Sighting Details
Sitting out in the yard looking up as i often do, normally seeing a lot of planes and helicopters (i live close to hollywood blvd, los angeles) noticed and cluster of lights flashing randomly forming the outline of a cigar shape. I did not see a craft, and it didn't appear to be a plane showing no signs of prominent red lights or any lights on wings. All these lights where forming only the outline of a cigar shape, plus it seemed to be very high, maybe 40/50,000 feet and just guessing but possibly 3 to 4 times longer that a boeing jet, and not typically in the flight path that i would normally see a plan. It was moving from east to west, not sure of speed? if i had to guess, maybe 2000mph?? But the most bizarre thing of all that first drew my attention. The angle of the craft was at a 45 degree. Not 90 as if it where wings, or straight heading forward, the lights and outline were at a clear 45 degree angle but moving forward, if you understand my meaning? Has this been seen before?? please feel free to contact me. Paul 310 701 7112. I did grab my phone and took two pics but the lights were far by that time and all i see is black. i can send them if you want. |

He'd been quiet for most of the series. But he just wasn't going to take it any more. Not with so much on the line.
A few different views of Jefferson's big third quarter dunk. (NBAE/Getty Images) See the dunk Game 4 highlights: 56k | 300k |
"New Jersey! We are not going to lose this game!" he screamed into the JumboTron. "We are going to win this one tonight! Come on! Let's go Nets! Let's go Nets!"
Yes, there was Hollywood star, and New Jersey native, Bruce Willis imploring the hometown fans to give their team a serious boost when it needed it most. By the time Willis signed off with his signature "Yippee-kai-ayyyy!" the home crowd had been worked into a frenzy.
Whether his cheerleading was the reason the Nets were able to pull out Wednesday night's game and even the series at 2-2 is uncertain. In fact, let's be honest; it's downright unlikely. But for someone not in uniform, it was about as much as one person could contribute to the cause.
As far as the guys actually in uniform, however, if you had to pick someone who matched Willis' impact on the game, it would have to be Nets small forward Richard Jefferson.
Like Willis, Jefferson had been quiet for the first three games of the series. Like Willis, Jefferson is outspoken and charismatic. Like the characters Willis plays in his films, Jefferson is capable of nail-biting physical feats that defy explanation. And like Willis, Jefferson wound up being one of the heroes of Game 4.
Unlike Willis, however, Jefferson found success by calming down, not by getting fired up.
"I was saying to him right before the game, just relax, just relax," said Kenyon Martin. "I just kept telling him the whole game, just relax and he did."
"He was just patient," added coach Byron Scott when asked why Jefferson played well in Game 4. "The thing that I talked to him about the other day was just being patient and letting the game come to you."
The game came to Jefferson in a big way. Jefferson finished the night with 18 points (on 8-of-15 shooting), 10 rebounds and two blocks. Through the first three games he was averaging 9.7 points, 4.3 rebounds and shot just 11-for-31 from the field. And while Jefferson isn't a star on the order of Tim Duncan or Jason Kidd, he knows that he's one of the keys to New Jersey's success.

When Jefferson is "playing well," he adds more than just points, rebounds and defense. He's one of the rare players whose athleticism allows him to make big plays that get the crowd -- and his teammates -- more involved in the game.
Jefferson had one of his signature big plays in the third quarter, with New Jersey leading 54-45. The Nets were in their halfcourt offense when Jefferson saw an opening to the basket. He drove the lane and took off from what seemed to be an impossible distance. But his momentum carried him up and over Spurs big man Kevin Willis, and he threw down a thunderous one-handed dunk that ignited both the fans and his teammates.
"That (dunk) was huge for him," said Kenyon Martin after the game. "I guess it's the same type that (Malik Rose) had on (Dikembe Mutombo in Game 3), but I think RJ was a little higher. It got him going."
Mutombo, who had been "posterized" by Rose in Game 3 held his hands to his face in awe after witnessing Jefferson's dunk from the Nets' bench. The replay of RJ's high-flying feat elicited almost as big a response from the crowd as the actual dunk itself did.
Just another star getting the crowd fired up on the video screen at the arena.
Just another night in New Jersey.

