I have been thinking about the subject of this post for quite some time. I have hesitated writing it because it may seem hypocritical or judgmental and that is the last thing I mean it to be. I am also not looking for compliments or reassurances, because lovely as that is, that is not the point of this post. I know I have good qualities, really I do! It is just that sometimes, you need to do some hard thinking and talking to yourself.
Lately, I find that I am at odds with myself. Shocking, I know. I've been in a place where I am analyzing everything about my life. When I analyze, I am pretty thorough. I say things to myself that would crumble me if they were uttered by someone else. See what I mean? I'm even analyzing my analyzing. Geesh!
What good is analyzing something if you don't put those thoughts and revelations into some sort of action?
Action, especially efficient action, is not something that I excel at. Taking action often requires competition, whether with others, or yourself. I do not compete. DO NOT. I have more than a sneaking suspicion that this has something to do with a lot of choices I have made about my life.
When I was in high school, I got ok grades, if graduating with a 3.3 is considered ok, but I never studied. This pattern continued on through college and my career. It's true that walking away from the life of an opera singer was the right call for me. I wanted a family and the life really sucks, but there was a huge part of me that knew that I could not bear the endless competition that it would require. I think that it is partially why I am inactive from the LDS church. A perpetual feeling of failure.
So? I don't try.
If you don't try, you can't really fail, right? How bad could it hurt if I tried and failed?
Well, I know the answer to that one. It hurts a lot. I think a lot of you would be surprised at how scary and hurtful I find the world, how inadequate I feel. Then again, maybe you wouldn't because I am in the habit of wearing that inadequacy like a badge of honor. A badge that weighs heavier and heavier on me every day.
Being a mother is so frigging hard. Being a homemaker makes me want to howl, shriek, and put a fork in my eye on a regular basis. My home on a great day is so much more cluttered and disorganized than most people. I am not a natural at mothering and struggle so much with keeping house. I think that my outlook on parenting has been to keep my head down, get through it, do the minimal basics and feel grateful if my kids stay in school and don't become crack-dealers. Ok, maybe I am exaggerating somewhat, but seriously? There is a lot more I can do.
When I say I have just been in survival mode and doing the basics, I mean it.
I am not the worst mother in the world, but my kids deserve more. There have been periods of my life (Like my service as Parent Organization President) where even though I failed at times, I knew, KNEW in my heart I was giving my all! Even though those failures still hurt and stung, I had an overall feeling of peace because I was doing my true best. I do not have that feeling very often anymore. It is replaced with doubt, inadequacy, hurt feelings and guilt. Because I know I am not trying as I should.
To combat that guilt, I look for ways to feel justification. It's pretty easy to do. All you have to do is go online and there are tons of people to commiserate with. There is rampant blogging trend going around that most people are familiar with-Taking pride in faults, failures and dropping the ball. Especially in our personal, home and mothering roles. "I'm a slacker!" "I dress like a slob every day!" "Failure, one day at a time!".
I rejoiced in it!
These people understand!!!
This is someone who knows how hard it all is. They will accept me and be ok with the fact that I suck. They will commiserate about wearing pajama pants 24/7 and laugh about how the kids mixed cereal into pudding cups because there wasn't any milk in the house. Oh, I have plenty of "Reasons" for perpetual failure. My house is so tiny! I have no storage!! It's my personality!!! I raced around, reading everything, feeling better and better about my slobbish status quo. Even though I still berated myself about my failures, there was a whole lot of me that felt justified because person A, B and C had the same issues and they weren't terrible people!
Somwhere along the way, I took having people who understood how hard it was to balance everything and turned it into justification for being ok with being a perpetual slacker.
I'm not sure when it happened but, slowly, ever so slowly, this mindset of mine has really started to bother me. It bothers me that somewhere along the way, I stopped taking pride in moments where I could aspire to be THIS. And started to accept THIS- Someone who celebrates being a slob and who stays like this (And this is key)the majority of the time. (And yes, it is a blatant shallow comparison that is focused on the physical. I wanted to use some photos to break up this frigging long post. Try to look beyond that and view the photos as representational of a much deeper issue. )Do I want to be a slacker? To be inept and helpless? Do I want to be a slob? Do I like the fact that a lot of people around me pat me on the head and give me a lollipop because I'm so adorably inept? And worse, that I have given them every reason to think that? Don't I deserve to have more internal peace that I am doing the best I can?
