NOCIRC of Southern Nevada is dedicating to educating people in the community about the risks of circumcision. Our goal is to be a well-rounded source of information to help parents make the best decision regarding circumcision.
Frequently Asked Questions
Infant Circumcision (7)
Does circumcision have risks?
Yes. Like any other surgery, circumcision has risks. They include:
- Excessive bleeding
- Infection
- Complications from anesthetics
- Surgical mistakes, including loss of glans and loss of entire penis
- Death
Many circumcised males suffer from:
- Extensive scarring
- Skin tags and skin bridges
- Tearing and bleeding at the scar
- Curvature of the penis
- Tight, painful erections
- Difficulty ejaculating
- Impotence
- Feelings of having been violated
- Feelings of having been mutilated
All circumcised males lose some or most of the sensitivity in their glans and all of the sensitivity in their foreskin.
Circumcision may have risks and complications not yet recognized or understood.

Is circumcision painful?
Yes. Circumcision is extremely painful – and traumatic – for a baby. Just being strapped down is frightening for a baby. Babies are as sensitive to pain as anyone else. Most babies scream frantically when their foreskin is cut off. Some defecate. Some lapse into a coma. The reason some babies don't cry when they are circumcised is that they can't cry because they are in a state of shock. Most babies are circumcised without an anesthetic. Anesthetics injected into the penis don't always work. Being stuck with a needle in the penis is itself painful for a baby. Babies are rarely given pain medication after they are circumcised or during the week to ten days it takes for the wound to heal. Pain medication is not always effective and is never 100% effective.

If my son isn't circumcised, won't he be teased?
Raising an intact boy should include empowering him to compassionately respond to anyone who might ever tease him about being normal and whole.

Why is the foreskin there?
The foreskin comprises as much as half or more of the penile skin system and has three known functions: protective, sensory, and sexual. During infancy, the foreskin is attached to the glans and protects it from urine, feces, and abrasion from diapers. Throughout life, the foreskin keeps the glans soft and moist and protects it from trauma and injury. Without this protection, the glans becomes dry, calloused, and desensitized from exposure and chafing. Specialized nerve endings in the foreskin enhance sexual pleasure. The foreskin may have functions not yet recognized or understood.

What is circumcision?
Circumcision is the cutting off of the fold of skin that normally covers and protects the glans of the penis. This double layer of skin, the prepuce, is commonly known as the foreskin.

Another marathon tale of tragedy has taken a feel-good turn as a couple severely wounded in the April 15 bombings has gotten engaged for Christmas, the Dig has learned.
Paul Norden, one of the Stoneham brothers who lost a leg in the terror attack, and his girlfriend, Jacqui Webb, who was also seriously injured, got engaged yesterday, just hours after Jacqui returned from a trip to France. Jacqui and her twin sister, Janel, were both on a "Boston Heroes" cruise down the Rhone River in France but the sisters left the emotional trip early.
Back in Stoneham, Paul Norden popped the question to Jacqui and they are now engaged. The news was posted on the brothers' Facebook page by Liz Norden, the mother of Paul and his brother J.P., who also lost a leg in the blast.
"After three months of planning and having everything just perfect with help from both families, Paul asked Jacqui to marry him . . . in front of a wedding themed Christmas tree," Liz Norden wrote. "I am pleased to announce to the world that Paul and Jacqui are engaged, and I wish them a lifetime of happiness. I will be so proud to see my son WALK down the aisle with the girl of his dreams."
The couple were at the marathon together outside Forum when the second bomb exploded. Jacqui suffered severe leg injuries that have required several surgeries, as well as burns to her hands.
Jacqui and Janel Webb were among 100 marathon survivors and their families who took part in an emotional, 10-day "healing voyage" last week in France donated by Boston-based Vantage Travel. Another engagement occurred on board the ship when the Norden brothers' friend, James Costello proposed to his girlfriend, Krista D'Agostino. Krista was James' nurse at Spaulding Rehabilitation Center and treated him for the serious burns and wounds he suffered in the explosions.
In her post, Liz Norden detailed the emotional moments and uncertainty that her son had after he awoke from a coma six days after the attack.
"The first words he asked were 'Where's Jacqui and JP?'" she wrote. "Paul looked over at me and said 'Mom, Jacqui isn't going to want me with one leg."
"I remember fighting back tears and feeling so awful for him and saying, 'Paul are you kidding me?'" she continued. "As Janel walks into his hospital room, the first thing he said was 'Janel, Jacqui isn't going to want me with one leg.' As a tear rolls down Janel's cheek, she said, 'Paul, Jacqui loves you with all her heart. She sent me over here to tell you that you better get moving. She wants to see you."
And now they're planning their wedding. Amazing stuff.

- Application Details
I applied through a recruiter. The process took a week – interviewed at CBS Outdoor in October 2009.Interview Details
Initally had a 1st interview with Sales Manager of the department. Walked into the office the first
thing that struck me was the lack of noise for a sales floor. It was deathly quiet.
I was asked a number of odd questions during the interview e.g what my background is?
And whether I'm a "head down - grafter type of worker?"
Passed the 1st interview then had a presentation to do - without much imput in terms
of what they were expecting. Had a weekend to prepare this. Then again had some very odd
questions asked e.g what makes you lose your temper? and when was the last time you
lost your temper? I found it strange as it didn't seem to have much bearing on the job
in hand. Also the feedback they gave me was extremely different to the feedback they
gave the agency so they didn't strike me as particularly upfront or honest.
Seemed overall as though it was a "boiler room" type of atmosphere. Not a good first

