let's have a contest
You know the fantastic blogger bundles she has in her store? Like this one and this one
If you were chief bundle maker what would you choose?
Well, here's your chance to give it a go.
Pick a selection of 12 fabrics in Brenda's store (use the etsy shop or website or both), make a mosaic using the mosaic maker at big huge labs and blog about it (or upload your mosaic to flickr). Then come back and tell me using the linky tool (at the bottom of this page) that you've done so.
The contest is open until March 31st and the 2 winners will each win their own bundle AND get that very same bundle listed in Brenda's store! Fame at last!
Not sure how to make a mosaic? Here's a quick (rough!) guide. First you need to 'borrow' the pictures of the fabrics you like from Pink Castle Fabrics. Either save them to your desktop, or right click to copy them. Don't forget to note what the fabric is called too! You can then upload the photos one by one to the mosaic maker at big huge labs. Just follow the instructions and you'll be good to go. It's really self explanatory - I swear! Small Print - You can enter more than once, but can only win one prize (there's nothing stopping you entering a few bundles though, just to increase you chances, is there?!) International entries are welcome, Brenda's decision on winners is final. If a fabric isn't available a suitable replacement of equal quality will be used.
This is mine, I call it England's Skies, because right now as I'm writing this the sky is a strange greyish brown beige. It's almost dusk and the early evening sun is trying to shine through the clouds, but not quite managing it. That sounds all a bit deep and artsy. I'm not sure I like that. Anyway - that's what it reminds me of, and a neutral bundle is always handy to have on hand - you could add in a splash of any other colour to this stash building set and make a really lovely calming quilt.
Although I can't actually enter the contest (obviously!) - it's just for fun.
The fabrics I used are;
Top row, left to right;
dumb dot in Charcoal
fly a kite damask in brown
herringbone in maple tan
Second row left to right;
vintage ironwork in khaki
quilters linen straw
quilters linen gray
Third row, left to right;
lock and key in khaki
seeds in gray
hometown news in cream
Fourth row, left to right;
daisy's dates in graphite
circle stripes in cloud gray
lace in mud
Don't forget if you order anything from pink castle on etsy use KATY15 as a code on check out to get 15% off your order.
(Edited to add - the idea for this contest was based on the fortnightly fabric pack feature we used to put together at Fat Quarterly and the fabulous contest Laura had recently on her blog)

We have just uploaded our own Hotel review system (Beta version) to the My Reservations section This will allow customers to comment on their stay, score the hotel over a number of area's and pass on any travel tips they feel might be helpful to others. In keeping with the My Reservations section this review submission form has been designed to work on any platform, be it, mobile phones, Android tablets or PC's.
It's currently in Beta because it's new and as yet not fully formed. We have some really interesting ideas about how we can make this information useful to our customers. for the future. So for now we are rolling it out in its limited Beta form while we gauge customer feedback.
We could have taken the easy road with this and simply imported review data from a third party. In fact we have been approached by a number of companies asking us to do just that. The problem is that in the long term we think we can do a better job on this than what has been done so far.
Log into the My Reservations system and select the Add your review link. To ensure that all reviews are genuine, you can only submit a review after your stay.
An operator checks that the submission complies with the rules (T&C). If it does then the review is published to the website and an email is sent to you confirming that your review has been published.
If you have something to say, send us a message. contact us

On this V8 engine, timing chain problems are very common. Because the timing chain tensioners were made from plastic, they can fail prematurely and cause serious engine damage. A noticeable engine noise while idling or during a cold start can indicate a timing chain tensioner problem. The engine noise may also be accompanied by a rough or uneven engine idle. Improved components are available to remedy this problem.

