(Voters are limited to the House)
As the sun's auburn rays start to go down,tensions which had filled the city diffuses slowly. You start to see smiles on those thousands of scowled faces which had passed by and will continue to. The artificial lights start to play taking dominance from the Sun. Only those who bother can see the moon and the stars are out. Most people can only see what fun is ahead after a hectic day at work. Horns and music fills the air, what would have freaked out people in the day was now a kind of solace.
There is no rush,just calm anticipation,so many options available and not all are decided by your wallet. Just at the corner side a street show is going on drawing people from their leisure walk home, the joints are filled to the brim,whirling waitresses and waiters hurry to fill orders made,voices so high the lowest is the pitch a child makes trying to draw his mother's attention.
A child points at the akara seller at the road side,the aroma had gotten to him just as those teeming around the woman. Its obvious what he wants,his hopes high;his mother shook her head and tries to drag him away. He starts to wail believing if he does enough she will buy,poor woman, she can only hide her reluctance by chanting his 'Oriki' but even that did not work,lifting him up so that they could move someone taps her shoulder and offer her son a wrap of akara she protests but he collects and thank them. How nice the night make some people and how bad some turn.
In a dark alley three blocks away from a night club alive with people swaying to the latest beats,one lone person is been cornered and coerced into doing away with their belongings even to the shoes on his feet.
Young couples holding hands walking down another street leaves much to the imagination just as sellers hawk everything from drinks to appliances. And how sweet their words sound as they convince you the merits of one product to another. And if one isn't careful one might go home with hands full of goods and little cash.
It is a good thing the sky is not clouded with rain which would have soak to the skin those who had decided to make the sky their roof,the queue waiting for the next serving of akara and even the sellers who roam the streets still the Sun comes back to claim it's spot. Nothing not even the rain stops the city at night.
Even with the rain a band of merry makers drunk, just a like ,will evade arrest by the smartly dressed police officer who just want to stay dry and 30 minutes later an ambulance goes running by to pick them all up. Racing back to the hospital just in time to save them.
The doctor sigh and hung his coat,another shift done,another to take his place. He puts a call home to inform them of his coming. The children jump up in delight and try to stay awake but lose the battle to sleep. How they do it with the next door neighbour's dog barking only goodness know. Its only a warning to the school boy who had jumped in from the school fence who was sneaking out after lights out to savour the night life. Everything fascinates and amaze,all senses are put to use. Common sense might fly away all in the haste to get one's fill.
Grab common sense and you would have grabbed your wallet and if lucky you might not spend the rest of the night in a police cell for being somewhere at the wrong time. Even when they,the people of the night,end up sleeping they dream of the night and in an effort to shift back if possible the worries that the Sun rises with.
One of our class projects last year was to write about our place of origin.Mine is Egba, it was fun and educative,so I have decided to share it and I hope it greatly helps anyone in their search in unserstanding the Egbas.
The Egba are a subgroup of the Yoruba tribe who live in Western Nigeria.The term 'Egba' probably comes from Egbalugbo,which may be rendered as 'wanderers towards the forest' on the analogy of Egbado or Egbaluwe,which E.P.Cotton,in his report on the Egba Boundary 1905,gave as the 'wanderers towards the river'. The Egbado were the people of the waterside whilst the Egba proper were dwellers in the forest. Another conjecture is that the Egba were led into the forest by one Esegba,from whom they took their name,but the most popular origin of the word connotes open handed generosity,which was considered to be the distinguishing trait of the Egba.To assert the exact boundary of the Egba then The Rev Samuel Johnson is quoted he says,' The Egba originally occupied the area bounded by certain imaginary lines drawn say from the same point via Ibadan to the West of Jebu Remo down to the Coast'
The Egba penetrated the Egba forest in three successive waves in the 13th or 14th century A.D. One wave went slightly to the northwest of Ile-Ife and settled in the region of modern Oyo. Their group of towns constituted the province of Gbagura,i.e Egba Agura,the Egba under the Agura,their group oba,Iddo,which is now part of Ibadan,was their capital. Another wave went beyond the first to the south and crossed the Ona River,which gave the people their name Egba Oke-Ona. The Oshiele was their group Oba and Oko their capital. The third wave went further still and bought the Egba into contact with the Ijebu Remo and within the coast. This wave,which because the leading group,was at first called Egba Agbeyin,with the Ojoko of Kesi as the dominant Oba. Its present name,Egba Alake,is bound up with what was probably a fourth and certainly the last major wave of migration into the Egba forest.
Ajalake,a descendant of the House of Oduduwa,the main Yoruba royal lineage,went,according to tradition, with the Alaketu to Ketu,where he became a weaver .Later,he was led into the Egba Forest by Ako- Agbo,a Ketu hunter,and there founded the town of Ake. One tradition has it that he obtained paramountcy in Egba Agbeyin by breaking the Ojoko's monopoly in corn and free distributed maize seeds to all. Kesi people denied this and gave a more mystical explanation: the Alake's claim rested upon the division of a ram in which,after all his brothers had taken choice parts,he was left with the head,interpreted by their mother as symbol of over-all authority. The truth was probably that the Alake,by the direct descent from Oduduwa possessed a prestige that raised him above the rivalry of municipal kings. Ake became the capital town and the name of the group was changed from Egba Agbeyin to Egba Alake. The Alake himself is chosen primarily by five towns which were adjacent. To one another and may be taken to have formed the core of the Alake migration. These Omo-Iya or Sister towns shall retain their premier position this present day.
The three Egba groups were unalike in the Egba forest,but their distinguished features have been greatly obscured by common residence at Abeokuta,inter marriage,and other influences. They all probably gave their children the characteristic Egba marks of three short vertical strokes on either cheek,the Abaja or Pele. Difference have however, perished in their speech. They all speak the Yoruba language but in different dialects which reflect the prevailing usage in their localities in the Egba Forest. The Egba Alake people,for example,tend to approximate their speech pattern to that of Ijebu Remo,their neighbours,through they maintain the individuality of their dialect.
The basis of their communal life was the town. There were intercourse among the people of the various towns,each of which as fortified .The people lived in towns for safety, farming near their towns and gathering the fruits of the surrounding forest . In the market, which was a feature of every town,they exchanged their surplus products among themselves and with their not-too-distant neighbours. This simple economy,based largely upon barter,required a certain amount of security,law and order. At the head of each town was an Oba,who was the ultimate source of justice in the town. He was also the High Priest,but never a despot.He was much more the symbol of authority than the instrument of its exercise. The real rulers of the town were the Ogboni. The Egba brought the Ogboni institution with them from Ile-Ife and developed it to such an extent that has became the most characteristics Egba institution.
