Cleaning Cedar Lake
Updated: Thursday, July 24 2014, 09:57 PM CDT
CEDAR RAPIDS, IA (CBS2/FOX28) - The Cedar Lake will soon be a dead lake, if it doesn't get cleaned up, according to a group of concerned Cedar Rapids residents the Friends of Cedar Lake.
The Friends of Cedar Lake want to formally ask the city of Cedar Rapids to extend the greenway project -- and the deal with local architecture firm Confluence -- to include the area around the lake and increase recreation options there.
The group also wants the city and the lake's owners, Alliant Energy, to work together on decreasing pollution in the area.
"It has been a blessing to talk to so many people who love the lake, and have a long time. You know, fished there with their grandfather, or we take our kids biking there every weekend," said Friends of Cedar Lake outreach chair Felicia Wyrick.
It is that same level of investment that the Friends of Cedar Lake are asking Alliant Energy and Cedar Rapids to make. The lake has a big build up of sediment in it, Wyrick said, which could be potentially toxic, but remains untested. That sediment also takes up space, and can exacerbate flooding.
"Those problems will just continue to increase," Wyrick said.
So the group wants to do a hydrology study, and they want to start applying for federal and state grants to add more recreation options and decrease pollution, but they have to wait. They need permission from Alliant Energy to either act as a funnel for government funds into city coffers, or to sell the lake back to Cedar Rapids altogether.
That is still a point of indecision for Alliant, representatives of which continue to attend Friends of Cedar Lake meetings and are active in discussions with Cedar Rapids.
"I think we continue to work with the city to improve the amenities the best we can, given the circumstances, and will continue to do so as these discussions continue," said Alliant spokesperson Ryan Stensland.
Without action, however, the lake will become a mess in the middle of town, Wyrick said.
"Is that really what we want in the heart of our city? Is that really what we want 80,000 commuters on 380 to have as the first impression of our community? I don't think we do," she said.
This fall, Alliant is set to demolish the power plant it once operated on the land by the lake.
The Friends of Cedar Lake say, they are hoping that once those priorities get straightened out, all entities can move forward together.

Let's Get Started!Mix, match and layer multiple blush hues for a unique, personalized look! STEP 1 Press the Power Button on the top of your AIRcompressor. You'll feel air flowing through the tip of the AIRpod.STEP 2 Turn the Dial to 3 o'clock – the optimal setting for a flawless AIRpod Blush application. Hold your AIRbrush like a pencil, pointed downward, 4-6 inches away.STEP 3 Gently pulling back on the Trigger and moving in small circular motions, start at the apples of your cheeks, sweeping upward towards the temple. PRO TIP: Say cheese! Smile to pronounce the apples of your cheeks. STEP 4 Build in sheer layers for a more dramatic flush.
If you are very neutral (ivory-to-bronze), Nude Pink and Sheer Berry are the best combination. Because any thing else would be too heathered (gray) or too yellow. I think the blushes should come in perfect pairs. Read my build-your-own review....
I own a few of these blushes...however the Blushing coral has my heart. I'm Latina, dark hair and that blush makes me cheeks stand out... when i say stand out, i mean I look classy and just radiant...Flawless!...
The color on here does this wonder color no justice! I can put it on light or dark and get so many looks from this one color. It even looked amazing on my mom! I love it!!...

Yes he is often hurt and looking for a paycheck. Bad signing by the Rangers doubt if he finishes the season with them.
Originally written on Fangraphs | Last updated 11/20/14
After watching Josh Hamilton sign with their division rival, the Rangers made a move this weekend to replace his bat in their line-up, signing Lance Berkman to take over as their DH for 2013. Much is being made of the fact that Berkman got $11 million after spending basically the entire 2012 ...
2 Comments:
Berkman is a little older than Hamilton, and costs about half of what the Angles will pay Hamilton. Berkman has been steady many seasons as far as staying in the lineup, but not last year. If he can hit from the lefthand side well in their park he could be a decent replacement for Hamilton. Hamilton is lefthanded, and hit well there. The fact that he switch hits will help him stay in the lineup against top lefties, but very few guys can hit like JH does when he is hot. I think Berkman for 1 season is a good deal for himself and the Rangers. IMO if Berkman can stay healthy he may put up numbers comparible to what Hamilton will with the LAA, because Hamilton hasn't been overwhelming there in the past.

Customer Raves & Reviews
Very Happy
Simply Smitten Save the Date Magnets I recently ordered the Simply Smitten magnets for my Save the Dates and am very happy with the product. I was surprised how great the quality of the magnets are for such an affordable price. I would definitely recommend buying some samples first because the color may be a little different than what you see on your computer screen.
Loved our magnet save-the-dates!
