I'm really tempted. Would the headphone out on my macbook be up to driving the PK1 or should I go with the PK2?

I'm really tempted. Would the headphone out on my macbook be up to driving the PK1 or should I go with the PK2?
I think it comes down to how you will use them though. Why pay the extra money if you aren't going to use an amp when the PK2s don't really need one.
i lost nearly all my foam pads, does anyone know where i can get more?
I think it comes down to how you will use them though. Why pay the extra money if you aren't going to use an amp when the PK2s don't really need one.
For me, the earbud is less than ideal. I can never really get them to stay in one spot, so there is a limit on how much quality I want to pay for something that will wiggle, not islotate, etc. But for those that want that last little bit, a PK1 might be better.
Do you guys normally wear the PKs with foam or without?
Radio Shack sells foam pads for earbuds (though, of course not the donuts).
With. they fall out of my ears without. I use both the solids and hole-ones, depending on my mood. They dramatically change the sound IMHO.

Hmmm. I should try the others. I've only used the donuts.
Do you ever listen to your PK1s without an amp? I wonder if it's worth getting if I'm not going to amp them most of the time? My GF wants me to get her the PK-2. She likes the sound, so I figured this would be an excuse for me to get the PK-1 , but I hear they really don't sound all that great unamped like the PK-2
Thought I'd jump in with some quick thoughts. I bought a pair of PK1s from Fang a few weeks ago. I didn't have an amp at the time, and ran them straight out my 2G Nano and Macbook Pro.
In my opinion, they sound GREAT unamped - definitely the best earbuds I've ever heard (I've owned, not including IEMs, Sennheiser MX400, MX500 and MX550; AKG K14P; Audio Technica ATH-CM7Ti; Sony MDR-E888... as well as various other cheapo earbuds). Great extension at both ends, and a very balanced sound (don't expect bass monsters or an overly bright sound either). Soundstage and instrument separation is also excellent, considering they're earbuds. I'm not EQing right now, but I might give it a bit of a boost in the lower end for portable use.
After a couple of weeks listening unamped, my iBasso P1 arrived and well... now they sound even better I haven't done much critical listening to figure out exactly what the amped vs unamped differences are, but the first thing I noticed was the definition and tightness of the bass - individual notes in a bass line are much more obvious, where they sort of blurred together before. They also sound somewhat less 'congested' if that makes sense - more clarity, I guess. There was a post earlier in this thread that basically sums up my thoughts:
I don't know if it's fair to compare them to full-size cans - it's like apples and oranges to me. It's like comparing a Yaris to an F-150 - sure, they both can get you from point A to point B, but they each have their own pros and cons inherent to the car class. Does that make sense? In any case, as I said earlier, they're easily the best earbuds I've heard.
I was initially hesistant about going for PK1s because I wasn't sure how they'd sound unamped (and I don't like to carry amps around, even portable ones), but I don't regret my purchase at all. I would definitely recommend that you listen to them first - whether they're "worth" the price obviously is a very subjective matter. I will say that if I was going to use them exclusively for portable use, I'm not sure that I'd keep them - they don't isolate at all, so in noisy environments (subway, busy streets, etc.) a lot of the magic is lost.
I've got used PK2s coming in the mail so I'll post my thoughts on those, amped and unamped, in the (hopefully very) near future. The idea is that I'll use the PK2s on the go without an amp, and keep the PK1s at home - gotta protect my investment
On a side note, I was very impressed with Fang's service - they were sent out for shipment very quickly, and arrived in Toronto within a few days. He even marked them as a gift without me asking so I didn't have to pay any extra taxes.
Well, that ended up being longer than I intended... I guess it's as difficult to stop writing about the PK1s as it is to stop listening to them

Harley Mirrors w/ tube doors?
Hey guys. Quick question. I'm thinking about getting some Harley mirrors for when I take the doors off. If I decide later that I want some tube doors, will the Harley mirrors work with the tube doors or will I have to come up with something else? Thanks!
If you are putting the Harley Miirors in the door hinges, then yes you will have to come up with something else if you run tube doors. I used the RR relocation kit. You lose 1/4 to 3/4 of your passenger mirror when the door is on, but it's fine when off. It's something I can live with for the ease of having the mirrors already there. I thought of the HD mirro option, but didn't want to hunt them down and put them on when I took off the doors.
The reason the Harley mirrors are so neat is that they go right in the hinge post for the doors. Unfortunately, so would your tube doors, so you'd need a different solution. It probably wouldn't be too difficult to come up with a solution, though. Most tube doors have a mirror-mounting spot already set up - ours is drilled for factory mirrors, and comes with a big spacer so you can use the original bolts even. I think competitors products are about the same. So you could bolt something on for the Harley mirrors.

These are the doors that Geoff is talking about. They are predrilled to use your stock mirrors. 10 minute install.

I went down this path . . . I used a pair of stock Harley mirrors that I had laying around in the door hinges with the doors off, but ended up buying a pair of tube doors and didn't want to get hassled by the man, so here's what I did . . . I welded a little metal sleeve like the ones that you use in the the bushings on your shocks to the tube door and bingo, slide the Harley mirror into the sleeve just like you used to on the door hinge and you are all set. The great thing about this set up, is at least in my opinion, the small Harley mirrors look better than the stockers on tube doors, but most important, it's less hassle, no removing the mirrors and all that nonsense . . . pull the doors, put on the tubes and go!!!
I am sure that you can add a bracket on the tube doors to fit whatever bike mirror you like to use..
JDS, those look like the Element doors I picked up. I havent mounted them yet, so if anyone wants to take a look at the doors let me know and I can snap a couple pics to see the mount points etc...

