Customer Reviews for Ocean Technology Mantis Full Face Mask: See the top 20 most helpful scuba gear reviews
Average Customer Review: based on 17 reviews. Rating: Very comfortable Reviewer: Tom Adams, I got this mask due to jaw fatigue and a desire to breath through the nose and, I am happy with the results. It fits on my face well and is easy to put on and take off both out of the water and in the water. My diving is so much more enjoyable now. Nice not to have to worry about fogging either - no spit required to have clear lenses. I did not get the surface air valve and will be ordering it soon as on a boat dive it could save some air even though I did not notice a real change in the consumption. My bottom time was about the same - probably because my breathing is more relaxed and comfortable. Bottom line - great mask for those who have discomfort holding a regulator in your mouth. Did this Review help? No Yes 8 out of 11 people found this review helpful. Rating: Mantis Full Face Mask Reviewer: Dennis Jameson, Bought this mask for the safety of the 5 strap. I gold dredge in swift moving rivers and the cheaper 3 strap full face masks leak water and are easily swept off your face. The Mantis performed flawlessly in extremely fast water. Did this Review help? No Yes 9 out of 15 people found this review helpful. Rating: Mantis Full Face Scuba Dive Mask Clear Reviewer: JOHN M., what a wonderful product. i have dentures and worry about losing my regulator, not any more. the installation of my regulator was easy, less than ten minutes. it took just a little time to learn that i could breath through my nose. im very comfortable in the water but the security afforded by the mask and the breathing through my nose has added another level. this comfort is really important on a deep or complex dive. the mask is comfortable to wear, and seals well even though i have a beard. i mostly dive from a boat, and do not use a snorkel, i use very little air on a a shore dive getting out to the spot, so no problem there for me. for the price and quality i would recommend this to any diver. a very good product. Did this Review help? No Yes 64 out of 120 people found this review helpful. Rating: Mantis Mask Reviewer: Nathan Blakeslee, I love that it comes from a name-brand manufacturer (OTS). Great product for the cost without heavy maintenance. I purchased to dive and clean boats with- donning is quick and easy. I also have little fear about straps breaking down because of the snap buckles- Encourage other to also purchase the clear masks so you can watch for possible mold issues or contaminates. Spend the extra money for this mask. Did this Review help? No Yes 66 out of 126 people found this review helpful. Rating: Full Face Mantis Reviewer: Robert W Popp, - View all my reviews The clear color is the smartest allowing only a little perifrial loss.It fits just fine for a slightly smaller face. The price is more down to earth than the higher priced models with as many extras. Rob Popp Did this Review help? No Yes 251 out of 518 people found this review helpful. Rating: Best full mask! Reviewer: chad d., I love the full mask easy to put it on and can be easily adjusted to my face. It s very comfortable and doesnt leak. Highly recommend to buy it worth the price for the full mask! Did this Review help? No Yes 16 out of 30 people found this review helpful. Rating: Mantis full-face mask Reviewer: Frank Fish, this is a marvelous product. it has a low volume, so you dont waste air. it makes diving extremely comfortable. it is useful for people who have a strong gag reflex and have trouble holding a regulator in their mouth. i was able to dive down to 80 feet with no problem. the nose pinch worked well. the quick-release buckles make getting the mask on and off relatively easy. the only problems were that if you wash out the mask before a dive it is difficult to get every of water out and you end up breathing a fine watery mist at the beginning of the dive. when you come to the surface you are locked into the mask, so be sure to carry a spare mask or surface right at the boat. one should probably disconnect the mask from the regulator for transport and storage. Did this Review help? No Yes 300 out of 531 people found this review helpful. Rating: OTS Mantis FFM Reviewer: Kent Carlson, - View all my reviews Pros: Mask fits well, construction seems mostly durable. Field of view seemingly increased over standard maks (that I use). Installation and use of Surface Breathing Valve and regulators very easy with provided directions. Donning and doffing of mask underwater made easy by quick release buckles on lower two (of five) straps. Anti-fog incorporated into mask lens works well. Cons: Cost of a compatible com system is high ($600-700). Some free-flow of air out through mask when head straps not adjusted. Plastic fittings for headstraps may have limited lifespan. Not sure how the silica inlet "mouthpiece" (where the regulator plugs in) will hold up after repeated assembly and dissassembly. Did this Review help? No Yes 326 out of 668 people found this review helpful. Rating: Mantis full face mask Reviewer: Omer N., fantastic in the pool so far not a leaking into face but will try it first in the sea without attachments before i get adventurous> it is hard not to waste air from a beach dive when the swim is 50 metres such as port o cove in vancouver b.c canada however all masks have leaked for me so far due to profile so this is miracle mask for me till i sea dive. dont go without surface air valve if intending to beach dive but always have secondary stage mask in pocket and choose a wide regulator for this mask Did this Review help? No Yes 355 out of 714 people found this review helpful. Rating: Mantis Full Face by OTS Reviewer: Bryan Toro, Best Mask for the price. Easy to install 2nd Stage and works good at depths. Never fogs. Mask molds to your face after a period of use, becoming most comfortable mask i have ever owned. The surface breathing valve is a MUST HAVE accessory! OTS has amazing customer service Did this Review help? No Yes 482 out of 1004 people found this review helpful.

