Ok so I have been wanting a booty forrrreeeevvvvaaa.All the women in my family have ass and unfortunately it skipped me(Sigh).I have decided that 2016 is going to be the year I make myself happy seeing as I'm always trying to make everyone happy.I recently had a baby girl Sept "15" and she sucked away what lil butt I did have back there.So now it's just unflattering.While doing enough research I came across Dr.Baez and loved her work.I originally wanted Lipo...breast lift..BBL but Dr. Baez recommended I get a TT. I reached out to her via What's App and she quickly responded rather quickly.She quoted me $5800 for a TT..lift..Lipo..BBL if my hemo was at good standing. Since the TT is extensive I'm going to wait till later this yr or next year for my Breast lift.My TT..Lipo..BBL is $3900. I don't want a small waist just a smooth curvy look with a BIG BOOTAY lol.I am currently waiting to schedule my date. I want to go late April? I am researching Highclassrecovery and Paradise recovery houses.Does anyone have any recommendations . I also could use a SX buddy who is going to the DR late April.
28 Year Old..2Kids..TT/Lipo/BBL with Dr.Baez April/2016 - Dominican Republic
Ok so I have been wanting a booty...
My Wish Pics...
Everybody wants to look how they want...I want to be SHAPELY THICK LOL if that's even a word.
I WANT TO BE IN A SAFE ...SECURE AND CLEAN ENVIRONMENT...I ALSO WANT GOOD FOOD...FRIENDLY STAFF..AND NURSES AVAILABLE...I AM A BIG BABY SO I PRETTY MUCH NEED TO FEEL LIKE MY GRANNY IS TAKING CARE OF ME (don't judge me lol)
Feeling a Little Discouraged
Ok So the ball was rolling when I was in contact with Baez a couple days ago but for the last 2days Ive been contacting her and haven't heard anything..I want to secure my April date.I can go in May(more obstacles) push come to shove but Id prefer April..Unfortunately I have no support from family about wanting to do this...Seems like people will fake support or encorage you but when you finally start taking the steps then no support AT ALL.. So I'm pretty much on my own.. I know doing this will make me happy about myself since lately I've been having image issues.
I really want my boobs done BL
At first I had planned on getting Lipo instead of TT but Baez said TT.Like Ive seen some lipo procedures look like they had a TT..I just feel like everything else gonna be together and my titts are going to be blah...Is there anyone that got the lipo instead of TT?..Are you happy with your results or do u wish you would've got the TT? Im also thinking about lip fillers so I can get my Kylie Jenner on lol
Sending Deposit to Baez
Hey Past /Future Baez Dolls when sending your deposit did you send to Bolivar Avenue 208 Santo Domingo DR? I'm just confirming cause I'm sending my deposit in the A.M. and Baez hasn't responded yet.
I have decided to go with High Class Recovery RH...Wendy the owner is great and Informative..I will be staying there 11days. Where are my late April Baez dolls???? I will be there from April 27th-May 7..SX buddy needed .
Lip Fillers!!!
I will also be getting Lip Fillers while in the Dr.I was referred to a Licensed Esthecian Manuel Valerio who also will come to your recovery house..He quoted me $350.So any Ladies wanting to plump those lips to match that big Boootayy hit him up.
Hello Ladies I have heard and done some research on the pre op vitamins..I found out that when taking the B12 its better to get the dissolvable ones instead of the plain pills..Apparently the dissolvable ones are absorbed better in your body when placed under your tongue. They have flavorred ones so no nasty taste.
I got me a countdown App...I've become obsessed with my SX.Like Besides my kids and saving my money its the only other thing I'm worried about.
Traveling Securely
I found this Mimi safe on sale at Amazon .Go way to keep your belongings safe/secure in the DR.I also purchased a travel fanny pack to put my drains in when I go to my post op appts.And I got a pouch to carry my passport ..cash/cell undermy clothes since I'm not bringing a purse
I need panty suggestions...I was curious did anyone buy disposable underwear instead of cotton panties..It just makes more since to use disposable instead of brand new ones that are going to get soiled up...I need input!!!
Flight Booked
So after waiting around to purchase my flight the price went up so I hurry up and booked to prevent any more price increase .I purchased my flight via JetBlue for 493.00 along with wheel chair assistance . So now that I got that out the way I'm looking for a Sugar Daddy who Don't want no suga to pay my Credit card off LOL..
Now that I'm getting my TT,Lipo,BBL..I really wanna get my BL.I was considering waiting till the end of this yr or next yr for my 30th bday.But idk if I wanna wait that long..I just feel like not getting everything will be like having KoolAid but with NO Sugar...They say go Big or go Home but Im confused.Uggghhh I need help from my RS Sistas..Has anyone done everything at once?
I might have to cancel my SX!!!! I'm literally in TEARS...So I get a text at 4 in the morning from my sons dad saying He won't be able to keep my son while I'm out of town for SX...I told him i was going out of town for work.This asshole is spiteful cause I won't take him off child support..Now mind u he owes me over $2500 in back pay and Ive been more than patient with him...Then has the nerve to ask me can I take him off cause he can't get a passport to go to his friend bachelor party cause he owes child support..Umm No...That money u spending to go out the country you should be giving me for your child...I am just livid right now...This is the only time I can go...I gotta think of something fast!!! Pray for me yall
Immmm Baccccck!!!!
Countdown to SX continues...The devil was trying to get me down ...But you see the way my GOD works he wasn't having it AT ALL!!!

