Passing the purple hat to you:
IN honorof women's history month and in memory of Erma Bombeck who lost her fight with cancer.
Pass this on to five women that you want watched over.
If you don't know five women to pass this on to, one will do just fine.
IF I HAD MY LIFE TO LIVE OVER - by Erma Bombeck
(written after she found out she was dying of cancer).
I would have gone to bed when I was sick instead of pretending the earth would go into a holding pattern if I weren't there for the day.
I would have burned the pink candle sculpted like a rose before it melted in storage.
I would have talked less and listened more.
I would have invited friends over to dinner even if the carpet was stained, or the sofa faded.
I would have eaten the popcorn in the 'good' living room and worried much less about the dirt when someone wanted to light a fire in the fireplace.
I would have taken the time to listen to my grandfather ramble about his youth.
I would never have insisted the car windows be rolled up on a summer day because my hair had just been done.
I would have sat on the lawn and not worried about grass stains.
I would have cried and laughed less while watching television and more while watching life.
I would never have bought anything just because it was practical, wouldn't show soil, or was guaranteed to last a lifetime.
Instead of wishing away nine months of pregnancy, I'd have cherished every moment and realized that the wonderment growing inside me was the only chance in life to assist God in a miracle.
When my kids kissed me impetuously, I would never have said, 'Later. Now go get washed up for dinner.' There would have been more 'I love you's' More 'I'm sorry's.'
But mostly, given another shot at life, I would seize every minute, look at it, and really see it . . live it and never give it back. STOP SWEATING THE SMALL STUFF!!!
Don't worry about who doesn't like you, who has more, or who's doing what
Instead, let's cherish the relationships we have with those who do love us.
If you don't mind, send this on to all the women you are grateful to have as friends.
Maybe we should all grab that purple hat earlier.
Please send this to five phenomenal women today in celebration of Beautiful Women's Month.
If you do, something good will happen--you will boost another woman's self esteem.
These are the colors that represent the different cancers.
All you are asked to do is keep this circulating, even if it's to one more person, in memory of anyone you know who has been struck by cancer.
A Candle Loses Nothing by Lighting Another Candle.
This is a disease which affects all families... no one is exempt!

He then persuaded passers-by to complete the illusion by pretending the gaping hole was real.
'I wanted to play with positives and negatives to encourage people to think twice about everything they see,' he said. 'It was a very scary scene, but when people saw it they had great fun playing on it and pretending to fall into the earth.
'I like to think that later, when they returned home, they might reflect more on

Balconette: Sexy and supportive, these are ideal to wear with low-cut tops or V-necks.
find the perfect: bra
The right bra works wonders: It not only supports and enhances your bust—it actually improves the way clothes look on your body. Here, we go undercover and discover that choosing the best bra for your body is as easy as ABC (and D).
The top of the cup should lie flat. Gapping cups are just as bad as those that runneth over—go down a cup size to fix the former, up to fix the latter.
All the support comes from the band. It should life your breasts, like they're sitting on a shelf.
The underwire gently hugs the breasts. If it digs in, go with a larger cup size.
The straps should feel invisible—no gouging, no shifting. If you have to shorten them significantly to lift your breasts, try a smaller band.
The back of the band should stay put. It shouldn't ride up or bulge out.
Size yourself up. Think you already know your bra size? You may be shocked. Start your search by taking new measurements—and don't assume that department-store salespeople will measure you correctly. Instead, go to a boutique that specializes in bras, like Intimacy (which has stores nationwide) or your local old-school lingerie shop. Or just do it yourself: To measure the band, tightly wrap a tape measure around your ribs, directly under your breasts. Then take a second measurement by wrapping the tape snugly around your back, under your arms and straight across the top of your chest. If the numbers differ, take an average of the two. To measure your cup size, place the tape measure on your sternum, between the breasts, and extend it out over the widest part of the breast to the point where it connects with your rib cage. Four inches is roughly an A-cup; five inches, a B-cup; six inches, a C-cup and so forth. If your breasts differ, go with the larger size.
Don't skip the dressing room. Bra sizes vary from brand to brand, so you really have to try them on. Use our tips beside the illustrations above to make sure you get the best possible fit.
Pour and shake! There is a right way to put on a bra—whether you're in the dressing room or your bedroom. We call it the "pour and shake" method: First put your arms through the straps, then lean forward while holding the sides of the band (or the closures, if it's a front-fastening bra) and let your breasts fall into the cups. Pull the band taut, then stand up and fasten it at the widest setting (if you have a choice), because it will stretch over time. Shake a little, then readjust as needed to settle yourself in. This will ensure that your breasts point outward, not downward, for the perkiest projection.
Don't hate on underwire. If you are a B-cup or bigger, an underwire bra is an absolute must, because it shapes the breasts, provides unbeatable support and slows down sagging. Underwire should comfortably surround the bottom and sides of the breast; if it is painful, go up a cup size. If you're still anti-wire, look for brands like Wacoal, which uses more flexible boning instead of underwire.
Pull a disappearing act. When it comes to materials, silky bras are the most versatile because they're not only smooth (we've all seen a bumpy lace bra under a body-con dress: disaster) but they're also the least likely to catch on your clothing's fabric and make it bunch or wrinkle. We like nylon-based fabrics because they're breathable yet slippery enough to be discreet. Just make sure you buy it in the right color. Which brings us to our next point:
Find your shade of "nude." Much like the peachy crayon formerly known as "flesh," the color "nude" does not translate for everyone. Unless you happen to be stark white or jet black, neither of these hues will disappear under sheer clothing. So if you're going for subtlety, opt for a tone that's closer to your actual skin color. Calvin Klein, Only Hearts, Eres, Wacoal and DKNY all carry a wide range of skin-tone shades. Interestingly, the closest we found to a hue that universally disappears under white or sheer clothing regardless of skin color is a purply beige called Maquillage, created by British lingerie brand Bodas. It's pretty miraculous.
Going strapless? Go smaller. Strapless bras play by their own set of rules. Lacking shoulder supports, they need to fit extra snugly so your breasts don't sag (or, worse, come flying out at an inopportune moment). For most women, the trick is to buy one cup size smaller than your normal bra size. Look for a strapless bra with underwire, a wide band and a defined space between the cups to separate your breasts—unless you want to become known as the Uni-Boober.