MantisThe Mantis full-face mask is an ideal solution for the recreational diver who wants to truly experience all that diving has to offer. Combining the Mantis with our latest generation Buddy Phone®; and Super Mic creates a incomparable combination of price and performance for any recreational dive profile.
Our latest generation Buddy Phone features a new design with an innovative squelch to help eliminate unwanted bubble and marine-biological noise. The squelch gives increased intelligibility without sacrificing power.
When diving with the Mantis FFM and Buddy Phone, you will be able to communicate with all Single Sideband acoustic underwater devices within range and on the same frequency. This includes other Buddy Phone® divers, divers using the Aquacom® SSB-2001/2010 diver unit, and surface units such as the SP-100D2.
The Super Mic is 100% floodable to any depth and has all the benefits of an acoustically balanced, noise-canceling microphone. It packs a lot of power into a compact design to help maintain the Mantis' low-volume design.
The Mantis mask comes in either black or clear silicone. An optional surface breathing valve is available to allow you to conserve your breathing gas supply by breathing ambient air while on the surface.

5 YouTube tips you should be using
With YouTube's ever-growing popularity and our increasing obsession with cute cat videos, it's no wonder the online video service surpassed 3 billion views a day this year. According to YouTube, every American watches nine videos a day, but it's very possible that most of them are missing out on these tips and hidden features:
1. Link to a specific point in the video. You can link your friends to a specific point in the video (say, 30 seconds in) using what YouTube calls "deep links." While the video is playing, right-click it at the point you want to share and select "Copy video URL at current time."
2. Discover new music. You can find YouTube's answer to Pandora at YouTube.com/Disco. Enter the name of an artist or song title and a playlist featuring songs similar to what you entered will be created and put on autoplay. There are also options to shuffle, repeat, and save the playlist. … Read more

Gross pathologic examination showed a large, chronically inflamed gallbladder measuring 5 * 4 cm and cholelithiasis (Figure 4). Histologic analysis found xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis and malacoplakia, with focal microscopic sinus formation (Figure 5).
Both of these disease processes are associated with chronic infection and calculi that induce histiocytes to begin the inflammatory cascade.6-8 Sjodahl9 first speculated that gallbladder calculi creating mechanical trauma along the mucosa incite the inflammatory response. The inflammation causes lechitin in the bile to react with free fatty acids, producing lysolecithin. This results in further damage to the gallbladder mucosa, initiating a destructive cascade.3,10 This inflammatory process progresses from cholecystitis to XGC when the Rokitansky-Aschoff sinuses become occluded and inspissated with bile and mucin.3,4,8,10,11 When the wall tension of the distended gallbladder exceeds its natural compliance, the Rokitansky-Aschoff sinuses rupture, spreading inflammation to the adjacent tissues.2-4,10 The degradation of bile results in phagocytosis of insoluble cholesterol and bile salts by histiocytes, giving the characteristic XGC appearance of macrophage-laden and foamy histiocytes.2,10
Xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis has many similarities to its original counterpart, but it is generally more severe. Similar pathogens found in both XGC and cholecystitis include Klebsiella, E. coli, Proteus mirabilis, Enterobacter, and Citrobacter.12 Since XGC is usually not suspected preoperatively, neither are its sequelae. Complications such as gallbladder perforation, hepatic abscess, biliary ductal stricture and obstruction, ascending cholangitis, and biliary fistula are associated more commonly with XGC.2-5 Although imaging modalities13,14 such as CT, ultrasound, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, and percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography aid in diagnosing the complications of XGC, only histologic examination of a surgical specimen will accurately give the diagnosis.5 In addition, there is an increased association of underlying carcinoma in patients with XGC than in those with ordinary cholecystitis.15-17
Due to the high prevalence of primary fistulas, cholecystectomy is accompanied by excision of all surrounding xanthogranulomatous tissue to assure removal of any fistula.2-5 Since dissection in Calot's triangle is difficult due to the dense fibrosis, laparoscopic surgery is rarely successful.2,8 Some have advocated subtotal cholecystectomy with drainage of the subhepatic space to decrease the likelihood of iatrogenic injury.17 Also, due to the high incidence of associated fistulas and malignancies, many advocate intraoperative cholangiography.5
Xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis is an uncommon variant of cholecystitis that is rarely diagnosed preoperatively. It is generally more virulant than ordinary cholecystitis, but the same pathogens are isolated from both, implicating a primarily histiocytic driven inflammatory mechanism as the cause of complicating sequelae.

