After battling the Los Angeles traffic, a friend -- my assistant for a day -- and I finally found our way to Activision headquarters, fashionably late for the X-Men Origins: Wolverine preview. On the second floor, a handful of other press persons and Activision personnel were already present, snacking on café sandwiches, cookies, chips, and bottled water. Ritzy. Having personal demo stations with Xbox 360s hooked up to 26" monitors wasn't too bad either, but we didn't get to play with those until later
First, we got a little background info from the team, some of which you may already be familiar with, depending on how diligently you've been following related news. Although their first Wolverine title wasn't so hot, Activision may be redeeming their 2003 X-Men transgression with X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
The encouraging news here is that Activision and Raven Software had begun working on this title before the movie was announced, finding out only months later that Fox was indeed planning to go somewhere with a similar project. So basically before Fox stormed into the picture, blabbering about their movie, Activision and friends were busy doing some background research on Wolverine for their game, hoping to do right by his character this time.
While the game is definitely related to the movie, sharing the same title and vague narrative structure, developers took numerous liberties throughout, meaning this isn't just a carbon copy of the film. Still, it's quite obvious from trailers and screenshots already plastered across the Internet that the game's protagonist was made to resemble Hugh Jackman; other likenesses will pop out throughout.
The fact that Raven developed the X-Men Origins game may also provide a glimmer of hope, raising our expectations with their previous Marvel successes: X-Men Legends, X-Men Legends II: Rise of Apocalypse, Marvel: Ultimate Alliance. Now I know high expectations can lead to massive disappointment down the line, but I had fun with two out of three said games (didn't get to play the third) so I'm fairly confident that X-Men Origins: Wolverine is going to be a better kind of movie-based adventure.
It's important to note, however, that Raven Software only worked on the "Uncaged Edition," basically the Mature-rated version on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC. The PlayStation 2, PSP, Wii and Nintendo DS versions were actually developed by other studios and sport different ratings -- Teen for PS2, PSP, Wii, and Everyone 10+ for Nintendo DS. Between these platforms, a total of four different studios were contracted to work on the X-Men Origins game.
I just hope that in the end it defeats the movie gaming curse. D:
quote RabidChinaGirlRCG, may I suggest you make a thread similar to this on the PS3 section side for those who don't frequent both versions?Neoseeker got invited to Activision on April 22 to preview the X-Men Origins game.
Curious to know what we thought of the game?
Here's our first impressions from the preview event.
Neoseeker previews X-Men Origins: Wolverine
Anyway, thanks for the article.
I was already looking to get this for the PS3, but after reading this, I may go to this new video game store that open months ago within walking distance(play@trade or something) to pre-order this title. I have like 80% of the cash now to do it, but might as well Preorder it in now.
As for the pre-order bonus's I was hoping they would be available regardless of that, and thanks to the article clarification, the decision to get it has been made.
Just a question: Is the body dismemberment, assuming you played the 360 NG2 game, is it similar to that but less blood? Or is it different?
I discovered some Marvel Paperback Novels and the most represented is... Wolverine.
Wolverine has 6
Fantastic Four/Spider-Man have 4 each
X-men/Ultimates Have 2 each
I actually was most interested in the Ultimates ones but I have been reading Weapon X and really it's likely a huge influence on this game... he uses some guns in the book but he fights multiple helicopters.
quote Final BladeNote we played the debug copy, so there could be more blood in the final product.Just a question: Is the body dismemberment, assuming you played the 360 NG2 game, is it similar to that but less blood? Or is it different?
Violence is more "realistic" than in NGII, though I wouldn't use that word to seriously describe either game.
So right now, I would tentatively say there is slightly less blood in X-Men Origins.
Also, I have posted this on the PS3 forums as well.
Thanks for the suggestion, FB.
Is the debug copy like a demo of the game? Cause the only time I've heard debug used within a game would be like a debug code on games, like cheats.
Anyway, i'm sure the final build will have good enough blood for my liking. I'd use believability personally then "realistic" but that's me.
quote Final BladeRabidChinaGirl previewed the pre-production version of the game (a "beta", if you like).Is the debug copy like a demo of the game? Cause the only time I've heard debug used within a game would be like a debug code on games, like cheats.
Ok, I heard that if you beat the game then want to play on a harder difficulty it resets your kills and everything so you have to star a whole new game.
But lets say you stick on one difficulty, can you replay levels? How does it work?
I ask partially cause I just finished Star Wars:TFU and you have to play through the whole game if you miss a Holocron or something. You can't select a single level. (But you do have all your upgrades and things you already collected.)
So then say I play through Wolverine (Which I own but am holding back til I see the movie) if I miss a costume statue or dogtag, can I play single levels again or what?

