Cardiff University is a leading centre of neuropsychiatric genetic research, and the MRC Centre is host to several organisations that are working together on projects to meet the challenge of public engagement. These include:
The Genomic Minds team is a conglomeration of members and affiliates of Cardiff University. The Senior member of the venture is the MRC Centre for Neuropsychiatric Genetics and Genomics, who are collaborating with the ESRC Centre for the Economic and Social Aspects of Genomics, the Wales Gene Park, Beacon for Wales Public Engagement and Science Made Simple to provide research into and organisation of public engagement in the fields of:
Jamie Lewis, Ian Jones and Mike Owen (CNGG), Katie Featherstone (SONMS), Wendy Sadler (science made simple), Choon Key Chekar, Andrew Bartlett, Michael Arribas-Ayllon, (Cesagen) Richard Watermeyer, (Beacon for Wales) Claudine Anderson (WGP) and Chris Groves (BRASS).
WHILE new developments in genetic and genomic research have advanced scientific understanding of some of these disorders, public understanding remains poor. The complexity of the science adds an additional barrier to understanding.
The challenge is to improve public understanding, and increase dialogue between publics, patients and professionals.
To meet this challenge, the MRC Centre for Neuropsychiatric Genetics and Genomics is leading a public engagement programme. As well as engagement activities, the Centre are undertaking research into public understanding of science and mental health.

so busy this week, even with the dying sickness.
went out to dinner with Sam on wednesday and that was great had awesome veggo Thai food.
and then went out to dinner again with the whole family on friday more yummy veggo food, the tofu was soooo yummy. and i had the best time. did lots of memory chasing.
then on Saturday mum, grandy and myself headed out to garden city while everyone else went to the hospital. i brought a rubik's cube! its so fun. then after that we headed out to Clair's for dinner and that was great too and we talked and laughed heaps. and when we got home i listened to my grandparents telling me about when they got engaged and all the hot sexy outfits my grandmother used to wear! it was brilliant.
now tomorrow is a big day. first I'm heading into school with mum and doing mass printing for my second collage and then we are going to watch Steve play a few songs at the pup and then he is taking me out to dinner. I'm so excited to catch up and dish it all to him.
haven't done a big update in a while. thought it was worth a go, even tho this is all probably a big jumble of spued out sick words.
today is a beautiful day. its raining and cold.
my morning did not start well. i would just like to slip away for a bit.
im going to drink tea all day and snuggle up on the couch watching movies.
even after everything im not and wont be afraid to fall again.
natasha neesons funeral looked sad, i cried abit.
i had a great weekend
i have lovely bestfriends! who will always take care of me and i will allways take care of them. they mean so much to me.
they are appart of my family and more so then some true members.
i have the flu real bad but im feeling okay
my appointment got cancelled.
sigh of anxiety.
i took a sleeping pill last night and my whole day has felt like a dream.
but im waking up and ready to go. bring on the night, i need it.
this weekend will be killer. i cant beleve its here already tho.
oh well
here i go waiting around for nessg to come pick me up.
just made some food and now im just drinking some tea trying to talk my self into being sleepy and not wide awake!
i had a sleep this afternoon…not the best idear.
good stuff and bad stuff has happend of late. But only the good stuff is worth my energy. so my grandmother called me the other day and forced my into looking at what i want to do for my 18th and im so greatful! so i have decided! and im really happy with it and have already started planning. and jen and marcia are on my little team of project ALICE. hahaha its like resident evil.
except not at all…
Jen is going to stay over tomorrow and we are going to head into the city for some fun:) so im excited about that! HM i really miss marcia and cant wait to see her!
ooo for my birthday mums paying for me to get a tattoo so im pretty stoked about that. not that i have eva needed her permission or anything to get one but she just thort it would be something good and that means something and having something for life on you're body does mean something.
this is a big jummble of bad enlish.
my hands are lazy.
i watched stand by me today, again!
love that movie, its so…hm i cant even discribe it its just perfect.
also watched the signal and tropic thunder. tropic thunder was brilliantly funny.
its seems people have forgotten that relationships take time and work and people will make mistakes and you help them get back up and move one. you help one another thats what relationships are about. they are about kindness and love. but you also have to see when someone is bringing you down with them and is hurting you in wrong ways. you have to see when they are bringing more dark then light more bad than good. you have to take care of yourself and sometimes thats really hard.
i guess thats all, im waiting for the highs to come back.
on friday night i fell alseep on top of my covers, i was listening to music trying to concentrate on the words and not other things. i guess it worked in away, or i just passed out from my anxiety/narcolepsis. then i slowly woke up with people telling me there was coffee waiting, watched a bit of tv, talked about things that i didnt want to talk about, got ready and headed out the the IKEA MEGA STORE!
its truely amazing. theres so much awesome stuff with amazing displays like a real home. they should have and ikea mega store connected to a large mall so when dooms day comes i can go live there. they have this amazing self serve cafeteria! it was just like at an american high school with the trays and sliding it alone and picking the plates of food you want. and you can get as many drink refills as you want. its brilliant and sooo cheap.
i got this cute little lamp its pink and makes nice pink light in my room, i love it.
after ikea we headed out to trambie house but it was shut for emergency works. it was such a bummer! i love going there you can imainge a whole diffrent life and create exciting storys about what you would have done if you lived there. well thats what me and mum always do. so after that rejection we went to the parkerville tavern in mundaring and it was so cute and fun and i felt like a hobbit from the shire.
it was so nice having my gram with me! she is so cute and we have a great time. im going to go for a holiday there super soon, maybe even tomorrow. i might just leave with her.
i have had extreamly hard night. i dont realy know what to say or to write.
excpet its all still there and i dont know how to get ridd of it. i dont even know if i want to.
i had the worst nightmares last night
i feel so terrible i can hardly stay awake and i went to bed at like 10 : 30 got up at 11 : 30
i just want someone to say you're right. its okay. and dont worry.
like i need any more stress.
i feel like i have lost everyone and gained nothing. today i feel the most empty i have ever felt. mums coming home at 12 so she can be with me.
i am having one of the worst nights of my life. and its going to get worse. because i have to let people down and i hate that.
so this weekend was great except for today.
im so drained and i feel awful and im not going to get into why.
this week is going to be bad i can just tell… I should just escape to denmark/albany for a bit i have been dealing here for so long, im ready to run away for a bit.

