Greetings Everyone,
Today during the normal maintenance cycle Yamato, Izumo an Wakoku will have an extended down time of approx. 2 hours. We will be doing maintenance in the
near future on all shards to cut down on maintenance times.
Thank you,
UO Team
IDOC Housing changes
The changes we have made are to IDOC houses. Below are the details of the changes we have made:
When a house goes into the condemned stage the house will go private and all access will be removed.
Trial accounts will no longer be able to pick up loot from an IDOC house
When the house drops Grubbers will spawn with some of the house loot in their packs, you will have to chase them down to get the loot they have.
After a house is in the IDOC stage the timers are no longer random, it will drop at either 5, 10, or 15 hours, with the exception of houses with rental vendors. Houses with rental vendors will become OSI owned and have to go through a cycle for the second time to notify vendor owners.
Greetings everyone,
In an effort to increase the quality of support and streamline assistance for certain account and billing-related issues, Broadsword is now pleased to offer a new phone callback service to help resolve complex account and billing issues.
The Demon Slayer property will be properly applied to the Scepter of Pride.
Using Spirit Speak will no longer interrupt the Inspire bard song.
Owner bound items will no longer bind when placed on mannequins, stewards, or vendors.
Blessed quivers and wing armor can no longer be obtained on abyss ruleset shards. Existing blessed quivers and wing armor will lose their blessed status.
The drop rates for some of the Prism of Light keys has been increased.
Players can no longer recall out of Blackthorn's Dungeon in Felucca.

It Reaps. i made this when i was experimenting with TDExplosives. it MAY lag if overused or you have a very old computer.
Mine precious gold from the deformable terrain in order to buy better weapons, digging tools, and deployable defenses. Use these assets to defend your disembodied brain and bankrupt your opponent!
Old-school 2D sidescroller pixel graphics coupled with an extremely detailed physics simulation makes for a mix of nostalgia and surprising gameplay.

Yup, a fresh build is out, immediately available here, or on the HIB download page for you dear Humble Bundle customers! Mostly fixes and tweaks in this one, but there's some new fun content too!
It Reaps. i made this when i was experimenting with TDExplosives. it MAY lag if overused or you have a very old computer.
a futuristic mod that adds a new actor a dropship 10 weapons 2 bombs and a shield actors has long fly time due to special condest heat proof liquid nitrogen...
BTW, the profile says its a first person shooter. THAT IS NOT TRUE. Also, this is an indie game.
This may be fun with a 2-4 player coop too, imagine exploring huge dungeons underground that requires tools to excavate things further down, but usually with more and harder enemies.
try some mods.
The Moddb Mods of CC are somewhat low quality, there are better ones at the Data Realms Forums Datarealms.com
Oh wait, its more like tower defence... But it should be nice to add in rpg elements and stats so you can control a strong hero only, and at the same time command other bots to do things.
Wonder if someone can make a open world RTS+3rd|PerShotr or something...
this seems like clonk
i think thsi would count as an indie game?
im going to post game-related news from www.datarealms.com/devlog on the moddb site from now on. okay?
Wow, I didn't know this game got added.
The game is for download, and it's in testing stage. Anyone can play it.
If you look to your right, you will find a very obvious link to the site where you can download it, www.datarealms.com

Day 1 part 2
First stop is at Sturgeon Gorge road side park near Alberta, Michigan. 50 miles down, many more to go.
As I pull my helmet off I inhale the heavy aroma of a humid morning in a northern pine forest. This takes me back to fond memories of years gone by.....
My wife Jen and I were wed here at Sturgeon Gorge on Sunday May 6, 2007…..05/06/07 incase you didn't notice. No we didn't plan it that way. My mother actually noticed the date coincidence a few days before the ceremony.
Seems like a long time ago even though it has been mere years. Many friends have moved on since then. Many relationships have changed. Some better….some not so much….
I take a quick look over the bike for obvious loose parts of vital importance. Nothing is evident. I always worry about bike mechanical issues. I am not sure what I can do about it. It is probably from knowing what can go horribly wrong.
A quick morning constitutional helps clear my head…..among other things….
Back on the road again.
I am soon passed,
make that buzzed
, by two riders, one on a Barbie KLR 650 and another on what looked to be a candy apple red SV 650. They had to be doing well over 70. I am pretty sure I saw an ADV sticker so who ever you are FYYFF!!! I tried to catch up but with the giant sail on the back and the very sluggish handling I soon came to my senses.
I ride on.

