I have begun creating the first paintball team for my university (Canadian of course) and am super excited to get it going. If my team becomes a success, I hope that one day it will inspire other university/college students to develop teams across Canada. The states has a similar set-up currently in which school teams compete against one another in the same way hockey, lacrosse, and soccer teams would. Paintball is more expensive in Canada than the us because we import almost everything. I believe that if we promote paintball play among universities it will lead to an explosion in demand for the paintball market to either converge in Canada or fuel the birth of new paintball companies in Canada. I have the dream to one day participate in a Canadian paintball league against other schools Canada wide. I want to know what you guys think, and I hope others are inspired to form paintball teams for their schools.
I have a dream...

Western Blotting
Western blot analysis of extracts from HeLa cells, transfected with 100 nM SignalSilence® Control siRNA (Unconjugated) #6568 (-), SignalSilence® SP1 siRNA I #12104 (+), or SignalSilence® SP1 siRNA II (+), using SP1 Antibody #5931 (upper) or β-Actin (D6A8) Rabbit mAb #8457 (lower). The SP1 Antibody confirms silencing of SP1 expression, while the β-Actin (D6A8) Rabbit mAb is used as a loading control. The SP1 Antibody cross-reacts with a protein of unknown origin at 55 kDa, which is unaffected by SignalSilence® SP1 siRNA I #12104 or SignalSilence® SP1 siRNA II.
SignalSilence® SP1 siRNA II from Cell Signaling Technology (CST) allows the researcher to specifically inhibit SP1 expression using RNA interference, a method whereby gene expression can be selectively silenced through the delivery of double stranded RNA molecules into the cell. All SignalSilence® siRNA products from CST are rigorously tested in-house and have been shown to reduce target protein expression by western analysis.
Quality Control
Oligonucleotide synthesis is monitored base by base through trityl analysis to ensure appropriate coupling efficiency. The oligo is subsequently purified by affinity-solid phase extraction. The annealed RNA duplex is further analyzed by mass spectrometry to verify the exact composition of the duplex. Each lot is compared to the previous lot by mass spectrometry to ensure maximum lot-to-lot consistency.
Directions For Use
CST recommends transfection with 100 nM SignalSilence® SP1 siRNA II 48 to 72 hours prior to cell lysis. For transfection procedure, follow protocol provided by the transfection reagent manufacturer. Please feel free to contact CST with any questions on use.
Each vial contains the equivalent of 100 transfections, which corresponds to a final siRNA concentration of 100 nM per transfection in a 24-well plate with a total volume of 300 μl per well.
Specificity protein 1 (SP1) is a ubiquitously expressed transcription factor belonging to the family of C2H2-type zinc finger containing DNA-binding proteins. SP1 binds GC-rich motifs with high affinity and regulates the expression of numerous mammalian genes (1,2). It interacts with many other transcription factors, such as c-Myc, EGR1, and Stat1, and with basal transcription machinery components. SP1 interacts with chromatin-modifying factors, such as histone deacetylases (HDACs) and p300 in chromatin remodeling. Transcriptional activity and stability of SP1 are regulated by post-translational modification, including phosphorylation, acetylation, ubiquitination, and glycosylation (3). Glycosylation of SP1 following insulin treatment leads to increased nuclear localization, while glucagon treatment increases cytoplasmic SP1 levels (4-6). Investigators have found high levels of SP1 in patients with Alzheimer's disease (7).

text: The people ran in panic. The sun was almost down. The clouds were swiftly moving. Fear had gripped the town. The man was rushing to get home. And beat the rising moon. He raced to save his mortal life. The beast would be there soon. He ran along the torch-lit streets. Looking left and right. Almost at his humble home. No monster yet in sight. Finally, he reached his house. Nestled in the trees. Out of breath he stumbled forth. And fell onto his knees. That's when he felt the piercing pain. Much worse than any bite. He doubled over, paralyzed. And screamed into the night. For there was no where he could run. No race for him to win. The horror he sought to escape. Already dwelled within. His body started to contort. His clothes began to tear. His teeth grew into sharpened fangs. His body grew thick hair. The man who had been six feet tall. Was now a nine foot beast. His jaw would rip the flesh of men. Tonight he'd run and feast. The creature howled up at the moon. Through tearful eyes he spied. Although transformed into a wolf. The man inside still cried.

We are a small family company of real estate investors ourselves, from founder and owner Kevin Kiene to our youngest employee Erica Scott. We live and breathe property management and real estate laws; when our VP Brian Davis is singing in the shower, he wonders how much the local two-unit apartment building will go for at auction (and may even go and bid). Our Director of Operations, Denise Supplee, falls asleep and wakes up the next morning still pondering rumors of new landlord-tenant law proposals in Hawaii. Dan Pipito stays up late at night following real estate thought leaders the way teenage girls follow celebrity gossip. Edwina Davis owns a property management company that operates hundreds of miles away from her current home. And so it goes throughout our entire company.
We know real estate investing and property management, because we are landlords and real estate investors.

