I think I will start with this from Juicy Bomb.
Watching John Fall
When I joined the LEA committee as an adviser, John had the same position. At that time, he hadn't shown up to the first meeting I attended, thus it was discussed about removing privileges from him since he was away. I didn't realize it then, but one of the senior committee members, JMB Balogh, started grooming me to vote against John keeping his privileges.
In a private Discord chat, she told me that John had threatened her and fellow panel member, Secret Rage, "many times". She didn't go into what the threats were or how they were said. Still, I was aghast at this and wondered how they kept him on the committee at all. John then posted a letter in the LEA Google Groups site, stating someone had shown him the chat about removing his rights and that he was never contacted about anything. He seemed betrayed and very upset.
JMB became angry and grilled me in a private chat to see if I was the one who spoke to John. No one spoke up about who did it, so it was never revealed who was the culprit.
John resigned shortly afterwards. I had the inkling that someone pushed him to resign; he's an emotional guy, and someone knew doing this to him would make him quit. But I kept those thoughts to myself and went on with training at LEA.
Hostility Over A Suggestion
LEA had a round of voting to allocate land to artists for its 13th batch of AiR grants. There were 30-something applicants; although my vote weighed less due to me being an adviser instead of a full member of the panel, I was still allowed to participate and become a liaison for the winners (which means, I would assist land grant artists if they had questions or needed help).
I also had an idea about promoting LEA to rl art media sites. I felt LEA needed better recognition; just courting blogging sites and machinima websites wasn't going to do it, especially with artists like Marina Ambrovic and Jeff Koons co-opting the digital exhibit idea already pioneered in Second Life. After suggesting this, the panel liked the idea and said it was my project.
During the 13th round of voting, I saw several artists who seemed familiar to the voting process doing something strange–they were leaving direct notes in their apps for the panelists to read. Mostly this was listed where artists were to link their portfolio. Some 3D artists, instead, were inviting LEA members to view a "sneak peek" of their upcoming work. In fact, they wrote panelists' names; some, who weren't even with LEA any longer.
I thought it was weird and brought it up in the LEA Discord chat to discuss there first. My point was that a friendly reminder for people not to write notes like that in their apps would help to keep better distance between judges and applicants, in case the Lab ever looked over the apps in an audit.
Two people understood what I was saying (Patti and LaPiscean), but had different reactions. Patti felt I misunderstood the notes, while LaPiscean agreed and wanted me to bring it up at a meeting. I waited for the next panel meeting to take place, which was about every two weeks. When I did, I received a surprise.
At the next meeting, I was accused by JMB and Secret of causing trouble when I brought up the notes issue. I was shocked–was I not supposed to speak up about these things as an adviser? While LaPiscean still understood my stance, he explained they couldn't address this publicly. It was best to let it go and move on.
JMB and Secret were set against me for the rest of the meeting, bringing up whatever they could to try and get me in trouble. It didn't work and I was defended by Patti. By the time the meeting ended, I was angry. I told Patti about it, who said she had spoken to JMB about her tone. LaPiscean said I had to "earn my wings" with them.
I approached JMB and Secret separately and told them to never talk to me like that again, then turned in the resulting logs to Patti. In response, Secret posted a mass email to the entire group saying I had threatened her. When I asked Patti or LaPiscean to correct her over this lie, neither one of them did anything.
Pressure and Escalation
I had taken on a project to translate the LEA Sandbox rules into Spanish; I spoke a conversational amount but ended up needing help with translating certain terms anyway. When a fellow Second Life user came to my rescue, I thanked her by granting her a portrait to show my appreciation.
There was a meeting called at 2am (for 12 hours later) by one of the panelists. Although we had a deadline for me to finish the translation in two weeks' time, the panel wanted me to turn the translation in that day. I told them a meeting called in less than 24 hours wouldn't net me giving them work; it was unfair to expect that of me.
The next meeting, I turned the TOS translation in. But they wanted more. JMB suddenly recalled me having taken on the project of all the translations. Patti suddenly could not remember and seemed confused. I said no, because I only knew Spanish. They kept pressuring me to take the work, and I kept refusing. Then I told them, they can't demand this of me and then be rude to me at the same time and call me a troublemaker. This is when they got upset and implied I shouldn't be on the panel anymore. I told them I just wanted some basic respect, not to be lied about, and not pressured to go above and beyond for them while being treated badly.
JMB told me I had to "earn respect" with them.
I told them I had asked a mole to find a Linden to help me with this issue. They got upset and said it was against the rules to speak to people outside of LEA about LEA business. I pointed out that this is Linden business, and it is not against the rules to seek help for a situation in LEA gone awry.
What Secret Rage said then disheartened me: "They aren't interested-we have 2 in our email thread with nary a peep."
In other words, they knew they could do this to people and they would get away with it. This is why they have so far.
They held another meeting afterwards, locked me out, and passed me a note asking me to resign. I refused. Suddenly, everything from John's push-out made sense; JMB had lied about the threats in order to turn my opinion against him. I had gotten played like a fiddle and was now the target of their next bout of harassment.
Afterwards, LaPiscean had this to say to me in a private chat: "Patti and I were outvoted. [JMB] will be on her way to give you the bad news, if she hasn't already. But I am making moves so that this cannot happen to others."
Recognizing Abuse Online
Isolation, deception, implied threats, and trying to limit your outreach to authority for help. This is abuse. And when you're dealt this as a means of proving your worth to receive some kind of promotion or acceptance, that's hazing. Straight up. Looking back, it's crystal clear to me.
I know John and I aren't the first people to deal with this. Many artists who deal with LEA believe the panel exercises bias when doling out grants. I went in believing maybe people just didn't see the other side of what happens in planning and awarding grants, but I was horribly dismayed to find their assumptions were true–and so much more.
I'm leaving this entry here to warn others against dealing with any of the panel members here. If you do, document everything. Find a Linden to turn it into… if you can, because my efforts to even find a Linden to listen to this tale have been unsuccessful. If you're out there, a Linden reading this? I've got logs to back up what I'm saying.
The Linden Endowment for the Arts is a mess. I have no idea what it's going to take to clean it up. A rotating group of curators who vote in projects when it's time? A smaller panel whose only job is not voting, but janitorial duties who works with the temporary panel of curators? A Linden on the panel to keep an eye on everybody? To wipe this program and start over, and not let SL users control app files and archives this time?
Whatever LL does, next time they need to make sure the committee doesn't get so comfortable with itself that it resorts to hazing and power plays to control others. We would all be a lot better without that. ☆
Bonus: Questions
- "Why haven't LEA members done anything about this?" Per LaPiscean, they know what's going on but it seems to be an issue of voting majority. It's going to take enough to stop this from happening. Some of the quieter members are also averse to confrontation.
- "But I don't see evidence of wrongdoing." Thankfully, the quotes I listed show they are aware of their actions; they just don't want to fix it.
- "Would you return to LEA if they installed a new committee?" Nope. I don't even feel people should mess with the panel anymore at all unless a Linden is keeping an eye on them. As a group, they just aren't trustworthy at this point.
- "Why do you care about this at all?" In a way, people are paying for this program. LL provides 20-something free sims for LEA to play with. That money's coming from somewhere, and it isn't the employees' pockets.

