All of my August mommies on my other forum are having theirs and I am happy for them but I want it to be my turn I want to be to be able to roll over in bed and sit up without wanting to die from the painView Thread
39 weeks 3 days
W/g: 28 lbs ( I gained 8 lbs in a week again and my dr can't figure out why )
S/c: Have been feeling sick to my stomach again and even threw up the other day also ( tmi ) looser bm and my toes keep swelling up
BH/Contractions were 8-10 minutes apart for 6 hours and then went down to 5 mins apart so I went for a walk and now they are back to 10 mins apart.
Next D/a : August 10thView Thread
edd is still August 12th
Team Yellow
We are keeping the names a secret but we do have names picked out
I have my 39 week appointment on the 10th even though I will be 40 weeks on SundayView Thread
I guess my little one must be really comfy in thereView Thread
38 weeks 1 day
W/g: 21lbs
S/c: Lots of BH and now they are starting to become more uncomfortable also ( TMI ) looser bm and just feeling icky hopefully my body is getting ready to go into labor especially since there is a full moon on the 1st
Other: not much else going on I have the baby's room done and the house is clean so nothing to do but wait
Next D/a: August 2ndView Thread
the only way I can describe it better is ( and sorry if it's tmi )
discharge spreads its self around like if you wipe after going to the bathroom the discharge is spread on the whole piece of toilet paper where as with a mucus plug its thick and won't spread like at all ... kind of like if you have a bad cold and blow your nose thick snot doesn't spread like at all.
My doctor actually told me you can lose your plug and it will regenerate it's self though out your pregnancy the only time to really be concerned is if there is an pink or red in it because then it's your bloody show and labor is closeView Thread
the theme we chose was rubber ducks lol so everything is neutral light shades of blue, yellow and some green.
once we have our baby I am sure we change the theme to something gender specific but for now rubber ducks it is View Thread
I really hope to go in the next couple of days because my " used to be abs " are killing me from so many bh/contractions and the last few days I have had way softer bm ( sorry tmi ) and then today my mood swings went haywire and I have been way worse then normal .
I guess I am just in a mood and am tired of feeling like I look like a whale and move as fast as a snail doesView Thread
coconut oil helps me for a little while but then the itchiness starts up again...I cannot wait for this baby to get here so that the itchiness goes awayView Thread

ESR and ENDOR studies of irradiated cysteine HCl: Decarboxylation75(1981); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.441995View Description Hide Description
K‐band ESR and ENDOR spectra of irradiated single crystals of L‐cysteine hydrochloride monohydrate at 65 K provide evidence for an unstable carbon‐centered radical produced by decarboxylation. The unpaired electron is localized in a 2p orbital on the alpha carbon. An α‐proton hyperfine coupling with principal values −104.8, −65.4, and −33.1 MHz has been measured. Five β‐proton couplings have also been observed, of which three are exchangeable.
Chemical shift scaling in NMR of rotating solids75(1981); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.441996View Description Hide Description
An improved version of the chemical shift scaling multipulse cycle is demonstrated that eliminates the dependence of the direction of the axis of precession on the extent of scaling. This prevents the formation of a zero‐frequency artifact in the final spectrum. Results from liquid, as well as stationary and spinning solid samples, are described.
Superparamagnetic effects in the ferromagnetic resonance of silica supported nickel particles75(1981); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.441997View Description Hide Description
A silica supported Ni catalyst has been investigated by electron magnetic resonance between 293 and 4.2 K. A relatively narrow absorption signal with linewidth ΔH p p ?400 Oe is observed at temperatures ?150 K as a result of motional averaging of the magnetocrystalline anistropy field H a of the Ni particles resulting from superparamagnetism. Broadening of the resonance occurs at lower temperatures because of a reduction of the influence of thermal fluctuations. A line shape analysis of the observed resonance signals is carried out employing the theory of ferromagnetic resonance in polycrystallinematerial. The calculated anisotropy field is reduced in the particles as compared to bulk Ni. The Landau–Lifshitz relaxation frequency obtained from the calculated ''single crystal'' linewidths are found to be larger than those of bulk Ni single crystals. Concurrently with line broadening, the resonance shifts to lower magnetic fields. The resonance shifts are approximately H a /2. The appearance of magnetoelastic effects in the resonance below 120 K indicates the presence of small but significant strain in the particles resulting from particle‐support interaction.
