Which drawing stylus for ipad?
Finally got an ipad. Wondering what the stylus of choice is.
Should have been more specific. Looking for something along the lines of Dagi P506 or Adonit Jot Pro. In other words, fine tip used for illustration.

Here's a video comparison:
And an article:
I have the "Pogo" stylus, and find it too thick. Many of the styluses are like drawing with a piece of chalk instead of a pencil. The brushlike Nomad seems like a neat idea. I'm also curious about trying Wacom's one, since it's thinner than the Pogo.

Softel will feature its vFlex HD, a multipurpose ancillary VBI, VANC and graphics data processing unit for HD and SD broadcast applications, at IBC2009.
Complementing the vFlex SD and offering the same functionality, the vFlex HD provides a compact, single-unit solution for multichannel configurations and complex multievent cuing and opting, enabling network operators to service client demands for flexible regional broadcasting and targeted advertising.
The vFlex HD encodes, decodes, re-encodes and regenerates VBI content, including widescreen signaling, video programming system, cuing, Teletext, subtitling, video index and PDC signals.
This gives broadcasters and network operators the flexibility to implement and integrate new services, reusing the original source ancillary data or accurately inserting replacement data. Support for OP47 and SMPTE 2031 encoding and decoding for HD-SDI means that vFlex HD can insert subtitling and other information services into the HD video path.

This was my very first eyeshadow palette. I was new to makeup, and I went to Target to buy some makeup. I went to the Covergirl section, and found this wonderful eyeshadow Trio. Even the name "Shimmering Sands" sounds wonderful! It reminds me of the beach. I will DEF repurchase this product!

Dang!!!! So disappointed in this! After seeing so many youtube videos and reviews on this classic trio,
I finally picked it up… No Bueno… Perhaps they have changed the formula recently? I find this to be not very pigmented, a bit gritty and I need to scrub on it/use a colored primer (tried with Milani eye primer than NYX jumbo pencil in Yogurt) to get it to show up well enough and pack on a few layers. What the heck? So disappointed since I see so many rave reviews. Back to the store it goes..

I don't get the hype with this. The colors aren't pigmented...The highlight shade is really pretty but the two darker browns are not great.

I usually favor high end brands, however, on a random whim I purchase this set. This is no an Elizabeth Arden set but works well enough in a tight pinch to the local farmers market.

I began buying this exact palette ten years ago, if that tells you anything. I have used up SEVERAL. These shades are perfect. (Yes, pigmented. Ignore anyone who says otherwise. Use a primer if your skin tone is tricky. Makeup 101.) This has gotten me through everything from a pin-up photo shoot with red lips to being a cheerleader for the Wichita Thunder to everyday swipe and go. I even use the lightest shade as my go-to highlighter for other shadows.

I am honestly kind of confused at all of the positive reviews on here. I love drugstore makeup and a lot of companies are doing better and better with their eyeshadows... But I feel like cover girl has not caught up with the program. These shadows literally had almost no pigment to them. It took 3-4 layers of each color to get it to show up on my FAIR skin (no exaggeration) there is no contrast in this palette either! The colors get about half a shade darker as you go through the palette. (Which is honestly ridiculous considering you are supposed to use these shadows differently...) also it's not shimmery, it's just pure frost. And this makes all the colors even more identical. I threw this palette away. I tried so hard to like it but every time I would put it on, I took it off immediately because I just hated very look I came up with!! (I could only come up with 2 look by the way:/ ) Please do your self a favor and try wet and wild. You are paying even less to get quality similar to high end shadows.

This trio is holy grail for me, I'm too cheap to buy a naked palette, and these offer a wonderful nude look for about $4. The colors, although natural in tone offer just the right amount of shimmer and generally last well, although I would suggest primer to keep them from blending together. I highly, highly recommend these.

