interceptty - Intercept traffic to and from a serial port.
Usage: ./interceptty [-V] [-qvl] [-s back-set] [-o output-file] [-p pty-dev] [-t tty-dev] [-m [pty-owner,[pty-group,]]pty-mode] [-u uid] [-g gid] [-/ chroot-dir] back-device front-device back-device Use back-device as the device to intercept path TTY dev is at /path @/path Socket is at /path @host:port Inet socket is at host:port !prog Run prog for backend =rfd[,wfd] Use file descriptors front-device Use front-device as the device applications connect to path Create symlink at /path @/path Socket at /path @host:port Inet socket at host:port =rfd[,wfd] Use file descriptors '-' to prevent creating a front-device. Doesn't currently do anything. -l Line-buffer output -o output-file Write intercepted data to output-file -s back-stty Use given settings to set up back-device These settings are passed directly to stty(1). -m pty-mode Specify permissions for the new pty. Format is [pty-owner,[pty-group,]]pty-mode] -u uid Switch to given uid after setting up (must be root) -g gid Switch to given gid after setting up (must be root) -/ chroot-dir chroot(2) to given dir after setting up (must be root) -q Activate quiet mode -v Activate verbose mode -V Print version number then exit -p pty-dev Full path to pty device for front-end (used internally) -t tty-dev Full path to tty device for front-end (used externally)
interceptty is designed to sit between a serial port (or other terminal device, or program, or socket, or something connected to a file descriptor) and a program which is communicating with that device, recording everything that goes back and forth between the two. It does this by opening the real device, creating a pseudo-tty, then forwarding everything between the two, recording whatever it sees. It has a number of options that let you fine-tune the devices it uses and the terminal options for the real device.
With the support for various backend types, interceptty is also useful to create a fake serial port that will talk to the network or to a program you've written. The -q switch will turn off its logging output, and you can read about the different backends further down.
The output of interceptty is a somewhat ugly, rudimentary format that I usually postprocess through interceptty-nicedump, an included Perl script. More information about the output format is included later, in the Output section.
To stop interceptty, press CTRL-C. It doesn't exit under any other circumstances except error conditions.
If back-device starts with an
@ and contains a slash (
/), it
will be treated as a Unix socket.
If back-device starts with an
@ and doesn't contain a slash
/), it will be treated as an Internet hostname, followed by a
colon, followed by a port. interceptty will connect to that address
and port.
If back-device starts with an exclamation point (
!), it will be
treated as a program to run. That program will be started up, and its
standard input and output will be connected to the frontend.
If back-device starts with an equal sign (
=), it will be treated
as a file descriptor to use, or a comma-seperated pair of file
descriptors. The first file descriptor will be used for reading, and
the second for writing; if only one is specified, it will be used for
both. These descriptors must already be opened by the program that
started interceptty.
-), and you can use things other
than pseudo-terminals as a frontend by using a front-device that
starts with one of several special characters.
If front-device starts with an
@ and contains a slash (
/), it
will be treated as a Unix socket. interceptty will create this
socket, and listen for connections. This is the mode to use for newer
versions of VMWare.
If front-device starts with an
@ and doesn't contain a slash
/), it will be treated as a local interface name to listen on,
followed by a colon, followed by a port. interceptty will listen on
that interface and port. Use an interface name of 0 to listen on all
local interfaces.
If front-device starts with an equal sign (
=), it will be
treated as a file descriptor to use, or a comma-seperated pair of file
descriptors. The first file descriptor will be used for reading, and
the second for writing; if only one is specified, it will be used for
both. These descriptors must already be opened by the program that
started interceptty. This is useful for running interceptty under
another program, such as tcpserver, inetd, or stunnel.
- for the frontend.
interceptty prints its output in a fairly unattractive, painful to look at format. However, it is very easy for other programs to parse. For an example of how to post-process this output into something appropriate to whatever you are intercepting, see the included Perl script interceptty-nicedump.
Output lines are in this general format:
< 0x54 (T) > 0x4b (K) ^ Direction ^^^^ Hex code (to real device) ^^^ ASCII character (to real device) ^^^^ Hex code (from real device) ^^^ ASCII character (from real device)
The direction marker is a '<' if this character was sent to the backend device, and '>' if it was received from the backend device. It is always followed by a single space. If the character was received from the real device, a tab will appear next (this makes the output easier to follow). After that is the hex code for the character, and the ASCII representation of the character if it is an ASCII character.
Here's some examples of some common, useful, or interesting tasks you can use interceptty for.
interceptty -s 'ispeed 19200 ospeed 19200' -l /dev/ttyS0 | interceptty-nicedump
then configured VMWare to use /tmp/interceptty for COM1.
Newer versions of VMware use a socket. You can use them like this:
interceptty -s 'ispeed 19200 ospeed 19200' -l \ /dev/ttyS0 @/tmp/sersock | interceptty-nicedump
then configure VMWare to use a ``named pipe'' at /tmp/sersock.
You must start interceptty before you connect the serial device under VMWare. If you stop interceptty with CTRL-C, or if it otherwise shuts down, once you have connected it, you will need to disconnect and reconnect COM1 before it will work again.
interceptty -s 'ispeed 19200 ospeed 19200' /dev/ttyS0 \ -p /dev/ttyS1 -
That lets you monitor serial communication between two non-PC devices. It's likely you'll need to use a null-modem cable to connect one of the devices.
interceptty -q -s 'ispeed 19200 ospeed 19200' /dev/ttyS0 \ '@0:4001'
Note that this doesn't allow any kind of access control, but you can run it under a program that does provide access control, like tcpserver. See the example below.
interceptty -q '@serial-server.example.com:4001' \ /dev/serial-server
Some Digi brand serial-to-Ethernet adapters can use ssh. To connect to this, you can use a program backend:
interceptty -q '!ssh -p 4001 serial-server.example.com' \ /dev/serial-server
tcpserver 0 9999 \ interceptty -q -s 'ispeed 19200 ospeed 19200' /dev/ttyS0 =0,1
While an effort has been made to make sure that this code is free of security issues, it has not been thoroughly audited, and should not under any circumstances be set-UID or set-GID to anything. If nothing else, the '-s' option will probably allow shell escapes, and using a program back-end is also dangerous.
If this program is run as root, it will set up the pty portion of its pseudo-terminal to be only readable by itself, and will copy the ownership and permissions from the real device to the tty portion. It tries to change this back before exiting, but if it crashes such that it doesn't get to run its cleanup code, the ownership and permission will stay the same.
If it is not run as root, it will make no effort to change the permissions on the pseudo-terminal. If you need to do this, select a pseudo-terminal in advance, set the permissions appropriately, and use the '-p' and '-t' options to instruct interceptty to use that device instead of picking its own.