Notebook on Cities and Culture, the successor to the public radio interview program The Marketplace of Ideas where Colin Marshall sits down for in-depth conversation with cultural creators, internationalists, and observers of the urban scene in Los Angeles and beyond.
I like to put my money where my heart is. Colin Marshall creates great work of importance to me, and I'm incredibly pleased to make this post about his latest project, as well as help potentially fund it. In 2009 Colin spoke with Merlin Mann, who also spoke at the first MaxFunCon. The combination of the two talks strongly affected my views of work and self-purpose in ways that still benefit me every day.

Back Pain Health Center
New Procedure Effective Against Lower Back Pain
This procedure is only suitable for certain patients, the authors emphasize. It is not suitable if there is an extruded, or displaced, disk pressing on a nerve, or when disk heights have decreased. To get such good results, you need doctors with lots of experience in discography. "The two physicians who did these procedures were highly skilled 'needle jockeys,'" says Karasek. "They were very good at placing the needle in the disc and understanding the images they saw."
"This is valuable research, particularly since lower back pain is one of the most common causes of time lost from work," Miles Day, MD, tells WebMD. "Neurosurgery is expensive and time consuming, and cannot guarantee successful results. This new procedure is not a panacea or silver bullet, but it is a valuable tool." Day is a pain specialist at Texas Tech Medical Center's International Pain Institute and an assistant professor of pain medicine and anesthesiology at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center in Lubbock.
The procedure itself takes only about an hour, under local anesthesia, Day says. Patients should not expect immediate improvement. For the first two weeks after the procedure, the pain may even be worse, because the disk needs time to heal. But over the next several months, the pain should gradually lessen. "I would never say to a patient, 'this will fix all your pain'. I would tell them they may see 25% or 50% improvement," Day says.
Dennis Doherty, DO, agrees. "If it were my back or my wife's back or my mother's back, I would try this procedure, particularly if the only alternative is [major surgery]." Doherty is medical director of the Shepard Pain Center and associate clinical professor of anesthesia and pain management at Emory University School of Medicine, both in Atlanta.

