Fluorescent probes have been used to measure elec-
trogenic proton pumping by the plasma membrane
ATPase of Neurospora. In isolated plasma membrane
vesicles, >85% of which are inverted, ATP hydrolysis
is accompanied by the formation of an inside acid pH
gradient (ApH) which can be detected by acridine or-
ange fluorescence quenching and an inside positive
membrane potential (A*) which can be detected by
oxonol V fluorescence quenching. Maximal values of
ApH were generated in the
anion (SCN-, NO;, or C1-) and maximal A*, in the
absence of such anions. Cation effects were much less
pronounced and can probably be accounted for
specific salt effects on the rate
In addition, a rapid method is described for the re-
constitution of the [H+]-ATPase, starting from isolated
plasma membranes. When the membranes are solubi-
lized with deoxycholate in
and detergent is removed by passage through a Bio-
Gel P-10 column, vesicles are reformed in which the
M, = 104,000 polypeptide of the ATPase constitutes
35% of the protein. Freeze-fracture electron micros-
copy of the vesicles has revealed intramembrane par-
ticles with a diameter of 116 A, equally distributed
between the two fracture faces. Measurements with
acridine orange and oxonol V indicate that the recon-
stituted ATPase retains its transport activity, gener-

It is now well established that the fungal plasma membrane
contains a primary proton-translocating ATPase,
iological function is to generate an
gradient and thereby to supply energy to a variety of [H'I-
dependent cotransport systems (1). Biochemically, the fun-
gal [H+]-ATPase belongs to the class
ATPases that also includes the [Na+,K']-, [Ca2+]-, and
[H+,K']-ATPases of animal cells. It has a polypeptide subunit
of M, = 100,000 which is deeply embedded within the lipid
bilayer of the membrane and requires detergents for solubili-
zation and purification (2, 3). During the reaction cycle, the

M, = 100,000 polypeptide forms an acylphosphate interme-
diate (4, 5); probably for this reason, ATPase activity is
extremely sensitive to inhibition by vanadate (6).
Much of our knowledge about the transport function
[H'I-ATPase has come from electrophysiological experiments
on whole cells (hyphae) of Neurospora. Because of their
relatively large diameter, the cells can be penetrated by mi-
cropipette electrodes; and it was this kind of direct measure-
ment that first demonstrated the ATP-dependent generation
of membrane potentials as high as -250 mV, inside negative
(7). Later experiments equated the electrogenic pump with
the [H+]-translocating ATPase (l), and computer techniques
have now been developed which allow the pump current (H'
efflux) to be extracted from the total membrane current (8,
9). By means of such experiments, it is possible to explore the
behavior of the ATPase in situ as the two components of the
electrochemical H+ gradient are varied separately: the mem-
brane potential, by passing current through a separate elec-
trode (8,9), and the pH gradient,
extracellular pH (10, 11).
Complementary information about the Neurospora [H+] -
ATPase has come from the study of isolated plasma mem-
brane vesicles, an approach pioneered by Scarborough and
his colleagues (12-14). Using vesicles prepared from the slime
mutant (12), which are assumed to be partially or completely
inverted (13, 14), these workers have shown that ATP hy-
drolysis leads to the formation of an inside acid pH gradient
(measured by the distribution of ['4C]imidazole (14)) and an
inside postiive membrane potential (measured by the distri-
bution of [14C]SCN (13)). Their results provide strong support
for the notion of electrogenic proton translocation.
Nevertheless, a number of important questions remain con-
cerning the transport function of the fungal plasma membrane
ATPase. In studies on ATPases prepared
related yeast species, Saccharomyces cereuisiae and Schizosuc-
charomycespombe, Malpartida and Serrano (15) and Villalobo
(16) have raised the possibility that the fungal enzyme may
mediate an exchange of H' for K' rather than a purely
electrogenic movement of H+. A similar idea has long been
prevalent in the literature on the plasma membrane ATPase
of higher plants (17), while the plant tonoplast ATPase has
been postulated to couple anions to the translocation
protons (18).
In order to address these questions, we have examined the
effects of a variety of cations and anions on the ATP-depend-
ent formation of ApH and A* by the Neurospora plasma
membrane ATPase. To permit a ready comparison with elec-
trophysiological results obtained in uiuo, our experiments have
been carried out with vesicles isolated from the wild type
strain of Neurospora (19), and we have used the optical probes
acridine orange and oxonol V to provide a continuous record

plasma membrane vesicles, we have developed

the ATPase and capable of rapid rates of ATP-dependent
proton translocation.

