The LANCE® Ultra Europium-anti-di-methyl-Histone H3 Lysine 36 (H3K36me2) antibody was used for the development and optimization of a JMJD2a demethylase assay using a biotinylated Histone H3 (21-44) peptide tri-methylated at lysine 36 as substrate. A technical note describing
the assay is available in our product literature.
Proven, cost-efficient LANCE Ultra reagents can be used to quantitate peptide modifications, detecting specific meythylation and acetylation states. No wash, homogenous LANCE Ultra reagents are HTS friendly - design your own epigenetics screening strategy for greatest efficiency.
Epigenetic enzymatic assays are optimized using a biotinylated histone H3-derived peptide as substrate. The modified peptide is captured by the Eu-labeled antibody (Ab) and ULight-Streptavidin (SA) which bring the Eu donor and ULight acceptor dye molecules into close proximity. Upon irradiation at 320 or 340 nm, the energy from the Eu donor is transferred to the ULight acceptor dye which, in turn, generates light at 665 nm. The intensity of the light emission is proportional to the level of biotinylated substrate modification.

text: Robert Ryan Article Preview for Tattoo Artist Magazine Issue #23 (Photos) Initiation: You enter the shop and auditory impressions hit you right away. The tattoo machine is humming it's in a distinct key, the sound you are hearing took a long time for the person who is using the machine to figure out how to perfect. A good tuned machine will resonate perfectly. No chatter or rattle just a smooth sounding electro-harmonic frequency. Years of technical information has been passed down to have this strange awkward device sound the way it does let alone perform such an complex task consistently. Then the visual impact hits you. You are bombarded by images, some familiar, some totally alien. The colors bouncing off one another, and the thousands of symbols, patterns and designs are overwhelming, yet highly interesting. A level of confusion and heightened visual intoxication can occur. We move on to the smell. A tattoo shop smells like one thing, a tattoo shop. The aroma of Green Soap is strong and distinct. You have a birth experience just walking through the door. Many come with a chosen design; others choose what the tattooer offers on his wall or books. In either instance the client is involved in a choice that is life altering if not only aesthetically, but socially. There is a harmonizing occurring in this process. The person must choose his mark. Some researched others instinctively. Albeit out of tradition, ignorance or necessity a permanent outcome will be the final. Ceremony: The customer is now led to the area where the ceremony will take place. The tattooer's room is usually an extension of himself. Totems and personal objects. Again if it's Buddhist thangka painting or a professional wrestling poster really makes no difference, in this observation! Much like most ceremonies before the actual event occurs pleasantries are exchanged, the customer or in this case initiate is made to feel comfortable and the stencil is applied. The tattooer and the customer come to an agreement. This is Key. A deep trust is brought into view. The tattoo begins. As in most religious rites the customer has to perform a austerity. They have to sit through what to some is the most painful experience they have yet to face. The customer leaves the tattooer in control of the process. The level of concentration is at its peak. The application is being conducted with electromagnetic energy. The ink being inscribed underneath the skin is organic in its nature usually prepared with extreme caution. Every single element involved in the process is essential and serves its own function. The tattooer and the customer share a very intense of exchange of energies, sometimes for many hours. In some instances the tattooer must remind the subject to breathe! Both work at a common goal of completion with as little trauma as possible. Upon completion the tattooer is paid for his services, the customer is given a marking that will outlast the spirit within the husk that he or she chose to adorn. The client is now tattooed. He spent a moment of his life, in what many seem to be a very abstract setting, to leave with a permanent badge that will bring fourth conversation, insight, judgment, alignment, attraction and repulsion for the extent of their lives. People complain all the time tattooing has lost its magic, yet I believe it is right in front of our faces. It's just clouded by our own judgment, negativity and lack of true understanding for what we really do.

A massive runaway star has been spotted by the Hubble Space Telescope racing away from its stellar nursery after being kicked out by some of its much heftier stellar siblings.
The homeless star is on the outer fringes of 30 Doradus Nebula — commonly known as the Tarantula Nebula — a teeming stellar breeding ground in the Milky Way's nearby galactic neighbor, the Large Magellanic Cloud.
