The pellet plant features state-of-the-art technology and pollution control to ensure minimum impact of increased production on the environment. When the project is completed, Jamshedpur Plant will become the single largest unit and one of the most modern plants in the world.
Sixth largest steel producer in the worldTata Steel Limited is the world's sixth largest steel producer and India's second largest. It is increasing crude steel production from 6.8m tpy to 9.7m tpy with maximum utilisation of existing plants and utilities.
To achieve its objective, Tata Steel is setting up a 6m tpy pellet plant in the shortest possible period of 52 months and within the existing works boundary.
The pellet plant is an extension of Tata Steel's traditional strategy of being an integrated steel producer. This strategy helps it keep costs down and ride out the vicissitudes of the cycle in the steel industry.
FLSmidth's largest installation ever This is FLSmidth's largest installation ever of an iron ore dry grinding system. The scope of the contract involves two streams of 3m tpy of iron ore being fed to two rotary dryers, two ball mills, two separators and four baghouses along with associated conveyors, airslides and bucket elevators. The plant will be on stream for production by the end of 2010.
The challengeA project of this size involves complete analysis of the process (iron ore, coal/coke and limestone mixed in the right proportion before being fed to the drying and grinding system). The process ranges from drying and grinding, classification and product collection to venting and dust control.
Since the mill shell is designed as a single piece construction of 6 m diameter, the lathe machine at the machine shop had to be modified to accommodate such a high diameter. The castings for the mill head and trunnions weighed up to 20 tonnes.
The girth gear for the mills was specially designed to achieve the hardness of 320 BHN. The lubrication system for such high pressure and high flow application is the first of its kind installed in India.
The two mill shells measure 6 metres in diameter (height of a two storey building) and 12 metres in length, weighing around 1,500 tonnes each. They are installed 6 metres above ground level on a foundation weighing about 4,500 tonnes and will rotate at a speed of 13 rpm.
Since this is the first time such a heavy mill is being installed in India, field service and logis-tics personnel are gearing up to be prepared for the challenging installation requirements.
The system and processThe drying process comprises a 5.0 metre diameter x 35.0 m long dryer and includes a 40 MKcal/h hot gas generator. The co-current rotary dryer dries the material and reduces the moisture level to 1%. The hot gas generator uses blast furnace as the main fuel and coke oven gas as start-up fuel.
The dried ore is conveyed to a closed circuit grinding system which involves a ball mill and a dynamic classifier. The 6.0 metre diameter x 10.0 metre long ball mill is driven by a 2 x 5 MW motor arrangement.
The ground ore is classified in a high efficiency ROKSH 90 separator (new generation high efficiency dynamic separator) producing an end product of 50 to 55 micron particles. The material fineness is maintained by vary- ing the rotor speed of the ROKSH Separator. The product from the separator is collected in an FLSmidth jet pulse baghouse and conveyed to the ground silo by means of airslides and bucket elevators.
The rejects are returned to the mill for re- grinding. This option provides the flexibility of varying the particle size collected to achieve the required Blaine size for the pellet making process.
Reducing environmental impactThe exhaust gases contain dust which essentially consists of iron ore fines from the dis-charge end of the dryer. The dust is collected in the baghouse and conveyed to the ROKSH Separator by the dense phase pneumatic conveying system.
The clean exhaust gases are vented to the atmosphere through the stack. The baghouses are designed to meet an emission guarantee of 10 mg/Nm3.

10 Best Luxury Watches for 2012
Nomos Orion
Price: About $1,717
If you held me down and forced me to choose, I'd say the single best watch of the year is the Nomos Orion. This understated, classic piece is the brainchild of the first-rate German makers from the watch-mad town of Glashutte. Nomos specializes in thin, discreetly elegant wristers that whisper style and elegance. The face is so easy to read, the case is so thin and the unit so light on your wrist that you will never want to take it off. Even better, Nomos has broken the Orion line down into several subtle sub-units that allow anybody to choose exactly the look they want. Between the anthracite black model, the off-red rose unit or the traditional white steel pieces, a set of Orions could be all the watches you ever own.
Watch geeks will be impressed at the mechanical so-called Alpha movement, which is factory-calibrated -- and visible from the back of the watch. I have heard that some purists dis this watch because Nomos is not making what is considered an originally designed mechanism. And the minimalist look is either in your blood or not. But for a legit, top-end manual winder at a comparatively reasonable price, the Orion is value watch of the moment.

