Any male leads that are;
a) overly self-involved
b) lack altruism
c) worry about their "feelings"
d) generally think that they're the navel of the universe
and the big one for me;
e) are emotionally abusive to girls.
Some of them act like getting hit on by a cute chick is the most offensive thing that's ever happened to them.
Onegai Teachers Kei is a prime example, as is DearS's Takeya, Eva's Shinji, Vandred's Hibiki and Final Approach's Ryo. I absolutely loathe those four.
I don't mind nice neutered doormat's like Girls Bravo's Yukinari or Love Hina's Keitaro, nor do I mind horn dog's like Amaenaide Yo!'s Ikko or H2's Hiro.
It's the guy's who act like self absorbed 15 year old emo wuss boys that I really hate.
Anime females on the other hand can behave as despicably as they want for all I care, as long as their hot, I'll forgive them. I wanna marry Haruhi

I particularly dislike the "perverted father" characters, probably because I'm a single father with a teen-aged daughter. Right at the top of the list is the father in Kashimashi - Girl Meets Girl. Rather than being in shock that his son has been converted into a girl by an alien spacecraft, he wants to jump in the bathtub with her at every opportunity. I stopped bathing with my daughter when she was about five. If he's that hard up for seeing naked young women, he should just go buy a magazine already. His wife should have sent him packing around episode three or four.
The father in FLCL also has these tendencies, but he's not married and not trying to molest his own child. In his situation I'd probably sleep with Haruko myself if the oppotunity presented itself, just as long as she left that guitar in another room.

This is going back a ways but my least favorite anime character ever is Hikaru from Kimagure Orange Road. Her voice, her personality--everything about her made me spend all 48 episodes hoping she'd get run over by a cement truck. I think I remember reading that even Robert Woodhead (the CEO of Animeigo, who released KOR in North America), said he couldn't stand her...

Forgot to mention Asuka Langley Soryu from EVA... my god, i wanted her to fall in some deep pit and stay there since the ep she was introduced. Each time she opened her foul mouth i felt like punching the screen. Spoiled brat with oversized ego problems and mouth big enough to let the whole world know about it. Bleh.

It's a LOOONG list. Mostly cause I hate every cliche character from harem animes. Those annoying girls, with ear-bleeding high pitched voices, yelling "Oniichan" about a million times per episode. Those with serious oniichan complex that get jealous of every female orbiting their oniichan.
Example: Elis from Canvas2...you probably know a thousand more where she came from, so you get my point.

Elis is one of my favorite female characters She is one of the best developed characters i have seen, and the Elis we see at the end of the series is nothing like Elis from the start. I didn't like her much from the start either, but she had some impressive character development, which in the end turned her in to one of my favorites

I don't really 'hate' any anime character. But if there is one that I really don't care for is Kagome from Inuyasha, I find her to be overly offensive to Inuyasha on even the small things. She also should try to understand that he has feelings for Kikyo still. Sorry to any Kagome fans though, don't mean any offense to anyone.

Nina is a lesbian, and an ignorant bimbo. A creature of pity or perhaps peculiar tastes, not hate. There are a lot of people who are rather racist or whatnot. Suzaku is an existential anomaly, a dark hole of logic that cannot be pierced by even the rays of ten thousand suns. Even his face is annoying, since he has that Kira Yamato look on his mug every fricking time, might as well wear a "slap me i'm an idiot" poster on his forehead if he keeps that "I pity thee, world" look all the time.
Anyway, another type of character I do not really like is the submissive girl type who plays third wheel to the people who actually do stuff. Examples include

I really hate Hamilton(don't remember his first name; Lily's dad) from Gargoyle of the Yoshinaga's. There really nothing that can be said to defend him and the actions he's taken(up to where I've watched the series at least(ep 7) ).
I wish they'd just kill him off.

