We've got a huge episode this week. Actress, writer, director Heather Graham sits down with April to talk about the salacious Fatal Attraction. The two of them discuss relating to Glenn Close's character, even though she is technically the villain. Heather elaborates on her experience directing her debut feature, Half Magic. She discusses getting the movie made, the inspiration behind it, and how she decided to include a "vagina empowerment" class in the film. She also dives into her acting career; being directed by Paul Thomas Anderson and David Lynch, working with a ton of men who have been accused of sexual harassment, and finding her desire to direct. Plus, Drea Clark stops by to talk with April about the MaxFunDrive.

For five seasons, Stephanie Beatriz has starred on the hit fox show Brooklyn Nine Nine. It's for real one of our favorites, everyone's great in it - Terry Crews, Andy Samberg, Chelsea Peretti. Stephanie plays Detective Rosa Diaz. And Rosa is easily the toughest cop in the precinct - she's brave, she's serious, she rides a motorcycle.
Now, Stephanie is starring in a brand new movie. It's called The Light of The Moon. In it, Stephanie plays Bonnie, a young woman living in Brooklyn with her boyfriend. Towards the beginning of the film she goes through a vicious sexual assault. And from there, the movie tells the story of the aftermath of that event - its effect on her work life, her relationships… even little stuff - like whether or not she wears headphones when she's walking off the subway. It's a little brutal to watch, but it's also nuanced, realistic and really touching.
Stephanie's talks with Jesse about all that and more from NPR's studios in New York.
A quick warning - the second half of this interview contains some honest and frank talk about sexual assault and the trauma dealing with it.

Griffin Dunne is mainly an actor. Recently he starred alongside Kathryn Hahn in the Amazon series I Love Dick. He was also in the Dallas Buyers Club, an American Werewolf in London, and in the 1985 Scorsese classic After Hours.
He's also a director - and just released his first ever documentary. It's a biography of his aunt, Joan Didion, one of the most critically acclaimed contemporary writers.
Didion rose to fame for her journalism - she immersed herself in stories. In the late 60s, she broke through with Slouching Towards Bethlehem. In her career she covered a bunch of different stuff - the counter culture, war, immigration. She also wrote a handful of novels, a couple memoirs.
She's lead a fascinating life, but until now, there hadn't been a documentary about her. She's pretty private - doesn't give a lot of interviews, either.
The film is called Joan Didion: The Center Will Not Hold, and it's available on Netflix now. Dunne gives us an intimate look at one of the most compelling thinkers alive. It talks about her impact on journalism, her works of fiction too. Dunne also focuses a lot on one of the biggest tragedies to strike Didion's life: in 2003, her husband John Dunne died of a heart attack. Not long after that she also lost daughter, Quintana Roo Dunne.

Finally, for this week's Outshot, Jesse plugs the Dana Carvey Show - possibly the funniest thing to ever follow Home Improvement on ABC.

During this test, the standby generator kicked in when a main compressor started, lighting up the alarm panel and calling into question the design of the power management system.
No ship is ever perfect, and the objective is to ensure the list of defects is as small as is operationally conscionable for the operating crew. PN65 sets the standard for the following sister-ships.
Delivery is now scheduled for 2nd July, over a month past the contract date - not an auspicious start. First cargo will be iron ore for China, after a quick stop in Singapore to bunker. The AM is planning to join her in Australia for the first loading and see how she and the crew performs. Sea trial data has proven speed, deadweight and the performance of the main engine. With the valve and fuel pumps on the engine hydraulically actuated, there is no rhythmic clatter of camshafts. The engine and turbocharger just roar.
Now that the AM has learned how to insert clips, a short sequence as PN65 returns to the Yard in June after trials.

