RMA 410 C is rated out of 5 by 5.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Timberbuck from Quality and dependable! This mower is lightweight and easy to push with a slope in your yard(which I have in my front yard). Haven't had to mow through the same patch twice. I use the 4 setting which in my opinion is perfect length. Haven't had a problem with the setting dropping either, it stays where you put it. I bought the 300 battery and the 300 charger which is plenty good for a yard 3,500 sqft. The more you stop and go the more juice it'll use, seems pretty obvious to me, so leave it on during turns and pivots to maximize battery life. Very pleased and more impressed than I thought I'd be. Went with Stihl instead of greenworks and ego because I knew that if something went wrong it could be worked on by a Stihl dealer(which is where I purchased it from). The two brands I mentioned in my research had no place to fix it whatsoever. I'll be purchasing the blower and weed trimmer next. You get what you pay for and Stihl is superior quality.

Rated 2 out of 5 by synergy58 from Not what I expected from Stihl I've owned it about a month, used it 3 times and it works me and my wife to death. I end up having to make about 40% more runs over the Green Pro 18" battery powered mower I was replacing with this RMA 410C. This RMA 410 C leaves a 2-4" strip of grass behind nearly every path. I've tried both the regular blade and the mulching blade and it does the same thing. It has good suction, picks grass up good, but the catcher is hard to empty. It gets heavy real quick and the lid is very cumbersome to maneuver around. The little orange closing button never lines back up properly and catches and closes. You have to set the thing down and line it up and snap it closed. When emptying you have to turn the container around in order to grad the handle on the opposite side to make sure the whole thing doesn't dump improperly. Very cumbersome catcher. We're very disappointed in this product's design and cutting performance.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Chico from Pleasing to use I've used this mower for several months -- it works well for a small urban yard. I previously had a different brand of cordless mower which weighed 50 pounds more than this light-weight beauty. I now look forward to mowing! My old mower required bagging while the Stihl completely mulches the grass. The collection works fine --but unnecessary. The battery does run a little short - about 35 minutes--but I just take a 30 minute rest break while the battery recharges and then finish my last 10 minutes of mowing. The best features are the light weight construction and the clean cut appearance of the lawn afterward. The downfall is is the short battery life -- but could easily be solved with a second battery-- or taking a short rest while it recharges.

Rated 1 out of 5 by santonee from Deck Height does not stay in selected position causes battery rapid battery drain The first cut was low and great. The second cut the same. The level was set to 2 out of 6, very low, but my grass was not high. On the third cut and after about 10 days, I set the deck height to level 5. I noticed the cut was still low. I checked the deck height and it dropped to level 2. This happened repeatedly. The deck height adjustment does not stay in the selected position. Instead it drops, because the pin that holds the deck in place does not fully engage the height slot. This is a design flaw. I am shocked that this was the design that STIHL released as the final design of a second generation product. As a result of this, the cut is too low, and causes excessive drain on the battery and the charge is not sufficient to cut my entire lawn. I have to re-charge my battery to finish the lawn. I have a 60x100 lot with only about 50% grass coverage. Very disappointed. I should have bought a gas powered unit.

Rated 5 out of 5 by BlueRidgeMountains from Great solution for a small to medium city yard I just purchased this product from Outdoor Power Products in Roanoke, VA.My experience in purchasing the lawn mower was great. Frank the sales person was honest and knowledgable. I purchased a FS85, AL-300 charger, and two AP-300 batteries. Everything was manufactured in Germany except for the battery charger. It was very important to me that the Lithium-Ion batteries were not made in China because of supply chain issues and QA issues that have plagued this country of origin. The mower started right up, worked well, lite in weight, and provided a clean even cut in a non flat environment....well done Stihl! I will be purchasing more battery powered equipment.

I find them a bit too big for portable use and their comfort is meh. The best thing they have going for them considering their price is their looks and build. I think the Momentum On-ear is the better choice out of the two, especially for portable use. Of the two, it's the one I would go for not only because it's much cheaper, but because it's smaller form factor and is much more comfortable while sounding comparable if a bit different in terms of sound quality.
They do have some excellent sound quality except for the loose bass (when unamped) and narrowish soundstage but that's all. Narrow soundstage are found in typical closed headphones so it's not a deal breaker unless you are used to a more open sound.

With proper practice this will definitely improve your inbuilt metronome
I have been self teaching myself snare drum technique at uni simply using a practice pad.
I was getting bored with just using a gum rubber practice pad and metronome, and was concerned that it is difficult to judge how much progress has been made. I thus researched into the various rhythm coaches on the market
I was wary of the price of this model, however I wanted to move away from the generic taps of a practice pads for some added realism, I believe this is the only rhythm trainer with inbuilt sounds as thus was my only true option.
The sounds are of good quality and make practice much more fun, the mesh head makes much less sound when hit that your usual practice pad which is good for not annoying people around the house. The mesh head also gives a much more realistic feel than a practice pad.
There is 22 different in build rhythms to jam on but for more serious practice there is five variations of the time check.
When I first tried the time check on the first day, I noticed that I was naturally slightly ahead of the beat and was getting very low scores in the time check on easy sometimes around 10-20. After just one day of focused practice on the pad I can now consistantly get into the high 80\'s and 90\'s which is amazing progress for one day :)
Without a rhythm trainer such as this it is almost impossible to tell that u are a few milliseconds off the beat. Within a day of training, I have seen sharp increases in the accuracy of my time keeping. This accuracy has also transferred onto the quiet count function, where u need to keep time when the metronome cuts out.
Although I have not used the stroke balance feature for long periods, it has been useful to check the balance between my left and right hands, as I have been working on strengthing my weaker left hand.
I am considering buying a kd-8 now to improve my double bass timing :)
It obviously can\'t replace a human teacher for correcting technique issues, or learning grooves. But for accelerating the development of your time keeping skills I don\'t think there is any better.
Considering the price of lessons and the improvements I have made I think this is good value for money. Focused practice on a single pad is often better for practicing time keeping skills , than noodling on a whole kit, and it certainly makes the sometimes boring essentials of practice a lot more fun than on practice pad

