I recently found a decent home to purchase. After looking around, I saw that there is a sewage cover in the backyard. My realtor tells me: "The manhole cover in the back yard is to a 42" storm drainage pipe. It is only surface water and not sewage. It runs parallel to the sewer line in the street and has never been a problem."
Should I be worried and pass on this house? If this breaks, who will be responsible in order to fix the problem?
It is most certainly a storm sewer, not a sanitary sewer. I have seen this sort of thing, particularly in yards with special circumstances, like on a reverse ravine lot, where the backyard goes up up up, or when there is a lot of the yard hardscaped, and therefore there is no natural runoff absorption. Another place I've seen them is when someone digs out a walkout from the basement, they use them just outside the entrance, to collect the water that will naturally run down into this area.
I would say, if you really like the house, then its worth doing a bit of investigation. Don't even bother talking to the realtor. Get a professional out to look at it for you and get on the phone with the city to find out the details. It probably is not cause for concern, but an informed buyer is a happy buyer!
I think I have one like this in my back yard. If you enlarge the picture, it's easier to see the cover which is under the fence behind the post to the right of the plant. A larger portion of the cover is in the neighbour's back yard.
The only 'problem' I can think of is if you build a structure over it or too close to it which may interfere with any work that needs doing to it by city workers. I never gave much thought to this when we bought this house in 2001. The fence was over it at that time, btw. A few years ago city workers were by to replace the cover for some reason, and since the new one sits a little higher they just made the cutout of the fence about 1/2" highter to accommodate it. It didn't bother me that they were in my yard to do this, but they may have chosen my yard since the neighbour has a shed close to it on the other side.
I would suggest you simply contact the city hall and ask about what kind of maintenance the thing gets, and ask for ideas about how having it there could adversly affect your decision about buying the property. They have maps that show 'way' areas where wires and pipes are, and they can tell you what kind of access may be needed there Ask about how upgrades in the future may effect you also.
I have a round storm water grate in my front lawn that was part of chaos that took place when the city took on storm sewere upgrading. Basically the street was dug up to accommodate larger cement 'pipes' but aside from no street parking during certain hours and haviing notices about when the water would be shut off, it didn't seem too bad. But things with the contractors went wrong, the street began flooding, a neighbour had his water cut off by accident and a gas line got cut. So, a big digger machine was in the middle of my lawn to fix this, and a tree that had to have been there for 30 years was sacrificed. The city made sure my lawn was set back to normal afterward, but my yard was definitely a casualty for a while. Once all was done, the bright side was that we now enjoy fresh pavement and new sidewalks!
This might have been put in by a previous owner. I live on a very high hill and some people have dry well systems in place that do the same job as the system you are referring to, however, I would determine who put it in to understand who is responsible. It may simply be a part of the town's water management system for water run-off. Our neighbour had to deal with this problem since he sits in a bit of a gulley. From my own experience it is a sign that there has been drainage issues and this is how they have been resolved. Usually that is not a problem, however, over time if there is a break in the pipe you need to know where the burden of responsibilty will be placed, you or the municipality.
I've never seen that around here, so I would not be interested. But maybe in your area it is normal so maybe not so bad.

I get called Danda because my younger brother couldn't pronounce Amanda. The best one though? My cousin's name is Courtney. This same brother had a hard time pronouncing names, I guess - and he called her "Doo doo!" Weird, right? It was hilarious, though. If we said, "Say Courtney!" He'd say, "Doo doo!" without missing a beat! He called our other brother "Bra bra", even though his name is Austin. Any other boy who wasn't Austin was called "Bree bree". Hahaha.

I was called Yaya by my little sister for years and several family members took to calling me Yaya as well. Also, my sister Elizabeth came to be called Lee which I doubt my parents had in mind, she said Lee-lee instead of Lizzy so she became Lee-lee and later Lee. She is still called Lee today, even by new friends!
My parents never seemed to mind either way if people called us by Yaya or Lee...and of course they called us that ourselves.

