text: I have a 2001 A4 1.8T quattro sedan manual that died a painful death. Basically the engine is blown and it needs a new engine, motor mounts, and possible turbo. The mechanic is quoting me $9k-$10k to repair it, which isn't even worth the cost of the car. Anyone have any suggestions on what to do with it? I've not sold a car before, so I've no idea what the best thing to do with it is. Sell it to a junkyard for whatever pittance I can get? Suggestions warmly welcomed. cheers, steve -- stephen lau | steve at grommit.com | www.whacked.net | gpg 0x09E5CD21

Storytime Session 17
There has been a two week break for the school holidays. Ask the kids to share any great books they read in the break. Or other exciting news!
Equipment: story bag, mouse puppet, 3 books
We guess what animal might be in the story bag today. There's a mouse in the first story too.
Book 1: Who Sank the Boat. We look at front cover and predict what the story might be about. Remind the kids about Mr Gumpy's Outing, another story about a boat. We read the book which has lots of questions about who sank the boat for kids to answer as we go. We act out the story as we re-read it.
We sing Old MacDonald Had a Farm, using the animals from the story.
Book 2: Bring on the Birds by Susan Stockdale. We read it and talk about birds we know. What do all birds have in common? All have feathers, and are hatched from eggs. Game: is a cow a bird? Is a mouse a bird? Is a penguin a bird? Is an elephant a bird? Is an emu a bird? Flap your wings and fly if I say a bird's name.
Book 3: We read some pages from the big book, Round and Round the Mulberry Bush, discuss the pictures and do the actions.
Evaluation: Lots of new children today, including babies and toddlers. It's tricky adapting things the four-year-olds like for the babies, but I'm hoping just the experience of being there will be good for the bubs. I found a CD player I can use for sharing a newly arrived picture book we can sing along with!

1) What is Chondrosarcoma?
2) What's the difference between healthy bone and Chondrosarcoma?
3) What are the risks of developing Chondrosarcoma?
4) What are the symptoms of Chondrosarcoma?
5) What locations in the body are Chondrosarcoma tumors found?
6) Why is Chondrosarcoma so rare?
7) Where is the best place to go to receive appropriate treatment?
8) What are the methods used to diagnose Chondrosarcoma?
9) What does "tumor staging" mean in Chondrosarcoma?
10) What are the different kinds of Chondrosarcoma?
11) What are the chances for recurrence, remission, cure and survival?
12) What would happen if no surgery is done to remove the Chondrosarcoma tumor?
13) Why are radiation and chemotherapy ineffective for Chondrosarcoma?
14) What are the possible long term effects of Chondrosarcoma Treatment?
15) Where can I find a support group of others diagnosed with Chondrosarcoma?
16) Are there any alternative methods of treatment known to be successful in curing chondrosarcoma?
17) Who is the long term Chondrosarcoma survivor who created this site?
18) Can I read other patient's stories here?
The information provided is from a layperson's understanding. It is important to check out the facts for yourself with your medical care team.
This site is being maintained by a patient who has survived Chondrosarcoma. I am not a physician. I have no medical professional degree. I am an average person, a patient, who has long term survival, and no recurrence of Chondrosarcoma for many years.
I have learned many things along the way about Chondrosarcoma. I am sharing here what I have learned, and providing as much appropriate information as possible to the best of my ability, and understanding in words the average person can comprehend.
It can be very confusing to research Chondrosarcoma on the internet. There are so many kinds of Sarcoma, and one can get confused sorting out the facts. Over the years, some of my doctors have taught me a great deal. I have attended college courses, including pre-med. I have learned how to do appropriate research on how to find authentic, peer reviewed scientific articles on Chondrosarcoma. I hope to save others from having to spend their lives trying to learn about Chondrosarcoma on their own.
If I can help just one person to get through their experience with Chondrosarcoma, then all my years of going through it alone, and never knowing another soul with the same diagnosis, will have been worth it.
The most valuable lesson I learned from my experiences with Chondrosarcoma? It is imperative to ask questions, get answers, then ask more questions and get more answers. Also, go for a second opinion if necessary, with those most qualified to make the diagnosis and treatment.
Doing this bothered me at first. I wasn't used to questioning doctors and insisting on answers, but it was worth it to be a little uncomfortable. After all, it was my life and my health at stake.
*Note: Chondrosarcoma in English, is pronounced ( KAHN - dro - sar - KO - ma )

I have been diagnosed with an enchondroma but the radiologist's report said a chondrosarcoma could not be ruled out. Accordingly I was referred to Sloan Kettering in NYC, and have my first appointment at next week. Have been spending lots of time informing myself. Just wanted to say thanks fort this blog. It is intelligent, candid, and extraordinarily helpful. I hope I can be as helpful to others as you've been to me.

Thank you, Joseph. I hope chondrosarcoma will not be your diagnosis, but if it is please feel free to join the chondrosarcoma support group. Good luck!
This is a great site. My wife has had severe pain in her left shoulder and arm area for that last week or two. It has been a dis-comfort for some time and has become far worse. Dr's keep brushing off as a link to her rheumatoid arthritis but she seems to feel this may be something more and even mentioned bone cancer to me yesterday ! I have blogged and come across this condition in line with her symptons and although an x-ray was clear, she is due to have an ultra sound scan in the next 10 days. I very much it is nothing untoward but knowing more about this condition and the possible successful outcome is a huge comfort.

Hello Alex,
I also have arthritis in my shoulder area and it always does wonder if I have a steroid injection. I was scared to have that done the first time, but was in so much pain and didn't want to take pain pills that I went for it, and have not been sorry. The procedure is a bit painful, but within three days I am without any shoulder pain like I had before.
I hope the ultrasound pinpoints exactly what is going on and your wife gets some relief. I do hope she does not have chondrosarcoma.
If for any reason there are still any doubts, perhaps a visit to an orthopedic oncologist would rule it out completely. They are the ones who are most qualified to identify and treat chondrosarcoma.
I really need some help.
My brother belongs to Kaiser, it took them two years after him complaining of pain in his upper leg he has ChondroSarcoma. He has had three surgeries, the 1st they scraped and cleaned the bone area the 2nd they removed the fimur. The cancer came back in his abdomen, that doctor cut it out but could not get it all. The cancer is back in the same leg behind the knee and I just found out it is back in his abdomen. My brother has been asking Kaiser to refer him to a Sarcoma center but they refuse. Do you know what the guidelines are for Sarcomas.
Thank You

Hello Sharon,
Unfortunately, it is common for people to go quite a while before getting properly diagnosed. It is no fault of the doctors. There are so many other conditions that can be considered as the problem. Chondrosarcoma is so rare that it is not always the first thing a doctor will think it is when trying to figure out why a patient has pain. I'm so sorry to learn of the recurrences. There are some doctors through Kaiser who are well qualified to treat chondrosarcoma. But, it depends on which Kaiser. At this point, I hope your brother can get to a sarcome specialist, either at Kaiser or elsewhere. I am very concerned about the recurrences!