The star, which is about 90 times as massive as our own sun, is racing through space at a speed of about 250,000 mph (400,000 kilometers per hour), a speed that would get you to the moon and back in about two hours.
Tantalizing clues from three observatories, including the Hubble Space Telescope's newly installed Cosmic Origins Spectrograph (COS), along with some old-fashioned detective work, suggest that the star may have traveled about 375 light-years from its suspected home — a giant star cluster called R136. (One light-year is the distance that light can travel in one year, about 6 trillion miles or 10 trillion kilometers.)
The finding is yet more evidence that the most massive stars in the local universe can be found in the Tarantula Nebula, making it a unique laboratory for studying heavyweight stars. R136 is nestled inside the Tarantula Nebula, which is located 170,000 light-years from Earth and contains several stars topping 100 solar masses each.
How massive clusters behave
The new observations offer insights into how massive star clusters behave.
"These results are of great interest because such dynamical processes in very dense, massive clusters have been predicted theoretically for some time, but this is the first direct observation of the process in such a region," said Nolan Walborn of the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, Md., and a member of the COS team that observed the misfit star.
Runaway stars can form in one of two ways. A star may encounter one or two heavier siblings in a massive, dense cluster and get booted out through a stellar game of pinball. Or a star may get a supercharged cosmic kick from a supernova explosion in a binary system, with the more massive star exploding first.
The first process is suspected to have sent this particular star packing.
"It is generally accepted, however, that R136 is young enough that the cluster's most massive stars have not yet exploded as supernovae," said COS team member Danny Lennon, also of the Space Telescope Science Institute. "This implies that the star must have been ejected through dynamical interaction."
Hot on the trail
Astronomers have been tracking this rogue star since 2006 when a team led by Ian Howarth of University College in London spotted it with the Anglo-Australian Telescope at the Siding Spring Observatory in Australia.
That observation revealed that the stellar misfit is an exceptionally hot, massive blue-white star that is relatively far from any cluster in which such stars are typically found.
Slideshow: Month in Space: January 2014 Hubble astronomers then picked up another clue when they used the star as a target to calibrate the COS instrument, which was installed on Hubble in May 2009 during final servicing mission to the joint NASA-European Space Agency space telescope.
It was those ultraviolet spectroscopic observations, performed in July 2009, which showed that the wayward star is unleashing a fury of charged particles in one of the most powerful stellar winds known, researchers said. That was a clear sign that it is extremely massive, perhaps as much as 90 times heavier than the sun, they added.
The star, therefore, also must be very young, about one million to two million years old, because extremely massive stars only live for a few million years, Hubble researchers said.
The new observations of the star are detailed in the May 5 online edition of The Astrophysical Journal Letters.
The renegade star may not be the only runaway in the region.
Two other extremely hot, massive stars have been spotted beyond the edges of the Tarantula Nebula. Astronomers suspect that these stars may also have been ejected from their home. They plan to analyze the departing stars in detail to determine if the nebula is unleashing a barrage of massive stellar runaways into its surrounding neighborhood.
Meanwhile, the wayward star R136 will continue to streak across space, said team member Paul Crowther of the University of Sheffield in England. It should eventually end its life in a titanic supernova explosion, likely leaving behind a remnant black hole, he added.

Riddle me this…
What *is* G.A.N.G. exactly? Who is "The GANG"?
To understand the spirit of the Geeky Antics Network Global (G.A.N.G.) initiative, it may be worth talking a bit about the origins of HorsePLAY! and how we have evolved. As we see it, HorsePLAY! is one of many brands and communities we will use to expand the network. We love teaming up with other podcasters, geeks, and content marketers..
…But, anyway, origins…
When Obi and I first started HorsePLAY! LIVE, it was three of us crazy geeks talking video games (we miss ya Soldierism), technology, and whatever else happened to tickle our fancies at the time. We had a very heavy focus on PC gaming, indie games, and MOBAs (League of Legends in particular). We're still a very young podcast but in our few months of doing this together, we've evolved quite a bit. Now, HorsePLAY! is more about digital entertainment as a whole and we certainly have other defining elements in comedy, news, etc.