Coexpression of Chaperones/Foldases make Properly folded recombinant proteins
If you ever wanted "chaperones" to properly fold you recombinant proteins, check out this article:
Expression of correctly folded proteins in Escherichia coil
George Georgiou* and Pascal Valaxt
--> [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]
Abstract: Many heterologous polypeptides fail to fold into their native
state when expressed in Escherichia co~i; instead, they
are either degraded by the cellular proteolytic machinery
or accumulate in insoluble form, typically as inclusion
bodies. Misfolding is a particularly vexing problem in the
expression of mammalian proteins, especially those that are
composed of multiple subunits, have several disulfide bonds,
or contain prosthetic groups. Fortunately, bacteria exhibit a
remarkable physiological plasticity that can be successfully
exploited to improve protein folding. Significant yields of
active heterologous proteins have been obtained through
strategies that include the co-expression of homologous or
heterologous folding accessory proteins, the optimization of
growth conditions, and the use of fusion proteins. A flood
of recent reports documenting the successful production of
complex eukaryotic proteins in active form have demonstrated
that bacteria can provide the proper environment for the
folding of the vast majority of recombinant polypeptides.
Re: Coexpression of Chaperones/Foldases make Properly folded recombinant proteins
Another similar article:
Folding and assembly of oligomeric proteins in
Escherichia coil
Carolyn M. Teschke and Jonathan King
Also mentions the optimization of temperature and ionic strength of media for greater recovery. See excerpts.
--->[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]
Excerpt 1: The cytoplasm of E. coil
David Goodsell [23] calculated the contents of a 100 nm
cube of E. coli cytoplasm, one of 600 in an E. coli
cell. The cube contained 30 ribosomes, 2-3 mRNA
molecules and 6 RNA polymerases, 100 protein translation
factors, 330 other protein molecules, 30 amino
acyl-tRNA synthetases, 340 tRNA molecules, 30000
small molecules such as precursors and cofactors, and
50 000 small ions. The turgor pressure of the cell causes
the internal pressure to be 3 atm. The volume of the
cytoplasm, the amount of H20 contained in that volume
and the concentration of protein in the cytoplasm,
are all dependent on the osmolarity of the medium in
which the cells are grown [24].
The bacterium responds to changes in the osmolarity
of the medium by altering its internal K + and glutamate
ion concentration, as well as adjusting the volume of
its cytoplasm. The volume of the cytoplasm decreases
twofold with an increase in medium osmolarity from
0.1 OsM to 1.02 OsM, or 0M NaC1 to 0.5M NaCl, in the
medium of Cayley et al. [24]. The decrease in the volume
of the cytoplasm is accompanied by an increase
in the intracellular concentration of osmolytes, mostly
the K + ion concentration. The protein concentration increases
from 200 mg ml- 1 to 340 mg ml- 1 and the RNA
concentration from 75 mg ml- 1 to 120 mg ml- 1 over the
range of osmolarities investigated, leading to a 1.6-fold
increase in macromolecule concentration. Clearly the
local environment of newly synthesized proteins is
highly concentrated. These protein concentrations in
vitro cause excluded volume nonideality and can have
major effects on macromolecular processes [24].
Excerpt 2: Environmental alterations to increase the recovery of oligomers
Two variables under experimental control in vivo are
the temperature and ionic strength of the medium.
When formation of inclusion bodies is due to thermolability
of folding intermediates in the bacterial cytoplasm,
lowering the temperature of cell growth is an
obvious path to increasing the yield of correctly folded
protein [6,14]. Additional methods for improving yield,
such as decreasing the growth rate, have recently been
reviewed by Schein [6].
The internal ionic strength can be altered by increasing
the osmolarity of the medium. The increased concentration
of cellular protein stabilizes the protein subunits,
much as glycerol or sucrose do in vitro, by
changing the activity of the I-I20. In fact, osmoremedial
mutations, where altered proteins are nonfunctional at
low osmolarities but become more functional if the osmolarity
of the medium is increased, are common [25].
Many temperature-sensitive mutations are also osmoremedial.
This is probably not due to changes in the
internal ions in the cytoplasm but may be caused by
effects on water activity [24].

Oracle Uses Intel Xeon Processor 5500 Series - Based Systems With Intel Intelligent Power Node Manager to Increase Rack Density and Propel Business Growth
Date Added: Sep 2009
Format: PDF
Oracle was intent on increasing the computing density of its data centers so it could serve more customers at a lower cost and be in a strong competitive position when the economy improves. The gating factor: power consumption. The only way to reduce the amount of power each server used would be to pack more processing capability into the same space. With the Intel Xeon processor 5500 series, Oracle can match the power to the application.

Indeed, an older version document says:
Do not run explicit delete commands for RMAN images. Let NetBackup automatically expire RMAN related NetBackup images based on retention settings in the Oracle backup policy.
Will Restore -- where there is a Will there is a way
I am not a Oracle expert, but don't you need to use the "ALLOCATE CHANNEL FOR MAINTENANCE DEVICE TYPE sbt" command.
The oracle docs say "To manually allocate a channel in preparation for issuing a CHANGE, DELETE,or CROSSCHECK command"
Oracle 10 doc's:
Assumption is the mother of all mess ups.

