Nice onePros: I couldn't be nothing but happier with this upright, before this i had a Dyson which cost me over $400 at the time, this vacuum does the same job, sucks up the dirt and it picks up very well, i question myself now why i ever paid $400 for a vacuum cleaner. Cons: It is a bit on the heavier side, compared to a Dyson, the Dyson is a little easier to roll around and the Dyson was overall lighter there is a pretty significant difference in weight, if you have more than 1500 sq ft this vacuum will make you work. Other Thoughts: This vacuum is goo for apartments and houses with less than 1500 sq ft of carpet, unless you want to have a back ache all day, as a 6" in shape built man who works in the automotive repair field this thing will make you want to sit down. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful.

Great Vacuum w/ ToolsPros: 5 different height adjustments, good suction, many different tools for various areas, easy to empty Cons: Haven't found any yet 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |

XTERRA Trail Running World Championship - Oahu, Hawaii
Date: December 07, 2014
Location: Kualoa Ranch, Kaaawa, Oahu, HI
Distance: 5/10/21km
Purchase Additional Shuttle Bus Tickets
Our Facebook event page is a good way to connect with other racers, get event updates and let people know that you competing at XTERRA Trail Run Worlds.
Island Air is Hawaii's leading regional carrier, offering flights to and from the islands of Oʻahu, Maui, Molokaʻi, Lana'i, and Kauaʻi using a fleet of 64-seat ATR-72 turboprop aircraft. Island Air's aircraft fly at lower altitudes than jets do, providing passengers with unparalleled views of Hawai'i's magnificent scenery – pristine coastlines, spectacular mountains, plunging waterfalls and frolicking whales.
Official TV Station of XTERRA Trail Run Worlds
The crown jewel of the XTERRA Trail Run Series is the XTERRA Trail Run World Championship, and the majestic Kualoa Ranch in Hawaii has served as the host site since the creation of this prestigious event in 2008.
This year, the race is scheduled for December 07, 2014, and more than 2,000 runners from around the world are expected to gather at Kualoa Ranch on the northeastern side of the island of Oahu.
A 21-kilometer half-marathon course is considered the world championship course, and it takes runners through some of the most diverse – and scenic – terrain on the planet.
It is worth noting that there is no qualifying process to enter the XTERRA Trail Run World Championship. It is an event open to runners of all ages, with skill levels that can range from elite to beginner. In order to accommodate the various levels, there will be various courses – the 21K championship course, a 10K, a 5K, and an "adventure walk."
The trails at Kualoa Ranch are normally closed to the public, so it offers a rare opportunity for runners to experience the unique setting.
The 4,000-acre working cattle ranch reaches from the steep mountain cliffs to the sparkling sea, and the terrain varies from dense rainforest to broad open valleys, with close-up views of beautiful white sand beaches and awesome verdant cliff faces. The epic nature of Kualoa Ranch has served as a scenic backdrop for numerous television shows and Hollywood films such as Jurassic Park, Windtalkers, Pearl Harbor, Godzilla, Tears of the Sun, 50 First Dates, and LOST.
The fastest runners on the 21K course will be competing for a $10,000 total prize purse (top seven overall men and top seven overall women receive money). Everyone who conquers the half-marathon championship course will earn a finisher's medal, and the top three runners for every age group in the 21K, 10K and 5K will receive medals and other prizes.
The XTERRA Trail Run World Championship is the culminating event of the XTERRA Trail Run Series, which is a collection of more than 70 adventurous, off-road trail runs of various distances around the world.
Note: You must be present to receive your awards at the XTERRA Trail Run World Championship. Awards will not be mailed after the event. Also, as a course rule for safety purposes, headphones are not allowed to be worn by runners.
Experience the best of both worlds. Registration and packet pick-up will take place in the heart of Waikiki at the Waikiki Beach Walk on Lewers Street on Saturday, Dec. 6 from 9am-5pm (on the grassy area next to the Yard House on Lewers Street), while the race site for Sunday is Kualoa Ranch - a sacred place untouched by development.
Note: You can also pick-up your packet race morning at Kualoa Ranch starting at 7 a.m. (but there is no raceday registration).
Parking for Packet Pick-up: Be adventurous and find your own in Waikiki or valet park at the Embassy Suites (enter from Beachwalk street) which offers free lunch parking - Valid daily, between 10am - 3pm with same day receipt.
More information about Waikiki Beachwalk
Shuttle from Waikiki – For $25 a 60-passenger school bus will take you from Waikiki to the Ranch and back in hassle-free air conditioned comfort. Pick-up is at 7am at the Waikiki Beach Walk on Lewers Street, you'd arrive a little before 8am, and the buses head back to the same spot from Kualoa Ranch at 1pm. Good way to save on parking, gas, rental car, and directional worries!
