The Iron Lady"Watch your thoughts for they become words. Watch your words for they become actions. Watch your actions for they become habits. Watch your habits for they become your character. And watch your character for it becomes your destiny!"I'm ashamed to admit that before seeing The Iron Lady, I didn't know much about Margaret Thatcher. And as a woman who is passionate about shattering a glass ceiling that still persists and redefining gender roles that are ever-present even today, it's even more of a disgrace I didn't have her on my list of heroes. So what a benefit to myself and so many others that the movie was made. What a fascinating person! I thought using flash backs and flash forwards was a smart artistic choice. It was an intimate way of allowing the audience to understand each facet of her life and how they were all connected. However, I felt they spent too much time highlighting her today as an old woman at her weakest point. I would have liked to see more of her young life and her rise to becoming the first and only female Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. Although I can appreciate what they were trying to do-- giving an authentic glimpse into her life without any sugar coating-- I think the extent of her accomplishments in just one lifetime is more than enough reason to make this more of a tribute film instead. She deserves to be known and remembered for her successes rather than her current battle with dementia. |

Setting up a featherboard has never been so easy. Just hold the Grip-Tite Magnetic Featherboard next to your workpiece and drop it into place-the super strong magnets cling tenaciously to any ferrous metal table or fence. Grip-Tite featherboard applies both downward and sideways pressure, keeping your hands out of the danger zone and reducing the risk of kickback. To remove, simply flip the cam lever and it pops right off. No tools-no hassle. Sold singly.
Technical Details:
Technical Details:
- Super strong permanent magnets are guaranteed by the manufacturer not to lose their power.
- Feather board features 100 percent tool-free adjustments.

Posted September 29, 2013
I have been using these feather boards for five years. They are strong enough to hold my boards against the fence. They are convenient enough that I use them for nearly all my cuts. Very infrequently, the feather board will line up on the t-slot on my saw table! when this happens, I use a second magnetic feather board set perpendicular to the first one to hold it in place. I saw comments from others that the magnets are not strong enough-I find the magnets are plenty strong for my use and I have cut at 50,000 board feet of lumber on my saw from 3/4 inch to 1 1/2 inches thick. I can remove the feather boards with a strong rotation of my hand or by swinging my hand into the handle of the feather board. I use the "flipper" behind the handle infrequently but it is nice to have when I don't feel like manhandling the feather board. I also use two feather boards when I am cutting a dado into short pieces of small lumber! one on the in-feed side of the saw blade and one on the out-feed side of the saw blade. Having two of these feather boards is really nice. I like the fact that my feather board is between my hand and the saw blade thus preventing me from inadvertently putting my hand into the saw blade. As both a safety measure and a tool to improve my cuts, I could not be happier with this tool. My friends have bought these after seeing mine in use and they are happy, too.

Posted November 7, 2012
I nearly killed myself with a kickedback board, was not using the saw safety stuff. I bought these and they work just fine for my purposes. It may not be perfect but I use them, they are quick and convenient. A safety item not used is no good, these are good because I use them. Kickback on a table saw is for real. Don't run without some kind of holddown!

Posted December 19, 2011
I've bought two of these a while back but don't use them too much. They can be very handy depending on you're application. I find that the internal magnet is not as strong as I expected. If I butt the Grip-Tite tight against the material I'm ripping, the material tends to slide the Grip-Tite over as I'm cutting. I usually grab the Rockler Featherboards instead to keep the material pushed tight against the fence. I tried using the Grip-Tite on a Jointer too but had the same problem, magnet won't hold securely in place.

Posted March 3, 2010
A Must Have for the Wood Shop. Here is a featherboard that's effective, economical and a pleasure to use. Before buying one, I only had read reviews and comments. Now I have two of them. The clever design really allows one tool to serve as two conventional featherboards--one to hold the workpiece down; the other to keep it snug to the fence. They are indispensible when using the table saw or the bandsaw. A great investment in time-saving and in safety.

Posted January 31, 2010
An extreamly fast and rapidly adjustable support to hold the material down and against the fence. It can handle up to boards up to a weight of about 10 pounds. As this makes up the majority of my work I rarely got out my miter track featherboards any more.

With icy cold weather comes slippery road conditions, which caused several crashes around Monroe county Saturday morning.
One crash was on Route 390 near Rush West Road. Sheriff's deputies say an SUV heading southbound on Route 390 hit some black ice on the bridge and slid off into a ditch.
The driver was trapped in the car for a bit before firefighters were able to get him out.
He was taken to Strong Hospital with what are considered to be non-life threatening injuries.
Officials remind drivers to be extra cautious on the roads as the winter weather begins.

A Queens victim of domestic violence is calling for her attacker to turn himself in.
Jennifer Altman, 26, has more than 2,000 stitches on her body and 700 in her face.
Speaking to reporters Wednesday in the East New York section of Brooklyn, Altman said she was stabbed on Friday by her 23-year-old husband, Dartanyan Kingsberry, after telling him she wanted a divorce.
"He slashed me seven times all over my body and just left me there to die," she said. "I just want to say to him, if you are watching this, if you are watching this, please, please turn yourself in because I don't want something worse to happen to you on these streets. As much as you have hurt me, please turn yourself in, because that is the best thing for you to do right now."
Police say he is wanted on charges of attempted murder.
Kingsberry is described as being 6-feet tall in hall and 180 pounds, with brown eyes and brown hair.
Anyone with information on the case should contact the Crime Stoppers hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS, or text CRIMES and then enter TIP577, or visit www.nypdcrimestoppers.com.

