I feel like the comfort in circle lenses varies even though they're from the same line, like I have the Beaucon shimmer grey and brown, but the brown one is really uncomfortable, whereas the grey one is fine D:.

I like both your reviews, but make-up reviews probably tend to get more views since there's more variance in opinion (especially with skin related products, so people want to find as many reviews as they can before purchasing). Circle lenses are pretty straight forward, and most sites have ratings on them, so you can get an idea of whether or not to purchase them. But your reviews are really in depth, so they're helpful for people who want further information on them, rather than a few sentences on whether they're good or bad ^^JNNhttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-4700099067222046705.post-15701420727331803582013-09-14T14:17:30.654-04:002013-09-14T14:17:30.654-04:00wow i love how your camera captures the beautiful ...wow i love how your camera captures the beautiful details of the lenses <3 your eyes are really pretty :) Shayne ♥https://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-4700099067222046705.post-15848982860248269092013-09-14T13:50:57.229-04:002013-09-14T13:50:57.229-04:00They look so natural!! :) Suits you so well, too d...They look so natural!! :) Suits you so well, too dear!Sharinahttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-4700099067222046705.post-25955663665506607452013-09-14T11:57:56.038-04:002013-09-14T11:57:56.038-04:00I love how natural look they create!♥ Also I like ...I love how natural look they create!♥ Also I like to read your lense reviews I guess lenses are just one of the most popular subjects that many beauty bloggers make reviews about, so what I mean there are quite a lot of lens reviews on the internet.
People know how lenses "work" better that some new amazing mega baby face BB- creams, so they just google for pictures about some lenses that they'd buy and then make their decisions... but my point is that it's good that people make these reviews even if they don't have that much comments! :)Paulahttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-4700099067222046705.post-87593307574790528052013-09-14T05:12:42.954-04:002013-09-14T05:12:42.954-04:00These are so beautiful, and I LOVE the case!!

HUNDREDS of children have been left "devastated" after their playground was partly destroyed by fire in a "prank that went wrong".
CCTV footage has been given to gardaí, apparently showing youths burning material which inadvertently led to the fire at a multipurpose play area at the Moyross Millennium Park on Sunday night.
Paddy Flannery, who is the manager of the Moyross Community Enterprise Centre, which also operates the play park, said he did not believe the park was specifically targeted.
"We are taking it very seriously, but we don't believe it was a malicious attack," Flannery said.
"It was kids in the park, playing around on a lovely fine summer's day; someone got involved in something stupid, and it went wrong."
"That's our firm belief. It was more of a prank gone wrong than a malicious attack," he added.
The play area was built in 2000 but underwent major refurbishment in 2011 when the community won the Brennan's Bread-sponsored Bring Back Family Playtime Project and received €7,500 funding, as well as €2,000 from a local bingo group.
"Around a hundred kids use it, from 12 months of age to 12 years, and part of their daily activity is to go to the park so that kids have outdoor activities everyday of the week," Flannery said.
Flannery called on witnesses to make contact with the community centre, or the gardaí, adding any information received would be treated with "strict confidence".
Father of four, Christopher Mallard said: "The kids are devastated, absolutely devastated. We can't believe it." Mallard, who helps run a local youth club, said: "It was the only safe place around here for the kids to go and play. There's nowhere else for them to go until this is fixed.
"It was just a prank gone wrong, as far as I know."
Sources had initially believed the fire was started maliciously, however gardaí said they believe the fire happened as a result of a prank.
"It was an isolated incident; nothing like this has happened in Moyross in a long, long, time," Mallard added.
Moyross was a magnet for crime and gang shootings and murders during the early 2000s, but with investment and regeneration it has managed to put those dark days behind it.

"People work hard everyday to make the community a better place than what it was years ago," Mallard said.
"Everybody here pulls together. It's a great community. We're trying to erase the mistakes of the past and build to a brighter future."
Mallard called on young people in the area to "think about your actions", and the "consequences that fall upon the whole community".
"Silly mistakes bear consequences (for everyone)," he said.
Mother of seven, Janet Quinn, whose youngest daughter Chloe, regularly uses the play park, said: "She was very upset when I told her. You can see (the disappointment) in the kids faces – they love the park.
Flannery said they intend to "fence off" the damaged area for repairs, and hope to reopen the rest of the park later in the week.
Fire control confirmed firefighters responded to the play park fire at 9.58pm, Sunday night. Firefighters extinguished the fire and returned to base at 10.38pm. Fire crews responded to a report of a fire at a separate location in the Moyross area at 12.47am and returned to base at 1.27am.
Firefighters also responded to a report of another open fire in Cosgrave Park, Moyross at 1.37am but returned to base at 1.58am when they could not locate said fire.