Probing Materials with X-Ray Vision |
Portrait of Gaultois by Scott Bell for the U of S (top), photo of Gaultois with the Governor General Courtesy the U of S (bottom) |
By Lisa Johnson
For Michael Gaultois, the bright lights of his native Alberta couldn�t compete with the Canadian Light Source synchrotron and its promise to help him reveal the secrets of advanced materials.
�Michael�s work will help scientists from many fields understand how to engineer ground-breaking materials,� says chemistry professor Andrew Grosvenor, Gaultois� supervisor.
For instance, the University of Saskatchewan master�s student will help develop new ceramics for more efficient fuel cells, semi-conductor devices for faster computers, anti-reflection coatings for eyeglasses, and materials to quarantine nuclear waste.�
�We�re not interested in fuel cells or computer chips per se,� said Gaultois who moved here from Edmonton to use the synchrotron at U of S. �We want to find the best techniques for characterizing materials, which engineers will then tailor for practical uses.�
Gaultois is one of only 24 students in Canada awarded the 2010 Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) Julie Payette research scholarship. The $25,000 scholarship, named for the first Canadian astronaut to board the International Space Station, is given to students who show immense research ability and potential.
�Michael has a lot of questions, and he doesn�t sit around waiting for the answer,� Grosvenor says.
He has presented research at conferences in Vancouver and New Hampshire and gone on two research trips to the Argonne National Lab�s Advanced Photon Source outside Chicago.
Gaultois had a chance to explain his research to Governor General Micha�lle Jean in her native French when she toured the synchrotron in August.
�It was a short chat, but it still felt meaningful to talk with someone who is so incredibly engaging.�
He uses the synchrotron to better understand chemical compounds by measuring the �spectra��the energy given off or absorbed by material when X-ray light is focused on it.
�If you understand the spectra, you understand the material,� Grosvenor says.�
�Michael�s results have really stirred up interest because they will help scientists analyzing materials better understand how atoms influence each other and why spectral energies change.�
Gaultois says we all use spectroscopy whether we know it or not.
�Even your eyes are like mini spectrometers,� he says. �They interpret visible light, and make a picture for your brain.�
�The CLS synchrotron is just spectroscopy on a bigger scale. It gives you the feeling you have all of science at your command, especially when you consider that hundreds of millions of dollars worth of equipment and oodles of devices are harnessing the particles zooming past you at near the speed of light.��
His research aims to describe what happens inside a solid chemical compound when the elements around it are changed. He�s investigating how chemical elements �get along when they hang out.�
While most chemists make solutions at 78 to 100 degrees C, Gaultois uses grinders, anvils, and torches to study materials formed at temperatures between 1,100 and 1,500 degrees C. Containing reactions at these temperatures isn�t easy, so they are often done in ceramic cups or in quartz glassware molded in the lab.
�Chemistry is beautiful,� says Gaultois, who plans to go on to doctoral research.
�With just a little bit of chemical understanding, we can explain an incredible number of things�from how soap works, to how we process gasoline�things that can benefit us all in a big way,� he says.
Lisa Johnson is a graduate student intern for the U of S research communications office.