Get the Best Priced Sterling Radiator
- Fast Shipping
- 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee
- Lowest Prices
Sterling Replacement Auto Radiators
Even the finest cars and trucks will break down without replacement part maintenance and new replacement parts. If it happens that your vehicle starts running rough, the optimum plan is installing a new top-quality replacement part to keep your vehicle in top running order. Sometimes the trickiest job about restoring your vehicle is finding a reasonable source for reliable parts. At times you need to get a Radiator for road safety or utilitarian reasons, while sometimes it's an item to indulge in; in both cases acquire the highest level of quality you can swing.
Your Sterling is regarded as a solidly built vehicle but with mileage even the best-engineered cars will need occasional maintenance or repair. Sterling engineers critically acclaimed cars and trucks, and they are often found on the road. When you chose a car, you committed to an investment that might endure for years to come, so support the choice by purchasing the finest auto parts. The reliability and skilled design that come with a high-quality car are good reasons for usually buying replacement and aftermarket components with at least that value; high-quality parts don't need to cost an arm and a leg. Your vehicle's Radiator is important to the cooling system as it holds the coolants that are vital to circulate inside your motor. The Radiator is installed in the front of your engine and makes use of cool air flowing through the engine compartment to lower the temperature of the coolant.

Even if the roads were passable, which they're not, we couldn't venture out, anyway.
Because the only way out is blocked by snow-laden trees. Snow-laden. That's how I'm feeling, as in heavily loaded or weighed down.

Yes, although the LLano series are beasts for any regular HTPC needs, able to even do 3D BlueRay, this Trinity series is really something amazing, and might be worth waiting for, for those who wish to maybe game a bit more or are just power hungry!

I posted the A10's, you'd just be more interested in getting an A8, it just curious about it?

RE: AMD Trinity APU - eskro - 2012-03-31 03:00 why A8? well, i always look for the cheapest APU that will let me use win7 + XBMC + Heavy SKins all in --> %110 Fluid Mode and i strongly believe the A8-5500 is at a sweet spot exactly for that.. if its priced right, it'll be just like the A6-3500 APU, the perfect low cost HTPC APU RE: AMD Trinity APU - bluray - 2012-03-31 04:22 I brought it up late last year, and it's on target- AMD Trinity APU RE: AMD Trinity APU - Castrol - 2012-04-19 03:37 Here is what I think is the latest news on Trinity http://www.sweclockers.com/nyhet/15255-amd-trinity-slapps-den-15-maj RE: AMD Trinity APU - dmgash - 2012-04-19 03:51 You guys think its worth it to wait?

For me I am in NZ so I doubt I will see the new kit available here until June or July.

Empowering Women Empowers EVERYONE
Posted on April 11, 2013 with No Comments
When you think of a company's "ethics," what comes to mind? Sustainability? Fair trade? While these are important, let's talk about an ethical issue that everyone has a stake in: gender equity.. In the US, women earn more than 50% of the graduate degrees, and yet they only hold a small percentage of the highest paying positions. This is not only an issue of fairness, but an issue of economics. That's right, companies with more women in power succeed. In fact, they do better than companies with male-dominated executive boards.
On this note, when you are choosing a company to work for, do a little research and ask these questions:
1.) Does the company offer opportunities for women to be promoted? Do they adamantly encourage women to do so?
2.) Does the company have a committee/ task force dedicated to diverse hiring practices? Do they consider hiring women a business imperative?
3.) Does the company engage in regular data, policy, and practice review in the area of gender equity? Similarly, do they have an annual goal for the number of women they hire?
Not every facet of this issue can be discussed in a short blog post. But the main point is that if you are a female college student/recent graduate entering the workforce, you are likely very qualified. And if you are a non-female college student/recent graduate entering the workforce, you will not lose out by being a part of the fight to empower women. Helping women succeed is not a zero-sum game; everyone wins!

I think there's something in the water in Cincinnati that just makes players stupid-crazy after a while. Maybe it wears off once they leave and he'll get better but right now he's showing all the signs of off an acute case of LoudMouth (former-)Bengal Syndrome. (LMBS)
I hope they find a cure soon before it's too late for Chad OchoCinco.

