In the field of veterinary pathology, it's important to have a LIMS (laboratory information management system) that is both powerful and versatile. Autoscribe's leading veterinary LIMS — Matrix Gemini — ticks both those boxes, and several more besides.
Unlike generic LIMS software, Matrix Gemini was developed and customised specifically for veterinary pathology environments, based on extensive consultation with Autoscribe's existing customers. This forward-thinking design process has lent the software a number of powerful features that will meet and exceed the needs of most veterinary laboratories.
One of Matrix Gemini's main strengths is that it is highly configurable. We realise that there can be a world of difference between lab environments — not just in size, but in roles and scope. By offering a solution that can be finely tailored to your laboratory's unique requirements, we have designed a product far superior to the 'one size fits all' approach that is sometimes evident in LIMS software.
Of course, Matrix Gemini presents all the functions that you would expect of a well-designed LIMS — sample recording and tracking, easily verifiable audit trails, versatile data management etc. — but goes beyond this with a variety of features that make the product not just functional, but a platform that can help drive efficiency and excellence in your laboratory. In short, Matrix Gemini supports not just laboratory management, but business management on a wider scale.
One firm to have taken advantage of what Matrix Gemini has to offer is Finn Pathologists — a highly respected veterinary pathology service established in 1984. Offering a variety of diagnostic services including histopathology, cytology, haematology and clinical chemistry, when they were looking to replace their expired legacy system they needed a LIMS that would meet functional requirements significantly above and beyond their existing system. After choosing and using Matrix Gemini, Finn Pathologists' lab manager complimented the comprehensive audit trail recorded by the system, while further highlighting the excellent customer service they received — a service on which Autoscribe rightly pride themselves.

Circle Takes The Square's long-coming 2nd full length album Deompositions Volume 1 finally came out last night and it is truly amazing, easily one of my favorite albums of the year. I used to associate them with the hardcore/metalcore scene, but this album feels much more to me like a black metal/prog-metal album. It's really incredible.
Some year-end list research has led me to a handful of 2012 releases which I missed initially but have really enjoyed over the past few weeks:
Group Rhoda - Out of Touch, Out of Mind: a must-listen for fans of Peaking Lights, and would have certainly been a fantastic summer album to melt away to in the heat.
Horrid Red - Celestial Joy: 80s synth-pop meets no-wave meets lo-fi; unsettling, but in the best way possible.
Jam City - Classical Curves: been mentioned by a few others in some of the year-end threads, but a fantastically groovy electronic/dance album.
Ricardo Villalobos - Dependent and Happy: a bit of a return-to-form for a minimal techno master, with over 2 hours of music spread across three LPs.
I'm also about to dig into the Lee Gamble and Terrence Dixon releases too, as those two have received a lot of praise.

Third Man Records in conjunction with Columbia Records is proud to announce that Jack White's album "Blunderbuss" is the biggest selling vinyl album of 2012 according to Nielsen Soundscan's vinyl charts with over 33,000 copies sold.
Knocking the Beatles' "Abbey Road" off the top spot (a position it had held the previous three years), "Blunderbuss" sales are the highest for a new album (not a catalog album) since Soundscan began specifically tracking vinyl in 2008.
White is currently nominated for three Grammys from "Blunderbuss", including Album of the Year.

First hand accounts of life at the Cape...Part 1
A final update in the saga of Jan Blanx. Quite simply he disappeared from Van Riebeeck's Journal after his last misdemeanour. I can only assume that Commander Van Riebeeck was only too pleased to get rid of this irritating thorn in his side and packed him off to the 'Fatherland' on one of the many ships returning from the East. The only way to continue a search for him would be to consult documents relating to the Company's employees e.g. discharge papers or further trials, for I don't think that our Jan would have changed his ways much on leaving the Cape! This I will leave to someone else! There are so many interesting things in Van Riebeeck's Journal and it is a must for anyone researching the earliest settlers as well as the future history of the settlement.
In fact journals and diaries remain one of the richest sources of life in general for any family historian and there is a vast array of them to be found that were written in the early days at the Cape. The most famous of these would be those of Van Riebeeck and later that of Lady Anne Barnard, written between 1797 and 1801. Apart from being an accomplished writer, Lady Anne was also an interested and adventurous observer of life in all its facets. She obviously loved people and her great love of animals and her compassion for them is evident throughout her letters and journals. She tells of a buck in the following manner: "I reared him myself, without a mother, and he seems now to regard me as one, following me like a dog, and begging hard at night for Barnard's [her husband] permission to sleep on my feet." She also had a couple of secretary birds and a sea calf which she says "I gave in charge to a slave, with orders to seize the golden opportunity of his bleating to insert the spout of a teapot in his mouth and give him his bellyful of milk." Then there was a penguin "the penguin is half the day in the pond with the calf and the other half of it in the drawing room with me." She had two jackals which were 'the delight of the dogs in the garrison...and allow themselves to be chased all round the flat topped wall of the fortress for about 2 hours," before they hid for the night in a cellar in the Castle. She also had two wild cats, a horned owl and a green chameleon from Madagascar..."but the buck possessed my heart."
Lady Anne left a vivid account of life at the Cape. She mentioned people in detail, she travelled far afield and wrote about who she met and the places at which they stayed. She wrote about the price and quality of food and wine and laughed at those who sneered at the local wines. Her sense of humour is evident throughout her letters most of which were addressed to her great friend Henry Dundas, First Viscount Mellville. She was curious and down to earth when it came to interacting with 'local' people. Politically she was aware of the nuances prevailing at the Cape between the Dutch and the new British occupants and made sure that she did not heed the snobbery of some of her countrymen when it came to socialising.
All in all this is a fantastic read - but there are other diaries which you will find just as fascinating. More on these later.