In addition to its shinny appearance what other benefits does chrome plating does?
1 Answer | add yours
Best answer as selected by question asker.
Chromium is an element. Objects are not normally made of chromium, but may be Chrome plated (covered with a thin layer of Chromium).
Chrome plating requires high concentrations of Chromic Acid, a potent carcinogen with vast environmental pollution potential. Many cities prohibit chrome-plating operations within their boundaries.
Chrome plating can be applied to steel, stainless steel, copper, aluminum and even plastics.
Here are the advantages of Chrome Plating:
-Decorative: Chrome plating produces the brightest surface short of mirrored glass, hence is used in ornamentation of automobiles and motorcycles.
-Rust Prevention
-Wear resistance for plastics
-Provides electrical conductivity for plastics
-Resists Tarnishing
-Resists Corrosion

U.S. Women's Soccer prepares for Women's World Cup semifinal against France
MOENCHENGLADBACH, Germany (AP) — The players on the U.S. women's soccer team feel just fine, thank you, not tired a bit. The high they were on after that epic Brazil game? That's so yesterday.
The Americans are one game away from reaching their first World Cup final since 1999 — which also happens to be the last time they won soccer's biggest prize. The only thing on their minds now is beating France.
Abby Wambach says losing "is not an option." The U.S. wants to win its third World Cup, and France is "standing in our way."
Unlike the Americans, who have reached the semifinals at each of the six World Cups, this will be the first trip for Les Bleues. They've never beaten the Americans, either, going 0-11-1 in their previous meetings. The U.S. has scored 38 goals in the 12 previous games to just eight for France.

Troy Allen Pelish
February 12, 2012
Troy Allen Pelish, age 19, died on February 12, 2012. A valedictorian of William Byrd High School's class of 2011, Troy earned national recognition for his performance on the National German and Latin exams, he competed on the school's championship-winning Academic Team, and he was honored to study at the Governor's German Academy in the summer of 2010. Troy's love of the outdoorsespecially hiking in the rainled to his success as a member of the Order of the Arrow and an Eagle Scout. He entered the College of William and Mary as a freshman in the fall of 2011 majoring in Chemistry with a minor in German. Troy was greatly loved and was a good leader, friend, brother, and son whose absence leaves a large void in the hearts of many. Left to cherish his memory are his parents, Bruce and Martha Pelish, and his two brothers, Kendall and Clint Pelish, all of Vinton, Va.; his grandfathers John Pelish of Stephens City, Va., and Charles Baughan of Vinton; his aunts and uncles Tammie Pelish and husband Wesley Beamer of Ann Arbor, Mi., Pete Pelish of North Huntington, Pa., Paul Pelish of Boyce, Va., Linda Bosserman and husband Gary Bosserman, and Steve Baughan and wife Marcia Baughan of Silver Spring, Md.; his cousins Elizabeth Pelish, Teal Pelish, Stephen Baughan, Katie Baughan, Allison Baughan, Lauren Baughan, and Brian Bosserman; and his fabulous friend and roommate, Tyler Callahan. He was predeceased by his grandmothers, Mary Pelish and Genevieve Baughan. The family of Troy Pelish would like to thank their friends and family as well as their church family for their amazing support of love, tears, and prayers during this very difficult time. A special note of love and thanks to Troy's aunt Linda Bosserman for her selfless love and support. You are wonderful. Finally, we would like to thank God for His grace: He has sustained us and will continue to do so in the tough days ahead. The family wishes that everyone who reads this obituary would greatly cherish those whom they love; you never know when their last day on earth will be.

Amphipathic Lipid Packing Sensor Motifs: Probing Bilayer Defects with Hydrophobic Residues Biophysical Journal, Volume 104, Issue 3, 5 February 2013, Pages 575-584 Stefano Vanni, Lydie Vamparys, Romain Gautier, Guillaume Drin, Catherine Etchebest, Patrick F.J. Fuchs and Bruno Antonny Abstract Sensing membrane curvature allows fine-tuning of complex reactions that occur at the surface of membrane-bound organelles. One of the most sensitive membrane curvature sensors, the Amphipathic Lipid Packing Sensor (ALPS) motif, does not seem to recognize the curved surface geometry of membranes per se; rather, it recognizes defects in lipid packing that arise from membrane bending. In a companion paper, we show that these defects can be mimicked by introducing conical lipids in a flat lipid bilayer, in agreement with experimental observations. Here, we use molecular-dynamics (MD) simulations to characterize ALPS binding to such lipid bilayers. The ALPS motif recognizes lipid-packing defects by a conserved mechanism: peptide partitioning is driven by the insertion of hydrophobic residues into large packing defects that are preformed in the bilayer. This insertion induces only minor modifications in the statistical distribution of the free packing defects. ALPS insertion is severely hampered when monounsaturated lipids are replaced by saturated lipids, leading to a decrease in packing defects. We propose that the hypersensitivity of ALPS motifs to lipid packing defects results from the repetitive use of hydrophobic insertions along the monotonous ALPS sequence.

