First, you need to reach level 60. That's easy, since the market is overflooded with cheap, high damage weapons. Get one of those and replace it every 7-10 levels or so. If you can, a socket can really kick up your early damage with a ruby. You should dual weild. You should also socket a helm with such to boost your experience. Every piece of gear you wear should include dexterity, vitality and attack speed. Anything else can be nice, but superfluous.
Skills and runes you choose hardly matter at this point, but I suggest a mix of the following. Don't get two mantras, and don't get two generators.
Fist of Thunder
Crippling Wave
Sweeping Wind
Breath of Heaven
Mantra of Conviction
Mantra of Healing
As for passives, resolve, seize the initiative, guardian's path and transcendence are all good choices.
Once you hit 60, Inferno opens up.
Whip out one of the following items:
...and pick one resistance at random. Say, arcane.
Now, you'll sift through the auction house looking for items with: All resistances, arcane resistance, attack speed, dexterity, vitality, and many sockets.
Good values will look like this, kinda:
15-20% attack speed
~50 arcane resistance
~60 all resistances
~100+++ vitality
~100+++ dexterity
1-3 sockets depending on the slot
Once you have every slot of gear with at least 3-4 of each stats, around such values, you're ready to use a new skillset! No, not really. Just go for runes that are more defense oriented, like concussion for crippling wave and so on.
Make sure you use the One With Everything passive. Your arcane resistance will turn into all resistance, giving you a big survivability boost. Oh, and Time of Need on Mantra of Healing is pretty kickass as well, improving that amount by another 20%.

Re: Ultimate monk guide
Good guide, sounds exactly right.

Re: Ultimate monk guide
I'm only using one of your suggested skills, passives look okish. Also, no Near Death Experience?

Re: Ultimate monk guide
Is this ironic? To be honest the only things I agree on are the attack speed and the serenity skill. Obviously the more dex/vit/+ res the better, but the other stuff is based on your preferences.
One with everything is good when you need to stack res quickly at first, but after you get a little wealth you should switch to all res and free a passive slot. Don't understand why so many people disregard way of the hundred fists, it's pretty good. You might want to get life per spirit spent and spirit regen, also crit chance with a lot of builds. Also after reaching a relatively high hit points you'd like to stack a ton of dexterity not only for damage but for massive dodge. With high dodge and good attack speed you will barely get hit by melees. One final tip, damage isn't everything for a monk, I'd happily sacrifice some damage for more life per spirit and other mods. Sadly at this point that is really really expensive.

Re: Ultimate monk guide
dex doesnt scale well the interresting regions of the dex to dodge ratio are beyond what any monk could ever achieve ; also In Inferno champions will be your biggest problem. and many critical effects cannot be dodged ; the only elemental that are dodgeable are that electricity thingy and mortar ; but stuff like molten / plague / firechains can downright melt your face even with extensive kiting.
so AR / all resist is the only way to go ; dodge is a bonus but its not reliable and does not work for many challanges at all.

Re: Ultimate monk guide
I agree on that in part, it doesn't scale well. But achieving +50% is not that hard, using mantra of evasion and the passive that gives 15% dodge I'm at nearly 60% dodge and it makes a huge difference. You still need other defenses of course, that it's just a piece of the puzzle, but in my opinion it improves survivality in a great amount. I'm in inferno too. Try the Belial fight, you can stand still punching him and only move when he throws the meteors. Defeated him multiple times without barely getting hit. Not saying is god mode nor anything similar, just that it helps a lot.

Re: Ultimate monk guide
It's ok, they're just suggestions. I got to 60 in 3 days (not even playing all day) so it worked for me. Note that I had some gold for twinking up.
My experience with NDE is that if you procc it once, you'll probably procc it again. If you get in a situation where you die once, you probably will again, because it'll be the result of something cheesy (vortex+jailer+desecrate+x, for instance). Plus, by having less defense (you skip either 15% dodge, healing on spirit spent or 25% reduction for it), you obviously occasion more NDE proccs.
Dex/vit are necessary to have a minimum of; they provide the basic health pool, dodge and damage you'll be scaling off of. Attack speed is obviously necessary as well, as attacks = spirit = survival. I hardly see how you can skip on either Mantra of Healing or Conviction. Evasion suffers from severe diminishing returns, therefore making it inferior to Healing defensively, even more so then Time of Need is taken into consideration.
No. You should stack more resistances. The goal of OWE is to have +all resists beyond what any other class can achieve, as resists are by far the best and most easily acquired purely defensive stat, beyond Vitality, which you will have if you've followed my item build.
It does less damage per second than FoT. Its attack speed is also lower, reducing spirit generation. It also doesn't knockback. The only thing it has going for it is some AoE, though barely when compared to Thunderclap or the 5th rune (chain lightning).
Life per spirit spent: Very rare mod, generally around 10 hps on the items I've seen (perhaps unlucky). Though, this means that a whole bulb gives you something like 1500 health. Laughable.
Spirit regen: Not worth the stats slot unless it happens to be there as like, the 6th stats. Spawns rarely as well, not that useful since the build only has Mantra of Healing to spam outside cooldowns. And you want it only once per 3 seconds. The cooldowns aren't very hungry themselves.
Dodge has big diminishing returns, especially through dex. It falls off a lot after 800 dex. Regardless of this, resistances scale the same way dodge would in terms of effective hit points.
For some reason, you seem to believe that dodge only works against melee attacks, which has me questionning your experience (the resistance comment ticked me off as well). What have you cleared, out of curiosity?
Resistance also provides "life", which is much easier and cheaper to acquire than spirit-spent-to-health and regen. They can spawn on any pieces, too, unlike spirit related stuff.

