People locked into a vegetative state due to disease or injury are a major mystery for medical science. Some may be fully unconscious, while others remain aware of what's going on around them but can't speak or move to show it. Now scientists at Cambridge have reported in journal PLOS Computational Biology on a new technique that can help identify locked-in people that can still hear and retain their consciousness.
Some details from the study abstract:
We devised a novel topographical metric, termed modular span, which showed that the alpha network modules in patients were also spatially circumscribed, lacking the structured long-distance interactions commonly observed in the healthy controls. Importantly however, these differences between graph-theoretic metrics were partially reversed in delta and theta band networks, which were also significantly more similar to each other in patients than controls. Going further, we found that metrics of alpha network efficiency also correlated with the degree of behavioural awareness. Intriguingly, some patients in behaviourally unresponsive vegetative states who demonstrated evidence of covert awareness with functional neuroimaging stood out from this trend: they had alpha networks that were remarkably well preserved and similar to those observed in the controls. Taken together, our findings inform current understanding of disorders of consciousness by highlighting the distinctive brain networks that characterise them. In the significant minority of vegetative patients who follow commands in neuroimaging tests, they point to putative network mechanisms that could support cognitive function and consciousness despite profound behavioural impairment.

New Material May Help Us To Breathe Underwater
Scientists in Denmark announced they have developed a substance that absorbs, stores and releases huge amounts of oxygen.
The substance is so effective that just a few grains are capable of storing enough oxygen for a single human breath while a bucket full of the new material could capture an entire room of O2.
With the new material there are hopes those requiring medical oxygen might soon be freed from carrying bulky tanks, while SCUBA divers might also be able to use the material to absorb oxygen from water, allowing them to stay submerged for significantly longer.
The substance was developed by tinkering with the molecular structure of cobalt, a chemical element that when found in meteoric iron, resembles a silver-gray metal.

Information Entropy
Information – Entropy by Oliver Reichenstein
Will information technology affect our minds the same way the environment was affected by our analogue technology? Designers hold a key position in dealing with ever increasing data pollution. We are mostly focussed on speeding things up, on making sharing easier, faster, more accessible. But speed, usability, accessibility are not the main issue anymore. The main issues are not technological, they are structural, processual. What we lack is clarity, correctness, depth, time. Are there counter-techniques we can employ to turn data into information, information into knowledge, knowledge into wisdom?

Detecting awareness in patients with disorders of consciousness using a hybrid brain-computer interface
Detecting awareness in patients with disorders of consciousness using a hybrid brain-computer interface.
J Neural Eng. 2014 Aug 1;11(5):056007
Authors: Pan J, Xie Q, He Y, Wang F, Di H, Laureys S, Yu R, Li Y
Abstract. Objective. The bedside detection of potential awareness in patients with disorders of consciousness (DOC) currently relies only on behavioral observations and tests; however, the misdiagnosis rates in this patient group are historically relatively high. In this study, we proposed a visual hybrid brain-computer interface (BCI) combining P300 and steady-state evoked potential (SSVEP) responses to detect awareness in severely brain injured patients. Approach. Four healthy subjects, seven DOC patients who were in a vegetative state (VS, n = 4) or minimally conscious state (MCS, n = 3), and one locked-in syndrome (LIS) patient attempted a command-following experiment. In each experimental trial, two photos were presented to each patient; one was the patient's own photo, and the other photo was unfamiliar. The patients were instructed to focus on their own or the unfamiliar photos. The BCI system determined which photo the patient focused on with both P300 and SSVEP detections. Main results. Four healthy subjects, one of the 4 VS, one of the 3 MCS, and the LIS patient were able to selectively attend to their own or the unfamiliar photos (classification accuracy, 66-100%). Two additional patients (one VS and one MCS) failed to attend the unfamiliar photo (50-52%) but achieved significant accuracies for their own photo (64-68%). All other patients failed to show any significant response to commands (46-55%). Significance. Through the hybrid BCI system, command following was detected in four healthy subjects, two of 7 DOC patients, and one LIS patient. We suggest that the hybrid BCI system could be used as a supportive bedside tool to detect awareness in patients with DOC.
Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction as a Stress Management Intervention for Healthy Individuals: A Systematic Review
Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction as a Stress Management Intervention for Healthy Individuals: A Systematic Review.
J Evid Based Complementary Altern Med. 2014 Jul 22; Authors: Sharma M, Rush SE
Stress is a global public health problem with several negative health consequences, including anxiety, depression, cardiovascular disease, and suicide. Mindfulness-based stress reduction offers an effective way of reducing stress by combining mindfulness meditation and yoga in an 8-week training program. The purpose of this study was to look at studies from January 2009 to January 2014 and examine whether mindfulness-based stress reduction is a potentially viable method for managing stress. A systematic search from Medline, CINAHL, and Alt HealthWatch databases was conducted for all types of quantitative articles involving mindfulness-based stress reduction. A total of 17 articles met the inclusion criteria. Of the 17 studies, 16 demonstrated positive changes in psychological or physiological outcomes related to anxiety and/or stress. Despite the limitations of not all studies using randomized controlled design, having smaller sample sizes, and having different outcomes, mindfulness-based stress reduction appears to be a promising modality for stress management.