The Effects of Acyl Chain Length and Saturation of Diacylglycerols and Phosphatidylcholines on Membrane Monolayer Curvature Biophysical Journal, Volume 83, Issue 2, 1 August 2002, Pages 977-984 Joseph A. Szule, Nola L. Fuller and R. Peter Rand Abstract The second messenger, diacylglycerol (DAG), introduces negative curvature in phospholipid monolayers and strongly induces the lamellar (Lα) to reverse hexagonal (HII) phase transition. The chain lengths and degree of unsaturation of symmetric DAGs influence this effect. Within dioleoylphosphatidylcholine (DOPC) monolayers, the apparent spontaneous radius of curvature (R0) of the short, saturated dicaprylglycerol (C10-DCG) itself was determined to be −13.3Å, compared with an R0 value of −10.1Å for the long, di-monounsaturated dioleoylglycerol (C18-DOG). Such increased length and unsaturation of the DAG acyl chains produces this small change. Di-saturated phosphatidylcholines (PCs) with equal length chains (from C10-C18) with 25mol % DOG do not form the HII phase, even under the unstressed conditions of excess water and alkane. Di-unsaturated PCs with equal chain length (from C14-C18) with 25mol % DOG do form the HII phase. Asymmetric chained PCs (position 1 saturated with varying lengths, position 2 differentially unsaturated with varying lengths) all form the HII phase in the presence of 25mol % DOG. As a general rule for PCs, their unsaturation is critical for the induction of the HII phase by DOG. The degree of curvature stress induced by the second messenger DOG in membranes, and any protein that might be affected by it, would appear to depend on chain unsaturation of neighboring PCs.

Conical Epidermal Cells Allow Bees to Grip Flowers and Increase Foraging Efficiency Current Biology, Volume 19, Issue 11, 9 June 2009, Pages 948-953 Heather M. Whitney, Lars Chittka, Toby J.A. Bruce and Beverley J. Glover Summary The plant surface is by default flat, and development away from this default is thought to have some function of evolutionary advantage. Although the functions of many plant epidermal cells have been described, the function of conical epidermal cells, a defining feature of petals in the majority of insect-pollinated flowers, has not [1,2]. The location and frequency of conical cells have led to speculation that they play a role in attracting animal pollinators [1,3,4]. Snapdragon (Antirrhinum) mutants lacking conical cells have been shown to be discriminated against by foraging bumblebees [4]. Here we investigated the extent to which a difference in petal surface structure influences pollinator behavior through touch-based discrimination. To isolate touch-based responses, we used both biomimetic replicas of petal surfaces and isogenic Antirrhinum lines differing only in petal epidermal cell shape. We show that foraging bumblebees are able to discriminate between different surfaces via tactile cues alone. We find that bumblebees use color cues to discriminate against flowers that lack conical cells—but only when flower surfaces are presented at steep angles, making them difficult to manipulate. This facilitation of physical handling is a likely explanation for the prevalence of conical epidermal petal cells in most flowering plants. Summary | Full Text | PDF (557 kb) |

In biological membranes, changes in lipid composition or mechanical deformations produce defects in the geometrical arrangement of lipids, thus allowing the adsorption of certain peripheral proteins. Here, we perform molecular dynamics simulations on bilayers containing a cylindrical lipid (PC) and a conical lipid (DOG). Profiles of atomic density and lateral pressure across the bilayer show differences in the acyl chain region due to deeper partitioning of DOG compared to PC. However, such analyses are less informative for the interfacial region where peripheral proteins adsorb. To circumvent this limitation, we develop, to our knowledge, a new method of membrane surface analysis. This method allows the identification of chemical defects, where hydrocarbon chains are accessible to the solvent, and geometrical defects, i.e., voids deeper than the glycerol backbone. The size and number of both types of defects increase with the number of monounsaturated acyl chains in PC and with the introduction of DOG, although the defects do not colocalize with the conical lipid. Interestingly, the size and probability of the defects promoted by DOG resemble those induced by positive curvature, thus explaining why conical lipids and positive curvature can both drive the adsorption of peripheral proteins that use hydrophobic residues as membrane anchors.

text: The rapid development of international trade and information technologies makes it increasingly important for lawyers to understand the international aspects of practicing international property law, particularly copyrights, trademarks and patents. Books, music and movies uploaded on the Internet are instantaneously available around the globe. Many modern products (e.g. computers, televisions and phones) involving multiple patents and trademarks are developed in one country, assembled in another county, and marketed worldwide. Intellectual property clients often need to engage in international licensing transactions, and enforce their rights against foreign parties domestically or overseas. This course will provide a survey of cross-border legal issues that lawyers are generally faced with counseling clients on intellectual property and international trade. The course will introduce the basic contours of international principles, treaties and institutions regarding intellectual property, including significant substantive and procedural differences between the United States and other countries of the world.

January 14, 2013 2:26 pm | by Dee-Ann Durbin, Tom Krisher, AP Auto Writers | News | CommentsFord thinks the luxury car market is missing something.

January 14, 2013 2:24 pm | by Michael Liedtke, Ryan Nakashima, AP Business Writers | News | CommentsMicrosoft may have relinquished its starring role in America's gaudiest gadget show a year too early.

Just 12 feet long and with an aerodynamic front end and abruptly chopped-off rear, the South Korean-built Spark could pass for an electric car. But there's no plug and no problem with fueling the 2013 version of this Chevrolet, because it comes with a gasoline-sipping, internal combustion, four-cylinder engine.

