TC TO JOHN A. CARLYLE ; 8 July 1852; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18520708-TC-JAC-01; CL 27: 158-160
Chelsea, 8 july, 1852—
My dear Brother,
We are in a furious uproar here, nothing but bricklayers, dust and tumult over all the house; a "thorough repair" going actually on! I am banished up to my little dressing-closet here, behind the bedroom; here stands my desk, with a few books; the rest are all now mere stacks of books, or pinned in their shelves with curtains, to keep off the unspeakable dust: it is truly a hot case we are in. For, besides there has come a blazing heat (physically speaking too) within these four days, very horrible for human creatures among bricks; and if thunder and rain don't come soon, it will be bad times with us, I perceive. Meanwhile it is not quite so unendurable as I expected; I have off all the carpets here; I keep a wateringpot beside me, and fearlessly moisten both floors and walls; so that with windows down, and plenty of wind blowing, and almost no clothes at all, I contrive to get along. Want of sleep is the worst; but it raises us at a far thriftier hour, and makes a nice long day, for one thing,—so is not without its advantages too.
The chief "repairs" contemplated are an enlargement of the library,—conversion of the library into a kind of Drawingroom, according to the modern ideas. They are taking back the fireplace (two feet of that great tower of brickwork are gone out of the way); new proper windows with a great increase of light; lastly three feet additional width to be taken off Jane's bedroom,—Jane will shift to the top front room, which used to be yours, which, with this of mine, she has undertaken to make "very handsome." We are also to get water into the house &c &c. There will remain always behind the drawingroom, a guest's bedroom, tho' contracted in size,—where we hope to see you one day, our first guest in it if we are in luck!— I sincerely hope this may be the last job of the kind I may ever be concerned in. But after mature survey of our affairs, there did not seem to be any practicable shift so good as that of settling ourselves where we are: ah, me! And so we are going at this enterprise with due energy, so far as this will serve us. A man, I know, is independent of his lodging; but it grieves me much to think I have no prospect now, or at least less than ever, of getting back to live among quiet fields: I must take my lodging here, and see what fraction of work I can still wring out of my existence; there is nothing else in it that is, or indeed was, or is ever like to be, worth a stiver to me. We have got a "Lease of 31 years," and fair basis for changing the house into our own image as nearly as it will come: so En avant! The place too is very cheap;1 and on the present terms (whatever become of us) an outlay of £200 or £250 is considered a perfectly safe investment. The man (a very good kind of man, Helps's and Chorley's) undertakes to have done in about six weeks—(Hoohoo! my time is totally up, dear Brother; here has Jane come in with the alarm; and I must put you off till night! Adieu)—
Same Evg, 7 p.m.— We went to Twistleton's by appointt, to see some Puritan Portraits; especially two portraits, one of Oliver by Walker (genuine, but of no great worth), another, or rather 3 others at difft ages of Old Subtlety, Lord Say and Sele, ancestor of the said Twistleton.2 Just as we were going off (when Jane came with her "alarm") a bearded child of Abraham, Neuberg's Brother, straight from Bonn, came in,—very much at the wrong time;—then farther there was a mistake in the Omnibuses &c: in short our expedition had its difficulties; but it went off very well; and here am I again writing to you, while the masons are still raging, and tea has not yet come.— Twistleton, by the way, has just returned from a third voyage to America, and this time, has brought a little Wife with him, whom he went for about the beginning of May! She is a black-eyed lively little creature, with abundant spirit, clever and rather eager to shew that she is; has money, I believe, as Tn has; was called Dwight, and belonged to the haute volée [high rank] (bless the mark!) of that Boston Community.3 He is now in his Brother's house,—the Ld Say and Seele that now is,4—and the Pictures &c are only "his" for ten days longer. A very good man of his kind; and abundantly happy his little Dame and he appear: they are for Italy in winter. Good luck to them,—eheu!
The Quality are all gone with the Parlt; gone light5 a flight of partridges, all at once. Our western streets are much clearer than they were a week ago. Of the Election I take no notice whatever: some say Wm Coningham has a kind of chance for Westminster (not at all likely); we even understand that Anthony Sterling is standing for some borough (Cornish, I rather think),—driven to it, he professes, by sheer want of business in the world!6— — The other night a Package of Books from Neuberg arrived; brot from Aachen by Bunsen's Courier, gratis, long life to him. I never saw such cheap Books as those old German ones when there is no carriage to pay.
How is my Mother; I fear this heat will be hard on her too: perhaps better take up her carpet, and use a wateringpan? It really does a great deal of good in that case. Tell her I got her Review hustled aside somehow; but will send it along with this. Alas, I wish I had anything to send that could do one so dear to me any good! I send my wishes and love to her all days of the year; but this is all I have to send! Here are two German woodcuts, that came in the Neuberg packet as waste,—if you like to spend a lick of water upon them, they would cover two knots in the wood of the bed!—
The iron pen is not a good article: I am terribly off for pens! Adieu dear Brother; there is tea. I will write soon again. My blessings with you all. T. C.
Thursday morning. Another blazing day—with the masons all humming. But I have slept much better, and shall do well enough. I have wrapt up the Fraser &c, which will come along with this. Basta [Enough].

