Roche targets DNA sequencing technology in $350 million deal for Genia
Drug-development powerhouse Roche will buy DNA sequencing system developer Genia Technologies Inc. for as much as $350 million, according to terms of a deal disclosed Sunday.
Roche, the Swiss parent company of South San Francisco's Genentech Inc., whose $6.7 billion bid was rejected two years ago by gene-sequencing equipment maker Illumina Inc., will pay $125 million upfront for Mountain View's Genia. It will pay Genia shareholders up to $225 million if Genia's semiconductor-based, single-molecule, nanopore technology hits certain milestones.
Genia, whose backers included Life Technologies (bought earlier this year by Thermo Fisher Scientific), is part of a wave of companies seeking to lower the cost and increase the sensitivity of DNA sequencing. The technology gives researchers — and potentially doctors themselves — more opportunities to peer into the alphabet soup that is genetic data to determine diseases in individuals.
One of the more compelling technologies in the DNA sequencing space involves nanopores, or tiny channels through which molecules pass and are measured. Just last month, for example, Quantapore Inc. of Menlo Park scored a $35 million investment for its nanopore system of potentially thousands of these wells, which are smaller than the diameter of a human hair.
Genia was started in March 2009 by Stefan Roever and three others to develop a nanopore sequencing system that uses integrated circuits that enable real-time analysis of DNA without the need for optics, fluids or time-consuming sample preparation like labeling and amplification. The system's chip is kind of like a camera sensor that measures electrical current rather than light.
"If sequencing is cheap enough, you can sequence everything at once," Roever, Genia's CEO, told the San Francisco Business Times in September. "If there's an HIV infection, that would show up as an RNA viral sequence, and you can see it in time to treat it with antiretroviral drugs. When you see antibodies, it's almost too late to treat it."
Genia's NanoTag platform was developed in conjunction with Columbia University and Harvard University, thanks to a $5.25 million National Institutes of Health grant announced in September.
Renowned Harvard genetics professor George Church is on Genia's scientific advisory board.
Genia has about 25 employees.
Roche and Genia did not say Sunday when their deal is expected to be completed, but Roche said Genia will become part of its sequencing unit.
"We're at the intersection of semiconductors, biology, chemistry and electrochemistry technology. It's a quintessential Silicon Valley company," Roever said in September. "These technologies have never been combined in quite the same way."

Summer is a time for fun. So, why not a few delightfully light reads to complement?
Easily Amused by Karen McQuestion is the story of Lola, an almost 30-year-old whose great aunt has left her a sprawling house on a street full of caring neighbors. Sounds perfect? Not to Lola, who just wishes for a little more privacy and a few less invitations to neighborhood events. The real catalyst comes when Lola's frustrating younger sister, Mindy, announces her own wedding will be on Lola's 30th birthday. Lola must have a date for this occasion – not just any date, but someone to show up Mindy and someone willing to go along with a (fake) announcement of engagement. Enter Ryan, who seems to just fall from the sky and could possibly be the answer to Lola's problems. Lola is a funny, self-deprecating narrator, and McQuestion's writing is smart and fast-paced with a clever plot.
Another book for summer entertainment is Point, Click, Love by Molly Shapiro. This fun tale follows four friends, Claudia, Annie, Maxine and Katie, in Kansas City. Where each of these women are in their lives and where they want to go makes for amusing stories about love, marriage, relationships and everything in between. This is Shapiro's debut novel, and it has well-developed, likeable characters plus sophisticated writing. She also does a great job of adding context to a Midwestern city where not many stories are set. Comparisons have been made to Sex and the City – this book definitely celebrates women's independence and exploration of choices.
Enjoy taking these two books to the beach or any other place (Kansas City?) you may find yourself this summer. Both provide a fun story with no additional heavy baggage.

