'Rift on the Shadowfell'
Zathras Laurenthal
JC's Character- Eladrine War Wizard
Zathras stands some 5'9" in height. His red hair and green eyes belie his Eladrin origins. His gold skin is only broken by a black tattoo on his right cheek (the symbol of the house of Laurenthal).
He is dressed in an eladrin longcoat…he carries his longsword across his back…
1,750 xp
His name is Zathras Laurenthal.
For centuries the house of Laurenthal has produced some of the most powerful and skilled Elandrin war wizards and swordmages; many have served in the defense of our people, while others have chosen to teach their skills to others as arcane instructors.
One exception was Laertes Laurenthal, Grandfather to Zathras. After he finished his time as a soldier, he became an explorer and adventurer. Many was the time that Laertes would return from an adventure, and would fill Zathras' head with visions of battling monsters and searching ancient ruins. It was these stories in fact, that led Zathras to want to become an explorer himself.
One day however, Laertes left on another adventure…..but never returned.
As soon as Zathras came of the age of manhood, he left his home, with 2 goals to accomplish; to find out what happened to his grandfather, and to reclaim Wildwind – the family sword of the Laurenthals, lost with Laertes.

Day 10. Leaving Russia.
But morning came with surprises.
When Juho came out of tent, he couldn't believe his eyes. How's that possible? His GS parked with all lights on! Where's the key? Still in his pocket! How can the lights be switched on then? Turning ignition on and off with key didn't change much. Lights automatically switched on a minute later again. WE LOVE CANBUS!
Sure that battery was empty after such behaviour. Helpful KTM was nearby
After some charging we could start GS again. Of course now Juho could turn ignition off and remove key but GS didn't bother about this Engine continued running. Next generation BMW bikes could probably drive home alone during night. All future GS owners are supposed to hitch his bikes to prevent them leaving
Those from us without grip heaters created some hand protectors to avoid fingers freezing again. Empty plastic bottles were handy.
At least Juho's engine was running and so we could continue our trip.
We decided not to visit Rybachy peninsula, mostly because of weather, but also because we haven't planned this and it could have taken two additional days. Otherwise we could have turn north here, but now we followed main road to west.
Surprisingly only few km's after our campsite was first border control.
70km before border?! And not just a occasional check, but road closed with bar and soldiers with automatic weapons checking everybodies passports.
Are they so afraid about people leaving Russia? Sure it was very important and secret military area, but we saw such areas also in Finland and Norway and there was only a warning sign about this.
On the other hand russian army was presenting his military technology right next to main road.
Mandatory monument before gates to military base.
Hundred's of armed vehicles parked.
While refueling in Zapoljarnyi, vice president of local motorcycle club came to ask, do we need anything? Can he help us? He was wearing leather vest, probably half an inch thick. It was riveted together, probably they haven't found military grade sewing machine to sew this. We suspected that this vest is also bulletproof. And his nickname was of course "Kozanyi" - Leathery
Very frienldy biker, but most people will probably run away when meeting him in darkness. As already before, everybody have heard about Estonia and many had relatives there too. So was he living in Narva in past for two years.
His bike was also remarkable. When we asked about that huge axe tied to his bike, he answered "it will help you in life" and told a story about somebody stopping him in darkness. After he stopped, they asked him to leave
Another military checkpoint behind us, we approached Nikkel, most depressing city in the world probably. Nothing but mines and rocks.
About 20km before before border, we arrived to third checkpoint. Now with gates too. Armed guards were self-evident. Additionaly to passport check our bike numbers were sent through radio to border station. And they checked our numbers afterwards before letting us to drive to border station!
After such thorough control during last 70km usual procedures on border couldn't surprise us anymore. Another papers (now forms are in english!) to fill, but approximately one hour later our passports and luggage was checked and we are free to leave Russia!
What we remember about this? Many friendly people who are eager to help you. A lot of untouched beautiful nature. Roads what make you grin when you're on an enduro bike. So many places to see.
Will we go back to Russia someday? Definately. To Kola peninsula? There's so many places too see, so probably to some other area next time.
Norway in sight.
Border control in Norway.
"Youre passport please"
"You're from Estonia?"
"Welcome to Norway"
We're in.
Norway welcome's us with beautiful winding roads between mountains.
Beautiful light.
We picked first camping during our trip in Tana Bru.
Right after stopping we decorated our house with wet tents, socks and other accessories. Juho removed battery from GS to prevent CANBUS doing his tricks again.
Warm sauna after freezing many days in Russia - indescribable. Back from sauna, we started preparing supper.
Our norwegian neighbour came to visit us.
Two russian guys arrived to camp with chinese SUV Great Wall.
One company paid them to make tour with this car and post pictures and write stories in internet. They 're heading to Nordkapp tomorrow. SUV has 200000km on clock and only thing that seems to work, is engine. Electrical windows, air condition, radio, everything was broke. But they were still enthusiastic.
We had good time until early morning.
Tomorrow we will take a look of real northernost point of continental Europe and can finally turn back to south to warmer climate.