Because this? This is not my best.
The light is finally starting to dawn that there is a fine line between being overly concerned and consumed with image and success and being too complacent with mediocrity and failure.
I write this with not one shred of smugness or superiority.
I'm one of the worst offenders out there. I tend to shout my flaws from the rooftops. Look at the name of this blog, for Pete's sake. I started blogging after I checked myself into a hospital to help deal with the fallout of my son dying. I was incorrectly diagnosed as having bipolar disorder. That title stung and hurt. So, what did I do to deal with it? I told everyone, EVERYONE within ear or eye shot that I was a certifiable loon. "Loralee's Looney Tunes". If I called myself a crazy person first, it wouldn't hurt me so much when other people did it, right?
This post isn't a testimonial about the flaws and negative way of life I conquered and left behind me, either. I am just at the very first stages. Admitting it's a problem. I'm writing this because I want to be better. I want to succeed! I want to know that I have times where I fail, and drop the ball and it's OK because (YET AGAIN) it is the exception rather than the rule. There is nothing wrong with realizing that perfection can't happen, but there is also nothing wrong with shaking off complacency.
I also know that people have different priorities. What bothers me may not bother you. If you wear pj's all the time but are rocking at your mothering or job and have that inner peace, then great! I just know in my heart that I am holding myself back from what I want to be. What I could be with some more efficient effort.
So? What does this all mean, exactly?
Well, I'm not totally sure.
I know that there are some things that are bigger than me, things that will probably always get in my way, ways I will fail in huge, ugly ways, but does that mean that I give up in every area? Because that is exactly what I've done.
I do know that I want this change in my heart to last.
I want to do everything I can to not burn out with this feeling, go too fast or bite more than I can chew. I want to be steady, deliberate and not give up, which pretty much goes against my entire nature.
I can handle back sliding, but I am sick to death of doing nothing but slide deeper into complacency. I have already made huge strides in so many areas, especially with my kids. Jon and I are doing more teamwork about goals than we every have before. I'm looking at so many things and possibilities and most important, implementing them. Even if it is something oh, so tiny. Which, a lot of the times it is.
I'm hoping I didn't hurt any feelings or come off as judgmental because I mean it to be encouraging and hopefully a bit inspiring. Hopefully you know me well enough to KNOW that I understand. I understand how sometimes? You just DON'T have it to give. That life circumstances or medical issues (And yes, I consider depression a medical issue) hold you back and down from living the full life you deserve. Unless it helps you through that muck, this post is NOT FOR THOSE PEOPLE.
This post wouldn't have been for me, even six months ago and there will be times that come up that I probably won't be able to remotely live up to it. In fact, I'm even going to give the same disclaimer to myself: Loralee! If you have things happen that are unavoidable and horrible (Because they happen. Oh, yes, they do.) and if you cannot deal despite all the trying and Diet Coke in the world and are punishing yourself by re-reading this, you can just close the window and walk away, Missy!
Just writing this "Jerry Maguire Moment" has taken courage, but I don't look at that alone as success. I've said a LOT of things before that have lead absolutely nowhere. Still, stating it means I'm putting myself out there and opening myself up for failure and/or success. I'm competing and that is hard , even if it's just with myself. Writing it here makes me accountable. Not just to me, but to you all. I really hope I don't totally suck at it or give up. I don't want to.
Having that desire? That feels good, my friends.
(**This is a positive post for me. Really, it is. Difficult to write, sure, but still a really good thing. I am not sure that this is clear so I'm clarifying)

If you are considering coaching a team or someone has asked to coach a team there are some things to consider. Do you have the time, energy and motivation to coach? Do you have the temperment to deal with players and parents?