Re: TJ Houshmanzadeh pissed off....
I had read about this.
So TJ is going to boycott Madden 10? LOL. What a clown. I doubt EA is shaking in their boots over TJ's opinion. Madden's ratings have always been dubious--Unless you're an NFL superstar, your rating is going to suck. And if you achieve stardom, but then your REAL career starts sliding...your rating is going to still be up there pretty good. EA is the laziest bunch of developers. They want to monopolize the market so they don't have to (a) work as hard, and (b) be challenged by anybody else with better ideas. But too many people continue to buy it, so it fuels the problem.

Re: TJ Houshmanzadeh pissed off....
Great graphics and presentation. But I absolutely hate the mechanics. It says, on the demo, that you can alter the speed-of-play. The demo has it slowed down, to what it claims is "more in tune with what the real game speed is in the NFL." Pfffttt. WTHE. (What The Hell Ever). I would throw a pass, and the release was super slow, then the receiver was 10 yards away from the spot on the field where the ball was going to drop, but he would suddenly lunge forward at the last second. The mechanics are goofy. On the running plays, sometimes I couldn't even truck a cornerback with Brandon Jacobs. I'd get drug down right where the CB met me. Then on another running play, I'd break away from a gang tackle of like 6 players who swarmed me...yet I somehow get away and continue to break multiple tackles when I'm not even doing anything extra or special on the buttons/joy stick. Enjoy the eye-candy--It's got breathtaking visuals. I won't be messing with it at all, not even as a rental. The gameplay is cheesy, IMO. I never dreamed I would be more happy with the college video game more than Madden. But I am. The Pro-Tak (pro tackling) system is nice. WHen you tackle a guy with one player, you can hit "B" and switch to another defensive player nearby and use that guy to tackle, then hit "B" again to use another nearby defender. So you have multiple chances to personally smack a ball carrier. That's the only two nice things I can say: Visuals, and Pro-Tak system.

Re: TJ Houshmanzadeh pissed off....
I personally liked the QB Vision Cone rendition. You had to progress through the WRs (like a real QB does) and it affected the pass play's effectiveness. But EA doesn't retain enough of those mechanics. Noooooo, they jack with stuff every year. EA's Madden series has become a shell game. They introduce some new aspects to lure customers, always promising that it's "The Best Yet." I expect the QB Vision Cone feature to be back in Madden in a few years. EA shelves stuff, then brings it back several years later. For example: In 2005, the NCAA Football game had a create-a-team feature. Only now, in 2010 (5 years later) do they have that feature. For 5 years, you couldn't create your own team. Why did they NOT include this feature in each year's title? I think they left it out, on purpose, so they'd have their ace-in-the-hole to play one year, down the road, when they needed to bait people for a version (such as this year's) that needed a marketing angle in order to sell it. "Most extensive create-a-team YET!" Well, you horse's asses....thanks for not putting in there for the past five years. /rant.

WALLA WALLA -- Longtime Walla Walla Public Schools educator and leader Mira Gobel has been named the new principal of Pioneer Middle School.
The Walla Walla School Board approved Gobel to the post during a special board meeting held Thursday afternoon.
Gobel has spent the past eight years as associate principal of Walla Walla High School, where she has developed and overseen the senior culminating project, now a graduation requirement; implementation of the Advancement Via Individual Determination program, which helps first-generation students reach college; and the Response to Intervention support program, which combines organized instruction and assessment to meet students' individual needs.
Her efforts in such programs have helped Wa-Hi achieve a 96.4 percent on-time graduation rate, according to a news release. This year, Wa-Hi received the state's 2010 Washington Achievement Award in the "closing the achievement gap" category. Gobel was also invited by the Delaware Department of Education last year to discuss Wa-Hi's successes with RTI implementation.
Gobel succeeds Dana Jones, former Pioneer principal, who earlier this summer accepted a position with the Longview School District. Before becoming associate principal at Wa-Hi, Gobel taught art at the high school for four years. She taught art at Pioneer Middle School for 11 years.

