After giving him my information, he told me that I would be charged a one time processing fee of $149.00 if I didn't cancel the trip by July 06, 2005. Since it was June, I figured this wouldn't be a problem, since I was most likely to cancel the free trip anyway.
So I waited and waited for my package to arrive, and finally, it did, exactly on the sixth of July. My debit card (!) was immediately charged $149.00. I tried to get a hold of the company to complain and cancel the trip, but every time I called, I was put on hold for over 45 minutes, and sometimes, they'd close while I was still on the phone!
A few days later, I was checking my bank account online and noticed two other payments had been taken out of the account, one for Agents Travel Agency in the amount of $49.95 and the other for TeleFlex for $59.95. I immediately called the companies and found out that since I hadn't yet been able to cancel my trip with Florida Passports, they, as affiliates that I didn't even know existed within the Florida Passports company, took out processing fees.
Angry and embarrassed, I called the Florida Passports office again and this time, was able to get through. The woman on the line was extremely helpful and canceled the trip, promising a check in the amount of $149.00 to be sent out the following Monday.
However, the other companies were less helpful. For the refund on the TeleFlex company, I found out that I had to WRITE the company, asking for my money back. And the Agents Travel Agency wouldn't even pick up the phone.
It has now been over a month, and I still have not gotten any money back. This sort of behavior should not be allowed to go on. It is fraudulent and decietful and I am thoroughly ashamed that I allowed myself to be duped.

Awwwwsssssmeeee Game Man!!
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Well the series was coll and it was a great time waster but if you are looking for #2 go to coolbuddy and its there with the walkthrough but it was the most siple of the whole seires...
Rated 5 / 5 stars
truely amazing game great story line well written. Got cought up on a few puzzles checkjed the walkthrough and foudn out i had to hand the chess peices to the old guy. stupid mistake lol. Butjust excellant keep up the amazing work can't wait for the nest episode in the series.
Rated 4 / 5 stars
At this point in the series I'm mostly concerned with the plot, especially where it's heading. I enjoy these games because of their atmosphere and I'm glad to see that the developer is continuing the series.
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
I really like the style of these games, it looks pretty grand.
Anyway, the walkthrough is practically useless, because the places mentioned in it, are not the same as those in the actual game. Also, it's flawed to the point of being hard to understand at times. I still can't get past point 2 by following the walkthrough; I turned left at the mall (in the game, shopping center) went inside and grabbed the hazmat suit there... which was all there was, according to the walkthrough there should be a fishing line and a photo as well... I can't find that, and I can't finish the game without the fishing line.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
We organized a group of 11 people who travelled down to Savannah for the weekend. We purchased the Ghost Trolley Tour with Pirate House Tour & Dinner package. We were to be picked up and taken on a Ghost Tour then back to the Pirate House for a Pirate House Tour and then Dinner.
Here are the things that we experienced:
- On the day of the tour we spoke to two different people from Vacation Made Easy who gave us two different instructions on where to be picked up..
- We were finally told to meet at the Pirate House at 7PM where the tour bus driver (Yolanda) would pick us up.
- No one picked us up at 7pm as arranged.
- W called Vacation Made Easy and they told us they were "trying to find the driver".
- By 8:15 PM we had been on the phone back and forth with Vacation Made Easy several times.That's over an hour of waiting around.
- Vacation Made Easy told us that they will then try to get us the dinner first and they will see if we can do a tour afterwards. This was inconveninent because (a) our group had been waiting for over and hour and (b) we had other plans for later.
- Even though we had paid over $600.00 for this package - we ended up having to pay out-of-pocket for our dinner.
The customer service we received was terrible and it seemed as though while we were waiting around, they were finding reasons to justify their mistake instead of admiting that someone in the company had dropped the ball.
In the end, I had to force the issue to get a refund from them and go through the process of refunding everyone on the trip.
If this report stops just ONE GROUP of travelers from experiencing such a disappointment, then it is worth taking the time to write this.

Travel Porn: Oahu's Famous Haʻikū Stairs Are Dying A Slow Death
The hiking trail known as the Stairway to Heaven on the Hawaiian island of Oahu, also called the Haʻikū Stairs, is just that: a stairway to heaven on earth. I resent the word "breathtaking" (it's so sorely abused), but the vision of this trail really does warrant that label. It looks like some tropical fever dream, the most… More »

Here, I'm supposed to tell her the truth. I admire addicts. In a world where everybody is waiting for some blind, random disaster or some sudden disease, the addict has the comfort of knowing what will most likely wait for him down the road. He's taken some control over his ultimate fate, and his addiction keeps the cause of his death from being a total surprise.In a way, being an addict is very proactive.A good addiction takes the guesswork out of death. There is such a thing as planning your getaway.

