Skill Level Beginner
So after I've worked on this a little bit I've got the effect that I want. And you'll see I used the Crease Tool and adjusted this a little bit. And then I added a Smooth Modifier on top of that, and just a sort of smoothed the entire thing out, so I don't have those hard edges. So you can see with Auto Smooth turned on, with the Threshold turned up pretty high I've got a fairly smooth result there. And if I'm happy with this, I will probably want to save it in this stage, and then additionally I'm going to then convert this to Editable Poly, and essentially make the subdivisions permanent.
This is sometimes called Baking the model, and it's just the same as we saw when we were working with procedural models. Basically, we are taking all this complexity here and then just boiling it down to a simple shape. And that's going to future-proof our work so that it'll open reliably in future versions of the program. Baking your model is also a necessary step when you're exporting to another application, or a game engine, or what have you. So that's usually the final stage of modeling is exporting it out to a baked mesh.
Pretty simple and straightforward, all I have to do is convert it to Editable Poly. But before I do, since that's a destructive act, I want to just double-check my level of detail. So I am pressing F4 and looking at this. I can go into my TurboSmooth and say okay, well, would it be better if I have 3 Iterations, or 2, or 1? Because after I do this bake operation it'll be very difficult for me to change the level of detail afterwards, globally. So two, three - well, I'll tell you what, I am going to hit the 7 key in my keyboard and take a look.
So I'll need to go back into my Viewport Configuration, because I want to see the statistics for the selection as well. So this Bar Stool seat is currently 3500 polygons. Let's see what happens if I increase it to 3 Iterations, now it's 14,000 polygons. So the question we need to ask ourselves here is how close are we going to be to this object in our final rendering? If we are going to be pretty far away in this then we may not need that much detail.
The basic rule of thumb is you never want a polygon to be smaller than a pixel in your final rendering. If you have so many polygons that you have multiple polygons per pixel in your final rendering, then basically you are just wasting computer resources, and it's way too heavy of the model. So I'll hit the F4 key here and turn off those wires, and with the object selected I'll go back to my TurboSmooth and dial it up and down and see without those edges visible can I see any real change here? Okay, so let's turn on Show end result too while we are at it.
So with no Iterations it obviously looks pretty bad. 1 Iteration, I would say nay to that because it's still looking kind of blocky. 2 Iterations is good. 3 Iterations, I can barely tell the difference between 2 and 3. 4 Iterations, I can't see any difference. So basically I want to increase this up to a level of detail that looks good and no further. So I'll take it back down to 2. I think 2 is actually the sweet spot in this case. So I am happy with that, with 2 Iterations I've only got 3000 polygons.
This is going to be significant. Let's say I have a hundred bar stools in a bar or something. Polygon count is going to be a factor, if I have lots and lots of them. So I want to try to keep it down to something reasonable. So I think this is looking pretty good and all I need to bake it out is just convert it to Editable Poly, right- click to convert to Editable Poly. And now you'll see we no longer have a Modifier stack, and it's been baked out, and I would save this now to a new file.

INTERPRETING & PRIORITIZING DATA FROM CRISPR/RNAi SCREENS
3:20 Chairperson's Opening Remarks
Eugen Buehler, Ph.D., Group Leader, Informatics, National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences, National Institutes of Health
3:35 Differences between CRISPR/RNAi Necessitate Re-Thinking Analysis Algorithms
Recent CRISPR screens illustrate their low rate of false positives. Although initial CRISPR screens published have been analyzed using methods developed first for RNAi screening, the data is distinctly different. We will quantify the differences in false positives between the two screening modalities and suggest how analysis methods can be better tailored to CRISPR screens.
4:05 CARD: An Interactive Web-Based Application for Comprehensive Analysis of RNAi-Screen Data
Bhaskar Dutta, Ph.D., Principal Biomedical Informatics Scientist, AstraZeneca
Screen data can be susceptible to myriad of experimental biases, many of which can be corrected by computational analysis. We have developed a web-based platform for integrated analysis and visualization of RNAi screen data, named CARD. CARD allows the user to seamlessly carry out sequential steps, including normalization, off-target analysis, integration of gene expression data, optimal thresholds for hit selection and network/pathway analysis.

