yes, going to be awesome to see the 3 years of life on anime badge. 2 years badge looks like a ghost, maybe? thought it was a cyborg or robot at 1st.
it explains it in the about me too... xD
Neither. The account is just to see how long one's life on anime would be if you watched every anime listed on this website. It's not my account but I saw the explanation of it on the forum.
ummm did you actualy watch this much anime or are you just messing with us?

"You may find this hard to believe, but I am an introvert. I have a "role" to play, but I am fundamentally a loner."
Kawasaki was the original evangelist for Apple's Macintosh computer. He's a well-known venture capitalist who has been called the "Godfather of Silicon Valley." He has a perpetually wide smile.
He sure doesn't seem like an introvert.
As one blogger wrote, "At the time [of Guy's tweet, his] avatar featured him wearing a pink boa from a large party he threw at his house. Guy Kawasaki an introvert? Does not compute."
I interviewed Guy about this apparent disconnect, and this is what he told me: "I look upon many of my activities as a role thrust upon me - not "me" per se. It's like being an actor- you don't have to be an axe murderer to play an axe murderer. And when the role is over, it's over."

Yes, they are great! We used to order from them often when we lived in a tall high-rise in the city. The delivery charge was something like $6. But, you should also tip.
It's really easy to order online and they bring the grocery's into your kitchen. We never had any issues with them. I highly recommend them!
We started this a few weeks back, as grocery shopping has been a sore spot for DH and I. He hates wasting time on the weekends to do it, and we can't do it on the weeknights.
I LOVE PEAPOD. Seriously. I love that DH and I can both check the list up until 6pm the night before, and we've actually saved a ton by making sure we don't shop for "extras" (which we used to do while we are in the store). We've been able to come under our grocery budget every week because we can see the total before we checkout. I've been doing it for about 7 weeks now, and haven't had any issues with produce or other items. We tip $5 for delivery, and it's been well, well worth it for our sanity. Our delivery guy comes between 7am and 9am on Saturday mornings, and it feels so good to have the fridge stocked before we even begin the weekend

It seems silly and churlish to attack others for their private beliefs, unless one is entirely convinced of the greater view that harm is caused by the persistence of that belief in society; but when pressed into engaging on the matter, I recall the question I asked myself many times until I found my own faith breaking down: Bearing in mind we can all utterly convince ourselves of things that are not true and that therefore important truths about the universe must surely always be based on more solid foundations than what my easily fooled, fickle feelings tell me what is it that supports this belief other than my own already-existing conviction?Derren Victor Brown

Thoughts are the shadows of our feelings - always darker, emptier and simpler.Friedrich Nietzsche
If it feels like discouragement, fear, uneasiness, frustration, if it feels like anger -- that's what it means. That scarcity feeling has all those feelings wrapped through it. They are all indicators of some resistance within you. What those feelings are actually saying is, "Ah, as I'm feeling this thing that I'm calling scarcity, I'm a vibrational mismatch to the abundance that I want. I want abundance, but I'm not vibrating there. So as I reach for the thought that feels better, reach for the thought that feels better... so that those negative emotions subside, now I'm no longer resisting. I'm allowing. I've lined up the Energy within me."Abraham

So, I think that�s the centerpiece of morality: Don�t lie. But to do that, you have to go a step further and find out what the truth is. You know, it�s easy to say, �I�ll never tell a lie.� But if you say, �I�m going to speak the truth,� you�re going to have to work damn hard to find out what the truth is. The next thing is just plain, old, simple kindness: to other people, to your family. Love for other people. I think that�s another very important part of morality, being genuinely compassionate and concerned about the feelings and well being of other people, especially those that depend on you directly.George McGovern

Weak thoughts and feelings often feel strong but remember, real strength is never anxious, cruel, or punishing.Guy Finley
Lose/Win people bury a lot of feelings. And unexpressed feelings come forth later in uglier ways. Psychosomatic illnesses often are the reincarnation of cumulative resentment, deep disappointment and disillusionment repressed by the Lose/Win mentality. Disproportionate rage or anger, overreaction to minor provocation, and cynicism are other embodiments of suppressed emotion. People who are constantly repressing, not transcending feelings toward a higher meaning find that it affects the quality of their relationships with others.Stephen R Covey

|I have a natural gas furnace. I have just been told by the service tech that I have a large crack in my heat exchanger. He recommended I not run this one anymore and replace the unit immediately and gave me a cost. I don't think this has just happened, but how dangerous is it to continue to run this one. I really had not planned on replacing the furnace right now as we are in the process of moving soon.
Follow-Up Postings:
|"how dangerous is it to continue to run this one."
You can very easily end up dead.
If the guy was licensed he probably should have red tagged the thing and turned off the gas.

