Happy 2013! This post is a chain self-interview about my next book project. I've read the blog chain started on She Writes a few months ago. My author pal Dina Santorelli tapped me to take part, and I want to thank her for thinking of me. In return, I've asked my writer friends Siobhan Fallon and Roger Colby to post their own interviews next week, so be sure to check out their answers.
- What is your working title of your book (or story)?
I have a few irons in the fire including a short story collection, an upmarket women's fiction novel, and a sequel to The Flower Bowl Spell. I'll talk about that even though it's in the crappy first draft stage. The working title is The Flower Bowl Ghost.
- Where did the idea come from for the book?
The idea comes from my first book about Memphis Zhang, The Flower Bowl Spell. She's an intriguing character, and there were some unanswered questions in the first book. I think it'll be fun to find out what happens next.
- What genre does your book fall under?
Good question! I guess it falls under urban fantasy, although I'm not really sure. It's too plot-driven to be magic realism, I suppose.
- Which actors would you choose to play your characters in a movie rendition?
A fun thought. I think Memphis could be played by Olivia Munn. Bradley Cooper could be Cooper! (Kismet!) Harry Shum, Jr. would be fantastic as Tyson.
- What is the one-sentence synopsis of your book?
A young, powerful San Francisco witch discovers her dark side—and likes it.
- Will your book be self-published or represented by an agency?
- How long did it take you to write the first draft of your manuscript?
Um, too long? But I was able to get it all out with the help of NaNoWriMo last November.
- What other books would you compare this story to within your genre?
A Discovery of Witches, the Sookie Stackhouse series.
- Who or what inspired you to write this book?
My fount of inspiration bubbled up from my Wiccan research. I wanted to get to know that culture beyond what I had seen in TV shows and books. Then I decided to write my own fictional account of a Wiccan. It seemed fun, and it was!
- What else about your book might pique the reader's interest?
I published The Flower Bowl Spell almost a year ago as an e-book and then later as a paperback. To celebrate the upcoming first anniversary, I'm planning a giveaway. Stay tuned!

Rated 5 out of 5�by 3 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5�by Skip This product has great feature's. This helmet was the best fit for me at the store. I wear a larger size hat (7and 5/8) so getting a fit off the shelf for an item like this is important to me. A couple of rides confirms the fit and comfort. April 16, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Gary34 Bike Helmet The Nishiki Pagosa bike helmet is very light weight, comfortable, and provides the protection that I want. It gives me the peace of mind and style that makes biking more enjoyable. December 26, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by Louis 1943 Most Important Piece of Equipment Started in-line skating at 69 which may not be the most sensible activity to start doing at that age. I will say that I did not fall until my third outing and all I can say is that I am lucky that I had a quality product protecting my coconut. I did take a good spill falling to one side and literally whiplashed my head to the pavement hard enough to knock of the visor. Can't say that any other product would not have been as effective as my Nishiki but I am fortunate that I had this on because I would have been seriously hurt. I was mildly disoriented for a few moments and without the helmet, I definitely would have been knocked out. Don't chinz on this piece of equipment. Get a Nishiki or at least something equivalent. Highly recommend!!!! April 17, 2013

