Gorgeous Gorge (GC2PC2V) – GEOCACHE OF THE WEEK – January 3, 2013
The very first Geocache of the Week of 2013 is guaranteed to add a little thrill and excitement to the New Year. Join us on an unforgettable adventure to Nitmiluk National Park in Katherine, Australia to find Gorgeous Gorge (GC2PC2V), a difficulty 2, terrain 4 traditional geocache.
Since February 2011, Gorgeous Gorge has been responsible for thrilling geocaching experiences. Geocachers from Australia, Germany, the Netherlands, and beyond have been intrigued by the location of this geocache. Thanks to bubblensqueak, more than 60 geocachers had the opportunity to relish in this one of a kind, nature-filled geocaching experience.
Nitmiluk National Park is a haven for nature lovers with its rugged landscape, dramatic waterfalls and lush gorges providing an abundance of flora and fauna. It's also home to Katherine Gorge, a series of 13 sandstone gorges carved over the course of thousands of years by the Katherine River. Add a regular-sized ammo can geocache and a scenic view and you've got a spectacular, one of a kind geocaching adventure.
The stunning gorge walls and white sandy beaches can be explored on foot, by canoe or on a cruise. Katherine Gorge waters are calm in most spots and ideal for swimming and canoeing. Be cautious though if you go into the water, your heart might start beating faster if you spy one of the areas freshwater crocodiles. The reptiles are rarely seen, but geocachers should always be aware of their surroundings.
A typical hike from the parking area to the geocache location takes about an hour. Geocachers have the opportunity to explore a number of other geocaches along the way, which may result in a day-long treasure hunting adventure. Then again, it's so easy to lose track of time when surrounded by so much beauty. The additional geocaches along the way just add to the experience.
A family who recently logged this find wrote, "Wow, Wow, Wow, what a great spot and what a great cache . After hunting for a while geo-dad and geo-junior decided to sit and read the past logs while waiting for some muggles, It was then that geo-dad realized that cache was obviously out of muggle view . So, after feeling refreshed it was time for another hunt, when cache was found and the lid opened geo-junior's eyes nearly popped , what a hoard. Left Christmas Duck TB as he thought it looked like a good spot for a paddle, I just told him to watch out for those crocks . Thanks bubblensqueak for a great cache ."
Continue to explore some of the most engaging geocaches around the globe. Check out all the Geocaches of the Week on the Geocaching blog or view the Bookmark List on Geocaching.com.

- I wanted to send you a quick note to thank you for your work setting up Internet in the two pig barns in Kingman and Montpelier during these past few weeks. I have been to both farms in the last few days to set up our system, and the service you've done is impeccable. I am lucky to have found such a professional team to help me get this project off the ground.I really appreciate your work, and wanted to say that myself and my collaborators are extremely satisfied with the quality and accuracy of the work proposed and described over the phone. I would recommend you without any hesitation to anyone that may have networking needs.

I wanted to tell you how pleased I am with the Internet/phone service bundle from Watch Communications. The installation was very well done and completed in a timely fashion. The Internet delivery speed is a huge upgrade from our prior provider! Nor have we had a single issue with the "voice over" phone service including faxing, which I still use rather regularly. The phone service bundled with the Internet saves us about $140.00 annually and we are not charged for a long distance call in the U.S.

World's most stupid question
If this article is correct, Iran's inherent systemic failures mean that it's not as far along in developing a nuclear bomb as concerned Western nations have feared. But the article's author goes on to ask what I can only call a really stupid question (emphasis mine):
The news comes as a great relief. But it also raises questions. This was a serious intelligence failure, one that has led some of Israel's own officials to wonder aloud, "Did we cry wolf too early?"
Indeed, Israel has consistently overestimated Iran's nuclear program for decades. In 1992, then Foreign Minister Shimon Peres announced that Iran was on pace to have the bomb by 1999. Israel's many subsequent estimates have become increasingly frenzied but have been consistently wrong. U.S. intelligence agencies have been only slightly less alarmist, and they, too, have had to extend their timelines repeatedly.
Overestimating Iran's nuclear potential might not seem like a big problem. However, similar, unfounded fears were the basis for President George W. Bush's preemptive attack against Iraq and its nonexistent weapons of mass destruction. Israel and the United States need to make sure that this kind of human and foreign policy disaster does not happen again.
What explains Israel's most recent intelligence failure?
From there on out, the author talks about intelligence failures, politics, and all sorts of other stuff.
That's all so complicated. It seems to me that Israel overestimates the bomb threat for one very simple reason: She's the first in line when/if Iran finally gets a bomb. Given Israel's highest priority as Iran's first target for its weapon of mass destruction, Israel might be a little antsy and might think that it's better to be too worried, rather than too sanguine. After all, as one Holocaust victim memorably said, "When someone says they're going to kill you, take them seriously."
No matter how far Iran has gotten with the bomb, it's already too far for Israel's peace of mind and safety. Anything greater than no bomb at all is a risk. And that's why the article's question is disingenuous. Even if all the other reasons for Israel's intelligence errors are true, one must never lose sight of the fact that Israel has reason to be very afraid — and that tends to make both people and nations jumpy.

Lobster, I really love your by-line there ("A better Vista")
Would have replied earlier but I'm having problems with the forums.
At this time, I won't offer to do that job you asked for, because of time restraints, but would certainly be pleased to contribute. I have written operators' and technical manuals as well as magazine articles for the technical press.
Currently, I'm doing a bunch of other unrelated stuff, including struggling to build a digitised version of a library of cassettes... every time I look there seem more to create raw wav files from, let alone clean them up and create tracks!
Feel free to PM me, if you would like. This mail and forums machine (on win2000) is on most of most days.

I meant to respond to this before, sorry, ...

