You're signed on to South Park through 2008. Do you worry about running out of ideas?
MS: When we have one of those hard weeks, I'm like, Oh, my God, we have forty-two more of these things to do, and we can't think of one goddamn idea for this scene right here. But I don't worry about it too much.
The two of you still write, direct, and voice every episode of South Park. Did you ever think of handing it over to other writers and just collecting a paycheck—like the creators of The Simpsons do?
TP: In this town, you get your successful show and then you're supposed to move on. And there were a couple of years where we almost did move on to bigger things. But I think the reason it's still around is that we deeply care about it and don't let anyone mess it up. When we started the show, we knew how to do crazy funny stuff, but we didn't know how to write. And to watch how we've sort of grown up as writers, that's the fun part.
MS: After South Park had run for three or four years, everyone told us, "You cut your teeth here, now go to network and make some fucking money. Go do your King of the Hill." So we met with all the networks. And the meetings were pretty funny. Every place we go, they're like, You guys are great; you can do whatever you want here. And we're like, Not really, right? And they're like, Well, no, not really, but… So we said, "Let's stick with South Park. It's our baby, it's what got us here, we make pretty sweet money, and we can do whatever we want." We were the tortoise in that race. Now we get to make sellout money and we don't feel like we've totally sold out.

Validate your outgoing SWIFT messages. Use the Swift Message Validator component to validate and construct outgoing SWIFT messages before sending them to the Swift network. No longer is it necessary to know the countless and very complex SWIFT validation rules. Just provide the values and the message type you want to build and it will validate and construct the formatted message. It will check if your values comply with all the SWIFT rules for this message type and highlight any errors.
What's new in Swift Message Validator V6.5?
SWIFT Message Validator contains a collection of objects and methods that validate and construct outgoing SWIFT messages before sending them to the SWIFT network. No longer is it necessary to know the countless and very complex SWIFT validation rules. Just provide the values and the message type you want to build and it will validate and construct the formatted message. It will check if your values comply with all the SWIFT rules for this message type and highlight any errors.
Use this component to develop a full S.W.I.F.T. (Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication) message handling application in a fraction of the time and effort normally required.
SMV (SWIFT Message Validator) is available for MT categories 1xx,2xx,3xx, 4xx,5xx, 7xx and 9xx and is compliant with the latest SWIFT standards release guide.
Once validated, a compliant SWIFT message is produced that can be forward to the SWIFT network. It is a Java bean that can be used on the client or the server. Its footprint is small and runs very fast.
SWIFT Message Validator is an add-on to SWIFT Message Processor (Datamation's product for SWIFT message parsing). Users that have purchased SWIFT Message Processor V4.0 or later can add this product to gain the benefit of validations for the outgoing messages. No significant changes to their existing code will be required.
You can get either one or all of the SWIFT Message Validator versions, depending on the message types you need to validate.
Background - All SWIFT MT messages conform to a defined block structure. Each block is sub-divided into a number of tags followed by their values.
Each tag hosts particular information (e.g. Message date, Bank Name, Beneficiary name etc) as they are defined in the SWIFT user handbook. Each tag may have one or more lines of information and may exist (one or more times) or not in a block depending on the message type. Tags are either mandatory or optional. They have also specific size and format. They can contain alphanumeric or other special characters or a combination of both. There are also interrelations between tags. Some tags can exist only if others exist, or they can't coexist with others.
All these are enforced by rules that the SWIFT network checks for. There are several rules (both syntax and semantics) that a message must comply with in order to be accepted and transferred within the SWIFT network. That is where you need the SWIFT Message Validator component to do all these validations and formatting for you.
Technical Description - SWIFT Message Validator has a single method encapsulating all the functionality required to validate and build a SWIFT compliant message. Using this component you do not have to call the SWIFT Message Processor to build a message. SWIFT Message Validator does it for you.
The ValidateMsg method takes as its input a SwiftMessage Object (such as those created by SWIFT Message Processor) that has been manually constructed by the programmer, performs the SWIFT validations and returns the error message (if message is incorrect) or the SWIFT message (if message is correct).
For messages that include repetitive sequences, use the RepSeq object to set the message tags.
SWIFT Message Validator is compliant with the latest standards release guide.

You both said YES! The feeling is mutual. Now the rest is up to you! Say Hi and get the conversation started.
I'm a romantic at heart, and maybe a little old fashioned. I still open doors for ladies and I'll walk to the front door to ring the bell when I pick you up. I don't believe in waiting 3 days to call you after a date if we had a great time, i don't play that game. I'll probably text you on my drive home. I enjoy doing lots of things: going to the movies, a good meal, mini golf, the beach, a low key bar or lounge, and a good book are among the top of my list. Anything out doors is always a lot of fun! I like to be the big spoon, and on very rare occasions perhaps even the little spoon. Maybe i shouldn't have written that?!? lol
Im a second year resident at a hospital here in columbusi. i know right what a cliche... the jewish doctor... lol. My life is hectic right now, but at times it can be pretty mellow. I try to keep in touch with my friends and family even when I'm super busy because they are the most important things to me in the world.
I'd like to meet a sweet, down to earth, and genuine girl. Someone who enjoys the same things I do and someone I really connect with. Someone to watch re-runs of Dawnson's Creek with (Team Dawson!). Some of my favorite shows are TrueBlood, Game of Thrones,, Dancing with the stars, don't trust the B in apt 23, and new girl. On Saturdays, the best show to watch is the Penn State Nittany Lions (Class of '05), and if you're a Nittany Lion as well then thats just a huge plus! Now i realize i am moving into the heart of buckeye nation so flying the PSU flag may not be the smartest thing to do. However, i wouldnt mind watching the games with an OSU fan and hopefully you could tolerate a PSU fan sitting next to you!
Ummmm, I can't think of much else to write but there is a lot more to tell.. hopefully this little glimpse into who I am has left you wanting to find out more! Bottom lines is I'm here to meet my future wife. I realize that's a bold statement but i figure it's important to write. Oh and I'm Seth by the way!