You must set all serial options, such as baud rate, flow control, etc., up front with the '-s' option. Any settings that the application sets using interceptty's pseudo-terminal will be ignored. I can't find a way around this; if you have ideas, please let me know.
We make no attempt to lock backend device. We probably should, but I don't know how to do it portably. If somebody has a nice API function I can call, I will happily add locking support in.
This program has only been tested under Linux, although the code is fairly portable. I don't have access to another machine with serial ports I can play with, so I haven't tried to port it. I probably won't port this to any other machines, but if you manage to, please send me the patches and I will include them in future distributions. I have recently added autoconf support, which may be useful in making this program more portable. But to be honest, I just used it so I could get ``make dist''.
interceptty is based in larte part on ttysnoop-0.12d, by Carl Declerck. Any bugs with interceptty should be reported to me, and not to Carl. I basically adapted ttysnoop for my foul purposes, removed the parts that weren't necessary anymore, and added appropriate option processing. ttysnoop was licensed under the GPL, and I have of course kept that license for interceptty.

Eric Cantor succumbs to tea party challenger
In a stunning upset propelled by tea party activists, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) was defeated in Tuesday's congressional primary, with insurgent David Brat delivering an unpredicted and devastating loss to the second most powerful Republican in the House who has widely been touted as a future speaker.
The race called shortly after 8 p.m. Eastern by the Associated Press.
Brat's victory gives the GOP a volatile outlook for the rest of the campaign season, with the party establishment struggling late Tuesday to grapple with the news and tea party conservatives relishing a surprising win.
"This is an earthquake," said former Minnesota congressman Vin Weber, a friend of Cantor's. "No one thought he'd lose." But Brat, tapping into conservative anger over Cantor's role in supporting efforts to reform federal immigration laws, found a way to combat Cantor's significant financial edge.

frequently asked questions
How do I signup?
There really aren't too many i's to dot and t's to cross to get up and running with your own white label text chat service. In fact your account with xonadu can be up and running in less than 24 hours.
Please do drop us a line at our contact page, or give us a call to get the ball rolling. We would be delighted to hear from you.
If you're ready to partner with us straight away there a couple of questions we will need to ask you. Once we have chatted we will send you a short partnership agreement for your signature. This will formalise all the boring details.
We do need to establish your preferred keyword for your text chat service and so when you contact us it will be helpful if you have thought about what keyword you would like to use. More often than not it makes sense to choose a word that is relevant to the name of your service. We will need to check this is available on our database before allocating the keyword to you.
How much will you charge me?
There are no monthly costs leaving our partners to focus their budgets, time and effort on the marketing.
How much can I earn?
xonadu partners usually generate over £1,000 per month within 6 months, and within 12 months they are enjoying an income of much more. But this is not a "get rich quick" scheme and partners need to spend a few hours a week on their websites and ad campaigns to get people signing up and using text chat.
How can I promote my white label text chat service?
There are several ways that you can attract people to your text chat service. These include:
- Add it to the contact/dating pages of a publication
- Advertise in the print media – classifieds are a good way of getting sign-ups
- Set up a dedicated website to promote your white label service and spread the word with internet advertising
- Advertise with banners on relevant websites, such as dating websites
We will help with and approve all marketing before it goes live.
How long does it take to set up?
We can have a keyword for your white label service up and running in minutes, but we do need to dot some i's and cross some t's first. Please see the sign-up now page. Once you have signed-up as a partner you have instant access to our online statistics where you can track the number of new sign-ups and billed messages. Our account management team will be available to you throughout the set-up process and beyond.
What is a keyword?
The keyword is the identifier that an end user texts to our platform to sign up to text chat. You may choose any keyword – subject to availability. It can be specific to your brand, or the name of your service and is usually promoted in your marketing material. Our platform recognises the keyword and identifies the inbound registration sms as your user. Thereafter all premium rate messages sent in by your users are tracked and revenue paid out accordingly.
Can I have more than one keyword?
Separate keywords can be assigned for male, female and, if appropriate, gay members. Additional keywords may be made available to identify media response on a per-publication or campaign basis.
We can also allocate you more than one keyword if you prefer to create multiple text chat services across more than one niche to cater for different members? We can issue you with as many keywords as you want, targeting niches such as specific ages, regions, adult, gay or casual daters to maximise your income.
Do I need technical experience?
No technical experience is necessary. You just need to promote your keyword on line through Google Adwords, for example, or in the print media. Your dedicated Account Manager will be on hand to help whenever you need it.
How regularly will I be paid?
You'll be paid once per month.
How will I receive payment?
You'll receive a BACs payment into your bank account. The payments will be made on the same dates, however you must have generated a minimum of £200 for the payment to be processed.
Who deals with customer enquiries?
We do. We provide customer support for all members via telephone support to UK members who would like to speak to the support team directly. All support staff are located in the UK.
Can members send inappropriate text content to each other?
In line with PhonepayPlus regulations all text profiles and photos are moderated before appearing on the public areas of the text chat platform. The sms content sent between users is also monitored frequently.
Will my text chat members receive marketing?
Yes, but only customer relationship marketing about the text chat platform itself. We have optimised our sms marketing to encourage members to keep using the service and to use it as much as possible. We continually update, develop and improve our CRM marketing to make sure you earn as much as possible from every member. We will not bombard your members with adverts for other services or products.
What is PhonepayPlus and do I need to worry about PhonepayPlus regulation
PhonepayPlus is the regulator for phone-paid services in the UK and an agency of Ofcom. We have worked closely with PP+ to ensure that our service is compliant – through X-on (Xonadu's parent company) we are a PhonepayPlus registered Text Chat operator and our chat service has the regulator's permission to operate. We take a pride in being 100% compliant and so that is why we insist on having approval of all our partners' marketing material before it goes live.

text: Purely on a concept level, Percy Jackson: Sea Of Monsters had so much going for it: A postmodernist 3-D film with a cyclops who, because of his one-eyed nature, can't perceive visual depth - something that would've had Jean-Luc Godard salivating; an inquisitive look at the Bermuda triangle which to me, personally, is a subject of tremendous fascination; and a plethora of curiously fanciful characters and themes, something that a filmmaker like Guillermo Del Toro would've made gold out of. This is essentially an adventure film. There is little by way of character development, the film plays around with itself shuttling between typical tropes of adventure-cinema and deconstructive gags on the same. This isn't really a superhero film although it does evoke the what-it-means-to-be-superhero notion in just one scene, but the eponymous character's (and his half-brother's) existential crises; the relationship between them considering that they learn about each other's existence after almost crossing their teenage here is played out so matter-of-factly, not even making an effort to make sure that we care. Where the lack of "drama" could and should have been one the film's strengths considering that the pastiche portions work a lot better, here is a film that wants us to empathize with the characters, be invested in their emotional journeys and for that, it's too superficial and silly. As for the adventure bit, a sense of wonder is what one seeks from such films and even today's 3yr-olds have seen better stuff than this. That may be partly because one can't see anything at all in this film, thanks to the monstrously darkening 3-D.view less

- 1/3 cup bengal gram dal (channa dal)
- 1/3 cup Pigeon peas (toor dal)
- 1 medium onion,chopped very fine
- 1 tsp Garam Masala

Why is my vadai broken to pieces when frying?
SharineApril 27th, 2012 on 12:38 pm
Your recipe calls for whole black gram dal but I do not seem to see any whole black gram dal in your first couple of pictures you posted (of the soaked and drained dal before blending) – do you actually use the whole black lentils or the skinned and split black lentils? Thanks. This looks delicious and I am going to try to make it for the first time, so I want to make sure I get it right. Also, can you please tell me what bengal gram dal/channa dal is called in English? Is it the same as yellow split peas? One last thing – I have read somewhere that it's recommended to soak dal for about 3 – 6 hours before use. You recommended at least 1 hour here. What would you say is the minimum soaking time one need for best result? Thank you so much!
Its skinned whole Black gram. Yes, yellow split peas is channa dal.

