Although this restaurant is a 10-minute drive from downtown, its location in an underground cavern makes it extremely popular. A candlelit rock stairway leads to a setting that's part Carlsbad Caverns, part The Flintstones. Some of the "cavernous" rooms are for lounging, some for drinking, some for eating, some for dancing. Creative lighting casts the stalactites and stalagmites in pale shades of violet, blue, and pink. Although the setting is the highlight, the food—including the cenote duck, chile Mexico lindo, lobster, and steak—is also quite good. With a packed house, this place can get rather musty and humid.

I'm really disappointed with Alux Restaurant Bar Lounge, last night I went with my mom and my boyfriend and had a very bad time. We had a reservation for 21:15 and arrived on time, but nobody seemed to care as we were invited to pass into an empty room (the bar?) and we were left waiting there for more than 20 minutes. After a reasonable time I approached the cashier to ask if we would be accommodated at some point. Only then the guy that handled
the bookings started to prepare the table, so the time we waited before was in vain. We sat at a table that left much to be desired (next to some speakers, my boyfriend was looking at the wall and there was a tray in my chair). They brought the menu and we began to choose what to eat. How long can it take to choose what you will eat? More than 25 minutes passed and nobody came to take the order! A shame really. After 45 minutes of been completely ignored by the staff we decided to get up and leave Alux since it was 22:00 and we had not eaten. When we were leaving, the guy in charge of reservations asked us if there was a problem, we said yes, it's been 45 minutes since we reached Alux Restaurant and we got no service. He poorly tried to apologize but it really didn't seem to matter since he did nothing to keep us in there and keep us as customers. Alux was full yesterday because it is high season now, but they shouldn't forget that it doesn't last all year. This is the second time I go to Alux since I live in Playa del Carmen and, while my mom is visiting, I wanted to show her the place. Last time, in mid-September, the service was not the best, at least not the one that corresponds to a fine restaurant, but it was not as disappointing as the poor treatment received yesterday. It is a pity they don't care for their local customers, finally, we are the ones that can go again and again and recommend or not the place. After I made a claim to the restaurant after this incident and they promise me a courtesy dinner I re-booked for next Sunday and they confirmed. The same day they sent me and email saying that that Sunday the restaurant would be close for maintenance and that I should change my reservation. Don't go to Alux Restaurant unless you want to be really mistreated! Sincerely, Lucía Rivero

What an incredibly cool place to go for dinner when in Playa del Carmen! Simply tell the taxi driver to take you to the "cave restaurant" if you can't remember how to say Alux (Ah-LOOSH) and you'll be whisked to the oddest location, leaving you wondering how there is going to be a cave? After descending a staircase, you will find yourself in the beginning of a very interestingly decorated cave, complete with stalagtites and stalagmites. And
fortunately, no bats. My husband, two daughters (20 and 18) were there for dinner in Jan. 2009. We were escorted to a table in the dining area of the cave (there are separate areas for different activities - a lounge, a bar, a dining area, etc). Our waiter was wonderful, putting up with my incredibly bad Spanish. We ordered a drink and the seafood appetizer that was the rather typical heavily breaded calamari, shrimp and fish -- not bad at all. We decided to stay for dinner and my younger daughter and I had the duck confit in a raspberry sauce with garlic mashed potatoes. Hubby had a large steak (I can't recall which one he settled on) and my daughter had the arracheta steak. While everything was fairly good, it definitely was over-salted (to which someone piped up that Tom Colicchio would have sent the chef home for not tasting before he served). Still, compared to the food at the all-inclusive resort we were staying at -- this was wonderful. A nice enough wine list was also available as well as an extensive bar and cocktail menu. We had a nice Malbec with dinner... I believe it was from somewhere in South America (had I known I'd be writing a review, I'd have made notes!) Prices were on the expensive side. We paid about 2200 pesos for the dinner for the four of us, one round of drinks, and a bottle of wine. Not really that different than we'd pay at home, but some other reviews mentioned that it was one of the pricier places in Playa del Carmen. Regardless of the price... I still think it is one of the more interesting places in PDC to go! Oh... I forgot to mention that the evening's entertainment, a guitarist, was excellent! He sang a combination of American and Mexican music and was very, very talented.