Back to Central and Northern Asia: A.D. 201 to 300
In this century the Persians continued to rule and populate both Afghanistan and Turkistan, introducing Zorastrianism to the area. In 371 the Ephthalites (White Huns1) invaded the upper Oxus (ancient Bactria) but the Persian Shapur II came to an understanding with them and subsequently these people actually guarded this part of the Persian domain.
It was apparently a sharpening of the climate in this part of the world which forced the nomadic tribes to other pastures toward the end of this 4th century. Rather than go east against strong China, even after the fall of the Han Dynasty, many of the Huns turned west, riding bony, rough haired, small headed horses with short, strong legs, needing little water and covering over 60 miles a day. (See footnote on previous page). As we have seen in the paragraphs above, other peoples were ahead of them, in the greatest mass migrations known, before or since. (Ref. 33)
Up through this century Tibet was divided into 13 principalities with war continually raging between them. (Ref. 272)

I saw them on a Hummer this weekend. They had em for a 4 wheeler too. It looks like they just bolt on to the hub. The rear had a frame attachment too. Pretty cool if you ask me!
If I got to worry about weight that much i don't want to go there. My luck they would keep me up just long enough to get to the quick sand.

THIS TIME last year in an attempt of support this paper predicted a win in the first round of the O'Byrne Cup against Dublin but what transpired was a spirited team performance as the home team pushed the All-Ireland champions close but ultimately lost out.
It created a fantastic optimism for the National football league but promotion from Division 4 still eludes this current crop of Carlow talent.
2013 is writing a whole new story already and although Carlow's first competitive fixture brings the same opponents as the year before there are wholesale changes everywhere. Both teams, Carlow and Dublin, have new managers with huge ambitions.
When Anthony Rainbow was first ratified as Carlow manager, succeeding Luke Dempsey, his early talk suggested a leap to Division 2 by 2015. That seems a very tall order but with belief and commitment from the group of players that are involved this year it could very well be realistic.
The first step however is this Sunday's clash with Dublin.
No longer All-Ireland champions and with Jim Gavin now at the helm it could be a good time to play the men from the big smoke. With a lot of change no doubt happening at Parnell Park the period of managerial transition might prove tricky for the Dubs.
Our prediction last year was one of hope and belief instead of realistic punditry but this year our prediction will be realistic.
Will Carlow beat Dublin? Probably not. Carlow have played two practice games against Carlow I.T and have been on the losing end twice.
With two almost certain starters playing for the I.T in Conor Lawlor and Sean Gannon and with one or two injury concerns the two losses weren't a disaster but with the same players having to play O'Byrne Cup football with their college teams and the same injury concerns with John and Brendan Murphy both doubtful it doesn't bode well.
That's not to say Carlow can't beat Dublin, for the first time in a long time the majority of the best players in the county are on the county panel, give or take one here and there.
It's a great first test, and it will be very tough, Dublin will probably win comfortably but as always, we must believe.
Verdict: Dublin by 5 but Carlow to turn some heads.

STILLWATER, Okla. — Ex-Oklahoma State basketball player Darrell Williams was freed Friday after a judge gave him a suspended sentence in a sexual assault case in which Williams insisted he was innocent.
Williams, 23, had been jailed since he was convicted in July of groping two women and reaching inside their pants without their consent at a party in December 2010.
He maintained he was the victim of misidentification — several of the 80 people at the party were wearing Oklahoma State University warm-up clothes — and his supporters claimed he was a victim of racial bias.
Williams is black; his accusers are white. The jury in predominantly white Payne County included 11 white people and one of Asian descent.
Williams enrolled at OSU after his brother was shot to death on Chicago's South Side in 2009. His family had hoped the move would keep him out of danger, and Williams made the most of his time, leading the Cowboys in rebounding and averaging more than 7 points a game in 2010.
Coach Travis Ford suspended Williams from the team in February 2011 but testified as his trial that he believed he was innocent. Ford and several players attended the sentencing but did not speak to reporters.
Ford, who sat expressionless during the hearing, didn't immediately return a message left afterward seeking comment.
A network of supporters sprang up on websites and Facebook pages while Williams was in jail awaiting sentencing. Some packed the courtroom Friday, wearing black T-shirts that said "Free Darrell 25" — a reference to his uniform number.
Security was tight, with nine uniformed deputies on hand to keep order. Many people burst into tears when District Judge Phillip Corley denied Williams' request for a new trial and issued the suspended sentence. While Williams won't spend time in prison, he still has a felony conviction.
"Yes, he's out and he's free and that's great, but he has to register as a sex offender," friend Brandi Robertson said as Williams' supporters gathered outside the courthouse to await his release. "So my heart is broken for him. He's a good person and was done wrong and I'm very upset about it."
Williams was stoic during the sentencing and left the jail in a car that pulled out from a garage and drove off without stopping for him to talk to reporters. His mother, who was at the hearing, ignored a reporter's request for comment.
Defense attorney Cheryl Ramsey said she was "very upset" as she had expected Corley to order a new trial based on new evidence. She said she would appeal so Williams would have a shot at clearing his name.
"We thought that we had proven that the new trial motion should be granted," she said. Corley has ordered the new evidence sealed, and Ramsey has not said what it is.
Online court records show that the mental health and counseling records of at least one of the women have been subpoenaed.
Assistant District Attorney Jill Ochs-Tontz said that while prosecutors had hoped for more time behind bars, they were "thrilled" Williams would be forced to register as a sex offender and have a felony conviction.
"I hope that sexual assault victims across the state will see and know that no one is above the law," she said. "I honestly feel that Darrell Williams feels that he is above the law."
With no physical evidence in the case, Williams was convicted largely on the women's testimony, although Ochs-Tontz noted that one witness testified she saw Williams pull one of the victims to the ground at the party.

