This is also a good list for printing out in column form and then another column added as to where it is stored in your crafts area. think I might do it. I'm always wondering where I put so and so. |
I started getting them in a column and when I finish I'll post it. It's shocking at how much stuff we have. |

Chula Vista - On Tuesday, May 17, 2011, Officers from Chula Vista, Southwestern College, San Diego, Probation, and the San Diego County Sheriff's Department conducted a multi-agency Court Sting Operation in Chula Vista. The operation was part of the Repeat Offender DUI Prosecution and Awareness Program funded by the California Office of Traffic Safety. During the operation, 27 drivers were issued citations for driving without valid licenses, and another was arrested for an outstanding warrant. 17 other drivers received citations for other violations, and 28 vehicles were impounded.
This was considered a successful operation, both in number of unlicensed/suspended drivers removed from the street and in the amount of public awareness generated. The South Bay Regional law enforcement agencies will be continuing their efforts to keep drivers in our community safe.
Funding for this program was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

When I recently made the move to Orlando the most essential addition to my move budget was the cost of my AP. This was true if, for no other reason, the number of visitors that are planning to come down to see me. My boyfriend, my mom, my sister, my dad, friends, other family.... we're all Disney nuts in varying extremes and I knew that their trips would not be complete without at least a day or two in the World. I bought the pass a little under a month ago, and next weekend it was already be getting it's 3rd use. The cost of admission made the pass an obvious purchase for me, with the free parking and discounts an definite plus, as well.
Also, being here for such a short time I don't know many people and while I don't plan on visiting the parks on my own, I am looking forward to spending an afternoon in Epcot wandering through the countries to pick up Christmas gifts. It's one stop shopping! And I certainly wouldn't be planning that if I was wasting a day's admission just to shop.

It shows why female are egoistic to demand that.
Just explained the strategies and such and how it optimize it for the female but it did not explain WHY they are egocentric
Oh and
Pretty much says if you find it up YOU should take it back up when you're done, may have been intended but doubt it wasThe point is: Put it back the way you found it, and quit being lazy.
Also, discuss it in a rational way please, saying we should stop being lazy and put it down is pretty much the same as saying stop being lazy so you can be lazy instead

17 and just got your learners? you on that stupid graduated license thing or what? dumbest idea i've ever seen.
Yar. In my state (in Australia), we have our Learners for a year, and then our Provisionals for three years, THEN we get our Open license. >.< Of course, I was incredibly lazy in getting my license, and I could be on my P's by now, but am not. xD

I do this as well. The seat is down as requested.

I make sure the LID is down after I use it, my bf better make sure he puts them both down.
You're being irrational, we like it up, you like it down, we have to put it down, you put it down, see? Thanks
Actually your being irrational b/c if we always put it down you wouldn't have to. Period. Its really just a mind trick girls use to see how much they can "train" their men.

If it never goes, then weren't you in love with the childhood friend you never left and eventually dated or even married? Love is blind, that includes to age.
+2Yes I'm in love with a boy .... a boy who understands me and cares about me ... I've been with him for a while now and I'm just so happy.... yea something I get upset but everyone gets upset in a relationship .... I don't care what anyone else says I'm in love I don't care if I'm only 13 I love him
- knockout_ok 2014/07/02 03:35:19yes!:) ( explain )im 14 about to turn 15and yes i think one can fall in love at a young age yes it is different when one is older because ur an adult therefore more freedom and you can make ur own decision but at a young age i think we can because we feel deeply for someone, if u don't see that person u love u feel like theres an empty hole in ur heart but at the same we as teenagers it is very easy to fall out of love because we r still growing making mistakes and figuring life

- rebecca 2013/04/13 05:04:03yes!:) ( explain )es. I'm fifteen now, but when I was 12 I had my first love. We started off as strangers, and then we became friends, I tried to tell myself that I didn't have feelings for him because we were literally best friends. But everything inside of me was screaming that I loved him. I really did. We were inseparable. No one could get between us. Ever. One day he told me he loved me, as more than a friend and we went into a relationship. I was so happy. Sucks for me, because I guess things can't last, right? One day he just left. I don't know what happened to him. Like he didn't come to school one day and I found out that he had moved and ever since then I've never forgotten about him. I know I'm never going to see him again it just really is sad...and well I guess I'm not in love with him anymore, and at the age of twelve I probably thought it was just a crush, but now I am a lot older and realize that love has no age, no gender, etc. I was utterly in love with him.

(Parents don't like dating and school mixing) But if your 12 and falling in love with an 16+ year old, up goes the red flag. Not only is that illegal without parents consent but nasty! Keeping it safe (you know what I mean) and keeping at a decent age limit is fine if you start dating the guy you love. But there is a point where things turn into rape.

I've been in love, and I'm 16. The only thing is a person can't think that their first strong feelings are love - there's a difference between lust and love.

Yes, we all know you're supposed to check your brains at the door when launching into a Jack Higgins thriller. And often Solo, The Eagle Has Landed, etc. it's a pleasure to do so. This time, however, Higgins wants us to swallow stuff that's not just over the top but also over-the-hill. Cold Harbour; already making itself comfortable on the best-seller lists (thanks to the Higgins byline and a Nazi officer's hat on the cover), is a shameless hash of plotlets and mini-melodramas from the archives of multimedia schlock.
You see, it's a month or so before D-Day, and beauteous Anne-Marie Trevaunce, at her occupied chateau in occupied France, is about to entertain Field Marshal Erwin Rommel and maybe worm some nifty war secrets out of him for the Allies. So when Anne-Marie is suddenly knocked out of commission, British Intelligence cajoles and badgers her estranged twin, Genevieve, an English nurse, into impersonating Anne-Marie! And Genevieve, while puffing conscientiously on Anne-Marie's Gitanes, finds herself falling for an SS colonel with "vivid blue eyes."
To be fair, Cold Harbour does improve slightly in the last 100 pages, when OSS agent Craig Osbourne, war hero and "Yale man," discovers that Genevieve has been the unwitting pawn of a ruthless British spymaster and sets off to rescue her, disguised as a Nazi officer (complete with swastika-flying E-boat and German-speaking crew). But, with nonstop stereotypes and gee-whiz cameos (FDR, Ike, George VI), this is recommended only for those who consider Eye of the Needle experimental fiction." D

