Quantifying the influence of flow conditions on cell viability is essential for a successful control of cell growth and cell damage in major biotechnological applications, such as in recombinant protein and antibody production or vaccine manufacturing. In the last decade, new bioreactor types have been developed. In particular, bioreactors with wave-induced motion show interesting properties (e.g., disposable bags suitable for cGMP manufacturing, no requirement for cleaning and sterilization of cultivation vessels, and fast setup of new production lines) and are considered in this study. As an additional advantage, it is expected that cultivations in such bioreactors result in lower shear stress compared with conventional stirred tanks. As a consequence, cell damage would be reduced as cell viability is highly sensitive to hydrodynamic conditions. To check these assumptions, an experimental setup was developed to measure the most important flow parameters (liquid surface level, liquid velocity, and liquid and wall shear stress) in two cellbag sizes (2 and 20 L) of Wave Bioreactors®. The measurements confirm in particular low shear stress values in both cellbags, indicating favorable hydrodynamic conditions for cell cultivation. © 2011 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Biotechnol.

Everything done to a high standard
I wouldn't recommend them to anyone. Not even for a tyre check. The service was meant to be while I wait, change of drive belt. I waited for two hours, then I took my car and found on the journey back that the hazard lights for the alternator were flickering. This wasn't there before I gave them my car. I noticed that there was new bolts on the alternator and the engine cover!!! although as far as I know changing the drive belt does not involve doing anything with either!! I went back on the same day, and asked for a manager. I got two persons who treated me as if I was trying to trick them to fix something already broken. They insisted that the car was like this before, although I later found that none of them was involved in fixing my car. They tested the car and found that the alternator was not charging. I explained that I am a long distance commuting doctor, and I couldn't have reached them if the alternator was broken before they changed my drive belt. Their reply was that electric appliances can break anytime!!! Then gave me a quote for a new alternator 245 GBP. In my view, they have done a poor job, and their customer complaint handling had the attitude of accusing the customer until proven otherwise. I am currently considering taking this further with the Retail Motor Industry Federation, the Vehicle Builders and Repairers Association Ltd, or the low claims court
Excellent service, recommended