Respected Madam,
I would like to heartfelt thank you for the noble cause you are doing. People like you are the reason why this world is still a great place to live. Your inspiration to others is praiseworthy. I myself had gone through this and had referred your site before operation. I am glad to inform that after 3 months I am completely fit and healthy.
Please keep up the good work. I could also contribute my story and hope it could be helpful to someone else and might also help to reduce some of the fears and phobia associated with chondroscarcomo.
Nikul Dadia.

The Nintendo GameCube era was a time of experimentation for Nintendo. It was during this time that we got games like F-Zero GX via a collaboration with Sega, Metroid Prime and Eternal Darkness. All of these are classic games still loved by players, but there is one game that Nintendo published for the GameCube that sticks out like a sore thumb.
Geist was developed by n-Space, who were under contract with Nintendo at the time. The game went through a period of development hell and was delayed numerous times, as well as undergoing numerous revisions. What started out as a horror themed sci-fi FPS eventually became a first person horror adventure that was a bit of a disjointed mess. The game had some great ideas, such as possessing characters in order to interact with the world, but it was badly handled and was a deeply unsatisfactory experience. The thing is, some of the great ideas the game had, have been used by other games since in some form or another, including Prey to an extent, and these were handled extremely well.
Geist's problems can be attributed to the horrible development cycle it had, and if given a new developer with a proven track record for success, the game could be rebooted and given a fresh start. There is new tech available today for game design, people are thinking outside the box, and the game's ideas can be made into a truly epic sci-fi horror game.
But what developer/studio could revive the IP in a successful way, and that Nintendo could trust? The answer is for Nintendo to look inward, as they have the perfect studio to work on it. Retro Studios works best on games that have a western focus/appeal more to the west, and if they are not working on Metroid or Donley Kong, this would be a perfect new project for them to handle. They have the pedigree for amazing sci-fi games and are masters of intricate game design. Moreover, they have the Nintendo design philosophy down pat and can be trusted to deliver a true polished game. People were skeptical about Metroid Prime at first but it is regarded as one of the best games ever made. Their Donkey Kong games are some of the best platformers ever made and have great attention to detail to the extent that they won people over, when they were upset at the idea of Retro working on that series.
Retro could make Geist their big epic project for the Switch and create a new experience for fans. It could be what the original was supposed to be, but on a bigger scale. Moreover, Nintendo is now more open to these kind of games and given the reception many of these games have, it would be amazing for Nintendo to have one of their own, designed in-house, with a top tier developer behind it. Geist had some amazing ideas that weren't used properly and Retro Studios is the ideal studio to take this IP and turn it into a success.

Have you ever heard of the Hunza people? The Hunza people look very young and to be honest, you will be shocked when they tell you their age. They live in the mountains, located in North Pakistan, and to be honest with you – they like they are people from another planet. The Hunza people are so special because they live an average of 100 years. I think that we should all learn from their lifestyle and their healthy diet. These people are bathing in cold water, even if it's below zero. The Hunza people produce their own food and they don't ever eat imported foods. The always consume raw vegetables and fruits, nuts, dried apricots, many different cereals (millet, buckwheat and barley), legumes and rarely cheese, milk and eggs. The Hunza people walk all day and they eat a little. These people never eat snacks.
"The Hunza has no known incidence of cancer. They have an abundant crop of apricots. These they dry in the sun and use largely in their food".
They don't consume imported foods and they grow and harvest their own food. Hunzas always consume raw fruits and vegetables, dried apricots, nuts, different cereals like buckwheat, millet and barley, milk, eggs, legumes and rarely cheese and they never eat snacks. The Hunza people eat a little and walk all day.
As a tradition, Hunza people don't eat anything for a period of 2 to 4 months. At that period, they only drink juice of dried apricot. The Hunza people are fasting in the period when the fruits are not ripe for harvest.
Medical experts are claiming that this fasting period and their diet is crucial to why they live long and have a healthy life. It is believed that the high amounts of apricots are the reason why they don't suffer from tumor and/or cancer. Apricots seeds contain vitamin B-17 compound which is known and powerful anti-cancer agent.
It is rumored that some Hunza people lived up to 150 years. Because of the healthy lifestyle and healthy diets they always look younger and their women can give birth at age of 65.
Story published in 1984 covered the arrival of Said Abdul Mbundu in London. Man from the Hunza people who've arrived in London and amazed the security officers at the airport when he showed him his papers stating that he was born in 1832.

Let time be your ally. That is possible with the use of Moving Average stock prices. Analysis of a financial times series can reap significant rewards for a stock investor. Observing a moving average helps smooth temporary anomalies in the stock price direction. The use of two moving averages of different lengths provides even greater insight as it allows the investor to observe the build-up of a new and possibly different trend in the short term. This is called a 'crossover.' When the shorter or 'faster' moving average crosses above the longer or 'slower' moving average it is considered a bullish development. When the shorter moving average crosses below the longer moving average, it is considered a bearish trend. The most typical of comparisons is a 50-day to a 200-day moving average.

The With the drummer's roots set in metal, the energy that you get from the kit is unmatched in modern indie folk/rock and yet still sounds and feels as though they are withholding, not due to a lack of talent or gut, but because the words and intent is better portrayed with a bit of restraint. Both Meric Long (lead singer) and Logan Kroeber (drummer extraordinaire) could wail beautifully for a full set but luckily the beauty of The Dodos lies in the meandering quality of their progressions, taking the listener from one extreme to the next with just 3 dudes (the third being the newest member and vibraphone badass Keaton Snyder). As you stand there, slightly tranced by the odd tempo of one of the most exciting drummers around, you get the feeling that they put a lot at stake with each of their songs. They don't make it look easy or monotonous, they make it look pained and exhausting, but for all intensive purposes, it should be. The interesting and at times ironic dichotomy of Meric's lyrics is perhaps the most unexpected aspect of this band. He plays love songs that neither promote nor disregard love itself. It simply is a love song because deep down you can tell he has/is in fact in love, but has no interest in gushing in the traditional sense. The live show is an absolute must-see, especially for fans already hooked on their infectious sound and luckily for me, I got to witness them in their own stomping grounds of San Francisco at one of the best intimate venues, The Independent. A lot like the feeling you get from listening to anyone one (of three) of their albums, the live show is completely void of gimmicks and contrivances. Indie rock at its purest yet grimiest form (the way its intended to be right?)…but hey, I'm already a shameless fan, judge for yourself. The Dodos will be on a non-stop tear through the U.S. all summer long opening up for the great New Pornographers.

