How It WorksIn PreparationService LocationsAppointments
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a highly specialized test that produces very clear images of the body without the use of X-rays. Boulder Community Hospital offers three state of the art 1.5 tesla MRI's and one Open MRI scanner.
Benefits of MRI
Main uses of MRI are for diagnosis of health problems including internal injuries, early-stage strokes, cancers, musculoskeletal problems, brain and nervous system disorders and state of the art cardiac scanning. The scan is also used to evaluate soft tissue masses, bone tumors and spinal problems such as herniated discs. Boulder Community Hospital offers some specific specialty exams not offered by most facilities. These inclued Breast Imaging, MRI guided needle localization
How It Works
The MRI scanner produces a wide variety of two and three-dimensional images using a large magnet, radio waves, and a computer. The patient lies on his back on a bed that is moved into a horizontal tube. The machine uses short bursts of a powerful magnetic field to create images. During the scan, you must lie very still for about 30 to 45 minutes. The scanner makes loud tapping sounds each time a part of the body is being scanned, so headphones or earplugs are available to lessen the sounds. There is no preparation required for a MRI scan.
A board-certified radiologist interprets the images created by the scan and sends a report to your physician.
MRI is a pain-free procedure and a wonderful diagnostic tool for many people. However, necessary precautions need to be followed. Because magnets are used, some people are not good candidates for this exam, such as individuals with heart pacemakers. Always provide your doctor with important information about your health before having a MRI.

Chlynn- love the purple and lavender(I think that is the lighter color). Great job on the block. Sue | ||||
Thanks, sue. The lighter lavender is much prettier in person. It has little white dots on it too and they do not show at all in the photo. Thank you BOMChicks for the lovely red fat quarter you sent me. I love it. I do mostly red, white and blue quilts for military charities and it will be perfect. | ||||
Another month of beautiful blocks. I hope to work on mine tomorrow, I've been down with the cold/flu crud since last week Friday.

Gorgeous blocks. | ||||
Just back from Lancaster, plan to glue myself in front of machine and sew tomorrow. | ||||
Pretty | ||||
We went away for the weekend...and for me, that means I got to sew, sew, sew! Here's my March block! My flash didn't go off, so the picture is a little dark... | ||||
WQFC- your RWB blocks looks great. Now you are ready for the April BOM. Sue | ||||
Really like the RWB, WQFC! Looks good! Chylnn, very pretty block you got done! I'm liking each one a lot. Such varied color combinations make this interesting to see how the same pattern can look different. | ||||
Chlynn, your block is lovely! WQFC,I love your block, very comfy fabrics... | ||||
I haven't done much sewing, except I helped Sister Sue with a baby quilt she is making, but no "me" sewing. I did get some kitchen cupboards and pantry cleaned out. I love that I can open the door now and things don't come crashing down. Today I'm going to sew my chain blocks, ya know I'm on plan X now right???LOL | ||||
WQFC, I like your red, white and blue bloc colors. I still cannot decide on my chain blocks. | ||||
Thank you all! Chlynn - I haven't made one chain block yet. I played with many different layouts in EQ6. I think I've finally decided what I'm going to do, since I haven't changed my mind in about 3 or 4 weeks! I wanted to have a few of the blocks done before I really committed myself! | ||||
I have finished up all of my chain blocks and love them! This is the first set of chain blocks I have ever made and was quite worried about it. As it turned out, I ended up completely reversing my fabrics on my chains (only made one as a sample and realized this!). I had already cut out all of my chain pieces! So now, I mixed it up a bit and am able to use half of the previously cut out chain fabric pieces and added some more to make my final look. In the process I also managed to make two more sample chain blocks that were both different sizes! I swe@r! The good news is that I do learn with each mistake I make with this traditional piecing stuff! As I posted earlier though, once my chains were made, I didn't like my BOM fabbies with them and had to change directions with my BOMs. Now I love all of them! | ||||
TTT- March will soon be ending and I am looking for more finished BOM. Who still needs to show pics??? Sue | ||||
I see that my name hasn't been added to the list of finishers. AND...Malou can be added too! Here's her block! I love it! Makes me kinda want to re-do mine. I had something like that in mind and then went a different way. Here's Malou's block! | ||||
Thanks so much WQFC for posting my block! It's appreciated very much! I see Chlynn is also not listed yet... that means I'm #18 done (I think). Hope we do hit 20, or more, by the end of the month. | ||||
I haven't been here for a while. Beautiful blocks have been made! Here's mine. It's straight but it doesn't look that way | ||||
Very pretty Anael! I love the way the color values look transparent... | ||||
Anael, that is a beautiful block. Ditto what Alex... said. Glad you got it finished. Only 7 more days until the April block comes out.What do you suppose our leaders picked for us this time???? | ||||
Blocks are all turning out beautiful. I keep having thoughts of "oh, I really like her colors...maybe I should change..." | ||||
Here is my block. Color is much prettier in person the pink is darker and more subdued. All of them that have been posted are so pretty. Cannot wait for the April block. This was kind of easy think the next will have something like a "y" seam? | ||||
Oh No "Y" seams???? That will really test my patience. I got all my chain blocks done and put them out with the monthly blocks, I think it is looking good. Then I had to hide them, because Sue is coming over tomorrow and I haven't showed them to her. YET!!!LOL She won't show me hers either and I was looking. | ||||
Great color blocks by Anael, Malou and RN55. These blocks are looking terrific. What beautiful quilts we will all have when Dec. comes. Lets keep them coming. Sue | ||||
Had to come and check out everyones blocks for inspiration, not to go select from my red and whites Everyones blocks are great! " Life is short, Break the rules, Forgive quickly, Kiss slowly, Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably, And never regret anything that made you smile.. " | ||||