Egba was under the Oyo lordship and paid tributes in exchange for protection against external forces. The Alafin's Ilari assuming the role of chiefs priests of Shango,the deified Alafin of Oyo and the Yoruba Thunder god,exploited the religious fears of the people to feather their nests and in order to exact enormous tribute for the Alafin. Lishabi decided to liberate the Egba by massacring these oppressors. The Egba achieved their independence during the Civil War at Oyo which led to the downfall of and condign punishment of Gaha,the Bashroun,who had usurped the prerogatives of the Alafin and had indulged a reign of terror. Lishabi gathered the three Egba provinces and joined them together,fought and got rid of Oyo imperialism in the late 18th century. 600 Ilari were believed to have been slain .
The Alafin,Abiodun,having regained his authority at Oyo sent a force in the hopes of reconquering the territory. Lishabi made an ambush for the Oyo army and they walked unsuspecting into it. The result was a rout. Lishabi had united the Egba and they were able to defeat their enemies. He became unpopular after awhile because he wanted Egba to have a standing army and the Egba wanted to concertante on farming . Subsequently, he perished in a sudden Dahomian raid or mysteriously took his life. He is, however, remembered as the father of the Egba,'Egba Omo Lisabi' their Liberator and their Lawgiver.
After Lishabi's death there was a return to the status quo- town rivalries and jealousies. 'Civil Wars' were fought and this further broke their unity. The Owu War which was between Ife,Ijebu and Owu signalled the coming destruction of the Egba . During the War,the Egba remained neutral but that didn't prevent them from being destroyed by the victorious allies (Ijebu and Ife) on the pretext that they aided the Owu and this also increased their opportunities for slave -hunting. Some Egba town collaborated with the allies but it did not save them from been destroyed because of their mutual jealousies they were destroyed. The only Gbagura town that was not destroyed was Ibadan.
The Egba went to Ibadan where they organised themselves and evolved,the first truly federal organisation, an all- Egba military command .They helped defeat the Fulani. Subsequently events in Ibadan made the Egba realise they were only wanted in Ibadan as slaves. They extricated themselves and encamped on the other side of the Ona River,leaving some leaders behind as hostages. A plot was made to eliminate these leaders ,it failed,Lamodi,who was an Egba Balogun,lost his life while trying to join the Egba in their trans-Ona settlement. Shodeke,the seriki,assured the leadership of the Egba. After their escape the allies attacked them but the Egba were able to defeat them,they found out they needed to move further away from Ibadan before they could be safe.
During the dispersal from Egba forest three Egba hunters had taken refuge upon a rock,the ownership of the land was however disputed. According to the Egba before the hunters got there,an Itoko man who had escape to his distant farmland when Itoko was destroyed and sought refugee with the Olubara of Ibara before crossing the Ogun River. He recrossed and settle on his farm where the hunters joined him and they made the settlement famous under the name of Abeokuta' or 'Under-stone' taken from their cave dwellings under the overhanging of the rock. The Egbado claimed that it was named 'Oko Adagba' after Adagba the Egbado host of the three hunters;the Egba countered by claiming Adagba as an Egba hero who twice repelled attackers upon the settlement singlehanded.
When the main body of Egba refugees arrived they called their new settlement Abeokuta. Before they moved to Abeokuta, Shodeke had obtained soil samples which he tested in order to satisfy hi.self that the region was fertile enough to support an influx of people. He then detailed an advance party to cut a wide track through the forest to the chosen site. The evacuation was careful planned. Shodeke and the Egba Alake constituted the Vanguard, they were followed by Agbo,who led the Gbagura people. The Oke-Ona people bought up the rear, with Lunloye,the Balogun of Ilugun,as their leader. A skeleton force under Agburin of Ilugun,Shoge,and Lashiho protected the rear and fought delaying actions against Maye's pursuing army. Two of these chiefs eventually joined the others at Abeokuta but the third,Lashiho,the Oshiele of Ilugun,settled at a place seven miles off and founded a permanent look-out post which was named Oshiele after him.
The main body of Egba entered Abeokuta during the lull in the rainy season of 1830's and settled on the western side of the Olumo Rock. This founding settlement was bounded on the north by the present Ikija quarter and on the south by the Ignore quarter . Remnants of the Old towns formed townships or quarters to which they gave the names of their former towns. Some prefixed 'Ago' or camp to the names in order yo keep alive the desire to return to the old locations in less troubled times in the future. The Egba surrounded the new settlement with a wall which was adjusted as new refugees arrived and formed their own quarters. Shodeke allotted land to the new-comers and the settlement quickly spread over parcels of land formerly farmed by the Itoko and I emo people. For this reason,Egba tradition regards the people of these townships as the owners of the site of Abeokuta. Shodeke had the clear vision that unless the Egba could consolidate their strength and employ it in the defense of a single town,they were doomed as a people. He therefore threw open the gates of Abeokuta to all Egba refugees in order to render the town,by sheer force of numbers,an impregnable fortress. He extended his 'open-door' policy to all the 'displaced persons' of that era of anarchy and disruption.
The Owu were the greatest single body of wanderers who appeared before Abeokuta. After their town was destroyed, they regrouped and migrated towards the coast. They arrived opposite Abeokuta and debated amongst themselves where to settle. They had the option of the Dahomey or to settle at Gaun on the Ogun River,which Ifa had advised. Shodeke realised the value of the accession of the heroic Owu to the Egba cause and successfully pleaded the mutual advantages of a united Egba and Owu settlement at Abeokuta. The Owu reluctantly agreed to join the Egba,knowing that the journey to Gaun was hazardous and that the disposition of the king of Dahomey was unpredictable. Led by Lara, they crossed the Ogun River into Abeokuta and settled on the nearby hill which they named 'Ago Owu' or Owu camp and 'did not unpack' . Thus the fourth section came into Abeokuta as Egba Owu.

This is an excerpt from an ongoing novel,please send in comments letting me know if I should continue or improve . Cheers. ( Exams start today)
Chapter 7
Bestie thinks I'm lucky to be here. I smiled sadly,no I'm not lucky,it was more of an escape than an holiday as most people think.
After my escapade that day with Aunty Jumoke,we have being avoiding each other and we rarely talk. I tried to but she always silence me up with a look.
We were like strangers living in the same house.
One Saturday just after my post utme I was making Ogi and Aunty Yewande was frying Akara. It was our family tradition,every Saturday we had Ogi and Akara and today was no exception.
I poured ogi for each of us in bowls,ever since that day I haven't made food for her but because today was Saturday and because I made the Ogi I dished Aunty Jumoke's own too.
I was trying to be nice for goodness sake she is my blood sister. Even my class snob I didn't treat the way she is treating me but I bear it all because she is my sister and because Mom asked me to.
I took the bowls to the dining,collected Akara and kept them in a bigger cooler. I also took that to the dining table,I took sugar and milk from the shelf and set the table.