The beauty of starting any content is that you can run with a very vague idea and build upon it as you go along.; in fact, it's best to just jump right in and not just over-think things into paralysis. As we do more HorsePLAY! episodes, our general ideas get more refined. We like to keep our content as raw and gritty as possible, yet we have a very deliberate direction for HorsePLAY! and GANG alike.
Don't be afraid to dive in – the GANG is here for you!
It's hard to describe what HorsePLAY! is in terms of categories (maybe you can help us when conclude this article) and main themes but we certainly know what we want to be in everyone's minds. In simple terms, we see HorsePLAY! as a community platform for geeks to collaborate, laugh, and just hang out. That's exactly what GANG is being built for as well.
HorsePLAY! LIVE has evolved to become the primary podcast platform for Geeky Antics. It is an interactive show focused on cross-promotion and community engagement, just like the rest of the GANG.
Certainly, there are tons of networks out there taking the gaming or geeky angle. Geek & Sundry, AllGames (one of our unofficial partners), PodGods, and VOG (Voice of Geek) come to mind. These are all networks we love yet they are missing a few things. These are the opportunities the major networks miss and we'd like to capitalize on:
- Creating systems to make it easier for people with great ideas to produce great content.
- Delivering multi-language content around the world.
- Building communities that are just as much a part of the creative process as the authors, producers, and hosts.
- Collaborating with geeks that have the same passion and goals we do here on GANG.
- Fostering a team spirit while allowing everyone to express themselves freely and authentically.
- Liberating content marketers so that they can have fun – for the first time or all over again!
The last two items are particularly important to us. All the big networks do a good job of branding and spreading influence; however, the individual contributors usually get the worst part of the deal. We want to guide creatives and geeks through the processes of content marketing while allowing as much freedom as possible to our contributors. We don't want anyone to feel trapped or restricted while we provide such guidance.
GANG provides the tools, experience, and people to foster an environment of collaboration, fun, and results. It's a team effort – for REAL!
All GANG team members and contributors have the option of producing exclusive content or syndicating. Regardless of the path chosen, we want this network to feel more like a family or, better yet, gathering place for friends and family. We're willing to give almost anyone a chance. The only real rule is this: don't be an asshat and please check your ego at the door.
Of course, things get tricky when monetization is involved. Everyone has bills to pay and nothing is truly free so we have plans for revenue sharing and building capital. Now, we recognize there is a fine line between sustainability/profit and selling out. Our hope is that we can stay authentic and have fun doing what we're passionate, while being profitable. It's a tall order but we know it can be done.
Another major pitfall we want to avoid is become elitist or too exclusive. We've found that many outlets refuse to give people a chance yet everyone has to start somewhere. Whereas most media networks/empires pursue established personalities to siphen some of their audience, we want to create mutually-beneficial scenarios where audiences, creatives, and platforms all win (win-win-win's, as I like to call them). Establishing a good balance between being professional and casual will be a challenge in itself.
Whereas most media networks pursue established personalities to siphen some of their audience, we want to create win-win-win scenarios.
If you believe in team spirit and are tired of the politics in major media networks, GANG is the place for you. We can't promise that we will never employ ads, microtransactions, or anything of the sort but we can promise that the art comes first. That said, donations and volunteering will be a big part of our sustainability and growth. Fundraisers are definitely on the horizon. Believe me, every contribution (creative, financial, or otherwise) goes a long way for our collective success.
So that there is our GANG manifesto. We know the specifics will become more clear as we grow our team and release more great content. Thus far, the response has been amazing. The support we have been getting has made the process far less daunting so we truly appreciate all the folks volunteering and rallying for us.
Now it's time to introduce our team so far because a network, or any organization at that, is nothing without the right people supporting it. First, James Tarr, better known to HorsePLAY! fans as ObioneX2 (or just plain Obi), is a growing personality on Twitch. These days he is heavily into Arma 2 but he has also been hardcore into League of Legends, War Thunder, Hearthstone, Battlefield 4, Day-Z, and other PC games. Obi specializes in video production, particularly when it comes to livestreaming, which involves a balance of community engagement, overlay/scene design, and scheduling. His knowledge in these areas will help us establish the production value and timing necessary to create and build audiences in what are otherwise very crowded spaces.