More beautiful blocks, seeing three months of blocks I'm getting curious about the secret chain blocks. My March block is ready to be assembled I'll finish before the 31st. My Photos http://www.flickr.com/photos/22365100@N04/ Crazyquilting Wiki: http://crazyquilting.pbwiki.com myblog http://fabricandpapercrafts.blogspot.com/index.html | ||||
The short Chick is going to be kind of busy this week laying eggs so all the kids can have Easter Egg hunts with plenty of eggs. She won't have time to get into trouble. LOL | ||||
2014 ... I wish you good health, love, peace and QUILTING! | ||||
Nice blocks and colors KBlue, Chlynn and Anael! I like every block I've seen this month! I get that feeling, too, KBlue, of when I see the beautiful colors of others it makes me want to change mine! Nice that we're at 20 finishers! And it sounds like we'll have a couple more. Who said Y-seams???? They need a good slap!! LOL! Chicky, just concentrate on Easter and getting those eggs out! No messin' around with hard blocks for us!! | ||||
ok that was me that said y seams and trust me it wasn't cause I wanted them I just have feeling they are going to do it to us! | ||||
Just teasin' with you RN! Who know what our sneaky leaders will have for us next! We'll know soon! | ||||
April 1 cannot get here fast enough! | ||||
I'm so gonna be trying to get my block finished by the skin of my teeth...I think I can...I think I can... I'm anxious to get to work on it..I love my fabrics for this one just not sure which design I want to do...I love the different blocks this month " Life is short, Break the rules, Forgive quickly, Kiss slowly, Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably, And never regret anything that made you smile.. " | ||||
Such nice fabric picks. Enjoy seeing the variety. Almost time for the April block! | ||||
RN, your block is very nice. I like pink and brown together. | ||||
Thank you me too and I am not a fan of pink. But I really like these blocks | ||||
It took me forever to get back to this block and I wasn't sure I would get it finished in time, but here it is. | ||||
headielamar, beautiful block! | ||||
Finished! I need to repress but here is my March block. My Photos http://www.flickr.com/photos/22365100@N04/ Crazyquilting Wiki: http://crazyquilting.pbwiki.com myblog http://fabricandpapercrafts.blogspot.com/index.html | ||||
Finished mine after dinner tonight, just in time to see what the new block will be " Life is short, Break the rules, Forgive quickly, Kiss slowly, Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably, And never regret anything that made you smile.. " | ||||
Really like your blocks ladies! Bring on the next one! I might have a problem with the next one because I'm doing the monthly birthstones. April is a diamond. What other color besides white with silver sparkles could I use? | ||||
Oh!PatriciaAnne, Diamonds come in all differnt colors now, just to name a few you have brown, blue, yellow so you have your pick. Handie Ann | ||||
Hey Trish! You did it! Once again, your red and white is so pretty! PatriciaAnne...maybe you can use white in the center somehow. And, like Ann, I believe diamonds come in all colors too. Maybe the gals will cooperate and give us something with a diamond shape in it. Is tomorrow the day? | ||||
Just want to say, Nice blocks everyone. Let's remember that our fearless leaders Might pull some kind of April 1st joke on us too. Chicky has really been behaving herself this year, I think she will take this time to catch us good . Just a few more hours until we find out what the new block will look like. Pat | ||||
Good to see some more BOM done. Great job and you all finished on time. Soon the new one will be out. Sue | ||||