Shorty is a cat but he does love his fruits and Veggies, We have an apple tree when I was little the apple tree got sick and we could not eat any of the apples so we chopped it down but the roots were so deep and thick that the tree grew back now all the apples are piosonus so we have to pick up all the apples so no animals get sick from them the only problem is we can't get it to stop growing back because of the roots I wish there was some way we could get rid of it for good.

I read the section about being able to send a package to Florida for cruises, is this option available for Galveston?
I know there were a couple of threads about this recently. Maybe do a search for "Galveston mail" would work?
While I am far from an expert and have not actually done this yet, I did phone DCL and ask for the information. I will be shipping a box to port next week for the Jan. 4 sailing of the Magic. Keep in mind I am from Canada and that is why I am shipping so early. I had looked in the information on these boards and found the Port Canaveral information, so when I called I did ask on size restrictions. I was told there is nothing concrete, I would think you should use common sense. I am shipping a box that is 18"x18"x18" and under 20 lbs. The box must have a list of items posted on the side and not contain any restricted items. For restricted items, I used the PC info on these boards. You must also have the ship name, your name, sail date, stateroom # (if you have one) on your box in at least one spot. Ship to: Intercruises Shoreside and Port Services, 2109 Post Office Street, #318 Galveston, TX 77550. I was told to send it so that it arrived about a week before the cruise. It needs to be there prior to the Friday before the cruise.
make sure you track the package if it does exist for galveston... shows whoever that it got there in case it doesn't make it to the ship

