text: we designed a JAK2 substrate fusion protein combining the glutathione S-transferase protein with an 11 amino acid sequence modeling the JAK2 activation loop [36] (PQDKEYYKVKE referred Clomifene citrate to as GST-J2s-KEYY). assess the ability of TEL-JAK2 to phosphorylate the tyrosines within these substrate fusion proteins (). Tropisetron HCL IC50 TEL-JAK2 stimulates tyrosine phosphorylation of a doublet in GST-KEYY (Figure S1B) so GST-KEYF was utilized for intra-cellular kinase assays testing TEL-JAK2 mutants. TEL-JAK2 did not phosphorylate the GST-J2s-KEFF or KEFY proteins (Figure S1A). After substrate optimization 293 cells expressing pMPG2-TEL-JAK2 and pEBG-GST-J2s-KEYF were incubated with JAK Inhibitor-I for four hours lysed the JAK2 substrate fusion protein was isolated with glutathione sepharose beads and probed for phosphorylation (Figure 5A). All tested mutants Clomifene citrate display phosphorylation of the JAK2 substrate at 0. 65 μM a JAK Inhibitor-I concentration that suppresses wild-type TEL-JAK2 substrate phosphorylation. TEL-JAK2 E864K Tropisetron HCL Tropisetron HCL IC50 IC50 V881A and M929I phosphorylate the substrate slightly at higher JAK Inhibitor-I concentrations. Only TEL-JAK2 G935R (Figure 5A lanes 14–16) and R975G (lanes 17–19) display substantial kinase activity at 6. 5 μM. To test the maximal concentration of Tropisetron HCL IC50 inhibitor at which G935R and R975G are able to retain kinase function we incubated transfected 293T cells in JAK Inhibitor-I up to 130 μM. Wild-type TEL-JAK2 phosphorylation was Clomifene citrate observed at 0. 65 μM JAK Inhibitor-I in a long immunoblot exposure (Figure 5B). TEL-JAK2 G935R retains kinase activity exceeding 130 μM Clomifene citrate JAK Inhibitor-I (Figure 5B lanes 8–13) while TEL-JAK2 Tropisetron HCL IC50 R975G activity is attenuated but still present (lanes 14–19). In 293T cells TEL-JAK2 expression is variable interestingly. This result suggests that the CDKN2AIP Tropisetron HCL IC50 isolated TEL-JAK2 mutations disrupt protein stability or turnover. In order to address this issue we transfected five-fold more wild-type TEL-JAK2 than G935R and R975G and determined that normalization of TEL-JAK2 expression does not affect its kinase activity at high doses of JAK Inhibitor-I (Figure 5B). These results suggest that selected TEL-JAK2 mutations are at least 200-fold more resistant to JAK Inhibitor-I than wild.

Music dept:
We have just purchased and installed cubase elements 8 personal music production system. It was time for a change. Now all we need to do is learn how to use it!! What fun.
The crew will be meeting up at Rowes' studios on 061016. We are 10 months into this project and all have lots to discuss and share. We have been extremely busy working through all the pre production jobs.
The script is being polished. Neil has been busy researching and buying the camera equipment and accessories. The postman has been kept busy!

Perhaps Not What You Would Expect From a Body
Steel, fabric, wood, casters, speakers
Dimensions Variable. Approximately: 7 x 8 x 4 feet
As an artist I am interested in making work that is challenging, experimental, and contemporary. I draw much of my inspiration from the history of sculpture as well as emerging ideas and practices in contemporary art.
My process will generally begin with doing an action of some sort, whether that be making an element, or placing/manipulating a found object. Once I have an element of the work established I can begin reacting to it and building upon it through formal relationships. This process continues while editing throughout until I reach a point where the work feels finished.
What most excites me when making sculpture is working fast and intuitively, and also working with a wide array of materials and processes. As a result of this I have embraced an aesthetic of rawness and energy.

FALASHAS (i.e. exiles; Ethiopic falas, a stranger), or "Jews of Abyssinia," a tribe of Hamitic stock, akin to Galla, Somali and Beja, though they profess the Jewish religion. They claim to be descended from the ten tribes banished from the Holy Land. Another tradition assigns them as ancestor Menelek, Solomon's alleged son by the queen of Sheba. There is little or no physical difference between them and the typical Abyssinians, except perhaps that their eyes are a little more oblique; and they may certainly be regarded as Hamitic. It is uncertain when they became Jews: one account suggests in Solomon's time; another, at the Babylonian captivity; a third, during the 1st century of the Christian era. That one of the earlier dates is correct seems probable from the fact that the Falashas know nothing of either the Babylonian or Jerusalem Talmud, make no use of phylacteries (tefillin), and observe neither the feast of Purim nor the dedication of the temple. They possess—not in Hebrew, of which they are altogether ignorant, but in Ethiopic (or Geez)—the canonical and apocryphal books of the Old Testament; a volume of extracts from the Pentateuch, with comments given to Moses by God on Mount Sinai; the Te-e-sa-sa Saribat, or laws of the Sabbath; the Ardit, a book of secrets revealed to twelve saints, which is used as a charm against disease; lives of Abraham, Moses, &c.; and a translation of Josephus called Sana Aihud. A copy of the Orit or Mosaic law is kept in the holy of holies in every synagogue. Various pagan observances are mingled in their ritual: every newly-built house is considered uninhabitable till the blood of a sheep or fowl has been spilt in it; a woman guilty of a breach of chastity has to undergo purification by leaping into a flaming fire; the Sabbath has been deified, and, as the goddess Sanbat, receives adoration and sacrifice and is said to have ten thousand times ten thousand angels to wait on her commands. There is a monastic system, introduced it is said in the 4th century A.D. by Aba Zebra, a pious man who retired from the world and lived in the cave of Hoharewa, in the province of Armatshoho. The monks must prepare all their food with their own hands, and no lay person, male or female, may enter their houses. Celibacy is not practised by the priests, but they are not allowed to marry a second time, and no one is admitted into the order who has eaten bread with a Christian, or is the son or grandson of a man thus contaminated. Belief in the evil eye or shadow is universal, and spirit-raisers, soothsayers and rain-doctors are in repute. Education is in the hands of the monks and priests, and is confined to boys. Fasts, obligatory on all above seven years of age, are held on every Monday and Thursday, on every new moon, and at the passover (the 21st or 22nd of April). The annual festivals are the passover, the harvest feast, the Baala Mazalat or feast of tabernacles (during which, however, no booths are built), the day of covenant or assembly and Abraham's day. It is believed that after death the soul remains in a place of darkness till the third day, when the137 first sacrifice for the dead is offered; prayers are read in the synagogue for the repose of the departed, and for seven days a formal lament takes place every morning in his house. No coffins are used, and a stone vault is built over the corpse so that it may not come into direct contact with the earth. The Falashas are an industrious people, living for the most part in villages of their own, or, if they settle in a Christian or Mahommedan town, occupying a separate quarter. They had their own kings, who, they pretend, were descended from David, from the loth century until 'Soo, when the royal race became extinct, and they then became subject to the Abyssinian kingdom of Tigre. They do not mix with the Abyssinians, and never marry women of alien religions. They are even forbidden to enter the houses of Christians, and from such a pollution have to be purified before entering their own houses. Polygamy is not practised; early marriages are rare, and their morals are generally better than those of their Christian masters. Unlike most Jews, they have no liking for trade, but are skilled in agriculture, in the manufacture of pottery, ironware and cloth, and are good masons. Their numbers are variously estimated at from one hundred to one hundred and fifty thousand. Ein varlassener Bruderstamm," in Bloch's Wochenschrift (7th February 1902), p. 85; J.

