How to get rid of PCR primer dimer
2) Try a two step PCR. There is a paper in Biotechniques about a two step PCR reaction but I don't have the reference with me since I'm at home and it's in lab. Its worth looking up. Basically you've got template plus forward primer in one tube and template plus reverse primer in another tube and then do between 1-15 rounds of PCR. Then combine the contents of the two tubes and do your normal 25 rounds of PCR. Sometimes this allows the primer to bind to the template effectively and allow you to get some initial transcripts which will then bind to each other when you combine the contents of the two tubes.
3) If you're not using a polymerase for high GC content, then get one. It will save you a lot of hassle. It won't solve your problem but it will help you narrow down things when troubleshooting. KOD XL polymerase (novagen) isn't sensitive to DMSO up to 5% and it helped me get all of my mutants but not without a lot of tries just because the GC content of primer and template were over 60%. Some people like the quik change kit by stratagene but I never got it to work, which is really expensive when its $600 a kit for 30 rxn or something like that. To each his own.
4) I wouldn't go below 55 deg for an annealing temp. 50 might be fine but below that you're pushing your luck with trying to have a high enough temp to resolve any hairpin structures which are common in high GC rich primers not to mention possibly decreasing the specificity of matching primer and template.
good luck! it takes a lot of troubleshooting and its hard to get consistent results.

I agree with Myworkismyplay. Redesign primer would work. What we should remember that we should do it carefully and test the redesigned primers by some biosofts or websites like IDT.

McMINNVILLE, Ore. – It was a tale of two games for Pacific against No. 3 Linfield on Saturday: The game with
(Jr., Wahiawa, Hawaii) and the game without him.
The junior quarterback paced the Boxers through a close game until being forced to the sidelines midway through the second quarter with an injury. The Wildcats took advantage, scoring 30 unanswered points over a 24-minute span on their way to a 51-17 rout of the Boxers in Northwest Conference football action at Maxwell Field.
Pacific found themselves in a close battle with the Wildcats in the first half, coming within 14-10 on a
(So., Stockton, Calif.) 39-yard field goal with 10:21 left in the second quarter. After forcing a safety on the Boxers' next possession, the Wildcats rattled off the string of 30 that would not end until the 1:13 mark of the third quarter.
With the loss, Pacific falls to 3-6 overall and finishes fifth place in the NWC at 2-4. Linfield, who clinched their fourth NWC championship last weekend, completed an undefeated regular season by going 9-0, 6-0 NWC.
Head Coach
praised his players for their fight throughout the game, even with the adversity of injuries against one of the nation's top Division III programs. "We challenged the guys to come out fighting. Linfield is the No. 3 team in the country for good reason, and we hung with them and fought," he said. "Unfortunately, P.J. goes down and can't come back in and we struggled after that. But I am very proud of our fight and proud of everyone sticking with it and putting their best foot forward today and all season."
Minaya completed 8 of 16 passes for 58 yards and a touchdown before leaving the game.
(Fr., Waimea, Hawaii), who played most of the second half for the Boxers, completed 5 of 11 passes for 67 yards and a touchdown.
(So., Sherwood, Ore.) led 13 Pacific players to catch balls with three receptions for 30 yards while
(So., Escalon, Calif.) rushed 12 times for 28 yards. The Boxers found themselves limited to a season-low 150 yards, 143 of those coming in the air.
Linfield quarterback Mickey Inns completed 24 of 35 passes for 362 yards and four touchdowns. Deidre Wiersma proved Inn's favorite target, catching nine balls for 128 yards and a touchdown while Charlie Poppen caught six passes for 94 yards and a pair of scores. Tavon Willis rushed six times for 36 yards. Linfield finished with 500 yards of total offense, with 425 yards coming in the passing game.
Villareal-Gomez provided a bright spot for the Boxers as he became the career record holder for point-after kicks made. He connected on his 44th and 45th in the game to surpass the previous record of 44 set by Cub Shulund from 1986 to 1987. Punter
(Jr., Wilsonville, Ore.) also played a big role in the game, punting nine times for an average of 43.4 yard per punt and had one of 58 yards.
Linfield needed little time to convert the opening kickoff into the game's first touchdown, going 63 yards in two minutes. Stephen Nasca ended the drive with a 4-yard run to make it a 7-0 game. The Wildcats stopped the Boxers on their first possession, but
(So., Elk Grove, Calif.) forced Kyle Belcher to fumble on the Wildcats' next play, giving the Boxers the ball on the Wildcats' 29-yard line. The Boxers needed six short plays to tie the score with Minaya finding
(Jr., Lewiston, Idaho) for a 10-yard touchdown pass to tie it at 7-7 with six minutes gone.