Immune Support Kit
Back to Cancer overview
Step 1: Nutritional Supplements that Support Immune Function and have Cancer Fighting Properties
Clinical studies indicate a number of natural supplements that effectively boost the immune system and have anti-cancer properties. In step 1 of our plan we include the best of the best.
For centuries certain strains of mushrooms have been used in parts of Asia as a disease remedy and health support. Recent western studies support their benefits and cancer fighting properties.
Their findings include the following about medicinal mushrooms:
Mushroom compounds appear to reduce the adverse effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
They are useful for cancer patients due to the enhancement of cell-mediated immunity, oxygen free radical scavenging and support for cellular bioenergy systems.
Compounds demonstrate both high anti-tumor activity and restriction of tumor metastasis.
Significantly enhances the immune system.
Safe taken over long periods of time.
Among the most extensively studied medicinal mushrooms are Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum), Shiitake (Lentinula edodes) and Cordyceps. These three super mushrooms are part of a proprietary blend of over 200 immuno-modulators contained in K-9 Immunity. K-9 Immunity is the most respected and best documented anti-cancer supplement for pets on the market today. These medicinal mushrooms should be a part of any cancer fighting protocol. They are organically grown and certified pesticide free.
Transfer factors are immune regulating compounds that have the unique ability of speeding up the immune reaction (as is needed in cancer treatment). The small protein molecules in K9 Transfer Factor bind to the immune modulator compounds in K9 Immunity and bridge the gap to the immune cell receptors. This significantly enhances the absorption and effectiveness of the K9 Immunity product and generally leads to a quicker and more positive outcome in cancer treatment.
Fish oils are also an important part of the immune supporting, anti-cancer protocol. The long chain fatty acids, found in the highest concentrations in fish oils, have long been hailed for their cancer inhibiting qualities. Research now suggests that adding fish oils to your support regimen can have various benefits ranging from immune support, combating weight loss in cancer patients, increasing energy and improving survival rates.
Our special salmon oil comes from 100% wild salmon, not farmed sources. Wild salmon has higher levels of beneficial omega-3 and lower levels of saturated fats.

Essential Immune Support Kit
Step 2: Proper Diet - the right balance of protein, fats and carbohydrates is crucial
Cancer causes metabolic changes in your dog's body, which require a modification in diet. Unfortunately most commercial diets are inappropriate for dogs with cancer. This is due to the following:
Most commercial diets contain meat by-products, which are higher in hormones that can stimulate cancer growth.
The ratio of proteins, fats and carbohydrates is inappropriate for cancer support.
Preservatives like BHT and BHA have been linked to various health problems in pets and should be avoided.
The best option for a dog with cancer is a homemade diet. This allows you to eliminate simple carbohydrates like white rice, potatoes and processed grains. The homemade diet should consist of 75% meats and 25% vegetables - mainly green ones like sprouts, broccoli, spinach, celery, etc. Fruits and sweet vegetables like peas, sweet potatoes and beets should be avoided. Evidence also suggests that cancer is inhibited by a high fat diet. You can add more fat to your dog's diet by adding more fish oil, which has additional benefits.
When switching to a homemade diet, be sure to do it slowly to avoid stomach upset. Always supplement a homemade diet with a high quality whole food supplement like
If a completely homemade diet is impractical, look for a high quality canned food that lists meat as the first ingredient, does not contain by-products or meals and does not use potentially harmful preservatives like BHA or BHT. With the canned food as a base, add some high quality meats, poultry, canned sardines or eggs along with some of the fresh vegetables listed above. Vegetables can be added raw after pulverizing in a food processor or steamed.
Note that some kinds of cancer, kidney cancer as an example, contraindicate a high protein diet, so it is always best to check with your veterinarian about the appropriate diet for your dog's situation.
Step 3: Lifestyle Considerations for the Dog with Cancer
Stress Reduction
In an attempt to deal with stress, the body produces a variety of chemicals, one of the most important being a type of natural cortisone. This is actually a calming substance that is effective in helping the body deal with short term stresses. However during prolonged periods of stress the perpetual production of such chemicals can overload the system and create other problems such as decreased immune efficiency. This can have negative ramifications for a healthy dog, but it can be disastrous for a dog dealing with cancer.
There is a great deal you can do to reduce the stress in your dog's environment like maintaining a consistent routine, regular exercise, creating a safe retreat, etc.
With excitable, high-strung breeds or in certain unavoidable situations you may need a little extra support. A calming mist diffuser can help.
Nutri-Vet Pet-Ease Natural Calming Mist for Dogs
provides a natural calming scent that offers relief during times of high stress or even day-to-day living. It contains essential oils - not extracts - of herbs that serve as calming agents, mood elevators and personality modulators. The calming mist diffuser offers a natural solution that is non-toxic and non-addicting.
Other Considerations
No vaccines.
Never vaccinate a dog with cancer. Vaccinations can overload their compromised immune system and lead to serious health ramifications.
Pain management.
Advanced cases of cancer can be accompanied by pain. Work closely with your veterinarian to make sure your dog's pain is properly managed. Allowing your dog to remain in pain is inhumane and the stress of dealing with pain further compromises the immune system.
Home exams.
In many cases the first sign that cancer has come out of remission is enlarged lymph nodes. Ask your veterinarian to show you how to do a home exam of the lymph nodes and perform the check weekly.
At home testing.
Dogs with cancer often encounter other health problems. Kidney or liver disease and urinary tract infections are among the most common. With ThePetCheckup you can routinely check for these and other complications in the comfort of your own home. It means less stress for your pet, lower vet bills for you and greater peace of mind.
Addressing all of the issues that impact your dog's immune system is vital for their longevity and quality of life. By implementing the 3-step wellness and support plan today you give your dog the best advantage for the future.