What is Parenthood Planned
What does "planned parenthood" mean to you? To many of us, the answer is complex. A few words that come to mind are: Happiness, Stress, Joy, Sleep deprivation, Pride, Angst, Laughter, Worry, Fun – And the list goes on and on, the good and the bad mixed together, and the only thing most of us can say for sure is that whatever emotion parenthood evokes in us, it is quite intense.
Most Beautiful Parenthood Moments
Since images convey intense emotions so beautifully – often better than words ever could – we've decided to scour the Web, looking for images capturing parenting moments. These are our favorite images:
How to Consider Economic Factors Regard parenthood!
How are economic factors affecting your decisions in regard to parenthood?
To have a child is considered to be a decision influenced by several factors. The Motives toward Parenthood Scale was developed using a revision of previous motivations relate to the economic utility and social status of having a child The role of men in the childbearing decision process and the factors that. More than half of men felt that the ideal age to begin parenting was before. These were financial security but these tidbits barely compare to the major life decisions couples face

How Many Seasons of Parenthood! 9 Winter Break Activities, Or: Winter Break Can be Fun!
Winter break, much like summer break, often invokes feelings of dread and worry. "What am I supposed to do with the kids for so long? How am I going to entertain them?" Most of us desperately don't want to just let the kids watch too much TV or sit in front of any other screen for too long.
But there are many fun things to do with your kids during any break from school, and especially during winter break. Some of them they can actually do by themselves (depending on their age, of course) while others do require supervision. Here are some fun winter break activities:
Best 9 Perfectly Seasons Parenthood!
- Winter Crafts: There are plenty of fun, easy winter crafts you can do with your kids, including making paper snowflakes and making a cereal box snowman.
- Bake Cookies: The quintessential winter break activity, baking with children is a pleasant way to spend time together and you can then enjoy the fruits of your work!
- Jump in Puddles: I actually bought myself a pair of wellies because the kids have so much more fun when I get in the puddles with them!
- Collect Leaves: This is a great activity for fall, but even in winter, you can still collect all kinds of interesting leaves and branches, then turn them into a pretty collage.
Just Like At Home: If anything positive came from Joel and Julia's near-divorce, it's this scene during Julia's first night home alone while her kids spent their first with Parents
- Snuggle Together and Read Stories: Winter is a great time to stay indoors and read together. When the kids are little, you should read to them of course (here are recommended baby books and toddler books). But even when they are a little older, it's so much fun to stay in bed on Sunday morning, snuggle together and read.
- Write Holiday Cards: If you still mail written Holiday cards, your kids will love helping you write them, decorate them and mail them.
- Watch Christmas Movies: Make some popcorn, maybe mugs of hot chocolate, and snuggle together to watch old favorites.
- Snow Fun: Needless to say, if you live where there's snow on the ground during winter, snow play, including sledding and building snowmen, can provide hours of fun.

I recently signed up for a 100 hr (6 month) online course to obtain my TESOL certification. The accronym stands for Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages. It is also commonly referred to as TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) and the two names are interchangeable. Anyway, it is a lifelong certification that makes me more competitive in the ESL teaching world and often comes with a higher paycheck.
The test took me 11 full hours (12 in total, but I took a short break every 2 hours) to complete! YEA, ouch! The test was not hard, but was extremely time consuming. I am glad I took it on a vacation day rather than a workday as you only get a 24 hr window to complete it. I would highly recommend this course to anyone considering teaching ESL because it gives some nice practical information that is quite useful in brushing up your English skills. http://www.teflonline.net/

Buraq and Naga
Hello everybody, it's Sarah the intern again! Today I got two Chimeras in, the horse-with-a-girl's-head that Muhammad rode to get a guided tour of heaven, as well as a snake-with-a-girl's-head I remember from a DnD Monster Manual I had when I was younger. I couldn't remember what a horse looked like so I tried to freeball it with pretty funny results.