One huge and simple improvement that I have mentioned many times is to get rid of the geeky names. Every component in the Puppy menu is named. 'Paint program' people know - 'MtPaint image editor' - you do not need 'MtPaint'. Those are simple examples - look at some of the other names . . . now just think if Puppy is fulfilling its 'no-brainer' mission statement?
In Linspire, another distribution that aims for a typical windows user as it's target, they use KDE as a desktop, and so they were able to make use of its Control Panel to globally change (for example, using the puppy app you quoted) MtPaint and Image editor around, whichever is in brackets or parentheses, through the handy KDE menu tab which allows just the real name, or the real name (friendly name) or the friendly name (real name) format. The KDE menu editor is also straightforward to use.
The default there is the friendly name - so those who become familiar with the OS in due time are able to manipulate to suit their preferences.
The machine by my left elbow is running Linspire 5.0 and its menu cascades like this...
Start > Run Programs > Audio & MP3 > Audacity (Sound Editor)
Now that is two - or maybe one - menu picks too many. Ergonomics was a forte of mine, I used to customise AutoCAD menus (including tablet menus) for a living
However I seldom use the menu, preferring to double click or
right click > open with...
as a modus operandi. But the ergonomics wasn't my point; it was the presentation of the application name or its use in the menu that was the point
In the case of the greatly simplified, 2 level menu JWM (which is a major plus to the distro imho) it is relatively easy to use a text editor I suppose,
but not by an ab-initio ex MS Windows user
. Not so sure about the FVWM (sp?) as I haven't discovered how to change it, but it certainly has three levels, if not more, from what I've seen.
I might post an image or two of my menu attempt(s) in a few days.
However the interest in this thread shows that others are thinking along similar lines, and I suppose it should be emphasised that none of us are trying to cut the ground out from under each other.
Rather we are all coming up with ideas, which is the core of what open-source is all about, at whatever level one's contributions are pitched.
I still need to get back to Rhino when I get a moment to run his system on a couple of other computers. Feedback is good, we shouldn't download, look, try, and then forget what we did. We do owe it to the person who has "slaved over a hot stove" to put an evaluation project together, to respond - even if we don't like it!
From a looks perspective, I really like gliesl's contribution the best, far better than any of my attempts. Why? Because it looks
more like Windows
which is likely sacrilege to died-in-the-wool *nix afficianadoes but as other posts have mentioned, the look is important to woo users over. There being no quick-launch icons on the taskbar/panel is a pity though, and I wonder if they can be added. I use them a lot, personally.
Because I can't figure out - even with the helps and the author's website - how to customise Fvwm, I'm working on a JWM concept currently with just an alternative menu and some extra desktop backgrounds, and extra taskbar quick-launch buttons.
One could easily copy the custom menus to /root/.jwmrc (or whatever it's called, I'm not running a machine with puppy right now), but not if a newbie
I'd be interested in everybody's thoughts, and wonder if you feel a simple script to backup existing JWM menu files and replace them with customised ones would be workable? While I used to be competant at writing Lisp routines for AutoCAD and batch files in DOS, that was
many years ago
so am open to the syntax of what to use so I can try it

Wot more windows managers?
With the XDG menu system - adopted first in 1.09ce and its possible inclusion in Puppy 2.11 we would I believe have a way of choosing layouts - with or without name credits . . .
Is that true?

I hope to be rolling our a new PuppyPro based on 2.10 this weekend. I dropped XFCE and just included JWM at this point, but I did quite a bit of menu customization and simplification as mentioned in previous posts.
My goal is to keep it under 256MB so it can fit on a USB key (although that may prove to be quite slow) ...testing will be required.

great Rhino
fyi I did get half an hour to try your 2.02CE on an HP Pavilion 6617 (that's the one whose case is the height and depth of the motherboard and buckleys chance of getting anything extra inside the box
Celeron 566MHz, 256 RAM, 128 L2 cache, Intel 810 video onboard, AC97 audio and a PCI 3Com905B-TX NIC.
Sound and network great.
Video was interesting, though. W2KSP4 runs 1280x1024 with room to move upwards. The machine triple boots with Sun JDS2 (an early SuSE/Gnome/Metacity desktop) and SuSE 9.3Pro. Both run 1600x1200x16bit without batting an eye, the Sax2 config tool there is good.
Puppy in Vesa sadly won't do better than 800x600x16, or at a push 1024x768x8 bit;
256 colours I used to run in win3.1 and it approximated right, but the display in puppy was almost negative colour-wise. Ever looked at an old-time colour film negative? That's what I mean. Wierd.
Do some more again perhaps tomorrow; another intel mobo in another computer is next in line, but using an external video card. I think a lot of folk still have these old machines that modern Windows won't run well on.
Look forward to your next download, in anticipation.
BTW lobster, the MS Linux box on the wiki reminds me of a website I saw a while back... at http://www.mslinux.org/ ... I went and looked at it a few minutes ago. I've now saved a copy of it at http://micro-hard.homelinux.net/MSLinux if it gets forcibly taken down again.

Thanks Rhino, Thanks Richard,
I am happy with whatever name you choose
but decided to use Puppy xp on the wiki
after a License fee required distro called Linux XP
(from Russia) went right to the top of Distrowatch.
Wow. Good luck Rhino, have a fun weekend.
We will get some more publicity for the beta . . .

Have you tired using Xorg rather than VESA?
My parent's computer has just onboard acceleration (no fancy graphics card) and I had the same problem with VESA using Puppy 2.02...horrible colors and resolution. I was able to reboot and run the Xorg Wizard and it ran just fine at 1024x768x16 or maybe even 24...can't remember exactly.
Thanks for the help

I rather like the splash screens shown on following that up.
We are going to need something like that, too, as well as a graphical user manager, aren't we?
Interesting to note that one of the screencaps shows the FreeBSD version of the "bliss" desktop wallpaper, and they are using (I think) the everaldo (that guy is brilliant imho) icons - or maybe the crystal ones.
Done some more checks on that other P3 550 I have, uses an external Nvidia 32Mb PCI video card and all three versions I looked at romp along with 1600x1200 loading fine (except for my eyesight!), so there was something funny on the Pavilion's internal video when associated with Puppy in Vesa mode. I tend to use Vesa rather than X-Org for simplicity.
A personal wish would be to see the Acrobat Reader (rather than GS) as default on any product aimed as "Professional" or "Office" or marketed as an XP replacement.
I think the Sane and XSane stuff should also be part of these packages, because I suspect there would be few office environments where scanning isn't undertaken.
There seems to be occasional (not always) difficulties (on all of these three "office" type distros I've tried) over the removal of the CD so that a music CD or a DVD can be played. I wonder if this is fixable in a config file somewhere? It doesn't seem to be there on standard puppies.
Looking more closelyat Gliesl's distro, perhaps her pointer focus could do with being changed as default, as it follows the Unix standard whereas I think the target market would be confused with that method.
I remember in the Windows95 "Power Tools" add-on from the development team, there was the Unix style focus offered, but I've never seen a Windows user use it. I know some (myself included) tried it, but preferred the click to focus (and stay focussed) method.
Perhaps gliesl should consider doing a recompile for the benefit of those who don't use the US keyboard? ... doesn't worry me personally, but European keyboards might present a difficulty when booting it for the first time, live.
I'll post those comments in her thread, but include them here for a comparison. I still like the "look" of what she has done best lol
But that's me
I've also modified the "Shut Down" section of the menu to conform to the Windows habit of placing a "Log Off" section above it. The code I've used is here, and it has worked in every instance I've tried it...
<Menu label="Log Off" icon="shutdown24.xpm" height="16">
<Exit confirm="false" label="Exit to prompt" icon="prompt16.xpm" />
<Restart label="JWM restart" icon="mini-windows.xpm"/>
<!-- <Program label="xxx restart" icon="mini-windows.xpm">restartwm jwm</Program> -->
<!-- <Program label="Fvwm95 restart" icon="mini-windows.xpm">restartwm fvwm95</Program> -->
<!-- <Program label="iceWM restart" icon="mini-windows.xpm">restartwm icewm</Program> -->
<Program label="X restart" icon="mini-x.xpm">restartwm</Program>
<Menu label="Shut Down" icon="shutdown24.xpm" height="16">
<Exit confirm="false" label="Exit to prompt" icon="prompt16.xpm" />
<Program label="Reboot computer" icon="mini-turn.xpm">exec /usr/X11R6/bin/wmreboot</Program>
<Program label="Power-off computer" icon="mini-stop.xpm">exec /usr/X11R6/bin/wmpoweroff</Program>
I also tend to annotate files as to when last modified, like many folks do with web pages. A good habit learned when working on complex drawings. I've taken to using a format like this on the jwm config files, and placed near the top so you don't have to scroll through the whole file to see what remarks have been added
<!-- Last modified 0850 Saturday 30th September 2006 -->
Just a warning though, you can't do that with the jwm tray config file, not sure why. But don't mess with that one
Hope this all helps, it's pretty verbose I'm afraid. But that's my middle name lol!