...when GNOME with Enlightenment allows me to minimize windows without losing them forever
I swear, I'm so tired of minimizing a Netscape window, and losing it so badly that I have to go in with a "kill -9 " to kill Netscape -- just because there doesn't seem to be a way to unminimize any windows with Enlightenment + Gnome.
As always, if somebody has some obvious suggestion that I didn't pick up from what I once thought was an intuitive interface, please enlighten me.
Till then, it's KDE 1.1 all the way.
Somebody should write a paper (white or otherwise) about version numbers. The only reason you use version numbers in the first place is to provide more information. Most important is whether there are changes that break compatability, but also the stability of the code and to just note when changes occur, so you don't have to look at the date.
I see the weirdest fscking numbers (and letters) at freshmeat, and
Fess up! If it sucks, tell us, and name it accordingly --
James Henstridge (one of the GNOME hackers)
At least gtk 1.1 is labeled as a development version.
The wheel is turning but the hamster is dead.
As for consistency across the desktop, MS isn't consistent with its use of menus, shortcuts and mouse clicks across the Office applications, much less the set of applications that ship with Windows 9x/NT and from third party vendors. I know, your example was BeOS and Mac, but winning the hearts of MS users wouldn't be to shabby of a start.
Personally I'm glad there are several Open Source desktop/Window Manager projects (everyone seems to forget about GNUStep and tkDesk), diversity accelerates evolution.
BTW, DNRH (Debian's Not Red Hat - and they support GNOME).

City Of Gold - Review
City Of Gold is as stark and real as a gash or an open wound. Of course, I am no one to comment on whether CIty Of Gold is a true and complete representation of the mill workers' plight, but as a moviegoer, this film worked for me at several levels.
City Of Gold talks of a family in particular and has several layers, numerous characters and various stories to tell. I was reminded of Vaastav in a couple of sequences [Karan Patel's track specifically], but I am not complaining. In fact, I liked it!
City Of Gold has several watchable moments and also the grip, so essential for a film tht's about to tell you a story that you aren't aware of. But there's a flip side too. The story seems stretched. Ideally, the film should've ended the moment Karan Patel is shot dead and the subsequent portions could've been narrated in a matter of seconds, without delving into details.
Yet, when you weigh the pros and cons, I'd say, the positives overweigh the minuses in this case. This Gold may not be 24 karat, but is 22 karat nonetheless.
Today, there is hardly anyone who hasn't visited the swanky shopping malls, nightclubs, lounge bars, clubs and other such lifestyle destinations that have sprung up across Mumbai. However, very few know that buried deep below lies the dark, dirty and painful reality of thousands of mill workers, who once worked the cotton mills in this very same area.
Rising and toiling to the wail of the mill sirens each and every day, seven days a week, these workers embodied the true unbridled zeal and unflagging spirit of the city and played a pivotal role in the evolution of Mumbai as the modern-day business capital of India. And then it suddenly was as if they never existed. Following the mill workers' strike in the mid-80s, these mills began closing down rapidly and the mill workers mysteriously disappeared.
Let me forewarn you that City Of Gold is not for the faint-hearted. The relationships, the violence, the language depicted in the film may shake you intermittently from your comfort zone. And it is these sequences, honestly, that are the mainstay of the enterprise. There's no denying that Manjrekar leaves an indelible impression in several sequences.
The film is embellished with a superior cast and each actor, irrespective of the length of the role, appears straight out of life. Seema Biswas, Siddharth Jadhav [as Speed Breaker], Veena Jamkar [as Manju], Shashank Shende [as Anna], Sachin Khedekar, Vinay Apte, Ganesh Yadav, Satish Kaushik, Kashmira Shah, Sameer Dharmadhikari and Vineet Singh [as Mohan] put their best foot forward. Each one is memorable in his/her role. But the show stopper is Karan Patel undoubtedly. It's a sensational performance, which will make people sit up and notice this supremely talented actor.
On the whole, City Of Gold is a heart-wrenching and violent journey that has the stamp of a gifted storyteller, Mahesh Manjrekar. Recommended!
Directed by - Mahesh Manjrekar
Starring - Vineet Kumar, Sameer Dharmadhikari, Kashmira Shah, Satish Kaushik, Ganesh Yadav, Sachin Khedekar, Seema Biswas ...

Another beach spot
Together with Ukunda this is the main beach spot in Kenya. Malindi feels like a small Mombasa, busy streets with boda-boda's, matatu's and bajiaji's, a lot of shops, food in the streets, etc. For me this feels good and I stayed in the middle of town at Tana Guest House, a professional run guesthouse and affordable. The other side of Malindi is ...

The crabs rush seawards in their strange sideways gait, sometimes at high speed, and lurk on the edge of the wet sand. As the waves come in, they usually race back up the beach. What is that all about? Are they waiting for a wave to take them out, or back? Is it a game?
Whatever, they whole effect is one of a fast moving game of Pac Man with all manoeuvres, naturally, carried out sideways.

