conservationcape town celebrates world wetlands daySubmitted by incoming on Thu, 2012-02-02 08:59
In celebration of World Wetlands Day, the City of Cape Town will be hosting various wetland education programmes as part of its Youth Environmental School (YES) programme during February 2012. World Wetlands Day is held every year on 2 February and marks the signing of the International Convention on Wetlands of International Importance (the Ramsar Convention) on 2 February 1971. World Wetlands Day was celebrated for the first time in 1997 and since then, events and activities are held world-wide in February each year to raise awareness of wetland values and benefits. Ramsar is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year. To date, the City of Cape Town has set aside over ( categories: )

leaving only footprintsSubmitted by sproutingforth on Tue, 2012-01-17 13:58
We do one of 5 new trails in the Cape West Coast Biosphere After another average week, similar to the one most of us experience – rush, dash, hare down the road, swerve round that corner, beat that deadline, race to fetch/buy/get – the drive out to Paternoster did little to relax me. The sun beat down on us, as we drove towards the slowly setting star that is the source of our energy, and the traffic was, well, it was Friday traffic, need I say more? But as we strolled down onto the beach in Paternoster and I felt the sand between my toes – no watch, cell phone or child (he's been left safely with relatives) to distract me, bar the camera I hold in an attempt to capture the moment – it is as if I sink into a comfy and well-worn sofa.

Michigan Stadium Tickets
Events at Michigan Stadium
Friday, TBD
Michigan Stadium
Seating in Michigan Stadium in the fall is incredible. With all the places to choose from on the college football scene Michigan Stadium has established itself as a premiere destination year after year. Let's take a look at a few facts:
1) The seating chart of Michigan Stadium is designed to hold 107,501 fans. Throw in the teams, the cheerleaders, and other assorted crew members and you find yourself looking at place where 112,118 fans took their seats to see Michigan take on Ohio State in 2003. That's an NCAA record. The crowd is so large that it threatens to eclipse the total population of Ann Arbor where the stadium is located.
2) There's an extra seat floating around somewhere, reserved by then coach Floyd Crisler for the athletic director. Hence the "1" in the official seating capacity.
3) In the future the seating capacity may be expanded. Michigan Stadium was designed with expansion in mind. Seating has already grown from an initial 72,000
Despite all this the best thing about seating in Michigan Stadium is the atmosphere of big time college football. The Wolverines are one of the games top teams and have as rich a history as any college team in the country. Obviously, they also have some of the biggest fans in the country, fans eager to pack the seats of Michigan Stadium year in and year out. Find out what it's all about with Michigan Wolverines tickets from GoTickets.com.

Arterial insufficiency of the upper extremity with special reference to Takayasu's arteritis and Buerger's disease. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 6123515 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
The occlusive arterial lesions of the upper extremity in Takayasu's arteritis is estimated in 72.3% in the left and in 45.6% in the right subclavian arteries, respectively. Buerger's disease also involves the arteries distal to the elbow and the digital arteries in about 22% of total cases. In Takayasu's arteritis, the surgical treatment for the upper extremity ischemia is rarely indicated, except for the cases with aneurysm, because the occlusive lesion involves exclusively the aorta and its branches, and severe ischemia of the upper digital arteries in Buerger's disease frequently causes severe ischemic symptoms of hand and fingers, such as rest pain, trophic changes and tissue loss. Therefore, the surgical treatment, including upper thoracic sympathectomy and amputation, is mandatory in some cases. |

BRITISH JOURNAL OF CANCER, 88 (6). pp. 895-901. [Journal article]
Full text not available from this repository.
The alkaline single-cell gel electrophoresis or comet assay is a relatively simple method of measuring DNA single-strand breaks and alkali-labile sites in individual cells. Previously, we have used a combination of this with bromodeoxyuridine labelling of DNA and immunolocalisation of the BrdUrd to show that DNA replicative integrity can be assessed in single cultured cells. This study demonstrates the application of the technique to single cells derived from small human colonic biopsies isolated at routine endoscopy. A high level of reproducibility within replicate comet slides and between comet slides prepared from various colonic sites within a single patient is shown. Preliminary results demonstrate that defects in replication can be detected in tumour and premalignant colonic tissue adjacent to the tumour, suggesting that alterations in replicative integrity are an early event in neoplasia, appearing in premalignant mucosal cells. This development deems the BrdUrd comet assay suitable as an ex vivo molecular end point that can be measured easily in tissue collected by biopsy at routine colonic endoscopy. Thus, the BrdUrd comet assay has the potential to facilitate trial investigations of diet- or environment-related factors that may affect replicative integrity in the colon and provides a novel biomarker for colon carcinogenesis.