1st Place Video at 2014 Princeton University Art of Science competition
And the winner is... Sabine Petry and co-workers, Petry Lab, Princeton Department of Molecular Biology.
Description: Microtubules are hollow filaments that serve as the skeleton of the cell. They were thought to grow linearly, but this movie shows that they can branch: microtubules (red with growing tips in green) grow off the wall of existing microtubules. In addition, microtubules are moved along the glass surface by molecular motors. Microtubule branching amplifies the microtubules while preserving their polarity and explains how microtubules can cause the mitotic spindle of a dividing cell to reliably segregate chromosomes (Petry et al., Cell 2013).
Scale: A microtubule has a diameter of 25 nanometer and is the largest cytosekeletal filament in the cell.

Impact, funding, and Nasruddin's key
In his Science editorial (A perverted view of 'impact,' Science, 2013 Jun 14, p. 1265), cell biologist and biochemist Marc Kirschner warns against National Institute of Health's recent introduction of ''impact and significance'' as an explicit criterion to funding decisions.
According to Kirschner, overemphasis on short-term impact (especially in fundamental research) can lead applicants to overstate potential benefits of their proposals. Moreover, as Kirschner notes, scientists working in fundamental research can rarely anticipate future applications of their eventual discoveries. A further risk related to the introduction of this criterion is that increasing investments in areas that are considered impactful will in-evitably decrease resources for other fields. As a result, diversity in science will be reduced as well as productivity.
Although I tend to resonate with Kirschner's general argument, I also believe that there are compelling reasons in favor of introducing (maintaining) impact as a criterion in funding decisions.
First, at least some scientists, if not all of them, might have a clear view about the significance of their research.
Second, resources for science are scarce. Since choices need to be made, concentrating funding on research that has more promising applications is meaningful. As in the popular Nasruddin's tale, no matter where we may have lost the key, we all prefer to begin under the street light where we can see—and so it is for funding bodies.
Third, however, this strategy does not prevent the fact that some resources are dedicated to high risk/high impact projects; see, as an example, the European Commission Future and Emerging Technologies Flagships' initiatives.
Fourth, the growing gap between science and the public could be reduced if researchers would better explain the significance of their work for society. This is especially true in times of economic depression: early evidence suggests that citizens of regions more affected by crisis are more likely to express support for increases in government investments in research (L. Sanz-Menéndez, G. G. Van Ryzin, Economic crisis and public attitudes toward science: a study of regional differences in Spain. Public Underst Sci. 2013 Jun 21).
We are aware that impact and significance are ill-defined concepts. However, researchers are good at measuring things. They could put more effort in trying to define better indicators for these issues, making impact review a less arbitrary system.

Measuring the effects through time of the influence of visuomotor and visuotactile synchronous stimulation on a virtual body ownership illusion
Measuring the effects through time of the influence of visuomotor and visuotactile synchronous stimulation on a virtual body ownership illusion.
Perception. 2014;43(1):43-58
Authors: Kokkinara E, Slater M
Abstract. Previous studies have examined the experience of owning a virtual surrogate body or body part through specific combinations of cross-modal multisensory stimulation. Both visuomotor (VM) and visuotactile (VT) synchronous stimulation have been shown to be important for inducing a body ownership illusion, each tested separately or both in combination. In this study we compared the relative importance of these two cross-modal correlations, when both are provided in the same immersive virtual reality setup and the same experiment. We systematically manipulated VT and VM contingencies in order to assess their relative role and mutual interaction. Moreover, we present a new method for measuring the induced body ownership illusion through time, by recording reports of breaks in the illusion of ownership ('breaks') throughout the experimental phase. The balance of the evidence, from both questionnaires and analysis of the breaks, suggests that while VM synchronous stimulation contributes the greatest to the attainment of the illusion, a disruption of either (through asynchronous stimulation) contributes equally to the probability of a break in the illusion.