I finally got round to watching The Wolverine this weekend and while the final 20 mins descended into garishly, goofy territory with a giant robot baddy, a well-telegraphed 'twist' and a cheesy one-liner to seal the villain's fate, it felt like superior superhero fare.
It did justice to Chris Claremont and Frank Miller's legendary Wolverine story which dropped everyone's favourite X-Man into the unfamiliar surroundings of Japan, partnered him up with a spunky, formidable sidekick and gave him a love story that was subtle and lacking the usual lashings of sentimentality
We know Hugh Jackman's back for X-Men: Days of Future Past, but according to Cinema Blend, via The National Enquirer, he's recently been offered $100 million to star in four more Wolverine movies. Does that mean standalone movies or a combination with other X-men films? Considering Jackman's age, I'd say the latter.
Unless it tanks at the box office, a follow-up to Days of Future Past should be a done deal, and there's also an X-Force movie to consider.
Let's forget for a moment this is just rumour. What could we expect from future incarnations of the character?
Unsheathe his claws
We know violence for violence's sake does not guarantee a good movie, but violence is bound up in the character.
While he's an integral member of the X-Men and a part of a mutant family, he's still a man with a past that distances him. A man asked to do unspeakable things for the greater good. It's accepted that his soul is stained and to downplay that isn't doing the character justice.
Considering he's featured in a wet works version of the X-men in Uncanny X-Force, and there's talk of a bloodier Director's Cut of The Wolverine, beefing up the body horror for a future film seems less unlikely.
'Think of me as your bodyguard'
One of the highlights in The Wolverine is the character of Yukio. She's fairly oblivious of his desire to be alone and the final moments of the movie hint at their continuing adventures.
While Wolverine has found great success going solo, it's his interactions with others that have formed some of the fondest memories. Whether it's mentoring Kitty Pryde/Shadowcat or forming a father/daughter bond with Jubilee, it's these relationships that have given us a peek beneath his usually surly exterior.
The Wolverine shows us that settling down is not an option for the character, but keeping him a loner is also a mistake.
Yukio is a soldier like Logan, but also offers him a chance to form a connection that both develops the character and lifts it out of a gloom that would become repetitive and tiresome.
Remember, you can have too much of a good thing, and at the moment Hugh Jackman's Wolverine is still a very good thing.

The entrepreneur will be present on SXSW . Learn about the latest news, trends and insights from thought leaders and innovators.
Many people like to share tips for the surviving SXSW, the annual tech, music, and film festival that launches this week in Austin, Texas. Unfortunately, many of these articles say something obvious (Bring an umbrella! Wear comfortable shoes! Have an extra charger!)
I assume that you are an adult and that you can find out for yourself. This will pave the way for these tips from experienced visitors who know where to go, how to do things, and how to really use the wonderful and chaotic event that is SXSW.
Related: How to Survive SXSW
Admit that you need help.
With more than 1
Perform Pedikabs In Advance ,
Did not you know that you can do that? Now you do. Although Lyft and Uber urge you to share rides, you know that transportation in Austin is a challenge. While participating in SXSW, Shoshana Bennett of virtual labor firm Zirtual rents pedicures day after day and simply textes the company when it needs to be picked up.
Photo credits: EasyRider
Bennett likes Easy Rider This service, but we've found that with MetroCycleLab you can also reserve a driver, and there are likely to be others if you ask around and negotiate. (She also suggests renting Courier Depot if you need something to pick up or pick up.) This has nothing to do with Pedikabs, but I thought I would mention it.)

Remember, it's all about you.
Businesses are fighting for your attention, so make sure you benefit. Is not that also other people for ?
- Do not you have business cards anymore? TaskRabbit will bring new ones printed by Moo. (Cards are discounted and delivery is free)
- Hungry? Kevin Yu, CEO and founder of the cooking app, Side Chef, says his company will visit the grounds to fetch the tired and hungry protein bars.
- Cut yourself in sight without any first aid kit? Just swap out your distress @ 3M and the company will bring you a bandage (or other 3M product) to get you back on track.
- Need a custom manicure? Of course you do. You can find them in Brazos Hall.
- Honestly to the good St. Bernhard brings you a Mophie charger when your phone goes out.

Get Fit The SXSW Route
You just have to take your time. Luckily you have many options.
Peace, tranquility and a drink for adults.
Alcohol is plentiful in SXSW, but it is not always quiet. For something off the beaten path, try Buffalo Billiards, recommends Benjamin Goodman, a product and strategy manager on Heard's social media platform. He says you'll find a hodgepodge of locals, tired managers, drunks, filmmakers, and SXSW attendees playing from the pool to the shuffleboard and the "hidden gem of 6 th Street."
Do you have an escape route?
There is life outside of Austin. Seriously:
Bennett suggests a relaxed hike, while Zach Cohen, COO of the digital marketplace in Holonis, asks you to book a blissful Caribbean cruise for the day after the show. "That makes it easier to handle the chaos," he said as he returned to work after the big event.

Needing a quick and easy dinner before the City Council meeting, I went to the Cheese Board and bought two cheeses for dinner.
One was an old favorite – Fromager d'Affinois. The other was suggested to me by the CB member, and it was terrific – a cheese from Vermont whose name I will have to get later, but it started with an M. I also got the baguette at Cheese Board, and some excellent Nicoise olives, and added in some picholine I'd gotten there last time.
I had also gone to the Derby St. farmers' market and bought, on two whims, some nice little strawberries, and a basket of ripe black mission(?) figs, so we had those, too.
There was an open bottle of Bear Boat Riesling in the fridge, so we each had a glass of that with dinner, which was nice.