Select Industry
The DuPont™ Teflon® AF family of amorphous fluoroplastics excels in a wide range of innovative areas. Developmental applications are currently under evaluation for optical fiber cladding, photolithography, and as an electronic dielectric for the next generation of high-speed computer circuits. Learn more about Teflon® AF application opportunities from these Case Studies:
Optical Materials
The properties of Teflon® AF, including optical clarity, low refractive index, and exceptional UV stability and UV transmission capability, make it an ideal candidate for optical devices for medicine, military, and aerospace industry. Teflon® AF amorphous fluoroplastics can function as a clear coating for optical devices requiring a low refractive index and yet perform in aggressive chemical environments over a wide range of use temperatures and light waves (UV-IR)-performance with clarity. Possible applications include lens covers for microwave, radar and optical devices; optical cladding; optoelectronic devices; UV cells and windows; passivation and protective coatings; and anti-reflective coatings for optical devices.
Semiconductors and Processing Materials
Pure and chemically inert, Teflon® AF is well-suited for semiconductor processing materials. Teflon® AF also offers the benefits of good dimensional stability, reduced mold shrinkage, a smooth surface, and rigidity at high-use temperatures. Also, as the drive for higher data transmission and processing speed increases and the size of integrated circuits shrinks, Teflon® AF can provide the critical electrical properties for the next generation of computer chips.
Dielectric Materials
Teflon® AF has the lowest known dielectric constant (1.89-1.93) of any plastic material. It is being evaluated as a dielectric for high-density and hybrid integrated circuits. It also possesses a low dielectric constant even at gigahertz frequencies, a low dissipation factor, low moisture sensitivity, good dimensional stability, and a high Tg. And, because of its mechanical stiffness, Teflon® AF is easy to mold and spin cast, important factors for dielectric materials. Applications may also exist for passivation layers and for encapsulation for hybrid/sandwich integrated circuit packaging.
Release Materials
Low surface-free energy, low moisture absorption, and solution coating capability combine to make Teflon® AF suitable as a coating or film for release materials. And the ability to produce very thin coatings in the micron level allows Teflon® AF to be used as a release coating for other substrates to render them non-stick surfaces.
Specialized Chemical/Industrial Materials
The Teflon® AF family of amorphous fluoroplastics is stiff, creep-resistant, and inert to chemical attack. Teflon® AF can be fabricated into thin films and coatings and smooth-surfaced products, and also molded into high-performance mechanical parts that can function in severe exposure conditions of high temperature, chemicals, and destructive environmental agents. These characteristics provide processors exceptional flexibility and make Teflon® AF an excellent candidate for the demanding and stringent conditions that exist in the military and the electronic, chemical, and aerospace industries.
Fiber Optics
Teflon® AF is well-suited for fiber optics applications because of its low refractive index and exceptional optical clarity throughout the range from ultraviolet into infrared wavelengths. DuPont has an exclusive agreement with Mitsubishi Rayon Co., Ltd. for the development of high-temperature optical fibers. Mitsubishi Rayon Co., Ltd. markets their products under the trademark "ESKA."
Integrated Optics
Because of the optical and electrical properties of Teflon® AF, opportunities exist for the material to function in transmitting and sensing data for integrated optics systems.
Biomedical Materials
Teflon® AF can be solution coated onto other substrates to enhance biocompatibility for optical sensing and diagnostic applications. Initial evaluations indicate possibilities for use as potential separation media for gases and liquids.
Other Applications
Teflon® AF may be an appropriate replacement for corrosion-resistant coatings for electronics or replacement of current technology in other high-tech applications. Consider Teflon® AF for high-permeability membrane applications for gas separation. In addition to the applications described here, DuPont is actively investigating other ways that Teflon® AF can meet today's and tomorrow's material challenges. DuPont will also consider development activities to help you meet specific needs or develop new applications for future markets. How many ways can you think of to use Teflon® AF? The potential applications are limitless-and so are the opportunities. To find out how Teflon® AF can solve your most difficult requirements or to learn about performance features, contact us. CAUTION: Do not use in medical applications involving permanent implantation in the human body. For other medical applications, refer to the DuPont Medical Caution Statement.

Tube power supply and hot regulators
I have a power supply PCB from Lite Audio called LS-57. It has an adjustable HV regulated supply and two low voltage output which can be used for heater supplies.
I have tried to attach the schematic, hope it shows. I'm using this pcb to power my first DIY project which is a tube I/V stage for a DAC. The tube stage is a Broskie Unbalancer and I've use 6SN7 tubes. Everything seems to work and I'm pleased with the result but have some concerns: 1. The heater regulators get seriously hot - I measured the heatsinks at 95deg C (203F). The regulators are LM317 and I am running with 6.3V with heaters wired in parallel. There are four tubes in total. Hater current is said to be 0.6A per tube and I'm using one of the LM317s per channel so powering two tubes = 1.2A. I initially ran the heaters at 12.6V series but read that that is wrong for 6SN7 so reverted back to parallel 6V. Regs ran much cooler with 12.6V. I'm not sure if I have damaged the tubes by running for about 6hours at 12V but mainly concerned the regulators are too hot presently - Please could someone advise if this is normal/dangerous/need bigger sinks? 2. Second issue is that the 6X4 tube used for rectification is followed by a 180uF cap, and I read that maximum value of capacitance following that rectifier is about 16uF. Is this a problem - should I replace with lower value? 3. From what I read chokes are good in valve power supplies, is there a way I can implement a choke in here (replace R1?) or is there no point in a regulated supply? 4. I added 200uF at output of HV for each channel is that a good idea or should these be removed or would increasing further provide any benefits? Hope someone can help. Thanks |