Food & Recipes
Vegetarian Caesar Salad
This Recipe Is:
It's a salad —how could it not be vegetarian? Well, Worcestershire sauce has anchovies in it — therefore it isn't vegetarian. The consistency of this dressing is more like a vinaigrette, but you can add more low-fat mayo if you want it thicker. You can find vegetarian Worcestershire sauce in places like Whole Foods. It's also great in Bloody Marys.
Prep: 15 minutes | Cook: 20 minutes | Total Time: 35 minutes
2 tablespoons
1 teaspoon
Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon
vegetarian Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup
parmesan cheese, freshly grated, plus more for garnish
1/2 teaspoon
1/4 cup
olive oil, plus more for tossing croutons
1 small loaf
dense country bread
3 hearts
parmesan cheese, either grated or shaved
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the cider vinegar, mayonnaise, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and Parmesan cheese. Add black pepper to taste.
- Slowly add the olive oil, whisking constantly, until emulsified. Taste and adjust seasonings as necessary and set dressing aside.
- Preheat oven to 375°F with rack in the middle of the oven.
- Cut the each end off the bread and the carefully slice the crust off. Cut the bread into 1 inch cubes and put onto a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle lightly with oil and sprinkle with a healthy pinch of salt and pepper. Bake for 10-20 minutes, depending on how crunchy you like them. Remove from oven and let cool.
- Cut the hearts of romaine into bite-size pieces. Toss lettuce and dressing together in a large bowl. Right before serving, toss in the croutons. Garnish each plate with Parmesan cheese and a slice of lemon.

Photo of the Week: Maasai Women Improve Their Dairy Incomes
November 08, 2013
After improving their business practices, Elizabeth Talash Naikoni and other members of Maasai Women Dairy cooperative have nearly quadrupled their sales.
Like most women in the Maasai community in Kenya, Elizabeth Talash Naikoni is up at dawn to milk her cows. After her husband died, the 58-year-old widow and mother of six was left to provide for her family. She sold beadwork to supplement her dairy income, but was forced to sell some of her cows in order to keep her children in school.
In 2003, Elizabeth and other women in her community had formed a business group that collected milk from members to sell in neighboring towns. But proceeds were meager until TechnoServe began working with the women in 2011, helping the women improve their business skills and establish Maasai Women Dairy as a formal cooperative. TechnoServe also trained the women in better farming techniques and natural resource management.
The cooperative has grown to more than 3,200 active members and has quadrupled its sales in the last year alone. Elizabeth has increased her income from milk and opened a bank account for the first time. With her new income, she was able to build a modern iron-sheet house and three solar lanterns that allow her grandchildren to study at night.
"You cannot climb a tree from the top," Elizabeth says. "It is humble beginnings that lead to great achievement."
Learn more about our work with Maasai Women Dairy.
Thanks to our Board of Directors, every dollar you donate will be matched through November 30. Please make the most generous gift you can today to help even more people like Elizabeth lift themselves and their communities out of poverty.

A Visit to the MLB Fan Cave
Yesterday, your SportsNewser editor took a trip down to New York's Greenwich Village to tour Major League Baseball's "MLB Fan Cave."
Back in March we covered the announcement of MLB's "Dream Job" winner, Mike O'Hara, who would watch every minute of every game from the cave, and would also star in a web series produced by Endemol USA. We spoke to O'Hara, who had a rare afternoon off, with all of the day's games slated for the evening.
The Fan Cave is built in the old Tower Records space in the Village, a sprawling, three-story space filled to the bring with baseball art and memorabilia.
O'Hara and his "wing man," Ryan Wagner, typically watch all the games in a comfortable sitting area, with 15 Sony HDTV's that can tune into every game being played. When they aren't watching games, there is is also a bar stocked with Pepsi and Budweiser (who sponsor the cave, Natch) a videogame setup, and a gaming area. Below is the MLB-branded pool table with Red Sox balls, as a Yankees cap wearing Jay-Z smiles in the background.

Has anyone used Total CVs ?

Never used one of these sites, plenty of free advice out there on how to set up your cv the same anyway, i have enough calls from my CV as it is.
But this i can't work out of it worries me or seems like a good idea....
CV Writing Pricing | Total CVs
Their pricing page shows 3 packages for 4 levels of experience, and EVERY one of them says "Quotation given after free CV review"
I had a reply about my CV and it scored quite low 16/30 [ not surprising, the last time I was in the job market was 6 years ago and I have kept the same format etc ]
I am wondering if it's worth a punt at £30
Total CVs: Free CV review, bespoke professional CVs, Graduate CVs, executive CVs, cover letters and more.
Should have prices......
Reed had an offer of a free review from "The fullercv" or similar. I signed up went through the steps and then it asked me to call a phone number and tell them my reference, then they would talk me through a review. I couldn't be bothered at the time and have since landed a new job so not too worried.
I didn't but two of my friends did and they said that were completely useless and pretty unprofessional and just use templates even though they advertise bespoke cv's - both of their cv's were almost identicle. Me and a group of friends used The Successful CV Company, thesuccessfulcv[dot]com who spent loads of time talking through everything and they offer things like twelve months unlimited updates and editing to your cv at no extra cost. They have lots of extras that persuaded me and my mates to buy off them.
Seems a bit silly to pay for it when there are so many free resources out there (granted, you have to sort through the rubbish and ignore American orientated advice) and of course advice from Edugeek members :)
I used the Fuller CV a few years ago but don't think I would recommend them. Initially I thought they were quite good but when I received the CV the metadata had some random person's name in and I didn't actually seem to be getting anywhere with job applications. They have some guarantee which involves sending them details of jobs you have applied for and why you didn't get them and it was obvious that they didn't read things properly. The response I got was "these jobs all require knowledge and experience of Active Directory" so then pointed out to them that this was clearly mentioned in my CV. I would have pursued it but got a job through completing an application form.
I find the best way to get CV's checked and to get tips is if you know anyone in HR etc.. (Not at your employer, friends, friends of friends etc...) They usually will help you out for the cost of a pint.
I had an initial review from them. It was pretty harsh for a CV that has never fasiled to get me an interview, but I wanted a second opinion.
I checked the LinkedIn profile of the guy who did the initial review (via the link he put on his company email signature). He has been with the company for three months, has only been working since 2009 and has previously worked as a receptionist and a conference helper. No prior experience of CVs.
In fact his own LinkedIn profile was so appallingly written that I sent him a series of amendments to incorporate!
He has zero qualifications and zero experience and has the cheek to to critique a CV that he clearly has no understanding of.
Therefore I would advise steering well clear of this company given the quality of the free CV review. They are liable to do more harm than good.
or you could offer @witch some incentives and see if she will help you out?
I would advise extreme caution concerning this company. I have just had a letter sent to their offices marked as 'return to sender, gone away'. The product they provide is also inferior. I erred into buying one of their CV's and was advised later by someone in recruitment that the CV I used was awful and they re-did it for me. As suggested the internet is full of useful advice if prepared to take the slightly longer route and not use shortcuts.
Hi All ! I'd just like to thank everyone for saving me £ 99.95 ! Yes, I'm desperately fed-up with Recruitment sites & Consultants, who can't be bothered to read {or don't know how & what to read for ? } Cv's ! ! !
Several different 'Consultants' complain my Cv is not what is expected, but hey, I've worked in umpteen differeny posts since I finished my Mechanical apprenticeship { quarter CENTURY ago ! !} I guess there are good reviewers out there, but in the main, I thank the majority of you who advise along the lines of " a fool and his money are soon parted ! " Thanks all !
Another one for witch she seems to give some sensible advice and has looked at a few peoples CV's for them so might worth a try if she isn't to busy and is willing to help.
Can I just point out that this is an old thread and I did indeed sort out a cv for @mattx which I think helped get him a job.