Much like Bayern Munich, a long-standing culture exists where the players - particularly those from the local area - are little princes and even kings, a culture that can be seen to develop beyond their careers on the pitch and into the fabric of the club.
Sporting directors, special advisors, members of the technical staff... ex-players form the structure of the club, its history.
As a result coaches, no matter how impressive their CVs and reputations, come and go, rarely lasting more than two or three seasons and often barely completing a full campaign.
When he took the presidency of Real in 2000, Florentino Perez said he wanted to build a team of "Zidanes and Pavones", a mish-mash of the world's greatest players on the world's biggest wages, complemented by local lads with the club in their veins, willing to graft and carry the water for their illustrious team-mates.
This was an over-simplification of a simple acquisition strategy designed to sell as much merchandise as possible, and to promote the club overseas in a (successful) attempt to claw back some of the market lost to Manchester United, particularly in Asia, Africa and the United States.
It soon became apparent that the Pavons of the world were largely irrelevant - they simply would not be good enough to mix it at such a level, particularly at a time when La Liga was intensely competitive on account of strong Valencia and Deportivo sides.
But what did transpire was the 'Galactico' culture, in which these global stars created such a peripheral buzz that any local players who were good enough to command first-team places became intoxicated by the heady stench of celebrity.
So, with the support of local media, Ultras and other Madrid-based fans, the likes of Raul and Guti - and latterly Iker Casillas - saw themselves in the same vein as Zinedine Zidane and Luis Figo, as all-powerful symbols of Real Madrid, untouchable.
But the likes of Zidane and Figo - and even David Beckham - were not overly interested in dressing room politics. They live on a different planet, surrounded by image consultants, marketing execs and special advisors, with little investment in exerting locker-room dominance from their ivory towers. They train, they play, they perform their media commercial duties, but they have bigger fish to fry than those salted morsels of Bacalao offered up by stands near the Bernabeu.
The importance this president placed on a local-led dressing room cabal ultimately did for the hugely-successful Vicente Del Bosque, disgracefully sacked in 2003 because Perez felt that the likes of Guti did not deem him a worthy motivator of such lofty superstars. And so followed a barren spell that ultimately saw Real fail to progress past the last 16 of the Champions League for six years in a row, a record worse than Arsenal's.
Perez realised he had blown it from a supremely strong position, and resigned the post in 2006. But three years later he returned, apparently having learned from his mistake - one year later he hired Jose Mourinho, whose brief was to isolate and extract the likes of Raul and Guti, to mould a team of grafters and team players who all boasted the talent required to reel back Barcelona, but who would fight and die for a charismatic coach - and for one, sole Hollywood draw in Cristiano Ronaldo, who would be loyal to his compatriot.
And it was a job well done, initially. Mourinho put Raul and Guti in their places, restored a winning mentality to a squad who had coasted for too long, and brought back the Liga title in record-breaking fashion. European performances improved, although without full conquest, and it seemed the club were on track to usurp or at least match Barca.
But Perez was not counting on the unprecedented success of the Spanish national team, and the impact it would have on Casillas.
Despite having been a first-team player since his teenage years, Spain and Real skipper Casillas was always a grounded, humble kid. He used to travel by bus to the Bernabeu, chat to fans outside the training ground and appear in commercials for local businesses. Without the ego of Raul or the party-boy tendencies of Guti, he seemed the ideal symbol to promote and foster as the beating heart of the club.
Fast-forward some years and Casillas is the epitome of the modern celebrity footballer, with a TV presenter partner, regular appearances on 'sexiest athletes' lists and a line in shampoo commercials that would make David Ginola blush.
But was he worth it? Not according to Mourinho, who grew tired of Casillas's posturing and distracted performances and cut the Spain and Madrid captain from the team.
There is no suggestion that Casillas has ceased to be a decent fellow, but this is his job, his livelihood, and his club. Of course he would grow disgruntled, and the Spanish media - already prickled by an increasingly paranoid Mourinho's unusual (but ultimately unimportant) behaviour around press conferences - were only to happy to sow the seeds of discontent. Seeds that were scattered around Real's dressing room as Sergio Ramos, Pepe and a few others took Casillas's side, attempting to isolate Ronaldo, who they saw as Mourinho's favourite.
But Ronaldo was rightly granted prime billing - after all he is the second-best player in the world and an impeccable professional on all fronts. His sadness earlier in the season was greeted with derision, but it quickly reminded the team of their priorities, and of their duty to perform without the stuff and nonsense of internecine beef.
And herein lies the Real problem - Madrid were a better team after Casillas was ostracised, even with the bone-headed Pepe and Ramos taking their friend's side. But the Spanish press - for whom Casillas is a national hero - were none too pleased, with the notorious and unnaturally powerful Ultras also suspicious of a mouthy Portuguese who alienated one of their own.
Mourinho did not feel loved, neither by Spain's footballing hierarchy (admittedly through his own doing), nor by its press (bear in mind he is idolised in England and Portugal), and certainly not by the local fans who feel a divine right to demand titles in the style they want, with the players they favour.
ED has no doubt that he chose to go, that he jumped of his own volition, and that Perez was not lying when he said he "would have preferred it had Mourinho continued" at the Real. As with most flamboyant, outspoken showmen, Mourinho wants to be the centre of attention, the knight in shining armour, the hero, adored. Perez knows that, with Barca weakened and Casillas, Ramos and Pepe realising they are dispensable, Mourinho would have won the battle. But he would never have won the war for Spanish approval and no amount of money, he found out, can buy his heart.
Del Bosque has since proved himself to be the perfect foil for a strong dressing room - docile but shrewd, distant enough to let the boys have their cliques but with sufficient seniority to take tough decisions when needed. As such, Carlo Ancelotti is the right choice to succeed Mourinho at Real, having shown his ability to manage a similarly tough dressing room at Chelsea.
It thus is ironic that much of Mourinho's best work came at Stamford Bridge, where player power has seen off every permanent manager since he flounced out following a fall-out with Roman Abramovich. But, crucially, those big personalities in the Chelsea dressing room adored and still adore Mourinho, as it was he who brought them the first taste of success that had eluded them - and the club - for a lifetime.
You have to think that was the exception and not the rule, and wonder if Mourinho really thinks he can improve on the memories remaining in West London. The smart move would be Paris Saint-Germain, where limitless funding, a solid dressing room and a hunger for success could see Mourinho - who incidentally speaks decent French - bring the European Cup back to France. Even Manchester City - whose mildly depressed but hugely gifted squad is desperate for the boost Mourinho would bring - could signify a surer win for Jose.
But Mourinho is an emotional fellow, and one with a strong attachment to Chelsea, London and Britain in general. It may not work out, but you have to feel these natural bedfellows could grow old together, for better or for worse.
Reda Maher - on Twitter @Reda_Eurosport
"We apologised to Crystal Palace as soon as the vandalism in their dressing room was discovered, and again more formally a few days after the match. As a result of what happened, please rest assured we have reviewed our internal procedures to guard against this ever happening again" - ED will always find this bizarre and hilarious, and wonders what kind of "internal procedures" could be formalised to prevent someone taking a dump in the oppo's dressing room. Mandatory nappies for all players and staff? Sniffer dogs to root out turd-smugglers? The mind boggles.
"I met with the coach and directors to tell everyone this situation had to be overturned. I also specified a different tactical set-up, as I have a lot of experience in this area. The results were seen straight away, modesty aside, starting from the comeback to draw 2-2 with Napoli. From the relegation zone we climbed to third place, earned by the skin of our teeth. I have already called for a complete revamp of the coaching staff and, if needed, a more efficient and complete reorganisation of the club structure" - it sounds like a parody of a Silvio Berlusconi statement and, at the time of writing, Milan insist it is not a genuine letter from the club president, as was claimed on an Italian TV show. Given this is a man who once told his own police force that a go-go girl they'd nicked was a relative of Hosni Mubarak and should thus be granted diplomatic immunity, ED would put nothing past him.