Those large electrolytics at the output of the HV supply may destroy the rectifier and/or 6BQ5/EL84 over time, (a single arcing event will do it immediately) I'd not go with more than 40uF on the output.
Yes you can replace R1 with a 5 - 10H choke and achieve a large reduction in output ripple. I'm not sure who told you that a pair 6SN7 can't be wired in series for 12.6V operation, but the other option might be to get some 12SN7 instead, they're much less popular and some fairly exotic ones can be had for much less money than the 6.3V variant.

Thanks for the reply Kevin.
Ok I will look to replace C1 with smaller value cap. Does this apply to C2 as well, or if I replace R1 with a choke can I keep C2 as is? Regarding the hot heater regulators, would you consider 95deg as too hot - presumably their life will be short too? Would I be better off running at 12.6? I had hoped to power all the heaters from one regulator but after seeing the heat I thought I should spread the load over both heater regulators. It would be handy to use the other to power the source components. Also is it good or bad to add additional caps after the HV output is there a maximum value or would the value installed have been calculated for optimum performance? Presently it's a 47uF? |

You should use heatsinks on the regulators if your not allready useing them .... depending on your starting DC voltage you would dissapate less heat with 12.6v as opposed to 6.3v .... if your input AC heater voltage is 12.6v AC that would give you about 17v DC which would cause less heat with 12.6v AC than 6.3v AC ......

I am going to adjust it back to 12.6V as you recommend. I'm still not quite clear about the caps, I should have been clearer- I mentioned large caps (that came as part of the power supply) on output after 6X4 rectifier (C1 & C2) and also ones I added after the final output (after C3). So should I reduce value of C1 & C2, or just C1 if I add a choke in place of R1? ...and should I remove the capacitors I added on the final output too (additional 400uF total)? |

Remember that you will have to run the heaters in series not paralell with 12.6v DC , I would leave the caps alone and try it at 12.6v DC and see if it solves the overheating problem ...... it should dissapate considerably less heat as when running at 12.6v dc ....

Unless you like cooking your 6BQ5 due to extremely excessive inrush current I'd recommend removing most of the output capacitance you added - if the regulator is doing its job they are not contributing much in the way of noise reduction and they really over-stress the pass element (6BQ5) during warm up.
My previous comment I thought was relatively clear..

Thanks guys. Yes will run heaters in series.
Kevin, your comment would probably be perfectly clear to a non-noob. I wasn't sure if you were referring to C1 & C2 after the rectifier or my ones after the output. So can leave C1 & C2 be? |

Hi Bud,
I think C1 should be no more than 10uF based on the data sheets I have, apparently the designer of this board was not too concerned about exceeding the inrush and peak current rating of the rectifier. C2 can remain at 220uF with the addition of the choke ahead of it.

Thanks for clarifying - perfectly clear now.
I just found a thread where someone questioned the same issue about the cap following the rectifier, and Kevin I see you responded the same -you must be the power supply man! While the power supply isn't identical it looks very very similar. And recommendations were made to increase equivalent of R3 by factor of 10 and increase C4 to something around 0.047uF. Would these modifications be good here while I'm at it, or anything else I should consider? |

Singapore Idol auditions
I went down to *scape at 8am... and what a sight greeted me! Hundreds upon hundreds upon hundreds of Idol hopefuls! They queued in a barricaded area standing on nothing more than plywood boards. The line snaked left-to-right and right-to-left about 20 times. Almost everyone looked like they were in their teens, though I spotted a few young adults too. Those who were at the front of the queue held on to their Singapore Idol "survival kit" (comprising of T-shirt, poster, water, etc.) (with a huge Channel 5 logo on it).
How long was the queue? It stretched all the way up to the junction of Orchard Link and Grange Road. Yup, where the ERP gantry stands. (Map)
On the cement walkway stood the friends, family and supporters. Most of them were young too, though there were a few parents and families. Oh, and it was filled with smokers too. Yuck.
The host, Gurmit Singh, showed up at about 8:15am. His first task was to film the crowd shouting "Singapore Idol!" Then he gave a short introduction, before filming another segment, ending again with the shouting crowd. His co-host, Daniel Ong, showed up too, and they went about their grooming and stuff. Later, Gurmit gave a briefing about what would happen once it began. He and Daniel also chatted with the first two hopefuls in line.
For the rest of the time, nothing much happened, and Daniel kept saying drivel like "We'll begin in just a short moment" and "We're just minutes away". The crowd basically booed at him whenever he said that. Gurmit saved the day by saying that previous Singapore Idols, namely Taufik Batisah and Sylvester Sim, had also waited hours in line, so everyone should just be patient and befriend the people nearby. Because you never know, that person might be the next Singapore Idol.
You know, usual pep talk.
At 9am, it was finally time to begin. And as luck would have it, there was another event going on at the Youth Park just across the road. And the MC's microphone volume was loud enough to interfere with the Singapore Idol side of things. So Gurmit and Daniel had to wait a moment for that side to die down before counting down.
Aside: the other event was a inter-tertiary institution (universities, polytechnics) round-the-island treasure hunt.
A brief spiel, 10, 9, 8, etc, blow air-horn, and the Idol hopefuls rushed forward... only to be stopped by a crewman. I couldn't hear what he said, but from his gesture, I think he meant "10 at a time!" The first group was led to a covered area next to Cineleisure, where I presume they confirmed their application and identity. And then it would be the audition, but I wouldn't know anything about it since it's a restricted area.
I walked to the end of the line, just to see how incredible this phenomenon was. Even at that time, more people were joining the queue. And the view from Grange Road/Orchard Link was simply astounding. So many people, eager to clinch the dream of becoming a pop star.
It is indeed a mania, and it has begun anew.

