My inner whiner wants them to change the look of the Charger slightly if you just bought it, just so getting it the classic way has something Unique about it. But honestly, if just buying one was avavlible for me when I was leveling I would have grabbed it with both hands and large smile.

Oct 21st 2008 7:01PM The cost items in the Charger quest is already around 600g, varies a little from server to server.
This makes getting a Charger a solo activity now, waiting until level 61 isn't much of a wait. It's bitter sweet that the quest line is being bypassed but I understand why. It's a chain that means visiting three instances and allot of back and forth to SW. 4 people have to take 2 to 3 hours out of there time just for you.
Blizzard tells Oceanic realms they're fixing it {WoW}
Apr 14th 2008 7:09PM If we do get local severs has anyone got a answer about what happens to people with Toons on Oceanic and US servers?
Blizzard tells Oceanic realms they're fixing it {WoW}
Apr 14th 2008 2:48AM Because Oceanics are only 9 servers atm. And lumping their maintance in with 200 other US ones is always going to be cheeper than any idea we can throw at Blizzard.
Taking a look at www.warcraftrealms.com it says our daily average (not peek) player base is around: 23,000. But their are more of us than that. When you first install your game your defaut Sever will most likley be a US one. I fell into this trap and have a 70 on Duskwood. I've met other Australians on there from time to time, plus ALL Oceanic Zone PRers players on US Realms.
Anyway my point is, although local servers will solve allot of our problems, it will cause a few painful divorces as well.
Blizzard tells Oceanic realms they're fixing it {WoW}
Apr 13th 2008 8:35PM Adam. I did not say you should be less level headed? Where did I say that?
The Forums do not, and never will, reflect the majority of players and complainers will always rise to top of any discussion. If this happened to the US we'd still have the same hysteria but magnified by a factor of 20.
And this article isn't about WoW Insider reporting ongoing faults with Ocenaics (which would have been nice), this is an article about a blue post slapping some Oceanic players down for being whiners you adding "too true".
If we hadn't had that controversy would the problems on Oceanics been covered of WoW Insider?
Blizzard tells Oceanic realms they're fixing it {WoW}
Apr 13th 2008 7:58PM It's easy to be mature about such things when they don't effect you directly. I think if all the US servers were is strife WoW Insider would be sounding allot less philosophical about it. In fact I've no doubt we'd be getting news flash updates on the topic.
The Oceanics are over still populated despite the two new servers this year, we don't get to play Tuesdays, we have latency and we don't have RP. Add on a protracted mantance problems and I can understand why some players are feeling like Oceanic's are the red headed step child servers.
All hail Thrall: Supreme Leader of Azeroth {WoW}
Apr 2nd 2008 9:33AM Sadly all won't be hailing Thrall, and never will. You see, Azeroth isn't like a Western Democracy where what party you support is a largely a matter of ideology. It's a racial and regional divide.
The Alliance faction, for want of a better word, are going to take one look at Thrall's Horde centric administration and take their bat and ball home. What is in it for the Alliance to support an executive which actively will marginalize them?
We've seen it in Northern Ireland and also in Iraq. Two factions that are antagonistic can't be unified with a conventional 'Most votes' democracy, power needs to be shared or the violence will just continue.
Thrall is going to have to share power on some level with Proudmore and her allies or sectarian Militias are going to start fighting for the independence of their own provinces.
L2 build viable democracies.

Not sure if this is the correct forum but please help or direct me to where I should be. My DH and I are currently doing a 800 sq ft addition to our home. As part of the addition, our town mandates that we submit a stormwater management plan for any addition over 500 sq ft. We knew not much about it (or the ramifications) and hired an engineer to do testing and come up with a plan. We assumed he would design some drywells (like most of our neighbors have) and that would be the end of it After doing perc testing in December (!!!), he told us that we had no perc so were not eligible for drywells. Instead, he came up with a $50,000 plan that included storing all this water in a pipe under my driveway and slowly have it drain into the village system. We don't have water problems in our home and never have and are all of a sudden responsive for retrofitting the property for 50k!!! There has got to be another way. Has anyone come up with some sort of affordable stormwater management system on a property that purported has no perc? If I do a perc teste in August will I come up with better numbers? Much love! |