Ok Ladies so the time has come...OPERATION SNATCH IN EFFECT!!! I am currently waiting at The airport to board my flight... Apparently there is some delay in NYC so I'm waiting until they give us the ok to board... My flight arrives to Santo Domingo at 340 am. According to Wendy from High Class Baez wants me at the clinic at 530 am ....Seee I told y'all she was waiting for meLOL ..Cause I definitely bugged her enough throughout this whole process..I can't believe this is finally happening...ok so PSA please make sure you bring a big enough carry on because your suitcase CANT NOT BE OVER 50lbs.. My bag was 57 lbs and I brought a small carry on so I'm lugging a lot of shit lol but other than that everything else was good... I'll keep u ladies posted!!!
Update Part 1
OK so today I went to have my lab work done. I arrived at the clinic at 5:30 AM by my driver Manny with high class I was the first patient to get to the clinic once I filled that the required paperwork. I ran into my roomie JiggaDaChicaJigga at the clinic we were so happy to see each other.I was then taken to a room and told to wait for Baez. In the process I ended up falling asleep.. I was awaken by Baez and I kid u not when I opened my eyes I swear I saw a Ora around her like she was heaven sent. (Crazy I know) But she is just the sweetest person EVER!!! She hugged me like a mother hugs her child and I instantly knew I made the right choice..She asked me about my flight and etc.. But unfortunately I was told that since I just flew in I would have to wait to have SX to prevent clots... BUMMER... But she said I would be her first patient in the morning and to be at the clinic at 5:30am. I was then told to wait in the lobby for my lab work.I did wait a little while (nothing unbearable) and her assistant Manuel came and got me.Manuel who is also very nice took me to her office a did a medical history etc on me. Once that was done the labs where next..Blood work... xRay... Now I will tell u this the cardiologist is very sweet also but a low key freak LOL... When he was preparing me for the test he I strapped my bra with one hand in like 10secs(OMG) talking about his mom taught him that ... I just couldn't stop laughing that this old man unstrapped a bra that damn quick.So once everything was complete My driver Manny came to pick me up. We picked up some other girls who had SX and all went back to High Class..Once I got to HighClass I was waiting on my room to get ready and they fed me (Food was very good) Nurses are very nice and welcoming.Wendy the owner was not here since she had to have a procedure done but she made sure I was taking care of and she stayed in contact with me.. So here is where it gets a little UPSETTING I was enjoying my delicious dinner when I got a message from Baez saying everything is good but hemo is only 11.2 WTF all this iron I've been taking ain't did ish ... Not sure if my flight might've effected my levels or my diet I was on ....But she said No SX tomorrow I need to see a hematologist and get iron transfusions first... Ughhhhhhh....So Wendy spoke with the hematologist and got me scheduled for tomorrow... She has been a great lifesaver so far ..I can say that some of my SX SISTAS have uplifted me today cause I instantly wanted to cry but I'm not giving up!!! I also just started a SX page on IG GO ADD ME BAEZMUSE4_16
Update Part 2
Sooooo after a looonnngggg ass 6 days of crying everyday and starting my period not to mention Iron infusions and a blood transfusion.And spending a lot of extra money ... I FINALLY WILL HAVE SX TOMORROW...Thank u Jesus... Cause I was gone the whole damn DR up if my labs didn't clear.. All Smiles :)
Update Part 2
This pain/pressure is a bitch! But I made it to the snatched side. Got back to High class Wednesday from my overnight stay at the hospital.. Ok so I went to the clinic at 530 am and waited for Baez..One of the nurses came and got me and another girl who was having SX with Baez also..We both are staying at the same RH.. She took us to separate rooms to prepare for surgery..Baez instructed me I would go first since I had been waiting to have SX dude to hemo issues..They stated IV and put me in a wheelchair to surgery.. I was nervous I cried a little..They started to put epidural in my back and once I laid down I was out...I did wake up 2xs during SX . One time she was lipo'n my back It hurted a lil only cause Epi only partially work on me.. They gave me some more meds and I went back to sleep... I woke up again and she was holding a piece of my stomach in her had..She said look mami no more flap. I went back to sleep and woke up in my faja.. That shit was super tight I could barely breath.. Baez came in my room later that night and asked if I wanted her to loosen muscle repair I said no.. She and another doctor loosened up my faja and I was finally able to breath regularly ..Oh and I almost forgot a overnight nurse at the hospital is MANDATORY... Because u will not be able to care for yourself.. I had my first massage today and I tell u it's a love hate relationship.. I hate not being able to do things on my own.. This whole time process is teaching me patience..I will update more when I can..Xoxo

Baez did give me a clearance letter but my airline (Jet Blue) did not require it..

Lance Armstrong: USADA abusing its powers
Lance Armstrong vigorously attacked the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency Friday in response to allegations that he used performance-enhancing drugs during his seven consecutive Tour de France victories. He accused USADA of violating its own rules and federal law during its investigation.
In the letter, Armstrong's lawyer, Robert D. Luskin, called the allegations "stale" and "disproved long ago." He said the allegations were "offensive to any notions of due process and fair play."
The letter, obtained by USA TODAY Sports, also stated that "USADA's overly expansive view of its own authority — not to mention smug self-regard — undoubtedly explains its threadbare charging document, its arrogant and craven refusal to disclose its evidence, and its complacent expectation that the Review Board will not hold it accountable."
MORE: Armstrong's letter to USADA review board
MORE: Armstrong's former manager will skip Tour de France
Armstrong's letter also criticizes USADA for failing to provide information on the 10 witnesses who provided first-hand accounts of the doping allegations. The letter contends the agency pursued "unlawful tactics and questionable practices in its zeal to punish Mr. Armstrong at all costs."
In a statement released Friday, USADA CEO Travis Tygart said, "We follow established procedures that were approved by athletes, the U.S. Olympic Committee and all Olympic sports organizations," adding the rules provided full due process and were designed to get to the truth.
USADA informed Armstrong on June 12 that it planned to bring charges against him. Armstrong's response was due Friday. Next, the case will be sent to a USADA review panel to determine whether there's enough evidence to warrant formal charges.
If it does move forward, Armstrong could find himself before an arbitration panel to decide the matter by November. If found guilty, Armstrong could be stripped of his Tour titles.
USADA also accused his longtime manager, Johan Bruyneel, of giving riders or encouraging them to use banned performance-enhancing substances, including the blood-booster EPO, blood transfusions, steroids, human growth hormone and masking agents from 1999 to 2007. Armstrong and Bruyneel have maintained their innocence.
Bruyneel announced Friday that he would withdraw from this summer's Tour de France.
"It is unfortunate that these latest, unfounded accusations have resulted in my withdrawal from the Tour, although I hope to prove my innocence and resolve this matter soon and once and for all," Bruyneel said in a statement Friday.
According to USADA's June 12 letter announcing the charges, numerous riders from Bruyneel's teams will testify he either gave them performance-enhancing drugs or encouraged them to use them.

im looking to go there or somehwere in california for college. they both got sweet surf, and to be honest i want to go to cali more but my grades aren't the best, so hawaii looks easier to get into. anyone been tehre or know anything of the college ?
Results 1 to 10 of 11
Thread: university of hawaii ?
Hybrid View
university of hawaii ?
don't know anything about the school but I would say if you have the chance to go there then take it. I went to UNCW and wish I had gone further... Cali or hawaii would make for siiick memories...
the party scene at university of Hawaii blows cock and the school has no hot chicks and also everybody is as dumb as a rock there
and if u wanna get into a cali school from out of state u gotta give the dean of admissions a blumpkin
DON'T go to University of Hawaii-- It's a total commuter school-- 55% of students commute from home.
THe University of California school system is so freaking hard to get in to out of state. I'm looking to appply to UC Irvine, SD, and SB. The GPA to get accepted to SB (the easiest of the three) is around a 3.9 AND THAT'S UNWEIGHTED. UC does not weigh honors classes outside of the state of california, and they only look at your soph and junior grades.
Basically, that sucks for me because I took all honors last year (no AP classes were available soph year) and I got B and B- for a bunch of my classes because they were super high level classes. This year, I've taken more regular classes and I've gotten my unweighted GPA up some as I got straight A's first semester this year. However, I calculated my unweighted GPA and it is between a 3.6 and 3.7 (I don't know exactly which classes they take into account).
Dude, basically if you're not a really good student out of state, it will be VERY hard to get into the UC system. That's why I'm looking at Cal Poly- it's a bit easier and they have what I'm looking for. Plus, Cal Poly has a whole factory where you can learn how to shape boards. Already know how to shape boards? Just take an easy test and you can use their facilities and equipment for shaping, and they order the blanks for you. It's frickin siiiiiiiiick. If I go there, I wont bring any boards from the east coast because it will probably be cheaper to just make the boards there than have to bring my own boards! hahahahhaa
^^ haha, if it's so hard to get into Cali do this:
After high school move to Cali and get a job where you pay taxes and attend community college
After 1 year claim residency
Then if your grades are good you are a Cali resident transferring in from a local community college
You get in easy and you pay in-state tuition.
Not sure how easy it is to get residency but this is what I wish I did for UNCW. Would have saved like $100K.

