Research Interests
Our research focuses on mechanistic and structural studies of enzymes involved in the bacterial catabolism of aromatic and halogenated compounds. The specific enzymes examined under study are found in the tautomerase superfamily and the fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase (FAH) superfamily. In addition to advancing our general understanding of enzyme mechanisms, these studies provide insight into how enzymes evolve and how new activities emerge. It has become incumbent upon us to understand this process due to the ever-increasing prevalence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and other drug-resistant organisms such as M. tuberculosis. Although there are several strategies for overcoming resistance (synthesis of new compounds, identification of new targets, inhibition of enzymes conferring resistance), a better understanding of how these new activities evolve in the first place might suggest some alternative and more effective approaches.
These studies have led us in a number of different directions. Most recently, for example, we have identified a tautomerase superfamily member (designated TomN) in a biosynthetic pathway for one ring of the anti-tumor, tomaymycin. Tomaymycin is one of the pyrrolo[1,4]benzodiazepine natural products that includes anthramycin and sibiromycin. The C ring of tomaymycin is generated in five enzyme-catalyzed steps from L-tyrosine. The genes encoding these enzymes have recently been cloned and their functions tentatively assigned, but there is limited biochemical evidence supporting the assignments of the last three steps. We are currently characterizing the enzymatic and non-enzymatic chemistry in the pathway. The ultimate goal is to use these enzymes to generate new, more potent tomaymycin analogues that are synthetically inaccessible.

Hands up who wants to know what it's like to be at a hip hop festival in the Czech Republic? Hopefully a few of you, because Hip Hop Kemp is celebrating its 10th anniversary this August.
Held at Hradec Kralove, one of the Czech Republic's oldest cities, Hip Hop Kemp is a pretty big show. This year's line-up includes Mos Def, the legendary Madlib, boogie-funk pioneer Dam-Funk, Beat Junkies, Danny Brown, Foreign Beggars, Jean Grae, and so many more.
The other great thing about hanging out at a rap festival in Eastern Europe is the fact that you'll get a showcase of a bunch of local acts too.
All you have to do is buy a ticket and hop on a train for an hour and a half east of Prague and you'll be in hip hop heaven – in the middle of Eastern Europe. Not bad.
Hip Hop Kemp is on from August 16th to August 18th, more at hiphopkemp.cz.

1849-O 25C Good 4 NGC. Though well-circulated, this is a desirable example representing a key date. The mintage of the 1849-O is estimated at only 16,000 pieces. Its actual production number was rolled into the mintage for the 1850-O and thus the mintage figure is an educated guess. It is scarce in all grades, making this piece one of the more affordable options. Even wear and good color along with no surface marks worthy of mention provide this example with an attractive appearance. Census: 2 in 4, 32 finer (2/13).(Registry values: P8) (NGC ID# 23T3, PCGS# 5414)

It was a familiar routine. With wife, and soulmate of lifetime retired to her bed, George knew the protocol. However this evening would provide a slight deviation from the norm.
He broke the virginity of the Macallan 43 malt, with a respectful nod to acknowledge the craft and expertise of the "alchemist". A handful of ice cubes into the crystal glass laid the foundations of a simple, yet unbeatable combination.
He shuffled, assisted by his Prestige walking stick, over to the bottom drawer of the cabinet in "Georges Room" and from there he withdrew a simple cardboard box, designed to protect against the ravages of time. From within said box he then removed an old scrapbook carefully and expensively encased and preserved within a Melinex protective cover. Some things are valuable, but memories nonetheless are priceless.

Are rising oil prices hastening carbon free rail?
While high oil prices are good for bus and rail use, the pressure is on for the electric railway to become carbon neutral, says George Muir. But with the carbon intensity of UK?power generation set to rise, a lot more is needed
By George Muir
Whatever else it has done, the high oil price has certainly shone a spotlight on the advantages of public transport. Car travel flat, bus and rail up. The oil price is falling now, but don't relax; the price of electricity has just hit a new peak.
But do these high prices at least have the advantage of discouraging the use of carbon based fuels and are they hastening the time when the railway, like Eurostar, can offer passengers carbon neutral travel?

"A limitation with current immunotherapies is that every tumor expresses different protein antigens, which all need to be characterized," she explained. "It is difficult for the immune system to discriminate, to tell that cancer cells are 'non-self' and should be destroyed. What's nice about T-cells recognizing sugars and why it's so important in cancer is because the same molecules are uniquely expressed in a large variety of cancers." A cell that becomes cancerous begins making a variety of sugar molecules that are not expressed in normal adult cells, making this strategy potentially useful for wide-ranging treatments of different tumors. Her team is targeting a sugar that is expressed on all carcinomas, a type of cancer that begins in epithelial cells.
Studies in the first year of the grant are focusing on gathering further laboratory and preclinical data to show the vaccine's effectiveness. Franco is hoping to begin a clinical trial in the second year of the grant to test the vaccine on prostate cancer patients who have already had treatment but who are at extremely high risk for relapse. She sees the vaccine as being used to help prevent the spread of cancer (metastatic disease), and perhaps even in preventing cancer in healthy people.
"The beauty of this approach is that the same vaccine may prevent metastasis," she said, noting that tumor cells can use sugar or carbohydrate antigens to spread. "If ultimately proven successful, this could be used in a first attempt to try to address vaccination on a large scale to prevent cancer."
The same type of vaccine can potentially be used for breast, lung, liver, ovary and other carcinomas, Franco said. "If we can show that this system works in humans, we think that it can address a variety of tumors with the same sugar compounds." The vaccine's relatively simple formulation, stability and low production cost could make it ideal for use in developing countries, she added.

