BELLA VISTA, Calif. (Oct. 19, 1999) -- Shasta County's second wildfire in three weeks claimed dozens of homes and is likely to expand local faith-based recovery efforts.
Initial reports indicate 70 to 100 homes destroyed and losses estimated at $6 million for the 25,925-acre fire that swept across Shasta County early Saturday near the communities of Bella Vista and Palo Cedro. Fueled by 40-mph winds and acres of dry vegetation, the wildfires cut a 17-mile long swath at least 1.5 miles wide in some areas, said Dee Cloyd, a field information specialist for the California Department of Forestry. No cause has been determined.
More than 2,900 firefighters battled the blaze, which was 82 percent contained on Monday morning. A volunteer firefighter died when struck by a firetruck, but no serious injuries were reported. The Community Baptist Church in Bella Vista also burned down.
Local damage assessment teams went house-to-house on Monday to begin compiling the fire's final toll, said Cloyd, and evacuated residents began returning home as early as Sunday afternoon.
For Shasta County residents, the wildfire season is coming to a costly close. On Sept. 26, a 2,500-acre blaze destroyed 64 homes in the Happy Valley area, some 30 miles southwest of Saturday's fire. Since that disaster, local pastors formed an interfaith board to handle local recovery.
Mike Evans, coordinator for FaithWORKS, a county coalition of faith-based organizations that assists people make the transition from welfare to work, is meeting with Bella Vista area ministers to gauge interest for a similar effort there. FaithWORKS is providing 501(c)(3) nonprofit status for the Happy Valley organization, and would do the same for a second interfaith committee.
"We've had a flood of inquiries from the faith community," said Evans, describing the concern that mirrors the Happy Valley disaster. Housing will be the primary need, he added, and he is awaiting final destruction figures from the county.
While Bella Vista and Palo Cedro are more affluent than Happy Valley, Evans says the fire damage initially appears to have affected low-income areas. Based on where the fire occurred, he estimates about half of the destroyed residences will be mobile homes. In any case, the destruction likely will be twice as extensive as Happy Valley, which was declared the 11th worst fire disaster in California history.
Evans' inclination is to form an interfaith group separate from the Happy Valley board to give the Bella Vista organization more local control. A strong cadre of pastors and local officials exists there, he said, and he is confident the faith community will agree to an interfaith effort.
"We're going to try to replicate what we're doing in Happy Valley," he said. "The need for a localized approach is the strongest."
In Happy Valley, the interfaith board is meeting Tuesday and will be busy recruiting a director/case manager. Evans hopes to generate volunteer clerical assistance and donated space. Local churches are considering a general offering for the Happy Valley fire disaster before the Thanksgiving holiday.
Two devastating wildfires in the same season appears unprecedented in Shasta County as officials could not recall worse residential damage during the fire season.
California Gov. Gray Davis also declared a disaster in Bella Vista and is seeking assistance from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Happy Valley also received a disaster declaration, but there is no word whether FEMA might provide federal assistance.
Shasta County isn't the only hot spot in California. A 42,000-acre fire near Lake Berryessa in Napa County claimed one home over the weekend, while in Yuba County, a 5,500-acre blaze caused evacuations in Dobbins and Challenge.
Two other major fires are burning in California, but firefighters have them mostly under control and no property is lost. A 110,000-acre blaze is under way at in Trinity National Forest northwest of Weaverville, while wildfires already consumed 84,000 acres in Los Padres National Forest east of San Luis Obispo.

Mecklenburg County is a county located in the U.S. state of North Carolina. As of 2008, the population was 902,803. Its county seat is Charlotte. It is the most populous county in the state.
Mecklenburg County was formed in 1762 from the western part of Anson County. It was named for the German state of Mecklenburg-Strelitz.
In 1768 the part of Mecklenburg County west of the Catawba River became Tryon County. The Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence was allegedly signed on May 20, 1775; if the document is indeed genuine, Mecklenburg County was the first part of the Thirteen Colonies to declare independence from Great Britain. In 1792 the northeastern part of Mecklenburg County became Cabarrus County. Finally, in 1842 the southeastern part of Mecklenburg County was combined with the western part of Anson County to become Union County.
James Knox Polk, the eleventh President of the United States, was born here in 1795 in what is now Pineville.

Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate Deborah Ross of Raleigh, North Carolina, wants to hobble the hinges on the "revolving door" from Congress to lobbying by barring former politicians from taking lobbyist jobs until they've been out of office for 10 years.
Ross' support for making former federal lawmakers wait 10 years to lobby – instead of the two-year ban under current law – is part of an ethics plan her campaign unveiled Monday. Public opinion polls show a tightening race between Ross – who was a lobbyist for the American Civil Liberties Union in North Carolina for five years before she was elected to the legislature – and incumbent Republican U.S. Sen. Richard Burr in North Carolina.
Evidence shows that increased political contributions correspond with more success in landing government contracts. . . . I'll support proposals that close these loopholes and crack down on pay-to-play schemes for government contractors.
Deborah Ross, candidate for U.S. Senate
Ross says her plan to "clean up politics" includes:
▪ A 10-year "cooling off period" between leaving office and lobbying. The last Democrat to serve as a senator from North Carolina, Kay Hagan, is now a consultant at a D.C. lobbying firm but will not be able to register as a lobbyist until next year.
▪ New federal laws to effectively undo the 2010 Citizens United Supreme Court decision, which allows companies and unions to spend unlimited amounts of money on political advertising to support or oppose candidates.
▪ Banning businesses from writing off city- and county-level lobbying expenses on their tax forms, Such write-offs already are banned for federal lobbying.
▪ A ban on direct campaign donations from business executives and lobbyists who work on federal government contracts and from political action committees that work on behalf of federal contractors.
"Evidence shows that increased political contributions correspond with more success in landing government contracts," Ross says on her campaign website.
Also on Monday, Ross' campaign criticized Burr – a two-term senator from Winston-Salem – for his opposition four years ago to a bipartisan bill that would keep politicians and their staffs from profiting from insider trading by virtue of having access to nonpublic information that could affect stock prices and markets. Burr was one of three senators to vote against the bill, which is now law.
Burr didn't support the legislation – called the STOCK (Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge) Act – because federal securities laws on the books then and now already prohibit insider trading by anyone, including politicians and aides, his office said Monday.
Burr's office in D.C. says claims that the senator opposed the 2012 STOCK Act to benefit himself are "bogus"
"Senator Burr agreed with the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service at the time the original STOCK Act was passed – that insider trading was already illegal and redundant laws are one of the many problems coming from Washington," Burr spokeswoman Becca Glover Watkins said in a statement to McClatchy.
Ross' criticism echoed a story about four years ago by the Huffington Post, which wrote that federal financial disclosures showed Burr had personal investments in alternative fuels while he championed a bill that would give tax credits for vehicles that run on natural gas.
Burr's campaign did not comment on Ross' claims Monday, but his Senate office pushed back. Watkins said the bill did not pass and therefore "could not have changed any value of any stock." Plus, she said, Burr has an adviser who manages his portfolio and the senator does not approve any stock purchases.
The attack on Burr's ethics record comes as Ross and other down-ballot Democrats face questions about the trustworthiness of their own presidential nominee, Hillary Clinton.
Last week, on the campaign trail in Burr's hometown, Ross bluntly called Clinton's handling of sensitive State Department emails on a private home server a "mistake" and a "mess."
Asked then about news reports that donors to the Clinton Foundation may have been given special access to Clinton and her staff while she served in the Obama administration as secretary of state, Ross avoided the kinds of direct criticisms she's offered of Clinton's email handling.
Donors and big companies shouldn't "get special access and special perks," Ross said last week without mentioning Clinton before moving on to stress her own record on ethics legislation as a former N.C. state representative from 2003 until 2013.