29. OCI 'U' Visa on expired passport
Dear Sir/Madam,
My family wishes to travel to India from US during
this month. We all have OCI cards.
During this past year my daughter had to renew her
US passport. She has the 'U' visa which is also the
life-long visa for India on her old US passport.
I hear that to transfer that visa to her new passport
will take more than a month and hence it is too long
a time for me to do that.
Will she be allowed entry into India if I carry her old
passport (with the U visa) and the new passport
along with her OCI booklet ?
Thank you for all your help in this matter. K.K.
Rashmi Shenoy
As long as your daughter carries her old passport wherein the OCI 'U' visa sticker was
pasted along with new passport there should be no problem.
When the OCI scheme was initially announced, the requirement of fresh OCI documents
was not mentioned. In the event a persons passport expired they could travel to India if they carried
their expired foreign passport having the OCI U Visa stamp along with their new passport.
Subsequently, it was clarified by the authorities that even though OCI was a lifelong visa, based on
a persons age, fresh documents would be required until the applicants were over 50 years of age.

Millie was found and brought to us. She was very thin and very scared. She has been in a foster home and is comfortable there and has learned to play with the other dogs.

We rescue stray and unwanted dogs and give them daily care, medical needs, spay/neuter them and adopt them out.We are always in need of volunteers and donations. Foster homes are a critical need as it allows us to save more dogs until they can be adopted out to their forever home. We want to save as many lives as we can.
Our Mission Statement:
Chouteau Pound Pals exists for the sole purpose of helping homeless shelter dogs have a better life. We believe every dog should have an opportunity to be a beloved family pet. It is to this end we seek out every avenue to adopt out pound and shelter dogs rather than have them euthanized.
Chouteau Pound Pals is dedicated to improving the lives of our homeless canine friends by providing prompt medical care, good nourishing food, lavishing them with love & affection, all while trying to find them good permanent homes.
Give us your stray, your scraggly, your lonely dogs dying to be loved, the lost puppies who've been dumped, send these, the homeless, the lost of your neighborhood to us. We lift our food bowls beside the rescue door.
We still believe that dog is man's best friend!

March 15, 2012
Last week was my sister's birthday, so to celebrate she invited the family to her home for a little celebration. Over the course of the afternoon (and a few drinks) we got to talking about our Grandparents, particularly our devout Irish-Catholic Grandmother.
My brother told the story of when she was teaching him to pray the Rosary. I guess she thought it was time for him to move beyond "Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep." For those of you who weren't raised Catholic, or who are unfamiliar with saying the Rosary, all you need to know is this: It involves saying the "Hail Mary" again and again.
So my Grandmother told him what to do, gave him a set of Rosary Beads, and left the room. I guess after saying a few Hail Marys, he got bored. From the next room, instead of hearing "Hail Mary Full of Grace…" my Grandmother heard Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na--Batman!
My brother didn't need to go to Confession for that particular sin. He got his penance when she whipped him across his shoulder blades with her Rosary Beads.

Editor's Note: A special thanks to Dr. Monica Ozores-Hampton for helping coordinate the Immokalee Report.
The Orange Hammock citrus grove has become well known for use of the Boyd Mix, a combination of nutrients and SAR (systemic acquired resistance) products applied foliarly to greening-infected trees. Combined with an Asian citrus psyllid control program and a soil-applied dry fertilizer program, the Orange Hammock trees have remained healthy and productive for nine seasons.
In 2008, a trial using various combinations of the Boyd Mix was established at the University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences' Southwest Research and Education Center in Immokalee, Fla., to investigate which components contributed the most to production and ultimately to grower returns. The trees were 4-year old Hamlin sweet orange on Swingle citrumelo rootstock. PCR leaf analysis confirmed that all trees were positive for huanglongbing, or HLB, in 2008 and remained positive throughout the trial.
Timing of treatment applications was synchronized during the year with the vegetative growth flushes—spring flush [March], summer flush [June], and the fall flush [September]. Visual observations of tree condition and expression of nutritional deficiencies and HLB symptoms were made during the year.
Observations included foliage canopy color and general tree health. Each year, fruit was harvested and average yield by treatment was reported as pounds per tree. Yields were converted into boxes [90-pound box] and scaled upwards to an acre by assuming a tree density of 150 trees per acre. Table 1 ranks the treatments by projected cumulative production and the top seven treatments were not significantly different.
Juice quality as measured by U.S. Department of Agriculture fruit maturity factors determined with an official commercial FMC juice extractor indicated no significant differences among treatments.
It was observed that the control trees and trees receiving foliar treatments without micronutrients exhibited symptoms of manganese and zinc deficiencies throughout the year and some chlorotic leaves including HLB blotchy mottle.
The trees receiving treatments with micronutrients rarely expressed symptoms of micronutrient deficiencies during the growing season. Trees receiving both macro and micronutrients appeared greener and healthier than other trees.
All trees showed moderately visible HLB symptomatic leaves during fall and winter. The trees receiving the complete complement of macro- and micronutrients remained mostly free of HLB symptomatic leaves during the growing season with only minor symptomatic leaves during the winter.