Wow, we have almost exactly the same pictures of many places, for example the memorial at Murmansk and the military base near Zapoljarny and of course Nikkel. We even ate at the same restaurant (Hutta) in Murmansk!
I don't think it's a good idea to depart from the main road to Kirkenes/Norway after Murmansk. We had a slight "incident" with the DPS, border guards, military police, FSB and such when we tried to take a "slight detour". It was made clear to us that from Murmansk onwards, only the main road to Norway should be used.

Hi Hono! Yes we met in Kirovsk. It's nice to meet in ADVrider too!
It was so cold we decided not to go up to mountains.
Tseta: We were told before trip, that we can take a detour in tundra before first checkpoint near Titovka river. And when we were in Murmansk and asked about Rybachy peninsula, that motorcycle shop owner told us, that we can drive there without restrictions. She was organizing tours there too. And we saw two groups of bikers (one from Poland, other from Bulgaria) heading to Rybachy peninsula. I believe it depends a lot where are you taking that detour

Fantastic RR! You guys are the ultimate motorcycle testers. I wonder if BMW ever reads these reports, if they did they could fix/improve/redesign all of their products to KTM standards. I have been looking forward to a GS1200 adventure for quite some time, but without fail they keep failing as opposed to KTM's
Thanks for providing a true test of machine (and man) Your findings are indisputable, we should all send this RR to BMW!

Day 11.
Long evening was a cause while we got up not much before midday. Of course a change in local time (from +3 GMT in Russia to +1 GMT in Norway) added some too.
Our russian friends had left a gift for us.
And our norwegian neighbour was preparing breakfast - also quite late!
We were ready to leave camp exactly 12.00.
Our plan for today is to reach northernmost point in continental Europe - Gamvik. Actually, Nordkinn (Kinnarodden) cape is few km further north, but it requires 23km walk over rocks (and another 23km back). So Gamvik was good enough for us. Nordkapp, as famous as it is, is just an island and therefore doesn't count.
Off to the mountains. Roads were nice and not too straight. Notice broken topbox frame tied upside down to GS
And while it wasn't raining, clouds were low and we are forced to drive through them, which wasn't a pleasant feeling, 100% humidity and temperatures around +5 Celsius...
Nice sweeping road going to Gamvik.
On higher parts of the road we were again in clouds, visibility not more than 100m, plus many raindeers walking around. Nice place to stay and enjoy view - but not today! Luckily no fog though!
Gamvik. Clean and nice as everything in Norway.
Barents Sea with Nordkinn on background. You can feel the cold and wind.
We made it!
Gamvik lighthouse.
Raindeers walking around in Gamvik.
And now back to south! FINALLY!
It was still gray and cold and we didn't want to stop.
Turning south after Porsanger, sky started to clear and roads were unusually straight for Norway.
We explored also smaller roads up to the mountains.
It looks better there!
Silfar canyon.
And so we drive and drive and drive. Almost until sunset.
Beautiful redcoloured mountains.
We found nice place for our tents next to water reservouir.
Raul had a birthday today. We made a birthday cake for him.
And so ended this day. We covered more than 500km today. Nothing happened, nothing broke. We were well ahead of our plans. Nice smooth european roads. It's so boring!

Srednij and Ribacij
Hi !
As I reed you had great adventure! It is good:)
Ribacij and Srednij is closed for foreign people without special papers. It is possible to ride in and ride out without problems, but if military persons stooped you... you will have problems. May bee lot of problems (it depends). Before riding to this region you need to receive special papers from FSB, if you are not Russian. Be-live me.
You can enjoy the tundra in different areas. Before Titovka chekpoint around hill General or in the path from Prirecnij to Zapolarnij (there no army there are nothing except adventure). But remember from Prirecnij to Zapolarnij it is hard track. All adventures before are soft play.
Good grip!

Hi Martins! Thanks for clearing this thing. It's shows again how you can not trust locals in Russia when asking for route suggestions. For others - Martins aka mazais was that Latvian guy who gave us really invaluable suggestions regarding our route before trip.
But now last days from our trip. There's really not much to say anymore.
Day 12.
It started with beautiful weather again. I was a little worried about my rear tyre as we had 1500km to go and there really wasn't much thread left.
We met Google Streetview car in Karasjok.
Roads were very good and we were cruising toward south.
Nice sandy landscape around Norway-Finland border
When we arrived Finland, my rear GoldenTyre GT200 looked like this. Still more than 1000km to go. And while it was Friday we started thinking that we must find replacement already today. But not many places to get one!
When we arrived Rovaniemi (first bigger city) it was already 8pm. We asked about motorcycle shops from local scooter-gang but of course that shop was already closed! And we didn't want to wait until Saturday. Luckily we found a pile of old tyres behind the shop. And one really nice Michelin T63 there, still some tread left. So we took this tyre with us as a replacement.
Nice bird watching tower with comfy place to have a camp next to Portimojärvi - we will stay here tonight. Sun was already low.
I decided to change my rear tyre now and not wait until it blows up. 4500km with this tyre.
Others made fire and supper at the same time.
Before our trip we booked a ferry from Helsinki to Tallinn for Sunday, but slowly we started thinking, that we will made it already in Saturday - only 800km to go to Helsinki. So we will have early start and hope to arrive Helsinki before 8.30pm.