I'm only answering because nobody has, and probably because most have not encountered your problem. It might help if we knew more about where you are, like state or county or something. If this was me, I'd be down at the town hall, making friends, and begging for answers. See if you can find out what others did in your situation. I would also google this question you have stated many ways. So sorry I can't be of more help. Suzi |
Thank you for responding. We are located in Westchester county in New York. Any general answers about land with no perc would be helpful. Soil conditioner? |
- Posted by desertdance (My Page) on Mon, Jul 8, 13 at 11:14
Sometimes more than two answers make people think about responding here. You got my curiosity up for sure:-)) I googled "Land with no perc," and found an interesting article that you probably already read. I never even heard the word "perc," but now I know! Thanks for the good education. It amazes me that your neighbors all have dry wells, but you can't. Something seems wrong. Building codes change, and people who already have a solution just get grandfathered in. We are on septic, so I'm aware of that, but our land is decomposed granite with zero clay, so it percs! Here is the article I found. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Soil and Perc Testing
I've actually been reading a lot about applying a soil conditioner. I think I may try that to improve my soil. Know anything about it? |
I would start by identifying which watershed area of Westchester County you are in, and then research the details of that particular watershed area's requirements for stormwater management plan. Search online, there's likely information out there. I know little about Westchester county personally (I'm in NJ), but I know that runoff from your area can effect a number of important bodies of water, so I assume the requirements in your area are more stringent than most. Guessing it's some aggressive approach to reducing the outflow to sewers which ultimately end in these bodies of water. You said you failed the perc test, but was it a drastic failure, or did you nearly pass? I know squat about perc tests, but can it be retested, when there hasn't been much recent rainfall? Can you try different areas for the holes? Probably questions for your engineer. Any of your neighbors that are using drywells install them recently? Speak to any of them? Did they use an engineer, if so who? How did you find your engineer? Is he local, and knowledgible about your specific area etc? My point is, I would be inclined to NOT accept his $50k solution without a heck of a lot of my own research if I were you. It could be accurate, but on the surface sounds kind of crazy. I would call local code officials, etc, and just start asking questions until I got to the right person(s), then probe with them. Good luck, it sounds like a really annoying issue to deal with. As if it's not annoying enough dealing with an addition by itself. |

So I'm very new at this but I've ordered some keg stuff that should be here next week or the week after. I wanted to get a start on something in the primary so on my last trip to the city I hunted down a HBS. I selected a Muntons Premium Lager kit pretty much at random and I was told that I needed a bag of dextrose to make the kit. Now, I've been hanging out around here and reading, reading and still more reading so I now know that dextrose is a cheap way to get higher alcohol at the expense of quality and flavour. That's not what I'm getting into this for. Turns out I have to go to the city again on Monday so I can go back to the store and get more supplies to do a better job. This is a hopped extract so I was just planning on getting some dry extract to take the place of the sugar. I know there were a few packages of hops around the store and I saw bags of DME, but it seemed pretty sparsly populated with products. That being said, I really wasn't looking with a practised eye. I would like to solicit suggestions from you EACs and any one that has been in this situation before. Things such as how much DME and what kind to use, whether or not I should add extra hops and what kind, etc. I wouldn't normally ask for such simple information but I don't get to the city very often so I need to get my supplies on Monday or I have to use the dextrose. ick. I've been reading at www.howtobrew.com but I'm not confident enough or knowledgable enough to modify the basic ingredients. I'm not concerned at all with the manufacturing process, it's just the ingredients. Everything else I can look up between now and when I brew. So if anyone can tell me what I should be looking for on my trip I would be grateful. BTW, I'll probably brew an ale of some kind next. I only just found out about the issues of brewing a lager!
The dextrose is more than likely for priming during bottling. You can also prime with DME, but that's more expensive and really doesn't help or hurt the flavor profile of your beer. Since it sounds like you'll be kegging, you can simply skip priming altogether and force carbonate. A word of caution for your lager - it should be fermented at a rather cool temperature (probably around 45-55 degrees, depending on the yeast). If you ferment it at a higher temperature, the flavor may not be what you expect due to the formation of esters and fusel alcohols. Also, a lager should be aged in a cool place for at least a month before drinking. A search for "diacetyl rest" in this forum or in "How to Brew" may also prove to be worthwhile reading before you make your first lager.
Honestly--if you go to northernbrewer.com or williamsbrewing.com, you can get a kit for just about any style that gives you absolutely everything you need--no mucking around with picking up dextrose or anything. Northern Brewer is a bit cheaper and has more kits, but Williams has great support. Other than that, I'd say go hog wild, whatever you buy I'm sure you can work into great beer.
Nothing until I figure out if I can make it happen over in the UK.
The recipe calls for a kg of dextrose right at the beginning to aid fermentation. The jar only has 1.5kg of product in it so it needs some help from the dextrose. I know that the lager needs to be conditioned at a low temperature. Hell froze over last week so I don't think that's going to be a problem. So I went to the city and found yet another brew shop and dropped a bunch more money. I bought: 1.36kg high maltose syrup (to substitute for the dextrose) 1.25kg light liquid malt extract 2kg Munton's hopped light Spraymalt (in 500g bags) 25g Fuggle hops pellets 25g Saaz hops pellets 25g Hallertau hops pellets 6g Morgan's lager yeast 6g Morgan's Ale yeast I still don't have the slightest idea what I'm doing but as long as I don't admit it to SWMBO she'll think I do. The only drawback is that I can't admit that I made a batch of weasel piss so if that happens I'll have to make yummy noises and choke it down. She doesn't drink beer so as long as I don't yak on her shoes I should be able to pull it off. The plan is to use the original kit without the yeast or the dextrose and add the maltose syrup in place of the dextrose and use the Morgan's lager yeast in place of the unlabled yeast in the kit. The malt is hopped so I can only assume that it has enough for the entire batch. I don't know anything at all about hops so I hope I can learn a bit this week before I make the kit. I think there are enough other ingredients for a second batch. The DME is hopped so that kind of throws a wrench in the whole thing. I think I'll skip the hops at 60 minutes boil and just use some at 30 and 0 minutes. Of course, in the interest of staying true to the "I still don't have the slightest idea what I'm doing" concept, this is pretty much random. Cry havoc! And let loose the dogs of beer....

