The vaccine market is experiencing a period of renewed interest driven by novel opportunities in areas of unmet need. In the coming years, the pharmaceutical industry is expecting significant growth in the vaccine market segment. But many of the new complex biologic-based vaccines are challenging to produce. Therefore, new solutions are needed to take advantage of this rapidly evolving market. Drug manufacturers can actually benefit from the established know-how and capacities of leading contract development and manufacturing organizations (CMDO) to deliver secure supply for public health.
For some time, it seemed as if the vaccine market of the typical pediatric and flu vaccines had matured. Recently, however, the segment has been revived due largely to advances in research into the human immune system and pathogenicity. Also, the successful introduction of several new and highly effective vaccines has boosted confidence. Industry analysts like RNCOS expect continuous growth in the coming years. In fact, the RNCOS 2011 Global Vaccine Market Forecast predicts sales growth of almost 20% to about $33 billion by 2013. The best opportunities for drug manufacturers will be in areas such as nosocomial infections, therapeutic vaccines and pandemics.
But while the outlook is positive, there continue to be a number of challenges ahead. Modern substances that stem from biotechnological processes have more challenging requirements when it comes to production, manufacturing, and administration. Until recently, the main players had made only limited investment in future technologies in these particular areas. Therefore, to help bridge the technology gap, many pharma firms in the vaccine space are looking into contract manufacturing to take full advantage of the comprehensive know-how and high capacities of leading CDMOs. With their innovative manufacturing facilities, such service providers can realize potential solutions for this emerging growth segment.
Setting Up a New Premise
While the established markets for pediatric vaccines and influenza have become increasingly saturated, new biotechnological methods for producing vaccines for complex pathogens like meningitis, hepatitis C, cancer, and HIV are providing new sales growth. The specifications for these substances and their areas of application are giving rise to entirely new packaging and manufacturing processes. Sensitive substances, for example, require extremely high quality and safety standards in production. However, because of the high value of the substances, the trend is to shift away from vials and move towards prefilled syringes. In today's global world, the risk of pandemics is omnipresent and thus, public vaccination programs are increasingly demanding prefilled syringe use.
The outbreak of H1N1 in 2009 demonstrated quite well how the lack of speed in vaccine filling could be a potential weak point in effective combat against dangers. In the case of a pandemic, as many as 300 million people in the U.S. alone would need a jab. For the health authorities and emergency management organizations, such numbers represent an enormous challenge. Multi-dose vials need more time and trained personnel for administering the vaccine if accidental "stick" injuries are to be avoided. As such, many emergency agencies prefer prefilled syringes as an option for vaccinating large numbers of people in a short period of time.
Looking to the immediate future, vaccine manufacturing plants must be able to produce large quantities within a few weeks while maintaining high quality and safety standards. And because the "blockbuster model" of drug manufacturing is largely in the past, the old monoplant model is no longer relevant or economically feasible. Therefore, today's CDMOs must be flexible, allowing for a simple product changeover.
For the pharma company, avoiding loss of expensive antigen is another important issue. Because they are already meeting stringent requirements to work safely and efficiently for their customers in other areas, CDMOs are in an excellent position to provide answers to this challenge. By collaborating with a top engineering firm, a CDMO can develop a high-speed filling line conceived specifically to meet the complex demands of vaccines.
A Special Approach for Vaccines
As the prefilled syringe market becomes more established, pre-sterilized injection systems have now become an accepted alternative to bulk systems. However, the entire process has to be maintained at a high aseptic level — never a simple task. The decisive question is how to introduce the tubs and the syringes into the critical area for filling. For an illustration of what a solution for vaccine filling should look like, let's look at our newly built high-speed filling line.
To meet quality and safety demands, the line has been equipped with a comprehensive tub-handling concept involving such technical innovations as an automatic disinfection tunnel. To respond to the economic needs, the plant can also perform a number of different filling processes that allow for rapid product changeover. High efficiency is provided thanks to automated processes, optimized paths and a lean operating concept.
Safe Tub Processing
The handling of the tubs is the decisive factor in maintaining a high level of quality and safety. That is why tub-maneuvering steps such as unpacking and transportation are performed mechanically and is program-controlled and reproducible. The tubs begin
their journey in a hygienic and logistics area still wrapped in their protective foil. They are then placed on a conveyor belt that transports them to a class C cleanroom. If the tubs are wrapped in two films, the outer wrapping is removed as the tub passes from the logistics zone to the classified area. While a cutter performs this task automatically, a special tool keeps the film shut until the transfer is completed. Before entering class A, the protective bag is automatically removed and disposed.
For tubs with a single wrapping, transportation is directly to the class C room. Thus, all tubs in the classified area are wrapped in a plastic film.
The packaging is then disinfected in an especially developed automatic spraying tunnel. The wrapping is sprayed with a disinfectant on all sides by means of jets. Any number of products can be used for this step, but alcohol and a sporocide are the preferred method. After spraying, the tubs remain in the tunnel until all the disinfectant has dried. They are then transferred to the crossing point into the filling zone, which is a class A cleanroom. The disinfected wrapping is cut open, but kept closed until the tubs can be introduced so that no contact is made with the remaining wrapping upon entering the higher-classification cleanroom. Only when it reaches the class A environment is the protective lid removed by machine. The automated process was designed to respond to the issue of how to introduce tubs and syringes aseptically into the classified area.
Avoiding Errors
Innovative in-process controls also help contribute to the avoidance of defective filling and ultimately, to greater safety and efficiency. A primary example is the 100% monitoring of all syringes. Prior to filling, each syringe is tested for having the necessary closure parts. An in-line 3-D scanner automatically scans the systems and registers any potential defects. Syringes lacking a closure part are identified and automatically left unfilled. This monitoring system is based on an end-to-end, track-and-trace system with testing and documentation features. Cameras are used to pick up starting data on the number of nested syringes and their formats, and the data is then printed on the tubs. Problems such as the absence of closure parts are automatically noted. The data is assigned directly to the particular syringe in the tub. An inline printer then notes the data on the tub. At the end of the line, a robotic arm automatically removes the syringes from the tub. This process not only prevents loss of substance, but also ensures the sterility of the machine itself by avoiding contamination due to substance leakage from a syringe lacking closure parts.
Processes That Meet Various Requirements
Aseptic safe handling of tubs meets one of the main requirements for filling innovative biologics and vaccines. Modern filling plants also have to meet new requirements regarding economic efficiency. This includes creating conditions for manufacturing a variety of substances. Quick and efficient product changeover is necessary because, as mentioned earlier, the blockbuster model is rapidly becoming obsolete and monoplants are no longer economically viable.
The production facilities should be able to apply the appropriate processing method for each type of substance. Basically, a line should also be able to fill various syringe systems and formats. Suitable packaging and volumes have to be available to meet differing demands. The line described above allows for the use of tubs with a single or double protective film as well as the pre-sterilized systems that may come from different manufacturers. The plant also has a filling station with as many as 16 filling heads for a variety of formats and quantities of syringes per tub. Tubs with as many as 160 nested syringes can be processed in this manner. The ability to use the appropriate format part for varying sizes also allows for a great deal of flexibility. Different procedures can be selected to install stoppers, so syringes with various silicon layers can be processed as well.
Furthermore, this plant was designed to integrate several pumping systems in order to meet the demands of various substances. For suspensions, permanent recirculation of the substance in solution is also possible. Thus, one facility offers various options and production conditions for a wide range of different substances.
The Key to Flexibility
One of the decisive issues in selecting a manufacturer is how flexible and quick it is in product changeover. In the case described, this plant uses a restricted access barrier system (RABS), which allows for fast production changes with a high degree of safety. RABS essentially implies stringent separation of user and areas that are in contact with the product. Plastic walls and doors create a physical barrier around the critical zones of the filling area. Ports for gloves are integrated into the barriers to perform the entire manual steps needed for product changeover. The area inside the walls is maintained under cleanroom class A conditions. Laminar flow air travels downward from the ceiling, surrounding the filling machine. The air then leaves the class A area by flowing underneath the barrier into the operating area, which is under class B conditions. From there it is filtered and directed back into the ventilation system.
During format change and filling, the separating walls must be kept closed. The barrier doors are only opened for cleaning purposes following manufacturing and microbiological monitoring. Line clearance can only be given after a high-level disinfection process is completed with the use of a sporocide. Once these procedures are completed, the gloves are removed and tested for integrity. If they are airtight, they can be sterilized, packed up, autoclaved, and then mounted back into the glove ports in the barriers. Prior to the next production cycle, the change of format can be initiated using the gloves, and without tools. Rapid locks allow for a fast change of parts that can be installed easily through strategically placed glove ports. All the sterilized format parts are brought into the machine using a SteriSet® container. And all parts of the machine or format parts are made of resistant materials that can be autoclaved like stainless steel (316L), PEEK, or silicon. Depending on the product to be filled and conditions on the line, clearance and setup of the line can be achieved within four hours.
An Efficient Plant
Short preparation times mean that even in the absence of blockbuster products, modern plants can achieve high capacity utilization. Lines like the one described above can fill several products a day using a 24-hour shift model. Depending on the syringe format and the substance being filled, some products can be manufactured for as long as 20 hours a day. With as many as 16 filling heads, translating to 50,000 syringes per hour, full production output can reach 1 million systems per day. By automatically avoiding filling syringes without closures, the system increases production reliability.
The plant is especially efficient thanks to its lean servicing concept. Because many processes have been automated, only three staff members are needed to run the line (depending on the situation and momentary requirements). Naturally, the system itself is not the only contributor to high efficiency. The design of the building around the line was also important to enable short paths between various processes such as the compound area and the filling station, permitting the greatest possible utilization of available substance supplies. In sum, reduced preparation times, higher capacity utilization, and leaner servicing resources are conducive to greater optimization of operating and unit costs.
Overall, the facility described offers the reader in detail how a modern manufacturing line can support the changing demands in prefilled syringe production. They must be flexible and allow for high safety and more efficient production. If these criteria are met, then commercial manufacturing plants will be able to respond to the current and future challenges like cost and competitive pressures, as well as meet the increased regulatory demands in the manufacturing of vaccines and other high-volume products. They will also support drug companies in their efforts to develop innovative therapies and enter growing market segments like vaccines.