I didn't know about that horse that gave tours!ReplyDelete
These are cool.
Snake head looks familiar...
Pretty cool Sarah!ReplyDelete
Nice drawings! Thought Buraq was a dude though-- either way, even though the idea of a six-limbed vertebrate is outlandish, the ancient Greeks knew what they were doing when the gave centaurs the full-on human torso. A human head coming out of a horse body looks really weird.ReplyDelete
Oh god, duh. Thanks George!ReplyDelete

These cookies are from Nigella's new book, Kitchen. I like Nigella a lot but I tend to use her for reference points rather than recipes. I've had bad experiences in the past of things not working out well. These cookies are an exception. As is her chocolate Guinness cake. (More on that another time.) These are American cookies, crispy on the outsides, chewy in the middle and so loaded with chocolate that it is hard to form them well. They are also an American size, that is to say, gigantic. And they take all of five minutes to make and thus make a good addition to the collection if you're ever in a giant rush for a cookie fix.
Basically you melt the butter, allow it to cool and then mix all the ingredients together. Well, almost – see the instructions below. You don't need a fancy mixer for this though, just a bowl and a wooden spoon. You can use dark, milk or white chocolate chips or a combination of all three, whatever takes your fancy at the time. I happen to have a mound of Easter eggs left over so I used those. (This wasn't entirely wise because the Easter chocolate is of so poor a quality that I ended up with quite a few burnt chocolate edges – I've managed to get past that by eating around the burnt bits, obviously.) It hasn't entirely dented my stock pile but it's made a good improvement on a situation that was turning slightly awkward. Nigella also suggests that you use a 60ml measuring cup to form the individual cookies in and then knock out onto the baking tray. This works quite well and allows for even shape and cooking time. These make the perfect 4pm booster or lunchbox treat or any day, anytime eating thing.
I read an article on the New York Times relatively recently all about the quest for the perfect chocolate chip cookie. The article basically said that if you want the best tasting cookie you need to refrigerate the dough for 3 days. This gives the flour time to absorb the eggs and butter and results in a more caramel, sophisticated taste. Feel free to try this out. I am not the kind of person who can wait 3 days for a cookie. I'm also not the kind of person who thinks ahead by 3 days. Apparently the flavour improves after one day so perhaps you can wait that long. I can't and these taste awesome when made and baked in a frenzy of depressed book madness.
Chocolate Chip Cookies
Adapted from Kitchen
150g butter, melted
125g light brown sugar
100g caster sugar
1 egg
1 yolk
Some vanilla
300g flour
Half a teaspoon of bicarb
About 250g chocolate chips*
Mix the melted, cooled butter and the sugars together before adding in the eggs and vanilla. Mix in the flour until all the ingredients are combined. Lastly, mix in the chocolate chips. (I find this easiest to do by hand because the amount of chips is fairly overwhelming.) Form the dough into cookie shape mounds and press down to flatten. Bake at 170C for about 15minutes – depending on the size of your cookie and the oven itself.
* The original recipe calls for significantly more chocolate chips that this but I find that more is not necessarily better in the quest for chocolate chip godliness. In this case, this amount of chocolate is more than sufficient to get a well rounded, well studded cookie.
The book is called One Day and I have now finished it. It gets better for a while so is slightly redeemable but I do think you need a supply of these cookies to get you through.

Frown and smile lines are often greatly improved with muscle relaxing injections (BT). We can discuss the specific names with you if you ring us on 1300 667 039 or contact us. Muscle relaxing injections are very effective and popular, used by most celebrities and movies stars. These injections generally last 3-4 months and slowly wear off. Prior to injecting, a numbing cream or ice is applied to the skin, to minimise discomfort. The effects of muscle relaxing injections are seen within 7-10 days. Occasionally there is some temporary swelling and bruising. The injections are safe and have very few side effects.
There are few side effects with fillers nowadays. However the following may occur:
- Too much filling.
- Inadequate filling.
- Bruising and swelling
- Infection
- Asymmetry
- Lumpiness
After injection of fillers, it is possible to have some swelling and bruising, which may last a few days. It is particularly common around the eye area. If you use ice immediately after the filler, it may reduce bruising and swelling.
Fillers are often acidic so can sting when injected. To minimise any discomfort, it is possible to use ice, a numbing cream or local anaesthetic injections, prior to insertion of the filler.
Allergies to fillers are very rare nowadays, Allergies were not uncommon with the older fillers.
Since there are such a variety of fillers, a proper consultation is needed to assess the areas to be treated and the different options discussed. Costs may also be a factor.
Long Lasting fillers last for years and are made of synthetic plastic like liquids. The body does not break down these fillers, and they cannot be easily removed. Long lasting (more than 5 years) fillers can be used for
- Nasolabial folds
- Lip enhancement
- Cheek enhancement
- Depressions below the mouth
- Acne scars
- Deeper depressions on the face.
Fillers often last 12-18months. They are also made of naturally occurring substances, but are more durable and take longer for the body to break them down. They are suitable for:
- Nasolabial folds
- Cheek enhancement
- Deeper lines below the mouth
Most temporary fillers are made of a naturally occurring substance containing hyaluronic acid ( natural sugar in the skin). They last from about 3- 9 months, depending on the thickness of the product and the location in which it is placed. Temporary fillers are suitable for
- Fine lines around the mouth and eyes
- Nasolabial folds
- Lip enhancement
- Hollows under the eyes
- Hollows in the cheeks
- Acne scars
- Frown lines
There are many types of injectable fillers, which are divided into 3 broad categories. Their names cannot be used on websites due to TGA regulations. If you ring on 1300 667 039 or contact us, we can discuss their names with you.

