Type 2 NF1 Deletions Are Highly Unusual by Virtue of the Absence of Nonallelic Homologous Recombination Hotspots and an Apparent Preference for Female Mitotic Recombination The American Journal of Human Genetics, Volume 81, Issue 6, 1 December 2007, Pages 1201-1220 Katharina Steinmann, David N. Cooper, Lan Kluwe, Nadia A. Chuzhanova, Cornelia Senger, Eduard Serra, Conxi Lazaro, Montserrat Gilaberte, Katharina Wimmer, Viktor-Felix Mautner and Hildegard Kehrer-Sawatzki Abstract Approximately 5% of patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) exhibit gross deletions that encompass the NF1 gene and its flanking regions. The breakpoints of the common 1.4-Mb (type 1) deletions are located within low-copy repeats (NF1-REPs) and cluster within a 3.4-kb hotspot of nonallelic homologous recombination (NAHR). Here, we present the first comprehensive breakpoint analysis of type 2 deletions, which are a second type of recurring NF1 gene deletion. Type 2 deletions span 1.2 Mb and are characterized by breakpoints located within the SUZ12 gene and its pseudogene, which closely flank the NF1-REPs. Breakpoint analysis of 13 independent type 2 deletions did not reveal any obvious hotspots of NAHR. However, an overrepresentation of polypyrimidine/polypurine tracts and triplex-forming sequences was noted in the breakpoint regions that could have facilitated NAHR. Intriguingly, all 13 type 2 deletions identified so far are characterized by somatic mosaicism, which indicates a positional preference for mitotic NAHR within the NF1 gene region. Indeed, whereas interchromosomal meiotic NAHR occurs between the NF1-REPs giving rise to type 1 deletions, NAHR during mitosis appears to occur intrachromosomally between the SUZ12 gene and its pseudogene, thereby generating type 2 deletions. Such a clear distinction between the preferred sites of mitotic versus meiotic NAHR is unprecedented in any other genomic disorder induced by the local genomic architecture. Additionally, 12 of the 13 mosaic type 2 deletions were found in females. The marked female preponderance among mosaic type 2 deletions contrasts with the equal sex distribution noted for type 1 and/or atypical NF1 deletions. Although an influence of chromatin structure was strongly suspected, no sex-specific differences in the methylation pattern exhibited by the SUZ12 gene were apparent that could explain the higher rate of mitotic recombination in females.

Evolution of Human-Specific Neural SRGAP2 Genes by Incomplete Segmental Duplication Cell, Volume 149, Issue 4, 11 May 2012, Pages 912-922 Megan Y. Dennis, Xander Nuttle, Peter H. Sudmant, Francesca Antonacci, Tina A. Graves, Mikhail Nefedov, Jill A. Rosenfeld, Saba Sajjadian, Maika Malig, Holland Kotkiewicz, Cynthia J. Curry, Susan Shafer, Lisa G. Shaffer, Pieter J. de Jong, Richard K. Wilson and Evan E. Eichler Summary Gene duplication is an important source of phenotypic change and adaptive evolution. We leverage a haploid hydatidiform mole to identify highly identical sequences missing from the reference genome, confirming that the cortical development gene Slit-Robo Rho GTPase-activating protein 2 (SRGAP2) duplicated three times exclusively in humans. We show that the promoter and first nine exons of SRGAP2 duplicated from 1q32.1 (SRGAP2A) to 1q21.1 (SRGAP2B) ∼3.4 million years ago (mya). Two larger duplications later copied SRGAP2B to chromosome 1p12 (SRGAP2C) and to proximal 1q21.1 (SRGAP2D) ∼2.4 and ∼1 mya, respectively. Sequence and expression analyses show that SRGAP2C is the most likely duplicate to encode a functional protein and is among the most fixed human-specific duplicate genes. Our data suggest a mechanism where incomplete duplication created a novel gene function—antagonizing parental SRGAP2 function—immediately "at birth" 2–3 mya, which is a time corresponding to the transition from Australopithecus to Homo and the beginning of neocortex expansion.

Identification of a 3.0-kb Major Recombination Hotspot in Patients with Sotos Syndrome Who Carry a Common 1.9-Mb Microdeletion The American Journal of Human Genetics, Volume 76, Issue 1, 1 January 2005, Pages 52-67 Remco Visser, Osamu Shimokawa, Naoki Harada, Akira Kinoshita, Tohru Ohta, Norio Niikawa and Naomichi Matsumoto Abstract Sotos syndrome (SoS) is a congenital dysmorphic disorder characterized by overgrowth in childhood, distinctive craniofacial features, and mental retardation. Haploinsufficiency of the NSD1 gene owing to either intragenic mutations or microdeletions is known to be the major cause of SoS. The common ∼2.2-Mb microdeletion encompasses the whole NSD1 gene and neighboring genes and is flanked by low-copy repeats (LCRs). Here, we report the identification of a 3.0-kb major recombination hotspot within these LCRs, in which we mapped deletion breakpoints in 78.7% (37/47) of patients with SoS who carry the common microdeletion. The deletion size was subsequently refined to 1.9 Mb. Sequencing of breakpoint fragments from all 37 patients revealed junctions between a segment of the proximal LCR (PLCR-B) and the corresponding region of the distal LCR (DLCR-2B). PLCR-B and DLCR-2B are the only directly oriented regions, whereas the remaining regions of the PLCR and DLCR are in inverted orientation. The PLCR, with a size of 394.0 kb, and the DLCR, with a size of of 429.8 kb, showed high overall homology (∼98.5%), with an increased sequence similarity (∼99.4%) within the 3.0-kb breakpoint cluster. Several recombination-associated motifs were identified in the hotspot and/or its vicinity. Interestingly, a 10-fold average increase of a translin motif, as compared with the normal distribution within the LCRs, was recognized. Furthermore, a heterozygous inversion of the interval between the LCRs was detected in all fathers of the children carrying a deletion in the paternally derived chromosome. The functional significance of these findings remains to be elucidated. Segmental duplications of the primate genome play a major role in chromosomal evolution. Evolutionary study showed that the duplication of the SoS LCRs occurred 23.3–47.6 million years ago, before the divergence of Old World monkeys. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (14561 kb) |