A high-fidelity virtual environment for the study of paranoia
A high-fidelity virtual environment for the study of paranoia.
Schizophr Res Treatment. 2013;2013:538185
Authors: Broome MR, Zányi E, Hamborg T, Selmanovic E, Czanner S, Birchwood M, Chalmers A, Singh SP
Abstract. Psychotic disorders carry social and economic costs for sufferers and society. Recent evidence highlights the risk posed by urban upbringing and social deprivation in the genesis of paranoia and psychosis. Evidence based psychological interventions are often not offered because of a lack of therapists. Virtual reality (VR) environments have been used to treat mental health problems. VR may be a way of understanding the aetiological processes in psychosis and increasing psychotherapeutic resources for its treatment. We developed a high-fidelity virtual reality scenario of an urban street scene to test the hypothesis that virtual urban exposure is able to generate paranoia to a comparable or greater extent than scenarios using indoor scenes. Participants (n = 32) entered the VR scenario for four minutes, after which time their degree of paranoid ideation was assessed. We demonstrated that the virtual reality scenario was able to elicit paranoia in a nonclinical, healthy group and that an urban scene was more likely to lead to higher levels of paranoia than a virtual indoor environment. We suggest that this study offers evidence to support the role of exposure to factors in the urban environment in the genesis and maintenance of psychotic experiences and symptoms. The realistic high-fidelity street scene scenario may offer a useful tool for therapists.
Bodily maps of emotions

Researchers at Aalto University in Finland have compiled maps of emotional feelings associated with culturally universal bodily sensations, which could be at the core of emotional experience.
The researchers found that the most common emotions trigger strong bodily sensations, and the bodily maps of these sensations were topographically different for different emotions. The sensation patterns were, however, consistent across different West European and East Asian cultures, highlighting that emotions and their corresponding bodily sensation patterns have a biological basis.
The research was carried out on line, and over 700 individuals from Finland, Sweden and Taiwan took part in the study. The researchers induced different emotional states in their Finnish and Taiwanese participants. Subsequently the participants were shown pictures of human bodies on a computer, and asked to color the bodily regions whose activity they felt increasing or decreasing.
"Unraveling the subjective bodily sensations associated with human emotions may help us to better understand mood disorders such as depression and anxiety, which are accompanied by altered emotional processing, autonomic nervous system activity, and somatosensation (body sensations)," the researchers said in an open-access paper in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. "These topographical changes in emotion-triggered sensations in the body could provide a novel biomarker for emotional disorders."
Abstract of PNAS paper
Lauri Nummenmaa at al., Bodily maps of emotions, PNAS, 646–651, doi: 10.1073/pnas.1321664111 (open access)
Emotions are often felt in the body, and somatosensory feedback has been proposed to trigger conscious emotional experiences. Here we reveal maps of bodily sensations associated with different emotions using a unique topographical self-report method. In five experiments, participants (n = 701) were shown two silhouettes of bodies alongside emotional words, stories, movies, or facial expressions. They were asked to color the bodily regions whose activity they felt increasing or decreasing while viewing each stimulus. Different emotions were consistently associated with statistically separable bodily sensation maps across experiments. These maps were concordant across West European and East Asian samples. Statistical classifiers distinguished emotion-specific activation maps accurately, confirming independence of topographies across emotions. We propose that emotions are represented in the somatosensory system as culturally universal categorical somatotopic maps. Perception of these emotion-triggered bodily changes may play a key role in generating consciously felt emotions.

Effect of Meditation on Cognitive Functions in Context of Aging and Neurodegenerative Diseases
Effect of Meditation on Cognitive Functions in Context of Aging and Neurodegenerative Diseases.
Front Behav Neurosci. 2014;8:17
Authors: Marciniak R, Sheardova K, Cermáková P, Hudeček D, Sumec R, Hort J
Abstract. Effect of different meditation practices on various aspects of mental and physical health is receiving growing attention. The present paper reviews evidence on the effects of several mediation practices on cognitive functions in the context of aging and neurodegenerative diseases. The effect of meditation in this area is still poorly explored. Seven studies were detected through the databases search, which explores the effect of meditation on attention, memory, executive functions, and other miscellaneous measures of cognition in a sample of older people and people suffering from neurodegenerative diseases. Overall, reviewed studies suggested a positive effect of meditation techniques, particularly in the area of attention, as well as memory, verbal fluency, and cognitive flexibility. These findings are discussed in the context of MRI studies suggesting structural correlates of the effects. Meditation can be a potentially suitable non-pharmacological intervention aimed at the prevention of cognitive decline in the elderly. However, the conclusions of these studies are limited by their methodological flaws and differences of various types of meditation techniques. Further research in this direction could help to verify the validity of the findings and clarify the problematic aspects.