Parking at Kualoa Ranch - $5 per vehicle.
To speed up your entry to Kualoa Ranch, please purchase a pass at packet pickup in Waikiki and display it on your dashboard.
We are offering a discount for Students and Active Duty Military. Valid ID must be shown at packet pickup. Only the first 2000 runners total from all races (5/10/21km) are guaranteed a tee-shirt, so sign-up now to make sure you get yours. Late Entrants (on or after November 20) may not receive a shirt.
By Race director "Kahuna Dave" Nicholas
The start for all three distances is at the Kaaawa Valley base camp. Runners leave on a hard packed dirt road and within ¼ mile face their first task – a long, undulating ¾ mile climb. At the one-mile mark 5K runners will head down a pasture and back towards the ocean and the finish line (see turquois line on map). World Champ 21K and 10K runners will continue on the upper road until heading steeply downhill, some on road, some on grass to the fantastic remains of the "lost city of Atlantis" (from the movie Journey 2: The Mysterious Island, starring Dwayne "the Rock" Johnson).
A hard right after the Atlantis Temple and runners head into a dark, dry creek crossing before heading back on some sweet single track on the ridgeline. Interesting note: this section of single track was created years ago for the legendary Hawaiian Mountain Tour bike races. It's high pasture that dips into volcanic gulches to rise again into the sun. You'll do this several times before the 10K heads to the finish. For the 21K world champ runners, the fun has just begun.
Back on dirt roads and past a cave from the movie Pearl Harbor it is time to catch a bit of breath as you move from one valley to another. After aid station three, runners will head into construction for the new Kualoa Tropical Gardens and onto some up-and-down single/double track. Here runners venture deep into forest, and out on the edges with spectacular ocean overlooks and finally a dip into a dark, tropical rain forest with three stream crossings. If it looks familiar, think about scenes from the recent movie "Battleship".
Now runners might be thinking this isn't so bad … until the terrain starts to climb. Easy at first and then brutally steep, and totally exposed to the sun. Just as you think it has leveled, the lie comes true and it is up again. At last a feed station that appears to be a dead end. But we are taking you up narrow single track – by narrow we mean a foot at most – to the spine that separates Hakipu'u and Kaaawa valleys. You'll wish you could stop as you can see a thousand miles of blue Pacific no matter which way you turn. Then the single track plunges steep downhill where nobody goes except on this day. Muddy, rutty, steep drop offs, slimy and slippery. We've put ropes to help you stay upright and I guarantee you will use them. The good news? It is only ¼ mile. At the bottom you'll find the terrain familiar as you return to the back of Kaaawa Valley and run that gorgeous, fast and soft singletrack to the finish.
Note that there is no pre-running allowed. Also, no headphones, earbuds, iPods or MP3 players allowed during the race. Sorry, we like to run with ours too but it's not allowed during the race. In particular at this race, Kualoa Ranch has their regular bus, ATV, and horseback tours running through the valley and it is imperative you are aware of what's happening around you.
Aid Stations – There will be two aid stations for the 5km/3.1-mile race (at 1.7 and 2.5 miles), three for the 10km/6.20-miler (1.7, 2.5, 3.2, 4.7, and 5.8mi) and nine for the 21km/13.1-miler (1.7, 2.5, 5.7, 7.7, 10.3, 12.2, and 12.7). Gatorade and water served at all stations, and PowerBar Energy Gel packets available at key spots.
Race Morning Parking - The gates open at 7a.m. It is $5 per car, and to help speed things up you can prepay and get a parking pass at packet pick-up in Waikiki on Saturday. If you can't come Saturday, please bring a $5 bill. Note that if you are coming from town the entrances are past the main ranch house. We'll have two entrances into the middle of Kaaawa Valley – the traditional surf gate entry for those coming from town and another entry for those coming from the North Shore.
Please note that when traffic starts to back-up at "surf gate" volunteers will waive you down to the next gate. The distance to parking is the same and will relieve traffic on Kamehameha Highway.
Be ready to show your yellow parking pass.
Rain or Shine - The race will go on. We actually think it'd be very cool if it rained. Can you imagine how much fun we'd have slipping and sliding down the muddy slopes in the Valley. It'd be like a scene straight out of an Indiana Jones adventure! We'll have a wash area for you to clean-up regardless.

Max King - 1:16:36 - 2010
Sally Meyerhoff - 1:28:58 -2010
Although not considered championship races, XTERRA will also host a pair of fun and beautiful 5km and 10km trail runs that take you from the base-to-the-back of majestic Kaaawa Valley.
The adventure walk is perfect for those just wanting to take in the epic scenery of Kualoa Ranch, as this hosted stroll cruises past many of the movie sights in the valley. It's about a mile-and-a-half and easily paced.
