Monkey With a Typewriter
"...Look at me. I worked myself up from nothing to a state of extreme poverty."

Have you seen my new blogs? I have Movie Reviews, Book Reviews, and Music Reviews! FUN! That will allow me to free up this blog for its original intention: political ramblings! Well, actually, it will mostly be about my writing, how I'm progressing, what I'm accomplishing and thinking of, etc. You know, the kind of thing most authors wait to do until after they've published and people care. But i'll still insert the random humor and political insights...
So anyway, have you been telling your friends about this site? Why not? Go! Help spread the word! Tell them to link to me! (I'll link to them...if it's a cool site...)

I just got to thinking, I haven't made any movie/book/album recommendations lately.
And I know you live and die for them.
So I say to you, "I'm rockin' on Steve Burns." Yeah, THAT Steve Burns. Blue's Clues Steve Burns. I think a writer's best friend could be Steve's fantastic "songs for dustmites" followed by the Flaming Lips' "Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots". Simply amazing. Although it would have been quite cool to hear Blue give a "Bah-BAHR!!!" in the background. Plus, Steve Burns looks EXACTLY like my friend Joe Capps. Or does Joe look like Steve? Perhaps I'll find photos of the two to post here for comparison...
Anyway, Is there a word for this kind of music? It's not Emo. It's not alt.rock, but Lordy I miss my alt.rock. And I miss my rock, too. Perhaps Velvet Revolver could change all of this...
The Devil in the White City by Erik Larson - Fun, Murder, Murder, fun and more Murder at the 1893 Columbian Exposition in Chicago. The fair that introduced America to Shredded Wheat, Pabst Blue Ribbon, the Ferris Wheel, and the vicious serial killer.
Join Me! by Danny Wallace -- READ IT! JOIN DANNY! Because as the song says, "You gotta join...join Danny!" He's British! He's hilarious! He's started a cult that nobody would be ashamed to join! (I'm having my passport photo taken this weekend!) You'll see-- it's easy, it's fun, it's an idea I wish I would have thought of... maybe I can be vice-general of the California branch of the Karma Army. Here, look at this and understand. JOIN DANNY! - It's not a cult, it's a collective!
Politics and monkeys...
This post is a bit lazy on my part, but that's okay, because it's funny stuff. Quotes about our mighty commander in chief, his cronies, etc, from late-night...
Which makes me wish Conan O'Brien would run for president.
"Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld had a press conference at the Pentagon.
If you listen to him speak, it really makes you wonder what the f**k he's
thinking. [Shows clip of Rumsfeld threatening to hold Syria and Iran
accountable for hostile acts against the U.S.] Do you see what he just did
there? We're in the middle of a war, and he's starting another war. We're
already fighting Iraq and he's like, 'Syria, you want a piece?' ...There is
nothing like a cantankerous old man who takes a hey-you-kids-get-off-my-lawn
approach to foreign policy. The guy's literally just like drunk swinging a
broken bottle at people. 'Hey Netherlands, you looking at me?'" --Jon Stewart
"President Bush delivered a commencement speech at a university in
Wisconsin. A very inspirational speech. Apparently Bush told the students,
'You can do anything in life if your parents work hard enough.'" --Conan
"President Bush's campaign is now attacking John Kerry for throwing away
some of his medals to protest the Vietnam War. Bush did not have any medals
to throw away, but in his defense he did have all his services records
thrown out." --Jay Leno
"We ought to thank President Bush. He made it a lot easier for people to do
taxes this year. No job, no income tax this year." --Jay Leno
"President Bush earned $400,000 for his job as president last year. That's
not really that much for being president when you think about it. But
President Bush, he doesn't do it for the money, he does it for the eight
months of vacation every year." --Jay Leno
"In his press conference last night, President Bush said he could not
remember a single mistake he had made in the last two years. The president's
exact quote was: 'I ain't make none mistakes ever.'" --Conan O'Brien
"In response to a request by the 9/11 commission the White House agreed to
declassify the president's daily intelligence briefing from August 6th
titled 'Bin Laden Determined to Attack Inside the United States.' The
commission also wants to see the August 20th briefing, 'No Seriously Bin
Laden Determined to Attack Inside the United States' and also from August
26th, 'Mr. President, Please Put Down the Game Boy, Bin Laden Determined to
Attack Inside the United States.'" --Tina Fey, Saturday Night Live's "Weekend
Some sad news, President Bush's lapdog passed away. Gee, I didn't even know
Tony Blair was sick?" --Jay Leno
And jokewriters were worried when Clinton left office...
Reagan once talked about the need to eliminate the "Evil Empire". And Egg Shen once said, "China is here, Mr. Burton." To which Jack Burton replied, "China is here? What the hell does that mean?" My point is, Big Trouble in Little China was a good movie. And someday, I'd like to write the sequel.
Because when the wind's howlin' and the rain's coming down in sheets, and you think the world's coming to an end, ol' Jack Burton just looks that storm in the eye and says 'Give it your best shot pal. I can take it.'
Wednesday, May 05, 2004
Oh, I know, another blog...
But I can't help it. The more I read about the reaction of conservatives to the Iraqi prison torture, the angrier I get. These seem to be the most frequent "comeback" gems from the right:
1. Where was the outrage when our guys got killed?
2. Islam is evil
3. Sure it was bad, but we do more for their countries than their leaders do.
4. Muslims are bad.
5. The media is blowing this out of proportion and giving ammunition to Anti-American forces.
Where to begin...
1. I am outraged at the murder of American civilians. I was (and still am) outraged at the lies of Clinton. I am outraged he stood by and basically did nothing when the USS Cole was attacked. I am outraged that President Bush the first, Ronald Reagan, Cheney, Georgey Jr. etc CREATED the Taliban, armed Saddam Hussein, removed democratically elected (but administration unfriendly) leaders and replaced them with cruel despots and basically stuck us in the muckhole we're in. However, NONE of that gives us the right to act like hooligans. We have to set the example. When you're at the top of the mountain, you can either strut around and throw rocks at those coming up, or you can offer them encouragement and show them how to climb higher.
2. Do not equate fear of another culture with that culture being evil.
3. We have to be better. Resting on your laurels is not an option.
4. So is Pat Robertson.
5. Anyone can claim media bias, either right or left. But what are you going to tell me, these photos are taken out of context?
You know, conservatives got angry with what Bill Clinton did in the oval office (me too). So why are they tolerating dick and Bush in the office now? It ain't right.
Okay, in the interest of being "fair and balanced" with my last post:
Clarification from Rush:
"Now, don't misunderstand. I'm not suggesting that the torture is okay, because I don't think it is. I'm not suggesting it's not a big deal. I'm not suggesting anything of the sort. I'm trying to say we are in a war, and there are bad guys from our perspective, and they are it, and there are good guys from our perspective, and we are it; and amongst both groups you've got some factions who don't qualify. There are probably some good people in the bad guys and some rotten apples in the good guys, and these people that did this so-called torture may in fact be the rotten apples of the good guy group. But it's like I said: it doesn't taint the whole military effort and it doesn't taint us, but the world is joining in now trying to taint us as a nation, as a people, and as a culture by virtue of these pictures on the basis that we have humiliated these people. What is hijacking our own airplanes and flying them into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon? How humiliating is it to blow up American civilians in a convoy and have their charred bodies dragged from the car and dragged through it streets? There seems to be no sensitivity, concern or outrage for any of this anywhere in the world. So pardon me if my patience is a little short. Again, just so nobody misunderstands, I am not condoning it, supporting it, encouraging it, and suggesting that more of it happen. I'm just saying that this overreaction has gone way, way, way too far, and I'm suspicious of it. I think the overreaction is politically inspired and motivated, and has an objective, which is to undercut our effort. I think people who are overreacting to this are doing so in an effort to harm our ability to prevail here, and I'll be blunt about it, the reason people want to harm our ability to prevail is because they think somehow it will resound negatively on Bush at the polls."
All well and good, BUT:
When you are the "guardians of the free world", (and we should strive to be- nobody else has our money, means, and power, and all us Spidey fans know what Uncle Ben says about great power...), you have to hold yourself to a higher standard. It is quite possible to maintain outrage over atrocities done to Americans while at the same time vilifying those soldiers who would engage in the same practices.
We knew this wouldn't be a popular war. So why weren't precautions taken? Why are we setting ourselves up for more war, terrorism, etc. in the future?
Reason #7,345,961 to remove conservatives from positions of power. Here he is, El Rushbo, that supreme bastion of "compassionate conservatism", Rush Limbaugh, weighing in on the torture of Iraqi prisoners by US Soldiers:
"This is no different than what happens at the Skull and Bones initiation! And were going to ruin peoples lives over it? And were going to hamper our military effort? And then were going to really hammer em because they had a good time?!
You know, these people are being fired at everyday - Im talking about the people having a good time.
You ever hear of emotional release?
You ever hear of need to blow some steam off?
These people are the enemy!"
I think people who have lost jobs since Bush took office should visit Rush and "blow some steam off" with the "good time" device of "military attack dogs" and "sodomy with chemical light sticks".
But that's just the opinion of a bleeding heart.
I am a strong supporter of the US military, when their actions are justified (ie- Afghanistan. Remember Afghanistan? That country where terrorists actually live and breed and seek to destroy us? Oh yeah...). My father served 20 years in the military. I couldn't be prouder of him for his service to our country.
This kind of action brings disgrace to the dedication and service of all those who have served the United States honorably. And even better, it gives the Arab world more to hate than "our freedom", which is NOT why we were attacked in the first place.
GARR. This blog ain't big enough to contain my fury.