About the Book
Three old friends—one Scot, one American and one Norwegian—meet in Lerwick, Shetland, and spend a week exploring and photographing the islands. Then, after a few days on Orkney, they spend a week on Lewis and Harris in the Outer Hebrides. The text and photographs aim to capture the rugged coastlines, the moody ancient ruins, the austere towns, the soft but rocky landscapes, the animals that live there, the quirky eccentricities of each place, the enduring traditions, the horizontal rain, and the tangy smell of peat-fire smoke.

OPELIKA, Ala. — Authorities say a 49-year-old woman was killed Thursday when the car she was driving crashed on Interstate 85 in Opelika.
Lee County Coroner Bill Harris pronounced Terrie Cherie Reed of LaFayette, Ala., dead of multiple injuries after the one-car wreck.
The Columbus Ledger-Enquirer reports (http://bit.ly/1eibo1y) that Reed was heading north around 10:37 a.m. Thursday, when the 1995 Chevy Lumina left the highway and overturned.

Cherry picking is a logical fallacy where only evidence that supports a conclusion is presented and evidence that goes against that conclusion is overlooked. Cherry-picking is used very frequently by People involved in Politics. Left Wing and Right Wing people tend to use evidence that supports their cause and overlook what doesn't suit them. [1]
Notable examples Edit
Conservatives point to small numbers of people who succeeded despite a Poor background. Conservatives then try and pretend other poor people are at fault because other poor people didn't escape poverty the way the minority did. This overlooks:
- how much easier it is for Rich kids with an expensive Education to succeed.
- how much harder it is for poor kids with worse Education to succeed.
Racists point out failing among people of ethnicity they look down on. (Usually these failings are imagined but there can be real problems with individuals or with some cultures.) When racists approve of an ethnicity failings in that ethnicity are overlooked.
- ↑ If you want to know how Liberals are Subjective you need to look elsewhere.

Product and Software: This article applies to all Aruba APs and AirWave versions.
When using AMP to poll SNMP devices (APs) in your network, consider the SNMP Timeout. The default value in AMP is 3 seconds, which means that the AMP server polls all devices and waits 3 seconds for a response. If no response is received in 3 seconds, the server retries the request.
In a large Aruba network (>200 APs), this default value could cause a significant spike in traffic and CPU load on your Aruba controller. Consider changing the SNMP Timeout setting to 30 seconds to allow the multiple devices a chance to respond. The longer time also will reduce the amount of SNMP traffic going through your wireless network.
To set the SNMP Timeout value in AirWave, navigate to Device Setup > Communication > SNMP Settings.

Analysis of the role of the NUC1 endo/exonuclease in yeast mitochondrial DNA recombination
- Received:
- Citations
- 72 Downloads
Mitochondrial DNA recombination was reduced in an yeast mutant lacking the NUC1 endo/exonuclease. Between linked markers in either the ω or cob region the frequency of recombination decreased nearly 50% compared to wild-type. Gene conversion frequencies in the var1 gene and in the ω region were also lower in the mutant strain. In particular, the gradient of gene conversion at ω was most affected by the absence of the NUC1 nuclease. In crosses between nuclease-deficient and wild-type strains, gene conversion frequencies at ω were reduced only when the ω+ allele was contributed to the zygote by the nuclease-deficient parent. We propose that the 5′ exonuclease activity of the NUC1 nuclease functions during recombination to enlarge heteroduplex tracts following a double-strand break in DNA. In crosses between nuclease-deficient and wild-type strains, the anisotropy in gene conversion frequencies at ω is hypothesized to be due to the slow mixing of parental motochondrial membranes as they fuse in the zygote.

The inhibitory effect against collagen-induced arthritis by
A long-term existing schistosome infection can aid in maintaining immuno-homeostasis, thus providing protection against various types of autoimmune diseases to the infected host. Such benefits have often been associated with acute or egg stage infection and with the egg-induced Th2 response. However, since schistosome infection undergoes different stages, each associated with a specific induction of Th responses, the requirements for the ability of the different stages of schistosome infection to protect against autoimmune disease has not been elucidated. The present study was designed to study whether different stages of schistosome infection offer unique protection in collagen-induced arthritis and its mechanisms.
Arthritis susceptible strain DBA/1 male mice were infected with
The protective effect against collagen-induced arthritis provided by
The increased incidences of autoimmune diseases and atopic diseases found in developed countries
Worm-like metazoan organisms so called 'helminth', including both nematoda (round worms) and platyhelminthes (flatworms), have been recognized as important infectious agents that can elicit beneficial effects to the infected host in terms of conferring resistance to atopy or autoimmune diseases. As a representative genus in parasitic platyhelminthes, schistosome or exposure to schistosome derived antigens have been found to offer protection to a range of autoimmune disorders in experimental animal models including type 1 diabetes in nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice
The immune response elicited by
Majority of animal studies have found that the protective effects against immune-mediated disorders provided by schistosome infection appeared to be associated with Th2 immune response induced at egg-stage or acute stage of infection. Only one study done by Osade
In this study, we selected either a 2 or 7 weeks
The protective effects against arthritis were only observed when a pre-established Sj infection entered acute stage; whereas an early stage of Sj infection exacerbated the arthritis
As shown in Fig.
Figure 1
IL-4 production is elevated in 7 to 10 weeks Sj infected DBA/1 mice
IL-4 production is elevated in 7 to 10 weeks Sj infected DBA/1 mice. Splenocytes from DBA/1 mice infected with Sj either for 2 weeks or 7 to 10 weeks or not infected (CTRL) were stimulated by anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 antibodies for 72 hours in vitro. The supernatants were analyzed for IL-4 (A) and IFN-g (B). Shown are the combined results from two separate experiments. Significance was tested by one-way ANOVA with Bonferroni multiple comparison test with *** and ** as p < 0.001 and p < 0.01.
Arthritis was induced by application of collagen in complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA) followed by incomplete Freund's adjuvant (IFA) 21 days after first CII injection. Similar as reported

