Soft Structured Carriers
BABYBJÖRN Baby Carrier Original
" This is the carrier I used for small infants. It is the easiest to get them into and out of. I own two of the same ones, one for in the house and one for the car. Also good for babies who like to face outwards. Once the babies get bigger, though, the straps dig into your shoulders. It is great for easy, short trips like the grocery. " --nicolerenee515

Wigington earned a share of the 36-hole lead in the 77th Calhoun County Golf Championship on Saturday after shooting 3-under-par 69 in a demanding set-up.
It left him at 5-under 139 and tied with first-round leader Ty Cole of Albertville. They hold a one-shot lead over fellow Player of the Year contender Jeremy McGatha and a two-shot cushion over 17-year-old Caleb McKinney.
If Wigington can close the deal Saturday, he will join Chris Banister and Eric Hamilton atop the tournament's all-time wins list (six) and join Hamilton as the only players to win the event four times in a row.
"Everybody is so close," Wigington said. "Everybody is playing good. It's going to be a battle. We're all right in there within a shot or two. It's going to be a great match. Whoever plays good tomorrow is going to win it.
"I'm just glad to have a shot at it."
Wigington would have had sole possession of the lead going into the final round had he not bogeyed No. 18.
Still, he was in position to par the hole after finding the hazard off the tee and a hitting it through a bush on his third stroke. But he missed a 20-foot par putt after finally hitting the green with a 3-wood from 265 yards.
"It's just one of those things you lay down a little bit," he said. "You don't think of hitting one like that. My foot slid a little bit when I was trying to come through it, but I kind of let up and didn't concentrate on the tee ball like I had been all the way around.
"Just to have a putt for par was pretty surprising."
Cole was watching the play at the green and felt fortunate to be tied for the lead.
He entered the second round with a one-shot lead on the field and a three-shot lead on Wigington, but he scored 18 straight pars in his round and stayed put.
Cane Creek pro Kenny Szuch discovered some trivia that the odds are greater for a PGA Tour player to score 18 straight pars in a round than make a hole-in-one. Nick Faldo had 18 straight pars in the final round of his 1987 British Open win at Muirfield, and Jeev Milkha Singh did it in 2008 on the European Tour.
The milestone didn't impress Cole while it was happening to him.
"It was the most mediocre round of golf I've ever played," he said. "I've never played a round of golf and made 18 straight pars."
Cole said he had "three or four real good chances" at birdie in the round. He had the putts on line but left them all short.
"We've got one more day and I'm not out of it, so …," he said. "To play like I played today and still have a share of the lead, that's all you can ask for. We'll tee it up tomorrow and see how bad or good we can play."
Not only is the tournament close, so is the race for county Player of the Year. Only 55 points separated leader Wigington and No. 3 McGatha coming into the tournament. Current No. 2 Ott Chandler dropped off the pace after shooting 75 Saturday to fall into fifth place.
If Wigington, McGatha or Chandler wins the tournament, that person will be the Player of the Year.
McGatha, the Player of the Year in 2009 and 2011, pulled in behind the leaders with his second straight 70. He had five birdies, including one at 18 to finish.
"I hit the ball as good as I've hit it in a while," he said. "The few greens I missed I made bogeys, and they were barely missed. I can't put that much pressure on my iron play because you can't hit every green, and when you miss greens you've got to get up and down."

What you should know about requesting New or Revised CPT Codes or Guidance on how to code for New Technology
The Physician Payment Policy Workgroup (3P), co-chaired by James Denneny III MD, and Jane Dillon MD, the Coordinators for Socioeconomic and Practice Affairs, is the senior advisory body to Academy leadership and staff on issues related to socioeconomic advocacy, regulatory activity, coding/reimbursement, and practice services/management.
The 3P group evaluates inquiries for new technology coding and requests for new Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes or revisions to existing CPT codes. Members of 3P, including Richard Waguespack, MD, Bradley Marple, MD, and Lawrence Simon, MD, represent otolaryngology interests on the AMA CPT Advisory Committee. Our CPT representatives advocate for otolaryngology by presenting new and revised CPT codes to the CPT Editorial Panel for inclusion in the code set used for physician billing.
When it comes to valuing CPT codes, the 3P group serves as the expert consensus panel to analyze surveys completed by Academy members and make recommendations for appropriate Relative Value Units (RVUs) to the AMA/Specialty Society Relative Value Update Committee (RUC) for otolaryngology-related codes. Some of these members (Wayne Koch MD, Charles Koopmann MD, MHSA, John Lanza MD, Jane Dillon, MD, Pete Batra MD, and Peter Manes, MD) also represent the Academy at the RUC meetings. The RUC makes recommendations on the Relative Value Units (RVUs) of new and revised physician services to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). The RUC also performs broad reviews of the Resource Based Relative Value System every five years and rolling reviews of many codes based on screens such as high utilization, frequency of codes used together, and codes not surveyed since the beginning of the RUC process over twenty years ago.
To provide a more streamlined process, consistent with approaches adopted by other specialty societies, 3P initiated development of the New Technology Pathway, a process approved by the Board in September, 2010 that the Academy has adopted and now requires for any requests for guidance on how to code for a new technology, new CPT codes for services or procedures, or revisions or revaluations of existing codes. The newly formalized process includes coordination between 3P and experts from other applicable AAO-HNS Committees (i.e., Medical Device and Drug Committee, CPT/RVU Committee, etc.) as a way to incorporate all of the resources of the Academy in the interest of the members. We are confident that the New Technology Pathway will address such requests in a manner which is clearly defined, consistent with AMA CPT and RUC guidelines, accounts for the interests and perspectives of all stakeholders while protecting against undue influence of any group or individual, encourages the collection of reliable data, and promotes efficient, fair reimbursement for our members and appropriate access to new procedures and services for our patients.
The New Technology Pathway starts by completing the "New or Revised CPT Code Application", an internal Academy document, elements of which are illustrated here.
Inquiring parties, including physicians and industry representatives, should send the completed package to the Academy's staff Jenna Kappel, Director, Health Policy at email@example.com.
AMA Criteria for all CPT codes:
|Level of Evidence Table - LOE
|Type of Evidence (Based on AHCPR 1992)
|Evidence obtained from at least one randomized controlled trial