Post subject: Puppy is very close to a practical desktop for business
I read the various threads on making Puppy "good enough" to be used in a business situation. If we put aside our theological comments about Linux vs Windows for a moment and look at the platform we have, it's very close in many respects. I work as a management consultant and programme manager, and Puppy Linux is my system of choice at home, and used in a lot of my work too.
After trying a lot of widow managers and "tweaking", I have come back to Barry's base platform i.e. Seamonkey, JWM etc because it's efficient. All the developers involved should be very proud of their work. I've expanded the base system to include the things I need to do my job - and these include applications that some people never use, e.g:
Open Office
I also use Crossover for the same reason I use Puppy. It works. I find that Office XP is the best version to use, and I only really use Powerpoint for work. Word Viewer and Internet Explorer are needed occasionally when nothing else will work (e.g. my internet banking). Here's a screenshot of my desktop, showing what Windows applications I use. I find K3b a great CD / DVD burner.
Most people at home or in business only use a few applications. However, let's recognise that Windows has won the corporate desktop, and focus on where open source software can win in niche markets, for example, not-for profit organisations, charities, schools with budget challenges, local government, small business, developing countries .... mmm some niche. But that's not my battle.
I used to use Ubuntu, and that's probably a serious contender for large organisations. Personally I find it too cumbersome after using Puppy, BUT, they have really thought about making it easy for the end user e.g. automounting drives and adding printers. What we have is a great application, and in my opinion, it's good enough today for small businesses or sole traders as well as home users.
NOW, one final request. Does anyone know how to configure CUPS to link to a printer on a Windows home network? Do I choose http, ipp or lpd? If you know and can post the answer (or point me at the exact thread), you will be my friend for life.

Sorry I dont know about cups. I use this at home to print on a couple of old lasers and by the look of the last post it will work for a printer connected to a windows machine.
Let us know if it works.

Post subject: Finding out about Puppy innovations like ProCE?
Is there ANY place to find a list of all the Puppy-based distros? Given the complete lack of usable structure on this wiki, it's next to impossible to find out about things like the various Community Editions -
It was only after stumbling across one of those and looking for an update that I found out about Puppy Professional CE
, which is pretty close to what I'm looking for.
There REALLY needs to be someplace with even just a simple list of links to the various Puppy-derived distros.
(I realize technically they're all variations on the "Puppy Linux" distribution, but for the sake of argument here, I'm defining anything that comes on its own ISO as a "distro".)
This is why I hate completely free-form wikis: unlike wikipedia or the like, there's no structure or organization at all, so after a while, it becomes virtually impossible to find anything, even if good stuff is there *somewhere*...
This is a serious problem, one that I have seen nearly kill some other good Linux projects, including the once best-in-class and now hopelessly outdated and chaotic Contribs.org SME server (formerly e-Smith Linux).
BTW - I have Puppy 2.20CE loaded on an alternate HD for my old ThinkPad 570E, and so far, I'm about to decide that it's only the 2nd Linux desktop of the dozens I've ever tried over the past decade that could actually be a reasonable alternative to Windows. The Pro version looks like it might be even better, and since MS is dropping W2K support, I'm going to consider making the change, although only Windows fully supports the 560/570 series' rather extreme 2-stage docking modularity.

Springer, a quick reply if I may.
I agree, I stumbled across puppy completely by accident, and found the same.
I tend to save pages as I see them, into a directory that's accessible on my LAN for the same reason - can never find things a second time... and search facilities even on forums are unbelievable bad in many cases. Maybe I just haven't got the hang of forum searches lol!!!
I think while links between a multiplicity of sites is great, it makes locating the answers to problems next to impossible in some cases.
This is not a criticism of a bunch of dedicated volunteers. Just a by-product of such a scenario that can easily happen.
Same, to a lesser extent, with PC-BSD which is another like of mine. Nearly got into hot water there for suggesting closer collaboration
BTW I've put a bot into
, to see if there's any interest.
Gotta run, back a lot later

I'm getting very close to releasing a beta version of Puppy 2.1.0 Professional Edition. I ran into a few problems with getting Java to work properly on the remastered cd's. I'm making progress though. So far, this version will be quite nice looking with a lot of cosmetic changes that should be favorable and possibly incorporated into the "real" Puppy. I tried to standardize many of the icons on Puppy applications, but I'm still not finished yet. I think an iso should be available for testing in a day or two as long as everything works as planned.

We all know the tragic fate of the Titanic, which sank in 1912, claiming the lives of more than 1,000 passengers. Among those passengers was 13-month-old Eino Viljami Panula of Finland. The infant died with his four brothers and mother en route to the United States, where they'd planned to join Eino's father in Pennsylvania.
Days after the Titanic sank, crew members of the Canadian recovery ship Mackay-Bennett found Eino's body. They were unable to identify him, but transported the child to Halifax, Nova Scotia, for burial. Eino's grave marker at Fairview Lawn Cemetery read "Unknown Child" for nearly a century. But science has finally given the Unknown Child a name: DNA testing performed in October 2002 with a blood sample from one of Eino's relatives confirmed the infant's identity. Eino's relatives traveled from Helsinki, Finland, last fall to visit the grave of their newfound family member. A documentary film crew captured the touching cemetery visit on camera, and PBS broadcast the story as part of its "Secrets of the Dead: Titanic's Ghosts" program. You can read more about Eino's story at <dsc.discovery.com/news/afp/20021104/titanic.html>.