Evelio Mattos is the Creative Director of Design Packaging Inc., and the designer is self-admittedly obsessed with paper folding. "If the concept allows me to organically incorporate folded paper into a concept, I will," he writes.
Unfortunately, most of the time those concepts work their way out of the final piece due to pricing constraints or material limitations in the mass production environment. But, not this time. Built completely out of folding board, the squeeze box concept developed for Auberge du Soleil Napa Valley is 100% recyclable. The hand-made truffles are well protected by the internal divider which moves with the box and allows for optimal product display.
My first thought was, it seems cool from an experiential perspective--you press the "accordion" down and the truffles basically present--but wasteful from a materials perspective due to all of the extra paper folds. But as Mattos points out the stuff is 100% recycleable, so we can get behind it with a clear conscience.

This went on beautifully and felt as if it was doing wonderful things to my tired, jaded and dry skin.
I have used various masks when I need to have a fresher skin maybe going out in the evening after a long day. This cream mask is thick and pleasant to use and also does not irritate my sensitive skin. I would definitely recommend it and think it is good value for money . Leaves skin looking softer and fresher.
I have been using this product for a couple of years now and think it is great. I use it once per week after exfoliating and the 50 ml lasts me about 4 - 5 months. You do not need to lather it on in large amounts to make a difference. The smell and feel of the mask when on feels like you are really treating yourself to an expensive salon facial and the results are great too.
Fabulous product - creamy, calming and refreshing - definitely recommended :)

RN told she will now get LPN wages - page 3

2Sep 23, '10 by tothepointeLVNI remember that thread. Can't remember if I posted on it or what my opinion at the time was. Naturally opinions change as situations change.
However for both LVN's and RN's in not good practice for Rn's to be forced to take LVN wages. Not only does it dilute the value of an RN but it does the same for a LVN. If they can pay an RN LVN's wages well Lvn's wont seem much of a bargain and LVn's wages will go down

1Sep 26, '10 by KyasiMost states require that an RN be in management positions in Home Health Agencies. So an LPN as a nursing supervisor isn't even an option.
I think most people here are talking about field staff positions. I for one would be angry to find out that I was making less than LPN's working the same private duty case. In our state, although the work load is the same, there are still some things that an LPN can't do, that a RN can. I respect the fact that LPN's are quite able and proficient at what they do but that doesn't take away from the fact that RN's went to school longer and have had more education. I'm sorry if that ticks off some LPN'slArwenEvenstar likes this. -
2Sep 27, '10 by KyasiAnd the main point here is that the agency does get more Medicaid reimbursement for an RN than an LPN so they are choosing to keep that for themselves. That is dirty business!