UGM-133 Trident II, or Trident D5 is a submarine-launched ballistic missile, built by Lockheed Martin Space Systems in Sunnyvale, California, and deployed with the US and Royal Navies. It was first deployed in 1990, and is still in service.
Trident II was designed to be more sophisticated than Trident I (retired in 2005[1]), and have a greater range and payload capacity. It is accurate enough to be used as a first strike weapon. All three stages of the Trident II are made of graphite epoxy, making the missile much lighter than its predecessor. Trident II missiles are carried by US Ohio and British Vanguard-class submarines. USS Tennessee (SSBN-734) was the first submarine to be armed with Trident IIs. Trident II missiles are currently carried by fourteen Ohio class and four Vanguard class SSBNs, with 24 missiles on each Ohio class and 16 missiles on each Vanguard class. The four oldest Ohio class submarines were withdrawn from the strategic role and converted to SSGNs beginning in 2002, capable of firing up to 154 Tomahawk missiles each and supporting SEAL operations. There have been 148 successful test flights [2] of the D5 missile since 1989, with the most recent being from an Ohio-class submarine in September 2013.
The development contract for Trident II was issued in October 1983. The first Trident II launch occurred in January 1987, and the first submarine launch was attempted by Tennessee, the first D-5 ship of the Ohio class, in March 1989. The launch attempt failed because the plume of water following the missile rose to greater height than expected, resulting in water being in the nozzle when the motor ignited. Once the problem was understood relatively simple changes were very quickly made but the problem delayed the Initial Operational Capability (IOC) of Trident II until March 1990.[3]
It is estimated that 540 missiles will be built by 2013. The Trident D5LE (life-extension) version will remain in service until 2042.[4]
- Purpose: Strategic Nuclear Deterrence
- Unit Cost: US$ 30.9 million
- Range: Varies, with full load 7,840 kilometres (4,230 nmi), with reduced load estimated 11,300 kilometres (6,100 nmi)
- Maximum speed: > 6,000 metres per second (22,000 km/h; 13,000 mph).[3]
- Guidance system: Inertial, with Star-sighting; GPS experiments done but not deployed.
- CEP: Requirement: 90–120 metres (300–390 ft).[3] That demonstrated by flight tests is classified, but rumored to be significantly better.
- Warhead (in USA usage only): nuclear MIRV up to eight W88 (475 kt) warheads (Mark 5) or eight W76 (100 kt) warheads (Mark 4). The Trident II can carry up to 14 MIRV warheads[5][6] but START I reduces this to eight and SORT reduces this yet further to four or five. New START provides for further reductions in deployed launch vehicles, limiting the number of Submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBM) to 288, and the number of deployed SLBM warheads to a total of 1,152.

[more ▼] Background: Cryopreservation of cortex ovarian tissue before anti-cancer therapy is a promising technique for fertility preservation mainly in children and young women. Ischemia in the early stage after ovarian graft causes massive follicle loss by apoptosis. VEGF111 is a recently described VEGF isoform that does not bind to the extracellular matrix, diffuse extensively and is resistant to proteolysis. These properties confer a significantly higher angiogenic potential to VEGF111 in comparison to the other VEGF isoforms. Methods: We evaluated the morphology of cryopreserved sheep ovarian cortex, grafted in the presence or absence of VEGF111. Ovarian cortex biopsies were embedded in type I collagen with or without VEGF111 addition before transplantation to SCID mice ovaries. Transplants were retrieved 3 days or 3 weeks later. Follicular density, vasculature network, haemoglobin content and cell proliferation were analysed. Results: Addition of VEGF111 increased density of functional capillaries (p=0.01) 3 days after grafting. By double immunostaining of Ki-67 and von Willebrand Factor (vWF) we demonstrated that proliferating endothelial cells were found in 83% of the VEGF111 group when compared to 33% in the control group (p=0.001). This angio-stimulation was associated with a significant enhancement of haemoglobin content (p=0.03). Three weeks after transplantation, the number of primary follicles was significantly higher in VEGF111 grafts (p=0.02). Conclusion: VEGF111 accelerates blood vessels recruitment, functional angiogenesis and improves the viability of ovarian cortex by limiting ischemia and ovarian cortex damage.

AwesomeMusic Characters FanficRecs Franchise Fridge Funny Haiku Headscratchers Heartwarming Laconic Main NightmareFuel Quotes Recap ReferencedBy Trivia WMG WebAnimation WebOriginal YMMV main index Narrative
"If I had to pick one word to describe myself, it would be... Fluffy Puff Marshmallows. Or Homestar. Either one, really. They both fit!" — Homestar Runner, being himself "Don't forget [chosen at random] doofus/moron/...er ...Lionel Richie!" Homestar Runner, the namesake series of the Homestar Runner family, is a comedic and surreal web-based Flash cartoon by two guys from the state of Georgia, Mike and Matt Chapman ("The Brothers Chaps"). Starting as a dead-tree children's picture book, The Homestar Runner Enters the Strongest Man in the World Contest, it eventually found its way to the internet and spread through word of mouth.The main character is the eponymous Homestar Runner, a goodhearted athlete with no arms and no clue. However, Strong Bad, a narcissistic, loudmouthed "wrestleman" with a Luchador mask for a face and boxing gloves for hands, seems to have exceeded the titular character in popularity. Along with his pint-sized lackey The Cheat and hulking brute older brother Strong Mad, Strong Bad constantly pushes everybody around, especially his gray, depressed younger brother Strong Sad. Other characters include Homestar's on-and-off hippie girlfriend Marzipan, Homestar's best friend and straight man Pom Pom, the verbally challenged and slightly creepy Coach Z, greedy concession stand owner Bubs, the ever-hungry King of Town, and the Poopsmith. And to round out this wacky cast, we also have Homsar, an odd-speaking midget who seems to be able to openly defy physics. Over the years, the series has come to include many recurring and minor characters, many of which simply debuted as one-off jokes.The most popular part of the site is the Strong Bad Emails (aka "sbemails"), where Strong Bad responds to viewers' questions and suggestions, such as "Why don't you creat a montage?", "What would you do different, if you could do it all over again?", and the ever-popular "How do you type with boxing gloves on?" This usually involves mocking the sender's spelling and grammar mistakes (in fact, the character of Homsar was actually created this way), and quite often not actually answering the question.Other features on the site include Teen Girl Squad, a comic about shallow teenage girls dying in improbable and hilarious ways, which is written, drawn and narrated by Strong Bad; Old-Timey Homestar, what Homestar Runner would be like if it was made in the 1930s; and the Cheat Commandos, a parody of Merchandise-Driven shows in general and G.I. Joe in specific. The Brothers Chaps have also collaborated with They Might Be Giants a few times. A series of episodic point-and-click adventure games by Telltale Games, Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People (or SBCG4AP), was released for PC and WiiWare between August and December of 2008, and later ported to Playstation Network in 2010.Most episodes include Easter Eggs, accessible by clicking on the right part of the screen at the right time.Thanks to The Wiki Rule and to its Internet longevity, a disturbingly comprehensive wiki has been built up by fans over the years, seen here.Since the birth of Matt Chapman's second child in November 2009, the site's flow of new content has trickled to a halt. However, in late 2011, Matt confirmed via his Twitter page that the series has not been cancelled and that future updates are coming "sporadically and without warning" (and went so far to say that nobody in their right mind would voluntarily quit making Homestar Runner altogether). The Brothers Chaps have worked on other projects, including the game Poker Night at the Inventory, in which Strong Bad meets up with Tycho (Penny Arcade), Max (Sam & Max: Freelance Police), and the Heavy (Team Fortress 2), during the hiatus. More recently, Matt has become a writer and director for Nick Jr's Yo Gabba Gabba, The Hub's The Aquabats! Super Show! and Disney's Gravity Falls. Matt Chapman posted the beginning of the script for Sbemail 206, which has been inactive since the start of the hiatus, stating "Someday, when you least expect it" confirming the site ain't dead. (Then again, it's been more than two years since he posted that message.)One of the Brothers chaps' Nieces, Astrid Renee, known to fans of the site as "Little girl" from the puppet shorts, has shed some information of the Brothers whereabouts. It turns out, Matt Chapman is no longer in Georgia and is actually working in Los Angeles in regards to the aforementioned shows stated up above. Mike Chapman however, remains in Georgia, raising his children, not much else is currently known about him.If you find the speech hard to understand, the wiki has subtitled versions of most toonsVote for the best 'toon (including sbemails) here!There is currently a page recapping the series.Also, for Strong Bad Email only tropes, see Strong Bad Email.— Strong Bad, being himself open/close all folders General Tropes about the Homestar Runner Universe

