The ENCODE project's goal is to provide the scientific community with information they need to better understand the role that the genome plays in health and disease.
September 24, 2012: NIH launches Phase I clinical trial for rare degenerative muscle disease treatment Last week, researchers launched a Phase I clinical trial to evaluate the drug candidate DEX-M74 as a treatment for patients suffering from Hereditary Inclusion Body Myopathy (HIBM), a rare degenerative muscle disease. National Institutes of Health (NIH) scientists from the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) and the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) will conduct the clinical trial at the NIH Clinical Center.
September 23, 2012: Study reveals genomic similarities between breast cancer and ovarian cancers One subtype of breast cancer shares many genetic features with high-grade serous ovarian cancer, a cancer that is very difficult to treat, according to researchers supported by the National Institutes of Health. The findings suggest that the two cancers are of similar molecular origin, which may facilitate the comparison of therapeutic data for subtypes of breast and ovarian cancers and was a collaborative effort funded by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), both part of NIH. It was published online Sept. 23, 2012, in the journal Nature.
September 14, 2012: New NIH/NHGRI grants to harness nanoscale technologies to cut DNA sequencing costs Grants of almost $19 million will help to develop technologies to dramatically reduce the cost of DNA sequencing, the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), announced today. Currently, the cost of sequencing a human genome using next-generation DNA sequencing technologies has dipped to just under $8,000.
September 11, 2012: NIH researchers restore children's immune systems with refinements in gene therapy Researchers have demonstrated for the first time that a refined gene therapy approach safely restores the immune systems of some children with severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID). The rare condition blocks the normal development of a newborn's immune system, leaving the child susceptible to every passing microbe. Children with SCID experience chronic infections, which usually triggers the diagnosis. Their lifespan is two years if doctors cannot restore their immunity. The findings from facilities including the National Institutes of Health, the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), and the Children's Hospital Los Angeles, are reported in the Aug. 30, 2012, advanced online issue of the journal Blood.
September 10, 2012: NHGRI reorganized to meet expanding research mission The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) will complete a major reorganization to accommodate broad changes in its mission, Eric D. Green, M.D., Ph.D., NHGRI's director, announced today. The reorganization will become effective on Oct. 1, 2012, the start of the 2013 fiscal year. The reorganization includes dividing the institute's Extramural Research Program into four new divisions and promoting to division status the office overseeing policy, communications, and education, and the office overseeing administration and management.
September 9, 2012: TCGA discovers potential therapeutic targets for lung squamous cell carcinoma
Researchers have identified potential therapeutic targets in lung squamous cell carcinoma, the second most common form of lung cancer. The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) Research Network study that appeared online Sept. 9, 2012, and in print Sept. 27, 2012, in the journal Nature, comprehensively characterized the lung squamous cell carcinoma genome. The study found a large number and variety of DNA alterations, many of which seem to be driving forces behind pathways that are important to the initiation and progression of lung cancer. TCGA is jointly funded and managed by the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) and the National Cancer Institute (NCI), both part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
September 5, 2012: ENCODE data describes function of human genome After a multi-year concerted effort by more than 440 researchers in 32 labs around the world called ENCODE (The Encyclopedia of DNA Elements), researchers have produced a more dynamic picture of the human genome that gives the first holistic view of how the human genome actually does its job. During the new study, researchers linked more than 80 percent of the human genome sequence to a specific biological function and mapped more than 4 million regulatory regions where proteins specifically interact with the DNA. These findings represent a significant advance in understanding the precise and complex controls over the expression of genetic information within a cell. The findings are reported in two papers appearing in the Sept. 5 online issue of Nature.
August 22, 2012: NIH uses genome sequencing to help quell bacterial outbreak in Clinical Center For six months last year, a deadly outbreak of antibiotic-resistant bacteria kept infection-control specialists at the National Institutes of Health's (NIH) Clinical Center in a state of high alert. A New York City patient carrying a multi-drug resistant strain of Klebsiella pneumoniae, a microbe frequently associated with hospital-borne infections, introduced the dangerous bacteria into the 243-bed research hospital while participating in a clinical study in the summer of 2011. K. pneumoniae began to spread to other Clinical Center patients at the alarming rate of one a week. Clinical Center staff collaborated with investigators at the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), also part of NIH, to use genome sequencing to learn how the microbe spread. A report in the Aug. 22, 2012, early online edition of Science Translational Medicine describes how that collaboration helped quell the outbreak.
August 9, 2012: NIH seeks applications to study genomic sequencing in newborn period The National Institutes of Health is seeking applications for research projects on the implications of information obtained from sequencing the genome to identify diseases in newborns. The intent of funding such projects is to further the understanding of disorders that appear during the newborn period and to improve treatments for these diseases.
July 26, 2012: Media Availability: NIH team describes protective role of skin microbiotaA research team at the National Institutes of Health has found that bacteria that normally live in the skin may help protect the body from infection. Although immune cells in the skin protect against harmful organisms, until now, it has not been known if the millions of naturally occurring commensal bacteria in the skin — collectively known as the skin microbiota — also have a beneficial role. Using mouse models, the NIH team observed that commensals contribute to protective immunity by interacting with the immune cells in the skin. Their findings appear online on July 26th in Science. The authors of the paper are available for interviews.
July 18, 2012: Study shows colon and rectal tumors constitute a single type of cancer The pattern of genomic alterations in colon and rectal tissues is the same regardless of anatomic location or origin within the colon or the rectum, leading researchers to conclude that these two cancer types can be grouped as one, according to The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) project's large-scale study of colon and rectal cancer tissue specimens.
June 13, 2012: NIH Human Microbiome Project defines normal bacterial makeup of the body Microbes inhabit just about every part of the human body, living on the skin, in the gut, and up the nose. Sometimes they cause sickness, but most of the time, microorganisms live in harmony with their human hosts, providing vital functions essential for human survival. For the first time, a consortium of researchers organized by the National Institutes of Health has mapped the normal microbial make-up of healthy humans, producing numerous insights and even a few surprises.
June 12, 2012: Young patients benefit from collaboration between NIH and Children's National Medical CenterA new agreement to collaborate on clinical research studies involving young children will encourage greater insight into early origin and development of disease and discovery of new treatments for rare disorders. The Translational Research in Pediatrics Program is a joint effort from the National Institutes of Health and the NIH Clinical Center, both in Bethesda, Md., and Children's National Medical Center in Washington, D.C. The clinical expertise and infrastructure of Children's National to support a very young patient population and the state-of-the-art research facilities at the NIH Clinical Center will allow investigators to develop new studies addressing rare conditions at an earlier age.
May 30, 2012: Odds of quitting smoking affected by geneticsGenetics can help determine whether a person is likely to quit smoking on his or her own or need medication to improve the chances of success, according to research published in today's American Journal of Psychiatry. Researchers say the study moves health care providers a step closer to one day providing more individualized treatment plans to help patients quit smoking.
May 21, 2012: NHGRI collaborates with Smithsonian to produce new genome exhibitTo celebrate the 10th anniversary of researchers producing the first complete human genome sequence — the genetic blueprint of the human body — the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C., will open a high-tech, high-intensity exhibition in 2013. The exhibition will result from a collaboration of the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History (NMNH) and the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) of the National Institutes of Health.
May 17, 2012: NIH-led study finds genetic test results do not trigger increased use of health servicesPeople have increasing opportunities to participate in genetic testing that can indicate their range of risk for developing a disease. Receiving these results does not appreciably drive up or diminish test recipients' demand for potentially costly follow-up health services, according to a study performed by researchers at the National Institutes of Health and colleagues at other institutions. The study in the May 17, 2012 early online issue of Genetics in Medicine was done by investigators with the Multiplex Initiative, a multi-center collaborative initiative involving investigators from the National Institutes of Health's Intramural Research Program, Group Health Cooperative in Seattle, and the Henry Ford Health System in Detroit.
May 6, 2012: Scientists find that chromosomal abnormalities are associated with aging and cancer Two new studies have found that large structural abnormalities in chromosomes, some of which have been associated with increased risk of cancer, can be detected in a small fraction of people without a prior history of cancer. The studies found that these alterations in chromosomes appear to increase with age, particularly after the age of 50, and may be associated with an increased risk for cancer. The results of the studies were published online May 6, 2012, in Nature Genetics.
April 25, 2012: NHGRI to develop revolutionary technologies for exploring genome function The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), part of the National Institutes of Health, has awarded 10 grants, totaling $10.5 million, to develop revolutionary technologies that will help researchers identify millions of genomic elements that play a role in determining what genes are expressed and at what levels in different cells. These multi-year grants are part of the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) project, whose aim is to provide the scientific community with a comprehensive catalog of functional genomic elements that will ultimately help explain the role that the genome plays in health and disease.
March 29, 2012: 1000 Genomes Project data available on Amazon Cloud The world's largest set of data on human genetic variation — produced by the international 1000 Genomes Project — is now publicly available on the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and AWS jointly announced today. The public-private collaboration demonstrates the kind of solutions that may emerge from the Big Data Research and Development Initiative announced today by the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) during an event at the American Association for the Advancement of Science in Washington, D.C.
March 28, 2012: Researchers identify genetic basis of tropical foot and leg lymphedema Researchers think they know why some 4 million people in at least 10 countries worldwide develop podoconiosis or 'mossy foot'.One-fifth carry genetic variants that cause their immune system to react to the volcanic dust on their farms. The disease-producing response is triggered by exposure from the lack of shoes, The March 29, 2012 New England Journal of Medicine, published the international team study.
January 11, 2012: NIH Scientists Find Cause of Rare Immune Disease
Investigators at the National Institutes of Health have identified a genetic mutation in three unrelated families that causes a rare immune disorder characterized by excessive and impaired immune function. Symptoms of this condition include immune deficiency, autoimmunity, inflammatory skin disorders and cold-induced hives, a condition known as cold urticaria. The study was led by Joshua Milner, M.D., in the Laboratory of Allergic Diseases at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), and Daniel Kastner, M.D., Ph.D., scientific director at the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI). It appears in the online edition of the New England Journal of Medicine on Jan. 11, 2012.