Romanesque capital in the nave depicting the liberation of St. Peter from prison. On the main part of the capital (not shown here), he sits in a rather ornate prison with a rope around his neck and an angel appears to show the way out. On the right side of the capital (shown), a guard stands outside the cell with a key, showing that the door was locked the whole time. According to the biblical story, the guard was so amazed by the miracle that he converted.

Mi Bella Flor Ring
Mi Bella Flor, my beautiful flower, was what I thought after I completed the rendering of the materials at hand. I thought how wonderful the vintage inspired coin bead for the center made it a thing of beauty. At first I thought it was too large to be a ring, but wore it for an hour and decided that was its destiny! Czech Glass coin and petal beads some wire and a jump ring, simple materials for a beautiful work of art to wear about.

Is Homebrewing Cheaper than Buying Beer?
My brother bought me a Brew in a Bag (BIAB) grains IPA kit for Christmas, and I had a lot of fun making and fermenting the beer, which I tweaked a little with a fresh mint twist. We have yet to see how well it comes out, as it's currently sitting on its yeast for at least the rest of the week, then priming sugar + bottling, a couple weeks of rest, and finally it will be drinkable. It's a little one-gallon kit, and my yield is probably hurt by my small stovetop pot. I might only get 10 bottles out of it.
Extracting sugars, the hops, and the final fermenting setup
I'm wondering now–how much would it cost to buy basic equipment to make a 5-gallon batch? Here's what you need:
- 7 gallon Brewing pot
- Muslin bag
- 6.5 Gallon Carboy w/Airlock
- Starsan
- Hydrometer
- Bottle Capper
- Thermometer
- Autosiphon
- Tubing
I can buy everything except the brewing pot for $90 at our local store, the pot runs $80 but it's a nice 7.5 gallon size. So far, just investing in basic equipment, we are at $170 in startup costs.
Then for a recipe and point of comparison, we'll look at a Nugget Nectar clone, pricing it retail at $13/6-pack (this is NYC sadly):
- 6.5 lbs Continental Pils Malt: $18
- 7.0 lbs Munich Malt: $16
- 5.0 oz Crystal 120L: $2
- 1.00 oz 13%aa Nugget 60′: $2
- 0.50 oz 13%aa Simcoe 30′: $2.5
- 1.00 oz 16%aa Warrior 20′ $2.5
- 1.25 oz 16%aa Tomahawk 0′ or hopback: $2.25
- 1.00 oz 8%aa Palisade 0′ or hopback: $2
- 1.00 oz 13%aa Simcoe DH: $2.5
- 1.00 oz 8%aa Palisade DH: $2
- Cal-Ale Yeast: $7
The total cost of this recipe is $58.75 or about $60, for 54 bottles of beer. So, about $1.10 per bottle. Whereas, buying 54 bottles in store in NYC costs about $117, or $2.1 a bottle. By making your own beer, you can save a dollar a bottle, and enjoy the process!
I'm actually a bit surprised that that malt is that expensive, perhaps there's a better source?
To make back your startup costs of $170 you'll need to brew at least 2 full five-gallon batches. After that, you're in profitable territory! And some of the items, such as yeast, or large bulk orders of hops, can be used for multiple sessions, further driving down costs. I wouldn't be surprised to see under a dollar a bottle if you bought in bulk.
Update: I should multiple pricing on the DME by .75 to get the equivalent grains ratio, which would give me $8.5 off the batch, for $50 even or $.93 a bottle, for a savings of $67. If I did all-grains, the price would be another 20% lower.
Hidden Radio: A Review
If you aren't familiar with Hidden Radio & BlueTooth Speaker by John VDN + Vitor Santa Maria, it is one of the more popular Kickstarter projects, having $938,771 on a $125,000 goal. Their plan was to create "the simplest, most powerful radio and wireless speaker for iPhone + iPad ever." In this review, we'll see if the bluetooth behemoth lives up to the hype!
The packing for HiddenRadio is immaculate, iPhone style, with a certain simplicity that seems to be directly ripped off from an old-school iPod box. There's no Microsoft-esque list of system requirements or tacky stickers. You'd feel proud wrapping one of the Hidden Radios up for a gift. There is a subtle panel of use-cases on the back, while the other three sides are product shots:
I opened it up; inside you get a few accessories:
- A USB mini cable for charging
- An audio mini-jack FM radio antenna cable
- An audio mini-jack cable to connect to your Sony Walkman or … whatever
- A microfiber drawstring dust pouch
Also, there's the unit itself. A rounded grey (hey dude, I order silver!) cylinder, it looks sleek and is shorter than a beer bottle, and slightly smaller than your palm in diameter. They're cute looking little devices, and it's the design concept rather than the sound engineering, I believe, which got them their first million dollars in Kickstarter sales:
Build & Sound Quality
So how does it sound? I received two units, and they are slightly different. Both units exhibit a mediocre range with very little bass when placed on a flat surface. Treble is also attenuated, so you end up having to set EQ on your iPhone to "Rock" or a similar setting to get a response that sounds similar to the song you're trying to listen to. When held in the air, the speaker sounds quite a lot better. Also, the volume control doesn't work terribly well. If you set your iPhone to 100% output (no eq), the Hidden Radio will actually distort. So instead of using the beautiful twist feature to control volume, you'll most likely leave your HiddenRadio 80% open and control volume from your iPhone. More than 80% and the sound quality again degrades.
Another sound quality issue I encountered was a constant buzzing from the unit–but only one of them. The other HiddenRadio didn't have the same poor circuitry causing the buzz. Fortunately, it seems to be worst only when turned on, or in front of a monitor, and not playing sound. Once it locks onto a bluetooth signal, the buzz amplitude is reduced or eliminated–but you might notice it on a quiet song!
As for the build quality, it's not good enough. I'm not sure why you twist the device left to open, which is an awkward motion for right-handers. The device feels plastic, and doesn't have enough weight in the base to stick to the surfaces you place it on, so actually turning it on usually takes two hands: one to stabilize it, the other to twist it open. This defaults the main point of Hidden Radio: the gorgeous twits-to-open feature. Both of my units suffer from superficial defects: the first has paint already chipping off the plastic around the base ring, while the second one's grille has a permanent dimple. See if you can spot it:
Hidden Radio definitely needs to improve their quality assurance process before selling to the mainstream customer. Another example–one unit came with some charge, while the other (better) unit was entirely uncharged:
The base also needs a few more pounds of weight so that it sticks. Right now, I either need to apply more downwards force than it would take to fire an NYPD glock, or pick the thing up in two hands to turn it on.
The Hidden Radio has all of its input ports on the bottom–you charge it through a mini-USB cable that plugs in on the base. You can also either give it direct audio input or FM antenna through a minijack on the base. There's also a bluetooth/direct input/FM radio switch and channel picker to control the modes there:
Other Reviews
You can check out their KickStarter comments page which includes mostly negative feedback. The founders appear to be removing anything but positive comments from their Facebook page. Here are a few comments from Kickstarter:
- I bought a five pack to give as gifts, unfortunately, the one I opened to try (only after hearing all the negative reviews) it sounds TERRIBLE. At low volume it is so distorted that I cannot bear to listen.
- I received two units, both look very nice. But the first one has a lot of white noise in the background while charging via USB, the second one's volume control is out of order.
- Well add one more backer with the frustrating automatic shut-off between two and three minutes. This only happens in wireless and wired mode though. In FM mode the HR stays on.
- Everything worked flawlessly out of the box. Simple, easy to use, well made and it really does sound good.
- Frankly I have to say that the sound quality is horrible yet especially at the max volume. Voice being distorted and sound stage is bad.
- First of all, this thing is solid. It's surprisingly heavy, which is nice because with the "no movement" pad on the bottom it has no problem staying in place on a variety of surfaces (I tested glass, wood, and laminate). Secondly, the range is amazing. I have a small 3/2 house and I can sit it in one corner of the house and play music in the other corner. That's going through 3 walls, one of which is insulated. Finally, the volume is loud, surprisingly loud.
TechHive also gave it a big "meh" review.
My Take?
This is HiddenRadio v1, which for $115/unit, you get a gorgeous bluetooth speaker you can plug into your bedroom and kitchen and rock out while you read, cook, do chores, etc. The sound quality is acceptable, if you know how to goose the settings, and hopefully the Hidden Radios will survive the test of time. I'd give it a 3/5, for now, until they improve the frequency response of the units. Bluetooth is also a bit gimmicky, and quite static-prone.
I don't care about direct minijack access or FM radio; just give me an amazing bluetooth speaker with great batter life, a bigger speaker or more speakers for better sound, and a twist-to-the-right to open, and I'd happily give you 5/5!