Praise for Ann Budd's previous title, "Sock Knitting Master Class" ..".the patterns! Beautiful, yet functional stitch designs and fun colors. This is a complete book." - "CraftGossip.com" "Some features I particularly like in the book: each pattern has a box listing the different techniques used in the pattern; An overview of different styles of creating parts of the sock, such as a few different heel types, toes, and cuff treatments; both top-down and toe-up construction techniques; a handy DVD in the back. If you are looking for some great new sock patterns or just looking to get started knitting socks, this book is sure to have what you need." - "A Woolie Tale yarn shop" "You think you already know everything there is to know about socks? After all, there are a multitude of sock books on the market these days, perfectly good books. You know everything. Except...do you really? Most (though not all) sock books I own are either filled with patterns with not a whole lot of time spent on technique, or they're full of guidance but with blah patterns. Of course, some do hit the balance between pattern and technique. Some are fairly exhaustive, in fact, and you may already have them on your shelves. But...they're not THIS book. First, this book is by Ann Budd, a genius in our time..."Master Class" is the right name!" - "KnittingScholar.com" "It's not often that I scoop a book from the top of the review pile and take it home with me, and it's even less common for me to sit down and read it right away. But with sock knitting on my mind, I was intrigued, so last night I sat down to peruse this over a cup of tea. I was absolutely delighted to see that the first chapter of the book is devoted to explaining the whys and wherefores of sock construction. Top-down or toe-up? She's got it covered. Heel flap, short row or afterthought heel? Ditto. Want to choose from a pointed toe, a spiral or star toe, or a toe band? She's got your back with that, too.

Object of Desire: Elemental Living's Veridis Dresser [1]
I've long been a fan of using furniture outside the rooms in which the pieces were meant to be used. For example, check out this antique dresser that doubles as a kitchen island [5], and this old door reincarnated as a desk [6].
Recently, I found another item that could be used in virtually any room rather than being relegated to a bedroom: Elemental Living [7]'s Veridis Dresser. I've got my eye on the walnut with white finish (pictured) to keep my living room organized—but you can create your own customized look by choosing from three wood finishes and six drawer colors. It would also work nicely in a kid's room (especially the white oak with blue drawers for a baby boy).
The dressers come in three sizes, and range in price from $2,000 to $4,000. Elemental Living is a Denver-based company founded by architect Jonathan Coppin, who prides himself on quality craftsmanship with an environmentally-conscious focus. Find his designs at Boulder's Factory Made [8] or online at elemental-living.com [7].