Answering the Call: 10. Gimli
Gimli sat heavily on a craggy rock with a deep sigh and wondered about the rest of the Fellowship. Were they alive? Were the hobbits still captives or had the others been successful in freeing them? What had become of Frodo?
He missed them. Even the blasted elf! Gimli, son of Gloín, not only wished for the company of an elf, but Thranduil's son. He could not deny it, however. He especially longed for Legolas's song, which never failed to soothe him. He wished for a small bit of Aragorn's steadfastness, too. Even past hope, the man waged his battle relentlessly. He was in need of some of that persistence now.
And the hobbits. How he missed their unfailing optimism, their cheer, their laughter. For them, as long as they survived and were together, there was reason to rejoice. And they found joy in the simplest of pleasures. A plate of food, a mug of ale, and a pipe of the Shire's finest, all full of course, and they were content. But most of all, he missed what lay beneath it all - their perseverance.
He remembered now his last sight of Frodo as the hobbit relinquished the Ring and all hope. Gimli might have none of what pushed a hobbit onward - mug, pipe, or companionship - but he had that memory and it was enough.
Gimli struggled to refrain from pacing as he waited with the others for Frodo's return. The hobbit's choice would decide their direction from this point.
And as quickly as that, their direction was chosen for them. Gimli had heard the elvish word enough that he sprang to action immediately. Frodo was soon running back to camp, holding up his faintly glimmering sword. Orcs indeed, and they were near.
Aragorn looked up to see Frodo and his shining sword and nodded. "Stay close. The Orcs that Sting announces should still be on the east side of the Anduin. They may look to make a crossing soon, perhaps here at this very spot. The first Orcs I witness upon Amon Hen will be a sore sight indeed."
"Does no danger approach from this side of the River?" Frodo asked.
"A weight of darkness nears us from both east and west, yet its source is not clear," Legolas answered. "I hear countless footfalls, but mostly from the east. I can only hope that Aragorn is right and Sauron's beasts have not yet crossed the Anduin."
Gimli grumbled softly in frustration. He heard and saw nothing as of yet, and knew he had to rely on the sharper eyes and ears of the elf, as did the others. A dread washed over him and he found himself wondering whom would they lose this time. Then he felt a soft shudder in the ground below his feet. Echoes of footfalls. Many footfalls. An army approached.
As Gimli opened his mouth to give warning, Legolas whipped his head around. "They come at us from the west!" he cried and raced up the hill, Gimli close behind him.
Aragorn's eyes widened for a moment as it became clear that without quick thought and action, they would be cornered. "Hobbits, stay close together!" he ordered.
Boromir followed him up the hill. "Aragorn! We will not be enough -"
"Come!" he said to all of them, ignoring Boromir's protest. "Stay close! Remember our duty to the Ringbearer."
The hobbits needed no further instruction. Frodo's three small companions surrounded him. Around them, the Big Folk created another ring of protection.
And the Orcs swarmed down upon them.
There was little time for Legolas's bow, and soon the two men, the dwarf, and the elf were in close combat. As the pile of dead Orcs grew, the thunder of approaching footsteps told them the creatures they fought were only a first guard. They could not hope to strike down an entire army of Orcs.
Gimli could see the hobbits in a tight knot in the center, but even now, Orcs and the larger uruk-hai were finding holes in their defenses. He stole a quick glance at Frodo. Wide-eyed, the hobbit clung to Sting and steeled himself as the uruk-hai came closer by the moment. The dwarf would not lose hope for Frodo's sake.
Harder and faster he swung his axe as a large beast rolled over the carcass of a former companion and fell within reach of Merry. Boromir took a step toward the hobbit, but another Orc came between them. Slicing off its head, the man took another step towards the hobbit and the uruk-hai who now had a hand on him.
Gimli heard Pippin cry out and his heart seized as he saw him also in the hands of the foul beasts. The two men immediately moved to strike down the Orcs, but more Orcs and uruk-hai cut them off once again. Aragorn freed himself from one by parting its arm from the rest of its body while Boromir dropped and rolled over an Orc that had latched onto his throat. Gimli added his axe to the fray and ended the Orc's efforts. Finding himself free, Boromir took after the two beasts as they ran from the battle with the hobbits slung over their shoulders. Gimli thought the man's efforts in vain as two more Orcs attacked Boromir from each side as he ran, but with two swipes of his sword he dispatched them and continued.
Aragorn seemed hard-pressed to leave the Ringbearer's side, and Gimli understood as he grasped how they were being divided. Gimli watched as Boromir followed the two captive hobbits while Aragorn remained to protect Sam and Frodo. Another glance between blows revealed a large uruk-hai coming over the rise behind them, holding up a large crossbow.
"Boromir! Down, Boromir!" Aragorn cried out, finally abandoning the hobbits to try to save the man's life, but instead he could only strike down the Orcs that barred his way. When Gimli next looked up, Boromir was rolling down the hill, long black arrows protruding from his chest. Aragorn chased after him in vain.
Gimli managed to keep one eye on Frodo and Sam as they watched Merry and Pippin disappear into the forest and another eye on Aragorn as he spoke with Boromir for the last time. Offering a promise with a nod to the hobbits, Aragorn ran up the hill in pursuit of their cousins.
Bringing his attention back to the beasts in front of him, Gimli saw Sam take on an Orc, stabbing it hard enough to incite its fury. The gardener's wrath was nearly a match for the creature's but Gimli did not have to wait to see who would win the contest, as Legolas sliced off its head. "Thank you, Mister Legolas, that one didn't seem to want to give up!" Sam cried.
"No need to thank me, Samwise. Keep your eyes on those Orcs and your master. We must not be overrun." Gimli was reassured to hear Legolas as calm as ever.
"Begging your pardon-" Sam paused to take a stab at another Orc "-but do you think there's much chance of that? There seem to be more-" another pause to duck the swing of a blade "-coming every moment, as if another were being born as soon as they died, or whatever it is they do."
"There's always a chance, always a hope." Legolas looked at Sam as he stabbed an Orc approaching from the side. "As long as you keep it." As he turned to attack three Orcs furiously, Gimli felt the breathing room Legolas's efforts gave them. Gimli was about to warn him when Legolas turned to attack an Orc approaching from behind. For once, Gimli was thankful that Legolas had eyes behind his head.
"Master Elf," Gimli cried out now, continuing his assault without looking up, "if you have any strategies or suggestions for making an attack on such a force, elvish or otherwise, they would be greatly appreciated at this point."
Legolas stole a glance at Gimli, who knew that although he fought with all his strength at the moment, it would not be long before he grew weary. As Legolas sliced off another head, he nodded in acknowledgement of the truth between Gimli's words: With the number of Orcs that continued to come at them, and as Aragorn not returned, they would soon fail if they did not find an exit from this battle.
"Sam!" Gimli heard the elf cry. The hobbit had slipped and a nearby Orc had quickly taken hold of him. In a moment, Legolas had thrown himself onto the large uruk-hai. Gimli watched Legolas roll away with the uruk-hai so many times larger than him. The dwarf did not take time to wonder if an uruk-hai were stronger than an elf. He stole a quick look around. They had all been scattered. As his axe continued to swing, he turned to the Ringbearer, now left with only Gimli as guard, as Sam struggled with another Orc. Part of the plan or no, their strength was divided. The might of the Fellowship was to be found as one. Now, the Quest itself was endangered as each was forced into his own battle.
Gimli faced Frodo across the clearing, seeing the realization reflected in the hobbit's eyes. If they had not yet failed, they soon would. Gimli would not accept that. They must continue. Clearly, the Orcs had come for the hobbits, as another was trying to cart off Sam at the moment. Spying another Orc coming for him, Frodo turned back to Gimli, a new determination in his face.
Gimli reached out to Frodo, trying to catch him before the Orc laid its hands upon him. Their only hope now, Gimli knew, was escape. "Run, Frodo! Run, with what speed your legs can give you!" But Orcs were swift creatures and this one lifted up Frodo moments before Gimli reached him.
The dwarf saw Frodo hang limply over the uruk-hai's shoulder, defeat in his face. Then, Frodo's eyes lit strangely as they landed upon Gimli. If Gimli had not known better - and had not been in the midst of dozens of Orcs - he would have thought it was hope he saw in the hobbit, like a childhood story suddenly brought to mind.
Frodo looked down at Gimli from the height of the uruk-hai's shoulder. He reached out to Gimli's already-outstretched arms and opened his hand. "Run, Gimli!" he cried. "Run with what speed your legs can give you! You must do this, for me! For all of us!"
Gimli ducked as another Orc made to jump on him. It underestimated how small a ducking dwarf might be and rolled over him completely. In that moment, Gimli was able to look into his hand. He froze as an icy chill stole down his spine. Frodo had dropped into his hand the heaviest of burdens. He had given him the Ring.
"Frodo! No, Frodo!" Gimli cried, though he did not know whether he did so in grief at his capture or in protest of his gift. Jamming his elbow into the face of an Orc who still had fight left in him and refused to follow the others' retreat, he began to give chase to the uruk-hai. He recalled then the hobbit's words, and knew, as Frodo faded from sight over the ridge, that he was right.
His heart sank to his stomach as he became aware that Frodo had given up all hope of accomplishing his Quest, the duty assigned to him. He likely had given up hope of living through this at all. And so now, he, Gimli, son of Gloín, carried the Ring. He was now the Ringbearer. The last duty or honor the dwarf might wish for was to carry this wretched thing all the way to Mordor.
His heart breaking, he turned his back on his companions and fled into the forest, knowing that he must survive now, even at the cost of all others.
And so he ran.
The dwarf heaved a heavy sigh. This was his duty now and he would not fail them. The greatest difficulty was that he was without a guide. The only companionship, if it could be called such, was the stalking creature he had spied on occasion. He knew not its intent, but if his axe itched for more work than hunting squirrel or rabbit, he might have to approach it. If he felt the need, it was likely it could be easily dispatched.
He had discovered he did have a navigator quite by accident. After fleeing the Orcs and the Company, he had headed south at first, but soon saw he was traveling east as well. Gimli knew that somewhere in that direction lay Mordor; but it was more than this knowledge that led him. Some cold nights later as he lay awake on the unyielding ground, he felt a tug toward that dreaded mountain. The Ring was leading him to Mordor. It drew him hardest when he heeded It most. Usually, It was simply a heavy weight on his neck. But when he granted It his full regard, It showed him the direction It wished him to take.
Without a guide, this was his only compass. So he took to granting the Ring his full awareness from time to time to gain a sense of the right path. Once sure of it, he would put the cursed trinket away in some pocket and try to forget Its maddening susurrations. He must focus on his duty.
Now, Gimli slowly rose from his seat, after taking some moments to get a sense of direction again. He could almost see Mordor now. Soon he would not need to gaze into that piece of metal again, beautiful though it was. He was glad for that, for It grew heavier and the whispers grew louder each time he let the Ring overwhelm him. He only wished to silence the constant murmurs in the dark hours of the night.
The air was changing as he traveled southeast. More humid, he could smell the fetid waters of the marsh he was approaching. He could only hope that he could find a way through. If he failed, he would have to find another way. But he would not give up. Frodo had passed this duty to him. For Frodo, he would complete it. Or die trying.