The gigantic Winslow Family 4th of July Celebration celebrates its 25th anniversary this year with another tremendous lineup of great events which begin on Wednesday, July 1st!
Augusta's July 4th parade will begin at 4pm and private and business interests are now being asked to get on the list of participants! There's no cost, by the way!
No Memorial Day Parade in Bath this year because of illegal gambling. Booooo, hissssss. Very sad, seeing as how the parade has been a benchmark in the town for decades.
What a wild day in Boston as New England fans celebrated with the Patriots players and coaches, their Super Bowl victory. Here's a collection of pictures through social media.
The parade and rally for the World Champion New England Patriots is scheduled for Wednesday.
This past July 4th, weather played havoc on area events. After many events were postponed, some until Saturday and some waiting to run their 4th events on Sunday, it ended up being a weekend full of fun!
There was some horrendous lip syncing at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade this year. Why even give them a microphone...it just makes them look amateurish....
As road trips go, this was a great one. A little over a week ago, Mac Dickson rolled into my yard just after 8am and we jumped into my Jeep and headed for breakfast at the China Dine-ah!
The Boston Red Sox celebrated their 2013 World Series championship in front of an estimated 2 million fans on the streets of Boston.
My ole pal Cory King from the Skowhegan Area Chamber of Commerce joined us this morning to talk about Riverfest, which gets underway tomorrow and runs right through the weekend. It's going to be fun for everyone from casual spectators to those who want to take a raft ride in the gorge or a glow stick canoe/kayak ride down the river! Of course, there will be fireworks too!