text: /> And last season's Michigan at Ohio State game had average tickets going for more than $1,200. OU-Texas tickets usually go for more than $400. But since TicketsNow started tracking college football ticket sales five years ago, OU-Miami is one of the highest-selling tickets in Norman. The average ticket for OU-UCLA in 2003 went for $265. In 2004, OU-Nebraska tickets went on average for $252. But OU spokesman Kenny Mossman said the school's ticket managers have indicated that demand for Miami is rivaled only by the 2000 Nebraska showdown, when both Big 12 rivals entered the game undefeated. Then, the stadium had about 9,000 fewer seats, suggesting that this is the biggest home game for ticket sales since coach Bob Stoops arrived in 1999. "You always want it to be big," said Daniel, who expects scalpers to make at least twice as much Saturday than in last weekend's season opener against North Texas. "Is OU-Miami big? "Absolutely."

IAEA's ElBaradei bows out with prayer of St. Francis
(Photo: ElBaradei addresses IAEA board of governors, 27 Nov 2009/Herwig Prammer)
Mohamed ElBaradei, a Muslim from Egypt, has finished his 12-year term as director-general of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) quoting one of Christianity's most popular prayers. In a short meeting at IAEA headquarters in Vienna on Friday, the 2005 Nobel Peace Prize laureate said that "the moment of departure is an opportunity to reflect upon a journey of joy, challenges, pleasure and fulfilment." At the end of his career at the IAEA, which began in 1984 as a legal adviser, the world was "finally returning to its senses. People are speaking of a world free of nuclear weapons, of one human family and of a world that lifts people out of poverty."
Italian Muslims approve pope's encyclical Caritas in Veritate
When Pope Benedict issued his encyclical Caritas in Veritate (Love in Truth) in July, he addressed it to "the bishops, priests and deacons, men and women religious, the lay faithful and all people of good will". That list puts Catholics first, but it gets around to a wider audience by the end. Maybe because of that sequence, most of the discussion about the document has been in Catholic circles.
U.S. sees "mixed picture" on world religious freedom
(Photo: CHristians pray during an anti-North Korea and pro-U.S. protest in Seoul, 3 Oct 2007/Han Jae-Ho)
The United States sees a mixed picture on world religious freedom, with progress in interfaith dialogue weighed against government repression and sectarian strife in many countries. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Monday unveiled the latest State Department report on global religious freedom, which particularly criticized Iran and North Korea among other countries for harsh limits on religious expression.
Sarkozy explains French laïcité to visiting Catholic bishops
French President Nicolas Sarkozy took time out from a busy schedule on Friday to welcome 18 Catholic cardinals, archbishops and bishops from across Europe into the Elysée Palace for a short talk about laïcité. The prelates were in Paris for an annual session of the Council of European Episcopal Conferences (CCEE), a Swiss-based body that brings together all those bishops' conferences. Among the topics at the three-day conference are relations between church and state in Europe, so it was natural that they'd take the opportunity to learn more about France's trademark secular system.

My apologies for no video this week on the Boob Tube Roundup. The logic board on my 7th Macbook melt-defected once more and I lost my will to video edit for a few days. They are good looking machines though, aren't they?
To overcompensate, as I always do, let's take a look at the bare boobtastic on the last two weeks of Master of Sex, including another topless exposure party from show star, Lizzy Caplan. Lizzy has shown a penchant for flashing her particularly part pair onscreen of late. Nice penchant, if I may say so. Throw in a couple of week's fine funbag work from Helene York and Rose McLever, and if you're not watching this show, you need to explain to my why not. Or, you know, just lie and say you are and check out the best chest parts right here. The ends always justifies the means. Enjoy.

