Press release from Bear River Band of Rohnerville Rancheria:
The Bear River Band of Rohnerville Rancheria is pleased to announce the Groundbreaking of the Bear River Recreation Center on the Bear River Rancheria on July 14, 2015. The multi-use Bear River Recreation Center will be a venue for entertainment and concerts while serving as a gym and athletic facility on a day to day basis. The facility will be available and open to Bear River Tribal Members at no cost and available to the public on a daily fee basis and monthly fee basis.

Adams Commercial General Contracting, Inc of Eureka, CA was selected to build the facility after a competitive bid process. The facility was designed by DJ Cleek of CleekCo., also located in Eureka, CA.
"I am honored to have been selected and entrusted as the designer of the Bear River Recreation Center," said DJ Cleek of CleekCo.
"We truly value the commitment that Bear River has made to using local businesses and are really pleased to be a part of this great project. We cannot wait to begin construction on this beautiful facility." said Will Adams of Adams Commercial General Contracting, Inc.

Credit Card Wallets
Sometimes you just don't want all that stuff. You know what I'm talking about. The wallet with all the baby pictures of your nieces and nephews and your boss's grandchildren, the receipts from that computer monitor you bought three years ago and the muffler you replaced last year. You've got one of those wallets that's bursting with every fortune cookie fortune you've ever gotten, in your life. Sometimes, you just want to start over, make a clean break. And, what do you really need to carry in your wallet? Your credit cards? Your driver's license? A bit of cash?
For those of you who'd like to simplify, scale back, unburden yourself, a credit card wallet can be a godsend. Throw out that eight pound behemoth of leather! Get a new credit card wallet and get out from under.
Getting Your Credit Card Wallet
Like most accessories today, buying a credit card wallet is easier than ever. You can do an Internet search for the term credit card wallet and turn up a whole host of spots that sell these accessories. You will find credit card wallets of all prices and brands, from the rock bottom discount model to the most prestigious of designer wallets. Point your mouse and start shopping now!
A good place to start in your quest for a credit card wallet is the website by the people at Deluxe Moda. Here you will find handbags and wallets made by all the top fashion designers all in one convenient spot. And they will sell you these top of the line products at substantial savings too. Take, for example, a credit card wallet by Prada, the Prugna Wallet. This sleek little wallet measures only 4.2 inches by 2.8 inches, so it will slip easily into your pocket or your purse. The wallet features three pockets for your credit cards and other necessities. The genuine purple leather will look stylish and chic wherever you use it.
For more great buys on quality credit card wallets visit Tumi.com. This online retailer offers five different credit card wallets at good prices.

Wallets for People Who Don't Like Wallets
With their incredibly compact design, credit card wallets are perfect for people who feel chained to their old, bulky, full sized wallet. The enormous bulge a full sized wallet can make in your pocket makes you prey to pickpockets and thieves. Not only that, it's downright uncomfortable to have to sit down on a wallet that's almost 5 inches thick. Talk about back problems.
For people who want to break free from their old wallet, there's a website that sells a credit card wallet especially for them. It's called The Jimi, a wallet so thin and small you'll hardly know you are carrying it.

This credit card wallet also accommodates a lanyard, so that it can be attached to ski, biking, or other sports clothing to prevent it being lost. This is truly the wallet for those who hate them.
Personalize Your Credit Card Wallet
If you want a wallet that really says, this is me, then how about one that comes personalized with your initials? The Executive Gift Shoppe features a wallet such as this that can be personalized with up to three letters, free of charge. This genuine leather wallet has three outside slots and one interior slot for all your necessities. It also comes with a magnetic money clip for bills. When ordering, simply specify your initials, and the slim and stylish credit card wallet will be shipped directly to you.
As you can see, there are many routes to take to your wallet freedom. Purchase your credit card wallet and say goodbye to bulk!

A Sheffield judge has warned cannabis growers they risk having their drug dens broken into - after he jailed two burglars.
Judge Peter Kelson warned those who grow cannabis plants make themselves a target for other criminals.
He said not only do they face imprisonment if caught by the police but they are at risk of other crooks raiding their drug dens.
"People who decide to grow cannabis in their homes not only face imprisonment they also face burglary from others," he said.
Judge Kelson spoke out as he jailed 19-year-old Jamie Barker and Adam Oakes, 23, for breaking into a house and stealing cannabis plants and electrical items.
Barker, of Burns Road, Herringthorpe, was jailed for 32 months and Oakes, of Lockwood Close, East Herringthorpe, was handed a 13-month jail sentence.
Laura Marshall, prosecuting, said police were called after a neighbour saw the two men getting into a taxi with a television and other goods.
When officers arrived at the house they found a strong smell of cannabis and evidence that plants had been recently cropped.
The homeowner denied any knowledge of the plants being grown and was not prosecuted.
When interviewed by police, Barker said he had been told cannabis was being grown at the house and he decided to break in and steal the plants.
Richard Thyne, for Barker, who has previous convictions for burglary, said he had been a 'promising, hard-working young man' until he began offending two-and-half years ago due to cannabis use and drinking.
Amanda Denton, for Oakes, said he began offending after losing his job when he breached a community order.
The judge told Oakes: "Some of the locks inside the house were broken in order to search the premises which you deliberately targeted because you wanted the cannabis."
He was given 12 months in prison for the burglary with another one month consecutive sentence for breaching the community order.