'Round the Mountain Draws Attention to Artisans Throughout Southwest Virginia
June 05, 2008ABINGDON, Va. ? Some are at the stage in life where they can enjoy their crafts and artwork full time after a career as a teacher, banker, pharmacist or a factory worker. Many are natives of Southwest Virginia; others returned to their homes after years away, and some came to the region from elsewhere and never left.
'Round the Mountain: Southwest Virginia's Artisan Network is a growing group of more than 200 artisans, farmers, and craft-related venues that is increasing awareness of the creative resources found in a 19-county region of southwestern Virginia.
One of the most visible benefits for members is an Internet presence, said Diana Blackburn, executive director of 'Round the Mountain. "Being a member means different things to each artisan. Some need help in spreading the word about their crafts and their wares, and many enjoy the networking and the opportunities to showcase this region of the state."
For $20-$40 a year, artisans, agritourism ventures, galleries, studios and other craft-related venues can join 'Round the Mountain and be listed on a comprehensive web-based craft directory on the organization's website www.roundthemountain.org. But their reasons for hooking up with this growing organization are almost as varied as their crafts.
'Better than sliced bread'
Brooklyn native Bill Dotten discovered Southwest Virginia while a student in Richmond and came to the area to hunt. He's lived here for more than 35 years, retiring several months ago from his life as a pharmacist in Coeburn in Wise County. Now he gets to spend his days woodturning, making bowls, vases and sculptures in the workshop studio he built at his home.
"I've been with 'Round the Mountain since the beginning, and I think it's better than sliced bread," said Dotten. He's on the RTM Board of Directors and he's a teacher and lecturer on the art of woodturning, "which means we use a lathe," and president of the American Association of Woodturners, a group with more than 65 members who meet in nearby Tennessee's Tri-Cities area.
Dotten is also heavily involved in promoting an RTM venue, the Lays Building in Coeburn. It's a renovated hardware store, built in 1915 and owned by the town of Coeburn. "We have molds and kilns and classes in stained glass, quilt-making, beading, wood work and woodturning. We're envisioning a crafts school." This historic building serves as a music venue, artisan training production and as a retail sales venue for a variety of craft items ranging from clay and glass to paper.
Outside the box and in the studio full time
A fellow artisan describes him as "the only artist I know around here that thinks so outside the box." That's Rick Radman, who after more than 30 years as a consultant and school teacher, gets to work exclusively on his "welded creatures" in his rural Wythe County Stony Fork Workshop.
"I got tired of doing just pottery so I took some welding classes. There are a lot of potters, but not a lot of recycled steel made into unusual birds," said Radman.
His work features birds and other creatures welded together from recycled tools and other farm parts, wind chimes made from used coffee pots, roller skates, horseshoes and more. His work also includes high-fired, wheelthrown, functional pottery and hiking sticks made from homegrown bamboo.
"I think 'Round the Mountain is a good thing. I don't have a reliable computer, so anything about my work that's on the Internet is great for me," said Radman.
A basket in the White House
When friends were looking for a gift to the White House to represent the region, they immediately thought of Lee County basket maker Gary Carroll's creations. A native of Southwest Virginia, Carroll learned the craft from a cousin and took nearly two years to learn the intricacies of basket making and caning before he was comfortable demonstrating and showing his handiwork from his business, Sugar Run Baskets.
"I think what makes my work different is that I cut the trees, use old tools and make everything by hand," said Carroll. "And 'Round the Mountain has helped tremendously in getting the word out about my work as well as many others in Southwest Virginia."
One of his baskets reached the White House and others are on display and for sale in another RTM venue, such as Handsome Molly's in Marion, and in a gallery in Knoxville.
Preserving her roots
Quilter Pat Houck lived away from her native Lee County for many years in northern Virginia and Michigan, but she finally got to return to her roots, and she's lending a big hand in preserving, not only her craft, but the traditions, heritage and culture of the region.
A founding board member of 'Round the Mountain, she says the organization changed her life. "The exposure for the artisans is wonderful and there couldn't be a more dedicated group than those volunteers involved in this organization. They are totally committed to the artisans."
Houck is also president of the Wilderness Road Arts & Crafts Guild and a founding member of the Wilderness Road Dulcimer Club. Her banker husband, Allen, who is a woodworker, is also a member of the artisan network.
"For me to be able volunteer and to do something to bring emphasis to our area is great. North Carolina and Kentucky have been leaders in drawing emphasis to the traditional crafts, and so many talents in our area haven't been showcased. It's important that we take an interest and ensure that handmade is preserved."
Pottery with a face
A stint at being laid off from his factory job led Roy Stoffel of Patrick County to join his wife in some pottery classes. Now he's retired and makes his signature, hand-built clay sculptures full time at Windy Hill Pottery in Stuart. He says his hillbilly face jugs are the only ones made with hats.
He heard about 'Round the Mountain from his pottery classes at Patrick Henry Community College and said joining and having his work featured on the website "is important because I don't even have a computer!"
"I think 'Round the Mountain is a good idea, and we need to find out who the artisans are in our area and stick together."
For those who haven't found markets
New York native Ellen Shankin of Floyd "joined hands" with seven fellow potters in 1998 and created the Floyd County artisan group known as 16 Hands.
"Joining together in this group and creating annual studio tours was a wonderful experience and important to our careers," said Shankin. "The many components of 'Round the Mountain are important to those artisans trying to make crafts a more viable way of life and for many who may not have found markets yet."
Shankin, who co-chairs the craft coordinating committee of RTM, has been living and working in Floyd County for more than 30 years. She's an established artisan who's looking forward to the opportunity to exhibit at the artisan center planned for Abingdon.
A Mason jar of flowers
Dickenson County native Dwight Overturf and his wife Rhonda are operating Pleasant Hill Farm in Wythe County and seeing benefits from the exposure that 'Round the Mountain is bringing to their agritourism business.
"Through 'Round the Mountain we are exposed to others who have similar problems and situations in their business trying to get the word out," said Overturf.
Pleasant Hill Farm is acres of flowers and visitors are given a wide-mouth Mason jar and a cutting tool and are free to "fill it up with as many flowers as you can get in there."
About 'Round the Mountain: Southwest Virginia's Artisan Network: `Round the Mountain was created in 2004, as a result of funding from Governor Mark Warner's Virginia Works Initiative. Recognizing the assets of the 19-county region, Governor Warner announced $100,000 in Appalachian Regional Commission funds to develop an artisan initiative in southwest Virginia to further develop the region as a major cultural and heritage tourism destination. A group of interested individuals representing state and local government, planning districts, the small business community, arts organizations, economic development, tourism and artisans began the planning process; the organization is operated by a board of directors. Other funding partners include Virginia Department of Community and Housing Development, the Virginia Tobacco Indemnification and Community Revitalization Commission, Virginia Commission for the Arts and Virginia Tourism Corporation.
The 'Round the Mountain service area includes Bland, Buchanan, Carroll, Dickenson, Floyd, Franklin, Giles, Grayson, Lee, Montgomery, Patrick, Pulaski, Russell, Scott, Smyth, Tazewell, Washington, Wise, and Wythe counties, and the cities of Bristol, Galax, Norton and Radford.