4 Tips for Checking Facebook at Work
Whether you're online all day or hop onto Facebook on your work computer just to quickly peruse your newsfeed, lawmakers are cracking down, as per a piece on U.S. News & World Report,
Social media privacy laws have been introduced or they're pending in 35 states, says the National Conference of State Legistlators. That's not all — since this past January, five states (Arkansas, Colorado, New Mexico, Utah and Washington), implemented legislation that makes it prohibitive for employers to access employees' social media passwords.
That said, there are some loopholes. For instance, per the piece there's a new law in Utah that allows employers to request employees' passwords for Facebook or Twitter when the tech device has been supplied by or paid for by the company. Whether it was paid by the employer in whole or in part, the law still applies. Read more

I have been watching CL for a while now for a deal on a bit faster bike then my Diamondback Insight Hybrid, I have been riding the DB for about 3 months 4-5 times a week around 15 miles a night and usually a 30 mile ride on weekends. That being said I found this 2004 5200 on CL. The bike ended up being flawless and looks absolutely new, guy said he had probably ridden it all of 200 miles and it looks like it! He was the original owner and came with all the paperwork from new. I don't have a computer on it yet and rode about 15 miles last night and get back to see what times I had run on my Strava only to find out for some reason it did not record I was bummed. LOL Oh well see what happens tonight .Here is a picture.

What a neat idea! I didn't really notice this thread when you first started it, but I have to say I have been hooked for a while now. Amazing work!
Are you going to set the straw up on some sort of standoff so that it is not right up against the finished mold face? I imagine with a little material around the straw leakage isn't really a concern. The straw is pretty much the non removable mold for the heating water tube if I am guessing your thinking correctly.
|Jun 15, 2011, 12:32 PM
Yes, Hutch, you're following....I will put down two layers of surface coat, two layers of very light weave, and also a layer of continuous strand veil cloth before I place the straw conduit into the sandwich....
One of the first places to wear on a multi-piece mould like this, is the edge along which you trim semi-green parts just prior to joining. As a result, it's a very slow and tedious process to try and freehand.
This aluminum insert in the mould face will help to provide a nice durable trimming edge face. Notice the external grooving to aid in bonding with the tool surface coat.
It will also form an overflow channel to give excess resin during joining a place to go.
It might also provide a calibrated groove in which a custom trimming blade jig might ride...
Here's a source link (for future reference, 36" weighed in at 205 g)
...and here's the idea...
|Jun 15, 2011, 12:39 PM
Are you concerned about the significant higher coefficient of thermal expansion of the aluminum over the GFRP....especially in mold that will undergo a heat treatment? Steel has a much closer CTE to the GFRP.
|Jun 15, 2011, 12:46 PM
|Jun 15, 2011, 12:55 PM
|Jun 18, 2011, 05:39 PM
OK, first of all - thank you for your patience - I know that this takes forever, and now I've gone and switched things all around on you....
We still have the semi-spherical registration keys - but there are fewer of them. Fewer means less effort in keeping them clean and free from build-up. In an effort to maximize their effect however, they are placed at the extremes of the mould sections.
We still have the 1/4"-20 thread inserts for joining. There are a couple new ones. You can also see that I've countersunk the two on the end faces so that they will not interfere with removing the leading edge section.
The new bits are the extruded aluminum T-slot ways. I've filled them with clay, and then screwed them down to the parting board.
They will provide a nice flat, and wear-resistant face to trim against.
They will also act as an overflow channel during assembly.
But mostly, they give me the option of speeding things up considerably if needed at some time down the road. By vacuum sealing across the flange face and controlling resin flow into each of the nine overflow channels, while drawing vaccum from the underside through the gear bays it will be possible to infuse parts rather quickly.
I left the conduit for the heating circuit on top just for the sake of the picture: of course it will be embedded in the layup.
|Jun 21, 2011, 04:56 PM
These bright white LED's will provide some light in the cavities where the control rods will extend past the trailing edge during final assembly.
(...because I'll be sure to be an old grey man with bad eyes by the time this thing's done!!)

