text: Meta Battle Subway PokeBase - Pokemon Q&A Login Register All Activity Questions Unanswered Tags Users Ask a Question Rules Chat In the episode called "Dawn's Early Night!", How come Dawn didn't make it to round two? 0 votes It says The first round ends as the results are calculated. Backstage, Dawn brushes Buneary as Pachirisu eats a Poffin, Dawn confident that she passed, even predicting that her and Zoey will be in the finals. The results are then announced as the eight Coordinators are posted one by one. Nando and Zoey take the top two and three. Other Coordinators are posted, leaving only one spot left, as Jessie and Dawn watch. The eighth Coordinator to advance to the Contest Battles is not Dawn, but Jessie but why didn't Dawn make it to round 2 even though she did do great? P.S. I don't mean to repeat this question but I did it because I Accidently pressed hide and after I pressed reshow the question was gone. anime asked Aug 9, 2013 by jacobalex98 Please log in or register to add a comment. Please log in or register to answer this question. 1 Answer 4 votes Best answer Well, my best bet would be that the producers of the Pokémon Anime wanted to prolong the series. Plain and simple. As you know, Jessie provides a soothing musical number with her Pokemon doing a little dance. Which is nice enough as it is. However, part of it might be due to something that happened in an earlier episode. Way back in the beginning of the Diamond and Pearl series, Dawn and her Ambipom did a performance where Ambipom was completely enveloped by the stars from it's Swift attack. Piplup and Buneary have a lot of bubbles floating around that may partially block Buneary and especially Piplup, seeing as they share a color pallet. Even though it ends in a classical shower of sparks, it may have been difficult to see, and maybe difficult to judge. However, this is only a theory of mine. Also, though I've forgotten exactly how many badges Ash had, it may have been so that they can continue to have contests while Ash travels. In addition to that, Ursula won't have had that ribbon, possibly putting her out of the Grand Festival. Dawn winning the next one guarantees her a spot in the Festival, and then the Princess (I forgot her name) with her Togekiss wouldn't have won the Contest and given Jessie her last ribbon, getting her a spot in the Festival as well. It's a puzzle that fits everyone in the plot nicely. Anyways, hope that answers your question. ~Rio answered Aug 9, 2013 by Rio selected Aug 11, 2013 by jacobalex98 Please log in or register to add a comment.

Spc. Steven Long, a parachute rigger with the 647th Quartermasters Company, and a Hickory, N.C., native, pulls parachute strings as he tightens the pack on Fort Bragg, N.C., Feb. 22. Parachutes like this were used to airdrop heavy cargo into a recent Joint Operation Access Exercise in Sicily Drop Zone. "The crew here works hard, and are confident that they can complete the mission no matter what," Sgt. Matthew Butler, a production non-commissioned officer with the 647th Quartermaster Co., said.

"Fiesole: The Perfect Getaway" Top 5 Page for this destination Fiesole by Jefie
Fiesole Travel Guide: 51 reviews and 151 photos
Fiesole is a charming little town located about 8 km away from Florence. Early one afternoon, after having spent a few hours walking around Florence, we decided to follow the advice VTer leics had given me and we took a bus to Fiesole. As we started making our way up the hill towards the village, we were immediately greeted by magnificent views and I could only imagine what it would be like once we got to the top of the hill - and I was not disappointed! Florence looks amazing seen from the hills of Fiesole, as does the surrounding countryside. But there's more to do in Fiesole than just admire the view: this Etruscan village dating back to the 9th century B.C. is home to a great archeological museum, a cathedral, a monastery, several little churches, a few really nice parks and a lovely piazza. It truly is the perfect little getaway!
- Pros:Quiet, romantic, beautiful views
- Cons:It's all up hill so make sure to bring those walking shoes!
- In a nutshell:It's all just a quick bus ride away from Florence!

Nice page Isa, I am certain it must be the hill we were taken to when we visited Florence 2005. They took us to a hill for the view back to the city. I must check out my page.
Nice page Isa. I visited Fiesole looong ago.
Hello Isa, We heard about Fiesole but did not get there. Pleased to discover through your tips.
The View is excellent, you were lucky to take the bus ride, and the fare so cheap.

Sasha Dobson: Brazilian and American Jazz
Set List
- "Modern Romance"
- "Crescent"
Singer-songwriter Sasha Dobson carries on in the jazz tradition of past greats like Ella Fitzgerald, with a sultry voice and extensive performance experience, but she remains an unconventional performer. Now 26, Dobson has been performing professionally since she was 16, in the process crafting a unique fusion of Brazilian and American jazz.
The daughter of notable jazz musicians — pianist Smith Dobson and singer Gail Dobson — Sasha Dobson has the genes and a strong musical foundation to make powerful, uplifting music. With 10 years of professional experience under her belt — she's long performed with the Dobson Family Band and the Chris Byars Octet — Dobson likely has amazing success ahead of her. Modern Romance, Dobson's new album, is a fine collection of originals and genre-bending covers of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' "Modern Romance" and Duke Ellington's "Mood Indigo."