Sounds like a raving of a maniac, No? Yes, apparently it is. But there is some amount of truth behind the statement. Curious to know the truth? You have to be; death is the only certain thing in human life. None can deny this.
So, why I am making such a statement? You must have been bored by now, but can you deny that averting death on roads due to road accident is possible? I know that you cannot. Because there is always a preventable cause behind such deaths.
The shocking scenario
Driving on any Indian roads is something like passing through a chaos. This is free-for-all-situation! Wow! Everyone shifting lanes, taking turns at his own free sweet will. The result is what has to happen is happening.
Both WHO and UN accepted road accident as the most contributing factor of death due to preventable causes. According to official statistics around 140000 of people in our country die of such preventable road accidents. Though India account for less than 3% of the world vehicles, we contribute almost 10% of the total deaths due to road accidents! And if the trend persists only God knows where we will land in the next 10 years!
Source: http://www.team-bhp.com/
The condition is so serious that it does not spare anyone. The VVIPs are also victims of road accidents. Even our central Cabinet Minister Gopinath Munde died in a car crash recently.
Is that what we have a car for?
Certainly not! But this is a very common scene that we always find while driving on highways. We have transformed our national highways into a real; real death trap and a mortuary for crashed vehicles. We simply see and pass by without thinking that this is our national loss in terms of money and invaluable life of our fellow countrymen.
But who is to be blamed for the outcome?
The first and foremost name that comes to the mind is the driver. But blaming someone has never been able to solve any problem. We must ask ourselves rephrasing the question as what are the main attributes. Here lies the answer. Read any newspaper and you will find that there are fatal crashes for (i) high speed driving, (ii) boozed driving, (iii) driving while speaking on cell phones and last but not the least (iv) breaking safety rules.
Shall we repent or do something?
Repenting and accepting the accident as an act of luck will not get you anywhere. None can reverse a death. It is well known to all; but we can very well avert the deaths due to causes that could have been prevented. But how? We all know the answer but being escapist always pose to be ignorant just for the fear of doing something proactively. Alas! This cannot go for long. We must accept our responsibility to ensure safety to our fellow motorists and fellow countrymen at all costs.
Blue citizenship! Opening a new horizon!
As the earth appears to be blue from outside, inspired by this hue, the 'Blue Citizenship' movement of Nissan addresses safety efforts encouraging drivers and passengers to follow safety norms through interactive transactional sessions. Already more than 2 lakhs of people have been covered and the entire country will be brought under its purview gradually.
Source: http://www.nissan.com.vn/
Social amnesia! Or something else?
We are basically bigmouths and love to break rules. And our families are paying the price of our recklessness. Wherever you go, you will find posters with slogans on the two sides of the road and those are confined to displays only. Drivers pass those in split seconds contradicting what it intends to communicate. Even today so many years after independence we could not grow into a nation and forget that we cannot shake the responsibility of making Indian nationals safe.
Source: Team-bhp.com
The disease and our responsibility
Every minute there is a road accident either killing or injuring people. Do you know that almost 97% of the Indian roads do not have any footpath? The story does not end here. Around 20 children under the age of 14 succumb to death everyday on Indian roads?
There is an adage that says "to be successful we must invite the future". Yes we are always doing that the other way round! We really invite our future disaster when we do not follow the road safety rules. Can we forget that every driver has a social responsibility to maintain road safety etiquette for making others safe?
Living in a fool's paradise!
All of us maintain safe distance from others while walking. But do we do so while we drive? The answer is diabolically 'NO'. This is really callous. We take precaution when there is less danger and do the opposite when we know it can be fatal! Regular counseling of drivers with tightening the licensing and vehicle fitness procedure with respect to safety standards is a must.
Our dream intervention in road safety
We must ensure compulsory use of seat belts and helmets. The law should be enforced rigidly and the law breakers be dealt strongly with deterring penalties. Only this can reduce fatalities due to frontal crash.
Source: http://fareastgizmos.com
Improvement in design and installing modern gadgets like safety- shield technology in the vehicles can only save our fellow citizens from frontal crash.
What about the unfortunate pedestrians? We cannot let them die! Do we? Only ensuring provisions for the pedestrians like sidewalks and wide road shoulders can bring the fatalities significantly down.
Only the above will not suffice. Improving surface condition, road signs, markings and also making different lanes for slow and fast moving vehicle has to be done.
The social evil of speeding up and driving after a booze has to be stopped by strict enforcement of law and enhancing awareness.
Even if we could implement all these overnight with the help of a magic wand; there will be some accidents. Only upgrading the infrastructure and accessibility of the trauma care centers for receiving medical care within the first crucial hour can change the situation.
Only interactive sessions with illustration can help
Nissan Safety Driving Forum has started road safety campaign to increase awareness about benefits of road safety along with safety technologies in cars. Belting up the people is the target they have chosen first and already started campaigning in several cities apprising people through interactive sessions. Nissan uses rollover and low-speed crash simulator for illustration. The drivers handling the simulators get really excited and promise to wear sit belts.

