Antony and the Johnsons, 'The Crying Light' (Secretly Canadian)
- SPIN Rating:7 of 10
Sexual confusion, sibling rivalry, fear of death: On 2005's gut-twisting I Am aBird Now, Antony Hegarty sang about earthly anxieties in a deep croon that could have come from some androgynous, mournful extraterrestrial. Hegarty's voice is famously his own; stylistically, he's akin to Björk, but with a timbre closer to a saxophone. His best work, including contributions to Hercules and Love Affair's glassy-eyed disco debut last year, thrives on the shock of recognizing the human frailty in Hegarty's velvety, otherworldly bay.
Antony and the Johnsons' third full-length wisely focuses on the frontman's enormous talent, with Nico Muhly's classical arrangements plinking and waltzing but never overpowering. Hegarty's command has never been greater: The album's opening note, quivering and clinging like a spider in a wind-buffeted web, could send an unprepared listener to the brink of tears.
Still, The Crying Light may be the singer's most alien-seeming work yet. His motives feel distant, with each song sketching surreal scenes of flowers and snow, flecked with references to sad eyes and ill-defined desires. Hegarty appears to be exploring the ways that nature leaves every living thing perfect but incomplete -- from the sun-seeking plant to the helpless baby to the convulsing epileptic. It's a fitting, if oblique, message from a man who voices his species' joys and sorrows in sounds only he can produce.

Super cute coat but wouldn't zip up past the chest even in a large! I have a full set of girls but they aren't abnormally big, so I was surprised it wouldn't fit. If your slim all around it will look very cute!

So my aunt is getting a new table and doesn't want her old one anymore. At this point i can't be too picky because we need other stuff.
I wanted to tone down the white a little. should i use placemats? a runner? Thought the runner would look odd on a round table. Figured if i did something like that and added a nice little centerpiece it will work for now. Thanks in advance for your suggestions! |

Wow, that's a set? Those tiles look so out of place on that table with such nice chairs. What an unfortunate table top for an otherwise nice set. Lucky you that your aunt is giving it to you, it definitely has potential. Can you remove the tiles or can you afford to have a marble top made to sit over the tiles? Can you paint the tiles another color - there are paints made for ceramic tile. I don't think a runner looks odd on a round table and would definitely help. Where is this table going to reside, if it's in a dining room, I'd prefer a table runner, if in the kitchen the placemats work well. BTW, you didn't ask, but it's very easy to recover the seats, just unscrew from the bottom, staple new fabric into place and rescrew for a fresh look. Sky |

The top looks like it was an after thought, maybe the original top was damaged? If you could remove the tiles, you could glue a new vaneer or laminate on it? Even a pretty table cloth would work. It's a beautiful set otherwise. Lucky you!! Robi |

sky-i was going to ask about painting the tile. ... what color would you do it? I'll have to do a little research. |

Would a piece of tempered glass work? With something under it...like fabric? Or get it frosted so you couldn't see through it? |
- Posted by skypathway (My Page) on Thu, Jan 17, 08 at 11:55
Sheesharee, first when you try to post too soon after another post the software thinks you're posting the same message double - so you have to change the subject of posting like you did. I was thinking if it was painted in a similar color to the wood that maybe it might blend in better with the rest of the set. I also like Bungalow's idea of tempered glass - if you didn't want to put fabric under it, you might be able to mask tiles with a frosted glass if you like that blue green color of frosted glass. Sky |
I would get a piece of fabric cut to cover just the tile area, then top with a piece of glass. You could change out the fabric for the seasons or holidays. Or, think about getting contact paper in some interesting pattern (I think they come in things like a stone look or marble) put that over the tiles, then the glass. Something like this, comes in a variety of patterns. The glass piece won't be expensive. |
I must be missing something... why not just use a tablecloth? Round ones are easy to find, and if this is your everyday meal table, you could get wipeable ones. You could get one for every day of the week for less than the cost of getting a glass top, or repainting or retiling or something like that. |
- Posted by sheesharee (My Page) on Thu, Jan 17, 08 at 13:39
amanda t - no, the tablecloth was the first thing to come to mind. I've never really seen any i like, except for lace and that's not going to work. I'll have to keep an eye out! fabric or contact paper - could you even get a piece wide enough to cover the table? i probably should've measured that while i was there. (since the start of the house the tape measure stays in my purse) i'll have to see how it looks in the room before I go bustin out tiles :) maybe it won't look bad after all! i'll try the cheapest methods first. |
- Posted by leahwalker (My Page) on Thu, Jan 17, 08 at 14:25
What about lace tablecloth with a solid coordinating (to the rest of your room) color under it? I have seen tile successfully covered with concrete, but that set definitely doesn't scream "concrete" to me. :) As for fabrics, I don't know the diameter of the table, but it's nothing to find 60" decorator fabrics. Perhaps remnant granite or marble would be more affordable on your budget? You can also get formica/laminate in flat sheets that aren't yet formed over the underlaying board, and laminate is cheap. Perhaps a thin underlay with a laminate of your choice on top, or if there's any lip on the top of the wood surround you get just put the laminate directly onto the tile (maybe not the best solution if you plan to have the furniture for a long time). Just some thoughts. :) |
Or, can you use a lazy susan with some nice flowers etc to take focus off of the tiles? |

