Izzy, labeled The Psycho Hose Beast, was a camper on Total Drama Island and was originally placed on the Killer Bass before switching to the Screaming Gophers in Not So Happy Campers - Part 2. She was a cast member on Total Drama Action and was placed on the Killer Grips. She also competed on Total Drama World Tour and she was originally placed on Team Amazon before switching to Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot in Walk Like An Egyptian - Part 2. She was seen with the original contestants on a yacht in the first episode of Total Drama: Revenge of the Island and had a cameo appearance in Finders Creepers. Izzy did not qualify for Total Drama All-Stars, but had a brief cameo in the seventh episode.
Izzy is, in Noah's own terms, "nutty as a ten-ton bag of pecans smothered in peanut butter, encased in a cashew the size of China." She is fun, but hard to handle, and to the other contestants more trouble than she is worth. Izzy has extraordinary athletic and fighting abilities. She also is number eight on the RCMP's "Most Wanted" list, presumably for accidentally blowing up a kitchen, but it is unclear whether she was telling the truth. As a running gag in the series, she will leave in an unusual way after being eliminated. Throughout Total Drama Action, she frequently changes her persona to another that she has created for her own amusement. She has been shown to enjoy plotting bizarre solutions to various situations. Despite her strange ways of showing it, Izzy does care about others (mainly Owen) and means well even if her results don't reflect it.
Total Drama Island
When Izzy first arrives to the island, she slips while stepping off the boat and slams her chin into the edge of the dock. Though, when Courtney comes to check on her to see if she's okay, Izzy says that she's feeling great. Izzy is originally placed on the Killer Bass team, but she offers to switch with Katie (so that Katie could be on the same team as Sadie) at the cliff jumping challenge that takes place in the second episode, and therefore becomes a Screaming Gopher. She then dives off the cliff, cackling maniacally and smiling.
In Not So Happy Campers - Part 2, Izzy does a good job opening the crates with her teeth. However, she gets a rope burn on her tongue from doing so. She also seems to enjoy fire and is quickly known for her insane/stalker personality; she also speaks slightly faster than the other campers do. Izzy often brings up her relatives whenever she is in the confessional. She supposedly has a brother who was a mechanic, though he developed a fear of vehicles when he was run over by a car. Izzy also says her uncle tried to cut off his ear at a family reunion, mirroring the actions of the famous artist Vincent Van Gogh. However, he wimped out and only cut it off half way, leaving part of it still hanging there (she believes that it ended up in her salad). Izzy was the only Gopher not to be grossed out by Owen's shark bite mark on his rear end, as she even found it "awesome." Izzy has shown that she does have a dark side, as she has been known to lie many times. Seeing as how she is on the run from the RCMP, and frequently gets into trouble, it seems as though her family either doesn't pay any attention to her, or they actually keep away from her, though whether these stories are true or not is unknown, as Izzy is known to lie or exaggerate the truth.In Up the Creek, it is revealed that Izzy is an AWOL, following an explosive accident she had caused, while serving in the reserves, and is thus wanted by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. During the Campfire Ceremony, a helicopter shines a searchlight down upon Izzy and informs her that she is under arrest. Izzy, realizing that her past has caught up with her, runs off into the night, laughing and screaming in a maniacal way, "You'll never get me alive!" Before this, Chris was about to give the final marshmallow to either her or Lindsay, making it unclear whether or not Izzy would have originally been the one eliminated if the RCMP had not shown up, though it was likely that she would have, due to the fact that Lindsay did not seem to do anything to upset the team or lose the challenge, while Izzy lost the challenge by giving advice to the other team on how to get back to the Island without a boat. However, in later episodes, Chris considers Izzy to have been eliminated that night when he does a recap of all of the losers to the present episode. It makes sense, seeing as how Izzy was one of the main reasons that the Gophers lost the challenge.
However, Izzy returns to the competition (to a dismay of few contestants), crazier than ever, in No Pain, No Game, swinging in on a vine and taking a bite out of a raw fish she had caught. She claims that she had never left the island, but this speech is cut off by Izzy though, so it is unknown what the truth is. Izzy's eccentric personality is even more apparent than before. She even enjoys being electrocuted by eels, and having her face wrapped in poison ivy during a torture challenge. Izzy also seems to know karate, or at least the basics, as she is able to hold her own in a fight against her worst enemy, Chef Hatchet.In Search and Do Not Destroy, Izzy joins Heather's alliance and helps Lindsay to get her key out of a bee hive, although both get her slightly injured. She did know about Heather's plot to break up Trent and Gwen, but she did not participate in it. Her craziness is seen again in this episode, as she doesn't mind that her key is guarded by a snake and we see it wrapped around her head later. Izzy insists that the snake is friendly, even though at this moment it bites her and she passes out.
In Hide and Be Sneaky, Izzy didn't have an official hiding spot, but for the most part followed and mimicked Chef's movements in order to remain out of his vision. Izzy later engaged in a fist fight with Chef when he discovered her hiding in the rafters of the mess hall, due to Izzy's sneeze. Izzy defeats Chef and heads towards the dock, but slips on water and gets eliminated from the challenge. Heather tried to use her to vote off Owen, but Izzy clearly showed hesitation about going through with it. Though it has not been proven, the general consensus is that Izzy did not vote for Owen, as he turned out to be safe from elimination before the final marshmallow was given out.
Izzy builds a bike quickly in the beginning of That's Off the Chain!, and offers to team up with Leshawna. The two ride haphazardly all over the island and are seen in short clips throughout the episode, but formally are later seen at the end, meaning they do not participate in the challenge, allowing themselves to survive elimination.In Hook, Line, and Screamer, Izzy tells Owen that she loves scary movies. Throughout the episode, she and Owen refer themselves in third-person. Owen and Izzy go off on their own in the forest and talk about multiple things, including an occasion when Owen ate one hundred hot dogs in a contest, which Izzy was impressed by. Eventually, Owen realizes they are in a similar situation that occurred in the horror movie challenge, also saying they were making out in the movie. Izzy mentions she and Owen are not making out, and Owen realizes that she is right. After a short pause, Izzy asks Owen if he wants to make-out with her, and then they do so behind a bush. While they are, Chef Hatchet, who was pretending to be the killer, arrives at the scene. He chases after the two, and when Owen accidentally falls off a cliff and hits many hard, sharp objects on his way down, Izzy intentionally does the same thing. Owen pushes Izzy into the killer so he could get away, but Izzy gets mad at Owen for running off and leaving her to "die." She punches Owen in the face for doing so, but despite being angry at Owen, Izzy seems to eventually forgive him before long.