Well sorry to be boring but we have had another nice weekend and another exciting development in the world of bumpiness!
First the weekend – Bryan spent it with his cousin Ray and their mate Gary. I believe drink, pizza, xbox/PS3 and Star Trek movie were the main ingredients of the weekend. Meanwhile I took the excuse to nip down and visit my parents' for a wee trip. My photos from the trip are available on Flickr, just click here. My favourite picture is probably this one of a red squirrel:
I spent the weekend watching him/her and the family eating nuts, running across the garden and playing together. A couple of times I tried to creep up for a photo but gravel and heavy pregnant footsteps aren't a good cover!
I must admit to watching Britain's Got Talent this past week, and made Dad have it on in the kitchen whilst he tried to do Saturday night's guests as I wanted to see the final. I was supporting Julian Smith so was a bit disappointed he only got third but hopefully we'll see more of him anyway. I did think the winners were absolutely amazing as well. Mum was supporting the Scottish lady so was disappointed she only got second but I didn't see that refusing to smile was much of a talent….each to their own!!
I got two lovely surprises when I got to my parent's place – neither of them could wait to give me…presents!! Mum had found a lovely baby sleeping bag with "Rufus the Bear" on it, rather fitting as our first Gordon Setter was called Rufus! And then they had seen in a shop a lovely baby swing, which was something I'd mentioned wanting a baby seat or swing. Mum said it was too early to buy stuff for bump but Dad insisted that it might not be there nearer the time so they had to get it right then! He was so proud of it and had it set up swinging and singing with a teddy in the seat to demonstrate when I walked in!!! Think they might be excited about their first (and let's face it, I'm an only child and not likely to do this again) and probably only grandchild!
And lastly, what was the exciting development? Well I could say that my parents now have wi-fi in the hotel so I was able to Twitter from the garden, the kitchen and my room quite merrily!
But actually, the truth is, that this morning the baby moved, and I was able to watch it!! Yes my bump was wiggling! It was quite a bizarre experience but I guess I'll need to get used to it now its started!! All references to Aliens will be happily ignored so dinna start!!
Tonight I went into town and met my friends Jenny and Rob for dinner and a catch up at Pizza Express. Bryan was invited but had eaten enough pizza, and not had enough sleep, over the weekend so took a rain check!
Hope you're enjoying the sun too, and not being as silly as me – walk on Aberdeen beach on Friday and got sunburnt bit under chin, drive to Trossachs and back and got one sun burnt arm. Oops!

Probably one of the best translations of Rabindranath Tagore I have read, if I may say so myself. Being a native speaker of Bengali and an English professor, MA Quayum has been able to get into the innards of the author's culture, language, history, humour and politics, to present the stories intact, authentic and honestly, as is possible to be in a work of translation. Some are funny, some are sad and some are horrifying, not in a supernatural sort of way but in what man does to man (or women). Some of the stories in this collection (hand-picked by the translator) are so exquisitely multi-layered, so pregnant with the unsaid, that they will leave the reader breathless. Here is a glimpse of what an exceptional writer the man, popularly known as Gurudev (divine mentor), was. For those who have only heard of Gitanjali, get a peek of why so many Indians (especially Bengali speakers) love him so. In 1913, he became the first non-European to win the Nobel Prize in Literature.
Quayum's translation of Tagore's stories is exceptional in its retention of the subtleties of Bengali expression. It not only transfers the colloquialisms commonly used in a daily Bengali household but brings alive the minutiae of the rural milieu … The other outstanding feature is … Quayum's success with translating what is more complex – the intricacies of human relationships … Generally, the stories read almost as though they had been written originally in English. At no moment does the reader get lost in the translation, either linguistically, culturally or psychologically, and this surely is the ultimate test of a translation.
Transnational Literature, Australia
In any translation it is very difficult to keep intact the sense of each context. Quayum's translation is as close as one can get: clear, contemporary and accessible to a modern English-reading global audience. It is not handicapped by the ignorance of the translator of certain delicate nuances of the Bengali language, especially in the context of intimate household expressions. There is commendable fidelity and honesty in Quayum's translation. It once again opens up the possibility of discovering a relevance of Tagore's creations more than a century after they were composed…. Without hesitation I recommend Professor Quayum's volume as an authoritative and eminently readable translation, an essential Tagore for collectors. It should find a place on every discerning reader's shelf.
The Daily Star, Bangladesh
Quayum has a lifelong passion for Tagore's writing….. His translation shows a feel for Tagore's voice, vision and cultural milieu, and he is skilful with the suggestive undercurrents of Tagore's stories.
Cha: An Asian Literary Journal, Hong Kong
In this multicultural age, it is an absolute necessity for all of us to read diversely and think universally. Quayum's highly readable translation of Rabindranath's short stories will serve that cause, and also help to revive interest in the works of a literary genius who was once described by a French writer as "an eagle-sized lark."
Humanities Diliman, The Philippines
I can safely vouch that in giving us a high quality rendition of some of Tagore's best stories written over a span covering more than fifty years, Prof Quayum has filled more than just the simple gap of translation. Prof Quayum has now invited us to enjoy, rejoice and then, hopefully, act on the morality prompting both the creator of these rare gems as well as its current-day conveyor. Both deserve our undivided attention.
Professor Kirpal Singh, Singapore Management University
Trivia. Rabindranath Tagore was the only person to have written the national anthems for two countries: he wrote the songs which are now the national anthems: Bangladesh's 'Amar Shonar Bangla' and India's 'Jana Gana Mana'.

Set in a huge U.K. comprehensive school after lessons have finished for the day. A place of learning during the daytime, becomes a vast and deserted labyrinthine nightmare of endless corridors, empty classrooms, woodwork rooms, gyms, welding rooms, motor pool shops, canteens, photographic darkrooms, art studios and sports halls.
The school comes under relentless attack from a group of blood thirsty 'hoodies', intent on only one thing, to spread terror. Anderson must fight off these brutal killers, and his deepest fears, in a desperate battle for the survival of his pupils, fellow teachers and those he holds most dear.