F1 halo: SHOCKING pics as Charles Leclerc avoids horror injury after Fernando Alonso crash
F1 halo: Charles Leclerc was saved by the new safety feature
CHARLES LECLERC was involved in a huge crash during the Belgian Grand Prix – but the new F1 halo might have saved his life.
Formula One's new halo system is being heavily praised after saving Charles Leclerc from serious harm during the Belgian Grand Prix.
The Sauber driver was involved in a horror three-car smash just seconds into the opening lap at Spa.
He walked away without sustaining major injuries, but the incident could have been much nastier had the halo feature not been installed on his car.
The collision occured after Renault driver Nico Hulkenberg failed to brake on the opening straight, slamming into Fernando Alonso at the first turn.
Alonso's bright orange McLaren was sent flying over Leclerc's Sauber, spinning across the top of the car beneath.
Frame-by-frame analysis of the crash shows the front right wheel on Alonso's car was headed for the cockpit where Leclerc sat.
But the halo system took the impact of the tyre and rebounded the car away from Leclerc's head, damaging Alonso's suspension instead.
Once the dust settled, all three drivers involved were able to walk away from the crash unscathed.
Leclerc later tweeted: "End of the race in the 1st corner. Frustrating. Never been a fan of the halo but I have to say that I was very happy to have it over my head today!"
Former F1 world champion Nico Rosberg was also quick to praise the controversial safety system as he tweeted: "We can end the halo discussion now. It will save lives!"
F1 halo: Leclerc walked away unscathed
Critics suggested the design of the halo would impact on visibility and style, but its impact in the Leclerc crash could sway doubters.
FIA director Charlie Whiting said: "What is clear is the significant tyre marks on both the tyre and the halo.
"We take a lot of photographs, and our researchers will be contacting Sauber on Monday morning to make sure we understand, for example, when they take the halo off, to see if the fixings and the bolts that fix it are in good shape, and more importantly to see if it's been distorted.
"It's being held in by the bolts at present, but see if it springs into a different shape.
"Let's hope we can try and learn whatever we can from that. It looks like it's had a fairly hefty whack though."

A contractor works for different employers for fixed periods of time, under fixed contracts. The contractor sells their skills on an hourly basis to complete project-based work.
Abandoning your accountant and going DIY may be tempting, but it could end up costing you more in the long term.
The UK's tax laws are complicated and it can be a struggle to navigate them. Doing your own accounting can also be an incredibly time-consuming process. There is endless fine print for VAT and tax rules, and you could waste hours on the phone to HMRC. Despite your best efforts, it's possible that your submitted return will be incorrect.
If you complete the documents yourself, it's recommended that an accountant reviews your work before it is submitted – an avoidable extra cost. You also may struggle to get approval for a mortgage if you complete your own return.
An experienced accountant will help you abide by and apply all the necessary rules with which you need must comply and ensure that they are correctly applied to your finances. They can help you foresee and plan for potential future tax bills.
Without expert advice you could pay yourself incorrectly – resulting in a large tax bill. Once submitted, these bills cannot be reversed.
If you have decided to use an accountant, make sure that there is an open flow of communication and a constant review process. You should be able to call and email them when needed without being charged exorbitant additional fees.

Today I want to talk to you about a new tool that I discovered a year ago. It's a walkie tool that's an absolute game changer on how you communicate in your business. This walkie talkie tool is called Voxer.
If I asked you what would be the main tool you use for communication with your team, your answer would probably be one of these tools: Email, Chat, SMS, Calls and Video Conferencing. While there's nothing wrong with using these common tools, it unfortunately eats a chunk of your time just using them. Imagine setting up a meeting, talking through your salient points, having someone take down notes and storing the notes somewhere accessible for reference on action items. Before something gets assigned and done, the day is already over.
Voxer sits nicely as an app that allows for instant messaging that is not so intrusive unlike a phone call or a video conference. It's simply a push-to-talk walkie-talkie app that allows you to deliver your message instantaneously, but allowing for a response or a message that is well-thought. While a usual Chat or SMS function will allow you the time to edit out your thoughts for delivery, it consumes time. Voxer just allows you to talk instead of typing and the next person can hear the message instantaneously and prepare their response
Voxer is very flexible. It's available on android and ios devices, and also has a web app, making it agnostic to the device. Voxer's features make it handy for those who are working remotely. It's definitely a must-try tool to download for your business, and today we're going to walk you through it so you can have a chance to take a look at its interface, before you start using Voxer.
Navigating your Voxer App
This is where you will be living in. Your chats will show the contacts you currently have conversations with. Here are several functions that are also very helpful in sending the message across to your contacts
- Take a Photo
You can take a video of yourself or a photo that can be attached and sent to your contact. You can also send an existing photo or video as well.
- Attach a File
Just like your regular chat window, you can attach a file, a photo, a screenshot, or any relevant item that you need to send quickly to your team or contact.
- Send Text Message
The beauty with Voxer is it allows you to send voice messages but give you the flexibility of also being able to send text messages as well.
This is where you can search for your contacts who have the Voxer app to start the conversation.
When you first install Voxer it will provide you a username with various characters and numbers. It would be useful to change your username to make it very simple, so you can easily provide your contact username to your other contacts who also have the Voxer app.
Using your Voxer App
Select a contact in your chats or search for a contact. You can also start by selecting the big Plus Icon at the bottom right and select whether you are going to have a Group Chat with several contacts, a Private Chat with a single contact or a Broadcast Message (a pro feature!) which can serve as an announcement to your team.
Inside the chat window, you can notice that the interface is very intuitive and simple. Your voice messages will come up as delivered, and heard real-time and you can see all these prompts inside the app. One of the advantages of the Pro version is the Recall button. This allows you to delete a message that was mistakenly recorded or sent, saving you from a possibly embarrassing situation and miscommunication.
Once the message is sent all you have to do is wait for a response. Once a response is received you can star the message. All starred messages will appear in a separate chat for starred messages which you can later check if you want to quickly reference a task that was mentioned earlier.
Overall, using Voxer is really simple, and will revolutionize the way you communicate with your team. It works well for project teams and enhances those that are mobile and working remotely, allowing for flexibility and efficiency in internal communication. Download the app now, import your contacts, start sending messages and see the world of difference it makes.