Everyone came out for breakfast,our dining was nearer to the kitchen in fact only a wall and a door separates them.
Mom prayed over the food and we all eat. I was sitting beside mom as usual and Aunty Yewande and Aunty Jumoke were sitting opposite us backing the kitchen door.
Aunty Jumoke took four cubes of sugar,three spoons of milk and added hot water to her Ogi then she mixed it all up.
She took six pieces of Akara in a plate and dig in.
She tasted the Ogi and swallowed it,pausing then she bited into an Akara and chewed.
'Yewande,She said,you have really improved. Your Ogi is way better than the last one you made and the Akara is perfect well done'
I smiled,Aunty Jumoke just complement me and she didn't even know. I grinned and ate my Akara.
'The Ogi wasn't my work but am glad you like the Akara'
I looked at Aunty Yewe and begged with my eyes not to tell her it was me and she seems to understand. Unfortunately the glowing feeling inside wasn't meant to last.
'So you let mom make the Ogi?' She asked after swallowing two spoons of Ogi.
'I didn't make the Ogi Jumoke' Mom said and continued with her food.
Aunty Jumoke had just swallowed a spoon of Ogi when she realised who did,she hurriedly stood up and went to the kitchen to throw up. She was seriously throwing up like she wanted everything in her stomach out.
'Jumoke she ko si? Mom asked pausing to check if she was ok. (I hope there is no problem)
'Mummy bawo le se ma funmi ni ounje ti ki ni ye se. Do you want me to die? She asked (how would you give me the food this thing prepared)
And there was I,sitting right there and she was talking like I wasnt there. I lifted hurt eyes to mom's and a tear dropped.
'What nonsense are you saying? Isn't the same Ogi we are all drinking' She asked her,she was getting angry and her voice shook as she asked.
Aunty Jumoke was unmoved 'She could have put something in mine and since am not ready to die…'
She took her bowl of Ogi and poured it down the sink in front of our eyes.
I couldn't take it anymore.
'How dare you? I screamed standing up I went to met her in the kitchen. We were almost the same height just a few inches more and I will be as tall as her.
'How could you accuse me of poisoning you? Do I look like a killer to you? I asked her,I was red in the face already and I tried controlling my self.
She hissed and pushed me out of the way and unfounately into the path of the shimmering oil that was sitting on the sink. The impact was short,the pain brief until I heard myself screaming loudly.
'Ki lo fi she Omo mi? Mom shouted running into the kitchen. There was no need for an explanation, Mom's face answered it all,I saw Aunty Jumoke face hold remorse for a second then it was gone when mom started shouting on her. I closed my eyes and tears started to form,the stinging was acurate and it seems to spread,I clam up and bear the pain internally. I felt a coldness and then soft hands lifting me. I felt the bed and knew it was Mom's.
'Gbe Vasline wa,sa re' Mom called out.
She rubbed it in gently yet I still felt the pain but I held it in. Some thing kept dropping on me but I refused to open my eyes.
'It is going to be alright,I promise you. You are going to be safe. Nothing like this would ever happen again'
She sobbed into my hair. I turned my exposed arm away from her falling tears as they ignite the pain. I really wished I didn't,for she started a weeping party that went on forever.
"If any man should buy another man and compel him to his service and slavery without any agreement of that man to serve him, the enslaver is a robber. It is as much the duty of a man who is robbed in that manner to get out of the hands of his enslaver, as it is for any honest community of men to get out of the hands of rogues and villains."

Living cells are the masters of hierarchical building, assembling, for instance, amino acids into proteins and then proteins into more complex structures. On page 384, chemists report imitating this skill, creating molecules that assemble themselves first into clusters, then sheets, then thick films. Because all the building-block molecules are oriented the same way in the films, they have a bottom surface that is sticky and a top that is slick. This property could make the films useful for everything from anti-icing coatings on airplane wings to anti-blood-clot linings for artificial blood vessels.

As I'm sure you all now the premiere for Georgie's new movie Perfect Sisters was held yesterday in LA! This was the first premiere Georgie attended since 2011 and she did not disappoint, over the night we have been overflowed with pictures and videos from both the premiere and the press conference before. For the press conference Georgie wore a cute white and blue Topshop dress, but went for a little classier and chic style for the premiere, wearing a jacket and skirt by Mulberry and white Topshop top. Topping it all of with a classy bun and accessorised with a Jimmy Choo clutch and Mulbery heels. She looked absolutely gorgeous!
Georgie was joined on the red carpet by the director Stan Brooks and her co-stars Zoë Belkin and Jeffrey Ballard. Sadly Abigail Breslin did not attend. On top of everything there's a lot of news articles about the movie, sharing both new stills and new clips! I've added a new still of Georgie in our gallery and all the interviews and movie clips can be found over at Georgie Central's Youtube page. Hopefully we'll get more photos and interviews from the night so keep an eye out in our gallery!

Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) is an essential molecular chaperone in eukaryotes that facilitates the conformational maturation and function of a diverse protein clientele, including aberrant and/or over-expressed proteins that are involved in cancer growth and survival. A role for Hsp90 in supporting the protein homeostasis of cancer cells has buoyed interest in the utility of Hsp90 inhibitors as anti-cancer drugs. Despite the fact that all clinically evaluated Hsp90 inhibitors target an identical nucleotide-binding pocket in the N domain of the chaperone, the precise determinants that affect drug binding in the cellular environment remain unclear, and it is possible that chemically distinct inhibitors may not share similar binding preferences. Here we demonstrate that two chemically unrelated Hsp90 inhibitors, the benzoquinone ansamycin geldanamycin and the purine analog PU-H71, select for overlapping but not identical subpopulations of total cellular Hsp90, even though both inhibitors bind to an amino terminal nucleotide pocket and prevent N domain dimerization. Our data also suggest that PU-H71 is able to access a broader range of N domain undimerized Hsp90 conformations than is geldanamycin and is less affected by Hsp90 phosphorylation, consistent with its broader and more potent anti-tumor activity. A more complete understanding of the impact of the cellular milieu on small molecule inhibitor binding to Hsp90 should facilitate their more effective use in the clinic.
Normal eukaryotic cells depend on the molecular chaperone heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) to maintain protein homeostasis [1-2]. Because of their genetic instability and stressful environment, cancer cells display a greater dependence on Hsp90 and other components of the cellular homeostatic machinery. As a result, Hsp90 has become an attractive target for cancer therapy and there are currently 17 chemically distinct Hsp90 inhibitors being evaluated in cancer clinical trials [3]. Promising data from trials evaluating Hsp90 inhibitors have been reported for several cancers, including non-small cell lung cancer and HER2+ breast cancer [4-7].