The Smart Evolution
Smart is much more than just two-way communication and remote calibration
By Nanda Kumar
In the book Animal Farm, author George Orwell wrote: "All animals are equal, but some are more equal." When it comes to smart technology in process control, the word smart has been abused more than used in its true connotation.
Smart devices came into commercial use in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The market enthusiastically welcomed the new concept because it offered users features not previously available. Consumers were willing to pay a few extra dollars for these added advantages.
Various industries used smart to differentiate the embedded intelligence available in the new technology from traditional solutions. When applied to computers, smart stands for self-monitoring analysis and reporting technology, which enables the PC to predict the future failure of hard disk drives.
Smart homes offer telephone control, integrated security, safety systems, and automated/independent living through networked devices connected to a central intelligence.
In process control technology, HART protocol became the catalyst and de-facto carrier of intelligent commands and feedback.
In the case of process instrumentation, when smart instruments hit the market for the first time, users were attracted by the power of HART or similar protocols that provided a way for two-way communication and remote calibration, which reduced the time efforts and expenses associated with start-up and maintenance.
Doing away with the walkie-talkie was a paradigm shift for the field technician, even if you ignore all the other benefits of the new technology.
However, as users embraced smart technology for process control, electronics, and IT technology developed on the fast track, user demands grew, pressing vendors to offer more value for the same price.
Thus arrived the second generation of smart devices. These offer much more than just two-way communication and remote calibration. Diagnostic became the key word to differentiate the leaders in the race from the rest.
Three devices contribute to more than 60% of a typical process plant's total maintenance expense: transmitters, valve positioners, and flow devices.
Transmitting success
Most of the smart transmitters available in the market offer the following benefits:
Automatic compensation for ambient temperature and line static pressure changes ensures accuracy of the final output signal.
Characterization of each transmitter by its own individual algorithm developed in simulations of most likely used environments.
No bench checks; pre-configuration to specifications substantially reduces loop verification times.
Compensation for the effects of temperature and pressure in the final output signal all but eliminates errors associated with conventional transmitters.
Constant self-testing significantly improves process reliability and performance.
Minimizing or eliminating drift ensures product quality standards are met.
Local configuration, using the smart communicator, enables on-the-spot re-ranging, calibration, and troubleshooting.
Lower transmitter-database management costs, efficient maintenance, extensive diagnostics, and reduced inventory requirements and start-up costs enable product payback in a matter of days.
A Foundation fieldbus (smart) pressure transmitter can detect plugged impulse lines and is a great feature for the end user, while making root cause analysis of a loop failure. When connected to asset management software, the transmitter generates an alarm to the operator pinpointing the reason for losing the transmitter, thus saving time and effort in determining cause of failure, reducing down time and start-up time.
Benefits of HART in Smart Systems Digital capability
Analog compatibility
HART process alerts for pressure and/or temperature reduce trouble-shooting time and unnecessary trips to the field, especially when combined with AMS. In addition, scaled process variables make reading the output more intuitive with the process.
Valves dictating flow
Valve positioners are an area whereby just writing smart, end users get a wide variety of devices. Many of the cost-effective models available in the market provide only auto calibration or just a few more features.
The auto calibration feature is indeed a great benefit. Yet when plant management wants to reduce process variability, reduce down time, increase plant availability and efficiency, and profitability, control valves are the primary target, and advanced smart features help achieve these objectives at a reasonable cost.
The following features of a true smart positioner are available on the market now, and help achieve management objectives in the plant:
Diagnostic tests include the Dynamic Error Band Test. It plots analog I/P signal vs. valve travel from -5 to 105% travel; 8,000 data points resolution; analyzed data available with minimum/average/maximum dynamic error; dynamic linearity; and zero and full range travel.
The Step Response Test plots valve travel vs. time; high resolution of 8,000 data points; tests possible with maximum 30 steps; and analyzed data available for dead band, dead time, and percent overshoot. Overlaying with previous graphs to compare performance is possible.
The Performance Step Test is a preprogrammed 29-point performance step-response test. It provides the user a standardized test to evaluate their valve performance
The Valve Signature Test plots -5 to 105% of valve travel vs. actuator pressure; high resolution of 8,000 data points; and provides analyzed data for friction, bench set, spring range, and seat load.
Online, in-service diagnostics show problems, possible causes, and recommended actions:
Valve friction measurement and trending.
Valve dead band test.
I/P and relay integrity tests can detect problems such as plugging in the I/P nozzle due to dirty air, I/P calibration shifts, and I/P or relay soft parts failures.
Air mass flow tests can detect actuator or pneumatic tubing leaks.
Supply pressure test can detect insufficient air supply or drop in air supply when large travel steps occur.
Travel deviation test can identify valve travel calibration shifts or stuck control valve.
Scheduler feature can automate online, in-service tests.
Functional features for smart flow valving include:
Custom characterization using 21 points with flexibility of varying the X-axis (set point) and Y-axis (travel target) parameters, which provides a highly accurate characteristic curve.
Travel histogram, or bar chart display, determines where the valve sits at most of the process time to identify whether the valve is correctly sized for the application.
Multiple preset tuning sets plus user adjusted and expert tuning.
Performance tuner feature to determine the optimum tuning parameters for the total valve, actuator, positioner assembly.
Batch runner automates multiple tasks like configuration, calibration, and diagnostics, performed on multiple valves with no user intervention.
Event messenger feature allows e-mail notification of alert or alarms to a remote PC or pager.
Data synchronization aligns two databases by LAN or cable.
Audit log holds complete record of all activities by user, tag, event, date, and time. It also sorts and filters data for ISO documentation requirements.
Constructional features of the newer smarter positioners feature three pressure sensors, beam balanced relay, and a fully encapsulated and powerful microprocessor.
They provide a stable, highly reliable platform for the intelligence to deliver the desired results in harsh environment with IS or ex-proof classifications.
Beam balance type relays in smart positioners allow minor loop feedback (MLFB) into the microprocessor control algorithm by way of relay valve stem- position sensing with an additional Hall Effect sensor.
MLFB is the primary damping element, which allows higher forward path gains resulting in faster response and accurate performance.
Spool design relay, available in most low tier devices, has inherent sticking problems and higher dead band. It does not have the capability to dampen the response and could result in oscillations if gain increases to improve valve performance. These offer poor response on large size / high friction valves.
Smart flow devices
Today's flow-measurement devices come loaded with features that make the best Swiss knife feel shy. They have multiple sensors and microprocessors that convert the sensed values into the most valuable process data available online at the click of a button.
Mechanical smartness still counts as a flowmeter with a v-shaped apparatus in the stream shows, so electronics are not the only way to improve performance in difficult situations.
The V-Cone flowmeter shapes the velocity profile mechanically to reflect a perfect well-developed flow prior to measurement. This precludes long downstream vortices and achieving nearly flat and stable digital signal output, which has low amplitude and high frequency.
The V-Cone (above) forms very short vortices as the flow passes the cone. These short vortices create a low amplitude, high frequency signal for excellent signal stability. The V-cone's contour-shaped cone attracts the flow without impacting it against an abrupt surface and minimizes headloss. As a result, the beta edge of the cone is not subject to wear by dirty fluids. Because it remains unchanged, V-Cones rarely, if ever, require recalibration. Smart electronics and smart mechanics enable this flow measuring device to render accurate readings when other meter types couldn't meet standards.
Indeed, it worked where the meter set had an inlet pipe with a 45 degree elbow, 12" pipe upstream, reduced to a 10" pipe, through a gate valve bolted directly to the meter.
A propeller meter had failed in the same situation. The move avoided expensive re-piping.

