Mutant IP$_{3}$ receptors attenuate store-operated Ca$^{2+}$ entry by destabilizing STIM-Orai interactions in $\textit{Drosophila}$ neurons.

Description: This is the final version of the article. It first appeared from The Company of Biologists via http://dx.doi.org/10.1242/jcs.191585
Abstract: Store-operated Ca$^{2+}$ entry (SOCE) occurs when loss of Ca$^{2+}$ from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stimulates the Ca$^{2+}$ sensor, STIM, to cluster and activate the plasma membrane Ca$^{2+}$ channel Orai (encoded by $\textit{Olf186-F}$ in flies). Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (IP$_{3}$Rs, which are encoded by a single gene in flies) are assumed to regulate SOCE solely by mediating ER Ca$^{2+}$ release. We show that in $\textit{Drosophila}$ neurons, mutant IP$_{3}$R attenuates SOCE evoked by depleting Ca$^{2+}$ stores with thapsigargin. In normal neurons, store depletion caused STIM and the IP$_{3}$R to accumulate near the plasma membrane, association of STIM with Orai, clustering of STIM and Orai at ER–plasma-membrane junctions and activation of SOCE. These responses were attenuated in neurons with mutant IP3Rs and were rescued by overexpression of STIM with Orai. We conclude that, after depletion of Ca$^{2+}$ stores in $\textit{Drosophila}$, translocation of the IP$_{3}$R to ER–plasma-membrane junctions facilitates the coupling of STIM to Orai that leads to activation of SOCE.
Keywords: Ca$^{2+}$ signalling, $\textit{Drosophila}$, IP$_{3}$R receptor, Orai, STIM, store-operated Ca$^{2+}$ entry

|Glenn Davis
|Davis, of San Dimas, CA, was involved with all phases of racing from building and driving race boats to officiating, to serving as Region Chairman and Drag Vice President. He worked diligently at local, regional and national levels of APBA during his 35 years in the boat racing fraternity. Since 1958, Davis worked at every race official position (starter, timer, scorer, race chairman and referee) in almost every type of boat racing. During Davis's five years as Drag Vice President, the rules for Drag racing were formulated and recognized by APBA and UIM. Davis was Commodore (2 years), Vice Commodore (12 years) and Board member of the Southern California Speedboat Club.
|Jack Leek
|Since 1941, Jack Leek of Zion IL was deeply involved in APBA Outboard racing, from Formula I to Midget alky burners. Starting with Midget Class after WWII, Leek raced in most Stock and Racing Outboard classes. Leek's technical skills made him the most successful driver of the time, using modified stock Outboards from his own shop in several alky classes. His vocation meshed beautifully with the development of super high performance Outboard motors. Besides Leek's racing success, he played a vital part in founding racing organizations in the Northwest. For over a decade, he also served as an APBA representative to UIM, and on numerous technical committees and racing commissions.
|Henry "Shakey" Shakeshaft, Jr.
|Shakeshaft, of Bedford, VA, started racing in 1928 in various Outboard classes. In the 1920s and '30s when Outboard drivers were classified amateur (Division I) or Professional (Division II), Shakey campaigned all up and down the East Coast, collecting a remarkable amount of trophies and silverware. He was deeply involved in promoting and participating in short course and marathon events, including the Outboard races at Acapulco, Mexico in 1947. Shakey also got into the record books, starting in 1952 and as recently as 1985 with a record in C Service Hydro.

