up with this growler

A: Cloudy amber color with a faint tannish color head that is only about a quarter inch thick but leaves very nice gobs of weblike lace.

S: Nice citrus pine note with hints of apricot, lemon, pineapple, and mango. there is also a sticky pine note. Minimal amounts of caramel sweetness present in this hop forward IPA. Some floral notes and a hint of earthiness

T: Heavy pine and lemon citrus is the first flavor follow by a slight scallion note. Bits of caramel present. The pine is sticky and oily. The scallion/earthy tone to this one is a bit off putting. its not terrible but it over took the citrus a little bit

M: Very smooth with not harshness and light but with a good amount of body. No heat and good creaminess

D: This one goes down very easily and has all the qualities i usually look for in a IPA. the only complaint i have is that the citrus got overshadowed a bit otherwise this is a great brew!

Three rescued from desert island after writing 'help' on beach

Three men who had been missing for three days were rescued from a deserted Pacific island after a US Navy plane spotted the word "help" spelled out in palm leaves on the beach.

The men's families reported them missing on Tuesday after they failed to show up at the Micronesian island of Weno, US Coast Guard spokeswoman Melissa McKenzie said.

The men were travelling in a skiff from another Micronesian island when a wave overtook them, she said.

"Fortunately for them, they were all wearing life jackets and were able to swim to the deserted island," Ms McKenzie said.

The men were waving their orange life jackets when the Navy plane spotted them on the small island of Fanadik, several hundred miles north of Papua New Guinea.

Two hours later, a small local boat picked them up and took them to hospital.

Two bulk carriers searched a combined 17 hours for the men as part of AMVER, a US Coast Guard voluntary search and rescue program.

With AMVER, rescue coordinators can identify participating ships in the area of distress and ask them to help.

In the last two weeks, 15 people have been rescued in the Pacific with the help of 10 AMVER vessels and six aircrews, the US Coast Guard said.

Your horseracing tips
Your horseracing tips

Horses nominated as ones to follow, in The Star:

Winner at Fairyhouse on Sunday

Ger Lyons, trainer

"If she stays in training next year she could step up to a mile and aim for something like the Matron Stakes. I'm not sure where she will go next, although the Group Three Park Stakes at Doncaster (in September) could be a possibility."

Winner at Sandown on Saturday

James Ferguson, owner's representative

"He deserves to go up in grade now. Saeed (bin Suroor) was looking at a Listed race at Pontefract later in the month. I'm sure Saeed and the boss (Sheikh Mohammed) will talk about where he goes next."

Winner at Sandown on Saturday

John Gosden, trainer

"If he's in good form, of course the King George would be wonderful to run in, but if it's a dance too far then we wouldn't. We'll do right by the horse. He's not in the Arc, so he'd have to be supplemented. I think he'd be an Arc horse unless it went bottomless."

Winner at Haydock on Saturday

Lucy Wadham, trainer

"We'll probably give her a little holiday now and look at coming back for the Group One for fillies at Ascot in October with maybe one run before."

Winner at Newmarket on Thursday

John Gosden, trainer

"We'll go straight to the St Leger with him, he'll love it at Doncaster. Masked Marvel came here and did the same before winning the Leger. It's the right route for this horse. I'm not saying he's a Masked Marvel, but he's a very nice horse."

Winner at Pontefract on Tuesday

Nelius Haye, owner

"We'll look at the International at Ascot at the end of the month. I hope she gets in. We'll probably retire him at the end of the season."

Winner at Newmarket on Thursday

John Gosden, trainer

"He's a talented horse and has always been our fastest two-year-old this year. The plan now is to go for the Richmond Stakes at Goodwood."

Winner at Sandown on Friday

Saeed bin Suroor, trainer

"He always works well and was in good form. The mile and a quarter suits him well. The plan is to take him to York at the end of a month for a mile-and-a-quarter Group Two (Sky Bet York Stakes)."

Second at Sandown on Saturday

Kevin Ryan, trainer

"We're very proud of our horse and I think now we'll just wait for the Juddmonte (International). I'd love to take him back to York, our home track."

Third at Sandown on Saturday

John Gosden, trainer

"The ground would have been a little bit lively for him today and he will now have a short holiday. He will be freshened up for the Champion Stakes, which is his big target."

We have built something special at Cezanne HR: a powerful, configurable HR software solution that’s simple to deploy, easy to manage and remarkably cost-effective, whatever the size of your business.

HR management systems on the market today generally fall into one of two categories – simple and cheap, or sophisticated and expensive. The first are easy to deploy and straightforward to manage, but rarely offer the range of features or flexibility that today’s HR professionals need. The second have the potential to support more HR processes, but need to be ‘configured’ by the vendor before you can even get started. That means slower implementations, higher start-up costs and an on-going maintenance challenge that won’t go away.

