My favorite book in the past year I have little to add to all the reviews previously posted. I loved this story, and found it totally engrossing. Wonderful. I really enjoyed Cutting for Stone, by Abraham Verghese, although it didn't quite make it to five stars for me. It is a sweeping, emotionally charged, family saga, told from the point of view of one of two twins born in Ethiopia in the 1950s. Born into and raised by a "family" (not all blood-related; the background of their family is one of the complexities in the novel best discovered as you read it) of doctors, both boys naturally become doctors as well, but their lives go in different directions, especially following a major rift between them in their teens. The writing is fairly vivid and I definitely felt drawn into the world Verghese creates. The storyline is complex and through-out I felt that it was building up to a significant and dramatic ending. I was not disappointed; the ending was indeed dramatic and felt fitting and satisfying. My only complaint is that the book is perhaps a bit too long. The were sections of very detailed descriptions of medical procedures (not too surprising, since Verghese is a doctor), which were sometimes rather more than I really felt was necessary to the storyline. At times as I was reading I would actually feel slightly bored, as I was eager for the story to continue and instead it was getting bogged down in details. However, overall, it is a very good book and I certainly recommend it. This book offers pretty much all of the things I look for in reading material--deep, rich characters, an interesting setting, a compelling and unpredictable story, and a look at an aspect of life that I am not familiar with. The author has allowed his characters to define themselves and, in doing so, they leave a lasting impact on the reader. Ethiopia is unfamiliar terrain to most of us, as is the day to day routine of a big-city hospital in a poor neighborhood. Descriptions of both show an intimacy that is too authentic not to be real. As to the story, it's complex, heart-warming and leaves you pondering all the possibilities. Who could ask for more. no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0375714367, Paperback)Amazon Exclusive: John Irving Reviews Cutting for StoneJohn Irving has been nominated for a National Book Award three times--winning once, in 1980, for the novel The World According to Garp. In 1992, Irving was inducted into the National Wrestling Hall of Fame in Stillwater, Oklahoma. In 2000, he won the Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay for The Cider House Rules--a film with seven Academy Award nominations. Read his exclusive Amazon guest review of Cutting for Stone: That Abraham Verghese is a doctor and a writer is already established; the miracle of this novel is how organically the two are entwined. I've not read a novel wherein medicine, the practice of it, is made as germane to the storytelling process, to the overall narrative, as the author manages to make it happen here. The medical detail is stunning, but it never overwhelms the humane and narrative aspects of this moving and ambitious novel. This is a first-person narration where the first-person voice appears to disappear, but never entirely; only in the beginning are we aware that the voice addressing us is speaking from the womb! And what terrific characters--even the most minor players are given a full history. There is also a sense of great foreboding; by the midpoint of the story, one dreads what will further befall these characters. The foreshadowing is present in the chapter titles, too--'The School of Suffering' not least among them! Cutting for Stone is a remarkable achievement.--John Irving (Photo © Maki Galimberti) (retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:25:16 -0400) Twin brothers born from a secret love affair between an Indian nun and a British surgeon in Addis Ababa, Marion and Shiva Stone come of age in Ethiopia, where their love for the same woman drives them apart. |

Hello all,
Just found this forum. Looking forward to becoming a part of the community.
I've got the itch to surf. It's been a few years and I really want to get back into it. I live in Colorado but I'm not opposed to flying somewhere close (regionally). I'm thinking LA, Costa Rica, South America...
I'm open to suggestions. Where's warm this time of year with good surf for a beginner?

Just posted this on ecf, here it is for all here to see.
Snow sir wasn't kidding when he said we've been chatting about these like two little school girls. Simply put they're amazing. On to the hard data to go along with the visual.
On the 3.5ml tank the carto inside it read out at 1.6ohms, the one on the 6ml tank was 1.6ohms. Just so everyone knows the carto in the tank is replaceable. Don't know when Vapor4Life will carry them, but have no doubt they will. Hoping for a non punched carto version of these in the future, they're simply that good. Back to the topic at hand though. These are dual coil cartos, what that means is there are two coils inside each cartomizer instead of the standard one. This has it's advantages and disadvantages, by being two medium to high resistance coils (a 1.5ohm dc is actually two 3.0ohm coils, a 2.0ohm dc is two 4.0ohm coils, etc) means the risk of burning the polyfill is reduced, and you get the vapor production and th potential of a low resistance carto along with the taste benefits of a higher resistance carto. The two major disadvantages are you're pulling twice as many amps as you would on a 3.0ohm single coil putting strain on the batt, and with 5v+ you can burn juice that isn't suitable for higher wattage.