I think you succeeded in the HDR foreground/background lighting, but the original has more charm and draw to the tavern. What is bothersome and distracting is the cables or cable shadows, perhaps you can clone those out.
Hi Philip
I like your image and I also prefer the first version. It seems more realistic to me. There's nothing wrong with the HDR version, no extreme tone mapping or anything, but I don't think the shadows need to quite so bright. You can see them well enough in the first image.
Cheers Dave
Hi Philip! You have achieved exactly what I would aim for in an image. In the second image you can see the wood on the door, the objects in the windows and even the shadow of the Olde King Arms sign. The white texture above the tavern is not as pronounced but still well within the realm of realistic. The brightness within the arch, in fact, the entire image, is about what I'd expect to see if I were there. For the arch, when my eye looks at something in a shadow, it automatically compensates for the lack of brightness so it looks natural to me.
All in all, it looks to me what I would expect it to look like if I was standing there, viewing the scene. This can be a problem for some viewers. We don't expect a 'photograph' to look like it actually did when we are there, we expect the shadows, for example, to be darker with less detail. As a result, to some, the second shot might look less like we might expect a two dimensional 'photograph' to look like.
In my view, we're not seeing anything 'wrong' in either image so now it comes down to personal preference as opposed to anything the is technically wrong with either image.
Next time you post a result like the second image, don't mention anything about HDR and just try to get opinions about the technical and aesthetic aspects of the image. You might be quite surprised what you get for feedback if you just let the image stand on its own merits with no reference to the technique you used to get the final result. Hope this helps!
How you did the HDR looks good. The thing Im not crazy about in the 2nd image is you can see the debris and dirt on top of the arch more clearly.
A question for all… Im curious is this is the kind of image where it is better (or not) if the Pub name and windows above was more centered in the arch? Im just trying to get a better feel for compositions like this. I just find myself shifting to the left when looking at the image trying to see it centered. (of course it doesn't work!)
Otherwise, you guys on the other side of the pond keep posting great images and makes me want to take a photo vacation over there!
Thank you for all your comments on these two images.
In particular, I agree with everything that Frank has written, especially this -
I will also admit to the sort of omission of information that Frank suggested here. The facts are that the only post-processing done by me were - slight cropping (to get the image content to match closely), downsizing for the CiC website, plus gentle output sharpening. As the photographer, my main contributions were seeing and shooting the image, plus the desire to reproduce the image that I saw as I strolled through the covered way.
The HDR product was the achievement of the amazing technology in the Pentax K-5.
All the camera shooting settings were under my control, but HDR Auto mode was selected for the output. The camera was hand-held for these shots, with image stabilisation switched on. When the shutter button was pressed, the K-5 took three pictures in rapid succession - EV normal, minus 3, and plus 3. The cameras processor then aligned the three images and merged them into the single HDR image recorded on the SD card. From shutter activation, the whole process takes about 30 seconds.
In my opinion, the result is quite impressive.
Very impressive indeed, even more so being as this was hand-held HDR and there was no post processing done to achieve the detail presented! Thanks for the introduction to the K-5's amazing capabilities!
My Nikon compact (P300) has this feature and it works well. I think one or two of the latest Nikon DSLR's also have it.
My guess is that they use buffering and the three images are taken in very quick succession to avoid problems with image alignment. The subsequent HDR processing in camera takes a while of course. Very little tone mapping (if any) is applied, hence the "natural" results.
I think we'll probably see this feature more and more in the latest models.
Cheers Dave
That sounds a bit like Auto Exposure Bracketing (AEB) called Auto HDR.
I think the bottom one could be adjusted with a bit of darkenining around the edges; leaving the door as is. Not very inviting pub though is it.
The photographer is the one who should be pleased with his/her image. That said, the image does not have to look as it did when one is standing there making the image. The 2nd image may be what the OP saw when shooting, and if he likes it so be it.
I guess you can tell from above that I like the first image more than the second. I like it because it is easier to focus on the tavern, the dark forefront allowing the eye to move to the brighter portion (tavern).
Arith mentioned some vignetting may help the second image, I also agree that would work with me as well. Remember this is just my opinion...

Large Rotating Apparatus Division, Westinghouse Electric Corp., East Pittsburgh, Pa.
In a turbine generator rotor, the field winding extensions beyond the main body of the rotor forging are supported by high strength retaining rings, which are the most highly stressed components of the rotor. The availability of suitable high strength retaining rings determines the maximum diameter of the rotor which can be built. In modern generators of large rating it is desirable to use rings made of nonmagnetic material. Austenitic steel alloys strengthened by cold expansion or precipitation hardening are generally used. Extensive tests have been made to determine the necessary quality level and methods of evaluation which will assure adequacy of the rings during the entire life of the generator. Among these have been stress cycling tests of slices cut from rings simulating the expected life of a machine. Stress raisers including drilled holes, artificial cracks, non-metallic inclusions, and stress corrosion cracks were tested. As a result of these tests it has been determined that the widely used cold expanded austenitic steel rings at the stress levels used, can withstand large numbers of stress cycles with large stress raisers and thus provide the desired factor of safety.

The Battle Over Banking Business Analyst Interview Questions and How to Win It
An analyst is somebody who's well capable and trained in analyzing business troubles. It isn't always necessary for an analyst to be quite techy, it is contingent on the specific function. A business analyst ought to be current in the most recent technology trends and the software packages launched recently, in order to be capable of providing a viable and advanced solution.
The New Fuss About Banking Business Analyst Interview Questions
All you need to do is the identical thing, find all the questions that you can and write them down. Nonetheless, the questions can be answered in several different ways. It is asked merely to know more about your personality than actually seeking your personal details. Additionally, it means anticipating the questions you'll be asked and offering the answers your interviewer would like to hear. During the whole process of interview, you could be asked many questions. Continue reading to learn the answers to these common questions, and what exactly you have to know before you arrive. All these questions were generalized in nature and would provide you with an impression of the individual's aptitude and seriousness towards maintaining punctuality to the accounting functions.
If you learn and earn experience through internet training, you're going to be on your way to turning into a Business Analyst in the Retail Banking domain. If you've got prior investment banking experience the interviewer will be much more inclined to want to devote a good deal of time speaking about your experience in detail. In case you have investment banking work experience or similar company experience then you're going to need to scrawl it upon your investment banking resume in size 100 font since it's not merely impressive but it's perhaps the number one quality bankers search for in applicants.
The Hidden Treasure of Banking Business Analyst Interview Questions
After the interview is for recruiting a helper of the manager, it's certainly going to be a difficult undertaking. If you're facing this type of interview for the very first time, you will need to study the job responsibilities well ahead of time, before the true interview happens. In the end, it's well worth noting that multiple interviews at the 1 bank may also overlap in both theme and the particular questions asked.
When it's obvious the interview is over try to learn what the status is. It's very much important to be ready for the interview. Most interviews will visit the very first group. Finding the very first interview is often an arduous task all on its own, which means you want to be prepared to answer whatever questions the interviewer throws at you. When you could be confident in a work interview, it is going to show, and employers wish to employ confident folks, not someone who's afraid to talk since they might earn a fool of themselves. Before you're able to update your resume or succeed at work interview, you need to acquire business analyst abilities and experience together with any extra knowledge, like learning about Information Technology as it relates to retail banking. So always be sure that you're much prepared for the work interview.