Centrifugal acceleration in torque measurement - often underestimated, however, very effective
What do a roller coaster, a spin dryer and a centrifuge have in common with rotating torque measurement technology? The answer is amazing: centrifugal acceleration. The combination of rotation and dimension results in acceleration. Multiplying acceleration by the existing mass causes high forces that require correspondingly safe structures.
Accelerations in a roller coaster, on the one hand, must not be too high to avoid potential health risks and, on the other hand, should be high enough to cancel out gravity and induce a feeling of weightlessness. Everyone knows how a spin dryer, which in fact is a centrifuge, works. Different materials are being separated.
However, the centrifugal acceleration occurring in everyday life is relatively low compared to that occurring during torque measurement.
- Centrifugal acceleration in a spin dryer is approximately 400 g ≈ 4,000 m/s² - depending on drum diameter and spin speed -,
- in a roller coaster it is approximately 5 g ≈ 50 m/s²,
- in rotating torque transducers, however, it amounts to several thousand g or m/s².
Gravitational acceleration affects calibration accuracy
Gravitational acceleration g is the acceleration on a body caused by the Earth's gravitational field. At different points on Earth, it averages ≈ 9.81 m/s², however, it varies depending on the centrifugal force of the Earth's center, the oblateness of the Earth and regional circumstances. It is not easy to specify the acceleration a human being can withstand without suffering permanent injuries. Literature gives a value of 9 g for trained test pilots wearing protective clothing, German DIN 4112 stipulates a maximum permissible vertical acceleration of 6 g [1].
Knowing gravitational acceleration is also crucial to exactly representing and transferring the measurand torque, since the most accurate calibration machines consist of dead weights (masses) and lever arms. This acceleration was precisely determined in HBM's calibration laboratory which has been accredited by German Calibration Service; it is 9.810285 m/s² with an uncertainty of measurement of 0.000005 m/s².
Centrifugal acceleration and rotational speed
A torque flange in a powertrain test bench is a system rotating at angular velocity. This creates a centrifugal acceleration that depends on the diameter and rotational speed.
Multiplying this acceleration by a mass or a mass point gives a centrifugal force. Depending on the design, these centrifugal forces may limit the maximum permissible rotational speed. It is essential to take into account other influencing factors, for example, critical rotational speeds.
Centrifugal acceleration is the result of the square of angular velocity multiplied by the radius r.
This results in
(equation with numerical values an in m/s2 , r in m and n in rpm)
The table below shows which centrifugal accelerations occur with different torque flanges and selected diameters.
Table 1: Centrifugal acceleration resulting from rotational speed and design
It is clearly visible that rotational speed is predominant over the diameter. This is obvious since rotational speed appears in the equation as a square value and the diameter only as a linear value.
The relevance of the flanges' individual nominal (rated) rotational speeds results from the different target applications. Please find below a list of examples of typical applications with rotational speeds specified in the unit rpm [3]:
- Globe approx. 0.000694
- Ship propeller (huge, commercial seagoing vessel) 70 to 150
- Main rotor of a helicopter up to 400
- Propeller of a small airplane 2,500
- Two-pole induction motor for 50 Hz mains voltage approx. 3,000
- Two-pole generator for 50 Hz mains voltage (e.g. Europe) 3,000
- Two-pole generator for 60 Hz (e.g. USA) 3,000
- Maximum rotational speed of a diesel engine approx. 5,500
- Maximum rotational speed of a gasoline engine approx. 9,000 up to 18,000
- Gas turbines 3,000 up to 100,000
- Turbo charger for combustion engines 100,000 up to 300,000
Centrifugal acceleration depending on rotational speed and design
Often torque flanges are not used at their nominal (rated) rotational speed. The example of the T10FS torque flange is to illustrate the effects of different rotational speeds and designs.
Fig. 1: Centrifugal acceleration depending on rotational speed and design
Using double logarithmic graphs, the resulting array of curves [4] facilitates identification of the centrifugal acceleration for selected radii.
For example, a rotational speed of 10,000 rpm and a radius of 250 mm results in a centrifugal acceleration of 273,878 m/s2 ≈ 27,918 g, approx. 30,000 g.
Fig. 2: Array parameter radius r of the circular path
Acceleration is uncritical as long as it does not affect a mass. Since in reality this is not the case, centrifugal force is of paramount importance. Therefore, with structures rotating at angular velocity/rotational speed it is essential to take into account the resulting forces instead of the accelerations.
The well-known relationship 'Force equals Mass times Acceleration'
applies analogously for rotating bodies
The centrifugal force Fz is given by
(equation with numerical values Fz in N, m in kg, r in m and n in rpm)
Considering the 1 euro coin with a weight of 7.5•10-3 kg and the maximum rotational speed of the T10FS/100 N•m torque flange, n = 24,000 rpm , r = 59.5 mm, provides an impressive example for this effect.
In the Earth's gravity field, this would correspond to ≈ 287 kg - about 6 cement bags each with 50 kg. Such a coin would be too heavy to be carried in a purse.
There are different kinds of acceleration. The centrifugal accelerations created by rotation are many times greater than the accelerations occurring in our everyday lives. The accelerations produced by rotation, the resulting forces and energies are difficult to imagine and need to be safely endured by the individual structures to protect persons and material from injury/damage. This is a matter for both manufacturers and users.

Former NBA Player Nick Van Exel's Son Confesses To Murder!
Description: " DALLAS — Nickey Van Exel, son of former Dallas Mavericks player Nick Van Exel, was arrested Wednesday night in connection with a recent murder. Bradley Bassey Eyo, 23, was found shot to death near Lake Ray Hubbard the day after Christmas. Investigators determined he was murdered at a Garland home in the 6900 block of George Brown Drive and his body later dumped at the lake, less than a mile away. Police said 20-year-old Nickey Van Exel turned himself in Wednesday and confessed to the crime. He's a neighbor of the victim. The younger Van Exel's attorney says his client told police he killed Eyo, a close friend, when a shotgun they were playing with accidently went off and later "panicked" and moved the body." - Dallas News. courtesy of urbanreup