Mobile phones are too short in terms of vertical width to show grid-based category pages or "product walls" - even at only two columns wide, you will only see a slice of the product image, let alone the title, price and five-star reviews. If you go to three columns the images become too small to be appealing and persuasive.
I can't advocate a separate media query for every device from table on down, so I'd shoot for the best size that displays at all levels
My Android G2 has 3.7 inch, WVGA 800x480 display which is a .60 aspect ratio. That's fine, although not as great as a .667 or .75 ratio found elsewhere - like the iPad 2. The problem, though, is that when I'm in portrait mode I only get a miniscule except that it is only
iPhone 4S 960x640 3.5" .667
Blackberry Curve something like a 2.4" and that might have navigation controls showing too, 320x240 = .75 aspect ratio

Hide Forgot
Description of problem:
in the new xorg packages the X config got moved to /etc/X11/xorg.conf
however /etc/X11/XF86config is still being created on install.
i also had to hand edit my xorg.conf file to get anything other than
640x480 to work. i'm using a nvidia tnt2. had to uncomment horizsync
and vertrefresh and then comment displaysize in the "monitor" section.
i noticed that everytime i change the display settings, this
commented section is always placed in the "monitor" section:
### Uncomment if you don't want to default to DDC:
# HorizSync 30.0 - 85.0
# VertRefresh 48.0 - 120.0
i also went up to "serverlayout" section and removed what appeared to
be random 0's laying about.
According to the latest builds as of May 4:
* Fri Apr 30 2004 Brent Fox <email@example.com> 1.0.14-1
- do not write out extra XF86Config file during firstboot (bug #121729)
Of course I haven't tested this, but since this bug got moved to
system-config-display, it already been fixed. So I'm closing it
saying current release? If I'm wrong someone can reopen it.

"I'm pretty speechless at the moment," he said.
"To be honest it's the best innings I've ever played since I started playing cricket.
"I just kept going and kept believing and it went our way.
"When we were 111 for five we could have just pottered around, but I chanced my arm and we didn't look back really. We attacked and it came off."
There were contrasting emotions for England captain Andrew Strauss, who admitted his side's fielding had to improve.
"We thought we had done a reasonable job with the bat, we got Ireland five down and things looked comfortable," he said.
"We weren't reckoning on an outstanding innings from Kevin O'Brien. It was pretty brutal."
England have won just one of their opening three World Cup games, but Strauss insisted their tournament hopes were not dead.
Strauss added: "Our World Cup dream is not over, but we've been haemorrhaging runs too quickly. We've got to go away, lick our wounds.
"I'm at a loss to explain it, we put down another three or four catches today."
Strauss also revealed Kevin Pietersen and Graeme Swann both picked up niggles, but said they should be fit for England's next game against South Africa on Sunday."
Alex Cusack claimed Ireland were "on top of the world" after their stunning victory.
Cusack made 47 to aid O'Brien's astonishing innings and he said: "I'm pretty amazed, words can't described how I'm feeling, just on top of the world."
Cusack paid tribute to the big-hitting O'Brien, who clobbered 13 fours and six sixes.
"I was just trying to knock it around for Kev because he's got the power. He's got the big shots."
Ireland captain William Porterfield, who was dismissed first ball in his side's reply by James Anderson, hailed the victory as their greatest ever win.
"It's got to be the greatest, pretty much the greatest days of our lives so far," he said.
"Credit to the lads, they kept believing. We'll be looking to put in a performance like that every game."

Every year, millions of people of all ages take it for granted that proper nutrition can have monumental effects on the way that they look and feel. Obviously, a nutritious diet can help you lose weight. However, getting the proper nutrients can also help your body function at its highest level. The following are a few tips that can help you seek out better nutrition.
Whole grain bread products should replace those baked with refined white flour. Whole wheat and other whole grains contain more protein and fiber than their refined counterparts. Whole grains foods will keep you much fuller and will help lower your cholesterol. Make sure "whole" is an ingredient in the list.
Try to eat as many natural and fresh foods as you can. Eating fresh foods that are not processed will reduce the quantity of fats and chemicals you eat.
Trans Fat
Many high processed foods have a lot of trans fat, and that is what you need to stay away from. Foods that contain high trans fat are responsible for putting you at risk for heart disease. Trans fats are bad because they decrease your HDL levels, which is the good cholesterol, and increase your LDL levels, which is the bad cholesterol.
Adopting a healthy diet doesn't mean you have to eliminate meat. Instead, opt for a single 8-ounce serving of a lean meat. This can help you reach your daily protein and iron requirements. A few good choices are bison, venison and chicken.
A great rule to remember is to make your plate as colorful as possible when you fill it. There is a variety of different colored vegetables and fruits, and they offer many benefits beyond being low in calories. Try to eat one of these fruits or vegetables with every meal. Make sure you eat skins if you can, because some may have antioxidants.
Select lean turkey products in place of ground beef in recipes. This will reduce the fat and total calories you are ingesting. Be certain to grab turkey breast, not dark turkey meat, as it is quite similar to beef in its nutritional content. Most ground turkey packages include a combination of white and dark meat and this is less nutritionally ideal than white meat only.
You should ensure that you get plenty of selenium in your diet. Selenium is important because it can help the skin to stay young looking and keep it's elasticity. Selenium can minimize free radical damage, and helps to protect your skin from overexposure to the sun. Tuna, eggs, Brazil nuts, wheat germ, and brown rice all provide excellent amounts of selenium.
Fruit Juice
Sugar intake is at the forefront of any watch list for a healthy diet. Fruit juice is not always a good choice if you are looking for a soda substitute. Fruit juice is full of sugar, and sometimes it packs as much or more than soda. Therefore, it is vital to pay attention to the foods you eat, especially with regards to sugar content.
Use artificial sweeteners in lieu of sugar. Overeating sugar can harm your health and possibly cause heart problems. Rather, give Stevia or Splenda a try. The difference in taste is difficult (or even impossible) to notice.
Vitamin B6
In order to naturally decrease depression risk, consume foods with a lot of Vitamin B6. Vitamin B6 keeps serotonin levels stable. Lack of serotonin is what usually causes depression. Looking for foods that are rich in B6? Stock up on lean chicken breast, asparagus and wheat germ. During the winter, it is particularly important to eat foods rich in B6.
Try to avoid grains for awhile and concentrate on other foods. The diet of humans through the centuries has mainly consisted of meats, beans, fruits and vegetables. Processed grains haven't been around as long, and we can live without them. You may feel better not eating grains at all.
Avoid fried foods as much as possible. Baked foods are usually healthier due to their lower calorie, oil and sugar content. Eating well-made baked goods will help you keep up your energy level throughout the day.
Olive Oil
You can use olive oil to improve the texture and appearance of your skin. Opt for extra virgin olive oil for best results. It is also full of age-fighting antioxidants. A thin layer twice a day is all you need.
This technique will help you make smarter, healthier food choices even when you are feeling rushed. Think of your notebook as a meal time survival guide. It will provide variety while killing the boredom.
Ask your doctor if you can consume alcohol when you have diabetes. Alcohol can rapidly reduce your blood sugar and can lead to serious health risks.
Changing your food preparation can improve your nutrition. Steaming and boiling are fast and healthy alternatives to frying or baking food in butter or oil. Choosing healthy ways to prepare food will help one maintain their nutrition.
Not understanding how important nutrition is in your life can lead to dire consequences for both men and women at any age. It does not take much though to get yourself back on the right track if you truly want it.

