ABSTRACT: Artemisinin (qinghaosu), a unique endoperoxide sesquiterpene lactone isolated from Artemisia annua L., is a very active antimalarial drug, including severe and cerebral malaria. However, its therapeutical efficacy is limited due to its scarce bioavailability. In this article, artemisinin-loaded conventional and polyethylene glycol (PEGylated) liposomes were proposed as carriers to increase biopharmaceutical properties of the drug. Encapsulation efficacy was determined by high-performance liquid chromatography/diode array detection/electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry, dimensional analysis was performed by dynamic light scattering, and morphology was performed by trasmission electron microscopy. After dialysis, both liposomal formulations showed an encapsulation efficacy of more than 70%; mean diameter of all the artemisinin-loaded vesicles was approximately 130-140 nm. The polydispersity index of the formulations ranged from 0.2 to 0.3 and resulted as suitable for intraperitoneal (i.p.) administration. Pharmacokinetic profile and the main pharmacokinetic parameters of the carriers were evaluated in healthy mice i.p. Free artemisinin was rapidly cleared from plasma and hardly detected 1 hour after administration. Conversely, both liposomal formulations showed much longer blood-circulation time than free artemisinin; artemisinin was still detectable after 3 and 24 hours of administration, respectively, for conventional and PEGylated liposomes. AUC(0-24 h) values were increased by approximately 6 times in both of the liposomal formulations, in comparison with free artemisinin. A strong effect of formulation on the half-life of artemisinin was enhanced by more than 5-fold by the incorporation of PEG into liposomes. Liposomes loaded with artemisinin, especially the long-circulating vesicles, could really represent a new strategy for developing smart, well-tolerated, and efficacious therapeutic nanocarriers to treat tumors, but could also be very useful to treat parasitic disease.Journal of Liposome Research 12/2010; 21(3):237-44. · 1.91 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Cefazolin (1-2 g bolus at induction possibly repeated after cardiopulmonary bypass) remains the standard for antibiotic prophylaxis in cardiac surgery. Data indicate, however, that it is underdosed with this dosing schedule. A prospective, randomized study comparing intermittent versus loading dose plus continuous infusion for the same total dose of cefazolin was performed to assess which modality is pharmacokinetically and pharmacodynamically advantageous. Patients received 2 g cefazolin as a starting dose and then were divided into an intermittent group (receiving another 1 g at 3, 9, and 15 hours after the first dose) and a continuous group (continuous infusion started after the first dose, providing 1 g every 6 hours for 18 hours). Cefazolin levels were measured in blood and atria. Mean total and calculated free trough concentrations in blood varied greatly among patients in the intermittent group and were lower than those in the continuous group (P < .05 at 15, 18 and 24 hours). For 9 of 10 (90%) patients in the continuous infusion group, the targeted pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic goal (time above minimal inhibitory concentration >90%) was achieved, whereas the goal was met for only 3 of 10 (30%) in the intermittent group (P < .05). The mean atrial tissue concentration was also higher with continuous infusion (P < .05). Administration of cefazolin as bolus plus continuous infusion has pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic advantages relative to intermittent administration. It provides more stable serum levels, lower interpatient variability, and higher myocardial tissue penetration.The Journal of thoracic and cardiovascular surgery 08/2010; 140(2):471-5. · 3.41 Impact Factor - European Journal of Anaesthesiology 01/2010; 27:172-173. · 3.01 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: The pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic characteristics of antimicrobial agents are the two fundamental pharmacological components which provide a rational for the choice of therapy for skin and skin structure infections, and especially serious infections. The most important PK-PD parameters are well known which can potentiate therapeutic efficacy. Antimicrobial agents ca be subdivided into categories based on whether their activity is dependent on concentration or exposure time. Therefore, a correct dosing regimen for the time-dependent molecules (i.e. beta-lactams, linezolid, tigecycline) should prolong the maximum exposure time to maintain serum levels over the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC). The concentration-dependent molecules, on the other hand, which include aminoglycosides and fluoroquinolones, should be given in order to reach maximum concentrations, since they are bactericidal in direct proportion to their concentrations and possess a prolonged post-antibiotic effect.Le infezioni in medicina: rivista periodica di eziologia, epidemiologia, diagnostica, clinica e terapia delle patologie infettive 09/2009; 17 Suppl 4:37-57. - International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents 07/2009; 34. · 4.26 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: Stimulation of histamine H(3) receptors (H(3)R) activates G(i/o)-proteins that inhibit adenylyl cyclase and triggers MAPK and phospholipase A(2). In a previous study, we showed that H(3)R-mediated phosphorylation of Akt at Ser473 occurs in primary cultures of rat cortical neurons, but neither the downstream targets nor the function of such activation were explored. In this report we address these questions. Western blotting experiments showed that H(3)R-mediated activation of Akt in cultured rat cortical neurons was inhibited by LY 294004 and U0126, suggesting that it depends on phosphoinositide-3-kinase and mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase. H(3)R activation phosphorylated, hence inactivated, the Akt downstream effector glycogen synthase kinase-3beta, increased the expression of the antiapoptotic protein Bcl-2 and protected cultured rat and mouse cortical neurons from neurotoxic insults in a dose-dependent manner. All these effects were inhibited by the H(3)R antagonist inverse/agonist thioperamide. Mouse cortical cells expressed H(3)R as revealed by immunostaining experiments, and stimulation of H(3)R phoshorylated Akt and decreased caspase 3 activity. Hence, we uncovered a yet unexplored action of the H(3)R that may help understand