Dynamin is a GTPase responsible for endocytosis in the eukaryotic cell. Dynamins are principally involved in the scission of newly formed vesicles from the membrane of one cellular compartment and their targeting to, and fusion with, another compartment, both at the cell surface (particularly caveolae internalization) as well as at the Golgi apparatus.[1][2][3] Dynamin also plays a role in many processes including division of organelles,[4] cytokinesis and microbial pathogen resistance.
Dynamin is part of the "dynamin superfamily," which includes classical dynamins, dynamin-like proteins, Mx proteins, OPA, mitofusins, and GBPs. Dynamin itself is a 96 kDa enzyme, and was first isolated when researchers were attempting to isolate new microtubule-based motors from the bovine brain. Dynamin has been extensively studied in the context of clathrin-coated vesicle budding from the cell membrane.[3][5]
As a vesicle invaginates, dynamin forms a spiral around the neck of the vesicle. Once the spiral is in place, it extends lengthwise and constricts through GTP hydrolysis. This lengthening and tightening of the coil around the vesicle neck causes it to break and results in the pinching off of the vesicle from the parent membrane. An example of a vesicle is a clathrin-coated pit.[2][5]
To view a 'cartoon' image of the non-constricted and constricted state of dynamin spirals, please follow this link: http://dynamin.niddk.nih.gov/figure5.html.[2] The first structure on the left is dynamin in its relaxed state. The structure on the right is dynamin in its constricted state. This shows the extent to which dynamin tightens and changes when GTP is converted to GDP.[1]
This constriction is in part the result of the twisting activity of dynamin [6] This twisting required GTP hydrolysis. Dynamin is the only molecular motor known to have a twisting activity. Dynamin is a right-handed helix and has a right-handed twisting activity that explains its tightening and the reduction in the pitch of the helix described above.
In mammals, three different dynamin genes have been identified:
- Dynamin I is expressed in neurons and neuroendocrine cells
- Dynamin II is expressed in most cell types
- Dynamin III is strongly expressed in the testis, but is also present in heart, brain, and lung tissue.[1][5]
Disease implications[edit]
Mutations in Dynamin II have been found to cause dominant intermediate Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease.[7]

InterPro entry IPR000375
Dynamin is a microtubule-associated force-producing protein of 100 Kd which is involved in the production of microtubule bundles. At the N terminus of dynamin is a GTPase domain (see INTERPRO), and at the C terminus is a PH domain (see INTERPRO). Between these two domains lies a central region of unknown function, which this entry represents.Gene Ontology

For those sequences which have a structure in the Protein DataBank, we use the mapping between UniProt, PDB and Pfam coordinate systems from the PDBe group, to allow us to map Pfam domains onto UniProt sequences and three-dimensional protein structures. The table below shows the structures on which the Dynamin_M domain has been found. There are 28 instances of this domain found in the PDB. Note that there may be multiple copies of the domain in a single PDB structure, since many structures contain multiple copies of the same protein seqence.

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. - Saturday and Sunday are two of the most important days of the year for West Virginia's football recruiting efforts.
A week from Sunday, too. And then again on July 27.
Those aren't random dates. They are the days WVU hosts its four one-day football camps.
And they are really the only days that West Virginia's coaches have an opportunity to see what a kid can do.
It's the same all across the country, of course, whether it's Alabama or Azusa Pacific, Michigan State or Montclair State, West Virginia or West Chester.
Sure, there's tons of information out there. Some of it is even fairly reliable. Game tapes don't lie, even if high school coaches sometimes do. College coaches can go watch kids play, they can talk to them, text them, send them love letters, whatever.
And that's not even to mention scouting services and websites. Really now, if the Internet wasn't invented specifically for wannabe football recruiting geniuses, well, it's done a pretty good job of providing them with a forum. With a click of a button you can discover almost any potential college player's height, weight, 40-yard-dash time and who seems interested in his services.
What more could a college coach want?
Well, how about hands-on experience with the kid, even if it's just for a few hours?
"There's no substitute for that,'' said Ryan Dorchester, charged with serving as WVU's recruiting coordinator, in part, and sifting through the volumes of information available. "The camps are big for everyone.''
Once upon a time, football camps were just a summer diversion for both coaches and players. Players might hone a few skills and coaches made a little extra money. Both are still true, but almost as an afterthought.