The epigraph for Megan Mayhew Bergman's Birds of a Lesser Paradise says it all: "We will now discuss in a little more detail the Struggle for Existence." The quote comes from Charles Darwin, a figure that hovers over this collection like a storm cloud; threatening, beautiful, menacing. Close.
Bergman's stories feature women embattled, with themselves, their lovers, their parents, their politics, and with nature. They are, in many ways, hardened women, who speak with the hot blankness of a Lydia Davis character:
"You can keep the silver, he said. And the dining room set. Anything, really."
"I don't care, I said. That stuff only matters to women who need men."
The women, collectively, are in their 30s or older, newly single, soon-to-be-single, living by themselves, with pets, or with their aged parents. In all cases, they are unquestionably alone, seeking to solve the question...

Mahalo.com founder and serial entrepreneur Jason Calacanis seems to think so, and he presents some interesting numbers to back up his claims.
Calacanis' corporate vlog, Mahalo Daily, recently passed one million views for March. Certainly, the American Idol-like search for a new host couldn't have hurt. Since the show's inception, they've had over 4 million viewers. Says Calacanis:
If you were to pay for four million 15 second spots on the web the cost would be $25 for each 1,000 views–or $100,000. That's about what we've spent on the show over the first six months. Additionally, the shows have archival value and will get another 2-4m views over their life I'm sure.
In other words, the Mahalo Daily will pay for itself fairly easily after one year. A $250,000 investment in the Mahalo Daily a year will bring in–if the growth continues–somewhere between 15-30M viewers a year.
Granted, it helps that Calacanis is something of a web superstar, what with his thousands of Twitter followers and blog readers that give him a big leg up on spreading his links. Calacanis calls this "monetized marketing" and predicts that in three years every company will not just blog, but vlog.
Color us skeptics – heck, many are just beginning to figure out blogging, let alone vlogging. Baby steps, people. However, early adopters like Calacanis who present us with these numbers will certainly push things forward. Therefore, it's not suprising (plug alert) that the agency I work at built a video studio in our San Francisco office this year.
As our CEO Sabrina Horn recently told PR Week, "We have a video studio in our office and it's not because clients demanded it – it was more like we were shooting videos for so many different things and then all of a sudden, we realized we should just have a video studio. And now we think, "wow this is great – this is where PR is going."
Other PR related vloggers PRNewser follows include D S Simon Vlog Views and Beet.TV. Who else should we pay attention to?

Obstacle Course, Hill Climb, and Coal Chute! - Top Truck Challenge 2013
Purchase the Top Truck Challenge DVD here! http://www.4wheelparts.com/search.aspx?kw=top+truck+challenge+dvd The Obstacle Course begins with a shockingly tall and long slippery hill descent known as the "first hill" and it ends with a nasty dogleg gully that's tantalizingly close to the finish line. In between is a treasure trove of terror. The "lower section" forces competitors to navigate a 360-degree turn through three deep water holes and sand. From there, competitors travel up a hill to the "upper section" that includes a deceiving off-camber U-turn (known as "U-turn Hill"), two deep water holes, and numerous tight turns. This event has a 10-minute time limit, but speed is the enemy. This is because the course is marked with numerous cones and each one hit adds 20 seconds to the overall time. If all four tires of a rig travel outside a cone the rig is disqualified at that point. Safety violations net a whopping two-minute penalty. Clearly, accuracy is the key to success in the Obstacle Course. Think back to those hillclimbs you've done in your 4x4. Yeah, the TTC Hill Climb isn't like that. The Hill Climb is built specifically for TTC, it's approximately 600 feet in length and it has an average angle of approximately 60 degrees. It twists and turns as it winds through the poison oak and it's peppered with strategically-placed deep holes and dirt hills. Yes, we added hills to our Hill Climb. The Hill Climb is loose, steep, and unpredictable. Naturally, we don't let drivers see it before they run it because that would ruin the surprise. The Hill Climb rewards those who can think on-the-fly and punishes those who are thinking about the next event. We allowed each competitor 5 minutes to tackle the hill and during that time they could stop, reverse, or winch. If a competitor exceeded the time limit, traveled out of bounds, or violated a safety rule they were disqualified at that point. The Mini Rubicon, a staple of Top Truck for years, was a brutal event that forced competitors to fight for every inch of forward progress. It was tough and unforgiving. We wanted something tougher. So, for 2013 we replaced the Mini Rubicon with the awe-inspiring Coal Chute. This event uses a newly developed area (Rock Rash Ridge) at the Hollister Hills SVRA that contains an amazing collection of man-made obstacles. Naturally, we tweaked it to make it exclusive to Top Truck. Our mind-bending course was approximately 525 feet in length, and included steep walls in excess of 7 feet tall and jumbles of rocks and cement tubes. We even brought in a water truck and created a waterfall on the final cement climb. The course was broken into four distinct sections. We threw competitors a curve ball and allowed them to skip one of the two first sections. However, we penalized each competitor 10 minutes if they bypassed the first section and 6 minutes if they bypassed the second section. Strategy was a major player at this event. There was a 20-minute time limit and safety violations netted a two-minute penalty. If two of the vehicles tires traveled outside of the cones the competitor was disqualified at that point.