Coaching takes time. Do you have the time to commit to practices? Depending on the level you are coaching at, you have may to take time to watch game films, work on strategy, develop play books and of course, coach games. This all takes commitment and energy.
Ask yourself if you have the proper motivation to coach? Are you coaching to insure your child gets playing time? Are you coaching for the love of the game and to try to develop appropriate skills for your players? Before you commit to coaching some soul searching is involved to be sure the motivation is the right motivation.
Coaching has really taken on a whole different level then when you were young most likely. Twenty years ago a parent would have never called a coach about anything, except what time the game was. In this day and age parents call about the position little Johnny is playing or how much he is playing.. Players may also question the same issues. Do you have the temperment to stay cool in these situations?
Coaching can be a great experience but it can also be an awful one. Be sure before you say yes, you have carefully considered all the options.

Recognizing God's Call
By Rev. Dr. Sandy Roger
HAVE you ever heard someone telling of their call to Bible College and thought: "God's call is only for the elite. The Lord would never call me; I'm not spiritual or good enough." Perhaps you feel that all this "call" is something mysterious and definitely not for you.
The Scriptures deal with this subject plainly and practically. So before going any further, will you go and get your bible and read the account of Jesus calling some of his first disciples? You will find it in Matthew 4:18-22.
So often, we think of this incident only as Christ's call to would-be followers, but it also has some more profound lessons about how Christ calls people to his service. The "call to discipleship stories" in the Gospels always operate on two levels – encouragement for those taking their first tentative steps in Christ's direction, and the challenge to face up to what this will eventually entail.
Jesus called people who had already proved themselves as workers. It is highly unlikely that the Lord is going to call you to Bible College and train you for Christian service if you are not already working for Him. The Jewish Rabbis tended to call people to follow them and become great scholars. Jesus, in contrast, was on the lookout for workers.
Among the original disciples there were seven fishermen. Why so many? These men had the very qualities needed for the life of discipleship. In their busy jobs they had already acquired the basic skills of patience, courage, co-operation and trust.
Jesus called people to a new task in which they could use their old skills.
Christ's call does not obliterate all of your past experience and skills. These are the very things He wants to use.
It forces us to ask the question: "What do I do in my present, secular employment that I could utilize in the service of Christ and His Church?" All the people Jesus called brought something with them to be used for Christ and by Christ. Luke certainly made use of his medical skill. Paul brought with him his passionate religious zeal and sharp mind. Lydia placed her home at the Lord's disposal. Bible College training will only make our life skills more effective.
Jesus called people to leave certain things behind. The followers here gave up their means of livelihood, their family, and their security. Some are called today to do the same. All are called to support those who do.
There is always an element of sacrifice in responding to Christ's call. But he never drags people kicking and screaming against their will. Those who become involved in Christ's service out of a sense of pressure, guilt or fear inevitably end up frustrated, angry and resentful. Their testimony becomes, "Look what I gave up." To which the Lord replies, "Yes, but the one thing you haven't given up is your self."
Jesus called different kinds of people. Peter was impulsive and headstrong. He had a big heart, but he also had a big mouth and big feet! Andrew was content always to play a supporting role. James and John were probably nicknamed the sons of thunder because of their fiery tempers. We know that along with their mother they were overly ambitious. But Jesus called them all. It is no problem to him to take our personality defects and eccentricities. In fact, he is the only One who can do anything with them.
Jesus expects our eventual response. This was not the first time these men had met Jesus. Previously they had been to his home and they had even accompanied him to a wedding reception. By piecing together the various Gospel accounts it becomes clear that he had actually given them about a year to think it over. Jesus never hurries or hassles people into discipleship and service.
I would love to think that some of your reasons for not recognizing or responding to Christ's call could be demolished by taking a fresh look at this familiar story.
• All the skills learned in life so far could be used by Jesus, if only they were placed in His hands.
• Even though you see yourself as different from every Bible College student you know, that does not mean there is no place for your gifts and personality.
• The Lord has given you more than enough time to mull things over and in your heart you know it is now time for action.