Publication: theday.com
Southeastern Connecticut residents may soon have a new area code to deal with as a 959 alternative joins the established 860 as a prefix possibility in all but the southwestern part of the state starting Saturday.
The change comes nearly two decades after Connecticut, which long was united by a single 203 area code, went through the wrenching change of adding an 860 prefix for residents in the eastern and northwestern parts of the state.
"That decision was actually more controversial," said Michael W. Coyle, spokesman for the state Public Utilities Regulatory Authority.
The issue the first time around in 1995 was largely a question of "why me," Coyle recalled, as business people questioned why they, and not those in other parts of the state, would have to be the ones to reprint menus and business cards to comply with the new area code.
Now, he said, the change is less life-altering because people will be able to keep their old numbers. Only newly assigned numbers will be converted to the 959 area code, and it's not clear exactly when the conversion will start happening — only that the state, thanks to the proliferation of cellphones, pagers, modems and other modern devices, is running out of 860 numbers.
And that's saying something, because there are about 750,000 numbers available with each area code. Still, by the end of the year, the new 959 prefix should start appearing for both landlines and cellphones (as well as other devices), according to the regulatory authority known as PURA.
"The change will be transparent for most customers," Coyle said.
PURA said the most likely customers to receive the 959 area code are those requesting new service, an additional line or perhaps moving their service from one company to another. The new area code is the biggest change for phone customers since Connecticut instituted 10-digit dialing five years ago, which required residents to dial an area code for local calls that previously did not require a prefix.
The 959 number is being "overlayed" on the existing 860 area code service area, which means the new prefix will be treated just like the old one regarding whether a number will be considered long distance. In other words, a 959 number in Groton called from this area will not require customers to dial "1" in front of it, while a Hartford number with the same prefix will necessitate the long-distance indicator.
Prices for local and long-distance calls are not altered by the area code addition.
"Local calling areas and dialing patterns will remain the same," Coyle said.

To St. Johns, division two opening round matchup between St. Johns and Sault Saint Marie.
St. Johns led 7-nothing and had the Blue Devils backed up deep in their own territory, from the 1 yard line, the Soo QB Michael James with the keeper. He finds a hole and a seam in the red wing defense. Nifty cutback and he gets it all the way to midfield, that set up the Devils' 1st TD but the extra point was blocked.
Now on the ensuing kickoff, take a look at T.J. Havens., pick it up on the roll and he takes right off. Darts his way past all of the pursuing defenders and all the way into the opposing endzone. 63 yards for a touchdown and a 14 to 6 Red Wing lead...
Ring that bell girls.
Some razzle dazzle before the half by Sault St. Marie on 4th and goal...Michael James fumbles but I believe that was intentional, then a shovel pass to Kyle Root, he cuts back, fumbles at the goal line but the Blue Devils recover in the endzone to make it.
14 to 12 at the half, the Soo took the lead 20 to 14 but St. Johns scored with 9 minutes left and celebrated a 21 to 20 win to move on.

Cops Rescue Baby -- Or Not
These dolls are so life-like, police tried to save one.
Concerned that a baby was lying unconscious in a car, police smashed the window open only to find one of those creepy "reborn dolls" instead of an actual infant in peril. The dolls, meticulously crafted by women with a desperate need to "play house," can cost thousands of dollars and come with everything from motorized heart beats to fake keepsake umbilical cords.
Vynette Cernik, (shown holding her doll) was apologetic about the incident: "People do have to be careful when they go out with them," Cernick said. "I tell them to hold them properly, not dangle them by one leg or something, because other people do think they are real babies and become alarmed." Some concerned Aussie citizens have suggested the owners of reborns put signs on the dolls saying they are fake. Something tells us the women who are obsessed--some might say addicted--to making dolls look real wouldn't be into that idea.
Bleeding critical mail to conditional on be ashamed on.. I am exceedingly impressed with this article. Looking looking for future posts.

It was my sister's birthday last week. She had some friends over for dinner and while they were over, some of them had a go at lino printing. Katherine is off to the USA tomorrow. Each of us designed an image to go on a card, which we could then write and send to her. As a general note, lino printing and cocktails should not be combined. Luckily no hands were hurt in the making of these cards.

I have perhaps left the wrapping a little late. Just finished the last of the presents to go under the tree. I decided to print some of my own paper this year using the squiggle tree design. I am very pleased with how it came out, but unlikely to do it again – each sheet took a few hours to print. Beautiful, but perhaps not the best use of time!
Merry Christmas to you all. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and New Year.

I finally found managed to finish the origami envelopes! I didn't want them to get folded or damaged, so I found some display folders to put them in. I then added a tag to the front. Each set has its own little monster drawn on the tag. I also included an instruction sheet and stickers – just to make the envelopes a little more secure in the post.

