Does anyone have any advice when it comes to epilepsy watches? I am a graduate student so work odd hours in and am often in a lab alone by myself. This worries my fiancee who would like a monitoring watch over a medical alert bracelet. I currently have the SmartWatch but it is heavy, the monthly cost is expensive, and recently stopped working when I changed phones and downloaded a newer version of the app. I have looked into the emphatica one but it seems like a lot of people have had bad experiences. Does anyone have any advice on one that works well?

Hey, I am looking into some interesting gene conservation patterns in centromeric repeat DNA. My advisor threw out a theory involving conservation via a "master copy" that all other copies were compared against. However as far as I can tell this theory has fallen off the face of the earth, with some prominent papers in the 70's 80's and 90's, but nothing I can find from current literature. Does anyone know why the theory seems to have been discarded? Is it a lack of evidence or evidence that actively discredits it?

Hey, I play a lot of support in the solo que, and am currently sitting at 4524 solo MMR. (I go by Hootyhoot if you want to check dotabuff).

I wanted to talk about factors that effect pub supporting, that don't factor in as heavily in pro games. The main thing I see is raging cores, but there is a bit more I take into consideration. Happy cores play better and smarter.

Happy cores are less likely to rage, and in my experience one the best ways to make a core happy is to give them a lot of mana. KotL gets a lot of attention in pro games bc he can pull anyone across the map, but in pubs he has another big advantage, mana spam. CM isnt as good for this bc the mana is passive, but in general I

I am currently working with a few different (de novo paired end) grass reads that I need to contig. My reads started at 300 BP but after I trimmed them for quality most sit around the 150-200 BP mark. I have run a contig with ABySS but was wondering if you guys has any opinion on software? I have found a few different papers comparing different software, and am worried that my current contig is too conservative.

What is your experience with running multiple contigs with different programs on the same data set? Do you have any strong opinions on contig software? Do I need to run error correction after the contig? I am still pretty new to the bioinformatics world and really would appreciate

Hey, My job gives me a good bit of time to listen to podcasts, and I was wondering if you guys knew of any that had a good discussion of competitive play. I am not legend, but have been sitting around rank two, so I am fairly competent.

While I am ok with some discussion of the tournament scene I would much rather have the cast focus on tactics, meta, and interesting decks.

Thanks

While playing Multiplayer my sound is randomly cutting out certain sounds (ie My footsteps, gunfire, etc). Google has been of no help, has anyone else had similar problems?

Hi, I am a bit of a sucker for some cliches in the fantasy book world. In particular I am a fan of the virtuoso orphan who is smart and good at everything he does genre. Obviously this is a bit of an exaggeration and the books I like do differ in some ways, but you get the idea.

To name a few, I have always loved the Name of the Wind series, the Dresden files, and I recently read Blood Song, which I really enjoyed.

Thanks for any suggestions you might have.

See title. Is it legal to sell hats for real money? Could I get my steam account banned? What are the sorts of things to look out for (eg. scams).

I have a Burning Flames Head Warmer, and from what I can tell its pretty rare, and i've had some interest just for the flavor of it (overheated pyro head has caught on fire). I am very inexperienced in trading, but I don't want to get into the whole buds/bills/refined game.

Hey, I've never been a trader but the pyro is my favorite class, so in honor of his new video I bought some burning keys for my burning boxes. In one of them I got a Head Warmer with the Burning Flames effect. I don't really know how I would go about trading this or selling it, but if its actually worth something it might be worth the effort.

If its about the same as any unusual ill just keep it and enjoy it whilst I burn things, however if anyone wants to make offers or pipe up, I like all things pyro. My specific thingy I want would be a strange postal pummeler.

r/rpg, someone in a campaign of mine wants to play a 3rd party race called an Oakling http://www.d20pfsrd.com/races/3rd-party-races/alluria-publishing/oakling . It is way more powerful than standard races so I was wondering how you guys would handle this. I don't want to squash her character concept but I also dont want her being way more powerful than the rest of the party. I was thinking a 1 or 2 level adjustment or modifying the racial abilities to be in line with other standard races. What do you guys think? Oh and she wants to play a monk, which conjures images in my head of treantmonklvl20 :O which just screams min maxing to me (not that im opposed to effective PC's)

oh and sorry for

So reddit, I have an undergraduate degree in Psychology, I graduated in the spring of 2010. During my senior year I worked in a neuropsych lab and loved it. I got to go to conferences, and actually do some actual science. However I had a pretty strict line of classes I had to take to graduate (poor planning) and so I never got to do anything other then the basic neuropsych course offered. Also my GPA was nothing stellar, sitting just under a 3.0 (I'm a little ashamed of it, I could of done better easily).

Shortly after graduating I got a job at a major university working in a vocational program with Autistic Adults. Now comes the part where I could use some advice.

I love my job, and am in
