" Address: Tain / Ross-shire / IV19 1PY / Scotland "
I am finally back to writing surveys. Who knew that moving house would take so much time and energy?
I have been able to get out for a couple of meals within this time and decided it was time to write my thoughts. I was still searching for a reception venue for my Wedding in November, I know I left it late but I had a place booked but wasn't entirely happy with it. It's called The Morangie Hotel and it's the review I will be writing about just now.
My partner was due to go away for work on the Sunday evening, doesn't happen often so when it does happen I hate him going. This particular Sunday James (my partner) decided to treat me and take me out for lunch at The Morangie Hotel as he knew I'd be packing all day.
Location - The Morangie Hotel is located in a small town called Tain in the Highlands of Scotland. It's on Morangie Road and is just of the main road which is the A9.
A little bit about the hotel - It's a Victorian Mansion which was built in 1903 by a local architect. For this reason it is a really outstanding property that you would never tire of looking at.
Rooms - There is 26 bedrooms in this property which have all been decorated individually so no two rooms look the same. All rooms have an en-suite, telephone, hairdryer, trouser press, tea and coffee making facilities, and sky TV. So for this reason you would never have to bring your kitchen sink with you when going for a holiday.
I have never been in the rooms to comment on how they look but from the pictures on their website they do look a bit dated for my liking. And I would say they even though the rooms look big enough it would be great for them to be brought a bit more up to date.
The prices for the rooms are for bed and breakfast and are as follows -
Single - from £70
Double/Twin as Single - £80
Honeymoon Double - £75pp
Double/Twin Standard - £55pp
There are usually special offers which you would need to check the website for. For anyone using Euros they will accept these for payment for the rooms as well as in the bar and restaurant.
Leisure Facilities - Ok this is a bit of a cheat, I seen this on their website and was surprised that a hotel like this actually had leisure facilities. Where are the spa and the gym then? Answer - there's not. Unfortunately the hotel isn't big enough to have any of this within the property but they are close enough to the centre of Tain to be able to use all local facilities which does include a Gym and a swimming pool. There is also a place to go and get a massage of your choice and it's only a 5 minute walk from the hotel.
Conference Rooms - There are two conference rooms in the hotel. The first one can be used for up to a max of 30 people. And the other can accommodate a max of 20 people. Although the conference rooms are small they do state that they can cater for up to 150 which include using the dining rooms in the hotel.
The Bar - This is right next to the restaurant and is a nice size. There's not a lot of tables to sit at but I don't think this hotel is really somewhere you would go on a Friday night for drinks and would mainly be used by residents at the hotel.
Finally Dining - This is the part that I'm going to write my opinions about after a quick description of what you can expect in the hotel.
There are two dining rooms in use in the Hotel. Both are not too big which makes it feel slightly more intimate when you go out for a meal. There is the garden restaurant which is an extension to the main hotel. It's a large conservatory which is really nice to sit and eat in the Summer months.
There is also the smaller dining room which is situated in the main building and is just on the left when you walk in the main entrance. Both rooms are pleasant to sit and have a meal in and I don't know if it would really make a difference to your experience which one you chose.
My experience - So Sunday morning I was feeling sorry for myself I had loads to do and James was heading off to Manchester for 3 days. Ok he didn't have an easy time either as he had to drive 8 hours to get there!
We had been chatting about wedding venues when he offered to take me out for lunch before he leaves. This doesn't happen often so I was over the moon. Would there be any tables in the Morangie in an hour? James phoned whilst I got ready and luckily there was a table for two free.
What to wear? I knew that this hotel was a bit posher than the usual restaurants I go to. So if you do decide to go I would say to make an effort to look good but don't over do it. So in other words my opinion is don't go for a meal in your "comfortable clothes" you wear for relaxing in the house but then don't go out in an evening dress that looks like you are about to walk down the red carpet.
Getting there was good for us as it was only a two minute drive away along the A9. We pulled in to the gravel drive and I would say it is easy to locate even if you're not from the area. There was plenty of parking but there were also loads of cars, thinking we had been lucky to get a table with how busy it looked.
Ok so now into the hotel, walking in the main door which just looked like you were walking into a house. The hallway looked quite dark for such a sunny day but hey it wasn't like I'd be sitting in the hall for my lunch.
We approached the reception and we were greeted by a really nice staff member who took us to our table. I was happy to be seated in the garden restaurant so the doors were open to keep the room nice and cool. The member of staff then told us to go and help ourselves? Was I missing something - we were in a restaurant for a meal not at home........... Soon we worked out it was a carvery on a Sunday.
So we walked up to the table. In the garden restaurant the room is a strange U shape. So walking round I didn't think we were ever going to find where it was. We got there though and there wasn't many people in front of us so I was happy.
All laid out on the table was soup and crusty rolls, next to this there was starters and then onto the main courses. I took some starters which included prawn cocktail, salad and boiled salmon. There was a lot to choose from and I was impressed with the variety.
Sitting back at my seat with my starter I was still impressed with the selection and tasted just as impressive. Everything was really fresh and another bonus it is all made by the in house chef. I don't know how many restaurants I've been to that have bought most of the meals in and served as home made.
Onto main course - Back up to the "buffet" table and you are greeted by the chef who will carve your meat for you. There is a wide selection of roasts to choose from and the day we were there, we had a choice of gammon which had been roasted in a honey and mustard sauce, roast chicken, pork and poached salmon. I had trouble deciding which I wanted so the chef gave me a slice of the pork and a slice of the gammon.
You then help yourself to vegetables. Again I was happy with the variety that there was to choose from. They also had roast and boiled potatoes which made me very happy. Finally along at the end they had huge home made Yorkshire puddings (which is my absolute favourite thing about a roast dinner!) And then onto the gravy which for me was slightly too runny but tasted good all the same.
Back to the table and eating our main course. Every bit of the meal tasted just as good as my mums roast dinner and I felt just as comfortable sitting in the restaurant as I would at home. I was pretty full by the end of my main meal and didn't know if I could really face a dessert but may as well try.
Dessert - Ok my last trip to the food area. There they were - all the desserts displayed on this large stand in little portions just for you to pick up and take back to your table. No need for cutting and getting your fingers onto every bit of cake. The hardest thing about this is what dessert to choose. There was cheesecakes, gateaux's, crème brulee and so much more that I can remember. I chose the cheesecake whilst James chose a crème brulee. Both again were fantastic but the cheesecake was slightly too rich for me and the serving was way too big. The crème brulee was cooked perfectly and tasted better than I imagined (never tried crème brulee before!)
What I've missed - The staff in the restaurant were very polite and attentive, there is always one member of staff around to help you with any problems or to take a drinks order from you. There was no way I could fault them for the service they gave to us that day.
Toilets - The toilets are lovely and bright and extremely clean. The toilets have plenty of room and the only thing I could say was a problem if I had to was that they are right near the front door so not very convenient but that is an extremely minor issue.
Overall opinion of the meal - Well if you haven't already guessed it the meal was the best I've had in a long time. I never thought I'd enjoy the experience as much as I did and I would recommend anyone to go there for a meal as I really doubt you'd be disappointed. I would like to go there again through the week to have a look at their normal menu as I have heard it's just as good.
My opinion for a wedding - Unfortunately I've had to cancel my reservation to hold my wedding here for a few reasons;
Firstly on a tight budget we were finding it difficult to fork out £38pp for a meal. Ok it's not too expensive and it's the cheapest in their wedding brochure but £38pp was a bit too much for us. On top of this drinks on arrival were quite pricey for us. For a bottle of sparkling wine it would cost £18.95 per bottle. Again I suppose the price isn't too bad but the last thing that shocked me was for orange juice for the kids I was quoted £2.25 a glass! It made me speechless that they would really charge me that amount for a glass of orange juice.
Second problem - Ok so I wanted to decide on my menus for the day. I emailed them to ask when I could come down and discuss the menus. I was told that this is not possible until four weeks before the wedding. I thought this was cutting it a bit fine in case we didn't like the menu the chef chose. We had been told the chef would tell us what would be put on the menu so again we wouldn't have much input which is not what I wanted at all.
Last problem - The rooms. I always thought there was a big room hidden away somewhere to have the reception but I was told that it would be in the garden restaurant. This would never be suitable for a wedding as the room is such a funny shape you'd never see any of your guests. This was the main reason I cancelled the reception here as it really wasn't suitable for what I wanted even though I know that if the room was right the reception would be exceptional.
Last words - If you are ever in the area take a pop in here for a meal as you won't be disappointed. I loved my meal here and I am slightly sad that the room wouldn't be right for the wedding but it's definitely perfect for a meal.