Pratt & Whitney, IHI Celebrate 2 Million Flight Hours with Japan Air Self Defense Forces
Pratt & Whitney has reached more than 33 years of flying F100 engines with the Japan Self Defense Forces (JSDF), which equates to approximately 2 million flight hours. In late 1975, the JSDF selected the F-15, powered by Pratt & Whitney F100-100 engines, to serve as their new air self-defense fighter. Pratt & Whitney is a United Technologies Corp. (NYSE:UTX) company.
"Pratt & Whitney has provided reliable and affordable engines for the JSDF for many years," said Bennett Croswell, president, Pratt & Whitney Military Engines. "We are very happy to have powered the JASDF F-15 fleet to this 2 million flight-hour milestone, and we look forward to powering many more milestones for the fleet. We are in the middle of our journey together with the F100, and we're looking forward to beginning another journey with the next generation F135 engine and the F-35 Lightning II."
Production took place at IHI Corporation in Japan, and in 1981 the first batch of aircraft and engines entered into service with the Japan Air Self Defense (JASDF), a branch of the JSDF. This marked the first of many aircraft and engines that would be delivered over the next several decades. In fact, the first engine, which powered the F-15J, was delivered by a Kawasaki C-1 powered by the Pratt & Whitney JT8D engine. By the time production was completed in 1999, more than 200 F-15J aircraft and more than 400 F100 engines were built in Japan.
In Japan, IHI is the primary contractor and manufacturer for the aircraft engines used by the Japan Ministry of Defense and participates in international collaborative projects that develop and supply various market segments, from very large to small engines for civilian aircraft. In November 2013, IHI signed a contract with Pratt & Whitney to qualify components for the Japanese fleet of F135 engines that power the fifth generation F-35 Lightning II, and both companies are working on a series of industrial participation stand-up contracts for addition F135 capability and in-country F135 final assembly.
Pratt & Whitney is a world leader in the design, manufacture and service of aircraft engines, auxiliary and ground power units and small turbojet propulsion products. United Technologies Corporation, based in Hartford, Conn., is a diversified company providing high technology products and services to the global aerospace and building industries. To learn more about UTC, visit www.utc.com or follow the company on Twitter: @UTC.
This press release contains forward-looking statements concerning future business opportunities. Actual results may differ materially from those projected as a result of certain risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to changes in government procurement priorities and practices, budget plans and availability of funding, and in the number of aircraft to be built; challenges in the design, development, production and support of advanced technologies; as well as other risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to those detailed from time to time in the company's Securities and Exchange Commission filings.

