No seriously, the key thing is on safety. Make sure everyone is being safe and having fun. Your field owner or head ref will or should give you a run down of the specifics of what they expect from you as a ref.
Good luck, and may the force be with you.

Expect to have people complain about things that don't go their way. Expect to be yelling "Barrel Sleeves On" and "Mask Down" quite often and others things that a Ref will tell people. Don't let your guard down when standing around observing players, I've had people shoot me when I'm clearly the only thing out on the field in a yellow and black jersey,red and blue mask, and totting a big red,white, and blue shield around that says "REF" on it.
Not gonna sugar coat it, reffing can really stink at times. Though like everything it has its downs and its ups for sure.

1) the owner of the field who should know how to fill if not hes not a good one.
2) the head ref our a ref that has ben taught how to fill tanks
3) a air smith or air tech at the field.
and what tanks are you talking about??? co2?? HPA??? alll hpa is is opening whip lines, turing on whips, filling to 3000, shutting off 3000 tanks whips(dont disconnect!) boost to 4500, shut off booster, shut off air fill line, purge all air lines, tell players to disconnect.
co2- empty tank, place tank on scale, fill LESS then tank size in hot conditions, shut off fill, purge remaining line, give tank back.
Posted 18 September 2007 - 10:10 PM
Connect tank
Fill tank by pushing down on lever
Release lever to bleed excess air
Disconnect tank

Famed designer Jacques Garcia transformed a 12,000- square-foot space into this stunning Mumbai palace, with antique wall carvings and a ceremonial wedding pagoda where chef-owner Jean-Georges Vongerichten himself got married. The space is vast, but chances are you'll still have to accept a late reservation or drop in for a space at the long counter facing the immaculate open kitchen. Dishes are meant to be shared; check spiciness with your server beforehand, so you don't end up with your mouth on fire and no bread in sight. The seasoning balance can be perfect, as with star anise in a dish of shrimp and egg noodles, or a delicate herb salad atop moist halibut. Desserts include Ovaltine kulfi, which tastes like an exotic frozen Milky Way and grows on you very quickly. Ultimately, you're eating pricey snack food, but it's all in good fun.

Hi all,
Newbie here.
I'm in the market for a basic all-in-one inkjet printer/scanner/copier. I've stumbled across Hewlett Packard Deskjet F2480 (CB730A) All-In-One InkJet Printer repeatedly - is it any good for the cash?
Thanks in advance!

Yeah? That's great, thanks I was also considering Hewlett Packard Photosmart C4680 All-In-One InkJet Printer but the first one I linked is better?

in my experience you are better off with a Canon since HP often has expensive ink. they give you the printer for almost free, but kill you with ink. Bakc nt he old days I had a HP with $ 50 per black cartridge, a Canon cost $ 10. for the Canon I even coudl get off-brand ink for $ 5. It's an old example and may not apply anymore, though. but they deliver the printer with only 1/3 full tank (they call it economy ink.. economical for them I guess)
i don't know that specific model, but you should see what the ink cost. If you print more than one colored page a month, you also should get one with 3 or more color tanks (red, green, blue) instead of one with all 3 colors in one cartridge.
there are some refill shops that have cheaper ink. But HP often has the printer head included int he tank. with that you always have to replace the entire (expensive) head
some better home models can even print double-sided (I don't mean manually printing even and odd pages, but the printer actually turns the page and prints on both sides.)
Just my 2ct

I would agree that the TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) is pore important that the initial printer hardware cost.
Canon and Epson are the two best known names providing separate ink cartridges
One example here ...

With the HP printers the cost of the cartridges will be substantial. I would also opt for Canon - but make sure you pick a model with individual cartridges. Those you can easily refill yourself and cut the cost by 90%.
In addition, I found Canon to be very helpful in case of problems. They replaced one of my expensive photo printers after more than 2 years free of charge. It had a problem pulling the paper in. In addition to that one I own 4 Canon multifunction printers that never gave me a problem.

I had an Epson CX4500, a basic all-in-one, it went through ink cartridges at an unbelievable pace. Printing 2 pages or 50, the ink ran out right at two weeks, and they're not cheap.
Found a few websites with people saying the same thing. You could shake the cartridge and tell there was ink still in there.
Very difficult to get it to print in black ink if one of the color cartridges is claimed to be empty, got it to work for a while, but then refused to do it.
To make a long story shorter, I'll never buy a Epson printer again.

Party Planning for Procrastinators
Somewhere between Secret Santa with the girls and your sisters cookie exchange, you managed to overcommit yourself (again!) this year. And now youre trying to throw together a holiday party at the last minute. Dont fret just follow these time-saving tips from the pros.
By Jennifer Barnes
Draft a blueprint.
Be realistic about the number of people to invite and walk through the rooms you plan to use on the night of the party. "Map out your party footprint. Make sure you have space for everyone and seating," says Dawn Sandomeno, co-founder of PartyBluprints. If seating falls short, ottomans, stools and pillows from other rooms can fill in. "Determine the flow and where you want guests to gather. Create vignettes for conversation and a central place for a bar and buffet or dinner," says Sandomeno. This way, friends and family can mingle without traffic jams in the kitchen.