I remembered this is one of the first Indian snack I got to taste as a kid…it blew my mind. I like this masala vadai at first but now I like the vadai with chutney too!
MadhuriOctober 27th, 2011 on 2:59 pm
Great tasting recipe! unfortunately I ended up adding a bit too much water while grinding the lentils out of the fear of resetting the mixer so they didn't have a great shape but still tasted pretty awesome…is there anything I can do once i've added too much water to correct the situation?

Wonderful recipe. I also add a teaspoon of saunf whole and a crushed garlic to it, gives an another dimension.
Thank you so much swarna I liked your suggestion – I love saunf myself. Will add it the next time I make these Vadais –DK

shilpaJune 2nd, 2009 on 5:30 pm
Hey yummy vadas, love them….
Good one dhivi…
June 2nd, 2009 on 12:10 pm
love these vadas! We usually make some extra so that we can have some the next day as well. the first pic is beautiful
June 2nd, 2009 on 11:14 am
Oh, goodness… It there anything as good as a steaming hot vadai on a cold and rainy day? These look great, Dhivi! You brought back memories of being on the train in India with the vadai vendors calling out, "Tea… Tea… Suda suda tea… Vadai, vadai… Medhu vadai… Masala vadai!!"
June 2nd, 2009 on 6:17 am
Oh wow my favourite vada….we call it chitti garelu means small vada…..Looks yum….
June 2nd, 2009 on 6:12 am
wada looks delicious DK..jst give me that plate I am hungry here
June 2nd, 2009 on 5:30 am
Wow,thanks for the greased sheet idea.I can never get it right.Love the tempting vadais.The train journey evokes such responses from me as well and is now a cherished memory
My mother just wets her hand, pats this down on one end..and drops it into the oil! gawd – till date it gives me jeepers creepers. Plastic sheet works wonderfully for me
June 2nd, 2009 on 12:56 am
Looks divine!
June 2nd, 2009 on 12:15 am
Love these..just looking at the pics made me hungry:)
June 2nd, 2009 on 12:09 am
Wish i could just grab few of them. I never make vadas or anything like that as i am a clumsy person when i have to use th emixer, i rey to avoid using my mixer as much as possible, could be also my knob was broken after using few times.
Now i have to take a spanner to turn it on.
Looks so yummy crunch delicous.
June 1st, 2009 on 9:12 pm
Wow the vadas looks very delicious.Cant wait to eat whole plate dear.
June 1st, 2009 on 7:39 pm
Nice step by step procedure..they look yummy.
June 1st, 2009 on 6:42 pm
Delicious looking masala vadai.. I love these fried goodies, can eat a whole batch of them if it was not for the calories and guilt conscious later. But anything in moderation is always good.
June 1st, 2009 on 5:37 pm
Masala wada with some hot steaming milk will do the magic here!!!
June 1st, 2009 on 3:29 pm
Wow .. so healthy, pic looks good as well
June 1st, 2009 on 3:20 pm
Wow..this vadai goes well with tea/coffee. I m craving for it.
June 1st, 2009 on 3:08 pm
These do sound amazing! I could see why you would save room for these. I once made a fried urad dal patty that I enjoy immensely, but these sound even better!

The New Jersey Devils leader Ilya Kovalchuk will have something more to fight for in the Stanley Cup final series as he has been announced among the six Conn Smythe Trophy contenders.
Kovalchuk's teammates Zach Parise and Martin Brodeur as well as the Los Angeles trio Jonathan Quick, Dustin Brown and Anze Kopitar are among the other five players who could grab the prize awarded to the Most Valuable Player of the Stanley Cup playoffs.
If the Devils win the series, Kovalchuk will be the hot favorite for the prize. He has already netted seven goals and made 11 assists to take the lead in the best goal-scorers list.
In his recent interviews the Russian demonstrated a huge sense of accomplishment for a new reputation he has built since swapping no-playoff-fighter Atlanta for New Jersey.
"I think I was myself all those years. It's just this year we're fortunate to go this far. And I think it's not just because of one guy. We were great as a team. Guys like Gionta, Bernier, Ponikarovsky, Carts (Carter), Sal (Salvadore) – you know all those guys they really stepped up their games and that was the big difference," says Kovalchuk.
Now, a little less than two years after battling for the forward, the New Jersey Devils and Los Angeles Kings come head-to-head in the fight for the Stanley Cup.
Led by Kovalchuk and 40-year-old star-goalie Martin Brodeur, the Devils are only the second sixth seeds to reach the final. Even more surprising is the presence of the Kings in the ultimate series.
First, in the last few regular season games they managed to lose the third place in the Western Conference and began the playoffs as the last seed side. But they proved the best in the West with a seeming easiness.
It is in Los Angeles yet another Russian is playing – the 22-year-old defender Vyacheslav Voinov, so the Russians' sympathies will divide during the next two weeks.
Game One is scheduled for Wednesday night in New Jersey.

Boston, MA (PRWEB) April 16, 2010
A recent study showed that when doctors tell their at-risk heart patients that they will die soon if they don't change their lifestyle habits--diet, exercise, smoking, stress--only one in seven were able to do it. Why aren't more people able to make these important lifestyle changes, even when their life depends on it? How many more people attempt to start heart-healthy lifestyles habits BEFORE they develop heart disease, only to find themselves exhausted, discouraged and unable to achieve their goals?
Conducted live by phone and featuring an outstanding group of specialists from the fields of neuroscience, psychology and coaching, 'How Your Brain Can Save Your Heart (And Your Life)' goes straight to the heart of the matter--the neural networks and specialized functions within the brain that dictate how we think, feel and act in the present moment. Participants will be introduced to 4 brain-based strategies which research has shown to be critical for breaking-down old habits and building-up new neural networks that support healthier lifestyle choices. Along the way, they'll learn how to enlist the brain's 'higher order' functions--such as visualization, 'self talk', appreciative thinking, intention, and 'mindfulness'-- to do the work. Participants will learn to:
"Even with the best intentions," states Paul Nelson, M.Ed., a Harvard-trained behavior-change specialist and Director of HeartCoaches, "only one person in seven is able to make the lifestyle changes that are required to save their life. Before anyone even starts a new diet, exercise routine or smoking cessation program, I recommend that they first learn how the brain works to create and sustain new behaviors. Then they'll have a much better chance of acquiring new habits and maintaining a healthy heart."
The cost of this 5-week interactive teleclass, which also gives participants an opportunity to see what it's like working with an experienced wellness coach, is $298. A new class is starting soon.