Recipe by ctazyboonies
"This is a family recipe that I have found most people who try it, love it. You can substitute Ritz® crackers for a sweeter taste. Also, it is very good as leftovers. Add a splash of milk and microwave."
Watch video tips and tricks
1 (16 ounce) package elbow macaroni
1 (28 ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes, drained and chopped
1 (16 ounce) package sharp Cheddar cheese, sliced
1/2 cup milk
1 (4 ounce) packet saltine crackers, crushed
My kids loved this. I used shells instead of elbow mac, and leftover ham instead of the tomatoes. Also used ritz crackers and that did give it a nice sweet taste. I think it could have used more milk to make it a bit creamier as ours was pretty dry. But still good!
This was pretty good. It's NOT at all like traditional mac and cheese so don't go into making it expecting anything like that. For us, it was a nice change of pace as a side dish. I made very minor changes - halved the recipe, shells not elbows and diced tomatoes instead of whole. Otherwise I made it as written. It could use some salt and pepper maybe, but then again the simple flavors of the tomatoes and cheese were kind of nice, not overpowered by a lot of other seasonings. I can see making this again.

Just made this. Not going to lie I forgot the milk. But I did add pizza shredded cheese, mild salsa, the liquid cheese in the pack, and sandwich pepperoni. And it wasnt half bad. Definately, have some twerking to do to get just right..

22 U.S. Code § 262k - Financial assistance to international financial institutions; considerations and criteria
Congressional declaration of intent
United States active participation in international financial institution activity is based on our national objective of furthering the economic and social development of the nations of the world, in particular the developing nations. The attainment of this national objective is most effectively realized through a world economic and financial system which is both free and stable. Therefore, it is the intent of the United States Congress that United States financial assistance to the international financial institutions should be primarily directed to those projects that would not generate excess commodity supplies in world markets, displace private investment initiatives or foster departures from a market-oriented economy.
Effect of country adjustment programs; minimization of projected adverse impacts; avoidance of government subsidization
The Secretary of the Treasury shall instruct the representatives of the United States to the international financial institutions described in subsection (d) of this section to take into account in their review of loans, credits, or other utilization of the resources of their respective institutions, the effect that country adjustment programs would have upon individual industry sectors and international commodity markets in order to—
Project proposals relating to mining, smelting, refining, and fabricating of minerals and metal products
More specifically, the following criteria should be considered as a basis for a vote by the respective United States Executive Director to each of the international financial institutions described in subsection (d) of this section against a project proposal involving the creation of new capacity or the expansion, improvement, or modification of mining, smelting, refining, and fabricating of minerals and metal products:
Analysis shows that the risks, returns, and incentives of a project are such that it could be financed at reasonable terms by commercial lending services.
International financial institutions
The international financial institutions referred to in subsections (a) and (b) of this section are the International Monetary Fund, the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development, the International Development Association, the Inter-American Development Bank, the Asian Development Bank, and the African Development Bank.
(Pub. L. 99–88, title I, § 502,Aug. 15, 1985, 99 Stat. 330; Pub. L. 102–285, § 10(b),May 18, 1992, 106 Stat. 172.)
Change of Name
"United States Bureau of Mines" substituted for "Bureau of Mines" in subsec. (c)(2) pursuant to section 10(b) ofPub. L. 102–285, set out as a note under section
1 of Title
30, Mineral Lands and Mining. For provisions relating to closure and transfer of functions of the United States Bureau of Mines, see note set out under section
1 of Title
30, Mineral Lands and Mining.
Copper Mining, Smelting, and Refining
Pub. L. 99–88, title I, § 501,Aug. 15, 1985, 99 Stat. 329, provided that: "The Secretary of the Treasury shall instruct the United States Executive Directors of the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development, the International Development Association, the International Finance Corporation, the Inter-American Development Bank, the International Monetary Fund, the Asian Development Bank, the Inter-American Investment Corporation, the African Development Bank, and the African Development Fund to use the voice and vote of the United States to oppose any assistance by these institutions, using funds appropriated or made available pursuant to this Act or any other Act, for the production of any copper commodity for export or for the financing of the expansion, improvement, or modernization of copper mining, smelting, and refining capacity."