This is part of a series of seven articles describing new bioluminescent substrates to be used for drug screening and assaying enzymatic activity.
Mary Sobol, Dongping Ma, Carolyn C. Woodroofe and James J. Cali
CYP4F12 is a cytochrome P450 enzyme (CYP) that catalyzes the oxidation of leukotrienes, arachidonic acid and certain drugs(1)
. CYP4F12 is expressed predominately in the liver with lower levels in the kidney, colon, small intestine and heart (6)
. Enzyme assays for CYP4F12 typically include a chromatographic separation step (e.g., radiometric, HPLC or LC/MS-based assays), limiting the ease-of-use and throughput. Therefore, a simple, multiwell plate-based CYP4F12 enzyme assay is needed, and the luminogenic assay described here meets these criteria.
Luminogenic CYP assays use prosubstrates for the light-generating reaction of firefly luciferase. CYPs convert the prosubstrates to luciferin, which makes light in a second reaction with luciferase (7)
. The amount of light generated is proportional to the amount of luciferin produced by the CYP and therefore to CYP enzyme activity (8)
. Multiple CYP enzymes are encoded by families of genes in humans and other organisms (9)
. The CYP enzyme selectivity for a given luminogenic substrate depends on the nature of the derivatization on the luciferin structure.
Here we demonstrated that 2-(6-(4-chlorobenzyloxy)benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)-4,5-dihydrothiazole-4-carboxylic acid, a luciferin derivative referred to as Luciferin-4F12, was selectively converted to luciferin by the human CYP4F12 enzyme. We describe how this luciferase prosubstrate is used in a luminogenic CYP4F12 biochemical assay to detect CYP4F12 activity and CYP4F12 inhibitors, and can be used in a multiwell-plate format.
The CYP4F12 enzyme assay was performed using instructions in the P450-Glo™ Assay Technical Bulletin #TB325 and P450-Glo™ Screening Systems Technical Bulletin #TB340. The CYP enzymes used were recombinant human forms in microsomes from insect cells that coexpressed a human CYP cDNA with P450 reductase or P450 reductase plus cytochrome b5 (Gentest™ Supersomes™, BD Biosciences). A 25mM stock solution of Luciferin-4F12 (MW = 404.89) was prepared in dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO).* The CYP4F12 enzyme assays were performed using 10µM Luciferin-4F12 substrate (Cat.# P1661) or as indicated in figure legends, 100mM KPO4 (pH 7.4), 2nM CYP4F12 enzyme coexpressed with P450 reductase and cytochrome b5 (0.1pmol/50µl reaction), and 1X NADPH Regeneration System (Cat.# V9510).
Assays were assembled and performed in opaque white 96-well plates (e.g., white polystyrene, 96-well plates [Costar Cat.# 3912]). After incubating reactions for 10 minutes at 37°C or room temperature (20–23°C), 50µl of Luciferin Detection Reagent (LDR; Cat.# V8920, V8921) was added to each 50µl CYP reaction to stop the reactions and initiate luminescence. The luminescence was read after 20 minutes using the GloMax® 96 Microplate Luminometer (Cat.# E6501) and reported in relative light units (RLU).
For convenience, you can prepare a 4X concentrated enzyme/buffer/substrate mix (400mM KPO4 [pH 7.4], 40µM Luciferin-4F12, 8nM CYP4F12)*, 4X concentrated test compound solution (e.g., for CYP inhibition assays) and 2X concentrated NADPH Regeneration System. For a 50µl reaction, combine 12.5µl of the 4X enzyme mixture with 12.5µl of 4X test compound and initiate the reaction by adding 25µl of the NADPH Regeneration System (10)
*Note: Luciferin-4F12 solubility in KPO4 buffer is improved when the 25mM DMSO stock solution is first diluted to an intermediate concentration of 0.2mM in 100mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5).
The putative luminogenic CYP substrate, Luciferin-4F12, was initially screened for activity in the luminescent assay format against 21 recombinant human CYP enzymes (Figure 1). Under the conditions used in Figure 1, we observed prominent activity with CYP4F12 and a relatively minor reactivity with CYP3A7.
The anticipated reaction scheme with Luciferin-4F12 (I) is shown at the top. Luminescence generated by LDR depends on the conversion of I to luciferin (II). For control samples, CYP enzyme was replaced with microsomes devoid of CYP activity from the insect cell CYP expression system. Fifty microliter reactions with 50µM Luciferin-4F12 and 20nM recombinant human CYP enzymes in 96-well plates were incubated for 30 minutes at 37°C. Values are mean ± SD, n = 3.
Time Dependence
A linear time-dependent increase in luminescence reflecting luciferin accumulation was observed at room temperature (21°C) and 37°C for up to 60 minutes (Figure 2).
Time-dependent changes in net luminescence were monitored at room temperature (21°C) and 37°C. Fifty microliter reactions were performed in 96-well plates with 10µM Luciferin-4F12 and 2nM CYP4F12 in 100mM KPO4 (pH 7.4), 15mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.4). CYP reactions were initiated by staggered addition of the NADPH Regeneration System. All CYP reactions were simultaneously terminated and luciferase reactions initiated by adding 50µl of LDR. Zero-time values were measured in samples where the NADPH Regeneration System was withheld until after LDR addition. Background luminescence from control samples with no CYP enzyme (mean background = 1711 RLU at 21°C or 1636 RLU at 37°C) was subtracted to give the net luminescence values shown (mean ± SD, n = 3).
Substrate Concentration
CYP4F12 activity increased in a dose-dependent manner up to a maximum at 25µM Luciferin-4F12 (Figure 3). A decrease in activity was observed at higher concentrations (data not shown); however, the data did not conform well to a substrate inhibition model (10)
. Since a nonspecific effect (e.g., substrate insolubility) at high concentrations could not be ruled out, the data up to 25µM was fit to a standard hyperbolic function that estimates an apparent Km of 10µM.
Reactions with 2nM CYP4F12 and 100mM KPO4 (pH 7.4) were incubated for 10 minutes at 37°C. The curve fit and Km calculation were done using GraphPad Prism® software. Background luminescence from control samples with no CYP enzyme at each substrate concentration was subtracted to give the net luminescence values shown (mean ± SD, n = 3).
CYP4F12 Inhibition
The CYP4F12 assay with 2nM CYP4F12 was tested as a tool for measuring CYP4F12 inhibition with 10µM Luciferin-4F12, the apparent Km concentration (Figure 4). We observed dose-dependent inhibition by astemizole, a CYP4F12 substrate acting as a competitive inhibitor of the CYP4F12 reaction with Luciferin-4F12 (3)
Using 2nM CYP4F12, enzyme inhibition was assayed using 10µM Luciferin-4F12 in the presence of astemizole at the indicated concentrations. The astemizole was diluted from a 20mM stock solution in DMSO, and the amount of this vehicle was kept constant at 0.1% in all reactions. Reactions were incubated at 37°C for 10 minutes before adding LDR. Background luminescence from control samples with no CYP enzyme (mean background = 693 RLU) was subtracted to give the net luminescence values shown (mean ± SD, n = 3).
Luciferin-4F12, a novel luciferin derivative, is a luminogenic cytochrome P450 substrate with a high degree of selectivity for CYP4F12. Using Luciferin-4F12 with the luminogenic CYP enzyme assay approach harnesses the exquisite sensitivity, selectivity and simplicity of bioluminescence. This provides for simple, rapid, multiwell plate-based CYP4F12 enzyme assays.

TREND MILL | No-chip manicures
IN THE UK, Creative Nail Design (well done, CND) seem to have cornered the market (or at least the column inches) for this new trend with their Shellac system. But, as you might have guessed from the previous sentence, they are simply one of many players in a larger production that is called the no-chip manicure.
Since the beginning of 2010, no-chip manicure signs have been cropping up in the front windows of nail salons across America. From California to New York (and, yes, I have seen them in both places with mein own eyes), the grubbiest to the poshest places are now offering to give you a glossy, professional manicure that lasts longer than many relationships. That would be two weeks.
So, let's break it down for you, shall we? The who, what where, why and when of it all.