San Antonio, Texas — July 9, 2012
Police say a child was killed Monday during a crash involving a semi in the San Antonio area.
According to officers with the San Antonio Police Department, 43-year-old Ramon Justo Alvarado Jr. was behind the wheel of a sport-utility vehicle as it traveled along U.S. Route 281. As Mr. Alvarado approached Brook Hollow Boulevard, around 10:10 a.m., he rear-ended a stopped semi, operated by 48-year-old Gustavo Rissopatron.
Paramedics responded to the scene, but were unable to save 7-year-old passenger Justin Kalak. His sister, 5-year-old Julianne Kalak, was taken to University Hospital for treatment. Mr. Alvarado also suffered injuries and was taken to University Hospital by helicopter.
Mr. Rissopatron escaped unhurt. His vehicle reportedly stopped due to mechanical failure. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety reports that more than 500,000 semis and large commercial vehicles were involved in traffic crashes in 2010. Those accidents resulted in injuries to more than 100,000 people and more than 5,000 deaths.
If you were involved in this accident, or a family member to someone involved, and would like an official copy of the police report, you can make a request with this form.

Salvage vehicle sold as "Certified Pre-Owned"
Posted by
KINGSTON, NEW YORK -- On May 30th we purchased from Kingston Nissan in Kingston NY, General Sales Manager Tom Gordon, a 2008 Nissan Xterra with 17,000 miles on it. When we asked why the mileage was so low we were told it was a lease return. OK, sounds good so far. Trusting the dealership.....our BIG mistake .....we didn't get a Carfax.
Fast forward to July 31st when we get a letter from NYS DMV telling us the car cannot be titled in New York without an extensive and expensive inspection because the vehicle was salvage car. We immediately contacted Kingston Nissan in person where were told that can't possibly be, they would not and could not sell a salvage vehicle without disclosing it to us. Even with the letter from DMV they were at a loss and would get back to us. We went home, bought our own Carfax and indeed the car had been totaled in Pennsylvania November 2009.
The dealership calls us back on Monday and suddenly this was no longer a lease car but one they purchased at an auction and they claim they were duped!! We were willing to negotiate a deal with them for a return of $10,000 of the $23,000 the car cost, their counter offer was only $4000 if that! They claim the value of the vehicle would only drop by maybe $2000 as salvage even after another car lot informed us the vehicle was only worth 1/4 of the value if not salvage!
After another week of getting nowhere with the dealership we returned the car for a refund but they won't include the 2 payments we have made so far. My feeling is we would never have bought this vehicle knowing what it was or paid so much. Payments made on a car using its correct value would be much lower than what we made already paid.
A complaint with NYS Attorney General has been filed, along with Ulster County Fraud Bureau and NYS DMV. I am especially disgusted by the behavior of General Sales Manager Tom Gordon as he refused to be available to speak with us when we got there this afternoon even though we scheduled our visit to fit into his schedule.

I would see if you can get a lawyer, or file a lawsuit in a small claims court. You are definitely entitled to your money back.
Fufu487 on 08/11/2010:
I agree with Prince-Caesar. You got ripped off, whether knowingly or not on the part of the dealership. they misrepresented the vehicle and you deserve your money back. If it was myself, I would insist in full and give them their scrapped car back. For that amount of money, you can buy a better, more reliable vehicle. I also find it hard to believe they never checked the history of the vehicle themselves, before re-selling.
rockfishing on 08/11/2010:
Small claims court is your best bet, good luck!
NickL11354 on 08/11/2010:
You could have and should have gotten this car fully checked out before finalizing the purchase.
Buying a preowned car should take more research than buying a shirt for example.
CaptainSpaulding on 08/12/2010:
It was a good idea to contact the New York State and the Ulster County District Attorney's Office.
It sounds to me like that car dealership should be charged with fraud for failing to disclose the fact that the vehicle they sold you was a salvage vehicle.

Hello, my name is Tom Gordon. I am the general manager of Kingston Nissan. There are two sides to every story. Some of what is written here is true. However, the New York State Attorney General immediately cleared us of any wrong doing. We did everything in our power to make this right, unfortunately some people are never happy. We strive for 100% customer satisfaction, and work very hard to achieve it.
tnchuck100 on 10/21/2010:
Big T, did you deny a full refund?
momsey on 10/21/2010:
Big T, what about the two payments they made on the truck? Why didn't you refund those if you did everything in your power to make it right?
randola on 03/06/2011:
just an update.....we ended up buying a brand new xterra from another dealer...who actually took $1500 off the price when he heard our story. he was surprised to hear that we were treated so poorly. I see that Tom Gordon posted back in October but we have not heard word one from him ourselves. we got no further refund and in fact the payment to our loan company was supposed to be sent overnite mail but was in fact sent ups ground to California! if I hadn't gone in to sign yet more paperwork I would not have known this and been able to stop it before ups picked it up. I actually had to wait for it to be mailed and get that receipt. just one more slimy tactic by a slimy company!
MadWife on 07/11/2011:
my husband and I recently purchased a vehicle ourselves from Kingston Nissan we noticed problems within a few weeks we called and got a run around on the scheduling and if it was covered. Yesterday my husband was out in the vehicle when the back end started to shake he got the car home and come to find out there was only one lug nut holding on the back tire, and all but one stud was broken, Husband called Kingston Nissan this morning and was told to have it towed up at Kingston Nissan's expense and as long as it was covered they would fix it, hours later my husband gets a phone call telling him that it's normal wear and tear damage , well it's wear and tear damage from before we owned it cause we only bought it a month ago, they said that we were responsible for the repair and that we were also responsible for the towing fees , $400 for everything .TImes are hard for all of us right now and for us to be asked to pay out for damage that they knew about look our family could have been in an accident or killed and they only thing these people care about is their money. They are a bunch of slime balls that use low tactics to hard working people to rip them off . I will be calling a lawyer and seven on your side to put this story out there .