5:40 Extracting Novel Insight from Genome-Scale Genetic Screens through Integrated Iterative Analysis
Iain Fraser, Ph.D., Investigator, Laboratory of Systems Biology, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, National Institutes of Health
The interpretation of genome-wide screens through annotated databases of known molecular processes has been shown to increase the validation rates and the interpretability of those screens, yet these approaches come at a cost of missing novel, non-annotated hits. We will present an approach that integrates the advantages of annotated databases with statistical and network corrections allowing novel hits to still emerge.
6:10 PANEL DISCUSSION: Strategies to Interpret and Prioritize Data from CRISPR and RNAi Screens
Moderator: Eugen Buehler, Ph.D., Group Leader, Informatics, National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences, National Institutes of Health

USING CRISPR/RNAi FOR TARGET DISCOVERY & PATHWAY ANALYSIS
8:30 Chairperson's Remarks
John Doench, Ph.D., Associate Director, Genetic Perturbation Platform, Broad Institute of Harvard and MIT
8:45 Strategies and Applications Using shRNA and CRISPR Technology for Identification of New Druggable Targets
Donald Apanovitch, Ph.D., Director, Functional Genomics (Oncology), Pfizer Research
Application of RNAi loss of function negative selection screens is a well-documented platform for identification of essential gene function regulating oncogenic pathways and tumorigenesis. In collaboration with the Cold Spring Harbor and the IBB group of Pfizer Oncology we have designed and validated druggable and target specific lentiviral shRNA libraries. Overview of our mir-based libraries and screening strategy will be presented along with CRISPR applications as an orthogonal tool to characterize differences in shRNA rescue experiments.
9:15 High Throughput Phenotypic Screening in Drug Discovery Using the CRISPR-Cas9 System
Greg Hoffman, Ph.D., Investigator III, Developmental & Molecular Pathways Department, Novartis Institutes for Biomedical Research
The CRISPR-Cas9 system has revolutionized high throughput forward genetics in mammalian cells. I will present our work applying CRISPR screening for the discovery of novel targets in complex models of human disease using FACS based assays. I will describe results of a systematic comparison of pooled CRISPR and shRNA libraries, insights on improving gRNA activity, and methods for validation of hits from CRISPR screens.
9:45 CRISPR Libraries for Functional Genomics: Optimizing On-Target Activity and Avoiding Off-Target Effects
The use of more active and specific CRISPR libraries is critical for maximizing the productivity of genetic screens. Here I will discuss considerations for genome-wide pooled screens using conventional CRISPR knockout libraries using Cas9 from S. pyogenes. I will also discuss the use of other Cas9 proteins for this purpose, as well as orthogonal approaches, such as CRISPRa and CRISPRi technologies.
10:15 Coffee Break in the Exhibit Hall with Poster Viewing and Poster Competition Winner Announced
11:10 A High Throughput Functional Genomics Screening Approach to Identify Modulators of Nonsense-Mediated mRNA Decay to Treat Mendelian Disorders
Madhu Lal-Nag, Ph.D., Group Leader, Trans-NIH RNAi Facility, National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences, National Institutes of Health
Many genetic disorders are attributed to a premature termination codon (PTC), and cells have evolved a surveillance pathway called nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) to eliminate PTC-containing transcripts. Identification of regulatory effectors could help manipulate the NMD machinery, allowing targeted interventions for PTC-associated diseases. A genome-wide RNAi screen identified known and novel players of the NMD pathway, and the top hits were validated with CRISPR to determine the extent of pathological phenotypes for NMD.
11:40 Fas-Mediated Apoptosis Overcomes Resistance to Kras-Silencing in Lung Cancer Cells
Haiwei Mou, Ph.D., Postdoctoral Fellow, Laboratory of Dr. Wen Xue, RNA Therapeutics Institute and Program in Molecular Medicine, University of Massachusetts Medical School
When oncogenic KRAS is suppressed by RNA interference, tumors initially regress but eventually relapse in a KRAS-independent manner. To investigate the mechanisms of Kras-independence, we established Kras knockout cells using CRISPR and found these cells are viable and exhibit increased invasive ability. Based on RNAseq, we found that Fas activation in Kras knockout cells is an "Achilles heel" that could be exploited to prevent relapse.
12:10 pm Arrayed CRISPR Screening with Synthetic crRNA Libraries for High-Throughput Loss-of-Function Studies
Louise Baskin, Senior Product Manager, Dharmacon, GE Healthcare