Candidates are selected discreetly by participating schools and organizations, including the Girl Scouts and military-family support groups. The 20 girls, who enter the program as sophomores or juniors, are usually off-limits to the press, their special status not broadcast at the gala events they attend as VIP guests of the East Wing. To the public eye, mentoring is just one of the three issues Obama has built her platform on since her husband's election, along with supporting military families and crusading against childhood obesity. But this cause truly belongs to Michelle and always has.
"It's very personal," she says. "I mean, growing up the way that I did—kid from the South Side, going to public schools—the more my career developed, I realized how much I didn't see, how little exposure I had to opportunities." Neither Fraser nor Marian Robinson went to college, and an education was always the brass ring they urged daughter Michelle and her older brother, Craig, to grab. Michelle rode city buses for three hours a day to attend the distant magnet high school she tested into, and she became class treasurer. But no one saw Ivy League material in the hardworking Robinson girl until she resolved to follow Craig to Princeton after he won a basketball scholarship. "When he got in, I thought, Well, shoot, I know I'm smarter than he is," she says with a laugh. "So if he can go to Princeton, I'll just apply." It became the turning point of her life.
"There were many people who told me, 'Well, Princeton might be too hard for you,' " she says. Obama had been an A student, but those grades were from a public high school, not an elite prep school, and her test scores were good but not stellar. "So I had doubts in the way that I think many of these kids that we mentor have doubts . . . It doesn't matter what your grades are—if there's a message in your head that makes you think you can't quite do something, you can feed into that." But she pushed herself and learned that, yes, she "could actually compete." And succeed.
"I sort of thought, What's the mystery here? What is it about this place that makes some people—even myself—think that some people should have access to it and others shouldn't? And that's where I discovered that there is no mystery to this stuff. It is hard work. It's access; it's being able to envision it."
It's also knowing how to ask for help when you need it. Obama cites a senior thesis adviser at Princeton—"one of the tougher professors in my department"—who forced her to "really up my game in so many ways." Earlier on, there was the student-program director who invited her home for meals, took her on her first trip to New York City and sparked an interest in community service. "She stood out for me, not just because she was African American but [because] she was a professional," says Obama, who prefers not to make her mentors' names public. "She was also a single mom. And she was a very passionate person who was committed to working in the community. She encouraged me to start a day-care program for some of the faculty members' and staff members' children. And I would have never done that without her encouragement."
In addition, she says, her mentor's home was "really a respite for me. When you're in college, it's nice to know somebody who lives in a regular apartment that has a refrigerator and a level of normalcy. She offered a place of peace and calm."
What Obama doesn't mention in these Princeton stories is how separate and apart she was, as a working-class black student in a privileged, overwhelmingly white environment. As reported by Geraldine Brooks in a 2008 Moreprofile, the parents of Obama's first roommate protested to the administration that their daughter had been assigned to share quarters with an African American. And the exclusive eating clubs that dominated campus social life were not welcoming to blacks.

COACH Mitch GaspardOpening statement:"With this being our third Saturday (at home) in a row with a walk-off homer, something I don't think I've seen in 24 years of coaching, this is certainly a win we'll take. As far as the game went, I thought Taylor Guilbeau gave us his best start of the year through his six innings. We kind of ran into a little trouble there in the seventh inning, we threw a lot of pitches, but we were able to minimize the damage. The walks bit us again in the back end of the game; we walked too many guys and gave up the lead. I thought that Pilkington was serviceable in the back end of the game; he did a good job in the eighth and kept the game close in the ninth. That really set the stage for another good job by our offense in the ninth inning, when our guys just continued to battle. It took a lot of quality at-bats to get Austen Smith to that situation where he could get his home run."
On Austen's home run in the ninth: "It was good for Austen, and certainly good for our team. He certainly has grown, there's no question about it. He swung the bat early, and he kind of went with it. It was obviously the right call to put him in today. It's a really big hit for him, and hopefully this will get him going in the right direction just like Kenny Robert's big hit did for Kenny. Those two guys are players that can be an offensive presence for us, though we haven't gotten a whole lot from them yet. But in the 30-something games that those guys have shown up in they have shown us that they are capable of becoming part of our offense."
On the fighting spirit of the Alabama Baseball team:"I'm proud of this team, especially after everything we've been through this year, all the struggles we've faced. They have continued to play hard, even at times where it's been ugly out there on the field. The team certainly has some character to it. You never really know what's going to happen. You keep going through the baseball season, and you can get hot and you can wheel off a lot of games. I thought that our last two games were about as clean as we've played. We've still got a couple bumps to work out, but we have certainly played the game with a lot more ease over the last couple of days."
#18, Austen Smith, INFOn how big it would be to win the final game of the series against Vanderbilt:"It would be huge to get a sweep right here. It would help us make up for our loss to them last year, and it would help keep us in contention for the SEC tournament."
On how good it feels to hit a home run, especially at this point in the season:"It was great. It helps your confidence to have a hit like this.
#5, Brett Booth, COn how Taylor Guilbeau was out on the mound today: "First off, Guilbeau did a really good job of mixing in all four pitches. He did really well with his fastball, and he had his off-speed working well to keep them off-balance. And of course, he threw a ton of strikes today."
On what part of the team is able to come through against the big SEC teams: "This team just keeps going. If you keep going and keep putting yourself in position for a victory, you'll eventually get it. I think that if you look at our games all year long we've been there in pretty much every game. At home, on Saturday, late in the game we just tend to get that game-winning hit; it seems to be common theme for us. The biggest thing is just building off this and trying to put something together, and to not let this just happen on Saturday at home.
POST GAME NOTES:* Freshman LHP Taylor Guilbeau pitched a career-high 6.0 innings against the Commodores, allowing two runs on one hit with four walks and a career-high seven strikeouts, surpassing his previous career-high of four strikeouts.* With his RBI in the bottom of the sixth, junior infielder Brett Booth collected his team-leading 26th of the season.* Freshman Ben Moore was 3-for-4, posting two runs and one RBI. Moore registered his 13th multi-hit game and his fourth three-hit game of the season.* Moore now leads the team with 51 hits and a .362 batting average. Jared Reaves in second with 50 hits and Taylor Dugas in third with 49.* Alabama took the win with a two-out, three-run walk-off homer by Austin Smith in the bottom of the ninth inning.* Smith's home run was Alabama's third consecutive walk-off home run in an at-home Saturday game against an SEC opponent this season.* Smith's homer was his first home run of the season and first since June 3, 2011. It was Smith's sixth career home run.* Smith had two hits in the games, notching just his second multi-hit game of the season and 20th of his career. It was also his second multi-RBI game of the season for his 13th in two years with Alabama.* The win for Trey Pilkington was his second of the season, with both coming in relief appearances. * With a hit this afternoon, Taylor Dugas now has 312 hits in his career to rank third all-time at Alabama. He needs one more hit to tie Brent Boyd for second all-time and 11 more to match Andy Phillips for the school record. * Dugas also tied Allen Rice for sixth in games played (226) and tied Andy Phillips for games started (224) in a career. * The 11 hits collected by Alabama is the Tide's fourth-highest total in 17 SEC games and sixth-highest of the season overall. It also marked Alabama's 10th double-digit hit game of the season.* Today's game marks the first time that the Crimson Tide has won back-to-back games against the Commodores since the 2010 season.* Jon Kelton added his 19th career sacrifice bunt to move into a tie with Darren Wood for sixth all-time.

