frecklescpa, 2/3 comparing two items such as debt and equity is not two thirds or 66.7%. But it means 2 parts debt compared to 3 parts equity which means there are 5 parts (2+3) total. So debt is really 2/5 (40%).
Thanks!! Now I get it!!! Duhh!!!
Okay. So, I took BEC on Feb. 12. All I can say is that MCQs were more difficult than I expected, but the WC were not too bad. WC were easy compare to the set of MCQs I've got. I budgeted 30 mins for the first testlet because I thought that they're easy, and I can get easily answer them in less than 30 mins. Oh man! It took me 45 mins to finish the first testlet! That made me a little disoriented and couldn't focus. On the second testlet, I strategized and managed to recollect myself. I thought that if I kept doing what I was doing on the first testlet, I would not have enough time for the writting part. So what I did was, I answered all the theory questions first then did the questions that require computations last. I recovered some of the time I've lost from the first testlet. And I did the same strategy on the third testlet. It gave me a little more than one hour to do the WC. The writting portion were not that difficult at all, but I used all the seconds that I had left for the writting part. Well, good luck to all of you who are preparing to take the exam!
So, I've officially met the motherload... Variance Analysis. Surprisingly,
I have a great handle on DM & DL
"Price Variance" = (AP-SP)AQ
'Efficiency Variance" = (AQ-SQ)SP
HOWEVER, The Overhead Variances just brought my hopes back down... Does Becker cover this Variance in depth (Level 1, 2, 3...) or does it mention anything about skipping or just knowing basics etc.??? Sorry, just overwhelmed with this aspect of it... They give me like 6 different formulas... for this Mnfg. Product Cost Variance alone!
This is what I used for variances which is partially from Yaeger's notes. Memorize the matrix and not forumlas. When looking at the matrix below, you will see when one compares prices then it is Spending Variance and when one compares quantity then it is Efficiency Variance. So when you learn that principal then you don't have study hard to memorize the variances' names ... just have to memorize the matrix.
For DM, DL, & Variable OH Variance:
AQ x AP =
. . . . . . . . . . . > Variable OH Spending / DM Price / DL Rate Variances
AQ x SP =
. . . . . . . . . . . > Variable OH Efficiency / DM Qty / DL Efficiency Variances
SQ x SP =
Fixed OH Variance:
AQ x AP =
. . . . . . . . . . > Fixed OH Spending (Budget) Variance
Budget =
. . . . . . . . . . . > Production (Volume) Variance - Not controllable
SQ x SP =
4-Way OH Variance = the four variances listed above
3-Way OH Variance = combine the spending into 1 & leave the other two
2-Way OH Variance = combine the first 3 which are controllable variances & leave the last one which is not controllable.
Is there anyone around Tysons/Reston, Virginia area who is studying for BEC?
How are you guys memorizing all of these new terms? I literally just typed up 40 terms I have no idea what they were such as: Floating exchange rate, transfer pricing, export subsidiaries, Keynesian theory, etc.
This is crazy.
Random post before calling it quits for the night.... Exam day is getting closer and closer... I've never wanted to sit for an exam more than I do for this BEC Rematch! I am still scoring lower than I'd like to be in B1 (Becker) in my Progress Tests, and I shouldn't be, it's easy stuff! Ughh... Also need to work on B3 more, I seem to have a common theme of screwing up the Activity Based Costing...
@no.cruncher - I'll try to give some OH Variance Analysis help tomorrow when I am not feeling crossed eyed from studying! You have to learn the "ABA BSA" ("I have to study, leave me alone." "I am Busy") nemonic for the 3 way variance, which makes solving for the 1 and 2 ways variances easier.
samdiegoCPA - good question. I'm not. All this crap is impossible to memorize. I would just read it through. If they're going to ask you a question about the Keynesian theory then it would have to be something simple (i.e. what is it?). Obviously you should focus on the big topics (cost accounting, financial management, etc.), but if they're willing to ask something obscurely random then I'd just take my chances. If you haven't seen it before then odds are everyone else hasn't either.
I'm just glad I'm through the computational stuff in Becker (I think). Stuff's brutal. Not extraordinarily hard, just impossible to convince yourself that you actually should care about learning it.
To add to the frustration of this unbelieveable section, I worked C-V-P (Cost Volume Profit) problems last night and right now, and what should be straight forward, is incredibly complex!!! WTF!!!
I'm truly stunned by this Cost Accounting section, my two week plan to review Economics, Financial, & IT are @ risk. I hated cost in College, and my feelings have not changed!
Should it be 60 points for MC questions and 40 points for Simulations or 85/15? I am confused...
@wondersherry, it is 85/15.
Alright... Tomorrow is the big day, my rematch against BEC... Finally almost here... I've never felt so calm going into a section before. I am taking this as a sign that I am confident and ready to tackle this thing. I will pass BEC tomorrow. I will become a CPA.
You got this! Best!
is wiley HW book that come with roger review enough or should i go through Wiley test bank !! any one try them ?
Thank you @no.cruncher!! :)
Computing Equivalent Units are KILLING ME! Concept is two pages in my book, and very straight forward, but the MCQs are just WOW!!! Any pointers?
Just sat for BEC.... Second time, first time was a 73 in November 2012.
I am scared that I actually got a lower score this time.
Fatma, I think the Wiley book is enough; although I would work the questions 2 or 3 times each or until you have a clear understanding of the answers. I believe the reworking the questions in the Wiley book provides a greater benefit than working new questions.
So after 4Hrs. on like 25 MCQs... Can someone confirm or deny my comprehension of Calculating Equivalent Units of Production (EUOP)
1. Must Consider EUOP METHODs
i. Weighted Average Method (WA) = 0 + FG100% +EWIP%
ii. FIFO Method (FIFO) = (BWIP%) + FG100% + EWIP%
2. Must Consider: Material% Depends on if added @ Beg. or End of Production:
a. "MATERIAL EUOP"
i. If, Added @ Beginning of Process @ B/EWIP100%
WA Material = FG100% + EWIP100%
FIFO Material = (BWIP100%) + FG100% + EWIP100%
ii. If, Added @ End of Process @ B/EWIP0%
WA Material = FG100% + EWIP0%
FIFO Material = (BWIP100%) + FG100% + EWIP0%
3. Must Consider: Conversion% Depends on % Completed
a. "CONVERSION EUOP"
i. WA Conversion = FG100% +EWIP%
ii. FIFO Conversion = (BWIP%) + FG100% + EWIP%
4. Total Production Costs per EUOP (TC/UOP) = Material Cost / EUOP + Conversion Cos / EUOP
a. Total Material Costs/EUOP
i. Material WA TC / EUOP = (Material: Beg. Costs + Current Period Costs) / (WA Material EUOP)
ii. Material FIFO TC / EUOP = (Material: Current Period Costs) / (FIFO Material EUOP)
b. Total Conversion Costs
i. Conversion WA TC / EUOP = (Conversion: Beg. Costs + Current Period Costs) / (WA Conversion EUOP)
ii. Conversion FIFO TC / EUOP = (Conversion: Current Period Costs) / (FIFO Conversion EUOP)
c. Total Production Costs per EUOP, Depends on Method Employed
i. WA Total Production Costs = Material WATC/EUOP + Conversion WATC/EUOP
ii. FIFO Total Production Costs = Material FIFOTC/EUOP + Conversion FIFO/EUOP
Sorry, just super frustrated, and had to put it all together from working MCQs and not the oversimplified explanations in the chapter read :( So if anyone could confirm, correct, or provide better explanation that would be AWESOME!!!
No.cruncher, I can't help. I assume you are using Becker because steps 1 to 3 look Greek to me (I have no idea what B and E is before WIP). But step 4 looks right. A hint that I heard someone say, is WA includes units and costs from all periods and FIFO only includes units and costs in current period.
@Carver7 thanks anyway. I know that concept you just mentioned, and it read as such in the text, but as I worked the problems, it totally did not apply, which is why I'm so frustrated with this section. My mind was set on that frame of though, and it totally backfired!
In any case:
BWIP = Beginning Work In Process
FG = Finished Goods
EWIP = Ending Work in Process
*Also your supposed to subtract out BWIP supposedly instead of adding it in FIFO, and I guess you ignore it in WA...
TC = Total Cost
EUOP = Equivalent Units of Production
Thanx for the advice
My exam is tommorow .. and i am little bit afraid from the writing questions, espicially if they came from the IT chapter, though i heared from alot of my friend that is becker is not covering everything in BEC..
LOL, please immediately go to bed! Do you have a test today?! or is it actually on Monday?
At any rate, stop worrying at this point, try your best to put forward your best educated guess if do not know an exact answer. After all, some of the questions are pre-test, i.e. not graded. So relax and good luck!
p.s. I'm staying late myself working on AUD progress tests, but my exam is 9 days away.
@no.cruncher, I think you're making the equivalent units harder than they need to be:
- Weighted Average:
Completed and Transferred Out - 100%
+ (End WIP x % Completed)
= Equivalent Units
- Because you did not include the beginning costs in the calculation, you do in the next calculation:
Beginning Cost + Current Costs / EU = Weight Average
Beg.WIP x % To Be Completed
(Units Completed - Beg. WIP)
End. WIP x % Completed
- Because you DID include the beginning costs in the calculation, you do not in the next calculation:
Current Costs / EU = FIFO
Best of luck and I hope this helps!!
@I Want My Life Back 10.12
thanks for that... looks easier to remember how you typed it out. I am getting all these formulas so mixed up, but I've only gone through all the material once so far. Going to pound it out this week and go over it all a ton and write out everything. ugh, this section has so much stuff that is HARD for me to remember because none of it flows together.
@samdiegoCPA - I am glad you found the way I wrote it out t be helpful :)
To your second point, but none of the topics being connected… I felt that way my first time through BEC, but my second time through the material I tried to connect the dots between the sections in chapters, maybe this will help you…. Think of BEC for what it is, Business Environment Concepts… Think of all the little things that you need to capture and address when running a business… at a high level, you'' need to:
- Develop a Board of Directors and an Audit Committee, that will need to know their roles, responsibilities, determine a financial expert, etc.
- Determine the framework for your internal controls procedures and policies and monitor them
- Create a means of measuring your employee's performance and the impact of those measures on their behavior
- How the employees will be compensated
- How your products, services and business will be budgeted and measured
- How globalization and economics will affect your business and the ways you will need to adjust and account for this
- You'll need to analyze your risks and opportunities, develop strategies, implement and monitor them
- You'll need to invest and leverage your capital and investments to continue to generate growth and then be able to analyze and interrupt your investments
- Processes and Projects will need to be managed
- Create an information & technology environment for your business to run and operate
Try to think of the entire business environment and how these little areas equate to a well organized running company.
Good luck!
Anyone know if they still test business structure like partnership and business entity questions on the bec exam ? I saw them on the 2006 released questions but my gleim study guide did not mention anything about this topic.
@goldenpeanut am using reoger and i don't see any thing about them !
any one know how IT question look like ?? Wiley questions freak me out !! can't memorize all of this information !
IT in AUD were real straight forward and very general, and am anticipating the same for BEC, though I could be in for a shocker.
in BEC the IT stuff is much more and harder
in BEC the IT stuff is much more and harder
Hi everyone,
How relevant is the hedging/foreign currency topic on the BEC exam? I'm having a hard time understanding the concepts ughh
@Fatma, thanks for the heads up :(
@AnnaMay84, not sure how relevant it will be, but I agree with you, it's real hard to soak in on a first read :(
@no.cruncher am sorry but it said 19% to 20% of the exam is tested in IT :(( you should keep attention to it
goldenpeanut, the business structures like partnership and other business entities was all moved to REG so you don't have to worry about it for BEC.