Infrared diode laser spectrum of the ν1 band of CF2 (X̃ 1 A 1)75(1981); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.441998View Description Hide Description
The ν1 fundamental band of difluorocarbene (CF2) in its ground electronic state has been investigated using diode laserabsorption spectroscopy. Several R Q branches have been assigned and analyzed. The effects of asymmetry doubling become measurably large in Q branches with low K and in R Q 3 provide a rigorous test of the assignment. Combined with microwave data for the ground state, the diode laserspectra yield v = 1 rotational constants and the first accurate measurement of the band center: ν1 = 1225.0793(40) cm−1.
Isotopically decoupled vibrational spectra and proton exchange rates for crystalline NH3 and ammonia hydrate75(1981); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.441999View Description Hide Description
Codeposits of NH3 with ND3 or D2O have been prepared at liquid nitrogen temperatures in the absence of proton exchange. Vibrational data for the anhydrous cubic crystalline ammonia, containing isolated NH3 or ND3, confirm that, relative to water ice, intermolecular coupling in ammonia ice exerts a relatively minor influence on the infrared and Raman spectra. Nevertheless, sizeable decoupling shifts, particularly for ν1, have been observed and attributed to a combination of factors including correlation field and Fermi resonance effects. The Raman polarization data has also affirmed long standing assignments of ν1 and ν3 for ammonia ice. Warming of the ammonia thin films resulted in limited isotopic scrambling at 130 K, apparently possible only through the agency of trace concentrations of water. The vibrational coupling pattern for the resultant NHD2 and NH2D molecules suggest that proton (deuteron) migration away from the exchange centers is impossible at temperatures up to 150 K. By contrast, isotopic scrambling was rapid and complete at 140 K for amorphous ammonia hydrate films (∼35% NH3, ∼65% D2O) which were also prepared without exchange at ∼90 K. The proton (deuteron) exchange rate is much greater for the amorphous ammonia hydrate at 140 K than for pure water ice. Such exchange requires both ion‐pair defect formation and proton mobility. Since the NH3 suppresses the H3O+ concentration via formation of NH+ 4, a suppression the likes of which has been shown to stop proton exchange in water ice, the evidence strongly suggests that NH4 + in ammonia, like H3O+ in water, is an effective proton transfer agent, probably acting through a tunneling mechanism (i.e., H3N+–H⋅⋅⋅NH3→H3N⋅⋅⋅H–N+H3 etc.) to render the proton mobile in the ammonia hydrate. This mobility combined with the greater NH4 + concentration, relative to the H3O+ concentration in H2O iceI c , results in isotopic scrambling at the reduced temperature.
Resonance enhanced dynamic Rayleigh scattering75(1981); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.442000View Description Hide Description
A semiclassical theory relating the molecular resonanceRayleigh scattering intensity to the extinction coefficient of an electronic transition is presented. For isotropic molecules, the theory is shown to be equivalent to classical fluctuationtheory. The semiclassical theory is then extended to include anisotropicpolarizabilities. Depolarized scattering intensities and depolarization ratios are calculated for a model system, and the general features of previous experimental data are explained. Inclusion of inhomogeneous broadening in the theory predicts increased scattering intensities and decreased vibrational resolution of the scattering profile. Depolarized Rayleigh linewidths and intensity profiles are presented for a series of diphenylpolyenes, several coumarin laser dyes, and 3,4‐dinitrophenol in its neutral and ionic forms. The ideal molecular properties and experimental conditions for the use of resonance enhanced dynamic Rayleigh scattering are deduced.
On the ESR detection of the σ‐radical RNHĊO in irradiated crystals of 5,5‐dihydroxybarbituric acid (alloxan) trihydrate75(1981); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.442001View Description Hide Description
In single crystals of 5,5‐dihydroxybarbituric acid (alloxan) trihydrate, an ESR absorption was observed after irradiation at 77 K which is ascribed to a σ‐radical RNHĊ = O. Its spectral parameters are described and compared to those from the structurally similar σ‐acyl radical in malonic and succinic acid. It is suggested that the radical is formed from the primary oxidation product RCȮ(OH) through electronic rearrangements leading to an opening of the pyrimidine ring.
Absorption and circular dichroism line shapes of a molecular dimer in the strong electronic coupling limit75(1981); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.442002View Description Hide Description
We have derived approximate analytical expressions for the absorption and circular dichroism line shapes of a molecular dimer composed of two identical molecules (each with a single excited electronic state and single vibrational mode) in the strong electronic coupling limit. These are compared with numerical results and yield excellent agreement. We compare our approach to other theories and discuss experimental applications and possible extensions of this work.