Founded and supported by Grace Cathedral, the San Francisco Jail Ministry now draws volunteers from several Episcopal churches and beyond. We help the women and men in the jail connect with God and themselves, their families and loved ones, and with each other. It is a ministry of presence, hospitality and respectfulness.
There are two ways to get involved:
We offer evening prayer and reflection on scripture in a women's unit or the men's psych unit in San Francisco on Tuesday evenings. As a ministry of presence, we do not preach, proselytize or judge. We just pray, sing, and lead a conversational style of Bible study and reflection.
Help inmates maintain links with their children. Volunteers bring children's books and tape recorders to the incarcerated parents. The parent chooses a book and the volunteer records her or his voice as they read to their child. The book and recording are then sent to the child's guardian. Offered on selected Tuesday evenings in San Francisco and on Thursday evenings in San Bruno.
Being in the jails isn't for everyone or for everyone's schedule. Some other ways to participate include:
For more information, e-mail the Jail Ministry or call the Rev. Andy Lobban at 415-749-6364.

EDIT: I really, really hated the "finalized" purple background version of this that I originally posted, so that's in my scraps now. These are the original colors that I started the project with, and the colors that I prefer.
Oh my goodness, I have spent months trying to finish this, and I've finally completed it. ;w; Lovely Florina from FE7~! She's such a duality. On the one hand, she's this timid, frail-looking girl in a skirt who's afraid of men, and on the other hand, she's a complete badass who slaughters everything and everyone in her way. XD

I love this ;o
I love the colors.
great work and the character is very cute and beautiful
I just love the hair~!
She looks lovely.
Florina is so hawt, Favorited!
Lovely colors.
Great job, I'm loving the colors!
this is so cool! It looks great! Love it!
Very nice!
I like the choice of colors for her outfit. And I like the scuffing and stain work you did too.
I also style and work you put into her eyes.

I love the color combos in this picture!
Badass in heels, what a woman, good work
looks really nice !!
This is excellent! If you don't mind a tiny critique, it looks like her left arm (our right) is a little too far out from her body... like her shoulder is too wide or something? Does that make sense? But other than that, it's great. Love the anatomy, the outfit, the expression, the light and color... Fantastic job.
Thanks for the comment and for the advice! I probably won't make any changes, but I'll keep this in mind for the future!
Excellent! I wouldn't expect you to make changes to this pic, but I'm glad I could help for future reference.
Really good coloring Love it
Really an adorable drawing! Love the shading and pose. : )
so smooth and beautiful...
beautifull done but sad you dont but a small gradient in the back.
I used to have a big, glamorous background actually! I like the simplicity of a white background better in this case. Thank you for your feedback though! I'll consider it next time I do a character study like this.
Oh my God. The skirt. I love how you did the skirt.
This is such a great picture; I love how you captured Florina's kinda floofy cuteness while also adding some grit to the image.
Very unique!

Mum took her own life
/ News
A SOUTHAMPTON mum who was in a volatile relationship killed herself, an inquest heard.
Malgorzata Duchniewska was discovered by partner Marek Budzko, who had woken to find her cold next to him in their bed.
Southampton Coroner's Court heard how the couple, who met on a Polish dating website three years previously, were known to police for domestic violence.
However, investigations found no evidence of any violence leading to the 44-year-old's death and that the couple and a friend had spent the previous day together, drinking between them two or three bottles of strong vodka. She had also been Christmas shopping.
After hearing she had died from a fatal mix of alcohol and drugs, Southampton coroner Keith Wiseman said he was satisfied that Miss Duchniewska had taken her own life.