Re: Ultimate monk guide
Since when does dex/dodge not scale well? It scales _better_ than both armor and resists. Effective health scales linearly with armor. Your dodge chance scales linearly with dex, which means that your effective health scales super-linearly with dex.
If your dodge chance is kd where k is some constant and d is your dex, your chance to be hit is 1-kd, and your effective health multiplier is 1/(1-kd). This is asymptotic to infinity at d=1/k and grows much faster than any linear function.
People seem to be confused because dodge has breakpoints where additional points in dex have a lower benefit, but the scaling is still linear between breakpoints. You might only get .01% dodge per point of dex after 1000 (the last breakpoint) as opposed to .1% for each point below 100, but you will always get .01% per point above 1000, because the scaling is linear.
Maybe some numbers will help. Against mlvl 60 enemies:
1000 armor 25% DR +33.3% EHP
2000 armor 40% DR +66.6% EHP
3000 armor 50% DR +100% EHP
4000 armor 57% DR +133.35 EHP
1000 dex 30% dodge +43% EHP
2000 dex 40% dodge +66% EHP
3000 dex 50% dodge +100% EHP
4000 armor 60% dodge +150% EHP
At no point is dodge worse in terms of EHP than armor, and you can clearly the super-linear EHP scaling at work.
That isn't to say you want to dump everything into dex, you want a relatively even balance of dodge/resists/armor for best results, but dodge does not scale worse than other forms of mitigation, in fact it scales better.

Re: Ultimate monk guide
Athenau you are right, would have been better if we said diminishing returns. As a monk you get past the last breakpoint fairly quick.
Elementeight I never said dodge only worked for melee to start. Second a mod being rare or that you haven't seen much doesn't mean it doesn't exist, I've seen items with 50 life per spirit, one of my weapons has nearly 40 to start with. The point you make about the resistances is valid though, stacking one kind + the all res mod might get nice resists, isn't there a cap or diminishing returns?
About the spirit generators are you sure? I tried em all and hundred fists seems to out damage the others but not sure. Also I think it is fists of fury if I recall correctly acts similar as thunderclap, dashing and knockbacking, not sure about that too. Crippling wave is nice but seems to regenerate spirit more slowly, which can be a downside if you don't have decent spirit regeneration. Also does less damage. About the mantras, after the nerf to boon of protection I tried overawe for a while, but found the evasion mantras helped me more with survivality against elites. Now that I have better gear I might give a try with the healing one, although save the one with 20% res the others seem lackluster.

Re: Ultimate monk guide
Sorry but for inferno fists of thunder is not a good choice. In fact, Deadly Reach + Keen armor glyphs are a MUST for starters in act 1 inferno. Crippling wave is a no-go compared to deadly reach because many mobs with shielding or invulnarable minions as well as archers and casters will not be affected by the -20% damage done glyph which would need to be used in order to survive. Mantra of healing with resistances or mantra for dodge with extra armor are the 2 best options atm. I'll agree for the passives and the other skills you mention. Someone here mentioned "why no near death experience passive?" The answer is simple: if you died once your probably going to die again very soon, you should invest your passive to help you take more damage, not to ignore death once every 90sec. Deadly reach also provides a ranged attack which saves you from walking into plague and with some good moving from molten and desectrator as well.
About the diminishing returns: what has been said above is right suggesting that your target is a lvl60 monster. A lvl61, 62, 63 or 64 monster in different acts will require MUCH more resistances before you resistances number starts to have bad diminishing returns. E.g. I have 770 resistances, vs a lvl60 target its about 60% dmg reduction if i can recall. But vs a lvl63 its more like 45-50% which means that there are still no heavy diminishing returns.