Oxygen Pressurized X-Ray Crystallography: Probing the Dioxygen Binding Site in Cofactorless Urate Oxidase and Implications for Its Catalytic Mechanism Biophysical Journal, Volume 95, Issue 5, 1 September 2008, Pages 2415-2422 Nathalie Colloc'h, Laure Gabison, Gérald Monard, Muhannad Altarsha, Mohamed Chiadmi, Guillaume Marassio, Jana Sopkova-de Oliveira Santos, Mohamed El Hajji, Bertrand Castro, Jacques H. Abraini and Thierry Prangé Abstract The localization of dioxygen sites in oxygen-binding proteins is a nontrivial experimental task and is often suggested through indirect methods such as using xenon or halide anions as oxygen probes. In this study, a straightforward method based on x-ray crystallography under high pressure of pure oxygen has been developed. An application is given on urate oxidase (UOX), a cofactorless enzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of uric acid to 5-hydroxyisourate in the presence of dioxygen. UOX crystals in complex with a competitive inhibitor of its natural substrate are submitted to an increasing pressure of 1.0, 2.5, or 4.0MPa of gaseous oxygen. The results clearly show that dioxygen binds within the active site at a location where a water molecule is usually observed but does not bind in the already characterized specific hydrophobic pocket of xenon. Moreover, crystallizing UOX in the presence of a large excess of chloride (NaCl) shows that one chloride ion goes at the same location as the oxygen. The dioxygen hydrophilic environment (an asparagine, a histidine, and a threonine residues), its absence within the xenon binding site, and its location identical to a water molecule or a chloride ion suggest that the dioxygen site is mainly polar. The implication of the dioxygen location on the mechanism is discussed with respect to the experimentally suggested transient intermediates during the reaction cascade.

The biotechnological potential of piezophiles Trends in Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 3, 1 March 2001, Pages 102-108 Fumiyoshi Abe and Koki Horikoshi Abstract Microorganisms that prefer high-pressure conditions are termed piezophiles (previously termed barophiles). The molecular basis of piezophily is now being investigated extensively focusing on aspects of gene regulation and the function of certain proteins in deep-sea isolates. Little attention has been paid, however, to the potential biotechnological applications of piezophiles compared with other extremophiles. Based on the fundamental knowledge available, we will try to answer the following questions: How can we exploit the biotechnological potential of piezophiles? What can be understood by the application of high-pressure in biological systems? Abstract | Full Text | PDF (60 kb) |
Pressure-Induced Changes in the Structure and Function of the Kinesin-Microtubule Complex Biophysical Journal, Volume 96, Issue 3, 4 February 2009, Pages 1142-1150 Masayoshi Nishiyama, Yoshifumi Kimura, Yoshio Nishiyama and Masahide Terazima Abstract Kinesin-1 is an ATP-driven molecular motor that "walks" along a microtubule by working two heads in a "hand-over-hand" fashion. The stepping motion is well-coordinated by intermolecular interactions between the kinesin head and microtubule, and is sensitively changed by applied forces. We demonstrate that hydrostatic pressure works as an inhibitory action on kinesin motility. We developed a high-pressure microscope that enables the application of hydrostatic pressures of up to 200 MPa (2000 bar). Under high-pressure conditions, taxol-stabilized microtubules were shortened from both ends at the same speed. The sliding velocity of kinesin motors was reversibly changed by pressure, and reached half-maximal value at ∼100 MPa. The pressure-velocity relationship was very close to the force-velocity relationship of single kinesin molecules, suggesting a similar inhibitory mechanism on kinesin motility. Further analysis showed that the pressure mainly affects the stepping motion, but not the ATP binding reaction. The application of pressure is thought to enhance the structural fluctuation and/or association of water molecules with the exposed regions of the kinesin head and microtubule. These pressure-induced effects could prevent kinesin motors from completing the stepping motion. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (688 kb) |