Reader comments -- ahh, yes, the juicy goodness following a meaty post. [1.Local] ducks past the swinging doors to see what readers have been chatting about in the back room over the past week.
True confessions time: It really is that cool to work at WoW.com. We're a chatty team. You're probably already getting a taste of that at @wowinsider on Twitter, manned randomly by team members who're feeling particularly gabby. If you're a real Twitterati, you may be following individual staffers (listings available in the latest WRUP; follow me @eMused).
But the real WoW.com snark and hot debates go on behind closed doors. There's a chat room where everyone who's "on duty" hangs out - always good for a heated debate on mechanics or lore, as well as the inevitable off-topic romp on ... well, off-topic stuff. (Like Michael Sacco's post-dental work, Vicodin-inspired ravings, screenshotted above - but that's another story.) There's also the news line/team e-mail list, where nobody can ever seem to resist adding their zingers to the daily cacophony of annoyed moms who want us to cancel their son's WoW subscriptions, confused TV viewers searching for customer support for their cable service and clueless "readers" (do they actually read us?) who submit endless news tips on that awesome machinima nobody's ever heard of.
[1.Local]'s already all about the back room chatter – so we knew we couldn't exclude you from the best of the deep, deep backroom scoop at WoW.com. Look for a sampling of the behind-the-scenes staff insanity each week, mixed with the rest of the chatter on [1.Local]. Because without the insanity (and your tacit support), where would any of us be?

Whatever you've heard about Caraval, it doesn't compare to the reality. It's more than just a game or a performance. It's the closest you'll ever find to magic in this world . . .
Welcome, welcome to Caraval―Stephanie Garber's sweeping tale of two sisters who escape their ruthless father when they enter the dangerous intrigue of a legendary game.
Scarlett has never left the tiny island where she and her beloved sister, Tella, live with their powerful, and cruel, father. Now Scarlett's father has arranged a marriage for her, and Scarlett thinks her dreams of seeing Caraval, the far-away, once-a-year performance where the audience participates in the show, are over.
But this year, Scarlett's long-dreamt of invitation finally arrives. With the help of a mysterious sailor, Tella whisks Scarlett away to the show. Only, as soon as they arrive, Tella is kidnapped by Caraval's mastermind organizer, Legend. It turns out that this season's Caraval revolves around Tella, and whoever finds her first is the winner.
Scarlett has been told that everything that happens during Caraval is only an elaborate performance. But she nevertheless becomes enmeshed in a game of love, heartbreak, and magic with the other players in the game. And whether Caraval is real or not, she must find Tella before the five nights of the game are over, a dangerous domino effect of consequences is set off, and her sister disappears forever.
"Whatever you've heard about Caraval, it doesn't compare to the reality. It's more than just a game or performance. It's the closest you'll ever find yourself magic in this world."
I loved Caraval so much that I don't even know where to start with this amazing book! Caraval was filled with magic and mystery from the first page to the last! I had the pleasure of reviewing the Audiobook and it was so good that I could not stop listening!
Scarlett has always dreamed of going to see Caraval, a magical, mystical performance all wrapped up into a game where the Audience members participate. Finally after so many years of dreaming, invitations arrive for herself and her sister Donatella ("Tella"). Only now, Scarlett cannot attend because her Father has arranged a marriage for her. This marriage is the only way for her and Tella to escape their abusive Father and begin a new life together. But when Tella escapes to Caraval, Scarlett is forced to follow her, and once she arrives and Tella is missing she is wrapped up into the game and unable to leave until she finds her. Despite all of the warnings to "Remember it is only a game" Scarlett has trouble figuring out what is real and what is not.
I loved the World of Caraval! The way Stephanie Garber wrote it, you could feel the mystery and intrigue pouring off the pages. The shops, the streets, the people and the sights were all so magical and I LOVED every single second! As Scarlett traveled through Caraval I became pulled in and could not wait to see who or what would pop up next!
I am not even sure how to review the mystery of Caraval, all that I can say is that you will be amazed at what you find, the twists and turns will shock and excite you and if you think you know what is happening… you are not even close! It is just THAT GOOD!
"No one is truly honest. Even if we don't lie to others, we often lie to ourselves. And the word good means different things to different people."
There is a lot of hype surrounding this book and although I truly LOVED it there were a few things that I struggled with that held me back from giving this book 5 stars. One was the relationship between Scarlett and Tella. I didn't really feel the strong sisterly bond that was mentioned multiple times throughout the story and that could be because they were separated for a large part of the book and didn't interact much with one another. I also struggled with the romance, which was a very small aspect of this book and not a major theme. However, the budding romance between Scarlett and Julian left me cold, I am sure that was largely due to the fact that I never trusted him and was always wondering what his true intentions were. Those are just two small issues I had and they did not effect my overall love of the book in general.
I did like Scarlett a lot, she was feisty and strong and trying to do everything that she could to save her sister. She had me rooting for her throughout the book! I also did like Julian, despite never trusting him! He was witty and funny and just a tad abrasive. The banter and rivalry between him and Scarlett was very fun, I think I just saw it as more a friendship than anything else. Tella was probably my least favorite character because she just came off so selfish and self centered. We didn't get a clear view of her in this one and I am curious to see how her character develops in future books.
I think what amazed me most was my feelings toward Legend, the master of Caraval. I absolutely loved the mystery surrounding him! It added so much intrigue to the book, I found myself constantly wondering who he was and what he was up to. That is saying a lot considering for the majority of the book he is just a thought on everyone's minds, a whisper on everyone's lips and not a truly fleshed out character that you can grab on to. I cannot wait to see where Garber takes his character next and if we are given more tangible clues about him.
Stephanie Garber amazed me with her cleverness and her writing! I LOVED how she ended this one, there was a clear ending to this story but it was also left open for another book! It was so well done! It left me both satisfied in the resolution but SO excited for what is to come! I welcome more of this World and these characters! I do not know what to expect next and that is so truly exciting! Being wrapped up in this magical, mysterious world was so amazing and I cannot wait to experience it again!
"Every person has the power to change their fate if they are brave enough to fight for what they desire more than anything."
Rebecca Soler narrated this book and she was amazing! I fell in her love with her mad narration skills during the Lunar Chronicles and she has proven once again why she is a favorite narrator of mine!
Have you read Caraval yet?