It’s Black Friday, Y’all! I love to shop, but I really don’t like this particular day. I don’t like to shop in crowds, so I do must of my shopping online for Black Friday. Luckily, most retailers have caught on and let people like me shop deals online. Yay!! So, this Friday I’ll be snuggling up with my computer in bed and ordering the following items (or at least contemplating them!) Jackie weighed in on her picks too – so don’t think I’m going nuts here!

Some of these are book related and some are just for fun. Hopefully, you will like our round-up of Black Friday Sales! Continue reading “The Best of the Black Friday Sales”

Book and Game Pairings PLUS the Hottest New Reading Toy

30+ of the best games for all ages and books to pair with them! Perfect for the holidays and birthdays for the hard to shop for people in your life!

Reading and games go hand and hand.  Games bring hands-on learning and practical application to things learned in books.  For example, you may go over colors in Eric Carle books and a game will reinforce the concepts.  These pairings are great for holiday gifts and parties when you don’t know what to give a child.  Kids of all ages love games.

We think that these games and books are the perfect compliments to each other. The games are easy enough for little kids to play but fun enough that grown-ups won’t mind playing as well.  Sometimes games can get annoying for parents.  I cannot play another round of Hi Ho Cherry Oh or Chutes and Ladders. We have chosen games that will not drive you crazy when kids ask to play on repeat. We also included some book and game pairings for adults because Kirsten and I LOVE games.

An Enchanting Secret Garden Bedroom

Looking for an incredible nursery inspired by the secret garden? This secret garden bedroom is perfect for you!

When I think back to the most magical books of my childhood, I tend to think of classic children’s novels who have heroines with spirit and a dose of mischief who explore wondrous settings. Anne of Green Gables, The Little Princess, Pippi Longstocking, Heidi, and Matilda all rate high on my list of must-reads. Yet, Mary Lennox and the world she inhabits inside The Secret Garden has probably stayed with me the most as an adult.

I’m a dreamer and the very idea of having my own hidden oasis is too irresistible for my imagination to ignore. Luckily, I’m able to indulge my fantasies at places like Longwood Gardens, but I wanted to take it a step further and design a room based on Frances Hodgson Burnett’s enchanting book, The Secret Garden.  Continue reading “An Enchanting Secret Garden Bedroom”

Purdue University researchers successfully eliminated the native infection preferences of a Sindbis virus engineered to target and kill cancer cells, a milestone in the manipulation of this promising viral vector.

"This virus had been known to be a good vector for delivering therapeutic cargo, however it naturally infected all kinds of cells, and these diversions would compete with what we were instructing it to target," said Richard Kuhn, the Gerald and Edna Mann Director of Purdue's Bindley Biosciences Center. "We have now overcome a major challenge by not only inserting a targeting molecule of our choice, but also successfully stripping the virus of its native entry preferences. This was a big step in unlocking the potential of developing this virus into a platform for both targeted drug delivery, where it would sneak drugs inside cancer cells, and oncolytic virotherapy, where the virus itself destroys cancer cells."

The achievement also demonstrates the ability to use methods of manipulation previously only applied to proteins. The team combined the methods of rational design, in which certain portions of the virus were strategically altered based on known information about their structure and function, and directed evolution, in which random mutations were introduced to millions of copies of the virus and the results are then screened for the desired traits, he said.

"These experiments demonstrate that these two methods can be combined and used to create complex molecular machines, like this viral vector with a tailored targeting receptor," said Kuhn, who also is head of the Department of Biological Sciences. "We've now reached the point where we can easily change the virus to carry a variety of cargos and to seek out specific types of cells. We know where and how to add the characteristics we want and eliminate those that we do not."

A paper detailing the work was published in the October issue of the Journal of Virology and is currently available online. In addition to Kuhn, co-authors include Purdue postdoctoral researcher Zheng Liu, associate professor of biological sciences Wen Jiang and former postdoctoral researcher Hong-Sheng Dai. The National Institutes of Health funded this research.

Through standard rational design procedures the team inserted a human epidermal growth factor, or EGF, targeting sequence into the genome of the virus, and changed some of its amino acids to stabilize the addition, Kuhn said.

Cancer cells have large quantities of this growth factor receptor and it has been studied as a target for cancer therapies for nearly 30 years. When the ESV1 virus binds to the EGF receptor on a cancer cell it triggers a natural signal for the cell to internalize, or consume, the growth factor and the virus is carried in along with it, he said.

"This receptor is found in healthy human cells, however these cells won't be harmed by the ESV1 virus because they don't consume the growth factor in anywhere near the quantities cancer cells do," he said. "A healthy cell will easily be able to manage this virus, but cancer cells will gobble it up in overwhelming and deadly amounts."

The team developed a new directed evolution system, named tandem selection and enrichment, to shed the targeting to natural receptors and generate the desired characteristics within the virus. In the tandem selection and enrichment system the evolving viruses are transferred between two different host cells. One of the host cells was used as they screened for viruses with the desired traits and the other was then used to enrich the most promising viruses from that group.