OK, so let me get this straight: The ink on my 2013 school tax bill isn't even dry, and I see an article about Northeastern School District considering another tax increase. We already have the highest millage rate in the county by a very large margin, other than York City, where properties are assessed much lower. The school board says that they won't ask for a special exemption to raise the millage more than the amount set by the state. It seems to me that the school board said that last year in a majority vote and then three weeks later asked for and received the "special exemption" anyway. The board said "that was before they saw the big picture."
Well, here is the "big picture" as I see it. I can't sell my house because anyone who does his or her homework wouldn't buy in Northeastern School District, and I will never be able to afford to retire when I'm eligible in four years because there won't be anything left in Social Security due to the incompetents we have in Washington. I will have to keep working to pay my bills due to all of my Social Security going to pay my school taxes.
How about if you eliminate five or six of the assistant to the assistant positions that you have created. That should take care of your million-dollar deficit. I say "no more increases until someone can better manage our tax dollars.

Something Fishy About RightHaven Suits?
By Shannara Johnson
Cracking down on the blogosphere seems to have become the latest fashion. Since March, lawsuits were filed against at least 88 blogs, message boards, advocacy organizations, and other websites, according to various news reports.
And they're all coming from the same source: Las Vegas-based RightHaven, a firm that deals with copyright infringement.
Reason.com reports that "RightHaven's business model involves acquiring the copyrights for specific articles originally published by the Las Vegas Review-Journal, then filing lawsuits against website owners who have posted those articles without permission."
The owners of one of the affected sites called The Armed Citizen, Clayton Cramer and David Burnett, complained to Reason magazine that they never even got a chance to remove the articles in question. "With our e-mail addresses right there on the front page [of our site], all it would have taken is an e-mail asking us to remove or alter the listing so as not to infringe," said Burnett. "By not contacting any of the websites with a takedown notice beforehand, they're showing they're interested in money, not resolution."
Which Steve Gibson, CEO of RightHaven, readily admits to. "Media companies' assets are very much their copyrights," he told Reason. "These companies need to understand and appreciate that those assets have value more than merely the present advertising revenues."
With many of the targeted sites being blogs, conspiracy message boards, and government-critical websites, however, some of the victims suspect much more sinister motives behind RightHaven's attacks. The legal trouble, they believe, may be part of a larger operation initiated by the Obama administration to silence independent, critical voices on the Internet.
And browsing the evidence, this contention may be not be all that far-fetched.
Recently, Blogetery.com, a little-known Wordpress platform, was abruptly shut down by its hosting company, BurstNet, taking down about 73,000 blogs. According to CNET, "[the] service was terminated at the request of some law enforcement agency, but [BurstNet] wouldn't say which one. As for the reason, BurstNet hasn't made that clear either."
Rumors have it that the government may have gotten involved as part of anti-piracy operations, but many liberty advocates don't buy it. And who can blame them, with frustrated sound bites coming from
President Obama himself
, implying that unsympathetic bloggers may have a part in his inability to connect with the public.
In January, an obscure academic article from 2008 made the rounds in the blogosphere that had been written by Obama's information czar, Prof. Cass Sunstein.
Here's an excerpt:
...we suggest a distinctive tactic for breaking up the hard core of extremists who supply conspiracy theories: cognitive infiltration of extremist groups, whereby government agents or their allies ... will undermine the crippled epistemology of those who subscribe to such theories. They do so by planting doubts about the theories and stylized facts that circulate within such groups, thereby introducing beneficial cognitive diversity.
Why should you be worried about this?
Glenn Greenwald from Salon.com
explains it:
Sunstein advocates that the Government's stealth infiltration should be accomplished by sending covert agents into "chat rooms, online social networks, or even real-space groups." He also proposes that the Government make secret payments to so-called "independent" credible voices to bolster the Government's messaging (on the ground that those who don't believe government sources will be more inclined to listen to those who
independent while secretly acting on behalf of the Government). This program would target those advocating false "conspiracy theories," which they define to mean: "an attempt to explain an event or practice by reference to the machinations of powerful people, who have also managed to conceal their role."
Sunstein's response to these criticisms is . . . as telling as the proposal itself. He acknowledges that some "conspiracy theories" previously dismissed as insane and fringe have turned out to be entirely true (his examples: the CIA really did secretly administer LSD in "mind control" experiments; the DOD really did plot the commission of terrorist acts inside the U.S. with the intent to blame Castro; the Nixon White House really did bug the DNC headquarters). Given that history, how could it possibly be justified for the U.S. Government to institute covert programs designed to undermine anti-government "conspiracy theories," discredit government critics, and increase faith and trust in government pronouncements? Because, says Sunstein, such powers are warranted only when wielded by truly well-intentioned government officials who want to spread The Truth and Do Good -- i.e., when used by people like Cass Sunstein and Barack Obama:
Throughout, we assume a
well-motivated government
that aims to eliminate conspiracy theories, or draw their poison,
if and only if social welfare is improved by doing so.
But it's precisely because the Government is so often not "well-motivated" that such powers are so dangerous. Advocating them on the ground that "we will use them well" is every authoritarian's claim. More than anything else, this is the toxic mentality that consumes our political culture: when our side does X, X is Good, because we're Good and are working for Good outcomes. That was what led hordes of Bush followers to endorse the same large-government surveillance programs they long claimed to oppose, and what leads so many Obama supporters now to justify actions that they spent the last eight years opposing.
FOX's John Stossel hit the nail on the head, quipping, "That's right. Obama's Regulation Czar is so concerned about citizens thinking the wrong way that he proposed sending government agents to 'infiltrate' these groups and manipulate them. This reads like an Onion article: Powerful government official proposes to combat paranoid conspiracy groups that believe the government is out to get them...by proving that they really are out to get them."
And the RightHaven case has only fueled the fears – especially since evidence points to potentially close ties between the Obamas and Gibson.
Recently targeted by RightHaven, outraged members of the conspiracy message board godlikeproductions.com (GLP) set out to get to the bottom of the matter, digging in RightHaven CEO Steven A. Gibson's background.
According to
a resume found on the Net
, Gibson attended the Chicago-Kent Collage of Law and graduated cum laude in 1990, and, his work history states, "Prior to establishing his own firm, Mr. Gibson was an associate at Sidley Austin LLP," a Chicago-based law firm.
President Obama's
Wikipedia page
, in turn, states that "In late 1988, Obama entered Harvard Law School. . . During his summers, he returned to Chicago, where he worked as a summer associate at the law firms of Sidley Austin in 1989 and Hopkins & Sutter in 1990."
Coincidence? GLPers don't think so, especially considering that Michelle Obama, too, is in the picture. "She met Barack Obama when they were among the few African Americans at their law firm, Sidley Austin . . . and she was assigned to mentor him as a summer associate." (
"At the firm," the Wikipedia page goes on, "she worked on marketing and intellectual property," the latter being Gibson's specialty as well.
In other words, it would be reasonable to assume that Barack and Michelle Obama and Steven Gibson have known each other for 20 years and (of course this is conjecture) may even have been, or still be, friends. Making Gibson the perfect henchman, the conspiracists surmise, to carry out Obama's death sentence on free Internet speech and open dissent.
Tall tales or the beginning of the end for a truly free Internet? We'll see; but we will keep our eyes open to other warning signs.