Now the thing with the VLC is that I have seen that there is something called as the font Cache. I really do not know what it is. I have seen that a pop up from the VLC comes up and it says Please wait your font cache is rebuilt. This should take less than few minutes. I really do not know what is this Font Cache? I find it really irritating and I will be happy if someone can help me with disabling the same. Please help me guys and let me know soon. Also it will be nice if you can put some more light on the VLC FONT CACHE.

Cherries are one of the first fruits available in Idaho with harvest as early as June, and into July and August. Idaho grows mostly sweet varieties such as Bings and they are consumed almost as fast as they are put on the market. Idaho Bing cherries are large, dark, and firm with exceptional flavor. They are harvested by hand and delivered to the market at the peak of freshness. Idaho also produces lighter-skinned varieties such as Lambert, Rainier, and Royal Ann cherries.
Idaho's cherry season is short so enjoy this delicious fruit while you can! Find Idaho cherries at Farmers Markets, grocery stores, farm stands, and U-pick orchards.
Cherry Basics
What to Look For: Always look for shiny, plump cherries with fresh green stems and dark coloring for their variety.
How to Store: Keep cherries unwashed and stems attached, in a paper bag, loosely-covered container, or loosely closed plastic bag in the refrigerator until you're ready to use them.
Fun Facts:
- Idaho ranks 5th in the nation in sweet cherry production.
- Idaho cherries are of the "sweet cherry" family, which includes the dark Bing Cherry as well as lighter Lambert, Rainier and Royal Ann cherries.
- A mature cherry tree will produce around 7,000 cherries each year.
- Idaho cherries are an excellent source of Vitamin A, C and E. They also provide potassium, magnesium, iron and fiber.
Cherry Recipe
- Bing Cherry Ice Cream
- Cherry Bruschetta
- Chocolate Cherry Pie
- Gluten Free Cherry Cobbler
- Cherry Barley Salad

Gays, Lesbians & Society: Speaking of Assumptions
Hoyt, Robert G., Commonweal
The struggle over admitting self-acknowledged homosexuals into the armed services has something to do with the nature of the military but a lot more with the nature of homosexuality. It strikes me as a battle over assumptions: whether homosexuality is chosen or discovered; whether it can and should be "cured"; whether gays are predatory recruiters for their "lifestyle"; whether it's sound public policy to enact statutory protections of gay and lesbian rights in housing, employment, inheritance law, admission to the military, etc., and thereby to foster greater tolerance and, eventually, social acceptance of homosexuality; whether gays and lesbians can be good parents; whether the notion of same-sex marriage cheapens and undercuts or compliments and complements the male-female variety; whether the effect of the gay sensibility on politics, family life, theater, films, the arts in general is malevolent or positive, or both, or neither; whether, psychologically, homosexuality is an aberration, a basic flaw, or simply a difference; whether, morally and ethically, homosexual love-making--men lying with men, women with women--is perverse, repulsive, evil, or merely a sexual variant, in itself neither better nor worse than heterosexuality; and, finally, whether the belief that homosexuality is of its very nature a social disvalue, a psychological aberration, and a moral evil is rounded on sound, time-tested personal and social values or is rooted in inherited bias, personal ignorance, and/or homophobic fear.
I speak of "assumptions" in that 205-word sentence because, in my judgment, there is no evidence on either side of any of these issues so compelling that it will simply overwhelm the opposition, shaming them into silence. The experts, including ethicists, moral theologians, and biblical exegetes as well as psychiatrists, anthropologists, and sociologists, differ. Since we're all sexed, we all have a stake in the matter--and a limited perspective. The tactics of victimization and political correctness, used on behalf of homosexuals, can influence the judgments even of professionals. The depth of conviction among anti-gay advocates, and their sheer numbers, have considerable impact that is similarly unrelated to the force of their arguments. …