Did you happen to see Candice Olsen on Divine Design last night? She redid or made (I wasn't clear on that) a round table very similar to what you have. She did the top using piece of tongue and groove flooring. It was beautiful (at least on the TV is was)! They didn't show how she put the treatment around the edge, but it was a very pretty table and would be inexpensive, too. I don't see the episode listed on the HGTV site, but it was a new episode last night. Robbi |

I answered the counseling hot line today and a woman in a soft sweet voice asked me if there is something wrong with her because her husband does not want to have sex with her anymore?
She wanted to know what to do about it, as she broke out in tears on the phone. She stated that she had just been married a little over a year ago and ever since they got married it seemed as though the sex had gone form twice a week to maybe once a month. She said that she wanted to have children but it seemed as though she would never get pregnant, and now she was not even sure that she wanted to have children with him.
I explained to her that indeed this was not a good situation and it would be best if we could have a couple's session and find out what was going on in the marriage. I explained that it is not only the sexual part that is missing from the marriage but the intimacy that is exchanged while making love. She agreed, and said that over the past six months, it had really taken a toll on her self-esteem making her feel as though something may be wrong with her, as to why he would no longer be attracted to her.
I asked if at one time they did have a good sex life and she said yes before marriage the sex was good but after marriage it seemed to slow way down, and his excuses continued to become more and more ridiculous. At one point she stated that she got dressed up for him and planned to seduce him when he got into bed, she tried everything possible to entice him. He simply gave her a kiss and said that he was exhausted and rolled over and went to sleep leaving her feeling ashamed, and crying herself to sleep in tears.
We set up an appointment for the two of them to meet in my office. Unfortunately she was not able to get him to come, but she did come herself to figure out what to do about the situation. We worked together for a few sessions and I gave her information and some direct questions as to challenge her husband with. After approaching him and not letting it go, her husband decided to join us in the sessions.
As we continued to talk and I got him to open up, he admitted that he had been masturbating to porn and that; it was something that he had done before the marriage. The type of porn he was masturbating to was completely shocking to his wife. The fact remained that they did care about each other but how could they possibly get past his issues with the porn and her utter disgust for the type of porn he was into.
The biggest problem was that he had a sexual pattern involving porn use before meeting his wife, and he most likely was not going to stop liking it, could they somehow integrate it into their sex life and he manage it, "possibly", was she willing to accept his sexual proclivities and act them out with him, the answer was "no".

Asics GT-Cool "Olive Camo" by staff 0 Comments
May 30, 2013 BY Brendan Dunne / 1
How long will it be before the Asics GT-Cool gets the collab touch? We wouldn't be too surprised if the model was being handed currently to curators over at the Asics HQ to help give them a bit of an extra push ahead of their coming retail return. Not they particularly need it though, as Asics' stock overall is one the rise and we're sure people are eager to get their hands on some stuff their will diversify their rotation beyond GLIII's and the like. See more of this new blue/orange/navy mixture on the Asics GT-Cool after the jump and check back in with us for more Asics previews soon.

Destination: Pamplona
Every year, in the city of Pamplona in northern Spain, there's a massacre. Bewildered animals are forced to run at breakneck speed through the streets, towards an arena where they will be stabbed to death by a group of armed men. The Running of the Bulls at the San Fermin festival is a truly barbaric performance and one that has no place in any civilised country.
But something else happens every year, something that's genuinely inspiring – people from Spain and all over the world come together to protest, peacefully and … Read more.

Brain Synapse
These boots are the pimp.
I decided to hit up a local shop for sizing in Salomons and was super impressed for a few reasons.
If you have an arch, I found these boots to be very comfy. I don't have a super high arch, rather a medium and I was finding it hard to put other boot brands on, and then I could feel the top of my foot making contact with the boot. Serious no no for any extended boarding. I tried these bad asses on and had a much easier time fitting the boot, plus it wasn't uncomfortable at the top like the others. Nice heel sponge traps as well to keep the back of your foot planted for all the response you are looking for.
The lacing system is quite nice to work with and doesn't call for full tie downs to tighten up. Inside liner lace and boot quick catch system make for easy adjustment on the fly. Tug, catch and go. These laces look thinner, but are hella durable. Plus with a 1 yr warranty, if they blow out in your first season, you are covered.
These boots also have reinforced sides which is especially awesome for your trailing foot. That edge will eat some boots alive while riding the lift. An improvement from last years design for sure. Also adding some extra stiffness, these boots have gone up 1 point since previous models.
Overall, a kickass boot, for a kickass boarder. Don't discount this boot. Check your synapse....
Hey Jesse - If my local shops dont have it, any suggestions on sizing? Are they running true to fit? Thanks!