Accordingly, along with the presidency, the Islamic Consultative Assembly is one of the two republican institutions of the system in Iran that is elected by referendum. With the Parliamentary elections, which are held in every four years, heated debates take place between currents and groups participating in the elections on issues such as the system structure in country, objectives and future of the revolution, and interests of the country. The Parliamentary elections and the results give important clues on understanding how Iranian politics will be shaped and which power groups are determinative in politics. The 9th Parliamentary elections are particularly important as it will be the first general election to be held after the controversial election, in which Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was elected as President for the second time in 2009 and bloody events took place upon the protests of reformist opposition afterwards. In this article, perceptions on primary political groups, the ideas, goals and politics of these groups to participate in the 9th Parliamentary elections that will be held in Iran, as well as perceptions on their future will be introduced.
According to the Constitution of Islamic Republic of Iran, despite the freedom to establish political parties, there is not any organized and strong political party structuring. And the underlying reason is that the electoral system is not organized in a multi-party system but in a non-partisan way. Accordingly, in all the elections held in Iran, candidates can run as an independent candidate if they receive approval of the Guardian Council, and the electors do not vote for parties, but for candidates individually. However, various social organizations in the country serve as political party in intellectual terms and they issue lists composed of candidates they support in the elections. Nevertheless, it is possible to see the name of a candidate in more than one list, as there is no organized political party structuring.
In the 9th Parliamentary elections to be held on Friday, 5 strong political groups competing for 290 seats draw the attention. These groups can be listed as follows: United Principalist Front (Jibheye Mottahade Osoulgarayan), Persevering Front (Jibhaye Paidari), Resistance Front (Jibheye İstadegi), Critics of the Tenth Administration Front (Jibheye Montaghadeene Dowlate Dehom), and Voice of the Nation Front (Jibheye Sadaye Mellat), Faith and Justice Front (Jibheye Vahdet va Adalat). All of these groups are conservative groups. The reformist group, excluded from the political scene upon the arrests taking place in Iran after the 2009 elections and upon the fact that leaders such as Mousavi and Karroubi were put under house arrest, does not participate in the elections to be carried out on Friday. Therefore, 9th Parliamentary elections will witness competition of conservative groups in an environment in which these groups are split.
The United Principlist Front (Jibheye Mottahade Osoulgarayan) is led by Ayatollah Mohammad Reza Mahdavi Kani, Secretary-General of the Militant Clergy Association, and Mohammed Yazdi, Secretary-General of the Combatant Clergy Association. This group, which was established upon the union of many different principalist groups under the same roof as a result of Iran's supreme religious leader Khamene'i's calling his supporters to be in 'unity', describes being principalist in its declaration of the formation on the basis of 'sources' and 'content'. The sources are; Islam, Islamic Republic (constitution), Way of Imam Khomeini, and Velayat-e Faqih. And the content is composed of twelve items, primary ones of which can be listed as follows: To protect Islam, values of Islamic Revolution and Velayat; to respect ulama, to live a modest life, to protect the weak, to believe in legitimate freedoms and religious democracy, to side against enemies and troublemakers, to work under the shadow of Leader (Rahbar) for the harmony of powers, to desire the unity of Islamic Umma. The United Principalist Front announced that with these sources and content, they will work for establishing ground for maintaining 'unity' among the Islamic umma and for making those who wish harm on the Iranian nation fail. [i] This group prepared its most important candidate list for Teheran and many notable people are nominated in this list. Some are personalities such as Gholam Ali Haddad-Adel, who is father-in-law of the son of Iran's supreme leader Khamenei and served as former Speaker of Parliament, Vice-President of the Parliament Sayyid Muhammad Hasan AbuTurabi Fard. Ali Larijani, the current Speaker of Parliament, is supported in the list of Qom province of this group.
The Persevering Front, which is the second most powerful group of the parliamentary elections, was officially established by those who are supporters of Grand Ayatollah Mohammad Taghi Mesbah Yazdi on June 2011. Until the dissidence and conflict between Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Khamene'i and President Ahmadinejad became more profound; Mesbah Yazdi, the real supporter of Ahmadinejad and an effective political figure, withdrew his support from him. Nevertheless, there are many figures among the members of Persevering Front who are also served in the cabinet of Ahmadinejad. People like; Hojjatoleslam Morteza Agha-Tehrani, Ahmadinejad's former Minister of Health Kamran Baqer Lankarani, his legal advisor Gholam Hossein Elham, and fundamentalist clergymen such as Muhammad Hosseinian and Hamid Rasaee grab attention. Describing themselves as real principalists, the Persevering Front call the Iranian people to participate in the elections in unity to fight against internal and external enemies, seditionists (Green Movement) and against deviant current (supporters of Esfandiar Rahim-Mashaei, who is known as the closest figure to Ahmadinejad). They ask the people to fulfill the responsibility of participating in this election within the frame of divine and revolutionary values as they did/have done during the Iran-Iraq war, the December 30th 2009 (when supporters of the current system poured into streets and declared their loyalty to Velayat-i Faqih against the reformist protests after the 2009 presidential elections), during anniversaries of the victory of the Islamic Revolution, various referendums and elections. In a nutshell, the Persevering Front expects the deputy candidates to have this content: Personal loyalty to religious sources, honesty, ability and will in handling state matters and in solving problems of the people; a transparent background in socially and politically protecting the sources of Islamic Revolution, and loyalty to Velayet-i Faqih, an altruistic past, to believe in the discharge of Islamic Revolution, not to have a relation with opposition groups and especially with troublemakers in 2009 elections, not to be related to deviant current, to be transparent regarding the scholarly fight against this current, to stay away from centers of power and wealth, to believe in soft war, and to resist the cultural front of enemy. In addition to all these, the Persevering Front also expects certain scholar and expertise features from the candidates; and these features can be listed as follows: having an expertise or at least having social, cultural and economic knowledge to be sufficient to work in expertise commissions of the Parliament; having an experience in relevant area of expertise in terms of management and practice, and keeping in touch with knowledgeable people both from institutions of religious education (hozeh) and also from universities on the relevant area of expertise.[ii] The Persevering Front announced a list of thirty people among the candidates with these features for Teheran, and six candidates in this list are also found on the list of United Principalist Front. For instance, Gholam Ali Haddad-Adel, who is the most emphasized candidate of the United Principalist Front in Teheran, is also nominated on the Teheran list of the Persevering Front.
Although the Persevering Front states that they do not support the followers of Ahmadinejad, other conservatives make propaganda claiming that this front is the follow-up of the Rayehe-ye Khosh-e Khedmat group (Pleasant Scent of Servitude) established by Ahmadinejad and his supporters. So much so that Tehran MP Hamid Reza Katouzian claimed that Rahim Mashaee is the secret supporter behind the Persevering Front. [iii]