Isolation of Plasma Membranes-Wild type strain RL2la of Neu-
rospora crassa was grown for 12 to 14 h at 25 "C in Vogel's minimal
medium with 2% sucrose (20). Plasma membranes were prepared
according to the method of Bowman et al. (19) in which cells are
treated with snail-gut enzyme to weaken their cell walls, disrupted by
sequential homogenization and sonication, and fractionated by dif-
ferential centrifugation. The resulting plasma membranes were sus-
pended in 1 m M EGTAl-Tris, pH 7.2, and stored at -70 "C. When
assayed for ATPase activity under optimal conditions (pH 6.7 (21))
they had specific activities of 4 to 6 pmol/min/mg of protein. Freeze-
fracture electron microscopy revealed the presence of closed mem-
brane vesicles, as will be described in a later section.
Fluorescence Quenching-ApH and A* were assayed by fluores-
cence quenching of acridine orange (22) and oxonol V (23), respec-
tively. In experiments designed to establish optimal conditions, the
pH dependence of ATP-induced oxonol quenching was similar to the
pH dependence of ATP hydrolysis with a broad optimum between
pH 6 and 7. For acridine orange, however, the optimum for both the
initial rate and the extent of ATP-induced quenching was at pH 7.5.
Two factors probably contribute to this discrepancy: the fact that the
buffer capacity of isolated plasma membranes, like that of intact cells
of Neurospora (11), drops sharply as the pH is increased from 5.5 to
7.5'; and the fact that, at higher external pH, fewer protons need to
be transported to generate a given pH gradient. The best compromise
between the optimal conditions for the two probes was found empir-
ically to be pH 7.2, which was adopted for all further measurements.
Thus, for the assay of ApH under standard conditions, vesicles
(50-100 yg of protein) were incubated in a stirred fluorescence cuvette
containing 2.0 ml of reaction medium (100 m M KCl, 20 m M HEPES-
KOH buffer, pH 7.2, and 2 PM acridine orange) at 22 "C. The reaction
was initiated by the injection of 1.5 to 5.0 m M MgS04 and Na2ATP
through a light-tight delivery port in the top of the cuvette. Relative
fluorescence was monitored with an Aminco-Bowman spectrofluoro-
meter, using excitation and emission wavelengths of 429 and 600 nm,
respectively. The assay of membrane potential was carried out in the
same way, except that the standard reaction medium lacked KC1 and
contained 1 to 3 p~ oxonol V and 100-200 yg of membrane protein.
Excitation and emission wavelengths were 580 and 640 nm, respec-
Control experiments showed that, as expected from the known
substrate requirements of the plasma membrane ATPase, the fluo-
rescence quenching of acridine orange and oxonol V was specific for
ATP; no quenching was obtained with other nucleoside triphosphates
(GTP, ITP, CTP, UTP) added at 5 m M in the presence of 5 m M