The defenses on both teams held strong for much of the rest of the quarter before Inns found Wiersma for a 42-yard touchdown strike with 25 seconds left that made it a 14-7 lead at the end of one.
Pacific benefited from a second Linfield fumble for the first scoring drive of the second quarter as
(Jr., Imbler, Ore.) forced the ball out of Nasca's hands at the Linfield 33-yard line. Minaya moved the ball down to the 22-yard line, and
(So., Stockton, Calif.) converted a 39-yard field goal to make it a 14-10 game with 10:21 left in the half.
Minaya would not throw another pass the rest of the game, leaving with an unspecified injury, and the whole complexion of Pacific's game changed. Linfield's run of 30 unanswered points began with the defense when they collected a safety at the 7:48 mark off a fumble by reserve quarterback
(Jr., Lodi, Calif.).
The Wildcats would then score on each of their final three possessions of the half. John Shaffer's 8-yard run with 4:36 left made it 23-10. Inns then found Poppen for a 10-yard touchdown reception with 1:21 left. They repeated the scoring combination with 11 seconds left, with Poppen catching a 9-yard pass that gave the Wildcats the commanding 37-10 halftime lead.
Shaw entered the game for Pacific at quarterback and the Pacific offense regained some of their groove. The freshman paced the Boxers on an 11-play that ate up six minutes of clock, but a missed 45-yard field goal by Villareal-Gomez left Pacific without points on the board. Inns made the Boxers pay on one play as he found David Sigler for a 71-yard touchdown pass that increased the Linfield lead to 44-10.
Pacific put an end to the scoreless drought with 1:13 left as Shaw found
(Jr., Quinault, Wash.) for his first reception of the season, a 54-yard touchdown that brought the Boxers within 44-17.
The Pacific defense limited Linfield's scoring in the fourth quarter, blocking a Josh Kay 21-yard attempt with 9:50 to go and forcing a 44-yard miss with 5:32 left. Linfield would tack on one more score late in the game when Matt Yarbrough found Colin Nelson for a 9-yard score with 2:05 left.
Buckley singled out the efforts by the defense throughout the game. "All season long the defense has picked up the offense and the offense has picked up the defense. That is what team football is," he said. "They caused some turnovers and made up for mistakes that have happened. The defense came out and flew around and played great, especially at the onset of the game."
(So., Canby, Ore.) led all defensive players with eight tackles, all solo efforts, including one tackle for loss. Brinkworth had five tackles and forced two of the three Linfield fumbles. Dom Forrest led Linfield with six tackles, one tackle for loss and an interception.

When I was a kid, I remember my mom use to bring home these little boxes of mini cakes around Christmas time.They were cute, bite size and had little delicious layers. It wasn't until I was older than I learned these were called Petit Fours which is French for "little oven" and translates to a small, square-cut, frosted and decorated piece of pound cake or sponge cake.
Aside from being cute, they are perfect for a quick dessert fix if you're having company over or just want to have a kid size dessert one evening.
To really make things easy, you can start with a frozen Sara Lee pound cake right from the start, thus the "no bake" part of this dessert. I also began by trimming the crust from the top and sides so I could start with a nice rectangular block of pound cake.
Next you'll want to slice the pound cake into even squares. They don't have to be perfect, but it helps keep all of your petit fours the same size.
Of course I wanted to add a filling so I sliced each block into 1/4 inch layers.
Now for the filling. You could of course use whatever you'd like whether it be a buttercream, jam, jelly or even vanilla pudding with a hint of color like I used.
Simply spread your filling on top of the pound cake and continue to stack the layers about four slices high.
The fun part is giving the petit fours a beautiful and sweet glaze. Start by setting them on top of a cake rack that is placed over a baking pan to catch the run off.
For the recipe, I used Wilton's poured fondant recipe which you simply pour over each little cake and let them dry.
You can also go ahead and add a little decoration at this point.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Worried that questioning your doctor will damage your relationship or make for an awkward office visit? Time to untie your tongue.
Asking a few key questions at your next appointment could save you both money and exposure to medical risks. Meanwhile, more doctors are volunteering to help the conversation along and prescribe evidence-based conservative measures first.
To curb wasteful medical spending and to protect people from potentially dangerous overtreatment, nine medical-specialty societies representing 374,000 physicians recently recommended that doctors go slow in some cases instead of reaching for the tools they've become accustomed to grabbing right away.