Style: Jujutsu, freestyle Karate--
I wasn't referring to anyone in particular with the sword comments. He may be able to take us both at once for all I know, though I doubt it. That's the thing with swords, it's really impossible to make an accurate assessment, short of a real shobu. I just think most of the koryu stylists have their head up their ass.
I wish to hell I could afford a couple sets of o-yoroi, and use blunted steel blades.
My shinai are totally shot, but I'm ordering some Ceylon bamboo(the thick kind) and some leather in a couple weeks. Fukuro shinai are really pretty easy to make with just simple hand tools. It looks like the end cost shouldn't be more than about 10 bucks a piece, plus a couple hours labor. Really, getting hit with one of them is only a little less painful than taking whacks with a bokken.
Ya know, I always hear that bokken aren't meant for sparring, but me and my friends have been playing with them for about 15 years. Worst that ever happened was a couple of broken fingers. I almost lost a hand in an industrial accident, plus I've got about 5 herniated discs. When you get that **** making minimum wage, martial arts suddenly doesn't seem all that risky anymore.
--Originally Posted by WunHungLo
I been playing with making one. However, I really been having trouble with the design and such. We have a bunch of Yagyu style Fukuro shinai at the dojo and I know how that feels. I still have scars on my hands.
I will PM you later, if you are coming down and you have the time. I would definately buy 2 off you. Expect a PM about it. :)
Yes most Ko Ryu guys are snobbish. I usually just ask them to spar. If they do, they learn to respect (unless they are THAT much better). If they don't spar then I know there no better then any other "too deadly to spar" martial artist.
I eat with chopsticks an awful lot actually. I got bet once I would use them or nothing for everything I ate for a month and I was off (The other half of the bet - no chinese food!) I'm not really one of "those guys" either. I just buy them along other disposable silverware.There's no choice but to confront you, to engage you, to erase you. I've gone to great lengths to expand my threshold of pain. I will use my mistakes against you. There's no other choice.