I couldn`t agree more with Peter Botzek`s article about the reliability of trolley buses when compared with the diesel buses. They were pollution-free and quieter with infrequent breakdowns. I would also like to add that the CTA once operated the largest fleet of odorless, pollution-free, propane-powered buses. Like the trolley buses they were quieter than the diesel buses and you could open their windows on hot days.
It`s too bad that propane engine technology didn`t keep pace with that of the diesel.

The first citation in the Oxford English Dictionary is from a 1948 Dictionary of Forces' Slang. The OED suggests that it derives ultimately from the noun cock, but gives no further detail. [1] The nature of the earliest citation suggests that this expression entered the wider language from military slang, making etymologies from typesetting or archery (see below) seem unlikely.
The term is sometimes attributed to the days of manual typesetting, when a letter that had become wedged slightly higher than the other letters on the line was said to be "cocked up".
Another claim relates to medieval archery. One of the three feathers on an arrow is a cock's feather. If the arrow was incorrectly placed on the bow for drawing and release, the arrow would go off course because of the cock's feather being up and therefore the arrow positioned wrongly on the bow. This was then known as a 'cock up'.

Google Docs To Store Any File
From Information Week
It's not quite "GDrive," Google's long-rumored cloud storage service, but it's a step in that direction.
In a few weeks, Google plans to allow Google Docs users to upload and store any type of file, up to 250 MB in size.
"No, this is not GDrive," said Google product manager Vijay Bangaru in a phone interview, who characterized the announcement as an extension of Google Docs.
The existence of GDrive has been rumored since at least 2006.

Simon Heller
Richard Schuchardt has interviewed Simon Heller,General Manager of Warner Vision International. Simon has 15 years experience in t...
With the DVD market firmly established it was only a matter of time before there were further announcements concerning the DVD format. CDs have always been considered by audio fans to be lacking in depth, so now with the immergence of DVD-A, you can listen to your favourite artists in a multi-channel environment. Warner Vision International have been one of the instigators of the format and have recently announced 60 news titles for the format. Recently we were lucky enough to interview Simon Heller who is General Manager of Warner Vision International. Simon has 15 years experience in the video industry and has been with Warner for 4 years. We thought it would be the perfect time to interview Simon and ask him some questions about DVD-A. If after reading this interview you are still interested in finding out more, we have produced an article which can be found here.
DVDActive: Simple question first, what exactly is DVD-Audio?
DVD-Audio is a new audio entertainment format, which we hope will repeat the success of DVD. DVD gives you an experience you literally cannot get any other way, which is surround-sound audio. DVD-A allows those interested in music to hear it in a way that previously only musicians and a live audience could experience on stage, in rehearsal, or in the studio. DVD-A focuses on superior sound, and uses new technology to give dramatically improved resolution to audio tracks, with the choice of surround sound or stereo, and it is also compatible with every existing DVD machine.
DVDActive: What sort of advantages does it have over CD-Audio based pre-recordings?
DVD-A discs, just like their feature film counterpart, hold much more information than normal CD discs. DVD-A also allow the listener to hear the sound in superior Advanced Resolution, six channel surround sound and stereo sound. Being surrounded by the music means that it's possible for recordings to reflect the actual acoustics of the venue, which can give a completely new dimension to the listening experience.
DVDActive: Can my DVD-Video player, CD player or PC play DVD-Audio discs?
You can play a DVD-A album in any machine sporting the DVD logo. This includes the PS-2, DVD-ROM's and DVD enabled X-Box players. You can't play a DVD disc in a CD player.
DVDActive: Does an artist need to redo a performance for a DVD-Audio recording or is it taken from another media? If the latter, then is there some processing to be carried out?
Artists don't need to re-record performances for DVD-A and anyway in the case of a classic album such as The Doors LA Woman re-recording would be impossible. Where possible, original artists and engineers have been brought in to re-master their classic albums for DVD-A. In the case of the Rumours album by Fleetwood Mac, celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, Mick Fleetwood and Ken Calliat (the original album engineer) returned to the studio to ensure the sound was perfect.
DVDActive: How many DVD-Audio discs are currently on sale in the UK, and where can I buy them?
Warner Vision released 60 classic albums on the 26th August this year and plan to continue releasing albums through out this year and next. Support for the DVD-A format is growing within the other record labels and I would expect that by this time next year the DVD-A album collection would be substantial. You can purchase DVD-A albums from the likes of HMV, Virgin, vivante.co.uk and all good Video and DVD stockists.
DVDActive: DVD-Video discs has "region codes", do they exist on DVD-Audio discs?
No, DVD-A discs don't have region codes.
DVDActive: Why has DVD-Audio taken so much longer than DVD-Video to become mainstream?
The format is just starting out. Until August this year, there was literally a handful of albums available to buy, but we are working hard to ensure the catalogue keeps growing. This Christmas should mark a price reduction in the cost of a DVD-A player, enticing the consumer into the surround sound world of DVD-Audio. It is only a matter of time before we can buy a DVD-A home cinema package for under £500.
DVDActive: Was there a reason why the copy protection system for DVD-Audio wasn't finalised from the beginning?
No comment.
DVDActive: Do you have any worries about Universal's decision to go-it-alone and adopt an alternative standard (from Sony and Philips) called SACD?
Warner Vision believes that consumers will draw their own conclusions as to which format offers the highest quality audio experience. Essentially the artists appearing on each format will dictate its popularity and success within the market place.
DVDActive: Are there any advantages of using DVD-Audio over the competing SACD format, I understand that they both support pictures but only DVD-Audio supports video - could you comment on this?
Again Warner are happy for the consumer to draw their own conclusions as to whether or not DVD-A provides a superior sound to SACD, but bear in mind that the latter does require the consumer to purchase new hardware. Consumers are familiar with the DVD set up and are happy to use their remote control to navigate around the disc. I'm sure that extras such as videos, lyrics, photos and song writing commentaries will receive a very positive reception, not just from the strong music fans, but the DVD lovers too!
DVDActive: Do Warner plan to release a lot more of their library on the DVD-Audio format and what sort of price range do you expect them to be in - will it go down in the future?
Warner Vision will continue to champion DVD-A with further releases during the rest of this year and into 2003. We expect the DVD-A format to increase in popularity, as more artists become aware of the advanced sound quality and extra features available. Their enthusiasm for DVD-A will help to raise consumer awareness and support.
DVDActive: From what I understand, you can read DVD-Audio on a regular DVD drive, unfortunately none of the current PC DVD players support it, do you know of any player that plan to support the format soon, such as the popular PowerDVD?
This isn't entirely true, as DVD-A albums will play on a PC with a DVD drive. Unless you have 5.1 surround sound speakers and a very advanced sound card you won't be able to enjoy the music in advanced resolution, however it will play in stereo sound.
DVDActive: The average person on the street still does not know what DVD-Audio is. Is anything being done to change this?
Awareness of DVD-Audio is growing. We are expecting another DVD Christmas this year, with thousands of households investing in new DVD players and or stepping up the ladder and purchasing a Home Cinema Surround Sound System. Consumers are already familiar with the benefits 5.1 Surround Sound and enjoy films such as Gladiator and the Matrix for their audio quality just as much as the images on screen. If the consumer has ever wondered what their favourite albums would sound like played out of surround sound speakers, they can now find out. Music fans will be thrilled to discover that DVD-A albums also contain a variety of extras such as photo galleries and interviews with the artists, a feature the CD will never offer because it doesn't have the space to hold the extra information.