Package and Contents
First off, its package and contents. MicroATX means a small box and ASUS hasn't oversized the box despite their reputation of putting their top line boards into large boxes. Yes, it is an ROG board, but it's still a Micro board. On the front of the box there are the usual ROG logos and the board model mentioned. The box is the same colour that the Rampage II Extreme was packed in, being red.
On the back of the box there is the full spec list that is also included on the website, so you will not get any additional info on the web. ASUS does a good job by giving you all the info that is available on the website about the board on the back of the box. However, there is no colour photo of the board which is a bit of a letdown.
When it comes to ASUS the documentation is extremely helpful. There is only a single user manual, however, the included one incorporates all the board settings, BIOS setup and software information in this rather thick manual. The included DVD contains quite a few programs including 3DMark Vantage.
ASUS has a reasonable cable bundle with its Rampage II Gene. There is a single IDE cable supporting two drives as well as six SATA data cables. There are no FDD or SATA power converters in this setup.
Now, this looks interesting. While it may be MicroATX by design, the board comes with Crossfire and SLI cables which means this board comes with two PCIe x16 slots; so happy days for those who want SLI or CF. A LCD poster unit is also included that gives read outs on the post codes and other features of the board when in operation.
Lastly, there is a PCI expansion cover bracket along with the breakout connectors for the USB, FireWire and Front panel connectors.

i want the bride and groom ears to wear the day of our wedding anniversary... i can get them on ebay for like $37 plus shipping for the set.. how much are they there and how hard are they to locate??
They are very easy to locate in my experience. I do not recall the current cost unfortunately. They don't seem to make the hat version of the bride ears anymore, but instead you get the headband version of the bride ears in the parks. I've been looking for the hat version of the bride ears for an upcoming anniversary...
I don't remember the exact cost, but I'm sure they will be cheaper than $37 dollars plus shipping costs.
I have a pair too from my honeymoon, but I don't want to mess them by writing in glitter glue the year of our anniversary. That's what I wanted to do with the second hat....
BTW, I checked out the prices for the ears in question on www.laughingplace.com:
So if you really want them in advance, eBay appears to be cheaper.
i also have been thinking.... they are white... the bride ears and we were married on haloween.. what if i bought a plain hat or set of ears in black and then just got me some spider web printed sheer to give it a veil and them do some lil halloweenie things to it..
i sure will... i believe that is what i will do.. to those who have a set of the ears with the veil and stuff can i see a pic of what they look like??
That's a truly unique idea there! Sounds like it'd be a perfect fit for a Halloween aniiversary! :yes:
looky looky at what my friend got at Disneyland for me yesterday!!
so now she is going to mail them to me and i can get started on them... i cant wait!!
i just wish i had a pic of what the bride ears look like!! so i have a idea of what they look like
i jut found out she gave $8.50 for mine and $14 for his.. so i'm saving money doing it my way and i will have a pair of halloween bride and groom ears.. and i will stand out and not be like everyone else!!! i cant wait to get them and halloween them up.. i'm going to but a orange ribbon around his hat and put a dancin skeleton or something on it..
i cant wait!

The Holy See in Rome is one of five new embassies to be set up including missions in Bangkok in Thailand, Jakarta in Indonesia, the Croatian capital Zagreb and Nairobi in Kenya.
Three new consuls will also be opened as part of Ireland's revamped diplomatic operations, including bases in Hong Kong, Austin in Texas and Sao Paulo in Brazil.
Plans to reopen the embassy in the Holy See has been on the table for months.
Archbishop Charles Brown is the Pope's representative in Ireland, he welcomed the announcement.
He said: "I am very pleased by the announcement of the Irish Government regarding the reopening of a residential Embassy of Ireland to the Holy See, and the appointment of a resident Ambassador.
"It is an excellent decision for the people of Ireland and will be beneficial to Ireland in making its distinctive and important contribution to international relations.
"We are all grateful to those who worked so hard to make this day possible."
The decision to shut the embassy in November 2011 was seen in some quarters as a snub to the Catholic Church in the wake of a series of damning reports of the mishandling of clerical abuse.
Based on our shared commitment to justice, peace, eradication of poverty, international development, and the protection of the environment, I now look forward to on-going and fruitful co-operation between Ireland and the Holy See for the common good.Cardinal Seán Brady
Based on our shared commitment to justice, peace, eradication of poverty, international development, and the protection of the environment, I now look forward to on-going and fruitful co-operation between Ireland and the Holy See for the common good.
Cardinal Seán Brady
The renewed presence in the Vatican has been described by the Department of Foreign Affairs as a scaled-back, one-person embassy with a focus on international development.
"This will enable Ireland to engage directly with the leadership of Pope Francis on the issues of poverty eradication, hunger and human rights," the department said.
Eamon Gilmore, Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade, said the overall expansion is an investment in Ireland's future.
"Over the past five years our diplomats have been tasked with the frontline role in restoring Ireland's once-tattered reputation abroad, and in championing our economic cause," he said.
"And they have been hugely successful in doing that - both in European capitals, influencing key decisions at European Council level, and in major cities, organisations and political capitals around the world.
"This expansion of the embassy network will help to bolster that effort, and, crucially, to drive Ireland's economic recovery which has been export-led. It will equip Ireland to take advantage of emerging opportunities and will provide certainty for business that resources will be in place to support them in key markets and regions."
Cardinal Seán Brady, Archbishop of Armagh and Primate of All Ireland, has welcomed the decision.
"Whilst the embassy has been closed since November 2011, it is important to recognise that diplomatic relations between Ireland and the Holy See were in existence and productive during this time.
"Today's decision also reflects positively on the process of Church State Structured Dialogue. The question of the re-opening of the embassy to the Holy See was one of the issues raised by our delegation at the meeting of that dialogue in Government Buildings last January."
Ireland has 300 diplomats in 73 locations abroad allowing relations with 176 states. Opening the new missions is expected to cost €4.7m a year.
The Department of Foreign Affairs said Thailand and Indonesia were selected because of their fast growing economies while Hong Kong and Sao Paolo because of the financial and business hubs and Texas for its booming tech hub.
Croatia recently became the 28th member state of the European Union.
The department said further diplomatic links were needed in Nairobi because of the work of Ireland's aid programme, Irish Aid, which will help to accelerate the planned transition from aid to trade in Africa.
Despite the expansion some missions will be scaled back or closed with the embassy in Lesotho to shut and the embassy in South Africa assuming responsibility for the kingdom. The embassy in Vilnius, Lithuania, will be downsized.
Elsewhere, the existing Irish Aid office in Freetown, Sierra Leone, will be upgraded to embassy status.