Here is a prayer that you might find helpful.
Lord Jesus, for some time I have been aware of your call upon my life, and I have now reached a point of no return. Insistently, I can hear your voice: "Follow Me." Clearly, I can see your promise: "I will make you…" Help me to move forward in step with your will for my life.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- Part of a group of apartment buildings, abandoned by their owner and handed over to the federal Housing and Urban Development Department, are nearing a new life.
The nine buildings were the subject of HUD auctions, but there were no takers. When the City of Syracuse stepped in, it was able to sell the buildings to private developers, including Conifer Realty.
Conifer has bought four of the structures and has launched a $13 million rehabilitation program, designed to create about 90 homes for working families in the city.
"Conifer's mission with this revitalization goes beyond the bricks and sticks. For us, it's about being a good neighbor. And being a good neighbor to us means providing safe, decent, affordable housing for community residents so they can stay here in this neighborhood and call it home," said Timothy Fournier, Conifer Realty President.
The company hopes to have the projects open for use in about a year.

In some circumstances, the capability we specify / advertise of the product may not match that of the manufacturer's or other vendor's published specifications elsewhere, often due to international variations. Please therefore refer to our published specification on our own web site, and not those elsewhere. This may also apply to specifications listed within any packaging and user guide / manuals supplied which may not apply to your particular product, either due to product development, varying models, specification change or local variations. We cannot guarantee that the product will continue to work correctly during your ownership if your original environment changes, for example if your line, location or other hardware is altered (by you or a third party supplier) such that it is no longer compatible with the product.
Please be advised that for staff training purposes as well as your and our own security, we may record telephone calls to / from us and such recordings and emails may be supplied to law enforcement or anti-fraud agencies if required.

Although we endeavour to process, dispatch and delivery orders promptly, no absolute guarantee is given of any dispatch / delivery timescales. Where a premium service is requested (e.g. AM delivery or Saturday) our liability extends only to a refund of the premium should the delivery not be attempted during the time requested. Same-day dispatch is subject to the order being received earlier than that working day's 'cut-off' time but this may vary with workload or due to subcontractor / staff issues or around holiday periods. "Working day" is considered to be Monday to Friday, excluding holidays or any other day on which we are closed. Deliveries may be made any time between 8am and 6pm. Our standard delivery service covers most parts of mainland UK. It is essential that someone will be at the delivery address to receive and sign for the goods. It is vital that you provide the correct address, in as much detail as possible, including a complete postcode. If the address or postcode you give is incorrect or you request a re-routing from the original destination (via us or directly to the courier), you will be charged for the re-routing costs at our standard carriage rates.
Customers in the Highlands of Scotland may find that their deliveries take one extra working day to arrive. Note that cross-border shipments are subject to opening and inspection by customs authorities.

The trio of guitarists that make up the Hellecasters (Fairport Convention's Jerry Donahue, The Desert Rose Band's John Jorgenson, and session picker Will Ray) are all masters of the six-string sting. Their talents include firebrand flat-picking, cozy slide playing, nearly inhuman string-bending and the sort of finger-tapping histrionics that fueled many of Eddie Van Halen's solos. What makes their music unique is that the guitar isn't spotlit for a solo, it's the basis. And it's not one virtuoso, it's three, trading licks and prodding each other to ever greater heights.
The band's fourth album, their first for Hightone, continues their application of legendary playing to a broad array of originals and a cover of Noel Redding's "Little Miss Strange." The glee in their trio playing keeps this from being an academic exercise, though the constant onslaught of guitar pyrotechnics may be too intense for all but the guitar aficionado. As catchy as some of the melodies are, the laid-back, languorous solos are generally outweighed by dramatic, heavyweight playing. Sure to be a favorite of guitar fanatics.
3-1/2 stars, if Amazon allowed fractional ratings.