I managed to find an afternoon during my recent trip to Scotland to go out to Balmedie beach. I took the dog with me, went for a walk and then found a nice sand dune to sit and draw. Unfortunately, I forgot to take any photos to show you, but I did put some up in a previous post from September last year. I'll put the pictures here again to save you have to click back and forth, they don't quite correspond to the images I have drawn but at least they give you an idea.
I am just in the process of turning one of these images into a print. Just waiting for it to dry and then I will put it up here and share it with you.

The last few days have been spent folding, rolling and wrapping tea towels. After the success of the squiggle heart canvas bag, I decided that I would put my design onto something else. The squiggle designs work quite well for printing onto textules as they are relatively simple and only require one colour. Rather than bags I decided to screen print the designs on to tea towels. The designs I chose were 'Three little girls' and 'Carrots'. I still need to take some better pictures, but here are the ones I have so far. I was having a little trouble getting nice images of the full length tea towels. If anyone has any good ideas let me know.
They are available on folksy. Just click here to visit the shop.

While I was up in Scotland teaching I had the chance to go along to Susie's life drawing sessions. Her and a few fellow artists get together once a week to draw and socialise.
I was a little worried about it to start with; I haven't done any life drawing for quite some time. The worry disappeared very quickly though. The life drawing session was really good. It was like meeting an old friend that you have not seen for a very long time and realising that nothing has changed – you are as comfortable and easy in their company now as you were before. It helped that Susie has a great model. She was very good at holding the same pose for thirty to forty minutes, giving you plenty of time to draw. The chin-wag and glass of wine with the other artists afterwards was also fun. I had forgotten how much I enjoy life drawing, I think I might have to go and find myself a group to join…

Recipe by Bonnie
"Filling enough to have as a breakfast - I recommend it!"
Watch video tips and tricks
1 cup
cold milk
oranges, peeled and segmented
1/4 cup
1 pinch
1/2 (8 ounce) container
vanilla fat-free yogurt
4 cubes
I love smoothie's for breakfast and the combination of orange and banana is wonderful, however I tweaked the recipe to my tastes. I froze my banana and used orange juice vs. a fresh orange. I left out the salt and used a bit more ice. I used less milk and more yogurt to make it thicker and cut back on the sugar. Overall, very good but you do need to play with it a bit.
I used orange juice instead of fresh oranges. This smoothie was a bit sour tasting-the yogurt and oj made a sour after taste of spoiled milk. I will make again but add my own variations.
40 Ratings
My kids and I made this "potion." They liked it, but it seemed a bit sour with the yogurt until I added about 1/4 cup orange juice. This seemed to do the trick and it was gone quickly.
I have to agree with the previous review. Done by the recipe, it lacks what your looking for in taste when it comes to a smoothie though I will say the fresh oranges vs. orange juice does make a difference. I changed it up just a bit, added some vanilla powder and a few extra ice cubes - for me this did the trick.
I have a twist to this recipe that made it turn out wonderful. I put one banana chopped, about 12 ice cubes, 1 cup of milk, 3 drops of vanilla extract, two peeled fresh oranges and 5 packets of Splenda. I really like things sweet, and the Splenda added a great taste!
i used this as a guide but i left out the milk, salt and sugar and one of the oranges. all i really had was one banana, one orange and a single-serve container of lite yogurt with a few ice cubes. worked out perfect for one serving.
the orange didn't blend and it came out stringy, chunky and nasty.
I made this using plain weight watchers plain yogurt, and only added 1 tbs sugar and added a few drops of vanilla. plus I used 1/2 cup oj instead of orange. very yummy that way! oh plus added a couple chunks of fresh pineapple. delish!

text: My early birthday gift to myself. :) Today I went to the Pennsylvania Endless Mountains Fiber Fest, with one thing on my shopping list — a yarn bowl. Because they are awesome and I'd like something better to hold my yarn instead of always having to retrieve it from the floor when it's rolled away. There was one vendor with yarn bowls, but I wasn't particularly in love with any of them. So I decided I'd search Etsy until I found something I adored. I saw this and was in love. It's an ugly piranha face (well, cute-ugly) that is so the opposite of the other pretty yarn bowls — I knew I had to have him.

