As you probably know by now, my friend Greta Christina was diagnosed with cancer last week, and she's having surgery today. In the grand scheme of things, it could have been much worse: she has health insurance, it was caught early, and there's an excellent chance that the operation will be a complete cure. Still, I admit I felt some purely selfish disappointment when I first heard the news. I'd been looking forward to seeing her at Skepticon next month, which won't be happening now. And … [Read more...]
Building Justice
Book Review: The Swerve
Summary: The compelling true story of the Renaissance humanists who rescued Greek and Roman philosophy from oblivion and wrenched the Western world out of the Dark Ages. After the collapse of the Roman empire, Europe descended into a centuries-long era of cultural and intellectual stagnation, a dark age of theocracy and feudalism. But how did the Western world pull itself out of this pit? What brought about the rekindling of light and reason in the Renaissance? That question is the subject of … [Read more...]
Weekend Coffee: August 12
There's a lot of news this week: • Two examples of humanism in action: Charles Feeney, a billionaire philanthropist, plans to give away all his remaining money within a few years, and a new nonprofit helps to crowdfund DNA sequencing for children with rare genetic diseases. • Since we still have a lot of work left to do on this problem, here are two very good articles on sexual harassment: An Incomplete Guide to Not Creeping by John Scalzi, and a post on what "creepiness" means from … [Read more...]
Happy Winter Solstice!
Happy winter solstice, everyone! As you doubtless already know, today is the shortest and darkest day of the year (assuming you live in the northern hemisphere). Ancient people, who were keen observers of the skies even without high technology, knew this date and its significance very well. It's no surprise that so many holidays which fall around this time of year involve the ceremonial kindling of light, whether it's lights on a Christmas tree, Yule logs burning on the hearth, flames on a … [Read more...]
Do We Need More Humanist Chaplains?
I wanted to highlight this excellent post on JT's blog about the rewards of activism: Joe was sick in the hospital, and asked a friend of his to go down to Philadelphia to collect the award for him. Friend went to see him in hospital, said "Joe, what do you want me to tell these folks when I pick up the award?" He's looking at Joe lying there sick as a dog, and thinking about his life, all the struggles, all the hard times, you know, trying to fight for social justice, and racial justice, and … [Read more...]
Governing by the Happiness Index
I've often written about the moral system I advocate, which I've dubbed universal utilitarianism. Although people have a broad range of individual preferences, human nature is, in general, fixed and predictable: certain things reliably bring us happiness, while others reliably cause pain and suffering. Through reason and evidence, we can work out which actions are more likely to have these good or bad consequences, allowing us to choose a course of action that's superior to others in an … [Read more...]
The Contributions of Freethinkers: Wole Soyinka
I wasn't familiar with Wole Soyinka, the first African author ever to win the Nobel Prize for Literature, until I got a Google alert for his name the other day. You can probably guess why - it turns out he's an atheist, as I learned from this article in the Nigerian Tribune grousing about it:Although I might not be able to quote him verbatim, Professor Soyinka had replied thus. "The reason why I don't believe in God is simple. I simply cannot imagine that somebody (emphasis mine) will be … [Read more...]

Retro: An Amos Walker Novel
Tom Doherty Associates, May 14, 2004 - Fiction - 286 pages
Loren Estleman is the quintessential noir detective writer, and Amos Walker is his quintessential noir detective. Walker has made a lot of friends--and a few enemies--in his years as a detective in Detroit, but he has never had to deal with quite the trouble he finds when he agrees to grant the death-bed wish of Beryl Garnet. Beryl was a madam, but she had a son a long while ago, and asks Walker to make sure that her son gets her ashes when she's gone.
He finds her son, who has been in Canada since the 1960s, evading the law since he was a Vietnam War protester. A simple favor, melancholy, but benign. Except that before he can get settled back in Detroit Garnet's son is dead, with him as the prime suspect.
He has little choice but to find out who might have done the deed and tried to pin the blame on him. . . and in the process he discovers another murder, of a boxer from the 1940s, Curtis Smallwood, who happens to have been the man's father. If that wasn't bad enough, his task is made much more complicated by the fact that the two murders, fifty-three years apart, were committed with the very same gun. And in a place where it was impossible for a gun to be.