Guide to the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of conditions from A to Z.
Ear surgery, or otoplasty, is a type of cosmetic plastic surgery procedure aimed at setting prominent ears closer to the head, or reducing the size of larger ears. However, there are other ear problems that can be helped with surgery. Surgeons can even build new ears for those who were born without them or who lost them through injury.
The operation is usually performed on children between the ages of 5 and 6; however, ear surgery for adults does occur.
Possible complications associated with ear pinning may include, but are not limited to, the following:
Blood clots on the ears
Infection in the cartilage, which can cause a formation of scar tissue
Although each procedure varies, generally, ear pinning surgeries follow this process:
Location options may include:
Surgeon's office-based surgical facility
Outpatient surgery center
Hospital outpatient
Hospital inpatient
Anesthetic options may include:
General anesthesia for children
Local anesthesia, combined with a sedative (allows the patient to remain awake but relaxed) for adults
Average length of procedure:
Several hours or longer
Some possible short-term side effects of surgery:
Throbbing in the ears

This month's roundup of new personal care launches features a number of unusual cleansing products, from a dual positioned hand and toilet cleaner, to a hand cleanser in a light-up bottle. Meanwhile, manufacturers are getting cheekier with their product names, with new launches including Boogie Wipes and Monkey Butt Anti-Itch powder, which are designed to make consumers chuckle.
Alcoholic ingredients are not normally found in the hair care aisle, but this month's new personal care products review finds that two brands have broken the mold by launching wine-inspired variants. Meanwhile, shower gels are becoming more innovative, with one recently launched product containing silver ions, which means it could be a hit with the scientifically minded.
Manufacturers around the world are increasingly turning to science to boost the deodorizing and fragrancing credentials of their products, as this month's new personal care products review discovers. Deodorants with heat-responsive molecules and perfumes which 'reactivate' in water all demonstrate how technology is making increasing headway in the personal care market.

Degrassi Crash Course: Season 10
Season ten had so many amazing episodes that it was really hard for me to pick a few favorite moments. I did my best to narrow it down, but if you have other favorites, please share them in the comments. I'm not here to fight, I'm here to EDUCATE future fans of this amazing show.
My personal season ten highlights include the episodes where Adam came out as transgender. I thought those episodes were mindblowing, and I think I may have cried more at them than I've EVER cried at any other TV episode (except maybe when J.T. was stabbed, but it's a close call). I LOVE Jordy Todosey, and I am so glad she does such an amazing job bringing Adam to life.
I was also seriously impressed by Jenna's pregnancy storyline. I get the feeling a lot of people still think of Jenna as a "boyfriend stealer," but I can't even imagine going through what she went through. I wish I could give that girl a hug.
One Degrassi moment that I will never forget -- because of how scary it was AND how people reacted to it -- was the scene where Eli crashed his hearse. To me, that was a sign of his mental illness, and that he really needed to get help. I was so disturbed to see people online talking about it as if it was a romantic gesture. If the teenagers of the world learn anything from Degrassi, I hope it's this: If a guy crashes a car to impress you, it doesn't mean he loves you -- it means he needs to be on medication.
I take Degrassi very seriously, and I know you guys do, too. Share your own personal highlights from season ten of Degrassi in the comments. Tell future Degrassi fans what makes this show so special!

Stud ?'s
Hey Paul was gonna PM you but figure your reply could help others.
1- Have you ran studs on a more knobbie tire such as a Dunlop 606? Do the higher knobs cause more problems than the TKC's, with more squirming around? 2- You mention the studs cutting down on treadwear and thats kinda good. 3-Would you say the loss of traction on bare pavement is not worth the tradeoff though? Reason I ask is I'm gonna ride out to Idaho in a couple weeks and normally I wouldn't use studs... But with the chance of snow in the Rockies and the added wear to my favorite 606's it's looking like a possibility. 4- Or if your/I'm running mostly on bare roads, are the studs only going to cause less traction and offer less +'s? Thanx for any info, sorry to bother ya in the middle of a kick ass ride Hope today is going GOOD! |