FDA Curbs One Class of Farm Drugs

More News: FDA Curbs One Class of Farm Drugs By Maryn McKenna Wired January 4, 2012 http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2012/01/fda-curbs-drugs/#more-91263 Here's a bookend to the Food and Drug Administration's disappointing Christmas Eve notice that it will cease trying to regulate the largest classes of growth- promoter antibiotics. Today, the agency announced that it is forbidding certain uses of a different class of drugs, cephalosporins. To those who are concerned about antibiotic overuse in agriculture, though, this is good news - though it may be more good news-bad news-bad news-good news. The dialectic looks like this: Good: The FDA is taking regulatory action, a strong contrast to the "voluntary reform" path it declared itself in favor of last week. Bad: The regulatory action is only partial - it covers only some "extra-label" uses of cephalosporins, though those are important - and is three years late. In 2008, the FDA promulgated and then withdrew a ban on all extra-label uses of cephalosporins; this replacement ban comes with exceptions. Bad: Cephalosporins are one of the least-used of the agricultural antibiotics. According to the FDA's Summary Report on Antimicrobials Sold or Distributed for Use in Food-Producing Animals, there were only 24,588 kilograms (54,207 pounds, or 27.1 tons) of cephalosporins used in food-producing animals in the US in 2010, compared to 5.6 million kilograms (12.3 million pounds, or 6,164 tons) of tetracyclines. Good: Cephalosporins are a critically important drug in human medicine, especially for kids. (One common cephalosporin is Keflex.) Because some classes of antibiotics aren't approved for pediatric use, the options for treating infections in children are more limited, and thus protecting the remaining drugs' usefulness is vital, as the American Academy of Pediatrics warned the FDA in 2007. In its Federal Register notice, the FDA said: "We are issuing this order based on evidence that certain extra- label uses of these drugs in these animals will likely cause an adverse event in humans and, therefore, present a risk to the public health." "I think this signals the FDA is very serious about antibiotic use in agriculture, since it started with one of the most important tools in the medicine chests of physicians," Laura Rogers, who is project director of the Pew Charitable Trusts' Campaign on Human Health and Industrial Farming, told me. She noted too that the FDA listened to concerns from the agricultural side by preserving some uses of cephalosporins, notably two drugs within the class - ceftiofur and cephapirin - to treat specific diseases including foot rot, metritis and staph mastitis in cattle. Just to be clear: Cephalosporins are not used as growth promoters, via feed (unlike the penicillins and tetracyclines in last week's notice). But they are used prophylactically, for disease prevention. For instance: The vast majority of the almost 9 billion broiler chickens raised in the US each year get a shot of a cephalosporin into their shells, to "reduce mortality" of newly hatched chicks. Under this order, that is an extra-label use and will be disallowed. The concern underlying this order is that when cephalosporins are used, they promote the emergence of cephalosporin-resistant bacteria that then go on to cause human disease. That was made very clear by very solid research from Canada (here's the 2009 paper and my post explaining it). When chickens in Quebec were raised with the use of cephalosporins, cephalosporin-resistant Salmonella emerged in chicken meat sold at retail, and also in people in the province - note, not people who had eaten the chicken that was tested. When Quebec enacted a ban on hatchery use of the drug, the incidence of resistant Salmonella crashed in both birds and humans. When - in an unfortunate natural experiment - the province reauthorized some uses, the rates in both chicken meat and humans began creeping up again. Campaigners against antibiotic overuse in agriculture want to stress the point that the resistant organisms didn't remain confined to the chickens. Once resistance DNA debuts in bacteria, it can move around freely to other foodstuffs, and even to other bacteria as well. Thus, as the Center for Science in the Public Interest pointed out today, there were five major outbreaks of foodborne, cephalosporin-resistant Salmonella in the US in the past decade, and none of them were caused by chicken. ___________________________________________ Portside aims to provide material of interest to people on the left that will help them to interpret the world and to change it.

+ - AMD Continues To Pressure NVIDIA With Lower Cost Radeon R9 270 and BF4 Bundle->
Link to Original Source
It's common for the National Guard in Venezuela to carry assault rifles even on urban duty, thus it was natural to have them there. Of course it's overkill, and given the historically high insecurity it's likely a crude attempt at making the city look safer.