Really? Just like the 1933 St. Gaudens $20 gold piece that never existed.
Steve says:
Well if some went to the "Assay office" and were indeed "sent to Washington" you can bet your bottom dollar that at least one and maybe a few still exist out there. Problem is whoever has them can't reveal that they are.
Leo says:
What about the ones that were sent to Washington, that triggered the phone call to Denver to stop production? Where did those end up?
dean parrish says:
Im sure that their are some out their but their be like the 1933 20 dollar gold peice in 80 years or so some will surfice and mabe come up for auction and will sell for millions.
Jonny says:
yes, I'm sure eventually they will surface. and then, just like the 1933 double eagle, the government will seize them.

You can turn the 800 into a 1.4 by drilling a second hole. The biggest problem was often the reason they were formatted to 800kb is because at 1.4 they had sector errors. Going for 1.4 to 800kb (or 720k on a PC) was entirely software dependent. I believe DOS used to let you do it without doing anything special. To do the same on a Mac, you had to cover up the second hole with some tape. I had to do this all the time when the number of disks I owned was limited and the different computers I had access to contained different capacity drives. |

I'm on OSX Lion with a working Floppy USB unit and brand new 3 1/2 disks, trying to install OS 7.0.1 on a Macintosh Classic with a new drive (no current installed OS).
I ran the following command on terminal: dd if=~/OS7/os-6-1.img of=/dev/disk1 bs=84 skip=1 It completes succesfully, but then I encounter the following problems: 1) If I try to re-mount on Disk Utility, it returns an error message saying it cannot be mounted. 2) If I eject it after the terminal command, it says I have to initialize it, because it's not formatted (??) 3) If I start my Macintosh Classic with it, it ejects it and doesn't recognize it as an installation disk. Any ideas? Thanks! Luis |

Thank you for taking a look at my site. You mentioned that I should either give you the FTP account OR try to fix it myself. I am worried about messing something up. Is it ok if I give you the FTP account? I sent you the details.
A little worried about messing things up. But if this is too much trouble, no worries, I will try to figure it out. When you say that I need to reload wp-admin and wp-includes, can I do that by merely going to the dashboard and choosing to reinstall wordpress?
Posted 16 February 2013 - 04:39 PM
Clicking reset to default layout button fixed it. I had to deactivate plugins etc, so some things may need re-adjusting.