Japan emperor to pay tribute to WW2 dead on Saipan
By Linda Sieg
SAIPAN (Reuters) – Japanese Emperor Akihito headed for thesite of one of World War II's most decisive battles on Mondayto pay tribute to those who died in a conflict that stillhaunts Tokyo's ties with Asian neighbors, 60 years after itsend.
The journey to the U.S. territory of Saipan — the first byAkihito outside Japan to mourn war dead — coincides with achill in Tokyo's ties with China and South Korea, where manyfeel Japan has not owned up to its wartime atrocities.
"Sixty-one years ago today, a fierce battle was still beingfought on this island. Our hearts ache when we think of thosepeople who fought at a place where there was no food, no water,and no medical treatment for the wounded," Akihito said inremarks before he and Empress Michiko left Tokyo.
Akihito attends annual ceremonies to mark the Aug. 15anniversary of the war's end, and in 1995 he went to Hiroshima,Nagasaki and Japan's southern island of Okinawa to mourn wardead.
"This time, on soil beyond our shores, we will once againmourn and pay tribute to all those who lost their lives in thewar and we will remember the difficult path the bereavedfamilies had to follow, and we wish to pray for world peace,"he said.
Japanese veterans and families of war dead — key supportgroups for Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi's ruling party –are pleased that Akihito, 71, son of the late Emperor Hirohitoin whose name their comrades fought and died, is making thejourney.
"Those who fought then were soldiers of the emperor, andthey and we who remain are happy that he is coming to comforttheir souls," said Seiichi Oike, 87, who was one of only about2,000 Japanese who survived the bloody 24-day Battle of Saipanin 1944.
Saipan, controlled by Japan after World War One andconsidered vital to Japan's homeland defense, was the site offierce fighting from June 15 to July 9, 1944.
U.S. forces wanted the island as a base from which its newB-29 bombers could strike Tokyo, about 2,000 km (1,200 miles)to the north.
Some 43,000 Japanese soldiers and 12,000 Japanese civiliansdied in more than three weeks of intense battle, according toJapanese figures, many committing suicide rather than surrenderin shame.
More than 5,000 Americans died in the battles for Saipanand nearby Tinian and the naval Battle of the Philippine Sea,along with some 900 native islanders, including infants andelderly.
Some natives of the island, where older people recall thedays of Japanese rule when they were taught to revere Hirohitoas a god, welcomed the royal visit. Others were lessenthusiastic.
"I think I'm indifferent," said Margarita Wonenberg, anative of Saipan whose father worked for his keep — but no pay– in sugarcane fields when the island was under Japan'scontrol.
"I think they're coming for their own purpose."
Japanese officials have stressed that Akihito, 71, andMichiko, 70, will mourn all those who lost their lives in thePacific conflict, whatever their nationality.
But it remains to be seen whether that message will getacross.
In a sign that history still rankles, Korean residents ofSaipan had asked that the emperor visit a memorial on theisland to their compatriots who lost their lives in the war.
"I don't think that Japan has been really, from what Iunderstand, accurate in their depiction of the war," saidWonenberg's husband, Barry, a 15-year resident of Saipan whoteaches at the local Northern Marianas College.
"I think that's what angers a lot of people — this notionthat they pasteurise it for their own people," he said.
The royal couple will visit memorials dedicated to Americanand local war dead as well as Japanese. Among the sites are tworocky heights, now known as Banzai Cliff and Suicide Cliff.
Following the ritual suicide of the Japanese commander, Lt.Gen. Yoshitsugu Saito, and a doomed assault by his remainingtroops, Japanese soldiers and civilians fled to the two cliffs,where many, women and children included, leapt to their deaths.
Japanese before the war had been taught a nationalistideology that made it a virtue to die for the sake of anemperor worshipped as a living god. Propaganda about certainrape and torture if taken prisoner by Americans was alsocommon.
"If you think of it now, it seems a mistake, but you can'tjudge them by the way things are now," said veteran Oike, whowas wounded and rescued by an American soldier.
The huge loss of life was repeated on Iwo Jima and Okinawathe next year and helped persuade the United States to dropatomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945,prompting Japan's unconditional surrender.
The planes carrying both bombs took off Tinian.

I love most Origins products, but don't like their scents and this is a major exception. It smells light and fresh, a bit like pink lemonade with a splash of grapefruit. This doesn't feel thick or heavy and absorbs really nicely into my skin. It is easy to smooth over my entire face without having to use too much product. It doesn't feel the least bit greasy either. When I wake up, my skin feels extra soft and looks youthful. All signs of dry patches are gone. If you are in need of extra moisture from time to time, this is definitely worth checking out. — 2 years, 4 months agoHeathRene | 274 reviews

Volute's sketchbook
Hello all,
I've been watching this forum for quite a while now and I've finally decided to start a sketchbook.
I've always loved to draw even though I haven't drawn much in my life. I'd really like to improve and I hope having this sketchbook will give me motivation to draw more. I'll try to post on a regular basis, the drawings I like as well as the ones I'm really not happy with.
I'll have to illustrate a Flash game very soon, so I need practice !
Comments, advices and crits are welcome
Thanks for watching.

Here are some sketches to start with. For the first two ones I used a photograph as ref.
I draw a lot of Space Marines these days for a project. I use 28mm Games Workshop miniatures as ref.
Here are more updates. Still drawing Space Marines from miniatures. I'm getting a little tired of them but I'd like to get them right. Legs and feet give me a lot of trouble, guns even more. It's never the right orientation nor the right shape.
For the drawing on the last image, I used a photograph of miniatures as ref.