Incident at a Corner
Episode Reviews (1)
A kindly old school crossing guard is accused of unspeakable acts regarding schoolgirls.
I remember seeing this episode when TV Land aired it in the 1990s, with some fanfare. Paul Hartman plays a kindly but "officious" (that is an important word in the episode's plot) old school crossguard who runs afoul of the local PTA president when he reprimands her for for careless driving at the crosswalk. When he is anonymously accused of what is essentially pedophelia, he is dismissed from his job and branded as a dirty old man. His daughter has a boyfriend (George Peppard) who is the real hero of the story, as he goes to bat for the old man, and takes up the investigation into the accusation's source. The initial target of his probe is the PTA president. Meanwhile, a local woman who remembers the crossguard from another town during her school days fears that he will expose her for an act of youthful indiscretion. Could she be the one spreading the ugly rumors? It is not about idle gossip, but carefully orchestrated character assassination.moreless

Facets CinemathequeRead MoreA nonprofit theater helmed by passionate cinephiles, Facets Cinematheque instills a love of film in its youngest moviegoers through its groundbreaking children's programs. Since establishing their first children's film exhibition series in 1975, the theater's stewards have branched out into education and outreach, introducing students to positive films and the inspiring stories behind them through channels including family film events, in-school screenings, and the Facets Kids Film Camp. They also oversee the Chicago International Children's Film Festival, which presents hundreds of films from around the globe during its annual autumn run. Though the festival caters to its smallest attendees, its scope is impressively large; welcoming over 20,000 attendees each year, the festival often offers the first screenings of award-winning fare, such as recent Academy Award winner The Fantastic Flying Books Of Mr. Morris Lessmore. In addition to their children's programming, the theater also lights up its silver screen with indie films, award winners, foreign flicks, and documentaries. Celluloid-caretakers curate a collection of reels that seldom see screenings elsewhere in Chicago, frequently enjoying their city debut within the intimate 125-seat theater. Occasionally, production-team members or film experts join audiences immediately following the show for Q&A sessions—known as film dialogues—taking questions, exploring themes, and providing tips for removing stubborn popcorn kernels from teeth. Upcoming films can be found on Facets' website. Eyeballs absorb moving pictures thanks to the dual capabilities of Facets' projection system, which handles digital and 35 mm films with equal aplomb. While the ephemeral stories fill brains with new ideas, soda and popcorn—acquirable at the old-fashioned concession stand—fill mouths with flavors that have defined every classic moviegoing experience since Orson Welles first invented the snack.1517 W Fullerton Ave.Chicago, IL US
The Comedy Shrine TheaterRead MoreWhile audiences laugh it up at the rib-tickling comedians, Morty's slick performance space entertains their eyes. Eschewing the dowdy aesthetic of many comedy clubs, Morty's features sleek, modern tables and chairs and a wood-paneled bar. A full menu of tasty food, meanwhile, quells hunger while drinks and craft beers cool tongues and help keep people from spontaneously combusting.4034 Fox Valley Center Dr.Aurora, IL US
Arthur Murray Dance Studio Rockford/MadisonRead MoreArthur Murray Dance Studios has been a leading name in social dance since 1912, when the entrepreneur began selling mail-order dance lessons. Expanding his reach, he enlisted teachers to spread his signature dance lessons on first-class steamships and skyrocketed to fame in the '30s after introducing the public to such dances as the Lambeth Walk and the Big Apple. By the 1950s, Arthur and his wife, Kathryn, were hosting their own highly popular TV show on ABC, the Arthur Murray Dance Party, which ran for 12 years. Today, Arthur Murray's team prepares students for rug cutting at special events and weekend nightclub jaunts. Clients who arrive to lessons partnerless will be paired up with certified instructors. Throughout lessons, instructors teach the foundations of two to four dances from a long list of styles that range from Latin to country-western, helping students to learn basic step patterns, timing, and the ability to lead or follow.7326 N Cherryvale Mall Dr.Rockford, IL US
CLS Fantasy Camp or Sprint CupRead MoreAmid the echoes of squealing tires and humming engines, the grandstands barely have a moment to enjoy any silence. That's because the facility plays host to big ticket racing events such as O?Reilly Auto Parts Route 66 NHRA Nationals, Hollywood Casino Joliet Route 66 Classic, Rockett Brand Racing Fuel ET Bracket Series, and the annual Swap Meet. At the Dirt Oval, fans can satisfy their auto-crunching desires with events such as Monster Truck Mayhem and Team Demolition Derby. Not limited to spectator races, Route 66 Raceway puts fans' racing pedal to the metal at over 40 drag strip events. Test & Tune events allow thrill seekers to burn a little rubber by racing their own vehicles, while Friday Nights at 66 have trained staff teach prospective dragsters the ropes of racing.500 Speedway BoulevardJoliet, IL US
Hollywood Palms A Cinema BarRead MoreHollywood Palms Theater, modeled after Hollywood Boulevard and the legendary Chinese Theater, engages moviegoers with its opulent design, a restaurant and bar, and seat-by-seat service. Winning praise from myriad press outlets, the movie house boasts nine distinctive auditoriums, each dressed to a cinematic theme, including Coconut Grove and The Rainbow Room. Within the confines of each theater, rows of high-backed leather chairs comfortably cradle bodies, while the latest Dolby surround sound swathes ears in the tummy rumbles of on-screen actors. An attentive wait staff takes orders throughout films from an extensive menu that includes burgers, sandwiches, pizzas, beer, wine, and cocktails.352 S Route 59Naperville, IL US
Innovation Arts and EntertainmentRead MoreSince 1993, Cirque Dreams' family-friendly variety extravaganzas have called upon a cast of acrobats, strongmen, and daredevils to wring the oohs and aahs out of audiences with tremendous feats of derring-do. During each themed production, more than 100 performers garbed in dazzling outfits twirl high in the air, contort their bodies into impossible shapes, and solve long division problems to earn uproarious applause from the crowd. At Dream Studios in Pompano Beach, Florida, hundreds of contracted artists from around the world develop their skills and prep for Cirque Dreams performances under the direction of Neil Goldberg and his team of choreographers, contortionists, and designers.One University PlazaSpringfield, IL US