the impact of H(3)R signaling in the CNS.Journal of Neurochemistry 07/2009; 110(5):1469-78. · 4.24 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Ertapenem, a novel carbapenem, is approved for the treatment of mild to severe intra-abdominal infections (IAIs), although its in vivo concentrations in peritoneal fluid are unknown. The purpose of this study was to determine the peritoneal fluid concentration of ertapenem after a single 1 g intravenous dose. After informed consent, 21 patients (9 females and 12 males; mean+/-standard deviation (S.D.) age 50.2+/-17.7 years) requiring intra-abdominal surgery were enrolled. Plasma and peritoneal fluid samples were taken at fixed times during surgery. Drug concentrations were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with ultraviolet detection. Mean+/-S.D. ertapenem peritoneal fluid concentrations were 64.3+/-23.4 mg/L at 1h and 31.3+/-26.5 mg/L at 3 h after administration. The mean tissue/plasma ratio ranged from 46.7% to 83.1%. The mean peritoneal fluid concentrations were well above the MIC(90) (minimum inhibitory concentration for 90% of the organisms) for susceptible bacteria found in IAIs, especially Escherichia coli, viridans streptococci, Enterobacteriaceae, Klebsiella spp. and Bacteroides fragilis, during the entire sampling time. These pharmacokinetic results support the assumption that ertapenem might be suitable for the treatment of IAIs.International journal of antimicrobial agents 04/2009; 33(4):371-3. · 3.03 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics are significantly altered in critically ill septic patients and the risk of prolonged periods with concentrations below the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and of low area under the serum concentration-time curve/MIC (AUC/MIC) ratios is of concern. We compared the pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) profile of linezolid administered by intermittent or continuous infusion in critically ill septic patients. Patients were divided into two groups: intermittent infusion (Group I) (600mg/12h); or continuous infusion (Group C) (300mg intravenous loading dose +900mg continuous infusion on Day 1, followed by 1200mg/daily from Day 2). Linezolid serum levels were monitored for 72h and microbiological data were collected. The clinical outcome was monitored. Sixteen patients completed the study. MICs of susceptible pathogens were 2mg/L for 80% of the isolates. In Group I, linezolid trough serum levels (C(min)) varied widely and were below the susceptibility breakpoint (4mg/L) during the study period; in 50% of patients C(min) was <1mg/L. In Group C, mean linezolid serum levels were more stable and, starting from 6h, were significantly higher than C(min) levels observed in Group I and were always above the susceptibility breakpoint. Time that the free drug concentration was above the MIC (T(free)>MIC) of>85% was more frequent in Group C than in Group I (P<0.05). Finally, with continuous infusion it was possible to achieve AUC/MIC values of 80-120 more frequently than with intermittent infusion (P<0.05). According to PK/PD parameters, continuous infusion has theoretical advantages over intermittent infusion in this population of patients.International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents 02/2008; 31(2):122-9. · 4.26 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Uncomplicated urinary tract infections (UTI) are treated with beta-lactams, co-trimoxazole, quinolones and fosfomycin tromethamine. Due to increasing resistance of causative pathogens, antibiotics should be used by considering their pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic characteristics. beta-lactams have time-dependent activity and should not be used once-daily. Co-trimoxazole should be restricted due to increasing chemoresistance. Fluoroquinolones play a primary role in the treatment of serious and complicated infections. Fosfomycin tromethamine is active against most urinary tract pathogens. In vitro time-kill kinetics of fosfomycin against Escherichia coli and Proteus mirabilis showed primarily concentration-dependent activity, with a prolonged post-antibiotic effect (3.4 to 4.7h). Based on these results a single 3g dose of fosfomycin guarantees optimal efficacy against common uropathogens with an AUC(urine)/MIC ratio of 500.International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents 09/2006; 28 Suppl 1:S35-41. · 4.26 Impact Factor - International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents 11/2005; 26(4):338-40. · 4.26 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: The efficacy of various dosing regimens of clarithromycin and erythromycin against recently isolated Streptococcus pneumoniae strains was determined in vivo using two animal infection models (mouse peritonitis and thigh infection). For the thigh infection model, mice received a total dose of 4 mg/Kg of either clarithromycin or erythromycin, as a single total dose or divided into 2, 4 or 8 doses/24h. After 24h of therapy S. pneumoniae organisms were killed at 2.06 to 4.03 log10 CFU/thigh by clarithromycin and the one- or two-dose regimens were significantly more effective than the four- or eight-dose regimens. Organism killing following 24h of therapy with erythromycin ranged from 1.13 to 2.31 log10 CFU/thigh, with the one- or two-dose regimens significantly less effective than the four- or eight-dose regimens. In the mouse survival study, the same dose of either clarithromycin or erythromycin was given as a single total dose or divided into two or four doses with dosing intervals of 4 and 2-times the t1/2 respectively. The results obtained in this model show that there is a significant difference in survival when clarithromycin is administered less frequently (4% deaths for the one-dose regimen in comparison to 40% deaths with the four-dose regimen, P < 0.01, Chi-square test). With erythromycin there was a trend for increased survival with the multiple-dose regimen, with significantly higher survival when concentrations exceeding the MIC were maintained for a longer time period. These results indicate that the time during which serum concentrations exceeding the MIC value of the pathogen is an important parameter for efficacy for erythromycin. On the contrary, results with both animal models demonstrate that bacterial killing and survival are significantly higher among clarithromycin-treated mice when the antibiotic is administered less frequently and the highest Cmax/MIC ratio is achieved.Journal of chemotherapy (Florence, Italy) 12/2002; 14(6):584-90. · 1.07 Impact Factor