Tulsa native Katie Hawkins makes acting debut in Hallmark Channel movie "Puppy Love"
Saturday night will be a big night for Tulsa native Katie Hawkins.
Hawkins, 12, will gather with family and friends in her hometown to watch her acting debut at 8 p.m. in the Hallmark Channel movie "Puppy Love."
In "Puppy Love," Hawkins plays Caitlin, a 10-year-old who has recently relocated to a new town with her mother, Megan (Candace Cameron Bure). Megan lets Caitlin adopt a dog to help her adjust, not knowing the dog Caitlyn chooses is the beloved lost dog of a baseball player they met briefly as they were leaving the animal shelter.
Hawkins has been temporarily living in Los Angeles, along with her mother, Cristie, and younger brother, Scott. Part of her family relocated so Hawkins could work on her modeling and acting career, which took flight after she attended ProScout Dallas early last year and then signed with Abrams Artists and Paradigm talent agencies.
Hawkins' father, Bill, an ear, nose and throat doctor, is maintaining his practice in Tulsa, and her older brother, Ryan, attends the University of Oklahoma.
"My mom is a radiologist, so she works from home ... and my dad flies out almost every Thursday ... We're still really close to each other. And it hasn't changed anything. We Skype every night," Hawkins said in a phone interview with The Oklahoman.
"Puppy Love" was a wonderful beginning for her acting career, according to Hawkins, who has wanted to be an actress since the age of 4.
"It was a great experience. I'm so blessed to have the experience. The other people in it were so nice to me. And, it was really interesting to see what they do. The dogs are super-smart and trained, and they put (chicken-flavored) baby food on your cheek bone, and the dog will come up to you and lick it, and, so, it looks like it's just coming to you. You give them treats, and they're really nice dogs," she said.
Working with Bure was also beneficial for the young performer.
"She is really nice, and she's a great actress, and I look up to her. And, I always try to act as well as she can. She helped with some of the things that I did."
Hawkins has two dogs of her own and enjoyed working with BugZ, who plays Jake in "Puppy Love," as well.
"It was really fun. I got to give him treats, and he'd always come over to me and I'd pet him. The dog's super-nice and energetic," she said.
Hawkins also shared there's a lot more to acting than meets the eye.
"I definitely learned that it takes a lot more than what other people think of actors. You wake up at 5 a.m. to just drive in — you have to be here at this time — and you go straight to hair and makeup and get all these outfits on, and it's a lot more work than other people say it is."
When asked who she might like to co-star in a project with, an Oscar winner and a comedy veteran topped Hawkins' list.
"I absolutely love Reese Witherspoon, so I think it'd be fun to be with her in one. I also think David Spade's a really funny actor, and I met him at the Cheesecake Factory once and he's super-nice, and I think he'd be fun to work with," she said.
And, Hawkins has other interests outside of acting as well.
"I love cheerleading. I love soccer and volleyball, and I'm going to possibly play volleyball at school. We're not sure yet. And, I like gymnastics a lot," Hawkins said.

We needed a place to stay after driving east from Seattle and saw this campsite as an opportunity to get away from the freeway traffic noise. Originally we were set to camp in an electric site but, after looking around elected to stay on the grass in the middle away from other campers so as to get a little more privacy. Campsites spaced close together. Manager quite nice when we arrived but caution to any big rigs that the turn by the office is tight. Unhook at the gas station before you enter the park. Large fifth wheels might be a tight fit. Campground itself has plenty of room for big rigs or 5th wheels if you can negotiate the 165 degree turn. - photokent

A resort in the making but not quite there yet. If your focus is on rafting a beautiful river in some spectacular country this may work for you. As an RV campground for overnight or as a base for touring, not so much. Rates get you a grassy spot near a power post. Available water is marked Non Potable. If there is 50 amp we missed it. The 30 amp we had could not keep up with our A/C. Popped the post breaker repeatedly. Buildings are remnants of a bygone day, tired and worn. Despite being 2 miles North of I-90 it's amazing how much traffic noise there is. Having said all that the folks working to make a go of it are good hearted and hard working. - CharlieB

Don't be fooled by the "work in progress" when you drive in because this was the most awesome RV park I have stayed in. You get a nice safe quiet stay on a beautiful river. You could not find better food right there in the restaurant and there is alcohol to boot. The owner will go out of her way to make you right at home. I plan to return to stay in the guest rooms next time I fly in. The atmosphere is peaceful, fun, and relaxing. - Simone Michelle

So bhb am I making a fashion faux pas?
Is there an age that jeans with holes are no longer acceptable?
So bhb am I making a fashion faux pas?
I don't do jeans with holes. I won't even let my kids play outside with jeans with holes. I don't like the look.
Katie: Elizabeth 08/11/2007: Annaleigh 05/12/2009: Heather 02/22/2011 Jack 01/04/13
I'd say 18.
You asked her if she was giving you a disapproving look and she ignored you?
I personally think jeans with holes are not acceptable at any age. I don't even let my kids wear jeans with hole. They just look tacky to me. I know they can be expensive. I also dislike it when women trying to hard to look/dress young. I think jeans with hole fall into that category on women over 30.
Who cares what she thinks?! I'd wear them out of spite and don't forget to SMILE at her whenever she is looking at you!:) Smile and say HI!:)
That's just PTO people for you. ;)
I don't wear hole-y stuff to my kids' schools.
Mama to a diamond, ruby, and a pearl!
I also dislike it when women trying to hard to look/dress young.
I do agree with this. We have a teacher at my school who wears Hollister shirts and today wore jeggings. She's 45

