As I mentioned Monday, my hubby and I are celebrating our 1 year anniversary on Saturday!
I guess we are now on our way to being "maturely weds," as one of my readers suggested!
Over the next week my husband and I will be spending some quality time together, YAAAAYYYY! Which means I am completely disconnecting from technology. In order to do that, I am not going to be posting anything on the blog. Even when I have guest bloggers there is still moderation and checking I have to do, and so this way I can have a complete break!
Series: The Importance of Taking a Sabbath, and How to Make it Happen.
How to Know if you are Dating the One!
What do you do if you are Interested in a Guy, but he is not asking you out.
DIY Fall Craft – Easy!
Ok…I am slightly obsessed with Fall. Last night I made pumpkin chocolate chip cookies and their sugary spicy aroma was unbelievable!
Recently I made these jars to add to my decorations for the season. They were so easy to make, and also very inexpensive.
As I mentioned yesterday I am trying to be a good steward of our financial resources, so I challenged myself to make a Fall craft only using supplies I already had.
Anyone else a crafter, and understands the temptation to buy a bunch of cute crafting materials, when you already have drawers full of supplies?
– 4 jars, they can be the same or of different shapes and sizes. These mason jars were already dyed orange from a friend who had used them for her wedding. How to Dye Mason Jars Tutorial, (courtesy Emily Sue) Follow my DIY Craft board on Pinterest for more great ideas.
I had originally purchased these mason jars for a good deal on Amazon.
– Any roll of ribbon, this roll is from Wal- Mart.
– Put stencil on center part of ribbon. I secured mine with double sided tape.
– Paint letter with brush or paint pen.
– After stenciling the letters FALL onto your 4 pieces of ribbon. Glue the ribbon onto the jars, so that the letter is centered with the middle of the jar.
I used mine to decorate my table with! I found all these fall branches and leaves at the Dollar Store. I think the jars would also be cute with a tea light in the bottom.
How I saved almost $200 on Christmas presents!
Lately I have been praying a lot over our finances.
Last month, our air conditioner unexpectedly crashed, while we had guests staying with us. We survived by eating popsicles, buying out Wal – Mart's fan collection and putting the cat's dinner on ice.
Our house was at least 90 degrees while our AC was out.
It was a rough couple of days as our AC repair man tried everything he knew to save the unit and save us money. Eventually, he told us the inevitable….the entire unit needed replacing…..and it would cost several thousand dollars (and that was a discounted rate!).
I have been asking God to cover our unexpected bill. He is such an incredible provider and I have noticed He provides in ways I don't expect.
Not only have I been asking God for His provision, but for Him to show me how to be even better at managing the budget areas I spend for our family.
One area I am in charge of our spending is "gifts." We have a certain budget number for this area, and it is too small for the amount of baby shower, wedding shower, wedding invitations we receive every month, especially when you throw in birthdays and Christmas.
Its not that we don't want to give a lot to others but when you are 29 and 30 when you get married and grew up and lived part of your adult life in completely different areas and come from large extended families that gift list is long……so long that last Christmas I was forced to make an…gasp…Excel spreadsheet to keep track of every person on our list.
I know some of you can make an Excel spreadsheets in your sleep, but they make my palms sweaty like a long division equation.
Are you an Excel lover, or do the thousands of squares with information make you want to lie in the fetal position?
I want to be clear, the Christmas Excel spreadsheet made my palms sweaty, buying gifts makes my heart happy, but going over budget makes our Head of Finance (my husband) unhappy.
Its not a burden to me to buy gifts, I LOVE giving people gifts. But it is a burden to our budget and our marriage if this number gets stretched. Can you relate to this dilemma?
I have been asking God to help us honor our budget, honor my desire to love people through presents and also make up for several thousand dollars of unexpected expense.
Last Friday, I began to see Him do it!
I love Kohl's – Anyone else?
They have a huge inventory of …everything…. and they always have a substantial amount of the store on sale. I also love Kohl's because every 2 weeks they send me $10 in Kohl's cash that I can use towards anything that is $10 pre-tax.
I am on the Kohl's mailing list but DO NOT have their credit card, and according to a former Kohl's employee I know, that is why I am mailed the $10.
You can also follow my Thrifty Pinterest board for lots of ideas about saving money!
I noticed a rack full of gorgeous scarves and accessories, not only were the scarves adorable, but they were 90% off!
Then I had a brilliant thrifty moment!
As I showed my husband the receipt I realized we had just received a miracle. The kind I could have almost missed, because it happened in such an ordinary way…by finding and using a coupon.
Obviously saving a few hundred dollars on gifts doesn't exactly cover the thousands we spent on our air conditioning unit, but it certainly helps! I am waiting expectantly to see how His provision continually surprises us. We have such an awesome God. I love that He cares about the big and small things in our lives.
Anyone else have a story of God bringing provision? Or other thrifty ideas for giving gifts and staying in budget?
Yesterday, we talked about the importance of filling your daily bucket with BIG ROCKS (your 2-4 most important priorities) before LITTLE ROCKS (Expected or unexpected things you encounter throughout your day) overwhelm you and take over your day.
What things do I need to do everyday to feel healthy and refreshed mentally, physically and emotionally?
What relationships are the most important to me?
How often and in what ways do I need to connect with these people?
If you find yourself saying that you need to connect with someone daily and in person (when possible) go ahead and add that to your "Big Rock" list. Hint* Your spouse and children living at home, should be on that list!
Weekly Big Rocks: Just as there are things we need to make a priority everyday, there are things that refresh and rejuvenate us in such a way that we need to do them every week, because its not realistic to do these things everyday.
What things do I need to do every week to feel healthy and refreshed mentally, physically and emotionally?
This is a great way to make time for hobbies and other activities that are refreshing to you! Maybe you are a musician but work in finance, make it a goal to play music at least once a week so that your soul feels alive.
Who do I need to connect with at least once a week?
Now make a plan to make that happen. I have a lot of close friends and family that live far away, so I have to set up times to talk with them or utilize tools like face time and skype to connect.
What day can I take a Sabbath?
Check out the series on Sabbath, learn How to Make it Happen and Why Sabbath is Important.
24 consecutive hours in a row of a Sabbath. This means a break from my work. Blogging, house cleaning, laundry, a lot of cooking or dishes.
Connect with friends and family who don't live close to me.
Date with my husband. Because we are newlyweds without children, we define this as getting out of our house to do something together. During this time we try to disconnect from the world and not check our phones and just focus on being present with eachother. There are a lot of cheap and creative options. We love getting breakfast together on Saturday morning. Breakfast is usually cheaper than eating out for dinner and then often we will do something free afterwards like explore a new neighborhood or walk through a park, play bocce ball or go through a fun shop.
For more great ideas about going on a date with a budget and kids check out this post at Money Saving Mom.
Please share! What are some of your daily or weekly Big Rocks? How do you keep the Little Rocks from overtaking your priorities?
Overwhelmed? How to find time for the most important things!
As I mentioned yesterday: Fall is Here!
September brings aromas and simmering expectation that pumpkin pies, hot cider and holiday festivities are coming!
September also brings a new pace of life, replacing lazy days with: new classes, meetings, or Fall kick off events.
Is your internal web browser opening new tabs of schedules, to-do lists and expectations at a frenzied speed?
It's time to: Determine what your big rocks are!
This analogy was share with me by a friend years ago. Implementing it, transformed the way I viewed time management.
Imagine your day is a bucket.
You don't want the bucket to get knocked over easily (i.e. you lose your mind from stress) so you decide to place 3-4 large rocks in the bottom.
If you always have the big rocks in place, whatever comes throughout the day your bucket will stay upright, because you have a solid foundation.
The big rocks are things that are important for you to complete daily to feel spiritually, physically and mentally well.
When my big rocks are in place, it helps keep me calm and focused when the little rocks of life bombard me.
I prefer to do as many of these things first in the day, or plan specific and protected times for the Big Rocks to happen.
If I don't, it is easy to let the distractions and demands of life make their way into my bucket, until I run out of room in my day and my bucket has been filled with smaller priorities and not my most important priorities.
– Spend time with Jesus, everyday!
– Work out, 4-5 times a week.
– Look presentable. For me this means, my hair is done (even if it has to air dry), a little makeup and an outfit that is nicer than yoga pants and a work out tank top. As a blogger and wife it is tempting to walk around in this all day, every day. But I don't feel as focused and confident – or clean =)- when I wear my work out gear all day.
– Spend time with my husband.
Tomorrow I will give you a few practical ideas, about how to find out what your big rocks are!
What do you think your big rocks are? How is the beginning of Fall going for you? Do you feel overwhelmed or excited about the change of pace?