If you were to do any artistic performance for people what would it be? If you also wrote it what would it be about?
Would you do standup comedy? Sing? What might you write jokes about, or songs about? Or act? What might you write a scene about?
Mar 14 2013: Interesting question Greg, which may bring out the creative artistic persona of tedsters:>)
I performed on stage, from the time I won a talent contest singing, at age 9. I sang in weddings, funerals, choirs, school and community theater productions, etc., throughout my school years, and then went on to act, sing, dance in professional musical theater as an adult. Although I still sing in choirs now and then, I think the "performance" stage of my life has ended.....although ya never know!
That being said, your topic reminds me of a GREAT project started by a high school theater director, and it became so successful, it was taken "on the road" and subsequently played out in several schools. The students, wrote and performed short one act plays about challenges they faced....drug use, alcohalism, mental challenges, bullying, abuse and violence in the home, eating disorders....etc. etc. After the performance, there was a discussion about the content of the play.
So, I guess if I were to be involved with performing again, or writing, that is the kind of project I would like to participate in. It's a great opportunity for the writers, performers and audience to address the issues that face all of us in our world.

Mar 1 2013: Okay tell us some of the funny things that happen in a typical day.
What do you write poetry about, tell us some more about your poetry, what style, length, etc.? Do you ever read your poetry in a public forum? Here in Los Angeles I have attended a number of poetry readings, one I went to was held in a laundromat! People washed their clothes while poets read. I also went to one that was held on a train, we took the train down to the Watts Towers and people read aloud on the car whilst traveling, yes some passengers were not part of our group, hope they enjoyed the poetry!
Please see above about "open mikes." Do you have them down under?
Comment deleted
Mar 10 2013: well, it's up to you. My experience is that if you "give it away," share your thoughts out, new, interesting thoughts come in to fill their place. Maybe you can write it funnier than you think, also. There are some funny writers, I remember my dad was a big fan of Erma Bombeck, a columnist here in the states. If you write it and it doesn't read that funny,don't worry, I'll enjoy it anyway.
Do you wish you could do art in public, or does it not matter to you? I find performing in any way very gratifying, I suppose I consider these TED conversations a kind of public performance. Very often here in the states I've called in to talk radio shows as an audience member and talked on the air, I suppose tens or even hundreds of thousands of people listening to my voice (some of these hosts claim even millions of listeners). That for me is a major turnon. What is the state of talk radio in Australia?

It would be and be about "invalid happiness".Feb 23 2013: Nobody will possibly invite me or pay for my artistic performance. But if they did, I would read poetry.
I already wrote some, and they are about small moments and feelings of life in pain and joy with profound connections inside. They are private but if loved, they would travel and sit inside your hearts leaving enough space for everything in the world. They will claim nothing but serendipity.
Feb 26 2013: Pabitra, here in the United States, we have "open mikes," mikes meaning microphones, for example in coffeehouses, people sign up in advance and then perform whatever they wish, whether reading poetry, singing song, or other performance. They don't get paid, but they do get to perform. Apparently you don't have "open mikes" in India?
Feb 27 2013: Hi Greg! No I don't think we have 'open mikes' like you described in India. That's an interesting thing. In India there are places like Montmartre, where people gather to enjoy free and spontaneous expressions of art, like painting, singing, recital etc. But these places, despite being vibrant, are crowdy. I have never thought of performing there. I did recite poetry when I used to do theater, but that's not my own poetry either.
Mar 10 2013: Pabitra, apparently "crowdy" is bad? In what way?Mar 10 2013: In a way that it's not an audience really. Poetry requires minute attention and a crowd is not supposed to pay that.
Mar 12 2013: wonder if it could be an interesting challenge to try to get a crowd interested in poetry of small, minute moments? I'm sure it could be done if one were a good enough performer. One doesn't have to read for that long, ten minutes or so.
I think it's real gratifying to perform for an audience, that you get something you can't get any other way.Mar 14 2013: In your part of the world there is a tradition of speaking poetry and Sarah Kay's name comes to mind. Or may be Suheir Hammad. Both featured in TED. But they had an audience not a crowd. Morever, both Sarah's and Suheir's poetry are like pamphlets, powerful messages. I am very doubtful if very personal, fine and dark poetry can ever pull a crowd into an audience. Can you imagine Cohen performing in a crowd?
I remember to have performed reciting (not reading) a piece from my own poetry in theater, where I acted in a role of a convict going to be hanged next day. It was intense and very personal. But again the mood helped and it was a good audience, not a crowd.
Mar 14 2013: I bet I could do it Pabitra. Probably one would have to perform in a more dramatic, actorly way, making one's voice higher and then lower volume, taking some dramatic pauses, making dramatic eye contact then dropping one's gaze, actions that would grab the crowd's attention. As I say, there is something gratifying about performance, something you can't get anywhere else.Mar 15 2013: I am happy for you. I absolutely understand the challenge and the gratification. My wife is a professional actor and theater artist (I did theater for 10 years myself). The smell of spirit, rustle of costumes, the lines, the intensity of the emotions and the anticipation when the lights came on and the the stage was taken are all too familiar for me. I still remember the darkness that was where people waited as I was lost in theatrical space.
Mar 15 2013: Well, you understand that I was talking about how one could read intense, intellectual poetry to a boisterous crowd and keep their attention?