I would have never put a dual coil or low resistance carto on any batt lower than 650mah with at least a 4c rating (meaning it could 2.6 amps before failure) in fear of hurting the cell. Mentioned many times before the theory that the cells in the king diamond and stealth batts have to be high drains to put out the voltage they do along with their ability to hold that voltage with use. These tanks confirmed it. I tried them on not only every batt Vapor4Life sells, but also on some unmentionable gen 2 batts from 3 top companies to see how they would handle. Results were and weren't expected.
Vapor King line batts-
Only have a few of these left in my possesion, a very special regular manual, 2 shorties, 1 auto xl, and one manual xl. Could not for the life of me get this tank to fire on any of them. When chatting with Snow sir earlier (will not root for your team sir in order not to jinx them) asked him to test them on a non-king diamond/stealth batt to confirm my findings, and he too couldn't get them to fire. Not sure if the newsest ones will or won't of the VK line because honestly haven't ordered any since the king diamond v2's were released.
King diamond v2 auto shorty-
With the 1.5ohm 3.5ml carto (used this one for every test because it was the lower of the two that arrived) voltage at start was 3.91v on load. The average run time one these using wow cartos was 121 minutes. Now to see what a difference lower ohms make with chain vaping-
3.92v (as), 3.87v (9min), 3.84v (18min), 3.80v (27min), 3.72v (36min), stopped there.
That's right, 36 minutes of use. Do not suggest using these on a shorty, the fact they can even run them is simply amazing. You won't get much life, but they are at least good in a pinch.
Stealth XL v2 auto-
266 minutes is my average with wow 2.3ohm cartos. That is no longer the case with these-
4.02v (as), 3.98v (9 min), 3.95v (18min), 3.92v (27min), 3.90v (36min), 3.88v (45min), 3.86v (54 min), 3.84v (63min), 3.82v (72 min), 3.81v (81min), 3.80v (90 min), 3.77v (99min), 3.75v (108min), 3.72v (117 min), stopped there. As you can see pulling that much amperage really affects the life of the batt, but you're getting excellent performance from these tanks in that time. These cartos are the definition of quality of vape vs. batt life.
King Diamond manual regular-
My average run times using these thus far with a wow carto is 198 minutes. These too were affected by the amperage draw, but the cells in these batts show just how much of an improvement they are over their auto counterparts-
4.08v (as), 4.03v (9 min), 3.99v (18min), 3.96v (27min), 3.94v (36min), 3.90v (45 min), 3.88v (54min), 3.86v (63 min), 3.83v (72min), 3.81v (81 min), 3.78v (90 min), 3.75v (99 min), stopped there knowing the batt was near the end of it's charge.
Stealth XL manual-
Haven't posted the run times and numbers on these yet thanks to the move. Will be getting to that very soon, but for now will give you a small glimpse into those tests. The average run time on a wow carto was 283 minutes. Up 2 minutes from the kd manual, but the led being on the button has taken the advantage of stealth in voltage holding and time over it's brethren away. With the 3.5ml tank got-
4.12v (as), 4.09v (9min), 4.07v (18 min), 4.04v (27min), 4.01v (36min), 3.99v (45min), 3.97v (54min), 3.94v (63min), 3.92v (72min), 3.90v (81min), 3.88v (90min), 3.84v (99 min), 3.82v (108min), 3.80v (117min), 3.77v (126min), 3.74v (135min), stopped there.
My view is if you're going to use these on an analog style batt go for a regular or xl, preferably a king diamond or stealth manual.
Haven't done a full voltage panel on the vgo (brother in law owns said kit), but did do an intial on load test with it. With the 1.5ohm DVCT on it it was at 3.91v under load.
The 5v OMG-
Still owe a full voltage panel on this one as well, hopefully will by the end of next week. This move really has put me in a bind testing wise and truly do apologize to everyone for it. Will be caught up soon promise. Like before with the 510 tank the fully charged load voltage for this was 5.23v (the 510 tank was 5.22v a .01v difference isn't much to speak of). Same issues arose with it that the 510 dual coil had. With certain juices you will still burn them at that high a wattage. Trial and error is needed with this, but a few flavors I can confirm that don't burn at that wattage are Nuport wow, Wow pepp, Gunslinger, Stogie, Aces & 8's, and Peacemaker.
Here's where I was truly surprised. In the car using Vapor4Life's car adapter couldn't get it to fire. No matter what I tried no vapor. On the slim line wall adapter though it did. The voltage was dropped to 4.57v, but that means it had 3 amps of current still at that voltage. Was simply put speechless at that result. Can not stress this enough, do not use the DVCT on a pt via your computer. At the best it won't fire, at worst you will damage something. That is a redonkulous amount of current from a adapter rated at 2.1a.