Thai Shrimp Cake
My friend Chef Robert Danhi and I share a lot of things in common, so it's no surprise that we hit it off as soon as we connected on Twitter a few years ago.
Describing himself as a "hard-boiled egg"—white on the outside but yellow inside—Robert embraces everything Asian when it comes to cooking, eating, and traveling. Every year, Robert spends months in Southeast Asia…trekking from one street food stall or home kitchen to the next, learning about local cooking. His passion for Southeast Asian cooking is feverish, and his love for countries like Thailand, Vietnam, and Malaysia is nothing I have seen…the end result from his extensive research and traveling in the region for over 20 years.
We share the same interests and always have so much fun chatting on the phone, meeting in person and eating through the streets of George Town, Penang. I adore him for his deep knowledge about Southeast Asian cuisines, his fervent enthusiasm and dedication to learn more, and his cultural immersions in the exotic far east. He is a champion.
Needless to say, I was extremely thrilled about Robert's new cookbook Easy Thai Cooking, released just weeks ago. The cover of the cookbook features a mouthwatering serving of Thai Shrimp Cake, which practically screams "eat me eat me" the moment I had the book in my hand.
Robert Danhi's Easy Thai Cooking features 75 delicious Thai recipes that you can prepare any day of the week. As a James Beard nominee and CIA trained chef, the cookbook offers expert guidance on acquiring and maintaining a well-stocked Thai pantry. With basic ingredients and step-by-step instructions you can make stunning dishes like Grilled Chicken Wings with Kaffir Lime Chili Glaze or Sweet-n-Spicy Pork Ribs or Green Mango and Cashew Salad. With the help of Easy Thai Cooking, you can bring the taste of Thailand home.
What I really love about the cookbook is that the dishes are mostly chef-renditions of traditional Thai dishes. You won't find the regular Thai recipes but the cookbook offers authentic tastes of Thai cooking: sweet, sour, hot, and salty. For example, the Thai shrimp cake that I made was bursting with bold flavors of the red curry paste, shrimp, and sweet and spicy dipping sauce. It was absolutely delightful!
If you love Thai food (who doesn't?) and wish to explore beyond the regular Tom Yum and Pad Thai, pick up a copy of this book at Amazon or a book store near you. If you're not convinced, check out what the pros and mega food celebs have to say about it:
David Thompson, author of Thai Food and Thai Street Food
"Robert's genial approach to Thai cooking has created an accessible, informative book. His recipe are based on the food he has eaten on the streets of Bangkok and beyond. Robert manages to make the methods practical and achievable in a western kitchen—making all of us happy farang cooks."
Rick Bayless, winner of Top Chef Masters
"If you want to cook great Thai food in your kitchen, let Robert—a truly great teacher—lead you through it one step at a time. This book shows you how simple it can be to create those deliciously captivating flavors of Thailand in your own kitchen."
Noami Duguid, co-author of Hot Sour Salty Sweet: Culinary Travels Through Southeast Asia
"An attractive invitation to engage with Thai food at home with pleasure and ease. Robert Danhi is a long0time Thai food enthusiast whose clear explanations and photos make it all accessible, from curries and salads to sauces and sweets."

Hi I love Thai food and this shrimp cake looks delicious…yummy and make my mouth water looking at the pictures. Is this book available outside of the US?
I've tried the fish cake version from my Vietnamese friend. Yummy! She told me that to make the fish cake version more 'bouncy', the secret is adding ice cubes during your step 2. But, maybe is the same as you placed it in the freezer. I'll try this weekend, thanks for sharing!
sounds good…gotta try thiem
Carol and Sookie – hope you enjoy the shrimp cake recipe!!!!!
I made this as an appetizer today, and my husband loved it! He said the recipe is a keeper. :)
Just made the shrimp cakes-they were delicious! A lot of bang for the buck, easy and very flavorful. Thanks for the lovely blog, and great recipes!
Nice recipe, very delicious and sounds great
I'm so glad I found this recipe, it brings back loving memory of my Mother and I chowing down Shrimp cakes at our local Thai restaurant. Thank you ! I can't wait to try them.