Circle Studio...........Opens its Doors!
Finally finished my long (and expensive) project this summer. A space on my property (in central Tucson) where I can teach small (up to 7) classes and workshops, where others can also offer small classes or workshops (including writers retreats). A space for small weekend exhibits, and not just my own work. A space for retreat groups to use, and I can offer then housing for their retreats at my rooms and casita. A space to fill with creative energy.
I, and many artists, can no longer afford to rent storefronts and warehouses to have have the innovative galleries and arts districts I remember from other times - in other cities where I lived, among them New York and the Bay Area, and even in Tucson. Tucson's art district is mighty slim compared to what it once was, even though the population has doubled in the years since I first came here - all thanks to gentrification and real estate speculation. There are a lot more restaurants and wine bars, a whole lot less galleries, althernative bookstores, etc. So, a number of us have decided to just "get off the grid", and turn our homes, gardens, back yards, etc. into spaces to share our work. A friend of mine, for example, who is a playright has turned her carport into a sometimes theatre, and "The Carport Theatre" stages productions about 3 times a year.
Yesterday friends came by and we had a bit of a "Consecration" party for the space, so it can begin to manifest creativity, conversation, abundance, and friendship, and the grace of the Goddess, Creator, and Spirit. A place where it can.........Circulate. Circle Studio!

Through most of the 1980s I thought I had cured myself through hard work and love, but I never could drown out the white TG noise of my life completely. It was always there, a block to intimacy. When I went to the Soviet Union on my IREX grant in 1987, I was relieved to be alone. I briefly started cross-dressing surreptitiously when the opportunity presented itself, but I stopped almost before I began. The dormitory where I was living was most likely equipped with listening and video devices, I thought. I could almost see the headline in Pravda: "U.S. Sends Sexual Deviant on Academic Grant."
When my spouse joined me at the end of the year, we had the first full-fledged war of our marriage. I was suspected of an affair with a young woman I had befriended in Armenia. Even in the heat of the fighting, I could not bring myself to say that the issue was something very different. It was easier to be accused of a non-existent affair than it was to say, "Dear, I have something difficult to tell you." Impossible.
We patched ourselves back together, and in March 1988 we returned to the U.S. Two months after that we learned that my spouse was pregnant, and our one and only son was born that November.
What conflicted feelings I had on the day of my son's birth! I was ecstatic to be a parent. I loved every moment of being with my spouse in the delivery room. I also felt devastated at the thought that I would need to keep something serious hidden away for decades to come.
I couldn't do it. The contradictions were too great. When the moment came, it came unexpectedly.
By the spring of 1990 I was reaping the fruits of my research on the purge of Soviet astronomers. A major journal article was about to appear, and I was frequently invited to conferences and meetings. The science section of Newsday wrote about my work, and when Sky and Telescope magazine published my popular article, it did so with a press release.
Hubble Space Telescope was launched on April 24, 1990. I was at the pinnacle of my career. I still remember with goose bumps the feeling of being in the control center at Goddard Space Flight Center, watching as Hubble's solar arrays unfurled, my fingers deftly working the algorithm that would allow the Fixed Head Star Trackers to identify star patterns and determine Hubble's orientation.
Less than three months later I was in a psychiatric ward.
I have no clear memory of the events between April and August 1990. I believe it's my own mind's way of protecting me from memories that are still too hard to bear.
What I do remember was that I had a one week research grant at the University of Illinois. I went there to complete my journal article for the Slavic Review, but I found I was unable to work. At the time of some of my greatest successes at work and joy at being a parent, the contradictions inside me were yelling, "Enough, this can't go on!" I looked up the unit at Johns Hopkins that dealt with gender issues and called long distance to make an appointment On the train back to Washington, DC, I knew I had to talk with my spouse.
I don't remember how many days later the conversation came. I don't even remember the circumstances or the words that were said. I just know it was a long night. It may have been the beginning of several long nights. Finally one day I found myself a persona non grata, not knowing where I would spend the next night. My world had collapsed. The secret was out, and the result was more devastating than I had feared in my worst nightmares. I stood one late afternoon on a Metro platform thinking not entirely frivolously that it might be better for everyone if I were just to disappear. . . .
I didn't jump in front of a moving Metro, but I had reached my nadir, the bottom of the pit. Out of the Metro, I called my sister, who from the sound of my voice knew something was very wrong. She came to pick me up, and the sight of me must have scared her even more than my voice.
I told her. Now two people, my spouse and my sister, knew. My sister's reaction was, "I think you need help." She had never heard a story such as the one I told her, but she understood I was in trouble.
That night I slept in the psychiatric ward of one of our local hospitals to which my sister had delivered me. In the emergency room my story elicited nothing but odd stares. I didn't know what to expect when I woke up the next morning. In three short months I had gone from respected engineer and historian to psychiatric patient. I remember spending several hours in a common room, reading a copy of John LeCarre's A Perfect Spy that I had found. What a story, I thought, as I got further into the book. Magnus Pym, the main character, spends his entire life being what other people want him to me, always a cypher. I felt a oneness with him and a comfort at being behind closed doors with the world fading away.
This was my first encounter with psychiatry. It was not a pleasant one, and it was not a good one. I don't remember the name of the psychiatrist assigned to my case. I do remember recounting to him my earliest and continuing memories of feeling a tremendous mistake had been made, that I was in the wrong body, living the wrong life. He sat there with a stony face, never commenting. We met daily for a week. Only at the last session did he pronounce his verdict. "What you are is overworked and depressed." That's what he said, or something very much like it. He continued that from his reading, he was convinced there is no such thing as gender dysphoria. He prescribed an antidepressant. I was released to the care of my spouse, who was assured that I would be fine. I went back to work without telling anyone the truth of why I had missed a week of work. It was as though I had been away on vacation.
My appointment at Johns Hopkins came several weeks later. Having made the appointment, I kept it. To her credit, my spouse went with me. The diagnosis here was very different: gender identity disorder of adulthood, non-transsexual. I took that to mean, "Has a very serious gender issue but seems able to cope."
Continuing discussions at home in the days and weeks to come made it clear that I had to choose between the diagnoses. Go for continuing gender counseling at Hopkins or take the pills. It was also clear that if I went for the former, I would find myself divorced with little or no access to our two year old son. It was a stark choice. I chose to stay married, remain a parent, and hope against my own desires that the diagnosis of depression was the right one, that this would go away. "Life would be so much easier if only this would go away," I would say to myself even as I grieved inwardly.
In this, the darkest summer of my life, there were just three bright spots. My sister, as confused as she was by my revelation, visited me daily and from that time forward became the main emotional support of my life. Dad was still unapproachable and even proposed taking over my financial affairs since I was "ill," but it was different with Ma. "Do you remember when you discovered me that night wearing my sister's clothes?" I asked her. She replied, "Yes. I never understood then just how difficult it was for you." It wasn't much, but from that moment onward I felt much closer to Ma than I ever had as a child.
The third bright moment was a special friend, CT. He is an unlikely hero in my story, the last person I ever expected to accept a side of me I thought was unacceptable. CT is a reactionary, true-blue American patriot who has never voted for a Democratic candidate in his life. Some would say he is a bigot, but like Clint Eastwood in the movie Grand Torino. there is another side.
Only days out of the hospital, I took a long walk with CT. Near the end, as we walked up the small hill towards my home, he stopped, turned and looked at me. "Maybe this really is you," he said. "Maybe you really were supposed to be born a woman." The person I least expected to do so was the only person who validated my right to my own feelings. I never forgot that moment.
It was another twenty years before I mentioned that conversation to CT again. On that day in 1990, CT proposed something else as our conversation drifted. "I'm going on a bike ride with friends next weekend," he said. "Why don't you come along?"
A bike ride? My college bicycle was gathering dust in the basement, unused for years. I did go on that ride with CT, and I never looked back. Soon I was riding over 5000 miles per year as a commuter, and I still ride to this day.
So to my bicycling friends, here it is, the transgender roots of my career as an avid rider and activist for bicyclist rights in Maryland. I had failed at coming out. I was back in the closet for another twenty years, but for those twenty years, the rhythm of my legs and the quiet of the long road were a solace and a source of peace. Where psychiatry and its pills failed, the bicycle saw me through to a better day.