Yes, you can.
try "\n"
Does this even work? Because I'm trying and it doesn't appear to?Can you give an example in code?
Thanks Monoszs , it works. "\r" instead of "\n" then.
I am now reviewing all of the Feature Requests, this will take some time, patience please.
Further work on the escape sequences has been done
Further work on the escape sequences needs to been done
Partial implementation - carried forward
Editor V0.47
Confirmed \r works for button also, as in b0.txt="alarm\rcancel".
However, can not set same string in editor so button is initialized with this string.
String is accepted in editor but printed in one line.
Same problem with text objects.
Also, while xcen=center, the 2nd line is not centered.
one only needs to break down the problem into achievable parts
and then build a multipart solution using these parts.
Line centering is also achievable by user code
total width of component, width of character, width of line (charwidth x qty)
add spaces where needed
Nextion's onboard MCU will not perform word processing.
Sorry you seem to misunderstand me. The first point of the request is to have the hmi static setting support the \r feature, the same as sending the data from the MCU. Some text and button labels are static so should not need to be managed by the external MCU. In general the editor supports this principal well, this is a small area for improvement.
"Nextion's onboard MCU will not perform word processing" - you have a rather aggressive attitude to paying customers taking time to provide suggestions which could benefit all. If you offer an alignment feature, and it turns out support multi-line strings - great, the alignment should work for all lines not just the first one. This should not be hard to implement.
Due to this (small) limitation, my user's editor static button and text lines must be confined to single lines.
This forum is public community support. First and foremost I am a Nextion user of this community. So you are no more a paying customer of mine than I am a paying customer of yours - well, perhaps until you have at some future point actually paid me, then your status would of course adjust.
\r has been implemented.
(check feature request status at top of the thread page)
in one version of the Nextion Editor there was indeed a bug, but since fixed
Your expectations of "me" to bend to what you want because you have purchased such an awesome device at a better than fair price and still like to have it perform more without needing user code - is perhaps unfounded.
So, I will evaluate the user request and make my recommendations
- obviously, the more votes will have some secondary influence
- opened by user twenty-one months ago
(who didn't realize \r was already implemented)
- zero votes out of 25,000 registered users in 21 months.
But perhaps more important in my recommendation considerations
- focus on the development of Nextion as an HMI device
- protection of the limited firmware space.
- avoid firmware bloat for function achievable by user code.
Realist !
As told this can be handled in code,
and I even told what is needed to consider to achieve it. ;)
Multi-line alignment .... is indeed word-processing.
Your static button does not need be limited to single lines
So since an MCU will only do exactly as instructed to do,
one only needs to exactly tell it what you want to achieve.
You must only write the additional code.
This can indeed be achieved in Nextion logic - no external MCU.
and you are right - this is not too hard to implement - in user code.
- but indeed not via firmware bloat.
Perhaps make a list of the functions that you are willing to give up
in firmware and recommend your word-processing multi-lined button
and see if the community will vote support for your recommendation.
But I do indeed represent all user requests, every single last one of them
No need for sugar coating ...
We are talking about programming MCUs in confined SRAM spaces
So to even to use Nextion, you are generally utilizing an MCU
- and this user chosen MCU that you use has itself limited capabilities.
The deeper you understand the programming of an MCU at lower levels
the more you will come to understand your Nextion
(which itself has an onboard MCU 8K/64K or 20K/128K depending on model)
But MCUs are exacting .. there is little reason to sugar coat - your MCU will not.
And it would make no sense for me to provide false hope
only that you have a feel good now, disappointment later is much worse.
An MCU should be purposefully programmed
what is not programmed purposefully will perhaps not render desired result.
But Nextion as an HMI device is also not an MCU replacement,
- users duty to select 1 of 63,000+ available MCUs
that best fits the needs and requirements of their project.
The onus of project logic is not push onto Nextion - MCU should remain in control.
The only reason I can think to push this into Nextion firmware is that the user side MCU is not capable of performing the task. But this then bounces back to the user's onus to select a proper MCU for their projects requirements. Selecting a PIC12F629 and claiming HMI device needs to be responsible for word processing because the PIC is not capable is not a good enough reason when user had responsibility over selection.
Human Machine Interfacing
an interface for presenting user choices and input
Nextion then makes an MCU request (MCU should always maintain control)
MCU decides if the request is valid and safe to do so
MCU to perform request if/when it was safe to do so
MCU provides user status/progress as to their request.
So, Nextion is not going to be a word-processor (unless user programs such)
it is not a phone/tablet/desktop/server/multimedia replacement
Multi-lined button code
- can indeed be implemented in Nextion Logic alone
- can indeed be handled by the MCU side code
But such coding discussions are for the Free Chat section of the Forum
and not at the bottom of a nearly two year old closed "Implemented" thread.
Wow. Ignoring the diatribe and focus on this statement;
"This can indeed be achieved in Nextion logic - no external MCU"
Super. Please indicate what to enter in the 0.47 editor txt field so that the \r works and two lines are displayed. I guess it's too much to ask that the center feature work for other than the first line but users can experiment with padding spaces to work around that I suppose.
e.g. equivalent of this string from an MCU;
Perhaps open the question in Free Chat
- then all in the community can benefit from
No one will look in an Implemented old thread to find their solutions

What You'll Get
Turn your bogeys into birdies and your eagles into condors with a newly improved golf swing. Today's deal gets you a day's worth of lessons and a full K-VEST golf-swing analysis with seasoned golf pro Keith Jarvis (a $940 total value). Your day lesson will be devoted to the swing analysis, which takes approximately one hour, followed by professional feedback and helpful tips for improvement. All lessons must be scheduled in advance.
K-VEST TPI 3-D is a portable, wireless system that lets you use live video, real-time audio, and visual biofeedback to get quick summaries on six swing essentials. Three state-of-the-art sensors in the vest, belt, and glove pick up data from your swing and transfer it to a computer. If you raise your club casually during the backswing, K-VEST knows. If your body turns toward the target in the backswing, K-VEST knows. If your backswing is about to hit a bystander, K-VEST knows (and snickers).
After your initial session and analysis, you will receive a three-hour private lesson with Keith Jarvis, during which he will butter your swing like a happy macaroni including driver, wedges, and putter instruction. Lunch at private club with Jarvis, and finish the day with more tips and pointers during nine holes of golf.
Jarvis has been teaching and playing professionally for nearly 20 years in the United States, Japan, and Mexico. He was a head honcho at The Heritage Golf Club in Atlanta and currently is a staff instructor for the Northcrest Academy of Golf.
Golf Digest, Golfweek, and The Boston Globe featured K-VEST. Former customers praise Keith Jarvis in online testimonials:
- It's called the K-VEST and since its arrival on the golf scene in 2006, it has been greeted with much fanfare from some of the game's most distinguished and celebrated players. – Jim McCabe, Boston Globe
- Learned so much about my swing that I never knew. I understand now where all of my issues on the golf course come from… Keith is a real pro. – Jason J, testimonial
The Fine Print
Promotional value expires Jun 20, 2011. Amount paid never expires. Limit 2 per person, may purchase multiple as gifts. Registration required. Merchant is solely responsible to purchasers for the care and quality of the advertised goods and services.
About Keith Jarvis Golf
Currently the Director of Instruction at Keith Jarvis Golf Academy, Keith and his staff of qualified instructors call upon his 24 years of experience as a professional player and coach to enhance each lesson. Students perfect swings for extra distance off the tee and practice short-game precision for more one-putts and fewer galleries showered with sand. Lesson programs incorporate the wireless 3D K-Vest, worn to limit extraneous movements and develop muscle memory during the swing, and Tomi putting equipment, which helps putters develop a consistent stroke.