I stopped in at my store this morning to see What's New but didn't get a chance to try stuff on because my daughter was on a mad hunt for her doll she lost at the mall the other day so I had to oblige her and search all the places. They had the new Mind And Body Kits in Neutral Blush, Jumbo Dream Rose and I believe a third colorway – the Atomic Flower Silver Spoon. None of those colorways called to me so I didn't feel tempted. There were two new Dance Studio Jackets in, Neutral Blush with a gold zipper and Black Swan with a regular zipper but darker hood pulls. Also in was the solid Inkwell 105F Singlet and some new super thick knit shall scarves lined with fleece. I was on the hunt for the Weekend LS in the White/stripe but they didn't have any. There was also a white Seamlessly LS (like the Ebb and Flow/Seamless Tanks) but it had a faux chunky knit look to it. At first I thought it was a Swiftly LS but its thicker and without the silverscent texture. Really pretty alternative to Swiftly LS's I think.

|"Having said that" is a transitional phrase that has become more and more common in spoken language. When people say, "Having said that" it is a signal that they are going to say something which will contrast or disagree with what they said a moment ago. Take, for example, this quote from a man talking about his father's death:
|"He was 93 years old, so it was the natural way of things. Having said that, it's still a shock when it actually happens, when your parent dies."
|Here are two more examples from the Learner's Dictionary:

Don't be an undecided voter.
Election 2012
In honor of the election tomorrow, I wanted to post something with some humor. I am sure a bunch of you have seen this clip already when it aired on SNL a few weeks ago, but I loved it. There was a lot of talk about the "undecided" voters this election, and how they would decide the election. I don't like to discuss politics that much because it can start an argument at the drop of a hat, but these "undecided voters" are a joke. Truly. If you can't decide between apples and oranges then don't even bother voting.
Don't be an undecided voter.

|[jira] Commented: (CONFIGURATION-224) BaseConfiguration.getProperty() returns reference to intenal store collection object instead of a clone
|Wed, 13 Sep 2006 20:18:23 GMT
[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONFIGURATION-224?page=comments#action_12434537 ] Oliver Heger commented on CONFIGURATION-224: -------------------------------------------- I am still reluctant to add this copy operation to getProperty(). The getter methods that deal with collections like getList() and getStringArray() will perform another copy because they need to do interpolation. (So if somebody holds a collection or array returned by these methods, there won't be a problem.) Maybe the documentation of getProperty() should be changed to state that this method (depending on a specific implementation) may return an object that is under the control of the configuration instance and should not be manipulated or considered constant over time. This won't help you with your current problem. But can't you do the copy yourself for collection objects? I guess you will have a special treatment for collections anyway to compare the single elements, haven't you? > BaseConfiguration.getProperty() returns reference to intenal store collection object instead of a clone > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CONFIGURATION-224 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONFIGURATION-224 > Project: Commons Configuration > Issue Type: Bug > Environment: 1.3RC2 > Reporter: Gabriele Garuglieri > Priority: Minor > Attachments: list.patch > > > When the property object is a List or an Array, BaseConfiguration.getProperty() returns a reference to the object contained in the store. > This means that changing that object, changes the content of the properties store without an explicit setProperty() or addProperty(). > Also any change to the object in the store will change the object that the code has reference to, but the user is not aware that the property has changed unless he has added a ConfigurationListener. > Attached a patch to make the object returned by BaseConfiguration.getProperty() a clone of store content, to avoid side effects when changing Collection properties. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: email@example.com

The latest issue is called Journeys, and features some excellent pieces.
You can visit the Granta website by clicking the link above, and read quite a few of the pieces. Various travel writers such as Robert MacFarlane, Colin Thubron and Pico Iyer, all of which are excellent authors, and two of which I've heard speaking in person, are asked whether travel writing is dead?
Robert MacFarlane mentions 'The Living Mountain' once again (the focus for an SAGT workshop I did I few years ago that remains one of the more successful workshops that I led), and also the challenge facing writers today, as:
"the scale and structure of the Anthropocene charges travel literature with new obligations and confronts it with new crises: how to represent the dispersed consequences of climate change and mass extinction, for instance, or how to map and track the so-called 'hyperobjects' with which we are so entangled".
Worth getting hold of a hard copy...


text: On October 5, I woke up ready for the thrill of an exciting and bug-free retreat. Just kidding, I knew that when I woke up that early Thursday morning, I was ready to go back to sleep and I didn't want to face the bumpy and uncomfortable bus ride to Simi Valley. Am I saying I'm not grateful for the opportunity to go to a unique camping experience? No, I am just raising the question "Is it necessary?". Personally, I didn't exactly feel much closer to my peers than when I left. But I can see why some students felt it was a bonding experience as well. The main reason I didn't feel closer to my classmates, was because I got put in a group where I already knew everyone and there wasn't someone new that I should get to know better. This particularly meant that I couldn't really get engaged in getting to know someone that I hadn't before. I also know that other groups had students who were mostly returning and only one or two that were new. This is hard for the returning students because they already know their fellow classmates. I would say though, that the ropes course was quite fun and that I will remember climbing that course. The activity that I personally bonded the most with my group though was when we had to make a skit. It was interesting to see the ideas we came up with. Besides those key moments, I feel that I didn't get much closer with my peers. A suggestion would be to have more time with our advisories because those were the people I particularly wanted to bond with. I understand that this retreat was built to 'bond' with our classmates but I didn't really get to. The seniors also go on a retreat at the end of the year. But with that trip, it is more to have one last adventure and not so much as to get to know each other. The senior retreat is more detrimental, in my opinion, than the freshman retreat. But other than the snake in our bathroom and dead rats in another cabin, there wasn't too many animal encounters. But, of course, nature isn't something that can be controlled. Overall, adding more time with our advisories and sorting the groups better would defiantly add to the experience. But also spending time with classmates at school would be enough.

