"The military is the only organization which really has experience with aerial refueling..."
Also look at figure 2 here http://www.ai.mit.edu/projects/im/ma.../spacast3.html
A quote from the article: "Space operations must become as routine and non-exotic as air operations." Folks are looking at hydrogen peroxide and jet fuel in that neither is a cryogenic.
In what I've read in articles over the years--the general desire is for kerosene spaceplanes.
Some talk on Skylon:
Japans challenges:
"The phase of the hydrogen in the pipes changes from gas, a saturated vapor (two-phase), to liquid, making it quite difficult to control LH2 mass to feed the engine due to dramatic density changes..."
One solution:
The anti Liberty folks here should enjoy this:
Then too, there was the TAV--but that would have needed a pad:
I always thought it was to be top mount with only the spaceplane in a clamshell bay above ground. Now Antice brought up some good points. Korolov was still pro liquid ICBMs what with R-9 I think it was, saying that it could be fueled rather quickly. So if Skylon can cause folks to "warm" to LH2, that's perfectly fine.

By Willie Sawyers
LAUREL COUNTY, Ky. —
With most everyone giving their opinion about the Super Bowl, gun control, the president and other hot topics, I might as well throw in my two cents worth.
Of course, if America does away with the penny, as Canada did recently, my two cents worth will no longer be relevant, because it will jump to five cents.
If that happens, it will be the first time something that I have in abundance — opinions — appreciates in value.
• Super Bowl winner: I was cheering for the Niners, but didn't mind the Ravens winning. They played better and earned it. Besides, the oldest brother should win first.
• Interference or no interference: There was a lot of contact on the Niners' fourth-down play, but it was a good no-call. One play did not lose the game for San Francisco. They didn't start playing until after the power outage. Their questionable play calling and lack of execution in the red zone got them beat.
• Beyonce's halftime performance: Long on visuals, but short on substance. I couldn't understand a word she was singing, probably because my musical taste skews to somewhat older, say about 1976.
But I must concur with most critics who thought Beyonce and her performers were bootylicious. There was so much wiggling and jiggling going on, the halftime show should have been sponsored by Jello.
• Best Super Bowl commercials: 1. Newborn Clydesdale by Budweiser. 2. Farmer appreciation by Paul Harvey and Ram Trucks. 3. Joe Montana shirt stain by Tide.
Now, on to some national debates.
• Gun control: Banning assault weapons and large ammo magazines is not an attack on on Second Amendment rights. It's a common sense approach to curbing the massacres that are currently pervading our society.
• Rand Paul for president: Yeah, right. His extreme views will resonate in some circles, but will prevent him from becoming a serious mainstream candidate for president. He would get fewer minority and immigrant votes than Mitt Romney did. As the economy improves, which it will into 2016, Paul and his ideals will become more irrelevant.
• Mitch McConnell vs. Ashley Judd: At first glance, it appeared she might have a chance against the incumbent senator. McConnell is vulnerable, and Judd is a popular, beautiful, UK Wildcat fan.
But her liberal views on coal, abortion and Obamacare would make it tough for Judd to win votes outside of Louisville and Lexington. Looks like Kentucky will be represented again by a pit bull, instead of a purring feline.
And some local issues.
• London's failure to approve package stores: Corbin had a nice Christmas present in the form of $77,000 in liquor taxes for December alone. The forward-thinking city is on track to rake in more than a half-million dollars per year in liquor taxes, with a huge chunk of the sales coming from residents in London and Laurel County.
Corbin voted to allow package stores, then Somerset. London let a small minority make its decision, and ultimately, push it to the back of the bus where the view and the outlook is not as clear.
• Moving Nibroc from Main Street: IMHO, moving the annual summer festival from Main Street to other locations in Corbin will infuse Nibroc with a terminal illness. Death would come slowly, but inevitably. Remember, Nibroc was on life support before it moved to Main Street. More opinions on this subject later.
Opinions, opinions, everybody has them, no matter how misguided or uniformed. You may find that my two cents are not worth a dime, but at least I will sign my name to them and not hide anonymously in some slanderous Internet forum.
Save the penny!

Karhu Running Shoes: Are They The Design For you?
Posted by: Mona Rosene on May 01, 2011
The Karhu Strong 2 Fulcrum Ride is a unique shoe! Below are two perspectives of its performance and suggestions for the type of runner who may benefit most from this exclusive design.
Neutral runner
If you are a neutral runner with no pronation, this shoe is not for you. The roll forward-orientated design may feel strange, and the added stabilization could compromise your natural running gate. Never the less, if you are a mid-foot striker the proprietary EVA blend near the middle of the foot provides protective cushioning and maximum resilience helping to propel you into your next stride.
If you have flat, pronated feet and need a high stability shoe, give the Karhu Strong 2 Fulcrum a try!
The Fulcrum roll forward-orientated design may help the heel striker transition from the heel to toe more smoothly and more efficiently. The forefoot is very thin and breathable, which may make you aware of the rocks and inconsistencies during a trail run. If you pronate, the Fulcrum technology works well!
Finally the "glowing" green color is very noticeable - be ready for comments!
Below are the specs of the shoe:
- Breathable air mesh upper vents your working foot so your sweat doesn't form blisters
- Carbon fiber plate provides a rigid structure for the unpredictable road or path ahead
- An EVA forefoot insert promotes health by lining up your metatarsal heads while you run
- The breathable Ortholite footbed cradles your foot and manages sweating
- Compression-molded and blown rubber make up the outsole, which includes flex zones so you stay in contact with the road through your stride
- Reflective logos keep you visible to drivers during dawn or dusk runs