Pittsburgh Steelers: Where It All Went Wrong in 2012
By Todd Pataky ,
Here's the thing: The Steelers have all the talent they need to win a Super Bowl. It's true. They have the franchise quarterback (Ben Roethlisberger) who is capable of leading the team to wins whether he has to bring them from behind or having the luxury of playing with a lead.
They have a solid, if understated, group of running backs who represent both the slashing, speed rush of new age football (Rashard Mendenhall) and the raw power of running games of yesteryear (Jonathan Dwyer, Isaac Redman).
Their receiving corps features the heir-apparent to future Hall-of-Famer Hines Ward as the sure-handed possession receiver (Antonio Brown), and one of the fastest men in football (Mike Wallace). Plus, they have a several role-players to complement their Pro Bowl tight end (Heath Miller).
On the defensive side of the ball, they have two former Defensive Players of the Year in James Harrison and Troy Polamalu. And up-and-coming players like Lawrence Timmons, LaMarr Woodley, Brett Keisel, Ryan Clark, Will Allen, and Cortez Allen.
So, how did it all go wrong in 2012? In a year that will see no better than an 11-5 team win the division (with the division locked up before the Ravens even played last week), this team should have been able to at least host a playoff game, if not make a serious run at a seventh Lombardi Trophy.
Like most things in football, the answer is both complicated and simple.
There are, supposedly, three rules to success in the NFL.
The first is that you must win your home games.
The Steelers have been having a tough time winning in the friendly confines of Heinz Field this year.
Don't get me wrong. Heinz Field was never going to be confused with places like Seattle and Denver for home field advantage, but within their own division, the Baltimore Ravens recently put together a streak of nearly two years without losing at home.
The Steelers are 4-3 at home this year with a game still to be played. And with nothing to play for but pride, there is nothing saying the Steelers will even win this week against the Browns.
The point is, if you want to be regarded as one of the best teams in the NFL, you have to make other teams afraid of playing in your building.
The only team that seems to have trouble winning at Heinz Field is the Steelers.
The second rule of success in the NFL is winning in your division. You have to beat the teams in your division to get a division title.
While the AFC North is not quite as competitive as it was in some past years, having the Ravens, Bengals, and Browns on your schedule is no longer considered easy.
The Ravens have won the division twice in a row. They have also appeared in the playoffs five years running. No other team in football can say that right now.
The Bengals are coming along with a franchise quarterback and an excellent defense.
And the Browns proved earlier in the year that they can do what they have to do to win.
The best the Steelers can hope for this year is to split their division games, and they have looked every bit the part of the inferior team in a couple of their losses in the division.
That is far from good enough.
The Steelers lost games this year to the Raiders, Titans, Browns, and Chargers. The combined record of those four teams is 20-42. If not for a last second field goal against the Eagles (currently 4-11), and an overtime field goal against the Chiefs (2-13), it could be worse. (With the loss to the Chargers, the Steelers became the only AFC North team to have lost to the Chargers. They also were the only AFC North team not to win at least three games against the AFC West)
Good teams don't let bad teams hang around, and the Steelers have done far too much of that this year.
They often seem to play down to the level of their competition, while seemingly being unable to elevate their level of play when facing a good team. The only games they played this year in which they looked truly good were wins over the Giants and the Redskins. In other words, a team that probably will not be in the playoffs (and who recently got steamrolled by that Ravens), and a rookie quarterback.
There is no way that a team that thinks it has a real chance of winning the Super Bowl loses to a collection of teams whose combined winning percentage is under .500.
You can forgive one bad game. Maybe two.
But when the team is, time and again, losing to teams with no hope of making the playoffs, that team is clearly not one of the best.
Oddly enough, the Steelers are seventh in the league in penalties per game through 15 games. I would have thought that would be worse.
However, they are 26th in penalty yards per game.
The discipline of this team has been beyond bad. It has been laughable. How many drives stalled because of penalties? How many points left un-scored due to penalties? How many games lost?
Their last game was a microcosm of the trend this season, with penalties at the worst possible times, negating big plays or digging themselves into deeper holes than they were already in.
Let's have a look at the penalties in the Bengals game and see what effect they had.
- With the Bengals on their own 23, and facing a 3rd-and-13, Brett Keisel fought his way to QB Andy Dalton and took him down for a one yard loss. The problem was the unsportsmanlike conduct penalty Keisel took when he used his knee to do his signature arrow-shot celebration. (To be honest, I didn't know this was a penalty and couldn't believe it when it was called.) The result was a continuation of the drive for another seven plays. Cincy didn't score, but they very well could have.
- On 2nd-and-10 from their own 31, Jonathan Dwyer rumbled for 12 yards. The problem was that Heath Miller was called for holding, negating a big play. The Steelers would still drive the field and get into field goal range. But then they missed the field goal. (Obviously, I'm not saying Miller's penalty caused the missed field goal. The point is that the penalty negated a very good play.)
- 3rd-and-3 from their own nine, and Max Starks is called for false start. This pushes the Steelers out of a "managable" third down situation, forcing the Steelers to have to throw the ball. Two plays later, the Steelers punted and the Bengals took over in Steelers' territory.
- Ryan Clark delivered a nice stop on Benjarvus Green-Ellis for no gain on 3rd-and-1 from Cincy's 29. Casey Hampton was called for being offside and the drive continued.
These are representative of the bungling we have seen from the Steelers all year; an inability to get out of their own way.
I wrote at the time that the Raiders didn't beat the Steelers; that they beat themselves, and I was blasted for not giving credit where it was due. I'm afraid I stand by my words after watching the Steelers implode over the past seven weeks.
Most of the time this year, the Steelers beat themselves, and their lack of discipline was part of that.
If you thought 2011 was bad for the Steelers and turnovers, wait until you read this.
In 2011, the Steelers were tied for 27th in the league for turnover margin per game at -0.8. They had 1.8 giveaways per game against .09 takeaways per game.
In 2012, the Steelers are once again tied for 27th with a -0.9 turnover per game margin. They have given the ball away at a rate of 2.0 times per game this year and gotten only 1.1 takeaways per game.
And they still have to play the team that turned them over eight times a scant five weeks ago.
This team might be ranked as the best defense in the NFL in opponent yardage allowed, but they are not producing turnovers at a rate consistent with the best teams in the NFL. Of the teams in the bottom half of turnovers created, only four teams have winning records. (Two of those four have guys who are among the discussion for MVP: Minnesota with Adrian Peterson, and Indianapolis with Andrew Luck)
While the defense has played well, but has not been able to turn the ball over, the offense has been simply giving the ball away all year. And the trend seems to have gotten worse in the last third of the year.
Since the first Cleveland game, the Steelers have given the ball away 18 times. That's a horrid 3.6 giveaways per game! They have committed 30 turnovers all season, 60% of those have occurred in the last five games.
A strong case can be made that much of the Steelers' trouble comes from the little problem of ball security.
It might sound obvious, but the Steelers didn't score enough points this year. Let me try to explain why it isn't as simple as that.
The Steelers had the number two ranked offense in terms of time of possession and third down conversions. For a while, during their four-game winning streak, they were unstoppable on third down; the best in the NFL.
But they are only 15th in the NFL in red zone scoring attempts with 3.1 per game, and only scoring a touchdown from the red zone 1.6 times per game (17th in the league).
When we look at simple points per game, the Steelers score 20.8, good for 22nd in the league. Want to know how bad that is? Wait for it. No team ranked 19th or worse in points per game has a winning record.
In the modern game, where scoring points is easier than ever, the Steelers are just not doing it.
The Steelers are the number one defense in opponent yards per game, opponent offensive plays per game, and opponent first downs per game. They are sixth in opponent third down conversions per game, and seventh in opponent third down conversion percentage per game.
In other words, this defense is pretty good, right?
Not quite.
I've already mentioned they are 27th in turnovers created, but beyond that, they are only 10th in opponent points per game and an abysmal T26 in opponent yards per point. (Yards per point is a measure of how many yards an opponent has to gain for the points they score. The Steelers have 13.5 opponent yards per point.
Compare that to Baltimore with 16.9; Chicago with 18.3; or Atlanta, who is tops in this stat with 19.8. In other words, Atlanta's opponents have to gain 6.3 yards more for every point they've scored than Steelers' opponents.)
That being said, this last stat must be taken in context. If your offense is giving the other team the ball (like the Steelers' offense has, a lot), the opponent doesn't have to accumulate a lot of yardage to score.
So, while the defense played very well this year, except for the lack of turnovers, they were consistently put into bad spots by an offense that has given the ball away twice a game all year.