Define @property, @synthesize, @implementation, @interface in iOS.
@property is a policy to define getter- and setter-methods, or as we call them accessors in Objective-C.
Using @property will declare your accessors for you and is equivalent to declaring setvalue: and value yourself.
It is the recommended way to declare accessors since Objective-C 2.0. Note that you still have to declare the property (in your case value) yourself.
As mentioned above,@property only declares the accessors for your property or variable, @synthesize will implement them.If you declare @property in your @interface you mostly likely write an @synthesize in @implementation.
Using @synthesize is equivalent to implementing setValue: and value.
The attributes (nonatomic, retain) tell the compiler, among others, how the memory management should work and therefore how the methods will be implemented.
You never actually see these accessors, but be assured that they are there and ready for you to be used.
Basically it is a category and allows adding methods in the .m file. The best way is to use a Class Extension, the syntax is similar just the "Private" is missing, just two parentheses.
The additional advantage of a class extension is that properties can also be included and the compiler will validate that all methods declared are defined.
A class definition starts with the keyword @interface followed by the interface(class) name; and the class body, enclosed by a pair of curly braces.
Explain the role of UIKit in iOS Development.
The UIKit framework is plays a main role in designing or building user interface.
UIKit framework gives us event handling, drawing model, windows, views, and controls, basically designed for a touch screen interface.
The UIKit framework provides the important infrastructure needed to build and manage iOS apps.
An app model to drive the main run loop and interact with the system.
3.What are different ways that you can specify the layout of elements in a UIView?
You can create and add XIB file into your Xcode project and layout elements within it.
Then,you can load the XIB in your application code automatically or manually based on naming conventions.Also,using interface builder you can add storyboard for your application.
Alternatively, using only code you can use NSLayoutConstraints to have elements in a view arranged by Auto Layout. Finally, you can create CGRects describing the exact coordinates for each element and pass them to UIView's - (id)initWithFrame:(CGRect)frame method.
4.Explain different ways of achieving concurrency in OS X and iOS.
You can achieve concurrency using threads but there are some disadvantages using threads:1.It's not a scalable solution for developers.You need to predict how many threads to create and adjust them dynamically as conditions change.It creates a burden of creating and maintaining the threads it uses.
So,you should prefer asynchronous design approach to solve concurrency problem rather than relying on threads in OSX or iOS.
GCD starts tasks asynchronously and relegates thread management down to the system level. All you need to do is define the tasks to be executed and add them to the appropriate dispatch queue. GCD takes care of creating the needed threads and scheduling tasks to run on those threads.
All dispatch queues are first-in, first-out (FIFO) data structures, so tasks are always started in the same order that they are added.
An operation queue is the Cocoa equivalent of a concurrent dispatch queue and is implemented by the NSOperationQueueclass. Unlike dispatch queues, operation queues are not limited to executing tasks in FIFO order and support the creation of complex execution-order graphs for your tasks.
5.Between atomic and non-atomic properties, which is the default for synthesized properties? When would you use one vs the other?
atomic happens to be the default state for synthesized properties.
If you have a property for which you know that retrieving an uninitialized value is not a risk (e.g. if all access to the property is already synchronized via other means), then setting it to nonatomic can gain you a bit of performance.

After my first encounter with "Satanic Nephilim hybrids", I didn't think I'd be running into any more fusions of alien abduction lore and Satanic ritual abuse (SRA) narratives. So far as I know, alien abductees rarely recover memories of human abuse under hypnosis (David Icke's Reptilian/Illuminati survivors would be an exception), and ritual abuse advocates generally don't stray too far into the paranormal (Michelle Pazder's Marian visitation would be a notable exception). It's just not a likely combination, though both phenomena probably involve false memories and/or fantasy-proneness to some extent. So I was hugely disappointed to learn that on the most recent edition of his online radio show, Dreamland, famous alien abductee Whitley Strieber featured a woman named Christine Day who claims not only that she's in communication with Pleiadians, but that her parents "gave her to a Satanic cult when she was a child." Day's contact story is remarkably similar to hundreds of others. She was taken aboard a huge UFO near Mount Shasta (a sacred energy site to New Agers) and felt an overwhelming sense of peace among the Pleiadian aliens. Their vibration filled her with a powerful energy that forced her to undergo a spiritual/psychological transformation. Two months later, Jesus appeared to her and declared, "The Pleiadians are part of the Oneness, and we are part of the Oneness. We are all part of the God-self." Day claims these memories are consciously recalled. The SRA memories, on the other hand, remained repressed until Day was a grandmother; she accidentally slammed her fingers in her garage door, and spontaneously recalled Satanists breaking her fingers when she was a child. After four years of intense treatment with a therapist who "specializes in this sort of work", she recalled a life full of Satanic atrocities. (And that's not all. Sai Baba appeared in Day's bedroom one night to urge her to go to India.) In a July 9, 1993 interview on Larry King Live, Whitley Strieber said he was working on a novel about ritual abuse, but told guest host Frank Sesno, "Something is happening, people are getting beat up, but it is a psychological thing, basically. I don't think it's real." Now, granted, the Dreamland interview with Christine Day was conducted by guest host Marla Frees. Perhaps Strieber didn't want to touch the subject himself. Nonetheless, it's still discouraging to see unverifiable contactee messages being merged with verifiably false SRA information, which can't possibly do any real favours for either alien abductees or SRA survivors.
This is just sad: While searching for the legendary ghost train of Iredell County in Statesville, North Carolina, 29-year-old concierge Christopher Kaiser was struck by an actual train. About a dozen amateur ghost-hunters were on the elevated train trestle called Bostian Bridge in the predawn hours of August 27th, waiting for the phantom #9 out of Salisbury to make an appearance on the 119th anniversary of its crash. That's when a three-car Norfolk Southern train somehow took them by surprise. Mr. Kaiser reportedly saved his girlfriend's life by pushing her off the tracks into the ravine 30-40 feet below, just before he was struck head-on. Something tells me that next August 27th, people are going to gather on the trestle to look for the ghost of the guy who saved his girlfriend from an oncoming train. Sigh. Sadder still: This is not the first preventable death to occur on an amateur ghost-hunting trip. Last September, 29-year-old Leah Kubik fell to her death from the roof of the "haunted" Connaught medical research building on the University of Toronto campus after she and a date snuck into the building in search of ghosts. In 2006, 17-year-old Rachel Barezinsky was shot to death by the owner of a "haunted house" in Worthington, Ohio. Allen Davis says he didn't know that the people who continually lurked on his property were searching for witches and ghosts; he just assumed they were up to no good and loaded his rifle.
The blog Three Dead Words, maintained by a Saskatchewan veterinarian who evidently believes her province is crawling with Satanists, is trying to put a Satanic spin on the crimes of Stuart Northcott. He's the serial killer depicted in The Changeling (you can read my post on him here).