Izzy is officially voted off in Wawanakwa Gone Wild! after the campers each had to hunt for a randomly-chosen animal as their challenge. She was supposed to catch a deer, but despite saying she has excellent aim, Izzy ends up shooting anything that wasn't a deer with a tranquilizer gun, including Chef, Heather (thinking she was a deer because of the deer antlers Duncan made her wear), a plane, and a unicorn. When eliminated, Izzy acts calm and casual, saying that everyone has to go sometime. Owen offers to make out with her to "cushion the blow," but Izzy ignores him. She grins and bids the others farewell, saying "Good night everybody, thanks for coming out!" She then throws down a smoke bomb and vanishes. This action actually backfires on Heather, since she and Izzy were the only two campers to not catch an animal. When Izzy was eliminated, Heather was technically the only camper on the island who failed to catch an animal, meaning she had to clean the communal washrooms; however, she did manage to get Duncan to do it for her due to their temporary alliance.
Izzy is shown swimming in the pool at Playa Des Losers in Haute Camp-ture with the other campers who have been eliminated. Izzy is still up to her usual antics, such as biting people underwater and teasing Noah about the fact that he kissed Cody during the challenge that took place in The Big Sleep. She also disgusted some of the characters (such as Katie, Sadie, Noah, and Lindsay) after peeing in the pool, but insisting it was OK as it was chlorinated. Izzy also says that if she were Gwen, Trent "would be seriously maimed" for the kissing Heather incident. She reveals to the audience that she finds Heather to be a "total psycho" and is one of the many campers who accidentally voted Leshawna off the island simply by mentioning her name.
In the season finale, Izzy returns to the island with the other losers to watch Owen and Gwen compete in the final challenge that would determine the winner. She rooted for Owen even before he promised to throw the others a giant party on a yacht if he were to win, most likely due to their on and off relationship. When the challenge starts, she is seen constantly encouraging Owen, but it is sometimes quite savage, where Owen points out in a confessional "she scares him a little." As the challenge goes on, Izzy and Lindsay see that Owen is losing and are determined to not let that happen, so they use brownies to cause Owen to charge at top speed towards the finish line. Izzy gets crushed by Owen as he reaches the finish line, but she is still happy for him and he gives her hugs and kisses.
In the special, Izzy seems to have gotten over Owen (as her personality causes her to only like a boy for a minute before being ready to toss him off a cliff) and their romantic relationship seems to have been put on hold, though Owen still believes he may be in love with her. During the special challenge, she teams up with Eva and Noah to get the case containing one million dollars. They get the case, but she and Eva were manipulated into giving it to Justin. The three of them managed to get back at Justin (with a bucket of fish and chum) and Izzy managed to grab the case, though she tripped and dropped it. Izzy was soon caught in the stampede of people and was one of the fourteen people to go on to Total Drama Action, though neither Eva nor Noah were able to join her. Izzy unofficially renames herself "Kaleidoscope" in the special, wanting her peers to refer to her as "E-Scope" for short. This new identity Izzy created would play a significant role in her plans for the new competition.
Total Drama Action
During the early episodes of Total Drama Action, Izzy constantly refers to herself as "E-Scope" and gets mad at anyone who calls her "Izzy" (she even flipped Owen over when he accidentally called her Izzy). Izzy seems to be comfortable with the challenges, claiming to have had experienced challenges like these before, such as getting abducted by aliens. After her first elimination, Izzy abandons her E-Scope identity (although she later starts to take on others). Throughout the season, Owen tries to get back into a relationship with her and get her attention; though he fails due to Izzy getting distracted by other things (like the mechanical monster). However, the two do still hang out together and interact often. After Izzy returns to the game and abandons her E-Scope identity, the two quickly wind up together as a couple. The two remain a couple, until they are separated by Izzy's second elimination. Owen was eliminated shortly after Izzy, and they are presumed to be reunited off screen.Izzy arrives at the studio with the other cast members. She is the only one not to get on the trolley train (until Owen calls her "Kaleidoscope" and urges her to get on, to which she flips her way onto the trolley). Izzy and the rest of the cast are immediately drawn into the first challenge, which is escaping from a giant robotic monster (controlled by Chef). Izzy is the first one to be captured. She is quickly dropped into the holding cell, and soon she is joined by the other castmates (except for Owen, who broke the machine due to his enormous weight). While the other castmates are waiting for Owen to get to the trailers, Izzy apparently goes on a date with the robotic monster. Izzy and the other girls get to stay in the non- crushed trailer (but then it is also crushed by Chef's robot, causing Izzy to quickly get over the monster). After Chef fixes up the trailers, the bunk arrangements are assigned and Izzy initially shares a bunk bed with Leshawna, though the arrangements prove to be inconsistent from episode to episode, leaving Izzy with her own bunk bed most of the time.
During Alien Resurr-eggtion, Izzy reveals that she has been abducted by aliens many times and even has a broken tracking chip in her neck, that only shocks her when she lies. Izzy duels with Chef during the challenge using large paintball cannons, and though she fights hard, she is eventually defeated. Izzy falls to the floor as if she'd been fatally wounded, which causes Chef to worry that he killed her. However, she jumps up and shows to be completely unharmed and the two have a friendly laugh about it (to which Chris gets upset because of the lack of gore).In Riot On Set, Izzy is the final cast member chosen for Trent's team, the Killer Grips. In their first challenge, Izzy offers to play the role of the old lady, insisting that she is the reincarnation of her great-grandmother, Mavis. Because of Chef's mishap with the scripts, Izzy winds up delivering a painful portrayal of a gangster, forgetting her lines and instead telling the viewers she can flip her eyelids. This gaffe causes the Killer Grips to lose the first challenge and she is voted off that night. At first she refuses to go, claiming she is not Izzy, but actually E-Scope. However, after Chris changes her name on the voting results sheet, she is escorted to the Lame-o-sine, where she shouts out that she will get a star on the Walk of Fame one day.