Shrimp Lab past news and notices
Ariel Strickland has left Stanford for a post doctoral position with John Valley at the University of Wisconsin Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometer Laboratory Wisc-SIMS. Ariel can be reached at email@example.com
At the annual awards ceremony at USGS in Menlo Park on March 3, Brad Ito was presented with the Superior Service Award of the Department of the Interior in recognition of his exceptional contributions to ensuring the success of the ion microprobe laboratory. In the eleven years since the SHRIMP-RG was installed, Brad has become widely known for his technical innovations, trouble-shooting prowess, and dedication to keeping this complex instrument fully operational twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. Brad has unselfishly committed long hours, often on short notice on weekends and into the night, to ensure that the ion probe is in optimum operating condition. For the countless SHRIMP sessions that he has enabled or salvaged, there are dozens of grateful scientists, many of whom traveled large distances for time on the instrument booked months in advance. The award was presented to Brad by Anne Kinsinger, Regional Director, on behalf of Marcia McNutt, USGS Director.
The SHRIMP Lab welcomes Dr. Jorge Vazquez as the U.S. Geological Survey's staff scientist for the StanfordUSGS Ion Microprobe Laboratory. Dr. Vazquez was selected as a result of a national search for a research geologist to work with other Survey scientists in the laboratory and to develop new USGS research projects with the SHRIMP-RG.
Dr. Vazquez received his Bachelor's degree from California State University, Los Angeles, M.S. from Northern Arizona University, and Ph.D. from UCLA. Jorge studied pyroclastic-surge deposits and geology of the Hopi Buttes volcanic field, Arizona, for his Masters thesis. At UCLA, he focused on ion microprobe UThPb geochronology of allanite and zircon in Quaternary rhyolites (Toba Tuff, Indonesia; postcaldera rhyolites, Yellowstone) and on uranium-series geochemistry. His bibliography also includes papers on petrology and accessory mineral geochronology of young rhyolites from the Coso volcanic field and Salton Buttes, California, and plutonic rock fragments (xenoliths) from Hualalai and Mauna Kea volcanoes, Hawaii. Since 2004, Jorge has been Assistant Professor of Geology at California State University, Northridge. He brings a strong background in ion microprobe geochronology, igneous petrology, geochemistry, and volcanology to the SHRIMP lab. We look forward to his joining the SHRIMP lab team and to his involvement in research with Survey colleagues nationally.
Joe Wooden retires from the USGS and begins a new era as a senior research associate within Stanford University's Department of Geological and Environmental Sciences (GES).
With Joe's retirement from USGS, Charlie Bacon is now Co-Director for USGS at SUMAC.
Frank Mazdab has left the USGS. Frank can be reached at email@example.com
Bettina Wiegand has left SUMAC to return to Germany. Bettina's several years of work with the TIMS and SHRIMP helped to broaden the use of SUMAC facilities. Bettina can be reached at email@example.com
Notice to external users of the Stanford University/U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Ion Probe. On October 1, 2007, user fees for external users (non-Stanford/USGS) will increase to $1700/day (24 hours). Please plan accordingly in budgets for future proposals.

PassPorter's Walt Disney World News Bulletin
More FastPass+ Changes Announced
This news bulletin updates page 120 of PassPorter's Walt Disney World 2014.
Reader Comments:
Jpanning on April 3, 2014 @ 10:38 pm
My family just visited Walt Disney parks in March and experienced fast pass+. This was not our first visit and we always purchased park hopper. The fast pass+ process really made park hopping difficult as you could only use fast pass at one park only. I was upset to spend the money and was unable to enjoy Disney as we had in prior years. So changes for park hopping are welcomed. Just wish I could be reimbursed for the charges.
chezp on April 4, 2014 @ 1:42 am
These changes are definitely good ones. I've been hoping for a park hopping option with Fastpass+ ever since the system started and I'm glad they're now looking at that.