The trick to forgetting the big picture is to look at everything close-up. The shortcut to closing a door is to bury yourself in details.
I felt like putting a bullet between the eyes of every Panda that wouldn't screw to save its species. I wanted to open the dump valves on oil tankers and smother all the French beaches I'd never see. I wanted to breathe smoke.
It's only after we've lost everything that we're free to do anything.
What I want is to be needed. What I need is to be indispensable to somebody. Who I need is somebody that will eat up all my free time, my ego, my attention. Somebody addicted to me. A mutual addiction.
All God does is watch us and kill us when we get boring. We must never, ever be boring.

Antoniou et al1 provide a very well-written article on the meta-analysis and meta-regression analysis of outcomes of carotid endarterectomy (CEA) and stenting in the elderly. The conclusions are what most of us have seen in randomized prospective studies, such as the recent publication of Carotid Revascularization Endarterectomy vs Stenting Trial (CREST).2 Carotid endarterectomy fared well within the elderly when one considers stroke, transient ischemic attack (TIA), or both. However, patients undergoing CEA had a higher mortality (0.5% vs 0.4%), but the clinical significance of such a difference is doubtful. Conversely, those elderly patients undergoing carotid stenting (CAS) had a higher incidence of stroke, TIA, or both, yet there was no significant difference in mortality between young and old patients. The incidence of myocardial infarction was significantly higher in those patients undergoing CEA (2.2% vs 1.4%). Also, elderly patients had an increased risk of myocardial infarction compared with younger patients. These conclusions are not startling and are consistent with what many of us have seen in our clinical practices. One thing somewhat unusual was that the rate of myocardial infarction was higher in the elderly undergoing CAS, which is not corroborated in CREST or other randomized studies.2- 4

Skip to comments.MSM Shuns Additional Reporting on Edwards Scandal
Posted on 08/13/2008 5:53:35 AM PDT by PJ-Comix
Despite the many mea culpas by the mainstream media about their failure to report on the John Edwards scandal in the wake of Edwards' admission of an affair with his mistress last Friday, they continue to make the same errors as before. Following an initial flurry of reporting about what Edwards said on ABC's Nightline and some analysis of the scandal, the MSM still continues to leave the bulk of the investigative reporting to both the National Enquirer and the blogosphere.
(Excerpt) Read more at newsbusters.org ...
A series piece? I didn't know you did that. IB4TP or other posts. =)
Check the web carefully and you will even find that I have written on medical and historical topics such as an analysis of the blood of the horseshoe crab and the history of pizza.
Personally, I don't see the need for 'additional reporting.' Edwards isn't running for anything, and the story has been told already.
I'd much rather see the conservative news sites forget about the Edwards story and concentrate more on getting the word out about Obama's record and positions.
super serial?
The "scandal" has evolved from a plain old sex scandal to a misuse of campaign funds scandal..............which is a CRIME, punishable by LAW.................
I agree. This article nails it.
Wait until the Silky Pony-Rielle sex tape hits You Tube!
I think Edwards should be hammered more. Seriously, what kind of vetting job did the MSM do with this guy? Only up until months ago this guy was STILL RUNNING for President. And he WAS considered for VP or AG up until this story broke.
I think at this point, the news is the misappropriation of campaign funds and the investigation into that. It needs to happen. When a candidate can give his mistress campaign funds to have quickie's available, he needs to be investigated.
Vetting? From the MSM? On a Liberal Democrat?..........you've gotta be kidding...............
YEah, the vetting with the same vigor and detail they did with Eliot Spitzer.
I have NO idea why I didn't think of that. I mean, if they have fotos of Shiite Head hold the baby...why not?
This just keeps getting better and better.
Make sure you click 'previous pages' at the bottom. They skewer Bill too.
Well there were the Olympics, and Russia invading Georgia, and the Olympics, and Bernie Mac died, and Isaac Hayes died, and it broke after Rush' show on Friday afternoon and there was a weekend and besides it raised too many questions about why the media blacked out the story in the first place.
Obama's position is that he was considering a role for Edwards in his administration and again many DUmmycrats believed a lying Democrat up to the moment he said "I lied".
Until that moment comes, we hear it is the well funded campaign of a Vast Right Wing Conspiracy.
They never apologize to the so called conspiracy members.
I see a slight resemblance.
Thanks for the links. Great site. Lots of questions raised for the propagandists to pursue. /sarcasm
In the ABC news clip John Edwards tips his pre-meditated mind when he utters..."same answer" before saying "no".
Blinkey the Clown is quite a piece of work.
Were Mr. Edwards a Republican you could bet the farm some prosecutor or senate committee would be investigating further.
Mr. Edwards seriously doesn't want this to go to court where he has to be honest or face real jail time.
Also for what it is worth I just a day or so ago read a story where it made plain the Edwards played fast and loose all along with his charities and campaigns.
He also has decided against his college scholarship programs once he is out of the race.
And the democrats are shocked that he didn't really mean it. I think I saw it on here on those DUmmies post or whatever that is. I like those, they are funny.
I can't go to DU, they drive me crazy. I don't mind the PUMA sites and it's resourceful for us because of what they drag up on Obama. But democratic underground or whatever is just full of crazy people.