There is great interest in improved methods to quantitate cell proliferation and survival,
which are important for applications in cell biology, toxicology, drug screening, and many
other biosciences. All current approaches on the market in use for several decades have a variety
of disadvantages, including non-linearity, high background, and cumbersome, costly, and time-consuming protocols.
CellCountEZ® is a tissue culture media-based assay that can measure metabolically active live
cells and quantify cell death caused by radiation, chemotherapeutics, or toxins. The compound in
CellCountEZ® is superior to existing compounds used for quantifying cell
proliferation and survival because it is readily soluble, membrane permeable, and converted by live
cells intracellularly before transport into the extracellular culture media. Cell media is used in
the assay, avoiding the need to lyse cells and thereby saving time and cost while preserving the ability
to perform other cellular tests in the same culture system.
CellCountEZ® offers
many advantages that make it superior to common existing methods for quantifying cell growth and survival. Click the To Order tab and see the difference firsthand. Sold only through LDI.

Floating through the clouds and back down to life
Out of the dark of night, a brightly lit city, roads, illuminated monuments and the flow of traffic loom into view. Emerging from darkness into light, or from blinding sunlight into pitch darkness...
I've had this incredible experience twice in my life, once when flying to South Korea and years ago when flying to Tokyo.
When I glanced down from a plane taking off from Rio de Janeiro, I saw the mighty Amazon winding across a plain
like a slender snake. On another plane, taking off from Sicily, I watched with awe the black fumes rising softly from Mt Etna. How orderly Prague appears from a spring sky, and if you look closely as the plane descends to land you can see the pink peach blossoms that fill the city, and the green and yellow fields.
The enchanted Far East.
A long-haul flight... The singular excitement I felt when the plane landed in Singapore... How I was caught in a warm monsoon rain as I was leaving the airport, and Sentosa Island, like magic, overlooking the harbor.
On another trip... I was spellbound when my plane landed in Honolulu. Hawaii captured me in an instant. This is a world so far away from everything. Wildly colored orchids, flocks of parrots winging through the air, pearl fishers rushing towards me, bearing pearls in the palms of their hands, artists who paint portraits by looking in the mirror, the rickshaw I took that evening, pulled by a native... Dusky-skinned people with a smile on their face, an aged fortune-teller in the hollow of a large tree... Torches burning at the roadside by night... The sound of music in the air...
Flying, going to fresh new countries. Experiencing them and writing up what I've seen and felt... This is a big part of my life.
Florence, the Uffizi, the Café Rivoire; sipping a cappuccino there and contemplating life.
Consuming a rich chocolate pastry at Le Valentin in Paris, strolling down the Rue de Rivoli. The Louvre and the mummy of a pharoah under glass in the Egyptian section.
I look closely at the pharaoh's mummy and I understand once again what a great adventure living is.

