"I make the bed and look at the bars that cover the whole prison, the turret with its windows and powerful spotlights. I remember when I told you, "Whatever happens, we'll look up at the sky, the constellation of Orion and the moon, and we'll remember this moment." I think I may have lied to you. From here the spotlights impede the view of the moon and the stars. I close my eyes from fatigue. Sleep enters softly, pleasantly, it surrounds me, until finally I'm in the forests and mountains again, you both look at me and laugh, the little hummingbird points his finger at me, "ile nuna" (look, moon) and I say to him, "Yes son, the moon," and we escape again, and I no longer belong to the prison."

When in Chicago, one must enjoy the best the city has to offer.
And with Big Ten Media Day taking place in the Windy City on Monday, some Big Ten football players decided to take in some Chicago staples.
First came the Indiana Hoosiers, with the trio of linebacker David Cooper, wide receiver Shane Wynn and quarterback Nate Sudfeld opting to ingest the city's finest delicacy: deep dish pizza. The Hoosiers picked Giordano's, and whether that's your preferred pie or not, it's certainly an immeasurable improvement over whatever passes for pizza in Bloomington.
Deep dish pizza in Chicago? Check. #IUFBinCHI pic.twitter.com/VaAhcywpG7

[MORE BIG TEN: California dreamin': Wolverines' Clark has Rose Bowl on brain]
Next, we check in on the Michigan Wolverines, who took in one of Chicago's favorite pastimes: Cubs baseball at Wrigley Field. Now whether you're a Cubs fan or not, you have to agree there are few experiences more Chicago than a ballgame on the North Side. A good pick by these Wolverines: linebacker Jake Ryan, quarterback Devin Gardner and defensive lineman Frank Clark.
After full #B1GMediaDay, @JakeRyan_47, @DevG98 & @UMclark57 are taking in Cubs game tonight #GoBlue pic.twitter.com/Rm30vqzpH2

If the players are looking for another must-do, the Hilton Chicago — the site of Big Ten Media Day — is right across the street from another Chicago institution: Buddy Guy's Legends. Here's hoping a Big Ten player or two took in some of Chicago's signature music along with their pizza and baseball.

I wasn't in the mood for a full ice cream cone so I decided to have a few licks of my wife's chocolate Gelato cone. Wow, it was very rich and creamy. I haven't tasted anything this good since visiting Italy. I can really see why it is considered the best Gelato around.

The Boathouse on Blackwattle Bay: The Boathouse on Blackwattle Bay, in Glebe
The Boathouse is another of those fabulous Sydney restaurants by the water. It is located in a converted boathouse on Blackwattle Bay, with great views towards the city. The interior is all bare wood floors and large windows making the most of its excellent location.
It has been getting consistently good reviews for 10 years now and I finally made it there one evening with Alex and my Mother-in-law (MIL). We were given a fabulous table by the window, and ordered a glass of champagne so we could sit and sip and drink in the views.
Not surprisingly, the Boathouse specialises in seafood. It is the place to do some oyster tasting, as they usually have around a dozen different varieties on offer. You can order the oysters individually which allows for a taste test of several different types if you like. Their signature dish is the Snapper Pie, which everyone seemed to be ordering. It is wheeled out to your table on a trolley and served up for you, with sides of smoked tomato and mashed potato.
Favorite Dish: We started with an assortment of oysters to share. For main course I had the Roast Blue Eye Trevalla, Corn, Snow Pea Leaf & Prawn Butter, Alex had the Steamed John Dory with Yabbie Bourride, Potato & Saffron, and MIL did the honourable thing and had the Snapper Pie. We all had a mouthful and it was delicious - it was certainly the pick of the dishes that night.
Dessert time. For once I couldn't fit anything in. MIL had the Pedro Ximenez Ice Cream, Chocolate Mousse & Coffee Granita which she had no problem in polishing off, declaring it delicious. Alex had the Fig & Drambuie Parfait with Honey Bavarois, which was also enjoyable.
So, we had pretty good food, nice wine, a great table and mostly good service….except for one of the waiters who was very rude and unfortunately, for me anyway, put a bit of a dampener on the evening. Don't let that put you off though, surely he can't keep his job for long with an attitude like that.
The Roxbury: Glebe Restaurants
Fully renovated modern inner city pub.
Cold beer on tap and a fairly extensive menu with really cheap meals for all tastes.