Now for Mr. Ellis! Dakota Ellis has gone by many names, including DingleDorf and Asmodeus. He is a long-time clanmate – GO NOF – and friend. Kota is pretty new to online marketing but has been involved in forums, Twitter, Facebook groups/pages, mailing lists, and other projects. He's also been a moderator and community liaison for small games like ARC/Spark and Babo. Our hopes are to groom him as a social media specialist so he can help us curate content and sustain our various engagement paths (or marketing channels, if you prefer).
Next up is James Fortengard, known by AllGamers as Yuri or Fort. James has quite the impressive resume, which boasts the ability to speak many languages and vast knowledge of comics, anime, film, video games, and more. Like many lesser-known online personalities, Fort never quite got the chance to strut his stuff on an established platform or network. He's a tough cookie with strong opinions so we're excited to see what we he can do once he is given a chance to do his thang. We already have several concepts for shows/podcasts so expect some new exclusives soon!
Then there's Matt Bradford (@MattoMcFly on Twitter), who has confirmed interest in joining GANG but is super-duper busy (we understand, buddy). He's currently busy with Guiness World Records, VGO (VideoGameOutsiders), AllGames Network, Games Radar, and Zombie Cast so he'll be a guest host and blog contributor until we can all seduce him to stay for the long haul. Please show Matt and the rest of the team some love, guys!
Finally, there's Andy Fewtrell a.k.a. Spathizilla, who works tirelessly to make sure servers are secure and up around the clock. He's one of my oldest friends and one of the few people I can truly say I trust completely and consider a brother. I mean, that's not to diminish everyone else's efforts but this guy puts in the time and money, whereas most will just make promises and never follow through. He's a guy that you can count on.. And it helps that he's from England and has the awesome accent! Really, he needs to lend that to our podcasts (one day, we hope)!
But wait – there's MORE! The GANG is the entire community over at GeekyAntics.. That includes YOU! Yes, all you awesome folks who donate, share, comment, listen, view, chat, etc. There is no us with you soooo.. Thanks for being YOU!
So that's our team so far. We hope to introduce our new GANGsters as HorsePLAY! guests but, for now, expect some blog contributions here soon enough. Before we close out this GANG manifesto, I wanted to involve you all in the evolution of HorsePLAY! since it is our flagship show. Take the poll below and leave some comments. Let us know what your impressions of HorsePLAY! are so far. This feedback will help us produce even better content. Keep it positive and constructive. We will not feed trolls! *wink*

ONARCHITECTURE- Belmont Hall: Beta House revisited in Preston fight
In April, in the wake of a landmark demolition and after reviewing more than a hundred potentially historic and architecturally significant properties, the Charlottesville Board of Architectural Review recommended to City Council that 12 receive special protection from demolition and development. Now, it appears that one of those properties may be lost before City Council has had a chance to rubber stamp the list.
The International Order of Good Templars building, a.k.a. Belmont Hall, located at 603 Dale Avenue (behind the Preston Avenue Shell Station near the railroad bridge), ranks number 7 on the list, which was whittled down to 10 by the Charlottesville Planning Commission on June 10. The large, four-chimney building has been boarded up for some time, but originally it was a fraternal meeting hall, most likely modeled on the Freemasons and committed to temperance or total abstinence from alcohol.
According to UVA architectural historian Daniel Bluestone, the organization was founded in the 1850s and admitted men, women, and all races equally, but was torn apart after the Civil War by efforts to permit separate white and black lodges in the south.
"The building dates from the last quarter of the 19th century," adds architectural historian Aaron Wunsch, who recommended the building for protection after noticing it last November. Wunsch was impressed by what he calls "the last architectural reminder that workers at the nearby silk mill had a social life beyond the factory."
Council's move would come on the heels of the loss of the Compton House (a.k.a Beta House), demolished December 27 by VMDO Architects and the Jefferson Scholars Foundation to make way for a new $21 million headquarters. Preservationists and several City Councilors decried the destruction of the former residence and frat house designed by Eugene Bradbury, and their dismay set in motion an effort to save other historic structures.