'Compulsion' by Alex Prager is the photographer's latest collection of pictures currently on display at the Michael Hoppen Gallery. The installation features captures of stylistically surreal tragic events and close-up images of eyes. The juxtaposition between victim and onlooker creates a compelling narrative wherein the context, occupants and events remain ambiguous.
Looking at the eye pictures, it isn't clear rather they belong to the victim or a bystander; however, it does nonetheless reflect the privileged position of the audience. Tragedy has become such a commonality in the 21st century that individuals aren't as impacted by disasters as long they are not directly affected by it.
Vocalizing how one is impacted by an event can often be an elaborated response in order to appear as an empathetic individual.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Senate Overview: A Battle to Break Through
By Kyle Trygstad
The 2012 Senate battleground is pretty much set one year before voters go
to the polls, but the parties' spending strategies are evolving in
uncharted territory. Full Story
House Overview: What's In Play?
By Stuart Rothenberg
Aside from House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi's (Calif.) prediction to
ABC News back in early June that her party had "a very good chance of
winning the House," national Democrats have been cautious about
predicting a takeover next November. Full Story
Top 10 Vulnerable: Illinois, North Carolina Top List
By Lauren W. Whittington
Every 10 years the pool of Members eligible for this list becomes larger
thanks to redistricting. This cycle, more Members than normal are in
jeopardy because of a nonpartisan redistricting effort in California that
has created more competition than the state has seen in two decades. Full
Top 5 Ugliest Districts: Partisan Gerrymandering 101
By Shira Toeplitz
No one said redistricting was a pretty process, but in some cases
Congressional mapmaking gets downright ugly. It's not a coincidence that
a couple of the most awkwardly shaped districts have a minority
population of at least 50 percent. Mapmakers often get creative to adhere
to the Voting Rights Act. Full Story
2012 Battleground: Presidential Coattails
By Christina Bellantoni
It's not just Senate Democrats playing defense across the 2012 map -
President Barack Obama's team will spend millions on a wide playing field
of states the Democrat won in 2008. Full Story
Rep. Johnson's Expensive Phone Bill
By Daniel Newhauser
Rep. Timothy Johnson wants voters in Illinois' new 13th district to know
that he walks the walk and talks the talk - and that should not be
difficult. If there are two things the Republican is known for, they are
walking and talking. Full Story
N.D. Senate Race Moves to Likely Republican With Heitkamp's Entry
By Shira Toeplitz
Senate Democrats were elated when former North Dakota Attorney General
Heidi Heitkamp jumped into the state's open Senate race last week. But
North Dakota remains conservative territory, and this won't be an even
fight for Democrats, especially in a presidential election year. Full

Currently, we are doing driveway/landscape design. After looking at everything staked out, the door seems very far for guests. Was thinking of possible U shaped driveway to bring closer to front entry but the city might not allow u shaped driveways. I will have to check, but the builder mentioned every entrance gets an address # so a single residential lot can't have two enterances. So I might have to form the U on the driveway which is pictured instead of the road which I would like. The house setback is 90' from the road. The house is approximately 100' in length. The front lot length is ~225'. The garage which is on the right is a 4 car side load garage and is 26' in width. Any suggestions? Should I leave it like it is? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Where you you expect guests to park? I don't understand why the town would have a problem with a U shaped driveway. What the builder is saying about two entrances meaning two addresses does not make sense, addresses are usually based on lots. Now if you have an HOA, they may have a problem with a U shaped driveway. |
We have a very similar layout on our current home, somewhat winding walkway to front door about same distance from side entry garage. Our driveway is very long (over 1000' feet, really a lane more than driveway). A few comments after living here 10 years: 1) everybody we know comes through garage. nobody walks to front door. If the front doorbell rings (different tone) we know it's a salesman or pizza or a complete stranger I definitely would NOT do a "U" with a dead-end in front of your house. that would look terrible (IMHO). OTOH if you really don't want people coming in garage entry, then you probably need to do something different, human behavior being what it is.... I wish we had the room / planned for a circle - cars could turn around and go back out. Again we have a very long lane. best of luck. |
That is very similar to what we had in our old house, and we were always shuffling cars during parties. Long driveways that bottleneck anywhere along their run come with their issues. Mine took me two days to pressure wash completely... but, you really need to get into your driveway. We did a half circle parking pad area because our lot did not allow for a full circle... your lot is big enough to do something like that at the fork of your sidewalk and drive decreasing to the sidewalk naturally. It would at least encourage single visitors to park in front and come to the front door because they feel they are not blocking the outlet. |

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"Not only did I receive my invites sooner than anticipated but they also arrived just as I had expected them! The quality and print is perfect. This will definitely set the tone for our big day!"
"We went with navy blue for the invitations, and got rid of the initials at the top. The designers were really helpful in making design edits. This design is simple, yet elegant, We were really pleased with the quality, and can't wait to send them to our guests!"
"I ordered these invitations for my wedding and I could not be happier. We chose the amethyst invitations with shimmer paper and had the 'perfect poinsettia' design printed on the back of the cards as well. They turned out so wonderfully. Even my mother-in-law to be liked them. We also chose the gold envelopes and they look very elegant paired with the amethyst. Any concerns I had ordering online were not necessary. The order even arrived (internationally) in only 3 days! I definitely recommend this design."
"Just leaving the fonts and everything where it was and just switching the names and etc.. I showed it to my bridesmaids who a few are getting married in the next year or so and the fell in love with it. The paper is strong and still very elegant. I couldn't imagine being happy with any other one."
"I absolutely love my invitations. The pearl shimmer paper is really worth the extra (minor) cost as it enhances the overall classy look. I changed the color of the flowers on the front and the color on the back to the majestic purple and it looks gorgeous. Also changed the wording on the back to a scripture verse. Also ordered the silver envelopes (a minor increase in cost) and they look amazing with the purple. Customer service was so easy to work with! This is my second order with wedding paper divas (also got my save the date photo cards here) and I would definitely use them again!"