Somewhere along the line some smart coach realized the potential that had always been there but was no doubt being underutilized. Players saw the same thing. It was the perfect opportunity to see (for coaches) and be seen (for players).
So now, prospects will devote an entire summer almost to touring camps, and coaches make sure the prospects they'd like to see know exactly when they can be seen. For example, if a player in whom WVU is interested doesn't know exactly when the school's camps are scheduled, well, someone has fallen asleep at the switch.
Getting a prospect to visit one of your camps is as important as getting one of his five official visits, sometimes more so. Once there, coaches can put him through drills designed to answer their questions about him.

Spice-Rubbed Ham Recipe
Now THIS is a ham—sweet and smoky, with just enough clove and ginger flavor to let you know you're in for a holiday treat. —Sharon Tipton, Winter Garden, Florida
- 1 fully cooked semi-boneless ham (8 to 10 pounds)
- 1/2 cup spicy brown mustard
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Whole cloves
- Place ham on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Score the surface of the ham, making diamond shapes 1/2 in. deep. Combine the mustard, brown sugar, ginger and cinnamon; rub over surface of ham. Insert a clove in each diamond.
- Bake, uncovered, at 325° for 1-1/2 hours. Cover and bake 1-3/4 to 2 hours longer or until a meat thermometer reads 140°. Cover loosely with foil if ham browns too quickly. Discard cloves. Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing. Yield: 24 servings.

A3 Accessories & Modifications
qbrozen Posts: 16,822When you change the ECU on a turbo car, a bigger exhaust is usually necessary to get the full effect of the new ECU and to avoid damaging the turbo from excessive heat (although chances of damage are slim, unless you track the car).
'13 Stang GT; '86 Benz 300E; '98 Volvo S70; '12 Leaf; '08 Town&Country
kurtamaxxxguy Posts: 1,748There are other forums that go to great lengths to describe lots of A3 accessories, including how you can "rechip" your A3 for more power. Just do a search for "Audi forums" on the web.
Those Forum posters claim Audi cannot detect the chip modifications. That may or may not be true.
If Audi does find out you have rechipped your car, your warranty will be cancelled. -
ivan_99 Posts: 1,647I believe that your warranty would be void if the chip modification was the cause of the problem.
So if your window regulator goes out, you'll still have a warranty but if you have valve problems or something like that, it may be difficult to prove that your modifications didn't cause the problem even if they didn't. -
walkerhound1 Posts: 14The basic bolt-on mods are available for this car. Rear sway bars are popular among the enthusiasts I know, and a relatively cheap way to improve handling. There are some good suspension packages available, too, including some reasonably priced coilover kits. I know a few guys with intakes, but the power gains are negligible, so it's just ear candy. Turbo kits are just starting to appear, but nothing I'd consider a good buy, yet. There are a few good options for turboback exhaust systems, but you'd probably want better ECU programming to take advantage of one-- ie -- a "chip."
The 2.0T takes well to a chip, pushing it into the 260+ hp range, and getting you 0-60 times in 5.6-5.7 range with a good launch (tricky on a FWD car). There are several good chips around, and the best are "soft" chips: performance software is loaded onto your ECU. In other words, your ECU is never physically touched.
IMO, this car doesn't need much modification to satisfy most performance appetites. A chip, good tires, and a suspension mod or two, and you're done. Check out the A3 enthusiast boards for more detailed info. -
kurtamaxxxguy Posts: 1,748
ritlin Posts: 36I am looking at getting a Carbonio intake, which allows one to keep the original engine cover in place. Does anyone have any info. on CAI's or the carbonio? I don't need the biggest gains, but would like to get something with a little better improvement in both HP and gas milage.
drobpga Posts: 1I need to isolate the appropriate bluetooth options compatible with the Audi A3 factory radio and steering yoke controls. Which are non functional in a car that never had navigation. I have heard that the Parrot System is good but have also heard that the Motorola system works well also. It seems that no one knows how to integrate the aftermarket system into the factory audio system. Can anyone suggest similar experiences with success? I appreciate all suggestions.

One of the most sparsely populated countries in the world, Namibia offers a wide range of beautiful landscapes to visit.
The Namib desert occupies the entire length of the west coast, while the Kalahari desert covers much of the east coast border with Botswana. There are just four rivers in Namibia - the Orange in the south and the Kunene, Okavango and Zambesi in the north.