The third important conservative group competing in the 9th Parliamentary elections is the Resistance Front led by the retired Major General Mohsen Rezaee. Rezaee, who was the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps Chief Commander between years 1981-1997, is currently the Secretary of the Expediency Discernment Council of the Islamic Republic of Iran (constitutional institution established in 1988 to resolve differences or conflicts between the Majlis and the Council of Guardians). And the Secretary-General of the Resistance Front is Hojjatoleslam Yadollah Habibi, who was once the ideological and political director of the armed forces. In declaration issued by the Resistance Front for the 9th Parliamentary elections, it is stated that these elections are quite important both because of the internal situation of the country and also because of the special conditions of the international environment. While describing the internal situation of the country, the Resistance Front mentions economic and social goals such as the economic situation, unemployment, reaching the objective of the program of rearranging subventions, and achievement of the 20-year development plan that was put into practice in 2004. In the declaration, it is highlighted that nation's love and determination will achieve these goals with the formation of the 9th Assembly as a result of these elections. And in the international environment, it is stated that the enemies of Islam and Iran spread terror and violence through scientific and economic sanctions, that scientists of the country being terrorized, and that they raise difficulties to prevent benefiting from peaceful nuclear science in order to break the resistance spirit of the Iranian nation and the Islamic awakening in the region. Stating that the 9th Parliamentary elections will ruin all these plans of enemies, Resistance Front calls the people to go to the polls and to protect the Islamic order, Velayet-i Faqih, ideals of martyrs, divine-political will of Imam Khomeini by doing their Islamic and national duty once again.[iv] Some of the candidates of this group, which announced list for many provinces, also take place in the lists of United Principalist Front and Persevering Front. In addition to this, the fact that the names of many former members of the Revolutionary Guard Corps are put in the lists draw the attention.
Other important groups making their presence felt before the elections are Critics of the Tenth Administration Front and Voice of the Nation Front which are composed of anti-Ahmadinejad conservatives. The Critics of the Tenth Administration Front is led by Ali Abbaspour Tehrani, and its Speaker is Hamid Reza Katouzian. As critics of Ahmadinejad government the Front, which introduce themselves as loyal to the ideals of the Islamic Revolution, underlines the necessity of creating area of freedom, strengthening the system, and struggling with external threats. According to the Front, the current requirement of the Iranian society is to struggle with illegality, to promote justice and rationalism, to respect freedoms and rights of the people within the frame of Constitution; to do so, a powerful assembly is needed.[v] On the other hand, Voice of the Nation Front states in the declaration signed by Ali Motahari, Ali Abbaspour Tehrani, Hamid Reza Katouzian and Reza Hosseini that the organizers of this movement recognize themselves as principalist and that they agree with principalists with the dominance of religious values and necessity of velayet-i faqih despite the fact that their preferences conflict with the preferences of some people from the principalist group.[vi] These anti-Ahmadinejad fronts, which are relatively smaller compared to the other groups, declared a list, in which they support sixteen candidates in Tehran province.
Lastly, we can mention the Faith and Justice Front that is composed of the supporters of Ahmadinejad. This Front declared that it is necessary to have an administration in line with the ideas of the leaders of Islamic Revolution in the country as implemented by the ninth and tenth governments under presidency of Ahmadinejad. Stating that they are in need of declaring their own independent lists because of the absence of desired and idealist candidates in the lists of other groups, the Front declared thirty names, some of whom are also found in the lists of other groups, for the Tehran province.[vii] However, Hojjatoleslam Morteza Agha Tehrani, who is also found in Persevering Front that follows Mesbah Yazdi, made a statement regarding that they have no relation between this front known as the supporter of Rahim Mashaee and that he did not give any permission for his name to take place in this list. [viii] As a matter of fact, while other principalists criticize Ahmadinejad and Mashaee supporters as being the deviant current, they accused the Persevering Front, which declared they would not even nominate the ones related to this current as candidate, of receiving secret support from Mashaee. The strong reaction of Agha Tehrani to his being presented as candidate by Faith and Justice Front could be understood in this manner.
On the other side of the spectrum is found the reformists and Green Movement excluded from the politics after the 2009 presidential elections. However, as their leaders were under house arrest, and a significant segment of society taking part in this front such as intellectuals, politicians, lawyers, human rights defenders, students were either in prison or left the country; it was not possible for them to organize for the Parliamentary elections. As a matter of fact, the Reformist Front Coordination Council announced that pro-reform groups of the country would not participate in elections in recent couple of months. The candidacies of reformists, who are called "seditionits" (fitnegara) makers by the principalists and considered as enemies within the country, would not be approved by the Guardian Council anyway. For these reasons, the reformist list does not take place in the elections. The high rate of participation in elections in Iran is considered as the proof that Islamic regime is approved by the people and that its legitimacy still continues. Therefore, the reformists, who are excluded from the system and who do not have political representation, call the people to boycott the elections. In the statement made by the Coordinating Council of the Green Path of Hope (Rahe Sabze Omid) last Thursday, it was indicated that participating in the "rubber-stamp elections" would mean maintaining policies against national interests and desires of the people and consolidating tyranny. The Council stated that taking part in elections would be against the national ideals of 1979 Revolution rather than being a national duty; thus it is not against Shari'ah. Besides completely boycotting the elections, the Council called the supporters of Green Movement to explicitly emphasize illegitimacy of the elections in a public domain on March 1st right before the election date. Along with the Freedom Movement of Iran (Nehzate Azadiye Iran), which was declared unlawful, other major reformist groups such as the Mojahedin of the Islamic Revolution Organization (Sazman-e Mojaheeden-e Enghelab-e Eslami) and the Islamic Iran Participation Front (Mosharekat) also support the call for boycotting elections.[ix]
On the other hand, the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, whose increasing role in Iranian politics is being mentioned frequently especially in recent years and which had undeniably supported the election of Ahmadinejad as President, announced on an article, written by Brigadier General Yadollah Javani in Sobh-e Sadegh Journal, what kind of candidates they would support. Accordingly, Javani asserted that they would support the candidates, who do not consider themselves separate from public, who are revolutionist, supporter of Velayat, stands against the U.S., Israel and other 'authoritarian' regimes, who are pious and faithful, who are against sedition (fitna) and deviant currents (jarayane enferadi), who are not related to centers of power and wealth, and who are intellectual, smart, capable and not afraid of enemy. [x] All fronts require most of these features in their candidates. However, the features such as staying away from centers of power and wealth, being against seditionist and deviant currents, and not being afraid of enemy are only required by the Persevering Front. To this respect, it could be suggested that the Iranian Revolutionary Guards will give more support to the candidates of Mesbah Yazdi and Persevering Front than the other candidates.
All in all, 9th Iranian Parliamentary elections will witness the competition of conservative groups in the country among themselves. The emphasis regarding that Iran is besieged by internal and external enemies is one of the most striking slogans of the election atmosphere. It is explained to the people by emphasizing that it is quite important to go to the polls and show their support to the system in fighting against these enemies and in defining future of the country. Therefore, it is obvious that the participation in elections and patriotism is lumped together. Furthermore, the election results will also show whether the power struggle between Khamene'i and Ahmadinejad will be in favor of the former or the latter. At the same time, it will also give signals regarding who could be elected as president after Ahmadinejad in the presidential elections to be held next year.