While pooled lentiviral sgRNAs screens have demonstrated utility for loss-of-function studies, there are limitations in the assay types that can be utilized. Arrayed screens offer the advantage of more sophisticated assays, such as high-content microscopy. High-throughput synthesis allows rapid generation of large collections of CRISPR RNAs (crRNAs) in arrayed formats. We will demonstrate the application of arrayed screening with synthetic crRNA libraries across multiple assay types, and present considerations for experimental success.
12:40 Session Break
12:50 Luncheon Presentation: Optimizing CRISPR for in vitro and in vivo Pooled Functional Genetic Screens
Paul Diehl, Ph.D., Director, Business Development, Cellecta, Inc.
Well-designed pooled lentiviral-based CRISPR/Cas9 libraries provide an efficient tool for genome-wide loss-of-function genetic screening to identify genes required for biological responses or disease pathologies. Generating robust screening results with complex heterogeneous pools of sgRNA, however, requires effective and efficient targeted gene interruption. We will review improvements we have discovered that produce more consistent results with stronger signals, and show how these enhancements provide better results in both in vitro and in vivo pooled CRISPR screens.
1:30 Refreshment Break in the Exhibit Hall with Poster Viewing
2:15 Chairperson's Remarks
Roderick Beijersbergen, Ph.D., Group Leader, Netherlands Cancer Institute and Head, NKI Robotics and Screening Center
2:20 Large Scale CRISPR Screens for Discovery of Genotype Specific Combination Therapies
The complexity and heterogeneity of cancer, the extensive crosstalk between pathways and unanticipated feedback control are underlying the limited long-term success of targeted therapeutics in the clinic. We use large-scale functional genomic screening technologies including shRNA/CRISPR-based gene editing in combination with (clinically) relevant screening models for the identification of dependencies in the context of specific genetic alterations. Using this platform we have identified novel effective drug combinations that are currently in the clinic.
2:50 GPCR-Mediated cAMP as an Immune Checkpoint in Cancer Identified by RNAi Screening
Tillmann Michels, Head of Research Group, Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors, Department of Interventional Immunology, Regensburg Center for Interventional Immunology; Member, Department of Translational Immunology, German Cancer Research Center
Immune checkpoint blockade has revolutionized cancer therapy. Our group screened several tumor entities in conjunction with tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) for novel immune modulators. We found that many immune checkpoints are tumor-restricted but the underlying mechanisms are shared between tumor entities. These mechanism range from inhibition of TIL-mediated apoptosis to cAMP-mediated inhibition of TILs.
3:20 Session Break
3:30 CRISPR-Based Mutagenesis Approach for Cancer Drug Target Identification
Junwei Shi, Ph.D., Assistant Professor, Department of Cancer Biology, University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine
CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing technology provides high-throughput genetic knockout screening strategies for cancer therapeutic target identification. We recently reported a domain-focused CRISPR screening approach to nominate protein domains that would sustain cancer cell growth and are suitable for drug targeting. Here, I will present an optimized CRISPR system, which could achieve robust genome editing efficiency in a broad variety of human cancer cell lines.
4:00 Applying Functional Genomics in Mouse Models of Human Cancer
Yejing Ge, Ph.D., Postdoctoral Fellow, Laboratory of Dr. Elaine Fuchs, Department of Mammalian Cell Biology and Development, Rockefeller University
Using skin as paradigm, we describe the first panoramic view of microRNAs during the development, homeostasis and malignant transformation of skin epithelium. We devised lentiviral microRNAs expression platform and conducted pooled in vivo functional screens for oncomiRs in mice. Empowered by mouse genetics and high throughput approaches, we unveiled a rich set of putative microRNAs that drive skin malignancy, and their oncogenic targets.
4:30 A CRISPR/Cas9 System to Increase Homologous Recombination Repair
Ciro Bonetti, Ph.D., Postdoctoral Scientist, Laboratory of Dr. Andrea Ventura, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center
CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing technology has been shown to be very effective to perform inactivation or activation of specific genes. However, engineering precise genomic modifications remains a challenge due to the low efficiency of repair of the double strand breaks through the homologous recombination pathway. Here, I will discuss a novel method to skew the repair away from non-homologous end-joining towards homologous repair pathway.