|You sure can't sell the house that way. If the HX is in warranty, have it changed. If not, better replace it.
|Definately in agreement, the tech should have shut off the gas and red tagged the furnace to protect you and him. Besides having a new furnace will certainly help not hinder the sale of the house when the time comes.
|In my area, only the gas company has the authority to red tag. It's my job to disable the system and have the customer sign off on what I found. If they are foolish enough to relight it, I'm in the clear and Darwin has struck again.
- Posted by larry(firstname.lastname@example.com) onWed, Nov 12, 08 at 23:54
|Do not use this furnace if it does have a crack. Did the tech use a infa red camera did you see the crack? a second opinion would not hurt if no camera was used. Call around most company's don't have one . Good Luck
|Do you have CO detectors in your home? If so, are they placed low, rather than near the ceiling? If you've been using a cracked furnace I would think these detectors would be beeping. If you don't have one, get one with a digital display that will show you the level of CO that it detects. Just remember that CO is heavier than CO2, which is why the detectors should be low. A forced-air furnace is a perfect appliance to pump CO into the living area.
Like Brickeyee said, you will go to bed one night and never wake up if this is bad enough. In our municipality, CO detectors are required by law in all homes. We had so many people killed (entire families, actually) that the city finally had to do something.
|Just out of curiosity....why is it that a cracked heat exchanger in a natural gas fired furnace is likely to be lethal, when most natural gas ranges, nautural gas ovens, and unvented natural gas fireplaces are not potentially lethal?
While I definitely think it's a bad idea to operate any furnace with a cracked heat exchanger, I can't figure out why a natural gas furnace would potentially be any more dangerous that the afore mentioned unvented natural gas appliances.
Anyone have a definitive answer?
|I don't have the definitive answer, but common sense explains that gas ranges, ovens and fireplaces are not in use 24 hours a day, unlike a furnace. They are also going to be a lower BTU rating than a furnace.
There's something about the combustion characteristics. I sound so scientific! :-)
- Posted by dan_martyn (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Thu, Nov 13, 08 at 8:56
Any appliance that is gas fired and unvented IS potentially lethal. If a gas range is used continuously as a supplimental heating source, CO will buildup in the structure and possibly cause death. If the furnace is a draw thru type (Heat exchanger on the inlet side of fan) a negative pressure is created on the heat exchanger and CO is drawn into the airstream. Portable unvented kerosene heaters and potentially lethal. Any source of combustion results in CO. Operating an appliance for an extended amount of time causes buildup. If an owner knowingly sells a home with a cracked heat exchanger, the owner must disclose the fault or can be held liable.
|While I'm no fan of unvented natural gas appliances, and as I mentioned in my earlier post, I think it's a poor idea to operate a furnace with a cracked heat exchanger -- it still seems to me that doing so wouldn't necessarily be lethal.
Natural gas furnaces don't usually run continuously. They cycle on and off. Unvented gas fireplaces, on the other hand, may be left burning continuously for hours on end. (It's worth noting that some states like California don't allow unvented gas fireplaces -- but many others do)
The burners in a large gas range or ovens probably produce as much or more combustion byproducts as a furnace would likely spew through a crack in the heat exchanger.
I've never seen a residential natural gas furnace (or any other type, for that matter), with the heat exchanger on the air inlet side of the fan. Every furnace I've ever seen pushes air through the heat exchanger, so the negative air pressure is more likely to be on the combustion exhaust side.
I can't comment on kerosene heaters, I've no experience, but they weren't a part of this discussion, anyway.
Maybe I'm just dense or lack common sense, but I still don't quite understand why a cracked heat exchanger is likely to be lethal. Undesirable, yes. Maybe even a fire hazard -- but not necessarily lethal.
|And what planet did you come from,wa8b ? To quote your own words, yes you are dense. All kitchen gas top cookers are
vented. well they should be. How many gas cook tops do you see that puts out 90,000 B.T.U. ? Unvented fireplaces up here are not permitted ANYWHERE. No unvented appliance is
permitted. Gas cook tops and gas ovens have to be vented even just by an overhead hood. Maybe we know something you don't know. Heat exchangers are positive pressure from the outside. If they crack the fan will blow back into the exchanger and roll out throught the burner inlets flooding the basement or furnace room. Kerosene heaters are not made to be on 24-7. Says so on the lable. Even then there is enough air leaks and people opening and closing doors to get an air change. How can a heat exchanger be a fire hazard ? It's already on fire. If there is found a crack in the exchanger in your furnace and was left to run most of the night would you spend the night in the same house ?
I wouldn't. Even if i did wake up next morning how many
millions of brain calls did i lose ? If i still knew what a
brain was and could think on my own. I'm a licenced gas fitter and compeled by law to shut your gas off if i find a
life threatining leak or other problems with the furnace.
I then call the gas company and they come out and look. If they say yes it's bad your gas stays off. If they say no, no biggy i turn your gas on and you are on your own my hands are clean. good luck. That is very rare if not going to happen, but sometimes it does. When i say shut the gas off it stays off. The gas company trusts us and we are god
so to speak. I've only shut the gas off once in the winter
in a home because a mother called 911 when her sleeping baby, on the floor turned blue. The hospital found Co poisoning in the blood. The heat exchanger was cracked.
The baby didn't make it. I still feel sick when it think about it. Got to go.
Here's a couple of thoughts for you:
/an oven left on all night to provide heat in an enclosed apartement will soon use up all the regular air (oxygen) but will continue combustion. The gas input stays the same but the air drawn in to the burner lacks enough oxygen as it is full of the byproducts of the previous combustion. Now it begins to produce high levels of CO.
A crack in the heat exchanger interfers with the normal mixture of air and gas. Watch the flames on a gas furnace when the blower comes on; the air pushed by the blower goes into the crack and combustion is now not normal. A techs instrument will show a high level of CO. Most goes up the chimney but other factors can make it enter the airspace in a basement or it goes into the ducts and into the main house. Not good.