Site Summary ProfileEPA ID: FL2170023244
Location: Milton, Santa Rosa County, FL
Lat/Long: 30.709720, -087.020410
Congressional District: 01
NPL Status: Proposed: 01/18/94; Final 05/31/94
Affected Media: Soil
Cleanup Status: Physical cleanup activities are underway
Site Reuse/Redevelopment: Active Facility
Site Manager: Craig Benedikt (firstname.lastname@example.com)
Site Background
Commissioned in 1943, Naval Air Station (NAS) Whiting Field is located in Santa Rosa County, approximately 5.5 miles north of Milton and 25 miles northeast of Pensacola, Florida. NAS Whiting Field's mission is to provide primary fixed-wing, propeller-driven aircraft and advanced helicopter training. The facility is approximately 3,842 acres in size and consists of two air fields (North and South) separated by an industrial area.
Past waste handling practices at NAS Whiting Field have resulted in contamination of soil and groundwater with petroleum constituents and spent solvents. Through the early 1980s, construction and demolition debris, garbage, waste solvents and oils, tank bottom sludges, fuels and machine fluids were disposed in different locations at the facility. Solvents have been used for cleaning structural metal components prior to repair or fabrication, and for stripping paint from aluminum, steel, and alloys. The facility does not have a Resource Conservation and Recovery Act treatment, storage, and disposal permit, but it is listed as a generator of hazardous waste.
Three on-site wells currently supply NAS Whiting Field. In 1986, the Florida Department of Environmental Regulation requested that one drinking water supply well be shut down due to concentrations of benzene exceeding the State drinking water standard. Within one month, the State similarly requested that an additional drinking water supply well be shut down due to concentrations of trichloroethylene exceeding State drinking water standards. These wells were retrofitted with a charcoal filter system and returned to service.
Approximately 6,500 people located within four miles of the facility obtain their drinking water from ground water. Forested lands surrounding NAS Whiting Field consists primarily of agricultural land to the northwest, residential and forested to the south and southwest, and forests along the remaining boundaries.
Threats and Contaminants
Ground water has been contaminated with trichloroethylene. Soil and ground water have been contaminated with arsenic, petroleum constituents, and spent solvents.
Site Cleanup Plan
Due to the size and complexity of the site, 27 operable units (OUs) have been identified at NAS Whiting Field.
These OUs typically refer to various portions of the site. OU-1, for example, refers to a 5-acre parcel located along the northwestern facility boundary where disposal of refuse, waste paints, thinners, solvent, waste oils, and hydraulic fluids associated with the operation and maintenance of aircraft from 1943 until 1965 occurred. OU- 2, refers to a 12-acre parcel located along the northwestern facility boundary near the North Airfield, which was used for the disposal of construction and demolition debris from 1976 until 1984.
Records of Decision (RODs) describing the cleanup approaches selected for the various portions of the site have been issued for 22 OUs. No Action and No Further Action RODs have been issued for eight OUs: OU-3, Site 3; OU-5, Site 5; OU-6, Site 6; OU-8, Site 9; OU-11, Site 12; OU-13, Site 14; OU-23, Site 38, and OU-26, Site 29.
The most recent ROD – for OU-15, Site 16, the primary waste disposal area at Whiting Field between 1943 and 1965 – was issued in November 2008. Major cleanup elements for OU-15 include implementation of land use controls (LUCs) to restrict the site to non-residential or residential-like use and non-recreational use and to prohibit excavation, disturbance, or removal of soils from the site unless prior written approval is obtained from EPA and the State of Florida.
Details for cleanup approaches at other site OUs are available online.
Cleanup Progress
Removal actions were completed at five OUs during 1999 and at six additional OUs during 2001 to address contamination issues.
EPA, the State of Florida, and the Navy signed an LUC Assurance Plan Memorandum of Agreement in 1999 to insure the effectiveness and reliability of the required land use controls for OU-1 and 2.
A ROD amendment was issued in 2008 for OU-2 removing the LUC requirements selected in the 1999 ROD for OU-2.
Remedial investigations have been completed on 25 of 27 OUs and feasibility studies have been completed for 24 of 27 OUs at the site. Site investigation activities continue for the site for the remaining OUs.
One Five-Year Review (FYR) has been finalized for the site - in 2006. This FYR covered OU-1 and OU-2, and found the remedies for those two areas to be protective of human health and the environment.
Enforcement Activities
A Federal Facility Agreement (FFA) for Whiting Field (PDF) (55 pp, 4.0MB, About PDF) was signed in early 2009 and is available for public comment. FFAs ensure that the environmental impacts associated with past and present activities at the site are thoroughly investigated and appropriate cleanup and corrective actions are developed and implemented as well as establish schedules and priorities and enforceable milestones for cleanup activities at federal sites.
Community Involvement
EPA has conducted a range of community involvement activities at the Whiting Field site to solicit community input and to ensure that the public remains informed about site activities throughout the site cleanup process. Outreach activities have included public notices, newsletters, and public meetings on cleanup activities and updates.
Future Work
The remedial investigations for the final two OUs are scheduled to be completed in 2009 and 2010.
The next FYR for the site is scheduled for in 2011.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Minor league baseball is coming to uptown Charlotte.
The Charlotte City Council voted 7-4 on Monday night to approve a financial plan that includes contributing $8 million to the Charlotte Knights new uptown ballpark.
The city's contribution will be made up of $7.25 million from the "hotel-motel tax," which, by law, can only be used for tourism-related projects. The other $750,000 will come from Center City Partners, who gets its money from uptown businesses. Both amounts would be paid over 20 years.
The team originally asked for $11 million from the city. It's already getting $8 million from Mecklenburg County, plus land valued between $20 and $24 million.
Not every council member agreed with the vote for the to-be named BB&T Ballpark.
Beth Pickering did not think they could support the subsidy in these tough economic times. Pickering did not think the stadium was the best thing for that valuable land in the third ward.
"I can see sports bars popping up around it and I'm just not crazy about the idea of little sports bars popping up in uptown Charlotte," she said.
The Knights, who currently play in Fort Mill, believe that an uptown stadium would help it double its annual attendance, to 600,000 people. In addition, the team believes stadium revenue would grow from $3.5-$4 million to $10-$12 million.
Several people spoke before the vote, including former Mayor Harvey Gantt, who expressed his desire for the uptown park.
"Allowing youth in our community to be a part of the fabric of what goes on inside baseball," he said.
After the vote, Knights owner Don Bieber said he was glad the stadium was at last a done deal.
"I think everybody sees it as a good thing for the city," he said.
Under the deal with the city, the Knights will start playing ball in uptown by 2014.
The Knights recently unveiled a website to support the new ballpark here.