The tale of chemistry teacher turned dying cancer patient turned meth kingpin draws to a close Sunday night starting at 9 p.m. on AMC.
For five seasons, in "Breaking Bad" time starting from Walter White's 50th birthday and presumably ending sometime around his 52nd birthday, fans of the show have been drawn to the saga of a seemingly good guy who 'breaks bad' in order to help his family.
Nearly every aspect of the show is perfect. From the breathtaking canvas of the New Mexico desert to a flawless ensemble cast to expertly written dialogue, the show never misses the mark.
'Breaking Bad' also never seemed to waste any time on unimportant subplots or weird tangents. I guess you can't afford to when your main character is dying of cancer.
For all of it's triumphs, I think the show's soul comes from Bryan Cranston's portrayal of Mr. White.
Since the show's beginning, many have marveled at how Cranston portrays a man who goes from a seemingly meek father, husband and teacher to the sinister Heisenberg.
I've never looked at it that way. I think the beauty of Cranston's performance and the way Walt is written, is that he was never a good guy. I don't see the show as a good guy turning bad. I think Walt is and always has been a sociopath.
In his earlier life, he was unable to stick with Gray Matter. That company would have made him more money than he ever could have made as Heisenberg. He let his own bloated ego matched with a world of insecurities drive him away.
As a teacher he seems unattached and ineffectual.
He feels unappreciated for his genius. Put upon by those who he sees as less intelligent. And that's pretty much everyone.
I am drawn to the scene in season 1, Walt and Skyler take Walt Jr. to buy some clothes. At the store a group of teens are making fun of Walt Jr.'s cerebral palsy. Walt becomes enraged and brutally attacks one of the boys.
Some see this as a man, recently given a death sentence, nearing his breaking point.
I see this as the first sight of Heisenberg, Walt's Id.
'Breaking Bad' isn't the story of the birth of a sociopath. It's a story of that sociopath becoming fully formed.
As for this Sunday, I don't know what's going to happen though I have my theories.
I'm not going to get too caught up on the ending. Some shows end better than others. I tend to be partial to the way "Friday Night Lights", "Six Feet Under" and "The Larry Sanders Show" ended. But even great shows (The Sopranos) have endings that may not have met the lofty standard they set.
I'm also not going to get caught up in whether "Breaking Bad" is the greatest show of all time. That conversation is fun with buddies at a bar but that's it. To have a serious conversation about that seems silly. It's far too subjective.
In real time, "Breaking Bad" provided less than 65 hours of television. But like all great works, be they art, film or literature, the enjoyment and meaning derived from them will last a lifetime.
When I think about "Breaking Bad" I wonder about myself. What series of events would cause me to act as brazenly as Walt. Am I capable of doing a fraction of the thing's he done?
No matter what happens Sunday night, I have adopted a mantra, scrawled on the White family's living room wall after the house has been seemingly condemned: 'Heisenberg lives'
Are you a fan of "Breaking Bad"? Do you have thought's on the show's finale?
Email me at firstname.lastname@example.com or follow me on Twitter @DRiordan_TGN and we can talk about the show.

A fake plane crash caused quite a scare Friday morning on the city's South Side.
Ambulances, fire trucks, and the fuselage of a small airplane were in the middle of Martin Luther King Drive Friday morning, causing many people, including some media outlets to believe it was the real thing.
But it was all part of a disaster scene NBC was filming for an upcoming episode of one of its TV programs.
Residents of the neighborhood were notified of the filming by sheets of paper posted on telephone signs and streetlight poles.
One man said he was having his morning coffee when he heard the report of a plane crash near his home.
"They were reporting a plane crash out in back of our house. And I couldn't believe they didn't know that there was a TV show shooting today," the man said.
He says he found out about the filming through the signs posted in his neighborhood.
Larry Langford, a spokesman for the Chicago Fire Department, said nearby residents had been informed of the filming. Langford said moving forward, they would do things differently and put out a media alert notifying radio and TV stations and newspapers directly.
Police are investigating the murder of a homeless man who was beaten to death in an alley in Logan Square.