Travel to Manaus, Brazil is Dangerous
Since American Airlines was offering super cheap roundtrip flights to Manaus, in the Amazon region of north Brazil, I figured I'd jump on it! I booked myself a nice $550 NYC JFK-MAO roundtrip, and thanks to a promotion, I'll earn double miles on the MIA-MAO segments both ways! I figured this would be awesome! First time in Brazil! Travelling by myself! Not speaking Portuguese! However, a few things happened that made reconsider adventuring here again…
One of the almost-shanty-town areas that are common in Manaus
I got Robbed at Knifepoint…
The first day I was toying all the sights of Manaus. Generally felt pretty safe. Walked all over; posted photos to Facebook.
On my way back a pitter-patter of feet became a pressure at my back, I turned around ( that probably caused the scratch ) and there's a scrawny campesino with a knock-off kitchen knife telling me he wants my bag, in Portuguese. I'm backing up and telling him in Spanish I have money and going for my wallet. But our mutual incomprehension opens up a gap, and 12 feet is too far. I turn and bolt while he stuffs his salad carver into his pants. Since I assume I must now be in a bad area I head up the opposite direction and go home. It was 3 in the afternoon, and people on the street 50 feet away.
I put some iodine on my scratch which wasn't too bad, and promptly started chain smoking. I think I was robbed around R. Cel. Sérgio Pessoa and R. Miranda Leão, so keep your wits about you when you're in the Mercado Municipal area.
Debit Card Skimmer Fraud
I took out some cash at the airport, and came back to find the following charges made after my flight had departed:
09/26/2012 ATM Transaction NON-CHASE ATM WITHDRAW 519173 09/26 TECBAN PR BR Real 1000.00 X 0.4939526 (EXCHG RTE) + 15.00 (EXCHG RTE ADJ $514.88 09/25/2012 ATM Transaction NON-CHASE ATM WITHDRAW 403240 09/25 BANCO DO BR Real 1000.00 X 0.4934100 (EXCHG RTE) + 14.80 (EXCHG RTE ADJ $508.21 09/24/2012 ATM Transaction NON-CHASE ATM WITHDRAW 500187 09/24 BANCO DO BR Real 1000.00 X 0.4941900 (EXCHG RTE) + 14.83 (EXCHG RTE ADJ $509.02
It seems that whoever cloned my card at the airport had been taking out the maximum 1000 reals until I shut them down. I actually don't know whether it was a skimmer, a hidden camera, or even an entirely fake ATM. When I tried to get cash at the airport, only 1 of 4 ATMs worked, so there are at least three others that could have been entirely fake.
Terrible Airport Service
And it wasn't AA's fault! I know they've been getting press for seats and things falling off their planes, but in Manaus, it's the local airport workers who will delay your flight by over an hour, without giving you any updates. And for some odd reason they took my lighter, even though it's allowed according to TSA regs. They also have a bizarre screening protocol where they ask you about any of your new electronics (to see if they're fakes containing drugs or bombs), so I told the agent about my new Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7…
We were told "be here from 9:30 – 10:30 strictly" to go through an immigration check. However, waiting to board our plane, we saw people coming through even after the plane was scheduled to take off. So I blame the delay on the airport's inability to do its job and take off on time, even if it means some could be late.
Not much to do?
There are really two main historical buildings in Manaus, which are the Teatro Amazonas, an old-style opera house/theater, and the Centre of Justice which has an ancient, no longer used, courtroom. The two buildings are nearly adjacent, so if you see one, you'll see them all! I can even save you the time by posting a quick photo:
If you want to drink, there won't be a proper pub/bar like you may be used to. Most cervecerias serve you a large bottle, a glass, and a beer coozie (a frozen sleeve to keep your beer cool). While this is imminently enjoyable in the Brazilian heat, you won't be finding a lot of cocktails or beer on tap.
Crime is ridiculously high
I think, now, every traveller needs to google their destination city + "crime", as I found Rio drug trade turns Amazon city into crime capital from just a year ago, only after I returned. Some choice quotes:
Rio's drug conflict has claimed tens of thousands of lives since the 1980s; in Manaus the drug trade is also taking its toll. A growing local market for cocaine has triggered a rise in homicides. Official figures show the number of murders rose over by 9% this year.
If you do go, bring a travel buddy and stay safe. And enjoy an Amazon safari, which is fun, and visit the CIGS Zoo or the Bosque da Ciencia. TripAdvisor has a pretty great list. And the Caesar Business is a great hotel.