Your Plastic Surgeon,
Dr. Robert J. Brueck MD, FACS
Dr. Brueck is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon.
He has 33 Years of Excellence in Cosmetic Surgery
- 3700 Central Ave. Fort Myers, FL 33901
- 14 Del Prado Blvd. Cape Coral, FL 33909
- 25097 West Olympia, Suite 101, Punta Gorda, FL 33950
The recognition keeps rolling in: I just received notice that the American Registry has named me as a Patients' Choice Physician.
Here's what they had say:
"Dear Dr. Brueck,
Congratulations! You have been recognized as a Patients' Choice physician.
The Patients' Choice award is bestowed upon physicians based on your patients' appreciation and praise for the quality of care and service you provide. Every month, more than 200,000 patients across the U.S. provide online feedback about their doctor experiences. They rate various components of the care they receive, such as bedside manner, doctor-patient face time, follow-up care, ease of appointment setting and courtesy of office staff. They also share their overall opinions.
Over the course of 2013, hundreds of thousands of patient reviews were written and shared. While physicians generally receive positive feedback from their patients, only physicians like you - with near perfect scores - have been voted by their patients for this honor.
In fact, of the nation's 870,000 active physicians, only 5 percent were accorded this honor by their patients in 2013. You are, indeed, the Patients' Choice: A physician who is not only highly regarded, but also recommended, by their patients. Congratulations on this outstanding distinction."
Of course, I know any recognition like this, while it has my name on it, can really be attrbutred to my remarkable staff and my equally remarkable patients. Thank you all.
Have you looked at my testimonials lately? I add new ones just about every week. I find that testimonials from previous patients are very reassuring to people considering cosmetic surgery, both because it gives them valid expectations of what they will experience as outcomes and because it tells them what kind of surgeon I am. Please, take a look.
NEWS FLASH: My practice is now offering miraDry, non-surgical procedure for excessive underam sweating.
If you suffer from excessive underarm sweating, also known as hyperhidrosis, the miraDry procedure can change your life. This new procedure treats excessive underarm sweating, permanently, without surgery.
I recently appeared as a guest on Wink AM's "AskTheExpert" half-hour radio program. You may find it interesting. http://www.ghostshow.net/aae/AAE_031213_to_air_031613_FINAL.mp3
What can you expect from Cosmetic Surgery in Southest Florida:
If you are considering your first cosmetic surgery procedure, including breast augmentation, tummy tuck, face lift or rhinoplasty, you may have thought about it for a long time. Don't worry. It's normal to ask questions,"Is cosmetic surgery right for me? Can I trust my surgeon? Is cosmetic surgery worth it?"
These are all things you and I will discuss in confidence during your first consultation with me. The consultation is your most important step when you consider plastic surgery. That's why your first consultation with me is free.
Call 239-204-5040 to arrange for your private consultation. It's so important, I won't proceed without it. If you would you be more comfortable talking with a woman, ask for Judy when you call or email your request to firstname.lastname@example.com.
If you are wondering what to expect from cosmetic surgery, here are the results realized by some of my facial surgery patients right here in Fort Myers, Southwest Florida. If you are curious how they looked before cosmetic surgery, click on each photo. You will be taken to before and after photos of various procedures.
What's new in beauty, health, medicine and plastic surgery? I post snippets of interestiing information on my "Keeping up page" page every time I come across it.
Dr. Brueck is now on world-famous Angie's List
We also now offer the proprietary QuickLift mini-facelift.
I am a Board Certified and fellowship-trained plastic surgeon in Fort Myers and Southwest Florida, dedicated to beautiful results in plastic surgery and cosmetic surgery. My 33 years of experience in face lifts, rhinoplasty (nose surgery), breast enhancement and breast implants, tummy tucks, liposuction and other procedures is extensive. The combination of rigorous training and three decades experience assures you of cosmetic surgery that is safe and successful.
Please be wary of surgeons who are Board Certified in other disciplines but not in Plastic Surgery. They may be fine surgeons but they are not board certified for the surgery you are considering.
I'm also proud that peer research by Castle Connolly LLC, in conjunction with Gulfshore Life magazine, recognized me as a top plastic surgeon in Southwest Florida (Northport to Marco Island) for eight of the last 10 years, and as recently as 2011.
I practice in a state-of-the-art, sterile surgery facility in Fort Myers, Florida. It incorporates the most advanced cosmetic surgery technologies and the latest plastic surgery treatment therapies available. I tell patients, "My passion is to provide you with the very best in surgical and non-surgical results." I also have an office in Cape Coral, if it is more convenient for you. And a new office in Punta Gorda.

I am happy to report the visitors to RealSelf.com have nominated me as a Top Doctor in these procedures.

Great cleanser for sensitive skin
04|16|13 - This cleanser has worked very well for me and I have sensitive skin. I found it to be extremely gentle, refreshing and soothing. The consistency is watery and a little goes a long way. Perhaps the consistency is why it rinses away so well. After each use, my skin is left feeling soft and smooth. Since using this product I have not found the need for an exfoliant. I highly recommend this all natural facial cleanser.

I've been using the Precision Router Base for some time, and the only thing that keeps it from being a superior tool is its tendency to loosen the height adjustment screws. You have to keep a close eye on the adjustment screws, particularly if you are working on something that will cause chatter. In my opinion, a set screw on the side of each leg of the crosspiece would do the trick in holding it in place.
This router base combined with the bits stew-mac sells and the Foredom system has excellent control and has become an essential tool in my shop, the quality is unsurpassed especially for the price. A must have for any inlay artist or guitar builder. Here is a pic of the inlay work I did on a custom guitar I built for my church Band.
I immediately put the new base to use routing a channel for a center strip on the back of my new guitar and it works like a dream. Very well made and easy to use. I plan on using it for more inlay work and expect the task to be much easier now.
Considering the machine work that goes into making these, I cannot imagine how StewMac sells them for this little. A rare device that does exactly what it is supposed to do with no arguments and is a pleasure to use.
Very good tool, but be ware when you work with high speed Dremel, the vibrations could open the depth lock ring!!
Awesome!! Using it for inlay work and the results are amazing.
I love this thing! I use it a lot.!
A truely magnificent marvel of modern technoligies,this base has made a significant difference in my life. I can now rout out like a madman, inlays can be done while standing on one leg, a great base and well made.You won't be disappointed with this badboy. 5 STARS.
First i tried to make my own router base, but after some time i saved the money for the original. Today i think, that it's every dollar worth. My favorite Stewmac product.
Very stable base for inlay work, the price is a little bit high, but worth it for the precision machining.

