Over the past two years, governments around the world have caught the enterprise architecture and SOA fever. This is especially the case in the US Federal Government, where a number of regulations, EA frameworks, and major spending initiatives are all pointing towards continued and lasting expenditure and investment in the area of EA. One can also notice this trend based on the number of EA and SOA events now focused on the US Federal Government, or at least taking place in the Washington, DC area. For example, ZapThink's Practical SOA event in DC on October 2, 2009 is focused on cost-effective legacy enablement and data management, while its 4-day Licensed ZapThink Architect (LZA) boot camp running in DC from September 21-24, 2009 provides SOA certification and credentialing to government and other DC-area firms. ZapThink's SOA & Cloud governance certification and training class in DC sold out earlier this month (August) and was so popular the company is running it again, in DC, September 30-October 1.
In aggregate, the Department of Defense (DoD) is perhaps the largest implementer of SOA in the world, in large part because they have an organization-wide SOA mandate. It's true they have high-level drivers for this mandate, including increased business agility and a more cost-effective approach to siloed IT resources. But those general drivers don't help much when a defense contractor must create a specific implementation.
As such, training is not the only thing on the minds of US government and contractor enterprise architects. They are also very much interested in learning from their peers. A number of forums, user groups, and in-person meet-ups, such as ZapForum DC evening networking event running on October 1, have sprung up catering to the needs of government agencies, contractors, and local firms looking to take advantage of the newfound focus on EA and SOA. While many might see SOA as a flash in the pan, the US government at the very least doesn't think so. Various new regulations and guidelines have emerged that not only require enterprise architecture planning as part of the IT development process, but demand it as part of the IT budgeting process. As they say, money talks. As such, continue to look for more EA and SOA activities focusing specifically on the needs of governments, throughout the world.

Brooke's Point
Barangay Oring-Oring, located some 7 km from Poblacion proper is the birthplace of the World's Biggest Pearl; known throughout the world as the Pearl of Allah or the Pearl of Lau-Tzu, this 14.1-pound porcelaneous pearl was found by a native Moslem in the seas of Oring-Oring. Valued in 1984 at USD $42 million, the ownership of this unique pearl is still in dispute. What is clear, however, is its origins: Oring-Oring, Brooke's Point. When Filipinos, people who live in a country of 7,107 islands and countless beaches, consider a place to be the epitome of tropical paradise, you know it must be something special. Palawan is exotic, even for Filipinos. Trek up to the crater of an active volcano, marvel at the Filipino-Spanish architecture of preserved houses and churches and experience excellent snorkeling with rich marine life all within 3 hours of Manila.

No, I would think it was cute. Some girls like it because you are 'pure' with no past history. And 20 years is young so there's nothing to be ashamed of.
Most women do want a guy with experience. Not all, but most. Being yourself, be honest and communicate will make you attractive and then they won't care about your inexperience.
No, you still have lots of time... my problem is much worse, I'm 36 years old, with no dating experience :(

Libra-Cancer Compatibility
Libra-Cancer Compatibility supplies both with important traits that the other lacks. Both are searching for a secure, positive relationship that will benefit from their shared regard for beauty and luxury, especially when it comes to their domestic situation. These two can blend their vitality harmoniously if they choose to work toward a common objective.
Though Libra-Cancer compatibility astrology may seem to have little else in common than their mutual need for companionship and their delight in beauty, it will advance if given time. The more they get to know one another, the more each individual in this love match will identify and respect the positive qualities in the other.
Neither Cancer nor Libra shrink from combining the vigor of their emotion and their intellect, and both enjoy the infrequent teary opera or mawkish heirloom. Expressions of schmaltz and happiness are important to both Signs, and Cancer and Libra can match one another in many ways.
Cancer values Libra's charm and tact, and Libra's calm, cool finesse can tame even the wildest pouting spell a Cancer can muster up. Libra, lover of aesthetic beauty and balance, will appreciate their Cancer mate's heartwarming instinct for a comfortable home and the security that comes with it. Libra can present the sometimes emotionally impulsive Cancer some perspective on situations. Cancer needs to see the contrasting sides of an issue, or this Crab may be given to making decisions without knowing all the facts. On the other hand, Cancer can help cure Libra of their notorious indecision.
The Moon (Emotion) commands Cancer, and the Planet Venus (Love) governs Libra. These planetary partners are oh so compatible in their love of home, family and romance. While Libra is recognized for its balancing nature, these love partners share supportive personalities and desire harmony over conflict.
More than any other pair of Zodiac Signs, this astrological match brings a warmth and sense of constancy to those around them. Despite all the harmony and blithe happiness, though, Libra, whose life approach is grounded on intellect, can be a bit haughty and superior, and Cancer, who looks at life through emotional filters, still has those easily crushed feelings to contend with.
Cancer is a Water sign, and Libra an Air Sign. Libra sees life as an unadulterated mental exploration, while Cancer's connection is more tactile and moving. Cancer is most satisfied when their emotional requirements are met, while Libra simply focuses on what stimulates their mind. At times, these lovers may find it tough to understand one another. Problems can arise in this relationship if Cancer appears too crabby or Libra seems too galling. Both need to learn that they simply see the world in different ways.
Cancer and Libra are both Cardinal Signs. In this relationship, there could be conflict over who wears the pants, who's at the wheel, who's actually in control. If Libra's indecision nettles Cancer, Libra can turn on their artful charm and sense of fairness and accept Cancer's judgment, as long as Cancer doesn't become Crabby. Both are initiators, which can, when their ideas and methods differ, precipitate a struggle.
What's the best aspect of Libra-Cancer compatibility horoscopes? Their reciprocal appreciation of stability and domestic balance. Aesthetics are important to them, and they share a desire for the comforts in life. Their similar perceptions and loves make theirs a relationship of great commitment and harmony. Find out how Libra Compatibility shapes up with other Zodiac Signs. Back to the top of Libra-Cancer Compatibility.