The easiest way to say it is this: Backcountry America is extremely hot right now. Winter's Bone created "buzz" for the Ozarks two years ago, but FX's good guys/bad guys saga Justified put Appalachia over the edge. Just like in 1999, when America was obsessed with Ricky Martin, George Lopez, Enrique Iglesias, and, to a lesser extent, George Lopez, people can't get enough of wood-burning stoves, zero-income households, and squirrel stew.
This is, of course, a gross oversimplization. The works I cite above have done very well at shedding light on areas and cultures that have been written off by most every outsider, both in the media and in day-to-day life. However, with a program as engaging as Justified, we're treated to a look at an insular culture that doesn't come across as cartoonish in the fashion that Bon Temps, the Louisiana setting of True Blood, does.
So, as a fan of Justified, but someone woefully ignorant of what exactly Kentucky culture entails, I have to say I've been privy to an education in what exactly goes on there.
Here's what I've learned.
Driving to pick up your kids? That's cool. U.S. Marshal going to transport a dangerous interstate rapist? Perfect. Here's some coffee with "a kick."
In the world of Justified, everyone is always drinking bourbon, and there's never a bad time to ask for it. I'm a BIG fan of bourbon (read: alcoholic), so this is terrific news to me. It seems that every home and office is so stocked with booze, that the notion of "going out drinking" seems pretty foreign in the town of Harlan. It would be like going to a designated place to breath or poop. It's such a familiar activity that making an event out of it seems silly. Sure, there are bars, but it's become my understanding that the bars are pretty much just where criminals go to meet each other while, yes, drinking bourbon.
This doesn't just apply to lower classes or the seedy underbelly. The bourgeoisie and upper crust take just the same approach as well. As does law enforcement. Marshals Raylan, Art, and Tim all seem to fabricate excuses to drink. When Raylan turns over his weapon to boss Art as evidence in a shootout, Tim Gutterson steps into the room to add, "Relinquishing a firearm can be a very emotional moment, and there always must be another deputy in attendance. Add in some premium alcohol, what could possibly go wrong?"
With that, they raise their glasses to the successful relinquishment of a weapon. And that seems to be how Kentucky operates in regards to the omnipresence of alcohol.
Consider posting a comment.

Single digit chapters to go
Every other part of the WIP after this chapter is laid out neatly. It's organized in my head. The notes are relevant.
I feel like I almost need to start at the beginning, and I absolutely detest starting at the beginning. I'm much too lazy for that, because my greatest fear is that, if I screw around with this, I may have to re-structure chapters I've already finished. I like most of what I've finished. I just have no fucking clue how to get from today, to tomorrow.
On a lighter note, three of the guys in the picture are getting ready for a fall fishing trip, way the fuck north into Canada. Everyone except for the guy in the red shirt who's sitting down is in, so far, and we have a half dozen more of "the boys" coming. I'm the stoned dope on the left in the sunglasses. The picture's circa 1985, from a fishing trip we took somewhere in Pennsylvania or one of the other places we used to go to drink, get stoned, drop acid, and drop a line in the water. I don't remember the specific conversation from that morning, but I remember the coffee, the Advil, and that it was a carefree time, and those are rare. I don't remember the conversations from my Friday night "club car" binges with my buddies at work. I don't remember my conversations with the wife when we're cooking at night. Yet I know they're the best times of my life. How does that work? If it's the best time of your life, shouldn't you remember the details?

On being ridiculed
I've thought about what I might be ridiculed for, and here's a preemptive strike. That's right, I aim to ridicule myself before they get to me. Parts of the WIP are sophomoric. I'm a vulgar man with the sense of humor of a ten year-old, it was inevitable. Parts of the WIP move too slowly. I love navel gazing, and I know it's not a big hit with sci-fi fans. Parts of the WIP move too quickly. I like sci-fi and feel the need to fill in the sci-fi portions of the plot around the romance, which means the romance probably feels like it happens too quickly for some. Etc...
There are countless ways in which I may have screwed up the WIP. Countless ways in which I may have bored the reader. But, how the fuck are you supposed to know if the thoughts that entertain you will entertain anyone else? You don't. All you can do is to put them down, and wait for the reaction. Natural story tellers who spin great verbal yarns don't necessarily make the best writers. And writers rarely make good verbal storytellers. Writers piece the stories together slowly, making it seem over time as thought the thoughts flowed from their minds as quickly as a stand up comedian. I could never match the quick wit of a Robin Williams, but give me enough time, and I can write an comedy routine that matches his style and pace. If they laugh at you, if they laugh hard, then figure out what you did to make them laugh, and do it again. Making them laugh gets you rich, just ask the late Andy Kaufman, a talentless man who made millions by making people laugh at his incompetence.
I salute the people who make the effort. I know that's a common theme of mine, but it's important. Bravo to you for the effort. For having the spine to push that page across the table, knowing there's a 99% chance that someone will make fun of what you wrote. It takes guts.
As to the WIP, I'm down to twelve chapters left. Two are very heavy right now, well over 10K words, so they'll take a shitload of work to cut down to something acceptable. I've noticed I'm repeating myself, so I'll have to go back through and find all the redundant passages. It's a pain in the ass. You sit there and wish you were done, that you could trot the thing out and let the public judge the thing already, but you'd be cheating whoever you handed it to if you didn't push across the table a story you didn't think was just right.
In the last week or so, I finally nailed down the name of the protag, and the title of the book. The revelation about the title actually brought about an enhanced ending, that I should have seen from the beginning, but didn't. I think it ties it all together better for the reader. I'm pretty sure it's the last revision of the ending. I know for sure it's the last time I change the protag's name and the title, unless some snake steals the title, but I doubt it. It's not exactly the kind of title the modern novelist clamours for. It's entitled Polarized.

Anyway, this morning, before it really hit me, the wife and I went to get our haircuts. Laptop in lap, I worked on the WIP while the wife was getting her hair fussed over. With the coloring, and all that, there were times when she was next to me, and there were times when there were other women next to me. Of course, I just happen to be working on the only chapter with what can b construed as a sex scene, so there were bras and panties, abs and asses all over the page. I don't let the wife see what I'm writing, not friends, not any other family. Nobody. Particularly the parts that could make someone blush. Letting it out in the open when the WIP is complete is one thing, but letting out individual lines expressing lust is something entirely different. So, every time someone would sit next to me, I would scoot the screen down to something benign, a description of a cabana that plays a prominent role in the book. In it, there are five colors I mention, in order to give the reader the feel of what the MC sees.
When I came home, I finished critiquing a piece on CC that I would rather have skipped over, but how I ended up critting it is a long, irrelevant story. The story I critiqued mentioned color or specific colors thirty-seven times within twelve paragraphs (and the paragraphs were relatively short) and more than fifty times within the 2000 words that made up the first chapter. Yikes. Believe me, by the time the reader reads about the fifth or sixth color, color has become irrelevant. Not only that, but the colors mentioned were generic. Purple. Green. Blue. Yellow. It doesn't focus the reader's mind on a specific subset of those colors to simply say something like yellow. If the author says lemon yellow, now we're talking. If the author chooses tangerine, instead of orange, now we're narrowing it down.
Colors are a precious thing. The author needs them for the reader to have color in his mind when he views a scene. It aides greatly with the visual effect, but it should be a splash here and a dollop there. Give the reader the primary color in your vision as you write the scene, then go on to some other aspect, preferably the plot.
Critting pieces with blatant technical flaws like that is irritating. Usually, I pass over the story. My time is too precious. There are times when writing isn't a sacrifice, like when I'm in the salon, waiting for the wife to have her hair done. It's a blessing on those occasions. It's also a blessing when I get to research something interesting while the wife searches in vain for something interesting on television. I've bought twenty or thirty books on subjects ranging from quantum physics to ship design and nomenclature to the meaning of signs and symbols. I guarantee you I got more joy from gleaming information from those books than I would have watching whatever shit she ends up watching at night. However, there are times when writing is a sacrifice. Sitting at my desk every day over lunch, while the sounds of my friends' laughter spills from the lunchroom down the hall, is a sacrifice. They're great people. I'd love to be in there with them. But I have to finish this thing. (I also happen to eat my lunch at 10 a.m. every day, because I've always eaten it then, so they eat too late for me)
Simple writing techniques like the use of color should come naturally to a writer. Read anything Vonnegut wrote, and see how many times he mentions colors. It comes from reading. Read and see how others use color. You'll be surprised at how conservative successful authors are.

