Exodus 12.1-4, 11-14 1 Corinthians 11.23-26 John 13.1-17, 31-35
When Christ assembles with his disciples in the Upper Room in Jerusalem, they are following God's commandments given all those years ago to Moses on the night of the liberation of God's people, the children of Israel, from slavery in Egypt to freedom in the Promised Land; they are to celebrate the Feast of the Passover, year by year, in perpetual ordinance, a night which has been observed ever since, right up to the present day and beyond.
The Jewish Passover is far more than just a family meal; it is steeped in the history of centuries, an integral part of the rich tapestry that is God's story woven together with the story of humankind. There are rituals to follow; a place set for Elijah, the story of that night re-told and prompted by the questioning of the youngest child, which begins, Why is this night different from all other nights? Bread is broken, wine consumed, food eaten – and yet this is no commemorative meal, no feast of celebration for celebration's sake. When families gather together, they are no longer in the family dining room, no longer in the Upper Room in Jerusalem – they are on the shores of the Red Sea, with the generation of the enslaved – they are indeed people of the Exodus.
And so it is with us as we gather at the start of the great Three Days. We are all there, in the Upper Room, with the disciples, in the presence of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Our stories are tonight woven into the tapestry as it takes shape. And all the elements of that first Passover night are there as the events unfold – confusion, praise and thanksgiving, bewilderment, apprehension, betrayal, denial, anger, weakness, cowardice, strength, forbearance….a heady mix of thoughts, feelings, reactions and emotions, crammed together in one night as Christ leads us out into the desert of crucifixion, into the land of the unknown.
And so, in the midst of all this remembering, Christ calmly gets up, wraps a towel around his waist, and washes feet. It is an amazing sign of amazing love, and only found in the Gospel of St John. We rely on the headstrong Peter to blurt out what everyone else is thinking, You will never wash my feet! And we can imagine Jesus' face as he does it, calm, resolute, looking at Peter steadily as he says, You do not know what I am doing, but later you will understand. And then the faithful Peter emerges – not just his feet, but his head and hands as well…still of course with no real understanding of what is happening, but trusting in Our Lord implicitly. Stephen Cottrell, in his fine book The Things he Did, speculates on this moment of foot-washing: Jesus' eyes said, 'I know you; and I want to do this thing for you because I love you; and I want you to be clean. And I will wash away the heat and burden of the day. I will be with you as one who serves. Come to me, all who are weary and overburdened, and I will give you rest. I will make you clean, I will make you well.'
John's gospel is all about signs. Rowan Williams describes a sign as something that communicates, that changes the world of meaning that we live in. John tells us that Jesus knew that his hour had come to depart from this world and go to the Father. In this last night he prepares us all for what is to follow and washing the disciples' feet is a powerful indication of what we are to do as his followers, witnesses to his passion and death. So here we wash feet because it is the will of the Father, because Christ in his compete obedience to that will shows us the way, telling us that we all have a part to play on this auspicious night and onwards through the Great Three Days, in the here and now and on into the future, generation upon generation, at one with those who trod the muddy sea-bed, the dusty wilderness, those who were there on the shores of Lake Galilee, in the city streets, along the Via Dolorosa, on the cross at Calvary and beyond. We all march together with the Servant King leading, guiding, urging us on, inspiring. I have set you an example that you should do as I have done to you…..if you know these things, you are blessed if you do them.
In the sheer magnificence of John's account of the last night, as the story unfolds, we are drawn into the drama. Our Lord Jesus Christ leaves his final instructions, and we are given the simple commandment to love one another, the commandment which gives this holy day its name – Maundy Thursday.
Here are more echoes of the Children of Israel, wandering in the desert, fickle, wayward, grumbling, groping about, like the disciples, in a fog of unknowing. As Moses brings down the Ten Commandments from the mountain, so Christ in his divinity brings down for us the ultimate commandment from heaven which subsumes all others: love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. And having received this commandment for what it is – a commandment, not an option – then we are told to go out and to put it into practice: By this, everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another. The rule and of love is about to be revealed in the King who comes to serve…in the words of that wonderful hymn we sang at the beginning, we strain to glimpse the mercy-seat, and find you kneeling at our feet.
In a topsy-turvy world, we are all redeemed by love, for the power of divine love turns our world upside-down and sets it the right way up, God's way. And as we struggle to grasp the enormity of God's love, Our Lord gives us another commandment, as recalled for us in the reading from St Pauls' letter to the Corinthians – to taste his precious body and blood in the bread and wine of this Eucharist, in remembrance that he died for us. This, Paul tells us, is what he received from the Lord Jesus that on the night when he was betrayed he took a loaf of bread. And as St Paul receives it, so do we, in the Upper Room, in the real presence of Our Lord, proclaiming his death until he comes. So on this holy night, we gather here and receive a foretaste of the heavenly banquet to which we are called.
As we re-live the happenings of that momentous night, with Resurrection light illuminating the dark confusion of the next few hours, we stay with Christ, watching with the disciples as they try to stay awake through Christ's agony in the Garden of Gethsemane; we loiter with Peter in the courtyard of the High Priest's House, we gaze in disbelief as the crowds bay for blood and we take that long stumbling walk along the Via Dolorosa, to watch with breaking hearts as the image of God is revealed in the face of a suffering man dying on the cruel cross. And as we lift up our voices with that of the Roman centurion, Truly this man was the Son of God! we enter into the silent solitude of the tomb, that we may also be there, at daybreak on the third day, ready to greet the risen Christ and to usher in his rule of love, to be part of his Kingdom established for ever.
The three days begin now, in stillness and quiet. And as Christ finishes teaching, he says to his followers, Rise, let us be on our way. Amen