The Creative Link: Investigating the Relationship Between Social Network Indices, Creative Performance and Flow in Blended Teams
The Creative Link: Investigating the Relationship Between Social Network Indices, Creative Performance and Flow in Blended Teams
Andrea Gaggioli, Elvis Mazzoni, Luca Milani, Giuseppe Riva
This study presents findings of an exploratory study, which has investigated the relationship between indices of social network structure, flow and creative performance in students collaborating in blended setting. Thirty undergraduate students enrolled in a Media Psychology course were included in five groups, which were tasked with designing a new technology-based psychological application. Team members collaborated over a twelve-week period using two main modalities: face-to-face meeting sessions in the classroom (once a week) and virtually using a groupware tool. Social network indicators of group interaction and presence indices were extracted from communication logs, whereas flow and product creativity were assessed through survey measures. Findings showed that specific social network indices (in particular those measuring decentralization and neighbor interaction) were positively related with flow experience. More broadly, results indicated that selected social network indicators can offer useful insight into the creative collaboration process. Theoretical and methodological implications of these results are drawn.

Mobile EEG and its potential to promote the theory and application of imagery-based motor rehabilitation
Mobile EEG and its potential to promote the theory and application of imagery-based motor rehabilitation.
Int J Psychophysiol. 2013 Oct 18;
Authors: Kranczioch C, Zich C, Schierholz I, Sterr A
Abstract. Studying the brain in its natural state remains a major challenge for neuroscience. Solving this challenge would not only enable the refinement of cognitive theory, but also provide a better understanding of cognitive function in the type of complex and unpredictable situations that constitute daily life, and which are often disturbed in clinical populations. With mobile EEG, researchers now have access to a tool that can help address these issues. In this paper we present an overview of technical advancements in mobile EEG systems and associated analysis tools, and explore the benefits of this new technology. Using the example of motor imagery (MI) we will examine the translational potential of MI-based neurofeedback training for neurological rehabilitation and applied research.

Welcome to wonderland: the influence of the size and shape of a virtual hand on the perceived size and shape of virtual objects
Welcome to wonderland: the influence of the size and shape of a virtual hand on the perceived size and shape of virtual objects.
PLoS One. 2013;8(7):e68594
Authors: Linkenauger SA, Leyrer M, Bülthoff HH, Mohler BJ
The notion of body-based scaling suggests that our body and its action capabilities are used to scale the spatial layout of the environment. Here we present four studies supporting this perspective by showing that the hand acts as a metric which individuals use to scale the apparent sizes of objects in the environment. However to test this, one must be able to manipulate the size and/or dimensions of the perceiver's hand which is difficult in the real world due to impliability of hand dimensions. To overcome this limitation, we used virtual reality to manipulate dimensions of participants' fully-tracked, virtual hands to investigate its influence on the perceived size and shape of virtual objects. In a series of experiments, using several measures, we show that individuals' estimations of the sizes of virtual objects differ depending on the size of their virtual hand in the direction consistent with the body-based scaling hypothesis. Additionally, we found that these effects were specific to participants' virtual hands rather than another avatar's hands or a salient familiar-sized object. While these studies provide support for a body-based approach to the scaling of the spatial layout, they also demonstrate the influence of virtual bodies on perception of virtual environments.

My dissertation, entitled "The Epistemology of Transgender Political Resistance: Embodied Experience and the Practices of Everyday Life," explores how the classificatory schemes of everyday life, including those of social and legal institutions, have distorted the political practices and identities of trans people. My work contributes to the literature on epistemic justice and transgender rights by allowing transgender political actors to speak to their own gendered/sexed identities and lived experiences as political agents.
I was previously the Assistant Editor of The Politics of Sexuality (Greenwood, 2010), having contributed a number of articles to that volume regarding LGBT issues. I also served as the Associate Editor of Global HIV/AIDS Politics, Policy and Activism: Persistent Challenges and Emerging Issues (Praeger, 2013). I've published in The Greenwood Encyclopedia of LGBT Issues Worldwide (Greenwood, 2010) and also co-authored two book chapters about American politics in Importing Democracy: Ideas from Around the World to Reform and Revitalize American Politics and Government (Praeger, 2010).
My recent work is in the inaugural issue of TSQ: Transgender Studies Quarterly (Duke 2014). I also have a co-authored paper with Professor Paisley Currah in production concerning the invisible politics of transgender communities, as well as the epistemic injustices these communities face through everyday discriminatory practices–as well as social and political institutions who reproduce misconceptions of their identities.
Some of my (old) conference papers have been uploaded here. And check out my co-hosted podcast, Always Already Podcast, here. And please, explore the rest of my blog.