The carousel was built in two phases - 2007 and 2012. The original build was in Brooklyn, and the second in Tonasket Washington. The countless hours! The piece has evolved considerably from the original design - it's a much tighter piece. It sometimes takes a couple tries to get it right.
The first build was frantic, to say the least. And expensive! Burning Man helped to fund the project - they covered the cost of the materials, and we threw a bunch of amazing parties to raise more money, and Hyde Power covered the rest. It was a mad 8 weeks, working night and day, designing and building at the same time. So much work, so much metal, so many bills.
The second build was much more controlled, more relaxed, it had a budget and a schedule that made sense. The design had been plenty ironed out by the time we started, so the build was deliberate and not full of surprises. It was great. The fundamental questions had been answered (what where) and what needed to be design-built was completely manageable.
We built it with a small crew - Barley and me all summer, with help at different times from Andy Jones, Danny Watson, Will Ianson and Derby Luongo - and some others here and there. Nobody got paid, but we sure made something happen.
The piece has been built by a combination of paid and volunteer labor, most of it volunteer, or barely paid. It's been a labor of love, skinned knuckles, burnt fingers and all.
The build, 2012:
The build really started with a series of fundraising parties in Brooklyn, NY, which we threw over the course of the winter/spring. Thank you Shawn Patrick and ACME for hosting the parties! They were, as always, completely ridiculous and amazing.
Once we had some money saved up, the first step was to put all the parts from the old piece in a container and ship them out to Washington. The stuff was stored up in the Catskills, at Shawn's barn in Bovina NY. If you ever get a chance, go to the peekamoose restaurant, the food, the wine list,and the decor are incredible. There are a couple horses there, too.
We organized a work party, a bunch of people showed up and the Acavallo crew spent the weekend cleaning up the property, and digging out all rusty metal. Most of it from under a collapsed barn. And amazingly enough, everything was in good shape, and all the pieces were there, and we got it all into the container, even the 500# lumps. It was such a joy to bust that metal loose, to get it out of the eddy and back on the road!
I was too busy trying to figure out what was what to take any pictures of the loading! It's a shame.
About this time, we finally got our Kickstarter campaign going, which was SUCCESFUL! You can read some blog -style entries about the build there, and see some videos from the build. THANK YOU EVERYBODY! That funding made the completion of the project possible. Thank you thank you.
While we were waiting for the container to arrive in Tonasket, we went and retrieved the motor and transmission, which was from a donor pickup truck. This was Monica's old garbage hauler - she did cleanouts in Seattle with it for years, until the frame cracked. The motor in it was rebuilt by a guy named Lee Koontz, one of my childhood heroes from Duvall Washington who always had the coolest cars. LIke a 4 wheel drive 57 chevy with duals all the way around. Unbeliveable. His 4wd suburban framed camaro is still the only car I've ever ridden in that lifted the front wheels off the ground. The pickup's little chevy 250 ain't never gonna lift any wheels, but it should push around a lot of people at walking speed. That's all we want! And the price? Free. Can't beat that!
Once the container arrived in Tonasket, we unloaded the stuff.
Once that was done, we started cutting up the original frames and trusses. The redesign made use of every possible original truss and tube, and many design hours were spent in maximizing the use of the original materials. A lot of the final dimensions of the piece are a direct result of original frame sizes - the deck width, where the deckframes fold, etc. It's all in there, those original decisions made in June of '07. It was epic, moving things around in CAD to finally find the best solution, balancing aesthetic vs. function vs. already built. But it was all done prior to the build, so we were able to start right off just hacking up frames.
Andy Jones was here for that, and sawed up most of the frames. It was an epic bunch of sawzalling, and Andy was the best at making the blades last. He's got that jeweler's touch.
While that was going on, we sourced the driveline parts, and finished the design on the gooseneck trailer frame, which is the core of the piece. We bought new steel for the trailer frame - $2500 of it - plus another equal amount in trailer axles wheels and hardware, and that, plus another grand in junkyard parts, lights and stuff, was our build budget. And it was almost enough, and then our good friend Cowboy ordered up a burnbarrel horse to support the project, and we made that right away, turning steel plate into dollars to build art. It's a joyous circle when it works.
Then, parts and materials started showing up in the mail, and with the drawing double checked, we started building the trailer. Barley did 99% of the fabrication on the trailer - it was a lot of careful work. Tubes that intersect tubes, parallel lines, perpendicular lines, all just so. Square tubes meet round tubes and it all flows from front to back, perfectly aligned and thoroughly welded.
The design/build methods are the same as in the orginal, the whole piece resolves to tubes cut to length, welded together, welded to cnc cut plates to hold everything together. With the CAD, it's possible to resolve almost any structural or mechanical system into a series of tubes and brackets, into a simple series of steps (cut this many tubes to this length with this angle on each end, weld them to these dimensions, tack these plates on). We used our CNC plasma cutter to generate all the brackets, a carbide-blade metal saw to cut the tubes, a bandsaw and grinder to notch and angle them, and a MIG welder to stick them all together.
Our next builder volunteer was Daniel, who brought along his nephew, Jared, who was a riot. He's got an extra chromosome which makes him really fun. He likes to yell, but so do I! He wasn't such a fan of the grinding, which Daniel did a LOT of, but he loved Flap's mobility cart. Zoom zoom. Meanwhile, the trailer frame was taking shape, piece by perfect piece. A sentence of tubes, each just so, perpendicular parallel and all angled in together at one end.
We started working nights, too, as it was really starting to get hot during the day. The race was on.
I was really struggling with the final design - particularly, the interaction of the deck frames, and the exterior trusses, and how it all lined up. There were a lot of conflicts, and they wouldn't resolve. I had to dig back, and figure out what the problem really was - which was that I was obsessed with reusing the original welded clips, which aligned the frames to the trusses, because it was so much work to remove them - they were welded on good. Until, finally, I just set Daniel on it, and in a couple days, he had removed every clip from the trusses. It was an unbelievable sparkstorm of grinding, spraying metal dust and grit everywhere. But because he did that, the design logjam was completely busted loose and everything fell into place - the deckrframes shifted, the horses lined up with the openings, the frames lined up with the masts lined up with wheels and steps and boy that was a relief. Thank you Danny!
