nice hotel, frienly staff, nice swimming pool and jacuzzi nothing
I like everything as i wrote the last time i stayed there. I would also like to add that this time their breakfast was even better. Excellent choice for someone to stay there. No
Very nice hotel, good location and car parking. Sauna department was good, only problem was that only one sauna was warm. Hotel personel was not that friendly, sauna was not on and it was not informed that you should ask that beforehand. My main target was to get sauna, it was big disappointment when I cannot manage.
convenience for walking in the area the first room we were offered was far too small and needed to up grade to a 2 room suite - 2nd toilet was a bonus!
The hotel is really nice, staff friendly, swimming pool with sauna also very good. The food in the restaurant is tasty and the choice is fine. The rooms are clean. The restaurant during Sunday's breakfast was a little overcrowded and we couldn't find the place to eat. On Monday everything was ok.
The staff were wonderful and very accomodating. They helped us to feel at home and were there for us while we recovered from jet lag and even when we broke a tooth. The food was great and we would love to come back. We also loved the spa and it's staff.
i can't understand why the hotel take 18 e for parking inside the countryard of it. if you pay 330 pln you shoud get the parging as a service and not spiecel payment
Friendly staff, fantastic wellness facilities, delicious cuisine, free guarded car park Slow and not very professional service at the restaurant
The view from the window was beautiful. Room was very clean and nice. Also we enjoyed swimming pool, not big but quite ok. Responsible person for jakuzzi was making massage and you have to wait for half an hour. We tried to wait but nobody appeared! So unfortunately gave up. Additionally, no guard for the swimming pool.
good location,polite and efficient staff
excelent cuisine
The courtesy of the staff. Stylish decor. Cleanliness of the room and the functionality of the bathroom. For a small boutique hotel, everything worthy of five star hotel in terms restaurant quality (excellent particularly the dinner menu!), service and facilities. Good Polish breakfast. I only wished our room had a hair dryer.
In the town centre on a very good location.
place near park it was to cold, to low heating for this time of year
Nice hotel, new & clean, nice decoration and layout. The service was poor (facilities were good). For the price of this hotel in Poland the service should be so much better - the room key did not work, reservations for meals were all incorrect, checking out was a long process due to a lack of itemised billing. The hotel does not have the customer as its key focus - everything looks good but without the customer service it is pointless. I will not re
a very comfortable room and in a central location- good parking too
Comfortable rooms and a good buffet breakfast in the morning. Mini bar refrigerator, but empty and no glasses. No tea or coffee making facilities in the room. Restaurant very expensive when prices are compared to the local restaurants in the town.
The rooms were lovely and the staff were very friendly. Very pleasent stay. The wifi did not work very well and there is no safe.
location,parking no airconditioning, small window, 3rd floor room with no elevator,
friendly, helpful staff. Excellent breakfast, including scrambled eggs individually cooked on request.
Nice reception by friendly personnel,clean room,nice atmosphere and nice to our dog.Excellent breakfast. Relatively small choice on the menu.In comparison with surrounding restaurants too expensive.

MÖTLEY CRÜE singer Vince Neil engaged in a war of words with some of his followers on Twitter after his call for new gun-control measures was met with resistance.
Following the mass shooting at a Connecticut elementary school on Friday which resulted in the deaths of twenty-eight people, including 20 schoolchildren, Vince tweeted, "Sad day today. Prayers to all the families. Gun Control!!!" A number of people responded unfavorably to Vince's comment, causing the singer to lash out: "Why is everyone so concerned with guns? What about the CHILDREN that were MURDERED today! Get your priorities straight!! Come on people!!" He continued: "I did say gun control but I didn't think 90% of you would care more about your gun than dead children!!! "FUCK YOU to EVERYONE who puts guns in front of kids!! Do not come to ANY shows! You are sick!!" Friday's massacre in Newtown is the second-deadliest school shooting in U.S. history, behind the 2007 Virginia Tech mass shooting that left 32 dead. Vince has two children, Elizabeth Ashley, 29, and Neil Wharton, 34. He has also a grandfather to Neil Wharton's son Trace, 1. Vince's daughter Skylar Neil tragically died of cancer at the age of 4 in 1995.MÖTLEY CRÜE Singer Blasts 'Sick' Twitter Followers Who 'Put Guns In Front Of Kids'

Write songs about your moustache, poems for your moustache and sketches of your moustache in this journal.
For the styling Mo Bro, this hat is the ultimate accessory. Not only does is it good-looking and sun-smart, it also has a (scientifically unproven) ability to make your moustache look bushier, shinier and 400% more eye-catching. All that from a hat!
If you collected headwear from all over the world into one vat and added a dash of style and moustache, this is what would emerge: the ultimate in simplicity and refinement. An instant classic, our new Mo Fo cap is a hat for the ages.
The trucker cap's origins go back to that of the trucker moustache. Deep down south and out on the open road. The cap was also an important component of the thinker. A thinking man would often be described as wearing a cap, hence the term "I will put my thinking cap on".

By Bob Morris
Richard Grossman is an acupuncturist in Santa Monica CA, who has, for some time now, been exploring the transformational and healing properties of music and sound. What he does is really quite extraordinary. Using indigenous instruments and the like, he performs once a month in the back of a store in Topanga, creating amazing shamanistic soundscapes. This isn't New Age; it's something way more intense and powerful than that. Think Steve Roach. These are the realms Richard is exploring.
He has this gong. Hand-crafted in Germany I believe. But, it's more than a gong. Oh yes, he starts out doing a traditional gong sound. Then he strokes the surface of the gong and higher pitched vibrato sounds emerge and begin melding, merging, and playing off against the deep low gongs. It becomes louder, more intense; suddenly there's many more higher voices and lower tones, while the power and force of the sound continues building.
It just puts me Someplace Else. I find it transformational, and afterwards, am more centered, with new ideas and paths to follow.
These soundscapes go on for an hour or so, starting slowly with indigenous instruments, before moving into the gong, and Richard seems as amazed as anyone by the sounds that emerge from it. When it's over, you find yourself staring at the gong thinking maybe Portals really do exist.

