Just because the specific history will be dropped does not mean characters can not be used in new different ways. When Disney bought Marvel they got a huge group of characters. But they have not had adaptations of specific stories.

Woburn, MA (PRWEB) July 25, 2013
PathoGenetix™, Inc., a commercial-stage developer of an automated system for rapid bacterial identification, will present the RESOLUTION™ Microbial Genotyping System for the first time at the 2013 International Association for Food Protection (IAFP) Annual Meeting in Charlotte, North Carolina, July 28-31, 2013. The RESOLUTION System, which identifies pathogens in enriched food samples in five hours and provides strain level resolution comparable to pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), will be demonstrated in the exhibit hall (booth #902) and in private meetings. Two new research studies detailing the differentiation and typing of Salmonella strains, from both pure culture and complex "presumptive positive" food samples, will be presented in IAFP poster sessions.
PathoGenetix also will make available research results demonstrating the use of Genome Sequence Scanning™ (GSS™), the technology underlying the RESOLUTION System, to identify and differentiate virulent Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC). The ability of GSS to reliably differentiate virulent STECs has significant implications for food producers required to test their products for pathogens having certain virulence characteristics. Current screening methods have a high "false positive" rate for detection of Big 6 E. coli due to the commingling of virulence factors that can be present in an enriched food sample. The RESOLUTION System could be used as a confirmatory method for Big 6 STEC screening assays, and potentially reduce the loss of product associated with false positive results from current STEC screening tests.

Basically I'm a 41 year old single mom of a 19 (soon to be 20 year old) daughter who is currently living away at school. I've been a single mom and happily divorced for 16 years now..boy..time flys!! I have some time on my hands now that my little girl is quickly becoming a grown woman! I'm hoping to meet someone nice on this site to talk to, laugh with and see where it goes. I have a great sense of humor, love to laugh! I'm smart, sarcastic at times, and you can sit across from me at a table, eat a meal, and not lose your appetite (hopefully)! I enjoy sports, the Cubsgirl72 profile name was from a few years back when I was on the site and too lazy to change it this time around I do love the Cubs..probably always will, but that was from when the "Kings of the Hill" were the pitching rotation...the Kerry Wood, Mark Prior, Carlos Zambrano, Matt Clement and Greg Maddux era. I miss that team!! I recently rekindled my love of football..it's been awhile but this year I found myself watching on Sundays more than recent years past. I'm from the South Side of Chicago, so "Cubs" doesn't make sense...it's a family thing...and yes...hold on to your hatS..I'm a Packer Backer! Love love love Aaron Rodgers...he's the "Greg Maddux" of QB's in my opinion. Anyway..if any of this sounds remotely interesting...drop me a "wink" or an email and say "hi".