meteorite shower
Only a few meteorites make their passage through the atmosphere in one piece. Most of them are fragmented on their way due to the high pressure to which they are subjected. Sometimes they may burst into only a few fragments, at other times, into thousands of individual pieces creating a meteorite shower. Only a few pieces from such a shower actually arrive on Earth since the smaller fragments usually burn up during their passage. However, sometimes, when the initial pieces are big enough, it literally "rains stones," and thousands of meteorites can be collected from huge strewn fields.

Did you get rid of the Model S then?
Correct, but It shouldn't take 1000 dollars in labor, or even 500. Most setups that I've seen require well under 300 in materials. That seems like extortionate rates, or a staggering level of incompetence on someone's part.
That's insane.
I ran 100 amp service 30 feet, underground, to a non attached garage, and it was sub 1000. Fatter wires, with conduit, and a full breaker panel vs a plug, and it's not like I didn't get it inspected either.
Too far?
good job for the new record!
The hero we needed.
I dub thee Tesla Jesus.
May combustion engines suck thy balls.
thx m8s
Congratulations on breaking the record.
Good luck on your 500 mi Tesla challenge!

For the fourth time this season, Old Walcountians paid the price of letting opponents build a lead that was too big to pull back as they tumbled to a 35-27 at Old Whitgiftians in Surrey Division One.
The Counts were put under pressure by the home side from the very start and not only were Whitgiftians winning the forward battles, their backs successfully closed down a Walcountians backline which had considerable pace to burn, even with Tom and Will Diamond absent.
The visitors only looked threatening when scrum-half Callum Stone or number eight Gerry Connor broke with the ball.
Nevertheless, they took the lead after 10 minutes when fly-half Ross Norton banged over a penalty and, although the hosts regained the lead five minutes later when their backs opened up the Counts' defence, the Counts narrowly missed out on retaking the lead in the 18th minute when a Norton penalty was off target.
However, continued Whitgiftians' pressure brought huge dividends in the second quarter as they surged into a 21-point lead with three tries and a penalty.
The first try came in the 21st minute when the Whitgiftians forwards drove over from a maul in the Counts' line.
Although Norton again cut the arrears with his second penalty of the day, Whitgiftians restored their advantage with one of their own from their fly-half and followed up with two more tries.
Walcountians remained under the cosh in the opening minutes of the second half when the hosts continued to extend their lead with a third penalty, followed by a try started from a line-out on the Counts 5m line and followed with a forward drive.
However, from this point, the Counts began to edge their way back into the game.
A tighter defence stopped any further Whitgiftians scores and the introduction of winger Ryan McGibbon added extra zip to the backs, while the addition of forwards Pete Cowlin and Dan Jones added a greater physicality to the pack.
Pete and Steve Cowlin were instrumental in turning the tables in the forwards' battle as their bullocking runs drove Walcountians forward and provided a platform for a spectacular finale.
Norton touch down for a try he converted himself, and then, as the game went into time added on, Walcountians stunned their hosts with two late tries.
The first came two minutes into stoppage time from abrasive flanker Sam Naylor, playing in his 150th game for the Counts, who ran onto a pass from Callum Stone and smashed his way through the hosts' defence to touch down.
A minute later, another try followed - the Counts counter-attacked from the kick-off and centre Fred South carved a huge hole in the Whitgiftians defence, from which he set up a ruck for the ball to be recycled and on its way to the backs again for a move which winger McGibbon finished by outpacing his opposite number.
Norton converted both tries to bring the Counts to within eight points of their hosts.
Walcountians are third from bottom in the table, protected by a superior points difference to Croydon.
They face another demanding fixture next Saturday when they travel to third-placed Old Tiffinians. Kick-off at Summer Road, Molesey, is at 2.30pm.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Her platinum white hair is long gone, replaced by silky smooth, dark brown locks. Yet that doesn't stop young girls from recognizing "High School Musical" star Ashley Tisdale at restaurants and asking for autographs.
Tisdale's role as Sharpay Evans, an over-the-top teenager who will stop at nothing to get what she wants in Disney's "High School Musical," has given her a huge following and altered Tisdale's life forever.
And the 24-year-old actress is expanding her career in new projects, including her role in movie "Aliens in the Attic," which debuts in U.S. theaters on Friday.
Tisdale continues to work in TV where "HSM" was a huge hit on the Disney Channel before becoming a movie, and she is even producing. Her singing has landed the actress a chart-topping recording career, and her second studio album, "Guilty Pleasures," comes out this week.
On the downside, her growing popularity has meant Tisdale has a constant trail of paparazzi following her around.
"I don't have a private life anymore; that's gone out the door," said Tisdale, but she has not let that stop her career.
In "Aliens in the Attic," Tisdale sheds her Sharpay image to portray a teen named Bethany, who joins other kids to battle aliens that land on the roof of her family's summer home.
Tisdale calls Bethany a "typical 17-year-old teen," whereas Sharpay tended toward being "very dramatic and very much a caricature." And Tisdale said getting away from "HSM" helps show her versatility as an actress.
"People know me as Sharpay, so playing a different character like Bethany is a great departure, she said.
Yet Tisdale's past is one reason "Aliens in the Attic" producer, Barry Josephson, wanted her onboard. "She brings the female audience to the movie," he said. "The other advantage is that she's really, really funny."
Josephson, whose credits include the movie "Enchanted" and the TV show "Bones," calls Tisdale a "new generation Reese Witherspoon or Jennifer Aniston" because of her instinct for comedy. Yet he feels she can go beyond that.
In fact, Tisdale is making further inroads in TV as the voice of the character Candace on Disney Channel's animated "Phineas & Ferb," and she will appear in an upcoming episode of ABC's "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition," helping host Ty Pennington build a home for a needy family.
Tisdale and her company, Blondie Girl Productions, are developing several TV projects, including a dating reality show she says the E! Network has considered launching. A pilot episode was already shot.
"I can't say much about it because it's not yet put together for the channel, but I can say that it's not in my age range. It's older - a little bit of 'Sex and the City.'"
Tisdale said she is looking for follow-up movie projects to "Aliens in the Attic," and she would "love to do more comedies or even romantic comedies."
Josephson noted that her other talent, singing, will likely come in very handy in the future, too.
"Ashley can do a biopic like Jennifer Lopez did with 'Selena' or take on a Streisand-type role. With her music and acting abilities, Ashley is very unique."