Here you can enjoy a typical home styled cooked Nepalese Food. Momo, sel roti, kwati, chhoila and many other mains like khasi and allo tama bori are always available.
Favorite Dish: You cannot leave without trying the Yeti Roll, the Momos and the Nepalese Bread/Sel Roti - which is in a shape of a large thin donut.
Cafe Badde Manors: Sydney: Coffee Culture Pt 1
My early Sydney cafe days, and there were many, started all here. It's a place I always come back to time and again on my wandering around Sydney. Could it be the faster rotation of the Earth's solid iron core which takes me always back to here or is it the fine coffee and delicious cakes. I think both! This is a most highly recommeded place to go to meet Sydney people who arn't in such a rush! Is that possible in Sydney? You make up your own choice if your one of those lucky buggers who can get there in the near future, when I can't!!!
Favorite Dish: Traditional Austro-Hungarian style cakes, kick-arse coffee and a great post-Glebe markets freak scene.
The BoatHouse on Blackwattle...
The BoatHouse on Blackwattle Bay
at dusk this location is unbeatable. As the sun doens over the city and the sky is tinged with orange and purple, enjoy a glass of champers and some oysters whilen you watch the lights come up on the Anzac Bridge.
An unusual view of Sydney, when night finally falls the effect is dramatic.
Great service and a touch of class and glamour - even Tom Cruise is a regular.
This is a great place for a big night and the service is impeccable.

"This a 4th of July recipe that I made on a rainy holiday. Also perfect for any time."
Serving Size: 1 (332 g)
Servings Per Recipe: 6
"This was very good bbq chicken! I did not make this for a group just me and my husband so I used two chicken breasts instead of the chicken thighs and scaled down the spice and bbq sauce quantities. It was very moist and flavorful! The cinnamon is the secret! It really makes this recipe! Thanks for posting!"
"This was as delicious to eat as it was easy to make. I cut the recipe in half and omitted using the cinnamon... other than that, followed the recipe as written. The chicken was falling off the bone tender... so good! The house smelled fantastic, too. Served with some herbed rice & mixed veggies."
"Very good!!"
"I have gone back to this recipe time and time again and every time I am surprised at just how good this chicken is! Like another reviewer posted, the cinnamon is definitely the secret ingredient--don't waste your time making this if you are going to leave it out. Delish! Thank you for sharing."
"Very good!! Will make this often."