Funny how quickly prioritys changes
Just 6-7 months ago lifting was my life as it had been for well over 3 years. Everythng revolved around it.
But sometime during the summer and fall especialy when I picked upp my university studies again it got all turned uppside down. Now lifting is like one of my lowest prioritys(I still love it and feel that its important but not crucial)and I fully realised that in the grand scheme of things muscle aint all that important realy. Just fun.
When did you come to the point that lifting lost is crucial importance if you ever had megarexia and the muscle obsession and what caused that change.
Not saying btw that there is anything wrong with beeing totaly dedicated to lifting.
well I have lost every girl I dated because of it.. Lost friends due to not being able to spend time.. Lost respect from family and church members.. I have just started seeing a new girl, shes awsome, and I intend to not let it happen again!!!
Johan, stop being such a pussy and get in the gym
about 3 months ago i realized the same, tore a tendon in my left shoulder....so basically, heavy shit, im done with....i have a good base and im more looking for a lean healthy look now
lol giantz remember I take you to school in the deadlift(plz dont mention your squat )
Knowledge = Power
yeah johan...
get the hell in the gym...
nah im still an addict.........

i'll neve quit it's my first love, i mean how could you really give up i know guys that work 12hr days and still hit the weight 5-6 days a week, IMO it's either sink or swim, i have never lost a girl/frieds due to lifting i tell the chicks i date that if you interfear with my workouts then it's goona be a problem, and mojority of my friends lift so no problem there, and the only thing my family dont like is that im always eating clean so i never eat with them, i say it's my life and im gonna do what i wanna do, you gotta find time to do the things you love..

10-20-2005, 05:40 PM #13Originally Posted by steve0
yeah I didnt mean I would quit. Just like previously lifting was THE most important thing in my life. Now its just a fun thing in my life that no longer gets to dictate how I live to the extend it used to do before.
Yeah I was only big on lifting when I wanted to get rid of my drug depleted body. After I filled out a bit (but still a far cry from being big) I wasn't as obsessed. Now lifting is really a very small part of my life. I still do it every other day, and I still love learning about diet, new training possibilities, and aas but it doesn't control my life. My life revolves around much more than lifting.
That's just the way I see things, I love helping people with what I know and have experienced as I love learning from those with more knowledge and who have experienced more than I. The biggest thing that lifting does for my life is give me an easy outlet to release stress. If it's been a rough day, I go to the gym and an hour later feel great. That's the major role it plays for me. I have no aspirations to be really big or even to be considered a big guy. No ambition to compete, no desire to be the mammoth that everyone has to walk around. But still I have no problem with the people who choose to be that way, we each choose our own paths in life, and frequently those paths take turns we never anticipated, but that's life and part of what makes it great.
you have a nice way of putting things symatech
yea same here...i lost a lot of ambition when i got injured. I do still go to the gym 2x a day but its not the same. before i wanted to be the biggest and strongest and was pretty intense in the gym. now im more wanting to get in shape to be a "specimen" for myself for personal training and opening my gym. people need visuals, and if you are fat and weak, they assume you arent a good pt or you're lazy and dont follow what you teach, so why should they follow what you teach. and you know, its funny, people see that you have visible abs and they think you are an encyclopedia of teaching knowledge. so im working on becoming an encyclopedia...*smile*
could be too we are getting older and our test is lowering... so we dont have that drive. man, that sucks.
I have realized lately my prioritys r fvcked up. I spend WAY too much time here..im addicted as hell..as a lot of you know. My diet isnt even that great. My grades suck. Pretty much I need to start making better grades and spend less time here..but who am I kidding this is far too addicting. All I do is whore one forum..then jump to another and do the same.
you're right johan there are far more important things in life than lifting weights... like ho's, money, and expensive cars.
Like anyone else here I was juicing...haven't for a while now. My prostate started aching...so started on Proscar and decided to take a break from juicing. Next thing you know I meet the girl...get engaged and start talking family. I don't see AS being a part of my again any time soon. What's more important...being big/lean...or healthy children.
As far as working out goes...I have stopped completely. Why? Work. I focused on my career and am now caught in the fast lane...I have my signal light on...but the traffic is keeping me in that lane. I guess with a wedding next year...I need the money. But at what price? My health? I eat crappy food on the road and I don't work out anymore. I've lost muscle and gained fat. Not healthy. I'm going to turn it around soon. I have to...for mind, body, and soul.
I think what I'm getting to is this...we all have new and different stages in our life. We all start realizing other priorities and start adjusting our lives accordingly. Are we wrong for doing so? I don't think so. Some of us go back to what we know...some of us never do. Some of us look to the past...some of us dream of the future. If you can wake up in the morning...look in the mirror and be happy...then you have made the right life choice.
Lifting will always be there...your youth and health won't. Never take them for granted. Keep in shape for your own reasons...but focus on building the mind too. Remember this.....nerds run the world...not powerlifters.

Meantime, I have a guy working for me who seldom goes to the gym, but is a genetic mutant. He eats junk, smokes like a chimney, but is huge, with about 5% bf. Really pisses me off, too . . .
I'm not gonna lie lifting was never a real priority in my life. I was very intense about it and still am but the burning desire has faded a little bit. I did it mainly to help me gain strength for my sambo competitions but to be honest I dont even like competing anymore. i did it for so long it just bores me now and costs a ton of money and really isnt worth the time and effort I put into it. It's time for me to get career oriented and get my head on straight and think about the future and leave the kiddy shit in the past. If working out ever hampered the success in my life I would drop it in a heartbeat. My first love is my life and where it's going and if I have to leave lifting to push forward in my life at a faster pace then so be it.

lifting seems to be the priority for me only when there is no exam i need to be crammin for. i try the stayin at home thing but then i always feel im missin out on LIFE and experiences and stuff. but i know guys who get shit faced every night who maintain a better gpa than mine just because they dont worry about getting in their meals or mising a work out they just have time to study.

ive never looked at it as something i had to do, just something i love.. honeslty the last year ive been burnt out tho.. im startin to get back into it.. after a good friend of mine MWC passed away, i started gettin mentally beat up by myself about why am i doing this to my body and so on, but now i am gettin back to where i used to be
lol id say im obsessed!
I have been told many times that I work out too much and don't make other things my top priority. This may have been very true in the past but being away at college taught me to get my butt in gear. I'd rather study and work out and not be Mr. Popular, but thats just me. Sometimes I get off of work and just come home and rest to build up more stamina to go work out and basically work out for two hours or so. It has definatley affected my relationships with my friends both girls and guys and my dating. I'm not bragging I'm not the biggest guy here but I'm happy with the progress I've made with my age. I enjoy working out and sometimes I don't feel like working out to be honest but I sort of see it as work. If you were tired of going to work would you just not go? I think the answer is no. Being healthy physically is important as being healthy mentally and both ways around. So IMO lift weights but don't go hard on yourself if you mess up and eat bad or go out on the weekends. You only live once my friends and its not like you gotta be swole tomorrow, most of us have years to get to our wanted physiques so take your time, I know sometimes I regret not going out and I plan to attempt to change that.