Name: BIOLOGY FINAL EXAM REVIEW PACKET Here is your final review packet. Make sure that you know and understand the material on these sheets. Define or describe the terms listed below, answer any questions asked, and be able to label any diagrams. I. Embryology: Zygote: diploid fertilized egg; fused egg and sperm cell Gastrulation: Stage of embryonic development in which embryo folds inward to form 3 germ layers (ectoderm, mesoderm, endoderm); Placenta: membrane pouch that attaches mother to fetus and supplies fetus with nutrients Fetus: developing human 8 weeks after fertilization till birth Embryo: multi-celled organism at the early stage of development II. Evolution: Evolution: change of species over time Natural Selection: when individuals with more favorable traits survive and reproduce better than others because of environmental pressures Homologous Structures: similar internal structures, but different functions in different species. Ex. Human arm and Bat wing. o Suggests that two organisms share a common ancestory/evolved from the same organism Vestigial Organs: organs that are present in the body that no longer have a function o Tells us something about the behavior of our ancestors o Our appendix doesn't work now, but suggests we once had a diet that required an appendix Adaptations: favorable traits that improve the ability for an organism to survive and reproduce Fossils: remains of living things from many years ago; buried in layers of sedimentary rock; fossils in lower layers are older and more simple than fossils in top layers Variations: different versions of a genetic trait; NECESSARY for natural selection to work Biogenesis: Law that states that life can ONLY come from pre-existing life. o Opposite of spontaneous generation which suggests life can come from non-living things Who is Charles Darwin? How did he come up with his beliefs? Observational biology that developed the theory of evolution. He observed organisms in different geographical locations in the Galapapgos islands. What were the first living organisms on Earth? What is the endosymbiotic theory? Prokaryotic Heterotrophic archaebacteria. Endosymbiotic theory states that complex eukaryotic cells evolved from large prokaryotes engulfing smaller prokaryotes. Describes how the mitochondria and chloroplasts became part of our cells. What does the Big Bang Theory state? The universe was created in an explosion and the universe is constantly expanding. What are some types of evidence that evolution occurred? Fossils What are some types of evidence that many organisms share common ancestors? Homologous structures, vestigial organs, similarities of gene What were the results of Miller and Urey's experiments? Organic molecules are can be made from inorganic molecules; They attempted to recreate the conditions of early earth to prove that organic molecules (amino acids, nucleotides, sugars) would form from inorganic compounds (CO2, CH4. H2O). This is a necessary first step to forming living things! III. Classification: What is taxonomy? The study of classifying and naming living things. What are the 5 kingdoms? Also be familiar with the 6 kingdom system of classification. 5: Monera Protist Animal Plant Fungus 6: Archeabacteria Eubacteria Protist Animal Plant Fungus Difference between 5 and 6 kingdom system: as scientists learned more about monerans(the bacteria) they learned that there were really two different groups that could not be grouped together. They then divided monerans into two kingdoms: eubacteria and archaebacteria Know some basic characteristics of each kingdom, and know representative organisms from each kingdom. Archeabacteria Eubacteria Protist Animal Plant Fungus Prokaryote Prokaryotes Eukaryote Eukaryote Eukaryote Eukaryote Lives in "true Single Multicelled Multicelled usually HARSH bacteria" celled Heterotroph Autotroph Multicelled environments Autotroph Heterotroph or decomposers heterotroph Know the hierarchical sequence of taxonomic categories. Domain, Kingdom ,Phylum, Class, Order, Family ,Genus, Species Which is the broadest category? Domain (followed by kingdom) Which is the most specific category? Species Which 2 categories form the scientific name of an organism? Genus species What is binomial nomenclature? Using 2 part naming system to identify organisms; two parts include the genus and species name of the organism What is the scientific name of humans? Homo sapiens The scientific name of the wolf is Canus lupus. Identify its genus and species. Genus: Canus species: lupus Who is Carolus Linnaues? Inventor of the original hierarchical organizing system for living things. What is a taxonomic key? Why do we call them dichotomous keys? Verbal Tool consisting of a series of two part questions used to identify organisms based on appearance. Example: To identify a tree, the first question might be does the tree have broad leaves or needles? IV. Virus & Bacteria What is a bacterium? Prokaryotic cell To what kingdom do the bacteria belong? Eubacteria and Archaebacteria which were formally lumped together into the kingdom Monera Which bacteria live in harsh environments, resembling the early earth? archaebacteria Which are the more common disease causing bacteria? How do they cause diseases? Eubacteria. They can attack your cells directly, release toxins that hurt your cells, or compete with your cells for valuable resources like food What is a prokaryote? Eukaryote? Prokaryote cells do not have a nucleus or membrane-bound organelles like the mitochondria, chloroplasts or endoplasmic reticulum. Eukaryotes have a nucleus and all of the organelles listed above. Are bacteria prokaryotes or eukaryotes? Prokaryotes What is a flagellum? A tail-like structure found on some bacterial cells that helps the bacterial cell move from place to place Describe the following shapes of bacteria: coccus, bacillius, spirillium. Coccus – round/spherical Bacillus – rod shaped Spirillium – spiral shaped Antibiotic Chemical/drug that kills bacterial cells by destroying their cell wall or blocking protein synthesis Antibody Protein produced by the immune system to recognize and inhibit specific pathogens (like viruses or bacteria) Virus Non-living pathogen that is made of a protein coat and contains DNA or RNA. Can only reproduce by taking over a living cell. Vaccine A weakened version or harmless portion of a pathogen that allows the immune system to learn how to fight a disease without experiencing any symptoms of that disease. Binary Fission Asexual cell division in prokaryotic cells (bacteria). Results in two identical cells Retrovirus Virus that contains RNA. Mutates faster than a DNA virus because information must be copied twice; (HIV) Bacteriophage Virus that infects bacterial cells. Has potential to be used as a new type of "antibiotic" Pathogen Anything biological (made of protein/nucleic acid) that causes disease. Describe the structure of a virus what is the inner core of a virus; what is the protein coat surrounding the core? o A virus has an external protein coat called the capsid. The capsid surrounds the genetic material found in the core. The genetic material can be either DNA or RNA Are viruses living or non living? Explain. Viruses are not alive because they do not maintain homeostasis, they do not use energy, and cannot reproduce on their own and MOST IMPORTANTLY they are not made of cells. Know differences and similarities between viruses & cells. o Cells are packets of cytoplasm and organelles surrounded by a membrane. They must fulfill ALL the characteristics of life o Viruses are protein wrapped around DNA/RNA. They do NOT fulfill all the characteristics of life Know the differences between the lytic cycle and lysogenic cycle. Lytic cycle: virus invades cell and viral DNA takes over. Host cell replicates viruses and dies. Host has symptoms Lysogenic cycle: Virus invades cell, but viral DNA hides and is reproduced each time the host cell reproduces. Hibernation phase, host has no symptoms but virus is spreading V. Human Anatomy: Digestive System Know the main function of the digestive system, and the major organs. I. See your note packet for these Know and be able to label a diagram of the human digestive system. I. See your note packet for these Know the functions and location of the following organs: I. Mouth – site of mechanical digestion and chemical digestion of carbohydrates (starch). Saliva lubricates food and contains amylase to break down starch. II. Epiglottis- flap of tissue covering the wind pipe to prevent choking during swallowing. III. Esophagus – "food tube" connects pharynx to the stomach. Squeezes food down to stomach with muscle contractions called peristalsis IV. Stomach- site of mechanical and chemical digestion. Lined with protective mucus. Produces acids (HCl) and enzymes to break down food. V. Small Intestine- where the enzymes and bile from the pancreas and liver work to break down food and is the site for the absorption of most nutrients. Lined with villi, which increase the surface area of the small intestine. VI. Large Intestine (colon) – undigested material pass through while water is reabsorbed. VII. Rectum- stores feces VIII. Anus- undigested waste leave the body IX. Liver- produces digestive enzymes, bile, and also makes urea X. Gallbladder – stores bile made in the liver XI. Pancreas- produces insulin, neutralizing chemicals which are sent to the small intestine; produces most of the enzymes needed to digest protein, fats and disaccharides Describe the following terms: Peristalsis – wave-like muscle contractions that push food through the digestive system. Bolus – refers to lump of food mixed with saliva that is swallowed Bile- chemical that helps dissolve fats and oils, allowing them to be digested.