This feature is hosted by The Nerdy Girlie & Super Space Chick
Just in time for Valentine's Day! This was a really hard decision but I decided to pick couples from Comics, TV & Movies. Here are my Picks:
Kitty & Colossus
I've loved these two for ever. Since this version of them:
Yes I know there was a bit of a questionable age difference between them initially but that was then. The pair had a lot of ups and downs. kitty grew up and started hanging out with a friend her own age named Doug. Colossus went and fell in love with an alien girl who not only couldn't speak English but was hooking up with Johnny Storm before flirting with Peter during the Secret Wars. Then they broke up and Colossus died. Well sort of died.
Only in my heart were Kitty & Peter together until a guy named Joss Whedon gave us Astonishing X- Men:
Astonishing X-men was everything a Peter & Kitty shipper could dream off including a bittersweet ending that left K &P shippers wondering if it was this couples destiny to be star crossed lovers after all.
Buffy & Angel
Speaking of Whedon:
Sigh. Somewhere there is a world where the Angel Finale never happened and Buffy and Angel are together.Forever. I've heard some inkling that there is a B & A reunion of sorts in the Buffy comics that I will have to read at some point.
Storm &Forge
I can't think of any other comic series that has produced some of the most complex and ship worthy couples than the X-Men. Forge & Storm found the safest of havens in each others arms in difficult times. Not only were these two one of the most romantic pairings in comics,they were also wonderfully diverse. I learned a lot about the challenges in daily life
for a disabled person through Forge's stories (He has a artificial leg). And it was also wonderful watching Storm's emotional walls crumble as she opened her self to all the joy and vulnerability falling in love brings to ones life.
Yes Storm went on to marry a certain Wakandan prince but in my shipping heart,she will find her way to Forge again somehow. Unless he's dead. Is he dead ? Massive amounts of X-men need to be read in my future.
Han & Leia
Sometimes I have this panicky feeling. The feeling that episode VII will not confirm what the Star Wars EU showed us: Han & Leia totally got hitched and made little padawans! I'm just being paranoid right? I love these two together. Because if I can't have Han I fully approve of Leia as his Space Wife.
Scott & Jean/Luke & Mara
These last two are a tie because in reality they don't exist. Well not right now Scott & Jean. Ah! One of the most tragic and romantic love affairs in the Marvel Universe. Brian Michael Bendis has found a way to reunite a younger version of Jean Grey with an older Scott Summers but the biggest hurdle between them is not the age difference,but the whole their love may screw up all of time and reality.
Union takes place after the third Heir to the Empire novel series and shows us the wedding of Luke & Mara. It's such a beautiful story. One that is now part of the EU "Legends" which is Disney's books way of saying we know you love this but its not canon unless we make it canon. Help us Mara lovers J.J.! Your our only hope!
So there you have it! My couple obsessions! I'm excited to see who everyone else picked.

Artifacts Register
Browse Finding Aid:
> Scope and Content
Scope and contents of the collection
The College Archives is home to over six hundred artifacts which supplement the documentary and photographic history of Smith College. They range in date from 1879 to the present; some cannot be precisely dated. The Artifacts Collection includes Smith College, class, and club pins and jewelry, Reunion paraphernalia, house banners and t-shirts, samples of the Smith Wedgwood china, Smith College Relief Unit mementos, souvenirs from special events, and countless other objects-many of which resist easy categorization.
Organization of the collection
Every artifact has been assigned a Registration Number. It is used to catalogue and assign a location to the artifact, and bears no relation to the type of artifact, its date, or the date of its acquisition. The register is arranged numerically by registration number. Because of this, the paper copy of the register is useful largely for casual browsing, and the keyword-searchable computer file should be used for directed searches.
The following abbreviations are used in the register:

I'm 45 and have bipolar disorder. I have had a rough time developing relationships that last. I am currently living with a man who is my age. I told him I was bipolar after dating a few times. I also told him that I am a hard person to live with. Even though I'm on Lithium, I still have mild mood swings. I can be very sarcastic at times and take things too personal at times too. I love this person very much, and he loves me, but we fight a lot, and usually I'm the instigator. I do realize this and try to catch myself, but more often than not, I don't. I know that if something doesn't change with me, I'm going to lose this guy. In the past I've gone to counseling to try and learn to 'deal with myself'. Sometimes I truly wonder if I will be better off alone, and yet, that isn't the way to live life either, at least not for me. I am so frustrated with myself, and don't know what to do… can you give me some good advice?

I can empathize with your difficulty. When we're talking about a long standing personality style (being sarcastic and abrasive) in the context of a mild bipolar disorder, its hard to know what is possible for you to change and what isn't. It's easy to say something like "well it's part of your biology to be this way so you're never going to change it", but that would be a cop-out I think. We have degrees of freedom in life – we have the ability most of the time to decide how we are going to react towards others. This doesn't mean that there aren't strong currents inside of us that will push us towards acting one way or another. This also doesn't mean that it is easy to change, even when it makes sense to change and change is possible. As adults (even as children) we get quite set into our ways. The world makes sense based on how we have lived in it – what we have experienced. There is sometimes a part of us that is secretly wanting to be crabby towards someone even as another part of us might recognize the ultimate self-destructiveness of that impulse. I have three suggestions. The first is that you stay on your medicines and keep up with your medical condition. You need to be as stable as you can be medically, if you want to have a good shot at addressing this other interactive stuff. The second is that you pursue psychotherapy some more. Specifically, couples therapy with an emphasis on your tendency to be sarcastic and aggressive. Look for ways you might be ambivalent about being 'nice'. Look to your past to see if you had sarcastic role models, or if that behavior worked somehow in your family even as it doesn't work for you now. The idea to consider is that you may have learned to be sarcastic and to take the offensive as a way of coping with attacks from your early family; you may be bringing that mode of coping and attitudes that support that style of being ("People with thin skins are Wussies; I'm not a Wus") into your present relationship. The third idea is to learn to witness yourself from a detached standpoint by practicing formal meditation on a regular and frequent basis (take a class). Meditating skill may help you become less embedded in your older ideas about who you are, and may free you up to become more spontaneous and loving. It may also help you to learn to recognize when you are not caring how you come across (as is the case when you are sarcastic towards a man you love). Good luck.