Paint is so horrible - it is toxic, and a pain to get right, but it does keep the corrosion at bay. And we wanted this trailer to last a while... it'll be seeing some road miles! It's such a drag though: unbolt everything, clean it all, spray the primer, sand it a little, find all the missed spots, do it again, and then the paint, and it's just runs and thin spots and crawling around spraying the underside of things while every bug in town kamikazes in for a final resting place... good times? not really. But Danny and I got through it. He wanted to try painting so bad. It looks so easy and fun - just spray away. But no... maintain an even coating: sweep your arm-shoulder-wrist linkage just so to keep that gun the right distance away from the piece, follow with perfect overlap through 3D space, maintain perpendicular and watch the shine and don't pause on the release or stumble or move suddenly or look away or have a momentary lapse in consciousness while you think about trusses or whatever... yeah right. Anyway. It got done. Drips and all.
I used an oil-based enamel from the hardware store - rust stop - it's not that great. It scratches super easy. I wish I'd gone with the orange primer, so the scratches would look cooler. The gray is kind of boring. Anyway...
And once that was all done, without a break, we started in on the trusses and the frames. The bow was the trickiest - getting all those angled intersections just right. I used the 3D cad model to print out full scale paper drawings, which we taped to the tubes, traced, and cut. It worked great. All that agonizing over the design, finding the simplest build/look good combination, was worth it.
No matter how much you draw, there are always little easter eggs in the design. For instance, the wheels couldn't be removed - there was no clearance to be able to come on and off the hubs with the bottom chord in the way.
The strange little dogleg in the trusses by her right hand was a design decision from the earliest days, and it bugged me always. It made no sense, it was this weird interruption along the bottom of the trusses.
Until Barley and I fitted up the trusses for the first time and then it all made sense. It was just enough room to get the back tire off, so we extended the dogleg up past the front axle. Problem solved. So much of this project was like that - it just flowed along. Hit a bump, look at the parts, realize a solution. Not that doing all that notching and welding at 2 AM was fun, it was just gross, dirty, and painful. But it wasn't hard. Getting up again at six was.
My days started to blur - I would get up, get Josephine fed and dressed and then to one Grandmother or another, rush back to the shop, work all day in the heat, go home for dinner and to read some stories to Josephine, and then come back to the shop for another round, finally bonk, go home and sleep for a few hours, repeat. My dreams were of tubes welded to tubes, shapes shifting around, and the days were tubes welded to tubes. Obsession, definitely.
And about this time, Will Ianson showed up to help out for the rest of the summer, down from Victoria BC. He was a big help, and we gave him all kinds of horrible jobs, like cutting and fitting the expanded metal in the bow. It's sharp, poky, nasty stuff. And he did a great job.
Meanwhile, Barley and I keep adding frames, parts, and pieces. It was pretty exciting to see it fill out, become 3D, become something. A ship.
This was cut from the original firetank box, which was a terrible idea (so heavy! wrong) and of course when I loaded it in the plasma cutter, I did it upside down, so I cut the first circle wrong, had to flip it over and cut it again, and then get Will to weld back up and grind the bad cut. It's all wrong. But it looks great!
I was the only one to fall through the holes in the deck - was pretty exciting. I turned, stepped into nothing, saw what was happening, and caught myself midair in a pushup between frames, no problem - and then there was shadow, and I thought it was Will falling off the ladder onto me, I braced, and when it turned out to only be the ladder, which crashed off my back light as a feather, I was so relieved I forgot to feel any pain.
Meanwhile, we also had a ton of work to do to get ready to leave for Burning Man. Barley had to make a hitch for the box truck, for example, which was a bit of a nightmare! To say the least. And put a flatbed on the Dodge, which was horribly grindy-torchy job. I didn't take many pictures, I was just too tired to find the time between tasks. We kept at it, day after day, and soon we were putting up the horses and it was really starting to look like the carousel.
Dan showed up to get the fire system together, and it was quite the battle. He was only here for a few days, and there was a lot to do and figure out. He, Will, and Barley figured out some cool whistles though, and got all the horrible pipe fittings and elbows all sorted, the pipes and tubes and tanks. The best part of collaboration is saying - the fire stuff is Dan's problem! Yeah. He packed a lot of shop hours into those few days.
Dirby, Erica and Nicole showed up too, for the final push. Dirby worked at the shop, while Erica and Nicole went off to work with Sadie to get the food together for Burning Man. They made a lot of food, and we ate it all, thank you so much!!
My picture taking kind of petered out at this point - it was just too much. I was only working, thinking, arguing, getting lunch, water, gatorade, tea by the gallon, my universe shrank to the moment and my phone was never charged, voicemail full.
There were a lot of details to sort out.
LIke getting the drive engine stuff hooked up. I had to dig deep for the shifter linkage - it's pretty cool though. And it worked! Once we got the bracket shifted 90 degrees. And then the throttle figured out, and the wires run, and the keyswitch hooked up, and the radiator hoses fitted, and the battery mounted, the driveshaft bolted in, the brakes figured out.
It was great fun, truth be told - this thing is the ultimate rat rod! The exhaust is so cool - just 90 degrees and out through a glasspack. It's also fun because everything around the engine is so exposed - the wiring was so easy, it's all right out in the open. We even gave it gauges, which was a great idea, as it turned out - our radiator cooling fan was insufficiently powerful, and the motor would heat up driving around on the playa, and having that lit up guage was such a great thing.
And also, there was the sound system to sort out, the amps and speakers to hang, the cables and connectors to route and bundle. So much crap.
Oh, and the rest of the decking - that was a rough job as well. We did that late at night, when we were too tired to do anything else - Barley would cut boards to length, and Will Dirby and I would screw them down. Measure, find the closest scrap board, cut it, fit it into place, check alignment repeatedly whilst tapping, pre drill, screw down, repeat a thousand times. Unbelievably, it got it done. It seemed to take forever, night after night, the list always had 'finish decking" still left on it... The stage turned out to be the coolest - Barley and Will left the original raw and strange ends sticking out past the frames, which gives it a super piratical feel, and it is so great. All the wood on the decks has now been recycled twice - it was originally in an apartment in New York, and then recycled into the decking for the original carousel, and then all taken apart once more and fit up to the new version. It has a lot of character!
And the wiring! Oh man oh man. The wiring. The thing has 110v circuits run all around for power distribution, and then of course all the trailer wiring, the endless lights. Barley did it all, wire after wire. And it all worked, of course. Boy was I glad! There are a lot of wires.
It's just incredible how much work goes into making something. Even when it's all framed and decked and horsed, it still needs wires, speakers, railings, awnings... And then, finally, when you look up and it sits there in front of you, all complete, it is just such a feeling. I wasn't quite there - there were still so many things to do.
Like get everything packed in the box truck, loaded and strapped on the carousel, get the food and beer and tools and all bazillion pounds of crap organized and tied down. We hit the road 12 hours behind schedule.
Unbelievable. We had done it. We built the carousel.
Thank you so much, everybody who kicked into this project, who sweated with me, who worked with me to make this dream come true...