About this item
About this item
Henry Graham (Walter Matthau) is a man with a problem: he has run through his entire inheritance and is completely unequipped to provide for himself. His childhood guardian, Uncle Harry (a deliciously mean-spirited James Coco), refuses to give him a dime, so Henry devises a plan with the help of his imaginative butler (George Rose) to make his money the old-fashioned way - he can marry it. But he cannot see himself as a happily married man, so he comes up with an even more devious solution... with a temporary loan from his uncle, Henry has six weeks to find a bride and repay the loan; otherwise he must forfeit all his property to his uncle. Henry finally meets his dearly beloved, a clumsy, painfully shy heiress Henrietta Lowell (played by the film's writer/director Elaine May). The answer to his prayers - if only he can overcome the obstacles placed in his path by his uncle and Henrietta's Lawyer (Jack Weston).

Start Menu Modifier
editor's review
Start Menu Modifier is a lightweight tool that allows you to change the way the Start Screen looks in Windows 8.
The application enables you to make the Start Screen appear as a smaller window which doesn't take up your entire screen. When you activate Start Menu Modifier, all the icons are displayed in one or more rows which you can scroll through to find the one you need.
Start Menu Modifier is easy to use and configure. When it runs, it resides in the system tray area which makes it also a cinch to access in case you need to change something. As far as changes go, there's not all that much you can do.
You are able to choose the position of the menu, to either the top or bottom of the screen and even set a custom height for it. That's a good option to have since there's no point in a large menu window with only ten icons in it.
However, if you make the screen too short, you only get to see the username in the upper right corner or half of the icons because the application keeps the upper part of the Start Screen as a reference. So, going for a smaller height value than the default one won't do you any good. On the other hand, making the menu window higher allows you to view the icons sorted into multiple rows which does look good.
Apart from the top and bottom positions, Start Menu Modifier gives you the possibility to fill the screen as usual but leaves the Taskbar visible. Moreover, you get multiple ways in which you can toggle the start window using different combinations of keys.
In closing, if you're a bit bored with the default Windows 8 Start Screen, then Start Menu Modifier is an app that can certainly change that.

For instance, in the book, schama writes that he always begins each new writing project with a fountain pen, not a computer.
"It serves me right that that would be seen as a massive piece of hyperbole," schama said in a phone conversation this week.
schama has written for The New Yorker since 1994, winning the National Magazine Award in 1996.
And so, in 1980, schama took a job in the United States, at Harvard.
schama has always been brilliant at finding the unexpected detail and using it to open up a Big Theme.