Bøler is a station on Østensjø Line (Line 3) on Norway's Oslo Metro system between the stations of Ulsrud and Bogerud,  from Stortinget, in the area of the same name. The station opened as a subway station on 29 October 1967, but rail service to Bøler started already in 1958 as part of the city's tram network.

The Bøler neighborhood is residential which was developed as a suburb during the late 1950s and 1960s. The old farm at Bøler lies next to the station and is preserved. The station itself has the common layout of two side platforms. The road Utmarkveien passes directly above the station by means of a road bridge. Criticism has been raised over the station's dilapidated condition, but funds for renovation went to other subway stations in 2005.

Ralph Hasenhuttl on how Southampton have changed in their style of play
28 November 2020, 12:25 pm
Lee Mpofu
Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuttl will be looking to maintain his side's unbeaten run when they take on Manchester United on Sunday.
The Saints are now seven games unbeaten in the Premier League and Hasenhuttl highlighted some of the changes that have been made in the team's style of play particularly with the possession and counter-pressing.
"Especially our game in possession now shows some habits and some patterns that we haven't shown in the past, and I think this is something that the players really enjoy," Hasenhuttl told the club's official website.
"It's always nice to have the ball and play with the ball, rather than only running and hunting to get it back, so this is maybe the biggest change at the moment in our game, although there we still have massive things to improve.
"But I think we are not only a pressing team anymore. This is the message at the moment, we are also with the ball a team that can cause you some problems."
The Austrian boss also revealed that it was certainly a risk to make some changes to his squad but is grateful to his players who swiftly adapted to the change as well as following his philosophy.
"I was hoping it would go that quick and I'm very happy that it didn't take long because you don't have the time to make a lot of mistakes and still get good results, so it was a risky change of our game," he continued.
"I think at the moment we feel comfortable and this is amazing to see how quickly players are learning what we wanted to see, and it's a never-ending story hopefully that we can get better and better.

Rassapeague, also known as the Francis C. Huntington and Susan Butler Huntington Estate, is a historic home located at Nissequogue in Suffolk County, New York.  The estate house was built about 1865 and is a large Italianate house with additions completed in 1915.  It is a two-story, wood frame, clapboarded dwelling with a large back service wing and porch. Also on the property are a "wine cellar," barn, and cottage.

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.

On December 30, 2011, at approximately 5am, A fire broke out between the second floor and the attic. Firefighters battled the flames for almost ten hours, but were hampered with water supply issues stemming from the nearest fire hydrant being over 3000 ft away. Fire eventually engulfed the entire attic and most of the second floor causing major structural collapses. Due to the insatiability of the structure the building had to be razed.

Please Do Not No-Fly-Zone Us Into World War III
A few thoughts about this morning's events.
Anadolu AgencyGetty Images
So I wake up this morning and find out that it's all gone to madness in the most volatile part of the world. Happy fcking holidays!
Russian President Vladimir Putin said the Su-24 was hit by air-to-air missiles fired by Turkish F-16s while it was flying over Syrian territory. But Turkish military officials said the plane was engaged after being warned that it was violating Turkish airspace. Mr Putin described the incident as a "stab in the back" committed by "accomplices of terrorists". The crew ejected before the jet crashed in Latakia province, but Syrian rebels said at least one was dead. It is the first time a Russian aircraft has crashed in Syria since Moscow launched air strikes against opponents of President Bashar al-Assad in late September.
As the news rolled in, the news didn't get very much better at all.
Turkey's private Dogan news agency is quoting a Turkmen commander as saying Turkey brought down the Russian plane after it had dropped a bomb in a Turkmen region of Syria and entered Turkish airspace. The fighter, who was identified as Alpaslan Celik, the second-in-command of the Turkmen Coastal Division, said the Turkmen forces had re-captured a Turkmen mountain region from Syrian forces. Celik also said the rebels shot and killed both Russian pilots who parachuted from the plane after it was shot down. The rebels had previously said they killed one of the two pilots and were searching for the second one. The AP couldn't immediately confirm the claim that both pilots were dead. Dogan said Celik spoke to a group of Turkish journalists in the Turkmen region. A group of fighters could be seen in the background shouting "Allahu Akbar" and firing into the sky with machine guns as Celik made the announcement.
So Vladimir Putin is calling the Turkish military "friends of the terrorists," and people on the ground are throwing religious imprecations into the sky. I was hoping there would be a politico-religious element to this situation because it just wasn't dangerous enough without one.
I will leave the military explanations/implications to my running mate—Bateman/Pierce '16: Can't Someone Else Do It?—but I will take this opportunity to point out that every American politician who is advising the president to enact a no-fly zone in Syria is asking for this event to be repeated, with even more perilous consequences. Right now, we've got a military confrontation between Russia and a member of NATO for the first time since Christ alone knows when. (Berlin? Cuba? 1962?) Bad as that is, and it's pretty damn bad, the same kind of military confrontation between Russia and the United States would be even worse, especially in the middle of a presidential campaign already full to the brim with useless dick-swinging and bellicose bullshit. And, as much as it's weird to hear myself saying it, Senator Aqua Buddha has been right on the money here.
…and probably would possibly get us involved in WWIII because currently Iraq and Syria have invited Russia into their air space. So if someone like Senator Rubio wants to have a no fly zone, he would have to then agree to shoot down Russian planes that are flying in that air space already. It's a really, really naive and foolish notion and we should be very wary of who we have as our commander and chief because we don't want somebody who makes the mistake that Ronald Reagan and many other great leaders avoided and that is getting into an unnecessary war with Russia.
There are something like five different air forces in the skies in and around Syria right now, all of them with essentially different missions, many of which contradict each other in serious ways. Enforcing a no-fly zone requires a lot more clarity than we have now, and anyone who just throws it out there as a policy proposal without taking this into account—or, worse, anyone who proposes one simply as a demonstration of "resolve" or "will—is trying to take the country for a very dangerous ride. And that was true before a NATO ally took down a Russian warplane.
Right in the middle of the Cuban Missile crisis, you may recall, a Soviet-manned anti-aircraft battery shot down an American U2 plane, killing the pilot. It was probably the most dangerous moment in the whole episode. Almost every member of his government wanted John F. Kennedy to retaliate militarily, which would have set off a general escalation and, very likely, a nuclear cataclysm. To their eternal credit, Kennedy and Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev understood this very clearly. Instead of being the flashpoint, the death of Major Rudolf Anderson scared the two sides into coming to the agreement that ultimately defused the crisis.
For Kennedy and Khrushchev, Anderson's death crystallized their realization that the crisis was rapidly spiraling out of their control. "It was at that very moment—not before or after—that father felt the situation was slipping out of his control," Khrushchev's son Sergei would later write. Kennedy worried that retaliatory airstrikes would inevitably result in all-out war. "It isn't the first step that concerns me, but both sides escalating to the fourth or fifth step and we don't go to the sixth because there is no one around to do so," he told his advisers.
If ever there was a time to be grateful that we elected a president committed to not doing stupid stuff, and to minimizing the drama inherent in his office, it's now. Why, he's damned near Kennedyesque.