Kids under 10 can join the Adventure Walk for free.
The OC 16 Kids Sprint is a fun way for the keiki to compete just like their parents in a supportive environment where everyone is a winner. The runs are free for kids 12 and younger, and the race distances will vary from around 100 yards to 1 kilometer, depending on the sizes and ages of the children. A parent or guardian must be present to sign a waiver form each child. Parents of the younger children can run alongside their children during the sprint.
The Outrigger Hotels & Resorts XTERRA Kids Zone will be open from 8 a.m. to approximately 1 p.m., and it will offer children a chance to participate in numerous games and activities. Several challenge stations will be set up, including an obstacle course, climbing wall, and drawing/coloring areas. Outrigger Hotels & Resorts will also give away tattoos and other prizes for the children.
XTERRA UNIVERSITY Presented by Paul Mitchell
There will be two sessions at Waikiki Beach Walk on Saturday – one at 10 a.m. featuring four-time XTERRA Trail Run world champion Max King, and another at 2 p.m. featuring both defending women's world champion Lucy Smith and two-time age-group world champ Keith Rieger. These elite runners will offer expert advice on trail running and preparation for the race. The clinic, presented by Paul Mitchell, is free and open to runners of all ages and skill levels. Each session will allow time for runners to ask questions of the featured speakers.
Pro stylists from Paul Mitchell will be cutting hair from 9:00am until 1pm for just $15, and 100% of that will go to the Challenged Athletes Foundation – helping physically challenged athletes reach their athletic goals.
Kualoa Ranch is only 45 minutes from Waikiki. To get there, take the H-1 Freeway west to the LIKELIKE Highway / Route 63. Proceed up the LIKELIKE Highway and through the Wilson Tunnel. Descend towards Kaneohe town and exit onto KAHEKILI Highway / Route 83, heading north. You will go straight through the light at the end of the KAHEKILI exit.
Continue along Kahekili Highway - note that the road becomes Kamehameha Highway as you pass the historic "Hygienic Store" in the village of Kahalu`u. In about 10 minutes you will see signs indicating you are approaching the Kualoa Ranch entrance which will be on your left as you round the curve past Mokoli`i Island (Chinaman's Hat). Parking at Kualoa Ranch is $5 per vehicle.
To speed up your entry to Kualoa Ranch, please purchase a pass at packet pickup in Waikiki and display it on your dashboard.

I incorporate various techniques and styles to customize the experience for each student.
Guitar, Classical Guitar, Flamenco Guitar, Music Theory
Early Guitar Studies & Pit Orchestra Performances (1995-2002)
I began taking guitar lessons at the age of 11 with blues/jazz guitarist Tom Castonzo, a frequent performer, bandleader and teacher in and around the Chicago area. My studies with Tom lasted for many years and covered various musical and technical aspects of many different styles ranging from jazz to classical and everything in between. In 2002, I began performing in pit orchestras for various musicals including Jesus Christ Superstar, Les Miserable, The Wiz, Little Shop of Horrors, and Seussical the Musical.
Original Music Projects (2003-Present)
From 2003-2008, I wrote and performed music for 2 different progressive rock bands: Dream Haven and The Unit Theory. Dream Haven released the EP entitled "Nostalgia is Five Frame" and The Unit Theory released a full-length album entitled "Seed." Both bands performed all over the greater Chicago-land area and helped me hone my skills as an electric guitarist. Throughout this time, we shared the stage with national touring & recording acts Fear Factory, Mastodon, Enuff Z'nuff, and Algernon, to name a few. I now play lead guitar in the Chicago-based alternative rock band Davenport Ed and am having started an all-instrumental acoustic/rock trio with two percussionists.
Undergraduate Studies (College of Dupage and Northern Illinois University: 2002-2008)
After high school, I attended the College of Dupage (COD) and began studying jazz guitar with Dr. Zvonimir Tot. Towards the end of my studies at COD, I developed an interest in classical guitar and took lessons from Steve Ramsdell. After I received my Associate's Degree in Music from COD I started teaching private guitar lessons at various suburban Chicagoland locations. I graduated from COD in 2004 with an Associate in Music degree. In the fall of 2005, I started my Bachelor's studies in Classical Guitar Performance at Northern Illinois University (NIU) with Fareed Haque (Winner of "Best World Guitarist" in Guitar Magazine). While at NIU, I continued to teach & perform up until I graduated in May 2008 with a Bachelor's degree in Classical Guitar Performance.