Random mutations were introduced into the virus through the use of an error-prone polymerase, an enzyme involved in the DNA replication process. The result was many dead or non-functional viruses, but the team screened those that survived to find viruses that both retained the EGF targeting and dropped the intrinsic targeting of Sindbis virus. The most promising candidates were then enriched to amplify certain characteristics, and once the desired virus was achieved, it was cloned to create multiple exact copies, Kuhn said.

The resulting virus, named Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Specific Virus 1, or ESV1, doesn't replicate well and its effects will be more like a drug than a viral infection within a patient. It will likely only remain in the body for a short period of time and will not continue to infect the body. Patients will likely need more than one dose over the course of a cancer therapy, he said.

Because one's immune system will recognize and attack ESV1 after an initial exposure, the virus will have to be modified for each dose by switching out the envelope proteins, of which there is a panel available that could be easily swapped in and out, he said.

Kuhn and his research group studied the virus for years and built the foundation for this work by successfully assembling pieces of the virus in-vitro, placing different packages inside it and uncovering details of its structure and the behavior of its surface proteins.

The team next plans to further modify and refine ESV1 and prepare it for tests in animal models, he said.

Directed Evolution of a Virus Exclusively Utilizing Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor as the Entry Receptor

Hong-Sheng Dai, Zheng Liu, Wen Jiang, Richard J. Kuhn

Rational design and directed evolution are powerful tools to generate and improve protein function; however, their uses are mostly limited in enzyme and antibody engineering. Here we describe a directed evolution strategy, named tandem selection and enrichment system (TSES), and its use in generating virus with exclusive specificity for particular cellular receptor. In TSES, evolving viruses are sequentially and iteratively transferred between two different host cells, one for selecting receptor specificity and the other for enriching the fittest virus. By combining rational design and TSES, we generate a human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) Specific Virus 1 (ESV1). ESV1 has the backbone of Sindbis virus (SINV) and displays an EGF domain engrafted onto structural protein E@ after residue Pro192, together with eight amino acid changes stabilizing the E2-EGF chimera. ESV1 utilizes EGFR to initiate infection and has lost the capacity to interact with all known SINV receptors. A 12.2 Å cryoEM reconstruction of ESV1 reveals that the E2-EGF fusion adopts a fixed conformation with EGF sitting at the top of E2 spike; the EGFR binding interface faces outward and the EGF domain completely masks SINV receptor binding. The cryoEM structure of ESV1 explains the desirable properties of ESV1 and provides insights for its further modification. TSES expands the scope of directed evolution and can be easily extended to other targeting molecules and viral systems.

Reactive Oxygen Species: Not only bad for neurons

Schematic NADPH oxidase-May'14-blogpost

Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) are well known for their harmful effects to cells when abundant, such as in degenerative diseases or after injury of the nervous system. However, there is increasing evidence that ROS also play important signaling roles in normal tissue physiology. A recent study by the Suter lab characterized the localization of a major source of ROS, the enzyme complex nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase (NADPH oxidase), in growth cones, the growing tips of neuronal extensions. This work further revealed that NADPH oxidase and the actin cytoskeleton influence each other, suggesting a critical role of ROS in regulating neuronal growth cone motility and guidance. In summary, at physiological concentrations ROS can be good for neurons, too.

Commercial Break: Your proto-Muppet ultraviolence is here

17 June 2009

Back in 1957, a young Jim Henson got a gig making adverts for Wilkins coffee. He used the opportunity to hone his puppetry skills, using what are obviously prototype versions of what went on to become the Muppets. Here is a compilation of that early work. Hmm, strokes chin, very interesting.

What Henson also did was fill the ads with lashings of violence. Clubs, guns, bombs and guillotines are used with extreme prejudice against the Wilkins non-believer. It’s magnificent stuff and we were LOLing and ROFLing by the end of the second ad.

In one case, the phrase: “You know, people who don’t like Wilkins coffee just blow up sometimes” seems to be have been invented purely so that Henson can put a bomb under one of the characters. He’d never get away with it these days, health and safety, blah blah, won’t someone think about the children, blah blah blah...

[Super Punch via Boing Boing]

    lol, If they did this today. "buy the new i-phone..... OR DIE!!!"

    Those ads for Wilkins coffee were quite amusing.

What do you think?

North Texans make Forbes' wealthiest list

More than a dozen Dallas-Fort Worth residents rate in the Forbes magazine's World's Richest People list, which was released March 8.

Microsoft founder Bill Gates holds onto his spot as the world's wealthiest man with $56 billion; holding the top spot locally is Alice L. Walton, 57, of Mineral Wells, who is worth $15.5 billion and whose family owns Wal-Mart.

She ranks as the 26th wealthiest person on Earth, by the magazine's analysis.

Soaring oil, gas and real estate prices helped hike wealth, as did holdings in retail and telecommunications, the Forbes analysis showed.

Mavs owner Mark Cuban ranks 407th out 946 billionaires. He's in a 25-way tie for the spot with the likes of Subhash Chandra of India. Chandra founded and runs the Essel Group, with interests in media, packaging, amusement parks, online lottery and cable networks.

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones cracks the list at 754 with $1.3 billion.