Odin's Mom on April 4, 2014 @ 2:20 pm
Many of the Fastpass+ options are events that happen at a certain prescheduled time (i.e., parades), some even at the end of the night (i.e., Illuminations, FW viewing). How is the new policy going to work around these fastpass+ options when you can only get more AFTER you have used your initial 3?:confused:

I have 2012 XTR SL-M980 shifters with standard handlebar clamp with the horizontal adjustment as pictured on shimano's website.
I went riding with some friends and noticed their XTR SL-M980 with standard handlebar clamp do not have the horizontal adjustment. It's fixed. No ability to slide shifter left or right without loosening the clamp bolt.
I have not seen a none adjustable version of the XTR SL-M980 shifters. Are these for OEM and not retail?

When we hear about narcissism, the psychological condition in which people become excessively self-centered, it's almost a given that we expect narcissists to be high on entitlement. In their relationships, work, and general dealings with others, psychologists argue, the narcisstic expect special treatment. Moreover, the narcissistically entitled think that good things will come their way because they are deserving of favorable outcomes. In competitions, they expect to win, and in measures of their ability, we are told, they expect high scores.
However, what if some of those entitled individuals actually deserve the outcomes they expect? Is it possible that people who figure they'll win have that belief because they've won so often in the past? Maybe the high test-scorer comes to expect measurable success because she's always gotten terrific grades. Perhaps the celebrity musician figures he'll win awards and accolades for his performances because he's really good at what he does.

"Light but not strong as expected."
The Good: Light and nimble, easier to barspin and having good handling while riding.
The Bad: Losing grip on front tyre and hit the wall at low speed, bar bent slightly despite found no damage on bar end. I think, Light = Less material = Less strong.
If you're not hard shredder, it worth to buy. But I don't think it would be good for any hard street riding.