Etosha National Park - in the North of the country lies the Etosha National Park, one of the best places to spot wildlife in Southern Africa. There are great opportunities to view game in the National Park's numerous watering holes, including black rhinos, zebra, springbok, lion, antelope, elephant and giraffe. Lucky visitors may also see the elusive leopard and cheetah.
The Skeleton Coast - stretching the whole of the west coast of the country, the Skeleton Coast is famous for its littering of shipwrecks that occupy the coastline. Whale and seal bones are also a common site, a reminder of the days when the whaling industry was still active. The bordering Skeleton National Park also houses many animals including big cats, elephant and black rhino.
Twyfelfontein - this huge open-air art gallery features artwork carved into the rocks by the ancient Bushmen. Some of the carvings are estimated to be more than 6,000 years old and they depict the wildlife seen in the area - giraffe, rhinos, lions, elephant and ostrich.
Sossusvlei - a trip over to the west coast of the country will reward you with a sight of the largest sand dunes in the world, part of the Namib desert. You can climb up the dunes for spectacular views across the area, or visit during sunrise or sunset when the dunes display breathtaking colours of orange, red and deep purple.
Fish River Canyon - the Fish River is the longest in Namibia, but out of the wet season is usually dry. It is the second deepest canyon in the world and was formed over 500 million years ago. The area is popular among hikers and the active among you can opt for a 4-day 86km expedition from May to September.
At Carefree we can help create your dream trip to Southern Africa - from flights, transfers and motorhome hire to booking excursions to ensure you don't miss any of the must-see sights. Call us on 0845 601 0905 or 024 7647 5340 and talk to us about where you would like to go so we can tailor make your ideal Africa tour package.
Complete our Enquiry Form and a member of the Worldwide Team will contact you. Alternatively, call our Travel Specialists on 024 7647 5340.
You can also use our online 'Book & Go' motorhome hire system if you know exactly what type of motorhome you require.
The Club also provides Motorhome manoeuvring courses to give you confidence on the road.

How do you balance a cult period?
I feel town and mafia needs to know the possibility of a cult exists - the first mention of a secret cult is often when they suddenly win the game. Thematic plausibility. Outright notification to all. Hints in stories. Specific knowledge given to a role and they are supposed to notify everyone else. There are many ways to notify town but I'd include the anti-cult roles of Kotaro and the ARG if Fifth was hidden in the Mystery Win Con. Hell, I'd put them (well, at least one) in even if the MWC ISN'T a cult recruiter.
Take N2 as an example: Eight separate actions. The photo cop would see one, chosen at random. The photo cop would receive enough into to learn the role/action associated with that pic, but wouldn't be told of other info such as targets or results. Basically, the photo cop is similar to a rolecop but instead of learning the role of a specific player they learn a specific role is in the game. Photo cop could have detected Grey Man or Bumble performing a NK or whether an extra NK was due to which role.
A big reason I choose Fifth was because of the 25% success rate. Cults need a brake. Fifth couldn't reasonably take over the town until late game. It was easy to get one recruit but the second recruit wouldn't happen for several more days. A third recruit would be essentially impossible but if a cult recruiter is allowed to live 8+ days they should win.
A big part of 3+ faction games is making mafia react. A cult, if not dealt with by town, needs to also be dealt with by mafia. The enemy of my enemy isn't exactly my friend, but we share a common goal.

Re: Best Of Forum Mafia WIFOA Game Thread
Agreed, knowledge of the cult needs to exist, or they can just win the game w/o anyone realizing. I did like the dcreasing odds of a recruit, make it easy to get a few but hard to just explode.
Photojournalist would have been fun. Not the strongest role, but at least amusing (and better than vanilla). I still was hoping for a picture of a parrot killing someone on a bus though.

The University of New South Wales (UNSW) is an Australian public university. Established in 1949, it is ranked among the top 60 universities in the world according to the QS World University Rankings. It has more than 50,000 students from over 120 countries.
The main UNSW campus is located on a 38 hectare site at Kensington, seven kilometres from the centre of Sydney. Other campuses are the College of Fine Arts in Paddington, UNSW@ADFA, the University College at the Australian Defence Force Academy in Canberra, and sub-campuses at Randwick and Coogee in Sydney, as well as research stations around NSW.