SHOCKWAVE II205 lumens of warm incandescent light are sure to bring out the true beauty of the ocean. While LEDs have recently taken the forefront in the dive light world, Xenon dive lights are still preferred by many divers for their lighter weight and color temperature that has the ability to bring out the natural colors of the reef. And with 8C batteries and a burntime of ten hours, the Shockwave II is made to provide divers with the best night dive experience possible. SHOCKWAVE II |

"It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle."

Synthetic fluid changes all around. Need info please.
Just picked up a 2001 Suburban 4x4 with 96k on the clock. It's cherry and we love it.
Being new to me, I'd like to start off with all new fluids. I'm a huge proponent of synthetic fluids and plan on using Mobil 1 for all of it.
What weight do I use for the
Rear diff
Front diff
Transfer case
I've replaced gear oil before but never tranny fluid. I assume there is a drain hole. Or do I pull the pan? Since there is dino oil in there now, how do I assure a complete drain including torque converter? I'd like to do a 100% tranny fluid change but is this recommended? I've heard that when you go into a shop to get a change you only really get a small % actually changed.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Off the top of my head the only place I can think of that ID's or classes might be relevant is in the use of microformats, and even then, only indirectly. Microformats are often used by some services (local listings come to mind) and if your site does well in those services due to proper use of microformats, then that site will likely lend you link juice that will help your overall results.

Americans with Disabilities Act
What Is the ADA?
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a federal civil rights law intended to protect qualified persons with disabilities from discrimination in employment, education, public services and programs, transportation, public accommodations, and telecommunications. The Federal regulations implemented by the ADA were designed to supplement and complement other Federal and State laws which protect persons with disabilities.
Who Is Covered Under the ADA?
The ADA defines "disability," with respect to an individual, as: (a) a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more of the major life activities of such individual; or (b) a record of such impairment; or (c) being regarded as having such impairment. A substantial impairment is one that significantly limits or restricts a major life activity which includes, but is not limited to, hearing, walking, learning, seeing, breathing, caring for oneself, and performing manual tasks.
Support Programs Available for Persons with Disabilities
There are several on-campus programs that provide support and advocacy for persons with disabilities. Services are also available to assist faculty and staff in providing accommodations to students with disabilities. Employees and students with documented disabilities may request modifications, accommodations or auxiliary aids.

Customize backend style and UI
29 March 2010 at 1:36am
Whats the best way to modify the backend UI a little bit?
Ive red saphire framework let you change things but I wonder If I would like to change the TAB styling for example how to do that.Are there backend themes? To skin the backend?
Re: Customize backend style and UI
29 March 2010 at 8:17pm
You can define a editor.css in your theme which is included in the backend. You could probably use this as a crude way of getting in and overriding css / images in the backend.
If you want to customize templates or do anything more drastic then your need to make a themes/yourtheme_cms/ folder and in that you should be able to override the css, templates.
Re: Customize backend style and UI
29 March 2010 at 8:33pm
Thanks Willr
So I create a /themes/myname_cms/ and copy all /images/ /css /templates from /cms/* inside that?
Re: Customize backend style and UI
29 March 2010 at 8:40pm
Hmm just tried this myself and it looks like the path to the css files are hardcoded, I thought the links should have been themedCSS but appears not. You can try doing that. If you don't have any luck use the editor.css to override it.
Re: Customize backend style and UI
30 March 2010 at 3:24pm
Hey Willr,
I'm not having any luck with this with 2.4 beta1. Is there any other way to set some custom CSS in the admin side? I need to apply 2-3 classes so nothing huge, but editor.css doesn't seem to get loaded in scope. For example,
body.CMSMain {
background: aqua;
}doesn't show anything.

Re: Customize backend style and UI
30 March 2010 at 10:43pm
Can the dev team make this non hardcoded and a setting in the config files?
So we can easily override this? -
Re: Customize backend style and UI
31 March 2010 at 9:17am
jorrie just had a look through the code and changing the css links to the themedCSS won't work since it'll include your themes main files but I have stumbled across another way to do it. LeftAndMain::init() has a extend() call (at least in 2.4) so you can override with a custom LeftAndMain extension.
// mysite/code/MyCustomLeft.php
<?phpclass MyCustomLeft extends Extension {
public function init() {
}Then add the extension in your _config
// add to the mysite/_config.php
Object::add_extension('LeftAndMain', 'MyCustomLeft');Will load an admin.css file from your theme.
Re: Customize backend style and UI
31 March 2010 at 9:20am
Wow! Thanks Willr. I really appreciate that. I'm using 2.4, so this will be really valuable. Thx!!

Comments about Peacock Eye Kit:
These were so great! Everyone at the party commented on them and said how pretty they were! The only reason I wrote be careful under "con" is you have to be careful removing them from the plastic and putting them on. They are delicate. BUT if you take your time removing them and carefully place them, you'll be fine. If you try and just rip them off and place them, they WILL tear or fold in on themselves. Great product! The glitter goo added the perfect touch.

Comments about Peacock Eye Kit:
Is there a reason to NOT love Halloween? I made a peacock costume this year and saw this on another website for a lot more than Spirit was offering it. I'm still not sure what they are referring to in the description when they say two bottom pieces are included. There are the top pieces, the lashes, the glitter glue, and the eyelash adhesive, but that's all that came in mine.
Be careful taking them off the paper and placing them on your eyes since they are delicate though. I can't wait to see the finished product for the costume party! Thanks, Spirit Halloween!

noun \klō-ˈā-kə\Definition of CLOACA
Origin of CLOACA
noun \klō-ˈā-kə\ (Medical Dictionary)Medical Definition of CLOACA
noun (Concise Encyclopedia)In vertebrates, common chamber and outlet into which the intestinal, urinary, and genital tracts open. It is present in amphibians, reptiles, birds, some fishes (e.g., sharks), and monotreme mammals but is absent in placental mammals and most bony fishes. Certain animals (e.g., many reptiles and some birds, including ducks) have an accessory organ (penis) within the cloaca that is used to direct the sperm into the female's cloaca. Most birds mate by joining their cloacas in a cloacal kiss; muscular contractions transfer the sperm from the male to the female.

