Hi, I am new here so I apologise if this is in the wrong place. On my PC, I have thirteen GB's of photographs that I wish to store on my iPad. I bought a sixty four GB iPad as I am a photograph/picture addict. What are good ways to do this? I would also like to transfer photos from my iPad onto my PC whilst retaining folders I make in my photos on the iPad, so my photos aren't unorganised. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
You can add photos to the iPad through iTunes. Plug it in to the computer and wait until iTunes recognizes it. Select your device on the left then click photos near the top. You'll have to make it sync a chosen folder from your PC. that part should be easy enough to figure out. I don't have iTunes in front of me to give a tutorial. As for keeping folders when you copy from iPad to PC, sadly I do not think that is possible though I could be wrong
G' day Mercy, I use an App "SkyDrive", (download the App to the PC and to the iPad) and you can sync from PC to iPad and vice versa easily by dropping your photos into the SkyDrive folder. (Free up to 7 gigs, but at a cost for more gigs, (check and compare on that with others) I like SkyDrive as it seems a lot more generous with its free cloud storage than a lot of other popular ones. Regards, Andrew Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
The photos app is a poor choice if you want good photo organization tools. You'll probably want a third party app. Photo Manager Pro is fairly popular, and often recommended by members of this forum, but there are a wide variety of photo storage/display apps in the App Store, many of the specialized for specific types of users; photo journals, portfolios, etc. I can't offer any personal experience, but I recommend some searching and research in the App Store using keywords related to your specific photography needs. Each app has it's own methods of importing/exporting photos. Most will import/export to the Photos app itself (necessary at least occasionally), but you should also take into account this feature set when considering what app you purchase. Good luck.
Thanks guys, I'll have a look at all of the suggestions. Keeping folders altogether is important so I'll keep that in mind whilst I do.
I strongly suggest that you do not transfer your photos to your IPad. I work with images for working situations and I uploaded about 5,500 photos from my computer through an iTunes transfer process and have since found that they cannot simply be deleted. There is a pretty extensive thread on this issue. You may want to investigate the process before you do a transfer.
Wouldn't mind seeing that thread for my own info at least if not for others' benefit. Difficult to find it without some title. But anyway, what you say is correct - they cannot be deleted simply. Well not if you want to wear your finger out by tapping on each individual photo and tapping the Delete function. As you synced those photos via iTunes, you can delete them in iTunes and on re-syncing see them no longer appear on your iPad. Using any of the cloud-based transfer facilities like iTunes, DropBox, SkyDrive etc is still a great way to get photos onto your iPad from a PC. Regards, Andrew Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I coerced my friend Ellie into pulling back her Band-aid so I could shoot her boo-boo. She got into a fight with a window, and as you can see, the window won.

Dental dam and or seran wrap for oral sex on femaleFeb 16, 2003 Basically, this girls boyfriend is going on vacation and so i get to replace him for a while(i know it's bad..) but im going to use a latex condom... and flavored condom for oral done to me but should i use seran wrap, or a dental dam,(which i've never seen),for performing oral on her because i don't know if he's infected her with anything.... and is there a flavored dental dam or other protection for me to use because i usually incorporated syrup during oral sex..... thnx!! |
Response from Mr. KullPlastic wrap, a latex condom cut into a square, or dental dams can all be used to protect you from HIV infection when performing oral sex on a woman. Flavored dental dams and condoms do exist! See Condomania's website for a wide selection of products. Try to avoid using food products in combination with latex, unless you are sure that it isn't oil-based. Many food products could be considered oil-based, which could damage the latex.

During the event, Lovato was presented with a large gold key to thank her for her work as grand marshall, and she later posted on her Twitter.com page, "Happy @LApride Day to my #Lgbt brothers & sisters!