ished by FCCP (2 yg/ml), which would be expected to collapse ApH

flow rate of 1.0 ml/min. The cloudy void volume fractions were pooled,
diluted 40-fold with HEPES/KCl/EDTA buffer, and centrifuged at
100,000 x g for 1 h. The pellet was suspended in 10 m M MES-Tris,
pH 7.2, 100 m M KC1 for assays of ApH and in 50 m M MES-KOH,
pH 7.2, for assays of A*.
Electron Microscopy-Electron microscopy of whole cells, plasma
membrane vesicles, and reconstituted ATPase was carried out follow-
ing freeze-fracture in order to visualize intramembranous particles.
Cells were fixed in 2.5% glutaraldehyde buffered with 0.1 M cacodyl-
ate, pH 5.8. Plasma membrane vesicles and reconstituted enzyme
were suspended in 1.0 m M EGTA (adjusted to pH 7.5 with Tris), 20%
glycerol, and centrifuged at 100,000 x g for 1 h. Specimens were
quickly frozen in Freon 22, cooled with liquid nitrogen, and fractured
at -130 "C using a Balzers BAF freeze-fracture apparatus. The spec-
imens were then shadowed with platinum and replicated with carbon,
the thickness of the films being controlled by a Balzers QSG 201
quartz crystal thin film monitor. Replicas were washed overnight in
sodium hypochlorite, picked up on 100-mesh Formvar-coated grids,
and examined in a Zeiss EM 10B microscope.
Other Methods-ATPase activity was assayed at 22 "C as described
by Bowman and Slayman (21). Protein was determined by the method
of Lowry et al. (28) with bovine serum albumin as standard. Sodium
dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis was performed on
8-16s gradient gels (3); after staining with Coomassie blue, the gels
were scanned with a Beckman model DU-8 densitometer.
Reagents-Acridine orange, HEPES, MES, orthovanadate, FCCP,
L-a-phosphatidylcholine, L-a-phosphatidylethanolamine, L-a-phos-
phatidylinositol, L-a-phosphatidylserine, and L-a-phosphatidic acid
were purchased from Sigma; oxonol V from Molecular Probes, Inc.;
asolectin from Avanti Polar Lipids; SITS from Pierce Chemical Co.;
and [3H]deoxycholate from New England Nuclear.
Sidedness of P h m a Membrane Vesicles-In order to ex-
amine the ultrastructure of the material to be used for trans-
port studies, freeze-fracture electron microscopy was carried
out on whole cells of wild type Neurospora and on plasma
membranes isolated by the method of Bowman et al. (19). In
the whole cells, the plasma membrane appeared highly asym-
metric, as has been observed for many types of biological
membranes (29). Tangential fracturing revealed a concave P
face, studded with intramembrane particles, and a convex E
face, relatively free of particles (Fig. 1, A-C). The average
particle frequency was 2672 f 74/pm2 on the P face and 348
f 29 per pm2 on the E face (Table I).
Isolated plasma membranes appeared
mostly empty but in a few cases contained smaller vesicles or
other membranous inclusions (Fig. 1D).
ameters ranged from 0.05 to 0.53 pm, with 90% of the values
falling between 0.08 and 0.30 pm; the spread of values presum-
ably reflects the fact that the vesicles were fractured at various
levels relative to their equatorial plane. Once again, the mem-
branes appeared highly asymmetric, with
cies of the P face and E face not significantly different from
those of the intact plasma membrane (Table I). This asym-
metry provided a means to determine the sidedness of the
vesicles: 1257 of 1450 vesicles, or 87%, were inverted relative
to the intact cell.
Measurement of ApH with Acridine Orange and A* with
Oxonol V-On
the basis of previous studies (13, 14), it is to
be expected that inverted plasma membrane vesicles should
hydrolyze ATP at the outer surface, pumping H' inward and
generating a pH gradient (inside acid) and a membrane po-
tential (inside positive). Control experiments, summarized
under "Materials and Methods," showed that ApH can be
followed by fluorescence quenching of the weak base acridine
orange (22, 30) and A+ by fluorescence quenching of oxonol
V (23, 31). With the two probes in

the absence of vesicles and represents an interaction of ATP with the

s to approach a steady state value. Quantitative measurements
on three separate preparations of membrane vesicles gave an
average tIl2 of 1.9 f 0.1 s for the oxonol response (probably
limited by the mixing time in the cuvette) and 13.3 * 3.3 s
for the acridine orange response. Control experiments showed
that acridine orange could redistribute across the
membrane quite rapidly (55 s) in response to an artificial pH
jump, so the time course illustrated in Fig. 2 presumably
reflected the rate of ApH generation under the conditions of
that experiment.
It seemed reasonable to believe that, for vesicles suspended
in HEPES buffer electrogenic proton pumping might be lim-
ited by the relative impermeability of the buffer anion. Indeed,
when 25 mM KN03 was added (at the second arrow), there
was an immediate collapse of A*, accompanied by an increase
in ApH to a new steady state value (Fig. 2). Similar results
were obtained with 25 mM NaN03, KSCN, or KCl.
Effects of Anions on ApH, A*, and ATP Hydrolysis-The
experiment of Fig. 2 drew attention to the role of anions in
determining the relative magnitudes of ApH and A* and
made it of interest to survey a variety of anions over a wider
range of concentrations. Fig. 3 illustrates the results of such
a study. In general, there was direct correlation between the
ability of a given anion to diminish the membrane potential
(oxonol V fluorescence quenching, middle) and its ability to
enhance pH gradient formation (acridine orange
quenching, top). Thus, as the concentration
was increased from 1 to 100 mM, the steady state level of A s
decreased dramatically, while over the same range of concen-
trations the steady state ApH increased. C1- followed the
same pattern but required higher concentrations. These re-
sults are consistent with the notion that
a lesser extent) C1- serve as permeant anions; when present
at a sufficiently high concentration in the external medium,
they can enter the vesicles to balance the