Christmas Travel Deals
by Jessica
October 11th, 2011
Christmas is one of the holidays many people consider synonymous with travel. For some, it means an annual trek home to see family. For others, it's an excellent excuse to visit a new destination and celebrate the holiday in their style. Either way, it's a season when enough people are traveling that it means you've got to do a bit of research in advance to prepare.
One of the main things that advance research helps with is the cost of travel at Christmas time – by doing your homework and booking in advance you're more likely to save money on a ticket. But there are other things you can do ahead of time to prepare for Christmas travel that will make the trip less stressful – and we've covered all those topics in the articles linked below.
For more holiday travel tips, don't miss these collections, too:
>> Christmas falls on a Tuesday in 2012
How to Find Cheap Christmas Airfare
Finding a good deal on airfare is always cause for celebration, but when you're already trying to figure out if you can afford to buy gifts for all 13 cousins and their umpteen gazillion kids? Yeah, saving a few bucks on your flight is even better news then.
Unfortunately, there's a big block of the calendar in December when flying is just going to be more expensive than it is at other times of the year (especially in winter) – the airlines know you have to fly, so it's understandable that they'd raise the prices. But there are ways to find cheaper flights, and we've got them outlined in this article.
>> Read about how to find cheap airfare at Christmas
Worst and Best Days to Travel at Christmas
Although the calendar isn't as specific around Christmas travel as it is around Thanksgiving travel, there are still days when it's better to fly than others. And by "better," I mean the days when the airport is going to be a little less crowded and airline tickets are going to cost a little less, both of which qualify as "better" in my book.
Again, the drop in price from the worst to the best days to travel at Thanksgiving is probably going to be more significant than the days around Christmas, but every little bit helps, right?
>> Read more about which ones are the best and worst days to fly at Christmas
Christmas Travel Tips for the Airport
Flying at any point over the Christmas holiday can be a royal pain – the airports are overcrowded and weather delays are more common. And although some of the tips we brought you about surviving the airport at Thanksgiving are the same ones that hold true at Christmas, there are circumstances at Christmas that make things like traveling carry-on only significantly more challenging (if not impossible).
So, here's a list of tips for surviving the airport at Christmas, taking those special situations into consideration. There are some things in here you should probably do on every trip to the airport, but they're even more important during the busy holiday season.
>> Read more about Christmas travel airport tips
Alternative Airports to Major U.S. Hubs
When you're looking for an airfare bargain, every door is worth opening – so don't rule out flying into or out of an airport that isn't the main airport for that city. Many cities around the country (especially the bigger hub airports) have multiple airports that actually serve them. Including these other nearby airports in your search for airline tickets could help you find a great deal.
In particular, these other airports are sometimes cheaper to use because they're the ones that the discount airlines fly in and out of. Just as long as there's adequate public transportation (or you have your transportation already sorted out), a secondary airport could be your ticket to a cheaper ticket.
>> Read more about the alternate airports to big U.S. hubs
Budget Airlines in the U.S.
Along with the big airlines that most of us are familiar with – carriers like American Airlines, United, or Continental – there are several discount airlines operating in the United States that could make a huge difference on the amount you pay for your airline ticket, whether it's Christmas or not. These airlines might fly into some of those alternate airports discussed in the article linked above, and they may only serve a portion of the country, but it's worth looking at them to see if they could save you some money.
It's also important to note that some of these budget carriers don't let their fares show up in search results of the big booking engines, so unless you visit their sites specifically you could miss out on them entirely.
>> Read more about the discount airlines in the U.S.
Budget Airlines in Canada
We haven't forgotten our northern neighbors, and neither have the budget airlines! In truth, there aren't as many big discount carriers in Canada as there are in the U.S., but there are a few worth noting. Also, some of the small regional airlines that only serve certain parts of the country (hence the name "regional") may have lower prices on flights to and from where you're going. In any case, it's always worth checking.

There is a fundamental gap in our understanding of how HIV-1 maintains latency in astrocytes. This gap denotes a significant problem, because, unless this gap is filled, understanding the molecular mechanisms of HIV-1 latency leading to HIV-associated dementia (HAD) cannot be achieved. Furthermore, the knowledge required to develop novel therapeutic strategies for HAD patients will remain largely unknown. The long-term goal is to understand the molecular mechanisms that contribute to HIV-1 latency in the brain and develop a therapeutic strategy to combat HIV. The objective of this application is to determine the role of Natural Killer Lytic-Associated Molecule (NKLAM) in the post-transcriptional regulation of HIV-1 gene expression. The central hypothesis of this application is that NKLAM synergizes with Sam68 and alleviates a post-transcriptional block to HIV-1 production in astrocytes. The hypothesis has been formulated from the strong preliminary data, demonstrating that NKLAM interacts with Sam68, which in turn, regulates HIV-1 Rev function in astrocytes. The rationale for the proposed project is that, once the role of NKLAM in the HIV-1 life cycle is understood, its production can be modulated in such a way that impacts HIV-1 production in the prevention and treatment of AIDS, including HAD. Guided by the preliminary data, the central hypothesis will be tested to accomplish the objective of this application by pursuing the following two specific aims: 1) Determine the functional significance of NKLAM in HIV-1 replication. The working hypothesis is that NKLAM relieves a post-transcriptional block to HIV-1 production in astrocytes. Under this aim, stable NKLAM expressing astrocytes will be created and assessed for the alleviation of Rev block and HIV-1 production by examining viral mRNA export. 2) Investigate the mechanism of action of NKLAM in Sam68/RRE-mediated transactivation. The working hypothesis is that NKLAM must act in the nucleus to synergize with Sam68. Employing mutational, microscopic and ubiquitination analyses, the mechanism of action of NKLAM in Sam68/Rev/RRE function will be determined. The proposed work is innovative, because, so far, no E3 ubiquitin ligase(s), specifically NKLAM, has been implicated in the post-transcriptional regulation of HIV-1 gene expression. Most importantly, to date, there are no published reports implicating, any E3 ligase(s), particularly, NKLAM- mediated Sam68 ubiquitination in alleviating the Rev block in astrocytes. The proposed research is significant because it is expected to provide the knowledge needed to develop novel strategies to eliminate HIV-1 reservoirs and combat HAD.
The proposed research is relevant to public health, because, determining the role of NKLAM in HIV-1 replication is eventually expected to increase our understanding of the molecular basis of HIV-1 latency operating at the level of post-transcription in astrocytes. Therefore, the proposed research is relevant to the part of NIH's mission that relates to the knowledge needed to develop novel therapeutic strategies for HAD patients.