After shaky 1st, Zimmermann turns in top-notch start
May 21, 2015, 10:00 AM EDT
Two batters into Wednesday night's game, Jordan Zimmermann and the Nationals were down a run, a pair of Yankees having already connected for base hits. Four batters in, and the score was 2-0, as the crowd of 37,648 — at least, the portion of it that wasn't still making its way into the park —…
Nats 3, Yankees 2: Harper ejected again, Nats rally again
May 20, 2015, 9:48 PM EDT
GAME IN A NUTSHELL: The Nationals don't seem to know how to play a boring ballgame right now, and Wednesday night's wild affair with the Yankees was only the latest example of that, with the third-inning ejections of Bryce Harper and Matt Williams stealing the spotlight from what already was going to be a compelling…
Game 41: Yankees at Nats
May 20, 2015, 3:29 PM EDT
So, what do the Nationals do for an encore tonight? Does Bryce Harper have another home run in him? Does Ryan Zimmerman have another walk-off homer against the Yankees in his bag of tricks? Or is something else completely unexpected bound to happen? Matt Williams' lineup is mostly the same from last night's dramatic, extra-inning…
Where would Nats be without Scherzer?
May 17, 2015, 9:30 AM EDT
When the Nationals first signed Max Scherzer to a record free-agent deal in January, many of us – including yours truly – scratched their heads. The Nats already had by most accounts the deepest rotation in baseball and by some numbers, such as starters ERA, the best. Where would Tanner Roark go? Was the move…
Game 37: Nats at Padres
May 15, 2015, 7:05 PM EDT
With the just-announced news of Doug Fister going on the DL with right forearm tightness, the Nationals need quality starts now more than ever. Jordan Zimmermann can help get them back on track tonight when he takes the mound at Petco Park for the second game of this four-game series. Zimmermann has battled some of…
Nats 5, Braves 4: More late heroics after a lost lead
May 10, 2015, 4:28 PM EDT
GAME IN A NUTSHELL: The Nationals secured their first sweep of the 2015 season on Sunday thanks to some more late game heroics to bail out their bullpen. This time it was Matt Grace who gave up a would-be go-ahead run. And this time it was Wilson Ramos who provided the decisive hit in the 5-4 victory.…
Nats 6, Marlins 4: Desmond, Escobar key late rally
May 4, 2015, 9:47 PM EDT
GAME IN A NUTSHELL: On the heels of an eventful, 10-game road trip that ended on a high note, the Nationals were right back at the park Monday night to open a 6-game homestand, with another surging division rival in town. What transpired was another taut, low-scoring affair that was decided late. As has been…
Game 27: Marlins at Nats
May 4, 2015, 3:27 PM EDT
Ah, it's good to be back home again. It's been awhile since the Nationals last took the field here on South Capitol Street, when they lost 2 of 3 to the Cardinals. That set in motion the 6-game losing streak, which set in motion the historic comeback in Atlanta, which set in motion a strong…
Confident once again, Nats' lineup is on fire
Apr 29, 2015, 11:59 PM EDT
ATLANTA — On Tuesday evening, the Nationals fielded a starting lineup that included only one hitter with a batting average better than .250 and five with a batting average worse than .205. This was a source of concern for some who were worried such a putrid April at the plate could be a sign of…
Nats 13, Braves 4: Bats stay red-hot, set franchise record
Apr 29, 2015, 9:57 PM EDT
GAME IN A NUTSHELL: It's far too soon to know whether Tuesday night's stunning comeback will be the turning point in the Nationals' season. But it's probably safe to say this: It certainly woke this team's bats up. After pounding the shell-shocked Braves for 13 runs during that record-setting rally, the Nationals came right back…
Game 22: Nats at Braves
Apr 29, 2015, 3:48 PM EDT
ATLANTA — And so we're back at Turner Field for the finale of this series, wondering whether the Nationals will use last night's dramatic victory as a catapult to bigger and better things, or whether it was a mere blip in an otherwise frustrating month of baseball. Not wanting to mess around with perfection, Matt…
Lack of late-inning execution holding 7-10 Nats back
Apr 24, 2015, 11:36 PM EDT
MIAMI — Baseball has a reputation for being among the most complex major sports in the world, but sometimes it's actually a rather simple game. Take the Nationals, who after a 3-2 loss to the Marlins on Friday night are now a disappointing 7-10 on the season, the vast majority of those losses coming in…
Marlins 3, Nats 2: Familiar storyline leads to loss in Miami
Apr 24, 2015, 9:45 PM EDT
GAME IN A NUTSHELL: It's only April 24, but the Nationals recognize this 3-city, 10-game road trip through the NL East presents a real opportunity to make up some ground in the division. So they took the field at Marlins Park tonight with a sharp effort, getting dominant and efficient work from Jordan Zimmermann, some…