Graduate Studies (New England Conservatory of Music: 2008-2010)
I started my graduate studies in August 2008 at the New England Conservatory of Music (NEC) in Boston, under the tutelage of world-renowned guitarist Eliot Fisk. As an active performer in the greater Boston area, I made it a goal to bring the classical guitar to unorthodox venues such as senior centers, local TV, hospitals, dialysis treatment centers, and even juvenile halls! While at NEC, I started to take an interest in transcription, which is the art of adapting a composition for a voice or instrument other than the original. Eliot Fisk is a master at this, and his guidance was profound. In June 2010, I graduated from NEC with a Master's in Music (with Academic Honors) for Classical Guitar Performance. My master's recital was a tour-de-force of virtuosic classical, acoustic, and electric guitar pieces with music ranging from J.S. Bach to Joaquin Rodrigo to Steve Vai.
Flamenco Guitar & Ritmo Flamenco (2009-Present)
During my time at NEC, I was fortunate enough to meet Grisha Goryachev, a master flamenco guitarist. Grisha introduced me to the basic principals of flamenco guitar and proved to be a wonderful resource. I continue my flamenco guitar studies by learning historical flamenco recordings entirely by ear. Short of living in Spain for extended periods of time, I have found this to be the purest way of learning. I am now the flamenco guitarist for Ritmo Flamenco, an ensemble that features dancer Diane Campbell.
Professional Musician & Awards (2010 – Present)
I moved back to Chicago in July 2010 and have since had hundreds of performances that include weddings, corporate events, restaurants, recitals, and more. My reputation as a premiere performing guitarist has grown rapidly in the past 2 years, and I earned 2 awards at the end of 2012: "Top Solo Guitarist" on Gigmasters.com (the world's largest entertainment site) and "Best of Wedding" on TheKnot.com (the world's largest wedding-planning site). I am a regular featured performing artist at premiere restaurants in the Chicago suburbs including The Cellar Bistro in Wheaton, Eddie Merlot's in Warrenville, and Wildwood Steakhouse in Geneva.
Bass Guitar, Guitar, Classical Guitar, Music Performance, Music Theory, Songwriting, Banjo
Fred is a working professional musician that plays around 120 dates a year all over IL and WI with Bella Cain. In the band, Fred sings as a bass voice and plays electric & acoustic guitar/banjo. On some gigs he jumps on bass and even drums. As THE country band in the midwest, Bella Cain has recently performed along side such Nat'l acts as Brad Paisley, Bucky Covington, Lee Brice, Justin Moore, Dierks Bentley, Blake Shelton, Miranda Lambert and Luke Bryan.
Besides Bella Cain, Fred also performs with his new acoustic duo, Voodoo Country, with Paul Hala. The group is a crowd pleasing, request taking, laid back show that covers pop, rock, and country hits.
Fred occasionally uses that jazz performance degree and plays straight ahead jazz gigs and jazz fusion gigs with some of the best musicians in Chicago. See the videos below for some inspired performances!
Guitar, Classical Guitar, Music Performance, Music Recording, Music Theory
Drawing from my 20 years of experience tinkering in the guitar kitchen, I teach guitar and music theory to students of all ages and abilities in the Chicagoland area. I received my Bachelor of Music degree in 2004 from Ithaca College in Upstate New York, where I studied Jazz and Classical guitar in addition to music theory, history, and recording.
Since graduating I have gone on to perform extensively in New York and Chicago, primarily in a genre pioneered by guitarist Django Reinhardt and called "Gypsy Jazz". I have also filled roles as lead guitarist in musical theatre pit bands, scored original music for films (including the Emmy Award-Winning documentary "100,000"), and taught hundreds of lessons in private, group, and workshop formats.
I teach electric as well as acoustic guitar playing in many different styles (ranging from Classic Rock, Blues, Funk, and Alternative, to Folk, Classical/Spanish, and Jazz).
Guitar, Classical Guitar, Music Performance, Music Theory, Songwriting
Bryan A. makes a living as a teacher, concert guitarist, performance artist, transcriber, studio artist, and composer/arranger. In addition to his private guitar and piano studio, Bryan is currently on strings faculty at Sherwood at Columbia College. Past collaborators and patrons include Halcyon Theatre, Inaside Chicago Dance, Steppenwolf Theatre, Northwestern University, Pick-Staiger Concert Hall, Southport Performing Arts, Devonshire Cultural Center, and Court Theatre. Bryan's guitar style is operatic, influenced by rock, alternative, folk, blues, jazz, pop, punk, R&B, hip-hop, and metal.
"Steven is very professional and extremely helpful. He always has a smile on and is serious about helping you phrase the music. I would highly recommend him to anyone."
"It's been really exciting so far! Jordan has been so helpful, so knowledgeable. I could not have found a better instructor and I'm getting better and better every day."
"My daughter's wedding was weeks away and I had never been able to dance a step. With Jenny's help, I came further than ever before in such short time in any subject."