I put the Space Marines aside for a while and struggled with some Bridgmans studies
January 24th, 2011 #4
Still working on Bridgmans.
I try to apply the 7 1/2 head division of the human figure in my drawings. It's very helpful as long as the figure stands upright. But when the attitude is more complex I get confused. Sometimes I'm not even sure where to make start and end the first head !
I'm quite unhappy with the drawings in the last image. There was always something wrong and they didn't even seemed to get better at all.
January 31st, 2011 #5
Here are some skeletons. In some drawings, I tried to apply a vertical symmetry to the ref, and in the last one I tried to draw the ref upside down. I read somewhere that it's a good exercice.
January 31st, 2011 #6
Nice work so far. I hope to see a fully drawn person soon; either way keep it up.

Drawings in image 2 are quite ugly. Tiny refs give me huge trouble !

what can i say? you're doing it absolutely right!!
keep up the studies, maybe vary your subjects a bit now and then or draw from life (it's the best way to understand forms)

Thanks NeonDuck, that's very encouraging !
For now, I try to stick with Bridgmans as much as I can. Following a book gives me some kind of focus and direction. Without that, I tend to lose motivation (happened before ). I'll switch to other subjects and try to draw from life when I'm more comfortable.
I just finished my A5 sketchbook. That's the first time I ever fill a sketchbook with drawings. Having this thread is great
Here are more drawings :
Image 2 : When I saw the ref I knew I wouldn't get it right. And it happened as expected : the figure came out way to large. I don't know exactly where such a distortion came from. Maybe the arm on the left. At least, the second drawing is better.
February 22nd, 2011 #10
More studies It's the chapter about balance.
February 23rd, 2011 #11
Thanks for your comment in my sketchbook, and i think I may "borrow" your idea to try drawing warhammer figures if that's ok - I'm sure my other half has a few lying around
Your studies are coming along well, I'm finding bridgeman to be pretty helpful too It may be good to vary what you do though, like NeonDuck suggested, just to stop yourself getting bored and bogged down in anatomy. Still lifes are always good or drawing people from life ( which i should do more of ) on a train, or bus, or in a public place like a mall or park maybe. Even try sketching family members if you can get them to sit still for long enough
All in all a good start. Keep up the hard work and motivation

@ Saffire Dragon : Glad you dropped a word on my sketchbook. Looking forward to seeing warhammer figures studies on yours
I listened to your advices and tried drawing something else for a change. Here is a praying mantis from a photo :
I did some memory and imaginations sketches after that.
Then I went back to Bridgmans studies but I decided to change my approach. Instead of trying so hard to make each drawing look exactly like the original, I gave myself 5 to 10 minutes for each studie. I hope it'll help me improve my tolerance to doing very ugly drawings so that I can try to draw more from imagination otherwise it's too depressing.
So here are some Bridgmans studies and some random doodles. It's mainly the chapter about rythm.
On the last one I tried to force myself to draw less unecessary lines.
Tried watercolors a bit. Last time I did it was when I was 9 or something
I also did a study of a MattiasA drawing but I guess it's not ok to post studies of other people' sketchbooks. Anyways, it was a lot of fun

Bridmans studies and imagination :
Penguins from photos, mostly.
More Bridgmans quick studies :
Photo studies and some details from imagination :
Photo studies. Not as bad as I thought it would be. The guitar neck is not a success though
March 7th, 2011 #14
I read some pages of the book "Keys to Drawing with Imagination" by Bert Dodson. I'm always stuck when it comes to drawing from imagination and so I found this book very inspirational. Plus the illustrations are great and funny. I tried to start applying some ideas from it.
Here a dish towel, two glasses from life and some kind of walrus I saw in the shape of the dish towel.
Bridgmans studies. I switched back to my 2B pencil as I wasn't so comfortable with the HB.
More Bridgmans studies, beginning of the chapter about shading. I also tried to draw my eyes.

@ Featheredface Thank you very much for the nice comm'
Here are some new drawing from last few days.
I started with some Bridgmans studies (still following the book). Then I read somewhere that trying to draw some stuff holding the pencil in the underhand position could be a good warm-up. So I tried. It's not very easy drawing like that, I have absolutely no precision and my hand is shaking a little bit, but it's surprisingly funny. I started by drawing some objects around me.
Then I drew some dalmatians using some photos from flickr for ref.
Some exercices from Bert Dodson's book. Still very inspiring. We learn some ways to doodle and transform the doodles into more elaborate drawings.
And the usual Bridmans studies...

Nice sketches.
I like how clean and fluid your lines are.

@ Clockberry : Thanks
Some new drawings...
1) Unfinished study of an eggplant. I'm not happy with it and I have absolutely no idea on how to make it look better.
My values studies are always very bad. My shadings always differ from one side of the studied object to the other and I'm reluctant to put pencil everywhere. Maybe I don't have the patience.
If you have any advice on this, I'll be more than happy to take it
2) Drawings from photos of warhammer figurines.
3) Drawings from random photos on flickr.
4) And the usual Bridgmans studies. I get closer and closer to the chapter about the head

Seriously, warhammer artwork is some of the greatest inspirational works to go after.
I like your style, lovely cute pinguin as well!
Try and do some battlescenes like those in the warhammer books, those can be really fun.

@ Urötskidoji : Thank you. Not sure I'm up to draw complex battlescenes right now, but I'll try someday
Here are more drawings from photos of warhammer figurines.
For the colored tyranide, I drew the outter contour first, then I drew the shapes inside. I thought it would come out very distorted and make no sense at all. Well, it doesn't look like the photo... but I'm not too unhappy with it.
Then I tried looser sketches, and obviously my fountain ink pen doesn't handle them so well. I had to switch to a black marker.
Those are with photo refs from flickr. It was my first real attempt at drawing fur.
And Bridgmans studies.