Write? I would write about how beautiful the "teachings" (as opposed to the divinity) of Jesus are, and how it is impossible for him to have died on a cross unless he was lying (which, I have discovered after practicing doing as he said to do, is really truth.)
Mar 10 2013: So, do you believe Jesus was advocating self-sacrifice? Are you into self-sacrifice?
What sort of piano do you play?
Gail .
Mar 10 2013: I don't believe (after researching pre-KJV texts) that Jesus died on the cross. His message was the opposite of sacrifice in any way. It was about abundance and safety through manipulation of thoughts and emotions, and in this way we bring into our realities what we want.
- +1
For example: All that you ask is answered and all that you ask for is given (not in supplication! That shuts off the creative power). This is better understood by saying: If you don't like what you have, look at what you are creating (asking for).
Jesus never spoke of sin, hell, or damnation and he never called himself the only begotten son of god - but taught that we are all equally powerful children of the same "abba" ("sugar daddy") - as an understanding of his teachings through the ancient texts makes obvious. Those parts were lost in the KJV translation (1611). His message is the same one that Quantum physics is starting to point to, and I suspect the reason why xtian churches are so angry about it.
I am certainly not into self-sacrifice. Me??? LOL. More like the opposite. LOL (longer this time) ! Why would I sacrifice when I can manifest what I want - from safety to an out-of-print book to free world travel. I will certainly not refuse to use (sacrifice) my powers just because so many either don't know that they too are powerful, or as is the case in my new neighborhood, because my neighbors believe that such activities are the equivalent of devil worship, so THEY sacrifice themselves in willful ignorance while they get angry at those like me who see charity (as it is currently understood) as being very uncharitable and christianity as something entirely different from its savior's worldview.
I have a 6' grand piano with a rich bass sound. Good for the classics, but not for rags, both of which I enjoy, so I have a built-in synthesizer that I can use for different musical sounds - from harp to honkey-tonk. (Pull a lever to prevent the hammers from hitting the strings)
Gail .
Mar 11 2013: The piano - complete with the synthesizer attached was something I "manifested". It was a gift that came only after I spent 2 weeks manifesting daily. After 2 weeks, I "knew" that it was already fulfilled but not yet in my living room. 10 days later, it was in my living room. It took longer because of the time for the dealer to install the synthesizer.Feb 22 2013: I would do this if i could sing like these guys.

A CapellaFeb 22 2013: How about Morris Border dances at farmers markets? If I knew how to paint plein-air, I would have no problem doing it in public.
Feb 22 2013: Don't know what Morris Border dances are, but offhand they sound good. What are they?
How gratifying would it be for you to do one of these activities in public? Enough that you'd learn how to do them, or perhaps you already know the dance?
Feb 23 2013: You should look for a youtube of Morris Dancing. You could look up White Ladies Ashton (the name of a Welsh flower or town, I think) or Fanny Frail.
Actually, it's more like I would do them for the fun of them rather than because performing itself would be a motivation. It is just that these art forms tend to be done in public and you asked about art performance.
Mar 2 2013: so basically there's no more fun for you in doing something in public than doing something in private? That's a little hard to believe, Fritzie, it has to change the experience to do something in public, doesn't it?Mar 2 2013: It changes the experience to do something in public, but some things many of us do for ourselves. An audience may be irrelevant or may even subtract.
Mar 10 2013: What do you think of the saying, "The more the merrier"?
Fritzie -
Mar 10 2013: I think it applies to some things and not to others. More of something is not necessarily better.
- +2
I have one dog. I don't think more would be better.
Mar 14 2013: But more of an audience? I think of TED conversations as a public performance. If you and I were sitting alone in a room talking, Fritzie, well, I don't think I'd enjoy it as much as talking to you in these public spaces. It feels good to me to think my ideas are affecting more than just you. Don't you feel the same way?
Fritzie -
Mar 14 2013: I am happy at the possibility of helping someone, or several people, think differently or more carefully about an issue that interests them.

There are other conversations I prefer to have in private.

My Welding Table Minus Dead Chicken
Here are some pictures of my main welding work table. It is 44 " x 97" x 5/8" thick, sitting on 3 x 3 x 3/8 angle frame being supported on 6-4 x 4 x 3/8 square tubing legs with a bottom shelf as you can see. It took a bobcat to bring this into my shop. My friend and I built this a few years ago. You could park your car on this table and it wouldn't budge. I will describe the pictures in order of their appearance.
The 1st picture shows 1 x 2 C channel bolted to table for railing assembly
2nd picture shows another view of same
3rd picture - notice each leg has a receiver tube for a MIG torch
4th picture - notice CNC Router machine in background that made the last picture I show here (for my neighbor who just lost a loved pet)
5th picture - notice hardy hole (spelling might be wrong) for accessories such as shrinker/stretcher shown.
6th picture- notice to the left of the shrinker/stretcher, the pair of 1 " round
welding to underneath of table surface to bend/straighten metal pickets etc.
7th picture- picture of Memorial Plaque for neighbor who lost pet made with CNC Machine in 4th picture.

One thing I seen that I thought was cool was a guy at work welded a piece of 2" angle to the side of the table. On the long side of the rectangle work table the angle was welded flush with the top and the "V" of the angle pointing down. It makes working with pipe very nice and easy! I want to add that to my current table.

I built mine middle of last year, I had a thread about it but never posted pics when done.
1/2" top, 3x3x1/8" box tube legs and frame to support the top, two wire shelves underneath, on 5" casters. I have four 2" hitch receives around the table for sticking my vise in, cheap bender, and any other tools I come up with. Since its on wheels the table will sometimes want to move, I have two dual locking casters but they aren't always much help. The 3x3 frame under the table is set back 6" so you have room to clamp around the edges. The inner section of the table is very very flat, the edges that hang over the frame are not as flat. If I did it again I would not use such heavy material, 2.5" box would probably have been fine for the top frame, and 2" for the legs. I built the table upside down on the floor and used clamps and people to pull the top flat when welding the 3x3 to it.Justin Starkey

Here's one I built 12 yrs ago out of my scrap pile.It's 13' long and 41''wide ,the beams are 24' 85# and the cross pieces are 18'' 55#.It sets on 8'' steel casters and I have 4 - 1 1/4"jack screws to level or stabilize it.If I need a steel table I just set a piece of plate on it.I built it as a base for building truck bodies and salt spreaders at work and worked out so well the boss wouldn't let me bring it home until I built another one for the shop.It also works good for straightening bent snow plows .