The other day I got home to find a long brown box that had slipped through the letter box hole.
I opened it and let out a little squeal!
I had a received a teeny tiny Christmas tree in the post from Bloom & Wild's Christmas collection.
How on earth does a Christmas tree fit in a box you ask?
That's a good question! I was intrigued too.
The tree was very been carefully wrapped so all it's branches lay quite flat. When you take the tree out of the box, it just required a little tszujing to puff it back up again and you have to remould the soil (in a plastic bag) so it can stand upright.
While I'm talking about the packaging, can we just stop a minute and swoon over the beautiful box? As well as the beautiful wrap inside, the box has all these cute little festive notes written all over it. I felt like a little kid opening a present on Christmas Day inspecting the box and opening all these secret parcels inside!
The inside of the box which is a shade of eggshell blue which is such a nice touch as I must profess that I'm not a huge fan of the typical red for Christmas. It also so happens that the pale blue box matches the color scheme of my Christmas decorations to a T!
Apart from the Christmas tree, there is also a little fabric pot to put your tree in and also some moss to wrap around the base of your tree and hide the plastic bag. You will also find some instructions on how to put the tree together and care for it too.
As soon as the tree arrived, I whipped out all the Christmas decorations, put on the Christmas carols and started decorating the house. Mr TUQ came home to find the house lit with lights and we had a little bubbles to celebrate the start of the festive season (Mr TUQ doesn't like mulled wine, otherwise I definitely would have made that!). Even though the tree is small, I can still smell the pine needles wafting through the house.
I am already thinking about who else I'm going to send these little Christmas trees too! I have a little two year old friend who I know would adore opening and decorating this tree!
If you would like to send someone some festive cheer through the mailbox then have a look at Bloom & Wild's Christmas Trees and Wreaths here. They have also kindly provided a discount code TUKU7 if you would like to use it!
Thank you to Bloom & Wild for sending me this lovely parcel my way.

Recorded an episode of DomainSherpa with the guys yesterday and I'll give you a sneak peek. There are going to be 4 portfolios. One of the portfolios is pretty well put together. I'm not positive as to when or how much they each invested but it appeared like they were all recent additions. Meaning that they had purchased most of the names in the last 5 years. I could be wrong. But its going to be a good example of what to buy and what not to buy. Look for it soon. PS Congrats to Flippa for getting the Glitter site sold. Great for the company Here are today's names.

GoodAndBadNews.com 16.6K backlinks for under $50 doesn't seem like a bad deal
GrabAndRun.com One bidder. Not a bad marketing name for the price

Well I didn't drink last night, even though the thought passed through my mind driving home again:
"Hey, you're not actually doing much tonight, you could easily have a drink then stop tomorrow!"
"Shut up"
"Seriously, it'll be fine. I know you've had a hard day, you're anxious about school tomorrow AND driving all night taking everyone on holiday. Getting there on time, packing the car. Have a drink, relax!"
"Maybe… maybe you're right…"
"You know I'm right."
"No, wait….. WHAT? You're an idiot. If I drink I'll be even more hungover and tired. How will I drive for 4 hours in the dark tomorrow like that? Also, you know I'm stopping. We've talked about it for days now. What is wrong with you?"
"True but…."
When people who don't understand this affliction (my wife included) say 'Just stop drinking' I don't think they grasp just how tiring this internal verbal battle is and how easy it is to just give up and drown it out with alcohol. I find this the hardest thing about the first few days of sobriety, waiting for my brain to face up to the fact it is not having a drink.
That and the sweats. Feeling like my skin is on fire. Bed drenched with sweat and turning the pillow over when I wake up to try and hide it from my wife and kids. I think I'll get a few more days of this before it subsides.
Tldr: Getting through the first few days is a massive mental and physical battle. Don't underestimate how hard it will be. Do almost anything but drink to get through it. It gets better…

Wordless Wednesday: Bodine breaks his fast
Posted by
Donna Black-Sword
Bodine, the benevolent ruler over the realm of Black Sword, breaks his fast with his minions.
We've discovered over these past few weeks with our new feline family member, that the term
confident cat
is synonymous with
one obnoxious son-of-a-queen
. He fears neither man nor dog. Yep, pretty much what we were looking for in a cat, I think.

Why Governor (Doctor) Howard Dean Is Good for Democrats
President George Bush was re-elected to a second term largely because of the public's fearful perceptions about the heinous September 11, 2001, attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City, but also, frankly, due to the results of his 2000 election by default. In other words, if Vice-President Al Gore had justifiably won the 2000 US election, I sincerely doubt our President George Bush II would be our country's sovereign executive today, the September 11th attacks notwithstanding. So, why did Al Gore loose in 2000? He lost because of a lousy US Supreme Court decision, but also because he left his Democratic leftist friends out in the cold by pandering to the political center. As a result, we are living with a US world leader who has a hard time speaking without cue cards but who subsequently led our nation into a devastating war against a country which didn't do anything to us personally. Iraq, particularly, and significantly, had nothing to do with the September 11, 2001, attacks. Nevertheless, the terrorists' leader Osama Bin Laden who orchestrated those and other suicidal maniacs continues to live and taunts us from his hideout mountain holes- far from Iraq- in the Afghanistan/Pakistan region. Which is to say, I believe the Democratic National Committee (DNC) made a wise choice when Governor Howard Dean, or Dr. Dean, or ex-Democratic presidential candidate Dean was elected to lead our party into the future. Dr. Howard Dean, a physician and past governor of the US New England state of Vermont, showed the cowering Democrats how to rule the party when he woke up a disgruntled minority of Americans during the 2004 national primary elections. He speaks directly to those of us who want to see President George Bush checked when it comes to his unbridled use of executive privilege. Moreover, Governor now DNC leader Dean will take his message to all Democrats. He will unify us and energize us. He won't pander to us centrists who voted for Vice-President Al Gore while the other "year 2000 Democrats" went with the "Greens", thereby giving their 2000 vote away to the benefit of now President Bush. Dean speaks in coherent sentences and he also shows emotion - something very few politicians can do with credibility. Congratulations to Governor and Doctor Howard Dean! I support you for the leader you are. After all, as leader of what everybody now seems to call the "blues" (I always liked "blue" better than "red", anyway), let's act like we care. Let's get as excited as our new party leader and scream for freedom for the American people. Freedom of the press, Freedom for security in our old age, Freedom for universal primary health care for all citizens and Freedom to protect us from ridiculous labels like "red" and "blue", when we are all "red-white-and-blue". Minority parties are supposed to act like rebel rousers, and not behave like watered down versions of those who we politically oppose. Oh yes, and it's about fund raising too - Governor Howard Dean will do well there, too. Yes indeed, on policy, on being a proud Democrat and on the other resource issues called the "milk of politics" $$$$, Governor Howard Dean is Good for Democrats. You Go Doctor Dean! Here's my scalpel; we'll suture the patient after we surgically fix this country's right wing fanatics, and use a red-white-and-blue dressing to clean things up. Governor Howard Dean will lead us into the compassionate healing all Americans believe in - Freedom and Justice for us all.