This show was originally titled: 'A Compromised Version of the Adult I Thought I Would Become'. Which, in hindsight, is a better title. But here we are. This is a hilarious, yet thought-provoking, story about realising that growing up is a process of slowly letting go of your dreams, but also realising that the younger you was a bit of an idiot. Hot off the back of a sold-out 2019 Sydney Comedy Festival, don't miss this one-off encore performance by "growing force in Australian comedy" (Broadsheet), Jack Gow.
"Jack Gow possesses an anxious, apologetic eloquence that takes the everyday and makes it quietly marvellous … a bittersweet experience, a highly amusing but subtly complex hour by a talented wordsmith" ★★★★ – The Music
"What makes him so unique is his surprising poignancy, each hilarious memory tinged with unexpected pathos, often captivating the audience into silence" ★★★★ – AltMedia
"One of the finest emerging comedians in the country" – Sydney Comedy Festival

Peperomia caperata
Rich, deep colour and velvety texture
The Peperomia caparata is a plant which deserves a second look. Endowed with rich, deep colour and velvety texture, the leaves look as if they might have been quilted. The Peperomia caperata has sturdy, maroon stems, and thin, cream flowers which gracefully reach up, twice as high as the foliage. The overall effect is very attractive.
Mass display
Mass indoor displays of the Peperomia caperata will provide years of pleasure. Position the plants where medium light can catch their corrugated leaf forms.
Look out for the different forms of Peperomia caperata that are available from nurseries from time to time.
Care instructions
Put in a little and get back a lot!
Care Info:
Place pebbles in the bottom of a 15 cm deep container. Cover with water. Group a number of plants, each in its individual pot, on top of the pebble bed. Place the container in medium light, shaded from direct sun. Ensure that the soil is kept moderately moist, but do not allow it to dry out. NEVER allow the plant to become waterlogged, as it will immediately wilt and die. In winter, the top half of the soil can be allowed to dry out before rewatering.
Place pebbles in the bottom of a 15 cm deep container. Cover with water. Group a number of plants, each in its individual pot, on top of the pebble bed.
Ideal Indoor Temp:
Neat cushion individual Peperomia caperata plants have a compact growth habit. Individual plants can be placed in a shallow bowl, which they will soon cover with a neat cushion of growth. Ensure that the bowl has a hole in it for drainage.
Flowering Period:
Year round
Special Points:
The Peperomia caperata is a long-lasting plant, which can be repotted every couple of years when it has outgrown its container. To encourage growth, you can apply a liquid fertiliser every month from spring to autumn.

Linux isn't invulnerable. In fact, that's one of the most common cybersecurity myths that gets Linux users into trouble. This belief makes it easy to put your guard down, and when your guard is down, that's when you're most likely to get sucker punched.
But just because Linux has security holes 4 Surprising Linux Security Issues You Should Be Aware Of They say you should use Linux if you want security. That might be true, but you still need to be on your toes! Read More doesn't mean you need antivirus or firewall software. While you may decide to install one anyway — and there's nothing wrong with that — here are a few reasons why it may not be as helpful as you think.
Why Linux Doesn't Need an Antivirus
Malware for Linux desktops is rare
Since Linux is the least popular desktop operating system, and since Linux users tend to be a tech-savvy bunch, and other operating systems have easier security holes to exploit, it simply isn't as profitable to attack Linux.
Of course, Linux malware does exist. To say otherwise would just be naive and untruthful. However, it just isn't as big an issue as it is on other operating systems, and there's almost no chance you'll run into one (unless you're viewing inappropriate content 5 Ways Visiting Adult Websites Is Bad for Your Security & Privacy While pornography is often discussed in the context of morality, there's a huge security-and-privacy angle that is often overlooked.