Game 17: Nats at Marlins
Apr 24, 2015, 3:37 PM EDT
MIAMI — Hello from the one and only (which is probably a good thing) Marlins Park, where tonight the Nationals open a 10-game road trip with the first of three against the Marlins in this amusement park of a baseball stadium. Miami, which entering the season appeared to be the Nats' biggest challenger in the…
Zimmermann still trying to find groove
Apr 19, 2015, 6:00 AM EDT
Jordan Zimmermann pitched well enough to win Saturday afternoon. But that's never been good enough for Zimmermann, nor for those who have come to expect more out of the Nationals right-hander. So Zimmermann was fairly hard on himself following the 5-3 loss to the Phillies, one in which he gave up four runs (two earned)…
Phillies 5, Nats 3: Desmond's woes open door for Phillies
Apr 18, 2015, 4:02 PM EDT
GAME IN A NUTSHELL: Ian Desmond's defensive struggles have been painful enough to watch on their own, but the fact several have directly impacted the results of Nationals games has only made this saga all the more painful to experience. That saga hit a low point Saturday afternoon, when a pair of Desmond miscues at…
Game 12: Phillies at Nats
Apr 18, 2015, 12:07 PM EDT
It's a beautiful Saturday afternoon in the District, a perfect day for some matinee baseball as the Nationals try to extend their winning streak to four game and get back to the .500 mark overall, facing a Phillies club that has lost six in a row. Yunel Escobar is not in the lineup after straining…
Red Sox 9, Nats 4: D.C. debacle in Fenway opener
Apr 13, 2015, 6:14 PM EDT
GAME IN A NUTSHELL: In a nutshell? It stunk. There's no other way to describe it from the Nationals' perspective. They put on a clinic in bad baseball for the first three innings, with errors committed, multiple fly balls falling in between outfielders, bases left uncovered, consecutive opposing batters plunked and assorted other maladies. Given…
Game 7: Nats at Red Sox
Apr 13, 2015, 11:35 AM EDT
BOSTON — And hello from the one and only Fenway Park, which today hosts its 104th home opener, with a first-time opponent for this major event: the Washington Nationals. It's a bit of an odd quirk, now with interleague play spread throughout the season, though it's still pretty cool for the Nats (and those who…
Nats 2, Mets 1: Zimmerman homers, bullpen hangs on
Apr 8, 2015, 10:22 PM EDT
GAME IN A NUTSHELL: If the season's first two games are a sign of things to come, the Nationals are going to be playing a bunch of low-scoring, tight affairs this month. Which means they're going to need timely hits, mistake-free defense and a lock-down bullpen. They got all three on Wednesday night, and because…
Game 2: Mets at Nats
Apr 8, 2015, 3:31 PM EDT
We're 48 hours removed from Opening Day, but the weather suggests it feels like even more time has passed than that. After mid-70s and sunshine on Monday, it's low-50s and rain tonight for the second game of the series between the Nationals and Mets. Hard to say if the rain will be significant enough to…
Stewart, Martin sent down; only 27 healthy players in camp
Apr 1, 2015, 4:50 PM EDT
JUPITER, Fla. — The Nationals brought more clarity to the final makeup of their Opening Day bench and bullpen Wednesday when they re-assigned infielder Ian Stewart and right-hander Rafael Martin to minor-league camp. Those moves, along with Wednesday morning's cuts of Kevin Frandsen and Tony Gwynn Jr. leave the Nationals with only 27 remaining healthy…
Nats vs. Marlins — 4/1/15
Apr 1, 2015, 12:51 PM EDT
JUPITER, Fla. — Hello yet again from Roger Dean Stadium (thankfully for the final time this spring) where the Nationals face the Marlins this afternoon in their penultimate Grapefruit League (they're off tomorrow, then face the Yankees in Tampa on Friday in advance of Saturday's exhibition against the Bronx Bombers in D.C.). Check out Matt…
Nationals announce season-opening rotation order
Mar 28, 2015, 1:50 PM EDT
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. — Less than a week after announcing Max Scherzer as their Opening Day starter, the Nationals announced the order for the rest of their rotation to open the season. Jordan Zimmermann and Stephen Strasburg will follow Scherzer and face the Mets in the season-opening series April 6-9. Gio Gonzalez and Doug…
Zimmermann: "It's not looking good" for deal before opener
Mar 27, 2015, 5:26 PM EDT
VIERA, Fla. — When Jordan Zimmermann reported for spring training nearly six weeks ago and said he wouldn't hold any contract negotiations during the regular season, the right-hander essentially created a deadline for any talks with the Nationals to take place. And as that deadline fast approaches, there doesn't appear to be any reason to…