Album Summary
Notes & Reviews:
We continue our astonishing Bruckner cycle with the rarely performed 2nd Symphony. As in the case in the 1st, Venzago has chosen a top orchestra of relatively small instrumental dimensions. 'After the many new recordings of the Bruckner symphonies, finally an interpretation that genuinely exhibits character and in a very musical way offers the listener the opportunity to complement his picture of Bruckner'(Pizzicato 3/12).
Gramophone Magazine, October 2012
A regular box of surprises, some of them quite startling...The principal virtue of the performance is in its agility, leanness and considerable subtlety of expression, the way it challenges the Bruckner cliche (weight, breadth, monumentality) with something utterly new...it's a valuable corrective.

home airliner timeline commercial aviation 1920 / 1930 flight in the 1930s Transatlantic air services the 'Clipper' the jet airliner history of air freight early French civil aviation early German civil aviation early Italian civil aviation early Japanese civil aviation early Soviet civil aviation World Airlines the history of US airlines classic airline posters airliner profiles |
Commercial Aviation 1920 to 1930 According to the
aviation historian Roger Bilstein, it is uncertain when the first
scheduled passenger service in the United States began. Silas
Christofferson carried passengers in 1913 by hydroplane between San
Francisco and Oakland harbours. In 1914, the St. Petersburg-Tampa
Airboat line carried passengers between Tampa and St. Petersburg,
Florida, using a Benoist flying boat. The service was quite successful
. After the war ended,
Alfred W. Lawson built the first multiengine airplane designed
exclusively for passengers—the Lawson C-2 in 1919. But surplus military
aircraft were a lot cheaper to buy than the C-2, and his plane did not
sell. Next, Lawson built a "jumbo" airliner, the L-4, that carried 34
passengers and 6,000 pounds (2,722 kilograms) of mail. This giant
plane, however, crashed on its first test flight, ending further
development. In 1920, a Florida
entrepreneur, Inglis Uppercu, began to offer international passenger
flights from Key West, Florida, to Havana, Cuba. He later added other
routes including flights between Miami and the Bahamas and soon between
New York and Havana, picking up passengers at stops along the way. He
even extended his service to the Midwest, flying between Cleveland,
Ohio, and Detroit, Michigan. His Aeromarine Airways' 15 flying boats,
dubbed "airborne limousines," made more than 2,000 scheduled flights
and carried nearly 10,000 passengers. But one of their planes crashed
off the coast of Florida, four passengers drowned, and Aeromarine
Airways went out of business in 1924. It was the Post Office
and airmail delivery that gave the commercial airlines their true
start. In the early part of the 20th century, the Post Office had used
mostly railroads to transport mail between cities. By 1925, only seven
years after the first official airmail flight, U.S. Post Office
airplanes were delivering 14 million letters and packages a year and
were maintaining regular flight schedules. Airmail appealed
particularly to bankers and other businessmen who regularly began to
use it to move checks and financial documents more quickly, reducing
the "float" on checks and the length of time that funds were idle and
unavailable for use. Later, after Henry Ford
had purchased the Stout Metal Airplane Company in 1925 and formed the
Ford Air Transport Service, he was awarded the Chicago-Detroit and
Cleveland-Detroit routes. He also produced the all-metal Ford Trimotor,
called the "Tin Goose." After three years carrying the mail, Ford
returned to manufacturing. |

BRUNSWICK, Maine - Bowdoin senior linebacker Brian Glazewski (Dobbs Ferry, N.Y.) has been awarded the New England Small College Athletic Conference's Defensive Player of the Week following his performance in a thrilling win over Colby on Saturday.
In his final collegiate game Glazewski made nine tackles, including a sack and 2.5 tackles for loss, and recovered two fumbles. The second of his fumble recoveries came as time expired when Colby attempted to lateral the ball on a kickoff return in the closing seconds. Glazewski picked off the final Colby toss and ran it into the endzone, capping a chaotic ending to the 32-22 Bowdoin win.
Glazewski enjoyed the finest season of his career this fall, finishing second on the team and sixth in the NESCAC with 71 total tackles (8.9/game). He also had three sacks on the year.
With Saturday's 32-22 win over Colby, Bowdoin finished the season 3-5 in a three-way tie for the CBB (Colby-Bates-Bowdoin) Championship.

The Housing Market Goes South
This post originally appeared in Business Insider.
On Thursday morning we saw that housing starts unexpectedly plunged 9.3 percent to an annualized rate of 893,000. On the face of it, the report was ugly, considering all the talk about the recent housing snapback.
It's important to note that the miss was entirely due to one region: the South. Housing starts plunged 29.6 percent in the South, driven by weakness in single-family units. "All the hit is in the south, where starts plunged by 29.6 percent, the biggest ever monthly drop, despite gains in each other region," wrote Ian Shepherdson at Pantheon Macroeconomics.
Starts were actually up in the rest of the country. In the Northeast, housing starts were up 14.1 percent, driven mostly by multifamily starts. In the Midwest they were up 28 percent, and in the West they were up 2.6 percent.
It wasn't immediately clear what was behind the sudden plunge in the South. "But homebuilders are being constrained by a shortage of labour and lots," Paul Diggle at Capital Economics. "Labour shortages are particularly prevalent in the carpentry and framing trades required at the start of the construction process. And shortages of lots mean that land prices are rising more quickly than the historical relationship with house prices would suggest." While the headline was weak, Eric Green at TD Securities wrote that "the report is exceptionally uneven and on balance is not an indication of a significant turn in housing construction."
During her semiannual monetary policy report this week, Federal Reserve Board Chair Janet Yellen said the housing sector hadn't shown much progress. "While this sector has recovered notably from its earlier trough, housing activity leveled off in the wake of last year's increase in mortgage rates, and readings this year have, overall, continued to be disappointing," she said.
While this report has been disappointing, economists do point out that single-family details were actually better than multifamily starts. And Shepherdson argues that this correction was expected after "May starts overshot the pace implied by building permits."
"It's probably just noise," Shepherdson told Business Insider in an email. "Single-family permits are the best guide to activity and they rose 2.6 percent in May and have recovered most of the winter hit. I don't expect significant further gains, but equally I'm not looking for further declines after the terrible-looking June headlines."
Bottomline: The report is ugly no doubt, but we'd urge caution with interpreting these volatile numbers.