Theoretical Study of the Structure and Dynamic Fluctuations of Dioxolane-Linked Gramicidin Channels Biophysical Journal, Volume 84, Issue 2, 1 February 2003, Pages 816-831 Ching-Hsing Yu, Samuel Cukierman and Régis Pomès Abstract Gramicidin is a hydrophobic peptide that assembles as a head-to-head dimer in lipid membranes to form water-filled channels selective to small monovalent cations. Two diastereoisomeric forms, respectively SS and RR, of chemically modified channels in which a dioxolane ring links the formylated N-termini of two gramicidin monomers, were shown to form ion channels. To investigate the structural basis underlying experimentally measured differences in proton conductance in the RR and SS channels, we construct atomic-resolution models of dioxolane-linked gramicidin dimers by analogy with the native dimer. A parametric description of the linker compatible with the CHARMM force field used for the peptide is derived by fitting geometry, vibrational frequencies, and energy to the results of ab initio calculations. The linker region of the modified gramicidin dimers is subjected to an extensive conformational search using high-temperature simulated annealing, and free-energy surfaces underlying the structural fluctuations of the channel backbone at 298K are computed from molecular dynamics simulations. The overall secondary structure of the β-helical gramicidin pore is retained in both linked channels. The SS channel is found in a single conformation resembling that of the native dimer, with its peptide bonds undergoing rapid librations with respect to the channel axis. By contrast, its RR counterpart is characterized by local backbone distortions in which the two peptide bonds flanking the linker are markedly tilted in order to satisfy the pitch of the helix. In these distorted structures, each of the two carbonyl groups points either in or out of the lumen. Flipping these two peptides in and out involves thermally activated transitions, which results in four distinct conformational states at equilibrium with one another on a nanosecond time scale. This work opens the way to detailed comparative studies of structure–function relationships in biological proton ducts. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (401 kb) |
The Conduction of Protons in Different Stereoisomers of Dioxolane-Linked Gramicidin A Channels Biophysical Journal, Volume 77, Issue 5, 1 November 1999, Pages 2479-2491 Edward P. Quigley, Paulene Quigley, David S. Crumrine and Samuel Cukierman Abstract Two different stereoisomers of the dioxolane-linked gramicidin A (gA) channels were individually synthesized (the SS and RR dimers; Stankovic et al., 1989. Science. 244:813–817). The structural differences between these dimers arise from different chiralities within the dioxolane linker. The SS dimer mimics the helicity and the inter- and intramolecular hydrogen bonding of the monomer-monomer association of gA's. In contrast, there is a significant disruption of the helicity and hydrogen bonding pattern of the ion channel in the RR dimer. Single ion channels formed by the SS and RR dimers in planar lipid bilayers have different proton transport properties. The lipid environment in which the different dimers are reconstituted also has significant effects on single-channel proton conductance (gH). gH in the SS dimer is about 2–4 times as large as in the RR. In phospholipid bilayers with 1M [H+]bulk, the current-voltage (I-V) relationship of the SS dimer is sublinear. Under identical experimental conditions, the I-V plot of the RR dimer is supralinear (S-shaped). In glycerylmonooleate bilayers with 1M [H+]bulk, both the SS and RR dimers have a supralinear I-V plot. Consistent with results previously published (Cukierman et al., 1997. Biophys. J. 73:2489–2502), the SS dimer is stable in lipid bilayers and has fast closures. In contrast, the open state of the RR channel has closed states that can last a few seconds, and the channel eventually inactivates into a closed state in either phospholipid or glycerylmonooleate bilayers. It is concluded that the water dynamics inside the pore as related to proton wire transfer is significantly different in the RR and SS dimers. Different physical mechanisms that could account for this hypothesis are discussed. The gating of the synthetic gA dimers seems to depend on the conformation of the dioxolane link between gA's. The experimental results provide an important framework for a detailed investigation at the atomic level of proton conduction in different and relatively simple ion channel structures.

Covalently Linked Gramicidin Channels: Effects of Linker Hydrophobicity and Alkaline Metals on Different Stereoisomers Biophysical Journal, Volume 80, Issue 4, 1 April 2001, Pages 1810-1818 Kathryn M. Armstrong, Edward P. Quigley, Paulene Quigley, David S. Crumrine and Samuel Cukierman Abstract The direct role of the dioxolane group on the gating and single-channel conductance of different stereoisomers of the dioxolane-linked gramicidin A (gA) channels reconstituted in planar lipid bilayers was investigated. Four different covalently linked gA dimers were synthesized. In two of them, the linker was the conventional dioxolane described previously (SS and RR channels). Two gAs were covalently linked with a novel modified dioxolane group containing a retinal attachment (ret-SS and ret-RR gA dimers). These proteins also formed ion channels in lipid bilayers and were selective for monovalent cations. The presence of the bulky and hydrophobic retinal group immobilizes the dioxolane linker in the bilayer core preventing its rotation into the hydrophilic lumen of the pore. In 1M HCl the gating kinetics of the SS or RR dimers were indistinguishable from their retinal counterparts; the dwell-time distributions of the open and closed states in the SS and ret-SS were basically the same. In particular, the inactivation of the RR was not prevented by the presence of the retinal group. It is concluded that neither the fast closing events in the SS or RR dimers nor the inactivation of the RR are likely to be a functional consequence of the flipping of the dioxolane inside the pore of the channel. On the other hand, the inactivation of the RR dimer was entirely eliminated when alkaline metals (Cs+ or K+) were the permeating cations in the channel. In fact, the open state of the RR channel became extremely stable, and the gating characteristics of both the SS and RR channels were different from what was seen before with permeating protons. As in HCl, the presence of a retinal in the dioxolane linker did not affect the gating behavior of the SS and RR in Cs+- or K+-containing solutions. Alternative hypotheses concerning the gating of linked gA dimers are discussed. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (188 kb) |