Following is where some North Texans placed in the Forbes survey, followed by the name, place of residence, age and net worth (in billions).

  • No. 26, Alice Walton, Mineral Wells, 57, $16.6
  • No. 142, Robert Bass, Fort Worth, 59, $5.5
  • No. 150, Robert Rowling, Dallas, 53, $5.4

Revelation 17

A. We have just finished with the final seven bowl judgments of the Lord upon the earth, and the seas, and the atmosphere!

1. The earth is in total chaos and the battle lines are drawn for the final confrontation between the people of the earth under satan's control, and the Lord Himself!

2. The river Euphrates has been dried up to make way for the "kings of the whole earth" 16:14 so they can gather in a place called ARMAGEDDON.

3. It is here that the Lord will defeat His enemies and begin the reestablishing of His kingdom!

4. This morning we get the privilege of a little more information regarding "Mystery Babylon" and "The Mother of Harlots" as they relate to the system of the beast, and everything that opposes Jesus as Lord!

B. There have been many attempts to explain Babylon as Rome, as New York, and as many other cities other than Babylon itself!

1. It is helpful to remember that Revelation means "unveiling" not "veiling"!

a) It is the Lord's intent to help us understand the book of Revelation, not mask it with confusion!

b) Therefore we must assume that the word Babylon means the real city of Babylon!

(1) In fact, there are 4 specific passages in Revelation that call it a "city"

(2) We must also keep in mind that it is not just the city, but the whole system of false and ungodly worship that the name represents!

c) Babylon is mentioned 6 times in Revelation, but only in Revelation 17:5 is she called "Mystery, Babylon the great"!

d) Let's take a look!

A. Revelation 17:1-2 Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and talked with me, saying to me, "Come, I will show you the judgment of the great harlot who sits on many waters, 2 "with whom the kings of the earth committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth were made drunk with the wine of her fornication." (NKJV)

1. In our last study of chapter 16, we knew that Babylon was about to undergo some specific judgment of the Lord that would be specific to the atrocities of her wickedness!

2. We also knew from Revelation 16:9, that it would be with all the wrath the Lord could muster!

a) John is given an special invitation to come watch.

b) The word "whore" and the word "harlot" used in verse 5, are the same Greek word porne!

c) Porneia is the Greek word for "fornication and pornos the word for "fornicator" or "whoremonger".

d) It relates to anyone, male or female, who commit ungodly sexual acts!

(1) Biblically it is symbolic of spiritual adultery!

(a) In other words, anyone who loves and serves any other gods, other that the One and True God!

3. Babylon is accused of infecting and polluting "the kings of the earth".

a) This goes back, not just to ancient Babylon under Nebuchadnezzar where he reestablished the worship of Marduk as god:

b) But all the way back to Nimrod and the first city called Babel where pagan worship peaked!

(1) Every polytheistic, evolutionary, animistic/spiritistic, astrological, and idolatrous form of paganism can trace it's roots to this ancient city and it's culture!!!!

(2) You see it is very basic: Nimrod chose Satan rather than God as his object of worship!

(3) It was Nimrod's desire to rule the world as it always has been Satan's.

(4) It was then that the Lord mixed up their languages and scattered them into different parts of the world.

(a) But, in all pagan worship, the roots are the same, " spiritual adultery".

B. Revelation 17:3-6 So he carried me away in the Spirit into the wilderness. And I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast which was full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. 4 The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the filthiness of her fornication. 5 And on her forehead a name was written: MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. 6 I saw the woman, drunk with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. And when I saw her, I marveled with great amazement. (NKJV)

1. John is translated back in time and given a panoramic view of the events that have led up to this final judgment of the wrath of God!

2. The Holy Spirit is going to give us the interpretation in verses 8-18, but I want to point out a few things first.

a) The woman is arrayed in purple and scarlet, and gold and precious stones, and pearls.

b) She is represented as a beautiful queen, but her title gives her away!

(1) She is the "mother of whores".

(2) And her intoxicant, is the "blood of the martyrs of Jesus."

(a) In other words, she has taken great joy, to the point of being drunk, at the loss of human life and the spilling of blood of those who loved the Lord more than they loved their own life!

(b) The proverbs are full of wisdom and advice to avoid the physical as well as the spiritual adulterer. Proverbs 5:3-5 For the lips of an immoral woman drip honey, And her mouth is smoother than oil; 4 But in the end she is bitter as wormwood, Sharp as a two-edged sword. 5 Her feet go down to death, Her steps lay hold of hell. (NKJV)

(c) John was taken out by all of this to which the angel replied:

C. Revelation 17:7 But the angel said to me, "Why did you marvel? I will tell you the mystery of the woman and of the beast that carries her, which has the seven heads and the ten horns. (NKJV)

1. There is almost a rebuke in the angel's reply!

2. Perhaps John, like so many Christians had been so involved in his own personal needs and activities that he had missed much of this!

a) Sometimes we too get so caught up in life that we miss the overall plan of the Lord and how we need too be participating in that plan!