[SET] name: Life Orb move 1: Psychic move 2: Flamethrower move 3: Grass Knot move 4: U-Turn item: Life Orb ability: Levitate nature: Naive evs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe [SET COMMENTS]
This set combines Azelf's great movepool with the ability to switch moves as well as hitting hard off the bat. Thanks to Azelf's great Special Attack and blistering Speed this set can easily finish off teams once its Pokémon are weakened and faster Pokémon or ones with priority have been Paralysed or killed. Psychic is a strong STAB move that is much more useful now Chansey and Alakazam have left UU. Flamethrower hits the Steel-types that resist Psychic such as Cobalion, Bronzong, Bisharp and Escavalier. Grass Knot provides additional coverage by hitting the omnipresent bulky waters in UU such as Suicune, Blastoise and Swampert, as well hitting Rhyperior for 4x damage. U-Turn allows Azelf to scout its counters early game, weakening them for its sweep and provding momentum for the team in general.
 [ADDITIONAL COMMENTS]
 The EVs are simple. Max Special Attack and max Speed with a Naive Nature grant Azelf the ability to hit hard and fast, and the negligible remainder is put into Defense to give Azelf a slimmer of durability. It is important to note that this set functions best late-game when the opponents team has been weakened because a Life Orb is not enough for Azelf to do extensive damage to certain walls. Therefore entry hazard support is greatly appreciated because it means that the opponents team will be worn down even more by all the switching U-Turn causes.