Genetics Who is the father of genetics? Gregor Mendel Describe the following: o Law of Dominance and Recessiveness: some alleles over power other alleles when paired together. You will "see" the phenotype of the dominant allele only o Law of Segregation: during gamete formation, each gamete only receives one allele for each gene. Offspring therefore inherits one allele from mom and one from dad o Law of Independent Assortment: during gamete formation, the inheritance of one trait does not influence the inheritance of another. Different genes get passed on in different combinations. One pair of parents can produce many different offspring just by passing on different combinations of alleles Incomplete Dominance: in the heterzygote, the traits of both alleles are blended (red allele + white allele pink flower) Codominance: in the heterozygote, the traits of both alleles are both fully expressed. (black allele + white allele black and white fur (not gray!) Sex Determination: What is the genotype of: (1) Female; (2) Male? Female: XX, Male: XY Who determines the sex of a baby? Father (can pass on either his X or his Y; mom can only pass on an X) Sex Linked Traits What does that mean? (Examples include color blindness and hemophilia) Traits are found on the X-chromosome; males only inherit 1 copy and are therefore more likely to end up with an sex-linked recessive trait Blood Types A, B, AB, O which are recessive; which are codominant O is recessive, A and B are codominant What are the possible genotypes for each blood type? o A: AA or Ao; o B: BB or Bo o AB: AB o O: oo What is a test cross? Why is one used? - parent with an unknown genotype crossed with the recessive. Used to identify the genotype of the unknown parent. If any recessive offspring result from the cross, unknown parent was heterozygous; if all dominant offspring result from the cross, unknown parent was homozygous; Define: genetics; allele; autosome o Genetics: study of heritable traits and how they are passed from parent to offspring o Allele: a variation of a gene (brown and blonde are variations of the Hair color gene) Homozygous vs. Heterozygous o Hetero: individual who inherited two different alleles for the same gene; Bb, Hh o Homozygous: individual who inherited two of the same alleles for the same gene; BB, hh Genotype vs. Phenotype o Genotype refers to the combination of alleles you inherited o Phenotype is the physical appearance you have because of the alleles you inherited Monohybrid vs. Dihybrid Cross Mono: cross that focuses on a single trait; brown hair vs. blonde hair Di: cross that focuses on two traits: brown hair and blue eyes vs. blonde hair and brown eyes Be able to do Punnett Sqaures for all types that we have done in class. Be able to figure out genotypic and phenotypic ratios of the offspring. 1. Cross a heterozygous blood type A female with a homozygous type B male. Parents: AO x BB - see your book/notes 2. Cross a color blind male with a female who is a carrier for color blindness. Parents: XbY x XBXb 3. Cross a homozygous green plant with a yellow plant (green is dominant to yellow) Parents: GG x gg 4. Incomplete dominance: cross a red flower with a white flower Parents: RR x rr (Rr= pink because its incomplete) 5. Incomplete Dominance: cross 2 pink flowers Parents: Rr x Rr