The Mathis Report: Expansion planned at Imeson
Developer to build 182,910-square-foot addition at industrial park in North Jacksonville.
Imeson International Industrial Park Inc. is taking steps to more than double the size of a distribution center under construction at its North Jacksonville property.
The Orlando-based developer advised the city Aug. 23 that it plans to build a 182,910-square-foot addition to the previously permitted 140,833-square-foot building.
Dan Webb
The 11.5-acre property is under development at 10531 Busch Drive.
That addition boosts the building to 323,743 square feet at a time when little industrial space is available in the area.
Imeson International Industrial Park Inc. President Dan Webb said previously the 140,000-square-foot building should be completed in November.
Webb said Monday he had no date to start the expansion.
In addition, Webb plans for another building that could start at 240,000 square feet and be expanded to 480,000 square feet.
Developers are proposing or building up to 7.5 million square feet of space, primarily in north, west and northwest Jacksonville.
That doesn't include the 1.5 million-square-foot AllianceFlorida at Cecil Commerce Center project, which is expected to reveal a tenant soon.
For the other projects, tenants aren't specified and much of the space is labeled as speculative, although it's common for developers to be negotiating with a user before starting construction or announcing one soon after.
Developer VanTrust Real Estate LLC also plans a major project at Imeson International Industrial Park.
VanTrust Real Estate, which is buying 156 acres from Imeson International Industrial Park Inc., intends to start construction of a 500,000-square-foot speculative building in September for completion in fall 2019.
That building can be expanded, said VanTrust Executive Vice President John Carey.
Carey said there are prospective tenants in the market, but the structure will be built speculatively.
VanTrust intends to develop up to 3 million square feet of space at the property, which will be called Imeson Park.

What can you do about employees missing work today with a Super Bowl hangover?
Doritos won the Super Bowl, amirite?
But, for the 10% of your workforce that may be missing work today, you'll have to wait until tomorrow to get their opinions on the Super Bowl commercials. Many of those employees told you in advance that today would be a day off. But, what will you do about the others who don't show up for work?
If an employee neither shows up for work nor checks in with you, then refer to your employee handbook — I'm thinking your employee call-out rules; maybe a no-call/no show policy — and apply them.
Make sure that employees who do call out sick are doing so in accordance with applicable policies and procedures.
Should you require a doctor's note? Well, the better question may be, can you require a doctor's note? Eric, are you saying that we just have to take their work on it? Well, said the lawyer, that depends. If your business operates where there is a paid sick leave law, before you insist upon a note, check the law. Or call your lawyer. In Philadelphia, for example, the local paid sick leave law only permits employers to request documentation for absences of more than two days.
What about an employee who wants to take an "FMLA Day"? Remember my checklist from last month's Migraine post. My buddy Jeff Nowak also has you covered at his blog.
P.S. – Movie preview for which I fanboyed the most: Jason Bourne.
Talk to me. Which Super Bowl commercial was your fave?

Poll: Romney advantage in Florida
CNN's Dana Davidsen
(CNN) – A new poll of likely voters in Florida released Thursday indicates Republican nominee Mitt Romney has an edge over President Barack Obama in the state.
The Tampa Bay Times/Bay News 9/Miami Herald poll shows Romney up seven percentage points with 51% of likely Florida voters' support to Obama's 44%. Romney's advantage is within the poll's sampling error. The same survey conducted one month ago showed a much tighter race between the candidates in the Sunshine State with Obama up 48% to Romney's 47%.

The Florida survey was conducted entirely after the first presidential debate, following what was largely considered an unenthusiastic showing from the president. The Romney campaign capitalized on the GOP candidate's lauded performance while the president conceded Thursday that he had a "bad night" last week in Denver.
According to a CNN/ORC International survey conducted right after the debate, 67% of debate watchers questioned said that the Republican nominee won the contest, with one in four saying that President Barack Obama was victorious. National polls released in the days following the debate continued to indicate Romney received a post-debate bounce.
"There's no question in my mind that debate made people stand up and pay attention, and it really wiped away any questions people had about Romney, whether they were undecided or soft for Obama," Brad Coker of Mason-Dixon Polling & Research told the Tampa Bay Times.
An NBC/WSJ/Marist poll, however, released hours before Thursday's vice presidential debate indicated the candidates are in a dead heat among likely Florida voters with Obama at 48% and Romney at 47%. Obama had 47% and Romney had 46% in their poll from early last week.
Senior Obama adviser David Plouffe pushed back on the Tampa Bay Times/Bay News 9/Miami Herald poll's findings, telling the Times that the survey "is just not rooted in reality."
"We got 57 percent of the Latino vote, according to exit (polls) last time. We think we'll probably push 60 or above this time," Plouffe said Thursday. The campaign believes the president has an edge over Romney by a point or two and a floor support in the state of 47%.
Last month, polls showed Obama slightly ahead over Romney.
The latest CNN Poll of Polls - which is an average of six Florida polls of likely voters conducted over the past week two weeks - taken September 16-30 shows Obama with an advantage in the state, 50% to Romney's 45%.
The Times poll showed Romney ahead of Obama on a host of issues; including who likely voters believe would help improve the economy, protect Medicare – a boon for the state's large senior citizen population – and who is better looking out for the middle-class.
The battleground state holds a highly-contested 29 electoral votes and is considered a "toss up" on CNN's Electoral Map.
The president attended a campaign rally in Coral Gables, Florida Thursday before Vice President Joe Biden took the stage with Republican running mate Paul Ryan in Danville, Kentucky for the only vice presidential debate.
Shortly after the debate, Obama congratulated the vice president on what the campaign viewed as a stellar performance telling reporters in Washington that he "couldn't be prouder" of Biden. A CNN/ORC poll, nationwide poll conducted right after Thursday night's faceoff, showed debate watchers split over the winner of the match-up. Forty-eight percent of voters who watched the debate thought Ryan was victorious while 44% said Biden won. The Republican running mate's four point advantage among a debate audience that was more Republican than the country as a whole is within the survey's sampling error.
Though vice presidential debates are unlikely to tip the scales Thursday's survey in Florida as well as national polls suggest Romney's performance had an effect on voters.
The presidential contenders will square off for the second time in New York on October 16 in a debate moderated by CNN's Candy Crowley.
The Tampa Bay Times/Bay News 9/Miami Herald survey consisted of 800 telephone interviews of likely Florida voters and was conducted from October 8-10 by Mason-Dixon Polling & Research for the Times and its media partners. The poll's sampling error is plus or minus 3.5 percentage points.