While most pessimistic developers predict nuclear wars and alien invasions for our future, we at least tip our hats to EA for being slightly more original with its projected second Ice Age.
Battlefield 2142, the publisher's impressive-looking PC shooter, finds super-powers battling over the last remaining bit of Earth not frozen over. What this means for you, the gamer, is hi-tech weaponry, giant mechs, airborne combat and mass-scale battles (64 players online).
Check out the latest trailer here - it's looking rather smart we have to confess, even if it's not quite 3D Rampage.

I decided to just give you this version since the full one will never be made. CONTROLS are as follows: M = ground to air missile. N = Rocket Launcher. To move th car forward, press the Right Arrow key. The game loops once you reach the covered brisge. Have phun!
seems like nothing was designed to work together
the weapons don't work when you're driving, the enemies are destroyed without being hit, driving isn't really that fun because there's no speed control or special features on jumps or anything. I understand that it's a very old beta, so that gets you a 5 out of 10 and a 3 out of 5, because it's fun, but flawed.
agree i
i agree with all of the other reviews, you MUST finish this game even if it takes you a whole year, this has potential dude.
Whats the point of this game? All you do is shoot at the cars and never die. THis needs to be finished, to be fully rated.
It's not finished; It SHOULDN'T be any good.
This game has great potential, but if you finished it, it'd be worth playing more then once. The unfinished version just doesn't cut it as a good portal entry.
It's WAY too rendered...
May not be noticable to most people, or people who don't work with flash. But it truely has like 0 real time aspects of it. Hrumph.