Polarized two‐photon fluorescence excitation studies of pyrimidine75(1981); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.442003View Description Hide Description
Two‐photon fluorescence excitation studies are reported for pyrimidine (1, 3‐diazine) dissolved in a hexane solution at room temperature. Quantitative two‐photon absorption strengths for the three lowest electronic absorption bands are measured relative to the benzene B 2u ← A 1g two‐photon transition. The B 1(nπ*) ← A 1 excitation profile matches the one‐photon absorption band closely, indicating an allowed two‐photon transition. However, the B 2(ππ*) two‐photon intensity is vibronically induced by a 1600 cm−1 b 2 vibration, even though transitions into this state are formally two‐photon allowed. In addition, polarization analysis is used to uncover a new transition in pyrimidine in a region of overlapping absorptions. This new transition is assigned to the lowest A 2(nπ*) state. If this assignment is correct, the A 2(nπ*), B 1(nπ*) splitting is 1.4 eV. Spectroscopic CNDO and INDO calculations of the two‐photon absorption strengths are also reported.
Relaxation parameters for power‐broadened microwave line shapes. I. Anderson theory75(1981); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.441992View Description Hide Description
A model is developed for the calculation of collisional cross sections for all spherical tensor orders. The model is based on the Anderson low‐power linewidththeory. General expressions are derived for the cross sections and then evaluated for the case of multipole–multipole interaction potentials. Motivated by application to power‐broadened microwave line shapes, the dependence of the cross sections on tensor order is discussed. It is shown that for the typically dominant case of dipole–dipole potentials, many of the cross sections are independent of tensor order. The order dependence for other potentials is discussed.
Relaxation parameters for power‐broadened microwave line shapes. II. Sudden approximation75(1981); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.441993View Description Hide Description
A sudden approximation, utilizing linear trajectories and a dipole–dipole potential as developed by Cross [J. Chem. Phys. 55, 510 (1971)], is extended to enable calculation of collisional relaxation parameters of arbitrary tensor order. Expressions are given for linear rotors and symmetric tops. The relaxation parameters factorize into a dynamical part and an angular momentum part and are expressible as linear combinations of collisional transition probabilities out of the j = 0 rotational level. This is in agreement with previous discussions of the infinite order sudden approximation to the coupled states equations. An experiment is proposed which would enable the determination of all polarizationrelaxation times of a given transition. The results of such an experiment would help to define the validity of the sudden approximation in calculating relaxation cross sections. Finally, application of the sudden approximation to four‐level double resonance experiments is discussed.
Relaxation parameters for power‐broadened microwave transitions. III. Numerical calculations75(1981); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.441994View Description Hide Description
The collisional relaxation parameters needed for the calculation of power‐broadened line shapes of the j = 2←1 transition in OCS and the (j, k) = (3, 3) transition in NH3 have been calculated by the modified Anderson theory and the sudden approximation described in papers I and II of this series. Relaxation parameters of all tensor orders have been obtained, enabling a comparison of the Karplus–Schwinger–Townes line shape and the recently‐derived continued‐fraction line shape for power‐broadened microwave transitions. It is shown, for the two transitions studied and the relaxation parameters calculated, that the Karplus–Schwinger–Townes equation is a very good representation of the continued‐fraction line shape. However, the (T 1/T 2)0 obtained is 5–10% larger than the true T 1/T 2.
Intersystem crossing in cold isolated molecules of naphthalene75(1981); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.442004View Description Hide Description
We report the results of an extensive study of the rate of radiationless decay in very cold, isolated, naphthalene molecules. The experimental method employed, namely, pulsed narrow band laser excitation of a pulsed seeded supersonic free jet, avoids the complications imposed by the sequence congestion generated by the thermal excitation characteristic of ordinary vapor samples. Our analysis of the fluorescence decay includes a method for transforming room temperature quantum yield data to quantum yields characteristic of the molecules in the supersonic free jet. It is concluded that (a) the out of plane vibration 2(b 2g ) is very likely a promoting mode for intersystem crossing; (b) there is no need to invoke near resonant coupling of levels in the prepared singlet and final triplet manifolds to explain features of the radiationless decay; and (c) in general, the broad features of radiationless decay in naphthalene are very much like those of the corresponding decay in benzene, and can be similarly explained.
Fluorescence spectroscopy of cold and warm naphthalene molecules: Some new vibrational assignments75(1981); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.442005View Description Hide Description
The fluorescence excitation spectrum of naphthalene seeded in a supersonic free jet and the single vibronic level fluorescencespectrum of room temperature naphthalene vapor have been used to determine assignments for a number of combination and sequence transitions that were previously unassigned. Our data, when combined with data in the literature, require some changes in previous assignments. The spectroscopic literature on naphthalene and naphthalene‐d 8 is reviewed and up‐to‐date tables of vibrational frequencies are presented.