Customer Reviews for Oceanic EOS MaxFlex Regulator with Dry Valve Technology: See the top 20 most helpful scuba gear reviews
Average Customer Review: based on 7 reviews. Rating: breath easy and dive like its not even there. Reviewer: James W., - View all my reviews We all used the older FDX 10 model (2nd stage is bigger) and slowly but surely all 4 of us have made the switch to the EOS. I highly recommend it. It is supper smooth and breathes easily down twice deep as recreation depths. This is my our first review on it. It is a great REG and this one Ibought now is a gift for my aunt. If you are a must upgrade buff, the only improvement I can even recommend is a custom mouth piece and a easyflex metal hose. Did this Review help? No Yes 57 out of 110 people found this review helpful. Rating: Oceani EOS Max Flex Regs Reviewer: Martial G., - View all my reviews I have only used the regs a few times now but I am very happy with my purchase. The only thing you have to remember is to face the mouth piece down when you take it out of your mouth when it is in the dive mode. In pre-dive it wont do this and the reg works fine in both modes. A small thing that would be nice would be to have little longer hose. Other than that it was effortless breathing and the finish is very nice. Did this Review help? No Yes 56 out of 114 people found this review helpful. Rating: Awesome Regulator Reviewer: yoke g., i wanted the best regulator and oceanic eos delivered it all. the regulator was small, easy to handle and breathing was effortless at all depths (recreational diving depths). large front purge button makes it easy to clear water and the mouth piece was very comfortable. the air flow adjustor worked flawlessly. being one of the most important pieces of scuba equipment, the best primary stage regulator was what i wanted and the oceanic eos met all my expectations and more. i definitely recommend it!