Structure-function relationships in the tetrameric enzyme urate oxidase were investigated using pressure perturbation. As the active sites are located at the interfaces between monomers, enzyme activity is directly related to the integrity of the tetramer. The effect of hydrostatic pressure on the enzyme was investigated by x-ray crystallography, small-angle x-ray scattering, and fluorescence spectroscopy. Enzymatic activity was also measured under pressure and after decompression. A global model, consistent with all measurements, discloses structural and functional details of the pressure-induced dissociation of the tetramer. Before dissociating, the pressurized protein adopts a conformational substate characterized by an expansion of its substrate binding pocket at the expense of a large neighboring hydrophobic cavity. This substate should be adopted by the enzyme during its catalytic mechanism, where the active site has to accommodate larger intermediates and product. The approach, combining several high-pressure techniques, offers a new (to our knowledge) means of exploring structural and functional properties of transient states relevant to protein mechanisms.

OverviewSpiritomb often faces stiff competition from the Rotom formes as a spinblocker due to their useful resistances, wide and unique movepools, and Levitate. However, unlike Rotom-A, it doesn't sport a nasty Dark-type weakness which can be exploited by physical behemoths such as Tyranitar and Scizor. Spiritomb is a solid and effective check to major threats such as Rotom-A, Machamp, Azelf, and Lucario, and access to Pressure further sets it apart from other bulky Ghost-types, as Spiritomb can PP stall many Pokemon to death. Spiritomb is also one of the only few true Machamp counters. Overall, Spiritomb has enough to set itself apart from the Rotom formes, and can function as an effective spinblocker even in the Standard environment.
Spiritomb's main attraction over Rotom-A is that it is not Pursuit bait, and this set aims to take advantage of that. Rest allows Spiritomb to recover HP while curing status. Sleep Talk as always, pairs well with Rest; it ensures that Spiritomb isn't a sitting duck for two turns, and if it selects Will-O-Wisp, Spiritomb can actually spread burns even when asleep. Will-O-Wisp shuts down most physical attackers, and the residual damage caused by the burn allows Spiritomb to wear down many threats. Shadow Ball is used as the STAB, mono-attacking option over Dark Pulse for two reasons: Spiritomb is too slow to abuse Dark Pulse's chance to flinch, and the occasional Special Defense drops afforded by Shadow Ball can actually force switches. Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Although this set is a gimmicky one, it works well when used properly. It is particularly useful on a stall team as the main purpose of this set is to wear down Pokemon using Curse and Will-O-Wisp. Since Spiritomb has three immunities and no weaknesses, it forces a lot of switches. Pursuit is therefore the preferred STAB move as its power doubles when the target switches out. This allows Spiritomb to trap various early and late game threats such as Gengar, Starmie, and Azelf, which are all weak to Pursuit. Spiritomb can also take on Pokemon that set-up later in the game, such as Snorlax and Suicune, with this set as it can wear them down very quickly with both Curse and Will-O-Wisp. This is also very helpful to stall teams which are unable to deal with set up Pokemon, especially when they are the last Pokemon left and cannot be phazed. These traits are the reasons to consider using Spiritomb over Rotom-A. Team Options & Additional Comments >>>Other OptionsSucker Punch is Spiritomb's strongest priority move, but is unreliable and has low PP, making it a bad choice for a mono-attacking option; Shadow Sneak might be considered for its reliability, but it is too weak to deal significant damage. Pain Split can be used to recover health as well as inflict damage, but Rest is more reliable. Taunt prevents Pokemon from setting up entry hazards and shuts down opposing walls. A Trick + Choice item set can be used to mess up various walls, though several other Pokemon outclass Spiritomb for this role. Finally, Spiritomb has boosting options in Calm Mind and Nasty Plot, but it's sadly too slow to sweep effectively. Checks and CountersHeatran walks all over Spiritomb, as it resists both Shadow Ball and Dark Pulse while taking even Hidden Power Fighting comfortably, gets a Flash Fire boost from Will-O-Wisp, and can take it out with its powerful Fire-type attacks. Setup sweepers with Taunt, such as Gyarados, do a great job of checking Spiritomb as well, as they can shut it down completely and proceed to set up on it. Blissey doesn't mind taking a Will-O-Wisp thanks to Natural Cure, and laughs at Spiritomb's other attacks as well, though it can only slap a Toxic back on Spiritomb. Choice Band users such as Metagross, Dragonite, and Scizor can muscle through weakened Spiritomb with their sheer power, though they need to be careful when switching in, as Will-O-Wisp will severely cripple them. Finally, if Spiritomb lacks Taunt, Pokemon such as Skarmory and Forretress can freely switch in and use it as setup bait. |