UNSW is a founding member of the Group of Eight, a coalition of Australian research-intensive universities, and of the international network Universitas 21.
UNSW graduates hold more chief executive positions of ASX 200 listed companies than those of any other university in Australia.[4]
The idea of founding the University originated from the crisis demands of World War II, during which the nation's attention was drawn to the critical role that science and technology played in transforming an agricultural society into a modern and industrial one.[5] The post-war Labor government of New South Wales recognised the increasing need to have a university specialised in training high quality engineers and technology-related professionals in numbers beyond that of the capacity and characteristics of the existing University of Sydney.[5] This led to the proposal to establish the Institute of Technology, submitted by the then New South Wales Minister for Education Bob Heffron, accepted on 9 July 1946.
The University, originally named the "New South Wales University of Technology", gained its statutory status through the enactment of New South Wales University of Technology Act 1949 (NSW) by Parliament of New South Wales in Sydney in 1949. In March 1948 classes commenced with a first intake of 46 students pursuing programs including Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mining Engineering and Electrical Engineering.[6] At that time the thesis programmes were innovative. Each course embodied a specified and substantial period of practical training in the relevant industry. It was also unprecedented for tertiary institutions at that time to include compulsory instruction in humanities.[7]
Initially the University operated from the inner Sydney Technical College city campus at Ultimo. However, in 1951, the Parliament of New South Wales passed the New South Wales University of Technology (Construction) Act 1951 (NSW) to provide funding and allow buildings to be erected at the Kensington site where the university is now located.
In 1958 the University name was changed to the 'University of New South Wales' to reflect its transformation from a technology-based institution to a generalist university. In 1960 it established Faculties of Arts and Medicine, and shortly after decided to add a Faculty of Law, which came into being in 1971.[8]
The university's first director was Arthur Denning (1949–1952), who made important contributions to founding the university. In 1953 he was replaced by Professor Philip Baxter, who continued as vice-chancellor when this position's title was changed in 1955.[9] Baxter's dynamic, if authoritarian, management was central to the University's first twenty years. His visionary, but at times controversial, energies saw the university grow from a handful to 15,000 students by 1968.[10] He also pioneered new scientific and technological disciplines despite the criticism of traditionalists.[citation needed] Staff recruited both locally and overseas, soon established a wide international reputation.[citation needed] The new Vice-Chancellor, Professor Rupert Myers (1969–1981), brought consolidation and an urbane management style to a period of expanding student numbers, demand for change in University style, and challenges of student unrest.
The stabilising techniques of the 1980s managed by Vice-Chancellor Professor Michael Birt (1981–1992)[11] provided a firm base for the energetic corporatism and campus enhancements pursued by the subsequent Vice-Chancellor, Professor John Niland (1992–2002). The 1990s saw the addition of Fine Arts to the University. The University established Colleges in Newcastle (1951) and Wollongong (1961), which eventually became the University of Newcastle and the University of Wollongong in 1965 and 1975 respectively.
At present, private sources contribute 45% of its annual funding.[12]
The University is home to the Lowy Cancer Research Centre, one of Australia's largest cancer research facilities. The centre, costing $127 million, is Australia's first facility to bring together researchers in childhood and adult cancer.[13][14]
In 2003 the University was invited by Singapore's Economic Development Board to consider opening a campus there. Following a 2004 decision to proceed, the first phase of a planned $200m campus opened in 2007. Students and staff were sent home and the campus closed after one semester following substantial financial losses.[15]
The Grant of Arms was made by the College of Arms on 3 March 1952. The grant reads:
- Argent on a Cross Gules a Lion passant guardant between four Mullets of eight points Or a Chief Sable charged with an open Book proper thereon the word "SCIENTIA" in letters also sable.[16]
The lion and the four stars of the Southern Cross on the St George's Cross have reference to the State of New South Wales which established the University; the open book with "SCIENTIA" (knowledge) across its pages is a reminder of its purpose. The placement of "Scientia" on the book was inspired by its appearance on the arms of the Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine, formed in 1907. Beneath the shield is the motto "Manu et Mente" (with hand and mind), which was the motto of the Sydney Technical College, from which the University developed.[16]
An update of the design and colours of the Arms was undertaken in 1970, which provided a more contemporary design, yet retained all the Arms' heraldic associations. In 1994 the University title was added to the UNSW arms, as was the abbreviation "UNSW", to create the UNSW Symbol, which is used for everyday and marketing purposes.[16]
There is also a university flag, which consists of the coat of arms centred on a mid blue field. The blue field of the flag is lined with a yellow band on the top, right hand and bottom sides only. There is a further band of black on the top, right hand and bottom sides which is equal in width to the yellow band.[17]
Selection and entry[edit]
The Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) is the primary criterion for entry into most undergraduate-entry university programs. ATAR is a percentile awarded to students based upon the student's performance in their Higher School Certificate (HSC). The number functions as a rank of all students entering the tertiary education system, based on the number of students in year 12. The maximum rank attainable is 99.95.