Customer Reviews
Disaster but barely did get it to work
Installed seemingly correctly on iPhone5 iOS7.1.2 and MacMini OS10.7.5
Did sent an image from Mac to iPhone.
But Refused to link from iPhone to Mac, so clicked link on Mac to send to, reinstall on iPhone.
No idea what happened.
My FireFox seemed stalled quite a while so I tried to close each of the two windows I had open, one to six tabs open in each.
First window Firefox asked if I really wanted to close 264 tabs!! Deskconnect had opened essentially all of those tabs. did get it closed
Second window Firefox asked if I really wanted to close 799 tabs!! Desk connect had opened essentially all of those as well. Did get it closed.
Got computer shut down and restarted.
Tried again, it did send a photo from iPhone to Mac, successful, OK.
Tried again, didn't like photo so didn't save. Then tried to open unsaved photo again from DeskConnect "Recent" menu, it apparently wasn't saved and no way to retrieve it. Not stored on my hard drive (unless maybe under another name)
Will uninstall if that is possible.
Why oh Why does Apple not allow Bluetooth transfer from iPhone???
I had emailed the photos from iPhone to myself but they never arrived. I suspect the iPhone is again maddeningly trying to send via Apple mail rather than my gmail, which just get the emails stuck in Apple Mail "drafts" even tho it says it sent them.
I'm quite sure the satisfactory reviews of DeskConnect are phony.
Good but I have some better ideas for it.
I like it pretty well as is but I would like it if you could have a window in the application with two tabs which show all the recently sent and all the recently recieved documents, websites, photos, etc. I like the Mac app much better than the iOS counterpart but that's beyond the scope of this review and I have already sent an email to them asking for an update to that. Also, I wish this had a share extension to make sharing through deskconnect a little easier. That would be for both iOS and OS X.
Overall, I would recomend this app but it could definitally be a lot better!
Best in Class When Not on the Same Network
This is my go-to when I want to share between platforms but I'm not on WiFi (or, as at work, not on a wifi network that let's me share). It works reasonably well, though it's really frustrating that the URLs are always in a .ZIP file of a .RTF file. That's not very convenient.
Still it gets the job done. Use something else if your devices are on the same wifi or Bluetooth network though. There are better products for those more controlled situations.

At the request of a few readers, we'll start a new Hall of Fame discussion thread now that the ballot has been narrowed down to 15. I'd give definite yes votes to Dan Marino and Steve Young, probably Michael Irvin and Russ Grimm, and I'm about the most enthusiastic supporter of Fritz Pollard you'll ever meet. Note the ad on this site supporting the candidacy of Pollard. For more on him, click here.

Sony Music Entertainment has struck a deal to use Digital Island's services on artist and label Web sites. Under the deal, Sony will use the Web hosting company's technology to stream audio clips and music videos in RealAudio, QuickTime and Windows Media Audio formats on its promotional Web sites in the United States, Canada, Europe and Latin America, according to Digital Island. The announcement comes shortly after Cable & Wireless, a British communications company, acquired Digital Island.
Texas Instruments and RealNetworks on Monday announced that they have broadened their partnership to offer streaming audio and video software for video equipment that uses digital signal processing (DSP). That equipment includes set-top boxes and video phones based on Internet Protocol (IP), network video appliances, personal video recorders, streaming media servers and security surveillance equipment. TI is a leading manufacturer of DSP chips, which clean up and enhance digital transmissions. As part of the agreement, TI will include RealAudio and RealVideo software in its TMS320C6000 DSP systems, allowing manufacturers of video equipment that use C6000 DSPs to provide their customers with access to audio and video streamed over the Internet. C6000 DSPs that include the RealNetworks software will begin shipping in the fourth quarter.
WebTV Networks inks an agreement with RealNetworks to finally give WebTV subscribers RealAudio, a feature customers have been demanding since WebTV's acquisition by Microsoft.

Digital media company Loudeye Technologies said Monday it has appointed John Baker as president and chief executive officer. Seattle-based Loudeye said Baker replaces David Bullis, who resigned to pursue family and personal interests. Baker has held various management positions in Internet technology, software publishing and private equity investing companies, including GT Interactive Software, Activision and Digital Media Campus. The announcement comes shortly after Loudeye said it completed its acquisition of DiscoverMusic, a Seattle-based company that provides databases of song samples and album-cover art. Loudeye, which helps companies digitize and distribute video and audio media, said the combined company will host the databases of song samples, which include more than 2.5 million samples from approximately 190,000 CDs. Loudeye also said it will provide a video sampling service for movie trailers in both Windows Media and RealAudio formats.

Love love love this perfume!!!! So fresh yet sophisticated. I've always appreciated the original, but it always overwhelmed me. Even if you don't like the original, give this one a try!!! And the packaging is so elegant!
Age: 36-43
Skin: Combination, Fair, Not Sure
Hair: Blond, Other, Other
Eyes: Blue
Love, love, love this perfume. The original No. 5 may be a little too much for me but this is a beautiful fragrance. On my skin, this is not a powdery smell. Definitely not "old lady". My husband loves this. Even my kids comment on how nice I smell. This is something I would purchase again and again. It may just be my signature fragrance. I just hope they don't discontinue it. If there's a saks near you please go in and try it out. So many perfumes just don't smell right on me but this one is perfection. I layer this with the chanel No. 5 lotion or velvet body cream. That way it lasts all day. All day I find myself smelling my arm. It's that good.
Age: 25-29
Skin: Dry, Other, Warm
Hair: Other, Other, Other