Why not just a simple two piece mold like has been done on wings for years? You could be flying one by now.
Your mold heater idea works well. I saw a guy do one and hooked it to his water heater which recirculated hot water through it. He used plastic hose from the hardware store though.
Looks cool, have fun!
|Jun 22, 2011, 09:11 PM
Alright, it's been 8 weeks setting up the first section of the wing mould. But it's good news / good news: I'll be starting the layup this evening / the next sections will be much quicker.
I've added some artwork that will be cast into the end faces of the mould (just for a little fun) and I've also updated the tool ID tag.
Stay tuned, there'll be ongoing pics, and so without further adieu...
|Jun 24, 2011, 08:03 AM
That's the first coat of tool coat applied, with particular attention to over hangs. Generally I mix up about 100 grams and put it into tight corners like where the part meets the parting board first while it still flows like no tomorrow. Once it starts to get a little thicker I move onto vertical walls, overhangs and the like.
I'll let this set up for an hour or two, and then I'll give it a second coat of tooling epoxy. I'm shooting for about 1/16" thick and complete coverage.
Haha - my tool ID tag fell off, but both bulldog tags stayed put - can't win for losing. I'll stick the tool ID tag on later I guess.
|Jun 24, 2011, 08:46 AM
Maybe this will be of use to someone else too.
|Jun 24, 2011, 11:03 AM
2 of 2 coats applied tooling epoxy
|Jun 24, 2011, 12:32 PM
This is very light cloth. Mostly it's scraps of 1/2 and 3/4 oz/^yd
that I've set aside when covering other models in the past. I haven't laid any epoxy on it yet, just put it down on the tacky surface coat.
This is what you won't see a lot of others doing: they should.
I've placed it into all of the tight corners. What you do not want are air bubbles and voids. A heavier cloth will show through the tool coat over time and the surface veil will not stay in the tight corners.
|Jun 24, 2011, 01:21 PM
I've wet out the light cloth ensuring that it's into all the tight spots.
OK - I've now been working for 8hrs straight (can you say morphine) and I'm just about to start putting down surface veil. I hope you can see that this is something for which you need to set aside a couple of very long days and nights. Once you start, you don't want to stop or you'll need to sand the entire thing before continuing. (it never works out...)

Something which, even after 35 years plus of gardening together, the DH and I are still fine tuning is the issue of where to put stuff to grow, keeping in mind the path of the sun versus the orientation of our garden beds. In the picture above, taken this morning at about 11:30, you see your dear Aunty, standing outside (in the rather windy 16 degrees F, I might add – the things I do for you guys..) in one of the garden beds, in the snow, holding up a door.
Now, if you look at the shadow, flaring off toward the bottom center of the photograph, you will be reminded of the fact that this is mid-February and at 11:30 a.m., the sun is actually rather low in the sky. If this were May or June, by 11:30 a.m., that sun would be pretty close to right over my head (and I would not be standing out in the garden wearing my heavy coat, hat and gloves, either). My pose is not a re-enactment of Horace Greeley's famous phrase (and I am pointing rather Northwest rather than directly west); I am pointing in the direction of the path of the sun in the summer. Because of the way our property is situated and the orientation of the garden beds, we get a rather oblique angle on the sun's path here.
But this is merely an introduction to the issue of the door (what other insane person would stand out in the winter with a door to demonstrate this? I ask you). This is NOT a door (well, actually it IS a door). This is, you will have to imagine, a row of sunflowers, or corn, or something else rather tall. And all of which begins it's life as a row of something rather short but which becomes something extremely tall and dense before half the summer is over. It literally becomes something LIKE a door. Dense, dark, and solid.
And which casts an extremely wide and long shadow over anything that is planted to either side of it.
Last summer, in one of those last moment fits of gardening madness, the DH decided he wanted to put sunflowers into the garden. Because we'd already planted nearly every other bed, we were left with one of the beds at the eastern end of the arrangement. To say those sunflowers dominated that garden last year is to put it mildly. On one side of the sunflowers was a brand new bed we put in last year which had tomatoes in it. Once the day was past noon, those tomatoes were basically trying to grow in the dark. Disaster. The plants crouched on the ground as if waiting to be attacked. It was like we were re-playing "Day of the Triffids" in the garden. On the other side of the sunflowers were potatoes and some cabbage family plants, which suffered in the early morning (when the sun is not terribly effective in any case up here), but which ended up doing fine because they had all the sun from noon through 8:30 when the sun dropped down behind the hill. That end of the garden did..just..fine.
So, lesson learned.
First: plan out your garden on paper. Depending on the path of the sun at YOUR house (and all other forms of shade from trees, out buildings and so on), put the tall things where they will cast their shade at the end of the day. In our case, if the DH wants to grow corn or sunflowers again, we will reserve the farthest west garden bed for him. And we will mulch and compost accordingly because corn is very greedy in that way.
Second: Start the planting according to the path of the sun — that is, plant the beds or side closest to where the sun comes up, and move in the direction of the path of the sun as it moves through the day. That way, you will end up at the end that if you want to put something tall in, or change your mind, or discover something else that is tall that you want to do (climbing beans, cucumbers on a trellis, etc.), you'll be able to do that without shading out anything else.
Third: Stick with the plan. I cannot tell you how many times we have ended up sticking odd stuff in little out of the way spots because someone decided "Oh, joy – I have a wizard idea – let's plant this!!" Think the whole thing through – now is as good a time as any – and stick to the plan. Much better in the long run.