Banana Pudding Pie
38 comments :
Mmmm This sounds great! I love bananas! This is my kind of pie!!ReplyDelete
I love banana pudding and often make it with coconut milk! This pie sounds fantastic!ReplyDelete
Yeah for the pie. I would love to see more of them this year. Yours sounds yummy. My kiddos would have it gone in no time at all.ReplyDelete
My dad would be in love, this is his all time favorite pie!ReplyDelete
Double Yum!!! I love banana pudding and yours look so so good!ReplyDelete
Your pie looks so good, just perfect for National Pie Day1 You can lightly dip your bananas in lemon juice or orange juice, which helps the bananas from turning brown. Or did you do that?ReplyDelete
Becky - no I don't dip the bananas in any kind of acid. My friend told me to crush up a powdered vitamin C tablet and sprinkle that over them so that way you don't get any cross-flavoring. But I still haven't tried that yet either. And to be honest, this pie is usually completely eaten before those suckers have a chance to turn brown. lolReplyDelete
I'm going to need to plan to make a pie now! I'm definitely in the whipped cream camp too!ReplyDelete
Hello dear,ReplyDelete
I have little blog award for you at my blog..come when you find time!
You really are trying to make me nostalgic aren't you?!? My Grandma made a pie very similar to this when I was growing up. Ah the food memories...ReplyDelete
It looks really lovely and sounds delicious..ReplyDelete
It totally is the combination of all those flavors that works magicaly on us all! Thank you for sharing :)ReplyDelete
I keep hearing the same thing too about pies, they tried to make it whoppie pies but that didn't work. I don't think cupcakes are going away, and pies have always been popular, but I guess its up to us to kick them up a few notches....it should be fun!ReplyDelete
I know that banana pudding pie looks like it would be fun to eat!! I do love banana pudding!
I read that about pie being the new cupcake and I couldn't be happier! My daughter is a big banana fan, this would do it for her! Love it!ReplyDelete
i don't think cupcakes will disappear anytime soon but pies are welcomed anytime.ReplyDelete
since today is pie day I may bake one when i wake up later today.
yours look delicious.
thanks for sharing, hope you're having a wonderful weekend
WOWSA...does that look great. My dad is a huge banana pudding fan. I'll have to save this recipe for his next visit :)ReplyDelete
I don't think I have ever sought out a homemade banana pudding pie. Mmmmm, it looks so good and I appreciate you taking the time to make this from scratch. Most people would just by the flavored mix and call it good. Great Job!ReplyDelete
I KNOW my hubby would love this...it's been eons since I've made his favorite banana cream pie! I may just have to surprise him with this soon :)ReplyDelete
Banana pudding pie? It just doesn't get any better than that. yum! My mom used to make this wonderful banana pie for Easter than had lemon juice of some sort in it. I don't know if she dipped the banana slices into lemon juice or what...haven't thought of it in years....but it was a cross between a banana pudding pie and a lemon icebox pie. It was soooo good. I was going to be good today and make banana muffins...now I'm not so sure! Great recipe! I don't think we've seen the last of the cupcakes but you gotta a love a good pie, right? Thanks for stopping by to see me and encouraging me today! This pie might just blow that smoothie out of the water. haha CandaceReplyDelete
I am really happy to hear that pie will be the "thing" this year. Pie is way better than cake in my book.ReplyDelete
Banana cream pie reminds me of my childhood. It is the only dessert that my Dad makes but he does 2-3 layers of whole vanilla wafers, pudding, bananas and whipped cream. I think he would LOVE this!
"Pies will be the new cupcake" - it sounds like a prophecy :). This banana pudding pie looks amazing!ReplyDelete
Looks fabulous.ReplyDelete
I LOVE banana pudding (but I'm kind of picky on what constitutes good banana pudding). :) This pie looks amazing! I'm definitely with you in the whipped cream camp, and to serve this up in pie form sounds absolutely delightful! I can't wait to try it!ReplyDelete
What a perfect combination! Looks wonderful and yummy...ReplyDelete
Yummy, I love bananas. Thanks for the recipe!ReplyDelete
Wow this sounds and looks delicious!ReplyDelete
Sounds delish! I LOVE banana pudding, especially the homemade kind w/ a good old fashioned custard! Too bad I'd be the only one in the house to eat it :-( None of my boys like banana pudding, even though they love bananas! I guess I should be glad, since it's the healthier option, but oh what they're missing....ReplyDelete
Maybe for my next potluck...
That pie definitely wouldn't last long in our house. Amazing!ReplyDelete
This sounds so yummy! I love banana pudding. I like it both ways...meringue or whipped cream. But I'd have to say the whipped cream is my favorite! Thanks for sharing this recipe. I'll have to give it a try sometime. I know my kids will love it.ReplyDelete
If you put this Banana Pudding Pie with you Beef tips and gravy that's a great meal. I sure am happy that you brought all this wonderful food to Full Plate Thursday. Thank you so much for coming today!ReplyDelete
I've been making this recipe for quite a while now and it is wonderful! I'm a meringue person myself, although I have been known to eat cool whip on occasion.ReplyDelete
Yum, a pie like this is always a classic. Thanks for linking this up to Sweets for a Saturday. I hope you'll be able to join in again.ReplyDelete
This is a southern favorite and definitely one of mine. Your recipe looks fantastic.ReplyDelete
Oh I would blow my diet for this!!!ReplyDelete
THIS RECIPE SOUNDS GREAT.YOU TALKED ABOUT USING THE WHITES AS A MERINGUE AND I WOULD LIKE TO TRY THAT. AFTER WHIPPING THEM WITH SUGAR WOULD YOU SUGGEST PUTTING IT IN A HOT OVEN LIKE A BAKED ALASKA?JUST LEARNED ABOUT YOUR SITE AND I LOVE IT.THANK YOUReplyDelete
Hi Beth! I suppose you could do that. Most folks just whip up a meringue (nice & high) and slather it on top as is. :)ReplyDelete
- AnonymousMarch 21, 2013 at 2:28 AM
I can't wait to try this Banana Pudding Pie. My mouth is watering already! I'll let ya know how it turns out. It will definitely be a part of the Easter dinner dessert table!ReplyDelete
Just when I thought homemade Banana Pudding couldn't get any better, this comes along! I made it last night though slightly modified using what I had on hand, and it was scrumptious!! I didn't have enough vanilla wafers for the pie and the crust so I used a large (2-extra-serving size) graham cracker crust... not as good as the wafer one would have been, but it worked out well. And, it fit perfectly inside my 9" pie plate! Thanks for the great recipe, I'll make it again and again.ReplyDelete