Do you love Disney? What do you love the best?
Is it walking through the parks hand in hand with your little ones singing the Tiki Room song? How about sitting down on a Friday night with a bowl of popcorn and watching Frozen for the 50th time?
It doesn't matter what makes you a Disney Addict we are just glad you are!
A few years ago the gang here at Chip and Co created a fun Facebook Group called You Might Be a Disney Addict or YMBADA. Over the years that group has grown by leaps and bounds! Fans love sharing their love of Disney with pictures, thoughts, and ideas. Also one thing we have noticed is people ask LOTS of questions. Questions about the parks, Disney products, you name it.
My admins over on Disney Addicts do an awesome job directing people where to get answers, not to mention the other Disney Addicts do a killer job helping people as well, but if you have been in the group for any length of time you see how posts will disappear due to the sheer number of posting happening at any given time.
Well I have noticed a need and came up with an idea…
Now the Disney Addicts have a home away from home… A brand new site where you can Ask us your Disney Questions and get answers from our knowledgeable staff and fellow travel agents.
We can help you with:
- Park & Travel Related Questions
- Disney Merchandise, Movies, and More…
- We can even share our top pics for best places to eat or visit in the parks!
All you have to do is visit www.disneyaddicts.com at the top of the page you can ask us Your Disney Question! All questions are searchable and indexed to help you find them when you need them! I even created a new Facebook Page just for Disney Addicts.
So head on over, visit the site, and Ask us a Disney Question. There is no question too big or too small.
I hope to see you there!
Thank you for visiting Chip and Co. Be sure to sign up for our Daily Newsletter where we deliver the best in Disney News & Planning Tips to your inbox! You can find us all over the internet at Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, and even our Tee Public Store!

This is an excerpt from Worksite Health Promotion, Third Edition, by David Chenoweth.
Developing a Marketing Strategy
Marketing is defined as an aggregate of functions involved in moving goods from producer to consumer. Depending on the goods involved, these functions might include describing the product to those who have never heard of it, explaining what the product is and how to use it, advertising the product so that consumers know it exists, monitoring the product at the developmental site to check for consistent quality, distributing the product in various quantities to match the needs of different consumer segments, transporting the product to places where the consumer can easily get to it, seeking feedback about the product from the consumer to learn ways to improve the product's future marketability, and again monitoring the product at the distributor, wholesaler, or retailer to ensure consistent quality. When people talk about goods, we tend to think of tangible items. However, the marketing principles that apply to tangibles also apply to intangibles, such as WHP. As the producer, the job of WHP staff is to make the product (WHP) available and appealing to the consumer.
Organizations with successful WHP programs usually focus their marketing efforts on the four Ps—product, price, placement, and promotion—also called the marketing mix.
When your product is health promotion—helping people to feel better, reduce health risks, and be more productive—you might think the product would sell itself, but unfortunately it doesn't. As with all other products or services, a health promotion program must be marketed so that consumers consider it attractive and advantageous. As summarized in table 7.1, you should ask some important questions about the program: What is our service? Is it tangible, visible, and measurable? Why is the worksite version better than the commercialized, off-site version? What is the need for this service?
Employees need to know precisely what they are being offered. Does the WHP program require a commitment of an hour a day or only an hour a week? Does the program offer customized options for personalized services or a one-size-fits-all approach? How much flexibility is allowed for employees with busy schedules outside of work? Can employees participate during work hours? What exactly can they gain by participating in a program that promotes health? Will the benefits be financial, tangible, practical, or otherwise directly applicable to their current situation, or will they be more abstract and hard to measure? These questions and possibly others must be answered to employees' satisfaction if they are going to be enticed to try the program.
No matter how the program's expenses are covered—100% by the employer, 100% by the employee, or somewhere in between—if employees do not perceive that the benefits of the program outweigh their own personal costs, they will not participate. Even if a program is free of charge, some employees may find it too expensive in terms of time, location, special clothing, or equipment. Whether the costs are in dollars, hours, or ounces of sweat, the employees' perception must be that they have more to gain than they have to lose.
Price considerations exist from the employer's perspective as well. Some employers will find that a program is not financially feasible unless it is partly funded by the participants or unless participation occurs only on employees' time. Will this compromise employee participation? Will employees resent paying even a small percentage and consequently choose not to participate? Or, if employees are charged a modicum up-front fee to participate, can they qualify for a full refund if they participate in a designated number of programming sessions? Such questions need answers before the program is launched.
Another consideration for WHP practitioners is which employees to focus on when starting the program. Should the program target all employees equally, or should only particular groups be targeted? Keep in mind that success or failure is often determined in the early stages of any endeavor. If the program is to receive a trial run, it might be best to include only some employees rather than all of them. This way, if the trial fails, the program can be adjusted and restarted without losing credibility with everyone. If all employees are targeted and the first run of the program fails, it will be more difficult to create enthusiasm again.
Some WHP programs (e.g., disease management and case management) aim at only high-risk employees because the services are designed to meet specific needs. However, it is also true that some high-risk employees are less likely to participate in a WHP program than employees at moderate or low risk. Why is this? Part of the reason is explained in the preceding section: Some workers simply feel that their cost in time or exertion is not worth the benefits they may receive from the program. The same factors that have led to their high-risk status make them less likely to sacrifice time and effort for health improvements. Conversely, employees whose healthier lifestyles keep them at relatively low risk may be more likely to participate in a WHP program because the program is aligned with their current values. Such considerations, although potentially disheartening for WHP practitioners, need to be acknowledged and dealt with if the program is to have realistic goals and successfully counter potential pitfalls.
It can be worthwhile to vary aspects of a WHP program for different groups of employees. If possible, an employer might consider offering a cafeteria-style program in which employees choose portions of the program that they perceive best suits them. For instance, instead of focusing on nutrition or stress management for all employees in a given week, a program might give employees the option to forego that week's designated activity and spend an additional week in another program instead.
Sometimes it can be advantageous to target employees by stratified groupings based on age, gender, type of occupation, or other factors. This allows employees to focus on the areas they are most concerned about. For example, 20- to 30-year-old men might be more interested in weight training based in fitness centers than older employees, who are probably more interested in a financial-wellness seminar or program on medical self-care.
The fourth dimension of the marketing mix, promotion, is focused on the tools and techniques used to the reach the target population. Appropriate tools should be used to effectively reach as many employees as possible. In a single worksite where all employees work in a common setting, promotional displays in heavily traveled areas may be sufficient to reach most employees (see figure 7.1). However, in worksites where employees work in different buildings, point-of-contact tools, such as e-mail, paycheck stuffers, company website postings, and weekly safety meetings, are generally used to reach dispersed groups of employees.