The layout "Hitch/Schmid/Stutz Safari 12" has been added. Play holes 1-9, followed by:
5B - turn left after hole 9 and walk along path about 100 feet. Tee off from path when the grill near the shelter is immediately on your left. Throw across lake to hole 5.
4B - Tee off from path immediately behind hole 5 to hole 4.
1B - Go up the walking path towards the baseball field. Halfway thru the woods, where the ground becomes more level, tee off to throw to basket 1 (along the walking path and cutting into the woods to the right).
Kevin Hitch August 25, 2011 at 4:25pm
I'm playing/cleaning course from about 6:15 to 7:30 most Tuesdays and Thursdays thru the end of September. Feel free to join me!
Also, if anyone wants to get together for cleanup/playing a round, I like Sunday mornings, the earlier the better...say 7:30 or 8am.

Wall of Sheep comes to Black Hat
LAS VEGAS--How confident are you when using your laptop at a conference?
For years, a group called Wall of Sheep has been showing attendees of Defcon when their network connections are insecure. The Wall of Sheep board has been a fixture at Defcon, Black Hat's sister conference set to begin tomorrow at the Riviera Hotel and Casino. The board displays the names (with some identifying information obscured) of those connecting to the Internet in insecure ways. The idea is both meant to shame and educate users on best practices.

ALSACE, FRANCE—In a necropolis containing 38 tombs that were used over a period of more than 4,000 years, archaeologist Philippe Lefranc uncovered the 1,650-year-old remains of a woman whose head had been flattened and deformed during childhood. "The deformation of the skull with the help of bandages (narrow strips of cloth) and small boards is a practice coming from central Asia. It was popularized by the Huns and adopted by many German people," he said. Such deformed skulls are usually seen in burials containing grave goods associated with the wealthy. This woman had been buried with gold pins, chatelaines, pearls, a comb made of a stag antler, and an imported bronze mirror.
PAMUKKALE, TURKEY—Two marble statues, one depicting the three-headed watchdog Cerberus, and the other a snake rolled onto itself, have been discovered by a team led by Francesco D'Andria of the University of Salento. These guardians of the underworld were found in the thermal springs at the site of the Plutonium, or Pluto's Gate, in the Phrygian city of Hierapolis. The Plutonium and the city's warm waters were popular pilgrimage sites until the rise of Christianity in the Roman Empire. Then, sometime between the fourth and sixth centuries A.D., the two statues were damaged, probably by Christian pilgrims to the tomb of Saint Philip, which was discovered in the ancient city last year. "These details show the growing conflict between the new and old cults, and the resulting marginalization of the traditional pagan religion," explained Alister Filippini of the University of Palermo and the University of Cologne.
LINCOLNSHIRE, ENGLAND—An Anglo-Saxon sarcophagus discovered within an old church wall beneath Lincoln Castle has been opened. Inside, researchers discovered the remains of a person who had been wrapped in a finely-woven textile. "The first step was to take a 3-D scan of the coffin itself. Then we carefully opened it up to see what was inside. The body appeared to be wearing leather boots or shoes," said Mary Powell of the Lincoln Castle Revealed project. Lincoln Castle was built more than 900 years ago by William the Conqueror.
HAIFA, ISRAEL—Thousands of animal bones, including bones of birds, tortoises, gazelles, wild boars, the common hare, and stone martens, have been discovered alongside human remains in a cave where Natufian hunter-gatherers buried their dead between 13,000 and 12,000 years ago. Dani Nadel of Haifa University and members of an international team of researchers think that the animal bones, which bear signs of butchery, are evidence of communal meals held at the graves. "The untypical and meticulous gathering of the leftover bones indicates that it had some significance after the meal was over, possibly of stashing it with the deceased," said Reuven Yeshurun, also of the University of Haifa.

I'm looking for a hybrid car, but the problem is that I'm 6'8" with a ridiculous 40" inseam. For most cars I sit in, my knees hit the wheel, and I can't angle my legs because then I'm hitting the brakes at an angle. I'm skinny and my torso is more normal size, so there isn't as much a problem with seat width or headroom. I've sat in a 2012 Toyota Camry hybrid and a 2010 Ford Fusion hybrid, but no luck with my knees. I did drive a Chevy Impala (2008?) for a weekend, and my legs were very comfortable, however I would like a hybrid for gas mileage. I know there are listings of cars for tall people, but I haven't had much luck finding hybrid cars for tall people. Could anyone please tell me if they are familiar with fuel efficient cars for people with really long legs?
Thanks in advance!

longlegsnocar Posts: 4I started to methodically go through various lists, but I've had to pause to finish up some stuff for school. My first thought though was that I'll probably have to go with a full-sized sedan, good fuel economy or not (though hopefully the former). I'll try to update my findings, and if you find anything yourself, please feel free to share!
PS - Glad to know I'm not alone! -

@lindaloo4 said: Hi Longlegsnocar - have you found a standard car you are comfortable in?
We have a 40" inseamer in the family... (7foot tall)Would love to see what you have tried that worked! We are going to check out the extender as well!
Just an update - I went with a Buick Lacrosse (Shaq's car). It had the best space for my knees, and it is a pretty nice car, with the only downside being the mileage. Good luck hunting!