What does Trial offer?
WaveMakerOnline (WMO) hosts a Zero-DevOps trial version of WaveMaker Enterprise(WME) software, a Rapid Application Development (RAD) for responsive web and (beta) mobile optimized (Hybrid) App development. WMO provides a secure, private trial for your project. You can invite co-workers, designers (external agency, if used) as well as client (in case you are building the App on contract). WMO provides integrated experience that includes themes, templates (speed up commonly developed elements of your App), team collaboration, resource sharing (integration with source code control systems, such as your Github account), and single-click deploy (to your cloud account, such as Amazon AWS). Trial users are also offered, packaging mobile optimized Apps for use on devices (IOS or Android platforms) using Apache Cordova (PhoneGap service is built on this software). You can not only build apps that are invoked through tap on installed App on your device (phone or tablet), but also use popular device capabilities (such as camera, GPS, etc.).
What can I do when the trial period ends?
The trial period is for 30 days. During the trial period, one can invite as many others as appropriate to register at WMO and participate in your project.
After the trial period, you cannot continue developing and need to transition to a paid account. You will have 30 additional days to buy and reactivate your suspended account, after which you should not expect to login to WMO.
How can I pay for my WMO account?
Online payment for different plans (through credit card or Paypal account) is available. Either you could buy from inside WaveMaker Studio or outside through wavemaker.com website. In case your client or purchasing department is paying for your development, they could do so at the website and forward the payment confirmation mail (create app link) to you for use.
One can buy for multiple projects (one App each), if they desire.
The yearly subscription costs much cheaper than multiple monthly subscriptions, not only as a volume discount, but also the expected nature of software projects, that typically consist of a few months of intensive use (development phase) followed by much long, low activity work (maintenance phase).
What about hosting my App?
WaveMaker Online (WMO) gives you complete freedom to choose your hosting service, unlike other Platform as a Service (PaaS providers or clouds). We don't mark up on your cloud or hosting charges with a pass-through, as you would directly open account with your hosting provider and pay bills directly, thereby utilizing offers and discounts offered by them due to constantly falling prices.
While that said, we make it convenient to deploy your application to hosting provider of your choice in two ways:
- Provide single-click deploy to popular cloud services (such as your account on Amazon AWS) and our Hosting partners (Please ask us, if you would like to see your cloud/hosting provider supported).
- Provide you a easy way to download a ready-to-deploy, packaged App (WAR file) that you can take out and host it anywhere you choose to.
Can I transition to a private installation (on-prem) of WaveMaker Enterprise?
Yes, we provide complete App portability between different editions of its RAD platform. So, an built using WMO (trial or paid) could be subsequently moved to WME on-prem installation. This enable easy trial (no installation hassle) online before making the purchase of WME.
7 Reasons why WaveMaker Online is awesome

Less Skills Needed
Good looking UI out-of-the-box works wonders even if you are not graphically savvy. Meet the high expectations of modern day Apps.
Go Live Quickly
Don't miss business opportunities during a long software development period. Learn from the field by getting App ready quickly. Release rapidly, try fast and learn quickly.

WaveMaker Enterprise (WME)
The software platform designed for Enterprise App Development
When your Apps depend on data behind the firewall and need to meet increasing user expectations as well as fast changing business needs, you need an in-house (on-prem) software platform like WaveMaker Enterprise. Team development, security standards, API readiness and continuous integration are a must for acceptability of such a platform.