Demystifying Collagen: What it's for and how it can benefit your skin — Project Vanity
Now don't freak out, I'm not here to tell you to get your lips filled three times its normal size! First, let's set aside the notion that collagen is only used in lip fillers and focus on what it actually is. Collagen is an insoluble and hard fibrous protein that makes up one third of the protein found in humans and animals.
As we get older, the collagen production in our body drops and our skin begins to lose its plumpness and elasticity. Because of this, we begin to see the dreaded wrinkles and fine lines, and promptly smear a battalion of anti-aging products on. According to studies though, the topical application of collagen found in creams, lotions, and makeup have little effect on the actual anti-aging process. They provide a surface layer of support, and don't fully "reverse" the clock. That's why it's better to use anti-aging products even before the first few lines appear as a preventive measure. When the signs of aging have already set in though, the skin is more likely to absorb the collagen through cosmetic procedures or concentrated drinks.

If you are experiencing a stall or plateau imprint your Atkins weight loss efforts, you are not alone. This occurs from time to time. However, you first must cook decisive that you have actually reached a plateau point.
A plateau means that you have gone an gigantic title of time without losing supremacy or inches. It's important to take your measurements before you start your weight casualty plan, prerogative addition to your weight. On some weeks it may not seem like you are losing fragment at all on the sequence. But a quick look at your measurements will prove otherwise.
On the Atkins diet you are replacing fat with muscle, which is denser and heavier. You might actually gain a little weight because you are building muscle to replace your fat. The result will be an increase on the scale, but a decrease in your inches. Your figure will be smaller and leaner, but you may weigh the same.

Using both methods to track your fat loss is the best assurance for an accurate ploy of your progress. These stall periods are not a reason to quit or to give up. They are natural parts of the weight loss process.