 Although Krookodile and Victini are less of an issue thanks to U-Turn, this set must still be extremely wary of Houndoom who takes little from any of Azelf's attacks (and appreciates a Flamethrower). Bulky waters such as Swampert or Blastoise make great teammates for Azelf because they take out the aforementioned Pokémon, Swampert can set up Stealth Rock and Blastoise can spin away rocks. Entry hazards are essential for this set to work and therefore Pokémon such as Scolipede and Deoxys-D make good teammates thanks to their ability to get hazards through Speed (Scolipede) and bulk (Deoxys-D).

Everything has a price, including personal shortcomings, in the game of baseball.
This piece isn't really about domestic violence. Nor is it ultimately about Aroldis Chapman, although the erstwhile Red is one of its central characters. When the Reds traded Chapman to the Yankees for prospects and the privilege of not having to deal with his domestic violence investigation any further, it became clear that the edges of baseball's free market were brushing up against baseball's humanity in a way as interesting as it was alarming. So this piece is about the opportunities baseball seeks, and the prices we pay for them.

Your favorite team could trade for Mark Melancon and Todd Frazier. What a time to be alive!
Pirates would move Mark Melancon in the "right deal"
With free agency on the horizon after the coming year, Melancon wouldn't command the same sort of package that Kimbrel—extension through 2017 with a 2018 club option—or Giles—under team control through 2020—did, but the 30-year-old has the whole "proven closer" thing going for him, and the trade-market supply is rapidly dwindling. Two names are already off the board, and a third, Aroldis Chapman, might be untouchable for all the wrong reasons, with domestic-violence accusations casting a shadow over his character and uncertainty over his availability for part of the 2016 season.

Rant or no rant, it hasn't been a great month for the Reds manager.
Bryan Price went rather out of his mind for a little over five minutes Monday. There's certainly nothing good to be said about Price in this: his harangue of C. Trent Rosecrans was unprovoked and abusive, ranking somewhere just behind Hal McRae's violent tantrum some 20 years ago in the all-time ranking of regrettable managerial behavior. Venting about an umpire or a fan base or a dirty slide is one thing; a direct, unwarranted five-minute rebuke of a fellow professional is another. Price's apology was 10 times too soft for my taste, as was the Reds' apparent willingness to shrug off the incident without some form of disciplinary action. Still, everyone has ugly moments, and perhaps it's for the best that everyone appears to be moving on from this one.
Still and all, I think we should have a non-rant-based conversation about Price, who has been employed as an MLB pitching coach or manager for 15 seasons now, almost perfectly continuously. He was the Mariners' pitching coach from 2001-06, migrated to Arizona from 2007 through early 2009 (when he resigned in support of fired manager Bob Melvin), then took over the Reds pitching staff after that season. He turned around the Reds, although one could also say that the Reds' scouting and development teams turned around the Reds. In either case, Reds pitchers had a remarkable run from 2010-2013. Price successfully developed Mike Leake as a big-league starter without Leake spending a day in the minors. Homer Bailey made start-stop progress for a time, but eventually broke out, under Price's tutelage. In 2012, the Reds' top five starters (Johnny Cueto, Mat Latos, Bronson Arroyo, Bailey and Leake) made 161 of their 162 regular-season starts, and only a doubleheader cost them the other game. The team's bullpen was one of the deepest and most dominant in the league in 2012 and 2013, despite relying somewhat heavily on cast-offs and guys who waited until their late 20s or longer to make good in the big leagues.