Average Customer Review: based on 7 reviews.
For over 30 years, Oceanic's R&D group has taken advantage of new materials, development of rapid prototyping, advanced computer aided design systems, objective testing, and lots of open water dives in an effort to develop a regulator with the lowest measurable inhalation effort in order to provide air to a diver at the extremes of human capacity.
When engineering brought the near complete EOS in for conformational testing the results were so astounding, the laboratory stopped testing and performed a complete calibration of all instruments, and in re-testing the EOS was found to have a near effortless inhalation resistive effort on test after test. Perfect.
Comprised of precision-machined components and extensive research and design, the EOS regulator has achieved an incredible feat…lifelike breathing. Oceanic's gifted team of design engineers has included effortless breathing, inhalation effort adjustments, and comfortable second stage swivels and orthodontic mouthpieces into a regulator that you can hold in the palm of your hand. This is far more than just another regulator in the eyes of the Oceanic team, this is a dream come true.
Pneumatically balanced second stage with virtually no breathing effortDiver adjustable inhalation effortPatented Dynamic Adjustment automatically maintains inhalation effort throughout the diveErgonomic Adjustable Venturi Switch (A.V.S.) for simple Dive/Pre-Dive AdjustmentInline swivel for reduced jaw fatigue and comfortPaired with the rugged FDX-10 Over-Balanced Diaphragm First Stage available with DVT (Dry Valve Technology)
Dry Valve Technology (DVT)
DVT is a revolutionary regulator technology designed to automatically eliminate moisture and contaminants from entering your first stage, even if the dust cap is accidentally left off.
DVT eliminates corrosion of critical internal components, bacteria, hose deterioration, and damaged gauges and computers.
Pneumatically Balanced Valve.The pneumatically balanced second stage reduces breathing resistance to near zero with a balanced valve seat designed to respond to the slightest inhalation.
A pneumatically balanced second stage actually has (or can have) the same initial crack opening effort as a mechanically balanced, but the spring force of a pneumatically balanced second stage is lighter so it's spring rate is also lower. Therefore the force required to open the valve farther as flow increases is less than that required for a mechanically balanced second stage with a higher rate spring. So the total effort to breathe the pneumatically balanced second stage is indeed less.
The spring force must be just enough to overcome the difference between downstream air pressure and upstream balance chamber pressure.
The downstream air travels through a hole in the poppet into the balance chamber and applies an 'upstream' force just slightly less than the downstream force.
Diver Adjustable Inhalation Effort.Most downstream demand valve regulators are calibrated during manufacturing to a single, 'middle of the road' operation. Whether finning up current at 100+ feet or merely snorkeling out to the dive site, this factory adjustment may not be optimum for the wide variety of demands we place on our equipment. A simple twist of the adjustment knob enables complete control... Set the inhalation requirement to near zero when you need ultimate performance, or tune it for greater resistance as conditions or preferences change.
Patented Dynamic Adjustment.A common objection to adjustable second stages is that divers can't imagine themselves twisting and turning a knob as they descend and ascend through the depths. If inhalation resistance is set near zero at depth, your ascent would require you to manually increase resistance as ambient water pressure is reduced to prevent free-flow. Taking another stride beyond common second stage engineering, Oceanic designed a patented DYNAMIC ADJUSTMENT feature into the heart of the EOS. This mechanically balanced valve maintains your preferred breathing resistance throughout the dive. Set it once and the EOS automatically adjusts to make breathing as easy at 100 feet as it is at 30 feet - with no additional manual adjustment.
Ergonomic A.V.S. (Adjustable Venturi System) Dive/Pre-Dive Switch.Designed to be unobtrusive, yet easily manipulated even with the thickest gloves, the A.V.S. deflector vane found in the EOS either diverts airflow from the valve to the mouthpiece, producing effortless venturi-assisted inhalation or creates enough resistance to prevent free flow on the surface.
Inline Swivel.Ever notice that nearly every picture you see of a diver, their regulator looks like it's not the least bit comfortable? The EOS features an ergonomically designed in-line swivel for ultimate comfort.
Computer Optimized Design.The EOS was designed using the latest 3-D computer modeling techniques. This allows us the ability to model and test performance while still in the early stages of development. The EOS's unique valve, deflector vane and housing design directs airflow from the valve directly to the mouthpiece, producing nearly effortless venturi-assisted inhalation.
Patented Orthodontic Mouthpiece with High-Density Bite Tabs.To further reduce jaw fatigue, the EOS features a patented Orthodontic Mouthpiece, designed to accommodate the natural overbite of the human jaw.
Nitrox Compatible.The EOS | FDX-10 is classified as being suitable for use with Nitrox breathing gas mixtures containing up to 40% oxygen by volume without the need for special preparation, cleaning or component parts.
FDX-10 Over-Balanced Diaphragm First Stage.The Forged from marine-grade brass, the FDX-10 features optimized air paths and angled hose ports for superior performance and comfort. A sealed Balanced Diaphragm design, Enviro Kit and patented DVT (Dry Valve Technology) isolate all internal components from the environment. 2 high pressure and 4 low pressure ports allow convenient and comfortable hose routing.
The FDX-10 high performance over-balanced first stage provides progressively greater intermediate pressure as depth and gas density increases. The center "pads" that the diaphragms act against are different sizes so the working area of the outer environmental diaphragm is larger than the working area of the inner diaphragm. As depth increases, more pressure is applied to the larger surface area of the outer diaphragm than would be applied to the internal diaphragm. The result is superior gas delivery under the most extreme conditions.
DVT (Dry Valve Technology)Ever wonder why they call it a 'dust cap' and not a water cap? Most dust caps are not designed to keep water from entering your first stage. Regardless of how carefully you may maintain your regulator, water entry is a much more common problem than most divers realize.
DVT is a revolutionary regulator technology designed to automatically eliminate moisture and contaminants from entering your first stage, even if the dust cap is accidentally left off. DVT eliminates corrosion of critical internal components, bacteria, hose deterioration, and damaged gauges and computers.

Hello guys. I'm new to the armor games community. My name is Nelson. I have been looking forward to Raze 3, but I haven't seen any progress. Some really weird stuff has been going on with the Raze series. Lately, Raze 1 has been glitching, and I've been falling into an endless void. I noticed that Raze 2 doesn't have the support the developers thingy-majigger anymore. What happened? Also, as I was surfing the internet, I saw a rumor that one of the developers of Raze had died of cancer. Is this true? Plz say no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've always wished that Raze could be in a first person viewpoint. So, I want to get approval to start a new project, called Raze 3D. If my friends and I can continue the project, it will be a retelling of the original raze, just in a first person viewpoint. Planned features: 3D models (.md3,.md2) Large 3D maps suitable for a first-person shooter First Person and Chasecam view options Remixed Music Advanced Bot AI Ragdoll Physics Reloading Online Mutlitplayer w/ the ability to chat to other players People can create their own servers and have passwords on them Command Console (we don't want people to use it to cheat though!!!!!!) offline and maybe someday in-browser play Regular Updates
The game will be completely free, so we will not be gaining any financial benefits from it. For the game, we will be using the Zandronum(An advanced source port of Doom, no, the game will not resemble the original Doom in any way) engine for offline play and hopefully, we can find a way to get the game in Adobe Shockwave so that people can play it in their browser. I will be making the remixed music, the maps, the cheat codes and the definitons for the game.
So, please tell me whether or not my friends and I can continue! If we can continue, anyone is free to join the project, as we will need as many people as we can to help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why don't you and your group just make their own game instead of doing a re-make?
If you have the resources, it would be much better to come up with your own story, mechanics, and aesthetics. You're going to come to the realization of one or two things:
You're either going to make so many changes to Raze that its not even going to be Raze anymore. Or, you're going to just be making the exact same thing....
What do you mean Raze 1 is glitching? I don't get that? Maybe you need to update your Flash? Maybe your GFX card too. Clear your cookies, and cache.
Why you are seeking approval here? Shouldn't you be directly contacting the people you want instead of trying to play the telephone game. I highly doubt a lot of these Flash game developers even look through these forums. Most times they make a game, pitch it to a site, and you'll see the same game on 50 different gaming sites.
Again, if you have the resources and a crew to make a game, you should just make your own game. Don't rip something you love apart by changing it entirely or by little bits.