Buying resale bags online is terrifying. I've been there, done that more than a dozen times, and sending a thousand dollars or more to a stranger in exchange for a bag which I have not yet seen in person does not get any less nerve-racking after repeated attempts. In fact, I'm feeling a bit of residual anxiety just thinking about it.
If you're thinking about taking the eBay or Bonanzle plunge for the first time in search of your one true bag love, the number of hurdles that stand in the way of a successful purchase can seem daunting. Let my past experiences be your guide – we've got five ways to get yourself started on the path toward resale shopping success.
1. If it seems too good to be true, it probably is. This is the first and most important rule of online resale shopping. An Hermes Birkin for $100? Don't do it, honey. The seller has a dozen Balenciaga bags, all in the same hard-to-find 2005 color, listed at the same time? Run the other way. If you find your dream bag on eBay or Bonanzle and it's going for a fraction of the original price, it's probably fake. If you've got a bag in mind, look up old transactions and find out how much the real thing goes for when resold or consult the Online Deals threads in PurseForum's brand sections for links to authentic bags that our members have found.
2. Know your payment options. PayPal, Western Union, Google Checkout, bank transfer, mailed check…which ones are safe? Are any of them safe? Never do a bank or wire transfer or mail a check unless you can trust the seller with your life (and really, even then, don't). PayPal and Google Checkout have more safeguards in the event that your bag is damaged or fake, but no system is foolproof. Using a credit card with a liberal chargeback policy (I'd suggest American Express) through a third-party transaction partner like PayPal is probably your safest option (and the only one that is technically allowed on eBay), but make sure to read the terms and conditions of any service or credit source before you spend your money.
3. Educate yourself and consult the experts. Our PurseForum is great, and I'm not just saying that as a veteran member and moderator. The people that post over there are an absolute wealth of information about bags present and past, and most sections also have a very dedicated, knowledgeable group of volunteer authenticators that will give you their opinions on resale bags that may have caught your eye. Remember, though, they're just opinions.
4. Don't be afraid to ask questions. After you've learned about the bag and what best indicates authenticity, make sure you get any necessary pictures that weren't already included in the seller's listing. If he or she expects you to pay hundreds or thousands of dollars for a bag, you have every right to every last photo that you want in order to assure yourself that you're getting what you think you are. If the seller hems and haws about providing additional photos or information, it might be a good idea to walk away. Which leads us to…
5. Listen to your gut. If something seems off about the bag or the seller, don't ignore it. Even if you can't but your finger on exactly what's wrong, that suspicion is likely there for a reason. Another must-have purse will always come along; don't risk your hard-earned dollars on a purchase that might come with some, uh, baggage.

It is an extremely unstable form of matter, and also a rich source of magical energy. Prolonged contact with warpstone causes extreme mutations and death. The only noticeable exceptions to this rule are the race of ratmen known as Skaven, who have a strange affinity to the stuff.
The elite Skaven sorcerers, the Grey Seers, accumulate magical energy by ingesting warpstone dust. The warlock-engineers of the Clan Skryre build horrific war machines fuelled on warpstone in various forms And Clan Moulder use the mutating power of warpstone to genetically engineer beasts of war, such as Rat Ogres.
For this reason, Skaven Clans spend a great deal of effort to collect and stockpile warpstone.
Warpstone is, of course, a thinly-disguised reference to plutonium.

Longtime "Survivor" couple Ethan Zohn and Jenna Morasca are ending their relationship after 10 years together.
"It is with much consideration and a heavy heart that we are announcing that after 10 years of a loving relationship, the decision was made to move on without each other," the couple said in an exclusive statement to People.com.
"We will carry with us the memories of a relationship grounded in love, laughter, support and friendship," the statement continued. "We have experienced some of life's greatest joys and toughest challenges together and our decision to be apart can never diminish that. We want to thank everyone for their support and we ask that our privacy be respected as we move forward."
Morasca, 32, and Zohn, 38, have endured some trying experiences during their time together, including Zohn's battle with Hodgkins lymphoma.
They are both "Survivor" winners — she won "Survivor: Amazon" (2003) and he won "Survivor: Africa" (2002) — and they competed as a couple on "The Amazing Race" in 2011.