Anti-CII IgG and IgG2a levels were reduced in protected mice
Anti-CII IgG has been well known for its important role in the pathogenesis of CIA and has become the marker antibody for CIA
Figure 3
Anti-CII IgG and IgG2a levels were reduced in protected mice
Anti-CII IgG and IgG2a levels were reduced in protected mice. Serums were taken from 56 days after CII challenge from ESCIA mice, ASCIA mice and CIA mice. The levels of anti-CII IgG was measured in serially diluted serum and the levels of subclasses of anti-CII IgG1 or IgG2a were measured from 1:400 diluted serum by ELISA. (A) anti-CII IgG in ASCIA vs CIA (B) anti-CII IgG in ESCIA vs CIA (C) anti-CII IgG1 (D) anti-CII IgG2a. Results were obtained from 10 to 15 serum samples collected from two or three independently performed experiments. Data presented were the mean OD ± SEM. Asterisks*** and ** represented P < 0.001 and P < 0.01 respectively by two way ANOVA for IgG or by one-way ANOVA for subclasses with Bonferroni multiple comparison test.
We further compared the levels of IgG1 or IgG2a subclasses in ASCIA mice without arthritis with those from arthritic CIA or arthritic ESCIA mice. The level of IgG2a was significantly reduced in ASCIA mice comparing to CIA or ESCIA mice (Fig
Protective effects in ASCIA mice were associated with enhanced production of IL-4 and IL-10 and reduced production of IFN-γ
Many studies have indicated the importance of different Th subsets and the balance among them in the pathogenesis of arthritis in the CIA model

Protective effects in ASCIA mice were associated with enhanced production of IL-4 and IL-10 and reduced production of IFN-γ
Protective effects in ASCIA mice were associated with enhanced production of IL-4 and IL-10 and reduced production of IFN-γ. 56 days after CII immunization in ESCIA mice, ASCIA mice and CIA mice, splenocytes were stimulated by anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 antibodies for 72 hrs. The cytokine contents for IL-4 (A), IFN-g (B), IL-10 (C) and IL-17 (D) were measured by ELISA as described in the Materials and Methods. Shown are samples from individual mouse combined from two or three separately performed experiments. Asterisks* and ** represented P < 0.05 and P < 0.01 respectively by one-way ANOVA with Bonferroni multiple comparison test.

FoxP3+ regulatory T cells were not different between protected and unprotected mice
It is widely accepted that FoxP3+ regulatory T cells(Treg) play critical roles in pathogenesis of various of kinds of autoimmune diseases including human RA

Mouse Group
The number of mice per group is from 8 to 13 from two or three separately performed experiments. Each value was derived from the means of individual mouse in the group.
Helminth parasites inhabit immune-competent hosts for long periods of time and appear to develop strategies to induce strong anti-inflammatory responses in the infected host. Loss of natural helminth exposure as a result of improved hygiene and wide-use of anti-helminth drugs result increased incidences of immune-mediated disorders evidenced by epidemiological studies. On the other hand, the helminths provide the host with more balanced immuno-homeostasis and demonstrate beneficial effects against various kinds of autoimmune diseases in animal studies
The anti-CII antibodies have been recognized as important pathogenic factors in the initiation and development of CIA in mice. It has been reported that arthritis can be transferred passively to naive animals with CII-reactive serum
Schistosomiasis is a well-characterized Th2 response-dominated disease
We noticed the different result obtained by Osada
Another possible protective mechanism involved in our study was likely associated with the enhanced production of regulatory cytokine IL-10 by activated T cells found in protected animals. Th2 cells, FoxP3+ CD4+ Treg cells and FoxP3- IL-10-producing CD4+ so called Tr1 cells
Our study also provided an approach to explore the plasticity of Th subsets
In summary, we demonstrated in this study that
6-12 weeks old male DBA/1 mice were purchased from Songjiang Animal Facility of the Chinese Academy of Sciences of Shanghai. All mice were maintained under specific pathogen-free conditions and fed with standard laboratory food and water. All procedures performed on animals within this study were conducted in accordance with and by approval of the Internal Review Board of Tongji University School of Medicine.
DBA/1 mice were infected by percutaneous exposure of the abdomen with 20 cercariae per mouse. Cercariae of
Induction and assessment of CIA
CIA was induced according to the methods as described by Current Protocol in Immunology
Arthritis was scored as described in Current Protocol in Immunology
Measurement of antibodies against CII
The levels of anti-CII IgG or its subclasses in serum were measured by ELISA. Serum was collected at day 56 after first CII immunization. In brief, 96-well ELISA microplates (Greiner) were coated with CII at 5 μg/ml dissolved in 0.1 N NaHCO3, pH9.6 buffer at 100 μl/well at 4°C overnight. 100 μl of diluted serum sample was incubated at 4°C overnight. The plates were washed with PBST (0.5% Tween-20 in PBS) three times, followed by adding peroxidase conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG at 1:2000 (CapitalBo Corp., Beijing) or peroxidase-conjugated anti-mouse IgG1 or anti-mouse IgG2a at 1:10000 (Santa Cruz) at 100 μl/well. After 2 hr incubation at room temperature and wash, the final color development was achieved by adding peroxidase substrate ABTS (2,2'-Azino-bis(3-Ethylbenzthiazoline-6-Sulfonic Acid) , Sigma) to each well at 100 μl/well and the absorbance was measured at 405 nm at appropriate time.
Measurement of cytokine production by splenocytes
To study cytokine expression by T lymphocytes, isolated spleen cells (5 × 106 cells/well) from mice that were immunized by CII for 8 weeks or from control mice were stimulated with 1 μg/ml anti-CD3ε (eBioscience) and 1 μg/ml anti-CD28 (eBioscience) at 37°C, 5%CO2 in 10% FCS/RPMI(GIBCO) culture medium for 72 hrs. The cytokine contents in the supernatants were analyzed by ELISA analysis as described by the e-Bioscience protocol
Flow cytometric analysis of regulatory T cell, T cell and B cell
The levels of regulatory T cell (Treg) in splenocytes were measured by flowcytometry analysis as instructed by the Mouse Regulatory T cell Staining Kit (eBioscience). T cell and B cell were detected by FACS analysis staining with either FITC-anti-CD3ε (eBioscience) or PE-anti-B220 (eBioscience). All data were collected on a FACSCalibur (Becton Dickinson) and analyzed with FlowJo software (Tree Star, Ashland, OR).
Statistical analyses
Differences in arthritis score and differences in antibody levels of anti-CII IgG were analyzed with two-way ANOVA with Bonferroni multiple comparison tests. Differences in levels of cytokine production and subclasses of IgG were analyzed by one-way ANOVA with Bonferroni multiple comparison test. Calculations for statistical analysis were performed with Prism software. P < 0.05(*), P < 0.01(**) and P < 0.001(***) were considered as statistically significant.