We offer two ways to locate information:
We have added the following products to your shopping cart from a previous visit:
Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.
Blend: Shiraz 94%, Viognier 6%.
"Good colour; highly perfumed bouquet, with an abundance of black fruits, savoury charcuterie, and a suggestion of violets; the palate is seamless and beautifully poised, with the acidity providing contrast to the lavish levels of fruit; a well constructed example of the style. Screwcap." 94 Points Australian Wine Companion
"The 2008 Laughing Magpie Shiraz-Viognier (6%) spent 12 months in 15% new French and American oak. It is deep crimson-colored with an alluring bouquet of cedar, lilacs, Asian spices, black cherry, and blueberry. On the palate it is medium to full-bodied, concentrated, and layered with savory fruit. Nicely balanced, it will evolve for 2-3 years and drink well through 2020. " 91 Points The Wine Advocate
"Starts off dark and a bit brooding, with aromas of plum, espresso and black olive, but shows hints of brighter fruit elements on the palate. Mouthfilling but dry on the finish, this is still very young; decant if serving now, or try 2013-2020." 90 Points Wine Enthusiast
"Inky purple. High-pitched dark berry and floral aromas are complicated by notes of black pepper and woodsmoke. Pliant, palate-coating dark fruit flavors are framed by velvety tannins, picking up a note of licorice on the back half. Surprisingly brisk, even taut, on the finish, which leaves spice and floral notes behind. This benefits quite a bit from aeration." 90 Points International Wine Cellar
One of the undisputed kings of Australian Shiraz and Rhone varietals, d'Arenberg has managed to turn individuality into an art form by doing a whole lot of little things differently.