text: Buddy of mine who works for Linc Group sent me this: The Linc Group Installs Next-Generation Electric Vehicle Charging Stations at South Coast Air Quality Management District in Southern California NEW YORK, NY – Aug.22, 2011 – The Linc Group ("Linc"), an ABM Industries (NYSE: ABM) company, continues its leadership position in installing of electric vehicle charging stations, with its most recent installations in Southern California. The stations were commissioned by the South Coast Air Quality Management District (AQMD), the regional air pollution control agency for Orange County and major portions of Los Angeles, Riverside, and San Bernardino counties. Linc completed installation of the EV (electric vehicle) charging stations just two weeks after being awarded the project by AQMD. The new stations provide free charging services for all drivers of EVs, including AQMD employees and the public. The charging stations are designed to work with all types of plug-in electric vehicles. The new charging stations, along with other charging stations across the state, can be quickly located via an iPhone®, iPad and iPod touch application, which can be downloaded free of charge from the iTunes App store. The App will also locate alternative fueling stations for hydrogen, propane and natural gas. Ken Sapp, vice president of ABM Energy said, "Zero-emission and low-emission plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) provide a great driving experience with little to no emissions and also help the U.S. reduce its dependence on foreign oil. Widespread consumer adoption of the newest plug-in vehicles will largely depend on having adequate charging infrastructure where drivers need it most. ABM has installed hundreds of EV charging stations across the country and we are pleased to be doing our part to increase the rapid deployment of EV infrastructure in California." "Providing dependable, advanced energy-related services is at the heart of ABM's commitment to all of our clients. We will continue to work with cities and organizations across the country to create greater access to these next-generation charging stations for drivers of electric vehicles."

Being the researcher and the phenomenon – VoterMedia.Org
I was briefly reading a couple of notes by Sean Orr (Beyond Robson) and Rebecca Bollwitt (Miss604 on Radio Zoom) on the work of Dr. Mark Latham, founder of VoterMedia.Org and I thought to myself "hey, I haven't even talked to Mark yet since I came back". I probably should do it soon.
I have to admit that when I was nominated to participate in the Vancouver Election Blog Awards, I was pretty flattered. It made me feel as though my content was deemed worthy and relevant (in regards to my coverage of political issues, particularly municipal elections in Vancouver).
Truth be told, as someone who has taught public policy, at some points during the VoterMedia project, I have felt both like the researcher and the phenomenon under study. Given my training and education, I am aware of the behavioral mechanisms that underlie the project itself, encouraging bloggers to create guides to educate the public for a better, more informed decision-making process.
Given that I understand how the project works, the hypothesis would be that if I wanted to be rewarded with a monetary incentive, I would be interested in creating such guides. And truth be told, I *do* like monetary rewards But the thing is, my blog is rather personal and while I do have written a fair number of posts on municipal and Canadian politics, and on public policy/water policy as they pertain to Vancouver, I still primarily blog about myself (yeah, you can call me self-absorbed but truth be told, I am not really)
I just want to say that the project has a great underlying platform and it would be great if we (bloggers) kept our readers well informed, so that they can make choices that they feel are more educated and based on data rather than just purely political affiliation or random voting.
And I know that everyone will want me to link to Kevin Grandia's Vote for Environment site (a lot of my off-line friends have already emailed me saying "hey Raul, can you link to this?") so here is the link. The foundation of Vote For Environment is to create patterns of strategic voting (i.e. voting not for whom you are ideologically inclined or whom you'd vote but for whom has more chances of winning).
EDIT – I had written this post weeks ago but somehow kept putting it off and now it's published. Obviously, Vote For Environment's focus was the Federal election (and we all know what happened to that). But you could still vote strategically in the provincial by-election and municipal election.

The Gardening group is a social and educational project.
It is currently open every Thursday between 10.00am and 3.00pm and based close to Herne Hill. The group has an allotment where they grow fruit, vegetables and salad, which they share.
Read more on their blog.
The group also works at the garden at our Rathbone offices and on some local community gardens in West Norwood. Group members learn useful skills, some of which can help with independent living. Support at the group is provided by Rathbone support workers. It is open to adults with learning disabilities over the age of 16. We are currently open to referrals. Priority is given to those who get their adult social care packages with Rathbone or who reside in Lambeth, but we do consider other referrals.

It dereferences a NULL pointer if the registry database contains a service without a display name. The callers can't do anything about that. Both callers expects that if the display name is not explicitly set, the key name should be used as the display name - it looks like a general rule (I've just found that QueryServiceConfig also needs such a feature). Alternatively, code could be added to load_service_config and CreateService to set lpDisplayName to service->name if the display name is not present in the registery. However, this would create a side-effect not present on Windows - this display name would be written to the registery after e.g. a ChangeServiceConfig. Mikolaj Zalewski