Thinking About Conversations.Submitted by Aldon Hynes on Tue, 02/05/2013 - 20:45
This afternoon, I read a blog post by David Weinberg, Are all good conversations echo chambers?. He was discussing a blog post by Bora Zivkovic, Commenting threads: good, bad, or not at all. They are both very good blog posts, well worth the read.
David spends a bit of time at the end of his post talking about theories of communication. In particular, David says
I presume that such a theory would include the notion... that conversations have aims, and that when a conversation is open to the entire world … those aims should be explicitly stated
When I talk to people about social media, I often talk about the aim. When doing social media for an organization, it is important to stay on task and make sure that the communications are inline with the organizations mission. Another key aspect to talk about is audience. Who are you communicating with? This includes understanding the motivations and abilities of your interlocutors.
On the other hand, I often talk about social media as a conversation at a party, or perhaps even at the office. It is one of the reasons I like tweets about what people had for breakfast. When I run into a friend, whether it be at work, at a conference, or wherever, I don't start off immediately with the topic I want to discuss. If I see David tomorrow, I'll probably start off by talking about how it's been a long time since I've seen him. Ask how things are going, maybe tell him a little bit about what has been going on in my life, before getting around to discussing his latest blog post.
Now you could say that part of the aim of such repartee is to strengthen rapport be the the participants. That is an aim of the beginning of a conversation. Yet it illustrates that the aim of a conversation may be very broad based and fluid.
Likewise, what is the aim of discussions around the dinner table? At the Hynes household discussions can be very wide-ranging. The aim of the discussions are perhaps primarily about having fun and enjoying one another's company. But there can be subservient aims, like learning something new or stimulating creativity.
I think this may fit into the research that Bora is writing about. The tone of the discussion in comments communicates the emerging aim of the comments. It may be for the sheer joy of flaming or troll baiting. It may be for the joy of learning something new or sparking creativity. Depending on how the comments are approached, the emerging aim may end up being closely in line with the aim of the person who wrote the blog post or vastly divergent.
With this, I want to come back to David's concern about echo chambers. It is why I've been talking about the roles of learning and creativity. Echo chambers seem to reinforce already established views as opposed to being an opportunity for learning or creativity. I'm not sure I know exactly what produces creativity, but it has always seemed to come from when very different ideas collide. We have some wonderful collisions like this around the dinner table, but I've rarely seen such collisions in echo chambers.
Will these ideas collide with those of David or Bora in any interesting way? That would be wonderful. If not, the simple joy of reconnecting virtually with some old friends might be a sufficient aim.
The Second ScreenSubmitted by Aldon Hynes on Sun, 02/03/2013 - 17:33
I don't watch a lot of television. If I do watch television, it is likely to be something on the Roku, most likely something from Netflix. I haven't yet watched 'House of Cards' on Netflix, but I'm hearing good stuff about it. It is interesting to see changes in who is producing video content.
When I do watch television, I like to do it as a social event and I've tweeted about various shows for years. Now, there are a growing number of 'second screen' apps and websites. I installed Zeebox on my phone quite a while ago, but have never ended up using it. Today, I tried to use it during the Animal Planet Puppy Bowl, but without any success.
The other day, I got an invitation to Tweet.TV Initially, I didn't find Animal Planet, but that was because it had me defaulting to some television system in Pennsylvania. When I configured it to my local cable company, Animal planet came up and I started tweeting about Puppy Bowl.
Tweet.TV has gamification. You score points for connecting, tweeting, etc. You can use these points to pick up deals or freebies, similar to Klout Perks. So far, none of the perks have really caught my attention.
So, as we approach the big game, we'll see what social media tools I'll use for my second screen. What are you using as a second screen during the big game?
Hacker, 2013Submitted by Aldon Hynes on Sat, 01/19/2013 - 08:11
For Allen Ginsberg and Aaron Swartz
I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness.
The angry fix they sought was far different from that of Ginsberg's friends.
These hipsters were typing something other than 'starry dynamo' into the search engines.
They were Google mapping the seats of power at midday, not the negro streets at dawn.
They were fighting a in new revolution, a revolution that would take their life and liberty.
A junkie with a knife can be scary. He'll take the cash in your pockets and rush off for his fix,
leaving you shaken as you walk home. But a hacker with a mission, now that is dangerous.
He will shake the very means of production and distribution, the economy you depend upon
to get that cash into your pockets.
It's all well and good when they take down an Arab dictator.
It's tolerable when they change the news media and political process, as long as it can be co-opted by the press and politicians.
But when they start threatening the profitability of the legal and academic presses in the greatest democracy of the world, they must be hounded, driven underground, labeled hacker and felon, until they kill themselves.
RIP AaronSubmitted by Aldon Hynes on Sat, 01/12/2013 - 19:59
"Some days it seemed like all there was was gray". With those words, Aaron Swartz started off a blog post about his relationship with Quinn Norton. This morning, I started off my blog post about driving to a funeral with, "It was a grey January morning as I climbed into my black 1997 Nissan Altima and headed north".
It seems appropriate that my RSS feed is full of posts about Aaron Swartz who help with the creation of RSS. The posts are by some of the bloggers I respect most, David Weinberger, Ethan Zuckerman, and Larry Lessig to name a few.
I don't have stories of meeting Aaron when he was 14 or of him staying at my house at some point. I'm not sure if I ever met him, but given our mutual friends and mutual interests, I suspect we probably met somewhere along the way.
Yet Aaron's death hits me hard. Perhaps it is because of the recent death of my mother and of my cousin. Perhaps it is because now, more than ever, we need people like Aaron fighting for open access to information on the internet, in the courts and in our government.
There is not much more to say than I am so sad.
Due Process and Alleged Copyright InfringementSubmitted by Aldon Hynes on Wed, 01/09/2013 - 10:19
Recently, there have been several articles about a suit brought by Capitol Records against Vimeo. Billboard's article, Big Record Labels Push Copyright Claims Against Vimeo talks about a recent decision in the Second Circuit
that an ISP had to have actual knowledge of specific infringements through takedown notices or something else before being required to remove copyright material expeditiously
MediaPost's article, Vimeo Argues Safe Harbor Protection In Copyright Case goes to talk about whether the alleged infringements are in fact infringements or are "fair use".
I think this brings up an important point. How does an ISP have "actual knowledge of specific infringements"? Is an allegation of infringement by copyright holder in a takedown notice sufficient? Should the creator of the derivative work be afforded due process in determining whether or not their work is in fact an infringement or is fair use?
I commented on the MediaPost article,
I applaud Vimeo for supporting due process and I hope an important precedent can be established in this case. As I understand the safe harbor law, when a company knows about an infringement, they need to take down the offending content. Unfortunately, many companies take down content, not when they know that it is infringing, but simply when someone alleges that it is infringing. By respecting due process, web platforms should wait to take down alleged infringing content until after it has been determined in the courts to in fact be infringing. Whether or not lip dubbing is fair use, Vimeo cannot know that the alleged infringing content is in fact infringing content until a judge rules on it. If all web platforms would be so responsible and wait until infringements are ruled upon in the courts, it would significantly deter the reckless allegations of many copyright holders.

Un Coup de dés jamais n'abolira le hasard is a visual poem by Stéphane Mallarmé, which exploits typography and the spacing of words on the page in order to create and enhance meaning – and, particularly, to open the poem up to different readings. The poem was first published in preliminary form in the review Cosmopolis in May 1897; preparation of the definitive edition of the poem, which was to be published by Ambroise Vollard (then known primarily as an art dealer), printed by Firmin Didot and accompanied by illustrations by Odilon Redon, was interrupted by the poet's death in 1898, leaving readers with a series of more or less accurate posthumous editions …

Great cover,great fit and delivered on time. What more can you ask for! I bought this to cover the car in the garage and expect it to last for years.
Reviewed By Richard C (Santa Barbara, CA) Reviewed for a 1985 Toyota Camry —6/18/2015 8:54 AM
Ordering the correct size is straightforward enough based on length of vehicle. This is confirmation for 80s sedans. The cover material and construction appear to be good. Our need is protection mostly from tree debris, not severe weather. I opted to remove the antenna rather than poke a hole & use the patch. The best part is my wife can remove/apply the cover herself. Elastic at cover edge makes snug fit; we'll see how many seasons that lasts.