Hey everybody, I want to eventually make the jump to All-Grain. It won't happen overnight, but it WILL happen. I just acquired 3 kegs to get myself started.
I tried to browse the user gallery, but that's a whole lot of pictures to sort through...although I did see a couple setups that made me drool.
Can you guys post your pictures of your "brewery" setup? I want to get some ideas and I need some inspiration.
I plan on having the whole setup on a single metal frame on wheels. Probably a single tier setup.
You see, I am venturing into new territory here. So point me in the right direction, or at least give me a nudge!
Thanks guys!
check my gallery its alot to do but well worth the time put into it
Look here at my photobucket site... I have alot of pics and videos of my setup and some brewing. I just built this rack system on wheels this year, it works great!! http://s168.photobucket.com/albums/u...ediafilter=all
Those are 10 gallon coolers, through the wall digital therms, SS sparge arm, my new keggle is in there somewhere. My burner is 55k BTU and does a great job of boiling, yet it is really efficient once the boil starts. I have a fridge and a freezer with a Johnson Controls temp controller.
I just saw Scuba Steve's setup. Check it out if you haven't seen it. The stained wood really looks cool. I always imagined my setup being all metal, but the wood really has a nice look to it, and it'd be a lot cheaper than all of the metal.
I'm not sold on all wood just yet. I've aquired about 20 bedframes to use as much angle as I'd ever need. It's certainly not the best grade of steel but it ought to work OK. We'll see.
Check out lil Sparky's. WHEN I build mine (I've already talked to my boss about him welding it for me) thats deffinatly the style I'd go for.
Good luck

Winsor Trail is pretty much good to go, depending on how much you like to pucker. I shuttled with Chapman505 & our buddy Chuck Freeman this morn & had a frickn blast. Honestly, if you just ride slower & keep your eyes peeled, its all good. Theres one super-dangerous sloped ice patch on the lower end of the steep meadow just above the Borrego/Winsor intersection Do not ride this section unless you want to get hurt!!! As you will see in the vid, riding this stretch will bring a lot of blood & pain into your world, especially if you hit it as fast as Chuck was going. Chuck rode the rest of the way out, once he could move his hand, and is good, after a trip to the doc & several stitches.
We dropped into the top (close to 10,000 ft) at 9:45am, so we saw good traction in the snow, & frozen, dry sections of trail. Most of the ice had a little tooth on the surface, but there are definitely a few slippery surprises in there. Even the bottom near Tesuque was pretty well frozen. We were able to ride the frozen ice across the stream crossings near the bottom. If anyone is dying to for some big downhill & high mountains, its good to go, if you make sure to hit it in the morning. I went up & hit some nice spring ski conditions after the MTB ride. It was a pretty nice day, being able to do my 2 favorite things
It was great to finally get out on the bike this year!

text: Lauda scoffs at idea that engine volume can be turned up 20 March, 2014 Niki Lauda It is absurd to suggest that Formula 1 engine manufacturers should urgently turn up the volume of the new V6 turbo engines. That is the view of Mercedes Team Chairman Niki Lauda, who days ago in Melbourne admitted the sound of the 22 cars charging to the first corner left him 'underwhelmed'. Williams technical boss Pat Symonds agrees: "For me the start is the most exciting part of the race, and I loved it when the 22 drivers revved up their engines." "I don't generally complain about the sound, but at the start (in Melbourne) it did seem a bit quiet," he told Auto Motor und Sport. Lauda, however, said: "The debate about the engine noise is absurd – you can't change that now. "It was decided by all parties five years ago that they wanted turbo engines, and so we put in a turbocharger before the exhaust. "It has a different sound, any child knows that," the great Austrian told Osterreich newspaper. "If you take the turbo away, you don't have hybrid engines anymore." As for the duller sound, "We have to get used to it," Lauda insisted. With a slightly more open attitude, however, is Lauda's Mercedes colleague Toto Wolff. "I'm not much of an engineer," he told Finland's Turun Sanomat newspaper. "These things will be looked at. "If it is decided that something must be done, then we would have to think about it carefully. "I would think that it is possible, but whether it is right, I don't know. "The V8 engines sounded fantastic, but I saw (the Melbourne race) up close, and I can assure you that Formula 1 is still the top of motor sports, it's not GP2. "This (move to V6) was the right step," Wolff insisted. (GMM) Subbed by AJN.

Question: Let's talk 24: Live Another Day. What are your thoughts on the season so far? I have to say, I'm loving it! The two-hour opener wasn't the best, and I'm not thrilled about the Chloe with the dragon tattoo, but it's been getting progressively better each week, and it's starting to feel like the 24 that I used to love (i.e., up to Season 5.) By the end of the original series, they had lost what made it great: the intriguing peripheral characters, politics and side-stories, and completely focused on indestructible Jack and his band of disposable supporting players. But this season he's found a worthy sidekick in Kate, we have all the drama around Heller and his team, the Russians lurking in the background, and I'm really digging where they're going with the hipster CIA tech. (Could we have a new Chloe on our hands?)

Jennifer Beals
Jennifer Beals revisits her Flashdance days on this week's episode of Motive — only this time she's the teacher, not the student.
Beals guest-stars as a dance instructor who finds herself the target of Angie's (Kristin Lehman) investigation into a killing that initially seems like a case of self-defense during a home invasion, but quickly morphs into something more sinister. What does she have to hide?
Kristin Lehman, Louis Ferreira. Brendan Penny
Detective Angie Flynn is married to her work on ABC's Motive, and that's completely fine with actress Kristin Lehman.
"I love the fact that people just want to see this woman not fall into the same conventions so easily," Lehman tells TVGuide.com. "I go back and forth on [wanting her to have a love interest]. ... I don't want to say no to a romance just for the sake of avoiding convention, but I just feel like if we do ever explore that, that won't be her main focus, ever. And I think that's really interesting, because I don't know very many female protagonists on television where their romantic relationship isn't their main relationship. And I really value that.
It's not a whodunit, it's a whydunit! ABC's Motive returns for its sophomore season on Wednesday, May 21 (10/9c), doing what most crime shows wouldn't dare: The killer is revealed in the opening moments of each episode.
"It's so much more compelling than having eight suspects," says Dennis Heaton, showrunner of the Canadian import series. "When things happen in life — whether it's something as tragic as a death or as trivial as a parking ticket — one of our most important questions is: 'Why did this happen?'"