WARNING: You are now running on reserve empathy power. Please connect your heart to a power source.
In this past year alone, we have seen unprecedented tragedies from Haiti to Chile to Pakistan to Egypt, Libya, Ivory Coast, and the Gulf of Mexico to Japan. I can't handle it anymore. I don't have any empathy left. I feel like a computer with its battery shutting down.
All of my talents and passions are worthless if there isn't empathy in my heart. It is empathy that will give me the power to continue on. There appears to be no power outlet in sight to recharge my fatigued heart.

Well, I am not half way through it yet, but the screenshots are piling up, and picking just 5 for Z and Cinder's Blog Challenge sure is difficult – and it runs until tomorrow, so I best tackle this now!
"First impressions count and a new expansion brings a host of new zones to explore and new NPCs to meet. Come and share your first impressions or favourite locations you find over the first fortnight of playing by showing us your favourite 5 (or more if you can't choose) screenshots."
Okay. 5 screenshots. Five.
Let's see now…
These quests were hilarious. I love all the new looks of NPCs, how they can lean, carry things and what not. And +Flynn drunk, hah.
This made me laugh out loud. Why is he sitting on such a small chair? I could hardly see him when I entered the room, lol.
This guy obviously hates his job. That finger drumming on the table and lost look in his eyes. It's the postal office.
Too Cute. Must be in the post.
That's 5 already? Okay, I can't do it, I tried, but no, it's too hard, sorry!
Funny reference to Lord of the Rings 🙂 (Right?)
This I really like. A soaking wet bear seeking shelter in a cave, while it rains.
Too. Funny. 😀
I cherish all these things that puts a smile on my face.

I took this screenshot, because at this exact location, the music Jaina´s Homeland is playing. I love that piece.
I just finished watching the movies The Shallows and 47 Meters Down- so this scared me!
Such a great update to the horse model. I brought out my old Pinto for comparison. I wonder if they will get updated as well?
More cutscenes. Much love for those. Look, there's me!
So good lookin'! I want to be able to have our characters pose like that. The models are in the game now. So why can't we?
Spooooky underwater rare mob.
These boat rides. I love those. They make me slow down. If they added that calming sound of the ocean, it would be perfect.
That view from that mountain I had to climb.
When can I have this pet?
I like all the added dialogue options with NPCs. Even when I bore them, apparently!
How awesome to see a witch like that in WoW!
One of my favorite parts of Battle for Azeroth is helping those you pass by. Those side quests. It makes me feel as if I am back in Duskwood, just a traveller passing by, instead of the all mighty ArchDruid that everyone needs.
Merciful Elune, please bless the fallen.
I had to cut this quite small, but it's the bear and dog crew together. Too important to miss.
I adore horses. And the new model in WoW is gorgeous, I think.
A mage buffed me!
That new dance looks so great too. When can I do that!?
Size does not matter.
Helping this guy overcome his fear of riding? Top 10 quest material 🙂
Underwater breathing buff on an Orca…
A dear friend gave me this. A mount I didn't know existed, to keep me company until we meet again. Sweet, adorable and cherished gift ♥
One of my best action shots yet! Jumping Bear vs. Parrot? (The space bar is the first one to go on my keyboard)
I saved this one.
My favorite screenshot
This. I love how this turned out.
What a journey. Half way through Tiragarde Sound and halfway though level 112. So much to look forward to in Kul Tiras.