Taaha Shah - The next big thing!
After making an impactful debut in YRF's Luv Ka The End, Taaha is currently getting praises for his role in Dharma Production's Gippi, his second film. With two big banners keeping faith in this young actor's caliber, Taaha has got it all going for him.
Karan Johar, who cast the actor in his last production, says, "Taaha has a strong screen presence that combines machismo and vulnerability, I am sure he will have a great innings at the movies."
Tahaa, who has also been auditioned by Satish Kaushik, has quite impressed the director who says that Taaha comes across as a fiery and gutsy individual, the right mix of what young Bollywood actors should be made up of. The actor has a strong screen presence and has won many accolades for his acting skills.
Several industry bigwigs have taken notice of Taaha and encouraged the good looking actor, Ramesh Taurani being one of them. He has closely followed the actor's work and he, too, sees great potential in Taaha. He hopes that the right choice of films will ensure a strong foothold for Taaha in the film industry.
Rensil D'Silva too has great words of encouragement for the good looking actor, as he says, "Taaha has the right mix of vulnerability and intensity to straddle many genres from a romcom to an intense drama to a thriller. And to top it all, he's a good actor. That's an enviable mix."
Nikhil Advani believes that Taaha is one of the few aspiring new talents brimming to show that acting is about versatility and with his second film Gippi, he's chosen the right path. With such big names keeping faith in the talented actor, Taaha certainly has a long way to go.

Abstract Art Texture Demonstration
The response to my new abstract art textures has been really gratifying! I so appreciate your interest, enthusiasm and patronage. Some of you have asked for examples, recipes and work flow explanations on how to use the these dramatic textures. Here's the first:
I made this piece of abstract art in under ten minutes last night. The abstract art textures really facilitate the whole process!
The first thing I suggest when you want to create a piece of abstract art using your photographs and abstract art textures, is to gather some photos that you think might make interesting components in a piece of abstract art, into your project bin in Photoshop - or whatever editing program you use. You can see that you do not have to use spectacular photos - very mundane ones that have some graphic quality to them will work well. (I have only numbered them here to help you know which ones I used for a particular piece.)
For the above piece of art, I used a flower photo, #11 as my base (background) photo. I then applied the backlit green leaves, #10 to the flower.
pdpa abstract art texture "Splendid" is the one I selected to use for this experiment. I call it an experiment because you never really know what you are going to get until you try it. That's what makes it exciting for me. It can also be frustrating at times, however, because combinations you are sure will work, sometimes just don't. When that happens I just move on and select new photos and new texture combinations.
This screen shot shows the layers progression. The actual recipe is as follows:
* Open white flower (#11) in PS
* Drag backlit leaves (#10) on top of flower
* Blend backlit leaves and flower in Multiply, opacity 100%
* Apply (in my case I dragged) Splendid abstract art texture onto top layer
* Blend Splendid texture into layers beneath, in Hard Light, opacity 100%
* Made a Levels Adjustment pulling grey slider to 1.24 and white slider to 218 to bring in more light
* Add signature
Now how easy is that?!!! A great result with just three components and a few tweaks in PSE.
A few other tips:
* Always have several photos with interesting shapes, lines, edges open in your project bin that you can add to your composition if one photo is just not doing the trick
* Be open to using more than one texture if you think it is needed
* If you like what the marriage of one photograph and texture produce and you would like to use them together again, you can make your end result look different by cropping and/or rotating any of your digital components
* Play a bit with your photograph before you marry it with the texture. Try using some of Photoshops Filters on the photograph to simplify or distort it. I've used Liquify, Cutout, Splatter with interesting results. Then apply the abstract art texture to your Filtered photo
* While I want to demonstrate only what can be achieved using my textures in Photoshop and am not using any plug-ins to tweak my examples of abstract art, if you have RadLab or Topaz you can use them on your finished piece of work to see if they add a little 'je ne sais quoi' to the piece