Oppositional Defiance Disorder
- Oppositional Defiance Disorder
- Autism
- Bipolar
- Anxiety
- Depression
Oppositional Defiance Disorder is one of the most common psychiatric conditions to coincide with ADHD. ODD can be a tricky condition to treat since medications are usually targeted at the underlying condition, such as ADHD, rather than the condition itself. On the other hand, therapy, parental interactions and environment are all key components of the successful treatment of Oppositional Defiance Disorder.

Skip to comments.Word For The Day, Tuesday, 9/17/02
Posted on 09/17/2002 4:59:40 AM PDT by RikaStrom
In order that we might all raise the level of discourse and expand our language abilities, here is the daily post of word for the day. Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the word of the day; in a sentence. The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day. The Review threads are linked for your edification. ;-) Practice makes perfect.....post on....
nescience /NESH-(ee-)uhn(t)s/, noun:
nescient; adjective, noun
nesciently; adverb
1. Lack of knowledge; ignorance.
2. Agnosticism.
3. Ignorance (especially of orthodox beliefs)
"Then since knowledge pertains to that which is and ignorance of necessity to that which is not, for that which lies between we must seek for something between nescience and science, if such a thing there be."
Etymology: Late Latin nescientia, from Latin nescient-, nesciens, present participle of nescire not to know, from ne- not + scire to know.Date: 1612
It was city and county officials who created the EIDC in the first place for the purpose of combating the problem of runaway productions. They're the ones who authorized the nonprofit corporation to collect the fees for local movie shoots, and they're the ones charged - by themselves - with overseeing the EIDC's operations.
Besides, even if local politicians shirked their duty to manage the EIDC, it's well known that they pay close attention to their campaign coffers. If they weren't around when the EIDC was cutting campaign checks, they certainly were there to cash those checks later, and that should have raised plenty of red flags.
CA corruption
This board so nesciently goes
Ooops, there's laws? What laws??
Oops, they did it again - Local pols plead ignorance of EIDC scandal
I have already, Run 4 miles (31 minutes), Lifted weights for another 45 minutes (no sissy weights either, Man size) Bench, 245 x 5, 265 x 5, 285 x 3, 245 x5, Curls, and other assorted body parts, been at the office 30 minutes, and been participating on other threads,
Oh,and did I say I got up at 04:30 ?
last night she tells the class, that her pet Peeve is Why we cant have Handgun Control in this country, I blurted out, Because the Constitution says so....LOL, she dropped the subject (though I hope not my grades.. ; )
I got up at 4:30 central time and i've ..uh.. uh.. posted the FR homeschoolers thread..uh.. lifted my coffee cup .. done a few notes.. and..uh.... BEAT YOU TO WFTD :)
I had the misfortune on both flights last week of sitting in front of liberal teachers. I was lucky that I didn't start a riot on the plane.

Today, June 4, 2009, I called the phone number next to each such charge shown on my credit cart statement: 888-243-6180, to inquire as to the origin and authorization of these charges.
a. The interactive voice response system asked me for my membership number, my home phone number or my credit card number to verify my account. As I recently moved, I provided my old home telephone number. In response, the IVR system said that the account related to that phone number was closed on August 1, 2008.
b. Then a customer service representative, Essence Number 153414, came on the line. I advised her that there were unauthorized charges appearing on my credit card statement. She again asked for my home number, and I provided the old number. In response, she stated that the account was under the name of my roomate, not mine. I then talked to my roommate who has no knowledge of shopping essentials, never authorized any account under such a company nor does she know how an account under her name would exist with my credit card number as we do not share credit accounts nor is she an authorized user on my Mastercard account.
c. Ms. Essence then transferred me to another customer service representative, Latoya Number 5152, who asked me for my credit card number to verify my account. When I asked why the credit card number was necessary when only my phone number was needed before, she stated that she now could not find the account by the phone number. I declined to provide the number and informed Ms. Latoya that I believed that these charges were fraudulent. Ms. Latoya then advised me to fax a letter with my concerns to shoppingessentials.com at 402-661-2515, Attn: Compliance. When I asked, she also provided a snail mail address of P.O. Box 5152, Des Plaines, IL 60017.
I both faxed a letter and mailed one to the company demanding that they stop charging me and refund all charges made so far...this is UNBELIEVABLE!!

Troy Aikman: Jerry Jones will 'pretty much accept everything' if player is productive
Troy Aikman said that Jerry Jones will "pretty much accept everything" from a player as long as he remains productive.
Troy Aikman said that Jerry Jones will "pretty much accept everything" from a player as long as he remains productive.
In terms of being successful at what they do, Troy Aikman would take the Kardashian family over the Washington Redskins any day of the week.
While some people feel that it is laughable that we are still talking about the amount of air pressure in a football, others like Troy Aikman feel the issue is not being taken seriously enough.
The personal life of former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Troy Aikman has suddenly been thrust into the public spotlight.
When Skip Bayless was working for The Dallas Morning News in the 1990s, he wrote a series of books about the most popular football team in America, the Dallas Cowboys.
Troy Aikman believes the Dallas Cowboys have an advantage over every team remaining in the playoffs at the quarterback position.
Former Washington Redskins defensive end Dexter Manley was banned from appearing on WTOP radio on Monday morning after he used a homophobic slur to describe Troy Aikman.
Troy Aikman should probably wait until he has a better grasp of how Twitter works before he starts trying to spit game to the ladies.

