Learn How To Dive
Need to learn how to dive? Learning how to dive is a fun and challenging process. Diving is an exciting sport that has grown a lot in popularity. Diving requires much practice and a fearless attitude. To dive, follow these simple steps.
- The first step is to make sure you are a solid swimmer. As elementary as it sounds, being a good swimmer keeps a diver safe after making contact with the water. It's important to learn how to swim from a certified coach or trained professional. A coach will be able to teach technique and build confidence. The best way to find trained professionals is to join a swim club or the local YMCA.
- There are different platforms used for diving. All beginners should start with the basic dive off the side of the pool. Beginners need to learn technique.
- Before you dive, make sure you are supervised. Regardless of how much swimming experience you have, you should never swim or practice diving alone.
- Next, make sure you are in deep water. Diving in shallow water could lead to serious head injuries. Most pools are set up with at least a five to six foot deep end. This is where divers should practice.
- Start your dive by approaching the edge of the pool. You want to place your toes on the edge before you dive.
- Swing both arms back, as well as your core, then spring forward with your arms and legs. You should lift off with your toes and allow the momentum from your core carry you forward as you dive.
- As you approach the water, your arms should extend in front of your body, with your head tucked in. You'll know the dive is correct when your arms hit the water first. Upon contact with the water, you may move your arms back in a swimming motion and allow your momentum to carry you, or you may surface immediately.
Diving is fun. Once the basics are down, a diver may move on to tackle springboard or platform diving. The key to becoming a successful diver is technique and confidence.

We are buying about 8 of these...
I have 2 of thier unmanaged 24 port GB switched and they run quite nicely.
Can anyone recommend a gb switch (that they've used) that will happily handle regular hammering with ~2Gb video files? Assume up to 48GB being transferred within a 50 minute period. Files will be transferred simultaneously (12x2Gb at start and end of lesson).
It's for media depts prospective imacs.
We are buying about 8 of these...
I have 2 of thier unmanaged 24 port GB switched and they run quite nicely.
Is that your comment on the Misco page* for that switch? (Revoo http://www.revieworld.com/affiliate/...&sku=undefined ) If so, how noisy is "a bit"? Is it "Could comfortably work with this in a cabinet on the wall behind me" noisy or louder?
Not my comment, but they are very affordable and have quite a few management features without breaking the bank.
We've just bought one of these (Procurve 2848) along with some 2650s and 2626s. They're not set up yet though so I don't know for sure how good it is. Its a big bugger though!
Cost about £1600 + VAT
I have a Procurve 2824 which has 24 copper gigabit ports (four have mini-gbic slots shared with them). It isn't as deep as a 2650 IIRC but it aint silent (2 fans I think).
I think it was about a grand.
With this amount traffic would it be better to setup multicast on the switches to make it less bandwidth hungry and efficient traffic processing.
Forgot to mention, you can also use port trunking (on the HPs) or other port aggregation so that you effectively get 2, 3, 4 or more gigabits on your link... could maybe help.
Perhaps I should have mentioned, they'll be only blatting files across this switch - the imacs and fileserver will be confined to filesharing on an independent network for (obvious) bandwidth reasons..
Thanks for the recommendations - though it would appear other peoples shiny! hardware budgets are bigger than mine.
The netgear GS748-T is the main switch that we use here. They are very reliable but can be a bit on the noisy side as they have 3 fans in them.
I overhauled our network infrastructure last year and got Dell PowerConnect 5324's and a 6024. The list price of the 5324's is 600 but I got them down to around £350, have a talk to Dell and see what they'll give you them for.
I've had no problems with any of the switches, not the quietest, but config is easy to do, it's all CLI based on IOS commands (or web for even easier config).

Lost Epilogue to Be Included on DVD Box Setby Matt Richenthal at . Comments
Lost may be over, but the debate regarding its series finale isn't the only thing that lives on.
When the DVD box set Lost: The Complete Collection hits stores on August 24, viewers will have a chance to watch an epilogue of sorts. The extended footage will focus on Hurley and Ben's reign as island protectors.
"It's a lot." said Michael Emerson. "It's 12 or 14 minutes that opens a window onto that gap of unknown time between Hurley becoming number one and the end of the series. It's self-contained, although it's a rich period in the show's mythology that's never been explored, so who knows what will come of it."
Based on the final exchange between Hurley and Ben, we know these two got along pretty well in their important island roles. But what, exactly, did those entail?
The DVD set is meant to provide that answer.
Matt Richenthal is the Editor in Chief of TV Fanatic. Follow him on Twitter and on Google+.Tags: Lost
They said a lot of things will be answered on the DVD of the Sixth Season because of the time they need to put that... They cut the 3 hours Series Finale in order to have 30 minutes more in the Sunday's episode... This extra is going to be so awsome! Can`t wait for this and for the Walt thing :D