Let's Talk: Patience & TV
This semester in Paris I've been taking a photography class. Of all my non-illustration based classes, this one's proving to be the most fun! Creating an image is creating an image, no matter what medium you're using. My prof pointed this out to me when I had my complain-y "I'm an illustrator not a photographer!" pants on. I don't always understand what he's saying (mumbled rambles in French are even harder to understand than ones in English) but this statement really got me.
For this assignment we had to pick a scene from a movie that really stood out to us and re-create it. I chose to do the sleepover scene from Grease and ended up doing the part where Rizzo sings to Elvis asking him to keep his pelvis far from her! For those of you who follow me on instagram, now my fake-freckle attempts make sense - it was for this assignment!
(the original scene)
I digress. Doing this project (though really, REALLY fun) got me realizing something; I have become so impatient with watching movies. I get bored and distracted so easily. I check my facebook, my instagram, hell sometimes I start reading the news on my phone, all while my movie plays and I miss dialogue and important scenes. This is not a testament to the quality of the movies I choose (though admittedly I sometimes give movies a chance when I really should just trust the reviews...), it's because I've been watching nothing but TV shows since being in Paris.
1. TV shows are so easy to watch online, and being away from home I don't have a DVD player or my brother's Xbox or Netflix (there is no French Netflix) for movies here.
2. It's easier to fit in an episode of my favourite show in between homework or classes. And easier to justify watching a shorter episode when you really should be doing something productive...
3. The episodes are designed to be fast paced, suspenseful, and to leave you hanging at the end wanting more. They cater directly to the easily distracted.
4. I care more about the characters because I've been following some of them for years (anyone else have a Grey's Anatomy guilty pleasure?)
5. I don't even have to wait a week to watch the next episode since I can start a show at any time online and binge-watch entire seasons all at once (Game of Thrones I'm looking at you)!
Now, just because I can justify it doesn't mean I think it's a good thing.
Shows have their merits of course, but movies are a different kind of art form. They are one-time masterpieces, not on-going, so they have to prove themselves and their worthiness all at once. The character development is trickier since it has to happen within a few hours, not a few seasons. Sure this means there are a lot of crap movies where this isn't achieved, but it also means there are some brilliant ones with inspired minds behind the scripts and characters and sets and costumes and soundtracks and just everything (think every Wes Anderson film ever). It just takes a little bit of patience to weed through the bad ones and focus for longer periods of time, through the highs and lows of the movie. Patience to get to know new characters every time and learn to love or hate them in the span of a few hours. Patience to take the time to sit and watch a movie instead of binge watch episodes of the latest trendiest show.
I'm going to work on this. I think it's important to watch films, not only to appreciate them as an art form, but to take the time to slow down and practice patience. Patience is a virtue, as the saying goes, and I can't help but feel my patience dwindle as my TV consumption goes up. It'll be easier to watch movies when I go back home to Canada (41 days!) and get reunited with my dvd player and Netflix, but that doesn't mean I can't start now!
So, what movies do you guys recommend? Seen anything wonderful recently?

Brilliant photo Katia! Ah, I'm the same way with movies....it's bad how distracted I become, ha..unless it's a Wes Anderson or Tim Burton! Last movie I seriously sat down and watched at home was The Great Gasby....I know, I know, I'm way behind on things. It actually kept my attention surprisingly :-).ReplyDelete

A Couple Of Care Tips For Your Salon Capes
Posted on: 6 August 2016
Your salon's capes are essential for keeping your clients clean while you are working on their hair. However, you may overlook the need to properly care for these capes, which can cause them to be more likely to suffer wear and tear. To help you avoid these issues, you may want to consider the following couple of care tips.
Air Dry The Capes
It will be necessary for you to wash the capes after each use. However, you should never place the capes into the dryer. The intense heat that is generated by the dryer can put tremendous stress on the fibers of the cape. When this happens, the fibers can be more likely to become frayed, stretched or otherwise damaged. To minimize this type of wear and tear, you will want to hang the capes in a well-ventilated area with plenty of sunlight. This will help to dry them as quickly as possible. If you make the mistake of putting these capes somewhere that is dark and poorly ventilated, the cape may take too long to dry, which can result in them develop mildew or mold.
Properly Store The Capes
When you are not using your capes, you will need to ensure that they are properly stored. Unfortunately, some salon owners may not give much thought to the storage of these capes, and this can cause them to develop foul odors, grow mold or develop other issues. To avoid these problems, you will want to make sure that you are storing the capes in an area with low humidity. High humidity can lead to the capes develop condensation. This condition will create ideal conditions for the capes to mildew or grow mold.
Additionally, you will want to avoid placing the capes in an area that receives sustained sunlight. While short-term exposure to sunlight can be an excellent way of helping to dry the capes, prolonged exposure can actually cause damage. This occurs because the sun's ultraviolet rays of light will be powerful enough to cause the fibers in the cape to become discolored. Additionally, this can eventually cause the fibers to break down, which can lead to holes or tears forming in the cape. For this reason, you will want to make sure that these garments are stored in an area that is out of the path of the sunlight entering your salon.