Tony Cingrani might finally be in the position where he's most likely to succeed, but the Reds aren't.
Tony Cingrani is headed to the bullpen for the Reds. He's not happy about it, but that's where he's going. Cincinnati manager Bryan Price announced as much on Monday; Chris Mosch covered the transition in Tuesday's Rumor Roundup. With Homer Bailey starting the season on the disabled list, there are three open spots in the Reds' rotation, but Cingrani will no longer compete for one of them. Instead, Price will select three of Raisel Iglesias, Anthony DeSclafani, Paul Maholm and Jason Marquis to chug through opponents' first 18 or 20 batters early in the season.
It would be too harsh to call this decision stupid or unconscionable, but it seems too little to simply call it wrong. Even if Cingrani weren't angry about the change, the Reds would have dropped the ball. Chris gave a quick overview of the reasons for the switch—Cingrani's extreme, fastball-heavy approach, his troublesome medical track record, and the team's desire to plug permanent solutions into the two permanently vacant rotation spots, rather than get caught in a numbers game when Bailey returns and lose Marquis or Maholm in the process. It's easy enough to see what the Reds are thinking here. That's why it's so frustrating that they missed the mark so badly and botched the decision.

The Reds move the promising young pitcher to the bullpen, while the Mets have an eye on Brian Matusz.
Reds moving Tony Cingrani to bullpen
Cingrani's deceptive delivery helped his low-90s fastball generate more whiffs than either Matt Harvey or Shelby Miller in 2013, but the league adjusted the next season and the southpaw was unable to effectively counter. He did mix in his slider and changeup more frequently but still relied on his fastball three out of every four pitches, with opposing hitters squaring the offering up more frequently and with more authority to the tune of a .210 isolated power.

Why the 2015 season will be better with a healthy Joey Votto.
When Theo Esptein was introduced as president of baseball operations for the Chicago Cubs in November of 2011 he said, "To me, baseball is better with tradition, baseball is better with history, baseball is better with fans who care, baseball is better in ballparks like this, baseball is better during the day. And baseball is best of all when you win."
It's a bit hokey, but yeah, I can get on board with most of that. However, I would add one more thing to that list: Baseball is better with Joey Votto. The star first baseman has become a favorite in the advanced-stats community and a pariah for some old schoolers who believe he doesn't do enough at the plate. It's an oft-debated topic, one that likely got a little worn out at times, but certainly sparked some spirited discussions.

John Wilkes Booth and two partners formed the Dramatic Oil Company to drill for oil. Six weeks after Booth shot President Lincoln, his well struck oil.
Patillo Higgins' Texas gusher sprayed 50,000 barrels of oil a day for nine days before the well could be controlled.
American oil was first discovered in Oil City, Pennsylvania.
Narrator: Oil, drillers go bust for it, nations go to war for it, nobody can get enough. From a single 50 ft derrick to platform cities taller than the tallest buildings, it's a high risk gamble that can make you a billionaire or ruin your life.

Wendy Darling:
June 12, 2012 at 2:58 am
I loathe the new design this site and others in the network have gone to. Yes, I know the purpose is to log more page views and thus more ad views, but we the fans are not going to keep clcking "Next." At least put 2-3 per page. Extremely annoying and if unchanged I will stop visiting sites that perpetrate it and make my first choice blogs that make it easy to enjoy.
Christopher Schutz:
June 13, 2012 at 6:56 am
Instead of clicking Next, use the right arrow key on your keyboard... It really isn't that big of a deal now is it?
June 12, 2012 at 3:06 am
the main problem is that you can not skip through pages fast, so if you already read a bunch from the beginning, you will either have to not read them or sit there clicking for a while.

well that depends. do you even KNOW who the website designer is? all i know is that i heard about this website from ABC world news and i heard that the owner of this website is a woman.

This new layout is ok when I'm at my home computer, but at home I'm not so much trying to just pass time.. When I'm at work and have a break though, I used to like come here and read and laugh. The problem for me with this new layout is that my work computer is REALLY slow and loading one page takes really long time. So I spend more time waiting for the page to load than actually reading the post... I know I should get a new work computer, but not just so that I could read a little and pass time... Please bring back the old design for us with slow computers... :(

Generic hate comment. But with reason. I am on my iPod, and if there is a mobile version of this site, Zipod isn't finding it. I usually have to zoom in to read it, so the list format meant less time having to zoom i and more time enjoying it. This new layout actually has made me stop visiting because it's just not worth it. :( I only came back to see if they at least reverted to some sort of list format. Oh well, I'll check again next week.