I personally went back to it after I did the whole ship cause I had it on a different save, not recommended in some sense cause you get an "All Heart" level boost for doing it perfect, but so much harder this way. I personally, loaded up my save for level 3, cleared a path through to the final door, then ran back to create a new save. This way, if I failed, I only needed to run there in future. Otherwise, there is a checkpoint at the end of level 3 before you start the task, so if you fail, die and load the checkpoint. |

Billie Jean King a queen of women's rights
Tennis star transcended sports, worked tirelessly for equality
For 27 years, the PBS series American Masters has presented documentary profiles of artists and entertainers, cultural icons and institutions. To date, more than 190 films have been produced under the American Masters title.
This week, for the first time, the series adds a sports figure to its roster. And fittingly, the subject is an athlete whose accomplishments far transcend the sport in which she gained fame and amassed a fortune.
Billie Jean King, which airs tonight at 7 p.m. on Prairie Public TV, is a fascinating 90-minute documentary that examines the career and life of a woman who recognized at a very young age that success as an athlete would provide an opportunity to be a catalyst for cultural change.
The winner of 39 Grand Slam tennis titles, the co-founder of the Virginia Slims Series tour (a precursor to the current WTA tour), the first female pro athlete to earn more than $100,000 in a year and a tireless supporter of both women's rights and gay rights initiatives, King is -- for better and worse -- probably best remembered by most as the female tennis pro who took on self-proclaimed male chauvinist pig Bobby Riggs in the 1973 exhibition match dubbed "The Battle of the Sexes."
When she met with TV critics recently during PBS's portion of the U.S. networks' semi-annual press tour in Los Angeles, King said the relentlessly hyped tennis showdown -- largely the product of Riggs having created a second career for himself as a feminism buster long after his best tennis-playing years were behind him -- was a match she had tried to avoid playing for at least a couple of years.
"I definitely did not want to play Bobby," she recalled. "He followed me around for two or three years, but when he played Margaret (Court) and she lost badly, I had to play him. I was worried about Title IX (U.S. equal-rights legislation). I was worried about our tour. I was worried about a lot of things, and I was worried about perception, and I had to play him. I just didn't have a choice."
The match was preceded by weeks of heavy promotion in which Riggs was shown clowning around and poking fun at female athletes and the women's rights movement. For King, who went into seclusion and trained fiercely, there was nothing amusing about the contest.
"It was not fun," she said. "Maybe for (people) watching, but not for me playing or Bobby playing. It was not fun. I knew the implications. I knew what it stood for. I knew that it was very symbolic of the women's movement and what we were trying to do... I mean, women, men were talking, betting.
"If you just really analyze the times, you knew this was a moment where we could help to move forward understanding each other and bringing us together, for women to have more pride, for men maybe to think differently... It was huge, and what it was about was about equality. It was about change."
The documentary includes comments of several who watched the King-Riggs match, including Hillary Clinton, Elton John, Gloria Steinem and many of King's contemporaries on the women's tennis scene.
Despite its high-profile nature, of course, the straight-sets rout of Riggs is really only a minor moment in King's extraordinary life. Her accomplishments as a crusader for equal pay for women, her place in the battle for women's rights and, later, gay rights, and her commitment to creating opportunities for sports and fitness for children are also explored in extensive detail.
King, who will turn 70 in November, received the Presidential Medal of Freedom -- the U.S.'s highest civilian honour -- in 2009. Three years earlier, in 2006, the headquarters of U.S. tennis in Flushing Meadows, N.Y., was rededicated to become USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center.
An athlete as an American Masters subject? In this case, the title seems a perfect fit.