Sprint's Deal with Apple Allows Carrier to Offer LTE iPhone Should One Debut
Sprint Chief Financial Officer Joe Euteneuer declined to say if Apple has such an iPhone planned. The carrier plans to introduce the 4G LTE network in only six cities by midyear.Euteneuer noted that a theoretical iPhone launch in October of this year, in line with last year's schedule, would arrive with Sprint having rolled out LTE to many of the major cities in the United States. Consequently, he suggested that Sprint would in reality not be that far behind AT&T and Verizon by that time.
Nonetheless, Euteneuer said Tuesday at an investor conference that Sprint's Apple contract is similar to those of rivals AT&T Inc. (T) and Verizon Wireless, and that the carrier isn't being held to any 4G LTE coverage requirements. In comparison, the other two carriers have rolled out 4G LTE to large swaths of the country.
Buyer's Guide: iPhone (Neutral)
Top Rated Comments(View all)
While sitting right beside him, I got 6Mbps on my 4S on AT&T.
Then I had him turn off the 4G...300kbps. :eek:
No its a GSM variant so of course you can talk and surf it was always there
Thank you for straightening me out!:) Sprint still does not work where I live!
I'm not on Sprint and I don't really know why but I'm kind of rooting for them.
I've spent a good amount of time on AT&T, Verizon and Sprint. AT&T is without a doubt my least favorite carrier, and while I'm a Verizon user today, I was quite happy with Sprint the last couple of years, and while they were not perfect, I feel like they really are trying. Their customer service improved dramatically 4-5 years ago when they got so much bad press, and in my experience after, they went above and beyond to make me happy and solve my problems. When I switched to Verizon for the iPhone last February, I felt bad leaving Sprint because I had a couple of complicated customer service experiences that they truly went above and beyond on. I called and made a point to tell them that I was leaving solely because of the iPhone, and that I was generally very happy with them as a company.
Their call quality wasn't as great as Verizon's (and in a few certain spotty areas could be terrible), but generally it was quite good for me. I never had much to complain about past BlackBerry device failures that you can't really blame on Sprint. Their data speeds were descent as well. Not quite as fast on 3G as Verizon, but on a phone, plenty usable at 1-2 Mbps on average. And again, much like Verizon, I got consistent service on Sprint BlackBerry's whereas with the AT&T iPhone 3G and 3GS, the data connection was for all intents and purposes useless on highways driving through less populated areas. It was so ridiculous to try to load things on an iPhone and have to switch over to a crappy BlackBerry, but that's AT&T for you.
What made Sprint's few shortcomings when comparing with Verizon more than easy to swallow was their great prices on plans and the fact that their plans offer a lot of content without the limits. They're simple and straightforward. I have very little bad to say about Sprint, and I too am certainly rooting for them.
(more on my experience with Verizon and AT&T below)
I'm currently (and finally thanks to the new iPad) completely locked into the Verizon network for everything. I have to say that it's by far the best network for call quality and general signal strength; I don't think I've ever really dropped more than a few calls on my Verizon iPhone now and I've had one since 7 AM on release day. And the new iPad on LTE is incredible; it's yet to have to switch over to 3G mode. But even if it does, Verizon 3G is literally just about everywhere in the USA, and it's a descent and very usable connection anywhere. But with Verizon, you definitely pay the price to have the best service, connection and at least in my experience, constistently great customer service.
With AT&T, I dropped calls all the time and had incredibly inconsistent voice quality. And while the data is great when you have a strong 3G signal in an area that's not too congested, that same 3G signal can easily be no better or worse than Verizon's slower but at least consistent signal. Sometimes it was far worse than Verizon's; almost useless to have 3G when half the time nothing loads or loads at sub-Edge speeds. Gotta love cities. And of course, Edge is basically useless, especially on the iPad, and it clicked into this far more often than I'd like even in fairly major metropolitan areas. And they were always *******s to me. On the phone, in stores, supervisors, managers, all unprofessional, rude, ignorant...pathetic customer service.
I'm pretty sure this isn't correct. I don't think Verizon iPhones are capable of talk and Internet at the same time. Am I wrong? There were a whole slew of AT&T ads that focused on this one fact. Remember the fat Luke Wilson ads? //cdn.macrumors.com/vb/images/smilies/smile.gif
Yeah thats because the Verizon iPhone doesnt use LTE
I'm not on Sprint and I don't really know why but I'm kind of rooting for them.
Because competition is good for the consumer. Imagine if there was only 1 carrier in the US... we'd have 10kbps up/down speeds limited to 1megabyte of bandwidth per month for $100/month.

Wildlife photographer Chris Weston sacrificed his GoPro camera to a giant, scary-ass grizzly bear, and the result is somewhat terrifying. In the aptly named "Grizzly Bear Attempts to Eat GoPro" a big grizzly with big grizzly claws gnaws on a GoPro. Once he gets the camera in his mouth, we get a glimpse of what it might be like to get eaten by a bear, sharp teeth and all.
For those interested in more heart-pounding grizzly activities, there's an entire YouTube sub-genre dedicated to the killer bears encountering food vaults. It's both terrifying and mesmerizing because the bear will not give up on that bear-proof container because he is a hungry predator:
In today's other hungry bear news, this black bear doesn't eat people—just cupcakes. Warning: that story has a sadder ending.

The Facts When Should One Begin an Anti Aging Routine To Keep Good Looking In Your Older Age
Most people have the impression that we should only deal with our skin about anti aging when we get older! This is very wrong! In fact, we should begin our anti aging routine to counteract the earliest stages of aging skin as earlier as we reach...
Aging begin as soon as adulthood is reached. Physically, early (20 to 39 years old) and middle adulthood (40 to 59 years old) are marked by slow, gradual declines in body functioning, which accelerate as late adulthood (60 and above of age) is reached. The mass of muscle will continue to boost through till mid 20s, thereafter gradually decreasing. Each stage experiences its own specific type of breakdown of protein and collagen and other building blocks that keep your skin looking youthful and glowing.
During the early adulthood, the production of collagen start slowing down and the regeneration of new cells diminishes slightly. Inside your skin along with other parts of your bodies, cells are constantly dying and rejuvenating and the new cells are pristine and strong and it shows on your faces. This process is part of youth and aging, once you reach mid 20s, the process of generation slows down. This is hardly noticeable on the outside of the skin but this is when aging actually begin to happen.
In the middle adulthood, aging starts happening under your skin from the ages of 40. But it can be started as earlier as from 35 depends on how you taking care of your skin, practices healthy diet and lifestyle. During this stage, you will begin to show fine lines around your eyes and outside the mouth area. The color of the skin becomes more pale or dull and loses its youthful glow. Then you begin to lose collagen and amino acids which natural bonding substance in your body that keep your skin plump and puffy. This is the stage where wrinkles start to take underlying on your face.
As in the late adulthood, the human growth hormone is depleted and aging starts to speed up. If you have not used repairing products like anti aging serum, then all of the damaging activities occurring beneath your skin continues but they will accelerate and the consequences will probably be a lot worse than one who used good skin care products, implemented healthy diet and lifestyle routine. Without the aid of good anti aging wrinkle products that help to prevent, restore, protect and rejuvenate, your wrinkles will go deeper and age spots will show up. The building blocks beneath your skin have broken down so you start experience an intense loss of plumpness and resilience.
Therefore, in early stage of adulthood especially you reach mid 20s, a good skin care product series, avoid too much sun light exposure, keep your body hydrated plus eat antioxidants rich foods would definitely make you look much younger and glow in your older age. The start of uses a good anti aging serum that with ingredients such as antioxidants, Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) and retinols in addition to your moisturizer cream is highly recommended when reaches your middle adulthood to keep your skin restore and rejuvenate. When come to late adulthood, series of high quality anti aging products that include serum, face cream and eye cream is surely as much needed at this time. But it never too late to improve the look of your skin no matter what age you in!