Read More or torrenting from disreputable sites 10 Easy Ways to Never Get a Virus With a little basic training, you can completely avoid the problem of viruses and malware on your computers and mobile devices. Now you can calm down and enjoy the internet! Read More ).
Software installations are safer on Linux
Think about how software gets installed. On Windows and Mac, users often download EXE, MSI, and DMG installer files that request system-level access in order to make the necessary installation changes. That's a prime avenue for malware attacks. One mistake, one trick, and you're toast.
But Linux is different. Installer files exist but are unconventional — most users rely solely on package managers like APT and YUM. As long as you keep to trusted repositories, the risk of catching malware this way is virtually zero. That risk increases when you start playing around with obscure PPAs and the like Linux PPAs: Installation, Removal, and Security PPAs -- personal package archives -- are a way to install Linux software via the Terminal. But are they safe to use? How can you remove a PPA? And which are the safest PPAs to... Read More .
Linux protects itself against malware
The fundamental structure of Linux makes it difficult for malware to take root, and even if you do end up contracting a virus or Trojan, it will have a tough time doing any real damage to the system. This is due to how permissions work in Linux.
Every file in Linux has three permission settings:
- What can the file's owner do with this file?
- What can the file's owner group do with this file?
- And what can everyone else do with this file?
If a virus hypothetically infected your system, it would likely be executed under your local account, and so would be limited to your user actions. Local user accounts can't do anything to system-level "root" files, so the malware would be trapped and restrained (assuming you don't accidentally execute the malware with "sudo" What Is SU & Why Is It Important to Using Linux Effectively? The Linux SU or root user account is a powerful tool that can be helpful when used correctly or devastating if used recklessly. Let's look at why you should be responsible when using SU. Read More ).
Antivirus effectiveness is questionable
Suppose one day there's a new malware that targets Linux desktops. It makes use of a never-before-seen security exploit and it makes its way onto your system. Before you can even realize it, the malware wreaks havoc on your data and leaves you wondering what you could've done to prevent it.
Would antivirus have helped you here? Probably not.
Generally speaking, antivirus software is always one step behind viruses. It can't protect you against threats it doesn't realize are out there, which means antivirus developers are by definition reactive. Chances are, you'll be hit by the malware before the antivirus understands how to deal with it.
And did you know that Linux antivirus clients primarily scan for Windows malware? Some do find Linux infections, but they mainly cleanse files of Windows infections so that you don't pass that malware to your other computers or to your friends and family through file transfers.
Smart security habits are often enough on Linux
Two of the most well-known attack vectors on Linux desktops are Flash and Java. These two cross-platform platforms are known for their security vulnerabilities, which is why we recommend getting rid of Flash and stop using Java.
But those aren't the only ones. Other potential vectors for malware include Silverlight, PDF files, outdated extensions and plugins, infrequently-updated cross-platform apps like OpenOffice, and more. USB drives can also carry latent malware.
All this to say: if you eliminate potential attack vectors, avoid shady parts of the web, steer clear of stray USB drives, drop bad security habits and develop good security habits 8 Tips for Online Safety Used by Security Experts Want to stay safe online? Then forget everything you think you know about passwords, antivirus and online security because it's time to be retrained. Here's what the experts actually do. Read More , then there isn't much to gain from antivirus software.
Why Linux Doesn't Need a Firewall
Don't worry, this answer is much shorter.
A firewall is simply a filter that determines which network packets (i.e. data) can come in to your computer from the internet and which can leave your computer to the internet. It's mainly used to allow and/or disallow incoming connections. Outgoing connections are rarely filtered.
For most Linux desktop users, firewalls are unnecessary.
The only time you'd need a firewall is if you're running some kind of server application on your system. This could be a web server, email server, game server, etc. In this case, a firewall will restrict incoming connections to certain ports, making sure that they can only interact with the proper server application.
If you aren't running any server applications, then a firewall serves no purpose. If no servers are running, then your system isn't listening for incoming connections, and if it isn't listening for incoming connections, then nobody can connect.
Most Linux desktops run zero server applications out of the box.
Tips for Maximizing Linux Security
Despite all of these reasons to not install antivirus software, you may want to do it anyway — and that's fine. Even if you never catch a single malware infection, it's not like you've lost anything by having antivirus available. Better to be safe than sorry, right? After all, Linux isn't as secure as many think.

Selena Gomez doesn't need Justin Bieber to get in trouble, she can do that all by herself.
The 22-year-old pop star is in hot water after posting two photos of her New Year's holiday to Abu Dhabi on Instagram.
The offending images were taken while the former Nickelodeon star and friends — including Kendall Jenner, Cody Simpson and Gigi Hadid — paid a visit to the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque earlier this week.
In one of the images, which has since been deleted from Instagram, Gomez can be seen exposing her right ankle, while in the other, which is still up, she and her friends laugh and mug for the camera.
Both are considered acts of disrespect in the Muslim culture. According to the Daily Mail, mosque visits strictly ban intimate behavior and state that all women must wear ankle-length skirts.
The post quickly drew the ire of the Internet. "Just because you're not muslim doesn't mean you don't have to follow muslim tradition in a Muslim place," one comment read (via Billboard).
A request for comment was not immediately returned.
The incident comes 14 months after Rihanna was kicked out of a mosque because of an impromptu fashion shoot.

6 Steps To Take After A Car Accident
No one plans on getting into a wreck. Motor vehicle accidents are unsettling, and it can be difficult to clearly think in the minutes after an incident. However, what you say and do in the immediate aftermath of a car crash can significantly impact your physical health and your ability to recover compensation.
If you are involved in a car accident, call our experienced lawyer at 501-623-9800 to schedule your free case evaluation.
Steps To Take After An Accident
The highest priority immediately following a car accident is to stay safe. Leave the car where the accident occurred unless it is unsafe to do so. If you cannot leave your car where the accident happened, safely pull to the side of the road and remain in your car. Additional injuries can occur if proper precautions are not taken after an accident. Once you are in a safe location:
- Telephone emergency personnel, including the police. This will allow the police to come to the scene and write an accident report. The police may also want to cite the responsible party for any unsafe driving conditions such as texting while driving or DWI.
- Take pictures of your car, the other driver's car, the surrounding scene of the accident and any visible injuries.
- Record key information from the other driver, including:
- Name, address, contact information
- Car make, model, year and color
- Insurance information
- Write down the names and contact information of any accident witnesses or passengers in the vehicles.
- Seek medical attention even if you do not think that you are injured. Symptoms may not appear until later.
- Speak with an attorney before you contact your insurance company.