You've written this story, and no one else has laid eyes on it. You're dying to know if it hits the target, if it's readable. You can't wait for someone to tell you whether it's good. You hand it over to someone, with heart in your throat in some instances, or simple nervous energy in others. You want to know, but you don't. The ordeal is akin to turning in your paper to the teacher. You'd love to see the A; hate to see the F. Are you seeking feedback or judgment? If you enter a contest, you are judged. You are deemed worthy or not. You win or lose. We seem to think that the judgment process is a credible one, when someone rates us against a set of standards. The term JUDGMENT literally means: criticism, discernment, mandate, rationality, sentence, verdict The word has a very black and white feel to it. I believe that too many of us seek judgment . . . then hate it when achieved. We argue with the standards used, credentials of the judges, and rules. The inflexible feel of the term sets us up for failure. We become highly upset or crash and burn. For some reason we take judgment as gospel. We inflict that strife on ourselves. FEEDBACK, on the other hand, has quite a different definition. It's a response to an action. In this case, it's opinion returned about your writing. Let's breakdown the word, though. FEED means: furnish, nourish, maintain, satisfy, stoke, strengthen, support BACK means to return. We can thrive on feedback, or accept judgment. If we look at judgment of our work more in terms of feedback, we grow. But we have to alter our attitudes in order to make that differentiation. It's not yes or no, good or bad. It's a process. Writers in critique groups use an internal selection process to decide what critiques aid and which impede. They categorize opinions as those that help and those that do not apply. When you receive someone else's appraisal of your work, soften your stance and open your mind. That's the only way you'll be able to sift through the minutiae and determine what makes you stronger. The next time you get mad about someone's reply, remember it's you who decides if that someone offers feedback or judging. Hope MAY SPECIAL! Our Tweetebook library contains 20+ niche markets.

Persephone Vandegrift ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ARTICLE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Cost of Creating By Kirsty Logan Everyone I know has two job titles: the one they get paid to do, and the one they wish they got paid to do. I'm a waitress/ writer. My girlfriend is a graphic designer/musician, and my brother is a lighting tech/filmmaker. They do the former to afford the equipment and studio time to do the latter, but as a writer I don't need to pay for electronics or locations. Writers don't really need tools to create their art. A paper and pencil, a laptop, chalk and a pavement, a stick and an expanse of loose dirt; anything can be utilised to put words together. I'm sure it would be nice to write on thick sheets of handmade paper with a Mont Blanc pen engraved with your initials, but a ballpoint and a school jotter work just as well. There is one tool that all writers need. These necessary parts of the writing process - the initial drafts, the typing, the submitting - all cost time. I have to work my day job to pay for this time. However, as writers we frequently squander time. If I wanted to hang a picture I would buy a hammer as a tool to help me; similarly when I want to write a novel I earn time. But I don't wield time as effectively as I might wield a hammer. Every week I work as a waitress to earn enough to buy a little free time for writing, and then I spend my hard-won Wednesday morning playing silly Facebook games and making unnecessarily complicated plans for lunch. I do not spend all of my precious minutes churning out beautiful, effortless prose and opening acceptance letters from London publishers. Although I work hard to earn time, I do not always take the best care of it. If I did have a Mont Blanc pen engraved with my initials then I'm sure I wouldn't use it to dig loose hairs out of the drain; if I had thick sheets of handmade paper then I wouldn't use it to mop up spills. But this is exactly what I'm doing with the only tool I have: time. Spending an hour on social networking websites is like letting decaying grass build up in the blade of my lawnmower. What is the point in earning time only to waste it? In writing this essay, I used several tricks to fool myself into feeling productive. I haven't had my breakfast yet, which is a conscious attempt to feel super-productive and say to myself, "Look, you produce work before your day has even begun! Who needs meager foodstuffs when you have the sustenance of words? How wonderfully conscientious you are." I also have a numb rear end, as I write at the wooden kitchen table and forgot to put a cushion on the chair. Getting up to fetch a cushion would be an admittance that my concentration has waned, so I must suffer the numbness until I have written my final paragraph. And so on. It's 9.30am on a Wednesday. My girlfriend is off designing corporate websites to pay for new guitar strings, and my brother is winding wires around his elbows to pay for camera hire. I spent the weekend making coffee for strangers to pay for this time. Writing this essay isn't as wasteful as playing FarmVille on Facebook, but it's not improving that car-chase scene in my novel either. I'm going to get some cornflakes and a cushion, and then I am going to spend this time properly. *** BIO: Kirsty Logan is a writer, editor, teacher, waitress, and general layabout.

So far a few new N0DRM / NRP fixes have been released today and I am adding them as I find them to the above linked post. If anyone comes across download links feel free to reply with them in this thread and I will add them to the main article.