I have used Find A Babysitter on two occasions when returning to work after maternity leave. The first time was to find a nanny for our then 18 month old girl and then further down the track, when I was returning to work after having our second child and my girls were 4 and 1. Each time we found fantastic, reliable, loving (but firm) nannies that became part of our family for the time that they were with us. Our current nanny is due to have her first child in December, so I will subscribe again shortly and start my search again. I have recommended Find A Babysitter to many work colleagues and friends over the past 4 years.Michelle (Cheltenham, VIC) Read More

Evolution of duplicated IgH loci in Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar
- Equal contributors
1 Department of Biology, University of Victoria, PO Box 3020 STN CSC, Victoria, British Columbia, V8W 3N5, Canada
2 Department of Molecular Biology and Biochemistry, Simon Fraser University, 8888 University Drive, Burnaby, British Columbia, V5A1S6, Canada
BMC Genomics 2010, 11:486 doi:10.1186/1471-2164-11-486Published: 2 September 2010
The Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) immunoglobulin heavy chain (IgH) locus possesses two parallel IgH isoloci (IGH-A and IGH-B), that are related to the genomic duplication event in the family Salmonidae. These duplicated IgH loci in Atlantic salmon provide a unique opportunity to examine the mechanisms of genome diversity and genome evolution of the IgH loci in vertebrates. In this study, we defined the structure of these loci in Atlantic salmon, and sequenced 24 bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) clones that were assembled into the IGH-A (1.1 Mb) and IGH-B (0.9 Mb) loci. In addition, over 7,000 cDNA clones from the IgH variable (VH) region have been sequenced and analyzed.
The present study shows that the genomic organization of the duplicated IgH loci in Atlantic salmon differs from that in other teleosts and other vertebrates. The loci possess multiple Cτ genes upstream of the Cμ region, with three of the Cτ genes being functional. Moreover, the duplicated loci possess over 300 VH segments which could be classified into 18 families. This is the largest number of VH families currently defined in any vertebrate. There were significant structural differences between the two loci, indicating that both IGH-A and -B loci have evolved independently in the short time after the recent genome duplication approximately 60 mya.
Our results indicate that the duplication of the IgH loci in Atlantic salmon significantly contributes to the increased diversity of the antibody repertoire, as compared with the single IgH locus in other vertebrates.

I like it when you call me big po-ppa
There's a nice lady who comes by my office every now and then and comments, you're still sitting in the same place you were yesterday... you changed your shirt though. I'm a lead software engineer. So yea, I end up sitting in front of my computer for hours on end during the days. But, I do change clothes every day! It's a demanding job which challenges my technical skills as well as my interpersonal skills (how do you tell someone with 20 years' experience on you that they are doing it all wrong and not ruffle their feathers?) I wouldn't have it any other way though. No matter how much I think I know, there's so much more to learn in my field. You might be thinking, great here's another IT dork... but that's where you would be wrong. I think way too many people think it's cool to be a nerd. I don't. I like to take the ancient Greek philosophy of you have be a well-rounded individual. Socrates was famed warrior and Olympian as well as a philosopher. Being one dimensional is so boring. So, I like to surprise people with other stuff I like doing and I'm not too shabby at. My great passion in life is to create. I love painting. Over the last few years I've gotten into cooking. I've been told I'm a good cookbook chef. So, I'm amazing at following directions. But, I am getting good and improvising and making stuff up based on culinary theory. There's a lot more about me (and most people really) than what can fit onto this space. So, feel free to say hi.