(April 14, 2011)--The UTSA South Texas Center for Emerging Infectious Diseases in the UTSA College of Sciences will present "An Ode to the Study of Diphtheria," a technical lecture featuring R. John Collier, professor of microbiology and molecular genetics at Harvard Medical School. Free and open to the public, the lecture sponsored by the Ewing Halsell Foundation, will be 9-10 a.m., Friday, April 15 in the Biotechnology, Sciences and Engineering Multifunction Room (2.102) on the UTSA Main Campus.
The bacterium Corynebacterium diphtheria causes diphtheria, a disease now rare in the United States because of mandatory vaccination, but once was extremely common. The bacterium is highly contagious, and the disease has a relatively high fatality rate because the toxin produced by the bacteria can cause systemic and lethal effects.
Collier has been studying diphtheria toxin for nearly 50 years, and his research has been seminal in the understanding of how bacterial toxins enter host cells and cause lethal effects. The seminar will provide a retrospective analysis of his influential studies of diphtheria toxin action.
Collier is one of the most preeminent researchers in bacterial pathogenesis. His four-decade career began when he earned his Ph.D. in biology at Harvard University in 1964. Upon completing post-doctoral studies in biology at the University of Geneva (Switzerland) Molecular Biology Institute, Collier joined the faculty at UCLA, where he served in numerous capacities from 1966 to 1984.
In 1984, Collier joined the faculty at Harvard Medical School. Five years later, he was named the Maude and Lillian Presley Professor of Microbiology and Molecular Genetics. In 1991, he was elected to the National Academy of Sciences.
More recently, he served as a consultant to various biomedical companies such as Cetus Corporation (1982-1984), Virus Research Institute (1994-1998), AVANT Immunotherapeutics (1998-2000) and CombinatoRx Inc. (2005-2008). In 2001, he co-founded PharmAthene Inc., an Anapolis-based biodefense company.

Hogue Genesis Merlot 2006
Merlot from Columbia Valley, Washington
Winemaker's Notes
For our Genesis brand wines, we seek grapes from some of the most distinctive vineyard sites in the Columbia Valley. Eastern Washington has gained a reputation as an exceptional Merlot-producing region, and this spicy, silky wine is a fine example of the quality of Merlot the region is capable of producing. The 2006 vintage offers aromas and flavors of wild blueberry and juicy plum with a spicy cinnamon accent. Clean and supple, the wine has a measure of acidity to balance the plush fruit. Pair it with flank steak, veal parmesan or ratatouille.
Critical Acclaim
Wine Spectator - "Velvety, with a nice savory edge to the blueberry and dark plum flavors, which shine through fine tannins on the refined finish. Drink now through 2011. "
The Hogue Cellars Winery
The Hogue Cellars, founded in 1982 by Mike and Gary Hogue, is located in Eastern Washington's Columbia Valley, the premier grape growing region of the state. The climate and soils of the Columbia Valley produce grapes with intense fruit flavors and high natural acidity. The wines have a liveliness and ripe, zesty fruit flavors that make them ideal complements to a wide range of foods. View all The Hogue Cellars Wines
About Columbia ValleyView a map of Columbia Valley wineries
Columbia Valley is the largest of Washington State's wine growing regions, with almost 11 million acres. It encompasses a number of smaller regions, including Yakima Valley, Walla Walla Valley, Red Mountain and more. The vast area consists of a range of climates, allowing viticulturists to plant a diverse selection of grape varieties. Most wineries plant rows sparsely, which helps the vines survive the harsh winters.
Notable FactsMerlot is the most popular and most planted grape of the area, followed by Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay. Syrah and Riesling are also popular and continue to grow in acreage.
About WashingtonRelated Links:Now the number two producer in the United States, Washington State has also grown in quality.
So how does a state known for rain and coffee produce high quality wines? They plant their grapes on the east side of the Cascade mountains, away from that ever-present rain cloud that sits along the coast. Perhaps wine grapes do well since the sandy loam soils east of the Cascade range give way to an almost desert-like land, saved from drought only by the helpful rivers that run through the area – and the good irrigation systems.
Thinking that the state would do best with typical northern growing grapes like Riesling and Gewurtztraminer, turns out the apple state is well-suited for reds, namely Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and, more recently, Syrah. Of course, whites have not been forgotten - Washington State Rieslings range from bone-dry to sweet, are well-structured and high quality, and Chardonnay dominates most of the other white plantings, making a range of wines. But the reds of the region, Merlot in particular, have made Washington State a quality force to be reckoned with.

The efficiency of cell-penetrating peptide (CPP)-mediated dsDNA transfection in triticale microspores was investigated through transient and stable integration of the β-glucoronidase (GUS) reporter gene and expression assays in microspore-derived embryos and plantlets. The RecA protein, usually associated with prokaryote homologous recombination, was also tested for its capacity to protect the linear transgene from degradation. Transfections mediated by the CPP nanocarriers Tat2 and Pep1 reduced the number of regenerated embryos from 158 in the control to 122 and 100, respectively. The co-delivery of CPP-dsDNA with RecA protein also resulted in fewer embryos, 87 and 104 for Tat2 and Pep1, respectively. Delivery of dsDNA with Tat2 or Pep1, without RecA, resulted in the highest frequencies of GUS activity in regenerated embryos, at 26%. Co-delivery with RecA decreased the percentage of GUS-positive embryos to 16%. Interestingly, co-delivered RecA-dsDNA reduced the loss of integrity of inserted genetic construct, as observed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification of the 5′ and 3′ ends. GUS activity was also detected in mature haploid and diploid plants. Of all treatments, 31 T0 plants tested positive for the GUS gene by quantitative PCR, although 50% were derived from the single treatment dsDNA-Tat2. The estimated copy number of the GUS transgene varied between four and eight. This study provides the foundations for CPP-mediated co-delivery of dsDNA and protein RecA in haploid microspore nuclei for functional genomic studies in crop species.