Harvested from ancient vines on the slopes of the Andes Mountains, comes Terra Rosa Malbec: a glass-staining wine with a lovely and exotically perfumed nose. Patrick Campbell, owner/winemaker, heads down to Argentina five times per year to oversee vineyard management and to control harvest and fermentation activities. After the fermentations are finished, the wine is brought up to our California winery (Laurel Glen) by ship in temperature-controlled 24,000 liter stainless steel containers to age in French and European oak barrels for 15 months.
Terra Rosa Malbec is a BIG and juicy mouthful of wine, with a lashing of very sexy oak. We didn't set out to make this vintage in such a crowd-pleasing style: the vintage dictated the result, and it is really delicious….at once rich and powerful and with the delicate, long finish which the best malbecs display! The year was warm, and trouble-free. No rot, no hail, just nice warm days with the typically quite cool evenings. These conditions resulted in full ripening at higher than normal sugars, while still maintaining balance and finesse.
"Good deep red. Redcurrant, plum, cherry, licorice, tobacco and smoke on the nose, complicated by a hint of minerality. Suave and sweet, with a chocolate truffle flavor lifted by spices and herbs. A fairly dense and serious wine, especially for the price. Finishes with sweet tannins and good length." 88 Points,International Wine Cellar
Terra Rosa originates in the ancient Mendoza vineyards. The vineyard is under the ownership of Patrick and Faith Campbell, owners of Laurel Glen in Northern California.

Students pursuing advanced training in dispute resolution can apply for various scholarships including:
Pepperdine-Beijing Arbitration Commission Full Tuition Scholarship
The Straus Institute for Dispute Resolution at Pepperdine School of Law is pleased to announce that the Beijing Arbitration Commission (BAC) is sponsoring a full-tuition scholarship for Pepperdine's International Commercial Arbitration LLM.
BAC is a not-for-profit permanent organization devoted to providing a forum for impartial and efficient alternative dispute resolution including arbitration and mediation. It was founded in 1995 following the passage of the Arbitration Law of the People's Republic of China. The BAC focuses on contractual and property-related disputes, both commercial and international, among citizens, legal persons and other organizations. Since its founding, the BAC has grown into the foremost arbitration commission in China providing its services to both domestic and foreign parties. From an initial annual load of only a handful of cases, today the BAC consistently ranks among the top in both in the number of cases accepted and the total disputed amount. As the foremost arbitration commission in China, the BAC is regarded by Economic Intelligence Unit as "the only local arbitration commission which meets or surpasses global standards".
Applicants for the 2014 - 2015 academic year must submit a 2 page narrative outlining why they should be chosen for the BAC scholarship to be considered.
This full-tuition scholarship is funded by the Seegmiller Law Firm headquartered in Newport Beach, serving those who need legal services in both California and Nevada. The Seegmiller scholarship is available to applicants from Korea looking to earn a LLM in Dispute Resolution, including a concentration in international commercial arbitration.
Since 1981, members of The Seegmiller Law Firm have faithfully served injured people and their families with compassion and skill. The firm specializes in handling serious cases many times involving the death of a loved one. The firm sees its role in these cases to seek justice and assist in the healing process.
Applicants for the 2014 - 2015 academic year must submit a 2 page narrative outlining why they should be chosen for the Seegmiller scholarship to be considered.
Pepperdine-JAMS Full Tuition Scholarship
Pepperdine is pleased to announce the continued support of JAMS for a full-tuition scholarship for a student in the LLM in Dispute Resolution with a Concentration in International Commercial Arbitration.
JAMS is the largest for profit provider of mediation and arbitration services in the United States, with offices in more than 25 cities and more than 300 retired judges and senior lawyers on its panel. JAMS has been focusing on international opportunities, including the opening of an office in London, and sees this scholarship as an expression of its support for future international arbitration practitioners.
Applicants for the 2014 - 2015 academic year must submit a 2 page narrative outlining why they should be chosen for the JAMS scholarship to be considered.
Merit-Based Scholarship
Applicants are considered for merit-based scholarships at the point of application.
Fulbright Program for Foreign Students
Fulbright Program for Foreign Students is a scholarship sponsored by the U.S. Department of State with the purpose of increasing the mutual understanding between the people of the United States and the people of other countries. It sponsors foreign students, teachers, professionals and scholars to study, teach, lecture and conduct research in the U.S. and vice-versa, through approximately 1,800 student grants.
Its program is administrated by binational Fulbright Commissions/Foundations or U.S. Embassies, so the applications for scholarships must be submitted in the students' home countries, which will respectively determine their requirements and deadlines as well as their own students' program eligibility and selection procedures.
For more information visit Fulbright's Foreign Student Program website.
JAMS Foundation- Weinstein International Fellowship Program
The Weinstein International Fellowship provides opportunities for individuals from outside the United States to visit the U.S. to learn more about dispute resolution processes and practices and to pursue a project of their own design that serves to advance the resolution of disputes in their home countries.
Applicants should submit a proposal with the specific objective of increasing the scope of dispute resolution in their countries and in the world. The fellowship of up to U$25,000.00 is awarded to fellows from countries that do not have an established culture of using mediation for cases in litigation.
The criteria for eligibility to the fellowship are:
Preference for proposals that would help applicant's home coutry establish viable dispute resolution systems or change how disputes are resolved
Preference for applicants who have expierence as lawyers, law professors, court administrators, government officers, ADR practitioners, or judges
Application deadline is usually in December.
For more information visit the JAMS' Weinstein International Fellowship website.
The Rotary Foundation
Rotary Foundation Ambassadorial Scholarships were founded in 1947 and is Rotary's oldest scholarship program and it's scheduled to end in 2013. It will be subdivided into two different grant program pilots, which involve a three-year test of the new grant structure offered in the Foundation's Future Vision Plan.
District Grants – Grants to be distributed by districts according to their own discretion. Grants may be granted to scholarships without restrictions on the level (secondary, university, or graduate), length, location (local or international), or area of study, or on the dollar amount. It serves to fund humanitarian and educational projects and activities, either locally or abroad, that relate to the mission of the Rotary Foundation.
Applicants should contact their district to find out more details about opportunities.
Global Grants – Grants to be distributed towards larger, more sustainable projects developed by clubs and districts in the six areas of focus.