F800GS Well! It has been over 3 weeks now and I think it is safe to say I can efficiently compare my Faithful Frosty (650 Dakar) to it. Of course at the beginning I was jaded with Frosty. After all she has done what no other bike of her size or kind or anything has done 1) She has gone from Victoria BC to Cape Spear Newfoundland, close to 9000 kms without a glitch 2) She has gone from Victoria BC to Goose Bay Labrador and back to Joliette Quebec without a problem. And this; with a sidecar attached to her carrying 120 lbs of survival gear. And in doing so has also been ridden in temperatures down to -61 C without problems. 3) She has done the Frozen Butt Tour, 3000 kms from Baie-Comeau Quebec to Cartwright Labrador and back without problem. The only thing she had was that ice was forming at the bottom of the air box, clogging the engine case breather hose, which in turn, popped out the hose on top of the valve cover and she spewed oil... It was just messy and has by no means caused a mechanical problem. So the F800 GS is competing with a formidable adversary.. Handling?? Better on the Dakar for one reason. The front end of the 800 is too light and feels vague at anything than 120 km/h. Not the Dakar. With that said, it does not mean that it dos not handle well. It is just that when you hit soft deep stuff (Snow) on the 800 you go down like right now. The Dakar allows you some play and you can correct. Power? No match. The power of the 800 is addictive no doubt. It launches like-well! Like an 800 GS! Power to weight ratio is incredible. I find the acceleration more powerful and more natural than the big 1200. And the Dakar is no match. But I never, in the 115,000 kms I have on Frosty longed for more power. Your call... If one likes to be able to say, It is nice to have when you need it! and/or if you like bragging rights around in front of the motel with all the big GSs parked with their camping gear on? Then, sure! Comfort? I find my Dakar more comfortable than the 800 GS. But this does not mean anything, as it is a very unique to you and personal thing. Nothing bar risers, better seat (The High stock one is great for my ass and I love it) and other comfort improving farkles cannot fix. Fuel consumption? No match! The Dakar wins. I find it hard to see why such a great bike as the 800 GS would be built with such small range capability. If I ran short of gas in summer at -35 c, I am sure I would run short in summer. I know many 800 owners who say the same thing. Of course it can be corrected with the $2500 auxiliary fuel tanks from TT, but Damn!!!!! That is mucho deneiros Hombre!!! Finish? Well! What can I say? It is a BMW and hence top notch. So to answer the question, Would I own one to do what I do? I have to say yes for two reasons. 1) I would because they do not make the Dakar anymore, and that the 800 GS has really grown on me. I am comfortable on it and I find ways to navigate around its weaknesses. And those weaknesses are not the type that would or should keep anyone from getting one; including me. 2) At one point Frosty will retire and I will/might keep her as my trip around the world bike. If something happened to my 2004 1150 GSA, I would have to replace my touring bike with one bike and it would be the 800 GS. I owned a 1200 GSA at the same time I had my 1150 GSA and sold the 1200. I trust the 1150 (150,000 kms without problems). I cannot say the same thing about the 1200. My opinion only! It would be without hesitation a 800 because from what I can see it is magnificent on the open generally speaking and is the next best thing to a Dakar for Extreme winter riding. One last thing! The valve gasket has blown out on both 800s requiring me to push them back in with a screwdriver once the bike was warm. They now leak oil, bit nothing major. Maybe 3 tablespoons per 2-3 days.. |

2- You mention the studs cutting down on treadwear and thats kinda good. Yes they do. I have on this trip so far over 6000 kms on the TKC's and no sign of wear. I have a set at home with 25k on it and they still have about 50 % left. 3-Would you say the loss of traction on bare pavement is not worth the tradeoff though? Which lost of traction. I have yet to feel anything that is worth noticing.. If you put the all the way to the edge, i am sure you would lose traction on asphalt. But i do not use them that far on the pattern. On a scale of 10 for traction and s sense of safety and feeling secure? I would give them a 10 Reason I ask is I'm gonna ride out to Idaho in a couple weeks and normally I wouldn't use studs... But with the chance of snow in the Rockies and the added wear to my favorite 606's it's looking like a possibility. Get some! You will never regret it. get the #06's 4- Or if your/I'm running mostly on bare roads, are the studs only going to cause less traction and offer less +'s? No! Not at all. I have done almost 10,000 kms on bare asphalt on a set and at no time did I feel I was losing traction. Plus when you brake lock the wheel at night, the sparks show is awesome! Plus Like I always said, you can remove them easily when you want Thanx for any info, sorry to bother ya in the middle of a kick ass ride You are not bothering me at all. isn't that what we do as motorcyclists? help each other and love doing it? Any time Buddy! Hope today is going GOOD! |

Would more rear shock preload help out the vauge front end feeling in the snow? I know it helps out me on soft gravel roads, especially if I have too much gear in the rear bags.

We made it to Inuvik. We never saw warmer then - 30 C but Man! Was it worth it.. I will be a while without posting as we are entering the Tuk Ice road in two days and spending till then in Inuvik.
Let's jus say that no words can describe the Dempster in winter on two wheels. Nothing!! This has been mind numbing.. The scenery, the challenge and the feeling one has is hard to describe. At one point looking at the mountains covered with snow as far as the eyes can see brought tears to my eyes. The realization of how lucky I am to be here doing this and seeing all this was more than I could put in words. The pictures do not even come close to show what it is really like. paulmondor screwed with this post 03-09-2011 at 09:42 PM |