A comparison of the human genome with that of the chimpanzee is an attractive approach to attempts to understand the specificity of a certain phenotype's development. The two karyotypes differ by one chromosome fusion, nine pericentric inversions, and various additions of heterochromatin to chromosomal telomeres. Only the fusion, which gave rise to human chromosome 2, has been characterized at the sequence level. During the present study, we investigated the pericentric inversion by which chimpanzee chromosome 19 differs from human chromosome 17. Fluorescence in situ hybridization was used to identify breakpoint-spanning bacterial artificial chromosomes (BACs) and plasmid artificial chromosomes (PACs). By sequencing the junction fragments, we localized breakpoints in intergenic regions rich in repetitive elements. Our findings suggest that repeat-mediated nonhomologous recombination has facilitated inversion formation. No addition or deletion of any sequence element was detected at the breakpoints or in the surrounding sequences. Next to the break, at a distance of 10.2–39.1 kb, the following genes were found: NGFR and NXPH3 (on human chromosome 17q21.3) and GUC2D and ALOX15B (on human chromosome 17p13). The inversion affects neither the genomic structure nor the gene-activity state with regard to replication timing of these genes.

Research Interests
Our laboratory studies individuals who have difficulty detecting, interpreting, and/or using signals from their body and using this information to guide adaptive behavior, particularly in interpersonal contexts. Our primary populations of study are individuals struggling with eating disorders and feeding disorders of childhood: conditions that are sine quo non for dysregulation of basic motivational drives. Several conditions are of particular focus due to the presence of profound deficits in interoception or/and integration of internal arousal: anorexia nervosa, a disorder notable for extreme, determined, rigid, and repetitive behaviors promoting malnourishment and the inability to use signals of interoception and proprioception in the service of goal-directed actions, pediatric binge eating, a model of appetitive dysregulation marked for its early occurrence in the life cycle, and childhood feeding disorders, children who evidence early disturbance in the range of foodstuffs they are willing to sample. Study of children allows us to ask different questions about disorder etiology, maintenance, and course as we can minimize the impact of malnutrition on brain function and perhaps better characterize prior learning history.
Our parallel line of research examines how individuals' sense others when they have difficulties sensing themselves. Increasing evidence suggests that we understand others via embodied enactments of our own experiences. These findings have profound implications for individuals who have dysfunction in the experience of their bodies as it suggests limited capacities to truly understand others' experiences. By studying these processes in parallel, we hope to better understand how this interaction between sensing ourselves and others unfolds.

Passing the Torch
Marcy Axness has been the Editor-in-Chief extraordinaire for APPPAH's newsletter for many years. With the publication of her new book, Parenting for Peace, Marcy's life is taking on a whole new path! We have been so fortunate to have the competent, enthusiastic and talented support of Marcy. We thank you for all the valuable work you have given to APPPAH and our mission. Thank you Marcy and good luck with your new book!
Although we are sad that Marcy is leaving we are incredibly lucky to have discovered a talented and experienced journalist, Peter Prontzos, who has joined APPPAH as the new Editor-in-Chief for the newsletter. We extend a warm welcome to Peter and think you will agree that this edition of the newsletter, Peter's first, is overflowing with news and events! Welcome aboard Peter!
In the words of Peter Prontzos and Marcy Axness
It sure took some of the farewell sting out of my departure when Peter Prontzos stepped up to serve as the newsletter's next Editor in Chief. What a blessing to have such a dedicated, capable successor materialize (seemingly out of nowhere, since I wasn't at the 2010 Congress, when he'd first arrived on the APPPAH scene). He brings new and important perspectives, enthusiasm and rigor to this post, and I hope you'll welcome him with the warmth and support you have shown me these past five years!
I am delighted to be able to help APPPAH by taking over the editing this newsletter, and I am indebted to Marcy Axness both for her past years as editor, and for the valuable help she has provided in my new endeavor. Although I teach political science, my B.A. was in psychology, and for the past few years I have been catching up on some of the exciting developments in this field, including working with Dr. Arthur Janov. I hope to promote APPPAH's goals in a number of ways, especially considering the social and economic determinants of health.For news items and commentary, Peter Prontzos may be reached at email@example.com