4 Birthday Party Etiquette Tips For Parents
Feb 24, 2017
Your child is invited to a birthday party — yay! Someone is another year older and that is definitely cause for celebration and perhaps a bit of stress. See for me, the issue is more in attending a party than throwing a party. When I throw a party, I'm in control. I know what I'm willing to spend and I'm pretty easy going when it comes to everything else. Gifts, no gifts — there's no pressure, so it doesn't matter. I just want everyone who attends to have a good time. Birthday party invites, on the other hand, always give me a bit of anxiety. What do you get? How much should you spend? Do you still buy a gift if you don't attend? That is until I came up with birthday etiquette guidelines for myself that I abide by and I believe you will find helpful too!

What do you get?
This can be tricky. I mean, how well do you know the child whose party your child is attending? At the moment, the possibilities are endless with all the toys available on the market. I personally like to go educational, meaning books or some form of educational gadget, but this is based off of what I like to receive. I don't like toys and I don't like clothes. This is because I have particular preferences, but other parents may have others. So, your best option? Call the parent and ask. Now, if this is someone you know well, you may not have to take this step. But if you don't them well, it may be worth it. The way I see it, you're already spending money on the gifts, so of course you want it to be meaningful.
Now for the question on all of our minds...
How much should you spend?
The general rule is between $20–$25 and honestly, it makes sense. You can barely get anything for less nowadays. But this is definitely not to say you can't buy a gift that costs less or even more. There are a few factors I like to consider in my gift-purchasing process. How well do I know the child? Are they a family friend or even a family member? If so, I'm likely to spend more. Yet, there is also my budget to keep in mind and if I find a good gift on sale for $10, I'm not letting that pass me by, oh no! Maybe at the time of the party, we just won't have the wiggle room to go all out. That being said, it's not a "who got the best gift" contest. Give from the heart, it's the thought that counts!
You'll Also Love: Animal Cookies With Cake Batter Dip
Do you still buy a gift if you don't attend?
It's a party, not a wedding (lol), so no. Unless, of course, you want to. Again, using the example of it being a close friend or family member, I may go the extra mile — but it's not a requirement.
Lastly, here is a bonus that we, as parents, often ask ourselves (especially when our children are younger and can't beg us to go):
Does your child have to attend?
Of course they do! ... Just kidding! Actually, it's okay to say no — just remember to respond to that RSVP and let them know your child won't be in attendance. Sometimes you just can't make it and most parents can understand this. After all, it's a birthday party. I think we, as parents, often make it a bigger deal than it is. In the end, the kids end up just fine.

Microbiome Best Practices
Table of Contents:
Sample considerations
Mouse Studies: Cage effects
In multiple papers, studies have indicated that littermates, and co-housed mice will have similar microbiomes, along with the more "well known" issues with consistent rack/light/temperature effects on outcomes. There are many suggested solutions to this, depending on opportunities to co-house animals of different treatments, or sharing bedding between cages. Two potential references for this are here:
Macpherson, A. J., & McCoy, K. D. (2015). Standardised animal models of host microbial mutualism. Mucosal Immunology, 8(3), 476–86.
Goodrich, J. K., Di Rienzi, S. C., Poole, A. C., Koren, O., Walters, W. A., Caporaso, J. G., … Ley, R. E. (2014). Conducting a microbiome study. Cell, 158(2), 250–62. http://doi.org/10.1016/j.cell.2014.06.037
DNA extraction:
There have been multiple studies to determine the effects of different DNA extraction methods on the subsequent amplification and analysis of microbiome samples. From these analyses, the winner is the MoBio Powersoil kit (https://mobio.com/powersoil-dna-isolation-kit.html), with no, or minor modifications (Lu et al. 2015, Mackenzie et al. 2015). As an example of modifications:
From Lu et al. (2015), looking at porcine gut/fecal extractions:
POW method
DNA extraction with POW was performed according to the manufacturer's instructions with modifications of bead beating time and additional pre-elution incubation. Sample aliquot was added into the lysing matrix with lysis buffer supplied. Lysing matrix was then blended with mini Bead Beater (BioSpec, Bartlesville, US) at 4,800 oscillations per minute for 60 seconds. The remaining steps (including protein removal and DNA washing) were performed as recommended. DNA was also eluted with 50 μL RNAnase-free water with pre-elution incubation at 50°C for 5 minutes.