Yet I understand the moral imperative that should guide us all. If you support capitalism, as I do, then you must recognize that, by definition, there will be those who fail.

I have those two games myself. MotorStorm is great IMO, but just not made for single player for most (okay with me though).Anyone who has added me, I haven't been on-line in a while, so sorry if I haven't accepted yet
I still only have Resistance and RR7
Any other great MO's for PS3? Motorstorm? anything else?
Yeah, I noticed you haven't been on much in a while, but that's all right.

I ran into the same thing with Halo 2 years back. Me and my friend were always at his house playin everyone in Multiplayer. We made like 3-4 clans, til' we finally grouped together some decent players who weren't children.
Then we graduated and went back to Counter-Strike. He stuck w/ 1.6, I moved on to Source
Lesson here is...you'll eventually move away from Halo 2.
Btw, are there still a butt-load of hackers, modders, dudes who stand-by, children who talk smack, people who spam n' what not? Those were the reasons we lost interest.
PS3 will be there with open arms ;D

Snake-Viewing Steals Spotlight At Rattlesnake Rodeo
Channel-Lee Stadium has opened its gates for another year of the Rattlesnake Rodeo. "The rodeo has been going on for 53 years in Opp... a long time!" Said Don Childre, who has been coming to the rodeo the last 43 years. Now, he coordinates the event and is also a snake handler. "This is an Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake. This is what people come to the Rattlesnake Rodeo to see," Said childre handling one of the 35 snakes. While the snake viewing has taken over the spotlight, there's also fun for all ages, including shopping and live entertainment by country bands Little Texas and Steel Magnolia. And with more than a hundred food vendors at the rodeo, you should be able to find anything that satisfies your craving -- but if you're feeling courageous you can always try the rodeo's famous rattlesnake meat. Rodeo visitors like Jennifer Richardson say they're back to re-live the experience. "It's probably been about 30 years... and my dad brought me and my brother back then. And now, I'm back with my kids and niece and nephew," Said Richardson. Gates will open again tomorrow morning at 8 a.m. and tickets are $20, but if you arrive before 3 p.m., you'll only have to pay $10. |

Solid for the price
October 22, 2012
I don't know if the guys below got a bad batch of wheels or what. I'm 180lbs and have skated on sport court with these wheels for 15 games with no chunking, cracking or splitting. They are 74A and they are meant for indoor sportcourt surface, not cement, concrete or asphault.

Awful Wheels
June 28, 2012
Bought a pair of Easton Stealth F12s that came with these wheels...after less than 10 games playing on sport court only, a HUGE chunk just fell off one of my front wheels and ended my nite late in a tie game. Switching to Labedas based on teammates' suggestions.

Poor wheels
June 20, 2012
These wheels came with my Easton Stealth F5s and were fine for the first 2 skates but on the 3rd night one by one they either chunked heavily or came away from the hub. They were used on wooden gym floor (basketball court) and although grippy clearly cannot handle more stress than a peewee player.

Spare Wheel
January 30, 2011
Wheels were ok for the first 5 games, after that, one by one, they halved themselves. Very poorly made wheels, only use as backup in a game if one of your wheels breaks and your in a pickle.
5 Stars
Sweet Wheels
January 21, 2011
VanG used these wheels on cement floor which is pretty much the exact opposite of what you should skate on with these. They plainly say INDOOR which means they are meant for indoor surfaces such as a sport-court hockey surface or something similar. Just because you use them inside some type of structure doesn't mean it's an indoor surface. On the sport-court rink I play on these wheels are glorious!
2 Stars
These wheels fracture
January 17, 2011
These wheels would fracture in 3-4 games. Mine keep on doing it on the cement flooring with typical stopping.
Does not seem to worth it despite low price tag as they would go in pieces in the middle of the game, one at a time. |

"Excellent tablet, bad manufacture3 service"
1.0 starson by yonexpPros: excellent hardware perfomance
Cons: easy to crack screen display, bad ASUS service slow response, expensive to repair if the tablet cost $479 the service for replacement screen will be $300. very bad communication between costumer and support
Summary: good tablet, just when you are going to menu applications the background is black I don't know why?
- 2 replies to this review
The customer service experience associated with a product is CERTAINLY relevant and should be included in the product review. Personally, I would like to know how the company will respond if I have a problem with my tablet, and this is not the first time I've seen bad things about ASUS support- do a little research.
I agree that one star review is a little harsh, but there's no excuse for lousy customer service, especially if you are shelling out $300 plus for a tablet. -
The reviews are for the tablet not the service that comes with it don't give it 1 star for service. Thats just plain stupid. Maybe a four if its excellent but service isn't GOSH!!!

A dramatic high altitude trek in the Andean range made famous in Joe Simpson's 'Touching the Void'
The small yet magnificent Huayhuash Range is richly glaciated, steep and dramatic, and is home to Peru's second highest peak, Yerupaja (6634m). This demanding trek around the range is one of the world's most spectacular mountain circuits, and the true walking enthusiast is rewarded with unequalled views of its turquoise glacial lakes, jagged snow-capped peaks and stunning hanging glaciers that extend thousands of metres from the peaks.
What makes this trip responsible?
Whilst on the trek, we employ camp staff and mule wranglers from the local communities to ensure we contribute directly to the regional economy. Our local partners in Peru hold an ISO 14001 certification for their environmentally sound practices and meet the sustainable tourism requirements of the Rainforest Alliance.