RAVENSWOOD, W.Va. -- A group that planned to open a "moonshine distillery" in Ravenswood will now apparently locate it elsewhere in Jackson County, after some local citizens who oppose drinking fought the business.
Appalachian Mountain Distillery plans to open a moonshine distillery in Jackson County. In addition to creating 15 new jobs, the operators hope it will become a tourist attraction as well.
Ravenswood Mayor Michael Ihle had been a big supporter of the project. Members of the city's Planning and Zoning Board recently voted 4-1 to approve it.
Distillery owners originally targeted the now-vacant Cope's Supermarket on Washington Street, a mile north of Ravenswood's City Hall. The supermarket closed in late 2010 after operating for 57 years.
But a small group of people who oppose drinking began gathering petitions against the distillery.
"A few angry people essentially killed the plans," Ihle said last week. "I am embarrassed, ashamed and disgusted. I have been saying what a good place this is to do business."
Ihle said he does not drink. "But I don't think it is a sin. I just choose not to."
Dwayne Freeman, vice president of Appalachian Mountain Distillery, said his company recently decided not to open the distillery in Ravenswood.
"I love Jackson County," Freeman said. "We had people who were against it. We understand that. We are looking into other options, probably in another part of the county. We definitely want to stay in Jackson County.
"But we don't want local people to be upset," he said. "Most people have been so excited about this."
Ronald E. Hensley Jr., of Ravenswood, opposed the distillery and circulated petitions against it in churches and on door-to-door visits, according to a report in the Parkersburg News and Sentinel last week.
Hensley, who did not return telephone calls from the Gazette-Mail, told the Parkersburg newspaper that he had collected 800 signatures against the distillery, which would have been located near his church, the Independent United Brethren Church.

Are any errors being thrown? Do you have error reporting on? Make sure you set Debug::send_errors_to("email@example.com"); in your _config.php.
Do you have DataObjectManager installed? If so, which revision?
Re: Calendar
16 October 2009 at 9:31am
Sorry for being a complete newbie..
Yes - DataObjectManager is installed on the problem site but it
is not installed on my local installation which the calendar works.How can I know the version for the DataObjectManager?
I have a replica of the live site on my localhost now - it still does not work.
Is there a way to see errors without mailing them?
I work on localhost now so I cannot send emails.Thanks!
Re: Calendar
16 October 2009 at 9:47am
Yeah, make sure your environment is in dev mode.
When did you download and install DataObjectManager? I have a feeling that's the culprit. You might have gotten a buggy version.
Re: Calendar
16 October 2009 at 10:04am
The installation has an _ss_environment.php file.
I set it there already.
define('SS_ENVIRONMENT_TYPE', 'dev');The site is already existing and I was not the one who installed the
DataObjectManager module.If indeed, this is the buggy version, how can I uninstall it and update to the latest version?
Thanks for the quick response.
Re: Calendar
17 October 2009 at 8:05am
I upgraded to the latest version of the DataObjectManager (r304)
by deleting the old dataobject_manager folder, add the latest version and ran
/dev/build/?flush=1I can now see the js pop-up entry fields.
However, I cannot enter dates.See screenshots for comparison.
Please advise.
Thanks. -

Still the same.
r305Also, on the stock SS install, I do not have the
DataObjectManager installed, on the problem site,
it is r305.

The Engineering Division was successful in receiving $50,000 in FEMA Hazard Mitigation Grant funding for the replacement of the culvert based on the March 2010 disaster declaration. The design, environmental permitting and FEMA application was completed in November of 2010 and CPW completed the FEMA site walk and contract document preparation for the FEMA 404 Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) award within the summer of 2012. The FEMA contract gives the Town two calendar years to complete the culvert replacement project. CPW
anticipates bidding the project over the winter of 2012/2013 and beginning construction by the July 2013 low flow season.

(Follow Max Glaskin's blog, and find him on Twitter.) By Max Glaskin Email Comments 0 Share Back 7 of 7 Next Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Back Next Digital Vision/Getty Images View Thumbnails Brain and Brawn Winning cyclists must believe in themselvesbut be wary of trusting their own brains. Research shows that the brain lies to the body and prevents it from fulfilling its potential. The brain sends us alerts to slow down or stop in the form of fatigue and pain because it thinks the body might be damaged if you exercise past certain limits. Top cyclists, however, know through practice that they can ignore the warnings and ride through the "pain barrier" to finish faster (although utterly depleted). This means the right psychological preparation for competition can be as important as physical conditioning. Consider one study of cyclists on a hot ride; those who were lied to and told the temperature wasn't really as bad as it was rode faster than those cyclists who hear the true figures. Choosing exactly the right training music for each rider is a growing field for experts. There is a host of research into how athletes can associate emotional states with optimal training so that similarly good performances can be triggered through emotions during competition.