Who is Maclin? I don't follow MU, but the Maclin I have watched play form MU won't be around for the 2nd round, assuming if he goes out for the draft.
I would have to think he is easily a top 3 receiver in the draft. I don't know if it is MU fans, but someone is saying he could be a candidate for the Heisman. If that is true, he is definately gone 1st round.

"Men of a Certain Age" won't be getting any older at TNT.
The cable channel announced Friday (July 15) that it's canceling the series, which has earned two Emmy nominations for Andre Braugher but didn't attract a big enough audience to keep it on the air.
"TNT has been proud to be a part of 'Men of a Certain Age' for two seasons," TNT says in a statement. "While the show has featured great storytelling and impeccable performances, the audience simply hasn't built to the point where we can continue the series. This was an extremely difficult decision for us. We wish [co-creator/star] Ray Romano, [co-creator] Mike Royce and the terrific cast and crew of 'Men of a Certain Age' the very best and look forward to exploring new programming possibilities in the future."
"Men of a Certain Age's" season finale on July 6 averaged 1.8 million viewers, which was a bit of an improvement over prior episodes but was still well below the numbers for TNT's other original series. Braugher picked up his second straight Emmy nomination for his role as Owen on Thursday, but that and a set of pleas from prominent critics in the past week weren't enough to keep the show alive.

Applications | Reactivity |
Transfection | Human |
Western Blotting
Western blot analysis of extracts from HeLa cells, transfected with 100 nM SignalSilence® Control siRNA (Unconjugated) #6568 (-), SignalSilence® MKK3 siRNA I #6294 (+) or SignalSilence® MKK3 siRNA II (+), using MKK3 Antibody #9232 (upper) or α-Tubulin (11H10) Rabbit mAb #2125 (lower). The MKK3 Antibody confirms silencing of MKK3 expression, while the α-Tubulin (11H10) Rabbit mAb is used as a loading control.
SignalSilence® MKK3 siRNA II from Cell Signaling Technology (CST) allows the researcher to specifically inhibit MKK3 expression using RNA interference, a method whereby gene expression can be selectively silenced through the delivery of double stranded RNA molecules into the cell. All SignalSilence® siRNA products from CST are rigorously tested in-house and have been shown to reduce target protein expression by western analysis.
Quality Control
Oligonucleotide synthesis is monitored base by base through trityl analysis to ensure appropriate coupling efficiency. The oligo is subsequently purified by affinity-solid phase extraction. The annealed RNA duplex is further analyzed by mass spectrometry to verify the exact composition of the duplex. Each lot is compared to the previous lot by mass spectrometry to ensure maximum lot-to-lot consistency.
Directions For Use
CST recommends transfection with 100 nM MKK3 siRNA II 48 to 72 hours prior to cell lysis. For transfection procedure, follow protocol provided by the transfection reagent manufacturer. Please feel free to contact CST with any questions on use.
Each vial contains the equivalent of 100 transfections, which corresponds to a final siRNA concentration of 100 nM per transfection in a 24-well plate with a total volume of 300 μl per well.
MKK3 and MKK6 are two closely related dual-specificity protein kinases that activate p38 MAP kinase (1-5). MKK3 and MKK6 both phosphorylate and activate p38 MAP kinase at its activation site, Thr-Gly-Tyr, but do not phosphorylate or activate Erk1/2 or SAPK/JNK. Phosphorylation of p38 MAP kinase dramatically stimulates its ability to phosphorylate protein substrates such as ATF-2 and Elk-1. MKK3 and MKK6 are both activated by different forms of cellular stress and inflammatory cytokines (4,5). Activation of MKK3 and MKK6 occurs through phosphorylation at Ser189 and Thr222 on MKK3 (2) and Ser207 and Thr211 on MKK6 (4,5).