Rod Stewart Eying Faces Reunion In 2014
Wednesday, May 8, 2013
Rod Stewart is once again fanning the flames of a reunion Faces reunion -- but as usual is blaming Ron Wood for throwing a wrench in the works. Rod releases his latest album today (May 7th) called, Time. The collection marks his long-awaited return to songwriting and features 11 new songs, which he co-wrote and produced.
In 2012, Rod was all set to play with the Faces -- Ron Wood, Ian MacLagan, and Kenney Jones -- during their induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, marking the first time he and the group joined forces since 1993. At the 11th hour, Rod fell ill and was advised under doctor's orders not to travel. Simply Red's Mick Hucknall, who's been his replacement over the past few years during Faces gigs, as always, wowed the crowd who at this point are used to Rod not showing up to the reunion gigs.
Now Rod says that 2014 looks like the year that he'll finally commit to playing with his former-bandmates, telling The Sun: "Well, we were on for it but he got nabbed back by the Rolling Stones, didn't he? But let them have him, because my eyes are on next year. I'd really like a reunion of the Jeff Beck Group AND the Faces with Ronnie. Imagine that? We've got the UK tour coming up with the residency at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas after that then we can start thinking about the Faces."
Over the past decade, Rod Stewart and Ron Wood have teamed up in the studio for a supposed joint album, which at one point was said to be tentatively titled, You Strum - I'll Sing. A while back we asked Rod if there's any chance we'll see him and Ron Wood teaming up for new sessions: "There may be, there may be. Y'know, it all depends on Ronnie. . . Ronnie's got another group that he's in, y'see (laughs). He wants to know what they're going to do before -- y'know, I can't put my career on hold waiting for Ronnie, who's waiting on them. So that's the way it goes on and on. Y'know, maybe one day when they pack it in, we'll have a bit more time together."

[ADOBE® TV] [tv.adobe.com] If you're creating content for broadcasts, [Colin Smith - Sr. Solutions Consultant] there are new loudness standards that you must comply with because if you don't, your content could get rejected. There's a new Loudness Radar by TC Electronic inside both Adobe Audition and Premiere Pro. It's filled with all of the broadcast standards. So if you stay within those local standards, you can guarantee that you're going to meet those loudness standards. Let's go have a look. Inside Adobe Audition I have created 3 different buses. There's a dialog bus, a music bus, and my master bus just for this example. I'm going to open up the Loudness Radar that I've applied to the master bus and just reset that and hit Play. You'll notice that we get an outside meter that goes around here, but then we get this inside radar that's showing us overall sound. And what's great about this is it provides us with a loudness history so we can easily see how our program is doing. We can also see down at the bottom the Loudness Range and the overall Program Loudness. So tremendous ways to work. What I'm also going to do is open up the music bus and I'll go to my dialog bus, and you'll notice that each one of these has a Loudness Radar on it. I love this because you can now balance each one visually between them. [man speaking] I don't know that a lot of people really get Danny Way. [Smith] So the yellow area is the higher level, obviously. You don't want to exceed that. And the blue level is too low. So you want to stay between the green and the yellow level. The blue level will actually be below the noise floor and be difficult for someone to even hear. I can tell already that the music bus is lower than the dialog bus. That's perfect. Dialog bus is not too hot, and my overall broadcast level is also okay. This is based on one of the standards. I can actually go in here and look at different standards, and I can even pause this and I can see what these measurements are based on different standards. You'll notice that I have the Default standard, ATSC standards, a CD Master, a Cinema standard, EBU and TR standards. Each one of these is setting all of these. So as I change them, you'll notice those settings change. So what are they? The first one defines the overall Target Loudness. The next is the Radar Speed. This radar right now is going pretty quick, but if I pop this up you'll notice I can take this all the way up to 24 hours, and that's going to give me the overall history of my loudness. And the Radar Resolution, this is the spacing between here, and I can have that either as 3 dBs all the way up to 12 dBs. Then there's the Momentary Range. You've got 2 choices: +9, which is intended for normal broadcasts, or +18 for film drama and wide range music. This is the lowest level, the difference between the blue and green levels. If it goes too low down in here, it will be below the noise floor, and your audience won't hear that. This is the overall Loudness Units. There's 3 choices here. There's one for the International Telecommunication Union, European Broadcasting Union, and the target value for EBU and ITU. The overall Loudness Standard that you want to choose and then the Peak Indicator. That's this little peak right up here. It will light up red if you've exceeded that Peak Indicator. So again, when I hit Play, you can now balance this, the Loudness Radar overall, and really have a great idea of how your broadcast is shaping up. There's no limit to how many of these Loudness Radars you want to have on there-- maybe just 1 on the dialog for an interview and 1 on the master. It's totally up to you. The Loudness Radar by TC Electronic is both in Premiere Pro and Adobe Audition. [Adobe]

STOCK Tg(Rbp1-cre)MJ72Gsat/Mmcd
Transgene: Tg(Rbp1-cre)MJ72Gsat
Name: transgene insertion MJ72, GENSAT Project at Rockefeller University
Alteration at locus: Transgenic (cre)
Transgene: cre (Bacteriophage P1)
Name: cre recombinase
Alteration at locus: Transgenic (cre)
Promoter: Rbp1
Name: retinol binding protein 1, cellular
Alteration at locus: Transgenic (cre)
Genetic Alterations:
BAC engineering was used to insert an intron containing cre cassettes, followed by a polyadenylation sequence to terminate transcription of the fusion transcript immediately after the recombinase gene, into the BAC vector at the initiating ATG codon in the first coding exon of the gene. The BAC address for this line is RP23-257F8.
Genotype Determination:
ES Cell Line:
In situ histochemistry images of the central nervous system of this mouse can be found at GENSAT. BAC-transgenic images of the central nervous system at various ages of this mouse can be found on the GENSAT project page.
Strain of Origin: FVB/N
Strain genetic background: FVB/N-Crl:CD1(ICR)
Strain Development: A modified BAC containing cre under control of the gene specific promoter was injected into pronuclei of FVB/N fertilized oocytes. Hemizygous progeny were mated to Crl:CD1(ICR) each generation thereafter.
Suggested Control Mice: Wild-type littermates