Hi SEDAG members,
I am your webpage administrator. I know that SETAC conferences provide an overwhelming amount of information and often, once back at home, questions arise and there is a desire for further discussion with colleagues about what was learned. I thought that the SEDAG forum pages could be put to good use to continue conversations started at SETAC in Nashville (2013).
As an additional benefit, those of us who couldn't go to the conference can be a part of the knowledge transfer as well.
I am new to this experience of using blogs and forums so please excuse any hiccups. I am open to feedback others provide as well.

Pentastatin-1, a collagen IV derived 20-mer peptide, suppresses tumor growth in a small cell lung cancer xenograft model

BMC Cancer 2010, 10:29 doi:10.1186/1471-2407-10-29Published: 1 February 2010
Angiogenesis is the formation of neovasculature from a pre-existing vascular network. Progression of solid tumors including lung cancer is angiogenesis-dependent. We previously introduced a bioinformatics-based methodology to identify endogenous anti-angiogenic peptide sequences, and validated these predictions in vitro in human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) proliferation and migration assays.
One family of peptides with high activity is derived from the α-fibrils of type IV collagen. Based on the results from the in vitro screening, we have evaluated the ability of a 20 amino acid peptide derived from the α5 fibril of type IV collagen, pentastatin-1, to suppress vessel growth in an angioreactor-based directed in vivo angiogenesis assay (DIVAA). In addition, pentastatin-1 suppressed tumor growth with intraperitoneal peptide administration in a small cell lung cancer (SCLC) xenograft model in nude mice using the NCI-H82 human cancer cell line.
Pentastatin-1 decreased the invasion of vessels into angioreactors in vivo in a dose dependent manner. The peptide also decreased the rate of tumor growth and microvascular density in vivo in a small cell lung cancer xenograft model.
The peptide treatment significantly decreased the invasion of microvessels in angioreactors and the rate of tumor growth in the xenograft model, indicating potential treatment for angiogenesis-dependent disease, and for translational development as a therapeutic agent for lung cancer.

Fuck you Microsoft.....
4 years ago
Why the title....let me tell you a story. It is a story of a company that is so fucking stupid that it defines all matters of human stupidity.
It all started when Microsoft started advertising a month of Gold for a dollar. I went ahead, checked my Credit card balance online first to make sure the money was there ( I use Visa Prepaid cards only ) and went ahead and ordered the single month. It was "approved" and went through since my membership was due to expire and I had no cash for a year card. This was a couple months ago.
During that time I went and bought a 12 month Membership card and activated that as well. Was set for a year and I was happy about it.
A couple days later I noticed that I was a "Free" account. I called up Microsoft and demanded to know what happened. They notified me that my yearly account was canceled. I demanded to know why and they said that it was because they did not get their measily $1.13CDN from my previous Visa Card ( Which expired a couple weeks after I MADE the purchase ) So I went and picked up a $25.00CDN Visa Card and told them to use that instead of the other one which I explained was expired. They refused and told me that I must use the older card...the OLDER card...the one that was dead and cut up and in the landfill by now. I told them that I only use Prepaid Credit cards and that they will HAVE to use the new card instead. They hung up on me.
I called them back and told them I wanted to speak with a supervisor. I got a nice ENGLISH talking man ( thank god ) and explained the situation with them. He told me that they never accepted prepaid cards and that unless I get another "REAL" Credit card that my account will be deleted permanently.
I hung up...I was so angry at being taken by this craphole of a company. So they deleted ALL of my games and EVERYTHING. I had no choice but to start ANOTHER account under a different Information Set.
So a giant FUCK YOU goes out to Microsoft.
A milestone has been achieved!!!!

I am sure that this has happened to everybody who plays Halo online. YOu are killing in Matchmaking and some DOUCHBAG....some arsehole....some moronic IDIOTIC Teammate decides to get in the way of a already flying rocket or decides to go near a enemy that you just stickied and get teamkilled accidently. Ok fine....they are an arsehole for doing that.......but what about the ones that do that and then IMMEDIATELY press the A button to boot you out of the game without a single thought?1?!!?!?!
This happened to me a couple days ago......
I was testing out the new maps and decided on a game of Team Slayer on that ice cave map....I forget what it is called. ANyways I get into the Wraith and start blasting away and killing LOADS of the red bastards that get in my way. I was doing GREAT!!!! I then see that one of my teammates has a banshee.....Now near the section of the map that you get the banshee in the first place a group of reds were firing at my precious Wraith. I see that the banshee dude is hovering just to the right and behind me....There was no one in the way.....so I fired....and that fucking idiot then does a boost and a barrel roll........RIGHT INTO THE PLASMA BALL. Not two seconds later I get kicked for Teamkilling.........
Okay....I can deal that he got me kicked for TK'ing him but I know that it was no fault of mine......but I had a gut instinct later on that night and logged back onto live. There was a message from the dude BRAGGING that he and 5 others left me negative feedback for being unsporting and teamkilling him. I looked at my rep....which dropped from 95% to 87%......Fucker.
I sent him a "nice" little response to him as well.
Seriously guys.....do not be a arsehole like this guy.....if you get Tk'ed actually THINK about the situation BEFORE you press that A button. Even if it gets you mad it is probably your fault and not his to begin with.
Use your heads.