Day 13 started before 6 am and we had 14 hours to cover 800km. Easy
Still many raindeers walking around. Luckily they all were
quite phlegmatic and just watched us, nobody didn't jump to the highway, so common behavior for wild animals in Estonia.
Long hours in saddle forced us to find comfortable position on saddle. Our favorites. BMW F800 Cruiser
And KTM 950SuperChopper. That 3rd tyre really made a difference!
And so after 12 hours of driving, refueling, driving, driving, refueling, driving, .... we arrived Helsinki, 2 hours before ferry departure, 5000km covered in 13 days.
We met Wolfgang from Germany while waiting in check-in. He bought this Fully-Touratech-Equipped BMW F650Dakar just before his trip around European Union border. He has covered already 9000km in 3 weeks, full trip is planned to be approximately 35000km and he plans to spend 3 months in saddle. Great guy and great trip.
Our ferry arrived just in time.
On board of Viking XPRS, tired but happy.

About the BookRachel's got some pretty strange stuff happening. She can't control her morphing. One minute, she's doing homework. The next, she's morphing a full-grown crocodile, and -- without returning to human form -- she becomes an elephant. That's when the floor gives way and Rachel finds herself looking up at what used to be the kitchen ceiling.
What's going on? No one's sure, but Rachel and the other Animorphs have to figure it out -- quickly. Because if someone sees Rachel's out-of-control morphing, the other Animorphs and Ax are in for some serious trouble...

LARGO, Fla., Jan. 29, 2013 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Bacteriostatic water is a sterile water solution used for injection purposes. The difference between Bacteriostatic water and sterile water is that bacteriostatic water contains .09% benzyl alcohol added as a bacteriostatic preservative and sterile water does not.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130129/CG50189)
The bacteriostatic preservative prevents the growth or reproducing of bacteria within the vial.
According to the American Society of Health System Pharmacists (ASHP) the shortage is due to a combination of manufacturing issues as well as an increase in demand of the product.
Supply is estimated to begin to meet demand sometime in February when the manufacturing issues and supply chain is able to catch up to the demand.
US Peptides however was able to secure several hundred vials of sterile bacteriostatic water for injection through vendors that they have fostered long term and trusted relationships.

1939-09-20 Joe Louis w co 11 (20) Bob Pastor, Briggs Stadium, Detroit, Michigan, USA - WORLD
1939-09-20 Joe Louis w co 11 (20) Bob Pastor, Briggs Stadium, Detroit, Michigan, USA - WORLD. Referee: Sam Hennessey. Down four times in the first and again in the second, few felt after two sessions that Pastor (183) would turn out to be a test for the champion, despite him going ten rounds with Louis (200) early in 1937. Somehow getting through the next two rounds, Pastor started to fight back and in the fifth he landed some heavy blows to Louis' jaw before he was again under pressure in the sixth. Cut badly over the left eye, Pastor stood his ground when staggered by powerful rights in the seventh and came out firing in the eighth, taking Louis before him. If Pastor had carried a heavy blow, Louis would have been done for claimed Nat Fleischer of The Ring magazine. Again in the ninth and tenth, Pastor took the fight to Louis and gave him all manner of problems, including a mouse under the left eye. Unfortunately, not listening to his corner, Pastor came out for the 11th intent on fighting rather than boxing Louis and was counted out on the 38 second mark, having been measured by a solid right to the head followed by two lefts and another right that took his legs away. It had been a tremendous effort and many were left wondering what might have happened had Pastor carried dynamite in his gloves.