I have seen a crack 3" long, looked like a 7 on it's side.
Incomplete combustion causes soot to form. It builds up in some heat exchangers so much that the flames actually do not rise up but will bend downward and go outwards and bring the products of combustion (CO for one) out of the furnace and into the area around the furnace. They should stay within the heat exchanger and then in the chimney pipe to the chimney and up and out. Or thru pvc pipe on high efficiency units. The blower is still running so they will be sucked in to the return air and sent into the home.
Anyone in the trade has seen cracks. Some units have most of them in certain spots. While they seem small, how do you know the metal won't just give and the crack gets larger or becomes a hole? Who wants the responsibility? I as a former tech didn't. My boss didn't. Tag and shut off the gas, get a signature, no matter what the weather.
Hope this helps
|Wiley, thanks for your comments. I completely agree that a cracked heat exchanger is not a good situation. I'm sure you're correct about a crack interfering with optimal firing, and I can also understand that it might allow some amount of CO to enter the living space or the area around the furnace -- but probably not at lethal levels.
I guess my original question had to do with a crack in the heat exchanger being deadly. Several early posters on this thread posited that a cracked heat exchanger could lead to death and that the furnace should have been disabled and "red-tagged".
While I certainly agree that a cracked heat exchanger needs to be repaired, or the furnace replaced as soon as possible, I just thought it was probably a stretch to hypothesize that the situation was an eminent threat to life. Most likely, there are countless cracked heat exchangers out there that no one has yet discovered -- yet countless households aren't being asphyxiated.
That being said, I also think if someone selling a house is aware of a major problem with the heating system (like a cracked heat exchanger), they would be obligated to repair it before selling, or at the very least, disclose the situation to any potential buyer. As a matter of fact, in some states, failure to disclose a known problem is not only a major liability problem, it's a crime.
|I think you should look on the web for more complete info.
You are not understanding the cumulative effect of CO. It gets in the air stream, at least you acknowledge that.
It is not a stretch but I can see how you wonder that with all the furnaces out there with cracks in them, why aren't more people dying? I don't have an answer to that cause you would have to look at each one differently. Some cracks don't allow enough air in them to interfere with combustion--yet. But at 10 below the furnace will run longer and maybe get hotter. Then the crack can eventually expand.
I was tuning up a furnace and a woman was down in an unfinished basement with me while I checked over her 1 yr old gas furnces with inshot burners, an 80% efficient one that vented up a chimney. She had a CO detector on a basement wall and I suggest moving it up to the hall by bedrooms. She did while I finished up the check and fired up the furnace. The CO detector went off within a few minutes. I took the detector outside to clear it and ran the furnace again. Same result. I checked the furnace and tho it looked like it was operating ok (no flame back, no dancing flame), but there in one chamber was a definite crack. The inshot burners are factory set for air/gas mixture and the gas manifold pressure was correct but this unit was and would have produced enough CO in a night to be deadly.
Some doctors misdiagnose CO poisoning (low levels) as the flu because the symptoms are similar.
People selling houses want to get the maximum price back. They usually don't want an old furnace replaced, let alone checked over by a professional company. House inspectors are reluctant to have a complete inspection. They just want it certified that it was turned on and it lit. Period.
|Here's a link to an article written by the University of Alaska Fairbanks. (PDF file.) Its language is written more for a general audience, so it won't answer questions about how big a crack has to be before it kills. More often I'm sure it just makes people feel ill.
Here is a link that might be useful: UAF Carbon Monoxide Article
|A strong contender for a Darwin award here.
One of the problems with CO poisoning is that it slowly accumulates in the blood since it bonds to hemoglobin better than oxygen.
You essentially concentrate it in your blood until the oxygen carrying capacity is not high enough to sustain consciousness.
You are now unconscious in a CO atmosphere and it continues to saturate your body.
Eventually the heart cannot beat from lack of oxygen.
Every fall when heaters get turned on there are a number of deaths from blocked flues and cracked heat exchangers.
Going to sleep in a house with a gas heater and a cracked heat exchanger is like playing Russian roulette.
While some cracks are hard to see and you might need an IR camera, I have seen plenty that have been plainly visible to the naked eye.
|Technician came on routine maintenance and said the CO level was very high and shutoff the furnace and possible cause is cracked HE, my question is why my new sensors installed at the floor level in basement or first floor did not go off.
|"And what planet did you come from,wa8b ? To quote your own words, yes you are dense. All kitchen gas top cookers are
vented. well they should be. How many gas cook tops do you see that puts out 90,000 B.T.U. ? Unvented fireplaces up here are not permitted ANYWHERE. No unvented appliance is
permitted. Gas cook tops and gas ovens have to be vented even just by an overhead hood."
I think you're being a little harsh. Actually, in many areas gas ranges and ovens are not or have not been required to be vented.
I have reduced the CO level in a gas furnace by adjusting the air shutters and/or gas pressure. also, dirty burners will cause high co readings in a flue.
A decent tech will take the time to show you the crack. You may have to pay for the time to remove a burner or two but it is worth it. A tech out to make a buck or an inexperienced one may misread their insturment.
Floor level in basement? Are there heat vents down there?
Turn on the furnace and place the CO detector near a heat register or just above it. A small nail will hold it.
Some CO detectors read accumulative and some are not working properly due to age or defects caused by other products.
Did you see the instrument the tech used?
Greetings from planet Earth.
Unvented gas fireplaces designed specifically for this type of operation are allowed here in Rhode Island. However, neighboring Massachusetts allows no type of unvented gas heaters.
No New England state requires vent hoods or exhaust for residential gas cooking appliances. Other states may have some restrictions I am unaware of.
Unless you want to be replaced by Plantlover3, do not run that furnace.