Hi Ben, there are two types of Marsh Frog - the Striped Marsh Frog (Limnodynastes peroni) and the Spotted Marsh Frog (Limnodynastes tasmaniensis). They look very similar and have similar distributions and life styles, and both occur in Sydney, but your frogs are most likely to be the latter.
Marsh Frogs can be common in suburban areas and many gardeners build frog bogs to encourage them. Having frogs in your backyard can be a sign of a healthy environment, particularly if they've moved in of their own accord. You can't be fined for having them there, so just sit back and enjoy them.
Science work awesome

Judas is very proud.
Article 81 of Ukraine's Constitution prohibits a member from leaving the faction in which they were elected. If a member does not retrain his membership of the faction that appointed him he loses his mandate and authority to remain a member of parliament. MP's can not sit as independents. But what else can you expect from a party that has no respect for the rule of law or Ukraine's imperative mandate. A party that is lead by a disgraced ex-President who consistently ignored the provisions of Ukraine's Constitution..
Article 81
The authority of a People's Deputy of Ukraine shall terminate prior to the expiration of his or her term in office in the event of:
(6) his or her failure, as having been elected from a political party (an electoral bloc of political parties), to join the parliamentary faction representing the same political party (the same electoral bloc of political parties) or his or her exit from such a faction;
Where a People's Deputy of Ukraine, as having been elected from a political party (an electoral bloc of political parties), fails to join the parliamentary faction representing the same political party (the same electoral bloc of political parties) or exits from such a faction, the highest steering body of the respective political party (electoral bloc of political parties) shall decide to terminate early his or her authority on the basis of a law, with the termination taking effect on the date of such a decision
Article 81 combined with Article 83 makes it clear that the formation of a governing coalition by individual MP's is unconstitutional
Article 83
According to election results and on the basis of a common ground achieved between various political positions, a coalition of parliamentary factions shall be formed in the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine to include a majority of People's Deputies of Ukraine within the constitutional composition of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine.
Framework for forming, organising, and terminating activities of a coalition of parliamentary factions in the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine shall be established by the Constitution of Ukraine and the Rules of Procedure of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine.
The key question hangs on the definition of a "parliamentary faction" and the reference to a parliamentary faction being determined by the election results (i.e. the party list in which a member was appointed.) The constitutional Court has previously ruled on such a position. It is the faction as a whole that decides membership of a coalition not individual members.
In 2007 Yushchenko dismissed the previous Parliament because at the time he claimed that the then government was unconstitutional (in spite the fact that it was comprised of a factions who together represented a majority of the Parliament). Now it is his own faction/party that is in breach of the constitution. It seams that the constitution only applies when it suites the political requirements at the time. Our Ukraine - People's Self Defense should act to have those members who act outside of the factions mandate expelled and removed from office. (Article 81)
The main problem with the Party List system is that the power to appoint is in the hands of Party leaders. This only encourages corruption and cronyism. The only way to ensure a true democratic line of authority -from Rada to people- is through single member constituencies where the member is fully accountable to the people who vote for him/her. He can of course cross the floor of the house and betray his electorate but will never be elected again by his constituents. Usually MP's want to do right by those who elect them and they want to be popular and re-elected two or three times.