April Puett of Athens was charged with first-degree arson after Det.-Sgt. Trevor Harris said she confessed Friday to the fire. Puett "She claims she flipped a cigarette and it accidentally caught the third shelf from the ground of a storage cabinet on fire that was on the front porch of the home," said Harris. "It's our belief though, that she intentionally set the house on fire and then walked off knowing that two people — the boyfriend and his new girlfriend — were in the house." Police have been investigating the suspicious fire ever since it was reported Wednesday by Donald Patrick Tussey who told investigators that he looked out on his back porch shortly before 5 a.m. and noticed the porch was in flames.

But to be a witness of the reality in the world and help stop the violence is WKat LUCas professes is one of his greatest missions. The couple is originally from Birmingham and moved to New York for Jeremy to complete his studies as a priest. They moved back to Alabama last year. They were brought to Athens by Jeremy's placement as a priest at St. Timothy's Episcopal Church. Several events, seemingly destined, have led them to working for non-violent solutions for conflicts in the world. Jeremy's first day of seminary school was on Sept. II, 2001, in Manhattan, NY. "That was the first time we had been around anything that looked so close to war," he said. "As we continued our journey in New York, my wife and I both committed ourselves to making change non-v iolently." The Lucases joined a program called Creating a Culture of Peace. Through this program they were introduced to Fellowship of Reconciliation where they joined Interfaith Peace-Builders, a program dedicated to educate North American citizens about the Israeli and Palestinian regions, and to deepen their understanding of its conflicts.

Blazer Girl rips on L.A. fans
Obviously the economy has made it difficult for young people to find jobs. How else do you explain "Blazer Girl?"
Here's a lovely young woman (at least by her picture), who obviously has nothing better to do her final year at University of Oregon than to rip on NBA fans who live outside of the Portland city boundaries. OK, outside of the Great Northwest.
She has taken to writing some sort of blog that details her distaste for what other fans wear -- as if those in Rip City possess any fashion sense. She has saved her biggest scorn for L.A. fans.
"My distaste for LA began early. As a Portland fan, it's just what you do. And since I grew up drinking out of Rip City cartoon glasses, with life-sized Clyde Drexler and Terry Porter posters on my walls, it's exactly what I did."
Poor child.
"Living in a state with only one professional sports organization means that bandwagon fans run amok during the playoffs. And, this time of year, that usually means putting up with a lot of temporary Lakers fans.
"I watched the first game of the Lakers-Nuggets series at a bar on campus with the cheapest beer around. This was important, considering how broke I am (I'm in college, after all) and considering the general quality of the "fans" who would be watching the game around me. Cheap beer equaled a drunker (and thus more hateful and overall badass) me.
"And sure enough, right after finishing a few pitchers of Bud Light by myself, the Laker hatred surfaced."
Maybe now that school has started, she can stay away from the beer and concentrate on studies. But I think not.
Blazer Girl has become something of a celebrity, now appearing regularly on Deadspin.com. and she no doubt will have more to say in the upcoming season.

Cream of Cauliflower Cheese Soup
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 15 mins
I love this soup! My kids like it pureed really smooth, but I tend to like it a little "lumpier." You can puree it as smooth as you like.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 heads cauliflower, washed and broken into flowerets
- 1⁄2 cup chopped onion
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- water
- 3 vegetable bouillon cubes
- 4 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese, softened (or use regular)
- 1 cup half-and-half (or evaporated milk)
- 1⁄4-1⁄2 teaspoon salt, to taste
- 1⁄2 teaspoon pepper
- 1⁄2 teaspoon paprika
- 2 teaspoons parsley
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese or 2 cups shredded American cheese
- Place cauliflower flowerets, chopped onion, and garlic in a large pot. Pour in just enough water to almost cover (but not quite) cover the cauliflower. Add boullion cubes and bring to a boil; cook until cauliflower is very tender -- about 10-12 minutes.
- Lower heat medium.
- Add in cream cheese and half and half; stir well. Add in salt, pepper, paprika and parsley; stir and heat through.
- Add in shredded cheese; stir frequently until heated through and cheese is melted.
- Remove from heat. Puree in batches in blender or food processor. Serve.
Most Helpful
I had to change it a little just because I didn't have everything. I used regular cream cheese, chicken bouillon cubes, evaporated milk (the whole 12 oz can), garlic salt (and omitted the other salt), and no parsley. I also used sharp cheddar because my dad's cardiologist said you can less sharp cheddar for the same taste. I used 1 cup- next time I might use a little more than that.
I'm not a soup eater, but my two roommates LOVE this, and devour it every time I make it. I used chicken stock (its what I have) instead of the bouillon cubes and water. a half recipe fits in my blender perfectly.
My family enjoyed this soup. My only complaint was that the cream cheese never seemed to completely incorporate itself into the soup. It looked a little "grainy". It didn't affect the taste at all, just the texture (that's why only 4 stars). That being said the flavour of this soup gets better & better with age. The leftovers kept getting yummier! thanks for the recipe!