Neighborhoods: Southeast Boise
Had a few plumbing problems in our home – A few plumbing problems in our home . So we called these Plumbers from 2 Thumbs Up. They were quick to respond and talk about professional . I highly recommend this company. These Plumbers are honest and up front on their plumbing prices.
CONSUMER BEWARE: 2 Thumbs Up Plumbing in Boise Idaho improperly installed my new toilet in May 2011, causing an undetectable slow leak which resulted in a frozen sewage waste line, damaged flooring, and mold. . Two city code inspectors came today to inspect the work, and have indicated, in writing, that "a permit should have been taken out for the work done and the work was done unsatisfactorily. A leak around the toilet was caused by work not performed in a manner conforming to the UPC" (Uniform Plumbing Code). A civil penalty warning is being given and a double fee for permit. If it hadn't been for our long extremely cold temperatures causing the leak to freeze the drain line, it may have been many years before it was discovered. When we contacted 2 Thumbs Up Plumbing, they came over, saw the damage, and told us not to worry, that they would submit it to their insurance company, and it would be taken care of. They then told the insurance company that we had refused necessary repairs to install it without leaking. The insurance company without even sending anyone to look at it denied the claim indicating that their evidence showed they were not responsible for the damage. We will be sending them copy of city's findings. Guess that the BBB, State Licensing, and probably Small Claims or Civil Court could be the next steps.
A Premier Boise Plumbers Shop. My Husband and I are glad we called these plumbers and remodelers . We will use them again.
On time and Professional Plumbers – Thanks for the new waterheater that these plumbers installed we have hot water on demand again. Very happy we called these Honest Boise Plumbers. Showed up on time and everything went great!
Thanks Tom for the review. Our biggest compiment is when we have our customers take the time to tell others about our Boise Plumbers and Remodelers . We are always at your service. 891-1104
Extra Fees, long hours, poor customer service – ** Please note that the first review by 'PLUMBERJOE' was written by the owner of the company, not a customer! **
I would not recommend 2 thumbs plumbing at all! I had a terrible experience with them on a very simple job. I got a quote from them on some work, but they failed to tell me about a $65 service call fee until they were already here. They told me a rate of $68 an hour, but didn't tell me how long the job would take. I estimated it was a 45 minute job, but took them two hours. They spent 30 minutes just holding a bucket trying to drain the water from the house! I had to call in another plumber after they left to finish the job and it only took them 45 minutes to do almost the exact same work.
They did not do the job that I had originally asked them to do. When I told them I was unhappy with the job they did, they only threatened me with a lien on my house rather than trying to work with me to resolve the problem. Stay away from this company!!
The Owner wanted a 70% discount or we will get a bad review. We are happy to give discounts , However this was after the work had been completed and we parted ways. We apologize that they were unpleased with the end result and attempted to help rectify the situation. If there is anything that we can do moving forward please let us know as customer satisfaction is very important to us.
Warning!! – DO NOT EMPLOY THIS COMPANY. We had some basic kitchen plumbing to set up, and Joe installed equipment that was previously used and faulty, and he cut corners using a plastic part that should have been copper, resulting in the leak that ruined our brand new hardwood floor. A trained professional would not have used these parts. On top of all of that, he denied that he did anything wrong, claiming a slit in one of the hoses caused the leak, when there in fact was not a slit which we were able to show him. It get's worse. When we decided to file an insurance claim against him, he says he is insured, yet gave us false information, saying he was covered by an insurance company he was not covered by. THEN, when that company called him, he told them he was insured by another company and that turned out to be false.
This was a rare situation in that the members decided that in order to save money, they wanted to help on the project. We stated to them both verbally and in contract that by us agreeing to let them do that, it meant that they could not hold us accountable for any parts or materials that they supplied. We are fully licensed, bonded and insured. This member knew that we were not liable for any work that was not performed by our Service Tech.

This historically significant pickup was once owned by actor Steve McQueen and brought to life by designer and motoring visionary Vic Hickey, who helped create important vehicles such as the Chevrolet Blazer, the Humvee, the Lunar Rover and the legendary Baja Boot. This 1969 off-road race truck was a continuation of Hickey's design prowess. It has a C10 chassis with a C30 one-ton cab. The vehicle made its debut in the inaugural Baja 1000 in 1968. Over its racing career, it was driven by racing legends Cliff Coleman, Bud Ekins, Johhny Dias, Mickey Thompson and Chuck Coye. It was sold in 1970 to McQueen as one of the package deals for a group of race cars he bought from General Motors. McQueen who held onto the Chevy truck until 1972 – the same year he divorced his first wife Neile. Their parting forced the couple to divide their assets and sell their spacious 5,560-square foot Brentwood, Califorina abode. The Mediterranean-style home – dubbed "The Castle" by McQueen – boasted a large carport for McQueen's extensive car collection. Upon his divorce, McQueen sold most of his cars or found homes for them. He sold the Chevy truck to Joe Metcalf, a Hickey employee. From there the Chevy spent many years as a farm vehicle in Alturas, California, until it was discovered by an off-road enthusiast in the 1990s.
McQueen raced four-wheeled off-road vehicles as well as motorcycles and drove many of Vic Hickey's specialty vehicles, including the Baja Boot in the 1968 Stardust. Hickey once said of the superstar, "Steve McQueen was a good driver, and he was tough, came out of that boys school in Chino."