Former Boston College forward Gerry Ward was named the school's rep to this year's ACC Tournament Legends Roster.
Previewing Thursday night's ACC men's basketball game between the Boston College Eagles and the Maryland Terrapins with Patrick Stevens of the Washington Times.
Feinstein's "ACC Expansion Killed Basketball" Column Misses The Mark
Interesting study in the Indiana Business Journal from IU finance professor Ryan Brewer, who gave a valuation to college football programs as if they were a business for sale. Brewer valued the 100 Division I-A public schools the way a Wall Street analyst would value a business, based on assets, liabilities, cash flows and a number of different factors.
Duke basketball head coach Mike Krzyzewski states the obvious ... ACC basketball has slipped over the years.
Recapping the best Boston College sports game of the year.
Williams coached the Eagles for 4 years, before moving on to Ohio State and later Maryland. He lead the Terrapins to their only Final Four and National Championship in school history.
N.C. State hired Mark Gottfried as its next men's basketball head coach, replacing Sidney Lowe.
A look at ACC men's basketball coaching tenure and the conference's perceived "down year." Are coaching tenure and winning college basketball correlated?
Turns out that Maryland coach Gary Williams may have been right after all with his comments about the ACC's four NCAA Tournament selections following Selection Sunday.

Game Recap 5/8/12 -- Three's Company - Twins 5 Angels 0
Unknown pitcher just breaking into the big leagues? Check
Offensive just put up a huge game the night before? Check
Dan Haren on the mound? Check
Seems like all the factors were in place for the Angels to lose the game in rather frustrating fashion. Dan Haren never gets run support from this offense and the Angels can't hit nobody pitchers let alone follow up a big night with something at least half decent, so it really shouldn't be a shocker that the Angels lost this one tonight. Maybe the loss really wasn't that debilitating or I've become completely numb from all these disappointing games.

Recipe by ERiley
"These certainly aren't gourmet, but they are YUMMY!"
Watch video tips and tricks
1 pound breakfast sausage
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, at room temperature
2 (8 ounce) packages refrigerated crescent rolls
1 egg white
This recipe is a good one. I add some onion and a few spices to liven it up. You cut the crescent rolls in half to get the 16 servings, I usually use 2 cans because it makes a lot. Originally, I found this recipe on the Pillsbury recipe site but they call them "Donkey Balls". They are good as recipe states but I like to add some spice! This is a good basic recipe!