It is often said that family law attorneys see people when they are at their worst. At The Susan Hicks Group, we are mindful of this and the stresses you are facing when you come to seek our advice. The members of our office - including the receptionist and office manager, our legal assistants and paralegals, and the attorneys - work together to help clients get through these difficult periods in their lives and move forward. We do not consider ourselves just attorneys, but also counselors at law. Every case is different and the obvious answer or what worked for the last client may not be right for you and your family.
A Team Approach to Family Law
During our consultations with you, we will listen closely to learn more about you, your family, your assets and your concerns. For example, if you have a child with special needs, the amount of child support calculated by the standard Virginia child support formula will not be enough. Our lawyers will help you obtain everything you are entitled to have under Virginia law, based on the unique facts of your case.
Our founding attorney, Susan Hicks has more than 25 years of trial experience in northern Virginia and has mentored each attorney in The Susan Hicks Group. Our family law attorneys have open door policies so that we can learn from each other, discuss a unique situation or set of facts, and share ideas about how to resolve a case. We also hold regular attorney meetings to discuss each case our firm is handling. If you call with a question and your attorney is unavailable, our goal is that any attorney in our office will be able to answer your question after quickly reviewing your file.
In terms of fees, we may seem more expensive than the average lawyer who provides family law services in northern Virginia based on our hourly rates. However, by the end of the case, your total fees are often less than they would be elsewhere. There is a simple reason for this: We know you are concerned about costs, and our dedicated family law attorneys and staff will work together to resolve your case in the most efficient and efficacious manner.
We represent clients in all aspects of family law and divorce in Fairfax, Loudoun, Alexandria and other communities in northern Virginia.

text: George Takei: Marriage is a union between two people who love each other, who are committed to each other, who care for each other, as the phrase goes, "till death do us part." The opponents of the equality for the LGBT people want to define it strictly as man and woman. The interesting thing is that those unions end up in divorce. The divorce rate is half the marriages that happen today break up in divorce. That lacks that essential element of a marriage: love that leads to commitment to each other, two people who are committed to each other. And so the Supreme Court recognizing that equality for two people who love each other who may be of the same sex is a major step forward. Again, throughout history we have been expanding equality to more and more people. When the nation was founded, the shining ideas were articulated by our forefathers who kept other human beings as slaves. When they said all men are created equal, they meant that literally. Women couldn't vote, couldn't own property, didn't have rights over their own children. So equality granted to the LGBT community now is in that American tradition of expanding equality to more and more people.

The lights are suddenly turned off signalling the beginning. Darkness descends over the entire crowd. There is a sense of excitement and anticipation in the air. With their cameras ready, the spectators wait patiently for the sponsor's commercial to be over and the lightning show to begin. The announcer's voice reaches a high pitch, indicating the end. There is a moment of silence and then, there is a sudden blast of music and the place totally illuminates!! The main lantern show is underway!! For three minutes, everyone is in awe as the 20 plus meter tall lantern changes colors as it rotates followed by a beautiful display of fireworks. Then, the main lantern lights are extinguished until the next lighting show which is scheduled to happen every 30 minutes!
The Taiwan Lantern Festival is an annual event that commences on the 15th day of the lunar calendar. Discovery Channel featured it as one of the best festivals in the world on its show called 'Fantastic Festivals in the World' and rightfully so; it is a huge event which takes several hours to explore and enjoy completely.
The location changes from year to year; two year ago it was held in Lugang, last year it was conveniently held in Hsin Chu just steps away from the High Speed Train Station, and this year ZhongXing New Village in Nantou County will host the festival. It is scheduled to begin on Friday, February 14th , 2014 and continue until Sunday, February 23rd, 2014.
The main lantern as well as several small lanterns scattered around the grounds usually center around the Chinese Zodiac animal of the year. Two years ago it the dragon, last year it was the snake, and this year it will be the horse. The main lantern usually stands at over 20 meters tall and this year, the golden horse will be 25 meters, the biggest main lantern yet.
The festival is usually divided into areas. There is the main lantern area where most of the larger lanterns are always placed as well as smaller lantern areas specifically created for competition purposes by students and the general public. There are also several theme lantern areas which vary from year to year and usually depend on what the host county is readily known for making or producing.
Transportation to the venue each year is very convenient. The organizers devise a bus networking system to get festival goers from major train and bus stations to the venue and temporary parking lots are set up on the outskirts of the host city or town with buses running regularly between the parking lot and the main festival area.
The festival is free to attend and as I have often said before, if you can attend on a weekday, then that is your best option. Weekends lead to lots of visitors and can cause headaches with regards to traffic, parking, viewing, and moving!!
Personally, this is my favorite festival held in Taiwan. There is something new and exciting to see every year and I get to explore a new area of Taiwan! The bright lights and beautiful lanterns make for great photo opportunities as well.
So if you happen to be in Taiwan between February 14th to the 23rd, be sure to pencil the Taiwan Lantern Festival into your travel itinerary! The bright lazer lights and 25 meter horse will be waiting for you!!
And with less than three weeks left before Chinese New Year Eve, my blog will be becoming festive as I paint the my blog red with pictures of spring couplets and red envelopes! So….Watch this space!!

Dalzell Creative Group evolved out of Dalzell Productions, one of New York's top live event practices, and is now a collective of creative strategic thinkers in the service of innovative real estate and open space planning, focusing on how to create new business models using creative industries through special events, cultural programming and public-private partnerships.
Beginning in 2001 Dalzell produced experiences for Ernst & Young and Cap Gemini, through Accelerated Solutions Environments and Idea Labs. Since then a number of experiences involving field- and thought-leaders became hallmarks of the Dalzell Productions portfolio, including 2007's Pangaea Day with TED and the development and production of 2010 and 2011's Municipal Art Society's Summit for New York City and 2010's New Museum Festival of Ideas main stage.
As inaugural producers of all Special Events for Tribeca Film Festival from 2002 through 2009, Dalzell worked to weave community goals, public-private location and funding partnerships and innovative programming into a series of New York mega-events. Collaborations with Brookfield Properties, the Durst Organization and Two Trees followed, through the re-imagination of the Dumbo Arts Festival and its integration with the resurgence of Downtown Brooklyn and the Barclays Center in 2012.
In 2009 Hudson Yards Development Corporation and the partners of Diller Scofidio + Renfro and Rockwell Group tapped Dalzell to study the opportunities private events can bring to new development, and since then the direct partnership with Culture Shed has grown to include research, models and presentation on multiple fronts: international program calendars, studies in comparable local and national space use, valuation of commercial and non-profit programming models, and considerations for a functioning and sustainable exhibit and production operation, as the concept of Culture Shed becomes the reality of the Culture Shed Organization in collaboration with Beckelman-Capalino and Bloomberg leadership.
KAREN DALZELL Executive Producer/President is a risk-taking visionary who has blurred boundaries of performance, business, art and technology since her very first exposure to the performing arts early in her career. Karen's career began with producing the Ottawa International Jazz Festival at the age of 23. Karen relocated to NY in 1993 to join the avant-garde theater scene, as a producer for the award-winning En Garde Arts theater company and as President of the Board at the prestigious Brooklyn gallery and performance space, GAle GAtes. Karen started Dalzell Productions in 2000 when her experience as a producer demanded horizons beyond off-off-broadway theater. As the firm's producing portfolio grew and her vision broadened, Karen began DalzellGreen, a pioneering extension into sustainable environmental practices and event design innovation. She is currently spearheading the firm's business development and cultural programming initiatives, consulting on development of the growing Dumbo Arts Festival in partnership with Two Trees, and a variety of projects with The Durst Organization, as well contributing to the process of envisioning the Culture Shed's programming potential. Dalzell is chosen when vision or even creative disruptive innovation is wanted—not an as-usual approach. Her particular skill is to combine creative, artistic production with new and inventive business models that provide a solid, sustainable basis for continuing, open innovation.
FRANK RILEY Sr. Producer/Vice President Frank Riley is a jack of many trades and leads Dalzell's award-winning design and production teams. He is a film and television veteran with experience at the Cannes Film Festival, MTV News and Docs, and a number of independent projects. As a graduate of NYU's Tisch School of the Arts, its School of Journalism and an MBA from its Stern School of Business, he is also a true student of New York and its environs.
Frank heads the firm's marketing consulting and new media projects, and in addition to working as the Executive Producer of Dumbo Arts Festival, he has also produced several recent public art and performance projects, including Esterio Seguro's Goodbye My Love in collaboration with Times Square Alliance, Rockefeller Brothers, and the Cuban Artist Fund (on display now at Anita's Way, One Bryant Park) and the upcoming multi-disciplinary experimental performance experience, chashama's Annual Gala.