Well....science says....oh shut up.....
4 years ago
In todays world it appears that people are getting more and more closed minded. These poor souls have lost the ability to think "outside the box" as some would say.
Had a discussion with a younger person today. This discussion was brought to me for some odd reason. I guess the young man knew that I do believe in life on other planets. He asked me if I believed in it and I told him this:
" Let me put it this way. There are thousands of galaxies out there with thousands of solar systems just like ours and millions of planets. There is most definitely life out there that we have not encountered as of yet."
Those exact words. The younger man then proceeds to lecture ME saying that Science has proven that that was not possible and it was not possible for us to get to those other planets and so on. I corrected him and said: YET....we cannot get there YET but we will in due time.
He then says that I know nothing and stands there. I told him this:
"If you truly believe that then we will get nowhere. You need to open your mind to new possibilities and the first step for you to do is to realize that Science is almost always wrong. Almost EVERY science theory has been proven wrong in one step or another.....when you realize that then and ONLY THEN will you be smart enough to bring us to the stars."
I hate how people are getting more and more like this every day. These closed minded idiots are going to be the doom of our world I swear. BE MORE OPEN MINDED is the lesson for today.
Honestly though.....I should have slapped that kid silly.

To all Kinect haters....fuck off.
4 years ago
Reason for my title? Yes there is....and here is my little rant that goes to ALL Kinect haters....you closed minded assholes.
Why did I call all Kinect haters that? Simple. At the time of me writing this journal Kinect is not even OUT yet.....yet people are calling it a failure. That kind of closed-mindedness just angers me to no end. Even worse are the morons that say that they hate it simply because it has no buttons to press. That may be true but the point of Kinect is that you do not have ANYTHING to hold onto or to throw through your TV.
So.....Try it out and if you do not like it then that is fine.....but judging something that is not even out yet is the surefire sign of a closed minded moron.

Heal Yourself with Qigongby Suzanne Freidman
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
We live in a fast-paced, busy world, and many of us are stressed out and anxious as a result. If you suffer from anxiety but have found little relief from modern western treatments, or if you are looking for complimentary treatment, the ancient practice of qigong—which can be understood as the cultivation of internal energy—may offer you relief. Qigong is rooted in Chinese philosophy and medicine, and it utilizes breathing, movement, and awareness exercises to promote healing and aid in meditation. In The Qigong Workbook for Anxiety, world-renowned and respected qigong master Kam Chuen Lam presents the first workbook for overcoming anxiety problems utilizing traditional Chinese energy-focusing exercises. By following these simple and accessible step-by-step exercises, readers will learn to transform feelings of anxiety into resilience and inner strength. The workbook also contains helpful illustrations to help you carry out these exercises.
In the book, Lam will help you think about anxiety, and yourself, in a different way—as a whole. Youll also learn to stop resisting moments of anxiety and other strong emotions, but rather to embrace them within the larger flow of your bodys energy field. By doing this, you will ultimately strengthen and cultivate the natural energy you possess. Author Kam Chuen Lam has been a traditional Chinese healer for over forty years, and is an internationally respected authority on the Chinese health systems of Chi Kung and Tai Chi.

Canvas Sea Bag, Natural is rated out of 5 by 8.Rated 4 out of 5 by Mike from Generally satisfied with item Bought 5 of these for moving my daughter off to college. Like many (if not most) females, she had a lot of clothes and other stuff that she insisted on taking with her. I figured that it made more sense to go with something like this that could be folded and stowed away than cardboard or plastic storage boxes. They worked out well enough for the task. The only problem was that I also bought the steel duffel bag locks (item #WX2-219104) and they were slightly too large for the grommet size in the bags.http://www.sportsmansguide.com/product/index/5-new-german-military-duffel-bag-locks?a=961690This resulted in some of the grommets coming out, but they were easy enough to replace with the cheap grommet kit from the local Harbor Freight store.I didn't particularly like the cotton tie strings, so these locks made a good replacement -- especially after I took a grinder to them and made it so that they could fit through the holes in the grommets. The cotton tie strings tend to fray, so if you don't like that, I would suggest you dip them in some of the plastic dip material that is used for tool handles. I've done that on one of them and it seems to work pretty well so far.I'm ex-Navy and can say that we never had sea bags like this when I was in and that was over 35 years ago. Maybe this is a reproduction of something that was from way before then?Date published: 2015-06-25Rated 5 out of 5 by JOE from Very heavy material.