Todd Lockwood has chosen the WINNER! And finished the drawing!!
And that character is...
....Krail Stromquism.
Congratulations Krail! Todd Lockwood will be drawing your character this November, and the original will be mailed to you for you to keep!
Todd's extremely busy with commercial work until then, but when that day arrives your character will join the ranks of Lidda, Mialee, Regdar and the new dragons as icons whose visual conception was assisted by the fantastic work of Todd Lockwood!
What a fun contest this was, I had a great time getting to know so many wonderful characters, I can't wait to see Todd's rendition of Krail. Judging from the results of the poll, I won't be the only one either.
And for you purists out there, Krail was actually Todd's favorite of the top 30, but it was so close he thought it would be fun to have me post a poll. So I did, and Krail won anyway.
Congratulations Krail! We'll have to get in touch when it gets closer to the deadline to work out the details of you getting the piece. If there's anything else you want Todd to know about your character just let me know (do you want her with or without ram horns, etc.) Awesome!
UPDATE: Todd Lockwood's rendition of Krail can now be viewed in the Art Gallery at http://www.enworld.org/forums/showthread.php?t=78238Last edited by Kai Lord; Tuesday, 24th February, 2004 at 07:09 AM.

Man this really has made my day.
Thanks so much to Kai Lord and to Mr. Lockwood for his time and awesome talent!
All the characters were great I was certainly in good company.
thanks again

And here is Krail!
(Told ya the winner would have tattoos. )
Krail Stromquism
Krail is an attractive woman in her early 20s. Her eyes are piercing but open and expressive. They retain an attractive innocence yet harbor a knowing maturity. If you've ever met someone and felt they had an "old soul", Krail exudes that quality. Young beauty harboring aged maturity.
Shes young and attractive, beautiful some would say. She has a strong voluptuous body and dresses to show it off. She has no qualms exploiting the weakness of men to her advantage especially in combat.
Her arms and armor are always silvered with a heavy black patina worked into the recesses and designed to show off her form. I envision the impossible plate mail boustier, cut low for ample cleavage. (Krails starting to sound really slutty but I swear shes not, I am, but thats another story)
She has a few favorite accessories. One is a Collar of Domination and its your run of the mill studded black leather (dog) collar. Her Custom built Wings of Flying, a long cloak of darkest raven feathers, it trails on the ground. A flaming long sword, no doubt a personal affront to her father and his choice of weaponry. And a Silvered Shield to match her armor.
Early on in her career shes gets tainted by chaos along with most of the rest of the PCs and pics up an oddity or two. First, tattoos, sharp, abstract, angular, tribal tattoos appear in various places on her body. Later on, in a second tainting, they all connect and begin to shift and change and move around on her body. In a final taintfilled episode she grows rams horns. She likes to keep her hair long.Last edited by Krug; Friday, 15th August, 2003 at 10:24 AM.

Spring Fever for Toppers!
Want to update your style this Spring? It's easy to do if you take your cues from the runways. Lacoste and Hermes opted for headbands with tennis inspired looks, Hermes opting for black and white. Alexander Wang paired black headbands with his eccentric black football looks. Marc Jacobs covered hair buns with gold. Vivienne Westwood, always the punk eccentric, went for straw hats, like the kind you'd wear to an English country wedding but with wink: see the frog on that topper? For American chic that always garners feminine allure, Ralph Lauren relaunched his classic beret look with paisley dresses.

VIVOTEK PZ8111/21 is a high-performance network camera featuring 10x optical zoom and pan/tilt functionality. The camera is designed for indoor surveillance applications such as retail stores, offices or banks. The built-in 10x motorized optical zoom module provides greater depth of field when zoomed in. Therefore, it can display clear-cut images on near or distant objects.
With flexible 300-degree pan and 135-degree tilt, PZ8111/21 can give users more comprehensive control over the monitored site. The PZ8111/21 supports the industry-standard H.264 compression technology, drastically reducing file sizes and conserving valuable network bandwidth. With MPEG-4 and MJPEG compatibility also included, video streams can also be transmitted in any of these formats for versatile applications. The streams can also be individually configured to meet different constraints, thereby further reducing bandwidth and storage requirements. Users can thus receive multiple streams simultaneously in different resolutions, frame rates, and image qualities for viewing on different platforms.
In addition, PZ8111/21 is integrated with Power over Ethernet function, making installation easier and more cost-efficient. The free-bundled, multi-lingual 32-channel recording software helps users to set up an easy-to-use IP surveillance system.

Thanks bro
Lol. Guess we both found them then.
True. I'll save you the trouble of that then.
Yeah, but they changed to Havoc and Anarchy. I don't even think you made the Dynasty logo, actually. I think DUBS made that one for me.
Nice. Do you still have all of the old logos? Been looking through the show thread, and I noticed a lot of them don't work.
Hey, if you're willing to whip one up, I would most definitely use and appreciate it.
I got your PM dude. I'm thinking it over and speaking with my creative team. Will get back too you man.