If you had told me five years ago that I would consider supporting a draft today, I would have never believed it.
The volunteer army has done an exceptional job for the United States. Drafting young kids who are not interested in serving in the military is an option that is less than desirable. So, why I do think the draft is a very viable idea right now?
There are several reasons. But the first -- and most important -- is that it gets everyone invested in our foreign policy. Wars that we start cease to be far away video games fought by people we don't know. It's one thing to be for a first strike against Iraq or Iran when you know you don't have to fight it; it's another thing entirely when you'll be on the front line.
Rep. Charlie Rangel, D-N.Y., has suggested that we would have never gone into Iraq if we had a draft. He might be right. All the loudmouths who were so brave from the comfort of their couches and their television studios might have thought differently if it was their lives or their children's lives that hung in the balance.
We might never know whether we would have attacked Iraq if we had a draft. But one thing is for sure: we certainly wouldn't be considering attacking Iran right now. Seymour Hersh is reporting in The New Yorker that the vice president's office is actively lobbying for a military strike against Iran, even after the disaster in Iraq. Imagine how Americans would react -- after you sent their kids to die for no reason in Iraq -- if you now told them you were going to do it again in Iran. Let's just say less than favorably.
The problem right now is that we don't all share the pain. It goes all to the volunteer army. And I have heard many Americans -- mostly conservatives -- say over and over that the kids who sign up for the military knew what they were getting into. It almost sounds as if they're saying, "They had it coming." This is an ugly way to justify senseless wars.
People often ask why there were so many protests in the streets during Vietnam and there are very few on Iraq. The answer is very simple. Because all those people in the protests during the Vietnam War could have been drafted and sent off to die in that conflict. Since that's not possible in the Iraq War, people protest comfortably from their living rooms. They're concerned but not personally involved. Once again, it's not their ass on the line.
Cenk Uygur is host of "The Young Turks" on Air America Radio.
The draft might even affect policymakers' decisions on a personal level. Would President Bush have been so excited to do a first strike against Iraq if he knew his daughters were going to be on the front lines? Would he have been as stubborn to "stay the course" if it meant keeping his daughters in Iraq for a couple of more years? Would he even consider sending his daughters to Iran after they survived Iraq?
Come on, be honest with yourself. Even if you're a diehard conservative, do you really believe George W. Bush and all the politicians would have made the same decisions if it was their kids' lives that hung in the balance?

General tips #1
Two weeks ago, we got back from an almost-3-week trip to Europe (Germany, Austria, Italy), and have a few tips to pass on. #1 After having done a Grand Tour (4 weeks, in 2005) we've found that picking a couple of relatively-centrally-located cities to stay in for a week or more at a time works best for us, rather than having to decamp and move from city to city every two or three days. This has a number of benefits. First, it allows us to live as the natives do shopping for food every day or two, moving with the commuter flow (or not, depending on how early you get started in the morning), and just being less like a tourist. Second, it lets us take advantage (depending on the day we arrive) of week-long public transportation passes. Third, it gives us a base from which to take day trips. #2 Consider renting an apartment in each city you use as a home base. You can usually find apartments with a per-day price that's lower or much lower than a hotel would cost. In addition to having a kitchen (with or without dishwasher, microwave, coffee maker, etc.), you can get them with multiple bathrooms, bedrooms, washer/dryer, etc. In two trips, we've rented three apartments, have found the landlords extremely pleasant and easy to work with, and really liked each of them. There are many apartment rental web sites for each of the main European cities, so spend a good deal of time on your search so that you get exactly what you're looking for. NOTE: The owners of most of those we've rented wouldn't/couldn't take credit cards, so we had to use wire transfers which entail fees. I imagine this will change over time, as even small business owners begin to accept credit card payments via smart phones, PayPal, etc. Things to check for/ask about when researching apartments: How close is it to public transportation? How close is it to the city center?

Be SuperMans luck, Batman has Kryptonyte stashed.
Lol lol lol lol lol lol yes yes yes. Hilarious. Great concept, not to mention the quality of texture. Fantastic. Mae govannen.
It's nice to see batman at the butt of a joke in a superman-batman parody for once.
"Knight Time" is the forty-third episode of Superman: The Animated Series. It depicts the first time Superman visitsGotham. After learning that Batman is missing, Superman goes to Gotham and pretends to be Batman in order to prevent crime from rising. In the end, he discovers that Batman's disappearance has something to do with an old nemesis of Superman's.
...Well Clark it was nice knowing you.
thank you for your efforts to find this picture up here, I really appreciate it ^0^
finally found it, the first time i saw it i laughed so hard and felt inspired. so much character definition in just one picture. thank you. BlackNight-DarkSky said it already but it need to be repeated.
Oh boy! Supes is in trouble. Still so funny
Bruce: GIVE IT BACK OR I'LL SHOVE KRYPTONITE SO FAR UP YOUR ASS YOU'LL BURN FROM INSIDE OUT!!!
Clark: JESUS! Fine, don't get your belt in a bunch...