Chat with Adam Rubin
Welcome to ESPNNewYork.com! On Thursday, New York Mets writer Adam Rubin will stop by to take your baseball questions.
Rubin has covered the Mets since 2003. He's a graduate of Mepham High School on Long Island and the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. He joined ESPNNewYork after spending 10 years at the New York Daily News.
Send your questions now and join Rubin Thursday at noon ET!

Adam Rubin (11:26 AM)
I'm planning to attend Keith Hernandez's 11:45 a.m. mustache shaving outside the Jackie Robinson Rotunda at Citi Field. Please stand by. We may start a couple of minutes late.
Adam Rubin (12:07 PM)
Thanks for your patience. I'll be around in a minute. Just need to load the Keith Hernandez photos ...
Mike (Philly)
What big-name free agents might be on the market after the 2013 season that the Mets could potentially pursue? (Seeing as they'll have money from Bay and Santana's contracts freed up)
Adam Rubin (12:10 PM)
Thanks for waiting. As you may have noticed, the Mets' payroll is expected to be comparable in 2013 -- in the $95 million range. Because of that, it's not anticipated they would pursue any major free agent this offseason.
Dexter (PDX)
With Wright, Tejada and Murphy all hitting around .300 and Ike's 30 HRs is it crazy to think that one more big bat in the center of the lineup makes the 2013 offense more competitive?
Adam Rubin (12:13 PM)
The Mets need an entirely new outfield. I'm not sure they're just one bat away. They need to address catcher, too.
Zito (New Haven CT)
Your personal thoughts on Dickey for Cy Young?
Adam Rubin (12:13 PM)
It's certainly going to be a fascinating vote. I can't predict how it's going to turn out, but he and Gio Gonzalez, I imagine, will be very close. I have a feeling if/once R.A. gets to 20, he's got to be the favorite.
Chris Fiegler (Latham,NY)
When do you think that we will se a New York Mets player have over 3,000 Hits?
Adam Rubin (12:14 PM)
It certainly could be David Wright. As long as he signs an extension with the Mets. One of the biggest reasons why Ed Kranepool held the record was because of longevity. The Mets haven't had many lifelong players.
Zito (New Haven CT)
IMO - I would trade Wright, Ike, and Santana next year. Why rebuild with them. Stock up on grade A pitchers. Thoughts?
Adam Rubin (12:15 PM)
Santana is a different category. He's owed $31 million with 2014 buyout and cannot be traded.
Zito (New Haven CT)
Let's go Dickey!!!! that.is.all.
Adam Rubin (12:15 PM)
Duly noted.