Quote:Thanks Guys,I was out there tonight and the reset of the hand pad made a big difference. The gotos were good, but after about 10 gotos, they were a bit off. Might be that I need to reset the backlash values. But the motors sound kind of funny like they keep revving up and down during slews. I probably need to go through it and do some adjustments. It was a gift to the school and we really haven't used it too much. But bottom line, it seems to be working.Thanks again,Dave

October 1, 2012 - Philadelphia, PA
by Neil Gussman
In 2012 the Beckman Center for the History of Chemistry at the Chemical Heritage Foundation marks 25 years of support for scholarship in the history of chemistry and early science.
But really the party should have been last year. In the academic year 2011-12 and continuing this year, the Beckman Center at CHF is the largest grantor of fellowships in the history of science in the U.S.
No Ivy League university or national foundation holds first place in backing the scholarship. Across America, funding has been cut for the study of the history of science as well as science itself. Arnold and Mabel Beckman created the program when CHF was just five years old and occupied two basement rooms on the campus of the University of Pennsylvania. Who could have foreseen that a modest program in a fledgling organization could become the national leader.

News ReleaseIWV CERRO COSO ANNOUNCES ENGINEERING DEGREE PARTNERSHIP WITH CSU, LONG BEACHMarch 4, 2011Ridgecrest, California… Earning a Bachelor of Science in Electrical and Mechanical Engineering will get a whole lot easier for Cerro Coso Community College engineering students beginning this fall. California State University, Long Beach (CSULB) will begin offering degree completion programs in Engineering in the greater Antelope Valley starting in the fall of 2011. An information meeting about the new four-year program will be held at Cerro Coso Community College on Monday, March 7, 2011 in the Main Building Room 334 at 6 p.m. The program is a shared commitment between CSULB, industry, government partners, and community colleges to ensure that our region has access to high quality and affordable engineering education. "CSU, Long Beach has carefully researched and evaluated the implementation of this program to ensure the sustainability of this educational opportunity for our students," stated Heather Ostash, Vice President of Student Services at Cerro Coso. Students must complete their first and second year course work at a community college or university prior to enrolling into the CSULB Program. Classes will be held at the Lancaster University Center (LUC). Recognizing local potential a collaborative effort has been made to train and retain highly skilled engineers from within Cerro Coso's service area. The college launched a new Engineering Program in January of 2009 with the generous assistance of local industry leaders. "Cerro Coso Community College has a long history of preparing students for careers in many areas. With the introduction of this new four-year degree program with Cal State University, Long Beach, Cerro Coso students interested in a career in electrical and mechanical engineering will now have a local pathway to a Bachelor of Science Degree. A degree in Mechanical and Electrical Engineering can open the door to many possible exciting career choices for our students," said Ostash. The Lancaster University Center's location will offer students sound educational foundation, competent faculty with excellent teaching and mentoring skills, state-of-the art facilities, and unprecedented access to industry professionals, real-world engineering projects, and internships with local companies. "It's exciting to be able to work with educational, industry, and government leaders and develop a program like this at a time when budgets are non-existent. This would not be possible without their support and is a real testimony to what we can accomplish when we work together," stated Cerro Coso President, Jill Board. All interested individuals are invited to attend the Program Information Session on Monday, March 7th at 6 p.m. in the Main Building, Room 334. Visit www.ccpe.csulb.edu/engineering to find out more about the program and to register for the information session. For more information call the CSULB Customer Service Center at (800) 963-2250.

CHICAGO – Every NFL fan in America should know new Bears coach Marc Trestman by the end of the season.
The Bears learned that they would play 25 percent of their regular-season games in prime time, including once each month, as part of the NFL schedule that was released Thursday. That number could increase for the Bears if other late-season games are flexed into prime time.
Locked into place are four contests in the national spotlight. They include a pair of ESPN "Monday Night Football" appearances on Nov. 4 at Lambeau Field against the Green Bay Packers and Dec. 9 at Soldier Field against the Dallas Cowboys. The Bears also will visit the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sept. 22 for NBC's "Sunday Night Football," and they will play host to the New York Giants on Oct. 10 as part of the NFL Network's slate of Thursday night games.
Before his prime-time debut as the 14th head coach in franchise history, Trestman will have a pair of noon games on the lakefront. The Bears will open the regular season Sept. 8 against Andy Dalton and the Cincinnati Bengals, and they will remain home in Week 2 for a Sept. 15 game against the division rival Minnesota Vikings.
Not since 1999 have the Bears opened the regular season with back-to-back home games. They have won the past three consecutive season openers at Soldier Field against Detroit, Atlanta and Indianapolis, and they are 17-3 in season openers at home since 1984.
With 53 opening-day wins in team history, the Bears lead all NFL franchises. They have won nearly 60 percent of their Week 1 games with a 53-35-5 overall record.
However, as last season showed, the end of the season could loom larger than the beginning. The Bears jumped to a 7-1 start in 2012 but lost five of their next six games and eventually missed the playoffs, which prompted Lovie Smith's dismissal after nine seasons as coach.
With that said, the Bears' final six games of the regular season include four road contests against St. Louis, Minnesota, Cleveland and Philadelphia.
The Bears also will play host the Cowboys in the fourth-to-last game of the regular season, and they will welcome the Packers on Dec. 29 at Soldier Field in the regular-season finale.