There's a Penguin on the Beach: My Story
I was born in a research station called Port Alfred on Possession Island near Antarctica. One of the researchers hatched me in an incubator after saving my egg from plummeting over the edge of a nearby cliff. He tried to give me back to my penguin family, but they preferred to let the non-penguin inhabitants of the island figure out how to hatch me and what to do with me afterwards.
The hatching was a bit of a touch-and-go situation, but in the end, I clawed my way out of my shell amid clapping and cheering. I guess you could say my dramatic birth set the stage for my unusual life. Not many penguins strut down the halls of a research station in search of a cheeseburger while basking in the quiet hum of machines and friendly waves from those who pass by. The average King Penguin like me dines on squirming squid in the midst of incomprehensible squawking. The noise would make my ears bleed if I had any.
I don't mean to brag, but I'm awesome in a rock star kind of way. Add to this fascinating life my seriously spectacular looks and I am one popular guy. Let's face it, if you were a penguin, you'd date me.
Possession Island is okay at best. The place is cold and people fall asleep at parties. At four years old, I realized I was nearing my prime and it was time to stretch my wings (figuratively – these things are worthless). Two months ago, I set out for exotic South Beach to live in a hotel owned by my dad's brother. After asking around, I learned South Beach is warm, salsa dancing is everywhere, the people are always up for fun, and there aren't many penguins. Perfect.
Unfortunately, (being a penguin) I can't read and ended up on a flight to Ireland. Two weeks and billions of gallons of rain later, I had seen the Emerald Isle from coast to coast. I stayed in a 700 year-old castle and shopped on Grafton Street! The trip was so exhilarating, I climbed inside a suitcase that I eventually found out was bound for France. In Paris, I found my way to the Louvre and was mistaken for modern art as I stood perfectly still to enjoy the Mona Lisa. My next stop was Sydney, Australia where I was everyone's "mate" and rode on a giant tortoise. In Tibet, I was granted an audience with the Dalai Lama, who patted me on the head and told me my presence inspired a smile.
Eventually I found my way to the Miami airport and grabbed a cab to Ocean Drive. When my flippers hit the pavement in front of The Penguin Hotel (no doubt named after me!), my charmed life got even better. A deep breath filled my lungs with ocean air and a hoppin' beat from a club down the street made my heart beat a little faster.
My uncle set me up with the best room in the house. My crisp white and deep green penthouse suite has everything a guy needs and so many things I didn't know existed and now can't live without. The best part is that I can walk out onto a palatial deck just off the suite to take in the South Beach ocean view whenever I want. I'll get to mingle with guests from all over the world in my new job as Official Hotel Host. My first soiree is already in the works. Consider yourself invited.
I've no doubt the travel itch will overcome me at any moment, but I also know The Penguin Hotel is where I truly belong. I've seen a great deal of the world and the best place is right here! Pardon me for running off, but I'm meeting a fascinating group of Italians who want to teach me to roller skate. I don't know what that is, but I'm game! Bye for now, and don't forget to check back in with me soon.
By the Penguin of South Beach
As told to Lori Metze

Environmental Issues: Energy
Energy Main Page
All Documents in Energy Tagged California
- It Could Happen Here: The Exploding Threat of Crude by Rail in California
Fact Sheet
- In the rush to transport land-locked unconventional new crude oil sources, old rail lines running through communities across America are now rattling with thousands of cars filled with crude oil. Federal regulators have few safeguards in place to protect communities and the environment from accidents, spills and explosions resulting from the race to move millions of barrels of crude by rail.
- California's Energy Efficiency Success Story
Saving Billions of Dollars and Curbing Tons of Pollution
Fact Sheet
- California's long, bipartisan history of promoting energy efficiency -- America's cheapest and cleanest energy resource -- has saved Golden State residents more than $65 billion, helped lower their residential electricity bills to 25 percent below the national average, and contributed to the state's continuing leadership in creating green jobs.
- Cleaning Up Diesel Trucks in California
Millions in Funding Available Each Year
Fact Sheet
- Heavy-duty trucks in California are the largest single source of diesel pollution, leading to thousands of illnesses and deaths each year. Pollution from diesel trucks was responsible for roughly 1,500 premature deaths in 2005, and the costs of this loss of life in addition to disease, lost work days, and school absences adds up to $12 billion per year. However, diesel pollution could easily be prevented through upgrades to the existing truck fleet, and the California Air Resources Board (CARB) is seeking to do just that with the upcoming diesel truck regulation. While truck owners may be wary of the added costs of upgrades that will be required, much funding has been made available by the state to offset those costs. Get document in pdf.

- The Untapped Potential of California's Water Supply
Efficiency, Reuse, and Stormwater
Issue Brief
- California is suffering from a third year of drought, with near-record-low reservoirs, mountain snowpack, soil moisture, and river runoff. As a direct result, far less water than usual is available for cities, farms, and natural ecosystems. There are far-reaching effects that will intensify if dry conditions persist. Several response strategies are available that will provide both near-term relief and long-term benefits.
- Proceed with Caution: California's Drought and Seawater Desalination
Issue Paper
- Some observers wonder whether the long-term answer to California's drought lies in the ocean through the
promotion of seawater desalination. This paper offers an overview of the science and policy related to seawater desalination and demonstrates why this option is generally the least promising option for drought relief.
- California Snowpack and the Drought
Fact Sheet
- Snowpack, vital to California's water supply, has long replenished the state's reservoirs naturally in advance of the dry summer and fall months. Snowpack normally provides one-third of the water used by California's cities and farms each year. But if drought conditions persist, 2014's April snowpack measurements could be among the lowest since state snow surveys began in 1930.
- California's New Recycling Goal is a Green Jobs Creator
Achieving 75 percent recycling in California could produce more than 110,000 jobs.
- California already leads the nation in green jobs creation, and increasing recycling and the industry that supports it will create even more jobs.