What & when are your copyright rights?
Keep your hands off my image!
The other Saturday I wrote a small musing on the art business practices; half the comments in the first two days were on copyright protection rather than gallery representation or sales to consumers. I had thought that this subject would be somewhat passé by now; the Copyright Protection Act was passed in 1975 and took effect on January 1, 1976. Jeez! Where have you been for the last 38 years? So, I put on my wrist brace and here's the skinny in a short form (there are books, articles, and the Library of Congress website.)
It's a good news/bad news situation. The bad news is that there is NO "poor man's" copyright, as such. The good news is that as soon as you have put your idea in "tangible form" you, the artist, have a de facto copyright, with certain exceptions. The old notion of putting an image in an envelope and mailing it to yourself does establish a certain date of production, but it does not give you any other protection.
You do have to establish your intent to have copyright protection by signing, dating, and affixing the copyright notice in one of the several forms: C in a circle, Copyr., or Copyright all rights reserved. IT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE ON THE FRONT OF THE IMAGE; it must be where "it can be reasonably found". There are some international differences depending on the country of production or infringement, but they're fairly minor.
Insert "LOVE"
So, now you have a copyright, what good does it do you? First off, does your work lend itself to popular appeal? One of the largest copyright problems of the 20th century was Robert Indiana's LOVE painting ( a pre-1976 work, "published" without the copyright notice required at the time) that has been used for everything from napkins to public sculptures without Indiana getting a penny. If your image has that type of appeal you probably should file the copyright with the Library of Congress Copyright Office; it's a simple form and costs about $10. That's because your copyright cannot be enforced (sue for infringement) until you have registered it; meaning when I print up the calendar with your image, you can't sue me without registration. And paradoxically, I have a copyright on the calendar and if I registered it, you've got a real expensive fight on your hands. And if you haven't registered the copyright before I infringe it, your damages are substantially reduced. If I infringe after you have registered, you have me by the short hairs.
Insert "Christina's World"
However, copyright does NOT now pass through upon the sale of the object. You retain the copyright unless you relinquish it IN WRITING! Be careful with the sales agreement you sign; it can even be in small print on a sales receipt. This was a major change in the 1976 Act; Wyeth's most reproduced image "Christina's World" was purchased by the Museum of Modern Art under the old standards, and they, not he, own the copyright (and have sold the bejeesus out of it)…
One of the exceptions I mentioned is that if the piece was done as "a work for hire" the copyright belongs to the person hiring you unless you have contractual agreement to the contrary. Many of you who do freelance graphic design are screwed unless you make certain in the contract that you retain copyrights. Works done "on commission" potentially have the same problem unless you have contractual agreement to the contrary. Nobody in the art world wants to deal with contracts, they're too complicated, you need a lawyer, they're too expensive, etc.
Cool !!! keep thinking like that, I'm going into the calendar business.
And I have intentionally skipped over one aspect of copyright that has a good sized constituency: digital art (especially on the web). That is covered by the "Sonny Bono Act of 1999?". I'm not a "digiteraty" and I'm not up to speed on that aspect; you'll have to research that yourself.
You have a multitude of resources out there, one of the best books (that's still in print, I think) is the Legal Guide for Visual Artists (5th ED.), by Tad Crawford (ISB 978-1-58115-74-0) {You owe me Tad! He was scheduled to give a workshop in Houston back in the 1980's, but was ill and never made it.}
If you really have an immediate problem you could dial 713-526-4876 and talk to one of the people at Texas Accountants and Lawyers for the Arts (TALA). They've helped me in the past, they can help you too. Their help is on a sliding scale from free to less than corporate rates, depending on your financial situation.
Actually, I'm in an ambiguous situation when I write and post this; while I 'm not writing these things for the money, I have hellacious taxes due after the first of the year, and if I do get paid, perhaps I'm writing "for hire".
As Dickens said in 1859, "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times."
Let's be careful out there.

Thanks for the article. Always important to remind ourselves about this stuff. I thought the issue with Indiana's LOVE is that it was created pre-1976 but not registered through the copyright office. If it had been created after that date wouldn't it be protected under International Copyright Law whether or not registration had been filed? I thought it was the lack of precedent cases in the courts where judgments had been made upholding the law that created the gray area where registration was still necessary. I've no idea whether those precedents have now been created but you'd think or hope so…
Indiana's LOVE was indeed done and exhibited ("published") before the 1976 law, and at the same time did not have the copyright notice affixed (I'm not sure if it was even signed). Registration is no longer needed to HAVE a copyright, but it is necessary before you can SUE for infringement. Further, if it has not been registered BEFORE infringement the level of reimbursement for damages is reduced.