text: Circulation Chapter 42 Campbell 6e 871-886 Circulation in Animals • Transport systems functionally connect the organs of exchange with the body cells. • Diffusion works fine for small, unicellular organisms--- it is not efficient enough for transport over distances of more than a few millimeters. • What types of materials need to be transported by a circulatory system? No Circulatory System • Some animals do not need a circulatory system. • The body plan of a hydra is that of a body wall that is only 2 cells thick. • The gastrovascular cavity serves to distribute substances. • How? Multicellular Circulation • Multicellular animals do not have most of their cells in contact with the external environment and so have developed circulatory systems to transport nutrients, oxygen, carbon dioxide and metabolic wastes. • Components of the circulatory system include • blood: a connective tissue of liquid plasma and cells • heart: a muscular pump to move the blood • blood vessels: arteries, capillaries and veins that deliver blood to all tissues Open Circulatory System • The open circulatory system is common to molluscs and arthropods. • Open circulatory systems (evolved in insects, mollusks and other invertebrates) pump blood into a hemocoel with the blood diffusing back to the circulatory system between cells. • Blood (hemolymph) is pumped by a heart into the body cavities, where tissues are surrounded by the blood. The resulting blood flow is sluggish. Closed Circulatory Systems • Vertebrates, and a few invertebrates, have a closed circulatory system. • Closed circulatory systems (evolved in echinoderms and vertebrates) have the blood closed at all times within vessels of different size and wall thickness. • In this type of system, blood is pumped by a heart through vessels, and does not normally fill body cavities. • Blood flow is not sluggish. • Hemoglobin causes vertebrate blood to turn red in the presence of oxygen; but more importantly hemoglobin molecules in blood cells transport oxygen. • The human closed circulatory system is sometimes called the cardiovascular system. Vertebrate Cardiovascular System • The vertebrate cardiovascular system includes • The heart, which is a muscular pump that contracts to propel blood out to the body through arteries, and a series of blood vessels. • The upper chamber of the heart, the atrium (pl. atria), is where the blood enters the heart. • Passing through a valve, blood enters the lower chamber, the ventricle. • Blood Vessels • Blood Blood Vessels: Arteries • Arteries are blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart. • Arterial walls are able to expand and contract. Arteries have three layers of thick walls. • Smooth muscle fibers contract, another layer of connective tissue is quite elastic, allowing the arteries to carry blood under high pressure. • The aorta is the main artery leaving the heart. • The pulmonary artery is the only artery that carries oxygen-poor blood. The pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood to the lungs. In the lungs, gas exchange occurs, carbon dioxide diffuses out, oxygen diffuses in. • Arterioles are small arteries that connect larger arteries with capillaries. • Small arterioles branch into collections of capillaries known as capillary beds. Capillaries • Capillaries are thin-walled blood vessels in which gas exchange occurs. • In the capillary, the wall is only one cell layer thick. • Capillaries are concentrated into capillary beds. • Some capillaries have small pores between the cells of the capillary wall, allowing materials to flow in and out of capillaries as well as the passage of white blood cells.. • Nutrients, wastes, and hormones are exchanged across the thin walls of capillaries. • Capillaries are microscopic in size, although blushing is one manifestation of blood flow into capillaries. • Control of blood flow into capillary beds is done by nerve-controlled sphincters Veins • Blood leaving the capillary beds flows into a progressively larger series of venules that in turn join to form veins. • Veins carry blood from capillaries to the heart. • With the exception of the pulmonary veins, blood in veins is oxygen-poor. The pulmonary veins carry oxygenated blood from lungs back to the heart. • Venules are smaller veins that gather blood from capillary beds into veins. • Pressure in veins is low, so veins depend on nearby muscular contractions to move blood along. The veins have valves that prevent back-flow of blood. Heart • Humans, birds, and mammals have a 4-chambered heart that completely separates oxygen-rich and oxygen- depleted blood. • Fish have a 2-chambered heart in which a single-loop circulatory pattern takes blood from the heart to the gills and then to the body. • Amphibians have a 3-chambered heart with two atria and one ventricle. A loop from the heart goes to the pulmonary capillary beds, where gas exchange occurs. Blood then is returned to the heart. Blood exiting the ventricle is diverted, some to the pulmonary circuit, some to systemic circuit. – The disadvantage of the three-chambered heart is the mixing of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood. Some reptiles have partial separation of the ventricle. • Other reptiles, plus, all birds and mammals, have a 4-chambered heart, with complete separation of both systemic and pulmonary circuits. • The heart is a muscular structure that contracts in a rhythmic pattern to pump blood. • Hearts have a variety of forms: chambered hearts in mollusks and vertebrates, tubular hearts of arthropods, and aortic arches of annelids. Accessory hearts are used by insects to boost or supplement the main heart's actions. Fish, reptiles, and amphibians have lymph hearts that help pump lymph back into veins. Hearts Vertebrate Heart • The basic vertebrate heart, such as occurs in fish, has two chambers. • An auricle is the chamber of the heart where blood is received from the body. A ventricle pumps the blood it gets through a valve from the auricle out to the gills through an artery. • Amphibians have a three-chambered heart: two atria emptying into a single common ventricle. • Some species have a partial separation of the ventricle to reduce the mixing of oxygenated (coming back from the lungs) and deoxygenated blood (coming in from the body). • Two sided or two chambered hearts permit pumping at higher pressures and the addition of the pulmonary loop permits blood to go to the lungs at lower pressure yet still go to the systemic loop at higher pressures. Human Heart • Establishment of the four-chambered heart, along with the pulmonary and systemic circuits, completely separates oxygenated from deoxygenated blood. • This allows higher the metabolic rates needed by warm-blooded birds and mammals. • The human heart is a two-sided, 4 chambered structure with muscular walls. • An atrioventricular (AV) valve separates each auricle from ventricle. • A semilunar (also known as arterial) valve separates each ventricle from its connecting artery. • The heart beats or contracts 70 times per minute. The human heart will undergo over 3 billion contraction cycles during a normal lifetime. Cardiac Cycle • The cardiac cycle consists of two parts: systole (contraction of the heart muscle) and diastole (relaxation of the heart muscle). • Atria contract while ventricles relax. The pulse is a wave of contraction transmitted along the arteries. Valves in the heart open and close during the cardiac cycle. • Heart muscle contraction is due to the presence of nodal tissue in two regions of the heart. – The SA node (sinoatrial node) initiates heartbeat. – The AV node (atrioventricular node) causes ventricles to contract. • Heartbeat is also controlled by the autonomic nervous system. • Blood flows through the heart from veins to atria to ventricles out by arteries. • Heart valves limit flow to a single direction. • One heartbeat, or cardiac cycle, includes atrial contraction and relaxation, ventricular contraction and relaxation, and a short pause. • Normal cardiac cycles (at rest) take 0.8 seconds. • Blood from the body flows into the vena cava, which empties into the right atrium. • At the same time, oxygenated blood from the lungs flows from the pulmonary vein into the left atrium. • The