1861-S Paquet Reverse Double Eagle, AU581861-S $20 Paquet AU58 PCGS. The Paquet reverse double eagle is one of the great "story" coins in American numismatics. Late in 1860, Anthony C. Paquet, assistant engraver at the Mint, designed a new reverse die for the double eagle. The new reverse followed the basic pattern of Longacre's classic design, but it differed in several important respects. Paquet used a new set of letter punches for the legend and denomination in the design. The new letters were taller and thinner, and the spacing between the letters was tighter. The oval of stars was located below the rays on the Paquet reverse, instead of mingling with them, as seen on the old design. Most important, Paquet's design featured an extremely narrow rim, in order to leave room for the taller letters. This narrow rim had unforeseen consequences for the production of double eagles in 1861. Four pairs of the new double eagle dies were sent to San Francisco in November 1860 and three pairs were sent to New Orleans.
Legendary 19th Century Issue, Tied for Finest Known
Legendary 19th Century Issue, Tied for Finest Known
When coinage began in Philadelphia on January 5, 1861, the coiners noticed problems with the new reverse die. Because the planchets for the double eagles had their edges upset before striking, and the edges were upset to accommodate the width of the old rims, the new narrow rims on the dies did not match up well with the upset rims on the planchets. This seems to have caused excessive wear and breakage of the dies. The coiners also felt the new narrow rims would wear down quickly in normal use. When these issues were brought to the attention of Mint Director James Ross Snowden, he ordered a halt to production with the new dies.
Snowden also sent telegrams to the Mints at New Orleans and San Francisco to halt production at those facilities. The message reached New Orleans in good time, and no coins of this type were minted there. The notification of the Mint at San Francisco could not be accomplished so readily. The telegraph lines had only been completed as far as St. Joseph, Missouri. Beyond this point, the message had to be hand carried overland to California. When Snowden's directive reached San Francisco on February 2, 1861, production of double eagles had been underway for some time. Superintendent Charles Hempstead replied on February 9, 1861, "I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your favor of the 5th, 'overland,' which however did not come to hand until the 2nd. I was, therefore, unable to prevent the striking and issuing of a large number of double eagles, coined with the new dies. The amount issued was $385,000." This mintage had been accomplished using two of the new reverse dies shipped to San Francisco.
A total of 19,250 Paquet Reverse double eagles was coined before the order to halt production was received. The entire mintage was released into circulation, with the result that there are no Mint State examples of this issue known today. The coins circulated extensively at the time, and some were sent overseas, to be discovered in European holdings many years later. The difference in the reverse design does not seem to have been much noticed by the general public at the time of issue. In time, the coins became scarce and the story of this remarkable design was little known or remembered.
The numismatic community was surprised and delighted when the San Francisco Mint Paquet Reverse double eagle was rediscovered in 1937. An example found under an old barn in Hull, Texas re-ignited interest in this issue, which had been completely forgotten in the interval. With new awareness of the issue, more specimens were found in old-time collections and European hoards. Today, perhaps 200 specimens are known, making the issue the rarest double eagle from the San Francisco Mint.
The present coin is one of the finest surviving specimens of this interesting design. While there are no known Mint State examples of this issue, this specimen only misses by a whisker. Only the slightest friction is evident on the highest points of the design. Most of the original mint luster remains, and the vibrant orange-yellow color is still undimmed. Overall eye appeal is excellent, and this coin is worthy of a place in the most advanced U.S. gold collection. Population: 2 in 58, 0 finer (3/14).

Jiffy LubeRead MoreThe highly trained technicians at Jiffy Lube tend to about 24 million customers each year with services such as the Jiffy Lube Signature Service Oil-Change, which helps promote the longevity of each vehicle. Staffers acknowledge that oil plays a crucial role in maximizing the lifespan of each car—it cools the motor and helps prevent moving parts from deteriorating. More than 20,000 technicians who have completed an extensive training program certified by the National Institute Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) service vehicles at Jiffy Lube. In addition to performing oil changes, technicians perform preventative services such as air-filtration, among others, as well as state emissions inspections. Jiffy Lube's quality pledge includes a commitment to transparency, which stipulates that they will inform car owners of any necessary services, complete a service only after it has been approved, and refuse to replace windshields with saran wrap.7601 Camp Bowie West BlvdFort Worth, TX US
DFW Drive Your DreamRead MoreDFW Drive Your Dream grants rubber-burners the opportunity to pilot the industry's most celebrated sports cars on predetermined routes. Drivers can strap in to experience the massive 400-horsepower motor of the Ferrari 360 Spider, which vibrates with barely tamed power as it climbs to speeds nearing 180 mph. The Gallardo streaks around hairpin turns with all-wheel-drive tires propelled by a 5-liter V10 engine. Ferrari's 483-horsepower F430 has the potential to reach speeds of up to 200 mph, and the Aston Martin V8 Vantage Roadster is equipped with an automatic paddleshift gearbox and produces 379 horsepower, or roughly 95 stagecoaches, from a 4.3-liter V8 engine. Top up or top down, the Vantage Roadster maintains its sleek Aston Martin design, earning its place among the iconic cars of today.5940 Eden Dr.Fort Worth, TX US
NorthStar CarriageRead MoreA fleet of nine carriages bearing the NorthStar insignia clips and clops through the city streets of Dallas and Fort Worth, ferrying riders through historical tours and evenings filled with romance. Passengers watch the city skyline pan past their open-top carriage or opt for shelter beneath a cloth canopy as they visit historic locales. Ahead of them, a professional driver sports a white tuxedo shirt, boots, and Western hat, and his noble steed, trained at the company farm to be gentle and politely decline drag-race challenges, maintains a natural grace. Since its establishment in 1990, the company has had the honor of participating in a number of special local events, including football-victory parades and the Adolphus Children's Christmas Parade.1500 South Main Street,Fort Worth, TX US