And yes, the whole thing started because "the prices are too high" - words like "usury" and "speculation" are (mis)used to describe prices you don't like.
What about videos from random witnesses, and outrageous speech by Maduro himself? The "don't leave anything on the shelves" quote in TFS is there.
There's not unrest in the streets, but individual stores were looted in the first two days; there are pictures of people carrying even the demonstration TVs too quickly for the 3-4 cashiers present at these stores to have checked them out, in front of passive National Guards (who have also been photographed carrying merchandise in their patrol pick-up trucks). In the following days, other appliance stores haved cut their prices down to prevent similar incidents and queues have formed at their doors while the NG oversees the "controlled sales".
Some of these people are hoping to resell the goods for a bit of profit; others are just taking advantage of the "fire sale"; and yet others want to do *something* with their money before it loses value to the rampant inflation (54% over the last 12 months).
Many fell for Chávez et al.'s socialist act, especially since out there you don't have enough tidbits to glean and see their true colors: authoritarian, bald-faced liars, sore losers, sectarian... It's all been a gradual power grab with "boiled frog" written all over it.
But you cannae change the laws o' economics, and the whole farce was teetering before Chávez died (officially on March 5, but his voice hadn't been heard since early December). Maduro's ineptitude as a statesman is more evident than Chávez's only because of his frequent blunders (Bush 43 shines by comparison), but the collapse was a matter of time:
* Local production of goods has waned, in good part because of ridiculous controls and destructive expropriation of businesses, increasing the demand for foreign goods and the currency to buy them.
* Venezuela barely exports anything beyond oil and some steel.
* The state oil company was run into the ground by bad management and direct social spending (by presidential mandate); even less dollars coming in.
Venezuela owes some $215bn (60% of GNP), and Maduro had to go in person to China to negotiate the latest $5bn loan. 12-month inflation is 54%, likely to increase as December rolls in. Nope, not looking good.
Can any headline which ends in a question mark be answered by the word no?
Umm... no?
Wasn't it supposed to be Google's alternative? Was it too hard to adapt to mobile?
Yes, WIkipedia tells me that the Great Britain was floated out. It may have been the 1898 battleship HMS Albion, whose launching washed ~200 people standing on a rickety temporary "bridge" at a slipway on the opposite bank, of which 34 drowned.
Do you know anything about this "controlled launch by tether breaking"?
The headline reminded me of a story in a book of mine:
When Brunel's Ship the SS Great Britain was launched into the River Thames, it made such a splash that several spectators on the opposite bank were drowned. Nowadays, engineers reduce the force of entry into the water by rope tethers which are designed to break at carefully calculated intervals.
When the first computer came into operation in the Mathematisch Centrum in Amsterdam, one of the first tasks was to calculate the appropriate intervals and breaking strains of these tethers. In order to ensure the correctness of the program which did the calculations, the programmers were invited to watch the launching from the first row of the ceremonial viewing stand set up on the opposite bank. They accepted and they survived.
Very funny, and it's a matter of knowing when to stop complicating them and write a bit of code to help (eg switch statements).
That said, basic knowledge is sorely lacking among coders.
I believe the proper unit in this case is either earth-moon distances (33.3), or NYC-LA straight lines (3,265)
[Cue unoriginal, long-drawn Aerosmith "power" ballad]
Nice. Then the third link is related - the nanoparticles ease phase change at the microfluidics scale by adding nucleation sites, like boiling chips do at a larger scale.
As ridiculously shallow as the TFA is, there is some work on nanoparticle-liquid suspensions:
Nanoparticles in Thermoelectric Power Plant Cooling Fluids
Nanoparticle Additives Boost Industrial Cooling Systems (That Means Saving Energy)
I'll try to make sense of it (can someone more competent provide a Cliff's-notes version, please?).
Meanwhile, sorry to rain on the bash party.
Natural laws have no pity.

The search giant, bringing five Sparrow people in its Gmail team, reportedly paid less than $25 million for the company.