Richard O'Brien (born Richard Timothy Smith on March 25, 1942 in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, England) is a writer, actor, television presenter and theatre performer. He is best known for writing the cult musical The Rocky Horror Show and its 1975 film adaptation The Rocky Horror Picture Show as the character Riff Raff. The stage show has been in almost continuous production since, and the cinematic version is one of the best known and most ardently followed cult films of all time.
Early career
In 1952, he emigrated with his family to Tauranga, New Zealand where his father had purchased a sheep farm. After learning how to ride horses, a skill which provided him with his break into the film industry as a stuntman in "Carry On Cowboy", and developing a keen interest in comic books and horror films, he returned to England in 1964. Upon launching his acting career he changed his name to O'Brien—his mother's maiden name—as there was already an actor named Richard Smith.
He joined several stage productions as an actor without ever excelling or receiving critical acclaim, but that was not his primary objective. In 1972, he met director Jim Sharman who would help make his draft of a gothic-themed, schlock-horror comic-book fantasy romp into a reality. The script took O'Brien 6 months to write, Sharman suggested changing the working title They Came from Denton High to The Rocky Horror Show and the show opened in June 1973.
Due to the success and cult status that The Rocky Horror Picture Show gained, O'Brien tried to recreate the success with a continuation, 1981's Shock Treatment. Four other members of the original film-cast appeared with O'Brien in the new film, which continued the story of Brad and Janet (played by Cliff de Young and Jessica Harper). It did poorly in theaters, but over the years has achieved minor cult status, mostly thanks to the Rocky Horror phenomenon. Fans of Rocky Horror were disappointed by the absense of both the Frank N. Furter character, and Tim Curry, who played him. Curry had been offered the role of Farley Flavors, but turned it down over concerns about the required American accent. O'Brien wrote new songs for the film, which also features a rare film appearance by Australian actor Barry Humphries (famous for his character Dame Edna Everage).
Later career
He became a serial bit-part actor in cult films and has appeared in notable movies such as Flash Gordon (1980), Dark City (1998) and Dungeons and Dragons (2000). Additionally he guest starred three times in the popular HTV dramatisation of Robin Hood, as the corrupt druid, Gulnar.
He also guaranteed a cross-generational following for both himself and The Rocky Horror Show when he became the presenter of UK Channel 4's popular game show "The Crystal Maze" in 1990, delighting audiences with his sardonic put-downs and off-key harmonica-playing antics. He has most recently conceptualized and played the role of the Child Catcher in the West End theatre production of "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang".
He also occasionally does cabaret-style music and comedy performances on stages around the world, singing songs from "Rocky Horror" among others. In 1996, he performed a select number of shows as the devilish charmer, Mephistopheles Smith, in a musical/comedy show he wrote entitled Disgracefully Yours. In late 2005, he appeared (as the spirit of the mirror) in the mime version of Snow White, which played at the Milton Keynes Theatre.
He is also a patron of the Wallness Children's Charity, which benefits the Royal Manchester Children's Hospital (UK). He hosts the annual Transfandango, a gala gathering of "Dearhearts and Trans 'n' Gentle People" to raise money for the hospital.
He has said that he is working on a Rocky Horror sequel, so hopefully this time it ends up coming to light. He has also said that he is working again on The Stripper (based on the book by Carter Brown), a musical he wrote the lyrics to.
Personal life
O'Brien married actress Kimi Wong in 1973 after they met during a production of Hair. He had one son with her, Linus, before divorcing. In 1983 he married Jane Moss, with whom he has two children, Joshua and Amelia. His sexuality has repeatedly been questioned, but while he refuses to label himself straight, gay or bisexual, he has stated that he feels "forever confined to no-man's land".
In an interview in the 10th edition of The Tranny Guide (WayOut Publishing, 2002) O'Brien stated: "As a child growing up in the 1940's, I sometimes found myself wanting to be the fairy princess. I quickly realised that it was not something you said out loud with brothers in earshot. To wear a frock very often leads people to jump to the conclusion that one is homosexual, or bisexual. Both of these terms are repugnant to me as they are limiting and tend to ghettoize people. I'm (as I see it anyway) a member of the wonderful tranny human race."
In 2004, Hamilton City Council honoured O'Brien's contribution to the arts with a statue of Riff-Raff, the character Richard played in The Rocky Horror Show, on the site of the former Embassy Cinema. His love of horror and similar genres can be traced back to the countless afternoons he spent watching double feature horror / sci-fi films at the Embassy before he moved back to England.
In RuneScape, a multiplayer online game, there is an homage to O'Brien in the form of a non-playable character named "Brien O'Richard". O'Richard runs the "Rogue's Den" mini-game, a maze of short puzzles similar to those found in The Crystal Maze.

Rooftop Bar - JIMMY
The James New York's awe-inspiring rooftop is perhaps our most enviable feature. It boasts a sexy social atmosphere, with an enclosed bar and lounge set against 360-degree views of the Manhattan skyline. Framed by the hotel's architectural "halo," the private rooftop pool featuring teak wood decking and outdoor showers, includes both indoor and outdoor seating for warm weather fun and relaxation.
Our rooftop bar, Jimmy, is a contemporary interpretation of a classic pub with a 1970's New York twist. Elements like herringbone floors, a leather trimmed solid wood bar top, brick glazed tile walls, rich blue upholstery and working fireplaces come together to create a sense of warmth. A year-round destination, Jimmy opens into the rooftop pool deck during the warmer months. But whether indoors or out, Jimmy guests are treated to one of the most spectacular views in New York City: a river-to-river vista looking over Midtown, Wall Street, the Brooklyn Bridge and beyond.
Guests can order from our classically inspired cocktail menu with ingredients including syrups, bitters and juices prepared in-house from herbs in our Chef's Garden.