Conjunctions, at their most basic, are words that connect other words and clauses together in a sentence. These include both simple conjunctions designed to connect and compare words and clauses, such as:
And, but, or, nor, for, yet, so
And words designed to be used as part of a clause, like:
Until, before, unless, although, without, because, while (and many more)
French conjunctions do not change forms. They are set phrases, and are used the same way when applied to any gender or number of nouns. That holds true even if the conjunction itself consists of multiple words.
In practice, it's not critical to recognize when you are using a conjunction in a sentence so much as it is that you must recognize that specific conjunctions should be followed with the subjunctive mood instead of the normal indicative present tense.
Note: The subjunctive versus indicative issue only applies to the "clause-comparing" conjunctions in the second example above. You can forget the "and", "nor", "but", "for", etc. simple conjunctions in the first example for the rest of this lesson.
List of the most common conjunctions
Clause conjunctions all end in que. There is a logic to the conjunctions that take the subjunctive, but in practice, we find it to be easier to memorize the indicative conjunctions first, since that list is shorter, and assume any other conjunctions we encounter should be used with the subjunctive.
Indicative conjunctions
These conjunctions, in general, convey a sense of certainty (with the exception of peut-être) about how things have taken or will take place. They probably look more familiar to you than the subjunctive list will, since French textbooks use them frequently in sample sentences and in vocabulary lists so that the authors can avoid addressing the rules for subjunctive conjunctions until that lesson comes up.
|après que
|aussitôt que
|as soon as
|parce que
|pendant que
|peut-être que
|tandis que
|while, whereas
Subjunctive conjunctions
Conjunctions that take the subjunctive generally express time, conditionality, purpose, negativity, or negative statements.
|à condition que
|under the condition that
|à moins que
|afin que
|in order that
|avant que
|bien que
|de façon que
|so that
|de crainte que
|out of fear that
|de peur que
|out of fear that
|en attendant que
|while waiting for
|jusqu'à ce que
|pour que
|so that
|pourvu que
|provided that
|sans que
How to get out of using the subjunctive in conjunctions
Many French students are wary of the subjunctive mood, both in recognizing when to use it and in conjugating it properly. Though ideally you would have a perfect grasp of the subjunctive, you can get around using it in some situations if 1) the subject of the first clause and the second clause are the same, and 2) that particular conjunction qualifies for the alternate structure.
The workaround for the appropriate sentences is to drop the que and add de + [the infinitive form of the verb].
Another example:
The subjunctive construction: Mon ami lit souvent de crainte qu'il devienne ignorant.
The de + infinitive construction: Mon ami lit souvent de crainte de devenir ignorant.
However, the infinitive shortcut does not work for the conjunctions bien que, quoique, pourvu que, and jusqu'à ce que. You must use the subjunctive conjugation or pick a different sentence structure.
In addition to learning the major French clause conjunctions, this lesson should serve as another example of how important it to learn le subjonctif well. It's easy to avoid in English, but it's really difficult to completely avoid the subjunctive in French.

I went out with this girl for about a month and anyways she began to flake me so I ended things with her. Anyways, a couple of days ago, I received a text message from her stating that she was sorry for not talking to me. She said she was not mad, but feeling kind of sad and did not want to talk to anybody and did enjoy hanging out with me. She then said again that she was sorry and can understand if I do not want to talk to her again. Finally, she said she is happy for my academic achievements and said I am very smart and will go far in life. My question is that should I respond to her or just ignore her text message?

There's nothing wrong with sending her a polite response, but I wouldn't recommend dating her again. The reasons you ended things with her haven't gone away just because she misses the pleasure of your company.00|00|0

Sisterhood of the hijab: Fort McMurray women show solidarity with local Muslim community
Seven Fort McMurray women are halfway through their month-long commitment to show solidarity with their new Muslim friends by wearing hijabs.
When they asked the city's Muslim community for permission to wear the religious head scarves, a local Islamic organization that hosts World Hijab Day YMM welcomed the gesture.
Kiran Malik-Khan, whose group holds an annual public event that invites women to try on hijabs, sees the gesture as a sign of solidarity.
"To us, these are women choosing to walk in our shoes, or in this case our hijab," Malik-Khan said. "It is so appreciated. It is sisterhood at its best."

What is a generator?
How will you
know which size will fit your requirements.
generator is a machine that converts mechanical
energy into electrical energy."
Regardless of where you are camping there just times
when you want the convenience of power. If no 240V
power is available, a portable generator is handy to
supply power for electrical appliances or to charge
up the batteries. Generators are available in
petrol or diesel fuel.
A few
common brand names are Honda, Yamaha, Onan and
If you are
having an RV built it would be a good idea to first
determine your power needs as this will then determine the
type and size of the generator you will need . The physical
size (external dimensions) of the generator will then
determine the size of the hatch required during the build
stage or if you want to have a customised box fitted to the
draw bar.
In the Honda
EU series generators, the EU10i generator is rated at 1000
watt AC/ 12 volt 8 amp DC. This can power such things as
lighting, television, video and a laptop. The EU20i is
rated 2000 watt AC/ 12 volt 8 amp DC and can run appliances
and charge batteries simultaneously. Pure sinewave output
technology is recommended for computer laptops and it is a
standard feature of these generators.
The Honda
EM50i and EM70i are the largest capacity inverter generators
in their class. The EM50 is has a maximum output of 5 kw
(5000 watts), and its rated output is 4.5 kw (4500 watts)
and the EM70i has a maximum output of 6.5 kw (6500 watts),
and its rated output is 5.5kw (5500 kw). Honda claims these
generators deliver better than commercial quality
There has been
a recorded fatality from carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning from
a portable generator which was located in an unvented
compartment with no exhaust system to remove the CO fumes.
The fumes seeped into the motorhome from a poorly sealed