The Canadian National Building Code, which was created in 2010, lists requirements for emergency lighting for commercial and public buildings in the case of a power outage. There are Canadian Emergency Lights, created for installation in these buildings, as a separate light source than the normal building lighting, and for automatic use in the case of power outage. All of the emergency lights are CSA Listed for use in the United States AND Canada. You can be confident in the compliance of our emergency lights for use in Canada. Pick any model, compliance is assured!
The lighting units are battery powered, running off of an internal rechargeable battery. All the emergency lights within a building are connected to the building's power grid; usually on their own circuit. When the units are installed, the batteries needs to fully charge, an activity that can take up to 3-1/2 hour, depending upon the model and options.
There is circuitry within the lighting unit that charges the battery and maintains it charged at all times, pulling AC power from the building and converting it to DC for this purpose. The same circuit board senses when the building's power has been cut, automatically turning on the lights.
The lamps themselves are located in adjustable lamp heads, which allow the beam to be focused and directed to the walkway that you are trying to illuminate. These are low voltage DC bulbs, because they need to draw their power from the battery. The battery in these units is sized to provide enough power to keep the lamps illuminated for a minimum of thirty minutes, without any loss of illumination
All exit routes from the building or facility are required to be illuminated in the case of power loss. The normally acceptable illumination level is 1 foot-candle of illumination, measured at a distance of 1 foot above the floor. Depending upon your municipality, the 1 foot-candle illumination specification can either be considered an average or a requirement throughout the exit route.
The adjustable heads on Canadian Emergency Lights allow you to point the beam of light directly down the center of the corridor. Some models even allow for turning one lamp head to shine around a corner, allowing you to illuminate a short corridor without the addition of another lighting unit.
Canadian Emergency Lights are tested by and listed with CSA. Even so, once installed, you are required to perform monthly and annual tests of their function.
Should a unit fail to pass the monthly or annual test, it must be repaired. The most common repairs are replacement of bulbs and batteries. For this reason, a stock of bulbs and batteries should be maintained in your maintenance department. Other components, like transformers and circuit boards are much less likely to need replacement.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Grammy Awards celebrated the diversity of music as six different artists tied for top nominee – Kanye West, Jay-Z, Frank Ocean, Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys, Mumford & Sons and fun.
Auerbach received five nominations as a member of the Keys and also is up for producer of the year, earning a spot with the others at the top of the list as the Grammy's prime-time television special came to his hometown Wednesday night.
Indie pop band fun., a featured performer during the show, aired live from Nashville's Bridgestone Arena on CBS, rode the success of its anthemic hit We Are Young, featuring Janelle Monae, to sweep of the major categories, earning nods for best new artist, song and record for We Are Young and album of the year for Some Nights. The band's producer Jeff Bhasker is up for four nominations.
When you call your band fun. with a period at the end of the sentence, you set a very high standard for yourself and for fun itself, Taylor Swift, the concert's co-host, said in introducing them. Fortunately this band from New York has lived up to the name in the best possible way.
R&B singer Ocean made a bold social statement earlier this year when he noted he had a same-sex relationship in the liner notes of his new album channel ORANGE, and The Recording Academy rewarded him with the major nominations best new artist, record for Thinkin Bout You and album of the year.
And British folk-rock band Mumford & Sons, which made an auspicious debut in front of an international audience during the 2011 Grammys, is up for album of the year for Babel, one of 2012's best-selling releases.
Miguel, who helped Ocean shake up the R&B world this year, and jazz great Chick Correa join the Keys with five nominations apiece. Nas and recording engineer Bob Ludwig join Bhasker at four apiece.
There were no major snubs among the top nominees. Most of 2012's inescapable hits are represented in some way – Gotye's Somebody That I Used To Know is up for record of the year and Carly Rae Jepsen's Call Me Maybe garnered a song of the year nod. Drake, Rihanna and Swift, Kelly Clarkson, Jack White and best new artist nominee Hunter Hayes were among 16 nominees with three nods.
In many ways the nominations reflect a singles-driven year when no album rose to the level of acclaim as Adele's 21 or West's My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, which dominated last year.
The 55th annual Grammy Awards will be held Feb. 10 in Los Angeles. Trophies will be handed out in 81 categories.

The Rock — a.k.a. Dwayne Johnson — is set to make his WWE return this April in a highly anticipated match with John Cena at Wrestlemania XXVIII. Apparently wrestling fans are super excited. The event also happens to be set in Miami, where Johnson played college football. Knowing this, Sportscenter decided to have The Rock on for a promotion on Thursday afternoon. Either he has never watched a live edition of Sportscenter before, or Johnson just felt like ruffling some feathers. He swore a total of three teams in a segment that lasted a few minutes. Check out this video of The Rock swearing on Sportscenter. Obviously, the language is NSFW.

Attitude Differentiates The Brand Selection (From the view of Generation Y people)
AbstractAbstract: Attitude makes perception about anything, yes it cannot be neglected that in order to make some attitude towards specific brand; previous performance, good word of mouth or suggestion from other, attractive advertising and highly spend on promotional tools are play a vital role. Positive attitude and negative attitude influence a consumer in brand selection but a problem arises, some people also have a positive attitude but they do not buy brand. It was observed that some of people compromise with their family brand. A research was based on to find the relation of that positive and negative attitude toward selection of brand. 240 observations have been taken randomly through questionnaire and taken them into consideration and applied categorical regression or optimal scaling. It was found that generation y people mostly go for their prefer brands rather than compromise with their family brands.