Product Details
It's Like Getting Two Scales In One Need a shipping scale? Postal scale? The UltraShip has got ya covered. To get the most accurate weight readings of items both small and large, My Weigh designed this shipping scale with dual resolutions. Why? Small items, like letters and envelopes need more accurate weight readings since you pay by the ounce to mail them...Larger items, packages and boxes, require a higher capacity and are usually rounded up to figure shipping costs. This ultra scale's design will give you the accurate weight readings you need at a very affordable price.
Digital Remote Weight Display If you've ever had a tough time seeing the weights on your scale's display because of a large package, (or anything else that might cover your weight display) you'll know what a great feature this is. My Weigh designed this shipping and postal scale with a backlit weight display that pulls away from the scale so ya can see your weights even with a BIG package on the scale...the display's cord reaches over three feet long! When ya don't need the remote readout, just pop the display back into place on the front of the scale.
Hold Feature With this cool feature you can weigh your item, press the "HOLD" key, and remove your items from the scale. After you take your item off the scale, the weight reading will remain on the display. This can come in handy for larger packages...you can even switch through the different modes and see what your items weigh in each unit.
Tare Feature The tare button on the front of this digital postage scale can be pressed to "zero out" the weight on the scale. You can then add more weight, and the display will only show the weight of the items you're adding. This sure is useful when ya want to use the included attachment pieces for weighing your things, or if ya want to get separate weights of multiple items.
Programmable Auto-Off Feature If you've ever had your scale turn off on ya in the middle of important measurements, you'll realize what a blessing this feature is. You can program the Ultra 55 to turn off automatically, or to stay on until you turn it off yourself.
It Remembers The Last Unit Ya Used If your application needs weights in the same unit of measurement, (like ounces for instance), it can be a real pain if your scale always turns on ready to weigh in grams. It's a good thing the My Weigh Ultra Ship turns on displaying the unit of measurement you were using when ya turned it off.
30 YEAR MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY! If ya have a problem with this scale, just send it to MyWeigh's warranty center in Phoenix, Arizona. They'll fix or replace your scale and send it on its way back to ya within a week of receiving it. You should expect your replacement to arrive in about two to three weeks from the day you send the original off. Keep in mind that sometimes MyWeigh runs out of stock, which can cause a delay in the warranty replacement process.

I love the scale, so easy to use, I use it weigh fertilizer for my garden. It was shipped fast, and had no problems with it so far. Great product and service.Reviewed by: Wayne Deshotel from Hessmer,La on (4/2/2016)
I LOVE this scale! And I received it so quickly. I am very pleased with your company and highly recommend you. The scale is very easy to use. It has nice big read-outs that are easy to read. I am very happy I found your web site!Reviewed by: Susan Hunter from Illinois on (3/22/2016)
Absolute investment if you plan on selling online, especially Ebay. Vital instrument that will allow you to avoid standing in line at the post office...priceless.Reviewed by: R.L. from South Texas on (3/1/2016)
Excellent product!! Great quality - even greater value! Makes my home business run that much more efficiently. Thank you for making such a great product affordable! Will definitely buy more items in the future!!Reviewed by: Jennifer from Madison, GA on (2/19/2016)
Excellent scale! Exactly as described and works perfectly! Also, excellent customer service...I ordered or a Friday afternoon and received it priority mail on Monday!Reviewed by: Jerine from New mexico on (3/19/2015)
I got this (along with the AC adapter and the stainless steel top accessory) to use for home brewing. I am very happy with all items, and the service from Old WIll Knot. The Ultraship 35 would probably have been fine for me as well, but for the small price difference I figured I would prefer this model. The 2 gram / .1 oz resolution is plenty accurate for hops weighing, and I appreciate the large capacity for weighing out grains. The display is large and easy to read, and I like that it comes off the main uint. It IS a bit difficult to remove because the tabs / latch are a bit difficult to operate. So I have I disconnected the display and just leave it resting where it goes on the unit, but not latched in, so it's easy to move if I want but otherwise stays in place.