Do You…
Weigh yourself multiple times a day?
Skip at least one meal a day?
Count calories and fat grams every time you eat?
Exercise "a lot" because you have to and not because you want to?
Eating disorders, such as anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating disorder are characterized by extreme emotions, attitudes, and behaviors surrounding weight and food. Eating disorders involve serious emotional and physical problems that can have life-threatening consequences for all genders.
ANOREXIA is characterized by self-starvation and excessive weight loss.
Symptoms include:
BULIMIA is characterized by a cycle of binge eating followed by purging. Bulimia includes eating large amounts of food in a short period of time (more than most people would eat in one meal), then getting rid of the food and calories through vomiting, laxative use, over-exercising, or other means.
Symptoms include:
People who have bulimia often do not appear underweight, but they do often exhibit other signs of an eating disorder. Recovery for bulimia is often most effective the earlier a person seeks treatment…so it is important that everyone is aware of the warning signs.
Warning Signs:
Potential Health Consequences:
BINGE EATING DISORDER is characterized by periods of uncontrolled, impulsive or continuous eating beyond the point of feeling comfortably full. While there is no purging, there may be sporadic fasts or repetitive diets and often feelings of shame or self-hatred.
Potential Health Consequences:
OTHER EATING DISORDERS can include some combination of the signs and symptoms of anorexia, bulimia and/or binge eating. These behaviors are harmful and negatively impact daily life.
Disordered Eating
Disordered eating describes irregular patterns of eating and it occurs when an individual has an unhealthy relationship with food. These eating habits may eventually result in psychological and/or physical harm, yet do not meet the criteria of an eating disorder.
Examples of Disordered Eating:
Getting Help
All eating disorders require professional help. If you would like to speak to a counselor about your situation or need a referral for treatment, please contact the USI Counseling Center at 812-464-1867.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

This summer the roof of the Metropolitan Museum of Art sprouted an incredible bamboo jungle as artists Doug and Mike Starn erected their "Big Bambú: You Can't, You Don't and You Won't Stop" installation. We last reported on the installation back in April, and we recently had a chance to take some exclusive photographs to show the remarkable transformation that this piece has undergone thus far. The artists and a team of savvy rock climbers have built upon existing architectural element to create an original piece that fuses performance art, architecture and sculpture. The installation, which will run until the 31st of October, is mid-way materialized, and its final form will feature a cresting wave that reaches 50 feet above the rooftop.
The construction of the piece creates a habitat that is unique and detached from its urban surroundings. Its organic interface strikes a bold contrast against the backdrop of the New York skyline, as does its curvilinear composition. The base of the structure forms a forest of bamboo with a narrow path through which visitors can walk. Ultimately, the sculpture will be 50 feet high and will span the entire length of the roof, with a web of elevated interweaving paths offering viewers a chance to explore the intricacies of the structure themselves.
Amusingly, Big Bambú's striking organic form has attracted much attention from local wildlife, with hawks and other birds setting up roost in the installation. Unfortunately, due to the temporal nature of this exhibit, the museum has had to take cautious measures to keep these birds from creating a habitat that will eventually have to be disrupted in October when Big Bambú is dismantled.

(CNN) -- India's president expressed her condolences Sunday for those killed by a devastating cyclone that has forced thousands to seek refuge in emergency shelters.
The death toll along India's southeastern coastline stood at 27 as of Sunday, according to officials. This was two days after Cyclone Thane brought heavy rains and winds gusting at almost 90 miles per hour at its peak to the area.
Pratibha Devisingh Patil reached out to some of those affected by the storm in the states of Tamil Nadu and Puducherry, according to a statement posted on her website.
"The president has conveyed her condolences to the members of bereaved families and wished speedy recovery to the injured persons," her office said.
The Tamil Nadu district of Cuddalore, south of the city of Chennai, was hit particularly hard. The storm uprooted trees, ripped off traffic signals from their posts and sent shards of glass and other debris whizzing through the air.
Amuthavalli, the district's top official who goes by a single name, told CNN that some people lost their lives when walls collapsed or downed power lines caused electrocution.
Some 7,000 people are staying in emergency shelters set up in school buildings, community halls and 20 cyclone centers in the Cuddalore area, she said.
One of those killed was a French national, the French Foreign Ministry said Saturday.