Aquaman #16
The Throne of Atlantis plotline continues. In all reality, Justice League and Aquaman are one book shipping twice this month. This is alright – Geoff Johns has crafted a tight tale of war between the surface and Atlantis that actually ties into almost every issue of Aquaman that has shipped since the reboot. The issue is terrific and terrifically drawn, and is another reminder that Batman is ready for any situation that you can think of. Overall, I'm extremely impressed with this plot-arc.
Batman & Robin Annual #1
This week, Damian completely manipulates Bruce Wayne into going around the world looking for artifacts of his dead parents, just so he can pretend to be Batman for a while. Seriously, that's the plot. Its well-written enough, except for the fact once again Damian is presented as some sort of uber-child whom could already be Batman if he really wanted to. It is as annoying here as it has been throughout the rest of the series, and basically every time Damian has ever been used. One of the nice things about Dick and Tim as Robin is that they actually seemed human; Damian seems to be written in every way to ignore that and be some sort of miniature, psychotic Batman. It throws the dynamic of the characters entirely off. This is probably the last month Batman & Robin will be on my pull list.
This issue represents the last in the ongoing Rise of the Third Army plotline. It is, finally, over, and it goes out with quite a bang. Tomasi puts together a terrific climax that takes the plot threads across four different books, that have been running for something like four months, and builds a tremendously satisfying final issue. The book benefits from the additional pages afforded an Annual issue, and it takes advantage of those by putting all the threads in play. The final act of the Guardians unfolds with a massive battle on Oa, the next introduction of Kyle as the White Lantern, and the lead-in to the upcoming Wrath of the First Lantern storyline. The only thread left frustratingly unresolved is the final fate of Sinestro and Hal Jordan – Baz leads a charge into the Book of the Black looking for him, but the thread is completely dropped. This is as frustrating as it has been for the past four months now.
All in all, I'm satisfied with the ending to Rise of the Third Army. What is frustrating is how long it took to get here – it was clear as this story progressed that it simply wasn't large enough to encompass four books for four months, and books were forced to proceed at a snails pace in order to ensure everything ended up in the right spot. Of the events that have happened in the new-52, and with the caveat I have no interest in the current Superman event and haven't read it, this was definitely a low point. And given how amazing events such as Blackest Night, or War of the Green Lanterns was, that's very disappointing. I can only hope they have learned their lesson and Wrath of the First Lantern will be better.
Batwoman #16 (Shipped 1/23)
This book continues to be amazing, both in story and art. The Medusa plotline continues this month, building to a climatic battle involving Greek monsters in Gotham city. The book has broadened its cast significantly over the past few months, and this issue does a very, very effective job of bringing them all together and making us care about each of them. As always, it also utilizes two page layouts in the best way I've seen.
Star Wars: Agent of the Empire – Hard Targets #4
An Empire story usually takes one of three forms. Either it's a villains as protagonist story, in which
the focus is on ruthless characters who will do whatever it takes to win (Darth Vader & the Ghost Prison is a prime example), it's a story about a protagonist who realizes how evil the Empire is and defects to the Rebels (see Baron Fel from Rogue Squadron), or it's a protagonist who realizes the Empire is dirty but sees it as the only source of peace and order in the galaxy. These are frequently protagonists whom will attempt to play dangerous Peter & Paul games.
Jahan Cross is one of the later type, and Hard Targets is the story about his attempt to protect his Empire's honor, even while he violates his orders. This has been a great action series, and this book continues it. Jahan puts his plan to save the young Count Dooku into play, resulting in an exciting underwater pursuit, a reconciliation with his father, and a final dangerous cliff-hanger that makes the first issue make perfect sense. In all, Star Wars at Dark Horse has significantly improved in quality over the past few months, and this issue is a great example of that. I'm hoping Disney takes notice when contract renewal time comes around.