5 Good Elements that make your Enterprise Apps Ready and Compliant
Rapid Delivery
Widely felt shortage of front-end developers and far too many skills that make up modern day UI hinder quicker app delivery. Designers are not coders and vice versa. This makes RAD for front-end a great option.
App Stack Choice
Vendor neutrality is most desirable, but putting together the popular elements of a modern application stack with varied licensing terms is complex. Enterprises need Apps to run on certified stack that does not have viral open source characteristics. Proliferation of App stack means lock-in of precious IT resources for the entire lifetime of the App.
Apps built with enterprise-grade security against several vulnerabilities and attacks (OWASP). Team development and centralized source code repository are essential for enterprises as no App development happens by one single person.
Mobile Support
Native Apps built for specific mobile device is an expensive choice both in terms of staffing and skill retention (pressure created by high churn of technologies). Particularly, hard for enterprises that use a BYOD policy. Hybrid Apps developed using web standards (HTML5, CSS and JS) might be the best answer, but an in-house platform that packages such apps for native build is needed.
API Enablement
Architecture and scalability are important considerations for any application in the enterprise. The recent years have seen a preference for loose coupling (Service Oriented Architecture or SOA) of software artifacts, with REST APIs becoming popular. Design for scale of one (much easier) and letting the platform handle scaling is another important trend.
What services do you provide?
We provide full spectrum of services for customer organizations of all sizes and governmental institutions. We understand, the needs are varied and as a customer, you have the choice of products and services to select from, if we are not serving you right.
The primary service that most often meets the development needs of SMB is the Developer Cloud service, the hassle-free development of responsive web and mobile-optimized (hybrid) app development online. With email support and automatic updates included, the Developer Cloud RAD tools(WaveMakerOnline – often referred to as WMO) is fast and easy to adopt, with no DevOps or IT assistance necessary.
Large companies (typically, 500+ employees) who are looking for an internal platform instead of the public cloud option may choose WaveMaker Enterprise software option. We facilitate their process of evaluation (POC development) through Free, no-obligation, Enterprise support.
Apart from this, WaveMaker provides Technical Support, Training and Professional Services through its own world-wide team. Training, App development and Hosting services are also available from our partners.
How can I benefit from WaveMaker?
While it depends on what your expectations are, here are some general benefits of WaveMaker.
- Good looking UI, out of the box – Build new generation front-end Apps effortlessly. Software developers are seldom gifted with great UI capabilities and 'consumerization of IT' has left with high expectations of even smaller Apps.
- Handle front-end skills shortage – Good UI is a complex composition of numerous skills (HTML, CSS, JS, Graphics, device/browser variations, UX learning, UI trends, Ajax, JSON etc.) and it is difficult to staff each project with mastery in each. Setting up fully loaded teams takes time, effort and money.
- Enhance speed of Innovation through Rapid delivery – Pressures on new App readiness and change management is high. Business wants Apps ready in increasingly faster cycles, due to competitive pressures. Waterfall model, Big-fat RFP model are giving way to automation, quicker turn around and fail fast approaches.
- Eliminate time wastage through code generation – No one has time to waste, building code from scratch (start from…). Significant performance barrier of generated code is now absent, due to commodity hardware and cheaper Infrastructure (Cloud model), making RAD a reality.
- Spend wisely on software projects – Legacy is constantly getting created and only innovation can save companies. Investing in innovation enablers that harness the power of ideas from everyone in the company, has huge pay back.

Ptolemais Hermiou or Ptolemais in the Thebaid was a city in Greco-Roman Egypt, established on the west bank of the Nile at the site of the Egyptian village of Psoï in the Thinis nome by Ptolemy I Soter sometime after 312 BCE[1] to be the capital of Upper Egypt.[2] Today, the city of Al Manshah[3] in the Sohag Governorate is located where the ancient city used to be. According to Strabo, it was the largest city in the Thebaid, equal to Memphis in size. It also had its own constitution, an assembly with elected magistrates and judges alike a traditional Greek polis. Greek settlers to the city where brought over from the Peloponnese and northern Greece.[4] The city housed temples to Greek and Egyptian gods (Zeus, Dionysus, Isis) as well as a cult for the worship of the Ptolemaic Dynasty. There was also a theater and actor's guild present in the city.

Robert Downey Jr. admits he was very nervous ahead of the birth of his son Exton two months ago.
Robert Downey Jr. was nervous about becoming a father again.
The 'Marvel Avengers Assemble' actor - who already has son Indio, 18, with ex-wife Deborah Falconer - and wife Susan Levin welcomed son Exton Elias into the world two months ago and though the 47-year-old star was excited about having another child, he admits he had a lot of worries.
He said: ''There was all this trepidation, all this projection, all this anticipation and goodwill and a good vibe about it.
''But what you're squeezing to the side - or what's in the glove box - is these thousands of forms of fear. And then he was born and they've all just kind of scattered now. It seems like he's always been here.''
The 'Sherlock Holmes' star knows ''anticipation and fear'' are normal parts of parenting but thinks it is important not to project his concerns onto his Offspring.
He told the new issue of Esquire magazine: ''Am I going to know what to do with them? Does any new parent, even if you're not a first-time parent, ever really know what to do? Only thing you have to do, the only requirement, if you can hack it, is to not Transfer your own discomfort in the moment to this fresh soul, right? You got to be mindful.
''I don't want to be so confident in myself. It's that balance between being relaxed enough to not be communicating anxiety and present enough to not be creating the very thing that you were anxious about by being so relaxed - because I've seen that parenting style, too.''