New to the FJ family
Just traded my 03 double cab for an 07 FJ. So far I am loving it. Let the mods begin.
http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f5...60B7064013.jpg http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f5...070A52134C.jpg Already cutting on it to make the 33's fit with no lift. http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f5...60FFBAF41C.jpg |
Looks good :)
Thanks. I am loving the FJ so far. I thought I'd miss the Tacoma but after driving the fj it makes up for it.
Congrats! I traded my Taco in back in 07' for the new http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphoto...20776368_n.jpgFJ...It's been a blast modding and I'm close to $20k poorer as a result.

The molecular mechanisms regulating the sensitivity of sensory circuits to environmental stimuli are poorly understood. We demonstrate here a central role for stem cell factor (SCF) and its receptor, c-Kit, in tuning the responsiveness of sensory neurons to natural stimuli. Mice lacking SCF/c-Kit signaling displayed profound thermal hypoalgesia, attributable to a marked elevation in the thermal threshold and reduction in spiking rate of heat-sensitive nociceptors. Acute activation of c-Kit by its ligand, SCF, resulted in a reduced thermal threshold and potentiation of heat-activated currents in isolated small-diameter neurons and thermal hyperalgesia in mice. SCF-induced thermal hyperalgesia required the TRP family cation channel TRPV1. Lack of c-Kit signaling during development resulted in hypersensitivity of discrete mechanoreceptive neuronal subtypes. Thus, c-Kit can now be grouped with a small family of receptor tyrosine kinases, including c-Ret and TrkA, that control the transduction properties of sensory neurons.

Additional Research
Nancy S. Seasholes compiled an overview of how natural resources of the islands were used during the historical period for the National Park Service. Her recommendations for additional research follow.
Fishing More research is needed on the 19th-century fishing communities on the various Harbor Islands—the dates they actually existed, the exact location and number of houses, the number and identity of the inhabitants, and the type of fishing in which they engaged. In 1975 the leading archaeologist of the Harbor Islands suggested that an archeological investigation of the fishing colony on Calf would yield interesting information on the daily lives of a mid-19th-century working class island community (Leudtke 1975:18) and this might be true of the other island fishing communities as well. Research is also needed on the Bumpkin smelting center—its dates, location, operation, etc. Hunting Timbering Farming and Husbandry Quarrying Research could also be done on the 17th- and 19th-century quarrying on Slate and 17th on Hangman to verify the accuracy of the information in this report, which comes from antiquarian accounts. |

Recovinyl continues to increase PVC recycling across Europe
Published by Kathy Wilkinson for Recovinyl in Housing and also in Central Government, Communities, Education, Environment, Health, Local Government
Waste post-consumer PVC frames for recycling
PVC recycling continues to grow across Europe, with the UK contributing more than 20% - or 88,648 tonnes – to the total recycled through Recovinyl, the PVC industry's recycling scheme, in 2013.
A total of 435,083 tonnes of waste PVC was recycled through Recovinyl last year across its 16 European member countries. To date, the Recovinyl recycling network comprises 141 companies.
Recovinyl is the operational arm of VinylPlus, the ten-year Voluntary Commitment of the European PVC industry, which is tackling the sustainability challenges for PVC and delivery of current recycling targets to 2020.
Waste PVC-U profiles comprised 50,421 tonnes of the UK's recycling effort in 2013, with pipes, rigid and flexible PVC films and cables making up the rest.
This profile fraction is equivalent to the replacement of 3 million individual frames, or more than 300,000 homes based on an average of ten windows per house. The assumption is based on the weight of an average PVC-U window frame.
"These latest figures show that PVC recycling is maintaining its upward trend, with demand continuing to grow for good quality recycled material that can be reused in a variety of new products, from windows to flooring and advertising banners," comments Project Manager Jane Gardner of Axion Consulting, Recovinyl's UK agents.
"Once again, the UK has made a significant contribution to the success of PVC recycling, thanks to ongoing commitment from the sector and sustained investment in recycling infrastructure across the country," continues Jane.
Having already established significant volumes of PVC recycling with Vinyl 2010, Recovinyl's strategy now is to consolidate and increase the steady supply of PVC waste being recycled in Europe by creating demand – a 'pull-market' for recycled PVC material - from the converting industry.
Potential new recycling opportunities for PVC include non-infectious medical PVC waste from hospitals, such as IV Fluid and oxygen bags. This type of waste is the focus of a new VinylPlus-funded research project undertaken jointly by Axion Consulting and the BPF Vinyls Group.
Jane adds: "We are now looking to collect and recycle PVC from new sources, such as non-pharmacologically active waste from hospitals. Trials would be based on a successful Australian study and we would be interested to hear from organisations looking to explore these recycling options, such as medical and care organisations."
As part of its drive to increase PVC recycling, VinylPlus has issued new communications material showcasing the sector's achievements. The VinylPlus PVC Recycling Technologies brochure outlines some of the challenges and solutions for extending recycling of waste PVC, with an emphasis on the emerging technologies that can access the 'more difficult to recycle' waste streams.
Its 'Closing the Loop with PVC' document showcases best practice examples developed within the framework of the VinylPlus programme, such as extensive recycling of PVC products from the 2012 London Olympics.
One of the objectives of the VinylPlus Voluntary Commitment is to recycle 800,000 tonnes of PVC waste per year by 2020, including 100,000 tonnes of difficult to recycle PVC through innovative recycling technologies.
Axion Consulting is part of the Axion Group that develops and optimises processing and collection methods to recover value from waste resources for a wide range of clients within the recycling and process industries. For further information, visit: www.axionconsulting.co.uk and www.recovinyl.com.