Angry Beauty: Are You Holding Back Props When They're Due?
"Did you see her? Would you rock those leopard print shoes? They kind of remind me of a tacky, stripper shoe if you ask me. The rest of the outfit is decent though…She's actually kind of pretty. Well, kind of…"
An associate of mine stated as she felt the need to let her inner thoughts spill out through her mouth. Wishing she had kept her commentary to herself, she went on and acted as if she was a guest judge on America's Next Top Model by critiquing each confident woman who entered the door. Being irritated, we ordered another round of drinks hoping she would keep her "expert" criticism of the world to herself. There were numerous women in the vicinity who were fly in their own right and "the judge" attempted to find at least one flaw in them to knock them off their pedestal.
My associate was attractive as well, but for some reason she seemed she would only be truly confident if she were the only female in the room.
Now, I know we've all heard the tale of Sleeping Beauty, but I'm sure we all have encountered an Angry Beauty a time or two in our lives. An Angry Beauty is someone who is an attractive woman but seems to be mad at the world because there are other equally attractive women on this earth.
Beauty is not like a math problem, more than one beautiful woman in an area does not cancel out the other. We have all, at some point, suffered from side-eye syndrome that causes us to want to lash out at our fellow sisters because we may either feel intimidated by her presence or achievements. It is sometimes difficult to accept that just because another young lady is working it out, it does not take a thing away from your beauty, unless you allow it.

Hey Bees,
I am having one of those months where every time I look in the mirror, I cry. My boobs are huge and it's really bothering me. I'm doing P90x with my husband, logging all my calories and even joined a walking program. Is there something in particular that you have done to lose weight in your boobs?

In addition to writing, I do a lot of public speaking on topics ranging from healthy habits to stress management to time management and goal-setting. Managing my time as efficiently as I can helps me make a fulltime living while putting in part-time hours, so I'm always looking for time-saving measures like working when I'm not really working.
In the world of time management, there are two basic schools of thought when it comes to what you should do first each day. One school says to prioritize your tasks, and do the most important task first, then the second most important, and so on. The other school suggests starting with something relatively easy to do; by checking off the first thing on your to-do list, you build momentum for the rest of the day.
I say both are wrong. As I shared at my speech on 10 ways to thrive as a freelancer today at CWIP, the first thing you should do is eliminate the ugliest. In other words, do the thing that you most do not want to do first.
There are several compelling reasons why. First, when you start your morning with the worst thing you must do (whether it's writing the draft of a complicated article, finally revising a book chapter, or calling an editor to request some contract changes), your day can only get better, right?
Second, when you have something you don't want to do and you don't do it right away, you spend a good part of your workday coming up with compelling (and increasingly more creative) reasons why you cannot do that thing right now. You promise yourself you'll do it after you have some coffee. No, you'll do it before lunch. Wait, your blood sugar is flagging--you'll do it after lunch. Then you put it off until 3 p.m.--and nothing gets done at 3 p.m. Eventually you run out of steam, and you run out of work time, and you promise yourself you'll do the dreaded task--tomorrow.
Here's the thing. First off, the dreaded thing did not get done! That's bad enough. But second, consider how much time and mental energy you wasted throughout your day, coming up with excuses (oops, I mean reasons) why you couldn't do it right at that moment. That's not only a waste of time, it's a drain on your emotional energy and leeches your productivity.
That's why I end every work day identifying the thing I most do not want to do the next morning--and start every work day tackling that task. Eliminate the ugliest, whatever your personal "ugly" thing may be, and watch your productivity climb.
How else do I make the most of my time? By specializing. If you're a new to freelancing, check out Ready, Aim, Specialize! Create your own Writing Specialty and Make More Money (Kindle edition).