Ok, UPDATE....I have designed an order form that separates all this out and keeps it straight...important for YOU for ME and for the vendor. I'm gonna try saving the form as a jpeg and posting it....will have it here by tonight, almost done.
Until then, please do not send payment. Some of you have sent payment through paypal as "payment for goods" and Paypal takes a % of that...it has to be a gift or send funds I believe...also the form will have your totals on there and this will be one more chance to make any changes to your order before I take it in.
So chill and check back in later today..

PF/PCA is dedicated to nurturing and encouraging artists, and the advancement of artistic excellence in all forms of visual art, from existing disciplines to those yet to be imagined. The artistic exchange, the sharing of thoughtful experiences with others, is at the core of our cultural philosophy. We believe that cultivating a fertile environment for artistic exploration and expression is essential to the community's growth. It is crucial that art (making it and showing it) is accessible. The creation of art is inextricably linked to free thought; and should never be limited. Art inspires community, at every level, to advance cultural dialogue. PF/PCA provides opportunities for this sort of dialogue by focusing on both content, and space, creating environments that encourage an open exchange of images and ideas.

"WorkingYouTubeViews.com charged $46 for 20,000 views; IncreaseYouTubeViews.com was paid $57 for another 20,000." I'm really curious as to both how these folks are doing this and whether/how YouTube is filtering these views or counting them for relevancy/appearance in search/SEO on Google itself/etc.
Samuel Crocker Mar 07 2012 LinkTo your points Rand, from what I have seen there are a number of ways that people do this (including but not limited to the somewhat clever to the really old school - playing embed videos in the background with mute enabled, iframes, etc.). From the little bit I have seen around this YouTube does not appear to do a *great* job of filtering the views and the degree to which these views could have a positive ranking impact at least within YouTube, though I've done less investigation as to the knock-on effect within universal search/etc. Would also be interested to hear more if anyone else has experience.
Samuel Crocker Mar 07 2012 LinkThe whole concept is funny to me. I've had a play around with the concept and obviously there are benefits to bloated view counts but I (and others on my team) have been on a bit of a constant crusade against this sort of activity. The views are meaningless and the type of eyeballs that you get through this sort of activity is meaningless. If you were to do it as a pure rankings play then there would probably be some benefit to be had but it boggles my mind that the people selling this sort of thing do so under the guise of "increased outreach" and report based on the number of views. Spoofing/buying views is not hard and never has been... getting people to actually care? Well that's a different story.
Greg Dickson Mar 07 2012 LinkOne of the ways is to direct fake views though a mobile referrer, some of the services I've seen/tested have a very high stick rate within YouTube. While I agree with Sam in regards to meaningless of the faking views, the perception of a high view count does wonders for your CTR. As a ranking factor it offers very little.

Man to face child cruelty charges over laced soup
JONESBORO, Georgia (AP) -- County prosecutors will pursue child cruelty charges against a man who admitted tampering with his children's soup to get money from the Campbell Soup Co.
William Allen Cunningham, 41, pleaded guilty to communicating false claims last week in federal court. But local officials said those charges do not address the harm done to his children.
Clayton County District Attorney Jewel Scott said the state case will be reopened and prosecutors will seek to indict Cunningham on five counts of child cruelty.
Cunningham's 3-year-old son and 18-month-old daughter were hospitalized twice in January 2006 -- the first time after eating soup laced with hot peppers and lighter fluid, and the second time with the prescription drugs Prozac and Amitriptyline.
According to federal prosecutors, Cunningham called the soup company and threatened to sue. Under the terms of his federal plea agreement, Cunningham could be sentenced to as many as five years in federal prison when he is sentenced April 19.

wooooooooow..this one just goes so far beyond reason..putting a finger in the chili to get paid is one thing..but lighter fluid, and then actually having your kids eat it? jeeeeze
People who see life as anything more than pure entertainment are missing the point.

Put the guy away!
It would be doing his kids a favor.

It is called Munchausen by proxy and it is a pretty sad mental illness.
Usually happens to women though, this is one of the first times I have heard of a man showing symptoms.Zeus wrote:
