FINALLY... some pics

[PonyOne]

Okay... this is like my 4th attempt at getting pics up and I'm hoping that this will finally work. I have a few pics of my guitars that I plan on putting up soon, right now, it's mostly just pics of me and the Mrs.

http://home.earthlink.net/~gabrielleweiss/picpage/us/Me.jpg
that's me... i look kinda like Johnny Bravo in that pic, heheh. I think my hair looks kinda cool.

http://home.earthlink.net/~gabrielleweiss/picpage/us/gaby.jpg
this is Gaby, my fiance, we've been together since we were 15. This pic was taken before we went to a club (hence the fishnets); she's holding our cat, Samantha, and to her right is my Epi SG Special, which I learned to play on. Sounds pretty cheap, but looks pretty cool. If you have a good monitor you can see that the strings are strung backwards... since I'm a lefty.

http://home.earthlink.net/~gabrielleweiss/picpage/us/meandgaby.jpg
this is an old pic of us before I started losing weight. I look kind of like tom green somehow. But Gaby is beautiful as ever. This is what playing a guitar and being a nice guy will get you... even if you're chubby and look like a mod from Saskatchewan.

http://home.earthlink.net/~gabrielleweiss/picpage/pets/chirp1.JPG
I've had this bird since I was 9. Her name is Chirpie Cheeseburger (again, I've had her since I was 9, I just call her Chirpie) now. She's the only reason I'm alive, in all truth.... and I'm serious about that....

http://home.earthlink.net/~gabrielleweiss/picpage/us/gabymadras.JPG
to whatever dork it was that said we didn't have lives, and needed girlfriends... well... yeah. What I think is kinda funny w/Gaby and pictures, is that depending on the photo, the light, etc, you see other parts of her ethnicity... in the first one she looks pretty Arab, in the 2nd one she looks totally French, and in the last, she just looks, well, like a Jewish chick... go figure.

That's it for now... more tomorrow or the day after.

Its always fun to see a little glimpse into the peoples lifes that you hear from everyday. Cool pics.

[PersevereTheMetal]

Very nice man.

[The Other One]

nice.nice.very nice.

Here are some of mine:

That's me with some of the kids I teach. There are also 3 more schools (I have around 1200 students)

http://la.limace.free.fr/images/Photos%20JJG/ensemble1petit.jpg
Here's me with a kid's choir, that I did for a track with Jean Jacques Goldman (Celine Dion's Songwriter, and one of many Joe Cocker's producers)

http://la.limace.free.fr/images/guitares/theblues.jpg
And that's my latest guitar, a luthier made tele style guitar.
There also a pic of my wife and JJG on my site... It's all in french, you'll have to look for it ;)

How do you post pictures in this thread?

You need to have your pictures uploaded somewhere on the web that allows remote linking. Once there, you need to know the URL, including http;// and all that stuff.

Next, quote somebody who posted a picture in this thread to see how to use vB code to actually get the picture into your post.

lalimacefolle: I haven't seen you here in forever, what's been up?

Cool post PonyOne !

[Incidents Happen]

Dr. Simon- out of curiosity, what kind of doctor are you?

~Incidents

[lalimacefolle]

well, you 've seen the pictures! Work work work...

[Dr_simon]

IH.

My PhD was in Cell Biology and Drug Delivery though Im currently working on endocytosis.

I'm trying to figure out how a set of proteins that are thought to mediate vesicle tethering (before Trans- SNARE formation and vesicle fusion) work.

Just got a final Postdoctoral grant from the American Heart Association (last installment of $130 000 USD over 3 years... cool) !

English, please?

[Dr_simon]

OK Rask, Ill try not to use too much jargon.

Endocytosis (the internalization, sorting, movement and either recycling or degradation of extracellular material enclosed in membrane bound vesicles)

This is important as it performs many functions critical for cellular homeostasis. For example, it is vital for mediating the degradation on receptor bound ligands (signaling molecules) as well as the down regulation of receptors. It also functions to degrade old pieces intracellular machinery (such as receptors) that have passed there sell by date (in the lysosome).

How is endocytosis regulated? (you don’t want a vesicle containing useful stuff fusing with a lysosome)

A series of regulated membrane sorting, budding and fusion events all controlled by specific families proteins ensures that during endocytosis the right molecules get to the right places. The minimal machinery required for fusion consists of a family of proteins called SNARES and fusion specificity is partly conferred by different combinations of SNARE proteins resident on opposing pre- fusion membranes.