With all the hoopla about the LeBron James sweepstakes, Major League Baseball's All-Star Game, scheduled for Tuesday in Anaheim has somehow gotten lost in the sports shuffle. For anybody who has ever been a baseball fan, the All-Star Game is a time of powerful nostalgia for players of the past. In my case, I always think of my all-time favorite player, number 21 of the Pittsburgh Pirates, Roberto Clemente.
I grew up in Pittsburgh. My first season as a fan was 1955, the year the Dodgers won their first and only World Series championship in Brooklyn. That was also Roberto Clemente's first season as a member of the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Clemente had been signed by the Brooklyn Dodgers for a bonus prior to the 1954 season. The Dodgers immediately assigned him to their triple-A minor league affiliate in Montreal. Under the rules existing at that time, if an MLB franchise did not take special measures to protect a bonus player, he was subject to being drafted by another team. The Pittsburgh Pirates took advantage of these rules and drafted Clemente prior to the 1955 season.
The rest is history. Clemente became one of the greatest players of his era. He made 3,000 hits and had a career batting average of .317. Roberto was, without any doubt, in terms of fielding, the greatest right fielder in the history of baseball. No right fielder ever possessed a stronger, more accurate arm.
I had the good fortune to see Roberto play in each of his 18 Pirate seasons, from 1955 through 1972. There were certainly better ballplayers than Roberto, including Ted Williams, Willie Mays, and Henry Aaron. Yet no player in either the National or American League ever played as fine a World Series as did Roberto in 1971 in the Pirates' triumph over the Baltimore Orioles.
The thought has occurred to me, however as to what would have happened if the Dodgers had protected Roberto and brought him up to Brooklyn for the 1955 season. One must then also wonder how Roberto would have fared if the Dodgers had then stayed in Brooklyn, rather than moving to Los Angeles after the 1957 season. The Dodgers certainly never would have moved to California if Robert Moses had condemned the land at the Atlantic and Flatbush Avenues intersection and given it to Dodger owner Walter O'Malley to build his dream, a domed stadium.
Had the Dodgers kept Clemente in Brooklyn in 1955, he would have competed with Sandy Amoros and Junior Gilliam for the left field position, rather than right field. The Dodgers had the "Reading Rifle", Carl Furillo in right field, an outstanding fielder and hitter with a powerful, accurate arm. Left field, however was always a question mark for the Dodgers during their last decade in the Borough of Kings.
I think Clemente may well have won the left field starting job in 1955 for a surprising reason: Had Clemente played in Ebbets Field, he would have become a power hitter, giving him a decided edge over Amoros and Gilliam even at this early point in his career. The fabled bandbox home of the Dodgers was a home run hitter's delight. Clemente would have become a 30 home run a year man in Ebbets Field and the future Dodgerdome at Atlantic and Flatbush.
By contrast, Forbes Field, where Clemente played fifteen and a half seasons, was the most difficult home run park in the history of baseball. As the late Pirate manager Danny Murtaugh noted, Clemente had excellent power, but he became a "made-over" hitter in Forbes Field, hitting doubles and triples in bunches, but rarely taking a home run swing.
So the power hitting Clemente would have won the left field Brooklyn Dodger starting job in 1955, and switch hitter Junior Gilliam would have played second base, rather than Don Zimmer. Sandy Amoros would have been a reserve left fielder and pinch hitter.
Yet this situation may well have deprived Brooklyn of their cherished 1955 World Series victory.
The Dodgers won their only Brooklyn World Series victory in 1955 by defeating the New York Yankees by a 2-0 score in Game 7 in Yankee Stadium. The key to the victory was a superb catch by Sandy Amoros in the sixth inning of a long fly ball to left field off the bat of Yogi Berra. The left-handed Amoros, running at full speed sideways to his right, reached out and caught the ball with his right gloved hand near the foul pole and prevented a double that would have driven in two base runners, tying the score.

Family members, friends, co-workers, anyone?
I just have to get this off my chest....The other day my MIL and I were talking about getting our house sold and paying bills, etc. She, out of the blue, says "you know, it's none of my business, I know you and Sean want another baby but if I were you I wouldn't even think about that right now. You can't afford it. I am worried sick about you guys and Tony & Lisa (BIL & SIL) because they were going to start TTC #1 next month. I just don't think this is the right time for anyone"
#1 She has no idea that we have been TTC for 2 months already, or that I had a chem PG in August. Nor will she until we are 12 weeks PG.
#2 Why can't parents just keep their mouths shut? She's right, it is none of her business.
#3 The first time we started TTC she told DH that I needed to lose weight before I got PG. Guess what? She scared the crap out of DH enough that he didn't want to try until I lost weight. What a bit**. Luckily this time around he says he doesn't care what his mom thinks, she does not run our lives.
Whew, I am done.