I think i got what your sayin but isnt a part of being mentally fit not bein a recluse like ya said ya only live once and if you really think you can go pro or somethin than stay home if it makes you feel good but if you dont plan to be a pro then get out bud your only in college once man and these are supposed to be the best years of our lives man.
sorry for the long post but i had this said to me once when i started to become reclusive and obsessed w/gettin big a while ago.
Well i'm obsessed with my family my gf and my kid ............everything i do is for them .....i been working since i was 13 and thank to God i'm very well off compared to alot of people .......i have my own contracting company,house,and car's ........i had to give up alot of things though ........i have about 3 friends that i see like once a month........and most of my friends don't get me cause they don't know what responsability is they are more worried about the next xbox or car rims than anything is .............i don't go out much cause i hate clubs bcuase i never had the chance to go when i was younger(had to work and to many people together....hate that )........when i go out it's to small bars ..............working out for me is like at 5th place but i love it ....its like my alone time ........to throw away all the stress and anger i build up during the day ..................My advice for anyone would be to enjoy life to the fullist while you can cause you don't know when responsibility is going to creep up on you .

I spent yesterday with my family from Vermont. I rarely visit them, because Vermont is out of the way and doesn't seem very exciting, but then every time I spend time with them I remind myself how much I enjoy it and how I should go back soon.
While I was in Vermont I finished a book called the Narcissism Epidemic, which was a perfect book to crystallize why I love spending time with my Vermont family. They're the least narcissistic people I know.
I forget who recommended the book to me, but I read it in the same way a hypochondriac might read the DSM-IV. I suspect that I'm probably narcissistic, and that it's probably not a great thing to be.
But my family isn't. They care so little about image that as I say that I feel pathetic for even acknowledging that image might matter to someone. Like to me, for example. I do selfless things for people when it's convenient for me. They do selfless things for people when it's horrible inconvenient. I say good things and bad things about people. They only say good things. It was shocking, really. Everyone they mentioned seemed to bring nothing but delight into their lives.
Here's a good example of all these things. My eighty-five year old grandfather, with a smile on his face, told me about all the different places he had to drive my cousin, some of them hours away. Why? Because my cousin had a bad drug problem which landed him in jail. Now he had to be driven to his parole officer, drug treatment courses, and who knows where else. My grandfather shared this with no hint of shame or disgrace, but was actually beaming when he talked about how my cousin had been sober for two years now. His frankness, unquestioning acceptance, and complete absence of self interest was shocking and refreshing.
The scary part for me is that although I can imagine acting selflessly, I can't really imagine feeling it. My grandfather drove my cousin around simply because he needed a ride. No other factors mattered, and thus no other factors were considered.
I would probably also end up driving him around, but I would secretly think that it's dumb that his indiscretion has inconvenienced me. I would check my calendar, hoping that there might be an immovable appointment that could gracefully excuse me.
Narcissism is like computer addiction in that it has its advantages and disadvantages. I'd love to have no computer, which would make me more social, outgoing, and even a lighter traveler. But then I'd have to give up making money online, keeping in touch with friends online, and a number of other perks. The pros and cons are so intertwined that it's difficult to strip away the cons without the pros.
Being a narcissist enables me to believe that it's reasonable for me to totally disregard standard employment, because I'm "special" enough to do my own thing-which in my case amounts to being myself and writing about it. It allows me to do something the book specifically cautions against: refusing to settle when dating, believing I can find someone perfect. It fuels me with the bravado necessary to get on a stage in front of a crowd and share stories with my life.
Whether or not these things are empirically good, I love them all. On the other hand, I'm also acutely aware of the benefits of being humble, because I run into them from time to time. When I was in Colombia I had a conversation with Matt, the guy I stayed with. We were talking about how some people come off as such good people that you're immediately drown to their charisma. Although we both knew the exact type of person we were talking about, neither of us could pinpoint what made them that way. My guess now is that it's a lack of narcissism.
As I write, I'm cognizant that I'm thinking about it the wrong way; even when talking about leaving narcissism behind, I'm considering how that might benefit me. Fresh off reading the book, I'm too aware of how many first person pronouns this post is littered with. Some habits can be changed instantly, some can be changed with prolonged hard work, but my guess is that narcissism requires time, maturity, and awareness to fade.
I'm writing this on the last leg of JetBlue All-You-Can-Fly. Looking forward to a day or two in Vegas, a few days in LA, and then back in SF for about a month before heading to Japan and China.
How lucky I am to have so many awesome readers really came into focus the other day. I left my jackets at Buffalo Airport, and one tweet later half a dozen people in the area offered to get them for me. Thank you to everyone who offered!
It's a dangerous night to be walking outside. Not for me, but for the tiny little frogs that dot the gravel road. I swish my overpowered Surefire flashlight across the dark gravel trying to avoid stepping on them. When I get close they freeze in their tracks, making them harder to see. This would be a good reflex if I was trying to eat them, but it's working against them tonight.
I'm walking down to the beach for old times' sake. It's 2am and I'm in Milton, Vermont. Calling it a beach is generous. Shale rocks densely scattered over green outcroppings of weeds lead up to murky water. There are a few docks and a few boats pulled up out of the water. They're not locked to anything - they're just sitting there.
I crouch, pick up one of the little green frogs, and watch him slowly climb around my wrist as I rotate it. I probably haven't touched a frog in ten years. Playing with frogs used to be my favorite thing to do when I was in Vermont. I liked to catch them in a bucket and then empty it into the nearby creek and watch them swim away. Sometimes we'd throw them in the air so that they'd land in the lake. That seems a bit inhumane now, but we didn't know better back then. We were kids. I lower my arm to the ground and nudge the frog off of my wrist.