Surgical procedure for carriageways.
Or another sign of an overpaid and under stressed beuracracy
Maybe the contractors who wield power over the process consider themselves civil surgeons, and price their services accordingly.
As for the actual teams who perform this rehab process; maybe they too hold a status usually reserved for some other practitioner of another arcane artform, like...hiway men. Best known for their ability to ply their trade on the Kings hiway.
Which trade? You may well ask.
The one that extracts the most return for the least amount of effort. Extortion, I believe it's called.
Far be it for me to decry any mans attempts to earn an honest days wage. Or suggest any form of collusion twixt johnny and his master.
But read the budget lines and wonder at the costs.
Then ask youself where the money goes.

22nd Annual Bank Capital Management
Strategic capital management at group and entity level to improve performance at a time of heightened regulatory requirements, particularly from 'Basel IV'
19-21 September 2018
Marriott West India Quay, London, United Kingdom
- Conference Workshop
Integrated stress testing and economic capital modelling
Begin to address the harmonisation of your capital and liquidity functions: Integrated stress testing and economic capital modelling.
Workshop Moderator: Ahraz Sheikh
Company: Independent Consultant
- Why You Should Attend
22nd Annual Bank Capital Management
This marcus evans conference will look at strategic capital management at group and entity level to improve performance at a time of heightened regulatory requirements particularly from �Basel IV�.
The financial crisis acted as a catalyst for many regulations and the capital management space was certainly an area that could not escape given its relevance. Since 2008, banks were forced to look at their economic capital alongside regulatory capital to see how the two matched. Certainly with the increase in regulation, and the importance regulators placed on holding capital against risk, the cost and demand for capital increased, in turn impacting profit margins and certain business lines. With this in mind, banks searched for strategies to optimise the capital they held, by finding ways to properly manage capital in such an environment to achieve return on equity. Banks are already putting in place granular, entity level plans for both regulations, and some of the bigger and more stable banks are even going a step further by creating innovative plans to achieve capital relief.

Mount Barker Wildlife Gardening
local | attractive | wildlife friendly
What we do in our gardens can either benefit or harm the natural environment around us. By choosing to develop and maintain a garden in a wildlife friendly way it is possible to:
- reduce garden maintenance costs
- decrease gardening and time commitments
- conserve local native plants and animals
- make our urban areas more ecological sustainable
Many popular introduced garden plants have escaped into our native vegetation and waterways and become environmental weeds. Establishing a local native garden reduces this risk and helps to encourage birds, bats, lizards, frogs, butterflies and other insects into the garden.
Enjoying the sight of our unique and precious wildlife using your garden is a real pleasure and a wonderful gift to the future.
Follow the Mount Barker Wildlife Gardening Facebook page for information on wildlife gardening, local garden plants and wildlife in the Mount Barker area.
Wildlife gardening plant offer for residents of Mount Barker District Council
The Mount Barker Wildlife Gardening Plant Offer has now finished. We hope to be able to something similar next season. Please contact Jacqui Wilson – email@example.com if you would like to be notified of future offers.
As part of the Mount Barker Wildlife Gardening Project we are able to offer discounted packs of local native garden plants.
Packs of 20 local native species cost $25 and will be available in autumn 2018. Packs may include trees, groundcovers, shrubs or grasses and can be customised on collection to suit your space.
If you have questions or would like more information please contact Ross on 8536 5612 or email@example.com.
This project is supported by the SA Murray-Darling Basin Natural Resources Management Board through funding from the Australian Government's National Programme and the NRM Levies

UPY Macro - Third
'The passenger' - Filippo Borghi
I was making a sunset dive with the intention of photographing mandarinfish mating, when I spotted this beautiful solar powered nudibranch. I was already busy photographing it when from between its horns this tiny emperor shrimp appeared. Perhaps it was more confident in the fading light?
Judge's comment: Peter Rowlands: This remarkable image gets better and better the larger you view it. With macro it is often tempting to go in close for maximum detail and scale but in this case the symmetry of the main host enhanced by the dominant oral tentacles and the extremely delicate lighting has produced an image which perfectly captures the relationship between these two beautiful creatures.