I have been using this pack for a couple weeks now and cant find anything wrong with it! It's a fantastic pack! I have already notice a few trips where I don't even feel like I am carrying a pack at all. I really like the adjustable shoulder straps to accommodate my broad shoulders. And I recommend using the provide grease packet for your first trip out or the squeaky disc will drive you mad...thank goodness I had music to distract me! I also have to say the easily accessible space for a water bladder is great as well. I just placed an order for the waterproof pack cover! I am very impressed with Moosejaw and there amazing customer service!
85L is on the larger size of things but it needs to be that big for me to fit my other gears in while it's being checked on the airplane. The innovative load transfer disc on the back really does work and keeps you comfortable with a heavy load. When the bag isn't full I also found that it did a really great job of cinching up nice and tidy. Zippers run the full length of the pack meaning you can access it from the top to get to everything that has sunk to the bottom.
I've had this pack for about a year and love it! I take it everywhere. I really like the zippered side water bottle pockets (huge upgrade from mesh) and the U shaped zipper on the front which allows you to access all of your gear without messing it all up. this thing is huge though, if you're only into weekend trips size down to the 65L.

The colonial era is also ever-present at this resort, with pastel-colored colonial-style buildings and walkways. The central lobby is in a lush tropical enclosure filled with plants and a central water fountain. The hotel has three à la carte restaurants, including a main buffet and an Italian and a criollo restaurant. There are sports facilities galore here, as well as activities from pool games and entertainment to aerobics and nonmotorized water-sports like windsurfing, snorkeling, volleyball, and sailing.