Wagner Mackenzie, B., Waite, D. W., & Taylor, M. W. (2015). Evaluating variation in human gut microbiota profiles due to DNA extraction method and inter-subject differences. Frontiers in Microbiology, 6, 130.
Sample Validation using generic 16S amplification:
We recommend investigators verify that their DNA extracts contain sufficient DNA with few enough PCR inhibitors to reliably amplify 16S rRNA genes. Our current recommendation is to amplify each sample using generic 27F and 1492R, using the following PCR protocol:
PCR set up:
|ul/reaction (20 ul reactions)
|5X buffer
|Forward primer
|Reverse primer
|DNA template
PCR Steps:
- 2 min @ 95°C
- 30 cycle of:
- 30sec @ 95°C
- 30sec @ 55°C
- 10 min @ 72°C
- Keep at 4°C
Once completed, load each sample onto a gel, with appropriate size ladder (expected band is 1.5 kb), and validate that all samples are able to properly amplify 16S rRNA genes. This step is NOT performed at Vantage. If this has not been performed by investigators, pre-drop-off, costs for any samples that cannot be amplified properly will still be charged to your account in the case of PCR failure, unless this step has been performed.
PCR cleanup/DNA concentration normalization
Once PCR using the dual barcoded primers is completed, there are 2 required steps before the amplicons can be sequenced:
PCR cleanup (removal of extraneous DNA, primers, enzymes, etc)
DNA concentration normalization between samples
The MiSeq SOP (above) recommends use of the Sequal prep (http://products.invitrogen.com/ivgn/product/A1051001) kit for a combined PCR cleanup/DNA concentration normalization. This is our recommendation as well. However, the kit is only available in a 10X pack of 96 well plates (total of 960 samples) for ~$550, making the cost prohibitive. We are currently working out pricing to stock and sell individual plates. The only alternative method (also outlined in the SOP), is gel-based amplicon cleanup, and manual DNA concentration/normalization.

The way you use, or don't use, your teeth and jaws affects their shape and health.
For those of you who are living without food, eating only socially (and infrequently), or ingesting only liquids: let's talk about those lovely chompers. You may think that being a breatharian will mean you have excellent dental health (just think of all the cake and ice cream you will NOT eat over the course of your lifetime), but it could be quite the opposite.
Your teeth and jaws are not just there for chewing pizza. Among other things, they support and give shape to your face and allow you to speak and enunciate clearly. Your teeth and jaws are bone, nerves, enamel. If you don't chew regularly, your teeth will not be strong and your jaw bones will lose density. It also affects the muscles around your jaw, which can become slack. Just as there is a "turtle neck" posture that plagues people who spend their days leaning down into a laptop, there will be a similar, unflattering "look" that will eventually be seen on liquidarians, breatharians, prana eaters, sun gazers, and inediates of all stripes. It's not just about looks, either; it also affects the proper function and alignment of the body. Over time, your bite could be altered and you might suffer from TMJ or other problems later in life.
The remedy? Daily toffee chew? No, I think not. Gum is okay for some, but if you are anything like me, you are way too sensitive to chemicals to chew gum. My remedy is a daily chew of pure mastic. It has no additives, no sweeteners, and it's all natural. It is tree resin from the chia tree, which grows in Greece, and was used in making chewing gum way back when, before we so readily put industrial waste products into our mouths instead of natural things.
It has a resin-y, sap-like flavour, so it's not for everyone. I find it to be refreshing, but it may be an acquired taste. It's kind of costly, so you might try buying a small amount first to see if you like it. If you do, it's much more economical to buy it in bulk.
Here is a smaller batch to try:
And here is the bulk batch:
If you find it for a better price elsewhere, please drop me a line and let me know your source. I chew one of these a day.
Some of you may like crystallized ginger chews. I find them too strong and food-like, and mostly, sweet.
It's also good to do some facial/jaw calisthenics regularly. You can go to youtube and search under jaw exercise or click here for books on facial workout. I know, I know…most of these are aimed at making you look younger, but they do the trick and if they also make you look younger, great!

The story of the Fly V4. No board in the Simmer lineup has ever had such a long and complex development history as the Fly V4. It was finished in collaboration with Marc Paré and the end product is a perfect adaption to his style and power. But som of the genes of this board goes way back. The rocker goes back to my original freewave thruster design, conceived in 2011 or so. By coincidence, me and Kai Katchadourian ended up having our only day in common on Maui that season on a day when many of the reefs closed out. The normally mellow Kanaha was a mast and a half high beast. We had decided to test our freewave proto and some competitors boards. Needless to say, it was the wrong type of day for a freewave, but both of us noted that the our design behaved supremely at the super high wave riding speeds.Some years later Kai was visiting my friend Markus Boman, playing some drums, and we were drawing up the lines for his Peahi (aka Jaws) board. Recalling our crazy Kanaha session on the Freewave, we returned to this rocker and but put it in a much narrower and more drawn out outline with a long and stable tail. This board is still servicing Kai when Peahi breaks.Some years later still, Kai wanted to put the same rocker in a more Hookipa style board. This we did, using the Fly V3 outline and the internal name of this board was the Ahi. It was at this point that I also designed the Cortex, which is a short tail, short nose version of the same rocker, albeit with some extra v. Kai loved the board and we made some sizes that were passed around to team riders, like Marc and Ben Proffitt with the intention of sending this board into production if they liked it. They did, but something was still missing. On Cabo Verde Kai experimented with a 92 with a shorter tail, that really performed well. This was the point in time when Marc and med started to work on a new board for him. Before, we had made some customs based on design with more rocker, but now he wanted something fast. Knowing both the Cortex and the Ahi proto, Marc was excited to try out this rocker in some alternative outline. He wanted a bit more drawn out nose outline and together we decided on a design with a shorter tail. From the Cortex we brought over the winger design, which both gives the board some extra squirt in the end of the bottom turn and makes it super solid in a high power top turn carve. We tuned the rails to be rather thin and that was it. The first proto, an 85, was instantly loved by Marc and everyone else that tried it. He still rides it at times. From there we developed the other sized and that's it. The Fly V4 is one of those boards that people rave about regardless of skill level. It's a top level ripper, but also extremely versatile. I think the success of this board has a lot to do with its complex development history. Every development stage fed something new and exciting into the board.