Now thats some big I-beams. Don't think we could tear that up. I bet it doesn't move when your bending something. Heavy is good in a workbench/tableScott

It's Not Your Father's Revolution: Gladwell Gets an Online EarfulTuesday, October 5th, 2010
Last week the interwebs [read sarcasm] burned up with chatter about Malcolm Gladwell's New Yorker article "Small Change: Why the revolution will not be tweeted."
Gladwell sets the stage for his argument by first recounting the story of four young men who sat down at a Woolworth's lunch counter and asked for a cup of coffee. If this story sounds familiar, it should. It's the famous Greensboro sit-in that became part of a growing Civil Rights movement to desegregate the south. Gladwell continues that this sit-in and the movement it was a part of took place without the aid of Twitter or Facebook.
"…we seem to have forgotten what activism is."
Gladwell spends the rest of the article trying to deflate the importance of social media in contemporary activism. He asserts that strong ties are necessary for activism and social media is not about strong ties, but rather weak ties.
"The platforms of social media are built around weak ties. Twitter is a way of following (or being followed by) people you may never have met. Facebook is a tool for efficiently managing your acquaintances, for keeping up with the people you would not otherwise be able to stay in touch with. That's why you can have a thousand 'friends' on Facebook, as you never could in real life."
So essentially, Gladwell is arguing that social media isn't capable of sustaining "real activism."
This is where the cadre of nonprofit social media bloggers, tweeters and gurus take him to task.
Allison Fine, co-author of the Networked Nonprofit, begins her response by challenging Gladwell's definition of activism:
"More than misunderstanding the role and power of social media, what I found most disturbing and disappointing about the article was that Gladwell doesn't understand activism. Activism has come to represent a wide continuum of efforts, voluntary and professional…cannot all fit neatly under one umbrella. The term activism has come to include society changing social movements, political advocacy, and acts of loving kindness, like giving clothes or food to people in need. Gladwell lumps all activism into the social movement category.
Social movement are intense, long-term efforts developed by a core of people and then spread widely because of the moral indignation that galvanizes them…And that's it, all of the other "movements" since have been advocacy or awareness campaigns (think climate change, recycling, drunk driving, breast cancer) to raise money or change public policy. or direct service efforts like feeding the hungry. They amount to a series of campaigns with very specific, intended outcomes. They are not social movements.
I think that's a good point. Trying to define all activism as having a specific type of outcome is too restrictive and doesn't recognize the different types of social change activists are striving for.
And on the topic of strong ties vs. weak ties, Lina Srivastava had this to say:
"The way a campaign engages empathizers, influencers and activists– whether based on what Gladwell notes as weak or strong ties– is really more a matter of strategy– issue identification, context, methodology, desired action, outcome, etc. Use and application of digital tools is a tactical concern– important, but not the endpoint. And so Gladwell creates a false distinction when he claims it is the nature of the tool that creates strong or weak ties. I would argue it's the content and the context that determines and strengthen ties. The medium is not the message here."
Beth Kanter agrees, it's not the tool that creates weak ties, "stories or people do."
But aside from arguing how to define activism or what creates a strong tie—I have to wonder, why does Gladwell think activism exists in a vacuum? That how it's executed can't evolve?
Clearly we can all agree that how we communicate has greatly evolved since the 1960s thanks to cell phones, the internet and yes…social media.
Tech blogger Anil Dash explains:
The problem with Gladwell's premise, though, is that it's wildly anachronistic to think that the only way to effect social change is to assemble a sign-wielding mob to inhabit a public space…People who want to see marches in the streets are often unwilling to admit that those marches just don't produce much in the way of results in America in 2010.
However: There are revolutions, actual political and legal revolutions, that are being led online. They're just happening in new ways, and taking subtle forms unrecognizable to those who still want a revolution to look like they did in 1965.
Want a good example of contemporary activism using social media? Just last week I blogged about 350.org's world-wide day of protest.
Take a look at those images from around the world and then tell me that social media isn't capable of sustaining "real activism" (whatever that means) or that "we've forgotten what activism is."
No, I think the point is, activism isn't in a static state. It's evolving. Like the activists themselves. And to try and discredit the tools used by contemporary activists just because their efforts look different from past activism, is a little like requiring the present to live in the past. And if I recall, the whole idea behind many of the great social movements that Gladwell referenced was that the past was holding us back as a society, that society needed to change.