Huntingtin's disease (HD) is a neurologic disease that results in impaired cognitive and behavioral functions, which lead to decreased life expectancy. This autosomal dominant disorder is characterized by an expanded CAG-repeat in the huntingtin (HTT) gene that results in an expanded polyglutamine tract in the HTT protein, which is believed to cause toxicity in neurons. Currently, there are no cures or treatments to slow the progression of the disease, but recent advances in oligonucleotide (ON) based approaches show great promise.
Until now, ON-based strategies for potential HD treatment have fallen into three categories: i) non-allele selective silencing of both the mutant (mu) or wildtype (wt) HTT using RNA-targeting ONs, ii) allele selective silencing of muHTT by targeting the expanded CAG repeat with ONs that act via steric block or miRNA pathways, and iii) allele selective silencing of muHTT by directing antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) or siRNA to SNPs associated with the CAG repeats. Concerns over the potential effect of decreased wtHTT expression, high drug doses and pharmacokinetic challenges, have prompted Isis Pharmaceuticals to take an alternative approach.
In a recently published "Top 5%" Nucleic Acid Research article (DOI:10.1093/nar/gkt1725), Michael Østergaard and coworkers describe a new strategy for allele selective inhibition of muHTT expression, which is based on a detailed understanding of human RNase H enzymology. Gapmer ASOs are targeted toward a SNP site in an intronic region of HTT RNA. The resulting heteroduplexes are fully complementary when muHTT is targeted, but contain a central GT wobble base pair when wtHTT is targeted. The presence of the GT wobble influences the cleavage pattern of RNase H, leading to preferential cleavage of the muHTT RNA. Through clever optimization of the lead gapmer – using different probe architectures and chemically modified nucleotides – the Isis team successfully developed constructs that allowed for efficient reduction of muHTT RNA in HD human fibroblast cells (IC50 = 0.15 µM), with no reduction of wtHTT RNA at the highest evaluated dose (>133-fold selectivity).
Remarkably, the enhancement in allele selectivity was also observed in a transgenic mouse model of HD following a single intracerebral-ventricular bolus injection, both at the RNA and protein level (ED50 = 110 mg) throughout the mouse brain with no apparent toxicity even after prolonged treatment.
Isis Pharmaceuticals has partnered with Roche to pursue development of ASOs for treatment of HD, whereby it will gain access to Roche's delivery platform ("brain shuttle"). Implications of allele selective ASO technology extend far beyond HD and can be envisioned as an approach to treat any autosomal dominant disease.

I don't know if I'm doing this right.
Suppose you have 12 marbles. 5 are red and 7 are blue. If you randomly choose 4 marbles at once, what is the probability you will get exactly 3 red marbles?
I did the equation: $(5/12)(4/11)(3/10)(7/9)$
Then I tried to do it in combination form: ${5 \choose 3}$${7 \choose 1}$ divided by ${12 \choose 4}$. But it doesn't yield the same result.
Did I do something wrong in the first equation? Or set up my combinations wrong?

Engaged Encounter
What is an Engaged Encounter?
An Engaged Encounter is a weekend experience for couples preparing for marriage. It offers a unique opportunity for couples to dialogue together honestly and intensively about their lives together and their love for each other: their strengths and weaknesses, dreams and hopes, desires and gifts, their attitudes about money, sex, children and family – all in a personal, face-to-face way.
How does the Encounter work?
A team of married couples along with a priest or brother from the Renewal Center staff makes a series of presentations based on their own lived experience. Then the engaged couples are invited to share privately about these aspects of married life –always from the perspective of their own unique relationship. The weekend is Catholic in orientation, but engaged couples of all faiths are welcomed, and do attend.
When is the best time to attend?
The The Engaged Encounter is limited to 50 couples. Thus, if you want to be assured of getting the date you choose, your application and deposit MUST be received as early as possible. Most weekends are filled three months in advance. Reservations can't be made by phone, but only in writing and with the deposit.
When are the Encounters held?
How much does the weekend cost?

It was clear from early on in development cycle that the Hornet would be the main military fighter in SC. That's why the Hornet was my 1st choice during the fundraiser. It would be a ship with fundamental backing from it's developers (as proven by the effort put into the Squadron 42 campaign and its reward system).
That said, if the goal is communal benefit, the answer to 'Hornet vs i325a' changes. A pack of i325a's will kill a Hornet. The question could be; -How can we consolidate as a operational group and make the best use of our numbers? (-Already addressed to a certain extent by creating this forum. Thank you Rickety!)
If the Hornet does not have the range or logistic support to operate where needed, using i325a may be the only option (although vulnerable to Vanduul fighters).
Personally I would love to see game economy that is able to support the Hornet's Kill-on-Demand capabilities.
In general I am careful engaging in discussions like this, and I quote Ludy:
"By the way this is all throwing crap at a wall and seeing what sticks at release." -But until then; do not forget that we all have the voice to influence RSI and the outcome at release.

Personally i like the look of the hornet, a combat vessel is rugged and practical it looks the way it does because of the task it has to perform.
it doesn't need sleek looks it must have thick amour and lots of hardpoints, cargo space is for ammunition, those ugly fans on the front keep the targeting systems cool that are working overtime tracking multiple targets.
Looking at the ship statistics its clear, this is a heavy fighter its designed to cruise up to a capital ship shrugging of turret fire and then disable its systems and engines with its massive fire power.
The 325a is clearly a light fighter that would get sawn in half pulling that of.
The big trade off of the hornet is its short legs it can't move without a carrier or refueling ships positioned along the route for beyond "horizon" attacks