Last but not least gen 2 kr808's. Used a mix from 3 companies. 6 batts total were tested.
Batt 1- 3.63v on load- wouldn't fire
Batt 2- 3.58v on load- wouldn't fire
Batt 3- 3.61v on load- actually powered the DVCT
Batt 4- 3.54v on load- powered the DVCT
Batt 5- 3.68v on load- wouldn't fire
Batt 6- 3.61v on load- wouldn't fire
So 2 of the 6 could use it, but 4 couldn't. The two that did were from 2 seperate mystery companies. What was odd is that one batt at 3.61v did power it, the other didn't. Wish I could explain the reasons why, but can't.
Can't say how impressive the cartos in these tanks are. Simply put the best dc's I've ever tried. The draw is like that of a wow carto, th and vapor production surpass it, and the flavor is like that of a cool cart. The only gripe I have is the carto can slide out a little too easy on the metal capped tank for my taste. This can be fixed using a slightly thicker o-ring but too thick and it will make it too hard for people to pull out when filling. As for leaking issues, haven't ran into any except on 2 of the 14 refills thus far. As Snow sir's video showed the boxes for these have the Vapor4Life logo on them. These tanks are truly worthy of it.

Different chairs than a previous order S Bryson from Germantown, TN– Verified Buyer I ordered 2 chairs to see if I liked them. A week later, I ordered 4 more chairs. Unfortunately, they were different chairs, but the same style. The chair seats were constructed entirely different, and the gold colors were different. The first 2 were a lighter gold and they were smoother and seem more sturdy. They are great chairs for a GREAT price, but I am disappointed that they don't match. |
Loved these chairs so much I bought more TomKat from Richmond, VA Excellent value for handsome chairs when entertaining. We've even stored these on covered, screen porch in sub-freezing conditions with no issue. Sturdy, fine color (I purchased the gold), and light and easy to move around from room to room. |

Inland port
The term inland port is used in two different but related ways to mean either a port on an inland waterway or an inland site carrying out some functions of a seaport.
As a port on an inland waterway[edit]
An inland port in the wide sense, as used in common speech, is simply a port on an inland waterway such as a river, lake or canal. The United States Army Corps of Engineers publishes a list of the Top 20 Inland U.S. Ports for 2003 and for this purpose states that "Inland Ports" are ports that are located on rivers and do not handle deep draft ship traffic. The list includes familiar ports such as St. Louis, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, Kansas City, and Memphis.[1]
As an inland site with seaport function[edit]
The term inland port is also used in a narrow sense in the field of transportation systems to mean a rather more specialized facility that has come about with the advent of the intermodal container (standardized shipping container) in international transport. Rather than goods being loaded and unloaded in such ports, shipping containers can just be transferred between ship and road vehicle or ship and train. The container may be transferred again between road and rail elsewhere and the goods are only loaded or unloaded at their point of origin or final destination.
Shipping containers allow some functions traditionally carried out at a seaport to be moved elsewhere. Examples are the functions of receiving, processing through customs, inspecting, sorting, and consolidating containers going to the same overseas port. Container transfer at the seaport can be sped up and container handling space can be reduced by transferring functions to an inland site away from the port and coast.
Distribution may also be made more efficient by setting up the link between inland site and seaport as, say, a high-capacity rail link with a lower unit cost than sending containers individually by road. The containers are still collected from their origins or distributed to their ultimate destinations by road with the transfer happening at the inland site.
An Inland Port is just such an inland site linked to a seaport. This kind of inland port does not require a waterway. Key features of an Inland Port are the transfer of containers between different modes of transportation (intermodal transfer) and the processing of international trade. This differentiates an inland port from a container depot or transport hub.[2]
The term inland port may also be used for a similar model of a site linked to an airport or land border crossing rather than a seaport.
The definition of inland port in the jargon of the transportation and logistics industries is:
"An Inland Port is a physical site located away from traditional land, air and coastal borders with the vision to facilitate and process international trade through strategic investment in multi-modal transportation assets and by promoting value-added services as goods move through the supply chain". — Center for Transportation Research, University of Texas.[3]
Inland Ports may also be referred to as dry ports or intermodal hubs. Montreal has the largest inland port in the world.
Advantages of an inland port[edit]
An inland port can speed the flow of cargo between ships and major land transportation networks, creating a more central distribution point. Inland ports can improve the movement of imports and exports, moving the time-consuming sorting and processing of containers inland, away from congested seaports.