Reasonable Car Rental from LaGuardia to Smithtown, NY
Does anyone know of any reasonable car rental places between LaGuardia and Smithtown, LI/Expressway exit 111 ? We are flying into LaGuardia on Friday,
July 3rd and return to LaGuardia Sunday, July 12th. Usually it's around500 for a week give or take but they want1,000 even w/ my entertainment coupon!

Go through Manhattan or not?
I am going to a family reunion in Greenlawn L.I. near Huntington Station, next weekend. I've never been to Long Island.
I'll be driving from Pennsylvania, and reaching the NYC area mid-day on a Saturday
Yahoo Maps advises me to go through the Holland Tunnel, go on to Brooklyn, and then on the L.I. Expressway.
Is this a good scenario? My first instinct was to stay South, away from Manhattan, cross at the Verazzano bridge, and much later find some way North.
It all looks like a harrowing drive. How much time should I allot from myself from, say, Newark (which takes me three hours to get to from PA)?
Thank you for your contribution.

Need help getting around NYC to get to Upton
Good Afternoon,
I'm driving from Philadelphia to Upton for an 11:00am meeting Monday morning and trying to decide if I can drive through or around New York City and get out to Upton by leaving early Monday morning or if I should play it safe and drive Sunday night.

Long Island (Suffolk - North) Motel Question
Hi. I was wondering if anyone knew of a cheap motel or hotel sround the Huntington,Woodbury,Commack area of Suffolk County. I don't mind a dive! I know NY is NY, but is there a little mom and pop motel anywhere around there that would be affordable? Thx.
JFK - Long Island by public transport
Advice needed - our Manhattan home exchange is going ahead (hooray), but our best price flight arrives at 1.30pm on August 30th - two days before we can move in. We like the idea of visiting and relaxing somewhere that's not Manhattan directly from JFK (on public transport). It can't be the Bridgehampton area, because there's a huge horsey event taking place on the dates we'd be there. Montauk, Amagansett and around sound lovely - but we don't want to spend loads on accommodation - it would cancel out the good value flights. We also don't want to lug luggage more than we have to either from the airplane or back to Manhattan on the Friday afternoon. Are there any reasonably priced lodgings, near the train stations (or bus stops), for two nights at the end of August? Should we go to Brooklyn instead?
Questions about driving around Long Island
I will be taking a car to Long Island. Do I need to make reservations on the Bridgeport/Port Jefferson ferry if I am going against traffic (TO Long Island 9:00 am - FROM Long Island 3:00 pm)
How long does it take to get from Port Jefferson to Montauk at 10:30 am on a weekday?
If I decide I don't want to drive all the way out to Montauk, are there equally charming towns along the way?
Thanks for your help!
HELP! Question about the best part of FIRE ISLAND for a daytrip from NYC?
Hi Everybody,
I am interested in coming in for a long daytrip from Manhattan to Fire Island. Could you give me advice on the following:
1) Which is the best part of FIRE ISLAND for a DAYTRIP if I enjoy a lot of SHADE? (Don't like to just to sit and bake in the sun! Trees are great!)
2) Is it true that it is hard to find public restrooms on Fire Island?
3) Where are the best NATURE WALKS?
Fire Island for a weekend?
Any advice on visiting Fire Island for just a weekend? Where to stay? Something cozy for two... I've got a single weekend to spare and I want to go to the ocean. I'd like it to be kind of romantic but not manufactured i.e. no resorts. Any suggestions?

From the same sourse as the previous pic (anatomy for fantasy artists). Please leave contsructive critisism.
My first sketch club drawing, and first live model. Please leave constructive Critisism. Thanks for viewing.
That first drawing is looking nice but the legs have very little definition to them. The second one looks very flat. You need more practice drawing and shading basic forms (cubes, cylinders, boxes)in perspective from diffrent angles. Once you have this down try breaking the figure down in these simple volumes and watch carefully how they fit one into the other. Remember that the figure is 3dimensional so each part need to clearly occupy it's own space. Also when drawing heads/faces, note that the eyes are in the center of the head. Keep up the hard work!
I agree with fantasyartist, you need to push your values more. It's good that you are trying anatomy studies, it's the way to go, just make sure you also parctice pure value. As of right now you have mainly one or two values in your work, three is usualy considered the acceptable minimum, but the more the better. However, the only way to get better is to keep on drawing and keep on posting 'em here. (ok, you don't need to post them here to get better, but...)
...I don't really know...
My latest piece. From the same book mentioned before. I really need help with hands, any tips would be appreciated. Thanks for looking. Hope to upload more soon. I will be studying hands so more than likely you will see some hands next.
Well, I can't really give you any tips on what books to look at, I never got around to finding any for myself. However, just remember the basic shapes that go into a hand. For instance, I generally think of the palm and back as a rectangle or square, and the fingers are just cylinders. Another smart option would be to study the bone structure, then use that knowledge to break it down into a simple line skeleton. Lastly, just keep drawing them, pick out places that you have trouble with and focus on them. Don't know if that helps, but I tried!
...I don't really know...
Just me messing with multiple tone values. People kept saying I should study this so I did. The hands will be coming soon.
Thanks for you time.
Great mate you obviously prepared to do some studies which is a good start i would suggest to learn about 1,2 and 3 point perspective and draw a bunch of boxes correctly and try and do like 5 mins at least before you go off and sketch anything else and keep doing that untill you are able to sketch a box in any rotation you want, i can telll from your drawings you need to learn and understand how create form on a 2d piece of paper and box is the best place to start.. keep it up!! also get your self an anatomy book and start learning the skeleton its really easy to tell an artist who doesn't understand the structure of what they are drawing and it makes everything so much easier once you know it.good luck
Hi, it's that time of the week, the time where I post todays sketch club drawing. I ran out of time on the clothing and i think the shading on the face could have been better. To be honest I dont think the hair went well either but it was an improvment on last weeks sketch. Any advice on technique or general improvments are always read and very much aprechated. thanks for the time.
very nice drawings, the only thing missing is more depth so i would recommend practicing a lot what Fantasyartist said.
there´s also this book (Basic Figure Drawing) from Vilppu wich is every good to understand the volumes and how to construct the human figure, get it and do every exercise you see there, it has helped me a lot, and i´m not even finished with the whole book.
keep up the good work.
Hey, I just stumbled upon your sketchbook. Comparing the first post to the last post.. I definitely see improvement. Don't concern yourself so much with the shading and making the hair look real at this point. Just looking at the two Sketch Group portraits you did, it seems like you paid alot more attention to what you were seeing as far as the relationships & space between different parts of the face. The way we think things should be vs. how they appear is so different and as you continue with your drawing this will become more and more evident. One big thing that stood out for me was the placement of the eyes, portrait #2 was 10000x better. Just focus on your proportions.. No one's going to care if you render hair and skin with photo-quality if things are in the wrong place. Keep working, it looks like you're making great progress!