SO$- and MES- were much less effective. Rather, as the
concentration of these two salts was raised, both A s and ApH

above 50 mM, where AJI fell abruptly). The most plausible
interpretation of these results is that SO:- and MES- are
relatively impermeant anions and that the
in AJI and ApH reflected a moderate stimulation of the
ATPase as the K' concentration or ionic strength of the
medium was increased.
This interpretation was supported by direct measurements
of ATPase activity under the same ionic conditions (Fig. 3,
bottom). As expected for an electrogenic ATPase, the per-
meant anions SCN-, N0.5, and C1- were most effective in
stimulating enzyme activity, and they did so over the same
range of concentrations (1 to 50 mM) that were effective in
collapsing A s and stimulating ApH. (Above 50 m M there was
a slight inhibition of ATPase activity by NO; and C1- and a
strong inhibition by SCN-.) However, even the two relatively
impermeant anions produced some stimulation of ATP hy-
drolysis: SO:-, in the range from 5 to 50 mM, and MES-, in
the range from 10 to 80 mM. This stimulation, presumably a
result of increasing K+ concentration or ionic strength (6, 21),
can account at least qualitatively for the effects of SO:- and
MES- on AJI and ApH.
The experiment of Fig. 3 documented the relative permea-
bility of the Neurospora plasma membrane to the anions
tested but did not provide any direct information about the
mechanism of anion permeability. To ask whether a specific
SITS-sensitive anion exchange system might be involved, of
the kind that has been well described for animal cells, plasma
membrane vesicles were preincubated for 2 min with SITS (0
to 500 pM) in the presence of 100 m M el-, NO:, or SCN-,
and acridine orange fluorescence quenching was used to follow
ATP-dependent ApH. Below 40 p ~ ,
the rate of formation on the magnitude of ApH. At higher
concentrations, SITS progressivley inhibited ApH formation,
but it did so equally in the presence of all three anions (el-,
NO;, SCN-). This result suggested that SITS might be inhib-
iting the ATPase itself, rather than altering the anion perme-
ability of the membrane. Indeed, a direct assay of ATP
hydrolysis revealed 73-80% inhibition by 500 p~ SITS, re-
gardless of the anion that was present. Thus, there is no
evidence for a specific SITS-sensitive anion exchange system
in the Neurospora plasma membrane.
Effects of Cations on ApH, A*, and ATP Hydrolysis-The
experiments of Fig. 3 in which anion effects were analyzed
were all performed with K+ salts. In order to look for possible
cation effects on ApH, A*, and ATPase activity, an analogous
study was performed with six different chloride salts: K+, Rb',
Na+, TMA+, choline+, and Tris + (Fig. 4). All six salts gave
qualitatively similar patterns, involving a decrease in AJI
( ~ ~ d d ~ ) , increase in ApH (top), and a stimulation of ATPase
activity (bottom) as the salt concentration was raised from 1
to 100 mM. Thus, the dominant factor was the behavior of
C1- as a permeant anion. Nevertheless, there were consistent
quantitative differences among the various cations, with the
order of effectiveness being Rb',K+ > choline+ > TMA" >
Tris',Na+. These are related to differences that have been
reported previously (24) and will be treated further under
Reconstitution of the [I€+]-ATPase-Once

into liposomes so that its transport properties could be studied
in a better defined environment. Recently, the purified [H+]-
ATPase of S. pombe has been reconstituted by two procedures,
cholate dialysis (32) and freeze-thawing (33). Both methods
yielded proteoliposomes capable of ATP-dependent proton

cedures described; in particular, the maximally stimulated
ATPase activity of the reconstituted vesicles was quite low
(3.7 to 6.6 pmol/min/mg of protein (16, 32, 33)), suggesting
that there might have been significant inactivation during
enzyme purification and/or reconstitution.
After attempts to reconstitute the purified ~eurospora
ATPase, in which similar problems were encountered, we
devised an alternative procedure that uses plasma membrane
vesicles as starting material and yields vesicles with high
ATPase activity and high rates of proton transport. The
starting point for this work was the discovery by Bowman et