You're a very line oriented artist! It's beautiful, but I think it shows in a couple of your animal drawings that it can be restraining. I'd love to see you do some more animals from photos, and maybe try blocking in the form first rather than just drawing the contours.
I'd also like to see you try to do some texture. Maybe bark versus glass versus fabric. See if you can do them without hatching.
I love where this sketchbook is going. It's obvious you've developed a lot since the beginning, and your line is fantastic. Just don't let your love of it become crippling if you have to use texture or color.

@ autumncoloredmelodie : Thanks a lot for your com', glad to have your feedback You're right, I definitely need to practice more my texturing, but I lack the technique and didn't find good doc about it so far. As for colors, I'm still somewhat shy with them . I'll work on it.
Didn't have much time to draw these days.
First drawings are from photos of echidnas.
Then I did some pen handling practice exercices from Guptill's book.
There's this exercice where you have to draw waterdrops. You start from the top, draw the left side, then start from the top, draw the right side. How hard can it be ? Well, I didn't manage to draw a single one right. The curve of the second side is still either flattened or exagerated. Symmetry is hard ! It's very frustrating.

It's been a while since my last post, I've been busy lately because I'm working quite intensively on the developpement of a Flash game.
Here are some quick sketches of space marines, genestealers and zergs with ref I did these days :
I have to make sprites in pixel art for the Flash game. I've read a lot of tutorials about it but I have absolutely no practice.
Here is the base drawing I did for an alien. The game is a tactical with an isometric hexagonal grid, hence the 6 orientations :
This alien design is not very original, but I needed something simple that I could easily apprehend to start with.
And here's my try in pixel art for the first orientation :
Here's a second try. I prefer the colors of the first one.
And here's a little marine :

I prefer the first alien try too !
I'd prefered the colours of the marine to be less pastel tones !
Very nice sketches of warhammer, I might do some studies of my old eldar army !
Looking forward to your next update !

Thanks Shad- !
Here's another marine. The colors are less pastel but I'll rework them anyway because this purple is not a good choice.
I did 3 other orientations.
I struggled a lot with the back view. I was never satisfied because it always looked clumsy in the game. But I realised that it was not because of the sprite in itself but because its orientation did not match the orientation of the walls. But we need to keep the project moving so we'll keep the sprite this way for now.
All the orientations have a walk animation like this one :
Some drawings :
And some from imagination. I hardly ever draw from imagination, so it's not easy...

I made the profile view, and two attacks views :
The first attack view looks kinda awkward, but I've spent so much time on it, tried so different versions... The animation didn't work with a different position for the character.
Pixel art can be so frustrating sometimes. A pixels doesn't look good where it is, so you move it slightly to make it better... but it only makes it worst !
It's like a puzzle !
Here's a screen in-game. We didn't make the alien sprite the upper marine is shooting, we use it for the prototype until we have something of our own.

I think you improve all the time. Have you tried to draw people from life? If not, you should try. It is valuable lesson and you learn watch, understand, sketch, improvise.
I like your pen drawings more then pencil. Imho pen are more definite, you draw with confidence.
Keep going.

(D) msn06946 FRT82B. Control mosaic eye discs show low-level expression of msn-lacZ posterior to the MF. (E) msn06946 FRT82B scrib1. In scrib mutant clones, msn-lacZ is ectopically expressed in some patches of mutant tissue (arrow) and in some wild type cells bordering the mutant clones. (F) msn06946 FRT82B scrib1 UAS-bskDN. Expressing BskDN in scrib mutant clones completely abrogates the activation of msn-lacZ in the mutant clones, although msn-lacZ expressing cells are still sometimes observed in the wild-type tissue adjacent to the mutant tissue (arrow). (G) msn06946 FRT82B scrib1. In scrib mutant clones, TUNEL positive and msn-lacZ positive cells do not generally overlap, although occasional cells (arrow) express both markers.

Ectopic Crb disrupts cell morphology and induces JNK-dependent apoptosis and proliferation. eyFLP-induced MARCM clones (green). Grey scale is Elav (A, C, E), phalloidin to mark F-actin (B, D) and BrdU (F). A white bar marks the location of the MF. (A-B) FRT82B crb11A22. crb mutant clones show no defects in the pattern of differentiation in the eye disc (A) and no alterations to the normal columnar epithelial cell morphology (B). (C, D) UAS-crbwt2e; FRT82B. Crb-expressing clones are under-represented relative to the surrounding non-clonal tissue and mildly disrupt the normal pattern of photoreceptor differentiation (C) and the normal columnar cell morphology resulting in cells being excluded from the epithelium (D). (E, F) UAS-crbwt2e; FRT82B UAS-bskDN. Co-expression of BskDN with Crb disrupts the normal pattern of differentiation (E), and results in large clones of mutant cells that ectopically proliferate posterior to the MF (F).

