Offspring women were queried about age at menarche at exam 2 and Heritability estimates about oral contraceptive use at every exam. Heritability estimates using variance components for age Statistical analysis at natural menopause are shown in Table 1. The crude model resulted in heritability estimates of 0.65 [95% confidence Analyses were performed on crude age at natural menopause and interval (CI), 0.42, 0.89] in original cohort, 0.59 (95% CI, 0.37, standardized residuals from multiple linear regressions in SAS (SAS/ STAT Software, Version 8.2, 1999, SAS Institute, Cary, NC) that adjusted age at natural menopause for covariates of interest. Thus, crude and multivariable-adjusted age at natural menopause were used as pheno- types in subsequent analyses. Because the crude trait was skewed and the variance component method assumes normality, we also computed heritability for the Winsorized crude trait. Winsorization is a widely accepted methodology for reducing skewness and kurtosis (17, 18). In this study, we replaced values that were four times the sd above or below the mean by the mean plus/minus four times the sd. Covariates in the multivariable models included mean number of cigarettes smoked, mean body mass index, and mean alcohol intake measured across at- tended examinations, parity (0 vs. 1 or more live births), oral contra- ceptive use ever, and age at menarche. Heritability was calculated using two methods. First, we examined familial aggregation of age at natural menopause by calculating corre- lations for relatives of different types. We used the family correlations procedure in Statistical Applications for Genetic Epidemiology (SAGE, release 3.1; Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, OH) to calcu- late the intraclass correlations for mother-daughter pairs, sibling pairs, and aunt-niece pairs using equal weights for each pedigree. A simple estimate of heritability is obtained by doubling the correlation coeffi- FIG. 1. Distribution of age at natural menopause in the study sample.

Musical Billy Elliot Hits Australia with Music, Dance and Meyer Sound Mâelodie
Following an award-winning run in the UK, Lee Hall and Elton Johnâs musical Billy Elliot opened to sellout crowds in Sydney, Australiaâs Capitol Theatre. The Australian productionâs exquisite audio was designed by veteran sound designer Paul Arditti, whose credits include the Olivier Award for the London production of Billy Elliot, as well as Olivier nominations for The Pillowman and Festen. The sound system provided by Melbourne-based System Sound Pty. is comprised of 26 Meyer Sound Mâelodie⢠line array loudspeakers along with 41 UPM-1P loudspeakers for rear delays. This marks the first time Mâelodie is used in any Billy Elliot production, with impressive results.
âCapitol Theatre has some challenging reflections due to the curved ceiling,â? explains Shelly Lee, Sound Supervisor for the production. âThe Mâelodiesâ tight focus really helps to keep those reflections to a minimum.â?
Arditti notes that using Mâelodies has effectively prevented a potential feedback disaster. âWhen youâre attempting to amplify a thirteen-year-old Billy Elliot with a small voice, from an omnidirectional mic hidden in his hairline, while he dances and sings downstage right below the centre hang of M'elodies, against an orchestra playing their socks off, you might expect to run out of gain before feedback,â? Arditti observes. âWith the M'elodies, we never even got near the feedback point.â?
Eighteen additional UPM-1P loudspeakers on stage provide foldback for the performers. They are turned on and off to accommodate the frequently moved set pieces throughout the performance. Another ten UPM-1Ps used as frontfills are delayed individually as the front of the stage is angled.
A selection of UPJ-1P VariO⢠loudspeakers and UPA-1P, MM-4 and CQ-1 loudspeakers provides effects throughout the hall, with eight UMS-1P subwoofers handling low end surround. A Galileo⢠loudspeaker management system with two Galileo 616 units handles drive and processing for the Mâelodie system.
âThe consistency and accuracy of the Mâelodies make them, without question, my favorite speakers for theatre vocals,â? states Arditti. âIâm truly impressed with the sound and the superb ease of use of the Galileo as well.â?