Today, with 50 locations spread across four states, electronics-certified technicians install everything from Alpine in-dash navigation units to phone-integration systems that sync iPhones, Androids, and tin cans to car stereos. Meanwhile, in the garage, detailing technicians meticulously spruce up cars inside and out, using deionized water, paint-friendly shampoos, and high-quality wash mitts to protect against scratches, swirls, and water spots. The team also sweeps through interiors with vacuums, hot-water extractors, and ozone deodorizing treatment, which kills airborne bacteria and nasty smells in one fell swoop.5930 Overton Ridge Blvd.Fort Worth, TX US

How to fix shortage of cyber security professionals?
The cyber security skills shortage comes from an aging workforce and lack of interest in security among students. Emphasis must be put on education to close the gap.
What's behind the shortage in cyber security professionals and what can be done to close the gap?

The Cisco 2014 Annual Security Report, along with news outlets Forbes and CIO.com, estimate the shortfall of IT cyber security professionals to be well over 1 million. The shortage of skilled security workers leaves many organizations struggling to adequately monitor and protect their networks and data. The Cisco report indicates that, even when organizations have the funds to hire people, they are challenged to find prospects with current, applicable skills and knowledge.
This shortage stems from a variety of factors, such as high experience requirements, an aging security workforce and a lack of interest from students. The March 2014 Job Market Intelligence report by Burning Glass, for example, states that 84 percent of cyber security postings specify at least a bachelor's degree and two-thirds of job postings require a minimum of four years of experience. Exposure and awareness are also considerations. According to a December 2013 Medill National Security Zone article, younger people either don't know about, or aren't presented with, security as a career option as they make their plans and pursue degrees and training.
Closing the security skills gap can be accomplished mainly through education and collaboration. Primary and secondary education curricula should build in computing and information technology, emphasizing security as much as possible. Companies and government agencies should invest more funds in scholarship programs. Security training and certifications should emphasize skills needed to address security risks and explain how to apply them on the job, rather than simply requiring cert candidates to understand them. Finally, more strategies like the Delaware Cyber Initiative are needed. Still in the proposal stage, this program seeks to create a "collaborative learning and research network" in which academia, companies and nonprofits reside on the same "campus" to promote more and better interaction, and to foster and fund research and innovation around cyber security.

Circus Oz is an irreverent, beautiful, spectacular, larrikin (look it up, mate!) Australian circus credited with revitalizing a traditional theatrical art form in a uniquely Australian way. Circus Oz is a rock 'n' roll, animal-free circus that has influenced the development of circus arts around the world since its foundation in 1978. Circus Oz has toured to more than 100 cities in 26 countries, bringing its signature humor and authentic style to more than 3 million people. The ensemble's origins and aesthetic are rooted in the Australian theater style of the late 1960s and early 1970s, which included the development of an Australian artistic voice, ensemble playing and group creation, heightened and exuberant physicality, an interest in contemporary trends, breaking down the barriers between spectator and performer, an exploration of comedy populism, overt political stands and a strong focus on the performer. These overarching principles have continued to inform the group's work over the decades since its inception.