Jason Reitman Biography
Jason Reitman Biography on Monsters and Critics
"Jason Reitman" (born October 19, 1977) is a Canadian-born film director, screenwriter, producer and actor, best known for directing the films "Thank You for Smoking" (2006), "Juno" (2007), and "Up in the Air" (2009).
Early life
Reitman was born in Montreal, Quebec, the first of three children of comedy director Ivan Reitman and French-Canadian actress Geneviève Robert, sometimes billed as Geneviève Deloir. He has two younger sisters, Catherine and Caroline. His father, Ivan, directed the successful films "Ghostbusters", "Stripes", and "Kindergarten Cop". Jason described his childhood self as 'a loser... a movie geek... and shy.' In the late 1980s, Reitman began appearing in small acting parts and serving as a production assistant on his father's films. He spent time in the editing rooms of his father's movies, learning the process. Throughout his 20s, instead of accepting offers to make commercial feature films, Reitman began making his own short films and directing commercials. Although he was offered the opportunity to direct "Dude, Where's My Car?" on two separate occasions, he declined.
Reitman graduated from the Harvard-Westlake School in 1995 and majored in English/Creative Writing at University of Southern California.
Film career
Reitman at the 2007 Toronto International Film Festival
In 2005, Reitman's first feature film "Thank You for Smoking" opened. Reitman developed the Christopher Buckley novel into a screenplay and, eventually, a film. The movie was a commercial success. It grossed over $39 million worldwide by the end of its run, and was nominated for two Golden Globes. After the success of "Thank You for Smoking", Reitman mentioned in an interview that his next film would be adapting another book (a 'white collar satire') into a film. He also mentioned that he had plans to work with Buckley again on an original project. Although the first of these projects would eventually become "Up in the Air" , this second project has not come to fruition.
His second film, "Juno", generated great buzz after it premiered at the 2007 Toronto Film Festival and was released in December 2007. It received tremendous critical acclaim (it was Roger Ebert's favourite film of 2007) and received Oscar nominations for Best Picture, Ellen Page's performance as the title character, Diablo Cody's original screenplay, and Reitman himself for Best Director. Reitman did win other awards for his work on "Juno", including Best Director at the 2008 Canadian Comedy Awards; he was also honoured with the 'Cinema for Peace Award 2008 for Most Valuable Work of Director, Producers & Screenwriter'. The film thus far has grossed over $140 million at the U.S. box office, making it the largest success of Reitman's career and more successful than any of his father's films since "Kindergarten Cop". Brad Silberling was originally attached to direct the movie, but he dropped out over casting differences. Reitman was in the middle of writing a screenplay when he came on board to direct "Juno" and, at one point, he expressed intent to finish writing and to direct this screenplay.
In March 2006, Reitman formed the production company 'Hard C Productions' with producing partner Daniel Dubiecki, and they have several projects in the works. The company has an overall deal with Fox Searchlight Pictures, the company that distributed Reitman's first two films. Reitman describes his production company's goal as being to produce 'small subversive comedy that is independent but accessible'. Reitman states that he and Dubiecki 'want to make unusual films, and anything that turns a genre on its ear'. Through Hard C Productions, Reitman is set to produce and direct "Banzai Shadowhands", a comedy about 'a once-great ninja who is now living a life of mediocrity'. "Shadowhands" will be written by "The Office"s Rainn Wilson. Reitman met Wilson on the set of his father's film "My Super Ex-Girlfriend", in which Wilson had a supporting role. No start date for filming has been set, and it is unclear as to whether or not Wilson is finished with the script.
Hard C Productions produced films "The Ornate Anatomy of Living Things" and "Jennifer's Body". "Anatomy" has been written by Matthew Spicer and Max Winkler, and will revolve around 'a Gotham bookstore clerk who discovers a museum devoted to his life'. "Jennifer's Body", a horror comedy, was written by Diablo Cody and starred Megan Fox. It revolved around a cheerleader who is possessed by a demon and starts feeding off the boys in a Minnesota farming town.
In the spring of 2009, Reitman directed "Up in the Air" starring George Clooney. "Up in the Air" is based on a novel written by Walter Kirn about a corporate downsizer who travels from city to city and is fanatical about collecting his ten millionth frequent flier mile. The film features real-world characters cast from the ranks of the recently downsized. 'Hidden within a film that seems to be about corporate termination and the economy is a movie about the decision whether to be alone or not,' noted Reitman,' in an interview conducted just prior to the film's nationwide release. Reitman's "Up in the Air" screenplay won the Golden Globe Award for best screenplay in 2010.
Though Reitman has claimed in interviews that he wrote the script under specific circumstances, a "Los Angeles Times" article states otherwise. One things Reitman asserts is that he wrote specific roles for certain actors. This is curious in that many different actors met Reitman for roles that eventually were cast with Vera Farmiga and Anna Kendrick - but only after the fact.
Other work
Reitman at the
Before his feature film career began, Jason Reitman wrote and directed six short films. He financed his first short film, 'Operation', with money he made by selling ads in desk calendars. The film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 1998.
He was a guest on "The Howard Stern Show" on April 10, 2008; when he was asked if he would direct "Ghostbusters 3" and cast Howard, he said 'do you know how many times I get asked if I want to do "Ghostbusters 3"? Looking at my career so far, I mean if you just looked at my two films, I would make the most boring "Ghostbusters" movie. It would just be people talking about ghosts, there wouldn't be any ghost-busting in it.' Stern, a friend of Ivan Reitman, also revealed that he had seen Jason's early short films and was impressed enough to offer him the opportunity to direct an episode of "Son of the Beach" (a TV series he produced, a goofy parody of "Baywatch"), which Jason declined, citing that he was busy obtaining financing for "Thank You For Smoking" at the time.
Reitman produced and directed the 2007 holiday season commercials for Wal-Mart with advertising agency Bernstein-Rein. He has also directed ads for Burger King, Nintendo, BMW, and Buick. In television, Reitman directed two episodes of "The Office" entitled 'Local Ad' and 'Frame Toby'. Reitman also directed a three-part pretaped sketch for the NBC show "Saturday Night Live" called 'Death By Chocolate,' about a walking candy bar (played by episode host Ashton Kutcher) who murders people (stabbing a homeless man, shooting a doctor, cutting off a life support machine on a coma victim, and slicing Andy Samberg dressed as a lumberjack with a chainsaw).
Personal life
In 2004, he married writer Michele Lee, with whom he co-wrote the 2004 comedic short 'Consent.' The two had their first child in 2006.