Okay I just felt I had to post this here. I wrote it when I was 18 making fun of Joon's illness.
I confess, I have a dirty mind because I keep thinking up of kinky stuff.
Sorry Johnny Depp fans, no Sam in this due to this story taking place before he walks into their lives.
This story is based on the MGM movie Benny & Joon starring, Mary Stuart Masterson, and Aiden Quinn. Benny spends his life taking care of his Schizophrenic sister, Joon and fixing cars. The condition will not be mentioned in this story just like it was never mentioned in the movie. In this story, Joon is too sick to remember to use the bathroom so she is always going in her pants and Benny has to keep cleaning her up and the mess and wash her clothes. He has to come up with a solution to fix the problem so his life will become a little less complicated. The story takes place in Washington in a city called Spokane that is near the border of Idaho.
Here is the cast that played the characters in the movie that will be in my story:
Benny: Aiden Quinn
Joon: Mary Stuart Masterson
Eric: Oliver Platt
Thomas: Dan Hedaya
Mike: Joe Grifasi
Waldo: Waldo Larson
Dr. Garvey (Joon's psychiatrist): CCH Pounder
Claudia: Liane Alexandra Curtis
Note: No one played Mrs. Larkspur or Mrs. Piltz. Their names were only mentioned in the movie. I'm not sure who Claudia was in the movie but either she was one of Benny's customers at his shop or Eric's wife so I assumed wife. (Edit: She is indeed Eric's wife. Seen a picture of her at IMDB and read the movie script and she had lines in it. I wonder why they would even cut her lines and cut out their child?)
Chapter 1
Joon's Accident
Joon was in her studio painting. She was home alone with a housekeeper, Mrs. Larkspur. Joon could not be left alone because she lit things on fire and she did disturbing things to the public. Joon expressed herself by painting. It was one of her favorite hobbies. Mrs. Larkspur came in the studio to take her to use the bathroom but Joon didn't like it because when she is painting, she does not like people to hang around in there while she is doing it.
"Time to use the bathroom," said Mrs. Larkspur.
Joon did not like the housekeeper because she was hygienically disturbing because her hair smelled.
"Get out!" Joon yelled.
"Not until you use the bathroom," Mrs. Larkspur replied.
"I did already," she yelled.
Joon always thought she went to the bathroom but the truth was; she never did. It was all in her head. She had delusions.
But Mrs. Larkspur grabbed her and Joon got scared. She started to scream and she spat in her face and started to scratch her arm. Mrs. Larkspur got scared and ran out of the room. Joon went back to her painting.
Joon was in her early twenties and was mentally ill. Since her parents have died in a car wreck twelve years ago, she started to have problems. First she started to get depressed and then she went onto being violent and then one day, she started to have delusions. She started to hear voices that weren't real and then she started to do crazy stuff and her problem got so worse, Benny took her to a doctor and she was diagnosed as mentally ill a few months later so she was put on medication for it and she has done better since then, but she still couldn't be left alone.
Soon, she began to wet herself. Joon didn't care if she wet or messed herself because she was too sick to care.
Benny came home from work at six P.M. Mrs. Larkspur told him about Joon's outburst in the art studio when she tried to get her to use the bathroom.
Benny apologized for the incident as she left. Benny went back in the kitchen and made some dinner and then he called Joon to come. Joon put down her paintbrush and came out. Benny saw she had wet her pants.
"You wet again?" he said.
Joon looked down at herself. "Again," she said.
"You have to let Mrs. Larkspur make sure you use the bathroom," Benny replied. "You are a grown woman and grownups don't wet themselves."
Joon didn't care. She went to the fridge and took out the carrots. She got a peeler out of the drawer and sat down at the table. She began to peel them.
"Oh no you don't," said Benny. "You're not eating till you get changed and use the bathroom."
Joon got up and Benny followed her up the stairs. He ushered her to the bathroom. Joon pulled her pants and underwear down and sat on the toilet. Only a little bit of pee came out and then she was done. Benny told her to wipe herself down there with the toilet paper. Joon obeyed and after she was done, Benny led her to her bedroom to get changed into a clean pair of underwear and pants. Benny took the wet ones downstairs to the laundry room. Everyday, he always had Joon use the toilet and he had to wash her sheets everyday because Joon wet the bed every night and he had to deal with her clothes most of the time. He was so stressed about it because his life was complicated. He wished Joon would stop having accidents.


text: It's time the British public and the media took MEPs and the European Parliament more seriously. I should qualify that remark by saying that I am well aware of the tendency of politicians of all shapes and sizes to assume an exaggerated sense of their own importance. However, my plea is not motivated by personal aggrandisement but by the need to project British national interest. On any objective measure there is no doubting that MEPs' political responsibility has increased markedly in the past 20 years since the Maastricht treaty, when co-decision between parliament and Council was introduced, and particularly so since the Lisbon treaty came into force in December 2009, when its powers were extended. Certainly in almost twelve years as an MEP I have noticed far greater interest in and coverage of my work by my London constituents and the media, although ironically foreign media are often more interested in my work than British journalists.