recommend the EU30i (3000 watt) for motorhomes. The
manufacturer claims it features a microcomputer controlled
sinewave inverter than provides commercial quality
electricity. Other features are an Eco throttle and it has
the option for electric start and remote start.
Dometic TEC 30
Generator/Inverter – for large motorhomes
The manufacturer claims this to be the first
generator/inverter that runs on diesel. They state it
weighs 70 kg and is suitable for supplying many electric
appliances, such as the toaster and microwave, with pure
sine wave curve and all Dometic AirConditioners where there
is no power hook up. Power output is 4.5 HP and diesel
consumption 0.7 l/ph. The unit is operated and controlled
from a remote operation panel, will an illuminated LED
display, located inside the vehicle. If you need extra
power you can operate two generators in parallel. No extra
fuel tank is required.
known brands of airconditioning units able to be run with
the Honda 2.2i and 3.0i generators are Air Command, Heron
and the Wren range. The Dometic B1900 reverse cycle air
conditioner is another reported to be able to be run by a
2kVA generator. To enable the generator to start the air
conditioner it requires a 'boost' so you may have to shut
off other appliances including the battery charger (if any)
to obtain sufficient power to run the airconditioner.
If you
expect to travel in places where the temperature exceeds 40
degrees C then discussions on RV forums indicate the Honda
2kVA generator may 'trip off' when operating in those
extreme temperatures and needs restarting. You should then
consider if you will need a generator larger than the Honda
EU20i to run an air conditioner. One downside for RV'ers of
the larger generator can be their weight and size. So
ensure you make your enquires with the manufacturer to ensure
the generator will meet your needs.
Take into
consideration the power consumption of electrical appliances
when selecting them for inclusion in your RV and know which
appliances can be safely powered by a portable generator. To
prevent power overload note the power loading (wattage
rating) marked on the nameplate of your appliance.
Electrical power calculators can be located by doing a
Google search from the search
bar below.

Tom Haines is the staff travel writer at The Boston Globe. During more than a decade as a journalist, Tom has reported on economics, politics and culture in dozens of countries and on five continents. As the Globe's travel writer, Tom has covered guns and cricket in Guyana, trumpets and nationalism in Serbia, and Gandhi's legacy in rural India. In 2005 and 2003, he was named Travel Journalist of the Year by the Society of American Travel Writers Foundation. His story about an Ethiopian village facing famine appeared in the 2004 edition of Best American Travel Writing. A native of Pittsburgh, Tom now lives north of Boston with his wife and two children.
How did you get started traveling?
My parents have a picture of me sitting on a raft on the beach at Cape May, New Jersey when I was three years old. I'm looking out to sea, the water is about 40 feet ahead of me, and I'm just sitting on the raft high and dry in the sand. So traveling, I suppose, but not getting very far.
At age 5, I almost made it up Mt. Moosilauke in New Hampshire. At age 12, I got across the snow-covered willow fields before bailing out at the base of Mt. Bierstadt, in Colorado.
All of that, and many other trips between, served well when, sitting in an office building in Columbus, Ohio at age 23, I told a bunch of British colleagues I wanted to quit my consulting job. Well then, they said, you have to travel to Indonesia. And Thailand. And New Zealand. And Australia…
How did you get started writing?
My dad is a man of words and can recite poetry off the top of his head to fit a given mood or situation. I can't, but the point is that from the beginning writing and literature had a big role in our house. Hemingway, Fitzgerald. I didn't dig into it much growing up, but it lingered. More practically, my brother had been editor of our high school newspaper and I followed him in that.
It wasn't until the aforementioned consulting job — programming Cobol with a college degree in history — that I realized I may want to tap into that earlier journalism as a career. So I went to grad school, wrote about 4th of July parades and small-town murder for the Idaho Falls Post-Register, fatal fires, pumpkin patches, child-sex-rings and satellite schemes for the Seattle Times, and more.
Particularly at the beginning, I considered myself a reporter more than a writer. I was drawn to the stories and the writing of them more from the front end, out in the streets covering the news, trying to sort out how things were working and communicating that to people.
I still believe that the best travel writing, regardless of genre or style, is that which begins with careful, thorough reporting. Seems obvious, perhaps, but I'm often surprised how much travel writing fails to get very far out into the world.
What do you consider your first "break" as a writer?
Early on, I wrote a free-lance piece for the New York Times national section about a California school teacher busted for smoking toad venom. An editor, whom I've never met, moved the names of the four toads involved — "Hanz, Franz, Peter and Brian" — from deep in the story to the lead sentence.
It didn't hasten my career along, but it made the story better. It was through learning that and other small lessons about use of detail and emotion and senses to capture and convey scenes and situations that I began, slowly, to think as much in terms of writing as reporting.
I made a broader shift from more traditional news writing to so-called narrative writing while doing free-lance reporting in Europe for three years in the late 1990s. In between writing foreign news for The Boston Globe and others, I wrote first-person narrative pieces about going down a coal mine in Ukraine and wandering Serbia & Montenegro in the days after Milosevic was kicked out of power for The Atlantic Monthly online. The rules for those pieces were wide open, and doing them pushed me in a direction of writing more strongly and creatively about the experience of place.
As a traveler and fact/story gatherer, what is your biggest challenge on the road?
The following applies to a more open-ended cultural piece, such as those in the Crossing Divides series.
I believe good travel writing, as opposed to foreign reporting, or essay writing, or memoir, or whatever, comes with recreating the experience of place. That is, try to present a complete picture: factual, imagistic, emotional. Try to capture, in other words, the multiple layers of reality of a place. Economics and politics, religion and history are all critical. But so is the way people walk, or talk, or act in a group, for example. So is how the light changes by late afternoon, or the feel of a hot wind from the west.
How can one be alert and look for these and other things and not try to force them? How can one basically exist in a place in a way that things unfold naturally, while still reporting a story?
The basketball coach Bobby Knight once said, "I think we're in position to be in position." It's a good place to be, and when out somewhere for a story, it's what I try to do. Before going, learn a lot, but not too much. Have ideas, but not a plan. Essentially, aim for an informed ignorance, so that you can know the contexts beforehand, then let the place define itself.
That said, on the practical side, before going, I try to read history and literature. I talk to people who know a place, from academics to immigrants. I watch movies from that place, or listen to music, or eat the cuisine. When there, I take notes all day and try — usually unsuccessfully — to jot ideas and thoughts at night.
I interview people. Farmers and monks. School kids and government ministers. Rich and poor. I shift gears, too, to wandering and wondering with my hands in my pockets.
The challenge, of course, is to keep such things open ended while also focusing on elements that are relevant so that what you are exploring and experiencing is, in the end, a story about a place and the people who live there.
What is your biggest challenge in the research and writing process?
What to throw out, what to keep. What to focus on, when. Basic stuff, of course, but I think in drafting a story — and here I mean a narrative that tries to follow a true arc from beginning to middle to end — the challenge is to find the heat, and how to keep it burning. I'm not saying I can always do all this, but that is the goal.
Travel writing, unlike so much in newspapers, at least, is really almost completely defined by the writer. There is seldom a hard news hook, or even a thematic element that demands a certain structure or content. So it is up to the writer to choose what voice, what structure, what content will drive the story. Of course this is easier if the story recounts a specific journey — following the Tour de France, for example, or driving south to Patagonia. But even then, what is the story?
I think what carries the most weight on the page are intimate scenes and characters. The trick is finding those that drive the narrative and how best to frame them in context, while letting them be absolutely authentic.
When I look back at early notes of a story, or early drafts, it's amazing what never makes it to print. Whole episodes or encounters or scenes. The good news is there comes a point in the writing when the big block of formless granite that is a journey or experience somewhere takes shape and pieces chip off easily and you can try to polish those that are left.
What is your biggest challenge from a business standpoint? Editors? Finances? Promotion?
As a staff writer at a newspaper, I am fortunate not to have to worry about finances, promotion, or pitching stories. To the contrary, I am lucky to have incredible support, financially but also in terms of freedom and feedback to propose stories and pursue those that have potential, and to write in a variety of forms and ranges. Seeing the freelance market from afar, it looks to be daunting and demanding.
Have you ever done other work to make ends meet?
No. For most of my adult life — I'm 37 now — I've worked as a staff reporter at a daily newspaper.
What travel authors or books might you recommend and/or have influenced you?
I tend to read writers who are not considered travel writers. Eduardo Galeano. Ryszard Kapuscinski. Alma Guillermoprieto. John Steinbeck. I just started reading Denison, Iowa, by Dale Maharidge and it is, like all of his work, outstanding. Well-written, or course, but built upon careful, intelligent reporting.
What advice and/or warnings would you give to someone who is considering going into travel writing?
Do it because you want to engage with the world, not because it seems an exotic pursuit. It is a way to see the world, or a nation, or a state, true. But it is also an incredible responsibility, I think, to document the way people live and, at times, why, and show that to readers near and far.
What is the biggest reward of life as a travel writer?
Sipping tea with farmers on the banks of the Nile? Chatting with an elderly reindeer herder on the frozen Russian tundra? Watching U2 play "New Year's Day" before a frenzied stadium crowd in southern Poland? Firing a .22-calibre semiautomatic pistol with C.W. Quier in Enid, Oklahoma?
No … coming home and giving puppets from Mexico to my three-year-old son and one-year-old daughter, then slipping on a CD by Los Dandy's as my wife walks into the room, and all of us, for a few moments, go out on the road together, dancing and laughing in the early morning hours.