Well heres an attempt at drawing myself. Ugly I know but still if you could hold your lunch down just long enough to leave some constructive critisism I would be greatful. Note this is also in the self portrait section. Thanks for the time
Had some spare time so I drew alot.The first 1 is of an alien (I was just mucking about not realy basing it on anything) second is of a statue I have
Yes I have finaly done what I said I would do last week. Finaly made a decent attempt at hand. Please tell me how to improve other than use your hand for reference as this is based on my hand. Thanks for the crit and I will post more soon.
Incase you have not guessed this is my second hand drawing. Please crit. Thanks for the time
hey I think it very good just add more tone
like ur messing with shading
otherwise nice stuff
First the bad news. Due to reasons out of my control I was not able to go to my sketch club yesturday and was not able to get much drawing done.
Good news, today I got off my sorry ass and did some drawing (although I did not feel like drawing). Anyway without further adue my latest mess about with shading.
Hey man cool stuff, but something I noticed on the 2nd hand drawing, is that the thumb looks alot like a Big Toe.
Ive stared at it for a little while now and cant exactly pin point why though, and its totally possible its just me that thinks so, but id look at the position of the nail. Its whats causing this I think.
Keep it alive man, cool stuff.
I feel like you'd have some real fun with something dark, messy and heavy (medium wise).
Some reall rough charcol... or something.

True progress means matching the world to the vision in our heads.
But we always change the vision instead.
Yesturday I was a little distracted so various parts were off. I still want the critique so feel free to slaughter. Thanks for your time.
First off sorry for the break (feeling ill combine with very busy). Secondly i really need crit for this one as I want to improve on this. If you would be so kind as to slaughter my work I would be very greatful. The picture is of a model in my sketch group. well hope to upload more stuff soon. Later.
Well I decided to colour the previous sketch in photoshop
Nice colour work on the last on. Good to see all the studies - keep at em the more U do the more U will improve. Try look for some loomis and bridgeman books for hands and anatomy. Your own hand is a great model - just do it from all angles and try differant poses. Try copy hands from the master painters too - there anatomy was usually spot on.
Then lastly pay attention to your light source - define it in the beginning and stick with it. Will help to give form and shape to your drawings.
Hope too see more stuff soon!
thanks for the reply, i love these pictures, especially the... 4th one, it looks like an orc and plus that face is really distinguishable. i like it but im still workin on my critisism skills lol.
Sorry for not posting for what seems like an etternity. Been ill and it has been a struggle to draw. Anyway I have a new art dump so with out further to do here we go. Second to last is yoda from starwars and the last piece is for DSG (the cyclops uniped). Thanks for your time and sorry for the poor quality of my sketches. I will be working on my technique. See you next dump.
Nice stuff. As you scroll down, it seems your drawings get better and better. While mine just SUCK. Oh well.
I really am a noob. I just started about yesterday!
well I finaly finished my assignments so i had some time to draw but guess what? I got challenged to use different media so and got set some rules (like time limits). most of the work was done in chalk and/or charcoal and the longest i spent on any piece was 2 hours (for the sketch and the white jugs) most of the time I just had 10 - 20 mins. before any one asks no I will not be finishing them these were just my pic of my best practices of the time i worked. As usual all crit is welcome but please keep in mind that on average I had a time limit of a few mins and most of the media I have never used this way. thanks for your time.
p.s. the 1 Charcoal pic has slight nudity
looks like you had fun with that charcoal, your studies are defiantly improving.
try to hold your hand in various positions when studying it, put some drama into your gestures and the end result will be more interesting to look at.
Diggin' the Ditch?
See that you've attempted various mediums, i wish i have the level of interest and motivation like you do. you should try drawing figures in basic forms for a change. firstly, it doesn't pressurise you into wanting to achieve a 'prefect' sketch and secondly, it trains you to draw fast and visualise better...but try to do that with references instead of pulling them out of your imagination...keep it up man!