Ooh, an immediate test, I love it. The snow that started yesterday during my walk at Bare Cove Park piled up quickly, and our neighborhood hit the jackpot. There it was on the local news: South Weymouth, ten inches, the local snowfall champion of December 31, 2008. That meant before I got my walk in today, I had some work to do. I shoveled that snow for two and a half hours before I could get the car out of the driveway. The thermometer read 21 degrees Fahrenheit, but the wind chill made it feel like ten.
The car, though, was not in the plans . I started walking from home and headed for Columbian Square, the great crossroads of South Weymouth. It's a poorly designed crossroads, though, and walking to and through it gave me a new perspective on it. On a normal day, cars are coming from numerous directions, and just driving through it is taking your life in your hands. Storefronts? Ha! Forget it. Other than our favorite pizza place, I couldn't tell you the name of any store at the intersection. There's no time to look around while trying to avoid collisions.
In fact, the only person I saw when I reached the square today was a man hustling from that pizza place to his car with a large pizza in his hands. I lost track of time while shoveling, and didn'trealize it was lunch time. There was nobody heading for the Cameo Theater. An ambulance slipped through the square with its lights flashing, headed for South Shore Hospital. The Fogg Library was perfectly encased in snow, not a single footprint approaching it.
The world was otherwise silent as I hit the side streets for the walk back. I started to wonder what the first wild critter of the year would be. I was twenty-five minutes into my walk before a shadow flashed across the snow in front of me. I spun my head and looked skyward: a ring-billed gull. Figures. The great winged scavengers of the urban landscape. Two pigeons followed soon thereafter.
I was on Reed Street, just minutes from home, when the smell of a wood-burning stove hit me. Now that, that brings back memories. When I was just seven years old, after the Blizzard of '78 forced us out of our Hull home (we lost power, and therefore heat), my parents bought a stove for our den. Thirty years on, my mother still uses it. For a brief moment, I was seven again. Baseball cards, hot chocolate, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, Gi Joe, carrying loads of wood into the house...
Getting indoors again today was certainly welcome. I had been stopped by one man shoveling his driveway, who just had to ask, "Kind of a crazy day for a walk, huh?"
"Gotta start somewhere."
Time: 41 minutes
Other accomplishments: cleared the driveway, wrote a chapter in my latest manuscript, read thirty more pages in The Great Gypsy Moth War (projected, but attainable).
New wildlife for 2009: Ring-billed gull, rock pigeon, downy woodpecker, European starling.

However, you'd think I went daily if you saw the volumes of plastic bags I have in one of my tiny cupboards. First things first, I'm an old school grocery bagger. Picture it. Delchamp's. Mobile, Alabama, 1987. At 17 I was the grocery bagger boy. Did I hate that job? Of course. Did I learn how to properly bag groceries? I did indeed. You have to "start with a box," and honestly, today they just put like 1-2 items per plastic bag. I know, I know, I could - could, I say - bag my own groceries but that would take away from me reading InStyle or OK in the aisle, and why should I do their job for them? That's my time, I tell you. My time!
Sorry, a digression and vent there. Point of this post is that Blogger recommended some green blogs today, and I loved the name of this one, Haute*Nature. I totally am buying a couple of Baggu bags.

I've seen some of those fancy pants bags, the ones locally are like $65 which I won't cough up. I got bags and they're not the ones under my eyes, thank you very much.
BTW, not bagging your own groceries when I'm standing behind you? Watch your back because I'm going to kick your ass.
Kiss! Kiss!

Oooh! I'm so glad you posted this! I am so terrible at finding great things on the innernet and being able to locate the neat gadget I found three months ago.
If (and I do mean IF) I move to Chicago, I will so need one of those for trips to Trader Joe's as there is a Trader Joe's just a couple of blocks from where I'll be working. And if you don't think I'll be shopping at Trader Joe's, well you're wrong!
- Jo said...
Robby I ,command you to use reusable grocery bags. A, they hold a heap more than the grocery store ones B, one normal sized grocery store plastic bag contains enough oil to fuel an average sized car for 110 metres C, plastic bags escaping landfills are a leading killer of wildlife D, reusable bags is funky cool. Also very useful for things such as library books, gym gear, lugging vegetables out of the garden and so on. Mine were only 99 cents NZ at the grocery store. That's, like, free in US money.
- Robby Johnson said...
I bought 3 for $22 ($8 each). Not to worry, I'm all about environmental protection!
- Jo said...
Second challenge - remember to leave one in car at all times. This is harder than it sounds =).

Alone? Maybe not… [Border acceptance open]
Subject: Alone? Maybe not… [Border acceptance open]
July 23rd 2014, 10:04
The white female padded into the border as the cold winter snow started to fall lightly,
"Winter has come awfully early this year, I wonder what is going on!"
she said aloud thinking that she was alone in this beautiful snow covered area. The snow glistened like little ice crystals on the ground but as she walked threw it, she left paw prints behind. The female stopped dead in her tracks noticing another animals paw prints, they were quiet small so she reconized them right away
"It seems as if a small mouse has taken cover for the winter, I'm surprised that a fox did not get the small creature."
she said as she kept walking threw the border, she then stopped and sat in the snow after all the traveling she had done she needed a rest so she decided to sit down. As she sat In the snow to rest her paws she started to wonder if she was alone, then she let out a small yet loud howl to let any other wolf that was in the area know she was at the border.
"Hello? Is anyone else out here?"
The white female waited for a reply or atleast for someone to show up, she hated being alone, after all she had been alone for a few months. As she sat on the cold, glistening, white snow, she began to scan her surroundings for any other wolves or small animals, but she only noticed a small snow hare, her stomach was growling so she stood up, crouched down, slinked towards the small hare, but before she had a chance to attack it sensed her presence and took off running so the chase was on. After a few minutes of chasing the small hare around the border she finally pounced on it sinking her teeth into the small animal making it die instantly, once she had her kill she picked it up, went back to her original spot, lied down, and began to eat the hare.

Winter had certainly arrived in Helidos. And with it came a decline in available prey. Nnlya was doing her part for the pack. The hunters were over taxed as it was, their numbers dwindling. Recent intake had seen numerous healers and the odd caretaker cross their borders. But with more mouths to feed they needed more of those with the ability to hunt - whether that meant grouping together to take down large game or taking the initiative to go find smaller rodents that burrowed beneath the snow. On her border patrol the Elite scented one such rodent not far off. It had been a while since she had hunted such small game and she was out of practice. Quickly, on light pawsteps she traversed the forest floor, nose to the dirt. She crouched, muscles coiled ready for the attack. She sprung high into the air, pointing her paws and muzzle directly to the ground for better penetration upon impact. As she jumped a howl broke the air, scaring the rodent. As she landed, her muzzle met only snow. Her jaws did not taste the metallic tang of blood.
She cursed lowly under her breath. Straightening up, she shook the white from her fur. The rodent would have to wait for another time. She trotted off in the direction of the howl. Tail swishing elegantly behind her. Through the trees she was sure she couldn't be far, but she had yet to spot the distinctive colouring of a wolf. Drawing closer, the reasoning was clear. Yet another white wolf had found their borders. Instinctively her tail curled over her spine, her muzzle raised so that her head appeared proud and regal. Azure eyes bored into the female.
"Who are you and what are you doing on my borders?"
She inhaled through her nose, finding the scent of the female amongst the many other aromas of the forest. She was a little bit snappy, having failed what should have been such a simple hunt. All thanks to this wolf. It was unfair of her, really, the she-wolf had no way of knowing there was a hunt going on nearby.
Alone? Maybe not… [Border acceptance open]