Resolution No. 2 on Strategies to be implemented within a comprehensive regional/spatial planning framework for protecting and managing freshwater resources
The ministers attending the 11th session of CEMAT, held in Limassol on 16 and 17 October 1997;
having examined the report submitted by the Cypriot minister and the background report prepared by the Committee of Senior Officials on "Sustainable regional/spatial planning in Europe and the protection of water resources";
aware that the problems concerning the protection of water resources have already been discussed in various international fora,
1. Consider that:
water is an extremely valuable resource which is essential to all forms of life; stocks of fresh water are limited and unequally distributed, and therefore it is imperative for the sustainable development of all European regions to preserve their integrity, use them rationally and ensure their replenishment for future generations;
securing supplies of water is an integral part of the task of regional/spatial planning, which aims to protect natural resources and create and maintain similar living conditions on the whole territory by means of balanced and sustainable regional development;
the quality of life of European citizens depends on the effectiveness of our efforts to protect and safeguard existing good-quality water resources against pollution and on the implementation of measures which need to be taken in order to improve the quality of already polluted surface water or groundwater. Significant financial resources need to be invested in many European countries in the coming decade in order to meet the needs of social and economic development;
water resources are exposed to increasing dangers not only in quantitative terms but also and especially in qualitative terms. The following factors contribute to this, their weighting varying from region to region: the input of harmful substances (from the air, from polluting materials, from excessive use of fertilisers and pesticides, from discharge of inadequately treated effluent, from sewage sludge, rubbish dumps and existing waste deposits); the increase of built-up areas, including areas for traffic and transport purposes, and the increase in water catchment following the lowering of the water-table;
it is necessary for all public planning authorities, enterprises and private households to attach greater importance to the protection of water. Regional planning, water-management authorities and specialists in other disciplines have the joint obligations to protect water quality and to secure water balance and water supply;
all plans and measures should be based on the following general concepts of regional planning:
i. all water resources must be protected;
ii. the formation of new ground water must not be significantly restricted by the sealing of open space or other impairments to percolation. In addition to this, it is important to avoid projects, measures or any influence (input of harmful substances) which can result in an impairment of the quality of ground water;
iii. it is preferable to use water resources close to consumers than to open up new water resources in more distant regions. This means that each region should base its future development first and foremost on its own supply of water. The local security of water supply can be improved with the aid of integrated main systems;
iv. long-distance water supply can only be considered if there are no adequate water resources available locally or if water resources cannot be harnessed and the potential for water conservation has already been exhausted. Regions with a water surplus should hold these reserves available not only for their own use but also for those regions whose supply of water is inadequate to meet requirements;
the general concept outlined above for a viable regional structure for using water resources is a sound basis for sustainable development in all European regions.
2. Reaffirm that:
safeguarding the quantity and quality of water is a top priority for Europe, as the availability of adequate water is a key factor in regional development;
striking a balance between water use and the water ecosystem is fundamental for the development of Europe; having regard to the scarce quantity of water supply in some regions of Europe it is necessary to promote efficient water-management policies in order to reduce demand;
it is essential for Europe to decide on a rational, comprehensive and long-term pan-European perspective for the efficient protection and management of water resources; such a perspective should take into account all types of water users and all water resources, and also take account of the principles of efficiency and sustainability, and reflect the importance of water as a social and economic asset in meeting basic human needs, while encouraging awareness of the real societal costs of water usage;
international, national and interdisciplinary co-operation is of crucial importance for protecting and efficiently managing existing water resources;
the quality of major watercourses and major water reserves should be kept up to European standards, as non-respect of the norms leads, generally, to negative repercussions on prospects for regional development and could have significant impacts on environmental conditions in other states;
the restructuring of economies and the social and administrative reform which are under way in many European states, which will affect developments in the industrial, agricultural and energy sectors, should be closely co-ordinated with a European strategy for rational, sustainable management of water resources;
the European public must have easy access to information on the quality of water resources, the results from monitoring activities and the measures taken to safeguard water resources;
3. Recommend that the governments of the member states implement
the following measures:
i. at European level
define on the broadest possible European scale the strategic objectives of a comprehensive water policy based on close co-operation between water management, regional planning and other disciplines;
improve European regulations on the protection of water resources;
promote regional and local responsibility for the effective protection and sparing use of water resources (helping people to help themselves);
foster technical co-operation between states so that positive and innovative techniques for the development and efficient use of water resources could be made generally available and be exploited quickly and cost-effectively;
draw up integrated water-management programmes consistent with an efficient strategy for entire water basins and eco-corridors along river valleys, especially those which cross national boundaries, and decide which level (regional, national, international) is the most appropriate for the implementation of actions and projects;
co-ordinate within the framework of international agreements the protection, efficient use and management of water from transfrontier watercourses, lakes and groundwater reserves; make full use in this respect of the UN Economic Commission for Europe's Convention on the Protection and Use of Transboundary Watercourses and International Lakes;
develop – in the framework of the ESDP and the Guiding Principles for sustainable and comprehensive development in Europe in the next century – a coherent, long-term flood- and drought-prevention strategy that takes into account natural catchment basins.