Stroring Word Documents into MYSQL Database

Word documents are only binary data: you should be able to store them as BLOBs in an SQL database... I don't use Hibernate though, so can't suggest anything there. This is probably better off in the JDBC forum. If you want Web app advice, try the Servlets or JSP forums - as a hint, you'll want to use a form (probably HTML or JSP) with HTTP POST and a servlet to receive the POST data.

Charles suggestion is correct. We use BLOBs to store PDF documents but to ORACLE instead of MYSQL. I'm not sure Hibernate can handle BLOB data though I have very little experience with it. And CRUDing BLOBs usually is not as simple as INSERT, SELECT, UPDATE and DELETE. So I too would suggest plain JDBC.

The Philosophy department at UCLA admits graduate students for the PhD program only, entering in Fall Quarter. The Department restricts admission to students whose records and credentials give evidence of capacity and resolve to do superior work in philosophy at the graduate level. A substantial background in philosophy is desirable, though we recognize that many students acquire their interest in graduate study in philosophy without having completed the equivalent of an undergraduate major in the field; exceptionally promising students with such a background may be admitted, subject to the condition of strengthening their preparation in the deficient area as soon as possible. Applications from women and members of minority groups are strongly encouraged.
The application process consists of three steps.
Step 1: Submit online application, fees, and other forms to the Graduate Division. (For further information, see the Graduate Division's admissions website here.)
Step 2: Upload the following supplemental materials:
Step 3: Mail official transcripts from each institution attended to the following address:
UCLA Department of Philosophy ATTN: Graduate Advisor 321 Dodd Hall 405 Hilgard Ave.Los Angeles, CA 90095
or email official electronic transcripts to
You can opt only to upload a scanned copy of your transcript. However, the department may later request that official copies to be sent upon review of your application. Offers of admission cannot be finalized until official transcripts have been received. Unsealed transcripts handled by a student are no longer considered official.
For information about receiving a Fee Waiver please see https://grad.ucla.edu/admissions/research-requirements/.
The deadline for receipt of the application and all supporting materials is JANUARY 10, 2016. Applications not complete by the deadline cannot be guaranteed full consideration.
Applicants can view the status of their materials online at http://www.gdnet.ucla.edu/gasaa/admissions/applicat.htm by clicking "Application Status." Due to the high volume of materials received, your application may not be updated immediately.
(Please note: The University will be closed approximately from December 24, 2015 and will reopen Monday, January 4, 2016. The department will process mail received during the holiday closure the first weeks of January.)
The GRE should be taken no later than the December test date. Transcripts from domestic institutions should be requested at least one month in advance; those who have studied at foreign universities should consult the "Application for Graduate Admission" for specific information required on their transcripts from those schools.
Specific program requirements can be found here. The UCLA GENERAL CATALOG is available online here.
We also strongly encourage you to apply for extramural funding. The following websites feature links to fellowship databases and other useful information:

It's too bad they didn't simply specify the interface to a function you could provide. (Well, they may, but a brief review of the docs didn't make that obvious to me.)

European Network for the Study of Orphan Nephropathies
Coordinator: Olivier DEVUYST
Project Number: 201590
EC contribution: 2,990,000.00
Project website: http://www.eunefron.org/
In this proposal, we have mobilized a critical mass of expertise to investigate, on a Europe-wide scale, the natural history and pathophysiology of rare inherited diseases affecting important structures of the kidney. The project will use and develop multiple models (in vitro and in vivo) with the aim to develop preventive, diagnostic and therapeutic interventions that should alleviate the burden of these diseases, particularly in children. A central part of the proposal is the creation of a European registry and a network of genetic laboratories to foster a tight interaction between physicians and researchers, promote clinical and basic research, and ensure the efficient dissemination of knowledge. By increasing our knowledge of these rare diseases, the EUNEFRON project will also yield new insights into basic processes relevant for the general population (progression of renal disease, blood pressure control, prevention of renal stones, effect of gender and ageing, etc ), the complex relationship between different nephron segments, and the multi-systemic involvement of renal diseases.