The Supreme Court heard oral arguments in Arizona v. Johnson today. As reported in our original post, the case centered around a traffic stop where an officer patted down the passenger who did not appear to have committed a crime, but did appear to be armed and dangerous. Following argument, there appear to be two major issues for the justices to debate:
1) Is the passenger "seized" when riding in a car pulled over by police?
2) What are the requirements for a valid search under Terry v. Ohio?
For the state, Assistant Arizona Attorney General Joseph Parkhurst argued that for a search to be constitutional under Terry v. Ohio and subsequent opinions, the officer need only reasonably believe that the searched is armed and dangerous. For the defendant, Andrew Pincus argued that a officer must believe both that a the searched is armed and dangerous AND that criminal activity is afoot.
Interestingly, and for the first time, the Supreme Court may now need to decide when a traffic stop begins and ends. A sizable portion of the argument centered around whether Johnson, the passenger was seized during the traffic stop as well as the larger issue of when a traffic stop actually begins and ends. In fact, to rule here, the court may actually have to decide when a traffic stop begins and ends.

Style: 27975945 Colour:
Simple swing-shaped tunic with long sleeves. Subtle scoop drop in the back. 100% Rayon Machine Wash Cold *Import
FP Beach
One of nine exclusive, in-house labels. Effortless seaside styles.
Cute Dress/Tunic
I really like this dress, though it is a bit short for me to wear on its own (and I'm not tall). I can see the younger demographic wearing it as a dress, but i would likely have to pair it with shorts. I love the tight sleeves, loose body look. I have it in both blue and yellow in XS/S. I'm 5'4" and about 115 lbs and the fit is like shown on the model.
Cute and simple, too tight in the arms
I kept this, but I should have returned it. The pros: the color is stunning and rich, the fit is fun, loose and flowy in the skirt. Cons: The sleeves are way too tight. I can barely pull it over my arms and it feels uncomfortable when I'm wearing it. Disappointed. A size up would have been far too large in the skirt portion.
Fall Staple
I got this in the Plum color and to start off, it's definitely not the same color. Mine is more of a dark true purple while the one on the website looks like a dark magenta with more pink tones. But other than that, it's just an awesome staple dress. (I'm 5'2, got the XS/S and it definitely is a dress on me - not too short at all like some tunics). Fit is loose and sleeves are a little too long on me but I love tent dress styles - so comfy :) I love the lower cut back - it adds a little bit of interest to an otherwise basic dress. Can't wait to style this with big patterned scarfs and tall socks!
very strange fit
this piece fit me very well in all places except the neck and arms. i ordered the blush in M/L and the tunic was loose and comfy in the chest and torso area but choked me in the neck and was very awkward and tight on the shoulders and elbows. super uncomfortable to move around in, returning it.
I really, really wanted to love this. I am 5'5, 121lbs...the XS was HUGE, except for the arms! The arms are certainly snug, but the body of it is just really huge and unflattering. Don't get me wrong, i love a baggy, flow dress....but this one just isn't working for me. It looks NOTHING like the fit on the model. Bummer :(
Love it
I ordered this in both the Goldenrod and Steel colors originally, although I ended up exchanging the steel one for the blush color. I was hoping for a bit more of a bluish grey color with the steel, but it ended up just being straight-up grey. The goldenrod color is gorgeous, though. Fit-wise, I didn't really have much of an issue - the sleeves are mildly tight but not terribly so, and the way it flares out is just adorable. The XS/S is long enough for a dress on me (5'3"). Overall, very happy with these purchases, as there will be so many different ways to wear and accessorize them.
Cant be a dress
I have a long torso so this is a no go for a dress, but too long for me to wear as a shirt. i bought the golden rod color and it is a little more faded yellow than the picture shows. It washes me out. Sadly I will be returning it
Very short
I've been eyeing this forever and wanted to love it. I'm 5'9 and got the XS/S. It had a nice shape while standing still, but as soon as I moved it was way too short. It is just an oversized tee shirt, and sadly not quite worth the price.

Lifetime probabilities of multigenerational caregiving and labor force attachment in Australia

|Australia, caregiving, labor force, survival analysis
Background: An aging population has increased the prevalence of multigenerational caregiving (MGC), defined as unpaid care for an adult while having a dependent child in the household. Policymakers are simultaneously promoting labor force attachment in response to population aging, which may conflict with MGC status.
Objective: This research provides estimates of the probability of MGC status and its relationship to labor force attachment.
Methods: A balanced panel of respondents from nine waves (2005−2013) of the Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) survey data has been used to estimate point-in-time and lifetime probabilities of MGC status for women and for men, and rates of labor force participation and part-time employment prior to, during, and after MGC status.
Results: Few adult women (2.3%) and men (1.1%) report MGC status at any point in time. Estimated lifetime probabilities of MGC status are 57.1% for women and 34.6% for men, and rates are higher for women and men out of the labor force pre-MGC status. Comparing pre- and post-MGC periods, women's labor force participation rises by an estimated 9 percentage points, mainly due to an increase in part-time employment.
Conclusions: A majority of Australian women and many Australian men can expect to take on multigenerational caregiving responsibilities during their lifetime. While long-term labor force participation is not reduced by these responsibilities, they may increase the concentration of women in part-time employment.
Contribution: Prior studies capturing MGC status are limited by age, gender, or are not longitudinal and our research note attempts to broaden our understanding of the impact of carer status.