I have purchased several of these scales in various colors and weight limits. I have been very satisfied with the quality. I have used the warranty and they replaced the unit without question. It was a very smooth transaction.Reviewed by: Randy Stone from Lexington, KY on (11/3/2014)
I often have to weight oversize items and the removable front panel makes this simple. At last! Nice selection of modes, and weight range. Bought the power adapter as well. Get both!Reviewed by: Tim from Burlington, Wisconsin on (9/12/2014)
I bought this scale in 2008 to weigh seed for calibrating agricultural planting machinery and also small amounts of mineral supplement to be added to livestock feed. The scale works great and has never failed me.Reviewed by: Tom Platt from Davenport WA on (7/13/2014)
An excellent single scale for all my needs, The removable face for large packages allows me to keep the scale on a higher shelf and still be able to read the weight. I released the face and taped it back to the scale in a more vertical position. Works great!Reviewed by: Charlton Jones from GA on (7/9/2014)
Great Product will recommend this site to friendsReviewed by: Paul from conn on (4/1/2014)
Got the 55lb. scale BUT no operator manual anywhere. The message on the website offers-'To get a PDF of the manual just click here' and I did so BUT there was no result. It doesn't WORK! So I emailed them, you have to 'open a Ticket'( Huh? ). So I did so and filled it out and told them I wanted the PDF manual they offered. What did I get as a response? They gave me a link for the manual and said if that didn't work to request that it can be sent to my direct email, but all it did is send me BACK to the website to the same inoperative request button, and then they CLOSED the ticket, thank you! So I emailed them again asking for a PDF to be sent to my direct email, like they offered. NO RESPONSE to that SECOND request for the operator's manual. They just don't seem to care. I am resisting the urge to call them fearing I am going to lose my temper with these bozos. You know, even my counter top Blender and my hand held beater/mixer came with an instruction manual. But a sophisticated electronic delicate instrument like this scale doesn't come with an operator's manual? Are you kidding? Oh yeah, I figured out how to use the scale in a while, but that is not the point. No manual and NO response to my request for one! I should return it on principal but I need it now so I will call them later and let them know just what I think of their act. Knocking off 2 stars for No manual, and No response to my REQUEST for one either. Too bad if they don't like that!Reviewed by: Albert Phillips from Kentwood, Mi. on (1/10/2014)
Machine is exactly as described and excellent follow up on shipping. Working perfectly.Reviewed by: janet Panaggio from Newton , MA on (12/15/2013)
I ordered scale next day air and paid over $70 to have it delivered next morning. Per Old Will policy, they setup delivery with UPS and did not require a signature. Item was delivered to wrong building and I did not get it until late afternoon - well past time it was needed. Why would a company ship expensive scales and not require signature for delivery? I called and they said it was a UPS matter not their issue so I have to call UPS -- how can I request a refund from UPS when I did not even the shipping company? I would suggest talking to someone about shipping and delivery polices before you waste a ton of money like I did paying for something that you didn't even receive.Reviewed by: Rob from Kentucky on (5/27/2013)
The scales are just what I had in mind and needed - they work very well and will be used for years to come. Thank you for the prompt delivery and the wonderful way the item was packaged - no danger of it being damaged in shipmentReviewed by: Joyce Garrison from New York State on (8/22/2012)
This is a great general purpose shipping scale - much better than the USPS scale it replace. The backlit display is easy to read and the controls/display can be easily detached when weighing large boxes. Only suggestion for improvement is to include an A/C adapter with the scale.Reviewed by: Steve in CT from NH on (7/20/2012)
I have a commercial bakery and have been using the My Weigh Scales and Old Will Knot for MANY years. I cannot speak highly enough about all the scales that I have gotten from Old Will Knot. Even when a scale breaks, the 100% lifetime replacement guarantee makes it painless. I have recommended the scales and company to many of my professional colleagues.Reviewed by: Michael from Norcross, GA on (2/15/2012)
Excellent product. Exactly as described on-line. Works great. THANKS !Reviewed by: Gary Boal from Rolling Hills Estates on (1/6/2012)
Received order quickly, scale works great. They were also very quick to respond when I had submitted a question.Reviewed by: Dee from Oklahoma City, OK on (12/26/2011)
Questions and Answersask a question
A: Hey there Gail,
No, unfortunately it does not. We do not offer any scales that have that capability.
Take care,
A: Hey there Carol,
The main difference is the maximum capacities of the scales. The Ultraship 35 has a maximum capacity of 35 pounds, and the Ultraship 55 has a maximum capacity of 55 pounds.
The more subtle difference is the resolution of the scales. If you take a look at the "Weighing Modes" section for both of the scales, you'll notice the resolutions are different as well. As a rule of thumb, the higher the capacity for a scale, the lower the resolution.
Let's have a look at grams. The Ultraship 35 has a resolution of 2 grams with weights under 900 grams, and a resolution of 5 grams with weights over 900 grams.
The Ultraship 55 has a resolution of 2 grams with weights under 900 grams, which matches the Ultraship 35. However, with weights above 900 grams, the resolution changes to 10 grams; that differs from the Ultraship 35 by 5 grams.
These changes in resolution are incrementally the same throughout the weighing modes. (Pounds, Ounces, Pounds:Ounces and Kilograms)
Other than that, the scales are exactly the same.
Take care,
A: Hey there DT,
You shouldn't have to recalibrate the scale, it comes factory calibrated. It's usually a good idea to recalibrate the scale if there is any physical trauma, extreme temperature changes, or if the scale works it's way out of calibration from normal use.
Take care,

StillwaterHouse Tea Room will be open on Mondays beginning August 18th
My friend and I recently visited Stillwater Tearoom for a very pleasant afternoon. We made reservations and were seated upstairs. The house is decorated beautifully and the atmosphere is conducive to relaxing conversation. The owner had brewed a tea for the day, but was very happy to accomodate our selection. Tea was served in three courses with a scone, fruit and cheese first, a chicken salad croissant second and a cucumber and pimento sandwich with tea treats third. The food was very tasty and presented well. The owner was gracious and attentive. I would definitely recommend it and plan to return. My suggestion would be to request your tea selection when making the reservation and also your choice of lemon or milk to accompany.

Suffolk Virginia has a new tea room and it is excellent! The Stillwater House Tea Room opened recently and my wife and I have already been twice. While Stillwater House serves a selection of lunch items, it also serves traditional English tea with a selection of teas, soup, fruit, finger sandwiches, scones, and deserts. Everything they do is done with excellence. The food is delicious and the price is very reasonable. Give Stillwater a try--you will be glad you did!