In 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013, UNSW admitted more of the top 500 NSW HSC performers than any other university. Accordingly, UNSW and Sydney are arguably the most selective universities in Australia for undergraduate admission.
The table below summarises the ATAR scores needed to secure entry into the course. UMAT is the Undergraduate Medicine and Health Sciences Admission Test. A (V) indicates that vacancies were available at the conclusion of the main round of offers to students.[18]
ANU | Melbourne | Monash | UNSW | Sydney | |
Combined Law | 96.00 (V) | Not Offered | 98.00 | 99.70 | 99.70 |
Medicine | Not Offered | Not Offered | 97+ (+UMAT) | 99+ (+UMAT) | 99.95 |
Commerce | 82.00 (V) | 93.00 | 90.30 | 96.30 | 95.00 |
Economics | 86.00 (V) | 93.00 | 90.30 | 93.00 | 91.55 |
Engineering | 87.00 (V) | Not Offered | 91.4 | 91.25 | 92.00 |
Science | 80.00 (V) | 85.00 | 82.00 | 83.05 | 83.00 |
Arts | 80.00 (V) | 85.00 | 85.05 | 80.00 | 81.10 |
The university offers a bonus points scheme, "HSC Plus",[19] which awards points for performance in Australian Senior Secondary Certificate [Year 12] courses relevant to UNSW undergraduate degrees.
The UNSW Co-op Program[20] is offered across many Programs in the Faculties of the Built Environment, Engineering, Science, and the Australian School of Business. The Co-op program offers industry funded scholarships to students and includes internships with the sponsoring companies. Students usually enter the program after an application and interview while in their final year of high school.
University rankings[edit]
The QS World University Rankings 2012–2013 placed UNSW 52nd in the world and 5th in Australia.[21]
Category/Year | 2012 | 2011 | 2010 | 2009 |
Overall | 52 | 39 | 39 | 36 |
Social Sciences & Management | 24 | 25 | 23 | 25 |
Natural Sciences | 52 | 45 | 43 | 35 |
Life Sciences & Medicine | 55 | 48 | 46 | 43 |
Engineering & Technology | 39 | 39 | 42 | 33 |
Arts & Humanities | 77 | 61 | 78 | 52 |
The Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2012–2013 placed UNSW 85th in the world and 5th in Australia.[22] UNSW is ranked in the 81-90th bracket and 5th in Australia in the 2013 Times Higher Education Reputation Rankings.[23]
The Shanghai Jiaotong University's Academic Ranking of World Universities 2013 rankings placed UNSW in the 101–150 bracket globally and equal 6th in Australia.[24]
The Good Universities Guide 2014 scored UNSW 5-star ratings across 10 categories, more than any other Australian university. Monash University ranked second with seven 5-stars, followed by ANU, Melbourne University and the University of Western Australia with six each.[25]
UNSW has produced more millionaires than any other Australian university and ranked 33rd in the world according to the Spear's Wealth Management Survey [26]
UNSW graduates hold more chief executive positions of ASX 200 listed companies than those of any other university in Australia,[4]
Engineers Australia ranked UNSW as having the highest number of graduates in "Australia's Top 100 Influential Engineers 2013" list at 23%, followed by Monash University at 8%, the University of Western Australia, Sydney University and The University of Queensland at 7%.[27]
UNSW reported the highest median ATAR for the incoming 2012 and 2013 cohort and the 2nd highest average ATAR cutoff, as well as the highest number of Top 500 HSC Students.[28][29]
Australian Government survey data of university graduates have indicated in the past that students who enter the Group of Eight come from higher income families, and that graduates largely have higher paid occupations or positions of influence.[30]
Study Abroad[edit]
UNSW has maintained an extensive partnership with universities abroad. UNSW sends approximately 400 students to partner institutions each semester. Some of the universities that UNSW students are able to attend are: Princeton University, University of Pennsylvania (inc. Wharton), Duke University, Johns Hopkins University, Brown University, Columbia University (summer law students only), University of California Berkeley, UCLA, University of Michigan (inc. Ross), New York University (inc. Stern), Cornell University, University of Texas at Austin (inc. McCombs), University College London (law students only), Imperial College London, London School of Economics and ETH Zurich.