How do you know it's not rinsing? Did it do this before you replaced the 4 damping straps? Is the cold water turned off? Does it rinse ok on "small"? |

There was communication gap between my wife & I. She told me that It was not working properly. When I looked inside the washer, I could see that dampening strap were broken and so I thought that was the problem. She didn't mention the same until the I assembled the machine back and asked her to test the machine. Now, answers to your questions: Did it do this before you replaced the 4 damping straps Yes (that was the problem she had noticed but I didn't know or understand) Is the cold water turned off? No (Temp setting is Warm Cold) Does it rinse ok on "small"? Yes machine is ok for Small & Medium load. |

Let's try something. Put the timer at the beginning of a regular wash cycle. Pull the timer knob out. While it is filling feel the water coming in. With you other hand move the temp selector from hot/cold to warm/cold to cold/cold. Was it hot when it was supposed to be? (sometimes have to wait for the water to get hot) Was is warm when it was supposed to be? Was it cold when it was supposed to be? Did the force of the water change much during this? |

help_me Grasshopper
Water temp changed as expected. Water force increased when changed to Hot/Cold to Warm/Cold and then reduced when changed to Cold/Cold. I thinking to check one more thing. We will use medium load but keep the setting at "extra large" and will check it works. May be now machine can't wash heavy load. |

That is a single speed machine. The only difference between regular and delicate is the duration of the cycle. Delicate beats the crap out of the clothes just as hard as regular, but only for a few minutes less. Having said that, do the next load on extra large and regular. The duration of the spin cycle will be longer. |

Budget Appliance Repair Fellow, Academy of Sublime Masters of Appliantology
Have you removed the front from the machine and checked the belt to make sure it is tight and not covered with oil by any chance? If the machine isn't spinning fast enough to remove the correct amount of water from the clothing then you have a possibility of 4 problems 1) Loose/worn belt 2) Belt covered with oil from a leaking lower transmission seal 3) Bad cluth 4) Bad center tub bushing locking up because water has seaped past center tub seal and caused the bearing to begin seizing up.

We did one more test with our washine machine to find out what is the problem. Looks like it can not take much load anymore. With "Extra large" setting, if we load it with medium-load, everything works out ok. With extra large load, the clothes will be washed & rinsed (no soap, etc left in them) but the clothes will be wet. Normally at the end of the washing cycle, the water doesn't drip from the clothes but in case of extra large load, it does. Does this zero-down to any specific problem? Pleae let us know. Thanks AJ |

Tauber, Richard (touˈbər) [key], 1891–1948, Austrian tenor. He made his debut (1913) in Chemnitz, Germany, as Tamino in Mozart's Magic Flute. Later he sang in opera and concert all over Europe and made his American debut in 1931. Although he was noted for his operatic roles and as a lieder singer, Tauber was best known for his work in operettas, particularly those of Lehar; in 1946 he appeared in New York City in Yours Is My Heart, an adaptation of Lehar's Land of Smiles. In 1938 he fled Austria, becoming a British subject in 1940.

In every basic economics or introduction to business class since the original "Adam Smith," the business student has learned that competition between strong competitors is good for the consumer. As competing businesses battle for consumer acceptance, these businesses tend to offer some combination of better services, higher quality or lower prices in order to entice the consumer to acquire the products or services of that business.
Texas' newest United States senator is attracting quite a bit of attention in Washington. Apparently, Ted Cruz is stepping on lots of toes in his early entrance into the good ole boys club known as the United States Senate. Recently, Cruz was criticized for inferring former Sen. Chuck Hagel, the president's selection for Defense Secretary, had taken money from Iran, Saudi Arabia and/or North Korea. He further alleged Iran had celebrated the nomination of Hagel as Defense Secretary of the United States. The allegation concerning Iran's celebration turned out to be patently false.

Bill Hobby, a former Texas lieutenant governor, was often quoted as saying any impending legislative session would be about the allocation of money or appropriation of tax dollars. All else, said Hobby, was poetry.
I'm not sure it was poetry, but anything other than the allocation of money fades into obscurity during any legislative session. Always the last and most important focus of any session is the passage of the appropriations bill and adjustments for differences therein between the House and Senate.

They've got muck; we've got rakes. TPM Muckraker
Thwarted New York Terror Plot: How Serious Was It?
The men -- James Cromitie, David Williams, Onta Williams and Laguerre Payen -- were petty criminals who had met in prison. They do not appear to have been acting in concert with any larger terrorist group. All are native-born Americans, except for Payen, who is Haitian.
There's no doubt the men expressed violent sentiments towards Jews and others, and a desire to commit large-scale terror acts. According to the complaint, at one point during the planning, Cromitie said: "I hate those motherfuckers, those fucking Jewish bastards ... I would like to get [destroy] a synagogue." In that same conversation, he also said, referring to the Twin Towers: "The best target was hit already."
Separately, during the planning, Onta Wiliams said, in substance, "they [the US military] are killing Muslim brothers and sisters in Muslim countries, so if we kill them here with IEDs and Stringers it is equal." And David Williams (it's unclear whether the two are related) said that if Jews were killed "it does not matter."
But it's not clear whether these men would have carried out any terror plot without encouragement and material support from an FBI informant. The New York Times reports that "a federal law enforcement official described the plot as "aspirational" -- meaning that the suspects wanted to do something but had no weapons or explosives."
Indeed, the complaint paints a picture of a plot in which the FBI informant played a central role from the start. The informant met Cromitie, the apparent ringleader of the plot, last June at a Newburgh mosque. Cromitie told the informant that his parents had lived in Afghanistan, that he was upset about the US killing Muslims in Afghanistan and Pakistan, and that he would like to do "something to America." Soon after, the informant falsely told Cromitie that he (the informant) was a member of the Pakistan-based terror group Jaish-e-Mohammed. Cromitie said he too would like to join, in order to "do Jihad."
From there, the plot began to slowly take shape, with the informant playing a central role throughout. The informant helped to procure fake homemade bombs, and accompanied the men in obtaining a surface-to-air guided missile system and three IEDs. The informant also accompanied the men in buying handguns for use in the plot.
So based on what we know, it looks like the suspects had definite intentions to follow through on their ambitions to commit violence -- but whether they had the wherewithal and resources to have done so without the help of the informant is less clear.