Tide tables and solunar tables for sport fishers in San Diego (Quarantine Station). Find out the forecast for high tides and low tides before setting out to fish, and other fishing-related data such as the lunar phase, tidal coefficient, sun and moon rising and setting times, hours of maximum fish activity, weather conditions in San Diego (Quarantine Station) ...
We want you to enjoy to the max a well-planned fishing expedition! Good luck!
Today Saturday, 4th of July of 2015, the sun rose in San Diego (Quarantine Station) at 5:46 am and sunset will be at 8:00 pm. The moon set at 8:37 am at 255º southwest. Eventually, the moon will rise again in the southeast (102º) at 10:07 pm.
In the high tide and low tide chart, we can see that the first low tide was at 5:48 am and the next low tide will be at 5:26 pm. The first high tide was at 12:09 pm and the next high tide will be at 11:26 pm.
The lunar phase is a Waning Gibbous. Today we have 14 hours and 14 minutes of sun. The solar transit is at 12:53 pm and the length of time the moon will be visible will be 10 hours and 30 minutes.
The tidal coefficient today is 93. With such a hight coefficient we will have big tides and the currents will also be very evident. At noon the tidal coefficient drops to 91 to end the day with a tidal coefficient of 88. The tide heights today are -1.0 ft, 4.6 ft, 2.0 ft and 5.9 ft. We can compare these levels with the maximum high tide recorded in the tide tables for San Diego (Quarantine Station) which is of 7.5 ft and a minimum height of -2.0 ft.
The solunar fishing calendar in San Diego (Quarantine Station) tells us that today is an average day for fishing, the fish activity forecast is average. Please, read more about solunar tables. The best times of day for fishing are:
Tide timetable for San Diego (Quarantine Station). The times are generated in local time in California and the daylight saving time change is calculated automatically, so you don't need to add or subtract anything. You will also have the lunar phase, sunrise and sunset times, the tidal coefficient and the average fish activity forecast for each day according to the solunar tables:
[ 0 low activity ] , [ average activity ] , [ high activity ] , [ very high activity ]
NOTE: The times reflected in the tide table for San Diego (Quarantine Station) are tide forecasts only valid as references for sport fishing. They shouldn't be used as a guide for navigation. The heights are expressed in feet referenced to Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW).
MLLW is the average of the lower low water height of each tidal day observed over the official time segment over which tide observations are taken and reduced to obtain mean value (Tidal Datum Epoch).