Best buy charged off 3900, showing as 3900
Sold to llnlv, making pmts, bal 2000
Is this correct reporting?
The OC isn't updating the balance. I'd wait until it's paid to address this. You could dispute, but that would just update it to now, they probably wouldn't keep it up to date and you'd have the same problem when it's paid off.
Just a Question, if best buy charged off the 3900 shouldn't their balance read 0 as the original creditor with a charged off status and the CA should have an accurate original balance of 3900, 2000 after reflecting payments??
As for the OC reporting, it depends upon what they are reporting.
Charge-offs have two separate reporting codes, one for the original amount charged-off, which would not decrease, and the other for the current debt balance.
If the OC has sold the debt, there is no more debt balance to them, so current balance should read $0. However, your credit file still contains the amount originally charged off. How is the amount being reported?
Debt collector reporting reflects the amount the amount of debt they are authorized to attempt to collect. If the debt collector purchases the debt, that amount also becomes the amount of debt owed to them. The debt collector should be decreasing the debt balance as payments are made, but they often dont.
If you wish your CR to accurately reflect the current amount of the debt balance, then you can certainly dispute their failure to comply with FCRA 623(a)(2), which requires a furnisher, once having reported information, to "promptly" update that information so as to maintain its current accuracy.
If the OC charged off the account and assigned it to a CA, they can both show the current balance. They should also both update with new balances as it is paid down.
If the OC charged off and subsequently sold the account, then then OC has to show a 0 balance. The CA would show the current balance.
If the OC did not sell off the debt, does that mean they still own it and that payments can be made directly to the OC?

In case you missed it Sunday, Suarez added yet another absolutely classic goal celebration to his growing collection of hilarious post-netter victory romps. After securing the equalizing header against Chelsea, Suarez gleefully made his way towards the corner flag with all the usual hops, skips and kissing of the wrists we are so accustomed to seeing him deliver… but upon reaching the corner, he quickly turned around to face an eternity of empty green grass where his smiling teammates should be. His reaction is nothing short of priceless… (Gif courtesy of the amusing Twitter stylings of @shy_chupacabra)

I love getting out exploring the city, trying new pubs and restaurants, or checking out a show. I enjoy being active too, and in nicer weather I like to go out hiking or jogging, or just go do something new. I recently tried rock climbing for the first time, and had a great time.
My sense of humour (and, indeed, spelling) is quite British and tends towards the dark, dry, and absurd. I tend to be a little quiet at first, but I open up more once I get to know people, and I'm fiercely loyal to my friends.
I've always been the kind of person to surround myself with a small group of friends and family who I care deeply about, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
I'm a little bit of a geek in some regards. I love science and technology, and I'm a little quiet around people who don't know me. But then, I'm a bit of a hippie in some regards too. The long hair and vegetarianism helps with that, but I'm also pretty philosophical about life, and I am very open about my emotions to those I trust.

…And we're back! Our favorite show, American Horror Story: Asylum went on hiatus over the holidays, leaving us twiddling our thumbs on Wednesday nights without Evan Peters on our screens. We had so many unanswered questions about Briarcliff, Bloodyface and Grace's baby. Rest assured, our beloved horror show returned last night and progressed the plot line in multiple ways. Sister Jude undergoes electroshock therapy after being diagnosed with manic depression, Grace has Kit Walker's baby, the Monsignor Timothy O'Hara kills Sister Mary Eunice and Dr. Arden commits suicide to reunite with Sister Mary. Some critics have referred to Ryan Murphy's AHS as the evil twin of his other show, Glee, and we never felt that way more than after watching last night's episode. From the dance number to the virginity-losing, Briarcliff was less like an asylum and more like the halls of McKinley High. Here are our favorite Glee-like moments from "The Name Game."
1.The Name Game – This comparison is by far the most obvious. In the middle of the episode, Lana Winters asks Sister Jude if she knows her own name after receiving electroshock therapy. Without answering Winters, a delirious Sister Jude trudges to the new jukebox in the asylum and selects Shirley Ellis' classic to play, "The Name Game." When she plays the song, Sister Jude immediately transforms into a glamorous early '60s songstress and the bleak patients of Briarcliff get their groove on. Where is Kurt to bust out a showstopper when we need him? While we know this is a dream state and American Horror Story has its absurd moments, we couldn't help but imagine Ryan Murphy in the writer's room suddenly deciding to insert a dance number into the episode. Even for AHS, this felt out of place.
2. Freak Like Me – Glee partly became popular because we could relate to these social outcast students who let their freak flag fly proudly in the school's glee club. Rachel Berry nurtured her inner theater geek, Kurt took pride in his sexuality, and Amber wasn't afraid to be outspoken. Murphy's same message reverberates throughout this ep. At the beginning of the episode, Dr. Arden inspects Grace's body in order to understand her mysterious pregnancy. As Grace's new guardian, the amazing Pepper emerges from the dark and threatens Arden to leave Grace and her baby alone. Instead of the name game, she plays the blame game with Dr. Arden, citing, "That's how it works with us freaks. We get blamed for everything." But if Dr. Arden lays one hand on Grace, he will be the only one responsible for her death. Just like Glee, the "freaks" seem to be gaining power.
3. Like a Virgin – Remember the Madonna tribute in season one of Glee? Rachel, Jesse, Finn, Santana, Emma, and Mr. Schuester sang the early Madge hit. "The Name Game" had a much more twisted "first time." This time, it's between a priest and the devil, as Sister Mary forces herself onto the Monsignor … not your typical sex scene. As she straddles the priest, she says, "It's okay. We're like Adam and Eve. Two innocent children just learning each other's bodies for the first time." Are we still at Briarcliff? Or are we really witnessing two high schoolers doing the dirty? By the end of the episode, we were waiting for Sue Sylvester to douse Kit with a slushie.