Google buys software maker Sparrow to help build its messaging capabilities. How the search giant will use its new technology is unclear.Representatives of small business, developing their self-titled third group of third party email clients for Mac OS X and Apple operating systems IOS, announced July 20 that Sparrow was bought by Google, and that employees were to join Google's Gmail.
"We care a lot about how people communicate, and we have done our best to provide the electronic experience more intuitive and enjoyable," said CEO Don Leca Sparrow in a brief note on the website the company. "We are joining the Gmail team to achieve a greater vision that we believe can best achieve with Google."
Leca did not specify what the vision is bigger. Sparrow has launched its first product in February 2011. No details about the sale were disclosed, but sources told the news site of the Verge of Google paid less than $ 25 million for the company of five people.
In a memo sent to reporters, a spokesman for Google also had few details on what the company hopes to do with Sparrow and technology. "Sparrow's team has always put its users first focuses on building a simple and intuitive interface seamlessly with your mail client," said the statement from Google. "We hope to bring on board Gmail team, where they will work on new projects."
According to Cnet, Leca sent an email to Sparrow customers saying they could still use all the applications currently using Sparrow, but do not expect new. "We will continue the provision of our existing products and provide support and critical updates to our users," he said in his e-mail. "However, as we will be busy with new projects from Google, it will not release new features for applications Sparrow."
Google already offers Gmail for the IOS, which offers users a number of characteristics, reading email and threaded conversations organize mail capabilities to bring important messages in a few addresses priority mail boxes Auto-complete and send and receive attachments. Google launched the application IOS end of last year, and updated in December 2011, giving users the ability to add a custom signature to text messages output.
In addition, an automatic response was added to the application, such as nested tags and the ability to draw or scribble a message on a "canvas" that can be attached to an e-mail. However, the application is not independent of the service users can not use Gmail. Apple, Apple Mail, which offers its IOS and Mac OS X, allowing users to access other services.

The UCL Cancer Institute is hosting a new series of Immunology Seminars aiming to showcase leading, cutting edge Immunology research to scientists across UCL and the Cancer institute.
The Cancer Institute has organised this seminar series with the specific goal of bringing together the immunology and cancer community in London in order to foster interaction, collaboration and to demonstrate, through cutting edge seminars, how the understanding of the basic principles governing the function of the immune system is fundamental to the development of novel and powerful cancer therapeutics.
In addition to meeting with Cancer Institute group leaders during the day, we have organised a "Lunch with the speaker" (for Postdocs and Students) to promote scientific discussion within our graduate and postdoctoral community.
Seminars will be held at 5 pm on the Courtyard Café of the Paul O'Gorman Building. A drinks reception will be held after each seminar.

ALBANY - Pat Populizio owns Taylor & Vadney Sporting Goods, where business was brisk on Christmas Eve.
One of their bestsellers has been the AR-15 rifle - a favorite among sportsmen.
While the AR-15 is similar to the M-16, the AR-15 is a semi-automatic weapon, where one pull of the trigger is needed to release each bullet.
The M-16, on the other hand, is an automatic weapon, meaning one pull fires multiple clips come out until the magazine is empty.
The Federal Assault Weapons Ban of 1994 limited some of the features found on the AR-15.
"Before the stock fold legally. Now it cannot," said Populizio. "A flash hider, which the AR-15 does not have, was made illegal after the ban."
While the ban expired in most parts of the country, it's remained in effect in New York State.
A background check is required to buy an AR-15 but no permit is required.
The AR-15 is in the spotlight after the Newtown massacre earlier this month, and Schaghticoke's murder-suicide on Sunday.
The popular rifle was used in both.
At Taylor & Vadney, the owner says he's removed a sign advertising the AR-15 out of respect for Sandy Hook victims.
After that tragedy, Governor Cuomo vowed to address what he calls significant loopholes in our state's gun laws.
A gun owner who only gave his first name, Jeff, says he doubts changes to gun laws will deter those determined to kill.
"If they can't get their hands on a weapon, they'll use the next thing on the list," Jeff said.