Unlimited corn bread keeps me occupied there and where else can I have a plate with blueberry pie and pizza for breakfast???
We went to Ruth Chris in Mexico cos it said USB there and it was delish, But but but and you're gonna kill me.... I hate paying for stuff if I know I can get it cheaper and just as good at Corral. The steak here is like shoe leather sometimes. Our rump steak is awful, always hit and miss as to if it's going to be tender or not and I don't like bashing it to make it tender as it seems to leave it tasteless. We stick to sirlion or fillet here but fillet is so expensive here.
The first time I had steak in America I was absolutely stunned.... it was the best steak I'd ever had in my life, you seriously don't know how lucky you are. Pity you can't bring it back to UK cos you have to declare it
At least you've had some decent steak! I can't compare the two (GC and RC's) but if you are happy with it, that's what matters.
we tried a Golden Corral in Brunswick Georgia for the first time when DS was training with the Feds. It was wonderful!! Sooo, I assumed in my ignorance that all chains are created equally, so to our joy on the way home we spotted one in Pennsylvania and eagerly stopped to enjoy our meal. SO NOT!! It was dirty, disgusting, awfulll!! We were horrified. Out we went and headed to another place, Blechh! lesson learned, they all are different but I imagine that the ones near Disney are kept up better.
I'm such a picky eater that I love buffets, as I know I will find something that I can enjoy, even if it's just a salad.
GC has some of the best bourbon chicken. Yes, there was this chinese place that I use to go to in Indiana that had the BEST, but GC is pretty close. I fill up on that as I can never find bourbon chicken.
We go earlyish as they are putting the trays out fresh and we love being able to get mash and veges and gravy. I guess it's something you have to try to know whether you like it enough to go back or not.
We ate breakfast at two different restaurants last year and were very happy with what we got, much better than Ponderosa. Claire had tea there one day aswell and was happy with her meal.
Well I'll give you that, Jodie! Golden Corral beats Ponderosa and Sizzler hands down!
just seems to be very few who dont like it then those 3 places are my idea of food h@ll but there are plenty who enjoy themOriginally Posted by Tink, post: 130813

Wisconsin men face fines for forcibly putting T-shirt on deer, posting footage to YouTube [VIDEO]
A group of Wisconsin men are in trouble for filming themselves playing dress-up with a deer.
Image by Tatiana Craine
Dudes in Wisconsin must be really, really bored.
SEE ALSO: Donna the Deer Lady seriously believes deer crossing signs are like crosswalks for deer [AUDIO]
A group of at least five men face $303 fines from the Wisconsin DNR after they posted footage to YouTube of themselves laughing and having a grand ol' time while forcibly putting a T-shirt on an Oak Creek deer.
The video, entitled "how to put a T-shirt on a fiesty [sic] deer," has since been removed from YouTube, but a TMJ 4 news report contains some clips from it:
According to a 620 WTMJ report, the deer emerged unscathed and has been spotted around Oak Creek with a small piece of the T-shirt still around its neck.
It's unclear why exactly the men face fines, but DNR warden Kaitlin Kernosky told TMJ 4 that "It's always tough to see someone act like that toward a wild animal."
"They have an instinct to get away. They're not used to being handled," she added.
One of the as-of-yet-unidentified men in the video issued a statement to WTMJ.
"We meant nothing by it," he said. "We didn't harm the animal. We apologize for hurting anybody's feelings. We did it just for fun."
Oak Creek Patch published a submitted photo of the deer taken near Lake Michigan after the video was shot. In the photo, the collar of the shirt can still be seen around the deer's neck:

Alleged drug smugglers caught on camera catapulting marijuana across the U.S. - Mexico border. National guard troops at an Arizona border patrol station caught on to the operation and alerted Mexican authorities. Agents South of the border moved in but the individuals operating the catapult fled. 45 pounds of pot were seized.
Part of a crime spree was caught on tape in Chicago. Police say a suspect tried to rob a subway sandwich shop. But the employee put up a fight, even picking up a knife at one point. The would-be robber finally gave up... But he wasn't finished. Once outside, police say he car-jacked a taxi and took off on a high-speed chase. Local news choppers followed the van as the driver dodged traffic and blew through red lights. After smashing into a school bus, he tries to run, but he didn't get far.
This guy is now in police custody. Washington D.C.'s Dupont Circle was the site of a huge snowball fight as six inches of snow blanketed the city Wednesday night. This was no impromptu fight. This was organized on facebook by the Washington D.C. snowball fight association.
Participants were told to bundle up and keep it clean.
That meant snowballs only, no ice.

The thought leadership factor requires belief
Do you believe your offering is leading the way for your customers? I've found it is easy to lose focus, and eventually loose heart.
Sometimes I've worked so hard on my offering that I've run out of energy to deliver it with a real sense of belief. One way to stay in that belief is to write out what it is that I do for my customers. Repeat to yourself daily, out loud. Get in contact with customers who have benefited from your service or product. Ask what they got out of it. Add those statements into your daily reminders of what good you do.
I've found by reminding myself of what good I do, and practising it daily, I can keep my mind in tune. Have you tried it?
The business owner has to believe in what is being offered. Then a customer will trust, and business will happen.

Re: Close old credit card and/or increase limit on new one?
Hi all - this might sound a little silly but it turns out I do have three revolving lines... I decided to look at my latest credit report today (after all this discussion) and I have a credit line I opened a few years ago strictly for medical use called "Care Credit". Not sure if you have heard of this, but I do have a $5K limit with only a few hundred dollars on it at the moment. It isn't a VISA, MC, AMEX or Disc, but does this still count toward my 3rd revolving line of credit? Thanks, Rafa.