between that and jim lampley's/larry merchant's bullshit on hbo 'raising suspicions' i believe jmm should be suing these muthafuckas or at the very least demanding apologies.
it is clear to me that these sob's don't know shit about boxing.

lol...the irony could be cut with a knife.
I think Marquez is more a class act for ignoring it all (or not noticing it at all, even better lol). Why argue with bobbleheads especially for money when you already got it? I wouldn't waste my time with it - But I do think it would be justified

We think you look great, Fiona.
An Evening w/ Fiona Apple and Blake MillsWalt Disney Concert Hall (111 S Grand Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90012) Map it $45
Singer/songwriter and enfant terrible Fiona Apple has gone viral twice in the past year for reasons not related to her newest album. The singer first stole headlines last November when she abandoned ship on the South American leg of her latest tour, The Idler Wheel. The admirable reason, according to a handwritten letter to fans on her Facebook page, was that Apple needed to stay home and nurse her dying 13-year-old dog, Janet. Another act of altruistic animal activism occurred last month when the singer released an affecting cover of "Pure Imagination" from the 1971 film Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. An animated Chipotle commercial feature's Apple's voice over a "dystopian" plea against the horrors of factory farming. This is all not to detract from the singer's other extraordinary machine, her fourth album, The Idler Wheel, which dropped last year. Tonight, she appears with the album's guitarist (and Dawes frontman) Blake Mills to the sounds of the Los Angeles Philharmonic. Don't miss.- Julian Hooper, Flavorpill

The human body has an astounding ability to heal itself. When there is injury or damage to an area, healthy cells naturally migrate to the area to work to restore the body to its previous state. For simple injuries like cuts and scrapes, the body is programmed to heal and regenerate new growth. However, for other types of injuries, the body's innate self-repair mechanisms may require assistance to reach their full potential.
In spite of great advances in treatment options for many orthopedic conditions, injuries and degenerative conditions of the musculoskeletal system remain poorly treated. At Zhoy Vitality Center, we now offer regenerative therapy for painful conditions of the musculoskeletal system. This innovative treatment can potentially offer pain relief without unnecessary operations and medications.
Acupuncture is gaining popularity as a cosmetic treatment for the face. Many skincare professionals report that acupuncture can smooth out fine lines and wrinkles and is comparable to Botox, the neuromuscular paralyzing agent that contains botulinum toxin A. Acupuncture has a lengthy history for treating many health disorders and conditions since its introduction to the Western world in the 1970s.
The fundamental property of acupuncture is that the body is an integrated system and dysregulation of the body has an adverse effect on the skin. The World Health Organization (WHO, 2003) rates acupuncture as an effective treatment for facial pain, tension and migraine headaches, and temporomandibular joint disease.
The Acupuncture Facelift
Facial rejuvenation acupuncture is a painless, nonsurgical method of reducing the aging process. Often called the acupuncture facelift, this popular cosmetic procedure involves the insertion of hair-thin needles onto certain areas of the face, neck, and ears along channels of energy called Qi (pronounced chee). Specific Qi points allow the acupuncturist to manipulate the energy movement in your body.
Exilis is an exciting new treatment we offer here at the Zhoy Vitality Center. This impressive procedure can be used for body contouring and removal of unwanted fat or for skin tightening and wrinkle reduction.
What is Exilis?
Exilis is an FDA approved non-invasive treatment for excessive fat, wrinkles, and rhytids. This procedure utilizes monopolar radio frequency energy on the multiple skin layers for the treatment of various symptoms.
At the Zhoy Vitality Center, our doctors work with you to devise a specialized medical weight loss plan that meets your individual needs. Our team utilizes a holistic and comprehensive approach to weight reduction. Some of our services include pharmaceutical grade nutritional supplements, nutritional counseling, individualized low calorie diet, nutritional detoxification, and specialized testing. In order to understand medical weight loss, we would like to tell you about the latest medical research. Find out about the benefits of medical weight loss, what's involved in long-term weight loss maintenance, and why you should choose medical weight loss over commercial and self-help programs.