At first, Julie was concerned that Hamm was being "Franco-ized" — i.e. insisting on trying to be amazing at everything – but Hamm's skills are pretty terrible, so it's adorable instead. His New York accent is impressive though! [via Crushable]

We stayed one night - booking two rooms. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Facilities were well kept and among the best we have seen in that area. Very pretty grounds with a nice pool. All structures have a very pretty painted exterior. In all, it was an excellent and relaxing stay! We would go back. Price at $48US was reasonable for the accommodations.

CHATEAU MONTELENA 2010 CABERNET SAUVIGNON "MONTELENA ESTATE" NAPA VALLEY 750mLANTONIO GALLONI 94 POINTS - "The 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is immediate, juicy and expressive in this vintage. At the same time, it seems pretty clear that the 2010 needs at least a few more years in bottle. Today, it is a bit disjointed as it is neither primary, nor showing too many tertiary notes or complexity. Sweet tobacco, leather, licorice, menthol and spices emerge over time, but the 2010 is a wine built for the cellar. There is plenty of density, but it needs time to emerge."
ROBERT PARKER 91 POINTS - "Chateau Monteleas flagship wine, the 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon Montelena Estate possesses a dense ruby/purple color as well as beautiful black currant and blueberry fruit, soft tannins, medium to full body, and a harmonious, supple mouthfeel. This classic, old style California Cabernet has been tweaked somewhat as evidenced by its sweeter tannins and more upfront fruit. Enjoy it over the next 15+ years."

This place is a joke, I have blue cross blue shield of Kansas so of course I have to pay a co pay of 45 dollars. Then during the appointment I was told to do a biopsy on my thyroid due to a cyst. I was worried about the cost because I knew a specialist was 10% last year and hadn't had time to check for the new year. They told me that it had stayed the same. I'm getting ready for the biopsy and a women comes in from billing telling me I had to pay 156.82 up front to even preform the biopsy, that it was now 20%. I couldn't believe they couldn't even do a billing plan. I told them it was hard enough to get the money for the appointment let alone that much. As were a five person family on one income. Then I managed to get them to wait for payment for three days which they had took my bank card info so they could instantly bill me right out of my bank. Then I get told to set up another appointment for next week to do it again, that the cyst will more likely fill back up and he would only remove it if it keeps filling up three to four times. I'm living off one income with three kids I can't afford 200 dollars a week, plus the cost of labs. Then to add icing to the cake, I called with pain after the biopsy thinking they would at least prescribe me something just to tell me to use over the counter pain meds. I call again after the cyst has swelled up again, and started asking the nurse questions thinking maybe surgery would be best and all she could do was talk like she would agree with what ever I asked, which she seem to not know anything. Beware of this place they lie and only care about making the most money out of you and the nurses have no education at all! Also there financial help is for only people with no insurance.
My overall experience working with Dr. Reussner was a positive one. He was patient and provided clear and detailed answers to my questions. My parathyroidectomy went well with no complications and a speedy recovery. The scarring at the incision site at the base of my throat is barely visible 15 mos. after the surgery.I would recommend him to my family and friends requiring this type of care.
I discovered Dr. Reussner via a Google search, and found the three-plus hour drive to the Kansas Voice clinic from Lincoln, NE, to be well worth my time. The office staff was friendly and welcoming, from the front office staff to the nursing staff. Jennifer Cannady, Speech Pathologist, performed the vocal cord testing and was professional and caring. Dr. Reussner was very approachable and took time to listen to the history of my vocal issues. He, too, was very professional and provided excellent insights as well as potential solutions for my vocal problems. I would highly recommend Dr. Reussner, Jennifer and the Kansas Voice Center to anyone seeking help for vocal problems of any kind.

re: Olivia Munn Has An Angry Vagina? (88 comments)
Not just her fanny, even her perky little boobs are angry. 3 days ago she was pictured by beachgoers doing a tanning session at west coast beach all topless and with a thong thats barely visible. I guess she was just reminding us her boobs are way curvier than the wanna be slutt lindsay.
re: Taylor Momsen Doesn't Need Your Lame Charity (28 comments)
She acts like she owns the freakin world, some wannabe rockstar she is. Just the other day she was snapped walking down the street wearing a seethrough tanktop and a skin tight miniskirt, a true mediawhore in the making. See it for yourself.
re: Karissa Shannon: 'There's a Sex Tape.' Heidi Montag: 'No, There Isn't.' (47 comments)
This is just great, a moral disaster is on the loose again. Some loser has already posted the preview online of the sextape which was given to vivid for 'testing' purposes. Heidi looks like a two cent whore compared to kim in her sextape.