Botryococcus braunii
Botryococcus braunii | |
Botryococcus braunii | |
Scientific classification | |
Kingdom: | Plantae |
Division: | Chlorophyta |
Class: | Trebouxiophyceae |
Order: | incertae sedis |
Family: | Botryococcaceae |
Genus: | Botryococcus |
Species: | B. braunii |
Binomial name | |
Botryococcus braunii Kützing |
Botryococcus braunii (Bb) is a green, pyramid shaped planktonic microalga that is of potentially great importance in the field of biotechnology. Colonies held together by a lipid biofilm matrix can be found in temperate or tropical oligotrophic lakes and estuaries, and will bloom when in the presence of elevated levels of dissolved inorganic phosphorus. The species is notable for its ability to produce high amounts of hydrocarbons, especially oils in the form of Triterpenes, that are typically around 30-40 percent of their dry weight.[1] Compared to other green algae species it has a relatively thick cell wall that is accumulated from previous cellular divisions; making extraction of cytoplasmic components rather difficult. Fortunately, much of the useful hydrocarbon oil is outside of the cell.[2]
Optimal growth environment[edit]
Botryococcus braunii has been shown to grow best at a temperature of 23°C, a light intensity of 60 W/M², with a light period of 12 hours per day, and a salinity of 0.15 Molar NaCl.[3] However, this was the results of testing with one strain, and others certainly vary to some degree. In the laboratory, B. braunii is commonly grown in cultures of Chu 13 medium .
Toxic blooms and competition[edit]
Blooms of Botryococcus braunii have been shown to be toxic to other micro-organisms and fishes. The cause of the blooms and their subsequent damage to the populations of other organisms has been studied. The exudate of Bb in the form of free fatty acids has been identified as the cause. A higher alkalinity changes these free fatty acids into a form which is more toxic to other species, thus causing Bb to become more dominant. Higher alkalinity often occurs when ashes from burned areas are washed into a body of water. While the dominance of Bb can be seen as damaging to the environmental diversity of a body of water, the knowledge of how Bb can gain and maintain dominance is useful to those who intend to grow ponds of it as a fuel crop.[citation needed]
Biofuel applications of Botryococcus oils[edit]
The practice of farming cultivating is known as algaculture. Botryococcus braunii has great potential for algaculture because of the hydrocarbons it produces, which can be chemically converted into fuels. Up to 86% of the dry weight of Botryococcus braunii can be long chain hydrocarbons.[4] The vast majority of these hydrocarbons are botryocuccus oils: botryococcenes, alkadienes and alkatrienes. Transesterification can NOT be used to make biodiesel from Botryococcus oils. This is because these oils are not vegetable oils in the common meaning, in which they are fatty acid triglycerides. While Botryococcus oils are oils of vegetable origin, they are inedible and chemically very different, being triterpenes, and lack the free oxygen atom needed for transesterification. Botryococcus oils can be used as feedstock for hydrocracking in an oil refinery to produce octane (gasoline, a.k.a. petrol), kerosene, and diesel.[5] (see vegetable oil refining). Botryococcenes are preferred over alkadienes and alkatrienes for hydrocracking as botryococcenes will likely be transformed into a fuel with a higher octane rating.
Three major races of Botryococcus braunii are known, and they are distinguished by the structure of their oils. Botryococcenes are unbranched isoprenoid triterpenes having the formula CnH2n-10. The A race produces alkadienes and alkatrienes (derivatives of fatty acids) wherein n is an odd number 23 through 31. The B race produces botryococcenes wherein n is in the range 30 through 37 biofuels of choice for hydrocracking to gasoline-type hydrocarbons. The "L" strain makes an oil not formed by other strains of Botryococcus braunii. Within this major classification, various strains of Botryococcus will differ in the precise structure and concentrations of the constituent hydrocarbons oils.[6]
According to page 30 on Aquatic Species Program (ASP) report,[7] the A-strain of Botryococcus would not function well as a feedstock for lipid based fuel production due to its slow growth (one doubling every 72 hours). However, subsequent research by Qin showed that the doubling time could be reduced to 48 hours in its optimal growth environment.[3] In view of findings by Frenz,[6] the doubling times may not be as important as the method of hydrocarbon harvest. The ASP also found A-strain Botryococcus oil to be less than ideal, having most of its lipids as C29 to C34 aliphatic hydrocarbons, and less abundance of C18 fatty acids. This evaluation of Bb oils was done in relation to their suitability for transesterification (i.e. creating biodiesel), which was the focus of the ASP at the time Bb was evaluated. The ASP did not study Bb oils for their suitability in hydrocracking, as some subsequent studies have done on the "B" race.
Compound | % mass |
Isobotryococcene | 4% |
Botryococcene | 9% |
Other hydrocarbons | 18% |
The two listed C36H62 entries are not typos; they are for two different isomers
Due to the burgeoning interest in alternatives to fossil fuels, there has been renewed research interest in Botryococcus braunii. The DOE Joint Genome Institute is sequencing the DNA of Bb in 2009-2010.[8] B. braunii is also the subject of research into the natural production of butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT),[9] an antioxidant, food additive, and industrial chemical.
Potentially useful strains[edit]
This heading is a collection of strains of note because of their potential utility. Some of these strains are patented, some are not. Some are the result of active DNA modification, some are the result of traditional selection processes.
In 1988, UCBerkeley was granted US Plant Patent 6169 for Botryococcus braunii variety Showa, developed by UC Berkeley scientist Arthur Nonomura, in the Melvin Calvin Laboratory as part of the Nobel laureate's groundbreaking interdisciplinary program for the development of renewable transport fuels. The proprietary variety was notable, says the patent application, because of its highly reproducible botryococcenes hydrocarbon content comprising 20% of the dry weight of "Showa." It is clear that Showa was borne out as the top source of hydrocarbons of its time. The patent expired in April 2008.
In May 2006, Nonomura filed an international patent application disclosing novel growth and harvesting processes for the Chlorophyta.[10] A separate patent for plants is also filed on Botryococcus braunii variety Ninsei that exhibits the feature of extracolonial secretion of it botryococcenoids that can be processed in existing gasoline refineries to transport fuels.
In August 2011, variety Enomoto was announced by IHI NeoG Algae LLC.[11] It has "...the highest yield for this fuel production over all the algae that have been discovered in the world", with a claimed monthly growth a thousand times higher than normal Bb strains. It is additionally said to be very robust,[12] presumably meaning it could be grown in an open environment (in ponds, instead of photobioreactors).