However, SNAREs alone are too promiscuous to account for specificity during all intracellular fusion event and it has been proposed that other molecular mechanisms are also responsible for regulating fusion. One such set of proteins are referred to as tethering molecules which function up stream of SNARE mediated fusion. These tethering molecules have been found and characterized during several different fusion events and they are all very different.

I am working on a set of tethering proteins that function during endosomal fusion. It also appears that they are involved in not only vesicle fusion but also vesicle movement which is really exciting as it bridges two biological fields that don’t really talk to each other i.e. membrane trafficking and the cytoskeleton / vesicle movement people.

LMFDAO @ Simon!

that loox like those "Before - After" comparisons *LOOOOL*!

[mc9mm]

Well here are some pics from my life:

This is were I live:
http://tpc.plastpappa.com/_files/pub/uploaded/3d6586d0b1a6da8230a036dc1f0bfe89.jpg
It's small, but it's really cosy and nice.
Yeah ok so the floor is made of dirt and theres no windows, but I'm looking into that.

This is my garage, and all my cars parked out front.
http://tpc.plastpappa.com/_files/pub/uploaded/05b154469a7a5c22038b0f6bb7bef4f9.jpg

This is the bus I take to work every morning.
I often meet some nice people to chit-chat with.
http://tpc.plastpappa.com/_files/pub/uploaded/0a85157b1b6875aee091aead750f301d.jpg

These are my colleagues:

(It was 31 degrees C, and those pants are airtight, so when
the boss looked the other way we took 'em off)

This is the office's weirdo, He's a bit creepy but as long
as you dont make him upset he's alright ;)

This is me, just exercising to keep the beer-belly in shape.

And finally, this is me 2 minutes ago:

Week off woohooo!!

My excuse is 30 minutes sleep in two days, 14 hour drive, no food, and A LOT of alcohol.

Nah, I left my CD player in the van. This was a hotel room me and some friends stayed in when we went to see Clutch in Morgantown, WV. All I had to listen to at that point in time was my friend AJ's Brooklyn accent.

"Yo, somebody trow me anotha beea!"

[Kevin Taylor]

Holy crap Dr. Simon!
Do you ever look like Mr. Christie
:p

Rask, that was a really great picture! I just hope you didn't take it or you have more limbs than a calm unfrightened person can account for!

[Dr_simon]

Not ugly or mad enough !

Who gives out free pic space? I have some on my hard-drive, but can't seem to find a place (for free, of course) that will let me upload my pics...Any tips?


~Incidents

[Raskolnikov]

Pretty much all of the good free services are now defunct.

I can host a couple of images for you, email them to tpgpc@yahoo.com.

[Led Zeppelin]

OK, so I dont really post here too much as I did but I think Im still a member of the forum so heres a couple of pictures..

And I apologise in advance for being sexier than you all, I really do.

http://members.aol.com/jediann/ooo.jpg

I apologise for my hairstyle in that one too, and my crap shirt.

http://members.aol.com/dundunchh/2.jpg

That's me and my girlfriend last week, she also apologises for being sexier than you all.

http://members.aol.com/dundunchh/1.jpg

In this one, Ive just thrown my breakfast up all over the floor, doctors refuse to figure out whats wrong with me :(

[Led Zeppelin]

And yes that is nail polish DONT ASK

[The Other One]

LOL nice polish LOL

Rask-
I'll send some in a few weeks, I'd like to get a new batch of pics (all the ones on my computer are 1-2 years old).

I can't help it. I'm a bassist.

Low notes are sexier.

;)

[zepp_rules]

this is a horrible picture. i am way sexier:

[Raskolnikov]

Low notes > High notes

(As far as sexiness is concerned)

[Dr_simon]

Guess Im gona have to be content with the:

OLd, ugly, mad, fat and balled prize... Cool !

[Incidents Happen]

How's that Vetta workin out for ya, zepp?

it's my friend's actually. it was pretty good. i was impressed by it. Now he's got the new HD head which he says is a hundred times better

[Led Zeppelin]

Nah, Im way sexier, Im sorry. Sorry Raskolnisomething