Margarita Castillo – Serving Beautifully
The "Mrs. Menifee Valley Chamber" sash draped around her body, with the sparkling crown accompanying...
The "Mrs. Menifee Valley Chamber" sash draped around her body, with the sparkling crown accompanying the title, pales in comparison to the beauty that exudes from Margarita Castillo's shining smile. The beauty, coming from the joy within, lights up the room and warms the hearts of all who meet her. Her kindness and charm are evident the moment her eyes lock into those of a stranger, and pull them into her benevolent presence. Serving as the reigning Queen for 2010, Margarita has served her public well, representing Menifee at countless events with an extended hand and open heart.
Service should be Margarita's middle name. Married to Art Castillo for 26 years, and Vice President of their business, Castillo Heating and Air Conditioning, Inc. for 23 of those years, she has been devoted to service within her own world. Mother of 7 children, Margarita knows what devotion means. "All of my children are good students, and our family is so close. My children, Angela, age 24, Amanda, age 23, Anna, age 21, Andrea, age 18, Adriana, age 15, Arturo Jr., age 11 and Antonio, age 8, all live at home and two of my daughters work for the business. We spend Sundays together as Family Days. We have a good time just hanging out!"
But devotion to family is only the beginning of the responsibilities Margarita has assumed. Along with being Mrs. Menifee Valley Chamber 2010, she is also the Menifee Valley Chamber Ambassador Chairperson, The Chamber Ribbon Cutting Event Chairperson, and Cursillo and Chairperson of the Ultreya with Blessed Theresa of Calcutta. Her duties with the Chamber require her to attend multiple Chamber events, which she doesn't see as a requirement, but as an honor to serve. She and the other Ambassadors greet members, introduce members to one another, help members network and facilitate business connections. "We are the face of the Chamber, and we take that very seriously." She is also a licensed cosmetologist and an Arbonne Representative. Working as Vice President for Castillo Heating and Air Conditioning Inc., is a full-time position, so when asked, "Where do you find the time," she just smiled that warm, joyful smile.
"I lived and died by the calendar, up until I had my fourth child. At that point, I just couldn't keep it all straight! Now, I just do the important things first, and if I have time, I do the rest. Life is too short! I don't want my kids to remember me only barking orders at them. Enjoying life is important to me and I want it to be important to my children too. Now, with all 7 children at home, Art and I are so happy! Now, we truly enjoy the laughter in our home."
Serving her family, her community and her friends with joy and beauty are the very hallmarks of Margarita's life. With a genuine happiness in her heart, her love of life fills everyone whom she touches. A true Queen, serving beautifully.

text: Jan 11, 2013 13:10 BR man indicted for Letten threats BR man indicted for Letten threats Bill Lodge| Advocate staff writer Comments A Baton Rouge man was indicted Thursday on a charge that he threatened to murder former New Orleans U.S. Attorney Jim Letten and "members of his (Letten's) immediate family." In Baton Rouge, U.S. Attorney Donald J. Cazayoux Jr. said in a written statement that Gerald Estrade, 56, faces a charge that carries a possible 10-year prison term. The formal charge is threatening to murder a former federal law enforcement officer and/or his family members. Cazayoux added that the case is under investigation by the FBI and that Assistant U.S. Attorney Jennifer M. Kleinpeter is the prosecutor. Kleinpeter is deputy criminal chief of Cazayoux's office. Cazayoux also said Estrade was taken into federal custody Tuesday. In a telephone interview, Cazayoux said he could not comment further. Estrade could not be located for comment Thursday. On Dec. 5, 2011, Estrade was charged in 19th Judicial District Court in Baton Rouge with possession of cocaine, court records show. Records of that case show that state District Judge Anthony Marabella Jr. sentenced Estrade on May 22 to a 13-month prison term on that charge. Get The Advocate in your inbox Subscribe

Since Dec 20, 2011
"All that we have to do is to send two mujahedeen to the furthest point east to raise a piece of cloth on which is written al Qaeda, in order to make generals race there to cause America to suffer human, economic and political losses without their achieving anything of note other than some benefits for their private corporations"--Osama bin Laden
"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." Henry Louis Mencken (1880-1956)
'"Jis to think of that dog Chivington and his dirty hounds, up thar at Sand Creek. His men shot down squaws, and blew the brains out of little innocent children. You call sich soldiers Christians, do ye? And Indians savages? What der yer 'spose our Heavenly Father, who made both them and us, thinks of these things? I tell you what, I don't like a hostile red skin any more than you do. And when they are hostile, I've fought 'em, hard as any man. But I never yet drew a bead on a squaw or papoose, and I despise the man who would."' Kit Carson

Proficiently acted and directed, the new film by co-writer/director Drake Doremus, Breathe In (opening today), just exists. It's a slow burn, forbidden romantic tale meant to titillate, but it builds for too long, moving directly in line with our expectations for what we will assume will happen.
Doremus's last film, Like Crazy, was a powerful and moving long-distance love story that put both of its young stars - Felicity Jones and Anton Yelchin - on the map. That was a story of two lovers that we rooted for and knew belonged together, despite time, distance and/or cultural spaces between them. In Breathe In, the tale is sort of inverted: It is again a love story, but this time the two have access to each other, despite us viewers knowing - or wanting - their love to flourish.
Felicity Jones again stars as a British student, Sophie, who this time comes to the States to be housed as a foreign exchange student. The home she occupies is that of the Reynolds, Keith (Guy Pearce) and his condescending wife Megan (Amy Ryan). Megan off-handedly insults Keith by calling his passion for music a "hobby," while Megan herself has a cookie jar obsession. They have a daughter roughly the same age as Sophie, Lauren (Mackenzie Davis).
Instantly, we sense there is some sort of sexual/romantic connection between the much younger Sophie and the struggling musician Keith, who also happens to teach music at Sophie's new school. The two slowly inch closer to one another and - yawn - fight the urge to act on it.
To make us feel like this is more acceptable, Keith's wife Megan is a two-dimensional cliche, made bearable by the wonderful Amy Ryan. We see her belittle Keith and the two are never shown as being intimate, or even any remnants of past happiness together, really. This breech makes it easier for us to understand why Keith may be drawn to Sophie.
Keith and Sophie do have a lot in common. Call them "soul mates" if you'd like. Despite their age and the fact that that Keith is a married man, they are drawn to one another. And it's a slow draw, consuming a great portion of the film.
But what does one expect when they let a gal like Felicity Jones bunk up at their house? The mesmerizing actress is actually in her thirties, here playing a teenager. You can't help but understand the attraction.
This Lolita-esque story teases and teases, before culminating in the two character's obvious and eventual hook-up. Director Drake Doremus does a good job of letting the actors' performances push the story forward, and both Pearce and Jones do remarkable work. It's just that everything is way too predictable and therefore, hard to really invest in.
We know there is no happy ending when two lovers meet under impossible circumstances. The way this one is presented to us, I'm not even sure if there relationship is something the viewer wants. One flaw is that we see Keith struggle with his emotions, whereas Sophie doesn't really seem too opposed to wrecking a marriage and a family.
Breathe In isn't all bad, but by the end, it's even more disappointing to know that it arrives at the exact spot you could have predicted it would, moments into it.
Genre: Drama
Run Time: 1 hour, 39 minutes, Rated R