|Is it really totally pathetic if I am completely unmotivated, and can't seem to force myself to do anything that I should do? and yet, I'm totally willing to do everthing that I shouldn't? I think it's pathetic, and I'm sick of it. And yet, for the life of me, I can't make myself change it! So I guess I'm just going to have to continue being a bum and not get anything accomplished that I should, and continue not caring. It's so easy.
Happy Valentines Day Everyone! I'm having a really really good day!!! even though I have over two hours till my next class........grrrr!! after spring break this will be better! I have to go to Meijer's today. I've been saying that for a week now, and I still haven't gone. SEE!! totally unmotivated!!! I don't know what's wrong with me!!! I just don't care! Maybe I'm finally sick of spending money, but that's doubtful, I think I am just sick of going to school. It gets in my way of doing stuff that I wanna do. Oh, and I'm sick of being told what to do. I wish so bad that I was more independent. Seriously, it's completely unfair the things that I still have to do. Maybe I just think so because I'm the one who has to do them, but it seems to me that once everyone on this planet is in college, and have a job, and pay for their own stuff, have a little bit more freedom than I have. I don't know, maybe it's just me.
But anyways, I got the best Valentines Day present this morning when Jake picked me up. It was the most thoughful present I have ever gotten. It means more when it's completely done to make you happy, and you know that every piece of it is honest and true. Ahhh, I am the luckiest person on this planet. I know that's what everyone says when they find someone to love, but honest to God, I am, we are the most perfect couple I have ever seen. I don't know, I can't stress enough how much he means to me, we've tried so hard to find the words that make what we feel for each other seem enough, but the words don't exist. We feel and mean more to each other that no words would ever be big enough, or have enough meaning to make it seem as big and important as it is. I LOVE JAKE MELLEMA, and that doesn't do it any justice.

of Kiss Coda Wiki
Warning: server setup needs a lot more understanding than a client setup, even if it is easy to set up a server. You have to learn how to administrate the resulting realm. We describe here a quick and handy way of server setup but do not cover administration.
The following should work on virtually any Linux distribution. It works also on FreeBSD and should work on NetBSD, given that Linux ABI support is activated in the kernel (you don't need any Linux-specific libraries).
Download a server installer corresponding to your architecture from
Make the file executable, then run it as root as follows, using the real file name:
chmod +x coser-.........
./coser-......... help
For the first server use something like
./coser-......... /vice 768 this.hostA.doma.in
then follow the installer dialogue.
The utilities to be used for starting, stopping and otherwise
administrating the server will be placed in
/vice/bin, the data container
files will be in
/vice/pa. All server files will be under
/vice so that
you get a clean "uninstall" if you remove
NOTE: do not try to be overly creative and directly run any binary you
may find under the installed
/vice directory. The entries in
are the only sane way to run the corresponding commands.
NOTE: realm naming is done via DNS and in general has nothing to do with host names of the servers. For testing you may choose the hostname of the only server to be used as the realm name, but this is not a scalable setup! Use DNS SRV records, as described somewhere else.
Note that the same installer is well suited for setting up multiple servers.
For creating an extra server in the same realm (in the example, on hostB)
get a copy of the scm server's
/vice/db/update.tk, put it somewhere,
in this example in
/tmp, and run
./coser-......... /vice 768 this.hostB.doma.in this.hostA.doma.in /tmp/update-tk-file
The dialogue gives you all the relevant information.
The description below assumes that the clients are using the newer "modular" clog. The Kerberos support in the traditional clog is not adequate.
Choose an existing Kerberos realm (or setup a new one) to use. The name of the Kerberos realm does not have to have any relation to the name of your Coda realm.
/vice/server.conf for the following statements being present and
not commented out:
You can also use any principal name instead of
but then each user will have to configure her clog to trust the principal
for your Coda realm authentication, to prevent possible principal
spoofing. So as long as you have some influence on the Kerberos realm
in question, ask them for
Put the keytab for the chosen principal into
Restart the authentication server:
/vice/bin/auth2server restart
From now on the users might be able to authenticate against your Coda realm by a clog command like the following:
clog -method kerberos5 <account>@<coda.realm> -krealm <kerberos.realm> [-servprinc <your.chosen.principal>]
To avoid the need for the users to supply the options (and possibly more options depending on how the Kerberos realm is set up) you should setup a Coda realm authentication advertisement service, a trivial inetd service for delivering a small text file to the clients. clog tries to retrieve this information automatically. It is best to have the service on all servers of the Coda realm.
The corresponding files can be placed anywhere on the Coda server hosts,
in the examples below they are placed in
inetd example:
codaauth2 stream tcp nowait root /bin/cat cat /vice/codaauth.conf
xinetd example:
service codaauthcat
type = UNLISTED
flags = REUSE
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = root
server = /vice/codaauthcat
port = 370
codaauthcat for
exec /bin/cat /vice/codaauth.conf
The codaauth.conf file is to contain the information necessary for clog to carry out the authentication. Below is an example to start with. Note that most of the options can often be omitted, the ones to be present are authority names, method types and in case of kerberos5 the krb5realm option.
# indents below are only for legibility but other whitespaces are significant
# 4 is the current version of the format
4 {
authorities {
<authority1> {
authmethod = kerberos5
methodopts {
krb5realm = <kerberos.realm>
# optional:
krb5kdcs {
# if the Kerberos realm is not represented by SRV records in DNS, then you may need the following:
# <kdc1>[:port]
# <kdc2>[:port]
# ...
# optional:
krb5options {
# most probably not needed, but with DCE Kerberos servers you would need
# withaddrs = yes
# proxiable = no
# optional (used for reference only, useful if non-standard) :
krb5service {
# normally the following is of the form codaauth/<your.coda.realm> :
# the following section is only necessary if you are running authd on hosts other than the file servers or on non-standard ports
# but it is no error to always supply this information here
tokensrvs {
# hosts running authd, the port field is necessary if you are running some authd server on a port other than 370
# <server1>[ port]
# <server2>[ port]
# ...
<authority2> {
authmethod = codapassword
# optional:
methodopts {
# the following section is only necessary if you are running authd on hosts other than the file servers or on non-standard ports
# but it is no error to always supply this information here
tokensrvs {
# hosts running authd, the port field is necessary if you are running some authd server on a port other than 370
# <server1>[ port]
# <server2>[ port]
# ...
Authority names are words of your choice designating different ways to authenticate against your Coda realm. In the example above the default is authority1, verifying the passwords against the given Kerberos realm using the given service principal. The user may choose to use her non-Kerberos Coda password instead by doing
clog <account>/<authority2>@<your.coda.realm>
Coda accounts shall be created explicitly even if Kerberos passwords are being used.
In the example above Coda account names must match the Kerberos user principal names.
Note that you can put Coda accounts corresponding to different authentication authorities into different name spaces, to avoid synchronization/collisions issues. This is to recommend, but it is slightly more complicated to setup. This is accomplished by supplying different authority options to different instances of authd daemons, you may need to run them on non-standard ports as well. This is not covered here.