Immokalee won't appeal sanctions
Superintendent says under new district policy, students will not be allowed to take the field until their ages are confirmed
With emotion rising in his voice, Manny Touron asked the Immokalee community Friday to support his decision not to appeal the Florida High School Athletic Association's punishment against Immokalee High School.
"You have supported me in the past and I hope you can find it within your souls to continue to support Manny and this decision," the Immokalee High principal said in his first statement to the press since the rulings came down.
"I will abide by the statement they made and move on from here."
The FHSAA imposed sanctions Wednesday on the school for three over-age students who played sports at Immokalee High school since 2003. The school's 2004 state football title isn't affected.
The sanctions include paying a $3,000 fine — $1,000 for each of the original students discovered — and the cost of the FHSAA's investigation. The Immokalee soccer team received a two-year probationary term and cannot participate in the postseason. The soccer team also has to forfeit its two district championships from the past two seasons.
The football team received a year of probation and must relinquish its 2005 District Championship.
Blandel Jean, 30, Josh Jean-Mary, 23, and Senil Ulysse, 20, were the original three athletes uncovered. On Thursday, documents obtained by the Daily News indicated two more athletes, 21-year-old Clotaire Joseph and 20-year-old Fredo Selbonne, were over-age, which could lead to more sanctions against the school.
While Touron and Immokalee High try to move forward, the district will make some changes to the way it examines student records.
Collier County schools Superintendent Ray Baker said the district will work on a policy that will not allow students to participate in athletics until the district is able to verify that they are eligible under FHSAA rules.
"This is not an isolated problem at Immokalee High School or in Collier County. This is a statewide issue," he said. "But students will not step onto the field until we have verified they are younger than 19 years, 9 months."
FHSAA policy states no student can play athletics after reaching 19 years and 9 months.
Baker said the district's schools are required to admit students when they provide proof of age, including a birth certificate, baptismal certificate or even a physician's note of "approximate age."
Baker said student athletes will have to provide more proof from an "official source" such as school records or a driver's license. District officials have said they will use driver's license checks to ensure that students are the proper age to attend Collier County schools.
"Ninety-nine percent of the time, we have independent verification through school records," he said. "The task force (that will look at district registration policies) will scope the whole thing out."
Baker said the problem usually arises with students who have documents that are difficult to track.
School Board attorney Richard Withers said driver's license checks could be used because the criteria to obtain a driver's license in Florida are more strict than the criteria to enroll a student in school.
Baker said the new policy could keep individuals off the field until records are verified, but he doubted that entire teams would be in danger of not playing while waiting for records verification.
He added that the district would not only consider this policy for student athletes, but for all students in Collier County.
"We want to check not only in sports but all students, because we have that responsibility with all students," he said. "This is not just a sports issue, but a registration issue."
Assistant Superintendent Eric Williams said the board's policy on the age of students also would be looked at. He said state law doesn't set a maximum age of students, but the board's policy is that students are eligible to attend school until they are 21. Exceptional education students are allowed to attend school until the semester they turn 22, according to board policy.
"Immokalee High School will get independent verification of each student, as will the other schools in Collier County," he said.
Williams and Baker said any consequences Touron would face at the district level will be handed out next week, but both indicated Touron would still be head of Immokalee High.
"Manny Touron is an excellent principal. That community needs Manny Touron," Baker said. "Fortunately, it appears there was no harm done (to students at Immokalee High), but clearly that possibility exists. When you fail to follow board policy, that's serious. There will be a reprimand, written, and other things beyond that. I have not discussed those things with Mr. Touron yet. Cheating is wrong. What happened is wrong."
Touron had received a report in October that Jean-Mary was 23, but said a check of school records indicated Jean-Mary was younger.
"At the time the report was given to me, I checked and our records did not indicate the student was over-age. I accept responsibility for that," he said. "What I received from that deputy was verbal to me. No other documentation was presented to me. It was my mistake."
Touron wrote in an e-mail to Williams, dated May 5, that he had been given the information from the school resource officer in October and was told to do whatever he thought was right.
"This was Jean-Mary's senior year and he worked hard to get where he was. I have known Jean-Mary as he was a former soccer player of mine and couldn't play this year due to age ineligibility according to his records on terms. I decided to keep him until the end of the year so he could graduate and become a productive citizen. Maybe this was a poor choice on my part," he wrote.
Jean-Mary and Jean were removed from school in May for being too old.
Touron said he is "100 percent committed" to both Immokalee and the high school.
"My work at Immokalee High School speaks for itself. Whatever comes down the pike, I can stand here and stay tall," he said.
Williams said everyone's role will be looked at, including secretaries and Immokalee High School Athletic Director Linda Ayer. Williams said Touron would do the review, but did not say what, if any, punishments could come of it.
School Board Chairwoman Kathleen Curatolo, who attended Friday's press conference, said the district will launch a comprehensive review of the district's policies regarding enrollment.
"We want to do what's best and most appropriate for the students," she said. "It needs to be a comprehensive and thorough review of the policies at the schools and the board policy to ensure we are doing what's best."

