The first cloned mule



Idaho Gem is the first of the equine family in to be clone and the first cloned mule in the world. Idaho Gem was born on May 4 in Idaho. This mule is the copy of his brother, a champion racing mule called Taz. This mule was made inserting the DNA from the skin of a foetus in an empty egg from a horse. The credit for this amazing achievement is to Gordon Woods and his team at University of Idaho. They think it will be easier to clone horses and that could have huge implications, because in the racing horse breeding exist to many random factors for to get a horse with the characteristics that they are looking for, and many people bet in horse racing. But exist a traditional conservatism for to protect the vast and lucrative industry that wants to keep the horse breeding just as it is.

Let's go to Santa Lucia hill

If you go by car, leave the airport and take Armando Cortinez avenue, until you’ll be in Americo Vespucio avenue. When you have being already there, turn to your left, and go so far as to the way to Valparaiso. When you’ll be arrive here, turn to your right and a few km. more this way change its name to Libertador Bernardo O’’higgins avenue. You can see outside the entries to Metro, the names of its stations. It would be easy arrive to Santa Lucia hill, because a few metres over the station with the same name, you’ll see a street that intersect Libertador Bernardo O’higgins avenue, with the same name of the station and the hill.

If you go on bus, you must arrive from the airport to Americo Vespucio avenue. Once you’ll be there, you must take 304 green and white bus. That bus go until San Pablo avenue. When you’ll be arrive right thereyou must get on 402, 406 or 407 green and white bus which ones bring you in San Pablo metro’s station. Take the metro in “escuela militar” direction, and get off in Santa Lucia station. Once you’ll be there, try to go out for north Alameda way out.

my favorite website


Well. What can I say to begin this entry?? Maybe something like this: Hi!!! I'm writing to all of you to comment my favorite website, that is www.gathering.nl. Your question might be "why?". It's because it's the site of my favorite band, the gathering. I usually visit this page to read the news about the band, see their photos, specially anneke's photos, when she was in the band. Actually she formed her own band called "Agua de Annique" (www.aguadeannique.com, I visit that page too). All the concerts that they have performed in Chile, I have known because of the site. In the page you can watch videos and listen some of their songs too. If you know how to play the guitar or you want to sing, there is a section with lyrics and the tabs of their songs. They make contests too, but that doesn't interest me very much. And that's it, that is my favorite website