About the Book
"Blue Water and Rocky Lights" takes you back to a Coast Guard that would hardly be recognizable today with officer candidate school at the Coast Guard Academy, and cutters of World War II or older vintage. Lawrence G. Desmond, a junior officer aboard the cutters Mclane and Avoyel, tells a historic story sprinkled with anecdotes and good humor. It's illustrated with color and B&W photos of shipboard life, crewmembers, rescues, and photographic documentation of the exceptional seamanship required to supply St. George Reef lighthouse in the often-treacherous seas off the coast of northern California.

A proposal to build a recovery house on land designated for park use in the District of North Vancouver is not sitting well with some area residents, who say the project, if approved, could set a worrisome precedent.
"My concern is not at all with the project – there is definitely a recognized need for it on the North Shore," said Sean Wightman, a North Vancouver resident who lives near the site of the proposed recovery house. "It's important to have places where people can get help. My concern is taking an area away from a park."
Project supporters, however, say the site in question – acquired by the city in 1969 – is a vacant lot that was occupied by a house until it was demolished several years ago.
"There is no net loss of park land," District of North Vancouver Councillor Doug MacKay-Dunn said Monday. "And if the society for whatever reason down the road should vacate the property, it would revert to the district."
City council was to discuss Monday evening a proposal for a nine-bed recovery house at a district-owned site near Murdo Frazer Park.
For the project to go ahead, the district would have to repeal the 1969 bylaw that created the park through a procedure known as an "alternate approval process."
Under that process, council can carry out a planned course of action unless 10 per cent of voters call for a referendum. That process, and the timeline proposed for it, doesn't provide enough public input to what amounts to a significant change in land use, some residents maintain.
"A change in policy like this should be put to a referendum or a vote," said Bob MacWhirter, who lives near the site of the proposed centre. "Everybody in the district should have a say in this, and they're not informed."
The district considered nine sites before settling on the property that is currently envisioned as the home of the recovery house, Mr. MacKay-Dunn said. The lot is connected to municipal water and sewer services and has never been in the official boundaries of a park, he said.
According to a council report, district staff hand-delivered an invitation to a Nov. 26 information meeting to 14 neighbours in the immediate vicinity of the project; 36 people showed up.
Although "neighbours are sympathetic to the concept and understand the need to support North Shore women recovering from addictions," they had concerns about removing the site's park designation as well as parking and traffic issues, the report states.
The proposed facility would be run by the Vancouver-based Turning Point Recovery Society, which operates recovery houses in Richmond and Vancouver.
Currently, there is no recovery facility for women on the North Shore, Turning Point executive director Brenda Plant said. As to the potential precedent set by removing the park designation, Ms. Plant said she hoped those concerns could be addressed in future talks among council, residents and the proponents.
"I know we have no intention of going back to the district and saying, 'Hey, we've got one, can we have another one?' " Ms. Plant said, referring to potential approval of the project on park land. "I can't speak on behalf of other social service providers, but the district is assuring us that these are extraordinary circumstances."Report Typo/Error

Chess Board Details
21 1/2" Pyramidal Style Mahogany Chess Board with 2 1/4" SquaresEveryone Likes Choice. We sometimes take that philosophy to the extreme by offering hundreds of boards to choose from. Each are unique and there are chess boards that fit virtually any budget.
This real-wood inlaid Chess board is made with a sharp slanted pyramidal look that makes it stand out as a truly unique chess board.
Mahogany is a light reddish color wood, displaying a beautiful reddish sheen when polished. It is often sought after for its use in various furniture. The grain is reported to be interlocked, often irregular in direction, and sometimes very wild. Material containing wild grain is generally difficult to work to a smooth finish, so you will rarely see a dynamic graining in chessboards made with this wood. Due to considerable demand, many species are now protected.
This Mahogany board looks great with rosewood, crimson rosewood, ebonywood, and ebonized chess pieces.
Made in Spain.

Hot weather and I usually do not mix.
As a teenager, my parents took us on a family vacation to Florida to visit some relatives.
It was blistering hot all day at the beach. Not being an ocean person, the sun simply glared on me the entire afternoon.
When it was time for lunch, I started feeling ill at Denny's.
The group was sitting at a half-circle booth table with lucky me in the middle, which meant either half of the people had to get up to let me out or I had to crawl underneath the table.