A writer must be everything
It's how she defines herself. I'd love to define myself as a writer, but with this many years of writing under my belt and not a damn thing completed to show for the trouble, I hardly think I can make that claim. I've got 13 chapters left on what will be my first completed MS, and even though they are thoroughly outlined, it will take months to finish (sorry if I mislead anyone in the previous post.) I'm not a rebel without a cause, nor idealistic. My MC doesn't slay dragons, nor brings about world peace. He falls in love. I'm not sure that's enough to compel the sci-fi reader to turn the page, but it's what I've got up my sleeve. It's what's important to me. Conquering worlds doesn't appeal to everyone, I guess.
That said, there are characters in the WIP who want to conquer. There are characters hellbent on treachery. there are those who want to excel so their friends marvel at their prowess and bow. It takes all kinds to make up this world, and a writer has to have them all as an integral part of his heart. Can you as a writer be greedy? Can you be petty? Cruel? Sadistic? Timid and submissive?

Fuzzy nights of self doubt
A writer will depict characters doing countless things other characters by other authors have done in the past. That's invisible narrative. It shouldn't be tinkered with to make it something unique, IMO. It's not part of the essential elements that differentiate your book from the others. The essential elements are: the plot's originality, simplicity or understandable complexity; character appeal, whether good or bad; setting conveyed in the fewest words that present it clearly for that genre; and the themes. Oh, and then there's style.
I've discovered that my first person POV voice is completely different from my third person POV voice. At least, in this WIP it is. I made the 1st person POV voice as close to my own as I could, assuming that would be the best way to go in order to assure continuity throughout my first novel. I doubt I'll use the 1st person POV again for a very long time, not until I'm far better a writer and can manage to make it sound different from the one I'm using in this WIP, and still manage to make it sound genuine. there isn't a lot of style in my 1st person POV voice. It's not haughty like a 3rd person POV voice in a historic novel might sound, but it's appropriate for the character. So, here's the self-doubt of the day: will it be unique enough against the backdrop of all the other 1st person POV authors who've decided to go the same route? I'll know on Tuesday. No, not this coming Tuesday, but the Tuesday that'll mark the close of the the week the first chapter sits on CC for critiques.
Friday, February 10, 2012
I'm sure that someone who's brilliant, knows the meaning of names, symbology, psychology, and politics would know the general outcome of my WIP by the end of the third chapter, but there are few readers out there like that. I'm two thirds of the way through, and I'm beginning to reveal things that will make it plain enough for the common man to figure out much of what the protag will do and much of what the antags will do for the rest of the book, but they won't know the ultimate end and who my Uncas is until the last few sentences of the book.
The way I've divulged the information makes sense to me, but I don';t know if the general public will agree. If my book flops, divulging too little information too early may well be the downfall, but I'll stick with the backbone I have for now.

Political caricatures
I have absolutely no political agenda in my work. I wouldn't want to impose. But my characters have strong political stances, and I try my best to portray them, without making one to be the feeble minded one, while the other is the sage one that REALLY knows how best to save the world. The influence of certain politics in cable news, Hollywood, the printed medium, paintings, etc... is so brazen, it becomes a disgusting farce. People are not as one sided as they are portrayed. No matter what Nobel Laureate may insist it's so.
There are evil people in this world, but it's rarely due to political tendencies. More likely, it's due to a mental disorder or traumatic event in their lives.
I have a boatload of political banter in my WIP, but I can save everyone the suspense. Neither political side wins. The characters may thing one side won or the other, but not the narrator. I think I may have too much banter, so as I become desperate to find words to cut to get the WIP down to my goal of 120K words, I'll end up cutting the political feuding. I just have to make sure that I don't cut too much of one side.

I freely confess to committing plagiarism when I was at Pitt in the early 80's, but there was booze and drugs and laziness involved, so I don't consider my offense anywhere as serious as someone who is trying to make money off the intellectual ideas of others. Maybe I'm just as guilty as she is, but I was 18 and full of youthful indiscretion, and she's middle aged and should know better. I've confessed to my indiscretions, and if she has an ounce of self respect, she will too, unless of course, she's in the right. We'll see.
The whole episode got me to analyzing my current WIP. It'll be clear to anyone who reads it that it's not plagiarized. I've hardly read a book since I started it, and it certainly resembles nothing that was popular in the past. That said, there are signs of influence of the authors I read as a child. Surprisingly, far more from when I was a child than when I was older. I'm not sure that's a good thing, because I read from the classics a lot as a child, and I'm not sure the classics would sell very well in this day.
The first influence that comes to mind is James Fenimore Cooper. When Czechoslovakia was invaded by the Russians in '68, we escaped through the underground railroad into Austria, and my mother brought along a couple books. The one that made the biggest impression on me, and introduced me to adult themes such as death, revenge, stealth, multi-culturalism, and unfamiliar worlds, was The Last of the Mohicans. While my WIP is far enough in the future that I'm not sure there will be multiple cultures, rather a gray mix of races and customs, I've included an heavy dose of the new world feel to the setting, death plays a large role, as does revenge. I didn't set out to include these, it's only after crossing the Rubicon, that I can look back and have to assume that the influence of that literature on me influences my writing.
Another influence is Frederick Forsythe. I loved The Day of the Jackal, The Odessa File, and his other works. What I liked about those books is that the reader doesn't get to see the whole picture right away. there's a driving plot, but it's not really until the end that all the little nuances that have been brought up along the way are tied off in a nice neat way.
Alistair Maclean and his book Where Eagles Dare plays a role, because I like the notion of a small team against a superior opponent. Though, that would seem the farthest thing from being a part of the WIP at first glance.
Isaac Asimov obviously had a huge influence. Not in the sci-fi aspect, because I don't think my WIP is nearly as sci-fi-ish. But he has a very simple writing style that lends itself to easy reading. lots of dialogue. I love setting description. It's something I cherish, and I could do it all day, and nothing else. Similes and metaphors flying out my ass. But I looked at my last attempted WIP and it got too bogged down in setting and description. that story, and this story, are too complex to tell in a wordy way. I might be able to get away with some of that in the other WIP, because it's a historical novel, but not in a sci-fi, where the reader has a clearer mind, looking for the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but. So this IP is far more dialogue than the last.
i hope the great writers who influenced this WIP don't roll over in their graves at my handling of it. But even if my prose isn't up to the standards they set, I feel an obligation to pay them tribute at every turn. They deserve it, if only for the joy they brought me as a kid.