How to Recover From a Back Injury
Back pain is something you don't want to repeat. Recovering properly from a back injury and taking preventive measures can help you reduce your risk of going through it again.
Note your symptoms
Minor back pain often resolves itself within a few days to a few weeks. If your pain persists, however, talk to an orthopedic surgeon or your family doctor. He or she will examine you, note how your body moves, and take a medical history.
Make sure you mention all your symptoms to your doctor, such as whether a fever or nausea accompanied your back pain, if you have pain down your leg, weakness or loss of bowel or bladder. The pain may be secondary to another condition.
Many back problems are caused by a muscle pull or strain. The usual treatment includes taking pain relievers and/or muscle relaxants and, perhaps, limiting certain activities until the muscle heals.
Consider your options
For more serious back injuries, such as a herniated or ruptured disk or a pinched nerve, surgery may be necessary.
But, surprisingly, most disk injuries heal themselves without surgery. The only reason to have emergency back surgery is when the pain is accompanied by severe or progressive motor weakness or involves bowel or bladder problems. In these cases, it's crucial to relieve pressure from the nerves in order to retain their function.
If your pain is severe and persistent, your doctor may suggest diagnostic tests, such as an MRI or CT scan.
Recover carefully
If you have surgery, your recovery regimen begins with wound healing, which takes about two weeks. During that time, you need to be careful. After that, ask your doctor about beginning a progressive walking program to promote muscle strength.
Walk short distances initially and make sure you don't walk so far you can't get home safely if you get tired. As your strength increases, your doctor or physical therapist will suggest you supplement your walks with gentle back exercises.
Talk to your doctor if intense pain recurs. When a disk is removed, pieces of it may remain in the back and cause problems. For the first couple of months after surgery, it's important not to lift, twist or bend, all of which could re-injure your back.
Back to exercise
The best predictor for future back pain is previous back pain — so once you're on the road to recovery, the best way to ensure a healthy back is to approach activity sensibly. Lead a healthy lifestyle, including exercise, proper lifting techniques, healthy weight, avoid smoking, and proper posture.

Bowser has once again kidnapped Princess Peach, but besides rescuing his lady love, this time Mario has another objective. The Mushroom Kingdom is bursting with more gold coins than ever before. Each level is littered with gold as coins rain down from overhead pipes, trails of coins are left behind special gold enemies and gold pipes transport Mario into coin-filled caverns. It's up to players to collect as many coins as possible throughout their adventure.
New Super Mario Bros. 2 allows players to share the fast-paced fun with a friend over a local wireless network. The game's 2-player co-op mode requires both players to have a Nintendo 3DS system and a copy of the game. Together players can play through the entire game, collect double the coins, team up to unleash devastating double Ground Pound attacks on enemies, and more. An extra player can even help when continuing from your solo play save file.
Coin collection is important in every adventure in the Mushroom Kingdom, but New Super Mario Bros. 2 takes this to new heights. The game is filled with more coins and gold-related features than any Mario game before, and includes the frenzied Coin Rush mode in which you play three levels back to back trying to earn as many coins as possible. In fact, the game literally holds more than a million possible coins, and keeps track of each for you as you proceed from beginning to end. SpotPass functionality built into the 3DS allows you to share your running total with friends. If you reach a million coins, you'll get something special.

Student entrepreneurs presented their business plans before a panel of local investors to obtain funding for their enterprises at the Young Entrepreneur Academy Investor Panel on Wednesday, April 15 at Orlando Science Center.
Fifteen middle and high school students had six minutes to pitch their concepts. Based on the appeal and merit of the students' plans and presentations, representatives from companies like Bright House Networks, EA SPORTS and Engineering and Computer Simulations determined the amount of funds to allocate to each.
The participating investors also selected Bridget Sullivan of Americamo to advance to the Young Entrepreneurs Academy Saunders Scholars National College Scholarship competition, where she will compete for hundreds of thousands of dollars in college scholarships, a fast-track application pass to apply for ABC's "Shark Tank," and an all-expenses paid trip to attend America's Small Business Summit in Washington, D.C. courtesy of the United States Chamber of Commerce.

New jobs at planned waste recycling factory near Carlisle
Last updated at 15:02, Tuesday, 09 December 2008
Waste company Shanks has unveiled its plans for a £20m plant near Carlisle to process household rubbish from across north Cumbria.
The facility at Hespin Wood, five miles north of the city, will receive 75,000 tonnes of waste each year.
This rubbish will be dried, sorted and recycled or turned into a fuel, dramatically reducing the amount that has to be buried in landfill sites.
Shanks Waste Management's planning application shows a treatment plant, two weighbridges, a two-storey admin block, a recycling storage building and car park.
The scheme should create 23 jobs and employ another 40 people during construction.
Once operational in 2012, the plant would attract an average of 40 heavy lorry movements each day.
All these vehicles would use the so-called "all-purpose route" parallel to the new M6 extension and not minor roads through Rockcliffe.
The plant would normally operate between 8am and 6pm Mondays to Fridays.
However, Shanks says it could function outside these times at busy periods.
The planning application also spells out in detail the treatment process.
Waste is brought in via a reception pit, then shredded and sent to a drying hall.
Drying, at a temperature of 50-60C, takes up to 15 days. Air is drawn through the waste through vents in the floor. As the waste dries, it shrinks in size by up to a quarter.
A biological filter should remove foul smells.
The dried waste is then sifted to remove recyclable items such as glass and metals and a residue that can be burned as fuel in cement kilns.
Only between eight and 15 per cent of the waste is "rejected" and has to be buried.
Shanks says it has already consulted 750 people who live within 3km of the site plus other "stakeholders" such as parish councils and Natural England.
It hopes that Cumbria County Council will grant planning consent next year.
A second treatment plant will be built near Barrow to serve south Cumbria.
Both form part of a £700m 25-year deal with the county council that aims to revolutionise the way household waste in is disposed of.
It should save the council £2m a year in landfill tax plus up to £5.2m a year in fines.

Have your say
Obviously we are in no position to speak for either Cumbria County Council or Dumfries and Galloway Council, but as you said this solution is designed to back up the Council's kerbside recycling programme. In terms of recycling the plants will recover the fraction that isn't recycled at kerbside, but primarily the resource parks will divert waste away from landfill.
If you could email firstname.lastname@example.com I would be more than happy to pass on your concerns to the Council and to answer your questions/concerns in more detail.
Thanks for the info - I thought the stuff was burnt on site. Call me cynical but I can see the council in a few years scrapping kerb side segregation which produces well sorted materials for recycling. I've looked at the shanks site which explains exactly what happens and it does get dispose of material that would otherwise go to land fill - but it cant recover stuff to anywhere near the same quality as 'pre bin sorting.' Dumfries & galloway council already use this system - and are stopping kerbside collecting paper for recyling in 2010 - after that it will be burnt.