The West Wing (1999)
1 factual error in In the Shadow of Two Gunmen: Part I
Starring: Allison Janney, Bradley Whitford, Dulé Hill, Janel Moloney, John Spencer, Joshua Malina, Martin Sheen, Richard Schiff, Rob Lowe, Stockard Channing
Genres: Drama
In the Shadow of Two Gunmen: Part I - S2-E1
Factual error: In the scene where the Secret Service chief is in the car with Bartlet and he suddenly realizes Bartlet's injured, he yells to the driver to get to GW Hospital and the limo does a screeching U-turn on what appears to be the Arlington Memorial Bridge. At the time they were supposed to be heading from Rosslyn, VA, where the event was, back to the White House. But GW is in DC, not that far from the White House, so although the U-turn looks cool, it doesn't make geographical sense. Also, in that one shot of the outside of the car, it appears to be pouring, while back at the scene of the shooting as well as ahead of them at the hospital entrance, it's not.

US conservative bill aims to axe EPA – here's why it won't work
IS THE US Environmental Protection Agency at death's door?
Hundreds of former EPA employees and some current staff have urged Congress to reject President Donald Trump's nominee to run the agency, Oklahoma attorney general Scott Pruitt. In the past, Pruitt backed industry interests over those of the regulator and led many lawsuits against it. He could be confirmed by Congress as early as this week.
Some expect him to move forward on Trump's campaign promise to "get rid of" the agency, although critics predict him doing so in a piecemeal manner by making cuts and weakening the EPA's powers.
An overhaul of the agency's website since Trump took over has already seen the removal of federal climate plans created under former president Barack Obama, along with the mention of carbon pollution as a cause of climate change.
In addition, a bill introduced by a Republican congressman on 3 February aims to axe the EPA altogether. But the move may be more of an anti-regulation rallying cry than a real harbinger of what's to come.
"Given the overwhelming public support for clean air and water, it seems unlikely members of Congress would do away with the agency," says Michael Tubman of the Center for Climate and Energy Solutions. "If they did, they'd have to find or create an agency to implement all of the environmental protections Congress has approved over the past 50 years."

Manufacturing loadcells since 1972
CNC Metal Spinning Machine Force Measurement
Ranges 3.8 and 5kN
The F268-Z4778 and Z4779 loadcells are designed for use in a high-precision CNC metal spinning machine. The loadcells were developed during the initial concept stage for the machine and form an integral part of the drive chain / control system. This offers direct measurement of the applied force and accurate feedback to the automated drives, allowing smooth and precise control during the spinning process. Facilitated by the provision of complete, detailed CAD layouts, governed by a Non-disclosure Agreement, Novatech was able to provide a solution that fitted into the available space, requiring only minor modification of a single part.
As a general process, metal spinning usually involves the cold forming of a thin disc of metallic material around a solid 3D forming element. When done using semi-automated machines, the tool applying pressure to the work piece is often a uniquely profiled roller, mounted on an x/y stage. These are guided by linear guide rails and positioned using servomotors connected to precision ball screw assemblies. In this case, the loadcells were mounted on blocks that were connected to the individual stages, one for the x-axis and one for the y-axis, each housing a supporting bearing for the corresponding ball screw assembly. The flanged nut of the ball screw assemblies were then fixed to the live end of the loadcells in such a way that they could not rotate. Subsequently, when the ball screws are driven by the servomotors, the nuts are forced to travel up or down the length of the ball screw and take with them the loadcell and connected x/y stage. The loadcells measure the force exerted between the ball screw nut and the block that moves the relevant stage. This force will be greater the more the servomotor has to work against the reaction force at the forming roller. A feedback loop is thereby created, allowing the servomotor to maintain the correct force at the roller. Due to frictional forces, the ball screw nut exerts a torque on the loadcells, which needed to provide accurate axial force measurement whilst negating any torque induced error.