Simply Smitten Save the Date Magnets We couldn't choose between 2 designs that we loved, so we ordered half of each Love Airways & Simply Smitten. Love them! great photo printing quality, and everyone loved the magnets! To begin with, we personalized 4 of them and did the "Just One" order. I needed bilingual save-the-dates, and MagnetStreet was the only online company which let me customize them enough to fit all of my text on. MagnetStreet sent us their colour palette which helped us know what the colours really looked like. They were quick and efficient, and gave us our "Just One" credit back to use for our real order. We received our big order very quickly and are more than satisfied with the service. Would definitely recommend!
Beautiful magnet
Simply Smitten Save the Date Magnets Easy to customize design. Great picture quality. Highly recommend this product
Great Save the Date Magnets!
Simply Smitten Save the Date Magnets I am so happy with the Save the Date magnets that I ordered from Magnet Street. Their personalization tool online was so easy to use and gave a variety of color and design options. I also looked at ordering from other websites and none of them let me customize nearly as much, and if they did, they didn't allow me to see what it would look like once it was customized like Magnet Street did. Magnet Street had so many unique and beautiful designs to choose from and they all came at a great price. Once I ordered the Save the Dates they personally called me to let me know that my photo was a little small and might look blurry, and made sure that I had a chance to send them another photo before printing. The Save the Dates arrived much quicker than I had expected and they looked perfect! The magnets were thick and high quality but not heavy enough to need any additional postage, which was so important to me. The included envelopes were high quality as well, and they were the perfect size. Our family and friends have all been commenting on how much they love the Save the Dates and how happy they are that we did a magnet instead of a card so they don't lose it! I will definitely be ordering the rest of our wedding stationary from Magnet Street and letting all my friends who are getting married know about them as well.
Save the date magnets
Simply Smitten Save the Date Magnets The save the dates magnet street offers come in a variety if shapes and size. My fiancé and I were easily able to select and design the one that worked best for us. Annnnnnd they were shipped and delivered super fast!!

Socket to 'em: It's the HomeGrid vs HomePlug powerline prizefight
"Two standards, both alike in dignity, In fair Vegas, where we lay our scene, From ancient grudge break to new mutiny, Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean." The backers of rival next-generation in-home mains power networking standards may not have come to physical blows in defence of their favoured technologies, but …
Ok so it took me ages to realise that the odd tweet-counter-looking thing was a link to the comments. Enough with the secret sauce, guys!
The phasing issue the first illustration highlights is uniquely american. It's extremely rare for a domestic supply to have two phases and a neutral to the breaker box. You will see blocks of flats and apartments getting two phases but the individual breaker boxes all have a single phase. Even a lot of commercial isntallations will only have one phase.
Am I the only one that thinks using the CPC as a signalling wire is asking for serious trouble? The whole point of protective conductor is that it only carries current if you have a fault condition in order protect the installation and facilitate ending that fault condition. Quite apart from the possibility of tripping breakers for "no reason", sending signals down the CPC is deliberately introducing a fault current into all the exposed metalwork in the entire installation. A system like that will kill people sooner or later. I don't care if they're saying there's some limit on the current - it only takes one overcurrent at the right time.
And of course the liability for that falls not on the owner, or even the person who sold them the plug, but on whoever installed and inspected the installation.
"Ok so it took me ages to realise that the odd tweet-counter-looking thing was a link to the comments. Enough with the secret sauce, guys!"
Took me the time it takes to hover the mouse pointer over the graphic.
? Functional earth ? Used everywhere. Most earth wires carry unwanted current which can kill.
The reason I mentioned the circuit protective conductor specifically and not just "the earth" is because the illustration shows the CPC being used as a signalling bus, which introduces a fault current, which potentially triggers fuses and RCDs and makes the system dangerous in the process. Functional earth isn't connected to the circuit protective conductor and nor should it be - and neither is a functional earth used to protect circuits or prevent the living of exposed metal parts. It's completely irrelevant to what I said because I was talking about protective earthing. And if you can show me a protective conductor that's carrying current in allegedly non-fault conditions I'll be very surprised, because it's both highly illegal and extremely dangerous.
Now for the fun bit!
The USA and other places with similar electrical codes are the only place you could use Neutral/CPC like this.
However, many local US jurisdictions now require 5mA GFCI (RCD) circuit breakers in domestic properties - which will definitely trip if a device did this!
(We use 30mA here)
In other words, the only place you could use this - you can't!
The diagram shown is indeed uniquely American. Most would call it bi-phase - the two Lives are 180 deg apart, each 120VAC to Neutral and thus 240VAC from each other. It's done with a centre-tapped transformer, usually very close to the house.
It's also common to have few domestic appliances using both phases - eg tumble driers, ovens.