"He tells us the truth every time," Rae said. "He tells us, straight up, what the deal is and he says get it out of our mind and do what we have to, and that's win games. And that's what we're going to try to continue doing."
Stat You Might Have Missed, Part I: After its 59-24 win at Southern Mississippi, Marshall has scored 302 points and yielded "only" 291 this season.
OK, you knew the offense has been explosive and the defense has often imploded, but this is the obscure part: Marshall's "PF" is exceeding its "PA" for the first time since the 2009 season opener. That was a 31-28 win over Southern Illinois, a small margin quickly wiped out by a 52-10 loss at Virginia Tech.
That team finished with a 33-point deficit. The 2010 team was minus-95, winning its five games by just a combined 49 points. Last year's ended up going minus-88 despite its 7-6 record, thanks to lopsided losses at Ohio, Houston and Tulsa.
Stat You Might Have Missed, Part II: Can the Herd buy a missed field goal by its opponent?
So far, nine have been made in as many attempts, including the 51-yarder by Southern Mississippi's Corey Acosta that bounced over the crossbar. All other foes except West Virginia have hit 3-pointers between 22 and 40 yards.
Adding a field goal by Florida International in last year's bowl game, the streak is 10 field goals over eight games. The last miss against the Herd came from East Carolina's Mike Barbour, who went short on a go-ahead attempt from 52 yards in the fourth quarter of the regular-season finale.
That was a surprise. In the second quarter, Barbour not only hit a stadium-record 57-yarder, he one-upped that by hitting again from 58.