The world, the times we cherish could be paused in that breif moment sealed into an image.
My lense seeks what the world has to offer all the moments we find ordinary could lead to be extrodinary,
pictures are my all literaly my everything. Where flowers can never die nor smiles ever fade, my images that
shall last forever even if lost. Even the one's that should be erased still hold in that one still frame, life...
My lens longed for the beauty of the world, life in its fullest. For what is more beautiful than the simple joy of ordinary day life. I would have never guessed my job was to take pictures of the opposite of my passion, death in its liveliest form. She seemed to have been beaten from the bruises and her broken nails including the countless burns along her body. She seemed still alive with her eyes closed, her hair beautifully tossed and her makeup luminous from her colorless complexion.
This was Jack Frosts doing. Jack Frost is a serial murder killing woman just like jack the ripper strangling her, then slicing the neck leaving the body in an open place for anyone to see, he even took the heart. The reason the serial murder got frost was because the body was frozen to where the decomposition was stopped not allowing police to get an accurate time of death. Taylor? I looked up.
Yeah chief? Tony's replacement is coming today give him welcoming for me. Chief didn't like the idea of replacing tony, sure. I snapped pictures of her cracked nails and burns and cuts.I paused leaning over the victim; she could've been in college doing something she loved to do.
What happened I wonder to this girl? Taylor! You mumbling to yourself again? I looked up from my desk it was my senior Keith, I rubbed my forehead pressing my fingers. You've been staring at that file for a while now he said huffing. I closed the file tossing it back in with the rest of the files; I leaned forward resting my head with my palm.
Can't I mumble to myself I asked lazily? He grew somehow taller his belly growing bolder, of course you may not! He huffed It distracts real detectives from their work. There we go again I grumbled that same old fart not liking the idea of me working for the…Um excuse me but is this section 7? He was…so….tall!?!?
Keith shriveled back down, I snorted finally of his fat high horse. Uh…yeah where section 7?! Aw good I thought I was lost he said reaching down to grab his brief case, heading to the empty desk that used to be Tony's . No way?! He turned looking at me; I had to bend my head literally to the ceiling to see his face. Are you the replacement? He nodded his head. For Tony right? I didn't say a word I was too shocked.
Let's all give a warm welcoming to Tristion Adams. There was a gathering of claps from section seven. Keith was briefing him on the recent murder case we were assigned to. He seemed enthralled into the case as he carefully ran across the information and pictures. AHHH! I
sat their spazzing, messing up my hair. OMFG, I was staring at the new guy and even detailing him! God what is wrong with me today, first I'm zoning out, I'm tired and now I'm doing the googily eyes on the new guy!!!!???? I sat the files back down on my desk, grabbing my jacket and a pack of cigarettes. No they didn't have any tobacco in them just calming herbs that I grow myself.
I didn't wait for Keith to comment on my random escape from the office. I glanced at the snow frosted letters on the glass door as I was welcomed by fresh air. I pulled a cigarette out from the pack as I flicked my lighter into action. I breathed in deeply closing my eyes for a rest that they eagerly need. I recalled the body from this afternoon, the file case of an abusive boyfriend.
As I dragged the smoke out from my lips, it felt like releasing all the pollution from my heart out into the open air. It felt ecstatic in the very presence of releasing and finally blown away by the dusk setting air. What kind of smell is that? I glanced back near the entrance of the building, it was the new guy. He smiled as I went back for a deep drag. Herbs I said between letting the smoke lose between words.