Even if there have been plenty of aftermarket programs being done on the BMW 1-Series M Coupe , there's always room for more. After all, the car has been extremely popular in the short time that it's been released so there's a reason behind it's been a tuning favorite.
The latest to take a stab at the baby 1M Coupe is Manhart Racing, which built an aerodynamic and performance package for the sports car. The car has yet to be unveiled to the press, but courtesy of Bimmertoday, photos and details of Manhart Racing's work have been released. On the outside, the additions made include a new carbon fiber front spoiler lip, a rear diffuser, a new paint finish with Manhart-exclusive decals, a lowered suspension system, and a set of new 20" alloy wheels. Inside, Manhart dressed up the 1M Coupe with BMW Performance bucket seats with orange contrast stitching.
As for the powertrain, the changes made to the 3.0-liter, twin-turbo inline-six cylinder include a remapped ECU program and the addition of a new sport exhaust system, bumping the output up from the standard 335 horsepower all the way up to 414 horsepower.
It's not the most powerful tuning program for the popular 1-Series M Coupe - TVW Car Design's work has the slight edge in the department - but it's still impressive and is definitely something BMW can be proud.

If you guys didn't know, my physical change, energy level and wellbeing have been greatly influenced by Nerd Fitness. The blogger/nerd rebel leader, Steve Kamb wrote a post on Saint that spurred my change to six pack abs and his blog gave me the resources and tools to achieve them.
Everything from his blog clicked with me from the "No BS" attitude in accomplishing your goals, to live your life's dream, fitness/nutrition information and being entertained by his Epic Quest. My idea to start Ninja Fitness came from him. I hope to become as successful like him in influencing people like me to get in shape.
Then as fate would have it…
STEVE KAMB COMES TO ATLANTA! And I was able to meet him.
Meeting Steve surprised me because after reading his blog, I envisioned him to be a little nerdy but my initial impression of him was "suave"ness. He comes into the restaurant with jeans, a button up shirt, "motorcycle" jacket with styled hair. On top of that he is well spoken and funny. It actually kind of threw me off. I started thinking,
"Ok Steve, you are too cool to be a nerd. Are you a rockstar with a groupie following you around? Are you really a nerd? James Bond?"
But he is a nerd…once you start bringing up video games =D
Anyways, I was warmed by his down to earth persona. He made sure to talk to all the people that showed up (8-9 peeps). We had your stereotypical nerds, NF followers/fans, people trying to get into blogging, and a ninja (Ok, ok…I actually fall in all the categories mentioned (minus the nerd) but I'm more of a fan than anything else). I was surprised how willingly he was in dishing out advice and pearls of wisdom to people who want to grow their blogs. He was genuinely nice, helpful and a stand up guy. Everybody in the room was happy that the NF Rebel leader could make an appearance. Kind of like Darth Vader visiting the storm troopers….
Ok…maybe not because they were deathly scared of him.
Regardless, we were glad that Steve Kamb of Nerd Fitness made a stop in Atlanta and we hope he keeps coming through.
Come visit again!