That means forgoing things like routine EKGs when low-risk patients have no symptoms of heart trouble and waiting six weeks before sending patients with uncomplicated lower back pain for imaging tests. Also on the list of unnecessary items: routine chest X-rays before surgery and automatic antibiotics to treat sinusitis.
"There are times when every single one of these things is appropriate, but not all the time, not for everyone and certainly not on a routine basis," said Dr. Christine Cassel, president of the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) Foundation in Philadelphia, which initiated the campaign called Choosing Wisely.
The doctor groups, which represent family physicians, kidney specialists, oncologists and cardiologists, among others, released lists of the top five tests and procedures they say are frequently overused in their respective subspecialties. Read about them at the ABIM project website, ChoosingWisely.org.
The ABIM Foundation then partnered with consumer groups such as Consumer Reports and AARP to explain the findings to the public.
"It was the right idea at the right moment that didn't involve the government or insurance companies," Cassel said of the campaign.
In the fall, eight more medical-specialty societies are expected to release their lists of tests and procedures that patients and doctors should question.
Overuse of medical resources happens for several reasons, including doctors' longstanding habits, fear of malpractice lawsuits and financial incentives that reward them for doing more, not less. And patients sometimes demand more tests and treatments than are necessary.
Worries that insurers will stop covering the listed items or that doctors won't ever offer aggressive care is wrongheaded, said Shannon Brownlee, author of the book "Overtreated" and the acting director of the New America Foundation's health policy program in Washington.
"Physicians want to help their patients," she said. "The key is to improve the conversation between them and get a stronger dose of reality in many conversations."
For example, the American College of Radiology recommends against using CT scans to confirm suspected appendicitis in children without first considering ultrasound, which reduces radiation exposure. Excess radiation is a big concern for kids, who have more future years than adult patients to develop potential harm from it.
Concern about overuse extends to end-of-life care as well.
"Patients are increasingly aware that there is a real downside to our hyperaggressive form of medicine, and it really shows itself when our parents are old and frail," Brownlee said.
Dr. John Santa, director of Consumer Reports' Health Ratings Center in Yonkers, N.Y., said the idea is to identify "areas where the system has clearly gone overboard," not to make doctors practice "cookbook" medicine or stir up fears about health-care rationing.
"Rationing occurs when people who need something have to do without," Santa said. "That's not what's going on here."
Here are five questions to ask your doctor about a recommended test or treatment:
- What are my options?
- What are the risks and benefits of each option? Make sure you understand the risks. For tests, one risk is often the potential for misleading results that lead to more risk and anxiety from invasive follow-up procedures.
- What happens if we wait or do nothing? Sometimes there's no harm in waiting.
- What does this test measure? How will the results change the course of my treatment? "Any test should result in something to do," Santa said. Question the accuracy of the test as well. "How good a test is depends on the probability prior to the test that you have the disease in the first place," he said.
- Who will contact me about the results and what happens if they are abnormal?

The best EM opportunities in 2016
Abdallah Guezour (pictured), head of Emerging Markets Debt Absolute Return, Nick Brownand Guillermo Besaccia, fund managers at Schroders comment on the outlook for emerging markets in 2016.
After yet another challenging year for emerging market debt characterised by a collapse in currencies and a spike in a number of local bond yields, attractive investment opportunities have started to appear.
The recent bear market has led to an improvement in valuations and to some positive policy inflexions, with Argentina becoming the latest country to embrace change.
However, the pockets of value in emerging markets (EM) should currently be seized with caution, flexibility and a particular focus on liquid assets. While local currency bonds in countries such as Indonesia, India, Russia, South Africa, Argentina and Brazil could perform reasonably well in 2016, other sectors of the market should be avoided.
This is particularly the case in EM hard currency debt (i.e. US dollar-denominated sovereign and corporates) which remains the next shoe to drop for the EM re-pricing cycle to becomplete.
Outlook clouded by Fed actions and China growth
The US Federal Reserve (Fed) finally initiated its monetary tightening cycle in December. This decision to hike rates was widely anticipated and is long overdue.
The key concern now is that this slow process of monetary normalisation may have started too late and in an already unfavourable environment of depressed global credit conditions, persistent deflationary pressures and decelerating global growth.
While the Fed has started to tighten, other key central banks (European Central Bank, Bank of Japan and People's Bank of China) are continuing to pursue activist monetary policies but with very limited impact so far on global economic activity. Judging by the continued elevated level of capital flight from China, we are particularly concerned that the recent measures implemented by Chinese authorities appear to be failing to restore confidence in the country's economic outlook.