National professional learning about Our Code, Our Standards
We're working to arrange professional learning programmes across the country to implement the Standards for the Teaching Profession Ngā Paerewa mō te Umanga Whakaakoranga and Code of Professional Responsibility Ngā Tikanga Matatika. The workshops will support Early Childhood Education leaders to use the Standards in their own appraisal, and help teachers, kaiako, professional leaders and tumuaki to use the Standards for the Teaching Profession in appraisal and to understand the Code of Professional Responsibility. Fill out the expression of interest to help us choose programmes and locations.
Becoming a teacher
A career in teaching means having the chance to make a real difference in young people's lives, actively participate in a learning community and help shape New Zealand as a bi-cultural nation. Teaching is a rewarding profession where no two days are the same and your work makes a real difference. If you're thinking about teaching, this section is a great place to start.
Getting certificated
A current practising certificate shows employers, colleagues, learners and the wider community that a teacher is qualified, safe and competent. There are different categories of practising certificates to show how recently a teacher has met the Practising Teacher Criteria, or whether they are yet to meet them.
Practising as a teacher
Find out about practising as a teacher in New Zealand, from ongoing professional development to research projects and the Code of Professional Responsibility and Standards for the Teaching Profession. Teaching is a dynamic and challenging profession. Teachers have a professional obligation to develop and maintain professional relationships with a diverse range of learners, communicate with parents and whānau, act ethically, promote positive values and maintain and raise professional standards.
Conduct and competence
The integrity of our profession relies on robust processes that give the public peace of mind, knowing teachers meet high ethical standards and are fit to teach. The Education Council is responsible for investigating, and if necessary exercising disciplinary functions, relating to teacher conduct, convictions and competence.
About us
We are the professional organisation for teachers - from early childhood education through to primary and secondary schooling in English and Māori medium schools. We'll promote all that's best about teaching – good practice, new ideas, inspirational leadership.