About Lust4Rust and Aquatic Adventures
Pete Mesley is the driving force behind Lust4Rust Diving Excursions and Aquatic Adventures. Pete is one of the Southern Hemispheres most experienced Technical Diving Instructors and Explorers, but is not the driving force behind what he does "Its actually getting out there and doing the diving that is most important to me!"
I started specialising in rebreather and technical diving trips about 15 years ago, shortly after I went on a diving holiday with my breather and coudnt get any assistance and support from the dive operator.
On top of that, dive times were limited to 30-50min and the person that I was paired up with had done 10 dives in 4 years. This was not the way I had wanted to spend my diving holiday! So I did something about it - and started Lust4Rust Diving Excursions and Aquatic Adventure .
So ever since then I have been focusing on producing quality dive trips globally, focusing on taking people from experienced Recreational Divers to Highly Experienced Rebreather and Technical Divers to some of the best dive locations on the planet! We have a massive inventory of technical diving equipment in many locations (Truk Lagoon, Bikini Atoll etc etc), Rebreather tanks, deco tanks, boosters, Helium, Sorb, Manifolded twins etc. All this to reduce any hassles of transporting gear to these destinations.
Safety is of the utmost importance so on all our specialised trips we take a diving physician and a comprehensive medic kit, for everyones piece of mind.
We really look forward to diving with you in the future! Check out what people have had to say about our trips on this link
Experience in the Diving Industry
Pete's passion for diving started in the cold English waters over 25 years ago. This is where his "Lust for Rust" was created and from then onwards he has dedicated himself to researching, finding, diving, photographing and leading expeditions to wreck diving meccas! With over 3000 + hours in-water experience spanning over 15 different countries, Pete has made diving a full time occupation.
Originally from Zimbabwe Pete married a Kiwi girl and moved to NZ in 1994. As well as being a PADI Course Director, Pete is a Tech CCR Diving Instructor Trainer, TDI Advanced Trimix Instructor, and CCR Inspiration Advanced Trimix Rebreather Instructor. Pete is one of the Southern Hemisphere's most experienced Technical divers and Instructors.
He's also been involved in many diving activities with significant experience in leading and being a part of expeditions to wrecks. One of his recent expeditions was where he was one of 2 stills photographers brought in for a National Geographic expedition to the HMHS Britannic. Being part of a team of 10 divers from all over the world diving the famous wreck!
In June 2000 he was involved with Tanya Streeters 90 meter variable ballast sled dive in New Zealand. Also featuring in the National Geographic series X-Force The Science of Diving. He has become more involved with planning and organising technical trips round NZ and the South Pacific.
Pete has also been the first to dive many NZ deep wrecks. The Port Kembla in 2007, 96m (cargo ship hit German mine in 1917). HMS Puriri in 1999, 2000, 2005 in 97m (a Kiwi minesweeper sunk in 1940's), RMS Niagara 2000, 2004, 2006, in 125m (a luxurious Ocean liner sunk by German mine in 1940's) He is also a veteran of the Mikhail Lermontov with over 400 hours inside the wreck!
He has also conducted expeditions and has experience diving in the Solomons, President Coolidge, Vanuatu, Truk Lagoon, Bikini Atoll, Sipadan Island, Borneo, Great Barrier Reef, Red Sea, Scapa Flow, Scotland, dived over 100 wrecks in UK, Fiji, Tonga, Cyprus, South Africa, Caves in Zimbabwe, ice diving in South Island NZ, Melbourne wrecks Australia and the South China Sea.
An accomplished photographer and videographer, Pete has an appetite for finding new places, new wrecks and adventure! Pete currently lives in Auckland with his wife, Kim and his two daughters.
2013 Saw Pete being accepted into the coveted "Explorers Club" as a member for his contribution to exploration of wrecks around the world and documenting them.
Also receiving recognition at the 2013 Oztek Technical Diving Conference in Sydney Australia for "Exceptional Contributions to the Growth and Development of Technical Diving"