Dallas Stars distance themselves from Tyler Seguin after latest Twitter fiasco
Tyler Seguin is already in hot water with his new club. (Dave Sandford/Getty Images)
By Allan Muir
So much for a fresh start.
Tyler Seguin hasn't yet stepped foot in Texas since being acquired by the Dallas Stars on Thursday and already the organization has gotten a taste of the maturity problem that got him bounced from Boston.
A homophobic tweet sent out to his nearly 275,000 followers last night forced the Stars to distance from him publicly.
"In no way, shape or form does the Dallas Stars organization condone or agree with the message that was sent out through Tyler Seguin's Twitter feed last night. We've addressed the issue directly with Tyler and we'll continue to work on educating our players regarding the importance of their conduct on all forms of social media."
Ouch. Not exactly a strong first impression with the new boss.
Here's Seguin's tweet, which has since been deleted (s/t to Connor Small):
After the tweet began attracting attention, Seguin tried to deflect blame by claiming his account had been hacked. At this point, that line of defense has about as much credibility as saying the dog ate your homework. Still, when you consider the actual content of the message, it's almost plausible. It reads more like the work of a prankster than a hacker.
Early on Sunday, he announced he was backing away from Twitter.
Probably the best idea he's had in awhile.
Whatever the real story is here, the end result is a reputation that's in serious need of rehabilitation. This comes less than two weeks after he was ripped for his play in the postseason and just days after Seguin was blasted for a lack of professionalism by Boston GM Peter Chiarelli. As soon as the trade was finalized, rumors that had been percolating about his questionable decision-making away from the rink bubbled to the surface.
And this isn't the first time he's tweeted something potentially objectionable. Earlier this year, he added "no homo" to a description of his reaction after listening to a song written by his roommate. He later apologized for using that phrase.
There was no apology this time -- probably a good thing given the "I didn't do it" defense -- but either way Seguin's judgment should be called into question. If he did it, he has to learn that he can't afford to use the "I'm just a 21-year-old kid" excuse anymore. And if this was the work of a prank-pulling buddy, he clearly needs to make better decisions about who he hangs out with...and where he leaves his phone.

"For centuries, Cuba's greatest resource has been its people," writes Pico Iyer in an extended essay on the Caribbean nation in the July 8, 2013 issue of TIME. In the twilight of the Castro era, Cubans are finding that change brings both hope and anxiety.
To pair with Iyer's tome, TIME called upon Danish photographer Joakim Eskildsen. Eskildsen, who previously photographed a large portfolio for TIME on the state of poverty in America, traveled to Cuba for ten days, photographing urban housing projects in Havana and rural settlements across the countryside. With the help of local journalist Abel Gonzalez Alayon, Eskildsen photographed tobacco plantations, roadside fruit vendors, migrant workers and beachfront resorts — capturing all in the vibrant saturation of medium-format color film.
"I immediately fell in awe with the complexity of this country," says Eskildsen. "The more you learn about the situation and how people are living, the more difficult it becomes to understand. It was like learning to view the world from a Cuban angle that kept surprising and inspiring me."

How Vaping Can Help You Quit Smoking And How To Get Started
Anyone that has ever been addicted to smoking cigarettes can tell you how hard they are to quit. Many millions of people have tried, many hundreds of times in their lives, and never been able to quit smoking. But as fewer people start, and the older smokers die, there are fewer people smoking all of the time, so they've become outcasts in many states, cities, and even families. In most public places it's now illegal to smoke, so smokers are all standing outside freezing in the winter and sweating in the summer, to get their fix. Nicotine has been called one of the most addicting chemicals known to man, worse than heroin. So, just how can vaping help a smoker quit, is it safer, and how does a person get started?
CBD Hemp Oil Health Benefits: What Is CBD Hemp Oil?
Vaping Has Been Around Awhile, But It's Getting More Popular
Believe it or not, vaping and e-cigarettes have been on the scene for quite some time. They have advanced, gotten more high tech, been investigated, and millions have used them to quit smoking, sometimes successfully. Many scientists have weighed in on the subject, some pro, and some con, but the bottom line is that some people have been able to reduce their tobacco smoking habits and become more healthy.
In the real world, there are actually very few quit smoking programs that have worked for most people. In fact, when you check the statistics, most people fail at quitting smoking at least 6 times before they win the battle, or stop trying. So, if you're talking to a smoker and have anything to offer that could help them quit, they're going to listen.
Vaping Can Be Far Less Expensive Than Tobacco
The government has really cracked down on smokers and tobacco, making it one of the most expensive habits in the world. The real wholesale price of a pack of cigarettes averages about 50 cents, the rest is all federal, state, and local taxes. Estimates vary, but nearly all research shows that vaping and eCigarettes are at least 40% cheaper.
If you don't mind buying your own vaping oil and mixing it carefully into usable vaping batches in small bottles, you can save about 60% to 70% over the price of tobacco. While they use "pack a day smoker" for their statistics, there are millions of smokers that smoke at least 3 to 5 packs a day. Everyone knows a smoker that smokes a pack an hour too. These people could save thousands and thousands per year by not buying tobacco and mixing their own vaping oil instead.
Researchers Say Vaping Is Bad For Your Health
But they have to say that when anything is bad for you, they can't come out in favor of it. The real stats show that up to 95% of the harmful ingredients in tobacco aren't in eLiquids at all. This is according to the UK Public Health Department in a study done in 2015. Now of course, if you're trying to quit smoking, you're going to take anything that is less dangerous than cigarettes because they're for sure going to kill you.
CBD Ejuice
The biggest worry that regulators have is that vaping will become a fad and many young adults that wouldn't smoke a cigarette will try vaping if they think it's not as dangerous. So far, government statistics aren't showing that many young people are using eCigarettes as a gateway to tobacco. On the other hand, they are helping some people quit smoking either tobacco or completely quit altogether.
The Best Way To Use Vaping To Quit Smoking
There are actually several addictions taking place when a person smokes cigarettes. The number one strongest, of course, is the nicotine that's considered very addictive. But, in addition to that, there is holding the cigarette, puffing, and inhaling the smoke too. And finally, there is the flavor of the tobacco. An eCigarette can do all of those things, then you can lessen each one gradually until you quit.
Wholesale CBD Vape Oil
The nicotine is the hardest, you can adjust the amount of nicotine easily yourself if you mix your own, or have a vaping shop do it for you. You can also reduce the tobacco flavoring, or switch to one of a thousand other flavors if you'd like. The flavoring is the least of your worries, the nicotine reduction is the first priority.
Once you've reduced the nicotine, then get rid of the tobacco flavor, that will still have some carcinogens in it. Most of the thousands of other flavors are very clean, almost no cancer causing agents, plus no addictive chemicals either. If you have to continue smoking, vaping is the best alternative, and it may save your life in the end.
CBD Eliquid
New research is coming out daily on the pros and cons of eCigarettes and vaping, everyone has to do their own research. But by all means, take the time to read the studies and pick the far lesser of two evils if you have to, if not for yourself, for those who love you.