O'Mahony, Conor; Burns, Kenneth; Parkes, Aisling; Shore, Caroline In Ireland, the Constitution guarantees very strong rights to parents and the family, and there has been a long and unfortunate history of failures to adequately protect children at risk. As a result, there has been much discussion in recent years about the need to improve legal mechanisms designed to protect the rights of children. By comparison, little attention has been given to establishing whether the theoretically strong rights of parents translate into strongly protected rights in practice. This paper presents new empirical evidence on the manner in which child care proceedings in Ireland balance the rights and interests of children and parents, including the rates at which orders are granted, the frequency of and conditions in which legal representation is provided, and the extent to which parents are able to actively participate in proceedings. A number of systemic issues are identified that restrict the capacity of the system to emphasise parental rights and hear the voice of parents to the extent that would be expected when looking at the legal provisions in isolation. 2016-05-02T00:00:00Z Uncomfortable 'truths' and the centenary anniversary of the 1916 Rising in Ireland http://hdl.handle.net/10468/2853 Uncomfortable 'truths' and the centenary anniversary of the 1916 Rising in Ireland Ó hAdhmaill, Féilim How to deal with uncomfortable 'truths' from the past has long posed problems for historians and politicians alike and this is exemplified by attempts to 'deal with' the centenary anniversary of the 1916 Easter Rising in Ireland. How do we recognise the revolutionary 'heroes' of the past and their contribution to the building of the new 'nation' state to which we may pledge allegiance, without exposing the contradictions inherent in the way that 'nation' state has transformed, subverted and indeed corrupted many of the ideas for which they fought? More controversially, how do we honour the actions of revolutionaries in the past which led to death and destruction in pursuance of a grand ideal, while at the same time condemning others today who claim to have been likewise engaged, using similar methods, during the recent 'Troubles' (1969-98 and counting)? Attempts by the Irish state to deal with the centenary seem to illustrate the point. 2016-05-01T00:00:00Z Child care proceedings in non-specialist courts: the experience in Ireland http://hdl.handle.net/10468/2607 Child care proceedings in non-specialist courts: the experience in Ireland O'Mahony, Conor; Burns, Kenneth; Parkes, Aisling; Shore, Caroline It is widely accepted that court proceedings concerning child protection are a particularly sensitive type of court proceedings that warrant a different approach to other types of proceedings. Consequently, the use of specialized family or children's judges or courts is commonplace across Europe and in common law jurisdictions. By contrast, in Ireland, proceedings under the Child Care Act 1991 are heard in the general courts system by judges who mostly do not specialize in child or family law. In principle, the Act itself and the associated case law accept that the vulnerability of the parties and the sensitivity of the issues involved are such that they need to be singled out for a different approach to other court proceedings. However, it is questionable whether this aspiration has been realized in a system where child care proceedings are mostly heard in a general District Court, using the same judges and the same physical facilities used for proceedings such as minor crime and traffic offences. This article draws on the first major qualitative analysis of professional perspectives on child care proceedings in the Irish District Court. It examines evidence from judges, lawyers, social workers, and guardians ad litem and asks whether non-specialist courts are an appropriate venue for proceedings on an issue as complex and sensitive as child protection, or whether the establishment of specialist family courts with dedicated staff and facilities provides a better solution. 2016-04-15T00:00:00Z Just for Dads: a groupwork programme for fathers http://hdl.handle.net/10468/2459 Just for Dads: a groupwork programme for fathers Jenkinson, Hilary; Casey, Dermot; Monahan, Lynda; Magee, Denis Just for Dads is a groupwork programme which was initiated and developed in Cork, Ireland arising out of a collaboration between Tusla/Springboard Family Support Project, Knocknaheeny/Farranree, in Cork and the School of Applied Social Studies, University College Cork. It is aimed at engaging with fathers around developing relationships with their children and was conceived out of an awareness gained through practice, research and experience of the limitations and challenges of effectively engaging men in family services. It consists of a ten week groupwork programme which highlights how important dads are to their children's development and provides opportunities for men to explore and develop their fathering role in a supportive, non-judgemental environment. Just for Dads is designed for use with all men in fathering roles, including biological, step, foster, grandparents, and social fathers. Since its inception in 2014, the initiative has been developed, cyclically implemented, and independently evaluated. 2016-04-01T00:00:00Z