This is the festival I celebrate with much dedication every year. Last week I celebrated it with my daughter. We do this pooja in the 2nd Friday of Sravana Masam the most auspicious day. And if it comes with pournami that's very good. This year pournami(full moon day) is on Tuesday. I don't know why I am fascinated about this day and the pooja on the whole. I don't regularly do pooja even a Namaskaaram to the God though I have great respect towards our God's. But Vara lakshmi vratham takes a special place somewhere in the corner of my heart and every year i do the pooja. My mother laughs at me as when I tell her I don't want to do the pooja this year and guess what the next when I wake up I change my mind and do it. It happens every year and this year too. And I don't know ABC of how to do a pooja I simply follow the book or printouts I find. I think the real essence of doing the pooja doesn't matter how u do or what u do but how u feel to do and with dedication u do. It should come out of ur heart. Anything that done whole heartedly how bad it may look it will turn out well. I am not a strong believer in god as far as I know even I go to temples to get a peaceful mind and because now a days the temple's are stacked with people I avoid them on festive days. when its rush and where we can't even breathe properly. Guys we want peace at least to pray not think of other people walking on us. So after coming to USA I feel so relieved. As u all must have known this festival pooja and importance through other blogs. I am not repeating it. But if u haven't and need to know anything about it you can find more details here.
This is the 6th year I am celebrating the festival after I have married my dear R. Can u believe it? I too can't J . Good me. Even in my childhood I used to ask my mom don't forget my toram( a thread knotted with different leaves and flowers) as I won't get a holiday from school like my mom has. Good old days the mehandi we put on our hands and happily showed in school and do u know how beautiful our hands used to be. Hakuna Matata(it means no worries). Even now I have no worries but somehow I miss my past days. And not to mention as I am a last minute decider as usual I wanted to keep it simple so I selected the neivedyam to be simple yet nice. In my house sweets won't go quickly and no time to make Gaarelu and poornaalu my all time favourites. So I made Pulihora, chekkara pongali, Kesari. We decorate a coconut like the Lakshmi devi the goddess we r praying with jewels and flowers.
Look in the picture my little girl is helping in doing pooja.
And friends what took me so long to post this is my daughter there is a little bit story too. I make it short. We went to New jersey last week. As we planned already I made the pooja simple so nothing is wasted and nothing is messed up. So in that matters everything went well and the trip was also fine. We enjoyed philly down town and New Jersey 6 flags safari and hurricane harbor. My daughter enjoyed a lot in the water and not to mention she got fever when we returned. It will be horrible if our little ones r down with fever. And it lasted for 4 days with high fever. She got little infection in her right ear which caused the fever. Today she was fine and the doc gave Good recovery certificate on the follow up visit(that is today). So at the end all is well. Now I got time for my post. So here I am writing my post. I should mention but we loved the Hurricane Harbour. We will go again but wait for my daughter to grow another yr older.
I completed the pooja successfully and u can observe my lamination which covers all the gods whom I worship. Lord Venkateswara , Sai baba, Ganesha, Lakshmi, Saraswathi, Parvathi Parameshwara with Little Ganesha. Hope u all like it.
I offered chakkerapongali,kesari,pulihora, banana, pomegranate and apples for Neivedyam.

The all-important weekly US Department of Energy oil inventories number saw a further 2 million barrel increase in inventories, but this number was below consensus estimates and Tuesday's API inventories number as well. This helped see WTI oil gain 3.8% overnight. But the Chinese stimulus driven surge in commodities continued to rally industrial metals. While the Chinese stock markets were selling off, Steel Rebar futures in Shanghai gained 6.3% to trade at their highest level since September 2014. Unsurprisingly, the energy and materials sectors were the strongest performers in most markets in the overnight session.
While the S&P 500 only added 0.1% overnight, the total return measure of the index broke to its highest level ever. With the current momentum, it is really only a matter of time before the nominal index follows it higher as well. It is not a market to be shorting at the current juncture, new all-time highs are bullish in short term, even if one may be expecting a reversal at some point. Currently, 83 out of 500 companies in the S&P 500 have reported earnings with 85.5% beating earnings estimates and 60% beating revenue estimates.
The Asian session looks like it will have strong momentum at the open with all indices expected to open higher. The USD/JPY is close to breaking through 110 after a 0.6% gain in the DXY dollar index overnight. This should be very positive for the Japanese market again today (IG calling it up 1.8% at the open), and investors are also hopeful that there may be some increase in ETF purchases at next week's Bank of Japan meeting.
The ASX finally closed above 5200 for the first time since 4 January, and the next key level in its sights if this momentum continues would be the 5300 level. BHP and RIO's London listings performed well on the FTSE overnight. The iron ore price added another 3%, and the ASX materials and energy sectors look likely to see another strong day. The rally in the Big Four banks did appear to wilt in the second half of the session yesterday, and if the banks begin to fall out of favour again it will make it very difficult for the ASX to hit 5300 given their heavy market capitalisation weighting. MYOB is showing up in our momentum screeners again today, and is joined by Graincorp this time as well.
The ECB is expected to leave their policy settings unchanged at their meeting tonight. Although yesterday's German PPI release will have done little to ease deflation concerns, as it posted the biggest decline seen since January 2010.
Even though poor US housing starts and building permits drove the USD sell off on Tuesday, last night's existing home sales were little better and the USD rallied. The US housing market has not started 2016 well.

Having little experience with PCR I'm at a bit of a loss. Can anyone advise what may cause this:
The PCR appears to have worked OK as the samples that didn't work (COT2 and COT5) were not expected to work.
neg is the negative control
lad is 100bp ladder
I have run this PCR product twice on gel and on both occasions the results have been the same.
Thanks in advance.

Now this I have never seen.
Might this be caused by the pipette tip stabbing into the gel?
Hmmm... a mystery indeed.

Hmmm... a mystery indeed.
May your PCR products be long, your protocols short and your boss on holiday
Posted 26 November 2010 - 12:44 AM
I did wonder whether pipette stabbing gel might have been the cause, but I would expect this to be localised to where the gel might be stabbed - not to all wells on both gels.
Posted 26 November 2010 - 04:12 AM
Fresh buffer and fresh agarose gel appears to have corrected the problem. So could have been either of these or some issue relating to the current which corrected itself overnight after an unplanned power cut to the site.