A type 1 Excludes note is a pure excludes note. It means "NOT CODED HERE!" An Excludes1 note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as the code above the Excludes1 note. An Excludes1 is used when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.
- chromosomal anomalies (Q90-Q99)
Information for Patients
Genetic Disorders
Genes are the building blocks of heredity. They are passed from parent to child. They hold DNA, the instructions for making proteins. Proteins do most of the work in cells. They move molecules from one place to another, build structures, break down toxins, and do many other maintenance jobs.
Sometimes there is a mutation, a change in a gene or genes. The mutation changes the gene's instructions for making a protein, so the protein does not work properly or is missing entirely. This can cause a medical condition called a genetic disorder.
You can inherit a gene mutation from one or both parents. A mutation can also happen during your lifetime.
There are three types of genetic disorders:
- Single-gene disorders, where a mutation affects one gene. Sickle cell anemia is an example.
- Chromosomal disorders, where chromosomes (or parts of chromosomes) are missing or changed. Chromosomes are the structures that hold our genes. Down syndrome is a chromosomal disorder.
- Complex disorders, where there are mutations in two or more genes. Often your lifestyle and environment also play a role. Colon cancer is an example.
Genetic tests on blood and other tissue can identify genetic disorders.

Trey_A, I'm only going to give you a pat on the back if you add or fix something WITHOUT breaking something that worked. We get a new map that everyone else got since launch and you fixed some minor issues I never dealt with, but they were there. Yah. But you took a hammer to the netcode. Again. The old netcode was tolerable. And you manged to totally ruin it to the point it feels like all my matches are against BRs who still use 56k connections.
Riley doesn't even jump anymore, he just needs to get within 10 feet of me and I have a have a heart attack (Thank god I got that operation done, since it's impossible to do now.) Same problem with knife users since they all have commando level lunges
And that quarter to half second game delay from MW3 is back. I lose EVERY knife battle and a vast majority of gun fight now even when I get the first hitmarkers.
Why? Why make something that works and break it again? This isn't even asking to go back to lag shooting. (Which is still the best choice since people with good connections aren't punished.) Or is this some scheme to stratify the wiimote and traditional controller bases to Ghosts and BOII respectively?
You don't want things to turn negative? Don't muck the few things that work up.
Man, no one can ever be happy..

Excuse me, when did it ever work? Seriously, for some of us it never has, but if its even worse, then for me its bye bye..
I haven't seen any noticeable change - it's still a great connection one minute, poor connection the next...all impacted by foreign players or players with poor internet. No noticeable effect of the patch on my end...

or players with poor internet.
LoL that is so not the case..
Of course it is. I have in-game bandwidth of 4,100kbps. I have clanmates who have 0.650 kbps. I've played with an ally who uses the internet from his cell phone to power the wifi on his Wii U. They really drag down the lobby connection. I've played with people from other countries (Brazil, Netherlands, Holland, France, Spain, Mexico, New Zealand, Australia, UK) and the game can be flawless until they join. If I have a hiccup in connection, I can cause lag. There is a definite effect if there are large discrepancies between player connections. I mean that's COD101, where have you been?
It has more to do with their servers or the WiiU or both, All my issues started with BO2. I have been playing with the same Americans for 4 years and never had these problems until BO2. You believe what you want, I haven't been any where. Just one thing though, lets not get hostile about it, my name isn't Nintendon't. I seriously stand by my statement, I'm not trolling you..
I appreciate your last sentence, thank you.
I never had an issue with MWR or MW3. My issues began with BO1 and then got REALLY bad with BO2. Ghosts is better, but not at the same quality as MW3.
Another thing is that it's well known that people experience different things and it's hard to pinpoint consistencies. I know people who have never ever had an issue with any COD. I know some who had no issue with BO2, but others did. Some had no issues with MW3, but others did. It's a very odd beast. I continue to not understand why there can be so many polar opposite experiences with this game. Like how some have had tons of buzz freezes with Ghosts - I've had one.
The difference in player connectivity is why lag compensation exists. If I am connected in-game at 4,100 and you are connected at 650, then lag comp kicks in. It doesn't throttle your connection and it doesn't slow mine down so we are at the same speed, it is the prediction of where I will be in a certain amount of time on the map compared to where you will be in a certain amount of time on the map. We all know that isn't perfect and since it is a prediction...sometimes those predictions are off. If my connection is solid and yours isn't, you will be communicating data for that prediction that is "off" and that in turn affects the predictions at my end - mine will be "off". So at times you will see me around a corner before you see me. Or you can head glitch real quick and I won't see you at all. Or you will somehow make it through all my bullets and stab me straight on. Of course there are other variables like their netcode and their servers, but the majority of issues we see, in my opinion, is the difference in player connectivity...aka "lag" and how the system compensates for that.
That said, I think the Wii U sucks at connectivity. I've done speed tests and it's slow as hell compared to any other device I have. I made a huge thread about all that testing back in the BO2 days. It was crazy.
That's why I play with a wired connection. Guess I am one of the ones without any issues.
I'm waiting for amazon to deliver my lan adapter, shoud have arrived today but ho hum. @ Magnum, maybe its the Nintendo network, since we now have to have an email account??