Minnesota GO: A Collaborative Vision for Transportation
Public comments
What's next?
A collaborative vision
The Minnesota Department of Transportation launched the Minnesota GO visioning process to better align the transportation system with what Minnesotans expect for their quality of life, economy and natural environment.
The effort is based on an understanding that transportation is a means to other ends, not an end in itself. It also recognizes that infrastructure is only one of many elements necessary to achieving a high quality of life, a competitive economy and a healthy environment.
This 50-year vision for transportation will require consistency and collaboration across jurisdictions and sectors to be fully achieved. Although MnDOT initiated the effort to develop the vision, this is a vision for all forms of transportation, and ownership of the vision is a shared responsibility.
What is a vision?
A vision is a description of a desired future. It answers the question "what are we trying to achieve?" It does not answer the question "how will we do it?" – This will be addressed in subsequent statewide, modal and regional planning efforts.

TV Guide Prez: 'ASME Guidelines Should Be Blown Up'
Advocates ads on cover; says church-state line is holding industry back.
UPDATE: ASME Responds
Much of the talk at the DeSilva & Phillips 2009 Dealmakers Summit on Thursday revolved around weaning publishers off ad dollars toward other revenue streams, including paid content. But TV Guide president and CEO Scott Crystal blasted the magazine industry for lagging behind other media when it comes to creative branding opportunities for advertisers-including featuring ads on the cover of magazines.
"The ASME guidelines need to be blown up," Crystal said. "I have no problem with ads on the cover of a magazine. I'm not advocating someone else put an ad on their cover but if I want to do it, it should be up to me, my editors and the research we've done on our readers, not some panel."
While the February issue of Esquire is causing a stir for featuring an ad behind a peel-back flap on its cover, Crystal said it doesn't go far enough. "Ads on the flap is a cop-out," he said. "What signal would an ad on the cover send to a consumer that's so egregious? I can understand why editors aren't jumping up and down about it but if I can monetize this and invest it back into the product, what's the problem?"
Clinging to these church-state rules is holding back the industry, according to Crystal. "I don't take this lightly and I don't mean to sound arrogant about it. But we're the only medium not bucking the conventional wisdom."

Optimism's relationship with entrepreneurship is a many-splendored thing. It's what goads the initial con-cept out of your brain and launches it into orbit. Now, along with the scads of research proving optimism contributes significantly to business success, comes the revelation that such tendencies can be learned-a blessing for potential entrepreneurs whose dreams are threatened by their skepticism.
"Optimism is solely a habit," explains Michael Mercer, business psychologist and co-author of Spontaneous Optimism (Castlegate Publishing). "It's not genetic and it's not something you breathe in the air."
How does optimism play into the life of an entrepreneur? "If you think something won't work for your business, you need to automatically focus on the solution," Mercer says. "Optimistic entrepreneurs lay out clear goals for how they want their businesses to succeed, make realistic timetables and spend 50 percent or more of their time focused on achieving those goals."
Keep in mind, however, that a touch of pessimism isn't always bad, and optimism isn't always the golden key to success. The true goal? To be realistic, something that, with focus and effort, both pessimists and optimists can manage. Jack Wang, 30, chief strategist and co-founder of San Carlos, California-based Trancos, a multilingual online entertainment site, agrees that "if anything, a successful entrepreneur is just very realistic. As an entrepreneur, I'm an optimist to an extent. I'm optimistic about my business and my product. But it's very limiting to assume that success only comes from being an optimist. In business, you have every right to be cynical, too."
Then again, it's hard to tell which comes first: the attitude or the reality. Says Mercer, "If you expect to develop a successful business, you're likely to be successful. If you think you're going to fall flat on your face, you probably will."

To hack (as in hacking code) is to piece together something useful from pre-existing material. The results are most often inelegant, but always effective: use value is the point of hacking. As such, it is complementary to the definition of words like ad hoc and especially, bricolage, or "construction using whatever was available at the time."

While fire damage was contained to the home's attic, other parts of the house sustained extensive smoke and water damage, the district said.

- Adds rich flavor to stews and soups
- Fully dry cured
- From Cordoba in Andalucía
- Size - Approx. 1 lb/16 oz
Add the rich flavor of Jamón Ibérico to your favorite soups and stews with this ham bone. This is an essential flavor for classic Spanish stews like fabada and cocidos – and can add another dimension to any soup or stew.
We cut our own Jamón Ibérico slices from whole Spanish hams, and these bones are produced fresh in our facilities. The bones still have pieces of cured Ibérico ham on them, adding even more flavor.
Jamón Ibérico is cured for over two years in Spain, and is one of the world's finest hams. The Ibérico breed of pigs is only found in Spain.
You will receive one or two bones, with an approximate total weight of 1 pound, vacuum packed in plastic. Store in the refrigerator for up to a month, or freeze for even longer. The ham on these bones is fully dry-cured and safe to eat without cooking.