Bane Of Bedlam are a band from Australia that plays a progressive mixture of death and thrash metal and this is a review of their self released 2013 album "Monument Of Horror".
Acoustic guitars and clean playing starts off the album and after a minute thrash metal style guitar riffing makes its presence known in the music along with some blast beats, melodic leads, and a mixture of screams and growls and all of the musical instruments have a very powerful sound to them.
You can hear a great amount of melody being utilized in the bands musical style and the band also uses a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts as well as adding in elements of groove metal into their musical sound and some of the tracks are very long and epic in length and the acoustic guitars of the first track also make a return in certain sections of the recording and they also enhance the progressive nature of the bands musical style.
Bane Of bedlam go back to the old school styles of death and thrash metal and add a more progressive tinge to them as well as a great amount of groove metal elements which takes these genres into a more modern direction, the productions sounds very professional for being a self released recording while the lyrics cover violent, dark and horror themes.
In my opinion Bane Of Bedlam are a very great sounding mixture of death and thrash metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Woken By The Horde" "Monument Of Horror" and "Vultures Of War". 8 out of 10.

text: David Duncan's career as a photographer has centered on war and Picasso. This, his fourth book on the latter, vividly portrays the irrepressible fecundity of the artist's creative life at his studio home. There, is the baroque formality of Picasso's villa, we find dedicated informality -- children, goats, ceramic clutter, canvases, canvases. And somewhere in almost every scene the brown-eyed faun whom Duncan calls "the freest spirit -- and the most disciplined -- I have ever known." The most celebrated sequence in this intensely alive photobiography shows Picasso mouthing the vertebra of a fish he has just eaten, next eyeing the shape, them making a print mold from it, and finally applying the result to a large plate in a dramatic pattern. The photos, color and black-and-white, are rich in atmosphere.

You can find Primoz on LinkedIn or Twitter. This is our recent interview with him, as part of our Kinsta Kingpin series.
Hi ? thanks for having me!
I'm Primoz Cigler from Slovenia. I first heard about WordPress in 2006 and quickly adopted it for my own blog and that's when I've started poking around with the PHP and other web technologies. After graduating from astrophysics, I steered away from the academic career and (so far) started two WordPress businesses.
I've co-founded ProteusThemes 5 years ago together with a designer Jaka. It's a WordPress theme shop for agencies and freelancers who are building websites for local businesses.
More recently, just 1 month ago, I've started ProteusPay – an ecommerce WP plugin which drastically simplifies selling digital products and subscriptions, especially for EU-based businesses. We've built it out of our own needs for ProteusThemes, but since many people reached out to me and asked about the solution we've refactored the code and released it as a standalone WordPress eCommerce plugin.
Before that, I've been freelancing over the summers when I didn't have school and tried a few other things to earn money online: from selling stock photos to blogging and earning affiliate commissions.
One of the biggest challenges in 2017 was to shift ProteusThemes from being 100% dependent on revenue from the marketplaces to an individual theme shop. We underestimated the efforts of running the theme business and growing it in 2017 in the overly saturated market with some well-established players is very hard.
However, by sticking to high-quality standards and paying attention to the customer's pain points with the current solutions, we've managed to address the right problems and provide the solutions to the problems that WP theme buyers face today.
From my experience, one of the biggest issues is big and bloated multipurpose themes which try to be the right fit for any kind of website. That comes at a cost of a huge codebase, lots of features nobody needs, they are hard to use, break often and are slow as hell. Our team is working hard to understand the key components that make a successful website for a local business. The majority of the added value in our themes doesn't come with features, but with the layouts and designs that are serving the purpose of the business, the theme has been created for. That said, it's easier for an agency to take over the prospect with a proposal of our theme and it takes them less time to implement and deliver the final website.
Instead of bundling all kinds of useless features in the theme itself, we instead ensure the maximum compatibility with a wide variety of plugins. One of the challenges related to this was how to justify the same or even higher prices of our themes compared to the competitors which bundle whatnot in the theme itself. Over time I've realized that our best customers are the ones that have tried several multipurpose themes and realized that it's not what they need.
It sounds funny, but it's easier for us to close the deal with the leads who have been working with the other themes before. They tend to stay longer with us and are in general happier with the approach we take and philosophy we follow.
In general, I'm quite sad that there are so few software engineers in this space. That's especially true in the plugins & themes business. Most of the products are made and maintained by people who know just enough they are capable of putting together a working solution, but not a reliable one. Too many times I've found myself in a situation where I was explaining the industry best practices to people who enjoy the most reputation in this community.
The other positive extreme is how friendly and welcoming the community is in general to everyone.
In comparison to the majority of WordPress business owners, I'm looking forward to seeing the fresh air Gutenberg and 5.0 release will bring to WordPress. I'm sure that the new technology stack will allow WordPress to keep the pace with the rest of the tools available today for creating a website. Hopefully, it will also encourage people who've been completely satisfied with their technical knowledge for the past 10 years to start learning new stuff.
There's lots of potential with the ProteusPay we've just launched. At the moment we're selling the standalone plugin, but that has been only the intermediary step to the final point. I'd like it to transition to SaaS – hosted eCommerce platform – in the next 6 months.
In the current form, it's just a single piece of a larger puzzle, and as such it's interesting only to the people who know how to do all the other stuff (install, setup and maintain WordPress, connect the themes and plugins to play together nicely etc.). By opening up a platform, you're not selling any more to the people who are setting up the website for someone else, but to the people who are using your product directly as-is and gain the direct benefit.
I'm a technical person and I like DevOps. First thing is for sure SSH access with WP-CLI pre-installed or at least an option to install it. Without this, I cannot work efficiently. The second thing is the support, which should be timely and be able to recognize bigger issues quickly and delegate to the right team. The third one is the speed of the stack. Let's Encrypt integration is a big plus.
I'm an addicted windsurfer. I've built the company and the team around the remote-first philosophy, which allows everyone in the team to work location-independently. I go traveling for 2-4 months a year, some other employees spend more time during the summer at a seaside and work from there.
Definitely Greg Priday from SiteOrigin. We use their page builder plugin in all their themes successfully for years now. Their videos as a way of communication are outstanding as well. I have a high level of respect for Greg & the whole SiteOrigin team.
Very nice interview!
Thank you and thanks for reading it!
Great interview, Brian!
Primoz, I just wanted to let you know how much I respect your decision to focus on the design of your themes, instead of loading them up with unnecessary functionality (like way too many of the large, multi-purpose themes do). I agree this is a huge problem in the WordPress world.
Your themes truly are beautiful. And I wish you the best with your new product, ProteusPay. Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts.
Hi Dave,
Thank you for stopping by and reading the interview!
To be honest, it seems that majority of the customers these days want bloated multi-purpose themes because the sales are very concentrated on such themes. However, what you don't want to do in such situation is coming up with the same product as it's already on the market and hoping for the best. Part of our strategy also involves educating the theme buyers and showing them the alternative and why it's better. There will never be a single theme (or any product or service in any space) that would truly be able to satisfy all the needs.
I'm very happy that I've invited my designer & co-founder Jaka to start ProteusThemes together. Without him, our themes would never be such a success. :)