Recently our company moved from SolidWorks to Autodesk Inventor (mostly because of the integration of the components of the Design Suite). Overall, the Inventor workflow is very similar to the one in SolidWorks and I find no significant difference between the two programs.
However, Autodesk Inventor offers the option to create drawings as IDW or DWG files. I would like to know why you would prefer one over the other one: everything I need to do seems to be doable in the IDW files. Are the DWG files present for compatibility with AutoCAD users only or are there other advantages? Is AutoCAD more flexible and thus it would be preferrable to do the drawings of Inventor parts in AutoCAD? What are the advantages of one format/workflow over the over one?
Thank you for your suggestions.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Oh, the more you use it the more differences you will find.
The difference between .idw and .dwg is the .dwg is a more compatible format for Autocad directly out of
Inventor where as the .idw is a direct parametricly created drawing from Inventor.
Hope this makes sense to you.
Thank for the comment. So it boils down only to compatibility with AutoCAD? Any advantage in using IDW?
Hi giovanni79,
For the most part they are the same with some differences here and there.
It largely depends on the needs of your company. If you have then need to hand drawings to another department that uses only AutoCAD, then there might be an advantage to using an Inventor DWG. But you could also just Save off a copy of a IDW as an AutoCAD DWG or DXF, just as you might have done with SWx.
No, you'll be better off to detail the drawings in Inventor.
* Inventor DWG file size is larger for the same drawing saved as an IDW
* You can use AutoCAD block in Inventor DWGs, but not IDWs.
* more mentioned below...
Autodesk Inventor supports IDW and DWG file types for drawings. Both file types produce identical drawings. IDW files are the native Inventor format. You can open them only in Inventor or Inventor View. This file type results in smaller file sizes.
The DWG file type is native to AutoCAD®. You can open DWG files in AutoCAD, Inventor, or DWG TrueView. If you create data using Inventor in a DWG file, you can modify the data only with Inventor. If you create data using AutoCAD in a DWG file, you can modify the data only with AutoCAD. If a downstream consumer of your Inventor data needs a DWG file, consider using DWG files as the default in Inventor.
Keep in mind that if a year from now you realize that one format or the other would work better than what you're using, you can batch convert the files to other file type using the Task Scheduler.
I hope this helps.
Best of luck to you in all of your Inventor pursuits,
Did you find this reply helpful ? If so please use the Accept as Solution or Kudos button below.
The advantage of an IDW is that is the parametric drawing that is created right out of Inventor when you
place views from your model. It is the direct drawing link to the model.
The IDW to Inventor is like the .slddrw in Solidworks.

The IDW to Inventor is like the .slddrw in Solidworks.
Inventor DWG's are also parametrically linked to the models.
We use Inventor and ACAD. We use .idw's for Inventor and .dwg files for ACAD. This shows instantly whether the drawing is a parametrically linked file to a part or assembly, or a 2D generation from ACAD just by looking at the file extension. Just something we found handy.
Many users would be hard pressed to spot the difference between an idw and an Inventor dwg file while editing in Inventor.
I've decided on making Inventor dwg as the standard. Yes the file is somewhat bigger in size because every view is stored as an autocad block, but the benefits outweigh that.
For example, I have a drawing of a huge assembly, thousands of parts. An engineer wants to have a look at the drawing, measure up a few things, etc.
With Inventor idw, he/she would open up that drawing in Inventor, which would then try to load the entire dataset into memory, worth 100's of MB, taking ages and potentially a whole bunch of missing file references and intimidating warnings along the way.
With Inventor dwg, he/she would open a single file worth just a few MB's in AutoCAD, which is an exact representation of the model in its last saved state, which would open very quickly, and can be navigated and measured in with ease.
Because we still have a mixed setup with top level assemblies in 2D AutoCAD, but parts/subassemblies in Inventor, up-to-date blocks of these Inventor components can be quickly inserted into the 2D AutoCAD file. These blocks can even be kept up to date with the help of Design Centre, though admittedly this is not the smoothest of workflows.
Interesting that it has been mentioned at least twice that the file size is larger for DWG, I have done a lot of comparisons and have found consistently that DWG file size is smaller….
However I concede that will depend on the typical way in which you represent your engineering drawings, if the drawing is a plain line drawing with no colour graphics the file size is less than half typ 2.4 mb IDW to 0.9mb DWG, as soon as you add textures colours the opposite (ish) happens 2.4mb IDW to 3.8mb DWG. Presumably the graphic information is stored as a raster image in the AutoCAD file which would make the file a lot larger than purely vector information.
-edit - on larger assemblies with sufficient vector information this scale can tip and the DWG's will become larger, my survey was based on smaller part drawings.
I would like to hear views to back up this for or aginst of course this is just my sumamising based on the drawings I have had available.
One of the main reasons I have for using DWG's is you can use any DWG viewer /Compatible CAD programme to view the drawings, which would mean not having to use Inventor View! Which has the odd teething trouble when installing every year.

Town Square
Are helmets the law for scooters/skateboards?
Original post made by Mom on Mar 24, 2008
on Mar 24, 2008 at 9:25 pm
The police and a law don't substitute for lack of parent's influence and control over their 15 year old son. I know it ain't easy, but it's your job. You and your husband are his enablers.
Take my response as offered to be meant constructive. Your post radiates the message that your kid controls and influences you more than you do him and you are looking for external forces to help to solve your problem for you.
He crashes and ends up brain dead will be something you will need to live with.
Maybe some other posters can help with advice that worked for them.
Personally, I can't imagine police resources allocated to this because in your own words you have "recently given in to his pleas".
on Mar 25, 2008 at 12:52 am
Have you ever heard the saying "it takes a village"? I'm looking for a little help here and I welcome constructive input. I WANT my teenager in a helmet everytime he goes out on his board, but I am not having much luck on my own, so I implore others to get on board with this helmet thing. Your post is judgemental and I find it totally unhelpful, but thanks for trying. Frank- you mention my husband and I will let you know that my husband passed away 2 years ago and I am doing this on my own. Yes, I need some "external forces" to help. I am on this forum writing because I am a pro-active parent who cares. My son is not running the show, you can rest assured of that.
I agree, as a parent, I ultimately make the rules, but lets face it- he makes his own decisions. Have you ever had a 15 year old? I am not looking for opinions on my parenting style, but rather an answer to my question. Does anyone know if it is a law that the kids wear helmets when skateboarding/scootering? If it is indeed the law, then I would love to see our "village" get on board with supporting and enforcing the law, including the police (AKA "law enforcement").
on Mar 25, 2008 at 7:18 am
You say "then I would love to see our village". Love your Son, take away his skateboard. You are not looking for opinions on your parenting style? Here's some advice, you are on the defensive Mom. Get some help. Any answer, from this forum, would do you no good. Your not there yet.