3Oct 5, '10 by fkpecinaAs an Lvn I would never expect to get paid more than an RN. I mean, RNs do have more education than and LVN. More education should equal more pay.
My brother in law just recently moved to Arkansas and finished his CNA school. But because he is bilinigual, they are paying him more. He called the other day and told me they were offering him 20/hr!!!!! HEEEELLLLOOO!! I worked so hard for my LVN and my BIL is working as a C.N.A and getting paid more than I am?? I was really upset. Not at him, at the situation. I'm very happy for him, but disappointed in my pay. I was tempted to relocate to arkansas myself!!! Heck, if he's getting paid that as a cna, what would my pay be as a bilingual LVN??
So i understand the frustration from the RN's. -
1Oct 11, '10 by Blackcat99Update: The RN was suppose to be leaving this job at the end of October. Mom told me today that the RN has decided to not leave after all. Mom said that the RN has now agreed to stay and that she will accept the LPN wages. Unbelievable!!!!systoly likes this.
2Oct 13, '10 by caliotter3Very believable. The RN decided that the possibility of not being employed outweighed the insult to her self respect.nursel56 and Blackcat99 like this.
1Oct 20, '10 by Luv2care0907Blackcat directed my attention to this thread. I thought I would share my story, but also, I am specifically looking to how to resolve this issue. I want to make the money that I deserve. I have worked hard regaining my license . . . again. In May of 2009, I retook the NCLEX. After much money was invested, I passed with flying colors. I was ecstatic. I immediately went out to apply for a job to recoup the money I had just invested and to start making money for my family. Like many others here in South Florida, I found that the hospitals refused to hire me. You talk about discouraging. Even some of the hospitals here that promised me a job if I ever wanted to come back had become impersonal due to these companies that are hired to filter through the applications. I have so many glowing recommendations and references as well including people on their board of directors. I have a whistle clean record.
After a year of pursuing a hospital job and getting turned down over and over, guess what door was opened to me? Home health. At first, I was going to do trach patients. But my forte is babies. So I easily fell into a few cases with those and I have thrived working those clients. I love my job! I love these children and it is encouraging to see them recover so well.
So naturally, you would think that the agency, seeing how well I am doing, would give me a raise. (not) Within a few months, I got a notification from the agency telling me that Medicaid no longer pays for an RN unless the client has a trach, a GT, or other criteria and that I would have to take a pay cut to LPN status. I love my job. I am good at it. I guess somewhere out there, there is an LPN that can handle a preemie with an O2 NC on various meds weighing 5 pounds and do her job as well as I can. I would like to meet this person if they exist. I have a friend whose son ended up with a hypoxic episode during his home care. These children are not as easy as they look. On several occasions, I have had to act to prevent them from aspiration etc.
Anywho, I took the pay cut. I had no other choice. I would have loved to have said, "Take your job. I can make more money over here." But you see, there was nothing like that for me. I am making WAY less than $20/hour right now.
Even as we speak, I can see on one of the hospital web sites that there is a job opening for the nursery at this hospital that holds a monopoly in our area. If I submit an application, I am sure to get a computer letter stating that there are other candidates more qualified. How do you fight something like this? I know I am more qualified than anybody they could possibly have but how do I get them to see that? Do you take someone from the EEOC to the hospital to make them reconsider? Then what? I feel like I would be cutting off my nose to spite my face in that case. How hard would it be for them to find something to fire me over at the end of the day? I want them to welcome me with open arms not feel pressured to hire me. . . or I want the agency I work for to pay me for the work I do. My other question is that after a year of working with the HHA, will the hospital reconsider hiring me?
If Medicaid is truly paying $35/hour for my services, is it possible to force the agency to compensate me for the work I do? Are they really getting LPN wages for my time? I think one thing to consider is the fact that each case has a case manager that does the paperwork. So that may be where the agency is having to direct some of this money or are they compensated for that as well? Plus, like you said there is office staff, equipment, office rental and many other expenses to running a business. I am sure some of that money goes toward that. Still, I would like to make the kind of money an RN is supposed to make. From what I can see on this board, there are plenty of RNs in home health that are making that kind of money. I am all ears.Blackcat99 likes this. -
0Oct 22, '10 by caliotter3I have almost 20 years experience in nursing and my employers think that is good reason to pay me $5 less an hour than I was previously getting, while maintaining employees at $1 an hour more than me that they hired right out of school. I am actively looking elsewhere for employment. I am certain the present employer won't notice I am gone because they don't notice me enough to keep me working at even the low rate.
0Oct 22, '10 by Blackcat99Caliotter3- I am sorry to hear that your employer is treating you so badly. It's bad enough that they give you a low pay rate but they don't even give you enough hours either. I hope you will find a better job soon.
1Nov 13, '10 by systolyQuote from KyasiYour numbers are spot on for my area.Below I've copied and pasted a post I made on Medicaid reimbursement a while back. While no company can afford to pay the entire reimbursement they get because there of office overhead, state mandated supervisory and reassessment visits, Start of Cares etc., you can see that there is still plenty to cover that without cutting the employee wages. My agency would never ask a RN to accept LPN wages or a LPN to accept HHA wages. I'd find another agency to work for! Sometimes these things are a sign that it's time for a change. Don't short change yourself!
I would say the biggest money maker for a Medicaid agency is Prior Authorizations where the per hour reimbursement is $18.34/hr for a HHA, $25.01/hr for a LPN, and $37.36/hr for a RN. I'm sure this varies from state to state. The biggest reimbursement is the 'overhead' where they pay $34.30/day of service. So if the agency is paying roughly $9.50 - $10.00/hr for a HHA, $17.00 - $18.00/hr for a LPN, and $22.00 - $23.00/hr for a RN, you can see the profit.
So an example would be: let's say we provide a HHA 10h/day, 7 days per week. Reimbursement will be is $1,283.80 + overhead $240.10 = $1,523.90/week. If the average HHA pay is 9.75/hr, the pay out is $614.50/week. Toss in there minimal benefits and a very small travel reimbursement and you can see in a years time that there is a big profit. But then you do have to take into account the nursing staff who does the paperwork to obtain this funding and who do the needed start of care and follow-up visits with the clients. That's what the overhead pays for. But obviously, there is profit or the company would fold.Blackcat99 likes this.

Even though actress Bhairavi Raichura, fondly remembered as Kajal Bhai from "Hum Paanch", has turned producer with the new show " Chhal Sheh Aur Maat" on Colors, she says that she has no plans to quit acting.
"I wanted to get into production for some time, and then what next after acting? Production is a completely different experience. When you're just acting, you go on the sets, do your makeup, read the script, do the scene, go home and you're done. Production, it never ends. There are 50,000 things to do. You're handling so many people. I handle the production side, and the creative side is handled by my partner. I am enjoying it," she tells us.
But doesn't being a producer take away from her acting time? "I don't shoot much. I shoot 7-8 days in a month. I haven't given " Sasural Genda Phool" many dates. I'm not taking up anything new at the moment. "Balika Vadhu" is not really there, I hardly do it. I tell them, try avoiding me, but if required, I will come back to that show," she says.
Her new show is a thriller, which she compares to an Abbas-Mustan film. But it's not a film that'll end in 3 hours, and she knows what it takes to sustain the audience's interest in a show. "A daily soap takes a lot of commitment for all the departments. Thinking 22 episodes in a month is not easy. I really salute all daily soap makers. But I'm sure audiences are enjoying our show. It's something new for them, because after "Kahin Kisi Roz", there hasn't been a thriller on television," she signs off.