August 31, 2012 Releases:
- Atelier.Meruru.The.Apprentice.of.Arland.EBOOT.PATC H.100.EUR.PS3-N0DRM
- Carnival.Island.EBOOT.PATCH.100.USA.PS3-N0DRM
- Child.of.Eden.EBOOT.PATCH.100.EUR.PS3-N0DRM
- DreamWorks.Super.Star.Kartz.EBOOT.PATCH.100.USA.PS 3-N0DRM
- Jikkyou_Powerful_Pro_Yakyuu_2011_Ketteiban_Fix_For _CFW3.55_REPACK_READNFO_PS3-NRP
- Musou_Orochi_2_EBOOT_PATCH_REPACK_JPN_PS3-NRP
AFAIK, there aren't any SSX fix that works perfectly yet. True, with the fix you can boot into the game. However, when you proceed further and choose the world tour, you'll be greeted by black (grey) screen right after the movie. You can't go any further beyond that, the only option is pushing the PS button to quit the game & return to XMB.
To quote member furientez said:
Unless there's already a new fix that I'm not aware of, it's still summer for all of us now
child of eden seems like a good game. if you're into that sort of thing. its hard to get the platinum and i doubt i can but ill try.thanks!
Nice. More fixes. Looks like I need to finish some old games in my HDD

The search for unknown mutations in genomic DNA is important for studying the genetic basis of diseases and disorders, including cancer. Additionally, examining DNA polymorphisms is useful for ecological and evolutionary studies of terrestrial, marine, and microbial organisms, with applications ranging from species identification to delineation of population structure to monitoring genetic diversity.
The DCode Universal Mutation Detection System can scan for single-base changes by any of the following electrophoretic techniques:
• Single-stranded conformation polymorphism (SSCP)
• Denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE)
• Constant denaturing gel electrophoresis (CDGE)
• Temporal temperature gradient gel electrophoresis (TTGE)
Flexible and powerful, the DCode system is the one electrophoresis system that can perform any combination of these techniques. At the center of the system is the temperature control module (which includes a microprocessor-controlled heater, a buffer-recirculating pump, and a stirrer). For techniques requiring accurate temperature control, such as SSCP and TTGE, the gels are immersed in the buffer, and temperatures are regulated between 5° and 70°C. Any run temperature below ambient can be achieved with the cooling tank used in conjunction with an external laboratory chiller. The DCode system can run 64 samples in as little as 2 hours — a major consideration when you're screening DNA for sequence variations.

Yes only once a week, no not nearly a year. Skinning Onyxia would give two to four scales per kill (as Euan said). That'd make 2.5 to 5 months. It'd take you that long to get everyone geared up from Molten Core (remember, 40 people need those drops, and there wasn't a token system yet, so once all your warlocks (of which it seemed you'd have about 2) had their Felheart, any more Felheart that dropped was wasted chances for others to gear.
Progression was slow and challenging back then. My hunter will never sell or disenchant her epics from those days.

A Father and Son's Flaming Hot Rod Springer - Hot Bike Magazine
"As he started to show off and rev the throttle, Sam's hand accidentally slipped off the clutch and the bike took off running over his wife's friend, and slamming into his Corvette and '67 Chevy truck."
There's nothing more special than the bond between a father and son. Well, then again maybe there isthe bond between a man and his motorcycle. Not one to push his family aside for the freedom of two wheels, Sam Ball of Mills River, North Carolina, decided it would be a great experience to build a project bike with his son, Ryan.
Scouring the Cycle Trader and internet for a project bike, Sam eventually ended up at an absolute auction where he spied the perfect bike, an Evo based Softail. After some tactical bidding, Sam and Ryan eventually had the Softy in their possession and were headed back home to start work. Once they got home, Sam and Ryan started tearing the bike apart, and when they looked back at the pile of parts they had accumulated and the skeleton of a motorcycle before them, they realized they might be in a little over their heads. So Sam began searching for the perfect shop or builder that could build the bike the way they had envisioned. They eventually stumbled across Randy of Miller's Cycle and Hot Rod in Leicester, North Carolina. After talking with Randy extensively, Sam and Ryan felt that Randy seemed like a cool and honest guy and understood exactly what they were going for with this bike (or at least what was left of the bike).
A few days later Sam and Ryan had the pile of parts in two boxes with the frame, engine, and trans all sitting out separately. After loading everything into the truck, they hauled over to Randy's shop. When they pulled up and started unloading the parts, Randy just stood there and shook his head. Once all the parts were sitting in a corner of the shop, Randy reassured Sam and Ryan that he could build them the bike they desired. As they mulled over the parts, Randy made some suggestions of his own and they all agreed that a collaboration of their ideas would work best.