My name is Žiga, born and raised in Maribor, Slovenia and at the moment I am pursuing MSc in Communication Science at the University of Vienna while working at the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights. As the story goes, I was always fond of adventures, especially if those adventures included travelling and experiencing unknown.
My first big leap towards studying in a foreign country was during my Bachelor's studies, when me and my girlfriend Julija decided to go on an ERASMUS exchange for a semester to the University of Lapland, Finland. Having the opportunity to experience international academic sphere, we both agreed that our academic future lies somewhere abroad. Since I'm a bit older than Julija I've completed my first Master's degree in Law and in the meantime Julija completed her Bachelor's degree in Psychology. Seeking new challenges while feeding our "wanderlust", we decided to move to Vienna, Austria where we are currently both pursuing our Master's degree while working at the same time.
So, the main question that needs to be addressed is; why did we chose Vienna for our studies and work? Usually, Vienna is not a first-choice destination for most Slovenians as majority of Slovenian expats living in Austria tend to stay "closer" to the home; near the Austrian-Slovenian border where Austrian second largest city, Graz is. However, one can notice a lot of Balkan folks around in Vienna, so for those expats who share the memory of former Balkan stew, Yugoslavia, can find a lot of ex-Yugoslavians wondering around the city. So in a way meeting people from Croatia, Serbia and Bosnia certainly evokes some "home" vibes. Moving from Maribor to Vienna was not a big step, geographically speaking, but when it comes to Viennese's charm, well that's quite a step, even for those who are experienced travellers.
However, there is no simple answer to why exactly we chose Vienna for our next study destination and a home, and this is mainly because the reasons behind our decision are somewhat intertwined, so there is no single "because" to "why". Nonetheless, the most prominent reason is that Vienna is considered as the second-best city in the world for people to live in, meaning, that socio-economic standard is higher in comparison to Slovenia, while still being manageable for young expats and students to build a sustainable livelihood. Apart from that, University of Vienna is well known academic-force, with many renown professors and study programmes. So, the decision to enrol into a research degree, focusing on research at the one of the oldest University in Europe, was an easy decision.
Third reason is basically twofold; historical location and geographical location of the Austrian capital city. Vienna is often referred as the cultural melting pot and because of its role throughout history and geographical location, Vienna represents a bridge between Eastern and Western part of the Europe. I would dare to make an argument that its historical role, meeting of cultures and people coming from all parts of the world to work and live in Vienna, fostered high living standards, including scientific advancements, and a good social mobility as education is mostly free for all EU nationals. On top on that, one can find many jobs available for young professionals at the beginning of their careers. And secondly, when it comes to geographical distance, Vienna and my birth town Maribor are not that far from each other; 260 kilometres is the distance that allows you to visit family and friends quite often, and we are always happy to host our friends and family members at our apartment when they drop by to say hello.
In conclusion, Vienna has a lot to offer, both academic and career-wise, and as the saying goes; luck favours the bold. Vienna fits that saying perfectly. After completing our studies, we plan to stay in Vienna a bit longer to develop professionally and to gain more work experience in our domains, but when our "wanderlust" will strike again we're going to be ready to move somewhere else to pursue our out-of-the-box lifestyle (we might even move to Melbourne, I hear that this city is the World's most liveable city…).
So, for all those that are still "on the fence" when it comes to studying and working abroad, this quote by Yahya might trigger your first big leap into the world: "I always wonder why birds choose to stay in the same place when they can fly anywhere on the Earth, then I ask myself the same question."
And if I may add – use your wings and dare to experience the world as it is, because when "the day" is over, you can always return back home to tell the tale of your adventures in the unknown.

Are doGet and doPost methods in servlets thread safe? Should we Synchronize them to make thread safe.
The answer is "NO", the doGet and doPost (any doXyz) methods are not synchronized and thus not thread-safe. However, it is a very bad practice to synchronize these methods for your own servlet classes. The reason is that it reduces the servlet's ability to scale; IOW(In Other Words), to handle large numbers of concurrent requests.
Synchronize the smallest block of code that accesses or modifies a shared memory state. Remember: synchronizing reduces the scalability and at times the responsiveness of your webapp (any application, really) so try to limit or even remove the need for synchronization.
There are six fundamental variable scopes in a webapp. Which of these scopes are truly thread-safe?
- Application (servlet context) scope attributes
- Session scope attributes
- Request scope attributes
- Local method variable (or JSP page scope attributes)
- Servlet instance variable
- Servlet class variable
In general, only the local/method variables and Request scope attributes are thread-safe. Whenever, you access or modify a variable/attribute in any of the other scopes you should synchronize.