5 ways to dump a creative slump
Creative slumps. We all get them. We get stuck on one idea, or feel void of new ideas. Often we just sit and wallow in our lack of creativity, but there are many ways to get out of a creative slump.
Here are 5 ways that work for me.
Contacts from SugarCRM CE by email address
SurgarCRM CE (Community Edition) is an open source client relation management software. Recently I had the… I am searching for the right word… is it pleasure, no; opportunity; no that isn't it either. I was looking for information on how to use SugarCRM CE's REST API to get contact information based on the contact's e-mail address. I think the word is "painful" experience. But, eventually I was successful so I thought I would share my experience.

Adventures in Swiss Design
Design is everywhere. It can be found in the mugs from which we drink our morning coffee. It's evident in the packages we choose at the grocery store. And for me, it influences many aspects of my life. The way I organize. The jewelry I make. My illustration style.
Why did I become a graphic designer?
So, I recently became a father. Which has inspired me to look closely at my life, and start asking a lot of questions. I'm finding that many of those questions have parallels that relate to work as a graphic designer – a job that requires both "careful planning" and "going with one's gut".
Do I need a design system?
And btw, what is a design system?
I'll begin to answer those questions with a question.
Does your business or service produce marketing or communication materials?
If the answer is "yes," then you need a design system.
A design system is a thoughtful grouping of elements that, when used together in a prescripted, guided way, visually and verbally represent your brand. They are the ingredients that make up the pie.
Vintage Typography and Design
Aaaah…vacations. We all need them to relax and reenergize. I also need them to get inspired, often through the combination of nature AND city. So what could be better than a road trip through state and national parks with city lodging along the way…? Add my little pup Addy and it's pure paradise.

"The Ambergris Element" ***
A water world being studied holds a secret that could radically change the lives of Kirk and Spock.
There are a number of things going on in this story, some of it familiar and some novel. The familiar is the idea of the
crew being caught between factions on an alien world. The novel part is having Kirk and Spock changed into something more closely resembling the inhabitants of that world---specifically: Kirk and Spock are medically altered into water breathers. The story basically plays with an idea already popularized with the likes of DC Comics'
and Marvel Comics'
The Submariner
as well as later in
The Man From Atlantis.
Indeed there's a good dose of the idea behind the ancient myth of Atlantis mixed into this, only here the sunken civilization is set on a far off alien world.
It's not a bad story idea, but it's hurt by two main things: the story feels rushed and truncated and there is too much visual shorthand at work. By "visual shorthand" I mean things like Kirk and Spock continuing the whole episode in their duty uniforms particularly after they've been so radical altered. Also seeing seeing Scotty descend underwater in uniform and protected solely by a life support belt was just a bit too WTF for my tastes. Add to that seeing McCoy and Chapel as well as Scotty in uniform while in the temporary sickbay tank needed for Kirk and Spock while they're in altered form.
In a broad sense this redresses familiar ideas and stories used in TOS episodes such as "For The World Is Hollow And I have Touched The Sky" and "Return Of The Archons" and others. TAS' story is sufficiently redressed to appear novel enough even with the reuse of familiar ideas, but again I feel it's lack of nuance in story and visuals that keep the episode just okay rather than allowing it to be rated as good.
Two things I really do like in this episode: the concept of the aquashuttle and the design of the Argoan sea serpent.
ADF adaptation:
The ADF version of this story once again, of course, feels more complete. There are added moments that just don't appear onscreen that flesh out the events more. ADF also adds little touches like snatches of Argoan language in relation to what they call their underwater city and what they call the Argoan sea serpent. Another little touch gets around the visual shorthand I mentioned in my review of the aired episode---that of Kirk and Spock's underwater attire. In the print version ADF has them wearing some form of wetsuit rather than their Starfleet uniforms---a small but welcome touch. Other than those little touches, though, the print version really doesn't add anything of real substance to the original.
One small difference, though, is ADF's description of the aqua shuttle. In print it's described as something of an ovoid shape wasn't doesn't strike me as anything like the version seen onscreen.