Ectopic expression of activated aPKC disrupts cell morphology and results in ectopic cell proliferation. eyFLP-induced MARCM clones (green). Grey scale is Elav (A, B, E-G) and BrdU (C, D, H, I). Phalloidin marks F-actin in red (A, B, E-G). A white bar indicates the location of the MF. (A-D) FRT82B UAS-DaPKCΔN. Ectopic expression of aPKCΔN in clones results in reduced amounts of clonal tissue that is mostly excluded basally from the epithelium and does not express Elav (A, B) and does not noticeably over-proliferate (C-D), although any proliferative defects are likely to be masked by cell death. (E-I) FRT82B UAS-DaPKCΔN UAS-bskDN. The co-expression of BskDN with aPKCΔN rescues the small clone phenotype of aPKCΔN clones alone and most of the mutant tissue has aberrant cell morphology and is extruded basally to form large masses of undifferentiated tissue beneath the dorsal and ventral sides of the eye disc epithelium (E-G). The mutant cells ectopically proliferate posterior to the MF, but not within the MF, in both apical and basal sections (H, I).

JNKDN represses scrib1 + RasACT tumour overgrowth and invasion. Pairs of larval eye/antennal imaginal discs attached to brain lobes (bl) containing eyFLP-induced MARCM clones (green) at day 5 (A, B, F, G), day 7 (C, D) and day 8 (E). Grey scale is Elav (A, F). Red is phalloidin to mark F-actin. (A-B) UAS-dRas1V12; FRT82B. RasACT-expressing clones do not massively overgrow and mutant cells are not observed between the brain lobes. Note the F-actin rich cables (arrows) extending from between the eye/antennal disc to the region between the brain lobes. (C-D) UAS-dRas1V12; FRT82B scrib1. scrib1 + RasACT tumours massively overgrow by day 7 and tumour cells appear to migrate between the brain lobes (arrow in C) along F-actin rich cables (arrow in D). (E) UAS-dRas1V12; FRT82B crb11A22 scrib1. Loss of crb does not abrogate scrib1 + RasACT tumour overgrowth. (F, G) UAS-dRas1V12; FRT82B scrib1 UAS-bskDN. Expression of BskDN in scrib1 + RasACT tumours prevents tumour overgrowth throughout an extended larval stage of development and blocks invasion of tumour cells between the brain lobes.

Paxillin is a downstream target of JNK signalling. Larval eye/antennal imaginal discs containing eyFLP-induced MARCM clones (green), with attached brain lobes (bl) in (E). Grey scale is Paxillin. (A) FRT82B scrib1. scrib mutant clones have elevated levels of Paxillin in some mutant cells (arrow). (B) FRT82B UAS-bskDN. Ectopic expression of BskDN in clones does not alter Paxillin levels in the eye disc. (C) FRT82B scrib1 UAS-bskDN. scrib mutant clones expressing BskDN no longer show elevated levels of Paxillin, although non-clonal tissue adjacent to mutant clones sometimes does ectopically express Paxillin (arrow), presumably reflecting JNK activation in the non-mutant tissue. (D) UAS-dRas1V12; FRT82B. Ectopic expression of RasACT in clones does not generally elevate Paxillin levels. (E) UAS-dRas1V12; FRT82B scrib1. Paxillin levels are increased in scrib1 + RasACT tumours, most notably at the invasive front, as shown by tumour cells invading into the brain lobes. (F) UAS-hepACT; FRT82B UAS-P35. Clones of tissue expressing an activated allele of the Drosophila JNKK homologue, hemipterous, Hep (HepACT), kept alive through the co-expression of the caspase inhibitor P35, ectopically express elevated levels of Paxillin.

JNK signalling is activated in scrib1 + RasACT tumour cells. Larval eye/antennal imaginal discs containing eyFLP-induced MARCM clones (green) at day 5 (A-C, E) and at approximately day 7 (D). A pair of eye discs attached to the brain lobes (bl) is shown in (D). Grey scale is β-Gal to detect msn-lacZ enhancer trap activity. Red is phalloidin to mark F-actin. (A) UAS-dRas1V12; msn06946 FRT82B. RasACT-expressing clones show a mild increase in msn-lacZ reporter activity in eye disc clones, especially in the central region of the disc. (B-D) UAS-dRas1V12; msn06946 FRT82B scrib1. scrib1 + RasACT tumours express elevated levels of the msn-lacZ enhancer trap, most prominently in cells located basally within the eye disc (B compared to C) and in the region between the eye and antennal (ant) discs (arrow in B). Tumour cells appear to migrate between the brain lobes and ectopically express the msn-lacZ enhancer trap (D). (E) UAS-dRas1V12; msn06946 FRT82B scrib1 UAS-bskDN. Expression of BskDN in scrib1 + RasACT tumours prevents msn-lacZ expression within the tumour cells.

Apple is reportedly planning to launch a new iPhone case called 'Covr'.
These cases allow users to click photos discreetly.
According to Cnet, the case has a prism lens fitted that allows users to click photographs while holding the phone like a TV remote, making it much easier to click photographs and not catching an eye.
The case does not promote violating someone's privacy, but this is an amazing tool if you are a fan of candid photography.
Covr is expected to hit the market in around four months.