Yes, I'm being sarcastic. But unfortunately, I'm also being truthful. This situation exists now at Vegas's Willow Creek at San Martin, run by Donald Herman. Don Herman and Donald Herman are the same. Herman has a construction company, and he's also the principle owner at Willow Creek at San Martin, an assisted living facility. And one of his construction workers, a registered sex offender, has access throughout the facility to perform maintenance. And this registered sex offender also has been seen handling high-powered guns at Donald Herman's residences.
I've seen others refer to Donald Herman and Willow Creek as a ticking time bomb. They've got it exactly right. This is a potentially deadly arrangement. When will we get someone with authority looking into this situation? After something happens? When it's too late? It's not too late yet. I'm raising the red flag on Donald Herman and Willow Creek at San Martin.

Smart as a Duck
Is a duckling capable of abstract thought?
Somehow this story of true intelligence got buried beneath the convention news.
According to authors in the journal Science, experiments demonstrate the ability of newly hatched duckling to distinguish the concepts "same" and "different."
Previously, the authors note, "pigeons and bees can be trained to discriminate whether novel images contain humans or not, or whether novel paintings are by Monet or Picasso." Such discrimination requires extensive training between specific patterns–the pattern of a "human" shape, versus other; or the patterns of Monet versus Picasso. The discrimination of paintings does not imply artistic talent; in fact, the animals might be observing something trivial, such as the color scheme or size of objects depicted. These previous findings all required concrete objects to discriminate.
But can we demonstrate learning of an abstract concept?
Authors Antone Martinho III and Alex Kacelnik, of the Oxford Zoology department, claim to have done just that. They made ingenious use of a powerful memory tool: the imprinting of birds on their parent. Imprinting has long been demonstrated as an introductory lab in biology. The student waits for a duck egg to hatch; then the first thing the hatchling sees or hears is the student. Forever after, the hatchling follows the student as if they were its mother.
If ducklings can imprint upon a human student, what about inanimate objects? Or even an abstract concept?
In the experiment, newly hatched ducklings were exposed to pairs of objects.
In some cases, the hatchlings were exposed to pairs of objects that were identical. Other hatchlings were presented with pairs of objects that differed in shape or color.
After exposure, the hatchlings were then presented with a pair of objects of a different kind (balls versus cones). But two kinds of presentation were done: of two different objects, or two identical objects. For example, a duck was imprinted on "two spheres", then tested on "two cones" (identical) or on "cube plus tower" (different). The duck's preference was then measured by the number of times it stepped toward the object pair. Even though the new objects were of a different kind, the ducks still preferred (stepped toward) an identical pair, if it had imprinted on an identical pair; or a dissimilar pair, if it had imprinted on a dissimilar pair. The experiment worked either for shape or color.
When picked up by the canonical alien abductors, I wonder how many of us humans could pass this test.
Peacock Spiders Revisited
For something more cheerful, here's a return of the Peacock Spider. Apparently seven new species of peacock spider have been discovered in Australia. The discovery was reported in the journal Peckhamia–a journal devoted to the biology of jumping spiders. Clearly a sign of the growing overproliferation of specialty journal, but in this case we can't complain too much.
The Peckham society is a treasure trove of fascinating and diverse spider behavior, such as this one feasting on a fellow spider. Not the same species, so it doesn't count as cannibalism (unless you're a cannibal for eating a cow.)
And for the truly insatiable spider enthusiast, check out the Peckham's video collection. To think that all this variety represents one small branch of the arachnid tree–It's enough to give some hope for Earth's biological world.
Oceans Rise or Fall?
Beach time of year, as good a time as any to wonder how fast the ocean is rising. In the long run, we're locked into several feet of rise in the next century, possibly more if Antarctic glaciers accelerate.
This great figure from Discover Magazine shows how undersea "rivers" are undermining the ice shelves, accelerating their fall in unpredictable ways.
But in the near term, the ocean's movements look surprisingly complex–giving naysayers excuses to deny the problem. For instance, the sea levels right around Antarctica will actually fall, relative to the Antarctic land mass. This happens because the mass of ice will be gone, and thus there will be less gravitational pull on the water. In addition, the land will "spring up" slightly, like the couch cushion when you get up for a snack. The net result, though, is water rising faster in farther off places like Florida and New York.
Another place ocean levels are falling is west of Mexico. The reason is weather patterns, a cyclical pattern called the Pacific Decadal Oscillation. This pattern, which takes higher math to understand, results in a decade of cooler water in the Pacific, which means denser water and lower sea level. Of course in the following period, the sea will rise double, making up for lost time.
A good reason to think about solar airplanes for your next vacation.
Running Grows the Brain
It is old news that exercise improves the brain–at any age, from children who walk to school, to the elderly who garden. Prolonged exercise, as in running, is what we evolved to do. Running–and the intellect involved to track down animals–led early humans into a unique form of hunting, one that required memory and calculation. But what is the physiological connection? How do the heart and skeletal muscles affect the brain?
Now, researchers are beginning to figure out the molecular basis: What specific genes and proteins do the job. It took a collection of scientists from Lebanon to NYU and Harvard to come up with this alphabet soup of a project, "Exercise promotes the expression of brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) through the action of the ketone body β-hydroxybutyrate."