Laugh-out-loud hilarious book by an awesome man about brilliant people getting up to all sorts of insanely nice things. After reading this book I joined Danny to help him make the world a better place, one Random Act of Kindness at a time. I own two copies, one tattered and autographed by quite a lot of the lovely people I got to meet via to this truly lovely man, and one to lend to people that they might see the light and laughter that is Join Me!I'd reccommend this book to anyone, though in particular to anyone feeling like they need some reassurance that there is some good left in the world. The existence of Danny's Barmy Karma Army tells me that there is hope for the human race, that heartlessness and soullessness are less widespread than may at first appear, and that there are people out there whose mission it is to spread smiles on other people's faces, just because.Not a bad message, eh? Wittily written, too.
My favourite book, by one of my favourite people, who, through it, has introduced me to nearly all of my other favourite people in real life. JOIN ME is going strong!
What can I say? I love Danny Wallace. He's my British boyfriend. Everything he says makes me crack up. Yes, it's stupid, but in a brilliant way. Join him.
A delightful and inspiring book about one regular bloke making a difference. Danny doesn't try to change the world through heroics or superhuman effort or even hard work. It just kind of happens, and Danny goes along with it.The writing is fun and light, good for a chuckle and a laugh. Danny is quite likable and it comes through in his writing. The length is good, the pacing is right, and I never found myself bored.If you are looking for a fun book with an inspirational message without deep contemplation and soul searching, give this a try. At the very least, you'll have a good chuckle.

After a tumultuous day of muck-flying and titanic tweeting, battle-scarred party bashers Shah Rukh Khan and Shirish Kunder called truce Tuesday afternoon, courtesy Shirish's brother-in-law Sajid Khan and Shah Rukh's wife Gauri Khan.
Apparently, Sajid and Gauri called for a meeting at Shah Rukh Khan's residence Mannat between the two warring parties. Over a hot meal and cool discussion, the acrimony was wiped clean.
Confirming the reconciliation, Sajid Khan said: "Yes, I felt terrible about the ugly turn that the whole affair took. Shah Rukh and Shirish had a fight, agreed. But the media didn't have to play it up to the point of making it on the front of national newspapers."
Getting sentimental, Sajid added: "Do you know, when my sister Farah and Shirish got married, there were only three witnesses. Me, Sajid Nadiadwala and Shah Rukh. We're family. And there're bound to be differences between family members. Yes, Gauri and I took the initiative. All of us met at Mannat over a meal and it was all sorted out."
Farah Khan added: "I can't begin to tell you how relieved I am. This had turned really ugly. And before it got uglier, my brother took matters into his hands. Full credit to Gauri for making the reconciliation happen. When my brother asked her where we should meet, she said Mannat, because she said it's Farah's home. I am so moved."
Farah says this is not only the end of the ugly spat, but also a new beginning for her and Shah Rukh.
"I really liked what he said. He made us promise to wipe out all the bitterness of the last two years and start afresh. I feel like a big burden is off my back," she said.

Honestly, I have never been a fan of Farah Khan, Sajid Khan, and Shirish Kunder. They all make crappy bollywood movies (especially Sajid Khan). Sajid khan and shirish kunder shouldn't even be in the industry after making movies like Heyy Baby, Jaan-E-Mann, Tees mar khan, housefull.
Farah khan may be a lousy filmmaker, but she is at least a good choreographer. Sajid and Shirish have ZERO talent.
And yeah, when it comes to mocking people at award functions, Sajid Khan and Farah Khan are number 1.
Great that the patch happpened. But one thing for sure if any body is NASTY with SRK he will kick the hell out of that person but the Bodybuilder Salman khan doesnot have such GUTS,he can only talk tough but no Show when called to fight. He can drive drunk and kill poor people sleeping on street and get away with his contact, and bribing the authorities, because of his contact.BUT SRK IS TRUE PATHAN. AMJ
Edited on:01 February 2012 at 3:10am
I'm glad that everything's sorted now.
But Shirish DESERVED that slap! SRK had never done anything bad to him & had helped his wife become famous in bollywood. Shirish should have never sent those tweets mocking SRK & his movies. I'd had enough out of him. It's good SRK slapped some sense on him!
wow nice step awesome job by gauri khan n sajid khan koi salman ko bhi mannat la jaa plzzz
wow..finally amidst all this cra..something good cme out of it..Finally they patched up ;)
Both srk n shrish acted childish ruining sum1s party!!! Hello self-control any1 plz, both in mouth n in hand!!!!
Good thing Shirish and SRK stopped acting like little kids, and settled the dispute. For all we know..it could've just been a publicity stunt to get Kunder in the headlines for his upcoming flick, Joker. -.-