muscles of both atria contract, forcing blood downward through each AV valve into each ventricle. • Diastole is the filling of the ventricles with blood. • Ventricular systole opens the SL valves, forcing blood out of the ventricles through the pulmonary artery or aorta. • The sound of the heart contracting and the valves opening and closing produces a characteristic "lub-dub" sound. • Lub is associated with closure of the AV valves, dub is the closing of the SL valves. Heartbeats • Human heartbeats originate from the sinoatrial node (SA node) near the right atrium. PACEMAKER • Modified muscle cells contract, sending a signal to other muscle cells in the heart to contract. • The signal spreads to the atrioventricular node (AV node). Signals carried from the AV node, slightly delayed, through bundle of His fibers and Purkinjie fibers cause the ventricles to contract simultaneously. Double Circulation • From Body: (deoxygenated blood flows through Vena cava (anterior and posterior) enter right atrium, to right ventricle, through pulmonary trunk to right and left pulmonary arteries to capillary beds in lungs. • From lungs: oxygenated blood flows through pulmonary veins to left atrium to left ventricle through aorta to tissue capillary beds in body through vena cava to right atrium Pulmonary and Systemic Circulation • In the pulmonary circuit, blood takes up oxygen in the lungs. • In the systemic circuit, oxygenated blood is distributed to body tissues. Diseases of the Cardiovascular System • Cardiac muscle cells are serviced by a system of coronary arteries. • During exercise the flow through these arteries is up to five times normal flow. Blocked flow in coronary arteries can result in death of heart muscle, leading to a heart attack. • Blockage of coronary arteries is usually the result of gradual buildup of lipids and cholesterol in the inner wall of the coronary artery. Occasional chest pain, angina pectoralis, can result during periods of stress or physical exertion. • Angina indicates oxygen demands are greater than capacity to deliver it and that a heart attack may occur in the future. Heart muscle cells that die are not replaced: heart muscle cells do not divide. Heart disease and coronary artery disease are the leading causes of death in the US. • Hypertension, high blood pressure, occurs when blood pressure is consistently above 140/90. Causes in most cases are unknown, although stress, obesity, high salt intake, and smoking can add to a genetic predisposition. Blood • Blood is made up of several components: • Erythrocytes • Leukocytes • Platelets • plasma Plasma • Plasma is the liquid component of the blood. • Plasma is about 60 % of a volume of blood; cells and fragments are 40%. • Plasma has 90% water and 10% dissolved materials including: proteins, glucose, ions, hormones, and gases. • It acts as a buffer, maintaining pH near 7.4. • Plasma contains nutrients, wastes, salts, proteins, etc. • Proteins in the blood aid in transport of large molecules such as cholesterol. Red Blood Cells • Red blood cells, also known as erythrocytes, are flattened, doubly concave cells about 7 µm in diameter that carry oxygen associated in the cell's hemoglobin. • Mature human erythrocytes lack a nucleus. • They are small, 4 to 6 million cells per cubic millimeter of blood, and have 200 million hemoglobin molecules per cell. • Humans have a total of 25 trillion (about 1/3 of all the cells in the body). • Red blood cells are continuously manufactured in red marrow of long bones, ribs, skull, and vertebrae. • Life-span of an erythrocyte is only 120 days, after which they are destroyed in the liver and spleen. • Iron from hemoglobin is recovered and reused by red marrow. • The liver degrades the heme units and secretes them as pigment in the bile, responsible for the color of feces. • Each second 2 million red blood cells are produced to replace those taken out of circulation. White Blood Cells • White blood cells, also known as leukocytes, are larger than erythrocytes, have a nucleus, and lack hemoglobin. • They function in the cellular immune response. • White blood cells (leukocytes) are less than 1% of the blood's volume. • They are made from stem cells in bone marrow. • There are five types of leukocytes, important components of the immune system • White blood cells can squeeze through pores in the capillaries and fight infectious diseases in interstitial areas Five types of WBCs • Neutrophils • Macrophages • Lymphocytes • Eosinophils • Basophils Neutrophils • The most abundant of the WBCs. • Neutrophils squeeze through the capillary walls and into infected tissue where they kill the invaders (e.g., bacteria) and then engulf the remnants by phagocytosis. • This is a never-ending task, even in healthy people: Our throat, nasal passages, and colon harbor vast numbers of bacteria. Most of these are commensals, and do us no harm. But that is because neutrophils keep them in check Macrophages • Macrophages are large, phagocytic cells that engulf • foreign material (antigens) that enter the body dead and • dying cells of the body. • They release white blood cell growth factors, causing a population increase for white blood cells. Lymphocytes • There are several kinds of lymphocytes (although they all look alike under the microscope), each with different functions to perform . The most common types of lymphocytes are • B lymphocytes ("B cells"). These are responsible for making antibodies. • T lymphocytes ("T cells"). There are several subsets of these: – inflammatory T cells that recruit macrophages and neutrophils to the site of infection or other tissue damage – cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) that kill virus-infected and, perhaps, tumor cells – helper T cells that enhance the production of antibodies by B cells Eosinophils • The number of eosinophils in the blood is normally quite low (0–450/µl). • However, their numbers increase sharply in certain diseases, especially infections by parasitic worms. • Eosinophils are cytotoxic, releasing the contents of their granules on the invader. Basophils • The number of basophils also increases during infection. Basophils leave the blood and accumulate at the site of infection or other inflammation. • There they discharge the contents of their granules, releasing a variety of mediators such as: • histamine • serotonin • prostaglandins and leukotrienes • which increase the blood flow to the area and in other ways add to the inflammatory process. The mediators released by basophils also play an important part in some allergic responses such as • hay fever and • an anaphylactic response to insect stings. Platelets • Platelets result from cell fragmentation and are involved with clotting. • Platelets are cell fragments that bud off megakaryocytes in bone marrow. • They carry chemicals essential to blood clotting. • Platelets survive for 10 days before being removed by the liver and spleen. • There are 150,000 to 300,000 platelets in each milliliter of blood. • Platelets stick and adhere to tears in blood vessels; they also release clotting factors. • A hemophiliac's blood cannot clot. Providing correct proteins (clotting factors) has been a common method of treating hemophiliacs. It has also led to HIV transmission due to the use of transfusions and use of contaminated blood products. • A blood clot is a plug of platelets enmeshed in a network of insoluble fibrin molecules. Lymphatic System • Water and plasma are forced from the capillaries into intracellular spaces. • This interstitial fluid transports materials between cells. • Most of this fluid is collected in the capillaries of a secondary circulatory system, the lymphatic system. • Fluid in this system is known as lymph. • Lymph flows from small lymph capillaries into lymph vessels that are similar to veins in having valves that prevent backflow. • Lymph vessels connect to lymph nodes, lymph organs, or to the cardiovascular system at the thoracic duct and right lymphatic duct. • Lymph nodes are small irregularly shaped masses through which lymph vessels flow. • Clusters of nodes occur in the armpits, groin, and neck. • Cells of the immune system line channels through the nodes and attack bacteria and viruses traveling in the lymph.