|I would like to see full disclosure here. For a part that costs several hundred to a few thousand dollars these extreme opinions about death make it hard to believe money isn't the motivating factor behind the scare tactics. And quite frankly it sounds like a design flaw that something this "dangerous" doesn't have a built in cutoff when it's broken. How many crack in the middle of the winter 3 years ago and were used until it wouldn't fire up again in the fall?

there are less expensive tools to identify gas leaks.
if heater is in use ir will show leak, but if it
is not in use..where is the temp difference?
co monitors are used to warn homeowners of leaks.
in my area hvac contractors disconnect gas
get a second opinion if you feel the need to OP
best of luck.
|Awesome, this is a 3 year old thread.
|I find it interesting you have searched for a three year old thread in order to post your comment.
There is some elemement of a scare tactic in tagging and shutting down a furnace. The contractor does want you to buy a new furnace from him. But the dangers of a cracked heat exchanger are very real. There is a legal liability that an HVAC contractor shut down a furnace which show signs of being dangerous.
There thousands of furnaces in use at this moment that have cracks and the homeowners don't know it. These furnaces continue to operate until they eventually fail for some other reason. This is not a reason to ignore the issue.
Heat exchangers crack due to excessive heat. This could be caused by not changing the filter or poor installation. There is a high heat limit switch that will shut down the furnace, but it does not guarantee it will prevent the heat exchanger from cracking. There is no detector which can signal a crack in metal. I suppose a carbon monoxide detector could be built into the furnace. The detector would probably have many false positive readings as the furnace cycled on and off.
If an HVAC technician says you have a cracked heat exchanger, then get a second opinion if you doubt his findings. It is better to be safe than sorry.
|"these extreme opinions about death make it hard to believe money isn't the motivating factor behind the scare tactics."
They are NOT "extreme opinions."
In many jurisdictions any licensed serviceman is required by law to shut down and red tag ANY combustion heating appliance with a cracked heat exchanger.
A number of places do NOT allow any unvented gas appliance larger than a stove or oven.
These appliances are normally run for only short periods in a residential setting, greatly reducing the possible hazard.
A central heat system runs as long as the thermostat keeps it on.
No one will even weld a heat exchanger because of the liability and safety issues.
You only die once, rushing it is not viewed as beneficial.

|Diagnosing a cracked heat exchanger is a major scam tactic used by HVAC companies to scare homeowners into a quick sale!
Before you buy, please read this blog my husband wrote to address this growing scare tactic used by dishonest HVAC companies.

me and you had similar ideas just i didnt get as far as you didi with it :D
Several weeks have passed since the events of Jurassic park and the Costa Rican government is making preparations to firebomb Isla Nublar,Ingen have hired you to enter the island complex and recover valuable data but upon arrival you discover rival company Biosyn have similar plans and something else has survived.
My current project started life a few years ago when I decided to learn Unity engine and for fun build a Jurassic park environment.The project lasted a few months and tried to recreate and re-imagine the early stages of the game Trespasser,I quickly found however that Unity simply wasn't suited to the open and vegetation heavy environment I wanted to achieve as well as my own limitations with Ai. The project was long abandoned on my computer in a unfinished and broken state however I decided to release it today despite the fact that I wont be continuing with it and I'm not particularity happy with my work on it.It was a good learning experience and hopefully some people will enjoy it for what it is. PC only.Unzip files,run application file.
me and you had similar ideas just i didnt get as far as you didi with it :D

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.
[OS] EGYPT/FRANCE - Essam Sharaf in France for G8
Released on 2012-10-18 17:00 GMT
|2011-05-26 15:30:41
Egypt's interim prime minister will ask the G8 to support the Egyptian
Ahram Online, Thursday 26 May 2011
Egyptian Prime Minister Essam Sharaf left Cairo Wednesday to attend the G8
summit in Deauville, France, Thursday. Sharaf will be accompanied by Fayza
Abul-Naga, minister of international cooperation, and Samir Radwan,
minister of finance. The Egyptian delegation will explore the possibility
of gaining support from the G8 for the Egyptian economy, to help its
recovery after the January 25 Revolution.
Sources close to the Egyptian cabinet said that the prime minister will
assure in his intervention at the summit that Egypt is keen to continue
its free market policy, to encourage the private sector to create new
projects, and that it will facilitate investment procedures. Sharaf will
also underline the government's keenness to achieve social justice, to
respect the needs of classes with limited income, and to guarantee
workersa** rights.
Sharaf will hold meetings with French President Nicolas Sarkozy and his
prime minister, Francois Fillon, on the fringes of the summit.
US President Barack Obama and other world leaders will gather at the
summit, which is likely to focus on Japan's nuclear crisis and popular
uprisings in Arab states, as well as global economic issues.

Diet For a New America, by John Robbins. But by no means was I well educated in day-to-day vegan cooking and whatnot! I yearned to be vegan with all my heart, but my head had to play catch-up! All I knew was that certain foods were not going to be purchased or eaten anymore--a boycott, plain and simple. But beyond that, it was all just a journey into a vegan wilderness. But it was a journey I was excited to embark upon! I'd just have to do without those familiar, yet cruel, foods. And do without them my husband and I did! No butter, cheese, milk, eggs, meats! I didn't even enjoy the compassionate alternatives or faux varieties of such items! The fact of the matter was that I didn't realize they existed!
So you can imagine the joy I felt when we discovered vegan mayo... OH MY GOSH! Follow Your Heart Vegenaise? Pure Elation! It had been so long... And Earth Balance vegan "butter"?! WOW! I'd been using peanut butter to make cinnamon toast, and mashed bananas to make frosting!!! It never was quite what I wanted. But now, all was well--my vegan journey was comfortable and complete!
It seems silly today, but my Jordan and I were very lonely vegans for well over a year. Outside of ourselves, we didn't know a single vegan! We didn't think to visit a health-food store to look for alternative foods... we thought they only stocked vitamins. We also didn't understand the magnitude of blogging and networking or we certainly would have tuned in sooner... it would have been so easy to tap into the culture and be in-the-know about all things vegan. Oh well. We eventually stumbled on a few old time acquaintances who happened to have chosen the vegan path as we had. Through them, we became connected to even more vegans in the Salt Lake Valley! What joy! We were no longer alone!
I always swear to people, (well, not swear, but you know what I mean...) that How It All Vegan! saved Jordan's and my vegan butt! Even though it was a year later that we discovered a local health food store carrying a plethora of additional and "unknown" ingredients we could use to make the remainder of recipes with, still, we wouldn't haven't known what to do or how to proceed with the very real everyday food questions and concerns we had as brand new vegans without this book. It was a timely find, and a blessing to be sure!
chili to chocholate cake from Sarah's and Tanya's cookbook and verdict is always the same: FABULOUS!!! I have already shared a few of the recipes from this cookbook here in my blog, as well as Jordan's and my variations on them. That was before I realized the power of networking that blogs can accomplish. I want to honor the authors--not tarnish there source of income by putting their work all over the web. So I will not be typing out their recipes word-for-word on my blog anymore. But I just may type up a review and add a photo of their tasty creativity here for you to browse! Then maybe you'll want to check out How It All Vegan! at the library for six months straight too! :) Or perhaps you'll behave like a normal person and just go buy it! Who knows! :)
Happy Vegan-versary!!!