If there is any new features you think AG3 should have, please post them here. Mods, please consider everyone's ideas. I personally have one of my own. I think you should be able to control what kinds of ads you get exposed to. Kind of a "parental control" thing. There could be 3 levels of which you could select: Lvl 1: All inappropriate ads blocked. Lvl 2: Some inappropriate ads blocked, and 3, no ads blocked.

Mods, please consider everyone's ideas.
It doesn't matter if they do or not, they have no control over what's getting put in AG3.
I think you should be able to control what kinds of ads you get exposed to. Kind of a "parental control" thing. There could be 3 levels of which you could select: Lvl 1: All inappropriate ads blocked. Lvl 2: Some inappropriate ads blocked, and 3, no ads blocked.
This is a 13+ site, and all the ads are appropriate for them. Armor Games wouldn't put inappropriate ads on their site. If you think an ad is inappropriate then you should send an email to jroyster22 at firstname.lastname@example.com. Also, I believe the ads come up from your browsing history. Such as if I look up cars on Google I'll get ads about cars. I highly doubt that they'll give us control over what ads we can see or not, and I don't think it's possible. So people can either deal with them or get an ad blocker, easy as that.
Posted Mar 6, '12 at 6:05pm
Listen, if you want to debate, go to a different topic. I just made this so people can express a new feature they think might be nice.
Posted Mar 7, '12 at 7:32am
Listen, not everyone on the Internet is going to agree with you. And if you don't want people to post what they think then don't make threads.
Posted Mar 7, '12 at 10:57am
In case you cant find the debating thread, here it is. http://armorgames.com/community/forum/3 … igion-etc/ I've told you before, I didn't make this thread so people can say what they think is good about someone's new feature and what they think is bad. I just made this so other people can say what they think might be a nice feature for AG3.
Posted Mar 7, '12 at 11:18am
It seems like you didn't read my first post. Re-read it and you'll see I'm not trying to "debate" about anything. You said there are inappropriate ads on Armor Games and you want the option to disable them. Well, if there are inappropriate ads then you report them to an administrator named jroyster22 and they get taken care of, but that's if they are actually inappropriate for people over the age of 13. Like ads showing naked women, if you ever get something like that on Armor Games then you report it. But if you're complaining about ads showing some skin (as in women wearing tight and/or small shirts) like some do as I recall, then grow up. You'll see as much skin if you go to a beach or pool. The staff isn't going to cater to a few people because they can't handle seeing animated men or women showing some skin. Also, if this applies to AG then what you search on Google will show up as ads. If I look up colleges on Google, I'll most likely get ads about them. But if not, then AG has someone look at the ads before they are on the site to make sure they are suitable. They could also have some sort of filter, I'm not sure. There's also a solution if you don't like ads, get an ad blocker for your browser. They are free, take ten seconds to install, and block all ads.
I just made this so other people can say what they think might be a nice feature for AG3.
I know, I was talking about your idea with my post. This forum is to discuss ideas about AG3, which means people can disagree with you if they want. And anyway, people make their own threads if they want to pitch in ideas, which is why there isn't one big thread for all the ideas. That would be messy.
Posted Mar 7, '12 at 5:54pm
Will you people quit with the ad debate? If you don't have a feature that you think would be fun to have on AG3, then please go somewhere else.

Look, you put a recommendation up, you expect to hear our comments. If you only want to hear people who agree with you, you're being an obstinate, puerile, childish, stick in the mud who needs to grow up. Deal with it, not everyone agrees with you.
As far as I know, close to none if not no forums have such a feature. Why would the devs have a feature that potentially saps their revenue?

omg... you people can't even see past your own nose... Just SHUT UP about the ads thing! Forget I even mentioned it!