One of Britain's 23 water suppliers, Anglian Water supplies the driest and largest geographical area in the country. The water company is investing £240 million to tackle leaks. They aim to reduce water loss by 22% in their 40,000 km network by 2023. They have chosen Primayer's leakage monitoring technology, originally developed for the US Navy, to do this.
Sean McCarthy, head of leakage at Anglian Water, said: "We already have the lowest level of leakage in the water industry at half the national average. But being ahead of the curve means we're now into the realms of tracking down really hard to find leaks, long before they're visible to the naked eye, meaning our leakage targets are now really tough.
"We're looking into every avenue of engineering available to us to continually be better, and technology like this will revolutionise our ability to meet those tough targets.
"The [Primayer] noise logger is a permanent fixture within the water pipe, taking readings every night so any noise from leaks can be heard more clearly and analysed by our leakage team. Essentially we're listening for leaks; these are our ears in the ground.
"Ultimately, lower leakage means a better service for our customers, less chance of supply interruptions and less disruption because we can find and fix leaks while they're small and invisible."
Working with Primayer's in-house data team, Anglian Water has developed a dedicated modelling system that works out the optimum points across the water mains network to place the sensors. This precise deployment means the noise loggers can be installed much more efficiently.
McCarthy added: "We'll be installing 3,500 noise loggers across our network between now and 2020, with a further tranche already being planned beyond that.
"Ultimately they will form a cornerstone of our leakage strategy and work alongside our other technology, like thermal imaging drones and satellite imagery to help us save millions of litres of water."

9 Innocent & Sweet Perfumes to Try ...
Trying to find innocent and sweet perfumes that are ideal for a girl or a woman is not all that easy. I've looked everywhere for innocent and sweet perfumes and I came up with 9 that are amazing! Whether you are looking for designer or you want something a little less expensive, take a look at my list! I promise, I have something for everyone!
1. Marc Jacobs – Dot
I actually love, love this scent. Not only is this one of the few innocent and sweet perfumes that is super feminine but it's also not too floral. That's the problem with a lot of sweet perfumes, they can be too floral. This one has vanilla, driftwood and jasmine all mixed and mingled with orange blossom and coconut water. It's an amazing scent!

The Dielectrophoresis Network
at the University of Surrey
Dielectrophoresis primarily offers the opportunity to discover and exploit the electrical properties- - or electrophysiology - of cells. Unlike other methods of electrophysiological analysis (see the electrophysiology primer in Resources for more) we look at static electrophysiology (invariant over scales of seconds or longer) rather than the transients caused by action potentials; however, its simplicity and ease of use allows it to be applied to many more scenarios than conventional methods allow.
We have benchmarked the system against other methods used in electrophysiology - our work with Chris Fry and Rita Jabr - both electrophysiologists at Surrey - showed that the system produces the same values for the cytoplasmic resistance of cardiac cells as gold standard techniques using tissue preparations. That work also developed a new medium composition best suited for stabilising cells in low conductivity (a medium that is now available from Labtech - se the Resources page). We have also developed a system for using dielectrophoresis to place single neurons into an electrode grid, in order to take conventional electrode recordings from neurons when interacting in a defined manner.
Drug discovery
We have performed studies on drug resistance in both cancer cells and bacteria. In the former case, the key advantage of DEP is speed - we were able to show that antibiotic action could be detected in 4 hours, reducing the time required to select an appropriate treatment. In cancer cells, we have shown that DEP can elucidate an entire mechanism of drug action by studying the effects of P-gp blocker agents on K562 cells using a combination of DEP and flow cytometry. The work also examined the differences between drug sensitive and drug resistant cancer strains, and found a direct correlation between the degree of resistance, the cytoplasm conductivity, and the membrane potential. Building on this work, and using DEP spectra of cells treated with ion channel blockers, we were able to go further and isolate the quantities of free ions in the cytoplasms of drug-sensitive and drug-resistant cells and identifying P-gp's secondary function as a chloride channel.
We have also used DEP to examine apoptosis in cells, particularly in cancer cells. Using a new analytical technique to extract multiple population data from a single DEP spectrum - allowing the identification of cells in a healthy, apoptotic and necrotic states, as well as apoptotic body debris - we have shown that dielectrophoresis can track the progress of apopotosis more rapidly than flow cytometry, and more accurately (since cells are handled in a much less aggressive manner in DEP). This was later developed in successive systems using the DEP-Wells and finally a multi-channel DEP-dot that could track the progress of apoptosis on a minute-by-minute basis, identifying the first changes in the cell population 23 minutes after exposure.
More recently, we have extended this work to look at IC50 - the measure of the toxic threshold of a drug (or efficacy, in the case of those cells intended to be killed by the action of the drug). We began by successfully examining algae as a function of water quality, and have since analysed the IC50 of drugs such as staurosporine, benchmarked against gold standard methods such as annexin - but more rapidly and at substantially lower cost.