College Football Preview: Miami Hurricanes Host the South Florida BullsNovember 25, 2010
The Miami Hurricanes 2010 football season is coming to a close.
Will they finish this one out strong?
Kickoff: 12:00 PM ET, Saturday, November 27, 2010
Where: Sun Life Stadium, Miami, FL
TV/Radio: ESPN U, WQAM 560
Records: Miami 7-4 (5-3), South Florida 6-4 (3-3)
Line: Miami by 11.5
- It is still uncertain who Miami will start at quarterback. Will they stick with the freshman Stephen Morris or go with Jacory Harris, who is still apparently "recovering" from a concussion that occurred three weeks ago?
- Miami running back Lamar Miller was named ACC Rookie of the Week after rushing for 163 yards and a touchdown against Virginia Tech.
- Miami lineman Brandon Washington was named ACC Offensive Lineman of the Week.
When Miami has the ball:
When the Canes lost Harris to injury a few weeks ago, they transformed into a running football team. The results have been mostly promising and the offensive line has improved each week.
They ran effectively last week in the loss to Virginia Tech, finishing with 262 yards on the ground.
Regardless of who starts at quarterback, Miami shouldn't defer from the run-first mentality. This week will be another good test as the Bulls have a pretty good run defense, giving up just 3.55 yards per rush.
They do need to cut down on the mistakes after turning it over six times last week.
Leonard Hankerson continues to dominate. He has 12 touchdowns (Season record) and 958 yards on the year and will go down as one of Miami's all-time greats at receiver.
When South Florida has the ball:
The Bulls rank 103rd in the nation in total offense with 312 yards per outing.
Miami was run over last week by Virginia Tech (251 yards), so expect South Florida to pound the ball for much of the game.
They have an erratic quarterback in B.J. Daniels who has nine touchdowns against 12 interceptions on the year.
Despite underachieving again this year, Miami would obviously like to finish the season out with a win, get to 8-4, and qualify for a respectable bowl game.
They will win this one big at home.
Miami 34 South Florida 20

Mason Holds Day of Remembrance for Virginia Tech Victims
Posted: April 14, 2008 at 1:00 am, Last Updated: November 30, -0001 at 12:00 am
To commemorate the lives lost on the Virginia Tech campus a year ago, and to acknowledge violence at other universities and colleges throughout the past year, Mason will hold a series of events on Wednesday, April 16.
The events will seek to unite the Mason community while providing a safe venue in which to discourage violence.
Student Government members and student leaders will remember the moment – when the first shots were heard at 7:15 a.m. on April 16, 2007 – by placing white ribbons around the trees throughout the North Plaza and Student Union Building I areas.
At noon, university administrators, students, faculty and staff are invited to the Johnson Center to hear commemorative speeches by Mason President Alan Merten and Student Body President Drew Shelnutt.
The speeches will be followed by a moment of silence and a performance by Laura Mays, a Mason student who wrote a song about the tragedy.
A kiosk will also be set up in the Johnson Center for members of the Mason community to pick up a ribbon or make their own. Staff from Sexual Assault Services and Counseling and Psychological Services will be available to offer support to anyone who needs it. A banner promoting nonviolence will be on display for the Mason community to sign.
At 7:30 p.m., a vigil and night of reflection for the university and surrounding community will be held on the North Plaza. The Student Activities Office will provide candles, and the reflection will be facilitated by a Mason student or staff member.
In addition, Virginia Gov. Timothy Kaine has ordered the state flag be lowered to half-staff for the day and has called for a moment of silence, followed by a tolling of bells statewide, in memory of those killed last year.