Shocking Pinks – S/T
A lightly appealing cover of a pencil sketch gives off the air of indie pop, yet the band name may disagree. I know of a particular personal photo from my younger days where I happened to be wearing a pink Adidas t-shirt and, yes, a pink pair of swim trunks. I was shockingly pink (but unshockingly lacking style … ah well, what can you do). Therefore, this band's moniker had a slight twinge of personal connection, so I had no choice than to pick it up. I also promised to make a mental note to refrain from accidentally coordinating bright colored clothing concoctions in the future. I will leave those for an eighties retro party.
Shocking Pinks are not shocking in their volume or their approach, but hey, it's a fine band name for an indie pop outfit. With its tone of low fi pop, the third album from the one man band Nick Harte is filled with songs that range from casual pieces of softness to fervent chaos. I suppose one there's only one person running the show there's no reason not to do whatever that person wants. It's clear that Harte knows this well.
"Second Hand Girl" is a fantastic pop song that reminds me of some Slanted & Enchanted-era Pavement with its catchy guitar and the unimposing vocals from Nick Harte. There's only about eight lines of lyrics, so most of the song is made up of the band going at it and allowing the listener to create the visual story in their heads. The lengthy "Cutout" instrumental tune is also quite good, if only because its quick and pretty collection of sounds doesn't include any interruption from lyrics.
"Yes! No!" is at first engaging yet doesn't execute well. The brooding synthesizer tones, in conjunction with the consistent drum pattern, gives the tune an ominous feeling early on. Unfortunately, Harte's voice comes across as too hurried and whiny when trying to keep up with the song's pace. Combined with some uncomfortable sounds between verses makes this tune a "No!" for me.
One tune that struck me as something that Harte could excel at if he stuck with it is "You Could Make Me Feel Bad", which combines his creative instrumentation as well as a good utilization of his vocals through subdued echos. Indeed, the track sounds like a Jesus and Mary Chain concoction, but as the last track of the album it leaves a good impression of what Harte is capable of. Actually, the entire record does. It would be a matter of finding out which styles he prefers to hang onto from here on out.
Shocking Pinks have a MySpace page and, ah, that's about it. Well, maybe websites are passe.
I can appreciate a guy like Harte who is talented enough to play multiple instruments and compose pretty pop songs. Not all of them are my thing, but I can see where someone who likes his somewhat fey voice and musicianship might like most of the record. Shocking Pinks actually haven't put out anything since this record, so it remains to be seen if Harte emerges with the same or a different group. All I know is that I'm not emerging at any point whatsoever in my shocking pink outfit of old. Okay, okay, show me the dollars.
The Datsuns – Self-Titled
You pull out this record and you tell me you're not digging that album cover? Say what? Look, there's some raggedy-haired guys on the top of their band name aaaand they're raggedy on the bottom too! Speaking honestly, I like that black-and-white mirror effect. Considering they likely named themselves after the sporty Datsun roadster, there isn't much of a conclusion to make other than that these guys are a rock 'n roll band. What do you know, I like that stuff.
Based out of New Zealand, the debut from the Datsuns is everything one can expect from a debut garage rock band anywhere. They make lots of noise, they prove they have plenty of energy, and they certainly wish to make an audio impact. You have heard these guys before in other bands, but perhaps the fact that they're from New Zealand will sway you that these guys are different from the usual American spinoffs.
The record begins with force as one might expect from a band that is out to prove itself to your ears. "Sittin' Pretty" begins with an excellent guitar riff that drums up steadily to a blazing speed. It's a great three minute intro to a slew of similar three minute songs. However, Dolf De Borst's vocals increase from mid-range to higher ranges as each song progresses. By the time the listener gets to "Harmonic Projector", De Borst with a flutter in his voice. Oh man. The band thankfully exacts its powerful strength to drown him out a bit in "What Would I Know", which showcases the group in its first prolonged rock effort. Finally, the Datsuns have stepped it up a bit.
De Borst gets a little screamy after awhile on "At Your Touch" and "Fink For the Man", which doesn't diminish from the power groove the band puts on. Still, you would think De Borst wouldn't have to sound like his fingers got caught in a car door to get the zeal across. As De Borst's voice gets higher and higher one starts to tune him out as over-excessive. Plus, after repeated listens of "Fink" one will wonder if the guy finally pops into an explosion of bloody guts. Hey, it's possible. Really though … could use less scream, pal.
Despite the somewhat pedestrian first half of the record, the Datsuns really excel near the end. By this time one has heard everything they could have thrown at the listener, so usually bands just regurgitate the same stuff or try to get artsy with a few quirky tunes that everyone inevitably hates. The Datsuns choose to ramp it up even louder. The songs "In Love", "You Build Me Up (to Bring Me Down)" and the epic "Freeze Sucker" act as ignition/blastoff that sends the band off into rockout space. These are really good tunes, and "Freeze Sucker" doesn't get dull even after six minutes. Regardless of what one thinks of the album as a whole, at least the Datsuns know what gets us to listen in the first place.
Listen to them on MySpace and read all about them on their website if you'd like.
Although the Datsuns' debut is definitely a good time, they may not stand out as something one would pursue. One might even say these guys were simply part of that Jet/Hives wave of garage revival and never caught on because they got drowned out from the rest of the long-haired rockers. However, the Datsuns are still making records and touring in New Zealand! That's got to mean something, eh? At least they're big somewhere and are influencing youth to form their own garage bands. Perhaps this means that some kind of new AC/DC will be sprung upon us in the near future thanks to these guys. Oh never mind, they're Australian… some other famed New Zealand rock band, then.
The D4 – 6Twenty
New Zealand. Quick, name two bands from that country. And no, the New Zealanders don't count and neither does We Ain't Aussies, though there may be a band by those names already. Yet here we are with a group called the D4, who look like they could really be from everywhere given their simple t-shirts, haircuts, and tattoos. But wait, there is a guy with a mutton chop hair thing going on, so perhaps that could have tipped me off that they weren't from around here. Regardless of their look, the exceptionally sharp red and black contrast is a real eye-jarring look that at least makes one think that the band might be edgy. That, or they knew there were color contrast suckers like me.
The band doesn't waste too much time colliding into your senses with its extremely rushed "RnR MF" opener, which you can easily interpret despite the acronyms. There isn't much to distinguish this song from, say, every garage punk song you've heard before. The singer prefers to blend in with the band and doesn't make any real attempt at standing out with vocal displays. The band also likely wouldn't let him take a dramatic breath either, for they just pound through each song once "RnR MF" is quickly over. Songs like "Get Loose", "Come On!" and "Invader Ace" all have that max excitement element, but one would be hard pressed to depict which song is better than the others. Once "Heartbreaker" rolls around the band finally decides to utilize the slow build up.
Arguably the best song on the record, "Heartbreaker" begins with a riff that may have been ripped from Devo's "Mongoloid", but it is quite welcome considering the blitzkrieg the listener has just been through. The band takes its time getting to the chorus, which you know is coming with a bang, and finally delivers with an escalation of the lead vocalist, a pair of guitars, and some backing vocals to boot. Great song. The band varies its approach after that song with a more bluesy "Ladies Man" and a New York Dolls-tinged "Pirate Love". They actually slow down a bit compared to the blast off at the beginning of the record, so it is almost as if the band wanted to keep you interested initially as long as possible before trying to delve into slightly more creative compositions. It still mostly sounds the same throughout, which is cut and dry garage rock.
Check out a few tunes from these guys on their MySpace page.
Well, it is understandable that this band has found its debut record in so many dollar bins. It is a perfectly fine rock record that typifies the modern genre and will get one's energy up. However, it is completely indistinguishable from records that have come before it. There's nothing wrong with developing a similar sound to past bands, but it certainly doesn't get anyone to think twice about letting the record go when it comes to making a choice. The band has not let this mass dump off get to them at the time, though, for they did manage to release another record in 2005. It does seem that they haven't done anything more recently, so that may be it for the brash D4. They may not do much for the seasoned rock fan, but if there's someone younger who you know is just exploring this rabid garage sound, it's worth a cheap gift.