Hsp90 is a dimer formed from two identical protomers. Each protomer contains three domains: an amino-terminal (N) domain that contains a nucleotide binding pocket shared by ATP and inhibitory drugs, and several co-chaperone (proteins regulating Hsp90 function)-interacting motifs; a middle (M) domain that harbors sites for client interaction and additional co-chaperone binding motifs, and a carboxy-terminal (C) domain that contains a dimerization motif and interaction sites for additional co-chaperones. Upon ATP binding to the N domain, Hsp90 undergoes an ordered series of conformational changes, termed the chaperone cycle, that begin with transient dimerization of the N domains to confer ATPase competence. Coupled with ATP hydrolysis and with the assistance of defined co-chaperones, this chaperone cycle allows Hsp90 to modify client protein conformation/stability [8-10]. Hsp90 inhibitors interfere with this cycle at its early stages by replacing ATP, leading to the regulated ubiquitination and proteasome-mediated degradation of most client proteins [11].
Accumulating evidence suggests that, despite targeting an identical binding site, chemically distinct Hsp90 inhibitors may preferentially recognize and trap various conformational states of the chaperone [12]. While recent analyses utilizing in vitro reconstituted systems have shed light on several aspects of Hsp90-inhibitor interaction, such studies do not recapitulate the presentation of Hsp90 in the human cancer cell, including the potentially complex impact of the chaperone's numerous and dynamic posttranslational modifications on drug binding[13-20].
To begin to better understand these parameters, we have investigated the impact of the cellular milieu on the binding preferences and consequences of two chemically unrelated Hsp90 inhibitors, the benzoquinone ansamycin geldanamycin (GA) and the purine analog PU-H71 (PU). Further, we queried the ability of these inhibitors to access similar Hsp90 conformational states. Our data suggest that PU samples a more diverse repertoire of Hsp90 conformations compared to GA, and these differences are amplified in a cellular context. However, both inhibitors prevent the N domain dimerization that is necessary for a productive chaperone cycle. We also find that inhibitor binding is not uniformly affected by Hsp90 phosphorylation. These data suggest that additional posttranslational modifications may differentially affect drug binding and influence their cellular Hsp90 inhibitory activity in ways not predicted by in vitro analysis.
In order to investigate the binding preferences of GA and PU in cancer cells, we used drug-conjugated agarose as an investigative tool. Consistent with a recent study [12], we found that repeated challenge of a tumor cell protein lysate with GA- or PU-conjugated agarose beads could not capture the entire Hsp90 population, although PU-beads were able to capture a larger fraction of Hsp90 compared to GA-beads (Figure (Figure1A).1A). The unbound Hsp90 fraction retained affinity for Hsp90-specific antibody and ATP-conjugated agarose ([12], and data not shown), suggesting that although it was not accessible to drugs, this population of Hsp90 maintained a native conformation. Repeated challenge of recombinant Hsp90 protein with drug-beads yielded a qualitatively similar result, although the discrepancy between GA- and PU-beads was less apparent (Fig. (Fig.1B).1B). To discern whether the Hsp90 populations isolated by each inhibitor were mutually exclusive, we subjected a tumor cell lysate to several rounds of GA-agarose followed by several rounds of PU-agarose, and vice versa. We found that, after depletion of the GA-bindable population, there remained a significant fraction of Hsp90 with affinity for PU (Fig. (Fig.1C,1C, top panel). However, the reverse was not true, suggesting that the GA-bindable cellular Hsp90 pool is contained within a more abundant PU-bindable fraction (Fig. (Fig.1C,1C, bottom panel). When we performed a similar analysis using recombinant Hsp90 protein, we observed less divergence between GA-bindable and PU-bindable populations (Fig. (Fig.1D),1D), suggesting that cell-dependent modifications of Hsp90 contribute to this discrepancy. Treatment of whole cells with excess soluble drug support this interpretation, as PU-agarose was able to capture Hsp90 not quenched by soluble GA, but soluble PU completely inhibited Hsp90 interaction with immobilized GA (data not shown).
Different Hsp90 conformations display characteristic protease sensitivity profiles [21-22]. Therefore, we used trypsin proteolysis to further investigate the state of GA- and PU-bound Hsp90. Previously described major tryptic cleavage sites in the middle (**) and C-terminal (*) domains of Hsp90 [21-22] are shown in Figure Figure1E.1E. After initial affinity pulldown of purified recombinant Hsp90 protein with drug-bound agarose, we incubated samples with increasing concentrations of trypsin and we visualized the resultant protein fragments by Western blotting with Hsp90 antibodies recognizing either N- or C-terminal epitopes. We found that PU-bound Hsp90 displayed somewhat greater resistance to trypsin than did the GA-bound protein (Figure (Figure1F).1F). To test whether a similar pattern existed in vivo, we used drug beads to affinity capture Hsp90 from SkBr3 cell lysate (Figure (Figure1G).1G). PU-bound Hsp90 was markedly more protected at both major protease cleavage sites, consistent with a more compact structure compared to GA-bound Hsp90.
Based on measurements using purified proteins, GA and PU display similar Hsp90 binding efficiencies (GA Kd = 1.35 μM, PU Kd = 0.78 μM). Therefore, the disparate binding profiles of GA and PU in cells, shown in Figure Figure1,1, likely are influenced by factors in the cellular environment. Supporting this hypothesis, a recent study found that PU-beads readily affinity purify a population of Hsp90 bound to clients [12], in contrast to GA beads [23]. We sought to verify this discrepancy by screening for the presence of well-documented Hsp90 clients in our pulldown system. Kinases comprise a large part of the Hsp90 clientele [24] and Hsp90-dependent kinases are delivered to the chaperone by p50Cdc37, an Hsp90 co-chaperone that maintains Hsp90's ATP lid in an open conformation to facilitate client loading [25-28]. Therefore, we investigated the presence of p50Cdc37 in GA- and PU-bound Hsp90 populations. This co-chaperone co-precipitated to a much greater degree with PU-bound than with GA-bound Hsp90 (Figure (Figure2A).2A). Further examination of affinity captured Hsp90 complexes revealed that PU-bound Hsp90 was associated to a much greater degree than was GA-bound Hsp90 with the client kinases ErbB2 (Figure (Figure2B)2B) and v-Src (Figure (Figure2C).2C). Pre-treatment of intact cells with radicicol, a chemically unrelated N-terminal Hsp90 inhibitor that occupies the same nucleotide binding pocket as does PU (and GA), abrogated both ErbB2 and v-Src pulldown by PU-beads (Figure 2D, E), confirming specificity. These data support the likelihood that PU, in contrast to GA, can access and efficiently trap Hsp90 species bound to p50Cdc37 and client kinases.