This is just something I've noticed and have found kinda odd and at times annoying. I just graduated from a 2 year art school with my Associates degree in Illustration and I'm going to go to MICA in the fall to get my BFA. I graduated with a final 3.79 GPA and i got a perfect 4.0 GPA in the final semester, but it seems most friends and family I tell don't seem impressed or care. The most common response I get is "Well, it is art school." Which kinda pisses me off every time I hear it.
Well I didn't post this just to vent, I wanted to see if anyone has any kind of similar experiences where their own art achievements get unnoticed or written off by people who don't know or understand just how hard art really is, Please feel free to post.

Kick off 17:30 BST at Wembley Stadium
England - Lampard jnr 31'(pen) Defoe 63'
Slovenia - Ljubijankic 85'
Friday, 04 September, 2009
Three Lions Manager insists he is only thinking of Slovenia.
Fabio Capello has banished any talk of Croatia ahead of next week's World Cup qualifying showdown. England will qualify for the World Cup if they beat Croatia at Wembley next Wednesday and The Three Lions will prepare for the clash with a game against Slovenia on Saturday. But while the country is dreaming of South Africa, tough taskmaster Capello insists he is only looking towards the weekend. "I am not thinking about Croatia," he said. "We have not spoken about them. Yesterday we had a meeting and spoke about the Holland friendly and the mistakes we made."This evening will we talk about Slovenia. Croatia is another game - I am only thinking about Slovenia."The clash on Saturday will give Capello the chance to find his best eleven for the crucial World Cup qualifier four days later and the England Manager admits the team that starts against Slovenia could be the one to tackle the Croatians. "I have to choose the players and on Saturday I will use six subs just like I did against Holland in the friendly," he said. "I have to decide on the best players to use. I must decide the first eleven and put out the best players for Croatia."With four goals in two matches from the bench for his country, Tottenham striker Jermain Defoe is the main man at the moment. His starring role in the 2-2 draw against Holland showed his attacking prowess and Capello says he has a big decision on his hands about his role in the team. "Will I start Defoe? That is a good question. It is one of the many decisions I have to make," he added.Tickets for the Slovenia game are still available, and can be bought online by clicking here.

A fake gun and panty hose were found near the suspect when he was taken into custody, the prosecutor said.Gibbs, who has been to prison five times, has a prior robbery conviction from 1998 and an attempted robbery conviction from 1995, according to the criminal complaint.He faces up to 190 years to life behind bars if convicted under California's "three strikes" law, Koerber said.Gibbs will be back in court June 1 for a readiness conference and June 5 for a preliminary hearing.Copyright Do you have more information about this story?

What: The SMART green team has designed grade-appropriate PowerPoint presentations on global warming, sustainability, and climate change!
The main objective of this presentation is to share with students the effects climate change and poor air quality has on our environment, and to present them with ideas and solutions each of them can do at home, at school and every day to make healthy choices to create a more sustainable environment.
We have also designed a worksheet to help students follow along with the presentation The worksheet contains review questions where the answers can be found within the presentation. On the backside, there is a fun crossword puzzle that quizzes the students on concepts they just learned from the presentation. At the end of the presentation, we ask students, as a class, to take the "SMART pledge" Then, we present the class with a "certificate of completion". Where: At your school, in your classroom! The SMART green team comes to you! When: Rain or shine, we can present any time during the school year!
Why: One of the goals of the SMART campaign, is to educate the San Mateo community on simple behavior changes everyone can make in their every day lives to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Length: The presentation takes 30-45 minutes. Throughout the presentation, we have interactive Q&A and we welcome discussions that arise from the topics we discuss.
Interested in having a SMART Speaker come to your school? If this sounds like something you would like to add to your curriculum, please fill out our online speaker request form.