Edgar Germain Hilaire Degas French, about 1857 - 1858 Oil on paper, laid down on canvas 8 1/4 x 6 3/8 in. 95.GG.43
In this self-portrait a young Edgar Degas turns his head to look out at the spectator. He wears casual clothes, including an open collar and broad brimmed hat. The informal, extreme close-up view of Degas's face and his impassive, almost sullen expression echo the unpretentiousness of his clothing. The small-scale, informal presentation and lightness of touch emphasize the intimacy of this image and the still-tentative character of the young artist. Around 1857, when he was twenty-three or twenty-four, Degas traveled to Italy, where he spent much of his time making copies after Renaissance masters. The period was one of self-education and he drew prolifically, writing in one of his notebooks, "I must thoroughly realize I know nothing at all; it is the only way to get ahead." Finding in himself a willing sitter, he made fifteen or more self-portraits in various media during his time in Italy.

2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser 4X4
ProsSuperior quality. Most capable 4X4 I've owned; although the Jeep TJ was smaller for tighter trails and the Chev S-10 took a lot of abuse and always looked good. Before I had a bike rack, my full suspension bike (not easy to take front wheel off) could fit in the back with the seats down. ConsThe 6-speed manual is nice to have, especially in snow and city/trail speeds, but on the highway it's geared too low. Shifting to 6th at 60km/hr means that highway cruising at 120km/h gets the revs up and sucks the gas. Premium fuel only. Rear clamshell doors can be awkward in mall parking spaces. Stock rack is nice, but would be better if it was fulll length of roof.

2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser 4X4
Prosgreat bulid quality, distinctive looks, powerful, True step back to what a 4x4 actually is. Consblind spots, feels crosswinds on the highway, . comparable sized SUVS have better Fuel Milage ratings
Toyota Fj Cruiser Good At Everything — I love this vehicle it has done anything and everything I have asked of it. It is an SUV that is a Truck at heart not a mini van or a family seden.The 4x4 capability is great and it will comfortably tow the same loads as a small V8 half ton truck. Fuel miliage is ok fetching about 500km a tank (72L) on mixed driving. There is no mistaking this vehicle for any other it has a very unique look and draws a lott of attention. I took a chance buying a introductory model as it was possible that I would be running into recalls and problems that had not been seen before. This vehicle has been rock solid and with 30K on it the first year has not been in for anything more than the maintenance schedule. |
2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser 4X4
ProsLooks, off-road performance, build quality. ConsPrice, fuel economy, difficult access to rear seats.
07 Fj Cruiser — Just got it but everything is great so far. Handles well for an SUV, ride is smooth and less truck like than I expected. Power is impressive as well. A little on the expensive side for the amenities but then again it's the off-road gear and ruggedness that your paying for. I do have to say it's very enjoyable to drive, it just makes you feel cool lol. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) |
2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser 4X4
ProsVery fun to drive Conscan't think of anything...
Love It! — ok... where do i start...? Performance: acceleration was suprising for a 3.5 liter V6. braking was excelent.... it could stop on a dime in the middle of an ice storm. it handeled wonderfuly for having such a high center of gravity. Build Quality: It was built amazinging well. i met a guy who had one and he said that when he was having fun off road one day he went off a cliff at about 25 mph and 13 feet below him was the ground. when the FJ hit the ground... he simply just drove home. with the one i had... on Jan 21, '06, there was a bit of snow that had fallen... we were driving up a hill and a man in a ford ranger comes over the hill at a high rate of speed and plows into us because he had lost control due to the snow. when he hit us, his truck split in half and flew in different directions. lol there was almost no damage at all to our car. Appearance: atractive looking car. a good throw back look. the interior is rugged yet comfortable. Cost of Ownership: A bit of a gas guzzeler... low maintenance costs though. Fun Factor: Awesome to drive... really fun off road. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) |
2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser Base
Prosrubber flloor mats, good for offroad Consthe half door
Fj Review — Very good car just a little hard to get a kid in and out of the back seat because of the half doors also it is good because we can put the dogs in the back and not worry about the hair because of the rubber mats and take them out and wash them Primary Use: Family transportation |
2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser 4X4
Prossize,looks,build quality ConsBLIND SPOTS!!
Fj Cruiser — I love this car! its just big enough for an suv but not overly huge like a suburban. Gets good gas mileage from a 4.0 L v6 that gets close to 240 hp stock...The things definitely got power but it leaves me wanting more, thankfully there's tons of upgrades available! looks like a tank!! |
2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser Base
ProsEasy to clean, Nice interior, great mileage ConsAll plastic inside, and looks like a dinosaur
Fj Maddness — I wanted an SUV and saw one of these pass by me and so i did some research and found out that FJ Cruisers are pretty economical on gas (15 gal tank) and they're meant for off-roading. I got some sort of special edition with leaver and plastic fake metal trim on the inside. I have yet to meet anyone with an interior like mine. I think this is One of the best SUVs to get that it out on the market today. |
2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser 4X4
Proseverything is good exept whats not Constraction controll is always on unless in 4low
Fj Cruiser — i love the styling inside and out everything is watterproof including the seats there are some blind spot but you get used to it very quickly exellent acceleration and braking and good fuel milage for a 4x4 gets about 12-13 L/100km on daily driving. its a bit top heavy and wavy at high speed tops out at 178km/h and its a blast to drive |
2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser 4X4
ProsEasy to clean ConsTerrible gas mileage. The back doors are not very convenient. No
2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser Base
ProsPerfect for a couple. The cargo area with fold down rear seats, covers most needs. ConsSince my husband is tall, there is not a lot of room in the back seat for passengers. Rear passenger needs to wait for front passenger to unbuckle seat belt before opening the rear door.