We've all committed open-water swimming sins. And no, that doesn't mean the undignified fisticuffs at the start of a race, but offences that are entirely our own fault: aiming for a swan instead of a buoy; forgetting everything we know about technique as soon as the wetsuit goes on; or starting too fast and finding after 50m that we're unable to catch our breath. You can easily avoid such mistakes by practising these pool-based sessions.
Jump in
"As land-based animals, it's unnatural for us to swim, so the more familiar you can become with water the better," says Team GB swimming coach Sean Kelly. Using one or two of your swimming sessions every week as recovery time after bike and run sessions will teach you to swim efficiently and, of course, the more time you spend in the pool the more confident you'll become. "Aim to make the swim as easy as possible," he says.
Try this now: Don't focus on how fast you swim, but how much effort you put in. "If your time for 1500m is 30 minutes, but you can make the swim easier on yourself, you will benefit during the bike and run legs," says Kelly.
Energy efficiency
The next step to swimming more efficiently is lowering the number of strokes you take per length. "Take as few strokes as you can and use your legs as little as possible," says Kelly. "Try to glide on each arm and think about the forces that are hitting you from the front. As you move through the water, make as small a hole as possible by stretching out and staying streamlined."
Try this now: Count your strokes every length and become familiar with how your most efficient pace feels so you can transfer it to the open water at your next race.
And relax
Staying relaxed is another useful technique in your bid to become an efficient swimmer. "If you look around any pool, you can spot people who are nervous and uptight when they're swimming: they will be grimacing," says Kelly. The result is that the muscles in the face, neck and shoulders tense up and stroke efficiency plummets.
Try this now: Smiling is a great way to release tension, so the next time you're in the pool, grin (not to the extent that you look loopy) and relax your face, neck and hands as much as possible.
Breathe easy
If you're struggling to inhale enough oxygen to power your working muscles, you're probably not exhaling properly. "It's vital that you breathe out forcefully when your head is under the water, so you can properly fill your lungs when you breathe in," says Kelly.
Try this now: Don't wait to breathe out until you turn you head to inhale. "Blow out the whole time that your head is under water, so that when you breathe in you fill your lungs," says Kelly.
On sight
Sighting is an essential skill in open-water swimming, but one that many triathletes struggle with. If you prefer to breathe on the right, when your left arm goes into the water, push it down and glance up before breathing to the side.
Try this now: If you're toward the middle or back of the pack in a race, aim to sight every eight to 10 strokes.
Suits you
Even without a wetsuit, humans are buoyant in water. "You don't need to change your technique when you're swimming in a wetsuit, but the extra buoyancy will allow you to leave your legs trailing behind you more."
Try this now: In the pool, use a pull buoy to simulate the buoyancy of wearing a wetsuit.
Beat It
If you want fresh legs for the bike - and we all do - kick your legs using a two-beat kick. "For every two-arm cycle you would normally do a six-beat kick," says Kelly.
Try this now: Swim a length and count how many kicks you usually make per two-arm cycle. "Now try swimming with a two-beat kick," says Kelly. "If you can mostly use your arms, that will help the bike and run."
Join the draft
Many triathlons forbid drafting on the bike (using another rider to shield you from the wind), but no such rules exist in the swim leg. If you swim 'on the feet' of the triathlete in front, their wake will pull you along a little. Just don't forget to sight, too - the swimmer in front might be veering off course and you don't want to go with them.
Try this now: Train with a friend and take it in turns to swim on each other's feet.
Take heart
In the bike and run sections you can take in air whenever you like, but when you're swimming you can only breathe at a certain point in the stroke cycle; that breathing pattern is a skill you'll have to learn.
Try this now: Once a week, swim harder than usual so you're forced to develop an efficient breathing pattern. Try swimming a hard 100m 10 times, with a short rest between each 100m.