Rated 5 out of 5 by Sonya M Food was excellent waitress was wonderful Apr 15, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5 by jen c Joel was a great bartender Jan 24, 2016
Rated 2 out of 5 by Jessica C The bar is nice. Has a lounge feel. I was disappointed in the food. I did not realize that the Samuel Adams Grill is located inside the Holiday Inn. They do not have their own kitchen. They place the order through the hotel kitchen. The food is then delivered as if it was going to room service and the bartender brings it over. The menu and description are misleading. The food was not bad for hotel kitchen food but definitely not what we were expecting. We ordered nachos as an appetizer, chicken fingers and fries (frozen and deep fried) and my husband had a burger that was a bit too charred on the outside. Jan 13, 2016

March 12, 2008 | Last week, Helicos BioSciences announced that it had shipped its first $1.35 million single-molecule DNA sequencing instrument to a company called Expression Analysis in North Carolina. Kristen Stoops, Helicos' director of bioinformatics, is building a federation of IT vendors to identify best practices that will help users manage the inevitable torrents of data they will be generating. She offered Bio-IT World's Kevin Davies a glimpse of how those plans are progressing.
Bio-IT World: The HeliScope comes with an impressive computer server or Analysis Engine. Why did you decide to go that route?
Stoops: There were a couple of motivations behind providing such a powerful box for image analysis and primary analysis of the data. Number one, the HeliScope Single Molecule Sequencer is very image-intensive in its technology for generating sequences. We'll produce about 5 terabytes (TB) of image data per day, which presents a daunting challenge from a storage perspective, and the perspective of moving the data from the instrument to external storage. So one of the things we're doing is to limit the amount of data our customers themselves have to store…
[Second,] the HeliScope Analysis Engine is a very high-performance image analysis platform and server that does the image analysis on the fly (and will delete those images as part of the process), and store a digital representation of those images in an object table, which is roughly 1/10 the size of the full image pack.
Every object in every image is represented in the object table. If you wanted to, you could recreate the images from the object table... We strip out all the background, we're not saving that, but we are saving every object that we detect, then when we do our base calling, we apply some smart algorithms to figure out if something is an artifact or a real base. From there, we go ahead and form actual sequence data...
We also store one percent of diagnostic images that we will save and make available to customers. Those diagnostic images represent random sets of fields of view for each of our channels on our flow cells. So if one of our customers wanted to do their own image analysis, base calling and strand formation, they could test their own algorithms against those diagnostic images, because it does represent a full stack of images from between 10 and 20 fields of view per channel.
The 5 TB data is a full image stack. So for a HeliScope Sequencer run that represents seven days, that's 35 TB data. So we'll save about one percent, or 350 GB data, far more tractable from a storage and management standpoint than something that is two orders of magnitude higher... It will also allow us to troubleshoot anything that went on during the run that we didn't expect.
How much data can the Analysis Engine store?
Stoops: Another efficiency we've tried to build into the Analysis Engine is enough data storage for a minimum of two full runs worth of data. That's full runs, minus the full image stack -- [i.e.] The diagnostic images, the one percent, the object table, the sequence data, and log files. That's the information that actually gets stored on the Analysis Engine on a run-by-run basis that customers have access to...
We want people to be able to run the instrument with end-to-end runs, one right after another. So if you start a run, the data from that first run gets stored on the HeliScope Sequencer, and is completing processing while you start another run, and start saving that data onto the data store on the Analysis Engine. Before you start the third run, you take the data from the first run off the instrument, and delete that date from the Analysis Engine, thereby freeing up enough space to start the third run. So it makes it possible to run the instrument almost continuously...
There is a few hours of strand formation after the end of a run... Then you've got to pull the data off the HeliScope Instrument. That takes on the order of hours -- it is a lot of data.
How will you be helping customers manage all this data?
Stoops: We believe there are a lot of resources in the commercial and academic community that, if brought together effectively and in a tailored way for our system, can provide a lot of value. So we're working with companies like BioTeam and GenomeQuest and a host of other vendors whose technologies can help mitigate the challenges of managing these data.
One of my challenges is to bring together a partner program of vendors whose technologies will help mitigate these challenges. This includes hardware vendors, networking technology, high-performance computing vendors, systems integrators, bioinformatics developers, and basic IT infrastructure companies, LIMS vendors, whose tools in an integrated way can support the pipeline needed to deal and analyze these large amounts of data...