Scroll to bottom of story to see Layton Christian Felt's Facts
Note: Layton Christian Academy finished with a 6-6 overall record and was third in 1A during the regular season with a 4-2 record in 2011. It lost to Duchesne in the 1A championship game.
LAYTON — In 2011, the Layton Christian Academy football team wrote a fascinating two-part essay (with apologies to a certain Dickens classic with a similar name) titled "The Tale of Two Seasons."
In Part I, the Eagles struggled through an 0-4 start and, six weeks into the 2011 season, were 1-5 and seemingly headed nowhere fast.
Then came Part II, when they went on a stirring five-game winning streak that took them all the way to the 1A state finals, where their Cinderella season ended with a defeat at the hands of powerful Duchesne.
Still, they nearly wrote a great storybook ending to a season that started with much disappointment and frustration.
And now, with energetic first-year head coach Kitt Rawlings taking over the reins, the key this year seems to be to try and pick up where the Eagles left off during the second half of last season.
Rawlings, a former Woods Cross High School star in the late 1980s who went on to be a four-year starter at Kansas State, takes over a program that may be somewhat short on numbers, but is long on talent featuring several outstanding athletes.
"They're a tremendous group of kids, and we're pretty solid athletically," Rawlings said. "I'm excited about the flexibility we have with the boys to play several different positions if needed.
"That's the nice thing when you get a group like this. Even if you don't have the numbers, if you've got a group of athletes that can play in multiple spots for you, it sure makes things easy when you need to plug people in and fill holes where they need to be — because we do have several gifted kids."
Rawlings notes that some of his players — senior running back Nick Edwards, senior offensive/defensive lineman Jake Warden and senior fullback/linebacker/defensive end Colin Greenhill — have received interest from college scouts.
And the Eagles' new coach says that senior quarterback/place kicker Kyle Yockey has a strong enough leg that college coaches might consider him as a kicker at the next level — if he doesn't go play college baseball someplace instead.
"He's a tremendous athlete," Rawlings said of Yockey. "He has a D-I leg as a field-goal kicker. He hit a 57-yarder here this summer. He hit a 52-yarder the other day under pressure. And he's hitting them with ease. He gets good lift on the ball, and his execution time is really good with our snap and hold.
"He's got a chance to get a look there. Athletic-wise, he's getting looks for baseball. He's a special kid; he runs our offense, and he's got a lot of great leadership qualities. Kyle's going to be a tremendous asset for us running this program, running our offense. Kids like that make things easy for you."
Yockey will be backed up at QB by another outstanding, quick athlete, senior Rome Aguilar, with freshman Alex Whitby providing depth.
At running back, great things are expected of Edwards, the defending state champion in the 100-meter dash.
"He's a tremendous athlete; he's phenomenal," Rawlings said. "He has great speed. He can flat-out run. He has great hips, moves real well and is agile. He's going to be a special ballplayer for us."
Greenhill, a 6-foot-2, 245-pound performer, shows a lot of potential at several positions.
"Greenhill's going to be hard to stop," Rawlings said. "He's a fullback/linebacker/defensive end, and he can run pretty good for a big kid like he is. He moves pretty dang well."