Nepetalactone is the active ingredient in catnip.* Today we are going to isolate nepetalactone in its pure form through a steam distillation. The distilled liquid will be extracted with an organic solvent (toluene), refined, then evaporated to give the final product.
Now I know what you're thinking: is it safe for cats to be around such a concentrated extract of catnip? Hell yes! Within reason. And we're all reasonable people. Pure nepetalactone has been studied on cats extensively. In fact, "catnip oil" that is available from botanical stores is essentially just nepetalactone, and it is widely used in homeopathic medicine. More details later.
- Note: pure nepetalactone will not enable you to create a cat army.
Step 1: Crash course in steam distillation
This is particularly useful for extracting plant matter, where the steam serves double duty, breaking open cell walls and releasing volatile oils like nepetalactone. A standard apparatus that you would use in a chemistry lab is shown in the first picture below. Of course, we'll be doing this at home without access to fancy science gadgets.
For this catnip extraction, I've constructed a much simplified apparatus shown in the second picture. The catnip and water goes in the bottom of a big pot, with a cup placed on top. The lid is really the key component here; by simply turning the lid of the pot upside down, the vapors will condense and drip down from the center, collecting in the cup below. By filling the top of the lid with ice water, the vapors are condensed very efficiently.
I'm performing this instructable in steps and have completed the first few distillation portions. The leftover mush apparently has some active catnip going for it. I dumped it outside under my motion-detection camera and have a number of recordings of the neighborhood cats exploring the remains. Some simply sniff it and depart, while others will spread out completely in the three small piles of mush. A few roll around in it as well.
A well written instructable.
In step 8, you suggest "add a large quantity of salt (about 1 cup) to the water" while in step 11 using magnesium sulfate as an alternative to ordinary salt. Is it also preferred to use magnesium sulfate in step 8?
I do love your sense of humor, but I have to mention in the interest of public feline safety that I disagree with your use of toluene. I am not a chemist, however, and I cannot suggest a safer alternative. I do want your readers to be aware however that not everyone agrees with you on the safety of toluene. I offer a counterpoint:
this is a safe way to do it the glass should be cold as the water starts to boil, and kept cold. i agree that filling a hot lid with cold water is asking for trouble but if it starts cold and stays that way ( keep filling it with ice) it will be fine
That's science being used for utterly important purposes. :) Seriously, most nerdy/crazy scientist/resource overkill statement I heard the whole year (as if distilling catnip wasn't already overkill)
Btw, I would do the same if I had a mass spectometer laying around. I'm just envious. :]
This statement says to me that you aren't fully grasping how much fun you can have being entertained by super happy high cats. Twice as much diethyl ether would be worth half of the fun of seeing a cat fight his nemesis, a stuffed animal from a claw machine...
But seriously, cats love this stuff...
"Homeopathic" is an unregulated term in the U.S.
At best it means the "active" substance in solution/pill/whatever has simply been diluted down to pure water, sugar, or, well, sugar-water. At worst it's just a marketing term to hook "natural medicine" adherents into purchasing the product (c.f. Zicam).
In the UK, where homeopathy has seen widespread support over the years, the British Medical Association condemned it as "witchcraft;" the The House of Commons Science and Technology Committee recently released a report concluding that homeopathy is nothing more than a placebo and furthermore that, "The Government should stop allowing the funding of homeopathy on the NHS;" and even more recently, the BMA is calling for an outright ban on the sale of homeopathic "treatments."
Just an FYI.
In homeopathy's corner, we have:
1. No conceivable plausible mechanism of action.
2. No studies whatsoever showing any statistically significant efficacy.
3. A simple syllogistic contradiction in its very principles (i.e. dilution and the Earth's water cycle, etc.).
There "may or may not" be a tiny teapot, orbiting an icy planet in a distant galaxy, so far away that our most powerful telescopes cannot detect it. Why should I care?
The scientific method tells us that the burden of proof rests squarely with the The Tiny Teapot believers.
You wrote, "...Theories and things once thought to be fact (as proven by science) are being effectively disproved on a daily basis."
The scientific method yields no thing called "fact." Hypotheses are tested, tests are repeated, and after some variable period of time, certain principles get promoted to the status of "theory," or even "law." But NEVER fact.
Science is self-correcting by design. And just as any naturalist or biologist would LOVE to see actual evidence of Bigfoot, imagine the glory of the chemist who's finally able to re-write the book on homeopathy?
Furthermore, promoting magical thinking and pseudoscience, no matter how innocent it seems, causes harm.
Homeopathy kills.
I am 95% in agreement with your statement above, but the final site you mention, while justly pointing out certain egregious cases, feels to me as if it indulges in a certain amount of faulty generalization. While i find myself DEEPLY skeptical about homeopathy (and a number of other 'alternative' methodologies), i feel i should point out the following for consideration...
1) Some alternative medical methods and various traditional medicines HAVE been subjected to clinical tests, and have done quite well.
2) One should perhaps be reluctant to create categories where none exist naturally, for example, generalizing alternative treatments negatively may be analogous to the U. S. govt.'s approach to drug and alcohol legality.
3) in short, good science should carefully avoid 'throwing the baby out with the bath water'.
That said, BRAVO! for what you wrote, it needs to be said.
that being said, natural medicine, on the whole, is not hocus pocus. it is legitimate and is frequently a source for modern "traditional" medicine. this is often denied and vehemently denounced by the pharmaceutical companies and their pet politicians.
i am not opposed to the use of modern medicines, but much prefer natural alternatives when they are available and proven as effective.
whether you are using natural or traditional medicine you should always get a second opinion, and always be cautious of "the newest thing". medicine is a source of scam, from "big pharma" to the traveling snake-oil salesman. from the doctor who gets his free lunches from the pfizer rep to the patented, cures-everything, all-natural, drug-free, remedies advertised by your favorite radio host.
sick people are viewed by these swindlers as desperate and therefore easy targets. often this view is accurate, making medicine a VERY lucrative business.
> pocus. it is legitimate and is frequently a source for modern
> "traditional" medicine. this is often denied and vehemently
> denounced by the pharmaceutical companies and their pet
> politicians.
1. The great majority of so-called "natural medicine" is, in fact, bunk. Otherwise it would be efficiently extracted or synthesized and turned into ACTUAL MEDICINE. C.f. aspirin and countless other examples.
2. Who do you thin owns all of these dubious companies we refer to as purveyors of "natural medicine?" Do some digging and get get back to us. :-)
2. i don't often go for pre-packaged "natural remedies". i research the symptoms or illnesses i wish to treat and then i usually pick my own plants or select whole herbs from herbalists. if one of the "purveyors" of an ingredient i wish to obtain happens to be owned by a big pharma company, all well, at least i know what's going in my body, why, and what to expect from it.