Buying the previous-generation Porsche Cayenne was a sure-fire way of irritating your neighbours. Keeping up with the Jones' became about distancing yourself from the eco-bashing hooligans next door. But now there's an all-new version out, with reductions in weight, fuel consumption and CO2 figures.
See more pics of the 500bhp Porsche Cayenne Turbo
Not that this should come as much of a surprise. The Cayenne is still heavily related to the Touareg, so the eco-focus of that car is also on this one – think of the Porsche as the VW's ugly sister. As a result, the Cayenne now has five engines available including a diesel and a hybrid: the base 3.6-litre V6; a Cayenne S with 400bhp; the same 3.0-litre V6 diesel out of the Touareg; a hybrid also borrowed from VW; and lastly this range-topping Turbo with 500bhp and 516lb ft. Prices range from £41,404 to £81,589.
Argue whatever you want about the ethics of the last Cayenne, but you couldn't disagree with how it drove. A pity, then, that this one has lost some of the Porsche sparkle. The chief culprit is the steering. It's sharp and precise, but it lacks feel and is over-assisted.
As a result, the Cayenne doesn't shrink around you like the last one did. What was miraculous about the Cayenne Mk1 was how Porsche created a near 2.5-tonne SUV that felt like a sports car... er, a very large sports car. But it did really feel like a Porsche. In the new one, that's disappeared. You still get plenty of feedback from the chassis, which gets air suspension as standard on the Turbo. You can instantly tell this is a fluffier Cayenne because it now comes with a comfort setting – the last one only had a Sport button. For most driving, this is a good thing – it wafts better now – but some of the Porsche purity of purpose has disappeared.
With the full drive-hard setting active, the Cayenne still corners far better than any other SUV on the market. It's flat, predictable, grippy. But in normal and comfort, handling prowess has been sacrificed for ride. Turn in on a fast sweeping bend, and the rear end rolls around a pivot point too much. The front turns in sharply, but the back is too soft and has too much movement.
Which is a shame because the Turbo has more than enough grunt to make fast driving all too easy. On an autobahn, the Cayenne sits at 140mph as effortlessly as if you were simply pottering to the shops. 0-62mph only takes 4.7 seconds.
So on the scale of SUV-sportiness, the Cayenne still lies ahead of everything else. But it feels more compromised, so this Cayenne is more like its VW sibling than the Cayenne Mk1. The Porsche DNA has been diluted.

9:15. I reconsider the cancellation of my ClubLove account.
11:00. It only gets worse: I'm entering my own name into search engines for kicks. I unearth the fact that my high school literary arts magazine is, horrifyingly, online.
[My father] turned his face to the window and stared into the sky, demanding rain and release... Austin Bunn, Glyphs, 1991
11:15. I put myself to sleep, nostalgic for a world without cyberspace. A world like 1991.
Day 4
4:45 a.m. I can't get back to sleep, which has started to mean less and less to me since my waking hours are anything but waking. I go online. Girly-sounding has not returned she's gone.
5:00. I can't believe the numbers of people up at this hour in Yahoo! chat. One of the largest rooms is mensuckingmen1, with 67 people. Jesus, this early? I encounter 17-year-old Graceroo in Lobby13. I ask her what she's doing up at 5 a.m. She tells me she lives in Malaysia, and hopes to marry an American boy one day.
6:15. I leave the apartment and walk to Prospect Park. I'm breaking the rules, but I can't help it. This test is over. I'm not sick exactly, but still definitely in need of a cure.
A calico cat brushes against my leg on the sidewalk. My first thought: What a small operating system. A page from the Times blows by me and it seems so foreign, like a relic. The sloughed-off skin of a slow-moving animal.
6:50. Dawn. The sky looks the color of my desktop. I vanish.

We are experiencing great difficulty in understanding the billing aspects of BSNL landline service, particularly relating to usage charges, discounts etc. and the calculations underlying them. On approaching the authorities concerned, they are either busy or are unable themselves to explain the procedures. It would be helpful for a layman like me ,if BSNL authorities are kind enough to provide exampled explanations along with the bill itself or place the needed inputs in their official website for everyone to understand the same.

Misuse of PIN numbers
Except at ATMs, the ATM cards need not require pressing of PIN numbers by its holders for transferring money while shopping. I have read in newspapers that many losers of credit cards have lost huge amounts.
My credit card was used by my sons and friends in shopping a number of times.
This is a glaring example about how these cards are quite unsafe.
Banks must make it mandatory to operate PIN number invariably wherever it is used as being done a few companies while introducing ATM cards.

Community hall encroached
West Anand Bagh Colony, Safilguda, Malkajgiri, Hyderabad is a residential colony. The colony has a Welfare Association community hall opposite to Brindavan Gardens. Community Hall provides reading, sit outs and library for senior citizens.
But it has been occupied by Mallikarjun Pan Shop, Autos & Taxis.
Now senior citizens are being forced to vacate the place. Chairs, tables are put in front of the shop and sometimes the path is totally blocked. Complaints have been pouring from the residents to remove all the encroachments in and around Community Hall.