Therefore, China's deflating credit system remains the most serious structural threat to global financial stability. China's credit cycle remains dangerously overextended.
We returned from our recent research trip to China with the view that some encouraging policy initiatives were starting to be taken in order to reduce inventories and excess capacity in some sectors of the economy. However, these initiatives are still at the early stages and remain underwhelming, especially given the extent of the credit problems which continue to accumulate.
Total credit outstanding remains unsustainably high and is on the verge of exceeding 300% of GDP.
Following the market panic of August 2015, various monetary measures, financial repression, moral suasion and the tightening of capital controls led to some stabilisation in China's financial markets.
This period of relief appears to be ending given the current renewed pressures on the renminbi and on the stockmarket. China exhausted, in succession, key sources of financial liquidity during the course of the last few years as well as the current difficulties faced in restarting these engines of credit creation.
The deflationary pressures emanating from China, as highlighted by the charts above, have become widely publicised and a number of EM local debt markets have already cheapened accordingly. Key EM countries have also now adjusted, to some extent, to the new reality of collapsing demand from China.
While EM local debt has become cheap…
Currencies served as a shock absorber during the bear market of the last three years. These devaluations allowed most EM countries to improve competitiveness and to restore balance of payments sustainability. This can be seen in the improvements in EM trade balances (albeit mostly as a result so far of contracting imports) and in the lower reliance on short-term foreign capital
Therefore, the recent collapse in EM currencies has probably gone too far. We believe that major EM countries have witnessed in succession what appears to be the final "overshooting" phase of their currency devaluation cycle. This was the case of India in 2013, Russia in 2014, Brazil, Turkey and South Africa at different points in time during 2015.
We cannot yet say with strong conviction that this apparent domino effect is complete, especially given the risk of further dislocations which could result from the potential failure of Chinese authorities to contain the persistent pressures on the renminbi.
However, the compelling valuations of selected currencies and the high yields on offer in a number of local bonds could lead these markets to generate US dollar returns in excess of 10% in the
next 12 to 18 months.
…External debt remains the next shoe to drop
In contrast, expected returns in EM external debt are likely to disappoint. The challenging growth backdrop highlighted above and the deteriorating credit quality has yet to be fully reflected in the level of EM sovereign and corporate spreads, which remain far too tight.
A low exposure to EM external debt remains warranted, especially given the illiquid nature of this sector and the potential acceleration in outflows.
Asia: India and Indonesia still offer the most attractive investment opportunities
India and Indonesia have not yet fully seen the rewards from their better policy frameworks, ameliorated external accounts and lower inflation. We retain small exposures to Indian and Indonesian local bonds (unhedged) and stand ready to increase these positions
when they show more resilience to external shocks.
Valuations in most other Asian fixed income and currency markets remain unappealing and do not compensate investors against the downside risks emanating from China's economic woes. The main exception is the Malaysian ringgit, which has already experienced a substantial devaluation.
EEMEA: Russia and South Africa are our top 2016 picks
The recent Russian ruble weakness is challenging the outlook for additional monetary easing. Given the large gains already achieved by Russian local government bonds in 2015, it is now warranted to take some profits with the view to reinstate this position at higher yield levels in Q1 2016.
Russia is experiencing a protracted economic downturn as a result of the collapse in oil prices. Authorities have shown a strong commitment to maintaining a tight fiscal policy and the central bank is likely to regain its ability to cut rates during the course of 2016.
In South Africa, the recent shocking mismanagement of the appointment of a new Finance Minister by President Zuma has been severely punished by the markets with a spike in bond yields and a currency collapse. These moves appear to be overdone, especially given the recent attempts of the leadership to regain some credibility. We are looking for opportunities to re-establish
exposure to South African local rates (which recently paid 10.5% on 10-year bonds).
Latin America: Mexico and Chile remain strong
Given the continued strong macroeconomic fundamentals of Mexico and Chile, the recent depreciation of their currencies appears overdone. This weakness should be used to accumulate positions in exchange rates of Mexico and Chile.
Recent elections in Argentina and Venezuela highlight that the region is moving away from left-wing populism. While Venezuela is still at the early stages of accomplishing this transition, change has already occurred in Argentina following the recent election of
President Macri who is in the process of introducing market friendly reforms. This opening up and the recently announced devaluation of the peso should provide attractive multi-year investment opportunities in Argentina's local bond market.