Former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan told Bloomberg Television's Trish Regan and Adam Johnson on "Street Smart" today that "I guess" Bitcoin is a bubble. He said, "the question is I do not understand where the backing of Bitcoin is coming from… Individuals with very high net worth and who have great reputations could create their own currency because people would be willing to exchange their checks with others probably at par. That is not the case with Bitcoin."
Alan Greenspan: I'm More Concerned About Fundamentals
Alan Greenspan on whether Bitcoin is a bubble:
"I guess so. Let me say that currencies to be exchangeable have to be backed by something. When we had – when we were on the gold standard, gold and silver had intrinsic value and people would be willing to exchange their goods and services for gold or silver and wouldn't ask any questions of where the monies came from. Alternatively, when we went into currencies, it was the backing off the issuer of the currency. In other words, if some individual had great credit standing, his checks could circulate as money. But the question is I do not understand where the backing of bitcoin is coming from. There is no fundamental issue of capabilities of repaying it in anything which is universally acceptable which is either intrinsic value of the currency or the credit or trust of the individual who is issuing the money, whether it's a government or an individual. Individuals with very high net worth and who have great reputations could create their own currency because people would be willing to exchange their checks with others probably at par. That is not the case with bitcoin."
Alan Greenspan on whether Bitcoin could be the new gold:
"No. Well, see that – it has to – it has to have intrinsic value. You have to really stretch your imagination to infer what the intrinsic value of bitcoin is. I haven't been able to do it. Maybe somebody else can. But if – you asked me is this a bubble in bitcoin. Yeah, it's a bubble."
Alan Greenspan on what has changed with investors' perception about gold this year:
"Well first of all, remember we used to be at $35 an ounce. And then even several years ago we were well under $1,000 an ounce now we're $1,2000 or thereabouts. And to be sure, we've come down a bit but it's after a very significant rise. So the issue here is that the reasons for buying gold were, one, fears of significant inflation first of all which didn't materialize, and just generally the notion that inflation looks to be relatively stable for the indefinite future and that therefore the hedging aspects of gold are really not that all necessary at the moment. And so what you're getting is clearly this type of problem which one would ordinarily expect when the – the basic reasons for holding gold are not – not that strong. My – I think that we're probably at a gold price now which is not all that different from where it probably would be considering that it's, on the one hand a commodity, copper, on the other hand a monetary asset like the Swiss franc used to be before they fixed it against the euro."
Alan Greenspan on new market highs and whether we've entered a new age of irrational exuberance:
"No, I don't think that's the best way to describe what we're looking at. I tend to look at the market as being made up of two major components. One is the fundamentals of earnings obviously and long-term interest rates and the various risk premiums associated with them. On top of that, we have the valuation process run largely by the extent of animal spirits, to the extent that they're operating. And that basically includes euphoria, fear and herding. The concept of bubbles has to apply solely to the latter or has no meaning. And in that context, you have to measure what we are looking at with respect to these valuations. And there's no bubble there in the sense that…"
Alan Greenspan on whether people should look at the median price to sales ratio:
"I look at it, but I find that the most useful thing to capture the extent to which we're pricing products above what the fundamentals is essentially what we call the equity premium. That is, the price that individuals are willing to hold stocks at. And JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE:JPM), which has got the best equity premium measure that I know of, up until a couple of years ago had the highest ratio, meaning the lowest value – the lowest markups – I'm sorry, the lowest valuations for stocks in 50 years. Now of course it's come down a significant amount with the big bulge that's occurred in the market, and obviously you can't continue doing what we're doing. I'm more concerned about the fundamentals at this stage…the market than I am – yeah, exactly. Than I am about the state of euphoria, fear and herding."
Alan Greenspan on what he's most concerned about right now:
"Well first of all, profits have been rising extraordinarily, as you know. And the result is that the share of national income has been rising to levels which cannot persist in the sense that if you get even a slowdown in the rate of increase in the share of profits to national income, that in and of itself slows the growth in earnings and eventually slows the expectations of future earnings. So that's one of them. But the main issue is interest rates. As I've written in the book that I published a few weeks ago, it's very difficult for me to see that we're not on the edge of a significant rise in long-term rates. I don't know when that is. I do know that we are very significantly undervalued. The rates are significantly lower than they would ordinarily be and that obviously is the result of various QE1, QE2 and QE3, which essentially have focused on not monetary policy but buying long-term assets. That's not something the Fed has done in the past and it's going to be very interesting to see in retrospect how successful this whole process has been. But it clearly is driving the markets."
Alan Greenspan on the Fed's quantitative easing
"Well I've stayed away from commenting on current policy. But let me just say that what is actual causing this is not related to the Fed. It's essentially the fact that if you look at the data on the economy and look at the GDP for example, you find out that all of the shortfall from where we would expect the GDP to be occurs in assets with very long life expectations. Homes, new structures in the industrial sector, all sorts of assets whose average earnings are coming over a very long period of time. Those parts of the economy have never really never fully recovered."
"Housing clearly has come back. But remember, housing starts with single-family dwellings. At the moment it's still only a third of where it was in 2006 and '07. So we have a – we've come back but very little. And the extent of that failure to come back accounts for the rise in the unemployment rate and – and the abnormally low sag in – in growth in the GDP far different from any recovery we've seen since the end of World War II."
Alan Greenspan on whether he believes there's a problem between what is a bubble in the amount of credit brought by the current Fed and the fact that asset prices haven't followed suit:
"No, asset prices have followed suit. That is the issue. The Fed has succeed in raising asset prices by lowing long-term interest rates. And long-term interest rates are the fundamental financial factor that drives the stock market."
'Well, the issue basically is that it is certainly the case that there's been a dramatic increase in the size of the balance sheet in the United States, and indeed the ECB, Bank of Japan and Bank of England. But the problem basically is that those monies have not fundamentally filtered into the economies and galvanized economic activity. JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE:JPM), for example, holders a large balance at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York as an excess reserve. It clearly has not been relending it out because the total amount of loans and debt increases over the last several years have been very modest. And this tells me that there's – that money is not actually working yet."
Alan Greenspan on how Yellen might differ from Bernanke as Federal Reserve chair:
"Well the markets that they're dealing with are going to be very significantly different. Ben was involved when the Fed saw the necessity of significant balance sheet expansion. We're coming to a point now where we're about to not only end the taper, but eventually of course pull a good deal