There are more crazy things over there - "wild-leg" 3-phase is probably the most insane...
Split phase
I'm looking at that and shaking my head. It's not two phase but split phase which is single phase. Connect the two hots and you get 220 single phase.
This will inject noise into the ground of most American houses. I would not advise having audio equipment any were near this stuff.
new role as embedded networking in 'smart' devices.
I think I would base my choice of tech on the TV manufactures choice. Once I had chosen a so called smart tv, I would then purchase my fridge microwave etc etc on the tech in the TV.
FprEN50561-1:2012 is not a standard!
FprEN50561-1:2012 is not a standard, it is still a draft that fails to meet the 'essential requirements' of the EMC Directive. It will not be adopted by the European Commission until it does meet the requirements. In the meantime, EN55022 Part B (residential usage) is still the applicable testing-standard for PLT. Of course, PLT manufacturers will continue to lie on their 'Declarations of Conformity' and claim compliance to incorrect testing-standards (EN55022 Part A - Industrial use only, not for domestic usage!) and non-existent "standards".
Re: FprEN50561-1:2012 is not a standard!
By definition it will never meet EMC standards, but a suitably subsantial bung to offcom will deal with that.
I cant really decide if having 2 different standards of stupid is a step forward or back
Re: FprEN50561-1:2012 is not a standard!
It's a step. That's all that matters.
Celebrate progress! Another step! Onwards to the bright future! It's different!
Re: FprEN50561-1:2012 is not a standard!
Moving towards an inadequately regulated electromagnetic environment in the home where things can no longer be near guaranteed to coexist in harmony doesn't seem very wise to me. Throwing RF around unbalanced and unscreened cables is a wholly flawed idea, requiring an equally flawed specification. Has anyone seem adaptive notching in a product? No? I didn't think so because the cost of implentation would be too high.
What is good for the goose is good for the gander. If I was in the business of manufacturing LED lighting, SMPSU wall-warts etc, I'd be clapping my hands because I would design to EMC levels laid down in prEN50561 and argue that it is just as relevant to my products as PLT and save a shedload of cash by not fitting supression components. The upshot? No more EMC.
People can navel-gaze and whitter on about EMC and PLT being a problem for radio amateurs, but they fail to understand the real scenario. These things have been demonstrated to knock out FM and DAB radio and are of concern to the CAA and GCHQ. A colleague had an issue with LED lighting killing his DAB radio and in the early days of BT's peddling of PLT, they were seen to knock out their own users 27MHz wireless keyboards!
I have had to replace a number of switching PSU's supplied with equipment for linear ones because of interference to HF. Set Top Box PSU's are particularly awful. This is the tip of the iceberg and I am watching with great interest, waiting to hear the whines of fail from people whose radios, TV's or whatever begin to suddenly stop working.
Caveat emptor :)
Re: FprEN50561-1:2012 is not a standard!
Can it ever meet RF requirements demanded of "normal" equipment? By design it's a transmitter with a dirty great big aerial.
MIMO over Earth.
That'll go down like a lead balloon in much of Europe.
In many countries, even fairly recent build houses commonly have two pin sockets. Those sockets that do offer an earth connection are often earthed to the nearest available water pipe or to a ground pin immediatly outside the nearest exterior wall, rather than there being a contiguous earth circuit around the house.
Re: MIMO over Earth.
In many countries, that neutral line eventually connects to earth as well. If that connection is far enough away it might work, but in Oz that is often at the pole down the street - especially in the outback.
Re: MIMO over Earth.
How would this effect Voltage Operated Earth Leakage Circuit Breakers (VOELCB)?
These devices were mainly used with overhead supplies with TT earthing (an earth rod in the ground as opposed to having earth supplied by your power supply company), and although they are not installed any more there are still plenty of them in service - most of the house with overhead power around here have them.
They detect a voltage on the earth wire and if present will switch off the supply. They need to be fairly sensitive to work quickly enough to be safe.
I've often wondered about the security of powerline devices.
How do you firewall you mains incomer? What stops your neighbours (the ones on the same phase as you) connecting to your network?
Re: I've often wondered about the security of powerline devices.
AES pairing between devices and being on a separate electrical circuit usually does the trick
Re: I've often wondered about the security of powerline devices.
Normally the powerline devices will pair with the first two devices, once you add more I've had to press the button or tell the atheos software to pair additional ones (Solwise ones I use)
Re: I've often wondered about the security of powerline devices.
The most effective thing to do is to insert an isolating transformer between your installation and the public grid. Another method is to wrap the incomer around a metal toroid which will block the higher frequency components.
Non-obviously it is possible to couple from one set of cables to another, so your neighbour could put a transmitter on their side of the wall and turn the power up...
Re: I've often wondered about the security of powerline devices.