The last 4 years we recovered from Bush Jr. and Republicans mismanagement. The Obama administration helped us recover WHILE Republicans tried their best to destroy the country for political power. If Obama wins, then we get more recovery and the country betters itself. If Romney wins - well at least the foolish people voting for him and against their own well being will feel the pain for their ignorance first–namely the seniors, lower class, and those dependent in southern Republican states on federal assistance. Personally, I'm the last touched by the Republican mismanagement so it's a win-win for me.
This Ohioan decided to vote for Obama after last night's debate.
Give them the voucher and we need more wars because if we do not fight like Romney say we are not strong and less respested ok! Let us keep fighting wars on credit cards and send our young people to die for no cause. When was the last time wars make you more respected? I think we are less respected around the world for the Iraq and Afghanistan wars and you better think again if you think them little Afghans and Iraqis love USA after we destroy their country. Wars give you more ennemies not more friends.
Biden's embarrassing display of smirks, laughter, & smiles left a bad taste in the voters' mouths. He even lied about his own voting record! But that's all he has left with no record of achievement to run on. Even with the moderator propping him up and constantly interrupting Ryan, most voters still think Ryan was more likeable, which is a critical victory.
Florida....what can one say? If Republicans can't get enough votes there they just cheat like they did in 2000. I think we should cut them off at the northern border and let the whole state float back to Cuba.

Just watched robme's rally in Virginia. Well, it really wasn't a rally. It was Mitt talking to fat old people who nodded a lot.
It's a Mason-Dixon Poll. They repeatedly showed McCain leading in swing states until the last minute during 2008 elections.
Lita Latina
I don't trust polls. CNN's poll results was 48% for Romney and 44% for Biden, no percentage for independents. CBS' results was 50% for Biden, 33% for Ryan and 19 for independents. What poll is telling us the true. I will vote on Nov. 6 and wait for the TRUE results.
Ribidit
Liz – you know not of what you speak....good luck if Romney gets in. This country will be unrecognizable in 2 years and it will take DECADES to recover, if it EVER does. The entire middle class will suffer, ARE YOU LISTENING?...I will NEVER understand why you can't see this. I will be outta here, as I REFUSE to live in a country governed by the likes of Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan.
It amazed me that most social issues have taken a back seat to the economic issues. There is only one nation that has been successful with that formula for politics, and that nation is China. So if you want to vote for Romney, purely based on economic resolves – which started out as a 52 point plan that has been whittled down to 5 points, and the means by which to achieve those ends aren't explained clearly – then you should already have an idea of where we are going. President Obama may not be the best for the country but he is far better qualified to lead than Mitt Romney.

If this rings true the seniors and those just under 55 need to wake up!! It was clearly stated last night that Obama/Biden have and will work to save Medicare (a Dem program) and the R&R team will give us vouchers. :Please ask yourselves, why would the Republicans want to continue a program they've always been against if they have an opportunity to get rid of it. They are only saying it won't change for seniors to get their vote but even if that's the case, don't you care about your children that have worked for that all their lives?
When I was driving this morning, Romney was talking on 97.1 in his slick "military-inspired" mode, with his voice trembling and very concerned about the prospects of future dangers to the US and how he will not let US fall down by increasing the defense budget. Gosh, will we live the next 4 years like in 1999-2003, listening to how "the winning US army" advances deeper in Syria??
Romney is a joke. I hate him and his Views. He will stick to those engrained controlling and socialistic Mormon views. He is a liar and every time he has opened his fat mouth to the world like they care what he has to say what spews out of there has been nothing but an embarrassment to him and our country. He thinks that we are in the 1950's where the USA just says to the world what it wants and they all comply because we have the Bomb. Well those days are way over, We do not have that pull we work with other nations on world problems. We have given women rights over their own body and should keep them, Gays have rights and they should be expanded, This guy will try and change all that progress.
Ancient Texan
Craig Adams MD- As an old Texas Senior, I disagree. Obama and the Dims have NO plan to save Medicare and if it is not reformed and fine tuned it will just disappear leaving Seniors without coverage or hope. I will vote for Romney/Ryan, never never Obama.
OUTSTANDING! Now Micheal needs to start packing 🙂
Clear minded
Biden appeared as an argumentative, slightly addled driver who was pulled over by Officer Ryan to receive a speeding ticket. Last night we saw a Sarah Palin on stage, but this time his name was Joe Biden....
I don't know what all these slanted viewers were watching last night. Both debaters dodged questions and put their party's spin on the answers. There might have well been no questions at all. I am a middle class independent voter that is undecided. I watched the debate with my neighbors, mostly independent non-committed voters, ane we agreed the answers from both candidates were all over the map. Ryan came across as articulate and bright and Biden came across as somewhat confused and overly animated when he wasn't speaking, often blurting out terms in order to get credit for them. For us that seemed to be the difference. We all agreed that given the weak substance that came from both candidates, Ryan was the winner. Will this make us all vote R&R versus Obama/Biden? Most likely not, but it did make us more comfortable with a Republican choice versus the last election where Palin was the #2. The race is by no means a slam dunk for either team unless you are a dyed in the wool Republican or Democrat who has blinders on for their party's candidate. There seem to be a whole lot of them posting here.
HOLY TIGHY WHITIES WILLARD
@ Critical Thinking
No republican has ever won the Presidency without winning Ohio. Willard is not looking good by no means in Ohio. Virginia is Obama country! I know this because I live here. In comparison to the 2008 campaign of McCain to Robmey's, McCain had yard signs everywhere and he still lost VA. You hardly see any Robmey signs. So, I'm sorry to break the bad news to you, but you'll have to live under another 4 years of tyranny and oppression under President Barack Hussein Obama. Have a nice day!
My personal favorite part of the debate was when the moderator asked Ryan specifically what his facts were in regards to taxes, and Ryan completely avoided the question! I'm an independent from Wisconsin and Ryan has had controversial budget plans since he was in office.
Save the small Hedge Fund Business, and drop the senior safety net. Vote Romney Florida!
Dick Harris
I was disappointed in Mr.Biden ,I didn't like his smile every time he didn't like what
Mr Ryan said.My dog does the same thing by showing his teeth.
It could be, he was had a contract with Colgate