Steel reinforcement-bar futures rose for a third day in Shanghai as prices of raw-material iron ore advanced on concern that Australian supplies will be disrupted.
Rebar for May delivery on the Shanghai Futures Exchange gained as much as 0.4 percent to 3,628 yuan ($598) a metric ton and traded at 3,616 yuan at 10:03 a.m. local time.
Iron ore futures in Dalian jumped to the highest since Dec. 17 as shipments of the raw material from northern Australia, the biggest exporter, were halted as a cyclone was expected to make landfall tonight. Rebar for immediate delivery tracked by Beijing Antaike Information Development Co. added 1.1 percent to 3,507 yuan a ton on Dec. 27, the first increase since Dec. 16.
"A snag in Australian supplies will boost iron ore and rebar," said Xie Zhaowei, an analyst at Huatai Great Wall Futures Co. in Shanghai. "Rebar cash prices are finding some bigger-than-expected strength, and that in turn is helping support the May contract."
Iron ore for May delivery on the Dalian Commodity Exchange rose as much as 1.4 percent to 920 yuan a ton and last traded at 914 yuan. The contract for immediate delivery at the port of Tianjin tracked by The Steel Index gained 1.4 percent to $134 a dry ton on Dec. 27, the biggest advance since Nov. 1.

Jim Fisher
Senior digital camera analyst for the PCMag consumer electronics reviews team, Jim Fisher is a graduate of the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, where he concentrated on documentary video production. Jim's interest in photography really took off when he borrowed his father's Hasselblad 500C and light meter in 2007.
He honed his writing skills at retailer B&H Photo, where he wrote thousands upon thousands of product descriptions, blog posts, and reviews. Since then he's shot with hundreds of camera models, ranging from pocket point-and-shoots to medium format digital cameras. And he's reviewed almost all of them. When he's not testing cameras and gear for PCMag, he's likely out and about shooting with one of his favorite vintage film cameras, which include the Hasselblad, a Rolleiflex Automat, and a Leica M3.
In his spare time, Jim posts his own photos to his blog, daguerreotyping, where he also writes a bit about antique cameras and film.
His father never did get that Hasselblad back.

Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Completely satisfied The jacket met my expectations fully. I am 6'3" and 190 Lbs. The XLL fits me just right. I am impressed by the build quality and features. Very well constructed. From my experience wearing the jacket so far it is quite versatile, comfortable in temps from 50's to high 80's. Just layer underneath for the cooler days. Great buy. Robert - July 21, 2014 (Nashville, TN) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit RUSH MESH FOR THE LANKY I'm 73+", 170 lbs (33" waist), and 36-37" sleeve length. Also a bit muscular in the upper chest with broad shoulders. The LT was a little snug around the chest and the sleeves were too short but otherwise it fit well. I exchanged for an XLT and the sleeve length is fine, but the rest of the jacket is somewhat baggy, especially around the waist. Additional side snaps or Velcro adjustments on the sides and sleeves would have snugged it up some. I'll never find anything to fit exactly, so I'm keeping it. Jim - May 14, 2014 (Milford, CT) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Firstgear - Rush Mesh Jacket-best lightweight summer jacket This summer has had warm to hot afternoons and almost 20°cooler in the mornings here in the Northwest. I lightened the jacket down to mesh by removing the liner and all but the back armor. Then I slip on ultralight G-force bicycle armor over a long sleeve tee-shirt. Set up this way it makes for a great commute, something I will wear until the weather turns cooler with rain. For the moment I find the FIRSTGEAR- Rush Mesh Jacket fits great and is the best summer weight jacket for me. Don - November 18, 2013 (Seattle, WA) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Sleeves not long enough Bought the XL TALL. I'm 195, 6'5" with 36/37 sleeve length, and this has sleeves that are about an inch and a half to two inches too short. Fit everywhere else is good. Fantastic jacket if your sleeve length is less than 35. Kurt - November 18, 2013 (Lake Zurich, IL) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Good Basic hot weather jacket For an inexpensive basic hot weather jacket, very nice. My complaints are minor. I wish for an outside pockets on the chest or upper sleeve, for my MP3 player. The airflow is good on hot days, fits true to size. 5'11" 200 lbs. athletic build, ordered XL and fits well on the upper body, wish the waist was a bit more tapered, but common with any jacket I own. Russell - August 07, 2013 (Hansville, WA) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Another great Firstgear Jacket I don't know how Firstgear does it, but they make really high quality motorcycle gear for a decent price. What I like? Very breathable in the heat. Bright high viz color. Nice pockets. No loose threads. A decent liner if the temps drop. Nice armor. What I don't like? Not stylish. Sizing is a bit tight. 250 denier nylon not very tough. Well worth the price. Michael - August 07, 2013 (Los Angeles, CA) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Perfect jacket for all seasons I love this jacket. Wasn't too sure when I ordered it, but it has exceeded my expectations. Perfect for hot weather, perfect for chilly weather. Also very comfortable. It's short - but it doesn't creep or bunch up, either. I bought the size that I measured to, and am satisfied. David - July 26, 2013 (Dayton, OH) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Good tall sizing I ordered this jacket because it comes in tall sizes. I was after a bright colored, summer, mesh-style jacket. I'm 6'8" tall, 250 lbs and wear a 17.5/38 shirt and 48 extra long suit coat. The XL Tall was too small. The XXL Tall was a keeper. I'd like another inch or two in the sleeves and 2 or 3" the back length, but the XXL Tall does fit adequately as sold. I'm wearing it and liking it. Tom - July 24, 2013 (Fairbanks, AK) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Nice I live in south Texas by San Antonio and it gets hot down here. This jacket lets the wind through and keeps you cool. My wife want's one now. Danny - June 26, 2013 (La Vernia, TX) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit It really works !! Have only taken one ride with this jacket but it has worked very well, it was 106 degrees and was suprised how well it kept me cool. The XL tall fit me very well and the arms were long enough. The armor seems to move around a little but stays in place once you get moving. Very nice jacket and a good value. B. McMannon - June 25, 2013 (Hereford, Arizona, AZ) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Excellent Jacket An improvement on my first First Gear being lighter weight and having more pockets. There are a couple of areas it can improve: First, I like velcro at the sleeves, not a snap. Second, the elbow armor moves a bit putting the jacket on, and the lining allows you to feel the edges of the armor. Third, an interior edge pocket on the right would allow the left hand ability to access things. Fourth, the collar is not as comfortable or as high as I'd like. All minor complaints. Eric - June 20, 2013 (Orlando, FL) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Dayglo mesh jacket good for 60 degrees and above Got for summer jacket. Most other reviews were accurate. I got XL for 5'9", 210 lbs, stocky but not fat and fit is good but no room for thick under layers. Pockets good size, with zippers. I add a wool dickey to cover my throat in 50's. A few minutes to put the liner in/out. On 80 degree day the breeze through the jacket was very nice. Short sleeves under the jacket make a difference in keeping cooler. I would recommend this jacket for summer. Bill - May 13, 2013 (St Louis, MO) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Well engineered Jacket Great jacket, comfortable and versatile for most weather conditions. The liner makes it great for cool days, and taken out the jacket is cool on the hot ones. bill - November 26, 2012 (stuart, fl, FL) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Nice jacket Bought a bike after 40 year hiatus & was impressed with how many people in cars were trying to kill me! Bought 1st Gear Rush jacket in day-glo & blk & feel very visible out there. Went thru 3 other jackets to get the right fit, & Motorcycle Superstore treated me well. Had to call on 1 order & spoke with a very helpful woman who took care of my issue. I gave the jacket a 4 on durability only because it's new & hasn't had opportunity to pass the test of time. David S. - October 16, 2012 (Clinton, IA) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Day glow mesh jacket Good value for the price. Fit a little small. Great for hot weather riding, will keep you cool. The liner finish details could be better, I use the liner From my other first gear Rainier jacket. I will be willing to pay a little more for a better liner on this jacket Michel - September 27, 2012 (San Jose , CA) Related Items and Accessories River Road Side-Zip Highway Boots $110.99 Quick View Tour Master Elite Motorcycle Cover $60.99 Quick View Firstgear Military Spec Vest $59.99 Quick View Firstgear Laguna Tail Bag $93.99 Quick View Firstgear Mesh Tex Pants $149.99 Quick View Related Links All Firstgear Jackets All Firstgear Street Bike Men's Riding Gear View All Motorcycle Jackets Rate This Product Your Information Name Email Address City Country United States Australia Canada Puerto Rico United Kingdom State Select a State/Region Armed Forces Americas Armed Forces Europe Alaska Alabama Armed Forces Pacific Arkansas Arizona California Colorado Connecticut District of Columbia Delaware Florida Georgia Hawaii Iowa Idaho Illinois Indiana Kansas Kentucky Louisiana Massachusetts Maryland Maine Michigan Minnesota Missouri Mississippi Montana North Carolina North Dakota Nebraska New Hampshire New Jersey New Mexico Nevada New York Ohio Oklahoma Oregon Pennsylvania Rhode Island South Carolina South Dakota Tennessee Texas Utah Virginia Vermont Washington Wisconsin West Virginia Wyoming Armed Forces Americas Armed Forces Europe Alaska Alabama Armed Forces Pacific Arkansas Arizona California Colorado Connecticut District of Columbia Delaware Florida Georgia Hawaii Iowa Idaho Illinois Indiana Kansas Kentucky Louisiana Massachusetts Maryland Maine Michigan Minnesota Missouri Mississippi Montana North Carolina North Dakota Nebraska New Hampshire New Jersey New Mexico Nevada New York Ohio Oklahoma Oregon Pennsylvania Rhode Island South Carolina South Dakota Tennessee Texas Utah Virginia Vermont Washington Wisconsin West Virginia Wyoming Your Ratings Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Your Comments Title Review:

Restoration Hardware Holdings, Inc. ( RH ) began fiscal 2014 on a remarkable note as its adjusted earnings of 18 cents a share grew threefold year over year. The adjusted earnings comfortably beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 10 cents and exceeded the company's guidance of 9-11 cents a share. Shares of this home furnishing retailer shot up 14.9% in the after-market trading session yesterday.
Taking one-time items, GAAP earnings came in at 4 cents a share, higher than breakeven results last year.
The bottom line was driven by a robust 22% surge in the company's net revenues of $366.3 million. Net sales not only surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $346.0 million, but also came ahead of the company's predicted range of $345-$350 million.
Restoration Hardware's comparable brand revenue growth, including direct revenues, went up 18% year over year. Further, the company's direct revenues came in at $176.4 million, up 24% year on year.
Gross profit escalated 22.1% to $124.3 million with the gross margin expanding 20 basis points (bps) to 34%. The company's adjusted operating income for the quarter soared to $14.0 million from a paltry $4.6 million in the year-ago quarter, while margin expanded 230 bps to 3.8%.Store update
At the end of the first quarter, the company operated 69 retail outlets, including 61 galleries, 3 baby and child galleries, 5 full line design galleries and 17 outlet stores all over the U.S. and Canada.Balance Sheet
The company ended the quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $10.9 million, merchandise inventories of $483.5 million and total shareholders' equity of $542.2 million.Outlook
Management seems highly impressed with the company's first-quarter performance despite eliminating the mailing of Fall 2013 Source Book. The solid results coupled with its leading position in the home furnishings industry and multi-network business model make Restoration Hardware more confident about its future prospects.
Going forward, the company plans to maintain its focus on transforming its retail outlets and expanding its product portfolio, with the latter taking a leading edge from its 2014 Source Books.
In fiscal 2014, the company plans to introduce new Galleries in Greenwich, Los Angeles and also intends to open its first next generation Full Line Design Gallery in Atlanta. Further, it aims to increase the size of New York Gallery - its best performing outlet, by adding 2 more levels to it. Restoration Hardware has already finalized lease contracts for 6 of its next generation Full Line Design Galleries and is in the process of doing the same for 25 more.
The company believes that subsequent to its real estate transformation in North America, it will record annual sales of $4-$5 billion, generating operating margins in the mid-teens and producing adequate free cash flow.
Taking cue from these encouraging statements, Restoration Hardware upgraded its outlook for fiscal 2014. It now expects net revenues to range from $1.86-$1.89 billion, compared with $1.825-$1.86 billion predicted earlier. Moreover, it anticipates adjusted earnings per share to lie in the band of $2.24-$2.30 per share, up from $2.14-$2.22 forecasted earlier. The current Zacks Consensus Estimate for fiscal 2014 stands at $2.21 a share, within the company's guided range.
Also, Restoration Hardware initiated guidance for the second quarter of fiscal 2014, wherein it expects revenues to be within $443.0-$453.0 million and adjusted earnings in the band of 62-64 cents per share. The current Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter fiscal 2014 is pegged at 61 cents per share, which may be revised upward. Other Stocks to Consider
Currently, Restoration Hardware carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy). Other players in the home furnishings industry, which look attractive at current levels, include Haverty Furniture Companies Inc. ( HVT ), Kirkland's Inc. ( KIRK ) and Williams-Sonoma Inc. ( WSM ). All these stocks carry the same rank as Restoration Hardware.

Bessemer is a city in the U.S. state of Michigan. As of the 2010 census, the city population was 1,914. It is the county seat of Gogebic County.[6]
The city is situated within Bessemer Township, but is politically independent. It is on US 2 with Ironwood several miles to the west and Wakefield several miles to the east. The Big Powderhorn, Blackjack and Indianhead ski areas are located within a few miles of Bessemer. Cross-country skiing and snowmobiling are also very popular in this area known as Big Snow country because of heavy snowfall influenced by nearby Lake Superior.