System Sound first used the Meyer Sound Mâelodies for Miss Saigon in Australia and Brazil, and was so pleased with the results that it recommended them for the Australian productions of Billy Elliot and Spamalot. System Soundâs director John Scandrett confessed that the company first purchased the Mâelodies based on its lengthy relationship with other Meyer Sound products and without even auditioning them. âThe M1D has been a valuable part of our inventory for many years, and we have tremendous confidence in Meyer Soundâs products,â? Scandrett explains. After using the Mâelodies, Scandrett confirms he has made the right decision. âI believe the Mâelodie will represent a new benchmark for the theater industry.â?
âThe Meyer gear was an easy choice for us,â? Lee agrees. âThe level of consistency between boxes is very important, particularly in line arrays. The reliability factor is also a major consideration in these types of long-running productions. At the end of the day, the dedication and expertise Meyer Sound puts into its loudspeaker design have created an impressive range of products; for sound designers, that means an exceptionally wide creative palette to draw from.â?

5.0 out of 5 stars My Favourite America CD of All Time (and I have them all!),
This review is from: America - Human Nature - CD (Audio CD)
The wait between brand new America albums is always a painful experience. This one followed on from the fabulous Hourglass after a mere four years, and proved to be another exceptional album. Wednesday Morning, Moment to Moment, Wheels Are Turning and Pages all rank amongst my all time favourite America songs, and are even greatly appreciated by my 14 year old daughter! There's also an excellent medley World Alone, blending different tracks together. The final track Oloololo took me a while to understand what the lyrics were about... until I was on Safari in Kenya and recognised place names. Wonderful.
Sadly America's most recent album Here & Now - a collaboration - was a bit of a disappointment to me, especially after a 10 year wait! Far better was Gerry Beckley's solo album Horizon Fall. America are best when doing it all themselves... Human Nature is such an album and definitely worth adding to your collection.
5.0 out of 5 stars Human Nature,
Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: America - Human Nature - CD (Audio CD)
I gave this CD 5 stars as it is a masterpiece. It opens well with "From A Moving Train" and keeps up the high standard of America country style rock. There is a simplicity with "Town and Country", with Dewey on lead vocals,harmonized well by Gerry. "Wednesday Morning" is a very catchy song indeed, keeping a light perspective on a doomed relatiionship, delivered very well by Gerry. "These Wheels Are Turning" is Dewey on lead vocal with the best possible harmonies from Gerry. "Overwhelming World/Barstow Suite" is hard for me to describe but "Barstow " livens it up after a deep emotional range of vocals from Gerry in O W. Not so keen on "Hot Town" by Dewey. I will be playing this time and time again.
5.0 out of 5 stars Go on - splash out a quid!,
Terry Bingham "charlieparkerlovesme" (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: America - Human Nature - CD (Audio CD)
With a brand new version available here for just over a quid, I had to stop to implore someone with a modicum of love for beautiful songwriting, gorgeous harmonies and superb arrangements in the West Coast style to dip their hand in their pocket for this album.
Better in some ways even than its predecessor, Hourglass, this is quite possibly the very best of all the America albums - and I have them all.
Go on, you're worth it! This disc would be at twenty times the price.

I could not believe that a hotel of this caliber wanted $6.95/day for in room wi-fi. Imagine!!