We doubt coach class will fly with Anna Wintour
Will Anna Wintour be forced to fly coach to Orlando in March?
The Vogue Editrix (along with our girl Martha Stewart) is scheduled to address the Magazine Publishers of America at a conference this spring on topics such as: keeping omelets out of the Conde Nast elevators and how to recover from PETA attacks. Oh, and something about starting Teen Vogue and Men's Vogue.
But, we're not too sure Conde's got the funds to fly her there in first class.
Speculation that Conde Nast's car service perks may be coming to a halt, makes us wonder if Ms. Wintour will be flying on the Newhouse dime in the high styles of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. If things continue at this rate, she may have to (gasp!) settle for an in-flight chair with the regular people, in seat with a higher number than six.

Radiation damage
This article needs additional citations for verification. (March 2007) |
Radiation damage is a term associated with ionizing radiation.
This radiation may take several forms:
- Cosmic rays and subsequent energetic particles caused by their collision with the atmosphere and other materials.
- Radioactive daughter products (radioisotopes) caused by the collision of cosmic rays with the atmosphere and other materials, including living tissues.
- Energetic particle beams from a particle accelerator.
- Energetic particles or electro-magnetic radiation (X rays) released from collisions of such particles with a target, as in an X ray machine or incidentally in the use of a particle accelerator.
- Particles or various types of rays released by radioactive decay of elements, which may be naturally occurring, created by accelerator collisions, or created in a nuclear reactor. They may be manufactured for therapeutic or industrial use or be released accidentally by nuclear accident, or released sententially by a dirty bomb, or released into the atmosphere, ground, or ocean incidental to the explosion of a nuclear weapon for warfare or nuclear testing.
Effects on materials and devices[edit]
Radiation may affect materials and devices in deleterious ways:
- By causing the materials to become radioactive (mainly by neutron activation, or in presence of high-energy gamma radiation by photodisintegration).
- By nuclear transmutation of the elements within the material including, for example, the production of Hydrogen and Helium which can in turn alter the mechanical properties of the materials and cause swelling and embrittlement.
- By radiolysis (breaking chemical bonds) within the material, which can weaken it, cause it to swell, polymerize, promote corrosion, cause belittlements, promote cracking or otherwise change its desirable mechanical, optical, or electronic properties.
- By formation of reactive compounds, affecting other materials (e.g. ozone cracking by ozone formed by ionization of air).
- By ionization, causing electrical breakdown, particularly in semiconductors employed in electronic equipment, with subsequent currents introducing operation errors or even permanently damaging the devices. Devices intended for high radiation environments such as the nuclear industry and extra atmospheric (space) applications may be made radiation hard to resist such effects through design, material selection, and fabrication methods.
Many of the radiation effects on materials are produced by collision cascades and covered by radiation chemistry.
Effects on gases[edit]
Exposure to radiation causes chemical changes in gases. The least susceptible to damage are noble gases, where the major concern is the nuclear transmutation with followup chemical reactions of the nuclear reaction products.
High-intensity ionizing radiation in air can produce a visible ionized air glow of telltale bluish-purplish color. The glow can be observed e.g. during criticality accidents, around mushroom clouds shortly after a nuclear explosion, or inside of a damaged nuclear reactor like during the Chernobyl disaster.
Significant amounts of ozone can be produced. Even small amounts of ozone can cause ozone cracking in many polymers over time, in addition to the damage by the radiation itself.
Gas-filled tubes[edit]
Radiation has detrimental effects on gas-filled tubes, ionizing the gas inside and increasing its electrical conductivity, interfering with the functionality of the tubes. Vacuum tubes are much less sensitive to radiation effects.
The ionization effects are exploited in gas-filled radiation detectors, e.g. the Geiger tube. The electrical discharge plasma however tends to cause aging of the gas and/or the detector electrodes.
Gas-filled radiation detectors[edit]
In gas-filled particle detectors, radiation damage to gases plays an important role in the device's aging, especially in devices exposed to high intensity radiation, e.g. detectors for the Large Hadron Collider.
Ionization processes require energy above 10 eV, while splitting covalent bonds in molecules and generating free radicals requires only 3-4 eV. The electrical discharges initiated by the ionization events by the particles result in plasma populated by large amount of free radicals. The highly reactive free radicals can recombine back to original molecules, or initiate a chain of free radical polymerization reactions with other molecules, yielding compounds with increasing molecular weight. These high molecular weight compounds then precipitate from gaseous phase, forming conductive or non-conductive deposits on the electrodes and insulating surfaces of the detector and distorting its response. Gases containing hydrocarbon quenchers, e.g. argon-methane, are typically sensitive to aging by polymerization; addition of oxygen tends to lower the aging rates. Trace amounts of silicone oils, present from outgassing of silicone elastomers and especially from traces of silicone lubricants, tend to decompose and form deposits of silicon crystals on the surfaces. Gaseous mixtures of argon (or xenon) with carbon dioxide and optionally also with 2-3% of oxygen are highly tolerant to high radiation fluxes. The oxygen is added as noble gas with carbon dioxide has too high transparency for high-energy photons; ozone formed from the oxygen is a strong absorber of ultraviolet photons. Carbon tetrafluoride can be used as a component of the gas for high-rate detectors; the fluorine radicals produced during the operation however limit the choice of materials for the chambers and electrodes (e.g. gold electrodes are required, as the fluorine radicals attack metals, forming fluorides). Addition of carbon tetrafluoride can however eliminate the silicon deposits. Presence of hydrocarbons with carbon tetrafluoride leads to polymerization. A mixture of argon, carbon tetrafluoride, and carbon dioxide shows low aging in high hadron flux.[1]
Effects on liquids[edit]
Like gases, liquids lack fixed internal structure; the effects of radiation is therefore mainly limited to radiolysis, altering the chemical composition of the liquids. As with gases, one of the primary mechanisms is formation of free radicals.
All liquids are subject to radiation damage, with few exotic exceptions; e.g. molten sodium, where there are no chemical bonds to be disrupted, and liquid hydrogen fluoride, which produces gaseous hydrogen and fluorine, which spontaneously react back to hydrogen fluoride.
Effects on water[edit]
Water subjected to ionizing radiation forms free radicals of hydrogen and hydroxyl, which can recombine to form gaseous hydrogen, oxygen, hydrogen peroxide, hydroxyl radicals, and peroxide radicals. In living organisms, which are composed mostly of water, majority of the damage is caused by the reactive oxygen species, free radicals produced from water. The free radicals attack the biomolecules forming structures within the cells, causing oxidative stress (a cumulative damage which may be significant enough to cause the cell death, or may cause DNA damage possibly leading to cancer).
In cooling systems of nuclear reactors, the formation of free oxygen would promote corrosion and is counteracted by addition of hydrogen to the cooling water.[2] The hydrogen is not consumed as for each molecule reacting with oxygen one molecule is liberated by radiolysis of water; the excess hydrogen just serves to shift the reaction equilibriums by providing the initial hydrogen radicals. The reducing environment in pressurized water reactors is less prone to buildup of oxidative species. The chemistry of boiling water reactor coolant is more complex, as the environment can be oxidizing. Most of the radiolytic activity occurs in the core of the reactor where the neutron flux is highest; the bulk of energy is deposited in water from fast neutrons and gamma radiation, the contribution of thermal neutrons is much lower. In air-free water, the concentration of hydrogen, oxygen, and hydrogen peroxide reaches steady state at about 200 Gy of radiation. In presence of dissolved oxygen, the reactions continue until the oxygen is consumed and the equilibrium is shifted. Neutron activation of water leads to buildup of low concentrations of nitrogen species; due to the oxidizing effects of the reactive oxygen species, these tend to be present in the form of nitrate anions. In reducing environments, ammonia may be formed. Ammonia ions may be however also subsequently oxidized to nitrates. Other species present in the coolant water are the oxidized corrosion products (e.g. chromates) and fission products (e.g. pertechnetate and periodate anions, uranyl and neptunyl cations).[3] Absorption of neutrons in hydrogen nuclei leads to buildup of deuterium and tritium in the water. Behavior of supercritical water, important for the supercritical water reactors, differs from the radiochemical behavior of liquid water and steam and is currently under investigation.[4]
The magnitude of the effects of radiation on water is dependent on the type and energy of the radiation, namely its linear energy transfer. A gas-free water subjected to low-LET gamma rays yields almost no radiolysis products and sustains an equilibrium with their low concentration. High-LET alpha radiation produces larger amounts of radiolysis products. In presence of dissolved oxygen, radiolysis always occurs. Dissolved hydrogen completely suppresses radiolysis by low-LET radiation while radiolysis still occurs with
The presence of reactive oxygen species has strongly disruptive effect on dissolved organic chemicals. This is exploited in groundwater remediation by electron beam treatment.[5]
Two main approaches to reduce radiation damage are reducing the amount of energy deposited in the sensitive material (e.g. by shielding, distance from the source, or spatial orientation), or modification of the material to be less sensitive to radiation damage (e.g. by adding antioxidants, stabilizers, or choosing a more suitable material). In addition to the electronic device hardening mentioned above, some degree of protection may be obtained by shielding, usually with the interposition of high density materials (particularly lead, where space is critical, or concrete where space is available) between the radiation source and areas to be protected. For biological effects of substances such as radioactive iodine the ingestion of non-radioactive isotopes may substantially reduce the biological uptake of the radioactive form, and chelation therapy may be applied to accelerate the removal of radioactive materials formed from heavy metals from the body by natural processes.