Yesterday State Reps. DebraLee Hovey (R-112), Dan Carter (R-2) and Mitch Bolinsky (R-106) were appointed to the newly formed bipartisan legislative task force on gun violence prevention and school safety in the wake of the tragic Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.
The task force will conduct a review of current law and make recommendations on a range of potential legislation to prevent gun violence, enhance school security and ensure the availability of mental health services in Connecticut.
"Each and every one of us cares deeply about Connecticut and I am honored Rep. Cafero appointed me to this task force," Rep. Hovey said. "Working together we will be able to contribute ideas for thoughtful legislation to address the serious issues of mental health services, school safety and violent crime. I'm confident we will be able to create legislation that benefits the entire state."
"The issues we will grapple with are multi-faceted, complicated issues that elicit very strong emotions from members of our community and beyond," said Rep. Carter, who represents the southwestern portion of Newtown. "With direction from the people of Newtown, I look forward to taking meaningful action to help make our state safer and more secure as our families continue to heal and contend with this new reality." He added "I would like to thank legislative leadership for recognizing the importance of including the Newtown Delegation in this task force."
"My role as a member of this task force will be to serve as a voice for the people of Newtown as we craft legislation and policy that, I believe, will have far reaching, positive impacts. The strength and caring of this community is already manifesting itself in the form of "Community Conversations" and powerful grass roots groups who want to make our world better, safer place for children and families." said Rep. Bolinsky, a Newtown resident who represents 85% of the community in the General Assembly. "I remain committed to a thoughtful, deliberate approach to this process and look forward to analyzing these issues from all angles to develop a workable, comprehensive set of solutions."
Legislative leadership has appointed Rep. Hovey to the subcommittee on mental health, Rep. Carter to the subcommittee on gun control and Rep. Bolinsky to the subcommittee on school safety.
The task force will provide recommendations for a bipartisan emergency certified bill in March.
The first full meeting of the task force will occur on Friday, January 18th at 1:30pm in Room 2E. The group will conduct at least one public hearing before creating a final package of legislation.
Newtown Delegation Appointed to Bipartisan Task Force on Gun Violence Prevention and Children's Safety
Yesterday the Newtown Delegation was appointed to a new bipartisan legislative task force on gun violence prevention and school safety in the wake of the tragic Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.