Doesn't those custom kernels come in SIN format?
Well, but FTF is the package format used in Flashtool. While updating through PC companion or Sony Update Service, large files are downloaded in some other format which are decrypted and repackaged as FTF, isn't it? Basically, it's the SIN files which are inside the FTF archives, and those FTFs are glorified ZIP files unpackable by any standard ZIP utility, e.g. 7z.

Excerpt, Product Closeup
The Way of a Pilgrim is the timeless account of an anonymous wanderer who set out on a journey across nineteenth-century Russia with nothing but a backpack, some bread, and a Bible, with a burning desire to learn the true meaning of the words of St. Paul: "Pray without ceasing." In this completely accessible new abridgment, all the terms and references are explained for you--with intriguing insights into aspects of the text that are often not available to the general reader.
Gleb Pokrovsky is a graduate of St. Vladimir's Orthodox Theological Seminary in Crestwood, New York.
This new edition includes all of the readings present in the first edtion. Two new articles have been added to update the section on Orthodoxy's relationship with the West: Articles from Timothy Weber (the only non-Orthodox contribution) and Bradley Nassif address the growing interface between the evangelical and Orthodox traditions.
An important virtue of The Comforter is Bulgakov's treatment of the filioque question. In fact, his discussion of this question may be the most important modern contribution to filioque studies from the Orthodox perspective. Examining the writings of the chief theoreticians on both sides of the dispute, Bulgakov finds that each side is wrong in its own way. He concludes that the filioque question is not an insuperable obstacle to the reunification of the churches. Finally available in English through the work of Boris Jakim, today's foremost translator of Russian theology and philosophy into English, The Comforter is a major publishing event.

The Bulletin began life in 1971 as the CSSR Bulletin when it was published by the Council of Societies for the Study of Religion. In 2009 the Council disbanded and the journal moved to Equinox.
Historically the journal has published articles that address religion in general, the history of the field of religious studies, method and theory in the study of religion, and pedagogical practices. From 2010 (volume 39), the Bulletin is published in print and, for the first time, online, with a print frequency of 4 issues per volume.
The online edition includes supplemental content not appearing in the print version including interviews, book excerpts, blogs, and profiles of key thinkers in the study of religion. The new Bulletin also includes open access features and offers enhanced search and access functions across the full range of Equinox books and journals in religious studies, biblical studies, ethics and theology.

The Approach to the Social Sciences in Religion Past and Present
|The social sciences do threaten theology/religious studies even when they do not challenge either the reality of God or the reality of belief in the reality of God. The entries in RPP ignore this threat in the name of some wished-for harmony. The entries neither recognize nor refute the challenge of social science to theology/religious studies. They do, then, stand antithetically both to those whom I call "religionists" and to many theologians, for whom there is nothing but a challenge.

|This paper offers commentary on the relative merits of the RPP in the specific areas of theology, church history, and philosophy. The encyclopedia's treatment of these themes, while largely adequate, raises substantial meta-questions within the discipline about how notions of "canon" function with authority in a time of unprecedented disciplinary fragmentation, particularly within theology itself.

It discusses the shift away from the study of the origins of martyrdom to an interest in martyrdom and the body, Christian identity formation, and martyrdom and orthodoxy. It further discusses the need for a reappraisal of the evidence for early Christian martyrdom and the renewed attention that questions of dating, authorship, and provenance have received.

Our conversation ranged from the history of the Council of Societies for the Study of Religion to how articles appearing in its journal, the CSSR Bulletin, over some 40-odd years have been at the leading edge of advancing debates in the study of religion, from problems in theory and method and the definition of religion, to issues of identity politics and the study of Islam.

Romania's Saving Angels: "New Men", Orthodoxy and Blood Mysticism in the Legionary Movement
|In Romania, a Christian, ultranationalistic movement known as The Legionary Movement has before and after the Communist period called for a national, spritual revolution. Perceiving themselves as front fighters protected by the Archangel, Legionaries endeavour to purify the nation so that it can live in its God-given fatherland. In order to assure national resurrection, Legionaries want to create a "New Man", understood as a new male. This ideal combines the qualities of a Christian martyr, a working hero, a monk and a militant and as such both complex and ambiguous. In practice, Legionaries have a lot in common with other European "boot boys". Based on field studies, this article discusses the role of men in this movement: their role models, male bonding, rituals and myths, as well as their concepts of family, brotherhood and blood relations, all with reference to a particular ethnonationalistic, christocentric worldview.

This statement is a final balance owed.
Family Law Attorney
I'm assuming you are asking how long does the landlord have to give you an accounting showing what deductions were taken from your deposit.
Once you give the landlord notice of your new address, they have 30 days to send your deposit refund or an accounting detailing what was deducted and why. The Texas Property Code says that a landlord is presumed to have acted in bad faith if they do not do this and that a tenant can sue a landlord to recover their deposit plus treble damages (3 times the amount of the deposit), attorney's fees, and costs of court.