NHS regulators have closed an investigation into Wirral Hospital Trust after finding it is taking reasonable steps to improve its finances.
Monitor launched its inquiry in November 2013 after the trust's costs seemed higher than expected, and its income lower than forecast.
The watchdog wanted to get a better picture of the financial position of the trust and determine whether there were problems with how it is run which may, in turn, have had an impact on patients.
After reviewing the evidence, Monitor ruled the trust is taking reasonable steps to address the issues and will not be taking any formal action.
The regulator will continue to closely review the trust's financial position and progress to improve financial management.
David Allison, chief executive of Wirral Hospital Trust, said: "I'm pleased Monitor has been assured by the actions we have already taken, and the plans we have in place to meet our financial challenges.
"In common with all NHS hospital trusts, we continue to operate in an extremely challenging financial environment but we are committed to maintaining safe, high-quality patient care while achieving financial stability."
Frances Shattock, regional director at Monitor, said: "We will now close our investigation but the trust will update us on the progress of its actions to improve its financial management.
"It will remain on formal financial monthly monitoring to provide us with on-going assurance."

I have two divs (#maincontent and #sidebar_wrap).
I would like a 1px border along the left side of div#sidebar_wrap that goes to the bottom of the page.
Currently I have border-right: 1px solid #ccc; on div#maincontent
But depending on the content inside div#maincontent, the border stops short, like on this page:http://t2.pcirs.com/our-company
If I put the border on the left of #sidebar_wrap, the border stops short again if the content inside #maincontent is long, like on this attached screenshot:
Any ideas?
Here is a example of how http://www.ericwwatson.com/. What I did was absolute position a div 1px wide with a background color with height 100%. Or you can use top 0 bottom 0.
Or you can use content property and say sidebar:before with the styles. This way no need for extra div.
Brilliant!! Thank you
Or for another method you can just add a border to the right float as well and then make the borders sit on top of each other with a negative margin.
border-right: 1px solid #CCCCCC;
border-left:1px solid #ccc;
I that way the border will always be as long as the tallest element
Oh that's a nice idea thanks you

The quality of a good training program is that it makes you u enough confident and knowledgeable to handle all sort of surprises that may arise in the exam.

The best part of Pass Guide training material for Riverbed exam is that it makes you capable to attempt the exam properly.

Have you had your child's vision tested?

If so, did you use a specialist optometrist with an interest in paediatrics, or just your local OPSM or Specsavers?

My 8 year old's vision has been checked by a behavioural optometrist.

Same here.
Posted 13 January 2013 - 05:16 PM
just the local OPSM. 3yrs ago for DD2 she was in yr3 at the time. She was bordering line needing classes, she was (and is) a prolific reader, but was having trouble completing her school work. the Optomatrist recommeded for her to not get them.
a week or so later, she was sitting at the kitche table and could not read a school notice that was on the noticeboard on the wall, DD1 and I could and DH could with his classes (also new) on. DD2 put on Dh's classes and could read it.
Next day i took her back and insisted she get glasses, her schoolwork improved greatly, and soon reflected her abilites.

DS9 first had an issue picked up at childcare by the Sydney Eye Hospital outreach program, and attended there for a couple of years. After a gap of a few years Dp took him to Specsavers, where he was prescribed glasses, and after 6 months new ones, as there ahd been a decline.
DS5 was screened via an outreach program, with no issues identified.
Posted 13 January 2013 - 05:20 PM
I took DS1 to our local optometrist, who has experience with young children. He was 3.5. We were also referred to a behavioural optometrist, but not for an eye check, although he did double check his prescription.
DS2 had a check with same one due to DS1's eye problems, & DD will too when she's a bit older.
Posted 13 January 2013 - 05:21 PM
Had DD tested recently because of some issues. We went to the local optometrist (not OPSM or Specsavers but something along those lines) and found them to be very thorough.
Posted 13 January 2013 - 05:23 PM
Just the local optometrist, who then referred them on to a paediatric opthamologist. I took DS1 as he'd missed the eye screen that gets done at preschool and honestly thought there would be no problem as he was an early reader. DS2 was taken because of DS1.
Posted 13 January 2013 - 05:31 PM
DS and DD were both sceeened through an outreach program at long day care. DD was fine, but they picked up a 'lazy eye' with DS. I'd noticed it a bit but hadn't realise dit was that bad. After 3-4 sessions at a local optomotrist and eye exercises at hime, his eye has straightened out.
I still take them every 2 years to be checked at OPSM or similar.
DD aloso had something similar to a sty, when she was around 2 which was monitored by a specialist to see if it went away on it's own. Took about 6-8 mths but it dissolved without surgery
Edited by Coffeegirl, 13 January 2013 - 05:33 PM.
Posted 13 January 2013 - 05:41 PM
I take my kids to the local OPSM at 5yrs before they start school. No expectation if issues, just knowledge DH needed glasses in primary school.
When DS1 was tested at 5yrs as DS2 was calling out all the letters too, they tested him too at 3yrs.
DS1 has just been retested at 7yrs and all is still fine. DS2 has just been retested at 5.5 yrs and us showing slight issue. They have recommended he he tests in 1yr rather then 2. I also get them tested for colourblindness as my father is profoundly colourblind (I am also on the borderline between normal and colourblind vision.
DH is red green colourblind too so will also test DD before she starts school). I will get the kids to do the detailed colourblind test before they sart high school as my deficit is in tonal variations so it only became an issue in Art for mixing colours and Chemisty in describing colour results of tests. Better to know and have it documented then try and argue blind with teachers (my deficit was only picked up 5yrs ago although I long suspected. DHs deficit was nt picked up until he was starting work post Uni).
Posted 13 January 2013 - 05:52 PM
Thank you all so much for your replies. DS (!0 years old, has ASD) has started squinting. It is difficult for me to ascertain whether it's behavioural (he's seen on TV or in a movie that characters squint to see distances and has started to copy it) or whether he genuinely has difficulty seeing distances.
I can't decide whether to go for the quick option and just go local, or seek out someone more experienced with children.
Any recommendations for eastern suburbs Melbourne gratefully received (via PM to comply with EB rules )
Posted 13 January 2013 - 05:52 PM
I initially had DS tested at my optometrist but wasn't happy the results were correct so took his to another local one who was recommended as being good with kids. She picked up that DS needed glasses and has been monitoring his vision for the past 10 months.
I will take my 3 year old soon to be tested.
Posted 13 January 2013 - 05:58 PM
When DS was in Kindergarten, his teacher wrote me a note that mentioned she had some concerns that maybe DS had a 'tracking' problem.
Given my eyesight history, we had him tested with my opthamologist and he got the all clear on all issues but I will continue to keep to an eye (pardon the pun) on him given, as I said, my history. I am short-sighted coupled with glaucoma. His next check is in 2 years.
If there is a history of eye problems in the family, then I think it is worth a check every few years or so.
Posted 13 January 2013 - 05:59 PM
Our local optometrist that both DH and I use. She started complaining in the last term of last year that the black board was blurry. We thought she was joking because she has always had great vision.
She now wears glasses for distance and watching tv.
Posted 13 January 2013 - 06:05 PM
DS1's eyes were tested by an eye specialist at the RCH. They were tested because he has had an organ transplant, is immuno suppressed, and had a virus which was giving him really bad conjuctivitis. They did the eye test and he passed with flying colours.
Two months later his teachers commented he seemed to need glasses, and should get tested. We took him to OPSM and discovered he is short sighted and he has had glasses every since (two years ago).
I guess my point is, eye sight problems can come on really quickly in middle childhood, and with all the exposure we have to the medical world, I think OPSM and any of their ilk does as good a job with eye testing for short / long sightedness as a doctor would.
However, if there is an underlying medical condition causing the eye problems you need to see a doctor, and hopefully your optometrist would be able to tell you that!