The 2nd Los Angeles Animation Festival will take place at the Cinefamily / Silent Movie Theatre in Hollywood (at 611 N. Fairfax) December 2nd through 5th. Its shaping up to be quite an event.
The festival will feature a tribute to stop motion clay innovator Will Vinton, including a screening of his 1986 feature The Adventures of Mark Twain (in 35mm). Opening night will premiere Jan Svankmajer's new feature Surviving Life (photo above) and the fest will premiere screenings of several contemporary international animated features, including the Japanese anime mindblowers Redline and Midori-Ko, the Chinese independent feature Piercing 1, the Czech stop-mo In The Attic and Sylvain Chomet's latest masterpiece The Illusionist. Teddy Newton from Pixar will do a presentation on the making of his short Day & Night. There will panels, parties, shorts and several more features, including two with live musical accompaniment — independent animator Brent Green's experimental feature Gravity Was Everywhere Back Then accompanied by Green and members of Fugazi and Giant Sand; and Rene Laloux's 1973 masterpiece Fantastic Planet with live score by LA indy band Jesus Makes The Shotgun Sound. LAAF will also feature panels, parties and these three contests:
"Unfinished Masterpieces", an opportunity for animators to submit their unfinished projects. Directors of the chosen projects will be allowed to present their work.
"Character Screen-test", a contest where the Best Character gets the prize.
"Dangerous Experiments", an anything goes contest that encourages the most way-out interpretations of the word animation.
A 5-day festival pass is $125, $85 for students with valid ID, while supply lasts. Tickets for most shows are $10. For aspiring filmmakers, there's a November 15th deadline looming for submissions to several contest categories. Further information on the contests, including submission deadlines, can be found at the festival website. Entry is free and all selected works will be programmed in front the festivals features and special presentations. Films will be judged and winners picked by industry juries including animation filmmakers Maureen Selwood, Sheila Sofian, Jen Sachs, Mark Osbourne, Corky Quakenbush, Peter Hannan and others to be announced.

Season 2011-12
The Mail Bag
Financial Fair Play
Can anyone tell me when the new Financial Fair Play rules kick in?
I was reading an interesting article in the Daily Mail yesterday by Martin Samuels regarding this, in which he discusses a number of clubs including Everton.
One point he makes is that it already may be too late for us to get a benefactor...

Also, I'm sure I could find a way round the rules. Like charging my brother £20M for an executive box for a start, as it would simply count as standard operating matchday income in the books. The rules will probably stop clubs running up debts, I doubt it can stop benefactors providing clubs with money.
3 Posted 23/11/2011 at 18:12:23
In a hugely simplified summary, the rules will be enforced from the 2013 - 14 season, but will be based on financial information from next season onwards. There will also be a diminishing amount of leeway in balancing the books until at least 2017 - 18.
Unfortunately, that leeway will be measured in tens of millions, rather than the sort of money that Man City?s owners have been throwing around so, basically, Martin Samuels, is right to point out that anybody expecting us to be able to follow in City?s footsteps is seriously deluded.
There?s a reasonable summary here...
... but there are better ones out there (I couldn?t track down the one I was looking for)