The University is governed by Council of 15 members including parliamentary and ex-officio members, members elected by staff, students and graduates of the University, and members appointed by the Minister for Education or by Council itself. It is responsible for acting on the University's behalf to promote its objectives and interests. The governance of universities has come under increasing scrutiny nationally in recent years [example?], and UNSW and its Council are committed to meeting this scrutiny by demonstrating the highest standards [evidence?].
The principal academic body is the Academic Board which receives advice on academic matters from the Faculties, College (Australian Defence Force Academy), and the Boards of Studies. It is responsible for academic policy setting, academic strategy via its eight standing committees, approval and delivery of programs, and academic standards. The Board comprises 56 members, including the Vice-Chancellor, members of the Executive Team, Deans and Faculty Presiding Members, 24 members elected from the academic staff and four from the student body. Membership also includes 'such other persons' approved by Council. The Academic Board advises the Vice-Chancellor and Council on matters relating to teaching, scholarship and research and takes decisions on delegation from Council. Its purpose is to make academic policy; approve courses and programs; further and co-ordinate the work of the Faculties and other academic units; and support teaching, scholarship and research.
The chief executive officer of the University is the Vice-Chancellor and President. The Deputy Vice-Chancellors and Pro-Vice-Chancellors are responsible for academic operations, research policy, research management, quality assurance and external relations including sponsorship. The Chancellor is usually an eminent member of society. (See UNSW Chancellors and UNSW Vice-Chancellors).
The Faculties and boards are responsible for the teaching and examining of subjects within their scope and the Academic Board co-ordinates and furthers their work.
The University has nine faculties:
The School of Education[edit]
The School of Education, located in the John Goodsell Building, was established in 1960. It specialises in research and teacher education at the pre-service and in-service levels, with a particular focus on secondary and higher education contexts. It features both Undergraduate Programs and Postgraduate Programs. The School of Education is home to several distinctive research teams composed of staff and local and international students. Students carry out their own research programs and publish in leading academic journals.
The University has an association with the National Institute of Dramatic Art.
The main UNSW campus is situated in Kensington, Sydney. Two of the University's faculties are situated elsewhere. The College of Fine Arts, is located in the inner suburb of Paddington. UNSW Canberra at ADFA is situated in Canberra.
The University also has additional campuses and field stations at Randwick, Coogee, Botany, Dee Why, Cowan, Manly Vale, Fowlers Gap and Bankstown Airport.
The main UNSW campus is divided geographically into two areas: upper campus and lower campus. The site of the lower campus was vested in the university in two lots in December 1952 and June 1954, while the upper campus was vested in the university in November 1959.[31] These two are separated mainly by an elevation rise between the quadrangle and the Scientia building. It takes roughly fifteen minutes to walk from one extreme to the other.
The University has a number of residential colleges, including: Philip Baxter College, Basser College, Goldstein College, Fig Tree Hall, Colombo House, UNSW Hall, New College, Warrane College, International House, Shalom College and Creston College.
In 2014, a staged re-development of UNSW's on-campus accommodation portfolio will conclude. The re-development has included a complete rebuild of the three existing Kengsington Colleges; Basser, Philip Baxter and Goldstein, as well as the addition of the three brand new colleges; Fig Tree Hall, Colombo House and UNSW Hall. The development has also included a re-refurbishment of the historic Goldstein Dining Hall and the construction of the University Terraces, a new on-campus apartment complex which opened in 2013.
There are a number of theatre and music venues at the University, many of which are available for hire to the general public.