Girl Scouts to host energy fair
ARLINGTON An energy fair on Saturday at Fisher Elementary School that will provide information to help Vermont home and business owners save money while using less energy and protecting the climate, will be presented by the Girl Scout Cadette Troop 30215 of Arlington
The fair, which is the culminating event for the Cadette Scouts Take Action project, runs from 1 to 4 p.m. and is free and open to the public.
Key Vermont organizations and businesses will offer a combination of informational booths and workshops because while spring is in the air, saving on heating and cooling costs is never out of season.
Companies sending representatives include Vermont Neighbor Works, Central Vermont Solar and Wind and Arlington-based Solar Pro. The Vermont Energy Education Program will offer a workshop to Button Up and make your home more comfortable and energy efficient, as well as electricity displays featuring Energy Star.
Visitors can take the ENERGY STAR Pledge which challenges people to take simple steps to save energy.
Representatives of these organizations will also provide information about rebates and incentives available to offset costs for improvements and installations, and local vendors will be on hand as well to offer their products/services to implement cost-saving ideas. Plus activities and games for kids like VEEPs electricity-producing bike and Vermont Renewable Fuels pellet truck.
Educating Vermonters about saving energy not only helps save money and the environment, but it can also be a lot of fun, says Troop Leader Janne Pedemonti. Were excited to broadcast this important message as a service to our community.
For more information, contact Elizabeth Berger by email at firstname.lastname@example.com or by phone at 375-6532 or Pedemonti by email at firstname.lastname@example.com or by phone at 375-1218.MORE IN This Just InDallas Taylor, a rock 'n' roll drummer who played behind David Crosby, Stephen Stills...

Results tagged "Egypt"
Would you like to limit the tag results display to a specific section?
If you do, then pick any of the sections below:
Or simply go to the aggregated tag results from:
Five students tied to the Muslim Brotherhood were transferred to a military court for trial on rioting charges; Egypt's expansion of the reach of military courts is seen to have broad implications for political dissent, terrorism, and civil liberties. Egypt's foreign ministry issued a statement condemning the execution of American Peter Kassig by the Islamic State; the ministry also welcomed the UAE's inclusion of the Muslim Brotherhood on the Gulf state's newly issued list of terrorist organizations.
Lebanese support ISIS airstrikes: survey
Sinai-based jihadist group rebranded as Islamic State's official arm
A new video has been posted online by jihadists claiming to be the Islamic State's official arm in the Sinai. The Sinai jihadists were formerly part of Ansar Bayt al Maqdis, but are now marketing themselves as the Islamic State's representatives.Jihadists killed five off-duty soldiers and policemen after setting up ad hoc checkpoints in the Sinai. Five sailors were injured and eight remain missing after an Egyptian naval vessel was attacked in the Mediterranean by an unidentified group on Nov 12.
A car bomb exploded outside of a restaurant on the Sinai on Nov. 11, wounding 10 people. An Egyptian court sentenced 25 individuals to 25 years, three people to 10 years, and seven more to three years over support of the Muslim Brotherhood.
UAE emerges as quiet, potent US ally
The Egyptian military announced the arrest of 14 suspected terrorists and the "destruction of 30 'terrorist hideouts'" in the Sinai. Egypt has relieved over 200 school teachers and transferred them to "administrative posts in the ministry," and it has banned Libyan schools in Egypt due to links to the Muslim Brotherhood. The interior ministry has said it will curb protests by the Salafist Front; Egyptian Islamists have refused to label the Islamic State a terrorist group.
Authorities arrested a leader of the Salafist Front on charges of inciting terrorism; also arrested was a man suspected of posting threats against US and international schools in Egypt to a jihadist web site. An Islamic State leader called on the group's followers to take jihad to Egypt in the wake of Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis, Egypt's most significant jihadist group, pledging allegiance to the Islamic State.
Sinai-based jihadists pledge allegiance to Islamic State in audio recording
An unidentified jihadist has released an audio recording saying that Ansar Bayt al Maqdis, the most prolific terrorist group in Egypt, has pledged allegiance to Abu Bakr al Baghdad's Islamic State.Four people were killed, including two policemen, and nine others were injured in a bomb attack by suspected jihadists on a train near Cairo. A bomb blast near the presidential palace wounded one person. Israel granted an Egyptian request to deploy two additional infantry battalions and attack helicopters to combat Islamist militants in the demilitarized Sinai. A formerly prominent Egyptian rights activist is reported to have died fighting for the Islamic State in Iraq earlier this year.
Ansar Bayt al Maqdis, a Sinai-based jihadist group, has sworn allegiance to the Islamic State. Egypt is investigating 600 citizens who traveled to Iraq and Syria for connections to the Islamic State. Egyptian officials are discussing an agreement with Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and the UAE to combat regional jihadist groups.
A bomb exploded near Egyptian troops razing houses to create a buffer zone with Gaza, causing no casualties. Egyptian security officials claimed to have evidence of communication between the Sinai-based Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis and the Islamic State. Thirty-four individuals accused of terrorism were referred to a military court on Saturday; 56 judges were suspended on Sunday for signing a statement supporting ousted president Morsi; also on Sunday, the religious endowment ministry announced it would fire any imam or mosque employee in Sinai who has knowledge of tunnels or weapons or "spread[s] radical thought."
The Egyptian Army began demolishing homes to create a buffer zone against militants in the Sinai; the Army is also preparing for an operation to target "Sinai extremists." The Egyptian government banned a pro-Morsi political group. The US embassy has warned Americans in Egypt of potential attacks by al Qaeda-affiliated groups after a recent threat posted on a jihadist web site.
Egypt has placed civilian infrastructure under the jurisdiction of the military in the wake of the Oct. 24 terrorist attack in the Sinai that killed 33 Egyptian security personnel. The army has intensified operations in the Sinai, killing four "suspected terrorists," capturing 10, and deploying Apache attack helicopters to destroy 33 "terrorist hideouts," according to Egyptian state media. The army ordered residents out of homes to create a 500-meter buffer zone to combat tunnels from Gaza. A senior Hamas leader denied Gazan involvement in the recent Sinai attack and said that "Hamas is ready to cooperate with Egypt regarding this issue."
The Egyptian military conducted airstrikes on suspected terrorists in north Sinai, killing six, wounding 11, and destroying "ammunition storehouses and several vehicles." The operation was conducted in response to attacks that killed 33 Egyptian soldiers on Oct. 24. A senior Egyptian official has blamed the violence on Palestinian militants, and the country's foreign minister is requesting "additional security support" from the international community.
An attack on an Egyptian Army post on the Sinai Peninsula has killed 25 and wounded 20. Multiple reports assert that it was the result of a suicide bombing, though one "top official" claimed that the location was hit with "a mortar round and rocket-propelled grenades," causing a secondary explosion. Meanwhile, "at least four" masked men tossed molotov cocktails at two cars belonging to the Saudi consulate in Suez. Egyptian police have blamed the Muslim Brotherhood for the attack.
The militant group Ajnad Misr, or Soldiers of Egypt, has claimed responsibility for the bombing at Cairo University on Oct. 22. Six police officers and five civilians were wounded in the attack.
Jihadists killed six Egyptian security personnel in an IED attack in Al Arish in the Sinai Peninsula. The attack took place in the same area where two policemen were killed in an ambush with RPGs three days ago.
The military claimed it killed Shehata Farhan, a senior leader in Ansar Bayt al Maqdis, or Ansar Jerusalem, during a raid in Rafah. The military also claimed it killed Mohamed Abu Shatiya, an Ansar Jerusalem military commander, also in Rafah last week.
Who are the members of the coalition against ISIS?