Welcome to Adam Hjort's Traditional Acupuncture Clinic in Arundel Gold Coast, specializing in physical medicine and traditional acupuncture treatment. Adam is a highly qualified health care professional offering tailored treatments by means of traditional east Asian methods.
Traditional Acupuncture Clinic Gold Coast
Traditional acupuncture is a term Adam uses to convey his dedication to the principles and practices of Traditional East Asian Medicine. A significant feature of this medicine is its holistic understanding of the human body. Such ideology is beneficial for appreciating a person's individual needs, and devising a flexible treatment strategy to suit young, old, healthy and sick alike.
Moxibustion is a specialized branch of Traditional East Asian Medicine often used to complement acupuncture treatment. It involves the strategic application of heat to the body commonly through the burning of shaped 'moxa' fleece. As a stand-alone therapy moxibustion has a powerful capacity for healing and has been used for centuries throughout Asia to treat a wide variety of health conditions.
Massage is a staple of many of the physical medicine traditions of Asia. When used in conjunction with acupuncture and moxibustion, massage is often utilised for preparation and supplemental purposes. Due to Adam's preference for hands-on therapy massage is frequently applied to assist and enhance the effects of treatment.
Only $50 per Treatment

Okay, I'm not going to pull any punches here: we LOVED this car. I was a mite worried at first that the B-Class was going to be a sort of dumbed-down version of a Mercedes; a cheaper, less luxurious and essentially stripped-down version of the archetypal luxury vehicle. Wrong! The 2010 B-Class Mercedes Benz was everything you would expect from a Mercedes, and it comes with a very palatable price tag, too.
This is such a cute little car! I love it! Adding it to my list.
So how do I become a Mercedes product tester? I am not even joking! My son is almost 16 and I told him he would get my car when he gets his licence and that I was buying a Mercedes. Would love to be able to test one out.

Physics is such a comprehensive topic that no one could possible hope to include every aspect of it in one place. Entire libraries are dedicated to trying to do just that and they find something new to add every year. What Universe Today has done is compile a list of links to a wide variety of the physics topics that can be found on this site. To sort of intrigue you before you dive into the links, here are a few physics facts:
Absolute zero is -273.15º C. No lab has ever been able to produce it. Close, but no cigar.
Scientist know that nuclear fusion could produce enough energy to sustain our world throughout the remainder of its existence, but no one has ever been able to produce controlled nuclear fusion. The key to fusions success is in control.
John Dalton is known for creating the basis for the current atomic model, but did you know the first atomic model predates his by over 1,000 years?
According to the second law of thermodynamics, our universe will end in a horrible heat death.
Did you know that there is a large number of people who think that the Large Hadron Collider will actually create a black hole that will engulf the Earth from the surface? A little too much science fiction, don't you think?
These are just a few of the interesting facts that you can find in the links below. Enjoy your hunting!

The UK banned keeping sows in stalls during pregnancy in 1999 and the rest of Europe is supposed to have followed suite by January 2013.
But in many countries in Europe sows are still kept in metal stalls for up to four months at a time where they cannot turn around.
Figures released by Brussels this month show that with the continental ban only days away, 80 per cent of European Union countries have not yet complied with the ban.
France is only 33 percent compliant with the European stalls ban, Germany only 48 percent and Ireland only 57 percent.
The National Pig Association (NPA) estimate around 40,000 'illegal' pigs an hour will be entering the European food chain in January.
Even allowing for a last minute rush to remove sows from stalls and house them in new group pens, this indicates that nearly two million pigs a week from farms operating illegally will be delivered to Europe's processing plants.
Richard Longthorp, NPA chairman, said consumers in the UK will be eating illegal pork.
"It makes a mockery of Europe's animal welfare legislation. As the United Kingdom imports around 60 percent of its pork — much of it as processed food such as ham and bacon — shoppers will need to be very careful about what they choose from supermarket shelves and when eating out in restaurants."
NPA is urging British shoppers who care about animal welfare not to buy imported pork or processed pork products such as bacon, until all European Union member countries have complied with the stalls ban.
NPA general manager Dr Zoe Davies said that supermarkets are unable to tell if European pork is illegal or not so it is best to buy British.
"The major British supermarkets have promised they will not sell pork from continental farms operating illegally but our concern is that in many cases these farms will be difficult to identify and everybody admits that imported processed foods will be almost impossible to trace," she said.
"Our advice to shoppers is always to look for the independent Red Tractor logo on the pack, which is an absolute guarantee that the product comes from a British pig farm where keeping sows in stalls has been banned for over a decade."