Roads will stay open for Workington's Olympic torch relay
Last updated at 19:41, Thursday, 17 May 2012
Workington's roads will remain open to traffic during the Olympic torch relay next month, when thousands of people will line the route.
The group co-ordinating the Olympic torch event on Thursday, June 21, last night explained why it had decided against road closures.
But one local school has already decided not to organise a whole-school trip to see the relay because of concerns for safety.
Mike Kidd, acting headteacher at Seaton Junior School, said it was too hazardous for the whole school to make the journey together and mingle with crowds.
He said: "Because we have got 220 kids it is too risky to try to marshal.
"If there was a cordoned off area that would be fine, but on an open street it would be too easy to lose a child."
He said, however, that parents were being encouraged to take their children out of school themselves for the relay.
"It's very important that the children get to see it because it is a once in a lifetime event," he added.
The Workington leg of the nationwide relay will start at the roundabout on New Bridge Road at 1pm.
Torch bearers will head through the town centre via Church Street, Falcon Street, Station Road, Oxford Street, Jane Street, Washington Street and Ramsay Brow to Stainburn School.
The torch will then head back to Harrington Road and along Moss Bay Road, finishing at the junction with Poole Road.
A countywide planning group, which includes councils, police and the Highways Agency, has agreed a traffic management plan.
Traffic flow will be managed by police.
A Metropolitan Police Service motorcycle escort will travel with the torch, along with five or six Cumbria police motorcycle outriders.
Parking restrictions will be in place and routine roadworks suspended.
Pedestrian crossings will have their lights switched off while the relay passes through and will be managed by Allerdale council officers, PCSOs or volunteer stewards.
Police will have overall control of the convoy, which will be followed by an ambulance.
At Beckstone Primary School in Harrington, headteacher David Warbrick has invited parents to take their children out of school for the event.
He said the school was not arranging its own trip because of concern over the distance from the school to the relay route, the crowds and issues such as lack of toilets.
Anne Tait, headteacher of St Michael's Infant and Nursery School, said her staff would take children on to Station Road to watch from behind railings which would protect them.
She added: "We wouldn't be taking them out if we didn't feel they'd be safe."

Meeting abstract
A major bottleneck in the manufacture of recombinant therapeutic proteins is the time and effort needed for the generation of stable, high-producing mammalian cell lines. Conventional gene transfer methods for stable cell line generation rely on random transgene integration, resulting in unpredictable and highly variable levels of expression of the transgene in individual clones [1,2]. As a consequence, a large number of stably transfected cells must be analyzed to recover a few high-producing clones. Recently, we described the use of a PiggyBac (PB) transposon for the generation of high-producing mammalian cell lines [3]. The PB dual vector system consists of 1) a donor vector carrying an artificial transposon with a mammalian expression cassette for the recombinant transgene and puromycin selection marker and 2) a helper vector driving transient expression of the PB transposase (PBase). PB transposition mediates stable transgene integration via a "cut and paste" mechanism in which the PBase excises the artificial transposon sequence from the plasmid and catalyzes its insertion into the host cell genome. A main advantages of the PB system over conventional passive integration are an improved efficiency of transgene integration resulting in a more integration events and more stable clones. Furthermore, PB favors transgene integration into actively transcribed regions of the host genome [4]. The PB transposon has a high cargo capacity of up to 14 Kb and transposition results in the stable genomic integration of well-defined sequences, thus reducing the probability of integration of truncated, non-functional transgenes [5]. Finally, recent reports have demonstrated the feasibility of using the PB system to obtain persistent expression of multiple genes carried either on a single or on distinct donor vectors [6].
We initially determined the efficiency of the PB system in the generation of stable lines using suspension adapted mammalian cells. CHO and HEK 293 cells were co-transfected with an eGFP-bearing donor plasmid along with the PB helper plasmid. The cells were then grown in the absence of puromycin, and the percentage of GFP-expressing cells in each culture was determined by flow cytometry on a daily basis. By 21 days post-transfection, the remaining GFP-positive cells were assumed to be recombinant. Compared to conventional transfection of plasmid DNA, PB transposition resulted in an improvement in the efficiency of stable cell line generation up to 20-fold for both CHO and HEK 293 cells (Figure 1A).
Figure 1. A) Enhanced stable integration efficiency in CHO and HEK 293 cells by PB transposition. B) Productivity analysis of CHO clonal cell lines sorted from cell pools generated by PB transposition (PB) or conventional transfection (TX). C) Analysis of the stability of TNFR:Fc expression over time and transgene copy number, for cell pools [PB(50), PB(10), TX(50), and TX(10)] and clonal lines generated by PB transposition (PB50 and PB10) or conventional transfection (TX50 and TX10).
To further evaluate the PB system, CHO cells expressing a tumour necrosis factor receptor:Fc fusion protein (TNFR:Fc) were generated either by PB-transposition or by conventional transfection. Clonal cell lines were recovered following selection in 50 or 10 µg/mL puromycin for two weeks. Recovered lines were grown in suspension culture for 7 days in 24-well plates after which the medium was analyzed by ELISA to determine TNFR:Fc productivity. Transposition increased the frequency of high-producing clones in the transfected population (Figure 1B). To further characterized for the level and stability of transgene expression the original cell pools generated by PB transposition or conventional transfection, as well as the top 4 producers from each transfection were cultivated in the absence of selection in serum-free suspension culture, over a period of 16 or 14 weeks, respectively. When compared to clones and cell pools generated by conventional transfection, PB-derived cell lines and cell pools produced up to 4-fold more recombinant protein and had greater transgene expression stability (Figure 1C)
In conclusion our results demonstrate that stable cell lines derived by PB transposition are efficiently generated and are more productive than cell lines generated by conventional transfection methods. Therefore, the PB system represents a valuable and practical alternative to standard plasmid transfection to efficiently generate cell clones with stable and enhanced transgene expression.