Izzy appears in The Aftermath: I, where she joins the other "losers" on a special talk show titled "Total Drama Aftermath," hosted by Bridgette and Geoff. Izzy comes on as a special guest along with Trent (who had just been eliminated in the previous episode). She enters after eating some crackers and grapes, accidentally spits out some crumbs, then quickly stuffs them into her shirt and walks onstage. She eats them as she reveals on the show that she once had a boyfriend named "Graham Cracker" who she got a restraining order from. She also reveals that she got an electric chip placed in her neck that goes off at the first sign of dishonesty. She tells Bridgette and Geoff that Chef wanted to make a secret alliance with her, but she didn't accept the offer. Throughout the show, she constantly teases Geoff and Bridgette for being the first two eliminated. During the show, Izzy takes over the position as host for a while after Bridgette gets mad at Geoff for calling Heather "hot." Once Trent comes on stage, Izzy becomes a "guest" again, and Izzy and Trent have surprising interactions with each other. The two appear to be very close, as they are often seen talking or looking at each other encouragingly or questioningly. Izzy is also touched, and feels sorry when Trent sings his song about Gwen after they broke up, which brings Geoff and Bridgette back together.
In The Chefshank Redemption, Izzy returns to the competition on the technicality that the votes that were cast earlier were for "E-scope" and not Izzy. As of this episode, she has resumed going by the name 'Izzy'. While the Screaming Gaffers were digging an escape tunnel in the challenge, Izzy emerges from the soil from the other side of the tunnel. She tells the team that she was underground living with prairie dogs, and that she would help the Gaffers win the challenge. Heather is surprised that she would help the team that she wasn't originally on, but Izzy told her that she looks at friends and enemies differently from her time underground. After they emerge from the ground, they see that the Killer Grips already won. Izzy cheers and says that it's better to be on the winning team as she joins her former team. She later shares a romantic moment with Owen in this episode as they compare each other to desserts. The sweet talk continues as Izzy compares Owen to a banana split with a lot of split.
In The Sand Witch Project, Izzy's newly revived relationship with Owen becomes strained as she gets incredibly annoyed at how he is constantly saying everything she does is cute (including her scary face). However, they are later forced to make out during the final round of the challenge and happily enjoy it (losing the challenge in the process), since they are unable to be afraid of anything.
In Masters of Disasters, Izzy's relationship with Owen is back on track as the two of them aid each other in the first part of the challenge. During the first part of the challenge, Owen's jaw is broken by Chef's unpublished manifesto, prompting Izzy to be the first one at his side, and shows deep concern for him throughout the episode. Izzy acts as the informal team captain during the submarine challenge. When Lindsay gets a number code, she doesn't know what it's for until Izzy and Beth learn it's a combination code for the bottom hatch's combination lock. When Lindsay and Justin drop the letter in the water and the ink smears, Izzy freaks out and claims that she's surrounded by loons, to which Lindsay and Justin respond with confusion. Izzy and her team nearly drown until Harold manages to get the bottom hatch of the Gaffers sub open, thus ending the challenge, draining all the water in the submarine, and saving the entire cast.
Izzy creates a new name for herself - "Explosivo" in Full Metal Drama, which is an (apparently male) alter ego of herself, whom she claims is "loco for boom boom," and enjoys explosives. Izzy sometimes refers to herself as "Explosivo" as well as saying that he/she is her friend. Izzy alone sets up the explosives for the second part of the challenge and though she makes a very powerful explosion, it doesn't win since the setup wasn't very creative. After Justin gets his face scratched, he asks Izzy if she thinks he's cute (to which Izzy says she never did). Out of anger, Justin eliminates her when he convinces Beth and Lindsay to vote for Izzy, rather than him. Owen attempts to give Izzy a goodbye kiss, but she gets pulled away by Chef and is brought to the Lame-o-sine off-screen. It is hinted that Izzy may use her new alter ego to return to the competition later in the game.
Izzy returns to the talk show stage in The Aftermath: II, now seated in the VIP section along with Trent. Later in the episode, Izzy apparently falls out of her seat after an intern bumps her with fan mail, but it is shown that the "Izzy" that fell out of the chair was a standee. The real Izzy then swings in on a vine, attempting to get back a guest spot (but can't due to already having one done so in the last Aftermath). She refers to herself as "Esquire" now. Bridgette then calls in Chef to take her away, but Izzy lures Chef into a piranha pit that Geoff originally set up for Gwen. After dunking Chef in, Izzy escapes off the stage.
Izzy has a small role in The Aftermath: III, now seated in the peanut gallery. When Owen comes out with a large amount of food, Izzy jumps on his shoulders and eats a drumstick he had been carrying. She stays on Owen's head for about half his time on the couch, then she does a somersault and hops back into her seat next to Eva.
Izzy appears along with the rest of the commentators in Mutiny on the Soundstage, gasping at the fact that Beth and Duncan tied for first place.
During The Aftermath: IV, Izzy is asked who she will vote for to win the million. Izzy states she just rented a cool break dance DVD and says the best dancer in a dance off will get her vote (which is a lie, as she later votes for herself). Duncan and Beth start the dance off, but Chris cuts them off, saying they should do more dancing on the show. When it comes time to vote, Izzy is the only person to not vote for either Beth or Duncan, instead casting a vote for Explosivo. As a result, Chris just throws her vote aside.
In Celebrity Manhunt's Total Drama Action Reunion Special, it's revealed that after Total Drama Action, Izzy's acting skills landed her a major career starring in a large number of Hollywood movies. However her career ended when she went on a profanity-laden tirade against her director of photography one day on the set. She later fed long time Total Drama fan Sierra secrets about her former castmates in an attempt to earn money (which she used to pay off the RCMP). She reunites with everyone at the Red Carpet show, but is left out by Chris, who plans to start a new reality show. Izzy uses her skills to get in, but comes out of the place with popcorn and forgets to let everyone in as the door closes. Chris heads for New York to begin a new reality show, and Izzy teams up with the rest of the teenagers (with DJ's mom and Sierra) in DJ's bus to stop Chris from reaching New York to begin his new reality show. Along the way, the bus winds up falling off a cliff (due to Courtney's distracted driving). While some of the teens go off to find help, Izzy and the others are rescued by Chris. Chris reveals that this was all a test to see if they still had it in them, and announces a third season. Though they refuse, the offer of one million dollars changes their minds, and Izzy proceeds to Total Drama World Tour.