The adjective can be boldface or boldfaced, but not bolded.
Here we often use 'emboldened' as well.

Superman found Dead! I missed the headline blazing across newspapers all over the country. I'm not surprised, I was less than four years old in June of 1959 when George Reeves, the actor who starred as both Superman and reporter Clark Kent, was found in his bedroom, dead, apparently of a self inflicted gunshot wound. At four I wasn't interested in such things as Superman. At six and seven that changed and I was hooked on the television series "The Adventures of Superman." At some point after that age I found out that George Reeves, Superman, was dead. What I didn't know until much later in my life was that there were in fact many questions about the death of actor George Reeves. Enough questions to make one wonder did the actor really kill himself or was he killed? Read more »
Everything is interconnected, therefore if the case you are working on isn't getting anywhere, follow the first person you see who seems to know where they are going and the likelihood is you will arrive at the place you need to be.

Recently I've begun watching a CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) series called The Murdoch Mysteries. The program set in 1890's Toronto Canada features a young detective by the name of William Murdoch. Like Sherlock Holmes Murdoch is ahead of his time. He applies not only skill, but also new discoveries in science to his investigations. The mysteries are as good as any that have come out of the BBC and the show doesn't take itself too seriously.

The year is 1964. America and Russia are in the midst of a cold war and nuclear proliferation. The possibility of nuclear war is on almost everyone's mind. The questions are asked, "Could we start a war by accident?" and "Once in motion, could we stop such a war?" In 1964 two films were made that attempted to answer that question, in very different ways. Read more »
There is nothing like the adventure of a good spy movie. Undercover Blues is nothing like a good spy movie, it is however a spy parody. This 1993 movie stars Kathleen Turner and Dennis Quaid as Jane and Jefferson Blue, two spies out on maternity leave in the city of New Orleans, who are called back into action with their newborn in tow. The Blues are the type of people you want in a tense moment, nothing fazes them and they always seem to be in control, even if they aren't
Undercover Blues is not a fall on your face laughing parody like Spy Hard, or Top Secret which try to hit you with one joke after another hoping that if you didn't like the last joke you'll like the next one. It is more like watching the James Garner Western parody Support Your Local Sheriff. The humor is a little dry and will make you chuckle. It is willing to take its time to build a joke and wait for the pay off. Dennis Quaid plays Jefferson Blue as a little cocky and sure of himself. Kathleen Turner seems more like a typical housewife, but with a bit of sultriness to her as well. They want to give the impression they are just like everyone else when it is obvious they are not. Undercover Blues is lighthearted comedy with villains that are more than a little over the top. You'll find a little violence and a touch of sexiness, but nothing out of the PG range. In all Undercover Blues is a film that you don't have to think about too hard and that you can sit back and enjoy.
Almost all of us are familiar with Walt Disney's Fantasia. The premise of this movie was simple to state if not to carry out; turn a group of Disney animators loose interpreting classical music into a vibrate visual style. Walt Disney animators did this with elegance and style.
Enter Italian film producer Bruno Bozzetto. He gives us a fictional director who aspires to share with us his truly original idea; to take classical music and force an animator he has kept locked away for years upon classical music and interpret it into a vibrate visual style. Read more »
I think there are very few of us who haven't at one time or another dreamed of being a superhero. The chance to fly, manipulate objects with our minds and be nearly invulnerable would be wonderful. I'm sure we'd all like to think that we would be noble and use our power for good. Chronicle is the record of three teenage boys who after encountering a strange object underground begin to develop special powers. They start slowly at first but over time their powers develop. Having such new powers invites mistakes, accidents, and failures. Read more »

yes but that is stopping someone selling it on,there is a large market for second hand games,and there way of doing business is stopping people from selling on
Re: cod ghostsblackrose0125 Aug 7, 2014 1:33 PM (in response to bugbasher)
Activision doesn't have a way to stop players from reselling the game. First, because it is hard to track or there's no way to track it. Second, it's the player's discretion to resell it and third, it's the prerogative of the other players to buy it. It's highly advisable to buy games from authorized retailers because there's an assurance that those games are genuine and have not been used.
Re: cod ghostsimsuperweird Aug 18, 2014 11:55 AM (in response to bugbasher)
Yeah got your point buddy but Steam only reads a particular key code for a particular account. This means that since the key code was registered under the original owner's account, the license to install and use the game is with his account. That game can't be registered under 2 different accounts.