Brazilian local bonds and currency have started to show some resilience in the face of escalating negative news headlines. This shows that the attractive valuations on offer (10-year government bond yield at 16.4%) are now providing an important cushion. We maintain a small core exposure to Brazilian local bonds and we stand ready to increase the position to significantly higher levels in
2016. We expect inflationary pressures to show signs of abating during the year.
Political uncertainties, which remain another key concern for investors in Brazil, have already been discounted to a large degree.

Fieckert shot everytime she touched the ball because she was all Sheridan County had, and her teams went nowhere. Dockter had many opportunities to continue her bb career after HS, but chose not to. Besides, she tore her ACL in her final game at the state tourney and that cemented her decision to call it quits.

Well, it reads like an essay, but this piece by David Hayward is actually a transcript of a talk given at the "Under The Mask, Perspectives on the Gamer" event a few days ago (slides included!). It's a brilliant and somewhat lengthy piece on culture-with-a-small-c, as it relates to gaming (as, in Hayward's appraisal, just about everyone is a gamer these days by some definition or another). Games, despite coming off as a niche subculture at times, are worming their way into all aspects of society:
There are still people who fail to understand games and fear them, but with the publication of books like Grand Theft Childhood, dust is beginning to settle on the paranoid scare mongering so often stirred up by the anti-videogame lobby. Everyone is surrounded by increasing amounts of technology, and interacts with it more each passing month. People are primed to play games, and videogames are now going to keep spreading and adapting to new markets ....
I think our industry is progressing marvelously. I'm proud to be a gamer, I'm proud to work with games, and I can't wait to see where else they go this century.
Definitely worth a read - it's long, but interesting and has some great points within.

National Park - Salinas Arenales de San Pedro del Pinatar
Go on a holiday in a NOVASOL holiday home near the lovely national park "Salinas Arenales de San Pedro del Pinatar" which is located near the lagoon "Mar Menor". Experience the beaches and lagoons in this charming area close to Murcia. Wide, shallow and sandy beaches are usual in here and they are no longer than 20 minutes from the NOVASOL holiday villas. The shallow water, soothing ocean and wide beaches make this holiday perfect for swimming, relaxing and de-stressing; especially for parents. If you do not wish to go the ocean then there is a lovely area between San Javier and San Pedro del Pinatar which consists of soft hills, fields and pine tree forests. You can also go to see the so called "White Mountains" in the national park. These are hills of salt which has been gathered. There is a large industrial salt production in the area. Some of the world's most sought after salt comes from this region and gets used in kitchens all over the world. The salt is extracted without use of chemicals and machines; instead the workers wait for the sun to make the water evaporate so that the salt can be gathered. The national park and the large salt areas give this place a very special atmosphere. There are a lot of different animals living here: You can see birds such as flamingos and herons that stop in the area for a break from their trip southbound. The area is very popular among photographers as well. The animal life, unique minerals and bacteria give the area a special character that is great for taking photos. Last but not least the area is popular among cyclists. Catch a break from your experiences in one of the many beach bars with a view over the lovely ocean. Book your NOVASOL holiday home and get to experience all of these various attractions.

Japan has seen no end of troubles in the last year as natural disasters and stagnant growth have weighed on the Nikkei stock index, which finished out 2011 at its lowest level since 1982. Even bottom feeders have had a hard time finding a reason to buy Japanese equities.
But some contrarian investors like portfolio manager Josh Strauss (left) of the Appleseed Fund are waking up to the fact that "the cheapest stock market in the world that everybody hates," as Strauss calls Japan, is presenting some great buying opportunities.
"Historically, the investment case for avoiding the Japanese market has merit, but these negatives are well priced into the Japanese stock market and then some, in our opinion," Strauss told AdvisorOne on Monday. "We own some Japanese companies that are trading below the cash on their balance sheet."
The negatives of the Japan story are clear, Strauss conceded: last year's earthquake and tsunami, stagnant growth, demographic pressures from an aging population, and the Japanese tendency to under-invest in stocks while overinvesting in savings accounts earning close to 0%.
Appleseed has a 100% hedge on its yen position through the futures markets, so it is long Japanese stocks but short the currency. The yen is at a nine-month low against the dollar, which is supporting Japanese exporters.
As for the notorious Yakuza, the Japanese criminal group whose godfather was banned last Thursday by the Treasury from entering U.S. markets, Strauss said the group doesn't impact his investments.