Amelie Mauresmo moved within one victory of winning a $1.3 million diamond-studded racket trophy on Saturday, beating Anna Chakvetadze 6-3, 3-6, 6-2 to reach the final of the Diamond Games tournament.
Top-seeded Mauresmo will face home favorite Kim Clijsters, who defeated French teenager Tatiana Golovin 6-4, 6-3. The second-seeded Clijsters has said she will retire after this season.
"Tomorrow it will be my last match here (in Belgium). So it will be very special," said Clijsters, the fourth-ranked player in the world who struggled with her serve before winning in straight sets.
For Mauresmo, ranked No. 3 and the two-time defending champion here, it will be her first final of the season. If she wins on Sunday, she'll claim the racket trophy which goes to the first player to win the tournament three times in any five-year span.
Mauresmo won the first set in half an hour before Chakvetadze, who lost to Mauresmo in Paris last week, forced herself back into the match.
"I couldn't find my rhythm," said Mauresmo. "I will have to improve tomorrow."
SAP Open SAN JOSE, Calif. - Ivo Karlovic rode a wave of aces to a 7-6 (5), 7-5 semifinal victory over Benjamin Becker on Saturday in the SAP Open, where the 6-foot-10 Croat is looking for his first ATP title.
"I was serving really good and it was the key to all my victories here, but also in the crucial moments, I returned also well," Karlovic said.
Big serves continued to be the key for the unseeded Karlovic, who also knocked out seeded Americans James Blake and Mardy Fish. Karlovic had 27 aces against Germany's Becker, who could do little more than guess at the direction of many of Karlovic's first and second serves.
Karlovic will face the winner of the second semifinal between American Andy Roddick and Englishman Andy Murray. Murray is the defending champion and Roddick won the event in 2004 and 2005.
Open 13 MARSEILLE, France - Marcos Baghdatis of Cyprus remained on course for a second straight title, reaching the Open 13 final with a 3-6, 6-3, 6-2 win over Jarkko Nieminen of Finland on Saturday.
The seventh-seeded Baghdatis, who won the Zagreb Open on Feb. 4, faces Gilles Simon of France in Sunday's final. Simon beat Robin Soderling of Sweden 6-2, 7-6 (2) in the other semifinal match.
Brazil Open COSTA DO SAUIPE, Brazil - Top-seeded Juan Carlos Ferrero of Spain will face wild card Guillermo Canas of Argentina in the final of the Brazil Open on Sunday.
Ferrero defeated Brazil's Flavio Saretta 6-2, 6-4 in the semifinals for his second win on Saturday.
Hours earlier, Ferrero ousted Italy's Potito Starace 5-7, 6-2, 6-2 in the quarterfinals of the rain-delayed tournament.
"This is my first clay-court tournament of the year and it's important to reach the final," he said. "I feel at home here."
Canas, in the semifinals of a tournament for the first time since June 2005, upset sixth-seeded Juan Ignacio Chela, also of Argentina, 7-6 (8-6), 6-1.
Bangalore Open BANGALORE, India - Defending champion Mara Santangelo of Italy justified her top-seeding, outplaying Olga Savchuk of Ukraine 6-1, 6-0 on Saturday to advance to the Bangalore Open finals.
Santangelo dropped service in the third game of the opening set, but was otherwise unstoppable during the 46-minute contest.
Santangelo now awaits the winner of the second semifinal featuring two unseeded players, Yaroslava Shvedova of Russia and Tzipora Obziler of Israel.
Mauresmo, Clijsters to meet in Diamond Games final
Amelie Mauresmo moved within one victory of winning a $1.3 million diamond-studded racket trophy on Saturday, beating Anna Chakvetadze 6-3, 3-6, 6-2 to reach the final of the Diamond Games tournament.

I know there's probably a perfectly good explanation for this, but I'll be damned if I can figure it out.
I know there's probably a perfectly good explanation for this, but I'll be damned if I can figure it out.
While this is purely fiction, I know this is where we're headed technologically and as a society. And this is also where I draw the line and the old man in me stands up and says, "I've had enough. Stop the world, I want to get off."
At the same time, I know beyond all doubt that future generations will think no more of this tech and welcome it into their lives the way we have welcomed cell phones.
In fact, this reminds me very much of The Reality Dysfunction. This type of tech was commonplace.
BTW, if you love hardcore SciFi, I would definitely recommend the book (the first in a trilogy). It's extremely violent and bloody, but the story is completely enthralling.
Teabaggers are incensed, but I think CNN was just calling 'em like they see 'em…
Two pictures in less than 24 hours? Max, you're driving me crazy!
…certain things are always in style.
The look on Johnny Crawford's face is priceless.
From Postmasculine:
Imagine you have a brother and he's an alcoholic. He has his moments, but you keep your distance from him. You don't mind him for the occasional family gathering or holiday. You still love him. But you don't want to be around him.
This is how I lovingly describe my current relationship with the United States. The United States is my alcoholic brother. And although I will always love him, I don't want to be near him at the moment.
I know that's harsh, but I really feel my home country is not in a good place these days. That's not a socio-economic statement (although that's on the decline as well), but rather a cultural one.
I realize it's going to be impossible to write sentences like the ones above without coming across as a raging prick, so let me try to soften the blow to my American readers with an analogy:
You know when you move out of your parents' house and live on your own, how you start hanging out with your friends' families and you realize that actually, your family was a little screwed up? Stuff you always assumed was normal your entire childhood, it turns out was pretty weird and may have actually fucked you up a little bit. You know, dad thinking it was funny to wear a Santa Claus hat in his underwear every Christmas or the fact that you and your sister slept in the same bed until you were 22, or that your mother routinely cried over a bottle of wine while listening to Elton John.
The point is we don't really get perspective on what's close to us until we spend time away from it. Just like you didn't realize the weird quirks and nuances of your family until you left and spent time with others, the same is true for country and culture. You often don't see what's messed up about your country and culture until you step outside of it.