Horrible! – I was only 2 bites into my dinner when I went bolting to the bathroom. I sent it back and they sent the exact same dish back. When I asked for a refund and they refused to comp my meal. Never again.
Terrible! Stay away from Dales! – I decided to try Dales for the first time and really wish I read the reviews before going. Tonight I ordered the Saag, Pakara, Naan, Lentil Soup ($42). The Saag was like cheap cream spinach. I spit out the first bite. The naan was burned and the Pakaras were old and reheated. It was terrible. When we called back to complain they screened our number, SO, we called from another number and picked up on the first ring. We just called to complain and didn't demand anything except to be respected as a customer. The guy argued with us and didn't apologize once. Really sad. Do yourself a favor and go down the road to Sitar or Saffron's.
Excellent – I just tried this place for the first time. I had take-out. I find very few decent Indian restaurants around which saddens me because I grew up in the UK where we were used to GOOD Indian food and LIVED on it-(Huge Indian population).
This food is EXCELLENT. For the first time in the USA, where the palate is not so used to this type of cuisine, I have found a restaurant that actually trims their meat properly. I cannot stand finding fat and gristle in food. It puts me off and I cannot finish. I had lamb and chicken and both were fantastic. The sauces were nice and hot and tasty too. Good naan bread also. I can't say enough how much I enjoyed the food from Dales...WELL DONE...
very so-so – I've tried the buffet at Dale's twice and was disappointed both times. The food was bland, the meat fatty. In fairness, I didn't order from the menu so I don't known if that's any better, but I would definitely stay away from the buffet. There are too many good alternatives close by.
Is the popularity lowering the quality? – Has the quality gone down?
I used to love this restaurant last year. When I ordered a Mutter paneer for carry out in Jan 2009, what I got was a mediocre fair. The gravy was thin and the taste was no way near the nicer ones I have tasted. Price remains same or higher! I hope they improve.
Worst experience – After reading these reviews i went to their buffet on sunday. The food was okay and customer service was okay too. I got the bill in which i was charged normally for the buffet, but when i look at my credit card statement it shows that my card was charged twice for 2 different amounts !!! In all i ended up paying more than $40 for two people for sunday buffet !!! After contacting them they refuse to remove the charge with no explanation !!!!!!!! I think this was the most expensive buffet i have ever had for such a mediocre food !!!
Great food with best prices in town – I have been eating for three years at Dales , love their food & service. prices are best compare to some places. We eat on the patio cannot beat the experience. I was there today with my friend & loved it
Staff knows what we drink & has it ready ,so friendly people. I would recommend to all .
Mediocre at best – I've been eating at Dale's lunch buffet every once in a while for the past 2 years or so, and 80% of the time the food tastes as if it came from a jar or a can. Some days are OK, the Vegetable Korma and the Chicken Makhini are always good, as is the Lentil Dal, but they are not always in the buffet. Additionally, the buffet pricing seems rather unfair. It is $7.99 for the buffet, but when I went in to do take-out for a very small amount of food, the weighed the nan (they bring it from the kitchen and wrap it) with the food and it cost me $10.
Great Indian food,with just perfect ambience – Our family dinning place .Dales has a great atmosphere for all age people, our family just lves their food as it is so fresh made per our prefrence. The service is freindly & on time. YOu have to try their weekend buffet with mimosas My mother love the wine list they have as it fits our pocket. Ck Tikka masala is just awesome. If you like Indian try this claen place where waiters know you by name.
The name doesn't sound Indian, but the fiery flavors convince otherwise. – In Short
A small, sparsely decorated dining room delivers gratifying, sometimes sweat-inducing meals. Duke students gab noisily from the booths while groups congregate around the lunchtime buffet. Best bet is the buffet, where you can sample several of the 50 entrees on the menu. If ordering a la carte, opt for the Chicken Tikka Masala--roasted chicken in a creamy tomato sauce, or Sag Gosht--lamb cooked in a spinach sauce.

No Apologies No Regrets
From the roles she plays to the cigars she smokes, actress Demi Moore makes her own choices.
Mervyn Rothstein
From the Print Edition:
Demi Moore, Autumn 96
(continued from page 6)
"The dynamic of the scene was that I have been under constant pressure because I'm a woman," she says. "I've been the outcast. So Jordan at that moment is a little hypersensitive to anybody's comments. And it turns into a moment of comfort for me; she is communicating to me, 'Don't lose your sense of humor, don't lose sight of the big picture.' She's communicating that she's my friend. It's what's underneath the lines, the subtext, that matters. Because the scene is ultimately about finding support in a world where I'm really standing on my own. And there were subtle differences in the takes, and the moment when we finally hit it, it just fell into place. It evolved as we were doing it. The joy for me is in the collaboration.
I have to be there to see where the other actor is going, what she is thinking about, what she wants to do. It's my favorite way to work. I rely on my intuition."
Her work as an actress, she says, is "100 percent instinct. I haven't had years of learning in acting class. It just didn't go that way for me. Not because I ever felt I was so wonderful I didn't need it. I'm sure I could use plenty of guidance. Actually, I was too insecure to want to take that path. I always just felt that if I got in a class and somebody said, 'Boy, you're really not good, and maybe you should consider something else,' I would have had to, and I thought that if I could fake it long enough maybe I could figure it out. There's that old saying, 'Fake it until you make it,' and I think I might have been skating on that thin ice for a while in the hope nobody would find me out. I never even really had the ability to put myself in that kind of learning situation until right before I did Ghost, when I worked in New York with a teacher named Harold Guskin. I enjoyed it, but being in a class would probably still be intimidating for me."
One thing Moore does not find in the least intimidating is a good cigar. "I've been smoking them on and off for seven years," she says. "I started just really for the fun of it. I saw people smoking, usually just men because back then you didn't see very many women smoking cigars. And of course my husband smokes them. And I wanted to find out what it was about it that they found so appealing."
Her first serious cigar, she says, was "a large, strong Montecristo, and I thought it was way too much for me. But then I discovered the smaller cigars, and I began to have my romance with them."
She knew her relationship with cigars had reached a new level when her friends "Tom and Nicole"—as in Cruise and Kidman—gave her a traveling humidor. "It's my work humidor. I keep it in my trailer. I keep it stocked with a variety of cigars, ones I like and ones I have available for other people."
These days, she says, "I switch between the small Cohiba Panatela and the little Montecristo Joyitas. But now I've graduated to where I sometimes have a Cohiba No. 2 or a Montecristo No. 2. I like a mild cigar. And I like it not to be too large. I have small hands and a small head, and I don't want a cigar that's bigger than both of those parts of my body. I like the flavor. I like the taste. I enjoy the smell of a good cigar. It relaxes me. It's a great social activity, because there's something about smoking a cigar that feels like a celebration. It's like a fine wine. There's a quality, a workmanship, a passion that goes into the making of a fine cigar."
In an interview five years ago in The New York Times, Moore said that one goal in her life was seeking "inner peace." These days, she says, she feels she is on her way. "It's a never-ending journey," she says, "but I feel that my understanding, my comfort level and my overall serenity has grown tenfold. It's a matter of time, age, experience and acceptance. We spend a lot of the early part of our lives viewing only what we don't like about ourselves. And then slowly we start, little by little, to gain perspective about the things that aren't so bad about who we are. The general feeling that we're never enough is more common than people like to admit, and just that recognition brings about inner peace."
She does not like to think far ahead, so she doesn't really know what her goals are for five or 10 years from now. There's the hope that perhaps she'll be able to make movies that "are maybe a little bit smaller, a little bit more intimate, a little bit more about character and not about how many people they'll reach."
"But I don't really know what I'll be looking for then," she says. "I may decide that I don't want to work, that I want to just stay at home for two years. Or maybe I'll want to travel with my children for a year, take them someplace else to live. I just know I want to try to be in the moment as much as possible. Because it's fleeting. And nothing reminds me more of that than my children."