Donald Cerrone (19-4-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC) and Melvin Guillard (47-12-3 MMA, 11-7 UFC) needed just 76 seconds to turn in a $60,000 "Fight of the Night" performance for each of them. But it was Cerrone's big right hand that picked up another $60,000 for "Knockout of the Night" at UFC 150.
Full fight video highlights are now available of the bout.
UFC 150 took place at Denver's Pepsi Center with Henderson-Edgar as the main event of the pay-per-view.
Cerrone and Guillard, former teammates at the Greg Jackson-Mike Winkelojohn camp, met in the co-main event Saturday. Cerrone had to survive a big opening surge from Guillard and battled back to and a left high kick and then the right that put Guillard out.
Check out the embedded clip for the highlights.

Hopefully, everyone had a fun and safe 4th of July weekend. I have a theory that once this holiday passes, the entire summer will be gone in a flash if you're not careful. So take some time to enjoy the weather and have lots of fun.
The Smithereens are always a blast to catch at an outdoor concert, and they'll be performing at the Roscoe Village Burger Fest this coming Saturday at 8:30 PM. (Palatine's own Dot Dot Dot goes on before them at 6:30 PM.) There is a $6 suggested donation. If past gigs are any indication, Pat DiNizio and the boys will meet with fans after the show to sign merchandise. The following review originally appeared the Illinois Entertainer.
After recording two CD's of vintage Beatles songs as well as a version of The Who's rock opera Tommy, The Smithereens have come up with their first collection of all new material since 1999's God Save The Smithereens. Whether it's from covering those covering classic rock songs, or from constantly touring, the band sounds as vital as ever. While nothing on the Don Dixon-produced 2011 takes The Smithereens out of their comfort zone, there are some interesting variations.
Dennis Diken's drum work stands out on "What Went Wrong," which features a hint of Country & Western, and "One Look At You" has a dreamy psychedelic coda. All four members (Severo "The Thrilla" Jornacion having replaced original bassist Mike Mesaros) contribute to the lush harmonies on "A World Of Our Own," "Bring Back The One I Love," and "Goodnight Goodbye." Jim Babjak's guitar playing drives much of the action, and Pat Di Nizio remains one of power pop's best vocalists.

The good news is that we're finally coming out of the housing slump of the past five-plus years. Housing is a major driving factor of the U.S. economy, so regardless of whether or not you own a home, a stronger housing market is good for everyone. For some would-be home sellers, this positive momentum, combined with a rise in home prices and buyer activity, is enough to compel them...

Fear of Commitment? Choosing the Right Colors for Your Home
Posted in Living by Lorelei Barrett
One of the most frequent questions interior designers hear is how to choose colors for a home. We all love color, but some people are afraid of using color in their home. Many find they fear committing to a certain color scheme or making a mistake after it is all done. Here are some ideas to help to get you started.

Gardner Report, Oregon and Southwest Washington | Fourth Quarter 2012, Volume X X
Posted in Market News by Matthew Gardner, Chief Economist, Windermere Real Estate
The housing market in the state remains on a more solid footing with steady improvement seen pretty much across the board. Interest rates remain at or near historic lows which, when viewed in concert with the stability in home values, has acted as a catalyst and allowed many would-be buyers to get off the fence.

Blower Type
There are three main type of blowers: Multi-Speed, High-Efficiency Multi-Speed, and Variable Speed.
Standard Multi-Speed blowers have different speed options and you select the speed that the blower will operate at depending on the function it is performing (ex. different speeds for fan, AC, and heating functions).
High-Efficiency Multi-Speed blowers are designed to maintain a constant torque and in doing so will maintain air-flow and use less electricity.
Variable Speed blowers will adjust their speed during operation. The result is a blower that will run at lower speeds for longer periods of time (this improves the air flow and increases electrical efficiency).

Livestream: http://www.spreecast.com/events/idle-to-no-more-to-indigenous-nationhood
VICTORIA, BC (Coast Salish Territories)—After the tremendous response to our last Idle No More Public Forum in January, which was attended in person and online by more than 1,200 people, this follow up event will explore the next phase of INM, as we move from 'Idle No More' to an Indigenous Nationhood Movement.
Indigenous peoples and allies have gathered in flash mobs, rallies and round dances in streets and malls across Turtle Island and, now, we are rising together to protect our lands and rebuild our nations. But what is at stake in this process? What does Indigenous nationhood look like? And what is required to build a lasting Indigenous resurgence movement that includes Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples?
As part of the UVic Native Students Union's Indigenous Resurgence Week 2013—a week-long celebration of Indigenous community, culture and arts—this INM Forum will bring together activists, thinkers, educators and community leaders to reflect on this important transitional time in the movement and to reflect on the ongoing work being done in our communities to mobilize action, education, and land protection.