I am not new to roses but I have never shown one. A friend of mine wants me to enter one at a local fair. I want to know how soon do I pick the rose and how to keep it looking good till it goes to show. Do I need to put it in a cooler to travel to the fair? I have a couple good hybrid teas now that I could pick. The judging is tomorrow. Could I put them in the fridge and keep them looking good till tomorrow? I have heard that an aspirin in the vase will keep them longer. |

Sorry I'm a day late to help. I cut mine 4-5 days before a show. I have a rose cooler I put them in. It's kept at 35-38 degrees. A regular fridge will dry out the bloom unless you cover the bloom in plastic. It's the frost free cycle that will take the moisture out of a bloom. I hope you did good. Which Fair did you go to? I was at the Illinois State Fair wednesday the 19th. I won Grand Champion and Reserve Champion. Moonstone was the Champ and Gemini was the Reserve Champ. |

Deep Purple are coming to a TV screen near you -- if you live in Israel, at least.
While in Tel Aviv to perform a pair of concerts over the weekend the group filmed a guest spot on "Atlantica," a show about a fledgling Jerusalem-based rock band that's managed by a high school history teacher played by Tal Friedman.
In this episode the group stalks Deep Purple, which is one of its favorite bands, and tries to convince the Purple gang to join them on stage.
Frontman Ian Gillan and bassist Roger Glover reportedly have speaking parts for the episode. "Atlantica" is expected to debut later this year and is hoping for pickup outside of the Holy Land.
Deep Purple, meanwhile, is off the road until a June 21 spot on the Hellfest festival in France.

Sherlock Premier Tipped by Flowers in a Hearse
Fans of the BBC series Sherlock have been clamoring to see what happens in the new season of the show, since the last season ended with the tragic demise of Sherlock Holmes. Or did it? Now, the premiere date for the new season of the show was tipped in an interesting way.
A hearse was hired to drive around with a flower arrangement in its glass windows. Those flowers spelled out "SHERLOCK" and the date "01-01-14." Of course, the new season will air on January 1 (at least in the UK). It's also telling that the season premiere is titled "An Empty Hearse."
The hearse also had a hashtag on one window that read #sherlocklives. Actor mark Gatiss also tweeted to fans that they should look out for the vehicle. Gattis wrote, "Should you be around Baker St, Gower St or even Bart's tomorrow morning, look out for a certain vehicle containing special news…#Sherlock."
Fans looking forward to the next Sherlock episode here in the US will have to wait until January 19th, 2013 for its premiere on PBS.

God I hate you. I had almost just gotten around to finishing the last episode. Now the entire time I watch it i'm just going to be waiting for Sherlock to "die". Thanks. I guess it's about time to install one of the spoiler blocking plug-ins because apparently everyone on the internet needs to ruin every TV show for me.
For future reference, if you're going to reveal the ending of a TV Series, Movie, etc in your blog post… Please simply put "SPOILER" at the beginning like a normal human being.
The show has been out for a very long time (even the last season). If you didn't want to see any spoilers, you should have stopped reading at the word "Sherlock" in the title. I'm sorry it was spoiled for you, but honestly, you really don't have an excuse for being spoiled other than yourself.

Habeas Corpus. While Habeas Corpus retains tinges of author Alan Bennet's usual embarrassment and ambivalence, it is a far more robust piece of work, a laugh-out-loud funny -- but still very English -- sex farce. Wicksteed, a doctor whose response to the countless human genitalia he's inspected in his lifetime lies somewhere between indifference and disgust, neglects his wife, Muriel -- whose own repressed sexuality seethes in her bosom -- to chase after a nubile young thing called (of course) Felicity. A flat-chested, frumpy aunt yearns for breasts, while a canon called Throbbing yearns for her. And then there are Felicity's mother and the quintessential colonial wife, Lady Rumpers; Wicksteed's hypochondriacal son; a suicidal patient; the arrogant Sir Percy; and the hapless salesman charged with fitting false breasts. Director Ed Baierlein stresses the cartoonishness of the characters. American actors tend to have a problem with English accents, but Baierlein doesn't just sidestep it; he stands it on its head and gives it a little twirl, so that the actors mock and exaggerate their own assumed accents. It should be illegal to have as much fun in public as actress Sallie Diamond has with the words "Addis Ababa." The show is expertly staged, and the production does full justice to Bennett's combination of world-weariness and raunchy schoolboy humor.

Impulse Theater. Basements and comedy go together like beer and nuts or toddlers and sandboxes. The basement of the Wynkoop Brewery where Impulse Theater performs is crowded, loud and energetic. Impulse does no prepared skits, nothing but pure improv -- which means that what you see changes every night, and so does the team of actors. These actors set up and follow certain rules and frameworks; they rely on audience suggestions to get these scenes going or to vary the action. Your level of enjoyment depends a lot on whether or not you like the players. Charm is a factor, and so is the ability to take risks. Fortunately, the performers are clever and fast on their feet, willing to throw themselves into the action but never betraying tension or anxiety, perfectly content to shrug off a piece that isn't coming together. The show is funny when the actors hit a groove, but equally funny when they get stymied. So, in a way, the improvisers -- and the audience -- can't lose. Presented by Impulse Theater in an open-ended run, Wynkoop Brewing Co., 18th and Wynkoop streets, 303-297-2111 or www.impulsetheater.com. Reviewed June 3.
Not About Heroes. Not About Heroes is a dramatization of the friendship of World War I poet fighters Wilfred Owen and Siegfried Sassoon, told through the two men's letters and poetry. They met in a hospital: Owen, the younger of the two, was suffering from shell shock. Sassoon had been sent there because he had protested the immorality and futility of the war and thrown his Military Cross ribbon into the River Mersey. He encouraged the awestruck Owen in his writing, and the two became close friends. Both of them eventually returned to battle, motivated by a complex mixture of emotions that included a sense of responsibility toward the men still fighting. Sassoon survived; Owens died a week before the end of the war. Written in the early 1980s, the play obviously has much to say to us now about the politicians who send young men to senseless death and killing. Owen and Sassoon both tried to capture the horror of what they saw in words. It is hugely to Chasm View's credit that it is offering this quietly intense play. "All a poet can do today," Wilfred Owen said in 1918, "is warn."