In general, GENSAT BAC transgenic mouse lines should be utilized in the hemizygous state. Breeding of the BAC transgene to a homozygous state carries an increased risk of generating an unwanted phenotype for two reasons. First, the transgene inserts at random into the genome. Breeding the transgene to homozygosity results in mice that carry this insertion on both chromosomes, increasing the probability that the insertion will result in an observable phenotype. Second, BAC transgenes may carry passenger genes that are also expressed from the BAC vector. Breeding to homozygosity doubles the number of these genes carried in the transgenic mouse, increasing the possibility that a phenotype will result as a consequence of increased gene dosage. In our experience, observable phenotypes are rare in BAC transgenic mice when carried in the hemizygous state.
Mice recovered from a cryo-archive will have health surveillance performed on recipient females. Health reports will be provided prior to shipment. If you require additional health status information, please email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Do I Need To Redo My Match Portrait?
For some reason, most of the ladies that appear in my "matches" section are well outside of my age range. It's somewhat disappointing to check my new matches only to find out that the vast majority are out of my range.
Is there something I need to change in my match protrait to stop this from happening? Do I need to re-submit an age range or something? (It's been so long since I filled out the match protrait -- April 2012 -- that I can't remember if CM even asked for an age range in there.)
Thanks for any help and God bless,
P.S.: How does one go about changing their match portrait if they need to? I don't see an option to do so...

Strawbery Banke Museum to expand visitors center
Sunday, February 10, 2013
Portsmouth — The Strawbery Banke Museum Board of Trustees, at its meeting this week, enthusiastically accepted the offer of the chairman of the board to expand the museum's Tyco Visitors Center, in response to the heavy demand on the museum's visitor services during events at the end of the 2012 season and the general increase in attendance overall, which is up 8.5 percent.
This generous gift will ensure that funds continue to be available for the education programs of the museum, ongoing restoration projects like the Heritage house Program and special projects. The work on the Visitors Center will include an expansion of the Muriel Gurdon Seabury Howells Lecture Hall and the relocation of the Museum Store to a more visible space on the Museum grounds bordering Court Street. If HDC and other reviews and factors permit, the project will begin as soon as possible in order to be completed before heavy summer demand begins.
Strawbery Banke is now preparing for the 2013 season and the May 1 opening. Lectures, winter vacation camp and other events are posted on the Museum's website calendar. For information on the 2013 calendar, visit www.strawberybanke.org

There are missing compilers in some graphs. Worst example in the timed compilation of "custom".
I hereby present the final results from my compiler death match comparisons. Based on the experiences obtained during the generation of this dataset, I have decided to present it sorted and merged per optimization setting. If people are interested, I can also add merges of the data sorted per compiler (comparing different settings, I already have such data for PCC and Clang).
All the comparisons are now finished, with the exception of "Custom" that upon request still can be changed further.
DeathMatch round: Default
DeathMatch round: O2
DeathMatch round: O3
DeathMatch round: Os
DeathMatch round: Custom
There are missing compilers in some graphs. Worst example in the timed compilation of "custom".
For Custom, I have only had requests for specific settings of GCC, ICC, Open64 and the flags I got as a tip from the PCC developer. PCC and TCC can not be included in the -O tests since they do not have those options (yet).
What I mean is, for example the "Timed Apache Compilation" only lists GCC and ICC. But later on, in the "Apache Benchmark", it also lists Open64 and PCC.
So from that one wonders how it's possible to do the "Apache Benchmark" with Open64 and PCC if those compilers weren't able to actually build Apache? (Since they're missing from the "Timed Apache Compilation" bench.)
Ohhh, i like custom!
Then gcc suddenly wins it all again. Look at the apache static page benchmark. With custom it gets a whopping 4117 requests per second! In your benchmarks i've never seen a higher number then that. I do wonder why open64 dropped... it seems to decrease performance with those flags.
in fact, gcc seems to win (nearly) all with those flags which leads me to thing that the CO: CFLAGS has something odd in it since open64 can perform better at just -o2 ..
Actually only TCC seems to get higher... I wonder what TCC is doing
I found this by accident, but could you try adding this to the CG CFLAGS: -mfpmath=sse or even -mfpmath=both ... http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4....4-Options.html
Thanks again for the benchmarks. The graphs are prettier now.
wow! I agree, GCC with custom flags rocks!!
GCC apache (request per second)
custom: 4117
near 90% performance improvement ??
custom: 2105
In general, It seems that GCC performs very well, I have made a few tests by my own of GCC vs ICC and I have found similar results, the only cases where ICC seems to really outperform GCC is on multi-threaded applications like mplayer-mt or c-ray-mt.