They tried to start a family and were unable to — and have decided they're okay with that. But as Josh labors over the umpteenth edit of his cerebral new film, it's plain that he has hit a dry patch and that something is still missing. Enter Jamie (Adam Driver) and Darby (Amanda Seyfried), a free-spirited young couple, who are spontaneous and untethered, ready to drop everything in pursuit of their next passion — retro board games one day, acquiring a pet chicken the next. For Josh, it's as if a door has opened back to his youth — or a youth he wishes he once had. It's not long before the restless forty-somethings, Josh and Cornelia, throw aside friends their own age — including Beastie Boy Adam Horovitz in a sly supporting role — to trail after these young hipsters who seem so plugged in, so uninhibited, so Brooklyn cool. "Before we met," Josh admits to Jamie, "the only two feelings I had left were wistful and disdainful." But is this new inspiration enough to sustain collaboration and friendship with a couple twenty years their junior? While We're Young is an openly funny cross-generational comedy of manners about aging, ambition and success, as well as a moving portrait of a marriage tested by the invading forces of youth. No film has better captured the weird, upended logic of urban sophisticates: the older ones embracing their iPads and Netflix, the young ones craving vinyl records and vintage VHS tapes. Powered by Stiller and Driver's note-perfect lead performances and loose, comic turns by Watts and Seyfried, While We're Young is a complete pleasure to watch.

Hi there, I am Hannah from Made With Hugs and Kisses and I am extremely excited to be blogging here today as part of the Seasonal Sewing Series at So Sew Easy!
I will be honest, even though I am nearly 24 I act much more like a 4 year old when it comes to Christmas!
As I am sure it does with many of you, the festive season just brings out the child in me. The lights, the decorations, the endless amounts of scrumptious food, and of course, the great excuse to craft until your heart is content. Last year I even made handmade gifts for everyone in my family!
I generally start to get excited around mid- October and my husband has to do everything in his power to stop me from going up in the loft to bring down the Christmas decorations early. However, this year has felt a little different. I just haven't been able to find my Christmas mojo yet and I am most disappointed. Would you believe, and I hate to admit this, but I have even caught myself saying that I think it is too early for the shops to be getting kitted out in Christmas gear. That is just something I would never dream of saying! So, when Deby of So Sew Easy came up with the genius idea of a Christmas themed guest post series lasting the whole month of November, I just had to join in – and I am so pleased I did because it has truly helped me get in the festive mood
Now one of my favourite things to do on Christmas day… other than give and receive presents of course… is to cook the Christmas dinner. I make a mean Christmas dinner! This is generally followed by my least favourite things to do on Christmas day… the washing up, which is where my rule of 'I cooked so I don't have to wash up' comes in useful.
As much as I enjoy cooking, I do tend to make an awful mess which leads me to the Christmas themed project I want to share with you today. My little present to you….
A Free PDF pattern for a Traditional Christmas Apron!
I call it a traditional apron not only because of my choices in fabric and colour but also because of the style of the apron. The gathered, full skirt, the ruffles and the fitted bodice work together to emphasize the traditional vintage silhouette.
As you can see, it fastens with ties around the waist and neck making it easily adjustable and comfortable. The contrasting fabric used for the ties and the skirt ruffles really stands out.
How to sew the Christmas Apron Pattern
This is a pretty straight forward pattern to follow but here are a few instructions that might be of use:
Of course you need to start by printing out the pattern, piecing together the pieces as you would a normal pdf pattern, matching the notches, letters and numbers and then cutting out the pattern and your fabric.
Seam allowances ARE included in the pattern.
1. Begin by gathering the apron skirt and bodice as stated on the pattern.
2. Take the 6 strips of fabric you are going to use to create the ruffle around the apron skirt. I know six folded strips sounds like an awful lot, but stick with it as the effect is worth it! Join these together to make one continuous strip.
3. Fold this long strip in half length ways and press using an iron.
4. You are now going to attach this straight onto the skirt, creating pleats as you go. You want to make small pleats, about a finger width wide and make sure they are following the same direction. I change direction half way around the skirt to ensure the same effect on both sides of the apron skirt. These pictures give you an idea of what the pleats should look like:
5. Once you have attached the ruffle, top stitch around the edge of the apron skirt as follows:
6. Take the bodice binding pattern piece. Fold it in half and press. Then turn in the edges to the middle to create binding, the attach this to the top and side of the bodice.
7. Take the two strips of fabric that will be used for the apron waist band. Cut one of these strips in half and attach one to each end of the second, full length pattern piece. Doing this means that you wont have an ugly seam line down the center front of your apron. Repeat with the waist band lining pattern pieces.
8. You now need to sandwich the bodice and skirt in between the lining and waist band pattern pieces. Now I have tried a couple of different ways of doing this but my preferred method it to press the seam allowances and top stitch in place. My advice is to pin it in place first before you stitch anything just to make sure your positioning is accurate.
9. Nearly there… take your two neck tie pattern pieces, fold in half length ways, right sides together and sew across the top and down the length of the strip. Turn the right way around and press flat.
10. Attach to the bodice of the apron, again p in first to check positioning. These pictures show you the front of the apron and the inside view, showing how I have attached the straps.
And there you have it, your Christmas apron is complete!
I hope you like it and find the pattern useful. I want to see you all wearing aprons this Christmas and cooking up some wonderful treats!
Thank you ever so much Deby for inviting me to stop by and share my ideas. It has been a lot of fun creating a festive themed project and I now feel truly read for the holiday season!
Merry Christmas everyone, and happy festive sewing, Love Hannah Smith from Made with Hugs and Kisses