The Farthest Thing From Pressure Cooking
Published: January 16, 2002
(Page 4 of 4)
2. Pour all but 1 tablespoon fat from pot. Place back on medium-high heat. Add leek, garlic and onion, stirring to coat and scraping any bits stuck to pan. Sauté until caramelized on edges. Pour in wine, and bring to a boil. Return lamb to pot, along with the bones; pour in just enough broth so liquid reaches a third of the way up the side of the lamb.
3. Bring to a simmer, cover pot and transfer to oven. Braise 1 hour, and turn lamb. Regulate heat, if needed, so the liquid is just gently bubbling. Braise 60 to 90 minutes longer. When the lamb is tender, turn it once more; turn off heat, and let cool in oven. When cool, chill overnight in the refrigerator.
4. The next day, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Remove fat that has collected at top, and discard. Lift lamb from gelatin, scraping off excess. Pull meat from bones, and reserve; discard bones. Scrape gelatin into a small saucepan. Place over high heat, and reduce by half; taste, and adjust seasoning. Meanwhile, carve lamb into 1/2-inch slices, and arrange slices in base of cooking pot with reserved meat from bones. In a small sauté pan, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil over high heat. Add tomatoes, and cook until reduced and lightly caramelized. Season with salt, and spoon over lamb. Sprinkle with olives, and strain the reduced cooking liquid on top. Place in oven, and heat through, basting frequently, 20 to 30 minutes. Serve.
Yield: 6 servings.
Adapted from ''Lulu's Provençal Table,'' by Richard Olney (HarperCollins)
Time: 5 hours, plus overnight marinating
4 pounds boned beef shank and chuck, cut into 3-ounce pieces (ask your butcher to reserve bones from shanks)
8 ounces lean unsmoked bacon, in a single slice if possible, cut across into lardons 1/3 inch thick
3 large carrots, one peeled and thinly sliced, two peeled and cut diagonally into 1/4-inch slices
2 small onions, sliced into thin rings
3 branches thyme
2 bay leaves
2 large sprigs parsley
2 strips tangerine peel, left overnight to dry
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 cups young, deeply colored tannic red wine, preferably Provençal
Coarse sea salt or kosher salt
Bouquet garni (thyme, bay leaf, strip of dried tangerine peel, celery stalk and parsley tied in a bundle)
1 pound fusilli, penne rigate or any large pasta ridged or ruffled in shape
2 tablespoons butter
Freshly grated Parmesan.
1. In a large nonreactive bowl, intermingle beef, bacon, thinly sliced carrot, onions, thyme, bay leaves, parsley, tangerine peel and olive oil. Cover with red wine. Marinate, covered, overnight, stirring 2 or 3 times.
2. Next day, preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place bones in a small roasting pan, and roast until deeply browned on the edges, 20 to 30 minutes. Lower heat to 250 degrees. Strain marinade into another bowl; discard vegetables and herbs. In a fait-tout, Dutch oven or other heavy pot, preferably earthenware, layer meats, seasoning with salt, and place bouquet garni and roasted bones between layers. Pour marinade on top.
3. Place in oven. Braise, turning top layer of meat every hour or so, about 4 hours. Adjust heat to maintain the barest simmer. When tender, remove as much fat from surface as possible; discard bouquet garni. At this point, you can serve it (or wait a day to let the taste improve). To refine it a little, strain cooking broth into a small saucepan, add remaining sliced carrots and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce by half; taste and adjust seasoning. Pour broth and carrots back into pot with meat and bones, and return to oven to warm.
4. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta, and cook until al dente. Drain pasta, and pour into a serving bowl. Add butter and about 1/2 cup of beef cooking broth; stir to coat. Taste, and adjust seasoning. At the table, have diners serve themselves some pasta, sprinkle on a little Parmesan and spoon over beef and carrots with some broth. If desired, serve bones for diners to scoop out the marrow.
Yield: 6 servings.

Ryan Braun may have won his appeal, but he has lost plenty of fans. He will not be punished in any way for allegedly testing positive for elevated levels of testosterone, but the issue was one with the handling of the sample rather than the results themselves. Braun may not have taken anything illegal, but it certainly looks like he's fortunate somebody failed to do their job properly. Fans know that, which is why Braun has already had to listen to hecklers during spring training.
According to the Journal Sentinel, Braun received a warm welcome from the Brewers fans in attendance in Phoenix on Sunday for his first game action since the controversy. Others were not as kind.
During the N.L. MVP's first at-bat, one small group of fans chanted, "Urine sample! Urine sample!" Another fan screamed, "You're a cheater!" when Braun strolled to the plate for the second time. He struck out both times.
"It's certainly going to be an adjustment, but overall it is not something that really factors into my thought process or preparations, too much," Braun said when asked about the fans.
Braun will certainly have to get used to it if he wants to continue his All-Star caliber play this season. He may still have a decent approval rating in Wisconsin, but there are many fans across the country who believe he got lucky with his appeal and are going to let him hear about it. Maybe a call to Barry Bonds would help.

GT250 Comet vs. GT250R
Thanks for the update. We might also be talking a bit at cross purposes.
The Comet is an upright naked while the GT250R is a race-replica. Think (literally) SV-650 vs SV650S. The GT250R is definitely a lower riding position than the Ninja. I've riden it locally (Seattle), and it does have dual disks. I've also seen the shop manual. It is the same frame as the GT650R (also a race-replica, with the precursor of the current Suzuki SV motor). They both must have the new frame that you were talking about.
I got the dry weight from the Hyosung brochure for the 2006 GT250R, and it is claimed at 408 lbs. With the heavier frame, dual disks, and bodywork, that might make sense in comparison to the naked Comet at 341 lbs. On the other hand, the dry weight of the GT650R is 463 lbs (where the current SV-650S is claimed at 372 lbs.). Of course, some discrepancies will exist with / without the battery, etc.
I agree that the GT250R feels more like a "full sized" machine. The Ninja 250 runs on 16" wheels, and standard 17" wheels and a 650 class frame make a huge difference.
To me, the Ninja 250 is 1988 technology with minor updates, while the GT250R is 1998 technology (without the 1998-vintage GSXR brakes and suspension). Still, it is a really good effort at a terrific price point. I just can't see myself buying a GT250-R that weighs more than the current SV-650S (which itself also lacks a modern suspension and brakes). The Comet doesn't ring my bell. What to do? I guess I just really like the Ninja 250 riding community, too!
I'm glad that you really like the Hyosung. I believe that they will be successful and have only one way to go - UP!
I don't know where I got the "Chinese" bit. I knew that they co-developed the early Suzuki SV motor. My brain needs a reset.

Confronting those who compromise your comfort and job security can be very difficult for many people, but standing up for yourself is essential in the workplace.
If you can't stop thinking about a problem with someone at work- be it a bullying boss, a subversive coworker, or a sexist client- it's important to know that you can take control of the situation. This class will allow students to explore what feeds these kinds of behaviors, ways to address these situations, and when to call for outside assistance.
In 11 easy to follow lessons, students will learn to identify various types of difficult personalities and address conflict before it begins to chip away at their well-being and job satisfaction.

Course Lessons
Lesson 1 : Course IntroductionDealing with a difficult or toxic personality can be damaging both emotionally and physically, particularly if the person is your boss or sitting in the cubicle right next to you.
Lesson 2 : Basic Conflict ResolutionThis lesson may be a review of what you learned in grade school, but some grown-ups don't play by the rules. In the midst of dealing with a difficult person, it's easy to forget the fundamentals of conflict resolution.
Lesson 3: Understanding Body LanguageThe messages conveyed by their body language are known as subtext, a term that is often used in the acting world to describe the underlying meaning of what is being said.
Lesson 4: BulliesGarnering a reputation for being a jerk breeds the contempt and mistrust of others, and has been shown to diminish chances for pay raises and promotions.
Lesson 5: Power Struggles: Handling Critics, Rivals, and Power FreaksThis lesson identifies a few categories of difficult people who all have one thing in common. They are in pursuit of, you guessed it, power.
Lesson 6: Slackers and Energy VampiresNot only has slacking been labeled by many news stories as a workplace epidemic, there are numerous articles that attempt to illustrate the very little risk involved in turning in a below average performance.
Lesson 7: Office GossipOffice gossip can be immensely damaging to productivity and morale, and obviously, no one likes to be gossiped about.
Lesson 8: Problematic PersonalitiesSome people are just hard to deal with. In this lesson we'll discuss several types of troublesome behavior and ways to address them without ruining your day.
Lesson 9: When Men and Women Collide: Gender Differences in the WorkplaceIn this lesson, we'll discuss some common differences in the communication styles of men and women, and ways to address conflict that may arise from these differences.
Lesson 10: When The Bully Is Your BossMany bosses fall into the category of power freaks. Whether the impulse to micro-manage and control is manifested in aggressive or passive-aggressive ways, a power freak boss can often leave you feeling stressed and walking on eggshells.
Lesson 11: Successful CollaborationThis lesson will explore some of the keys to effective collaboration. Developing solutions as a team can sometimes be as difficult for adults as sharing a toy box is for a group of kids.

Posted November 21, 2012 on AP on Fox
Brady Quinn is getting another shot on the Kansas City Chiefs' quarterback merry-go-round. Coach Romeo Crennel announced Wednesday that Quinn will start Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos, regaining the job he lost when he sustained a concussion against Oakland. Quinn was cleared to play last week against Cincinnati and came on in the second half for the ineffective Matt Cassel, who was the starter early in the season before sustaining his own concussion. That thrust Quinn, a former first-round draft pick, into the starting lineup against Tampa Bay, and when Cassel was cleared to play, Crennel decided to stick with Quinn on a permanent basis. He lasted less than a quarter before getting hurt against the Raiders on Oct. 28.