David Harmer, the Republican candidate for Congress in California's special election in their 10th congressional election, does have a chance of winning this election today. While running in a district which has not elected a Republican in decades, their last Congresswoman easily claimed victory with near 70% of the vote, and it is rated D+11, does not seem possible.
Then again, 2009 has not been a normal election year, as we have two interesting Gubernatorial elections on the eastern seaboard, a special congressional election which has the Nation watching in Upstate New York, and the future of the Conservative movement, the Republican party, perhaps even America herself is on the line.
David Harmer is a Conservative Republican businessman, who is concerned with growing deficits, the government attempting to takeover health care, and the threat from Iran & North Korea having nuclear weapons. While the Democratic candidate is a blood sucking poli-tick who is obsessed with elected office, is as liberal as they come, and favors destroying the greatest health care system in the world. Seems like the normal Democrat from California, however, this is not a normal election.
According to a poll released last week, Democrat Lt.Governor John Garamendi is leading Republican David Harmer by a 50-40% margin, with 6% supporting third party candidates, and another 4% are unsure. While 40% of the vote would be something to tout in this congressional district alone, victory can be achieved.
First, the polling methodology is incorrect, as it questioned Republicans as 32% of all respondents, while Republicans made up 34.5% of those who voted in the primary, and historically Republicans tend to show up in larger numbers compared to their share of the registration or the last congressional election in regards to special elections.
Second, David Harmer can win this election if he gets every Republican voter out to the polls, if he makes a last minute appeal to Independents in the district in regards to health care, and if Democrats are a depressed vote this election. While Conservatism has momentum across America in regards to opposing fiscal socialism, will that result in electing fiscal conservatives to Congress? That is yet to be seen.
Third, 45% of all voters aged 18-34 support David Harmer's campaign, while younger voters have historically been unreliable to Republican campaigns, if Harmer can get the youngsters out in this election, and pray for senior citizens to have a strong presence in this election, it could be close.
Besides the fact David Harmer is running a brilliant campaign, he has done well in polling, and Conservatives and Republicans alike are fired up across the Nation, he needs a high voter turnout from the Republican party, a depressed turnout from Democrats, he needs a last minute appeal to Independents, he needs youngsters and senior citizens to come out strong for his campaign, and he needs a little bit of luck.
David Harmer can win this election, please tell all who you know in California's 10th congressional district to support David Harmer for Congress! It is time to stop sitting on the bench, and strong crowding the polls.
Also, if you write on a political blog and you are reading this, please post a message to your readers requesting that they to tell everyone they know in California's 10th congressional district to vote for David Harmer! Every vote counts!
-- Tim K.
Tuesday, November 3, 2009
David Harmer can win today.
David Harmer, the Republican candidate for Congress in California's special election in their 10th congressional election, does have a chance of winning this election today.

MOSCOW (AP) Russia is returning to the top level of the Davis Cup for the first time since 2012 after beating Kazakhstan in a playoff Sunday.
Rain on Friday and bad light Saturday meant a packed schedule Sunday, which began with Kazakhstan's Mikhail Kukushkin beating Russian Evgeny Donskoy to level the match at 1-1. Russia took the lead in the doubles and sealed a 3-1 win when Andrei Kuznetsov beat Kukushin 6-1, 6-2, 6-2.
Russia won the Davis Cup in 2002 and 2006 with the help of star players such as Marat Safin and Yevgeny Kafelnikov, but has struggled in men's tennis in recent years.
Whereas Safin and Kafelnikov both held the world No. 1 ranking during their careers, the highest-ranked Russian man is currently Kuznetsov at 47th in the world.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Project CARS' started by Angeltheartist, May 25, 2015.
How do you remove crowds from game , and if its possible does it help with FPS?
It does help.
Enter the following command in "properties" through Steam: -skipcrowds
Can you give me a little more info on how to remove crowds through steam. Thank you.
Go to your library and right clic on Project CARS, then go to the bottom of the list. Look for:
Set Launch Options...
Then type this in: -skipcrowds (yes, the dash must be included)
Let me know how you make out.
OK I did and working , Now what if I feel all alone and I want the crowds back ?
Can you have more than one command in there?
Yes. Here is another good one:
The xx represent your chosen number. I use 60. So, -fpscap60
Did it help? What kind of FPS improvement have you seen?
I run v sync so I'm already at 60 any others you know of?
A lot of the others are disabled right now but I can post a list for you soon.
Jim, if you have an FPS counter could you check to see how high you Max out during any given point in gameplay? I'm just curious.
You can better use the -fpscap command, vsync introduces input lag.
Yes Jim, Frank is right. It will keep your FPS from spiking in the menus as well. This spiking can introduce more heat into your system. With FPS cap enabled it will run smoother and avoid heat build up. Try it with and without V Sync and see how it goes. You may then be able to increase some graphic settings one at a time to get a little more bang for your buck.
Sorry I hadn't mentioned this earlier.
Apparently so but adaptive doesn't?
Adaptive only makes it worse; the input lag overall is less but it will be more erratic. On normal v-sync the input lag stays constant. So best is to not use it at all, in any form.
I set it to fpscap61 but I had some slight tearing.
Yeh, I sometimes have tearing too, but it doesn't bother me. I rather have tearing once every hour than input lag ^^.
I don't think I drive fast enough to be bothered by input lag though.
You should change your name to Jim "Input lag" Mortality.

Users calling this method will bypass ACLs. Also loading is made more cumbersome in a secure setting because of hdfs privileges. bulkLoadHFiles() moves the data from user's directory to the hbase directory, which would require certain write access privileges set. > Our solution is to create a coprocessor which makes use of AuthManager to verify if a user has write access to the table. If so, launches a MR job as the hbase user to do the importing (ie rewrite from text to hfiles). One tricky part this job will have to do is impersonate the calling user when reading the input files. We can do this by expecting the user to pass an hdfs delegation token as part of the secureBulkLoad() coprocessor call and extend an inputformat to make use of that token. The output is written to a temporary directory accessible only by hbase and then bulkloadHFiles() is called. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.

Still very solid – the new guitar player is definitely a worthy addition to the line-up and it's still 100% Nuclear Assault. This Ep is aggressive. It simply sounds tighter, there are no actual weak songs on "Pounder", everything sounds very homogeneous from start to finish and it has to be listened to in its entirely to be really appreciated. The bottom line is that this is a highly recommendable Thrash Ep. Quite excellent…NUCLEAR IS FKN BACK !!