I think you are right
Most of us really have no idea what it is like to do what you guys are doing or seeing...your pictures help but you are one lucky guy for sure to be able to handle riding in the weather you are and to see the north at this time of year.
Not sure I would ever tackle this as I truly hate the cold but good on you and thanks for the RR so we can live vicariously through your eyes and words. |

Welll!!! It has been another epic ride… The ride from Whitehorse to Dawson City was a freaking nice and long and cold one. The temps hovered all day around -25 to -30C. I wanted cold shot for this trip? We got it. But the scenery was really amazing. (Nothing compared to what the Dempster was about to throw at us) On our way there we stopped at Braeburn Lodge where they served the biggest baddest Cinnamon buns I have ever seen. The guy who runs the joint though is the most miserable person I have ever met. he is actually known for it. We were told that he does not like anything else but Harley riders. So after we got our food. (We shared a bun and took one to go) I told Joe making sure we were heard that "You would not be out here if you owned an HD as the thing would be in your garage now" I got no laughter except from our group and the truckers that were there. These trucks have the "Don't F%$#@ with me" charisma all over them. they are built for this and inspire respect. Having been a trucker myself I can tell you I was drooling looking at them. Those guys are the real thing too. None of these clown who are glorified on the Ice Road truckers program. While we were there I also made another furry friend. I love dogs.. The road was mainly covered with packed snow (Ice) and the traffic was not that bad. Maybe 10-15 trucks and trucks???? The whole way.. It was a 520 clicks day and I sure felt like it when we got there. We signed in and went to catch some badly some ZZZZZZ's The Dawson City Hotel surte is not as busy as in summer when the street is packed with bikes…. What can I say? Really! When we left from Dawson City, it was -31 C. That was OK. But, I m getting ahead of myself here. Naturally while we were there we had to do the Sour Toe cocktail. To those who do not know what it is, it is a mummified human toe that is preserved in pickling salt. To be certified you have to drink it with a cocktail that is higher than 40 % alcohol or what they call proof. It also has to touch your lip to count. Or if you want to be bad ass all the way (Like Me! See Picture) you can put it in your mouth. I asked Dick the owner of the hotel and the master of the ceremony what would happen if one swallowed it. He just grinned and said that he/she would not be allowed to leave. After getting certified we wound down and got ready for the day after and the Dempster. Dick the Hotel's owner told us to put our bikes in his heated shed the day we got there. It was a good idea as Joe's bike sprouted a leak on the valve cover gasket. We bout some Gluzall and fixed it while it was in the warmth. They are known to have problem with their valve cover gaskets in normal weather. Obviously this will push its limits. We left the following day and headed to the big D. Like I said, it was -31C. We were pretty happy to be there. But the day started badly as Joe's helmet (Zox snowmobile helmet) turns out to be a helmet that does not work in certain conditions. His glasses kept icing up. As I, on the other hand with my Bombardier BS2V had no issues. This helmet rocks!!!! We kept trying with different balaclavas to no avail. I told him I would build him a mask once we got to Eagle Plains with Duct tape. This trip is turning into a "Duct tape discovery trip" The road to Eagle Plains is 370 kms… By midway the temp had warmed up to -25C. It stayed there all the way to Eagle Plains. I will let the pictures do the talking. We had an awesome dinner at the restaurant and the accommodation was great too. Quiet and clean and the lady at the front and the staff were great. They also told us to put the bikes in the Transport shed.. Perfect!!!! This place is pretty high and on top of a plateau. The view from it is phenomenal and the sunset was unreal…. My first job was to make Joe a mask that would allow him to ride without frosting his glasses. I made a mask lined with a facecloth that deflected the breathed air away from the helmet, hence not causing condensation, and keeping the inside of the helmet dry. It worked like a ht damn. He mad e to Inuvik no problem. We fueled in the morning after a great breakfast and were on our way to Inuvik. What the road is like and the scenery is like I cannot put in words. It is like you are in another world. The conditions wee hard as the road had been closed a week and a half ago because of a bad storm. There was a lot of snow drifts and dicey parts.. speeds were anywhere between 30 km/h and 80 km/h. the temps stayed at close to -25 C all day.. It is so beautiful it is alien. Unless you have seen something like this in winter, there are no words that can convey the beauty. So will let the pictures to the talk.. The ride to Inuvik was a 380 kms of absolute glory. That is all I can say. And we met some of the locals as well Once we got to Inuvik, we stayed at the Arctic chalets. Nice quaint little place where they have dog sleds and snowmobiles and cabins in a-well-arctic settings. We had a restful night and went to Inuvik the next morning (Today) I will keep this for another post. Tomorrow we are doing the Tuk ice road. This year they carved it differently because of weather and awful storms.. That is what we were told. We will see. Iceman Out paulmondor screwed with this post 03-10-2011 at 08:23 PM |