Thirty-seven families forced to evacuate their Hawthorne homes last week when a water well exploded and flammable methane gas spewed into the air won't be able to return for possibly five days as repairs continue, water company officials said Wednesday.
Although work crews stopped water and methane gas from spewing from the well at Imperial Highway and Truro Avenue on Tuesday, experts determined that naturally occurring methane gas continued to seep into the well, Los Angeles County fire Inspector Tony Akins said.
"Tuesday night, experts had an opportunity to sit down and evaluate the situation absent the gas leak. It was decided we don't just have a water well out here now, we have a gas well," Akins said.
Experts from Boots & Coots International Well Control, which stopped the outflow, suggested inserting a pressure relief manifold and "blowout preventers" so that the gas underground can be monitored. In that way, Akins said, residents can be "confident that not only do we have the ability to understand what's happening in the ground, but if there is a raise in pressures or a future leak we can control that a lot better."
Akins likened the device to similar burn-off equipment used at local oil production facilities.
The manifold was being built Wednesday and it could take up to five days to install before residents can return home. Firefighters earlier had suggested displaced residents might be able to return home Wednesday, but revised that plan.
"I know everybody wants to get home, but we want to make sure they are home safe and they are comfortable in the knowledge this well has been put to bed and isn't going to present a problem for them in a week or a month or a year," Akins said.
The residents were forced to leave their homes at 6:20 p.m. Sept. 12 when a build-up of methane gas caused the out-of-service water well to explode as Golden State Water Co. crews attempted to cap it. Water and flammable methane spewed into the air, which posed a fire risk.
Golden State Water Co. officials provided hotel rooms for the evacuated residents and called in the renowned well-capping company, Boots & Coots, a division of Halliburton, to stop the leakage. Throughout the day Tuesday, workers injected gel into the well and could not detect any methane at the surface.
The plan had been to cap it with concrete, until the decision was made to install the pressure-relief system.
Golden State Water officials released a statement Wednesday afternoon that said it will continue to provide hotel rooms for displaced residents.
"The project to cap the well may take up to five days to complete," the statement said. "Crews are working diligently and will complete the repairs as safely and quickly as possible. The Fire Department is continuing to monitor for methane and will make the final determination as to when residents can return to their homes."
Once the work is completed, Southern California Edison officials must restore electricity and Southern California Gas Co. workers must turn on natural gas service.