ii. at national level
approve co-ordinated national quality standards for the rational, sustainable use of surface waters and groundwater, as well as the protection of their biological diversity, define time limits for their implementation, establish reliable systems for monitoring and ensure that these standards will be taken into account in all regional/spatial, economic and social planning initiatives;
draw up or update at regional level hydrological balances where this has not yet occurred. These should show, in particular, potential risks to groundwater, the degree of self-sufficiency and the need to take some action in the event of any deterioration in water quality;
draw up water-management sector plans to improve the basis for the securing of areas for water supply and overall ecological balance on a long-term basis in regional plans;
protect water resources in the interests of securing an adequate supply of good-quality water by means of appropriate legislative measures; similar measures should be envisaged to protect water resources needed in areas of activity where a high quality of water is necessary;
give preference to the public supply of drinking water in the case of water resources used by industry and small businesses, even if drinking-water quality is not required. In regions where groundwater abstractions give rise to over-exploitation, the supply of water to industry from groundwater should be gradually reduced in future as far as possible;
reflect in national legislation the prevention of pollution at source and the "polluter-pays" principle, the precautionary principle and appropriate penalties in order to discourage potential polluters of water reserves;
promote all possible methods for recycling and re-using treated water;
implement pricing policies that are geared towards cost recovery – including capital expenditure, operational costs – and an equitable and efficient allocation of water, including the promotion of water conservation and minimisation of wasteful consumption of water while ensuring that basic human needs are met;
promote all possible measures for preventing the pollution of resources, having in mind that prevention usually costs less than treating polluted water;
encourage, through a set of incentives and disincentives, industries and agriculture, which are traditionally the larger users of water, to abide by codes of good practice and maximum efficiency for the use and management of water resources;
encourage the participation and co-operation of the general public and local and regional authorities in an overall effort to protect the quality of water resources and promote public awareness on relevant issues.
4. Request the Secretariat General of the Council of Europe:
to bring this resolution to the attention of all international organisations and in particular the European Union, the Economic Commission for Europe (UN-ECE, Geneva), the VASAB 2010 Secretariat (Vision and Strategies around the Baltic Sea 2010) and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD);
to consider this resolution in the ongoing process of preparing the Guiding Principles for sustainable and comprehensive spatial development in Europe in the next century.

Students majoring in studio art take a minimum of 18 courses (50 credits) and complete a concentration in ceramics, graphic design, interactive media arts, painting or photography. All art majors are required to participate in a comprehensive portfolio review during the spring semester of the freshman year, as well as the senior exhibition held in the Dorrance H. Hamilton Gallery during the spring of their final year.
Required courses:
Students concentrating in ceramics explore the historic development of this medium while gaining technical experience with our hands-on approach to studio practices. Coursework fosters creative problem-solving skills through the creation and examination of both traditional and conceptual ceramic forms.
Courses in graphic design provide students with an understanding of how to visually communicate messages. Through the combination of type and image, students develop the ability to critically analyze and professionally produce effective design solutions.
Coursework in interactive media arts develops conceptual, aesthetic and technical skills in the production of computer-generated media. As they explore how interaction, technology and art can create new forms of expression, students learn how to use these skills in their own creative practice.
An understanding of color theory, painting materials and drawing techniques is the foundation of the painting concentration. As they master the principles of rendering, discover the possibilities of color relationships and explore their personal style, students develop a sophisticated appreciation of the painter's art and craft while honing their creative and analytical skills.
The photography concentration explores both photographic techniques and the historic context of this medium. Coursework introduces the technical approaches to both darkroom and digital photography and examines the use of photography as a powerful means of personal visual expression.
Students completing a minor in studio art take a minimum of seven courses (21 credits).
Students choose four additional courses approved in consultation with the department chair.

Design Happenings This Weekend: Maker Faire, Mignonne and the Union Design Festival
It's Friday, y'all! That means time to get on your thinking caps (ours looks something like this) and start planning what you're going to do to have the best weekend ever. A few suggestions from yours truly:
- Get your DIY fix this weekend when MAKE Magazine's Maker Faire returns to the Bay Area. Head over to the San Mateo County Expo Center this Saturday and Sunday to see the latest in craft and design, including art, inventions, demonstrations, and plenty of vendors, to boot. A few of our favorites, including ceramicists Diana Fayt and Ezme Designs, will be there too.