The researchers set mice to running on their proverbial running wheels. After thirty days running, compared with slacker mice, the runners showed increased amounts of a brain protein called BDNF. BDNF is a protein that encourages nerves to grow; a member of the same family as nerve growth factor, the protein discovered by the famous Nobel laureate Rita Levi-Montalcini (who makes an appearance in The Highest Frontier). BDNF helps maintain synapses and grows new ones in the hippocampus, cortex and forebrain; basically everywhere needed for higher function.
So what is the molecular mechanism? The authors proposed and tested a form of "epigenetics," a mechanism by which environmental experience alters chemical tags attached to the neurons's DNA, or to histone proteins associated with the DNA. Epigenetic markers involve enzymes called histone deacetylases (HDAC). The HDAC removes an acetyl group from a histone, a binding protein that helps "pack" DNA and determines whether its gene gets transcribed to RNA. Here, DNA is wrapped two turns around a core of eight histones (colored).
The authors did experiments that showed that inhibitors of HDAC proteins (specifically HDAC2 and HDAC3) could prevent the histone deacetylation, leaving the DNA wrapped around histones marked with acetyl groups. Acetyl groups usually code for "go ahead" and transcribe a gene. So now the gene encoding BDNF goes ahead and gets transcribed to RNA, which then gets translated by ribosomes to make BDNF protein.
What all does this have to do with mice on their running wheels? The running mice make extra ketone bodies such as D-β-hydroxybutyrate (DBHB). Ketone bodies get made by your liver after intense exercise uses up carbohydrates. Excess ketone bodies can cause problems, but as a short-term response to exercise they supercharge the brain. In particular, DBHB blocks production of HDAC2 and HDAC3 (that is what the cross-blocked vertical lines mean, in the diagram above). Since DBHB blocks the HDACs, and the HDACs block expression of BDNF, the net result is that ketone bodies induce BDNF which enhances neurons and makes more synapses.
Start running.
Lost City Of–Microbes
Atlantis of ancient ruins? Not so fast. What divers thought was an ancient Greek metropolis was actually an outgrowth of microbes. The microbes are stated to be methanogens (archaea that convert carbon dioxide and hydrogen into methane) but I think actually they are methane oxidizers. At the bottom of the ocean, methane often arises at cold seeps, places where petroleum components and minerals seep up from subsurface volcanic activity. The minerals get oxidized by bacteria, and carbonates precipitate into odd formations.
Our Gulf of Mexico is full of cold seeps, where the methane gets oxidized by sulfate bacteria, as indicated by isotope ratios. Some of the sulfate bacteria then inhabit clams that may lose their feeding ability. The reduced sulfate can then be oxidized to sulfides within symbiotic worms. Green dots show fluorescently labeled bacteria oxidizing sulfides within the worm. The size bar is 0.02 millimeters.
So indeed, there is a complex intricately cooperative civilization–of microbes. Meanwhile, carbonates precipitate with magnesium ion, forming dolomite. The dolomite formations date to several million years ago–even more ancient than the Greeks. As the authors state, "Exposure on the modern seabed in the shallow subtidal zone has caused confusion, as concretion morphology resembles archaeological stonework of the Hellenic period."
Artificial Human
Buried beneath reality show headlines, the NYT breathlessly informs us, "Scientists Talk Privately" about something. To wit, a group at Harvard has a secret meeting to plan to "create" an entire set of human chromosomes. Could this really be it–an Artificial Person? Without (gasp!) biological parents?
Like a rather bad Heinlein novel, there are enough contradictions to go around.
First of all, what's so unique about making a human genome–something trillions of our own body cells do every day? The NYT informs us, the scientists will "use chemicals to manufacture all the DNA." Mm-hm. So my own cells are made of what, if not chemicals? Cosmic ray particles, maybe?
What we call "chemicals" presumably means bulk processed petrochemical products stored in 1-kilo bottles obtained from Sigma-Aldrich or Thermo-Fisher. And "manufacture" means a concrete-slab factory, where mostly male persons "fabricate" things, as opposed to a bit of meat within a female that uses its own DNA copying enzymes.
But suppose, continues NYT, we could "use a synthetic genome to create human beings without biological parents?"
Project leader George Church (who started out as a bacterial molecular biologist) assures us we've got it wrong. "They're painting a picture which I don't think represents the project," Church observes. The project is "not aimed at creating people, just cells." Again, this claim represents a surprisingly parochial view of what constitutes the "natural" human reproductive process. We can argue endlessly over whether a fertilized egg or embryo constitutes a human being, but there can be no doubt that most of our bodies at some point developed from a single cell that became a few more cells.
The technology exists to replace the nucleus of an egg cell with a new nucleus. Could a "synthetic" set of human chromosomes replace the chromosomes of an egg cell? What about a skin cell transformed into an egg, something also near possibility?
Of course, no article about artificial human life is going to get away without mentioning Einstein. The crowning awful possibility: "Would it be O.K., for example, to sequence and then synthesize Einstein's genome? If so how many Einstein genomes should be made and installed in cells, and who would get to make them?"
Please–Enough already Einstein. Myself, I'd rather recreate Mileva Marić, the physicist whom Einstein got pregnant and married, and who probably co-created his most famous works.
So why create a synthetic human genome? We don't know, given the "secret" nature of the Harvard meeting, but let's give them a break and assume they just want a more efficient way to "construct" a genome out of various parts and see what it does in a cell. Cell culture is a lot more efficient than running after mini-humans (mice), as some of my students can attest. Nevertheless, we approach ever nearer the day when any skin cell could become a human.