Bessemer was incorporated in 1884 as iron mining started growing throughout the Gogebic Range. The town was made county seat in 1887. The town then grew as many stores, motels, gas stations, and restaurants were built. The town declined as the mining business declined, but it has since generally stabilized.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 5.47 square miles (14.17 km2), all land.[1]

Disabled and deadly in: Killer7
The deadliest wheelchair-bound 60-year-old assassin with split personality disorder we can think of. Harman isn't just hard; he's a demi-god, putting the 'deity' in 'disabled'… if you spelt it 'deityabled'. Though his legs may be knacked this crotchety old killer makes up for it with his seven multiple personalities that take actual physical form.
If he's not bunking someone off with a British albino persona, then he's murdering a target as a Mexican wrestler. His legs may not work, but at least he can change into an enraged Irishman and cap people from 100 feet away (using only the power of his mental disorder). Better yet, old Harman's continually 'consoled' by a smoking hot nurse. Remorseless, mental murderers get all the luck.
Disabled and deadly in: Bionic Commando
Whether you're picking at stuff with them or showing off your wardrobe of comedy sock puppets; arms are great. But give us the option to cut ours off and replace it with a bionic claw and we'd happily hack it off with a dirty knife and fork right now. That's why Spencer is so lucky. He can use his arm to do loads of cool things. Throw heavy stuff. Swing from buildings. Tickle midgets stuck in trees.
He might not be able to cut cards anymore, but we're sure his ability to off entire armies of terrorists with his Doc Ock-esque robo appendage consoles him. Couple that with another ten awesome things he can do with his bionic implant and you're left with a deadly killer who doubles up as an all purpose handy man.
Deadly and disabled in: Super Smash Bros.
Tragically born without a body, the gigantic glove has to appease itself by physically assaulting Mario and the rest of his posse. In the world of Nintendo (or Smash Bros, anyway) he's effectively God, having created the entire Universe where he frequently manipulates characters like they were toys.
Although cruelly deformed, Master Hand doesn't let his lack of legs or a spine or a head or lungs or sideburns or any X rated anatomical parts get him down. Instead, he's too busy laying the smackdown using a variety of lethal punches, slaps and finger flicks. He's even got a demented alter ego he can team up with to really put those annoying immigrant plumbers, mute bounty hunter and moronic monkey in their collective places.

Molecular analysis of meso- and thermophilic microbiota associated with anaerobic biowaste degradation

BMC Microbiology 2012, 12:121 doi:10.1186/1471-2180-12-121Published: 22 June 2012
Microbial anaerobic digestion (AD) is used as a waste treatment process to degrade complex organic compounds into methane. The archaeal and bacterial taxa involved in AD are well known, whereas composition of the fungal community in the process has been less studied. The present study aimed to reveal the composition of archaeal, bacterial and fungal communities in response to increasing organic loading in mesophilic and thermophilic AD processes by applying 454 amplicon sequencing technology. Furthermore, a DNA microarray method was evaluated in order to develop a tool for monitoring the microbiological status of AD.
The 454 sequencing showed that the diversity and number of bacterial taxa decreased with increasing organic load, while archaeal i.e. methanogenic taxa remained more constant. The number and diversity of fungal taxa increased during the process and varied less in composition with process temperature than bacterial and archaeal taxa, even though the fungal diversity increased with temperature as well. Evaluation of the microarray using AD sample DNA showed correlation of signal intensities with sequence read numbers of corresponding target groups. The sensitivity of the test was found to be about 1%.
The fungal community survives in anoxic conditions and grows with increasing organic loading, suggesting that Fungi may contribute to the digestion by metabolising organic nutrients for bacterial and methanogenic groups. The microarray proof of principle tests suggest that the method has the potential for semiquantitative detection of target microbial groups given that comprehensive sequence data is available for probe design.

The subject pretty much sums up the problem. I cant think of anything more to state that would help much except that it also sounds like a taping noise from the same area. I should have said can not instead of cant.

May 24, 2013.
If you can't describe the noise by pitch, loudness, whether it changes in speed with changes in engine speed, what area it's coming from, whether it occurs all the time, just at certain temperatures, etc, you'll need to have a mechanic listen to it. There's dozens of things that can be described as a click and some don't even require the engine to be running. Some emissions devices click at a rate that has nothing to do with engine speed. Some of them make noise only when the engine is running. Some can make noise even with the ignition switch turned off.

Product description
In August 1944 the British Pacific Fleet did not exist. Six months later it was strong enough to launch air attacks on Japanese territory, and by the end of the war it constituted the most powerful force in the history of the Royal Navy, fighting as professional equals alongside the U.S. Navy in the thick of the action. How this was achieved by a nation nearing exhaustion after five years of conflict is a story of epic proportions in which ingenuity, diplomacy and dogged persistence all played a part. This groundbreaking work describes the background, creation and expansion of the British Pacific Fleet from its first tentative strikes to its impact on the immediate post-war period. The book is the first to demonstrate the British Pacific Fleet's impressive achievement.