- Home decor boutique Mignonne has been bringing a bit of Paris flea market style to Oakland for years, but after this weekend they'll be packing up their delightfully unique selection of home goods and moving on. The good news? The shop will be reopening in Berkeley some time around mid-June. The other good news? This Saturday from 12 to 7 the Oakland location will be having a big sale, with 30% marked off many items around the store.
- If you'd rather not leave the city for your design fix, head over to Hayes Valley this Sunday for the Union Design Festival. We had a ball at the event last year, and are willing to bet this time around will be no different. Check out the full list of participating vendors here - it's long one!

Loved the chicken seasoning. Really added to the taste.
Reviewed Jul. 28, 2012
Very easy to make with great results - I have made this one many times and it pleases even picky eaters. I should add that I usually add extra spaghetti sauce to fully coat all of the pasta.
Reviewed Nov. 25, 2011
Very tastey!! I baked mine covered at 350 for about 25 min, instead of cooking in skillet; then spooned sauce on top, plus cheese and baked uncovered till cheese melted.

Title: | Cell "Flakes" in Winter |
Author(s): | Yildiz Arslan, Sevim |
Abstract: | The objective of my study is to gain an understanding of the molecular events in Theiler's murine encephalomyelitis virus (TMEV) infection resulting in cell death. TMEV is a highly cytolytic RNA virus that causes a persistent central nervous system (CNS) infection and immune-mediated demyelination in susceptible strains of mice, providing a relevant experimental animal model for multiple sclerosis (MS). It has been shown that infection with TMEV induces apoptosis in murine macrophages, resulting in restricted infectious virus production. In contrast, BeAn infection in all other rodent cells (e.g Syrian baby hamster kidney cells (BHK-21)) induces necrotic cell death with high virus yields. Currently the cellular factors essential in determining the fate of TMEV-infected cells are largely unknown. To determine whether members of the Bcl-2 family act as key anti-apoptotic proteins that regulate and determine the mechanism of TMEV-induced cell death, I transiently transfected BHK-21 cells with siRNA oligos to knock-down the expression of different anti-apoptotic proteins and infected these cells with TMEV virus. As a negative control, I used mock infected BHK-21 cells. To visualize apoptotic profile under the fluorescent microscope, I stained the cells with a nucleic acid specific dye, 4'-6-Diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI). The fluorescence image shows mock-infected BHK-21 cells grown in cover slips that were stained with DAPI. |

What is Bridge Day?
Bridge Day is held on the third Saturday in October every year in Fayetteville, West Virginia, and it's the largest extreme sports event and largest gathering of BASE jumpers in the world. It's one of the only places in America where you can easily watch a BASE jump happen live, in person, and on schedule, every 25 seconds. More than 450 BASE jumpers from 10+ countries and 40+ US states will leap from the 876' tall New River Gorge bridge, hundreds of rappellers will descend on fixed ropes, and up to 200,000 spectators are expected to attend this year's Bridge Day on Saturday, October 18, 2014 from 9am-3pm EDT. BASE jumper registration begins on July 1, 2014 at 2pm EDT via our web store. For those with no parachuting experience, but a desire to make a BASE jump at Bridge Day, please view our Tandem BASE Jumping information page. Since this website focuses on the BASE jumping portion of Bridge Day, general spectator questions are better answered at the official Bridge Day event website.
Bridge Day spectators are permitted to walk the length of the bridge in order to watch jumpers leap from the bridge railing, enjoy the fall foliage, or patronize hundreds of vendors who sell everything from handmade crafts to funnel cakes. Admission is free for spectators. BASE jumping at Bridge Day is reserved for experienced jumpers, however, those with no parachuting experience now have the ability to:
- Make a tandem BASE jump
- Make a tandem skydive
- Slide down the highline
- Take a catwalk tour
- Try the zip line canopy tour
Enlarge picture If you're planning on making your first BASE jump at Bridge Day, please read our First Timers page to see if you qualify (you'll need at least 100 prior parachute jumps). If you're happier with your feet on the ground, we have plenty of information for spectators as well. For answers to common questions, please read our Frequently Asked Questions page. For additional things to do while at Bridge Day, be sure to visit the New River Convention & Visitor Bureau.
Who Can Jump?
Jumpers must register online starting July 1, show up prior to Bridge Day for gear checks and meetings, and follow a few simple rules set forth by the BASE Jumping Coordinator and NPS. In addition, jumpers must have prior parachuting experience (at least 100 skydives and/or BASE jumps) and BASE jumping gear (or approved skydiving gear). Jumpers must be age 18 or older, in good health, and have the skills needed to perform a fixed object jump. Non-jumpers can opt to make a tandem BASE jump.