Everton continue to impress under Roberto Martinez after beating Aston Villa, while Norwich City and Cardiff City played out a scoreless draw.
Stoke were in front after just four minutes when David de Gea produced a superb stop to deny Peter Crouch, but Jonny Evans' attempted clearance hit the Stoke striker and bounced over the line.
De Gea kept United in the game with a couple more smart stops before the champions equalised two minutes before half-time when Robin van Persie finished first time after Asmir Begovic had pushed out Wayne Rooney's header.
Yet Stoke were back in front before the interval when more sloppy defending by United gave away a free-kick on the corner of the penalty area and Marko Arnautovic curled his shot in off the underside of the bar.
United had been toiling in search of an equaliser, but drew level again 12 minutes from time when Van Persie played a corner into the near post and Rooney's header looped over Begovic.
Within two minutes, United were in front when Patrice Evra fired over a cross from the left and substitute Javier Hernandez was left unmarked to head home at the far post.
Mikel Arteta opened the scoring and was later sent off as leaders Arsenal ground out a 2-0 victory over managerless Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.
Arsenal made the breakthrough two minutes after half-time when Arteta steered his penalty beyond Julian Speroni following Adlene Guedioura's reckless challenge on substitute Serge Gnabry.
But on 65 minutes Arteta was shown a red card after the midfielder pulled back his former team-mate Marouane Chamakh just inside the Arsenal half, with referee Chris Foy deeming that the Spaniard had denied the Palace striker an obvious goalscoring opportunity.
Palace twice forced excellent saves out of Arsenal keeper Wojciech Szczesny before Arsenal killed the game off three minutes from time when Olivier Giroud headed Aaron Ramsey's pass beyond Speroni.
Liverpool took the lead after 12 minutes when Suarez received possession about 30 yards from goal, ran towards the edge of the area and nudged the ball through Jonas Olsson's legs before firing low into the corner.
Suarez increased the lead just five minutes later with a fine header from the edge of the box which flew into the top corner.
Uruguay international Suarez completed his hat-trick 10 minutes into the second half when he headed Steven Gerrard's free-kick beyond Boaz Myhill.
West Brom pulled a goal back on 66 minutes when James Morrison hammered home a penalty after Billy Jones had been pushed in the box.
But Liverpool scored a fourth on 77 minutes when Daniel Sturridge, who had rattled the crossbar earlier in the half, chipped a delightful shot over Myhill.
Romelu Lukaku showed Aston Villa what they missed out on as he scored the opening goal in Everton's 2-0 victory at Villa Park.Villa were awarded a penalty on seven minutes when Christian Benteke was clipped by Seamus Coleman, but the Belgian striker's spot-kick was brilliantly turned away by Everton keeper Tim Howard.
Everton eventually made Villa pay for that miss on 68 minutes when Lukaku, who was a target for Paul Lambert in 2012, steered his shot from the edge of the area past Brad Guzan.
With nine minutes to go, Everton scored a second when Leon Osman, who had teed up Lukaku for the opener, side-footed home from 20 yards out.
In Saturday's late game, Rickie Lambert and Jay Rodriquez both struck as Southampton produced a dominating display to dispatch a below-par Fulham 2-0 at St Mary's to climb to third in the Premier League.