|Check-in before
The appartment was amazingly beautiful and perfectly clean. The landlords are the loveliest couple you can imagine and they were also really helfull. Thanks a million!
Our stay there was nice. We had a great time. The Charles' Bridge is very near and the castle too. We didn't need any public transport. The place is busy but the windows are at the back and it was quiet. The flat is dark and the stairs are hard to climb with luggage. But our host brought them for us. Thanks.
The Positano Elegant Terrace was just that. We loved this place. We would love to live here! Everyone was so helpful with picking us up at the train and on the way on to Venice they drove us in to Naples to catch the train. This was our favorite place in the three weeks we stayed in Italy. It was heaven and the perfect honeymoon spot. Will definitely want to stay in one of their places again.
Awful! This apartment is managed by Interhome agency, and there is one surprise provided by them - cleaning fee. Then you are choosing a room you do not see any mentions about addition costs - only after reservation. We realized that we had to pay extra 66 EUR after getting booking confirmation.
It is a little bit unpleasantly, but then we came there we saw an absolutely dirty apartment - all the surfaces was covered with dust. And this is is AFTER 66 EUR cleaning! We spent a half oh a day to clean everything by ourselves.
More than that - there was not any blankets there. We asked a charwoman to bring us at least one, she promised to come with them in the evening but did not come and did not bring any.
We was needed to sleep under thin cover for sofa, and it was quite cold.
After all this they took money for cleaning from my credit card without my agreement and did not answer my mails with photos of dust in their apartment.
Don't book anything from Interhome!
Very nice, wellplanned, clean and nice villa. Big and well equipted kitchen.
Apartment was nice, very clean, spacious, quiet even though located on a big street and generally up to standard. Overground and Bus Stops very close, Underground stop can be reached by bus or walking easily. Few small issues (key for one of the windows missing, toilet seat broken, plastic bit of toilet flush falling down, bathroom pipe slightly leaking) but overall this apartment can definitely be recommended. HOWEVER, be aware that the key has to be picked up somewhere else (close to Camden Road Overground Station - so not far from the apartment) and you can't get the keys for the apartment at the apartment itself.
The apartment isn't bad, but it's impossible to stay in 6 persons, max 5.
The clear isn' good. So it's very strategic position in the town.
the apartment is really well placed, right in the centre of Prague; you need just a minute to reach the old town square by walk, passing through one of the most turistic street of the city.
The guys at the reception did a good job, letting us enter our rooms some hours before the check-in time.
The apartment was really nice and well furnished, with everything necessary (i think more than necessary!!) for the trip: tiny but complete kitchen, living room with big tv, internet connection and so on...
We just had some troubles to sleep at night dued to some drunk hooligans lodged in our building that passed whole nights ringing every door bell in the palace, shouting, slamming doors and elevator cabin, from 4 to 6 a.m.; unfortunately non-smart people is everywhere...but this has nothing to do with the accomodation that has been really comfortable.
Everything was Great Perfect Location, Really Clean only reason i give it 4 Stars is the wifi in our room.. Well there wasn't any. Other then that it was Greeat Would Def stay here again
Everything was perfect! Really nice apartment and the location was really good. the aprtment was very clean and fresh and it included all things that you needed. Good kitchen-equipment, free internet and nice furnishing.

I am building application in Flash Builder 4.6.
I allow other users to upload and run they own MovieClips inside my app(movie clips loaded by my app). I provide them with an interface to access my app futures.
I am concerned about abusing, so I wish to protect my self from the next scenarios:
- Browser activities such as redirects or opening links. (Pay attention that they can plant java script code using ExternalInterface.)
- Crunching the browser by ruining infinite loops:
while(true){ ;// kill browser }
- Asking the user for unlimited storage permission and feel it with garbage.
Is it possible to protect my app from all that?