Poignant Irritations. Local playwright Melissa Lucero McCarl has undertaken a life of Gertrude B. Stein and her longtime lover -- or more accurately, wife -- Alice B. Toklas. The result is intriguing, mind-teasing, often moving and not without flaws. Poignant Irritations is too long, and some of the first-act dialogue seems arch. An expatriate who lived in France, Stein created a salon filled with extraordinary works of art, frequented by Ezra Pound, Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald and other members of what she dubbed the Lost Generation. Stein was a fierce advocate of cubism, and tried to utilize cubist theories in her writing, which is rhythmic and highly repetitive. Some of the best passages in the play are those in which Stein explains herself, as when she lectures on the meaning of her well-known and much-derided line "Rose is a rose is a rose." True to the spirit of its protagonist, Poignant Irritations is a scatter of a work, with no plot or straightforward timeline. Some of the scenes are resonant, piquant or funny; some are a perfect marriage of language and feeling. Halfway through Poignant Irritations, the two actresses change roles -- an illustration of the intense closeness of Toklas and Stein. The results are mixed. But these are fine performances, and with some tinkering, Poignant Irritations will be a first-rate play.

The ATS Sleep and Respiratory Neurobiology Assembly coordinates the society's activities in these areas. We have established a section of the website to support sleep issues, an important area for many of us. This section will include Sleep Fragments, a current offering on the website and the Assembly's first ever web-based educational tool entitled "Web-Based Learning in Sleep." This initiative, which started last year, builds on the 2005 ATS statement "Curriculum and Competency Assessment Tools for Sleep Disorders in Pulmonary Fellowship Training Programs," which set forth standards for training programs, continuing education and re-certification in pulmonary and internal medicine. This tool is a three-part presentation on "Structure and Function of the Upper Airway: Implications for Sleep Apnea." The instruction is directed towards fellows in training programs, and includes pre- and post-test questions of knowledge. CME credit is available through the ATS.
Suggestions for further development are always welcome.
Thank you.

Tamara, The photo feature is greatly appreciated by those of us who try to diagnose the problems and work out a solution and you may rest assured that old stumble fingers me, really appreciates the ability to edit a post.. However: There still remains one unrelenting problem that I can assure you, if it is not corrected in a short time, I for one will stop coming here. Everyone knows that typing in all caps is considered shouting and it is socially unacceptable behaviour, well, I for one also consider the practice of POP UP ads to be synonamous with an ignorant ill-bred oaf butting into our personal conversations. When a pop-up occurs I can assure you that I instantly see red, and if it were in the real world the individual who is butting in would very publicly receive a less than flattering piece of my mind. On the other hand, not having the ability to give them a piece of my mind, I do have the ability to instantly locate the cancel button and pop them off to eitherland without so much as a by your leave. You may also know that while I am looking for that cancel button I am not paying on iota of attention to the intended purpose of the ad, for it the truth was know, based up their rude introductions I would not do business with them if they wer giving away $100 bills free. Now you may regard this as just my individual rant, but you can rest assured that this is discussed quite frequently and their is a firm rule in business, for every client or customer who bothers to write a complaint, they also represent at least 100 more who share the feelings but don't bother to write. And what I hate even worse than the pop ups are when I close out my browser and find 5 or 6 of those popups still on my desktop. I am on the internet an average of 7 hours a day and this is the only site where I am getting all these damn pop-ups either do something to get a handle on them or you can color me gone. |

On May 1st, a group of about 50 people gathered in Fargo, North Dakota. Their intent? To try and "shut down" the only clinic in the state that provides pregnancy terminations, in the hopes to make it an "abortion-free" state.
Leading the charge was Operation Save America, under the leadership of Rev. Flip Benham. Best known for his belief in "justifiable homicide" and his "Wanted" posters styled to make doctors who provide safe abortion care and those who employ them look like Old West villains (and with the "Dead or Alive" implied), Benham has been arrested multiple times for stalking.