D. Revelation 17:8 "The beast that you saw was, and is not, and will ascend out of the bottomless pit and go to perdition. And those who dwell on the earth will marvel, whose names are not written in the Book of Life from the foundation of the world, when they see the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. (NKJV)

1. The beast is more than just a man!

a) You see ...it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment, Hebrews 9:27 (NKJV)

b) Yet this "beast" was in the past, was not at the time of John, and yet will be again!

c) The city of Babylon fits the description!

(1) It was once great, not much in John's time, and yet will rise again to be the center of the earth's social and religious power!!!

(2) The Christians will not be taken by this, but the earth dwellers will be caught under the Babylonian spell!

E. Revelation 17:9 "Here is the mind which has wisdom: The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits. (NKJV)

1. The only mind that has wisdom is a Godly mind!

a) In other words, Christians will know what is coming before the world has a clue.

2. Many interpreters think the 7 "hilled city" is Rome and the woman is the Roman Catholic church.

a) But, first of all the church does not sit on the seven hills of Rome. In fact its' churches are all over the world.

b) Also the word used here is actually is the word for "mountains", not the "hills" that are in Rome!

(1) The picture here is much bigger that just one church or group of churches!

(2) The next verse helps us out.

F. Revelation 17:10 "There are also seven kings. Five have fallen, one is, and the other has not yet come. And when he comes, he must continue a short time. (NKJV)

1. You see there are 7 kings who rule over these 7 mountains.

a) Mountains in Scripture, most often represent earthly kingdoms!

(1) Isaiah 2:2 Now it shall come to pass in the latter days That the mountain of the LORD's house Shall be established on the top of the mountains, And shall be exalted above the hills; And all nations shall flow to it. (NKJV)

(2) Daniel 2:44 "And in the days of these kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed; and the kingdom shall not be left to other people; it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever. (NKJV)

b) These 7 mountains are 7 kingdoms that comprise political Babylon and they all support the harlot!

(1) In other words they are all in support of the pagan idol worship in rebellion against the true God!

(2) 5 of these great kingdoms have come and gone.

(a) According to Daniel and our history books they are Persia, Greece, Egypt, Assyria, and of course, Babylon!

(3) One of these kingdoms was in existence at John's time. It was of course the Roman empire!

(4) The other is "yet to come" and will last only "for a short time."

(a) This last kingdom corresponds with the toes in Daniel's image and as we know most feet consists of 10 toes!

(b) It is most likely that this yet future "kingdom" will the 10 nation confederacy comprising the European Common Market!

(c) This Last great "kingdom" will last only the 1st 3 1/2 years of the tribulation!!!

G. Revelation 17:11-14 "And the beast that was, and is not, is himself also the eighth, and is of the seven, and is going to perdition. 12 "The ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority for one hour as kings with the beast. 13 "These are of one mind, and they will give their power and authority to the beast. 14 "These will make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, for He is Lord of lords and King of kings; and those who are with Him are called, chosen, and faithful." (NKJV)

1. Now we see an eighth head which is "of the seven".

a) In other words, the Babylonian system is resurrected in the system of the Antichrist, powered by Satan himself!

b) He, as the beast, will be head over the other 10 nation European Common Market.

c) They will be of "one mind, and give their power and authority to the beast".

(1) It will be with this political power and authority that the "system" will become strong enough to think they can win a war against the Lord Himself!

(2) They will lose!!!

H. Revelation 17:15-18 Then he said to me, "The waters which you saw, where the harlot sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations, and tongues. 16 "And the ten horns which you saw on the beast, these will hate the harlot, make her desolate and naked, eat her flesh and burn her with fire. 17 "For God has put it into their hearts to fulfill His purpose, to be of one mind, and to give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God are fulfilled. 18 "And the woman whom you saw is that great city which reigns over the kings of the earth." (NKJV)

1. The spiritually adulterous system will have the support of most of the world! FOR A WHILE!!

a) You see there will be a truce in Jerusalem, and the Temple will be rebuilt!

b) The spiritual harlotry will be world-wide!

2. But, eventually the 10 nations will abolish all forms of worship except the worship of the beast!!

a) They will think that this as all their own idea, but all the while the Lord is using their decisions to fulfill His own purposes for His people and kingdom!

b) In other words, "He is even using Satan against himself, to accomplish Godly purposes!

Re: “Locked and Loaded

In response to anonymous, the majority of mass shootings have in fact been perpetrated by self proclaimed left wingers and should anyone "decides he wants to shoot people" a law, policy, or sign designating a specific area as a Gun Free Zone is not going to stop them. Need examples, look at every mass shooting in recent history and you'll find they've all happened in Gun Free Zones. How exactly is Otter putting human life at risk? People are exercising their 2nd Amendment rights around you all the time and you are blissfully unaware. The arguments you people use are the same tired arguments that were used when CCW was first considered and made legal and none of your doomsday predictions about wild west shootouts have come to fruition off campus, what makes you so sure they will happen inside the invisible borders of BSU, UI, or ISU? You don't like guns-don't carry one. But, your lack of resolve to defend yourself based on your fear of an inanimate object should not negate my right to self defense regardless of wether or not I'm on a campus or across the street from campus. It would have been better if our legislature would have not passed this law and just nullified the campus policy banning guns, but they didn't. They compromised, placing more stringent restricitions on those who wish to carry on campus, so much so that very few will be willing or able to meet these restrictions.