Very inspirational and moving. Quite appropriate for a marathon, to run in the paths of those that 70 years ago opted spirit and vision over practical earthly prospects. The first half goes through beach towns and villages with nice crowds and rock bands. The openness is quite and relaxing. The cons are that a km or two in the last quarter go through tiny winding tracks in the woods, where runners queue and you can't get speed. You should also know that the water and stops are not always at the expected intervals. Lastly, for an outsider it was not easy to figure out the technical matters, as there were no English speaking representatives in the expo and we couldn't even find orientations or explanations in French.
Great location, and the course has some great sights along Juno and Sword Beach and Pegasus Bridge. However, they misplaced my medical certificate and almost didn't let me run. I checked my email and verified that I sent it 4 months before the race. Registration packet only had chip and number; I had to ask around in broken French where the buses to the start left from and when. The last bus leaves 90 minutes before the start time and it is about a 15-minute drive, so plan on having to wait around at the start for a while with limited bathrooms and other support facilities. Spectators were great the first 12K as it is along city streets, but then they started to taper off as the course started going through less populated areas (sometimes across fields) and through running trails. They did not have sunblock available along the route, so if it is sunny, plan on having a pouch in your shorts or you might get a little burn. Post-race festivities were average. Massages by the French girls was very nice but the wait was over 30 minutes. SWAG bag consisted of shirt (nice NB) and tourism guide (which would have been nice when I registered because it had some good restaurant coupons). Overall, race was marginal. I probably will not run this race again, which is unfortunate because the location is great and running is a great way to celebrate the theme of the race and associated events.
This is just my second European marathon, even though I have run more than 40 others in the US. The course was well organized, and the marathon is a perfect size to me - not too big and not too small. The start by the yacht harbor is in a quaint town, and the cafes opened early so the runners could sit inside and have a cup of coffee. You easily walk to the start from the bus transportation, which, unlike New York or Boston, is hassle-free and short. The first part of the race mostly follows the coastline and gives glimpses of Omaha, Juno, Gold and Sword Beaches, and some of the monuments. You even get to run over part of the Pegasus Bridge. The crowds were mostly all over the course, except for the part on the Voie Verte (Greenway), and were very kind and cheered us a lot. The course is hillier than I thought it would be, but despite that and not really being in marathon shape, I ran the best time I have run in 10 years. The downside is that the expo is small and there isn't even a t-shirt or hat with the race's name on it to buy. And in the marathon awards, V1 and V2 awards were only given on stage to first place, even though in the 10K and half marathon, 1st, 2nd and 3rd in overall through V3 were given on stage. It would be nice if the marathon got the same respect. Water (no sports drinks), sugar cubes, oranges and bananas were given about every 5K, and in between water stations there were stations with sponges. This was ok in 2010 since it was not too hot for most of the race, but on a hot day that wouldn't be many fluid stations. These are the reasons for my "organization" score. That said, I would definitely do this race again, and hope to do it again next year. If you decide to run this race, take the time to read up a bit on the history of D-Day (Jour-J in France) and the Battle of Normandy.
It's very difficult to find summer marathons in Europe that aren't ultras or extreme in some way. I wanted one as a stepping stone to the NYC Marathon. This was ideal: a well organized, pretty course and plenty of refreshments (bananas and oranges as well as drinks) en route. You couldn't ask much more. The train from Paris is fast and comfortable. But the stations in town are a long way from the race center. So I stayed in the Otelinn Caen Memorial, which is only a few hundred meters from the finish and from where the buses leave for the start of the race - perfect. The race is point-to-point, the buses taking you to the start farther up the coast at Courseulles-Sur-Mer. The journey's quicker than you would imagine as the bus route "cuts the corner" of the race route. Courseulles is a small port/fishing town that smells a little too strongly of poisson! There was a nice area to warm up in, with sufficient toilets (skip the queues and use the traditional hole in the ground variety in the green!), and trucks to leave your bags on. The coastal road tends to be set back from the coast, so you see plenty of old towns but not many sea views. Then you cut back along the river at Ouistreham and follow the riverbank for a few miles before cutting across country and lots of fields. As you finish the race, Caen is not the most inspiring of sites to greet you, but the welcome is friendly enough, and the expo is there for you to join in - unless, like me, you feel sick and just want to sneak off to your hotel for a lie down. The marathon is part of a festival of running. In fact the race itself - although it used to be called the Caen Marathon - is known as Les Courants de La Liberte (there's not even a mention of a marathon in the title). Slightly disappointingly, then, the marathon doesn't appear to be given any more status or respect than the half marathon or the other shorter races. Combined with the small crowds, I found this slightly dispiriting. I struggled to keep my morale up round the course (though the rock music referred to by another runner was an occasional pick-me-up) and ended with a PW! The other minor disappointment was, on returning home, discovering that there were no finishing photos - just a rag bag of shots at various points round the course, which you have to trawl through manually in order to spot yourself. Oh, and no silver blankets at the end - which I think should be standard issue for marathons. Next time I'm taking my own! All in all, though, definitely worth doing if you want a well organized summer marathon on a pretty, not-too-challenging course.
I agree with first author who said, "Interesting, flat, well-organized." Nice point-to-point, with lots of coastline, historical monuments, quiet coastal villages, some farmland, and surprisingly robust fans and bands. It was not too crowded, but not totally deserted, and well-stocked with water, oranges, and bananas. Don't expect any porta-potties on the course. Weather was humid, but cloudy and in the mid-60's. A few words about Caen: I happened to be in Paris for work the week before, and it was an easy two-hour train ride. I stayed downtown in a cheap and clean hotel, which was near a bustling pedestrian area full of cafes and shops, lots of churches/architecture/museums. Warning: the race finish and expo are pretty far from downtown, and you need a car/bus. Once you get there, the shuttle to the start is easy. You could stay near the memorial, but less to do there. No buses were to be found on Sunday, so I took cab there (then walked nearly 4 miles back to hotel after the race). Also, downtown is COMPLETELY shut down and deserted on Sunday, so make sure you have a contingency plan for food (the Normandic food at the end of the race was nice, but there is only so much brie you want to chow after a marathon; there were no open restaurants to be found except across town, so I ended up at Subway). Maybe not as glamorous as races in Switzerland and Barcelona, but overall, a good race to do in France, and overall a worthwhile experience.
After mild weather all week, it warmed up quickly on race day. Organizers provided plenty of water and sponges throughout. I passed 3-4 medical tents along course. Spectators are sparse, but there were cows aplenty. Pros: > reasonable entry fee > good destination race - many monuments nearby > organization was fairly seamless > mid-size race > bands along course were well placed Cons: > the medal reflects low entry fee > the course is same as at other races; buses drop you at the start an hour or more prior to the start > refreshments afterward were a bit sparse > I was unable to locate showers afterward, and there were few English-speaking volunteers to help Overall, this is a good race; it has good sponsors, and the race director knows what he is doing.
The marathon is not as flat as the big-city marathons like Hamburg, Berlin, Cologne.... Even running next to the coast the first 15 KM you cannot see it for most of the time. It was terribly hot and the ambulance had to come more than 200 times.
I ran this marathon 10 years ago, and remember the course to be interesting, flat, and well organized. Half was run alongside the coastline, and it was windy, especially in the morning.