Santa Claus and his helpers will begin their annual trek through Symmes Township neighborhoods on Wednesday, December 5th from 5:00 - 8:30 p.m. As tradition dictates, they will arrive via a shiny, red fire truck and pass out treats to children.
In the spirit of the giving season, they hope that residents will help them fill Santa's bag back up with donations to the Marine Toys for Tots program. This worthy campaign collects new, unwrapped toys or cash gifts for less fortunate children. Anyone interested in making a toy or cash donation may give it to Santa or one of his helpers as they travel through the Township or they can drop it off at the Township office by December 6th. Checks should be made payable to the "Marine Toys for Tots Foundation."

How do I fix the picture on my other TV? it's gone fuzzy recently, the main TV is fine.
Solved! Go to the solution
on 17-09-2012 08:08 PM
Hi skystan,
I'm guessing you have your second TV set connected with an aerial or RF cable. If you are using something else such as a wireless video sender it may be best to check with the manufacturer.
The first thing to try is to retune the TV to pick up Sky. If you are not sure how to do this check the instruction manual or contact the manufacturer. If you post the make and model number on our forums we may be able to point you in the right direction.
If this doesn't help turn all the equipment off at the mains and check all the connection between the back of your set top box and the TV are secure. If you have any amplifiers or splitters check the instructions which came with these to ensure they are set up correctly.
If you still have problems then you may need to adjust the RF channel number, or frequency, the set top box is using to transmit the TV picture through the cabling to your second TV.
First of all check the handy tools available here and here to find out which RF channels your local transmitter(s) use. Please note that these tools were created and are maintained by an altruistic third party and not by Sky. It's also useful if you know what frequency any other equipment such as video recorders are using although not essential.
Access the installer setup menu on your set top box then navigate to RF out and enter a new RF channel number between 21 and 69. Try to stay 3 channels away from terrestrial transmissions or other equipment such as video recorders. You will lose the picture on the second TV, and any others connected by aerial cable, at this point. Retune the TV using the manufacturers instructions. If the picture is better save the setting. If not try another RF channel number.
I hope this helps but if not let us know on our forums and we will try to help further?