Because PU-bound Hsp90 remains associated with client proteins, we asked whether the drug may allow some degree of N domain dimerization, which is thought to confer more avid client binding to Hsp90 [29-30]. First, in order to visualize N domain dimers of purified Hsp90 we performed cross-linking with dimethyl suberimidate (DMS) in the presence of AMP-PNP (a non-hydrolyzable ATP analog), ADP, GA or PU, and we assessed N domain dimerization by Western blot. Only AMP-PNP promoted significant N domain dimerization (Figure (Figure2F).2F). Averaged densitometric scans of these results are depicted in Figure Figure2G,2G, where the arrow identifies the degree of N-terminally dimerized Hsp90 protein.
To confirm these results, we performed fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) analysis using purified yeast Hsp90 with FRET probes on the N domain of one protomer and on the M domain of the other protomer. N domain dimerization is a prerequisite for FRET to be generated by the close opposition of these two domains. As in the previous experiment, only the stable ATP analog ATPγS induced a FRET signal (Figure (Figure2H).2H). In contrast, neither GA nor PU was able to do so. Finally, using fluorescence anisotropy generated by fluorescein-labeled p23 binding (which requires N domain dimerization [31]), we found that neither GA nor PU supported p23 binding to Hsp90, again in contrast to AMP-PNP (Figure (Figure2I)2I) and consistent with the impact of these drugs on p23 binding to Hsp90 in cells [23, 32]. This was confirmed by FRET analysis with donor-labeled p23 and acceptor-labeled yeast Hsp90, where only after addition of AMP-PNP was an increase of acceptor fluorescence detectable (data not shown). These data agree with our earlier observation that p50Cdc37 was found in PU-bead pulldowns of Hsp90, since ATP lid closure, which is antagonized by this co-chaperone [27], initiates the conformational changes necessary for N domain dimerization and establishment of the p23 binding motif [31, 33-34]. Taken together, our findings definitively show that neither GA nor PU binding to Hsp90 is compatible with N domain dimerization, suggesting that the client-interacting Hsp90 species trapped by PU-beads must be in an 'open' (e.g., N domain undimerized) conformation.
To explore further the range of open Hsp90 conformations accessible by PU and GA, we assessed drug binding to purified yeast Hsp90 protein engineered with an N-terminal coiled-coil "clamp" to enforce N domain proximity (but not N domain dimerization) and to limit the range of available N domain undimerized conformations ([35], cartoon depicted in Figure Figure3A).3A). Although our protease sensitivity data suggested a model in which GA preferentially traps a more open, extended form of Hsp90 compared to PU, we found that equilibrium binding of GA to both wild-type (NMC) and coiled-coil (coilNMC) yeast Hsp90 protein was similar, based on fluorescence anisotropy of BODIPY-GA (Figure (Figure3B),3B), suggesting that GA can also access a more compact Hsp90 conformation, as previously proposed [36]. Further, we found that both GA- and PU-beads efficiently isolated coiled-coil Hsp90 from yeast lysates, compared to wild-type Hsp90 (Figure (Figure3C,3C, top panel, 'yHsp90' blots).
The yeast mitogen-activated protein kinase Slt2/MPK1, which is involved in cell wall integrity, has been found associated with Hsp90 only after activation with 10 mM caffeine, presumably because association of the inactive kinase with Hsp90 is too weak to be detectable with standard pull-down techniques [37]. Pull-down of wild-type Hsp90 from yeast lysate confirmed these results (Figure (Figure3C,3C, bottom panel, left two lanes). In contrast with these data, PU-beads, but not GA-beads, co-precipitated detectable amounts of non-activated Slt2/MPK1 with wild-type Hsp90 from yeast lysate (Figure (Figure3C,3C, top panel, left two lanes, 'Slt2/MPK1' blots), suggesting that as in mammalian cells PU is able to trap and stabilize a subpopulation of the open Hsp90 conformation displaying stronger affinity for weakly interacting Hsp90 client proteins. Interestingly, coiled-coil Hsp90 also associated efficiently with non-activated Slt2/MPK1 (Figure (Figure3C,3C, bottom panel, right two lanes), and both PU-beads and GA-beads pulled down non-activated Slt2/MPK1 associated with coiled-coil Hsp90 (Figure (Figure3C,3C, top panel, right two lanes). These findings are consistent with a model of Hsp90/client interaction in which the compact, N domain undimerized Hsp90 conformation (stabilized by the presence of an N domain coiled-coil motif but normally comprising a minor percentage of the open wild-type Hsp90 population at steady-state) possesses unexpected avidity for weakly interacting client proteins, and this conformation is preferentially accessible to PU and perhaps to other Hsp90 inhibitors.
While these data suggest that GA or PU binding preferences depend on the conformational state of Hsp90, the influence of cellular environment on these parameters implies that posttranslational modification of Hsp90 may contribute to inhibitor selectivity [13-20]. Protein phosphorylation/dephosphorylation is one of the most dynamic regulatory processes in cells and growing evidence suggests that Hsp90 phosphorylation contributes to Hsp90 regulation in eukaryotes ([14-17, 20]; also see Phosphosite Plus website). Thus, we asked whether Hsp90 phosphorylation status affected recognition by GA- or PU-beads. First, we observed that, in the presence of the potent phosphotyrosine phosphatase inhibitor bpV(phen), PU-beads captured tyrosine-phosphorylated Hsp90 with greater efficiency than did GA-beads (Figure (Figure4A).4A). Next, using a site-specific phospho-Hsp90 antibody (anti-pY197, numbering for human Hsp90α [20]), we confirmed that Hsp90α phosphorylated endogenously on Y197 bound to PU- but not to GA-beads (Figure (Figure4B).4B). Likewise, when purified Hsp90α was subjected to in vitro phosphorylation with purified v-Src protein prior to challenge with GA- or PU-beads, we observed a similar preference of GA-beads for non-phosphorylated Hsp90 (Figure (Figure4C4C).
Since the phosphorylation status of Y197 affects GA binding more severely than it does PU binding, we queried the ability of phosphomimetic (Y197E) and non-phosphorylatable (Y197F) Hsp90α mutants to bind to GA- and PU-beads. Since this tyrosine residue is conserved in Hsp90β (Y192), we also examined drug-bead binding to the equivalent Hsp90β mutants (Y192E and Y192F). In agreement with our previous data, interaction of either phosphomimetic mutant (Hsp90α-Y197E or Hsp90β-Y192E) with GA-beads was undetectable, while GA-beads bound the non-phosphorylatable mutants (Hsp90α-Y197F and Hsp90β-Y192F) similarly to wild-type Hsp90 (Figure (Figure4D).4D). In contrast, binding of PU-beads to both Hsp90α and Hsp90β was minimally affected by these mutations, consistent with the hypothesis that the phosphorylation status of this tyrosine residue may be an important determinant of GA binding but has minimal impact on PU binding.