Best flex fit hat I have ever owned. All the coaches and friends of mine compliment on it.
M. REESE (Indiana) on June 3, 2013
nice hat quality just what my customer was looking for!! thanks EPIC SPORTS . will be happy to use again and again.
C. SADLER (Massachusetts) on June 7, 2012
I am very satisfied so far with the Augusta Sport Flex Mesh cap. After trying a couple of Nike mesh caps and discovering they were too floppy for use on the field, this one has much better rigidity. It is light and cooler to wear than other caps, and I was pleasantly surprised to find it did not pucker when I got it embroidered. I am unsure of the durability because I have only had it for a couple of weeks, but so far -- no complaints. It seems well constructed enough to last.

This is not intended to a Glock bashing, I am just telling my story, to begin with this is my third Glock, I will have to say the first two were reliable, the trigger is IMO not so good, the grip on the the Gen 3 was to much like a brick, the Gen4 grip is more to my liking.
The G19 Gen4 has been a jam-o-matic with 115 FMJ, which is what is available for range ammo in my area. I have not shot many self-defense loads so I am not sure about the reliability with those.
I know about the #4 spring and have made two phone calls to Glock each time with promise to ship one, so far after 7 weeks no spring. Conclusion Glock's customer service is bad.
As I have done more research on the #4 spring it does not fix the 115FMJ jamming problem, so I can get from Lone Wolf a conversion kit for around $35 to make the Gen4 set up a Gen3. Sounds like a good idea, but I have lost confidence in the Glock as a pistol and a company. I don't want to invest more money into a fix and more money in ammo to test the fix.
Anyone that has converted the the spring to old style have any feedback please.

Product Description: A crème that evaporates to a dry finish leaving a long-lasting semi-matte colour. Water-resistant and crease proof, Basic Colour slips on like a second skin leaving a rich satin wash of colour on the eye lid.
On Me: I bought this product in pale pink. It works as a wash all over lid & you see a hint of pink, kinda slightly warmths up my eye. You only need a tiny, tiny amount & i dab a little on the lids & use my finger to blend. While i find that it blends easily, i notice 2 problems with this.(1)i use this over the lid & use a powder eyeshadow in my crease area. but i find with this eye basic on, i have trouble blending my crease colour properly. (2) it still caused my eyeshadows to crease but much lesser than normal. would like to try Urban decay's primer next... continued >>
I have these in Basic Pink and Basic Chocolate. I don't know if I'll ever go back to powder e/s again after these. They sweep on easily and blend flawlessly with the tip of my finger. I have an e/s creasing problem, but have not noticed any with these. A++
I can't believe I never wrote a review for this one! I received a super generous sample of this stuff from NM as a GWP. I used this little tube for months (every day!) as an eyeshadow base. The color I had was Linen, but I would buy it again (and also try other colors as a shadow). It held color really well and would never crease or look disgusting (e.g., cakey). No noticeable fragrance so perfect for sensitive skin like mine.
I use Eye Basics as a lid "concealer" as I don't have a problem with e/s creasing. The LM MA told me that Linen was a perfect match for my skin, but I thought the overall whitish look was a little harsh (I'm an NW 15/20). The color Wheat looked better/softer, even tho it's a bit darker than my skin. My eyes are deepset, with shadows all around, some blue veins and redness on the lids. This product completely evens out my eye area, making it look brighter and more youthful (I think the yellow tones in Wheat counteract the blue and pink.) I do wish, though, that there was a color in between Linen and Wheat. Also, I have to say that I nearly returned this without even using it--when I looked in the mirror a few hours after the MA's application, it was completely cakey and looked hideous. She used a brush and applied it much too thickly. If I just dot a little on, and smooth/tap it w/my finger, it never cakes. I sometimes wear Eye Basics by itself, with no e/s.
6 out of 7 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I got this off ebay for about £6 which was a fantastic bargain. I have Linen which is pretty much a perfect match for my PPP skin. It is SO much better than UD Primer Potion because it covers up my discoloured, transparent eyelids and doesn't make my eyelids look crepey. Eyeshadow lasts all day.
This is going to last a looooonng time. I don't know how I did eye m/u before this. It's both a base and e/s really and I have it in Wheat. The main reason I love it is bcos it brightens up my eye lid (a little grey discoloured with nothing on) and just makes me look awake like nothing else does. It's not foolproof bcos by the end of the day my e/s do crease a little - but then I do hve oily lids.
You only need a little bit and I use my finger to pat it on - it is a gel like consistency which blends and dries easily once on lids. I've had a few makeovers at LM counters and the MAs have used other colours on me in the Basics - a darker one for e.g. as she said that it would make my darker evening looks more intense - but I don't think it does. The colour range is quite similar in the Basics and I think you just need one that suits your skintone on the lid and one that you like. HG for me.