4. Aliens: Colonial Marines
ETA: Spring 2013
Having firmly sullied their own good name with Duke Nukem Forever, Gearbox recently reaffirmed their reputation as capable developers with Borderlands 2, permitting us some excitement towards Aliens: Colonial Marines. The type of intense, atmospheric shooter that the Wii persistently lacked, Colonial Marines will hopefully signpost the Wii U as a viable platform for the FPS.
5. DiRT
Publisher: Codemasters
Not much is known about DiRT on Wii U at present, but a retooled port of 2011's DiRT 3 might be a safe bet. Core gameplay features on the second screen might be a tad difficult - splitting player attention isn't conducive to the genre - but at least we have the assurance of a solid racer servicing Wii U in 2013.
6. Project CARS
Publisher: Slightly Mad Studios
If rally isn't quite your thing, Project CARS offers prospective Wii U owners a track-based alternative. Given that the game is currently without a publisher and dependent on developer and community funding, it's surprising how solid CARS has looked in initial trailers. Could the complexity of an F1 steering wheel be translated to the GamePad's second screen?
7. Rayman Legends
Publisher: Ubisoft
ETA: February 2013
Following on from 2011's roundly adored Rayman Origins, Legends builds upon the good work of its predecessor by looking even more eye-wateringly gorgeous. Controlling Rayman with the touch-screen is a novelty, but Origins vets know the real joy comes from the hectic multiplayer, utilising the console's Wii Remote compatibility for four-player co-op.

What THEEEEEE fawk?!?!
Doug and Jackie Christie stopped by the "Rickey Smiley Morning Show" today and divulged that they will be producing an adult movie. Although it wasn't said who would be starring in the movie, it won't be the Christies, who've been married nearly 20 years. First the book, then a show, now movies — this couple is looking to expand their media portfolio.
*wipes brow* Thank GOD it won't be Doug and Jackie starring the skin flick!
Would you watch if it WAS them "performing" though??

Waterbury cancels gun show in wake of Newtown tragedy
WATERBURY — In response to the Newtown gun massacre, the police department has stopped issuing permits for gun shows in the city. This has led to the cancellation of an event that was scheduled for later this month.
The Westchester Collectors Inc. had planned a firearm and knife show for Jan. 12 and 13 at the convention center of the CoCo Key Water Resort Hotel on East Main Street. But that event, and any others planned for the city, are on hold after Police Superintendent Michael Gugliotti placed a moratorium on all gun shows.

It's obvious that this police department feels that if the gun show opens, ALL the guns displayed will suddenly jump off their tables, load themselves , and, by themselves massacre all the visitors at the show.
The Westchester Collectors Inc. should apply to some other town and never apply to Waterbury again.
This is unconstitutional and the begining of gun bans and confiscation. Feinstein must be burning the midnight oil.... "

Second, the city just cost several legitimate businesses their rightful income – expect a few lawsuits.
Waterbury's economy is so robust - who cares about losing business and paying lawsuits? The criminal economy will continue to grow along with illegal gun sales. The city will need more police to fight the growing crime as potential legal gun owners are handicapped in their efforts to buy guns by those same police. In the end the honest tax-paying citizen's will have to pay for this nonsense. As bizarre as all this is, it does explain why Waterbury can't ever seem to dig itself out of a financial hole. "

@ Al, GeorgeK, C1 - You guys are great! These Liberals don't have the mental capacity to understand that guns don't kill people, people (or maniacs) kill people. Gun laws only apply to the Law abiding. But again, this all common sense, something the liberals can not comprehend. "

My initial comments were regarding the publishing of names.
As for what the chief said, I have no problem with a town or city holding off for a little bit after something like Newtown happens. The problem is and always will be for many people, did the chief do it out of empathy or out of political masquerading? Who knows, I don't know the guy so I am not fit to make that judgment.
The problem with postponing events is the fear of some that they will become permanently 'postponed'.

That was until the Board of Examiners made it known that the local Chief of Police is not the 'local issuing authority', but rather the person who is responsible for issuing the temporary State permit, unless there was a legal reason to decline it. And if it was declined, a hearing was in order, and the Chief would need to give a legal reason to the Board.

Secondly, I do hope you realize that Sharon Fluke wasn't seeking funding for abortions, but for birth control, you know those prescriptions and devices that prevent an unwanted pregnancy and therefor, negating the need to vacuum out a fetus from her womb.