Well... I actually did manage to get my grubby paws on a Magic Mouse today. My DW had to stop at the fabric store and there was a Best Buy right next door. So, I figured if the Apple store was sold out, perhaps Best Buy would have a few left. Lucky me. They had two. Now they've got one.
This thing is great! No cord of course. It's Bluetooth. Paired it with my MacBook Pro and it works great. It's so strange to scroll up and down web pages and document just by dragging my finger back and forth across the surface of the thing! And the really cool bit is that there's a bit of inertia built in. So, on a really long web page, I can kind of "flick" my finger across the surface of the mouse and the page scrolls quickly and then gradually coasts to a stop. Really neat functionality.
The other great bit is that the thing feels quite substantial. It's got enough weight to it so that if you pick it up, you'd think you could do some real damage if you threw it at something. Gives it a nice heft and tracks really well on whatever surface you're using it on.
All in all, so far I like this a LOT better than my old mouse. The scrolling takes some getting used to since there's no wheel or button. Just a smooth slick surface! But it doesn't take very long to get used to.
Chris, you're gonna love this thing!
Edit: forgot to mention, when you're browsing web pages, you can swipe two fingers across the mouse surface to either go back or forward in your browsing history. This thing just keeps getting better and better!
Tom (... still would love to have that 27" iMac)

'Valitar's' epic collapse
Real spectacle was off stage, where ambition clashed with ability
"If someone wants to throw a ton of money at you," he decided, "you don't say no."
Target: 'Cavalia'
To keep "Valitar" on schedule and on budget, Martonovich called in favors with performers, costume designers, horse owners — many veterans of "Cavalia," a show the Remleys continued to target. Both "Valitar" and "Cavalia" planned to play San Diego in November, but Team V persuaded the fairgrounds to book the new show instead of the seasoned "Cavalia," which is based in Quebec. ("We did this pro-America, 'you-should-go-with-us' thing," Martonovich said. "Obviously, that turned out bad for them.") When "Cavalia" opened in San Jose last summer, the Remleys dispatched their operations manager to the Bay Area to report on the latest acts.
"It was basically like a spy mission," Kimball Keller said.
To keep pace with "Cavalia," though, would require stables full of talent and cash. Outsiders guessed that Mark had enough of the latter to buy the former.
"He seemed like a guy with a lot of money," said Cheryl Erpelding, publisher of California Riding Magazine. "A wheeler-dealer who had these crazy ideas that he could pull off this show."
"He was someone who had a full wallet — who wanted everything," said hospitality manager Tabasa, another hire with "Cavalia" experience. "And the show did have the potential to be successful."
The Remleys, former associates said, hungered for a top-flight show. They spent roughly $3 million on the 45,000-square-foot tent, a towering landmark visible from Interstate 5. They budgeted $250,000 for horses and even more for a lavish "VIP Lounge."
But as horses and performers rehearsed in a dusty Otay Mesa field last summer, there were signs of financial distress.
One day, Keller found a "Valitar" horse writhing in pain from colic. He called in a vet, who warned the steed could die if it wasn't immediately transported to the emergency room — a journey that would cost at least $1,500.
Mark balked. Keller exploded.
"Are you kidding me?" he asked. "Here this guy has millions of dollars and he doesn't want to spend $1,500 to save a horse?"
Keller won that argument, but he and others continued to question the Remleys' financial priorities.
"Eventually," Tabasa said, "you could see that they were spending money carelessly."
Case in point: a midsummer shopping trip Tatyana and Keller took to Mary's Feed & Tack. "She bought halters and rakes and wheelbarrows — everything we didn't need, we already had this stuff," he said.
Another time, Keller noted that his contract included a car. Tatyana gave him her used truck, then used Mark's money to buy a new, fully-loaded GMC.
Weeks before the show opened, though, the Remleys' free-spending ways ended. So did their checks to vendors and employees.
"There was this constant frenzy," said Tiffani Baumgart, who had been hired to furnish the concessions tent and the VIP lounge. Tatyana, Baumgart noted, would set last-minute deadlines on her order — then add new items without allowing more time. "And then," Baumgart said, "they were stalling on their payments."
Keller's take: "He wanted a lobster show on a peanut butter budget. His eyes were bigger than his checkbook."
Stealing Zeus
Mark Remley is no Warren Buffett, but he is wealthy. When his family's Internet technology company was sold in 2002, he received $26 million. Last June, he reported $377,316 in his checking account, $7.6 million in securities, and $8.2 million worth of real estate, jewels, horses and other property.
Still, was he really rich enough to mount a $10 million show?
Last spring, after Mark and Tatyana separated, he reported monthly income of $28,600. That wasn't much more than his monthly expenses: nearly $26,000, including $7,800 in child support for four children he had before marrying Tatyana.