Wait a minute – so Romney is up by seven points in one poll, and Obama is up by one point in another in Florida for the same time period? I don't remember the polls being so far apart in other presidential elections.
The tides have turned, the Romeny support is on the rise and the Democrats have been caught with their pants down. I have been a strong Obama supporter for the last four years but I have come to one conclusion that forces me to vote for Romney. This administration appears to think that its current course is good for our country and are not speaking of or showing change that we all know is neccessary for economic growth and a brighter future. Romeny may offer that, I cant say for sure but I can say without a doubt that our current administration has failed. Obama couldnt defend himself in the debate and Biden responce was arrogant and rude and did not have me feel that he was Presidential material in the least. We try and demonize the Republicans but then act as we claim they are, Time to give a new man a four year shot at it, if he fails then we vote him out too.
California Gary
I think the election was won last night when Biden looked straight into the camera and asked "Who are you going to trust on Medicare, the party that created it and has defended it all these years, or those guys who want to change it into a voucher system?" I just wish he had quoted Newt from back in the 90's when he said he wanted to cut the life blood to Medicare and watch it wither on the vine and die. That is the Romney/Ryan plan in a nutshell. By the way, malarky is my new favorite word...........

Cody and his twin brother Nate were born 9 weeks early. At 12 days old, Cody suffered a severe brain bleed effecting both sides of his brain. He wasn't expected to survive but pulled through and he was expected to have moderate to severe disabilities in his future.
After 12 weeks in hospital, Cody came home but only 2 days later he was back in hospital fighting for life with Ecoli Meningitis. Once again Cody won the battle for survival but now faces a life with severe disability.
Cody has severe spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy and epilepsy. He will require a lot of expensive equipment and therapy to live the best life possible for him.
Bailon was diagnosed at the start of April this year with Neuroblastoma, It's an aggressive form of a cancer that he has which is also not only produced an extremely large tumour in his abdomen, it's also affected his bone marrow and bone. Its classed stage 4.
Treatment is still expected to last for another 6+ months from july, which includes more surgeries, chemo and stem cell transplant. A pledge page has been set up to try help with raise some funds to try help with the ongoing costs of the treatment.
Kane Ashe Taylor was up until August this year our healthy happy little boy. At 4 years of age he was diagnosed with stage 4 Neuroblastoma. This is a very rare and aggressive form of cancer which stems from the adrenal glands when growing in utero. It is the leading cause of cancer deaths in children under 5. Kane complained one night about his legs being sore after kindy and by a week he was unable to walk.
There were no warning signs or symptoms. Stage 4 meant that the cancer has progressed from a primary tumor to multiples and to further lymph glands and bones. Our family now has the fight of a lifetime, this stage of the disease has the lowest survival rates and is very hard to treat. It is a long extensive and intense treatment. It has taken a toll on our family as he has 2 sisters very close and we spend many weeks apart in treatment in the Royal Children's hospital Herston. It is also a very large financial strain traveling every day for constant treatment. Kane is a very strong happy and patient little man and has handled it all with a smile.
At the start of April 2013 I went in to St Vincent Hospital to get a bone marrow transplant for my rare blood disease that I have called MDS. A bone marrow transplant is probably one of the toughest medical procedures one can do. It involves a hell lot emotional support and financial support from friends and familys. I work in the stunt industry and theres not alot of holiday pay and extended leave so to speak so you you have to rely alot on your savings and limited government funds.
I received a phone call in my first week of my stay in hospital and it was Scotty Gregory, (an old work associate friend of mine). He said Nige what can I do? I replied, I dont know mate what can you do ? I can help raise funds for you doing dares Scotty replied. At first I thought Scotty was out of his mind and I decided to run with it. Since that first conversation Scotty has raised well over 11k doing dares and running fund raising events and continues to this day in his mission to support people who need support like myself, It helped pay for my bills and not only that Scotty came down to see me from the Gold Coast and provides constant support with phone calls of encouragement.
I am in awe of this mans endless energy and big heart he has. My family would personally like to thank Scotty Gregory and the support team at D-FAM.
This is just going to get bigger and bigger as time goes on and I encourage anyone to get on board and help out for a fantastic course.
Raising money for mate in need.
Donate For A Mate (DFAM) was started in May 2013 by Gold Coast professional stunt performer Scotty Gregory to help support his mate who is fighting MDS and is waiting for a bone marrow transfer.
To date Scotty has eaten the hottest chillies available; scootered through the middle of Surfers Paradise in a bikini; taken on professional fighter John Wayne Parr in the ring; dressed up as William Wallace from Braveheart and had high-tea at Palazzo Versace hotel and worn an electric collar which someone was activating at different intervals while Scotty sang the Australian National Anthem. These are only a taste of what Scotty has done to raise money for his mate.
Donate For A Mate is now a registered charity and is on the lookout for new "mates" to support.
DFAM receives nominations from mates for 'mates in need' and raises money by having people pledge money for Scotty or members of the DFAM Pledge crew to perform stunts to receive that money.
Whether your 'mate' is suffering an illness or has a family member that is ill and needs financial help with medical treatment, bills or ongoing therapy etc, the team at DFAM is keen to assist.

A key experiment in the accelerator-driven systems (ADS) roadmap, the MEGAwatt PIlot Experiment (MEGAPIE) (1 MW) was initiated in 1999 in order to design and build a liquid lead–bismuth spallation target, then to operate it at the Swiss spallation neutron facility, SINQ, at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI). The target has been designed, manufactured at ATEA (France), then set-up, fitted with all the ancillary systems, on an integral test stand at PSI for off-beam tests dedicated to thermo-hydraulic and operability tests, carried out during the last months of 2005. The system was then placed with its ancillary system in the SINQ facility, for final operation under irradiation, which was carried out from August 14th to December 21st, 2006. The irradiation allowed very important results to be obtained, including those showing the very good operational behavior of the target. Moreover, a lot of results in the thermal hydraulic and neutronics fields, and gas analysis contributed to validating the design studies and the assumed theoretical models. Decommissioning of the target has been carried out and PSI teams have prepared samples (760) for post-irradiation examination (PIE). The samples have been distributed to the following partner laboratories: Commissariat à l'énergie atomique et aux énergies alternatives (CEA), Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI), SCK·CEN, and the US Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). The Centre national de la recherche scientifique (CNRS) and ENEA will also contribute to the PIE to be carried out in the SCK-Mol and PSI hot laboratories, respectively. The goal is to study the changes to the structural material properties caused by the harsh environment of high temperatures, contact with flowing liquid metal (lead–bismuth eutectic, LBE), and proton irradiation. After presenting an overview of the project history, we describe the target decommissioning, PIE sample preparation and distribution, and highlight the first results that have been obtained. The successful behavior of the target and the coming results about irradiated materials will provide to ADS community with unique operational feedback, paving the way to develop high-power spallation targets as neutron sources and for future ADS-based options for the transmutation of nuclear wastes.