Total Drama World Tour
In Walk Like An Egyptian - Part 1, Izzy arrives to the airport after Ezekiel. She becomes very excited when stepping off and jumps on Ezekiel's shoulders, which causes both of them to tumble to the ground, eventually also tripping Bridgette and Tyler in the process. They are all helped up by Alejandro. Izzy shows to be a bit attracted to him when she first sees him. Later, during the "Come Fly With Us" musical number, Izzy popped up out of the baggage compartments, singing about her "crazy tunes" and crazily jumped out of the plane, but she still appeared with the others at the end of the song inside the plane. In the "Pyramid Over Under" challenge, Izzy forms a trio with Noah and Owen and says that she knows how to find the right way, by licking her finger, pointing it in the air and figuring out which direction the air flow goes, also adding that the sand in the air really crunches in her teeth. Finally, she chooses the "scary mummy" way. She finds some mummy bandages and asks Noah and Owen to dress her up. Noah and Owen were unable to find Izzy after helping her and while she was scaring other contestants. Somehow during the challenge, Izzy got lost, and ran into Heather, Cody and Sierra, who thought she was a real mummy. Izzy tried to do another musical number, about her "being awesome as Frankenstein's bride," but couldn't due to the trio running away. It was revealed by Noah, that Izzy's strategy for her trio with him and Owen was to "run around in circles," due to the fact that she smelled something lucky, which turned out to be Owen's gas. Later, Izzy runs out of the pyramid after Noah and Owen, with Ezekiel in her arms because she mistook him for an actual mummy. Izzy and Ezekiel are the last to finish the challenge and Izzy is then put on Team Amazon, with Heather, Gwen, Courtney and Cody.
In Walk Like An Egyptian - Part 2, Izzy quickly joins her team in the camel race challenge, taking a seat at the throat of the camel. After taking part in the musical number "Lovin' Time," Izzy tries to guide the team's camel with "camel talk." However, they wind up getting lost, but eventually they manage to make it to the Nile River just as Sierra starts weaving a basket boat out of reeds. Due to Owen being on Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot and Sierra wishing to be with Cody, Izzy swaps teams with Sierra (causing Sierra to quickly make a boat for Team Amazon and leave the one for Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot only half completed). Izzy's team manages to finish their boat first, but upon Alejandro's command to talk to the camel, she commands it to move onto the boat. Team Amazon wins the challenge, but since both teams brought their rewards, they are safe from elimination.
In Super Happy Crazy Fun Time Japan, Izzy is seen with her team and Team Victory in the economy class and with all the contestants when Chris reveals they are going to Japan. She joins the rest of the cast in the musical number "Before We Die," and ends up falling in the giant bowl of rice like everyone else. When Alejandro offers himself to do the challenge and Chris throws Alejandro's panda bear on him, Izzy demonstrates that she thought it was cute the way he treated the Chinese animal. Her team wins the first challenge, as she is seen with them celebrating Alejandro's victory over the other teams, and a head start advantage to get props for their sushi commercial. Izzy votes for Owen to play the giant spider monster, and she plays a soldier with her other teammates. During filming, she accidentally says Owen is so hot, instead of acting scared, making her teammates look at her oddly. She then joins the others in their own musical number for the commercial. Though their commercial impresses the rest of the cast, the victory goes to Team Amazon due to Cody and Sierra quickly mixing a fast paced musical commercial that impresses Chef. Once again they aren't up for elimination, but as well they don't get to stay in the winner's cabin.In Anything Yukon Do, I Can Do Better, Izzy joins her team in the Yukon for the next challenge. Izzy and Tyler are the first ones of their team to complete the first challenge and reach their sleigh for the second part of the challenge. Izzy is the first to notice that the cargo is radioactive (though she thinks the symbol is a speaker to a radio). As Tyler takes the position of the dog, Izzy dives into the box to search for the radio (only to find that there isn't one) and is quickly exposed to the radiation (although she doesn't seem to notice or care). She and Tyler soon pick up Noah, followed by Owen. She complains to Noah that someone took their radio and he shows concern of her radioactivity. After picking up Alejandro and nearly falling off a cliff, her team ends up getting the win and she high-fives Noah in celebration. In the first class cabin in Broadway, Baby!, Izzy is getting a massage. She admires how adorable Owen looks sleeping, only to have him fall on the floor and reveal a crushed Noah. Later on in the episode, when the teams must climb to the Statue of Liberty, Izzy immediately begins climbing and claims to be a rabid monkey. She is one of the first to reach the top from her team and also gets the baby carriage. She then rushes down the fireman pole to continue the challenge. At the end of the apple bobbing challenge, she is excited, thinking that her team wins. But when they look into the baby carriage, there is a real baby rather than Noah who is supposed to be in it. This makes Izzy think that Noah regressed into a baby. They have to go back to get him and end up losing the challenge. Since it's a reward, her and her team were safe from elimination.
Izzy appears in a "That's Gonna Leave a Mark" segment of Aftermath: Bridgette Over Troubled Water, she attempts to protect her camel by fighting Chef in hand to hand combat. Chef uses a frying pan to protect himself from Izzy's attacks. Surprisingly she even uses a "third arm," while using her "Egyptian style." She manages to defeat him with a flying kick through the air, then the camel sits on his face and Izzy tickles his feet.
In Slap Slap Revolution, Izzy participates in the challenge, but doesn't do very much to help her team. During the sausage sledding challenge, Izzy starts to yodel in the meat grinder, but is pulled out by Alejandro who gives her over to Noah. She sleds down with the rest of her team on Owen after he eats all their meat. Her team wins the first part of the challenge, but she doesn't compete in the second part of the challenge in an attempt to make it more fair for Team Victory (even though it still wasn't fair in the end).
In The Am-AH-Zon Race, Izzy was first seen in the loser class and ducked when Owen went crazy. She didn't do much in the challenge, but when it came time to the zipline she put Noah in a backpack and slid down. She made a shopping list for the things Noah was listing in order to make the nachos Owen wanted. She had to wait for Owen when they arrived at Machu Picchu. She was later last seen running away when her team lost the challenge when Owen pulled up a pillar and destroyed the place.In Can't Help Falling in Louvre, Izzy is first seen in the cockpit confessional, pushing random buttons on the plane's controls. The others listen to her talking by the speakers, faking a captain accent, until Chef got the speakers and said everyone to hold in something, because the plane was going to crash in a pool in Paris. When reaching there she got ejected out of the plane, happily sinking in the water, while still stuck to a chair. During the challenge, she is told by Alejandro that they are going up against Chef in a game of "Statue Bingo" to motivate her to find the statue pieces, which works. She is later seen catching the mummified dog that DJ had dropped, she then hurls it at the ground like a football, yelling "Touch down!" effectively breaking it, and then doing a victory dance.