"It's not part of our stock selection process. I don't even think about it," he said. "I would be as fearful about the Yakuza infiltrating Japanese business as I would the Mafia infiltrating U.S. business."
Even before the earthquake, Japanese stocks were in a two-decade bear market and trading at compelling valuations, Strauss noted last year in the Chicago-based Appleseed-Fund's semi-annual report. For example, he wrote, the benchmark Nikkei index of the Tokyo Stock Exchange was trading at an attractive price to book value of 1.0x.
"The Japanese economy, which was not especially strong prior to this sequence of unfortunate events, has since weakened significantly and undoubtedly is in recession," Strauss wrote. "The good news is that the Japanese people are extremely resilient and resourceful, having demonstrated time and again that they can bear the unbearable."
For contrarians, that means some intriguing investment opportunities. Strauss includes the following four Japanese companies in his portfolio of stocks for the Appleseed Fund. These four stocks comprise roughly 13% of the portfolio:
- Shimano (7309-JP)–"Think of them as the Intel of bicycle component companies," Strauss said. "They dominate their market share of bicycles that cost more than $150." The vast majority, 88%, of sales is outside Japan. Positive investment characteristics include a recognized brand, strong balance sheet, top-notch engineering squad and no earthquake exposure.
- Mabuchi Motor (6592-JP)–This company manufactures small DC motors used in products such as digital cameras. Free cash flow positive for the last 10 years, Mabuchi has a 50% market share globally and a current 2.7% dividend yield.
- Rohm (6593-JP)–With a moderately attractive growth profile, Rohm is a diversified semiconductor producer. The company got hurt by the earthquake and flooding, yet the stock trades at 0.7 to book. "It's very cheap," Strauss said.
- Dr. Ci: Labo (4924-JP)–A high-end skin care manufacturer, Dr. Ci: Labo is an "extremely" profitable and growing medical skin care company whose founder and owner is a dermatologist, according to Strauss. The domestically oriented company has ROE of 20%.

Each post this month of April will be a Devotional on the security we have in God. My hope is that God will use these words to encourage you on your daily paths.
"We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed." 2 Corinthian 4:8-9
The delicate orchid flowers have adapted to grow in the cool tundra of the sub-arctic to the heat of the deserts in Arabia and Australia. Most bloom in harsh rainforest environments where the orchids large roots can quickly absorb nutrients and water, as well as store water to be resilient during potentially harmful dry periods. Orchids are also known to have symbiotic relationships with fungi to provide nourishment, protecting them from perishing.
God has designed the orchid to adapt to environments that appear too difficult to survive. Yet He has given them all they need to thrive where they are planted. We too, can be secure that God has given us all we need to not be crushed, struck down, or destroyed. We are nourished with the living water of His words. He protects us from our enemies. He relieves us of our pressures when we cast our anxieties on Him. And we are never alone, secure in His love for us, and His promise of life eternal.

Posts Tagged 'debug'
I have been doing lots of Papervision 3D for a project recently and needed to debug some placement and camera issues. I did a quick search and found PV3DDebug by Jason Bejot and it worked out great and is a pretty sweet utility I thought I would mention when you need to debug Papervision or even for inclusion as a debug console in all your papervision apps and games. It is a good base for your own consoles or debug panels. It is also a great tool to help out with focus and zoom issues and understanding with camera placement.
The code is really easy to drop in and you can get lots of info on the PV3D scenes and camera manipulation.

479° Has Nailed the Sweet Popcorn Game
Over the past few weeks I've been on a mission. See it occurred to me recently that kettle corn is the great underrated sweet snack, the perfect game day treat for those who are sweets-inclined. Brownies and cookies are great at most occasions, but they don't allow for extended, hours long grazing and munching.
So I went out and sourced as much kettle corn as I could find, until my kitchen looked like its own aisle at the supermarket. The disappointments were great and varied. Some tasted like practically nothing at all—stale popcorn slicked in a slight corn syrup film. Some were tooth-achingly sweet, the sugar crystals crunching and adhering themselves to my molars. Others tried to leverage the classic buttery taste, making each bite taste like I had taken a mistaken combination mouthful of Sugar Babies and movie theater popcorn. Given how good most savory popcorn is, it was surprising how difficult it seemed to make it sweet.
And then I received my delivery from 479°. The founder, Jean Arnold, has been a popcorn obsessive since childhood. She decided to put her degree from Le Cordon Bleu in London to work, making gourmet popcorn out of her house in San Francisco. The name of the company, 479°, refers to what she believes is the optimal temperature for popping the corn.