Article: Congenital long QT syndrome caused by the F275S KCNQ1 mutation: Mechanism of impaired channel function[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Congenital long QT syndrome is characterized by a prolongation of ventricular repolarization and recurrent episodes of life-threatening ventricular tachyarrhythmias, often leading to sudden death. We previously identified a missense mutation F275S located within the S5 transmembrane domain of the KCNQ1 ion channel in a Chinese family with long QT syndrome. We used oocyte expression of the KCNQ1 polypeptide to study the effects of the F275S mutation on channel properties. Expression of the F275 mutant, or co-expression with the wild-type S275 polypeptide, significantly decreased channel current amplitudes. Moreover, the F275S substitution decreased the rates of channel activation and deactivation. In transfected HEK293 cells fluorescence microscopy revealed that the F275S mutation perturbed the subcelluar localization of the ion channel. These results indicate that the F275S KCNQ1 mutation leads to impaired polypeptide trafficking that in turn leads to reduction of channel ion currents and altered gating kinetics.
- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: To investigate the molecular pathology in families with long QT syndrome (LQTS) including Jervell-Longe-Nielsen syndrome (JLNS) and Romano-ward syndrome (RWS) and Brugada syndrome (BS) in Chinese population. Polymerase chain reaction and DNA sequencing were used to screen for KCNQ1, KCNH2, KCNE1, and SCN5A mutation. We identified a novel mutation N1774S in the SCN5A gene of the BS family, a novel mutation G314S in a RWS family which had also been found in Europe, North America, and Japan, and a single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) G643S in the KCNQ1 of the JLNS family. In this JLNS family, another heterozygous novel mutation in exon 2a was found in KCNQ1 of the patients. New mutations were found in our experiment, which expand the spectrum of KCNQ1 and SCN5A mutations that cause LQTS and BS.
- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: To identify the mutation of a Chinese family with inherited long QT syndrome(LQTS). The disease-causing gene was tentatively determined in light of the clinical manifestations and electrophysiological properties, and then polymerase chain reaction and DNA sequencing were used for screening and identifying mutation. A missense mutation G940A(G314S) in the KCNQ1 gene was identified, which was the 'hot spot' of long QT syndrome mutation. The mutation that is involved with long QT syndrome in Chinese patients is the same as that in the European, American and Japanese patients.
- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: To study PCR site-directed mutagenesis of long QT syndrome KCNQ1 gene in vitro. The site-directed mutagenesis of LQTS gene KCNQ1 was made by PCR. Two sets of primers were designed according to the sequence of KCNQ1 cDNA, and mismatch was introduced into primers. Mutagenesis was performed in a three-step PCR. The amplified fragments from the third PCR which contained the mutation site were subcloned into the T-vecor PCR2.1. Then the fragments containing the mutation site was obtained from PCR2.1 with restriction enzyme digestion and was inserted into the same restriction site of pIRES2-EGFP-KCNQ1. With Effectene Transfection Reagent, pIRES(2)-EGFP-KCNQ1 was transfected into HEK293 cell. The sequencing analysis showed that the mutation site was correct. Mutation from T to C in 934 site of KCNQ1 cDNA was found. Under the fluorescence microscope, the green fluorescence was spread in the transfected HEK293 cell, meaning the pIRES(2)-EGFP-KCNQ1 containing the mutation site was expressed correctly.

I'm a newbie into MVC and I am like only on chapter 7 in ASP.NET MVC Unleashed so be easy with m
how do I tell Create Button to send to an Action named Create and to Edit to an Action named Edit on the same form?I guess it is possible on ASP.NET MVC if it is possible on ASP.NET Webforms
I am desiging a master and details page from a search page..user can search for something and I need to display the result in jqgrid if the result has more than 1 row or record.. if the result is just one record then i have to directly send then to details page by skiping grid page... I do have an action method for results page and one more action method for Jqgrid data..i am trying to check the row count for the database result and trying to redirect to details action results..but its not working at all..and showing an empty jqgrid..
My httppost action doesnt seem to have received my model. The code is below;
i put a breakpoint on the line; return RedirectToAction("Error", "Dashboard"); and i found that appQualif carried no values whatsoever from the form i submitted..
I am using an ebay web service that is returning the auction instances based on user selection from a checklistbox. I would like the user to be able to click on each auction instance separately and be taken to that exact url. So basically, I need to know how to create multiple hyperlinks on the fly based on the amount of items the user selected. It would ideally look something like this....
Auction 1 LINK HERE
Auction 2 LINK HERE
I am able to extract the url location from each auction from the web service, I just need to create many links on the fly.

How can I make an AJAX call to retrieve the URL of controller's action method?View 2 Replies
i am trying to assign an id from the url into a column in my database, i have the following code in the post action of my controller
I would like to pass the id from for example the following url into the CollabId variable in the controller method, can anyone offer any advice on how to do this.
I've been using the new ASP.Net MVC 3 RemoteAttribute to send a remote call to an action method that had a single parameter. Now I want to pass in a second parameter using the AdditionalFields property:
[Remote("IsEmailAvailable", "Users", AdditionalFields = "InitialEmail")]
Where IntialEmail is a hidden field in the view. The action looks like so:
public JsonResult IsEmailAvailable(string email,string InitialEmail){//etc.}
When the view is rendered, the hidden field is populated, but when the Action method is triggered remotely, the value is an empty string.
I've seen elsewhere case sensitivity may be an issue, so I've ensured the Action method has the same case for both parameters.
I have 2 views for a input operation in my application.
The first view (lets call it view1) submits a form. Based on the form some operations on database is done and second view(View2) is returned with some other data from the database as a model.
Now, since I return a new view and not a action redirect the url is still http://url/View1 but everything works as it is supposed to.
When I submit the form in View2 it calls the View1 action method, not the View2 action method. Probably because the url is still View1.
I have an action method that accepts an object as it's first parameter. One of the properties of the object is called "InMenu".
The form being submitted contains a checkbox called "InMenu" (Created with the Html.CheckBox helper method). Regardless of what I choose in the checkbox I always get false as the value. If I add a "bool inMenu" parameter to my action method i get an error complaining that "inmenu" is null in the form collection (it's not - it's value is 'true, false'). If i make it 'bool? inMenu' it's always null...
In short checkboxes completely fail in MVC despite me following the most basic of samples. The value in the form collection is just being ignored. :|
Checkbox code:
public ActionResult RenderMyThing(IList<String> strings)
return View("RenderMyView");
How do I pass in strings?
routes.MapRoute("MyRoute", "RenderMyThing.aspx", new { controller = "My", action = "RenderMyThing" });
Is there a way I could pass in strings here?
Secondly, how does ASP.NET MVC know that action is my action, and controller is my controller. Like I saw this in samples, and it does work, but isn't it just an anonymous object with no type?
I'm trying to use the jQuery.post() function to post an object to an action method, but for some reason the nested objects aren't initialised properly when they're received by the action method.
Here's my javascript code:
And my action method:
company.Id has a value of 10, but company.User.Id is 0. what I'm doing wrong? I've not named any properties incorrectly, by the way.
Is any method auto calling before each action in Controller in ASP.NET MVC ?View 8 Replies
I have an ActionResult that accepts POST, however is there a work around for me to redirect from a controller to another controller containing this POST method/action?View 3 Replies
I have a controller called Person and it has a post method called NameSearch.
This method returns RedirectToAction("Index"), or View("SearchResults"), or View("Details"). The url i get for all 3 possibilities are [URL] How would i change this to rewrite the urls to [URL], [URL] for View("SearchResults"), and [URL].
I'm sure something like this worked before for taking a type and pass it to another action method (I cannot / never use TempData)
to have two post forms in a single MVC view, both validating an anti forgery token??? For some reason, the post is being ignored and a get is being called.View 4 Replies
How can I call a HTML helper method within an Action? Html.DropDownList for exampleView 4 Replies
When defining an action method in control, there is possible two signature:
public ActionResult MyAction(){ ...}
public ViewResult MyAction(){...}
What's the difference between ActionResult and ViewResult for action method?
how to call a ASP.NET MVC controller action from a javascript function in related view.
Particularly I am trying do do this from a recursive timer function like this:
script type="text/javascript">
function ShowTime() {
var dt = new Date();
document.getElementById("<%= TextBox1.ClientID %>").value = dt.toLocaleTimeString();
---> // the controller action call: "/Controller/ShowImage"
window.setTimeout("ShowTime()", 1000);
<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
<script type="text/javascript">
// a startup script to put everything in motion
window.setTimeout("ShowTime()", 1000);
The action result is an image (JPEG serialized array) for display.
i just want to be able to call a javascritp subroutine on the client, after the server has done its thing (when an action completes or control goes to the view, i'd dont mind calling the js from the view either).
for some reason, even vs2010 doesn't let me put breakpoints in <% ... %> tagged areas between <script...> and </script> tagged areas. i for this reason can't figure out whats going on and how it's running things. here is what i've put in my view, and the javascritp should run, but it doesn't....
im just trying to call "RunOnceRoutines;" but it's not getting called!
the 2 questions: how on earth do we call javascript methods from server, and where is all this lovely javascript debugging i've heard about since vs2008? no where to be found!
In one view (view1) there is a text box and a button beside it. i click on that button, i am popping another view (Create view) as a seperate window. in create view i am entering some values and creating a record in db. out of these values one value i have to send back to "View1". how can i send this value? i am opening view2 from view1 like
<input type="button" value="Get ID"
onclick="window.open('<%=Url.Action("Create","Controller1") %>',
View2 contains some fields like Name,Email etc... and I click "Create" to call HTTPPOST. there i add the values to db including a generated guid. i want to send this ID to view1.