Rated 4 out of 5 by 4gtown Bring a flash light Was our first visit to Memphis and our visit to a Westin Hotel. The hotel it's self is very nice, the staff "in person" are very nice and professional. On the phone not so much..they were short with me and seemed to be bothered to be talking on the phone. The bathrooms are much to dark, not enough light to put on makeup or shave. Please brighten up the bathrooms. Also, felt that with the price of the room, food and parking that the internet usage should have been free or at least free in the lobby area. Also witnessed a valet worker back a large GMC truck into the wall. Glad we used the self park and it was less cost. February 14, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by SPG39828 Front Desk Worst Ever Good luck getting anyone to help you at the desk. Your room will not be ready at check in Welcome to Westin Memphis SPG Silver Gold or Platinum means nothing here.. Enjoy your stay.... July 16, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by pmeyers08 Not Satisfied My husband almost always stay at a Westin facility and are always pleased when we do. When we arrived on Wednesday night, we were greeted by a "not so friendly" front desk employee. No welcome, no enjoy your stay, do you have any questions, need help with your bags - nothing. Not impressed!!! Room not the best we've ever had - but the thing that got us the most so far - Returned to our room late last night after a fun day out prepared to order room service, as we checked that morning and it says there is a late night menu that we can order from 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. We called downstairs - we're told by they didn't serve food that late. My husband asked the question on why it was in the menu - no answer. We ended the call and called back to ask if there were places in the area that would still deliver - The phone rang literally for 20 minutes. My husband had time to go down to the front desk and come back up with menu's before a man answered (I'll refrain from saying his name) when I told him we had been letting the phone ring for 20 minutes, he proceeded to argue with me that it was 20 minutes. Then when I asked him a few questions, he didn't answer me - just empty air. I told him I couldn't believe the service we were getting and he didn't apologize or anything - just empty air. If you'd like to know who this is by name, please feel free to call or email me and I'll be happy to provide you with the name. This morning we ordered breakfast in our room - they ended up getting my order totally wrong. I'm thinking there needs to be a look at the way the management of this facility is run. I'm starting to think that sending this review in with still a few more days here - I may have more to write about. March 14, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by abcxyz123abc Good hotel No complaints except the valet parking. clean hotel July 13, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Akaf86 The rooms needs to be clean a lot better. When I arrived I realized that the hotel is very nice. The hotel lobby and other areas are nice. However, when I arrived to my room and decided to take a nap before venturing out in the town, my bedding was filthy. I was unable to take a nap until someone came and changed it. I waited a while so I decided to leave and venture into the city without a nap. When I pulled the covers back there was a nasty brown stain on the spread and there was also a brown stain on the bottom of the spread as well. I took a photo for proof if your office needed to see. I was disappointed and concerned about sleeping on the mattress but after a day I felt better. This is my first time staying in your hotel. December 27, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by bitt2012 Pretty good if you can afford it. My husband and I enjoyed our stay at the Westin. It is so close to Beale Street and that is the reason we stayed here. The staff was very friendly and helpful as well. The room was clean and big and the bathroom was huge and cleanish.... The bed was very comfy. The only negative it that it is pretty expensive. On top of paying almost $200 a night, they charge $18 a day to park or $24 a day for valet. That adds almost $50 to your bill. Also, they have a mini bar in the room. Some people may find that handy, but they have a sensored tray right on top of the entertainment center. (BE CAREFUL if you are clumsy or have anything sitting on top that may fall on the tray!) If you remove something for rmore than 30 seconds it automatically charges that item to your room, and be careful because the prices are ridiculous! Luckily, I read the sign, because my husband almost bought a $10 can of jelly beans that maybe had 30 beans in it, just because he picked it up. I find that kind of tacky! They also do not have a pool which is diappointing when you pay $200 a night, but overall, it was nice. The best part was that is was close to Beale. If it wasn't, I would not stay there. Too little for too much money, and they charge extra for every little thing they can think of. The convenience of the location is the best part. September 5, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by John The Most Disappointing Starwood Experience The experience at this Westin was by far the worst Starwood hotel experience ever for me. Upon checkin, the staff completely ignored the Starwood Gold & Platinum check-in counter. What's the point of having it if you don't use it? Then, the staff argued about my Starwood status. Once I finally received my room key, I had to return to the lobby because it didn't work. Upon finally entering my room, I noticed they had given me a room with 2 double beds, not the King room I had reserved. I called the front desk, asking for a King room and they said all were booked. I noted that I had reserved a King room, and they once again argued with me until realizing that I had in fact booked a King room. They said, "Oh well, all King