There's a story going around today about a new hack that appears to allow users to bypass iTunes and steal in-app purchases "for free". I put "for free" in quotation marks because, as Ally pointed out in her editorial on app theft, there's no such thing as free. This time, however, the cost could be something more than money. The way I understand it, the hack in question uses a proxy, requires you to install a bogus certificate, and change DNS settings. That allows the transaction to be intercepted before it reaches iTunes, and that's what lets it cheat developers out of payment. It's also what could let the hacker collect all your information instead.
And that's dangerous.
There's a reason good guy hackers like the iPhone and Chronic dev team urge people not to steal apps -- it hurts everyone. A hack designed expressly to steal in-app purchases, by definition, isn't run by a good guy. The hacker in question is also asking for donations -- for money in exchange for helping you cheat developers out of the money they worked hard for and earned.
As proofs of concept, as a way to discover vulnerabilities that get passed on to Apple so they can be fixed, hacking and hackers can be extremely beneficial to hardening security and making all of our iPhones and iPads safer to use.
This isn't that.
This is stealing, and while it will certainly cost developers money, it could cost you a lot more. Worse than that, it's the perfect way to trick people into giving you access to their devices and credentials. Maybe this particular hacker isn't interested in abusing that, but how do we know? How do we know no one else will use the same hack to steal device and transaction information?
The easiest way to steak anything from anyone is to ask them for it.
No way in hell am I trusting anyone to essentially man-in-the-middle my iTunes connections, and no way in someplace even darker and hotter am I helping them do it.
Cry FUD if you want, but for me, saving $0.99 on Smurfberries isn't worth exposing my data or account.
UPDATE: Matthew Panzarino and Matt Brian of The Next Web have done some digging into how the hack works and how both developers and Apple could better secure the process.
UPDATE 2: Lex Friedman of Macworld has given the hack a similar look.
UPDATE 3: Jim Dalrymple of The Loop got a response from Apple PR, who say they're investigating.
I don't know how wise it is to give so much publicity to such topics. I personally hadn't heard about the existence of this hack and I'm not in the slightest interested in trying it, but others who previously had not heard about it, might "take advantage" of it.
Partially agreed.
However, I am with Rene on this - not trusting the person running this proxy to handle my information. What happens when his server is compromised and the Apple IDs of people who were cheating the system get exposed? I personally have not heard of this before, but I also have absolutely no interest in this.
I am hoping the good that comes from this is people who are looking for ways to cheat and steal get exposed and punished, and Apple hardens their security.
The reason this is news is to help expose this threat to apple and they can maybe come up with the fix. This isn't a how-to guide on how to do it.
Unfortunately there are things like this out there and once they are exposed enough the right people will see it and will find a way to block it or develop a way to fix it.
Maybe we should give some fair warning to people who are contemplating about trying it:
1. You have to enter your iTunes credentials just like a real in-App purchase. Considering you're going through a stranger's proxy, you may be giving up that information into their repository. Whether they use it for their own malicious purposes, or if they turn around and expose it, hackers and Apple alike can see who used it.
2. The in-App purchase itself is faked, so trying to restore a purchase on another linked device or after a reinstall of the app is not going to work.
3. Developers do keep track by means of analytics, so if one day you have 5 Smurfberries and the next day you have 5,000,000 of them, but there's no sales to prove it for that day, well, you're basically caught. What they can do to you at that point is up to them and/or Apple.
4. When you change your DNS, you're routing all your requests to them like a proxy. There's no telling what else you're transmitting to them, like if you happen to launch your Facebook app, or if you've told your iOS device to poll the email server for new messages, or if you've logged into your bank's app, you're basically routing the DNS request to them, where they could be tunneling the request through another server to the respective service, all transparently. But while it's going through their proxy server, they could be logging all that information quietly for their nefarious purposes.
You've been forewarned.
Never heard of this hack until today. Seems like going way out of your way to hack cheap freebie apps. Anyone that's jailbroken knows to just download iAPcracker which does the same thing just locally on your phone. Also most apps that can be hacked are freebie apps that are usually low quality. Most games verify in app purchases with private servers anyways and will block said hacks.... This shouldn't even make the front page of iMore in my opinion. If you take into account the small percentage of people that jailbreak and the even smaller portion that would use the reported hack its not even worth the time reporting it. If they do get hacked and their payment info stolen it serves them right...
That's pretty pathetic to think people want to steal app like that. For crying out loud, most apps are $0.99. Heck, for one of the nicer apps its not much more than a cup of coffee. I'll just never understand people who do this sort of thing.
Uhm...there has been a way to get iAP (In-App Purchases) for free for a long time. There is a tweak in Cydia called iAP. It allows you to essentially do the same thing without fake files or giving up your info. What most don't know is that the the content that makes up the In-App Purchases are downloaded to your iDevice when you download the free OR paid app. It's all part of the original download. iAP basically "unlocks" the already downloaded iAP. In-App Purchases can also be SSHed out of the .ipa file. I guess the fact that he's asking for donations makes this a story.
I'd presume you need to be jailbroken for this hack, which unfortunately taints the JB community as a whole. Its stuff like this that makes Apple weary of the JB community and their intentions, which is really unfair seeing as many just want to unlock the potential tweaks, themes and Apple unapproved apps. Malicious acts such as this is why Apple works so hard to make jailbreaking impossible, and why Jailbreak pioneers such as Pod2G, I0n1c and others have to work so hard just to obtain a safe JB.
As much as Apple wants to control how you use iOS and make sure your experience with their product is how they intended I truly believe they a far less concerned with people climbing out of Steve, Tim, et al's walled garden than people stealing from Apple and the 3rd party developers that help make iOS great. It's hard to refute the idea that the Jailbreak community has pioneered many features added into iOS over the years. Apple might not care for jailbreaking, but the innocous majority does benefit Apple in many ways. It's a shame that stuff like this happens, and causes even more negative publicity for the J B community.
Maybe you should do a bit more research before you post this article?
The hack does NOT require you to enter your App Store credentials, in fact you don't even need to enter anything. On the hacker's website, he posted instructions specifically telling you to log out of your App Store account before applying his DNS hack, so that your transaction information doesn't get sent to him. I'm not defending him or saying that he has no intent of stealing your information, I wouldn't know. But at least I know that without entering your logins during an app purchase or in-app purchase, there wouldn't be any information sent to the hacker, so that's pretty safe.
To be more specific, he stated that you can just enter any random login credentials (just make them up). But it turns out that if you cancel the purchase (thus requiring no need of entering the credentials), the in-app purchases will still work.
Furthermore, you can either cancel your credit card association with your Apple account if you're so worried of it being stolen, OR you can create a new Apple account with no specific information whatsoever, with no credit card tied to it, and just use link that account to your iDevice before you try out the hack.
Anyway, I'm not supporting this hack and I agree that this hurts the developers. But my point is, there really aren't any risks in using this hack like you've mentioned, so this doesn't stop people from using it.
Stuff like this gives Jailbreaking a bad name. I jailbreak for the tweaks like SwipeSelection, SbSettings, and WeekillBackground. I find that using sites like Appshopper help you to get great games when they go on sale for free. I have over hundreds of good apps that I got all for free. You can follow me on Twitter. @D_LA_ROC I post free apps and games daily. I been doing it for about 3 years now. Or you can just use Appshopper. (Which is what I use and then I share them on twitter)
This isn't about small in app purchases. This is about some developers who are fleecing people. When I see a pot of gold or in-game credit and the cost is 69.99. Such as Real Racing Three, then I want to steal from these people. Charge me 10 pound for Real Racing Three, and I will happily pay it. And even more. But use all sorts of ways to drip feed money from me, such as lengthy enforced services and repair times or car delivery times, then you will get what you deserve. IAP is literally ruining some games and is just an example of greed. I am happy to rip them off myself, and continue to pay to support the non-greedy developers.