Lullaby Town is Chelam, Connecticut, where L.A. shamus Elvis Cole (The Monkey's Raincoat, 1987--not reviewed) goes in search of Karen Shipley, divorced ten years earlier by boyish filmmaker Peter Alan Nelsen, who's since developed deep pockets (courtesy of a string of action hits beginning with Chainsaw) and a conscience of sorts. Just when it looks like Elvis has found Karen and her son, Toby, all too easily, Karen turns out to be laundering money for the Mafia, and the story takes off like a two-stage rocket. It'll take all of Elvis's wise-guy savvy to pry Karen loose from those other wise-guys without condemning her to the witness-protection program or the East River. Elvis is as sharp as a West Coast Spenser, but without Spenser's nasty/noble attitudinizing--and this story is pure pleasure from the very first page. -- Copyright ©1992, Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
Hollywood's newest wunderkind is Peter Alan Nelson, the brilliant, erratic director known as the King of Adventure. His films make billions, but his manners make enemies. What the boy king wants, he gets, and what Nelson wants is for Elvis to comb the country for the airhead wife and infant child the film-school flunkout dumped en route to becoming the third biggest filmmaker in America. It's the kind of case Cole can handle in his sleep -- until it turns out to be a nightmare. For when Cole finds Nelson's wife in a small Conneticut town, she's nothing like what he expects. The lady has some unwanted -- and very nasty -- mob connections, which means Elvis could be opening the East Coast branch of his P.I. office . . .at the bottom of the Hudson River. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.See all Product Description

Termite Free is the Cypress Guarantee
See our Specials page for the latest offers
Termite Resistant Timber - locally sourced - delivery throughout South East Queensland - other areas available on request. Cypress Supplies began operating as a Timber Merchant at 9 Auster Court Caboolture in 1995. Within 6 months due to the demand for manufactured cypress roof trusses, a small truss plant was set up and an experienced team hired.
By 2001 the business had outgrown its premises and the timber yard and the pre nail wall frame operations moved two doors away to 21 - 25 Piper Street. Cypress Supplies has become the largest stockist of cypress timber in the Brisbane area.
In July 2008 Cypress Supplies purchased the Roma Cypress Mill from Fleming Cypress Pty Ltd. The purchase of the Mill has guaranteed that our customers will have their special orders within 5 - 7 working days from time of order.
Cypress Supplies attained its AFC & PEFC Chain of Custody accreditation in 2010. This guarantees that our cypress timber is only sourced from fully sustainable and managed forests. Our AFS Chain of Custody Certification also guarantees that all other timber structural products including termite resistant engineered beams, hardwood flooring and decking are only purchased from a legal timber supply and do not come from controversial sources.
Cypress Supplies only purchases timber from the QLD government. Our timber is naturally termite resistant and only harvested from sustainable resources. We have our Chain of Custody certification and are audited yearly.
Our experienced team is able to assist you with your various timber needs and can either quote or give advice on your pergola, pavilion, decks and assorted projects. Our Estimators can also quote on roof trusses, prenail wall frames and posi joists from your plans.

Armed with a warm coat, waterproof rubber boots and our trusty binoculars, my travel partner and I set out to track down as many species as possible during a weeklong cruise aboard Lindblad Expeditions' National Geographic Sea Lion. This 62-passenger expedition ship is built for up-close encounters of the animal kind, with four Zodiac landing craft that take passengers along uninhabited shores where bears forage and bald eagles build their nests. The itinerary includes a cruise through Glacier Bay National Park, where protected islands shelter nesting sea birds, and an anchorage in the nutrient-rich waters of the Inian Islands, where at one point there was so much wildlife around us that we weren't sure where to look: at the bald eagles circling overhead? At the sea lions grunting on the shore? At the sea otter swimming past with its shellfish lunch on its belly?
Alaska expedition cruises offer another key benefit for wildlife-watchers: a staff of naturalists that lead interpretive nature walks, help cruisers spot animals from the observation deck and give evening talks about the local fauna. The naturalists allow you to go from merely seeing wildlife to learning about it.
Prefer big-ship cruising? Bring your binoculars on any Alaska cruise, no matter how big the ship, and you can spot wildlife from the outer decks or your balcony. Many shore excursions take passengers to wilderness areas, as well, in the hopes of spotting whales, bears and other northerly creatures -- even if you're not on an expedition sailing.
Start the slideshow above for a checklist of 10 amazing animals to seek out on an Alaska cruise.
--by Sarah Schlichter, Editor, Independent Traveler
Editor's Note: You may notice that we don't mention one of Alaska's best-known animals, the moose, in the following slideshow; that's because you're unlikely to see one in the Inside Passage. If moose are high on your must-see list, consider adding a Denali land excursion to the beginning or end of your trip.