|"Are you a wizard or not?"
The title of this article is conjectural. Although it is based on canonical information, the actual name is a conjecture and may be supplanted at any time by additional information released from canonical sources. If this occurs, please move this page to the appropriate title.
Like Hagrid himself, Fang the Boarhound was not nearly as fierce as he looked. Fang had often been described as a "coward."[1][2]
Fang accompanied Hermione Granger, Harry Potter, Neville Longbottom, and Draco Malfoy into the Forbidden Forest, along with Hagrid, during a detention in their first year.
Fang also accompanied Harry Potter and Ron Weasley in their second year, when they investigated Hagrid's words to "follow the spiders" to Aragog's lair.
In 1996, Fang was stunned by Ministry of Magic workers as he protected Hagrid from being attacked by Dolores Umbridge and her companions, including John Dawlish.
Fang was also trapped in Hagrid's burning cabin during the Death Eaters' assault on Hogwarts in 1997. After Hagrid went on the run, Fang went with him.
Before the Battle of Hogwarts started, he was pushed through a window into the castle with Hagrid by Grawp, then ran off when a nearby vase was blasted off its plinth. It is presently unknown if he survived.
A giant three-headed dog. Purchased from a "Greek chappie" in a pub, Hagrid lent Fluffy to Professor Dumbledore in 1991 to help protect the Philosopher's Stone. Hagrid revealed that Fluffy could be calmed and put to sleep by music. It was this slip of the lip that allowed Professor Quirrell, Harry, Hermione, and Ron to all get past Fluffy and into the hall where the Philosopher's Stone was hidden.[1][2]
A Norwegian Ridgeback dragon. Hagrid won Norbert's egg from a hooded man at the Hog's Head during a card game. As dragon breeding was outlawed by the Warlocks' Convention of 1709, Hagrid could not legally keep Norbert. Draco Malfoy spotted Norbert, and tattled on Hagrid, who was forced to send him to Romania.
Norwegian Ridgebacks breathe fire. Nesting mothers breathe on them to keep them warm, explaining why Hagrid kept the egg in a pot over the fireplace in his home, even in warm weather. A pet dragon such as this one, once it hatches, should be fed brandy mixed with chicken's blood.
After Norbert was taken into Charles Weasley's care, the dragon was mentioned only in passing. In 1997, Charlie revealed to Hagrid that Norbert was actually a female[3], and had been renamed "Norberta".
An enormous talking Acromantula, Aragog's egg came into Hagrid's possession when Hagrid was a student at Hogwarts. The spider hatched and was hidden at the school in a cupboard; he never saw any other part of the castle. Hagrid was eventually forced to set Aragog free when his presence in the school became worrisome and Aragog was framed for causing Myrtle Warren's death. Even then, Hagrid was expelled and Aragog made a den deep in the Forbidden Forest. Hagrid eventually provided Aragog with a mate, Mosag, and together they had many offspring.[4]
Aragog met Harry and Ron in 1992, when Hagrid was briefly taken into custody at Azkaban for allegedly opening the Chamber of Secrets. It was through Aragog's explanation of events that Harry and Ron learned Hagrid was innocent of those charges.
Aragog died in the spring of 1997 of old age. The Acromantulas living in Aragog's den tried to prevent Hagrid from removing the body from the Forbidden Forest; Hagrid managed to escape, intent upon giving the Acromantula a proper burial. Professor Horace Slughorn attended the funeral for the sole purpose of procuring some of Aragog's venom, which he felt he could sell for a hundred Galleons a pint. It was because of these events leading up to Aragog's funeral that Harry, under the influence of Felix Felicis, managed to secure Slughorn's memory regarding Voldemort and Horcruxes.[5]
Mosag was a female acromantula that Hagrid brought to Aragog as a potential mate. Aragog and Mosag founded a large acromantula colony in the Forbidden Forest.[6]
Buckbeak (Witherwings)
A steel-grey-coloured Hippogriff. Buckbeak was introduced in 1993, in Hagrid's first Care of Magical Creatures teaching assignment as one of thirteen Hippogriffs.
It was during this class that Buckbeak injured Draco Malfoy. Through the influence of Lucius Malfoy, Buckbeak was sentenced to death by the Ministry of Magic, to be carried out in the coming spring. However, he was rescued by Harry and Hermione, through the use of the Time-Turner.[7]
Buckbeak then joined Sirius Black, aiding his escape from custody at Hogwarts. The two of them relocated to an unknown country.
When Sirius returned in 1994, during the events surrounding the Triwizard Tournament, he brought Buckbeak with him. Buckbeak stayed with Sirius in a cave in the mountains around Hogsmeade.[8]
Buckbeak appeared again at 12 Grimmauld Place in the spring of 1995. At some point, Buckbeak was injured by Sirius' house-elf Kreacher; when Harry attempted to contact Sirius through the Floo Network, Sirius was tending to Buckbeak's injuries.[9]
After Sirius' death, Harry inherited Buckbeak's companionship, along with Sirius' material possessions. Harry, in turn, returned Buckbeak (rechristened "Witherwings" to protect his identity; Buckbeak was supposed to be a fugitive of the law) to Hagrid's care. During the Death Eaters' attack on Hogwarts in the early summer of 1997, Buckbeak protected Harry from Severus Snape.[5]
During the Battle of Hogwarts, Buckbeak and a congregation of Thestrals attacked Voldemort's giants, pecking at their eyes.
Other Hippogriffs
In 1993, Hagrid showed thirteen other Hippogriffs to the third year students in his Care of Magical Creatures class.[7]
Hagrid raised and trained a herd of Thestrals to pull the Hogwarts carriages. The herd started out with one male and five females, with Tenebrus as the first to be bred. They are trained not to attack owls. Hagrid introduced his fifth year Care of Magical Creatures class to the herd, although only three students were able to see them.[9]
Flitterby Moths
Hagrid once owned a flock of Flitterby Moths which escaped his garden and flew into the Training Grounds. Harry Potter was given the challenge by Rolanda Hooch to catch them.[citation needed]
Unidentified creature
This thing was owned by Hagrid during 1994; he hid it under a tea towel when the Minister for Magic came.