Re: “Curt McKenzie's No-Huddle Offense

"No. 1: What's going to happen when a professor is in front of 275 students in a Boise State lecture hall and sees the barrel of a gun underneath somebody's sweater? The professor, or even a student in that class, is going to contact us. How do we investigate, and yes, we'll have to investigate, with the least disruption to that class? Some people say, 'You're just going to have to assume that it's one of the good guys with a gun, and you can walk away.' Well, the police don't walk away. We're going to have to have some kind of contact with that individual with the gun. How do we do that?"

How do they do it off campus? This is idiotic. If the individual is not brandishing their weapon and is simply experiencing what is essentially a wardrobe malfunction why is there any need to contact that individual?

"No. 2: If guns are taken out during some kind of dispute between two individuals, and a uniformed police officer comes to the scene and confronts those individuals, what's going to be their reaction in a split second? Police are instructed to yell: 'Police! Drop the weapon!' You better be dropping those weapons in a millisecond."

Any prudent individual is going to obey those orders. Just like off campus. These really are ignorant arguments. I would have hoped for more from the ranking andministrator or the largest city police department in the state. Seriously.

We've tried gun free zones and it's well apperant that they don't work against determined individuals who wish to do harm to large numbers of people. If my child was at BSU I'd prefer to know that there is at least a chance that in an active shooter scenario there may be at least one good guy with a gun. When seconds count the police are minutes away.

Re: “Stand Our Ground

""It's lonely, is it not, to be an Idahoan who believes there must be stricter controls on the gun trade?" You got a lot of nerve calling yourself an Idahoan. Yep, lonely. You should LEAVE Idaho and go find someplace more to your liking. Someplace that already has the progressive stance on guns that you so crave. Someplace that you won't be so lonely. Sooner rather than later would be good.
Seeya! Bye!

Re: “Gunning for a Fight

"Sorry, I must have missed a point where ANY solutions have been proposed...could you please restate or 'copy/paste'? Thank you."

Twice I have posted suggested solution.

"The President EXECUTES Law - "he shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed" - (from Article 2, Section 3)"

...and yet in the case of immigration law BHO has chosen to not "faithfully execute(d)" the law, and this is OK why? Because he disagrees with current law? Because politically it is to his advantage to desregard current law?

"So far, I have YET to read ONE of them here...just further insults and petulant chiding, more empty paranoia revolving around 'rights being stripped away' (when can we expect to actually SEE that happening?

You are guilty of "insults and petulant chiding" yourself. Several of us here have offered alternatives that don't infringe on the rights of law abiding gun owners and rather than respond to those you participate in the name calling and labeling. Stop with the double standards.

Re: “Gunning for a Fight

"Any IDEAS on that area?...;)
I am hoping to hear a few from gum proponents...."

Enforce existing law, sentences for gun crime should be strict enough to provide a real deterrent, sentences for repeat offenders should be life without parol, gun offenses should never be on the table for plea bargaining.

IMHO we have to do our best to provide a deterrent and if it doesn't work then remove the threat to public safety by incarcerating for good. At the same time if you want this to work it has to be applied uniformly and not allow charges to be bargained away.

"Why is it that NO other countries in the civilized world have to do such a thing?"

Israel does this, and quite successfully. Active shooter scenarios typically end when the shooter is confronted with equal force. This fact has influenced LEO tactics. They no longer wait for SWAT because they know that the shooter will likely turn his weapon on himself when confronted. Why not allow school staff that wish to carry concealed and go through state mandated certification to do so? The faster we can respond with kind force to these psychos the better right? Besides it would provide a deterrent to the potential shooter if they knew that schools weren't totally defenseless.

Lefty Driesell should be in the Basketball Hall of Fame

Georgia State head coach Charles 'Lefty' Driesell talks to his team at practice in Atlanta Tuesday, March 13, 2001. The end might have come when Driesell was forced out in disgrace at Maryland. or it might have come when he was unceremoniously dumped by James Madsion. But the 68-year-old Driesell is still alive and kicking, ready to take Georgia State to the NCAA tournament. (AP Photo/Ric Feld)
ric fel/AP file
Lefty Driesell with Georgia State in 2001.

Lefty Driesell won 786 games, which is 23rd all-time. He had a winning percentage of 66.6 while coaching at Davidson, most notably Maryland, James Madison, and Georgia State.

At Davidson and Maryland, he had many nationally ranked teams, but he never reached the Final Four. His 1973-74 Maryland team might be the best team not to make the NCAA Tournament. The Terps lost to North Carolina State, 103-100, in overtime in the ACC tournament final at a time when only one school from each conference made the tournament. North Carolina State went on to win the national championship; Maryland declined an NIT bid and ended its season.