While looking around for container garden solutions, we came across the not so affordable UK "air-pot" design that encourages better root growth than traditional container gardening. Intrigued and still wanting an affordable solution, milk crates came to mind with some sort of liner. Milk Crates seem to be laying around all over the place until you actually start searching for them. Fortunately, we found an inside connection to "borrow" them from for the growing season.
To stay true to the "air-pot" concept we needed the liner to be breathable; landscaping fabric was the obvious choice. A $10 roll of landscaping fabric commonly comes in a 3' x 50' roll which is enough to make 24 milk crate liners. How's that for affordable?
Step 1: Required Tools and Materials
24 - milk crates (washed and sanitized)
1 - roll 50' x 3' landscape fabric
1 - spool all-purpose polyester thread
Measuring Device - Tape / Ruler
Sewing Machine or (Needle, Thread and Patience)
Give extra liners to friends so they can grow on their balconies and then share the bounty!
Step 2: Measure your Milk Crate
If your crate is a different sized adjust the size of your fabric cuts accordingly. The fabric cut dimensions are 1" greater that width and circumference of the crate.
How do you catch water, though? The set up looked great, but, ease of watering is key!
Cut up an old hose, attach a mail end to each and screw into the adapters. Then find a bucket you can lift above the crates for watering. Cut some holes into the bucket to insert the other end of the hose into (toward the bottom obviously), seal with silicone and fill with water.
When you have the bucket above the planters, gravity should take care of it. You may need to refill the bucket but the drip diffusers take a while, so you may want to leave them off and just let the water flow.
We used to do something similar with a large funnel and rubber tubing to water the Christmas tree. Left the end of the tube in the water reservoir and hid the dry funnel behind a big gift box.
I also learned that where space is an issue, you can plant like others would never think of. I've planted root crops (beets and carrots) under my pepper plants. I've planted Corn to shade my delicate herbs. Corn only grows just so high in a container- experiment with it.
This is great though-I never thought of landscape fabric. I've used 5 gal buckets with holes near the bottom. I've used empty cans and bottles to keep the weight down and promote drainage too. miracle grow was also a big boost as well.
Happy Harvest!
You might consider lining your crates with black plastic trash bags (poke holes for drainage) or recycle some empty potting soil bags, etc. instead of the landscape fabric. They won't look as nice but will function better for water retention.
I have found that a much less work intensive container garden is the "Earth box" type of container. You can easily make them yourself out of plastic boxes, buckets, etc. There are plans for them here on Instructables and all over the web. These type of containers hold the water well, are easy to maintain and easy to reuse. Good Instructable tho.
I love the modular design of this. Even though we have a yard where a garden can go in the ground, there might be some real advantages to this. A few could be set on a cart of some sort and moved around to get better sunlight, and they can be put on a frame or table where it would eliminate all the stoop labor.
Many eons ago my dad used to shred newspaper in his chipper/shredder and then till it into the soil to enrich it. Hmm, maybe I should try his trick in my garden, or in my compost bin.
Also, anyone who might want to put a lot of dirt and water on a balcony should consider whether the balcony can take the added weight. Since yours has no door, it may be that the structure wasn't planned to bear any load. Construction codes are a lot more strict in some parts of the world than in others.
The building is 100+ year old greystone hopefully this porch is over engineered since it is made out of stone and weighs probably a 1/2 ton already. So a few more stationary pounds shouldn't matter...
This would be cool combined with the "upside down" planting idea.
I look forward to seeing more air-pot inspiration...

Canada's housing affordability improves in 4th quarter- RBC
- Tweet
- Share this
* Vancouver least affordable, followed by Toronto
* Lower house prices, mortgage rates helping affordability
* Higher rates seen in 2014
TORONTO, Feb 25 (Reuters) - Small declines in home prices and mortgage rates made Canadian home ownership slightly more affordable in the fourth quarter of 2012, the second straight improvement, and soft home buyer demand may help continue the trend in 2013, according to a report by RBC Economics released on Monday.
RBC, Canada's largest bank and a huge mortgage lender, measures affordability as the percentage of monthly pre-tax income for a household needed to cover the typical costs of owning a home, including mortgage payments, utilities and property taxes.
By that measure, the cost of owning a home edged down by 0.2 percentage point to 42.1 percent for a detached bungalow, by 0.3 percentage point to 47.8 percent for a two-story home, and by 0.2 percentage point to 28.0 percent for a condominium, the RBC Housing Affordability index showed.
"Exceptionally low interest rates have been the key factor keeping home affordability from reaching dangerous levels in recent years," RBC chief economist Craig Wright said in a statement.
"Residential property values are elevated in Canada and, for many households, ownership remains accessible only because of rock-bottom mortgage rates. It could be a different story if interest rates were to move swiftly and significantly higher."
While a government move to tighten mortgage lending has helped cool Canada's hot housing market, RBC said it expects the restrictive effects of rule changes to dissipate, helping to offset otherwise subdued housing market activity in 2013.
Under changes that took effect in July, the maximum length of an insured mortgage was shortened to 25 years, and the amount homeowners could borrow with a home equity loan was capped. The changes made it more difficult for homeowners to take on too much debt trying to get into Canada's expensive housing market.
Wright said he expects the Bank of Canada to leave its overnight rate unchanged at 1 percent through 2013 and gradually begin to increase it in 2014. By then, the Canadian economy is expected to be on a stronger footing, offsetting some of the potential negative effects of higher borrowing costs, he said.
Home ownership remained least affordable in Vancouver, but improved, with the benchmark for detached bungalows down 2.6 percentage points from the previous quarter to 82.2 percent.
Affordability also improved in Toronto, with the benchmark down 0.4 percentage point to 52.8 percent. Montreal was down 0.9 percentage point to 39.3 percent, Ottawa was down 0.5 percentage point to 38.8 percent and Edmonton was down 0.1 percentage point to 30.7 percent.
Affordability went down in Calgary, where the benchmark rose 0.2 percentage point to 38.1 percent, the report showed.