Objective Ischemic postconditioning protects the reperfused heart from infarction, and this protection is dependent on the occupancy of adenosine receptors. We further explored the role of adenosine receptors in this salvage.
Methods In situ rabbit hearts underwent 30min of regional ischemia and 3h of reperfusion, and postconditioning was effected with four cycles of 30-s reperfusion/30-s coronary artery occlusion at the end of ischemia.
Results Postconditioning reduced infarct size from 40.2±3.4% of the risk zone in untreated hearts to 15.5±2.5%. Protection by postconditioning was blocked by either the non-selective adenosine receptor blocker 8-p-(sulfophenyl)theophylline or the A2b-selective antagonist MRS 1754, injected intravenously 5min before reperfusion. The protein kinase C (PKC) antagonist chelerythrine also aborted postconditioning's salvage, indicating a PKC-dependent mechanism. Neither the A1-selective antagonist 8-cyclopentyl-1,3-dipropylxanthine nor the A2a-selective antagonist 8-(13-chlorostyryl)caffeine had an effect on protection. The non-selective but A2b-potent adenosine agonist 5′-(N-ethylcarboxamido)adenosine (NECA) infused from 5min before to 1h after reperfusion mimicked postconditioning's effect on infarct size (17.2±2.7% infarction) and MRS 1754 blocked the NECA-induced cardioprotection, confirming that A2b activation was protective. The PKC activator phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate delivered just before reperfusion also duplicated the protective effect of postconditioning (16.3±4.1% infarction), and co-administration of the PKC antagonist chelerythrine aborted PMA's protection, confirming that the protection was the result of PKC activation. NECA's protective effect was not affected by chelerythrine, but rather MRS 1754 blocked PMA's salutary effect (42.8±1.0% infarction), suggesting that the A2b receptor's effect is under control of PKC. Finally, wortmannin, a blocker of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, also abrogated protection by PMA.
Conclusions Salvage of ischemic myocardium by postconditioning is dependent on activation of A2b receptors, which in turn depends on activation of PKC. It is still unclear why PKC activation is required to make the heart's adenosine become protective.
1. Introduction
Recently, it has been shown that the canine heart can be effectively protected from infarction with brief cycles of ischemia and reperfusion during the early reperfusion period following a lethal ischemic insult, a phenomenon termed postconditioning [1]. We were also able to demonstrate sparing of infarction by postconditioning in hearts of open-chest rabbits and showed that this protection was dependent on signal transduction elements leading to nitric oxide (NO) production, ERK activation and opening of the mitochondrial KATP channel [2]. Tsang et al. [3] extended those observations in a rat model and showed that postconditioning protects myocardium by activating the prosurvival kinases phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3-K), Akt, and p70S6K.
It is not known what triggers these pathways in the postconditioned heart. One obvious candidate is adenosine which we have previously shown activates PI3-K to increase Akt phosphorylation in the rabbit heart [4]. Furthermore, like postconditioning, protection from the adenosine agonist NECA has been shown to also be dependent on PI3-K, ERK and NO [5]. Indeed, we [6] and Kin et al. [7] reported that postconditioning's cardioprotection in an isolated rabbit heart model can be blocked by the non-selective adenosine receptor antagonist 8-p-(sulfophenyl)theophylline (SPT). Ischemic preconditioning was also found to be dependent on adenosine receptor stimulation in the reperfusion phase following the index ischemia [8]. Moreover in that study we presented evidence that the adenosine A2b receptor subtype was largely responsible for preconditioning's protection and that the A2a subtype was not. Although Kin et al. [7] concluded that A2a receptors were responsible for postconditioning's protection, ZM241385, the antagonist they used, is not highly selective between A2a and A2b receptors and it is possible that their conclusion may have been erroneous. We therefore designed experiments to determine whether the A2b receptor subtype might be responsible for postconditioning's protection. In addition, we also explored the mechanism whereby postconditioning causes adenosine receptors to become protective.
All procedures were approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee and were conducted in accordance with recommendations published in the Guide for Care and Use of Laboratory Animals[9].
Surgical procedure
New Zealand White rabbits of either sex weighing between 1.7 and 2.7kg were anesthetized with intravenous sodium pentobarbital (30mg/kg). Throughout the experiment additional anesthesia was administered as needed (5–15mg pentobarbital/15min). A heating pad maintained rectal temperature between 38.5 and 39.5°C. Animals were intubated through a tracheotomy and ventilated with 100% O2 with the aid of a mechanical ventilator. Arterial pH, pO2, and pCO2 were measured with blood gas analyzer ABL 5 (Radiometer, Copenhagen, Denmark). Respiratory rate was adjusted to keep pH between 7.35 and 7.45. In this preparation arterial pO2 averages 180–200mm Hg and pCO2 25–30mm Hg. A PE 50 catheter filled with heparinized saline (10U/ml) was placed in the right carotid artery to monitor arterial blood pressure and to measure arterial pH and gases. To administer drugs, a PE 50 catheter filled with heparinized saline was placed in an ear vein.
After a left thoracotomy, a prominent branch of the left coronary artery was surrounded with a suture (2–0 silk) to form a snare. The rabbits were allowed to stabilize for 15min after surgery before the protocols were begun.
Hearts of 21 experimental groups experienced 30min of regional ischemia (Fig. 1). In all hearts reperfusion following the occlusion lasted for 3h. Control hearts had only the index occlusion followed by reperfusion. In all postconditioned groups, four cycles of 30-s reperfusion/30-s occlusion were started immediately after release of the index ischemia. In drug-treated animals SPT (7.5mg/kg), MRS 1754 (9.5μg/kg), an adenosine A2b-selective antagonist, 8-cyclopentyl-1,3-dipropylxanthine (DPCPX, 1mg/kg), a selective A1 adenosine receptor antagonist, chelerythrine (5mg/kg), a highly selective antagonist of protein kinase C (PKC), or wortmannin (60μg/kg), an inhibitor of PI3-K, was infused as an intravenous bolus 5min before the onset of reperfusion with or without subsequent postconditioning cycles. A 6-min infusion of 8-(13-chlorostyryl)caffeine (CSC, 660μg/kg), a selective A2a adenosine receptor antagonist, was started 11min before the onset of reperfusion and was also combined with postconditioning.
NECA (2μg/kg), a non-selective but potent A2b adenosine agonist, was infused 5min before the onset of reperfusion. After administration of the bolus, an infusion of 0.2μg/kg/min was continued for 65min. To investigate if the adenosine A2b receptor were responsible for the effects of NECA, we administered a bolus of MRS 1754 (9.5μg/kg) at the same time as NECA 5min before the onset of reperfusion and again after 15min of reperfusion. To determine whether PKC activation was critical to NECA's effect on ischemic myocardium, chelerythrine (5mg/kg) was infused as an intravenous bolus 5min before the onset of reperfusion.