chemistry research projects
The following research projects are on offer:-
|Rehabilitation of cholesterol
The molecule cholesterol generally gets a very bad press, mostly because it is recognized to be a major contributor to heart disease. However, the plasma membranes of all of our cells naturally contain up to 50 mol% cholesterol and we actually produce it in our bodies via a biosynthetic pathway. Therefore, cholesterol must be there for some good reason. However, in spite of more than 100 years of research the reason is still a mystery. Help us to find the reason and give cholesterol a good name for once. The hypothesis we are investigating is that cholesterol is crucial to the activity of the Na+,K+-ATPase, the ion pump which controls, among other things, the volume of all of our cells. Experimental measurements will involve the replacement of cholesterol in natural membranes containing the Na+,K+-ATPase with various cholesterol derivatives and assaying the effects they have on enzyme activity. In parallel experiments, the effects of cholesterol and its derivatives on a variety of membrane properties, such as fluidity, surface tension and dipole potential will be determined to elucidate which membrane properties are crucial in determining Na+,K+-ATPase function.
Light-activated ruthenium(II) prodrugs
Research in my group focuses on the development of new and selective anticancer agents. Developing anticancer agents that can act on a tumour without affecting healthy cells is a major challenge in drug design. We are developing transition metal complexes as inert prodrugs of anticancer agents then using a range of methods to selectively release the anticancer agent in a tumour cell. The research projects in this area combine inorganic and organic synthesis with a range of spectroscopic and analytical techniques.
We are developing ruthenium(II) prodrugs with anticancer agents as ligands. The ruthenium complexes are stable and non-toxic in the dark, but the metal-ligand bonds are rapidly cleaved when the complex is irradiated with visible light. This project will focus on synthesising a novel series light-activated prodrugs and evaluating their stability with light using techniques such as UV-visible and 1H NMR spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry. Promising complexes will be tested against a series of tumour cell lines.
New chemical tools to study metals in biology
Metals play many important roles in biological systems, but if levels are uncontrolled, they can cause cellular damage. It is thought that imbalances in metals play a role in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's. In order to better understand how metals can cause disease, it is important to be able to visualise how metal ions accumulate and move in cells. This project will involve the design of fluorescent sensors that bind selectively to biologically-important metal ions such as copper, iron and nickel, and report on the presence of the ion by a characteristic change in fluorescence emission. We will study the fluorescence behaviour of these sensors, and then measure their emission in cells by confocal microscopy.
This project will involve synthesis and fluorescence spectroscopy, with an option to observe biological studies.
Simulation of crystallization in molecular liquids
The kinetics of crystallization in a molecular liquid depends on the both the rate of molecular translations and rotations and the complexity of the crystal structure being formed. Computer simulations provide a unique insight into how these factors contribute to the rate at which a molecular crystal can grow. In this project a student will use existing software to model the crystal growth of a model molecule. Some familiarity with computer programming is helpful but not necessary.
|Synthesis of block copolymers using ATRP
Do you want to learn how to transfer liquid building blocks into solid polymer chains? During this project you will learn how to master a polymerisation technique called atom radical transfer polymerisation, short ATRP. Today, ATRP is one of the most commonly used polymerisation techniques and allows tailor-made polymer synthesis. You will polymerise monomers into block copolymers and analyse your produced macromolecules using various techniques, such as nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and size exclusion chromatography (SEC).
|pH-responsive block copolymers using RAFT
Do you want to learn how to make micelles that respond to pH changes? During this project you will learn how to master a polymerisation technique called reversible addition-fragmentation chain-transfer (RAFT) polymerisation. Did you know that RAFT was invented in Australia? Within this project, you will polymerise monomers into block copolymers which can assemble into micelles in water. You will also analyse your produced materials using various techniques, such as nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, size exclusion chromatography (SEC), dynamic light scattering (DLS) and a Zeta sizer.
|New medicines for the treatment of tuberculosis
We have discovered a new class of molecules that have potent antibiotic activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tb.) the causative agent of tuberculosis (TB). These compounds are structurally unrelated to any other used drug in the clinic or in development for the treatment of TB. Our new compounds are macrocyclic polyamines and their metal complexes, very unusual drug candidates. We are currently investigating which parts of the molecule are required for activity, and working out how these compounds kill mycobacteria.
As a Summer Scholar on this project, you will synthesise new molecules for testing against M. tb., gaining experience in organic synthesis, purification techniques and spectroscopy (in particular 1H and 13C NMR, IR and mass spectrometry).
|Cobalt(III) complexes for drug delivery
Research in my group focuses on the development of new and selective anticancer agents. Developing anticancer agents that can act on a tumour without affecting healthy cells is a major challenge in drug design. We are developing transition metal complexes as inert prodrugs of anticancer agents then using a range of methods to selectively release the anticancer agent in a tumour cell. The research projects in this area combine inorganic and organic synthesis with a range of spectroscopic and analytical techniques.
Certain diseases, such as cancers and tuberculosis, have regions of cells with very low oxygen concentrations (hypoxia) due to poor blood supply. These cells are some of the most difficult to treat and are resistant to most commonly used chemotherapeutics. We can take advantage of this hypoxic environment by designing prodrugs that are inert under oxygenated conditions but labile in a hypoxic, reducing environment. We are using cobalt(III) prodrugs for this purpose, which are highly inert under normal oxygenated conditions but are reduced to labile cobalt(II) in hypoxic tumour cells. Projects in this area will involve the synthesising of new cobalt-drug complexes, with particular focus on using fluorescent tags to allow the complexes to be tracked in tumour cells.
Figure: A fluorescent drug is released in hypoxic tumour cells by reduction of the cobalt centre.
|Robust superhydrophobic surfaces
Water repellence is important in many technological applications, such as for the design of self-cleaning and water-proof coatings, and for more efficient microfluidic devices. Nature offers fascinating examples of extreme water repellence, such as the surface of the lotus leaf, on which water flows and rolls-off easily, leaving the leaf dry and clean. In the lotus leaf, the hydrophobicity of the surface is enhanced by a special nano- and micro-scale roughness, which traps pockets of air, and leads to the beading up of water droplets. This effect leads to 'super-hydrophobicity', or extreme water repellence.
In this project we aim to fabricate artificial superhydrophobic surfaces using polymer layers. In this project we will combine experimental procedures already established in the group to produce new surfaces that are mechanically and thermodynamically robust.
Synthesis and evaluation of novel tuberculosis or malarial drug candidates
Tuberculosis (TB) and malaria represent two of the most deadly infectious diseases, responsible for two million deaths per year (one death every ten seconds). Since the determination of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis (cause of TB) and Plasmodium falciparum(cause of malaria) genome sequences, several viable drug targets have been elucidated. This summer project will involve the synthesis of a small library of compounds that can be tested for their inhibitory properties against specific enzyme drug targets and against the causative agents of these infectious diseases. The goal of the project will be to develop a novel series of enzyme inhibitors that will serve as anti-tuberculosis and anti-malarial drug leads.