Despite all that, Driesell is not in the Basketball Hall of Fame. All of that is detailed in a superlative story by David Kindred (a sportswriting hall of famer) in a story on The Fieldhouse, the college basketball area of the pay-subscription site The Athletic. Don’t worry, this one is free, so go read it.

Kindred admits that he thought Driesell was already in the Hall of Fame. Driesell says he believes he’s not included because of the death of Len Bias, the Celtics’ draft pick who died of a cocaine overdose the day after the 1986 NBA Draft. Bias played for Driesell at Maryland.

The Globe’s Bob Ryan has been honored with the Curt Gowdy Award by the Hall, so technically he’s a member. He’s part of an exhibit. He also has been a member of the nominating committee and the voting committee. At this time, he’s not involved in either.

“The personality, the image overwhelmed the achievement,’’ said Ryan. “I needed to be reminded what he accomplished not only at Maryland but at Davidson.

“He’s overlooked. There’s an element of buffoonery. People don’t take him seriously; he’s a character.’’

In his voting days, Ryan said, he never encountered anyone citing Bias’s death as a reason to exclude Driesell. It had more to do with his reputation as a recruiter than his work as a coach. Maybe some thought he played fast and loose with the rules, but as Ryan pointed out to me, there are a few coaches in the Hall with similar reputations.

“Len Bias certainly wouldn’t be the reason,’’ said Ryan. “He’s a borderline candidate; I am not going to carry the torch for Lefty, nor would I oppose him.’’

OK, committee. Let’s put him in.

.   .   .

Meanwhile, here are the games I’d like to see this weekend:

Duquesne vs. Pittsburgh at the New Igloo: This is a rivalry game that Duquesne rarely wins, although the Dukes did win last season to break a 15-year losing streak. Both teams are awful this season, so that gives the Dukes a chance for a winning streak . . . but I doubt it.

Purdue at Maryland: I find this very interesting. Purdue has a chance to be a Big Ten contender but the Boilers lost a pair in the Bahamas. A road win at the Giant Cable Television Giant Fieldhouse would be a good way to start.

North Carolina vs. Davidson at Spectrum Center in Charlotte, N.C.: This is kind of a Davidson home game, but I’m willing to bet there will be more sky blue than scarlet in the arena, which usually houses the NBA Hornets.

Illinois at Northwestern: The Wildcats have been more like Mildcats this season. They were in the preseason Top 25 but are just 4-3. At this early date, it’s critical that they win home games in conference play.

Creighton at Gonzaga: A late start in Spokane (10 p.m. on ESPN2) for an excellent matchup. I see a possible upset for the Bluejays.

Cincinnati at Xavier: This might be the game of the weekend; two nationally ranked teams engaging in a heated rivalry. Cincy is known for being physical and defensive-minded but the Bearcats have shown a lot more offense this season while winning their first seven games impressively. X has the home court and has also played well this season. How about four overtimes with a buzzer-beater to win?

Wichita State at Baylor: Baylor has only one loss (to Xavier in Cincinnati) in what has been a surprising start. Wichita is a Final Four contender playing a challenging road game. I think the Shockers will meet it.

Georgia at Marquette: An unusual matchup (I always like those). UGa is 5-1, Marquette is 5-2, so this will be a key out-of-conference victory for one of them. I think UGa in an upset.

Harvard at Kentucky: Probably won’t watch this because it won’t be pretty, but I wanted to let you know it’s happening.

Dartmouth at Canisius: Why, you ask? Because I’ll be there in person since I’m traveling to Buffalo for the Patriots-Bills game and I can’t resist live action. If the game times had matched up, I would have tried to hit the Saint Bonaventure-Buffalo game, too. The ultimate would have been a Buffalo-Bona/Niagara-Canisius doubleheader at the KeyBank Center. No such luck, but I’ll happily watch the Golden Griffins.

Providence at Rhode Island: This is a great rivalry, but much better when Rhody is good, and the Rams are this season. It can’t really be classified as a must win for Rhody but I think they REALLY HAVE TO WIN THIS ONE.

Villanova at Saint Joseph’s: Nova should win easily, but I put this on the list because, according to, this is the most expensive ticket of the day on the secondary market (starting at $189). That’s because the game will be played at the Hawks’ 4,200-seat Hagan Arena. It should be played at the Palestra.

Seton Hall of Louisville: I love the Pirates, who are a fun team to watch and the pieces seem to fit together just right. Big man Angel Delgado could be a contender for some All-American teams. The Pirates are capable of an upset at the Pitino Palace; they just need to play their best. Maybe we should change the name of the Cardinals’ venue to Adidas Slush Fund Arena?