The effect of a left atrial infusion of the PKC activator phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) (0.5μg/kg/min) beginning 5min before reperfusion and extending for 20min in lieu of NECA was examined. Co-infusion of either chelerythrine or MRS 1754 as detailed above was also tested in 2 other groups of rabbit hearts.
Finally, the effects of the tool drugs themselves, SPT, MRS 1754, DPCPX, CSC, chelerythrine, and wortmannin infused 5min before reperfusion were evaluated.
Doses of drugs were selected mainly because of our prior experience of effective action or blockade. DPCPX at a dose of 1mg/kg had previously been shown to block the negative chronotropic effect of the selective adenosine A1 receptor agonists 2-chloro-N6-cyclopentyladenosine [10] and GR79236 [11]. Preliminary observations with CSC demonstrated that a dose of 660μg/kg infused over 6min completely prevented the hypotensive effect of an intravenous infusion of 0.4mg/kg/min adenosine.
Determination of area at risk and infarct size
After completion of the studies all in situ hearts were excised and the aortic root was perfused with 0.9% saline. The coronary artery was reoccluded, and 2–9μm diameter green fluorescent microspheres (Duke Scientific Corp., Palo Alto, CA) were infused into the perfusate to demarcate the ischemic zone as the area of tissue without fluorescence (region at risk). Hearts were weighed, frozen, and then cut into 2-mm-thick transverse slices. The slices were incubated in 1% triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) in sodium phosphate buffer (pH 7.4) at 38°C for 8min. TTC stains the noninfarcted myocardium brick red indicating the presence of dehydrogenase enzymes. The slices were then immersed in 10% formalin to enhance the contrast between stained (viable) and unstained (necrotic) tissue. The risk zone was revealed as the non-fluorescent region by illumination with UV light. The areas of infarct and risk zone were determined by planimetry of each slice and volumes were calculated by multiplying each area by its slice thickness and summing them for each heart. Infarct size is expressed as a percentage of the risk zone.
Wortmannin, chelerythrine, PMA, SPT, NECA, MRS 1754, CSC, and DPCPX were obtained from Sigma Chemical Co. (St. Louis, MO). They were dissolved in DMSO. The solution was then further diluted in 1.5ml of 0.9% saline before administration to the rabbit. This amount of DMSO had no effect in control hearts.
All data are expressed as mean±S.E.M. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) combined with Tukey's post hoc test was performed on baseline hemodynamic and infarct data. Temporal differences in hemodynamic variables in any given group were analyzed with one-way repeated measures ANOVA, and Tukey's post hoc test was used to examine differences between measurements at any given time point and baseline. Differences were considered to be significant if the p value was below 0.05.
No group differences in heart rate, developed pressure, or coronary flow were observed at baseline (Table 1 in the online supplement). No substantial changes in heart rate or blood pressure were observed after administration of drugs. Blood pressure declined mildly during coronary occlusion in all groups.
Infarct size
Although there was some variability in heart weights and risk zone volumes in the groups (Table 2 in the online supplement), there were no significant differences. In control hearts infarct size was 40.2±3.4% of the risk zone (Fig. 2). Infarct size in the postconditioned group was nearly 70% less than that in the control group (15.5±2.5%, p<0.001 versus control). SPT, a non-selective adenosine receptor blocker, aborted protection confirming the involvement of adenosine receptors. Furthermore MRS 1754, a highly selective adenosine A2b receptor antagonist, also blocked postconditioning's protection, thus identifying the A2b receptor subtype as being responsible for postconditioning's protection. Neither DPCPX nor CSC, highly selective A1 and A2a antagonists, respectively, blocked postconditioning's protection, thus making involvement of the A1- and A2a-receptors unlikely.
We next examined whether PKC activation played a role in postconditioning's protection. As demonstrated in Fig. 3, chelerythrine blocked salvage of ischemic myocardium (42.6±3.0% infarction). Additionally wortmannin, an antagonist of PI3-K, also aborted postconditioning's protective effect (35.1±4.6% infarction).
It was reasoned that if postconditioning protects by activating A2b receptors then administration of an A2b agonist should mimic the protection. Fig. 4 shows that an infusion of the non-selective but A2b-potent adenosine receptor agonist NECA beginning just before reperfusion significantly decreased infarction to 17.2±2.7% of the risk zone (p<0.001 vs. control). As predicted by our hypothesis this protection was aborted when A2b receptors were blocked by MRS 1754, thus documenting the importance of A2b receptor occupancy which is presumably the first step in NECA's signaling. Chelerythrine had no effect when protection was initiated by NECA, thus excluding PKC as a necessary step in NECA's downstream signaling pathway.
Next we tried to activate cardiac PKC by directly infusing PMA into the rabbit just prior to reperfusion and found that it was equally protective as NECA (16.3±4.1% infarction) (Fig. 5). Chelerythrine blocked PMA's salutary effect, thus supporting our assumption that PMA protected by activating PKC. The A2b blocker MRS 1754 also blocked PMA's protection indicating that PKC activation acts to control adenosine's activation of the A2b receptor in the signaling cascade. Finally, wortmannin also abrogated PMA's protection.
None of the tool drugs administered at reperfusion had any independent effect on infarct size (Figs. 2 and 3).
These studies implicate involvement of the adenosine A2b receptor in postconditioning's signaling pathways in our rabbit model. Furthermore for the first time we provide evidence that PKC activation is upstream of the critical binding of adenosine A2b receptors. These observations provide a link back to PKC which for many years has been a pivotal kinase in the protection from ischemic preconditioning [12,13].
Although ischemic preconditioning introduced almost 20 years ago is a powerful anti-infarct intervention [14], it has not been possible to apply it in patients with acute myocardial infarction because of the requirement for pretreatment. Furthermore, restoration of blood flow to ischemic myocardium, a requisite for long-term survival of tissue, appears to hasten the transition from ischemic but viable to necrotic myocardium [15–18]. Zhao et al. [1] provided a new tool for protection of the heart from ischemia/reperfusion injury when they introduced the concept of postconditioning. Because of its timing postconditioning could be applied in a clinical setting of reperfusion by direct angioplasty, and indeed a recent clinical trial of postconditioning yielded encouraging results [19].
Because a highly selective A2b antagonist blocked postconditioning's protection we tested whether an A2b agonist would mimic the protection. Unfortunately a selective A2b agonist is unavailable. Although not selective for any adenosine receptor, NECA is a very potent A2b receptor agonist, and is frequently employed to activate this receptor subtype. As previously demonstrated in isolated rabbit hearts [5], NECA was quite protective in in situ hearts. Therefore, it was not surprising that blockade of A2b receptors with MRS 1754 aborted NECA's protection. Because PKC is known to play an important mediator role in preconditioning, and because a PKC antagonist blocked postconditioning's protection in the present study, we tested whether this intracellular kinase would also be important in NECA's signaling. To our surprise it was not, suggesting that PKC resides upstream of the step where the postconditioned heart employs A2b receptors in its protective pathway.