On the separation of resonance Raman scattering into orders in the time correlator theory75(1981); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.442006View Description Hide Description
A detailed study is carried out of the separation of resonance Raman scattering into orders within the time‐correlator formulation of Hizhnyakov and Tehver (HT). This formulation is exact for a multimode system at all temperatures and for all electron–phonon coupling strengths within well‐defined ''standard assumptions.'' As in any Raman theory, the full m‐phonon Raman scattering involves the electron–phonon coupling to infinite order, owing to virtual phonon transitions accompanying the m real final state phonon transitions. The HT separation into orders is seen to correspond to a particularly convenient grouping of the contributions, such that the full m‐phonon scattering is expressed as a power series in e x p l i c i t orders of the electron–phonon coupling, but with each term of the series also containing factors involving the electron–phonon coupling i m p l i c i t l y to infinite order. Each term of this series except the first vanishes for T→ 0, with the result that the (explicitly) mth order scattering and the full m‐phonon scattering are identical at T = 0. Most importantly, at any temperature the contributions from each order to the resonance Raman excitation profile line shapes are obtainable from the optical absorption in a direct and simple way. We have previously stressed the usefulness of the first‐order version of this feature for the analysis of experimental data, and here that work is contrasted with recent work of Hassing and Mortensen, who expressed the full one‐phonon series for a single‐mode system in a different form. For completeness, a detailed derivation of the entire theory is given, including proofs via phonon many‐body techniques of the two fundamental identities upon which the HT approach rests and which were not proven in HT's rather condensed presentation of their time‐correlator formulation.
Classical, diatomic molecule, kinetic theory cross sections. II. Collision dynamics75(1981); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.442007View Description Hide Description
The dynamics of collisions between nonvibrating diatomic molecules is discussed in terms of a system of collision coordinates introduced earlier in the development of classical expressions for the generalized or kinetic theory cross sections. The expressions developed earlier are then rewritten in terms of precollision values of functions introduced in the discussion of the dynamics, which may be evaluated either through a perturbationsolution of the equations or a stepwise numerical solution.
Picosecond kinetics of p‐dimethylaminobenzonitrile75(1981); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.442008View Description Hide Description
The nanosecond and picosecond resolved dual fluorescences of p‐dimethylaminobenzonitrile (DAB), in various solvents and glasses excited by 266 nm 20 ps FWHM laser pulses, have been investigated. Pulse‐limited rise times are exhibited by the b*‐state emission whose decay in turn feeds directly the risetime of a*‐state emission at 440–600 nm in most solvents studied. The a*‐state emission was monitored at 520–600 nm in order to eliminate contribution from the b*‐state. Within the experimental resolution, the b*‐state fluorescence decay times vary approximately linearly with solventviscosity. The a*‐state fluorescence decay times vary with both solvent and temperature, and may reflect either thermally assisted intersystem crossing from the solvated singlet a*‐state (presumably of twisted internal charge transfer character) to a corresponding solvated triplet of slightly higher energy, or a thermally activated internal conversion of the 1TICT to the ground state.

Measurements have been made of the time decay of NCl(b 1Σ+,v′) generated by the laser photolysis (193 nm) of ClN3 diluted in helium. Rate constants for collisional quenching of the v′ = 0 level of the b 1Σ+ state are 47.7±1.3(ClN3), 0.54±0.25 (Cl2), 7.1±0.6 (F2), 38±3 (ClF), 7.4±0.3 (H2), 59±3 (HF), 33±3 (HCl), and 1.71±0.06 (CO2) in units of 103 s−1 Torr−1. These results are interpreted in terms of possible reactive and energy transfer mechanisms for electronic quenching. With the exception of ClN3, quenching within the vibrational manifold of the b 1Σ+ state is faster than electronic quenching for each of the chaperone gases tested. Analysis of the b 1Σ+ decay rate for quenching by ClN3 indicates that 13±2% of the vibrational energy contained in NCl(b 1Σ+) is utilized in enhancing the rate of the quenching process.