Text from Hasbrotoyshop.com:
GRIMLOCK more than lives up to the reputation of his Tyrannosaurus Rex mode. Ill-tempered, powerful, and always ready for a fight, he loves to throw his weight around. He likes the way the ground shakes as he stomps around, and the way people scatter when he roars. He's happiest on DINOBOT Island, where he can stomp and roar to his Spark's content, shattering trees with his tail, and breathing jets of flame into the sky. Every once in a while, though, he prefers to find the biggest, most powerful DECEPTICON he can, and smash its chassis to pieces.
Convert this DINOBOT leader from robot mode to T-Rex mode and back again. Pose the robot crusader with his "flaming" sword in hand. Change him into T-Rex mode and the sword becomes a removable jet of fire breath! Snapping jaws and gold-colored accents make this advanced-conversion figure an impressive addition to your collection.
Dinobots are among the most revered of characters from Transformers lore. When they were first introduced in 1985, they fired the imaginations of fans everywhere by not only being large, powerful creatures but their defiant attitudes distinguised them from most of the Autobots. Leader of this team of Autobots was Grimlock, who (thanks in large part to the writings of Simon Furman) has turned into the resident super powerful rebel of the Transformers universe. In a line that seeks to pay homage to significant characters from the history of Transformers, it was of no surprise to learn Grimlock would be joining those ranks, once again serving as leader of the Dinobots.
Beast Mode:
Grimlock's beast mode combines elements from his G1 form, modern day knowledge of dinosaurs and the exaggerated style of "Animated" and combines them into one powerful looking package. The original Grimlock was a silver, gold and red T-Rex which was designed to stand upright, the standard for the dinosaur's appearance in the 80's. However, as time went along, scientists learned that the T-Rex actually stood in a different way, with its head pointed forward and tail back for balance. Most T-Rex based Transformers since the mid-90's have been designed with this appearance in mind instead. As such, Grimlock is sort of "T" shaped in this form, with his bulky center body on a horizontal plane, with his head pointed forward and his tail pointing back. His legs are set in the center, providing the appropriate balance for the figure to stand. Part of this is helped by the way his legs arch back and then forward in a bird like design that offers stability to the beast mode.
A lot of G1 Grimlock's design went into this figure. The neck is narrower than the head and then leads to a bulky chest and upper back section with tiny arms. This section angles on the edges, giving him the look of an entirely mechanical dinosaur, not a techno-organic like Megatron from Beast Wars. The legs have oval shaped designs on the sides, a nod to the circular designs of G1 Grimlock's upper legs. The robot feet are clearly visible on the rear of the beast mode, which is easily forgivable since their designs blend so well in with the rest of the figure.
Where Grimlock uses the "Animated" aesthetic are the exaggerated parts of the body. His lower jaw is so big it practically eclipses the top part of his beast mode head. Some parts are much shaper and more sleek than G1 Grimlock's. Take the upper beast mode legs for instance. instead of just being simple circles, they are curved, elongated blade shaped sections with an oval inside them (surrounded by raised details to boot). Also, while the original Dinobots had sculpts that seemed to work overtime to create intricate details on their necks and faces. Here that aesthetic is replaced with clean flat panels and broader line detals such as those found on his back and lower legs.
Grimlock is cast in light gold, grey and black plastic. Grey makes up a majority of the figure with light gold and black used for smaller sections such as his arms, claws and tail. A bit of translucent blue shows up on the head where it forms light piping for his eyes. Red and gold paint are used for detail work. This red is a dark one compared to the one used on G1 Grimlock but it fits the more muted look of "Animated" Grimlock. The red can be found at the base of the neck and bands on his back and feet. Gold is used on parts such as the neck and the edges of his legs. A silver Autobot symbol graces his upper left leg.
There are thirteen points of articulation on this figure in this form. Most of these are concentrated in the legs. The main joint is a huge ball joint, allowing you to pose it in various ways. This is critical since getting the "horizontal T-Rex" pose takes a bit of adjustment (less than a minute or so, but it doesn't just happen by itself). The jaw opens and closes if you press the button on the top of his head. The sword weapon fits in his mouth with the handle going sideways. The rectangular piece which sticks out of the handle goes into a slot inside the mouth to hold in place. While I know this is meant to look like he is breathing figure, it really does just look like Grimlock is chewing on his sword. I prefer him without it, but sadly that leaves nowhere to stow the weapon which is one negative point against the figure.
Grimlock's beast mode is definitely a great homage to his G1 form and he looks great. I wish a bit more could have been done with the sword, but it's hardly a deal breaker.
Transformation to Robot Mode:
- Detach the sword if you have it in Grimlock's mouth.
- Split the tail section in half and swing each half out to the sides.
- Swing the back of the dinosaur mode back.
- Fold in the panels on the back of the legs to form the heel pieces and the back of the robot legs.
- Straighten out the robot legs.
- Swing the dinosaur head and neck back.
- Pull the robot chest up.
- Swing the dinosaur arms into the flaps on his back.
- Rotate the lower arms around and fold the claws in.
- Place the sword in either hand.
Robot Mode:
Just as his robot mode combines bits of Grimlock's G1 appearance and the "Animated" look, this form carries that idea through full circle. Grimlock's general shape is the same as his G1 counterpart. "Wings" are formed on his back by parts of the dinosaur mode, his arms are formed from the dinosaur legs and his chest is wide with mechanical details in the center while his legs are formed from the rear half of the dinosaur mode with the tail halves attached to the sides. His proportions are very top heavy, which adds to his brutish appearance, down to his extended arms which look like he could almost be a "knuckle dragger". I mean that in the sincerest form of admiration for the character's power of course!
Grimlock's head design is largely based on the G1 Grimlock head with its central crest, antennae and visor eyes. However, his mouthplate has been replaced with a gigantic lower jaw with huge teeth, a robot mode carry over of the same jaw design in beast mode. A collar of sorts surrounds the robot head, looking much like a mouth with sharp fangs in the front. His main body is very smooth and curved rather than being angled like the beast mode. I like the contrast this offers since it really differentiates the two modes in aesthetic. His chest section has a nice translucent section on top with intricate circuitry like designs inside. This is reminscent of similar design features from the G1 Dinobots. In a nice touch, his claws become his fingers in this form rather than having a hand pop out of the lower arm. This adds to his savage appearance and looks much more fierce.
Grimlock adds gold and maroon to the color palette in this form. Gold makes up the chest piece while maroon is used for his abdomen, waist and the collar around his head. The gold chest piece is painted while the plastic on his back is black. The circuitry pattern section of his chest is translucent clear plastic, giving it a nice, alien appearance. A silver Autobot symbol graces the center of his chest. His robot head is black with translucent blue visor eyes, offering a very nice contrast against the rest of the figure. Maroon and gold paint apps can be found on his lower legs where they are used for the knee armor and feet respectively.
Grimlock's accessory is a huge sword sculpted to look like flames coming out of a sword hilt. Want a neat action feature? Plug the sword into his right fist and a small peg inside hits a switch in the sword and extra flames pop out from the sides. The effect is fantastic and mirrors an action the character performs in the show.
There are twenty two points of articulation on Grimlock in this form. This isn't too surprising considering each arm already has six points. While his articulation is great, the oddly shaped elbow joint on his arm requires you to adjust his arms a bit to get them posed if they're holding his sword. Sadly, the jaw piece on his head does not flap up and down, but that's hardly unexpected (but boy it would have been funny/cool/neat).
Final Thoughts:
Animated Grimlock is a wonderful reinterpretation of the character. While simplifying many aspects of the G1 design, he manages to somehow look a bit more intimidating than his G1 predecessor. Add to this the inherent coolness of robot dinosaurs and you have a winner of a figure here despite my reservations about its weapon not being stowed away in beast mode. Recommended!