You do realise that a common-mode choke rated at 100A would be the size of a fridge and require a sturdy concrete base? That will be the only way to stop conducted emissions from PLT in other houses!
Non-obviously it is possible to couple from one set of cables to another, so your neighbour could put a transmitter on their side of the wall and turn the power up...
You and your neighbour are likely to be connected to the same phase and neutral from the 3-phase in the street. It is only a matter of time before someone engages in a little neighbourly social-engineering and connects their PLT devices to their neighbour's. People do not understand how to secure their Wi-Fi or their routers, so PLT will be an easy target, AES256, or not!
Re: I've often wondered about the security of powerline devices.
I have used Devolo devices for a number of years.
When I lived in a block of flats, I secured the devices using Devolo's bundled utilities, one of which allows you to secure all of your devices and prevent others from using your network.
I have no idea if I actually needed to do this, but I do know from experience that others using Devolo devices were not able to use my Internet connection (my next-door neighbor).
I dont know if it is safe to assume that other vendors devices also use the same type of security.
Earth-Neutral bonded
Some installations in the UK have the earth wire bonded to neutral at the point of entry to the premises. So to get any signal down the earth wire is going to need an appreciable amount of power. So these things will be hotter (more wasted energy) and more noisy.
Crud generators.
It doesn't matter which system they use - ALL homeplug/PLT devices work by injecting large amounts of radio frequency noise onto the domestic wiring, and ALL cause large-area radio interference. It's only about a year since my hobby (amateur radio) was completely stopped by just one pair of these devices installed along the road. Luckily, the fellow was genuinely horrified when I demonstrated what his PLT's were doing and he stopped using them. These things need banning, and quick.
Re: Crud generators.
Which "hobby" is more deserving?
Re: Crud generators.
Which "hobby" is more deserving?
The one that requires considerable technical study and examinations in order to obtain a licence from the government; plus the ability to set-up emergency communication-links during local/national/international disasters. My radios and aerials can cover anything from 20km around my home, to 2000km away in another country. Can your precious PLT answer the call for help?
Re: Crud generators.
Well no, but by the same token it won't sit there smelling of unwashed crusty radio HAM and talking about the finer points of Klingon etiquette in the 99.999999999% of time that emergencies aren't happening.
How many lives have you saved?
Re: Crud generators.
The difference is that PLT devices prevent innocent radio amateurs and short wave listeners from persuing their hobby, but short wave listeners and radio amateurs don't stop computer users from enjoying their activities. PLT is by definition destructive and selfish. A kind of 'I'm alright Jack' device.
Re: Crud generators.
These PLT crap RFI "terror"-generators needs to be removed from the market because they create a huge amount of RFI-problems for all radio users, including blocking DAB and FM. They are basically illegal devices that do not meet the essential requirements of the EMC-directive. Also, they do not comply with EN55022 class B limits. Regarding amateur radio as a hobby (as some like to point out as a reason that makes it less important than streaming data or watching a RFI generating Plasma-TV etc.) does not mean that the essential requirements of the EMC directive 2004/108/EC is cancelled. All electronic devices must follow responsible EMC design and meet the essential requiremets of the EMC-directive. And using a CAT-5/6 (preferably shielded) for your "hobby" data-network will solve the problem with RFI on HF completely. PLT is a totally unnecessary device creating nothing but troble (same story with Plasma-TV's). The final decision for FprEn50561-1 is held back by the EU commission EMC-expert that refuses to approv it, because it allows higher levels of RFI than any earlier standard. FprEN50561-1 is basically a flawed proposal that wants to allow 1000 times higher levels of RFI on HF. I say remove PLT from the market permanently ! We dont need it.
Re: Crud generators.
Five so far. Coming across auto accidents in areas where there was no cell coverage. One was a rollover accident where 4 of the 5 passengers were ejected. Resulted in 1 fatality and 3 airlifted to the hospital. The other was a head on collision with 1 fatality and 2 severely injured. In both cases ham radio cut the medical response time by 20-30 minutes. Look up "golden hour" to see how effective that can be.
Re: Crud generators.
What, is a 999 call from a landline too easy for you?
Re: Crud generators.
How do you reach your landline when you are stuck up a mountain with two broken ankles and no mobile phone signal? You had better hope the local Mountain Rescue radios are working, and not wiped out by non-EMC compliant junk electronics!
Re: Crud generators.
Mountain Rescue != Radio HAMs.
But nice try.
Basically, if you can set up a full HAM kit somewhere then you've got power. If you've got power, a landline isn't surprising. If you can't have a landline you'll probably have a satellite phone.
What you won't do is spend weeks upon weeks listening to static and truckers and growing a beard you could lose a goat in.
Re: Crud generators.