I believe that to go out and just partner ad hoc and present those individual solutions is going to be a lot less helpful than working with a core group of best-of-breed partners, who integrate their technologies together to form a pipeline, which can then be validated at Helicos in the context of our own research collaborations. Then we can take that solution -- a full HeliScope IT pipeline -- from these various vendors out to the community as a model for what we know works from our own internal research...
It isn't intended to be an exclusive kind of partner program at all. We'd welcome other vendors coming in, and would work with them to develop other models that might suit different types of customers. It's really one step beyond the solution-based partnerships that one sees in the life sciences/IT space. But one that is a solution around an entire instrument... If a customer had to do this on their own, it would be very time-consuming, very expensive, and probably at the expense of running the instrument to do their own research. It makes much more sense for us to do this and to be able to make those recommendations to customers.
How are those vendor partner discussions going?
Stoops: Those conversations have been around understanding the capabilities of their technology and how well suited they are to what we want to do. [I'm] presenting this idea to them, assessing their interest... It's pretty self-evident that the market is there and there is a business opportunity associated with next-gen platforms. So that part of partnering has already taken care of itself. But [I'm] gauging their buy-in and trying to understand which partners would work best together... I've talked to a number of partners in all these different areas, and have a pretty good list in mind. Once we have instruments in house running research collaborations, we can really put this to work.
Is your goal to name preferred partners or solutions for these IT and computational needs?
Stoops: This isn't about naming exclusive types of partners for our system. It's about validating this system, and there may be others. There will always be advances in technology that we'll want to keep abreast of. There are so many different factors in choosing the right storage environment. Today, one of the big drivers in choosing hardware are energy costs. You really have to understand the data lifecycle -- how many people need to access data? How frequently? How quickly can the data be moved into persistent, less-expensive storage, and then into archival storage mode?
I've recently talked to our first client about their storage needs and it does require some effort on their part to think about who is going to use the data, and how it needs to be moved through various levels of access and storage. This isn't anything new; people have been thinking about these data lifecycle systems for a while, and there are products to help. But I don't' know how much thought has been given to it in the life sciences, and next-gen sequencing is new. So there's an opportunity to apply a lot of things from technology in other industries to this problem.
What kind of data come off the Analysis Engine?
Stoops: In the interests of supporting standard formats, we've adopted the Short-Read Format as the HeliScope output. This format was developed by a workgroup started by people in the research and genome center community, including Sanger, as well as vendors of the short-read platforms, and is gaining adoption. It's been adopted as the standard for the 1000 genomes project. NCBI has adopted it as the submission format for the short read archive. It all goes back to our belief in openness, and our open-source strategy, and open format where nothing is hidden from the user. Adopting the SRF standard fits very nicely with our strategy for openness.
Do you think potential customers have under-appreciated or are ill-prepared for the data deluge associated with next-gen platforms?
Stoops: [We've] heard cautionary notes from people who have experience with next-generation sequencers, effectively saying, "If you're not ready to accept the full challenge associated with analyzing the data, maybe you'd better think about having a genetic analysis service organization generate and do primary analysis of the data for you, because there really is a lot to take on."
I don't mean to sound flippant here, but speed every step of the way in dealing with this is going to be key in mitigating the data management challenges. Speed with efficacy -- storing data, getting data off the instrument into a storage system, doing it in a manner that is lossless and not sacrificing speed for interruptions in data. Speed with which you can access the data. If you're a user, do you have the right data structures to support pulling out the data you need and just the data you need? Do you have the right tools to analyze the data and get the biology out of these sequences? Understanding just how much of the sequence data you need to accomplish your research goals but not overwhelm the whole data management pipeline.
We can look back to microarrays as an example of data analysis and data management becoming a bottleneck. That's something that is an even greater challenge with next-gen technologies because of the amount of data. And as fast as Moore's Law is working to support us, we're still eclipsing it in our ability to generate sequence data.