Council is expected to approve the list sometime this summer, but the owner of 603 Dale Avenue, developer and builder Paul Beyer, has already applied for a demolition permit– and he appears ready to do battle with the City if he isn't allowed to take it down.
Technically, as the zoning now stands, Beyer has the right to demolish his building. However, as the City indicated after the Beta House fight, it wants to give these new designations teeth. Unlike past must-save lists, which were made with permission of the owner, the City has said it wants to enforce these designations in an effort to prevent another Beta House scenario.
For Beyer, that sounds like robbery.
"I have significant funds invested in the properties," says Beyer, who also wants to demo nearby 615 Dale Avenue. "An historic designation would strip them of much, if not all, of their value."
In a recent letter to the Planning Commission, Beyer points out that that area of Preston is zoned mixed use/industrial, which means he could build a multi-story building on the site. Historic designation in that area of Preston, he says, could literally take millions out of the hands of developers.
"More importantly," he writes, "it would condemn a section of the city (that the City is trying to re-develop) to continued nuisances and substandard living conditions."
Beyer notes that his building was actually condemned by the City (and, indeed, City housing inspector Patricia Carrington says the house was deemed unsafe by the City on June 2 and boarded up) before it was recommended for special protection, and has become a magnet for vagrants. Beyer says the last time he visited the property, he saw a man– who apparently feared he was law enforcement– leaping from a second story window.
"It is a nightmare situation," says Beyer. "I'm told by the City Inspectors that the Police are called frequently to the site by the concerned neighbors who live next door. It is probably a nightmare situation for them, too."
Indeed, efforts to preserve older buildings, however noble in principle, can often lead to preserving an eye-sore. Developer Keith Woodard's properties on our own exalted Downtown Mall, the row of decrepit buildings on the corner of First and Main, have been boarded up for years, as efforts on Woodard's part to develop the properties have been thwarted, in large part, by city preservation efforts.
As the city moves forward with these latest designations, it appears that Beyer isn't the only upset property owner. In a staff report to the Planning Commission, City preservation planner Mary Joy Scala says that a majority of the property owners on the list are "opposed to the designation."
In fact, one property owner who would seem to have everything to gain from a historic designation actually called it a "taking" of property rights.
"Now, we have the freedom to judge for ourselves what's best for the club," Ed Gillaspie, president of the Fry's Springs Beach Club, a not-for-profit club along Old Lynchburg Road that was originally built as a hotel resort in 1890, told the Hook in April. The designation changes that. "We'll have to give up our ability to control the property to a governmental entity," Gillaspie said. "That bothers me. I see that as a taking away of our rights."
For preservationists, however, it's a way of saving our history as properties pass from owner to owner.
"What's needed is an automatic demolition review for buildings over a given age... perhaps 50 years," says Wunsch. "Until that happens, this story... and that of the Beta House... is bound to keep repeating itself."
1 comment
If the city is going to enforce an histioric designation status, essentially prohibiting progress, they need to back it up. Put their money where their mouth is, if you will. This can come to fruition by several methods, two that come to mind are either buying the property for themselves, the city of Charlottesville, or, potentially a better solution, one which other cities offer, is to offer serious grants/funding for the property owners to restore, refurbish, and renovate, rather than tear down. What people fail to recognize is that restoration is an extremely costly effort, with unpredictable results. Further, if the city/community has already let a building slip into decay, they've essentially lost all rights to a credible opinion. So if the city wants to come out looking like they actually care, they need to do more.

A 12-year-old boy carried his grandmother to safety after a propane heater exploded in their home and started a fire on Friday.
Seth Cutright said he smelled the leaking gas just before his grandmother, Rose Cutright, lit a cigarette and their home exploded in flames.
"It was like 'boom.' A flash before your eyes," said Seth.
The fire broke out just before 3 p.m.
Seth and Rose were the only family members home during the explosion and fire.
"My grandma was on fire," he said. "Not completely on fire, just a little bit. Then when I was walking, it went out. I carried her outside and set her on the ground. I went to the next-door neighbor's and said call the ambulance."
The two are recovering at the Oregon Burn Center in Portland.
"I love you. I'm proud of you. You're my hero," Seth's father, Roger Cutright, said to his son.