Some days it's easier
Today was an easy day to let go. Lots of cuts today of lines and paragraphs I've clutched to like a parent clinging to a child on a life raft. I blog about cutting a lot, because I agree with Truman Capote (or was that Hemingway? I forget, the rum has sunk in) who said that the eraser is more important than the pencil. I believe that one of my greatest weaknesses in writing is not knowing instinctively what to cut.
Maybe it comes with time, but I don't think it will in my case. When I was done slashing today, I wondered why it's so hard for me to do on most occasions. Of course, the first thing that comes to mind is that it's ego, that maybe I secretly consider every word a Monet that needs to be hung at the Louvre, but that's not it. It's fear. Fear that I'm losing a part of the character of the book. Fear that cutting some of the more frivolous, lighter moments of the book makes what remains too harsh. Too hard. Then a day like today comes along and I look at those long cherished lines and say, "What the fuck was I thinking? Nobody's gonna give a shit about this." Slash.
I need more days like today.

Can you sniff out the bullshitters?
The thing about friends who are that close is that you know each other's nature. It's rare that one of us surprises the others. Now, that's not to say it doesn't happen. My friend Mark became extremely religious overnight about twenty years ago, and I doubted his sincerity. I thought he was faking it to appease his wife, until he revealed that he survived five agonizing years of testicular cancer. I guess that'll change your perspective.
I've run into some writers on various message boards in the last few days that have me squinting at what they're writing. It's more difficult to tell over the Ethernet who's telling the truth and who's lying, but not all that much more difficult. Writers on message boards who repeatedly show up with a quip or relate a scenario in which they confronted just the type of person the thread is about, or experienced just the sort of extraordinary thing someone relates. In short, it's amazing how many people sound insincere on writer's message boards. They don't get called out most of the time, but I think 90% of us scoff at their posts. usually, it's someone who's a pretty good writer. If one is terrible, then it's usually so obvious that the person doesn't get away with it without being publicly ridiculed. But it's the ones who are decent writers, but not quite as good as they think they are who we all smirk at. yes, it's plausible, but if there were as many strong and intuitive people in the world as there pretend to be on message boards, this world would be quite different. I think a good writer has to be willing to divulge the truth about himself, his own lack of experience in many realms. Because, invariably, there will be things out there we know little about. No use in lying about it.

If it will get me a free trip to Australia, I'll come down there and tell 'em it's no good and needs to be euthanized........
Arguing with your Boss is like wrestling with a pig in
After a while you realize that while you are getting
dirty, the pig is actually enjoying it.
It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it
creative problem solving.
25 years ago we had Bob Hope , Steve Jobs , and Johnny Cash today we have no Hope no Jobs and no Cash !
I can fix broke but i can't fix stupid !
It's pretty hot and humid down here right now. 95 degrees and about 80% RH. A nice storm is brewing up. I'm not Australian anyway.....
A problem shared is a problem halved
I remember a YT years back, R123, that had refrigerant that was a greeninsh tint. Thought the tubes were coming apart, but copper numbers in oil were low. sounds like you have an issue there alright. I wonder if the humidity in the plant caused what you are seeing, if they left chilled water flowing and no drop light in the shell while open, it is definately trouble, but you are seeing something severe. Could a cleaning agent (degreaser) cause this? randy is right, eductors need to be cleaned and inspected.I'll tell you what I did one time, and I know it will sound excessive and in no way is it anything I have heard from York, but I have bench tested the eductors before. I took a brand new eductor out of the box and piped up nitrogen as the motive force, and attached a gauge to the induced vacuum area and marked what I had. at 10 pounds nitrogen, I induced a 6.5 to 7 inch vac. Had an old one that when I cleaned it, only did about 3 inches. I canned it and went with the new one. Klove put out some good tips on these issues and I would lean on what he says.
In my opinion, the refrigerant color and the oil return issues are two independent issues. I dont know what kind of labs you have in Aussie, but if possible I think you would want analysis. If you find high iron in that oil, you are pegged dead to rights internal rust. Could you even let a sample of that refrigerant sit out for a while and see what remains after it evaporates?
Good luck
I agree 100% that these are 2 different issues.
On Monday I am going to get an oil analysis done and go from there. Thanks for all the excellent tips. I'll keep you posted....
When was the last time an eddy current was done? Is the cdw or chw pressure higher than the machine? Could also be a tube issue.
I have no idea, as I only have seen the machine this week. In my estimate probably never.
anyway to get the R123 analyzed as well?
Apparently it was done already and found to be acceptable

Campus News and Notes
by Annie Valkema '88
The Walldorf Temperance Hotel, built circa 1890 by George Walldorf, first served as a central boarding house for visitors and guests to the area. Donated by Eleanor Woodhead to Houghton College in 1923, Walldorf was immediately put into service housing students; at times college students and at times Houghton Academy students. Through each decade, there are scores of alumni who fondly remember Walldorf as their home away from home.
In the '70s, female students stayed in Walldorf due to overcrowding in the dormitories. In the '80s, male students lived in Walldorf, a popular hangout spot on weekends. In the '90s, female students remember Walldorf as a place to live and share in community.
During the 2013 Homecoming festivities this October, the college dedicated the recently renovated Walldorf House as Houghton's new Alumni House. The alumni board had long shared a vision with the administration of returning Walldorf to a functioning, desirable showcase of Houghton's heritage. The dedication represented the culmination of a long-held vision to return this well-loved, but neglected, structure to the same luster given to it by so many positive memories.
Walldorf renovations were funded 100% by gifts from alumni, many with strong legacies at Houghton. A walk through the Alumni House will reveal to guests each family's chapter in the Houghton story. The first floor includes two guest suites, a parlor, conference room and reading room. The second floor includes four guest suites and a hospitality center.
Dan Noyes '93, executive director of alumni relations, comments, "The completion of the alumni house project illustrates the generosity and support of Houghton alumni toward their alma mater. We are excited that this house will serve as both a symbolic and very tangible home-away-from-home for our alumni, and that it will tell the stories of alumni families and the parts they have played and continue to play in the Houghton story."
The Alumni House will serve as a place for alumni to meet and to stay when visiting campus. Its primary purpose will be to host mini-reunions and affinity groups of Houghton alumni and to provide an additional housing option when housing is in high demand.
"We trust that the Alumni House will provide a tangible place of hospitality and connection," said Shirley Mullen '76, "that it will serve as a symbol of the worldwide network of invitation and empowerment that is the Houghton alumni connection."
The third annual faith and justice symposium, entitled "Global Poverty and Hunger: Unveiling the Connections, Seeking Solutions," was held on campus in September 2013. The symposium, a partnership between Houghton's Center for Faith, Justice and Global Engagement and Bread for the World, featured 17 speakers from around the world, including renowned activist, Eugene Cho. The speakers shared from diverse perspectives, emphasizing the interdisciplinary approach necessary for addressing hunger and poverty issues on local, national and global levels.
The Kerr-Pegula Athletic Complex continues to take shape. The baseball and softball teams were able to practice at their newly completed stadiums during the fall, while the field house excavation work was completed in October. The structural components of the facility were erected in November with a scheduled completion date set for late May 2014.
Tennis returned to Houghton this fall with the women's team playing a full schedule and the men's team playing two matches in preparation for a full slate of competition this spring. Men's soccer had one of its strongest seasons in recent years, going 15-4-1. Women's soccer was 13-5-1, volleyball 20-11 and field hockey 6-12 as of press time. Men's and women's cross country participated in the NCCAA National Championships in November. A highlight of the fall was volleyball head coach Nancy Cole registering her 300th career victory in early October.
Ndunge Kiiti '88 attended the Calvin College Nagel Institute's seminar on "Evangelical Christianity and Social Change in Brazil." (Manaus, Rio de Janeiro, and Brasilia, Brazil)
Ted Murphy was a selected participant in the Council for Independent Colleges' faculty seminar, "Dutch Art, Patrons, and Markets," focused on consideration of teaching European art in context. (Atlanta, Ga.)
Mark Yuly travelled to Japan as an invited participant in the CCCU faculty seminar, "Nuclear Weapons and Our Globalizing Century: A Multidisciplinary Challenge for the Christian Academy." (Osaka, Kyoto, Nagasaki, and Hiroshima, Japan) Dr. Yuly also attended the 20th International Conference on Cyclotrons and their Applications in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, as an invited speaker.
David Davies '01 attended the College Music Society International Conference in Argentina, at which one of his compositions was performed by his wife, Carrie (Blythe '01) Davies. (Buenos Aires, Argentina)
Jillian Sokso was awarded a residency at Virginia Center for the Creative Arts October 16-31, 2013. (Amherst, Va.)
Dr. Scott E. McClelland began as the new dean of extension studies in October 2013. McClelland's role in this position is to strategically manage Houghton's non-residential Buffalo Associate of Arts program, Houghton Adult Education and Houghton Online Education. He comes to Houghton from Delray Beach, Fla., where he served as executive director and associate dean of Trinity International University's Florida campus. McClelland states, "As dean of extension studies, I hope to participate in expanding the mission of Houghton College, and the quality education provided here, to a broader number of students beyond the scope of our residential campus. I'll be learning from many here who have created the rich legacy of the Houghton College community, to develop ways we can capture the core of what makes Houghton such a special place, and carefully try to replicate those principles in adult education, online programs and our new Houghton College Buffalo initiative."