Bring Christina Home
Over the past 3 years that I have lived here in Monroe, I have made many friends and forged strong relationships with the teachers. I was part of my church youth group, pta basketball, rec softball, women's choir, and other activities where I met many people. I am a very easy person to get along with and was loved by my friends. Unfortunately, my father thought it would be best if I moved TWO HOURS AWAY from Monroe and everything I held near and dear to my heart. I miss Monroe in general and DID NOT want to leave.I love the family I am staying with but everything I know and love is in Monroe. I'm sure many of you share the same opinion so if you could just sign this petition to help persuade my dad to bring me home where I belong.

When it connects and retrieves unattended I want it to disconnect and have chosen that option. But at times I am using net for other things and want to retrieve prices. Even if I had an Edit option to retrieve without Disconnect would be good. Not a major problem, just a nice to have. Thanks

Both teams had their chances, both teams had a valid penalty claim (for Michu and Dzeko respectively) denied. If Man City are to try and compete in the top half of the table for next season, they're going to have to learn to win these sorts of games.
C'mon Man City you've gotta put up a better fught than that if u wanna retain the title.... Oh wait. lol

National Research Council
The National Academy of Sciences is a private, nonprofit, self-perpetuating society
of distinguished scholars engaged in scientific and engineering research, dedicated to
the furtherance of science and technology and to their use for the general welfare.
Upon the authority of the charter granted to it by the Congress in 1863, the Academy
has a mandate that requires it to advise the federal government on scientific and
technical matters. Dr. Bruce M. Alberts is president of the National Academy of
The National Academy of Engineering was established in 1964, under the charter
of the National Academy of Sciences, as a parallel organization of outstanding engi-
neers. It is autonomous in its administration and in the selection of its members,
sharing with the National Academy of Sciences the responsibility for advising the
federal government. The National Academy of Engineering also sponsors engineer-
ing programs aimed at meeting national needs, encourages education and research,
and recognizes the superior achievements of engineers. Dr. Wm. A. Wulf is presi-
dent of the National Academy of Engineering.
The Institute of Medicine was established in 1970 by the National Academy of
Sciences to secure the services of eminent members of appropriate professions in the
examination of policy matters pertaining to the health of the public. The Institute
acts under the responsibility given to the National Academy of Sciences by its con-
gressional charter to be an adviser to the federal government and, upon its own
initiative, to identify issues of medical care, research, and education. Dr. Kenneth I.
Shine is president of the Institute of Medicine.
The National Research Council was organized by the National Academy of Sci-
ences in 1916 to associate the broad community of science and technology with the
Academy's purposes of furthering knowledge and advising the federal government.
Functioning in accordance with general policies determined by the Academy, the
Council has become the principal operating agency of both the National Academy of
Sciences and the National Academy of Engineering in providing services to the
government, the public, and the scientific and engineering communities. The Coun-
cil is administered jointly by both Academies and the Institute of Medicine. Dr.
Bruce M. Alberts and Dr. Wm. A. Wulf are chairman and vice chairman, respec-
tively, of the National Research Council.

Americans have witnessed and participated in an extraordinary
decade of economic volatility and educational reform. The National
Academy of Sciences, through its Center for Education in its Division
of Behavioral and Social Sciences and Education of the National
Research Council (NRC), recognized this tumult. It responded by
appointing the Committee on the Impact of the Changing Economy
on the Education System in fall 2000. The committee's charge was
to organize a workshop, held in May 2001, to explore how the various
participants in the postsecondary sector were or were not changing
their practices. Funding was provided by the National Science Foundation.
An underlying assumption of the workshop, albeit one that several
participants debated, was that the economy was a powerful force
influencing postsecondary education. As the indicators of U.S. eco-
nomic vitality have altered during the preparation of this document,
we have maintained our focus upon the postsecondary system itself,
rather than attempt to explain the manner in which the U.S. economy
influences higher education. That important and challenging issue
we commend to another National Academy of Sciences group.
This report is the result of the committee's deliberations, the dis-
cussions at the workshop, and most importantly, the papers prepared
for the workshop, which form the body of this document. Such work
is inevitably collaborative, and the committee is deeply indebted and
appreciative of the participation of the authors and attendees at the
workshop. We are also very grateful for the reviewers' comments on
our draft document. Finally, we especially thank Nevzer Stacey, our
program officer at the National Academy of Sciences, and her colleagues,
Linda DePugh and Margaret Hilton, for their attentiveness, incisive
observations, and support. Michael Feuer, director of the Center for
Education, gave us our initial charge, and we believe that this report
helps to advance understanding of the dynamics of today' s postsecondary

I received my training in phonics through the Adult Literacy Center in North Carolina. For three years I have worked with numerous adults learning to read and write English. Phonics plays a key role as it helps students map sounds onto spellings, enabling them to decode words.