but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in your conduct, since it is written, "You shall be holy for I am holy." 1st Peter 1:15-16
Wholly Holy
When I first read God's command 'Be holy for I am holy' I thought 'That's totally impossible!' It wasn't until I happened to come across the book The Pursuit of Holiness, by the author Jerry Bridges, that the explanation to be holy because God is holy became clear. He knows we can't be holy just like He is-that is impossible. But He calls us to a life of holy living by obeying His precepts and holy directions for our lives in our daily activities. That is completely doable.
After reading this book I became aware of how ignorant the average believer was concerning God's attribute of holiness. Shortly after reading the book I taught a weekend class on holiness. My first question to the class was; "Does God want to be known first for His holiness or His love?" To a person everyone said "For His love" and gasped when I said "He wants to be known first for His holiness."
While we cannot attain the kind of perfect holiness that is the premier attribute of God the Father we can choose to seek to walk in a God-honoring fellowship with Him with the help of Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. Holiness is not an option, something you can take or leave. God's words in the Old Testament (Leviticus 11:44, 19:2, 20:7, 20:26) and the New Testament (cf 1:13-16,) are clear commands to practice and live a holy life.
Living a life of purity and righteousness, a holy life, is one of the most liberating things we can experience. It sets us apart to God, clears the conscience, allows the Holy Spirit to empower our hearts and minds, creates clearness of thought, excites the spirit within us to share Christ and disciple other Christians and leads us into a deeper fellowship with God which He, Himself, deeply desires. He is Wholly Holy in a way that is unfathomable, yet He desires us to live lives of righteousness in our behavior and our daily conduct. God says "Keep my statutes and do them; I am the Lord who sanctifies you" (Leviticus 20:8). God's holiness is defined by an incomprehensible purity. His holiness is something that is impossible for us to attain but we can still walk obediently in His holy statutes and in that sense we can be pleasingly wholly holy to Him.

The Department of Administrative Services has recently recalculated the retirees' health care projections and has estimated a potential $9 million to $10 million shortfall in the budget, due in large part to the explosive growth in prescription drug prices.
As with all state agencies, Administrative Services is not permitted to expend more than what has been budgeted and will be proposing changes to the under-65 and over-65 retiree health plan to the Fiscal Committee when it meets on Friday, Sept. 25. There is potential for increased out-of-pocket costs if the state raises the premiums and deductibles for office visits and prescription medication.
Click here to find a printable PDF file with contact information for all members of the Fiscal Committee as well as a copy of the following talking points.
Please call, email or visit the members of the Fiscal Committee before the 25th. We've supplied the following talking points to get the conversation started, but it's important that you put them in your own words and explain how the changes would affect you.
- Since 2008, retirees have seen increases in premiums for health insurance that was promised when they went to work for the state and was supposed to be for no cost.
- Working with the state, retirees have been able to keep the health care costs below the national rate of inflation through the use of generic prescriptions and low cost providers.
- The average state employee pension is just $1,000 per month and there has not been a COLA granted for the last six years and there is no COLA anticipated in the near future. Even small increases in out of pocket costs have devastating consequences.
- Simply shifting the costs on to the backs of the dedicated state employees who made their employment decisions based on promised health care is not the right answer to the budget problems. We have shared in picking up the costs in the past but without COLA's, there is no way we can absorb the entire shortfall.

Zagato Maserati Mostro revealed
Created to help celebrate the 100th Anniversary of Maserati by one of its most steadfast collaborators, the Zagato Mostro powered by Maserati made its world debut in Lake Como, Italy, at the annual Villa d'Este Concorso d'Elegance. Paying contemporary homage to the storied Maserati 450 S Coupe Zagato "Monster" - a lightweight, high-powered competition variant of the 450 S street car built for the 1957 World Sportscar Championship and driven at Le Mans by Sir Stirling Moss - this new-gen Mostro will have a limited production run of just five vehicles. All have been spoken for by Zagato collectors and will be delivered by the end of the year.
Also: Class of 2016 -- New Cars Ready to Roll
Race ready but street legal in at least some parts of the world, the new Zagato Maserati Mostro wraps its sleek carbon fiber bodywork around a carbon fiber MonoCell central tub that integrates a steel tube mid-structure that forms the passenger compartment. The Mostro's swan-wing doors carry fixed glass elements that save weight and complexity and its performance-focused cabin features two form-fitting racing shells.
Also: Kelley Blue Book Best Buy Awards of 2015
Motivation comes from a center-front mounted Maserati V8 with dry-sump lubrication system and tuned to make in excess of 400 horsepower. It drives the rear wheels via an aft-mounted 6-speed dual-clutch transaxle that helps enhance the car's overall weight distribution. The Mostro's double wishbone front/rear suspension features racing-style pushrod actuation of the spring/shock units and it rides on 19-inch alloy wheels that mount 255/40 front tires and 295/35 rear rubber.