We are living in a time of extraordinary technological prog-ress in computed tomography (CT). Some 11 years after its introduction, multislice CT continues to improve, expanding both its range and accuracy in thoracic imaging. Today, multislice CT can easily visualize the aorta in acute aortic syndromes, during postoperative evaluation, and in congenital disease; diagnose pulmonary embolism; assess regional lung perfusion; and characterize lung nodules, among other applications. In the future, flat-panel detectors will undoubtedly revolutionize our approach to CT once again, as will wide-spread use of computer-assisted diagnosis.
Contrast enhancement plays a central role in thoracic CT and there are many theoretical considerations governing its use. When discussing contrast delivery and image processing, it is important to keep the day-to-day realities of a busy imaging department in mind, however. In addition to the need to employ straightforward contrast-enhancement strategies, it is important to remember that many community radiologists do not have experience using advanced workstations or have picture archiving and communications systems. Whether in large medical centers, such as NYU Medical Center, where we perform >100 CT scans a day, or in smaller institutions, protocols for contrast delivery must be developed with an eye to practicality.
Advances in CT technology have enabled us to perform faster scans while using thinner collimation to acquire data across larger and larger volumes of interest. We have progressed from using a single-detector scanner with 5-mm collimation to examine the main pulmonary arteries in 1991, to using a 4-slice scanner with 1-mm collimation to examine many of its branches in 2000. With the introduction of 8-, 10- and 16-slice CT scanners, it is now possible to use submillimeter collimation, which enables true isotropic imaging. One indication of this progress is a reduction in the number of indeterminate CT pulmonary arteriograms, to 5% to 10%, with multidetector CT scanners. 1,2
We, and others, are interested in pushing CT to its limits, and today that means using 16-detector technology. Table 1 provides generic guidelines for performing CT angiography (CTA) using 4- or 16-slice scanners. Although these guidelines must be modified for specific clinical situations, they cover nearly all potential indications for CTA in the thorax.
We routinely use 1- to 1.25-mm collimators for data acquisition, and 0.75-mm collimators only rarely. Images are then reconstructed at 1.5- to 5-mm intervals, as clinically indicated. We typically use a contrast volume of 100 to 150 mL, with con-centrations of 240 to 300 mgI/mL. We rarely use contrast material with a concentration as high as 370 mgI/mL. In our practice, the use of monomeric nonionic contrast material is the norm.
We inject contrast at a maximum rate of 3 to 5 mL/sec. Although it is feasible to consider the use of faster injection rates, as has been done in Europe, presently there are no routine indications for this practice. In early studies of CT examination for pulmonary embolism, investigators in France reported in-jection rates of 6 to 7 mL/sec using contrast material with a concentration of 120 mgI/mL. 3 While this approach proved adequate for identifying central clot, it proved less efficacious for identifying peripheral segmental and subsegmental pulmonary arteries.
To time image acquisition, we use either real-time bolus tracking or a 20-mL test bolus of contrast material. In the latter case, we acquire images at 5, 10, 15, and 20 seconds, as a guide to optimizing contrast enhancement. In our experience, the main purpose for a test bolus is to determine whether initial flow rates provide optimal contrast enhancement of the central pulmonary arteries. In cases of suboptimal contrast enhancement, we increase the flow rate to a maximum of 5 mL/sec. Although a test bolus is effective in ensuring a good-quality study, in our experience, bolus tracking has proved more reliable for gauging when to acquire images.
Aortic disease
Multidetector CT can be used to evaluate virtually any clinical condition involving the aorta. While acute aortic syndromes, such as aortic aneurysm and dissection, are among the most common, CT is also useful in postoperative examinations and in the evaluation of congenital disease. More recently, attention has focused on the use of CTA for the evaluation of stent placement in patients with aortic dissection. 4
Unlike imaging of the abdominal aorta, in which identification of branch vessels is of critical importance, in the evaluation of the thoracic aorta we routinely use thicker sections (5 mm). In select cases, in which identification of bronchial, intercostal, or anomalous vessels is needed, we may obtain 1- to 3-mm sections. In all cases, additional routine or curved multiplanar sections are reconstructed to simulate the appearance of the aorta as seen angio-graphically. Depending on available technology, we also use both maximum intensity projection images (MIPs) or volumetric reconstructions (Figure 1).
Although volumetric renderings, in particular, elegantly demonstrate aortic anatomy, they are clearly dependent on optimization of contrast administration. Equally important is the interface between the radiologist and advanced imaging technology. While it is possible to optimize contrast enhancement throughout the entire abdomen and chest, it is unlikely that CTA will gain widespread acceptance by general radiologists until easier, more automated methods of advanced imaging techniques are introduced. Only then will multislice CT reach its full potential.
CT angioscopy is another promising application, not only for evaluating the aorta but, potentially, for evaluating both the pulmonary and coronary arteries as well (Figure 2).
Pulmonary arterial disease
Pulmonary embolism
The ability to perform increasingly sophisticated CTA has revolutionized the diagnosis of diseases of the pulmonary arteries and veins. Evaluation of acute pulmonary embolism, for example, represents the most important opportunity today for clinical expansion of CT in the chest. A decade ago, CT had virtually no role in the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism; now it is one of the most commonly requested scans in our institution.
With the aid of contrast enhancement, we are able to image through the entire thorax, routinely visualizing small pulmonary emboli even in fourth-, fifth-, and sixth-generation pulmonary arteries. The volume-rendered images in Figure 3 depict a small clot in the right pulmonary artery to the right upper lobe. Such superb spatial resolution, as well as the ability to acquire data through the entire thorax using a single contrast injection, has now become common. Figure 2 demonstrates the potential for pulmonary angioscopy to be used as an alternative method to evaluate patients with suspected pulmonary embolism, specifically those who might require embolectomy.
To image small pulmonary arteries, it is necessary to acquire the thinnest possible sections. When data are acquired using a single-detector CT and 3-mm-thick slices, subsegmental artery visualization is possible in just 37% to 39% of patients. 2 By comparison, when multidetector CT is used to acquire data in 1.25-mm thick slices, visualization is possible in 71% to 76% of patients. Now, with the capability of acquiring data in 0.75-mm thick sections throughout the thorax, our ability to make more precise diagnoses is even better.
Scan delay
A key issue in pulmonary arterial CT is the optimal delay between contrast administration and the initiation of scanning. A study by Hartmann et al 5 compared the use of a fixed 20-second scan delay with the use of contrast transit time in a total of 107 patients. With a single-detector CT scanner, investigators found no difference between the two groups in image quality. They concluded that a 20-second fixed delay was acceptable for the evaluation of pulmonary embolism.
In our experience, however, use of a fixed scan delay results in a level of contrast enhancement insufficient to make subtle diagnoses in segmental and subsegmental pulmonary arteries in approximately 5% of cases, even with a 4-detector scanner. Therefore, we now prefer to use real-time bolus tracking.
A study by Kirchner et al 6 involved 179 patients undergoing lung CT using a 4-slice scanner and real-time bolus tracking. The study design had certain limitations. For example, although investigators used contrast material with a concentration of 300 mgI/mL, they injected at a rate of only 2 mL/sec. In addition, most patients were undergoing evaluation for thoracic neoplasia rather than pulmonary embolism.
Nonetheless, the study yielded several interesting observations. Investigators triggered imaging when contrast enhancement reached 100 HU. Although, on average, scanning was initiated after a delay of 21 seconds, the range was quite wide, 12 to 48 seconds, reflecting substantial variation in patient physiology. Investigators used an average of 10 monitoring images, a number that would not be expected to substantially increase radiation dose. They found no correlation between bolus geometry and patient age, body surface area, or even weight in this study group. In addition, contrast volume averaged only 48 mL (range 38 to 71 mL). It is unlikely that such a low volume would be feasible for CT of the aorta or pulmonary arteries, however.
It is worth noting that in CT of the chest, single-phase imaging is the norm. The complicated multiphasic contrast injections that characterize CT of the liver, for example, are generally unnecessary.
New directions
Perfusion imaging, although still in its infancy, shows considerable promise as a correlative method for assessing pulmonary embolism. Wildberger et al 7 reported preliminary data on the use of multidetector CT to produce perfusion-weighted color maps of lung paren-chyma. Using a 4-slice CT scanner, 120 mL of contrast material, and a 30-second scan delay, investigators acquired data in 1.25-mm thick slices and reconstructed it in increments of 0.8 mm. From source images, they performed an automated 3D segmentation of the lungs, followed by vessel cutting and adaptive filtering. The filtered volume data were used to create a color-coded display of lung density, which was fused with the original CT images.
In the 4 patients who did not have evidence of pulmonary embolism on previous multislice CT, perfusion imaging showed a homogeneous distribution of color-coded densities in the lung (Figure 4A). In the 2 patients with established pulmonary embolism, perfusion-weighted color maps showed low-density values distal to the occluded pulmonary arteries (Figure 4B). Investigators concluded that lung densitometry with color-coded display of densities in the lung parenchyma may provide additional information in the evaluation of pulmonary embolism.
Whether lung perfusion imaging will become clinically practical is uncertain. Clearly, it is technologically feasible to create such images, and to examine not just the embolus, but lung physiology as well.
The potential to combine pulmonary angiography and pulmonary venography represents another area of active research. 8-12 The published literature offers no consensus on the clinical indications for such studies or the best way to perform them. Nonetheless, they demonstrate that we are capable of finding clot in the peripheral veins and suggest that CT venography may be an important adjunct in the imaging of pulmonary embolism. Determining the optimal method for contrast enhancement, including scan delay, will require further investigation.
Computer-assisted diagnosis of pulmonary embolism also has great potential. In Figure 5, segmented views of the pulmonary arteries to the right lower lobe show the presence of multiple filling defects that were identified using computer-assisted diagnosis. This tool will likely become important, particularly for detecting small subsegmental pulmonary emboli.
The best ways to administer contrast and project data are also the subject of intense research. One approach would be to use bicolor coding of multiplanar reconstructions of the pulmonary arteries to display differences in contrast density suggestive of embolism (Figure 5).
Miscellaneous applications
In addition to routine applications, CTA can be of value in evaluating virtually any intrathoracic disease in which abnormal vasculature is present. In addition to assessing thoracic aortic aneurysms and dissections, CTA has also proved valuable for assessing aortitis, identifying congenital anomalies, and evaluating posttraumatic thoracic aortic injuries. 13,14
Similarly, although CTA has most often been used to assess acute pulmonary embolism, less frequent indications include chronic pulmonary embolism, pulmonary arteritis, pulmonary vascular neoplasms, and traumatic pulmonary vascular injuries, among others. 15
Additional indications include vascular anomalies, such as those that occur in patients with pulmonary sequestration or arteriovenous malformations (Figure 6), and abnormalities of the systemic and pulmonary veins, including the superior vena caval syndrome. 16
Nodule enhancement
Although nodule enhancement does not come under the heading of CT angiography, it is an appropriate topic for any discussion of the practical applications of contrast-enhanced thoracic CT. Nodule enhancement has been well described in the literature. 17 The data suggest that the use of contrast enhancement in the evaluation of pulmonary nodules is extremely helpful for differentiating benign from malignant disease.
In a multicenter trial, Swensen et al 17 used contrast-enhanced CT to study 356 lung nodules 5 to 40 mm in diameter. Nearly half of the nodules were malignant. Investigators found that in malignant nodules, enhancement averaged 38.1 HU, as compared with 10.0 HU in benign nodules ( P <0.001). Using 15 HU as the cutoff, they found nodule enhancement to have a 98% sensitivity and 58% specificity for malignancy.
Evaluation of nodule enhancement is not widely done, however. In part, this results from uncertainty about how the technique should be applied. It is hoped that eventually it will be common to scan each nodule as a volume and to do whole-volume determinations of enhancement at various time phases. It may also be possible to conduct permeability and perfusion studies of pulmonary nodules--additional applications in which optimization of contrast enhancement will play a crucial role.
With the introduction of multidetector CT scanners capable of acquiring thin sections through the entire thorax in a single breath-hold, CTA has now entered the era of routine clinical practice. As outlined above, virtually any study requiring evaluation of intrathoracic vessels may now be performed as a CT angiogram. This has truly revolutionized our approach to diagnostic imaging, as evidenced by the preferred use of CT in patients with a clinical suspicion of an acute aortic syndrome or, especially, a pulmonary embolism. The result has been near complete replacement of the need for routine angiography in our department. It is anticipated that with more sophisticated methods of data acquisition, we will be able to routinely evaluate lung perfusion as well as more accurately characterize focal lung pathology.