Jumpers must have made a parachute jump (skydiving or BASE) in the two years prior to Bridge Day. Our FAQ should answer many of your questions. Don't forget to review the BASE Malfunctions list and educate yourself on things you may have to deal with while BASE jumping. If you're a first time BASE jumper, sometimes it's best to contact us with your questions. We're here to help you have a memorable time at Bridge Day.
Register To Jump
Registration for BASE jumping at Bridge Day will begin on July 1, 2014 around 2pm Eastern Daylight Time (18:00 GMT) with payment via Visa, Mastercard, Discover, Paypal, or Check. At that time, Bridge Day jump tickets and vendor booths will have their inventory increased and all 450 available jump slots will be available until all slots are sold out (normally takes from three weeks to three months). Registered jumpers can make as many jumps as possible in six hours in addition to receiving free water rescue, shuttle buses, T-shirt, free pizza/beer/soda during post-Bridge Day party, seminars, video festival, packing tarps, diving board jumps, etc. (further details here). Don't forget to read the Frequently Asked Questions page.
What Is BASE Jumping?
Enlarge picture BASE Jumping is an acronym for the four types of fixed objects that are utilized for these foot-launched skydives: (B)uilding, (A)ntenna, (S)pan, and (E)arth. BASE jumpers first skydive hundreds of times from aircraft before attempting to BASE jump.
Many BASE jumpers have normal lives with normal jobs and families. Most have been jumping around the world for decades and come from educated backgrounds. BASE jumpers tend to be open-minded, intelligent, and curious. Jumpers are probably more scared riding motorcyles or wondering through the woods on the first day of deer season than making a BASE jump. BASE jumping has evolved enough over the last 30 years to be considered fairly safe. With nearly 1000 jumps made at Bridge Day each year since 1980, there have only been three fatalities (in comparison, West Virginia saw 53 ATV fatalities in 2006). BASE jumpers have chosen to participate in something that most people only dream of and their drive, energy, and appreciation for living life should be applauded.
A BASE jumper recently wrote: "Extreme activities attract truly remarkable people, and over the years I have often found myself in the company of heroes. Whatever it is that attracts people to BASE jumping seems to attract many to careers as police officers, fire fighters, paramedics, EMTs, and others who have what it takes to stick around when running like hell would be a more sensible option. But there are many others, who are more like me - ordinary people who find themselves doing extraordinary things. We don't wear badges or pull people from burning cars or buildings - at least that's not what we get paid to do. We may be sitting at the table next to you in a restaurant, or perhaps we teach your kids in school, or repair your car, or prepare your taxes. You may walk next to us on the street or stand next to us in an elevator and have no clue. We are right in front of you but you don't see us. We are an amazing community, yet many call us crazy or portray us as mentally defective. We see possibilities where you see tragedy. We see a higher level of existence where you see hopelessness.
Unlike skydiving, BASE jumpers typically use only one parachute as the lower exit altitudes of 200-2000 feet above the ground do not normally permit deployment of a reserve parachute. While it is legal to jump at Bridge Day for six short hours, any jumps made outside this small window can result in $5000 fines, gear confiscation, and a year in jail as imposed by the National Park Service (NPS). The NPS owns a small landing area on the East side of the bridge and they've arrested and prosecuted jumpers who've landed in or near the park. Fortunately, there are many legal bridges and cliffs around the USA and Europe where parachutists are welcome to enjoy their sport. The safest cliffs in the USA reside in our National Parks, but BASE jumpers cannot legally enjoy their sport on park property.
Can I Just Watch?
Absolutely! Bridge Day was originally designed to allow people to walk the length of the bridge while enjoying the fall foliage and beautiful scenery. Throughout the year, the New River Gorge Bridge is closed to foot traffic and stopping your vehicle on the bridge is prohibited. After five daring parachutists were permitted to jump at the first Bridge Day back in 1980, it soon became apparent that watching jumpers would become the major attraction. In the early 1980's, crowds increased and hundreds of BASE jumpers flocked to the area to enjoy six short hours of legal BASE jumps.
Today, hundreds of thousands of spectators travel to the Fayetteville area and the event has routinely shown on live TV around the world. Spectators are encouraged to read our FAQ for further information on where to watch, what items you are permitted to bring on the bridge, and how to dress for the event

Idaho Town Becomes Mecca for Bridge Jumping
Legal BASE jumping every day of the year from the Perrine Bridge in Twin Falls, Idaho has become quite popular. "There are no rules basically to ban BASE jumping," said Shawn Barigar, a city council member and chairman of the Twin Falls Area Chamber of Commerce. "The general reaction is 'no harm, no foul'. As long as it is not disruptive, and isn't causing any problems, more power to them." Full story is here.