When Errors released their new 'mini-album', New Relics, a few weeks ago, it's fair to say it was a little bit of a shock to the system. For anyone who'd ever been captivated by the band's earlier material, at any rate. Not so much of a bad shock, though. Not really. In fact, for many, the chilled-out swirling mist of electronics was more of a pleasant surprise. It does suit the band rather well. However biased this writer may be, though - as a drummer - the loss of the wonderfully harsh, mentally strenuous beats which penetrated the majority of older Errors songs, did leave something of a cavity in the sound. It'll be interesting then, to see how the band play their field tonight.
Before they take to Heaven's darkened stage this evening, however, Brighton's Esben and the Witch float from the sidelines to get things going. There was a lot of fuss about this band when they first emerged on the scene a few years ago, and their recorded material is doubtless engaging. But there's not an awful lot here tonight to get the heart racing. A hazy mess of non-distinct grungy sounds driven by full-frontal beats echoes around the venue as it begins to fill - the bar becoming ever more crowded - but a few tracks into the set and it's hard to distinguish one song from another. Nevertheless, it's a dark and mysterious persona they exude on stage - if not a hugely enticing one. Fore-fronted by almost pop-rock girl vocals with a just a little more sway and aural smoke-machine than the average, there's little to complain about here, but the band won't be setting any worlds on fire with their live show any time soon.
As Errors themselves stride instrument-ward, one of the first things that's striking is the position of the drummer, James Hamilton. So pushed out in terms of sound in their latest release, he's barely visible on stage tonight. Not that this makes his actual drumming any the less. Like an anonymous power of vibrant, tight rhythm, he acts as the backbone of the band - even in the newer, less beat driven material. It is, though, an element of the actual performance, the showmanship, that might be missed. Perhaps he's feeling shy tonight, but Hamilton's flailing arms are usually a propulsive part of the band's stage persona; it's an odd choice to have him so far back, obscured by the darkness and strobe lights. It's also a large part of the pleasure of a good drummer, to watch him go batshit at a kit, and it's something that's missing a little tonight, as on New Relics.
Nevertheless, Stephen Livingstone's effects drenched wave-like vocals shimmer through the room aside the navel-gaze-inducing electronic noise and have the crowd swaying right through the long set.
'Tusk' is an instant highlight. The familiar ascending swathes of chopped up synth noise cascading into the off beats, even if it does come across a little more floaty than what we've seen before.
Recent single 'Pegasus' comes towards the end of the set - right before the encore - to win the night for the woozy, more slowly encompassing of the songs. But 'Pleasure Palaces' is really the one which shows Errors for what they really are tonight. It has those familiar synth sounds seeping into our neurones and it's as sway inducing as anyone could hope for, but it's the backing of the complex and crashy rhythm, which really makes an impact. As the woozy vocals float through the the repetitive 'are/you/listen/ing' of the chorus, seemingly forever, it's scarcely a question worth asking.
'Relics' makes an appearance too, fronted by the vocals of Bek Olivia of Magic Eye, acting as something of a visual pleasure on stage as well as an aural one. Let's face it, with the drummer veiled by the dark this evening, the geeky Glaswegians are not much to look at otherwise. Olivia's feminine vocals take on the air, and effects, of Livingstone's to complete the space age walls of noise, and as the incandescent synths fade off into the background, it's clear that, despite what Errors might have dropped in their transition into the band they are now, they've kept an awful lot of greatness too. Errors have changed, but we'd probably complain if they didn't.
Tonight is, then, an excellent set from a band who reached their sound, found their niche, but didn't stick with it. This may not be entirely the Errors we knew and loved, but this new incarnation hasn't strayed too far, and certainly hasn't lost any of it's lure.