Samantha departed for Sunset Speedway with the #81, as Billy, Scott and Jake made the short trip to Flamboro Speedway where the track had fan appreciation night consisting of
an autograph session. It was a rare occasion that Ken Spira was not in attendance as he
headed to Delaware Speedway to spot for the #38 Spira Fire Protection sponsored Ford of
Tyler Hendricks, who was racing in the Keystone Light, Great Canadian 200, which was run
early enough to allow Ken time to make it to Flamboro for the feature race.
Billy's #86 was handling great in practice as Scott and Jake adjusted on loose conditions, before all three drivers lined up in the same heat race with Billy starting 6th, Scott 8th and Jake 10th. By the half way point, Billy remained 6th as Scott gained a position to 7th as did Jake moving up to 9th. Billy moved up to finish 5th in the final laps despite a motor problem lacking power as if it was only running on three cylinders. Scott remained 7th at the checkered flag and Jake dropped back a position to finish where he started in 10th.
The team gathered around the #86, where with the help of Dave Mast, Mark Dennis, Scotty and Billy's dad‐John, found a bad lifter that was replaced before the feature. Billy lined up to start 12th, Scott 14th and Jake 20th out the 20 car field and after the field sorted themselves out in the first few laps, Billy moved up to 11th followed by Scott in 12th as Jake gained three positions into 17th. With 5 laps complete, Billy and Scott continued towards the front, running 7th and 8th as Jake was stuck behind two and three wide cars at the back in 17th. As Billy was racing side by side with the #13 ahead of Scott, the #13 took Billy up to the wall on the
backstretch and as the two made contact, Scott dove to the inside and took both positions, putting himself 6th ahead of the #13 and his teammate. At the half way mark, Scotty was up to 5th with Billy two positions behind in 7th as Jake finally got some room to race and moved up to 15th. With 5 laps remaining, a caution for fluids on the track brought the field together for the final run to the checkered flag. The #71 pulled up high with a cut tire that gave Scott the room he required to get by the #37 and into 3rd as Billy found his bumper to follow him through to finish behind him in 4th as Jake did a great job in the high traffic area behind them to finish 12th.
At Sunset Speedway, Samantha was happy with her car through the first of four practice sessions although she thought the car was not accelerating as hard as it could so carburetor adjustments were made. Sam lined up 3rd in her first heat and was able to fight for a 2nd place finish. The second heat race had the Wolseley Ford starting 6th and although boxed in behind slower cars, patiently brought home a 4th place finish.
In the feature, Sam lined up 17th in the 29 car field and after 9 laps of charging up to 6th, the 64 lost power in turn one, checking up the field resulting in the #81 spinning and having to go to the rear of the field. The re‐start saw Sam trying to make up for lost track position as soon as possible and while trying to pass the #85 on the outside, the #52 came up the track and ended up parking the bright yellow #81 into the wall, exiting turn two‐causing significant damage and ending the night for the Roof Trusses and Components Ford, finishing 23rd.
Next up for the Spira ‐ Lucas Oil Team is the second race in as many days for Billy and Scott as they head for Sauble Speedway on Sunday September 1st for the tracks final race of the season. Samantha will miss the trip north as she heads off to the University of Waterloo and Jake is going to the Nascar Truck Race at Canadian Tire Motorsports Park with his family. Pit gates open at 11:00am and racing begins at 1:00pm.

In addition, another, as yet un-named compound that blocks both ADAM10 and ADAM17 resulted in significant effect on a range of TNBC cell lines. "We found that it reduced the growth of these cells by up to 91%," she said. "We have also found that treatment of TNBC cells with this compound reduced their ability to migrate, a process that is vital for the progression of cancer.
"Triple negative breast cancers comprise 10-20% of all breast cancer cases. Women with TNBC tend to present with higher grade, larger tumours, are younger at diagnosis, have a higher incidence of metastases and have a shorter time to recurrence compared to other breast cancer types. One reason for the poor prognosis for this group is the lack of targeted therapies for these women. Having found that an ADAM inhibitor can reduce the proliferation of TNBC cell lines, we hope that ADAMs may be a useful therapeutic target."
The scientists hope that inhibiting ADAMs might also be a possible treatment for other cancers in which members of the EGFR 'family' are active. In addition to EGFR, the 'family' consists of HER2, HER3 and HER4, and these are implicated in a number of cancers such as lung, colorectal, head and neck, and pancreatic cancers.
"Theoretically, inhibiting ADAMs should block downstream signalling from all four EGFR family members and thus potentially reduce cancer progression. We are excited that we have seen an effect in this particularly aggressive subgroup of breast cancers but propose that we will see an effect in other cancer settings also," said Dr McGowan.