News in Brief
CIA Director John Brennan apologized to Senate intelligence committee leaders for accessing staffers' computers, an about-face from previous denials.
On July 31, the Pentagon named two top officials to serve in the White House Military Office and the Defense Department's CIO office.
Karin Appel is now director of the DOD CIO's Joint Information Environment implementation. She was previously the Joint Chiefs of Staff J-6 office's liaison to DOD CIO.
Dabney Kern, a former vice president at CACI International, will be the White House Military Office's director of policy, plans and requirements. The office overseas military operations aboard Air Force One, among other programs.
Both positions are part of the Senior Executive Service, whose members serve in leadership positions that link presidential appointees with the rest of the federal workforce.
CIA Director John Brennan has apologized to the leaders of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence for his agency's infiltration of computers used by committee staffers, according to multiple news reports.
The move is an about-face from previous denials that the CIA accessed computers used by the committee to research a forthcoming report on the agency's interrogation methods.
Brennan apologized to Chairwoman Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) and Vice Chairman Saxby Chambliss (R-Ga.) in a private briefing on July 29, McClatchy reported.
"The director is committed to correcting any shortcomings related to this matter, and to that end, he is commissioning an Accountability Board at CIA, which will be chaired by former senator and [former intelligence committee] member Evan Bayh," CIA spokesman Dean Boyd told FCW. "This board will review the [inspector general's] report, conduct interviews as needed and provide the director with recommendations that, depending on its findings, could include potential disciplinary measures and/or steps to address systemic issues."
An audit by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's inspector general revealed a bring-your-own-device problem that jeopardized NOAA's information systems, GovInfoSecurity.com reports. And the device that gave NOAA's incident response team headaches wasn't a smartphone or tablet but an old-fashioned personal computer.
Michael Devany, deputy undersecretary for operations at the Commerce Department, acknowledged that the incident occurred but said the IG is exaggerating the potential risk.
Defense Systems reports that the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency is seeking research on existing capabilities for automatically deriving geo-referenced 3D point clouds from commercial satellite imagery.
Point clouds are used in geographic information systems to make digital elevation models of terrain or generate 3D models of urban areas.
At a minimum, NGA wants a fully automated system that could take at least two commercial satellite images and output a 3D point cloud capable of showing multiple elevations at a single location.

Early self-reporting suggests that 81 percent of agencies are on track to electronically manage email records.
The head of the Defense Innovation Unit Experimental says his goal is to drive culture change in the DOD's acquisition and innovation processes rather than make DIUx the acquisition arm of the DOD.
A plan to reorganize DHS' cybersecurity directorate that stalled in Congress last year is still on the agency's agenda.
Without confirmed subcabinet officials, President Donald Trump's executive order calling for a federal government reorganization will be managed by agency chiefs and career executives.
As promised, a budget blueprint from the Trump administration prioritizes military and homeland security spending, and pays for increases with dramatic cuts to civilian agencies.

text: The AP-1 transcription factor is a heterodimer of Jun and Fos family proteins that binds to a specific sequence on the transcriptional promoter of certain genes and drives their transcription. Although basal AP-1 activity is needed for normal function, elevated AP-1 activity drives tumor progression in several human cancer sites. Keratinocyte-specific expression of Dominant Negative Jun in transgenic mice inhibits induced AP-1 and tumorigenesis without inhibiting cell proliferation or cell survival in multiple mouse models relevant to human carcinogenesis (Young et al., PNAS, 1999). Among these are mice whose skin tumor promotion response is elevated by expression of Human Papilloma Virus E7 (Young et al Molec Carc 2002) and mice induced to form squamous carcinomas by repeated exposure to UVB (Cooper et al Molec Cancer Res 2003). Tetracycline regulated expression of TAM 67 has been directed to mammary epithelia in collaboration with Powel Brown (Shen et al Dev Biol 2006) and has recently been tested for efficacy in preventing HER2/Neu induced mammary carcinogenesis. The results show substantial inhibition by the AP-1 blocker of preneoplastic as well as early and later stage tumor development (Shen et al Ca Prev Res 2008). Importantly, TAM67 expression was silenced in mammary tumors that developed. Inducible TAM67 has been found also to inhibit chemically induced lung carcinogenesis in collaboration with the laboratory of Jay Tichelaar (Cancer Prev Research 2010). The transcription factor NFkappa B is coordinately regulated with AP-1, suggesting the possible importance of both factors in transformation (Li et, Cancer Res 1997). Recent observations have identified NFkB non-responsiveness as an explanation for transformation non-responsiveness in the JB6 model (Hsu et al, Cancer Res 2001, Hu et al Carcinogenesis 2004). Transformation resistant cells owe their nonresponsiveness to an inability to activate NFkappa B p65 protein. p65 phosphorylation at S536 is important for DNA binding and for ubiquitination and degradation of inhibitor IkappaB alpha (Hu et al Molec Carcinog 2005). The observation that targeting AP-1 and NFkB elevation prevents tumor promotion and progression has been extended from the mouse JB6 model to mouse and human keratinocyte progression models, and to transgenic mouse models. Transgenic mice expressing AP-1/ NFkB inhibitor TAM 67 present a valuable opportunity to identify AP-1 or NFkB target genes whose expression is critical to neoplastic transformation. Expression microarray analysis has revealed TAM67 target genes that are being queried for functional significance in driving carcinogenesis. Such target genes may be promising new molecular targets for cancer prevention (Young et al Trends in Molec Medicine 2003). Recent studies have established the importance of chromatin architectural protein HMGA1 (Dhar et al Oncogene 2004), COX-2, osteopontin, urokinase plasminogen activator, Cxcl1 and MMP-10 (Matthews et al Cancer Res 2007) as functionally significant TAM67 targets. One of the recently discovered TAM67/AP-1 target genes is sulfiredoxin, a redox enzyme that is functionally significant both in tumor promotion and invasion as well as elevated in human cancer (Wei Q, et al, PNAS 2008 and PNAS 2011, Carcinogenesis 2013). The most recently discovered target of the AP-1 blocker is Wnt5a which signals through a non-canonical pathway involving protein kinase C and STAT3 to drive oncogenesis in several models (Kang et al Genes and Cancer, 2012). A drug discovery project in collaboration with the Molecular Targets Laboratory has identified compounds that mimic the specificity of TAM67, i.e. that inhibit AP-1 and/or NFkB and prevent carcinogenesis without inhibiting cell proliferation or cell survival. The primary AP-1 high throughput screen of 300,000 synthetic and natural products coupled to a cell proliferation (XTT) assay yielded a small set of AP-1 hits(Ruocco et al J Biomolec Screening 2007). The secondary assay has assessed inhibition of NFkB and identified an AP-1 inhibitor that is even more active against NFkappa B (Kang et al Mol Ca Ther, 2009). The new Chemical Biology Laboratory, CCR is generating analogs of this NFkappaB inhibitor and collaborating with Cristina Annunziata (MOB, CCR), winner of a Directors Innovation Award to assess its possible effectivenss against human ovarian cancer. In summary, recent accomplishments for this Project include 1) the discovery of new AP-1 regulated genes whose attenuation is responsible for the carcingenesis suppressing activity of AP-1 blocker TAM67, notably Sulfiredoxin and Wnt5a, and 2) the discovery of new small molecules that target AP-1 or NFkappaB without inhibiting cell viability.