Used bread crumbs instead of corn meal & I only had onion powder, not salt, so I added Morton's Nature's Seasons (in place of the onion salt & pepper). I also added some paprika and a bit of parmesan to the breading. This got RAVES from my family. My hubby says it tastes like restaurant food! - 8/27/09
I don't know what happened, but this was very blah for me. The crust never got crusty and the flavor was very plain to me. I even added paprika and garlic. I may fiddle around with things a bit. Maybe it was something on my end. Nonetheless, both my 18month old son and me both finish ours. :-) - 9/19/10

Alundra Blayze
Real Name
Debrah Miceli
Date of Birth
February 9, 1964
Place of Birth
"It really took me a month or two after for it to set in that I debuted at Wrestlemania and beat Lionheart Chris Jericho, a guy I grew up watching, and who was one of the reasons I got into the wrestling business - a huge influence for me - and he helped me a lot. He helped me build the Fandango character by working with me leading up to Wrestlemania. It was overwhelming and unbelievable and it happened in the blink of an eye." - Fandango talks about working with Chris Jericho
March 9, 2014
To further promote their feud and potential match at Wrestlemania 30, WWE posted this video interview of Triple H on YouTube. In it, the WWE COO was asked if he was afraid of Daniel Bryan since his character has been avoiding the match on Monday Night Raw these past two weeks.
March 7, 2014
Despite being sent legal threats from the company, it appears that Sin Cara has opted to be defiant towards WWE. The masked wrestler recently won a championship down in Mexico while using the name and character, both of which he claims ownership to. New merchandise has been made despite the possibility of a lawsuit coming.
March 5, 2014
Since the company wants to protect the Undertaker character, the belief right now within WWE is that the top candidate to induct Paul Bearer into the hall of fame at Wrestlemania 30 is Kane. With the way Mick Foley has been bashing the product over the last couple of months, it appears that there are a few people in management who are voting against him doing the induction speech.
March 4, 2014
While there were some people within the company that were opposed to squashing Mark Henry again, the decision was made to have him confront Brock Lesnar since Undertaker was not there. WWE initially had a spot at Wrestlemania 30 penciled in for Henry, but since those have been dropped, management felt that his character could afford to take another beating.
March 4, 2014
Since he has been making the transition from in ring performer to commentator, Tensai has been contemplating a name change, as his current moniker does not suit his new position with WWE NXT. During the television taping this week, he was introduced as Jason Alberts, which might be a play on his former character name of Prince Albert.
March 2, 2014
Fans at a AAA show in Mexico this week were a bit surprised when Sin Cara showed up as a different character, and it has now been revealed by the masked performer himself that it was due to legal threats from WWE. AAA wanted nothing to do with that, so they asked him to change things up for the night. Sin Cara stated that his lawyers will be fighting back.
February 25, 2014
Two seldom used WWE stars got a chance to hang out over the weekend, as Curt Hawkins and Tyson Kidd, who has been regulated to being a side character on Total Divas, were spotted in the audience at an independent wrestling show in New Jersey. The event was promoted by Pro Wrestling Syndicate, and it was a sold out crowd.
February 25, 2014
"I think your actual language, in my opinion, is what's wrong with a lot of the Superstars. I don't mean that as a shot at you� let me explain myself... their frustrations and, I hate this term, but 'push.' What is a push? Every time you get a chance on television, that is a chance to win fans. That is a chance to create good content. A lot of the guys� 'I'm not working in the main event.' If they have a problem with that, you get yourself in the main event. If you're not, you make sure your match is the best match of the night. You can only go forward. I never saw me losing my briefcase to John Cena as a bad thing, it was a chance for my character to evolve. And evolve I did! I think, looking back at my career, when it's all said and done, that night will go down as one of the most pivotal nights in my career." - Damien Sandow discusses his push being stopped
February 23, 2014
There are talks that Paul Bearer will be announced as the latest inductee into the WWE hall of fame at Wrestlemania 30 on the next episode of Monday Night Raw. There are also talks that Undertaker will be the one inducting him, even though management has avoided having him at the ceremony in order to maintain his character.
February 22, 2014
One of the most controversial moments in wrestling took place when Eric Bischoff signed Alundra Blayze away from WWE. Well, it turns out that the former WCW president is still close to his former employee. The two of them were spotted hanging out together in Arizona recently.
January 29, 2014
While WWE has opted against honoring her career, Alundra Blayze has cemented her place in professional wrestling history. Also known as Madusa Miceli during her career, she became the first woman to be ever win the PWI Rookie of the Year award.