5 Posted 23/11/2011 at 20:33:00
Ipso facto ? we will continue to languish in the doldrums whilst those at the top get even further away. Personally, I don't see anything wrong with someone wanting to pump his own money in to a football club as long as he isn't putting the club at risk à la Leeds and Portsmouth etc.
Also, I could be wrong but my understanding of FFP according to someone on TalkSport the other day was that you just can't spend more than the interest on your debts. Can somebody clear this up?
6 Posted 23/11/2011 at 20:57:23
That way, the big teams would not be able to pay players 250 grand a week and have them sitting on the bench collecting their pay check, and Arteta and Pienaar would still be playing for Everton.
7 Posted 23/11/2011 at 22:04:02
8 Posted 23/11/2011 at 22:17:01
? £190 Million DEBT in ONE year
? £110 million wages a YEAR
? Paying £2½ MILLION wages a year just for a chief executive
It's a DISGRACE!
9 Posted 24/11/2011 at 08:34:08
Putting that disgusting rag to one side, the FFP rules, whilst good in theory, have slightly more holes in them then your proverbial Swiss cheese.
If you look at City as a prime example, the owner(s) already own the club sponsors and the company that will be splashing out for the naming rights. These deals are supposed to reflect the commercial values involved but they are very easy to manipulate in these circumstances.
And, if needs be, a friend of a friend of the owner, second cousin twice removed for example, decided he wants a very expensive box at the Ethiad Stadium, well, ker-ching! The rich get richer etc.....
10 Posted 24/11/2011 at 09:46:26
I think we should sign Becks and get Donovan in on loan. The Lukaku loan deal seems like a reach, not going to happen as long as AVB is under pressure to achive, he will not let him go out on loan, as he needs him in case they suffer in front of goal.
11 Posted 24/11/2011 at 09:59:37
A replacement for Arteta..??
What was it George Best said about him...
12 Posted 24/11/2011 at 09:57:10
"Give every team in the Premier League a budget of (insert financial figure agreeable to all but I think he said £15m) a year and that is their budget for transfers and player salaries. Then we will see who has the better team."
Makes perfect sense to me. The sole problem is that it would restrict business opportunities in a capitalist environment and that would be unfair chaining all 20 teams to that restriction. That said, isn't that what the restrictions being put in place are aiming to do ~ even the field? Except they are far less workable or fair.
13 Posted 24/11/2011 at 10:27:29
14 Posted 24/11/2011 at 10:31:13
"the big teams would not be able to pay players 250 grand a week and have them sitting on the bench collecting their pay check, and Arteta and Pienaar would still be playing for Everton"
Actually Arteta took a pay cut to go to Arsenal and good luck to him. He was a good servant to the club and wanted to play in the Champions League, something we won't be doing anytime soon.
15 Posted 24/11/2011 at 10:56:50
Jimmy... behave!
16 Posted 24/11/2011 at 12:27:19
"Beckham - you can say he's got a good right foot but he's not got a left. "
"Beckham didn't deserve to be elected best player in the world. When he can do something else apart from cross perhaps he will."
"He (Beckham) cannot kick with his left foot, he cannot head a ball, he cannot tackle and he doesn't score many goals. Apart from that he's all right."
True words: Beckham is past it now ? his free kicks last week reminded me of Arteta at his lowest.
17 Posted 24/11/2011 at 15:42:29
First time you have agreed?
Could not bring myself to say the same, but ditto.
18 Posted 24/11/2011 at 15:43:11
19 Posted 24/11/2011 at 16:42:24
20 Posted 24/11/2011 at 17:08:38
City are buying the title this season. How is that different from what Man Utd and Liverpool did? Arsenal didn't have a problem outspending most clubs when they bought the title either. Real and Barca have done nothing but buy titles by cherry-picking the best players in the world for years. Same in Italy.
This has nothing to do with creating a level playing field and everything to do with handicapping further the have-nots. I hope City win every single fucking trophy for the next ten years and really stick it to the clubs that have spent the last 20 years skewing football to suit themselves.
Not that I'm for spending like this. There are two big problems with football at the moment. Money and Character.
The money is obscene and sickening. £250 grand for kicking a ball on a field? Disgusting.
And the character of the idiot, moaning fans constantly calling for people to be sacked or dropped. And the idiot players unable to avoid the money grabbing bimbo/slag in a nightclub and literally proving day after day that they have more money than sense.
This sport is finished. It's become a system of contol.
21 Posted 24/11/2011 at 18:43:03
22 Posted 25/11/2011 at 01:03:31
? I think last January, Beckam said he would not come to Everton having played for Manchester United.
? Everton could not afford his wages.
? Beckham has said this week that he would not play for another Premier League club.
? I think Beckham will keep playing abroad.
23 Posted 25/11/2011 at 07:50:08
Most of what was written about Beckham at his peak was spite because of his lifestyle. He was a great player capable of scoring 15 a season and creating another 30-40. He's won everything going bar international and you can hardly blame him for that. He's played for three of the biggest clubs in the world and is revered by each side's fans. The fact that he sells loads of shirts shouldn't even be a footnote in an outstanding career.
24 Posted 25/11/2011 at 08:33:52
25 Posted 25/11/2011 at 15:11:29
He stands out over here for the obvious reason beyond his name value, technical skill in MLS is sorely lacking which causes Beckham's crossing and corner-kicking to really stand out. In all of MLS only Donovan can match up.
Plus, Arena, intentionally deploys players around Beckham to enable him to jog or lope into space instead of having to work hard for that space as he would if he comes back there.
Can't see an EPL manager doing that for Beckham game in and out, especially as Beckham's body cannot withstand even the 38 game EPL schedule, never mind all the other tournament games.
Myself, I believe all the "move to France" talk simply the routine "Negotiating in the press at the end of a contract" that goes on all the time between player and Club.
Put another way, if the EPL was Beckham's only option, he'd have to retire. This way he can get another 2-3 years as a big fish in the biggest small pond, the USA or a big fish in a tiny pond, France. Can't see him choosing the latter. On the other hand, didn't see him coming to MLS 5 years ago. So who knows?
One thing certain though. David Beckham as a regular in EPL is a non-starter. Those days are gone.
26 Posted 25/11/2011 at 22:52:36
As far as Wenger's comments on giving everyone the same amount of money? Nothing much will change. The well-run Clubs will do well and the rest will be the rest.