Queensland Rugby's 130th anniversary is a celebration of the wider Rugby community.
This section features a brief history of the Premier Grade clubs.
We are currently requesting information and history on all 200 Queensland Rugby clubs. We will continue to upload information and stories on all our Queensland clubs over the year as we receive information from the clubs and Rugby supporters.
Brothers Football Club
Since forming in 1905, Brothers Football Club has produced 83 Internationals (including 67 Wallabies & 1 Kangaroo), 214 Queensland players and has won 27 Brisbane "A" Grade premierships (26 QRU, 1 BRL). Among the list of notables produced by the Brothers' Club are six Wallaby captains, JP "Jimmy" Flynn, Des Connor, Paul McLean, Anthony Shaw, Rod McCall and John Eales as well as one Kangaroo captain in Tom Gorman.
University Rugby Club
The University of Queensland Rugby Football Club was established in 1911 and throughout its proud history has won 29 'A' Grade titles including 27 QRU Premierships and two BRL (Brisbane Rugby League) Premierships. University has nurtured many players on their way to further rugby honours, with 210 players going on to represent Queensland and 66 to the Wallabies, 9 as captain. Past players including Norbert Byrne, David Crombie, Dick Marks, Leo Williams, Paul McNicholl and David Usasz have also made a mark on the game with their time served on the Board of the Queensland Rugby Union.
Easts Football Club
In 1947, the Queensland Rugby Union started an Old Boys Competition for past students of G.P.S. schools. One of the teams was the Brisbane State High School Old Boys. This team became known as Colts in 1948 and finally in 1949, the club assumed the name Eastern Districts. Today the club is known as Easts Rugby Union. Representative players from Easts include Ben Mowen, Richard Graham, Andrew Walker and David Wilson.
Sunnybank Rugby Club
Sunnybank Rugby Union Club was founded in 1969 as a junior Rugby Union club, in southern Brisbane. In 1975, Sunnybank expanded from being solely a junior club with the introduction of an Under 19s side in that year. The club then proceeded to field its first senior team in 1979, with a team playing in the Sub-Districts Competition. The club was finally promoted to First Grade status in 1989. In 1993, Sunnybank made its first appearance in a First Grade Grand Final. Sunnybank Rugby Union Club has hosted a number of international players including, David Giffin, Greg Holmes, Rodney Blake, Digby Ioane, Rob Simmons, Ben Tapuai and Liam Gill.
Norths Football Club
Rugby in the North Brisbane area first took shape in 1929, with the Eagle Junction Club competing for many years before disappearing from the Brisbane Rugby scene in the 1950's. This void was filled in 1962 when the Teachers Training College at Kedron fielded teams in the Brisbane Senior competition. A merger in 1974 with new entity Norths, saw the emergence of the Teachers Norths Rugby Club. A further merger with Redcliffe Rugby Club saw the emergence of the North Brisbane Club in 1991. The Club has produced a number of Australian and Queensland players. Including Dick Marks, John Cornes, Geoff Richardson, Laurie Lawrence, Rod Hauser, Greg Cornelsen, Tom Barker, Peter Horton, Michael O'Connor, and Chris Roche.
Sunshine Coast Rugby Club
Sunshine Coast Rugby Union Limited (SCRU) was established in 2009 after the winding down of the Sunshine Coast District Rugby Union and the Sunshine Coast Junior Rugby Union. The new union was created to promote the game of Rugby in the Sunshine Coast region. Notable players from the Stingrays include Blake Enever, Morgan Turinui, Toutai Kefu and Shane Drahm.
GPS Football Club
GPS is one of the oldest clubs in Queensland Rugby, tracing its heritage back to the Past Grammar club formed in 1887. According to noted rugby historian Ian Diehm, Past Grammar re-formed along with other clubs after the devastation of the First World War, and eventually became GPS in 1931 after a change of constitution which broadened its membership beyond Old Boys of Brisbane Grammar. Now based at Ashgrove in Brisbane, Queensland, GPS has produced 29 Wallabies including Ben Tune, Daniel Herbert, Matt Cockbain, and Daniel Heenan, along with a host of other representative and professional players.
Gold Coast Rugby Club
In 1965, the Gold Coast played their first game of Rugby in the Brisbane sub-district competition. The Surfers Paradise Rugby Union Club formed in 1974, with the hopes of creating their own competition on the Gold Coast. Since then, the Gold Coast Rugby Club has expanded, and now consists of ten teams competing in three senior leagues; A-Grade, Reserves and Colts. Key players who hail from the Gold Coast Breakers include James Slipper, Ben Daley, Lloyd Johansson and Garrick Morgan.
Souths Rugby Club
Since its launch in 1948, Souths has produced 70 Queensland representatives and 30 Australian representatives. In 1992, Souths created history when seven players were selected as Wallabies to represent Australia. The Magnificent Seven included: Jason Little, Tim Horan, Dan Crowley, Troy Coker, Garrick Morgan , Tom Lawton and Sam Scott-Young. Souths has also produced five Australian Captains - Nev Cottrell, David Codey, Andrew Slack (Australia's Grand Slam Captain) Tim Horan and Jason Little.
Wests Rugby Club
Wests Rugby Union Club was founded in 1951. Wests became Australian Club Champions in 1986 when they defeated the Sydney premiers, Parramatta. Based in Toowong, Wests have had over 15 players represent Australia, including Berrick Barnes, Paul Carozza, Michael Foley, Chris Latham, Hugh McMeniman, John Meadows, Stan Pilecki and John Roe.