Grocery Outlet Wine Sale, May 8-12
Today's the last day.
2008 Monsanto Chianti Classico Riserva magnums (1.5 liter), $22.99
I bought mine in Petaluma yesterday. Also spotted in Oakland, Berkeley and Seaside. This is one of my favorite chianti producers, very traditional style that needs bottle age. I haven't tasted this yet but it would be a screaming buy even without the additional discount.
I spotted 2009 Lazy Creek Gewurztraminer at the new Seaside GO (Monterey Peninsula) yesterday.
re: Melanie Wong
According to the Oakland Wine Guy, this Gewurtz was a bit past its prime and he wouldn't put it out.
I picked up 2 of the 2010 Lazy Creek Riesling, 2 2010 Lazy Creek Rose of Syrah, 2 2007 Wild Oak by St. Francis Syrah, 2 2010 Tamas (a sub-label of Wente) Double Decker Red (Cab, Petite Sirah & Barbera), 1 2010 Jeriko Estate Grenache and 1 2010 Wilson-Daniels Pinot Noir and only spent $48.76 after discount.
That averages out to about $5.42 a bottle.
Hope everyone else found good buys.-
re: KatoK
Nope, not yet. I figured it would be nice to have an "everyday" Pinot in the house and for about $5, it'll probably be serviceable. But of course I'm keeping my receipt just in case.
I've had the Wild Oak before and liked it and I'm really looking forward to both Lazy Creeks. I poured the Tamas Double Decker Red at SFChefs a few years ago and remember it being good and I was lucky to snag the Jeriko since I loves me some Grenache.
And don't forget the lovely link that David provided.

Mac Basics: AirDrop helps you share items with others nearby
AirDrop provides a quick way to share files wirelessly between two Macs, without having to connect to an existing network.
Using AirDrop
AirDrop is available from the Finder, the Share menu, and in Open and Save windows. When you choose AirDrop, OS X looks for any nearby computers that have also selected AirDrop. Use one of the following methods to share a file wirelessly with another Mac nearby.
- Select Go > AirDrop from the Finder on your computer, or select AirDrop in the sidebar of a Finder window.
- Ask the recipient to select AirDrop from the Finder on the other Mac.
- Drag and drop a file onto the recipient's icon in the AirDrop window that appears.
- Click Send.
The recipient needs to click Save to approve the file transfer on the other computer, and initiate downloading the files you're sending.
Share Menu
- From an app, select AirDrop from the Share menu.
- Ask the recipient to select AirDrop from the Finder on the other Mac.
- Select the recipient in the Share sheet that appears.
- Click Send.
The recipient should approve the file transfer on the other computer to initiate downloading the files you send.
If you don't see nearby users in AirDrop
When you select AirDrop, OS X looks for other Macs that are close by and also using AirDrop. If you don't see someone in the AirDrop window:
- Make sure Wi-Fi is turned on at both computers. Although you don't have to connect to a specific network, Wi-Fi needs to be turned on to transmit and receive files wirelessly.
- Make sure that the recipient has selected AirDrop in the Finder. If you don't see this option in the Finder, refer to the Additional Information section of this article to make sure the computer is compatible with AirDrop.
- Try moving the computers closer to each other. AirDrop is designed to work within a range of approximately 30 feet (9 meters). If you need to send a file to someone further away, consider using File Sharing, iCloud or email instead.
Additional Information
AirDrop requires that both Mac computers include Wi-Fi hardware that supports AirDrop mode. Both Mac computers need to have OS X Lion or later installed.
To see if your Mac works with AirDrop, make sure you're in the Finder by clicking the desktop (the background area of your screen), or by clicking the Finder icon in the Dock. Then, check to see if AirDrop is listed as an option in the Go menu. If you don't see AirDrop listed, your Mac doesn't support this feature.
Macs that include AirDrop support are the same as, or newer than, the models listed below.
- MacBook Pro (Late 2008 or newer)*
- MacBook Air (Late 2010 or newer)
- MacBook (Late 2008 or newer)*
- iMac (Early 2009 or newer)
- Mac Mini (Mid 2010 or newer)
- Mac Pro (Early 2009 with AirPort Extreme card, or Mid 2010)
*The MacBook Pro (17-Inch Late 2008) and the white MacBook (Late 2008) do not support AirDrop.