I'm not a big Chanel fan, and this starts off as a typical chypre, turns into a breezy, powdery fragrance, very stereotypical, nothing special on me at all, though pleasant. I'm not a big fan of this. Much more wearable than the original, I agree, but then again I don't like No. 5.
Age: 30-35
Skin: Combination, Fair, Cool
Hair: Brunette, Other, Other
Eyes: Blue
I find this to be much more wearable than the original Chanel No. 5, especially for us younger ladies. I've learned to appreciate the original, but I don't feel mature enough somehow to wear it, and it makes me slightly melancholy. I know Eau Premiere is made for daytime wear, but I find myself saving it for special occasions also, weddings, graduation parties, etc. Actually a great price for the huge bottle you get (is it a 2.5 oz. bottle for around $110?) but I've only bought a decant so far.
Age: 44-55
Skin: Normal, Fair-Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Other, Other
Eyes: Brown
I was a little wary of trying Eau Premiere, as I love the original No 5 and firmly believe in the adage "If it ain't broke don't fix it". In this case though, I admit Chanel have created an absolute delight. Eau Premiere is softer, warmer and kinder than the original and I am falling more in love with this every time I wear it. It also lingers on my skin all day. The feel of No 5 is still there, but with Eau Premiere her smile finally reaches her eyes.
Age: 30-35
Skin: Acne-prone, Fair, Cool
Hair: Brown, Straight, Medium
Eyes: Brown
I'm not a fan of the original No. 5. It reminds me of something my grandmother would wear (actually my grandmother does wear it). The Eau Premiere is a much lighter version of it, and it smells so lovely, sweet and classic! I wear it everyday as my signature fragrance and highly recommend!
Age: 30-35
Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Neutral
Hair: Brunette, Straight, Fine
Eyes: Black
I'm a fan of the original No. 5 parfum and do not like Nicole Kidman in the least (especially when she started being used in the No. 5 advertisments). However, I wanted to judge this scent in isolation of those biases, taking into account that this "incarnation" of No. 5 might have no olfactory relation to the original. I took a carded sample vial of No. 5 Eau Premiere on vacation with me to a tropical country. I used it every morning for a week and each time I only got a vague scent of lemon flavoured hard candy -- it reminded me of a less fruity, less potent Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue -- that was gone by the time I had finished breakfast. So I guess my biases win: I won't be buying a bottle of this perfume, but I'm sure the masses will flock to it's sweet inoffensiveness. I prefer the boozy strength of the aldehydic No. 5 original in the EDT, parfum, or colonge (but not the EDP because that, being an "incarnation" of No. 5 created in the 80s, seems to have less note progression as it wears and it reminds me of an inferior Chanel Allure EDT).
Age: 19-24
Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Neutral
Hair: Brunette, Straight, Medium
Eyes: Hazel
smells nice but wayyy to strong for my taste. would wear this once in a blue moon/special event.
Age: 30-35
Skin: Combination, Medium, Warm
Hair: Brown, Wavy, Medium
Eyes: Hazel
I really like this. I could never pull off the original No.5. It was just way too heavy for me. This is a much nicer version. Younger? It is still as sophisticated as the original. It makes me feel Womanly. Like I want to dress up in a gown and paint the town red. If that makes sense. It's a serious scent. But I would also wear it with jeans and a t-shirt.
I've been gravitating towards classic scents lately and this one is on my list of full sizes. There is just something about scents that ladies have worn generations before me. I feel like I'm carrying on tradition.
Age: 30-35
Skin: Dry, Fair, Cool
Hair: Blond, Wavy, Fine
Eyes: Grey
I have never cared for the original Chanel No 5 as I find it cloyingly floral - but when I read the first reviews on P'ville that this newer interpretation is different I was intrigued and tried it. And I have to agree, this is beautiful! Soft, well-blended with noticeable jasmine but the rest of the floral notes stay in the background so it never becomes overwhelming. I like it from first spray all the way to the drydown which is quite long lasting but the scent stays close. This makes Eau Premiere versatile and even office appropriate. I always liked Chanel's bottle design, classy and elegant. I got a 3.4 oz spray bottle, and will repurchase when I finish it. I will wear this in all seasons but I especially like it right now in late spring.

Go get your HERITAGE FESTIVAL 2011 program. It is out now. There are heaps at the City of Fremantle library and I took some to the Fremantle Society cottage at 11 Captain's Lane, so you can collect one there as well.
It looks a fantastic and very varied program, from the much anticipated Q&A at Victoria Hall, to Don's Tram Tours, vintage motor bikes, the Bernard Carney concert at the Town Hall, and much, much more.
Support our still independent Heritage Festival or it might end up being tsunamied by the Fremantle Festival!