I have a congenital eye condition, so I requested paediatric opthamology appointments for my kids from the MCHN from the get go.
Posted 14 January 2013 - 03:08 AM
I've taken both of my older kids, including DS with Aspergers, to just a regular optometrist since they were 3yo. They've always enjoyed the experience and I've always found the optometrists really patient with them.
DD has been wearing reading glasses since she was 5yo.
Posted 14 January 2013 - 05:02 AM
DD had a turned eye so her problem was picked up real early and we only saw a regular optometrist mostly because thats all that was available where we lived (country WA) DS had his vision checked by a behavioural optometrist and was quite suprised he needed glasses! i make sure all kids get tested early due to DH needing glasses and DD

Justin Timberlake performed his first full show in three years at a private Super Bowl party thrown by Marc Cuban and DIRECTTV last night, and for lovers of the JT, the experience was a landmark moment.
Backed by a full band and four backup singers dubbed The Tennessee Kids, Timberlake chose the night to debut two cuts off his new album The 20/20 Experience, titled "Little Pusher Love Girl" and "Bad Girl". As the best kind of icing, Timberlake covered INXS' "I Need You Tonight" and was joined by Jay-Z for "Suit & Tie" and Timbaland for "SexyBack".
Watch the footage below.

It was a strange sensation.
One moment, Ratchet was working cap-to-cap with Torque and Gauge, moderating an energy spike in Groundbridge Number One's vortex, and the next he found himself slammed painfully against the Bay doors.
His first thought should have been "What in the scrap had happened?" but if that had been his first thought, it was subsumed behind the more difficult question of "Why are the Bay doors closed?"
The Bay doors were never closed.
"Ratchet?" A panicky voice called out. "Oh, hell. Triage! Anyone! I need a medic over here, now!"
"Dial it down a notch, Torque," Ratchet mumbled. For whatever reason, his audio-receptors were incredibly sensitive, but only to proximal sounds. Mystery voice aside, he might as well have been sitting in a sound-proof isolation cell.
A gentle hand against his medial plate compelled the old medic to open his optics.
Torque stared back at him. The 'Bot's narrow face-plate beamed concern, or perhaps empathy….but behind that—behind the obvious—was a sense of despair so profound that Ratchet could almost feel it in his spark.
Torque was arguably one of the most ebullient personalities at the clinic, second only to Interlink. To see him this way, on the verge of tears, was…disconcerting.
Ratchet puzzled over this revelation to little effect. His normally lightning-fast processor was laboring today, slow and sluggish like a space slug wallowing in tar. In fact, it took him a whole two cycles to realize that Torque was injured. The small, lightly-armored mech looked as if he had been thrown into a blast furnace. His mesh was scorched, quite horribly, and in some areas, entire sections of armor had been ripped away, exposing the underlying protoform.
"What in Primus' name happened to you?" Ratchet wondered with a gruff chuckle, the kind of don't-let-the-patient-know-they-may-actually-be-in-real-trouble kind of humorless laugh that he had been forced to perfect eons ago.
"You…don't remember?" Torque asked with a similar snigger that spawned a wave of apprehension in Ratchet's spark.
He shrugged off the feeling; it was irrelevant. "Would I be asking you if I did?"
Torque smiled at this. Unfortunately, given the depth of emotion flickering in his optics, the expression came out as a strange half-smile almost nearing mania.
"Well, your personality sub-routines seemed to have survived the explosion unscathed."
Ratchet's brow-ridges rose in startlement. "Explosion?"
The engineer nodded, but before he could explain, he was nudged out of the way by a concerned Triage.
The tall, red and white surgeon wasted no time scanning Ratchet from helm to trod, brow-ridges and lips leveled in concentration.
"Is he going to be alright?" Torque asked after a cycle.
"He will, if you stop pestering me with useless questions," Triage replied, tersely.
A second gruff chuckle erupted from Ratchet's voice-box as the uncomfortable feeling reasserted itself. "What are you both on about? I'm fine." He made to push himself into a kneeling position, but quickly discovered that his right arm wasn't responding well to his commands. And neither was anything else on that side of his body.
At first the old medic was confused, and then, as he reexamined his conversation with Torque, the faintest inklings of fear began to tug at his spark. Tilting his head forward to the limits of his neck-plating, he looked down at the rest of his body…and had to resist the urge to faint.
Sure, he'd been on the receiving end of hundreds of injuries over the course of his existence, but even the full-body shrapnel wounds that he received during the Praxian Stalemate couldn't compare to having an arm that seemed to dangle from his shoulder assembly. The plating on his right leg was in a terrible state as well, though at least the protoform beneath had remained intact.
"W-what happened?" He said, if anything just to focus on something else while Triage's long fingers probed the mutilated protoform mesh of his brachial cavity, removing jagged shards of metal and fishing around for neural cables in hopes of salvaging them.
Even in the absence of pain—the trauma had kicked his natural healing mechanisms into overdrive--It was horribly unnerving seeing one's insides exposed in such a way.
Torque sighed, heavily, and crossed two of his arms across his chest; the other two hung limply at his sides. "T-there was some sort of energy spike in G1," He explained. "You're an engineer, Ratchet. You know that natural variations in energon ionization can cause short-lived spikes in harmonic, resonance output. That's what we thought we were dealing with…originally." Suddenly, he paused and his optics took on a haunted glow. He opened his mouth, hesitated, sighed a second time, and lowered his head.
Ratchet's brow-ridges fell. He'd never seen the young engineer so distraught. "Torque…"
"I-I…we…you, Gauge, and I…we were trying to divert some of the excess energy to engineering…but we weren't fast enough and G1 exploded."
Ratchet's optics widened, surprise---and a fair amount of terror--dragging his processor out of the mire so that it could process information at normal transfer speeds. Looking past Torque, the old medic was horrified to discover that it wasn't just G1 in shambles. G2 was totaled and G3 was severely damaged. It might be salvageable, assuming they could harvest parts from the others.
Several folks from engineering as well as a few medics and soldiers were digging through the smoldering wreckage. What, exactly, they were searching for, Ratchet couldn't tell, but if the covered corpses in the center of the room were any indication, they were probably looking for survivors…or their remains.
The old medic's spark sunk and immediately he began to berate himself. True, it wasn't his fault - something on the other end of the vortex likely caused it to overload – but still, it rankled…after all, Optimus had chosen him to make sure the operation…ran…smoothly…
Suddenly, Ratchet's processor froze.
There was only one explanation for the sudden spike in vortex energy that he and the other engineers had observed and been unable to handle. And as the implications of this sank in, Ratchet slumped backwards against the bay doors like a suddenly de-powered doll.
"Vortex feedback," He gasped, placing his hand to his mouth.
Next to him, Torque's optics widened. "No," he shook his head. "No. No," He insisted. "If it were…that would mean that the Decepticons…" He shook his head a second time, as if to dissuade his next statement from lodging permanently in his processor. "It would mean that they somehow knew about the mission…or at least were tipped off about it at some point."
Triage paused and considered the two, smaller 'Bots, brow-ridges drawn with worry. "How could that be? Io gave the all-clear." He shook his head. "She's not the sort to blindly send our people into danger."
Despite all that had happened, Ratchet couldn't help but smile at his friend's comment. It showed a level of respect for his partner that he hadn't anticipated outside of himself and Interlink. But the expression was short-lived, and was quickly eclipsed by a worried frown. Io, for all her faults, was no slacker…especially when the welfare of her comrades was on the line. She was methodical to a fault, and he was certain that she would never have gone ahead with the mission if there was even the slightest suggestion that the Decepticons were aware of their presence.
Where had they gone wrong? When had they been found out? These and a myriad of other thoughts flitted about the old medic's processor, but after a time, he had to admit—and that was the damnable thing—that such considerations were irrelevant given the current state of the Bay and its denizens.