best game
What got me intrigued was the 7th class(at the skill tree all class are around another), it's not liberated yet but as it's central must be awesome…
Hey mmobomb i need beta key for next beta test in 11/05/2012 – 13/05/2012
closed beta tester here lvl 78 and 1 of the best of server 🙂 now quit the game though cause i finished it already in close beta all endgame gears weapons etc…good game but too quick to complete..community is very kiddy and lots of gays…another bad thing no pvp…played for 2 months but at the end got bored cya
Hard to get a beta key, the beta invite timer is crap
1 key invite per 5 mins
5 mins x 12 = 1 hr
12 keys x 24hr = 288 beta invites per day
Still haven't received a key. Wtf…….
Normal since there 400.000 + sign ups…. xD
I was going nuts with the low hp telling myself
http://www.pathofexile.com is the place 🙂
Check out there support page if you want a beta right away ^^
you suck at this game!
I asked…and you delivered. 🙂 Thank you much! 🙂
Cool I ll sign up and see if I get a key, I miss the old days of diablo 2. 🙂
Looks like a good game ill try it out for sure tks for the review magicman hope it will go out to open beta soon
Great looking game and great first look…. loved seeing magicman getting pwned because its nice to know that even professionals can choke sometimes.
I played this game in both betas and it sux.
first off there are only 4 stages, after you complete a series of story quest that last only about 2 hours time and is completely soloable you end up starting over again and again the monsters may get tougher but it becomes more about farming gear and gems while grinding levels than about fighting bosses and exploring there is no replay value.
second once you reach the max level cap and finish the 4th repeated zone you basically are done there is just a series of looping zones with clusters of monsters thats meaningless to fight
third the drops are so totally random you can get a better drop off a low level peon in the first zone than the epic boss in the last zone which makes no sense.
fourth the dungeons are all too easy and too short, 15 minutes to pass ANY dungeon solo and that's if you farm it out and completely clear it, less than 4 minutes if you know the path (which you will after the 2nd repeat).
This game feels more like it belongs on Facebook its so horrible and I wouldn't touch it if they paid me to play it.
so you haven't read the info of the game right?
it's CLOSED BETA and not all content is in the game at the moment, more to come for open beta and even more on release…
Drop wise: you are 50% right…it's the level that changes on items, so you CAN get a good drop from the starting zone but it won't last long.
Bosses: you are right, but even D2 wasn't about bosses…in the end it was only farming diablo to get items and levels…dunno bout D3 and i think it's the same after release…
1. GGG working on the game story and lore and will include it in next patches.
"starting over again and again the monsters may get tougher but it becomes more about farming gear and gems while grinding levels than about fighting bosses and exploring there is no replay value." – its the idea of ARPG. Blizzard tried to make a new product with a unique system (dynamic environment) which involves players to play D3 again and again. And they did it – its good. But they forgot to ask customers "what also they need?" they fail the skill system which will lead to lose of some part of customers.
2.There will be PvP leagues and many other (you can read here http://www.pathofexile.com/leagues/)
3. Agree, but developers are working on it.
4. – Normal difficulty in POE more harder than in D3.
– There will be 2 more acts. First in open beta and Second – on the release.
– "fourth the dungeons are all too easy and too short" – only in act 1 (but, it takes more time to complete Act 1 in POE then in D3). And same I can say about D3 1 act. As example, I complete act 1 in diablo 3 in 1 hour with barb and used 1 t potion on the Leoric (that was my first run in D3). I complete act 1 in POE in ~3 hours.
PS: sorry for my English.
as i play both of diablo III and poe beta i think diablo III is not diablo any more :its the mutied baby for diablo 2:(
for path of exile its diablo2 with finalfantsy 10 skill tree amazing game you should give it a try 🙂
nice game i go play after firefall i have key nou im lvl 11 its zo coooool
man, I wish that beta keys were available, I can't find any…anywhere.
support the company and pay 10 bucks for it –> profit ^^
great first look….looks like a grind feast but a good game
I swear we already had a first look for this game at the site..In fact so much so I would swear you already did this a long time ago.
Could someone please link the site or anything related?
you and me both i want to try the beta to at the very least to get a taste of it to see if i will enjoy it
Played PoE during the Public Stress Test, and I was really impressed by it.
The skill web is HUGE, which I love because it allows you to customize your characters skills/gameplay how you want it.
I'm really looking forward to the official release.
I'll prefer Diablo III 😀

Honda may bring latest motoscooter to India
Honda Motorcycles and Scooters Limited (HMSI) had already confirmed launching an all-new two-wheeler in India. There have been numerous speculations on whether it will be a premium offering or something which will be offered for the commuter space. Now in a new development, HMSI has patented the X-ADV in India, according to a new report from Rushlane. The Honda X-ADV is a moto-scooter which can be ridden both on and off the road. The moto scooter made its debut at the 2016 EICMA show.
The X-ADV motoscooter has been designed by Honda's Italian R&D department. The styling looks rugged with a decent amount of ground clearance as well. The console gets a 5-step adjustable screen above the front windshield to protect the rider from wind-blasts. Yes, the rider may face wind-blasts considering it has got a 745cc engine.
Speaking of engines, the X-ADV gets a 745cc engine, of course, which produces 53.6ps and is mated to Honda's DCT automatic transmission. There are two riding modes D and S.
Patenting a design is a widespread procedure carried out by various manufacturers and designers. The patent confers a right or title for a set period to a particular entity, a sole right to exclude others in the same business from making, using, or selling an invention. In layman terms, the design or other elements of a particular model cannot be replicated by other manufacturers. But this does not mean that the particular product which has been patented will be launched in the country as well.
However, coming to the Honda X-ADV, if HMSI does bring it in India, the price will be around the Rs 8-10 lakh bracket, ex-showroom. A scooter to buy for that amount, who's willing?

Yesterday at Starkville Woman's Club, book reviewer Jenny Reed discussed several books she recommends for Christmas gift giving, or just to expand our minds.
The latter mission had me rushing for the library to pick up a copy of "The Shallows" which she noted is a somewhat disturbing look at how the internet is affecting our brains and our lives.
Nicholas Carr's "The Shallows" examines how the net's revolving and flashing ads, lists of related content, click-to-play videos, and embedded links are distractions that interfere with our ability to ponder, to think deeply, and to remember the words that follow.
Carr argues convincingly that the brain is shaped (literally) by the repetition of these distractions, and made shallow.
Reed said she was shocked when caught herself chatting with a friend while playing a non-stop game of internet solitaire. Are we even capable of doing one thing at a time these days?
In the meantime, Twitter and Facebook feeds us their drips of disruption, letting us beg for our celebrity. But they are fun, and they make us feel like we belong, or at least that we haven't missed out on something.
In a review of the book (which of course, I googled) Carr reportedly spends chapters walking us through a variety of historical experiments and laymen's explanations on the workings of the brain. He quickly launches into one of the book's foundations: a deep discussion of neuroplasticity which immediately lost me.
For years, neurologists held that our brain structure doesn't change much. A breakthrough series of experiments by researcher Michael Merzenich in 1968 showed definitively that brain structure does, in fact, change; like plastic.
As biologist Eric Kandel demonstrated, neurons work together to form paths, and neurologist Vilayanur Ramachandran's experiments on amputees showed how neural pathways formed over a lifetime can slowly rewire themselves in the form of phantom limbs.
The linkage that Carr is building, of course, is that the Web and Web tools we use today are starting to form neural pathways in our plastic brains, shaping what and how we think. Beyond providing an overview of the science of the brain, Carr shows how our brains have been shaped or reshaped. Interesting.