The script went through many changes during its years of development, with Daley and Goldstein alone writing approximately fifteen drafts over a three and a half year period. There were four different endings, four different final acts including one where Holloway is revealed as a betrayer. Discussing the script changes which saw the project enter production, producer Chris Bender said: ". . . it was tone, finding the right tone, because it was originally written more broadly where certain magic things were happening that wouldn't actually be real magic and also, over time, the references that we were making in terms of the new school of magic and the old school of magic were becoming dated. . . Once [Carell] came on board, that's when things really took off. . . And then finding the right director, too. These kind of comedies scare directors a lot because you're taking a chance and you're going for something bold comedy-wise that either could be a big hit or it could really miss. " Scenes of the young Wonderstone being inspired by a video of Rance Holloway, and buying a magic set were based on Daley's own childhood, in which he viewed a similar video of magician Mark Wilson.

Q: Removing URL features from tokens in NLTK I'm building a little 'trending' algorithm.  The tokeniser works as originally intended, bar a couple of hiccups around URLs, which are causing some problems.
Obviously, as I'm pulling info from twitter, there are a lot of t.co URL shortner type links.  I'd like to remove these as not 'words', preferably at the tokeniser stage, but am currently filtering them out post-fact.  I can't (I don't think) run the tokens against a recognisable English whitelist, as again, Twitter, and contractions, etc.
My code that wraps around the function that pulls the top 10 most common words in any given period is:
tweets = Tweet.objects.filter(lang='en', created_at__gte=start, created_at__lte=end)
number_of_tweets = tweets.count()
most_popular = trending.run_all(start, end, "word").keys()[:10]
print "BEFORE", most_popular
for i, thing in enumerate(most_popular):
    try:
        if "/" in thing:
            most_popular.remove(thing)
            print i, thing, "Removed it."
    except UnicodeEncodeError, e:
        print "Unicode error", e
        most_popular.remove(thing)
print "NOW", most_popular`

That try/except block should, in theory, remove any of the URL featured words from the token list - except it doesn't, I'm always left with a couple.
Running trending.run_all on a time period gives, for example:
[u'//t.co/r6gkL104ai/nKate',
 u'EXPLAIN',
 u'\U0001f62b\U0001f62d/nRT',
 u'woods',
 u'hanging',
 u'ndtv/nRT',
 u'BenDohertyCorro',
 u'\u0928\u093f\u0930\u094d\u0926\u094b\u0937_\u092c\u093e\u092a\u0942\u2026/nPolice',
 u'LAST',
 u'health/nTime']
Running the rest of the code imported into python commandline gives:
0 //t.co/r6gkL104ai/nKate Removed it
1 /nRT Removed it
2 hanging
3 ndtv/nRT Removed it
4 निर्दोष_बापू…/nPolice Removed it
5 health/nTime Removed it
6 Western 7 //t.co/4dhGoBpzR0 Removed it
8 //t.co/TkHhI7n…/nRT Removed it
9 //t.co/WmWkcG1dOz/nRT Removed it
10 bringing
 ...
32 kids

NOW [u'EXPLAIN', u'woods', u'hanging', u'BenDohertyCorro', u'LAST', u'scolo', u'Western', u'//t.co/jB0TWYAJSI/nMe', u'BREAKINGNEWS', u'//t.co/9gYG8y5OKK', u'bringing', u'Valls', u'advices', u'Signatures', u'//t.co/vmQfyenXp4/nJury', u'strengthandcondition\u2026', u'HAPPENED', u'\u2705', u'\U0001f60f', u'//t.co/5JR8RXsJ87/nIs', u'Hamilton', u'Logging', u'Happening', u'Foundation', u'//t.co/gC959Q43QD/nRT', u'ISIS=CIA', u'Footnotes', u'ARYNEWSOFFICIAL', u'LoveMyLife', u'-they', u'B\xf6rse', u'InfoTerrorism', u'kids']

So for some reason, that little hunk isn't (consistently) cutting them out, or isn't acting as expected.  This causes a particular problem with reverse lookups in Django, as I intend to use the top X phrases in a period as clickable links - obviously that breaks the lookup completely, and there (rightly) doesn't seem to be a way to Except out of that in the template, so I'd rather take care of this in the views.

A: It seems to me that the issue you are having is that you are deleting a list while iterating over it. The solution is simple:
You should iterate on a copy of your list:
for i, thing in enumerate(most_popular[:]):

notice the '[:]' which will create a copy of your list.
The reason for this behavior can be found in this post.

Reliance Jio is back again with another amazing offer of international calling at just 50 Paise Per Minute. The new post-paid plan of Reliance Jio is of Rs 199 and it will offer international call to the US and Canada as per the company statement. However, the rate varies from 50 paise to Rs 6 per minute depending on the country to which call is placed.
Reliance Jio has made a plan of Rs 199 per month under which the user will get 25 GBs of data with unlimited free voice calls and SMSes service. The post-paid plan of Rs 199 gives additional 'premium subscription' in Jio apps which will enable International calls as well as international roaming with no additional charges or advance deposit.
According to the Reliance Jio, the international calling services will get activated as soon as the pack of Rs 199 will be active but the international roaming plan will start only with a 'one-click' basis. The international roaming packs comes in two modes- one with unlimited data and voice packs and without any such packs.
However, three packs of Rs 575, Rs 2,875 and Rs 5,751 comes for the international roaming subscribers for the Reliance Jio users and comes with different validity periods. The Rs 575 plan is valid for one day, Rs 2,875 for seven days and Rs 5,751 for 30 days.
All the three plans come with unlimited free voice calls, unlimited free SMSes and mobile data offerings. The calls can be made both internationally as well as nationally.
Both the plans of Rs 575 and Rs 2,875 comes with 250 MBs of data per day at high speed and after the limit is over, it will be followed by unlimited plan of less speed of 64 Kbps.
With Rs 5,751 pack, users will get a total of 5 GBs in high speed with no time limit while after the exhaust of 5 GBs, it will go unlimited with 64 Kbps speed as per Reliance Jio.