Because CoD4 isn't Halo, where you can just 20 feet into the air and get shot 10 times in the chest before dying. You actually need to know what you are doing to achieve something in this game. BTW, whats up with your 'Sound' scores? Are you deaf or something? Oh, one tip. Being harsh while reviewing doesn't mean you are being demanding. It may just mean you like pretend your a 'tough' (pun intended) guy reviewing. But not exactly fair. P.S. He gave NHL and 8.6 because he is an hockey fan. That's why ;) P.P.S. Button mashing? LMFAO...you make me laugh... #6 Agree(1) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply toughNAME + 2907d ago I appreciate you being so angry with my Uncharted review that you had to go back and read all my other reviews:DIGN gave NHL 08 an 8.9...yet your laughing at me because I gave it a high review? And yes...I am a hockey fan...thats why I reviewed it You seem to enjoy chastizing me for my reviews.

And you did. This one for example. So what if IGN gave NHL an 8.9? They gave CoD4 a 9.4. Now what? And I don't think I insulted you, I just asked you if you were deaf. I mean, another example is the score you gave to Burnout Paradise's sound. 3? Because it has Avril Lavigne on there and you don't like her music? Sure its your opinion, but it shouldn't be influenced by your personal (music) tastes. About me writing my own review...if I find time to do it I probably will. Would prefer doing an Uncharted review, just because its fresh on my memory, but I want to finish hard mode first. We'll see.

When I tasted the 1993 Beaucastel in Chateauneuf du Pape, the wine was far more showy, flashy, and open-knit than bottles tasted stateside, admittedly right after reaching these shores. I backed off my initial high rating a bit and added the question mark because of how tannic, backward, and firm the wine showed on two separate occasions from a case I purchased. It certainly possesses a dense color, as well as plenty of body and intensity. However, the rich, sweet, open-knit bouquet has gone into hibernation, leaving a tightly knit wine that is frozen in place, reluctantly offering up aromas of black fruits and smoke. Tannic, austere, and more in step with the 1988, this appears to be a vintage that will require more initial cellaring than I had anticipated. It will be interesting to retaste this wine after it has had 4-6 months of rest on these shores. Last tasted 11/96.
The cherry, licorice and black pepper flavors are true to form, but dominated by firm tannins at this stage. Well made and should show better in 1997.

Rebellion of the Queen by Yula568Watch
©2013-2016 Yula568
This is the breaking point in my tale, when Chrysalis calls her swarm and conquer the Crystal Empire, draining Sombra's magic and claimin his throne. As she mocking the king, she takes his crown and armor too. But Chrysalis is still not satisfied and she is fighting with her changeling nature which is still hungry for conquer. She has the Crystal Heart and Sombra for draining... but something is missing. Something is bothering her inside. Her heart isn't empty any more... and it is making her angry.
Me and my dad fought a big battle with the computer, but I managed to make this pic after all
Me and my dad fought a big battle with the computer, but I managed to make this pic after all
Can I please use this as the cover for a fanfic I'm working on? I've looked everywhere for something like this.
But I thought she's his wife! Oh well
ALWAYS enjoyed Queen Chrysalis! very interesting character.
Chrysalis: I will eat all of your love!
Sombra: You will starve.
Sombra: You will starve.
-sarcasm- I am terribly frightened.
I can imagine her quoting Galadriel from LotR when she adresses her subjects at this point.
Chrysalis: " In place of the Dark Lord, you would have a Queen! Not dark, but beautiful and terrible as the Dawn! Treacherous as the Sea! Stronger than the foundations of the Earth! All shall love me and despair!"
Canonically, I don't think Chrysalis could take on Sombra. He has no love for her to drain. Even when gorged on love, Chrysalis could (barely) overpower one Princess, while it took two to stop Sombra.
That said, you always draw such a magnificent Chrysalis.

Daughter of King Sombra and Queen Chrystallis
Dark Ruby
Dark Ruby
Wow. I could so see King Sombra and her as a couple.
King Sombra and Queen Chrysalis 4ever!
WOW! I love Chrisy... and I Love this pic! *w*
I hate to be "that guy" but in all honesty, I think Queen Chrysalis is boring. OK yeah she looks cool she surprised me when i saw her but soon after that i thought she was just a generic bad guy that i have seen used over and over again.
Why does the title remind me of Code Geass? Heh, My Little Pony: Chrysalis of the Rebellion.
Magnificent work and a compelling story to go with it!
Nagyon szépek a képeid, imádom a Queen Chrystalis hajának a kidolgozásást! Csak így tovább!
That's just COLD...I mean...Sombra does love her,and she just overthrew him? Man...
Not that cold. She do it only, because she is hungry and her changeling nature overcome her, when Sombra capture Cadance, and Chrysa feels, she is no longer needed. She discover the power of the Crystal Heart, and want to try, if it can give her swarm unlimited source of love-power. But Sombra is in the way...
Of course it will be complicated
What happened to the Crystalians ? To Mi Amore Cadenza and Shining Armor ? *anxiety*
They are there. Fighting for the empire and try to somehow make things back to normal. But there is a complete madness in the city, as Chrysalis' army fight with Sombra's knights.
Changeling Army fight with Sombra's Knights, like in "alongside them", or against them in a gigantic three-way clusterbuck ?
Against them
Ok. So, in other words, the situation in much of Equestria and also in the Crystal Empire is a clusterbuck, wrapped into mayhem shrouded in utter confusion and disorder.
Great. Ain't that just great ?
Great. Ain't that just great ?
Oh,I was a bit confused. Thanks ^^'

Awesome pic.
Could she want... a love in her life? A TRUE love to satisfy her needs?
Nice job on it!
Nice job on it!
Sombra gave her true love, but she need to accept his... and her changeling nature, which want to conquer and devour the king isn't helping.
"He was like putty in my hooves..."
I love these pictures, Chrysalis is gorgeous in that Victorian sort of garb. 'w'
How you do your wings...O.O
So beautiful.
So Cool 8D
In my head canon, she wears those clothes to avenge Sombra's death.
beautiful love the dress she so freaking should have worn this in the show!