With the rapid advancement of implant dentistry in recent years, many complications have been reported; one of the most serious and frequent of these complications is peri-implantitis. Numerous articles have discussed risk factors of peri-implantitis as well as ideas to prevent it; however, a predictable therapy has not yet been developed. Over the years, research has suggested that rough implant surfaces improve osseointegration. This roughness, however, also provides a favorable medium for harboring bacteria once the surface is exposed to the oral environment. When grafting at an implant site after bone resorption, it is extremely difficult to disinfect the surface, thus reducing the chances of a successful grafting procedure. In order to regain the osseointegration, the contaminated surface must be completely removed. The Er:YAG laser is the only known equipment to allow this to be accomplished. This presentation reports on a revolutionary and predictable therapy for peri-implantitis using the erbium laser, which irradiates the implant surface. Accompanied with water micro-explosions, the erbium laser decontaminates the rough titanium oxide surface of the implant without causing a harmful increase in temperature. Animal research has proved its efficacy in restoring osseointegration. In addition, clinical cases of peri-implantitis will be presented that show evidence of favorable bone regeneration around the implant body due to this innovative and predictable therapy.
Atsuhiko Yamamoto, DDS, PhD, is the president of the Perio-Implant Hospital AUTIS in Osaka, Japan, and a lecturer for the Japan Institute for Advanced Dental Studies. He is the director of the Japan Society for Laser Dentistry and an active member of the American Academy of Periodontology and the Academy of Osseointegration.

With Gov. Chris Gregoire announcing this morning she is not running again, the Democrat becomes an instant lame duck with 18 months left in her second term. That doesn't mean she becomes a useless appendage to state government and I suspect the themes of her recent agenda survive.
It's easy to see how her agenda of streamlining state government and earmarking future tax receipts for education as the overall context for the 2012 governor's race debate. Republican Rob McKenna already endorsed a portion of that agenda – while claiming it in his own way – when he announced he is running for Gregoire's open seat on a "new direction" theme last week.

Coolibah Kids (Walgett Pre-School and Long Day Care Centre) is Celebebrating its 10th year of operation in its current form as a Not for Profit Pre School, Long Day Care Centre, After School Care and Vacation Care facility in Walgett.
Throughout this time we have had the pleasure of helping shape the future of many Walgett children and also have had the opportunity to be a part of so many families in such a vibrant little community. Giiven that it is our 10 year Anniversary we felt it was time to celebrate with all the members of our past and present Coolibah Kids family, our community, and guests.

I had considered having a comic with just
random people commenting on the situation with Mr. Verres only being in a couple of panels, but I decided he deserved greater focus. That, and I could only think of one panel where it wouldn't make sense to have him there, and that's easily turned into a deleted scene (well, panel) sketchbook.
His lovely assistant
Evidently, Mr. Verres got to keep his
, Lavender, after he was
. I considered having her not get to transfer with him right away, but I decided there was enough on the various EGS plates spinning without that particular subplot.
Lavender's physique is heavily inspired by
Jessica Rabbit
, and as has been mentioned in previous commentaries, she clearly has a manufactured form. Even if she had a more modest figure with no indications of gender, she's 5'10". Uryuom's are
naturally shorter
than the average human height, with a "tall" Uryuom still being under 5'.
Magical disbelief and belief
poked fun
at hiding the truth about the paranormal before, and while the situation has changed, I feel I'm still poking fun at paranormal cover-ups in fiction.
Basically, I never buy it in stories about the paranormal when people are oblivious to it in spite of it being such a frequent occurrence. It's a suspension of disbelief I'm willing to grant for many things, but I'm very much aware that it's a disbelief that I'm giving rather than just naturally having.
The worst offender (that I know of) is
Ghostbusters 2
. It's just... no. Did the entire city hit its head after the first Ghostbusters? I'm aware it's a comedy, and I'm way more willing to accept ludicrous plot details in comedies, but that was just too much.
Moon landing
In the original vision I had for this comic, it was actually going to end with two panels of Mr. Verres in line at the coffee shop. The people ahead of him were going to be talking about the fire monster fight, and Mr. Verres was going to suggest that it had to be fake, at which point the man would have accused Mr. Verres of thinking they faked the
moon landing
Now, if one believes they faked the moon landing, that's their business. I think they're buying into conspiracy nonsense, but whatever.
I consider it fair warning, however, that if one is going to publicly denounce the moon landing or try to convince me that it was faked, one will very quickly get on my bad side. People worked their asses off, made sacrifices, and some even died during their efforts to reach the moon. If someone is going to proclaim that we never made it there, they better damn well have really solid evidence or
kindly shut the hell up.
Just one man's opinion. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a sudden hankering to watch