#1 REBUTTAL Owner of company
Simply not true
AUTHOR: Lamnia VPN - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Thursday, April 26, 2012POSTED: Thursday, April 26, 2012
I am sorry that this customer did not setup correctly ....I can assure you thousands have!! and it really is simple we have video tutorials showing step by step setup which can be done in less than a minute.
If this post is genuine I feel it is very harsh that they are tarnishing the name of our company due to their lack of computer skills.
We have operators manning live support for 18 hours a day. Come and visit and have a chat. If we were selling something false we would not make live real time chat with us so easily available.
I believe this report is false and malicious as it certainly does not match the other reviews and comments you can find all over the web about Lamnia.
We have started to collate these comments and they are on our website here. Don't just take our word for it they are all linked back to the original web source either forum, newspapers, The LA Times uses us to provide access to UK by VPN and have published an article stating how we work.
Which just makes a mockery of the above comment.
As you will see our reviews and comments are from World renown forums and websites; Apple!, Macrumours, Lonely Planet, Sports Websites, Expat Forums covering the globe and Newspapers, real people and companies using Lamnia, not totally unsupported comments by people with questionable agendas.
My final point that shows how ridiculous this comment is.......A VPN is a configuration not software. It is not some sort of program. You configure your computer to connect to our servers. Which probably explains why this customer thinks we didn't work as they did not even bother to read what a VPN is and the service we provide.
Please read our genuine reviews in the link above and see what real people say about our fully working service.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Did you not read the highlighted box that you checked before posting? Neither the OP's report, nor your rebuttal will be removed from this site. You specifically agreed to that when you posted (as did I).
Ripoff report and Google too! Do you often tell websites what they can and cannot carry on their servers? Does that often work?
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

If we are fake why do we offer a free trial
AUTHOR: Lamnia VPN - (United Kingdom)
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, October 19, 2011POSTED: Wednesday, October 19, 2011
We have traded since 2007 ( 2007 as SBA Media ) since 2008 as lamnia. Would we still be around if we were fake.
Our payment process is by Paypal and Google and has been since 2007. If we were fake would they still handle our payments.
Our Google page rank is 4 . Hardly the sign of a fraudulent company.
And most of all we offer a free trial. So you can check our services are for real before you buy.
I am shocked that you have published this report on your website without checking first. If you have any doubt sign up for a free trial and check our service works. Please remove this comment within the next 24 hours and delete from your servers. I also require you to contact Google and remove this url from their search and from your sitemap.

September 24, 2015 at 2:01 pm in Love & Sex by VN Editors
Spandex leggings, fingerless gloves, that guy with the spiky hair — sure, women make some questionable decisions, but no one's better-suited to writing honest vibrator reviews. Don't trust these intimate products to chance. Get vibrators reviews for women, by women, and get the real story behind all those sex toys to get beyond the advertising hype.
Female-powered vibrator reviews
Want to find the best vibrators for women? The best way to pre-shop for sex toys is to find out what other women have to say about them.
- Beanfiddler provides vibrator reviews and reviews of other sex toys, information about different lubricants and other information that helps women hone in on the appropriate products for them.
- OfSexandLove doesn't just stop at vibrator reviews. The site provides women with free giveaways, reviews of erotica and tons of other sexual information that encourages exploration. Some of the content may be a little racy for some, but no topic is off-limits.
- RealSexToyReviews is home to many certified reviewers that explore vibrators for women and other sex toys in great detail.
Vibrator use
Vibrator use is a doctor-recommended way to overcome some sexual problems and engage in a healthy, active sex life. Menopausal women commonly experience female dryness that leads to painful sex. Vibrators for women help to encourage natural lubrication and encourage foreplay between couples that can make sex enjoyable again. For single women, vibrator use will allow them to enjoy sex activity even when no partner is present.
It's important to remain sexually active during and after menopause. Vaginal muscles may atrophy, causing the vaginal walls to tighten and shrink. Sexual activity, even if it's through vibrator use, is a good way to avoid this potentially painful fate.
Vibrators for women
There's a wide world of vibrators for women out there. Vibrators are available in a wide range of styles, sizes and colors. Different technologies and materials go into the making of vibrators for women. Some are designed to unquestionably look like vibrators, complete with bells and whistles that include music, different speeds and other fun effects. Other vibrators for women are made to be discreet and secretive — an innocent-looking tube of lipstick that's really a quiet sex toy, for example.
Vibrators are available in sex-specific shops of course, but they may also be purchased very conveniently (and discreetly) online. Some vibrators are even being sold in drugstores. Sex today is matter-of-fact, and you should definitely get some of the facts before you go vibrator shopping. Good reviews help you find what you want much more quickly and easily.