I have been using Eye Basics in Linen over the past two years. I have only had to purchase this two times over the past two years and I use it almost every day. The product lasts an extremely long time. It is so amazing! I couldn't imagine putting on eyeshadow without putting this on before. Everyone always tells me my makeup, especially eye makeup looks so professional. I really think this contributes so much to that. My eye makeup stays on all day and never fades, unless I wipe my eyes (eyeliner rubs). Anyone who loves makeup and/or even uses makeup should buy this. It is just so so great!
I have this in mocha, which is a true taupe brown and am using it as an eyeshadow on its own. Its very pigmented but blends easily with my fingertips. You just pat on a dot or two and blend. It is the most natural and flattering looking eye makeup I've ever tried. It looks great with green eyes and think (as its so neutral) that it would look great on most skin tones. You can build it up to be darker, but I like to wear it fairly sheer. It only takes a tiny bit. I can't believe I didn't know about this stuff and will definitely try more shades. Highly recommend to those out there who don't want glittery eyelids, but still want to draw attention to their eyes. I had no problem with creasing. It really looks like shadowed skin, not caked on makeup. Pretty steep price at $22 from Nordstrom, but still highly recommend.
More reviews by MedusasSnakePit
I have the Wheat and Bisque... Bisque looks natural, like a second eyelid. And the wheat is like a second eyelid that's just a shade lighter. They can look sexy just on their own, alternated, blended, whatever. Really multi- purpose eye primers, but if you want to eliminate creases, go for Urban Decay's Primer Potion specifically.

The VW Routan has ample room for all your goods, kids, and what have you, but it's not for dad.
The pluses:
The van drove very well on Ann Arbor's less-than-perfect roads, even better when we hit the smoother surfaces of Ohio. Cruise control kept us at a constant speed, and the onboard entertainment system kept the kids of all ages entertained. Large amounts of storage in the cabin includes multiple secure, hidden compartments. Cupholders at every turn might have you looking for restrooms often. We were pleased to discover this vehicle's range - our 100-mile trip to Toledo took only about a quarter tank of gas traveling between 75 and 78 mph. We loved the auto sliding doors, whether actuated from the key fob or the driver's seat. I always thought this feature was a bit silly until I loaded sixteen bags of groceries in a spring windstorm by myself.
The minuses:
The navigation system's auto-dimming function setting can be elusive and lead to unwarranted driver frustration. The reason this car isn't for dad is the driver's seat. Adjusted all the way back for a six-foot-plus driver, there wasn't much legroom. Big dads may have to call shotgun or play attendant to the kiddies. Large turning radius was a problem in tight parking lots. I'd like to have had a front camera to see where the nose was, or at least proximity sensors.

Should you buy an all-you-can-fly airline pass?
Airlines tend to offer unlimited passes during slower travel months. These packages typically cover a one-month period, range from $499 to $699, and require booking at least three days in advance. But the reality is that flying during these periods is already less expensive. For example, to recoup the cost of a recent $699 offer from JetBlue (which covered flights in the U.S., Mexico, and the Caribbean), you would have to fly round-trip from New York to Chicago four times. Not to mention that many programs don't include taxes and charge fees if you miss or cancel your flight. Unlimited passes are the best value if you're planning at least two trips-just make sure the airline flies where you want to go.

Spotting Banded Birds: Another Way Birders Can Contribute to Citizen Science
August 5, 2013
| 2
Anyone with a pair of binoculars is able to contribute to our understanding of migratory birds by simply keeping a look out for birds with bands. Birders Pat and Doris Leary have made significant contributions to science by focusing on bird bands and reporting their findings. You can help, too. Our blogger tells you how birders can turn every outing into an exciting citizen science project.