Community-based Kangaroo Mother Care to Prevent Neonatal and Infant Mortality
Council researchers measured the effect of community-based kangaroo mother care on neonatal and infant survival as well as birth intervals associated with neonatal and infant survival.
Working with Columbia University, Bangladesh Rural Advancement Committee (BRAC), and Mitra and Associates, researchers with the Council's FRONTIERS program tested the effectiveness and costs of community-based kangaroo mother care (CKMC) implemented by piggybacking CKMC instruction onto an existing community-based program. Kangaroo mother care (KMC) is a method for care of stable preterm or low-birth-weight infants who need thermal protection, adequate feeding, frequent observation, and protection from infection. This project measured the effect of CKMC on neonatal and infant survival as well as birth intervals associated with neonatal and infant survival.
Project staff adapted KMC for community-based implementation in a manner that does not require birth weight or clinical judgment, as measurement of birth weight is not routine in home deliveries in resource-poor countries. To deliver CKMC in a feasible, replicable manner, FRONTIERS researchers elected to train a single category of existing community-based workers who serve approximately one-third of Bangladesh.
This study is the first to demonstrate the impact of CKMC on newborn and infant survival and on subsequent pregnancy. The results demonstrate a strong, statistically significant, biologically and temporally plausible lower neonatal mortality. However, further experimental evaluation ensuring baseline similarity of study groups and complete, reliable assessment of birth weight is necessary to determine whether CKMC improves survival. CKMC training or taking CKMC to scale at this time is ill-advised before establishing its benefits and optimal methods of implementation.

We saw lots of Romney signs on the way to Romney, W.Va., but they were all in the Old Dominion. Once we crossed the line into the breakaway state to the west, poof. We drove for miles through woodsy, hilly Hampshire County, reading plugs for "Alkire for Sheriff" and "Rowan for Congress," but not a presidential placard in sight. Until Romney, when we spotted a sign on a lawn at the edge of town.
For Obama.
Now that's irony for you. You'd think if there were one burg in the Mountain State that ought to be all-out for the Republican candidate, it would be the one that bears his very name.
That's what I figured, anyway, which is why we set off on a pretty fall day's drive into the West Virginia panhandle, scooting along winding roads lined with yellow buttercups and purple asters growing wild among the grasses. What a fun reason to go away for the weekend, visit the country, see what gives with this town with the nomenclative coincidence.
Well. Shortly after we walk into the Courthouse Corner Cafe on Main Street, it becomes clear that I'm not the only one who was hit with this bright idea. The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and Washington's WUSA have been here days before, quizzing the folks about their politics.
"They were looking for controversy," says Chuck Johnson, who runs the cafe with his wife, Jeanne. (He serves, she does the cooking. And I can vouch highly for the BLT in a sourdough wrap. Also the welcoming funkiness of the storefront eatery, with its sprinkling of tables and the couch in the corner, where you can peruse the newspaper or tap into the free WiFi.) "But there's no controversy here. We all get along, Republicans and Democrats."
Of course, I'm not looking for controversy. I'm looking for what makes Romney tick - the town, I mean, not the man.
This hamlet of about 2,000 in the Potomac Highlands of West Virginia is the seat of Hampshire County and the oldest city (in the oldest county) in the state, chartered Dec. 23, 1762 - 250th birthday this year! Probably explains the fancy banners on the light poles all along Main Street. As for the name - well, naturally nothing to do with Mr. Mitt. The moniker is in honor of the town of New Romney, England, bestowed upon the new city by Lord Fairfax, the big kahuna landowner in these parts back in the 18th century.
Some of this info I'm picking up from a pair of historical markers outside the imposing Hampshire County Courthouse across the street from the cafe. The markers also inform me that Romney, sitting astride a "natural invasion route" between the Shenandoah Valley and the Potomac, was "scourged by both armies" during the Civil War. Hmm, that's a bit like Mitt, no? He's been attacked from left and right, the Obama camp and nervous Nellies in his own party. Seems he and the town do have something in common.
But listen to this: The markers also say that during the war, the town changed hands between North and South 56 times! Wow, that's amazing. (Later I read that it may only have been about 10 times, depending on what you consider an "occupation." Oh, well.) Up a ways, past the Democratic Party headquarters on the north side of Main Street and its GOP rival on the south (which some folks might find appropriate), is Boxwood, the house where all these changeovers supposedly took place. There's no trace of the big elm in the front yard that shaded those truces, and the house itself stands empty, with a "For Sale" sign on the lawn. It's a little sad.