rooms are booked and there isn't anything we can do for you. If you were staying more than one night, maybe we could do something and upgrade you." Completely unacceptable. I may take my hotel business elsewhere and my Starwood loyalty will go from 100% Starwood to 0% Starwood. To make the entire experience worse, the elevators, lobby, restrooms, hallways and guest room were filthy. Splatters and dried liquid stains in the elevators...large stains on the carpets in the guest room....toilet seat that was broken and falling off...mildew in the shower....mildew stains on the towels.....the list goes on and on. I won't be staying at this Starwood property ever again. June 1, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Anniversary26 The bed and pillows are great My husband and I enjoyed every minute of our stay. From check-in to check out the staff was wonderful and the bed and pillow was the best I have slept on. Thank you and we will be back soon. July 10, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by skills11 Great location, great experience I love staying here. The staff is (generally) responsive to guest requests, and SPG recognition is (generally) good. I stayed here three days before my birthday; when my son and I came in from dinner and a play, there was a large platter of beautiful fruit and delicious house-made cookies waiting for us! July 7, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Texas57 One of the nicest hotel rooms I have stayed in. My overall stay was good but check in was difficult because I am a CLC Lodging member. They did not honor my checkinn card. Other than that it was a beautiful facility. July 9, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by MickyC Best Memphis location Westin Memphis Beale Street is the best hotel location in Memphis - block off of Beale, next to the arena, across from Gibson and the R&R Museum. July 9, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by MrsTJH Location was great, friendly staff Everything was just OK. There was no ice bucket in our room. We ran out of toilet tissue twice (why didn't they just leave an extra roll) Staff was friendly but not knowledgable about transportation or any of the sites. Hotel was pretty, clean and comfortable!!! I will stay here again! July 7, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by HappyAtWestin Outstanding Stay The staff was extremely friendly, the location was fantastic, the bed was beyond comfortable, and the hotel was overall clean. It was a fantastic experience. I took advantage of the New Balance program and enjoyed trying out new workout gear. July 7, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Kris1230 Leftover Lipstick and Leaking shower Horrible. Hotel was booked so we couldn't change rooms. The shower leaked into the room from the bathroom onto the carpet. There was lipstick on the "clean" glass in the bathroom and they failed to clean my room on the 3rd day and then complained that they needed to bring me towels twice when one towel wasn't going to work for 3 people. Upon check out I was offered nothing and told there was no manager on duty to speak with. If I wanted a leaky shower and dirty glasses I could've found a hotel that was much cheaper than $259.00 per night. Incredibly disappointing. And in the future, try to have a manager working at all times instead of a college kid telling me how sorry he was and giving me extra starwood points. Really? March 18, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by KeithH Worst Westin Experience This was by and far the worst customer experience I have had at a Westin. It was only remedied on the final day by the awesome manager Leigh. Until then I had been snapped at by the front desk, told that the large group that had used my room longer than planned was more important than I was. ANOTHER GUEST HAD THE POLICE CALLED ON THEM AND WAS BANNED FROM THE HOTEL FOR LIFE. I saw it happen and the guest was not unruly. The whole experience was surreal. I am only going back because Leigh told me to call her ahead of time and I know she will make it right. January 25, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by magie67 Customer Service needed at check in I have stayed at many spg hotels and this hotel needs customer service at check in, they didn't inform us of a couple of things, for ex. use hotel key in elevator, couldn;t figure out what to do and got stuck in elevator, till another guest explained to us. didn't explain parking options, no spg recognition, didn't offer free wifi at hotel or even in the room. Great location if you are looking to hang at Beale Street. June 30, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by met45 customer service poor with a full hotel The parking team lost my keys. I had called down in advance because of a tight schedule to drive back to Atlanta. It took over 45 minutes to find them after I got downstairs. I was not happy and there was no concession. Also, when I checked in, there were no rooms ready...which is no problem. I made a request and asked them to call me when my room was ready. The message I received was that the hotel was full and they didn't have a room for me. I was in meetings and couldn't address until several hours later. When I made it to the front desk, they said "oops" you do have a reservation. sorry. Overall, the hotel is beautiful and the room nice. I was disappointed on food quality and temperature (my room service meal was cold and was supposed to be hot). It was clear that they had a difficult time managing a full hotel. June 27, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Fooddoc Do not stay here Despite knowing that this was a busy time (NBA finals), the hotel was understaffed and made us wait for hours to get into rooms that had been reserved three months prior. They were unhelpful and told us we just had to wait. This is a terrible way to run a business particularly when it relies on tourism in this area. April 28, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by