text: Not asking the all-to-know of the test. Just asking, ( new and old testers ) do I need to know the 10 points only? Or the whole thing below it, or the 10 and the why section. The 5 points, only those or moreso. Do I need to know the extras word by word. Can I answer the 10 and 5 alone anymore? I've been looking these over for the past two days now. I've got a lot down, but I dont know whats really going to be handed to me in a few weeks. Any idea, new or old, what test is going to be handed to me? Thanks again.

Okay, when I get on my kicks I write anywhere from 4 to 10 poems a day, maybe more. This doesn't mean that all of them make the cut, or don't go through some heavy revisions. I'm just interested in other people's production.
I go through cycles; I'll write 5-10 in a day then maybe 1 a week, etc. O.o I'm weird, I know!
A breeze blows
with a slight hiss
If you listen
you can hear a voice
which is sometimes sincere.
Yet other times it just blows dust
with a quick wisp
which is soon gone.
The muse never reminds.
If we listen, we shall see
the wind carry our sense.
…………across the meadow and through the trees.
I write when it strikes and sometimes it is not for months and sometimes several a week.
When I first started writing I wrote up to 25 pieces in a day... all productive and good pieces. But I was not really eating right and wasn't sleeping. I had just lost my Mama. Now is another story... I may write ten in a day and then not write again for a month. My muse is a fiesty and funky little monster.
I know I don't really consider myself a poet, yet there are some writings and prayers...that some say sound like poetry?
Have you tried to sit down and write with the purpose of being poetic?
It really depends on how I'm feeling. There are days when I write several. There are also periods of time when I won't write any for a couple weeks or more. I have no set pattern.
I find this to be true of myself as well. I have just sat down and tried to write poetry but I find it flows easily when I just let it come to me. I may go for quite some time without writing a single poem and other times one flows out or several at one time.
It just depends on how depressed I am
My partner is a poet, (On Hub Pages as Astra Nomik) and hey - no two poets are the same. Every poet has their own style of doing things, apparently!
Occasionally, I feel an inner urging to write something beautiful, and then I do. Other times, I don't feel like writing at all (not often). Most of the time, I want to write something every day or every other day, but not all is published. Some languishes on the sidelines for awhile. But I'm always thinking and observing, creating in my mind!
If I get a fit of manic desperation, I can get pretty inspired. It's all about pouring the heart out so that the emotions dont get stale and stagnant.
always write straight from the heart and the words will flow without over thinking
Since I feel so much all of the time, I write at least 10 a day. I even wake up out of my sleep to write poems. Oh well...what can I say? My episodes gives me fuel
It really is different for everyone. I go for days unable to write anything and then 4 or 5 will spill out effortlessly. I've always been that way and have learned not to push it when the well is dry.
Never more than 2/3 a week.
Usually get a few out of me if I get on the wine!
Depends if I come across anything inspiring.
For instance, my poems Diamonds Aren't Forever, was written after I watched a BBC Science program called Wonders of the Universe on the subject of Entropy. Turns out Diamonds really aren't forever.
Whereas, We Are All Stars, was written after playing a game called Falling Stars on Kongregate.com.
Simple things- Simple Minds!
Unlike many others, my own process is slow and I edit myself ruthlessly. I find that the best poems are those that contain nothing but that which is essential.
You mentioned "word vomit" and that's just what it is. But it's not only you who's doing the vomiting. It's all writers and all rough drafts. Many would-be poets, however, believe their writing is 'good' right out of the box, simply because they wrote it. They fall in love with their own words, which is a dangerous practice indeed. They believe that pure emotion is the only necessary ingredient for a worthwhile poem. I say worthwhile, not to discount the therapeutic nature of unedited poetry, but worthwhile from a purely academic standpoint.
There is no doubt that a 'writer' may consider an unedited first draft to be 'poetry,' but in truth, it would not survive as such within the larger artistic framework.
Nothing truly worthy of being considered poetry ever materialized without a good deal of deleting and adding and rearranging. Take my word for it. The delete button is a writer's best friend. One who rarely employs it is forever doomed to being just another hack.
I can go without writing for years, and then one day I sit down and it all comes out. I don't worry about it. I let it happen when it happens. I trust that it will happen again because I know it's a part of me.
My poems are usually triggered by an experience, a thought, a pretty girl or a picture of one. A piece of music a beautiful scene, well almost anything really. I do have to get them down quickly though, before I lose the urge. Have tried roughing them out before on paper but doesn't work as well for me.
Depression tends to cause me to lose concentration and focus, so once started I just have to finish it and publish it as it is, then if needed tweak it later.

Biology is one of the original natural sciences, even reaching back as far as the study of anatomy in ancient Egypt, where evidence has been found of surgery, forensics, and anatomical knowledge of both organ structure and function. Biology in general is the study of life and living organisms, with specific attention to function, growth, evolution, identification and taxonomy. Modern biology is becoming an interdisciplinary field, overlapping with biomedical engineering, molecular chemistry, and genetics. The biological sciences recognize the cell as the basic unit of life, and DNA as the basic unit of heredity. Moreover, all organisms survive by consuming and transforming energy via respiration or photosynthesis, and by regulating their internal environment via homeostasis.
The life sciences are defined by the scale at which organisms are studied, in that biochemistry focuses on chemical processes of life while molecular biology involves molecules and protein synthesis. Cellular biology may be broken down further into a structural analysis of cell organelles and lipid membrane boundries, such as in skin tissue or alveolar sacs in the lungs. In the field of genetic engineering, DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) may be spliced together from different organisms, in an attempt to transfer hereditary traits that may increase crop yields, create a supply of stem-cells, or even clone sheep. Beyond major requirements within the evolutionary biology department, you may consider Housatonic Community College oceanography classes as a complementary elective to your primary course of study.