Deteriorating postal service
Postal service in Hyderabad is continuously deteriorating. The expensive Speed Post service (EMS) is also sloppy.
I sent a big packet of my manuscripts to my publisher in Calcutta from Banjara Hills P.O, 500034.
This was returned after three days by P.O. Humayun Nagar (500028) on the ground that the address of the sender should be written in right hand bottom corner and the name of the addressee on the left hand top corner.
I lodged a complaint after which I was reimbursed part of the charges.
However, I ignored the dictum.
Then the person at the counter of the Khairatabad P.O. refused to accept a speed post and advised that the name of the sender should be written on the back.

Salary hike for MLAs/MLCs
This has reference to the State government's largesse towards the MLA's / MLC's in giving a double fold salary hike and gifts worth Rs. 3.86 crore at the end of the budget session.
One cannot understand as to how these sops can be given to the already influential persons, when it is difficult for people to get a basic pay of 2 1/2 dollars per day, as the standard set by the U.N.

Footpath in shambles
The footpath way at Chandana Brothers Complex junction at Secunderabad is in shambles due to unfinished underground cabling system by the contractor.
It is causing inconvenience to motorists and pedestrians on this busy road. Pedestrians, who are forced to walk on the main road against the speeding vehicles, resulting to many number of accidents at this danger point.

Inconvenience to co-passengers
There is no mention about whether RTC allows commuters to carry luggage like wooden, steel boxes, suitcases, bundles, flower baskets etc in often jam packed and overcrowded city buses.
Needs no great imagination that such luggage kept in the passageway and entry and alighting points by some commuters cause terrible inconvenience to co-passengers.
If RTC allows such a commuter-inconveniencing facility, the rule has to be altered and insist on the conductor/driver not to allow such luggage in city services, which are basically rapid mass public transport and not suburban cargo-commuter fleet.

Not that cliffs of Dover is not awesome. But I can think of far less technical players i much prefer due to their creativity and how they augmented a band.
Like tricky said. Nirvana made everyone think they could do it. And many many bands have tried to copy that simple dynamic of quiet to loud since. But no one has ever really pulled it off as well.
ok, Mark Knopfler or Ry Cooder then.. Just not Keith Richards! Defnition of one trick pony right there..

India's first wholly indigenous NBC (nuclear, biological, chemical) reconnaissance (recce) vehicle designed, developed and manufactured by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) was handed over to the Indian Army in Pune on Tuesday.
The recce vehicle costs Rs6.5 crore compared to an equivalent international price of Rs20 crore.
In a function held at the Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL) on Tuesday, W Selvamurthy, chief controller, research and development (life sciences), DRDO handed over four such vehicles to Lt Gen MC Badhani, engineer-in-chief, Indian Army.
With these, the first Limited Series Production order of eight NBC recce vehicles have been handed over to the army. It has placed an order for 16 more with the DRDO, which they are confident of delivering by 2013.
The NBC recce vehicles, which have been fitted with hi-tech sensors, are able to monitor radiologically and chemically contaminated areas.

VIRGINIA BEACH -- One of Virginia Beach's busiest intersections will soon be getting a face lift.
Right now, Indian River Road at Kempsville Road is one of the most congested intersections in Virginia Beach. It tops the city's list in backups and safety concerns, and causes frustration for drivers.
'The intersection is horrible. There have been plenty of accidents I've seen. They've been pretty, really really bad. It's terrible attempting to make left turns here,' said driver Everette Gilchrist.
City officials have a very unconventional idea to fix the intersection and the proposed design is a first for Virginia.
'The city examined this very, very closely, and as a result or our examination, we came up with the concept of the hybrid,' Public Works Senior Project Manager Taha Ataya said.
A continuous-flow hybrid intersection essentially eliminates the left turn to cut the backups. On Kempsville Road, those turning left will cross over opposing traffic at a signal into their own separate lane. On Indian River, to make a left drivers will go through the intersection, u-turn at a signal, and then make a right. Sounds confusing? Others agree.
'It makes no sense at all. I think I want to see, somebody needs to explain that to me,' said driver Sidney Keys.
Businesses near the intersection are worried about the impact this project.
'When they have to go down to the next light over, we're just going to lose their business and they're just going to carry themselves to another shop up the street,' Used Tire Express manager Stevenson Cohen said.
But officials are sure this is the best solution. After examining about twenty other options, officials say this is a tailor-fit solution for the intersection.
'We're asking you to bear with us and hopefully you'll see the benefit after the project is done,' Ataya said.
The intersection carries about a 105,000 vehicles per day.
Construction is slated to begin in the fall of 2015 and should take more than a year.

Expressing solidarity with social activist Anna Hazare's agitation at Mumbai in protest against a 'weak' Lokpal bill, his supporters commenced a three day fast in the city.
"While 26 people will fast continuously for three days, over 100 have lent their support. We expect more people to join as some have said they want to join from tomorrow," Banu Gomes, media co-ordinator of India Against Corruption said at the venue, a marriage hall lent by superstar Rajnikanth.
On Monday, Mr. Rajinikant had lent his marriage hall in Kodambakkam area here free of cost to the anti-corruption activists for three days to stage the fast.
"We had approached him for support. He (Rajinikanth) accepted it and said he was always for anti-corruption. He offered it free of cost and said it was his service to the country," M S Chandramohan, central core committee member of India against Corruption, said.
IAC also plans to hold 'Jail Bharo Andolan' from December 30, he said.