text: We Test the Best No-Nonsense, Easy-Handling Chain Saws Medium-duty chain saws are great for clearing storm-downed tree limbs, preparing a little firewood, and doing landscape work. Theyre light enough to be easy-handling but powerful enough to do reasonable cutting. We gathered four saws and went to work in the woods of Pennsylvania and New York sawing up the seemingly limitless number of trees downed by Hurricane Sandy, then completed the test with a long day at Riephoff Sawmill in Allentown, N.J., sawing test discs. (Note: Working weight includes powerhead, 18-inch bar, fuel, and bar oil.) By Roy Berendsohn Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery 4 of 4 Stihl MS251 C-BE Ranking: * * * * * (Clearing-and-Thinning Champ) Price: $370 CC: 45.6 Horsepower: 2.95 Bar Length: 18 in. Working Weight: 14.5 lb Likes: Can a chain saw be so well designed that it becomes elegant? We're tempted to say yes. The MS251 easily clinched the clearing-and-thinning title because its a pleasure to use in the start-and-stop-and-start-again world of landscape work. Stop the saw and restart it later with two fingers and a gentle pull. This is thanks to Easy2Start, a spring-loaded mechanism. You wind the mechanism as you pull slowly up on the recoil handle, then give it a gentle tug. We also like the saw's dial-adjust chain tensioning and its outstanding vibration isolation, also the best of the four saws we tested. And if you need a less expensive saw, you can remove some of the options (tool-free chain tensioning) and bring the price down to about $350. Dislikes: Needs more space between the port for bar oil and the wrap-around handle.