Sharers of Hawaii Make Super Corals
In A Door into Ocean, the Sharers tend their entire planet, lifeshaping each apparently wild form of life to restore balance. The corals on the floating trees get helpful microbes, while the seaswallowers get lifeshaped (engineered) to resist the invaders' poisons. Is that where we're headed? Already our wilderness managers radio-tag every vertebrate in sight, monitoring populations like a zoo. But Hawaiian biologists are going one step farther: actively breeding corals to withstand global warming, the climate change now inevitable. Unnatural selection? Perhaps, but perhaps better than no corals left?
Ruth Gates and Madelein Van Oppen are trying just that. Gates noted some exceptionally hardy corals in Hawaii that seemed to withstand heat and acid, the two big causes of coral death. She and Van Oppen obtained grants from Paul Allen's Ocean Challenge program. Their mission: to build Super Corals for the Future.
After a massive coral bleaching episode, Gates found regions where occasional corals bloomed surrounded by dead ones. Even the survivors' symbiotic algae were okay. So now she propagates these survivors, and investigates their genes, trying to find out how to make corals hardier.
Does the Super Coral project represent future promise, or only vain hopes? Coral grows slowly; it's hard to see how a few engineered polyps could propagate throughout the ocean. Rising temperatures and falling pH are happening so fast, faster than ever recorded in Earth's history. Mitigation projects should not lull us into thinking we can ignore a rate of change that will eventually boil our planet. But perhaps on the way, we might save a few corals. Gates says, "Our project is acknowledging that a future is coming where nature is no longer fully natural."
Surprisingly, we find corals even in regions where biologists had thought their growth impossible. Most recently the muddy mouth of the Amazon was shown to host corals, along with sea fans, fish, and sponges. Considering how much traffic the Amazon gets, we biologists might be surprised and just a bit embarrassed to have overlooked such riches. Surely it's worth the investment to see how much life we can save, while the world's populations make their leaders keep the world worth saving.