The point I was getting at is that Kitty uses the Newtown tragedy as motivation for wanting stricter gun laws, but the honest truth is that there are other instances of children never getting to live their lives that Kitty throws right to the wayside because it doesn't fit the narrative. While Kitty may truly feel bad for the children that lost their lives (I would never question anyone's sympathy), she is also using them to push an agenda, while at the same time, children lose their lives every day for a variety of reasons that Kitty mainly ignores.
The point of the Sandra Fluke reference is that she became the mainstream pundit and poster child for abortion/birth control. So while the main reason she testified before Congress is to get insurance companies to be forced to provide free birth-control so Sandra could 'Fluke' her way across America, I use her name out of humor because Kitty gets so mad that I mention it. It is like hitting this constant weak spot the left has no defense for.
You can tell me I am feeding the troll but do you know what comes out of the other end of a troll when you feed it? You guessed it...
And as for how it relates to a gun show, it relates as much to a gun show as 'health insurance' relates to 'civilians not needing automatic or semi-automatic weapons'. "
Peanuts wrote on Jan 6, 2013 3:20 PM:
As Kitty gets "mad" every time you mention Ms. Fluke's name "out-of-humor" as you put it, doesn't that make you a troll as well?
Next, Ms. Fluke did not testify before Congress, she testified before the Hearing on women's reproductive health and contraception before the House Democratic Steering and Policy Committee.
Third; Ms. Fluke was not seeking to get insurance companies to be forced to provide free birth-control so Sandra could 'Fluke' her way across America. She was seeking contraceptive coverage in the student health plan at Georgetown Law School, a Jesuit law school that does not provide contraceptive coverage in its student health plan. In other words, Ms. Fluke, through her tuition to Georgetown Law School already pays for her health coverage. What Ms. Fluke was seeking was the same coverage that non-religious organizations are required to provide under the Affordable Care Act (Obama Care).
To help you jog your memory, here is Ms. Fluke's testimony in front of the House Democratic Steering and Policy Committee.
Here is the portion of the Affordable Care Act as it pertains to women's reproductive coverage.

If you are so adamant about not owning guns, put a sign on your front lawn "gun free home". Just the fact that you "could" own a gun makes thieves think twice about breaking into YOUR home.
CT has a law protecting the identity of gun owners. I was surprised to read our lawmakers were smart enough to think of that.
@ Free Pretty sure this order came from the Mayor. He tells his administrators when and how high. Micromanager. "

Has anybody seen Biden's proposals? It looks to me that it will be pretty conservative, and favor gun owners. Some of it will be compromised, and some of it might make it.
The only part that makes me uncomfortable is the word 'registration'. Gun registration (especially long guns)has historically been linked to confiscation. That's the slippery slope we must avoid at all costs.
I don't see any gun grab on this go round, but it could lay the groundwork for the future. Chipping away. "

A gripping week full of contrasts...It now seems certain that sailing will be the way we conquer space .What a gripping week full of contrasts in the world of the cruising sailor.
It's a tense wait for thousands of cruising sailors ('it could be me!') as the kidnapped British sailors Paul and Rachel Chandler seem to be more and more involved in warring between the pirates, and a pawn for leverage of the Western world by the Somalis. News reports are confused and conflicting...
The first boats to cross oceans did it with sails. Now it seems more and more sure that Sailing will be the first way we transit space – and it's just come a big step closer to reality.
YOUR SAY: It's time to have your say on how VHF radio should be regulated for leisure vessels, and that means YOU have a chance right now to make your opinions heard. The same is true for those in NSW on lifejacket laws that are about to be reformed. Don't say later that you don't like the changes, make your presence felt now! - see the stories.
On the teen scene, read about our own Jessica Watson's progress in her quest to circle the globe non-stop and unassisted. Her Californian counterpart Abby Sunderland finally has her boat and will set out in December - but read what she has to overcome to do it.
Believe it or not there's a new ocean forming – yes, that's what I said – scientists have discovered a new ocean in the making!
On a practical note, there's a look at the recent MOB situation on clipper yacht Hull and Humber and what it might mean for the short-handed cruising sailor, a floating hand-held VHF radio is profiled and there are some new yachts featured.
...and that's just the beginning. Scroll down the stories to see what interests YOU!