Having problems with your Vacuums ?
Hi guys, I have a bissell 9400 2x proheat with a fault. When you turn on the machine it trips the RCD in my house and makes a poping noise, i am a little technical so i had a look inside. The pcb under the handle was damaged with burn marks i unpluged this and tried again and the machine powered up, don't think the rollers moved though. What do i need to change roller motor,pcb?? Help please!! Regards Russ
Answers :
I've seen the same problem in one of these we had in for repair. The pcb in the handle is involved with controlling the roller motor. The problem is with the motor. In my view, this machine is a triumph of design over practicality... The motor is located right at the bottom of the base - making it very vulnerable to getting wet, and as difficult as possible to get to. What happens is that the motor gets wet, rusts and seizes up, and that causes the pcb to burn out (or possibly it's so wet that there's a short circuit). \012
\012So, what do you need? You need a pcb, a brush roll motor, the patience of a saint, a very good memory for what goes where when you reassemble... and a long hard think about whether you'd recommend one of these to a friend!

I've had my Dyson DC14 vacuum cleaner now for approximately 9 months and been very happy with my purchase. However, It is used sparingly maybe twice a week at the very most. The problem is when I try to use the item on my carpet, you have to push really hard to get it to move. It's as though the suction power is far to strong. It certainly doesn't glide as I think it should. It still picks up as usual but I cannot imagine that having to 'force' the machine to move is the normal operating procedu

I recently purchased a Sunbeam Artista EM5900 model coffee machine. I plugged it in and pressed the 'Power' button only to find the power go out. I understand this is short circuiting, so I went and turned the power back on. I then moved the machine to a different powerpoint and plugged it in - the same problem happened and I have tried it countless times on various other powerpoints. Help please?

I had the vacuum cleaner question about the canister and the wand/powerhead... the Kenmore Progressive Vacuum canister model 116.25812 and the canister not powering off without unplugging the vacuum. The solution I received that they both run on their own switch so it is normal makes sense. However, is there a power switch on the canister anywhere? The only way for the canister to be turned off is by unplugging it. Any ideas? One would think there would be a switch. I am new to fixya and hope

Hi! I'm interested in purchasing a G3 model ; however , the seller says that the machine was working perfectly and then when switching power on a while later , the machine was " dead " .

Just tried to use it again, and now I only drips of water will come out of the hand sprayer, if that. I have tried prepping it for up to 15 seconds like the manual says... no luck with that. Also it is making a big puddle on the floor, probably because the brushes on the main unit keep spinning when I am trying to use the hand tool which I dont think they are supposed to do? Can a

I was trying to repair my wife's kitchenaid mixer and took part of it apart, including the back part, where the electrical connections are. The original problem was the plastic gear was damaged -- I finally had the good sense to find the solution for that problem on the internet and replaced the damaged part. But now the mixer just won't turn on. I don't think I damaged anything in the electrical section, but I suspect I either blew a fuse or somehow disconnected something.

Hi, A few days ago I bought a Philips hairdryer (HP4935/22) & have used it only twice. Somehow when I used it this morning some of my hair got caught in the filter at the back of the dryer & the motor slowed down & I think overheated & stopped. Normally the filters come off but I don't think this one does. I haven't turned it back on so as not to possibly damage it even more. I am quite upset as I really love this hairdryer.