SMU Dance Marathon raises funds For the Kids at local CMN Hospital
This blog was written by Kimi Rose, founder of Southern Methodist University Dance Marathon and SMU student.
Three letters. One meaning. FTK.
For The Kids – These words mean so much to me. From the founding of SMU Dance Marathon's executive board to the actual event, Dance Marathon has made its mark on SMU's campus.
Nov.12, as a first-year organization, SMU Dance Marathon raised $32,221.52 for the kids at Children's Health, the local Children's Miracle Network Hospital in Dallas, Texas. We danced for twelve hours – learning the morale dance, playing dodgeball, participating in a rave hour and also competing in a lip sync battle. At one point, SMUDM even participated in the Mannequin Challenge, which was fun for all dancers and Miracle Kids involved.
In those 12 hours, we met seven amazing miracle families, who all shared their stories and inspired the dancers to keep dancing, no matter what. It was worth it to see the smiles on their faces and to hear how Children's Health provides the best possible care for those Miracle Kids. Each heartfelt story reminded us why we do this. FTK. For the kids. Always and in all ways.
A group of SMU students had a vision and brought that dream to life a year later. It's amazing to see how college students can impact their community when they work together to achieve a common goal.
SMUDM has officially made its mark with by raising more than $32,000 for Children's Health. And we're excited what success the event will bring in following years!

NYC --- A new graffiti abatement program put forth by the police commissioner has beat cops carrying cans of spray paint to fill in and cover graffiti artists work in an effort to clean up the city --> Many cops are thinking it's a waste of resources, but we're waiting to see someone make a project of it. Maybe instructions for the cops on where to fill-in?
The NYPD is arming its cops with cans of spray paint and giving them art-class-style lessons to tackle the scourge of urban graffiti, The Post has learned.
Shootings are on the rise across the city, but the directive from Police Headquarters is to hunt down street art and cover it with black, red and white spray paint, sources said... READ ON

SAN FRANCISCO --- We've been street skating in San Francisco since the early 90s- dodging police and getting kicked out of spots waiting for the city to build a nice skatepark. They did build 2 great parks, Crocker and Potrero, but those parks cater to transition skaters but nothing for us street skaters... till now.
San Francisco is set to open the amazing looking little Soma Skate Plaza which looks a bit cramped, but who's complaining since it's a few blocks from FFDG and Fecal Face.
We peeked in on Monday night, and it looks like they're just about finished. Looks super fun good times. --> Hey, did you know Tony Hawk donated 10K for it?
Our friends, the talented artists Mario Ayala and Martin Machado, will be participating in the group show It Was Nature at San Francisco's Haight & Ashbury based RVCA opening Friday evening 5/16 (6-9pm) ~show details
d0ntb33vil --- A new media art installation by local artist, Harris David Harris exploits a loophole in wireless networks at Google and Facebook bus stops in San Francisco.
Over the past two weeks, bus riders' devices automatically connected to Harris's routers while waiting for the bus. Instead of granting internet access, riders see a animated image of the sidewalk before them.