Kenmore Square, 1968
My old horsehide head,
stitched together with red
thread, is fungo-thumped beyond
all green monsters of memory & I
can smell the reefer in your hair,
perfume of sweat from last night's
sex when we vowed we'd never be
ruled by the mechanics of greed.
Get clean for Gene? "Screw him
& the plastic pony he rode in on,"
you said & I trembled, amazed
by your big city tongue & your
love, our love for Yastrzemski.
Now forty years later, this email,
this electricity of your obituary,
this ice-shocking news, not ersatz
like the ergot of dream.

FootHuggers benefit from this fabric's properties which include:
FootHuggers are available in three styles:
Anklets are perfect in sneakers, sandals, or anytime you want a short sock. Anklets are also very good for people with heavier legs that find crew socks too restrictive. Short by design, FootHuggers Anklets offer wonderful comfort for anyone who desires a low-profile sock with all the comfort of FootHuggers. When worn with sneakers, Anklets extend over the top of the shoes covering the ankle. Unlike other anklets and footies, FootHuggers Anklets will not slip down under your foot causing discomfort.
Crew style socks are your most common style that people wear. Great general purpose sock.
FootHuggers Crew Socks extend approximately 4-6 inches above the ankle. (They are not mid-calf.) The top cuff is doubled and gently holds to your leg. FootHuggers socks do not use elastic. Instead FootHuggers use Spandex or Lycra. Both of these materials are very gentle on the feet and legs and do not grip your legs as aggressively as elastic. As a result, most people can wear FootHuggers Crew Socks with much improved comfort.
This is our tallest sock most commonly referred to as knee-high. And yes. It is very tall. The top cuff actually meets were your knee starts. The cuff rests in that small area just below the knee and above the calf muscle.
Bootsocks are perfect in any tall boot or simply for more general supprt of your leg. Excellant ski and snowboarding socks.
Like the Crew Style FootHuggers, the Bootsock has a top cuff that is doubled and gently holds to your leg. FootHuggers socks do not use elastic. Instead FootHuggers use Spandex or Lycra. Both of these materials are very gentle and do not grip your legs as aggressively as elastic.
"I LOVE THESE SOCKS!!!" - Online Customer
"FOOTHUGGERS ARE THE WARMEST SOCKS I'VE EVER HAD. THEY FIT VERY WELL WITH A PAIR OF SHOES. NO BULK. I HAVE TOLD MANY OF MY FRIENDS AND THEY HAVE PLACED ORDERS WITH YOU." ~ Online Customer
Ordered FootHuggers a week ago to try them out and now I have ordered 12 more pair! They are the most comfortable and warmest socks I have tried. I would never have thought that they would make such a difference in my life. I actually have not had cold feet aches since I put the first pair on! I have suffered from Raynauds for the past 10 years and this is the first product I have tried that actually made a difference. Thank you for such a wonderful product! I will be passing this site on to all my friends!
Helen, Elkhart, IN
Customer Review of ALL
Also, a Dual-System option is available with the Crew and BootSock Styles. The Dual System includes a liner sock worn under the FootHuggers Comfort Sock. The Dual-System is the best choice for extreme cold environments.
"We bought a pair of FootHuggers Dual-System Socks at the Denver Stock Show. They are very comfortable to wear."
"I purchased FootHuggers Dual-System Socks and Liners. You're right, they are warm. I'm outside everyday for at least 5-6 hours. Thank you."