Izzy is first seen sleeping on the floor of the loser class in Newf Kids on the Rock. During the rowing challenge, her task is to catch the seafood as the teams were told that those who catch seafood will get a reward. She excitedly catches a lobster and welcomes it to the "Izzy Cruise," even saying it to tell his friends. The lobster attempts to attack Izzy with his claws, but he didn't succeed. She gets mad, but after calling him "snappy," she laughs it off. She gasps when Owen takes the lobster from her hand and asked for butter, in order to eat it. While singing Sea Shanty Mix, Tyler pointed that even being a nut-bar, she certainly knows how to catch a fish as she is seen with a very large fish that she dances with (that she also caught) and she sings about how her new partner is Irish. Her team is the second to arrive. At the final challenge, her task is to drink the apple cider vinegar along with Owen. While Owen is able to drink it down with pleasure, Izzy doesn't take to the taste so well, but is still able to drink it. At the very end of the episode she is seen eating clam chowder along with her team and DJ, since they won the challenge.In Jamaica Me Sweat, Izzy is first seen with Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot and DJ getting a spa treatment. She tells Owen the chairs are spring loaded, but when she shows him what she means, she accidentally kicks Owen in the groin. It makes him think about breaking up with her. Owen tells Noah about his plans to break up with Izzy, but he states he still likes her as she was seen upside down biting an oxygen mask. While the plane is falling Owen attempts to talk to her about their relationship, but she jumps out of the plane in a parachute, friendly saying that he would have to catch her first, while the wind dragged Owen along with her. She lands safely on the beach, on Owen's groin, and she states that her landing was perfect, not causing even a scratch until the plane lands on her and Owen. She is taken to the infirmary and wakes up with Owen mourning and saying she getting hurt was his fault. However, a doctor notes that there was a clog in her brain that was fixed when the plane landed on her, and as Izzy awakens, she turns out to be very intelligent, even to the point where she finds the answer to time traveling. The army then arrived to take her for treatment. While she was leaving, Owen stated that he didn't want Izzy to go, not even understanding why he did ever wanted to break up with her, but Izzy explained they are totally incompatible, but says goodbye to him as she is taken away by the army, thus removing her from the competition. Later, Owen sings about her in "Oh My Izzy" and how he missed her so much.
Izzy appears in Aftermath: Revenge of the Telethon as "Brainzilla," her new super-genius persona. Aside from wearing Izzy's regular outfit, Brainzilla wears a pair of half-rim eyeglasses with a lime-green optical tint. Brainzilla also wears her hair up in a bun. She refers to people as "carbon-based life forms," and she refers to herself in third person. She revealed that she was making "cracking" progress on her time machine, as well as coming close to patenting a doughnut-maker that could fit in someone's purse. Geoff sets Brainzilla up to play a brand-new aftermath segment, Brain-Blast. She is "blitzed" with skill-testing questions that are harder depending on the size of the donation. One wrong answer and her straps will unlock, sending her into shark-infested water.
As soon as they start the challenge, numerous calls start coming in. She answers all the questions correctly, which include: major geography, brutal currency exchange, and impossible math. Throughout the segment, Brainzilla constantly blurbs out random facts backing up her genius. Before she can continue the round however, the wheel breaks and rolls off-set, causing Brainzilla to seemingly snap back into old Izzy. Izzy then makes her way over to a large bomb which she has to defuse, with the peanut gallery suspended above the shark-tank. Izzy then hits the bomb with a hammer rather than actually trying to defuse it, blowing up the set as well as everyone in it. Izzy's silhouette is later seen knocked through the plasma screen, most likely severely injured.
Izzy is mentioned in The EX-Files when Heather directs a confessional at her, informing Izzy that she's been replaced by Courtney in terms of insanity to eliminate Gwen from the competition.
Izzy appears in Aftermath Aftermayhem, now seated in the peanut gallery. She doesn't do much throughout the episode, though she does get a can of peanuts in an attempt to return to the competition. However, it's a normal peanut can and thus she isn't able to compete in the game, but she does happily enjoy the peanuts.
Izzy appears in Hawaiian Style, where she is seen sitting among the other ex-contestants in the new peanut gallery.
Izzy appears in Hawaiian Punch with the rest of the eliminated ex-contestants. She is also seen later laughing at Chris along with the other contestants. Later, Izzy is seen swimming away from the island as it becomes covered in lava when the volcano erupts.
Total Drama: Revenge of the Island
In Bigger! Badder! Brutal-er!, Izzy appears on the yacht with the other veterans en route for Camp Wawanakwa. She is seen hanging upside-down over the edge of the yacht with one life preserver on her head and twirling another one in her hand while Noah watches her with a dull appearance.
Izzy's brief cameo appearance is in Finders Creepers, dressed up in a spider costume, stalking the new contestants. Eventually, she catches eight of them, but Cameron becomes infuriated and attacks her out of self-defense, eventually destroying the costume and revealing her identity. Later, during the elimination ceremony, it is revealed that she has kidnapped Chef and is repeatedly shooting him with small plungers from a bow, while dressed up as a Native Canadian.
Total Drama All-Stars
Izzy appears in Suckers Punched, still dressed in a spider costume. She was intended to be the opponent for Cameron but Chris promised a random chance so she fought Mal (Mike) instead. Izzy was able to sense something odd about Mike and describes him having a sweet center with a poisonous outside. She also manages to hear Mike from inside Mal but is swiftly defeated before she can figure out his secret.
Audition tapes
- View this video for Izzy's first audition tape.
- View this video for Izzy's second audition tape.
Unlike the other contestants, Izzy had two audition tapes.
In her first audition tape, she is hanging upside down on the monkey bars and is speaking in backwards sentences ("Izzy is name my!, freaky being enjoy I!" would be "My name is Izzy!, I enjoy being freaky.") She flips onto the ground and says she can roll her eyes up in her head and double joint her elbows (she reveals during the talk show of Total Drama Action that she is double jointed after a critical injury to her elbow). She then says she can wrap her tongue around her head before the camera falls over. Izzy then picks it up and says some last words before her mom calls her and Izzy yells back at her.
In Izzy's second audition tape she stated that she was loyal and smart (maybe even a genius, according to her) and then started twirling a fire baton. However, it sets off the sprinklers and the smoke detector. She then apologizes to her mother.
- While most of the cast of Total Drama Island appeared in Camp TV, Izzy was one of the four campers not to appear in it. The others are Noah, Courtney, and Heather.
- Izzy is responsible for causing Total Drama Action, as she dropped the case, causing it to fall into the shark's reach.
- Izzy is one of six contestants to have been confirmed to date someone not on the show. The others being Beth, Justin, Trent, Sam, and Sky.

- "Kaleidoscope/E-Scope" is first seen in Total Drama, Drama, Drama, Drama Island, and last seen in The Aftermath: I.
- "Explosivo" is first seen in Full Metal Drama and last seen in The Aftermath: IV.