FInished basement area too cold
I want to restrict the air flow to the finished room in the basement.
I think that I need to install a "flapper" (air vent turnoff plate) in the HVAC ductwork that feeds this room basement. The current pipe/vent is dedicated to this room only, comes directly from the air handler and is the shortest run in the house. I have full access to the piece that I want to install the "flapper". It is 45 inches long. I bought , the "flapper", two reducers (to fit my existing ductwok and the flapper duct) , and a small 8 inch long piece of formed pipe/ductwork that is the same dimension, (approximately it seems that it is 1/4 or 1/2 inch smaller diameter) size as the "flapper". I think have to use this technique because the existing air vent is very permanent, the basement is cinder block walls and drop ceiling, like thoise installed in offices in the 80s. The vent plate was trimmed to fit a narrower opening in the cinder block wall and removed the lever to open and close the vent. The result is that the basement is freezing air rushes into the room at near gale force; large amounts of the air is blowing into the area above the drop ceiling and between the floor above it. This all robs the volume of air that gets to the other parts of the house. my questions are: - how do properly measure, adding all of these parts. I thought put the parts together "on the ground". Then the finished length of all parts should be as long as the cuyrrent section - how do I cut the existing duct section, it is already formed into a pipe. do i cut down the length of the pipe first and then once butterflyed cut across the width? - also, how do I properly drill two holes in the duct connector that are exactly centered over/under each other so that the flapper won't bind when turning it to restrict airflow? Plus anything I am not asking about this project that would ease my pain or if this is there a better way to do this, most cost and time effecient solution? thanks |

look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 5 | overall: 4.5
Chilled 75cl bottle. Corked and caged with a layer of black wax poured over both. This has one of those labels that lets you know you have a product that the maker has put every ounce of effort into. The label reads like a dosier and this is bottle #132. This bottle is consumed in a sniffer.
Body is deep and dark. Just shy of being opaque with a slither of glowing cola hue coming through when held to a light source. It pours like something that has absolutely no carbonation and it produces a head to match.... well at least for first impressions.
Once the sniffer glass is put down to rest and as I think about trying a long pour to produce at least some head tan effervescent bubbles begin to flow forth from the bottom of the glass and culminate at the surface where an equally tan head begins to gradually develop.
The aroma deviates from Russian Stout somewhat, the appearance and behavior are practically textbook Russian Stout but the tactile elements come across as a mix of dark strong belgian or quad. Sticky sweet malts dominate and juicy chewy dark fruits balance out the coffee and caramel molasses sweetness.
Malt again dominates when it comes to tasting. Definitely sweet and sticky. One thing I pick up here that I didn't aromatically are the hops that balance nicely. Of course those dark juicy fruits are present but all in all, this is a heavily malt driven taste.
In the mouth, This. Is. Smooth! Velvet smoothness and perfectly weighted. Carbonation is light as one might expect but the body of this thing is grand. The alcohol is noticeable and at 11% you would be silly to expect otherwise, however it i not aggressive and it sits in very nicely.
Very good and only slightly off the mark in the taste and aroma due to the slight identity crisis but the mouthfeel and wight is amazing and definitely something to write home about.

2.99/5 rDev -23.5%
look: 3.25 | smell: 2.75 | taste: 3 | feel: 3.25 | overall: 3
Consumed January 27th 2014 from an 11.2 oz capped bottle labeled "13 /09/12". Beer label is Cease & Desist, not Disputin. Poured into a Klokke Roeland goblet.
The beer is much lighter than expected for a Russian Imperial Stout: more deep brown than the standard black. A 3 finger tan head sits atop the beer at first pour, but soon settles down to a mere thin skin of foam. No sheeting that sticks longer than a few moments.
Aroma is strange for an RIS, too; instead of the usual aromas, this has a bit of a metallic scent complemented by a sweet malt note. No sign of the usual coffee or chocolate.
Flavor has an unfortunate sour, metallic note. Some darkly roasted malt is apparent in the flavor; probably the chocolate malt. Somewhat acidic. Finish is slightly warming and moderately bitter. Did they use champagne yeast to ferment this?
A little bit thick (emphasis on little) and certainly warming in the mouth.
I have home brewed an Imperial Stout that was as good as this one and that is not bragging. Maybe the 16 month age was more than this brew could stand?

Note: I don't think this beer is called Disputin any more. My bottle said Cease & Desist.

Poured into a Reuben's Brew snifter. Pours pitch black with little signs of carbonation in the pour, but resulting in a thin light brown film and ring around the glass that leaves light lacing. Light aroma of sweet toasted malt, vanilla and chocolate. Flavor is heavy toasted malt, molasses, dark dried fruit, a hint of coffee. Finishes with charred malt and bittering hops, slightly astringent. Medium bodied with a mild creaminess, faint carbonation. A dark flavored stout, leaning towards blackstrap molasses and charred, toasted malt. The flavors are dense, but not that complex or balanced. The finish is a bit stark. This is an interesting and rich stout, but left me wishing for a bit more balance. Worth a try, but not remarkable. The char and bitterness in the finish was a bit offputting at first, but grew on me as I drank the glass.

look: 2.5 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3 | overall: 3.25
*Brewed 9-13-12*
Pours a peculiar murky brown color, like copious amounts of dirt in suspension, with burnt orange highlights. There is no head to speak of. I would not have pegged this for a stout based on its appearance. The aroma, sniffed directly from the bottle before pouring, is amazing--blackberry, cherry, currants, molasses, and pie crust come to mind.
The taste features the same tart, dark fruits described above, with cherry being the primary contributor. The sour aspect leans toward apple cider vinegar as it warms. A caramel-like sweetness contrasts with the tartness of the cherry. Alcohol is well concealed, with only a tasteful amount of warming coming through in the finish. The mouthfeel is peculiar as well, with a heterogeneous texture akin to miso broth. It's difficult to describe, but it's almost as if the beer is more substantive upon first imbibing, and then "melts" in your mouth (if such a thing can be said of a liquid).
Overall, this is one of the most unusual beers I've ever tried. It looks and tastes NOTHING like an imperial stout. If someone told me they slapped the wrong label on it, I wouldn't be surprised in the least. Unusual mouthfeel aside, it comes off as something in between a sour ale and a quad--a real headscratcher.