The transfer of protons in membrane proteins is an essential phenomenon in biology. However, the basic rules by which H+ transfer occurs in water wires inside proteins are not well characterized. In particular, the effects of specific atoms and small groups of atoms on the rate of H+ transfer in water wires are not known. In this study, new covalently linked gramicidin-A (gA) peptides were synthesized, and the effects of specific atoms and peptide constraints on the rate of H+ transfer were measured in single molecules. The N-termini of two gA peptides were linked to various molecules: S,S-cyclopentane diacid, R,R-cyclopentane diacid, and succinic acid. Single-channel proton conductances (gH) were measured at various proton concentrations ([H+]) and compared to previous measurements obtained in the S,S- and R,R-dioxolane-linked as well as in native gA channels. Replacing the S,S-dioxolane by an S,S-cyclopentane had no effects on the gH-[H+] relationships, suggesting that the constrained and continuous transition between the two gA peptides via these S,S linkers is ultimately responsible for the two- to fourfold increase in gH relative to native gA channels. It is likely that constraining a continuous transition between the two gA peptides enhances the rate of H+ transfer in water wires by decreasing the number of water wire configurations that do not transfer H+ at higher rates as in native gA channels (a decrease in the activation entropy of the system). On the other hand, gH values in the R,R-cyclopentane are considerably larger than those in R,R-dioxolane-linked gA channels. One explanation would be that the electrostatic interactions between the oxygens in the dioxolane and adjacent carbonyls in the R,R-dioxolane-linked gA channel attenuate the rate of H+ transfer in the middle of the pore. Interestingly, gH-[H+] relationships in the R,R-cyclopentane-linked gA channel are quite similar to those in native gA channels. gH values in succinyl-linked gA channels display a wide distribution of values that is well represented by a bigaussian. The larger peaks of these distributions are similar to gH values measured in native gA channel. This observation is also consistent with the notion that constraining the transition between the two β-helical gA peptides enhances the rate of H+ transfer in water wires by decreasing the activation entropy of the system.

Really like this scent and will always be part of my collection.
Thread: creed windsor review |
applied several swabs to both sleeves of my cotton sweatshirt around 5pm tonight..when i first applied this i noticed something a little bit like mint...not easily to say what type of mint,,,but definite mint that lasted for maybe 2 minutes tops,,then after that it was straight rose...very earthy raw natural rose....not a candy rose type scent.....i do not notice any other notes besides rose and the fleeting opening of mint(or mint like substance)
seems to have the same rose note as kerosene whips and roses but a little bit weaker.
not to thrilled over this scent,,,,rose does not really do anything for me so i am a little bit bias
14 sprays of DRAKKAR NOIR should do it
Really like this scent and will always be part of my collection.
14 sprays of DRAKKAR NOIR should do it
Another great review.
14 sprays of DRAKKAR NOIR should do it
Sorry, but have never thought there was any resemblance to Whips and Roses.
Try spraying on your skin rather than applying a couple of swabs to a sweatshirt.
im a big fan of the creed house and want to try this one.
but being limited edition, it puts me off. i like to know that what i have in my collection will last forever.
This one was a gargantuan disappointment to me. In my case it was because it did not have *enough* rose... I did get a lot of eucalyptus, however (a note I dislike). Not a good one, IMO.

Sojitz Corporation (双日株式会社 Sōjitsu Kabushiki-gaisha?) is a trading corporation based in Tokyo, Japan. It operates in many industries, including construction, forestry, plastics, chemicals, mining, petroleum, textiles, and international trade. Sojitz also participates in joint ventures with foreign companies in Japan.
"Sojitz" literally means "double 日" or "the twin 日". The company was formed by the merger of two companies, both with names containing the character "日" meaning "sun" or "day":
- Nissho Iwai Corporation (日商岩井株式会社 Nisshō Iwai Kabushiki-gaisha?)
- Nichimen Corporation (ニチメン株式会社 Nichimen Kabushiki-gaisha?), originally Japan Cotton Corporation (日本綿花株式会社 Nihon Menka Kabushiki-gaisha?). "Nichimen" is a contraction of "Nihon Menka", literally "Japan Cotton", referring to its original business of cotton importing.
The character 日 may be pronounced either "nichi" or "jitsu", with assimilation to the following consonant in words like Nisshō (日商). It is also exceptionally pronounced "ni" in Nihon ("Japan").
"Sojitz" (Sōjitsu), the "twin 日", implies a merger of equals.
Sojitz was formed in 2004 by the merger of Nissho Iwai Corporation (日商岩井株式会社 Nisshō Iwai Kabushiki-gaisha?) and Nichimen Corporation (ニチメン株式会社 Nichimen Kabushiki-gaisha?).

R to L (Japanese Style). The Age Decides the Man Second only to Shishio Makoto when it comes to skill with a blade, the emotionless warrior Seta SMjirM�s speed and agility are pushing Kenshin to the breaking point. But how did a seemingly humble man such as SMjirM decide to ally himself with the ruthless hitokiri Shishio? Mid-battle, SMjirM pauses to reflect back on his fateful encounter with the man to whom he would one day pledge his loyalty. Has SMjirM truly reconciled himself to his master's downright homicidal worldview? And finally, Kenshin's long-awaited duel with Shishio commences. With nothing less than the future of Japan hanging in the balance, Kenshin's resolution to never again take a life is about to be put to the ultimate test. Assistance also comes from Sanosuke, SaitM Hajime and Shinomori Aoshi, but to the power-hungry Shishio, men even of their caliber can be swatted down like so many flies. Will someone find Shishio's weakness before he annihilates the greatest swordsmen the Meiji Era has to offer? Furthermore, can Kenshin's dream for a new Japan be possible as long as Shishio still draws breath?
Nobuhiro Watsuki earned international accolades for his first major manga series, Rurouni Kenshin, about a wandering swordsman in Meiji Era Japan. Serialized in Japan's Weekly Shonen Jump from 1994 to 1999, Rurouni Kenshin quickly became a worldwide sensation, inspiring a spin-off short story ("Yahiko no Sakabato"), an animated TV series, and several animated movies. Watsuki's latest series, Buso Renkin, also available in English from VIZ Media, began publication in Weekly Shonen Jump in June 2003.