|Someone needs to be fired, and Bob Apodaca is an easy choice.
Read blogs, read newspaper articles, listen to the radio and the talk is how, despite the horrible showing from the team, Rockies fans continue to show up at a rate of 30,000 plus per game.
Those who really want change at 20th & Blake insist that in order anything to be different, the owners of the Rockies must feel the pain in their wallet. They believe that only the loss of revenue will light a fire under the seat of the owners to make change happen. Those fans are disappointed because the seats continue to be filled up.
The reality, however, is that attendance is based on the number of tickets sold, not the actual number of people at the game. A large number of those tickets are purchased by corporations as giveaways. Another large segment are season ticket holders and mini-plans. Those tickets are being counted, regardless if the person actually shows up or not.
Everyone wonders why the fans continue to pour through the gates at Coors Field, despite the team. Well, the answer is simple. Many of the tickets were purchased long ago.
With a team that is destined to lose 90 games or more during a season that was billed as the "Year of the Fan", the Rockies will reap the consequences of their poor play on the field in 2013.
Imagine how season ticket holders feel? They invest hard-earned dollars into season seats and they are rewarded with bad baseball. On top of bad baseball, they are told that nothing is going to be done to fix what is going on. They are told that status-quo is just fine. The fans watch as the "ace" of the club tips his hat to the crowd in complete arrogance after watching his ERA rise to 6.91.
Wait until the corporations owning season tickets can't find takers for their tickets. Wait until they can't even give them away to their own employees because the receiver of the tickets doesn't feel that it is worth the gas in their car that it would take to get to the game.
When that starts to happen, the cancellations will being.
The Rockies may be well aware of what they are about to encounter. They may realize that they are going to take a dip in ticket sales in 2013. However, they either aren't fazed by it, or simply don't care.
If they wanted to save face, they would admit that it is time for changes. It is time to show fans and the baseball industry that the Rockies do not stand for losing. It is time for them to do something drastic to make paying fans feel like the losses hurt the front office as much as they rip the heart out of those who are paying good money to watch the team.
During the Rockies May stumble, the fans outcry for a firing was largely emotion based. The fans had watched their team play well enough in April to convince them that they had a chance. They were missing some starting pitching, but the young pitchers showed signs of turning the corner. Then May hit and the ship started sinking. Fans demanded someone pay the price, but owner Dick Monfort stumbled and bumbled his way to saying that nothing was going to change.
Then came Memorial Day. As the Houston Astros rolled into town, the Rockies looked like champions. They took six games out of seven at home and were climbing back to respectability. It was easy to forget the horrid moves from Jim Tracy, the lack of talent in the farm system left depleted by Dan O'Dowd's drafting failures and the poor pitching performances due at least in some part to Bob Apodaca's failures.
This time, as the Rockies dropped their seventh straight game on Wednesday, the call for change is less emotion and more logic.
The Rockies are on pace to have the worst ERA from their starting pitchers in history. That isn't Rockies history, that is Major League Baseball history. No starter in the rotation has an ERA under 5.00. That isn't just at Coors Field, that is everywhere. While the offense continues to put up seven runs, eight runs, six runs night-in and night-out, the team continues to lose.
Imagine going to work everyday and being the worst person to ever do that job. Imagine being in charge of a group of people who were on pace to perform the absolute worst of any group to do that exact same task in the history of the business. The job wouldn't last long.
However, pitching coach Bob Apodaca takes very little heat. His underlings are on pace to be the absolute worst in the great history of baseball. That is pretty tough to do. Does the talent in the starting rotation suggest that they are the least talented in the history of the game? The answer to that is a simple no. Not even close.
If the pitchers aren't listening to Apodaca, it is time to fire him. If the pitcher's are listening to Apodaca, it is time to fire him.
Of course, the failures of this team go far beyond Apodaca's failures. At this point, it can only be explained as a disease that is spreading throughout the core of the franchise. However, fighting that off has to start somewhere. If Tracy is immune this season due to his handshake agreement, then Apodaca must go.
It isn't an emotional reaction from fans anymore. It is simple logic. Something has to change. The talent on this team might not be World Series caliber, but it certainly isn't 100 lose caliber either.
Something has to change. Someone in this front office has to be getting upset. They have to be more mad about the losses than the fans are. They have to decide that it is time to get things back on the right track. It has to happen soon, or the Rockies are going to watch their season ticket holders find other things to spend their money on in 2013.

The driver is 260.19.29 not .26
Phoronix: NVIDIA 260.19.26 Linux Driver Released
Two weeks after NVIDIA had put out their unannounced 260.19.21 Linux driver, they have returned to the web and have officially released the NVIDIA 260.19.26 graphics driver for Linux x86/x86_64 along with Solaris and FreeBSD operating systems...
Still no SLI or overclocking support for Fermi cards, weak...
Soot, I was struggling between a HD 6950 and GTX 570, now HD 6950 is out and it's driver looks like to be eons to go and 570's driver is right here! Gonna buy the 570 soon as xmas treat!
The unannounced driver was 260.19.26, not 260.19.21.
While it's good to have it on Linux, maybe Nvidia should change their priority list a little and first bring the customers what they ask for and then the extras...
Just run 3dmark11 with wine

Bay & Bow Window
Introducing the Hurd Eco System™
The Ecological, Economical way to fine-tune your windows for optimal performance. The Hurd Eco System gives you more glazing options than other window companies, so you can choose exactly the right performance glass for your exact weather conditions.
- Improve energy efficiency & cut your energy bills.
- Capture the sun's heat, or reflect it. You can also reduce outside noise, block the sun's damaging UV rays, enhance your privacy, or even resist the wrath of a hurricane.
One of the most energy-efficient glazings available. Introducing the next great advancement in windows: Hurd Ultra-R. It utilizes advanced, coated films suspended inside a premium low-E unit to create as many as four super-insulating, gas-filled cavities. Ultra-R glazing achieves some of the highest center of glass insulation values in the window industry—from an impressive R-6 COG for our standard single film, argon-filled unit, all the way to an unprecedented R-20 COG for our custom triple film, krypton-filled techno-wonder. Ultra-R glazing uses Heat Mirror technology, invented at MIT. Popular Science magazine included it on its list of "The Top 100 Inventions Of The Millennium."
Fade Protection: Very Best
Insulation Value: Very Best
Noise Control: Better
Solar Heat Gain Control: Very Best
Super Sun Blocker
With an amazing triple layer of silver Super Sun Blocker glazing delivers an ideal balance of thermal performance, solar control, 95% UV protection and high visibility.
Fade Protection: Best
Insulation Value: Better
Solar Heat Gain Control: Best
Low-E 366
Cardinal's Low-E 366 is nearly identical to Super Sun Blocker in technology and performance. However, Super Sun Blocker is significantly more affordable.
Our Low-E 366 is available in 3 versions: standard; Low-E 366 with Preserve® protective film (it peels off after installation so all the splattered paint and construction dirt peel off too); and Low-E 366 with Preserve and Neat® (an ultra-smooth exterior coating that harnesses UV rays to loosen dirt so water can rinse it away almost spotlessly).
Super Sun Blocker With IS-15 Coating
To meet the 2013 Energy Star® standards, we start with all the attributes of triple silver Super Sun Blocker, then add ClimaGuard IS-15. IS-15 is a coating specifically designed to help you achieve a superior R-5 insulation value on many windows without the need for triple glazing.
The IS-15 coating is applied to the interior (room-side) surface of the dual pane IG unit, resulting in improved thermal performance and lower heating costs. Because the coating reflects heat back into the room, the room-side pane of glass will be slightly colder in winter, causing a higher potential for condensation problems.
Fade Protection: Best
Insulation Value: Best
Solar Heat Gain Control: Best
Passive Solar Low-E 80/70
Hurd's new Passive Solar Low-E 8070 glazing has a very high (0.69) solar heat gain coefficient. That means it's ideal for capturing the sun's heat in colder climates and reducing your winter heating bills. It also has a superior insulation value (R-3.8) to block out the cold and keep in the heat.
Fade Protection: Good
Insulation Value: Good
Solar Heat Gain Control: Very Best
Triple Pane Low-E
For the superior thermal performance of triple pane windows, specify our energy-efficient Triple Pane Low-E glazing. Choose one or two surfaces of low-E coating, for improved insulation values, reduced solar heat gain, and protection from harmful UV rays.
Fade Protection: Best
Insulation Value: Best
Solar Heat Gain Control: Better
Dual Pane Low-E
Insulated for improved energy efficiency. Single surface Low-E coating to reduce solar heat gain and block UV rays.
Fade Protection: Better
Insulation Value: Better
Solar Heat Gain Control: Better
Insulated Glass
For moderate climates, our Insulated Glass may deliver the performance you're looking for.
Fade Protection: Low
Insulation Value: Fair
Solar Heat Gain Control: Fair
Sound Control
Our Sound Control glazing reduces outside noise by as much as 50% while also blocking 99% of harmful UV rays. Since it's laminated, it also provides important shatter resistance to reduce the risk of injury from broken glass. It's available as a dual pane insulated IG or as a single pane non-insulated glass.
Fade Protection: Very Best
Noise Control: Very Best
Shatter Resistance: Very Best
Hurd Simulated Divided Lites
Our simulated divided lites give you the classic appeal of traditional true divided lites, but without the energy loss caused by individual glass panes. Matching extruded aluminum or all-wood outside, natural wood inside, and optional spacers between the glass.
Grilles in Airspace
This is the easiest way to achieve the divided lite look. We actually seal the grille between the panes of glass. So you get the visual appeal you want without the grille ever getting in your way.
Grilles in airspace come in your choice of profiles: 11/16" or 1" contour or 5/8" flat. Two-tone grilles also available.
Grille Configurations
Warm Every Room With the Natural Beauty of Wood.
In a perfect world, your windows would match your cabinets perfectly. So, whether it's your den or your kitchen, or throughout the whole house, Hurd lets you choose from nine beautiful woods, or any other workable species, for your windows, patio doors and interior trim.
A Spotless Factory Finish
Nothing beats a factory finish performed with state-of-the-art equipment under rigorously controlled, ultra-clean conditions. Hurd gives you two premium options:
Ultra Stain
Ultra Stain is an advanced, seven-step process that brings out all the beauty of your wood interior.
- Extreme durability.
- Resists scratching & marring.
- Advanced protection against moisture.
Ultra Coat
Ultra Coat uses a unique, specially formulated, two-part catalyzed polyurethane paint. It's the white interior paint that's so durable, it could be used outdoors.
- Extreme durability.
- Resists scratching & marring.
- Advanced protection against moisture.