Experimental appraisal of the maximal‐entropy theory of multiphoton ionization‐fragmentation: The alternative ionization pathway test75(1981); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.442010View Description Hide Description
An experimental test of the Silberstein–Levine (SL) maximal‐entropy theory of multiphoton ionization‐fragmentation has been devised and applied to a diverse group of polyatomic molecules. The MPI fragmentation pattern of a given compound is strongly dependent upon the laser wavelength (which governs the ''pathway'' to the continuum) and the laser power density (and pulse energy). Nevertheless, it is found possible to obtain similar fragmentation patterns at several wavelengths (i.e., via different pathways) by adjusting the laser power so as to excite the molecule/ion system to the same average value of internal energy 〈E〉. Data are presented for benzene, toluene, t‐butylbenzene, triethylenediamine, quinuclidine, and iodomethane, all of which tend to confirm the major premise of the SL theory that the branching fraction pattern is governed by the single parameter 〈E〉.
Statistical fragmentation patterns in multiphoton ionization: A comparison with experiment75(1981); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.442011View Description Hide Description
Breakdown curves computed in the statistical limit are presented for benzene, toluene, t‐butylbenzene, triethylenediamine, and iodomethane. The statistical limit is that of the fragmentation pattern of maximal entrophy (subject only to conserved quantities). In this limit the fragmentation pattern is governed by the mean energy 〈E〉 absorbed per molecule. By varying 〈E〉 it is found possible to span the range from low to extensive fragmentation. For the five molecules tested, the statistical limit reproduces the experimental multiphoton ionization‐fragmentation patterns reported by Lichtin, Bernstein, and Newton as is expected on the basis of their experimental, ''alternative doorway'' appraisal. Another prediction, not yet tested by experiment, is that in the statistical limit it should prove possible to obtain similar fragmentation patterns for different isomers (e.g., naphthalene and azulene). Internal state distributions offer a third way in which the statistical limit can be compared with experiment.

YIELD: Makes 6 popovers
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter cut into 6 pieces
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten, at room temperature
- 1 cup whole milk, at room temperature
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Preheat the oven to 400° F for 20 minutes. Place 1 piece of butter in the bottom of each cup of a six-cup popover tin (or six 1/2-cup custard cups). Place the popover pan on a baking sheet.
In a smaller bowl, lightly whisk the eggs until they change color. Whisk in the milk.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and salt until well blended. Gently whisk the egg mixture into the flour mixture until only small lumps are left, and set aside.
Place the popover tin and baking sheet in the oven for 4 minutes. At 3 minutes, give the batter a light whisk. Using an oven mitt, remove the hot tin from the oven and immediately divide the batter among the prepared cups. Bake for 25 minutes without opening the oven door. The popovers will be puffy, with crisp brown crusts and hollow, moist interiors. Serve immediately.

text: PlayStation Vita won't hit US and Europe until 2012 Gaming 05 August 11 by Mark Brown Sony You can scratch the PlayStation Vita off your Christmas wishlist -- Sony has said that the handheld console won't hit America and Europe until early 2012.In an interview with the Associated Press, Sony executive vice president Kazuo Hirai said that the PSP-successor will go on sale before the year is out in Japan, but the console won't be available in the US and Europe until the following year.Hirai also confirmed that Sony will stand firm on its original price point, despite a sharp price cut from rival Nintendo.The Wi-Fi only edition of the PlayStation Vita will cost $249.99 when it launches in the US next year. At the moment, that's the exact same price as the Nintendo 3DS. But later this month, the 3DS will slash its trade price to $169.99."There is no need to lower the price just because somebody else that happens to be in the video game business decided that they were going to lower their price," Hirari argued. "We packed so much into the device and made it very affordable."There is, to Hirari's credit, an awful lot inside the Vita. The ultra powerful console has a quad-core processor, a massive 5-inch OLED touchscreen, a pair of VGA cameras, a sensitive touch panel on its reverse and all the buttons you need to play games like Uncharted and Wipeout. Edited by Duncan Geere Comments why does it hit us so late??? Nasir Sep 21st 2011 Gucci sent their fall/winter 2012/2013 collection down the Milan Fashion Week runway today and it featured a much darker, more gothic and vampire-like color palette than what was shown by the iconic design house for fall 2011. One year ago Gucci Outlet showed bright colors and blocked them together, helping to explode the current color blocking trend. For fall 2012, Gucci moved away from the trend they started and let black rule the runway. vvfdafgrgas Apr 19th 2012 Reply to a comment Name Email Comment Submit » Latest on wired.co.uk

|Fashion Belle's Review
The mega-retailer of sewing patterns online, SewingPatterns.com sells most pattern brands, including independent ones, often with promotional sales. This site is quick to navigate, though links are not always updated, and many of the featured brands offer a larger selection of patterns on their home sites than are available through SewingPatterns.com. However, a few brands use this site as their exclusive online pattern outlet for North America.