The neotenous axolotl Ambystoma mexicanum (Amphibia: Urodela) is one of the most used model organisms in evolutionary, developmental and regenerative studies, being a particularly powerful regenerative model because it can reconstitute a fully functional and complete forelimb/hindlimb (Kragl et al. 2009; see also the reviews of, e.g. Carlson, 2003, 2007; Nacu & Tanaka, 2011; Stocum & Cameron, 2011; Agata & Inoue, 2012). Amputation anywhere between the shoulder and the hand triggers the formation of a progenitor cell zone (blastema) that regenerates the epidermis, dermis, muscle, nerve, blood vessels and skeletal elements of the regenerated forelimb (e.g. Kragl et al. 2009).
It is therefore surprising that there is not a single paper or monograph that describes all the pectoral and forelimb muscles of A. mexicanum or provides a comparative framework between the muscles found in this species and those found in other tetrapod model organisms and in modern humans as an anatomical basis for regenerative, developmental and evolutionary works. A few myological studies have focused on other species of Ambystoma (e.g. Ribbing, 1907; Anthony & Vallois: Ambystoma tigrinum; Blount, 1935; : Ambystoma punctactum; Diogo, 2007; Diogo & Abdala, 2007, 2010; Diogo et al. 2009; Abdala & Diogo, 2010; : Ambystoma ordinarium), but to our knowledge the only published paper that describes in detail some of the forelimb muscles of A. mexicanum is that of Grim & Carlson (1974). Although that paper is undoubtedly an excellent piece of anatomical work and clearly contributed to knowledge about this species' myology, we felt the need to undertake the present study for four main reasons.
The first and more important reason for re-investigating the myology of Ambystoma mexicanum is that Grim & Carlson's study only analyzed the forearm and hand muscles; the justification being that their paper was mainly a basis for regenerative studies. However, as will be seen below, a great part of the current studies on axolotl regeneration also include at least the arm muscles, and even when the amputation is at the level of the arm, some muscles that are connected to the most medial portion of the pectoral girdle (e.g. coracoradialis) are also regenerated and anatomically affected after injury. Therefore, apart from their importance for evolutionary, developmental and comparative works (e.g. Diogo & Abdala, 2010), the arm and pectoral muscles are also crucial for regenerative studies. The second reason is that, as will also be explained below, there are some differences between our observations of the forearm and hand muscles of A. mexicanum and the descriptions of Grim & Carlson (1974). This is related to a third reason, which is that our study provides, for the first time, a report about the myology of adults of a model organism that is based on dissections and analyses of both wildtype animals and transgenic animals that express green fluorescent protein (GFP) in muscle fibers (Fig. 1A,B; see 'Materials and methods'). One of the main purposes of including GFP-transgenic animals in the study is that this allows us to show the muscles in photographs and in a way that is more commonly seen and easier to understand for developmental and regenerative biologists that are less accustomed to the type of anatomical drawings (which are excellent) provided by Grim & Carlson (1974). The other, related, main purpose is that by including both wildtype and GFP-transgenic animals and visualizing the latter animals with and without a simultaneous transmission laser light, one can obtain a more complete and clearer understanding of the exact limit of the fleshy (shown as fluorescent green in GFPs) and tendinous (examined in dissections of both wildtypes and GFPs and/or using the transmission light) parts of the muscles and their specific connections with the skeletal elements (Fig. 2A,B). It is precisely the use of these different methods that allowed us to settle some controversies seen in previous anatomical and comparative studies and revealed some of the differences with the anatomical descriptions of the adult myology reported by Grim & Carlson (1974; see below). The fourth reason is that most developmental, regenerative and evolutionary biologists that work with A. mexicanum are interested in comparing their observations with those made in other model organisms, and ultimately to discuss that information in the context of human evolution and medicine. Therefore, we felt the need to provide detailed tables showing the muscle homologies between axolotls and other vertebrates, including model organisms such as mice, frogs and chicken as well as our own species, Homo sapiens.
The main goal of this paper is therefore to establish a basis for future evolutionary and particularly regenerative and developmental studies on the forelimb of axolotls and other tetrapods, by (i) providing brief, simple descriptions of each pectoral and forelimb muscle of A. mexicanum that can be understood by both anatomists and non-anatomists, in particular with the aid of photographs of GFP-transgenic animals and (ii) providing a succinct comparison between our observations and those of other authors and a short, updated discussion and tables of the muscle homologies between this species and other tetrapod taxa, including model organisms and modern humans.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 22/8/2013 (1459 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Traversing the Himalayas, especially in winter, can be a very daunting task, not unlike Toronto roads during a snowstorm.
On one particularly snowy morning last winter the Subaru XV Crosstrek's ethos flourished. It was as unstoppable as a Himalayan mountain goat wearing studded hiking boots.
The Crosstrek follows Subaru's formula used for the Outback Sport since 1997. It is essentially an Impreza, inside and out, with the exception of a few styling cues. Much of the bodywork and architecture is mutual between the two, but the Crosstrek wears different bumpers, matte black fender flares and rocker panels down the side.
It also sits 22 centimetres off the ground, taller than many pseudo-CUVs and SUVs out there, including the Nissan Juke, Mini Countryman and Chevrolet Trax.
It even has a higher ground clearance than the Jeep Grand Cherokee. The ride height, paired with the bodywork and chunky, black-and-silver 17-inch alloy rims, won't win any beauty contests, but at least it looks better than the Juke.
Subaru has never quite been the industry benchmark for interior design and quality, although in the past six years, it did come close to nailing it with the Tribeca and the previous-generation Legacy. Most other models have been seas of hard black plastic that scratches easily, although stepping into something like a WRX STI, caressing the dashboard isn't the driver's prime directive.
The Crosstrek slots in the grey zone, between Subaru's best and worst. On one hand, the layout is boring, wearing the infamous monotonous black colour scheme. On the other hand, the materials are exponentially better and the layout is logical and functional. Everything does what it's supposed to do and is within reach of the driver, except for the heated seat switches, which are below the armrest.
Like the Impreza, a useful information readout sits atop the dashboard. Although it seems an afterthought, it keeps track of necessary information.
Menus keeping track of fuel consumption, which wheels have traction and which don't, and, of course, the time, can be accessed through controls mounted on the steering wheel.
The interior's saving grace is that the Crosstrek is well-equipped. The Touring model starts at $24,495, and gets you the standard kit of power equipment in addition to heated seats, fog lights, automatic climate control, Bluetooth, an iPod-compatible audio system and, of course, Subaru's absolutely incredible all-wheel-drive system.
The normally aspirated, 2.0-litre four-cylinder Boxer engine produces 148 horsepower and 145 pound-feet of torque. It's the only engine option, and can be mated to two transmissions, and hence two absolutely incredible AWD systems.
The five-speed manual splits torque 50/50 between the front and rear axles under all weather conditions. However, the CVT is matched to a more advanced system, splitting torque 60/40 front to rear. When it detects wheelspin, it can distribute torque evenly.
Unfortunately, the CVT is quite noisy, especially on the highway, emitting a whine and making the engine sound as if it's complaining under acceleration. Combined with the motor's already low displacement and horsepower numbers, it felt downright unwilling to accelerate while passing or merging on the highway.
The CVT is equipped with a manual mode, though. It lets the driver shift through pre-programmed gear ratios, which made the engine a little less anemic, and a little more willing to go. Not to mention, it cut down on the whining considerably.
Thanks to the beefed-up suspension components and ground clearance, the ride is comfortable and composed, although body roll is present. At highway speeds, the Crosstrek is stable, but wind noise is evident -- reminiscent of the days when Subaru's doors were frameless. Bigger brakes are also part of the Crosstrek's CUV package, although the soft brake pedal took some getting used to.
Of course, these quibbles are very, very easy to forgive when the snow falls. Few cars can match Subaru's legacy of reliability and durability, and even fewer cars on the road are as composed and confident as the Crosstrek in adverse weather conditions.