Update on Keshe free energy and healing initiativeBelgium inventor who claims anti-gravity, space propulsion, and free
energy generator technologies also has a water entrainment technology that has
helped some 400 people especially with neurological disorders including M.S.,
lupus, and fibromyalgia; offers to help Congresswoman Giffords.
The method is quite simple. A person is analyzed, either by coming to a clinic, or by sending blood and/or tissue samples; then a device is adjusted to address the problem, and the device is sent with the patient. A glass of tap water is set successively in a "box" within the device where it is entrained, and the patient drinks the water. LinksOther PESN Coverage

In his big "Save the Planet" speech, Obama compared people who have actually looked at the science and found that Global Warming hasn't raised temperatures to the Flat Earth Society.
"We don't have time for a meeting of the Flat Earth Society," Obama said. "Sticking your head in the sand might make you feel safer, but it's not going to protect you from the coming storm."
The Flat Earth Society however objects to being depicted as being skeptical of Global Warming. As devotees of imaginary science, the Flat Earth Society, like Obama, earnestly believes that cow flatulence is endangering the flat planet.
The Flat Earth Society is a real group, and its president says he believes climate change is real. He also doesn't like being used as an example of backward thinking on the issue.
"For what it's worth, the Flat Earth Society doesn't have an 'official' position on climate change. That falls a bit outside our remit," Flat Earth Soceity President Daniel Shenton told Business Insider in an email from England.
"Personally, though, I believe the evidence available does support the position that climate change is at least partially influenced by human industrialisation."
So that's a scientific consensus. Both the Flat Earth Society and a bunch of researchers from the Green Industrial Complex who make money by predicting a doomsday that never arrives both believe that the planet will be destroyed because too many people drive to work.
If only they could work out their differences about the geography of the planet, there could be a 100 percent consensus. And then Obama could join the Flat Earth Society.

Islamabad, Dec 28 (IANS) Pakistani Taliban chief Hakimullah Mehsud Friday rejected calls from the government to surrender arms but said the outfit was ready to talk, media reports said.
In a 40-minute video message sent to Pakistani TV channels, Mehsud said the Taliban believe in talks but will not accept the government's condition to disarm the fighters, Xinhua reported.
In the video, Mehsud was seen sitting between his deputy Wali-ur-Rehman Mehsood and spokesman Ihsanullah Ihsan.
Dunya and Geo TV channels said the video was delivered to their offices.
The video was released a day after another Taliban leader made an offer of conditional truce to the government. The offer was rejected by Interior Minister Rehman Malik.
The government was yet to react to Mehsud's latest video message.
Mehsud, speaking in his native Pashto language, accused the Pakistani government of breaking peace agreements with the outfit in the past.
He said the government cannot take independent decisions over pressure from the US.
The Taliban chief said the outfit will keep on attacking the ethnic Pashtoon Awami National Party (ANP) in the northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.

The Boston Bruins are putting the slow start to 2011-12 about as far away in their rear-view mirrors as possible. The B's notched their eighth win in a row by pummeling the New York Islanders by a score of 6-0. They've now out-scored opponents 42-14 during that jaw-dropping stretch. Tim Thomas took the 22-save shutout while Chris Kelly got in the scoring mix with two goals.
Amazingly, the Bruins remain behind the Toronto Maple Leafs and Buffalo Sabres for the Northeast Division lead. The Leafs and Sabres have 24 points while Boston has 22, although the B's hold two games in hand.
In a way, it echoes the point I made about the New York Rangers' seven-game winning being over; there's so much parity in the league that there's rarely a dull moment – even for the defending Stanley Cup champions. Six of their next nine games come away from Boston, so the Bruins can't sit back on their latest accomplishments.
- 8man - Nov 19, 2011 at 11:05 PM
Eh. One game at a time. Collect points. Meanwhile the tandem of Thomas and Rask gets stronger. It's only November. But other than game 7 of last years finals, I can't remember the last time I saw so many smiles on the Bruins bench. They are having fun.
We'll see where they are late Monday night.
Go Bruins!

Man, hockey unfolds in weird ways sometimes. It wasn't so long ago that the Capitals were on a nine-game face-destroying streak and the Oilers and Stars were duking it out for #1. Now the Caps can't catch a break against a Leafs team starting Gustavsson (and this marks the first time I've seen him let in only one goal) and Minnesota's leading the League.
Like I said. It unfolds in weird ways.
- 8man - Nov 20, 2011 at 9:16 AM
It's a long, long season. We aren't even a quarter of the way through it. I don't even bother with the standings until about mid-March. All I need to know in November and December is whether or not the Bruins won. Everything else sorts itself out.
Monday in Montreal to face the Habs, off to Buffalo on Wednesday and then a matinee against the Wings on Friday. What a great week of hockey for Boston. Happy Thanksgiving, Bruins!