— The Los Angeles Dodgers called up right-hander John Ely to start Sunday's game against the San Diego Padres and placed rookie catcher Hector Gimenez on the 15-day disabled list.
The 24-year-old Ely went 4-10 with a 5.49 ERA with the Dodgers last season.
Gimenez, who made his first major league start on April 2, has right knee inflammation. Gimenez, one of the team's two reserve catchers, made his first opening day roster this season and had appeared in four games.
The Dodgers originally were going to send down reserve C A.J. Ellis to Triple-A Albuquerque but changed course when they found out that Jimenez was hurt.

Along the Gaviota coast the sea
is calm, expectant, and the lowering sun
raises gray shades to interlace each tree
as if of winter's silken webs was spun
this scandent fog. Lace tight this splintered wood;
bind well this sundered, weather-riven bole,
split to the heart. I had misunderstood,
beguiled by placid sun, how great a toll
this shore imposes. Here above the strait,
this soul as fractured as a cypress, all
my nature's angels thus adjudicate
and find me wanting. Here before the fall
I watch the sun despond, the breeze abate,
the past come to a close, the end, that's all.

Joshua tree calendar for 2010
by Chris Clarke
Because the new year looms a mere 95 days or so away, and because the world needs one more desert landscape photography calendar to help you navigate the new year, this blog proudly offers the somewhat grandiosely named Sentinels of The Mojave 2010 Calendar. It costs just $20.10. See what I did there?
All proceeds from sales of this calendar go to buying me coffee while I grind out chapters of the Joshua tree book. So buying one, or a dozen, is really an act of charity when you get right down to it. Charity toward the trees, I mean. Not me. It's all about the trees.

Remembering September 11
by Chris Clarke
From a conversation between US President Richard M. Nixon and National Security Advisor Henry Kissinger, September 16, 1973.
Nixon: Nothing new of any importance or is there?
Kissinger: Nothing of very great consequence. The Chilean thing is getting consolidated and of course the newspapers are bleeding because a pro-Communist government has been overthrown.
Nixon: Isn't that something. Isn't that something.
Kissinger: I mean instead of celebrating – in the Eisenhower period we would be heroes.
Nixon: Well we didn't – as you know – our hand doesn't show on this one though.
Kissinger: We didn't do it. I mean we helped them. [garbled] created the conditions as great as possible.
Nixon: That is right. And that is the way it is going to be played.

America's High Schools Aren't Encouraging Enough Students To Become Cyberspies
A new survey from defense giant Raytheon found 82% of respondents never had high school teachers or guidance counselors tell them about possible jobs in cybersecurity.
One of America's biggest defense contractors says high schools are failing to steer students toward jobs in cybersecurity. A new survey by Raytheon and Zogby Analytics found that, out of a thousand 18- to 26-year-olds, 82% were never told in high school they could pursue cybersecurity jobs. The study added that, "as career opportunities in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) fields intersect with those in the cyber realm, the demand for students and young professionals in these burgeoning fields shows no signs of waning. In fact, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, network systems and information security professionals can expect job opportunities to grow by 53 percent through 2018." In other words: Cybersecurity and cyberdefense are big job growth areas and high schools aren't keeping up.
A surprisingly high amount of respondents–24%–said they would like to pursue careers as cybersecurity professionals. By comparison, 39% want to be entrepreneurs and 17% want to be "Wall Street analysts." The study also found a massive gender gap for information security jobs: 35% of male respondents considered careers in cybersecurity, while only 14% of female respondents did. Other portions of the survey revealed what we already know: Most 18- to 26-year-olds are awful at online privacy and security.
Raytheon provides crucial cybersecurity support to the U.S. government, military, and many private clients (especially in finance and public utilities). The study was commissioned to mark National Cyber Security Awareness Month, which is sponsored by the Department of Homeland Security and the National Cyber Security Alliance.