First came this tweet from @PlazaAtlanta on December 1:
"We'll be closed tomorrow (Thursday 12/2) for a private event. Come see Waste Land and GENIUS WITHIN today as this is the last day for them."
Then this one, a few hours later:
"Recession Special Combo will be available today since we're closed tomorrow."
Then finally, on December 2:
"We just finished a Hollywood film shoot with Ryan Reynolds! Look for the movie theater scene in next year's "The Changeup""
It is so great to see a movie theatre that LOOKS LIKE A MOVIE THEATRE in a film.
When the film comes out, let's hope The Plaza gets a shot at hosting a premiere screening! It is ironic that most people watching the film won't ever have had the opportunity to watch a film, much less set foot, in a classic venue like the Plaza.
Congrats to the Plaza. This kind of exposure has the potential to bring much needed attention to the independent theatre.
Rich Eldridge broke the story on the Atlanta Magazine ATLINTL Web site this morning that the reason for the Plaza's mysterious closure on Tuesday. As the location for a scene in the new Ryan Reynolds comedy The Change Up shooting in Atlanta, the Plaza, CL's 2010 Best of Atlanta Best Movie Theatre honor meets People Magazine's Sexiest Man Alive.
Here's the complete story:
People magazine's 2010 Sexiest Man Alive had the historic Plaza Theatre all to himself Thursday as the buddy comedy "The Change Up" shot scenes at the Midtown movie house.
In an exclusive to ATL Intel, Plaza manager Ben Ruder tells us the non-profit theater closed to the public during the shoot as actor Ryan Reynolds shot a scene watching a film in the main theater with a handful of extras.
Filmmakers made certain that the Plaza's interiors, including its trademark sconces and curtains, were in the shots. The Plaza also supplied the popcorn, candy and soda props for the scene (Reynolds enjoyed a box of Goobers chocolate covered peanuts and a Diet Coke).
The crew also shot a reverse of Reynolds eating candy and laughing at the comedy being shown. "Change Up" director David Dobkin (who also helmed the comedy "Wedding Crashers") will insert footage of the film Reynolds was watching later on. Still, Ruder had some fun in the projection booth Thursday.
Spills Ruder to us: "As a bit of fun for Ryan and the crew, I ran a print of "Teen Wolf Too, starring a 1987 Jason Bateman."
Bateman is Reynolds' real-life pal and "Change Up" co-star. He took over the role in the "Teen Wolf" franchise in the late 1980s post-Michael J. Fox.
"The Change Up" is set to wrap here by the end of the year and will hit theaters in 2011.
He didn't ask for any of this. She took it upon herself to start this…
Not a huge fan of the ankle cuff sneakers that Serena (and KD) are wearing…
Kind of strange that some random lady started a GoFundMe for that kid. I'm curious…
Can Tim Lee get any more pitiful?
Are my nards going to get irradiated?
sarcasm, and the lost art therein.

The afforfable end of Epson's HD projectors
In Epson's more affordable segment of market, you can pick up either the TW2900, the TW3500 or the TW450 without busting the bank wide open. The former pair are Full HD models designed for all round home entertainment use but the tail-ender is all about gaming.
The TW2900 and TW3500 offer good 18,000:1 and 36,000:1 contrast ratios while keeping many of the features from the higher end models - the 3LCD technology, 10bit processing and 22dB projection at 1600 lumens. However, the drop in contrast reflects much more affordable £1099 and £1299 price tags when they hit the shelves in October.
For that, you get two HDMI 1.3 ports and up to a 300-inch screen size that promise to quite faithfully reproduce any Blu-ray or TV broadcast you'd care to throw at it.
If you're still short of pocket money, then the TW450 is an update of the TW420 from last year and costs just £649. It'll only go up to 720p resolution and offer 3000:1 contrast at 2500 lumens but it's better than a kick in the head. It might not be as sharp as a LCD for the same money but then you won't get that enormous screen size. The TW420 adds S-Video and RGB connections to the HDMI plus there's the bonus trinkets of a built-in speaker and carry case.

Even the background graffiti is written in American! To be clear, it's a video taken from today's demonstration in Tahrir Square. The strangest scene comes at :58, when a cop who's beating a protester lying on the ground hands his baton over to some guy dressed in black, who gets his own whack in before returning the baton. How thoughtful of that police officer! Maybe he has some pepper spray he can lend to a passerby who wants to play "University of California Cop" for a while. According to the BBC, the death toll from this weekend's pro-democracy protests has climbed to nine, while AFP says 11. Nearly 1,000 people have been injured during the crackdown, which has involved the use of tear gas (how Oaklandy) and rubber bullets (just like in Oakland and Denver!). In addition to attacking the protesters, police have also burned down their tents. "The violence ... showed us that [former Egyptian President Hosni] Mubarak is still in power," one protester, Ahmed Hani, told the Associated Press news agency.

Death determined as drowning after body was exhumed
Published: Monday, May 3, 2010 at 1:19 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, May 3, 2010 at 1:19 p.m.
A man whose body was exhumed by his family to determine his cause of death has been determined to have died by drowning, according to an autopsy report released Monday.
Edgar Allen Owen's body was found in a shallow creek near his home on Nov. 23, 2009. The local medical examiner ruled his death an accidental drowning, but the family believes Owen was killed.
The Owen family has paid approximately $1,400 to have Edgar Owen's body exhumed and taken to the medical examiner's office.
Owen's blood alcohol level was .27 -- more than three times the legal limit of .08 -- at the time of his death, according to the first toxicology report.
After Owen's body was exhumed and sent to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Chapel Hill two weeks ago, two more tests were performed to check the alcohol levels. The results that came back after last week's autopsy show that Owen still had levels of alcohol in his system ranging from .22 found in his urinary bladder and .17 in his gall bladder.
The full autopsy report released Monday listed Owen's death as an accidental drowning and listed alcohol intoxication as a contributing condition.

Sizzix Eileen Hull and Crescent Collaboration

Hello! Today I would like to share a tutorial for a fun Home Decor project that I made using Eileen Hull's new Spring line of Sizzix Dies and tools.
Monday, May 2, 2016
Awhile back, I mentioned that I was making the flowers for my daughter's wedding this coming fall. I have enjoyed this so much! I have been crafting like a crazy woman. Every.Single.Day. Which is ironic, because to my blog readers, it must appear that my crafting has slowed down. I can assure you, however, that this is not the case.