JG2014 Great Hotel The hotel staff was outstanding. They were very friendly and responsive to our team and their needs. We conducted a meeting at this hotel and the banquet team did a fantastic job of accommodating our group. May 3, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by RockerSW Best time ever I loved staying at the Westin and will do so ever chance I get. After a long day of activities, the rooms have that fantastic relaxing scent, the beds are so comfortable; staff is welcoming and the facility is safe and secure. Proximity to attractions - fabulous. We really got to enjoy the downtown area. Our breakfast server was especially attentive. Will we return? You bet!!!!!! April 15, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by DisappointedRN This was very DISAPPOINTING!! This hotel and it's amenities are very misleading. Please be prepared to pay for parking,liquor tax,state tax,city tax,occupancy tax,and refreshment center tax. Also the refrigerator is a stocked alcohol&beverage refrigerator, snacks(chips etc.) are also available, be mindful on your selections because its all on a 30 sec sensor. The carpet was very stained, iron leaked water, hotel has NO pool and staff was not very friendly. I informed staff that I needed a refrigerator for my husband meds(insulins) they promised to bring a extra one but I never received it, so I requested they remove some items from the stocked refrigerator & staff informed me that couldn't be done, so we iced his insulin to keep it cool... I was very disappointed with my stay, & ill never return!! August 28, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by MkayMa78 It was nice I thought that the room was nice, but it was not what I had expected. I've stayed in a few hotels during my travels over the last few months, and for the value, it did not meet my expectations. One main disappointment was the WiFi. In a time when there are so many of us traveling, this is a feature that I would think all hotels would have as complementary (I stayed in a hotel in Atlanta, same price, bigger room, with free WiFi). Other than that, nice bed, needs a little maintenance in the bathroom, but overall nice. November 23, 2011
Rated 2 out of 5 by Kew787 Disappointed in our second stay here I'd like to start by saying that my husband and I stayed here over 2 years ago on the night of our wedding, and the stay was perfect! Unfortunately, our stay this time around was not near as pleasant. Our check in was supposed to be at 3:00, we arrived at 4:00 and were unable to get into our room until 5:15. We hung our room service sign for breakfast outside the door, it was never picked up and when we did receive it after calling the desk we were incorrectly charged. There was no regular coffee in our room but instead 3 packs of decaf. I would like to say that the staff was helpful and courteous with each of these situations, but when I pay over $250 a night for a room I expect the service and accommodations to reflect the price. The biggest positive moment from our stay was sleeping in the amazingly comfortable bed. March 9, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Joni Have stayed here 15 times I have been bringing course attendees to this property 3 times/yr since they opened their doors. The place is getting tired and the lack of attention to detail is growing. My mattress cover zipper was ripped, had to call for bath towels one night, safe did not work, no water, no creamers, stained carpets, no longer offer HBO, groaning elevators--yet the rates keep rising! I like it here, the location is perfect and the staff are friendly so I'm really on the fence. March 10, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by WorkTravelerReview Great Location, Friendly Staff Fantastic Location. Friendly and helpful staff. Parking is inconvenient and the vendor (not the hotel) charges random prices...Example: First night (10 hours) I was there, lost my ticket, paid $15. Second night (8 hours), had ticket, paid $20. Sign posted said: $10. Hallways need sprucing up and need to be vacuumed and cleaned regularly...consistently observed regular issues with bits of trash etc in the hallways. Workout center was adequate and nice. Room service late night dining options really don't exist. January 24, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by MysticDog Sub par experience Was excited to be on Beale Street. But poor service at Westin put a damper. Was given a room where someone was already checked in (!). Has never happened before. Hastened out of room and went back to lobby. Am a Gold member but no upgrade was made available. No Club level on property. (hmmm, how is that possible?) No pool. (ok, maybe understandable) Poor room cleaning service. Checkout got bill wrong by overcharging. Just generally a sub par experience for such a great brand ... but still liked Memphis! August 19, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Alton1 Enjoyed, but... Had some things I'm not used to expecting. Light bulbs out, tears in the wallpaper, no towels in the changing table in the family bathrooms, empty wine glasses against the wall in the hall our entire stay(only one night). Enjoyed my stay. But some loose ends did stick out. June 30, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by JohnTheBeerSnob Excellent location, great front line staff Loved being so close to the action on Beale. Elegant rooms, friendly staff. Restaurant was a little bit of a letdown. Server made it right. Beer selection could have been better, but adequate. June 30, 2014

GeForce GTX 680 3-way SLI review -
DX11: Anno 2070
DX11: Anno 2070
It's 2070 and the world has changed. The seas rising level has harmed the coastal cities and climate change has made large stretches of land inhospitable. In Anno 2070 the game offers a new world full of challenges, where you will need to master resources, diplomacy and trade in the most comprehensive economic management system seen yet in the Anno series.