I and my spouse went to the Blau Colonial between June 21-28, 2011 for a one week stay to celebrate minus the kids. After reading past reviews, I knew some of the negative comments could be completely unrealistic due to different expectations of the resort and what someone wants from there holidays. However, the resort and our stay at the Blau Colonial was simply fantastic! Better than expected and definitely value for money. Flights Flew from Toronto
with Sunwings. One of the worst organized flight we have been to. Couples were sitting separately and even kids were separate from at least one parent and people were moved around even after being given seats and boarding passes. Transfers Very well organized. A person was there to guide us to the bus as soon as we exited the airport. Once in the bus it took about 30 minutes before we departed as they were waiting for one person who took his sweet time exiting the airport. Please note do apply insect repellents before you exit the plane as you will be swarmed by the deadly neighbourhood mosquito gangs. LOL. Spouse was bitten on every exposed area- luckily had taken after bite with us in our hand bag. I quickly exchanged C$50 at the airport as I wanted to see what the exchange was. There are 2 places where you can do the exchange. First is just in between the departure door and the arrival doors while the second place is inside the departure area. I got 45.50 CUC. Arrival at Blau Colonial Just took 15 minutes to get to the resort. The person who was the official receiver in the bus spoke the whole way about Cayo Coco and the 15 minutes just flew by. As we were the first people in the bus our luggage came out last. Some resort staff were there to greet the regulars and it was nice to see this kind of welcome. While I was getting the bags out, my spouse went to the reception. I had requested an ocean view room on the third floor 2 weeks before we departed and our request was honoured. By the time I got there she already had the electronic keys to the room and the a-la-carte booking slips. I again exchanged another C$50 to see the difference between the airport and the resort and I got 45 CUC here. So there is not much difference. If you have time get the exchange done at the airport and if not get it done at the resort. They have a CADECA (bank) behind the reception area which I presume is open till 9 pm and once closed the resort reception does the transaction. Rooms The bell boy was ready near the reception to take our luggage to our room which was a distance from the reception. He put our luggage in an electric vehicle and we sat next to him. Within 7 minutes we were in our room. He carried our 2 bags for us to our room and that was the most tiring part. This is where I gave my first tip. He explained stuff related to our room to us and left us as there were other patrons to be tended to in the reception lobby. The room was beautiful with colonial styled bed and an up to date washroom. The bed consists of 2 double beds pushed together. The bed was neither too soft nor too firm. Perfect for a good night's sleep. Also present was a bottle of rum with a generic letter from the general manager addressed to us with timings of all buffet and grills that were open. The bar fridge was filled with a can of beer & a cola plus a bottle of water. Also ready was a coffee maker with cups and all necessary ingredients. Many people say the bathrooms need work with them in their reviews but all I can say that ours was in great shape. Cuba is not a rich country and I wasn't expecting a state of the art modern washrooms but what I saw was beyond my expectation. There was a shower, bath, toilet and biday, all very clean. Also there was a hair dryer and a phone in the washroom. Our hair dryer didn't work but as we were never going to use it I didn't care. Shower pressure was also good not weak as I had read in the reviews. The only tip I can give you here is that make sure you check the shower head is secured. It seems that the cleaning maid did a good job in cleaning the washroom but did not properly secure the shower head and while I was checking the hot/cold taps to set the temperature the shower head came hurling down to my head. That hurt so secure the shower head before you turn the water on. The shampoo and conditioner left in the washroom is not of the greatest quality so bring your own. Soap can be used to wash your hands but limit it to that. Moisturizing cream is too left for us. While taking a shower make sure the curtain edges are put inside the tub and press them. This will prevent water from flowing outside. First evening As the buffet would have closed in the next 35 mts we made our way to the buffet. The map was a little difficult to read so we just followed other patrons until we hit the pool and didn't know which way to turn. A quick question to a person enjoying her walk and we were then in the buffet at 9.35 pm. Even at that time the staff were ready to make a pasta sauce according to my taste but all we wanted was to eat some light food. Had some red guava, pineapple and some rice and we were done. We stopped by at the Salsa Cafe to see some entertainment and spent about 10 mts there before we decided to explore. We took the same path as we were driven to our room and figured out at least one route. We headed straight to the beach but it was too dark to see anything. With lightening in the distance and nothing much to do we decided to have an early night. Pool area The salt area pool was neatly kept and was cleaned for any crabs that might have fallen in the pool every morning. Life guards were everywhere. Showers are there to clean yourself and plenty of lounge chairs and umbrellas to protect you. Everyone is ready to assist you and talk to you. Kid's pool is in a separate area close to the buffet and the salt water pool has an area which is meant for kids and is quite shallow. The fresh water pool was still under renovation. Beach Could see staff cleaning the beach from our balcony but the weeds would keep coming in. There was too much garbage left behind by tourists who litter the beach and the staff try to keep up with cleaning it. They were always patching the huts with fresh palm leaves and would appreciate it if you can get them a drink from the beach bar. There are people who sell coconut water with rum for 3 CUC on the beach. On a busy day like weekends make sure you reserve the chairs in the morning otherwise you will have the chair but not under a shade. Grounds Gardeners make sure the place is well maintained with beautiful plants everywhere. There is a pond which houses 2 ducks, a few turtles and lots of koi and goldfishes. Every evening insecticide is sprayed to keep the grounds free of mosquitoes. Staff Blau has some wonderful staff that touches your heart. One of the best bar man I have ever met is Liber who works in the main lobby. Kathy who works with him is a jewel of a person and Saily who is a student makes the best 'mojito' you can drink. Then there is Edulida and Yunia at the buffet. Edulida always kept the table clean and was always there if we needed something. Yunia knew that we didn't eat pork and made sure that no pork came close to our omelette. Then there is Ricardo who always helped no matter where he was as a server. One of the gardeners' Yemini would always help you get the coconuts from the tree and cut it for you. A lot of people never tipped him but he would still never say no to anyone. Also Dayami, Tito and Michel in Public relations were always there to assist you or to give you company. Jackie at the main reception is always helpful. Kelly and her entertainment team were great. Just as all fingers are not same there are some staff that would be obnoxious and rude. Just look beyond them. A lot of staff especially life guards and gardeners would hit on girls and woman. My spouse was hit on so many times that she laughed it out. They all wanted to marry any girls they could lay their eyes on! lol. Ariel the Sunwing rep is a wonderful man and will help you with tips on where you can save money and what can be done. The maid kept the room nice and clean and if we wrote a note for her there would be a thank you note written for you. Food Food is not the best but every attempt is made at the buffet to please your taste. A-la-carts are not all the same. We hated the food at the sea food place but loved the Caribbean and Italian place. It's just a hit and miss at the restaurants. Sometimes there was no fish or sometimes no beef. As it was off season all the dinners were at the Italian restaurant. We took all our Popeye, KFC and Taco Bell sauces with us. We are fussy eaters but hey this is CUBA, who goes there for food. Just take your condiments. Staff there love our BBQ sauces and Heinz ketchup. Leave that behind and they will love it. Cuban Ketchup doesn't taste the same as what we get here in the Western world. I left behind all the hot sauces and had to ration them out as everyone wanted them. The grill at the pool side makes wonderful veggie pizza and cheeseburgers. The only problem is getting the server to take your order and get the food takes eternity. The 24 hour grill makes the best toasted cheeseburgers. Drinks Never did they run out of anything. Liber would surprise us with his special fruit drinks. They even have a coffee machine in the bar in case you want to drink their amazing Spanish Coffee. Entertainment There is entertainment every night for kids and adults. One show was related to the Titanic and the guy dressed like Celine Dion. I laughed my head off. They will also involve patrons to participate in a friendly competition to crown Ms Blau Colonial for a week and it also ends with a group dance. A trip to the bat cave is also organized for 15-25 CUC twice a week. While we were there, there was a fashion show at the pool and also at the Salsa Cafe. You also get to take the peddle boat out for an hour or can take a catamaran trip for half an hour or take the canoes out. Also there is salsa dancing, tennis, volley ball etc. Trips Took a hop on hop off bus to Pilar beach. Reminded me of all the wonderful beaches in Australia. Review will be put up for Pilar beach soon. Another excursion we did was to Ceigo De Avila. Cost us about 75 CUC per person. Drove through a 17 km causeway where you can see a lot of pink flamingos and through the streets of Moron, with a tricycle ride in the Ciego De Avila plus lunch and a stopover to a local cigar making factory, Cuban music and a workshop that makes jewellery and artefacts from silver. The lunch time wasted a lot of our time which could have better been utilized by taking our orders first and having them ready when we arrived there. We sat there for an hour and a half to have food served with pork. As we do not eat pork they took pork out but did not replace the same amount of pork with any other meat i.e. we got less meat then what other got. We did some souvenir shopping and money exchange at a bank which is housed in the Royal Bank of Canada building. Exchange out there was 98.5 CUC to C$100. Didn't have enough time to explore the beautiful city. On the way back they stop for a steam train ride through a sugar cane field and another speed boat ride. Both well worth the money you have paid for the trip. Another trip we did was the glass bottom boat. Were lucky to go on this trip as one day the boat was broken while for 3 days the water was very rough. Other patrons who were putting this off to the last 3 days did not get a chance to take this wonderful trip. A tip - take your own snorkelling gear and some banana or bread to see and feed the fishes. Snorkelling gear is provided but leaks and is unhygienic. My Dollar store gear was of better quality then provided by the boat. Fishes come to you if you have food around you. Is worth the trip. $20 for adults and $10 for kids. If you pay at the beach kids can be squeezed in for free. Washroom is not meant for females. If you need to sit just avoid it. Too cramped up and dirty. Horseback riding was so much fun. For 10 CUC they take you for a 1 hour ride. Pick up is outside the resort. Make sure that you put a lot of insect repellents on yourself. We were bitten so many times while riding close to the lagoon that all we were doing during the ride was scratching our self. At one point I saw about 30-50 mosquitoes on my wife's leg. Wearing full pants is recommended. Cayo Coco airport. We found Cuban honey to be 10 cents cheaper at the airport as compared to the resort. Souvenirs were more expensive at the airport. At the resort they say they take credit cards but then the line will be down when you go to pay them. The stands close to the buffet at the resort take US$, C$ or CUC if you buy from them. Ricardo one of the sales guy is a very honest person. Tip - do some bargaining as they will always drop a dollar or 2. Alcoholic drink is about 1 CUC cheaper or 3 CUC expensive then the resorts. It's just a hit and miss with the drinks. If you have space in the your luggage buy it at the resort or just wait till you check in your luggage and then buy from the duty free stores. Because we bought some drinks and souvenirs for the kids at the resort and during our trips our bag was about 5 kgs more but the person checking our luggage let it go. I paid her 2 CUC tip and she was more than happy. There is a small area to smoke at the airport. If you have not paid more or are not in the elite class Sunwings make you go in last. Same goes with the food offered in the plane. If you are not close to the elite seats you might not get your first choice of food. One our way back we were not served any snacks or pop. You only had a choice of water and wine. Summary Loved Blau Colonial and will definitely go there when I get a chance again. Remember for patrons going back there is a courtesy lunch visit to a farm in a toy train. The couple who were on a second visit to the Blau went on this trip and loved it. They had pictures of them holding crocodile and a boa constrictor. Looking forward to going on this courtesy tour next time I visit Blau. Tip- go there with an open mind and do not let the negative reviews upset you. When I booked my trip Blau was number 5 in the list of resorts in Cayo Coco but now was 7. Seems that negative reviews were put up by people who wanted 5 star treatment or were loyal patrons of other resorts or simply Blau's competitors. One couple who was a regular from NH Krystal who were moved here simply kept on complaining the whole time. If you want to enjoy don't compare and you will have a blast. If you have any questions do not hesitate to ask.