We made it
We made it to Tuk. We left Inuvik at 10 AM yesterday and made it here around five PM.. Not bad for 190 kms.. It was the best evn though the ice road had never been this bad. They had closed it for a week and reopened it a week and a half ago.
Temperatures??? with the windchill it got to -48C/ Yep!!!! Will post later when I can. There is so much more.. It is painful!! Really is! paulmondor screwed with this post 03-12-2011 at 05:19 PM |

"Mount Madonna School's Ramayana!, the best school pageant ever. BUT, the reality goes far beyond. Yes, indeed, all actors are students at the school from preschool to seniors, but the quality of the production raises it to the level of true art."
–Paul Myrvold Entertainment Editor, Out & About Magazine
The Play
The Ramayana! is an annual all-school event in which the entire student body takes part. This magical theatrical production of drama, dance and song has been entertaining audiences for over 35 years. In the preschool years students may begin by taking part in the ever-popular forest animal scene. Gradually they work their way through various small parts as dancers, singers, monkeys, demons, and martial artists until they finally emerge in the lead roles in their high school years. Behind the scenes, a large supporting cast of parents, teachers, alumni and Mount Madonna Center staff take on the roles of prop makers, costumers, make-up artists, technicians, musicians, stage crew, and concessionaries. This makes the Ramayana our largest school event of the year.
Please consider supporting the Ramayana! by advertising in the playbill. Playbill advertising plays a crucial role in underwriting this production and maintaining the quality performances year after year. Advertisement dollars help offset the significant costs of costumes, special effects, make-up, transportation, theater rental, and more.

More Background on the Story
What could be better than a story with a prince and princess in love, gold-spangled costumes, smoke-breathing dragon, and a heroic rescue? Now in its 37th year, Mount Madonna School's dazzling show is the longest running western production of this timeless Indian epic, and an event for the whole family!
Enduring 2600 years as one of the world's most widely-read classics, Ramayana [pronounced ra-MY-a-na] tells the story of Prince Ram, who, banished from his kingdom, leaves with his true love Sita and brother Lakshman to find a new home. The trio makes its way deep into the forest, encountering an array of magical characters, including: tribal folk and gentle forest animals, giants and wizards, heroic monkeys and bears, an enchanted golden deer and a wild, smoke-breathing dragon!
Mount Madonna School's production, a local tradition since 1978, features a cast of nearly 200 student performers, from preschool through high school, accompanied by a choir and adult musicians. It is a story of love, adventure, separation and an eventual joyous reunion, in an ancient allegory of the battle of good and evil. The show is filled with exciting action, spectacular costuming, family humor and original, live music.
As the story unfolds, relevant, profound and subtle themes emerge—not only the power of goodness and the determination of love, but also the need for compassion to all beings.
A rich performing arts tradition and integrated arts curriculum make MMS performances outstanding. Put aside any stereotypes of what "school play" might bring to mind—think professional quality, phenomenal, authentic costumes, staging, musical talents and dramatic accomplishment. These kids work hard—and it shows!
Bringing Ramayana to life each year is a labor of love for the crew as well, with hundreds of faculty, staff, parents and volunteers contributing in myriad ways. This is testament to the strong volunteer spirit and community-building efforts espoused by Mount Madonna School.

DATE: Will be calculated from "Release Start Date" field.
DEARBORN - Jeff Miller, Manufacturing BIT, took a Polar Plunge on Saturday, Feb. 9, to raise money for the Special Olympics.
Miller commented that Saturday was a beautiful day to jump in a frozen lake. The weather was a balmy 27 degrees with light winds and plenty of sunshine. The water was a bit warmer than the air…probably about 32.5 degrees.
"It was a great day for a swim. I didn't stay in very long because I forgot my sunscreen, " he joked.
Miller was among 150 folks who jumped in Bellville Lake for a good cause. The event raised $36,000 overall.
Polar Plunges are a Law Enforcement Torch Run (LETR) event. LETR is one of the largest grassroots fundraisers for Special Olympics globally. LETR consists of officers from both Law Enforcement and Corrections who raise funds and create awareness for Special Olympics of Michigan (SOMI) year round.
By participating in a Polar Plunge around the state, participants help to raise funds for over 19,000 athletes who participate in SOMI.
SOMI is a year round program offering sports for those with intellectual disabilities. Although sports is the "vehicle," the ultimate goal of Special Olympics is to help persons with intellectual disabilities participate and receive respect as members of their communities.
Miller was moved by the support of his colleagues and thanks everyone who donated to the Special Olympics through his Polar Plunge. Because of your generosity, he was able to raise $680 to help the 19,000+ athletes here in Michigan. Thank you!!!