Britain's Navy Off The Coast Of Spain in 1809
|Captain Thomas Cochrane was also a Scottish Earl.
The British navy picked up the pieces after Moore's defeat and helped maintain a presence in the Peninsular until the Army of Portugal could be reorganized and a new commander appointed (Wellington would return from Ireland to ultimately take the reins a few months after Moore's death).
During this period, Captain Thomas Cochrane made a name for himself (as did others) at the helm of the 38-gun fifth rate HMS Imperiuse, raiding and destroying French army installations and scooping up prizes along the coasts.
My interest in the Peninsular War originates in part from Cochrane's exploits or more specifically Horatio Hornblower's exploits. C.S. Forester's fictional character Horatio Hornblower was an amalgam of Cochrane and Lord Nelson. Hornblower, like Cochrane was a master of littoral warfare.
The Naval Chronicle, which was published during this period is an excellent source of first person accounts of this type of fighting. If you are interested in Napoleonic naval combat you can actually read the Chronicle for free now here. Sadly, John Tiller Software doesn't have an Age of Sail game which captures this period.
I do have a copy of Wooden Ships and Iron Men and my plan is to get this game on my gaming table tonight to explore Napoleonic sea combat off the coast of Spain with a few
fictional, home-brewed scenarios that hopefully capture the spirit of littoral warfare during the Peninsular War.
The first scenario I plan on playing is this one:
Wolf Among the Sheep
As the British fleet evacuates Moore's shattered army from the beaches around Corunna, on the seaward side of the transport fleet, a screen of British frigates is engaged by a 74 gun French ship of the line Regulus.
HMS Imperiuse 38 guns
HMS Lively 38 guns
HMS Indefatigable 38 guns
Regulus 74 guns
More to follow...

Perhaps I shouldn't take the bait but when someone is wrong on the internet (and wrong with such enthusiastic regularity) it's difficult to ignore. If homeopaths restricted themselves to saying something along the lines of "you might feel a bit cheerier after talking to one of us, we're mostly quite nice, but the pills are just a distraction" I'd probably tolerate* homeopathy on the NHS, as an inert placebo. It's the fact that homeopaths promote it as a separate system of medicine that grates, and that some of them promote it as an alternative to real medicine for real diseases that worries.The future of #homeopathy instead of #rx drugs? Based on its history and the facts, I'm not worried. pic.twitter.com/E5S7yo930c— HomeopathyRocks! (@BrownBagPantry) August 19, 2016
The homeopathy enthusiast BrownBagPantry has posted the above quote numerous times on her Twitter feed under the #homeopathy hashtag and I thought I'd write up a quick rebuttal and correction of the points within it.
*It's still lying to patients in a rather paternalistic way, but that's an argument for a different post.
"Realistically, the anti homeopathy activists have a minuscule sphere of influence worldwide."
- 'Anti homeopathy activists' probably refers only to skeptical bloggers but it's important to remember that healthcare professionals, journalists, authors, scientists and all sorts of other people have taken steps to warn the public about the dangers of relying on homeopathy and other fake medicines. Many of them wouldn't recognise themselves as 'anti homeopathy activists' though.
The 'sphere of influence' bit is perfectly true of course. We don't particularly need to influence everyone who might consider buying or using homeopathy, we only really need to influence the decision-makers, that is people who regulate it (allow it on to the market, or how it can be marketed) and the people who commission it on the NHS etc. As it happens I'm also a fan of encouraging users of homeopathy to be aware of what it is (and it looks like plenty of people might be mistaken in thinking that it's the same as 'herbal').
I think of the first part (influencing decision-makers) as the meat of what skeptic activists might do and the second part (public) as the background marinade that also needs to be changed. It feels like public attitudes to homeopathy are changing - there are more negative articles about it in tabloid newspapers that, until recently, tended to be more supportive. There have also been a number of high profile stories. However I don't know how much this changes the minds of staunch supporters.
Generally "anti-homeopathy activists" act locally - I don't write to universities in India asking them to move a homeopathy event on their campus but I do in the UK (with a recent success in Birmingham). However we know that people IN Australia tackle local Australian quackery and likewise in other countries. So the 'worldwide' thing is a bit of a red herring. We're everywhere, having local effects, so while none of us has worldwide influence the effect of skeptical activity is felt globally.
"Since Hahnmann's time, these activists' opinions have been unable to stop the manufacture & distribution of homeopathic remedies"
- I don't think we've ever tried to stop the manufacture or distribution. Personally I've no objection to homeopathy products being on sale (this would be like objecting to sugar being on sale), only to the confusing or misleading advice given about what the products can do. There have been isolated examples of products being removed from sale because they no longer have a market license and I think the FDA sanctioned one manufacturer for poor manufacturing practices, but this hasn't particularly been a focus.
Recently homeopathic teething products for babies were withdrawn from sale after links to serious ill-health problems, combined with the discovery that the contents of the products were not as described on the label and had been inconsistently produced. It was the parents of the children harmed by homeopathy that brought the action - I don't know if they consider themselves to be anti homeopathy activists, but the manufacture and distribution of some homeopathic remedies has most certainly happened.
"the private practice & licensing of homeopaths; the schools, universities, organizations and private groups that teach it;"
- well this just isn't true. A number of universities have stopped teaching homeopathy, most recently in Spain, and they're also stopping validating others' courses. Hooray! The evidence base for homeopathy (poor) is also critiqued in UK pharmacy and medical degree courses, and there are critical-thinking modules available for schools that use it as an example.
"the privately and government funded research studies"
- goodness me, if people are still wasting money on research into homeopathy when it's been comprehensively shown that any effects can be explained by placebo then we need to step up our efforts here ;)
"surveys; the publication of books, journals and magazines for public and student consumption"
- I don't think we've tried that much to be honest. A few people have taken one magazine's advertisers to task for misleading content and to get it removed from a number of shops, but no attempt's been made to stop it from publishing. There have been a few examples of looking at getting books removed from sale (not from being published though) including a pharmaceutical society in the UK that still makes them available for pharmacists (!).
"the social media sites that educate curious health care consumers about it, and the cured patients who sing its praises to family members, co-workers, [casual] and longtime friends."
- particularly for Twitter those promoting homeopathy will certainly be met with rejoinders from people who are skeptical of the claims. I've been in work situations where someone has suggested homeopathy and I've certainly taken the time to explain why that might be unwise (I often gave talks to colleagues and members of the public about diabetes research and often talked about the risks of using either herbal or homeopathic remedies).
"The National Center for Homeopathy in the U.S. recently noted that the interest in their website grew by a "whopping 600%" over the past two years."
I emailed and asked them about this and they were unable to confirm, only wanting to know why I wanted to know, which is a bit odd. 600% seems quite an impressive figure so you might imagine they'd want to tell a homeopathy skeptic about it. They said it was something that had been sent in a newsletter to members. I've no idea then if the 600% figure is true but let's assume that it is. But it doesn't tell us if they had only 2 visitors two years ago and that this has just gone up to 14 visitors two years later ;) It also doesn't tell us if they're measuring all visitors (which includes Google indexing 'bots') plus people visiting by accident, or who are skeptics. Nor does it tell us what those visitors think about the information they found there.