Apple has been found guilty of conspiring with major publishers to fix the price of e-books.
US district court judge Denise Cote has found Apple guilty of colluding with five major publishers to raise the price of e-books on the iBookstore in a bid to squeeze Amazon, the largest retailer of e-books, out of the market.
Beginning in 2009, Apple met with publishers and agreed with them to sell books on the iBookstore via the agency model, which allows publishers, not the retailer, to set e-book prices. At the time, Amazon sold e-books at a discount price of $9.99 (£6.70) providing publishers only a small profit margin. By allowing publishers to set their own prices on the iBookstore, Apple planned to woo them away from Amazon, eventually forcing the company to raise its own book prices to lure publishers back, thus levelling competition.
The five publishers implicated - Hachette Book Group, Macmillan, HarperCollins, Penguin and Simon & Schuster - all settled damages payments with the US government prior to the Apple verdict. The iPhone maker will now face a secondary hearing, at a yet undetermined date, to decide on the damages it owes to the government and various US states.
In her ruling, Judge Cote said:
"The Plaintiffs have shown that the publisher defendants conspired with each other to eliminate retail price competition in order to raise e-book prices and that Apple played a central role in facilitating and executing that conspiracy. Without Apple's orchestration of this conspiracy, it would not have succeeded as it did in the spring of 2010.
"Apple seized the moment and brilliantly played its hand," Cote continued. "Through the vehicle of the Apple agency agreements, the prices in the nascent e-book industry shifted upward, in some cases 50% or more for an individual title."
Apple has not responded to the ruling. IBTimes UK has contacted the tech giant for comment.

A weekly roundup of what I'm reading, coveting, and listening to.
The Signature of All Things, by Elizabeth Gilbert: I didn't love Eat Pray Love, which is the book Gilbert is most famous for, but The Signature of All Things was seriously one of the most engrossing novels I have ever read. I read 90% of it on the drive home from Breckenridge earlier this month, and I could not put it down. It's about a nineteenth century woman botanist, which sounds boring, but it's NOT. The plot is expansive and detailed, but never feels confusing. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Joy the Baker made poundcake, grilled it, and served it with strawberries on top. YES, PLEASE.
The Girls, by Emma Cline: A fictionalized account of life as a Manson girl. I'm obsessed with true crime, so this was a win for me.
The most recent episode of the Radiolab podcast, Playing God, is incredible. It's about strategies for rationing healthcare in times of crisis: how do you choose who gets oxygen? Who is airlifted out first? When do you stop administering care? There are interviews with clinicians who have made these decisions and clips from a town hall discussion where regular people discuss this moral tangle. Thought-provoking and sad and very, very interesting.
Present Over Perfect, by Shaua Niequist: I absolutely love this author. She is so raw and honest. This book is a collection of essays about prioritizing slow living and family connection over the go, go, go of career hustle. Many of her strategies for coping are faith-based, but her writing style is so open and inclusive that it's easy to make those passages fit with whatever your beliefs are or aren't. A great book to reflect on and relax with before bed.
Tracy from Shutterbean posted about her ladies craft night, and I want to do this soon! Cocktails, snacks, and adult coloring books?! Who's in?
What are you guys reading? I'm always looking for recs.

Obama's war on coal is a war on Wisconsin
The US Chamber of Commerce has four reasons why President Barack Obama's energy proposals are bad for the economy. Number one on the list, higher energy prices.
1. Higher electricity prices
The Washington Post reports that regulating carbon emissions for existing power plants "will raise consumers' electricity prices in the short term as utilities are forced to shutter aging coal plants to comply with stricter pollution limits." This happens to be exactly what President Obama predicted when he was running for President in 2008. Higher electricity rates aren't good when many Americans have a dangerously-low level of emergency savings and aren't in the position to afford rate increases.
Who depends on coal? We do. This chart shows how much energy Wisconsin produces from coal:
Raising the cost of electric generation in Wisconsin will cause rates to go higher for everyone, from job creators to the poorest among us. It's a cruel, hidden tax on Wisconsin residents that will hurt our economy and force many Wisconsin families to struggle with their utility bills.

Queenstown Ski Resorts in Review
Are you planning a New Zealand ski holiday? Find out where you can ski, and which ski field is the best for you and your family near Queenstown.
Are you planning a New Zealand ski holiday? Find out where you can ski, and which ski field is the best for you and your family near Queenstown.
1. Coronet Peak
Located about 20 minutes drive from Queenstown, Coronet Peak is the most accessible with an easier drive than others, not to mention a shorter drive. It has varied terrain which caters to all abilities, including 30% being rated as 'black'. Don't worry, there is loads of blue terrain and some nice gentle greens for those looking for easier options. Coronet Peak night skiing is available on Friday and Saturday nights from early July, and with a few different choices for bars and restaurants, it is known for its apres ski vibe in the afternoons.
2. The Remarkables
Slightly further afield, the Remarkables are accessed by a windy road that is know to be a little hairy, and about 40 minutes drive from Queenstown. It has plenty of green terrain, a few terrain parks including a Burton 'Stash' as well as some steeper shutes and gullies. Definitely go and check it out for a day, but not at the expense of Coronet Peak unless you are spending your day in the park.
3. Cardrona
60 minutes drive from Queenstown (it's scenic, so worth it), Cardrona is full of wide open groomers and has a cool vibe to it. The Cardrona ski school is highly recommended, catering to kids from a small age up to 15 for full day or half day lessons. Cardrona is also the only resort with on mountain accommodation, albeit limited. This is great for the convenience, however at the expense of a choice of restaurants and nightlife.
For a ski holiday in Queenstown, get the NZ Superpass, valid at Coronet Peak and the Remarkables, or the OnePass NZ, valid at Cardrona, Treble Cone, Snow Park and 5 other resorts. Both can be exchanged for a range of other activities.