Ted and Karen Nichols, owners of Nichols Hardware in Purcellville, Va., were killed in a car crash on Sept. 5 after their SUV ran off a highway and hit a tree, according to an article in the Washington Post. The couple, along with five other relatives, were returning from an apple-picking outing to celebrate the 90th birthday of Doris Louer, Karen Nichols's mother. Louer also died in the single-car accident.
The driver, Robert Louer, 65, of Florida, ran his Chevy Suburban off the side of Highway 55, over-corrected and drove over an embankment into a tree, according to Virginia State Police.
All of the vehicle's passengers were taken to the hospital with injuries. Two of the fatalities, Ted Nichols, 64, and Karen Nichols, 63, operated the 100-year-old hardware store in downtown Purcellville, Va., which had been in their family for three generations.

Okay the only reason I care about this is because I live in Portland, but I have followed that acting blog through all the films and the info always seems accurate, or maybe I didn't have anything to compare it to. How do we know Gossipcon is right and he is not? Anyway he has a rebutle to Gossipcons claim, and it sounds pretty convincing to me.
The Portland Examiner is also reporting that BD will be filmed in Portland...Oh how I hope they're right. - October 12, 2009 at 6:43 PM

- IS&GS-Defense iPhone Application
A glimpse into the development of a hypothetical UI. - The past few weeks were great weeks for getting a few projects off the ground. The one I was most excited about getting started was the IS&GS-Defense iPhone App GUI. This didn't have much of a budget. In fact NONE really at all, but we were able to get a few hours approved to create a conceptual visualization.
The Purpose
The task I was given was to create a believable user interface and some "eye candy" screen shots of an iOS application that tied into the existing content type of an existing internal website. Since I am the point of contact for the main internal Defense site, take care of the day-to-day maintenance, and design new content for it I had a pretty good overview of the material already in place. For example, the iPhone app icon was based off the favicon designed for the internal site. The favicon, is based on a very simplified version of the actual logo that belongs to IS&GS-Defense which can be seen in the load screen below.
In order to tell the story to potential customers I felt like the screen shots needed to be a storyboard and decided to do a "hero" type shot to show everything at once. They follow the path a person would take at the highest level of the app in order to review the "News" section. Of course, each screen would be in a presentation that would be talked to and possibly even shown on the actual iPhone to get the full effect.
I really wanted an opportunity to really get my hands deep into this and really develop the graphics and interface but we were very limited with the time allowed on the project. So, I did the best I could with the limitations placed on me. I still hope one day I'll get a chance to get really involved with something like this again and carry things out to it's fullest potential.
The following was done in 8-9 hours.

Soup For Weight Loss
Soup for weight loss – weight loss represent the soup of celery, and avocado, onion and tomato soups.
If you have already tried a lot of different diets, but not yet practiced the soup diet, it's time to see what advantages it has and what results it achieves.
Soup diet is good because it is completely harmless to the body. Unlike many "hard" diets, slimming soups allow the body to supply all the necessary vitamins and mineralsand only restricts fat intake. Therefore it does not deplete the body, and psychologically easier to bear, because soup diet does not even prohibit the use of fish and meat. However, it is quite effective: for a week you can get rid of the five extra pounds.
The basis for a soup diet for weight loss are the vegetables, which are divided into three groups.first presented vegetables, accelerate fat burning and reduces the insulin (and it dulls the craving for sweets). An example of this group of products is the avocado. The second group of vegetables slows the absorption of fats from the diet, preventing excessive accumulation in the body.Representatives of this group – beans, apples and carrots.

The district said earlier in the year they were going to contact other property owners as well as an online survey to parents. Well, lo and behold, they didn't talk to anyone else other than the online survey.
I'm a property owner in this school district and I was never contacted. No one else I know was contacted either including people who have kids in the school system.
So much for talking to the property owners, you know the ones. The people who get taxed to pay the salaries etc.
I will definitely vote NO!

Not true, but there are a lot of cowards in Congress. Politicians know how to count votes and money. They will act with their conscience when they are termed out. The House was never meant to be a career position, as it has now become.

Sheriff Foster and Family
During my tenure as Sheriff of this great county, I have seen vast changes in law enforcement techniques as well as a myriad of changes in criminal activities. Today we are dealing with sophisticated criminals with techniques that require specialization in law enforcement capabilities to counter the ever growing threat to our communities.
This specialization of criminal arenas has been met by incorporating the finest law enforcement personnel with the latest equipment and technology that has earned our county for the last 10 years the following: 1. ONE OF THE LOWEST CRIME RATES in South Carolina 2. THE HIGHEST SOLVE RATE in South Carolina
MY PLEDGE TO YOU: I will maintain Law and order in our communities and will actively seek out those individuals that break the laws of our state and community and dare tread upon the peace and tranquillity that we each enjoy.
James Lee Foster , Sheriff