Crumar Bit One
The Bit One is a 6 voice programmable polyphonic analog synthesizer with digital control that rivals the Roland Juno-106 synthesizer. The 61-note keyboard is equipped with velocity which is a rare option among similar synths! The 2 computer controlled oscillators, 6 voltage controlled filters, 6 VCAs and 2 LFOs each per voice, easy hands-on editing and a double/split mode keyboard make this one phatt analog polysynth! A few let-down features of the Bit One stand in the way of an otherwise great synth. The MIDI implementation is useable but poor and there are only 63 memory patches. The Bit One has been used by 808 State and Cirrus.

Does anyone actually buy into the theories posited on this show? I find what they postulate interesting, yet they haven't come up with anything that just screams alien intervention. Nothing seems to be built with materials unavailable to humans of the time. None of the building seem to have any type of unexplained technology. They don't even have a trinket that cannot be explained. It's entertaining, but just reeks of people desperate to make a connection that just isn't there.
Not one jot. It would be more accurate and informative if they had a spinning wheel which had a number of crackpot theories, by which they would spin it and proceed with some kind of bullshit explanation based on whatever theory was randomly chosen by that wheel. We could have such choices as "Space Monkey", "Magic Intelligent Meteor", or "Elvis Costello".
The idea of "ancient aliens" isn't exactly new. It's been around for at least a century, if not more and to date, as far as I can tell there hasn't been a shred of solid evidence to back it up. Is it possible pre-historic humans at some point in the past encountered intelligent non-terrestrial life forms? Sure, but that's a far cry from proving it ever actually happened. As for the show itself, I did what a lot of it, not because I buy into the idea so much as I find some of the real archaeological cases interesting...plus I have to admit I tend to think that all the supposed accounts of advanced technology witnessed my ancient peoples is more likely to point towards a lost chapter in human history. Also no an original idea I know *cough*Atlantis*cough* and again, it's not proof, but I think it's inherently more likely than "aliens did it." What really bugs me though is what did that bloke to to make his hair dresser hate him so much?
I've not watched the show, but paleocontact is definitely a possibility. There's no evidence for such however – and, indeed, alien contact is considered so unlikely right now that you'd need something pretty big. So if the show is trying really trying to paint anything in our history as evidence of alien contact, it's bollocks. I've never seen anything that's easily unexplainable without aliens, and what's more – I'd have doubts for anything large-scale. Why? If there was a paleocontact, the more extensive it was, the more likely it would have left undeniable evidence. I'm completely not buying anything about ancient buildings, especially huge ones like the pyramids. If they were built with alien help, there would something screaming alien in there. That said, I'm pretty sure a lot of events from our history are pretty consistent with alien contact, and I've found too many things in our culture to be eerily fitting with such tales. Carl Sagan cited Oannes as an example of such story. Of course, that's still not evidence (or at least not very good evidence), but since it's indirect, you wouldn't expect alien fingerprints all over, so it actually might be aliens. The real question is how common aliens are in our universe, and how many advanced civilizations are there right now in 100 light year radius. If there are more than two, well, I'd say there were ancient astronauts here at some point, possibly coinciding with our civilisation. If that's the case certain historical tales can be interpreted as evidence for such contact. If aliens are rarer (pretty damn likely), well, we've got nothing.
The producers aren't desperate to make a connection, they're just pandering to the kinds of people who already believe this anyway and are looking for something to reinforce their beliefs (much like the people they interview for the show itself). As to the overall idea, I doubt it very much. On the one hand, westerners have a long history of looking down on foreign civilizations as being backwards or barbaric based on some arbitrary standard, usually something to do with technology; in point of fact, our society is not a whole lot better developed or organized than ancient civilizations of 4000 years ago, the only difference is our technology is better and our populace and infrastructure is a lot cleaner. Ancient Rome wouldn't be all that different from a modern superpower if they had mastered electricity or figured out how to make concrete, and they missed out on those innovations only for lack of development time. The most realistic version of the theory is that some alien probe or small expedition got stranded on Earth and it was, in the end, a one-time freak meeting between two different species... on the other hand, the odds that the aliens would have had enough common ground with humans to communicate with them AT ALL is extremely slim, even if they were able to survive in our environment long enough to make the attempt, even if the humans they encountered recognized them as "beings from another world" instead of "funny looking animals carrying bits of things on their backs." It's actually more likely that the first contact between humans and aliens would have involved a dying alien breathing his last dying gasp as an ancient hunter-gatherer watched him from the bushes wondering what he might taste like.
Obviously Mr. Tsoukalos is a decendent of those ancient aliens. The funky hair. The orange skin. The hair may be something used by his species for finding a mate, similar to a peacock.
I love their best argument: this rock was to heavy to move so it must've been aliens! From another board I frequent:
I've seen the show and I think it's entertaining bullshit, and that's about it. Definitely not something I would take the least bit seriously. Saying "we can't explain this, therefore aliens" is, to me, just like saying "we can't explain this, therefore God did it." It's a copout instead of an answer.
Ah, Ancient Aliens one of my guilty pleasures. I especially like the way that the narrator always says things like "Could Aliens..." or "If Aliens had...," I always interpret it as a kind of backhanded disclaimer. Those lines and the Whale Wars opening "warning" where they say that they views of the show are not the views of the producers are such great honesty in television--"Look, folks we don't believe this shtuff, we just hope you find it as entertainingly bad as we do."