"Time Out Market Montréal will bring a unique experience to the city—we can't wait to open our doors on November 14 and welcome our guests," says Time Out Market CEO Didier Souillat. "We came to this city with a mission to bring the best of the city under one roof and we are incredibly proud that Montréal's culinary who's who accepted our invitation to join Time Out Market. This will be a place where you get a true taste of the city. Every day of the week from morning to night you can choose from more than 100 fantastic dishes—each representing some of the best food Montréal has to offer. There really is something for everyone.
"Time Out Market is about exploring the different cuisines and cultural experiences, seeing the chefs and their teams cooking right before you; it is about enjoying the casual atmosphere at communal tables and spending time with family and friends. We are dedicated to democratizing fine dining—we are making fine dining casual, and casual extraordinary."
Final additions to the lineup: top culinary talent, a local shop and an unparalleled beverage programme
Chef Paul Toussaint will serve hearty and spicy Haitian cuisine
Born in Haiti and having moved to Canada when he was 19, Paul Toussaint embarked on his culinary career in Montréal, graduating from Collège LaSalle and later joining the Toqué! team as an apprentice in their revered kitchen. He spent several years in Haiti to help the community after the devastating earthquake and came back to Montréal in 2017 as chef of Agrikol. He is now dedicated to Haiti's rich culinary and cultural heritage and his Carribean fare—full of the textures, flavours and spices of Haitian cuisine—has captured diners' hearts and stomachs. Joining as a signature chef and trading under his own name, Time Out Market Montréal will become a new stage for Paul Toussaint's incredible talent: he will take diners on a voyage with a menu featuring his crackling griot with piquant pikliz, accra fritters or fall-off-the-bone pineapple-and-rum ribs.
Montréal Plaza Deli will make simplicity unforgettable at Time Out Market
The traditional deli gets a serious kick-start at the Montréal Plaza Deli at Time Out Market. This will be another spot at the market for chefs Charles-Antoine Crête and Cheryl Johnson who will also offer the avant-garde dining of their flagship restaurant Montréal Plaza—one of Canada's most acclaimed restaurants—and Foodchain. With their deli concept, they will take something as simple as an egg salad, minestrone soup or fried-pork-tenderloin sandwich and turn it into something unforgettable and satisfying with an unexpected array of techniques and flavours. Montréal Plaza Deli is like receiving a personal invitation to the home kitchen of a top chef!
Signé Local will bring its locally produced items to Time Out Market Montréal's retail space
Founded in 2015 by entrepreneurs Vanessa Lachance and Maxime Tremblay to promote responsible consumption and buying locally, Signé Local is a store that offers a wide selection of quality products made by Québec artisans and entrepreneurs. The team will now sell its wonderful range in the Time Out Market Montréal retail space and visitors will be able to discover high-quality products made locally, such as local food items, decorative objects, clothing, beauty products and much more.
A beverage programme to complement the culinary experience
Time Out Market Montréal will offer a wide variety of non-alcoholic drinks and several counters serving beer, wine, spirits in addition to an unparalleled menu of craft cocktails featuring recipes from ten of the city's best bars. Signature drinks will include a swanky Sage Martini from Pelicano (vodka and gin mixed with cucumber bitters and a sage leaf garnish to create a flavourful wallop); a refreshing and spicy Yuzu No Hana from Gokudo (mezcal and elderflower liqueur shaken with jalapeño slices, lemon juice and yuzu syrup); La Nostalgie from Coldroom (vodka punctuated with rhubarb liqueur, raspberry syrup and squeezed lemon, before being topped with a kombucha foam and a dusting of nutmeg); a MN Mai Tai from Le Mal Nécessaire (this playful take on the classic tiki drink comprises light and dark rum, falernum syrup, lemon and pineapple juices, and a splash of bitters); and a fruity Isla Mujeres from Le Royal (tequila and the Québecois spritz Les Îles is mixed with guava nectar, tamarind, citrus syrup and a bubbly splash of soda). Top bars El Pequeño, Le 132 Bar Vintage, Cordova, Perles & Paddock and Le 4E Mur have also contributed specialty cocktails to the bar at Time Out Market Montréal. Rounding out the menu will be mocktails like the Zingi, smoothies like the Açaïa, a large selection of wines, an exclusive choice of natural and orange wines, and draft beers from four of the best local breweries in Québec: Dieu du Ciel, Archibald, Microbrasserie de Charlevoix and Pit Caribou.

Time Out Market Montréal is part of the global expansion of this culinary phenomenon
Following the success of Time Out Market Lisbon—which the editorial team behind Time Out Lisbon opened in 2014 and is now the most popular attraction in the country with 3.9 million visitors in 2018—the Montréal location is one of five food and cultural markets Time Out Group is bringing to North America this year: Time Out Market Miami and New York opened in May 2019, Boston in June 2019, Montréal follows in November 2019 and Chicago later this year. Time Out Market is also set to come to Dubai (2020), London-Waterloo (2021) and Prague (2022).