|Jane Chance. Mythology of Power.
"With New Line Cinema's production of The Lord of the Rings film trilogy, the popularity of the works of J.R.R. Tolkien is unparalleled. Tolkien's books continue to be bestsellers decades after their original publication. An epic in league with those of Spenser and Malory, The Lord of the Rings trilogy, begun during Hitler's rise to power, celebrates the insignificant individual as hero in the modern world. Jane Chance's critical appraisal of Tolkien's heroic masterwork is the first to explore its "mythology of power"--That is, how power, politics, and language interact.

Battlestar Galactica (2003) : Season 4
- Network: Syfy
- Series Premiere Date: Dec 8, 2003
Critic Reviews
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
Never mind the feminine religious cult Baltar falls into in this premiere. Add that to the clue-packed promotional photograph circulating of the BSG cast mimicking "The Last Supper," and what began as a deep, dark sci-fi drama seems to be turning into an anti-Arthur C. Clarke religious tract.
Though Sci Fi only sent one Season 4 episode for review, it looks as though the prodigal pilot, as well as the rest of the Galactica crew, is in for a bumpy ride.
The series' brilliant conceit is that enemies are often sane and rational, and many good guys and gals are obsessed, flawed, and ruthless.
But of what actually happens, I will say no more. You'll have to watch it yourself. And you should.
The truth is that at this point, the complex subplots and nuances of all the backstories make it more satisfying for longtime fans than for recent drop-ins.
Riveting as ever, Battlestar Galactica proves again that sci fi doesn't have to be clap trap.
The premiere should please fans who consider Battlestar Galactica a landmark and entice newcomers to look at previous seasons on DVD.
To be honest, I'm weary of Baltar and his endless visions/hallucinations, as I am of the fleet's wandering as the surviving colonists try, somewhat fitfully, to find their way back to a home planet none of them remembers.
Only one thing is for certain: Even if you're skeptical of science fiction, Battlestar Galactica will make a true believer out of you.
There are many small and wonderful dramatic accomplishments in the underappreciated gem that is Battlestar Galactica, but perhaps the most enduring is that what was conceived of as an epic space adventure has turned into a finely detailed, intimate drama.
The multitude of exegeses and theories devoted to major plot twists and minor details attest to the series's enduring egghead appeal.
Thus begins the final season of a cerebral space opera that asks what it means to be human.
Simply put, the journey of Battlestar Galactica is one long, exhilarating headtrip.
Crisp and tense, this Sci Fi Channel staple looks destined to make a headlong plunge toward the finish line in pursuit of that elusive place called Earth.

Not enough imagination, too much space soap opera. The line between cylons and humans merge and there really is no difference. The contrast between machine and man from earlier seasons is lost. Everyone acts the same way. The mystery of the cylon is completely shredded by writers of the show. They show no characteristic of their condition or background. All Cylons act like they just walked out of an episode of a reality show in the year 2008. Maybe the show is running out of money, maybe the show want to reach more audience, but at least think first before making crap up on the spot.… Full Review »
May 25, 2013Judging this Third Season of Battlestar Galactica by the high standards of Seasons One and Two it is easy to view it as a slightJudging this Third Season of Battlestar Galactica by the high standards of Seasons One and Two it is easy to view it as a slight disappointment, particularly since it starts strongly following the last year's unexpected cliff-hanger.
Much of what made Battlestar so good for Two Seasons remains in place here. Refusing to pull its punches the opening episodes deal unflinchingly with the issues raised when an occupying force comes up against a determined local resistance (in a conflict that draws comparisons with the US occupation of Iraq). This strong storytelling combined with excellent performances from the cast and breathtaking combat scenes continues to make for fantastic viewing on plenty of occasions.
Where this series did falter however was in the increased focus on the Cylons. Season two had already done an excellent job of showing that they are not all the monsters we first believed them to be and Baltar's experiences aboard their ship, as well as often being unnecessary to the plot, came close to taking the show into your typical cliched sci-fi territory on more than one occasion and that has never been what Battlestar has been about.
Despite these mis-steps I can still highly recommend this Third season to anyone that has enjoyed the show so far and the many plot twists will keep viewers guessing throughout.… Full Review »

Philosophical, spiritual, beautiful, ugly, violent, and most of the time extremely well done. This series I believe ranks in the top 5 of The Wire, Sopranos, and Breaking Bad.