Could an Alien civilisation have visited Earth in it's past. Whilst it is possible, I'm unconvienced that they have. Even if there are Alien Civilisations within 100ly from Earth. We might not even detect them, we turned our radio telescopes to them after the last radio transmission would have reached Earth. They didn't develop radio and invented something else etc..
[yt]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IABsBprJJPo&feature=related[/yt] This guy is a goldmine of bullshit. The hair is just the icing on the cake.
I think it's entirely possible that aliens visited Earth in the past. Some of the cave drawings depicting possible astronauts and ancient structures that they can't figure out how they were built make the show very interesting at times. However; there are some crazy theories that even a nutjob wouldn't believe.
I think we ought to expect that we are in one of the most simple universes that support sentience – should the universe be any more simple, it would have been pretty unlikely for sentient beings to appear, should the universe be any more complex, it itself becomes unlikely. If that's true, I'd expect that there's some difficulty still in sentient life forms appearing here, so they wouldn't be exactly all over the place. In which case I'd expect no visits, possibly not even future contact – hey, if the closest aliens are in Andromeda, we've got one chance in a several billion years to meet them, and we are most certainly going to miss it. That totally sucks. Lately I kinda given up any hope for aliens. Hopefully future studies on evolution and abiogenesis prove me wrong.
AND if the romans knew - and actually applied - such things as human rights (see the rights of slaves, peasants, etc) AND an equitable political system (see how patricians kept for themselves wealth, power and everything else worth keeping) AND science and technology (which is not even close to being reductible to only concrete - which they knew about - and electricity: these are details that fit into a MUCH larger scheme) AND were a LOT less aggressive (their entire economy was a raubwirtschaft, based on conquest of the subhuman - subroman, that is - peoples beyond the borders of the empire), etc. You have an unaccurately high opinion of the Roman Empire. No political entity in history matches modern liberal democracies (imperfect as they are) when it comes to wealth, liberty, equality of chances, human rights, etc (as in, quite a few other highly relevant/objective criteria). Those human rights violations and wars implicating liberal democracies you hear reported about in outraged terms are all but jokes by comparison to what the romans (and pretty much everyone else) were doing throughout history (and someone daring to be outraged by them, if he had any influence was promptly executed/imprisoned in some hell hole/etc).
I know this is completely off topic, and I apologize, but this just bugged me. Romans actually did invent concrete (that's how the Pantheon was built), but the knowledge was lost due to the barbarian invasions. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_concrete And to give this a more "ancient alienish" spin, I'll just say that this is a good example of how we underestimate the abilities of ancient civilizations. There's no need to attribute alien assistance to any of their achievements. Then again, that doesn't mean they haven't visited. But if they had, I'd be more inclined to believe we were for them more like an ants nest, or some monkeys or something, i.e. of no particular interest (given the age of the universe, and the relatively small time it would take for a civilization to develop, the chances of a neighboring visiting civilization being on the roughly same level as us are minuscule... then again, maybe not... maybe a relatively equally developed civilization from a somewhat more distant part of the galaxy developed FTL and bumped into us, but I'd wager they'd too just leave us alone... unless a couple of them crash-landed and the locals helped them, and they taught them stuff in return, but as I said that's more SF, and not science or history, it's not probable nor is there any evidence whatsoever.).
On Rome. I think basic understanding of inflation would have gone a long way (given their advances, the complete cluelessness of something that seems common sense to us is hard to grasp). On the show. It reminds me a bit of people who thought there was some lost civilization in the Mississippi River valley because Native Americans couldn't have built the Mounds. While I don't think this show is racist, I do think it undercuts genuine human achievement by wanting to credit an outside force. In that sense, it's a shame. We've done a lot of cool shit over the last couple thousand years. Nothing in our history needs aliens in order to have a satisfactory explanation. That doesn't mean there's never been any contact, but it does make pervasive contact unlikely.
There are really people who think Native Americans couldn't have built the Cahokia Mounds? I mean, they're big piles of dirt. Just takes a lot of dirt, time, and manpower--not any really special technology. Likewise, the Pyramids were also quite doable with the available technology, it just took a lot of time and effort. I think that's the part modern people (maybe just Westerners) have a hard time grasping: construction projects lasting for decades or even centuries, generations of workers participating. The idea of sticking with anything that long must seem a bit, well, alien.
My favourite caption for that picture is "I didn't hear your question but the answer is Aliens." The show, for the most part, is a steaming pile of BS. My girlfriend and I watched the first few seasons and found it moderately entertaining and a few "theories" were intriguing enough to dig a little deeper into. Then the fourth season arrived and it was simply re-hashing the same old stories from the earlier seasons and neither of us could sit through an episode without groaning and turning it off. Some of their guests are interesting choices and there seems to be some selective editing going on. In season one or two, they had Graham Hancock and Robert Bauval and neither of them have ever expressed a belief in ancient aliens. Last year, when we interviewed Duncan Lunan (who knows both of them), he stated that Hancock doesn't believe in aliens at all and that he believes in an ancient advanced human civilisation. South Park did a lovely job sending the show up with their History Channel Thanksgiving episode.