Lots of posts today, sorry for that. This one will be short.
So, Final Gather is slow as molasses. Furthermore it seems to be not working right in my code. But, it is very important for smoothing out noise in the photon map. Enter the irradiance cache.
The irradiance cache is a concept introduced by Greg Ward and co. back in 1988 and I believe is part of Ward's Radiance renderer. The paper that describes it in detail (and which is surprisingly easy to read) can be found here (hint to Scott, check this out):
The basic idea is that diffuse inter-reflections are very hard to compute using Monte Carlo methods (and Final Gather is a Monte Carlo method) but by-and-large they are very uniform and slowly changing across a surface (i.e. a good candidate for interpolation). So we would like to reduce the number of times it needs to be computed and interpolate everywhere else.
Ward describes a two tiered method: the primary method is the standard Monte Carlo method and the secondary method will interpolate cached values from previous computations. The secondary method needs to know when it can interpolate and how to weight the cached values. This is done by approximating the gradient of irradiance between the cached point and the point we need irradiance for. If the gradient estimate is too high a new value is needed. Otherwise we can weight the cached value by the inverse of the error inherent in the estimate and get a very good approximation that is considerably cheaper than the Monte Carlo method.
The devil's in the details and I won't bore you with it (other than to say it involves an octree based around the valid distance of each cached sample). But with Jensen's summary of Ward's paper (and the paper itself) I think I've got the Irradiance Cache implemented. It needs some testing and such (still to come) but hopefully this will help with noise and speed ... provided I can then figure out what is wrong with the Final Gather!
I'd kill for smaller unit testing right now but we'll see if we need it first.

Last time sewer line cleaned: 1997
About a week ago Acme Drain Cleaning Service left a flyer on my front doorstep. The flyer got my attention, and made me think about getting the sewer line between the house and the street cleaned out. It's bright yellow and I left it on my desk as a reminder of the possible disaster awaiting me and my checkbook if I ignored this important issue too long. Should I call these guys?

Portfolio: Before and After
I'm a fan of WIRED. It's about technology, mostly, but they often include features about the intersection of technology, design, entertainment, economics, business, etc. So technology is their "lens for looking at the world.

"Wing Man"
As an avid kayaker, I have spent hundreds of hours on the water. On certain occasions, unique things occur. Recently, as a paddled, a Bald Eagle started flying back and forth (up and down river). He circled looking for fish nearly 100 feet above the water. A few minutes later, I noticed a Heron on the rock bank also attempting the same task (catch dinner!), but the technique was different.

Track this marketing metric
Our presentation at the NARI MN meeting last night went pretty well. No doubt some folks came to learn about some of the more common metrics marketers use to track the success of their marketing systems. So if you want to improve the success of your marketing programs — we recommend two things: 1) Track your time. Where are you spending it? 2) Commit 8 hours a week to marketing. And time.
The Advertising "Toll"
I recently listened to the founder of the Geek Squad at the Carlson School of Management's Annual Entrepreneur Dinner, and a quote that is still stuck in my head is this: Advertising is the Toll that your firm pays for not having a memorable experience. At first, I thought this was quite harsh, but as you look into it, he has a point. A few questions to ponder: 1. Would the phone still ring?
I want to grow revenue in 2010. Should I hire a sales rep?
Revenue was off in 2009, and you want to stabilize it, or increase it over the next few years. You have existing sales reps that sell, so why not hire an additional one to go out and beat the street for you? Before creating and posting the job description, keep reading: Are your expectations realistic? Have you ever interviewed a sales person who says, "I have a HUGE customer base, and I am sure I can do x amount of sales in my first year." As owners and sales managers, we hyperventilate as we start to add the figures up, and plan for more revenue and bigger profits. Two reasons.
NARI Minnesota CoTY awards
All submissions are non-refundable and due by 1:00 on Thursday, September 30, 2010. I heard through the grapevine that CoTY entries are down this year. If you can complete a binder or two, the chances of winning are really, really good. Can't find the time? Suppose it takes 6 hours to complete an entry – that's about 1/2 hour per day, between now and the end of the month – very doable. If you divide the work between two people… more doable. 2) Publicity — Award winning projects are "newsworthy and are more likely to capture the attention of editors.