Geography helps you to make sense of the world around you. It is a hands-on, relevant and exciting subject. The GCSE course is a good mix of interesting topics such as tectonics, urban issues, world development, resource management and extreme environments. The course will give you the chance to understand some of the big questions which affect our world and to learn about key social, economic and physical forces and processes which shape and change our world.
Geography is an academic subject, recognised by employers and universities for its broad skill base, hence its inclusion in the English Baccalaureate. It also has a very practical side, with opportunities to learn new skills such as GIS, map skills, interpreting photographs, problem solving, and thinking skills. You will improve your literacy through written work and will make practical use of your numeracy skills when you interpret data and construct graphs.
Fieldwork, or working outside the classroom, is a really important part of geography. You will experience at least two days of fieldwork ranging from the coast to more urban environments. In addition, the Geography Department offers an extra-curricular annual international trip, to help you develop and extend your wider world knowledge.
So if you enjoy asking questions and understanding what is going on in the world around you, then choosing GCSE Geography could be a very good option for you!
'This exciting course is based on a balanced framework of physical and human geography. It allows you as students to investigate the link between the two themes, and approach and examine the battles between the man-made and natural worlds.' AQA, 2016.

Allowing 'Revisibility' in Decision-Making
Throughout this series of posts (1, 2, 3, 4), we have considered two main issues. First, how can evidence and evaluation be shaped to be made more useful - that is, directly useable - in guiding decision-makers to initiate, modify, scale-up or drop a program? Or, as recently pointed out by Jeff Hammer, how can we better evaluate opportunity costs between programs, to aid in making decisions. Second, given that evidence will always be only part of policy/programmatic decision, how can we ensure that decisions are made (and perceived to be made) fairly?
For such assurance, we primarily rely on Daniels' framework for promoting "accountability for reasonableness" (A4R) among decision-makers. If the four included criteria are met, Daniels argues, it brings legitimacy to deliberative processes and, he further argues, consequent fairness to the decision and coherence to decisions over time.
The first two criteria set us up for the third: first, decision-makers agree ex ante to constrain themselves to relevant reasons (determined by stakeholders) in deliberation and, second, make public the grounds for a decision after the deliberation. These first two, we argue, can aid organizational learning and coherence in decision-making over time by setting and using precedent over time - an issue that has been bopping around the blogosphere this week.

text: DigitalOMGPOP Launches a Social, Virtual Goods Version of Missile CommandBy Christopher Mack|March 24, 2010ShareBy Christopher Mack|March 24, 2010ShareThe folks over at the quasi-social gaming portal, OMGPOP are looking to tap into 80's nostalgia with a remake of an old Atari title, Missile Command — but with a few social additions.Perhaps the premise of Missile Command should be dubbed "remake," with an emphasis on the quotations, because the core of the game is no different from the 1980 original. As a matter of fact, neither or the visuals, really. Okay, yeah, they have better color. But otherwise the game essentially has flat, simplistic missiles falling from the sky, on a single-gradient background, striking a flat gray ground. As for the game play, the object is to shoot down these falling enemy missiles with your own missiles, launched from a static, but rotating, turret.As players proceed through a level, the missiles gradually fall faster and more frequently, until it becomes a frantic shoot out of nuclear proportions (yes, there is a nuke). Upon destroying each missile, the occasional energy boost, a triangle-shaped thing, drops, and a simple mouse-over will pick it up. This energy is then used to upgrade various elements such as reload rate, missile speed, blast radius, etc.Now this is where the game starts to get interesting. As the player reaches new levels, more than just missiles attack you (odd looking spaceships, for example). Obviously, if the missiles hit you, you lose health, and in higher difficulties this can happen extremely fast. To mitigate this, players can use the OMGPOP Coins to instantly reload all of their missiles (otherwise, the game gradually reloads one missile every second or two), nuke everything on screen, or heal yourself to full. These each cost 20, 500, and 1000 coins respectively.Frankly, this is a brilliant idea. While coins can be earned through playing games or answering questions on the site, they are also the primary monetization method for OMGPOP — purchasable via PayPal, offers, and so on. Yes, they are used to buy virtual goods for users' profiles and whatnot, but in the middle of a frantic game, users don't have time to think about spending these coins. The average train of thought is going to be along the lines of "I'm about to die!" and they will simply react. Furthermore, the "reload" for missiles is the spacebar, so it's even more reactionary, as with most games on the computer, the two most commonly used buttons for non-movement are left-click and spacebar. Hitting it is reflexive, so spending those Coins is, too.What also makes the game more interesting, and further plays into this reactionary spending, is that games can have up to seven individuals playing together. Obviously, this adds to the chaos, but it is a lot more fun to play with friends and defend your base together. Furthermore, more chaos means less thought, and more reaction, thus leading to more spending. The only problem is, that with more people, and higher levels, there are so many things happening on screen that some people's computers might lock up and not allow anything.Unfortunately, the game itself, while amusing, gets old pretty fast. Missile Command was made during the 1980s, and frankly, this version still feels about the same. The use of the OMGPOP currency in this game is smart, but it's not clear what will keep players coming back time and time again. Sharehttp://adweek.it/2khnznK copy Adweek Adweek