Finally, we examined whether the phosphorylation status of a second conserved tyrosine (Y301 in Hsp90β and Y309 in Hsp90α) affected drug binding. Although PU binding was not influenced by mutation of this residue in either Hsp90 isoform, phosphomimetic mutation of this tyrosine in Hsp90β (Y301E) markedly reduced GA binding. Interestingly, we did not observe similar effects for Hsp90α, where neither phosphomimetic nor non-phosphorylatable mutation (Y309E and Y309F, respectively) altered GA binding (Figure (Figure4E).4E). These observations suggest that the phosphorylation status of this residue may provide isoform specificity to GA (but not PU) binding.
Taken together, our data suggest that, although N domain small molecule Hsp90 inhibitors sharing the same binding pocket and possessing comparable affinities for Hsp90 similarly inhibit the chaperone cycle at an early stage, they may preferentially access distinct populations of the open conformation and are not equally affected by Hsp90 posttranslational modification. As proof of principle, we have shown here that PU-H71 accesses a broader range of open Hsp90 conformations than does geldanamycin and it is less affected by Hsp90 phosphorylation, consistent with its broader and more potent cellular activity [12]. Importantly, we have shown also that phosphorylation can provide isoform specificity to Hsp90 inhibitor binding. Although in vitro reconstituted systems have provided valuable information concerning Hsp90 structure and interactions with co-chaperones, client proteins and N domain inhibitors, such studies cannot assess the influence of cellular environmental factors on these parameters, including the potentially complex impact of the chaperone's numerous and dynamic posttranslational modifications on drug binding. As our current data clearly demonstrate, the cellular milieu strongly influences these parameters in ways not predicted by in vitro observations, thus providing an additional level of complexity to optimal Hsp90 targeting in vivo.
The HER2+ breast cancer cell line SkBr3 was obtained from the American Type Culture Collection. The embryonic kidney epithelial cell lines HEK293-H and HEK293-T were purchased from Invitrogen. NIH-3T3 fibroblasts expressing v-Src were a kind gift from O. Sartor (Tulane University) [38-39]. Cells were cultured in McCoy's 5A (SkBr3) or DMEM (293-T, 293-H) media supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (Life Technologies). All cell lines were propagated at 37°C in an atmosphere containing 5% CO2. After washing in PBS, adherent cells were lysed in TNES buffer (50 mM Tris pH7.5, 1% NP40, 2 mM EDTA, 100 mM NaCl) with freshly-added protease and/or phosphatase inhibitor tablets (Roche). Total soluble protein concentration was determined using the BCA protein quantification kit (Thermo Scientific Pierce) following the manufacturer's instructions.
293-H cells were transfected with pcDNA3.1-Flag-tagged Hsp90 constructs (wild-type Hsp90α, wild-type Hsp90β, Hsp90α-Y197E and -Y197F, Hsp90β-Y192E and -Y192F, Hsp90α-Y309E and –Y309F, and Hsp90β-Y301E and –Y301F) using FuGENE6 or XtremeGENE9 transfection reagents (Roche) following the manufacturer's instructions. After incubation for 18 h, cells were lysed as above and assayed for protein expression and drug-conjugated agarose binding.
Yeast strain pp30 (MAT a, trp1-289, leu2-3,112, his3-200, ura3-52, ade2-101, lys2-801, hsc82KANMX4, hsp82KANMX4) [40] carrying either wild-type Hsp82 (NMC), or Hsp82 with N-terminal coiled-coils (coilNMC) [35] were used in this study. Yeast were grown on YPD (2% (wt/vol) Bacto peptone, 1% yeast extract, 2% glucose, 20 mg/liter adenine). Selective growth was on dropout 2% glucose (DO) medium with appropriate amino acids [14]. The medium pH was adjusted to 6.8 with NaOH before autoclaving. 5-Fluoroorotic Acid (5-FOA) plates were prepared as previously described [41]. Yeast lysis was carried out as previously described [14]. The cell wall integrity MAP kinase pathway was stimulated by 10 mM caffeine.
GA-affinity beads and PU-affinity beads were synthesized as previously described [39, 42-43]. All bead conjugates were washed in lysis buffer, added to 200 - 400 μg total protein in 400 μl total volume, and rotated at 4°C for 1 h. The volume of bead conjugates used was determined by pilot experiments to insure equal amounts of Hsp90 precipitated from each cell line used, and volumes varied between batches of beads. However, in all experiments, bead volumes were 20 - 40 μl (50% slurry). Following incubation, bead conjugates were washed 3 times in lysis buffer and subjected to Western blot analysis.
Total or chemically-precipitated protein samples were separated by SDS-PAGE, transferred to nitrocellulose membrane, blocked, and probed overnight with primary antibodies against total Hsp90 (Enzo Life Sciences), ErbB2 (Thermo Scientific), v-Src (Santa Cruz Biotechnology), His (Qiagen), Slt2/MPK1 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology), N-terminal Hsp90 (Thermo Scientific Pierce), C-terminal Hsp90 (Enzo Life Sciences), pan-phospho-tyrosine (Millipore), Hsp90 phospho-Y197 (Cell Signaling Technology), or FLAG (Sigma Aldrich). After incubation with appropriate secondary antibodies, detection was performed using the SuperSignal chemiluminescence detection system (Thermo Scientific Pierce) following the manufacturer's instructions. Films were scanned using a Bio-Rad GS-700 imaging densitometer equipped with Quantity One software.
Drug-bound Hsp90 (chemically precipitated recombinant human Hsp90α or Hsp90 chemically precipitated from SkBr3 cell lysate and then washed in 500 mM NaCl to remove adventitiously associated proteins) was digested with increasing concentrations of tosyl phenylalanyl chloromethylketone (TCPK)-treated trypsin (Worthington). Reactions were incubated on ice for 6 min and digested fragments were visualized by immunoblotting with both N- and C-terminal anti-HSP90 antibodies.
BODIPY-GA was synthesized as described [44]. A 100 nM stock was reduced with 15 mM dithiothreitol in assay buffer (20 mM Tris pH 7.5, 5 mM magnesium chloride, 100 mM potassium chloride, 0.01% Nonidet P-40) for 1 hour at 4°C in order to convert GA to the high-affinity hydroquinone form. From this stock, samples with 5 nM BODIPY-GA and purified Hsp90 proteins (NMC or coilNMC) at concentrations ranging from 0-1000 nM were prepared in assay buffer with 15 mM DTT. These samples were incubated at 23°C for 1 hour prior to measurement of fluorescent anisotropy. Anisotropy measurements were made in a 0.3 cm path length cuvette on a PTI QM-4SE spectrofluorometer with excitation set to 488 nm and emission at 510 nm. The apparent Kd was determined by fitting the anisotropy measurements to a simple binding model.
Methods for performing FRET analysis were similar to those described previously [33].