I figured I'd make this thread here in the main forum to begin with, and then the mods can move it in the draft forum whenever they're ready.
A lot of people ask the question about Tannehill's leadership and command of the huddle. I'll say this... if you're looking for the type of quarterback who plays on the edge, barks at receivers, and displays leadership skills visibly, he's not that type of player.
He's very intelligent, respected by teammates and coaches, extremely disciplined, and has impeccable character. There are no red flags here whatsoever.
Mechanically, he needs some tweaking with his throwing arm. He has to get that throwing elbow up to where it's consistently at shoulder level. He gets a significant amout of passes batted down at the LOS because of it. More than you want to see. The other half of that is not staring down his intended target once he has to come off his initial progression. Defensive lineman are coached to get their hands up when they see you lock on, especially if they know they can't get to you. Manipulating passing lanes is one of the finer details of playing the position that comes with experience, which Tannehill doesn't have much of.
This throwing elbow drops even lower when he throws on the run, although it's obviously not as detrimental when there's green grass in front of you as opposed to 3 or 4 defensive linemen in your face. He throws well on the run despite this because he always makes sure his shoulders are square to the target before he turns it loose. This is a fundamental key for WCO quarterbacks who execute numerous sprint outs, bootlegs, and waggles.
He has the footwork of the various drops required of him ingrained. The 3 and 5 quick, 3 and 5 with a hitch, Drift Drop, etc.... he executes them all with efficient footwork. Keeps his head level and spine angle neutral during his drops from under center. This is probably his biggest plus in my opinion, and the reason he developed into a legitimate quarterback prospect as soon as he did after playing wide receiver.
The only issue I see with his footwork is when he has to come off his initial progression and move to #2 or #3. He doesn't always reset his feet, and this is where his accuracy suffers most.
Pocket presence. He has it. If he didn't, he wouldn't even be on my draft board. Period. Does a good job of keeping his eye level up while looking to extend plays with his feet. However, he doesn't really show the ability to squirt out of danger. If a defender gets a hand on him, he goes down easily. This is his game manager mentality that he developed as a Senior that he didn't have as a Junior, which I'll touch on later.
His worst tendancy in the pocket is to always drift straight backwards and throw off his back foot when pressure is in his face. Just looks completely unprepared for it most of the time.
Tannehill throws with good anticipation when he's required to get the ball out to his initial read the instant his back foot hits on a quick read when he knows he has single coverage on the outside. Most quarterbacks can anticipate these types of throws. Where he gets into trouble is when his initial progression isn't there and he has to come off of it, which I mentioned earlier. His anticipation drops in quality here because he's still not comfortable reading a defender's intent yet. It causes him to be late on a LOT of throws, and it's usually where he makes his biggest mistakes.
I've mentioned before several times that I thought he played better as a Junior than he did this year. He was much more impressive leading that Aggie team last year which is why I felt like he had 1st round potential. However, he looked more tentative as a Senior. He mentioned at his pro day that this was one of the the primary things he and Chris Weinke were working on - changing his tendancy to overthink and just trust his trigger. Let it go.
Rather than take over games like he did as a Junior, he seemed content as a Senior to just be a piece of the puzzle. There's a significant difference between his Junior tape and Senior tape. He was putting the team on his back last year, not just managing like he did this year. He made more mistakes, but he made them being aggressive and decisive. This year he made those mistakes being hesitant and undecisive. He wasn't as comfortable taking the game on his shoulders, and plenty of mental mistakes show up in his situational understanding of game. The drive to close the first half against Oklahoma that I pointed out a while back is one of the best examples of this.
The bottom line is, if he plays in the NFL like he did as a Senior, I have a hard time seeing him as anything more than a game manager... who folds up in crunch time, like he did this year.
There's plenty to like about him, but not in the top 10. He's not a franchise quarterback.
If it's me, I'm taking an elite player with that pick and not apologizing for doing it.

Interpretive Handbook
8106 :
Glomerular Basement Membrane Antibodies, IgG, Serum
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Antibodies to glomerular basement membrane (GBM) antigens cause glomerulonephritis, Goodpasture syndrome (glomerulonephritis, often with rapid onset renal failure, and pulmonary hemorrhage), and, less commonly, pulmonary hemosiderosis.(1) Nephrogenic GBM antigens are associated with the noncollagenous carboxyl extension of type IV procollagen. The immunologic stimuli that elicit production of GBM antibodies are not known. There is some evidence of a genetic association with HLA-DR2.
GBM antibody-mediated glomerulonephritis and Goodpasture syndrome occur with a bimodal age distribution primarily in males ages 20 to 40 and in patients older than age 50. Glomerulonephritis without pulmonary involvement is more common in the older age group, and shows a female predominance.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Evaluating patients with rapid onset renal failure or pulmonary hemorrhage, as an aid in the diagnosis of Goodpasture syndrome
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Positive results are consistent with Goodpasture syndrome. Glomerular basement membrane antibodies detected by immunoassay have been reported to be highly specific for Goodpasture syndrome. The sensitivity of this test approaches 87% in untreated patients with systemic disease.(1)
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
A positive test for glomerular basement membrane (GBM) antibodies cannot be relied upon exclusively to establish the diagnosis of a disease mediated by GBM antibodies. Weakly-positive test results may occur in other immune-mediated diseases, and renal or lung biopsy is often required to establish the diagnosis.
If patient is being evaluated for autoimmune skin disease, order CIFS / Cutaneous Immunofluorescence Antibodies (IgG), Serum for evaluation of anti-intercellular substance (ICS) and antibasement membrane zone (BMZ) antibodies.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
<1.0 U (negative)
> or =1.0 U (positive)
Reference values apply to all ages.
Clinical References Provides recommendations for further in-depth reading of a clinical nature