And a free site is a tough thing. Without serious sponsorship there isn't any money which makes it all volunteer work. Sometimes even the best volunteers get tired of all work, no play and no money.

Another layout of my DGS from our beach trip this year. Journalling: You didnt really like getting sand on your hands, but didnt seem to mind getting it all over the rest of your body. Your diaper was full at the end of every day! You also loved pointing at anything flying overhead and would stop doing whatever you were doing anytime something flew by. Myrtle Beach 2012
So cute! Your photos are adorable and I really like all your sand embellishments.
So cute...look at him pointing! I like how you combined the different collections. Fun layout!
What cute photos. Great beach embellishments, too. I really like the sand.
Great page! Going to the beach w/ my boys was one of my FAVs! Love how you tied the sand toys to the ribbon and included the sand!
So cute. My grandchildren are the same way about getting their hands dirty. Every time my husband and I go to a beach we think how much the kids would love it but it hasn't happened yet. You did a great job capturing a memory. Nice journaling to tell the story.
Great "sandy" layout. I love the embellishments you used for those cute photos.
You're doing such a wonderful job of recording the life of your darling little grandson. Treasures to last forever!
Adorable! I love the photos, and I especially like the sandy look to the page. Wonderful journaling, too. The toys hanging from the ribbon is a clever idea!
this is so cute - fun alpha you picked too!
This page is darling! These photos are adorable and I love the title and journaling! The embellishments are great too. Basically love everything about it:)

Dave Lindorff: Impeachment on a Roll

Down the shore yesterday, as we say in Philly, I was body surfing in the Atlantic and it got me to thinking.
On the East Coast, where the prevailing winds are offshore, the surf tends to be pretty tame, and Thursday was no exception, with the biggest waves cresting at perhaps three feet. Nonetheless, these little combers were able to send my prone body racing 100 feet toward the beach at a good clip.

Scooter Libby should have thought about his family before he decided to lie and cover up the fact they were about the business of waging a vendetta against Joe Wilson and that they intentionally exposed Joe's covert CIA agent wife, just to smear Joe! Libby lied in an effort to cover up their abominable attempts to destroy a man and his family. Libby should have considered his family and the consequences of his actions; he should have put his family above the wants needs and chicanery of Dick Cheney and George Bush. The lie, and the attempt to cover it up, were wrong! Now where have I heard that before, oh I remember, right before the Repuglicans brought impeachment charges against Bill Clinton. Not a single solitary Repuglican was wailing about what it would do to Bill Clinton's family. They gathered around Clinton like a bunch of sharks in a feeding frenzy, they circled in for the kill, they appointed a special prosecutor and poked into every aspect of Clinton's existence. They gleefully scandalized Clinton, they tried to destroy him the same way they tried to destroy Joe Wilson. Repuglicans don't change their tactics, they use the same methods over and over again in an attempt to annihilate those who don't agree with them. Scooter Libby and his family got off light, he was found guilty and sentenced to a prison term, no one persecuted him the same way they all persecuted Bill Clinton. And in the end Libby can expect a pardon, because he knows more than Bush and Cheney want revealed to the public!!!!

All of us need to write all their state senators (both dems and repubs) to express outrage. Especially write the Dem Gov. who in no way should choose Lynne Cheney to represent the people in Wyoming. I just can't stand it.

Car wrecks are the leading cause of death for teen drivers, and that risk goes up in the summer months. To raise awareness of this trend, AAA coined the "100 Deadliest Days of Driving" to mark the period between Memorial Day and Labor Day when more teens die on America's roads than any other time.
Why is summer such a dangerous time for teen drivers?
According to AAA, about 220 teen drivers and their passengers died in car accidents each month during the summer of 2013. This is a 43 percent increase over the other nine months of the year.
The reason more teens die in crashes during the summer is fairly simple: There are more teens on the road than during any other time of year. During the summer months,
school is out and teens are more likely to be out with their friends. More friends mean more distractions and a higher likelihood of a crash. At the same time, they are also more likely to be driving on unfamiliar streets, rather than just heading to school or their usual hangouts.
How can parents influence road safety for teens?
Parents often feel like they are the last people on Earth their teen drivers will listen to, but the opposite is true. Parents' rules, and rule enforcement, play a key role in ensuring teen drivers make good choices behind the wheel and stay out of trouble on the road.
Parents also need to realize their influence in this area begins in early childhood. From the time children are young through their teen years, they watch how parents manage everything from basic safety to reacting to an aggressive driver. Always wear your seatbelt, put your phone away, and practice safe, calm driving around your children and teens at all times.
How can I keep my teen safe on the road?
Consider these tips:
Limit who rides with your teen and whom your teen rides with
Teens need several months of experience behind the wheel before they are ready to drive with the distraction of friends and other passengers. Consider restricting the number of people allowed to ride with your teen for six months to a year after they receive their license.
Even if you limit your teen to driving only her siblings, other families may not use the same rules. It is paramount to know whom your teen is riding with, and ensuring they are trustworthy drivers. According to the AAA study, 27 percent of all teen crash deaths between 1994 and 2013 were passengers riding with teen drivers.
Enforce curfews
In many areas, New York State's graduated driver license laws include curfews. Regardless of the area's curfew, parents should set clear curfews that keep teens off the street after dark for at least their first six months on the road.
Talk to your teens about drinking and driving, wearing a seatbelt, speeding, and distracted driving. Give your teens clear expectations about these things.
Keep the lines of communication open with your teen, and let them know that the rules may relax somewhat over time as they gain experience.