I received my training in ESL/ESOL through the Adult Literacy Center in North Carolina. For four years I have worked with numerous adults from Japan learning English as their second language for the purposes of understanding and speaking English, as well as assisting them in their studies for GED and general collegiate learning.
Pronunciation of certain sounds and letters can be a daunting task when trying to speak a non-native language. My training in phonics (through the North Carolina Adult Literacy Center) which includes proper tounge placement, force of air and width of mouth opening, has been crucial in allowing non-native, English speakers to pronounce English words in a clearer, understandable fashion.

La Belle and Fort St. Louis Excavations
The Texas Historical Commission (THC) excavated two of Texas' most important archeological sites relating to the famous French explorer Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle, who in 1684 led an ill-fated expedition to establish a French colony on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico.
First was the excavation in 1996-97 of La Salle's ill-fated ship La Belle that sank in Matagorda Bay in 1686. La Belle is one of the most important shipwrecks ever discovered in North America. The excavation, conducted in a cofferdam, produced an amazing array of finds, including the hull of the ship, three bronze cannons, thousands of glass beads, bronze hawk bells, pottery and even the skeleton of a crew member. The nearly two million artifacts represent an unparalleled glimpse into the supplies for a 17th-century European colony in the New World.
Following the excavation of La Belle, from 1999 to 2002 THC archeologists excavated Fort St. Louis, the settlement La Salle and his colonists established on Garcitas Creek in 1685. From some 150 original inhabitants, the group dwindled to about 40 by January 1687, when La Salle tried, along with 17 of the fort's able-bodied men, to hike to distant French forts in the Great Lakes region. About 20 people, including women and children, eked out an existence at the fort until it was attacked by Karankawa Indians in the winter of 1688-89. The Spanish visited the ravaged fort in 1689, and in 1722 a presidio was established directly over it. Texas Historical Commission archeologists have made a number of exciting discoveries and unearthed tens of thousands of artifacts, including cannons, musket balls, gunflints, pottery, coins and many other items used by the colonists.
Artifacts from the excavations can currently be seen at the Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum in Austin and in seven museums in six Texas coastal counties that banded together to create the La Salle Odyssey - a series of exhibits that together tell the extraordinary story of La Salle's expedition and the THC excavations. With the conservation of the hull nearing completion, the La Belle will embark on a final voyage to the atrium of the Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum where the public will be able to watch the gradual installation of the hull beginning in November 2013. This will coincide with the opening of a new 5000 square foot temporary exhibit on the ship, the excavations, and conservation. Once the hull reconstruction is finished in summer of 2014, the installation of the museum's new cutting edge La Belle exhibit will begin and the temporary exhibit will travel to select locations in the United States and France.
Check back for more details!
The Center for French Colonial Studies 2013 Annual Meeting will be held in Austin, Texas at the Bullock Texas State History Museum on November 22-24, 2013. This year's conference theme is The Lasting Legacy of René Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle from the St. Lawrence River Valley to the Gulf of Mexico and it begins with a special, behind-the-scenes tour of La Belle shipwreck artifacts on Friday afternoon. A host of experts in the field of French Colonial studies will be presenting the latest discoveries relating to the impacts of La Salle's New World explorations. The conference concludes on Sunday with a tour of the French Legation. The public is invited to participate in this rare opportunity.

Gs3 problems
When I first got this phone I loved it but now I am having some consistent problems:
1. Not receiving calls even when I have at least 3 signal bars. My wife will call several times and it goes to VM after two rings on her end. This is also occurring on her Gs3 as well. This did not happen on our Charges.
2. Many of my texts fail to send even when there appears to be ample signal strength.
3. The latest problem which started yesterday is when surfing the web the browser closes and it takes me back to the home screen.
Any clue as to what the deal is? Verizon... Phone... Both? Starting to get annoying. Thanks for any input.

Re: Gs3 problems
I would try a factory reset or getting a replacement phone. My web browser closes on its own some times it maybe the web site that the browser doesn't like or it can't handle. For the texting problem you have to have a data connection to send texts. On rare occasions my phone won't ring but I will get a voicemail notification but I resolved that my putting my phone in a different spot in my house when I am home and that has seems to have solved it. Also what kind of case are you using on your phone? If it has metal in it or a magnet it will mess with your GS3. I had to switch from the seidio active case with kickstand to the same case without the metal kickstand that uses a magnet to hold the kickstand in. And that solved the signal issue and phone call issue.

Re: Gs3 problems
I only have a plastic case on the phone... No metal.
Wouldn't you figure with three bars I should have no issues with receiving calls and sending texts? I experience the same thing as you with all of a sudden having a vm when i had no incoming calls. You figure this phone would have a better radio then the DROID charge.
I guess I can try chrome but many of the reviewers ended up going back to stock browser.