I first bought a troy built weed eater and had trouble with the line feed so I took it back then I bought a huskenavarna same trouble plus it would die out when hot. Then I went a professional lawn care store and talked to a rep and bought the echo pas-225 what a pleasure to operate this is so much better than the other two I bought at the big box stores
cape coral, FL
I purchased a PAS-225 power head, 99944200615 curved shaft trimmer, and 99944200513 tiller. I used the tiller first, was very impressed with how easy the power head started right out of the box. The tiller attachment hooked up easily and securely. The 225 had enough power to till through some very hard clay dirt in a flower bed. Used the trimmer head a few days later. Trimmer attachment hooked up just as easy and securely as the tiller. The 225 has the perfect amount of power for the typical homeowner.
Greenville, OH
Extremely easy to get PAS-225VP operational!!! The performance is great. The other edgers I've had have been marginal, at best. Quality of workmanship is great! I am now looking at more accessories for the power unit!
Round Rock, TX
Bought a PAS system to replace my 2nd broken Craftsman in 2 years. Should've bought it much earlier. The edger and trimmer attachments are very easy to use, and are very efficient at cutting. Unbelievable power!!! The engine is super quiet compared to the other brands. I already own an Echo blower. There's no going back to any other brand now!
Jacksonville, FL
I felt compelled to write to you regarding my first experience purchasing an ECHO product. I recently purchased a home on 2.5 acres and it's mostly level, which means a lot of yard work. I have a friend who is a professional landscaper who suggested I look into ECHO products. I had gone to Home Depot and stood in front of the ECHO Trimmers for about 10 minutes as I had some questions, but the 2 gentleman in the department walked past me several times and never offered me assistance. I left Home Depot with the intent of visiting the Issaquah Honda Kubota Inc elite dealer (IHK). I walked in to the IHK dealer and approached a gentleman at a desk there and he offered to help me. His name was Joel Tappe. It was like I stepped back into the 1950's. He asked me about my application (property) and then showed me the options. I selected the PAS series unit and he immediately offered to assemble it and show me how it works. I accepted and we took it to his desk and we put it together. While assembling it he explained the trimmer and how to reload the wire and about the oil/gas mixture and information about storing it. Once it was assembled he showed me how it worked. Showed me how the attachments swap in/out. He then offered to fill it for me. I again accepted.
It's experiences like this that make me feel like my business was appreciated and for that I will be going back and seeing Joel in a few weeks to purchase the hedge trimmer attachment. When I have any power yard tool needs or questions, I will be visiting IHK and looking for Joel.
I tried looking for a way to provide this feedback to his manager or store owner, but couldn't find anything on the web. I hope this can be sent or delivered to either of those contacts…I want them to know how great my experience was thanks to Joel.
Thank you for your time :)

Ive had an ECHO string timmer for 25+ years and have done nothing but change the spark plug and air filter a few times. I maintain 5 acres with trees everywhere. I just purchased a PAS-230 system with the weed trimmer, brush cutter, and pole saw as I am clearing another 2 acres of fence row and driveway.This is the slickest thing I've ever used; easy starting, just seconds to change attachments, and so well balanced it's effortless to use. All at a very reasonable price. Well done, ECHO! Was well satisfied 25 years ago, even more so now!
Caro, MI
Just purchased a new PAS-2255 Trimmer. Bummed since it won't quit raining so I can put it to work. Bought it for three reasons: First, my brother-in-law has used an echo trimmer for years and swears by it. Second, I like the array of attachments I can use with just one power-source. Third, I asked a small engine repair shop what brand I should buy. He recommended Echo, saying "Your grandkids will use it one day!" Not so sure about that, but still a pretty solid recommendation, coming from someone who goes through scads of trimmer repairs every week. Steve College Station, TX
College Station, TX
The performance of the PAS-225SB is outstanding. It is by far the trimmer I have ever used. It goes above and beyond any other brand on the market. It is a awesome value and quality. Eric in Texas!