I'm from Egypt for GAGers who don't know me :)
From where I come from, the average age for marriage is ~22-24 for girls and like 24-27 for guys. The majority of my girlfriends and my female relatives are married and have kids.
I also have a few girlfriends who are not married yet, but they complain a lot about being single. I also come across a lot of people (colleagues, friends, etc...) who always remind me of the fact that I'm getting older and that I should be married by now.
I do not know why I am not bothered by this. I am 26 years old. I am not married and I do not have kids. My single female friends are extremely upset about their situation though.
Why am I not bothered by this?

Sweet -N-Tangy Barbecue Sauce
Recipe by Tinkerbell
The only barbecue sauce I use, for everything from shredded pork loin or ribs to thin sliced ham sandwiches or shredded beef. Often served with chilled potato salad & fresh homemade dinner rolls to mop up the sauce (if not using the meat in a sandwich already).
Top Review by Rachel S.
This was amazing. I've only tried making one other bbq sauce before, and it was not good, so I was hesitant on making another sauce. But this turned out perfect! Had a really nice zip to it. I used Franks hot sauce. Added 2 drops of liquid smoke. I let it simmer about 2 hours or so, then took it off the heat to thicken up a bit. I will make this sauce over and over again. Thank you!

What You Can Expect From Your First Encounter With an Escort
Every single business interaction possesses its own collection of unwritten restrictions. As an example, ski masks are frowned on for bank customers, regardless of whether it's extremely cold outside . Banks fully grasp what to expect of their clients, and the their customers usually realize how to never get shot. Carrying out a business relationship may be tricky, however, in the event the offerings delivered are bought by way of slang. Only an assured number of objectives will protect you from a lousy situation. This can describe a first evening with an escort.
Just what exactly you should anticipate from your first night out with the escort hinges on the sort of lady delivering the encounter. First there's the street walkers. She could be regarded as the low-end selection, if you will. These kinds of ladies tend to be addicts and they're quite inexpensive. You get what you get. In some cases street walkers will band collectively and obtain a motel room. They're merely hookers having a hotel room. Above the prostitute is the escort, such as the women you'll find listed on the PHX Ladies website of this Phoenix-based escort service. The escort lives in a completely distinct world from the hooker on the street. An escort will do the job from either from a nice condo, or visits a client's hotel or residence. She is reliable, clean and takes pleasure in the services she offers.
Almost any first meeting will begin with a telephone call. Every escort is different, and it truly depends upon what the customer desires. The customer is the one in charge of the dollars.
In the event you call an escort by a blocked number or pay phone, the escort will likely talk with you but she will ask that you call back from a regular phone. If you are seeking an out-call visit to your home or hotel, the lady will ask for the name of the hotel and room number. She will telephone the room in advance to ensure you answer. Women who are employed by escort agents must often perform around stricter guidelines than independent escorts. Agencies, such as the Boston Babe Directory which lists escorts in the Boston area, will be strict with regards to those things and about the escort's time. When that buzzer goes off it's time for the girl to depart. Independent girls make their own policies, so they could provide gentlemen a set block of time.
A number of escorts prefer the customer leave money in an envelope, mainly because it makes it somewhat more discrete. The first several minutes at the doorway are crucial, as this is the customer's opportunity to look at the date in full lighting and to ensure that he is not becoming prey to a bait and switch. Just like anything, it's ordinary to get anxious the very first time. A good date will know the best way to ease the move into the bedroom. An escort is allowed to pass judgments regarding the man, and is free to turn the man away without giving reasons. Escorts have turned clients away for acting poorly, or simply just because they gave the escort a negative sensation.

While Filipe and I are on sabbatical I'm revisiting the archives (and adding a little present day commentary along the way). This week we are spending some time enjoying our own city together- ya know the things you don't do when life is going, going, going.
I wrote this post in 2015, five months after we brought our two boys home from Brazil. I'm so glad I didn't know then how hard this road would be. I don't think my heart could have handled it. As much as we want to know what's ahead for us, I think it's a blessing we don't.
This one still helps me, especially on those days when your son is yelling at you, "You will never understand me because you weren't born in Brazil". Ugh, the adoption road is not for the faint of heart.
I'll be honest, life is hard. For the last 4-6 weeks (I'm losing count) we've been in a tough season with our family transition. It's nothing we didn't expect, just our current reality.
Adoption is beautiful, but adoption is messy. On both sides.
For an adopted child, getting a new family doesn't erase the pain and loss they experienced. It doesn't erase the years of neglect and abandonment they felt. Even when they don't understand their own feelings yet.
We can't undo what's been done, but we can help them heal. We can't fix their past, but we can help them thrive in their future, their scars a part of their new story.
My goal as a mom is to do two things: love my kids the best I can and point them to Jesus (and maybe teach them to take showers regularly).
In the meantime, how do I get through the day? Here's a few practical things I'm currently doing to make it and thrive throughout this tough season.
1. Small, measurable goals.
I signed up to run a half marathon last summer before we went to Brazil knowing I needed something to look ahead to. The half marathon is at Disneyland on Mothers Day and will mark 6 months having the boys in our family. When days are tough I tell myself, "It hasn't even been six months!".
2. Early Bedtime
My kids go to bed early. Like when the sun is still out early. And I don't feel bad in the least. Knowing that I can mentally check-out around 7:30 makes the days easier to manage and gives Filipe and I time together. They get a full nights sleep, I get some down time, and no matter what happened that day, tomorrow we can start fresh.
3. Laugh
I used to watch a lot more serious TV- cop shows, the investigative type, etc. Now, I can't handle those as much. I need to laugh, so I find things to laugh about. Jimmy Fallon is a regular on our TV. In fact, I'm watching him now as I type. Thank you notes is on, my favorite.
*I have resumed watching more realistic television again (watched West Wing last summer), but The Tonight Show is still a regular.
4. Red Wine
Just a little Merlot or Pinot Noir. Oh yeah, and I hear it's like working out.
* If I were to re-write this one today, I'd probably just say, "Give yourself permission to enjoy the simple things in life". When we're going through a hard day/season, the simple pleasures of life have a way of putting a smile on our face, and if you've been through a really hard season, you'll take a smile anyway you can. For us, a little red wine is something we enjoy occasionally. Your drink of choice might be lavender chamomile tea or a La Croix.
5. Give Grace
The most important person for me to show grace to right now is myself. I could do a lot of things better- I could type out a full page list. But I'm doing my best and that's enough right now.
I spend most of my day praying for wisdom and asking God for strength. So much about what I'm doing doesn't come natural, I'm completely out of my comfort zone. But as uncomfortable it is, it's so good and it will be worth it.
No matter what you're facing, God gives us grace and strength for hard days. I don't know what you're facing today. Maybe you don't have kids, but maybe you're surrounded by difficult people. Hopefully, you can look to God for the wisdom to get through your hard days.