Best Uses
Sometimes, just taking a nap, or just sitting in her wheelchair, my wife needs a little something extra to feel warm. The blanket is just right for those needs, and is large enough for the bed or her chair.
Best Uses
These are great. Same warm, soft fabric as the sweats. Shrinks lengthwise when washed -- but so did the sweat pants. Now my sweat pants need a couple inch extension to cover my ankles ;(. We had some freezing weather shortly after I got the blankets, and I put them over our quilt. Was just enough to keep us cozy and warm without having to turn up the heater.

I've been looking for a throw in that's large enough and covers my feet. This is it...
Best Uses
Item fills a niche between a sheet and a regular blanket. Fleece side is very comfortable against bare skin. Could be used as a tuck-in sheet on a Twin bed or a throw on a larger size (Full, Queen, or King). Good for an indoor or summer outdoor wrap, but probably too light for anything below 50 degrees or so. Two (with one above and one below and both fleece sides against the body) makes a great little sleep or nap package on the couch, etc. Well made, should give years of service.

Home > For Patients & Families > Kids Health Library
Febrile seizures are convulsions that can happen during a fever (febrile means "feverish"). They affect kids 6 months to 5 years old, and are most common in toddlers 12-18 months old. The seizures usually last for a few minutes and are accompanied by a fever above 100.4°F (38°C).
While they can be frightening, febrile seizures usually end without treatment and don't cause any other health problems. Having one doesn't mean that a child will have epilepsy or brain damage.
During a febrile seizure, a child's whole body may convulse, shake, and twitch, eyes may roll, and he or she may moan or become unconscious. This type of seizure is usually over in a few minutes, but in rare cases can last up to 15 minutes.
Febrile seizures stop on their own, while the fever continues until it is treated. Some kids might feel sleepy afterwards; others feel no lingering effects.
No one knows why febrile seizures occur, although evidence suggests that they're linked to certain viruses. Kids with a family history of febrile seizures are more likely to have one, and about 35% of kids who have had one seizure will experience another (usually within the first 1-2 years of the first). Kids who are younger (under 15 months) when they have their first febrile seizure are also at higher risk for a future febrile seizure. Most children outgrow having febrile seizures by the time they are 5 years old.
Febrile seizures are not considered epilepsy, and kids who've had a febrile seizure only have a slightly increased risk for developing epilepsy compared to the general population.
If your child has a febrile seizure, stay calm and:
It's also important to know what you should not do during a febrile seizure:
If your child is vomiting or has a lot of saliva coming from the mouth turn their head to the side to prevent choking.
When the seizure is over, call your doctor for an evaluation to determine the cause of the fever. The doctor will examine your child and ask you to describe the seizure. In most cases, no additional treatment is necessary. The doctor may recommend the standard treatment for fevers, which is acetaminophen or ibuprofen. But if your child is under 1 year old, looks very ill, or has other symptoms such as diarrhea or vomiting, the doctor may recommend some testing.
Get help right away from a health care provider if:
Febrile seizures can be scary to witness but remember that they're fairly common, are not usually a symptom of serious illness, and in most cases don't lead to other health problems. If you have any questions or concerns, talk with your doctor.

Sergio Perez reckons he should be able to get his Sauber C31 into the final pole position shoot-out in Abu Dhabi come Saturday.
The Mexican driver had a solid start to his weekend at the Yas Marina circuit, finishing Friday's twilight session under lights in tenth place.
Perez, who is on his way to McLaren next season, posted a best time of 1:43.106, which was 1.355s down on Sebastian Vettel's P1 time.
"For me it was a good day," he declared.
"We have completed our entire planned programme, so in this respect it was very positive.
"I am comfortable with the balance of the car and, therefore, I think my position in the second session is pretty much what we are capable of here.
"This means Q3 is possible."
But while Perez was confident, his team-mate Kamui Kobayashi was not as he could only manage the 16th best time, 1.938s off the pace.
"I definitely have to work and improve the balance of the car," said the Japanese driver. "At the moment it isn't right in any regard, but it is only day one in Abu Dhabi.
"The track's grip normally improves a lot here, which might also help.
"Today I didn't really manage to get the tyres to work. However, on long runs I don't see any issues with either the soft or medium compounds in terms of degradation."

Piccolo has come a long way since her rescue from a hoarding situation by the ASPCA. After joining Siheun S. in her family's country home, Piccolo has finally had the chance to experience life with a loving forever family. Siheun shared the following story with us:
Piccolo was adopted in September and is living with our family in North Stamford, Connecticut. I had been fostering another cat, but his pet parent came back to the country and reclaimed him. So, Piccolo was adopted to join our family in his place!
I adopted Piccolo at the ASPCA Adoption Center because I have great faith in your organization—and it was my first adoption from ASPCA! In particular, I chose to adopt Piccolo because I was touched by how she head-butted me during my first visit to the Adoption Center.
I thought Piccolo would need some time to get accustomed to her new surroundings, but she is curious, fearless and loves meeting new people. She also loves cuddling and tries to sleep on top of me at night.
Piccolo looks pretty calm and serene in pictures, but she is actually quite energetic and doesn't sit still for too long. She also loves biting my ankles and chasing after people to follow them around the house; you have to be careful not to trip on her.
I wonder how her personality will develop as she matures!