Fluorescein-labeled p23 was excited at 490 nM and emission was recorded at 520 nM. Measurements were performed in 40 mM Hepes, 150 mM KCl, 5 mM MgCl2 pH 7.5 with 50 nM p23-Fluorescein and 500 nM yHsp90 at 30°C. Addition of 2 mM AMP-PNP was used as a positive control to promote N domain dimerization, thereby creating a binding site for p23.
Hsp90 N domain dimerization assay using the chemical cross-linking agent DMS was performed as described previously [34].
Human Hsp90α was N-terminally tagged with hexahistidine using pRSETA plasmid. 1 mg of bacterially expressed and purified protein was incubated with 100 μl of Ni-NTA agarose (Qiagen). 200 ng of baculovirus expressed and purified v-Src (SignalChem) was used, and kinase reactions were performed as previously described [45].

"A cavalcade of vocal fry."
I was elated to see some of Crowley's work on audible but it was a bit painful making it through this one . Keep Crowley's work coming, but dial the vocal fry WAAAAAY back. Other than that, the delivery and mixing were superb!
"Is this dogma or poetry?"
Yes. Aleister Crowley still has a grip in pop culture from beyond the grave. This was his most widely known work so it was great to hear narrated by someone youthful. Don't get it twisted, Dennis Logan sounds like he's experienced life a few times over and the way he narrated The Book of the Law may have been more appropriate for Diary of a Drug Fiend.
The irony of listening to this audiobook after hearing the comment at the end. This book might put a curse on you!
Yes, that's how I found this. Dennis Logan's done quite a few books with Joseph Lumpkin. Their version of The Book of Enoch: A Complete Guide and Reference is the best audio rendering of Enoch to date. The Gnostic Gospels and The Book of Giants are also worth mentioning. This title is in step with the quality production I'm coming to expect from him. There are no notes or comments so all the words are Crowley's. Logan put a nice spin on his approach, it's different, a little weird, a little cracked-out in parts, but that elevates this production to the level of art. Dennis Logan gave a captivating performance.
yes god yes. I love Dennis Logan's voice. Certain words send shivers down my spine. I got wet a few times, and this isn't a romance novel! Listened to it a few times in a few days. It plays like an album at about 45 minutes.
Dennis Logan really brought this title to life. Though I doubt Crowley really sounded like Logan, or anything remotely close, I think that Logan did an outstanding job in bringing this work into the present for consumption by the current and future generations. There's even a version on YouTube with music by hip hop producers!
"Great book poor narrator"
Awesome book shame the narrator is hard to listen to. Have heard worse narrators however
"Interesting book ruined by weird narration"
I will have to purchase the written version of this book of what is an interesting text. Sadly the narration is so unbearable and difficult to listen to, I could net even get through thirty minutes of the audiobook. Shame really.

It is well known that bread is one of the oldest types of food still around in todays world. However, the importance of bread has been a constant since its invention in around 10'000BC. It is believed that bread was so important to the Egyptian way of life that it was used as a form of currency in their society, and would even be placed in the tombs of the dead as a sign of respect.

In summer, if the weather's good, we have milongas outdoors on Eton Bridge! It's a beautiful location; we dance in a magical romantic setting on the bridge over the Thames overlooked by Windsor Castle as the sun sets over the river. The Bridge is closed to traffic and has lovely views. They are memorable evenings and a unique tango experience!
DJ: Charles
Price: £10
Eton Bridge Milonga
19:00- 19:30
Are interested in trying out dancing Argentine Tango? Then join our introductory lesson for absolute beginners, starting at 7.00pm – come along and give it a try, for free!
The Bridge is a very special place to dance, and it's a memorable experience! Eton and Windsor are great places to spend the evening; if you're thirsty or hungry we have counted over 50 places to eat & drink within a 10 minute walk of the Tango venue!
Music selection
We pay particular attention to the choice of music at our milongas. You can expect a rich variety of the very best traditional tango, milonga and vals. Because the Eton Bridge milongas are such a great showcase for Tango music and dancing we stick to the greatest 'Golden Age' music because it is the finest music for dancing. We hope that you will be enchanted by the music in an unforgettable and enjoyable evening.
The practicalities of running the al fresco events mean that we cannot offer refreshments, but there are lots of nice pubs and restaurants close by!
Personal possessions
There is a gazebo with space for you to leave a small bag, but it is not secure and we don't take any responsibility for any items left there. It's best to travel light. There are pubs close by if you need refreshment or a 'comfort' stop.
What about the weather?
The event is open-air, and so we depend on suitable weather. If the weather is not suitable then the milonga will be postponed. We will keep this page and the Facebook event updated.
Boring but important…
The dance surface is smooth street paving with a camber so please choose suitable shoes. It helps to adapt your dancing to suit the surface, with less pivoting than you would use on a wooden dance floor.
The milongas are organised with kind permission from Windsor & Eton town management. The local bylaws prohibit the consumption of alcohol on Eton Bridge.
Directions to the Eton Bridge Milonga
Postcode approaching from Windsor: SL4 1PX
Postcode approaching from Eton: SL4 6AA
Exit M4 at junction 6 and take A355 South to Windsor. After 1 mile take 1st exit; turn left towards Windsor town centre. After ½ mile turn left at the roundabout (Goswell Road). This takes you under a railway bridge to the riverside. There is street-side parking in Barry Avenue on your left, and a public car park on your right before the road turns right away from the riverside. If you miss these then there is also parking by Windsor & Eton Riverside station. Eton Bridge is easy to see from the riverside, and 2 minutes walk from the car parks.
By Train:
Windsor has 2 stations, and both are a short easy walk from Eton Bridge.
By Boat:
If you are travelling on your luxury speedboat / canoe / royal barge then Windsor is 50 miles upstream from the Thames barrier, and 30 miles downstream from Reading. Listen for the Tango music upstream from Romney lock.

#7 - Health Alert - Your Doctor is Not Trained in Herbs
When I was pregnant with my first daughter, I got a cold. So I took my herbs "goldenseal/echinacea" combination to my doctor to ask if they were safe to take while pregnant.
He looked at me like I was from Mars and asked me why I was asking him about this supplement? "After all, I'm a doctor and trained in pharmaceuticals - not herbs." I laughingly showed him the label on the bottle which read "if pregnant ask your doctor before taking this herb." He again reminded me that a doctor is trained in pharmaceuticals, not herbs.
All doctors should be so honest. It is a fact that doctors are trained in pharmaceuticals, surgery, diagnosing and treating symptoms of disease. They are not trained in herbs or holistic practice. Therefore they have no right to tell their patients that herbs do not work. However, they may know if the body may be susceptible to a more severe reaction to a drug because of an herb.
This should be considered by all who decide to ask their doctors about herbs, massage, colon therapy or any holistic practice. Their practice is based on medical research and findings from the research.