Seth and Roger Cutright said they wanted to talk about the fire on TV because they are so grateful for the doctors at the burn center.
It took about three hours for firefighters to get the fire under control. They were able to save several cats and some chickens.
The Red Cross is helping the Cutright family.

Northumberland Collection Services – Woodhorn
My first attempt to dig out information other than on the internet was a trip to Woodhorn Archives near Ashington at Easter. I had help from another family member, Karen, on my first trip and we turned up a couple of gems including the missing name for one of my Granda Crackett's siblings. I have been back several times and have found a lot of useful leads. Since Woodhorn has responsibility for the county archives there is a formal registration system to gain access, so if you are a first time visitor remember to take some official identification.
Northumberland and Durham Family History Society
I have had one trip to NDFHS at Bolbec Hall in Newcastle. Very different sort of place to Woodhorn. Run by volunteers and much more informal. NDFHS is a good place to trawl through record indexes on microfiche, but to see copies of the records on microfilm you have to go to Woodhorn. Interesting library of old books at NDFHS too and some useful information from their churchyard visits.

In this week's That Thing You Missed NBA players read mean Tweets about themselves, get behind the scenes info from the infamous 'Malice at the Palace' brawl, Ochocinco's butt slap lands him in the slammer and you'll read probably the least intelligent and most dangerous statement a married athlete can make.
Wedding Dumb Bells?
This week the Boston Bruins' Shawn Thornton told a reporter he puts his two Stanley Cup Wins on the list of all-time greatest days of his life. Missing from that list? The day he married his wife.
Now, I often say NHL players are the toughest athletes in professional sports. I never say they are the brightest.
And since we're on the topic of not-so-bright athletes…
You NBA fans may recall the infamous night at the Palace of Auburn Hills just outside of Detroit in 2004 when the Pistons got into a brawl with the Indiana Pacers.
What started as an on-court melee ended up in the stands with Pacers players Ron Artest (now known as Metta World Peace) and Stephen Jackson getting physical with some fans.
Coined 'Malice at the Palace' it's by far considered the most massive fight in professional basketball history.
According to Jackson, when they got back into the locker room Artest looked at him and asked. "Do you think we're gonna get in trouble?"
Nine players were suspended for a total of nearly 150 games, resulting in over $10 million in lost pay.
Do you think Jackson regrets his actions?
Click on the below link to find out how he fells about slugging a fan. His answer just may surprise you!
Fans and professional sports figures can often have contentious relationships. So it was only natural that Jimmy Kimmel produced an NBA version of his feature Mean Tweets where celebs read nasty tweets about themselves sent in by fans.
My life will never be quite the same.
Witnessing the moment Rajon Rodon realizes he DOES look exactly like Franklin the Turtle on Nick Jr. is priceless.
On the other hand, the Tweet Bob Costas reads is not even close to the meanest Tweet someone could write. I've just written like ten in my head right now and those are just the ones about how short he is.
I've been a diehard Mets' fan for nearly four decades and I can say with unwavering certainty that we need one of those at CitiField.
Chad Johnson aka Chad Ochocinco was sentenced to 30 days in jail for violating probation in a domestic violence case where he allegedly head butted his then-wife, TV reality star Evelyn Lozada.
A plea deal had been reached so Johnson could avoid jail time. Well, that was until he slapped his attorney on the butt during the courtroom proceeding.
If you watch the video you'll see the bailiff obviously found it hysterical. The judge, however, did not. She rejected the agreed upon plea deal, sentencing Johnson instead to 30 days in jail.
How lucky is Casey Anthony that she didn't draw that judge?
Some folks think the judge was too harsh. I, however, think Johnson slapping his attorney in the courtroom is akin to Lindsay Lohan snorting a line of cocaine off her lawyer's stomach during one of her judicial proceedings.
Only, something tells me Lohan would still somehow manage to escape jail time.
Now, here's an update: Johnson apologized to the judge and has been released! Now, that's a "LiLo" more like it!
I want to hear from you! Got a fun story sports fans may have missed? Or an obscure, silly and perhaps gossipy tale we didn't cover? E-mail Tara Lipinsky at email@example.com or send me a Tweet @TaraLipinsky.