New York - Jane Fonda has something she'd like to work out: A television series.
The veteran actress says cable television has the "best, edgiest writing" and that she would "love" to do a TV series soon.
While the Oscar-winner hasn't officially signed up for a TV show, she can be seen in new workout DVDs designed specifically for older people.
The 72-year-old says older people are ignored by the fitness industry and she wants to see a change.
She recently released Jane Fonda: Prime Time Walkout and Jane Fonda: Prime Time Fit & Strong. She says too many older people dismiss working out and that "it's the worst thing that a person could do."
Fonda is also writing a book about ageing. It is due out in 2011.

End point adjustment on the V4 board
How is the V4 on board start up adjustment working out so I don't have to buy a $130 8 channel receiver to mix throttle to engine start up and wide open? With my channel receiver maxed out for channels the kluged throttle trims I currently have is NOT the way to do it. I don't intend on using a Orange 7 Channel in 8 lb. plane. Bill |

Andrew your not only creating a wonderful product but you are also teaching me how to handle a small start up business. When I was reading books on how to do that one of the things it said was "many only think of a board of advisors when there already in trouble". You are making us part of your board of advisors. Thank you, I am honored to be a small part of all this. DJ |

I just want to say that I was an early adopter of his version 1 sound module and Andrew has been fantastic. I've ran into a few issues along the way but Andrew has been very responsive and helpful working through these issues.
The sound module is fantastic and really turns heads at the flying field. Quote:

Andrew -
As you work out the final 5% of the product (usually the most difficult), my Mustang is just dying to get one of those new sound units. I've been dubbing over real Mustang recordings in my videos and am ready to bring the "Beast to Life"! http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1829356 Great work - and you're doing a fantastic service to this hobby. Someone here on RCG stated that this is the golden age of radio control and you my friend are a key entrepreneur of that reality! |

Another aspect is that bass carries better over distance, so the more bass the better when a plane is 100' up in the air. I was just looking at Senior wing. In -front- of the thickest part of the wing there's enough room to fit a speaker which is the heaviest component. Then behind that is a big empty space about 6" x 3.5" and tapering from 1.5" down to 1". It's a lotta work though I'll have to think about it for a while. |

Monolayers of well-ordered close-packed silica nanoparticles (NPs) with a diameter of 25 nm were spontaneously formed on silicon substrates over a large area and at a high rate via a wet-coating process using a capillary coater. The effects of zeta potential, dispersion solvent, and substrate friction on the NP self-assembly induced by the solvent evaporation were investigated. Experimental results showed that the solvent and the substrate had a larger impact on the order of formed monolayers than the zeta potential did, which are discussed from the viewpoint of the Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey-Overbeek (DLVO) and non-DLVO theories. Based on the above studies, we proposed a solution to fabrication of well-ordered NP monolayers without boundary defects at the surface coverage of ∼1 via the wet-coating process.