Apparently Eaton/C-H has retro-fit kits which allow you to swap out the sub-standard "guts" of the dreaded Zinsco main panel, leaving the outer box and conduit connections in place. You then have MUCH better buss bars, and, of course, C-H breakers instead of Zinsco's "slide-o-matics". =:O
The quantum savings in labor is obvious. Cutler-Hammer claims equal savings in materials. ANYONE actually done this--or heard about it from reliable sparkies? How's it working out? Thanks in advance. PS: anyone know why this forum no longer works in latest Opera browser??? |

I just replaced my ZInsco panel with a new Square D QO panel. The effort to make the change wasn't that bad. However, the CH retrofit doesn't look like too bad of a deal. There's nothing magic about the "box" of the panel itself. Should be plenty of room, the Zin breakers were substantially larger than the CH ones if I remember. |

Tell us more. Last time I needed a replacement Zinsco breaker, it was made by Challenger and was very expensive. |
Given the likely low volume of a special 'kit' it might prove cheaper to just buy a new panel and throw away the box it came in. The bus bar and other component listing is not dependent on the box it is installed in. |
Tell us more. Last time I needed a replacement Zinsco breaker, it was made by Challenger and was very expensive. I don't know where to find the Zinsco version but it's the same deal. As you can see, it's about replacing the entire panel guts, nut just a single breaker. |
I'm sure for NM-B connections, swapping in a whole Square-D QO panel OF THE SAME SIZE is not too bad, labor-wise, but what about if it's all EMT and RIGID coming in? Should be plenty of room, the Zin breakers were substantially larger than the CH ones if I remember. I think you're right, per se, but the Zinsco has all the breakers in a single column; each breaker spans both buss bars, though of course the single poles only contact one or the other. But that's far from the stupidest design feature, as most already know. GOTTA take measurements... the width might work out. |
The bus bar and other component listing is not dependent on the box it is installed in. Are ya sure? There's the location of mounting holes for buss bars, neutral bars, plus the BONDING of GND and neutral, etc. I kinda thought the whole PANEL SYSTEM got its listing as a unit, si/no? Then there's issue of how long can you have the power off to do all this McGuyvering... ;') |
You can drill and tap any holes you need. There is no restriction on altering things like that. There are even cutout boxes and panels that come without a single hole. Everything is drilled and punched as needed in the field. |
... that's good to know. I'd better also check the DEPTH of the lame-o Zin box. Maybe I could actually do this over a 2-day period, incl. new wires pulled for certain code-violating branches, when family member is out of town... hmmm... |

Forget about Google Android 2.2 Froyo. You'll want the newer Google Android Gingerbread (2.3) that'll come pre-loaded on the HTC Vision smartphone. At least, that's what the latest rumors are leading us to believe. We don't have any kind of firm confirmation, or even initial renders for the HTC Vision, but this smartphone sounds like it's going to be a beast. In addition to boasting a yet unreleased build of Android, the Vision will also get a dual-core 800MHz processor. This might be an underclocked version of the dual core Snapdragon, but I can't say for sure.
But wait. There's more. The HTC Vision will also have a 4.3-inch display, 8-megapixel camera, and a full QWERTY keyboard. By the sounds of things, this phone will be launching with T-Mobile later on this year, probably closer to the holiday shopping season.
The dual core processor sounds like it could be great for all kinds of heavy lifting, but based on the current battery lives of many smartphones (like the HTC EVO 4G), I'd be concerned about how long it can last until you reach for a wall outlet.
Oh, and there's that rumor about a Motorola Android phone with a 2GHz processor. That's just nuts.
[IntoMobile via TMOnews]
Android 2.3 is now released on the google nexus s made by samsung, it IS gingerbread and IS NOT android 3.0. What dumbass thought of that one, they gonna make android 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, then forget the rest and jump to 3.0. seriously people where the hell did your brains run away to….
Galaxy S is in uk now
hay i was waiting for the galaxy s pro but now its not comming to the u k. samung can put there phones up there buck side ive had them for years not any more im going to see about the H T C vision sounds one hell of a phone
geee, im waiting even for a android phone,,, damit, i cant get a decent phone her in mexico, we suscribers on a GMS network we only get 3 android phones so far.. motorola DEXT, BACKFLIP, and sony ericsson XPERIA x10 which by the way isnt multi touch. and on the CDMA carrier we only get motorolas DROID and thats it,,,
Gingerbread will be 3.0
John: I've heard both, actually. I'm not entirely sure whether Gingerbread is 2.3 or 3.0, so until Google makes some sort of formal announcement, I don't think anyone knows for sure.
I thought Gingerbread is Android 3.0 not 2.3.
no , 2.3 is gingerbread and 3.0 is honeycomb.do not confuse
This Vision will be a terrible phone. I'm waiting for the four core phone running Android 3.7.
Hey @Bruce, why don't you just buy a computer?