Guide part 5
|Power is not only what you have, but what the enemy thinks you have.
-Saul Alinsky, Rules For Radicals
There are several types of items, and we'll cover the temporary items first; their effects occur immediately once your officer runs into them, and the results of their effects are sometimes permanent (like health restoration). These items are found only on the battlefield, and are not stockable in any way. Although Koei may want to take the concept of a stored energy reserve (Six Demon Bag!) in their next Dynasty Warriors installment.
Temporary Items
All of these items fade away after 45 seconds after exposure - so don't expose them until you need them. They are inside the various clay pots, wood crates, and sometimes dropped by enemy soldiers (the ones with Names like Guard Captain, Gate Captain, Supply Captain, etc.) and are fairly common.
Single Meat Bun: You and your bodyguards recover 50 life points. Enemies and boxes have this item.
Double Meat Bun: You and your bodyguards recover 100 life points. Enemies and boxes have this item.
Pork Chop: You and your bodyguards recover 200 life points, just like in Castlevania. Enemies and boxes have this item.
Baked Chicken: You and your bodyguards recover all their life (regardless of damage). Enemies and boxes have this item.
Jug O' Wine: Your musou meter is filled to the maximum. Enemies and boxes have this item.
Blue Potion: You and your bodyguards recover all life and the musou meter is filled. Enemies and boxes have this item.
Arrows: Arrow pick-ups vary in amount from 5 to 20, and are dropped by bow equipped enemies or in boxes.
Magic Axe: Attack stats are doubled for 30 seconds. Only enemies leave this item.
Magic Mail: Defence stats are doubled for 30 seconds. Only enemies leave this item.
Magic Boots: Speed is increased greatly for 30 seconds. Enemies and boxes have this item.
Imperial Seal: Uncommon item. Permission to use Musou free for 10 seconds. Only boxes have this item.
Liu Chan: Unique item. Liu Bei's son imparts 60 seconds of free Musou and is found only in the Battle of Chang Ban.
Dim Sum Plate: Rare item. Your officer's maximum life is increased by 10. Only boxes have this item.
Precious Wine: Rare item. Your officer's maximum musou is increased by 10. Only boxes have this item.
Treasure Box: Uncommon item. Has stored items inside and are dropped only by enemies.
Rich Treasure Box: Rare item. Has a unique item inside; appears only if conditions are met.
Sword Power-up: Uncommon, dropped only from slain enemy officers. This increases the attack stat of an officer by the displayed amount.
Shield Power-up: Uncommon, dropped only from slain enemy officers. This increases the defence stat of an officer by the displayed amount.
Clay Pot: Common item carrier. Found everywhere on the battlefield, and almost always near a stronghold.
Wood Box: Common item carrier. Found everywhere on the battlefield, and almost always near a stronghold.
Red Box: Rare item carrier. Only appears if certain conditions are met; item inside is unique and very rare.
Permanent Miscellaneous Items and Elemental Orbs
These are Stored Items - stuff you can use from one battle to the next. You and your human buddy can each equip one of each item for your respective officers. You can even clone the items (i.e., you equip a Tiger Amulet, your buddy can equip a Tiger Amulet too). However, you cannot clone items on your own officer (i.e., cannot equip two Peacock Urns).
Unlike Dyansty Warriors 3, items are separated into three distinct classes: Harness, Orb, and Miscellaneous. There are five saddles in the game, six different elemental orbs, and 21 miscellaneous items. Of those 21 miscellaneous items, 13 of them are "buildable" meaning they have greater effect if you find higher level items, while 8 of the miscellaneous items imparts some special ability to your officer when equipped.
In general, all items can be earned on any difficulty level, and either Musou or Free modes can be your venue. However, keep in mind that items on easier difficulties have a lower level than ones on a harder difficulty. For the best items (level wise) you will want to earn them on Hard, and on stages that have their difficulty ranked very high. The maximum level for any item is 20. The maximum level for an elemental orb is 4.
These items can be found from dead officers, or more uncommonly from boxes on the battlefield. Higher difficulty levels yield higher level items than easier ones. Comboes no longer have anything to do with the grade of the item (unlike DW3), and the range of the item level you earn is basically set higher on Hard late-campaign stages than on Normal or Easy early-campaign stages.
A note about the elemental orbs - some of them have had their abilities drastically reduced after some play balance issues in Dynasty Warriors 3, so do not expect the same element that worked so well in DW3 to be used in DW4! All elemental orbs are usable by any character, and it is always recommended that you equip the best one for the job (there really is only one, but you can decide yourself).
Peacock Urn: Life points are increased according to item level. This item is removed temporarily for duels. Equip one to increase your life bar.
Dragon Amulet: Musou meter is lengthened according to item level. This item is removed temporarily for duels. If your character's musou is set to a preset duration (hold CIRCLE and at the end of the musou attack, if there is musou left, that officer's attack is preset) use the Dragon Amulet to extend the musou duration.
Tiger Amulet: Attack stat is increased according to item level. A glitch reported on the IGN boards claims that after a duel, the Tiger Amulet's effects are removed. Since this glitch has not been confirmed, you should equip one early on to increase your attacks if you think you need it. What can be confirmed, is that the Tiger Amulet only enhances attacks using SQUARE - not the charge attacks, mounted attacks, bow attacks, or musou attacks!
Turtoise Amulet: Defence stat is increased according to item level. A glitch reported on the IGN boards claims that after a duel, the Tortoise Amulet's effects are removed. Since this glitch has not been confirmed, you should equip one early on to help with your character's defence.
Speed Scroll: Speed is increased according to item level. Speed scrolls become less vital once you can equip a harness horse. The Speed Scroll will only apply to your officer, and not your bodyguards!
Wing Boots: Jumping height is increased according to item level. Jumping is slightly more important this time around - some new barricades have been introduced into DW4 to make use of it, just not often. Wing Boots are pretty useless unless you really need to make short cuts (which is never - jack a horse instead).
Huang's Bow: Bow attack stat is increased according to item level. Bow attack is only useful for characters who already have high bow attack. The reason why is that you want to kill enemies with one shot rather than several since your arrow supply is limited.
Shell Armor: Bow defence stat is increased according to item level. Bow defence is far more important. If your character runs into a lot of crossbow soldiers on Hard, you'll die faster than you realise. Equip one while playing on later stages (or on Hard), and then only if the item level is over 10.
Horned Helm: Mounted attack stat is increased according to item level. This item is useless until you earn the Shadow Runner Harness so you can't get knocked off. Even then, stick to officers with high mounted attack (like Ma Chao).
Cavalry Armor: Mounted defense stat is increased according to item level. This item is useless once you are off a horse, and unless you are riding Shadow Runner, the first hit you suffer while mounted knocks you off. For the record, arrow attacks while mounted are counted against bow defence.
Seven Star Sash: Luck stat is increased according to item level. Luck affects how often enemies drop items, although Treasure Boxes and such are preset, and are not affected. Some small faction still believes that luck has a part in the level of items, but it has a more immediate effect of forcing common enemies to drop meat buns and stuff. This is a good item to combine with your Bodyguards and Bodyguard Manual when you decide to level up your Bodyguards to Level 20.