Dolly and Mila originated in a tiny kitchen in NYC after the founders traveled through Central America and spent years studying Indigenous remedies, anthropology and holistic nutrition. The founders are best friends from childhood, but they're names are actually not Dolly and Mila. The line was named after two special women who inspired them throughout their lives (so sweet!). Having always dreamed of starting a company with a best friend, I especially love the story and bond behind this fabulous line. And of course, I also love that everything is 100% natural and wild-crafted using organic, free and fair trade ingredients.
So far, the Blossom Honey and Organic Coffee Intensive Facial Exfoliant is definitely my favorite from the line. Talk about a perfect morning beauty product! It truly perks you up inside and out. If you like natural products, you'll just love how unprocessed and raw this scrub smells and feels. Its ingredient list is superbly clean and pure with not a single questionable ingredient. It also doubles as a natural cellulite treatment – use it as a mask and scrub for any current or potential areas of concern. What a great bonus, right?!

Jalopnik superfriend and New Jersey explorer J.F. Musial captured this image of the start of construction for the New Jersey Grand Prix. It might just be the paddock/parking garage, located in exceedingly glamorous Weehawken, but it's a start.
With this humble frame begins a tortuous, drawn-out, extremely public process of building a Formula One circuit, not an easy task anywhere, especially in the United States.
Hopefully, throngs of rich New York financiers and obscenely young-moneyed New Jersians will get behind the Grand Prix and keep things running smoothly so this doesn't become another failed experiment.

Authentic French tablecloth. Created with love in the south of France. Since 1933 and for the last three generations, this family owned business in Nice, France have been making quality tablecloths in the traditional style for "la vie Provençale".
100% Cotton Acrylic Coated. What a fabulous invention! Easy care. Just wipe down with a wet cloth. The cotton fabric is treated with an acrylic coating which makes the tablecloth stain repellent. It's like magic – any spills simply bead on the cloth ready to be wiped off. Ideal for high traffic areas such as the kitchen. The great thing about this coating is that although there's a light sheen to the tablecloth, because the tablecloth itself is made of cotton (and not plastic or oilcloth) the tablecloth drapes nicely at the corners and it doesn't stick out at awkward angles. This water-repellent cotton can be washed in the washing machine although it doesn't need washing nearly as often as a standard cotton tablecloth. Ideal for everyday use.
Care: Just use a wet sponge or cloth to clean and wipe off the spills. Can be machine washed in cold or warm water without loosing the coating. Water repellent tablecloths may wrinkle after washing like any garments. Just hang them to dry. If you really must get every last wrinkle out, the tablecloths may be ironed on reverse side at low temperature. Do not dry clean.
Ideal for everyday use or for special occasions. Classic elegance to bring a touch of France to your dining.
250 x 155 cm - Suits a rectangle or oval table to seat six to eight people.
Please be aware that while every attempt has been made to be as accurate as possible, the colours in photos are sometimes slightly different to the tablecloth, so slight colour variations may occur.

New "Upstairs Downstairs" coming to PBS
PBS and the BBC are co-producing a new "Upstairs Downstairs" as part of a new collaboration on several programs to air in the U.S. in 2011, the 40th anniversary season of "Masterpiece."
The deal also includes "Sherlock," a 21st-century spin on Arthur Conan Doyle's classic Sherlock Holmes novels, and three Aurelio Zen mysteries, adapted from the best-selling novels by Michael Dibden set in Italy.
Benedict Cumberbatch ("Atonement") will portray Holmes.
Rufus Sewell ("Eleventh Hour") will portray the Italian detective.
And Marsh returns as the parlor maid Rose.
The original "Upstairs Downstairs" won seven Emmys for what was then "Masterpiece Theatre" in the mid-1970s, including Best Actress for Marsh. Marsh will reprise her role in the new three-part series as Rose, the parlor maid. Dame Eileen Atkins, the co-creator of the original, will also star. Screenwriter Heidi Thomas (Cranford) is setting the new drama in the same house at 165 Eaton Place in 1936, during the period leading up to World War II.