THE LAST GRAND ADVENTURE, cont.
Stampeders faced their greatest hardships on the Chilkoot Trail out of Dyea and the White Pass Trail out of Skagway. There were murders and suicides, disease and malnutrition, and death from hypothermia, avalanche, and, some said heartbreak. The Chilkoot was the toughest on men because pack animals could not be used easily on the steep slopes leading to the pass. Until tramways were built late in 1897 and early 1898, the stampeders had to carry everything on their backs. The White Pass Trail was the animal-killer, as anxious prospectors overloaded and beat their pack animals and forced them over the rocky terrain until they dropped. More than 3,000 animals died on this trail; many of their bones still lie at the bottom on Dead Horse Gulch.
During the first year of the rush an estimated 20,000 to 30,000 goldseekers spent an average of three months packing their outfits up the trails and over the passes to the lakes. The distance from tidewater to the lakes was only about 35 miles, but each individual trudged hundreds of miles back and forth along the trails, moving gear from cache to cache. Once the prospectors had hauled their full array of gear to the lakes, they built or bought boats to float the remaining 560 or so miles downriver to Dawson City and the Klondike mining district where an almost limitless supply of gold nuggets was said to lie.
By midsummer of 1898 there were 18,000 people at Dawson, with more than 5,000 working the diggings. By August many of the stampeders had started for home, most of them broke. The next year saw a still larger exodus of miners when gold was discovered at Nome, Alaska. The great Klondike Gold Rush ended as suddenly as it had begun. Towns such as Dawson City and Skagway began to declines. Others, including Dyea, disappeared altogether, leaving only memories of what many consider to be the last grand adventure of the 19th century.

Can a

Brown blood is "old" blood, I had some brown spotting with my 2nd preganacy and all was Ok. If it gets red then I would start to worrie. But if you are very worried call your Ob......

is an indication of old, dry
that is for some reason in the cervix. The most common reason is if you have sexual intercourse and irritation of the cervix causes a little tear. Not enough that it comes flowing out, but like when you urinate or you wipe, you might see it on the tissue. Unless you are passing bright red blood and clots, brown spotting is pretty harmless. Brown spotting is perfectly normal in early pregnancy.

It's only concerning if the

you have severe cramping,

I had brown spotting with both my children and they are now a healthy two and a healthy three years old!
is safe because its considered 'old
' its red blood that is a cause for concern. The smell just may be from it being, old blood. Hope that helps...

Usually when you miscarry it is bright red blood with clotting in it. That is why when you are pregnant, your doctor usually says to keep an eye out for bright red blood. Because usually brown/black "blood" is just old blood disgarding from your body. So it doesn't sound like you miscarried. Plus when you miscarry it very heavy bleeding for maybe a day or two and then it gets lighter and lasts for a few more days.

After 4 days of light
spotting I finally started bleeding. I went to the ER and they took blood work which came back at 7456 my previous hcg reading was 6577 five days ago. They could do nothing but tell us we're sorry and hand me a cup in which I was supposed to place any tissue I passed. The ER doc didn't know how to handle the situation at all and didn't really know what to tell us to do. I'm lost.

did you take a pregnancy test
go to the Dr at anytime durring this? MC are very common and are estimated to occur in 15-25 % of pregnancies, but there are other reasons why a woman may skip there periods, which can result in the lining to be that much thicker when their period does arrive... why im asking if youve looked into this is because if you havent gotten checked out you should... get a pap, and a full check up to make sure all is well....

I passed a grey clot on the second day and began bleeding a little more with one
two red clots but mostly pink
. The third and forth day I was back to barely any blood, mostly just when I wiped. For the past two weeks I have been throwing up some, been an emotional wreck and having to urinate very frequently. Could this have been an early miscarriage even with a negative test? If not, what else coudl it have been?

and some spotting in early pregnancy is normal but if its enough to run down your legs, i would go to the er and have it checked out just to be on the safe side because that's how both of my miscarriages started.

its normal to have bleeding in early pregnancy but you should go to the ER or call your doctor though because if its bright red
then it could be a M/C with that color of
and if its brownish red color it could just be old blood and your body is just trying to get it out of your uterus for the baby but it could also be that the placenta is still trying to attach its self to the utuers but i would go get checked out if it was me hun.

Topic Outline
Occupational asthma (OA) is a form of work-related asthma characterized by variable airflow obstruction, airway hyperresponsiveness, and airway inflammation attributable to exposures in the workplace and not due to stimuli encountered outside the workplace [1]. Work-exacerbated asthma (also known as work-aggravated asthma) is defined as preexisting or concurrent asthma that subjectively worsens in the workplace.
OA is triggered by exposure to immunologic or nonimmunologic stimuli [2]. Immunologic OA has a latency period during which the immunologic sensitization develops. Nonimmunologic OA has no latency period and is caused by exposure to high levels of irritants or repeated exposures to irritants at lower concentration; it is also known as irritant-induced asthma or reactive airways dysfunction syndrome (RADS) [3,4]. (See "Reactive airways dysfunction syndrome and irritant-induced asthma".)
OA accounts for approximately 10 to 15 percent of adult onset asthma [2,5]. This implies that investigation of the causal relationship between workplace exposure and asthma is indicated in approximately one of every 7 to 10 subjects with adult-onset asthma.
The evaluation and diagnosis of suspected OA will be reviewed here. The pathophysiology definition, epidemiology, causes, risk factors, and management are discussed separately. (See "Occupational asthma: Pathogenesis" and "Occupational asthma: Definitions, epidemiology, causes, and risk factors" and "Occupational asthma: Management, prognosis, and prevention" and "Overview of occupational and environmental health".)
The clinical history in patients with possible occupational asthma (OA) should include detailed information about the job description and potential exposures to causal agents, in addition to the routine evaluation of adult-onset asthma [6]. The clinical history, while important, does not confirm or exclude the diagnosis of OA, although the negative predictive value is better than the positive predictive value [7-9]. (See "Diagnosis of asthma in adolescents and adults".)