The reason for that is the form: "My Encrypted Form"
You are asking for details which are against our terms of use, and as such your entire account has been suspended.
You can see more about this here: http://www.jotform.com/terms/
I am citing the segment of interest:

Thanks for the response. I thought the encrypted forms would be a great way to receive secure information from our clients, but I guess not.
I've removed the offending form. How long can I expect it to take for the account to be reactivated?
- BenAnswered on September 21, 2015 at 11:22 AM
Unfortunately the encrypted forms have been seen as if they can be used to capture various info, but this has not been so. The encryption forms are there only to allow you to capture the same data that you can capture usually, but with more confidentiality.
If you want you can take a look at this guide that answers most if not all of the questions regarding the encrypted forms: What are Encrypted Forms and how to use them as expert?
Now in regards to the forms being down, usually the account is enabled right away. It has still been disabled, but I have now enabled it for you so your forms are not active as well as your account.

Death of 18-Year Old Amanda Abbiehl and Opioid-Induced Respiratory Depression: Physician-Patient Alliance for Health & Safety Releases Podcast on Fifth Death Anniversary
Jul 20, 2015, 10:30 ET
CHICAGO, July 20, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- In honor of July 17, the day that 18-year old Amanda Abbiehl died five years ago after being connected to a patient-controlled analgesia (PCA), the Physician-Patient Alliance for Health & Safety (PPAHS) has released the podcast, "Opioid-Induced Respiratory Compromise Can Be Prevented."
- The podcast is now available on: YouTube at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUcXcJGq7sE&feature=youtu.be
- iTunes at: https://itunes.apple.com/ca/podcast/physician-patient-alliance/id897887688?mt=2
The podcast is hosted by Pat Iyer, MSN, RN, LNCC, a legal nurse consultant. Approximately 14 million patients use PCA each year and an estimated 600,000 to 2 million adverse events and deaths per year could involve PCA. In the podcast, Ms. Iyer describes the extent of the problem with PCA:
"… there was a study that was done by the U.S. Pharmacopeia and MEDMARX which showed the PCA pumps increased the risks of patient harm by 3.5 times."
The podcast features interviews of the parents of Amanda - Brian and Cindy Abbiehl - who discuss Amanda and how her death is irrevocably changed their lives:
"Amanda was a very outgoing and loving child, she was very diverse. She had a lot of friends. She has a lot of different types of friends. She had friends who were very wealthy. She had friends who were very poor. She would drop anything for anybody.
"She went into the hospital mainly with a virus and dehydration and by the time we got into the hospital she had a fever, so they knew that there was something going on more than just rehydrating her. We went in on a Thursday. Friday evening she was put on the pain pump and by Saturday morning she had passed away. She was our only daughter.
"From a personal standpoint Brian and I will never be able to see who she marries. I'll never be able to pick a wedding dress out with her. We'll never be able to have her father/daughter dance."
Joining the Abbiehls on the podcast was Michael Wong, JD (Executive Director, PPAHS), who discusses standard of care and the lack of continuous electronic monitoring in Amanda's care:
"… in Amanda's case she was not monitored with a capnography machine and I believe had she been monitored, the nursing staff at the hospital where she was staying would have been alerted and might have been able to know that she was suffering from respiratory depression and could have been able to do something."
To help address adverse events and death associated with the use of PCA, PPAHS brought together a group of renowned health experts to develop the PCA Safety Checklist, including intensive care specialist and a leader in medical checklist development Peter J. Pronovost, MD, PhD, FCCM, Professor, Departments of Anesthesiology/Critical Care Medicine and Surgery, The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and Medical Director, Center for Innovation in Quality Patient; and Atul Gawande, MD, Professor in the Department of Health Policy and Management at the Harvard School of Public Health, who is a surgeon at Brigham and Women's Hospital Professor of Surgery at Harvard Medical School and author of "The Checklist Manifesto."
The PCA Safety Checklist is a concise checklist that reminds caregivers of the essential steps needed to be taken to initiate PCA with a patient and to continue to assess that patient's use of PCA.
The checklist:
- Summarizes information about the characteristics of patients at higher risk for over sedation and respiratory depression
- Helps to ensure that patients have been appropriately educated about their pain management before using a PCA pump
- Reminds healthcare providers of potential red flags
- Makes sure the patient is electronically monitored with both pulse oximetry and capnography, and
- Provides guidance on assessment and pump settings verification at shift change.
The PCA Safety Checklist is a free resource on the PPAHS site at: http://www.ppahs.org/pca-safety-checklist-download/

30 Days to Understanding the Bible by Max Anders.
He begins the book this way: "Let's make a bargain. If you'll give me fifteen minutes a day for thirty days, I'll give you an understanding of the bible . . . In one month, you will learn . . . all the major men and women, all the major events, and all the major points of geography. You will be able to put these people and facts together in their proper chronological order and trace the geographical movement as you think your way through the entire Bible! You will know the story of the Old Testament and the story of the New Testament" (xi).
And he delivers on his promise. He does it by making you interact with him throughout the book. This is not just a book to read. This is one of those fill-in-the-blank sort of book. You will read about aspects of the history of the Bible and what happens and then you will be asked to fill in blanks about what you just read. Each chapter builds upon the next chapter. That means that in the second chapter you will be asked to fill in the same blanks that you filled out in the first chapter. Repetition is the key in this book. By the end of it, you will have a great overview and understand the basic components of the Bible.
I know sometimes the Bible can be intimidating. But what's great about this book is that it helped me gain a basic overview. I know it helped my 10 year old son as we went through it just about six months ago. If it can help him, I am sure it can help you. Give him the fifteen minutes, I know you have it. It will be some of the best fifteen minutes a day you have ever spent.

1999 I was admitted into the Kharkov Art School and since have
participated in numerous exhibitions from Kiev to New York City.
In 2001, I participated in the Charity Auction led by Mikhail

My years in the Kharkov Art School, from ages
12-16, provided me with knowledge and experience in the field
of art. The courses required a high level of self-discipline,
organization and meticulous attention to detail. My consistently
high performance in the school reflected my aptitude for art.
From January 2004 until May 2006 I was an art
student in Darton college (GA, USA). This two year course increased
my knowledge in Photography, Design and Drawing. I also took a
second major in Foreign Languages (Spanish).
From September 2006 to May 2010, I was been a
student of Savannah College of Art and Design at the Atlanta campus.

The Fire held a spirited practice today at the Toyota Park training field and here are a few quick notes from the training session... **Soumare transfer update:**
[As I wrote about the other day](http://www.chicagonow.com/blogs/chicago-fire-confidential/2009/06/soumare-headed-to-france-unidentified-club-makes-a-bid.html), there are quite a few transfer rumors surrounding Fire center back Bakary Soumare. Baky and his agent (former Fire player Diego Gutierrez) are being very hush-hush about any possible transfer, but the mood around the Fire camp seems to indicate that (while nothing is close to finalized) Soumare will be leaving.
"There's always going to be interest for players like Baky," said Gutierrez. "He's a young player who has established himself at the international level so there are always going to be inquiries...I think it's too early to really see what's real and what's not but we're certainly flattered by the attention."
One clear suitor that Soumare has seems to be French club Olympique Marseille. Two 'representatives' from l'OM (or at least two guys decked out in Marseille apparel speaking French and waiting outside the locker room for Baky...) attended the Fire practice and seemed to be interested in the 23-year old defender.
**Reaction to Tuesday's loss:**
As I'm sure most of you know, the Fire lost to the Wilmington Hammerheads of USL-2 on Tuesday night in the third round of the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup. I asked Head Coach Denis Hamlett about his thoughts on Tuesday's loss and he had this to say:
"We're disappointed with our result in the open cup," said Hamlett. "We knew we had enough chances... that we should've won the game plain and simple. They had one chance and did well with it but at the end of the day with the amount of opportunities we had and to not score a goal is disappointing."
**No Blanco or Prideaux:**
Both Cuauhtemoc Blanco and Brandon Prideaux missed Thursday's training session. Denis Hamlett told me that Prideaux picked up a little hamstring problem and that 'Temo was out with the flu. Not sure how these health issues affect the players' availability for Saturday's match against Colorado but hopefully both will be ready to go.
**Thorrington is back:**
Midfielder John Thorrington took part in full training today and looked 100% (or at least close to it). John should be ready to go on Saturday.

RecA Protein
RecA protein for DNA recombination and repair
RecA protein has its function in DNA recombination and DNA repair. RecA binds to ssDNA, which leads to the polymerization into a nucleoprotein complex. This complex can align with the complementary dsDNA, resulting in DNA strand exchange catalyzed by the RecA enzyme activity.
RecA complexed with site-specific oligos may be used to target and specifically cleave DNA fragments. In addition, a RecA-ATP-single-strand-DNA complex can also function as a cofactor in the proteolytic cleavage of UmuD, LexA, and certain phage proteins.
Source of RecA
Isolated from a recombinant E. coli strain overexpressing E. coli recA from a plasmid.

Upscale Club Inches Closer to Opening in SuisunVallejo Times Herald - July 6, 2009
Demetrius Mance is a man with a vision. Good thing.
When you've sunk a bunch of cash into an empty corner of the downtown Suisun business district, it's a good thing to be positive.
And Mance sees an upscale mostly jazz club featuring top-notch entertainment and equally classy clientele.
"It was a lifetime dream," Mance said of "Dimitri's Lounge by the Bay," a 237-seat venue he hopes to open in August at 700 Main Street.
And the town's excited, said Scott Corey, Suisun City's marketing manager.
"This new club is going to be a major new anchor attraction unlike any other in Solano County," Corey said.
The 3,500 square foot club should complement the city's restaurants, Corey said.
"We expect Suisun City residents will love having this high quality of entertainment right in their own backyard and adopt Dimitri's as one of their favorite places to visit," Corey said.
The club's proposal submitted to the city includes a full service bar and a small kitchen for appetizers.
Mance, an established real estate developer, said he seriously considered getting into the club business 12 years ago at a building down the street he already owned.
"The cost involved wasn't feasible," he said.
Because Mance has been a long-time Fairfield resident, it helped expedite the process in getting "Dimitri's " going, economic downturn be darned, he said.
"The market is tough," Mance admitted. "I'm taking a chance in a high-risk business. But the city is happy I'm doing something upscale. It's going to be a nice, candlelight setting."
Mance, 51, pictures himself as the club's demographics, "though we might have a youth night and not serve alcohol once in a while. We do want a mixed venue and try to take care of everybody."
Though jazz will be "the main focus" of the entertainment, Mance said. Country, salsa and blues will also be part of the recipe.
"We're right in the middle of the Bay Area," Mance said. "People can come here instead of driving to San Francisco or Sacramento."
Jeff Trager, a Green Valley resident involved in every aspect of music for 40 years, appraised the club.
"I think it's great to have a place to go and listen to good quality music on a consistent basis," Trager said. "The key word is 'quality.' I think people will get a taste of seeing and hearing great music."
Solano County residents, added Trager, "are dying to have a place like this. I have talked to a ton of people who feel that way. They say, 'This is great for the community. We have no place to go to listen to music without having to drive a ways."
It will take a bunch of promotion and public relations, Mance said.
"We're not San Francisco. We don't have an abundance of people walking the streets," he said. "I'm thinking every day how to market this."
What Mance can't do, he said, is ignore his wife, Terry. "I do have to make sure I have enough time for my family," Mance said.