Bug List
Maverick, X Session - Console broken
Looks like the omapfb package is broken with xorg..
Upgrade X-loader and U-boot
The content of the following git repo seems to be buggy. mmc card builds fine but after running some errors occur.
git clone git://github.com/RobertCNelson/flash-omap.git
After mk_mmc.sh you might get a
Unknown command 'mmcinit' - try 'help'
BTW: Running on a Rev. C3
I guess this one should be addressed to Rob. But anyway:
Thus you could still follow the instructions of the manual run.
Unfortunately this part is outdated as well for the u-boot which arrived late 2010.
Note: If using the latest version of u-boot note that the commands and parameters might have changed. Thus you might have to use mmc init 0; mmc rescan 0 instead of mmcinit or mmc init 0.
A fatload mmc 0:1 0x80200000 MLO will mostlikely result in something like
MMC: block number 0x1 exceeds max(0x0) ** Can't read from device 0 **
until mmc rescan 0. Such things occur quite often in community forums.
Should the current description be kept on the wiki page since older u-boots are still used? Or will we have to replace the text to make it work with the latest u-boot?
Probably this could be done in parallel when updating and solving the content of the git above?
-- Merkel 10:15, 18 May 2011 (UTC)
Rob's todo:
Adding/Testing Update MLO/xloader to 1.4.2.
--RobertCNelson 21:26, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
It is easier just to do BOTH "nand ecc sw" and "nandecc sw" to avoid mistakes where someone doesn't use the right one for their u-boot. Doing the "wrong" one won't hurt.--Jkridner 03:16, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
Adding the SGX is unclear
Your instructions on adding the SGX acceleration are unclear - you don't specify where all the files you are copying are to come from.
e.g. you say "cp *.so /usr/lib" - but you don't say WHERE you are to issue that command from.
David Hagood 21:57, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
Your choice, either the gfx_rel or the gfx_dbg* directory of the SDK. *really not sure how helpful ti/imgtec would be if we ever found a bug.. ;)
--RobertCNelson 01:46, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
any pre-made images?
It seems a lot easier to put Angstrom on the SD card than Ubuntu--why? Is there any way not to build the rootfs from scratch but rather untar onto the ext3 partition?
There's really two issues, hosting and what is a good generic package for everyone???
File Sizes when tar'ed & 7z'ed
bare-bone base: 47Mb lxde-desktop: 101Mb xfce4-desktop: 112Mb gnome-desktop: 144Mb xubuntu-desktop: 321Mb kubuntu-desktop: 357Mb ubuntu-desktop: 382Mb
I've thought of at-least uploading the bare-bone's to rcn-ee.com, which is good generic starting point, but it's still almost faster to just build lxde-desktop from scratch. (specially if you are you are using apt-cacher-ng/etc)
--RobertCNelson 13:54, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
It probably is faster to build from scratch--however (as an unfortunate medium-level non-computer professional linux user) it took me 15 hours to compile the full ubuntu-desktop image (is that normal?). For the life of me I could not get the uImage to load from my RevC3 board, no matter how I updated the uboot--however, it finally worked when I copied the MLO and uboot.bin files from my working Angstrom card as the first ones on my reformatted fat32 partition and then downloaded your kernel and renamed it uImage.bin. I'd rather know how to get it working with your instructions but I'm glad it worked. Your instructions are quite clear btw although I couldn't upgrade the kernel or write kernel scripts as I couldn't get that far--the nand just wouldn't read the uImage at all.
Considering the number of packages, 15 hours sounds about right. For reference on my dual opteron, with the full ubuntu repo mirrored it takes roughly 6 hours for ubuntu-desktop. An lxde (lxde, gdm) or xfce4 (xfce4, gdm) minimal desktop takes roughly and hour and a half... Could you pastebin your U-Boot bootup with error, I'm guessing it's the latest with the default environment (printenv) which has been changed by default to look for uImage.bin instead of just uImage (and "mmcinit" has been replaced by "mmc init")..
--RobertCNelson 12:59, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
Basically it just said "unable to read uImage file" but there was nothing special. I tried renaming uImage to uImage.bin but nothing happened. The only thing that worked for me was the combo MLO+uboot.bin+uImage.bin. --Jthiels 19:20, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
I'm not sure where to put this in the page, but adding console-setup-mini to my seed list dramatically improved my boot time. --Rwfowler 16:57, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
Maybe after the Jaunty/Karmic setup section in Build Image?
Replace "Note: For USB WIFI adapters, add package "linux-firmware, wireless-tools" to the --seed WiFi Hints: http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardUbuntuNetwork"
with an new subsection:
Useful Seeds:
console-setup-mini: fast console boot... linux-firmware, wireless-tools: WiFi Hints: http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardUbuntuNetwork
We don't need to explain every one, just ones that make a nice difference for the board..
PS. I've given some thought about making a meta package such as "ubuntu-desktop" but for the beagle, "beagle-console", "beagle-desktop"
--RobertCNelson 20:41, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

My new camera is here, I'm so happy. Already the difference is tremendous, though my Lumix was a great camera. I've only had it for a few hours so there's still lots to be learned and to be honest, I'm quite intimidated by this gadget.
Tomorrow is going to be busy, trying to get a bunch of orders out that were delayed by Columbus Day, didn't realize it was that important of a holiday, since Columbus didn't even discover America to begin with...

Congrats on the new camera! What kind did you get? I bought my first DSLR only last month and am both excited and intimidated by all it offers. Though the salesmen at the camera store called it a "good starter camera", I think my Nikon D3100 will carry me through many years to come.ReplyDelete
Yay for new cameras!! I'm actually looking to buy a new camera and having a tough time figuring out all the differences given that I'm below an amateur haha.ReplyDelete
his photo looks awesome already!! love the focus! xoReplyDelete
Looks great...have fun with it, can't wait to see more.ReplyDelete
yes what kind!? I can't believe all those photos before were from a Lumix! things are about to get wild!ReplyDelete
what camera did you get???!ReplyDelete
A Canon EOS 40D
Thank you for your comments, I love hearing from you!