Is there a way to delete records from MDM automatically?
I am able to import the data automatically through MDIS, but I have to delete the data first. Itu2019s possible to do it ?
Either you delete the records from Data Manager or if you have huge number of records and wanted to delete all of them - best way is to Export the Repository Scehma of current repostiory and create the new repository from the schema file. With this, you will get the new fresh repository having same structure with no records
Hi Jitesh
Current scenario
USER1: call ME to delete old catalog data
ME: open the MDM & delete it manually
USER1: Transaction to extract new data file
MDIS: load the data to catalog
USER2: use the catalog
Iu2019m looking to automate all process
USER1 Transaction >> MDIS load data >> USER2 Transaction
You can try using a dedicated port for deletion.
Import map action provides delete option.
Hi Adam,
Check the below forum for deletion of data in SAP MDM through Import Manager, the below forum describes how to delete the data from a look up table.
Hope this helps.
sorry to being late
Hi ailesh
I cant find any delete option through import map!?
Hi sowseel
thank you.. help me in another case
the issue not solved .. if there is anyone face same issue, please answer me
Hi Adam,
Sorry to say but currently MDM does not have any mechanism to delete the records automatically. Everytime we need to log into data manager and then delete the records. If any one does know how to delete the records do share with all of us.
Thanks and Regards
Hi Adam,
Current scenario
USER1: call ME to delete old catalog data
ME: open the MDM & delete it manually
USER1: Transaction to extract new data file
MDIS: load the data to catalog
As per your requirement, you should save map in following way which can solve your purpose. Create a XML file which should consist of new and existing records. So in import Manager, for newly added records you need to set Default Import Action as Create and for existing records you should use or set Default Import Action as Replace and then should save in map.
So using this every-time if new record comes (not available in data manager), it will get created and for existing record (already available in Data Manager) it will replace (which means delete the existing record (old catalog data) and create a new record).
Mandeep Saini
From our experience, the only way to delete records is to use the APIs. But, as some of the earlier posters have said, are you sure you need to delete and can't do an update? Generally, Master Data should be static, and not deleted. Maybe if you review the use case, you'll discover a way to do this as an update. If not, then coding using the APIs to identify and delete the records will be the best way to go.
One other option, to simplify the deletes, may be to do an Import that "flags" the records with some data element you could then filter on to execute the delete in Data Manager. Don't know you exact scenario, but if searching for the records to delete is time consuming, that could solve for that part and not require custom code.
Hope this helps,
Steve Monaghan

An excellent evening out, starting with the seaplane ride with views of Victoria followed by a delicious 3 course meal sitting on the balcony of the restaurant overlooking beautiful gardens. The gardens were stunning and immaculately kept with the most beautiful displays, fountains and a huge rose garden. Top all of that off with a chauffeur driven stretch limo to take you back to your hotel!!!

SKU: ADL700 MPN: ADL700The Presonus ADL 700 is a high-end Class A tube preamplifier with a fully variable, FET-based compressor and a four-band semi-parametric EQ. The ADL 700's preamplifier section was designed by non other than Anthony Demaria, a legend in the industry.
Born from the now legendary ADL 600 dual-channel preamplifier, the new Presonus ADL 700 Channel Strip is sure to also become legendary in its own right. Featuring the same all-tube preamplifier design as it's dual-channal brother, the ADL 700 expands upon the design and adds an incredibly musical FET-based compressor design and a highly versatile 4-Band EQ section. Designed in conjunction with Anthony DeMaria, the Presonus ADL 700 is sure to be a go-to channel strip for engineers the world over.
For those looking for an all in one channel strip with highly musical features and great sound, the ADL 700 is a no-brainer. With it's tube pre-amp, FET compressor and 4-band EQ, there's no limit to sonic results you can achieve. You can even link the compression section of two ADL 700 units together, giving you a fantastic way to compress a whole mix or any stereo source to give it a smooth analog sound.
After spending some time with the ADL 700, we've come to love its flexibility and surprisingly transparent sound quality. For a tube preamp, the ADL 700 is extremely detailed and clear. Sure, if you crank up the gain you can really warm up the sound, but at lower gain settings, it has the clarity of a solid-state circuit, but with a bit of those extra harmonics we've all come to love from a tube preamp.
We have found the compressor to extremely usable, though we do wish it had some slightly higher compression ratios to choose from. The lower ratios between 2:1 and 3:1 seems to be the real sweet spot on the ADL 700. Vocals are evened out very nicely at these settings. The higher 4:1 setting with a slower attack sounds great on a snare drum, while setting attack and release at their fastest settings sounds killer on a drum room mic to bring up the room in a mix.
The ADL 700's EQ section is probably the biggest surprise here as it was designed by the Presonus team. The EQ sound very musical and is very easy to carve out what you don't like in a sound. Boosting also sounds awesome, especially in the higher frequencies. The fixed Q Presonus decided on seems to work extremely well. There is also a switch that places the EQ in front of the compressor which is certainly nice to have.