Compact gauge guard for corrosive liquids
January 10, 2006
All-thermoplastic, compact gauge guard for corrosive liquids is now available. Series GGME is a compact, 1-3/8-inch-high seal that isolates gauges and other instruments from a chemical process. The barrier seal transmits pressure with an accuracy of ±4 percent. The compact size is ideal for space-limited applications. Design is based on an ultrasonically-welded, uni-body construction with a natural polypropylene connection on the process side. This design prevents occurrence of dangerous leaks, and precludes rupture of the diaphragm seal even if the gauge is accidentally removed. Polypropylene provides excellent chemical compatibility and is suitable for process temperatures to 185 degrees F.

News: Rick Ross Shows Up W/ Wifey Weeks After They Dodged Gunfire
Wednesday, Feb 13, 2013 11:15AM
Maybach Music Group leader Rick Ross appears comfortable roaming the streets once again weeks after nearly losing his life to gunfire and appeared at alleged love interest Shateria Moragne-el's fashion show this week.
Photos of Ricky Rozay and Moragne-el along with a tweet from the "Boss" himself have started to circulate online.
Straight from the Grammys, Rick Ross was front row at Shateria Moragne-el's runway show during New York Fashion Week on Tuesday. The Maybach Music founder has been romantically linked to the designer, who was riding shotgun in his Rolls-Royce during last month's drive-by shooting. The Bawse looked dapper in a coat and collared shirt while smoking a cigar and sipping wine alongside Waka Flocka Flame, Trina, and Toya Wright. "Only fat ni**a sitting Frontrow at the fashion show," tweeted Rozay, whose sixth album Mastermind is due this summer. (Rap-Up)
Shortly after last month's Fort Lauderdale, Florida shooting, the fashion designer's identity surfaced.
8:45 AM PT -- Cops have now confirmed Ross was driving the Rolls-Royce at the time of the crash. The passenger was Shateria L. Moragne-el -- who is reportedly dating the rapper. Cops say neither party suffered any injuries. The suspects fled from the scene before cops arrived on scene. (TMZ)
During the Grammy Awards, Ross briefly spoke on what took place and why he had no intention of changing his entire lifestyle up despite dodging death.
"Not at all, not at all," Ross said when asked if there were any new developments since last month's shooting. "No suspects and we're not here to speculate on any suspects. I'm just staying positive, I'm moving forward and I'm just staying on top of my game. MMG. We got the biggest releases of the year, this year, coming. That's my focus and I'm here -- you most definitely got to make some adjustments [to your security] but at the same time, I'm gonna live my life and do what I love to do and that's make music." (MTV)
Handfuls of entertainers have reacted to Rick's headline-generating shooting, including Maybach Music Group's own Wale.
"I think the whole thing's been blown up," Wale said about Ross' shooting. "I think the media, you know, is perpetuating a lot of things, God forbid something happen to anybody then they're going to be playing people's records all day and acting like [they cared]. ... It's a joke to y'all because you see somebody on TV everyday but what if that's your friend, 'cause that's my friend. I was talking to him last night about the football game so what y'all think is a joke, that's somebody's health. I know his children. You know what I'm saying? God forbid something happens -- and I just lost one of my brothers so I don't even play around with that stuff." ("Streez Morning Grind")

The City of Reno, continuing its support of the arts, dedicated a new landmark art sculpture at the Meadowood exchange at the northwest corner of South Virginia Street.
The sculpture, created by artist Mark Szulgit, was constructed with repurposed materials donated by the Reno Sparks Visitors and Convention Authority. The project was funded through the Public Art Fund (room tax dollars allocated for public art), Ward 2 Central and South Neighborhood Advisory Boards along with private donations from citizens, including a major donation from the William Thornton Family and Cultural Arts Foundation of the Community Foundation of Western Nevada. Reno Iron Works installed the sculpture and Black Rock Solar donated a solar array to light it.
"The City of Reno is very cognizant of how public art enhances our civic spaces and reflects positively on our city in the eyes of both visitors and residents," remarked Art Domagala, Chair of the Reno Arts and Culture Commission. "The Reno Star is a very significant project because it not only creates a new public landmark, but highlights Reno as a place where art thrives and has a strong positive influence in our community."
Many travelers come to Reno to tour the City's $3.7 million collection of public art. The collection is curated to include examples of many different genres and styles from representational to abstract and a variety of materials which provide our citizens and visitors with a diverse collection.