Girls would you date a guy who is bisexual I'm bi so I just won't to know what you guys have to say
Most Helpful Girl
I wouldn't. I would be insecure and Unsure00|01|0
Girls would you date a guy who is bisexual I'm bi so I just won't to know what you guys have to say
I wouldn't. I would be insecure and Unsure
Have an opinion?
I'm a straight cis girl and I would almost prefer it. Not because I think it's hot that he likes guys or something weird like that. But I actually have multiple legitimate reasons. I've never really had luck with straight guys and I tend to not get along with them anyways. Plus straight guys tend to hyperfixate on their own masculinity, and try to be as hypermasculine as possible, which comes off as intimidating, scary, douchebaggy, and straight up unattractive. I'd prefer a guy to be more in touch with his feminine side (all guys have them, I know) and not be worried about how masculine or feminine he seems to others, because c'mon now, does that really matter? What else is an added bonus for me is that I kind of have a thing for pegging, as much as I hate the term, and I know not every guy would be into it, but I feel like a bi guy would be more willing to try because he doesn't have to worry whether or not he's straight (newsflash: there's no corrolation) because he already knows he's not! And its commonlyrics stereotyped that bi people will miss the opposite sex of their partner, but for me, if he really misses the feeling of being sexual with a guy, that's okay. I know it's not my fault, and it probably doesn't have anything to do with me. I can't help not being a guy and I know he can't help missing guys. We could compromise with an open relationship. I know that guys tend to have a easier time separating sex from emotion, so it would be okay. My only rules would be that he is a safe as possible, he should be using a condom, make sure the guy has recently been checked for STIs, make sure this guy isn't anybody sketchy, and to tell me beforehand. Also, we could talk about celeb crushes together too which is always fun. And I know this may be a rumor, but I've heard bi guys are overall better lovers and better fathers. That's ideal.
So tl;dr: yes, absolutely!
I dont like this questions, because I do not know how to answer them, actually the answer is simple:
Do I like the guy? yes
Do I not like the guy? no
Is he bisexual? I do not care
So if I like a guy I like him, and I do not care if he is bi or straight...
I have to admit I once liked a gay... hehe
umm.. nope..
My current boyfriend is. No problems there
no ...
I was with a guy who couldn't decide if he was bi or straight or gay. A totally miserable time.. Work your shit out before messing with other peoples lives..
Nope. Sorry, but... no.
I currently am and don't mind. I actually think it's hot
I wouldn't have a problem with it.
I've done it before and didn't have a problem
Personally I would not but some girls would
Nope, i wouldn't
I would date a bi guy.
I am dating a bisexual guy! It was hard for me to get used to the fact since I have never been with a bisexual guy, but I support gays and bis and I like him so much, so I support him too.
Yes I would. You're attracted to both sexes, that's nothing to be ashamed of! You know what you like and if someone has a problem with that means they have a problem with who you are which never makes a good relationship anyway. Also keep strong, I know a lot of people are close minded about bisexual people and think they're being selfish or denying that they are gay. That is in no way shape of form true, embrace who you are and what you like with no apologies
Nope. I would be skeptical.
I don't think so. My boyfriend is 110% straight.
I would, I don't see why not.
You cannot undo this action. The opinion owner is going to be notified and earn 7 XPER points.

Wireless networks in Windows 8 will be supported as never before. Quicker time to connect to WiFi, easy access to 3G networks, data meter and transfer rate limitation are just some of the new features in W8.
The wireless connection concept in Windows 8 had to be rebuilt, given that this version would also target mobile devices (such as tablets). To start with, one information about WiFi. A huge change will be the speed of connecting to the network after waking up from sleep: it will take just a little over a second.
Now: huge changes in 3G. Windows 8 will not be able to handle drivers, programs, and other add-ons that are included with 3G modems. Windows 8 will connect to the network itself and will continue to count on data consumed by us to avoid shocking the account. In W8 you will even be able to enable the transfer saving feature, which for example disables automatic updates by Windows Update. In Task Manager you will also see which application uses the most transfer – the new Windows counts. When we are within reach of a known WiFi network, 3G connectivity will be automatically disabled.

Re: [political-graveyard] Big incumbent loss blowouts (Re: Political Birthdays July 8th)
Expand Messages
- Ah, yes, the 1972. That was, surprisingly, an easy one for me to get. I too find it interesting to look back and see where Barone was dead on the money and where he totally missed some. A possible inclusion to that list of missed calls, in the 2004 edition, no mention is made of Melissa Bean, who held Rep. Phil Crane to 57% (one of his lowest) in the 2002 race. You'd think a 30 some odd year US Rep held to a 14 point win would merit the challenger some mention. Granted this might not matter to me now if Bean had not been successful in 2004, 52%-48%.
I must say, I'm tickled that one of my very few posts has led to such a discussion.

plugging them). I managed to acquire every single edition (including
the "fabled" 1972 1st edition), save for the 2004 edition (which I
haven't bought yet), through eBay. It's also interesting to note
Barone's political evolution from the first to the most recent. He
started out fairly liberal (fresh out of college) after putting
together the first issue, and moved rightward throughout the years.
Also seeing where he was "dead on the money" with his
prognostications with some members, and not so much with others.