I'm willing to bet you have tried to implement systems in business before.
You've looked to add solutions, streamline your activities and automate tasks, haven't you?
But it never sticks…
Implementing systems is like moving elephants…
Elephants were causing an African village to starve each year. Every year the village would plant their crops but the Elephants would trample over the plants on their way to the river to drink.
The simple solution… move the Elephants.
Relocate them to another area so they couldn't trample the food supply of the village.
After moving the Elephants many of the villagers became sick and died. It turned out there was a bacteria that grew in the mud along the riverbank. The Elephants continued to disturb the habitat so the bacteria would never flourish.
But when the Elephants were gone ,this left the bacteria was undisturbed. It grew and flourished and infected the natives. This caused many in the village to die from the bacteria.
When thinking about systems… it's hard to think past the current pain point that you know exists. It's hard to predetermine what "might" happen next… so you do the best with the info you have and create your system.
But everything has a cause and effect.
And when something pops up that is unexpected it causes frustration and sets you back.
Everything has a cause and effect.
As Susan Scott says in Fierce Conversations… "No plan survives it's collision with reality."
Does this mean that creating and implementing systems is a waste of time?
Not at all…
And this is what you and I will be talking about on the tele-class this Friday… January 25th.
- Stay Productive
- Keep Focused
- Be Consistent
— Darin Persinger
P.S. A quick Q & A…
Q. Darin, do you offer 1 to 1 coaching and if so is it possible to work with just you and not one of your coaches? – Curious about coaching
A. When you hire me, you get me. It's that simple. My business model is not to simply be the front guy that brings clients in and and outsource you to "trained coaches", while still charging a premium price.
You want to hire me, you get me.
So yes, I do 1 to 1 coaching and there is no extra fee to work with me 1 to 1. I am your coach.
You'll also find that your investment cost to work with me is NOT the cost of mortgage… to find out more info on having me help you with your business visit here.

Jenna Becker of Hartford placed sixth among 26 participants in the cosmetology competition during the annual SkillsUSA National Leadership and Skills Conference in Kansas City, Mo., June 21-26.
The conference is a showcase of career and technical education students, with contests that are run with the help of industry, trade associations and labor organizations.
Becker had placed first in the Wisconsin SkillsUSA State Leadership and Skills Conference in April, which qualified her for the national event. This was the first year that students from Moraine Park's Barber/Cosmetologist program competed at SkillsUSA.
"I am very excited to be one of the first from Moraine Park to compete in the SkillsUSA competition," said Becker. "I have learned so much and it was an honor to have the opportunity to compete in nationals this year. The SkillsUSA organization is so wonderful and I wish more students would participate so they could see how much it has to offer."
Jon Waldhuetter, dean of apprenticeship, commended Becker, saying, "This is an outstanding accomplishment and it reflects strongly on the theoretical knowledge and practical experience that Jenna acquired as a student at Moraine Park. We are proud to have played a part in Jenna's education and her career in the cosmetology industry."
Barber/Cosmetologist program instructor Eileen Bouchard attended SkillsUSA with Becker and said the competition was exciting for her as well. "I believe competing gives the students the opportunity to perfect the skills they have learned in school, plus move out of their comfort zone and compete with students from other schools. It is a great way to help prepare the students for their careers and challenges that may lie ahead of them."

Qix++ (Xbox 360) review
"These changes at first seem to provide some welcome depth to the experience, but they come at a cost: instead of allowing you to play through an endless modewhich would have been a nice challenge and would have felt true to its arcade rootsthe game now replenishes your stock of ships with each new stage and switches to a credits sequence once you finish the eighth zone. Then you can complete a second batch of eight stages. Once you've done that, you're done with the single-player mode unless you feel like going back to obtain a better score."

In what may turn out to be the last major vote in Representative Steve Driehaus's (D-OH) career, the 1st District Democrat changed a promised "no" vote to one of "yes" on health care Sunday night, thanks to a last second deal from the White House.
In the weeks leading up to the final House vote, Driehaus gave assurances over and over again that he would vote against health care reform legislation as long as the provisions of bill allowed for federal funds to be spent on abortion. Just hours before the final vote, Driehaus and several like-minded Democrats (including their presumptive leader, Rep. Bart Stupak (D-MI)) changed their votes as a bloc to "yes", securing just enough votes to slide the controversial health care overhaul through the House.
So what changed Driehaus's mind? Did the legislation with which he found so much fault change? Not at all. As Driehaus voted in favor of the legislation, the language of the bill still permits federally funded abortions. However, President Obama gave a promise to pro-life Democrats that he would issue an executive order guaranteeing that federal funds provided for in the health care legislation will not be used to fund abortions.
A victory for pro-lifers then? Not so fast. When stacked up against legislation or court challenges, executive orders are worth about as much as the paper they are written on. Many things can override or cancel out an executive order such as (1) another executive order, (2) contrary legislation, (3) prior court rulings. Therefore, is President Obama changes his mind on this promise and issues another executive order to cancel out this one, he can do that without any check or balance.
Pundits have also speculated that a legal challenge to the executive order on the basis of court rulings (especially the court ruling in Roe v. Wade) will terminate the order should a court find that federal funding for abortions has previously been permitted.
These problems with executive orders are not obscurities, which means that Driehaus and his staff clearly knew they existed. Perhaps the congressman was looking for a way out of his promise to vote against health care legislation.
Whatever the reason for his vote, the "yes" tally is sure to be a huge issue in November. The first time that Driehaus voted for the health care legislation, he took a heavy hit in polls and in negative press.
Expect opponent Steve Chabot (R) to raise the issue of Driehaus's changed vote many times prior to this fall's congressional election.