I was recently looking through the analytics on the "Addicted to Redemption" blog and noticed some interesting statistics. One would think that the most popular blogs on the Jewish Journal would be about Torah, Israel, and the state of modern morality—but this is not the case.
The most popular entries have been about sex and marijuana—pop culture topics that I had thought would get the most traction on other Internet forums, but not necessarily on the website of a newsletter designed for the Jewish community.
I want to know why. Why do these topics stir our attention and grab our focus while discussions of Torah lay by the wayside? Maybe we are not so different from everyone else. Maybe enlightened readers fiend for instant gratification just as much as gossip column junkies. I wonder— what are the most popular articles in The Economist, The Wall Street Journal, and The New Yorker? Do they follow this same trend?
I am not exempt. I am certainly more likely to read a blog that has a picture of a marijuana leaf than one with an image of Moses hoisting two stone tablets, but I thought that I might be the exception rather than the norm.
Why are you reading this blog? Is it because you thought it would be about sex and drugs? Be honest…I'm not a harsh critic.

Living with Rett, longing for a cure: Scarborough parents hope experimental hormone will help their daughter
SCARBOROUGH — Mornings are a slow process for Annie Nee.
The 10-year-old Wentworth Intermediate School student is helped out of bed and through the typical morning routine by her mother and an in-home nurse.
She is placed in a wheelchair, where she remains for much of the day. Breakfast can take more than an hour and, if it doesn't go well, she'll have to take extra nutrition through a feeding tube.
Annie has Rett syndrome, a physically disabling neurological disorder caused by a sporadic mutation in a gene known as MECP2. Part of the autism spectrum, Rett syndrome primarily affects girls, and results in a regression of gross and fine motor control.
For Annie, that means the inability to meaningfully control her body. Rett is also marked by unpredictable and uncontrolled breathing patterns that for Annie sometimes result in painful stomach aches from swallowed air and dangerously low blood-oxygen levels. In worst-case scenarios, complications from the disorder can lead to death.
Annie loves music, school and other children, but she cannot speak, or even cry. She requires near-constant "top-to-bottom" care, according to her mother.
But exciting developments in the search for a cure give Annie's parents, Dickie and Katie Nee, a measured hope that one day Annie may lead a more normal life.
In 2007, a breakthrough genetic treatment in lab mice showed that major symptoms of Rett syndrome could be reversible. In August, Annie joined 12 other little girls at Children's Hospital Boston to begin testing a hormone treatment shown to fight Rett syndrome in lab mice.
'We didn't want to believe it'
Annie was born a normal, healthy girl, Katie Nee said.
"She smiled very early," Nee said last week. "She was a very happy, good baby. A typical, normal baby."
But when Annie was about a year old, her parents began to notice something wasn't right.
Annie wasn't meeting developmental milestones the same way their six other children had. Because she was the youngest child, family members often made excuses for her lack of progress.
"They said it was because she was picked up all the time, because everyone spoke for her," Nee said. "She was doted on."
A team from the state's Child Development Services came to assess Annie. They suspected she simply had developmental delays and recommended physical therapy. Annie started to walk at around 18 months, but in early 2003, the family's pediatrician told Katie and Dickie she suspected Annie had Rett syndrome.
"Dickie and I looked it up on the computer, but we didn't think that was it. We didn't want to believe it," Nee said.
Over time, the doctor's hunch was proved right. The development Annie had achieved with her therapists reversed, eventually leaving her speechless and unable to control her body.
Daily life
The Nees try to give Annie a normal life.
Most days, the bus picks her up at home and brings her to Wentworth, where she spends much of her day in special education and therapy. When possible, Annie is "mainstreamed," and joins the other students for art or music classes.
"She really thrives seeing other kids," Nee said. "The mainstreaming is so important for her."
Annie does have some motor control, but her limitations require immense patience. At school, Annie utilizes a "switch," a large button she can press to indicate "yes" or "no" to options presented to her.
"It takes a while, but she can eventually hit what she wants," Dickie Nee said. "You have to wait for her. In the morning, you can ask if she wants an egg or toast, and if you wait long enough, she'll focus on the one she wants."
But no matter what efforts are made to give Annie a normal life, there's always the fear of something going wrong.
Annie suffers from seizures, another symptom common with Rett syndrome. Between her condition and all her medical appointments, someone always has to be ready to take care of Annie, wherever she is.
Not long after Annie was diagnosed, Katie Nee quit her job at Unum to take full-time care of Annie and the Nees' second-youngest child, 15-year-old Coleman, who suffered brain damage after surgical complications when he was younger. Dickie kept his job as manager of Cavalry Cemetery in South Portland.
Life was made even harder when the Nees' oldest son, Seamus, died at age 19 in a car accident in April 2003, within weeks of Annie's diagnosis.
The combination of the two youngest children's medical conditions and the untimely death of Seamus was trying on his family, Dickie Nee said, but there wasn't much time to grieve or feel sorry for themselves.
"Sometimes we take a step back and look at it and just think, 'this is crazy,'" he said. "But we don't have time to think about it. We just have to deal with it."
A measured hope
In August, Annie was selected for the first round of testing a growth hormone that may help her live a more normal life.
In 2007, a scholarly paper was published describing how a British doctor using genetic engineering had successfully reversed many of the physical symptoms of Rett syndrome in lab mice. Simply put, Dr. Adrian Bird had created mice with an "on/off" switch for the MECP2 gene. When the gene was off, the mice showed Rett-like symptoms. When it was turned on, the symptoms went away.
"Mice normally live for a couple of years, and it was no different for our reversed mice," Dr. Adrian Bird told the Rett Syndrome Research Trust in a 2008 interview. "In other words, reversal of both male and female symptoms was very effective indeed."
In another study in 2009, MIT researchers showed that a growth hormone known as IGF-1, which is commonly used to treat underdeveloped children, could make up for a deficit a lack of MECP2 gene expression. According to the Feb. 2009 edition of MIT Tech Talk, the treatment led to a restoration in underdeveloped brain cells and reversed some of the Rett-like symptoms.
Doctors and researchers at Boston Children's Hospital hope the treatment will work as well for children with Rett syndrome as it did on the mice.
The Nees spent much of August in Boston while Annie underwent toxicity testing, which gradually increased the hormone dosage over three weeks to ensure there were no dangerous side effects.
After watching videos of the Rett mice before and after gene treatment, the Nees are cautiously optimistic the hormone will help their daughter.
"In the video, the mice are wringing their hands, they have weak muscles," Dickie Nee said. "After they give them the growth hormone, the hand wringing went away, the muscle tone came back. It's just wild."
The Nees said that while they're optimistic the hormone will help some, more needs to be done to ensure scientists and doctors have the resources they need to find a cure.
"We just want to help get the word out," Dickie Nee said. "They almost have an answer to curing this. The only thing to stop them is money."
In January, Annie will start a full treatment for five months. Annie parents dream of an all-out cure, but if there's one thing they wish, aside from good health, it's to be able to have a conversation with their daughter.
"Communication is more important than anything," Katie Nee said. "If I could just know how she feels, what she wants to do."