SAN FRANCISCO --- For 37 years, the Flax art supply store has held its ground near the corner of Market and Valencia, a crossroads where the North Mission heads toward the eastern edge of the Castro district.
Now third-generation store owner Howard Flax is going to have to move. He's the fallout of a development plan to replace his store with a nine-story, 160-unit condo building.
"We were given plenty of notice by the developer. We are looking for a new space in San Francisco comparable to what we have. Given the real estate market, we might have to downsize a little bit," said Flax, who followed his father, Herman, and grandfather, Phillip, at the helm of the store, whose current home is known for its distinctive tilted-letter sign. ~continue reading

It's tax season. Did you just shiver?
Filing tax returns on your own can be – to put it lightly – a nightmare. Luckily, you can hire a tax preparer to do it all for you.
A tax professional will not only take care of the calculations and administrative tasks needed for filing a return on time, but is well-versed in tax reform laws, ways to catch tax breaks, and deadlines. Sounds great – but it can be easy to fall for the lofty promises of fraudulent preparers and compromise your financial information. Check for these six qualities to make sure your tax pro is qualified and the best for you:
1. A Preparer Tax Identification Number (PTIN): Anyone who prepares or assists in preparing federal tax returns for compensation is required to have a valid Preparer Tax Identification Number (PTIN). A PTIN helps to track a return preparer in case of fraud, so make this a priority on your checklist.
2. Qualifications and creds: Don't know where to look for a tax pro? Qualified tax preparers with a PTIN can be found in the IRS Directory of Federal Tax Return Preparers. In this directory, you can also search through professional credentials (e.g. Enrolled Agents and Attorneys) or those who have obtained an Annual Filing Season Program Record of Completion from the IRS.
3. A good track record: Even if you choose from the IRS directory, check the preparer's background, history, and reputation before moving forward. Here are some reputable sites to do conduct that research:
- Better Business Bureau
- Federal Trade Commission
- National Association of State Board of Accountancy (for CPAs)
- State Bar Association (for attorneys)
- IRS's "Verify the Status of an Enrolled Agent" (for enrolled agents)
4. Fee structure (and amounts): Scammers often base their service fee on a percentage of the client's refund. To increase their fee, they manipulate information on your tax return for a bigger refund. That spells trouble for you down the road with the IRS. Avoid return preparers who use this refund-based rate or charge a hidden fee after being hired. Trust your instincts – if it seems too good to be true, it is. By signing the tax return, you take full responsibility for the information reported.
5. Reliable review process: Your tax preparer must include their PTIN and sign the return before handing it over to you. It's important that you review your tax return for accuracy and alert the preparer of any possible mistakes. Only sign your return when you are happy with the information reported. If you're expecting a refund, check the routing and bank account number on the completed return to ensure that it'll go directly to your bank account (and not the preparer's).
6. E-filing option: For safe processing of your tax return, make sure the preparer offers e-filing, or the ability to submit online. This will help to limit your exposure to identity theft, as the IRS will alert you if a second return has been filing under your SSN.
Now that you know where to start, it's time to get hiring and filing. The team at Tax Defense Network knows how to process even the most complicated of individual and business tax returns. All you have to do is provide the appropriate documentation and financial information to your dedicated preparer while we do all the heavy lifting.

Comparative in vitro antimicrobial susceptibility and synergistic activity of antimicrobial combinations against Helicobacter pylori isolates in Taiwan

Background and purpose:
Antimicrobial resistance is a major determinant of Helicobacter pylori treatment failures. We conducted a population-based survey to monitor changing antimicrobial susceptibility of H. pylori isolates in Taiwan, with a focus on combinatorial effects of synergism and the influence of acidity.
H. pylori isolates from endoscopic specimens taken from patients enrolled at two medical centers were obtained between January 2008 and December 2009. Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) were determined by agar dilution and Etest methods. Agar media of varying pH (pH 7.3, 6.0, or 5.0) were used to assess whether acidity influences the bactericidal effects of the agents tested. Time-kill assays were used to assess for synergism between different drug combinations.
A total of 176 non-duplicate H. pylori isolates from endoscopic specimens were tested. The following MIC90 (mg/L) (susceptible) results were obtained at neutral pH 7.3: amoxicillin, 0.25 (100%); tetracycline, 0.5 (100%); metronidazole, 32 (67.6%); clarithromycin, 0.25 (90.3%); ciprofloxacin, 1 (92.0%); gemifloxacin, 0.5 (94.9%); levofloxacin, 1 (93.2%); and moxifloxacin, 1 (91.5%). A decrease in pH from 6.0 to 5.0 significantly decreased the antimicrobial activity of levofloxacin and moxifloxacin against H. pylori. For clarithromycin-susceptible isolates, levofloxacin combined with clarithromycin provided both synergistic and bactericidal effects. For clarithromycin-resistant isolates with amoxicillin hypersusceptibility (MIC <0.01 mg/L), levofloxacin with amoxicillin or minocycline had at best additive effect but no bactericidal effects.
Amoxicillin, tetracycline, clarithromycin, and fluoroquinolones, but not metronidazole, showed good in vitro anti-H. pylori activity (>90% susceptible). Synergism was only observed for clarithromycin-susceptible isolates. Acidity adversely influenced the antimicrobial activity of levofloxacin against H. pylori.
Key words:
Acidity, Antibiotic combination, Antimicrobial activity, Helicobacter pylori, Microbial susceptibility, Minimum inhibitory concentration