- "Esquire" is first, and only, seen in The Aftermath: II.
- "Brainzilla" is first seen in Jamaica Me Sweat and last seen in Aftermath: Revenge of the Telethon.
- Three of her personas caused her eliminations:
- In Riot On Set, she was voted off because her team was annoyed at her insisting that she be called E-Scope.

- Even though Izzy has currently left the show five times, she has never followed the correct procedure of leaving as:
- The first time, in Up the Creek, it is unknown whether or not she was actually voted off, as she was chased off by the RCMP before the final marshmallow was given out.
- The second time, in Wawanakwa Gone Wild!, instead of boarding the Boat of Losers, she disappeared in a puff of smoke.
- The third time, in Riot On Set, she was dragged into the Lame-o-sine by two interns.

- The fifth time, in Jamaica Me Sweat, she was removed from the game by the army after receiving outstanding intelligence.

ESSEX, Vt. (AP) — A Vermont woman considers her pigs to be pets, but town officials say they're farm animals and have no business living in a residential neighborhood.
The zoning board in Essex has given Florence Gruber and Alan Tsefrekas until Jan. 22 to remove an estimated 30 to 40 miniature potbellied pigs from their home.
Gruber told the board Thursday that her pigs use litter boxes and that the adult animals weigh 50 to 100 pounds. She's given them names like Larry, Nadia, Olive and Snow White Sleepy Girl.
The Burlington Free Press reports that neighbors told the board that the pigs must go.
Gruber says the pigs are up for adoption.

|sun; dry; fields, prairies, along roads
|Bloom season:
|June - September
|Plant height:
|1 to 3 feet
Pick an image for a larger view. See the glossary for icon descriptions.
Detailed Information
Densely packed spike clusters of ½-inch purple to blue-violet flowers, sometimes rose pink or white. Each flower has 5 petals fused at the base. The flowers bloom from the bottom of the spike up.
Leaves and stem:
Coarsely toothed leaves 2 to 3 inches long covered with dense hairs, generally oval and pointed on both ends; opposite attachment at the stem with no leaf stem. The main stem is square and may be a reddish color. Leaf color may be yellowish green.
Notes:Hoary Vervain tends to grow in clumps.

Very common pasture weed!
on: 2013-06-29 21:27:35
I raise it in my prairie in my backyard. I moved it with me when I moved up here from the farm 11 years ago. It really took over when I first moved and I called Prairie Moon (my original source) to find out why. Turns out my prairie wasn't dense enough to keep it from becoming "invasive". I spent the next summer pulling as much of it up as I could. Filled in the prairie with other natives and now it's fairly tame. Of course, if I find it in places where I don't want it I still just yank it. It's not like it's going to disappear. It looks really nice with native yarrow (Achillea), Swamp Milkweed (Asclepsis incarnata) and Cone Flower (Echinacea).

So, you have written your latest, greatest Liberty Basic program, and you want to get it out there on the web and share it with the world. If you are a bit confused about what to do next, here comes the definitive guide to publishing on the web. This article relies heavily on various web sources and is more of a road map to get you where you need to go.
Let's look at the stuff you are going to need:
Everyone wants to get right into it, so here a great place to start: Mozilla Suite, which comes with Composer. Composer is a top notch WYSIWYG website creation tool. It is perfect for the first time web wrangler to get a site put together. Download the Mozilla suite here:
To get you off and going, you will some guidance on getting a website put together. A great tutorial that covers the basics of working with Composer is just a click away. Grab it off the web and be on your way to creating your first website, once you have downloaded Mozilla and installed it. The tutorial is here:
Getting a site together is often more than just throwing a few words and a couple links onto a blank page and hoping people will come and use it. It takes planning, strategy and good design to be successful. "WEBalley" has tutorials, examples and links to tools. It concentrates more on the classic web development techniques of hand coding your site, but much of the information applies no matter what tool you choose to build your site. Check it out here:
"Web Authoring that Works" is a fantastic web development site that is as good as a book. This site specializes in the soft side of web design - what makes a good website, not how to code the website. Here is what the authors say about their site:
I can not recommend this site enough - check them out here:
Although aimed at the business audience, this next site encompasses the entire process of developing for the web, publishing, bringing in people - along with insights into getting help, advanced design and much more. There are a lot of really great ideas here for anyone aiming to set up a space on the web, whether commercial in nature or just for fun. Go here to get the skinny:
The tutorial at "webRightNow" is, for the most part, filled with good information that spans the entire spectrum of the subject matter of web publishing - from the first thoughts of "I need a website" through choosing a host, to creating content (the website itself). One thing to remember is that the site is aimed at selling hosting services on their partner site, and has a slight spin in that direction. Considering this, the content is very, very good and well worth reading. They suggest many things to consider when selecting a host, and the site development information is good and well presented. They are on the web at:
"webRightNow" also features a very nice, very in depth set of articles focusing strictly on beginning to learn HTML. Although I like to create my websites with a WYSIWYG style web editor, this is another great way to get your website off the ground. The tutorial is available here:
Also note, while visiting "webRightNow", that they feature additional articles about themes, using fonts, drawing people to your site, search engines and more. This is a rich site with a lot of content for the "would be" web publisher. See it all here:
There are so many really great resources out there for learning to create web pages. This is one that has been in continuous development since 1994. It takes the user through the process of creating a website about volcanoes (can anyone say Mount St. Helens?) in native HTML code. This site deals with design and coding and leaves the less tangible items (like: hosting, usability, organization, promotion, etc) to others. The content is aimed at educators, and is fantastic. What is more, the entire tutorial can be downloaded onto your computer and completed off-line. There is an easy to print version too. If you plan to create interesting websites using HTML you owe it to yourself to take a look at this offering:
Let me mention one more resource (there are literally hundreds out there) for learning to code in HTML. This is a free downloadable ebook on the subject. I have read this book, and it is pretty good, developing from basically no knowledge of HTML and finishing with thorough coverage of tables. The ebook is in pdf format. The author summarizes the contents like this:
As a free resource it is well worth the few seconds to download. It does feature a prominent add at the head of each section telling about a paid email course for advanced web design. Get the ebook here:
So you know a bit about putting together, creating a strategy and publishing your webpage. You might even be comfortable with HTML, but are you committing major design errors? Good design is just as important as the actual production. What to build and how it should look, not to mention - what to do and not do when creating your website.