What do I need?
by hopelauren, Window Shopper
- Created: January 22, 2011, 7:50 pm
Photography started as a hobby for me, but recently I have started doing shoots for people (and getting paid). It has turned into something to help me through school financially. I am starting to wonder if I am required to obtain any type of license or permit to continue.
I have started a website and made flyer to try to gain more customers. I have done Maternity shoots, a wedding, senior portraits, and children. I offer my services taking the pictures for $20 an hour plus a $45 fee for my travel and editing time. I do not have a studio, all shoots are done in public locations or the customers home. The most I have brought in in a month has been approximately $100, but business does seem to be picking up some. I do NOT have the prints made for the customers, they receive their pictures on a disc or SD card and print the pictures themselves.
Does anyone know if I am required to have anything to this?
bizjunkie | Creator | 6/25/2010 - 9:28 am
I would also look into the requirements of your state (search for your secretary of state's website) and your county (call your county clerks office). Or, contact your local chamber of commerce to see what they suggest.
ChristineL | Former Moderator | 6/18/2010 - 8:53 am
Hi hopelauren, It sounds like your hobby has turned into a business.The IRS suggests answering 8 questions to check if your hobby is a business: Is the purpose of your activity to make a profit? Generally, your activity is considered a business if it is carried on with the reasonable expectation of earning a profit. Do you participate in your activity just for fun? Hobbies - also called not-for-profit activities - are those activities that are not pursued for profit. Do you depend on income from the activity? If so, your activity is likely considered a business. Have you changed methods of operation to improve profitability? If so, your hobby may actually be a business. Do you have the knowledge needed to carry on the activity as a successful business? People who carry out hobbies just for fun, often don't have the business acumen to turn their not-for-profit activity into a profitable business venture. Have you made a profit in similar activities in the past? This may indicate your activity is a business rather than a not-for-profit hobby. An activity is presumed carried on for profit if it makes a profit in at least three of the last five tax years, including the current year - or at least two of the last seven years for activities that consist primarily of breeding, showing, training or racing horses. Does the activity make a profit in some years? Even if your activity does not make a profit every year, it still may be considered a business. Do you expect to make a profit in the future from the appreciation of assets used in the activity? This indicates your activity may be a business rather than a hobby. You can read more about the tax implications for businesses and hobbies here. http://www.irs.gov/newsroom/article/0,,id=169490,00.html Use the Licenses and Permits Tool to see which ones you need to apply for. If you plan to start a business, take a look at the requirements to start a business in your state here. Please feel to post additional questions and let us know how your business goes!
Scarthingwell | Window Shopper | 6/18/2010 - 7:13 am
Possibly some public liability insurance in case you cause an accident while doing a shoot would be sensible.

This thing is HUGE inside! You could fit 4 people inside in an emergency, but it would be close. Weighs so little for the square footage. The roll bag is great for storage too. I do wish it came with an extra stake, just in case I lose one.
The tent feels solid once its all staked down and dialed in. I really like the "light diffusing" headlamp pocket.
NEMO has made a fan for life out of my wife and I. Go NEMO!
Here's a weight breakdown for the Losi 3p:
Poles: 26 ounces
Stakes (8): 4 ounces
Footprint: 16.65 ounces
Tent: 38.75 ounces
Rainfly: 16.5 ounces

The July Zodiac Lounge! 10 years of meeting like-minded folks interested in community, spirituality & healing.
- Religion & Spirituality
- 1332 Atlantic Ave, Brooklyn, NY, 11216
Building your Intuition and Fishing for Pisces...
Samuel F. Reynolds
Saturday, March 30, 2013 from 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM (EDT)
The NEXT Zodiac Lounge is March 30, 2013, 6-10p!
I know, I know. 3/30 is not the 3rd Saturday of the month. But we have a juicy line-up to make up for being off by a few weeks! Let me tell you about it.
First, we're going to have a panel of our healers/seers on "Building your Intution." In the "New Age" world or in spiritual circles, there's a lot said about intuition, but not enough said about what it is or how to use it w/o buying a whole book. During this panel discussion, we'll have experts talking about their understanding of intuition with clear instructions & thoughts on how how to build yours or how it's different from common sense or instinct. I'll also be on the panel. Our panels usually start around 8p.
Our panelists will be among the FIVE healers or seers at the Zodiac Lounge this month:
ZStarman (from WBAI-FM and his TV show, ASTROLOGY NUMEROLOGY NOW)
Aqila Norris (Tarot)
Osunyoyin (Tarot)
Gina Jean (Tarot)
Tiziana "Tippy" Rinaldi (Theta Healing)
Each healer/seer is $1/minute, up to 30 minutes (with a 10 minute minimum)
Also featuring vending from Yendys, of the Cowrie Shell Center, Osunyoyin, and Kufunya Ife (Crystals & Talismans for everyday life)
WE'RE LOOKING FOR MORE VENDORS!Please contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com
Toward the end of the night, at 9:35p, I will provide what many describe as my "insightful" take on the sign of the month. This month it's time to acquire a better understanding of Pisces. If you want a foretaste of what I have to say, you can check out my storified tweets here.
All of this for $5!
If you like the work of the Zodiac Lounge, but you can't attend and would like to donate to support the work, please donate here. We're always appreciative of any donations that help us do the work and beauty we are.
"The psychics and healers at The Zodiac Lounge are the real thing. I know because I've screened them myself. I am a natural-born skeptic, so I'm always looking beneath the surface for what's real. You can count on my decades of practice as an astrologer and my extensive study of human nature and native-born skepticism.
But you don't have to take my word for it. There will be dozens of other people just like you at the Zodiac Lounge who can compare notes with and with whom you can connect. So when you go on your journey, you don't have to go it alone at The Zodiac Lounge."
In order to purchase these tickets in installments, you'll need an Eventbrite account. Log in or sign up for a free account to continue.