Triceratops, with its three horns and bony frill around the back of its head, is one of the more recognizable dinosaurs. Its name is a combination of Greek syllables tri-, meaning "three," kéras, meaning "horn," and ops, meaning "face."
Credit: © Scott Hartman / All rights reserved
Triceratops roamed North America about 68 million to 65 million years ago, toward the end of the Cretaceous Period. There were several species in the genus Triceratops, most notably T. horridus and T. prorsus. There is some debate about whether Torosaurus was a separate genus or a Triceratops in its mature form. There was also a two-horned dinosaur named Diceratops, which some paleontologists think was another species of Triceratops.
About 50 Triceratops skulls and partial skeletons have been found, so paleontologists have a lot of material available to help them get a clear picture of the dinosaur.
Triceratops was about 26 feet to 29.5 feet (7.9 meters to 9 meters) long; 9.5 feet to 9.8 feet (2.9 meters to 3 meters) high and weighed 13,000 pounds to 26,000 pounds (5,909 kilograms to 11,818 kilograms).
It had strong limbs to move its massive body. The forelimbs, which were shorter than the rear ones, each had five toes; the rear limbs had four toes each. The first three toes, or hooves, on the front limbs bore the animal's weight while the other were vestigial, lacking any obvious purpose. Recent studies have suggested that Triceratops' posture was upright like an elephant's rather than a sprawling, elbows-out posture like a lizard's.
Credit: enginestudio.org
The head of Triceratops was huge, some making up one-third of the entire length of the dinosaur's body. The largest skull specimen is calculated to have been about 8.2 feet (2.5 meters) long when complete, making it the largest known skull of all land animals at that time. Its eyes were set to the sides of the skull to provide a better view of potential predators.
Two massive horns, which were about 3 feet (1 meter) long, were above each eye and a smaller one was on the snout. Paleontologists say it's likely that the horns were used in combat against other horned dinosaurs, mating and establishing a pecking order in a herd. However, paleontologists do not believe Triceratops was confrontational — charging like a bull; there is stronger evidence that the horns were used more as a protective tool, especially when its young were endangered.
Because of its large size, Triceratops could only move at 10 mph (16 kph). Being a prime target for Tyrannosauruses looking for a meal, it had to battle its enemies rather than try to outrun them. Some scientists think the frill — also known as a flounce — acted as a type of body armor. It also may have played a role in regulating body temperature. While other prehistoric animals had frills, Triceratops is the only known species to have such an adornment that was supported by bones.
The skin of Triceratops was believed to be covered in bristle-like formations, which is unique and not seen on other dinosaurs. This indicates that Triceratops may at one point have had feathers, which would have helped regulate body temperature.
What did Triceratops eat?
Triceratops was an herbivore, existing mostly on shrubs and other plant life. Its beak-like mouth was well-suited for crunching on tougher plants and trees avoided by other herbivores, providing it with a wealth of food. It also likely used its horns to tip over taller trees.
It had up to 800 teeth that were constantly being replenished. To fit all of those teeth in its mouth, they were in groups called batteries — with each battery having 36 to 40 teeth stacked in three to five columns.
Fossil discoveries
In 1887, the first bones of a Triceratops were discovered in Denver and were sent to Othniel Charles Marsh. At first, Marsh believed it was a bison. It wasn't until more Triceratops bones were found in 1888 that Marsh gave the beast the name Triceratops.
While no complete skeleton has been unearthed, partial skeletons have been found in Montana, South Dakota, Colorado and Wyoming, as well as in Canada in the Saskatchewan and Alberta areas. Triceratops was confined to North America because the continent had already split from Europe and, along with South America, had begun to drift across the ocean. [Tiny & Old: Images of Triceratops Ancestors]
Specimens representing life stages from hatchling to adult have been unearthed. Triceratops fossils have generally been found in coastal lowland sediments.
Although Triceratopses are commonly portrayed as herding animals, there is currently little evidence that they lived in herds. Bone beds of other species of horned dinosaurs have been discovered with bones from hundreds or thousands of animals. To date, there is only one documented Triceratops bone bed.
In 1997, a baby Triceratops skull, along with a few vertebrae, teeth and bony tendons, were discovered in the Montana portion of the Hell Creek Formation by amateur fossil hunter Harley Garbani.
From 2000 to 2010 alone, more than 40 complete or partial skulls were discovered in the Hell Creek Formation, an area covering the Eastern Badlands of Montana, Southwestern South Dakota, and Southwestern North Dakota.

CSIRO, the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation, is Australia's national science agency and one of the largest and most diverse research agencies in the world.
Large-scale, long-term, multidisciplinary science to address Australia's major national challenges and opportunities.
CSIRO manages national facilities and collections that are opened to researchers around Australia and overseas.
The National Marine Bioregionalisation of Australia is providing a framework for classifying Australia's marine environment into bioregions relevant to their physical environment and ecological communities.
It includes a range of spatial scales that are useful for regional marine planning and management and is the most comprehensive national marine bioregionalisation developed for any part of the world.
It was developed with the contributions of many organisations including Geosciences Australia as a major collaborator and through funding support from the Australian Government Department of Environment and Heritage.
The project, managed by the National Oceans Office, was designed to help define and describe the marine ecosystems of Australia's ocean territory.
A number of scientists from CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research were involved in developing the products with colleagues from museums, state and national agencies.
CSIRO contributed the first ever bioregionalisation of Australia's relatively unexplored continental slope, and a three-dimensional regionalisation of the oceans around Australia based on a huge data compilation exercise.
By better defining what is in our oceans, the National Marine Bioregionalisation provides a framework to help in making management decisions on the basis of spatial and ecological criteria.
It has been adopted by the Australian Government Department of Environment and Heritage as the underlying spatial framework for developing regional marine plans and establishing a national representative system of marine protected areas as required by Australia's Oceans Policy.
This is also leading to its broader adoption within the scientific community as a standard framework for interpreting ecological information and structuring observational programs and spatial models.

All yard signs feature full-color designs, printed on both sides in durable, weather-proof inks and are suitable for extended outdoor placement. Yard stakes are included with every sign purchase.
Shout out ads are in full color and will be included in the Centennial Media Guide that is sold for $5 at all home football games. Photos should be uploaded on the site as you purchase your ad. Football players may choose to use the Lifetouch photo. All other students and athletes need to upload the photos.