It was only a matter of time.
I wondered when, just buy the nature of my talking to so many tattooed people, I would approach someone about Tattoosday, having already featured them on the blog.
The answer: seven months.
Here's an excerpt from October 2007:
Does that look familiar? I wrote in October 2007:
The first piece is a classic koi tattoo, done on the front of the calf. There is a dragon on the back of the leg but it is not finished yet, as color still needs to be added.Well, last Sunday, I saw the finished work, not realizing that John had been here previously. I handed him a flier at the grocery store, and he reminded me who he was. He was busy with groceries, but he promised me he'd send photos of the finished work. He estimates that Peter had spent an additional nine hours on the piece since October, making it about 22 hours in total.
The host, John, is from the Bay Ridge area and had his koi inked at Body Art Studios on 3rd Avenue. We know the artist, Peter Cavorsi, who also runs the shop, because he is responsible for one of mine and three of my wife's pieces. I strongly recommend his shop if you live in southwest Brooklyn. His shop is clean and he does very nice work, as you can see from John's koi.
Koi are a traditional part of Japanese tattoo, and are very common subjects n body art because they represent good fortune. Despite their being regular subjects, they seldom are ever one in the same. Like snowflakes, they tend to differ from body to body, and unlike tribal pieces, I don't think I could ever get bored of koi tattoos.
John estimated that this large leg piece, including the dragon on the back of the leg, not pictured and not yet colored, took 13 hours so far. A lot of people don't realize how much time goes into elaborate pieces like these. On shows like Miami Ink, a ten-hour project can be compressed to five minutes of screen time.
That's one thing about the whole "_____ Ink" television experience, the work is edited down so much that many people don't realize how much effort goes into the large quality pieces.
And of course, John came through with these updated shots:
Thanks to John for sharing his finished leg piece with us! Stay tuned!! He also sent me photos of his other tattoos, which will be featured in a later post.

The problem for those control freak clowns is that ten years ago they had at least 95% of the American populace completely asleep. I would estimate that number at the moment to be around 75%. If I am anywhere close to being right, that means that 25% of the population is at least somewhat aware that things aren't as they appear to be. They are asking serious questions and looking for serious answers. Breaking it down even further, I would say that 5% of the population can be described as fully awake and somewhat committed to fully committed. This is something like 15 million Americans and is more than enough. Most importantly, once you are truly awakened you never go back to sleep.

text: Today I decided it was time to cut back to gain better structure and eliminate unwanted shoots. This looks drastic and almost a step backwards but is necessary in gaining good taper, budding and character. I will try and keep wiring to a minimum now and just use clip and grow. This gives better movement and looks more natural than the swoopy lines you get with wiring.

We are studying Unglued by Lysa TerKeurst. (This isn't a commercial for Lysa by any means, but if you struggle with weight loss --- read Made to Crave!) I follow Lysa on twitter...and if you follow me @RegisterMrs, you'll see quite a few re-tweets. Today Lysa chatted with us from Florence, Italy where she sat near one of the old city walls. As we watched, of course, my mind went to the Great Wall of China. Although Italy is certainly on the bucket list, I can't help but feel that most walls pale in comparison.
Walls are mentioned over and over again in the Bible. To stand next to any wall that men have constructed is a reflective experience. You admire the work effort and dedication of those who toiled. You try in your mind to grasp the primal need for protection that motivated the mission. You grapple with the oppression that existed for the laborers. Despite trying, in our free land and culture, we really can't get our mind around it.
Even before this Joshua questioned God, "Are you for us or for our enemies?" God responds that he is Lord and Joshua fell down in reverence. Often God allows us to reach the wall - to reach the place of questioning his goodness to us. He wants us to come again and again to the choice -- will he be Lord of our life even when it doesn't make sense?
God was patient with the Israelites. Forty years of wandering. But, even as he waits the question is the same. Will we recognize him as an all powerful God? If so, in his own timing and ways that we can't understand --- He is on our side.

With co-runner of Geek & Sundry Sheri Bryant and Sam and Jordan of their new show Fetch Quest, Felicia Day offered fans a taste of things to come. With a quick video showing off some of the new shows for 'season two': Felicia's Ark, Space Janitors, Fetch Quest, TableTop, and Player One(s).
Sheri offers Sam and Jordan a chance to talk about how they came to work with Geek & Sundry with their new show: Fetch Quest before getting to audience questions.
Sam: Like all shows on Geek & Sundry, Felicia goes to people's houses and knocks on their door when people are chosen, kind of like Publisher's Sweepstakes. She has a big check, it's amazing.
Jordan: Not that big.
Felicia: It's still web video guys.
Jordan: Sam and I worked together on another video game goof-show called Game Stain and I think the Geek & Sundry folks saw that and liked it, and kind of wanted a comparible version with a Geek & Sundry spin. So we assembled with that old team and some of the best writers we knew that were serious gamers to put this together.
Sam: In case you didn't catch in it the clip, it's basically sketches about games, songs about games, lots of music in it, so if you like games or know that games exist you will find something funny in this.... It's animated, a lot of the voices you hear are from really cool comedians as well as the voice actors from the actual games we're spoofing on.
Felicia: And you had said something really cool about the animator on the show?
Jordan: Yes, his name is D0mix, with a zero, instead of an "o". He has a really cool web cartoon that's very confessional and personal, it's all about his personal life, his dating embarrassments... he always slips in this terrific video game references. Even though his show isn't about that, he's a hardcore gamer.
In Wil Wheaton's absence (there was a huge TableTop event the following day that he was hosting and preparing for), Felicia takes over the duties of offering up what the next season of TableTop has in store for fans. On the premiere episode next they are playing Formula D, a game out of all the others, she said was her favorite. A claim you easily believed as you watched her geek out over the small details of the game. 'A lot of the games are like that', she tells us, they tried to find games people had never seen before for this season. When asked about the Cards against Humanity game, they worry that it might be a bit negative to have on the show, but that Wil loves it and they often play it at events.
An audience member asks about the possibility of them having author guest stars on Vaginal Fantasy (a book review group meeting on video once a month to discuss books in the a genre Felicia has coined 'vanginal fantasies'). She seems hesitant about the idea, thinking that having authors there in front of people will keep everyone from really offering the full opinions on books.
A gentleman in a 'The Wesley Crushers' t-shirt asks what some of the bigger challenges are as the channel grows. Felicia hands this one off to Sheri, who keeps everything going behind the scenes as a business.
It's a good question as we think about growth and how we keep out integrity of the brand and at the same time doing more shows... a couple initiatives we are doing this year is possibly going off youtube as well and maybe venturing into television and into tech. We don't have an app yet, but we will.
We are small and we want to grow, but at the same time we want to our brand to stay little and intimate and still reflect all of Felicia's tastes... we're not going to grow like this (pointing straight up) we're going to grow like this (branching out like a tree).
Felicia and Sheri go on to talk about new show concepts after a fan asks her 'what's next after the Guild?' telling us that they have a few shows in production now and they hope to have some big announcements at SDCC this year.
My write-up can't do the panel justice. Questions from the audience cover all manner of subject and the panel rolls with every twist and turn with hilarious repsonses. If you ever have a chance to check out one of the Geek & Sundry panels at a con, do so. It's as much entertainment as information and one of the best panels I've seen.
The new shows start today with Felicia's Ark, check out the Geek & Sundry channel for new shows daily.