There weren't too many green dresses at the 2013 Grammy Awards. Perhaps, stars figured they couldn't come close to J. Lo's green Versace dress that she wore to the 2000 Grammys with the new dress code in place and simply shied away from the hue. It's not an easy color to pull off, so who rocked their green dress on the red carpet and who should have chosen something completely different?
Katy Perry
The "Part of Me" singer had everyone talking, not because of the design of her dress, but because of her ample assets that were easily visible through the keyhole neckline. She turned heads in a skin-tight mint Rafael Cennamo long-sleeve gown that had a substantial amount of embellishments above the keyhole neckline. Although she looked beautiful, the cleavage was a bit too much in this dress and the style would have benefited from having a little more fabric at the neckline. Regardless, Ellen Degeneres certainly didn't seem to mind it too much! Although Katy was nominated for Best Pop Solo Performance, she lost out to Adele.
Florench Welch
The emerald green studded long-sleeve Givenchy gown that the singer wore resembled the skin of a dinosaur, so it wasn't a particularly flattering look. To make matters worse, her makeup and hair looked like she put zero effort into being presentable. It was certainly one of the worst looks of the evening. She, along with her band, were nominated for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance and Best Pop Vocal Album, but they lost out in both categories.
Solange Knowles
Solange looked absolutely lovely walking the red carpet in an emerald green Ralph & Russo glittering gown. The dress had the potential to be completely bland and boring, but the thigh-high slit gave it the boost of sexiness that it needed, as did the bright coral studded pumps that she paired with the ensemble. The unkempt hair left a little to be desired, but she pulled it off.
Which of the green frocks from the Grammys is your favorite?

Discover Marianne North's travels over Christmases long, long ago
- 12 likes
- 0 comments
With Christmas fast approaching, I decided for this blog post to look at where Victorian traveller and painter Marianne North spent her Christmases away from home. Marianne North travelled widely between 1870 and 1885, and completed over 800 paintings which are now permanently displayed in the Marianne North Gallery at Kew. In her memoirs, Recollections of a Happy Life, Marianne often described where she was and what she was doing at Christmas time in the various countries around the world during her years abroad.
In December 1871, during the first of her many trips overseas, Marianne spent Christmas in Jamaica. Her diary states: 'In the West Indies! Christmas Eve. The next morning the landlady took me at daylight to see the opening of the new market. It was Christmas Day... A band was playing and all Kingston promenaded up and down.' Marianne spent a number of months in Jamaica as the last stop on an expedition which lasted from July 1871 to June 1872, and which also included time in the United States and Canada.
Painting no. 161: View over Kingston and Port Royal from Craighton, Jamaica
During a trip in which Marianne spent almost two years in India, between September 1877 and March 1879, she arrived in Tanjore (now Thanjavur) on Christmas Eve 1877. Marianne writes: 'On the 24th of December 1877 I reached Tanjore by the earliest train, asked a policeman I saw to show me the way to the Doctor's, and walked under his porch about nine o'clock, to his great surprise, as he was sitting among his books deep in work, having expected me by a later train. Living with him was like living with a live dictionary, and was a delightful change... I had a delightful upper room full of windows, looking over some miles of country.'
Marianne also made a notable mention in her diary about the Temple of Tanjore during this time: 'I know no building in its way nobler than that temple of Tanjore. The colour of its sandstone is particularly beautiful; its whole history is inscribed round the basement in characters as sharply cut as if they were done yesterday.'
Painting no. 331 Temple of Tanjore, Southern India
South Africa
After the gallery opened at Kew in 1882, and keen to continue painting, Marianne spent ten months in South Africa between August 1882 and June 1883, and Christmas itself in Grahamstown. Her diary describes: 'I spent Christmas Day at Grahamstown at a picnic with the A.s, a very solemn feast, at which the daughter's time was chiefly taken up with packing and unpacking provisions, plates, cups, etc. The drives over the bare hills were every now and then rewarded by the sight of a great lonely lily, or the huge pink king of all onions, the Buphane toxicaria, all alone without any leaves.'
Painting no. 403 Vegetation on the Hills near Grahamstown, South Africa
In her last trip before she died in 1890, Marianne North visited Chile between November 1884 and January 1885. The entry in her diary states: 'I spent Christmas at Santiago, where Mrs. Pakenham tried her best to make it look like home... and on the 1st of January we went to an evening concert in the Quinta, almost in the open air, to hear sixty students of Salamanca playing guitars, all dressed in black velvet cloaks and ruffs.'
Painting no. 020 The Permanent Snows, from Santiago;
Patagua in front with Hummingbird and Nest
Marianne North Gallery
After her return from South Africa and Chile the Marianne North Gallery was extended and re-organised to make more room for these paintings, and also those she painted in the Seychelles between September 1883 and January 1884. Marianne went to many countries in the 14 years she spent travelling around the world painting and would have experienced Christmas in other countries such as the Seychelles, Brazil, Japan and Australia during this time. Her paintings are on display in the Marianne North Gallery, which is open daily.
Kew's Library, Art & Archives team wish you all safe travels over the Christmas period and a very happy and prosperous New Year.

Hey there, welcome to Katyperryforum.com!If you like us, please consider donating so we can keep the Katycat love alive.
I will love you, Unconditionally
In the Jan. 15, 2014 episode of American Idol, a contestant sang Roar for his audition, and made it to Hollywood. One of the few times I've seen someone successfully sing a Katy Perry song on one of these shows.In the Jan. 16, 2014 episode, at one point in the episode, they played Roar as background music. At another point, they played This is How We Do as background music. That was surprising, since that hasn't been released as a single yet, and I thought that song was pretty obscure so far (unless you own the Prism album, I'm not sure where people would have heard it). Another guy sang Roar for his audition, but he was really bad!