Boxing: Weaver relishing bout on home canvas
Updated 7:30pm Sunday 9th February 2014 in Sport By Andy Mitchell
RISING star Iain Weaver hopes his bout in Bournemouth can be the prelude to a title tilt as he hits the comeback trail next month.
The Ferndown fighter, 24, had considered contesting the vacant World Boxing Union European Featherweight title before being hampered by a hand injury over the festive period.
But despite the setback, 'The Blessed One' announced he would take to the ring for his first professional fight in Dorset on the undercard of Steve Bendall's bill at the Bournemouth International Centre on Saturday, March 15.
Weaver will take on Ghanaian Michael Ansah in a six-round clash as he looks to extend his perfect record of five victories since stepping up from the amateur ranks last year.
Ansah has a record of nine wins and two draws from 14 professional outings with seven of his successes secured by knockout, but Weaver insists he has nothing to fear and remains as determined as ever to put on a show in his hometown.
He told the Daily Echo: "It is hard for people to see what I am capable of when so many of my fights are taking place abroad.
"They are not able to see the progression I am making as a professional. I just want to let the crowd see first-hand what I am doing and, hopefully, I can put on a good show.
"He (Ansah) must be a bit of a puncher but I have fought a lot of Ghanaians so it's just a case of getting in there and doing what I have to do."
On being offered the chance to fight for a belt, Weaver added: "If I had been in full training since Christmas then I would probably have gone for it.
"It is important to find the right fights to get myself up the rankings but I have only had five fights so I am not in any major rush."
- For tickets – which are priced from £25-70 – or sponsorship packages, contact Bendall on 07855 942151 or Weaver on 07867 382890. The BIC box office starts selling tickets tomorrow.

Every election year, thousands of Ohio ballots are not counted. Through Election Day The Enquirer will examine Ohios electoral system and how individuals can safeguard their vote, a right addressed by more constitutional provisions than any other issue today.
COLUMBUS — Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted Thursday unveiled a new program that will allow registered voters to update their address online, a plan expected to simplify Election Day by substantially reducing the number of troublesome provisional ballots cast.
Hailing it as a step toward making Ohio elections more accessible, accurate and secure, Husted said the new method for updating registrations also will cut costs and minimize errors by voters and election officials mistakes that routinely disqualify tens of thousands of ballots statewide.
Voters will be very comfortable and frankly have come to expect these kinds of services, Husted said at a news conference in his office. But with this convenience, we want to make sure that security is also a priority, and thats what weve done.
The new online plan found at www.MyOhioVote.com and on county boards of elections websites comes as The Enquirer conducts an in-depth examination of the states electoral procedures, launched last month, focusing in particular on the considerable problems caused by provisional ballots. Provisional ballots are cast when there are questions over a voters registration, often after a move.
In the 2008 presidential election, nearly 207,000 provisional ballots were cast statewide, of which about 40,000 were rejected.
Had Husteds new program patterned after online plans in 10 other states been in place in 2008, an estimated 130,000 people who cast provisional ballots instead could have voted a regular ballot, which is much more likely to ultimately be counted.
There will be more provisional ballots (in November) because it is a presidential election, Husted said. But we can reduce that amount if voters take advantage of this tool.
The most common reason that voters must cast a provisional ballot is failure to update their address prior to the registration deadline this year, Oct. 9. Confusion over address changes often results in many voters casting provisional ballots in the wrong precinct at the right polling location.
Under the new plan, an Ohioan already registered to vote may update an address online by providing four sources of identification:
Name, which must be entered exactly as it appears on his or her Ohio drivers license.
The full Ohio drivers license number.
Date of birth.
Last four digits of the persons Social Security number.
After providing that information, voters will receive a tracking number that can be used to verify that the updated registration was properly processed. Local elections boards also will send out notices confirming the change in address and listing the voters new polling place and precinct.
Voters unable to meet the identification requirements still could use the online program to print out a change of address form that must be signed and submitted to their county board of elections.
By scaling back the staff time needed for elections board workers to manually enter changes of addresses on registration rolls, online update plans have enabled other states to save from 50 cents to $1.50 per voter, Husted said. Computerized data that comes directly from voters also eliminates the possibility of officials making typing mistakes or other errors while processing paper updates.
Hamilton County Democratic Party chairman Tim Burke, who also serves on the county elections board, praised Husteds move as a helpful development and step toward giving everyone a chance to cast a vote that counts.
However, Burke also contrasted Husteds new initiative with his recent decisions blocking extra night and weekend voting hours in some large urban counties that typically vote Democratic even as other counties with Republican leanings have approved plans to expand their hours in the final weeks before the Nov. 6 election. The Hamilton County board is scheduled to debate that issue next week.
I just wish the secretary was uniform in easing the procedures and opening up the process, because by opposing early voting hours being expanded, hes not being consistent, Burke said.
Husted cast tie-breaking votes against expanding voting hours in Cuyahoga (Cleveland), Franklin (Columbus) and Summit (Akron) counties after their respective elections boards deadlocked 2-2, with Democrats favoring the extra hours and Republicans opposed. One of his major motivations in doing so, Husted said, was not to burden counties facing tight budgets with increased election administration costs.
He also reiterated Thursday that another new program whereby absentee ballot applications will be mailed to every registered voter in Ohio will provide individuals more than 750 hours to vote this fall. And you dont even have to leave home to do it, Husted said.
Absentee ballots carry some risk of creating provisional ballots. People who complete the application and receive absentee ballots, dont use them and show up at the polls would be required to cast provisional ballots.
Like Burke, state Rep. Alicia Reece, D-Bond Hill, mixed praise for Husteds new program with questions about its limitations.
Many of my constituents do not have access to computers ... and will still show up on Election Day to change their address and vote as Ohio law allows, Reece said. Its the secretary of states duty to count everyones votes, not just those who are Internet-savvy.