Learning to Change Trauma Response Patterns

A trauma survivor shares her story of struggling to understand the complexities of trauma response in her life. Trauma re-enactment leaves an unpredictable mark on her life, often when she least expects it. She describes her path toward understanding trauma patterns and creating positive change. Her story is a powerful illustration of the need for trauma-informed care.
I was sitting in the kitchen playing with my doll, deep in happy imagination. Suddenly, a loud noise interrupted the peace and quiet and I began to cry and shake. I mistakenly thought my father was home and was drunk.
As a 5-year-old child, I learned to anticipate that calm always led to violence. Years of living in abuse have left me with this learned trauma response. As an adult, progress is often followed by a crisis of sudden illness, surgeries, an episode of mental illness, or struggles with gambling. My behavior becomes unpredictable as my brain tries to protect me from a new trauma. Trauma re-enactment creates barriers that keep me from achieving stability in my life and work.
Trauma re-enactment has left its mark on my career. For example, I was doing very well recently. My assignments were completed on time, my supervisor was pleased with my work, and I was beginning to socialize with my colleagues. I felt respected and encouraged. Suddenly, doubts about my abilities emerged and increased to a crippling preoccupation. I came down with laryngitis, breathing difficulties, and severe abdominal pain. I concluded that my illness was severe. It led to a prolonged absence and an application for short-term disability. It felt like a severe stress reaction. I wondered, "What could be a source of all this stress? Everything was going so well!"
The answer was surprising and at first seemed unbelievable: my stress was related to the calm of doing well.
Gaining knowledge about this stress shifted it from a source of despair to a new tool for recovery. Learning to transform my awareness of destructive patterns into tools for positive change is a gift of effective therapy. I, along with other consumers who are committed to changing old patterns, am often unaware of the significance of trauma driving me to make choices that do not serve me well. Furthermore, changing old patterns - even when we are highly motivated- can be harder than we ever imagined. Change requires becoming aware of individual responses to stress and then actively creating new habits and responses. Repeating old patterns can feel ridiculous to us, and our allies. However, trauma responses do not play by the normal intellectual rules of life. Journaling is one method I use to become familiar with my old patterns.
It is my hope that providers will help consumers to assess personal patterns and behaviors, to educate us about trauma reactions, and partner with us to find new solutions as we continue our journeys. My hope is that this will be useful to others who share my dilemma of feeling compelled to repeat the trauma. My goal is to continue to use myself as an example, thereby shedding light on one of many possible paths to recovery.

Barbara Franks from Anchorage

Thank you for sharing your story with me, I think I can write a book on how stress has affected my life. My hair was breaking and hurt my head to wash my hair, my eye glasses were 4 times the strength they should have been, my skin breaks out in psorasis the closer I get to the date my son completd his suicide, two days before my husband of 25 years died of cancer.
When I have to deal with the skin, it is irratating but I pale in comparison to others I deal with that have had suicidal thoughts.
I am at the right place at the right time to work with suicide prevention awareness and we have already had enormous and positive results but my body still has something inside that is working against my mind. It IS difficult to have so many good things going on and my body has a difficult time dealing with that... sigh! I pray to share this with others also so someone can come up with how we can deal with this, yes, journaling is good. /Barb

The #1 source for fashion inspiration from real people around the world.
HYPE the looks you like to make them hot —or post your own! learn more or sign up now!
For Halloween I didn't know what I wanted to dress up as, but one thing was for sure, I wanted to paint myself.
I haven't had any previous experience of face painting and I really wanted to give it a good go.
The face/hand paint was the highlight of the look and the outfit was subtle but suitable, making sure to not take away from the make up. I'm a half skeleton half human, you can interpret this in whatever way you want. I like to think of it as a normal girl who has a dark side, slightly evil and terrifying.
After painting my face, to finish off the look, I painted my hand as well, so that it would look more legit and not un-finished. I wore the tights so I didn't have to paint my leg too! haha
I aimed to make a big contrast between the two sides, separate but together. The same thing with the outfit, the classy top with a darker bottom.
WOW! Perfect picture |
amazing ♡ |
I love it <3 |
wow i love it! Great idea ! :) |
Juliette M. @theredcoatodyssey Pretty impressive! |

Mary Baker was a cobbler's daughter who, in 1817, appeared in a British village speaking a strange language. She claimed to be Princess Caraboo, from the island of Javasu in the Indian Ocean, and drew visitors and admirers from far and wide before she was exposed.
An Exotic Stranger
Mary Baker was born Mary Willcocks in Witheridge in Devon, England in 1791. Little is known about her early life.
In April 1871, Baker arrived at the home in Almondsbury in Gloucestershire, England. Speaking an exotic language and dressed in a black turban and unusual clothes, Baker appeared to come from a foreign land. The cobbler and his wife took her to the county officials.
The local overseer for the poor, unsure of what to do with the woman, took her to the county magistrate, Sam Worrall, and his wife Elizabeth. The Worralls were suspicious of Baker, and took her to stay at the local inn for the night. At the inn, Baker pointed to a pineapple, and excitedly indicted that it was a fruit from her homeland called "Anana"— which means pineapple in several different languages. She also chanted a strange prayer, and slept on the floor.
Conning the Locals
Back at the Worralls', the mystery of their strange guest's identity was becoming clear. Portugese sailor claimed to understand Baker's story and translated what she was saying. Her name was Princess Caraboo, he said, and she hailed from he island of Javaus in the Indian Ocean. He said she had been kidnapped by pirates, and escaped by jumping overboard and swimming ashore.
Impressed by their guest's royal background, the Worralls announced her presence in newspapers. The news spread fast, and for weeks admirers visited the Worralls' home. Baker put on a show, praying to her god 'Alla Tallah,' climbing trees, and swimming naked.
Alas, Princess Caraboo's charade didn't last forever. A woman named Mrs. Neale recognized a description of Caraboo in a newspaper, and realized that Caraboo was her former servant. Working in Mrs. Neale's home, Baker has made up nonsense languages to entertain the children. Finally, Baker admitted that Princess Caraboo was an act.
The Worralls shipped Baker off to Philadelphia, where she attempted the Princess Caraboo act yet again. Legend has it that on the way she even stopped off at the Island of Helena, to visit Napoleon in exile. After seven years, she returned to England. In 1828, going by the name Mary Burgess, she gave birth to a daughter. She later worked selling leeches to a hospital in Bristol, and died in Bristol on December 24,1864. The 1994 film Princess Caraboo, starring Phoebe Cates, was based on her story.
Baker's con, though seemingly outrageous, played on many of the stereotypes already held by many people in England at the time. Her portrayal of an Eastern woman—mysterious, exotic, sexual—was borne of the depiction of the Orient in popular literature at the time.