If they couldn't get G3 operational and retrieve their field team, then it really didn't who was at fault.
Ratchet lowered his head, wearily. "Where do we stand?" He asked, after a moment. "How many of our people made it through the vortex before the explosion?"
Torque shrugged. "I don't know. Before the energy spike, Gauge had me working line calibrations."
"I assisted Optimus and his guards when they returned through the portal." Triage offered, and immediately frowned. "Granted, I was outside of the bay, helping them unload energon cubes, but...." He paused, and his expression darkened. "I didn't see anyone else leave."
Ratchet's optics widened. Interlink had been one of the clinic volunteers for the mission, and if he wasn't in the Bay…there was only one, horrifying, alternative.
Triage looked up, and for a moment their gazes met. There was a strange glow to the surgeon's optics, almost sickly.
"Are you…?" Ratchet started to ask, but Triage cut him off with a shake of his helm, busying himself with his repairs.
Ratchet knew better than to press his friend for information when he was trying to focus, and so he set his processor on the next item of consideration. "Torque, what's the status on communications?"
"Down. The local hub's fried. It's going to take some time to get it operational."
Ratchet absorbed this information with a frown. In order to avoid detection, 'Bots involved with the operation had been using the Clinic's private communication channel to stay in contact with their companions, both in the field and in the clinic. It was assumed that these transmissions would go unnoticed, given that such frequencies were usually exclusive to medical personnel.
At least that had been the hope…
No! As before, he forced the worry back; fought his processor even as his higher functions were inundated by imagery that was much more horrifying than anything he had ever envisioned with Interlink. It was difficult, probably the hardest thing he'd ever been forced to do, but worrying about Io, and the others trapped in the Amertas Basin, would only prevent him from using all his faculties here, where he could actually do something. And just maybe be able to get them back. He sighed, feeling suddenly encumbered. "Torque?"
"Yes, Boss-bot?"
"Our first priority is to get the communication hub back online. Find Gauge, and anyone else with…"
"Gauge is d-dead," The engineer interrupted, voice glitching uncharacteristically.
"What?" Ratchet gasped.
Torque lowered his head and averted his optics. "She was closest to G1 when it exploded..." He said sadly. "I saw…" He paused a shiver traversed the length of his back-strut. "She just…" Eventually, he just folded his four arms protectively across his medial-plate and lapsed into a frozen silence.
Torque was Gauge's apprentice and the two of them had been working together since long before the Autobot/Decepticon split. Recalling his own feelings at the loss of his former mentors, Ratchet knew exactly how lost the young engineer must suddenly feel. Factor in, now, the fact that Torque had inherited the late femme's role as Chief Engineer…and he was surprised that the mech hadn't collapsed into a pile of quivering dejection.
Setting his jaw and lowering his optics, Ratchet rested his good hand on the 'Bots narrow shoulder. He could almost feel Torque's pain, and he wasn't sure if there was anything that he could really say to help him counter his grief other than a sympathetic "I'm sorry."
Torque accepted this with a nod, though he didn't look up.
Around them, tattered clinic personnel had gathered in a half-circle. It was clear from the look in their optics that they were feeling the same sort of helplessness, as if their emotions were teetering on the proverbial edge of a precipice leading into the dark environs of despair and anguish.
Seeing this, Ratchet pushed himself forward with his good arm, something that elicited a string of flustered curses from Triage. Then, to further show his resolve, to prove to them that he understood the anguish that was undoubtedly plaguing their sparks, he shifted his weight to his right side and, with a great deal of effort, brought himself slowly upright. His frame shuddered from the stress, but he was determined not to give into his injuries…or his despair.
That was the first rule of leadership: set an example.
It was a role he hated, but a rule he responded to and if there was any way to save Io, to save anyone and salvage this mission, he had to do it. Optimus had chosen him. If Ratchet wanted them to rise above their pain or grief, then he, too, had to rise above his. "Alright," He said, looking around, making sure to meet every expectant set of optics still functioning in the room. "Our first priority is getting the communication hub online. Torque," He nodded toward the new Chief Engineer. "Assemble a team and reestablish communications with Optimus and our 'Bots in the field."
For a moment Torque did nothing. But then their optics met, and whatever that intangible something associated with leadership that could transmit through the ether to cause an observable result seemed to lodge itself in Torque's processor, and he shook himself out of his despair with fervency. "Yes, sir!" He replied. Motioning to a few of the engineers in the crowd, Torque and his entourage hurried toward the remains of the hub and began to dismantle it.
The old medic nodded and turned his full attention toward Triage. "I've been dreading this question, but how are we looking as far as personnel?"
"Including Gauge, we lost six. Triage protocols have been enacted, though given the nature of the blast, it really wasn't necessary." He lowered his head. "You were the last on my list."
Ratchet frowned as yet another stab of guilt lanced his spark, but before he could reply, Triage continued. "As far as your injuries are concerned, I can reinforce your brachial armor with a splint, and repair your secondary neural cables to give you some basic motor functionality…but if you want to regain full use of that hand, you'll need to find a way to bypass the Bay's isolation protocols." The surgeon looked up and frowned at the imposing e'tchtarian doors.
Ratchet followed his optics. "There must be an override code."
"I don't pretend to know much about these things," Triage said softly, "But I've heard rumors that there is only one code to open the doors, and that the code is only known by the clinic's HMO."
"What?!?" Ratchet practically shouted. "You mean…Crossarm is the only one that can open the door?"
"That's what I've heard… and since you don't seem to know it, or even of its existence, it's probably accurate."
Ratchet's good arm flopped to his side. "Slagging wonderful." It was no secret that the Bay was designed to be a fortress as well as a groundbridge hub, and therefore it made sense that only a few 'Bots had been made privy to the codes necessary to operate the doors. However, he couldn't help but be flustered by the fact that no one thought it pertinent to relay said codes to him as Crossarm's surrogate. Did his CO hate him that much that he would actually neglect to pass on such vital information lest it appear that he actually valued Ratchet's expertise…? Or was he really that stupid?
"We're trapped in here, aren't we?" Triage asked, softly.
Ratchet lowered his head. A heavy, mechanical sigh fluttered across his lips. "It would seem so. Without confirmation from us, Prowl and Optimus won't risk Iacon's safety to open a bridge into the Bay…or the Amertas Basin." He met Triage's gaze. "Therefore, we're on our own."
"And so are our loved ones?" Triage remarked rhetorically.
Ratchet nodded sadly, but when he fixed his friend with a look of commiseration, he couldn't help but note the same sickly green tinge to Triage's optics. As they were alone—the remaining bots had moved on to assist Torque and the other engineers--Ratchet considered the mech more fully and noticed that his shoulder-caps and stabilizers were quivering ever so slightly.
Concerned, Ratchet asked. "Is everything alright?"
The surgeon shook his head. "I… I'm just tired." Gesticulating lamely about the damaged bay, he added. "The events of the day, you know." The mech allowed his fingertips to graze the surface of his medial plate. His voice-box hissed something unintelligible.
Triage blinked rapidly and shook his head as if snapping out of a trance. "Hmm…?" He asked, fixing Ratchet with a stare that was equal parts sad and confused. "Sorry. It's... just… I know…." He turned away almost abashedly, but given that he was also trying to exhibit at least two other discrete emotions, it gave him a look that could only be described as disheveled.
"I'm just worried about Interlink," he said at last over his shoulder-cap.
Ratchet nodded solemnly and had to force himself not to give into his own worries about Io. "I'm sure he's alright."