2013 Annual Report
Our designation as a statutory teaching hospital officially recognizes the Cancer Center as a primary training site for future physicians who will serve throughout the spectrum of oncology-related specialties. Our contribution to the education of future oncology physicians is very important, considering the shortage of oncology physicians that is predicted in future years. As a direct benefit to the citizens of Florida, many of the trainees from our oncology training programs remain in the state to practice following completion of their training at Moffitt.
Q: How does Moffitt contribute to the field of medicine – and cancer care in particular – through its resident physician programs?
A: We have the largest oncology fellowship in the state, and we have more oncology fellowships than any of the other institutions. Graduates from our residencies and fellowships are placed in academic jobs and private practices throughout the state and beyond.
Q: Which Moffitt clinical programs have resident physicians and in what areas of oncology are the resident physicians trained?

Ubuntu Tweak is every newbie Ubuntu user's closest companion and we have already seen how Ubuntu Tweak is slowly evolving into one among the must have installation candidates for Ubuntu in our Ubuntu Tweak review. And with the new mockup UI, the next phase of development for Ubuntu Tweak has only started.
Ubuntu Tweak 0.6 Mockup UI
Ubuntu Tweak 0.5.7 was released days ago and along with the release, Ubuntu Tweak developers have announced that they have already started working on the new UI design for Ubuntu Tweak based on the Ubuntu Tweak mockup shown above. Some key points of the new design,
- There will be a new toolbar to switch between main category of functions, and the sub-functions will locate at the right-sidebar.
- The current welcome page will be replaced by a window showing different statistics of your Ubuntu desktop.
- Now has a new theme which integrates seamlessly with the default Ubuntu theme.
- Add option to set Terminal menubar.
- Removed "Auto Start Programs", since it is a duplicate feature of GNOME Session application.
- A lot of PPAs has been added and updated for Ubuntu 10.10 including the ones like Hotot Twitter Client.
- Ubuntu Tweak 0.5.7 can be downloaded from here.

NORMAN — City council and mayoral candidates sparred over public safety issues during a Monday public forum, the first of two set before an April 2 election.
Norman candidates debate public safety issues
Running for mayor are incumbent Cindy Rosenthal, 62, David Kempf, 51, and Tom Sherman, 67.
Vying for ward seats are incumbent Roger Gallagher, 72, and Greg Heiple, 48, Ward 1; Lynne Miller, 67, and incumbent Dave Spaulding, 38, Ward 5; and Stephen Tyler Holman, 28, and incumbent Linda Lockett, 74, Ward 7.
Candidates will face off again at 6:30 p.m. March 28 at city hall, 201 W Gray St., in a forum sponsored by the League of Women Voters.
Tuesday's forum was sponsored by the Norman chapters of the Fraternal Order of Police and the International Association of Firefighters.
All the candidates expressed support for renewal of a seven-year public safety sales tax passed in 2008 to hire 30 firefighters and 41 police officers and build and equip two fire stations.
Candidates Sherman, Heiple and Kempf favored lowering the tax to a quarter-cent. Kempf said he preferred that the city pay for public safety services out of the general fund if possible, eliminating the tax altogether.
Heiple and Sherman said they favored making the tax permanent.
Rosenthal said she favors early renewal of the half-cent sales tax so newly hired firefighters and police officers don't have to worry their positions will be cut because the city can't pay their salaries.
Sherman said he favors lowering the tax to a quarter-cent because it would give taxpayers relief, while still providing funds for public safety officers. He also favors findings ways to increase the city's sales tax base.
"If there's a way to bring the cost of public safety back into the general fund, then we should do that first," Kempf said.
Kempf said police officers sometimes are misinformed about the law, and they infringe on personal liberties. He said people have a right to defend their homes, property and families.

Colchester chairman Robbie Cowling has reaffirmed his backing for manager John Ward.
Ward has come under fire from supporters following the recent four-match losing run which has seen the Us' play-off hopes virtually disappear.
But Cowling has been forced to cut the transfer budget at the Community Stadium and insists Ward is the right man to bring through youngsters instead.
"Achieving everything I want for Colchester United is going to take me a bit longer than I originally thought and to do so I need a manager who knows how to find and develop young talent and I need to give him time to do so," said Cowling.
"I am convinced John Ward is that man and he will be given plenty of time."

Round and Round
I truly have the most amazing readers!! I can't thank you all enough for your wonderful feedback and more importantly, your understanding. I was so torn up over my decision and you all really made me feel more at ease with myself. Having donated 10 inches of my hair two years ago I know how hard it can be to stay stagnant with your look. I know I will donate again in the future but at this time I really need to do something new. That being said, it looks like for sure that Rita Red is the winner! As some of you have mentioned I will probably have to go lighter in order to achieve that shade of red, so maybe I'll stay blonde for a bit or maybe I'll go straight to red. Either way, I'll be going to a salon so if anyone knows of a good (yet reasonably priced) one in either Royal Oak or Ann Arbor, please let me know!