Get a jump on link-building
It seems everyone in the building industry is buzzing about search engine optimization or SEO — the practice of optimizing your website so that you will "be found by the search engines. Competition to top search engine results for long-tail search terms like "St Paul Remodeling and "minneapolis custom cabinets is intensifying. Before long, it will be impossible to achieve top rankings without a good link-building strategy. Avoid mass-submission/ SEO-play article sites. It's ok to submit a press release to the online services. But be careful!

Referral Tips for Home Improvement Pros
While preparing for our presentation on Wednesday, Jan 20 – Nothing Left to Cut, Now What? – I came across these simple tips for creating more referrals. Most are common sense, but few companies have truly mastered all of them, so there's always room for improvement. Make sure your clients understand your service. Keep them informed about your products and services, especially if you expand or improve your offering. Build referral time into your meetings. Let people know in advance you will be asking for ideas. Seek phrases and praises. Be worth talking about. Show appreciation.

How to write a press release
So now is a good time to pitch feature stories to editors for 2010 and beyond.

IRVINE CELEBRATES THE HELL OUT OF THE COMMUNITY!!My early nerd years were spent growing up in the rural hicklands of Western New York. I lived in a kinda charming little village with a rich, colorful history and a lot of poor, white people. Across the street from my house was a seemingly endless cornfield. Less than a mile down the road was a "gun club," which was really just a fancy name for "a cement wall in the woods rednecks drunkenly shoot their firearms at."
Alas, once I reached adulthood, I had to leave my hometown. In an economy where the top two careers for men are "farmer" and "domestic abuser," there's really not many opportunities for someone with a thorough knowledge of HTML. So I moved completely across the country to Orange County, California.
The O.C. (as retards like to call it) is pretty much the complete opposite of my native land. It's home to some of the most terrible, shallow, rich, and materialistic people on Earth. For example, Dennis Rodman lives here. The cost of living is insanely unreasonable, with the average home price currently over $600,000 and average monthly apartment rents of over $1500. Local car chases broadcast live on TV are our most high-brow form of entertainment. On the plus side, the weather is great!
To make matters worse, I live in easily one of the weirdest parts of Orange County: Irvine. Home of Blizzard Entertainment (makers of the digital cocaine that is "World of Warcraft") and Mark McGwire, Irvine describes itself as, "one of the nation's largest planned urban communities "
Unlike my hometown, which was founded hundreds of years ago by some idiot who was too lazy to walk all the way to Niagara Falls, Irvine was pretty much just a big ranch until it was incorporated in 1971. So Irvine's most treasured historical artifact is probably a disco ball.
Irvine is literally a corporation. It's like living in some kind of dysfunctional Orwellian future world, except with less robots and greener landscaping. Most of the housing, property, and retail space is owned in some way by the Irvine Company. I myself live in an Irvine Company apartment, which is very beige. The only discernible difference between buildings in Irvine is that the older ones (built in the 80's) are a darker shade of beige.
Every year, the residents of Irvine get an annual report, just like stockholders of Halliburton and Pfizer do. This report is filled with performance metrics and other corporate type stuff. Here's an example:
I guess that part of the report is supposed to demonstrate that the city is doing a good job at keeping black people out? I don't know.
The Irvine Spectrum is the cultural heart and soul of the city. It's basically just a big outdoor mall with an IMAX theater. I think this actual promotional image pretty much sums it up:
Cell phones, sushi, high style... throw in a couple of breast implants and a surfboard and you've just stereotyped all of Southern California!
Outside of the Spectrum, Irvine is probably best known locally for its police department. Irvine cops will pull you over for speeding, jaywalking, or just being ugly. Irvine is one of the safest cities in California, so I think the cops are just really bored. In fact, Irvine was well on its way to being named one of the safest cities in the United States until some guy walked into a local supermarket with samurai sword and hacked off the heads of two former co-workers. Ooops.
So what's it like living in a giant corporation? In a word... boring. Sure, Irvine is clean, safe, and quiet, but it's basically a continuous strip mall interspersed by chunks of land which are too difficult to bulldoze level and build a Starbucks on. The city refers to this land as "open space" or "parks."
The sad thing is that as America expands its living space into currently lightly populated areas like deserts, cornfields, and former nuclear waste dumps, you're going to see a lot more Irvine-type cities pop up across the nation. Preplanned, prefabricated, corporate communities laid out on neat little grids. Maybe if you played a lot of "Sim City" as a kid you can get a job laying out these soulless little slices of sterile shelters. Hope you like beige!
Mass Effect: Andromeda turns its nose up at the original trilogy's rigid morality. It boasts a more nuanced and intellectually compelling shades-of-grey approach in which a heart icon pops up when it's time to tell an alien to take their clothes off.
Please consider updating your plan to include Trickle Down Antibiotics, the Millennial Meltdown, and other new options.
I mean, they're not that bad. "Substandard" vending machines.