Hi, I want to use macro algae, probably Chaeto, for a reef aquarium filter. I recently discovered what was called action spectra. From what I gather, it is what a particular plant utilizes, in terms of light spectrum. To minimize energy usage and eliminate a lot of guessing, it seems that matching the action spectra of Chaeto to the spectral power curve (is that what it's called?) of a light bulb is the way to go. Or, am I missing something?
Anyone know where the action spectra for Chaeto can be found?

Steve Berry's new international adventure blends gripping contemporary political intrigue, Tudor treachery, and high-octane thrills into one riveting novel of suspense. Cotton Malone and his fifteen-year-old son, Gary, are headed to Europe. As a favor to his former boss at the Justice Department, Malone agrees to escort a teenage fugitive back to England. But after he is greeted at gunpoint in London, both the fugitive and Gary disappear, and Malone learns that he's stumbled into a high-stakes diplomatic showdown—an international incident fueled by geopolitical gamesmanship and shocking Tudor secrets. At its heart is the Libyan terrorist convicted of bombing Pan Am Flight 103, who is set to be released by Scottish authorities for "humanitarian reasons." An outraged American government objects, but nothing can persuade the British to intervene. Except, perhaps, Operation King's Deception. Run by the CIA, the operation aims to solve a centuries-old mystery, one that could rock Great Britain to its royal foundations. Blake Antrim, the CIA operative in charge of King's Deception, is hunting for the spark that could rekindle a most dangerous fire, the one thing that every Irish national has sought for generations: a legal reason why the English must leave Northern Ireland. The answer is a long-buried secret that calls into question the legitimacy of the entire forty-five-year reign of Elizabeth I, the last Tudor monarch, who completed the conquest of Ireland and seized much of its land. But Antrim also has a more personal agenda, a twisted game of revenge in which Gary is a pawn. With assassins, traitors, spies, and dangerous disciples of a secret society closing in, Malone is caught in a lethal bind. To save Gary he must play one treacherous player against another—and only by uncovering the incredible truth can he hope to prevent the shattering consequences of the King's Deception.Don't miss Steve Berry's novella The Tudor Plot and a sneak peek of his new novel, The Lincoln Myth, in the back of the book.Praise for The King's Deception "A Dan Brown-ian secular conspiracy about the Virgin Queen driving nonstop international intrigue."—Kirkus Reviews Praise for Steve Berry "Berry raises this genre's stakes."—The New York Times "I love this guy."—No. 1 internationally bestselling author Lee Child "Forget Clancy and Cussler.