Article: Cloning and expression in Escherichia coli of opc, the gene for an unusual Class 5 outer membrane protein from Neisseria meningitidis[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A genomic library was constructed in a lambda gt11 vector using chromosomal DNA from a meningococcal serogroup A strain and plaques expressing the class 5C protein were recognized by screening with specific monoclonal antibodies. The opc insert was subcloned into a multicopy plasmid which induced expression of that protein in Escherichia coli as a surface-exposed major outer membrane protein. The nucleotide sequence of opc is typical of an outer membrane protein with a promoter and terminator region, a leader peptide which is cleaved during expression and a complete open reading frame. Unlike other meningococcal class 5 proteins or gonococcal P.II proteins, the sequence did not contain any pentanucleotide repeats and the sequence showed little homology to these other functionally related proteins. However, the predicted amino acid sequence of the mature protein for opc showed 27% similarity to that for a second opa gene cloned from the same meningococcal strain. This is the first report of cloning and expression of a functional meningococcal gene encoding a class 5 outer membrane protein in E. coli.
Article: Variation in Class 5 Protein Expression by Serogroup A Meningococci during a Meningitis Epidemic[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Serogroup A meningococci were isolated from patients and healthy carriers in The Gambia between 1982 and 1988. The class 5 proteins expressed by these bacteria were identified by electrophoretic migration and by serologic tests. Three protein serologic groupings (seroclasses) called A (protein 5a),B (proteins 5b, 5d, or 5e), and C (protein 5c or 5C) were found among 331 bacterial isolates. The number of class 5 proteins expressed per isolate varied from none to four, with a median of two. The class 5 protein composition differed for certain paired isolates obtained from the nasopharynx, blood, and cerebrospinal fluid of diseased patients and for certain pairs of sequential isolates from the nasopharynx of healthy carriers; the medical relevance of this variation remains unclear, although the 5C protein was preferentially isolated from the nasopharynx and the 5a protein from diseased patients. The data show that a large proportion of healthy carriers in The Gambia were exposed to bacteria expressing each of the three seroclasses and that many people were exposed to two or all three seroclasses during the epidemic of 1982–1983.

I love this tool and wish I could find another.I really, really want another one of these. I use this all the time gardening to cut away dead stalks, trim grass around shrubs, cut blackberry canes and many, many more uses. I love mine and I lost it. Please make these available again!
Like A Hot Knife Through Butter!This sickle is quite fantastic and slashes through weeds or out of control bushes like a hot knife through butter. I actually look for excuses to use it. Oh, neighbor, need that ivy slashed back?" "
Learned the Hard WayThis is a great sickle can be used by either a right or left handed person. I tried the cheap made in china sickles but they break, bend and become dull quickly. this sickle makes fast work of cutting back the spring flowers and ivy that grows out of control. The old saying is true, you get what you pay for"."
Sickle SatisfactionLove it - I can sweep this tool across the lawn or in the garden and trim back all the nasty weeds without getting close to them. It's sharp and fast - delightful.
I love itWe have a lot of brick paving in our landscaping, and even though I don't think it was meant to be used this way, it really works getting weeds out from between bricks and tight spots in concrete. It also makes quick work cutting down dead plants during fall cleanup.
Best 25 bucks I ever spent'nuff said. This little gem weeds, and trims like nobody's business. And it, quite literally, IS the best gardening tool I ever purhased for the price. Just fantastic !
Favorite weeding toolThis has become my favorite tool for garden weeding. It cuts precisely and cleanly, even through tough weed stalks like clover and yarrow, and you can easily cut weeds from between flowers or close to tree trunks.

Worth a visit
Nice quirky place.
Friendly people and great service. Restaurant well worth a go. All served hot and great choice. Good breakfast. My room was one awaiting refurbishment so not indicative of recent improvements although all comfortable. Getting to the car park at the back needs a bit of concentration and confidence as entry is narrow. Had read this before booking so was ready. Thought I was good getting my 508 in but someone had beaten me with a Range Rover. Lovely location. Would love to stay again.