Gear Requirements
Only BASE jumping specific and approved skydiving gear will be permitted at Bridge Day. A complete list of acceptable gear is available in our FAQ. The recommended setup is a BASE specific 7-cell canopy with a low aspect ratio, a Velcro or pin closed BASE specific harness and container, and a 38-48" pilot chute with at minimum 9' bridle (required).
Enlarge picture A helmet and protective pads are highly encouraged. If you plan on taking at least a 3-second delay, you'll want to purchase a mesh slider to speed up the opening of your canopy. If you have attempted to modify or purchase BASE specific gear, a tailpocket is another good idea to clean up your pack job and provide reliable on-heading openings. You can also rent gear from many BASE jumping manufacturers. Keep in mind that a 9' bridle and minimum 38" pilot chute are mandatory. Our experienced riggers will inspect your gear prior to obtaining your Bridge Day jump pass. Check out our FAQ for more answers to your gear questions.
Bridge Day 2014
The 35th annual Bridge Day event will take place on October 18 with 450+ experienced parachutists (BASE jumpers) and tandem BASE jumpers leaping off the 876' New River Gorge Bridge. Jumper registration starts on July 1, 2014 around 2pm EDT. Registered jumpers can make as many jumps as possible for six hours in addition to receiving free water rescue, shuttle buses, a T-shirt (or similar clothing), free pizza/beer/soda during the post-Bridge Day party, seminars, video festival, packing tarps, diving board jumps, etc. (further details here)
Vertical Visions LLC, from Bridgeport, West Virginia, has been selected as the official BASE jumping coordinator for Bridge Day 2012-2014. This is our 13th year coordinating all BASE jumping activities for the Bridge Day Commission. Team leaders include Jason Bell and Bill Bird, both having extensive parachuting, BASE jumping, and Bridge Day organizing experience. Assisting will be Jason's wife, Jennifer Bell, and more than 70 volunteers. With the help of the Bridge Day Commission and our sponsors, some amazing things were done at the exit point in past years such as:
- Jumper catapult system
- $3500 in event fencing for increased security and jumper accessability
- A $5000 raised platform exit ramp (10' wide x 16' long)
- 16' commercial aluminum diving board
- Continued nationwide TV coverage
This year, we'll have the new jumper catapult system at the exit point which will launch jumpers more than 50' over the bridge railing. Many other details for 2014 are in the planning stages and will be posted here when available. There is NO bungee jumping at Bridge Day. To learn more about Bridge Day and BASE jumping, continue reading this website or feel free to contact us.
BASE Jump Courses
First time BASE jumpers are required to attend one of our courses unless they've been trained by a qualified mentor. Two official Bridge Day BASE jump courses are available this year.
- If you're looking for an advanced BASE training course, Apex BASE will be instructing a 3-day long Bridge Day BASE Jump Course from October 15-18, 2014.
- Alternately, the shorter Bridge Day Introductory Course will be held for 6-8 hours on October 17, 2014.
Enlarge picture We make first time BASE jumpers attend our courses or seek training from a mentor because jumpers likely had extensive training when making their first skydive. In addition, BASE jumping is more dangerous than skydiving. Bridge Day jumpers can purchase a slot in either course when purchasing jump tickets starting on July 1. Remember, all jumpers must have made at least 100 parachute jumps (skydiving and/or BASE jumping) prior to Bridge Day
Sponsorship Info
Sponsor Bridge Day 2014 BASE jumping with banners, custom parachutes, clothing, products, coupons, gear, etc. The event has been shown live on shows such as CNN, NBC's Today Show, Headline News, the Weather Channel, and others since 2004 and BASE jumpers are the main focus.

TandemBASE is located in Twin Falls, Idaho and they've mastered a jumping technique based on the tandem skydiving method of instruction.
Bridge Day tandem BASE jumpers will experience a heart-pounding thrill beyond what words can possibly describe. At Bridge Day, tandem BASE jumpers will step off the exit point 876' above the New River and experience a 2 to 3 second freefall followed by an awe inspiring 40 to 50 second canopy ride and landing in the New River Gorge. This is ultimate rush for those who seek it.
About This Website
BridgeDay.info was developed in 2002 by the Bridge Day BASE Jumping Coordinator to serve BASE jumpers attending the event. Jumpers can register for Bridge Day and learn about the largest BASE jumping event in the world. If you're a spectator, you'll still find plenty of pertinent information here, but you might elect to visit the official Bridge Day event website.