There are several pages that offer sage advice to would be web-wranglers. Here is a short list of my favorites:
Ten tips for Webmasters has to lead my list. Everyone who publishes should see this:
Legal concerns extend into the ether - trust me. Copyright is one of the biggies. This site has Ten Tips for Webmasters concerning publishing content that is not your own. It should be required reading for every website creator:
The title if this site pretty much says it all - Art and the Zen of web sites What a fantastic site of page after page (after page…) of things to consider when creating your web site. It is packed full of wise bits of information that no web publisher should miss. This one too should be required reading for anyone coming to the web for the first time. What's more, it is funny - studded with humorous little quotes throughout the many pages - such as this one:
"Text may be a very rich medium, but it looks boring on the screen. It doesn't flash and hop about, so it had to give way to things that did." - Douglas Adams
Don't miss this site!
Tools are an important part of creating web pages - luckily you do not need to spend a lot of money to get a good tool set together. You can, in fact, create nearly any page with a simple editor like notepad, although this is the hard way to go. You may appreciate some of the more advanced tools that are tailored to web page creation. I have put together a short round up of mostly freeware applications that you can use to do the job.
1st Page 2000, version 2.0 - a dedicated HTML editor that is streamlined to create fast, clean code. It is free and fairly easy to use. Here is what the authors say about their product:
Evrsoft 1st Page 2000 helps you write, edit and improve your HTML, its powerful tools let you author websites faster, easier and better! Most new builders don't realize the time they're losing by relying on traditional based text editors like WindowsTM Notepad to author their sites. Whether you're a beginner or an HTML guru you'll find 1st Page 2000 great to use!
Front Page Express - WYSIWYG web design tool released by Microsoft in the mid 1990's is a quick and easy tool for creating websites. Microsoft included this as a component that could be installed along with Internet Explorer up through version 5.01. Beginning with IE 5.5, it was dropped. Microsoft does not make it available at their site any longer unfortunately, as it has entered the realm of abandonware. This is too bad, as it was a nice editor for quick and simple websites.
I found that the installer for Frontpage Express can still be located by doing a search on Google (search for: frontpage express download). The user should beware however, as Microsoft does not condone distribution of their software by third parties without consent. You options are to get an option pack for NT 4.0, get an install for IE versions 4.0 - 5.01 (software CD's from Microsoft from the late 1990s almost all contain some version of IE, many with Front Page Express), or search it out on the web.
Of course I began the article by mentioning Mozilla.org's Composer that is part of the Mozilla suite. It is a very nice, free WYSIWYG web page editor. Get it here:
A nice wizard based website creator is EZ Sitemaker. It creates a website by asking the user questions about their site in a simple wizard. It comes with just two templates, but allows you to modify the templates, increasing the possibilities. I was able to create a test site in just ten minutes. It is offered by ImageLink Inc, and is a free download from here:
An HTML based WYSIWYG web page editor is available in the form of a program called ProtPad. It is not quite as smooth to use as say FrontPage Express, but offers a nice interface and creates good, basic sites. All the tools are there, and this is a nice thin choice if you are creating light weight web sites. Get it from xtort.net (a strange bunch of folks, but brilliant programmers) right here:
The final product is another very nice WYSIWYG editor. It is a bit funky to get used to the design concept, but this program produces some really nice sites. It features some 20 or so templates from which to create your website. The original program is written in German (I think) and then apparently translated to English. The German influence adds to the program unusual feel. Over all it is a very sound web page creator. It is called Zeta Producer. If you install on a pre-Window 2000 system you will need some extras (like the latest release of ADO) to get it going. Additionally, the freeware version is a feature limited (although not time limited) release of the commercial version. It requires you register once you install the application. Over all, it seems pretty sound. You can get it here:
I have concentrated on mostly freeware tools in this article, but there are some trailware/commercial programs that bear mention. One of them is the W3IDE written by Liberty Basic's own Scott Bannon of BanPRO hosting. If I am correct, Scott wrote most of this application using Liberty Basic. It is an excellent editor with many advanced features. You can get a trialware version here:
You know once the website is done, you are going to need somewhere to put it. Free website hosting is getting to be very rare these days. There are a few solutions, and I will go over these here. You may need to consider a low cost host to get the features you need.
Let's talk about the features you might want in a host -
You may also be interested in other features over time, such as CGI support, Scripts, PHP support, Perl Support, Email accounts and Database services (like MySQL).
Web hosts (especially free hosts) come and go quickly, and a concise list would not remain current very long. Do a GOOGLE search on "Free Web Hosts" to find some options when you begin your project. Let me mention as you search for a free host, look for one who puts the least amount of ads and pop-ups on your free site you create. These things turn off potential visitors and will only work against you.
As an alternative for actual links to free website hosts, here are a couple very good directories of free hosts:

I have used and like FREEWEBS as a free host. They impose very little on you, only requiring a single line on your page identifying your site as a FREEWEBS site. They offer 50Mb of web space and an easy policy to work within. They have one thing that makes it difficult - you must upload your site ONE file at a time. There is a really slick work around:
If you are looking for an economical company to host a non-free website, please consider BanPRO (I hope Scott will not be embarrassed by the plug). Scott Bannon offers a special Liberty Basic package to people who are part of the Liberty Basic Community. You can reach Scott on the Conforums site by accessing his profile:
Once you have a host, you are going to want to get your website you are creating moved over to it. Like I mentioned before, some hosts have integrated file management and file transfer features, and do not allow you to work with other tools to move your website. Freewebs is this way. Others will allow you to connect via FTP and move your website from your local machine to the host. For this you will need an FTP Client.
Internet Explorer has a basic FTP functionality and can be used to move files to your host, manage file permissions and delete files. Access your host by typing your ftp address into the address bar in the following form:
I have a couple other freeware FTP clients that are top notch as well.
RightFTP is a very slick, professional looking FTP client. It features a Windows Explorer look and feel. The developers claim it has a unique queue based engine which allows the client to handle the ftp commands in threaded queues allowing you to work with the client while it transfers files. Get it from the official website at:
Website Publisher is a really great piece of software that will easily publish your site from your local hard disk to your hosted website. It uses FTP to do this, comparing the hosted site with your local site and uploading only the files that have changed. For an easy, one click upload and synchronization, this is the best tool out there. You can download the program from their website at:
A couple other proven FTP clients are WS_FTP from IPSwitch which is a shareware product. You can visit them on the internet at [http://www.ipswitch.com/Products/WS_FTP/home/index.html]. Another popular FTP client is FTP Explorer, which allows you to browse and transfer files to and from a remote host using a windows explorer type interface.

The End for Vonage?