I was on the run before so I couldn't respond to all your questions.
Picking up a mooring ball is pretty easy. The difference on the cat is that you'll have a bridle. You can grab the mooring lines, secure one bow cleat then play with the bridle.
Once you're on the water I don't think you'll notice the size, or that it will feel overwhelming to you. The twin engines make maneuvering pretty easy. You can turn the boat 360 using just the engines. Just take it slow, get a feel for the boat once you're in open water, then once in the mooring field you'll know how it responds.
There's a ton of room on them, you can set your drink, or plate down without worrying about it sliding off the table. The crew has a lot of area to spread out and relax
You're not going to get the thrill of heeling over but they sail nicely. Tacking angles are larger. But for comfort you can't beat them. The safety issue, regarding kids wandering around at night could be discussed...and precautions taken..like life jackets, at all times.
As far as reboarding though, I think the cat is pretty easy to reboard at the stern.

Millicent Vernon Hammond Fenwick (February 25, 1910 – September 16, 1992) was an American fashion editor, politician and diplomat. A four-term Republican member of the United States House of Representatives from New Jersey, she entered politics late in life and was renowned for her energy and colorful enthusiasm. She was regarded as a moderate and progressive within her party and was outspoken in favor of civil rights and the women's movement. She was considered the inspiration behind Lacey Davenport, a fictional character in Garry Trudeau's comic strip Doonesbury.
Early Life[edit]
Born Millicent Vernon Hammond, she was the middle of three children born to renowned politician and later Ambassador to Spain, Ogden Haggerty Hammond (October 13, 1869 – October 29, 1956) of Louisville, Kentucky and his first wife, Mary Picton Stevens (May 16, 1885 – May 7, 1915) of Hoboken, New Jersey.[1][2] Her paternal grandparents were General John Henry Hammond (June 30, 1833 – April 30, 1890), who served as chief of staff for William Tecumseh Sherman during the Vicksburg Campaign,[3] and Sophia Vernon Wolfe (1842 – May 20, 1923), daughter of Nathaniel Wolfe, a lawyer and legislator from Louisville.[4] Her maternal grandparents were John Stevens (July 1856 – January 21, 1895), oldest son of Stevens Institute of Technology founder Edwin Augustus Stevens and grandson of inventor John Stevens, and Mary Marshall McGuire (May 4, 1850 – May 2, 1905).[5][6][7]
She had a sister, Mary Stevens Hammond, and a brother, Ogden H. Hammond, Jr. When Millicent was 5 years old, her mother perished in the sinking of the British ocean liner RMS Lusitania, which her father survived. He remarried two years later, to Marguerite McClure Howland, and by that marriage Fenwick had a stepbrother, McClure (Mac) Howland.[8]
Raised in comfortable circumstances in Bernardsville, New Jersey, she attended the exclusive Nightingale-Bamford School in nearby Manhattan, Foxcroft School and college at Columbia University and the New School for Social Research. She married and divorced, and modeled briefly for Harper's Bazaar, then worked as a writer and editor at Vogue magazine for 14 years with a wardrobe and style to match the position. In 1948 she compiled Vogue's Book of Etiquette, which sold a million copies.[9]
In 1931, Millicent Hammond met Hugh McLeod Fenwick (February 17, 1905 – July 24, 1991), who was already married to the former Dorothy Ledyard, the daughter of New York attorney Lewis Cass Ledyard. He divorced his wife to marry Millicent on June 11, 1932. They had two children, Mary Stevens Fenwick (born February 25, 1934, died 1987) and Hugh Hammond Fenwick (born January 28, 1937; died 2002),[10] but separated a few years later and were divorced in 1945. Hugh Fenwick remarried while Millicent Fenwick did not.
Political Career[edit]
Local and State Office[edit]
During the 1950s, Fenwick became involved in politics via the Civil Rights Movement. Often described as being blessed with exceptional intelligence, striking good looks, and a keen wit,[11] she rose rapidly in the ranks of the Republican Party. She was elected to the Bernardsville Borough Council in 1957, serving until 1964, and around the same time was appointed to the New Jersey Committee of the United States Commission on Civil Rights, on which she served from 1958 to 1974. She was elected to the New Jersey General Assembly in 1969, serving from 1970 to 1973, when she left the Legislature to become director of the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs under Governor William T. Cahill.
U.S. House of Representatives[edit]
Elected to Congress from New Jersey in 1974 aged 64, Fenwick became a media favorite during her four terms in the House of Representatives. Television commentator Walter Cronkite called her "the conscience of Congress." She was known for her opposition to corruption by both parties and special interest groups. She was one of the most liberal Republicans in the House. Fenwick was also instrumental in establishing the Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe (CSCE), which oversaw the implementation of the Helsinki Accords, which covered relations between states and human rights across Europe.
Despite her upper-class, society girl background, Fenwick went to Washington with a tough, blue collar work ethic. Virtually any night, hours after typical congressmen had headed out for dinner and home, she stayed working in her Capitol Hill office, and always was willing to answer reporters' questions about her actions.[12]
Once, when a conservative male Congressman attacked a piece of women's rights legislation by saying, "I've always thought of women as kissable, cuddly, and smelling good," Fenwick responded, "That's what I've always thought about men, and I hope for your sake that you haven't been disappointed as many times as I've been."[11]
Candidate for U.S. Senator[edit]
In 1982, she ran for a United States Senate seat, and defeated conservative Jeffrey Bell in the Republican primary. However, she then narrowly lost the general election to liberal Democratic businessman and Automatic Data Processing CEO Frank Lautenberg in a stunning defeat.[8] Even Fenwick herself said in a subsequent interview, "I never expected to lose. I had no concession speech prepared, or anything. I never expected to lose."[13] (In 2008, when Lautenberg was running for reelection to the Senate, his Republican opponents made an issue out of his age (84), arguing that he had voiced similar criticisms of the then-72-year-old Millicent Fenwick during the 1982 election campaign. Lautenberg denied having made an issue of Fenwick's age, saying he "only questioned her ability to do the job.")
After leaving the House of Representatives following the 1982 election, Fenwick was appointed by President Ronald Reagan as United States Ambassador to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations in Rome, Italy.[14] She held this position from June 1983 to March 1987, when she retired from public life at the age of 77.
Later Life[edit]
Fenwick died of heart failure in her home town of Bernardsville on September 16, 1992.[9]
Fenwick was fluent in Italian, French and Spanish.[9]
Fenwick is considered by some to be the model for the character of Lacey Davenport in Garry Trudeau's comic strip Doonesbury,[9] although Trudeau insisted the character was modeled on no one in particular.[15]