My PC is running Windows Vista Business edition, MS Office 2003, client of ISA 2000 Server and I also installed the ISA client for Vista.
My problem is my Outlook 2003 (SMTP and POP3) can't connect to the internet. I try to update all Windows Vista updates, MS Office 2003 updates and ISA 2000 Server updates and also the new ISA client for Vista but unfortunately still my Outlook looks like my ISA 2000 Server can't accept. However no problem with my browser I can connect to the internet.
With my other PC which is running XP and same configuration except the ISA client installed based on the previous ISA 2000 version it's all normal and physically connected.
I'm now still continuing to search to solve this problem but only this ISA client for Vista I found out but after I install still I can't connect.
I hope you can give solution about this matter ... anybody have solution to this matter please e-mail at : firstname.lastname@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com
Thank you.

Hi guys,
I'm having a simular problem. A client of mine is running vista business & they run isa2000. The vista laptop will not connect to the internet. when i check the network status it shows local only, the internet side has a red cross over it. I can browse the internet if i manually put in the proxy settings into I.E but the status still displays local only.
I hope you can give me a solution to this matter. please mail solution to firstname.lastname@example.com
Same problem for ages. No one seems to want to answer. in fact most answers seemed to suggest that I was crazy to want to do something like this. Did you guys mangage to solve this?
I cant send email by smtp when ISA SERVER 2000 Firewall client is enabled. I m using outlook 2003 and getting mails from pop3 but cant send emails. When i disable the firewall client then i can sen emails.
i also have same issue please any one have solution in this regard please let post it
I can browse the internet if i manually put in the proxy settings into it.
The problem is solved.
MS Firewall Client for ISA Server v 4.0 conflicts with Vista!!!
My application uses Remoting.net technique by TCP channel. An exception is issued when my client calls to the server:
>The exception ArgumentNullException arises in
>system function CopyToManaged because of
>null "source" argument.
For coding, I took the simplest Remoting sample from the Microsoft site:
And it crashes under Vista if Firewall Client for ISA Server is present. (Under XP no problem remoting).
After I had uninstalled Firewall Client from my Vista PC the problem was gone.
Does Microsoft know about this issue?
Details on the exception follow:
System.ArgumentNullException was unhandled
Message="Значение не может быть неопределенным.\r\nИмя параметра: source"
в System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.CopyToManaged(IntPtr source, Object destination, Int32 startIndex, Int32 length)
в System.Net.Sockets.AcceptOverlappedAsyncResult.PostCompletion(Int32 numBytes)
в System.Net.Sockets.BaseOverlappedAsyncResult.CompletionPortCallback(UInt32 errorCode, UInt32 numBytes, NativeOverlapped* nativeOverlapped)
в System.Threading._IOCompletionCallback.PerformIOCompletionCallback(UInt32 errorCode, UInt32 numBytes, NativeOverlapped* pOVERLAP)
BTW, WCF also hangs on Vista with ISA Client present
We need a patch for ISA !!!

Vico del Carmine
Via Pisana 40-42R, Florence, 50143

Expert review of Vico del Carmine
Done out as a typical Neapolitan side street ('vico') complete with washing hanging out to dry, this place gets my vote for the best pizza in town. It comes with the sort of noisy, crowded atmosphere that you would find in a similar place in Naples, but that just makes it feel more authentic. Don't risk what I've often tried to do and trek out here without booking; there's always a queue outside the door.
The pizzas come Neapolitan style with a puffy, light crust and are baked in an authentic pizza oven; ingredients are strictly sourced from the Campania region (the quality of the tomatoes and the mozzarella are fundamental to a good pizza, as is the flour), along with most of the wines. There are also pasta and fish dishes, although most of the punters come for the pizza.
My favourite pizza is the unpronounceable 'a chiummenzana' which has a folded over crust stuffed with ricotta and a base covered with cherry tomatoes and smoked scamorza cheese.
Noisy and crowded; it could almost be the real thing.
Rushed and rather brusque: the owner is notoriously un-simpatico.
it is a five-minute walk west of the old city gate of Porta San Frediano just south of the river.
A pizza and a beer here will cost around 18 euros; you'll pay considerably more if you go for the fish dishes.