Album Rating: 2.5Reads more like a 2.5 I'm sure, but I wanted to focus on some of the more negative aspects of the
record which I find jarring. In truth I would rate it somewhere between 'average' and 'good' but I
don't particularly care or know where. I wanted to love this, but I care very little for most of the
record after copious listens.
Album Rating: 3.5Very nice review man. Of course I disagree with a lot but you proved your point! Pos'd
Digging: Rishloo - Living as Ghosts with Buildings as Teeth
So many Karnivool reviews, I thought Australians were unpopular people?
Album Rating: 2.0that is one of the greatest avatars ever
Album Rating: 3.5The last line couldn't be anymore true.. pos'd
Album Rating: 2.5Cheers guys. Wish there would be a bit more attention for the faults of this album instead of
pretending it is the next best thing since sliced bread. Although I really put them under scrutiny
here and they're somewhat bound to my interpretation of these faults, they are objectively present.
Album Rating: 3.5Listening to Sound Awake again only confirms Asymmetry's inferiority. Maybe that will change after more listens. I doubt it.
Album Rating: 2.5excellent review, i really dug it
this album is disappointing to say the least
Album Rating: 2.0Ok seriously, wtf is up with the drums? It's hilarious.
Album Rating: 3.5Yea it's Annoying as hell! They're fine on sky machine but there's why too much snare
"Wish there would be a bit more attention for the faults of this album instead of pretending it is the next best thing since sliced bread."
Album Rating: 2.5I think you should have read that comment differently Lloyd. I mean to say that my own review should garner a bit more discussion than the tiny amount of comments it has so far gathered. I don't need affirmation of my own opinion, but I'd like people to critique what I'm saying or discuss the album as I have portrayed it.
Also, you cannot seriously reference pmb1288's review. Read it.
Album Rating: 2.5Omaha's review made me realize I needed to change this from a 3 to a 2.5. It's really not a good record.
Album Rating: 3.5"an ever GROWIGN fan base"
This review tries way too hard. Decent album, definitely has it's flaws though

In Europe, Extreme Right Joins Liberal Left to Squeeze Israel!
Antiochus IV Epiphanes ( 215 BC-164 BC) ruled the Seleucid empire (modern day Syria) from 175 BC until his death in 164 BC. Part of his reign was spent trying to conquer Egypt and the Ptolemies. As both countries fought for control and power, the Jewish people geographically found themselves caught in the middle and became an unwilling buffer zone. Frustrated by the lack of progress in his campaign after the Ptolemies, Antiochus went after the Jewish people, that led to the historic Maccabean revolt and survival of the Jewish people.
Today, the Jewish people are once again caught in the middle, but this time socio-politicaly and not geographically.
There is a current global tendency for BOTH the extreme right and the liberal left to go after Israel and the Jewish people. The extreme right neo-Nazis and white supremacist groups had dwindled to an almost irrelevant number in the last couple of decades, Even though they had continued to distribute their vitriolic speech, they were no longer a real threat to my people.
That trend is changing quickly, especially in Europe. In early June in Hungary, an article was published
"Given our current situation, anti-Semitism is not just our right, but it is the duty of every Hungarian homeland lover, and we must prepare for armed battle against the Jews." (Read the article)
This quote appeared in a newsletter published by an organization calling itself "The trade union of Hungarian police officers prepared for action".
So it appears that the push continues against Israel and the Jewish people. Antisemitism knows no political boundaries when it comes to its common enemy: Israel!
How long before we witness modern day Pogroms in Europe?
Yeshua (Jesus) has promised us that He will return to establish His Messianic Kingdom on earth. But the Prince of Peace came first to die for all of us (Isaiah 52:13-53:12) so that He could establish peace in the heart of men FIRST, and then come back to bring Peace on earth. Only HE can bring real peace, in our hearts, in the middle east and in the whole world!
Shalom b'Yeshua!

From the "Pale of Settlement" to the "Pale of Destruction"
The Pale of Settlement was the name of the geographical area withinImperial Russia, within which permanent residence of Jewish people was allowed, and beyond which Jewish residence was generally prohibited. It was about 1,ooo,ooo square miles. The word pale comes from the Latin word palus, meaning stake, from which we got "palissade" and "boundary", thus the concept of a defined and enclosed geographical area.
The Russian Pale of Settlement existed from 1791 until 1917. Within its borders were a miryad of shtetls (small villages), think "Fiddler on the Roof" environment!
This was where most of the governement sponsored riots or "Pogroms" against Jewish people took place (my great-grandmother escaped one to come to France).
Today, while many are trying to deconstruct the undeniable events of the Holocaust, by rewriting history and/or simply denying it, others are doing research that not only militates against such a position but also uncovers more horror.
An interesting article in the Washington Post yesterday (June 4, 2009) revealed the results of a decade long study by Holocaust Museum scholars.
The Pale of Settlement might have historically come to an end in 1917, but to my people, the reality was very different as the writer of the article stated :
"...what we are seeing in this project is that all of Europe was a camp."
The Pale of Settlement simply became the Pale of Destruction as it appears that much of Europe was much more aware of much more implicated (20,000 camps) in the day-to-day affairs of the Nazi "Death Machine".
As horrific as this might be for mankind to discover, this will also help us to re-validate and remember the "Catastrophe"