Got rocks?
I had this one for sale a couple years ago. It is literally pristine. Sold it to a buddy who never used it, stored inside, and he even got it cleaner than it already was.
I realize I removed the pictures, Ill dig them up from when I had it. $1000 would buy it. I would handle the sale for him as he is super busy, and you probably wouldn't want to have to drive any farther than Goshen IN anyhow.. PM me if interested. EDIT* PICS* Not super helpful, but all I have for the moment.

The official music video for "The Faster the Treadmill" by I Fight Dragons!
The quality got crunched a bit, but you can see an HD version if you go to my profile.
I began work on this shortly after completing Grumatorium, and it was a pretty intense project. The band utilizes a lot of game controllers and NES era material into their music and performances so I approached this video from a similar perspective, starting by designing and animating gameplay from a fictional 8-bit game that the video would take place in.
The result was "the Adventures of Puddlenaut," in which a shark-armed diver hero does battle with deep sea creatures in order to mine mystical power crystals that are abundant in the underwater kingdom. The main grunt enemies, one of which is the protagonist of the video, were modeled after drowned fetuses since I couldn't find any deep sea creatures to fit the image I was looking for. Thus I ended up calling the main character "Fetusaur" throughout production.
Check out the song on I Fight Dragons debut EP "Cool is Just a Number!" More information at: http://www.ifightdragons.

We welcome Pam Gregory as a regular contributor to BfD Journal. In this, the first of several articles that will look at top-bar hives, Pam explains how to get the best out of them. Pam discusses theories that underpin movable-comb beekeeping and how honeycomb is shaped.
The use of a top-bar hive - a form of movable-comb hive - opens up exciting new opportunities for beekeeping management in many parts of the world. Top-bar hives are often promoted as the best way of keeping bees in developing countries; especially by governments or college-educated trainers keen to promote new and seemingly modern ideas for development. However, when visiting practical beekeepers I have noticed the everyday reality is that these hives do not always work well because the people using them have not properly understood either their power or their limitations. This can lead to poor use of the technology, disappointment or failure and sometimes the abandonment of a promising technique.
Although top-bar hives can often look crude, especially if they are made of simple, local materials, the ideas underpinning them are actually very sophisticated. They are based on the vital concept of the bee space. The bee space is at the very heart of the bee's biological programming. Combs are built in a regular manner with clear spaces between them so the bees are able to pass freely around the nest. All the combs are built with the same spacing between them. This space is precise and the bees maintain it carefully. If the bee space is exceeded the bees will fill it with comb (known as brace comb). This simple observation, made so long ago, allowed the development of both movable-comb frame hives and movable-comb top-bar hives.
In northern races of Apis mellifera the bee space is accepted as ranging between 7 and 9 mm. In smaller, tropical bees the space is correspondingly less. In practice it is the distance needed for two worker bees to pass comfortably back-to-back between the comb faces. Knowing this can help when working out hive design specifications. In particular it is essential knowledge to work out the top-bar dimensions. It cannot be emphasised enough that accurately sized top-bars are the key to successful movable-comb beekeeping. If the top-bar size is right the bees will oblige by building one comb from each top-bar. The correct size will vary slightly from place to place depending on the local bee type and ideally should be determined experimentally by measuring local bees and comb. However, in general it is fairly safe to use a top-bar width of 32 mm for African Apis mellifera honeybees, 35 mm for northern Apis mellifera honeybees and 29 mm for the Asian hive bee Apis cerona (although Apis cerana varies greatly in size throughout the region where it occurs, as does Apis mellifera). Notice that this spacing is not the same as the bee space but incorporates both the bee space and the width of the comb to give a measurement that goes from the centre of the first comb to the centre of the next one.
Now let us look at the very particular way honeycombs are shaped if the bees have a free choice. Combs are only attached at the top and not at the edges, which taper to become very thin with a slightly ribbed reinforcement along the edge. This special form is called a catenary curve and describes the wide topped, gentle "U" shape of natural comb. This applies to comb from all species of honeybees. The sloping sides of the standard designs of top-bar hives attempt to reflect this natural catenary shape. This is important as it allows the bee space rule to be observed all down the side of the hive where the comb is built in its natural form, without the constraining influence of a frame. Where a curved comb is built in a square box there is always the possibility that the bees will attach the comb to the side of the box because the bee space has become too large.
It is ideal if beekeepers are able to make their own equipment. This is especially important in areas where beekeeping is being used as a means of improving poor people's livelihoods. If beekeepers make their own top-bar hives it allows them to experiment with the technology at little cost or risk. In practical terms, however, the hardest part is to cut accurate top-bars for the hive. In the absence of a ruler, this can be aided by finding a standard measure so that the top-bar width can be easily checked. An ingenious idea (shown to me in Cameroon) was to use an old rectangular 9V battery. The width of this was exactly 32 mm and it formed a useful measuring tool. If these batteries are not available look around for another common item that is the same size as the width of the top-bar. For instance, I have found a soda or beer bottle top measures 30 mm and with the thickness of a pencil line drawn on either side gives a 32 mm width quite easily with no need for rulers.
Top-bar hives are an efficient beekeeping tool because they allow the same flexibility of management as a frame hive. It is the potential for sophisticated management combined with low costs that makes the top-bar hive ideal in many situations. Top-bar hives can help to improve yields and simplify harvesting without the need for the complicated equipment that has become essential for beekeeping in industrialised countries. There is no management activity that can be done using a frame hive that cannot be done in a top-bar hive, although slightly different techniques may be needed. However, the underlying ideas behind the use of top-bar hives need to be thoroughly understood. It is also most important that beekeepers are quite clear about what exactly they want to achieve before abandoning other tried and tested local and traditional techniques.