Hi :), I started to watch anime about 4 years ago. The first i've seen was HETALIA axis powers. Not long after that i watched the DEATH NOTE which i totally fall in love with. My favorite anime series are : ao no exorcist, Chuunibyou Demo Koi ga Shitai!, Fullmetal alchemist brotherhood, soul eater, another, Kamisama Hajimemashita and as i said before death note. I don't have favorite anime movies (there's too many amazing ones :), but i for example like those made by Miyazaki, Makoto SHINKAI, Satoshi KON and Mamoru HOSODA.
You may call me however you like to :).
What about yours favorite ones ? Who are your favorite characters ? Do you also have favorite manga ?
p.s.: siu is nickname made by few of my past friend. In turkish it means WATER.
Ha ha I love you gave 5 stars to Colorful! :D I'm going to check your Shiny-list. Greetings from Finland.
Hi :) my names Ondin. Im 15 and I live in Slovakia (check out the link). I was wondering if I could become your friend. Honestly, I dont know why I picked especially you (so dont ask me ... (I dont mean it wrong)). I did something similar few months ago at one film databaze, where I randomly picked few people, red their ratings, and which I liked added to my friend zone. 3 days after that one of them sent me an email and asked me why I picked him as my friend. I dont know. You were just in right time at the right place. Beside, I like to just stand in front of some stranger and say "HI", "WHATS YOUR NAME ???", "WHAT DO YOU LIKE ???" it doesnt matter that we dont have same opinions about everything. So I red what you wrote. I like your personallity :). And Id like to be your friend. ..........
I dont like people who imitate others. I also dont like those who make themselves look like they know a lot about anime as long as they only saw 2 or 3 of them.
My record was 25 episodes withouth break x).
Ps: you can call me Siu ... :)
heres the link :https://maps.google.sk/maps?hl=sk
lol in what way do you think it's not your cup of tea? It's interesting because you don't like a house track, but you gave me a progressive trance artist and a house/edm artist as examples of what you like. :p Granted, the song I have posted is a bit more on the bombastic, pop-y side of house. I just find that it's a really nice high energy song to start the day. It's not uncommon for me to start the morning with either that song or a song like it, although in general pretty much any electronica is game for me. When I'm not listening to some variant of metal, I'm listening to anything from melodic dubstep to progressive trance to house, depending on whether I want something more energetic or more atmospheric.

Numbers don't tell allOctober 05,2013
Numbers don't tell all
I want to thank Keith Zandy for his letter, "No, thank you" in the Sept. 27 edition of The Times Argus. This was his responding to my letter where I answered a previous letter of his about single-payer health care.
Mr. Zandy stated, in short, that "facts and numbers don't lie — only politicians do." Perhaps. And not only politicians. Facts and numbers can lie as well. They also do not tell the whole picture of what they show. Mr. Zandy suggests, for example, that the "socialist benefits" of FDR are not sustainable and that "Medicare is bankrupt." While I dispute these claims, they were working beyond expectations until attempts to gut them to prove that they did not work. They have not been helped by the billions of dollars in potential revenue sacrificed to vast corporate tax loopholes, massive tax cuts for the wealthy, and Medicare private insurance plans which soak billions from Medicare, according to a study.
Mr. Zandy offers an example of government interference in Sarah Murnaghan "who had to fight Kathleen Sebelius to get the adult lung that her doctor wanted to use." According to a CNN story, this is not exactly what happened. It should be noted, however, that Sarah's family would have had to fight much harder if their insurer were private — that is, if they could even get private insurance because of Sarah's condition. I had to battle private insurance; I nearly died because of it. Thousands of Vermonters have similar stories, if not worse. How many seniors want to give up Medicare for private insurance?
Facts and numbers only tell what happened, not why. With due respect to Mr. Zandy's views, "no, thank you."

LAU, C.-P., ET AL.: Pacemaker Mediated Tachycardias In Single Chamber Rate Responsive Pacing. Although pacemaker mediated tachycardias are classically associated with dual chamber pacemakers, single chamber rate responsive pacemakers are also susceptible to such tachycardias under special circumstances. A unipolar activity sensing rate responsive pacemaker (Activitrax 8403) was implanted in an 83-year-old man with complete atrioventricular block. The pacemaker was programmed at an output of 5 V, activity threshold medium, rate response 5, and lower and upper rates of 70 and 125 beats/min, respectively. He presented with palpitations at rest and muscle twitching of the pacemaker pocket 4 months after implantation. Examination confirmed that the pacemaker had flipped over, resulting in pocket pacing which in turn activated the activity sensor, resulting in a rate response. The increase in pacing rate lead to a higher frequency of pocket pacing, thus leading to positive feedback increase in rate. With the patient at rest, pacemaker mediated rates were 106, 91, and 74 beats/min at low, medium and high thresholds, respectively. Decreasing the output to 2.5 V eliminated pocket pacing and the tachycardia. As a result of the reversal of the pacemaker, a similar rate response during exercise could only be achieved at a more sensitive rate responsive setting. Thus, pacemaker mediated tachycardia can complicate pacemaker "flipping" in single chamber activity sensing rate responsive pacemakers. Methods for the avoidance and treatment of pacemaker flipping are discussed. A review of other sensor mediated tachycardias is also presented.