We have added several options in the corresponding game menu. I'll talk only of novelties compared to the previous Paradox France / Ageod game (which is Rise of Prussia), and let veterans of our game system answer questions if need be about previously implemented options.
As you can see from the screenshot, we have added 4 options. They are all aimed toward providing a different game experience, and they try to achieve one of the Holy Grail of gaming, which is to please 2 broad categories of players! As they are options, if they fail to achieve this no small feat, no big loss either!
Extended Force Pool:
OFF means you are playing with the historical allowance in recruitable military units.
ON means you are playing with a +50% to +200% allowance in recruitable military units.
One thing to understand, is that you have a pool of recruitable units for each nation. You just can't decide to recruit 50 guard units, because you have a fetish on them . With this option, you get much more freedom here, at the expense of historical accuracy. But hey, this is your game too and you enjoy it (mostly hehe) as you wish! Historical accurary is not there to annoy you, it is there to have the game runs somehow along historical lines, so be advised that the use of this option can make the game diverges significantly from reality. Just imagine what the US could do if from the start they can decide to conscript massively people and form up a lot of Infantry Corps, then send them on rampage on Canada. Fun? Yes perhaps, historically plausible? Allow us to doubt here.
Extended Structure pool:
It works as with the units pool. If you augment your allowance by 50 to 200%, then instead of being able to build 6 extra coal mines as Great Britain, you will perhaps be able to build 22. No, I don't fail at this basic math test This is just that all countries have already on map structures, and they are factored in the pool. So if you have 2 structures on map, 6 available, your maximum pool is 8. And 8 times 3 makes ... 24.
(awesome, I managed to explain a game rule before game release!)
Extended Spheres of Influence:
The SOI concept, in PON is only about colonial regions. Basically all colonial regions in the world, for each country, are rated from -5 to +5. -5 means that if you colonize the region, you lose 5 prestige per turn. +5 ... well you guessed! Why this constraint is there? Because again, PON tries to provide an historical game experience, and SOIs are there to orient players and AIs alike toward historical behavior. This is so that you don't see Austria colonize Siberia (can be fun though to have a New Tyrol colony there!). With Extended SOIs, all negatives SOIs become 0. This still orient players toward positive spheres of influence, but you'll be much more able (and the AI too) to colonize everywhere.
Last, but not least, the big gun. Extended Claims. Activating this option will change drastically the game. With extended claims you can acquire during a peace treaty any region that is adjacent to a region you own. Think concentric circles here. Yes... you can paint the world in your color if you are a warmonger. This is totally non historical behavior, as at this time (this is not world war II remember), most countries did not seek to occupy the national regions of others countries. There was no chance for example that Germany could have been persuaded to occupy Russian territories up to Moscow e.g.
Precisions though, we are talking here of 'metropolitan' territories. All countries are able to occupy as they wish (if they succeed in war or crisis) all colonial regions and all regions they have a claim on.

Black Bean and Roasted Pepper Soup
I still had a bunch of roasted red peppers in my freezer and I was thinking that it would be nice to get another hearty soup in before the weather warmed up too much more. I had been enjoying bean soups over the winter and I thought that a black bean and roasted pepper soup would be nice. Continuing on with the roasted peppers theme I added some roasted poblano peppers for their amazing flavour and a bit of heat. For even more heat and a bit of smokiness I threw in some chipotle chili powder. To finish of the base of the soup I added some diced tomatoes and some herbs and spices. I like the sweetness that corn adds to spicy Texmex dishes and corn goes well with the creamy black beans so I threw some in as well. The black bean and roasted pepper soup came together quickly and easily and it tasted great! I really enjoyed the flavour combinations and the spicy kick. I garnished the soup with some avocado, sour cream and cilantro.
Black Bean and Roasted Pepper Soup(makes 4+ servings)
Printable Recipe
1 tablespoon oil
1 onion (chopped)
2 cloves garlic (chopped)
1 tablespoon chipotle chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin (toasted and ground)
2 (19 ounce) cans black beans (rinsed and drained)
1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 cup chicken broth or chicken stock or vegetable broth
3 roasted red peppers (chopped)
3 roasted poblano chilies (chopped)
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1 cup corn
1 lime (juice)
salt and pepper to taste
1. Heat the oil in a pan.
2. Add the onions and saute until tender, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Add the garlic, chili powder and cumin and saute until fragrant, about a minute.
4. Add the beans, tomatoes, chicken stock, poblano chilies, red peppers and oregano and simmer for 20-30 minutes.
5. Remove from heat and stir in the corn.
6. Use an immersion blender to puree some or all of the soup depending on the texture that you prefer.