Horizontal Gene Transfer (n.) [MeSH]↕
Horizontal gene transfer (HGT), also lateral gene transfer (LGT) or transposition refers to the transfer of genetic material between organisms other than vertical gene transfer. Vertical transfer occurs when there is gene exchange from the parental generation to the offspring. LGT is then a mechanism of gene exchange that happens independently of reproduction.
Horizontal gene transfer is the primary reason for bacterial antibiotic resistance [1][2][3][4] and in the evolution of bacteria that can degrade novel compounds such as human-created pesticides.[5] This horizontal gene transfer often involves plasmids.[6] Genes that are responsible for antibiotic resistance in one species of bacteria can be transferred to another species of bacteria through various mechanisms (e.g., via F-pilus), subsequently arming the antibiotic resistant genes' recipient against antibiotics, which is becoming a medical challenge to deal with. This is the most critical reason that antibiotics must not be consumed and administered to patients without appropriate prescription from a medical physician.[7]
Most thinking in genetics has focused upon vertical transfer, but there is a growing awareness that horizontal gene transfer is a highly significant phenomenon and amongst single-celled organisms perhaps the dominant form of genetic transfer.[8][9]
Artificial horizontal gene transfer is a form of genetic engineering.
Contents |
Horizontal gene transfer was first described in Seattle in 1951 in a publication which demonstrated that the transfer of a viral gene into Corynebacterium diphtheria created a virulent from a non-virulent strain,[10] also simultaneously solving the riddle of diphtheria (that patients could be infected with the bacteria but not have any symptoms, and then suddenly convert later or never),[11] and giving the first example for the relevance of the lysogenic cycle.[12] Inter-bacterial gene transfer was first described in Japan in a 1959 publication that demonstrated the transfer of antibiotic resistance between different species of bacteria.[13][14] In the mid-1980s, Syvanen[15] predicted that lateral gene transfer existed, had biological significance, and was involved in shaping evolutionary history from the beginning of life on Earth.
As Jain, Rivera and Lake (1999) put it: "Increasingly, studies of genes and genomes are indicating that considerable horizontal transfer has occurred between prokaryotes."[16] (see also Lake and Rivera, 2007).[17] The phenomenon appears to have had some significance for unicellular eukaryotes as well. As Bapteste et al. (2005) observe, "additional evidence suggests that gene transfer might also be an important evolutionary mechanism in protist evolution."[18]
There is some evidence that even higher plants and animals have been affected and this has raised concerns for safety.[19] However, Richardson and Palmer (2007) state: "Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) has played a major role in bacterial evolution and is fairly common in certain unicellular eukaryotes. However, the prevalence and importance of HGT in the evolution of multicellular eukaryotes remain unclear."[20]
Due to the increasing amount of evidence suggesting the importance of these phenomena for evolution (see below) molecular biologists such as Peter Gogarten have described horizontal gene transfer as "A New Paradigm for Biology".[21]
It should also be noted that the process may be a hidden hazard of genetic engineering as it may allow dangerous transgenic DNA to spread from species to species.[19]
There are several mechanisms for horizontal gene transfer:[22][23]
The virus called Mimivirus infects amoebae. Another virus, called Sputnik, also infects amoebae, but it cannot reproduce unless mimivirus has already infected the same cell.[25] "Sputnik's genome reveals further insight into its biology. Although 13 of its genes show little similarity to any other known genes, three are closely related to mimivirus and mamavirus genes, perhaps cannibalized by the tiny virus as it packaged up particles sometime in its history. This suggests that the satellite virus could perform horizontal gene transfer between viruses, paralleling the way that bacteriophages ferry genes between bacteria."[26]
Horizontal gene transfer is common among bacteria, even amongst very distantly-related ones. This process is thought to be a significant cause of increased drug resistance[27] when one bacterial cell acquires resistance and quickly transfers the resistance genes to many species.[28][29]
"Sequence comparisons suggest recent horizontal transfer of many genes among diverse species including across the boundaries of phylogenetic "domains". Thus determining the phylogenetic history of a species can not be done conclusively by determining evolutionary trees for single genes."[30]
Genetic engineering is essentially horizontal gene transfer, albeit with synthetic expression cassettes. The Sleeping Beauty transposon system[44] (SB) was developed as a synthetic gene transfer agent that was based on the known abilities of Tc1/mariner transposons to invade genomes of extremely diverse species.[45] The SB system has been used to introduce genetic sequences into a wide variety of animal genomes.[46][47]
Horizontal gene transfer is a potential confounding factor in inferring phylogenetic trees based on the sequence of one gene.[48] For example, given two distantly related bacteria that have exchanged a gene a phylogenetic tree including those species will show them to be closely related because that gene is the same even though most other genes are dissimilar. For this reason it is often ideal to use other information to infer robust phylogenies such as the presence or absence of genes or, more commonly, to include as wide a range of genes for phylogenetic analysis as possible.
For example, the most common gene to be used for constructing phylogenetic relationships in prokaryotes is the 16s rRNA gene since its sequences tend to be conserved among members with close phylogenetic distances, but variable enough that differences can be measured. However, in recent years it has also been argued that 16s rRNA genes can also be horizontally transferred. Although this may be infrequent the validity of 16s rRNA-constructed phylogenetic trees must be reevaluated.[citation needed]
Biologist Johann Peter Gogarten suggests "the original metaphor of a tree no longer fits the data from recent genome research" therefore "biologists should use the metaphor of a mosaic to describe the different histories combined in individual genomes and use the metaphor of a net to visualize the rich exchange and cooperative effects of HGT among microbes."[21] There exist several methods to infer such phylogenetic networks.
Using single genes as phylogenetic markers, it is difficult to trace organismal phylogeny in the presence of horizontal gene transfer. Combining the simple coalescence model of cladogenesis with rare HGT horizontal gene transfer events suggest there was no single most recent common ancestor that contained all of the genes ancestral to those shared among the three domains of life. Each contemporary molecule has its own history and traces back to an individual molecule cenancestor. However, these molecular ancestors were likely to be present in different organisms at different times."[21]
Uprooting the Tree of Life by W. Ford Doolittle (Scientific American, February 2000, pp 90–95)[49] contains a discussion of the Last Universal Common Ancestor and the problems that arose with respect to that concept when one considers horizontal gene transfer. The article covers a wide area — the endosymbiont hypothesis for eukaryotes, the use of small subunit ribosomal RNA (SSU rRNA) as a measure of evolutionary distances (this was the field Carl Woese worked in when formulating the first modern "tree of life", and his research results with SSU rRNA led him to propose the Archaea as a third domain of life) and other relevant topics. Indeed, it was while examining the new three-domain view of life that horizontal gene transfer arose as a complicating issue: Archaeoglobus fulgidus is cited in the article (p. 76) as being an anomaly with respect to a phylogenetic tree based upon the encoding for the enzyme HMGCoA reductase — the organism in question is a definite Archaean, with all the cell lipids and transcription machinery that are expected of an Archaean, but whose HMGCoA genes are actually of bacterial origin.[49]
Again on p. 76, the article continues with:
The article continues with:
With regard to how horizontal gene transfer affects evolutionary theory (common descent, universal phylogenetic tree) Carl Woese says:
However, in a May 2010 article in Nature, Douglas Theobald[51] argued that there was indeed one Last Universal Common Ancestor to all existing life and that horizontal gene transfer has not destroyed our ability to infer this.
There is evidence for historical horizontal transfer of the following genes:

Guildwatch: "This is not a f$#(ing joke" {WoW}

The Daily Quest: Of goodbyes and Ulduar progression {WoW}
Apr 21st 2009 3:03AM I'm in a 25-man raiding guild but we did set aside one night for 10-man raids. We ran 3 groups through. One ended early (I believe they got up to Hodir) and the other two cleared up to Mimiron before calling it for the night.
From our groups experience on the 10-mans, the first bosses are certainly the easiest. We all initially skipped Ignis and Razorscale at first so we could see the later bosses but my group returned later and pushed them over without a problem.
I would have to say that the most difficult was Mimiron (we didn't get to Vezax and Yogg) and the next most difficult was Freya. We were all a little new to Thorim at the time as we hadn't downed him yet in 25-man so we took a few wipes and tweaked our strategy a bit before we got it.
Also, pre-nerf Ignis on 25-man was a cockblock. Really, it was frustrating. It took us about 3hrs to take him down. Post-nerf Ignis on 10-man was a joke.
Guildwatch: A kinder, gentler GW {WoW}
Apr 2nd 2009 12:13AM Might as well check here since I'm looking for a new guild.
I'm a NE resto druid considering a transfer to another server for an opportunity to raid in a top end guild. Top 3 on server preferably. I have to admit, my requirements are pretty restricting (time wise). I work somewhat late so raid times would have to be at about 10:30 EST, 9:30 CST, 8:30 MST, 7:30 PST, etc for me to be consistently on time. I would like the guild to have cleared sarth 3D at least several times and ready to go in Ulduar. PTR raiding would be a bonus. I don't really expect any serious recruitment inquiries here, but I'll keep looking. If anybody knows of a guild like this, let me know. I'd appreciate it.

Traditionally, digital comics have been to comics retailers what kryptonite was to Superman — something to be feared and avoided. And DC's Bob Wayne has been in the forefront of keeping retailers happy, to the point of shutting down many initiatives over the years that might have ruffled their feathers and caused them to order fewer DC Comics.
It's official: DC takes the ultimate step and relaunches 50 titles, including digital release
After a few weeks of buzz and speculation — or merely simple detective work based on the very final sounding August DC solicits — it's been announced:DC is revamping its entire line this September with new versions of classic characters and 50 new #1 titles, USA Today reports.