Picked up this 1982 Schwinn World from my local community bike center for $20 with the intention of doing a super-cheap fixed-gear conversion.
Bought some cheap new parts online, found the other parts at the bike center. I walked into the bike center this morning with the frame, wheelset and backpack full of parts, then put the entire bike together in 2 hours exactly. Never worked on a bike before in my life besides learning how to true a wheel a month ago and taking the parts off the frame that came with it.
As of now she sits at 24 pounds of almost finished fixed-gear goodness. It came out much better than I expected.
Soon to come are a front brake, bar tape, 18T freewheel, clips, and lots of enjoyment. Suggestions, trolling and comments are welcome.
Lower the stem, that is dangerously high.
Saddle's crooked.
Good to know.
Cool, doing your own conversions is rewarding. :thumb: Some unsolicited advice: if you're going to run brakeless, you should have some kind of foot-retention on the pedals, and some bar tape or grips wouldn't be a bad idea.
In the originaly post that tape and foot retention is on it's way.
D'oh. Good deal.
After you've done your first downhill emergency stop without brakes, will you be able to get the brown stain off that yellow saddle? :D
Well done mate :thumb: Working on bikes is not only satisfying, it's surprisingly straightforward ... and there's not much you can stuff up that your lbs can't unstuff. :innocent:l
Be warned, you have stepped onto a steep and slippery slope. :roflmao2:
just the one in the back qualifies
Sorry for the poor quality iPhone photo. I'm new here, but I've been hanging around and enjoying everyone's bikes.
Here's my recent build. Not sure about the frame on this one, all I know is that it's stamped "Made in Britain" under the bottom bracket. The old paint job was pretty mucked up, so I had it powder coated.
edit: So I guess I'm having trouble posting pictures...Newbie status...meh
Old Ross frame converted to single speed.
sorry for the shiit photo, put on some rb-021's and they feel amazing!
Been a few days since I finished building this up and I'm in love.
sorry its a ****ty photo :-(
69 Grand Prix handbuilt in Holland by Carlton so I've been told and has decals, derailleurs were trashed and wheelset was rusrty
Attachment 292631
Wrights Saddle, generic seat post, jd quill stem, tsunami bullhorns, weinmann dp18 16t, dura ace front wheel, mks clips/pedals. Replacement crank and spindle in the works, but she does ride smooth.
Attachment 292630
Three Arm Crankset!
I really like what you got goin' on right here. Gimmie a brake (or two and a freewheel (ducks)) and some different pedals and I'd have a real nice time riding that bike.
At least that chainring didn't give you any problems.^^

I'm porting a video player from PyTk to wxWidgets.
I have a separate worker thread that pushes events to the main app via
wx.PostEvent every 30ms (based on these instructions: http://wiki.wxpython.org/Non-Blocking%20Gui). The main app is supposed to read a new frame from the video file and display it. The event gets received and handled properly (confirmed via debug statements), but the actual image on the screen doesn't update. The GUI only updates after the worker thread terminates -- so I only get to see the last frame.
My frame reading and display code works correctly -- I've tested it using a slider. I can't work out the reason why the GUI isn't updating.
In PyTk, there is a method called update_idletasks that forces a widget repaint. I have a feeling that I need to do something similar in wxWidgets -- is this the case? If yes, then what is the wxWidgets alternative to update_idletasks?