I may need more clarification in order to accurately answer your question. It sounds like you may be trying to locate or review health insurance brokers or agents. You may also be referring to Navigators hired by state and federal government to help people choose an Affordable Care Act plan prior to the sign-up deadline of March 31. In any case, we do not have a category to rate ACA Navigators at this time.

It's good to have an individual defending state champion for any high school athletic team.
Not only do the Starkville Lady Yellowjacket cross country team have Kate Mattox, who has won the last two Class 5A State cross country titles, back, but there's a nice supporting cast around her.
Community members came out in force on Thursday evening to make their voices heard at the Commission on Starkville/Oktibbeha Consolidated School District's first public hearing.
A Board of Aldermen-approved rate increase for Starkville residential sanitation customers aims to help the sanitation and environmental safety department balance its budget for fiscal year 2014.
It's been almost five months since Jerry Oliver and Mark Lanham began their "Walk Across America" in San Diego to support the United States Constitution. On Wednesday, the two men made their way along Highway 82 in Starkville on their journey to Washington D.C.

Kenosha County is the hottest area in the state of Wisconsin in terms of economic development. And with over 4,000 jobs, $800 million in new investment, and 6.5 million SF of development/absorption since January 2013, growth continues in 2014. A few of the companies that have recently made major investments in Kenosha County include ULINE, Niagara, InSinkErator, Amazon and Meijer. A bit unexpected? Sure. But that's also what makes Kenosha so compelling.

Shake your money maker
Becky Hogge predicts the second dotcom boom - and bust
Becky Hogge predicts the second dotcom boom - and bust
by Becky Hogge Published
It is unlikely that when Prince penned the immortal line "Tonight we're going to party like it's 1999", what he had in mind was a bunch of old media professionals hunkered in a central London hotel basement earnestly discussing ways to "monetise content". Yet at a Guardian new media conference in March, representatives from first Microsoft, then Virgin Radio, then the Daily Mirror, took to the stage to unveil their thoughts on profit in the information economy. It was reminiscent of the years before the dotcom bubble burst.
Spurred on not least by the rise of Google, the money people are back, and it looks like boom time all over again. Since their last foray into dotcom land, the user-generated net has been developing just fine without them - but now they want to harness this people power and turn a profit.
At a recent Silicon Valley-related drinks reception that I attended, most of the entrepreneurs present were in stealth mode, a kind of superhero anonymity for those fearful that revealing their business idea will drain them of their special powers. Were they all touting the same new search algorithm? I'll never know, because the only two men to whom I got a proper introduction were the British bankers sponsoring the event.
The buzzword is "attention", a term originally associated with the US tech publisher Tim O'Reilly. All prospective dotcom billionaires have to do is lure enough users to a site, by offering free storage space for that video of what happens when you drop a Mento in a bottle of Pepsi (www.youtube.com) or by providing tools that make it easy to meet other crazy teens who totally dig the new Reebok campaign (www.myspace.com). Then, as if by magic, payola will follow.
The good news is that getting attention is all about openness. No more hiding behind subscription barriers (with all due respect to this venerable publication) and no more squirrelling away code from competitors. To get attention, you've got to give it away.
The less good news is that, what with all these personal details, family snaps and search preferences floating about, the web is becoming just a little too panoptical for many people's liking. A site that looks like a quick win can soon turn into a legal nightmare: witness the recent anti-paedophile investigations into Bebo and other teen networking sites.
But no matter about those pesky privacy, libel, harassment and hate-speech laws. For now, the long hot summer of the web is here, and this year, it will be silly season in the business pages, too. When the boom is over, another Amazon or eBay may rise from the ashes of a thousand start-ups. Until then, those who have been involved all along can enjoy the ride. As the man from Paisley Park once sang, ". . . life is just a party/And parties weren't meant to last."