"Thrilled with the final product. I included a photo on the back and the colors are stunning. I had questions about adding the photo and sales support was immediate and through.

CBZ, the MP3 of Comics
Digital music and, more recently, digital video and digital books, have changed the way we consume media. Comic books are no different, and with the advent of tablet computers, digital comics are becoming more and more popular. If you don't have a tablet computer, however, viewing CBR (or their zip compressed counterpart, CBZ) files is as simple as installing a CBR reader and downloading your favorite comic.
Many comic book readers are available for Linux. A quick Google search will turn up programs like Comix, ComicMaster and Comical, all of which display digital comics quite well. Another search likely will turn up some free comic resources, like the one shown here: Cory Doctorow's Futuristic Takes of the Here and Now. If you miss the comic books of your youth, or if you still enjoy them on a regular basis, you owe it to yourself to check out CBR/CBZ files.

DRM free, Linux made comic books in cbz
This is a topic close to my heart. I write "Road-Sign Hank and the Aliens" which is released (commercially) in DRM-free CBZ format. And has been quite successful. CBZ is, absolutely, a viable format for commercial distribution of comic books.
In fact, the art for the comic is built in Linux using Inkscape.
Books for real
I can say that i am a geek, but i can't stand ready on a computer screen. Nothing can replace a real paper book, it's an elegant object and i luv to own it, so, on one side, all my music library stands as mp3's, on the other side, i only own books, no cbz or so
Unless cbr and cbz has some
Unless cbr and cbz has some DRM feature, I see no reason why anyone should choose cbr or cbz. From my experience, all comic readers seem to be able to read regular rar and zip files, and seen no advantage with cbz or cbr.
That's because a CBZ *is* a
That's because a CBZ *is* a ZIP file, and a CBR *is* a RAR file. The extension is changed simply to identify the file as being intended for use with comic book reader software.
What's wrong with PDF?
I hate all these formats!!!
I use the GNOME document
I use the GNOME document viewer Evince for reading comics (CBR, CBZ, CBZ and CB7 files)
The other format
Don't forget CBT (comic book TAR).
No, it's not well known outside of linux-land, but some viewers do support it.
Yes, that TAR (tape archive) . . .
"viewing CBR (or their compressed version, CBZ)"
Both are compressed...
No, error...
I could lie and say it was a typo, but no, it was an error on my part. Fixed, and thank you. :)

Where to find legal cbr/cbz comics?
The 2 majors seem to want to go with a DRM product.
From what I've seen, the CBR/CBZ readers are easier to use and on more platforms.