text: Mercedes: A very positive week but we still have a lot of work to do 22 February, 2014 Nico Rosberg Mercedes W05 Mercedes AMG Petronas concluded the second pre-season test at the Bahrain International Circuit today, with Nico Rosberg taking the wheel of the F1 W05 for the final day. Nico's time of 1:33.283 topped the timesheets and proved to be the fastest lap of the four-day test. The team's programme consisted of shorter runs this morning, followed by a race simulation in the afternoon. We suffered from two red flag stoppages for our car, both for different reasons but neither of which are insurmountable. Overall, the team are happy with the lap count and the work achieved this week, and look forward to the final test. The team's pre-season programme will continue in Bahrain next week with the third and final test beginning on 27 February. Nico Rosberg: We can be very pleased with the first test in Bahrain this week. We completed a lot of mileage and learnt more about the car with every lap we did. This morning we were able to try some qualifying practice runs which felt good, meaning I could attack the lap a bit as I found a good balance. Later in the day we did a race simulation, which was crucial to learn all the new things in the car. There was a lot of feedback from the engineers, so my head was full of information! We suffered with an issue at the end of the day which ended our programme slightly early. There is still some way to go for us to manage the reliability before Melbourne as this will play a huge factor in the early races, but we're hopeful that we can make another step towards achieving this next week. Paddy Lowe: The final day of the test today saw us complete some lower fuel runs on softer tyres to get a series of one-lap simulations under our belt. We were happy with how the car responded to this programme. We then moved onto a race distance that we were able to complete, albeit with a pause in the middle for a red flag. It was pleasing to be able to complete that amount of running without any problems in the car. We attempted a further test programme at the end of the day but an issue halted that earlier than we hoped, meaning our day ended there. It's been a very positive week but we still have a lot of work to do next week to be prepared in time for Melbourne. A great job so far by the whole team trackside and back at Brackley and Brixworth.

A Light and Airy Swedish-Style Cottage
"It's young, light, and happy," says designer Alexandra Angle of this Americana-meets-Swedish cottage home in Venice, California. She brightened up the formerly dark house by redoing a hearth in colorful tiles, adding beadboard to the walls, and using plenty of cheery patterns throughout. Tour the rooms and read our interview with Angle about this design.
By David A. Keeps
Mix of Patterns
In the living room of a Cape Cod-style cottage on a canal in Venice, California, designer Alexandra Angle freely mixed checks and stripes with pillows by Peter Dunham. She added a Country Swedish Gripsholm armchair and a primitive Queen Anne-style tea table with a bench of her own design that complements both styles.
"I like stripes and lines, and legs give you that. I also like seeing some space under a piece of furniture. I don't do a lot of slipcovering or skirting," says Angle.

WHAT IS MEDICAL MASSAGE?* The application of physical medicine by a massage therapist.* Requires prescription and referral from a physician.* Requires physician's medical diagnosis, treatment plan and specific number of treatments.* Uses a specific technique to address a specific dysfunction or pathology.* Requires detailed documentation, initial evaluation and progress notes in the "SOAP" note format.* Insurance-based reimbursement.
Hello Friend,
Thank you for visiting my site,
In my approach to massage , I have chosen to focus on client or patients who are suffering with chronic pain and experiencing major life changes caused by auto accidents and impact injuries.
I specialized in relieving back pain, neck pain, headaches and any muscular related pain dysfunction due to muscle spasms & tightness that caused from accidents injuries, to help return the muscles to the naturally resting length, enhances the functioning of the circulation system to drive out toxins and increase the flow of oxygen-rich blood to muscle tissue, And lastly, helping you, or patients to enhance the healing recovery.My services also offers outcalls or patients home visits, meaning I go to your home or patients home rather than patient comes to me. This is perfect service for client who don't want the stress of driving to and from their massage appointments for relieving pain and, or for clients who can't because of physical limitations after the accident injury.I am accustomed to the needs of auto accidents injuries with chronic pain patients with Physician's Referral, (PIP) car insurance billing documentation, SOAP Notes and documentation requirements to participate on the health care team. Treatments may use a variety of goal-oriented modalities or procedures during the treatment, but will focus that treatment only on the areas of the body related to your doctor's diagnosis on prescription to be part of rehabilitative team.I will accept Automobile Insurance such as:* State Farm Insurance* All State * Farmers Insurance* (PIP) Personal Injuries Protection Claims* Other Major Medical Insurance (PIP) claims & file upon approval of the insurance company.
BACK PAIN - Back pain can originate from a variety of sources like trauma and car accidents, work related injuries and other medical condition. Pain is experienced when spinal muscles are injured. When injuries don't heal in the normal time frame, there is often underlying muscle distress, resulting in a cycle of chronic pain. If left untreated, serious back problems may lead to lost productivity at work and overall decrease in one's daily activities. Always seek advice of your doctor if you have pain & symptoms that affect your health after auto injury.
NECK PAIN- Neck pain after a car accident is commonly called to as "whiplash". Whiplash can cause damage to the minute fibers of the muscles, tendons, and ligaments of the neck and back. It often results in congestion and tension in the sub-occipital and sublingual / throat muscles. Non treatment of the neck injury may result in permanent loss of range of motion and persistent pain and headaches. Always seek the advice of medical professional if you have pain & symptoms that affect your health & for pain relief.
HEADACHES- Trauma to the head, neck, or spine
may result in headaches. Headaches are very common after a car
accident. Head and neck may be thrown back, forward or to the side
may causes muscular injuries and can be the source of headaches.
Headaches pain will usually subside with treatments. Always seek
advice with your doctor if you have persistent pain or symptoms
that affect your health after auto injury.
TREATING THE CAUSE OF PAIN - Some ways to get
rid of the pain is to work on the muscle imbalances by addressing
the cause of pain thru specific application of soft-tissue
manipulation techniques.
HOW CAN MASSAGE TREAT MY INJURY- Whether you
have an acute muscle injury or chronic pain, aching injury massage
can help. Your therapist will be using different techniques to stop
spasming muscles, stretch and realign muscle fibers and fascia,
break up scar tissue, release old trigger points, and remove waste
and debris from injured muscles. This will allow new blood to
circulate; bringing in fresh oxygen to cells and tissue. All of
this speeds the healing of the damaged muscle while relieving pain
and discomfort. In addition, your massage will enhance circulation,
relax the nervous system, improve lymphatic flow and give you a
sense of well-being.
MEDICAL MASSAGE THERAPY- is a system of applied techniques designed to reduce pain, establish normal tissue tonicity, create a positive tissue environment and to normalize the movement of the musculo-skeletal system. A scientifically based method of manual therapy that seeks a clear understanding of the scientific principles of physiology that affect connective tissue healing and treatment. Medical massage is emerging as a manual therapy system of treatment that does address the needs of the clinical rehabilitation.(AMMA)