This company offers a mixture of classic styles that are still worn today along with some vintage 1980s and 1990s styles. Several special pattern options make this collection worth a look, like a culotte jumper, simple silhouettes with tie-back waistlines, and an extended plus size range and nursing clothing patterns.
This California-based company produces patterns with crafty, patchwork touches. From the site, "We strive for innovative styles that are comfortable and flattering for a variety of body shapes and sizes."
Silhouette Patterns offers classically-styled pattern designs.
Textile Studio Patterns sells a handful of core wardrobe basic patterns with simple, streamlined silhouettes. A new website is currently in development, but as of June 2014 the owner informed us that ordering is fully operative with the older website that is online.
This pattern collection centers around feminine, loose-fitting styles. The pictured style is part of the Muumuus series. A Hawaiian and Resort series is also offered.
Seamstresses with quilting experience or who enjoy using printed quilting cottons for sewing clothing will enjoy these wearable art pattern designs.
Named after affectionate address the daughters gave their mother in the novel Little Women, Marmee Dear offers a small yet exclusive collection of original patterns. The Marmee Dear website also offers several other pattern brands.
Use your imagination and pretty fabrics to sew with these art wear patterns which have only sketches rather than real photos of the finished product to guide dressmakers. Most of these styles are intended to fit loosely.
This company produces designs they call "patterns for classic women," with styling reminiscent of the early 1990s. A few of the basic silhouettes would still apply to modern use.
Three collections of streamlined designs with from this pattern supplier provide forgiving lines that flatter figures of both the "young and young at heart," as the company says on its site.
A sole patternmaker, Loes Hinse herself, maintains an archive of several classic women's clothing patterns she has created over the years. New patterns for this collection are being distributed through the pattern section of Casual Elegance Fabrics.
This online store stocks a significant collection of exclusively modest patterns from independent brands, including several patterns that you may not be able to find anywhere else. Most of the styles are classic in design.
Designed for women 5'4" or under in sizes 14 to 24, this brand provides patterns with classic silhouettes.
These loose-fitting designs provide inspiration for crafters who enjoy adding unique details to garments.

I liked it, and I think I'll like it even more with repeated viewings. David Fincher has a track record of directing movies that I really enjoy (cf. Fight Club, Se7en, Zodiac; I even thought Panic Room was pretty okay), so I wasn't surprised that he managed to take a subject as potentially dull as the founding of a glorified, cooler-looking, less-spam-bot-infested MySpace and turn it into something pretty slick.
That said, there's some interesting conversations going on about what many perceive to be the movie's less-than-flattering portrayal of Facebook founder extraordinaire Mark Zuckerberg. And I won't deny that there are moments within the film that make Zuckerberg come off as kind of an unlikeable asshole (or as a guy trying really hard to be one). But ultimately, I think he's portrayed as what he really is--a guy with a Pretty Cool Idea who wasn't afraid to run with it and who stuck to his guns when people came after him. You could argue that such qualities constitute being an asshole, but I have to admire Zuckerberg nonetheless, in the same sort of way I admire Harlan Ellison or Chuck Yeager--not the nicest guys in the world, but so damn smart/ballsy/determined that ultimately "nice" or "friendly" or "playing well with others" has little to do with it. "Nice" is not necessarily a quality of greatness, after all.
"But Alex!" you shout in perturbation. "There are also reports that the movie takes liberties with the facts! Maybe that's not who Zuckerberg really is!" Well, yes, I don't doubt it, especially given that the movie's based on a book which the most helpful Amazon review describes as "Tabloid Quality Dramatic Narrative" and which reportedly received most of its info from Eduardo Saverin, whom I doubt is chumming it up with Zuckerberg at the moment. (Zuckerberg himself has called the movie "fiction.") I doubt that the real Mark Zuckerberg is as socially inept and self-absorbed as the movie would have you believe; it's entirely possible he's really just some okay dude who's being smear-campaigned with Winklevoss-endorsed libelous truthiness.
But ultimately, so what? Even though I don't necessarily think the movie's portrait is that negative in the first place, I suspect Sorkin and Fincher could have made Zuckerberg out to be a maniacal homophobe who bathes in infant's blood and is currently turning FarmVille property into virtual kolkhozy and sokhozy to set up his own internet dictatorship, and he'd still be the youngest billionaire in the world. Why? Because everyone uses Facebook. Well, almost everyone. I can count on two hands the number of people in my age group who aren't currently on Facebook; I can count on one hand the number of people in my age group who haven't ever been on Facebook. (There are precisely two, and one of them had a MySpace.) Besides, the movie isn't even really about Facebook itself; it's about this guy with an idea and how he made it work, and the stuff that happened to him along the way, and that's what makes it interesting.