Police wearing full riot gear advanced three times on a crowd of about 500 chanting students who threw bottles and rocks at them in Castle St, before the crowd was forced backwards to the University of Otago campus and dispersed about 2am this morning.
Multiple arrests were made in what had been expected to be a relatively trouble-free night after a small turn-out for a rogue Undie 500-style rally from Christchurch on Friday and a quiet day in the student quarter yesterday.
More than 100 police officers rostered on for the weekend, which last year ended in student mayhem involving thousands of people and more than 60 arrests, were unable to contain students who gathered on Castle St to watch a couch fire set just as more young people poured from the Gardens Tavern about 11.50pm last night.
When a police skirmish line was set up around the fire students started danced in the street, chanting "scarfies on the piss" and throwing bottles at police. About 30 minutes later officers donned riot gear as they worked to clear the street.
Dunedin area police commander Inspector Dave Campbell said last night he was "thoroughly disappointed" by what happened.
"We thought the situation was under control, the day had gone quietly, it was pretty low-key, everyone was well behaved. This was definitely unexpected."
When police went in to break up the disorder, they became the entertainment, he said. He blamed the disorder on people drinking too much alcohol.
Asked if he was disappointed the arrival of about 100 Christchurch students in Dunedin on Friday as part of an unofficial Undie 500-style rally (the official 2008 Undie 500 was canned after last year's events) had apparently sparked another night of chaos Insp Campbell said he was not sure if those people were to blame.
"I don't know that we can blame Canterbury students for this one. There was only a small number of Canterbury students here. We may have to look at Otago students this time."

Agree with what Staire says. Hey its a lot easier if we call everyone students, seems a lot better than "youth" Yes the people throwing bottles etc are idiots, I'm a student, and I wasn't anywhere near these students, nor do I know anyone who was there or condemns what happens. But still as an "Otago Student" I am now part of the problem, if we listen to this publication.
Well, I'm a student. I see lots of students in those photos, especially around the Staff Club. There are lots of photographs of lots of people drunk, along with disorderly conduct, as well as harassing the NZ Police. They are clearly students, and some that are not. Prosecute. Incarcerate. Expel. The challenge for the University of Otago, is to enforce its own code of conduct within the 'Independent Student Ghetto of the South'. If you are there, on camera, when you shouldn't be, then you should be expelled and prevented from entering ANY Australasian University. As for their parents.... Bill them for the full costs. If your children can afford to get drunk like this, then you are responsible. Dunedin ratepayers don't need this,. The New Zealand taxpayer should not fund a giant day care institution. Yours, Bamm
'From what I've gathered'? And what percentage of non-students lives on or frequents Castle Street? Get a grip. Of course it was students, and a pretty fair reflection of the prevalent student culture. That is, infantile, conservative, unintellectual and generally pretty pig ignorant. In that respect you got the bogan bit right, but that doesn't mean they ain't students.
First of all, the ODT claims that 500 people were causing the disturbance, while Radio New Zealand says there were 300 . In addition, ODT chooses to play the blame game by first stating that the crowd was composed exclusively of students, when there were several non-students present (just like last time). Last; an appalling lack of sources! Only inspector Campbell was interviewed for this article, and they choose to take his word alone for being enough proof against Otago students.
'crowd of about 500 chanting students who threw bottles and rocks at them in Castle St,' Really? They where all students? Most of the students I know think the people chanting and throwing bottles are idiots and that the majority of them don't even attend University or Polytech. From what I've gathered the people starting trouble were bogans and people from similar groupings and not 'students'. But hey let's not report that... Let's hate on the students. Bad form Otago Daily Times.

Immunogold localization of a developmentally regulated, tapetal-specific, 15kDa lily anther protein.
We have confirmed that the LLA-15 polypeptide of Lilium longiflorum is (a) tapetum specific with some expression possible in the adjacent middle layer cells and (b) relatively abundant as evidenced by the high density of gold particles localized to the tapetal cells. We have established that the protein is cytoplasmic and not associated with organelles, membranes, extracellular matrix or wall. We also report an amino acid composition of the molecule and a partial sequence which bears no resemblance to any protein yet described.