War and Wings Chapter 18 Part Two: Recoil
Continued from Part One...
Io's optics opened slowly as her higher functions re-initiated.
At first, she wasn't certain if her t'vre were operational because everything around her was hazy and dark.
Shaking her head, hoping that it would clear her vision—it didn't—she considered her surroundings.
The smoke—some strange combination of particulates and foul-smelling aerosols—was everywhere; thick and impenetrable. Even so, she got the distinct impression that she was underground, surrounded by large objects. Here and there were several writhing areas of blue light…possibly energon fires, and though it was impossible to gauge distance, this revelation was anything but comforting.
Energon fires could spread rapidly, and though Cybertronian armor was capable of withstanding high temperatures, there was an upper limit.

Awesome self-tanner!! from San Francisco, CA Verified Purchaser
I just got this yesterday and used it for the first time last night all over my body. It was relatively easy to apply (although I washed my hands throughout the application process to avoid staining them). I was so happy with the results that I used it on my face when I woke up this morn. I just went into the bathroom at work and was like, 'I look tan!!' I've been avoiding the sun for the past three years, so it's the first time I've seen myself tan in a long time, and I love it!! It is a nice, golden color, too--exactly the way my skin looks when it's really tan. The smell is nice when you put it on, but it does fade into that self-tanner smell after awhile. That and the price are the only drawbacks--well worth it in my opinion. Review posted 3/12/2012.

Very good, realistic color from a self-tanner from Ipswich, MA Verified Purchaser
The best quality of this self-tanner is that it contains a color guide that actually stains your skin (some of it washes off, but part of the color guide remains and is long lasting) and so the color guard tint adds to the DHA self-tanner color...this makes the resulting 'tan' more realistic than a DHA self-tan alone would be. Normally I avoid self-tanners with color guides as they tend to be messy, to stain clothing and look dirty, but this product's color guide actually has a purpose in that it improves the final tan color. That usually isn't the case, especially with most drugstore self-tanners. Also, this product has very little of that unattractive self-tanner scent. Lastly, because the concentration of DHA is quite high, you use less (one or two coats) to get a dark color, but you avoid being orange because of the residual stain of the color guide. The end result is a reddish brown tan color. This is pricey, but will last a long time and a worthwhile investment if you tend to turn orange with self-tanners. Good product! Review posted 11/7/2012.

Best Sun Tanner Ever from Overland Park, KS Verified Purchaser
I love this sun tanner. It's great to mix with the lotion of your choice. It has a bronzer in it as well as a tanner, so you can see where it is and isn't as you're applying it. It's very dark, so it lasts a long time, too. Review posted 10/10/2012.

Sun Laboratories by AA
I received this lotion in the mail last month and was very excited to try it out. I applied the lotion after taking a shower like it recommended. I LOVE this sunless tan lotion! It does not smell like usual sunless tanning products. The only CON I found was that it leaves your hands brown after applying, but washes away with soap and water. I tried using gloves, but I did not think it applied as easy and as smooth with them on. Definitely recommend it.