My delivery included a variety of sweet popcorn. All were air-popped, gluten-free, and used organic ingredients when possible. So how did they taste?
Awesome, across the board. Sea Salt Caramel is the closest in the line to traditional kettle corn. It's made with organic heirloom non-gmo popcorn, organic agave nectar, brown sugar, butter, coconut oil, and sea salt, and unlike some of the salted kettle corn I've tried, it's well balanced between salty and sweet. The caramel tastes like homemade caramel—a rare feat in a world where most supermarket snacks that claim to be caramel-flavored actually just taste like super-sweet sugar—with notes of toffee and brown sugar. The popcorn is a little sticky by nature, but the contrast of the crackly caramel coating and fluffy popped kernel was delightful to snack on.
Technically I was only looking for kettle or caramel corn, but when I see a bag labeled Chipotle Caramel + Pumpkin Seeds I'm not going to not try it. This flavor has a lingering heat that builds, never becoming "spicy" but not feeling weak, either. The popcorn is covered in a blend of chipotle, cinnamon, ancho, cumin, allspice, and sea salt, but I think that the chipotle flavor really shines though. Chipotle has an earthy, smoky quality that pairs well with the brown sugar coating. The pumpkin seeds add extra crunch.
If you're looking for something to really satisfy your sweet tooth, try the Pumpkin Pecan Praline variety. The popcorn is coated with dark caramel, flavored with pumpkin pie spices, and scattered with pieces of candied pecans. The dark caramel is heady, again showing that depth of flavor that real caramel has. The pumpkin pie spices give it an air of fall, but not so much that I felt strange eating it in January. The candied pecans are crunchy nuggets of sweetness.
The bottom line? I'm pretty stoked to have found something that satisfies my sweet tooth and my desire for something crunchy and snackable. Game on.
479° popcorn is $3.99 per bag and can be purchased at various stores in San Francisco or ordered online

Carlyle as a thinker and his style
Carlyle exerted such a profound influence upon generation by his thought as to be called the Censor of the age. His was a clarion cry to Victorian England to abandon its self-complacency and profit and loss philosophy and to know and hold to the Everlasting Yea. In the age of democracy and individualism he preached the gospel of hero-worship and medieval organization. Belief in human freedom and in the infinite nature of duty, as the basis of religion; belief in the rule if the few wise and strong over the many weak and foolish, as the basis of government; belief in mutual sympathy, as the basis of society; belief in a spiritual interpretation of natural appearances, as the basis of philosophy; and, above all, belief in sincerity as the condition of all knowledgethese are the foundations on which Carlyle built.
By his friends, Carlyle was considered to be a great teacher, more like a great tonicas a source of intellectual and moral stimulus and refreshment , rather than of theoretical and practical guidance. Tyndall says Carlyle was great awakener. Emerson says he is a friend and aider of those who would believe in power and worship.
CARLYLE --- AN ICONOCLAST (A breaker of images/ superstitions)
Carlyle delivered vehement and even savage attacks against some of his most eminent contemporaries, whether they were heads of religious institutes or lover of science like Charles Darwin. Once he called Darwins discoveries as Gorilla damnifications of humanity. His wrath was specially directed at the metaphysicians, scientists and political economists whom he labeled together as logic-chopping machines.
NOT A PESSIMIST: Carlyle philosophy, if carefully considered, will be found to be dangerously optimist rather than pessimist. As a thinker Carlyle is not sad, but recklessly and rather unscrupulously satisfied. For he seems to have held the theory that good can not be defeated definitely in the world; and the every thing in the long run finds its right level. It began with what we may call the Bible of History idea; that all human affairs and politics were a clouded but unbroken revelation of the Devine.
Carlyle religion was that of a mystic, a transcendentalist. He got his faith from the German philosophers Kant and Fichte and from great German writers like Richter, Novalis and Goethe, the influence of last one being the paramount and abiding on Carlyles career and belief. Carlyles spiritual conversion came about in June 1821, when he was having a walk. Carlyle considers Universe to be Divine and Matter having no existence. In his words To me the Universe was all void of life, of purpose, of volition or hostility; it was a huge dead mass.
PERFORMANCE OF DUTY: To Carlyle, the chief aim and end of life is the performance of duty, and only consolation in life is to be sense of doing the duty. He is full of contempt for the pursuit of happiness. His stern creed allows no collateral support to the discharge of duty.