Balconette, strapless, plunge, full cup, half cup – this bra business is complicated stuff. And yet, despite all of the options (design and style) out there, the majority of British women are still walking around wearing the wrong sized-bra.
One hundred years on from the brassiere's creation, most women are getting it wrong because they either don't get measured properly, are shy, can't be bothered, or are deliberately wearing the wrong size as they cannot possibly fathom being larger than a DD – the default cup for all glamour models so it seems.
Bravissimo, the bra company for ladies with a slightly larger bosom, have decided to take breasts by the straps (so to speak) with the launch of the slightly frightening and hilarious-sounding 'Boob School', which opens today in their stores across the UK, and virtually via the company's website and a Facebook app.
Its mission? To fit women with the correct size bra for once and for all – as well as actually teaching them during an in-depth cubicle session - what style suits them and how to measure themselves.
Now for those women with smaller breasts (who are in my mind blessed), you probably won't have even got this far into my piece as you'll be wondering what all the fuss is about. But the self confidence boost and health benefits of actually finding a decent (and shock, horror, pretty) hoist, (read bra) in which to contain your mounds of mammary, cannot and should not be underestimated.
Moreover, you have no idea how lucky you are that most shops cater for your small-breasted needs. I will never forget during my attempt to find 'something special for my wedding night', how one particular luxury underwear brand's moody saleswoman spoke to me when I dared to inquire if their basques came in a cup size larger than a B. She looked at me as if I was from planet big boob with such pity and primly replied: "No – we don't stock those types of sizes." Harrumph indeed, as I sloped off to Myla and enjoyed my version of a Pretty Woman shopping moment.
No other item of clothing is neglected in such a routine way than the all important brassiere is. You wouldn't wear the wrong-sized shoes would you? Boobs, like feet, need support, attention and to be housed comfortably and hopefully stylishly too.
Instead most women are regularly committing one of the seven common boob faux pas:
1. The side boob - created by a bra's wires in the cup sitting on the breast, causing it to spill out to the side, rather than on a woman's rib cage.
2. The quadraboob - made by bras which are too tight that make the breast spill over the top of the cup giving the impression of four boobs.
3. The high rider - which is where the back of the bra is too loose and rides up.
4. The big stand off – where the front of the bra doesn't fit on the sternum.
5. The super drooper - when bra fails to provide enough support.
6. Saggy cups – too much fabric in the bra creates wrinkly cups.
7. The ledge – when the bra causes over uplift making the breasts look like a shelf.
According to Laura Meneaud, Bravissimo's human resources and customer service director, most women think it's fine not to invest the time, energy and money into getting the right bra "because no one can see it" (of course other than your significant other – but then most women don't care about that either it seems…)
"The bra is an undergarment. It is not necessarily going to be seen. It I wore a grubby skirt, it would be seen by everyone and judged - but a bra won't be. A lot of women are also nervous in their own body and are too shy to go for a proper fitting," she explains.
Being a good reporter, I duly pop along to 'Boob School' for a preview and I am informed by my lovely fitter, Anne Squire, that most women and shop fitters still use an outdated measuring technique, which leads to the wrong-sized bras being bought. "In the days before Lycra, women were measured for bras with a tape measure around their midriff and then they would add four inches so there was some give.
"However people are still using that method today, which is just wrong, as it doesn't allow for an accurate volume measurement and usually means the bra ends up being too big around the middle – which is where all the support comes from."
Mad Men actress Christina Hendricks is displaying 'the ledge issue' caused by ill-fitting bras which give an 'over uplift' effect, transforming breasts into a 'ledge'
Instead the fitters at Bravissimo do it all by eye and from experience. After getting myself sorted (and learning a heck of a lot, while purchasing a very pretty and reasonably priced bra), I was really struck by something Anne shared with me.
Despite most women (98 per cent is Laura's guestimate) who come to Bravissimo being a size D cup and above, people often refuse to try on a bra which is bigger than a D.
"It's because of the impact glamour models and women in the media wearing the wrong-sized bra have on people's perception of size," Anne informs me wistfully.
"Women don't believe that they could possibly have bigger boobs than Katie Price (formerly known as Jordan), who says she is a DD. In my opinion she has never truly been a DD, even before her boob jobs. She's more like 28 JJ.
"I just wish we could teach bra fitting in schools to educate women about good practice when they are young."
All of the fitters I talk to are united in their views around this point. Busting the DD myth (sorry but it's too good a pun to miss out on), is something they all feel passionate about.
"We wanted to launch Boob School in part to try and communicate to British women that DD just isn't that massive. Most customers simply won't take any size DD bras into the changing rooms as they can't believe they could be bigger than a busty model. There's a psychological barrier there for a lot of women and it's a problem.
"But actually so many celebrities are wearing the wrong-sized bras and their misinformation becomes what people accept as fact about cup sizes," explains Laura.
"It's actually about the relationship between a woman's back size and the cup. Most women's back strap is too big and cup size too small. If you go down two sizes on the back, you usually go up two sizes in cup to get the same volume. For example, in this particular instance, if a woman was wearing a 38D bra, it would change to a 34E."
So ladies (big and small-chested alike), on the hundredth anniversary of the bra, I think it's time to do your boobs a favour and treat them to a bra which actually fits. It's the least you could do.
I will leave you with three tips I learned at Boob School:
1. Make sure your bra's back panel/strap is firm and flush to your back. (You should not be able to easily slide your hand underneath it when on).
2. Ensure that the bra's underwire sits nicely along your breasts.
3. Make sure the bra's cup sits smoothly along your skin and covers your boobs easily – not causing any double boobing, quadraboobing and the like.

Go Ahead: Ask. Tell.

Reports that the Obama administration and Congress are nearing a deal to repeal the misguided "don't ask, don't tell" (DADT) policy is good news for military effectiveness, and consistent with the highest ideals of our society.
The repeal of DADT will ensure that the most qualified, most highly motivated individuals are able to join the military. It will halt the discharge of highly trained men and women who have served their country honorably, and wish to continue to do so.
Earlier decisions to expand military service to qualified Americans, from Harry Truman's decision to end racial segregation in the military, to Gerald Ford's opening of the service academies to women, were unpopular within some quarters of American society at the time, but wise on the merits. These and other policies aimed at ensuring the most exacting standards in our military are now seen as instrumental to making it the finest in the world.
President Obama and the leaders in Congress are to be commended for this wise decision.

The HORIBA Scientific SPRi instruments are ideal solutions for label-free and multiplexed biomolecular analysis. These compact and flexible devices capable of either automated or manual operation are designed for easy determination of real-time interaction and kinetic studies. Their open formats enable numerous types of experiments covering biomolecular interactions, biochemistry, chemistry and physical-chemistry, to be explored without restriction or compromise.
This application note shows how binding kinetics of single-domain antibodies can be studied with SPRi technology. QVQ produces single-domain antibodies from camelids (sdAbs or VHH). Like conventional Abs, sdAbs are able to bind specific epitopes with high binding affinity. The small size of sdAbs allows for enhanced tumor penetration and fast blood clearance, features that are favorable for in vivo imaging applications. Here, the binding of the anti-HER2 sdAb Q17c to recombinant HER2 protein was assessed using Surface Plasmon Resonance imaging (SPRi). An optimization of immobilization conditions was performed for Q17c and its specific antigen HER2 using a single SPRi-Biochip.Read more
A monoclonal antibody (mAb) highly specific to a steroid hormone (undisclosed) of 290 Daltons was analyzed thanks to SPRi technology. This application note highlights the sensitivity of the XelPleXTM system for the detection of small molecules.Read more
Surface plasmon resonance imaging allows molecules binding study in label-free and real-time conditions. The power of the technique comes from its singularities, which are multiplexing and imaging, leading to a considerable speed-up of the processes' analyses. This will be illustrated for antibody molecule study by three applications.

DARPins (Designed Ankyrin Repeat Proteins) are a class of non-immunoglobulin binders. Thanks to their specificity and robustness, they allow a multitude of novel, so far unfeasible applications. Surface Plasmon Resonance imaging (SPRi) is a powerful label-free technique that enables real-time target detection. Combining SPRi to massspectrometry (MS) allows biomolecules identification using their unique peptide mass fingerprint. In the past this combination was cumbersome and time-consuming. This application note shows how a protein kinase (RPS6KA2), a potential drug target is detected and identified using a hyphenated On-Chip SPR-MS coupling protocol, leading to saving time and money.Read more