So as we mentioned yesterday over our social medial channels, we just received one of the first Android powered MOJO game consoles sent out for review by Mad Catz. As we also stated, we were going to do an unboxing so you can all see what you can expect to find when you open up the packaging for the MOJO game console.
So Nvidia announced their next chipset at CES 2014 called the K1 (formerly Tegra 5) and even though it is pretty early in the game for this new chipset, it has already been benchmarked in its current state of development and the results are already looking pretty damn good.
Wikipad has decided to branch out in the gaming peripheral industry by announcing their newest product which is called the Gamevice. This particular gaming peripheral is pretty much as the name suggests - a detachable game controller that Android gamers can use with their Android devices.
That magical time every year in January where the Consumer Electronics Show kicks off is almost upon us once again. Of course we will be there sifting through everything that we can find related to Android gaming. Nvidia will be hosting an invite-only press conference this Sunday, January 5th, 2014, the company will be showing off new innovations in gaming along with new advancements in their mobile Tegra technology.
Last week we reported on Ouya teasing a new limited edition white version of their Android-powered game console. If you happen to be interested in purchasing one, you may want to try your hand at a giveaway Ouya is hosting where you can win a white limited edition version of their console as well as a pair of TuneIn headphones.
Ouya has announced, through their Twitter account with a picture, that the company has made a new white version of their Android-powered game console. This new edition is just as it sounds, all white, for those of you who enjoy having everything white colored.
Samsung has officially made their game controller for their phones a thing now, releasing it to market already in Europe while everywhere else in the world will be able to buy it soon. Of course that is if you don't already own a MOGA controller, or a SteelSeries one, or a Nyko controller, or any number of ones already available and useable with pretty much any Android device.
Nvidia has decided to put their portable handheld Android game console on sale once again and this time it is $100 of the regular price when you purchase a GeForce GTX card for PCs. Not only is it discounted rather heavily, anyone who buy the Nvidia Shield will also get three free games to start playing right away.
We've played with an early version of Mad Catz's Android-powered game console MOJO and have followed the news on its development since it was announced back in the Summer. Now we get to report on the fact that the console will finally be shipping out to anyone who's pre-ordered one, just in time for the holidays as promised by the company.
Nvidia has pushed out another pretty important update for Shield owners today that brings with it more improvements to the Gamepad Mapper software as well as the next big step in the GameStream feature as the GRID Cloud Gaming service goes live in beta form in Northern California.
Cyber Monday is a great day to pick up deal online and as you would probably expect, Amazon has a ton of deals going on today, more than we can possibly write about. There is everything from $50 off of their Kindle Fire HDX tablet to $0.01 Android phones and just about everything in between.