- Is there an easy EXP glitches with the Ultimate Edition version?

Personally I don't see why you'd bother going into a game like this just for the achievements, that's like reading a book and only checking the first and last pages of each chapter so you get the bare minimum, but if you just want to play it at bullet-point level for whatever reason then more power to you.
There is, as I know of it, one unpatched exploit to powerlevel and also double up on perks: the Chet glitch.
What it entails is breaking the Goodsprings 'Ghost Town Gunfight' and 'Run Goodsprings Run' quests, forfeiting ever having the town love you (they won't hate you, they just wont' love you) and cementing your reputation at Wild Child for the Powder Gangers, but it gives you access to an exploitable glitch that allows you to not only get infinite experience and through speech challenges, but will also ensure that you never, ever, ever run out of 9mm ammo, so if you're going for this one, I recommend not playing on hardcore, and picking up a 9mm SMG, just so that you can start chewing through the 20k+ bullets you'll acquire by the end.
In order to set this exploit into place, the steps go as follows:
First, initiate the Ghost Town Gunfight quest by watching the scene at the bar and talking to Trudy. Don't bother talking to Ringo yet.
Now head over to Joe Cobb and speak to him, offering your services to start Run Goodsprings Run. Cobb asks you to kill Ringo before figuring out what to do with the town. So kill Ringo. Ghost Town Gunfight is now broken.
Talk to Cobb again, and he'll mention shaking down the store for supplies, or getting meds by tricking Doc Mitchell. Don't talk to Chet about that just yet though. Instead, murder Cobb and his cronies. Kill 'em all, and Run Goodsprings Run will break. You'll be hated by the Powder Gangers for it, but nobody cares what they think anyway.
Now that the quest is broken, go talk to Chet. Shake him down for supplies by passing either the speech or the barter check, and you'll get a leather armour, some ammo etc, and some experience for passing the check.
Now notice that the option is still there. So take it again. Shake him down again. Another leather armour, more ammo, more experience. Again. And again. And so on. And so on.
Assuming you haven't left Goodsprings yet you can still rebuild your character following leaving the region, which means that everything will go a bit sideways in the event you do. That's typically going to work in your favour though.
What you want to do now is pick perks you're not going to get through normal skill boosting, or useful utility skills with high requirements, like Jury Rigging, because some of these will actually glitch and carry over when your character is reset to level one after rebuilding them. Then, after being reset to level 1, the game will instantly award you all the previously acquired experience again, shooting you back up to whatever level you left Goodsprings at. This means you can level cap twice, and get nearly double the perks.
I say nearly double, because there are a few caveats to this: the two perks taken at level 2 and 4 are erased, regardless of which are picked. It's therefore recommended that you pick Swift Learner to speed up the rest of the process. I don't have a perfect list of all the perks that do and don't carry over or why, but you'll already have more perks than is possible to have, so do you really care if you have to pick one or two the second time round as well?
So there you have it. As far as I know it's the most exploitalicious method currently unpatched. It's tedious, but just keep a save prior to leaving Goodsprings and you can be a god of the Wasteland New Game+ styles whenever you want, if that's your go.

Just a note about perks that carry over when rebuilding:
The ONLY perks that don't carry over are level 2 and 4 perks from the main game (except Cannibal). The only DLC with level 2/4 perks is Dead Money and those WILL carry over. You'd probably want Light Touch and Old World Gourmet, in that case, unless you want Cannibal over one of them.
Some perks won't work properly when you rebuild, but that can be fixed via Old World Blues' trait-respec feature (a one-time thing, so keep that in mind). To clarify, the trait respec forces the game to recalculate all of your stats WITH all current perks in mind (something it doesn't even do on the rebuild, which makes sense since you're not supposed to keep any perks). This fixes perks that won't work like Life Giver and Strong Back, since they just add a flat amount to an existing stat when taken, and then are never called again.
The only perk that carries over but won't/can't work is Tag!, but you shouldn't be taking it anyways. If you do, we'll laugh at you and make you feel silly for even considering it.
Also, if you take Skilled asd a trait at the beginning, when you rebuild, you can choose a different trait but you'll keep the 5 skill points in each skill that Skilled gave you. If you take it when you rebuild, you'll have +10 to all skills total. It can then be ditched at the OWB trait respec for something more useful (or taken again, for a total +15 to all skills).
Eclipsing power is, at times, not only the instrument of demons, but also of gods.
Lost, but not forgotten.

Thanks for the clarification, Lancet. Knew there was a bunch of stuff I wasn't remembering.

Though it was a relatively modest opening by the company standards - just south of the million-dollar border - Stephen Starr's Mexican makeover for an old dive-diner (the Midtown IV) still bore unmistakable traces of El Conquistador's macho glitz.
Dowdy formica counters and grotto-stone walls have been kitsched-up with lacquered Mexican movie posters, velvet Elvises, and bedazzle tiles. The old Naugahyde booths got a lowrider flourish with golden embroidery spelling out "El Rey." Starr bragged with his usual "Philly's never seen anything like this before" bluster, touting the hideaway Ranstead Room cocktail lounge at the back of the building. Above the gold-painted brick facade, meanwhile, a marquee bears the bold Spanish promise: "esto cambiara su vida" - "this will change your life."

San Diego Just starting out

- The name of the product is intriguing.
The lube doesn't dry out quickly.
- −
- The name does not live up to its hype.
The packaging is easy to spill, but more than that, it invites contamination by having all of the product exposed. Think double dipping at the chip and dip table. Yuk!
I didn't find it stimulating at all beyond the regular A&E lube.