Practicing the five precepts of Buddhism is something I try to live by on a day-to-day basis. Some days I'm better at it than others.
A few months ago I discovered the teachings of Abraham Hicks. Its basic premise is; your life experiences are a result of what you think and believe. Its Law of Attraction 101. Abraham's teachings have a few similarities to Buddhism, in that they both teach;
- You find happiness from within not outside of yourself.
- You are responsible for your actions.
- Feel grateful for what you have in your life experience right now.
- Meditation and the importance of living in the moment.
I resonate with all of those ideas.
So now I study both philosophies daily and they help me be aware of my actions and my thoughts throughout the day. Before Abraham, I used to allow myself to get sucked into another person's drama. I found myself trying to fix the person's problem instead of allowing them to find their own solution and grow from their experience. I was everybody's "mom" and it was wearing me out. Now I either listen and try to be supportive or I change the subject to something positive.
I also look at my own behavior, especially my thoughts. When I find myself thinking negatively, I remind myself that they are only thoughts and then gently bring myself back to the present moment. My thoughts used rule my life and I believed everything my mind told me. Now I ask myself if what I'm thinking is really true and for the most the answer is "no."
Infusing Buddhism and Abraham's teachings has made my life happier.

Here you go, here is my piece of free hand embroidery which I have called Hearts and Flowers. You might remember that originally I thought I might put them in a vase but I thought they looked better as a tied bunch, besides which it gave me a chance to try some of the other stitches on my machine.
And here are a couple of other views:
I am not sure whether I should frame it or make it the cover of a gardening diary, I am wavering towards the latter.
I have to say it was great fun to just let rip... I know I need to practice more but for my first attempt I am pretty pleased.

Your flowers would look beautiful as a picture but they would make a lovely journal cover too!
When you've been sewing with a machine in a traditional manner for years, free-motion embroidery takes a bit of getting used to doesn't it?

Next Episode of Cardfight!! Vanguard is
The protagonist of this story, Sendo Aichi, is a timid boy in his third year of middle school. He had been living his life looking backward rather than forward, trying not to stand out. However, he had one thing that kept him going - the Blaster Blade, a card from a card game that was given to him when he was little. That card is the reason why he begins to engage in Card Fights, something that changes his life drastically. The name of the card game is Vanguard. The game takes place in a different planet called Klay, and due to a never before seen play system, it becomes popular throughout the world. Aichi, immediately attracted by Vanguard, meets friends such as Togura Misaki and Katsuragi Kamui, along with other rivals. Through friendly rivalry with them, Aichi begins to enjoy a fulfilling life. Aichi, however, has a goal: to once again battle with a Vanguard Fighter by the name

It's bank holiday weekend, so what are your plans for tonight? Big night out? Cocktails with the girls? BBQ? I'll be chilling in my onesie watching the British Soap Awards, such a loser, but I don't even care!
I'm a big fan of Hollyoaks, so I always enjoy the awards, waiting to see if they win (although this year I've seen the list of winners, but don't worry I won't give anything away!)
My favourite part though, is admiring the dresses... this is my best dressed list.
Sophie Austin who plays Lindsay on Hollyoaks wore my favourite dress of the night, I think she looks amazing. I love navy, it's such a classy colour, yet not as formal as black and the cut of the dress with the train is the perfect amount of glamour for a red carpet event. Unfortunately you can't really see from this photo, but the waistline of the dress was embellished with diamantes, which she balanced perfectly with a simple clutch bag and slicked back hair.
Steph Waring looked super pretty in an eye-catching yellow lace number which really compliments her hair and her sun kissed makeup look by Cassie Lomas Makeup Academy. Last year if anyone had rocked up in yellow, they would have been laughed at but it seems yellow is the colour of SS14. I'm quite surprised there weren't any more yellow frocks on the red carpet!
Jazmine Franks also went for a nude dress, a much slinkier style than everyone else's which really flattered her shape. I love the grecian hairstyle, the simple choice of jewellery and her tan too!
Last but not least, Jorgie Porter is someone who's style goes up and down for me, I always find myself either really loving what she's wearing, or really hating it. This year she gets the thumbs up from me, she's styled her hair and makeup really classic, something which wouldn't look out of place in Hollywood and then she's chosen a really glam dress with a cheeky twist to keep it young and relevant to her own style. The see through top is subtle and still pretty and the slit in the skirt isn't too risky, it just lets her flash enough skin (and her lovely shoes!)
Who's outfit was your favourite?!

On the eve of a new ascendant phase in the market, which promises to be far more modest and uncertain than the previous one, the financialization of the Italian real estate market still appears to be inadequate to the needs of households and businesses, as well as insufficient to structurally increase the market's size and attractiveness. Nomisma's survey of Italian households on issues regarding savings, debt related to the purchase of housing and the intention to invest reflects a contrasting picture of the economic situation of the country for 2016. On the one hand, there is an improvement in indicators reflecting the short-term earnings capacity, on the other, there is an ongoing uncertainty of prospects, which inevitably penalizes the medium-term scenario and justifies the caution that today permeates the decisions of households and businesses.
Contributing to dampening the enthusiasm is the lukewarm response from the banking sector in responding to requests for support from households, demonstrated by the fact that the striking increase in the amount disbursed for housing purchases actually obscures a significant share of subrogation and substitution. The continuation of the selective approach of lenders is induced by a number of factors, among which the most important appears to be the inability to dispose of the enormous amount of non-performing loans in a still illiquid market without incurring further massive writedowns. While the season for real estate funds aimed at the retail audience seems destined to end, with its epilogue weighed down by uncertainties relating to the effective capacity to liquidate assets, a new season could open up for the listed real estate investment companies (REITs), though not without difficulties. Besides the now historic teams operating in the market for almost a decade, new ones are being laboriously added. Nevertheless, their target, at least judging by the outcome of recent public offerings, continues to be that of qualified operators.

Developmental Editing
I provide developmental editing in the following genres:
- Science Fiction & Fantasy
- Romance
- Mystery
I do not provide copyediting services at this time. I am currently not providing developmental editing services for erotica, horror, middle grade, or children's books.
I provide all clients with an initial "sample edit" for a flat fee, which serves as a deposit on your full package and as a way for us to get to know each other.
I offer three editing packages:
Full Developmental Edit
A developmental edit consists of an in-depth analysis of structure, plot, character, theme, and other story elements. Two rounds of editorial feedback are included, along with two video, chat, or phone sessions to discuss your manuscript. My goal is always to help you make your story live up to your vision, and we'll work closely to bring out its strengths, puzzle out plot problems, and make those characters come alive.
Rates for a full edit are $2.50 per page (in standard manuscript format).
Light Developmental Edit
The light developmental edit still includes in-depth analysis of all the story elements of the full developmental edit, but will include only one round of feedback and a single phone or video chat.
Rates for the light edit are $1.50 per page.
Quick Crit
Designed for people who are looking to target specific issues on a more advanced manuscript, or who are looking for direction in the early stages of a manuscript, the quick crit consists of a shorter, more focused critique. Unlike a developmental edit, quick crits are suitable for unfinished manuscripts. The quick crit includes a single phone or video call.
Rates for the quick crit are $1.00 per page.
For more information or to request a full quote, please email email@example.com with "Editing Query" in the subject line or use the contact form below.
Cover Design
I also provide cover design, interior design, social media banners, swag, and more. You can see my prices and portfolio at Kate Marshall Designs.