DUTY OF WORK: The first great duty is the duty of workaction, activity. This eminent feature in his preaching has called the Gospel of Labour. Mans greatest enemy is disorder: his most imperative and crying duty is to subdue disorder, convert chaos into order and method. Furthermore, he lays great emphasis on duty of Obedience and duty of Sincerity.
HERO WORSHIP: To the readers of Carlyle, nothing in his writings is so well-known as his doctrine of Hero-worship. We conceive of history of peoples, Carlyle conceived of History as the Biography of Great Men or Heroes who are responsible for what the world has been or will be. Carlyle swept aside the current conceptions of Democracy and Freedom and said; In freedom for itself there is nothing to raise a man above a fly; the value of human life is that of its work done; the prime province of law is to get from its subjects the most of the best work. The first duty of people is to findwhich means to accepttheir chief; their second and last to obey him.
SOCIALISM: He points out three ideas as dominant in Carlyles social political treatises, firstly protest against the doctrine of Laissez Faire, side by side with wrong support of free trade, secondly the advocacy of the Organization of Labour, and thirdly advocacy of Emigration, as a remedy for over-population. We may say that his chief contribution to political thought was the vigour of his demonstration that man lives by spiritual as well as material things, and that civilization is not a piece of mechanism grinding out results of itself, but is dependent on the energy and will and devotion which men put into it.
Carlyle is known for his peculiar style, known as Carlylese. His style is mirror of his mind. No writer is as idiosyncratic as he is. It illustrates not only all is traits but all his moods. It brings out into the starkest relief his defects as well as his qualities. It is terribly indiscreet and lays bare his caprice, his lack of deference, his defiance if discipline, his intoxicated responsibilities.
GERMAN INFLUENCE: There are some writers who believe that German writers and philosophy had deep impact in the moulding Carlyles style. Once Carlyle admitted that his style had its origin in his fathers house in Annandale. Carlyle often stated that style was not a thing a man could put off and on, and that matter was more important than manner. A man should have something to say, and should say it in the manner that comes natural to him. Carlyle was parent of own style.
DEFECTS OF CARLYLES STYLE: The defects in Carlyles style are more apparent than its merits. Its ellipsis, gestures capitals, interjection, iterations, its barbarous, new, erroneous coinages and locution, the constant recurrence of some words in quaint and queer connexion, Germanized compounds, frequency of inversion, fatiguing over-emphasis, occasional jerking and almost spasmodic excitement lie on the surface. Besides, these easily perceptible defects there are two other which are more fundamental. One is the noise of the style, the strident emphasis by the trick of italicizing, and the other is the intense self-consciousness of all his writing, good and bad alike; the self-reference, the self-lashing, the self scrutiny, the self-distrust.
MERITS OF CARLYLES STYLE: He always tried to paint the light shining in the darkness comprehending it not, and therefore it was that he strive so hard to invent a new style which should express not simply the amount of human knowledge, but also so far as possible, the much vaster amount of human ignorance against which that knowledge sparkled in more radiant points breaking the gloom. It seems to me a style invented for the purpose of convincing those whom it charmed, that moral truth can only be discerned by a brilliant imaginative tact and audacity in discriminating the various stars sprinkled in a great vault of mystery, and then walking boldly into the doubtful light they give; that there is much which cannot be believed except by self-deceivers or fools, but that wonder is of the essence of all right mindedness.
(a)Romantic and Oratorical Prose: Carlyles style does not match with the Classical writers of Prose because he does not possess the Classical qualities of clearness, ease and balance. It rather looks to be Romantic Prose since it is addressed to the ear rather than to eye, to the feelings rather than to the understanding.
(b)Love of the concretely picturesque: He speaks in images so beautifully that it creates mental vision in readers mind. With the help of Metaphors and Similes, he makes blur image look clear, and this faculty is in born in him.
(c)Vocabulary: His command of words must be pronounced to be of the highest order. Among the few that stand next to Shakespeare, he occupies very high place in describing characters. He coined new words and compounds plentiful and makes new forms of syntax.
(d)Humour: Bromwell calls Carlyles humor a trifle, flat and artificial, because it is more than willful. but that is an unjust sentence. His humor presents picture of amusement, scorn and sadness. Sometimes he looks a little out of place and his Humour a bit elephantine. But as a rule he master of irony and the ludicrous. He is great in sarcasms, satire and euphemisms.
(e) Wealth of allusions: Carlyles range of allusions is wide, and in one passage he will be giving allusions half a dozen different and widely separated books in literature. He draws upon theology, mathematics, science, philosophy, history, economics etc. for his instances and images.