I think I'm getting off easy today. Thanks for joining me. And sorry for the delay.

Having a signed contract is important, whether you can enforce it or not. Other than that, logging your code in a version control system may help you.
Use version control system (SVN/GIT) for your projects, commit everything you code there. When things go wrong, you then have a proof of your authorship for the codes you've done.May be you could then file a DMCA and hope to get the product removed at least from ThemeForest.
It seems there is a confusion. I as a developer want to upload my coded template/theme (based on other party's design) to ThemeForest. Now, if designer breaches the agreement and doesn't allow me to upload the coded work here for sale, what I can do? because even if I upload the template/theme he can get it removed easily through DMCA wrongfully stating that he had no agreement with me to sale template/theme based on his/her design.
VisualSharing said
Why not simply get a lawyer to write a small contract/agreement?
Mike Monteiro: F*ck You, Pay MeBest of luck in the future,
— Boris
I don't feel I need to hire a professional lawyer to get the contract written. As suggested by Medians, there are plenty of contracts available online which can be used with some modifications. That's not a big issue.
Here the issue is, how can I make any such contract enforceable in most feasible manner? Because if in order to enforce such contract I'll need to spend plenty of money in court proceedings it might be best to just let it go.
ReaxionGraphics said
Get whatever contract you want, but if you can't afford to pay a lawyer to litigate it in court, then paying a lawyer to do up a contract is a waste too, and this isn't even taking into consideration your partnership may be international under different laws…
That's the issue here, I was wondering if there is any alternative way to make such contracts enforcible.
Smartik said
Work with professionals and nice people, not with everyone.
First chat on skype, see if it is a nice guy. See if it has been worked before as a designer, what it has done before. Ask him to do a task for you. For example extract the thumbnails from the PSD design. If it will agree to do that immediately, then it is responsible, but if you are needed to explain why should it do this, then this does not look like a good partnership.BTW. You can see from start if the partnership will be successful or not, by talking with him. Ask him various thing and if you enjoy the conversation, work with him.
Thanks for the reply. Although I do agree that analyzing your prospective partner's previous work and behavior will substantially reduce the risk factor in your collaboration, but what I'm talking about is sort of a legal point of view.
Some measures, which both parties can take in order to secure themselves, just to be on safe side e.g. may be some sort of digital contract or something else, and how that would be enforceable?
I asked the same question to Envato support. Their answer is quoted below:
According to our 'Author collaboration' guidelines we cannot get involved in any dispute or issues: https://help.market.envato.com/hc/en-us/articles/202500254-Author-Collaboration Our recommendation regarding your question about the agreement is to seek out a contract written by your local legal council.
As expected Envato will not entertain any such agreement. Now, what is the best way to secure yourself in such collaboration? What most of the people here do mostly?
Normally when a theme supports AJAX functionality there is an option in the backend to disable it. Contact the theme author, he/she can better guide you in this regard.
Well, that's a shame. Flexbox is a pretty powerful module. I was under the impression that IE-9 supports it using -ms prefix, but it doesn't seem the case here. Nevertheless, thanks for your reply.
I was looking at CSS flex box property. Meanwhile, I came across this grid system (http://flexboxgrid.com/) based on flexbox. I want to know if anybody is using this grid in their themes for ThemeForest or is it not wise to implement this grid at this stage?
First of all, I understand that collaboration agreement should be based on mutual trust. But here is a scenario, In collaboration of a designer and a coder on ThemeForest, designer is secured in a way that he/she can submit a request to Envato to takedown coded design uploaded through coder's account.
Now AFTER collaboration agreement through email. If designer disappear altogether or he/she simply don't allow coder to upload the coded item unless some conditions are met (provided no such conditions were imposed before making the agreement previously).
At this step, coder is vulnerable to any type of blackmailing from designer's end.
My question is, how a coder can secure himself from such situation? As I don't feel Envato will entertain screenshot's of email agreement.
I wanted to know what system different authors use for calculating partners commission at month's end. Currently, I'm calculating manually. But if I've collaborated with a lot of authors, manual process seemed cumbersome.
1: I've no team mate. However, I've worked on a WordPress theme in collaboration with another author (designer). I like one of his template here on TF and I myself contacted him, offering to convert his tumblr template to WordPress theme.
2: Be honest with others in dealing, but always protect your interest. During my collaboration, we both decided the terms of collaboration and then I started coding the WordPress theme. After one month, when I've done coding and was ready to submit the theme. My fellow author (designer) raised some concerns regarding copyright of his work and he stopped me to submit the WordPress theme until his concerns are answered by Envato support center.
As logically if he had such concerns, all such issues should've been discussed by him before allowing me to start working on this project, I also got worried. Because if my fellow author (being original designer) doesn't allow me to upload the WordPress theme, all my work of one month is going to waste. But fortunately, it went out just fine.
3: Some authors sign a digital contract, but I'd relied only on email records.
4: Simple email for communication
5: I uploaded WordPress theme from my account. So, no issue of sharing account.