Today, I repeat a blog from five years ago. It is about one of my most memorable holidays. Thanks to Stephanie who suggested it.
A few years ago, during the financial crisis, most in our family were unable to spend much for gifts. We agreed to give the kids smaller presents, but the adults were in a quandary.
Larry grew up with a large extended family. All the kids got something small, but lots of gifts. Auntie Wanda, who worked in a bank, gave each child a crisp, new two-dollar bill. Uncle Francis brought them each a shiny silver dollar. (Kim still has some of hers.) Auntie Margie loved finding loud and crazy socks. She'd shop all year for them. (And Kim insisted on wearing them—with everything.)
Since Larry's dad was one of six, and most were married with kids, we often had forty or more on Christmas Eve. Dad was the youngest and was sixteen years younger than his oldest sister. We loved having kids and adults of all ages, and we welcomed a new family member every few years.
The adults drew names for gifts with a $20 limit. This meant each couple only had to buy two adult gifts. Names were drawn on Thanksgiving, but we weren't particularly strict about sticking with the names as drawn. Much horse trading occurred between that date and Christmas Eve.
Everyone knew Cousin Gerry loved getting Larry's brother, Casey. Both were pranksters, and Gerry loved giving Casey off-the-wall gifts.
One year, she gave him a large box. When he opened it, the only thing inside was a clue to the next gift. She routed him all over the house until he finally located the small box in the center of her cookie plate. It held a $20 bill. Another year, he received a coffee can filled with change embedded in the most awful mixture of white glue, peanut butter, chocolate syrup… Well, you can imagine. He had to run the whole thing under very hot water before he was able to extract his $20 in change.
I always loved getting Auntie Margie. She had very definite tastes, and most of the rest of them found her challenging. What a coup when I was able to please her, and I did so often.
For many years, we hosted the entire family, but as the older generation died out, and the 'kids' grew up and moved away, the group grew smaller until we were left with only our immediate families.
As Christmas of 2009 approached, some of us were faced with limited resources. My sister-in-love, Lucy, had just started a new job. Casey's company had folded, as had mine. Kim had moved to Texas for work and was no longer working two jobs. Our niece, Carrie, and her husband were leaving right after the first of the year to move to Utah. In short, times were financially challenging, and money was tight.
A coworker was faced with the same situation in her family. She had just gone back to work after nine months of unemployment. (I had gotten her a contract job at the same place I was working.)
Her family decided on a virtual Christmas. The rules were simple:
· Decide what you would give each family member if money were no object and without any restrictions.
· Write a note to each person, along with pictures or other enhancements (web pages, etc.) to let them know what you'd give them and why.
· Put your virtual gift in an envelope, and put it on the tree on Christmas Eve.
Everyone took the challenge seriously. And the gifts we received that year far surpassed any material gifts we might have gotten.
I have kept my virtual gifts locked carefully away along with the birth certificates, marriage certificate, and all the other valuable papers. They are that precious.
Kim 'gave' Larry a trip to outer space, complete with photos and a web page. I 'got' a house in Hawaii.
My brother, who is a classic car fanatic, 'gave' Larry a woody and me a '57 Thunderbird—my favorite car of all time.
Carrie and Loren had just bought a new house in Utah, so they brought the map of their neighborhood. Their 'gift' was a house of our choice so we could be near them.
Larry's gift was a trip to Hawaii for the whole family. His gift to me was to retire and travel to all the places on my bucket list: Machu Picchu, England, Scotland (again), New Zealand (again, Italy (again), and Hawaii (always). Oh, and he'd go along.
My gifts were all intangibles. To Kim, I 'gave' happiness. To my brother, confidence, and so forth. Larry's gift reads as follows:
To Larry I would give
In God and your faith
In your work and your play
In your family and home
In love and marriage
You are the greatest blessing in my life.
If I could do it all over again,
I would. You taught me how to laugh
And play and love (the best parts).
I love you.
We haven't done it again, but someday, perhaps, we will. I'd recommend it to anyone, whether or not finances are an issue.
My virtual gift for you? A joyous and blessed holiday season and a prosperous New Year. May all your fondest dreams come true.

Cabrillo High jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the first two innings of its Moore League baseball game against Millikan on Friday at Blair Field.
The Jaguars banged out four hits during the early barrage and were primed to defeat a Rams team ripe for a letdown after having beaten powerhouse Wilson two days earlier in the league opener.
As quickly as Cabrillo started, its momentum dissipated just as rapidly. The Jaguars got just two hits over the last five innings and ended up getting routed, 11-4.
Erick Bryant, the Cabrillo coach, was disappointed in his charges' effort after they took the four-run lead.
"I keep continuing to tell these young men that, `Hey, you gotta continue to compete. This is a tough league,"' Bryant said. "The Moore League is probably one of the toughest leagues out here.
"And we just have to be able to compete and play for seven complete innings and eliminate the errors and, that, we didn't do."
The Jaguars (0-2 in league), who are playing in the St. Paul Easter Tournament this week, made four errors.
Following his team's aforementioned 5-4 upset loss at the hands of Millikan (2-0 in league) on Wednesday at Blair Field, Wilson coach Andy Hall bemoaned a blown rundown in the sixth inning that led to the tying and winning runs for the Rams.
Hall spoke about the target his team has on its back after winning the CIF-Southern Section Division I championship last season and being named national champion. Hall also praised Millikan.
"They're not a better team than us, but they're good enough to beat us," Hall said. "That's what I told the kids after the game.
"They're as good as us and if we don't play a good game …"
Hall also doled out a gentle reminder.
"I told the kids at the end, I said, `They're (the Rams) excited like they won the CIF championship. But they don't understand it's just the first league game. We got 11 games to go,"' Hall said. "And we're going to get back on the drawing board and work a little harder in practice. We'll be ready to go."
The Bruins were ready two days later, on Friday, when they defeated Jordan, 13-0, to improve to 1-1 in league. Wilson then went to 8-2 overall when it beat Santa Margarita, 4-2, Saturday in the first round of the Anaheim Lions Tournament.
After graduating from Millikan High in 1995, Jeff Breuklander enrolled at Long Beach City College and eventually transferred to Long Beach State with the intention of earning a degree in business administration.
Breuklander played basketball with the Rams and the Vikings, and while playing for Gary Anderson at LBCC, he realized he wanted to redirect his career path.
"I got interested in coaching and realized that's what I wanted to do," he said Monday afternoon.
So Breuklander swapped majors, got his degree in Kinesiology and Physical Education.
And now he's the head basketball coach at his high school alma mater.
The 31-year-old Breuklander, who teaches Physical Education at Millikan, served as the Rams' interim coach this past season and was given the job on a full-time basis a few weeks ago.
The Rams were 4-22 overall and 1-11 in the Moore League this past season.
But two of those victories came against quality opponents. One came outside the league against La Mirada, which lost to Dominguez in the second round of the CIF Southern Section I-AA playoffs, and the other was league rival Wilson, which advanced to the I-AA semifinals.
"I want to get the program back to where it was when I played here under Kevin Mickelson," Breuklander said. "I want to coach competitive and respected teams."
The Rams had six underclassmen on the team last season, including junior guard Kierre Beverly, who averaged 13.7 points per game.