If you could possibly send the pictures and information that you had spoken to me about would be great!! I appreciate it very much!!!!!
Thank you very much!!
Have a wonderful weekend!!
Glenda Nelson
Hi Nicole,
My children definitely keep me busy, there is no question there!! Ha! I love all of them and do anything for any of them! I adopted one of my grandsons in 2007, he is 9 years old now, I've had him since his birth in 2002. My first husband passed away in 2005 from conjestive heart failure. I met the most wonderful man 2 years ago and married him 6 months after I met him!! Quick huh!! He loves all of my children and myself. Between the both of us we have 17 children, 23 grandchildren and 4 great-grandchildren. What a family! There is never a dull moment around here. They live all over the country now though. We have 3 children living close by us now. Anyway, I love genealogy too!! I have always loved learning about how people use to live and do things, especially our own family. I have found out some pretty interesting information. When Clifford's sister, Bernice, was very young, they had a very big scare. From what I am told back then, the indians were not so friendly and Bernice and her mom were home alone. She saw indians coming toward their house and panicked. Her mom took her out to the wooded area behind their house and hid while the indians were going through their house and destroying and stealing things from them. If they were in the house at the time the indians would have killed them. They stayed in the wooded area until the dad got home. They were too afraid to go back into the house alone! I don't blame them at all! Our history is very important to me! It is very interesting to learn what all they did and how they lived back then.
Who are the parents of George House? Is that information that he wrote about something that I could possibly pull up on the computer and read about? I would love to see alot of what he wrote about!! That would really be interesting! Are you directlly related to the Beebe family or the House family? I am directly related to the House family.
I am looking for my biological father! I don't know if his name would even come up anywhere as we are looking through information on our ancestors. From what I am told his name is "Glen or Glenn Lee Young". I know nothing more about him other than that. That information would have to be alot more recent, like between the 1950's and now. I have been looking for information on him for over 20 years now and can't find anything. I am just checking with everyone to see if the name sounds familiar at all. Maybe that sounds kinda crazy but I figure the worst that can happen is that no one knows anything about him. All it will take is hopefully just one person to say, "Oh yeah, I remember the name". Anyway, so much for him for now.
I love your picture on your my heritage page!! The baby is soooo sweet!! Just precious!! Is that one of your children or a grandchild?
Anyway, hope to hear from you soon,
Thank You,
It's me again, Glenda. I was looking and I have about 50 pages or so about the Beebe family. It is mixed with the Beebe's and the House family. Mainly the Beebe family. I will send these to you but it will take a little time to do this. My computer will only let me send a few pages at a time. I will get all of them to you eventually. It is pretty interesting! I guess someone from our family traveled all over and got information from everywhere he went about the families and put it all together in the booklet he wrote. I am going to be pretty good with computers after this I have a feeling, with sending out pictures and things anyway!! Lol. Thank you again, and have a wonderful day today!!

Missouri-based 'Rich Hill' documentary lands Sundance grand jury prize
Located roughly 75 miles south of Kansas City, a farming Missouri city of 1,400 has struggled to flower given a decrease of a once-booming hint industry.
To a span of Los Angeles-based filmmakers, however, Rich Hill represented a ideal environment to try an component of America.
"We wanted to know what was going on in this place," pronounced Tracy Droz Tragos, who along with cousin Andrew Droz Palermo destined and constructed a documentary patrician "Rich Hill." "Understand a struggles that we saw, and a people who were clearly struggling."
And progressing this week, their query paid dividends.
"Rich Hill," that follows a lives of 3 boys as they navigate life in a tiny town, was named leader of a Sundance Film Festival's distinguished U.S. grand jury esteem for a documentary. The cousins were respected final Saturday in Park City, Utah, a festival's longtime site.
Though conjunction of a filmmakers is from Rich Hill, both have ties.
Droz Palermo was innate in Columbia, Mo., and lifted in Jefferson City, and Droz Tragos spent a apportionment of her girl in Columbia. Both, too, had relatives who grew adult in Rich Hill — including Droz Tragos' father, who was a theme in her 2003 film "Be Good, Smile Pretty." That film is about her romantic hunt for her father, killed when his quick vessel was broken in a Mekong Delta. She was usually 3 months aged during a time.
Both also hexed a slow oddity about a bland lives of a mostly unexamined demographic.
Much like a 2010 film "Winter's Bone," that was set in a Ozarks and won a Sundance grand jury esteem for thespian film before going on to accept 4 Oscar nominations, "Rich Hill" focuses on farming Missouri life.
"Missouri is plentiful with life, yet there's also a lot of decay," pronounced Droz Palermo. "Finally, we consider there's been some seductiveness in a emanate of poverty, and I'm happy some of these marginalized people are being talked about."
The span began work on a film in 2011, after spending some time in a city and assembly one of a boys who would finish adult being a executive character. During monthly visits to Rich Hill, that lasted as prolonged as a week, Droz Tragos and Droz Palermo set out to constraint a universe overlooked.
The families of a boys valid intensely cooperative, pronounced Droz Tragos, and yet a film did eventually hint a tiny bit of debate — a petition on a website change.org claimed a film negatively portrayed a city — a response has been roughly zodiacally positive.
"They couldn't have been some-more certain and vehement about it," Droz Tragos pronounced of a film's subjects and their families, who were in assemblage during Sundance.
What's subsequent for a film is unclear.
Predicting a singular melodramatic release, a cousins are selling a film to a radio broadcaster. They're anticipating to shade a film during a series of arriving festivals — including a True/False Film Fest, that runs Feb. 27 by Mar 2 in Columbia — and have broached a thought of teaming adult again in a future.
"Independent filmmaking is unequivocally tough, and there's lots of lean, meant times," pronounced Droz Tragos. "The whole time is a gaunt time. It's unequivocally tough to make films. (But) when we had a tie with these families, it became something that both Andrew and we were committed to, no matter what."
The filmmakers are behind in Los Angeles now, and notwithstanding their new success on one of film's many distinguished stages, their lifestyles, Droz Palermo forked out, haven't altered too dramatically as a result.
As Droz Palermo puts it, "Yesterday, we attempted to go see 'The Wolf of Wall Street,' and we had all 3 of my credit and withdraw cards declined."