Fokker D-VII Modeled after Ernst Udet's "Candy-Stripper"
(see photos below)
Here's additional information for the impressive Fokker D-VII that was featured in the October 2009 Pilot Project section.
Joseph Bukovchik built this Balsa USA ¼ scale Fokker D-VII over one and a half years. It is powered with a Fuji 34 cc, 4 stroke, ignition engine with a wet sump. It weighs 21 pounds but is yet to be balanced. Guidance is provided a Futaba FAAST 6 channel 2.4 radio.
He painted the two different lozenge colorings on Solartex by making 5 color stencils. This is a most colorful airplane. The bright bottom lozenge pattern appears on the Fokker D-VII at the USAF Museum in Dayton, Ohio. It actually is this colorful in the bright sun! Mine was painted mostly with Jerry Nelson water-based polyurethane paint and acrylics.
He used copies of factory blueprints supplied by the San Diego Aero Space Museum to detail this plane. It has a full cockpit including a floor compass, a workable fuel pressure pump, working magneto switch and cocking mechanisms on the Spandaus. The guns are fabricated mostly from aluminum as are the anti-flash tracks that keep the muzzle flash from burning the top end of the Mercedes 160 hp engine. The pull-pull wires are threaded under the cockpit floor and exit through leather patches. The leather cockpit combing is sewn onto the fuselage. One of the gold-plated bezels is from an antique watch.
He had made a laser cut scale data plate on the lower right side of the cowl; the aileron wires are hidden inside the cabane struts. There are numerous access doors on the fuselage, and there are two gas caps because the plane's gas tank has two filler pipes. The oil vent on top of the radiator is scaled from the blueprints.
The color scheme as provided by the San Diego Aero Space Museum shows white rubber tires. I used Williams Brothers white rubber wheels.
The blueprints show that the word Gesammt Gewicht was misspelled at the Dutch factory where it was built. They didn't know enough German and there should only be one 'm' in Gesamt. My German son-in-law observed this mistake. I continued the error of the factory blueprints.
The data plate was laser cut by Blue World Industries @ www.blueworldindustries.com Chris Hazelton, the owner, can cut signs or instrument faces we use for our planes. Signs can be laser cut in metal or plastic that looks like metal. I obtained a photo of the data plate from an internet web site on the Fokker and Chris cut it from this photo very easily!
The rib stitches were applied, one at a time. Instead of sewing, each was applied by cutting an almost ¼" long thread, dipping it slightly in white glue with tweezers, and laying it on top of the wing rib. Since the original wing tapes had straight edges, it was easy to cut white Solartex 3/8" wide, and seal these tapes over the threads onto the covering. Thus, there was no need to paint the rib tapes.
The white rib tapes were not applied to the sub-wing because it was originally covered with plywood. A Fokker D-VII appears on the March 2006 cover of Model Aviation which inaccurately shows wing tapes on the sub-wing.
The tail skid is functional and is spring loaded with rubber bands. An access hatch under the skid allows the bands to be replaced as necessary. The spruce skid has a 1/8" spring steel wire around the area where it contacts the ground.
The ammo feed boxes were made from extra aluminum which came with the kit. These boxes were CA'd together and look like they were welded. The cockpit mounting step was made with 1/8" o.d. aluminum tubing. Toothpicks were inserted into them to provide a wood-to wood connection and they were CA'd together.
A craft store supplied the appropriate size decals, both the 'rub-on' and the 'vinyl stick-on' kinds. Thus, on the rear cabane struts and stabilizer supports, these small decals were applied. Some letters like the 'k' had to be cut to approximate the original lettering. The factory blueprints show the original lettering. They are a bit different than modern letters.
Arizona Model Aircrafters provided a cockpit kit and an engine kit for the Mercedes 160 hp. The exhaust manifold has some red iron oxide powder mixed with clear acrylic applied to approximate rust. When I was in Colorado, I found a red iron oxide stone in a stream. When I rubbed it, the water became red. Now I file a bit of the stone into powder and use it as pigment.
On the right side of the fuselage just behind the aluminum cowl siding is an access hatch for the radio, battery, etc. It is triangular and is attached with only one screw. One of the sides of the hatch has an interior lip which fits under a cross fuselage member.
The way the Fokker Company separated the cockpit area from the back of the plane was by sewing a large piece of lozenge wing covering material to the fuselage members directly behind the pilot. It goes from the top of the interior fuselage to the bottom and from one side to the next. Thus, I sewed a piece there too.
The internet has a site which features the restoration of a Fokker D-VII. The photos are invaluable. One site is: memorial.flight.free.fr There are many others and the serious scale modeler must view them for ideas.

Depends on the golfer, some do and some don't. I think majority of golfers don't lift the front heel off the ground.
To me the issue is that most amateurs will lift the heel because they made an improper turn.
Jack on the left at address. I drew a line to reference how centered he turns. On the right is the top of his swing, before he starts his transition by planting that heel back down. Notice how his left hip doesn't shift to the right. Notice how steady his head stays.
You can lift that heel as long as it isn't because you are moving to much laterally to the back leg, and as long as your head does not move too much.
Keep a steady head and keep a centered turn (pivot) and the front heel doesn't matter as much. Though it makes it easier to keep a centered turn with the front heel on the ground, in my opinion.

I just recently picked up golf. I am a competitive runner, but I've always wanted to learn the sport. Anyway, I've tried both ways with my lead foot (left) on the backswing. I pick up my heel sometimes, and at other times, I try to leave it planted. What are your thoughts on this? I feel that my heel comes up when I'm trying to swing too hard.
Welcome to the site. You've gotten some good advice so far. As long as you're basically doing this (video) what the left heel is doing isn't that important.