The modulating effect of sildenafil on cell viability and on the function of selected pharmacological receptors in cell cultures

dc.description | Thesis (M.Sc. (Pharmacology))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2005. | |
dc.description.abstract | Since sildenafil's (Viagra®), a phospodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor, approval for the treatment of male erectile dysfunction (MED) in the United States early 1998, 274 adverse event reports were filed by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) between 4 Jan. 1998 and 21 Feb. 2001 with sildenafil as the primary suspect of various neurological disturbances, including amnesia and aggressive behaviour (Milman and Arnold, 2002). These and other research findings have prompted investigations into the possible central effects of sildenafil. The G protein-coupled muscarinic adetylcholine receptors (mAChRs) and serotonergic receptors (5HT-Rs), have been linked to antidepressant action (Brink et al. 2004). GPCRs signal through the phosphatidylinositol signal transduction pathway known to activate protein kinases (PKs). Since the nitric oxide (NO)-guanylyl cyclase signal transduction pathway is also known to involve the activation of PKs (via cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP)), the scope is opened for sildenafil to possibly modulate the action of antidepressants by elevating cGMP levels. It is generally assumed that excitotoxic delayed cell death is pathologically linked to an increase in the release of excitatory neurotransmitters e.g. glutamate. Glutamate antagonists, especially those that block the define NMDA-receptors, are neuroprotective, showing the importance of the NMDA-NO-cGMP pathway in neuroprotection (Brandt et al., 2003). Sildenafil may play a role in neuroprotection by elevating cGMP levels. Aims: The aims of the study were to investigate any neuroprotective properties of sildenafil, as well as modulating effects of sildenafil pre-treatment on mAChR function. Methods: Human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y or human epithelial HeLa cells were seeded in 24-well plates and pre-treated for 24 hours in serum-free medium with no drug (control), PDE5 inhibitors sildenafil (100nM and 450 nM), dipiridamole (20 µM) or zaprinast (20 µM), non-selective PDE inhibitor 3-isobutyl-I-methylxanthine (IBMX - ImM), cGMP analogue N2,2'-0-dibutyrylguanosine 3'5'-cyclic monophosphate sodium salt (500 µM), guanylcyclase inhibitor 1H-[1 ,2,4]oxadiazolo[4,3-a]quinoxalin-I-one (ODQ - 3 µM) or sildenafil + ODQ (450 nM and 3 µM respectively). Thereafter cells were used to determine mAChR function by constructing dose-response curves of methacholine or to determine cell viability utilising the Trypan blue, propidium iodide and MTT tests for cell viability. Results: Sildenafil pre-treatments induced a 2.5-fold increase in ,the Emax value of methacholine in neuronal cells but did not show a significant increase in epithelial cells The Trypan blue test suggests that neither the PDE5 inhibitors nor a cGMP analogue show any neuroprotection. Rather, sildenafil 450 nM, dipiridamole and IBMX displayed a neurodegenerative effect. The MTT test was not suitable, since pre-treatment with the abovementioned drugs inhibited the formation of forrnazan. The propidium iodide assay could also not be used, due to severe cell loss. Conclusion: Sildenafil upregulates mAChR function in SH-SY5Y cells and displays a neurodegenerative, and not a protective property, in neuronal cells. This is not likely to be associated with its PDE5 inhibitory action, but may possibly be linked to an increase in cGMP levels via the NO-cGMP pathway. | |