I want it all.
I believe in living and loving passionately and compassionately, celebrating the simple things in life and treating myself and others well. I bring a lot to the table, literally. :) I am authentic, adventurous, joyful, giving, genuine, independent, creative, inspired, intuitive, strong, faithful, fiery, sensual, resilient, nurturing, free-spirited, vibrant, versatile, multi-faceted and whole-hearted by nature. I am a lover AND a fighter. I believe energy is everything and Karma is real. I wear my heart on my sleeve and say "thank you" and "I love you" more than any one I know. Music moves me. The TV watches me. I find inspiration everywhere. I will try anything once. I find bliss amid nature. I aim to see the whole world. I love to cook and rarely do so (or do anything, for that matter) on a small scale. I'm a woman of contradiction, in the best of ways. I'm into yoga, healthy eating and all things that make my mind, body and soul feel good. I have a solid head on my shoulders and good morals within. I'm into self-discovery, challenging myself and exploring new things. I adore good company and surround myself with the best of it, although I'm perfectly fulfilled in my own. A bottle of wine and a beautiful soul or a kitchen table full of good friends, family and food make up my most favorite of nights. I'm a quality over quantity kind of girl and an old soul, through and through. I come from a large family so I value nothing more than a loud room of laughter and love. I'm a warmth junkie. I geek out on all things Christmas. When I like a song, I will listen to it over... and over... and over again. I am not content with luke warm and have never been good at settling for it. I love the smell upon entering a hardware store. I value connecting with animals and children. I believe Sunday dinners MUST end in dessert. Making a house a home is my thing. I give really good running-start hugs. I am loyal to a fault. I insist every drink begin with a toast. I am a lover and student of life and will continue to learn 'til the day I die. I practice presence, gratitude and kindness. I strive to revel on a daily basis. I continuously work to evolve, improve and be the best me I can be. If I love you, you've got it made. Passion, chemistry, companionship, partnership and large amounts of laughter are incredibly important to me. I am looking for the one I adore sharing life's experiences with, both big and small... a best friend kind of bond. I value loyalty, generosity, dedication, dependability, ambition, intelligence, respect, trust, humor, kindness, versatility, optimism and presence. I appreciate those who benefit the world around them and any given situation... those with a zest for life... those who know what they want and how to get it... those who know how to treat, celebrate and truly cherish a woman. In conclusion: Be passionate! Be authentic. Have personality. Have soul. Be vibrant. Be confidant. Be giving. Be kind. Be a gentleman. Be a PARTNER and a TEAMMATE. Make me smile. Make me LAUGH. Know who you are and what you want and know how to make it happen. Be the man whom I can throw into any situation and know that he'll shine. Stimulate me. Challenge me. Open my eyes / ears / stomach / heart to something new. Break the mold. Be my love, my buddy, my rock, my partner in crime... A good "match" to me is two people encouraging and supporting one another to SHINE... two people amid chemistry and companionship... two people enhancing and enriching each others' lives... two people complimenting rather than completing each other. At the end of the day, I want it all and won't be settling. That being said, I'm very much aware that there are amazing souls out there, each with unique offerings. Show me yours... :)

Are You Indecisive About Your Career?
This is a post outlining and detailing the steps I took in order to solve career-minded indecisiveness, and how you can too.
Career-minded indecisiveness is a large problem, and in my opinion, widely underestimated as a pressing issue which halts the progression of many people, both young and old.
Whilst growing up, from the day we are born till about 12, we all had really imaginative dreams and visions. We wanted to be actors, musicians, writers, astronauts, F1 drivers, football players and a host of other things.
Then life happened. Ouch!
What I mean is, the longer we attended school in the traditional sense, the more we fell out of love with our dream. The best part about our childhood dreams was probably the fact that we were huge believers that anything was possible.
We literally took everything at face value, but we had the belief that we could achieve anything beyond our wildest dreams if we really wanted to.
However, things changed. Fast.
The concept of reality and normality became a large part of our mental make-up.
Our dreams changed, energies shifted onto other things, and our mission in life was unwillingly re-written to:
"attend a good school, so you can get a good job."
Young people today are lost. The majority of them have no vision or understanding of what autonomy truly is. Those who can comprehend it believe it isn't possible, and those who do believe it is possible are struck down by other unhappy members of society.
So here in lies the problem.
They've been conditioned to believe that there is only one road to success, and if you follow it obediently – you will be successful.
Yeah right! There are no guarantees to success in life from my experience.
Let's take a look at things a little differently, let's achieve autonomy together.
Honestly, you're going to spend the majority of your life 'working' – might as well spend it doing something you enjoy right?
Take Your Time
First thing is first. You need to take your time with this process.
Many people think that you can easily choose a perfect job, career and/or working lifestyle from a list of industries found in a local newspaper or directory on the internet on a whim, and begin making thousands of dollars almost immediately.
This is not the case at all.
You need to find out what makes you tick!
This is key to finding out exactly what you want to do with your life.
It's not simply about taking a look at your hobbies and trying to see which one is most profitable or even most enjoyable. You need to figure out what makes you happy on a day-to-day basis, and use that as the foundation to support the structure you wish to build on top.
I'm absolutely certain that every individual ever born from the beginning of time till now, has the ability to create a service of value which millions of people across the globe have a desire and need for.
However, if you rush you're not going to get anywhere.
It took me 3 years (conscious thinking) before I figured out exactly what I wanted to do with my life, and I didn't have to speak to a soul.
Most importantly it all started when I realised what life meant to me specifically. Once you have done this, and you've given yourself a stringent reason for living, it will become easier for you to conceptualise a plan for making your dream a reality.
To be frank with you, forget about titles and naming it something – just write down what you love doing, what you'd love to do if you had the opportunity to and why.
Get Out The Pen and Paper Please
Finally, you need to consistently ask yourself an exorbitant amount of questions.
- What does life mean to me?
- What do I want to get out life during my time here?
- What am I willing to put into life, in order to get what I want?
- How far am I willing to go to make my dream (whatever that may be) come true?
- If I could do anything in the entire world and it was guaranteed that I would become an outstanding success in it, what would that thing be?
- In what areas do I underestimate my capacity to achieve/be competent at?
- What do I love about myself?
- What could I teach the world? Don't underestimate yourself here; there is something you're good at – that you're currently rejecting.
I currently have a folder of 150+ pages and growing, filled with brainstormed ideas from the last five years. This is essentially what a playbook is. For me, it's taking an idea at the height of its potential, and listing out actions in descending order until you can get to an action that you can complete today.
It's basically reverse engineering. Obviously it's hard to start this if you have no idea what you want to do, which is why in that case I suggest you carry a notepad everywhere with you until then.
Never underestimate inspiration, for it may come from the most mundane places yet provide you with the most exhilarating, worldly experiences.
Every time you come across something which gives you inspiration, makes you smile or provides any kind of positive emotion – take my word for it, note it down!
The quest to becoming clear on the direction your career should take is a very difficult one; I've been through it so I know.
The beginning is always the hardest, having to support myself with the odd job here and there; things may not look bright initially.
However, overtime things will add up for sure. With passion and the will-to-live, whilst understanding your reason for being alive will surely make you more successful than you imagine.
Final tip
If you want to know whether your dream is 'big' enough, see if it gets you up in the morning. Whilst you're lying in bed, just think of your dream; create a mental image of actually being present during that reality and see the effect it has on you in the present.
The world needs you in many more ways than you think possible, don't settle for the low-hanging fruit. You were born to do much more than that.
Since when was being indecisive a bad thing anyways?
Don't listen to those who try to rush you into a career simply to get you "on the ladder".
Especially if they fail to fully grasp your current situation.