Application Note: 110 – Studying Protein Adsorption Properties with SPR
Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) can be applied as a convenient, sensitive and label-free technique to study various surface phenomena. One such example is the Vroman effect exhibited by protein adsorption onto surfaces. This important effect arises from the fact that protein adsorption capability onto a surface depends on motility, which is intimately related to its molecular weight. In general, a high molecular weight (HMW) protein adsorbs more strongly than a low molecular weight (LMW) protein. As a result, when a surface is exposed to a solution containing different proteins, it will be covered with more HMW proteins than the LMW ones. This competitive nature of protein adsorption may be used as a mechanism for selective detection and separation of proteins.
FIG. 1 Schematic illustration of the Vroman effect. A LMW protein adsorbs onto a surface first. Exposing the surface to a HMW protein, the LMW protein is displaced by the HMW protein.
Chae et al. [1] studied proteins with various molecular weights, including aprotinin (0.65 kDa), lysozyme (14.7 kDa), streptavidin (53 kDa), and isolectin (114 kDa) on three different surfaces, including a bare-gold surface and gold surfaces premodified with OH¯- and COOH¯-terminated self-assembled monolayers (SAM). The real-time adsorption and displacement of the proteins were monitored and quantified in real time by SPR. They were able to distinguish these proteins easily based on the Vroman effect.
FIG. 2 Real-time SPR displacement pro?les of aprotinin (marked by "A") by lysozyme (marked by "B") on (1) the bare-gold, (2) COOH-SAM and (3) OH-SAM surfaces. Group A is selected as LMW proteins and Group B as HWM proteins. LMW proteins are first injected, and adsorption of the proteins on the surfaces is monitored with SPR in real time. HMW proteins are then injected to compete for the surface with the LMW proteins.
In one set of experiment, they started with a surface initially covered with a monolayer of LMW proteins, and studied the displacement of the LMW proteins by HMW proteins. The monolayer formation of the LMW proteins, and subsequent displacement process were monitored in real time and quantified by SPR. FIG. 2 shows an example of the adsorption and displacement profiles of sequentially injected proteins with low and then high molecular weight proteins on bare-gold (black line), COOH¯-terminated SAM (red line) and OH¯-terminated SAM (blue line) surfaces. The first step is to inject 0.05% (W/V) LMW proteins (aprotinin) into the sample cell. The SPR angle increases rapidly, then slows down and approaches saturation. A buffer PBS solution containing no proteins is then injected to wash off weakly bound proteins from the surface, which is observed as a gradual decrease in the SPR angle. The SPR angle does not return to the original value, indicating irreversibly adsorption of the LMW proteins. From the SPR angular shift, the amount of the irreversibly adsorbed LMW proteins is determined. Finally, 0.05% (W/V) HMW proteins (lysozyme) is injected which also leads to an initial rapid increase in the SPR angle. After washing off the weakly bound proteins, the final SPR angle is higher than the angle for the LMW protein monolayer. The difference is the due to the displacement of the LMW proteins by the HMW proteins. Chae at al. also carried out another experiment by reversing the order, namely, starting with HMW proteins on the surface, and following with LMW proteins. The excellent correlation between the SPR results and the Vroman effect suggests that the hydrophobic core of a protein, whose size is proportional to its molecular weight, largely governs its interaction with a solid surface.

Without roof access ladders then carrying out work and maintenance to the roofs of building would be near enough impossible and extremely dangerous. Roof access ladders are very important and should be installed in your home to make sure that if you need to clean your roof, i.e. clean snow off it, or maybe do some work to your roof, that you are doing it in the safest possible way.


We've been enjoying another lovely summer weekend and managed to eat outside again when we had friends around for dinner. We didn't have a typical summer meal and instead opted for a chilli, which had been cooked earlier in the day, allowing me to spend time socialising with our friends instead of being stuck in the kitchen.
and because it was warm evening (and I'm working with Lindeman's over the summer to spread a little sunshine amongst our friends) we enjoyed a few glasses of nicely chilled Lindeman's Bin 85 Pinot Grigio. I can't decide if my favourite is the Pinot or the Rosé at the moment, but I must admit that the Pinot went down very well with this meal.
The kids then spent time splashing around in the pool, followed by a game of football, before tackling dessert.
Everyone over indulged a touch with dessert and were left feeling a little full, so we settled down in the lounge for a game of Scattergories and a cuppa.
I made the lemon curd swiss roll as part of The Great Bloggers Bake Off week 1 challenge. After a bit of research into 'Japanese cake rolls' I thought I would try my hand at putting a design into the swiss roll and decided upon lemons, to match the filling flavour.


The default configuration for this free app is that 3 quick presses of the power button with the screen off will turn on the LED flash. When the screen is on, you need to hit it 4 times instead (once to turn the screen off, then 3 times). To turn it off, fire up the app and press the on-screen toggle. It will also time out after 10 minutes, in case you accidentally trigger it.
This is not all that different from a feature that has been built into Samsung's Active and Rugby lines, OnePlus One's Cyanogenmod 11S, and many common mods for custom ROMs and rooted devices. The key difference here is that you don't have to be rooted or own one of the few devices with a built-in shortcut.
Many of the options you see above can only be configured if you pay for a $0.99 in-app upgrade. The most meaningful benefit from buying the full version is that you don't have to use the app to turn out the light. Instead, just another tap of the power button will turn out the light. You can also change the amount of time before the light times out with the paid version.
Device support may vary, but a look through the reviews shows a wide variety of phones functioning properly. The developer seems quite responsive if you have problems.
This isn't world-changing stuff, but there are a lot of people who could benefit from a simpler way to fire up their phone's LED flash to navigate through the dark.

So, a quick note on a complaint I have about some story telling. My favourite story telling always features a good degree of restraint. The story doesn't just go off on whims all the time, or try to include everything. It puts limits on itself and abides by rules. This is especially true for science fiction and super natural stories. A problem I had with story telling in elementary school was wanting to include everything that was cool. One of the problems I find, though, is that the more you include, the more diluted what you already have becomes. Also, since it's just a story and not being tested in the real world, it becomes easier to create contradictions or incompatibilities that can compromise the story's credibility. I want a story to be credible so that I know it will be meaningful. It matters if someone dies, unless everyone always comes back.
I use to watch WWF wrestling when I was very young. It quickly became meaningless, though, when every few months, someone who was "good" became "bad" and vice versa. There was no consistency. There was no true character.
Likewise in some dramas, especially if relationships keep changing, like in soap operas. It strongly dilutes the romanticised concept of "true love". It makes it hard to trust that a given relationship means anything if it can be replaced easily, or connections easily swapped around. In real life, I find it hard to care about a friend's relationship problems if they enter into new relationships very regularly. (I do end up caring more about the person's underlying problems that drive those, though.) I end up enjoying when a relationship brings to mind the concept of "true love", where I find a couple who treat their connection as a significant matter, and one where if there's trouble, they don't look elsewhere for a solution, only giving up when all reasonable recourse has been exhausted. I am skeptical whether that's reasonable to expect from humans, but it's something I like to believe in a little anyway.
So, when I look at a comic book continuation of a favourite television series, and they go "all out" and pre-established connections are replaced readily, I get sad and reject even the original creator's attempts to extend canon. Joss Whedon's comics must never be believed.


Somerset are holding the second top position on the table while Essex are holding the last spot in the South group. The results are looking quite obvious but who can predict the game changer moment?
Gloucestershire are on cloud nine as they are leading their group with eleven points while Glamorgan has to make some efforts to climb until they get the top position and their journey will start from tomorrow.
Yorkshire has a better chance to win this match against Northamptonshire to get points to stand out on the spot of number three while Northamptonshire can eliminate the difference from other teams by winning this match to get a better position.
Lancashire are holding the top position on the points table of the North Group with eleven points while Leicestershire are at number seven with six points in the pocket.
It may be a damp squib as the fixture has two teams who are at number five and seven with seven and four points respectively.
Derbyshire and Warwickshire are going to face other at County Ground, Derby which can be a tough fight for both the teams because the ultimate aim is to get a better position by earning points in the tale.
Hampshire are at number eight on the points table while Kent are at number three on the points table. This game is important for Hampshire to earn some points for a better position on the table.