INDIANAPOLIS – Jim Caldwell's second stint as a NFL head coach will be a success or failure based on the ability of him and his staff to make Matthew Stafford into a top quarterback whose big plays outweigh the mistakes.
Maybe that's not fair, considering Caldwell wasn't around when the Lions gave Stafford a massive contract extension that tied him to Detroit for years to come, but that's the situation he faces. And, having some time to evaluate Stafford since he was hired this offseason, he likes being in that spot.
Caldwell, who went to a Super Bowl with Peyton Manning as Colts head coach and helped Joe Flacco win a Super Bowl as offensive coordinator of the Ravens, talked about wanting a "championship quarterback," and he thinks Stafford can be just that.
"I think we have the makings of that," Caldwell said. "I think you're going to see Matthew take the bull by the horns and do all the little things that are necessary to get us to keep moving forward as a team."
The knocks on Stafford are well known. He is loose with the ball at times, and he has never been too fundamentally sound. Caldwell addressed Stafford's fundamentals when he talked about hiring new quarterbacks coach Jim Bob Cooter, who will be "a great fit for Matthew."
Stafford has tremendous talent and has played very well in stretches, it's just smoothing out the rough edges of his game and becoming a quarterback who the Lions can count on every game. Caldwell addressed one lingering concern about Stafford, which is how willing he is to sacrifice to become a great quarterback. His comment that working with a quarterback tutor in the offseason was "not something that I feel would be my style or beneficial" raised some eyebrows. But Caldwell has no issue with Stafford's commitment.
"He's hungry to improve, I've noticed that about him," Caldwell said. "He's eager. He's a willing worker. He's smart, and he has tools. When you find that combination, typically you're going to find a guy that does everything it takes to put himself in a position where he's a championship quarterback."
Caldwell better hope he's correct. His coaching future is tied to how well Stafford develops.

Heat kills by pushing the human body beyond its limits. In extreme heat and high humidity, evaporation is slowed and the body must work extra hard to maintain a normal temperature.
Most heat disorders occur because the victim has been overexposed to heat or has over-exercised for his or her age and physical condition. Older adults, young children, and those who are sick or overweight are more likely to succumb to extreme heat.

While watching an episode of All in the Family, "Edith's Crisis of Faith," a few nights ago, I found myself thinking about Jesus. Funny how that happens; but why shouldn't Jesus show up in a sitcom? Back in the day, he certainly showed up in lots of places considered odd by those who knew how a Messiah should act and with whom he should be found.

Though Senate Republicans accused Democrats of playing politics with homeland defense, the Appropriations Committee voted an additional $7.5 billion today for measures to combat bioterrorism and improve security at ports, borders and nuclear facilities.
The proposal, sponsored by the committee's chairman, Senator Robert C. Byrd of West Virginia, also included $7.5 billion more for New York and other areas hit on Sept. 11. Both provisions were added to the military spending bill, making its cost $352 billion, and the bill was passed by the committee on a party-line voice vote.
Senator Phil Gramm, Republican of Texas, called the measure ''a slap in the face to the president.'' President Bush said on Nov. 6 that he would veto any emergency spending beyond the $40 billion voted in September. Senator Trent Lott of Mississippi, the minority leader, said Vice President Dick Cheney told Senate Republicans at lunch today that Mr. Bush still felt strongly that ''that's enough.''
Mr. Lott said Democrats were trying to scare Republicans into voting more money than was needed now. ''They say, 'Give us more money, and by the way, if you don't, if something happens, we'll say it's your fault,' '' he declared.
But Senator Ted Stevens of Alaska, the senior Republican on the committee, said he thought the spending that Mr. Byrd proposed made sense, though it could probably not be done as quickly as Mr. Byrd believed.
''There is no question,'' Mr. Stevens told the committee, ''if the administration had not made a strong request to me, I would have supported Senator Byrd.''
Mr. Stevens said the president would probably ask for a supplemental appropriation in March.
Mr. Byrd, however, maintained that the money was needed now. While Mr. Lott said the Democrats were breaking an agreement to hold emergency spending in the current fiscal year to $40 billion, Mr. Byrd said there was no such pact. In September, he maintained, ''nobody said, 'This much, no more.' ''
The New York money in the Byrd measure got hardly any discussion in committee. New York's senators, Hillary Rodham Clinton and Charles E. Schumer, hailed the provision, although both acknowledged that committee action was only one step. The full bill is expected to be brought up on the floor on Thursday.

Ticket #1609 (closed defect: community)

The default /etc/multitap-pad/im-multipress.conf renders the terminal useless because it lacks any way to enter the "/", "|", Control, ESC, and Alt keys.
It's easy to add them by editing the conf file from a USB-connected PC, but it's becoming an FAQ that could be avoided by including those keys.

There are two issues here actually:
1) The keyboard that ships with the standard FSO image needs to have its standard numeric /etc/multitap-pad/im-multipress.conf adjusted to add the "/", "|", Ctrl, and ESC keys added.
2) The keyboard in ASU is even less useful. It doesn't even have numbers! And there's no way to backspace if you make a mistake.
If this should be two separate bug reports (one easy fix against FSO, one probably much harder problem in ASU) then I'd be glad to do that.

asu keyboard (btw - not my design - taken from qtopia's predictive keyboard).
- slide finger RIGHT for space/next word
- slide ginger DOWN for enter/return (and next word)
- slide finger LEFT for backspace
- slide finger UP to change keyboard layout and get.. numbers, symbols etc. etc. :)
- key layout is a text config file. you can make your own!
so i'd ignore the asu keyboard feedback here. it's just bad usability - it does actually work!