Geologists in Ohio have for the first time linked earthquakes in a geologic formation deep under the Appalachians to hydraulic fracturing, leading the state to issue new permit conditions Friday in certain areas that are among the nation's strictest.
Feds charge man in Youngstown wastewater dumping case
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio - Prosecutors are charging a northeast Ohio man with violating the federal Clean Water Act after at least 20,000 gallons of gas-drilling waste was dumped into a river tributary.
The U.S. Attorney's Office announced the charge Thursday against 62-year-old Ben Lupo of Poland, near Youngstown. He pleaded not guilty.
Lupo owns Hardrock Excavating LLC. He faces up to three years in prison, a $250,000 fine and a year of supervised release if convicted.
Authorities allege Lupo directed an employee to illegally discharge the drilling mud and brine into a storm sewer that empties into the Mahoning River watershed on Jan. 31.
The Ohio Department of Natural Resources revoked the permits of Hardrock, a brine hauler, and D&L Energy after workers at the companies' Youngstown headquarters reported seeing the material being dumped.
Fracking Coverage
Shell, Europe's largest oil company, will stop drilling for oil in Alaska this year as it cuts back on investments and tries to reverse a steep drop in earnings.
A list of toxic chemicals used by Ohio shale drillers must be made available locally to governments, first responders and residents under a new state directive.
Amish communities in Ohio and Pennsylvania are debating a temptation -- the large cash royalties that can come with the boom in oil and gas drilling from the technology known as fracking.
A northeast Ohio businessman and one of his employees have pleaded not guilty to charges alleging they violated the Clean Water Act by repeatedly dumping gas-drilling wastewater into a storm sewer.
Prosecutors are charging a northeast Ohio man with violating the federal Clean Water Act after at least 20,000 gallons of gas-drilling waste was dumped into a river tributary.
Contaminated wastes from a boom in oil and natural gas drilling would face new testing, reporting and tracking requirements before going to Ohio landfills under proposal developed by three state agencies over the past several months.
The new movie "Promised Land" digs into the fierce national debate over fracking, the technique that's generated a boom in U.S. natural gas production while also stoking controversy.
Anti-drilling demonstrators say a new movie is inspiring a protest in Youngstown, where deep injection of wastewater from hydraulic fracturing was linked to a series of earthquakes.

Topic Outline
It is increasingly recognized that chronic kidney disease (CKD) is an independent risk factor for the development of generalized atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease, and is associated with a worse prognosis following cardiovascular events. Consequently, patients with CKD are at a much higher risk of morbidity and death related to cardiovascular disease than of eventually requiring renal replacement therapy. (See "Chronic kidney disease and coronary heart disease".)
Lower extremity peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a significant clinical problem among patients with CKD. Traditionally, studies of the epidemiology of cardiovascular disease rarely examined this condition in the subset of patients with CKD [1-5], and epidemiologic studies of PAD have generally not included CKD as a potential risk factor [6-10]. However, a growing number of studies have described an association between PAD and CKD.
This topic will focus on aspects of the epidemiology, diagnosis, and treatment of PAD relevant to individuals with CKD. CKD will refer to individuals with decreased kidney function, excluding dialysis patients and kidney transplant recipients. A review of this issue among patients with end-stage renal disease, and more detailed management recommendations for PAD in the general population are presented separately. (See "Lower extremity peripheral artery disease in end-stage renal disease" and "Noninvasive diagnosis of arterial disease" and "Management of claudication" and "Clinical features and diagnosis of lower extremity peripheral artery disease" and "Surgical management of claudication" and "Treatment of chronic lower extremity critical limb ischemia".)
The 2005 American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) guidelines on peripheral artery disease (PAD), which were produced in collaboration with major vascular medicine, vascular surgery, and interventional radiology societies do not specifically identify chronic kidney disease (CKD) as being a risk factor for PAD [11]. The Inter-Society Consensus for the Management of Peripheral Artery Disease (TASC-II) notes the association of renal insufficiency and PAD, suggesting it may be causal, but provides little supporting evidence.
Prevalence — PAD appears to be more prevalent among patients with CKD than in the general population. To some extent, this may reflect the older age and higher prevalence of known risk factors for PAD such as dyslipidemias, diabetes, and hypertension among those with CKD; however, even after adjustment for these potential confounders, CKD is independently associated with an increased prevalence of PAD, and with the future risk for developing clinically significant PAD [12-14]. Risk factors for PAD are reviewed elsewhere.