A lot of people — especially those who like to cook — are looking to get into the catering business these days. Here are some tips for getting off on the right foot:
Contact your state liquor commission and learn the rules
Most states don't require a special permit to engage in a catering business, but if you're planning to serve liquor, that's a different story. In just about every state, you cannot serve liquor at your clients' events unless either you have a special license — called a "caterer's license" or "off-premises license" — from your state liquor commission. To check out the laws in your state, search online for "(your state) liquor license" or "(your state) liquor permit." Search on the site for "catering" or, better yet, call them during business hours and befriend one of the agents, who usually will be happy to explain the rules to you and send you any necessary forms.
If you are required by state law to obtain a catering permit, ask your state liquor authority to recommend a "facilitator" — these are retired liquor agents who use their inside knowledge of the system to help businesses apply for permits. For a reasonable fee, these folks can save you a lot of time and trouble by making sure your permit application "sails through" the system. Whether or not you are required to obtain a liquor permit, you should warn your clients that your employees will "card" any guest at your clients' events who looks under 21 years of age and you will "cut off" any guest whom you reasonably determine has had too much to drink. Not doing so may expose you to serious legal, and perhaps criminal, liability.
Register for state and local sales taxes
In just about every state, you will be required to collect and pay sales taxes on the fees you charge your customers. If you are catering for a nonprofit organization, they must furnish you with a copy of the "exempt organization certificate" they received from your state tax authority. If they don't have one, you must charge sales tax, no matter how much they beg, plead and whine.
Buy insurance
If somebody slips and falls during one of your events, or loses a fur coat or valuable jewelry, you can bet they will threaten to sue everyone in sight, including you. Ask your insurance broker how much it will cost to obtain basic "errors and omissions" coverage for your business.
Join a catering association
There are several associations of caterers in the United States, such as the International Caterers Association (www.icacater.org) and the United States Personal Chef Association (www.uspca.com). Join as many of them as you can afford. These organizations often provide training programs, cut-rate insurance and other benefits for their members and may even help you get business by listing you in their online directory.
Create a catering contract
Your catering association may have sample forms for these, or a local attorney can prepare one for you for a fee, which will probably be in the $300 to $500 range. Be sure your contract contains a clause:
• Requiring the client to give you a binding estimate (called a "minimum guarantee") of the number of guests not later than 10 business days before the event. If the actual number of guests is lower, you should still be entitled to charge for the guaranteed number of guests;
• Requiring the client to pay you a "cancellation fee" (generally, one-third to one-half the contract amount) if they fail to respond to your inquiries in timely fashion, or cancel the event within two weeks prior to the event date;
• Stating that the client is solely responsible for any injury, property damage, loss or theft that may occur during the event unless caused by your "willful or criminal misconduct";
• Allowing you to terminate the contract due to "circumstances beyond your reasonable control";
• Requiring the client to pay the balance due under the contract either immediately before (preferable) or immediately after the event;
• Stating clearly that "while Caterer will use its reasonable best efforts to perform all services in accordance with generally accepted standards prevailing in the catering profession, there can be no assurance that Client or its guests will be satisfied with the event, or with Caterer's performance."

Yellow & Green
Aug 16, 2012 Web Exclusive
On Yellow & Green, the Savannah, Georgia rock unit's sound continues to evolve in a similar fashion as their two previous color-themed albums. Red Record was a culmination of the cranked sludge metal assault developed on the band's early-career EPs, while Blue Record took listeners on a more nuanced, slightly prog rock ride, with varied approaches toward a still-headbang-worthy endgame. Their new double LP is divided into two halves; each nine-track disc—one Yellow, one Green—has a distinct tone: Yellow is the harder-rocking half, Green is its experimental, moodier sister. Overall a gentler record than its predecessors, Yellow & Green exchanges volume (loudness) for volume (mass): while Blue and Red contained around 45 minutes of music each, this double LP tops a whopping 75 minutes.
Yellow packs more of a punch; tracks such as "Take My Bones Away" and "March to the Sea" are highly melodic blasts of hard rock, not totally unlike some of Blue. Still, Baroness are finding new ways to sound heavy, whether it's through spooky acoustic guitars in "Twinkler" or the winding synths of "Cocainium." Green is a different beast altogether, with long, quiet, atmospheric stretches, post-rock instrumentals and—most notably—several moments of calm beauty. It's hard to decide whether the light, poppy "Psalms Alive" or the soothing closer "If I Forget Thee, Lowcountry" is a bigger surprise.
A straight listen-through can be an overwhelming experience, due to the rock barrage of Yellow clashing somewhat with the up-and-down tonal shifts that occur into Green; each half is more easily digestible taken on its own. It may not be as cohesive as Blue or as lean and mean as Red, but Yellow & Green is an ambitious sprawl of music from a band willing to reinvent themselves with each album. (www.baronessmusic.com)