Another assistant professor of history, Vernon Takeshita, has written a letter questioning my honesty and integrity regarding race issues. I hope it's the last letter like that. As explained below, this certainly will be the last reply from me on this topic.
The terrorists who attacked the World Trade Center have scored one victory beyond the physical — they have reduced our freedom by causing us to have to deal with measures such as "red alerts" and a government takeover of airport security. The vision behind my election as a Trustee includes 1) championing freedom and free speech on campus and making the administration of the College more open and responsive, 2) preserving Dartmouth's mission as a small, superb liberal arts college focused on undergraduate education and 3) using the benefits provided by the first two reforms to re-engage a large group of alumni/ae that is currently disaffected. Regarding my terrorist analogy above, I will not give up the freedom of action I earned in the Trustee election and abandon my big goals in order to write a weekly "I'm not a racist" rebuttal to letters like that of Professor Takeshita, who wrote an ad hominem attack replete with rants and factual misstatements. Screaming "racist" is the academic equivalent of the nuclear bomb that ends rational debate. I see that weapon used too often on the Dartmouth campus.
Here are some facts about minorities at my company: The latest report on Cypress Semiconductor Corporation shows a U.S. workforce of 2,123 people, of whom 40.6 percent are self-declared minorities (by law we cannot require people to declare if they are minorities, and many of our employees refuse to check any race box on their application form). Our San Jose workforce of 1,150 is even more diverse, with 52.8 percent identifying as minorities. Our U.S. minority population includes 308 people from India and 360 people from Asian countries, both groups lumped into the nonsensical, government-mandated "Asian" category. We also employ 88 African-Americans and 100 Hispanics.
These figures broadly reflect the workforce in Silicon Valley. We do, indeed, enjoy a diverse workplace. However, I believe that the diversity statistics cited, which the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission finds meritorious, are meaningless. Cypress could be the best — or the worst — company in providing a racially harmonious workplace, despite these figures. The "diversitycrats," who like to use narrow statistical categories to "prove" prejudice, ignore the only point that really matters: Does a statistically diverse group work together harmoniously in a merit-based society of equals? Or do they squabble endlessly over racial issues? Do people get promoted on hard work and merit? Or are the promotions awarded to minorities degraded by being quota-driven? Is the race issue a simmering cauldron of attacks and defenses, impairing organizational effectiveness? Or does the seamless organization spend its time striving to be excellent? Organizations run by top-down diversity bureaucracies are often the ones characterized by racial tension, in which every gesture and nuance of speech is hyper-analyzed on the basis of race and gender. The better alternative is a world where people simply respect each other as peers as they work together.
As for Professor Takeshita's assertion that he would be surprised if I really knew what my immigrant workers thought about my company and me, I have some data that he may find more up-to-date than the stories he cites from unnamed "old Asian American guys" that "tell you about the discrimination they saw" and the "promotions that never materialized." He is invited to call Emmanuel Hernandez, our Chief Financial Officer and an immigrant from the Philippines, or Antonio Alvarez, the Vice President and General Manager of our Memory Products Division ($440 million in revenue per year) and a Cuban immigrant, or Ilhan Refioglu the VP/GM of our Timing Technology Division ($160 million) and a Turkish immigrant, or Cathal Phelan, the VP/GM of our Personal Communications Division ($160 million) and an Irish immigrant who was recently naturalized. They are four of Cypress' seven total Securities and Exchange Commission-recognized corporate VPs. (We have other employees with VP titles in our sales force, for example, that the SEC does not consider as "corporate officers," the people legally responsible for running the company.)
Professor Takeshita derides my description of the current attacks on outsourcing as "low-class" and a "diatribe." That's because he clearly does not understand job and wealth creation. Here are a few more economic facts on the jobs we've created. Since our founding in 1983, Cypress has created 2,123 American jobs. In the last 10 years, we've paid $1,899 billion in wages, $40 million in direct taxes and $570 million more in withholding taxes for our employees. We have thus been a positive influence on both U.S. employment and the economy. Our shareholders have invested $322 million of their (retirement fund, college account and house savings account, among others) money in the company. The stock they hold is now worth $2.7 billion. When our investors sell their stock, they will pay at least $500 million more in taxes on their $2.4 billion capital gain, which will be reinvested to create more jobs. We export 61 percent of the chips we make in Minnesota and Texas, creating a net trade surplus. And yes, Professor Takeshita, we have also created 2,129 jobs offshore during that same period. The vast majority of our foreign workers perform test and packaging operations in our Philippines manufacturing plant — which is across the street from the Intel plant that packaged your Pentium chip and down the street from Analog Devices, the company that makes accelerometers for the airbags in your car.
And, to be completely forthright, we do have 100 engineers in Bangalore, and we do plan to double that number in a year or two. The unemployment rate in Silicon Valley is about 6 percent. That's too high, but it means that 94 percent of the engineers here are off the market. India graduates four times more engineers than the U.S. does. It is therefore inevitable that U.S. companies must hire in India to remain competitive. Would you prefer that Hitachi hire those excellent Indian engineers and use them to compete with us? So, sir, to your question, "What can Rodgers say to graduates from Thayer when the very jobs for which they trained may not even be offered to them because of outsourcing?" My response is, "Send me your resumes — we hire many more engineers in the U.S. than elsewhere — and ignore Professor Takeshita's diatribe."
I close with one final point on admission preferences. Please read what I said before condemning my views. I do believe in a merit-only admissions policy — for the relatives of alumni, for the football team and for minorities. However, in a world where other admissions preferences exist, it would be unfair to challenge only minority preferences at Dartmouth. Furthermore, the issue of preferences has never been on my priority list or highlighted for action in my Trustee statement.
That said, the racially charged environment at Dartmouth, the one exemplified by Professor Takeshita's letter, is a product of a "diversity machine" at Dartmouth that injects fear, hate and recrimination into the environment. That issue is on my "A" list for action.