Our frozen
wine slush mix, made of all natural ingredients, makes great
tasting frozen wine slushes, and works wonderfully with your
favorite frozen cocktail recipe. Great with Rum, Vodka, Champange
and many other libations.
To make a
Frappe Vino wine slush, simply pour the powdered mix into a zip-top
gallon sized baggie or a plastic container, add a 750ml bottle of
red or white wine (inexpensive will do), and 750ml of water (use
the wine bottle as your measuring tool). Place the mix in the
freezer, and in 3-5 hours you will have a wonderful frozen wine
Green Tea is
the base for our mix. Evaporated cane juice is used as a sweetener
and red cranberry juice is used for color. The wine used gives
Frappe Vino its' ultimate color and flavor.
Visit our
recipes section for more ideas.

I have an object like:
UIInput<String> name
The value is retrieved by calling String value = name.getValue();, however, my intention is to use the BV annotations:
@Size(min=3, max=10)
UIInput<String> name
The problem is that an javax.validation.UnexpectedTypeExceptionHV000030: No validator could be found for type: org.jboss.forge.addon.ui.input.UIInput<java.lang.String> is thrown. This is correct according to the spec, since I don't intend to
validate UIInput, but the value itself.
This is also useful in JavaFX, where you have StringProperty instead of plain Strings etc

HV-565 @Valid for custom composite types
- Closed
- is fixed by
HV-860 Leverage validated value unwrapper for validateProperty() and validateValue()
- Closed
- links to
I am not so keen on on the SPI idea for now for several reasons. First off, it creates ambiguities. What does a @NotNull or @Null constraint validate, the UIInput instance or the wrapped string? Also in this particular case what you really want to do is UIInput<@Size String> which we will support for Java 8. In fact for this case we will need some sort of additional contract which allows us to extract values. The difference is that in this case there is no ambiguity regarding the constrained type.
For now there are several things which could be done:
- Bundle the required ConstraintValidator implementations as part of the framework and provide them to the user. In this case you can do what you suggest, but we don't have to change the Validator code.
- To avoid the mentioned ambiguities and provide the requested features we could introduce an additional annotation:
@Size(min=3, max=10) @UnwrapValidationValue UIInput<String> name
In this case we would still need the spi to register type "unwrapper"s, but at least it becomes explicit on a validation target level. We could have a class level version of the annotation as well which indicates that all values should be unwrapped. The one case which is not covered is multiple constraints on a property where some target the wrapper and some the wrapped value. I guess the meaning of @UnwrapValidationValue in this case would be to apply the unwrapping for all constraints.
- A third option would be:
@Size(min=3, max=10) @UnwrapValidationValue(impl=MyUIUnWrapper.class) UIInput<String> name
In this case the unwrap annotation specifies explicitly the unwrapper type (the exact contract of this unwrapper needs to be discussed). In this case we would not even need an additional spi. Everything is made explicit and all information to implement the feature is available. Of course this solution has also the drawback that you cannot mix the target of the constraints. It is either the annotated type itself (no @UnwrapValidationValue or the wrapped value (in case @UnwrapValidationValue is used)
I in particular don't want to introduce something now which is sub optimal in conjunction with the Java 8 work we are going to start soon.
Hi George, I can confirm that this is a bug within HV. Currently, registered value unwrappers are only invoked for Validator#validate() and the methods for executable validation but not for validateProperty() and validateValue() (which you are using). I've created
HV-860 for fixing this.
Btw. HV 5.x needs an EL implementation on the classpath; So I tried to add one as test dependency to bean-validation-tests/pom.xml but when running the test the class still was missing. Is there anything special to consider when adding dependencies here?
You need to add the dependency to the bean-validation/addon/pom.xml or add
in the ForgeArchive in the Arquillian test
Hey George, I've submitted a PR for
HV-860; Either you build HV yourself based on that branch or you wait until the issue has been merged and the snapshot has been deployed to Nexus. validateValue() applies now unwrappers as expected.
Awesome! Will try with the latest snapshot when it's available. When is the next release coming up?

Max a couple of weeks. We want to get 5.1.0.Final out of the door asap.