Travel between Rome and Florence for only 12 Euros: now that's an eye catcher! But it's absolutely true: for less than the cost of a taxi ride in central Rome, you can travel all the way from Rome to Florence by Trenitalia Intercity (IC) train. In fact, the 12-Euro advance purchase "MINI" fare in second class is even lower than the undiscountable (except for children) fare for the unreserved "regionale" train (17.15 Euros in second class). The 12-Euro "MINI" fare on the IC train represents a 60% discount over the regular, undiscounted fare of 30 Euros in second class.
Most of the IC trains between Rome and Florence pull into the Firenze Rifredi Station (where you must connect to a "regionale" train for the short hop to the main SMN Station). However, there is one IC train in each direction which departs from and arrives at Firenze SMN: it's the 18:20 IC from Rome Termini (arrives Firenze SMN at 20:58), and the 5:50 a.m. IC from Firenze SMN (arrives Roma Termini at 8:30). This particular train does not run seven days per week in each direction, so look up the schedules for your expected travel date.
Schedules for the IC trains not convenient? No problem: find a "MINI" fare on the ultrafast Frecciarossa or Frecciargento train between Rome and Florence for as little as 19 Euros (second class), and you'll arrive (nonstop) in merely 95 minutes using the new high-speed rail line. But, to get this low fare, you'll likely need to book well in advance, because the "MINI" fares are capacity-controlled, and consequently the lowest fares sell out quickly, especially on trains departing during high-demand timeframes during the day. The Frecciarossa/Frecciargento trains between Rome and Florence run every 30 minutes or less throughout the day.
Finally, there is always the tried-and-true unreserved "regionale" train, which costs (only) 17.15 Euros at any time, but takes four hours to reach its final destination! Unfortunately, there are fewer of them these days between Rome and Florence.
If travelling with children under 12, also consider the "Familia" fare or (if not available) simply the 50% discount for children between the ages of 4 and 12. (There is no special "MINI" fare for children, and children pay the same "MINI" fare as adults. Naturally, if the "MINI" discount is less than 50%, the child's fare should be selected since it's more advantageous).
Children under 4 always travel free without a guaranteed seat: you do NOT count them when booking seats.
Finally, don't forget to read the rules and strict restrictions of the "MINI" fare before selecting it ... or you might be sorry!

Thanks, GAC!
Quick question - I understand that we should not include our son when we book train tickets (he will be 19 months when we travel) and that he will not have a guaranteed seat. If there is a seat available, I presume it is ok if he sits in it? Also, would it be ok to pay a regular children's fare for him if we want to guarantee he has a seat? -

Thank you so much GAC for this information.
I will be traveling in May 2012 from Rome to Florence and then a few days later from Florence to Venice.
I will be interested in the express trains in first class. When should I start looking for the mini fares?
thanks for any help you can give. -

TexasAggie: your answers to your own questions above are both correct. Just remember that NOBODY has a guaranteed seat on the UNRESERVED "regionale" trains: consequently, there is little reason to purchase a ticket for a toddler under 4 when travelling on these commuter trains.
dac: you'll be able to book the "MINI" fares up to FOUR MONTHS in advance: in your case, beginning some time in January 2012 (depending on your actual travel date). Also, there will be a general schedule change in mid-December of this year, and no trains can be booked past then UNTIL the new schedules come on line (which should occur in stages starting in November). Remember that there are no "MINI" fares for the unreserved "regionale" trains. Comment has been removed by Fodor's moderators

dac: The Frecciarossa and Frecciargento trains between Rome and Florence are now officially referred to as "AV" trains ("Alta Velocita"). The trains which Trenitalia classifies as "ES" are the older-model Eurostar railcars which are now relegated to a few less prestigious routes (and do not run on the "high speed" rail line). Nevertheless, some people continue to refer to all these trains under the catch-all name of "Eurostar" or "ES".
kybourbon: sometimes (as in this case), I post very similar articles on more than one travel website (but not "lots of threads"), if I believe that the contents might benefit the attention of more readers. Usually, the postings are not 100% identical, as I edit them each time. Of course, I have no idea if a third party, without authorization, copies anybody's posts elsewhere. Hopefully not!
If my original posting is indeed appearing on lots of threads, it must mean that some people are really paying attention (and perhaps Trenitalia will even be seeing more purchases of its "MINI" fare electronic tickets from overseas customers). Might this be a way to help them fill their 5:50 a.m. IC train from Florence to Rome? -

GAC - I was talking about the post by someone else (now removed), but while I was typing, someone else made a post. I reported them as they were posting the exact same paragraph (word for word) on multiple threads asking to be e-mailed and including an e-mail address. They were topping lots of threads. It had nothing to do with your posts or trains.
dac - As GAC posted, you can't book more than four months in advance on Trenitalia. It seems each year when Trenitalia updates their schedules, their fare offers change. Mini fares may or may not exist next May, but there is typically some type of discount fare. If you want to search the fast trains only (this will include AV, ES, ESCity and IC), use the Le Frecce link on Trenitalia as it doesn't show the slow trains. You must use the Italian spelling for train stations as it won't accept the English spelling(when you start typing, it will start to autofill and then you can select the station you want). It lets you see which car you will be booking and can click on the actual seat you want.
On the AV and ES trains, many of the seats have tables (denoted in the diagrams by a gray oblong), but some of the seats at the ends of cars only have drop down trays (like on an airplane). You can do a walkthru on the link I gave. Select a train and then be sure to click "select seat" and then "buy without registration". If you make any changes at all, it will deselect the "select seat" and you will have to enter everything again. -