Aliases for MESP2 Gene
Aliases for MESP2 Gene
External Ids for MESP2 Gene
- Entrez Gene: 145873
- Ensembl: ENSG00000188095
- UniProtKB: Q0VG99
Summaries for MESP2 Gene
This gene encodes a member of the bHLH family of transcription factors and plays a key role in defining the rostrocaudal patterning of somites via interactions with multiple Notch signaling pathways. This gene is expressed in the anterior presomitic mesoderm and is downregulated immediately after the formation of segmented somites. This gene also plays a role in the formation of epithelial somitic mesoderm and cardiac mesoderm. Mutations in the MESP2 gene cause autosomal recessive spondylocostal dystosis 2 (SCD02). [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]
GeneCards Summary for MESP2 Gene
MESP2 (Mesoderm Posterior Basic Helix-Loop-Helix Transcription Factor 2) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with MESP2 include spondylocostal dysostosis 2 and spondylocostal dysostosis, autosomal recessive. Among its related pathways are Cardiac Progenitor Differentiation. GO annotations related to this gene include sequence-specific DNA binding transcription factor activity and protein dimerization activity. An important paralog of this gene is MESP1.
UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot for MESP2 Gene
Transcription factor with important role in somitogenesis. Defines the rostrocaudal patterning of the somite by participating in distinct Notch pathways. Regulates also the FGF signaling pathway. Specifies the rostral half of the somites. Generates rostro-caudal polarity of somites by down-regulating in the presumptive rostral domain DLL1, a Notch ligand. Participates in the segment border formation by activating in the anterior presomitic mesoderm LFNG, a negative regulator of DLL1-Notch signaling. Acts as a strong suppressor of Notch activity. Together with MESP1 is involved in the epithelialization of somitic mesoderm and in the development of cardiac mesoderm

This can be the first day of the rest of your life, too. Run, don't walk.
Cristen T.
There is always a variety of things I can choose from when I visit because their menu changes.
if I want to show off Portland's amazing variety of excellent food, my visiting friends and/or family will love this place.
Jenny C.
Yes, these waffles are better than yo momma's waffles.
Cheryle R.
Based on all of the reviews for this place I expected something delicious but this was off the charts.
Hion L.
I am not sure if I am isolated in feeling this way, but the waffles here are so visually and sense-sually stimulating, that the sheer anticipation of eating them is an enjoyment in itself.
Travis S.
If you like waffles, and love it when someone combines ingredients to make a party-in-your-mouth then you will definitely enjoy the waffles here.
Don't think Denny's, think Martha Stewart meets a waffle.