W2037 County Rd S
Freedom WI 54130
(920) 788-1492
I grew up in Freedom and attended St. Nicholas School. My teachers, the School Sisters of Notre Dame, inspired me by their love of God and concern for their students. I began to feel a call to follow the sisters' lifestyle, and in 1963 I was professed.
For 17 years I taught first and second grade in three schools. By then there was an increasing need in parishes for pastoral ministry. Serving in four parishes the next 26 years was a great joy for me, as I loved the variety of working with people of all ages.
In October, 2008, my mother, who was 92, broke her hip, and could no longer live alone. My community gave me permission to be her caregiver. For three years I had the privilege of giving back to my mother who had always shared so much love with me.
After my mother passed away, I did some volunteer service for St. Nick's. Divine Providence must have been at work, because Sister Carol Haanen, pastoral associate, was contemplating retirement. In June of 2012, I became part of the staff.
My life has come full circle as I started out in Freedom and am now back home again. God is good!

Temperature / Dewpoint
1. The rainfall in June 2001 as of the 20th of the month at Houston Intercontinental AP, TX was 17.80 inches. This amount was mainly due to tropical storm Allison. This makes June 2001 the wettest June on record, the previous wettest June occurred in 1989 when 16.28 inches of rain fell, most of that rain was associated with another tropical storm named Allison !.

Natural Grass Or Synthetic Turf?
Maintenance: The Common Denominator
When making a decision about field type, remember that all fields–natural or synthetic–require maintenance. Synthetic turf does not need to be mowed, but it is not maintenance-free; it requires regular care to keep it performing well, just as a natural-grass field does.
No one type of field is perfect, so the best approach is to determine which field can provide the most desired qualities. Define the priorities, and know where there is room to compromise. Consider the pros and cons of each field as dictated in Sports Fields: A Construction and Maintenance Manual:
Natural Grass
• At the professional level, players and spectators still seem to prefer natural-grass fields. A recent survey of the National Football League Players Association found that a majority of players preferred natural grass.
• Natural turf does not hold heat like synthetic surfaces.
• While easily damaged by heavy use or poor weather conditions, natural-grass fields are inexpensive and easy to repair; if they are vandalized with spray paint or other materials, the damage repairs itself as the grass grows.
• Since they are not permanently lined, it is easy to convert natural fields from one sport to another.
• In the parts of the country with a severe winter, grass goes dormant by the middle of October, and field repairs must wait until spring. If the fields are seeded in late summer or early fall (depending upon the geographic area), they must be closed so that the grass can establish itself.
• At a minimum, fields require mowing and marking, and if the weather is not conducive, regular irrigation is necessary in order for the fields to remain usable; occasionally, they also need fertilization, topdressing, weed and pest control and more.
• In heavy rain, fields can flood and become muddy, necessitating cancellation and rescheduling of games.
• It may be necessary for grass fields to "rest" between heavy uses, in order to allow the grass to recover. If fields are overused, they will be skinned and bare of grass, particularly in areas that see heavy use.
Synthetic Turf
• Synthetic turf does not grow; therefore, it does not need mowing, nor does it need to be relined constantly. (It can be permanently marked for multiple sports.)
• Aesthetically, these fields are attractive, with a deep, uniform green color that shows up well on television as well as in still photography.
• In areas where there is frequent and/or heavy rain, synthetic-turf fields drain quickly and are usable sooner than natural-grass fields.
• Fields made of synthetic turf handle more play without "resting" between uses.
• During winter months, synthetic-turf fields can allow regular snow removal (with manufacturer-approved equipment). The fields' ability to heat up in the sun also helps melt snow, allowing them to be playable before natural-turf fields.
• Unlike their natural counterpart, damage to synthetic fields can be complicated and costly to repair, meaning that not all events should be held there. (For example, UEFA, the European governing body for football, also known as soccer, has noted that javelin and hammer-throwing events can damage synthetic turf and must be held elsewhere.)
• Heat builds up quickly on synthetic fields, which may create a safety concern for athletes in warm climates.
• There is sometimes a health concern. Grass fields contain natural organisms that break down contaminants found in bird droppings or in bodily fluids like sweat, blood or vomit. Synthetic-turf fields do not have these naturally occurring bacteria, and owners may need to keep the fields clean and disinfected.
In most cases, synthetic fields have a high initial installation cost; however, it is essential to consider that regular mowing, fertilization, etc. will not be necessary.