ELLIOT K. FISHMAN, MD: Thanks, David. In terms of pulmonary embolism, whether it's with CTA in the future, or just now, one of the problems people typically have is flow-related phenomenon, determining if it is really a clot or is it just flow? What are your thoughts about choosing contrast? Would an iso-osmolar contrast agent be better in that situation?
DAVID P. NAIDICH, MD: Well, we don't really have any experience with iso-osmolar contrast in that context: I can't really answer that. But I think the question of why it is that some contrast studies of the pulmonary arteries don't look as enhanced as they should relative to that 4% or 5% of cases in which doing more detailed timing and volume acquisition really would have played a role.
Although performing bolus tracking has become less of a problem, we have discovered that using a time-delay test bolus may be as effective.
We try to use as little contrast as possible to maximize delivery. So we initially use 3 mL/sec, and then acquire data at 5, 10, 15, and 20 seconds. I have found that there is a certain percentage of cases, not surprisingly, in which using that acquisition protocol, you can see that none of those images are really sufficient for good contrast enhancement.
The result of that has been when we use a timed bolus with resulting poor vascular opacification, we can increase the rate of injection from 3, to 4, or even 5 mL/sec, an option we lose with bolus tracking. Ultimately, I don't think there is going to be a solution, because I think part of the reason for suboptimal opacification in select cases is both anatomic and, more importantly, physiologic. Especially considering branch or crossing points of smaller vessels and those with an oblique course, it is just difficult to be certain that one is not missing a small peripheral pulmonary embolus.
FISHMAN: Has anyone had experience using an iso-osmolar contrast agent with pulmonary emboli, compared with other kinds of contrast?
NAIDICH: I can't comment, as we haven't been using it.
FISHMAN: We use iso-osmolar contrast routinely in a lot of pulmonary emboli studies. Dr. Pannu was doing some work that's just being analyzed in some animal models, looking at the opacification of vessels and homogeneity of vessels with different contrast agents. Our experience in trying to document this in an animal model has been that with an iso-osmolar agent, you get a more homogeneous opacification of vessel. We've had fewer problems with determining if a finding is an embolus or is flow-related.
I agree with you that in some patients, especially patients with high blood volumes, such as postpartum patients being evaluated for pulmonary emboli, it's impossible to get a good study. I don't care how you inject the contrast and how you time it; in some cases, it seems that nothing gets very bright, no matter what you do.
NAIDICH: Even more than a postpartum patient, a woman in her third trimester is also very hard to evaluate. In the third trimester, the heart rate is 150% or 200% of what it normally would be, with increased blood vol-ume. But, even in the most unexpected patients in whom you don't know of any history of heart disease nor of any history of even pulmonary physiologic abnormalities, sometimes you never quite get the opacification necessary for good interpretation.
SANJAY SAINI, MD: David, I don't do thoracic imaging, but I understand that the density of contrast material and the superior vena cava can create artifacts.
NAIDICH: That's something that has been mentioned. I suppose, initially, if people aren't used to evaluating PA studies they may be a little confusing. It is an artifact that's easily recognizable as an artifact, and it really has not interfered for some time now. It used to be that people would use this to argue for scanning from below up. But I don't think this is really necessary.
SAINI: Does that mean that using higher density contrast material may be less useful, because of that artifact?
NAIDICH: Again, I'm not sure that streak artifacts specifically from the superior vena cava are ever going to be that much of a problem. Once you know what to look for, it's really not an issue.
W. DENNIS FOLEY, MD: This could be an argument for a saline chase.
SAINI: Potentially, yes.
FOLEY : I want to add one question. Do you have any comments on EKG gating, particularly for the left lower lobe and pulmonary emboli? Particularly with the low mAs that you are now using, could it be a prospective study?
NAIDICH: The problem with prospective gating is you need to know which cases would likely benefit. Although, predictably, there are always going to be problems looking at the lingular pulmonary arteries, because cardiac motion with most state-of-the-art prospective gating prolongs studies and makes them more difficult to perform. Most important, prospective gating may limit volume acquisition in a single breath-hold.
KYONGTAE T. BAE, MD, PhD: What threshold do you use for bolus tracking?
NAIDICH: We've arbitrarily been using 125 HU.
MARILYN SIEGEL, MD: When do you use dual-phase or arterial-venous-phase imaging in the chest? Do you ever use it for some of the cardiac studies there?
NAIDICH: We don't really use it. Dual-phase imaging is rarely necessary in the thorax: the sole exception is nodule enhancement/perfusion studies. For these cases, a saline chase would theoretically be most important to ensure uniform contrast delivery. To my knowledge, this remains a problem, as I believe that there is now only one manufacturer that markets a dual injector. Is that correct?
BAE: There are now two or three of them.
NAIDICH: It has been suggested that a saline chaser be used without a dual injector; unfortunately, this has proved too complicated to gain general acceptance.