Thanks for helping!
food is good but I believe over priced. I have been there 5 times so far. Service was good once, rest of the time not so much. The owners have changed and so has the name.
Sold and now called Cavello's. Don't bother. Staff are totally disorganized. Maybe it will improve but have a very long way to go. I would never go back. Did have dinner but all the problems took away any enjoyment. Food was very average. Could not wait to leave.
Luigi's was sold. The new owners named this restaurant CAVALLO'S. Pizza, pasta and steak house. We ordered Pizza. I was OK. A bit on the greasy side and the mushrooms and green peppers got a bit too much heat. Price was $22,00 for a 12" pizza. Staff was friendly. The coffee was very good, Strong and flavorful.
We were advised to eat here. The place was quiet.The service was slow. My pizza was acceptable. My husband usually eats anything - he decided he was served the worst meal he had ever had. The fish was frozen with crumbly batter, the lemon was old and the lettuce limp. It was left uneaten.
Ok pizza but ask how much extra before ordering half and half. Our half veggie, half Italian ended up costing $22 for a 12"
They have a lengthy menu...even given this our meal was awesome. Our waitress was warm and friendly and shared with us great place to visit on our way home. She went the extra mile by digging our some books to make our travel easier. When dinner was over shooed us off to the park behind the restaurant. thanks
Earlier experience was very negative and eye raising, but decided to give it another chance or two.
The last experience. It was a good atmosphere, and Good people working, and the food was delicious.
Also have to say that yes there are few choices but for taste and quality would say Luigi has become my new favorite.
On our way back to MB, wanted pizza big time! Looked over and seen Luigi's while passing thru Ft.McLeod.....BEST PIZZA EVER!! BEST SERVICE!! FELT AT HOME FROM AS SOON AS WE SAT DOWN!! NOW planning our next summer holiday towards Ft.McLeod.
I've eaten at this place several times. I like pizza and my wife likes pasta. The pizza is good, the pasta is bad! It has been that way each time. My wife says she's not going back so I guess that's that.
We used Trip Advisor to select a restaurant to entertain our family who live in Fort MacLeod. We arrived to a well organized restaurant and friendly staff. It was early, but the restaurant soon had additional guests.
We had Chicken Neptune and Steak Neptune, as well as Chicken and Veal Parmigiana, which was accompanied by some very good dry red...

Marques de Riscal Reserva Rioja
Wine Details
Winemaker's Notes
(From 2008 Vintage) Cherry-red colour with good robe. Spicy, balsamic aromas of great complexity, with notes of ripe dark berries and light toasted nuances. On the palate it is full and tasty, with good structure and rounded, elegant tannins. The finish is long and fresh, with a slight reminder of the fine oak.
Хорошая Риоха, но нет характерного аромата

What causes burping and general weakness? 4 possible conditions
See a list of possible causes in order from the most common to the least.
H. pylori are a type of bacteria that may not cause problems. However, sometimes it can cause pain, bloating, and burping, and may lead to ulcers or stomach cancer.
Peptic ulcers are sores that develop in the lining of the stomach, esophagus, or rarely in small intestine. They are usually caused by H. pylori, excessive NSAID or alcohol usage, smoking, or stomach cancer.
Hyperventilation happens when you suddenly start breathing very quickly. Exhaling more than you inhale causes low carbon dioxide levels, which leads to lightheadedness and tingling in the fingers.
Celiac disease is a digestive disorder caused by an immune reaction to gluten. Symptoms vary but can include arthritis, fatigue, and abdominal symptoms.