ABC's Motive returns from a brief hiatus on Thursday, and star Brendan Penny says the episode, titled "Against All Odds," may present a moral quandary for viewers.
"I think in all of our episodes, you can kind of relate to the decisions of the killers at times," Penny, who plays young Det. Brian Lucas, tells TVGuide.com. "I like this one a lot because this is one of the stories where you really, really, really do sympathize with the killer."

Jordan Gavaris and Tatiana Maslany
Question: After finishing Saturday's season finale of Orphan Black, many thoughts come to mind, but the most obvious is that if Tatiana Maslany doesn't walk away with the Emmy for best actress — or is it five nominations in the best supporting actress category? — then the people who vote just aren't watching TV. Every character she plays has such varied distinction from hair, voice, even walks, and other minor mannerisms and played them all with a determination like it was her only character. It might have been easy to phone one or two in and at times you could forget it all one person. Matt, I know you enjoy the show, but I was curious: Did you ever at any time find yourself picking a favorite? I think mine came to be Alison, because while they all have a dark side, the one who seemed to be the most sunshine and light was probably the darkest of all with a heavy dose of comedy thrown in. Can the show sustain excellence in Season 2? — Jeffrey

Denver, Colo.
This year, all eyes will be on Colorado as numerous ballot initiatives have been proposed that could impact the future of hydraulic fracturing. The citizen-initiated petitions that have been proposed are the result of prolific oil and gas development that is occurring in the Niobrara shale along Colorado's front range.
The Niobrara shale is located in the Denver-Julesburg basin. With the advances in horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing, development has surged along Colorado's populated front range. And it is this development's close proximity to populated areas that has resulted in citizens attempting to regulate the industry through the ballot box.
Fracing bans
In November 2013, four Colorado municipalities had citizen-initiated petitions on the ballot: Boulder, Broomfield, Lafayette, and Fort Collins. These cities are all within the Niobrara shale. Each petition sought to enact voter-approved ordinances or charter amendments prohibiting hydraulic fracturing and related activities.
Each petition passed.
In Boulder, 67% of voters sided in favor of the moratorium. In Fort Collins and Lafayette, 55% and 58% respectively cast their votes in favor of banning fracturing. And in Broomfield, after a back-and-forth recount and an election challenge, that city's moratorium narrowly passed.
These four ballot initiatives follow a successful measure that passed in Longmont. Longmont, which is another city along Colorado's Front Range within the Niobrara shale, passed a voter-initiated charter amendment in 2012 that bans hydraulic fracturing and the disposal or storage of related waste within the city limits. This voter-initiated ban was passed shortly after the Longmont City Council adopted extensive regulations relating to oil and gas operations within its jurisdiction. The Longmont regulations set forth a detailed regulatory scheme that address topics ranging from when multi-well sites, and directional and horizontal drilling techniques can be used; setback requirements; chemical reporting rules; and the protection of wildlife habitat.
In response to these citizen-initiated regulations and prohibitions, litigation quickly followed. Longmont is embroiled in litigation against the State of Colorado and the Colorado Oil and Gas Association (COGA) over its regulations and the citizen-initiated bans. A trial is currently set for August 2014. COGA has also sued Fort Collins and Lafayette, challenging their bans as well.
State preemption
In Colorado, the state policy is to encourage the full development of natural resources for the benefit of all citizens. With respect to oil and gas resources, the oil and gas industry is regulated by the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC). COGCC's statutory mandates include fostering, encouraging, and promoting the development, production, and utilization of oil and gas resources in the state consistent with the protection of public health, safety, and welfare.
To accomplish its mission, COGCC has a set of rules and regulations that govern all aspects of oil and gas development and operations in the state. These rules include, among others, permitting, drilling, production, spacing, unitization, chemical treatment of wells, and setback requirements. COGCC's rules also address environmental concerns relating to air, water, and soil. Commentators often refer to Colorado's regulations as a model for the industry.
Colorado also has home-ruled municipalities. Under the Colorado Constitution, a home-rule municipality has the right to self-governance in purely local, municipal matters. The Colorado Constitution provides that a home-rule municipality's ordinances pertaining to local matters supersede, within its territorial limits, any law of the state in conflict therewith. Zoning authority and land use have routinely been recognized as matters of local concern that are within a home-rule municipality's power to regulate.
As a result of these two competing interests, the battle between state and local regulation of oil and gas development in Colorado has resulted in a well-developed body of preemption case law in Colorado. Under applicable law, while the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Act does not completely preempt county regulations, local regulations may be partially or totally preempted to the extent that they conflict with the achievement of the state's interests. Colorado courts have reasoned that the state's interest in efficient oil and gas development and production throughout the state is sufficiently dominant to override a home-rule city's imposition of a total ban on the drilling of any oil, gas, or hydrocarbon wells within city limits.
It is against this backdrop that groups opposed to fracing have submitted ballot initiatives in an attempt to constitutionally overcome existing preemption law that places local fracing bans at risk of being declared preempted under existing state law.
Ballot initiatives
The Colorado Secretary of State's office has been flooded with oil and gas ballot initiatives. In January 2014, the Colorado Community Rights Network's Right to Local Self Government initiative was the first to be submitted. This proposed constitutional amendment is broad. The amendment would give local communities the right to enact local laws relating to any type of business operating in their jurisdiction—these laws would not be subject to the preemptive forces of state law, according to its proponents. While the Community Rights Network's amendment does not specifically mention hydraulic fracturing, the intent is undoubtedly aimed at giving local municipalities the ability to ban fracing.
Since the filing of the Community Rights Amendment, additional constitutional amendments have been submitted that are expressly aimed at giving local communities the ability to regulate oil and gas development. These ballot initiatives attempt to give local communities the ability to pass laws that are more restrictive than laws passed by the General Assembly or regulations promulgated by COGCC. Some of these proposed initiatives even attempt to take on the Takings issue by declaring that any such law, rule, or prohibition would not constitute a Taking requiring just compensation.
In addition to the local control amendments, a group of proposed initiatives also seek to insert oil and gas setback requirements directly into the state constitution. Setback requirements in Colorado were revised by COGCC in August 2013. The proposed initiatives seek to amend COGCC's recently amended regulations. Depending on which initiatives proceed forward, the proposals would change the setback requirements for occupied structures to 1,500-2,600 ft for new oil and gas wells.
In response to these proposed initiatives, competing initiatives have also been proposed. One proposed ballot initiative would expressly state in the Colorado Constitution that local governments cannot enact laws, regulations, or charter provisions regulating oil and gas development or operations in a manner that is more restrictive or in conflict with regulations adopted by COGCC. Another initiative sponsored by Frank McNulty, the former Speaker of the Colorado House of Representatives, would change state law by prohibiting local governments that ban or prohibit energy development from receiving a share of state tax revenue that comes from oil and gas development.
The deadline to submit signatures for the various ballot measures is Aug. 4, 2014. It remains to be seen which initiatives will actually make it onto the ballot in November. Assuming one or more initiatives make it onto the ballot, certainty will not be achieved on election night. More litigation will follow.
Even though the local control initiatives attempt to overturn Colorado's law on preemption, challenges will still be made given the language of the initiatives. Constitutional issues will also take center stage. The Taking issue will be litigated.
While the language of the Takings Clause is straightforward, the Takings case law that has developed is anything but clear. In the oil and gas context, one law may be held to be a Taking while a similar law may not be found to constitute a Taking. This round of citizen initiated legislation could also bring the US Constitution's Guarantee Clause into the mix. The Guarantee Clause guarantees each state a republican form of government. What that means in today's climate of ever increasing citizen initiated legislation is anyone's guess. But it will likely be raised should one or more oil and gas ballot initiatives pass.
The future of fracing in Colorado is at risk. All eyes will be on Colorado in November.