URL Rewrite Module 2.0 for IIS 7 – Beta
Today IIS team has released the URL Rewrite Module 2.0 for IIS 7 – Beta. This is an incremental release that includes all the features from version 1.1, and adds support for outbound response rewriting. More specifically, it can be used to:
- Replace the URLs generated by a web application in the response HTML with a more user friendly and search engine friendly equivalent
- Modify the links in the HTML markup generated by a web application behind a reverse proxy.
- Fix up the content of any HTTP response by using regular expression pattern matching
Install the URL Rewrite Module 2.0 Beta
or, download:
URL Rewrite Module 2.0 for IIS 7 – Beta (x86)
URL Rewrite Module 2.0 for IIS 7 – Beta (x64)
- URL Rewrite v1.0 and v2.0 cannot be installed side-by-side.
- URL Rewrite v1.1 and v2.0 cannot be installed side-by-side.
- If URL Rewrite v1.0 or v1.0 is already installed, uninstall it before proceeding with installing URL Rewrite Module v2.0 Beta.
New Features
URL Rewrite Module 2.0 includes the following key features:
- Rules-based response rewriting engine. Outbound rules are used to express the logic of what to compare parts of the response with and what to do if comparison was successful. Web server and site administrators can use outbound rules to define complex response rewriting logic.
- Rewriting within the content of specific HTML tags. Instead of scanning the entire response for a particular match, the rule can be configured to look only inside of certain HTML tags, such as <a>, <img>, etc. That way the pattern is greatly simplified and the process of applying the rule to the content is much faster comparing to applying the pattern to the entire response.
- Pre-conditions for outbound rules. Applying rewrite rules on every response is an expensive operation and is not necessary in majority of the cases. Pre-conditions are used to check the response metadata to determine if outbound rules evaluation should be applied.
- Setting of server variables and HTTP headers. Various IIS server variables and HTTP request headers can be set by using rewrite rules.
- Tracking capture groups across rule conditions. The conditions back-referencing logic in URL Rewrite 1.1 worked only against the last matched conditions. In v2 it is possible to configure back-referencing logic to work against all matched conditions.
- Logging of rewritten URLs. The module can be configured to log the rewritten URL in IIS W3C logs as opposed to logging an originally requested URL.

I have a problem on my IIS7 with this release, it is the first time I am trying this, and no luck so far, just would not work. Running on server 2008, latest patches etc.
This is my web.config entry:
The current URL in the browser looks like this -> http://localhost/myapp/genericpage.aspx?pid=sample
But want it to look like this -> http://localhost/myapp/sample/genericpage.aspx
What am I doing wrong? Any help would be much appreciated.
ruslany responded on 30 Jul 2009 at 3:48 pm #
Can you please XML encode the rewrite rules and then re-post them in the comment?

This looks like a really good feature -do you have any data on the performance impact of parsing and modifying output? I appreciate that its server specific but any info would be of interest.
ruslany responded on 14 Apr 2010 at 11:47 pm #
Steve: there will be a performance impact caused by parsing and modifying an output. It depends on how many matches are found in the output and what kind of request it is. For example if it is a static file then the performance impact is more noticeable because statis files are super fast on IIS. If it is a database bound dynamic application then the outbound rewriting is usulally not the performance bottleneck.
I do not have any numbers to share – I recommend to just set up the rules and do a load test on your application to see how much it affects it.

i want to rewrite it as
i have been using rewrite module 1 and everything worked perfectly but since i installed version 2.o i cant even get simple static urls to rewrite / redirect correctly. I would appreciate any suggestions on how to get this working.