"It's fulfilling, it's a wonderful experience for us," says former President Jimmy Carter of the annual Habitat for Humanity build that bears his name. "There's such a bonding between the house owner and the people who work on the house."
The Carters have led the annual work project every year since 1984. "That first year we didn't know if we could get any volunteers to pay their own way to go with us," says Jimmy Carter. "We loaded on a Trailways bus and drove 24 hours from southwest Georgia to New York. We all slept on a church floor in Lower Manhattan."
Since then, the scope of the work has grown considerably. This year's build is the first to construct 100 houses in the United States. "This is the most ambitious project we've ever had," says the former president.
It's also been one of the hottest. Temperatures rose above 90 degrees all week, often soaring into triple digits. On Monday, notes Rosalynn Carter, "it was 110 on our porch, we had a little thermometer."
Despite the heat, 100 new houses now stand where there were only foundations a few days ago. "It's a really wonderful experience beside the fact that you're doing something for someone less forturnate who needs a home," she adds.
The Carters believe that securing decent shelter has a profound impact on people's lives. "I think just the fact that people have a home does something for their self-esteem, their independence," says Mrs. Carter.
"They often get new ambition," Jimmy Carter adds. "They have seen success and they have seen a promise kept at least one time in their lives."
The former president finds that working with Habitat offers a unique opportunity to connect with less fortunate people. "With Habitat, you actually cross that bridge between us and poorer people, get to know them well... This has given me an insight to needy people, poor people, that I otherwise would not have had," he says.
Volunteers often sacrifice to attend a JCWP, paying their own way and bringing their own tools, notes the former president. By week's end, however, "the sacrifice turns into a wonderful blessing." And by the end of the day, dedication services will have been held for each family's new house. "I guarantee you at almost all of the 100 houses there'll be tears of joy and happiness and friendship and love shared," says Jimmy Carter.

"I grew up in this area," says Wade Gibson. "I'm coming back home."