EFaucets Customer Service is Horrible Out $1000 for Cracked Sink
Posted by
RACINE, WISCONSIN -- A poster on my favorite home improvement blog told me about your site. I want to warn other consumers you should order from EFaucets at your own risk. I ordered a $1000 Shaw Farmhouse sink from them 7/29/09. Unknowingly, my husband signed for the sink from the freight company ESTES while I was at work without opening the box before they left. The outside was totally undamaged when we got it and was on a pallet so I didn't even think about checking it either. That was a huge mistake. When my installers went to put the sink in on 11/2/09 (which I totally realize was 3 months later), the whole sink is cracked and totally un usable. I called to ask what we might be able to do about it and they told me "sorry" it is the customer's responsibility to open the box and inspect before the freight company leaves. I kept asking for some type of assistance and was told "sorry there is nothing we can do". I called the manufacturer and they are not an authorized dealer so there is nothing they can do about it either. So lesson learned, I will never buy fragile/large/expensive items online again. I personally will never buy from Efaucets.com ever again because of this horrible experience. I caution others to do the same or at least "buyer beware" and read all the little fine print.
I reported them to the BBB in their state and wrote a letter to the CEO. No response as of today 11/9/09.
Thought I would share.

Stay away from these people. Customer service is horrible. I ordered a sink and a toilet that was supposed to be delivered in 3-10 days. The toilet arrived, but when I called about the sink I was told that it would be 3-4 weeks. When I tried to cancel they would not let me. They were nasty and would not let me speak to a supervisor. I will never do business with them again.

Perhaps the sink is on backorder; it happens, especially if it's a popular item. It may have been in stock when you placed the order, but when they did the actual ordering process. I guess they didn't think to send you an email letting you know that in the first place.
Is there anyway you can go online to your account and cancel it?
Anonymous on 11/09/2009:
I wouldn't ask their permission to cancel it, I would just call them and tell them you have cancelled. Then you call your credit card company and have them kick back the cost of the sink, for non-delivery.
MSCANTBEWRONG on 11/09/2009:
Good advice bkk and Ken
Gmarudy on 11/09/2009:
How can these people @ eFaucets continue to get by with this? On their website their Product Availability policy reads, and I quote:
âIf an item you purchased is out of stock and must be specially ordered from the manufacturer your credit card will be charged for the full amount of the order. This transaction is considered a deposit for the special-order items and is fully refundable if you choose to cancel your order before the special order item has been shipped.â I am in conflict with them right now, and if not resolved in 5 days with 100% refund I will be filing complaints with the Wisconsin Attorney General's office, Wisconsin Consumer Protection, Better Business Bureau, BuySafe,PayPal, Swanstone Factory, and every local, state and national politician in Wisconsin. I suspect a class action lawsuit will get their attention.
DavidinNJ on 11/10/2009:
I like the idea of a class action suit. Let me know if you are going to contact the AG's office. I will also contact them.

Correct. The Government is over stepping their power. I'm so sick of our Government thinking they can do what they want and when ever. People of this country needs to take back the power of the government like in the old days. But anyway you are right. The government needs to keep out the NFL business and stop wasting tax payer money.
Seems like a waste of taxpayer money just to get even more taxpayer money.
Posted 24 March 2012 - 02:42 AM
LOL Good Luck with getting the government to find a way to make the gas cheaper. The government is been paid by the oil companies to keep them out of this. So oil companies can keep raising the price of oil and gas.
Good luck getting anyone in Washington to do a damn thing.How about not fuging with our sports and find a way to make gas affordable. *****!