What Makes Someone Good in Bed?
I'm confused as to how a girl can be "good" in bed in a heterosexual relationship? What does it mean to be good at sex?
Am I Stupid for Loving a Guy Who Only Wants Sex?
So there is this guy that I really really like. I don't know how to get to him without having to put myself out there. He says he cares but then when we are with our friends he won't even talk to me. When we are alone he is always by me but wants to do anything other than talk, it seems like he only wants sex. We messed around once but I don't know what to do now. Am I stupid for falling in love with him and pretty much doing anything so that he will stay closer to me?
Untangling a Gender, Attraction and Relationships Tangle
Can you be attracted to one gender sexually and the other mentally? How can that work with having a relationship?
He wants to take his anger out on my body: that's not okay, right?
My ex-boyfriend and I are working through a very hard situation where in his perspective I cheated on him so I'm trying to fix things and gain his trust again. There has been a lot of pain and distrust between us lately but we are finally getting to a healthier, better place. However, he said something that really disturbed me the other day and I need someone else's perspective. He said he wanted to take his frustration and anger out on me sexually. I was appalled because sex is making love and that's the way I like it. When I protested and told him how absurd I thought it was he made me feel ridiculous and went on about how it was a creative solution and that I have to let him get through this his way by doing this to me. Is this a muffed up situation or am I overreacting?
How can I keep from getting upset when he ignores my no?
I'm 15 and my bf told me about a week ago that he thought I should be loosing my virginity and a few days ago I did. I was ok with this and only said once that if it was ok with him I'd like to stop (the way he was looking at me was creeping me out), but it wasn't ok with him so he kept going. Afterwards I really creeped out and for some reason I started crying all over the place, which I can't explain. He doesn't get this either and got really upset about it. I wanna make things back up with him so I've said that we can try again and that I wont react so badly. Is there anyway I can calm down enough so that I don't upset him again by freakin out? Hope you can help xxx
What if I never want or feel ready for sex?
Okay, well here is the thing: I'm a girl and I'm so afraid to be in a relationship for too long, because I think that I'm going to have to have sex. I know that my boyfriend right now wants it, but I really don't. He says he'll wait for me, but I'm still scared. I don't think that I will ever be ready to do it, and so I'm worried. What if I am NEVER ready?!
Getting Past the Shoulda, Woulda, Coulda.
My boyfriend (20) and I (19) have been together for three years. We really do love each other and so we decided to have sex about two years into our relationship. First things were great, but a few months after we had been having sex regularly he changed his mind. He said he liked me better when I was innocent and that he hated what we did. He stopped all those cute romantic things like telling me I was pretty and writing me love notes. No matter how hard I try, I can't get him interested in me again. He used to tell me he was going to marry me and we always talked about the future and everything but now he just says he doesn't know what the future will be. Obviously, had I thought this would happen we wouldn't have had sex in the first place but since I'm stupid... we did. What do I do? To call it quits after three years is just too much for me to handle... but I can't live like this anymore. HELP!
How can I talk about sex without pressuring her?
I'm 17. I love my girlfriend. Really. Real love. Love as in "I want to marry you. I want to respect you. I want to commit my life to you." We brought up the topic of sex a few months ago, but it didn't go any farther than "How do you feel about it?" From that little talk we concluded that it was something we both wanted to do.
That was nearly three months ago and I want to talk about it. Nothing dirty or anything, I just want to know how important (or how un-important) it is to her. I want to know that she wants to have sex with me because she loves me, not because she feels she has to. The problem is...I don't know what to say or what to do to bring it up to her. I fear she might think that I'm trying to tell her that I am waiting and begging for sex, which I am not. I'll wait for her forever. Any advice?
Under Pressure!
I'm 16 years old. The blade has been calling my name for 5 years now. It scared my parents to where they placed me in a mental facility 4 years back. It was the hardest time of my life. I was in 6th grade at the time. I was scared I wanted to end it all. Now I love my life honestly I have no reason for the blade anymore. My older brother has set an amazing path for me. Not doing any drugs, does great in school, has a great girlfriend. He's a perfect guy and the best older brother...I feel like I've let him down. This isn't just a habit, it's an addiction. Just the feeling of holding my razor g
ives me the feeling that the pains almost gone. I have a problem and I feel like I need help from a professional. Like I said...That period of time was the hardest in my life and I don't want my parents to go back to thinking I'm still depressed and suicidal, which I'm not. The main reason I think I do this is because of all the pressure I feel. It builds up inside me. My dad constantly makes me feel like I can't do anything right, I'm a star athlete for my high school crosscounty, varsity girls basketball team, and track causing me to feel like I have to win. People say it's easy not to cheat on your boyfriend/girlfriend. That's true if no one wants to have sex with you. I love my boyfriend we've been together since I was 12 and its a constant battle not to cheat on him. My parents are homophobic which is sad because I'm bisexual and they don't know because the fear kills my inside to tell them. I've never had a girlfriend but I've known I was bisexual since I was in elementary school. All of this is unbearable for me to take sometimes...and I give in and let the razor bite through my skin. Is there anything I can do to help with my cutting relapse without having to make my parents go through that again?

OSU football: OU's loss to Texas helps put Cowboys back in Big 12 race
STILLWATER — A little more than a week ago, Oklahoma State appeared to have fallen to pretender status in the Big 12 after following a shocking loss at West Virginia with what looked like a lackluster comeback win at home against Kansas State.
Then Saturday happened.
Texas, which had been left for dead, smacked previously unbeaten Oklahoma. That same K-State squad that came to Stillwater hung with Baylor and its powerful offense until the final minutes. TCU and Texas Tech struggled with Kansas and Iowa State, respectively. All while OSU players, coaches and fans just sat back and watched during a bye week.
Suddenly, without even playing a game, the Cowboys sure look to be back in the conference title conversation.
"If anybody watches the games, you can just tell the Big 12 is up for grabs for anyone who wants it," Cowboy offensive lineman Parker Graham said. "So we're definitely going to try to be that team that goes out there and takes it."
It's another commentary on the overall state of the league, as the Big 12 is not a serious player in the national title picture. Yet it's making for an intriguing conference title race, which was expected when six teams earned at least one first-place vote in the preseason media poll.
"I think it's the same way if we had looked at it in August, you look at it and say it's a wide-open race," Baylor coach Art Briles said on Monday's Big 12 coaches teleconference. "Nothing has changed as we're into October. I don't think it's a surprise to anybody."
A backloaded November schedule — as well as some potential matchups — could play in OSU's favor.
*A quirk from when TCU took over Texas A&M's schedule forces the Horned Frogs to come to Stillwater for a second consecutive year.
*Texas' defense has been shredded by mobile quarterbacks, allowing an average of 104 rushing yards per game to the opposing quarterback before Saturday's win over the Sooners. OU surprisingly didn't attack this apparent weakness with Blake Bell, but OSU almost surely will with J.W. Walsh.
*Baylor's win at K-State was just its second conference road victory in its last 10 tries. And the Bears haven't won in Stillwater since 1939.
*OU's defense that looked much-improved has suddenly lost two key starters in tackle Jordan Phillips and linebacker Corey Nelson.
*Kansas is still on the schedule.
*Road games against Iowa State and Lubbock also remain. The trip to Texas Tech, so far the league's biggest surprise, is clearly the more daunting of the two.
The Big 12's trio of unbeatens — Texas, Baylor and Texas Tech — naturally have the upper hand in the championship race right now. And OSU clearly still has issues, most notably on offense.
But the two teams with one loss — OSU and OU — are still very much alive in what has so far been a predictably unpredictable Big 12 season.
And it's only just beginning.
"You're gonna continue to see it from this point on," Cowboy coach Mike Gundy said. "I don't think you're gonna see very many years where there's a team or teams that just dominate this league."