I've been clean, sober, and in recovery since that day 5 years ago when I walked into my doctor's office beaten down by my addiction and finally asking for help. At 30 years old, and after 15 years of drug addiction, I started taking Suboxone. I had been attending 12-step group meetings, but after years of heroin and pill addiction, numerous drug treatments, and chronic relapses, I made the difficult decision to supplement my recovery with medication. Although I feared judgments from others, Suboxone has saved my life.
While medication-assisted treatment is a significant part of my recovery, staying sober depends on more than just medication. I do service work, go to meetings, and surround myself with supportive people to avoid using substances.
Medication-assisted treatment is the best decision I've made in a long time. I know I wouldn't be where I am today without the help from my doctors and the medication-assisted treatment program, which has stopped my cravings and preoccupation with using substances. My life is no longer controlled by being high, lying, feeling miserable, and then starting the cycle again.
I'm 100 percent committed to my recovery. Even though some days are still hard, I know I can make it through the tough times. I now have a good job, a house, and a family. Additionally, I now have something I never thought I could, sobriety and true happiness.
Recovery Month promotes the societal benefits of prevention, treatment, and recovery for mental and substance use disorders, celebrates people in recovery, lauds the contributions of treatment and service providers, and promotes the message that recovery in all its forms is possible. Recovery Month spreads the positive message that behavioral health is essential to overall health, that prevention works, treatment is effective and people can and do recover.

Holiday Shoppers Are Vulnerable To Parking Lot Theft -- Protect Yourself This Season
WORCESTER, Mass., Nov. 30, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- With the 2012 holiday shopping season in full swing, many shoppers will find themselves spending time alone in parking lots and garages. This is also the season when thieves tend to become more active, targeting shoppers who are carrying more cash and presents. With this in mind, The Hanover Insurance Group offers tips to help prevent holiday shoppers from becoming victims of theft.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120404/NE82147LOGO )
"We want to believe the holidays are filled with kindness, peace and joy, but there are people out there haunting parking lots in hopes of taking advantage of the season," said Mark Desrochers, president, personal lines at The Hanover.
"Because a car break-in can be traumatic and leave you feeling vulnerable, and also bring with it car repair and replacement costs, we thought it was important to remind shoppers to be prepared before you hit the stores. We want to help to ensure you can enjoy the spirit of the holiday, without it being tainted by theft."To be safer in parking lots and garages during the holidays and year-around, The Hanover recommends the following tips:
- Choose Your Spot Carefully -- Do not park close to bushes, trees, walls, large vehicles, or any other obstruction that may provide a cover for criminals. At night, park in well-lit areas, ideally where others are coming and going.
- Keep Your Valuables Out of Site -- Hide or remove anything valuable from the vehicle. Tablets, laptops, smart phones and navigational systems are popular targets for car burglars. They are easy to steal and conceal. If possible, leave them at home -- or at least -- hide them out of sight. If you accumulate shopping bags during the trip, store them in a locked trunk.
- Lock-up -- All doors should be locked and all windows should be shut tight. Don't forget to lock the trunk if it doesn't lock automatically when you lock your doors. When returning to your vehicle, lock your doors immediately upon entering.
- Use Alarms -- Set your car alarm before leaving your vehicle. If you do not have one, consider having one installed. Alarm stickers and decals are great visible deterrents. Others include steering-wheel locks and brake-pedal locks. Even carrying simple items like a whistle, can be helpful to draw attention and ward off thieves.
- Be Alert -- Always be aware of your surroundings, when parking and returning to your vehicle. Keep your keys in hand when returning so you can enter your vehicle quickly. It is always a good idea to check your back seat before entering your vehicle to be sure no one hiding inside.

The Queen of Mean (left) and the Pampered Pooch, cocktails served at Trouble's Trust. Mark Abramson for The Wall Street Journal
Spanish Harlem Rose, another cocktail served at Trouble's Trust. Mark Abramson for The Wall Street Journal
The late hotel heiress Leona Helmsley famously left a $12 million fortune to her dog, a white Maltese named Trouble. One of her former hotels honors that eccentric choice with a new cocktail lounge called Trouble's Trust.
The room, a former business center below the New York Palace hotel's grand staircase, has been spruced up as part of the property's $140 million facelift. It's dominated by a 26-foot-long bar, leather banquets that the designers call "ripe-green avocado" and a dark textured wall. An affluent-looking crowd of guests and Midtown dealmakers mills about.
The lounge features a wide range of locally produced beers, wines and spirits, but it calls out for the Helmsley-inspired Queen of Mean. The bar's most popular drink is a potent gin-and-whiskey concoction, garnished with a baked-apple chip.
Or try the Pampered Pooch, a rum-based cocktail with lime, syrup and the aperitif Cocchi Bianco.
With specialty cocktails setting you back $19, it's good to bring an expense account. Or, like Trouble, to have a wealthy benefactor.
—Craig Karmin
Trouble's Trust at the New York Palace hotel, 455 Madison Ave. at 51st Street; open daily between 11:30 a.m. and 2 a.m.; 212-587-7000.