|Synthesis of glycopeptides as cancer vaccine and diagnostic candidates
Over 50% of all proteins in our bodies are glycosylated, however, a rational explanation of why nature expends so much energy to decorate our proteins with carbohydrates is largely unknown. In cancer cells there is a significant increase in the expression of a number of glycoproteins (glycosylated proteins), which is combined with incomplete carbohydrtate assembly. This aberrant glycosylation results in the exposure of additional peptide epitopes, which therefore become accessible to the immune system. The aim of this project will use a combination of solution and solid phase peptide synthesis to synthesise defined glycopeptide segments of a number of cancer-associated cell-surface glycoproteins (one target compound is shown below). The synthetic glycopeptides will be used to generate tumour-selective immunostimulating antigens followed by evaluation as cancer vaccines.

|Probing the cause of multiple sclerosis
There is growing evidence to support the hypotheses that the majority of neurodegenerative diseases may be initiated by a combination of pollutant-induced damage to neurons in the locus ceruleus (LC) and dietary factors, such as sugar intake. In the first ever study of this type, we undertook elemental maps from frozen brain sections of patients who had suffered multiple sclerosis to show at least 50% have Hg in specific neurons in the LC and all have a range of heavy metals. This project aims to use chemometrics to mine the information-rich images to learn more about how these metals and others, such as Fe and Cu may have contributed to the disease (Prof. Peter Lay and Dr Rachel Mak, in collaboration with Professor Roger Pamphlett, Brain and Mind Research Institute and Dr Joonsup Lee, Vibrational Spectroscopy Core Facility).
|Are microparticles released from cancer and normal cells key players in disease pathology?
Microparticles (MPs) are microvesicles within the size of 100 nm to one micron that contain RNA, DNA, proteins and lipids and are released from all human cells and function to control cell-cell signaling under normal conditions, however, under disease conditions the number and composition of microparticles released changes and these "disease microparticles" act like human viruses to infect and damage healthy cells or promote cancers. The aim of this project is to use biospectroscopies to probe differences in biochemical content in disease vs normal MPs and to examine how they change the biochemistry of target cells. (Prof. Peter Lay, and Dr Aviva Levina in collaboration with Drs Elizabeth Carter and Joonsup Lee, Vibrational Spectroscopy Core Facility, and Professors Georges Grau and Nick King, Pathology, School of Medical Sciences).
Fabrication of 3D printed optical fibre preforms
3D printing is revolutionizing the way we undertake manufacturing and research. Recently we recognized the potential of this technology to completely revolutionize optical fibre fabrication and we demonstrated the worlds first structured optical fibre drawing from a 3D printed preform. This project will continue with that, looking to optimise and characterise annealing of polymers for improving transmission.
|Fabrication of exotic filaments for 3D printing
3D printing is revolutionizing the way we undertake manufacturing and research. This project will examine the fabrication of filaments for 3D printing with customized dopants for specific applications aiming to expanding the reach of 3D printing technology.
|Smartphone sensors
This project will continue the pioneering work we have undertaken in developing smartphone based instrumentation and sensors. The detection of important biomedical and environmental species such as glucose, Zn and porphyrins will be explored depending on particular interests at the time with the students.
Light-activated MOFs for CO2 Capture
The development of more efficient processes for carbon dioxide (CO2) capture is considered a key to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions implicated in global warming. Highly porous three-dimensional solids known as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have enormous potential for use as CO2 capture materials. Recently, methodologies for the postsynthetic covalent functionalisation of MOFs have opened up fascinating prospects for building complexity into the pores. This project will involve the synthesis of materials as "photoswitchable molecular sieves" in which light can be used to modulate the size and polarity of the pores. The structural and physical characteristics of the materials will be interrogated using novel techniques to probe the light-activated gas permeation properties. The ultimate goal is the realisation of economically-viable materials which can be readily integrated into industrial platforms.
Selective detection of anions using peptide derived sensors
Anions are ubiquitous and they have major roles in a wide range of chemical, biological and environmental processes. The ability to discriminate between anions in real time will lead to many potential applications but particularly in medical diagnostics and devices. The aim of this project is to design sensors for a variety of target anions that are suitable for use in biological systems. This will involve the design and synthesis of a number of small peptide based anion receptors and subsequent measurement of their anion selectivity using numerous techniques (NMR, UV/Vis absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy).
Structure search for crystalline ground states
This project will develop a tool to computationally search for the minimum energy crystal structures of model atomic systems. Many computational models of liquids and glasses are widely used without ever identifying the relevant crystal structures for the model potential. A general method to identify these crystals will find wide application for this and other crystal-structure-prediction purposes. We have a method in mind, and some promising early results for you to expand on. The project will involve programming, so some experience would be beneficial.
Stimulus-Responsive Self-Assembly Structures (2 projects)
We are interested in stimulus-responsive molecules that have reversible self-assembly at nanometre length scales. Because the nanometre scale structure ultimately controls bulk properties, these materials can be used in applications that range from the controlled release of molecular drugs to the bulk viscosity modification of solutions. In these project you will prepare new, thermo- and pH-responsive surfactants using controlled radical polymerization, or co-assemble photo- and pH-responsive components into surfactant systems, and then characterize their self-assembly and response to external stimuli.
Device physics of organic solar cells
π-conjugated polymers (CPs) are proven to be cheap, easily processible and flexible alternatives to silicon for sustainable energy applications like organic solar cells. Similar to photosynthesis, CPs funnel the absorbed sunlight to a reaction centre creating opposite free charges – electrons (-ve) and holes (+ve). These free charges must be transported to the respective electrodes and extracted to yield a flow of current in a solar cell. However, these opposite charges can also recombine before reaching the electrodes due to Columbic attraction between them resulting in a loss of current. This tussle between charge transport and recombination influences the device efficiency drastically. In this project, you will perform numerical simulations to (1) understand device physics of an organic solar cell, and (2) figure out strategies to reduce charge recombination thereby providing design rules for highly efficient solar cells.
Probing structure-property relationships of conducting polymers
π-conjugated polymers (CPs), also known as conducting polymers, are large organic molecules with alternate single and double bond character that provide for their semiconducting properties. CPs are proven to be cheap, easily processible and flexible alternatives to silicon for sustainable energy applications like thin film solar cells and light emitting diodes. However, the optical and electronic properties of CPs depend strongly on the polymer structure organization within the film. Structure-property relationships in CPs are very complicated and not well understood. Circular Dichroism spectroscopy has been used to study molecular organization of chiral materials by measuring difference in absorbance of left- and right- circularly polarised light. In this project, you will experimentally study structure-property relationships of chiral analogues of CPs using Circular Dichroism spectroscopy and characterize their organization in thin films.
|Assembly of nanorods at interfaces for solar energy applications
Among the barriers to making solar cells cheaper and more efficient is the high energy cost of the crystalline silicon and vapor deposition methods commonly used today. One possible solution is to print solar cells using an ink of semiconducting nanoparticles. In this project you will explore how interfaces (fluid-fluid and liquid-solid) affect the self-assembly of nanorods using models that we have recently developed. This will yield design rules that can be used by experimental collaborators to make desired assemblies in the laboratory for testing in solar cells.