If you are afraid to embark on a holistic program without your doctor's approval, keep in mind the one or two stories of people being "harmed" by holistic practices compared to the tens of thousands that die every year from medical practices.

St. Francis of Assisi was one of my heroes. I love this quote from him, "All the darkness in the world cannot extinguish the light of a single candle."
May we walk into the darkness of this world and shine Jesus' light of love boldly and without fear!
"In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven" — Matthew 5:16
Have we lost the wonder of God's love? Have we lost our amazement at the suffering, death & resurrection of Jesus? Have we become so familiar with the story that our hearts have become calloused? Is it just another story that has to be retold each Sunday in a newer, better, more creative, entertaining way just to keep our attention?? Has our relationship with Jesus become just another item to check off on our daily "to do list"? Do we get more excited about who wins the Super Bowl (or when we get a promotion, new car, etc.) than we do when we think about the Creator of the universe longing to walk with us forever? Have we forgotten the joy of having our sins forgiven and our burdens removed … FOREVER?!! Not for these precious people … (click here to see an awesome video!)!!!

High Speed Systems Engineering
The High Speed Systems Engineering (HSSE) lab at Iowa State University takes on a number of different projects in a wide variety of fields related to engineering. Some of the exciting projects address the issue of all-optical switching using magnetic materials. With the increasing need for fast, wide-bandwidth systems, it is advantageous to turn to optical solutions. However, in optical networks information eventually must be converted to electrical form for machine-to-machine (M2M) communication to be realized. This creates a bandwidth bottleneck in the system and limits capability. Thus, it is of interest in the research community to develop systems in which M2M communication can be realized while maintaining all-optical transfer media. Some of the most recent work on this topic includes novel studies on magnetic field generation (MFG) for magneto-optic (MO) interferometric switches, new MO interferometer configurations, and new MO materials for use in all-optical switching and routing. The HSSE lab is performing experimental research to determine specifically how to increase the speed and efficiency of the MFG circuitry, how to increase the signal-to-noise ratio, stability, and compactness of the MO interferometers, and what magnetic materials are best suited for all-optical switching or routing solutions.
Project participants: John Pritchard, Mani Mina

DUBLIN (Reuters) - Ireland's finance minister will decide in the coming weeks whether to press ahead with a long-awaited initial public offering (IPO) of state-owned Allied Irish Banks (AIB), he said on Tuesday, adding that market conditions are encouraging.
The Irish government has appointed several banks to act as bookrunners and global coordinators for the potential sale of a 25 percent stake in AIB and Michael Noonan has said the nearest window to sell the shares runs from mid-May to early July.
"As we look at stock markets today, conditions are encouraging, with bank stocks generally trading positively and my officials inform me that the Irish macroeconomic story is resonating well with international investors," Noonan told parliament.
"However, we have made no decision yet to proceed, and I will make this call in the coming weeks, based on advice from my officials, our banking syndicate and our independent financial adviser Rothschild."

5.5 Earthquake!
Today, around 2 PM we had an earthquake. It shook the house pretty good too! Apparently it originated about 3 hours east of us along the Ontario/Quebec border and was felt all across Ontario and parts of the US! I was laying down in bed with grandbaby, putting her down for her afternoon nap, when I felt the bed shake. Hailie had just fallen asleep and I turned over to face the wall when I felt 5 thumps on the bed. I thought she had some kind of leg twitch because it felt like she had lifted her leg and dropped it down on the bed. I rolled over to check on her and she was sound asleep so I blew it off. I even thought to myself maybe it was an earthquake - never really thinking it would be, but when I got up a few minutes later my daughters who were both in the kitchen said they felt it too and that's when they started getting messages from their friends online saying there was an earthquake. A few minutes later it was all over the news. It's funny because it traveled quicker on Facebook and MSN than the news channels...LOL. The only damage it caused here was a broken board on one of my benches and quite a few petals fell off my hanging baskets of flowers.

The dot limit in Powder Game, Earth Editor, and Powder Game 2 is the maximum amount of particles that can be on the screen at any given time. In the original Powder Game, there is a setting to control the maximum dot limit. This function sets the limit of particles available on the play field. It can be set using Dot S/M/L button.
- S - maximum amount of dots is 20000 (default)
- M - maximum amount of dots is 30000
- L - maximum amount of dots is 40000 (this is the amount of dots on Powder Game 2 and Earth Editor)
The number next to the FPS indicator shows how many dots are left. If it is 999 or less, replicator elements won't work:
- Clone and clone ball will stop cloning.
- Trees will stop growing and creating seeds.
- Vine will not grow.
- Ants will stop tunneling.
- Laser will not emit beam of its charged form.
- Fireworks won't work (they will just explode as nothing).
- Ball will not turn into dots after destruction.
- Player will lose ability to use its attributes (except fan and bird, and ice and nitro in Powder Game 2). However, this will only happen if dots are entirely depleted.
- Thunder-charged metal or mercury will no longer release it's thunder.
- Liquid- or gas-charged pump will no longer release it's liquid or gas.
If the user attempts to type something with the text function, and the remaining amount of dots is insufficient to create this text, the game will only place the top part of the text from left to right, until the dot limit is reached. The same happens with copy and paste. The dot meter is capable of showing negative numbers on the original Powder Game if the dot limit is lowered to a limit lower than current amount of particles on the play field. This can be used to turn anti-gravity chambers "off", as lowering the dot limit under 1000 will result in clone being unable to replicate fire.
It is possible to hack the dot limits using a cheat engine and increase or decrease the dot limit. However, creations with an altered dot limit are unable to be uploaded.

Last night, she waved goodbye. He wasn't necessarily glad to see her go but maybe a little relieved. She was too excited to notice one way or the other.
This was her moment. She was sure it would last. So many times, she'd been close enough to see it but only now could she have a real taste. And, it was a scary, too. Still, she would face it all alone.
He let her go easily. He didn't have the energy to think about all he didn't know. The days were too long and his worries too complex. This was not his and he couldn't make it so.
So, he didn't fight for her. He just sent her off with his blessing. He would stay behind and uphold his burdens until they found a place to rest.
She thought of him, even in the most intense moments. She couldn't help it. She never wondered did he think of her. She knew he was the safest place of all.
She wasn't without fears, and certainly not without regret, but she had learned how to put those in a drawer and close it tight. It's not as if they weren't there anymore but she couldn't - wouldn't - see them. Is that so wrong? Isn't that how she got here after all?
He moved slowly at first, after she left. As minutes and hours passed, he was able to find his rhythm without her. He could relax, if not rest. He felt guilty for not missing her more but it wasn't because he wanted for anything else, except a quiet moment.
His coffee was empty and he thought he wanted a refill. He could even add cream or some kind of decadent artificial flavoring. No, that's not manly and who needs more trouble sleeping?
Just knowing he could indulge, if he wanted, was enough for him now.