This is my all time favorite self tanner by MALGRIFFIN from BRANTFORD, ON
This is the first self tanner I have ever tried. I've been using it for about 3 years now and I've tried quite a few others including st tropez, fake bake and others and this is by far my favorite and everything else I have tried was just a huge let down compared to this. For me this is the longest lasting one, basically fool proof to apply it's so easy and does not streak. This is the only one I've found that will make me dark enough, and I just love it. Nothing has beat this for me yet. Review posted 7/24/2012.

I basically agree with the editors about the tax and spending reforms that Rick Perry proposed today, but I would emphasize the parts of the plan a little differently and so probably come out a bit more supportive of it than they do. Most commentators have focused on the tax reforms Perry proposed, since those are more detailed than the rest, and since Perry highlighted them more in his speech today. But I think the most important thing about this proposal is actually its entitlement reforms—and especially the fact that Perry has endorsed a premium-support reform of Medicare, which is an absolutely essential reform if we are to have any chance of getting our long-term government finances in order.
But let's begin at the beginning. In general terms, the Perry plan can be divided into three parts: tax reforms, spending reforms, and regulatory reforms. All three lack some specificity, of course, although for a policy proposal in the primary season I would say the plan is on the whole pretty well articulated.
The different parts should be analyzed separately, because they vary a good bit in terms of seriousness. It's easiest to take the regulatory reforms first, since they're quite standard conservative proposals on that front. Nothing too creative, but all sensible and good ideas: a moratorium on pending rules, an audit of all Obama regulations, automatic sunsets for all regulations, an annual regulatory budget, and a searchable public database of all regulations (which already exists, by the way).

Matt did a brilliant job repointing two walls of our house at a competitive price. I wouldn't hesitate to use him again in future.
Very professional in all areas and did an excellent job. They shared some good ideas about the future development of our garden along the way too. We will be using them again in the future.
Sebastian and his colleagues were fantastic. They completed the required work quickly and to a very high standard. The price quoted was just right. The team turned up on time and cleaned up after themselves - leaving the area in a much better state than when they had started. I would have no hesitation in recommending Sebastian and his team, indeed we are looking for them to do further work for us, and we have recommended them widely to neighbours.
Excellent workmanship. So good in fact we have asked him to do a lot more work for us. Friendly, conscientious, clean and tidy.
Stuart worked very hard and finished the job to a high standard and a fair price. Would highly recommend

Braves Wrap up Long Series with Mets
The Atlanta Braves will host the New York Mets Thursday night in the final game of their current, rare, 5-game series that started Monday night. After a "walk-off" win in game 1, the Braves lost both games of a double header on Tuesday, then bounced back with a 5-3 win Wednesday. The series was originally scheduled for 4 games, but an extra game was added to make up for a game that was rained out on May 4.

Role of Industrial Microbiology in Biotechnological ProcessesBY: Amna Adnan | Category: Others | Submitted: 2010-06-15 23:16:15
Article Summary: "Industrial microbiology is the field of science which uses microorganisms for various purposes like food preservation, wastewater treatment, bio-polymers etc. These processes are environment friendly and provide beneficial nutrients and components to the humans and plants..."
Industrial microbiology is the branch of biotechnology which makes use of the microbes for producing products of different kinds. These products are of great economic importance. All the processes which take place with the help of microorganisms are called as fermentation processes. There are a lot of things common in the terms industrial microbiology and fermentation. The products which are made through fermentation process using microbes are the intracellular or extra cellular enzymes, microbial cells and microbial biomass or the chemicals which are produced by microbes. Industrial microbiology is useful in many ways for example it uses microorganisms to degenerate contaminants of industry and other toxins into energy sources. It is a fact that 70% of the oxygen is provided by the microorganisms to the animals and humans. Oil spills make use of the bacteria to clean the oil and other activities like inoculants which are also used as biofertilizers and help in the production of biocontrol agents.
Role of Industrial Microbiology in Biotechnology:-
All the foods like yogurt, cream, cheese, coffee, chocolates and many other products are produced by industrial microbiology using the method of fermentation. Food industry is making use of bacteria for example probiotics. Bacteria like probiotics are playing an important role in the food industry and are responsible for the synthesis of many useful products.
If the name virus comes in the mind, it is always thought that they are responsible for causing disease like common cold. But in biotechnology, viruses can also be useful because different techniques of biotechnology like gene expression and delivery vectors make use of viruses in both animal and insect cells for different purposes.
Medicine and Healthcare:-
Microorganisms are also useful in the medical fields as they help in curing the disease of cancer. Clostridia are microorganisms which are used to target cancer cells when patient undergoes any therapy. They are responsible for inserting therapeutic proteins in the cancer cells of the patient which replace the damaged proteins and repair the cell function in a healthy way. Other microorganisms like bacteria are responsible for the synthesis of insulin for diabetic patients and they also help in developing growth hormones and many antibodies are also synthesized through microorganisms. It is a fact that there are very few microorganisms which are harmful for the environment or for the human health.
Bioremediation is another process of cleaning the environment with the help of microorganisms. Microorganisms help in degrading the toxins and wastes released from industries and help clean the water of the river and oil spills at the petroleum sites. There are different types of bioremediation like biostimulation, bioaugmentation etc which are used to clean the pollutants from the environment and waste materials from the rivers and seas. These microorganisms reside in the soil and make it fertile. As a result the growth of the plants improves and they are more nutritious.
Treatment of Wastewater:-
Industrial microbiology makes use of the biotechnological processes to treat the industrial and municipal wastewater. Microbes recycle nitrogen and methane gas through the method of fermentation from the wastewater.
Biopolymers include polyesters, polysaccharides and polyamides. These products are synthesized with the help of microorganisms. Genetic engineering has made it possible to improve biotechnological processes of biopolymers production and has made use of these products in different areas. Other processes also take place with the help of microorganisms like drug delivery, cell and tissue engineering.

The following information comes from an inside source...
- working to make it so Wii U can simultaneously support two tablet controllers
- numerous indications within the Wii U codebase that point to this
- RAM capacity and processor speed still not final
- Nintendo appears to be on the cusp of solving the technical issue for two player
- 4-player tablet support not likely
- "Nintendo now know they absolutely need to support two tablets. At E3 they didn't commit to this, but they know how important it is to make it technically feasible to support two screens. Even if that affects framerate, as a developer and player, I don't care. It needs to work. Developers will design appropriate games for this. If you're building a quiz game you're not going to give a shit about the framerate."