Ryan Newman will bid farewell to Stewart-Haas Racing at the end of 2013. As part of the Kevin Harvick move to SHR, team owner Tony Stewart confirmed Friday that Newman will not be involved with the organization next season. At this time, Stewart doesn't believe it's in the company's best interest to field more than three cars. Along with Stewart, Danica Patrick joined SHR last season. "I truly wish we were able to facilitate four teams at this time," Stewart said. "We're just not able to do that. Down the road, I'm sure if that becomes a possibility, he will definitely be on the list to fill the fourth seat again." Newman, 35, has been part of SHR since the company's inception in 2009 and is 16th in this season's points standings. Newman started his NASCAR career in 2000 with Penske Racing and has 16 career Sprint Cup wins - including three since joining SHR. He ranks third among active drivers for most pole awards with 49. When Newman spoke exclusively with FOX Sports earlier t...

Karen from NYC – Verified Buyer
I purchased this item based on its overall dimensions. I needed drawers to fit within some built-in cabinetry in an 8-yr old boy's room. The unit fits nicely; but the drawers are very shallow. I would have preferred there only be drawers so they'd be a bit deeper. We used it for his socks for a few weeks until we gave up on utilizing that space and bought a larger unit. Now this item is being used for crayons, markers and other similar low-profile items.

I don't want to be the pool cleaner!
If i fail micro, i'm going to sue Moddb :)
Mate, when PC is online and running and if you are a 'bum on the streets', I'll hire you as the 'pool cleaner'...if you know what I mean...
Did it crash when? When the program goes to open it again? cos that's what i guessed...
And don't worry about 'being a bum on street'. That'll never happen to you. Me...probably, cos all i got is my guitar, but you have pc. When you are successful and all, can you give me a job as a cleaner or something?
I'll be expecting my crate of frusion as soon as the results are released. I like the purply flavour.
Oh and you know why you don't have the time to work out why when you don't close a cursor within a cursor loop the program crashes, it's cause you spend way too much time on moddb when you should be knuckling down. Or in economic terms, high opportunity costs!
being a bum is a good idea... this time tomoz i will be packingall my alcohol and clothes for two weeks at the beach!!! yay
yeah i know i cant trust what scotty says... but you can trust what i say.. cos im always right, just ask scotty about that.. :)
Well, ofcourse. I mean what am I even worried about. All that counts is that the profile messages keep coming in thick and fast.
Why should I even bother about my education...which is crucial to my future...which I am spending quite a bit of money on...which will ultimately decide whether I'm a rich prick, a regular Joe, or a bum on the streets.
At the moment, however, not that I'm worrying remember, I'm thinking the 'bum on the streets' is most likely...
Oh...and don't listen to Scotty, you of all people should know he talks crap!! ;)
Liquid even if you did fail (and im sure you didnt, cos scott told me that you would have done well) tis still ok because you have lots of messages on your profile page :)
Mate, don't worry about the s**t creek, cos you ain't in it, I am! And not only do I not have a paddle, I have friggen indians on the side of that creek shooting at me...or something bad...
This DB3 exam was such a biatch, I can't believe you all thought it was easy. I'm almost certain I failed, unless I ripped out some lucky guesses, but from what Sooners told me...my guesses were wrong.
I pray for a miracle!!
Mate, I have not heard a word from you all week! What is going on? You studying your arse off? Better not or i'm up **** creek without a paddle.
Lonely? IT'S NOT LONELY!
...ok...it's very lonely... :(