The amateur bands are provided via international treaties, new allocations are made on a fairly frequent basis, it isn't just about saving lives (although that has happened quite frequently) it's about encouraging people to learn about technology in a way that benefits the whole human race.
There are alternatives for high speed networking, eventually this will be wired into every property from the time its built. Spewing unwanted hash across the RF spectrum is not an acceptable method of bridging the gap until PLC is no longer needed, if the density of the devices goes up then it will become apparent that it isn't just the HF bands that are badly affected.
Re: Crud generators.
You might want to look at NVIS communications - Near Vertical Incident Skywave. It 's a propagation mode where you mount an antenna at near ground level and you launch your power vertically towards the ionosphere. The signal is then propagated back to earth and it's rather like an umbrella effect. Using a decent digital transmission mode (such as Olivia) you can resolve signals -13dB below the noise floor.
From my home in the Midlands, I can reliably communicate with other amateurs across the UK using these propagation and modulation modes and at low powers - sub 10W very easily. I have had contacts at nearly 1000km using 100mW.
I can very easily set up a full "HAM " kit anywhere. I don't need an external source of power and everything I need including a Toughbook computer, transceiver, antennas, modem, poles etc all fit in a bog-standard rucksack.
In deepest Wales where your phone is as much use as a one-legged man at an arse kicking competition and I have my kit with me, I will have comms where you don't.
The comments that you make about listening to static and truckers are so passe. We have heard it all before and just smacks of ignorance.
You might want to listen to this:
It is about the work that amateurs did 9/11 when emergency comms went off line.
Re: Crud generators.
"How many lives have you saved?"
A Ham with emergency broadcast capabilities is much like a spare tyre. Doesn't do anything useful to you for that 99.9'% of the time, but when you need it....thank god it's there.
Re: Crud generators.
"Basically, if you can set up a full HAM kit somewhere then you've got power."
Yeah, could be a Gennie, could be a lead-acid. Could be plugged into the lighter socket...
@heyrick Re: Crud generators.
You mean you don't have a landline trailed out behind your car wherever you go?
Re: Crud generators.
You do realize how hard it is to run CAT 5/6 in a lot of older buildings, right? That is the huge advantage PLT has over ethernet.
I completely disagree with you on Plasma TVs. They are superior to LCD TVs (and the so-called "LED" TVs) and I will continue buying them until something better comes along (hopefully OLED will show up one of these days and blow everything else away). I have not seen any radio interference from the Plasma (admittedly I also don't listen to FM much or operate a ham). Most microwaves put out far more interference than a Plasma TV.
Re: Crud generators.
Running CAT5 in older buildings is not impossible and can be done if you must. It may take drilling a few holes in a wall or two, but that is easy even in concrete walls. An electrician will do this easily, and the installation will look professional. Besides, CAT5 outperforms PLT so you will have a much faster network. Introduction of noisy RFI generators like PLT is not justified because of the terrible radio interference they create to nearby radio users/listeners. But of course, it is easy to dump the shit on someone innocent like your neighbour who might be a radio user, and then ignore the problem. A very decent way to behave......
Plasma-TV may have a better picture (regarding black levels, which is very black), but in the last few years the OLED or LED TV's have excellent picture quality, so now they outperforms Plasma-TV's. Take a look at the new Samsung 46" ES8005 LED series which is excellent. And they have no RFI problems and uses only 82w (very power efficient). Plasma-TV's uses twice that or more.
Plasma-TV's have huge problems with RFI, especially in the LW-MW and low HF frequency range.
Most of them does not comply with the essential requirements of the EMC directive 2004/108/EC.
Since there are no EMC-standard for RFI emitted directly from the Plasma screen below 30 MHz, the TV industry have ignored the problem, sending these RFI generators onto the market. Below 30 MHz there is only conducted emissions from the primary side of the TV power cable (AC mains), which is limited by EN55013 I believe. But in a test of RFI directly from the Plasma screen, most (if not all) plasma-TV's have strong RFI, even at 100 or 200 feet away from the TV. The videos abowe demonstrates a 47" Samsung plasma at 200 feet (60-70 meters) away from my wire antennas.
Re: Crud generators.
Twilight, you're assuming that the wiring in your older building will be up to the required standard. Often it isn't. I could tell you horror stories about the wiring in ostensibly refurbished old buildings and I can tell you right now that none of them would have supported any sort of PLT installation. Wireless repeaters would be more reliable. Given the cost of having to strip and replace all the wiring to make PLT reliable you'd be as well to just install cat5/6 alongside anyway. You'd get a more reliable, higher bandwidth signal and more scope for modification in future if you leave in enough redundancy. Plus you can run phones down it.
Re: Crud generators.
I don't know of many people who would be installing homeplugs halfway up a mountain.
So I don't think you'll have any problems
Re: Crud generators.