Re: Gs3 problems
Ive recently been having that browser problem you describe. No idea what the problem is as ive used it for a couple months with no problems. Then all of a sudden its force closing on sites ive had no problems with. I found that checking the "desktop view" option seems to allow the browser to work as normal. Can you try that and let me know how it goes for you? Also, what baseband version are you on?
I started a thread about this in the regular S3 section to hopefully get some help. - 12-03-2012, 07:46 AM #8
Re: Gs3 problems
Numbers 1 and 2 sound like the dreaded "No SIM" error (example here). For what it's worth, I got this a lot when I first got my phone, but haven't had it happen in a few months now. Some say that the issue was related to Verizon's towers and not necessarily the phone, although it was only S3 owners that were being affected. Since I rooted and upgraded to Clean Rom (with the latest radios), I haven't had any issues, but it could also be that Verizon has since updated their towers near me as well...who knows?

Rodan + Fields Enhancements Micro-Dermabrasion Paste Reviews
Leaves skin soft and bright!
I usually make my own sugar scrubs to use on my face, because I typically don't like salt scrubs or the way the combination skin on my face feels after using store-bought scrubs. I received samples of this product at a friends product party, and decided to give it a try. The sugar-and-salt combination was not overly abrasive on my skin (something I usually find with salt scrubs), and the salt and ...read moresugar particles dissolved nicely while scrubbing this product into my skin. Any oils left on my skin were quickly absorbed. and didn't leave my skin overly oily throughout the day. The only downside to this product is the smell isn't too great. Not terribly bad, but not sweet either. — 12 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful
The ultimate!
I LOVE this micro-dermabrasion product! It's a must with your skin regimen 3x weekly in place of your usual cleanser. I have never ever experienced anything that had a better feeling after exfoliating. lovemyskinnow.com — 1 year, 8 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 5 of 6 people said helpful

Thanks,none of the RPO codes match up with the tank sizes. The choices when ordering a fuel pump for a 91 v2500 are 31 gal. and 40 gal. I would think the default on a heavy duty rig would be the 40 gal but I want to be sure. Owners manual only mentions that there are two different sizes. Did confirm I had the 4L80E tranny. That made my day.
- - - Updated - - -
Used the measurements from LMC. 35x28x13. Its a 40 gal. tank.Thanks for your help.
07-19-2013, 05:48 PM #6I suspect the 31 gal tank is "standard" and the 40 gal is an optional tank. If so, there should be an RPO code on the glove box sticker (if the 40 gal was installed at the factory). The RPO for a 40 gal tank is: NE2

She had a small role in the Coen brothers' Miller's Crossing (1990) and a featured role alongside Tim Robbins in the ensemble film Short Cuts (1993), directed by Robert Altman.
Several of her films were critical and commercial disappointments, including Darkman (1990), starring Liam Neeson, The Butcher's Wife (1991),
starring Demi Moore, and Beyond Rangoon (1995), starring Patricia Arquette. She made several acclaimed TV movies, including Crazy in Love (1992), costarring Holly Hunter, and actor Tommy Lee Jones' directorial debut, The Good Old Boys (1995).
Acting Triumphs
McDormand won virtually every available critical prize, including an Oscar for Best Actress, for her dead-on, hilarious turn as Marge Gunderson, a pregnant Minnesota policewoman who cracks a decidedly twisted set of crimes in Fargo (1996), written by Joel and Ethan Coen and directed by Joel Coen. Using a perfect Minnesotan accent—complete with countless "yahs" and "you betchas"—and sporting a huge prosthetic belly, McDormand truly seemed to become Marge, underscoring her unmatched ability as a character actress. That same year, she turned in similarly deft characterizations in John Sayles' low-budget Western Lone Star, and the thriller Primal Fear as a psychiatrist studying a young murder suspect, played by Edward Norton (the film also featured Richard Gere and Laura Linney).
In the months following her triumph at the Oscars, McDormand costarred with Glenn Close in the World War II-era drama Paradise Road (1997), directed by Bruce Beresford, and in the little-seen independent film Talk of Angels (1998). She also played the schoolmistress Miss Clavel in the big screen version of the classic children's book Madeline (1998).
With a pair of skillful supporting performances in 2000, McDormand again generated serious Oscar buzz. The real problem for awards night prophets was choosing between her disapproving mother of budding rock journalist William Miller (Patrick Fugit) in Almost Famous and her married college chancellor in love with rumpled novelist Grady Tripp (Michael Douglas) in Wonder Boys.
In the end, it was her role in Almost Famous, writer-director Cameron Crowe's autobiographical ode to 1970s rock & roll, that earned McDormand her third Oscar nod, for Best Supporting Actress. She shared that distinction with her costar, Kate Hudson, who played the groupie who captures William's heart. McDormand also had a special bond with another of her costars in the film, Billy Crudup, with whom she starred in a 1998 stage adaptation of Oedipus.
In 2001, McDormand costars in the Coen brothers' The Man Who Wasn't There, opposite Billy Bob Thornton and James Gandolfini.