-- Sound is no longer suffocating and oxygen-deprived
-- Still sounds bad :(
My KOSS Pro/4AAA has had damping modifications. I also cut holes in the earcups to make it open-backed, gave it new pads, completely rewired it and added 3.5mm detachable cables to each side.
--Removed an annoying echo that was interfering with the soundstage
--Evened out the frequency response
--Removed a slight bloom on the low end
--Possibly a slight increase in treble
Mass loaded the baffle of my Pioneer Monitor 10-II:
--Helped quell some frame resonations

Mmmm, brussel sprouts…
Yes, I said Mmmm…!
I love brussel sprouts. In fact, I love them so much that they are my favorite vegetable. I bet most of you guys didn't know that about me
Am I right?
I don't know why this delicious vegetable is hated by so many. Eating roasted brussel sprouts to me is like popping skittles.
In fact, I've actually been know to eat this dish as a snack. Move over skittles, there's a new kid on the block.
They are also incredibly easy to make! All you have to do is toss the little buggers in some olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, salt, and pepper. The oven will do the rest of the work while your prepare the main dish. The thin outer leaves will crisp up and caramelize during the roasting process, but the centers will stay tender and juicy.
Can I say it again?
You know these are good when you can get your vegetable-hating dad to eat them.

Rescheduling from 10/26 It's been awhile since our last meeting, everyone has been incredibly busy over the past couple of months, but we need to get planning our next event. I'd like to get it scheduled for early November; can anyone get together this coming Monday to talk about the next meeting? Anyone interested in taking a leadership role in the group is encouraged to come! This meetup entry is to gauge interest, so please RSVP. If only one or two can make it I will reschedule. Thanks!
I started the group because there wasn't any other type of group like this. I've met some great folks in the group who have become close friends and have also met some amazing business owners.

NCAA Football – Week 5
The early advantage in the Big XII will be handed out on Saturday night at Boone Pickens Stadium, where the college football odds will be contested between the Oklahoma State Cowboys and the Texas Longhorns.
The Horns have been awesome all year long, but this is really going to be their first massive test. Head Coach Mack Brown will be quick to point out the fact that the Ole Miss Rebels team that his squad blew out two weeks ago is a 3-1 team and the Wyoming Cowboys that his team beat to start the year did win eight games in 2011. Still, the offense hasn't had to face anything like this yet, especially knowing that the assault that could be coming from the Cowboys offense when push comes to shove. QB David Ash beat out QB Case McCoy this year for the starting job, but that doesn't mean that it is his once and for all. He has completed 76.4 percent of his passes for 703 yards and seven scores without a pick, but again, the level of competition clearly hasn't been all that great that he has been playing. Do keep an eye on the ground game for UT, as both RB Malcolm Brown and RB Joe Bergeron have the ability to go off for 100+ yard games.
Oklahoma State has the No. 1 offense in the country, and it is the only team that is putting up over 600 yards per game. Of course, we also have to remember that the teams that have appeared on the docket this year aren't exactly offensive juggernauts, and we would be shocked to see the Cowboys put up much more than maybe 400-450 yards against the Longhorns. Matters could be made more complicated if QB Wes Lunt is out of the fold. His ankle injury might keep him out, and if it does, it'll be up to another freshman, QB J.W. Walsh to take over under center. Walsh is a massive dual threat, as he already has 496 passing yards and 102 yards on the ground this year, and he has totaled seven touchdown against just one INT. RB Joseph Randle will get the ball at least 15-20 times in this one, and if he does and keeps up with his 6.7 yards per carry average, he'll get to the century mark once again. Randle is one of the three rushers on this team that has at least four touchdowns this year, though we know that the backup backs won't see nearly as much time as they have recently.
The Pokes have claimed two in a row both SU and ATS in this series, and there is no reason to think that that is going to continue this week. The Cowboys have been tested by no one this year, and the one game that they did play came on the road against the Arizona Wildcats, who beat them senseless. This is a Texas sized beating that is waiting to happen in Stillwater on Saturday night. Oklahoma State 31 – Texas 20

"My father had been a soldier for years and he didn't have anything else, so it was time to move," Lifchitz said. "The United States was closed to anyone coming from Europe so there were really two choices for us, Mexico or Argentina. We ended up settling in Mexico City, and my father lived the rest of his life there.
"He even came up to visit me once in New York " it was in 1980, and I remember he didn't like the snow," said Lifchitz. "Here was a man who had spent much of his life in Russia with the cold winters, but he had been in Mexico so long that he didn't like the cold anymore."