"You do realize how hard it is to run CAT 5/6 in a lot of older buildings, right?" - yes, like this place, installing wired ethernet is not the most viable idea. So I use WiFi. There are blackspots due to four-foot-thick stone walls, so I can't read El Reg on the bog; however WiFi repeaters/extenders, or sticking something in the loft would get around that a hell of a lot more simply than rigging up wires. I also get the portability that WiFi offers. Plus, the microwave interferes with WiFi...not the other way around.
Re: Crud generators.
Interference from PLT can radiate up to 1km from the offending property, so yes, it can be a problem for all users of the radio spectrum!
Can't see this MIMO system working too well on TN-C and TN-C-S systems in use in the uk.
how well does data travel on a shorted pair of wires?
Powerline Atmospheric Polution.
I wonder if many people, other than those immdiately affected by this polution , realise how much grief this causes to the radio fraternity. That does NOT mean just radio amateurs, but the new Digital Broadcasting on FM.Anyone doubting this should viist UKQRM, a siote run, not by nutters, but very knowledgable guys, some professionals in the field of wireless (used advisedly!) communications. Even those" professionals " employed by ofcom to supposedly regulate and enforce the theoretically draconian powers which such a regulator in theory has, lack very often either the knowledge or genitalia to do thier job! Thsi prob;lem is indeed universal, affecting most of europe and much of North and South America. The line is fast being approached where, if remedial action is not taken by ofcom or some other authority, lives may be lost or "corrective action" taken by those most affected by this scourge.

Re: Powerline Atmospheric Polution.
These devices are illegal to use!
The draft standard CENELEC FprEN 50561-1 has not been approved yet!! The PLC lobby has been putting out false information claiming that it has. The European Commission will not list a harmonised standard based on the draft because of serious objections from no less than, the EMC consultant of the European Commission, and from others involved in radio communication. The EC EMC consultant maintains that the draft standard does not meet the EC's EMC directive's essential requirements, which were designed to give reasonable protection to the RF spectrum. So, there is a stumbling block whereupon using these devices will actually mean breaking the law, because the published standard EN 50522 has been deemed applicable to these devices and PLT system emissions greatly exceed the limits set down in EN 50522.

"The ML obviously agrees with the majority, in believeing that at this moment dw'ing is not feasible for a dk."
Those are my exact words from the first page of this thread. AGAIN, I am not saying that the majority agrees in the ML's decision to give the weapon to the warrior. What is bothering me about this argument is no one to my knowledge has argued the fact that the dk could or should be viably using Last Laugh. The argument is the wepaon is better for the warrior, but the loot rules should favor the dk. This bothers me because it is rewarding people who have less knowledge of their class. While I can appreciate the fact that the dk might, at the time, be upset that he feels like something that should have been his was taken away from him, if he goes to any site that I am aware of (elitistjerks, wowhead, tankspot, etc...) then he should figure out that he SHOULD NOT BE USING IT. I have not seen anyone put forth any kind of wws or logs showing that dw was even capable of matching 2hander output (threat or dps) let alone surpassing it. Should we let any class roll on whatever it wants, simply because if that person thinks he can use it then obviously he should be able to? If no one corrects mistakes and miseducation, then how can anyone improve? Find me something that says that the DK can benefit RIGHT NOW from that weapon, and we can discuss that. Saying that it wasn't fair because of a misconception is just saying its ok for people to ignore proven theory and gearing principles and do whatever they feel like.

I see a lot of items ilvl 200 that could be replaced for better items (even from vendors) still. Keep at it, keep farming.
I'm not too sure what I'm missing really. I mean, I've been filling every slot I can with the 232 T9 set, and picking up every upgrade I can from dungeons and badges, and I'm still not breaking any milestones with my health. I'm farming ToC at least 5 times a day, and still not seeing The Black Heart. I'm at 38% dodge in bear form, and at about 31k health, but I'm still having issues tanking heroics. What can I do to increase my survivability?
I see a lot of items ilvl 200 that could be replaced for better items (even from vendors) still. Keep at it, keep farming.
RNGesus - Saving you unreliably since BC.
I'm gonna pick up the 226 neck from badges, and keep farming to fill in the other slots. Thanks
Tips for getting better health in a short time:
1. loose both your current trinkets, they are crap
2. farm NORMAL trial of champions for the Black heart trinket http://www.wowhead.com/item=47216 (I still use it in about half ICC10/25 fights cuz nothing better dropped, yet). Since you are tank, you'll get groups to it fast, keep farming till it drops.
3. Queue for HC AN for http://www.wowhead.com/item=37220/essence-of-gossamer BEFORE queuing for daily HC.
4. consider cheating: wear a piece of frost res gear. I recommend the feet(fully stamina socketed and with a tuskar's enchant, of course).