Concrete poetry

Alternative Title: concretism

Concrete poetry, poetry in which the poet’s intent is conveyed by graphic patterns of letters, words, or symbols rather than by the meaning of words in conventional arrangement. The writer of concrete poetry uses typeface and other typographical elements in such a way that chosen units—letter fragments, punctuation marks, graphemes (letters), morphemes (any meaningful linguistic unit), syllables, or words (usually used in a graphic rather than denotative sense)—and graphic spaces form an evocative picture.

  • Forsythia (1966), by Mary Ellen Solt, is an example of concrete poetry, a genre that lacks such traditional poetic elements as regular measures or rhyme and instead takes exclusively visual forms.
    The poem “Forsythia” (1966), by Mary Ellen Solt.
    By permission of Mary Ellen Solt

The origins of concrete poetry are roughly contemporary with those of musique concrète, an experimental technique of musical composition. Max Bill and Eugen Gomringer were among the early practitioners of concrete poetry. The Vienna Group of Hans Carl Artmann, Gerhard Rühm, and Konrad Bayer also promoted concrete poetry, as did Ernst Jandl and Friederike Mayröcker. The movement drew inspiration from Dada, Surrealism, and other nonrational 20th-century movements. Concrete poetry has an extreme visual bias and in this way is usually distinguished from pattern poetry. It attempts to move away from a purely verbal concept of verse toward what its proponents call “verbivocovisual expression,” incorporating geometric and graphic elements into the poetic act or process. It often cannot be read aloud to any effect, and its essence lies in its appearance on the page, not in the words or typographic units that form it. At the turn of the 20th century, concrete poetry continued to be produced in many countries. Notable contemporary concrete poets include the brothers Haroldo de Campos and Augusto de Campos. Many contemporary examples of animated concrete poetry can be found on the Internet.

discovery and preparation of nitroglycerin

Pure nitroglycerin is a colourless, oily, somewhat toxic liquid having a sweet, burning taste. It was first prepared in 1846 by the Italian chemist Ascanio Sobrero by adding glycerol to a mixture of concentrated nitric and sulfuric acids. The hazards involved in preparing large quantities of nitroglycerin have been greatly reduced by widespread adoption of continuous nitration processes.

Nitroglycerin, another chemical explosive, was discovered by an Italian chemist, Ascanio Sobrero, in 1846.

Pan Tianshou, Wade-Giles romanization P’an T’ien-shou (born March 14, 1897, Ninghai, Zhejiang province, China—died September 5, 1971, Hangzhou), Chinese painter, art educator, and art theorist who was one of the most important traditional Chinese painters of the 20th century.

Pan learned literature, painting, and calligraphy as a child in a private school in his village. At 19 his knowledge of Chinese painting was formed when he enrolled at Zhejiang Provincial Teachers’ College in Hangzhou, where he studied with the famous scholars and painters Jing Hengyi and Li Shutong. Like most students of the time, Pan participated in student parades and shared the revolutionary spirit of the May Fourth Movement in 1919.

Pan began his career teaching Chinese painting in 1923, when he moved to Shanghai to accept an assignment. In that same year, he met the 80-year-old master of the Shanghai school, Wu Changshuo, and the two painters became intimate friends. They often discussed painting and calligraphy and Wu gave the younger artist continuous support and encouragement. Pan’s style during this period can be traced back to a variety of Chinese masters, including the Ma-Xia tradition of Southern Song, the Wu and Zhe schools of the Ming dynasty, and the Qing master Bada Shanren.

In 1928 he left Shanghai for Hangzhou to teach at the newly established Hangzhou National Art College. Throughout subsequent decades he would devote himself to teaching at a series of art schools and associations, including the Zhejian Academy of Fine Arts.

Under the pressure of tremendous Western influences on Chinese painting development, Pan was concerned about the conflicts and interchanges between foreign and traditional elements in Chinese painting. To this end, in 1932 he and his friends set up a traditional Chinese painting society, Bai she (“White Society”), which aimed to develop Chinese painting in the reforming spirit of the Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou of the Qing dynasty. He argued that Chinese and Western art were derived from two totally different perspectives and therefore should remain distinct; any compromise between the two would weaken each tradition’s unique nature. In his own teaching, he included Chinese traditions of calligraphy, seal carving, and literature. After 1949, art academies of the new China adopted the style of Socialist Realism, and Pan’s insistence on the traditional inheritance became unpopular.

Pan’s style took shape in the 1940s and gained full maturity in the mid-1950s. He successfully integrated the traditional subjects of flower-and-bird painting and landscape. Like Wu Changshuo, he applied the aesthetics of calligraphy and seal carving to his painting; but, unlike Wu, he adopted and advanced the forcefulness and heaviness of the Zhe school. His compositions were often dynamic, seeming to balance extreme opposing forces and thus evoking a feeling of danger. His brush was powerful and expressive, inducing a sense of thrill in the viewer.

In 1962 Pan held an individual exhibition at the newly founded Chinese Art Museum in Beijing, exhibiting 90 works of painting, seal carving, and calligraphy. Soon after the start of the Cultural Revolution in 1965, however, Pan began to be persecuted, and continued to be until his death in 1971.