Exercise Fitness Ball
Many people tend to overlook the great benefits of using an exercise ball in doing exercises to strengthen the abs. Often underrated, a fitness ball is in reality one of the most effective ab workout equipment pieces to use. With a fitness ball, one can strengthen the core muscles as most ab exercises with ball require a person to improve there body's balance. Another benefit of using an exercise ball in doing ab workout is that it can be very versatile. People can use an exercise ball anywhere- in the comfort of their home, or in the gym. Also, an exercise ball can be used by just about anyone regardless of age.
There are numerous ab exercises that can be performed using a fitness ball. One of them is the reverse leg and hand extensions. Like most ab exercises with ball¸ this exercise begins with the person having his midsection facing the ball, stabilising his balance with the help of his hands and toes. He then faces the floor, extending the right arm and the opposite leg together. This position should be held for a couple of seconds before he returns to the original position. The routine is repeated with the other combination of arm and leg. This routine should be done 8 times. This is a very good exercise for the lower back, glutes, hamstrings, and upper back.
Hip lifts using a stability ball also ranks as one of the ab exercises with ball. In this exercise, a person is flat on his back, with the knees bent and the heels placed on top of the ball. He then supports his frame by stretching the arms on both sides. He then squeezes his back, lifting it off the ground and pushing the hips upward. This position should be maintained for a couple of seconds before returning to the original position. This stance must be repeated for 8 times with 3 sets. This is an excellent exercise for the glutes and the hamstrings.
Doing elevated push ups is also considered as ab exercises with ball. In this workout, a person places his hands on the ground and the knees are put on top of the ball. The body must be facing down the floor and parallel to it. The person then lowers the upper torso until the face is about several inches from the floor, before he pushes his frame back. This must be repeated at least 8 times for 3 sets. This is an excellent exercise for working out the biceps, shoulder muscles, triceps and pectorals.
The last of the recommended ab exercises with ball is the core crunches using an exercise ball. In this exercise the person goes down on his knees, bends the torso at the waist. He then rests both his elbows on the ball. After that he squeezes the ab muscles while rolling the ball in front until the body is straightened out. He then rolls back to the original position. This exercise should be done for at least 8 times with 3 sets.

There's a reason very few studios make stop-motion feature films – like trying to out-talk Lena Dunham, it's unbelievably difficult. Credit LAIKA - ParaNorman is exquisitely animated, with a depth of visuals and fluidity of motion that is truly fantastic. You've never seen stop-motion like this. The acting, the range of motion, the sets, the props, the costumes, and the attention to detail is apparent in every scene.
LAIKA's top gun discusses their latest stop-motion gem and the ground-breaking effort behind its production.
Growing up, I was a latch key kid, often coming home to an empty house after school. My babysitters' names were Popeye, Tom, Jerry, Bugs and Daffy. I was literally raised on those old school cartoons with their over the top slapstick violence and impeccable timing.They would leave an indelible mark on me.

Aardman Animations has boosted its grass-roots animation brand with a fantastic new "Animate It!" app which launches in the iTunes App Store for just $2.99.
In the case of Celebrity Deathmatch, I knew I had a solid concept – two celebrities with a score to settle face off in a clay animated wrestling ring…and fight to the death! The pitch could not have been any simpler and yet it had all of the components of great entertainment – pop culture, biting satire, cartoony violence and an animation style that was beloved but seldom seen. And yet it would take MTV over a year to greenlight a pilot!
Disney has brought online the new "Homage" trailer, first seen at Comic-Con 2012, for Tim Burton's stop-motion animated film, "Frankenweenie."

The art of war, as generally considered, consists of five purely military branches,--viz.: Strategy, Grand Tactics, Logistics, Engineering, and Tactics. A sixth and essential branch, hitherto unrecognized, might be termed Diplomacy in its relation to War. Although this branch is more naturally and intimately connected with the profession of a statesman than with that of a soldier, it cannot be denied that, if it be useless to a subordinate general, it is indispensable to every general commanding an army: it enters into all the combinations which may lead to a war, and has a connection with the various operations to be undertaken in this war; and, in this view, it should have a place in a work like this. [Translated from the French by Capt. G.H. Mendell]
lessen the power of a dangerous rival or to prevent his aggrandizement. These last are wars of intervention; for a state will rarely singly attack a dangerous rival: it will endeavor to form a coalition for that purpose.
These views belong rather to statesmanship or diplomacy than to war.
Of Wars with or without Allies.
Of course, in a war an ally is to be desired, all other things being equal. Although a great state will more probably succeed than two weaker states in alliance against it, still the alliance is stronger than either separately. The ally not only furnishes a contingent of troops, but, in addition, annoys the enemy to a great degree by threatening portions of his frontier which otherwise would have been secure. All history teaches that no enemy is so insignificant as to be despised and neglected by any power, however formidable.