Some of the ideas they had were to ditch the stock frame and go with a Mid-West Softail frame, rake the neck, add a Biker's Choice Springer, mount up a suicide shifter setup, and have Randy make some custom upsweep pipes, a tire-hugging rear fender, and a hand-formed sissybar.
While the mock-up and fabrication was going on, Sam and Ryan would drop by regularly and had a great time hanging out watching the build and making friends with Randy's brother, Stacy, and dad, Joe. When it came time for paint, Sam and Ryan wanted something really flashy but also plain. Somewhere along the line the idea of grinding flames and incorporating them into scallops came up, and after practicing on all the metal he had lying around his shop, Randy eventually nailed it on the tank and rear fender. To help set off the flames/scallops, Randy coated them with Burnt Kandy Orange, then added some matte black panels and outlined it all with some red pinstriping. When it was completed, it was exactly what Sam and Ryan were hoping for and more. While it took Sam some time to get used to riding a suicide-shift bike, he eventually got the hang of it.
With the bike finally back home in its own garage, Sam had some friends over who wanted to see it, so he led them out back to his shop and pulled back the sheet. As everyone oohed and ahhed, Sam decided he wanted them to hear the radical upsweeps Randy had made, so he fired it up and let everyone listen for a bit. As he started to show off and rev the throttle, Sam's hand accidentally slipped off the clutch and the bike took off running over his wife's friend, and slamming into his Corvette and '67 Chevy truck. Luckily the friend was ok (but she does still rag Sam about the incident) and now it's a running joke. After realizing the friend wasn't hurt, Sam became sick to his stomach about thrashing his bike, Vette, and pickup. Once again Sam and Ryan loaded the bike back into the truck, and headed to Randy's shop.
When Randy saw Sam and Ryan pull up with the battered bike in the back, Randy just shook his head and reassured them he could fix it (and have it done in time for an upcoming show only three days away). As expected, Randy lived up to his word and exceeded their expectations as the bike took First Place in the show.
Sam told us he had a great time working on this project with his son, and while he's very grateful for the excellent work Randy did, he knows Randy's thankful for the extra work he acquired when they dropped off the Vette and truck to be fixed as well. HB

Minnesota Reflections
LAMBERTON COMMERCIAL CLUB LAMBERTON, MINNESOTA September 6, 1963 Dr. 0. Meredith Wilson, President University of Minnesota Minneapolis, Minnesota Dear Dr. WiIson: The committee representing the Lamberton Commercial Club and all the citizens of the community would like to take this means of re-emphasizing and adding to the material presented to the sub-committee of the Site Selection Committee for the southwestern college. 1. LOCATION Lamberton is located very near the center of the area to be served. The figures prepared by your committee would indicate that Lamberton1s location would provide an equal opportunity to the potential college students of this area to commute or to live on campus. We have three hard surfaced highways with which we can serve the entire nineteen counties. 2. SITE The 160--200 acres of land that would be donated joins the city on the east. This land is high and level with a gentle fall in four directions from the center. This area is bounded by a hard surface road on the south with the potential of five to six streets extended into the area plus an entrance to State Highway ]k. 3. WATER, SEWER & ELECTRICITY Our present disposal plant was constructed to serve a city of 5,000 with area to expand. It is located approximately one quarter of a mile from the college site area with a 20 to 30 foot fall from this area but is not in view from the site. Water is plentiful. Our supply comes from two wells that are operated on a one well standby basis. Our supply of electricity is more than ample as we are connected with four major lines. 4. UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA SOUTHWESTERN EXPERIMENTAL STATION We feel that this station, as it serves the agricultural phase today and with the plans that have been set up for the expansion of the facilities and program of this station, will become a very important factor in education in this southwestern area.

Youth Reproductive Health in a Controversial Climate: Reclaiming Strategies That Work
Various Keynotes Fri 16th April 2004 All day University of Southern California The Pacific Institute for Women's Health, the UCLA Bixby Program in Population and Reproductive Health, and WYSE (Women and Youth Supporting Each Other)
Friday, April 16, 2004
Time to be announced. - 12:45 AM
Los Angeles, CA 90095
April 16-17, 2004, Los Angeles, CA

Los Angeles, CA 90089
The Pacific Institute for Women's Health, the UCLA Bixby Program in Population and Reproductive Health, and WYSE (Women and Youth Supporting Each Other), with additional support from Planned Parenthood Los Angeles, The California Wellness Foundation and the Hollywood Teen Community Project, are hosting a conference to share experiences in empowering youth to achieve optimal reproductive health, both domestically and internationally. Participants at the conference will also help develop a policy directive promoting a comprehensive approach to adolescent reproductive and sexual health that will be publicized broadly. The conference will bring together researchers, NGOs and health providers to share best practices in sexuality education and service delivery, to present research supporting the impact of comprehensive education on adolescent sexual behavior, and to solidify a network that can exert pressure on policymakers at the state, national and international levels. Featured presenters include: Dr. Douglas Kirby of ETR Associates; Dr. Claire Brindis of the University of California at San Francisco; Dr. Mark Schuster of the UCLA/RAND Center for Adolescent Health Promotion; Dr. Sharon Camp, President of the Alan Guttmacher Institute; and James Wagoner, President of Advocates for Youth.