There are few wayward episodes that do not move the story forward, and some of the characters presences and acting are better than others, but believe this series fracking rocks.… Full Review »

Germany, Russia Angry; Not So Much in U.K., Poland
GM's decision to keep Opel and Vauxhall drew surprise and some dismay in Europe, as the U.S. car giant scrapped an on-again, off-again plan to sell its big European division to Canadian auto parts maker Magna International Inc. and Russia's OAO Sberbank. Germany was outraged after playing a central role in helping secure the deal. But reactions in other parts of Europe were mixed. Here's a rundown, compiled from Dow Jones Newswires, with staff data from the Associated Press.
Germany: Labor unions, caught off guard by GM's decision, announced that industrial action at Opel plants in Germany would begin Thursday. Economics Minister Rainer Bruederle said GM's conduct in reversing months of negotiations was "completely unacceptable." Germany's four Opel plants employ more than 25,000 of the 54,000 GM workers in Europe, and the loss of those jobs would spell political pain for Merkel's government.
Russia: Dmitry Peskov, a spokesman for Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin called the GM move "genuinely surprising," and the spurned bidders, Magna International and Sberbank, will scrutinize the legal basis for the pullout. Russian car maker OAO GAZ Group, controlled by billionaire Oleg Deripaska, was an industrial partner to the bid.
Poland: Polish Economy Minister Waldemar Pawlak said: "Prospects for GM in Gliwice [Poland] are now much better because the American owner appreciates the company's efficiency." Trade unions at Opel in Gliwice, southern Poland, had earlier expressed concern that the future of the plant may fall victim to politics if the Opel's plants were sold to Magna and Sberbank. Opel employs 2,500 workers in Poland.
Spain: The Spanish government last month helped broker an agreement between Magna and unions over auto parts maker's plans to restructure Opel's Spanish operations. Spain's Industry Minister Miguel Sebastian said the deal made with Magna was the minimum the Spanish government would accept for Opel's restructuring, and said the Spanish government would defend the Opel factories in Spain and its workers. Opel employs 6,000 workers in Spain.
U.K.: "This is an incredible turnaround from General Motors," said Tony Woodley, head of the Unite union. "It is fantastic news for the U.K. and right that General Motors does not break up its family and instead retains ownership of Vauxhall." U.K. has two plants with 5,500 workers building cars under the Vauxhall brand. More.

Welcome to another episode of BB Creamology!
The first episode featured a couple of Western BB creams. Today, I'm going to do mini reviews of more Asian BB creams instead. I've always preferred Asian BB creams to Western ones because I think they work better for Asian skin. Having said that, one of my favourite BB creams does belong to a Western brand so I guess you can't judge BB creams by, er, culture. 😛
The BB creams I'll be writing about today are only available in Asia at the moment. You can also get them online from Asian beauty e-tailers or eBay (please only go for reputable sellers with high ratings. Personally, I don't buy from sellers who have less than 99% in ratings).
- Shade: #2 (Natural Beige). It comes in two shades, #1 being the lighter shade. Warm undertones. Matches my skintone perfectly.
- Texture: Pudding (no really, it does feel like pudding! Chocolate pudding to be precise. Yum!).
- Fragrance: Citrus, like a tub of oranges
- Wet-To-Dry Time: Quick to dry upon application. Dries to a matte finish
- Coverage: Medium, buildable
- Sun Protection Factor: SPF20 PA+++
- Price: Retails at RM52.90 in Malaysia (approximately $17). You can get them cheaper online; prices start from $12
- Availability: Skinfood stores (unfortunately these aren't readily available in Australia), Asian beauty stores, eBay.
Estee Lauder CyberWhite Brilliant Cells Extra Intensive BB Creme
- Shade: It has only one shade. Pinky beige with cool undertones.
- Texture: Creamy
- Fragrance: Slightly sunscreen-y, but not strong enough to be repulsive
- Wet-To-Dry Time: This BB cream took longest to dry out of the three. Dries to a slightly dewy finish
- Coverage: Medium, buildable
- Sun Protection Factor: SPF35 PA+++
- Price: Retails at RM175 in Malaysia (approximately $55).
- Availability: Estee Lauder counters in Asia, eBay
- Shade: Available in 2 shades, Natural and Medium Beige. I can't remember which one mine is (can't seem to tell from the description at the back of the bottle). I think it's the lighter one though. Warm undertones. Blends with my skintone very well.
- Texture: Thick and creamy. Spreads well and thinly
- Fragrance: Similar to Estee Lauder's. Also slightly sunscreen-y
- Wet-To-Dry Time: Quick to dry upon application. Dries to a semi-matte finish
- Coverage: Medium to semi-full.
- Sun Protection Factor: SPF41 PA+++
- Price: Averages about $20 online
- Availability: Asian beauty stores, eBay
I picked up the Estee Lauder BB cream whilst flying 30,000 feet in the air over a year ago. I tried it out in Malaysian Estee Lauder counters, thought it was okay but wasn't sure if I wanted to get it because it was very expensive for a BB cream. Whaddyaknow, up in the air, sensibility got thrown to the wind (excuse the pun). I still think it's only just okay. It's not bad, but it could be better. Heck for the price, I expected a lot more.
The Freshel Mineral BB Cream UV reminds me more of a foundation than BB cream. The coverage is excellent yet doesn't feel heavy or sticky on the skin. When I want more coverage on my skin without it looking cakey especially on the nasolabial lines, this is the BB cream I'd go for.
The Skinfood Orange Jelly BB was a gift from Jyoan (thanks Jyoan!). It's something I've seen in pictures but as there aren't any Skinfood outlets in Australia, I didn't get to see it in real life. I really like this BB cream. In fact, it's more of a BB jelly because when you skim your finger across the surface, it bounces like jelly! I like how light it feels on the skin yet giving me enough coverage for the skin to look naturally good. The Skinfood Orange Jelly BB is my favourite of the three.
I'll be doing another review on 3 more BB creams soon. I might jump ahead to CC creams first and then go back to BBs. Aww man, too many products, not enough skin!
Have you tried any of these BB creams before? Your thoughts? Yay or nay?