There are heartless crooks out there who can enter your private home uninvited, tear your home apart and steal everything they can carry. It happened to us. My husband and I are retired on a fixed income and live in a modest home. We do not have a lot of money, but we do treasure some of the things we inherited from our parents. Those things were taken — I'm sure by someone wanting a quick drug fix. They don't care that they also stole half of our wrapped Christmas gifts for our children.
I belong to a charity group called Assistance League of Southwest Washington. Our group of women works hard to try and make our community a better place, especially for children. Hopefully those children won't grow up to be thieves but will work for what they have.
Our parents survived the Great Depression and never stole a dime from someone else, and neither did we. We worked hard to make our retirement self-sufficient years and not rely on government help. We earned it all.
Do not trust that you will not get robbed. Be very careful, and if you have an alarm system, set it even if you're gone for a short time. We learned our lesson too late.

They started to become available as custom projects shortly after the War of Northern Aggression, and really started taking off by 1866-1868. Factories were turning out conversion cylinders as a standard item and gunsmiths made quite a good living converting existing revolvers to the newfangled cartridge configuration.
Remember, the Rollin-White patent was held by Smith and Wesson until 1869 and from 1866 to 1869, conversion manufacturers enjoyed a golden era of popularity.
Even after the expiration of the Rollin-White patent, conversions remained popular as ever, mainly because of the cost. An 1875 catalog lists a brand-new Colt 1873 SAA for $13.00. A Richard-Mason Colt conversion in .45LC or a similar Remington conversion costs roughly $6.00. During a time when the average hard working citizen made about $100.00 a year, that presents quite an option

Published by the "National Academy Press", Washington, D.C. 1999. I suspect these folks were charged with laying the ground work for NCLB. What they intended and what "IS" are as different as day and night. I can imagine, given a very loose intepretation of "intent", one could somehow imply that teacher behavior would be scrutinized. Mike Roberts (P/S This particular paper's 'Executive Summary' refutes many of the practices that are being employed by the various states in contemporary education. EXERPT (p.3): "Tests are not perfect. Test questions are a sample of possible questions that could be asked in a given area. Moreover, a test score is not an exact measure of a student's knowledge or skills. A student's score can be expected to vary across different versions of a test ... as a funtion of the particular sample of questions asked and/or transitory factors, such as the student's health on the day of the test.