I'm loving the bedroom ideas that I'm finding and can't believe the talent some people possess. This may be out of your price range to create a room like this but I hope that it will give you some inspiration for your boy's room if he is into Pirates. The six year old boy that owns this room is one lucky Pirate. I just wonder what the owners will do if they want to sell their house. The new owners may have girls….

Strict Mature Woman Gives Naughty Girls Cane Spanking Punishment
Download The Full Length Movie
Some of these schoolgirls will never learn to be on their best behavior.
That's why they're going to have to get otk spankings over and over again, in continued attempts to correct them.
This woman is not afraid to handle a whole bunch of naughty girls all at once. She's dealing with three of them at a time in this spanking video.
One by one, she takes the girls over her lap and spanks their buttocks with her bare hand.
The other two stand there watching how their girlfriend is being given spanking punishment. They don't have the nerve to say anything about it.
To finish the punishment off, the girls get a cane spanking. On their buttocks as well as on the palms of their hands.
I loved seeing these girls getting spanked to tears.

Loss of the nuclear hormone receptor hepatocyte nuclear factor 4alpha (HNF4alpha) in hepatocytes results in a complex pleiotropic phenotype that includes a block in hepatocyte differentiation and a severe disruption to liver function. Recent analyses have shown that hepatic gene expression is severely affected by the absence of HNF4alpha, with expression of 567 genes reduced by > or =2.5-fold (P < or = 0.05) in Hnf4alpha(-/-) fetal livers. Although many of these genes are direct targets, HNF4alpha has also been shown to regulate expression of other liver transcription factors, and this raises the possibility that the dependence on HNF4alpha for normal expression of some genes may be indirect. We postulated that the identification of transcription factors whose expression is regulated by HNF4alpha might reveal roles for HNF4alpha in controlling hepatic functions that were not previously appreciated. Here we identify cyclic adenosine monophosphate responsive element binding protein H (CrebH) as a transcription factor whose messenger RNA can be identified in both the embryonic mouse liver and adult mouse liver and whose expression is dependent on HNF4alpha. Analyses of genomic DNA revealed an HNF4alpha binding site upstream of the CrebH coding sequence that was occupied by HNF4alpha in fetal livers and facilitated transcriptional activation of a reporter gene in transient transfection analyses. Although CrebH is highly expressed during hepatogenesis, CrebH(-/-) mice were viable and healthy and displayed no overt defects in liver formation. However, upon treatment with tunicamycin, which induces an endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-stress response, CrebH(-/-) mice displayed reduced expression of acute phase response proteins. CONCLUSION: These data implicate HNF4alpha in having a role in controlling the acute phase response of the liver induced by ER stress by regulating expression of CrebH.

Paralegal Education Requirements in West Virginia
Follow the step by step process on how to become a paralegal below:
- Undertake Paralegal Education in West Virginia
- Obtain Paralegal Work Experience in West Virginia
- Become a Certified Paralegal in West Virginia, if Desired
- Land a Paralegal Job in West Virginia
- Now That You're a Paralegal in West Virginia
Paralegal Career Information in West Virginia
WORKFORCE West Virginia predicts that between 2010 and 2020, jobs for paralegals and legal assistants in the state will increase by 62 each year, or at a rate of 1.34 annually. This is great news for anyone wishing to learn how to become a paralegal in West Virginia. Legal assistants and paralegals in West Virginia currently average a yearly salary of $39,990, per the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States Department of Labor. This salary will surely increase over the next decade as the demand for paralegals in West Virginia increases as well.
Step 1 |
Undertake Paralegal Education in West Virginia |
West Virginia has yet to mandate education for paralegals. The West Virginia Legislature proposed in 2010 a bill entitled the "Certified Legal Assistant Act," which would set educational and other standards for paralegals in West Virginia. Although the bill did not pass, some employers in the state are using its criteria when making hiring decisions for paralegals and legal assistants in West Virginia. In order to qualify for Certified Legal Assistant status under this bill, you must meet one of the following criteria:
- Graduate from an American Bar Association (ABA) approved paralegal program
- Graduate from a non-ABA-approved paralegal program at an accredited institution, consisting of 60 semester hours of study
- Graduate from another paralegal program and have six months of on-the-job paralegal training
- Pass a certification exam given by the National Association of Legal Assistants (NALA) to become a Certified Paralegal (CP) (See step 3 below)
- Show though life experience and employment that you should be given the title of Certified Legal Assistant in West Virginia
West Virginia Paralegal Online and Campus Schools
There is currently one ABA-approved West Virginia paralegal program:
- Mountwest Community and Technical College – Huntington
- Associate in Applied Science Degree in Paralegal
Step 2 |
Obtain Paralegal Work Experience in West Virginia |
If you need to accrue more paralegal work experience than what your paralegal education program in West Virginia offers, you might want to contact a Legal Aid or Legal Assistance agency. These agencies work with low income West Virginians who are in need of legal help, and often welcome the assistance of a paralegal student or aspiring paralegal. They include:
- Legal Aid of West Virginia, Inc. – Charleston, with offices in:
- Beckley
- Huntington
- Martinsburg
- Parkersburg
- Princeton
- Westover
- Legal Help for West Virginians – Morgantown
- West Virginia Legal Services Plan – Wheeling and Morgantown
- West Virginia Senior Legal Aid, Inc. – Morgantown
- West Virginia Legal Service Plan – Lewisburg and Clarksburg
- Mountain State Justice – Charleston
- Legal Aid Society of Charleston Private Bar Involvement Project - Charleston
Step 3 |
Become a Certified Paralegal in West Virginia, if Desired |
As mentioned in Step 1 above, one way to fulfill the proposed paralegal standards of the West Virginia Legislature is to become a Certified Paralegal through the National Association of Legal Assistants, Inc. (NALA). This involves passing an examination that will test your knowledge of substantive legal issues, the American legal system, civil law, contracts, business organizations, legal research, ethics, communications and your judgment and analytical ability. Passing this national exam allows you to use the credentials CP (Certified Paralegal).
Step 4 |
Land a Paralegal Job in West Virginia |
Paralegals find jobs in West Virginia corporations, businesses, educational institutions, law firms, nonprofit organizations, government agencies and more. Some paralegal employers in West Virginia include:
- Steptoe & Johnson, PLLC – Morgantown
- Manchin Injury Law Group, PLLC- Fairmont
- Shuman, McCuskey and Slicer, PLLC – Charleston
- State of West Virginia- Kanawha County
- Dinsmore & Shohl – Westover
- Bowles Rice LLP – Morgantown
- WesBanco Bank, Inc. – West Side
- Genesis HealthCare –Marlinton
- Donaldson & James - Core
Step 5 |
Now That You're a Paralegal in West Virginia |
Kudos to you! You have studied hard, worked hard and this dedication and hard work has been rewarded with a paralegal job in West Virginia! Now, you should think about joining a membership organization consisting of paralegals and/or other legal professionals in West Virginia, such as:
- West Virginia State Bar Committee on Legal Assistants
- Legal Assistants/Paralegals of Southern West Virginia
- Defense Trial Counsel of West Virginia- Legal Assistants Section