I whipped up this little project from scratch as a means to teach my thirteen-year-old cousin how to solder about a month and a half ago. He did all of the soldering that you see in this instructable (and not bad at all! He's a natural!) He liked the flashlight so much that I think he still carries it around with him!
Step 1: The Parts
What you will need:
1) Hard plastic 9v battery clip
2) tactile switch (tact switch)
3) Jumbo LED or really bright LED, whichever you prefer
4) proper resistor(s) for your LED
5) 9 volt battery - duh
6) hot glue gun and cheapo soldering iron with solder
The battery clip, LED, and resistor(s) can all be purchased at RadioShack or some other similar electronics store. The tact switch came out of an old broken VCR - check some old junk electronics that have buttons that click, and you'll probably find some tact switches inside. However, you could buy them new from digikey.com or something like that if you wanted to. If you are going to get your tact switch out of something, though, you'll probably need to use a desoldering iron (or something similar) to remove it. A solder sucker works just as well.
IF your LED has say a maximum say power input of 150ma at 3.7V, assuming you do have 9V, well if you drop the available voltage down, per LED, by adding the LED's in series, and using 3 of them in series, that means their own internal resistance stops the thermal run away that occours at higher voltages.
My experience tells me that aiming at a voltage of about 85% of the peak voltage, gets it about right.
There is a slight dimming perhaps, ALL of your power goes into creating light instead of being dumped as heat from the resistor.
It gets easier to get a finer amount of current limiting from higher voltages, with the higher voltage LED's - 3.7V, vs. 2.2V, because the divisional increments are smaller.
i.e. 24V / 3.7 = 6.5 / .8 = 8 LED's
9V / 3.7 = 2.4 / .8 = 3 LED's
This means that you may need to add or remove one LED (or more) from a string to adjust the brightness, below the voltage / thermal run away threshold, and to not be excessively dim.
It doesn't say what kind of LED or what not that it is. I'll give some pictures.
Lamp - High Powered L.E.D.
Batteries - 2 Lithium Coin Cells
Burn Time 12-14 Hours
Beam Angle - 20 Degrees
Weight - 7 Grams With Batteries
You need a 150 or 160 ohm resistor.
Firstly, I'm an Aussie, so my spelling will seam odd (Colour Vs Color)
I have various LED keylights like yours. In fact I have the exact one !
I paid AUD $2.99 (+/- US 75c = $1 Aussie)
Anyway, your figures are out, brother. (I M Very H O)
My guess is that these leds look they have a yellow reflector,
when you look into them (when they are not powered).
i.e. they are water clear but the internal reflector dish is pale lemon colour...
My guess is they are about 10,000 mcd and draw 30mA with a max of 100mA.
(Guess plus source: "page 76" of Jaycar catalogue - Part Number: ZD-0194)
They are fine off a pair of 3v lithiums because the disc cells can only output "x" amount
of current and have high internal resistances. (I read that somewhere... I think)
That negates the need for a resistor.
Connect the same LED to a Lead Acid or worse DC power supply and you'll watch
your LED ($$$) extinguish promptly.
B T D T (Been There Done That).
Mind you, you can always reassemble the keylight and then return it to the vendor saying...
"It don' work ! Can ya swap it over for one tha' does please mate?"
They wont have a clue... and will swap it over (...at least once anyway. GRIN)
... Though it is not very honest.
How do I sleep at night??? I dunno....
Meanwhile back at the ranch, tension mounts...
And falls off again !
The calc for the resistor is as follows:
Note: Dots are to space the equasion, as multiple spaces are ignored by the web page
.......... (Vs - Vled)
R is the Resistor value
VS is Vsource.
VLED is Volt drop of LED
ILED is the Current draw of the LED
VS minus Vled divided by ILED = required Resistor value.
Resistance required = (Supply Volts minus Volt drop of LED) divided by the
Current draw of the LED.
(9v-3.5v) = 5.5v
divided by 35 mA
157 ohm resistor.
Closest Resistor values are 150R or 160R
(source: "page 58" of Jaycar catalogue)
160R is the safe pick.
Ah, but how do I know all this stuff?
I'm not qualified, nor in the industry...
I'm not tall, not too smart (OK, I lied, I'm reasonably smart - GRIN)
I learned all this 5hit by quizing my buddies and grabing all the electronic's store's catalogues !
Try these...
jaycar.com.au (or jaycar.com, I guess)
soanar.com.au (Wholesale but you can B/S your way into a catalogue as I did !)
You can learn a lot, as I did/have/am/will.
Cats make great ref libraries. Free ones at that too !
Naturally, I won't get away with standing on my soapbox like this...
If you found an error in my post...
Please be nice when posting any corrections/errors/boo-boos.
My ego is not impervious to machine gun derision !
I did my best and am human. Humans do make mistakes.
My intent is honourable.. to help.
I hope this has helped.
- eight from Oz
My huge thanks to "Big Bad Brian" and Anthony... my mates...
(Also any share of any derived kudos, from this post. HaHa !)
Because I drive them both totally insane with my perpetual questions about
basic electronics, formulas, component ID's, "What if's" and "Can I do that's"...
As yet, neither have murdered me (Yet !!) for the ongoing electronic inquisition !!
T-Y-V-M Brian & Anthony.
To be fair, Brian took my old Audi and Anthony took my Ex.
We all seem to be happy with the deal and still get on famously.
Personally, I think I got the best deal, though Brian managed to sell the old car at a small profit, so....
Go figure !
There are other methods of making white LED lights, such as tri-colour LEDs that contain red, green and blue LED components in one LED, but the blue/UV LED and phosphor approach is still the most common.
Here's a (US government) site that backs this up (if briefly):
"White light can be achieved with LEDs in two main ways: 1) phosphor conversion, in which a blue or near-ultraviolet (UV) chip is coated with phosphor(s) to emit white light; and 2) RGB systems, in which light from multiple monochromatic LEDs (red, green, and blue) is mixed, resulting in white light."
There's more information on good old Wikpedia:
And on this page, there's a close-up picture of the phosphor in an LED (more of a surface mount-type LED, I think, but the same kind of technology):
You might have a different kind of white LED, but those are the most common. The colour may change when you change the voltage due to a different mix of the blue light from the blue LED components and the other light wavelengths emitted by the phosphor part, but now I'm guessing.
I made one of these bad boys for bar tending to check IDs with. Used 3 UV leds. This baby rocks. And I hot glue like a champion.

Reuters Deal Kicks Off Busy July for Sharon Waxman
This past Friday, TheWrap launched a dramatic expansion of its content syndication partnership with Reuters America. In place of the Hollywood Reporter and Billboard, the website will try to help Reuters aggressively go after AP clients, aided by new film critics Alonso Duralde and Leah Rozen and added music critic Chris Willman.
It's a major coup for website founder Sharon Waxman. FishbowlLA caught up with the former New York Times reporter via telephone on the quiet afternoon of July 1 to get the scoop on how the deal came about.
"Reuters terminated the relationship with the Hollywood Reporter," Waxman confirmed. "This has been in the works for a while now. It's a very big deal for Reuters to do this, because they have clients who've been getting a certain kind of content need for quite a long time and are accustomed to that. So they have to untangle that and sort of prepare their clients for the fact that it's going to change."