Mac 'n' Cheese
Have 2 minutes for something inspiring and cool? Of course you do.
This animated short is directed and created by four obviously talented students at the Utrecht School of Arts in the Netherlands. I truly appreciate the cinematic techniques used and the way they edited it. The speed, style and imagination of this is inspiring and really fun to watch. There is a nice balance of traditional looking and computer assisted 3D animation.

The harsh conditions of Sinnoh's winters brought forth arguably the most adorable tree known to Pokemon. When used correctly, Snover can be a monster on the battlefield. It can run several effective sets such as Swords Dance, Stalling Lead, or even a special Choice set. It can also use its ability, Snow Warning, to stop weather based teams cold, most notably rain. Snover is a very dangerous Pokemon, capable of pulling off many different strategies, making it someone to watch out for.
This is one of the most effective sets Snover can run, it is capable of severely weakening or KOing almost everything in its path. Ice Shard is the main attack used here as it gains STAB and makes up for Snover's mediocre Speed. Protect is needed on most leads in Little Cup to block Fake Out and it increases the efficiency of Leftovers. Substitute makes Snover especially effective as a stalling Pokemon by shielding it from attacks that could otherwise cripple it. The final move, Leech Seed, works excellently in conjunction with Protect and Substitute because they buy extra turns on which Leech Seed will heal you and wear your opponent down along with hail.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Thanks to hail's ability to break Focus Sashes and create 100% accurate Blizzards, Snover makes a great anti-lead. Protect serves two purposes on this set that are vital to its effectiveness. First, it allows Snow Warning to break the opponent's sash before they get a chance to harm you; secondly, it blocks Fake Out from the likes of Meowth, allowing Snover to survive a U-Turn and hit the switch in with Blizzard. Blizzard is the main attacking move due to it being Snover's most powerful attack. Ice Shard's coverage may be redundant with Blizzard's, but it lets Snover revenge kill faster, weakened opponents and destroy Gligar. Energy Ball allows Snover to hit Water-types for super effective damage, and helps to patch up the redundant coverage that running two Ice moves brings.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
With a Choice Scarf Snover hits 21 Speed, which is enough to outspeed any unboosted Pokemon in Little Cup. This allows Snover to make up for its relatively poor Speed stat, while giving up the freedom to change moves. With Choice Specs, Snover is able to hit 22 Special Attack, allowing it to rip holes through the opposing team with a STAB Blizzard.
Blizzard is your primary STAB and main attack with it never missing under hail, crushing anything that does not resist it or named Munchlax. Energy Ball is a secondary STAB and covers Water-types such as Buizel and Kabuto. Water Pulse allows Snover to hit Fire-types, notably Houndour and Ponyta. Hidden Power Fire lets Snover 2HKO Bronzor, while Hidden Power Fighting hits Munchlax, who would otherwise completely wall this set. The EVs on this set reflect the choice of Hidden Power Fire. If one chooses Hidden Power Fighting, four EVs need to be added to both Defense and Special Defense.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Snover is one of the few lucky Pokemon in Little Cup who has access to both a two-stage boosting move and STAB priority in the same set. This set may be Snover's most dangerous set, using a combination of Substitute and Swords Dance to set up a potential sweep. Swords Dance lets Snover bolster its Attack stat and Substitute allows Snover to set up behind a safety cushion. Ice Shard is Snover's main STAB and priority move, which makes up more Snover's lack of Speed. Seed Bomb, another STAB, allows Snover to hit harder than it would with Ice Shard and is especially useful against Pokemon Snover outpaces. In terms of actual damage output, Wood Hammer is an extremely strong attack that can replace Seed Bomb, but at the cost of recoil damage.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
While this set looks identical to the Swords Dance set, its tried-and-true purpose is to effectively lure in several Pokemon with the combination of Blizzard and Wood Hammer. This ultimately opens up sweeping opportunities for Snover's teammates. Outside of luring, Snover makes an excellent mid-game transition Pokemon, as it is able to keep Rain Dance teams at bay throughout the entire match.
This set's success lies in pulling off the combination correctly; however, it is important to note that revealing Wood Hammer before Blizzard might expose this set's true purpose. If everything goes correctly, this set will effectively lure typical switch-ins to Blizzard, namely Munchlax and Mantyke. With Stealth Rock down, Munchlax and Mantyke are always 2HKOed by the aforementioned combination. Ice Shard can check Gligar, while Hidden Power Fire allows Snover to hit Bronzor and opposing Snover for super effective damage. The former will be hit for the 4HKO, while the latter is OHKOed. Swords Dance can replace Hidden Power Fire if you want to sweep late-game with Snover after it accomplishes its luring task. If you do choose to use Swords Dance, remember to remove 4 EVs from Attack, Special Attack, and Speed, as they are not necessary with 31 IVs. You can use the leftover EVs to add an additional point in Special Defense.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
Snover may be able to run a Choice Band set consisting of Ice Shard, Seed Bomb or Wood Hammer, Iron Tail, and Return to net some surprise kills. Unfortunately, this set is walled by Steel-types, even more so than the Special Choice set.
Ice Punch gives Snover a stronger physical attack, but Ice Shard's priority tends to be more helpful in many situations. Icy Wind may surprise faster switch-ins, but it lacks power and is made redundant by Ice Shard's priority. Snover gets Shadow Ball and may be useful on the Special Choice set, but Blizzard hits those Ghost-types hard enough. Snover gets Synthesis, but it should never be used; remember that when hail is active, Synthesis recovers a pitiful 25% and only has five PP.
Checks and Counters
Bronzor is a good general counter, only fearing an item-boosted Hidden Power Fire. Munchlax will wall the Special Choice set, only worrying about a Choice Specs Hidden Power Fighting and the physical sets. Fire-types in general are good counters to Snover as they resist both of Snover's STABs and can OHKO it with any Fire-type attack. In particular, Growlithe with Intimidate makes a great counter to the physical sets as the Intimidate drop cripples Snover's chances of sweeping. Shieldon is a good counter, resisting Blizzard and Ice Shard and having the choice of carrying Flamethrower to OHKO Snover. Any Pokemon who is faster than Snover and can handle a boosted Ice Shard will have a decent chance of defeating the Swords Dance variant. Choice item sets, as usual, can be countered with good prediction, and with Stealth Rock set down early, it cannot repeatedly switch in, as it is weak to it.