I think I'm losing my three clivia plants. The leaves are turning yellow on all three plants. They are planted in the ground and get morning sun. Could it be from not enough water? I water them every three or four days. We have had very low humidity for the last couple of weeks, and high temps close to 90. I don't want to lose them. |

How long have they been in their current location? What are the soil/general conditions like? --Rr |
- Posted by ima_digger 9 SE FL (My Page) on Mon, May 26, 08 at 19:03
The clivia have been in the ground for about 4 months. They were OK until about three weeks ago. The soil is kind of sandy and I mixed in Hyponex potting soil into the ground before planting. It has been quite hot here, in the high 80s. Could it be that they need more water? I'm afrain of over-watering. I have two more that are in pots on my rear patio. They are under roof, get no sun, and are watered once a week. They are doing fine. On one plant I have 5 seed pods. The other one has one seed pod. I haven't put them in ground because of the seed pods. I didn't want to lose them. |
How hot is the morning sun on them? Are the yellow spots still soft or are they drying out as well. Im not a clivia expert by any means but if they are soft and yellow I would think over watering, but if they are drying out and yellow I would think to much sun. thats just my best guess though. Good luck with them! |

Being in CT, all my clivias are in pots, so perhaps a southern gardener will be able to offer you better advice. I would look at the Ph and drainage of your soil, as well as the level of light that the plants are getting. If they are in bright light, consider moving them to a shady spot. You might also try an acidic medium of peat moss and perlite, but don't let it get too dry. (Is that possible in FL?) Let us know how you make out with these! --Rr |
- Posted by meyermike_1micha (My Page) on Mon, Sep 22, 08 at 18:39
I would take them out of the ground and check the roots for rot. If there is rotted roots, to much water and not enough loose soil for drainage for them.They have tubuler roots which can retain moister for days. If you keep them wet too long, they swell up and bust, even rot very easily. you can water them as if you water a cactus. Even cactus die too if you let their roots get beyond the dry point though. Also you will know if they are to dry, because the roots will look shrunk. Did you know that in the wild, they grow under a canopy of trees in Africa, only in the top layer of molded leaves and decomposing stuff. Very light, mulchy, fast draining soil. They grow like weeds out there and all they get for sun is speckled light under trees. Once you take them out of the soil, wash the roots off, pull off dead roots, then plant them in good pots, in a really good light and airy soil, then you can bury the pots in the yard soil and have better control of the plant within the pot. You can feed them better, have better control of watering, and put them anywhere you want, as long as you do not put them in the hot sun. You said they are in morning sun right? Up to what time though? In the south, the sun can be scouldering at 9am. |

I suspect that you are watering them too much. I have several in the sandy ground along the shady side of the house; they are sold here as good for dry shade. I water them only infrequently, maybe once every 2-3 weeks. They do get some roof-drip if it's foggy, and as well a short blast of sun in the afternoon, but they look really good, except for the nibbles of an unidentified animal. |

Clivia have tubular roots which are know fior holding lots of water. If you water to frequent, they just burst..Fyi...Then rot |

Hi, Which leaves are yellowing? If it is a couple of the outer leaves, it can be due to transplant shock and is not a big deal. If the leaves are all lighter or yellowing, then it is either root rot, no nutrients or too much light. In outdoor soil, the nutrients are generally there. They tolerate a wide range of soil types, pH, and watering. They also tolerate a wide range of temperatures and humidty. They only really do poorly in direct light, temps below 20-25F or sustained over 110-115F, and overwatering. They can grow in sand as long as they get an occasional blast of nutrient containing water a couple times a year. They won't thrive, but they will survive. Mike's suggestion was perfect. Look at the roots. If they are all soft and brown, clean with a sharp knife, dust with roottone+antifungal powder and pot it up in sand for 2-4 months with occasional water this winter. You will be pleasantly surprised in the spring. GOod luck. Craig |