Why do this?
- Pulse-width modulation allows smooth operation at slow speeds.
- Set realistic rates of acceleration and braking.
- Set maximum speed to avoid derailments.
- Program operational responses to meet your operating style.
- Control train based on sensors, auto reversing, whatever.
- Because you can, and it is cool.
Step 1: Beg, Borrow, or Build
1. Wii Nunchuk. - The only part of this that isn't "open source" or completely hackable. It is, luckly, relatively inexpensive, easy to obtain (you may already have one on hand), and incredibly versatile. For $20 you are getting:
2-axis joystick
3-axis accelerometer
2 pushbuttons
Countless hours of Nintendo product engineering (priceless)
2. WiiChuck Adapter. - While you can cut your cable to access the wires, your kids will hate you when they go to play Lego StarWars next time. A couple of bucks will get you an adapter and guilt-free access to a software library written by the guy that came up with it (www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php), or your could build your own using this Instructable.
3. Arduino Microcontroller - You can buy or build one of these. They are easy and fun to use, and with the shields, can be put to a number of uses, repeatedly. They come in a number of variants. I like the newer Duemilanove since it has USB built in. Here is one source: www.adafruit.com/index.php
4. Motor Controller - As versatile as the Arduino is, it can't drive a DC motor on it's own. You can breadboard something together using a H-Bridge chip like the SN754410, as shown here, or buy a shield kit that fits right on the Arduino and comes with software libraries and examples. I'm using one I built from Adafruit shown here.
5. Model Train - (Sold separately). Or any small DC motor you might want to drive. I'm actually doing this for a small "switching puzzle" layout I've got built. It is only 1' x 4', and I want it to be easily (and safely) operated by children. It involves a lot of slow-speed back-and-forth, unlike the typical full-throttle round-and-round stuff. You can learn more about the layout on the last page.
I hope somebody is still active. My friend and I are working on this for our assignment for school. But we are having struggles with some errors. I hope somebody can help us.
WiiChuck_Train_Controller.ino: In function 'void nunchuck_init()':
WiiChuck_Train_Controller:32: error: 'Wire' was not declared in this scope

WiiChuck_Train_Controller.ino: In function 'int nunchuck_get_data()':
WiiChuck_Train_Controller:61: error: 'Wire' was not declared in this scope
We hope somebody knows these errors and can help us.
Sounds like a fun class if you get to use an Arduino!
I had compatibility problems with the newer Arduino versions and switched to a newer nunchuk library from:
Take a look at the demo sketch that comes with it.
Let know how it goes!
I love this and might try this myself.
I put this great controller into use several months ago. I wanted to build another one but adafruit has changed the controller design, is it still compatible with this? Here's the new controller. http://www.adafruit.com/products/1438
Thank You!
I haven't had a chance to use the new one yet, but it looks like it would work fine for driving a train. Let us know if you try it out!
I need some help with the program.
these are the errors that i get:
nunchuck.cpp:324:28: error: nunchuck_funcs.h: No such file or directory
nunchuck.cpp:325:21: error: AFMotor.h: No such file or directory

nunchuck.cpp: In function 'int nunchuck_get_data()':
wii_train_controller:181: error: 'Wire' was not declared in this scope
Can some one help Please
when i go to get hub which of the files should i get(motor-shield)? it wont let me download all of them at once and how to i save them properly?
You can also use reed switches for train differentiation. Imagine two locos, one with two magnets spaced 1" apart and the other with the magnets 2" apart. With 3 reed switches spaced 1" and 1" you can detect if switches 1 and 2 are closed at the same time or if switches 1 and 3 are closed at the same time. Simply ground one end of switch 1 and connect the other end to both switches 2 and 3. The outputs of switches 2 and 3 will tell you which train is present.
My idea is for an automatic 'hump' shunting yard. The wagons would have a bar code stuck to the underside and a bar code reader in the hump would read the barcode and switch the points to the appropriate track. I don't yet know how to do this, but I'm sure that it could be done with an Arduino!
On my DC garden layout, this might be perfect.
It would definitely be cool for slot cars. My little boys have a hard time controlling the car speed and keeping them on the track. One thing you could also do is have lane changing on a routed wood track (or track changing for trains) by using either a solenoid or servo motor to move the track by pressing one of the nunchuck buttons. I wrote some code a couple of years ago that allows access to all the nunchuck functions so I might have to try that out.
I haven't put the accelerometer readings to use yet. Maybe I could use a throwing action to make the turnouts switch?
Looks good. Nice low-angle action shot.
The last one.
will have to look into buying an arduino
I love how hackable the wiimote and nunchuck attachment are. They have tons of uses yet to be unlocked!

Standby Wakeup Issue
Hi, I am having a problem regarding waking up from standby mode, after going to standby I have to press a key to wake up either from my mouse or keyboard...sometimes when I press a button to wake up my computer will not wake:? It will switch on and the light will go from blue (on) to orange (standby) about 4-6 times and then it will stay on orange (standby) and I will not get anything on the screen and have to force shutdown by holding the power button:/ When I restart it will say resuming Windows (I do not go into hybernate mode tho) and take a little time to load me back to the loggin screen. This has been happening since I have upgraded my RAM by installing 2GB more into my system... I had also upgraded my graphics card but did not have any problems...I have this problem more if I have my USB TV Tuner card pluged in so I tend to have it unplugged most of the time:/ I am thinking could it be my PSU? I have a 300W standard and having 4 RAM modules and a graphics card (ATI Radeon HD 4650) plus fans etc... I can play games like AVP and GTA IV with no problems so could it be power drain:? NOTE: The first time I had a BSoD when waking up nbut have not had it since.
Thanks in advanced for the help
|My System Specs

Windows 8.1 Pro RTM x64
It is more than likely down to your PSU. According to AMD, the ATI Radeon HD 4600 series of graphics cards requires a PSU rated at a minimum of 400W.

What graphics card did you have originally? If you also have on-board graphics, try using that to see if the problem goes away.

Thanks for the help, It is my PSU as Iv taken my graphics card out and am now using my on board one and not had this problem. I will get a better PSU and reinstall it as soon as... do you know of any brands I should look out for?

This book gave helpful advice. The story was very easy to listen to and I would recommend this to anyone who wants to learn more about tax saving.