Zonk posted more than 7 years ago | from the ohhh-they-can't-take-it-there dept.296
TheRealSCA writes "The latest in Verizon vs. Vonage is in. The judge has basically stopped Vonage from accepting new customers. From the article: 'A judge issued an injunction Friday that effectively bars Internet phone carrier Vonage from signing up new customers as punishment for infringing on patents held by Verizon. Vonage's lawyers said the compromise injunction posted by U.S District Judge Hilton is almost as devastating as an injunction that would have affected Vonage's 2.2 million existing customers. "It's the difference of cutting off oxygen as opposed to the bullet in the head," Vonage lawyer Roger Warin said.'"

It wasnt so bad though, actually pretty cool, lol I screwed up at the register a few times though, and I have no idea how to use the back room scan gun but its all good, I have to call later today to get my shifts, I dont know them. I still really really want to work at the movie theatre so I am applying there for when they are hiring, but untill then I get the mad Mervyns mombo lol. I dont know why but I really really really want to work at a movie theatre....I know I work in shoes right now, but there is only one thing that can make me happier...and that is working at the movies hell I would live at the theatre if they let me lol.

(6 Think Something Bad is about to happen)
LOL ok so life has def. been crazy as hell here. my computer is still on the fritz so I can only update when I get to school early or stay late AND there is a computer free. We rented a new house, it was the one I was talking about *YAAAH* we got it! I love it, we get to start moving in today, I dont know what room I want yet because I am so excited I dont even remember what it really looked like, but there is a family room that I can put a pool table in so I am looking into that! lol. I got a job at Mervyns Thursday was my first day training/working you know and I work tomorrow from 8-5 as a worker/trainee lol, I actually love it though because get this I WORK WITH SHOES!!!!!!!!!!! lol YES! they let us pick our departments and Shoes had an opening so I snatched that fine ass right up lol, can you tell I am totally STOKED lol to think, me being happy over a job AND christy this is just for you....I didnt come home in tears after the training! I know SCARY huh hehe. its great I get a 15% discount at Mervyns, Marshall Fields or whatever its called (its on the east coast) and Target lol TARGET isnt that great, I could buy a pack of gum for a dollar and get 15% off of it WHOO! Classes are going good, I actually only have to go to one on monday and wed. from 1-3 and then I have drama special projects that I do but that is just designing costumes for the play and I dont actually have to go to all the rehersals for that, Life is looking good guys lol. ok so the add came out in the paper yesterday to try and get someone to rent the house we are currently in and I didnt want to answer the door when someone came because I knew it would be the lil vulture renters that wanted to look at the house so I hid in the bedroom anyway these people start walking around the house and peering in all of the windows to get a better look of the inside I mean come on people my car was outside in the driveway the dogs were in the back yard (that is the only thing that prolly kept them from going in the gate to look in the back windows) barking their asses off and they are peering in my windows. so anyway I grab a hat because I look like shi and I am in my pj's and I walk out into the living room where this lady is peering in my window. I scared the crap out of her to when she saw me. and I went outside to "chat" lol naw I was nice because I thought the whole thing was hella funny, which it was. but yea I think its the same people who are comming tonight to do a walk through of the house, so I have to get home a lil early to uhh clean it up some, it looks like crap because there are piles EVERYWHERE, but I guess that is understandable, we are in the process of moving. So saturday I went to the Mill Creek garage sales Its this huge thing they do twice a year, good fun to got some great steals I found some aws records, a new Beach Boys one that has all of my fav songs on it. it was a good day. there were some HOT guys g-sellin to. anyway I have to do some homework before class, I didnt feel like it this weekend I was celeberating, but I found out that I dont like Bloody Marys (sorry mary) lol but I do like Cap'tn and Diet so thats all good. Oh yea we found a liquor store GO US! lol so we stocked up. but yea I must go. I better be seein the two of you sometime soon! Sha
Ok so I am back lol! I know you all missed me loads and were worried sick about where I was....he he yea right. There is a lot to say, but I cant really think of anything to say...you know how it goes. My computer is still down... I got rid of the virus, but the system is still one some sort of shut down error, so I need to call tech support and figure that out so I can use my computer at home. I am at the campus library right now. Not actually supposed to be doing this sort of thing, but since I am using it for school...well work purposes to they can kiss my ass...they could anyway lol. I started loveyly college last week...it was an interesting week, I ended up dropping my french class on monday because it was a pain in the ass and I didnt want anything that painfull this quarter ya know? yea I though so. I love Theatre though....it is great fun. I am making costumes for this quarters play, I actually tried out to be in the play, of course I didnt make it, but the try outs were really fun so yea, besides now that I see the play I am glad I am not actually in it because it is kinda weird and every actor has to be 4 characters in the play and I think that would be a little overwhelming for my first play. I am going to try out for Much Ado About Nothing though, I like that play. I am still looking for a job, I think this one at Mervyns is going to pull through :)) YA YA! lol wish me luck on that because it would be cool to get that one. but I really want to work at the theatre, they are hiring in november so I will apply then and cross my fingers lol. I am still looking every where for a job though, I really really need one because I have to save money to pay whatever my grants dont for tuition :( and then there is gas money because I am looking at getting a car this weekend and half the insurance for it to.....god when its time to grow up it just hits you fast and hard and you feel so unprepaired! So we are looking at moving again, I really hope the house we want pulls through, we will know at noon today if we get it or not. This place is a little bigger it is 3 bed and a family room and a living room with 1.25 bath and it has a bigger yard for the dogs and a fireplace. I always wanted a fire place. The floors are wood to (well most of them anyway). I should really go though I am going to get kicked out (they are freakin EVIL here lol) I lova you 2 and remember hold on tight, its gonna be a wild ride! love sha!

Written in a clear, accessible style, the book starts with an introduction to key molecular biology techniques and in particular, considers techniques used specifically for cloning animals and generating transgenic animals. Later chapters examine the diverse theoretical, technical and ethical issues raised by cloning and transgenesis in both animals and humans.
Animal Transgenesis and Cloning:
'Chapter one was a tour de force! Very concise and admirably clear ...... I was particularly impressed with the author's 2-page summary of eukaryotic gene regulation, which is no mean achievment!' Dr David de Pomerai, University of Nottingham.
'...... I felt that this is a well written, topical book. It covers a lot of ground ...... in my opinion the author manages to provide a satisfying amount of detail and a well focussed treatment of each topic. I like the logic of the book, the fact that it pulls together all of the issues into one readable and manageable text' Dr Brendan Curran, Queen Mary, University of London.