I hope this is the right place to post this question.
I've been searching for a while, to find an answer to this. I'm trying to find out what is a better approach for our household.
- Buy two NAS devices, and have the main one backup to the other one every night. Both will have a 3TB hard drive.
- Get one NAS device, with two bays and RAID-1. And use two 3TB hard drives in them.
Both approaches result in 3TB being available for storage. The first prevents most data from being lost (a maximum of 24 hours can be lost if the main one crashes). The latter (in most cases) should avoid any data being lost altogether.
As far as I'm concerned, RAID-1 is the way to go. Because of these reasons:
- Faster (concurrent) access to data.
- More secure on drive failure.
- Easier to manage (only one device, not two)
- Easier integration from any device (only 1 IP address, no need to switch in order to read from the other one)
However, someone I'm having a discussion with about this subject thinks the two NAS devices approach is better. A friend recommended it to him. His only argument is that when one of the NAS devices dies, the other one can take over all functionality.
Note that in the case of having two NAS devices, they'll not be more secure from for example the house burning down. So location isn't an argument here.
Does either solution bring complications when it comes to compatibility. Such as playing from a PC, a media players, internet TV, etc.?
What are the pros and cons of either scenario? And which is the recommended one?

A fierce styling background informs this Atlantan's interior design.
When Darcie Adler appraises you with her gimlet eyes, try not blush. She is mentally arranging a tableau of props to express your personality at its best, and the results might leave you feeling a bit exposed.
Adler has worked as a stylist for Atlanta's top photographers, and her canny juxtapositions of texture and color have set the tone for The Book, the exclusive Neiman Marcus catalog, as well as materials for Bloomingdale's, Nordstrom and Lord & Taylor.
"Photographers began asking me to decorate rooms in their homes as if they were sets," she says. "I finally decided to venture into interior design, while continuing to work in photo styling and art direction."
So the world is her diorama.
Adler, 44, a Minnesota native, came to Atlanta to study at the Portfolio Center and quickly established her eloquence as a visual narrator. "For The Book, I would imagine pretend people wearing the items and develop whole storylines for them—sometimes kitschy and vintage or maybe Old Hollywood glamour."
Similarly, now with design clients, "I study someone, ask questions, and then render them on mood boards—usually an edgier version of themselves," she says, citing recent examples: a bedroom for a young "tomboy naturalist," a bachelor pad with taxidermy and a chichi powder room.
"Knowing how to cut the grand with the humble—and the graphic with the fluid—is part of the balance," she confesses.

I'm running a configuration on Plesk during which Plesk randomly overwrites my nginx.conf with a default template, so what I'm trying to do is change the template by including another configuration file if needed(something like how httpd.conf and vhost.conf) works, but the question is, would it work if i repeated the same tags, for example I have this nginx configuration:
server {
listen 72.25.454.19:80;
server_name example.com;
server_name www.example.com;
server_name ipv4.example.com;
client_max_body_size 128m;
location / { # IPv6 isn't supported in proxy_pass yet.
proxy_pass http://184.108.40.206:7080;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Accel-Internal /internal-nginx-static-location;
access_log off;
location /internal-nginx-static-location/ {
alias /usr/share/tomcat6/psa-webapps/example.com/example/;
access_log /var/www/vhosts/example.com/statistics/logs/proxy_access_log;
add_header X-Powered-By PleskLin;
and I added the same declaration only to change the alias, would nginx merge the two configurations, or just take the last one, not sure how it works.
server {
listen 72.25.454.19:80;
location /internal-nginx-static-location/ {

How can I encourage my son to behave in kindergarten?
My son Isaiah is 5 years old and stated kindergarten this past fall. Before this he was enrolled in pre-k daycare two days a week. Since he began kindergarten he has received about 15-20 notes from his teacher for his behavior. Some examples of what he's done/had problems with: negative attitude, complaining very loud, hitting, play fighting at recess, pulled down his pants in class to show off his underwear, purposely spill yogurt in classroom, calling names etc. We have tried punishing him to his room, doing a daily sticker chart for days he does not get notes working up to a prize, taking away tv and video games, writing apology notes for his behavior, talking with him and permanently taking away all superhero shows and activities (because of their violence.) I am writing here because I am at an absolute loss as to what to do! In our 'out of school lives' everyone says how nice and polite our son is. He is a good boy but does have a very strong will. I think he is doing well academically - he can read, spell and do addition. He has always seemed very bright for his age and is extremely inquisitive. I am looking for any suggestions because I am afraid that if we don't help him to change his actions this will continue the rest of his life!In Topics: Kindergarten readiness, Discipline and behavior challenges

What I want to know is how one finds/sets the values of $a,b,c,d,y$ that satisfies the constraint with the given $x$.
Edit: I edited the question so that $d$ is now a factor of $x$.
Without brute-forcing, what would be an easy way to find a possible way of setting values?