I have broken many lever over the years and only in the last few years found ASV levers. I just recently had to have one replaced during warranty period and ASV was totally helpful!
Overall |
This is a high quality product that was easy to install. Function is great and it looks much better than the OE part. A "must-have" item!.
Overall |
best lever i have ever i bought i also purchased the clutch lever. their light weight and make your quad or dirt bike look good
Overall |
We ordered the lever online according to my daughter's specs on her Honda 450 and wound up having to order the plunger attachment also. These levers are suppose to be unbreakable, well the spring will break and leave you with a worthless lever. Going to ARC and saving our money for when the lever breaks.
Overall |
Bought the pair, shorty after install my bike was leaning against the gaurage door when my wife hit the door opener and down the bike went and left only a scratch. A red felt marker fixed that. Now the gaurage door did not do so well!
Overall |
Bought this lever for my Z last year and absolutely love it. Not only does it look way better then the stock lever but the adjustability is incredible, plus these levers are practically indestructible. Definately worth the money.
Overall |
I have fallen on my right side quite a few times since I installed the ASV lever, and it hasn't moved or bent at all. It's expensive, but I'm hoping it pays for itself over the next 5 years of warranty. Only problem I have is that it doesn't come with a rubber boot to help keep the dirt out of the springs and plunger...my 09 CRF 450 boot doesn't fit over it very well at all.
Overall |
This lever is a sick looking lever and works like a dream
Overall |
This brake lever feels well built. Fit my sons DRZ125 like a glove. Super easy to insall. It was actually harder for me to remove the old one then it was to put this one on the bike. The only gripe that I have about this is that it is an ambidexterous lever. It can be used as a brake or clutch lever. When used as a brake lever, the cable stop goes in through the top. Other then that it is a great lever for a rider who is just beginning and falls a lot.
Overall |
these are a great lever, but if you can get the sunline v1 lever to fit your bike, they have a better fit and finish and are a little cheaper. Other than that, I highly recommend these levers.

Several New Jersey college football players are being rewarded for doing the right thing when no one was around – and their good deeds were caught on tape.
Four members of the William Paterson University football team walked into a store Sunday night. The store was actually closed but the lock was broken and the lights were on, making it appear the store was open for business.
As surveillance cameras showed, two of the players left money on the store counter, tax included, for their purchases.
The store manager gave each of the players a $50 gift certificate for their honesty, and NBC's "Today" show had the players on Wednesday morning.
The players told "Today" they at first thought the store being empty was a prank.
"We were scared," said Jelanie Bruce. "The store was creepy with the lights off. Honestly we thought it was a Halloween gag or something."
Anthony Biondi said the reaction has been overwhelming.
"It is just ecstatic knowing that that one good deed blew up nationwide and now everybody's hearing about it," he said.

HEY YOU! Before you review this and talk about the WASSUP thing being played out, please note when this was created. This was made a LONG time ago and was actually the first wassup clip on newgrounds. Sorry about all the others that other people made after mine, there's nothing I can do about that. This isn't some new rip-off, it's the original. Thanks

Although it was the first Wazzup parody on Newgrounds, the thing wasn't that funny in the first place. The photos were edited well enough, and the sound was ok. I just didn't find it that funny...

The Original Wazzup
Nicely done man the quality was actually quite well done for a video with just about no flash work actually done to the 'flash'. The pace and sense of timing was fine for a Wazzup video with some decent comedy in there as well. It was quite good and instantly realisable why this is so often thought of for sparking all the other wazzup videos. You can really see why this is such a great parody very original comedy keep up the great work man I hope to see more Wazzup parodies when I go to check the list of your flash works.
The quality was decent although absolutely no flash was inserted and the photos were a little outstretched making it hard to see what exactly was going on in the video, also I know it's a wazzup parody but a small plot could have been included.
It could use some more effort on getting the photos in place for a more decent commercial type video it's a great wazzup parody with a small replay effect though.