Michael Jordan got D'Bo pregnant?!
Pictures Of Michael Jordan's Accused Baby Mother Surface
The big news this morning is the fact Michael Jordan is in the middle of another paternity suit. We bet you're imagining a beautiful diva that would put Juanita to shame. Well, we have news for you. The woman, Laquetta Theus, actually looks like she could help MJ's Bobcats grab some rebounds.
She dropped this Facebook post: "Michael Jordan, when are you going to support your 2-year-old daughter? You drop 10 million on your nice wedding … that was nice but don't you think it time that you support your daughter?"
That same Facebook account revealed these pictures and whoooo buddy. If these allegations are true, MJ lost.

Everybody's favorite ginger from Harry Potter has a strange new superhero show lined up as his next project. It's a little bit of Kick-Ass with a touch of Bubble Boy, and it's called Super Clyde. The show is currently under development at CBS, and according to THR:
Grint will play the title role of Clyde, the well-meaning and sweet yet slightly neurotic guy who never feels like he really fits in. The avid comic book reader considers himself a borderline agoraphobic with mild to severe anxiety issues who wishes he were a super hero himself. When Clyde inherits a $100,000 a month inheritance from his long-dead eccentric Uncle Bill, he decides that the cash will be his secret super power and will use it only for good and reward the good-hearted.
This could be great, or terrible. It all depends on tone. Either way, we like the idea of new, original programming. Plus Grint is nice to look at.

Electricity customers with annual demands greater than five megawatts will continue
to have the option to shop for competitive electricity supply. In addition, retail
customers may purchase electricity supply from 100 percent renewable sources from
competitive suppliers if their local utility company does not include renewable
energy as a source of generation.
The 2007 legislation continued the policy to allow retail customers of Virginia's
two largest gas companies, Columbia Gas and Washington Gas Light, to select other
companies to provide their gas supply service.

In June, a special commission appointed by Governor Patrick made mostly timid recommendations on how to improve operations and prevent corruption in local public housing authorities across the state. This week, Patrick attacked the problem head-on, by unveiling a bill to consolidate the state's 240 housing agencies into six regional authorities.
More than most other public agencies, local housing authorities are highly vulnerable to wrongdoing. All too often, political coziness characterizes the relationships between housing executives and board members — some paid — who are usually appointed by local elected officials. That's how former Chelsea housing chief Michael McLaughlin managed to arrange an obscene $360,000 salary for himself while failing to make needed improvements for low-income tenants. Other authorities have been plagued by no-show jobs, fraud, and favoritism in hiring and contracting.
State officials admit they can't oversee the scores of authorities in charge of 83,000 low-income apartment units across the state. But they can keep track of six regional authorities. Each would be overseen by nine unpaid board members appointed by the governor. The majority of board members would be professionals with credible housing experience.
The consolidation requires the approval of the Legislature. State lawmakers will soon be besieged by local officials claiming Patrick's move is a power grab by the state. But the proposed law doesn't undermine local control of land use and redevelopment. And some of the opposition will undoubtedly stem from people who view the authorities as a source of jobs for politically connected people.
But the purpose of public housing isn't to employ cronies. "The goal [of reform] is to improve the quality of life of people who live in public housing," said Greg Bialecki, the state secretary of housing and economic development. "Let that be the debate.''
Absent any compelling arguments that consolidation will reduce the quality of the housing stock or displace tenants, the bill deserves passage by the Legislature.
Any successful effort to regionalize the management of public housing could spur similar consolidation efforts in areas such as education and public safety. That's all the more reason why state officials need to ensure that the regional housing authorities become models of integrity and efficiency.

— Frank B. May in Teach Reading Creatively
What exactly are "sight words?" These are words that good readers may instantly recognize without having to "figure them out." There are two reasons why sight words are an essential component of good reading: First of all, many of these words do not sound like their spellings might suggest, so "sounding them out" would be unproductive. Also, a good reader really can't afford the time to dwell on too many words, or he may lose the speed and fluency necessary for determining the author's message.
How should we decide which words to teach as sight words? Studies suggest that the most in our language, known as "high-frequency words" be the best place to start. Believe it or not, the 100 most common words actually make up about 50 percent of the material we read! The 25 most common words make up about -third of our written material (Fry, Kress, and Fountoukidis).
We can enable our students to greatly increase their reading efficiency when we teach them to read half or more of the words they encounter in a quick and automatic manner.
You can probably guess correctly at many of the most common words in our written language, such as: the, a, is, of, to, in, and, I, you, and that. You may also want to refer to lists assembled by Dolch or by Fry, Kress, and Fountoukidis

| 8.9°C Dublin
Southampton captain Adam Lallana has signed a new five-year deal with the south coast club which will keep him at St Mary's until 2018.
The midfielder, who came through the club's Academy, scored in last weekend's 2-0 victory over Reading, his third of the season and 50th for the club in total.
He follows Kelvin Davies, Rickie Lambert, Morgan Schneiderlin and Jason Puncheon in signing a new deal with the club in recent weeks.
"I'm absolutely delighted," Lallana told the club's official website. "To commit my future to the Club for the next five years is something I'm really happy about.
"I can't wait to work with the new management team and the lads to continue our progress in the Premier League. It was an easy decision for me with the direction the club is going in."
Lallana has made more than 200 first-team appearances for the Saints, having helped them rise from League One to the Premier League.
"I've been at the club since I was 12 and - being honest - I can only see my future lying with Southampton Football Club," he added.
"If someone was to say that I'd end my career playing for Southampton in the Premier League then I'd snap your hand off for it."