2.69/5 rDev -31.2%
look: 3.5 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 2.25 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 2
a: this beer pours a very deep red/brown with very notable red highlights. no head, just a ring of light bubbles around the top of the glass.
s: sweet and raisiny; stings the back of the nostrils with alcohol; prunes; very mild sweet chocolate; maybe a little bit of vanilla; actually quite nice and strong sweet blend of dark fruits, chocolate, and booze;
t: very tangy/sharp/sour and maybe a little fungal? i get some raisiny sweetness but almost no coffee or chocolate flavors/may be an off bottle?
m: tight refined bubbles, which i am enjoying and keeps it from bing too cloying for the style; pretty light body for the style, which i am kind of digging -
d: this is a really disappointing beer to me - taste is strange and not at all balanced. i actually ended up pouring the last half down the drain, which i almost never do b/c i am a cheap bastard.

I just recently has sod laid, not by myself or a profesional (long story, not by my choice), and I feel like the job was sloppy. Pics: http://imgur.com/a/B7F1g My question is, there are a lot of gaps between sode pieces, missing chuncks, and an area on the side that's half done. Will the missing area and gaps fill in? The yard looks kind of yellow too and it was only laid 4 days ago. What of the area on the side that's half done? Sorry if this is brief, I'm on a mobile device, I can answer any questions if they come up. | |||
Your photos show a skimpy job. More sod looks to be certainly needed, or else you will need to seed the areas where it is lacking. Any chance of this being done by the person whom laid it? First immediate question, are you keeping it watered? It needs to be kept moist to take root, just as if you planted grass seed. After initial watering, light watering several times a day, just enough to keep it moist at the root level. If you need to seed areas, it would be a good time to do so, since they both need water. | ||||
It is being watered for about 20 minutes twice a day. No, person who laid it will not be going back out, Im on my own to fix it. | ||||
I agree, it's a very poor job. the sod is supposed to be laid so the seams hardly show at all. I think it needs more water than 20 minutes twice a day. I think you'll need more sod for the bare places, & seed where there are small gaps. it'll be a job...good luck. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ "I've decided to quit my job, drop out of society, and wear live animals as hats." | ||||
What was done about soil preparation? Is this sod making good soil contact? What are your temperatures now? Maybe 20 minutes twice a day is not enough water. A good illustration of why you should only hire people that really know what they are doing. The sign of a good gardener is not a green thumb, it is brown knees. | ||||
Unfortunately this is a co-owned home, and the work was done by my ex-wife and her family (not my choice, I've seen their work and didnt want them anywhere near it. Because of that and the fact that I didnt even know they were out there doing it until it was done, I don't know much aboit how much of thw prep w as done right... I can tell that they broke up the soil some, clearly didnt do any levelling. Basically thats my main issue, if the sod itself looks this sloppy, I have trouble believing they did the rest right. | ||||
The soil that can be seen around the edges and through the holes appear very compact and solid which may mean the sod was just laid on top rather than having the soil turned over and raked out properly and fertilized. You certainly need to water more than you have been if you have any chance to keep the sod alive. | ||||
Twenty minutes....doesn't say anything about how it was administered. New sod isn't supposed to be "watered"...its supposed to be wetted...sprinkled on so that the amount applied doesn't slip side the sod away. This should be applied carefully with a nozzled hose and depdning on the weather, on the amount needed to accomplish the sprinkling. If that takes 20 minutes...so be it....if it takes half the time, or twice the time, that's what's called for. A light sprinkling twice a day seems sufficient....again, dependent on the amount of water administered by a means to accomplish the task. Grass will fill in over time---if major areas look short, then gather pieces of sod and finish the job. The final look is dependent on the preparation that was done beforehand. You might ask whoever laid the sod to inform you what preparation was done. Its not tacky to ask --you are paying for the final result. Some grasses fill in better than others...you didn't specify what type of sod was laid. Don't fertilize until after it has rooted--after all, that's where the goodness of food is taken up...by the roots. If the sod is brown at this time...the question arises how long it sat on the pallet before you got to it. Sod really should be laid within two days of delivery....any longer, with warm temperatures bearing down on it, some lower pieces might well dry out. Given sufficient, but not too much moisture...rain notwithstanding, sod will take fairly well within a week. | ||||

Drastic changes in central bank operations and monetary institutions
in recent years have made previously standard approaches to explaining the determination of the price level obsolete. Recent
expansions of central bank balance sheets and of the levels of rich-country sovereign debt, as well as the evolving political economy of the European Monetary Union, have made it clear that fiscal policy
and monetary policy are intertwined. Our thinking and teaching
about inflation, monetary policy, and fiscal policy should be based on
models that recognize fiscal-monetary policy interactions. (JEL E31,

Trail of Painted Ponies
August 2006
Approximately 8" by 10"
Artist: Tom Tapia (Tesuque)
"Tewa Pony," by Pueblo artist Tom Tapia, celebrates the geometric and animal designs that have adorned Cochiti pottery for centuries.
Known for his pottery, painting, and day job as a tribal policeman, this Tewa native has adorned his pony with traditional designs. The sash represents good faith and fortune, the blanket honors the horse as a bold and strong being, the eagle represents good luck, and the handprint stands for the loving touch of all creation.