Oh, and the soundtrack's pretty nifty too. My previous reactions to Trent Reznor's work has been along the lines of "all right, not too bad, but nothing that gets me super-pumped," but he's (along with HDA bandmate Atticus Ross) done a pretty awesome job with the soundtrack. Check it out for sure.

Valve has purchased a small game studio in the San Francisco area and seems to be opening a new office in the Bay Area. But for what purpose?
The studio in question, Star Filled Studios, is a two man operation staffed by Blizzard and PopCap veterans Jeff Gates and Tod Semple. Their most notable resume lines include stints on Diablo III and Plants Vs. Zombies, but they've got a varied resume, between the two of them, including Gates' time as a physics professor and Semple's lengthy experience developing game engines.
Fans might remember Valve has bought a studio before, specifically Turtle Rock Studios, developers of the original Left 4 Dead. Turtle Rock was ultimately absorbed into Valve and then reformed as an independent entity with Valve's blessing.
Our Take: This could be as simple as Valve feeling it needs a presence in the tech heavy Bay Area, but that seems a bit unlikely. You don't hire developers like Gates and Semple because you want them to go to cocktail parties and collect resumes.
It seems likely Valve has plans to start developing more games… although what kind of games and how this ties into Valve's franchises remains to be seen.

Peter Jackson really wants to get the band back together. That band being the cast of Lord Of The Rings. But what if one of those band members has moved on to join an actual band?
Flight Of The Conchords" star Bret McKenzie had a brief cameo in Lord Of The Rings before finding success by dressing up as a rapping robot. During the council meeting in Fellowship Of The Ring, the camera pans to a random elf played by McKenzie. His character never factors into the plot nor was he given an official name. He actually became known as Figwit once fans nicknamed him that.
As he's doing with most of the original cast, Jackson wants McKenzie to reprise his role in The Hobbit. There's no word on whether his role will be expanded, but I kind of hope that he's once again only featured when the camera pans to reveal him listening in. Maybe this time he can be eating a sandwich or something. (Stuff)

August 22, 2013
LINCOLN – Governor Pat Quinn today announced a capital investment of more than $17.3 million for a construction project involving several bridges in Logan County. The project is part of Governor Quinn's agenda to create jobs and drive Illinois' economy forward.
"This construction project will improve several bridges along Interstate 55," Governor Quinn said. "Additionally, it will also employ a number of construction workers, which will help the local economy as well."
Twelve bridges along Interstate 55 will be repaired, including deck replacement, joint repairs and concrete overlay. The bridges are located west of Business 55 north of Lincoln to County Highway 6 in Atlanta. Sangamo Construction Company of Springfield was the lowest of three bidders for the work at $17,315,475. The Illinois Department of Transportation will manage the project.
This project is part of Governor Quinn's $31 billion Illinois Jobs Now! program, which will support more than 439,000 jobs over six years. Illinois Jobs Now! is the largest capital construction program in Illinois history, and is one of the largest capital construction programs in the nation.

Since Ben has posted on the new hypoallergenic cat, I thought it pertinent to talk a little about the Granddaddy of transgenic pet services, that is the company known as Genetics Savings and Clones.
Here's a company with some pretty strong research credentials having been published in the not too shabby Nature (this was the cloning of a cat named "cc:"). In essence, they were the first to provide a pet cloning service with the February 2004 launch of their "Nine Lives Extravaganza," to the first 9 clients for $50,000 each. This by the way, was adverstised as coming with a "free video", presumably showcasing the various steps involved in cloning your particular cat.
Nowadays, you can get the same service with their reduced price of $32,000, which like before, still comes with a money back guarantee, although now it's not so clear that you still get the free video. I'm not about to make any judgement calls here, except to say that I find the whole "free video" aspect quite amusing. I can see those first 9 customers thinking the following:
Man, $50,000 is an awful lot of money. I'm just not sure Fluffy is worth that amount of dough… Oh wait, what's this? – it comes with a free video? Well, that changes everything…
As well, the notion that a company that provides cloning services actually has an online Gift Shop section makes for great fodder in the teaching anecdote department. That's right, folks, ou can get gift certificates amongst other things. Anyway, their site is worth checking out, since it's pretty comprehensive in that "at least they're ethically aware" vs "is this for real?" manner.