The 41-year-old struck from 12 yards to open the scoring and George Elokobi fired United's second after Wednesday failed to clear Mark Yeates' corner.
Akpo Sodje replied from Steve Watson's cross before half-time.
But neither side could score in a tight second half despite chances for Elokobi and Wednesday's Jermaine Johnson.
"We were second best all the game and in all areas of the pitch.
"We need to regroup and focus against Southampton. We have to forget that previous result and, in the past, we've always done that and we've come back after a setback."
"People have said we are too good to go down, but nobody is too good. You have to keep proving it and we have to keep going.
"This was a massive win because, when you don't get a result, sometimes belief can disappear. But we have kept going and we got the result we deserved."

AutoAssign is a constraint-based expert system for automating the analysis of backbone resonance assignments using NMR spectra of small proteins. Originally developed in the Lisp programming language [1] the current version of AutoAssign includes a C++ server supported for SGI computer systems, together with a graphical user interface implemented in Java for multiplatform use. The C++/Java AutoAssign automates the assignments of HN, NH, CO, C-alpha, C-beta, and H-alpha resonances from a set of peak-picked triple-resonance NMR spectra[1]. Test data provided with the program include several independently-collected triple-resonance NMR peak lists for proteins ranging in size from ~6 to ~18 kD. With these real data, AutoAssign obtains nearly complete resonance assignments (~98%) with virtually no errors (< 0.5%). The constraint-based algorithm limits assignments to only those with significant evidence. AutoAssign performs the automated analysis of backbone resonance assignments in only seconds on current RISC and Pentium-based platforms.

AutoAssign is available for SGI IRIX and Redhat Linux platforms.
|We formulated the
multidimensional nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy (NOESY)
interpretation problem using graph theory and developed a novel
topology-constrained distance network analysis algorithm for NOESY
cross peak interpretation using assigned resonances. AutoStructure is a
software suite which implements this topology-constrained distance
network analysis algorithm and iteratively generates structures using
the three-dimension (3D) protein structure calculation programs
XPLOR/CNS or DYANA. The minimum input for AutoStructure includes the
amino acid sequence, a list of resonance assignments, and lists of 2D,
3D, and/or 4D-NOESY cross peaks.
Program AutoQF assesses the quality of input data and final 3D structures using a statistical measure of goodness-of-fit with the input data, F-measure. The input for AutoStructure includes the amino acid sequence, a list of resonance assignments, lists of 2D, 3D, and/or 4D-NOESY cross peaks, and the query structure(s).

HOMA: HOmology Modeling Automatically
|We have described an automatic approach for homology
modeling using restrained molecular dynamics and simulated annealing procedures
et al, Protein Science, 6, 956-970, 1997
This method uses distances calculated from the template structure to determine the structure of a homologous protein. This software calculates distances between atoms in the template structure from a pdb file and then, uses a sequence alignment file to select the distance constraints involving homologous atoms.
HOMA is a user-friendly, web-based implementation of this algorithm. HOMA requires an alignment of the template sequence against the query sequence and a template coordinate file to carry out the calculations. The results include a bundle of models as well as analysis of the model quality.
HOMA is available at http://www-nmr.cabm.rutgers.edu/HOMA/ or http://hyper.quifis.uv.es/HOMA/index.html, under password protection.

Modern protein NMR spectroscopy laboratories have a rapidly growing need for an easily queried local archival system of raw experimental NMR datasets. SPINS (Standardized ProteIn Nmr Storage) is an object-oriented relational database that provides facilities for high-volume NMR data archival, organization of analyses, and dissemination of results to the public domain by automatic preparation of the header files required for submission of data to the BioMagResBank (BMRB). The current version of SPINS coordinates the process from data collection to BMRB deposition of raw NMR data by standardizing and integrating the storage and retrieval of these data in a local laboratory file system.

The SPINS project is evolving into an integrated software solution
to the NMR structural determination process. SPINS interacts with
over 20 different pieces of NMR software providing users with a highly integrated
approach to automated data collection management, NMR data processing, peak-picking,
spin-typing, resonance assignments, side-chain assignments, structural determination,
as well numerous validation and reporting tools.
|With the completion of several genome sequencing projects, much of the emphasis in biological research has shifted to functional and structural characterization of the proteins encoded by these genomes. Efforts are being made to automate and optimize the multi-stage process of three-dimensional protein structure determination. Data management is an important aspect of this automation. ZebaView, which is available at http://www-nmr.cabm.rutgers.edu/bioinformatics/ZebaView/, is a web-based tool that allows scientists to quickly access important summary information about current protein targets in the Northeast Structural Genomics Consortium. It also allows the user to access more in depth information about the targets via links to other parts of ZebaView and outside resources. ZebaView links to Primer Prim'er, allowing users to quickly create primers for two commonly used plasmid systems. It also minimizes target overlap with other structural genomics projects and with known protein structures by providing access to tools to search against the targets of 13 different structural genomics consortiums and all released PDB structures.

You can learn from every situation. Whether it was an incredible service experience that makes you a raving fan or whether it is one where you're left shaking your head.
A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to celebrate a milestone with my daughter. It was time for her to obtain her driver's permit. She had finished a weeklong driver's education course, passed the written test, obtained all of the paperwork, and we had dutifully filled out the forms.
Everything was ready.
Now it was time for us to go to the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), get her picture taken, and obtain the permit. I knew it would take time. That's the nature of the DMV. I figured an hour to an hour and a half max.
Instead, we quickly realized that getting the permit was going to be about as difficult as Frodo making it safely to Mordor.
All of us have had the same shared, miserable experience at the DMV. In every state I've lived in, it's the same. We just forget, don't we? We finally get what we need, and then we hope that we never have to go back.
Our experience was even worse than what I recalled from before. Nearly five hours later, we finally emerged with the permit. All of the waiting for just five minutes at the counter.
We were exhausted, but we also were laughing. That's what we do when we are beyond frustrated. Jim Rohn used to say, "Learn to turn frustration into fascination." When I'm terribly frustrated, I try to heed his advice.
Learn to turn frustration into fascination. -Jim Rohn
Here's what I jotted down in my notes during that first hour:
I'm fascinated:
- That this operation is so inefficient.
- That no one has redone this entire system.
- That we blindly put up with it because we feel powerless.
- That leaders haven't emerged to fix it.
- That they aren't listening to suggestions for change.
After two hours, I was no longer fascinated. That's when I go to my second step. I look for customer service or leadership lessons. That worked for the next hour.
What business lessons can we learn from the DMV?
From my notes:
Set expectations.
At the DMV, they don't give an estimated time until you will be served. Failing to set expectations leads to disappointment.
Lesson: Whether running a business or serving on a team, it's important to set expectations—and then keep them.