"Operation Beef Jerky is a way to show our support (for) the troops in Afghanistan," said employee Vera Sandiford.
The employees at DeLuca Toyota want help stuffing a Toyota Sequoia with donated food and toiletries as part of "Operation Beef Jerky."
"Operation Beef Jerky is a way to show our support (for) the troops in Afghanistan," said Vera Sandiford, a DeLuca Toyota employee.
Sandiford spearheaded the drive to help her daughter-in-law, Michelle. Her brother, U.S. Marine Master Sgt. Joseph Edwards, is serving in Afghanistan on the front lines and told his sister the troops needed basic items.
Michelle Sandiford's husband, John, is parts manager at the dealership.
Edwards, 38, is a 20-year career Marine and sniper instructor, Michelle Sandiford said.
The cargo area of one Toyota SUV has been turned into a collection point in the dealership showroom for items including beef jerky, Slim Jims, crackers, Jif to Go (individual packs), Bumble Bee Tuna Salad with crackers (ready to eat), nuts, trail mix, soup, chips, health shakes and individual water flavoring packets.
Baby wipes and other individual toiletry items are also sought.
DeLuca Toyota owner/president Frank DeLuca said a need was seen and the dealership was trying to help fill it.
Office staffers Sandy Ingraham, Betty Bishop, Tina Cigan, Vicki Williams, Sandy Cray, Kelly Hars, Pam Stern, Heather Richardson, Debra Knowd, Tiffany Johnson, Wanda Leonard and Stephanie Harris all helped to organize and promote the drive, which also goes by the name "A Taste of Home."
"We hope to fill the cargo area many times over and mail the items through the post office as soon as possible because of the time frame — at least a week — for packages to arrive," Vera Sandiford said.
Hars said she put the drive on her Facebook page, while Bishop said she had a son who plans to join the Navy upon graduation from high school.
At the center of the SUV's cargo area is a tribute photo of Robert Blair of Ocala, who died during military service in Iraq in 2006.
Michelle Sandiford indicated that this special drive, which runs through this week but may be extended, might also serve as a reminder.
"Some people get tied up in their daily activities and tend to forget there's still a war going on. Americans are fighting for our freedoms; the freedoms are not just because we are lucky," Michelle Sandiford said.

Putting Your Best Pharmacoeconomic Evidence Forward
As the HTA requirements for local reimbursement submissions continue to evolve, it is crucial that your market access team has an in-depth understanding of how to successfully develop a local submission dossier. The objective of this meeting is to participate to gain insight into key methodological requirements for pharmaeconomic studies submitted to Zorginstituut Nederland for reimbursement appraisal.
The Agenda
A general overview of the ZiN requirements for a successful submission of pharmacoeconomic evidence is presented.
European collaboration on relative effectiveness assessments has received a lot of attention recently. This collaboration may impact evidence requirements on a local/national level substantially. Moreover, other relevant developments in early access of new pharmaceuticals as part of adaptive pathways will also affect these HTA evidence requirements. In this presentation both developments are linked and discussed in relation to the needs and requirements of the local/national authorities.
An overview of the appropriate methods for gathering evidence will be presented, followed by methods for evidence synthesis such as (standard) meta-analysis, indirect treatment comparison (ITC) and network meta-analysis (NMA). Terminology, assumptions, validity, methods (frequentist vs. Bayesian) and interpretation of results are discussed.
During this session, guidance is provided on the interpretation of indirect treatment comparisons and network meta-analysis to assist professionals in using its findings for incorporation into health economic models used for submissions. Furthermore, advice is provided on how to critically review evidence synthesis with a view on informing local requirements.
The requirements for economic modeling studies as set-forth by ZiN is discussed alongside common pitfalls to be avoided when submitting health economic models.
During this session, key challenges with adapting core models for the Dutch setting are discussed. The experiences from a market access manager perspective and Mapi is also presented along with insights into how to overcome the risks to a successful model adaptation.
This Patient-Centered Research Workshop was presented on April 23 2015, in Maarsen. Mapi and industry experts including Dr. Wim Goettsch (EUNetHTA/GetReal), Peter Fassler (AbbVie B.V.), and Dr. Maiwenn Al (Eramus University Rotterdam) shared their experience and expertise with attendees from across the industry. We would love to present this workshop for your team or at your tradeshow. To find out more, contact Mapi at email@example.com