How APC can rig 2019 Elections if they want – APGA
The Delta state chapter of the All progressives grand alliance, APGA has openly stated that the ruling ALL Progressives Congress, APC could rig the 2019 general elections.
The party made this statement while condemning ruling parties in various states for interfering with the local government elections.
APGA revealed that the rigging was carried out by electoral commissions setup by the state government. The leader of the Delta chapter of APGA, Dr. Uvie Uwanogho described the development as a 'civilian coup'
"There cannot be free and fair elections in Nigeria without the active participation of the political parties in the management and supervision of elections.
The various state electoral commissions and the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC will always do the bidding of their paymasters.That is why in local elections, usually, the ruling party in the state "wins" all the seats. Checkout Lagos, Kano, Akwa Ibom, Kwara, Delta and Edo LGA elections.
If APC at the national level wants to rig the coming elections, it is my belief that nothing can stop them because we have left the planning and supervision of the electoral process to appointees of government."

Well, I have to take a shot on AnoHana where it involves the Super Peace Busters remembering their childhood days and growing up together… That's until their friend Meiko "Menma" Honma died on that day!
Now, this moe character appeared as a ghost where she haunts Jinta "Jintan" Yadomi on granting her a wish. Nevertheless, Ano Hana is gonna be a tearjerker even though it's an original anime series made by A-1 Pictures!
BTW, I think I'll drop Ao no Exorcist… It's not getting on to me in my opinion!

- Wi-Fi is spotty to non-existent in many guest rooms

Bottom Line
This 346-room all-inclusive, family-friendly upscale hotel is situated along the Nichupte Lagoon's expansive white-sand beach, just a 15-minute drive from Cancun Airport. Rooms and suites are spacious with marble floors, balconies, minibars, coffeemakers, and flat-screen TVs, while three-story villas hold fully equipped kitchens. Wi-Fi, though, is spotty. Dining options can feel a little more limited than they seem, since not every restaurant is open every night, but there's still a buffet, sushi bar, the popular, reservations-only DaVinci's, plus poolside and beachside options. There's plenty to do with beach access, three big pools, a 35-person mega-whirlpool, daily activities, tennis and basketball courts, a big fitness center, and a spa. While the hotel has undergone a series of recent renovations, some areas can feel dated. Those looking for a dash more luxury might consider the nearby Paradisus Cancun.

Hi everyone. My name is Jim and I'm a date-a-holic.
I go on lots of dates. Sometimes too many. Unfortunately, these dates are rarely repeat customers. I guess you could say I know how to flirt, but not how to convert.
Currently, I'm in a very nasty predicament. Last weekend, I took a girl out twice (we'll call her Erica). Erica and I have known each other for a few months now. For a while, my roommate pursued her. When he gave up (as men are wont to do), I decided to ask her out, seeing as I had always sensed an air of flirtiness when she was around me.
Both dates went really well. We had great chemistry. Were flirting and enjoying ourselves while talking openly and honestly about life. It was so refreshing . . . until the end of date two.
You guys, she busted out the big guns and blindsided me with the forbidden "I love you" bombshell!
Holy premature confessions of commitment, Batman!
I'm a guy, so obviously everything on my insides automatically exploded into reaction mode. I mean, I'm already skittish when it comes to commitment, and although our time together had been fantastic, her confession of affection quickly put me on my heels. I had no idea how to respond . . . and so I did what I always do in an awkward situation: I laughed. I laughed until the uncomfortable feeling went away. Basically, I laughed for a solid 3 minutes.
She laughed too, but I don't know if it was because she thought I (or my reaction) was funny, or if she just didn't want to appear hurt, or if she didn't want add to the already uber-awkward situation.
The funny thing about this whole mess is that this type of thing happens to me a lot. I go through potential girlfriends quickly because they often grow attached in a very short period of time . . . and I don't know how to say no.
This needs to stop if I ever want to have a serious, healthy, and functional relationship. I'm in my first week of the "It's Not You—It's Your Technique" program. I've already learned a lot about myself and set some goals to fix this problem with my game. This week, I'm compiling a list of 10 traits and characteristics that I really want in a wife. I'm going to use this list to help me avoid pursuing girls for convenience sake or for shallow reasons.
My first goal: I will say no to people. I've been a yes-man my whole life. It adds stress, confusion, drama, and it just makes me miserable. This week, I'm committed to tell people (even girls) no when I'm invited to do something or be with someone I'm not interested in.
My second goal: I will show faith in the goodness of women. I love women, but I often fall into the trap of referring to them negatively by saying that they are confusing, dramatic, or altogether frustrating. This mentality just facilitates my discouragement.
The dating world is a strange and mysterious place filled with unexpected encounters and all-too-often do-or-die situations that rarely, if ever, end up with an "I do." Let's see if I can change the outcome.
Wish me luck!