ROBERTS — A year ago, Roberts School Superintendent Jeff Bermes was grasping for straws.
The district had watched its power bill jump 50 to 60 percent. The spike came on the heels of a cold December that was exacerbated when Beartooth Electric Cooperative raised rates, increased its base charge and added a surcharge to cover costs associated with the proposed Highwood Generating Station.
Faced with the long-term prospect of higher electric bills, Bermes wondered where the district could shave its energy use.
"What do you cut and still provide the opportunities for the kids?" he asked.
Twelve months later, Bermes reports that the district's power bills dropped to near pre-rate-hike levels and seem to be holding steady. But that's after the school invested $165,000 in energy-efficient improvements.
Changes in lighting alone came to $40,000, he said.
More than half of the money came in grants, including one from Beartooth Electric Cooperative, and roughly $64,000 in federal stimulus funds. For the most part, the changes were modest fixes made on a fairly large scale: new light fixtures and bulbs throughout the building, programmable thermostats, timers for lights, a new furnace, some new windows and better insulation in some exterior walls.
"We've made all the improvements for efficiency," he said. "But I can't really say if we've gained or lost."
Because weather conditions vary from one year to the next, it's difficult to measure the impact of the upgrades. But assuming current charges are similar to what they were leading up to last January, it's likely the district's facility is 20-30 percent more efficient.
"If not for the grants, we'd be seeing some pretty high bills," Bermes said. "We're much more efficient today than we were last year at this time."
Making adjustments
Across the highway, Ron and Roxie Melton, owners of the Y-Stop convenience store are still haunted by the power surcharge that hit them last January.
"We're still trying to catch up," Roxie said. "We're behind."
The Y-Stop's bill hit $1,233 last January — roughly twice what it had been. By February, Beartooth Cooperative had slashed the surcharge in half and by November had discontinued it entirely. Since then, Roxie said, their monthly bill has dropped back to the $600 to $700 range, which she's able to cover. But, she still struggles to make back payments on last spring's high bills.
In the meantime, the couple has made some energy-saving changes.
The Meltons came to Montana from Georgia, where they'd spent their careers working for Georgia Power. That's why, even long before Beartooth's rates shot up, they'd made the switch to high-efficiency light bulbs.
"For us, that was the norm," she said.
The rate hike, however, prompted them to reevaluate their business. When their main freezer went out, they didn't replace it. Instead, they dropped a few items from their inventory and consolidated into a smaller one. Their vendors, too, helped them replace older models, like their ice cream bunker, with more efficient ones.
"It's been very difficult," Roxie said. "The transition year has been an expensive one."
The situation also prompted Roxie, an outspoken critic of Beartooth's support for the proposed Highwood Generating Station, to consider running for a position on Beartooth's board of directors. Then she discovered that their property was on the wrong side of the road, just yards from the boundary of the district that had a seat up for election.
"I couldn't run then," she said. "But I can next time."
'Little weird lights'
Neighbor Judy Strobbe got by this past year by keeping better track of her energy usage. Strobbe lives on her Social Security check, so she was hard-pressed to cover the extra $20 charged to her last January. But she did what she could.
"I managed to get those little weird lights," she said, referring to fluorescent bulbs. "And basically, when I'm not using something, it's unplugged."
She also makes sure to turn off the lights when they're not in use.
Strobbe heats with natural gas and has relied on help through the LIEAP (low-income energy assistance program) but she hasn't sought assistance for her electricity bill.
"So far — knock on wood — I've managed to keep my lights on," she said.
Quitting the grid
In the hills to the east of Columbus, Dot and Rick Gallager adjusted to the rate increase by quitting the grid and leaving the co-op. Last summer, they spent tens of thousands of dollars installing 36 solar voltaic panels and three tons of batteries. As backup, they incorporated a natural gas generator — NorthWestern Energy supplies natural gas to the area, but not electricity — that would produce electricity during extended cloudy periods.
During the short, cold days of December, the generator was kicking on for an hour or so every day. As the days lengthened and the sun has come out, it has not been so frequent.
"It's been three days now since it's kicked on," Dot said. "It (gas-generated electricity) is definitely a much smaller part of our energy mix than our overall electricity usage in the past."
Going off the grid was an expensive process, but Rick said they are glad not to be dealing with the politics of the co-op. The Gallagers, too, oppose Beartooth's involvement in the Highwood plant.
The Gallagers realize the drastic step they took is not for everyone, but there are less expensive ways to conserve, they point out.
"Obviously, the best thing you can do is go for the low-hanging fruit first — insulation, blocking holes," Dot said. "It happened we have a very energy-efficient house. To improve our usage, we had to do something extreme."
Although the Gallagers welcome any tax credits they might get for investing in renewable energy, they didn't install their system with the prospect of breaking even.
"I've always had a dream of being more self-sufficient," Dot said. "And it particularly makes sense in this climate. We know what our energy will cost going forward."

Many Americans today are quickly learning to become more frugal, and much smarter when it comes to lifestyle choices. Many extended family members are living together more often, and most are finding that larger palatial homes are just too costly to heat and cool… not to mention the rising construction costs for a custom home.
As a Log Home Builder for many years… I have begun to see a serious and increasing market trend for those wanting to build a small, sometimes very small log cabin, and very happy with that decision.
Why are Small Log Homes becoming so popular these days?
The answer is actually quite simple…. Freedom! What does "freedom" mean as it relates to living in a small log cabin? Well… just that many are discovering they actually enjoy the open, vaulted, environment of a smaller home and they are not as confined as they were in a smaller stick-frame home. Small Log Homes offer the natural charm of rustic wood, resembling a mountain or lake lodge that they have spent some of most treasured moments in … and they can enjoy this setting for life!
The lower cost of building a Small Log Home, as well as the lower cost to heat and cool their cabin, makes a perfect way to downsize without giving up your dream of log home ownership.
Why size are typical Small Log Homes?
We specialize in Small Log Homes of 1000 sq. ft. or less… at very affordable pricing. We can offer you one of our pre-built cabins and deliver a small log home shell kit to you in most cases under 8 weeks … ready to start finishing in just a few days after delivery. Add a basement or a loft and increase your living space while keeping your foot print smaller. Many folks live in Small Log Homes of under 500 sq. ft. on the main floor.
This is FREEDOM!… Just build your foundation or basement ahead of time and we will deliver it and set it down on your permanent foundation. Pick out one of our floor plans or send us your idea of a floor plan… and we will simply build you a cost effective log cabin shell, and after we re-set it on your foundation sub-floor, you can begin to finish it yourself, and save a ton of money! Our shell packages start at just 21.oo per sq. ft.
Take a look at our selection of Floor Plans for Small Log Homes, and Contact Us to request a quote for your ideal small cabin.

Have a cool photo you want to share?

Bootloader with MCE Remote Control?
One thing I'd love is to be able to use a bootloader that recognizes my Microsoft MCE Remote Control. These are the ones with the Generic IR USB receiver that work amazingly well once Linux is booted.

Thanks for your time!