Developer: Platinum Games
Publisher: Activision
Review Platform: Xbox One
Release Date: May 24, 2016
If TMNT: Mutants in Manhattan does one thing right, its that it reveals its true colors from the get-go.
TMNT drops you right into a tutorial that immediately details how boring the game is going to be. You're alone and it instructs you to jump to capture green floating orbs, with no narrative reason as to what the green orbs are. Then pressing X hits, but so does Y, and, hey, you can dodge out of the way. All in all, TMNT insists from the beginning that it's as basic a game as one can ever expect, which is profoundly disappointing considering how great of a match the franchise is with developer Platinum Games.
Platinum has proven that depth doesn't necessarily mean complicated. Last year's Transformers Devestation featured giant robots fighting giant robots, with a rewarding combo system and flashy graphics. It felt like Transformers cartoons from the 80's, from the presentation down to the story.
TMNT certainly attempts to recapture the feel and spirit of the classic cartoon. All four central characters are present, with April and Splinter serving as narrator and shop-keep respectively. There's the typical cheesy pizza reference here and there, with some quips about how Don is the smart one, Mikey is the party-dude, and so on and so forth.
But none of this lends to a fun game. Platinum proved they could create a game that took a stupid show from the 80's with little plot, and make it work as the fundamental building blocks of a game with moment-to-moment combat that made sense. Here, you're given a vague description of the end-goal of a mission, and sometimes you run into Foot ninjas.
The first mission is particularly egregious. While it says you're supposed to find Rocksteady, you'll find yourself getting lost in the streets between a series of buildings that roughly resembles a city that resembles something like New York. Sure, clicking the right stick gives you an approximate idea of the direction you're intended to head in, but there isn't an indication of what you're headed towards. I'd continually find myself surrounded by enemies, which in itself isn't problematic, but I could always move around them and it became unclear which enemies I had to defeat to clear a section of the game, and which were obstacles to get to the next target. Luckily, later levels do away with much of this confusion, but bring up their own series of problems.
Perhaps most confusing is that it's unnecessary to complete mission objectives. One mission tasks you with defending a pizza stand from being destroyed (it's a particularly important pizza stand), and to my dismay, I was unable to do so. I expected to have to restart and retry, but instead the game pushed me forward, onto the next meaningless objective.
Each mission culminates in a battle with one of the franchise's staple enemies. Bosses have seven layers to their health bar, and as they decrease in health, they seemingly grow more violent. Defeating each boss takes little in terms of tactic. Get in close and beat them up and dodge around to avoid attacks while reviving fallen turtles. These fights are far and away more exciting and entertaining than anything leading up to them, largely due to environments with small details (one has a train that can hit all the turtles and the villain, for example) and an increased difficulty.
Boss fights end up highlighting how shallow the combat system is in TMNT. Playing alone, you're able to switch between the four turtles. While each character's weapons look different, they don't perform differently. The only difference comes in the form of Ninjutsu moves, which really is a fancy name for special moves. Holding the left trigger and pressing one of the corresponding face buttons triggers a special move. Each of these can be swapped out or upgraded by visiting the sewer lair. Visually, only one manages to be all that interesting. There's a special "combo" move which, if close enough to an ally, can trigger the duo to do a move that does a significant amount of damage. What can be particularly fun is that each turtle's special has a different effect- for example, Mikey causes the enemies to dance for a while (yes, just like Ratchet and Clank).
Combat ultimately suffers, despite a few interesting tidbits, due largely to a system that doesn't encourage discovering new combos. Repeatedly tapping X gets the job done, and throwing in a Y barely gives the desired effect of a more powerful attack. There is a projectile system, but it doesn't prove particularly effective on enemies that are more powerful than your traditional Foot ninjas. Where Platinum usually excels, making combat fast and with a deep combo system, they've completely failed. Ultimately, button mashing leads to boring gameplay that, even though the game is relatively short makes it feel much longer than it actually is.
Strangely, TMNT is missing local co-op, but does feature online co-op. Each player chooses their favorite turtle and then plays the same game as single-player. What's strange is that, if a party has less than 4 players, the remaining 1 or 2 turtles are completely unplayable. They remain AI controlled through the entire level, with no ability to switch things up. When playing with one other person, it's not uncommon to have to rely upon the AI controlled turtles to save you from perilous situations. Luckily, the AI is rarely frustrating.
Review Overview
TMNT: Mutants in Manhattan is a massive disappointment considering the franchise's potential as a Platinum game. Marred by boring combat and repetitive settings, it's short runtime feels longer than it should.

Originally posted on Mommy Diaries in August of 2007
Vomit and Slobber...these are the days of our lives.
Sass threw up on me not once, not twice, but three times today. I don't mean the little spots of slobber that you can dab off and forget about. I mean like running down your shirt kind of vomit. Nice, huh...it's probably because the little porker is up to 6 ounces every 4 hours now. She gets her good looks and sweet temperament from her daddy..what do I pass on to possibly my only biological child? The tendency to overeat, bless her heart.
Having a baby has been an immensely humbling experience for me. I've always fancied myself as organized, put together, knowledgeable, and one who tries to anticipate things and prepare for them before they happen. Sass might as well have been born with a big honking sign around her neck that said "Well, chuck that little dream world out the window, girlie...there's a new sheriff in town!"
At the very beginning of her life I felt like I was spinning my wheels trying to figure out what she needed, and then I read some parenting books about schedules and sleep cycles and whatnot so I decided to "take charge" of our new existence (laugh all you want-I'm just being honest here).
I just wanted to do everything RIGHT so that I won't scar my child for life...sometimes I still worry that somebody will figure out that I don't have a clue what I'm doing and will send Supernanny over or someone to give Sassafras to a more qualified mommy. Especially when we're out, I wonder if I'm doing things in the wrong order or the wrong way, and people are secretly gasping in horror at my stupidity.
(To chase a rabbit here, tell me your solution to this dilemma: when unloading groceries from the buggy, do you...A)put the baby in the car before putting your bags in the car but don't crank it up so some thug doesn't carjack you and steal your baby, but meanwhile leaving your baby in a hot car for a few seconds, B) put the baby in the car and crank it up so she won't be hot but run the risk of the thug taking her, C) leave the kid in the buggy until after you unload groceries so that she is safe from the thug, but run the risk of another thug stealing her out of the buggy while my hands are occupied with the bags, and also basically watch her cooking in this lovely heat we are now having or D) hold the baby's seat on one arm and unload bags with the other, but jostle her and bang the seat against the door so many times that she starts crying...and now you worry that the thug is going to go after your purse now that the baby is safe.
A screaming baby further complicates these matters.
Me? I have learned that it is worth it to just pay more and shop at Publix where someone else can unload my groceries for me! ;)
Currently, I've reached a place where I realize that no one else knows my Sweet Thang or what is best for her like I do and that even if we do things OUR way (not mine or hers or even "by the book") that everything will be okay. No Supernanny, DHR, or future therapy! I'm also trying to not to take things, or myself, so seriously, and to just enjoy this little gift for what and who she is! Now as far as the vomit and slobber...that I can do without.