Elixir: Musou gauge refills faster according to item level. This is a very good item to pair with the Way of Musou item. Each hit done with SQUARE is increased, or if you hold CIRCLE and simply charge the musou meter. For fast charging characters, you can fill the musou meter in just two or three hits.
Herbal Remedy: Charge attack damage in increased according to item level. This item increases the damage done by any charge attack. The higher the level, the more damage is done up to a theoretical double the damage of the original value. Consider equipping this from time to time with the Blast Element Orb to simply deal good chip damage. Where the Tiger Amulet increases attack power of SQUARE attacks, use the Herbal Remedy to increase the power of your charge blows (anything using TRIANGLE).
Flame Orb: Imparts fire to charge attacks when musou bar is flashing. Enemies hit by a fire attack lose life for a little while after the blow as the fire continues to burn them. This orb is the most basic of all elements and is most likely the first one you'll earn. It's hard to say since this item is dropped and found randomly. Equip a fire orb only if you have no other orb available. Each orb level increases the burn duration slightly.
Lightning Orb: Imparts electrical damage to charge attacks when musou bar is flashing. Enemies hit by a successful lightning attack will cause electrical damage to any other unit (allies included) on top of the knock back damage. This orb is fairly good orb to have early on, but when you truly need the killing power, you'll have to upgrade. In 2P co-operative mode, one player can focus on killing enemies while another player focuses on the officer. The player fighting the peons may want to consider the lightning orb, but chances are, you'll skip over it for something better. Each orb level increases the damage done by lightning.
Vorpal Orb: Imparts the vorpal attack on charge blows when the musou bar is flashing. Dynasty Warriors 3 had more damage for vorpal than in Dynasty Warriors 4, so don't expect too much from it this time around. Still, the increased damage from the vorpal attack may sometimes be enough to kill low level peons quickly (it is hard to tell with maxxed out officers whether this attack is doubled or a true instant-kill). Each orb level will increase the likeliness of the power being activated when the charge attack is executed, up to approximately 80% of the time. Note that Level 10 weapons always activate the vorpal element when charge attacks are used.
Frost (Ice) Orb: If you wanted to play Sub-Zero in something other than Mortal Kombat Mythologies, here's your chance. The frost orb has a chance of completely freezing enemies solid for a time equal to the stun effect. During this time though, they can be struck for damage, and if you get wise and do a chain combo, then suffix a true musou attack (courtesy of you-know-what) you can probably kill most officers without a problem. However, the freezing effect works less well than it does in Mystic Heroes, and depends on how the officer delivers his/her charge attacks! Each orb level increases the duration of immobility but not the chance of freezing an enemy. Officers and objective officers usually cannot be frozen, so this orb's usefulness is only useful against chumps.
Blast Orb: Imparts the blast element to charge attacks. This orb is great since it does extra damage with each charge hit. You should couple it with Herbal Remedy and Tiger Amulet to do some serious damage. The great thing is that charge attacks using the blast orb will do chip damage on officers who guard. This insures that you will be damaging those cheap bastards even if they can fully recover their life. Although the amount of chip damage is small, sometimes you only need to do a little bit more of damage to win a stage but since the objective officer is blocking, you can't damage him - then WHAM! Some jerk-ass enemy guard attacks you from the back and kills you. With the blast orb, you can solve that problem and kill the officer eventually. Orb level determines the amount of damage dealt.
Venom (Poison) Orb: Imparts venom on enemies hit by charge attacks. Poisoned enemies lose more hit points when struck by successive blows for the poison's duration (which isn't too long). Orb level determines length of that poison duration.
Miscellaneous Ability and Harness Items
These items are found in richly decorated red boxes that appear after some conditions are met. Since you can get almost all these items easily on Easy, I highly recommend that you play Wei, Wu, and Shu on Easy, unlock most of the stages in Free mode and simply meet the conditions there. Playing with two human players is much easier to get these items than on one player. Thanks to BlueSory for helping out!
You can snap up all of these items in less than two day's worth of work (on Easy). Once conditions are met, some of these items are carried by "Supply Troops" that make their way across the battlefield. Note that unless you are near the Supply Captain gets killed, you will not get the item! It's okay to let your allies kill him, just make sure you can serach the body for the box. The last thing - try to leave your stage events option turned on since they give you a big fat clue of what events need to occur to get these items. You can still get the items with the option turned off, but you will need to check the history box often, and sometimes, events may not occur - the stage events are the strongest evidence that you're doing something right!
Art of War Scroll
Found: Campaign Against Sun Jian
Force: Dong Zhuo's Forces
Effect: Temporary items last longer. This is a good item to have for characters with lots of item slots to extend their attack, defence, or free musou!
Unlock: Kill Sun Quan, enter the northern castle to trigger Sun Jian's teleporting army. Proceed to KO any three of the following officers - Sun Shang Xiang, Zhou Tai, Lu Meng, or Gan Ning. Check history box for a Supply Unit appearance. The Supply Unit will enter from the stronghold just south of the north castle and will attempt to flee to the southern-most stronghold.
Survival Guide Scroll
Found: The Two Qiaos
Force: Wu Forces
Effect: When life is critical (musou meter auto-builds) you gain double Attack after standing up from lying flat on the ground. Xu Zhu's true musou will put him on his back afterwards, but every other officer needs to be hit in the air (and not recover) to wind up bleyah! on the ground.
Unlock: Rescue Xiao Qiao then Da Qiao and wait for Dong Zhuo's forces to appear. Check history box for an item report. It will be a decorated red box just southwest of the southern center bridge.
Bodyguard Manual
Found: Guan Yu's Escape
Force: Shu Forces
Effect: Bodyguards become stronger and more aggressive. Note that bodyguards do not fire charged arrow shots any more, so this item only makes them butcher people faster with melee weapons. Still, bow and crossbow bodyguards react and fire faster if you have this equipped.
Unlock: Allow Xiahou Dun's unit to approach Guan Yu's unit. Do this by KO'ing the fifth (and last) officer to open the fifth gate when Xiahou Dun is at the double set of bridges (check your map stupid). Xiahou Dun will accost Guan Yu in a cut-scene, and afterwards, an item report will occur in the vicinity.
Way of Musou
Found: Guan Yu's Escape
Force: Wei Forces
Effect: Use the True Musou attack regardless of life remaining. This item is one of the more powerful items, and should be given a spot once you've built your attack and defence stats a little and can spare the space. A real crowd clearer!
Unlock: You may want two players on this one (one to keep Guan Yu and the Carriage holding Liu Bei's two wives busy). Breach the fifth gate in pursuit of Guan Yu, and a Supply Unit will appear to the east of the double bridges (the double bridges comprise part of the fourth gate) and will flee east. If you have a second player waiting there, it'll be easy.