No word yet on fate of Michelle Shocked show at Madison bar
Michelle Shocked's May 4 show in Madison - the last remaining gig on her tour, after anti-gay comments at a concert over the weekend led the rest of the venues to cancel the alt-folk singer's shows - is still on, at least for now.
The Capitol Times in Madison reports that the Harmony Bar in Madison is waiting to make a final decision on the show until the bar's owner, Keith Daniels, returns from an out-of-town vacation late next week. »Read Full Article

Discover Beijing, the Forbidden City, the Great Wall, Terracotta warriors, cave temples at Datong, Tiger Leaping Gorge, Guilin, Yangshuo, pandas, the Yangtze, Shanghai and lots more.
Get off to a good start planning your holiday to China with our guide to travelling to and getting around China.
eg Pyramids, tigers, Angkor Wat etc
I was delighted with both my tour and our guides. The entire trip exceeded my expectations. One of the many winning features of an On The Go trip is the easy, relaxed and reassuring manner with which the guides dealt with any unexpected occurrences. I particularly enjoyed the schedule as there was a superb balance throughout the trip which allowed us as a group to see everything whilst also giving us free time to enjoy places on our own but always with the safe knowledge that Feng was never far away. I cannot recommend this tour enough for anyone who wants to travel with the very best tour operator available today."
We had an fantastic trip. The accommodations were very nice and the transportation was comfortable. The information we received from On The Go Tours before the trip was very helpful and prepared us for what we needed.
Our Tour Guide (Feng) was the very best part of the trip. Our luggage was delayed for 5 days due to the Air Carrier. However, it would have been so much worse had not Feng intervened. She went way above any normal help. She personally made the arrangements so that when our luggage arrived in Beijing it was immediately put aboard another aircraft and sent to the city we were in. Then she arranged to have it sent to our hotel. She also was a wealth of information about China. All the guides spoke excellent English, friendly and eager to answer questions. We will definitely be using On The Go Tours again."
I loved every minute of this trip. The friend I was going to travel with had to cancel at the last minute due to a death in the family, but Stephanie was fantastic, always making sure I was ok. Stephanie's knowledge of Chinese history was amazing. I will travel with again with On The Go tours and will be sure to recommend to family and friends. "

Doctors have gotten better at saying no to antibiotics when patients have viral ailments, but researchers wanted to tackle a different aspect of the nation's overprescribing problem: giving the wrong antibiotic to patients with bacterial infections.
Antibiotics don't work against viruses, although many parents still want them. They do work against bacteria. Yet doctors often prescribe powerful broad-spectrum antibiotics when a drug that only kills a few bugs will do.
Infectious-disease specialists want doctors to save the strongest antibiotics for the toughest bacteria. The goal is to keep potentially deadly germs from develop- ing resistance to our most effective weapons against them. Broad-