Washington Times Herald
WASHINGTON — At approximately 4 p.m. Sunday, the Washington Police Department received a 911 call about a missing five year old child at Eastside Park.
The child, who was actually four years old, was located in the water of the overflow area of Baumert Lake near the park pavilion around 4:08 p.m. CPR was given and the child, David E. Weathers, was transported to Daviess Community Hospital of Southwest Medical where the child was later pronounced dead.
The investigation into the drowning continues, but Police Chief Mike Healy said the drowning appeared to be accidental.
"It is something no family should ever have to go through and our hearts go out to them," said Healy.

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE)
What is it?
Arthritis is a complex family of musculoskeletal disorders consisting of more than 100 different diseases or conditions that destroy joints, bones, muscles, cartilage and other connective tissues, hampering or halting physical movement. Lupus is one of many disorders of the immune system known as autoimmune diseases. In autoimmune diseases, the immune system turns against the body it's designed to protect for unknown reasons. Most often when people speak of lupus, they are speaking of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and it is what this article primarily is about. SLE is an inflammatory, autoimmune disease that affects nearly every organ system in the body, including the skin, joints, kidneys, heart, lungs, and central nervous system. SLE is only one type of lupus.
What are the effects?
There are myriad symptoms associated with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE or lupus). Every organ system is affected and each system can be affected in different ways. Fatigue is one of the most prominent and life-affecting symptoms. Nearly everyone with lupus experiences fatigue, and it can be debilitating. Pacing your activities and getting adequate rest can help to ease fatigue and not allow it to take over your day. Joint pain, another prominent symptom, is what most commonly initiates the first doctor visit.
How is it diagnosed?
Because systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE or lupus) affects so many different organ systems and because different symptoms are manifest at different times, the diagnosis of lupus can take a long time and may be frustrating for both you and your doctor. When diagnosing lupus, it is important to rule out other diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, that have similar features. Your doctor may complete a family and medical history, do a physical exam, take x-rays and complete laboratory tests in order to diagnose you.
What are the treatment options?
The treatment plan for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE or lupus) starts with teaching yourself about the disease and about ways you can help yourself and help your doctor. Make sure your doctor knows about any other diseases or conditions that you have, because they may affect your lupus symptoms or the medications that can be prescribed. Likewise, be sure your doctor knows about all the medications you take (prescription and over the counter), as well as all the vitamins and supplements you take. A well-rounded treatment plan may include medications, diet and exercise.
What resources are available?
The Arthritis Foundation leads the way in helping people with arthritis live better today and create better tomorrows through new treatments, better access and, ultimately, cures. We do this by:
- Funding life-changing research that has restored mobility in patients for more than six decades
- Fighting for health care policies that improve the lives of the millions of Americans with arthritis
- Partnering with families to provide empowering programs and information
If you are diagnosed with lupus, some Arthritis Foundation resources that may help you better manage and live with your disease are:
- Learn more about arthritis treatments.
- Discover ways to make living with arthritis easier.
- Understand the causes of pain and the best ways to manage it.
- Discover what is happening with arthritis research.
- Help researchers find more effective treatments.
- Tell Congress more needs to be done for people with arthritis.

BROCKPORT — Plattsburgh State scored three runs in the bottom of the third inning Thursday to pull ahead of Geneseo and then stayed in front the rest of the way to open the SUNY Athletic Conference softball tournament with a 7-4 win.
The third-seeded Cardinals gave up two runs in the first inning and another in the top of the third to fall behind 3-2.
"At that point we had let the runs come in, and we were sick of it and decided to take charge," Plattsburgh coach Stephanie Zweig said. "We did well offensively all day; we were consistent. Every time Genseo scored, we came back."
Plattsburgh (23-14) will meet No. 2 seed Cortland this morning.
After doubling to lead off the third, Brianna Clarke scored on Megan Price's single to tie the game. Then Samantha Capobianco doubled in the go-ahead, and the Cardinals added another run on a fielder's choice to make it 5-3.
Plattsburgh scored on an error in the fourth, and Brittany Marshall drove in another run in the sixth.
Ashley Marshall pitched the whole game, striking out 10, walking one and giving up six hits.
Capobianco went 2-for-3 with two RBI, and Brittany Marshall was 3-for-4 with an RBI and two runs scored.
"Brittany did a little bit of what we're used to seeing from her; she was able to get on base whatever way she could," Zweig said. Sam Cap being a DP, that's her job — to get hits. She did what we needed in a good spot."
Price also had two hits and two RBI for Plattsburgh.
Corrin Spallone allowed 10 hits while striking out three and walking two for the fourth-seeded Blue Knights (20-19).
Cortland stayed in the winners bracket by defeating No. 5 seed New Paltz 5-2. Top-seeded Brockport was upset by No. 6 seed Oswego 9-0 in the morning but stayed alive by beating New Paltz in the last game of the day.