text: mTOR service suppresses autophagy by phosphorylating ULK1 in S757 and suppressing its enzymatic activity. through inhibiting JNK and AMPK in a TAK1-reliant manner. kinase assay and in cell tradition, and that inhibition of H6E1 activity by A77 1726 qualified prospects to the responses service of the PI-3 kinase path [32]. Right here we record that mTOR responses service by A77 1726 or PF-4708671 do not really lessen but rather caused autophagy. We also discovered that A77 1726-caused autophagy was mediated through suppressing T6E1 activity, leading to service of AMPK and JNK through TAK1 consequently, and that service of AMPK and JNK both led to A77 1726-caused autophagy. RESULTS A77 1726 induces autophagy Our recent study showed that A77 1726 suppresses S6K1 activity and subsequently induces feedback activation of PI3K, AKT, and mTOR in A375 cells [32]. Since mTOR activation suppresses autophagy [6], we tested if mTOR feedback 467214-20-6 manufacture activation by Mouse monoclonal to CD29.4As216 reacts with 130 kDa integrin b1, which has a broad tissue distribution. It is expressed on lympnocytes, monocytes and weakly on granulovytes, but not on erythrocytes. On T cells, CD29 is more highly expressed on memory cells than naive cells. Integrin chain b asociated with integrin a subunits 1-6 ( CD49a-f) to form CD49/CD29 heterodimers that are involved in cell-cell and cell-matrix adhesion.It has been reported that CD29 is a critical molecule for embryogenesis and development. It also essential to the differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells and associated with tumor progression and metastasis.This clone is cross reactive with non-human primate A77 1726 also suppressed autophagy. Unexpectedly, A77 1726 induced LC3-II lipidation in a dose-dependent manner in A375 (Figure ?(Figure1A),1A), MCF-7 breast cancer cells (Figure ?(Figure1B),1B), and C2C12 myotubes (Figure ?(Figure1C).1C). Rapamycin included as a positive control was less effective than A77 1726 to increase LC3-II levels in A375 cells (Figure ?(Figure1A).1A). Leflunomide, the parental drug of A77 1726, increased LC3-II levels too in A375 cells in a dose-dependent manner (Figure ?(Figure1D).1D). Increased LC3-II lipidation could be observed 8 hr after the addition of A77 1726 and lasted up to 48 hr in A375 cells (Figure ?(Figure1E).1E). Confocal microscopic fluorescence analysis revealed that LC3 formed autophagosomes in A375 cells in the presence of A77 1726, leflunomide, or rapamycin (Figure ?(Figure2A).2A). Enumeration of autophagosomes showed that A77 1726, leflunomide, and rapamycin all significantly increased the number of puncta (Figure ?(Figure2B).2B). Increased numbers of autophagosome puncta were noticed in MCF-7 cells treated with A77 1726 also, leflunomide, or rapamycin (data not really demonstrated). To determine if improved LC3-II lipidation was credited to the stop moving of autophagy flux or was certainly credited to the 467214-20-6 manufacture induction of autophagy, we 467214-20-6 manufacture tested the impact of colchicine and bafilomycin about A77 1726-induced autophagy. As demonstrated in Shape ?Shape1N,1F, A77 1726, colchicine or bafilomycin only increased the amounts of both LC3-We and LC3-II. Mixture of A77 1726 with bafilomycin or colchicine improved the percentage of LC3-II to LC-I additional, likened to bafilomycin or colchicine only. These total outcomes recommend that A77 1726 induce autophagy, and that improved LC3-II amounts are not really credited to the inhibition of the autophagy flux. Shape 1 A77 1726 raises LC3-II appearance Shape 2 Induction of autophagosomes by A77 1726 As an inhibitor of DHO-DHase, A77 1726 prevents pyrimidine nucleotide activity [33]. To determine if improved LC3-II lipidation was credited to pyrimidine nucleotide exhaustion, we examined whether exogenous uridine clogged A77 1726-caused LC3-II lipidation. According to our previous studies, exogenous uridine added into rapidly proliferating cells or injected into mice can be readily 467214-20-6 manufacture uptaken by cells and normalize intracellular pyrimidine nucleotide levels [24, 26] Uridine (200 M) itself had no effect on LC3-II levels and did not block A77 1726- (Figure ?(Figure3A)3A) or leflunomide-induced (Figure ?(Figure3B)3B) LC3 lipidation in A375 cells. Uridine had also no effect on A77 467214-20-6 manufacture 1726- or leflunomide-induced LC3-II lipidation in MCF-7 cells (Figure ?(Figure3C).3C). Moreover, brequinar sodium (BQR), a potent inhibitor of pyrimidine nucleotide synthesis, did not increase but rather slightly decreased LC3-II lipidation (Figure ?(Figure3D3D). Figure 3 A77 1726 increases LC3-II levels independent of pyrimidine nucleotide depletion and the feedback activation of the PI-3 and MAP kinase pathways A77 1726-induced autophagy is independent of the feedback activation of the PI-3 and MAP kinase pathways Our recent study showed that A77 1726 induces the feedback activation of the PI-3 and MAP kinase pathways; and that PLX4720, an inhibitor of Raf kinase, and U0126, a MEK inhibitor, block A77 1726-induced phosphorylation of.

0 of 1 people found the following review helpful:Why bother?, August 16, 2016
by FraterThere's something almost beautifully ironic about writing a bad game which is supposed to be about stopping people from making bad games. I really wish I could believe that this game is badly written on purpose, that the empty locations, direction bugs and early guess-the-verb puzzle that I wasted a good half-hour on before deciding this game had taken enough time, was written badly on purpose as an ironic joke.
At least then there would be some purpose to it. Even still, a joke like that belongs as an independent release, not in a competition where it takes valuable time away from games that actually have substance. This game is just bad. There is nothing else to it. Not to mention the whole Slan Xorax idea, which was lost on me, sounds like an attempt at a juvenile in-joke plot. I can only guess that Slan is an author of games that Sartre, at least, thinks are bad and this is some sort of poor homage to him.
As mentioned in the capsule, the locations lacked description. In one case, where exits actually were described, they were described wrong (the lab was said to be south-east, it was actually west), and I ran into a wall quite fast. That might be in some parts related to me poor problem solving ability, but nothing about this game gave me any desire to try harder, so I guess it doesnt matter in the end.
This is the kind of game I wish id bought, so I could self-righteously demand my money back.
If youre not judging, don't play it. There are so many good games out there.

Resources for Postpartum moms
Congratulations Mama! You did it. You carried your baby for 10 months and now he or she is here. There are plenty of other websites that can give you information on how to feed your baby, how much sleep they need, and when to go to the doctor when there is a fever or a sniffle. A few of our favorites include Babycenter.com, Askbaby.com, and Parents.com. It is a good idea to bookmark your favorites just in case you can't ask another mom. Even if this is your first or fifth baby it's helpful to have this info handy because we tend to forget and things alway change.
While we know that having this information is essential, it is just as important during this time to know how to take care of yourself. Trust us, by taking care of your own health and wellness needs you are taking care of your baby.
A lot of moms have a change in their mental health after having a baby and we want you to know that YOU are NOT alone and with help you will feel better in time. The continuum of perinatal mood disorders during pregnancy and after delivery ranges from "baby blues" to postpartum mood disorders and postpartum anxiety. The symptoms of both baby blues and postpartum depression include irritability, anxiety, crying, sadness and mood swings; although baby blues is more prevalent and the symptoms occur within the first few weeks after delivery, are less severe and most often do not require treatment other than self-care. PMAD's can occur up to a year after delivery and the duration and intensity of the symptoms are more severe. PMAD's most often requires treatment by a licensed professional or physician and getting proper treatment is essential for you and your babies well-being.