I have a mathematics background but also consider career in some form of software development. In particular I'm interested in finding out what sort of industries are most likely to have more algorithm development/mathematical and logical problem solving slant rather than pure application development etc.
Obviously, I'm assuming that some subset of the canonical data structures and associated algorithms (trees, lists, hash tables, sets, maps with search, insert, traversals etc.) are mostly going to be present in software development. However, where am I more likely to encounter problems of more discrete maths nature (combinatorial, graph theory, sets, strings, ...) explicitly or more likely in disguise.
Any pointers much appreciated (including possible open source projects that I could use for my further search for applications and also possibly contribute to).

Nowhere in GNOME does it say you *must* change the settings. Point?
Most people I noticed tend to fixate themselves on KDE's superior customization options. That really gets you nowhere. There are far more interesting features that KDE has over GNOME in the desktop area.

Fedora patched GDM to allow this functionality. If a KDM developer finds this useful she can do the same, thus giving birth to a de facto standard. If other developers become interested, this can be turned into a real standard.
Any other approach is just bollocks, as have been proven time and time again. The Plymouth hook is there, if you wish to see this in KDM ping a developer or get coding.
- Red Hat focus is on GNOME, so they develop everything in GNOME before;
- if a Red Hat employee or a volunteer wants to get things integrated they are free and welcome to do it. But that's not a prerequisite to ship a new software.
Think of PolicyKit 1, David Zeuthen (Red Hat employee) and Dario Freddi (KDE volunteer). It works like this for a lot of other things, and it applies to Ubuntu / Kubuntu to some extent too.

Celtics outlast Nuggets in 3 OTs
Monday, February 11, 2013
BOSTON (AP) — The Boston Celtics relied on their veterans to help them win the matchup of the NBA's two hottest teams.
Terry hit a 3-pointer with 1:33 remaining in the third overtime to put the Celtics ahead 116-113.
With Denver leading 105-104 in the second overtime, Lawson hit another jumper to put the Nuggets up 107-104 with 18.9 seconds remaining.
Gallinari, who averages 20 points per game to lead Denver, was held to three points in the first half on 1-of-6 shooting as the Nuggets trailed 50-46 at the break.

The veteran rockers - comprising Sir Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, both 66, Charlie Watts, 69, and Ronnie Wood, 63 - will reportedly undertake a series of concerts at venues around the world next year and then plan to call time on their epic career.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "They're likely to perform in stadiums. It's almost certainly the last full-scale world tour.
"The band realise that age is creeping up on them. They want to bow out on top of their game, and not short-change their fans."

and innovation from Canonical!
C'mon, guys! You are focusing too much on the fluff.
Please, bring first the distribution to an almost-zarro-bugs state. And then spend your time in official color schemes, names and so on!
Phoronix: Ubuntu GNOME Is Now An Official Ubuntu Flavor
The Ubuntu Tech Board approved last week that Ubuntu GNOME is now an official flavor/derivative of Ubuntu Linux...
and innovation from Canonical!
C'mon, guys! You are focusing too much on the fluff.
Please, bring first the distribution to an almost-zarro-bugs state. And then spend your time in official color schemes, names and so on!
So the announcement is: Canonical is not even doing the GNOME distro any more. And they already kicked the KDE distro 1 year ago.
This doesn't mean it's a bad thing. Maybe it's a good one. But why announcing it that "subtle" way?
Is that a marketing move not to give a bad impression on the potential shareholders and investors?
So im wondering.... will those official spins as LXDE, KDE, GNOME and XFCE run via XMir for 13.10? Or what's the long term plan?
GNOME-shell and KWin have (more or less) working Wayland ports. I don't know about xfce and lxde. But there is no Mir port of any window manager - maybe except Compiz. While XFCE and LXDE and even KDE might use Compiz, it won't help Gnome-Shell at all due to it's integrated nature.
LXDE, KDE, GNOME and XFCE are all "external projects" to Ubuntu now. There's no Canonical direct involvement any more (but the infrastructure to build and distribute them, afaiu).
Next Ubuntu Desktop will be, presumably, based on something completely (really?) different from the above desktops environments.
I don't really see the point, my obvious fault.
Developing a brand new WORKING display server requires huge efforts and lots of technology knowledge.
For which pros? Having it working on tablets, TVs and smartphones (on top of an Android-like OS)?
And what about all those GUI applications we all like? How long will it take them to do the port?
I have one word for that: OVERKILLING.
Especially because there's already a project, called Firefox OS, which has overlapping aims with the possible Canonical projects.
With a twist. You need only to port a single application to a new display server: the firefox browser (or Gecko+Gaia stack).
But, of course, I am sure I'm badly wrong and have failed to catch the main points in that product marketing move by Canonical.

If they are going to include the stand-alone Xorg in 13.10 and forth...Originally Posted by darkxst
I can hardly wait to see, how things are going to evolve...
My last information is, that this port uses the older API and needs some love to be ported to wayland 1.0. In this IRC log (http://pastebin.com/KjRm3be1) , it was mentioned, the port was revived.
As for kwin, AFAIK the maintainer himself is doing the port. Here is a page informing you how to run it:
There is a kwin-wayland branch mentioned, however I can't find it on http://quickgit.kde.org/. So I assume it already went mainline?

IRS opening 2013 tax filing season on Jan. 30
Tuesday, January 15, 2013
WASHINGTON — Following the January tax law changes made by Congress under the American Taxpayer Relief Act (ATRA), the Internal Revenue Service announced it plans to open the 2013 filing season and begin processing individual income tax returns on Jan. 30.
"We have worked hard to open tax season as soon as possible," IRS Acting Commissioner Steven T. Miller said. "This date ensures we have the time we need to update and test our processing systems."
-- Who Can File Starting Jan. 30?
As part of this effort, the IRS will be working closely with the tax software industry and tax professional community to minimize delays and ensure as smooth a tax season as possible under the circumstances.