In the past decade, significant gains have been realized in health education programs and services for youth. Civil society groups and youth advocates have succeeded in convincing many governments and international organizations that youth have a right to reproductive health information and skills-building to become productive adults. Youth rights are now explicit in the United Nations' Millennium Development Goals. However, implementation remains limited and challenged.
While some progress has been made, there still is much to do. According to the Alan Guttmacher Institute, 900,000 women in the United States under age 20 become pregnant each year, 80% of these pregnancies are unintended, four million teens acquire a sexually-transmitted infection (STI) each year, and two young people are newly infected with HIV every hour. The United States continues to have one of the highest teenage pregnancy rates in the developed world, and American teens have extremely high rates of STI infections compared to teenagers from other developed countries. Yet politicians, educators, parents and NGOs cannot agree on how to educate youth about sexuality and reproductive health and improve their access to services. Conservative religious movements continue to polarize the debate by insisting in excluding information on condoms and other effective contraceptives from education to adolescents. Studies have shown that adolescents are less likely to use protection while having sex when they are given limited information on the practice of safe sex, such as condoms and oral contraceptives. There have been no studies demonstrating that abstinence-only programs are effective in reducing sexual activity, unintended pregnancy or STI/AIDS in the long run.
Opposition to comprehensive sexuality education asserts that it promotes promiscuity, despite research that proves that these programs are effective in reducing unintended pregnancy and STI/AIDS transmission. Despite research showing the effectiveness of comprehensive sexuality education, the current U.S. administration has chosen instead to allocate $117 million in federal funds for abstinence only programs in 2003. States that choose to teach comprehensive sexuality education, like California, must find state funds to continue the programs. Due to the economic situation facing the United States, many states are opting for abstinence only programs to access federal funds. This trend leaves youth to enter adulthood with inadequate, biased information to make wise decisions about their sexual and reproductive health.
At the international level, there is yet another major barrier to youth sexual and reproductive health: the current policy known as the Global Gag Rule (or Mexico City policy), which prohibits assistance for family planning from the US Agency for International Development (USAID) to foreign NGOs that use funding from any source to perform abortions, provide counseling or referrals about abortion, or to lobby for the practice. Youth organizations and educators in less developed countries across the globe depend on USAID for significant portions of their program funding. Withdrawal of USAID funding often means that critical reproductive and sexual health services, including HIV prevention, cannot continue. For instance, in Zambia where abortion is legal, the leading family planning organization lost 24 percent of its funding and was forced to cut crucial service to rural areas because of its refusal to sign the Gag Rule. As a result of lack of funds, unwanted pregnancies rise, leading to an increase of unsafe abortions and maternal deaths. In less developed countries, especially in Africa, the lack of access to sexual and reproductive health services represents a looming health crisis for youth. The status of youth in Uganda and Zimbabwe is an example. Of all Ugandans living with HIV/AIDS, 46% are in the age group 10-24 years. Uganda also has one of the highest adolescent pregnancy rates in Sub-Saharan Africa. In Zimbabwe, young women age 15-24 represent more than 66% of HIV infections.
The restrictions on reproductive health--both in the United States and overseas--call for concerted advocacy efforts from proponents of comprehensive education and services, especially for youth. Action and visibility at the policy level will balance the current misperception that abstinence-only education is the prevailing view. It is also necessary for providers and educators to share tools and models that are effective in reaching youth with comprehensive information, thereby decreasing teenage pregnancy, STIs, HIV and unsafe abortion.
The Pacific Institute and the Bixby Program both possess solid experience in research, program development and evaluation in adolescent sexual and reproductive health locally and internationally. All three organizations are active in advocacy efforts on youth initiatives locally and internationally. The conference will include plenary speakers, case studies and workshops for skill-building in best practices in adolescent sexual and reproductive health. During the one and a half day conference, participants will finalize a policy statement and action plan for additional advocacy activities to extend comprehensive sexuality education.
Parking--Parking is reserved at the Figueroa Street Parking Plaza (Lot PSX), on Figueroa Street between Jefferson Blvd and Exposition Blvd. Parking is $6.00 per day.