Another View: The inconvenient truth about electric cars
The New York Times' John M. Broder reported Friday that the Tesla Model S electric car he was test-driving repeatedly ran out of juice, partly because cold weather reduces the battery's range by about 10 percent.
Broder's trip turned into a nightmare, including a stretch with the conked-out car riding the back of a flatbed truck.
Tesla chief executive Elon Musk fired back on Monday, tweeting that Broder's report is a "fake" and that "vehicle logs" show he "didn't actually charge to max & took a long detour."
The Times is standing by its story. My take is that even if Musk is 100 percent right and Broder is 100 percent wrong - which I doubt - Musk loses.
Who wants a $101,000 car that might die just because you feel like taking "a long detour"?
President Obama repeatedly declared that, with enough federal aid, we can put a million electric vehicles on the road by 2015. His administration has invested about $5 billion in grants, guaranteed loans - including $465 million for Tesla - and tax incentives to buyers.
Yet Americans bought just 71,000 plug-in hybrids or all-electric vehicles in the past two years, according to GreenCarReports.com. That's about a third as many as the Energy Department forecast in a 2011 report that attempted to explain why Obama's goal was not preposterous.
Federal billions cannot overcome the fact that electric vehicles and plug-in electric hybrids meet few, if any, of real consumers' needs. Compared with gas-powered cars, they deliver inferior performance at much higher cost. As an American Physical Society symposium on battery research concluded last June: "Despite their many potential advantages, all-electric vehicles will not replace the standard American family car in the foreseeable future."
If you don't believe the scientists, listen to Takeshi Uchiyamada, the "father" of the Toyota Prius: "Because of its shortcomings - driving range, cost and recharging time - the electric vehicle is not a viable replacement for most conventional cars."
Even Nissan chief Carlos Ghosn, whose commitment to the all-electric Leaf helped his firm get a $1.4 billion U.S. loan guarantee, has reduced his boosterism in the face of disappointing sales.
Nor do electric cars promise much in the way of greenhouse-gas reduction, as long as they rely on a power grid that is still mostly fired by fossil fuels.
As for Vice President Joe Biden's 2009 forecast of "billions and billions and billions of dollars in good, new jobs," the electric car factory at which he made that statement sits idle. Ditto the taxpayer-backed Michigan factory of battery maker LG Chem. Two Energy Department-funded lithium-ion battery makers have gone bankrupt.
There's simply no denying that the administration's electric-vehicle project was a mistake.
But it's worth asking precisely what kind of mistake (beyond eminently foreseeable and terribly expensive). As Bruce Springsteen once sang: "Is a dream a lie if it don't come true, or is it something worse?"
I accept the President's good intentions. He didn't set out to rip off the public. Nor was the electric-car dream a Democrats-only delusion. Several Republican pols shared it, too.
Rather, the debacle is a case study in unchecked righteousness. The administration assumed the worthiness and urgency of its goals. Americans should want electric cars, and therefore they would, apparently.
Energy Secretary Steven Chu, he of the Nobel Prize in physics, epitomized the regnant blend of sanctimony and technocratic hubris. He once told journalist Michael Grunwald that photosynthesis is "too damn inefficient," and that DOE might help correct that particular error of evolution.
The department has recently backed away from the million-car target, in favor of reducing battery costs to $300 per kilowatt hour by 2015 (from $650 today). Even this seems dubious, given the APS symposium's view that "only incremental improvements can be expected" in lithium-ion batteries.
Chu is on his way out but still dreaming. "For the engineers in the room or those who follow this, you might be saying to yourself, 'What are they smoking?'" he remarked at the Washington Auto Show. "We're not smoking anything. They are ambitious goals but they are achievable goals."
I might add that Chu does not own a car.

Manage herbicide resistance through multiple modes of action.
SureStart® II herbicide contains three nonglyphosate modes of action to control tough weeds, including waterhemp, marestail and giant ragweed. Click here to learn more.
Consistent weed control from SureStart® II herbicide.
Giant foxtail
Giant foxtail commonly occurs in cultivated fields, pastures, waste ground, landscapes and any open area with nutrient-rich soil.
Click here for weed control solutions.
For herbicides, multiple modes of action matter.
By Luke Peters, corn herbicides product manager, Dow AgroSciences
Did you know 13 states, including Illinois, Indiana and Missouri, have confirmed herbicide-resistant Palmer amaranth in cornfields?*
Palmer amaranth is on a growing list of highly competitive weeds that often are resistant to herbicides. Because of spreading resistance issues, implementing management strategies is vital to its prevention.
Using a herbicide with multiple modes of action is an ideal way to manage herbicide-resistant weeds in your field. It's an effective strategy because weeds resistant to a specific mode of action can be targeted by the other modes of action. SureStart® II herbicide contains three nonglyphosate modes of action, which means it controls weeds in three ways to give corn the clean start it needs.
With its powerful residual control coupled with multiple modes of action, SureStart® II controls high-anxiety and resistant weeds, including Palmer amaranth, giant ragweed, waterhemp and marestail.

Academic Regulations (3Rs)
Additional resources
These Regulations, Policies and Procedures apply to all taught programmes and to all students registered for modules on those programmes for the academic year 2014/15, and until further notice.
Any change to a University regulation must be approved by Academic Board.

In such a case, the required variation must be specifically approved in accordance with the validation procedures agreed by Academic Board, and will be recorded in the Programme Validation Document (Programme Specification) and the Programme Handbook.
Any changes to or variations of regulations normally occur at the start of an academic year. Exceptionally, however, it may be necessary to introduce a change during the year. If this happens students affected by the proposed change will be consulted, and Academic Board will satisfy itself that students will not be disadvantaged by the change.