We pursued the above hypothesis by testing whether activating PKC with PMA would be protective. Intraatrial PMA just prior to reperfusion was equally protective as NECA. We excluded the possibility that PMA was protecting ischemic myocardium through some unknown, nonspecific effect by documenting abolition of PMA's salvage with the highly selective PKC antagonist chelerythrine. The observation that blockade of A2b receptors with MRS 1754 also prevented PMA from sparing ischemic myocardium corroborated our hypothesis that PKC resides upstream of the A2b step in this pathway. Therefore, we propose that PKC activation by postconditioning somehow facilitates the activation of protective signal transduction pathways that are coupled to the A2b receptor.
Kin et al. [7] recently reported that adenosine receptors were involved in a rat model of postconditioning, but they concluded that it was the A2a and A3 receptor subtypes that were important. AMP579, an adenosine A1/A2 agonist, is quite protective when delivered just prior to or at reperfusion, and its cardioprotection was not affected by the potent and selective A1 adenosine receptor antagonist DPCPX (Ki=10nM for A1 and 1440nM for A2 receptors), but was effectively abrogated by the adenosine A2a antagonist 8-(13-chlorostyryl) caffeine (CSC) which is 520-fold more selective for A2a than A1 receptors [20,21]. Yet we were unable to duplicate its protection with the highly selective A2a agonist CGS21680 [21]. These observations led us to suspect the A2b receptor might be the important one since NECA, a very similar compound with known adenosine A2b agonist potency, mimicked AMP579's protection [21] (no A2b affinity data are available for AMP579). Kin et al. [7] used ZM241385 to block A2a receptors in their rat hearts. However, if the affinity of rat receptors for ZM241385 is similar to that of cloned human adenosine receptors [22], then nearly all A2b receptors would also have been blocked as well at the dose used by Kin et al. We were unable to find affinity data for ZM241385 against rat A2b receptors.
Affinity studies for MRS 1754 have been performed for human and rat, but unfortunately not for rabbit, adenosine receptors [23]. The Ki for hA2b is 1.97nM which is more than 200-fold lower than that for either hA1 or hA2a receptors. However, the Ki for rat A1 receptors is 16.8nM, only 8.5 times that for hA2b receptors. Because of the possible collateral effect of MRS 1754 on A1 receptors in the rabbit, we specifically examined the result of DPCPX administration at a dose known to block the heart rate effects of a highly selective adenosine A1 agonist in rabbits [10,11]. Indeed, the A2b antagonist MRS 1754, but not the A1 antagonist DPCPX, aborted postconditioning's protection, strongly suggesting that cardioprotection from postconditioning in the open-chest rabbit requires occupancy of A2b receptors during reperfusion. Our observations with CSC exclude involvement of the A2a receptor. Unfortunately, there is no selective A3 antagonist in the rabbit. Interestingly, Kilpatrick et al. [24] have shown that DPCPX blocks cardioprotection triggered by A3 receptor stimulation in rabbit hearts. Because of the inability of DPCPX to block postconditioning's protection, a role for A3 receptors is doubtful.
Olanrewaju and Mustafa [25] have demonstrated in coronary artery endothelial cells that occupancy of both adenosine A2a and A2b receptors stimulates NO production and increases cGMP levels. We have already shown that cardioprotection triggered by NECA at reperfusion in vitro [5] as well as postconditioning [2] are dependent on NO. Mitochondrial KATP opening has also been implicated in postconditioning [2]. Increased PKG activation resulting from an increased cGMP level would be expected, and we have recently reported that activated PKG can open mitochondrial KATP[26].
Tsang et al. [3] reported that PI3-K is an important signaling step in postconditioning in the isolated rat heart. We now confirm this observation in the in situ heart, and also show that PMA's protection is effectively blocked by wortmannin. Previously, we had noted that salvage triggered by NECA infused shortly before reperfusion was blocked by wortmannin [5]. Furthermore, NECA increased Akt phosphorylation. Therefore, adenosine receptor occupancy results in PI3-K activation and Akt phosphorylation, although the intermediate steps are not yet known.
It is unclear why only the A2b receptors appear to protect the postconditioned heart. The untreated heart produces and releases adenosine during the prolonged coronary occlusion, and, therefore, one might wonder why these hearts are not protected. The A2b receptor is a very low-affinity receptor and the adenosine concentration even during ischemia may not be sufficient to populate this receptor to the degree required for protection. NECA, on the other hand, is a more potent agonist of the critical A2b receptor. Kin et al. [7] measured adenosine in the effluent of their postconditioned hearts and found it to be decreased. They proposed that the postconditioned heart might somehow be retaining adenosine in the tissues, but the mechanism for this is unprecedented. Perhaps postconditioning somehow activates pathways that increase the affinity of the receptors so that they can be occupied by the heart's endogenous adenosine. Indeed, PKC activation has been reported to increase A2b responses in some cell systems [27,28] and we now find that PKC activation is required for postconditioning to elicit protection. Although PKC may activate a myriad of kinases, an intriguing possibility is that it phosphorylates the A2b receptor to increase its sensitivity.
Inagaki et al. [29,30] have reported that specific inhibition of PKC-δ at reperfusion decreases infarct size. Our present observation that PKC activation at reperfusion is protective is obviously not consistent with that paradigm. Perhaps activation of all isoforms by PMA activates a previously unsuspected protective isoform, while inhibition of all isoforms with chelerythrine blocks some additional protective isoform resulting in the deleterious effect that we observed.
In conclusion, our study demonstrates for the first time that at least some protective strategies introduced shortly before reperfusion and ischemic postconditioning are acting through the adenosine A2b receptor. Furthermore, binding of the A2b receptor at reperfusion results in activation of at least one prosurvival kinase, PI3-K. Finally, PKC must also be activated during postconditioning to elicit protection, perhaps by increasing the sensitivity of the A2b adenosine receptor. Hence, PKC activation is upstream of A2b receptor occupancy.

Battle for Iwo Jima 1945 by Derrick Wright
Book DescriptionIwo Jima was the United States Marine Corps' toughest ever battle and a turning point in the Pacific War. In February 1945, three Marine Divisions stormed the island's shores in what was supposed to be a ten-day battle, but they had reckoned without General Tadamichi Kuribayashi, the enemy commander. 'Do not plan for my return,' wrote Kuribayashi in one of his many letters to his wife, Yoshii. He knew that he and his garrison could not defeat the Marines, but he was determined to exact a fearful toll in American casualties. In the 36-day battle for Iwo Jima, which eclipsed all that had gone before, the Marines lost nearly 6,000 men and the Japanese garrison was virtually wiped out.