Released: May 01st, 1993
Running Time: 51
Director: Rick Masters
Company: ZFX Productions
Victoria Vixen, Courtney Bishop, Travis Lee, Alison Parish
Critical Rating: Not Yet Rated
Genre: Specialty
It's 1999, and the synthetic aphrodisiac "erotika" has hit the black market. Alison and Courtney steal a shipment from drug kingpin Travis. While Alison enjoys herself in a hotel room, Travis and Rick torture Victoria to learn her whereabouts. After Victoria talks, Travis punishes Alison with bondage and electric shock. Finally, Travis finds Courtney at another hotel and punishes her as well. Several different types of bondage are shown, including an interesting scene where Courtney is bound to a washcloth rack with a dildo forced into her mouth. The action here is on the strong side, so this one isn't for the faint at heart.

NWAR: Trench Warfare
Detective Nwar gets his hands dirty for a political campaign.
4.41 / 5.00 2,735 ViewsWelcome to the city of Thamesis, capital to a kingdom divided....
Once the seat of power for an ancient, all-powerful monarchy, much of Thamesis is now run by the influential Britomart Corporation who use their seductive psychic technology to exert control.
It has become a city of torn loyalties as its inhabitants choose between life as a subject of the Crown or a Citizen of the Britomart.
Meanwhile down in the inner city streets, beyond the reach of either power, dangerous outlaws have successfully hacked Britomart's technology for their own gain, boosting its power exponentially. Some use it only to escape their daily grind while others maliciously spread terror on the streets.
As the city plunges towards civil war, can anyone bring order to the streets of Thamesis?
Episode 6:
It's time for the climax of our first six episodes inside the Great Hall of Albion. Who will turn out to be the hero...and the villain?
Great series
I remember watching this series a few years ago when it came out. Fast forward almost 4 years and no new episodes have come out.
Does anybody know what's happening with the project? Has it shutdown? Is it still in production?
It'll be a shame to see such a good series unfinished. But, that being said, I'd rather have some confirmation that the series is no longer in production than be left hanging.
I hope the great work continues guys!
I assume the reat is on your site? Either way its good though I think they could be a bit longer but still good job.
Where is the city of Thamesis?
This a great series but where's the rest of it?
It looks like there's potential for some really good deep story developments not to mention ever more impressive visual set pieces, but when and where?
Come on guys (and gals? - Somehow seems unlikely) don't leave us hanging.
An Amazing Series
I watched through the all the episodes a while back, and they were amazing. I came back hoping to see more, but I guess no such luck yet. Please make more episodes for this story!
Nicely done got one comment
I got no objections last time there was a proble with the background you guys fixed it and now it has corrected but just some thing that's a little weird.
Well when you go for smaal frame to big frame example The last scene "Your King"
Well there it looks like that he's fat when he isn't fat at all that's all I wanted to comment with, for the rest good story and keep em as touching as ever xD

Hello everyone.
I just purchased a Shimano Altus ST-EF51 7 speed shifter and it does not seem to be the same pull ratio as my current rear derailleur (SRAM)
The cable on the shifter moves approximately 3/4" and my cogset is approximately 1-1/4"
Will an Altus RD work? Should I spend a little more for something else?
This is for a cheap bike.
Thanks for any input.