5. Get your crafting proff up. Use it's stamina chant.
6. Flask (well, I'm a alchemist/herb and i get double duration+extra effect and can make my own flasks so it was easyer for me)
Further along, when you are starting to work twords 4T10 gear, dont'n get the chest (that slot you'll fill with a variant of http://www.wowhead.com/item=50656 )
Half? I'm using Black Heart in over 9/12 because I haven't received a better drop yet.
And is saddens me to see people using Corpse Tongue Coin when they tank with me... they just don't get it.
Actually,i use glyph +the key on the majority of the fights since it provides the best overall mitigation available to me at this moment. Also at my gear level I stopped using stoneblood flasks and switched to armor elixir+guru elixir (still switch to flask on magic fights or soaks, for HC's)
Black heart gets used when there is a major magic/elemental damage in the fight (I.E: marrow, [rarely] ooze duty on rotface, keleseth duty on blood council, soak duty on princess, valithria, sindy-->bout half, or less depending on assignments), otherwise i go with the armor setup (including LK, so much phys damage floating around there that extra armor is very valuable)
But yeah, Corpse Tongue Coin type of trinkets are lol :P
Yeah I don't flask anymore either. It agrovates my raid leader, but I remind him it has no real impact on the outcome.
I keep a few elixers handy and those 2 minute armour potions for certain fights.
I switched to dual elixirs at the suggestion of rawr(bear), apparently those elixirrs, along with agility food, provide more survivability and mitigation over the stoneblood flask
This was a function of:
1. gear
2. raid buffs
3. icc buff
In other conditions it still recommends stoneblood
(having to re-elixir, per attempt...uuuh...)
Managed to pick up both Essence and The Black Heart today. I'm at 37k unbuffed in bear now, which is a lot better. I figure now I just need replace the ilvl 200 pieces I have and keep upgrading pieces as I go!
Now add a flask, a drum of kings and a scroll of fortitude and you'll break 40k easily. Keep at it and in no time you'll be rockin' 85k+ health in a proper 25 man iCC raid
Thanks I'm working on getting the 232 t9 legs to finish the 4 piece and hopefully increase my survivability even more.
The issue I'm having now, is in H HoR, when it randomly queues me for it, is that when the Mercenaries stun me, I get destroyed in seconds. Is there any way to get around this?
Over yonder at elitistjerks they adjust the suvivability cap, increase boss attack speed to under 1 att/s and increase the boss damage in rawr to account for LK25 heroic levels.
Think the survivability cap was something of: 350 000, can't remember/check boss dmg now since i'm at work.
1. Barkskin is usable when stunned. Just pray the cooldown resets before the next mercenary stun :P
2. use marks, have a hotkey for skull, first focus on priests, then mercenaries, then mages (switch the skull to the target to be killed)
3. ask your healer to decurse you if possible, it helps overall.
4. keep a stack of drums of kings and runescroll of fortitude to be used if there's no regular buff available
5. agility food is good (and also gives extra stamina: win-win situation)
6. If you really want to be prepared: Indestructible potions, keep chaining them in that instance. Will help mitigate suff when stunned. (+3.5k armor? mmm).
7. Overkill: stoneblood flask

So Im planning on picking up the 245 badge trinket, is this worth it? I would replace Essence of Gossamer, and I also plan on picking up the 245 pvp belt to help replace the stam I lose from the trinket. Is the significant armor gain enough to outweigh the stam lost?
The armor trinket is a decent investment. That said, don't throw away your blue stamina trinket yet, you'll swap based on the incoming damage profile (i.e lots of magical damage = stamina, lots of physical dmg = armor). For heroic 5 mans i'd generally stick with stamina (HoR included, fairly large portion of magic dmg floating in there)
Regarding the belt, the pvp one is a good placeholder, (BUT just a placeholder). In general, pvp is ok for surviving, but is craptastic for threat generation, don't go deeply into pvp gear. 1-2 pieces is fine while waiting for better drops.
P.S. Idol of Mutilation is crap for tanks (wat do you mean the dodge gets in diminishing return range and has less benefit than the Idol of the corrupter agility proc?). Get Idol of the Corrupter.

Movement 2: Adagio cantabile
Track 6 on SACDA67605 [5'13] Super-Audio CD
Movement 3: Rondo: Allegro
Track 7 on SACDA67605 [5'02] Super-Audio CD
The notion of bringing back the Grave's material at its original slow tempo at crucial points during the course of the Allegro was something new to Beethoven's style, and it heralds the similarly integrated use of a slow introduction in the 'Les Adieux' Sonata Op 81a, and in some of the late string quartets. But the 'Pathétique' unifies its contrasting strands to an unusual degree, and the start of the movement's central development section presents the introduction's initial phrase transformed into the rhythm and tempo of the Allegro.