Funny,but when the Mets get rid of players they get healthier & play better,maybe,that's what the Mets should be looking at,not the players but the trainers!!!
Originally written on Mets Merized Online | Last updated 3/5/12
Mets second base prospect Reese Havens hasn't participated in workouts in over a week due to continued problems with his sore back. Yesterday, manager Terry Collins told reporters that Havens will get a cortisone shot today to try and relieve the stiffness he is experiencing. "Reese Havens, when he's healthy, is an outstanding, fun-looking player," Collins said. "He's one of those guys you just know the ceiling — if we can get him in the lineup, he's going to play in the big leagues." Havens, 25, has been hampered by side and back issues for the better part of his four professional seasons with the Mets and has been limited to only 213 professional games during that span. He underwent surgery last year to remove an inch of a rib, which was believed to be the cause of his back problems, and this season was expected to be his chance to shine and secure the second base job for the Mets at some point this season or next. "It's been embarrassing," Havens said. "Everybody has expectati

Suspect in death of Carlsbad woman pleads not guilty
SAN DIEGO – A man suspected of killing a Carlsbad mother of two whom he had recently dated pleaded not guilty to a murder charge Wednesday in downtown's Superior Court.
Jonathan Scott French, 40, appeared despondent and kept his head hung low during the entire hearing.
His bail was set at $15 million by a retired judge from Riverside County who presided over the case to avoid the appearance of bias.
French had been booked into the Vista jail without bail in the slashing death of Jennifer Stark, a 43-year-old court reporter who was well-known in Vista Superior Court.
Prosecutor Keith T. Watanabe said Stark met French the evening she was killed for a final meeting "to get some closure." The two had dated for three years, and at one point had been engaged. Their rocky relationship had ended about a month earlier, Watanabe said.
The couple met at Bistro West restaurant in Carlsbad, and a restaurant video shows them kissing just before leaving about 10 p.m., Watanabe said.
At 11:20 p.m., Stark's 15-year-old son found his mother's bloodied body facedown in the hallway of their home on Camino del Parque near Paseo del Norte in La Costa.
Watanabe said the body was lying in a pool of blood on top of the hallway runner rug. Stark's neck had been "severely cut open," according to the prosecutor's complaint.
Police recovered a 10-to 12-inch bloody kitchen knife underneath the rug. Stark also suffered numerous blunt-force traumas and wounds, according to court records.
About two dozen of Stark's friends and family members sat in the gallery during the hearing. Some in the front row wept.
Rosemary Leone, a neighbor, and several other friends said outside the courtroom that they had witnessed violence in the couple's relationship.
Stark's friends said they tried to get her to end the relationship but said she was a very forgiving person. One of them, Colette Grady, said French "is a narcissistic sociopath" who was manipulative and would always find a way to stay involved in Stark's life.
In requesting a high bail, Watanabe said French was involved in a domestic violence incident in 1992 in Pensacola, Fla., in which he was accused of battery and of attempting to strangle his then-girlfriend. French was not convicted, but he was discharged from the Navy as a result of those accusations, Watanabe said.
French has a misdemeanor drunken-driving conviction and pleaded guilty to battery causing serious bodily injury and disturbing the peace in prior incidents, the prosecutor said.
The defendant, a divorced father of a 10-year-old girl, had called his ex-wife after meeting with Stark Friday night and told her that he was dropping off his daughter at her home, Watanabe said.
The daughter noticed that French smeared blood on a light switch at their house when he went to pick her up, the prosecutor said. According to the complaint, French told his daughter: "Don't believe what they are going to tell you about me," before the two started to cry.