Here are your "Leftgovers" from the Nashville Predators game on Thursday night against the St. Louis Blues… — LEFTOVER THOUGHTS: * Jon Blum, Brian McGrattan and Paul Gaustad were scratched for the Predators. * Blum has yet to appear in a game this season. * Gaustad missed his third straight game with an upper-body injury. * Recent St. Louis signee Wade Redden made his debut in a Blues sweater. It was his first NHL game since April of 2010. * Redden got the start on the blueline and was paired with phenom Alex Pietrangelo. * Preds forward Craig Smith began the game on the fourth line but did see power play time. * The first period was, by far, Nashville's worst period of the young season. They registered just three shots on goal, took two penalties and seemed to be completely out of sorts. * It took Nashville nearly 8:00 to register a shot in the middle frame as well. * Mike Fisher was, at least in part, responsible for all three Blues tallies. His penalty led to their first goal (on...

Denver-based Frontier Airlines marked its third consecutive month of profitability after posting $7.2 million in net income in June following profitable months in April and May.
Last month's performance compares to Frontier's net loss of $8.8 million in June 2008 and is the fifth time Frontier has achieved profitability since entering Chapter 11 Bankruptcy protection in April 2008-it also reported profits last November and December.
Excluding special items primarily due to $5.4 million in reorganization costs, Frontier would have posted a $12.5 million profit. That figure contrasts with Frontier's June 2008 net loss of $5.5 million, excluding $3.4 million in reorganization costs.
The carrier has published monthly financial updates since entering Chapter 11, as is required, and its latest report also touts an eighth consecutive monthly operating profit.
The carrier's June revenues outpaced expenses propelling the carrier to a $14.2 million operating profit, compared to an operating loss of $3.2 million for the same period last year.
The carrier's expenses fell in June fell toto $86.4 million from $135.2 million as mainline fuel costs dropped roughly 61% to $24.4 million.
Frontier's revenues dropped to $100.6 million in June from $132.1 million in June 2008.
At the same time, the operator posted declines in both mainline passenger revenue per available seat mile (PRASM) and mainline unit revenue (RASM).
Frontier's PRASM was 14.5% lower than in June 2008 while RASM dropped 10% from the year prior.
Frontier also ended June 2009 with $69.4 million in cash and cash equivalents, a 17% increase compared to the $59.3 million the carrier reported in June 2008.
In addition to monthly results, Frontier also posted quarterly figures. Its second quarter net income of $12.6 million is an improvement from the $57.7 million loss it recorded for the period last year.
Excluding special items primarily driven by $14.9 million in reorganization expenses, the airline would have reported a second quarter net income of $27.6 million, which contrasts to a net loss of $49 million excluding special items for the year-prior primarily driven by $8.8 million in reorganization costs.
Frontier also reported a second quarter operating profit of $33 million compared to an operating loss of $41.5 million for the second quarter last year as sales outpaced expenses.
Frontier's latest financial results follow regional operator Republic Airways Holdings receiving bankruptcy court approval to purchase 100% of equity in a reorganised Frontier.
Republic is a former partner to Frontier, operating 12 Embraer E-170s from Frontier's Denver hub until June of 2008. Frontier ended the air services agreement after filing for bankruptcy protection.