Alligator Indian (4 Albums, 14 Tracks)
Residing in a quaint but vibrant mountain town along the Appalachian Trail, Alligator Indian's music, or as it's small but rabid fanbase is wont to call it, "booty tunes", does/do not conform to what most would consider the norm for the local scene. Their influences do not come from mouth harps or washboards (though they have been known to indulge from time to time); they are not what you would call "earthy," or even "earthly." Rather, theirs is a sound culled from the grit of late-70s Bleeker St., painted with the acid-dappled brush of a German expressionist. This should come as no surprise since their roots lie in the bedbug-infested Brooklyn streets…more or less. But they and their home have come to love and embrace each other, and together they have truly created the opiate of the masses. Or at the very least, the tetrahydrocannabinol of the masses. - Bleeding Gold Records

Peace Bridge traffic would be taken out of Front Park in a construction plan introduced by the state Department of Transportation in a public "scoping" meeting Tuesday in the Porterview Room in the D'Youville College Center.
It was the first step in a yearlong process of studies, comments and approvals for what the DOT is calling the "N.Y. Gateway Connections Improvement Project to the U.S. Peace Bridge Plaza."
The proposal, which would provide better access between the Peace Bridge and the Niagara Thruway, would eliminate Baird Drive in Front Park.
Under the plan, all Canada-bound traffic would approach the bridge via a new access road off Porter Avenue, which would join exiting traffic on the current ramp, called Ramp A, from the northbound I-190.
Tom Donohue, the DOT's consultant project manager, said this plan would end backups at the traffic light where Ramp A and Baird Drive meet.
Incoming traffic from Canada, meanwhile, would be taken to the northbound I-190 via a new bridge instead of taking Baird Drive to Porter Avenue to reach the I-190 entrance. Access to the southbound I-190 would remain unchanged. Local streets would be reached via the current roadway that loops behind the Peace Bridge Plaza.
One of the benefits, Donohue explained, would be to "reduce the use of local streets by interstate traffic."
Officials said the scoping process will continue until mid-July and that the DOT will accept written comments until July 11 at 100 Seneca St., Buffalo, NY 14203, or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
A draft environmental impact study would be ready by November, followed by public hearings in December and a final environment study next February.
If approved, the design and construction phase would begin next May.
Maria Lehman, the state's project manager for the Peace Bridge, said after the formal presentation that construction would take about a year, would cost $20 million to $22 million and would be paid for by state and federal funds.
She added that all the land involved in the project is owned by the DOT or the Thruway.
"The ingress and egress as it stands right now is very complicated," Lehman said. "It looks like spaghetti. When you have a backup at the intersection and trucks are backed up, it's very difficult to get in and out."
After the presentation, Tim Tielman, executive director of the Campaign for Greater Buffalo, History, Architecture and Culture, questioned the need for the project.
"This situation has been there since the Thruway was constructed," he said. "There's been a 2 percent annual decline in traffic on the bridge since the '60s. In the light of that, wouldn't it be a better use of public funds to not do this at all?"
Lehman suggested that traffic on the bridge was likely to increase as the economy improves.
"From a purely engineering standpoint," she added, "it's two ramps, two bridges and some pavement in between. It's nothing very exciting."

It doesn't take six degrees of separation to find someone you know with cancer. It affects everyone...young, old, men, women, friends, family, colleagues and even pets… I know many women who are fighting the battle with breast cancer including my husband's aunt Jill, my student, Janet and my friend's mom, Deb. They are all fighting the good fight and amazingly, keeping their spirits up while battling with such an awful disease.
But not everyone wins that battle. I have been lucky since cancer does not run in my family, so I know very few people who have died from cancer. However, cancer took the life of my beautiful Siberian Husky, Scout. Some people might think it strange that this would be the way cancer has affected me the most, but she was my family.
Through the process of misdiagnosis, surgery, reoccurrence, biopsies, and treatment you have many highs and lows, hopes and feelings of despair. After a year and a half (which is a long time in dog years) Scout succumbed to the cancer. Scout was such an affectionate, spirited dog and she touched the lives of many people. My husband and I cried over her death, but our family and friends also felt the loss because wherever we were, Scout was not far behind.
Surprisingly, the one who cried the most was our other dog, Kahlua. After Scout's death, we were not ready to get another dog. It was just too soon. However, Kahlua cried for months. She was listless, her appetite waned, and a dog who always wagged her tail, stopped wagging. We decided we had to get her another dog. So, we found a beautiful rescue husky named Luna.
Luna was caught as a stray and was rescued, only to spend months in a kennel. When we got her she was gaunt, hand-shy and she wreaked of urine. Over time we eventually came to find out that she had also been shot with a round of buckshot. Luna has adjusted very well and is living the life she deserved all along, but had it not been for Scout's death, we would not have saved Luna. I guess the moral of the story is that you can take the pain and loss of your loved one and use those experiences to help others. We took all that love we had for Scout and gave it to a dog that really needed someone to care for her. Sometimes its amazing what dogs can teach you.