#Indie88Wedding | One Couple. One Day's Notice. For Real.
If you haven't been tuned in to Indie88 – at 88.1 FM – then you should probably go do that immediately.
These fab folks and all of us at WG have been secretly plotting the planet's most epic wedding giveaway for months now, and last week we made it airwave-official!
One lucky couple will get one day's notice and tie the knot on the most romantic day of the year, Valentine's Day. If nothing else, their anniversary date will be pretty much impossible to forget!
If you haven't been listening for the past few days, here's what you've missed:
That's when the madness began. Can you believe that the first entries for this contest began pouring in only minutes after it was announced?! We knew Toronto was filled with super-rad lovebirds!
The next day, we headed over to the Indie offices in Liberty Village to set the record straight on-air….
Sidenote: if you've never visited beautiful Liberty Village at dawn, you should probably do that.
Did you know Indie88 broadcasts from a house in Liberty Village?
Their boardroom is an ex-bedroom, and their broadcast table is an old dining room table. Amazing.
Never having had any radio experience before, this view was a bit daunting…..
Did you miss the clip? Here it is!
So here's how everything's going down.
Couples in love need to apply at Indie88.com
Fill out the questionnaire.
Upload a photo (make it epic!)
Upload a video (make it even more epic!) – (waiting until some brave dude decides to get down on bended knee in the video!)
Click SUBMIT and cross ALL OF THE THINGS!
Next week, we're going to pick our two finalists… and then, the vote is YOURS! Our final two couples will be put to a vote and selected by our listeners. The winning twosome will find out on February 13th at 8:10 a.m. that they're tying the knot the next day!
The WG team is going to play role of "Bridal Party" and whisk our couple off to Toronto City Hall to get a marriage license, to Made You Look on Queen West for custom wedding bands, and then to the gorgeous LoversLand on Ossington to choose a designer wedding gown! Purestorm Studios will be in tow, capturing all the excitement on camera while J. Company Designs busily sets up our stunning decor over at The Richmond.
Our lucky couple will have slumbered soundly at One King West Hotel. They'll be well rested before the beauty experts from Visage Yorkville arrive to make some gorgeous happen. Right around this time, Cookery Catering and Double Trouble Brewing Co. will be setting up at the venue, Paper & Poste will be pulling wedding day stationery hot-off-the-press, and the Fraîche Floral Studio will be putting last minute touches on some stunning floral designs. Not to mention, a stylishly sweet wedding cake will be rolling in from our friends at Le Dolci. Yum! Oh, did we mention that Dillon's is going to be there too? Love may be sweet… but gin is definitely better.
The bride's designer gown will be topped off with a custom-designed, one-of-a-kind headpiece from the oh-so-talented Blair Nadeau Millinery and all-the-while, Canadian Indie band, Stars, will be rehearsing at the Danforth in preparation of welcoming our winning couple and their wedding guests to their sold-out Valentine's Day concert!
This wedding is going to be off-the-hook… complete with all the things you'd expect from an unforgettable celebration – and a few things you wouldn't! We're slowly sharing top-secret details on the WeddingGirl.ca Instagram account. Can't wait to find out?? Follow us @WeddingGirlca and find and follow our sponsors for hints about their contributions as well!
Remember…. go to Indie88.com, enter to win, and cross your toes – for a life-changing wedding from Indie88, Stars, and all of us at WeddingGirl.ca!

Rayven & Ryan | Gage Park, Toronto
There's something so incredibly gorgeous about being in love. What makes that love more gorgeous is when the couple is so unique, so different, and so much in love that their uniqueness and difference becomes one and the same. We love the sharp edge of Rayven and Ryan – tattoos and unkempt hair – softened with how deeply they look at eachother, and how madly they love.

A few things on this. I've renewed my pass every time for the past 7-8 years online and never have had any problems. The only issue I had was a few years ago when I renewed it on a Saturday and went to the park on a Monday and they asked me if I had renewed my pass recently and I told them I had. They explained that as soon as you renew your pass your current pass becomes null and void. If I read this correctly, the day the received his/her pass, they upgraded it, thus nullifying the renewed pass. Now if the original poster used a temporary pass that was issued on the first day he/she went to the park and had the issue I find that interesting. I would think that pass would be limited to one day only. Forgive me if he/she got a new pass the second time around.
I do also understand the frustration, but as someone posted, people are going to make mistakes and sometimes we hold people to a ridiculously high standard. Here's the thing, I can tell by the posts who in the posts is possibly in a service oriented job based on answers. I work in a service oriented job (web design) and an IT department. Sometimes those simple things you want to do and know should be done, will get shoved to the back of the line because you are having more critical issues. I realize it's not what people want to hear, but it's true, and sometimes those get forgotten.
The best advice I can give to anyone who renews a pass, is to renew it and don't even think about going until you receive your new one and use the new one only. Now the question is has the pass issue been the resolved? The thing I liked about this post was your attitude, you get the fact that things happen and you also get the fact that your attitude affects others around you, so big kudos to you for keeping your cool, etc.


text: SPRING, Texas (AP) - Investigators say one person has been hurt when a small plane crashed and flipped near a Houston-area airport. The Harris County Sheriff's Office says the accident happened Sunday afternoon in a wooded area near Hooks Airport in Spring. The sheriff's office says the victim was transported to a hospital. The person's name and condition weren't immediately released. Two other people on board escaped injury. The Texas Department of Public Safety says the single-engine plane apparently was trying to make an emergency landing in a field. DPS Trooper Richard Standifer says the plane possibly hit a berm before crashing. Investigators are trying to determine what caused the crash about a mile from the airport.