Here are some notes on the LOWEST "MINI" fares currently available on popular tourist routes within Italy.
Remember that actual "MINI" fares are subject to capacity controls, and consequently vary according to travel date, selection of train, and class of service. The "MINI" discounts range from as low as 10% to as high as 60% (70% between Milan and Venice).
There is no special "MINI" fare for children, BUT travellers under the age of 12 ALWAYS get a standard, unrestricted discount of 50% (so the "MINI" fare for a child should be selected ONLY if the discount is 60%).
Toddlers under the age of four (4) ALWAYS travel FREE, without a ticket, without a guaranteed seat, and are NOT counted when buying tickets. Parents wanting to assure a seat for their toddler should purchase a Child's ticket with a 50% discount.
Remember that the "MINI" fares are subject to strict deadlines, rules and conditions concerning purchase, changes, and refunds. Read these rules before purchasing.
Remember too that there are no "MINI" fares for the unreserved "regionale" trains (but children still get the standard 50% discount, and toddlers still travel free).
Sometimes, low "MINI" fares are easier to find on the Intercity trains or on trains departing outside of peak travel hours.
Sometimes, very attractive "MINI" fares can be found in first class where second class on the same train is not much lower.
The lowest "MINI" fares are often found by booking as far out in advance as possible (but never more than four months). "MINI" fares only go up with the passage of time.
Here are the lowest "MINI" fares currently offered on selected routes:
Rome/Florence: 19 Euros on Frecciarossa; 12 Euros on Intercity
Rome/Venice: 29 Euros on Frecciargento; 18 Euros on Intercity
Rome/Naples: 19 Euros on Frecciarossa; 9 Euros on Intercity
Rome/Milan: 49 Euros on Frecciarossa; 20 Euros on Intercity
Rome/Genoa: 19 Euros on Frecciabianca; 17 Euros on Intercity
Florence/Venice: 17 Euros on Frecciargento; 10 Euros on Intercity
Florence/Naples: 29 Euros on Frecciarossa; 18 Euros on Intercity
Florence/Salerno: 29 Euros on Frecciarossa; 18 Euros on Intercity
Florence/Milan: 19 Euros on Frecciarossa; 12 Euros on Intercity
Rome/Palermo: 26 Euros on Intercity

Hello Everyone, I had a quick question regarding photo organization in Aperture. I have all of my pictures sorted in folders with in my "Pictures" folder, and this is how I want to keep it. What is the best way to have Aperture reference the Pictures folder as I continue to add to it? After playing around with the demo version, it appears that I have to manually import every new folder as I create it. The same goes for individual pictures if I put them in folders that are already referenced. Is there no way to get Aperture to do this automatically? I'm looking forward to getting into post-processing, but I just want to make sure I have my organization down before I dive completely in. Also, if you don't mind, could you share your preferred method of organization as well? Thanks in advance, DCBass
Try this: In Aperture, File > Import > Folder into Project I got this from the video at Apple.com. I let Aperture handle my files, I don't want to be bothered otherwise. After January rolls around I take all of last year's photos and relocate them to my external HD, referencing them in Aperture. It can help Aperture run a tiny bit faster and free up space on my HD.
Thanks for that Aperture, I did see this, and think it's great for setting up your library. But when I make any modifications to a folder that's already been "imported" into Aperture, the change goes unrecognized. -DCBass
Do you mean you import the photo and edit in an external editor and the changes go unnoticed, or do you import, then open say Photoshop, edit, and then Aperture somehow doesn't see the changes? The latter from what I understand is not how you want to do it because Aperture technically stores your photos and never really touches the originals. (I may be misstating that a bit). That said, if you import into Aperture, then edit using the external editor (a choice you make within Aperture) then the changes will be recognized in Aperture. I only know this because it is how I did it. Otherwise, editing the original file in which I imported did not have the same results.
The simple answer is that you can't do what you are trying to do. Aperture does not monitor folders and cannot reference folders, only individual images.
I suspected that that might be the case. Is this the same as Lightroom? It seems that Picasa is the only photo program that does this. Does this not bother anyone else? Since Aperture does not do this automatically, is there a simple way to have Aperture "refresh" or "rescan" a particular referenced folder? DCBass
Unfortunately not. Lightroom doesn't do it either. The only way I know to do this is to tell Aperture where you want it before you import it. As an example, I organize my Baltimore City shots by date, not project. So if I shoot in the AM, then shoot in the PM they all go into the same folder. (1) I have 20 images on my camera that I shot in the evening. (2) I open Aperture and plug in my camera. (3) When the App asks me what I want to do with my images I tell it to put them in the folder I already named (Baltimore X.XX.07) for that day. The App will make a new project in the sidebar, but the images will be referenced from the folder that I already created. (4) Once it is done importing, I will just move the images from the new project in the Aperture pane, to the one I already created. That will put all the images together without doing too much more work It doesn't bother me that Aperture doesn't have live updating of folders, but it would be nice. I'd rather have a much lighter Aperture Lite program just for browsing like Bridge, that links into PS, AI, InDesign, iWork, and other apps, and I really wish Aperture could edit the large previews it generates when my library isn't with me. It baffles me how Aperture can make preview almost as large as my D2hs files but I can't edit them when the referenced files are not available.
No, not in the slightest. I don't bother trying to manage thousands of files, file by file myself. That's what Aperture is for! I simply connect my camera and either add the images to an existing project, or create a new project, whichever is appropriate...
My Decision I was wrong about Lightroom, it does have the ability to "synchronize" with a referenced folder. Hopefully Apple adds this to Aperture in the next version. After a lot of reviewing of the two, I've decided to go with Aperture for two main reasons: 1) On my 17" iMac, Aperture's interface gets much more out of my way than Lightroom's. Lightroom feels very cluttered on my screen in comparison. 2) Integration with iLife, iWork, and other areas in Mac OSX. It will be much easier for me to create a movie, slideshow, or presentation than with Lightroom. There are a few smaller reasons, namely the free flickr plugin for Aperture works much better than exporting through Lightroom, and editing in Aperture appears to work more smoothly for me than Lightroom. Although I have gripes about the lack of synchronization, it will force me to be more thoughtful about my photo organization, which is a good thing in the end. Thanks for all the help everyone! DCBass
Why is everyone so scared of a managed library? What you are asking is pretty much what Aperture does when you use a managed library. The finder will show you if you don't believe me, just right click and show package contents. That being said you may find some of the stuff here useful: http://photo.rwboyer.com/ RB