This particular test has the following enabled:
- Very high quality mode
- in-game AA
- in-game AF
Our scores are average framerates so you need to keep a margin in mind for lower FPS at all times. As such we say 40 FPS for this game should be your minimum, while 60 FPS (frames per second) can be considered optimal.
No 7970 CFX result here as at the time of testing the card Anno 2070 was not yet a part of our benchmark suite.
The Anno 2070 scales poorly, overall it's fast enough of course. Especially in the extremely high 2560x1600 resolution in the upper chart you can see that quite well, but 3-way scaling... nah.
Once we fire off a thousand dollar processor at the 3-way setup we do see better 3-way performance compared to the regular test system. You do need to wonder if that's worth the money though.

Fight Club Posters
Fight Club Posters is radically striking and makes a useful wall decoration, this dimension is 24 x 36 inch and the price is $49.99. If you're trying to find top recommended Fight Club Posters with sixpenny price, the produce is the singular deals for you.
Fight Club Posters is sumptuous, the colors are extremely heart-stirring, and it has a unquestionably cool composition. The poster is nice, the quality is climactic and the price is standout. The unit is relatively simple, relatively flexible, and absolutely stable. The unit is striking, the paper its printed on isn't the best of characteristic, but is well worth owning all the same. Fight Club Posters is smooth and easy to purchase, with emphasis on practicality and experience. But anyways this poster is a fabulous quality poster. The one was done primarily because each commodity displayed only one film on one screen. The color is a bit different than shown on the commodity image, a bit more than just monitor differences.

Polar Beer & Burger Bar, Bravo Gourmet Sandwich and Fritanga Suyen cited by state inspectors
By Linda Trischitta
October 4, 2012
Critical violations of state sanitation and safety laws observed by inspectors at three South Florida restaurants last week prompted the Florida Department of Business & Professional Regulation to cite the owners and briefly suspend their operations. Bravo Gourmet Sandwich, 2925 N.E. 6 th Ave., Wilton Manors was briefly closed Sept. 24 after an inspector observed a bathroom was not enclosed with tight-fitting, self-closing doors; there was no copy of the latest inspection report and the state hotel and restaurant license was not properly displayed; the manager lacked proof of food manager certification; the front counter hand washing sink lacked proper drying provisions, cleanser or an employee sign; a working container of sugar was removed from the original container and not identified by common name; a bowl without a handle in a rice container in the kitchen was improperly used to dispense food; uncovered dressing was in a holding unit/dry storage area; ready-to-eat, potentially hazardous rice was prepared on site, held more than 24 hours and not properly date-marked; there were 10 fresh rodent droppings found in a sink, on a food prep table next to a rice cooker, on a counter next to a kitchen toaster oven and elsewhere.
Take a trip to Backstreet's, a burger paradise
September 19, 2012
There are certain hidden places deep in the heart of Wellington that you simply can't find. Instead, they find you. Inside a non-descript shopping center and almost buried underneath offices for insurance and real estate and other professionals sits a bar that's been around for almost 18 years. It's called Backstreet's Neighborhood Bar and Grill. And this place is paradise. And somehow paradise found me. I often talk about the high life with exotic polo players and their adventures here in our little part of the world and how much they are a part of the night life here.