Toshiba Portege R600 review
For a business-orientated laptop, the super-light 12.1-inch Portege R600 is remarkably attractive, and its performance isn't bad either.

Developing electric vehicle charging stations (and where you can find them now)
One group in west Michigan wants to encourage more people to buy electric cars by building more charging stations.
From the Grand Rapids Press:
The West Michigan Strategic Alliance is proposing the development of at least 4,000 charging stations across eight counties. Alliance President Greg Northrup is seeking approval from county boards in Kent, Ottawa and Muskegon for the project, which would be financed through the sale of bonds and be repaid over a 10-year period.
"We've got $3 billion invested in battery projects in West Michigan," Northrup said. "Why shouldn't we have the infrastructure to go with it?"
So those are 4,000 proposed electric charging stations.
How can you find charging stations that are online now?
Google and the U.S. Department of Energy to the rescue. You can enter your address on the DOE's website to find alternative fueling stations near you.
Fast Company says "eventually, this Google/DOE partnership will serve as the primary EV charging station data source for GPS and mapping systems (like the one that may be in your car already)."

Yes, when we've won this year we haven't looked the most impressive, but we won. No spin we should be playing better. I'll admit in all 3 home games that we won close, I, at some point in the 4th qrtr, was preparing myself for a loss and had mentally given up, but the players and coaches didn't. They fought hard to overcome adversity, and they won those games. That shows great mental toughness for a bunch of 18-22 year olds. We haven't looked like world beaters, I admit, but I am not ready to give up on the season. I think most people thought we would be 3-2 at this point in the season with the Iowa game being a toss up and a young defense struggling to find an identity. We have gotten exactly what we expected. (outside of the the margin of victories.) I think preseason everyone was looking ahead to winning the North, and Saturday is where that begins. It's a new season. I'm not giving up. I'm going to swallow my pride and take those 3 close wins and cheer my arse off until the final gun no matter what happens. I'm sure every cyclone fan has said the following words: "O we will fight, fight, fight for Iowa State, And may her colors ever fly. Yes, we will fight with might for Iowa State, With a will to do or die, Rah! Rah! Rah! Loyal sons for ever true, And we will fight the battle through. And when we hit that line we'll hit it hard ev'ry yard for I. S. U." Do those words mean anything? Where in there does it say, "we will quit when it's not going our way." or "Give up on football when they aren't winning by enough points."? Come on cyclone fans uncross your arms and start cheering. We are going to beat Nebraska this weekend. Then we're going to Oklahoma. Then Texas Tech, and Kansas St, Kansas, Colorado and Missouri. And then we are going take back the Big XII Championship. Arrrrrgggghhhhh! (a la Howard Dean) Every true cyclone fan show up at the game saturday in gold, and all the fairweather fans stay home and watch it on tv. Let's go cyclone fans the season is far from over everyone throw your full support behind the clones.

However, it does not sound like it is "cloaking with intent to deceive" either search engine spiders or visitors. Generally, when search engines talk about cloaking penalties, these penalties apply to "cloaking with intent to deceive". It would make no sense to punish a site (punish its URLs, really) just because the content changes based on the User-agent or requesting IP address. Imagine for example if Google punished sites for serving different content to mobile devices, gaming devices, netbooks, tablets, notebooks, and PCs/Macs. Or if they punished sites for using IP- or User-agent based delivery to serve different-language content to different areas of the world. They would punish most of the major sites on the Web, including themselves! I doubt that a few extra lines of text are causing you trouble, unless it contains a bunch of gibberish or excessively-repeated keywords. You can bet that the search engines are aware of your alternate content (unless you subscribe to a "real-time robot IP address identifier service" for cloakers to prevent that), but I doubt that this is the cause of your trouble; I use an approach similar to yours on a couple of pages to help visitors find what they are actually looking for (as opposed to what they initially searched for), and it doesn't seem to affect those pages' ranking. Jim
It could be called cloaking -- or more accurately, IP- or user-agent-based content delivery.

Virginia General A$$embly: Is it owned by Va. businesses?
July 24, 2011 - 12:14 pm
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - The cost of keeping Virginia legislators in office is paid almost entirely by business interests in Virginia. And those interests say it's just a cost of doing business.
An analysis of itemized campaign contribution reports filed last week shows that 99.61 percent of the campaign donations to incumbent state legislators since January 2010 came from businesses or lobbyists and lobbying firms who represent them.
The analysis, done by the nonprofit and nonpartisan Virginia Public Access Project, showed that candidates challenging incumbents got only 4 one-hundredths of a percent of their contributions from business givers.
Candidates seeking open seats got three-tenths of a percent from the same sector.

The Hobbit Lego Game Cometh – Lord Business Indeed!
You've got to admit, Lego has a great feedback loop going. If you're like me you were given Lego for your birthday or Christmas sometime in the 80s. This Lego was played with, masticated (by pets, and wrenching teeth), stored in some closet, and passed down to kids or grandchildren. The child born in the 2000s gets a great deal - free Lego - but parents aren't off the hook because he'll soon beg for new Star Wars Lego. Then he'll go to his friend's house and play Lego: Indian Jones on any number of consoles, comes back with a rumour of the Lego movie. The kid then begs to go to the Lego Movie, you take him, and he comes home singing "Everything is Awesome" without a hint of irony. He then wallows around the house upset that he purchased the ____ Star Wars kit with his money at Christmas when he could have bought Lord Business. Should have bought what I told you to, kidlet.