And yes,.. they're working on dog cloning, which means that maybe once and for all, enough genetic information will be acquired to answer one of the all time important phylogenetic questions – that is what the hell is "Goofy"? (is he a dog? Is he a man? Is he a man-dog?…)

Component of: pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (extended summary available)
The α2β2-heterotetrameric human pyruvate dehydrogenase, one of the three main components of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex, utilizes the thiamin pyrophosphate cofactor to cleave the Cα-C(=O) bond of pyruvate, followed by reductive acetyl transfer to lipoyl-dihydrolipoamide acetyltransferase (the E2 component of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex).
The crystal structure of the holo-form of the E1 enzyme was resolved at 1.95-A resolution [Ciszak03].

The pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDH) is a large enzyme complex made up of multiple copies of three enzymes: E1 (20-30 copies of pyruvate dehydrogenase, an α2β2 heterotetramer), 60 copies of E2 (dihydrolipoamide acetyltransferase), and six homodimers of E3 (dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase), together with the E3 binding protein, which is involved in the interaction between the E2 and E3 subunits.
Within the PDH complex, the E2 subunit forms the structural core and accepts acetyl groups from E1 and transfers them to coenzyme A. The irreversible decarboxylation of pyruvate and its conversion to acetyl-CoA by the PDH complex precedes the entry of glucose carbon into the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle. This process is fundamental to the aerobic oxidation of glucose and is of particular importance in the brain where it is the obligatory pathway for energy generation under normal conditions [McWilliam10].
The mitochondrial pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC) plays a critical fuel selection role in determining whether glucose-linked substrates are converted to acetyl-CoA. When carbohydrate stores are reduced, mammalian PDC activity is down-regulated and limits the oxidative utilization of glucose in most non-neural tissues.
Four pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase (PDK) isozymes and two pyruvate dehydrogenase phosphatase (PDP) isoforms control the activity state of PDC by determining the proportion of the pyruvate dehydrogenase (E1) component that is in the active, nonphosphorylated state [Roche03].

Spending most of their preseason time on the road, the CEU woman's basketball team headed south to Yuma Arizona for the Desert Classic Tournament Nov. 12 and 13.
The Lady Eagles picked up their first win of the young season against Yavapai, beating them 58-56. The next night a stronger Arizona College team handed them their third defeat of the year with a 63-49 loss. The Eagles are 1-3 on the season.
Against Yavapai, the Lady Eagles started strong and built a 28-19 lead at the half. But Yavapai came back and made it a close game until the final buzzer, with CEU holding on for the two point win. Kaylie Robinson was the dominant force for the Lady Eagles. She scored 26 points and pulled in nine rebounds to help secure the win.
Against Arizona, the Lady Eagles struggled to get the ball to drop through the net. They shot a mere 25 percent from the floor. They found themselves down 23 by the half. They did finally get on track and outscored Arizona by nine in the final period, but it just wasn't enough.
Bruna Deichmann did manage 12 points to lead the CEU women. Robinson continued to work the boards and pulled in another 10 rebounds.
The team now heads north to Casper, WY for three days Nov 19-21.
They will meet up with Casper College, Miles City Community College and Colby Community College on this road trip.
They will begin conference play against Colorado Northwestern On Tuesday Nov. 23 with tip off at 3 p.m. in the BDAC. The men's game will follow at 5 p.m.

Former festival director Lynn "Doc" Skinner recalls longtime relationship with jazz great
No matter the holiday, Lynn "Doc" Skinner could guarantee his phone would ring. Christmas, Valentine's Day, Fourth of July and on the birth of each grandchild – it would ring.
And on the other end of the line would be a great talent and even greater friend, Lionel Hampton.
"When our kids were born, he called them his grandkids," Skinner said. "When our granddaughter was born 18 years ago, he sent her two dozen roses. She didn't even know what a rose was at six weeks."
In addition to friendly check-ins, these calls would increase in frequency as February neared closer and the duo began gearing up for the University of Idaho Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival.
The festival was a passionate subject that strengthened the relationship between both music enthusiasts. Hampton, the renowned vibraphonist for which the festival is named, and Skinner, former UI director of music education and festival director for 30 years.
"We'd meet and talk," he said. "I literally would spend 30-40 hours talking with him about the schedule."
Skinner will give insight to his long friendship with the "King of Vibes" at 1 p.m. Thursday in the Idaho Commons Clearwater Room.