The Allegro begins with a staccato theme that spirals upwards, above the sound of a drum roll deep in the bass. In order to maintain the tension during his contrasting second theme, Beethoven has it given out not in the major, as would have been the norm, but in the minor; and the eventual turn to the major coincides with the arrival of a restless 'rocking' figuration, which far from alleviating the music's turbulent atmosphere, serves only to heighten it. With the development section, and its abbreviated reprise of the slow introduction, Beethoven returns to the minor and does not depart from it again. The music's continual agitation is halted only by the final appearance of the introduction, now shorn of its assertive initial chord, and sounding like an exhausted echo of its former self.
The slow movement forms a serene interlude in the key of A flat major. The sonority of its opening bars, with their broad melody unfolding over a gently rocking inner voice, is one that was much admired by later composers, and the slow movement of Schubert's late C minor Sonata D958, whose reprise has a similar keyboard texture, provides one instance of a piece that was surely modelled on Beethoven's example. Schubert also follows Beethoven in absorbing the rhythm of the middle section's inner voice into the accompaniment when the main theme returns.
The slow movement's key exerts an influence on the rondo finale, whose extended central episode, almost like a miniature set of variations in itself, is in A flat. Sketches for the finale appear among Beethoven's ideas for his string trios Op 9, and since those preliminary drafts are clearly conceived with the violin in mind, it is possible that the sonata's rondo theme was originally destined for the last of the trios, also in C minor. As so often with Beethoven, these initial thoughts show him trying to hit on a suitably dramatic way of bringing the piece to a close. That close is effected both in the sketches and in the sonata itself by means of a gentle fragment of the rondo theme, followed by a peremptory final cadence.

In the eighteenth century G major was the pastoral key par excellence. And both the first movement and the minuet share the Andante's bucolic associations. Typically, though, alfresco vigour is allied to a concentrated complexity of argument. In the first movement the floating repeated notes and rising chromatic lines of the slow introduction become vital ingredients in the bouncy 6/8 Vivace assai. This initially pretends it is in A minor rather than G major, an ambiguity that Haydn exploits throughout the movement, above all at the nonchalant start of the recapitulation. Only towards the end of the recapitulation, after what is in effect an intensive second development, is the fragile main theme allowed to reach a rounded conclusion. As the reviewer in the Morning Herald aptly remarked, 'the subject … was remarkably simple, but extended to vast complication'.
The Allegro molto minuet is the fastest and lustiest in all Haydn's symphonies, a rustic German dance complete with 'oompah' accompaniment—though, characteristically, the second part becomes more involved, with its irregular phrases, casual touches of counterpoint and recurrent three-note figure. The delicate trio features the favourite Haydnesque colouring of violins shadowed at the octave by bassoon. By now Haydn was renowned for the coruscating brilliance of his finales. But this one, a sonata-rondo launched by one of his catchiest tunes, arguably surpasses all his symphonic finales to date in its virtuoso handling of the orchestra, its harmonic drama and its comic brio. The timpani roll that batters the music into the alien key of E flat in the coda is a far more potent surprise than the Andante's famous Paukenschlag, and the kind of coup de théâtre that left its mark on the young Beethoven.

How to Fix USB Device Not Recognized Error
Posted by Winston Lee at 7:11 pm
These days, the USB port has become one of the most important steps in connectivity. The iPad (as well as its sequel, iPad 2) was criticized for its lack of a USB port. Whether you're a Mac or a PC, the USB port is undoubtedly a universal requirement.
It goes without saying that a problem connecting to your USB port can spell a disaster. After all, nearly every peripheral device these days requires a USB connection. Unless you're in an all wireless household, your smooth workflow relies greatly on your USB port working properly.
So let's say you plugged in your USB device, and yet it isn't recognized by your computer. Now that's a problem. Here are some things you can try to fix the issue:
1. Check for loose wires. It might be a loose connection so just push the cable in and make sure that it's plugged in firmly.
2. Test with a different USB cable. Attach the unrecognized device using a different cable.
3. Test the USB port by connecting a different device. This will let you know if it's the port that isn't working. This works as a process of elimination, identifying which piece in the puzzle is damaged.
4. Make sure that the Device Manager is working. Click "Scan for hardware changes" and the computer will immediately sweep and look for attached peripherals.
5. Update your device driver. You can try and look for device driver updates online, or you could install a driver update software like Driver Medic that automatically searches for and updates your device drivers. This eliminates the hassle of keeping track of your device drivers and their respective updates.
If not of the steps mentioned above works, you may have to take your device to a professional. When it doubt, it's still best to check with experts rather than attempt to fix anything on your own.