Chiarello promoted to VP – Art Direction & Design at DC
Continuing DC's rollout of promotions and restructuring, Mark Chiarello, the mastermind behind WEDNESDAY COMICS and many other much-admired projects over the years such as BATMAN: BLACK AND WHITE, has been promoted to VP Art Direction & Design. Chiarello had been overseeing most of DC's art-related output for some time, and the appointment consolidates functions which had been under several positions that were eliminated in the restructuring.
DC announces editorial moves; Berganza, Sattler promoted
Via the Source, DC Editor-in-chief Bob Harras has announced the new structure of the DCU, with long time editor Eddie Berganza getting promoted from group editor to Executive Editor. Group Editors Matt Idelson and Mike Marts will oversee the Superman and Batman groups, respectively, while Ian Sattler has been promoted to Director–Editorial, Special Projects & Archival Editions. The post doesn't go into details of what that will cover, but since Harras left running the recently downsized reprint department, it sounds like Sattler will be taking that over. The editorial team is rounded out by Vertigo's Karen Berger and MAD's John Ficarra– it isn't clear if they are reporting to Harras or not, nut in any event they will be working closely.
What up, Vertigo?
In all the massive changes taking place at DC of late, the fate of the Vertigo imprint has caused much speculation and fretting. The staff has been slashed, output has been slowed, and what the future focus will be has not been publicly revealed. This comes, ironically enough, at the very time that plans long hatched for Vertigo to become more of a graphic novel imprint are finally being published. Chris Mautner takes a look at several recent GN offerings, which include work by novelists Stephen King, Peter Straub, Denise Mina, and Mat Johnson, as well as more typical comics types like Matt Kindt, Sarah Glidden and Dean Haspiel. There are hits and misses but this is really a pretty lively line-up for any publisher, let alone one that is being completely rebranded.
What's up at: DC Comics
Nothing really, business as usual.
Seriously, there is a lot of change going on — although DC Comics is staying in New York, a lot of people are either leaving their jobs or being faced with a move to another coast. We're not going to run all 80 — or however many it is — names, but some departments are newsworthy enough to be reported on.
Cutbacks at Vertigo
As part of DC's ongoing reorganization, three editorial personnel have been laid off from the Vertigo imprint: Pornsak Pichetshote, Jonathan Vankin, and Joan Hilty, The Beat has learned. All three are Vertigo veterans. Pichetshote was responsible for the recent hit THE UNWRITTEN, while Hilty and Vankin had mostly worked in acquiring graphic novels, including fall releases, CUBA and HOW TO UNDERSTAND ISRAEL IN 60 DAYS OR LESS.
DC Daily News
A lot of think pieces are beginning to come out about the DC upheaval — it's beginning to be clear that the initial feelings of relief after the first press release were about as accurate as the "We dodged that one!" feelings right after Katrina passed through. As expected, Tom Spurgeon lays out Twelve Initial Questions I Have About DC's Publishing Moves Announcements and it's very thorough. Tom writes from the distinct perspective of someone who isn't immersed in day-to-day DC Kremlinology and yet comes to many of the same conclusions.
80 DC employees to move or be laid off
When a company spokesman suggested that the LA Times story stating that 20 percent of DC's 250 or 50 employees would be laid off, was incorrect, he was perhaps half right. Bloomberg News uncovered a NY State Dept. of Labor WARN filing (Worker Adjustment and Retraining) which says that 80 employees will be laid off or relocate. Layoffs will begin on 12/27/2010 and continue through 8/27/2011, according to filer June Martin, SVP Human Resources. A DC spokesman told Bloomberg:
DC moves only part of bigger WB shake-up
As we head into Day 3 of the Bi-Coastal Era of DC Comics, even bigger organizational changes were announced at Warner Bros. Short version: Time Warner head Jeff Bewkes announced that Warner Bros Chairman/CEO Barry Meyer would be staying on for two years (he had been rumored to be retiring before that) but studio head Alan Horn will be moving along in April 2011. Three men will fill a three-headed president role to replace Horn: Jeff Robinov, the movie guy, Bruce Rosenblum, the TV guy, and Kevin Tsujihara the multimedia/home entertainment guy.
Although this all seems far distant from the traditional comics business, it is all tied in, of course.
The WildStorm Legacy
With the announcement of the closure of WildStorm imprint at DC and the retiring of the WildStorm name, it isn't just another in a long list of comics imprints that have ended over the years. In its 18 year run WildStorm has been a vital part of several revolutions in commercial comics, and changed the game in many ways — Rob Liefeld's post below gives a succinet run down of some of the highlights.
Founded by Jim Lee as one of the original six Image Studios (along with Marc Sillvestri's Top Cow, Todd McFarlane's McFarlane Productions, Rob Liefeld's Extreme Studios, Jim Valentino's ShadowLine and Erik Larsen's Highbrow Entertainment), WildStorm immediately established itself as one of the most commercial, with huge sellers like WildCATS and Gen 13. A series of developing fan favorite artists, including of course Lee himself, but also J. Scott Campbell, Joe Madureira and Humberto Ramos, kept popularity up, while the creator owned Homage imprint delivered such strong properties as Astro City and Leave it To Chance.
Although known first for their art, by the end of the decade, WildStorm was really becoming known for some of the most daring mainstream writing of the period, with genre-defining work by Warren Ellis and Mark Millar, strong adventure material by Jimmy Palmiotti and Ed Brubaker, as well as daring experiments like Automatic Kafka, a book by Joe Casey and Ashley Wood that people are still figuring out.
And then there was America's Best Comics, an new line of comics written by Alan Moore that would introduce the world to League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Tom Strong, Promethea and Top Ten, the superhero police procedural. And our favorite, Jack B. Quick, the boy inventor who solved science's greatest non problems.
Of course, there are dark parts to the legacy as well, all of which will be trotted out and discussed at length, we're sure. But for now, we asked creators and staff for some of their good memories, and this is what they came back with.
DC: The day after
Well, a very very looong week continues for employees of DC Entertainment as each and every person undergoes an interview to explain whether they are staying, going, or getting laid off. Ugh. There is certainly a lot of information and speculation floating around, but it seems unnecessary to play this out on the internet while staff is still being informed.
In the meantime, for observers, this IGN interview with Diane Nelson, Jim Lee and Dan DiDio includes as much information as we're likely to get for now. While as many questions remain today as there were yesterday, at least there is a plan in place, says Nelson:
20% of DC's staff expected to be cut — UPDATED
Okay, now we know why there's still unease over all outposts of the DC Entertainment empire today: In the first interview we've seen with DC head Diane Nelson, she explains that DC's staff will be cut by 20%:
