Update April 2016: Overall I have been pleased with this car. Expensive (over $2K), but warranty covered all but $150. Still running strong although I did use the extended warranty last year. Overall a positive experience.Īn update: Car now has 72,000 miles on it. In the five years I drove it, the only major repairs were what I described previously. The rear end damage was extensive enough for the insurance company to declare it totaled. Update 10/6/19: In the spring of this year the car was hit while parked in a lot. Recently purchased an extended warranty - just in case. Since then, the car has run nicely - although I do get high speed vibration on certain stretches of highway (probably due the the low profile tires). A month later a coolant pipe began leaking at the rear of the cylinder head (I replaced this myself). The 1.8L engine had a cam sensor design flaw which leaked oil into the harness (cam sensor seals were replaced under a MB recall by previous owner, but not the oil saturated harness). Within a month the CEL came on and required a new engine harness and two O2 sensors to repair. But if you want Mercedes-Benz engineering, design strengths and mystique in a solid, mainstream sedan, it doesn't get anymore accessible than the C-Class, and the C320 sedan represents the best of this.I purchased this 2004 C230 Sedan Sport one year ago with about 56K miles on it. If it's a sports sedan you seek, you might still consider Audi or BMW. Comparably equipped C-Class sedans are priced slightly higher than BMW's 3 Series and substantially higher than Audi's A4 models. While this is Mercedes' least expensive line in the United States, you'll still pay a premium for the three-pointed star. Every model, starting with the less-expensive coupes, comes standard with a full-complement of airbags and Mercedes' Electronic Stability Program skid-control system. The C-Class has good bones, with exterior styling inspired by the big, luxurious S-Class, technology shared with the E-Class, and an interior design all its own. On the standard sedans and wagons, the 4MATIC all-wheel-drive has been packaged with heated seats for a savings of $1,250 compared to 2003. The sport coupes benefit from similar interior changes, and now come standard with 17-inch alloy wheels and high-performance tires. The sport sedans get a healthy dose of performance and styling updates, including a lower ride height, upgraded brakes, a short-throw shifter and unique interior features to further distinguish them from the standard sedans. The pinnacle of the C-Class line, at least from a performance standpoint, is the limited-production C32 AMG sedan ($51,200).įor 2004, Mercedes has focused improvements on the sportier models. Meanwhile, the price-leading C230 sport coupe continues to attract first-time Mercedes buyers with its sportiness, practicality, features and that three-pointed star on the grille. Inside, it looks and, for the most part, feels like a Mercedes-Benz, with firm, supportive seats and mostly high-quality materials. It's a pleasure to drive, with its smooth, powerful engine, responsive automatic transmission and classic Mercedes balance of ride quality and handling. ![]() ![]() The C-Class starts at less than $27,000 for C230 coupe, but the line is perhaps best represented by the C320 sedan ($37,630). The Mercedes-Benz C-Class cars offer the Benz experience for the price of a Toyota Camry, which is why they are the company's best-selling line. ![]() ![]() This is your money and your information needs to stay secured.

I am also noticing that the acting is not nearly as good as it has been in past seasons, the girl who plays Talisa, Shae and espicially Loras stand out to me as being particularly awful. I understand things need to be changed for adaptation, but what I don't understand is including things that have no place in the book or drastically change who the character is. I am often really bothered by the senseless changes from book to show. Dinklage was either overacting to try and save, or doesn't do nearly a good enough job playing the "dwarf in love" role. Left a sour taste in my mouth - The actress who plays Shae is terrible. WTF is wrong with these writers? What goes through their heads? Why include this?

Even if they had included a line from Brienne before the fight "your hands are chained together and you have been imprisoned for _ you are a shell of your former self" it would have made it clear just how good Jamie is. Jamie gives Brienne a run for her money and leaves her in awe of how good he is. Jamie is the best swordsman in Westeros and in the show we have seen him essentially draw with Ned Stark and get his ass kicked by Brienne. ![]() Jamie & Brienne fight: poorly choreographed filmed and adapted from the book. Talisa/Cat interactions: pointless and really poorly acted. It's like they want to take ownership for the series or something. Why? Just why? I'll never understand why the producers of this show change so many things that don't need to be changed. I thought the Night's Watch scenes and Orell/Mance/Jon was fine (-) - Cat's monologue. We haven't gotten any real blowback from the Frey's post wedding. I like how they are keeping Bolton a presence, and thought the Karstark comments were right on - and much needed. Weird how Rickon just ran off an summer followed him, though. Obviously has to be different from the books for timing reasons, but I thought it worked in context. The scene and introduction did the book justice - Jojen and Meera was well handled. Queen of Thorns was really good, both funny and cunning. Didn't mind the whole getting betrayed by a random traveler, it shows that even the "white" characters need to go "black" in Westeros. Jamie had me in stitches with the "throne made of cocks and you'd never get him off" line. Jamie and Brienne interactions are absolutely hilarious. What was that? Anguy was good, and the scene at the inn makes sense because there's no Harwin in that group. + - Arya and BWB scenes, with the exception of Thyros of Myr baring steel against a 10 year old girl.

We sequenced ~1% of the orangutan genome with 41-fold median coverage in 31 wild-born individuals from two populations. Our modifications facilitate generation of single-sample libraries, enabling individual genotype assignments instead of pooled-sample analysis. We present an improved RRL (iRRL) protocol that maximizes the generation of homologous DNA sequences, thus achieving improved genotyping-by-sequencing efficiency. From the bioinformatical perspective, the reliance of most studies on a single SNP caller disregards the possibility that different algorithms may produce disparate SNP datasets. In the laboratory, current protocols require improvements with regards to sequencing homologous fragments to reduce the number of missing genotypes. Yet, generating such datasets remains challenging due to laboratory and bioinformatical issues. Like similar approaches, RRL sequencing reduces ascertainment bias due to simultaneous discovery and genotyping of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and does not require reference genomes. investigating only parts of the genome, is reduced-representation library (RRL) sequencing. One approach to reduce genome complexity, i.e. It's only 10 or so pages and it will give you a better idea of what you can expect regarding your own situation.High-throughput sequencing has opened up exciting possibilities in population and conservation genetics by enabling the assessment of genetic variation at genome-wide scales. I hope this helps! I recommend reading the actual paper. MIRA (3 days) was not distinguished, barely doing better than SeqMan at anything yet taking by far the longest.CAP3 (1 day) was not distinguished, doing no better than Newbler 2.5 or SeqMan at anything yet taking longer.SeqMan is also fantastic, generating the most unique sequences and the largest assembly but taking much longer than Newbler (6 hrs).Newbler 2.5 is fantastic overall, generating an overall very large assembly in a moderate amount of time (45 min).CLC is the fastest by far (4 min) and gathers a lot of unique contigs due to the de Bruijn graph algorithm used BUT is inaccurate and generates an overall smaller assembly.Newbler 2.3 is the worst and shouldn't be used.It compares Newbler 2.3, Newbler 2.5, CAP3, CLC, SeqMan, and MIRA. ![]() If anyone is still interested in this subject, I found this paper to be extremely helpful:Ĭomparing de novo assemblers for 454 transcriptome data (don't hesitate to share your ideas on mira3 or other open software also :) As you mention, the scary (at first) cost of the license compares lightly to the total cost of one (not mentioning that you will probably use it for many) next gen projects. Overall, our experience with CLC HAS been very satisfactory and we will likely continue to use it in the near future. The steps involved in the alignment lead to more gene chimeras and strange coverage patterns within each contig that may be expected from a 'correct' approach. The reason I am looking into mira3 now is that, it appears that the de novo alignment algorithm is not totally appropriate for RNA-seq projects. It is, however, highly suggested to use the software on a 64 bit system with plenty of ram (8 gigs and up).Īll this comes at the price of some flexibility and some transparency, I guess. This we have done repeatedly and new comers in the lab get quickly to their results without too much of a chock. sff or fasta/fasta.qual data, trim sequences according to different criteria, do a de novo assembly, save consensus sequences from the contigs, do a reference assembly (possibly with only a subset of sequences), look for SNPs, export SNP tables and ACE assembly files. For example, using menus, it is easy to import. I would say that the main strength of CLC is it's easiness of use, mainly for non-computer-oriented biologists, or even for non-hardcore-linux users. We have mostly used the software to toy with RNA-seq 454 data in non-model species, so our expertise is with de-novo assembly of expressed sequences, namely cDNA from RNA containing poly-A tails. ![]() Nothing that you couldn't find in the open source world, but well put together. The software IS really a well integrated resources with a lot of small functionalities. We have been using CLC Genomic Workbench for the last year with great results. I work in a lab mainly into evolution and genomics in fishes. I am presently going the opposite way from what you do, coming from CLC, I am exploring (anew) the possibilities of open software (mainly mira3 now) for 454 assembly. ![]() ![]() ![]() Your inventory and crafting recipes do still mostly reset when you go to a brand-new island, but afterward, you return to a “home base” called the Isle of Awakening, where you continue building structures and completing missions that let you use all the items and recipes you’ve gathered throughout the game. Instead of chapters, the bulk of Builders 2 takes place on separate islands with separate cities. The only place where you could use every item in the game was a totally separate free-play mode, which had no quests or any narrative connection with the rest of the game. ![]() Character progression, inventory, and your structures themselves did not carry over from one chapter to the next in that game, and you couldn't revisit old areas with new items or equipment. It was telling one overarching story, but every chapter made you start over again from essentially ground zero. The original was broken up into four chapters, each of which took place in a totally different town. If you find the open-ended, do-whatever-you-want feel of Minecraft’s survival mode frustrating, Builders may be more your speed.īuilders 2 does feel a lot larger in scale than the first game, both in terms of its story structure and in terms of the kinds of things you can build and the area you can build them in. It's still a lot like Minecraft, but the mission-based structure gives it a different feel. The new game’s core mechanics are also mostly carried over from the first game: you explore and gather materials to use in your creations take quests from townspeople who ask you to find specific materials, craft specific things, or build specific structures and occasionally fight off waves of monsters intent on destroying what you've made. In both cases, the player’s job is to rebuild society from the ruins, inspiring NPCs (and a few friendly monsters) along the way. Rather than continuing the first game’s story, Builders 2 plays as an alternate ending to Dragon Quest 2, where the followers of that game’s villain establish a cultish religion that forbids building. The first game was presented as an alternate ending to the original Dragon Quest, where the main villain’s victory rendered building things a lost art. The Builders games both put you in the shoes of a “Builder,” which in the game means having the extraordinary power to put things together and make other things.