Power Scroll
Found: Yellow Turban Fortress
Force: Yellow Turban's Forces
Effect: Your officer will never lose weapon clashes. Weapon clashes are rare, but when you lock weapons with another officer or enemy, pressing SQUARE and TRIANGLE sometimes doesn't guarantee a victory. This item only guarantees a draw between you and the enemy.
Unlock: KO both Guan Yu and Zhao Yun (subordinate officers under Liu Bei) and a Supply Unit will appear at the entrance to the north-western cul-de-sac. They will attempt to flee to the eastern-most of the three strongholds in the north.
Wind Scroll
Found: Battle of Xu Chang
Force: Shu's Forces
Effect: Increase weapon strike range. This item is now preset, and there is no reason why you shouldn't go after it immediately when the stage is available in Free mode.
Unlock: You definitely want two players on this one unless you set the game to Easy. Have one player protect Yue Ying while the siege ramp is being deployed (The Dynasty Warriors versus Command and Conquer Tiberian Fiends!) and have the second player rout Xu Zhu's unit when it ambushes Guan Xing's fortress. Routing Man Chong to protect Yue Ying is possible. Remember your attacks do not harm the siege ramp, so go nuts with the musou. After Sima Yi makes some smug remark about you being in two places at once, an item report will show you where the red box is on the west half of the battlefield.
Fire Arrows
Found: Unification of Jing
Force: Wu's Forces
Effect: Arrows are imparted the Fire element. Use it with the charged arrow shot for some true pain! This item is fun, but not terribly thrilling do to the lack of ammo.
Unlock: Right off the start of the stage, kill Zhou Xin (under Wang Lang's unit) all the way to the east side of the battlefield. Once the officer is dead, a Supply Unit (gotta love 'em) appears near the western-most castle and starts its flight to the northeast. If you manage to jack a horse on single player, you can reach the Supply Unit without too much trouble.
Charge Bracer
Found: Campaign Against Sun Jian
Force: Yuan Shao's Forces
Effect: Officer ignores being knocked down while doing a charge attack. This item is neat in that you can finish doing your charge attack combos without being staggered by arrows or hits from pesky bodyguards. However, this doesn't make your officer invincible, so you still take damage!
Unlock: When you start, force yourself into the north castle before any Wu reinforcements arrive. A Supply Unit will appear at the castle's southern entrance and will attempt to flee to the stronghold just south of the castle, so there is not much time! If you have a second player waiting, this will be very easy!
Red Hare Harness
Found: Battle of Xia Pi
Force: Lu Bu's Forces
Effects: Start a stage mounted on Red Hare. Among men, Lu Bu. Among horses, Red Hare. The figurative translation is rather mundane, but Red Hare is the fastest horse in the stable - unfortunately, it sucks compared to Shadow Runner since you can get knocked off. However, if you need to be in a place in a real hurry, there is no substitue (except for teleportation).
Unlock: Do not dispatch any officers until after Guan Yu seizes Red Hare (it's a set time pass event). Once Guan Yu and Red Hare are one, force a premature separation by force of arms. Guan Yu has high attack and defence in this particular stage and you may have a time trying to kill him (even with a high level officer with a Level 10 weapon). Once Guan Yu has his face torn off, an item report will come in with the harness's location.
Hex Mark Harness
Found: Campaign Against Liu Bei (Musou Mode only, awww...)
Force: Yellow Turban's Campaign
Effect: Start stage mounted on Hex Mark. Hex Mark brought bad luck to all its owners, but here your officer's luck will be increased while riding Hex Mark. But compared to Shadow Runner, it sucks.
Unlock: During Act I, choose to play the Yellow Turban Fortress, then opt to finish off the Campaign Against Liu Bei. At the Campaign against Liu Bei, slay both Zhao Yun and Guan Yu before Shu reinforcements appear, then proceed to attack but do not kill Liu Bei. Reduce his life to half and an item report should appear marking the harness's location.
Storm Runner Harness
Found: Campaign Against Cao Cao
Force: Lu Bu's Forces
Effect: Start a stage mounted on Storm Runner. Storm Runner increase Mounted Attack independently of the Horned Helmet, so this a horse for all you cavalry monsters. It still sucks compared to Shadow Runner.
Unlock: Attack either Xu Huang to the east (or Yue Jin to the West) and a message will notify you of the ambush parties. You need to search the area where the other ambush party is suspected (before they are found by your allies) for Xiahou Dun to appear. Ignore Cao Ren's ambush and concetrate on this task. Once the second ambush party is "discovered", proceed into the main castle where Cao Cao is and Xiahou Dun will appear with an ambush on the north half of the battlefield. Kill the Guard Captain to escape the castle and take out Xiahou Dun. An item report will place the red box near Cao Cao - be sure to get it before you kill him!
Shadow Runner Harness
Found: Battle of Tong Gate
Force: Shu Forces
Effect: Start stage mounted on Shadow Runner. Shadow Runner is the best horse since you cannot fall off when hit, unless it is by a rolling boulder, a steam geyser, or an elephant. This will let officers like Ma Chao a big advantage when they equip the Horned Helmet while riding!
Unlock: This will take some time, so two players may make it better if both know what they're doing. Slay all the flag officers in the southern half (Cao Hong, Xiahou Yuan, Dian Wei, Cao Ren) and the Ice Fortress' gates will open. Dispatch all the officers under Cao Cao (Jia Xu, Xu Zhu) and if possible Yu Jin and Xu Huang as well. Once this is done, work over Cao Cao's unit by slaying his men to reduce Wei morale to one star or less. It's imerative that you accomplish all this within 10 minutes, since at 50:00, Han Sui will defect to Wei ranks if Cao Cao stands a chance of winning. If Han Sui doesn't defect, an item report will appear shortly after telling you where the red box is.
Elephant Harness
Found: Nanman Campaign
Force: Nanman Forces
Effect: Start stage mounted on Stampy the Elephant. Stampy can be used to destroy watchtowers (you get rid of archers quickly) and is almost imperative in any Nan Zhong Province stage. Stampy is relatively slow, so don't use him for any mission where you need to be speedy. It's best to simply consider him a very mobile ram.
Unlock: The stage is easy (esp. if you rout Ma Su and let Wu Tugu's unit bear the brunt of the assault on Zhuge Liang), but meeting the conditions for the red box to appear is hard. You need to ride an elephant into Zhuge Liang's camp in the north. The hard way is to follow an elephant rider and hope that an enemy gets lucky and knocks him or her off (it's easier if the difficulty is set higher, but you'll have a harder time finishing the stage). The easy way is to exploit Huang Gai's love of bombs and blow one of your buddies off the elephant, jack it, and ride into Zhuge Liang's camp. Once you do, check your history box for the location of the red box.

text: Posted January 21, 2013 I know in the rest of the world it is not uncommon to see people who arent white holding positions of power and authority. Business owners, decision makers, strategists. These are all foreign concepts to the NFL where they have to put in a rule forcing themselves to interview people for jobs that arent white. Think about that for a second. Its that bad they have to self police themselves and even then they've done a poor job. The concept of african americans having intelligence and being able to grasp strategy and displaying leadership abilities and deal with adversity is fairly new to the sport as well. The NBA and MLB crossed those bridges decades ago. If the nation moved as slow as the NFL, it'd be another 40 years before we saw a black President. So by "rest of the world" you mean "america". I guess I shouldn't have expected anything more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
